Who do you think is going home in this week's two-night "Dancing With the Stars" event, when two stars are expected to be sent home in a dreaded double elimination? If you think you know, make your predictions for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card (if you qualify according to our contest rules).
"Shark Tank" businessman Robert Herjavec is the top pick to be ousted by those predicting the results in our ongoing contest. He finished last in the judges' scores during last week's "Spring Break Special." That was the second week in a row he finished at the bottom, and now 57% of our users think it's his time to go, giving him 8/11 odds.
However, only one bottom-scoring contestant has been sent home so far this season: Redfoo at the very beginning of the competition. Does that mean Herjavec is actually safe? Maybe, but with the season narrowing to the very best contestants and two stars slated to exit on Tuesday night, there may not be any more wiggle room for a low-scorer to survive, even with support from at-home voters.
'DWTS' shocker: Nastia Liukin dethroned as frontrunner, can she reclaim high score?
"Bachelor" star Chris Soules has also finished at the bottom of the judges' scores twice this season, but even though he has shown improvement in recent weeks, our users think he's the second most likely to get the boot. 31% of them are betting on his exit, giving him 9/4 odds.
But wait — what about Noah Galloway? The model and military veteran actually scored lower than Soules in last week's show. In fact, he had the second lowest score of the night, and the second-lowest scorer has gone home every week for the last four weeks: Charlotte McKinney, Michael Sam, Suzanne Somers, and Patti LaBelle. Doesn't that mean he's sure to get the axe?
Our users don't think so. Only 3% are predicting his ouster, giving him 33/1 odds. That's probably because "DWTS" fans have a conservative streak that works in his favor. In season 18, outspoken Christian Candace Cameron Bure made it to the finals ahead of dancers who consistently scored higher than her, and in season 19, Sadie Robertson of the conservative "Duck Dynasty" clan was the season's runner-up. If voters are true to form, no way the "American Sniper" crowd will let a military hero go home just yet.
Or will they?
Our top users predicting "DWTS" agree on the likeliest contestant to be sent home. Radzie, who is the best predictor of this season of "DWTS" so far, says Herjavec will be eliminated. Second-place user Ryan Lapierre and third-place user Kevin Postel agree.
But they don't agree on who they rank second. Postel agrees with our consensus that Soules is the next most likely to go, but Radzie and Lapierre say it's Galloway.
A second-place ranking in our predictions won't factor into our contest; you won't be credited with two right answers if you have the second eliminated contestant in your number-two slot, but it's worth noting that this season's best "DWTS" predictors think Galloway is more vulnerable than Soules.
If you think Galloway will be eliminated, you can bet on him now at 33/1 odds and score major points, which could help you win our $100 prize.
Remember that coming out on top doesn't just mean answering the week's questions correctly. You also have to use your three big bets (one of 500 points and two of 200 points) strategically to score the most game points. If you bet on a long shot who pulls off an upset, you can really rack up the points. As we use those point totals to break ties when more than one user tops our leaderboard with the same number of correct answers, don't take them for granted.
'Dancing with the Stars' recap: Riker Lynch rises, while Rumer Willis polarizes judges
So if you bet 500 points on Galloway's elimination at 33/1 odds, you'll get 16,500 points if you're right. By comparison, if you bet 500 points on Herjavec at 8/11 odds, that will pay out with only 363 points if you're right. That could be the difference between winning our contest and losing it if you're tied for the most right answers, but proceed with caution. If you predict Galloway and you're wrong, you could knock yourself out of contention entirely.
We also shouldn't rule out another potential surprise. After a controversial "Bootylicious" jazz routine last Monday, Rumer Willis finished fourth in the judges' scores, just one point higher than struggling Soules. As a result, 2% of users think she'll be eliminated, giving her 50/1 odds.
The other three dancers appear to be safe: Riker Lynch, Willow Shields, and Nastia Liukin all get 100/1 odds of elimination.
But who do you think should be eliminated? We asked our readers that question last week, and the results were clear. More than half of you (50.31%) want Soules out of the competition. Next with 30.18% in our poll was Herjavec. Only 5.75% of you want Galloway to leave. Is that a good sign for Galloway? Our poll is still open; click here to vote if you haven't already.
Make or update your predictions below by dragging contestants from the left to the right in your forecasted order of likelihood of being eliminated. For example, if you think Herjavec's days are numbered, make sure to have him in first place. You can continue to update and change your predictions throughout the week until 5 p.m. PT each Monday. Just click "Save Predictions" when you've settled on your choice.
To enter your predictions for the other questions we ask (low and high score each week, ultimate winner), make sure you are logged into your Gold Derby account or register for a free account via Facebook, Twitter or Google.
After logging in, click on the "Predictions" button found at the top-right of every page. That will bring you to a list of every event currently being predicted at Gold Derby.

Customers Want Better Customer Service…Or Else!
16 October 2015
Beyond Philosophy CEO Colin Shaw provides some great insight into how customer feelings impact customer service in this recent blog post.
New research reveals that 98% of U.S. Consumers say Customer Service is important to them when choosing a brand and forming loyalty with it. This situation is not just unique to the U.S. In the U.K., 97% of Customers believe that Customer Service is important to them when they choose where they do business. Furthermore, it also reports 63% of 1,000 U.K. consumers said they have stopped doing business with companies that blow it with Customer service.
According to the 2015 U.K. State of Multichannel Customer Service Reportpublished by Parature and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, it's not a moment too soon. It's the law of Customer Experience Supply and Demand: they demand it so you better supply it!
How are companies blowing it? They evoke the wrong Customer emotions during the experience. According the report, the common complaints from those Customers surveyed included:
Feeling Hassled:
- Feeling passed around between different agents during an interaction (23%)
- Needing to contact a company several times to resolve a single issue (23%)
Feeling Frustrated:
- Not finding their information or getting resolution online (16%)
- Waiting on hold too long (15%)
Not Feeling Valued:
- Navigating automated systems, feeling unable to reach a real person (13%)
- Suffering impolite agents (9%)
All of these complaints correspond with feelings. That's because over 50% of a Customer Experience is how a Customer feels about it. Organizations that fail to make a Customer feel a certain way during their interactions get dropped by them. As the numbers show here not feeling valued and feeling hassled and frustrated are the type of emotions that facilitate getting dropped!
We know from our work with London Business School (that culminated in my bestselling book, The DNA of the Customer Experience, How emotions drive value, Palgrave Macmillan 2007) the emotions Frustrated and Valued are two that destroy and drive value, respectively. We normally establish how an organization is performing against a benched market research called Emotional Signature.
Customers are more demanding than in the past about the online presence of a company, too. Of the U.K. Customers surveyed, 92% of them expect a self-service portal on the website for Customer service, with 43% also saying they that portal to be mobile responsive. Sixty-five percent of these Customers also expect a response within 24 hours when they tweet about something to a company.
That's just the U.K. For the U.S. Report, Parature and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, they produced this infographic:
It's great that more companies are working on improving the Customer Experience for Customers. The thing about improvement is that it's a journey, not a destination. Believe me, as soon as you think you have arrived, the destination gets changed again. Companies that didn't even have a mobile site until last month shouldn't relax now—they need to make sure it's responsive to the online self-service Customer portal. Organizations that came up with great new live-agent systems at the call centers can't relax until they learn how certain call protocols employed by agents come across as abrupt or cold with Customers calling in for help.
It comes down to this: Customer Experience needs to move to the next level of Customer Experience. And there is always another level to reach.
Customers are a demanding lot. They want the best price with the most comprehensive service, and they want access to all of these things 24 hours a day, seven days a week—on their smartphone! However, the truth is, organizations better give it to them. In today's competitive and global marketplace, if Customers don't get what they demand, they aren't in short supply to go somewhere else to get it.
Are you ready to move your organization to the next level of Customer Experience?

Hello my crafty friends and Happy Wednesday, It's Kendra!
I've been so busy with work and also in my craft room over the last week...I've gotten several cards done, but here is one that I am really loving! I decided to go with a more simple design, which is really hard for me, I love to have a lot going on! :) I used "Chick with Brains" - one of our new Pretty Cute Stamps August Releases - love this image!
The little bow is a separate stamp (which you can use for a bowtie or a hairbow!), I stamped it on some patterned paper, cut it out and then glued it on....love it!
I used my Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol (one of my favorite mediums of choice) After I got her all colored and cut out, I used Ranger Glossy Accents to add some dimension to her glasses...makes them look so real! :)
I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I'm really lovin' this color combo (saw it on a pinterest board). The center frames are popped up on dimensionals for a little extra depth.
Here is another close up:
Thanks for looking and I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration....if you haven't grabbed this set yet, run over and get it! Don't forget to stop by our Pretty Cute Stamps FB page, like us and also post your PCS designs - we'd love to see what you've come up with! Stop on over at my Blog - Inkin' It Up with Kendra!
Have a fabulous day!!

Leaky ductwork can reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by 20 – 60%. Friction is another issue that decreases the efficiency of your system. You want your system to be designed optimally and installed properly.
Heat Loss
Air is lost in your HVAC system through holes, leaks and poorly connected ducts. Air is usually heated or cooled far beyond the ultimate temperature. Then it mixes with the room temperature in the appropriate proportion to arrive at the target temperature. If the ductwork is leaky, you will both lose the conditioned air as it leaves through the leaks, and unconditioned air will be introduced into the system. In order to maintain the best efficiency, the lowest energy bills and the highest indoor air quality you want to insure that all ducts are properly sealed, connected and insulated.
Air Resistance in Ducts
The other significant source of system energy loss is friction in the ducts. The efficiency of an air system is generally measured by its resistance to air flow, which is called head loss. Head loss happens because of drag against the walls of the pipe, and from moving through and around valves and turns in the ducts. We can reduce these losses in several ways:
Have your ductwork inspected to maintain the best scenario related to your health, safety and energy consumption.

Chain-Drive Cam Conversion for Twin Cam Harleys—Part II
THE STORY thus far: Serco in Capalaba fitted a Power Commander to our stock (apart from the Screamin' Eagle air filter and mufflers) Twin Cam which made a hell of a difference, especially mid-range (see Issue #295).
Cyclecraft in Bondi then fitted a Screamin' Eagle big bore kit which raised the compression from 8.8:1 to 9.4:1.
The bike was now taken the Motorcycle Weaponry in Mona Vale to have the Power Commander re-mapped. We were expecting a boost in performance but—shock, horror—the opposite occurred—the engine was pinging so badly we had to retard the ignition and we found that a low-compression motor with full advance runs far better than a high-compression motor that's been retarded. Damn! However, although the power had dropped from 78 to 73 hp, the torque was up from 75.5 to 82 ft/lb.
The problem lay in the mismatch between the compression ratio and the original cams. In general, higher compression ratios need longer duration cams.
Richard Nicholls at Redgrave Motorcycles in Hornsby was enlisted to change the cams (see Issue #310). He suggested that since we were pulling the cams out, we might as well replace the original chain-drive set-up with the more reliable S&S gear-drive cam kit. H-D introduced the chain-drive in the Twin Cam to reduce engine noise (all previous Harleys used gear-driven cams) so we asked ourselves, how much engine noise would the new set-up introduce?
In deciding which cams to use, we relied on the chart in the S&S catalogue. The chart cross-references compression ratios with cam durations and pointed us to the 510G.
Because we didn't want to pull the heads off again, the pushrods were removed with a set of bolt cutters and replaced with a set of Andrews EZ-install pushrods.
Within a couple of hours the Harley was running again and our first question: How noisy was the gear-drive cam kit? Apparently, as the lifter in an engine passes through maximum cam lift, the forces on the cam tooth change direction will results in an audible 'click' as the backlash moves from one side of the tooth to the other. Yes, the new cams do rattle at idle in our Harley, but it goes away as the revs increase, and it's a healthy sound and no worse than an Evo. We can live with that.
The Harley was now off to Motorcycle Weaponry to be re-mapped.
Motorcycle Weaponry have a Dynojet dyno which can be loaded up to hold the bike at any revs at any throttle setting. This way the Dynojet computer can adjust the mixture at all possible combinations without going on the road. Roger, the man in charge of tuning, rolled the Harley onto the dyno, shoved an exhaust gas analyzer up its exhaust, the Power Commander and exhaust gas analyzer were connected to the Dynojet computer, and he started producing the custom maps that would ensure the Harley was producing its maximum power.
Within an hour the results were in: We had gained an extra 7 hp at peak revs. Mind you, that's only 2 hp above our original figure and you'd have to ask yourself why bother. But the real gains were in the torque which had gone from 75.5 to 93.6 ft/lb—that's a massive 18 ft/lb increase mid-range where you need it most.
Back on the road, the Harley was exciting to ride. It was producing its peak torque between 3000 and 4000 rpm which is where I like to ride it. Even down to 2000, she pulls away cleanly without bother. But it's when you open the throttle that you feel the big difference—this pony hauls arse!
Next issue we'll be back at Motorcycle Weaponry to compare the stock Harley exhaust with a true dual system. Stay tuned…

Coffee at Grind in 2017
Hi everyone,
I thought it important to explain why, from 1st April we have unfortunately had to increase our coffee prices.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and we have tried to keep this to a minimum, as we know that even small amounts add up on a daily purchase like coffee. We strive to make the best coffee in London, and that means importing the very best coffee beans to our Roastery in Shoreditch and employing highly skilled teams who we invest heavily in training and retaining to operate the very best equipment.
From today, prices have increased by an average of 3%, 10p in most cases. Whatever happens, these coffee prices will now be fixed for at least the rest of this year.
For various reasons the cost of making great coffee has risen significantly over the last six months.
We buy coffee in dollars, so the weakened pound has led to coffee prices increasing by as much as 20%. On top of this, increased global demand for speciality coffee, climate change and the ever-present threats to coffee crops have also contributed to the underlying costs of green coffee rising significantly.
This month Business Rates are increasing by record amounts, in some of our locations by over 40%.
Lastly, we have been on the receiving end of price rises from many of our own suppliers including basic inputs like paper cups and lids.
We have done what we can to absorb these pressures over the past six months, becoming more efficient wherever we could whilst still continuing to deliver the best coffee in London. Because of these improvements we have been able to hold out for longer than most others. Today's changes now bring our pricing in line with them.
We want Grind to be somewhere you come every day, many times a day and at different times so we know it's really important that we are accessibly priced.
We have therefore looked across the business to see if we could simultaneously reduce prices in some other areas, and as a result of streamlining some of our suppliers we have introduced new breakfast and dinner menus in many of our locations, reducing prices in many places, and we have also reduced the price of some cocktails.
We realise that price changes hit our regular customers the hardest, so if you have one, please ensure you carry and use your Black Card with every visit.
As a reminder, Grind is the only place to reward you for both coffee and cocktail purchases - with your Black Card or the Grind App you earn one point for every coffee and cocktail you buy, and each ten points can be redeemed for a coffee, one of our famous Espresso Martinis, or any other cocktail or hot drink.
As a Black Card holder you'll also be entitled to exclusive offers, such as the 50% off breakfast and £5 cocktail offer we are currently running in Clerkenwell and Exmouth Market.
Thankyou for your continued support, your custom, and your understanding.
David Abrahamovitch
Founder, Grind.

Q: Our furnace has an old humidifier. I don't think it works any more, do we need to replace it?
A: Most old furnace humidifiers no longer function due to the hard water we put through them. Most have a float system that is on an arm. When the float is down it opens a water valve to fill the tray. When the water comes up sometimes the float gets stuck and water begins to overflow the tray. Most furnace plenums have rusty stains on them from just this problem. If you feel you need to humidify your home then you will need to learn to keep the humidifier clean and operable. In my opinion I don't think very many homes need a humidifier in the first place. If the humidifier is not properly cared for it could cause all kinds of problems including mold growth.
Q: Our furnace is old. Are there certain parts of a furnace that tend to wear out a lot?
A: I know of one insurance company that says the motor and belt is the most likely parts to cause a fire within your furnace. This company will treat even an old furnace as new if the motor and belt are new. I am sure statistics will bear the fact that most fires are started with the motor and belt. Other parts that may wear out are the thermal couple and the glow plug igniter. Some other parts I always check include the filter and chimney. Finally if your older furnace has a humidifier it is most likely no longer working. I am not a big fan of humidifying your home in this way and well over half of the furnaces I check in this category have humidifier problems.
I have a high efficient furnace. There is a drain line from the furnace where clear water comes out into the drain. Is it true that this water is pure and good for drinking?
No! The clear water coming from the furnace is very acidic and not safe to drink or allow your animals to drink. In fact the acid level in this water is so high it eats through copper fittings in just a few years. The water is a byproduct of the combustion process that takes place in the flue. With new high efficient furnaces we have discovered we can extract more heat from the combustion process by giving the hot gases a longer passage to go through. As the gases cool down they reach a point where the moisture in the gas precipitates out in the form of the water you see. This condensate should be drained into the floor drain where it can be safely drained away.
How can I tell if my boiler is running properly?
When I look at a boiler system I expect to see it running between 130 – 170 degrees F. If the temperature is in this range the pressure in the loops should be between 10-20 lbs. If either of these two things are not in this range I begin to wonder why not. I try to determine how the system is set up and where everything goes. I check which loops are currently active using the thermal camera and I check to see if they are producing heat. If the pressure is off it could be leak or even an air bubble obstructing proper flow. Of course I am not a repair person but I try to narrow down the problem for my customer. Boiler systems can be quite complicated but I have yet to see one that operates outside of these parameters. If every zone is similar in temperature leaving the boiler and things are flowing quietly throughout you likely have a properly functioning system. If any of the above things are out of whack you may want to have the boiler checked.
We live in the country where there is limited supply of natural gas. We have propane gas instead. Are there any concerns with using Propane?
Propane is a commonly used fuel but it does have a few short comings. The greatest obstacle you may need to overcome is that fact that our climate can become so cold that the propane can gel inside the tank and shut down your heating appliance. When the outside temperature gets to -45 degrees Celsius the propane gas can liquify in the tank and it will not travel through the lines in liquid form. The best solution is to place a heat lamp under the tank to keep the temperature above -45 degrees. Another limitation of propane is that it is a limited supply. In other words you need to call for delivery when the tank gets low. Most people rent their tank so that will cost you around $15/month. Remember that propane burns hotter than Natural gas so you need to change the orifice on most modern appliances. Propane needs a smaller orifice than natural gas. Lastly propane is about 3 times the cost of natural gas per BTU of energy produced.
I have a boiler that heats our home. Should I consider another source of heat as a backup, if so what do you suggest?
I have a boiler system and I have had some problems with it when it was -40 outside. It does not take long for the house to cool down in that kind of weather. I was a little panicked and wished I had a second source of heat. Since that time I have installed 6 electric heaters for backup heat in the rooms where the water lines are located. Of course electric backup is not very effective when the power if off. The safest backup heat is a wood stove but it is a lot more involved and costly to set up. Wood heat is also a lot dirtier and requires a lot of effort. I recommend some sort of backup just in case. The same can be said for a regular furnace but in my experience a boiler is more likely to go down then a furnace.
We are building a new home and want to install in floor heat in the floor of the basement. Do you have any tips on how we should proceed?
I can only answer this based upon my own experience. I have installed in-floor heating lines only once but I did some research and here is how I did it. First of all I laid out a product called insul-tarp under the concrete which is said to have an R-Value of 10. Next I placed the heating lines at 9" intervals throughout the basement with the first line 6" from the outside wall and the second line at 9" from the first. This provides a little more heat in the area where it is needed more. Another tidbit I discovered in my research was that I should not run the heating lines too close to the toilet as the heat could melt the wax ring. I used 3/8" rebar at 18" squares and twist ties to attach the lines above the rebar. Finally I placed the lines about two inches into the four inch concrete
: I live in an older home. Recently I had my pipes freeze under my kitchen sink. Why might this happen and how can I prevent it in the future?
In older homes the heat source in the kitchen was often placed on an inside wall because it was easier. Today we place the heat source primarily on the outside wall under or near the windows or doors. By not providing heat near the sink in some older homes you often ended up with problems. The original cabinets often had louvers in the doors under the sink to allow room air in. Over the years the cabinets were changed and the new cabinets had solid doors. Often the pipes froze while the family was away and the house temperature was turned down, making the sink area that much colder. My advice is to add heat or allow room heat to get in under the sink another way.
Parts of my home are cooler than others. I have vents in every room but they do not all preform equally well. How can I direct the heat to where I need it most while not overheating other rooms?
There is a science to the duct work in a furnace distribution system. For instance, if you vent a duct off the end of a plenum you will get more heat than taking the same vent off the side of the same plenum line. This is usually not something you have control over so here are some approaches you can use instead. First of all try to measure the air flow from the vents. If some vents are hotter and have more force it may be enough to partially close the grill in the floor or ceiling to hold back the heat. If the vent is weak you can buy inline fans to boost the air flow. If the air is cool you may be able to insulate the line somehow to keep the heat in.
Why should you install to the manufacturers instructions?

Appliances connection Complaint
Reviewed by katerose
worst experience ever
I called to reschedule installation, apparently appliancesconnection had marked my ticket as complete and had no record that installation had not occured. I opened a new ticket and scheduled installation again, my initial installation date later that week got pushed back again via email. So I called once again about getting it resolved, it would have cost $200 from a third party to get the washer/dryer installed the next day, so I just rescheduled my installation again. I also asked about getting my expedited shipping refunded - the delivery truck had reported that no one was present to accept the initial delivery. I told Applianceconnections that this was a complete lie and that I had waited all day, but because the item went out for delivery within the "expedited" timeframe my request for a refund was denied.
I waited around all day again on Monday for the installer to come for my unit, at 430pm I got a call that the truck "was in an accident." I immediately called aplliancesconnection, who had no record of the truck being in an accident and were told that my installation was still scheduled to proceed. They put me on hold and then confirmed that I "would have to reschedule installation" again. The installer then called and said the earliest it would be installed is sometime need week, at least a full month after my initial "expedited purchase." They went to recommend their third party installer (an extra $200) which I refused again. I was then told that it would probably be best for me to find someone else to install the unit for me.

A few weeks ago Ky and I went camping in Alabama Hills. It's where the mountains meet the desert and it's pretty dang awesome. Camping is a our thang if ya know what I mean, but with camping comes unexpected and often time, humorous events.
Chase and I showed up at the campsite around 10:30 at night. That's the norm for us since we work the normal 8-5 type of jobs. We are known to arrive at camp once the sun is already asleep. The great thing about showing up during the night is that we had two adorable cosmo people to greet us! And I'm not talking about the beautiful starry night ;). Ky and Spence were dressed in their cosmo onesie jumpsuits just roaming around haha, it was the funniest thing ever! But I must admit, they are dang comfy and perfect for keeping you warm over other layers of clothes.
After we exchanged hellos Chase started setting up our tent. Except, our tent wasn't exactly a tent. We forgot the poles! At first I thought Chase was kidding, but I quickly read by his tone that this was not a joke! And to top it off, our pump didn't fit our mattress pad (hah). Tricks on us!
Chase and I had a lovely night sleeping on a collapsed tent with only a blanket and tarp between us and the dirt. We kept another blanket on the top of us and thankfully the desert wasn't too cold that night. Oh, and a little critter which I suspect was a coyote decided to walk on top of me and sniff my head nice and good. Yes, TERRIFYING! It woke me up and all I could do was stay very still tight in my sleeping bag and pray for mercy. At first I thought it was a dream, but once I was awake and heard it sniffing around my head and sleeping bag I knew it was real! Chase still doesn't believe me, but I'm telling you people, it happened! Bunnies and rodents don't sniff that loud or weigh enough to wake up a deep sleeper like me. Lets just say it was a night to remember. Waking up alive has never felt so good. Even with a terrible back ache :).

My list of Famous Rock and Roll and Music Industry Collectors, Famous Motion Picture Industry Collectors and other Famous Collectors continues to grow.
This list shows the Collector's name and (in some cases) the Title of the piece they own and where they found the work (or works).
Trudie and Sting - were given my work in about 1996 by a former account manager for the legendary Studio 54 in New York City. The woman who purchased the work for a gift to STING and Trudie was a personal friend of theirs and they gave me permission to use their names in my press- as long as BOTH names are used.
Julia Roberts - purchased prints of my work for herself and for her co-star Dennis Quaid. This was around 1995 at a gallery in the Beaufort area named THE RED PIANO TOO. This gallery was near the set location for a film that Julia and Dennis co-stared in named "Something to Talk About". The piece she bought for herself is entitled "Elvis Dreaming of Love" and her gift to Dennis is entitled "Elvis Was a Leg Man". Julia told the store owner that she bought very little art for her home in New Mexico. Julia only purchased my art work from this gallery. The store owner told me she had also admired a print of my piece entitled "the Four Keys to Elvis Success". It is a folk art inspired piece showing four vignettes of Elvis' life and career. In the first one- Elvis is peeling potatoes for his Mama which is key number one-: (Love Your Mama). the other three keys are illustrated in the painting....(GO on TV., POSE WITH PRETTY GIRLS and WEAR FANCY CLOTHES). Julia Roberts sent me and the gallery owner a long personal Thank You note. She is the most friendly and kind celebrity I have been in contact with.
Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins - Susan purchased two large Primary Original pieces of my work around 1991 from a non-profit gallery in Memphis. Susan was in Memphis visiting her former husband on the location of one of his films. The titles of the two pieces she purchased are "I Saw Elvis Watching Elvis Impersonators at the County Fair" and "I Saw Elvis Selling Velvet Pictures from a V.W. Van in a Lot" She also visited a local shop in Memphis called EDDIE WORLD and purchased about eight to ten of my smaller framed prints as gifts for her friends. Susan only purchased my work in both venues. Susan is one of my favorite film stars. In a major magazine article she was asked who her heroes were and she cited Jesus Christ as one.
Carry Elwes - purchased my work from a gallery in the Denver area around 1995. I have forgotten the name and location of the gallery. When I locate it- I will add the name in. I think it was called "Fish Head Soup" and has gone out of business.
Jimmy Vaughn - purchased my work from a shop in Memphis named EDDIE WORLD (mentioned above) which was operated by the artist and musician Lamar Sorrento and the artist and writer Suzie Millions.
Jimmy Buffet - purchased my work after seeing it in a gallery on St. Helena's Island (near Beaufort S.C.) named THE RED PIANO TOO (mentioned above). He sent his closest associate to my home to negotiate the purchase of my work. Through her, he bought three Primary Original paintings. The first was a large piece for his home entitled "I Saw Elvis at the Krispee Kreem", the second was a painting for his daughter (about Janis Joplin) entitled "There's No Mercedes or Color T.V.'s in Heaven" and thirdly, he commissioned a very large piece about Elvis entitled "Elvis Impersonators Waiting in line for the Head with Jimmy". This piece currently hangs in a bar Jimmy owns in Key West.
R.E.M. - Each member of the band was given a Replica Original painting of mine in 1996 by their booking manager, Peter Conlon.
Peter Conlon -(R.E.M.'s booking manager) was given my work by a talent developer on Music Row in Nashville.
Trisha Yearwood - was given my work by an executive who represented her on Music Row in Nashville.
Bob Doyle -(Garth Brook's manager) purchased my work from a gallery in Nashville.
Ratso (Larry) Sloman - (Bob Dylan's long time friend who Dustin Hoffman's character is based upon in the film "Midnight Cowboy") purchased a framed print of my piece entitled "The Famous and True Story of When Andy Gave Bob a Painting and Bob Traded it for a Couch" in a gallery in the South East. He called me to say it had been stolen on his plane back to N.Y.C. I sent him a free replacement and we became phone friends. During that time he asked me to donate a painting for Howard Stern's 40th birthday bash In N.Y.C.. I responded by asking if he could take up a collection to purchase my work. I explained that I feel an artist giving his or her work away is unethical. Unfortunately, he did not see it that way. The Wallflowers were beginning to have some of their songs go to the Billboard top 40 and they played the event. In hindsight...I might wish I'd done the work for free (as a moral exception) just in hope of meeting Dylan's son and Howard and Ratso...
Leon and Geri Gast -Leon Directed the award winning documentary film about Muhammad Ali entitled "When We Were Kings", and Geri was an executive in a fortune 500 company in N.Y.C.. They purchased a large Primary Original painting entitled "Shelter From the Storm" and a smaller Primary Original painting with Elvis boxing against Ali.
Janis Ian - was given my work by a Music executive in Los Angeles.
Willie Nelson -was given my work by the previously mentioned Peter Conlon.
The William J. Clinton Presidential Library - had my piece entitled "Elvis Presents a Bill Before Congress" donated to the library by a folk art Gallery named "America Oh Yes!". The donor stipulated that the piece be displayed on the ground floor and not only in Clinton's private office (where only he and his secretaries would see it....//joke implied there in his letter ///....) This was following the Monica Lewinski scandal.
a member of The Mavericks -purchased my Primary Original painting entitled "I Saw Elvis at the Mc Donnalds" directly from me around 1990.
Tim Burton -(the original Director of the Batman Movies) purchased my work from a gallery near Beaufort, S.C.
Randy Quaid - purchased my work from a show in a famous Coffee Shop and Theater in Nashville called "Bongo Java".
After selling my work to THOUSANDS of collectors across the USA and Europe for years via different galleries and venues I started a new venture in 2004 when I began my eBay Gallery.
Since then - I've sold over FIVE HUNDRED pieces to Patrons across the world through eBay.
I have Patrons in Paris France, Toronto Canada, Greece, Ireland, Australia, Chile and EVERY State in the U.S.A.
As an ending thought- my Collectors and Patrons may be interested in knowing that some of my celebrity collectors own framed prints of my work (but I no longer create them). and other famous collectors own PRIMARY ORIGINALS of my work. It depended upon the inventory available to them when they found my work...
and finally- in this picture- (taken in 2013) I am holding a hand painted VERSION of my work- These are hand painted pieces (created entirely by me...) By the way ++=I neither own or employ 'elves' to do my work for me....I create advertise represent and sell my work as a one woman operation.
These pieces are ethically technically legally (and in every way) Original Paintings. The demand for them arose when Patrons admired previously sold pieces and wanted something similar. They are much less expensive than my PRIMARY ORIGINALS or REPLICA ORIGINAL paintings. Often I spend a week or more working on each piece. They often have unique frames which I embellish with hand made mattes and vintage objet d'art'.
Lastly, Many Private Collections and Museums across the world also own my work.

Amid widespread protests and worrying signs of dysfunction in the administration of President-elect Donald Trump, millions across the United States are likely wondering how, or if, it's possible to oust the billionaire from the White House before the 2020 presidential election. While there have long been talks of impeachment hearings, a favorite theory this week for removing Trump from power involves the 25th amendment to the Constitution.
The amendment was approved in 1967, pushed into existence in the wake of the stunning 1963 death of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in Dallas. The Constitution had never officially laid out a succession plan that detailed how, exactly, a vice-president should take power should a president no longer be able to carry out his or her duties. Up until the amendment, vice presidents effectively took over because of a precedent set by Vice President John Tyler in 1841, according to the National Constitution Center. The 25th amendment clearly spelled out that a vice president took over if a president died, resigned or, importantly, was removed from office.
The amendment opened the door for removal if a president was deemed to be unfit for office, different from an impeachment hearing that typically centers around investigating if a president acted illegally while in office.
There are two options to remove a mentally unfit president, which were helpfully laid out step-by-step by Fusion. The first option requires a majority of the president's cabinet — positions such as secretary of state and secretary of defense — joining together with the vice president to declare the president is unfit. The second option requires the vice president to convince a majority of the House of Representatives and the Senate to decide the president is unfit. Both chambers of Congress then submit a letter stating such, which removes the president from power.

You know damn well that's not why he is mentally unfit.
It's his pathological lying and narcissistic personality disorder.

Marijuana Addiction
While the tide is turning and most people don't have a problem with marijuana, it doesn't mean that it's a miracle drug like some believe. No, with weed, a person will often neglect his or her personal life. Not only that, while smoking marijuana, one will be in a different world, and they will be unable to focus on life and enjoy it to the fullest. With this in mind, many are opting to quit, and here are five tips to stop marijuana addiction.
Figure Out Why You Smoke Marijuana
Now, just like with alcohol and other drugs, people often use weed as a way to escape life. Think about it, if you have a long and tough day at the office, you will want to relax, in any way possible. While true, you don't want to abuse substances just to enjoy life. For this reason, if you are looking to quit weed, you will want to find out the root of the problem. If it's stress or other issues, you will want to fix the underlying problem. Then, you will not feel the need to light up when you come home.
Become a Busy person
Many people will come home and light up a joint or take a bong rip when they are bored. This is very true for people without jobs or other obligations. Even people with jobs will often have little to do after work. For this reason, if you are looking to quit weed, you will want to stay busy. Then, if you are working out, hanging out with friends and living a full life, you will not need to resort to marijuana.
Like-minded People
Often, people will smoke marijuana in a big group. While it's more socially acceptable to do it in a group, it's still not beneficial. No, if you struggle with addiction to weed, you will want to hang out with people who don't' smoke marijuana. Then, if you are spending your time with positive people who want more out of life, you are going to have more fun and get more done. Think about it, if you to hang out with other people who are on drugs all day, you are not going to have much motivation to quit smoking marijuana.
Seek Professional Help
Believe it or not, if you struggle with marijuana addiction, you can seek professional help. This is true and has been true for a long time as plenty of people struggle with weed. To get to the bottom of your issue, you can talk to a counselor specializing in marijuana addiction recovery. While this is a long road, it's a great one to travel down as a professional can help you get rid of your expensive habit once and for all.
If you are struggling with addiction to marijuana, you should try your best to take on the issue. Otherwise, if you simply smoke weed all the time, you are going to miss out on a full and happy life. Luckily, if you get to the root of the issue and stay busy, you are well on your way to getting rid of your habit. Not only that, if you hang out with link-minded people and get help from a professional, you are likely to quit and enjoy your life again. Remember, marijuana addiction is no laughing manner, and you need to take a proactive approach to help your cause.

Diamonds and jewelry are meant to be clean at all times so that it will always shine and sparkle thus giving it that luxurious appearance. It simply won't provide much significance if it is not maintained and cleaned from time to time.
For owners of diamond jewelry, cleaning your accessory should be a habit especially if you're wearing them regularly. You need to follow a certain cleaning procedure to ensure that you will be handling it well and that it's sparkling shine will be projected like it used to. So check out these steps we provide on how you can clean your diamond jewelry the right way.
Handle your jewelry with care – When cleaning your diamond jewelry, it shouldn't be handled in a careless manner. There is a proper way of handling it to maintain the accessory's integrity and that you won't be compromising its appearance that much. When you clean, avoid touching the stone with your bare hands and handle the necklace or diamond ring by the edges only. This will ensure that no scratches or fingerprints will contaminate the appearance of your diamond jewelry.
Clean the diamond – To clean the stone of your accessory, use a soft brush, water, and soap. There is a unique brush dedicated for cleaning jewelry, but if you don't have it yet, then you can also use an old toothbrush, lipstick brush, or eyebrow brush. Make sure that the brushes you use are soft and that they are clean enough to be brushed on your diamond jewelry.
Create a mixture of mild detergent and warm water – Combine the mixture in a bowl and place the diamond jewelry in it. The cleanser that you use should be a mild one. If you want, you can also use diluted ammonia just like what jewelry stores normally do. Another easy way of doing this is if you combine hot water and Windex. The hotness in the water will clear off any oils stuck on the stone.
Soak the diamond jewelry for a few minutes – Before brushing, always soak the accessory first. When scrubbing the diamond, make sure that you go under the stone since this is the area where most of the dirt and oil will gather. Clean every area well until you are satisfied with its sparkly appearance.
Rinse – After cleaning and brushing the diamond jewelry, you should then rinse it to totally remove the dirt that was on it. You can even use a fine-mesh strainer in rinsing it so that the diamond will shine like the way it used to.
Use a clean cloth in drying – If possible, use a clean cloth in drying your diamond jewelry rather than paper towels or tissues. There is a jewelry polishing cloth dedicated to it if you want to give it even more care and be able to dry your accessory safely.
Now that you have these cleaning tips, there's no reason for you not to clean your diamond jewelry. Do this constantly to ensure that you will be able to retain your accessory's spark and shine.

Dear John: How do you feel about the repeal of Glass Steagall? To my mind, the original act was introduced for the specific purpose of alleviating the problems of our banks being both commercial and investment banks. The law worked for about 70 years and I think it did a great job of correcting a problem and keeping the two banking functions separate.
We need to go back to what worked pretty damn well and was repealed for the benefit of a few greedy bankers and greedier senators and congressmen. If you agree, please start calling for it in your column. M.K.
Dear M.K.: I think people are inherently greedy and will do whatever it takes to acquire riches. And I think the people on Wall Street, being as smart and well-financed as they are, can find all sorts of ways to make money at someone else's expense.
Anyone who can't see that now has been asleep for the past decade.
This much is true: Wall Street needs to be watched closely.
But as long as Wall Street remains the main source of funding for candidates for public office there is little hope for serious reform.
What'll happen? At some point regular folks will just stop trusting the stock and bond market and the system will either have to reform itself or blow away. We might not be far away from that point.
Dear John: I purchased my first home, a condo, for $384,000 in September. I have a mortgage of $332,000 through Wells Fargo and Fannie Mae. At the time of the purchase, my monthly income was $4,000. Since then I have lost a job and a got a new one which pays me $2,600 monthly.
My mortgage is $2,116 a month and maintenance is $194.31.
So I figured I would call Wells to see if I qualify for this "so-called" government relief program. They told me that I did not qualify — for the loan modification program. And they told me I couldn't even refinance because I don't have enough equity.
The current mortgage is a 7-year fixed at 5.75 percent interest only. I really need to change to a regular 30-year fixed at a lower rate.
If I don't qualify for any help, who does? Do they really want me to default? As of now I haven't missed or been late on a payment. Who gets the help? J.F.
Dear J.F.: The squeaky wheel gets help.
Have you really exhausted all avenues at Wells Fargo? Called the president's office at the bank? Tell them you'd go to the press?
Look, we are in uncharted territory. The banks don't know what to do. And homeowners in trouble don't know what to do. And the people at the bank you would be dealing with probably don't even know details of the government programs.
Carol Finegan, director of administration for Brooklyn Housing & Family Services Inc., says that you didn't give her enough information about your case. "Frequently the lender will tell the borrower that nothing can be done when things can be done. Often they are speaking to the wrong department, servicing rather than mitigation," she says.
"The other issue is that we have to prove that mitigation is necessary. That is not difficult in many instances," Finegan added.
Also, if someone has struggled and maintained their payments up-to-date, like you have, by maxing out credit cards and borrowing from retirement funds, the bank thinks they don't need assistance.
In other words, since you've made all your payments, Wells Fargo may not believe you are really in trouble. If you miss a few payments maybe the bank will reconsider.
Finegan has asked that you contact her. I am passing along your phone number in a separate e-mail. Good luck.
Send your questions to Dear John, The N.Y. Post, 1211 Ave. of the Americas, N.Y., N.Y., 10036.
