- The following reviews are for product "COOPER METAL SIDE CHAIR"
Metal Industrial ChairsThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Loobie2 years ago
These chairs are great quality and more than I had expected! With an industrial home, these metal chairs were exactly what we needed to tie our aesthetic altogether. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend!
ModernThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Tish11 months ago
These chairs add a modern touch to my kitchen. My table is a natural wood and these chairs look great with it. Because they are metal, they are easy to keep clean. Great purchase at a reasonable price. They are a distressed metal so if you don't like streaks and scratches, these may not be for you.
Great chairsThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.LoftGuy3 years ago
These chairs are very nice and extremely sturdy. The rubber bottoms at the base of the legs are also great at protecting the floor as well. I got four of these chairs to be the side chairs at my dining room table in an urban loft, with two large suede chairs at the heads of the table. These chairs are a great color for my space and have some nice texturing/wearing to the metal beneath the clear coat. The chairs don't have a flawless appearance so be aware of that if that is your desire. The ... seat size works well for me. I have seen smaller and I have seen larger but these are comfortable. They are comfortable enough that when I work from home I do sit in this chair all day at my dining table. One small note/gripe. I was hoping these chairs did not have the holes in the seat like most chairs of this style have. From the picture I thought they would not, but actually they do.

Very chicThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Mrsbchastine10 months ago
I really like these planters. They look very modern, but kind of traditional in black. I gave them a 4 because I wish the bowls were a little deeper. I placed a snake plant in them, and I had to be creative finding a liner to use for the plant. I didn't want to plant directly into the bowl because the metal is pretty thin, and I was concerned about corrosion. I do want to buy another set for other rooms in the house.
Super cute!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Nicolette1 month ago
These "pots" are so cute and minimalistic. I have them next to my TV as a little decor and just put a couple house plants in them to liven them up! Great for more than just plants, too! Leave them empty, or put whatever your little heart desires in them, it will all look good. ;)

A perfect accent pieceThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Breezy6 months ago
I bought this chair to use as an accent piece in my bedroom along with the Knox bedframe. I absolutely love it. As such a great value and the design is on point. It's not the most comfortable chair to sit in, but I really just use it to put my shoes on. Would definitely recommend.

- The following reviews are for product "KIT-CADEN ROUND DINING TABLE"
Love this table!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Dana9 months ago
I have been researching round tables (dozens of them!) for over a year! Couldn't make a decision. I really really wanted a 48" round Restoration Hardware one. Kept waiting for RH sales but never found one. Couldn't justify spending almost $2000. Someone told me about this table and I was leery at first. But when I saw it in person at the store, I was sold. First of all, I love that it's 55" because 48" is just a little too small for what I was looking for but the 60" ones were a little too big. ... It's rare to find a size in between 48" and 60" so I was so happy to see a 55" available. It is very rustic looking and looks similar to the Restoration Hardware one that I love but literally a third the cost! And I was able to pick this table up the very next day. My *only* negative about this table is that sometimes small slivers of the wood come up when wiping the table off, but it's so rustic looking that you can't tell/doesn't bother me. I just am careful when wiping it down. I really love this table and have gotten a lot of compliments on it. Would recommend!
Dining Room TableThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Pedro4 months ago
I bought this table a few weeks ago and it has served my purposes very well. I like the base which has some nice detail and you can see the grain in the table top. It has a nice color and cleans easily. There is plenty of leg room under the table and it does not wobble at all which I appreciate. It has a nice rustic/traditional look to it which is also nice. It has a good style and is easy to match with other furniture in the apartment.
Casual, fun round tableThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Shala8 months ago
We absolutely love our new table. We wanted a little rustic looking table without the high end price. It's perfect! The color is exactly what we were looking for and looks great in our space.

Perfect Men's DresserThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Dave1 month ago
Perfect large chest of drawers. We needed something that would fit all my clothes and fill in a large space. This dresser works perfectly. Looks great too! Only thing to note is that it does smell from the stain when you first get it, so don't put your clothes in right away!
Love this dresserThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Heatherroc7 months ago

Best dresser on the showroom floorThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Reinette9 months ago
We assessed all the tall dressers they had in the showroom and my husband liked this one best. We wanted sturdy (some of the ones we liked online were quite flimsy in person), easy drawer glides, deep drawers, lots of capacity, reasonable price. He liked this look so much he got the nightstand also, and we are thinking about the bed frame. It's solid pine, which was important to us (no MDF, etc.) and the finish is nice, not cheap looking. He's got it filled with clothes and it still slides well. ... Would purchase again.

Excellent frame!!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.KimberlyBL2 years ago
I purchased this bed frame after looking at several others in other stores. I wanted a frame that I would like for years to come, was well-made, not a veneer finish, sturdy, and quiet (wink). This ticks all of those requirements. This is a very sturdy frame. The style is rugged, rustic, minimalist, and versatile. It did cost more than the others that I looked at elsewhere, but is a much better value due to its quality and construction.
Great Bed!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Maxwell9 months ago
This bed arrived on time, was assembled very quickly by the courteous technicians and looks amazing. I also purchased the nightstand which looks great with the bed. Also, there is plenty of room underneath the bed for roller storage if that is something you are looking for. I use this bed without box springs and it has been very comfortable so far.
Gorgeous Reclaimed Pine Country Style BedThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.IMJBB4 months ago
Love at first sight. But did not purchase impulsively. Went back to the store a few times to know that I was certain. I was. It's a true 'statement' bed without intending to be overt about it. Looks awesome. Can you tell I'm super pleased?

Awesome Rug!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.1SmartyShopper5 months ago
Great find. Rug is a muted coloring, will not compete with your furniture but will be impressive to view. This is a non-pile, non-loop rug. No worries on vacuum getting caught on loops. Easy to clean and care for. Love the low-profile it has, not thick, not a trip issue. Second purchase of this same type of rug from Living Spaces, just different colors.

Preparing for a Photo Shoot
As real estate photographers we use specialized equipment, imaging software and knowledge to show a home in its best possible light. However, this is only fully achieved when the property has been properly prepared, or "staged" so that the images invite the viewer to want to see more and call for a personal showing.
The property needs to be shoot-ready when the photographer arrives at the scheduled appointment. The following are some basic guide lines for preparing your property, not only for a successful photo shoot, but also for realtor home showings as well.
General Interior:
Living & Family Rooms:
Just before the photographers arrival, do a final walk-through and make sure everything looks the way you'd like in the photos.

What the players say:
Just received my evolution yesterday just in time to start recording demos. I am absolutely blown away. Nothing too boomy or bright. It sounds good no matter how you set it and reacts well to guitar volume roll off! This is the most versatile overdrive/distortion I've ever played. You sir, are a genius! Me and my friend both love this pedal. I am looking forward to what you release next because eventually I would like my board to be an all buffalo effects board! I'll be sure to keep in touch and spread the word. God bless!
Took the Evolution and Patriot home last night and they both sound incredible!!!
Not only are these 2 of the most amazing pedals I have used, the customer service you provide is second to none!!!
I had received the Evolution this afternoon,and from the moment I plugged it in I LOVED it!!!!(played it for three hours)
I have a DG-2 and like it a lot--But the EVOLUTION has more clarity,better at lower drive and holds together through all levels of drive--INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
I received the evolution today. Absolutely awesome mate. I will be putting in an order for a boost next month
Got the pedal today. Sounds fantastic like your other pedals. Keep up the good work
I just wanted to let you know, I love the pedal, it has some really great sounds and is nicely versatile. It will easily become my main OD/Distortion and sitting well next to my germanium fuzz
I've received both pedals and… congratulations, what a great, great, great pedals, it has accomplished my expectations and far beyond.
The tone I've always had in my head is finally here. And what a great combination playing together the power booster and the evolution.
THE BEST!!!...and I have been around this stuff for over 30 years!Hats Off my friend.
It usually takes me about two weeks or more to really familiarise myself with a pedal and get it to sound good and play well with my existing gear. It took me minutes to fall in love with your power booster and after a couple days I can say it is my favourite pedal. I like it more than my Butler Tube driver and the power booster is always on. It has even replaced my tube driver as my main overdrive unit.
I have been playing the Ram head a lot lately, comparing with the different BM style pedals I have. It is coming up top! Your pedal also has an interesting upper octave thing I like. Helps it cut through the mix better.
About a week ago the powerbooster arrived and i'm totally blown away by that versatile masterpiece.
i don't know how you do it, but besides sounding excellent, every of BuffaloFx pedal i bought so far
has something magical to it. it makes me get lost (in a good way)
in the stuff i'm playing, like no other pedals. so i can't thank you enough for creating those 'tools'.
I received the pedal a few weeks ago. I love it. This is the quietest pedal on my board. I believe Bjorn at Gilmourish said this was a pedal to leave on for all types of music and I believe him, I have not turned it off. Thanks for such a great pedal
Pedals arrived and are just EXCELLENT.
Have been playing so much did not have time to reply ;)
I prefer it to the Throbak. As a clean boost, or with the gain dimed, they sound very similar, but I prefer the Buffalo's in-between sounds when going from clean into overdrive. Besides, the PB makes the already great-sounding Ram's Head sound even better.
Steve, this is a fantastic pedal! The only problem is to decide which settings to use, because it's capable of producing so many great tones.
Got the pedal some days now and I must say that this is by far the best germanium fuzz I've ever had.
I never had a germanium fuzz that I could really use in a band situation, the pre-gain is a great addition! Works perfect!
Great job man, I'll spread the word (and tone)!!
played 3 minutes with your ( now my ) pedal.
After the first note I understand immediately that this is the PERFECT Muff, absolutely fantastic, there are no words.
The best Muff that I ever play.
I recieved the pedals today, and they sound huge !!!
Thanks for the great service,
Just tested the pedal and i've gotta say it'a a beast. Awesome thing, thanks a lot
As if we aren't having enough earthquakes at the moment I plugged in the RAMS Head…and wow…the earth moved again!
Sounds awesome with my DG Black Strat with EMGDG20 pups!
Love it! It's the missing link in my sound. I pick the strings pretty hard, both with picks and my fingers, and as a result have struggled to get the right distortion sound to fit my playing.
The fuzz is loud(!) and filthy, even when I back it off a bit, so I still get all the punch and grunt but can whack the strings as hard as I like without losing definition or getting too messy. And in combination with full distortion it is totally brutal but still keeps the clarity somehow.
Thanks heaps for the pedal…I'll certainly treasure this one!
Love the build quality
What can I say..
The rams head is just awesome. The tone is exactly what i was looking for! And the battery case is pure genius!
Great work! Thank you!
Steve this fuzz is OUTFUCKINGSTANDING my friend.
This fuzz pedal is 100% AWESOME!
The pedal arrived. It sounds AMAZING!!!
Fact is I get a bucket-load of any boutique fuzz sounds I could hope for from this pedal. Seriously, it goes all the way from ripped speaker tones through to motorcycle gang leaving town with undertones of crumbling building growl! Absolutely Awesome!
Got the pedal yesterday and it sounds awesome! thanks for everything!
Got it today. Fantastic, top notch, amazing pedal. Thank you!
The pedal arrived yesterday. I'm knocked out by the tones. Great job! Thanks.
A quick message to let you know that the pedal arrived safely today. Thanks for the quick shipping!.
After a bit of a play, I must say that I am extremely pleased. None of the Fuzz's that I've tried to far have this great warmth and flexibility and can get a OD type of sound like yours. The pre-gain is great in this respect.
I'm also really impressed by how if cleans up. Thank goodness you sent one to Brett Kingman, or I might have missed it!
Just got the pedal... it's got a phenomenal sound with my strat. For my very first fuzz...I'm extremely happy! I love the dynamics and I really like how it changes character when you already have an overdrive amp. Looks like I'm going to have a late night tonight :-)
I got the Fuzz last week and finally had some time over the weekend to try it out. This box can make some serious thunder for sure!! :-) A lot of nice tones to be had. Anywhere from classic Fuzzface all the way up to high gain searing leads. Very nice! I'm still not sure where to place it on my board (before/after Wah), but when I have some more time, I'll see what sounds best. It's a keeper for sure, thanks!
You have the magic touch... it sounds great, from (almost) clean boost up to fuzziest heavens.
I am very impressed/surprised by the tone/timbres/nuances possibilities in the cleanest settings and with volume rolled off (maybe 'cause are not much explored in the videos); now my dallasrangemaster seems futile... ;)
It will take long but very pleasant time to explore all the potentialities... controls are extremely sensitive (and I have a very good feeling with the knobs and input jacks).
Veeeery musical and inspiring!
Steve, still can't say enough about this fuzz. Just over the top-- I use it as much as I play--Always
Perfect Fuzz Face, so grateful
Just to let you know that the pedal is absolutely fantastic, a real joy to use, and has relegated every other big dirt pedal to the graveyardJ I use it pretty much for everything and it is magnificent
Got the fuzz pedal and I'm really enjoying it. Having the pre-gain volume on the top of the pedal really solves some problems for me w/my active electronics setup. Because of that, I'd like to order a second one for my other pedal board.
I just did a brief test with the Ge Fuzz and Sun Face, using my Strat and Clark Beaufort (5E3 replica) with volume set around 4.
Both are great fuzzes, albeit somewhat different. The biggest difference to my ears is that your fuzz is slightly brighter and more aggressive. Played in isolation, the Sun Face sounds warmer and more polite. This difference will probably turn into an advantage for the Ge Fuzz in a band situation, because the Sun Face gets easily lost in the mix.
Both pedals clean up nicely with guitar volume rolled down. Because of it's brighter character, yours actually gives a more usable rhythm tone.
Absolutely love the pedal. it took me a while to get into it (i'm just not used to fuzz pedals) but its great. its the exact sound i was after.
The pedal arrived this am. It's GLORIOUS!!!!! love it.

Research innovation in digital culture
Event details Event cancelled
The EU Centre at RMIT presents this annual public lecture, "Research innovation in Digital Culture in the EU context: some notes from the ethnographic field�.
Speaker: Elisenda Ardévol, Associate Professor at the Department of Arts and Humanities, at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
Elisenda explains:
"Digital culture, like other "things" we do with bits, is at the core of our contemporary societies. Digital technologies are usually thought of as the motor for innovation, economic development and social change, and the role of social sciences in this complex and dynamic panorama tends to be located in the analysis of the impact of these technologies in society.
However, digital culture also is about doing things in a particular way: participation, co-creativity, sharing and remixing are some of the key elements that, rooted in p2p production and free software practices, are shaping contemporary cultural production.
To explore this milieu, I propose to look at the 'Free Culture' movement in Barcelona. 'Free Culture' is a globally based internet movement inspired by Lawrence Lessig that advocates for the neutrality of the net and its basic structure (end-to-end and openness) as key principles for cultural creativity and innovation.
Free Culture mobilizes people in the 'creative class' and generates different local events, such as the annual Free Culture Forum, the Creative Commons Film Festival or the Mini Maker Faire in Barcelona, which attract participants all over Europe and abroad.
Instead of trying to understand this 'participatory culture' in terms of new hybrid figures or as a clash of 'grass-roots´ and 'market' models, I propose an ethnographic perspective that takes into account motivations, moral values and hopes that are put into play in and through their creative and sharing practices.
Finally, I connect these explorations with some reflections about the current debate in Europe around research innovation, digital media and citizen engagement."
Elisenda's main research lines are related with digital culture, visuality and media in everyday life. Currently, she is exploring creative processes and collaborative practices in digital media.

- How is memoir-writing different from genealogy?
Genealogy is a record of names, places and dates listed on a family tree. It involves research and the record produced shows ancestral descent. A personal history, on the other hand, may include a list of names and dates, since these can be an important starting point. Personal history (or lifewriting) seeks to tell the stories behind those names, places and dates, and in so doing, it brings a family tree to life.
Personal history could be thought of as the leaves, blossoms or fruit on your family tree.
What is personal history writing?
Personal history writing, also called lifewriting, is a form of modern history that is growing in popularity. It can take many forms: memoir, autobiography, oral history, community history, and corporate history, to name a few.
In a nutshell, personal history gives us the stories that come from real-life experience - whether glamorous and adventurous, or seemingly ordinary. At LifeGems Personal Histories, we do not believe that any life is truly ordinary; every life is filled with experiences, lessons and ethical perspectives that once shared, become a lasting impression of a unique lifetime.
There are many reasons that people want to leave a permanent record of personal or family history.
Recording our stories for those who follow — children, grandchildren and more importantly, generations beyond – gives those future generations the benefit of our experience. We can share with them in a most personal way the perspective we have gained over a lifetime and this in turn helps them to identify where they came from, as a starting point for where they want to go.
Personal history writing provides us with something for ourselves as well. It offers us vital opportunities to check our bearings, assess the direction of our lives and make adjustments. Or, if we like what we see ahead, then carry on with a renewed sense of purpose and vision.
Personal history writing is something we do for ourselves and also for every generation that follows.
- What is Corporate History?
Corporations have lives too! The founding of a successful business or organization requires vision, hard work and the ability to weather the many storms that threaten its health and longevity. For some, the establishment of their successful enterprise is a subject of tremendous pride, often seen as the crowning accomplishment of their lives.
Imagine the sense of pride and possibility for an organization which acknowledges its gratitude for an outgoing founder or CEO, with a book produced on their behalf, preserving the leader's vision. Such a record becomes an integral and vital part of the succession plan.
As an account of "how it was done", a corporate history guides the way forward with unsurpassed authority. As a reference tool, a corporate history can become a primary resource that will help to ensure the organization's success for many years to come. Contained within its pages is the distillation of hard-won lessons: stories of past challenges and how they were met and overcome; the risks that paid off and the wisdom gained from those that did not; and the keen insight that only hindsight offers.


text:
For rider's of a certain size, there is a great lack of variety in breeches that seems to occur in most brands once you reach a range of 32-34. Which, because we're equestrians means that if we're a size 30-32 we can be included in that market as well. Don't breeches always run on the slim side?
What's a "plus size" equestrian supposed to do? (I hate that term btw. I'll explain later.)
While Smart Pak is a reliable source of not only colorful but high quality "plus size breeches" it's really hard to find anything else that's not white, tan, black, or brown in any other brand. Right now Smart Pak has very smartly got the market cornered. Their main color options and interesting accents easily put them ahead of any other brand in terms of overall choice.
Dover Saddlery, arguably the largest and most well-known tack store in the country, rarely features a breech that is available in a size larger than 34 in their print catalog. If you search on their website for breeches larger than a size 34, there are 16 options between a 36-42. These are deceptively hard to find since if you go to the ladies breeches menu, you can't sort the options by size. What's up with that? I've went to the Dover website with credit card in hand only to find nothing in my size. This usually lead me back to Smart Pak (hint hint Dover). This really isn't Dover's fault since they carry other brands merchandise but still… don't you think it would be a good idea to increase your potential customer base by offering more options in more sizes?
So what else is out there?
I have recently found a company called Buckwild Breeches that offers, inventive, patterned breeches up to a size 40 with reasonable waistlines. Ladies, you know what I mean! Not everyone likes a low rise. I have to admit that I have a pair of their tan competition breeches and I love them! I almost got a pair of their tan breeches with a fox head seat too since Bubba's show name has Foxy in it and well… that's usually enough justification for an equestrian to buy horse stuff.
Two other options are Fuller Fillies and Curvy Fillies which are British and Irish brands respectively. They offer a variety of breeches in sizes for 'plus size' riders. Both of these brands are great options for complete outfits. For ladies with some more 'upper baggage' shirts and coats can be hard to come by.
Kerrits an American based brand, which I am a proud ambassador for, also offers what I call multi-size options in breathable high-quality fabrics in up to a Size XL. I love their breeches as well since they are usually pull on tights and, best of all, no zippers. As I've tried to stuff myself into 'normal sized' breeches that were clearly too small for me, I've become extremely paranoid about zippers coming down and buttons popping open.
Do you have any other favorite sources of "plus sized" breeches?
Now, time for my little tirade.
Plus sized equestrians are rarely, in my opinion truly plus sized. We're usually athletic and not the ultra slim, pre-teen equitation rider body type that has become such an unfortunate stereotype in the hunter world. Why can't we just be equestrians? There's enough divisiveness between disciplines so why do we need to split ourselves even further apart?
The fashion industry faces enormous amounts of scrutiny because of the way they portray body types. Lately, I am much more aware of inclusion efforts that are being publicly supported to show different versions of beauty. Why can't the equestrian world do the same?

The Toronto Raptors have waived Anthony Bennett after one year of service with the team. This is the second consecutive summer, Bennett is looking for a team to script a comeback.
The Canada native was the first overall pick in the NBA 2013 draft. The Brooklyn Nets have shown some interest in the forward. The Nets' new general manager Sean Marks made some bold moves in this free agency. Brooklyn added star point guard Jeremy Lin in free agency.
Bennett is trying to get his career back on track after featuring as a starter for the Canadian national team in the Olympic qualifiers, according to Sam Henken of ESPN. Canada has been just one win away from earning a berth in the Rio Olympics.

Prescription Bluegrass has heard from two sources that confirm the passing of another of the bluegrass family's beloved.
James Alan Shelton who was a fixture in Ralph Stanley's CLINCH MOUNTAIN BOYS has died at age 53. He had been suffering from cancer.
Nathan Stanley, grandson of the banjo pioneer Ralph Stanley posted the news on his social media page saying,
"My heart is very heavy right now... My friend James Alan Shelton passed away just a little while ago. Heaven has gained one of the finest Lead guitar Pickers that ever was. I sure do miss him. Please keep his wife Greta and his family in your prayers. RIP in my friend."
Born in Kingsport, TN and raised on a tobacco farm across the state line near Gate City, Virginia in the Yuma Community of Scott County, Shelton grew up steeped in the music of the Stanley Brothers, The Carter Family, Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe.
As a matter of fact, he was raised within about fifteen miles of the homeplace of A. P. Carter.
At age twelve, his maternal grandfather taught him his first licks on guitar and he also began learning the banjo a year later. Like many young guitar pickers, Shelton had become fascinated by the deceptively complex "cross-picking" guitar style developed by North Carolina native George Shuffler, who worked with the Stanley Brothers in the 1950's and 60's.
In contrast to some of his guitar peers who seemingly, at times, view the melody as "marker notes" to squeeze as many notes as possible between, Shelton's melody oriented playing emphasized his love and respect for the way a tune is supposed to sound. He also strove for a rich, full tone on his guitar. His main performing instruments were a 1946 D-28 Martin herringbone and a custom built "James Alan Shelton" signature series guitar built by Huss & Dalton Guitars in Staunton, Virginia.
Shelton was more than just a guitar player in Stanley's band. For years he was also the one who handled the band's business affairs. When the group sought the services of outside booking agencies, Shelton continued as the road manager, and ambassador for the band both at home and abroad.
Shelton had been suffering from cancer and posted an update to his friends early last month saying that a PET scan revealed a mass in the pancreas and one in the bowels, both of which they were previously unaware. In addition it had also spread to the liver. All were cancerous and in Stage 4. He also said he was told his life expectancy would be another 18-24 months.

Laws and Penalties: Concerns over growing illegal AAS abuse by teenagers, and many of the just discussed long-term effects, led Congress in 1991 to place the whole AAS class of drugs into Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Under this legislation, AAS are defined as any drug or hormonal substance, chemically and pharmacologically related to T (other than estrogens, progestins, and corticosteroids) that promotes muscle growth. The possession or sale of AAS without a valid prescription is illegal. Since 1991, simple possession of illegally obtained AAS carry a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a minimum $1,000 fine if this is an individual's first drug offense. The maximum penalty for trafficking (selling or possessing enough to be suspected of selling) is five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 if this is the individual's first felony drug offense. If this is the second felony drug offense, the maximum period of imprisonment and the maximum fine both double. While the above listed penalties are for federal offenses, individual states have also implemented fines and penalties for illegal use of AAS. State executive offices have also recognized the seriousness of AAS abuse and other drugs of abuse in schools. For example, the State of Virginia enacted a law that will allow student drug testing as a legitimate school drug prevention program (48, 49).
The number of players who have admitted using steroids in a confidential survey conducted by the NCAA since the 1980s has dropped from percent in 1989 to percent in 2003. [5] During the 2003 season, there were over 7,000 drug tests, with just 77 turning up as positive test results. [5] Scukanec claims that methods were used to get around the drug testing, whether it be avoiding the tests by using the drugs during the off-season, or flushing the drugs out of your system. This was used with a liquid he referred to as the "pink." [5] He stated:

School's drug testing policy begins implementation
If you are the parent of a child in grades 7 - 12 at Gothenburg Public Schools, chances are you were presented with a new form to sign last week. Last month the GPS Board of Education approved a policy to enforce mandatory drug and alcohol testing on certain students, and this week parents got their first look at the consent forms resulting from that policy.
The testing pool will include students in grades 7-12 participating in any activity in which there is a competition with other schools. This includes academic components such as art, band, choir, ag and quiz bowl. The district has budgeted about $10,000 for the program, based on comparisons to schools of similar size who have already implemented the testing.To read more, see this week's print or e-dition.

[…] developed into a sort of slideshow of images and sound, a couple of […]
One point you mentioned that didn't get aired how to define and understand the term podcast. I'd love the chance to have a little back and forth on that one of these days. It is certainly a topic I've spent too much time thinking about over the past nine years.
Also, thanks for the AudioBoo tip. I knew there had to be a way link to the actual file. Never realized it was so obvious.
I'm gonna feature this one a LoDown soon.
Keep up the great work.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line as we start the fifth and final year of our CVA. I can't believe just how quickly the time has gone, which is clearly a sign of old age or we are enjoying the business again. We have had some good years in 2010,11, 12 and 2013, always making the CVA payments and the Bank Loan as well.
This February I did ask Eric Walls if we could extend the CVA payment period to eighteen months for Year 5 which he agreed to which has helped a lot with the cash flow, so now only 12 payments to go. The company is now very different, staff levels are reduced down to seven and we moved to offices in Andover, so a much reduced turnover but a significant surplus.
We still have a bit to go, but I would say the concept of a CVA has allowed us to continue in business, the relationship with those creditors who we still deal with has been good.
So my thanks again for your wonderful guidance in the three months leading to the official CVA starting in July 2009, we were at a very scary place emotionally having endured about a year of things going from bad to worse , so I am so grateful for your wonderful support and the KSA team. Hugh Gabriel, who was our first point of contact spent a couple of hours going through all the options in a clear concise way, which then allowed us to make the right decision.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year,
Kindest wishes.....
I just wanted to write to you to say a sincere thanks for the work that you have done for us. Without doubt, we would have gone bust if it wasn't for your advice, actions, guidance and experience. As a result of the CVA being approved we now can continue to trade in a new form of business.
Your help has ensured the continued employment of 16 people, whom should all be very grateful to you.
We still have the actual hive down to do, which is being discussed internally and with the bank at the moment, but there is definitely a strong sense that the whole process is coming to a close.
The good news is that January and February look to be fairly high profit months for us – a real return to form which was seriously lacking last year. I think this has something to do with the fact that I'm back earning again rather than 'rescuing' the business, but mainly because of a general surge in our client base spending money. We hope we can keep this up, but now know that with our tight costs control and reduction in fixed costs it's not a major issue any more if work just 'dribbles' in the door. Either way, our business model is very different but much more robust and will remain that way.
So from ******, thanks for all your hard work and for ultimately saving our business.
I have worked with Keith on a number of CVA cases during the past few years. Keith works with the client's best interest at the fore - he is extremely knowledgable and his expertise and success rate in turn around situations is without question. Keith has the support of a very skilled and professional team who have enjoyed a very high success rate with CVAs. I have enjoyed first hand experience of a company being rescued at the '11th' hour by Keith and his team to offer them the opportunity to survive and ultimately prosper."

Give Yourself a Break
Philippians 1:6….he who began a good work in you
If you find it difficult to like yourself, you are not alone. I struggled with self-rejection during much of my life and I have discovered many others also struggle with the same thing. However, that is not God's plan. He does not want you to feel afraid and insecure…..or to be consumed with achieving perfection in hopes of being considered valuable.
God is the only one who can perfect the good work He has started in your life, but it takes some time. In addition, during the process, He wants you to recognize you are making progress. So give yourself a break and say, "I'm okay and I'm on my way!
Lighten Up
Proverbs …Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad.
If you struggle with anxiety, you know about the uneasiness, worry, and feeling of heaviness that comes with it. Often it is a general feeling of fear that has no specific cause or source.
Many serious things are going on in the world and you need to be aware of them and prepare for them. But, you also need to learn to relax and take things as they come without getting all nervous and upset.
You need to learn how to enjoy the good life God has provided for you through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ (see John ). So the next time you are tempted to become anxious or upset, think about what you are doing, and find something to be happy about. Have a talk with yourself about all the good things God has done in your life.

Phone Casino Withdrawal
- Using the technology gives an assurance of a secure transaction since a confirmation message is sent to your phone that is a testament to a completed transaction
- Phone casino withdrawal is private and confidential. As the gamer, you hold the discretion of all the online casino activities that happen with your casino account. Through your phone, you get a real-time progress of your stakes and the potential wins that you expect from the game
- The mobile withdrawal mechanism is one of the safest modes of online transactions. It comes with the provision that there exists no connection between your phone and any bank account. In a case where hacking of bank accounts happens, your finances are safe and as the hackers can never intercept any financial data. It then follows that using the phone serves as a precautionary measure against elements of fraud that mostly happens with electronic money
- When you employ the services of your phone for casino withdrawal services, there is a guarantee that you can easily multitask as you process your payment for withdrawal
- It has also enhanced the ease of getting your cash. You can quickly place your stakes and claim your bonuses and wins right at the comfort of your phone. It means that there is minimal time and effort used in moving to your respective banks for withdrawal or even ordering for payment
- Additionally, nothing beats the allure and excitement that follows with the realization that your financial information pertaining your stakes is only limited to you instead of the long bank receipts. That level of confidentiality makes the whole process exciting and makes you self-fulfilled
Using phone casino withdrawal has revolutionized the world of gambling and its consequent interaction. Not only does the phone withdrawal interface prove interactive and friendly to use but also presents one of the most sophisticated works of technological advancement. Right in your hands, you can place your stakes and receive real money via the same medium. It even proves flexible to use since contrary to your bulky computers and laptops; you can carry your phone anywhere anytime.
Just like any other gadget, mobile phones use during withdrawals has various limitations and concerns that must be addressed beforehand before any withdrawal service can be executed. In all these engagements, using phones proves efficient and reliable while using in choosing a slot game and when certain conditions are adequately met.
Setting a Potluck
Most online casino players have these special arrangements notably referred to as potluck. Taking a potluck in gambling is a measure that most players have perfected over time to increase the chances of winning part and enjoying their small proceeds but in a big way.
Having a Bonus Threshold
Making withdrawals becomes complicated whenever a player sets a bonus threshold in the gaming spree. It means that the player sets a minimum target that failure to reach renders you unqualified for making any form of cash withdrawal. The provision becomes easier for gamers who use the mobile phone platform for their gaming experience. It becomes easier for you to lock your proceeds from withdrawal with a customizable app that enables you as the player to take control of their stakes, bonuses, and winnings.
Security Checks
At the verge of any withdrawal task, a credible online casino has security checks and measures in place that cushion against any malicious activity that may happen within the system. Fundamentally, the phone casino withdrawing platform ensures that you have to verify that you are the one trying to initiate a withdrawal. The withdrawal activity kicks off by asking for your credentials which are log in details, that when found correct; you then advance to the next stage of this exercise. It is also noteworthy that the gaming site retains the monopoly of employing third-party firms that verify your details such as payment information, age and even your identity. The phone withdrawal system also involves an initiative of recording and even verifying all info. It then means that the agencies and the online casino may use your information when there is a dire need for use, especially in matters evoking contention. Such cases of dispute may include instances of hacking, impersonation or any other form of fraud that a third party may try committing against your knowledge.
Using Phone Bills
Phone bills have become a viable method of making deposits courtesy of the speed, safety and the flexibility that comes with using this technique. In cases where the payment option is used for top online casino sites, you get an assurance that your chances of getting more bonuses from this deliverable are high. On the downside, most banking institutions in the United Kingdom (UK) have placed sanctions on withdrawals activities. The problems emanate from a technical perspective where mobile service providers are yet to enable a two-way configuration system. It means that when a customer free deposits on online casino company, they can still make withdrawals through their phone bills since, in either way, it is the same entity making the withdrawal request.
Despite the challenge that comes with the failure of phone billing in requesting payments, the service providers have enabled other payment system that enables reliable withdrawal mechanism for the users of mobile phone casino.
Using Credit Cards
They have remained the most secure and reliable cash transfer and payment systems in the financial transactions industry. One is due to their improved security over the years through their advanced online security systems. Using Master and Visa Cards, phone withdrawal activities are easier since the payment system can be synced with the mobile phone to enable safer and faster transaction of funds from your casino account to your bank account. The only requirement for allowing this transaction is the submission of your credentials, which facilitate withdrawal of funds upon verification from the other end of the bank. Contrary to the higher charges that the phone bill users face on most occasions, the credit card has minimal fees of up to £ 30 when making withdrawals. It has since made many gamers resort to the platform that they have a guarantee of minimum costs incurred in actualizing their payments.
Using PayPal
Another e-wallet payment system is the most popular and globally acclaimed PayPal. It represents one of the most viable options when it comes to making withdrawals through your mobile. Using PayPal is relatively easy as it is mobile-friendly and has an interactive user interface. Once you sign up as a PayPal user, you can be able to both send and even receive payments via this platform. Apart from being an internationally recognized payment medium, it has the most secure system for an e-wallet pay-out option. One of the fundamental requirements before making any transaction is the proof of the origin of your funds. Once it passes this legitimacy test, you have an assurance that your money is safe and ready for withdrawal at your convenience.
In conclusion, it is always an exciting experience when a player follows the progress of the stakes that one places in a game and at the same time do other things on the phone. The phone casino withdrawal system is, therefore, proof that despite the size of the gadget, one can still access funds at their convenience. Since it always the desire of most gamers to access their funds after winning a jackpot, for instance, the payment systems only require a viable verification of the users before any form of withdrawal activity can be executed in the casino platform. The sites in most cases try adhering to strict measures of user verification through activities such as recording conversations, accessing their user details such as accounts and identity details. In all these steps, mobile phone withdrawals remain flexible, fast and secure courtesy of the viable payments options that exist in place. In the failure of phone bills in making withdrawals, payment options such as PayPal and credit cards remain the ultimate withdrawal options.

Tuesday April 4, 2017 - The MD & CEO of the Geothermal Development Company, Eng. Johnson P. Ole Nchoe, has donated assorted foodstuff to the Ol Rongai Community living near the Menengai Geothermal Project. GDC donated 160 bags of maize, 40 bags of beans, 600 litres of oil and 380 packets of salt.
"GDC values the cordial relationship that we have enjoyed with the Menengai community over the years and we have decided to show our solidarity during their time of need," said the MD & CEO Eng. Johnson Ole Nchoe while flagging off the GDC Jirani-wa-Karibu food drive at the Ol Rongai Centre.
The area MP Hon. Raymond Moi thanked GDC for the kind gesture and promised GDC that the Ol Rongai Community will continue to support the Menengai project. "Thank you for the kind gesture; as the Rongai member of the National Assembly, I appreciate what GDC has done for our community."
In addition to the food assistance, GDC donated Kshs. 500,000.00 to Ol Rongai Secondary School for the completion of a girls' dormitory. On receiving the good news, the headmistress of the school noted that the completion of the dormitory will increase the boarding capacity of the school allowing more girls to board in the school. "In the recent past we have had more 10 girls drop out of school due to early pregnancy; we believe having them board in school will change the situation," noted the headmistress.
Recently, GDC donated another 160 bags of maize, 40 bags of beans, 600 litres of cooking oil and 380 packets of salt to the Bahati Constituency community who are also living near the Menengai project. Hon. Kimani Ngunjiri, the area Member of the National Assembly also attended the event and thanked GDC for its generosity over the years.
The Menengai Geothermal Project is one of the three major projects being undertaken by the Geothermal Development Company. In the next 10 years GDC plans to develop 400MW of geothermal power from Menengai. The other two projects include the Baringo-Silali project which is targeting 300MW in the next 10 years and the Suswa projects that plans to generate 300MW in 10 years.
In Menengai, GDC has contracted three independent power producers through a competitive international open tender to develop 105MW of geothermal power. Each of the three contracted firms will build and operate a 35MW geothermal power plant for 25 years. Once the 105MW power plants are commissioned, GDC will be earning about Kshs 1.7 Billion in annual steam sales revenue. Ground breaking ceremony for the 105MW power plants is planned to take place before the close of the 2016/17 financial year.
Following a steam sales agreement signed in 2014 between GDC and with KenGen for the sale of steam from GDC's 59 wells in Olkaria, GDC is already earning Kshs. 3 billion from the sale of the 320MW of steam in Olkaria to KenGen. The GDC steam is used to run two new power plants and several wellhead at Olkaria.
GDC, a wholly government-owned company, was established in 2008 as a special purpose vehicle to tale up upfront risks associated with the development of geothermal resources and by so doing accelerate the generation of electricity from geothermal resources in Kenya.

A former Auschwitz guard has been jailed for five years at the age of 94
A 94-year-old former SS sergeant who served as a guard at Auschwitz has been found guilty of more than 170,000 counts of accessory to murder.
Reinhold Hanning was sentenced to five years in prison by the Detmold state court, though he will remain free while any appeals are heard.
During his four-month trial, Hanning admitted serving as an Auschwitz guard. He said he was ashamed that he was aware Jews were being killed but did nothing to try to stop it.
He had faced a maximum of 15 years.
Hanning's defence had called for an acquittal, saying there is no evidence he killed or beat anyone, while prosecutors sought a six-year sentence.
He said during his trial that he volunteered for the SS when he was 18 and served in Auschwitz from January 1942 to June 1944 but said he was not involved in the killings in the camp.
"It disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organisation," he told the court in April. "I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it and I apologise for my actions."
Despite his age, Hanning has seemed alert during the four-month trial, paying attention to evidence and occasionally walking into the courtroom on his own, though usually using a wheelchair.
Several equally elderly Auschwitz survivors gave evidence at the trial about their own experiences, and were among about 40 survivors or their families who joined the process as co-plaintiffs as allowed under German law.
Leon Schwarzbaum, a 95-year-old Auschwitz survivor from Berlin who was used as slave labourer to help build a factory for Siemens outside the camp, told the court at the start of the trial that he regularly saw flames from the chimneys of the Auschwitz crematoria.
"So much fire came out of the chimneys, no smoke, just fire," he told the court. "And that was burning people."
Schwarzbaum later said he does not want Hanning to go to prison and is happy that he apologised, but had hoped that he would have provided more details about his time in Auschwitz for the sake of educating younger generations.
"The historical truth is important," Schwarzbaum said.

I can rack up with synth gear but I'm still a pianist at heart. The Korg SQ-1 sequencer has a number of different modes, influencing the order and values passed. But what I've realized is that at any point, I can play a key and adjust the sequence....it will start up again at the immediate next step as soon as I release the key. I also realized that if I don't have the sequence playing at all, but the sequencer turned on, I can 'play' any of the sequenced steps in whatever pattern I choose....kind of like a button accordion at that point.
I'm also enjoying being really conscious of the monophonic nature of these synths, and working with that to create sets.

Honestly the reason I made this video is because it has been a month since I got out on a Sunday morning to record around town and I knew we'd be traveling again this weekend. But necessity is the mother of good stuff and once I decided to set up and record, I knew it would be an interesting episode.

I'm always surprised when I notice some sound that is really compelling, but that I was totally ignoring. There's a vent behind my desk at work that periodically starts to self-resonate. I can go days without noticing, but listen to it....I'd be hard-pressed to create a rhythm that was this absorbing even with my stack of electronic gear.
("no mod" refers to "no modification"....I have a series of field recordings on the 'video' link that start with a short recording of a day to day scene and then I gradually introduce modified sounds to the mix. This is pure Heater Vent.)

Many don't realize, as I didn't, the power of the people around us and how the World truly is your oyster.
Now…when I say around us, I don't mean in our neighborhood, city, state or even country. I am talking about the other 195 countries surrounding us. That's right…195 different countries with a combined 7 BILLION people looking for something you and I have.
I just returned home from a life changing trip to S.E. Asia when It dawned on me. In my 22 years of marketing, I have only scratched the surface of what is out there. I have limited myself and in turn kept my income and possibilities at a much lower level than I should have.
When entering an auditorium of over 4,000 excited people from a third world country all there to hear from me and about my opportunity, a light bulb finally lit up. I quickly realized there are so many around the world in need…yes…need of what you and I have. Are they willing to work for it, fight for it, and then thank us for it? YOU HAD BETTER BELIEVE IT! Fear of the unknown kept me from going global. The fear I have now…is that you are not passing this to everyone you know to share this awakening I have experienced. Remember, we are now a world based around technology. The same technology that we use to share a picture, experience, or favorite quote can now be used to spread the word of your favorite business. This is the same technology that now allows each of us to connect with million dollar producers that, before, were untouchables. A simple "hello" on Facebook, or a tweet on Twitter, can open the doors to limitless opportunity and financial gains for us all.
When I spoke on stage this past week in front of those 4,000+ eager, willing and excited people I was jolted by a dream I had had 34 years earlier when I was only 10 years old. Minutes before being introduced, I knew it was important to share this story on stage with these strangers to show them that the path I was on, as we all are, is always the right path.
Now this was a chance I took. You see, I typically stay on course with a speech and have a topic that I stick with, but I knew tonight would have to be different.
As I told my story at the end of my speech I closed with the story of my dream. Within that dream I paced back and forth from side to side on a stage much like the one I was on and just as I was doing at that very moment. I then told them I remember speaking from my heart with passion and conviction…non scripted. I remember looking out into the audience of thousands of people and knowing this was my destiny. I remember knowing that what I spoke on, and who I spoke to was not yet revealed to me at the tender age of 10. Something surprising, exciting and awakening to me was that the crowd of thousand would consist primarily of beautiful Asian faces smiling back at me. Yes…this was the dream I had had 34 years ago, finally coming to fruition! This had been the moment I longed for but never thought I would reach nor knew I was destined to reach. The power of the dream, the reality, and the conclusion was that it all happened in a far away country on the other side of the world. A country I had never visited nor thought of visiting. This was just another stepping stone in life that made me realize, once again, that I was on the right path in life. The path made for me, just like each of you have a path cut out just for you.
Why marry international markets and growth with a dream from when I was 10? Very simple. Your market is not just your city, state or country. With technology so easy to use, that our parents and grandparents are now able to surf the web, just know that any of your dreams, regardless of their extremity, can be attained.
The purpose of this blog today is simple. I want you to know that your dream may be so large and so far away that you feel you could never reach it in this lifetime. I am hear to tell you…you can and you will, if you believe.
The World is so vast and in such distress that millions are in need of what you have to offer. Sure you neighbors and family are important, but so are the the families living in third world countries like the one I was so blessed to just visit. Your dream may be so foolish and extreme that you are scared to share it, but know this…for 34 years I kept my secret dream alive within myself to one day finally release it on a stage to thousands of strangers. Believe, never set limits, or short yourself on your goals.
You are worth whatever it is you are after and you will receive it if you believe it, but more importantly, if it is meant to be. Never allow anyone to steal your dream. Even if it does not turn out the way you expected, trust me when I tell you, it will turn out better.
Life is short, live everyday with passion and tell the ones that mean the world to you how much you love them.
Cheers! ~ Eric Caprarese

By waving through BT's takeover of EE, the government's competition watchdog has again put corporate interests ahead of the public interest.
Category Archive: The business end
The pink pages: firms, organisations and markets
Innovation, productivity and growth have slowed down since the 1970s. Our global, free-market economy isn't as dynamic and entrepreneurial as we're lead to believe.
The public sector is expected to innovate and reform in response to failure. But however badly or frequently they fail, the basic model for private sector firms has stayed unreformed for 300 years.
Many British firms are just investment vehicles with nothing inside. Maximising profits alone cannot provide businesses or anyone else with a meaningful purpose.
Merger mania may excite senior managers and speculators but it isn't good news for firms or the economy in the long run. This conflict between individual and collective good is as old as economics itself.

Cut QualityDiamonds of premium cut are almost as good as ideal. While nature determines the color and clarity of a stone, diamond cut is dependent solely upon the skill of the cutter. Premium cut diamonds may be close to the ideal cut proportions and look just identical. Most people cannot distinguish between the two. However, there is a slight difference in quality and reduction in price over ideal cut diamonds.
ColorDiamonds of G color are nearly colorless. G color diamonds may have a slight yellowish tint when viewed against white flat background. When set in platinum or white gold jewelry the presence of color will not be noticeable which makes diamonds in this color grade very popular.
ClarityVVS1 diamonds have extremely small inclusions, completely invisible to the naked eye. Typically under strong magnification such inclusions appear as minute white dots and are difficult to spot. VVS1 category diamonds are the perfect choice for people looking for perfection and purity.

Submitted by Clubsguide on June 26th 2012
Off the back of 2 huge live shows at Coachella this year, Canadian pop royalty Dragonette prepare for the release of their third album 'Bodyparts' with the release of the first single: 'Let it Go.'
Proving once and for all what die hard fans have known since 2005 – that together they are so much more than the sum of their separate parts: Dan Kurtz and Martina Sorbara are married, songwriters, business partners, best-frenemies, co-conspirators, hometown sweethearts and a mass of cultural contradictions all rolled into a single tasty, tangy pop package - who glow with a combined energy that's both forward-looking and nostalgic, homely and cutting-edge. Drummer Joel Stouffer fits into, and adds to, this energy perfectly.
Already lighting up the blogs, the original version of 'Let it Go' and the Laidback Luke Remix both went to the #1 spot on Hype Machine, making for the band's eleventh straight #1. While Martina's unique vocal will be familiar to anyone who loved the Martin Solveig collaboration – 'Hello,' the pulsing beat and easy, energetic melody of 'Let it Go' are distinctly Dragonette.
A straight up anthem with 'hands-in-the-air' verses and a fist-pumping chorus – 'Let it Go' has had recent support & spins by BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac.
Check out this pumping performance from Martina with Martin Solveig at Coachella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0OopRQb7Q4&feature=related

Timing Is Everything......in Dating
Play the Numbers, Make It Work For You.
Yes, I learned this lesson the hard way, several times. Finally sunk in.One example is my experience in the Christmas Tree Lot business one season. Learned that after the 20th selling any Christmas trees still in stock was very difficult no matter how discounted you sold them. Then I learned that the 24th on if your really worked at it you could get some taken away for free..... On the 25th, you could not even give them away, there on you had to PAY to have them take them away, big time.
Another experience related, in northern Midwest, the first of August, several people wanted to buy my motorcycle apparently to go to the Sturgis Rally, and made some big offers.I turned them down and tried to sell it in September, Nobody wanted to buy it with the winter season coming on and I got about half for it that I would have gotten for it when in big demand season, only a short time back.
You are in the same position in dating, and your marketability (demand) is dependant not as much on you, as on your timing, and being in the right place at the right time.You may be at a big social function where there are a lot of opposite sex "unmarried" attractive prospects and none seem interested in you at all. Turns out they are all involved or working on getting involved with some one else there today.
Next weeks meeting you skip because this seems to be a waste of time for meeting significant others from your experience.Bad decision, the next week several big "just right" prospects are no longer involved in trying to get something going with several other attendees that just did not work out that they had in their sights last week.
Now they are "available" would be interested in getting to know you but you are not there. Last week was just "bad" December 26th Christmas tree timing.
Watch your dog... they will go thru the group and seek some attention and pets.Only a couple will give them some attention and pets. Next week the dog will try everyone again, not hold any grudges that you weren't interested last week and try you again.
In contrast you wont try to get something going with certain people this week because they were not much interested last week. The TIMING is different this week and a lot has changed.
Dr. Bach, who wrote several relationship books, told me that he had his college students interview people in what they considered "big relationships" and that 80% of them told his interviewers that they had no interest in each other the first time they met.
One of the reasons for this may have been "timing'. That each or at least one of you (or both at time of first meeting) had something else (other prospect) (or relationship going) on the front burner.
Later, often much later, when both of you have nothing on the front burner you can and likely "click". Nothing much different, just timing.
Problem is you wont try again because you have already "been rejected' by that person.You need to keep letting them know you are still interested, and one day the "timing may be right".
