WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 3 June 2015 — Ace Hardware ranks highest in customer satisfaction with home improvement retailers for a ninth consecutive year, according to the J.D. Power 2015 Home Improvement Retailer Satisfaction StudySM released today.
The study measures customer satisfaction with home improvement retailers by examining five factors (in alphabetical order): merchandise; price; sales and promotions; staff and service; and store facility. Satisfaction is measured on a 1,000-point scale.
Nearly one-fourth (24%) of customers indicate they shop one home improvement retailer exclusively, and 84 percent of those customers shop at only one location. Notably, satisfaction among customers who shop one retailer exclusively is significantly higher than among those who shop multiple retailers (803 vs. 785, respectively). Retailers can remain competitive and increase their share of wallet by converting customers who shop multiple stores into customers who shop exclusively at their store.
Satisfaction can lead to loyalty. Nearly half (46%) of customers who shop one retailer "definitely will" make their next home improvement purchase at that same retailer, and a similar proportion (47%) say they "definitely will" recommend that retailer.
"As retailers fight for a larger share of wallet, customer service and offerings become critical in differentiating their brand to capture more customers and spend," said Christina Cooley, director of home improvement industries at J.D. Power. "The retailers that best align their resources and investments to helping customers be successful in their home improvement projects will continue to build a delighted and loyal customer base."
Home Improvement Retailer Satisfaction Rankings
- Ace Hardware (807) ranks highest in customer satisfaction among home improvement retailers for a ninth consecutive year and performs particularly well in staff and service and store facility.
- Lowe's (801) ranks second and Menards (792) ranks third.
The 2015 Home Improvement Retailer Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 2,994 customers who purchased home improvement-related products from a home improvement retailer within the previous 12 months. The study was fielded in January and February 2015. For more information about J.D. Power solutions for the home improvement industry: http://www.jdpower.com/industry/home-improvement

Rench has been creatively breaking the boundaries between America's top two genres since the turn of the millennium. His twangy, funky, irresistible mix is proven to raise eyebrows and open minds in a big way, most notably with his project Gangstagrass and the Emmy nominated theme song to the hit FX Network show "Justified." Now that he's toured the world with the groundbreaking bluegrass-hip-hop group he founded, Rench pushes the envelope again with a solo album that completely reimagines Americana from the ground up.
This full length album due April 7, 2017, showcases an eclectic honky-tonk "bang and twang" sound. His uniquely broad and deep recipe brings together a rich tapestry of American styles. In "Them's The Breaks", Rench presents a masterful treatise that ties the sincerity and plaintiveness of classic honky-tonk with a hipster's facility with irony and post-modern reference. It pulls in heavy beat samples and turntable scratching, twangy steel guitar, swampy delta blues, and contemplative folky understatement, and somehow it just works. This is a cosmopolitan incorporation of the best of America's populist musical traditions, where the outlaw gunslinger is at home as a figure in the music of Bakersfield or the music of Bed-Stuy, and Rench's take will provoke thought while getting your head bobbing.
This solo project highlights three up and coming vocalists. Amanda Neill (on Milwaukee Honeymoon, Forty Dollar Dress, and I Hope You Sing When I Die), Mamie Minch (Shootout) and Jessica Basta ( Hey Rattler).
From the turntable scratching pedal steel guitar sounds on 'The Dust Up', and beatboxing through the harmonica on 'Boomerang'."
The fingerprints of 70's honky-tonk are all over the album, with heavy use of pedal steel guitar and Wurlitzer piano. But these adorn a collection of unmistakably twenty-first century songs. The songwriting brings the honky-tonk themes of outlaws and truckers into Brooklyn's hipster bars and b-boy street corners, paired with the sampled beats of a producer who grew up in the age of hip-hop. What better way to embody Americana than to truly incorporate such quintessential influences as folk, country, soul, and hip-hop?
February 23rd, The hilarious video for his new single "Mugshot", is part of the wave of sharing that will be unleashed by Thunderclap the day it goes live. By supporting the movement, fans will be part of the premiere announcement the moment it goes live and on the cutting edge of this new release as it makes its first step into the public.

Director: James Gray
Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson & Sienna Miller
Synopsis: A true-life drama, centering on British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett, who disappeared while searching for a mysterious city in the Amazon in the 1920s.
Rating: 15 Duration: 140 minutes Release date: 24 July (UK)
The issue that many true stories face when they are adapted for the big screen is that they can be very dull. That particular fate befalls The Lost City of Z and what should be a film full of adventure and daring is instead a drab affair lacking excitement or thrills.
The story of Percy Fawcett's (Hunnam) exploration of the Amazon basin is as interesting as it is important and proves a story worth telling on the big screen. Battling both his fellow man and the scientific elite of the Royal Geographical Society, Fawcett returns to the jungle on several occasions in order to find the fateful lost city and to restore his family name to the prestige it once had. It's a very noble story and one that in the right hands would be a grand cinematic piece, unfortunately The Lost City of Z captivates only in its cinematography. A truly wonderful film to look at, but failing to capture the audience in any sort of stimulating way means it all passes by in all too sedate manner.
Charlie Hunnam's Fawcett is an interesting character to portray, but Hunnam struggles with some of the meatier parts of the film. Hunnam, talented as he is, is dealt a blow by a film that swaps fun for solemn and a script that feels more like walking through mud after seven pints on a Friday night. It would be unfair to say any of this is Hunnams fault and what he does is deliver a strong performance with the right dash of charisma making more of the role than was perhaps granted to him at first. Robert Pattinson as Henry Costin, proves a worthy aid to both Hunnam and Fawcett and his understated performance is a blessing in an otherwise barren film.
Director James Gray has shown previous for this type of film in his other efforts, in particular The Yards and We Own the Night. Both those films, much like The Lost City of Z, have cast strong male leads with more than their fair share of faults but have also been monotonous efforts. There are interesting ideas threatening to breakout here and one considers Gray to be a fan of patient build-up, but Gray stretches things to the limit with a run time nearing two and a half hours. Maybe I protest too much and a film such as this deserves the time to tell a story so elegant, but the argument can easily be made that a little more artistic license would have resulted in a far more entertaining film, instead of the Wikipedia dry narration we are force-fed here.

- Behind the scenes
- Interviews with James Gray and Sienna Miller
- Percy Fawcett featurette

The organic and non-GMO movement has gained serious momentum over the past few years, and the change comes at a crucial time: pollinators such as bees and monarch butterflies are in peril, as their habitats and food sources are being destroyed by chemical-intensive agriculture.
The movement to save the bees has long been raging in Europe, as bans have been instituted on the pesticides and several countries have instituted GMO bans.
Meanwhile in the United States, the movement has yet to see actions match words at a similar level. But now, one of the country's biggest organic retailers is taking a stand for the bees, and against the pesticides that kill them.
Costco launches policy to protect pollinators
A 2016 policy release, entitled "Costco Wholesale's Live Goods Policy To Protect Pollinator Health," the retail giant stated:
Costco Wholesale understands that the honey bee population is declining and these bees are necessary for the life cycles of people, plants and the food we consume. We have invested in a multi-year research project to improve honey bee health and sustainability and are committed to following the continuing research, developments surrounding bee colony collapse and other areas of environmental concern. We are also committed to business practices that support the growth and sustainability of bees and other pollinators.
Costco's policy also encourages their suppliers to use eco-friendly methods of pest or disease control when producing goods for their company, as well as minimizing the use of all non-essential chemicals. The retail giant is also mandating that the application of any chemicals must be done in strict accordance with all local and federal laws and regulations.
Costco is also heartily discouraging the use of neonicotinoids, particularly on plants where bees are considered to be primary pollinators, or on plants that are known to attract bees.
Waking Times reports that, "The policy follows on the heel of an announcement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to 'mitigate the acute risks to bees from pesticide products.'"
Between its 705 stores across the world and yearly sales totaling upwards of $120 billion, Costco is in a remarkable position to assist lead a massive motion against the use of these hazardous products. Offered the destructive decrease of bee populations (which continue to diminish), it is definitely essential that we start to end using hazardous pesticides and other such chemicals.
Recently, the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered types list. Twenty years ago, the rusty patched bumblebee was a common types. It is now the very first bee in the contiguous 48 states to have actually been proposed for threatened types status, however there are grave issues that it won't be the last.
Dangers of neonicotinoids
Neonicotinoids, or neonics for short, are a popular class of insecticides. Research study continues to show, however, that these insecticides don't just harm the designated species of pests – they are likewise hazardous to bees and other pollinator types.
Scientists from Mainz University Medical Center and Goethe University Frankfurt just recently found that even low, field-relevant doses of neonics are undoubtedly damaging to bees. Their research study was published by the esteemed journal, PLOS One in 2016. They discovered that even small amounts of neonics can negatively impact acetylcholine levels in developing bee larvae. This can have a severe affect on the bees' future advancement. Bigger quantities were associated with more significant effects.
Teacher Ignaz Wessler, one of the study's lead authors, commented, "Our research results thus confirm that the neonicotinoids can jeopardize the typical advancement of honeybee larvae."
Back in 2013, the EU came to a similar conclusion– triggering them to position momentary limitations on three popular neonicotinoid insecticides; imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam.
Several clinical publications have shown that non-lethal quantities of neonics could extremely well be related to the dramatic decrease in bee populations. Problems in reproducing and impaired flight orientation have actually likewise been reported.

DSM's additions to the 7 core principles of Leave No Trace. Deep South Mountaineering is founded by Leave no Trace Trainers and Wilderness Ranger and is dedicated to sustainable recreation practices that best care for the land. We are happy to be a small business partner of Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
Plan ahead and Prepare
-Learn about area specific regulations and permits. Bring proper equipment and seek out education to make sure you can handle the challenges you will face in the wild.
-Research the trees in the area to guess strap lengths to fit with trees. Are there trees?
-Check the weather, bugs, nearest hospital, get a map, and sharables (delicious treats to share with your friends/new friends; candy, wine, sandwiches, hot coco).
Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
-Try to use trees over 6 inches in diameter. These trees are generally more mature, stronger and can more easily take the pressure of straps without long term damage.
-Always inspect trees for good health/solid structure before getting in your hang. Avoid hanging on dead trees and below dead limbs in trees.
-Try to find open hang spots where you don't have to disturb other plants and trees. Try not to brake branches or hurt vegetation to give you a more open area.
-Always inspect the area above your hammock-site for dead limbs that could possibly fall. Inspect the health of your trees you intend to use for your hang and the surrounding trees.
-Be mindful of the vegetation below your hang and how your trampling affects it
-Do not floss or rub the tree excessively with strap suspension system. Flossing can damage the bark, creating abrasions that are unsightly and may lead to more serious problems with the tree.
-Try to use webbing rather than rope for your suspension system. The smaller surface area of the rope can cut more noticeably into the bark.
Dispose of Waste Properly
–Stick to the Better Pooping Practices
-200 feet from water keeps the stream safe to drink.
-Shoot to bring out MORE than you brought in. See an extra piece of trash and your bags already open? Toss it in, and thank yourself for me.
-Burning trash is not a proper way to dispose of waste.
Leave what you find
-It's tempting to pick flowers or collect Arrowheads, but what sits on your mantle gathers dust while what blossoms on public land can be enjoyed by all.
-Take only pictures and memories please whenever possible.
Minimize Campfire Impacts
-Fires are spectacular and so are small fires. Try to think closer to finger sized wood than logs if it's just for fun.
-Try not to travel with wood. You could transfer seeds or pests of invasive species that could wreak havoc on native ecosystems.
-If an area does not allow fires it is probably with VERY good reason. Soil, trees, ground wood, can years to regenerate after catastrophic events and fire can continue oppression of a resource in recovery.
Respect Wildlife
-Proper food storage is the highest priority. People food is wonderfully calories dense and delicious. Ever taste a wild animal has changes its focus towards your snacks and away from its natural food chain. Than when the animal gets too friendly it has to be removed. A Fed Bear is a Dead Bear
-Dogs do not repel bears. Having one is not an excuse to sleep with your food.
Be Considerate of Other Visitors
-If you are in the presence of tent campers, pick sites that are over the only flat tentpads available (visa versa).
-Following the previous principles creates a sustainable public resource, showing the greatest commitment to the resource and its users.
Ask me anything about Leave No Trace, make my day.

Seven out of ten Tullis Russell workers re-employed
Fife Taskforce figures released during Fife Business Week.
The Fife Taskforce has supported 288 of the 446 Tullis Russell workers into re-employment, helping the entire redundant workforce with a package of education and training.
The Fife Taskforce - which held its 6th meeting earlier this month – is supporting workers across the Fife economy, including Tullis Russell. To date, it has achieved positive outcomes for the 308 workers of a total 560 workers in Fife involved in the process.
These figures come during Fife Business Week, which runs from November 9 to 13.
Key Taskforce outcomes around training and reemployment include:
- 396 training requests received with 305 arranged
- Jobs Fair event held on 8th September which attracted 368 participants
- Allocation of £332,526 training funding
- Creation of a Fife Taskforce Training Database to support training brokerage and co-ordination activity
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said:
"The Fife Taskforce has focused on action to assist people and businesses since first convening earlier this year. Our aim has always been to work as closely as we are able with colleagues in the public and private sectors to help those communities affected by job losses in Glenrothes and Central Fife.
"The fact that seven out of ten Tullis Russell workers have been re-employed demonstrates not only the effectiveness of the Taskforce, but is testament to the skilled workforce of Fife. Figures like this would be welcome at any time, but they are particularly resonant during Fife Business Week.
"The Scottish Government has supported the taskforce with £6 million and there is still much work to do to ensure this best supports local communities and the wider Fife economy. But the right people are around the table and I am confident that there will be more positive outcomes from the work of the Fife Taskforce.
"I would like to thank the public sector agencies, the private sector businesses, and the communities themselves who have contributed so effectively to the process so far."
Fife Council Leader Cllr David Ross, said:
"We are making progress on this and we are pleased that over half of the Tullis Russell workforce has now been redeployed and that a number of people are also now in training or education. The Fife Taskforce is working hard to implement its ongoing plan of action to support workers, the local community and the wider Fife economy. I would like to thank all those from public, private and voluntary sectors who are making valuable contributions to this work.
"Although I am encouraged by what has been achieved to date through the Task Force, there are still significant numbers of workers directly affected by the Tullis Russell and other closures who require our continued support. I can reassure all those affected that further assistance will be forthcoming."

Winding Stair Gap Trail is a 5.7 mile out and back trail located near London, Kentucky that features a river. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking, walking, and trail running. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
trail running
Winding Stair is very lightly traveled, last time I was in the area, it was poorly signed as well.
The entire Rockcastle Narrows/Sheltowee loop is very isolated, and does have a creepy feel to it. I hiked towards VanHook from FR 119 last october and found quite a bit of bear scat and ripped up stumps along VanHook Branch.
it is very isolated and I agree with one pf the other reviews...creepy. Its beautiful once you get down to the river but its very isolated.
We drove down a gravel road for 17 miles, only to come to a gate. The app said the trail head was a 5 minute walk from where we parked. We parked, walked up there, and got to a road with a sign that said the trail head was 1.75 miles down that road. It was also very creepy and extremely isolated.
Went downhill on 401, camped along the river and came up 402 the next day. It was hot and humid which added to the difficulty. We had large 50lb packs. These were moderate to difficult, but with the packs, solidly difficult. Great camping by the river, but please take your trash out with you. Many before have not.

Often referred to as "Burnished Uncirculated" or "Satin Finish" Silver Eagles, the Mint run for these coins is minuscule compared to other varieties of Silver Eagles. In a process similar to that used to create Proof American Eagle coins, the burnished blanks are hand-loaded one at a time into specially-adapted coining presses. Like the Proof American Eagles, these satin-finish coins carry the "W" mint mark of the United States Mint at West Point.
We have arranged for the very best coins to be immediately examined and certified, and the coins to be offered here have been independently graded by ANACS as in perfect Specimen Proof 70 (abbreviated SP70) condition. That makes these the rarest and most flawless Burnished Eagles of 2017. What's more, these coins are from the first day of release at the Mint, earning them the important "Inaugural Strike" designation of which there are just 176 specimens available. Each coin is encapsulated in a tamper-proof holder to protect its condition for the future and to preserve the "Inaugural Strike" certification. A deluxe wooden collector's case (a $20 value) is included at no charge.

OCM's New Hope for Breast Cancer Patients
Nearly one in four women who have breast cancer and opt for a breast-saving lumpectomy will need a second surgery, according to a recent study. These repeat operations increase both the cost of medical treatment and the risk of complications.
Surgeons can freeze and examine surgically removed tissue during an operation to determine whether any cancer cells remain in the margin of tissue surrounding the excised tumor. But the accuracy of this approach is limited. And the results from a more thorough histopathological evaluation of the removed tissue are not available for several days.
What if surgeons had a more accurate way to find out—in real time in the operating room—whether the tumor margins were free of cancer cells?
Chao Zhou, assistant professor of bioengineering, and Sharon Xiaolei Huang, associate professor of computer science and engineering, are working to make that vision a reality. They have created a computer-aided diagnostic technique that combines cutting-edge imaging technology with advanced artificial intelligence to detect, in real-time, the difference between cancerous and benign cells.
"The idea is that one day, if this technique is used during surgery, it could complement the histopathology, potentially reducing the need for a second breast cancer surgery," said Zhou.
Collaborators on the project include James G. Fujimoto of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, James L. Connolly of Harvard Medical School, and Xianxu Zeng and Zhan Zhang of The Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in Henan, China.
In an article published in Medical Image Analysis, the researchers reported that their technique correctly identified benign versus cancerous cells more than 90 percent of the time. The article was titled "Integrated local binary pattern texture features for classification of breast tissue imaged by optical coherence microscopy."
Sunhua Wan, a graduate student in Lehigh's department of computer science and engineering, is the article's lead author. Zhou and Huang are coauthors, along with Lehigh graduate students Ting Xu (computer science and engineering) and Tao Xu (electrical and computer engineering).

The 2016 season has been full of pleasant surprises, with guys like Ian Desmond, Wil Myers and Hanley Ramirez, to name just a few, far exceeding expectations most fans had in spring training.
That hasn't been the case for every player, of course, and right now we're going to take a look at the guys who came into 2016 with elevated expectations but have muddled their way through pretty disappointing seasons (for a couple of these guys, their seasons ended a while ago).
Think about this phrase as you're flipping through: To whom much is given, much is expected.
MORE: Baseball's 12 ugliest September collapses ever
For our purposes, the "much is given" can mean either talent or money. These guys all failed to live up to either paychecks, past performance levels or promised breakthroughs.
Here's hoping most of them rebound to be part of 2017's pleasant surprise club.
Note: All stats are through Tuesday, and all WAR numbers are the Baseball-Reference formula, unless noted.

Elastic knee braces and supports are really simple to use, cheap and provide some support and warmth to the knee.
They are perfect for providing low levels of support and are ideal for:
1) Short term use after minor injuries/strains
2) Longer term use with ongoing knee conditions causing mild to moderate pain.
They are great to have in the cupboard for those inevitable knocks!
Here, as well as looking at how they work and what conditions they are most suitable for, we will compare the different basic elastic knee braces on the market looking at reviews to find the best one for you. We will look at how they differ from each other and you can use the size guide to help you get the perfect fit for you.
Elastic knee braces work in a couple of different ways:
1) Support: They fit snugly providing some compression to the knee which helps support the soft tissues (muscles and ligaments)
2) Warmth: They retain heat which increases the circulation to the knee and helps promote healing
Basic elastic knee braces provide mild support and protection and are perfect for mild knee pain, sprains, arthritis, weakness, patellar tendonitis, cartilage irritation, bursitis, Runners Knee, Chondromalacia Patella, Osgood Schlatters and knee swelling. They are not suitable for moderate to severe instability and pain – in these cases you need advanced or elite protection.

As you will see, there are three types of basic elastic knee brace: full closed sleeves, open sleeves and wrap around knee supports. Let's look at the pros and cons of each style.
Why Choose this Type? A full sleeve provides support all around the joint and retains heat well. They are very simple to use – just pull them on and you're ready to go and they are perfect for people who get niggles when doing activities. These are generally the cheapest types of knee support on the market.
Why Choose this Type? This style of elastic knee brace has a hole and support buttress at the front. This reduces the pressure on the patella which can be helpful when there is pain at the front of the knee e.g. from Runners Knee or Chondromalacia Patella. Again, they are extremely easy to use – no Velcro straps to worry about.
Why Choose this Type? Wrap around elastic knee braces have adjustable straps so you can fit them to your own unique shape. This makes them particularly useful with the changing sizes of swollen knees. Some are open at the front for the patella (putting less pressure through it and allowing the knee to breathe) while others are closed all the way round. They are really easy to get on and off – you don't have to pull them up your leg and they often tend to stay in place better than pull up sleeves. They are one size fits all so you don't need to worry about choosing the right size.
A lot of it comes down to personal preference when choosing a knee support. I personally prefer wrap around elastic knee braces with an opening at the front as I find they tend to stay in place slightly better and don't put pressure through the kneecap, which is a common cause of pain. But other people prefer having a sleeve to pull up so they don't have to contend with Velcro!
Choosing a knee brace can be difficult, especially as there are so many different ones on the market. If you are experiencing moderate knee pain or are looking for a bit more support than these basic elastic knee braces and supports can provide, you would likely benefit from an advanced brace. If you have had a serious injury and need maximum support, you will need an elite level brace to provide you with adequate support and prevent further injury.

to find out about the different styles of brace available and what
conditions they are suitable for. We also provide recommendations on
star buys based on the opinions of people just like you.
Where elastic knee braces come in more than one size, it is important to get the right one otherwise they won't work effectively and may be very uncomfortable. Measure around the widest part of the knee and choose from the options below. If your knee size falls between two sizes, it is usually best to go for the larger size for a better fit.

Interesting view on how open open-source really is:
A developer friend deeply committed to open-source, about how Google's Android is hardly a case study in openness. He argued that the difference between Android and iOS was smaller than is commonly appreciated in the media; I argued that the ability to fork Android still matters. For me, the result of that debate was simply the reminder that Android is an open-source project controlled (rather than supported) by a corporation.
If you look at the Alibaba case one might argue that Android is not as open as it claims to be. I am less optimistic than the writer. If Google is hitting every Android fork like that you can hardly argue that the OS is open.
There's a recognition that you should let lots of other people contribute to your product or platform, but this decentralized activity is in many cases still coupled with centralized control. If there's damage here, it's less to open-source projects that exist, and more to the ones that never get a chance to.
So, what is open-source really worth these days?

We have been taking walk's in the Watershed park lately - there are a lot of trails
going all which way - this means most of the time we are lost. It is a beautifull, peacefull refruge from the busy world only meters away. Although the park is probably only about forty acres all told, we manage to find a new way to get lost every time we enter.Now I must admit the term LOST is a relative term, we are lost in the sense we don't know where we are for the moment, but we are only a 15 minute walk home once we find our way out! For example - within five minutes of taking this picture we were lost again and found a very deap revine we did not know existed, so we stopped and had our Root Beers and took some pictures of Beth's left over drink running down the trail- an exciting day for the old folks. Which in itself is a rather interesting subject - getting old that is. We don't actually think we are getting older until something comes up (like jumping over a log) and you fall or even worse don't event try to jump over it - sigh - it is all too depressing. That is until you accept where you are within the great scheme of things and enjoy each others company.
