Welcome to the New World of TeamConnect: Personalized to Reflect You (A blog series 4 of 5)
Today, there is an expectation of a level of configurability with everything we use. From choosing the trim color on the dashboard for a new car to what appears on the background of our social media accounts, we have gotten used to the idea that we can implant our identity on everything we use in some way to the point that it has become a standard. I recently went online to purchase a new phone, and I was amazed at the level of customization offered to me, giving me a sense of ownership and identity with my phone. This is a growing trend with consumer products. For example, Apple has increased their color selection on all of their devices. Why should the business products we invest in be any different than our consumer purchases? With TeamConnect 5, we offer our clients the ability to create a sense of ownership to the application by way of custom color profiles.
Creating custom color profiles in TeamConnect is not a new thing, but in TeamConnect 5 we really wanted to expand what a user or client can do autonomously. Previous to TeamConnect 5, we had what we called "themes" that were essentially pre-defined templates that we created to allow users or admins to change their color schemes. Their advantage was their ease of use and implemention, but they were limited as the only choices users had were what we gave them. For TeamConnect 5, we wanted to revamp this entire process to coincide with the new look and feel.
TeamConnect 5's new custom color profiles refresh the whole process of creating and applying new colors in the interface by using updated technology that helps make it more comprehensive, but also simple to use. Users can now create as many custom colors profiles as they wish; there really is no limit. Each of the new custom color profiles begins with a comprehensive list of options that are pre-populated with our default colors for our new look and feel. Users can then look at each of the available colors that clearly labeled and documented, and update them to any other color they want. Our goal with the new color profiles was that we didn't want our users to have to be technologically savvy to set up the color profiles, but to give them all-inclusive access to what colors can be customized.
All of this is meant to give our clients the best ability to account for all kinds of scenarios where they will need (or want) different color profiles. These can include, as mentioned in a previous post, the need to accommodate to visually impaired user; for example, creating a high-contrast color profile to account for colorblindness. Brand identity is also a key factor, and for those brand-conscious clients, they can ensure that their brand is preserved in the application through the colors shown in the new look. We have also seen clients create color profiles to showcase their team identity compared to other teams using TeamConnect. There are endless scenarios that the new color profile could help solve.
We would love to show you a demo of the new TeamConnect at LegalTech New York 2017. Please stop by our booth (#1995) for a live demonstration of TeamConnect, the back-to-back champion of LegalTech News Most Innovative Award. See you there!

GOP Presidential candidate Rick Perry isn't taking his rejection from the Virginia primary lying down. The Texas governor has filed a federal lawsuit in a U.S. District court to get on the ballot in the Old Dominion state.
Virginia has some of the toughest ballot restrictions in the country, and Perry is challenging the constitutionality of what his campaign calls such a "restrictive" primary process.
To qualify for the ballot, candidates must get 10 thousand signatures, 400 from each of the 11 Congressional districts, a task Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan calls "unrealistic" because only 119,034 Virginians voted in the 2008 Republican primary.
Only other two Republican candidates, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, have qualified for the Virginia primary.
"Virginia ballot access rules are among the most onerous and are particularly problematic in a multi-candidate election. We believe the Virginia provisions unconstitutionally restrict the rights of candidates and voters by severely restricting access to the ballot, and we hope to have those provisions overturned or modified to provide greater ballot access to Virginia voters and the candidates seeking to earn their support," claims Sullivan.
Perry is suing members of the Virginia Board of Election and the chair of the Virginia Republican Party. In the suit, he claims that the process violates the 1st and 14th Amendment rights of both voters and candidates, "to meaningfully participate in the political process."
In a press release, the Perry campaign sites examples of cases it which it claims similar out-of-state petition requirement have been struck down. The campaign goes on the say the Virginia Republican Party has the power to tell the Virginia Board of Election which candidates should be on the ballot.
Virginia's primary falls on March 6, what will be the first Super Tuesday. 10 other states will hold primaries and caucuses on that day. Both Ohio and Virginia could be key swing states if the primary battle lasts past Florida.
Perry is seeking a preliminary, permanent injuction so that his name will get on the ballots before they are printed. That date is fast approaching. Virginia State law says the "The electoral board shall make printed ballots available for absentee voting not later than 45 days prior to any election." That means absentee ballots must be mailed out by Jan 21.
Perry and Newt Gingrich were the only two candidates to submit signatures and not make the ballot. The others did not submit any signatures.
Gingrich's campaign has said it will pursue an aggressive write-in campaign, but Virginia doesn't allow write-ins on primary ballots. When asked if the Gingrich will also file a lawsuit, the campaign told Fox News it is still, "evaluating our options."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
Scenario: Our site is new but doing very well… however geographically our services are limited so why not link to competitors in geographically removed (non competitive) areas, e.g. people who find us on the web but choose not to bother due to geographical location rather than resuming their search click on the "partner companies" link and find the best match for them… OK it's a link network, however, a genuine one rather than some spammy #*$!.
So you did it successfully, mind sharing how you did it?!
if so, you could offer your competitor's offerings in cities you don't service. if you are feeling adventurous, you could offer them as supplemental results in areas that you do serve. maybe feature your info prominently at top, and display their stuff below...
Simply put we operate in regions (UK) A, B & C. We have located competitors (who rank well) in (UK) D, E, F…. and rather than loose trade we want to link to companies providing similar services in D, E, F….
I don't think that we can geo target on a county wide basis, or can we?
I don't think that we can geo target on a county wide basis, or can we?
Looking at Google Analytcs for a UK based site, it's claiming to know where about 80% - 85% of UK visitors came from - UK ISPs usually assign IP addresses on a geographical basis AFAIK.
Forget about the money for a moment. Get the thing set up first, start generating referrers to those competitors and it's going to raise a few eyebrows. ;)
You could also "get on the horn" (the telephone) and alert those companies to your plans. You never know, it might be the next big thing in your marketing efforts. ;)

At the heart of the group is a figure known as The Cameraman (Jared Morgan), who may well have plans of his own for Andrew...

North West roads top for mobile phone offenders
Date published: 27 February 2018
North West roads top for mobile phone offenders
Roads in the North West of England are plagued with distracted drivers, as new research reveals the region saw the highest number of mobile phone offences in 2017.
New figures obtained by Confused.com, the driver savings site, through Freedom of Information requests to four of the region's police forces, revealed 5,796 drivers were issued FPNs for using their phone behind the wheel in 2017.
However, due to the punishment for the offence doubling to six points and a £200 fine in the March, this figure is in fact a 34% drop from the previous year (8,803, 2016).
Evidently, the harsher penalty seems to have done an effective job in scaring drivers into abiding by the rules. But this has also put more money into the pockets of the authorities, as £37,200 was paid in fines by offenders in 2017.
There are certain areas of the North West where drivers should be wary of other distracted motorists, as Cheshire ranked top in the region for the offence.
Cheshire Police issued 1,830 FPNs to drivers for using their mobile phone while on the road.
Further research by Confused.com suggests there are still some grey areas around mobile phones and the law, with more than one in 10 (11%) drivers in the region saying they think the law is unclear.
To educate drivers on when they can and can't touch their phone while behind the wheel, Confused.com has partnered with Inspector Rob Gwynne-Thomas, to create an FAQ guide to clear up any confusion on the law.
Currently, the law states that holding or touching a mobile phone at any point while driving is an offence, including while stationary, unless it is an emergency. Worryingly, more than one in four (27%) do not know that entering a location in Google Maps, or tapping the phone screen (24%) while behind the wheel is illegal.
And more than one in seven (15%) do not think making or answering a non-emergency call via the phone handset is illegal. However, all of these would count as an offence, unless the car is safely parked.
Overall results across the UK reflect a very similar picture, with the number of offences dropping year-on-year. In 2017, the number of FPNs issued to drivers dropped to 30,470, from a whopping 49,694 in 2016 – a 39% drop in just 12 months.
The figures suggest the amount collected in fines has more than doubled (151%) in 2017. At least £1,207,300 was paid in fines by offenders in 2017(3), up from £481,500 in 2016, due to fines increasing to £200 from March, and police now declining to offer education courses.
And it isn't just the fines that will be stinging motorists. With harsher punishments now seeing offenders served six points instead of three, new drivers will lose their licence the very first time they commit the offence.
In total, a whopping 157,847 points were dished out to offenders across the whole of the UK throughout last year, with 23,524 endorsements served for six points.
The research by Confused.com echoes the findings of the FOI investigation, with the punishment seeming to have changed North West drivers' attitudes towards the offence. In fact, more than two thirds (69%) of drivers in the region say the harsher punishment has deterred them from using their mobile phone while driving, with more than a third (37%) saying they have stopped completely.
It is a good thing the punishment for the offence has been tightened, as there are many drivers out there who have admitted to breaking the law at some point. In fact, four in 10 (41%) have read a text and a third (33%) admit they have answered a call using their handset. Worryingly, one in 20 (5%) have also used social media while behind the wheel.
There are also some drivers in the North West that think the law could be a little more relaxed and should only apply when the vehicle is moving (15%). In fact, one in seven (15%) say they think it should be legal to use a mobile phone while stuck in traffic, and one in eight (12%) say it should be allowed when stationary at traffic lights.
But what is certain is that the law has clearly made an impact on the region's roads, and almost a quarter (24%) of drivers have found there is more of a stigma of using a mobile phone while driving since the introduction of the new punishment.
Amanda Stretton, motoring editor at Confused.com, said: "Since the penalties for using a mobile phone behind the wheel have gone up, it's encouraging to see it has had the desired effect by reducing the number of motorists committing the offence.
"What is worrying is so many drivers are still in the dark about what's legal and what's not when it comes to using a mobile phone while driving. We've set out to clear up where drivers' stand in relation to the law with the help of the UK traffic police and our FAQ guide.
"Using a mobile phone while driving can have serious consequences, and drivers may forget that being caught committing the offence can damage their driving record and could bump up their car insurance premium.
And with the average cost of car insurance at £827, we're sure drivers could do without anything which increases this cost.
Drivers looking to keep their car insurance costs down should shop around at Confused.com, where they could save up to £279 on their premiums."

How to Grow Onions at Home
Onions need soil rich in nutrients and fertilizer in order to grow well. It is recommended to put down a good layer of compost before planting, whether you are planting in a pot or in garden, and stop watering the plants 20 days before harvest.
There is no doubt that onions are a food that cannot be missing in our kitchen. They bring flavor to our meals and are present in countless dishes and recipes. They also have many properties which are beneficial for our health. Learn how to grow onions at home in the following article.
Technical data regarding the cultivation of onions
- Onions are one of the plant species that have been cultivated for centuries. They are very versatile and beneficial for our body. You can plant them either in the garden or in a pot, as long as you fulfill certain conditions, which are:
- Plant them directly in the soil.
- The planting seasons are spring, summer and winter (not fall).
- The time of growth is four months from planting until harvesting.
- If you want to plant them in pots, these must contain at least three liters (3 quarts) of water or a minimum depth of 20 centimeters (7.8 inches).
- If you are planting onions in the garden, the distance between each plant must be 15 cm (6 inches) and between the rows 40 cm (15.7 inches).
- Regarding the type of soil, it is important to know that onions need soil that is rich in nutrients and fertilizer in order to develop well. They like soil with peat, silt and some sand. They do not like soil that is too sandy or with clay.
- The elements that onions take from the soil are potassium and phosphorus but not nitrogen. Therefore, it is advisable to put down a good layer of compost before planting, whether it is planted in a pot or in the garden.
- Onions prefer places that are in full sun, especially during the weeks in which the bulbs are formed.
- Throughout their life cycle, onions need very little water, with the exception of their vegetative state, that is, before the bulb is formed. Some 20 days before harvesting, it is advisable to stop watering.
- You can harvest the onions when the tops of the leaves become yellow, twist and break. This is when the onion is mature. To lift the bulbs use a hand rake or fork to avoid damaging the skin and then leave them half-buried for a few days. Later remove them from the pot or garden and let them dry in the sun for two weeks.
- It is essential to keep the onions free from weeds and avoid sudden changes in humidity which can damage them.
- The ideal temperature for onions during the growth of the bulb is between 15 and 25 ° C (60 and 78 degrees F) and it grows well with other plants: strawberries, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes. It is not advised to plant them with legumes.
The three seasons of planting onions are:
- At the end of the summer
If planted in rows, separate each plant well from the others. If planted in pots, the seeds are randomly scattered. Cover the seeds with 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) of compost and press it down slightly.
- In winter
In regions where winters are usually very strong and snowy, it is recommended to first grow seedlings (small plants) and leave them in the greenhouse, indoor patio or inside the house. Thus you will have small onions ready to be transplanted in the spring. They are then placed in dry soil and in rows about the size of the seedlings.
- In spring
It is only recommended to plant in spring if the following summer will be wet and cool or if you have no place to store the onions. The separation between each plant should be 10 cm (4 inches) and only when they have reached a height of 10 cm (4 inches). Spring is the best time to plant bulbs instead of seeds. Make holes every 15 cm (6 inches) in a row. Place a bulb in each hole, cover it and press down firmly.
How to plant onions in pots
If you don't have the space at home to make a garden (or no land available), you can experiment with planting in pots on the balcony, terrace or patio. It is easier than you think, you do not have to take any gardening classes or become a farmer overnight. You just need to prepare the soil well, condition the location and choose the pots.
The first thing to do is obtain a good organic soil to put in the pots. You can buy it from a nursery (if so, choose whichever is blackest because it has the most fertilizer). On no account should you use artificial fertilizers, because although they will make the plant grow faster they are harmful to your health. Furthermore, if you are planting in your home it is because you want to eat healthier things, surely.
If the soil is dry, "cakey" or a very light color, you can mix it with a manure-enriched soil, which is a good dark black color. Let the nutrients settle for two weeks before planting.
The pots should be at least 20 cm (8 inches) deep and 30 cm (12 inches) wide. If you are going to plant seeds, you should also leave 15 cm (6 inches) between each hole because when they grow they need more space. If you are using seedlings, it is best to prepare them before and put them in the pot when they reach 10 cm high (4 inches).
During the first two months you should water them every other day and leave them in a place with lots of sun. You can easily grow them after four months. Try to pay attention each day to see how the plant is growing, what it needs or what it doesn't need. You can experiment to become an expert.

These 7 Medications Can Cause Puffy Legs and Ankles
Dr. Sharon Orrange - July 18, 2017
Medications are a common offender when it comes to lower extremity edema, either as the cause or as a factor that can make it worse. Swelling in the lower legs from fluid in the tissues—lower extremity edema—is a familiar complaint among patients. Imprints from your socks, puffy legs, and feet so you can't put your shoes on, or swelling so that you can make an indent with your thumb (pitting edema) may lead you to wonder what's going on.

Type 2 Diabetes: Oral Medication Basics
Roni Shye - December 31, 2013
In a non-diabetic person, insulin is released from the pancreas with each meal and it helps the body either use or store the glucose it gets from the food. Patients who have type I diabetes don't produce insulin, and must inject themselves with insulin to mimic the body's natural process.
Type II diabetics, on the other hand, still produce insulin but their bodies do not use it properly. Type II diabetics can be treated with oral medications, insulin, other injectables, or a combination of different medications. See More
FDA Panel Votes to Ease Safety Restrictions on Avandia
Elizabeth Davis - June 13, 2013
Since 2010, use of diabetes med Avandia has been restricted to patients who weren't able to control their diabetes using other medication options. Studies showed an increased risk of heart problems, and the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, plead guilty and was fined for witholding safety information about Avandia.
On the panel that made the decision to restrict Avandia (rosiglitazone) in 2010, 12 out of 26 panelists voted to remove it from the market altogether. See More
GlaxoSmithKline Pays Up, and Outs Dr. Drew at the Same Time
Dr. Sharon Orrange - July 11, 2012
This story should get under your skin. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the drug company that makes Wellbutrin (bupropion), has agreed to pay $3 billion to the federal government. GSK plead guilty to charges of illegally promoting two antidepressants and withholding key safety information about the diabetes drug Avandia.
As part of the settlement, the drug company admitted promoting the drugs Paxil (paroxetine) and Wellbutrin for off-label uses and failing to report safety data about the diabetes medication Avandia. See More

Dear Tell All: I'm from the generation when everyone was either a "he" or "she." But since my daughter got to be a teenager, pronouns have become strangely complicated.
Several of her friends have announced a change from "he" to "she" or "she" to "he." One of them prefers to go by "they." These are kids I've known for years, and I feel ridiculous addressing them by a different pronoun. When I mentioned this to my daughter, she blew up at me. How dare I resist calling them what they want to be called?
Okay, so I tried. I gamely called a former boy "she" and a former girl "he." In the case of "they," I just tried talking around the pronoun so I wouldn't have to make a fool of myself by referring to a single person in the plural.
Admittedly, I messed up once in a while and used forbidden pronouns. My missteps have been greeted with contempt from both my daughter and her friends.
It's gotten to the point where I don't want to talk to them, or about them, at all. They're hyper-vigilant for slip-ups, and it seems to give them great pleasure to catch me in a mistake. To me, the whole thing smacks of self-righteousness — a way of feeling special and superior. It apparently doesn't count that I mean well.
Am I doomed to be forever out of step with the younger generation just because of pronouns?
Dear Me: Yes, you are doomed to be out of step with the younger generation as long as you see their concerns as "ridiculous." You give yourself credit for meaning well, but you're the one who seems contemptuous here.
The first step in solving this problem is for you to realize that their concerns about gender identity are real, not just a diabolical plot to make you feel stupid. Don't fool yourself into thinking your generation predated this phenomenon. Obviously, people were just more hesitant to talk about it back then, given oppressive social norms.
Once you've achieved complete tolerance for your daughter's friends, you can move on to step two: asking her to be more tolerant of you. If she's being self-righteous, initiate a discussion about that unattractive quality and encourage a generosity of spirit.
But don't expect results right away, Me. The only way this will work is if you model generosity of spirit yourself, and you've got a ways to go.

Vitamin Shoppe investing in omnichannel retailing
NORTH BERGEN, N.J. — The Vitamin Shoppe is making significant investments into omnichannel retailing, CEO and director Anthony Truesdale told analysts during a conference call on Tuesday.
"Our omnichannel initiative is an important focus for the company, one which will enable us to further improve service to our customers," he said. "This is a multiyear project. Phase one includes the ability for customers to buy online and pick up in the store. We expect to have this service available by the end of next year," he said. "All [of] this is designed so that customers can shop however, wherever and whenever they want, and this will set us further apart from pureplay e-commerce companies."
Vitamin Shoppe recently boosted its online retailing appeal with the addition of PayPal as a payment option earlier in the quarter, Truesdale added. Also in an effort to enhance its online offering, Vitamin Shoppe has been tweaking its multiple interfaces. "We're seeing the tremendous movement of customers and growth in the tablet business and our phone business," Truesdale said. "So we're going to continue to invest in those two devices, to make sure that … it continues to meet what the customer expects from The Vitamin Shoppe," he said. "The tablet experience is different than the phone experience, and we're adapting our experiences based on how the customer uses those devices when they shop at Vitamin Shoppe."
Vitamin Shoppe also announced the launch of two new premium private-brand products, including a probiotic under its Probiocare label and a line of herbs to be marketed under its Plant label.
Smooth Gator launches 60 Second Pain Relief
ODESSA, Fla. — Smooth Gator recently launched its Smooth Gator's 60 Second Pain Relief, a cream made with all-natural oils including wintergreen, aloe vera and eucalyptus.
The topical analgesic, which also contains active ingredients methyl salicylate, camphor and menthol, is indicated for temporary relief of minor aches and pains of the muscles and joints associated with arthritis, sprains, strains, bruises, back and joint pain. The cream also can be used for pain relief caused by sinus, allergies, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, the company added.
The cream is water-based for better skin absorbance when applied, the company added.
Nexafed gains national distribution
PALATINE, Ill. — Acura Pharmaceuticals on Monday announced that Nexafed, its next generation pseudoephedrine with abuse-deterrent technology, will now be stocked by Rite Aid.
Nexafed is a 30 mg immediate-release pseudoephedrine product that combines nasal-congestion relief with a unique technology that disrupts the conversion of pseudoephedrine into methamphetamine.
In September, the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse published a study that validates the ability of Nexafed to uniquely disrupt the extraction and conversion of pseudoephedrine into methamphetamine. The study also confirmed that Nexafed delivers the same efficacy compared to other similar PSE products.

Plan a stay at one of our many Dorset holiday cottages and see what this idyllic corner of the country has to offer. Go hunting for fossils along miles of Jurassic Coast, discover a hill fort perched on a chalk hill or explore the cobbled streets of one of many picture postcard towns.
You'll never run out of things to visit, but when you run out of steam our Dorset holiday cottages make the perfect place to unwind.
Complete with its own hide, The Bakehouse is a prime location for spotting rare birds. Overlooking the RSPB Arne Reserve and Poole Harbour you can look out for marsh harriers or Dartford warblers. If you're not twitching at the thought of all this then there are plenty of other options. Corfe Castle and the historic town of Wareham are both within five miles.
At the end of a quiet valley with the South West Coast Path running past your door, the cottages of Ash, Oak and Elm make a great base for exploring the Jurassic Coast. The three cottages share a garden and car park but can be booked individually. In total the three cottages sleep 12, and all enjoy views across Golden Cap.
Whether you're looking for a seaside break, a piece of history or the chance to seek out lesser-spotted wildlife, the Isle of Purbeck has it all. It's almost enough for us to forget the fact that it's not actually an island. One of two farm workers' cottages, this semi-detached two-bed has Corfe Castle, Studland Bay and the surrounding nature reserves all in reach.
If you're a fan of sea views, they don't come much better than those from Custom House. With water lapping just metres away, you'll be able to watch boats as they sail past your door. With most of Brownsea Island's visitors heading back to the mainland at the end of the day, you'll feel like you have this special place all to yourself.
The three Heathlands Cottages were once an old isolation hospital, making this a great place to get away from it all. This intriguing conversion features a pine interior and gallery bedroom above the open plan living area. As the name suggests you're right on the heath, so exploring the local area couldn't be easier.
On the very edge of Poole Harbour, this old farm workers' cottage enjoys views of Brownsea Island. Venture down through the large garden and you can access the water, or head inland and lookout for rare woodlarks and Dartford warblers. For beach bums Studland Beach and Shell Bay are nearby, as is the short ferry crossing to Sandbanks.
Positioned at the heart of Dorset's Jurassic Coast, this thatched cottage is close to the South West Coast Path. With cliff-top views from the Golden Cap just two miles away you're in the perfect place to discover the area. The local seaside towns of Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Seaton all make great places to refuel after a cliff-top walk.
This quirky, former tennis pavilion is tailor made for a beach break. From the large verandah you can look out over Studland, and within a 180-metre walk is the sandy South Beach. But with a large garden and picnic area, and a pub next door to the cottage, you might be happy just staying put.
Step inside this Art Deco villa and pretend you're a millionaire. This grand property is set in a large garden and has room for 12 guests, boasting seven bedrooms and two large terraces. Most rooms have french windows opening out onto south-facing sea views. The style of the property continues throughout, with original features and furniture.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) – Donald Trump is slamming Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz as a "great hypocrite" for tapping big financial institutions for loans while portraying himself as an anti-establishment outsider.
Trump kept the new feud between the two front-runners alive in New Hampshire and on Twitter before a tea party convention in South Carolina at which both are appearing.
In the last Republican debate, Trump offered a passionate defense of New York City in response to Cruz's claim that he represents "New York values" out of step with conservatives.
At the tea party meeting, Cruz didn't mention Trump by name. But he urged activists to back a consistent conservative — meaning, not Trump.
Ted is the ultimate hypocrite. Says one thing for money, does another for votes. https://t.co/hxdfy0mjVw — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
January 16, 2016
Trump challenges Cruz for taking loans from Goldman Sachs and Citibank when he was running for his Texas Senate seat.
In Iowa, where polls indicate a narrowing race between Trump and Cruz, Trump released his second television ad on Friday, which marks a significant departure from the first one he released earlier this year. While that ad painted an alarming picture of a country under attack by jihadists and immigrants entering the country illegally, the new ad is much more traditional, featuring footage of Trump speaking at a recent rally in Lowell, Massachusetts.
In the new ad, Trump runs through his central campaign platforms, including his vows to strengthen the country's borders, "fix" it's health care system and the military, and take better care of veterans.
The ad will be airing in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, according to the campaign.
The Trump campaign is also giving out free tickets to the new movie, "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi." The campaign has rented a theater in Iowa, for the free screening on Friday. The film depicts the events of the September 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.
Several GOP presidential candidates have slammed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for her role before and after the attack in Benghazi, saying she knew from the start it was an act of terrorism.

2 instruments by Lorenzo Ventapane
Lorenzo Ventapane is generally considered to be the most important of the Neapolitan makers outside the Gagliano family. He almost certainly trained with one of the Gaglianos, most likely Giovanni or his son Nicolo II, and his instruments bear a strong resemblance in construction, varnish and tone to those of the Gagliano family.
The upright f-holes, the use of paper in the purfling and the placement of the pegs give the two violins illustrated here a characteristically Neapolitan appearance. Neither of them has the greenish tint in the varnish that one often sees in Gaglianos of this period, but instead a rather attractive golden-orange. As is the case with many of the Neapolitan makers, however, the quality of the materials, and indeed of the workmanship, can vary from one instrument to the next.

Underground aquifers contain 100 times the volume of fresh water found on the Earth's surface but they have been neglected under international law despite their environmental, social, economic and strategic importance. On Monday, that will change as the UN General Assembly receives the draft of a new international treaty to safeguard these enormous pools of underground water shared by more than one country. The draft Convention on Transboundary Aquifers applies to 96 percent of the planet's freshwater resources - those that are to be found in underground aquifers, most of which straddle national boundaries. Many shared aquifers are under environmental threats caused by climate change, growing population pressure, over-exploitation, and human induced water pollution.

Looks like it to me anyway.
As a guess, i'd say it was either fresh water storage for the new 'island' developments UAE have built, or sewerage.
May even be underground oil storage.
Or could be doomsday bunkers for the rich that will be buying the multimillion $ apartments and private islands in the area.
Unless we get someone stop by who actually lives there, or has worked on these things (or knows someone who has), we're only guessing.

On Rentals: My Experience Explained
Mount Cabin Rentals in Gatlinburg Tennessee
If you are looking for mountain cabins to rent in Gatlinburg Tennessee, it is highly recommended that you think of going to Wears Valley. Wears Valley is close to Gatlinburg, but it is very far from the hassles which the modern Gatlinburg gives and will still give you the traditional feeling of the environment of how the Smoky Mountains were before a lot of people have come and gone to the Great Smoky Mountains.
It is not hard to find a good cabin rental in Gatlinburg. There are a wide variety of cabin choices to choose from. You can look for cabins which are close to Gatlinburg and are more city like or you can also find cabins which are up in the mountains and far from town. Most people prefer to be close to shopping centers and close to Gatlinburg. The good thing about Gatlinburg is that it has got a lot of activities for the kids and a lot of shopping areas. There are many kinds of rides and arcades which the kids can do while you are shopping.
It is also a good preference to be further away from Gatlinburg. The Wears Valley is a great place to stay in since you can easily go to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park as it is only on its opposite side. You can flawlessly drive to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park from Wears Valley without having to go through the process of dealing with the traffic in Gatlinburg. Gatlinburg is only approximately 20 minutes into town whenever you want to go there.
Available in and around in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park are cabins which can ultimately combine what your family is looking for, both shopping and outdoor adventures. Since it is part of the government land grant, the park itself, of course, does not have any available cabins for rent. If you look around the Great Smoky Mountain National Park however, you would find cabins that are very close to just about everything you want and need to. It is highly suggested and recommended that you look for a cabin rental which rents out double for at least a week or for the amount of time that you will be staying.
Finding a cabin close to Pigeon Forge is another thing which you should consider. Just outside of Gatlinburg Tennessee is the Pigeon Forge which is a nice shopping area. Even though Pigeon Forge is well known for its discount shopping, it has lots of traffic just like Gatlinburg. If you have members in your family that love to shop, then they will love the discount shopping in the Pigeon Forge area and also there are a lot of good activities for kids such as go cart riding and movie theaters.

I recently read a Wall Street Journal article about the connection between flavor in food, nutrition and cravings. It validated my views on eating the highest quality real food available and not getting hung up on calories. The best takeaway is to lose the fear that fat makes you fat or that carbs are the ultimate enemy.
I often hear "I eat really healthy" from clients. I always ask what that means to them and the answers usually include statements like, "I eat low fat", "I stay away from carbs", or "I don't eat red meat". We all have belief's about what healthy is based on the successful brainwashing the food industry does through the marketing their hyper palatable fake food.
What about cravings? I mostly hear from clients that they crave bread, pasta and sweets. The reason most people crave these foods is because they are addictive. They make us feel good, for the moment anyway. When we break the addiction to these blood sugar spiking substances and add in more vegetables, fruit and high quality animal protein, we can experience the cravings our bodies were designed for. That is craving nutrients our bodies need in that moment. The article pointed to a study done in 1939 on toddlers' eating habits. The children were allowed to feed themselves whenever and whatever they wanted, and as much as they craved. Researchers provided the toddlers with 34 nutritionally diverse whole foods, including water, potatoes, beef, bone jelly, carrots, chicken, grains, bananas and milk. The results were fascinating. Instead of eating the sweetest food available, the toddlers ate the foods that nourished them the most. More protein during growth spurts, more raw beef, carrots and beets after an outbreak of mononucleosis. One child even drank cod liver oil on his own till his vitamin D deficiency was gone. Their bodies were able to recognize the flavor in the food to satisfy their nutritional needs.
Most people believe that to have a fit & healthy body requires deprivation and sacrifice. I believe that having a fit & healthy body requires eating flavorful & delicious food! I help clients learn and appreciate the amazing flavors that real food offers. Unfortunately, as the article points out, our food today has less nutrients and flavor compared to 50 plus years ago due to industrialized meat and the depletion of minerals in our soil. Seek out seasonal, local, organic vegetables and fruit. As well as, pastured chicken and eggs, wild fish and grass-fed beef. Use Himalayan sea salt, spices and herbs to add amazing flavor to your food. Supplement with high quality vitamins for the deficiency's in our current food supply. Spend money on the good stuff now and avoid paying for sickness later!
My program & partnership will give you strategies & support to achieve your health & wellness goals. My philosophy is, " Let's get back to the real flavors of nutrition and delicious food, and enjoy feeling healthy."

The American Heiress
A NovelBook - 2011
"Anyone suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal symptoms (who isn't?) will find an instant tonic in Daisy Goodwin's The American Heiress. The story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s who bags an English duke, this is a deliciously evocative first novel that lingers in the mind." --Allison Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of I Don't Know How She Does It and I Think I Love You
Be careful what you wish for. Traveling abroad with her mother at the turn of the twentieth century to seek a titled husband, beautiful, vivacious Cora Cash, whose family mansion in Newport dwarfs the Vanderbilts', suddenly finds herself Duchess of Wareham, married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England. Nothing is quite as it seems, however: Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the English social scene is full of traps and betrayals. Money, Cora soon learns, cannot buy everything, asshe must decide what is truly worth the price in her life and her marriage.
Witty, moving, and brilliantly entertaining, Cora's story marks the debut of a glorious storyteller who brings a fresh new spirit to the world of Edith Wharton and Henry James.
"For daughters of the new American billionaires of the 19th century, it was the ultimate deal: marriage to a cash-strapped British Aristocrat in return for a title and social status. But money didn't always buy them happiness." --Daisy Goodwin in The Daily Mail

This historical romance is Daisy Goodwin''s first novel, and while a strong and enjoyable effort, if you're on a time budget, skip straight to her 2nd, "The fortune hunter", which is absolutely delectable.
Still, Godwin does a good job rendering that late 19th century practice of British nobility marrying rich Americans to keep the title and the castle afloat. She's done her history homework and her plot, dialogue and social setting all ring true.
Really enjoyed this novel, was also quite the page-turner. Hard to imagine it was a first novel for this author! Looking forward to reading another.
I loved this one, and was actually surprised by how much. The secrety-secrets aspect of it wasn't a total success, since I pretty much had it all figured out all along, and yet I found myself totally sucked into the world, and really invested in both Cora and her duke. There's a bit of a flavor of poor-little-rich-girl to the proceedings, and yet I still deeply felt for this character who seemingly had everything. A great read for Downton Abbey fans, of course, but there's more depth here than I was expecting, while still being a fun, frothy read.
I am not sure why people liked this book. Very tedious childish fantasy book. No surprises. No twists, no plot, shallow characters. Very predictable.
Not even historically enlightening. Don't waste your time.
A pleasure. I almost dropped the book at the beginning because the spoilt heroine was a little too much like Jane Austen's Emma and she was getting on my nerves. I'm very glad I persisted, because the novel turned into a page-turner, I found that it had more complexity and detail than the standard romance.
A++ All the way….A must have Book in all Libraries - worth the long library wait and WORTH the cost of owing!
I would recommend this movie for all to read.
A nice, well-written book. The main character, Cora, was clearly inspired by the life of Consuelo Balsam (née Vanderbilt, ex-Duchess of Marlborough), also an American. Differently from Consuelo, though, Cora is spirited and has a mind of her own. But like Consuelo, Cora has a domineering mother, very much like Alva Vanderbilt, Mrs. Cash (who is also a Southerner like Consuelo's mother). From their trips in the family yacht, to the contraption Mrs. Vanderbilt used to put on Consuelo in order to keep her spine straight, many are the similarities. In Consuelo's book (The Glitter and the Gold) she tells the same story Cora mentions: that of waiting for the butler to send someone to make the fire, a task much below his rank, while her grace almost froze! Like with Consuelo, Cora's groom leaves her for a hunting trip until the night before the wedding. A nice read.
Cora Cash believes herself like Emma Woodhouse to be ?handsome, clever and rich;? but her destiny is more likely to be charted by her mother. Nothing less than a British title will do. When she literally falls into the hands of the enigmatic Duke of Wareham when she falls from her horse, the story takes readers though a year or so of her maiden voyage learning about expectations in the upper class world of fin de siècle England.
Some of the characters are a bit stereotyped, but it?s a great page-turning read while we wait for another year of ?Downton Abbey!?
Enjoyable and interesting read regarding American/British marriage of this time period.
The book's "happy, romantic" ending is unrealistic.
A "lighter" Edith Wharton-esque tale of rich Americans and titled Brits. A good read.

SummaryAdd a Summary
Certain movies are entirely driven by the meet-cute situation, and contrived circumstances throw the couple together for much of the screenplay. However, movies in which the contrived situation is the main feature, such as Some Like It Hot, rather than the romance being the main feature, are not considered "meet-cutes".
The use of the meet-cute is less marked in television series and novels, because these formats have more time to establish and develop romantic relationships. In situation comedies, relationships are static and meet-cute is not necessary, though flashbacks may recall one (The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mad About You) and lighter fare may require contrived romantic meetings.

How Effective Medical Marijuana Is?
In a number of states, medical marijuana is legally used as it is known to provide many benefits to people who suffer from medical issues. A doctor may give prescription for cannabis for various conditions. In most instances, cannabis is given to be able to provide relief to extreme pain or to increase appetite in patients going through chemotherapy. Basically, weeds have delivered a positive effect on the society as this has given doctors yet another tool in curing their patients.
Actually, cannabis is a natural medicine that helps to alleviate symptoms of various medical conditions. It is capable of treating health issues that occur often and affecting people as well as symptoms associated with life threatening and serious illnesses.
One of the general issues that medical cannabis can be a big help is by dealing with chronic pain, most especially neck or back pain. Oftentimes, long term conditions of constant pains similar to those associated with the back or neck are something that a person is just dealing with. Truth is, opiod painkillers is one option but they're quite addictive and being addicted to using painkillers could be debilitating condition that can affect relationships, career and lives. The alternative to this is using marijuana for medical purposes which don't pose any risks of addiction.
Inflammatory drugs likewise pose problems when used in the long run whereas cannabis isn't carrying such risks. Whether you believe it or not, cannabis works in almost an instant when it's smoked to the point that you will feel its pain relieving properties within minutes.
Gastritis is another condition why it is a wise move to buy weed and get treatment for the condition. Something that you'll love about cannabis is the fact that it has got the capacity of stimulating appetite, relaxing the muscles and regulates pain especially in gastrointestinal area. For such reasons, cannabis can be used to reduce painful symptoms of gastritis. When you are dealing with gastritis flare up, you can fight the attack by smoking medical cannabis.
Patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS are often prescribed with cannabis in the states that have legalized it for medical purposes. The truth is, there are also cannabis tours to which you can participate and be brought to a number of growers and cannabis friendly hotels where you can buy some weeds and smoke it to help you find relief in your condition.
PMS or Premenstrual Syndrome is one condition that affects women which features symptoms such as pain and abdominal cramping as well as irritability. Again, buying marijuana plant for medicinal purposes will help you find relief from these symptoms.

From Tired to Trendy
Homeowner Nancy Sinclair took an all or nothing approach when she decided to renovate her tired kitchen with poor work flow, white cabinets, green counter tops and outdated appliances.
A gourmet cook, Nancy admits she was "anxious" for the project to start. She credits SGR for slowing her down to concept the project before construction started. The project and pricing started with Nancy's dream kitchen going onto paper. It was scaled back to meet scope and budget, which took a few concepts.
One of the key selections in the project was the kitchen island. "I thought I wanted a honed (matte) surface for the island. When we put the elements together the honed surface didn't look right." Instead a gloss surface with flecks of gold, black and tan called National Treasure is now the kitchen's centerpiece. "I love the top. The granite we chose is beautiful," says Nancy.

"I'm pleased that I went ahead with the whole project. Sometimes you can redo small areas, but this wasn't that kind of situation."

The current news regarding XBOX, is that everyone hates them. That said – Microsoft is still brave enough to announce a hardware spec change, months before. What do you think? And the new iPhone might see a fingerprint scanner added to the home button. Will your fingers be safe from thieves?

One advantage of focusing on stocks within the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES:^DJI) is that you largely don't have to worry about weeding out bad companies. Especially in light of its recent realignment, the Dow has a strong track record of identifying the leaders of various industries with good potential for sustained future growth. That makes it easier to look for Dow stocks with attractive valuations without worrying too much about threats to their underlying business models.
With that goal in mind, let's look at the three cheapest Dow stocks by earnings multiple. Although using price-to-earnings ratios is simplistic and can be misleading, it's a reasonable first place to start in combing through the 30 components of the Dow.
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), 8.8 P/E
Banking giant JPMorgan weighs in with the lowest earnings multiple in the Dow, based on data from Yahoo! Finance. However, that status won't last for very long. JPMorgan's earnings report yesterday morning led to a massive litigation-related loss for the third quarter that will sink the bank's trailing earnings over the past 12 months. In turn, JPMorgan can expect its P/E to climb somewhat.
In many ways, though, this reveals the flaws of the P/E ratio more than it does problems at JPMorgan. Admittedly, a $7.2 billion after-tax charge is a hard thing to ignore. But if you consider those losses to be one-time in nature -- a heroic assumption given the $23 billion that JPMorgan has set aside in total to cover legal settlements, regulatory fines, and other costs -- then the bank remains solidly profitable. JPMorgan even managed to boost its earnings from last year's third quarter on an adjusted basis. Even with impressive share-price gains in recent years, JPMorgan still looks like a relative bargain.
Chevron (NYSE:CVX), 9.5 P/E
Oil major Chevron also has an earnings multiple below 10, making its stock look like a good value. But the oil company has faced some troubles recently, as maintaining production levels becomes more difficult. Just earlier this week, Chevron released interim results for the third quarter and warned that its earnings would be likely to decline sequentially. In particular, U.S. production volumes were lower during July and August than in the second quarter.
Still, Chevron is a global player in energy, and new opportunities overseas have so far managed to offset sluggish domestic production. With an emphasis on developing natural-gas assets around the world, Chevron hopes to build a worldwide network of gas production and transportation through strategically placed liquefied natural gas terminals and other transmission infrastructure. Despite challenges, Chevron looks prepared to face tough conditions head on and still find growth.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), 9.8 P/E
As with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs is dealing with a tough environment for financial companies. Rising interest rates have raised the specter of declining earnings for investment bankers. After enjoying huge profits from underwriting massive amounts of bond offerings, Goldman and its peers now have to find ways to replace that disappearing income now that the refinancing cycle has largely ended.
Goldman offers a wide array of financial services, many of which aren't as sensitive to rates as its bond underwriting business. With a booming IPO market and plenty of merger and acquisition activity, Goldman is still among the top choices for financial advisory services to corporations seeking to make strategic moves in the capital markets. Even if Goldman has a temporary setback, its share price gives it a margin of safety that should be adequate for anything short of a full-blown relapse of the financial crisis.
It's important to understand that attractive valuations won't necessarily prevent share-price declines at any of these three stocks. But with solid businesses behind them, they offer good long-term prospects that make now seem like a good time for interested investors to buy.

When it comes to the latest fashion for men, most of the men abroad always seem to be the most well dressed. Men in London seem to look like fashion models who have come straight from the ramp which is why their style is very impressive. Every man looks up to the mark whether it is a casual outfit or if they are dressed for an occasion. They are really classy which is probably due to what they developed regarding their fashion sense in London college of fashion. Pupils make the habit of purchasing clothes which are convenient for their daily wear but it still makes them look handsome. They make an effort in grooming well which makes them even more attractive.
You can follow some basic trends to improve your look. First of all you need to get a good haircut which will suit your face and make you look good. Try combining a blazer from Macy's along with a shirt with stripes from Zara. Including a shirt with stripes will help you make a style statement. This look is perfect for formal occasions as well as casual outings with your friends.
You can pair crimson trousers with a neutral or pale color which will make you look perfect for fall. This is because this combination gives you a magnificent blend of bright and light colors.
Once you have chosen your attire, do not forget to accessorize. Your ensemble is not complete if you have not worn any accessories. The fashion institute of technology recommends using belts, bags and proper shoes make your look complete.
If you are looking for a more casual look for college you can wear a jumper and below that a simple buttoned shirt combined with jeans. This will make your ensemble look sophisticated. It will look good regardless of the fact that you are wearing denims or pants. College going students need to prepare for all occasions including formal presentations to casual parties. This outfit gives a perfect balance between formal and casual. Not only are they comfortable but look stylish as well.
Another thing you should keep in mind is the shoes. Avoid wearing sports shoes and try opting for suede ones instead. It is a brilliant element of your wardrobe as they can go with everything. A man will look his best if he has a nice pair of shoes. That is why it is a complete wardrobe essential.
If you want an outfit for a date, you can wear v – necked T-shirts and sweaters with a pattern along with jeans. This will make you look great and not overdressed. Also, do not forget to use a perfume as women get attracted to men who smell good.
Always ensure that you are versatile with your clothing. Since there are numerous preppy clothing brands for men, try to take advantage of it. It does become a bit difficult due to the fact that men do not have a lot of choices as compared to women. But act smart and you will do it right.

MWEB GameZone writer, James Wernich takes a look at why mobile gaming may very well be bigger than what he had anticipated. Is mobile gaming going to compete with other handhelds, or will it simply be a social gaming tool?
To be honest, I think it's going to stay a social gaming thing. Personally I think that bigger is better :D
I've been saying for ages, mobile gaming is The Thing. It's easier, more convenient, more comfortable, much better prices etc etc.
I really don't enjoy mobile gaming. I mean temple run, plants vs zombies, fruit ninja and even angry birds didn't tickle my fancy.
I can see how people can enjoy them, its just not my cup of tea.

We want to thank you for all of the messages, emails, cards, and hugs as we continue to walk through this journey of grief and healing – especially in remembering our babies birthdate. Each one of them has brought much comfort and peace, knowing we do not walk alone.
Getting away last Friday was what we needed. Someone told us recently that we will always miss them, but time does bring healing as well – we are a testament to that. I feel God has brought much healing in our lives over the past 8-9 months.What a blessing! Though there will still be difficult days, we know that God is holding us in His hands and wrapping us in His arms. We are not only feeling the love physically, but also in our hearts.
Someone sent me this poem in a message and I asked my friend if I could share it because the words were so beautiful!
The world may never notice if a rosebud doesn't bloom
or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon
but every life
that ever forms or ever comes to be
that ever forms or ever comes to be
touches the world in some small way for all eternity
the little one we
longed for
longed for
was swiftly here
and gone
and gone
but the love that was then planted
is a light that still shines on
and though our arms are empty
our hearts know what to do
every beating of our heart says,
We will remember you
We feel our babies have touch our world in large and small ways – forever. They are living forever! The love we have for them still shines on – it always will.
Here are some flowers that we were given last week in remembrance of Mother's Day and also our babies. We are so thankful for a "family" here who loves and cares for us so deeply. We feel so blessed. Praising God for His provision in our lives!

Staining to match4/20
I don't usually use a lot of wood stains, mostly clearcoats, either MLC CV's or sometimes Target's waterbase 8000 CV.on natural woods. I'm working on some cherry cabinetry that needs to come close the Owner's Stickley cherry furniture. I'm thinking about using MLC spray and wipe stain if I can find a color chart to get some color ideas from. What do any of you prefer for staining when trying to match up to a piece? Also thinking I may be better off spraying a thinned coat of shellac to control any blotching but I guess I'll be playing with a few scraps first. The biggest problem seems to be gallons are the smallest size available locally and I hate to buy half a dozen gallens trying to hone in on the right color. Make any sense to buy some tints to zero in the best color match? I appreciate any advice.
We use mlc lacquers only , and I know my local rep will try and make a match if you bring in a door or drawer front
I use the MLC and Valspar finishes. Both suppliers have a tint specialist. I take them a sample piece and they match their product to the piece. MLC's tint specialist has always done a great job. When they get close, they provide a sample in a small jar to test. usualy have it ready in less than 48 hrs.
I take it your suppliers don't have tint specialist.
Joe, I'll be talking to my rep this morning, but I think if there is one he's about 2 hrs. away, plus the only sample I have is a piece of their furniture. I'll see what he suggests. Thanks.
My MLC supplier is 20 min away. I take items in. My Val Spar supplier is 2 hrs away and the Rep picks up and brings back. Or their truck which deliverers to the area every day will pick it up, no charge.
Joe, you can trust me, they charge you. Don't think you aren't paying for that service somehow. What are you paying for a gallon of custom matched stain? How does it compare to the stock colors they offer?
Valspar Charges $47.75 for a gallon of Stain. To do a color match they add $3.00 per gallon. Total $50.75. They give me samples to test in my equipment. Once I select a match, I pay $50.75.
Either the the outside field rep will meet their truck and bring it to me or their Valspar specialist will bring it by if he is in area. Occasionally the driver will call me and I will meet him and pickup. That way not delivery and Fuel charge. This price is the same even if I have a large delivery and no delivery charge is added.
They do this because they are very good with customer service.
I usually have the samples the next day.
MLC I will have to research. The supplier charges more for everything. I'm thinking it's about $7.00 more.
