Imagine yourself as a storeowner with 1,000 visitors per day. Your store has a good amount of foot traffic coming through, sales associates are busy helping customers, and everyone is able to find what they are looking for. Now imagine that over 600 of those people went to your checkout counter with a product, made it all the way to the register, and then mysteriously put their product(s) down on the counter and left without making a purchase. Now try to imagine not saying anything to that customer to win them back and letting them walk right out the door!
Shopping Cart Abandonment: The Struggle is Real
If you have an eCommerce site this is the reality you are faced with every day. A 2014 study by Fireclick showed that over 60% of visitors to an eCommerce site added something to their shopping cart, but never completed their order. And depending on your company this could mean millions of dollars left in shopping carts each and every day!
This is what we call shopping cart abandonment, and I am here to show you how you can recover some of those sales through a Shopping Cart Abandonment (SCA) email marketing campaign.
With a variety of different email marketing solutions out there, the complexity and capability of your shopping cart abandonment campaign can vary drastically, but the overall strategy remains fairly constant for those using it. Here are my 4 things to consider for a successful SCA campaign.
Your SCA emails should contain enough engaging information to convince the customer to return to the site and complete their purchase. Below are some of the main points to consider when creating a shopping cart abandonment email.
- Product Images: Since online shopping is so visually based, be sure to entice those potential return customers with images of "the one that got away" – i.e. the product they abandoned
- Call to Action: This call to action should be a link back to your shopping cart. Lots of retailers make the mistake of assuming that a link on the product photo will suffice, but best practice is to include checkout-like button in the email such as Complete Order or Return to Cart.
- Customer testimonials (when applicable): Never under estimate the power of customer testimonials. If you are not a powerful brand that supersedes the reliance on customer testimonials, then a few positive reviews can help wonders to get people back to their cart.
- Contact Information: Most customers abandon a cart due to unanticipated costs or a lack of information. Help to combat this by giving them an opportunity to reach out directly to your company with any questions or concerns.
- Humor: Shopping cart abandonment might not be new to you reading this, but it is definitely something that the average consumer doesn't know exists. These shopping cart abandonment emails are seen as a pleasant surprise to people receiving them for the first time, so if humor fits into your overall branding go ahead and use it!
The average Shopping Cart Abandonment campaigns sends 1-3 email follow-ups to clients over the course of 3-7 days with varying wait times in between. Some of the more common frequencies seen in SCA campaigns today is:
- First email sent within 24 hours
- Another email sent after 72 hours – if no action made on previous email
- A final email after 5-7 business days – if no action made on previous email
Tracking Opens and Activity– When designing and building your SCA campaign you will want to be sure to track opens and clicks to keep track of people who actually open and click through the email. Once someone has opened and clicked through an SCA email you generally want to terminate any subsequent sends to avoid frustrating a customer or making them feel like your SCA emails are 'spammy' instead of helpful.
The decision on whether or not to include a promotion or discount on your SCA follow-up emails has been a popular debate in eCommerce circles recently. There is a common thought that if you include discounts in your follow up emails you can actually hurt your conversion. This happens by word-of-mouth where your potential customers have become aware of this easy to obtain discount and would rather leave an item in their cart for a possible discount rather than simply purchasing the product the first time.
This is, of course, more likely to happen for larger and more powerful brands, since they have larger market penetration, higher social media engagement, and are generally seen by more people than your smaller websites. However this is a pattern that can happen to any website, so be sure to put some thought into this topic.

Just like every other aspect of your eCommerce website be sure to track your data and review your analytics! There is valuable information to be gained when you review and analyze your data, and optimizing your SCA campaigns frequency, content or discounts to suit your businesses needs is normally quite simple regardless of the platform you are using.
In considering these 4 pillars, and utilizing your own marketing research and existing business knowledge, you will be able to properly engage those customers who left items in their cart and generate revenue, which would otherwise be lost. Be sure to put thought into your campaign, and be sure to monitors its results for continued success. You can do it!

The Long Island quartet's melding of chant-along choruses with hardcore breakdowns and subtly danceable flourishes may not make for easy genre-placement, but along with a proclivity for mixed-media album art, it's just another arena in which the consummate line-blurrers blend the best of all possible worlds.

Neo-Conned! (Vol. 1) and Neo-Conned! Again (Vol. 2). Edited by D.L. O'Huallachain and J. Forrest Sharpe. IHS Press. 447 pages. $25.95.
Do true conservatives, Catholic conservatives, and other Catholics support the war on Iraq? Going by these two volumes, they don't.
The first volume is dedicated to Just War principles. In this volume you will find articles by Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran, Tom Fleming, Paul Gottfried, our own James Hanink, Edward Peters, Keith Fournier, John Rao, Paul Likoudis, and Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani. Of particular interest are: "Might Is Not Right: Why Preventive War' Is Immoral" by Fr. Juan Carlos Iscara, "Epistemic Inadequacy, Catholic Just-War Criteria and the War in Iraq" by Thomas Ryba, and "Iraq: Sovereignty and Conscience" by James Hanink.
The second volume is about the illegality and injustice of the war on Iraq. You will find articles by Robert Fisk, Justin Raimondo, Claes G. Ryn, Robert Hickson, and Mark and Louise Zwick. Of particular interest are: "Neoconservatives, Israel, and 9/11: The Origins of the U.S. War on Iraq" by Stephen Sniegoski, "A Real Hijacking: The Neoconservative Fifth Column and the War in Iraq" by Justin Raimondo, and "The Iraq War and the Vatican" by Mark and Louise Zwick.
IHS Press is a Catholic publisher, and these volumes show that Catholics are able to place their Faith above whatever country they happen to live in. German Catholics have been blasted for not doing enough to oppose Hitler's wars, and Pope Pius XII has been implicated, rightly or wrongly. Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) opposed the invasion of Iraq, and a good number of American orthodox Catholics did so too.
When the history of the war on Iraq is written, those neocon Catholics who supported it will be held up to ridicule, discrediting the Catholic Faith. Ah, but there were other Catholics who opposed the war, many of whom appear in these two volumes, who bring credit to our Catholic Faith.

Andrew Mitchell MP and Malcolm Cornish spent last Saturday morning on a visit to Boldmere as the local Vesey Councillor announced a further investment of £80,000 for the area.
Malcolm Cornish and Sutton's MP talked to shoppers and shopkeepers as they commended the significant progress that has been made in transforming the neighbourhood in Boldmere over the past three years. This further investment will allow for the completion of the network of pavements owned by the Council up to Antrobus Road. Ongoing maintenance continues to take place and new dustbins have recently been installed.
The pair popped in on recently opened new businesses as well as long established outlets.
Andrew Mitchell MP said, ''The variety of new shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants justifies the significant investment that has recently been ploughed into Boldmere. Malcolm Cornish and his fellow Councillors have worked tirelessly to improve this area for local residents and I want to pay tribute today to the hard work both Malcolm Cornish and his colleagues have put in.
"The local high street should be at the very heart of every community, bringing people together, providing essential services and creating jobs and investment – and Boldmere is doing just that. The local business community deserves great credit for working with residents and their local Councillors to ensure that Boldmere is a success."

Boyfriend or Best Friend and I are going on 10 months since we've seen each other. We were planning a visit a lot earlier but it keeps getting pushed back because we just don't have the money. I think that is what is driving my crankiness right now.
He's in a foreign country at the moment and he went for business so he's alone tonight. He said he was looking forward to having some privacy tonight so we could have a long video chat and I was too. He called me an hour and a half ago from a cafe saying that he was having a drink by himself and that he would go back to the hotel soon and call me from there. I guess I don't understand why he's spending so much time hanging out at a cafe by himself. If he were with friends that would be a different story and I would certainly want him to hang out for as long as he was having fun. But him being by himself makes me a little paranoid that he's feeling disconnected and is trying to avoid me. Everything in our relationship is good and all our interactions today have been normal, but I know the distance has been hard on him lately and it's making me nervous. I miss him so, so much.

Business Sustainability Typology
The Business Sustainability Typology (Dyllick & Muff 2016) offers a practical approach to evaluate different levels of integration of sustainability in business. As such, it provides an answer to the difficult question of what business sustainability actually means and how to differentiate between beginning, intermediate and advanced levels in business practice.
The framework classifies companies to different types based on their efforts to move from "business-as-usual" to "true business sustainability", and thus provides a framework to engage in the transformation of business. The typology for business sustainability is further explained in the following video.
The Business Sustainability Typology classififies organizations into the four caterogies described below:
Business as usual: This paradigm is based on a purely economic view of the firm and the business processes. The underlying assumption is that typical economic concerns (e.g. access to cheap resources, efficient processes, striving for a strong market position) are pursued to produce economic value in the form of profit, market value or, more generally, shareholder value.
BST 1.0: In this first phase of sustainability the relevant concerns considered by business mostly shift from purely economic concerns to include social and environmental concerns related to sustainability issues faced by society. As the values created remain firmly attached to the generation of shareholder value, this is not more than a "refined shareholder value.
BST 2.0: In the second phase the value created by business shifts from shareholder value to a broadened value proposition including people, planet, and profit. This results in a "management of the triple bottom line" approach.
BST 3.0: In this third phase the organizational perspective shifts from an inside‐out perspective, with a focus on the business, to an outside‐in perspective, with a focus on society and the sustainability challenges it is facing. This shift results in the associated redefinition of strategies being driven by sustainability challenges thus reframing the business concerns and business models, as well as the associated redefinition in values created.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Crystal Indentation Hardness)
AbstractThere is expanded interest in the long-standing subject of the hardness properties of materials. A major part of such interest is due to the advent of nanoindentation hardness testing systems which have made available orders of magnitude increases in load and displacement measuring capabilities achieved in a continuously recorded test procedure. The new results have been smoothly merged with other advances in conventional hardness testing and with parallel developments in improved model descriptions of both elastic contact mechanics and dislocation mechanisms operative in the understanding of crystal plasticity and fracturing behaviors. No crystal is either too soft or too hard to prevent the determination of its elastic, plastic and cracking properties under a suitable probing indenter. A sampling of the wealth of measurements and reported analyses associated with the topic on a wide variety of materials are presented in the current Special Issue. View Full-Text

By Jay Forte, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The total taxes paid in the telecommunications sector last year totaled R$64 million, according to the Brazilian Telecommunications Association (Telebrasil). The amount is six percent higher than in 2015, despite a drop in user base in Brazil.
Among taxes, what has the greatest impact on telecommunications services accounts is the Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS), collected by the state governments.
Last year, R$34 billion in ICMS were collected from the industry, equivalent to 8.4 percent of all states' revenues from this tax across segments.
In 2016, taxes accounted for 47 percent of net revenue in fixed, broadband cellular and pay TV services, compared to 43 percent in the previous year. For Telebrasil, tax relief, especially ICMS, could contribute to the increased access to telecommunications services, especially in broadband.
"With less taxes, services would be more accessible to citizens and micro-enterprises, allowing the faster social inclusion of more Brazilians and thereby increasing the potential of production and better distribution of national wealth," says the entity.
In March, it was reported that the number of active cell lines in Brazil fell by 5.38 percent in January, compared to the same month last year, according to the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), mainly due to the country's economic crisis.
Billy D. Aldea-Martinez, Regional Director for Latin America of technology provider Piano Software Inc., shares that since the crisis, "The only industry that has shown growth is online and it's really the only place the Brazilian Government can tax to support itself and other key private industries such as media, at the expense of making internets services accessible to all Brazilians."
The economy also contributed to the a decline in the number of pay-TV customers in country. Data from ANATEL released last month shows that pay-TV subscriptions fell by 1.91 percent between January of 2016 and January of 2017, with a reduction of 364,400 subscribers.
At the time the country has 18.69 million pay-TV customers, with satellite technology being the medium with the largest number of subscribers, 10.6 million customers, followed by cable TV with 7.7 million.
In December the ABTA (Brazilian Association of Paid TV Services) reported that not only is the number of Pay TV subscribers decreasing, the rate of non-payment of monthly fees by current subscribers is also rising.
"Clearly, the activity [Pay TV] is being affected by the economic scenario and expectations," said Oscar Simões, president of ABTA told a government news agency.

July 9: 2:45
July 9, 2014 | Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit
2:45?? Yes, 2:45am: the time we all awoke today to witness an event full of life, spirit, and beauty…the sunrise at Masada! Last night our teens had the opportunity to experience the Bedouin culture, complete with camels, hospitality, and sleeping outside in a large tent. We did some meditation under the stars (and WOW there were more than we've ever seen up north in Michigan), sang with the guitar, and roasted marshmallows on the big bonfire. Bedtime was before 11pm since we had to wake up before 3am. Some of us were a bit tired and cranky in the morning but after a great hike up the Snake Path, all of us convened on the top of the historical fortress.
After our climb and a much needed breakfast, we made our way to Arad to see the Machtesh Gadol, a beautiful crater in the Negev. We then continued to the city of Yerucham where we had a home-cooked lunch in the residents' houses and heard stories about their city. Needless to say, we ate until we couldn't eat anymore…It was a very good thing we headed to the kibbutz immediately after!
Tonight will be an early night at Kibbutz Meshabai Sadeh both to make up some sleep we missed last night and also in preparation for our active and fun filled day tomorrow in the Negev (did someone say snappelling?!).
Stay tuned for some great photos of our teens and their exploration of this beautiful country.

text: There's been a thread or two around the white seats as even myself has been curious how they hold up for cleanliness and beyond that I've seen some folks mention leather creasing. With the white any creasing would be hard to notice but on something like black it will stand out much more. I placed my Model X order on 12/31 waiting until the last minute and while I've chosen black interior. I'm still 50/50 between black and white hence curious how black is doing in the long run for the larger population. Can I ask folks to post up pics of your black leather seats for how they look and in your post share how many miles you may have since it helps?

Hi, i am trying to find a good final year project to do which is relevant to the modules im studying and course (bsc software development).
I've thought of making an Online Backup Application / Manager which would facilitate the storing of files online with various other functions such as:
- Being able to upload your music, pictures, videos and other important documents.
- Able to download these back off the server
- Possibility to stream music or video and open pics and documents (in a seperately designed application) without having to download
- User friendly GUI
- Detailed file properties area (name, size, access etc)
- Public, private, friends/family or business access rights to certain files
- able to have multiple accounts - each user has their own user/password
- possibly some kind of file sharing between accounts?
- files stored in a database (sql server or mysql)
Can people give me some advice as to how i might go about developing this; does it sound like a suitable project? would it be easy/hard to make? (particularly file sharing), best place to store files online? 3 tier architecture? and what technologies would be best to use? (i have in mind: Asp.Net/C#/Java, Visual Studio 2005, PHP?, sql server or mysql?)
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Julian

- Automatic scrap charging
- Thermal gasification of organic content by heating the scrap in a hot-gas-flow to approx. 400 – 500 °C.
During this phase the aluminium is not melted, as the temperature of the hot-gas-flow is at all times below the melting temperature.
- Combustion and post combustion, due to the constant high of gasified organics takes place in all chambers of the furnace. The gasified hydro-carbons contribute to the energy input of the melting process. The main chamber of the furnace is well suited for post combustion because of the constant high furnace chamber temperature (>900 °C) and the controlled furnace atmosphere.
- Melting of preheated scrap is exclusively by contact with liquid melt (submerged melting process). An electromagnetic liquid metal pump transports sufficient melt to the scrap to assure the necessary melting energy supply. This method of melting results in the lowest metal loss.
- Near continuous heating - charging and melting activities do not interrupt main burner operation.
- The majority of the melting-energy is introduced to the melt in the main chamber in the form of radiant heat. The use of a regenerator system ensures high combustion efficiency with low energy consumption. (< 600 kWh/ton)
Despite strategic design criteria, detailed furnace design is flexible to meet individual specifications and capacities.
Ecomelt PR (preheat ramp)
Scrap is charged with a charging machine onto the dry hearth ramp for preheating and gasification of organics. Thereafter the scrap heap is pushed into the melt bath by the charging machine or an integrated scrap pusher.
An electromagnetic liquid metal pump circulates the melt between the furnace chambers, thereby providing necessary energy to melt the scrap.
The time to thoroughly preheat the entire scrap heap to approximately 500°C depends on scrap type and density.
For proper preheating of the charged scrap and gasification of organic compounds, the furnace design includes provisions for intense hot gas circulation as well as additional hot gas nozzles in the furnace roof.
The average scrap preheat time is 30 minutes per charge. A furnace with 6 tons/hour melt rate (120 tons/day) therefore requires two charging cycles of 3 tons each, per hour.
Furnace capacity: 30 - 120 tons
Melting rate: 3 - 6 tons/hour (60 - 120 tons/day)
Ecomelt PS (preheat shaft)
This furnace type is well suited for efficient and economic melting of class 3 scrap including painted profiles with thermal break, baled litho sheets, UBC etc. with organic compounds up to 10% at high melt rates.
With Ecomelt PR and PC furnaces the production rate is limited to the scrap quantity of one batch load. The Ecomelt PS type furnace accepts several batch loads in the preheat compartment, thus a melting capacity of 12tons/hour (240tons/day) is achieved. Specific Energy consumption is as low as 370 - 450 kWh/ton.
Scrap is loaded with a payloader into bins. The charging crane takes one full bin at the time and charges the scrap load. Hot air from the melt chamber is circulated through the scrap in upward direction and back to the melt chamber.
The long retention time of scrap inside the preheat shaft ensures adequate preheating and thorough gasification of organic compounds even for problematic (baled) scrap. Pyrolysis gas is generated quite gradually, whereby gas generation can be regulated with the intensity of the re-circulating hot air flow (controlled by the fan speed).
Pyrolysis gases are ducted to the main chamber of the furnace for combustion whereby the inherent energy of volatile hydrocarbons is thermally reclaimed, to contribute to the energy needed for melting.
Melting of scrap is started by raising of the melt bath level at the preheating/melting chamber with the liquid metal pump, thereby flooding the chamber.
An outstanding feature is the "foot" of the scrap pile, which is at all times immersed during melting. The constant metal flow, generated by the electromagnetic pump, ensures a steady melt rate. Due to the submersion melt process metal loss from oxidation is reduced to a minimum.
Ecomelt PC (preheat chamber)
This furnace type has been developed particularly for efficient remelting of long, painted profile scrap containing plastic thermal break yet without prior shredding and grading of profiles.
The specific fuel gas consumption varies from 370 to 450 kWh/ton of aluminium during continuous operation.
The gasification compartment is an elevated chamber across the furnace roof with the capacity to match the scrap load of one scrap bin. The charge is then compressed by a block integrated in the hood of the compartment.
A very intense flow of hot gases is forced through the scrap load from one end. The hot gases pass through the charge in longitudinal direction. On the entry side the temperature of the gases is marginally below melting point.
The heating and gasification starts at the hot gas entry side and during a period of 15 to 25 minutes the heat front gradually moves through the entire charge. Formation of pyrolysis gases is therefore not a sudden process, but gases are rather released gradually at a rate that permits controlled combustion.
Automatic charging of metal is performed with a number of scrap bins circulating on a two level bin conveyor and a bin elevator. This concept also serves as a buffer with a storage capacity of approximately 12 tons, equivalent to 2 hours of melting. Scrap loading is done in loading position by payloader or fork truck. An integrated scale takes the net weight of the scrap load. Typical load weight is 2 to 3 tons.
Full bins are moved onto an entry accumulator from where they are lifted by the elevator to the furnace top. Upon automatic opening of the two flaps which form the bottom of a bin, the scrap load drops into the gasification compartment of the furnace.

I promised you guys an update!
As I mentiond in my previous post, my boyfriend slept on the couch last night. So I woke him up this morning with kisses and told him I was sorry for fighting with him. He apologized also and said he felt pretty bad about it all night.
He said he was only upset because my surprise was completely ruined. Huh? I said what surprise? Then he gave me a look like, "Don't play dumb." But I had no idea what he was talking about. So finally he said, "The folder! The bank statement was in the folder with the ring ideas in it. I know you saw it, there's no way you could've missed it."
I told him I had no idea what he was talking about because I didn't notice a folder, let alone open a folder so the bank statement must have fallen out. He's was like, "Oh."
He explained that he was secretly saving the money so that he could take me on a vacation and surprise me with an engagement ring.
I feel so guilty! I completely ruined his surprise. But he did show me the engagement ring ideas and I LOVE THEM!!!!!
So that's the update! We're both happy now. We discussed the money issues and we're totally on the same page. This was a huge misunderstanding and we both blew it way out of proportion and we realize that now. Oh, and I made him promise me that he'll never sleep on the couch like that again. haha.
Thank you bees for all your help!

Coyote Hunting with Silencerco Suppressors Looks Like Fun!
Suppressors and coyote hunting are a match made in heaven.
While restrictions abound on the legal methods of take for big game animals across the country, rules on coyote hunting weapons are much less restrictive.
In this video from Silencerco, we get to witness a software guru taking his first coyote on the wide open prairies of Utah. With the aid of a Silencerco suppressor and an experienced song dog killer, this big dog doesn't stand a chance.
Watch the video to see how this hunter's first predator hunt unfolded.
Coyote hunting is a great way to get out and hunt once big game seasons have closed. You'll also feel good knowing that you've done a favor for your local deer, turkeys, and livestock by eliminating one of their main predators.
While most folks hunt coyotes strictly for their hides, we've seen evidence that they are edible and, if properly prepared, they might even taste good. It's up to you what you do with your 'yote once it's down, but there's no doubt that predator hunting is a lot of wintertime fun.

Exeem is better than kazaa, because in the kazaa there are alote of publish, and in exeem no.
Now im creating this site: http://www.exeemdown.com
Released as a public beta this past weekend, eXeem is a new Peer-To-Peer (P2P) file sharing program that uses a similar download and upload component as BitTorrent. In less than 3 days, nearly 200,000 people have downloaded eXeem. The company behind eXeem is Swarm Systems, the same company that operated the heavily attacked BitTorrent file source SuprNova that was closed down in December 2004.
However, eXeem's supposedly adware-free brand-new alternative, eXeem Lite, deservedly got considerable buzz as well.
Many people, including me, have a problem with Cydoor for the bad reputation it has built for itself. According to some, Cydoor is one of the most offensive and insidious ad-serving operations on the web.
This is why the eXeem Lite version is interesting.
eXeem Lite was created by an independent developer and supposedly does not include ads. But even this version may indeed contain some spyware/adware according to recent user comments. I strongly invite you to check out the discussion thread on Slashdot about this.
The development of eXeem Lite is very similar to what has happened to Kazaa, which has seen many a clone spring up (Kazaa Lite), thus leveraging the high demand of people who didn't want to have any spyware or adware software installed on their PCs.
Notwithstanding the issues of spyware and adware, eXeem and its lighter brethrens deserve credit for the following innovations:
Issues and possible problems
Downloads can be both very fast as well as quite slow. There are a few specific factors affecting donwload performance and they come down to these:
When eXeem says "awaiting peers" in the transfer window it means that there are no other users who are downloading or uploading the file that you want to download. This sometimes happens if there is only one "seeder" uploading that file, and if she is unavailable you may have to wait for her to come back online.
eXeem has been tested with a good number of firewalls including:
Please note that eXeem might not connect to the network if you are behind NAT and your ports are not forwarded correctly. The problem might also be that you have a firewall installed and you did not put it on your allow list.
eXeem works on Windows XP SP2, 98, ME, 2000. If it does not want to run on 98/ME or 2000, try installing Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime files from Service Pack 5. There are currently no versions of eXeem for Linux or Mac, though, according to the eXeem site FAQ a Linux version will be developed once the Windows one is officially released.
eXeem is free, but ad-supported using Cydoor and the LookSmart toolbar for Internet Explorer (optional install). According to the eXeem privacy statement, the Cydoor ad-delivery system is closely integrated with eXeem and cannot be uninstalled.

Former Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive Sir Fred Goodwin has taken out an injunction banning newspapers from calling him a banker, an MP claimed yesterday.
Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming used Parliamentary privilege to name the former bank chief as the man who went to court to stop media outlets referring to his former role.
Hemming, MP for Birmingham Yardley, told MPs at Business Questions in the Commons: "In a secret hearing, Fred Goodwin has obtained a super-injunction preventing him being identified as a banker."
MPs should be given the chance to discuss the increasing use of super-injunctions by the rich and famous, he said.
He asked: "Will the Government have a debate or a statement on the issue of freedom of speech and whether there is one law for the rich, such as Fred Goodwin, and another law for the poor?"
Leader of the House Sir George Young said a forthcoming Westminster Hall debate would explore freedom of speech, adding: "I will raise with the appropriate minister the issue he has just raised."
But Sir George warned MPs about addressing legal proceedings and court responsibilities, saying: "I think any minister would be cautious about commenting on that."

25 October 2018 - Events
Earlier this month, the Truman Old Brewery in East London was host to Millennial 20/20, a two day summit that looks at how companies of all scales are adapting to ensure ongoing engagement with the ever-changing consumer.
The Power of the Crowd
Day one included a session on the power of the crowd to shape the finance sector. Crowdfunding is demanding increasing levels of attention from companies looking to raise funds and adapt their business direction and values accordingly. At the same time, the demands of the crowd are also having a big influence in the personal banking market such as mobile technology platforms that enable the consumer to transfer money without the need to visit a bank or even have a bank account.
This area is still developing as financial regulation tries to keep up and the misconception that sending money by mobile may be less secure or trustworthy. However, WorldRemit, one of the companies attending the event, cited that there are two billion people in the world who are "unbanked" and one billion of those has a mobile phone. This illustrates the tangible impact that mobile banking technology can have.
Day two saw one of the youngest and one of the oldest CTOs in the UK take the stage. The panel delved into the advances in technology in the last several decades and what's in store in the future. The panelists, Dominic Cameron (ex PhotoBox) and Mohammed Ali, agreed that user demand will lead to greater integration between platforms and increased use of artificial intelligence, which will require increasing amounts of data being constantly gathered from users.
Ali stated that he would rather have data in the bank than money, and yet despite the value of data today, the panelists recognized that users are sensitive about how that data is used. They all agreed that consumers will push for more protection from governments and data-handlers, such as the General Data Protection Regulation, which will come into effect in all EU member states in May 2018.
The crowd power focus was also seen in the types of exhibitors at the event, with services geared towards influencer or peer marketing. This draws on the theory that millennial consumers are more likely to engage with a product, service or experience through a review or photo from someone like them rather than by looking at professional marketing materials.
In keeping with the power of the crowd theme, as part of the end of summit awards ceremony, indaHash, an app that allows digital influences to earn money by participating in brand campaigns on their social media profiles, won the consumer award at the event.

Show 93 Audio interview with David Gelernter author of Americanism The fourth great western religion. Dennis Prager interviews him followed by Michael Medved.
What does it mean to "believe? in America? Why do we always speak of our country as having a mission or purpose that is higher than other nations? Modern liberals have invested a great deal in the notion that America was founded as a secular state, with religion relegated to the private sphere. David Gelernter argues that America is not secular at all, but a powerful religious idea—indeed, a religion in its own right. Gelernter argues that what we have come to call "Americanism? is in fact a secular version of Zionism. Not the Zionism of the ancient Hebrews, but that of the Puritan founders who saw themselves as the new children of Israel, creating a new Jerusalem in a new world. Their faith-based ideals of liberty, equality, and democratic governance had a greater influence on the nation's founders than the Enlightenment. Gelernter traces the development of the American religion from its roots in the Puritan Zionism of seventeenth-century New England to the idealistic fighting faith it has become, a militant creed dedicated to spreading freedom around the world. The central figures in this process were Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson, who presided over the secularization of the American Zionist idea into the form we now know as Americanism. If America is a religion, it is a religion without a god, and it is a global religion. People who believe in America live all over the world. Its adherents have included oppressed and freedom-loving peoples everywhere—from the patriots of the Greek and Hungarian revolutions to the martyred Chinese dissidents of Tiananmen Square. Gelernter also shows that anti-Americanism, particularly the virulent kind that is found today in Europe, is a reaction against this religious conception of America on the part of those who adhere to a rival religion of pacifism and appeasement. A startlingly original argument about the religious meaning of America and why it is loved—and hated—with so much passion at home and abroad. Podcast rating is 5 out of 10. 72 min 16MB.

Fortuny Floor Lamp by Pallucco
Product ID: 20859
Original Price: $5,400Our Price: $1,800
1 in stock
The Fortuny floor lamp is considered a contemporary yet timeless icon; a camera tripod inspired the base with an adjustable central leg, and Fortuny designed an 'upside down' tilting shade — unheard of in 1907. The modern Fortuny light maintains its iconic design, and features framework in profiled steel channel section, drawn flat bar and tubular steel, featuring a lacquered epoxy powder finish. The lamp height can be adjusted between 75 and 94 inches, and features a dimmer switch on the cord for easy access.
The modernity of the Fortuny floor lamp is fresh a century later, with exceptional design reflecting its conceptual core: an efficiently redefined task show light for the stage. Celebrated by his contemporaries as the last Renaissance man, Mariano Fortuny said "It is not the quantity, but the quality of light, that makes things visible". The Fortuny lamp is a fine example.

Consider these the best trees to plant in a large yard or landscape. For a smaller yard, you might be better served using these perfectly beautiful smaller trees. Although there are dozens of great trees from which to pick, I have taken some of the subjectivity out to give you reasonable choices. I am certain any one of these ten trees will earn itself a place of pride in your yard. Still, you should pay close attention to each tree's characteristics and use my information to make your final selection. The Most Popular Trees I've reviewed the popular literature for you, polled my About Forestry forum and the Internet for the most popular trees and compiled these frequently requested trees to use as a starting place. By further studying the commercial appeal of each of these individual species and taking into account horticulturists' praise I selected my ten best. One other criterion I set is, the tree has to be native to North America with large ranges and do well in and around those ranges. Exotics tend to have two-edged problems: they either express later health problems (insects, disease, brittle) or quickly become a green scourge that threatens native trees and plants. Sometimes they have both problems. These trees become very large and need a large yard or landscape. Try my Best 10 Small Trees for a small yard. I also provide A Guide to Tree Planting to help you after you've selected your tree. You might want to find out how much you really know about planting and taking care of your tree through that first critical year. Take my Wellness Quiz. Take The Tree Wellness Quiz My Best Tree Picks All of the trees selected here have been screened to make a great yard tree within the limits of their potential habit and growth constraints. I think you will be pleased and satisfied when planting each and every one of these trees: Red Maple - "The red, red maple. Native to the wet soils of America's eastern half, it has become one of the Nation's favorite - if not the hardiest - street trees."- Arthur Plotnik, The Urban Tree BookYellow Poplar or Tuliptree - "Easily recognized because of its unique leaf, this native species enjoys near cosmopolitan distribution. It is hard not to bump into a tu lip tree in the course of one's horticultural travels."- Michael Dirr, Dirr's Hardy Trees and ShrubsRed and White Oak - "Amoung the 600 or so oak species...an elite few of these, in the right place at the right time, have inspired the kind of awe and legend attached to gods and heroes. Such trees are mainly of the white oak group." - Arthur Plotnik, The Urban Tree Book"Flowering Dogwood" - "The king of spring in the eastern United States and southern Ontario, flowering dogwood may be the most spectacular flowering tree native to our region." - Guy Sternberg, Native Trees for North American Landscapes.Sycamore - "A great and noble tree."- Michael Dirr, Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs American Elm - "It is massive, long-lived, tough, easy to grow, adaptable and blessed with an arching, wine-glass-like silhouette, making it the perfect street tree." - Guy Sternberg, Native Trees for North American LandscapesRiver Birch - "'Heritage' river birch is an excellent selection with superior vigor, larger leaves, and greater resistance to leaf spot."- Michael Dirr, Dirr's Hardy Trees and ShrubsAmerican Holly - "Considered by many gardeners the finest tree-type evergreen holly. Over the years, more than 1000 cultivars have been named."- Michael Dirr, Dirr's Hardy Trees and ShrubsRedbud - "Can be used for every imaginable landscape situation..". Michael Dirr, Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs"Conifers" No Tree Is Perfect Remember, all yard trees can have both good and bad characteristics. It is a rare tree that will satisfy your needs throughout its entire lifespan on a given site. A tree can outgrow its original purpose very quickly or grow into its intended purpose very slowly. Understanding this concept is the key to proper tree planting in your yard. It is extremely important you understand that your tree needs early attention after planting and correct care and attention as it matures. You can permanently harm your tree by incorrect placement and improper care. 10 Bad Things We Do To TreesReconsider Planting These 10 Trees Continue Reading

Zoey's Attic's ADORABLE BABIES Ringer Tee Review
"This funny "i make adorable babies" shirt is perfect for the dad to be, new dad or as a father's day, birthday or christmas gift for dad. On this slightly slim cut, super soft and hip ringer tee, dad will love wearing this t shirt to the gym, running errands or even to wear in the hospital when the new little ones makes his or her appearance. Perfect for every man in your life for a great and unique father's day gift or special birthday gift for dad!"
When searching for a great Father's Day/Birthday present for the hubs, I found this shirt on Etsy. Ok. That's not the whole truth. I had originally found it on Pinterest. I had repinned it and thought to myself "perfect gift! – done". Well I was not. The pin that I had found was a dud. It had the picture with no link and no indication of where to find it. I totally panicked! So I sat on google scanning through the image search. Nada. I tried Etsy next. Found it!!! Then as I was making my purchase I noticed a grandpa shirt too! It was personalized to say Pop with the little 4 for the 4th power and all the grandbabies names on the back. Not only were these shirts awesome but they got here super fast!!! I will be back for sure!
I highly recommend!
Please note that I have not been paid or received free goods for this product review. I have not been asked to write this either. This has been done on my own with a product I chose to purchase from my pledge to buy homemade.

Is your marketing helping, hurting, or making no difference?
Take our quiz and find out!
It's all too easy to view dentistry as transactional – you provide services, and the patient and/or the insurance company pays you for your efforts. For dentists who market based on price, specials, and discounts, holding that view is understandable. But that view doesn't go nearly far enough if you want to grow your practice. Dentists today are assumed to be competent. Unless you give dental prospects reasons to choose you to solve their dental problems, there are any number of dentists with whom they can "transact business." Those patients are generally price-shoppers, ...Read More

One thing I can say about the young people at the Arkansas Arts Academy - they are pretty good dancers! They pick up the dances pretty quickly and had a pretty good time despite the fact that I wasn't playing any of music they usually listen and dance to.
The Tyson Elementary Back to Svhool night was , predictably, not as succesful. It felt like my dancing program was almost an afterthought - they had me set-up outside between the cafeteria and the gym (next to a bouncy-house!) Parents and students were walking through my dance floor - a rough, uneven slab of black asphalt - trying to get to this or that activity in the other venues, and while I did my best to coax parents to join the dancing I was leading, participation was limited to a handful of students for a couple of novelty dances... pretty disappointing.
Next Tuesday will be the first of 4 programs this month - my yearly Hoedown for the 2nd Graders at Mathias Elementary. This year I'll be working with a new Music Teacher, Brooka McCubbin. She is quite delighted to be able to continue the popular program again this year... I'm looking forward to it too!
A couple days later I will be hosting a Barn Dance at the Adult Wellness Center in Rogers. My friend and fellow bridge player Gail sold the idea to the Activity Director and word of mouth has created quite a bit of enthusiasm among the staff and members, so I am hopeful for a good turn out.
A week later will be the Harvest Festival for the Bentonville Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. This should be a great family activity for the church members and I hope it might grow into repeat performances.
Lasr on my calendar this month - and for that matter, the year - is a family birthday party/four generation Barn Dance. The guest of honor told her husband she want to whole family to do something special for her birthday - Square Dancing! I told him about my Barn Dance Program and he sold the idea to his whole family... even his 81yr old mother! This month should be a lot of fun!
Busy Fall schedule - Tyson Elementary has contracted for me to lead dances for their back-to-school night this month... this is always a challenging program to lead, since there are a variety of other activities going on, so participation is hit and miss at best.
The night before will be a Hoedown for the Arkansas Arts Academy 6th & 7th graders. This Fall Dance should be alot of fun for the kids, teachers, and chaperones. November has four events in the works - more on that later.
I'm just a dancing fool... care to join my foolishness?!?
Just a couple quick lines today - just got back from Broken Arrow First Baptist Church and what a night! Though the program did not go as long as I had planned, the smiling faces of the dancers touched my heart - parents and kids together, dancing together, laughing and clapping together, what a joy to be a part of! Hope to make this a yearly gig!
In the spring I had a successful school program - the Grace Hill Elementary Health & Fitness Family Night. While it was not a contained program... the school had a number of activities going on at once during the course of the evening and families could come and go at will, but I did get good participation for my dances, and the events coordinators gave me exclusive time for the Big Circle Dance at the end of the night - lots of fun!
Later this month I will be off to Broken Arrow to lead a program for the First Baptist Church Champions Camp - a group of physically and mentally challenged teens and young adults attending a week long camp hosted by the church. Their parents and families are coming to pick them up on Friday and I hope to get everyone up and dancing. Should be very rewarding and lots of fun.
No Foolin'! I'll be participating in the Grace Hill Elementary Health & Fitness Family Night on the 16th this month. Who would have thought dancing with your kids would be considered healthy!?! But seriously, I am hoping to get alot of parents and kids involved in my Barn Dance Program, even though there will be a number of venders and activities happening at the school that evening.
Also I volunteered to lead some all day programs for the Heritage Days at Tyson and Robert E Lee Elementary Schools - students will move from classroom to classroom to hear stories and see presentations of Arkansas's Heritage - farming, settlements, home life, religion, clothing, food, music and the arts, including me leading a program of dances that settlers did at weddings, festivals, and socials.
Another very successful 2nd grade Hoedown at Mathias Elementary last month. The kids and teachers had a great time, and I proved once again that a fifty + guy still has the stamina to dance circles around a bunch of second graders!
Not much happening this month dance wise - hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and great New Year!
Last Friday I traveled to Branson, MO to lead a Heritage Dance for Trinity Christian Academy. They had contacted me through Gig Salad looking for a dance instructor/square dance caller for their fund raiser Chicken Dinner and Hootenanny Dance. Their original idea was for me to come out to the school a few times and teach K-12 a suite of dances for them to perform at the event, but when they realized the cost involved for me to travel to the school on multiple days for the instruction and again on the 14th, we came to the resolution that my leading a Heritage Dance Program for the students, parents, and staff was the most economical (non-budget busting) solution for their fund raiser. Though not many of the parents participated, the kids had a great time and I believe the event was a great success.
Later this week I will again be leading the Annual Hoedown for the 2nd Grade Class at Mathais Elementary in Rogers. This is one of my favorite activities, and theirs too. Half the classes are in the cafeteria dancing with me (7 Jumps, Patty Cake Polka, La Raspa, etc), while the other half is entertained by a western singer/poet. After about 40 minutes, the groups switch and I teach the dances again. Then the entire group joins me for the finale - the Big Circle! Lots of fun!
I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season and a jig-a-long New Year!
Busy times! My wife & I enjoyed a two week cruise to Alaska on Princess the end of August. Great sights, great food, lots of relaxing, and lots of fun dancing together. We were on the floor showing off our steps nearly every evening. Just wish the bands on the ship had a bit more variety of music. If we got up and danced to a swing number, the next 4 songs they played were also swing, because that's what they thought we wanted. Waltz and tango were practically unheard of, but we did cha-cha to some upbeat tunes. The nightclub DJ played LOUD hip-hop music – not our style – but the Show Band did host a dance program on one night and they were GREAT – good tunes with lots of variety. All in all, a great trip.
Saturday September 6th had me traveling to Moscow, Tennessee, east of Memphis, to DJ/Dance Lead for a Wedding Reception. The bride & groom had done some square dancing in college and wanted to include it in their reception activities. It was lots of fun, with squares, the Virginia Reel, and the Patty Cake Polka danced to the "Aggies War Hymn" (the couple attended Texas A&M).
Later in the month I did a ballroom dance program at Apple Blossom again – a small turnout, but still a fun group. We did the Birdie (Chicken) dance, waltzes, tango, a polka, and played "Keep the Beat" from our seats. October is right around the corner, which means Octoberfest, Harvest Festivals, and Halloween Parties. If your group is looking for a fun activity, give me a call!
What a great time on the Fourth of July! The group at Camp Siloam was enthusiastic, fun-loving, and LOUD! My voice was a little ragged by the end of the evening, but there were lots of happy faces and tired feet on the floor. Just watching those young folks kick up their heels doing Cotton Eyed Joe kept me smiling all night long. The hall lighting was kind of dark, but I hope to have pictures and maybe some video posted from the event.
Looking forward to vacationing with my wife soon… hope your summer has been a fun one.
Tonight's the night! I'll be leading a Heritage dance program for the staff at Camp Siloam, a Christian youth camp just outside Siloam Springs. They are expecting about 60 to participate, most of them just out of High School and College students that are staff at the camp for the summer. There will also be some children of the directors, plus some seniors – a real inter-generational gathering of folks celebrating with music and dance (plus some games, food, and fireworks thrown in for good measure). This was the first event to be booked through my association with Gig Salad, and I hope this will continue to be a valuable connection for groups trying to find wholesome family activities.
School's out for the summer (yea) and that usually means lots of family activities, summer camp, and fun gatherings. Keep CBDanceman in mind when you are looking for a fun and unique activity for your family reunion, church group activity, day camp program, or company gathering.
Also, we have added Gig Salad to our association connections (see the link at the top of the page next to our logo). This link not only allows you to book our services online, but also to connect with other dance leaders, bands and musicians, DJ's, and entertainment specialists in our area and throughout the country. What a great resource!
Another program at Apple Blossom again this month! Sadly, Ruby, the director at the facility, will be relocating with her husband to the sister property in Fort Smith. She has been a friend and supporter for many years, and I hope we will stay connected, albeit long distance. I also hope to continue dance programs at Apple Blossom.
May 14th is National Chicken Dance Day, so get out on the dance floor, shake those tail feathers and flap those wings!
Happy New Year! Hope you have lots of dance dates to fill your calendar.
I have been contracted to entertain and dance with the seniors at Apple Blossom again this month. I'll be demonstrating and talking about the history of modern ballroom dancing, starting out with that scandalous couple dance The Waltz! Yes, Straus started it all with the first dance that actually had a man and woman dancing together with arms around each other. Lock up your daughters (and your maiden aunts), what will they think of next!?!
My wife and I went dancing at Mustangs Alley last Saturday and had a great time. The band there plays a nice combination of country and classic rock and roll, great for country line and couple dancing. They will also be hosting a special dance this Friday, December 6th at 7pm. Just $5 per couple! Can't beat that!
The Hoedown at Mathias Elementary in Rogers on November 22nd was a blast. This is the third year I have been invited to do a program as a part of their western studies. Almost 100 2nd Graders, their teachers, and I were clapping, skipping, heel & toeing, and circling around to the barn dance music of America's Heritage and, I hear, they are still talking about the fun they had. Looking forward to future programs for the school.
Hope that your holidays are merry & bright. Keep Dancing!
Halloween is here! The time of ghosts, goblins, fairy princesses, and super heros. Also the start of a soon to be hectic holiday season. Hope you have a chance to get down and boogy away those extra calories the candy and sweets and pies and goodies tend to bring.
Dance & Swing is hosting a Veteran's Day Dance on Saturday November 9th at Riodan Hall in Bella Vista. There will be great music from a live band. Check out their website link for more info.
I will be leading a Hoedown for the 2nd grade class at Mathias Elementary in Rogers this month. This is the third year I have been invited to do a program as a part of their western studies. It is always alot of fun and I am looking forward to it. The pictures in my photo gallery page are from last year's program.
Keep Dancing!
Had a great time at the Apple Blossom Retirement Village on the 20th. There were about 30 residents, along with Ruby the facility manager, Activity Director Misty, and her 7 year old daughter. Though much of the program was me doing a "show and tell" while the residents sat around the dance floor, we did have a few get up to do the "Chicken Dance", the "Hokey Pokey", and some big band swing. It was fun to see active seniors doing the "Chicken Dance" from their seats! I hope to be posting a page of pictures soon. The program was well received and plans are in the works for additional dates. I hope this will be the start of more dance opportunities at similar facilities and communities throughout the area.
Looking forward to my dance gig on September 20th at the Apple Blossom Retirement Village. The program will start at 1:45 in the afternoon, and last about 90 minutes. Dances will include waltz, foxtrot, swing, and cha-cha, and we will be featuring the Chicken Dance, and other novelty dances.
This will be my first program held at this facility and Activity Director Misty Loan and I are hopeful the residents will find this an enjoyable and welcome addition to their scheduled activities. We have planned this to be a monthly activity, sometimes it will correspond with their open house days for a multi-generation family dance program, and other times offered as a ballroom dance program for the residents and guests.

These Are the 4 Toys Driving Sales This Holiday Season
Every holiday season, certain toys make the 'must-have' list. The 'It' toy trend, which began with Tickle Me Elmo' in the mid '90s, has come full circle as retro-inspired toys are all the rage this year.
Deja Vu: Hatchimals
Hasbro had incredible success when they released the unique and robotic Furby in 1998. As they race to repeat their success with a revamped version, it seems that they are a little too late. Spin Master has one upped them, with their interactive Hatchimals. Though eerily similar, unlike the Furby, a Hatchimals starts its life in an egg. Kids can hear the Hatchimal breathing while in the egg, and when it's time, it hatches! But the fun doesn't stop there – these toys continue through phases of growth, from baby, to toddler to kid. Their kid-keepers can teach them how to walk, dance, and play games (again, similar to the Furbys of yesteryear). At $59.99 each, shortages are already happening, with some parents shelling out hundreds of dollars to snag one on eBay. Spin Master also created a unique situation for shoppers to track down these toys by providing different breeds of the Hatchimals to different retailers, meaning you won't find the same one in Wal-Mart that you would find in Target or Toys "R" Us – each of these retailers has an exclusive version.

The Classic Nintendo Has Returned
Most Generation X parents are familiar with the classic Nintendo gaming system. Many versions have since been created – the Nintendo DDS and Wii, just to name a few – and it looks like we can add yet another one to that list. Nintendo has released the 'Classic NES' just in time for the holiday frenzy. Like most sought after toys, this one is already both in high demand and in short supply. Unlike the original '90s version, this system is smaller and comes preloaded with 30 classic game favorites. It also packs an attractive price tag of $60 for the console.
Star Wars Strikes Back
As kids in the '80s raced to open their holiday gifts, many found AT-ATs under the wrapping. Now in 2016, their kids' kids will find the same, except the name has been updated to AT-ACTs, and the capabilities have also been modernized to include app interactivity and remote control walking and firing action. The updates don't stop there – this updated version uses Nerf darts and includes a removable cargo container that can double as a Mini-Rebel base. It also comes with three figures – an Imperial driver, a black R2 unit droid and the heroic Jyn Erso, from the revitalized Star Wars movie franchise released earlier in 2016. This price tag however is not very retro, running shoppers $299 per unit.
New Kid on the Block: Shopkins
This toy started in 2013 by Moose Toys and has since grown to include books, trading cards, and a YouTube channel with animated shorts. Each toy is fashioned after a grocery store item and is known for their tiny size (about the size of a quarter) and funny names. Like popular collectible brands, Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon, Shopkins have 'Common', 'Rare', 'Ultra Rare', 'Special Edition', and 'Limited Edition' toys. They can also be scanned and played with through the Shopkins World app. Like many collectibles, shoppers need to be careful of counterfeits, which have already begun flooding the market.

About Joe
Joe's fate as a musician was sealed at the age of 11 when a chance Saturday afternoon at home brought the Technicolour Pop-Art wonder of The Beatles second movie 'Help!' into his life.
His first guitar followed soon after, and armed with a copy of The Beatles Complete songbook and an ever growing collection of copied Beatles albums on cassette and vinyl, Joe taught himself music from The Beatles unparalleled catalogue of songs.
Early adventures into song writing soon followed and with this brought the mastering of drums, piano and of course bass guitar.
Joe furthered his interest in arranging, production and recording in a variety of high school bands and recording projects and soon immersed himself in Glasgow's vibrant music scene, performing and recording with a variety of successful groups most notably The Owsley Sunshine.
Joe's experience in production and arranging, as well as his energetic performance style and deep understanding of Beatle music made him the natural choice to perform the role of Paul McCartney in Them Beatles. Naturally right handed, Joe has taught himself to play 'leftie' bass!

A Good Dog's Life shared a link
Puppy Program is booming!! https://wnck9.com/puppy-program
OWNER: Maggie Brindell-Watt
I have to tell you we went to our Neighborhood Christmas Party and I was singing your praise. Many of my neighbors that walked by our house daily commented on how well Brewster is behaving. They were impressed when he barked at them and I can come out and tell him to be quite and he actually does listen to me. So, in general they were just impressed at how well he is behaving for such a young dog. So, I just wanted to say "thank you" for helping us, couldn't have done it without your help. We still have a lot of work to do but we are on the right track.
OWNER: Cindy Hartman
"Gail, thank you VERY MUCH for reviewing our runs from last weekend, your comments were very helpful! You make some great points. I appreciate your keen eye and willingness to help us become a better team! Can't wait for class on Thursday!"
OWNER: Susan McKenzie
Rigel (2 ½ yr old black and white retriever/hound mix) took basic manners class and Pedals (6 mo old brindle lab/pit mix) attended both the puppy and basic manners class at A Good Dog's Life When people visit our home, I often receive compliments on how well behaved my dogs are. They do not try to counter surf and I can ask them to stay on their beds to get out from under foot. I am a strong believer in challenging dogs physically and mentally and intend to take further classes at A Good Dog's Life. They both enjoy it.
OWNER: Tanya Alstott
I was happy with the content of the class. I think these type of puppy class are limited in what you can expect out of your dog, mainly due to age and the inability to focus for any length of time. Socialization was my main goal and I feel like Elke got that from the class.
OWNER: Peggy and Bob Dellinger
Gail, WE loved class today. I had read most of the book "tracking from the ground up" but boy you made lots more sense then the book!

Environmental Issues
Over half a million people live near the Pentlands and there are also many who come to visit this beautiful part of Scotland. A significant number of people use the Pentlands for a wide range of activities. The steady increase of use over the years has caused some problems, notably
1. Disturbance to farm animals (and to wildlife)
2. Ground damage
3. Sometimes, vehicle parking
The Carnethy 5 attracts roughly 600-700 runners, helpers and spectators, and as organisers, we MUST try to make OUR impact as low as we can. For that reason, we are making the following points:
We have been asked to make a request to runners training for the Carnethy 5. Please use certain parts of the course as little as possible, preferably not at all, prior to race day.
These parts are:
a) the ascent of Scald Law from Charlie's Loup (consult a map of the course)
b) the descent from West Kip to the Howe
c) the ascent of Carnethy from the Howe
The scree on the descent of Carnethy to Charlie's Loup should always be avoided as it is very fragile and will not climb back up again after we have pushed it all downhill.
These requests come from one of the farmers who lives near West Kip over whose land most of the Carnethy 5 is run. He has been an enthusiastic supporter of our hill races for almost forty years and we owe him!
The farmer's ewes are due to lamb a month or so after the race and will be particularly sensitive to disturbance. They tend to keep away from busy parts of the hills and we disturb them when we run across their ground. They stop eating and they run away. Both are bad for pregnant ewes.
It should not be hard to devise ways of using the ridge path from Turnhouse to the Kips and the path from Charlie's Loup to the Howe to make up the equivalent in distance and ascent of the actual race.
As mentioned elsewhere (e.g. the Race Information sheet) please do not park at the start, either on the road, or in any fields.
Please help us with this. We MUST try to co-operate with the owners and farmers if this race is to continue to be held.
With thanks in advance for your assistance and understanding.
