AltMatch.com Review: The Reason AltMatch.com Didn't Make It On Our "Top Alt Dating" List
It's always interesting when you hop onto a dating site and realize that it's just going to be and adventure of 'whoops, that's a broken image. I wonder where it goes.' Unfortunately, that seemed to be our entire adventure on AltMatch.com, and while it was certainly like wandering through a forest blind, it wasn't anywhere near as exciting as you might hope something like that would be.
This site is so buggy that we need to call an exterminator.
Sorry for the horrible, horrible joke, but seriously, we can't remember a time that we logged onto AltMatch.com and actually were able to navigate without feeling like we were completely blind. This site has just never worked entirely well for us, and that's annoying as much as it is disconcerting.
Fun fact: even those in the alt scene like to be able to navigate sites correctly and fluidly. The fact that this website designer doesn't know that is a little troubling, and it makes us never, ever want to come back.
We Tried AltMatch.com For Alt Dating – Here Are The Results
We took the time to conduct an AltMatch.com review, and after sending out 200 e-mails to different women, we went and evaluated the results of how many of them actually replied.
This study took a total of six months to complete, and our e-mails were anything but spam. We took the time to customize our messages to their profiles and their interests, insuring an authentic dating experience for maximum results.
Our results were anything but maximized.
Out of those 200 e-mails that we sent, we only ended up receiving 6 e-mails in return.
We're pretty sure that most of these were from spam bots, which leads us to believe this site is dead in the water times twenty.
Not a single one of those 'women' asked us out on a date, either, in case that isn't obvious.
At this point, our AltMatch.com review as obviously falling a little bit flat, and most of us were done enough that we could stick a fork in one another and enjoy a nice meal.
We Did Not Like AltMatch.com: Do We Think AltMatch.com Is a Scam?
It's pretty hard to think of one thing about this site that we even came close to liking. The layout is crap, the site itself is crap, and we honestly didn't see a single other soul on it that was active and talking to people…other than us.
This site is dead.
Some sites just die. AltMatch is one of those, and the idea of signing up for this site and experiencing anything but an AltMatch scam is pretty much an impossible ideal. There's nothing for you on this site, and you certainly won't be able to meet any women on it.
The fact that anyone would actually try to use this site is appalling. At least we came to terms with never having working navigation; after awhile, it sort of became pathetically charming.
AltMatch.com Review: Why You Might Think Twice Before Using AltMatch.com For Alt Dating?
If it isn't obvious by now, we're really not into AltMatch as a viable choice for your online dating experience. AltMatch scams are a definite thing, and really, this whole, dead excuse of a site is nothing but a scam in the first place.
It's hard to imagine anyone trying to use this site and make it work. We're not sure that it's possible, because again, we didn't see another living soul on this site while were on it. That's disappointing and frustrating for anyone that wants to give it a shot without having a clue about what it is, that's for sure.
Rather than sitting around and wasting your time with this site, we highly suggest that you check out our number one rated site, Perversions .
There's a reason why Perversions is our number one site, and that's because we've tested and tried it ourselves, and found it to just be superior to every other alternative dating site that we've ever gone to. Check it out, and you won't have any of the frustrations that you're experiencing by trying to use this trainwreck.
AltMatch.com in the News
Trying to make this site for you might end up driving you to a different sort of addiction, like in this article: http://voices.yahoo.com/online-pornography-addiction-64745.html?cat=72
You'll be old by the time AltMatch works for you, so you might a well read this article about getting old and staying kinky: http://voices.yahoo.com/aging-bdsm-relationship-growing-old-enjoying-60456.html?cat=41

Translated by Fray Dunstan Huberto Decena, OAR
30th Sun. in Ord. Time B.
Mk. 10:46-52
A. Invoking the Holy Spirit.
We invoke the Holy Spirit using the words of St. Augustine.
Come, Holy Spirit, by whom every devout soul, who believes in Christ, is sanctified to become a citizen of the City of God! (en. Ps. 45:8) Come, Holy Spirit, grant that we receive the motions of God, put in us your flame, enlighten us and raise us up to God. (s. 128, 40) Amen.
B. Lectio.
With heart well disposed, with serenity, read slowly the following words, savoring them and allowing yourself to be touched by them.
46 They came to Jericho. And as they were leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. 47 On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me." 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me." 49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage, get up, he is calling you." 50 He threw aside his cloak, sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see." 52 Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately, he received his sight and followed him on the way.+
C. Meditatio.
Let us now meditate with the commentary of St. Augustine on these words of the Gospel according to St. Mark.
In the first place St. Augustine situates the event for us and points out who Bartimaeus was according to the sources that he was using. The Doctor of Hippo points out thus: Without doubt, this Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, formerly in a good position, fell into a very known and famous misery, since he was not only blind, but was also begging seated. It is for this that Mark wanted to mention only this, whose recovery of sight made the miracle so famous as his misfortune was known (con. eu. 2, 125).
Later, on the healing of the blind man along the road, St. Augustine in a famous sermon, used the contents of St. Mark but follows the outline of St. Matthew (Mt. 20:29-34), for he speaks of two blind men and not of only one as the text of St. Mark.
Therefore, my brothers, all our efforts in this life must consist in healing the eye of the heart with which to see God. With this end the sacred mysteries are celebrated; with this end the word of God is preached; toward this the moral exhortations of the Church are directed, i.e., those that look towards correcting the customs, towards amending the appetites of the flesh, towards renouncing this world not only by word, but also with a change of life; Towards this purpose are directed all the actuations of the sacred and divine Scriptures in order to purify our interior of what impedes us from contemplating God. Pay attention to the conclusion and the development of the event. Both blind men were seated along the road. While the Lord was passing by they shouted to him to have compassion on them. On their part, the crowd walking with him rebuked them not to shout. And do not think that mentioning this detail lacks significance. With their continuous shout they overcame the crowd that rebuked them; they overcame in such a way that their voice reached the ears of the Lord: as though he had not yet heard it in his mind! The two blind men then shouted, so that the Lord might hear them and the crowd could not repress them. The Lord was passing by and they were shouting. The Lord stopped and healed them. In fact, the Lord Jesus stopped, called them and said to them: "What do you want me to do for you?" and they answered: "That our eyes be opened." Seeing their faith the Lord did it; he restored their eyes. If we have already understood who is sick, deaf or dead interiorly, let us also seek there who is blind interiorly: he has the eyes of his heart closed. Jesus passes by that we may shout. What does it mean that Jesus passes by? That he performs temporal actions. What does it mean that Jesus passes by? That he performs transitory actions. Pay attention and see how many of his works have passed by. He was born of the Virgin Mary, is he perhaps always being born? As an infant he was breast fed, is he perhaps always fed at the breast? He passed the different ages until his youth, is he perhaps always growing physically? To his infancy followed his childhood, to childhood followed adolescence, to adolescence –transitory and perishable- followed his youth. Even the miracles he performed passed away; we read them and we believe. In fact, they were written that they may be read, they passed away as soon as they were performed. Finally, so as not to delay me more, he was crucified: does he perhaps always hang from the cross? He was buried, he arose, he ascended into heaven; he no longer dies and death has no more power over him. As his divinity always remains forever, so too his corporeal immortality will never end. Nevertheless, all that he did in time passed away, and it was written to be read, and to be preached in order to be believed. Therefore, in all these events Jesus passes by (….) But in performing transitory works, i.e., in humbling himself, in becoming obedient until death and death on the cross, the two blind men shouted: Have pity on us, Son of David (….) Until the end of the world blind men seated by the road side will not be absent. It is necessary that those who are seated by the roadside shout. The crowd that accompany the Lord drown the cry of those who seek health. Brothers, do you understand what I am telling you? For I do not know how to say it, but much less do I know how to keep silent. This is what I say and I say it openly: I fear Jesus when he passes by and when he stays and that is why I cannot keep silent. The good Christians , who are truly enthusiastic and desirous to fulfill the precepts of God written in the Gospel, feel impeded by bad and lukewarm Christians. The crowd itself that accompany the Lord prevent them from shouting, i.e., prevent them from doing good lest by their perseverance they be cured. Let them shout, let them not get tired, let them not be dragged by the pressure of the crowd, let them not imitate even those who had been Christians ahead of them and yet who live like the wicked and esteem them badly because of their good works. Let them not say: "Let us live as the great multitude lives." Why not live as the Gospel commands? Why do you like to adjust your life to the rebuke of the crowd that impedes you to shout, and not to the footsteps of the Lord who passes by? They will insult you, they will revile you, they will invite you to move backwards; but you shout until it reaches the ears of Jesus. Because who are constant in doing what Christ commanded, without paying attention to the many who prevent it, and give no much value to the fact that these seem to follow Jesus –i.e.,-that they are called Christians-, except those who have more love for the light that Christ would give back to them, than fear of the noise of those who prevent him to shout, in some way will find themselves separated from Jesus: not only will he stop, but will also heal them (s.88, 5. 8. 11. 13).+
D. Oratio.
With the text, let us now pray from the depths of our heart. I suggest the following phrases and questions that can awaken in you dialogue with God, and at the same time can give rise to affections and sentiments in your dialogue with God. Do not move to the next phrase or question if you can still continue dialoguing with God in one of them. It is not a matter of exhausting the list, but of helping you to pray with some points that better fit your personal experience.
a. "All our effort in this life must consist in healing the eye of the heart with which to see God" (s. 88, 5).
- What is it that impeded the eye of your heart to see?
- How can you know that the eye of your heart is healthy?
b. "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me! The crowd rebuked him to keep quiet, but he shouted all the more" (Mk. 10:47-48).
- How do the words, the criticisms and the opinion of people around you influence your life of faith?
- What do you need to be more constant in you Christian life?
E. Contemplatio.
I propose to you some points for affective interior contemplation. Once again you need not follow all of it, rather you can choose what fits your personal experience.
a. Contemplate the blind man Bartimaeus seated along the road and how upon knowing that it was Jesus who was passing by, began to shout. Contemplate how the crowd that accompanies Jesus tells him to be silent, but how he shouts all the more. Contemplate how Jesus calls him and cures him. Contemplate his happiness and how gratefully he follows Jesus. Contemplate, reflect and love.
b. Identify yourself with the blind man. Reflect on your own spiritual blindness, how in some occasions you allowed yourself to be influenced by the opinion and the judgments of those around you. Contemplate how, like the blind Bartimaeus, upon knowing that it was Jesus passing by, you invoke him with your heart. Contemplate how Christ stops, heals you, and restores your interior vision. Contemplate, love and be grateful.
F. Communicatio.
Think of everything that you can share with those around you about the experience you had with God, especially as regards recognizing your own blindness, coming to Christ and not allowing yourself to be discouraged by people around you. The following points can help you share with your community the experience of the lectio divina on the text.
- What have I discovered about God and about myself in this moment of prayer?
- How can I apply this text of Scripture at this moment of my life? What light does it give me? What challenges does it put before me?
- What concrete commitment does this text of Scripture ask of me in my spiritual life, in my community life?
- What has been my dominant sentiment during this moment of prayer?
Final Prayer of St. Augustine.
Turning towards the Lord: Lord God, Father Almighty, with pure heart, as far as our littleness permits, allow us to give you our most devoted and sincere thanks, begging with all our strength from your particular goodness, that you deign to hear our petitions according to your goodwill, that by your power you may drive away the enemy from all our thoughts and actions, that you increase our faith, govern our mind and give us spiritual thoughts and bring us to your happiness, through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with you lives and reigns in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen (en. Ps. 150:8).
"The Christian who lives a bad life is certainly found in the light of God, but with eyes closed, because living badly he does not like to see God, and finding himself in the midst of the name 'Christian' he is like a blind man, situated in the light, but deprived of vision from the true light" (en. Ps. 25: 2, 14).

|The ESRI Occupy Wall Street map now displays locations of demonstrations.
A little over a week ago, I posted the ESRI produced Occupy Wall Street map. One of the items I noted was how the content was mostly limited to the occupation in Manhattan. Just over ten days later, the capabilities of this map have been expanded and the amount of content has grown exponentially. In addition to YouTube videos, Tweets, and images from Flickr, the OWS map now displays Occupy locations (which span the entire globe – see screenshot above) and a tool that allows users to quickly zoom to different cities located under the Areas of Interests button.

Reading captain Jobi McAnuff says side will keep focus
Last updated on .From the section Football
Jobi McAnuff says Reading will keep their focus and not get distracted by the Championship table as they look for their ninth successive league win.
In-form Reading travel to Doncaster on Tuesday knowing victory could take them above second-placed West Ham and level on points with leaders Southampton.
But the Royals captain insists there is no talk of promotion inside the camp.
"The media can talk of promotion, but the gaffer will not let us get carried away," McAnuff told BBC Berkshire.
The 30-year-old added: "You can't afford to think like that because things can change very quickly. Especially the amount of games we've got coming up in such a short space of time.
"From our point of view we are just taking one game at a time."

|Goodies received
I mean, who doesn't want a mini full of pink Heather Ross gnomes?
The Instagram community is a wonderful place for sewers, quilters, and fiber artists alike, as people talk fabric, share helpful tips and tricks, and exchange lots of goodies in the form of mini quilt swaps.
|Goodies sent
I had signed up for another two exchanges months ago, much to my husband's dismay, as he knows I wait until the last minute for everything, and then become crazy for a few days trying to meet a deadline. But I love working under pressure, provided I have plenty of coffee on hand.
|And another on its way to Canada
I somehow managed to get both minis done by their respective deadlines, and I was excited to try something new for each.
The first was hosted by Sarah Fielke for her new book Little Quilts. We were required to make a mini from the book, so I selected Drawn Together because I had never done paper piecing, aside from a pin cushion years ago.
I struggled to get all the points to match in the middle.
But it was rewarding to see it all come together.
I mixed both orange and pink stripes for the scrappy binding.
|Decisions, decisions
But, due to a lack of both time and experience, I avoided hand quilting for this one and did a simple outline with my machine around all the edges. I plan to practice my hand quilting for next time.
The second quilt was for the IG mini swap, which was international and included around 1,000 participants.
|A very merry Lone Starburst in progress
I was excited to try the Lone Starburst for the first time to send to my swap partner in Canada.
I wanted it to look like the top of a Christmas tree, so I needed to add a border. Again, I received lots of help from the IG community to successfully do this.
For now I'm on a swap sabbatical, but I have a feeling once Christmas is over, I'll be back to it. It's hard to stay away and so fun to participate!


text: Again, we shipped our photo trucks (two vehicles so that our assistants could live and camp out of one) to Iceland during each of three summers—2004, 2006, and 2010. We were introduced to the idea of going there by a friend in the Netherlands who showed us lots of slides from his several trips there. It all looked so surreal and wild. It is hard for us to talk about Iceland in short sentences. We have so many good things to say about it, the land, the atmosphere, the people, the adventures—everything exceeded our expectations. We could go on and on, but it is all in the books—two of them—Iceland: A Personal View, Volume I for me and Volume II for Michael. We each have written a Preface for the books. In Volume I, I have published excerpts from my journals, writings that give a sense of the place, our experiences, and stories while traveling and photographing. There is an essay by Jens Erdman Rasmussen, former Curator of Photography at the National Museum of Photography in Copenhagen, and a Foreword by Ómar Þ. Ragnarsson, Iceland's most famous citizen and environmental activist.

Rash JA, Lavoie KL, Sigal RJ, Campbell DJ, Manns BJ, Tonelli M, Campbell TS
BACKGROUND: Statins are a class of medications that are particularly effective for lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite a range of benefits, non-adherence to statin medication is prevalent with 50% to 75% of patients failing to adhere to treatment within the first 2-years. A previous review on interventions to improve adherence to cholesterol lowering medication concluded that rigorous trials were needed with emphasis on the patient's perspective and shared decision making. Motivational interviewing (MInt) is a promising patient-centered approach for improving adherence in patients with chronic diseases. This manuscript describes the rational and design of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing the efficacy of MInt in improving adherence to statin medication.
METHODS: Patients filling their first statin prescription will be recruited to complete a 6-month observation run-in period (phase-1) after which medication possession ratio (MPR) will be assessed. Patients meeting criteria for non-adherence (MPR≤60%) will be invited to participate in the trial. 336 non-adherent new statin users will undergo a fasting lipid panel, complete baseline questionnaires, and be randomly allocated to receive four sessions of adherence education delivered using MInt (EdMInt) or to an education control (EC) delivered at 3-month intervals. Final assessments will occur 12-months after the first EdMInt or EC session. The primary outcome is change in MPR adherence to statin medication from baseline to 12-months. Secondary outcomes include within-patient change in self-reported medication adherence, stage of change and self-efficacy for medication adherence, motivation to adhere to statin medication, and lipid profile.

Benetton Wealth Falls $2 Billion After Italy Bridge CollapseBy
Fallout from the Genoa bridge disaster has erased about $2 billion of net worth from one of Italy's richest families.
The billionaire Benettons control 30.25 percent of Atlantia SpA, the construction company and toll-road owner that operated the Morandi Bridge that collapsed last Tuesday, killing at least 43 people. The Atlantia stake is their single-largest asset, comprising more than a third of their $13.3 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index…

text: From Paul Ayutoliya: Patronages to the respective three community libraries continued to better. The Junior High Schools form three students are climaxing the preparation towards their Basic Education Certificate Examination and so the continue to use the respective community libraries as serene environment for learning. Other students continue to make good use of the story books in the respective community libraries. Over the week, I tour some Junior High Schools with some librarians and met with students and their teachers. We spoke to students on the importance and benefits of reading. We encouraged students to visit the libraries near to them and read. For the BECE candidates we touched on the necessary preparation like getting their mathematical sets, pens, rules and pencils ready before the day of the examination, the need for them not to engage in any examination malpractices or fighting with colleagues or invigilators during the exams periods among others. We admonished them to continue to visit the respective libraries and read even after their examination. At the Sherigu community library, I read the story of the Leopard Drum with patrons of St. Peter and Paul Academy during my visit to the library for supervision. In the story we learned about the Akan or twi names (Akan or twi is a language spoken the Ashanti people of Ghana) of some forest animals. For instance in the story; the Akan name for leopard is Osebo, Elephant is Esono, python is Onini and others. In the story the leopard made a magnificent drum which all the forest animals like and wished it was theirs. The Sky-God wanted the drum and promised to reward any of the forest animals who would be able to bring the drum to him. The elephants, monkeys, pythons with all their big bodies tried without success, it was the tiny little tortoise who got the reward.

Hi,thank you for the recipes!
what kind of blender did you use for this recipe? it looks fantastic!
Gosh, it's been a while since I posted a smoothie recipe! No reason, really, except that my smoothie cravings are minimal in the January deep freeze. It's been all oats for breakfast lately, all the time. Still, I tend to forget that smoothies don't have to be freezing cold: one can use a non-frozen banana, for example, to achieve a warmer blend. And even if I don't want something room temperature or cool when I wake up, who's to say that I don't want a mean, green, nutrient packed afternoon snack? This smoothie–a banana, pear, avocado, and hempseed blend–is the perfect antidote to the afternoon energy slump, and it's delicious, too.
I first discovered the beauty of apples and pears in smoothies two years ago, when I whipped up an apple pie smoothie that knocked my socks off. I'd never really thought to blend these fruits up; for me, so much of the joy of eating them was the crunch. Since then, I've appreciated the thick texture and subtle sweetness that apples and pears lend to smoothie blends, as well as the fact they present a break from the more traditional array of tropical smoothie flavors.
In this smoothie, I pear a super traditional smoothie base (banana) with sweet pear, creamy avocado and hempseeds, baby kale, parsley, a touch of lemon, and a beautiful dose of creamy almond milk. The results are delicious; the blend is reminiscent of a green juice, thanks to the parsley, lemon, and mildly bitter greens, but it has all of the thickness and sweet satisfaction of a traditional smoothie. It's also highly nourishing, full of healthy fats, natural sugars, and nutrient packed greens. I hope you'll try it and enjoy it as much as I do!
Smoothies may not be my wintertime go-to, but I do so enjoy them every time I make one. Such an easy and delightful way to pack in a wide array of nutrients.
That's it for tonight, friends. On the blog tomorrow, a vegan taco idea for Superbowl Sunday (or really, any day) that's as easy as it is savory and filling. I hope you'll love it — see you soon!

Hi,thank you for the recipes!
what kind of blender did you use for this recipe? it looks fantastic!
This smoothie looks so amazing! When I get a new blender this will be the first smoothie I make!
Looking at this smoothie is making me all of a sudden very parched! It looks so refreshing!
I really gotta try adding pears in smoothies.
I've been trying to add more greens to my daily routine -this looks like a delicious way to do that!
Yum! Sounds great! I love putting pear in a smoothie, I haven't tried anything like this combo though. I think I might try it with hemp milk.
I made this for my son (18 months) the other day, and he absolutely loved it. Thanks for a wonderful recipe, Gena!
This smoothie is such a beautiful color, and it sounds delicious to boot! I definitely like the fresh banana plan a lot. And I've never tried hemp seeds! They are going on my to-find list now. 🙂
I hate apples in smoothies! Haha! But pears! Yes! and I love the parsley. Adding fresh herbs to smoothies makes them taste so FRESH!
Does Dole have organic products? If not, this does not seem too true to your blog? I have never seen anything Dole organic, but I am willing to admit that might be because I am in a small town in Maine.
This looks awesome! Love the addition of avocado and lemon — so refreshing.
Ugh, product placement and Dole?? I don't know, it's such a turn-off and feels strange in a vegan blog especially as Dole has had quite a bit of controversy with its company ethics. The recipe is great on its own without the additional advertisement.
Agreed. I love this blog, but the Dole company product placement makes my skin crawl. With a well-documented record of human rights abuses around the globe, in addition to partnering with Monsanto (!!!) in the past, I would not be too keen on buying their products…
I very much appreciate your follow-up. I am sure a lot of bloggers wouldn't take the time to dig into something like this, but you did, and I am grateful. There is a lot to debate about this whole issue, but you nailed it when you called the pacement "jarring." So again, thank you, from a loyal reader.
This looks sooo good! The green colour is gorgeous!
Wow, this smoothie looks amazing. I am going to make it for my kids tomorrow morning as I have all the ingredients. Is the smoothie sweet or savory?
We love pear in our smoothies. I am making for my family on a regular basis a smoothie with pear, chia seeds, cacao, and coconut milk. It is delicious!
I am so happy to add your smoothie to our rotation. Thank you, Gena!
Such a pretty smoothie! Love the addition of avocado 🙂
This looks so refreshing and filling at the same time! I have yet to try pears in smoothies but I absolutely love them!

7 Reasons Why Your Home Always Feels Cold in Winter
You may not notice how cold or uncomfortable winter can be if your home feels nice and cozy.
However, you definitely won't feel relaxed at home if your house just doesn't stay warm, feels cold, or you feel cold drafts in different areas and rooms of your home.
A chilly feeling inside your home is not only uncomfortable, you may also be faced with an increased utility bill as your heating system works overtime to try to warm your home.
There is most likely an issue with your HVAC or your home itself that is causing your home to feel cold.
Let's look at the top reasons and most likely causes that homeowners face when their home feels cold.
Your Home's Exterior Isn't Properly Sealed
If you can physically feel cold air entering your home from the outside, it is a clear sign that your home has exterior leaks that need to be addressed.
If the problem isn't that obvious, take a walk around the perimeter of your home and look for any cracks, gaps, or holes in your siding or at doors and windows.
When a new home is built, the envelope, or the barrier that protects the exterior of your home from the outside environment, is properly sealed at all openings.
This includes caulking gaps at windows, installing weatherstripping at doorways, and sealing any cracks or pinholes on the walls that could allow outdoor air inside.
How Can You Remedy Insufficient Sealing?
As your home ages, these exterior barriers will wear away. Fortunately, this is a relatively easy fix to complete and a DIY approach is perfectly acceptable.
Run a fresh bead of acrylic or polyurethane caulk along window and door seams.
Be sure to clean the area first so the application properly adheres.
If the weather stripping around your door appears worn, it is easily removed and replaced.
The new weatherstripping will fit snugly into your door jamb and should be cut to fit.
Your Windows or Doors May Need to Be Replaced
Modern windows and doors have excellent insulating properties.
If your home has older windows or doors, your heated air may be escaping through the single pane glass.
Energy-efficient windows feature double or even triple-pane glass that helps to lock warm air in.
You can also buy windows with low-E insulated glass that will reflect heat trying to escape back into your home.
Similarly, exterior doors are available with more insulation and better energy performance ratings than ever before.
Opt for a steel or fiberglass entry door with a high R-value and foam-filled core.
If you do not want to replace your existing door, consider installing a storm door in front for an added layer of protection.
Should You Hire a Professional to Replace Your Windows?
Hiring the right expert to replace your windows or doors will be a more costly project but keep in mind these potential financial perks.
In some areas, government grants are available to replace your existing windows with energy-efficient options.
This incentive exists in an effort to reduce your overall energy needs and carbon footprint.
Additionally, replacing your windows has a large return-on-investment.
Buyers are willing to tack on around 85% of the cost of your window replacement project to the sale price of your home should you sell in the future.
Your Home May Not Have Enough Insulation
Insulation plays a very important role in the energy efficiency of your home. Made from either foam, fiberglass, or cellulose, insulation is installed within your walls to help keep the cold air out and the warm air in.
Poor insulation is a common issue in older homes as there usually is not enough installed and the quality and efficiency of insulation have improved in more recent years.
A part of the reason is that either older homes lack insulation entirely or only thin insulation was available at the time of construction.
In some cases, however, newer homes can also experience insulation problems. Contractors working on a tight budget will sometimes skimp out on the amount of insulation they install.
How R-Value Affects the Insulation in Your Home
The effectiveness of insulation to resist heat flow is measured in R-values.
The higher the R-value, the better! R-values vary depending on the type and quantity of insulation installed.
The optimum R-value for your home will ultimately depend on your climate.
Should You Hire a Contractor to Improve Your Insulation?
If you sense your home is lacking in the insulation department, you can consult a specialized insulation contractor.
Point them to the rooms or areas of your home that always feel the coldest.
They will investigate the interior of your walls by removing a bit of the drywall to determine if there is adequate insulation coverage.
Additionally, insulation can easily be installed in open areas such as attics and crawl spaces for another layer of defense against the cool air.
These areas can be more easily done as a DIY project rather than hiring a professional if you have the extra time, know-how, and want to keep to a small budget.
Your HVAC Unit May Be Broken or Faulty
If your heating system has been operating well over the years, but suddenly cannot keep up with demand, a specific piece or part could have broken.
There are dozens of pieces in your furnace that mechanically work together to heat your home. As your furnace ages, these parts experience regular wear and tear that causes them to eventually break.
Common issues furnaces experience throughout their lifespan include worn blower bearings, a cracked heat exchanger, a tattered blower belt, or a faulty limit switch.
All of these parts are integral to the operation of your heating system.
If you continue to run your furnace while an issue is present, you risk damaging other parts of the system and increasing the overall cost of the repair.
Or worse, have it stop functioning in the middle of a cold spell.
Should You Hire an HVAC Specialist?
For mechanical furnace issues, it is best to immediately call a heating service company to visit your home and diagnose the issue.
They will discuss the options you have for replacing the broken or faulty part, how much the repair will cost, and when you can expect the service.
Most furnace parts are in-stock items that can be quickly replaced. If you have an older or unique unit, you might have to wait a few days for the specialty piece to arrive.
You can typically avoid sudden disruptions in the operation of your furnace by scheduling an annual technician service check-up. The technician will suggest and make repairs during the inspection.
Your Ductwork Could Be Leaky or Damaged
Your heating system is more than just your furnace. Once your furnace produces warm air, it is all up to your ductwork to disperse the air throughout your home.
If you notice a spike in your energy bills, cooler rooms or areas of your home, or more dust accumulation than usual, there could be a leak in your ductwork.
These leaks or gaps in your ductwork allow the heated air to seep out. This either prevents the air from reaching all parts of your home or your furnace has to work extra hard to make up for the lost heat.
Leaks in your ductwork can happen for a number of reasons. Vibrations in your home could cause screws that hold pieces of your ductwork together to come loose.
As your ductwork ages, seals or even the ductwork itself can loosen and break. If pesky rodents, like mice and squirrels, enter your home, there is a chance they could damage your ductwork.
Repairing Ductwork Is a Job Best Left to the Professionals
Consult an HVAC technician if you think leaky ductwork could be causing issues in your home.
By removing vents and inspecting the ductwork, they can help determine a solution.
Repairing a seal or patching a hole in ductwork is a relatively simple and inexpensive repair for professionals.
You Need to Replace Your Air Filters or Keep Up With Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your heating system, following regular maintenance procedures is extremely important.
Homeowners often forget to replace air filters in their heating units. If these filters are not regularly replaced, your system can get clogged with dust, debris, and allergens.
Not only are these substances bad for your health, but they can also cause strain on your heating system. Your furnace will struggle to circulate air and to keep your house warm.
In addition to replacing the filter, your furnace needs to be regularly cleaned and inspected inside and out for optimum performance.
Is It Easy to Replace Filters for Your Heating System?
Air filters are easy to change and require replacing every 90 days or so.
Once you find the right-sized filter for your unit, keep a few extras in stock so you are ready for the next replacement.
Purchasing air filters on a subscription basis can also help remind you when it's time to change them.
Experts also suggest an annual furnace service check by a trained professional.
The technician will clean and dust the inside of your unit, lubricate bearings, and perform other basic maintenance tasks.
Furthermore, the technician will suggest any repairs or part replacements your furnace may need to continue running efficiently and to avoid any unwanted interruptions in service.
Your Heating System Is Undersized For Your Home
If the actual temperature in your home never seems to reach the thermostat setting, it could be that your heating system is taking on a bit more than it can handle.
When designing a home, a mechanical engineer or HVAC technician will complete a load calculation based on a number of factors including the size of the home, the location-based climate, and the maximum occupancy.
The calculated load will determine the size of the furnace, measured in BTUs, that is required to properly heat your home.
If a professional is not consulted during a home renovation or addition or if the load calculation is performed incorrectly, there is a chance the heating system will not be adequately sized.
How Do You Know If Your HVAC System Is Too Small?
To determine if this is an issue in your home, schedule a walkthrough with an HVAC professional.
They will complete a new load calculation for your home and see if your current heating unit measures up.
Modern furnaces are equipped with two stages that allow them to operate at two different BTU settings.
This means your solution could be as simple as the flip of a button!
If your furnace is truly undersized for your home, you will need to purchase a new system in order to get that indoor temperature up and your HVAC functioning properly.
Keeping your house warm throughout the colder months is about more than comfort. A properly running heating system will keep your energy bills consistent and could even reduce your environmental impact.
Be sure to keep up with regular maintenance on your heating unit and call a trusty HVAC expert as soon as there is an issue!

TAVANTOLGOI, Mongolia – The command sergeant major of U.S. Army Pacific, Command Sgt. Maj. Bryan Lambert, took time to visit his Soldiers in Mongolia June 25, 2015, as they participate in a joint, multinational exercise at the Five Hills Training Area known as Khaan Quest 2015.
Khaan Quest is a regularly scheduled exercise hosted annually by the Mongolian Armed Forces and co-sponsored by U.S. Army Pacific and U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific. More than 20 nations participate in a multitude of field training exercises alongside approximately 300 U.S. service members.
"The training conducted here is extremely important because it gives everyone a perspective — we learn about each other's armies, we learn about each other's terms of reference, and we are able to witness each other's roles and responsibilities for our Army versus theirs," said Lambert.
During Lambert's visit to the Five Hills Training Area, he was able to witness the search and cordon training event, peacekeeping exercise operations and first aid field training, as well as the command post exercise.
"Our relationship with Mongolia is a long-term partnership that we will continue to develop in the future," explained Lambert regarding the partnership with Mongolia. "We will continue to exercise and train together, we will partner at the lowest levels, and build relationships through the highest levels — we are learning from one another."
The relationship between the Mongolian and U.S. militaries is one of mutual respect and it continues to flourish. Khaan Quest is one way the relationship is enhanced, as well as strengthened through multinational relationships in the region.
"We are here to build trust; that way if something happened in the future, we are prepared to execute as a team, not individuals or individual armies," Lambert said. "That's why we focus on relationships, and that's why we reinforce the importance of trust."

Making the decision that a parent requires a level of care you cannot provide is typically not an easy decision to make. Once you have made the decision though, the next step is to choose a nursing home. Given some of the horror stories you have likely heard on the news about abuse and neglect at some facilities, choosing a nursing home may seem like a daunting task. After all, you are placing your parent's care in the hands of strangers. To help make your decision-making process a little less stressful, the Grand Forks nursing home lawyers at German Law have put together some tips for finding the right nursing home.
Nursing Home Abuse – Fact vs. Fiction
Before you get started looking for a nursing home for your loved one it is helpful to separate fact from fiction regarding nursing home abuse and neglect. Sadly, nursing home abuse does occur – and far more often than most people realize. To get an idea of how serious the problem really is, consider the following statistics:
- Between 1999 and 2001, almost one-third of all nursing home facilities were cited for violations of federal standards that could cause harm, or that did harm elderly residents of those facilities;
- Nearly 10% of those homes had violations that posed a risk of serious injury or death, or that did cause deaths of elderly residents;
- More than 40% of nursing home residents have reported abuse, and more than 90% report that they or another resident of the facility have been neglected;
- Research from 2010 indicates that up to half of all nursing home attendants have admitted abusing or neglecting elderly patients;
- More than half of all Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's) in elder care facilities have admitted verbally abusing, yelling at, and using foul language with elderly residents of care facilities.
While it is important to be aware of the prevalence of elder abuse within nursing homes across the country, it is equally important to focus on the fact that there are nursing homes that provide competent, compassionate care to their patients. The key, of course, is finding those homes.
Tips for Choosing the Right Nursing Home
Given what is at stake, it pays to take your time and utilize the following tips when you are searching for a nursing home for your loved one:
- Ask friends, family, and co-workers for a referral. Often, the best advice you can get will come from people you know who already have a loved one at a nearby nursing home, or even who have had a bad experience with a facility that you can then cross off the list.
- Use tools such as "Medicare Compare." The Medicare Compare website is an official government website that allows you to compare the quality of nursing homes that are Medicare and/or Medicaid qualified. The website lets you search and compare nursing homes and provides ratings for categories such as staffing, quality measures, and health inspections.
- Check with the Ombudsman program. The North Dakota Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program investigates complaints about the care at nursing homes and advocates for residents. They can also provide you with information and referrals when you are searching for the right home.
- Schedule a visit. Once you have a list of three to five nursing homes that appear to be good options, schedule an official visit and tour. Prepare a list of questions to ask each facility ahead of time so you don't forget anything important. Common questions you may wish to ask include:
- What is the staff/resident ratio?
- Is a physician on the premises 24/7?
- What social activities do they offer?
- What is their hiring process and do they conduct background checks on all new hires?
- What is the complaint process?
- Show up unannounced. Finally, plan an unplanned visit. An official visit will show you the nursing home in its best light. To see how the facility looks and operates when they are not expecting you. If possible, try and talk to current residents and/or staff while you are there as well.
Contact Grand Forks Elder Law Attorneys

Little is going right for the Lakers currently after a second-straight loss out of the All-Star break on Sunday. However, one of the very few bright spots on the year as a whole has been the joint play of Malik Monk and Austin Reaves.
The Lakers are long past their days of having Baby Lakers to cheer for, having either traded all of them away or letting them walk in free agency. Talen Horton-Tucker represented the entirety of their young core heading into the offseason and Reaves and Monk have joined with all three players 24 years old or younger.
While Horton-Tucker's 2021-22 campaign has largely been discouraging, he's still a 21-year-old with loads of potential that has shown more than a few flashes this season. Together, the trio have given the team some form of an energetic young core to as role players for the future.
Prior to Sunday's blowout loss to the Pelicans, Vogel discussed Reaves' debut in the starting lineup against the Clippers out of the All-Star break as well as fellow youngsters Monk and THT.
"I liked how all three of those guys played," Vogel said. "Those three guys have really been consistent forces for us this year. I like what Austin looked like in the starting lineup. He's got great length and great feet and great hustle and great toughness to play that type of role. I was pleased with his performance and Talen and Malik."
For a variety of reasons — not all of them logical — that trio has played together just 161 minutes across 27 games. Not shockingly, in those minutes, the Lakers have a net rating of 11.4 with an offensive rating of 112.3 and a defensive rating of 100.9. Ninety of those minutes have come alongside LeBron James and — again not shockingly — the Lakers still have a net rating of 11.4 in those minutes with a slightly higher offensive (115.5) and defensive (104.2) rating.
A benefactor of the Lakers playing smaller this season is that this trio has seen the court more. Even outside of playing with one another exclusively, the three players rank third (Monk), fourth (Horton-Tucker) and fifth (Reaves) in minutes played since Reaves returned from injury on New Year's Eve.
All but 10 of their minutes together have come during that span and 88 of their 90 minutes alongside James have come during that stretch as well. With the urgency to win games increasing, the Lakers have turned to three youngsters to help deliver them victories. It's a testament to how well they've performed this year, even if also an indictment on the roster.
They may struggle to keep the trio together past this season with Monk's free agency set to be a tricky one, even if he's expressed a desire to remain in Los Angeles. Regardless if it's a core for the short- or long-term, it's one the Lakers need right now and one that has continued to help them win games this season.

When the UK decided to leave the European Union after 47 years of membership within the bloc, specialists knew the separation would impact everything from trading to intelligence sharing on the island.
Now that the transition period has ended, and the Brexit deal is in full effect, the Brits are slowly discovering its full impact.
Let's see what this means in terms of information security and data protection.
An overview of the Brexit deal
On January 1st, 2021, the Brexit deal went into effect. Ambassadors from the 27 EU member states have unanimously approved the EU-UK post-Brexit trade deal.
Previously, between 2017 and 2019, the EU and the UK negotiated terms of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The talks resulted in a joint Political Declaration, alongside a Withdrawal Agreement, validated in February 2020.
The EU and the UK settled the general terms of their future relationship, including a legal consensus.
EU laws will no longer reign supreme in the UK after Brexit. The British parliament can decide which elements to keep or amend while still accepting some EU rules and regulations.
Regarding data protection, the UK has included the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into its national law.
Still, based on recent disclosure, it seems the country has been testing a surveillance technology that stores the web browsing activity of any individual living in the country.
Information security after Brexit
Even after Brexit, the UK will still have close ties to the continent, and data transfer with the EU could be challenging.
First, the UK would have to comply with the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on disputes over data and privacy. Yet, the UK has its surveillance laws further to be determined if they respect the privacy rights of EU citizens.
The EU and the UK have also agreed to exchange best practices and actions to promote and protect an open, free, and secure cyberspace.
The EU and the UK can still:
- Exchange information on cyber-related tools and methods;
- Collaborate in security-related exercises and research and development;
- Join activities of the EU Cybersecurity Agency (ENISA).
Great Britain is a key partner in Europe when it comes to business, commerce, international relations, and fighting terrorism.
Obsolete encryption references included in the deal
Exchanging and protecting data and information is of the utmost importance. This process remains an essential tool of cooperation in addressing common security threats.
When it comes to encryption technology recommendations, the Brexit deal is off to a rocky start.
Security experts were baffled by the document that recommends using outdated encryption algorithms, making sensitive data, like a common EU-UK forensic DNA database, vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Page 921 of the trade deal covering encryption technology is included in the chapter referring to DNA data. Precisely, the chapter speaks about DNA forensic procedures of Interpol.
This part of the document recommends using 1024-bit RSA encryption and the SHA-1 hashing algorithm – systems that are now vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
For instance, SHA-1 was the primary algorithm up until 2015.
The document also describes Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Mail as being "modern" services.
Netscape Communicator is mentioned in Brexit document … Almost feels like it is 40 years old …1K RSA and SHA-1 … one day we will build a digital world fit for the 21st Century … pic.twitter.com/1cg6uX3clw— Prof B Buchanan OBE (@billatnapier) December 26, 2020
Several experts stated that the page seems to be an unfortunate slip of copy-pasting chunks of text from old legislation.
A spokesman for the Home Office UK mentioned the UK uses "the latest technology to share this data, which is properly protected and in line with the guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre."
A few days later, the EU has admitted including obsolete parts in the Brexit trade deal and copying and pasting sections from a 2008 EU Council decision on cross-border cooperation. The EU also conceded to have used an "obsolete technical annex."
The European Commission defended its negotiators, declaring that creating a new parallel system would have been time-consuming and a waste of public resources. Members of the Commission added that cooperation takes place based on updated technologies, despite the obsolete security systems included in the document.
Limits on international information exchange
Some journalists and law experts argue that outdated technology may not be the most relevant aspect to scrutinize about the Brexit deal.
The mentioned annex includes the 2008 EU Prüm Convention treaty text, whose general terms and wording have never been updated.
In June 2020, the EU Council agreed they should change the agreement's text to align with the latest protection safeguards. However, the update is not a fast process.
The Prüm Convention, also known as Schengen III Agreement, is a law enforcement treaty. It was signed in May 2005 by Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Spain in Prüm town, Germany. However, the treaty is open to all members of the European Union.
The Schengen Information System allows participating countries to share alerts on law enforcement in real-time. The UK will no longer have access to SIS. Based on the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the government will get hold of this information through complementary tools, but only in individual cases and with certain restrictions.
Anticipating a secure post-Brexit world
The UK has been at the forefront of many EU security instruments and initiatives. One of IT security professionals' main concerns is that cross-border intelligence sharing, among other things, will be challenging. Many believe there is currently no country in the EU that has what it takes to replace it.
Learn more about the Five Eyes, the surveillance alliance that counts the UK as a member.
As elements of information security and privacy are not 100% clear, the future of EU-UK relations seems an incomplete puzzle.
We can only hope the two parties will develop a strong and up-to-date post-Brexit security and defense vision.
Do you believe information security and intelligence cooperation between the EU and the UK will be affected?

Customer Experience Management (CEM) focuses on working with the customer's experiences within the company.
In Customer Experience Management (CEM), you work with the customer's journey in the company. For example, what is the customer's sense of whether or not a company is service-minded, accommodating, understanding me and my needs, etc.?
A key in CEM is designing how the customer experience should be. Among other things, you look at all ' touch points '. This means that the customer's path through the company will be mapped out. From here, you can work to improve the design of the customer experience.
Our customers are crucial for a companies succes. Customers are in focus, and working to meet their demands and desires has become one of the key competitive parameters.
Our customers have to choose between a lot of providers and have the opportunity to shop around and find similar products from our competitors. They have their own free choice.
We must ensure the loyalty and dedication of our customers so they will buy from us recommend us to their network.
At LSV Group, we work with CEM by looking at the processes that have a direct impact on our customers. It is about the service and feedback we provide to our customers.
We often work in operational and front office departments where we look at the customers' contact channels, how we communicate with our customers, and how we can optimize their processes so the customers experience fast and agile processing times and stable deliveries that meet their expectations.
One of the great benefits of working with CEM is that the company gains happier customers and achieving more satisfied employees who are proud of their work.
This will also have a direct impact on the company's profit. If you are not already working with CEM, we recommend that you start it to achieve the great benefits it provides.
LSV Group has merged three of the most recognized business methodologies together to give companies the best conditions for obtaining and increasing satisfaction from employees and customers.
Our concept is called 'Customer Focus with Process Centricity' and consists of LEAN (optimization of quantity), Six Sigma (quality optimization) and finally CEM (Customer Experience Management).
The three business methodologies are merged into a concept to ensure that we provide your company with a range of solid tools – exactly where YOU need it.
LSV Group Consultants have more than 18 years of experience in the three methods, consequently, as an addition to the Toolbox, the model is also based on the consultants' experience. At the same time, the model focuses on securing internal competencies so that continuous development is possible when the consultant is done.
All processes that have direct or indirect interaction with customers (touchpoints) in these phases are in the model. Remaining processes are subsequently easier and quicker to work with, because customers are now happier and are processed quicker.
The Elements of the Model
Processes, value, data and responsibility – these are the four main elements on which our concept is based. You have to understand the processes, you have to understand what value they provide to the customers, you have to understand your data, and finally, the responsibility must be shared and understood.
The model's starting point
Typically, the customer reviews the classic four steps that the vast majority of the customer journeys can be divided into. We review these steps to ensure full control and understanding of the customer experience. From entering the company until they leave it again.
Customer Stages
Purchase and delivery
For the company, it means
Happier Customers
More Satisfied Customers
Higher profit

Houghton Hall was originally designed to house the magnificent art collection of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's first prime minister. In 1779, the collection was sold to Catherine the Great of Russia after Walpole's grandson squandered the family fortune. In the summer of 2013, the paintings traveled from the Hermitage to Houghton Hall for the first time since 1779 — and thanks to recently discovered original hanging plans found neatly folded in a drawer in Walpole's desk, most of the paintings were on view in the same positions they occupied in the 1740s. The grandest were back in the great gilded frames first designed for them by William Kent.
Come along on an inside journey of the great works that got away. A reception to meet the speaker follows the lecture. Presented by Thierry Morel, organizing curator of the exhibition Houghton Revisited; former director, London Friends of the Hermitage; and member of the Advisory Board, Hermitage Museum Foundation.
Guests may also enjoy the exhibition Houghton Hall: Portrait of an English Country House until 8 p.m. and join in a Your Turn to Speak Tour.
