The invention relates to display systems and, more particularly, to interactive displays for the presentation and analysis of activity within a work center.
Workflow analysis is often employed to assist in the management of work center operations. In a call distribution center, for example, data related to the number and duration of calls an agent handles is typically collected and analyzed. A supervisor may query a database in order to further analyze this workflow information and to adjust workloads among a group of agents. One or more agents within the call center may be particularly efficient, or may be working on a type of call that typically requires less effort and, consequently, may be able to handle more calls, while other, possibly less efficient agents, are unable to handle their assigned workload. This disparity may not be apparent to the manager who determines the number and type of calls to be directed to individual agents within the call center. Upon querying a workflow database a supervisor may be able to determine these variations in workflow demand and, consequently, may be able to adjust work assignments to improve the overall efficiency of the call center. However, analysis of a printout or textual display of workflow statistics may require a certain level of sophistication on the part of the supervisor. And, even assuming that the supervisor possesses this analytical sophistication, the analysis of the workflow information may be so time-consuming as to prohibit real-time adjustment of workflow.
Although daily or weekly analysis of workflow information may be a valuable management tool, more frequent analysis may provide for increased efficiencies. However, current presentation methods may impede a manager's absorption of work center activity related information. That is, lists or spreadsheets filled with the numerical, textual, representations of workflow data may not be readily comprehensible. Without effective representation of work center activity, efficiencies and significant business opportunities may be lost.
An apparatus and method that provide readily comprehensible representations of work center activity to a supervisor would therefore be highly desirable, and one which affords a temporal view of work center operations would be particularly useful.
A work center monitoring system in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides readily comprehensible information regarding work center activities to a display such as a display that may support a work center supervisor. A work center display system in accordance with the principles of the present invention includes an output device, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), liquid crystal display (LCD), or other display device and a display controller. The display controller and display device operate in concert to display images that are representative of work center activities.
The displayed images depict values of parameters related to the skills, which a supervisor is managing in the work center. Current and historical values of the parameters may be displayed, simultaneously, or in sequence. The values of the displayed parameters may be different types, such as any of a variety of numerical representations which might represent the number of calls in one or more queues, or the oldest call in a queue, for example. The values may be indicative of the elapsed time for servicing the oldest call in a queue, or other indications of time. The information being displayed may derive from a number of sources such as a work center management database, directly from a call management system, or from other sources. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the displayed parameter representations may include indicia of "allowable", or preferred, parameter values. One such indicator may be an "I-beam" glyph, that is, a glyph having the shape of a cross section of an I-beam with a vertical line connecting two horizontal lines. The horizontal sections of the glyph may be used to indicate the highest and lowest acceptable values for a particular parameter. The glyph may be overlaid, for example, on a bar chart that displays current values of a parameter of interest. The area immediately surrounding such an "I-beam" glyph may include further indicia, such as graduated zones of acceptability. That is, for example, as parameter values approach a limit, a color code may be employed, such as a yellow zone, to advise caution. As the parameter value approaches the limit even more closely, the area immediately surrounding the I-beam glyph may turn red, or the entire glyph, the surrounding bar chart, or portions thereof, may flash in order to alert a work center supervisor to the impending boundary violation.
Although the provision of readily comprehensible work center information in accordance with the principles of the present invention is not restricted to any one type of work center, the methods and apparatus are particularly suited to application in a "contact and fulfillment center", for example, in which customer inquiries are routed to customer service stations within the center. Such customer inquiries may be in the form of telephone calls received at a call processing center, Internet inquiries received at a website, or other such work center where a plurality of service representatives respond to inquiries received via a telecommunications device. For ease of illustration and clarity of presentation, the illustrative embodiments of the invention will involve contact and fulfillment centers, but, the invention's apparatus and method may find application in any work center activity display system.
The above and further features, aspects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, taken together with the accompanying drawings in which:
A work center monitoring system in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides readily comprehensible information regarding work center activities to a display, such as a display that may support a work center supervisor. The system includes an output device, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), liquid crystal display (LCD), or other display device, and a display controller. The display controller and display device operate in concert to display images that are representative of work center activities. The displayed images depict values of parameters related to the skills that a supervisor is managing in the work center. In accordance with the principles of the invention, the displayed parameter representations may include indicia of "permissible" parameter values. One such indicator might be an "I-beam" glyph that indicates the highest and lowest acceptable values for a particular parameter. The display may employ size, color, number and other display characteristics, such as patterns, flashing, or other such visual cues to convey information about work parameters of interest in a work center.
A work center monitoring system such as that illustrated in the conceptual block diagram of
Communications between the work process 102 and work manager 100 take place over a communications link 104. The communications link 104 may take the form of a high-speed local area network (LAN) connection, a standard computer bus interface, or other communications means. Management information exchanged between the manager 100 and the work process 102 may include information sent from the work process 102, such as the number of telephone calls waiting in a particular queue, whether individual agents are currently occupied, which call has been waiting in which queue for how long, and so on. Information sent from the manager 100 to the work process 102 may include control signals that switch telephone calls from one, overloaded, incoming queue to another queue, for example. In a contact and fulfillment application, incoming messages may arrive at the work process element 102 in the form of telephone calls, as input to an Internet website, as facsimile, video, or other form of telecommunication. The type of data might include time, date, number of agents, agent identifier number, character strings, or other types of data.
The manager 100 also communicates with a monitoring system 106 through a communications link 108, which, like the link 104, may take the form of a LAN connection, a standard interface bus, or other communications means. The monitoring system 106 includes a controller 110 which, in this illustrative embodiment, communicates with the manager 100 through the link 108.
Computer system 200 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 205, which may be implemented with a conventional microprocessor, a random access memory (RAM) 210 for temporary storage of information, and a read only memory (ROM) 215 for permanent storage of information. A memory controller 220 is provided for controlling RAM 210.
A bus 230 interconnects the components of computer system 200. A bus controller 225 is provided for controlling bus 230. An interrupt controller 235 is used for receiving and processing various interrupt signals from the system components.
Mass storage may be provided by diskette 242, CD ROM 247, or hard drive 252. Data and software may be exchanged with computer system 200 via removable media such as diskette 242 and CD ROM 247. Diskette 242 is insertable into diskette drive 241 which is, in turn, connected to bus 230 by a controller 240. Similarly, CD ROM 247 is insertable into CD ROM drive 246 which is, in turn, connected to bus 230 by controller 245. Hard disc 252 is part of a fixed disc drive 251 which is connected to bus 230 by controller 250.
User input to computer system 200 may be provided by a number of devices. For example, a keyboard 256 and mouse 257 are connected to bus 230 by controller 255. An audio transducer 296, which may act as both a microphone and a speaker, is connected to bus 230 by audio controller 297, as illustrated. It will be obvious to those reasonably skilled in the art that other input devices, such as a pen and/or tabloid may be connected to bus 230 and an appropriate controller and software, as required. DMA controller 260 is provided for performing direct memory access to RAM 210. A visual display is generated by video controller 265 which controls video display 270. Computer system 200 also includes a communications adaptor 290 which allows the system to be interconnected to a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), schematically illustrated by bus 291 and network 295. An input interface 299 operates in conjunction with an input device 293 to permit a user to send information, whether command and control, data, or other types of information, to the system 200. The input device and interface may be any of a number of common interface devices, such as a joystick, a touch-pad, a touch-screen, a speech-recognition device, or other known input device.
Operation of computer system 200 is generally controlled and coordinated by operating system software. The operating system controls allocation of system resources and performs tasks such as processing scheduling, memory management, networking, and 110 services, among things. In particular, an operating system resident in system memory and running on CPU 205 coordinates the operation of the other elements of computer system 200. The present invention may be implemented with any number of operating systems, including commercially available operating systems. One or more applications, such may also run on the CPU 205. If the operating system is a true multitasking operating system, multiple applications may execute simultaneously.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) techniques involve the definition, creation, use and destruction of "objects". These objects are software entities comprising data elements, or attributes, and methods, or functions, which manipulate the data elements. The attributes and related methods are treated by the software as an entity and can be created, used and deleted as if they were a single item. Together, the attributes and methods enable objects to model virtually any real-world entity in terms of its characteristics, which can be represented by the data elements, and its behavior, which can be represented by its data manipulation functions. In this way, objects can model concrete things like people and computers, and they can also model abstract concepts like numbers or geometrical designs.
Objects are defined by creating "classes" which are not objects themselves, but which act as templates that instruct the compiler how to construct the actual object. A class may, for example, specify the number and type of data variables and the steps involved in the methods which manipulate the data. When an object-oriented program is compiled, the class code is compiled into the program, but no objects exist. Therefore, none of the variables or data structures in the compiled program exist or have any memory allotted to them. An object is actually created by the program at runtime by means of a special function called a constructor which uses the corresponding class definition and additional information, such as arguments provided during object creation, to construct the object. Likewise, objects are destroyed by a special function called a destructor. Objects may be used by using their data and invoking their functions. When an object is created at runtime memory is allotted and data structures are created.
The principle benefits of object-oriented programming techniques arise out of three basic principles; encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance. More specifically, objects can be designed to hide, or encapsulate, all, or a portion of, the internal data structure and the internal functions. More particularly, during program design, a program developer can define objects in which all or some of the attributes and all or some of the related functions are considered "private" or for use only by the object itself. Other data or functions can be declared "public" or available for use by other programs. Access to the private variables by other programs can be controlled by defining public functions for an object which access the object's private data. The public functions form a controlled and consistent interface between the private data and the "outside" world. Any attempt to write program code which directly accesses the private variables causes the compiler to generate an error during program compilation which error stops the compilation process and prevents the program from being run.
Polymorphism is a concept which allows objects and functions which have the same overall format, but which work with different data, to function differently in order to produce consistent results. For example, an addition function may be defined as variable A plus variable B (A+B) and this same format can be used whether the A and B are numbers, characters or dollars and cents. However, the actual program code which performs the addition may differ widely depending on the type of variables that comprise A and B.
Polymorphism allows three separate function definitions to be written, one for each type of variable (numbers, characters and dollars). After the functions have been defined, a program can later refer to the addition function by its common format (A+B) and, at runtime, the program will determine which of the three functions is actually called by examining the variable types. Polymorphism allows similar functions which produce analogous results to be "grouped" in the program source code to produce a more logical and clear program flow.
The third principle which underlies object-oriented programming is inheritance, which allows program developers to easily reuse pre-existing programs and to avoid creating software from scratch. The principle of inheritance allows a software developer to declare classes (and the objects which are later created from them) as related.
Specifically, classes may be designated as subclasses of other base classes. A subclass "inherits" and has access to all of the public functions of its base classes just as if these function appeared in the subclass. Alternatively, a subclass can override some or all of its inherited functions or may modify some or all of its inherited functions merely by defining a new function with the same form (overriding or modification does not alter the function in the base class, but merely modifies the use of the function in the subclass). The creation of a new subclass which has some of the functionality (with selective modification) of another class allows software developers to easily customize existing code to meet their particular needs. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, OOP, or other programming techniques may be employed to implement the representation functions discussed below.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the display 112 may be employed to display information related to various work center operations. In the illustrative embodiment of
In the illustrative embodiment, each monitor 402 and 404 includes a bar chart 412 and 414, respectively, which display the current values of the monitored parameters. Each monitor 402 and 404 also includes respective line charts 408 and 410, that display the historical behavior of the monitored parameters. The scale of each line chart may be modified to, for example, lengthen or shorten the review period and the monitored parameters may be chosen by the supervisor or they may be predetermined as a package set specific to a particular view. The parameter values may be obtained, for example, through a specified database path and SQL (structured query language) query established by the display designer.
In this illustrative embodiment each bar of the bar charts 412 and 414 correlates with one of the monitored parameters. Additionally, the displayed parameters may be heterogeneous in type and, consequently, the scaling employed to size each of the bars may be independent from that employed for every other bar. Conventional techniques, such as scaling to the range of the minimum and maximum values encountered to date, may be employed to dynamically choose the scaling for each bar. Additionally, to visually link the bar chart with an associated line chart and/or other monitors, each bar may be assigned a unique color. Various color intensities, including "pastel" and "vivid" may be employed. In addition to the illustrated bar chart, other display means, such as one that emulates a dial gauge, such as a tachometer, for example, may be employed to illustrate individual skill values.
Each bar within a bar chart such as bar chart 412 may include a visual cue, such as the illustrated "I-beam" shaped glyphs 426 and 428 that provide a visual indication of a range of values, such as a preferred, or "allowed", range of values for the corresponding parameter. Other methods of displaying such ranges of values, including the display of discontinuous ranges (ranges, for example, less than 5 or between 15 and 30) may be employed. The range of interest, an "allowed" range for example, may be set by the display's end-user, such as a supervisor, by a programmer or system integrator that builds the report from which data is displayed, or they may be extracted from a call management system or customer database from which the report is derived. Additionally, the display may employ a graphical user interface to allow a user to adjust these ranges. That is, for example, the graphical user interface may allow a user to adjust the top and bottom horizontal lines of the I-beams glyphs with a mouse to thereby adjust the range of allowable values for a given parameter.
An indication of whether the current value of a parameter falls within an preferred range or not may be provided, for example, by the locations of the extremities of a bar relative to the extremities of the I-beams glyphs. That is, if the top of a bar extends above the top cross piece of an I-beam glyph or bellow the bottom cross-piece of an I-beam glyph, the current value of the parameter lies outside the preferred range. Additionally, color or other attributes of the bar may be employed to alert a user to the fact that a current parameter value falls outside a preferred range. For example, when a current parameter value exceeds the highest or lags the lowest permissible value, the bar color may be switched from a low-key pastel, to an intense, saturated value of the same color. Other visual cues, such as flashing, or specific alarm colors, may be employed in addition to or as a substitute for such color-mapping "alarms".
In another aspect of the invention, the display may be employed as an inter-active component of a contact and fulfillment system by generating an event that is propagated to the remainder of the system. Providing this capability to the display permits the distribution of monitoring and alerting functions to supervisory desktops and allows supervisors to set parameters that may effect the entire system. For example, should a supervisor alter the permissible range of calls in queue for the sales function by altering the I-beam glyph, that change could be reflected in the adjustment of routing algorithms for the system or activating "alert lights" on the walls of a contact and fulfillment center.
A supervisor may modify acceptable parameter ranges, for example, by selecting an I-beam glyph and moving the glyph "up" or "down" on the display in order to change the preferred range correspondingly. A supervisor may also modify one of the limits by selecting one of an I-beam glyph's horizontal cross-pieces and moving it up or down to raise or lower the respective range limit. Additionally, to provide more precise control of the range limits, a popup dialog box may be activated, for example, by "clicking on" an I-beam glyph or related bar graph. The dialog box thus activated may include "low" and "high" range value locations, in which the supervisor may type specific numerical values respectively corresponding to the lower and upper limits of the preferred range for the displayed parameter. Once the values are entered by the supervisor, the I-beam glyph reflects the updated values by lowering or raising one or both of its horizontal cross-members.
Line charts such as line charts 408 and 410 are particularly suited to the temporal analysis of center behavior and to the recognition of trends in the center's operation. The reports illustrated by line charts reflect data updated at intervals that may be specified by a user. In this illustrative embodiment, whenever a report is updated the latest parameter values are reflected in the bar charts 412 and 414 and, at the same time, the line charts 408 and 410 "scroll" to illustrate the updated parameter values. Additionally, in this embodiment, the same color code employed for the bar chart is used in the corresponding line chart.
Dialog boxes 430, distributed across the top of the display 400 in this illustrative embodiment, afford a primary control interface for a supervisor. That is, each of the dialog boxes may provide access to the control of various display features. For example, a supervisor may activate a dialog box, by "clicking on" the box, to select which of several report types to display. The report types may include reports related to specific agents active within the work center, to specific skills involved in the various work center operations, or to other types of supervisory information. Another of the dialog boxes 430 may permit a supervisor to reconfigure alarm indicators, changing an alarm indicator from yellow to red, from a steady display to a flashing display, for example.
The flowchart of
The graphical display may take the form, for example, of a plurality of monitors, each of which includes, line and bar charts, an interpretive key, and labels and affordances, as described in the discussion related to
If user input is detected in step 506, the process proceeds to step 508 where it is determined whether the user input was an indication that the display is to be modified. If the display is to be modified in response to user input, to modify an acceptable range, for example, the process proceeds to step 510 where display information in the display controller 110 is updated accordingly. Additionally, the underlying system may also be modified at this point, with center resources reassigned in response to user modification of the display. From step 510 the process proceeds to step 504 and from there as previously described. If the user input does not require an update to the display, the process proceeds to step 514 where it may continue, returning to display and respond to user input as previously described. From step 514 the process may proceed to end in step 516 when a system being monitored shuts down, for example.
A software implementation of the above described embodiment(s) may comprise a series of computer instructions either fixed on a tangible medium, such as a computer readable media, e.g. diskette 142, CD-ROM 147, ROM 115, or fixed disc 152 of

mommysays crazy babies, bad behavior and throw up
I need silence
It is funny how some days are just so much more difficult to get through than others. Today was a full agenda complete with phone calls that needed to be made and interviews for work to be scheduled. I have to be honest, it was hell.
There was so much noise yet the boys were really not saying anything they needed to say. There was play talk and screeching about "mine" or just chanting the same phrase over and over until I want to rip my ears off. While I write this Dylan is chanting "walking on the floor" over and over. He has to be in the 100s now and nobody knows why. I kind of want to cry. It is like a drop of water hitting me in the forehead. Dear Lord, make it stop for a second.
Dylan is also obsessed with his new flip flops, as am I, they are adorable, so today while I was trying to schedule interviews he just kept saying "my toe-toes Mommy, see my toe toes" I said yes, I see them. I kissed them. I tickled and poked them. I pointed to the phone and made the "Shhh" signal. He got louder. I left a message that rambled on and even though I had a finger in my free ear, I still am not sure I used words in their proper form or if I sounded drunk.
I began to try to escape as I waited for people to answer their end of the phone. The tension built as I realized he was just following me saying it even louder. Then came the "I want them off…NO, I want them on" tantrum.
I work from home. I know I am blessed to be here not missing a thing, but some times I want to miss just a little of all this. I try to work and I feel unproductive and frankly not smart since I can't finish a sentence. I can't hear the thoughts in my head. I try to just be Mommy all day and I feel guilty for not getting work done. Either way, I always suck.
But there are days when it just seems to flow and I am channeling grace and patience. Last week, Dylan got sick in Target while we were having a bite to eat at the Pizza Hut Express. I caught the mess that just kept on giving in every available napkin and got him cleaned up in the car with fresh clothes. He was so grateful. It was one of those mothering moments when I know I am doing all the right things and saying exactly what he needs to hear. He smiled and said thank you and that he felt better. Then he threw up when we got home.
But I handled the whole day with calm, love and concern…and it all came so natural. I cradled his head in my lap and stroked his temples and all was better. And my day felt easy to me. Yet, today with the crazy loud chanting and wrestling and tantrums, I want to hide in a closet.

A Gem from Article-Gems
Article Gems decided to listen to us and has removed the articles!
We have been all over the internet to pull kimkins weeds. One place kimkins articles were found was Article-Gems. They did not respond too well to emails sent by "angry weigh loss people":
Running an article directory – like article-gems is not always easy. Apart from the hundreds of articles each day to approve you occasionally are targeted by spammers – or in the latest case an email campaign from angry weight loss people (must be missing the food). Seriously though we received a number of emails demanding we removed articles on the Kimkins diet because the diet was the subject of litigation.
We make it quite clear in our terms of service will take no responsibility for the content of articles on article-gems. We chose to remove two articles – the first one for failing to comply with our terms of service (it had a link in the main article body) and the second one, because it had an untruth that was publically admitted to be untrue and therefore failed to comply with the spirit of our TOS.
However the over riding principle at article-gems.com is FREEDOM OF SPEECH. If your article complies with our terms of service IT WILL REMAIN – no matter how many angry dieters send us emails.
I have not emailed this site. But now I will.

I'm getting ready to sign up for web development certificate (2 years at local college) and wondering if taking it at my local college vs. online is better. Anyone have any experience? Any recommendations?
By the way, I'm using financial aid to pay for school so I"m sure that limits some of the choices.
It depends on a few things.
Personally, I highly recommend Code School. It starts at only $19 per month (if prepaid for a year) and you get access to everything. I've used it myself to brush up on some skills that I wasn't familiar with. It does take discipline to stick with it though. There's no professor to give you a bad grade if you fall behind. You're basically just motivated by your desire to learn (which it sounds like you have, since you're asking the question).
In my experience, college curriculum is hopelessly out of date, and extremely overpriced. Although I can't speak for the local college you have in mind, in a lot of cases, the material hasn't been updated in several years. Considering how quickly the web development industry moves, learning super dated material may hurt more than help.
If you want the best of both worlds, maybe there is an in-person class available put on by a private training company (i.e. not an accredited educational institution). The Iron Yard and General Assembly are a couple that come to mind, but not sure if they're available in your area.
the standards in different colleges in different countries are huge.
The teacher I had when I went for Digital Media Arts (bits of everything) just to get the basics of all those bits was someone already in the WordPress community in Montreal. I live in Toronto.
After the updates, I upgraded my skills with practice.
Overpriced…meh…same could be said about many elements of our community. Many of those teachers will tell you no. Just like theme/plugin authors overpricing their themes/plugins, yet if you ask them if they are overpriced…they will most likely say no.
I got a degree in digital art - but there's not much that I learnt in those three years that's applicable now. Most of what I know about web design is self taught - so I'd suggest that.
As @leland said - there's a lot of online courses that are awesome - and in general, just doing stuff is a great way to learn.
I'll echo what the others said about "self-learning". It's by far the more common way that people in the industry learn. And because you have to keep learning every single day you work in this industry, developing the ability to learn on your own is probably just as important as what you actually learn.
But motivation can be really difficult. If you go the self-learning route, I'd strongly encourage you to seek out and participate in local groups where you can meet other people who will inspire you, encourage you, keep your motivation up and help you out along the way.
You'll find WordPress meetups, PHP meetups, frontend developer meetups and more. If you live too far from any of these meetups, find supportive online groups of people who you can stay in regular contact with. Even pay for this if you need to.
One of my cousin is studying web design in a local college. Glad I didn't. They are teaching html based on tables and columns. Most shocking is he don't have any idea about linking separate css file, as he is styling everything in same html file. I told him that he is 20 years behind.
I'm entirely self-taught in the sense that I've learned as I go, but I've also had some awesome professional mentors along the way in the field, challenging me to think differently. I've been mentoring someone for a couple months now and they've done an awesome job progressing. We meet every other week and I give them homework (e.g. make a plugin that adds a custom post type with custom fields and columns) and have them use online resources (e.g. Code Academy). When we meet I just let him ask questions about concepts and anything he's been struggling with.
To my knowledge, the issue academia is having presently is that it takes years for a curriculum to be written and accepted, and in that time web technology has progressed too quickly. Learning to develop online is like learning how to canoe in a river. It's not just being able to traverse it at one given point, but being along the journey and having traveled some distance through shallows, depths, rapids, and forks. College teaches you all about the canoe, but what makes someone truly proficient is knowing the river itself. Going the self-taught route can be hard, especially if it's alone, but by doing so you learn both the canoe and the river at the same time.
What I will give academia is that it does dive pretty deep into things like server-side management and computer science, which can give you a pretty intricate idea of not just how things work, but why things work. A good number of web developers I run into aren't entirely sure what's going on behind the scenes (especially front-end developers, which is an interested concept in and of itself). That extra knowledge can make you pretty formidable. It's certainly possible to learn that yourself, but it is pretty difficult.
Hope this helps!

Your noise is rather distinct to the one-man band category, being that it's more a mix of folk-punk, antifolk, and alt-blues than anything else. What influenced you to embrace such a noise, specifically in a genre where the controling sounds have the tendency to be blues trash, blues punk, primitive rock 'n' roll, and garage punk?

After hiring him, ask him to describe whatever that will occur to you. A great DUI attorney understands the charges, in addition to your rights.

text: Anybody seen this movie, or planning on seeing it? I want to see it, but I also heard that the carnage is intense and not for the faint of heart. I love a good action thriller taking place on the open range - the Australian outback in this cas - but their are some things I can't stomach, such as intense, drawn-out torture (walked out on Passion of the Christ), and grisly killings of woman and/or children. Any reviews or input?

The Rockstar is Rebel's most popular size board. It comfortably holds 10-12 average size pedals. It is large enough to keep your most valued pedals on board at all times but still light weight enough ... Click To Read More About This Product
The Rockstar is Rebel's most popular size board. It comfortably holds 10-12 average size pedals. It is large enough to keep your most valued pedals on board at all times but still light weight enough to travel without a roadie. The rigid construction of the ROCKSTAR, with its steel reinforcements, will perform even under the most rigorous gigging. Whether in the studio or live on stage you will not find more function and reliability in any other platform. Gig the Rockstar with confidence.
Rebel Boards works hard to provide the best pedal board money can buy at a price that is second to none. Every one of their boards are handcrafted and made in the USA. They come stock with rubber steel reinforced non-slip feet, two locking 1/4" TS/TRS chassis jacks (input from guitar and output to amp), stainless steel handles, and their signature dumbell cut out top. Rebel Boards are constructed out of 11-ply commercial grade hardwood, reinforced with steel L-brackets, assembled with heavy gauge wood screws and industrial strength wood glue for a complete rigid buil.
Every board is hand-painted in a distressed coating and sealed to protect its one of a kind finish. Rebel designed their boards with the gigging artist in mind, cut on a 9˚ pitch. This creates just the right angle to relax your foot on the first row of pedals without having to tiptoe around to get to the top pedals. Now you can push your gear to the limits in comfort. Their boards sit 1/2" off the ground on rubber bumper feet which give the player the padded cushion shock absorbance they need with enough rigidity to keep the board from sliding all over the stage no matter the surface.
The 4" stainless steel handles are large enough to get a good firm grip of your board but still low profile enough to keep that sleek sexy look you want in great custom gear. Most custom board makers use a 3" recessed power input which takes up a lot of valuable real estate on the side of your board; Rebel uses a very slimline IEC grounded AC input jack that connects to any AC power cable. Their original dumbell cut out top allows you to use any cable any size up to an XLR and still route from the top without huge gaping holes in your board. This allows you infinite cable and routing configurations without compromising its looks or stability.

I'm in college and my friend keeps trying to set me up with guy friends of hers. the only problem is that all these friends of hers go to another school...usually an 1-2 hours away. I'm not entirely sure I want to be in a relationship right now (i've never been in one before and I just want to focus on school right now) usually I just say "no thanks. I'm fine" and she drops it with that guy. but now, the new guy she is trying to set me up with is her boyfriend's roommate. and she's talked about me to that guy (which she hadn't done with all the previous guys). so now this guy is interested in meeting me and has friended me on Facebook. I don't want to seem rude and deny the friend request...but at the same time I don't want to accept, start talking to him and lead him on. I'd rather not my first relationship ever start off as long distance. he's cute and seems like a great guy and all...and he's interested in me which is a first...no guy has ever shown interest in me. so maybe it could turn out great...or maybe not. idk.
any advice?
1. about a month ago he got out of a long term relationship...not entirely sure how long the relationship was but I know it was at least 6 months.
2. I go to an all girls college...so I can't really date guys at my school haha. but there is a university just down the road and I'm over there once a week. I think it would be much more ideal to meet a guy there...
Most Helpful Girl
I answered based on your request :)
Listen dear. I have been in two LDRs before and I don't recommend it at all. There are a few reasons why you shouldn't do that:
1- You seem like you are happily single and even if you want a relationship you want him by your side, support you and hang out with you and to enjoy your time together. LDRs are hard and problems arise because of the distance. A lot of drama rise from trust issues, being far from you, etc...
2- You will hurt the guy. He just ended a relationship and if you left or drama happened, he will panic and get depressed.
I suggest that you tell your friend to stop setting you up because you don't want to. Be polite yet firm with her. As for the guy, don't accept his frend request because if you did you are giving him hope. High hopes and expectations lead to frustration and depression eventually. Don't feel bad because you are doing him a favor. Good luck. :)11|00|0
thanks :) you definitely cleared things up for me haha
I am glad. :)

The Iditarod with a chance of drowning
The Wave Writer - Kurt Hoehne, on the R2AK and its founder, Jake Beattie, and the Brown/Bieker proa of Team Pure & Wild. -Editor
In today's world, there are few adventures with Big Questions. It seems every adventure has been done at least once before. Somebody's going to find a new route to the summit, win the game on a superlative performance or lucky bounce, or find that extra bit of speed around the race. Those are relatively Little Questions.
Maybe that's the appeal of the inaugural Race to Alaska (R2AK). It asks Big Questions. There aren't a whole lot of rules other than make your way to Ketchikan via boat. The boat can't have an engine and has to pass through only three checkpoints along the way. Use whatever boat you want and go the route you want.
There's no big safety equipment checklist (there is a little one, however). There are no scantlings to adhere to, no nanny boats to accompany the fleet. The race organizers are leaving it to the competitors to manage the dangers themselves.
"It's like the Iditarod. With a chance of drowning, being run down by a freighter or eaten by a grizzly bear."

Health Care for the Homeless: Hospital Referrals
• The Midnight Mission has a 1 year Healthy Living Program, the goal of which is independent, self-sufficiency.
• We do have emergency type overnight shelter in our courtyard; this area is generally not
suitable for a patient who has been hospitalized.
• If being discharged with medication to our program we would ask that the patient have a 30

• Do not drop patients off without written confirmation from The Midnight Mission.
1. Upon contact, the Hospital representatives must complete the Hospital to Homeless Service
Provider Referral Form (download form here) and fax to (213) 553-2359.
2. The Midnight's hospital liaison will review the completed form and make contact with Hospital representative to determine if the patient is an appropriate referral for our programs.
3. If the patient is an appropriate referral The Midnight's representative will complete the Receiving Facility Section of the Hospital to Homeless Service Provider Referral form with a confirmation number (a unique ID). A copy is faxed to the Hospital Representative.
4. The Midnight's representative will make contact with Hospital representative to coordinate a date and time for a warm hand off.
5. An informational email with the patient's name, date of arrival and name of hospital will go to
Healthy Living Staff, Security, and Public Affairs.

I am highly allergic to hair dye: blisters-large and they hurt and ooze, swelling of lymph nodes, face and eye swollen, etc. i have been very fortunate to have had no gray and I am 67. then one day i began to get gray esp. around the scalp line. if i pulled by hair back, there they were. I am a dark brunette. I have tried foils but even those once in a while would seep into my scalp and i was miserable. I would have to take a bunch of benadryl before having even foils. And since I still work I had to make sure it was on days that I was free as benadryl makes me sleepy. I patched tested several 'non-allergenic" brands but each caused a pretty healthy reaction even with dosing of benadryl. i tried brands without ppd and nope, I had reactions. I tried glosses and glazes and still had moderate reactions. I wasn't ready to give up and then i tried palette. first ,it is messy and time consuming, but again i am not used to coloring my hair. I didn't follow the heating part-did that once with foil and it just seeped into my scalp and i was left with all the above symptoms.. I have had NO adverse reaction. did it cover all the gray the first time-no but it did a lot of it. I have shoulder length hair and did not use the whole box-i was nervous using it and that may be another reason for it not getting all the silver. i am just amazed and pleased that there is a product i can use and yes, it is not cheap. There was no color change but i wanted just to hide the grey so this was perfect for me. my hair looks natural.

Palette by Nature epic fail:
Having had a really bad reaction to hair dye and tints after 20 + years, I had various tests to confirm severe allergy to PPD and all associated chemicals, so i was really excited to find this product.
2 1/2 hours later, not a single grey has been covered, i followed the instructions to the letter, i timed every thing, I even re-checked i hadn't messed up the bottles, so sad a frustrated.
All i can say is do not waste your money,other than my hair has a nice sheen (which I could have got that from an olive oil wrap) in about 20 minutes . . . .
I have sent an email to the company asking them to respond and i will let you know.
In the meantime if anyone can recommend a product that contains no chemicals or henna (too much bad hype) please post it.

Does not work! I just wasted the whole morning coloring my hair using this product and over $100 because I purchased 4 bottles after reading and believing the few good reviews and discarded the bad reviews on this product. Not one single gray hair was dyed. I'm going back to using Natural Instinct which works perfectly beautifully for me in the last 10 years. I changed to Palette by Nature because I read about PPD. Until I find a PPD free product that's proven to work with money back guarantee, I'm going back to use what worked for a fraction of the cost and 1/4 of the time to use. Utterly unhappy with this product!

First.....after reading over the reviews for this product....I am very sorry for everyone who did not have a good experience. I happen to like the product because it is PPD free, and because I have had cancer, it is important for me to use something that eliminates chemicals that could be potentially harmful to my body.
I have been using the product for several years. I have naturally black hair. Because of this, my expectations of full coverage are more realistic I think. It really doesn't bother me that it doesn't cover every single grey hair...I am almost 60 for crying out loud...lol!
The application process is a bit long and tedious. I bought a hairdryer with a bonnet and leave it on high for about 40 minutes or so after the application process. Like I said, it doesn't fully cover the grey but it covers enough of it that I can live with it. The alternative to using no product at all is not very appealing to me.
I have not had a problem with an itchy scalp or other problems reported by some, although one can develop an allergy to something after continuous use. I will continue to use it for as long as I can or just get plain tired of the fuss.
Oh yes....as a side note, I have used Ecocolors in the past, quite a bit actually. I quit that because of the use of ppd in the product. I'm not sure if Ecocolors stll has ppd in it or not. I have also used henna. The Ecocolors was by far the easiest of the three products, but again switched because of the ppd issues.
The cost of this product is high. I especially don't like the fact that they tell you you are receiving a $1.00 off the product which in fact forces you to buy another box to qualify for the free shipping. I consider that underhanded on their part.

I am very allergic to several hair color products. The reaction had become more serve over the past few years even though I had colored my hair for 15 years. I tried Nuturcolor from Whole Foods which gave me beautiful results but after 4 times even that caused a reaction for me. I called number on box and spoke to rep and found out that it contains very small amount of PPD. The reaction affects my nervous system which is very terrifying. I quickly rinsed off product after only 5 minutes on my head and called my doctor. He told me to take 1 & 1/2 dose of Benadryl and drink 2 water bottles. If I didn't feel better in 5 minutes he wanted me to call 911. I paced my house wondering what to do. In 20-30 minutes later I was completely fine. Scary stuff I felt like I was being poisoned I went to an allergist and strangely I am not allergic to PPD but allergic something else in hair color products. Determined to find a product I had the Allergist do additional testing on me for what is known to be a safer product called EcoColor ( free of PPD, resorcinol, ethanolamine and propylene), but even that gave me a reaction. I possibly narrowed it down to be allergic to aminophenol. My allergist can do testing for 2 versions of aminophenol but he would have to special order this type of testing. It is crazy researching what is in so many hair color products and how harmful they can be. I safely tried Madison Reed semi-permanent gloss after patch test but it washed out after a few washings I am so glad that I tried Palette by Nature. I did a patch test for 48 hours first without any adverse reactions. I have fine textured, medium blonde hair with large gray skunk like areas at both temples and gray around my face Odd looking if I go were to go natural. Thank you, Thank you Palette by Nature for creating a permanent hair color product that works for me. I only needed 1/3 of each of the bottles to cover my gray. I poured product along a comb and got as close to root area as I could to be on the safe side. Now I look like a younger me thanks to 9N which gave me a light blonde deposit on my gray hair. I could go darker but I am enjoying the blonder hair look around my face just fine. I'll be ordering more color soon to have on hand and will even buy color protecting products. Moral of the story. Always do a patch test, listen your body, seek medical advise if necessary but perhaps there is a product out there that will work for you. I hate to give 5 out of 5 after only 1 use.

What a scam!
I should have paid more attention to reviews before buying this product. I lost time and money and my hair is the same as before the coloration. No coverage at all! I followed meticulously the instructions, I used the hair blower for 30 minutes after application. My grey roots is still grey, my hair is sticky and greasy (after three shampoo trying to remove that greasy deposit) and it made a mess everywhere; it stains the sink, the tub, my hands...Good thing bleach worked cleaning everything. So after spending +30 dollars for a box, and after using 1 and 1/2 box to cover my mid-lenght thick hair, and after over two hours process (one natural base to apply, followed by the color, then the heat for 30 minutes), there is no difference. Very disappointed, I will never buy this product again.

There is no customer service ,so even if they send leaked bottles we don't get proper response to our queries .
No idea why they call this as permanent hair color, never even changed the color of single hair .Dont waste your money, people who have left positive reviews are probably paid by the company.

i signed up just to write this review. as i write this, 1 week after "dying my hair", I'm so itchy everywhere the dye touched my skin that i just popped a benadryl, i still have black stuff all over my itchy scalp and it did not cover my gray whatsoever. the dye literally stuck to everything except for gray hair. after i rinsed out the dye in the shower, i had to scrub my bathtub in a panic because it was stuck everywhere and now there are stains, then i got out of the shower and looked in the mirror. to my disbelief and horror, a film of gray covered my face and all over my back, my hands were dark gray, essentially wherever the dye touched when rinsing it out. i quickly used the enclosed dye remover with a cotton ball all over my face and hands, over my eyelids and under my eyes. this removed the dye but it was a scary experience. my back was still gray. i looked at my scalp and was shocked to see how much was still stuck on it. one week later there is still a lot of crud falling off my scalp and getting everywhere. i am itchy everywhere the dye was, my back, my hands and my scalp. it's getting worse everyday. i scratch so much i may need to go to the doctor's if this doesn't subside. i have so much black stuff under my nails from scratching my scalp. i am so miserable. all this suffering and it did not cover my grays, and i only have a couple hundred grays.

I had a good experience with the product both the permanent and the touch up versions. It blended in the grays around my hairline nicely. I think it takes a day or two on the hair to oxidise and develop the colour. Glad to have found a product that is cosmetically acceptable without PPDs.

I normally use Eccocolors, but the problem is that after 2 weeks my hair becomes redish, so I decided to try Palette by Nature, I am sad I did.
I have few white hairs, like 20, and after a lenghthy 1 hour, the greys were not covered :(. Also, before coloring with palette by nature, my hair was soft, now it feels like there is some product build up. Dont waste your money, people who have left positive reviews are probably paid by the company

When you have lack of storage at your home, you will need to manage storage outside of your home. You can of course hire the outside facilities for your storage purposes. But you will need the climate controlled storage facility for many special reasons. Let us talk about why you are going to need it.
What is a climate controlled storage facility?
It is a common thing in the normal house hold to use a storage room for the usual storing. But sometimes you will need specialized storage. And there are other things that need some serious types of storage. In this case you choose a climate controlled storage facility. When you need to store the things that not only need to be protected by a good shade but also with the temperature and moistures, then you will need a climate controlled storage facility.
Why should you choose it?
Some of things cannot be normally preserved in the normal situations. So you need to store them carefully. Otherwise they will rust and corrode. You can not just leave them out in the open. You have to keep them in specialized care one with control of the temperature.
What are the things that need climate controlled storage facility
If you just want a list of things that need to be in the climate controlled storage facilities. Delicate parts, foods etc can be stored in these facilities. But you can also store boats and other things that are too big and not usable in the winter. In the same way, during summer you can also store the things that you can use only in winter.
What you can not store
You should not use the storage facilities to store illegal drugs. Also you should not place flammable materials in the storages without taking special measures. Contact the storage authority please.
Climate controlled storage facilities is one of the best gifts of modern technology. Use it wisely. If you are confused, then research a little bit or ask around. Choose the best one that you can find.

To celebrate Thanksgiving this year, I wanted something different than the usual burlap/pumpkin/orange type of tablescape, something a little unexpected. With the big day just around the corner, I had to do something fast, but something that embodied the meaning of the day. I went no further than my refrigerator, and filled a beautiful large porcelain dish with everything purple. After all, a table full of vegetables is indeed a symbol of the bounty with which we are blessed, a thank you for the plenteous, and a reason to enjoy a great feast with family and friends.
Dark colors remain, for me, the most festive, the most glorious, the most dressy and sophisticated colors of all. Burgundy, ebony, iron gray, coal black are all very suitable for a celebration and my DIY placemats in a bordeaux color reflect this sense of elegance, too. They're very easy to make, I'll show you how – and you will not need a sewing machine! Just before taking the pictures, I thought of adding the monogram of each guest. This detail can actually be done on any placemat that you already own or that you plan on making in the future.
Eggplant, purple cabbage, purple top turnip are far from the vegetables that the Pilgrims harvested with the help of the Native Americans back in the 17th century, but they're still an expression of gratitude in today's world. There are many more purple vegetable that could be added to make a purple tablescape, such as purple carrots, purple cauliflower, beetroot, purple artichoke and more.
The flowering kales sit in a glass bowl. I cut them off their root (no one needs dirt on their dinner table), and they're actually a lot cheaper than any flower arrangement I can think of, and just as impressive. They are less than $5 each at your nursery store.
I've used these LED candles on numerous occasions: last year on our Thanksgiving tablescape, on our New Year's tablescape, inside the DIY Halloween Paper Lanterns, and for my mantel decoration. This year, with a little bow from the same fabric I used for the placemats, they're once again on our Thanksgiving table.
To make the placemats, you will need:
The placemats are simple cardboard covered with fabric. The fabric is a 100% polyester quilted material, a little thicker as it has a thin layer of batting inside, and very suitable for this kind of diy.
For the cardboard, I used an Elmer's Tri-Fold Display Board (Michaels.com) as it is sturdy and straight. Each foldable side part measures 12 x 36 inches, and when cut in half, it makes two perfect sized 12 x 18 inches placemats, thus four placemats in total. More placemats can be cut from the middle part of the board.
With the foam brush, apply a generous coat of glue on the cardboard, position the fabric (cut about 1½ inches bigger than the cardboard) on the cardboard, fold on the back and secure with more glue, and tape if needed.
The monogram is made from minuscule rhinestone stickers that I put together to form the initial of each of my guests. They can be used on any kind of placemat, and they're easily removable.
Happy Thanksgiving!
