Make it feel like home.
Why stage your home?
One of the best tools for selling your home is staging.
Why? We are so glad you asked! See our top reasons for staging your home below.
#1: Your home will sell faster!
Staged homes spend, on average, 72% less time on the market (Real Estate Staging Association Survey)
#2: Your home will sell for more!
Staged homes sell for an average of 10% more than unstaged homes in the same neighborhood.
#3: Buyers will make an emotional connection.
In a recent National Association of Realtors survey the vast majority of buyers said it was much easier to visualize living in a staged house.
#4: Awesome listing photos!
More than 90% of buyers will see your home online before making the decision to view it in person. Photos of a staged home will catch the eye of your buyer and allow them to make that all important emotional connection with your home before even viewing it it person.
#5: Unstaged rooms highlight flaws.
Empty rooms, clutter, less than ideal furniture placement, etc. all highlight your home's flaws. Staging helps a buyer overlook flaws and fall in love with the best your home has to offer.
#6: A huge return on investment.
Most sellers spend less than 0.5% – 1% of their home's value on staging but receive, on average, a 10x return on their investment! Did you do the math yet? That is huge!
Not all staging is created equal. A good designer highlights the style and character of your home with furniture and accessories. Are you sold on staging your home? Let us know! email@example.com or call (760) 500-0882 to setup a pre-listing staging consultation.

Choosing your suppliers/
Looking for suppliers and working out who is going to be your 'dream team' can be a little daunting at first. Wedding planners have an extensive contacts book of suppliers to suit a huge range of tastes and budgets that we're able to recommend (Some planners will take commission from suppliers but I personally don't, so all reductions I get as a planner I pass on to my clients).
One of the really important factors when choosing your wedding day team, which is often forgotten - is to choose people you actually like! It can be a long process and many of the suppliers you choose (planner / photographer / videographer / glam team / catering / bar etc) will also be present on your wedding day so along with making sure they suit your style and budget, please make sure you are happy to spend the next 18 months with them as part of your life! It's a relationship built on trust, not only that they will deliver what they've promised, but also that they will listen to you along the way and create what you both want.

Hodge Podge
Here are some photos that i have had for a while that I needed to post (along with their stories). Sorry for the hodge podge of information!
Approximately six days after buying four brand new tires, I went to my car in the morning only to find this sticking out of my now flat tire. Joy.
The good news is that they replaced it.
Here is a before and after of some wall tiles that we have. We have had them for about three years. When I bought them they were shiny red, but I painted them to match our decor(one orange, one deep red and another brown). They were matte in appearance and I have always thought they might look better with a glossy coat. So I gave them a little gloss!
Before - except for in bright light, you couldn't see the awesome pattern on the tin tile.
After - now the unique texture is more obvious.
I received some doilies recently from my parents. They were doilies that my grandma Patterson had and some of them were even made by my great grandmothers. I wanted to display them in a fun way (see this post), so I looked high and low for fun frames to set them off.
Eventually I found these frames at Esme's. Esme's is the world's greatest junk shop. Seriously. They are only open once a month and are "on the path" to closing as they gradually sell out their vast storehouse. But I am optimistic that they will never really close their doors. At least not while I'm around. :) But I digress. These frames were hideous. I do not have any photographs that do them justice. They were bright gold and very ornate (well they are still ornate, I guess). Now, they are a nice tone of "hammered steel". Here is the before.
The during...
And after. The "after" shot doesn't do it justice. It is really a darker color like the "during" photo...
Seriously, if you ever spray paint this is the best stuff in the universe. With the hammered steel look it disguised uneven spraying and looks good on everything!
Now that they are done, I need to choose the colors I want to use for our bedroom. Marc and I are going to get a new comforter. We love our "current" one, but it is NEVER used. It is HUGE and cumbersome and it is easier to just keep it in the closet. We don't sleep with it because it is silk and satin, and taking it on and off the bed is just not that practical for us. We are going to keep it for a guest room someday, but in the meantime, we want a nice bedspread/comforter that we can easily sleep with, launder and decorate around. So finding a nice new comforter is next on my list. It has to be cheap and it needs to go with our dark brown (chocolate) curtains. Let me know if you have ideas of stores I should check.
Once the comforter is picked, I will find a coordinating fabric to put behind the doilies when I frame them. See! It all connects. I could tell you were worried I had just gone on another tangent. :)
On a completely different note. I called my Mom last week and I was surprised to hear a voice from my past! My friend from high school, Christie, was at Mom and Dad's with her cute little boy Elliot! Isn't he adorable?! I haven't seen Christie since our sophomore year of college, so it was nice to chat with her on the phone. It sounds like she is a great momma and I look forward to seeing her the next time I am in South Dakota. Congrats on the cutest little bug, Christie and Brad!
In this picture you can see Elliot smiling at a photo of Marc and me. He liked our photo so much he cried when Christie put it down! :)
What do you get when you mix Midwestern do-it-yourselfers with a car in need of an oil change?
A good old-fashioned oil-change-by-flashlight, of course! Here our the upstairs neighbors Amber and Chris working to change the oil in Amber's car.
The funniest part was that they were doing it at about 9:00 at night. :)
Julie always has to get in on the oil change action. She is truly her father's daughter!
RJ, making sure Julie was okay under the car. :) So sweet!
I am pretty sure that is enough randomness for now. If you like, check out my "other" work-related blog (http://www.methodistchildrenshome.blogspot.com).

Friendship, Emotions and Me
"Our emotional lives move up and down constantly. Sometimes we experience great mood: swings from excitement to depression, from joy to sorrow, from inner harmony to inner chaos. A little event, a word from someone, a disappointment in work, many things can trigger such mood swings. Mostly we have little control over these changes. It seems that they happen to us rather than being created by us.
Thus it is important to know that our emotional life is not the same as our spiritual life. Our spiritual life is the life of the Spirit of God within us. As we feel our emotions shift we must connect our spirits with the Spirit of God and remind ourselves that what we feel is not who we are. We are and remain, whatever our moods, God's beloved children."
I guess I've been dealing with this a lot lately. I have been struggling with my emotions and my desire for meaningful friendships with other women of God, and it is easy to let that control my spiritual walk as well as my emotional life. Being so far from the support of family and friends who have known me my whole life makes it even harder to see the silver lining on this Waco chapter of our lives. While my husband is amazing and I have some wonderful friends here, there is something precious about feeling "known" by another feminine soul that I long for and miss.
But I know that Nouwen is right. What I feel is not who I am. Though I feel lonely I am never alone. Though I feel forgotten there is one who never forgets. Though I feel hurt and unimportant there is One who binds my imagined wounds and values me enough to give His life for me. And though I feel afraid I am not in danger. My prayer is that the truth of these statements would seep into every part of my soul, offering hope and comfort.

Summer Fun in Waco
I like to call this one, "What is, "That thing you never want to see on your sidewalk unattended."
Marc and I on our little Austin getaway. We did this on MCH's dime too! The great thing about my job is that I can combing work and pleasure. I had a meeting in Austin for work and I took Marc along so we could celebrate his birthday Austin style! :) Here we are at Kurby Lane enjoying an outdoor lunch.
This is the ice cream Marc received at Diary Queen in McGregor, Texas. I think the guy making the cone was either new, or definitely beat to his own drummer...
Me and my little Lynne. This was on the Fourth of July right before we went to watch the fireworks. Lynne and her hubby Adam (and little Kyleigh Jo - in utero, of course) joined my parents and I for the fourth of July. It was a ton of fun.
I made this flower pin for my purse. It is made from a fabric covered button!

Mattress Story
When we were dating, Marc shared with me that in his previous relationship they had struggled with physical boundaries and he didn't want to take any chances with our relationship because it was too important. AW! :)
So, at that point we decided to not kiss until we got engaged (and then, only when we said goodbye at night). We also decided to have a "no-horizontal" rule. The no-horizontal rule is simple. Only one of us could be horizontal at a time. For example, Marc could lay down with his head in my lap, but I had to sit up. Or, I could lay down, but Marc had to sit up. The idea was that it would help set a boundary. It is silly, but it was our rule.
In May before we got married, we went to Unclaimed Freight Furniture to select a mattress. The salesman patiently took us around to each of the mattresses and sold us on their "features." At each of the beds Marc would lay down, get up and then I would lay down. Occasionally we would both be on the bed at the same time, but one of us would sit up as the other laid down to try it out. After several beds, the salesman looked at us quizzically and said, "You know, you CAN both lay down on the bed at the same time, right?" It was hilarious. Of course, I'm sure we looked so stupid to him and to every other salesperson and customer in the store, but to us we were just following the "rules."
After turning red, mumbling something about purity, and buying a mattress, we laughed our heads off. It was hilarious. And the bed selection was great, even if it was selected in an "unconventional" manor.

I must have been crazy...
Here is a little look at what my Mom and I made over the 4th of July weekend/vacation. It only took the two of us two full days of work! Sense the sarcasm?
By the time we were nearing completion my sanity was questionable and I would have definitely given up if it were not for my steady sewing-guru-of-a-mother. Thanks, Mom.
Here is the EXPENSIVE version of the pretty ruffled shower curtain from India Rose. It is called, and I am not kidding about this one, the "White Devil."
For a mere $98 dollars this could be yours! "Well," I thought, "I could make that!" And I was right. I could. But now I know that I would never want to. I also know why it is called the "White Devil." That thing is a monster dressed in white frills.
Seriously, after finishing it, Mom and I both swore we would NEVER make one again. Not for $500. Really. But if you are really serious, make me an offer and we can talk... :)
Here is another inspiration photo from Anthropologie and it sold for a mere $98. I love their stuff. Someday when my husband is a wealthy pastor I'll have to buy stuff from their magazine (ha!). Until then, I'll just keep *ahem* stealing their great ideas and repurposing them for my home (on a much cheaper scale).
Note: This is no longer on the Anthropologie site (now they only sell colorful versions of the curtain).
I don't remember where I found this inspiration photo (if you find it, let me know and I'll link to it). This was the biggest inspiration piece for our creation.
And here are some photos from our sewing adventure.
In the beginning, we had good intentions...
Can you tell it is a forced smile? Just kidding. :)
Our sewing setup in the dining room.
Mom is ironing a hem. I can't even begin to tell you how many yards we hemmed...
Even after all this fancy math work we still went back to the fabric store TWO TIMES to get more fabric. What can we say, we never claimed to be math whizzes!
Here is Oscar... "helping" *ahem*
He LOVED resting on the ruffles.
So, without further ado...
The final product...
Ignore the toilet, towels and bad photography. Beyond that I think it looks pretty good. Thoughts?
I also like our tab-tops a lot better than the button holes on the original.
I had to have at least one silly shot. :)
Love you, Mom. Come back to Texas!!!!

A Little Laugh
A Sunday school teacher asked, 'Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?' 'No,' replied Johnny. 'How could he, with just two worms.'
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know.'
The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why. 'Well, Honey,' he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. 'I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon.' 'So, how come He doesn't?' she asked.
During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a loud whistle from one of the back pews. Tommy's mother was horrified. She pinched him into silence and, after church, asked, 'Tommy, whatever made you do such a thing?' Tommy answered soberly, 'I asked God to teach me to whistle, and He did!'

The ancient wisdom of yoga has surprisingly simple answers for the problems we have today: stress, obesity, food allergies, burn-outs, shoulder, back and neck pain.
Yoga is hot in the West. The physical part that is. But yoga is so much more than asanas. Yoga is a lifestyle. A way to keep your body and your mind healthy by exercising and by questioning ourselves: why do we do what we do, why do we react the way we react, why do we think the way we think. It's this research of our selves, combined with the ability of being in the moment that can bring us this ultimate happiness; the bliss yogis always talk about.
This bliss is not something that just will come. It requires training. Exercise. Just as a football player has to train every day to improve himself a yogi has to meditate, do pranayama, eat healthy and do asanas every day. In our shop you will find soon courses to start and/or deepen your yoga, meditation and pranayama practice; to help you find this ultimate happiness as well.

The company produces a range of more than 120 relishes, pickles and preserves and increasing sales year after year with complete consistency. Their commitment to excellence and innovation has seen them guesting on Ready Steady Cook and presenting their products to HM the Queen as well as delighting customers everywhere.
The Challenge
The company has always used LPG to cook its ever-expanding range and was born out of adversity back in 2001 when the national epidemic of foot and mouth disease in cattle restricted movement around the countryside and made tourists reluctant to visit. Mark and Maria's Hawkshead village café suffered as a result, but Mark's relishes and preserves were always popular with café customers. So with fewer customers coming to him, he took his products to them, selling to delis, hotels, garden centres, restaurants and stately homes. Then the couple took the plunge, converted the café to a shop showcasing their own products, and they have never looked back.
What we did
AvantiGas came into play around five years ago, when expanding production for Hawkshead Relish products from sales all over the UK and increasing exports (they're now in around 40 countries) made a reliable and economical LPG supplier all the more vital.
The results
Every year more and more discerning foodies choose to take Mark's advice to "embellish with relish" and Mark and Maria's commitment to excellent ingredients and innovative recipes continues to win awards. One of Mark's most recent creations, Black Garlic Ketchup, is flying off the shelves and has already won five awards, most recently at The World Food Innovation Awards where it was named Best Condiment. Their Westmorland Chutney is another firm favourite while other new products include Salted Banoffee Mudd. The shop, nearby lakeside production base and Ambleside labelling unit provide employment for 30 local people.
If you'd told me 20 years ago what I'd be doing now I wouldn't have believed you.Mark Whitehead, the Hawkshead Relish Company

Deltek's GovWin Consulting Study Places NetApp First Among Key Storage Vendors With More Than 40% Market Share
MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwire - Nov 29, 2012) - After thorough analysis of federal procurement data ranging from 2009 to 2011, GovWin Consulting, the management consulting division of Deltek, identified NetApp as the top vendor serving the federal government's information storage needs. The study revealed that NetApp held a 41.2% market share in FY 2011. Overall, the top five vendors represent 86% of the federal market, with NetApp (
"NetApp has been committed to its customers in the federal market for 20 years," said Mark Weber, president of NetApp's U.S. Public Sector unit. "Both defense and civilian agencies are seeing a substantial increase in the volume of storage they need. When you add big data, cloud computing, mobility, and virtualization into the networking mix, the demand for capacity is only going to continue to grow. We have strong relationships with all of our federal customers, rooted in NetApp's game-changing and innovative products and services that will enable them to unleash the power of their data."
GovWin Consulting determined that the total estimated federal storage market was $1.01B in FY 2011, which excludes intelligence agencies and other agencies such as the United States Postal Service and the Department of Energy labs that do not report spending data. The study found that the compound annual growth rate from FY 2009 to FY 2011 for NetApp was 33.6%, with its nearest competitor, EMC, at 19%.
"The federal data storage market presents some unique challenges given the various mandates, regulations, and demands on federal agencies," said Pierre Bernasconi of GovWin Consulting. "Although IT spending may decrease with the current budgetary issues facing the government, the cloud computing mandate, and FDCCI, the exponential increase in big data and full-motion video on government networks and new IT-based health services and medical should continue to expand the opportunities in the federal data storage market."
GovWin Consulting also revealed that the defense department, which includes the armed services and DoD agencies, is the largest buyer of data storage. Among the top five storage-buying departments, Health and Human Services is the only civilian agency. Within the DoD, the Army is the top storage buyer, which is among the agencies for which NetApp has the leading market share. This comprehensive data underscores NetApp's commitment to its government customers and its ability to provide market-leading technologies to solve today's major IT challenges.

When we hear the word "bandage," there are spring up an association with medicine, operations. Indeed, the bandage is the French word "bandage" (from the word – bander) and means a unique belt made of wear-resistant, hygienically clean material, readily amenable to sanitation in warm soapy water. Moreover, the world designers saw practicality and comfort, which gives the bandage, decided to take as a basis for the construction of the bandage and create comfortable clothes for the women, and then bathing suits. "Bando" is always on top of the fashion trend. The decoration of the beach ensemble is a new drapery – a convenient solution for visually increasing the bust, creek, lace inserts, embroidery, and scenery of rhinestones. The absence of belts will save you from having to become attached to the general beach ensemble – from above, Sarafan, clothes. Bandeau swimsuits are perfect for any shape. This is important to consider only when choosing a model for cuts, styles, and colors. Swimsuit bando is a real silhouette, comfortable sensations, limitless possibilities for design fantasy.
Bandeau plus size swimwear – a loose or separate women's bathing suit
Leaf swimsuit covers the chest like a tight bandage. A classic gang is available without strapless. A more modern version is equipped with straps fastened around the middle of the chest or on the sides of the upper part of the swimsuit tied around the neck. They are given a decorative role, given the subtlety and inability to support the breast. This function is performed sewed on the sides of the cups bones. Swimsuit bando is ideal for women with a slim figure, an excellent solution for those who want to transfer the focus to the chest area, to divert attention from the flaws on the hips. Women of small stature, with a short body or male type of the shoulder girdle, when choosing a "bando," it is recommended to stop on a separate swimsuit and give up shorts. Otherwise, the figure will appear disproportionate. The current color palette is blue, lilac, orange, yellow, sand, and aquamarine. Among the prints are fashionable floral and Hawaiian ornaments, sea and beach themes. The undoubted leader is a large or small decor in the style of a wild animal. Swimsuits bandeau this season look like one of the best options for beach dresses, it has become one of the best models of designers of the world's leading brands. New versions of this luxurious style have become real hits of beach fashion. Bando is unique in its kind. It is great for owners of all types of figures, especially girls with lush forms. To look as attractive and attractive as possible in each case, it is necessary to provide style, cut and color features.
The style of "bando" caused a real sensation in the resorts of America – it was there that he first appeared. Against the background of classic and too strict bathing suits, the sexy bodice looked too bold. Both closed and open models of swimsuits, the name "bando" defined a special style of the bodice in the form of a ribbon. Despite the time, his style has not changed. Like most provocative ideas of fashion, which at one time blew up the fashion world, the "bando" itself became a modern classic. It fits perfectly into today's silhouettes and elegantly supports retro style, very fashionable this season. A wide strip of fabric, beautifully laid out in draperies – is, by the way, the best solution that allows visually increase the size of the breast. Swimsuits bandeau look great on the owners of a small chest and at the same time perfectly balance the proportions of the figure. Look at the presented photos of large women in the swimsuit "bando" of the latest collections – one of the best beach offers of the season.
Perfection, as you know, there is no limit. In this season, the leading beach brands presented a bathing suit Bandeau with a push bra
Woven, gel or silicone cups allow you to fine-tune the shape of a large breast. This is an excellent solution for owners of large forms – this allows you to demonstrate the dignity of the figure in perfection and, at the same time, take advantage of the style. The absence of small bags not only makes it possible to get beautiful even tan, open shoulders and perfectly emphasized décolletage zone – these are the advantages of fashion, for which not the first generation of fashionable women appreciate. Push Up "bando" looks very delicate, but at the same time, it allows you to balance the proportions of the figure and visually slender visually. This is especially important if the thigh size exceeds the breast capacity – to choose a beautiful open swimsuit model for owners of such figures is difficult. But this season it has ceased to be a problem – the fashionable style has become more convenient.
The novelty of this season was Bandeau swimsuit with frills
Delicate ruins and flounces adorn both the bodice and the panties of open models. A very flirty and girlish, gently – looking design-reception effectively emphasizes the silhouette and allows you to hide the flaws of the figure. The choice of a model depends only on how open you are to the figure. The draped bodice, opening the décolletage and shoulders, looks great both open and closed. Adjusting cups allow you to reliably wear a model without belts or choose a version with a beautiful decorative strap, put on the neck. Note how designers use their favorite combination. A beautifully draped bodice looks even more impressive if it is stitched from a contrasting color or decorated with fabric patterns. In combination with saturated monochrome colors, the elegant reception looks especially impressive. Excellent in such models seem ornaments in the form of brooches or decorative belts from beads. The cut and bust become, thanks to them, the center of the image and the point of attraction. Closed models of the classic silhouette with high cuts on the hips and the bodice are the real standard of high fashion on the beach. This season, designers used all the possibilities of color and texture. Style most effectively reveals all its advantages in bright monochrome shades of a fashionable scale. Cherry, turquoise, orange, red, blue. But even if there is a desire to look slimmer, do not get carried away by dark shades. The possibility of cutting such models, even in combination with light tones, allows you to visually create a very thin and feminine silhouette. Having chosen the model, do not forget to take the pareo one-color or with a pattern, supported in the same tones.
The bottom in a separate swimsuit can be as with a high waist and a low waist. There may be laces on the sides that open the hips making them softer. Sexuality or modesty of a swimsuit bandage depends on the interlacing of ribbons, where it is, how it interlaces, what place of your body opens or hides. If you are a brave girl of the size plus and do not hesitate to show your beauty, choose swimsuits with straps on your chest, laces on the thighs. If you are a modest and shy woman, for you we offer swimwear bandages of a closed swimsuit or with a high waist, and also with a full top. On our site, you can also find a variety of models of a swimsuit bandage that perfectly hold the chest, but at the same time look fashionable and modern. This is very important for women with large breasts. When choosing a model, first of all, pay attention to the material from which it is made: fabric, straps, and ribbons, as well as the degree of strength and stretching. Despite the fact that in this swimsuit tan is very strange, it has become very popular on the beach, at a party, and at beach bars.
Designer houses like Dippin Daisys, Maxine Of Hollywood, Profile By Gottex, Qzunique created not only a practical and comfortable swimsuit but also added elegance, beauty, and tenderness. As a result, they created a swimsuit, which ideally sits on a female shape. The one-piece bandage is a swimsuit with various weaves. Tapes can be intertwined on the belly, on the chest, on the hips, on the back. Such swimwear disguises a big belly very well, and if that's exactly what you're trying to hide this kind of swimsuit is your best helper. A separate bandage consists of a top and swimming trunks, and naturally ribbons that are intertwined in different places. This swimsuit with ribbons look very sexy and if you are not afraid of the enormous attention of men, choose it.

Cook the sweet potatoes, whole and unpeeled, in very little water for 30 minutes to steam. Once cooked, peel and mash them well or put through a potato ricer.
Mix the flour into the sweet potato mash, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until combined. Shape the dough into three or four balls.
Dust the surface with more flour if necessary. Using your fingertips, roll the dough into a sausage about 2cm in diameter. Cut the dough into 2.5 cm pieces, then roll the dumplings against the front of a fork to create ridges (this will help hold the sauce once cooked.)
For the sage butter, place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted add the sage and cook until it is slightly crispy
Tip the potato dumplings into a frying pan and mix them gently in sage butter sauce and cook for 5 minutes, turning to brown each side.

Energy savings-The energy audit process
ABB offers a wide range of technologies that help reduce energy consumption and improve productivity. According to ABB, the best way to startis with an effective energy audit: it will have several characteristics, but generally include for following proven characteristics:
The ABB energy audit process
Outlining the scope of supply
To start, the audit engineer looks at the inventory of motors contained within a plant. Most of all, energy surveys suited to fan and pump motors of 11kW or higher. This is where the savings from a VSD start to offer an acceptable return on investment. The larger the motor, the greater the savings. Consequently, the shortest payback period, is for motors 22 and 90 kW. As a result, payback times of below two years, and sometimes under one year, are normal.
ABB meets the end-user and outlines the benefits of the audit in detail, together with any help needed. At this audit meeting. ABB also provides Information on Government financial incentives.
Collecting the data
The data collection phase is an active phase. It involves auditing selected fans and pumps, to determine operating parameters. This stage is usually performed over seven days or normal operation. It provides a complete picture of the plant's typical energy use. The energy auditor will look, not only at the fixed speed drives, but also any VSDs. This ensures application is running at full efficiency. Training of local staff ensures they perform further energy audits with minimal support.
Analysing the data
Software analysis of the data identifies potential savings. In addition, presenting the data as tables or graphs helps users prioritise savings for the site.
An action plan follows. This identifies monthly savings and includes recommendations for fitting VSDs or motors. Often the recommendations will show that VSDs can provide excellent savings applications. The report should also show the expected payback time on fitting new equipment.
Separate from the audit, site monitoring continues after the equipment installation. This tracks the actual savings against the predictions shown in the report. This will also help justify the investment in VSDs.
An energy audit is carried out by ABB or one of its channel partners brings. As a result, it:
- Clearly identified energy savings and payback times
- Complete audit results and energy saving calculations
- History of other audits and associated energy savings·
- Degree of customer training given as part of the process
Carbon emissions calculator
Carbon emissions take a higher priority on the boardroom agenda for some companies. Thus, ABB has developed a simple to use and understand carbon footprint calculator.
An on-line calculator shows how VSD controlled motors reduce an organisation's carbon footprint. Furthermore, this helps organisations to manage their footprint and reduce emissions over time.
Finally, for more information, go to the carbon calculator: www.abb.co.uk/energy

Let us initially learn a bit about custom lanyards. They are usually worn around your neck and allow you to secure or display an object without having to carry it around in your hands or pocket. These could be items such as:
• Your mobile telephone
• Pen Drive
• Key
• Work Badge
• Identification card
• MP3 Players
• Cameras
You could attach any such item to the lanyard and wear it around your neck, securing the item through a clip that is attached on to the end of the lanyard. This way you have more security, with the possibility of losing your valuable items is at a minimum with a lanyard.
Advertising agents who are now on the look out for promotional products decided to produce Custom Lanyards, since they are always displayed and offer a good mode for advertising. These lanyards are available with custom messages, phrases, slogans and even different types of symbols.
The printed lanyards often have a logo of a particular company, or the name, a symbol and sometimes even a quote. Most often they carry identification cards and are very commonly worn by:
• Employees of major Companies
• Students – mainly in private institutions
• Hospital Staff
• Seminar Attendees
• Government workers
• Military members
• Security personnel
When used by personnel of one particular company or institution, the lanyards are imprinted with the name or logo of that company. This serves as a marketing tool as well as a mode of identification.
Custom Lanyards are advantageous for specific purposes such as:
• A convenient way of displaying identification
• It is far better than a badge or a clip-on, offers comfort around the neck and the chances of misplacing are very much less
• They are mainly used by business organizations to promote their company's logo and name
• They are ideal as a small token of appreciation to customers
• If they look attractive customers too would use them, thus continuing to promote your company to an extended target group
• These lanyards could be used in fund raisers, with an imprinted slogan or logo for a charitable purpose
Custom Lanyards are made from cotton, nylon or polyester. It is about 3/8″ to 1″ in width, and the standard ones are solid in colour. But most of them will be printed with a company's name or logo on the material part of the lanyard. The choice of print options is large and this can depend on your budget. The choice of colours too is wide, and it would be to good idea to have it similar to the organization's colour codes.
At the end of the lanyard is a device that will hold the item you need to carry around. Some of these devices are in the form of swivel hooks, key rings, bull dog clips, reels and so on. Many other options are available as well, and the choice is yours.
Custom Lanyards are now popular in the corporate world, and is a good form of identification for those who work in your office space.

Ymke – UK
I went water tubing twice on two separate occassions to 2 different locations with Travellover. The first was with a group of friends and the second was with my father. Both occassions were a great experience. Anita, who runs the company, was really lovely and really listened to what we wanted so she could personalise the trips for us. To save on costs she even arranged that we follow our guide on motorbikes instead of hiring a car and driver, so we were very pleased with that. The prices were great and well worth it as both trips were very well organised and a fabulous experience that everyone enjoyed. Especially when compared to other companies in the area, this was really good value and yet trustworthy at the same time. I'd certainly have no fears in trusting Anita with other trips in the future.

I am so grateful for all of you
This holiday season I just want to say, "Thank you" to each and every one of you. To my loved ones, thank you for supporting me and giving me the confidence to do what I love. To my fellow helpers and artists, thank you for inspiring me to think big and different. To my clients, thank you for sharing your lives with me - for trusting me with your most intimate emotions, thoughts, and desires. You allow me to do what I dream. Your willingness to work on your lives shows great courage. It may feel like it is only about you, but your work really does make the world a better place. You generate hope and eventually, you'll hand that hope on to someone else.
Happy Holidays!

Power and Wonder - Skogafoss, Iceland/
Did you ever have a friend who saw a movie and hyped it up so much that upon seeing said movie you were a little letdown because your expectations weren't fully met? That was my experience with Skogafoss.
The Build Up
Thanks to the modern marvel that is social media and photo sharing websites, I've seen numerous photos of Skogafoss, a waterfall in the Golden Circle in southern Iceland. I think the first time I saw this waterfall was on Flickr back in 2006, in fact I left a comment on it that day.
Over the years I have added numerous photos of Skogafoss to my favorites, on Flickr alone there are at least four and there are probably lots more on 500px. So yes, it's fair to say that I had my hopes up while we were driving to Skogafoss. Thankfully, we didn't go straight there and we stopped at Seljalandsfoss which was unexpected and really, quite a bit better than Skogafoss in retrospect. I had heard very little of Seljalandsfoss before the trip, other than viewing Colby Brown's photos of the waterfall so my expectations weren't nearly as high for that waterfall. Still, while we were at Seljalandsfoss I was thinking to myself that Skogafoss was just around the around and that would be the prime waterfall.
We make the short drive from Seljalandsfoss to Skogafoss and let me tell you, it's a gorgeous waterfall that you see from miles away. You've looked at the thing for a good five minutes before you actually turn off the Ring Road. I remember thinking to myself, "this is it! We're at Skogafoss!" while walking up to the waterfall with tripod and camera in tow. I think somewhere in the back of my mind I thought that getting shots of that waterfall would legitimatize the trip that I was on, that somehow THEN I had gone to Iceland.
Here's the problem with Skogafoss though;
- The weather probably sucks. Iceland is a tiny island in the middle of the north Atlantic, odds are the weather is going to be terrible or at the very least, cloudy.
- It's extremely popular. Skogafoss is world famous for a reason and the adoring world wants to see Skogafoss in person. Every tour bus stops at Skogafoss. Every person walks near the base of the falls. Everyone is taking selfies in your shot.
- It's actually harder than it looks to get a good shot. While not difficult, it's harder than it looks and good luck not getting people in your photo.
The Letdown
I tried to take good photos of the waterfall, I really did. Vertical, horizontal, panorama, HDR, getting closer, drawing back, including people, taking long exposures to blur said people, etc. I tried everything and I didn't walk away with an amazing photo like the ones I thought I would get there. In fact, I would say that I didn't get more than one good shot there. Don't get me wrong, I loved the experience but it wasn't because I knew I was going to sell tons of prints. I had a great time there because the people I was there with were fun, they were having a good time, and honestly, who cares if you get a great photo of an iconic location?
The bottom line is that I thought it was going to be this wonderful moment and it was, it just didn't look like I thought it was going to look like. That's not a bad thing.

DUBAI– The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) on Thursday announced a ban on the import of live fowls and non-heat-treated bird products from East Malaysia.
The ban was imposed following a notification from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) on 06 August of the outbreak of the highly contagious H5N1 bird flu strain.
According to the ministry it has imposed a temporary ban on the "import of all species of domestic and wild live birds, ornamental birds, chicks, hatching eggs and their non-heat-treated waste" from East Malaysia, particularly the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
Likewise, the ministry said included in the ban is the import of poultry meat and non-heat-treated by-products and table eggs from Sabah".
However, the ministry clarified that importation of heat-treated poultry products, such as meat and eggs, from other parts of Malaysia is allowed.
Dr Shaikh Majid Sultan Al Qasimi, assistant undersecretary for the Food Diversity Sector at MOCCAE, said they are taking necessary precautionary measures to prevent any strains of the bird flu virus that spread in East Malaysia from reaching the UAE.
"We are confident such efforts will mitigate the impact of the bird flu on the UAE's poultry health and safety, in addition to protecting public health and well-being," he added.
As part of the precautionary measures, MOCCAE is carefully examining documents accompanying consignments (certificate of origin, health certificate and halal certifications, among others) of food products being shipped to UAE.
The ministry is also employing sensory detection equipment to ensure the quality of the products complies with the country's stringent standards.
Samples of food products from shipments are transferred to laboratories for the necessary tests to ensure they are safe and fit to enter the country. WAM

I love to travel so much and there is definitely a cost in taking trips even though heavily discounted by my travel club. But today's post isn't about that.
It's about a place I discovered you can travel to FREE OF CHARGE! I've taken so many trips to this place and it is simply magical.
It's a trip many normal people take and come back with enough motivation and drive to pursue and achieve their goals.
You can literally make the decision right now and go as far as you want into your mind for as long as you want.
Your paradise is within. Your divine purpose lies deep inside you. And life's challenges and society's programming have succeeded in concealing most peoples' passion. But until, you look inwards and start to see yourself for who you really are and consider the greatness that God designed for your life, you will continue to live life under-utilizing your potential and never experiencing lasting fulfillment.
So take a journey into your mind, through your thoughts, and travel into your future.
See your self where you want to be, This place already exists in your heart and you just have to look inward to find it.
Experience your success, Taste your victory and Feel What it is to be at the end of the journey that you are on right now. . .FREE OF CHARGE!
To Your Future!

ALC is a one woman show. Founded in 2014.
Hey! I'm Ashley.
Talking about myself feels so foreign! But the fact of the matter is that when you contact ALC Marketing and Design Co, you will be talking to directly to me. I wear many hats. I am the bookkeeper, the marketing manager (which is so far out of my comfort zone), and the designer and developer.
I keep trudging on through the fun stuff and the not so fun stuff because I love this! I truly love turning a blank art board into a brand. Nothing feels better. It is truly my passion. It pulls me out of my fluffy comforter in the wee hours of the morning and keeps my brain turning when I should be falling asleep. I can not stay away!
I am a nerd for clean modern layouts and brand suites make me do the happy dance.
I am adamant about learning and I am always researching new trends in design, marketing, and website interactivity. It is ALWAYS changing and I find it fascinating. In addition to designing brand pieces and user friendly websites, I want to share what I have learned with you. I will be adding articles with helpful resources that you can use in your own small business.

For the first time this holiday season, online shopping is expected to exceed $100 billion, and more of it is moving to smartphones. Retailers from Neiman Marcus to J.C. Penney have spent time and money making their stores accessible from their customers' smartphones.
Dallas-based RewardStyle's new shopping app that launched in March already can claim 1 million downloads, and its business illustrates the shift that shoppers are making to mobile.
"We're squarely focused on mobile," said Amber Venz Box, co-founder of RewardStyle, which provides a platform for influencers and bloggers to get paid for the sale of merchandise that they inspire consumers to purchase. Its network of 20,000 influencers is fast moving from blogs to mobile, she said.
About 60 percent are now mobile only, a reflection of consumers spending five hours a day on a mobile device, most of it on social media, she said.
RewardStyle's LikeToKnowIt app, which launched for Apple devices, is also available for Android devices starting Tuesday, she said. Instagram and Pinterest are social platforms where influencers and bloggers have gained huge audiences by sharing their preferences for fashion apparel and home.
"We're transforming socially inspired shoppers into mobile buyers," she said. While shoppers can go to Google or Amazon for product searches, she said, the LikeToKnowIt app is becoming a destination for people looking for inspiration.
"We're plugging a hole in the boat," said Box. "I know I'm socially inspired."
Venz Box who has two children with husband and RewardStyle co-founder Baxter Box, says she's influenced by a mother of two with a beautiful home that she follows from Canada. RewardStyle's influencers include several celebrities, from actress Molly Sims to Bachelorette realty TV star Ali Fedotowsky. This year, 83 percent more of its influencers will be making more than $100,000 a year from retail commissions.
Initially, the LikeToKnowIt app was launched as a service built for Instagram. More than 3 million shoppers have liked an item using LikeToKnowIt on Instagram, on bloggers' sites, and more recently through the app. That action generates an email to them with links to retailers where they can buy the item. Sales of $10 million in 2014, the first year, grew to $160 million last year and are on track with the mobile app to reach $300 million this year, Box said. RewardStyle has agreements with 4,000 retailers in 87 countries to pay their influencers for sending shoppers their way.
Major retailers including Amazon and Wal-Mart have partnered with the Dallas startup, and Box said its 10 million screenshots of content are about to grow exponentially with the addition of eBay, which recently signed on. It was was one of the few major retailers that hadn't yet joined RewardStyle.
When LikeToKnowIt started, mobile represented 24.3 percent of clicks, and it's now 67.4 percent, she said.
This holiday season, online sales are expected to rise 13.8 percent to $107.4 billion, according to Adobe Digital Insights. Overall, holiday sales are expected to increase in the range of 3.5 percent to 4 percent.
About one-third of online holiday purchases this year will be made from smartphones and tablets, according to Adobe. And for the first time, holiday season web traffic on smartphones and tablets will be higher than for desktops, 54 percent and 46 percent, respectively, Adobe said. But purchases from mobile are still dwarfed by desktop. The U.S. is behind many parts of the world on the mobile shopping trend.
Alibaba Singles Day
Mobile's penetration on Alibaba's Singles Day, which was Saturday, reached an all-time high of 90 percent, up from 82 percent in 2016 and 68.7 percent in 2015, according to a report by Fung Global Retail & Tech. Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce business, partnered with 1,000 brands this year to set up 100,000 stores in 31 cities in China and posted a record $23.5 billion in sales on Saturday, the Fung Global report said. Shoppers at these stores could browse merchandise and purchase an item by scanning a QR code.
U.S. retailers have spent time and money building better mobile apps.
"More and more shopping journeys begin on a mobile device, meaning a phone or a tablet has become a virtual door into any one of our 42 full-line Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores," said Neiman Marcus CEO Karen Katz said on a conference call with analysts in September.
In the last six months, the number of customers who have downloaded J.C. Penney's newly launched app is up 70 percent and online orders from the app have doubled year over year, said J.C. Penney spokeswoman Kate Coultas.
More than 50 percent of Penney's online traffic comes from a mobile device, and Penney has converted 20 percent more browsers into buyers since the redesign of its app earlier this year. People also use the price check feature in stores, to display coupons and to book appointments at its salon and Sephora shops in its stores, Coultas said.
This story has been updated to correct an error. About 83 percent more of RewardStyle's influencers this year will earn $100,000 in commissions than in previous years.

Ethical considerations should be of prime importance when attempting any form of research, evaluation or consultation and it is important to be aware of and sensitive to potential issues of ethical concern.
Many organisations have developed clear and thorough ethical principles to guide evaluation activities. These principles should act as a guide throughout the process to protect your organisations as well as participants.
The trust follows the Ethical Guidelines of the Social Research Association. However, other organisations will have their own ethical guidelines and may have committees who must approve any research on ethical grounds before it begins.
Never bypass ethical protocols that are designed to protect participants: the well-being of participants must be your overriding concern. Neglect of ethical considerations will not only put your participants and yourself at risk, it will fundamentally undermine the credibility of your evaluation process and findings.
If your evaluation includes children or young people, or anyone with impaired learning or cognitive ability, it is important that you consider if you need to get consent from a parent, carer, guardian or othergatekeeper. It might be necessary for those working in this field to undergo checks prior to conducting research. In 2011 the Scottish Government introduced a new scheme – the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG Scheme) – for people who work with vulnerable groups and can provide guidance on this.
Informed Consent
Consent is a central element of all evaluation activity and refers to the process of participants receiving as much information about the research as possible and then making an informed choice to participate. In most cases you should provide information sheets (King's College London provide some useful tips) and consent forms (the Health Research Authority give some useful examples and templates) to participants in accessible formats. These should explain the purpose of the research in clear, non-technical language and answer any obvious questions they may have.
Once the participant has read and understood the implications of taking part, if willing, they can complete the consent form. If an individual is unable to consent directly a representative may be able to do this on their behalf. It is important that potential participants are made aware that they are under no obligation to participate and can withdraw from the process at any time. This includes withdrawing any information that they may have provided previously.
The consent process should also make clear that participation will be confidential and anonymous. Additionally, if information gathering continues for an extended period or changes significantly, it may be appropriate to revisit consent (known as staged or negotiated consent). Essentially this process ensures that participants are still willing to be involved after a prolonged period or if there are changes in the research.
Additional consent will need to be obtained if you are using audio or visual (including video) recordings. If you are going to be photographing or doing an audio or visual recording, your participants must be aware of this and consent to be recorded in this way. You will also need to think about what ways these recordings, videos, or pictures may be used in the future. If you will want to use them in a promotional video, on the website, or on social media, you will need to obtain explicit consent for that as well. Your participants may have previously consented to have their photographs used for promotional purposes. However, for any new research or any new activity being done, you should always obtain consent for that particular use, since the context will be different than what your participants may have previously agreed to.
Harm and risk
It is important to think as carefully as possible about the potential risk to your participants when gathering information. It is not possible to fully anticipate the chance of harm in all situations, but you must do your best to take reasonable steps to ensure that the risk to participants is minimised as much as possible. Possible risks may include a range of mental and/or physical harm (e.g. anxiety and stress, general distress, loss of self-esteem). You must also think about the harm that might be caused if participants are identifiable. If your study involves questioning participants about sensitive topics, you should always arrange some information or access to sources of further counselling or advisory support.
Confidentiality and anonymity
Researchers need to ensure that information and records about individual participants are kept confidential and the identity of individuals remains anonymous. It is particularly important that in published materials individuals are not identified nor can they be identified by references to, for example, a town or an event, unless they give their consent to this. It is quite acceptable to change the names of people and places to maintain anonymity.
Protecting personal information
It is important that personal information relating to participants is stored safely. Traditional forms of data may include completed questionnaires and notes made by the information collector that include participant identifiers; these should be stored safely in locked drawers or cabinets. Other forms of data may be electronic files, such as word documents, photographs, videos, or digital recordings of interviews or focus groups. The safe storage of electronic files usually involves encryption and password protection. For highly sensitive information regarding vulnerable groups, you may want to keep your electronic files on an external hard drive that remains in a locked drawer or cabinet. Further considerations about Storing Information are provided in helpful guidance produced by Evaluation Support Scotland.

- United Kingdom Evaluation Society (UKES), Guidelines for Good Practice in Evaluation

In the first half of a roller derby scrimmage on Saturday, I was in the middle of a pile-up on the track. In the tussle, I messed up my MCL, or the ligament on the inside of my knee. If it's torn, it's only slightly. It's Wednesday now, and it already feels 10,000 times better than it did on Saturday.
Of course, it probably wouldn't have hurt that bad on Saturday if that pesky adrenaline hadn't encouraged me to ignore it and play the second half at full-throttle. But I digress.
As much as I missed squatting yesterday, I knew skipping out on leg day was the only non-stupid thing to do. I want to give myself the opportunity to recover, and fast.
Still, two of my five gym days involve my fair use of my gams. With them out of commission, what was I supposed to do?
