Here's your big chance to have some more fun!
It's true! By Monday (that's 3 days from now), my upcoming novel, Project Liberatio, will be ready for beta readers. And for the first time, I'm expanding the pool of betas to include blog readers (that's you!).
But what does a beta reader do?
Rather than explain it in my own words, I hopped over to Dan's blog and stole his explanation, because he did a pretty darned good job.
What's a beta reader?
Well, it's kind of a big deal. You get to read the whole book before everybody else and then tell me what you think. Also, you get to be one of the first people to post an honest review on Amazon.
I did a few posts on being a beta, so you can read more if you click HERE to learn more, but basically you'll…

Watson, Henry M., Buffalo, president of the Buffalo Railway Company, has been prominently identified with the
extension and improvement of the Buffalo railway system since 1869. His father was a distinguished educator in
the eastern part of this State and afterward served in the Legislature in 1839. Mr. Watson was born in Otsego county,
N. Y., and in 1857 went to Albany, where he was engaged in the banking business until 1867. During the last two
years of his residence in that city he was general passenger agent of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, now
a part of the Delaware and Hudson system. In 1868 he removed to Buffalo and was elected secretary and treasurer
of the Buffalo Street Railroad Company. In 1871 he was elected secretary and treasurer of the Buffalo East Side
Railway Company, and upon the death of Stephen Van Rensselaer Watson, in 1881, he was elected president of the
Buffalo Street Railroad Company; both of these roads are now consolidated with the Buffalo Railway Company. In
November, 1890, the Buffalo Street Railroad, the Buffalo East Side Railway and the Buffalo West Side Street Railroad
were consolidated into the present Buffalo Railway Company and Mr. Watson was elected president, a position of
high trust in its management. To his rare executive ability and wisdom in the choice of his subordinates is due
the thanks of the community for the excellent service it now enjoys. He spared no expense in securing capable assistants
who could be depended upon to carry out his ideas, and the results of his superior management are abundantly manifest.
It is universally conceded that no city in the Union has a better street railway system than Buffalo. Mr. Watson
is a trustee of the Erie County Savings Bank and of the Union Fire Insurance Company, and vice-president of the
Fidelity Loan and Trust Company, and has been president of the Bell Telephone Company in Buffalo since its organization.
He is also vice-dean of the Saturn Club of Buffalo, a life member of the Buffalo Library. a member of the Buffalo
Historical Society, and a vestryman of Trinity church. He was one of the founders, in 1882, of the American Street
Railway Association, which covers the United States and Canada. and was elected president at the convention held
in Buffalo in October, 1890. At Saratoga, in the spring of 1885, he was elected president of the Street Railway
Association of the State of New York. While a resident of Albany Mr. Watson was one of the founders, in 1861, of
Co. A. 10th Regt., N. G. N. Y., and was promoted to the office of second lieutenant in 1868; he is still an honorary
member of the company, On January 1, 1880, he received the appointment of aide-de-camp, with rank of colonel, on
the staff of Gov. Alonzo B. Cornell.

Vehicle Financing
Leasing of vans has enabled individuals to drive new cars without having to worry about spending a lot of money on them and the depreciation costs. Despite that being a good deal, there are some that should be considered, and individuals should pay more attention to them as they go through the small prints before agreeing to sign the contract. Below are some of them;
It is imperative to ensure that you have the proper GAP insurance. This is because anything might happen to the vehicle and it might be damaged. If that happens, you will run out of money trying to pay for it. Having the right insurance will reimburse the present value of the vehicle, and that will spare you the trouble of having to pay it back using your money.
Mileage Limits
Paying low monthly payments could show low mileage limits. Therefore, you should check that before leasing the van. Be honest with yourself and check your average driving habits. That will help you to determine the mileage allowance that you require. Although this may increase your monthly premium, it is cost effective in the long run.
A lot is bound to happen when one is driving, and a little wear and tear is allowed. However, some companies have strict rules, and even the smallest damage may bring about serious problems with them. Before leasing a car, ensure that you have gone through their condition guidelines and that you are comfortable with them. It is not safe to assume them.
Monthly Payments
Leasing deals that come with low monthly payments may sound like an incredible offer until you sum everything up and realize that you are paying a lot of money. However, if you would prefer to pay a huge initial amount, consider what will happen if anything happens to the car. If the car was stolen, would the insurance company pay the company the value of the car? Such questions will help you to make a smart decision when it comes to making payments, and that will save you from losses.
Avoid Leasing For Too Long
Van warranties last for three years for many companies. That is why leasing them for longer than that can add some unwanted costs to your initial payments. Furthermore, the commercial ones are often updated therefore if you lease one for a shorter time, you will always get the updated models. That will enable you to drive good cars without paying for much.

Farm to Ballet comes to Philo Ridge Farm, a benefit for the Vermont Land Trust
The Farm to Ballet Project is a dance endeavor intended to celebrate Vermont's farming culture while expanding classical ballet's audience. Philo Ridge Farm, a diversified farm in Charlotte, is excited to host the Farm to Ballet production on August 15, in a celebration of food, farms and the arts. Ticket proceeds will benefit the Vermont Land Trust's Farmland Access Program, which provides farmers with opportunities to purchase or lease affordable farmland, helping to generate or expand agricultural businesses.
Philo Ridge Farm is located on the property of the old Foote Farm in Charlotte. Farm tours will be offered between 4 and 6 p.m. Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a farm-raised pork dinner prepared by the Hindquarter Food Truck or wood-fired flatbread. Please bring cash—dinner is not included in your ticket reservation. The performance will begin at 6:15 p.m.
The project, directed by Chatch Pregger, is a full-length production that reinterprets classical ballet choreography to tell the story of a Vermont farm from spring to fall. The production starts with the geese returning for the spring, followed by the stages of planting, irrigating, tending and then harvesting the farm's produce. The farmer takes a detour from the crops to work with the animals and celebrate their contributions to local foods. The production wraps up with a celebratory farm-share pickup scene before the geese fly back south for the winter.
Charlotte Hardie, of Charlotte, is one of the dancers involved in the program. She began dancing at Colorado College and fell in love with the form.
Farm to Ballet will be performed throughout Vermont during the summer of 2015. The production is intended to be performed outside against the beauty of Vermont farms and their surrounding landscape.
More information is available at farmtoballet.org.

The Best Anecdotes Featuring Oscar Wilde
It's Oscar Wilde's birthday today – he was born on 16 October 1854 – so in honour of this, we've compiled some of our favourite anecdotes featuring the great author and wit. Wilde is probably known for his conversation as much as for his literary works. Here are some of the funniest and most thought-provoking stories featuring the man who, as well as being a great wit, was also often rather wise, too (and as the etymologies of the words suggest, the two are not unrelated).
The most famous anecdote involving Wilde concerns his arrival in the United States in the 1880s, when he was already a known figure in England – part of the reason for his trip to America was to promote the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Patience, which mocked the kind of dandy aesthete embodied by Wilde – but he was known for his flamboyant behaviour and his wit, rather than his writing (at this stage he had published just one volume of poetry). Asked by customs if he had anything to declare, Wilde memorably replied, 'Only my genius.' Or did he? There is some doubt over whether this famous Oscar Wilde one-liner was ever uttered.
Another anecdote concerns Wilde's time as an undergraduate at Oxford. When Wilde was studying Classics, he had to undertake a viva voce or oral examination, for which he had to translate from the Greek version of the New Testament. The chosen passage for translation was from the story of the Passion of Christ. Wilde began to translate, and the examiners were satisfied, and told him that he had done enough. Most students would have gladly stopped there, but Wilde ignored them and continued to translate. Again the examiners attempted to stop him, and this time succeeded, telling him that they were satisfied with his translation. `Oh, do let me go on,' said Wilde, 'I want to see how it ends.'
On another occasion, Wilde mentioned that he had been hard at work redrafting his poetry. 'I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning and took out a comma,' he said. 'And in the afternoon?' his friend asked. 'In the afternoon,' responded Wilde, '– well, I put it back again.'
Wilde was at breakfast with guests one day, and, despite his own line that 'only dull people are brilliant at breakfast', on this occasion Wilde proceeded to display his sparkling wit. The host of the breakfast was talking to an attractive blonde woman, and Wilde asked the host's wife if she was jealous. She assured Wilde that her husband didn't know a pretty woman when he saw one. Another guest gallantly interjected, 'I beg to differ – what about yourself?' The wife answered, 'Oh, I was an accident.' 'Rather,' Wilde responded, 'a catastrophe!'
Another anecdote concerns the theme of jealousy. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who shared a historic dinner party with Wilde, recounted how Wilde told the following story, after talk had turned to the way in which the fortune of our friends makes us discontented. 'The devil,' said Wilde, 'was once crossing the Libyan Desert, and he came upon a spot where a number of small fiends were tormenting a holy hermit. The sainted man easily shook off their evil suggestions. The devil watched their failure and then he stepped forward to give them a lesson. "What you do is too crude," said he. "Permit me for one moment." With that he whispered to the holy man, "Your brother has just been made Bishop of Alexandria." A scowl of malignant jealousy at once clouded the serene face of the hermit. "That," said the devil to his imps, "is the sort of thing which I should recommend."' This same dinner party was also the occasion on which both Doyle and Wilde agreed to write, respectively, the second Sherlock Holmes novel and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Our final favourite anecdote concerns a joke at Wilde's expense. The renowned actress Sarah Bernhardt – who, as we've revealed previously, was the first person to play Hamlet on film – was once talking to Wilde when he went to light up a cigarette. He inquired, 'Do you mind if I smoke?' Bernhardt shot back, 'Oscar, I don't mind if you burn.' In Bernhardt, one wonders, had the witty Wilde met his match?

I love a bit of Wilde, thank you for the anecdotes, wonderful stuff.
I am back here again exploring the page once more and came upon my Oscar. Thank You. I am currently writing about surprising Wilde facts, such as Florence Balcombe's rejection of his marriage proposal to favor Bram Stoker. I am sure that many fellow Wildeans would agree that, like Oscar himself said, he put his talent into his works, but his genius went straight into how he chose to live his life. I am aware of the fact that I need a life, but let me add an even sadder fact: I still feel the pain of his verdict in 1895. No matter how many times I read about it, the thought of a man going from the zenith of success all the way doing to eating dirt in the very same year just keeps touching my heart. To read the vicissitudes that he endured in Holloway prison and how his intellect continued to decay…it is murders. The Victorian middle classes killed him….and that jackbutt Charles Brookfield may he be burning as we speak. (Vented). lol

This piece is a gorgeous and unique engagement ring. The design of the ring is timeless, classic with a very nice princess cut diamond on top of it. The diamonds are top Wesselton worth 0,28 carats, enough to put a smile on any girl's face! The simplicity of the engagement ring is guaranteed to inspire the appropriate emotions expected for a proposal. The engagement ring itself has is very small inclusion (vs), yet it's still one of a kind.
Share on:
Mail to friend
The carat of a diamond equals the weight it. 1 carat is equal to 200 milligrams. The image of the ring on a hand is only an educated guess.
0,28 carat
The diamond shape or cut is the only aspect not determined by nature. The better the polisher, the better the cut. Our craftsmen are renowed for their passion and skill when it comes to turning rough stones into beauties for centuries.
The clarity of a diamond is the amount of internal damage it has. Some visible with the naked eye, some only with a loupe. A flawless diamond, also known as river pure, is very seldom.
The more transparent or whiter a diamond is, the more it reflects light and thus the more it sparkles.There is one exception which is for brightly colored diamond, ike a pink, blue or bright yellow diamond. These are more seldom and worth even more than regular transparent diamonds.
Make a difference between colored diamonds and the regular scale
At Coster Diamonds we sell the highest quality gold settings, in different types of gold, platinum and titanium, mostly forged by our own skilled goldsmiths.
Besides diamonds, we also offer many different types of gemstones. Each with its own unique characteristics which – when used properly- can really bring a piece of jewelry to the next level.
Images look great.

Panama's Foreign Minister Isabel de Saint Malo and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi drink a toast.
Taiwan's influence around the globe has been dealt yet another substantial blow with Panama severing ties with Taipei, and establishing them with Beijing.
PANAMANIAN President Juan Carlos Varela announced on Monday in a televised speech that the Republic of Panama and the People's Republic of China have established diplomatic relations.
China has become a major power in its own right and the U.S.' increased global isolationism under the Trump administration makes Taiwan much more vulnerable than before.
After decades of siding with Taiwan in the disagreement over its status, Panama now "recognises that there is only one China in the world" and that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory.
North Korea missiles a 'direct threat' to Russia
The pair of Japanese Naval Vessels and US Aircraft carriers have introduced a joint drill in the Sea of North Korea on Thursday. Mattis added that the USA is "working with China on North Korea because that is also a problem for China".
The self-ruled island had diplomatic relations with as many as 30 countries in the mid-1990s.
Panama is the latest country to cut ties with Taiwan and it is unlikely to be the last, said Carl Thayer, an emeritus professor of politics at the UNSW Canberra college in Australia. The island is also excluded from the United Nations and many other multinational bodies at China's insistence.
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Panama's Vice-President and Foreign Minister Isabel de Saint Malo signed a joint communiqué establishing diplomatic ties in Beijing on Tuesday.
Wang said he was sure relations between the two countries would have a "bright future".
After Chinese Nationalist forces were defeated by Mao Zedong's Communists, the Nationalist government moved to Taiwan in 1949.
'Dead Woman Walking': Amid Election Fallout, Theresa May Stands On Shaky Ground
The party came together around a brilliant manifesto and came together for a result that you and many others never expected. If a coalition of minority parties led by Labor effectively opposes May's government, a new election could be triggered.
Taiwan was not invited to the annual assembly of the World Health Organization last month for the first time in eight years, and was also excluded a global forum of the International Civil Aviation Organization last year.
China set up an office of commercial development in Panama in 1996. But in the last one year itself, as many as three countries have severed diplomatic ties with the country, which is claimed by China as its own - a part of the mainland.
Although China refused to form such ties during the previous administration of China-friendly president Ma Ying-jeou, it no longer has any such qualms, Tang said.
Diplomacy is closely related to trade, and, in continuing to invest in Panama, China had gained the upper hand on Taiwan, said Chen Chih-chieh (陳至潔), an associate professor of National Sun Yat-sen University.
Scholars voiced concern Tuesday that Panama's switch of diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing may not be an isolated case.
Policewoman among those injured in shooting at Munich underground station
Trains around the station have reportedly been stopped and the entire area has been cordoned off. Another police spokesman added: "The sole male perpetrator was motivated by personal reasons".
In the past China and Taiwan had competed with each other to win diplomatic allies, wooing poorer countries with promises of aid and investment.

A lot of great things happen in the month of February, even though it is the shortest month of the year. Although this is not a Leap Year, when we think of February that thought often does come to mind. A few other notable events that occur this month are Black History Month, Valentines Day, the beginning of Lent, Presidents Day, and American Heart Month. Although not always in February, this is the Year of the Tiger, and the Chinese New Year Day is on February 14th.
While some were hoping for an early spring this year, it appeared that February 1st was not a good start for many because weather prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and therefore a prediction of six more weeks of winter was made. Were you aware however that there are more (prognosticator) ground hogs out there? Did they too predict six more weeks of winter? General Beauregard Lee, who resides at the Yellow River Game Ranch located near Atlanta, Georgia, did not see his shadow. We presume this means the Daffodils will be blooming a little earlier this year. So who are those other groundhogs, and how did this all start? The tradition began in Germany where it was said if a hibernating animal (such as a groundhog) saw its shadow, the Christian holiday of Candlemas, winter would last for another six weeks. By the way, Buckeye Chuck and Staten Island Chuck (Buckeye is a cousin of Punxsutawney Phil), did not see their shadows, so the folks in Ohio and New York (respectively) are jumping for joy. Folks in Wisconsin say that Jimmy the Ground hog is usually 80% right, so his predication of an early spring in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin is good news!

What starts as a vibrant affair between a legendary femme fatale and her young lover quickly grows into a deeper relationship, with Turner being the person Gloria turns to for comfort. Their passion and lust for life is tested to the limits by events beyond their control.

"It's a classy weepy with some killer dialogue, but Bening is the big sell here. Given one of the juiciest roles of her career, she makes every moment count."
Olly Richards - EMPIRE
"Bening has done a remarkable job of capturing Grahame's look and her breathy way of talking, insuring that her performance is real and using it to explore still-relevant issues of aging, glamour and relationships."
Kenneth Turan - LOS ANGELES TIMES
"These are full-bodied performances, with Peter's ardency and Gloria's kittenishness signaled in a hungry look, a wag of the eyebrows. Fittingly, the film's best scene needs no words"

A man found unresponsive in his cell at Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside died at a hospital, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.
The man was found in his cell about 8:45 p.m. on Monday, July 16. Deputies attempted to save his life before he was hospitalized. He later died, a news release said. The Sheriff's Department did not answer when asked when he died. His death was announced Thursday evening.
"There are no signs of foul play and due to the ongoing investigation, no further information will be released at this time," the release said.
The Sheriff's Department was identifying him only as a Hispanic man until his relatives could be notified.

Why Ethanol Won't Work
It's as simple as this (emphasis added):
To turn wood chips into ethanol fuel, George W. Bush's Department of Energy in February 2007 announced a $76 million grant to Range Fuels for a cutting-edge refinery. A few months later, the refinery opened in the piney woods of Treutlen County, Ga., as the taxpayers of Georgia piled on another $6 million. In 2008, the ethanol plant was the first beneficiary of the Biorefinery Assistance Program, pocketing a loan for $80 million guaranteed by the U.S. taxpayers.
Last month, the refinery closed down, having failed to squeeze even a drop of ethanol out of its pine chips.
Ethanol is basically one huge boondoggle. Not only does it have less energy for the same quantity as gasoline, but it also uses food crops, thereby driving up the cost of food, as reported by sources as diverse as the Washington Times and NPR.
But the Obama Administration seems bound and determined to follow this bad Bush policy. I don't mind it when Obama follows good Bush policies, but he's got enough bad policies of his own without borrowing Dubya's (and, yes, Dubya did have some really boneheaded policies… like subsidizing ethanol).

Did I really expect to find a quote from Tom Sawyer? Maybe I did. And I had another one underlined, but this one struck me more than the other. Maybe I'll post the second quote later this week, but I want you to take a look at this for a quick second.
"…whether he was good, bad, or indifferent, he was the Lord's, and nothing of the Lord's was a thing to be neglected." – Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
This can be found nearing the very end of the story. The adventures are mostly done, but one little boy named Huck Finn is left to go on his lonesome way. A lady of the town takes pity on this outcast and sets it in her heart to raise him as her own. Grant it, he didn't find that too pleasurable!
But, looking at this in a different light than Huck's, isn't it true? It doesn't matter if it's a person, animal, or even a blade of grass. God loves what He has made. Have you ever heard of an artist who painstakingly created a masterpiece solely for the purpose of wanting it to go to waste? I am not thinking so! When we see a person on the street or some sort of outcast, shouldn't we see them through God's eyes of love? And act accordingly. I mean, what dumb type of love and compassion doesn't act!? That poor puppy you saw on the street, whatcha gonna do about it? The homeless man who sits underneath a shaded patch of public lawn, who else on this earth could be his friend?
As my eyes glanced over this quote, these were just some things I thought of. God made it. He loves it. He cares for it. No matter the situation, shouldn't we love and care for it too?

AUSTIN, Texas (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Cirrus Logic jumped 22 percent Thursday morning after the maker of chips for DVD players and other multimedia devices matched Wall Street's revised profit estimates even as revenue and earnings both declined.
Cirrus CRUS, +2.12% which also said it plans to focus on its higher-margin analog and Internet businesses, earned $4.6 million, or 6 cents a share, in its fourth quarter, including a $17.4 million inventory charge. Analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial expected Cirrus to earn 6 cents a share in the fourth quarter, recently lowering their estimate from 25 cents a share.
In the same period a year ago, Cirrus earned $3.7 million, or 5 cents a share.
Revenue jumped 25 percent to $199.7 million, in line with its March 30 forecast, from $160.2 million in last year's fourth quarter. However, revenue declined from the $208 million generated in the third quarter.
Looking forward, Cirrus estimated that its first-quarter revenue would drop 10 to 15 percent from fourth quarter levels, citing its declining magnetic-storage technology business. Revenue from the analog and Internet businesses is expected to grow modestly in the first quarter. Cirrus said it expects to post a profit of 10 cents to 15 cents a share in the first quarter, the same forecast the company made in March.
For the year, Cirrus expects revenue from analog and Internet to resume 40 percent growth per year in the September quarter, while revenue from magnetic storage would continue to decline.
Cirrus said the company eventually will phase out its magnetic storage business, which has average gross margins of 35 percent, in favor of analog and Internet, which boast margins in excess of 50 percent.
"By refining our focus, Cirrus will be the semiconductor industry's largest pure play in consumer entertainment electronics, with exceptional strength in analog and DSP technologies," said CEO David French.
On Wall Street, Cirrus' stock climbed $3.62 to close at $20.32 after close to 9 million shares changed hands.
Salomon Smith Barney upgraded the stock to "buy" from "outperform," citing the company's restructuring and a rebound in customer orders, which were sharply lower in the fourth quarter.
Cirrus warned on March 30 that it wouldn't meet analysts' profit estimates because some of its audio customers were having inventory issues and because its lower-margin magnetic storage business was generating more of the company's total revenue.
"Given the rebound in orders and the likelihood that restructuring will further improve earnings predictability, we are raising our rating," Salomon analyst Jonathan Joseph wrote in a research report. He upped the price target on the stock to $28 from $25.
Joseph trimmed his fiscal 2002 estimate to 65 cents a share from 70 cents and his 2003 estimate to $1.25 a share from $1.35 to account for the downsizing of the magnetic storage business.

Did You Know a Smile is More Attractive Than Makeup?
More than 70% of men find a woman more attractive if she smiles instead of wearing makeup, according to a research by Orbit Complete.
Even if ignoring those results, it is common sense to consider smiling appealing. It is a universal sign of health and happiness – after all, who doesn't want to be around happy people?
Out of the belief that everybody should smile as often as possible, we will review a couple of solutions for a better or a so-called perfect smile. If we manage to make a single person smile just a bit more, we will consider ourselves successful.
DIY Happy Reviews Perfect Smile Veneers – How to Get a Million Dollar Smile
Embarrassed of crooked, stained, missing, or broken teeth, but cannot afford the cost of having dental work done? No need to worry. Perfect Smile Veneers offers easy solutions that can improve your appearance through an instantly customized fit.
Perfect Smile Veneers is not a dental or denture device, but a product, a removable veneer which fits perfectly over existing teeth. The veneer is made of a plastic polymer known as micro-thin polypropylene that is used in everything from carpets and packaging materials to long underwear.
How Does Smile Veners Work?
Customized veneers are quite expensive while cheaper ones are often uncomfortable. Considering this, it is worth noting that Perfect Smile Veneers offers the best from both worlds through their customized fit that is easy to achieve.
According to their infomercial, all a customer needs to do is soak the veneer in hot water before pressing it on to existing teeth. The expected result should be an instantaneously, perfect fit.
How Much Does Smile Veneers Cost?
- Buy one "Perfect Smile Veneer for just $14.99, plus an extra $6.99 for handling and postage, which totals to about $21.98.
- Buy two veneers for the price of just one. However, you will be required to pay double handling and postage costs, which total to $28.97.
Our Perfect Smile Veneers Review – How to Get a Million Dollar Smile
The Perfect Smile teeth are definitely low-cost options compared to standard veneers which could cost anywhere between $900 and $2,500 per tooth.
It is worth noting that they also lack the type of endurance dental work and custom-fitted veneers have to offer. Daily Mail took the time to test a slightly similar dental product, the Snap-On Smiles, to find out how well they work.
Now, Snap-On Smiles are a completely different brand made by a different manufacturer. Matter of fact, the product evaluated by The Daily Mail was a customized veneer which costs about 900 pounds which is a considerably more expensive option.
Nevertheless, the Snap-On Smiles veneer functions and is placed pretty much the same as PS. Because of this, we felt that The Daily Mail's findings could be handy in helping potential buyers decide if this product would suit them.
At the end of their evaluation, The Daily Mail arrived to the conclusion that Snap-On Smiles Veneers did exactly what they claimed they could do %u2013 deliver pearly, perfect whites with ease.
Described as press-on nails, and a bit negatively as the fake teeth you find at joke shops, the test subject concluded that though her smile was flawless, the veneer protruded a bit.
Snap-On Smiles Veneers are custom-made by dentists who takes your teeth mold. As such, the positive remarks on fit are, somewhat irrelevant. However, the test subject did agree that she could see how useful they could be when used on special occasions like weddings and dates.
Watch our video review as well to get a slight insight about what the product brings to you:
What Do You Need To Know About This Product – Read our Perfect Smile Veneers Review Before Investing?
Perfect Smile Veneers review are As-Seen-On-Tv products that do not necessarily mean anything at first.
It is worth noting that the experience most As-Seen-On-Tv product manufacturers tend to oversell themselves in infomercials. As a result, most customers end up being unsatisfied with the purchase. This is not to say that they are not good products. Nonetheless, it is just how it is with infomercial advertising; the companies promise consumers bigger and better, often to catch their attention with the hope of inspiring them to order.
From our experience, consider slightly grounding your expectations when thinking of purchasing this product. That does not mean that these veneers don't work. Chances are, just like what The Daily Mail found out about Snap-On Smile Veneers, something will be slightly off when it comes to appearance and fit in despite what infomercials promise.
The other thing to consider is the material. As mentioned earlier, Perfect Smile Veneers are made of polypropylene – a material that's known to degrade when exposed to Ultra Violet radiation.
It is worth noting that the free radicals formed when the material degrades react with oxygen. According to information from Wikipedia, the material is known to degrade when being used as implantable mesh devices in the body. When the material degrades, it creates a tree bark-like layer that covers the surface of the mesh fibers.
What are the implications of this? While we do not exactly understand how long it will take for the material used to make Perfect Smile will degrade, it is probably not advisable to wear the veneer every day for extended periods of time.
Perfect Smile Teeth: The Bottom Line
We were not able to come across any reviews of the product by the time we were writing this. Well, this could be because it still relatively new, or simply because there aren't many dental practices using the product's name as such, it is likely that any experiences are buried deep within business listings.
While we are not able to report back on any Perfect Smile's reviews, there is some evidence, though little, that led us to consider the product a scam. Nevertheless, there are a couple of things that you need to remember before making any purchase:
- They are not available in different shades
- The product is not available in various sizes
- There's no way to change the size of the product (as such, should your veneer be too big for you, there's nothing you can do about it)
Since consumers are not given the chance to customize their perfect smile, we feel that it is important to state that the product will likely not natural and could be quite uncomfortable.
At the same time, the manufacturer does not share any info about the product's grip when speaking or chewing, or the number of users you could get from it adhesive-like action.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a quick way to fix your dental emergency, then this product is an appealing alternative. Just make sure that you test drive it before you wear it to an important date or interview.

Genes play out for junior golfer
On the morning of Dec. 21, 2016, 13-year-old Carter Cummings said he woke up thinking, "Maybe I'll hit a hole in one today!"
It turns out that his waking thought wasn't just a pipe dream. Later that day, Cummings and Bolles' School seventh grade classmates Miller Lockwood and Will Moore were playing a round at the Timuquana Golf and Country Club when he found his sweet spot with a 7 iron on Hole 8.
Like his father, Spencer, Cummings grew up playing golf at the club, and plays on the Bolles golf team, just like dad did. Unlike his father, who made his only hole-in-one at age 32, young Cummings realized his goal much sooner.
"It feels good," said Cummings, when asked how it felt to make his first hole-in-one at an early age. "Hopefully many more to come!"
Cummings began taking lessons at the golf club in Venetia at age six and the apple hasn't fallen far at all from the family tree. Carter's great-uncle, Ed Sabo, is a professional golfer and was on the Senior PGA tour, said his mother, CeCe. Sabo made his first hole-in-one when he was 13, too. The pro claims 10 in his lifetime, with three in one month in 2016.
"Carter plays a lot of golf after school and every weekend with friends or with his dad," said CeCe. "My husband plays a lot of golf, as do my in-laws, all at Timuquana Country Club and in North Carolina. Carter spends most summers playing in North Carolina and has attended golf camps in Pinehurst."

Local business McKeever Hotels Ltd this week launched a partnership with the NI Hospice in support of the charity's Capital Appeal.
The money raised by staff and customers at Corr's Corner Hotel, Dunsilly Hotel and the Adair Arms Hotel will go towards finishing the rebuild of the Northern Ireland Hospice facility on the Somerton Road, north Belfast.
Bridgene McKeever, Director of Sales & Marketing at McKeever Hotels Ltd said: "We are proud to be supporting such a worthy cause. This year, we are delighted to support the Northern Ireland Hospice and in particular their Capital Appeal. As a result of the collaborative efforts between ourselves and the Northern Ireland Hospice we plan to generate funds through making a donation from each cup of coffee sold from our new McKeever Coffee range sold through our hotels. We also plan to hold a number of fundraising challenges between the staff in each hotel."
John Phillips, NI Hospice Community Fundraiser commented: "We are delighted that McKeever Hotels Ltd has chosen to support our charity through their fundraising events. Northern Ireland Hospice is currently in temporary accommodation at Whiteabbey Hospital while work continues to rebuild Somerton House, which was no longer fit for purpose. We still need to raise £1.4 million to build the new hospice, and this would not be possible without the support of the local community and businesses like McKeever Hotels who have supported us so generously."
For more information about the work of the Northern Ireland Hospice, the Somerton House rebuild project, or getting involved in fundraising, call John Phillips on 07773 367287 or email email@example.com

What is a blog?
The term "Blog" comes from "web log" - a space online which can be used like a journal. An example is our Pixel Zoo blog which we use to post useful information and resources (pixelzoo.blogspot.com) - you can read up on our guide to blogging (Blogging 101) here. You can browse through some of the other blogs on blogspot to get an idea of what people do with their blogs.So what is special about a blog?
- They are completely free
- Anyone can create and maintain one without necessarily needing HTML skills. Posting text and images is a very simple process. You can even include video using Google Video.
- Other people can respond to your posts by leaving comments - so it's a nice way to try and build a community and encourage participation.
- It is often useful to have a blog along with your website as links between these can help improve your website's search engine rankings
So why pay for a website when you can have a blog for free?
Although blogs are great and have really contributed to democratising the web as a medium, there are some restrictions and disadvantages:
- The designs are template based and there is a limited amount of templates to choose from. However, if you have HTML skills you can modify the templates as needed, but need to adhere to certain restrictions. The Pixel Zoo can help you create a custom template
- You can only post images & text. More advanced content and functionality is limited
- Your website address will have to be xyz.blogspot.com instead of xyz.co.za. This is not as easy to remember and influences your search engine ranking so your blog might not be found as easily as your website. For example, if you search for "pixelzoo" on Google our homepage (www.pixelzoo.co.za) appears as the first result on the first page, but www.pixelzoo.blogspot.com only appears on the third page. You also need to find an address for your blog that has not been taken. Common words such as marketing.blogspot.com will probably already be taken. The best way to test is to come up with a list of possible names and start setting up your own blog.
- Although it is easy to update, someone actually has to take the time and make the effort to do so. This may involve writing copy, finding images etc
- Blogs follow a very linear structure (like a diary), so you do not really have a very dynamic navigation system. Posts are categorised by date
With a small website:
- You are not limited in terms of the design at all
- You may include any content or functionality you like - obviously additional content and functionality, especially if it is complex will increase the cost
- The code can be better optimised for search engines and you will have your own domain which you can use for email eg. email@example.com which gives a more professional impression
- It can really be engineered to make a tangible contribution to your business and can become part of the business strategy because it is flexible and can grow as your business grows
- If you have a maintenance contract with The Pixel Zoo you always have a technical team on hand to help you with any updates, changes or questions you might have
- You cannot update it yourself unless you know HTML
- It will cost money for design, monthly hosting and updates.
What should be considered when deciding between a small website or a blog?
- Money: If you are a business you need to consider the value that can be generated. We believe that a company's online marketing & communication efforts should not be a drain on resources, but should be an investment that generates value and shows tangible returns. You need to look at where your online presence can really help your business and decide how much it is worth.
It is pointless spending R1000 per month on a website that only contributes (directly or indirectly) to R100 worth of sales. It would be better to spend R 50 on internet access to update a blog. For small startup companies it makes more sense to start off with a blog and once you know it's worth it, to invest in a website
On the other hand, if you sell products and you know that having an online product catalogue would boost sales, the money you save by having a blog instead of a website is actually lost due to missed sales & customer contact opportunities.
- Time: If you do not have time on your hands to update a blog it becomes useless, as no content = no interest. If your time is very valuable remember that updating your blog is using hours that might be spent earning income, so ensure that this balances out. If you have a maintenance contract with The Pixel Zoo most of the 'donkey work' is eliminated as you can just send us content in a basic format, although some input from our clients is required as they are the experts on their own businesses.
If you are a small start-up company and you have time on your hands a blog can be very valuable
- Role of online media in your strategy
If you plan to use your website as the hub of your marketing strategy, the limitations of blogs can be a disadvantage, although they are a useful way to "test the waters" without risking too much, but you will not get as much exposure as with a website
If you simply want to have information accessible online such as your contact details and basic information a blog might be useful. But remember that you need to keep adding content to your blog in order to maintain interest and improve the search engine rankings so people can find it.
Blogs really shine when documenting a process or project or any other linear information - for example, if you were a community development NGO you could post daily/weekly/monthly updates on projects with images etc
The best way to understand blogging is to try it. We recommend that you set up a blog by visiting www.blogger.com (it's free anyway) and see how you find using it.
We hope that this document has provided you with some useful information and insight. Please feel free to contact us should you have any further or queries.

How We Do It
Using the latest products, techniques and knowledge available today we are able to undertake and variety of services as listed and because we are not tied into any one supplier we have access to a vast range of products and are continually looking for new developments and updates.
Mini Valet
Our most basic package primarily aimed at companies requiring a regular service from weekly to monthly *
- * Minimum 2 vehicles
- Citrus degreaser applied to lower vehicle to break down traffic film and general grime
- Wheel acid treatment applied to break down brake dust and general grime
- Jet washed to remove all traffic film and general grime
- Conditioning shampoo applied with soft sponge then rinsed and leather dried
- Tyres dressed with rubber dressing
- Polish windows interior / exterior
- Vacuum interior mats and seats also boot if accessible
- Dust dashboard / centre console
- Deodorising spray applied to interior
Full Valet as above plus
- Exterior hand polished with a premium wax

- Tar spots removed from exterior panels
- Ashtrays emptied and rubbish removed
- Interior headlining cleaned with foam cleaner
- Interior plastics and trim dressed with appropriate dressing
- Interior carpets and seats shampooed (fabric) or leather cleaner (leather)
Paint Sealants
The sole purpose of a paint sealant is to protect your vehicles paintwork from the extreme environment in which it is exposed to daily; namely the suns UV rays, fallout from trees, tree sap, road salt and grime. These are all contributing factors to corrosion and paint fading.
Paint sealants are made from polymers (synthetics) similar to a Teflon coating, when the sealant bonds to your vehicles paint it forms a rigid shell with a slick glossy finish and despite some manufacturers claims, through experience these will last up to six months and considerably longer if maintained regularly.
Please note: prior to a sealant application it may be necessary to treat the paintwork with other processes, particularly on older vehicles, please call us for advice.
Carnauba Waxes
Carnauba waxes are often seen as the ultimate in paint work finishing because of the rich warm glow it creates and the transformation it can produce which no picture can capture. Carnauba is a natural wax as opposed to the polymer paint sealant and goes through many processes to create that stunning wet look finish. All applications are by hand and will also protect against UV, fallout, acid rain etc. In a nutshell carnauba wax is second to none for a stunning finish.
The above two services come under our "Detailing" services and should not be confused with a full valet or any other service in the sense that valeting is about a general enhancement and "freshen up" of the vehicles appearance, detailing is more in depth and is about reconditioning all aspects of the appearance and the whole process can normally take up to two days to complete. In many instances the results can be more impressive (and cheaper) than a re-spray. Please note; prices are an estimate only, for an accurate price please call us for a free consultationFrom £150.00 - £350.00
Paint Correction
Paint correction is a process which removes swirl marks, scratches, hologram's and faded paint work often caused by incorrect washing techniques and constant exposure to the elements but to name a few. This is achieved by using the latest products and techniques not to mention patience and time. We will in many cases effectively restore the paintwork to its original colour and condition where possible, this process is a much more cost effective way than visiting a body shop for a re-spray etc. prior to any treatment we would highly recommend a consultation to give an accurate assessment and price.From £100.00 - £300.00
Odour Elimination
AROMATEK is a permanent solution to in-vehicle odours. The system uses dry vapour produced from natural essential oils to:
- Neutralise and permanently remove malodours such as those produced by tobacco smoke, animals and food.
- Re-odourise and refresh "stale" interiors. Unlike conventional air-fresheners the dry vapour produced by the Aromatek system penetrates deep into the porous surfaces inside the vehicle.
Valet Training
Spend the day at our workshop and learn all the aspects of preparing a car to a stunning finish, having access to all our products and techniques not to mention invaluable knowledge. The course is on a 1-1 basis and your own vehicle will be the subject, so not only will you have a stunning vehicle and invaluable product knowledge and techniques, you also have the potential to start your own business or earn a little extra cash. Please call us for more detailsFrom £200.00
Refurbishment/Cosmetic Repairs
We are now proud to offer a fully mobile service for the restoration and repair of alloy wheels and minor bodywork damage often referred to as SMART repairs.
Alloy wheels are often prone to damage caused by kerbing, scuffing and corrosion, once repaired they will enhance your vehicles appearance and value.
All vehicles during their lifetime are prone to minor damage whether it be a cracked wing mirror casing, car park bump or scratch or even vandal damage, we are able to repair the damaged area using the latest products and techniques available today.
Please call us for a free estimate.
Vehicle Management
At Bespoke Valeting Solutions we have learned to recognise that not every body has the time to look after their vehicles as they should, whether it be the vehicle requiring a service through to tyre replacement or even simply driving the vehicle if it gets minimum use or has been in storage, all of which can be frustrating and time consuming. We are now able to offer a truly bespoke service on all of the above by simply calling us and leaving us to do the rest, be assured that throughout the process we will liaise with the relevant dealership / garage and give you constant progress updates. All these services are from as little as £30.00 ph which is considerably less than any dealership / labour rate. Please call us for free advice.

Five games into the 2016 season there are still plenty of questions that come up when people mention the Oakland Raiders. I've heard plenty of inaccurate statements and questionable questions from plenty of people & the one thing I ask myself after listening to critics is; "Are we watching the same games or are you living in the past when referring to the Raiders?" There has been a buzz around the Oakland Raiders organization since the arrival of Head Coach Jack Del Rio & his staff. The look of the team, the demeanor & attitude is something that has spread from the top to the bottom. Us as fans can be bias but now the league is starting to take notice & with our first home win this past Sunday against the San Diego Chargers; we have every intention to keep our winning ways going + silencing the doubters with solid play.
The Coliseum was definitely filled with people biting their nails this past Sunday due to yet another down to the wire game. The Raiders are learning how to win close games and that's huge because we have yet to put all the pieces together. You can never rule out a rivalry game as an easy game but our young leader/captain Derek Carr guided us to a come from behind victory yet again. After his initial interception on the first drive of the game, he settled in and delivered a solid performance as he usually does. Completing 25/40 passes for 317 yards and two TD's +plenty of clutch throws. He showed passion and grit by consistently yelling on the sidelines in attempt to gather the troops and fire them up to win this game & I couldn't ask for a better person to run this team going forward. Collectively on the ground we gained 89 yards on 25 carries which if this was all by one individual it wouldn't be considered a bad game by any means but the ball was spread around amongst multiple players. Rookie RB's Deandre Washington & Jalen Richard carried the bulk of the task with Fullback Jamize Olawale getting a few carries & Carr having a couple of carries as well. With starter Latavius Murray out with turf toe, who knows when he will comeback but with this level of production; the Raiders aren't pressing to rush him back. WR Amari Cooper finally reached the end zone this weekend which was a site to see. If you Let him tell it; he will tell you that he isn't worried about the end zone because that time will come. Although being true; Raider Nation loves seeing #89 get in there. He torched single coverage all game long boasting a 6 catches for 138 yards + 1 TD.
On the defensive side of the ball we still have things to work out. It's clear that the defense is still getting used to playing with each other & trying to gel as a unit but; in this game we played a tale of two halves. We were able to create four turnovers which is a great thing but we also let Philip Rivers sling the ball all over the field. Bend but don't break is a coined term that comes to mind but we can't surrender only 10 points by halftime just to come out and give up enough to have the game end 34-31. A few bright spots to mention are Rookie Karl Joseph having another great game. 1 pass defended, multiple solo tackles plus his 1st career interception. Rookie LB Cory James doesn't look like he will give up the position at all following another solid performance. Newly signed free agent LB Perry Riley Jr. who was only with the team for a few days before Sunday started and forced a fumble + leading the team in tackles. He played lights out all game and didn't look like he was just out of football.
All in all, were 4-1 and with another divisional opponent against the KANSAS City Chiefs looming; I can't wait until Sunday. LET'S GO RAIDERS

Before you begin
While reading this tutorial some of the things might be unclear or seem to be complex. That's normal for beginners. Don't feel bad about that just follow the tutorial - most probably once you execute steps yourselves everything will become clear. If you will still have some questions - do not hesitate to ask using comments.
What Angular (actually) is?
Angular is a framework for building client applications in HTML,CSS and JavaScript/TypeScript.
In fact, TypeScript is definitely more common within the Angular environment. Why? I will explain that in further lessons. If you have never work or even heard of TypeScript before? Don't worry! That's tutorial is for you. I will explain to you what is it about using numerous examples and sample codes.
Why do we need Angular?
Many people ask me - why do we need all those frameworks like Angular, Vue or React (which btw is not a "framework" but that will be subject of another tutorial). Is old plain JS or jQuery not sufficient?
I always answer Yes it is. Technically you can build almost any application using plain JS or libraries like jQuery, however, if you ever attempted to build a more complex application consisting of multiple modules and thousands line of code you probably already know that maintaining code is a nightmare. Very often our code is not reusable therefore we have to copy and paste very similar pieces of code multiple times.
As our application gets more complex, javascirpt code is getting harder to maintain. We need a way to structure our code. Another important part which we cannot forget is tests of our application. As project get bigger testing it becomes crucial for stability. That's why within recent years we frameworks like Vue or Angular has been created - to make developers life easier.
Benefits of using Angular:
Although summarizing all benefits of using Angular would probably take a few A4 pages, let me provide you summary of the best features. For now, you have to trust me but along the tutorial you will quickly find yourself that I was right:
- Increases re usability of code
- Provides structure to JavaScript
- Makes application more testable
- Gives our application a clean structure
- Modular development
- Two-way data-binding
- Great for SPA (Single-Page Applications)

The audience of the 2014 BET Awards, both at home and at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, will have a brand new host this year. It has been recently announced that comedian Chris Rock has been tapped to hold center stage at the event.
Rock is no stranger to hosting award shows. The actor and stand-up comedian played host for the Academy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards on two occasions. Rock will take to the stage on June 29. The BET Awards caps off the BET Experience, a three-day music festival also happening in downtown L.A.
On picking up hosting duties at this year's BET Awards, Rock said he is very happy for the honor and mentioned that he watches the awards on television every year. Every year, The BET Awards combines a mixture of predominately hip-hop, rap and R&B artists that include Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake.
In addition to his work as a stand-up comedian, Rock has been working in a variety of capacities in the entertainment industry. From his beginnings with small roles in movies like Beverly Hills Cop II and New Jack City, Rock has built a resume that includes numerous HBO comedy specials, producing the television sitcom Everybody Hates Chris and the documentary feature film Good Hair, as well as a brief stint on Broadway. The versatile performer has earned four Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards and has a position on Comedy Centrals list of "100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time." Hosting the BET Awards will be another item to add to his long resume.
The BET Awards is cable television's most-watched award show, according to Nielsen ratings. As the most-watched cable awards program among the network's key African-American audience, the telecast is the highest-rated show on BET's programming slate. This year's award show will be executive-produced once again by President of Music Programming and Specials for BET, Stephen G. Hill, who says the company had been trying for years to get Rock to host the award show. Hill calls Rock a comedic genius whose keen sense of humor and knowledge of popular urban culture will be a breath of fresh air and will keep audiences in the theatre and at home engaged and entertained.
A subsidiary of Viacom, BET Network reaches a reported 90 million households in the U.S. and other parts of the world. BET also has a multi-platform extension of its television unit with brand impressions online and mobile as well as on-demand projects and DVD products.
Among those receiving the most nominations for BET Awards this year are Beyonce, Jay-Z and Drake, each getting five nominations. The second most-nominated artists include Pharrell Williams and August Alsina, each getting four nods respectively. To bring the funny, comedian Rock says a good host pays attention to the audience and takes cues from the show. Being aware of what is going on all around, be it backstage, in the audience or behind the scenes is critical to tying every aspect of the show together and finding the spontaneous jokes as they occur.

Now, there are options to utilize this fantastic GPS tracker feature without killing their cell phone's battery!
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (PRWEB) January 20, 2016
Smartphones are amazing in many ways, but one thing they are infamous for are their inability to hold a battery charge for long. The battery drains more quickly the longer the screen is on, the more applications (apps) the phone has open and if even more so if working with an app that is intensely in-depth. Since fleets are on the go, smartphones are becoming one of the best ways to get data quickly. The bummer is that the battery life hasn't caught up to the power of all the apps fleet teams want to use. There are, however; a few quick and simple options within the mobile GPS tracker app that allows users to preserve their battery life for just a little longer.
1.) Alerts: While alerts are a fabulous way to keep track of multiple things happening with fleets in the field, having them constantly running and checking for updates can be a battery power guzzler. If managers just need a quick glance at the map for a visual on their fleet drivers, they can simply swipe the alerts function button to "off" to save battery power until the alerts are really needed. Of course, alerts can also be viewed later, at the computer station in the office.
2.) Maps: When using the satellite style of map, users will be able to see a more in-depth image of the area they are viewing. This view is detailed with streets and buildings, but the downside is that it can drain the phone's battery due to the amount of work that goes into displaying these details. Consider switching the map to "Road" view. It's more basic, still shows the location of all vehicles and saves battery power.
Many business owners have started joining the digital world this year. Many fleet business owners already know that they can benefit by using the GPS tracker app. It really is one of the best features about having a GPS tracker system. Furthermore, using GPS tracker devices with mobile options makes it easy for fleet managers to know what they need to know and see what they need to see regarding the location of their drivers out there on the road. Now, there are options to utilize this fantastic GPS tracker feature without killing their cell phone's battery!

HR EXPERT: Mental Health First Aiders
Q- My client has asked me about the need for a mental health first aider at work, is this a legal requirement?
A- Whilst the need for a mental health first aider is not currently a legal requirement, it is a practice my client should consider implementing given the rise in reported instances of work-related mental ill health and the detrimental impact this can have for employers.
It is likely my client's questions have derived from recent calls for the government to amend the law, making it a requirement for all employers to have a qualified mental health first aider in place. The recently formed "Where's Your Head At?" campaign has received the backing of a number of politicians, celebrities and health experts asking individuals to sign up to an online petition which will, providing it reaches over 100,000 signatures, be debated in parliament.
The 2017 "Thriving at work" report, which was commissioned by Prime Minister Theresa May, calculated that poor mental health costs employers between £33 billion and £42 billion per year.
This figure largely represents the calculation of lost productivity and absenteeism as well as the substantial cost of recruiting new staff, as it is estimated that 100,000 individuals leave their job each year because of poor mental health.Therefore, my client may benefit greatly from the introduction of a mental health first aider to help provide initial support to staff experiencing mental health issues, in the same way a physical health first aider would in the aftermath of a workplace incident.
Training individuals to identify signs of mental distress, listen without judgement and guide employees to further support could save UK employers millions in lost productivity and foster an open and considerate workplace culture.Clients who wish to encourage staff to become mental health first aiders should consider footing the bill for the training programmes that are arranged by Mental Health First Aid England.
It would be particularly useful for line managers to become first aiders given that they are often tasked with overseeing a team of individuals and it may be wise to offer additional non-monetary perks as an incentive to the training.
Those wishing to use this week to reflect on how to further promote better mental health in their workplace may also wish to consider the following solutions:
Implementing a mental health workplace policy
Introducing Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP's)
Offering occupational sick pay to deal with mental health issues

Adam Milstein vs Anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitism is the discrimination against Jewish people and is a form of hate that has proven to be very difficult to eradicate. In the past, Anti-Semitism has led to very horrific events which is why it is important for all people to stand up against. Blogger Adam Milstein is currently taking a stand against Anti-Semitism. Adam Milstein is an Israeli-American who has learned to stand up against anything that he perceives as injustice. In his article, Adam Milstein states that Jewish people need to watch out for any Anti-Semitism acts or statements being generated by unlikely radical alliances. He also mentions the difference between tolerating people who have different beliefs and tolerating people who speak about other with malicious intent. Milstein believes that hate speech is not a proper way to express a thought or idea. Adam Milstein, like many Americans is dedicated to protecting the freedom of speech rights of all Americans but he the draws line at hate speech. He believes that hate speech is the polar opposite of everything good about living in a free country. Milstein has spearheaded the Jewish cause and is one of the leaders in trying to incite change for the better. He is still hard at work looking to accomplish two missions: to assure that Jewish people demand the respect they deserve and have non-Jewish people recognize the pitfalls of Anti-Semitism and take a stand against Anti-Semitism. Milstein himself has been very dedicated in his work to get rid of Anti-Semitism and rebuild the pride of American Jews everywhere. He has donated money to many different pro-Jewish causes as well as created new organizations of his own. Throughout all his efforts to put an end to Anti-Semitism, Adam Milstein has carried the Jewish spirit of making changing and creating a better world for all people.

commercial super automatic espresso machine
When it comes to super-automatic espresso machines, Jura's are some of the best that you can buy. Their top-end machines can set you back over $3,000, which should probably tell you that since people are willing to pay them that much that they know their stuff. The Impressa C5 is one of the 'entry-level' machines that they carry and does it's job incredibly well for a grind and brew machine, especially from a company that you may never have heard of.
The first thing that you'll notice is the taste of the espresso that comes out of the C5 is amazing. One of the worst things that you can do to yourself is get used to drinking espressos out of this machine on vacation or at a friend's house and then go back to making espresso in a sub $150 machine, it just won't compare. The amount of engineering and quality control on the Impressa C5 is incredibly high, which makes every espresso remarkably consistent and delicious. Yes, the quality of the beans still does matter, but the difference between good beans and bad becomes much less noticeable in this machine.
Unless you're an espresso geek and know everything there is to know about how to make the best espresso out there, you're going to want to find a machine that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. The Jura lets you change settings as you see fit, but most of what you need to know in order to make espresso is already programmed into the machine out of the box.
Where the Jura does fall a little short is in how intuitive a lot of their settings are. You will want to read the manual on this machine to get the best output out of it, but it definitely isn't necessary to read the entire thing if you just want to make espresso and aren't as concerned with altering individual settings. One of the hallmarks of this machine is that you can change a few settings around and make significantly better espresso, but leaving it set at default levels will still make espresso that is light years ahead of most cheaper machines.
This is one place where the Jura does not skimp. Since Jura generally makes higher end machines, the level of quality and engineering is exceptional across all of their machines. If something does end up happening to the machine while it's under warranty, you can get a new machine sent out to you for free, and the return policy is relatively hassle free.
The price of the machine is a little steep, and will set you back a little over $900, but it is worth it over the long run. Does it make coffee that is 8x better than a $100 machine? Most likely not, but when you love espresso and take the time to invest in a Jura and set it up correctly, you won't have any doubts as to whether spending that extra money was worth it.
The built in grinder and steamer are great and give you everything that you need to make espressos, cappuccinos, lattes or anything else that you might want. The addition of a tamper and water filter is just icing on the cake. While you can use the grinder that's included, Jura does recommend not using oily or flavored beans, so if you do want to use those you will have to invest in an extra grinder.
While the Jura Impressa C5 is on the low end of the Jura line, it is still light-years above most other automatic espresso makers on the market. Not only that, but buying a machine at this level which is on the low end of a company's line is much better than buying the top-of-the-line machine from another company at the same price. When you buy the most expensive espresso machine from another company, you are most likely getting the same engineering that went into their other products with some more features added on. When you buy the lowest end version of a high quality line of espresso machines, you get all of the quality and engineering of the highest end model but with fewer features, a much better trade-off.
The Jura Impressa C5 is available at an incredibly low price from Amazon click HERE.

Panopticon Unveils Visual-Analysis System
Story Utilities
Panopticon, a data visualization vendor, announced a real-time trading analysis system that provides the buyside and sellside the ability to chart trading profitability and trends.
The customizable data-visualization system lets traders monitor and analyze trading and risk data. Through interactive desktop dashboards, users can perform visual data analysis using heat maps, tree maps and graphs, rather than spreadsheets.
"The purpose of our tools is to reduce the amount of time required to find outliers and patterns in large amounts of fast-changing data," said Hugh Heinsohn, vice president of marketing at Panopticon. "With our tool, people can spot problems and opportunities in a few seconds, as opposed to hours."
The system is located right on traders' desktops as part of their order management system. It can also measure performance between traders or trading desks, venues or products.
Heinsohn said the data produced by the system is retained in a database, enabling traders and portfolio managers to compare the latest real-time performance information with daily, weekly and longer-term historic trends.
Users can also visualize the relative success of alternative trading strategies in their algorithmic trading systems by programming new algorithms into the system and analyzing the results.
