Medical credentialing and provider enrollment are critical components of the revenue cycle, yet these processes pose major challenges for small practices. Since healthcare technology lags considerably behind that of other industries, many tasks are still done manually or with spreadsheets, leading to fragmented processes and human error. By using the right credentialing and enrollment software, you can streamline workflows to maximize revenue and productivity.
[INFOGRAPHIC] — Upgrading your software just got a whole lot easier
Here are 10 credentialing pitfalls you can avoid by using the right software:
- Instead of keeping track of tasks manually, you can utilize technology that automates workflows. Check off items on your "virtual to-do list" with just a few clicks and use metrics to evaluate process performance.
- Electronic tools minimize credentialing "busy work" with the ability to auto-populate forms, reducing data entry requirements. Software systems save demographic information and other data and automatically enter it to complete required documents. This feature saves time and reduces errors, as employees no longer have to engage in time-consuming, repetitive data inputs. You can also run queries and renew forms without the tedium of reviewing paper documents. On the enrollment side, this is especially helpful as different providers have their own sets of forms and data requirements. Electronic signatures save time, as staff do not have to wait for forms to be signed manually.
- In-house server-based systems limit how many users can access them at one time, which can be problematic when allocating tasks among employees. The latest software expands data availability, reducing task-coordination hassles.
- With intuitive interfaces and easy-to-use features, the latest credentialing software eliminates the need to complete a long sequence of steps or navigate complicated menus to locate provider information.
- The right software solutions are low-maintenance. With cloud-based options, you do not have to manually install the software. You can access it via a browser, and updating can be done quickly and relatively easily. Additionally, since the software is so user-friendly and comes with responsive customer support, you don't need to set aside large chunks of time to learn how to operate it or train staff to use it. The software essentially walks you through various tasks.
- With the right technology, you no longer have to painstakingly search through stacks of paperwork and keep large volumes of forms in a filing system. Instead, digital document management stores important documents- correspondence, credential verification information, and other materials- and keeps them organized in a logical order.
- You no longer have to contact payers or consult spreadsheets to look for credentialing expiration dates. Superior software sends automated alerts and reminders when providers' certifications and licenses are up for renewal so staff can keep the credentialing process as smooth as possible. The same applies for provider enrollment. Up-to-date software allows you to maintain records of the health plans providers participate in and monitor their enrollment status.
- You won't have to send correspondence through the mail. With automated peer referencing, you can obtain required information much faster than traditional methods, as you can send and receive documents virtually. This also means your practice can avoid postage costs and mail-delivery delays.
- With current credentialing software, you're not required to play phone tag or spend hours tied to your desk as you attempt to follow up on providers' credentialing statuses. Web-based solutions allow you to track processes in real-time.
- Since the latest credentialing software significantly reduces errors, you will spend considerably less time appealing denials. Credentialing technology flags most mistakes before documents are submitted. When denials do occur, you can locate the source quickly to avoid disruptions in provider privileging and reimbursement.
The latest credentialing software minimizes paper trails, facilitates optimal process management, and drastically reduces credentialing time. Give your practice the tools they need to avoid these credentialing pitfalls by supplying the optimal software.

text: What do New Zealand, Iceland and the Baltic states have in common? I have learned a lot from an excellent two day conference on the foreign policy choices of New Zealand as it faces the changing global balance of power. I spoke about Iceland's foreign policy options in the new global order and Margarita Seselgyte talked about the Baltic states and their relations with NATO, the EU, the US, and Russia. This was the startup of a project on the defence and foreign policy choices and challenges of NATO small states and NATO partner states in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and Oceania in the new security environment. The aim is to examine how NATO might better partner with these states. The next conference will be held at the Centre for Small States at the University of Iceland in June 2018.

Super Smash Bros. Melee/Samus
- 1 Introduction
- 2 "A" Moves Analysis
- 3 "B" Moves List
- 4 Combos
- 5 Frame Data
- 6 Strategies
- 7 Match-ups
Samus is currently ranked 11th in the tier list. Namely, her powerful and effective projectiles can aid her KOing power and her approach on the ground, and she also has a good air game, with a powerful sex kick. Samus' recovery is among the best in the game, due to her bomb jumps, ability to wall jump, and her grappling beam, all of which make her among the toughest characters to KO horizontally. Additionally, techniques exclusive to her, such as the Super Wavedash and Extended Grapple aid her approach, resulting in favorable matchups. However, she is floaty, allowing her to be KO'd vertically easily, and she has a below average combo ability, due to a relatively low air speed. Her primary combo starter, her grab, is also very laggy if it misses, though it can be extended.
"A" Moves Analysis
Ground attacks
- Neutral attack- A jab followed by her bringing her cannon-arm down in an axe-like way. Jab does 2-3% damage, next hit does 7% damage.
- Dash attack- Shoulder tackle. 13% damage.
- Up tilt- Raises her leg and brings it down. Very similar to Captain Falcon's up tilt. It is a meteor smash according to the game, but it only works on grounded opponents. The meteor can KO grounded opponents at high percentage. 13% damage.
- Down tilt- Brings her cannon arm down and fires an explosive weapon. Powerful, excellent option out of a crouch cancel. Can KO under 150%. 14% damage.
- Forward tilt- Extremely fast kick forward. Excellent in stopping close-up foes. 10% damage.
Smash attacks
- Up smash- Aims arm-cannon up and sets off many explosions. Below average knockback. 21% uncharged, 29% fully charged.
- Down smash- A spin kick around her. Fast, good knockback. 16% uncharged, 22% fully charged.
- Forward smash- Thrusts arm-cannon in front of herself. Somewhat fast, moderate knockback. 14% damage uncharged, 19% fully charged.
Other attacks
- Ledge attack- Gets up and kicks. 10% damage.
- 100% ledge attack- Gets up and punches with her arm-cannon. 10% damage.
- Floor attack- Gets up and kicks on both sides. 6% damage.
Aerial attacks
- Neutral aerial- A sex kick. 14% when first comes out, gets weaker afterwards. Good horizontal knockback, and good for edgeguarding.
- Back aerial- A very fast kick behind her. 14% damage if sweetspotted, 10% damage if not sweetspotted. The sweetspot is at her foot, notably her toe. A good edgeguard to use.
- Forward aerial- Fires several explosions in front of her with her arm-cannon. Up to 23%.
- Down aerial- Brings her arm-cannon into a downwards arch swipe, a good meteor smash. The meteor can KO grounded opponents at 115%. 16% damage.
- Up aerial- Brings her legs above her body and spins. Several hits, up to 10% damage.
Grabs & throws
- Pummel- Slaps her foe with her hand. Somewhat fast. 2-3% damage per pummel.
- Forward throw- Brings her foe up with her Grapple Beam and launches them forward. 9% damage.
- Up throw- Launches her foe upwards. 7% damage.
- Down throw- Violently picks foe up with her Grapple Beam and slams them to the ground. 6% damage. Almost 100% of the time can use Up tilt to punish nearly any opponent. This attack has a set knockback.
- Back throw- Launches foe behind. 8% damage.
"B" Moves List
Neutral B
Pressing the special move button will cause Samus to start charging energy in her arm cannon, which can be fired by pressing the button again. When the attack has reached maximum strength, Samus will stop charging and resume her neutral standing position, but her arm cannon will start to flash. Pressing the special move button in this state will let her fire the fully charged shot. Alternatively, the player can press the grab and shield buttons or the control stick left or right to cancel the charge and/or dodge, and pressing the special move button again will resume her charge. This is called charge-canceling. If Samus is hit while she's charging, she will not retain the stored charge.
When used in the air, Samus will instantly fire, whether the beam was previously charged or not. A fully charged shot does 25% damage. The attack inflicts great knockback at higher damage percentages and is a good projectile for edgeguarding. A fully charged shot can also break a Smash Ball in one hit (although the charging time must be taken into account if planning this).
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Samus' down throw can be used to immobilize an opponent just long enough to allow a quickly fired Charge Shot to connect with the opponent. This down throw + Charge Shot combo is highly effective against almost every character. Young Link is a notable exception, due to his high rebound height after being throwed down.
Charge Shot has eight different stages of damage and knockback that is determined by the charge of the attack, there are seven stages of charging and the eighth stage which is when the Charge Shot is fully charged. Unlike other charge attacks there is no difference to damage and knockback when in the air and the last stage of charging is weaker than the fully charged stage.

Charge cancel
In all three games, Samus is capable of interrupting the charge of the attack by pressing the shield button. Since its possible to go directly into a jump while shielding, charge canceling can be used to bluff an opponent by allowing them to come close to the player while they're charging, only to find themselves attacked by an aerial. Because the shield button was held down to cancel the shot, many players that are just learning the basics of this technique can only perform an aerial Grapple Beam afterwards, since they do not let go of the shield button quickly enough. However, with precision timing, it becomes possible to perform any action that is possible at any other given time that Samus would be airborne.
As an added bonus, the amount of time the Charge Shot had been charged is still retained after canceling via shield, in the same way as if it were canceled via a roll.
Side B
She makes a brief animation of pointing her launcher in front of her, then firing a missile. There are two types of missiles: Homing Missiles are fired by tilting (as opposed to tapping). They home on opponents to a degree (they do not move vertically very well), move slowly, and deal 5% of damage. Homing Missiles appear rocket-shaped with a purple nose, as they appear in the 2D Metroid games. Super Missiles are fired by tapping. They move in a fast, straight line, as opposed to Homing Missiles, and deal 10% damage with decent knockback.
Up B
Screw Attack: The move shoots Samus into the air, engulfing her in a blueish-tint electrical field (yellowish-tint in Melee), and spins her around and around, inflicting damage on any opponents that touch her. Just as in the first Super Smash Bros., the Screw Attack does cumulative damage and sucks opponents into the center. It's also often used to survive from a fall off the stage. This move can also be used as a Star KO when used from the ground on near-by enemies. One of two moves that Samus can use to send opponents upward.
Down B
Samus shifts into morph ball mode and lays a bomb, which will explode either after a set time period or upon contact with a character, shield, or breakable hitbox. If Samus is on top of a bomb when it explodes, she will shift into morph ball mode and bounce up; thus, if Samus uses Bomb while touching an opponent, she will hit the opponent or their shield with the bomb and be popped up into the air. The mechanics behind the Morph Ball result in the Super Wavedash in Melee. Bombs almost always hit twice, although the two hits are essentially indistinguishable; if a bomb drops onto an opponent from above, it may hit them once and bounce off without exploding. Bombs may do between 2% and 7% damage in SSBM. Bombing while in mid-air causes Samus to go into Morph Ball mode, and slows down her fall. In Melee, bombing twice consecutively in the air will cause Samus to pop upward from the first bomb, giving her near-infinite horizontal recovery.
Bombs are a large part of Samus's approach in SSBM. Simply running, wavedashing, or SWDing towards the opponent and bombing off of them gives several options. If the bomb hits, a fast-fallen aerial will almost certainly hit as well during the stun, and can lead to easy combos or edgeguards. If the bomb is shielded, Samus can either fast-fall an aerial anyway and go into grounded shield pressure with jabs, tilts, and grabs; bomb again while still on top of the opponent and severely wear down the shield, or simply jump away onto a nearby platform. Wavebombing, a technique found by Co_and_me, consists of Bombing off an opponent followed immediately by a downwards airdodge: this functions as a quick wavedash and allows various continuations.

text: The paper presents the analysis of temperature fields, phase transformations, strains and stresses in a cuboidal element made from S235 steel, surfaced with multipass GMA (Gas Metal Arc) method. The temperature field is described assuming a dualdistribution heat source model and summing up the temperature fields induced by the padded weld and by the electric arc. Dependence of stresses on strains is assumed on the basis of tensile curves of particular structures, taking into account the influence of temperature. The calculations were carried out on the example of five welds in the middle of the plate made of S235 steel. The simulation results are illustrated in graphs of thermal cycles, volume shares of structural components and stresses at the selected points of cross-section, and the temperature and strain distributions in the whole cross section.JO - Archives of Metallurgy and Materials L1 - http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/109126/PDF-MASTER/pan_doi_blank.pdf L2 - http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/109126 PY - 2018 IS - No 4 EP - 1628 KW - temperature field KW - phase transformation KW - Gas Metal Arc Weld surfacing A1 - Winczek, J.

Nationals place LHP Venters on IL with shoulder strainReuters | Washington DC | Updated: 13-07-2019 01:53 IST | Created: 13-07-2019 01:51 IST
The Washington Nationals placed left-hander Jonny Venters on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder strain, and right-hander Kyle McGowin was called up to fill his bullpen spot. Venters, 34, signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals in May and was called up to the major league team a little more than two weeks ago after posting a 1.29 ERA in nine appearances at Double-A Harrisburg.
In three appearances with the Nationals, he has allowed two earned runs on three hits while walking two. Over five seasons, Venters is 20-13 with a 2.71 ERA in 272 innings with the Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays and Nationals. He did not pitch in the major leagues from 2013-17 after a third Tommy John surgery.
McGowin, 27, who was sent down in late June when Venters was added to the Nationals roster, has 11 strikeouts in 10 innings for Washington this season. But he has also given up 11 earned runs for a 9.90 ERA.

Catching Up
Posted: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 | |
This post is probably just going to seem like recap of what's been going on so far this summer. We went to the zoo one day with Aunt Kaki and had a great time. I have several diet pepsi can coupons that are for a free child's admission and Charlotte is still free so we may be making several zoo trips this summer! Luke has a stuffed animal snake that he had to have after playing with one at his cousins house. He named it "Slimey". He carried this stuffed animal snake around with him and sleeps with it, etc. Loves this snake- so I was excited when there was a demonstration where Luke could touch a REAL snake!! So cool. He wasn't scared at all! Charlotte seemed a little afraid to touch any of the animals. She was holding her arms up high to stay away from it! (we now are the proud owners of more of these stuffed animal snakes as part of a potty training reward- which I will post more about later!)
Luke's favorite part was seeing the peacock's with their tail feathers all on display. He's a spoiled first-born so he got to go on lots of rides. lol Here he is riding a pony named Gayle. Charlotte freaked when I tried to have her touch the pony!
Here Luke is riding the Sky-Lift above the African Journey with Aunt Kaki. Something about that ride still makes me a little nervous!
Charlotte was happy anytime she could be walking on her own like a big girl.
Here's a boy excited to ride the choo-choo train.
And here's a girl surprised by the choo-choo train whisle! :)
Luke did visit the dentist for the first time... and I was soooo happy with how he behaved! I'd been prepping him a long time but then I didn't want to overdo it. Important things to remember are little things like saying, "You GET to go to the dentist." instead of "You HAVE to go to the dentist." He sometimes can be shy around new people but I think since it was just the one hygienist that he talked with and then the dentist later on he was pretty comfortable. He told them about the fish we had caught that morning and did a good job following directions. He has one little cavity (bad mommy!) that we have to go back in July but he won't really know that it will be much different. They won't have to numb it or anything (which is the scary part!) so hopefully it will be an easy visit again! He was such a good boy listening that the hygienist let him pick out two prizes! Here he is when he first got laid down in the chair.
We've had some big storms here lately to ring in the summer season. One was bad enough to knock out the power for a night. It happened around 6pm and then we had the evening to entertain the kids (at least it stayed light to around 9:30 so didn't have to use lanterns and flashlights too long). JW has been working 10 hour days plus Saturdays so he went to bed pretty early. I attempted to lay Charlotte down around 9 but I think the thunder was keeping her awake. We decided to try putting a dvd on the laptop for Luke and he thought that was sooooo much fun with just a camping lantern on. So I set him up with "Cars" on the laptop and some snacks. Soon Charlotte joined him at the little table. Charlotte finally started to try to smile on cue and do a big cheesy smile so I thought these were kind of fun moments. Little Miss Lottie ended up staying up until about 10:30 and Luke was up until about 11:30!!! Luckily, the power came on about 3am and the kids slept in late.

text: 777-200 and 787-9 B-Zone (Mid) Galley Pay Effective May 1, 2019 Date: May 8, 2019 As we have previously reported, beginning May 1st, 2019 and as a result of our ongoing advocacy, the Polaris service flow on all United 777-200 (excluding the 77G/77M) and 787-9 aircraft was modified to return a dedicated galley/aisle position to the mid-galley on these aircraft.The Flight Attendant assigned to work position #3 on these aircraft will work a galley/aisle position and will be compensated for the additional galley work on which the success of the service will rely by providing contractual galley override pay despite the fact that the majority of the work of this position will be done in the aisle. As with all changes, especially those involving pay related issues, we encourage you to monitor your Pay Register posted on CCS to ensure the add pay is correctly posted with the associated position. The galley pay should automatically be calculated and posted to your Pay Register. However, if you believe your pay has not been properly posted to your Pay Register to include the galley pay override for this position, submit a pay claim via Flying Together -> Hub Help. While it is anticipated that the additional service coordination efforts that will be brought about by the work of the person filling this dedicated position, it's not likely that all of the concerns you may have about the service will be fully addressed by this singular service change. Flight Attendants are encouraged to continue to submit marginal service reports to AFA, utilizing the submission form on our website. Additional information concerning the addition of this position and the details of the new service flow can be found in April 3, 2019 edition of Inflight Services Weekly (ISW).Additional questions should be directed to your Local Council Representatives.

April 15, 2012 (BBC) Some Asian glaciers putting on mass. Some glaciers near the Himalayas are putting on mass and scientists don't know why. The full article is available at:
Climate politics (and science too unfortunately) is all about creating an urgent need. If there is no urgent need, there is no funding….and if there is no funding, there is no employment. Governments have trouble focusing if the need is not urgent.
Virtually all funding in climate science is government funding. Climate scientists are usually consultants, working for governments or universities on a government grant. And we all know what a consultants first job is…..maintaining employment.
A consultant that does not find a problem, does not maintain employment. This set of circumstances can cause extraordinarily odd events as scientists search for ways to stay employed.
Enter the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Synopses Report on global climate. The IPCC has been producing climate reports since 1992, the 2007 version is their fourth iteration of the process.
When it was released in September of 2007, it predicted the glaciers in the Himalayas would be gone by 2035. Gone completely in only 28 years. What to do next…..hire lots of consultants of course.
In December of 2009, J. Graham Cogley, a professor at Ontario Trent University, stated (according to another BBC article) that the IPCC was off by more than 300 years.
In January of 2010, the IPCC admitted they made a mistake. The IPCC is quoted as the authority all over the world….the Himalaya Glacier prediction was a really big deal…and their 28 year prediction was off by more than 300 years. Wow. Can you say wild ass guess.
Let's return to the BBC article dated April 15, 2012. A group of French scientists used satellite data to demonstrate that the Karakoram range (a range next to the Himalayas which includes K-2 the second highest mountain in the world) has been putting on mass. We learn that the region is very remote and very difficult to study. It is clear from the article that there is still much to learn about the dynamics of ice and the Himalayas.
All this begs the question….How and why did the IPCC come up with their prediction? I don't know, but I suspect future employment opportunities might have been a factor.

this is a little side project I have been working on to help automate some of the settings and references that are required to be updated after a DB restore to a Pre-Production/Test/Development/etc environment. This came out of a customer suggestion.
Product Description:
Download Link:
Note: You will need to register to gain access to the downloads page, this was done due the growing number of "bots" or hacking scripts that have been attacking my site. The product is still free and your email will not be sold or passed on to a third party.
** Please Note: Registration to my site is now closed (contact me privately if you require registration).
This is due to the number of hacking attempts on my site, and my ability to maintain the overheads associated with these hacking attempts and to support my products, this application moving forward is now a paid for application (a small fee).
All previous versions are still valid with the current with the latest versions of Remedy/ITSM, however there maybe references in the later versions that need to be updated manually **

Larry Walker will have to wait for his final year on the ballot to potentially claim a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Larry Walker will have to wait for his final year on the ballot to potentially claim a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Those who know Walker aren't concerned that time is running out for the 1997 National League MVP from Maple Ridge, and they're excited about what his potential Hall of Fame nod could mean for Canadian baseball.
"He brought attention to the game in Canada while he was playing and if he gets into Cooperstown — when he gets in, I should say — it's going to bring more attention to baseball in Canada again," said Scott Mathieson, a pitcher with Japan's Yomiuri Giants who grew up in Vancouver.
"It could lead to more kids signing up for baseball again, wanting to be like Larry Walker. We've had a lot of good Canadian players but he's one of the best ever.
"He definitely should be in (the Hall of Fame). He's been overlooked many times now and it's frustrating to see that."
Walker, a career .313 hitter over 17 seasons, received 54.6 per cent of the votes Tuesday in his ninth year on the ballot. While he fell short of the 75 per cent required for induction, his 2019 tally was a significant jump from the 34.1 per cent Walker received in 2018.
So far, Fergie Jenkins is the only Canadian-born player in Cooperstown. The Chatham, Ont., native went into the Hall in 1991 and Walker is still hoping to join him.
"Pretty awesome jump up to 54.6!! Guess I will watch again next year for the last time," Walker tweeted Tuesday night. "Fingers crossed in joining the great Fergie Jenkins."
Mathieson, a former Phillies prospect, spent his formative years in the B.C. Premier League, often pitching on Larry Walker Field in Port Coquitlam.
He said Walker had a big impact on his early love for baseball.
"That's who everyone looked up to," the 34-year-old right-hander said. "I watched a lot more baseball because of him. His highlights were always on TV, his name was thrown around, and playing at the field named after him was always a big deal."
Amanda Asay, a pitcher/catcher with Canada's women's baseball team, felt the same way.
"I don't think you can be a Canadian baseball player and not be a fan of Larry Walker, especially when you're from B.C.," Asay said. "He was making his big splash in the majors when I was a Little Leaguer so there was always talk about Larry Walker.
"He's been the pride of B.C. baseball players for a long time. We've had quite a few that have made big impacts in the majors but it all really started with him."
Walker, now 52, signed with the Expos as an amateur free agent in 1984, five years before Canadians were first eligible for the MLB draft.
He made his MLB debut in 1989 and played six seasons with Montreal before signing a free-agent deal with Colorado, where he spent most of his career.
Voters have pointed to Coors Field, the notoriously hitter-friendly home ballpark of the Rockies, as a reason to hold Walker out of the Hall of Fame.
Asay doesn't think that's fair, though.
"It's weird to punish a player because that was his home field," she said. "It was a good place to hit but he was the only one putting up those numbers at that time. … and there are other ballparks that are easy to hit in as well, so that shouldn't keep him off the ballot.
"It didn't keep him from winning the MVP and getting other accolades so I don't think it should keep him out of Cooperstown either."
Asay has yet to meet Walker in person but the five-time all-star sent the women's team a video in 2016 ahead of their gold-medal match against Japan at the Women's Baseball World Cup.
"He said the Baseball Canada community was proud of us to make it that far … and he told us to go out there and put a golden cherry on the top of that sundae," Asay said of the message. "That was pretty cool. It was pretty neat to see him care like that."
Mathieson met Walker at a Baseball Canada banquet years ago and was reunited with him in 2013 when the seven-time Gold Glove outfielder served as a coach for Canada's World Baseball Classic team.
"It's pretty cool to get to meet someone who you idolized growing up," Mathieson said. "Not all the time those guys turn out to be good guys but he's the exception.
"He's a superstar, he should be a Hall of Famer."

It is the implementation of the spacecraft Skylon, a project which would be located by a private British company reaction engines limited (REL) which will seek to provide in the future the eternal promise of space tourism, although of course, will do it so using clean energy.
This conceptual ship would use as a means of automotive hydrogen energy, working in combined cycle and offering fuel consumption up to 15 times lower that is eventually used in shipments of special ships today.
It would also add conceptual technology of compressed air engine that take advantage of the heat generated by the ship out of the atmosphere to generate propulsion, with a combustion chamber where mezclaría with liquid hydrogen giving a great energy efficiency.

New home for the season
[City of canals and bicycles]
Work and love is bringing me back to the Old Continent for the next five months. It's convincingly probable that I will be wielding my new camera in this quaint little city of canals and bicycles. On top of that, I've got to let you know how excited I am about my new apartment and the equipped kitchen that comes with it. All I'd have to do is get flour and butter cos it is already filled to the brim with all kinds of appliances, dishes, and even spices! My workload (and funload for that matter) will pretty much determine how often I get to update you with my new life here. I will try!

Something interesting happened the other day. I put a poll on my facebook page asking people what kept them from being generous with their ideas. I assumed that people struggle to be generous.
Funnything happened though . . . all the responders said that they had trouble NOT SHARING :).
I thought about this a while and wondered why I would assume it is hard for people to share and then why I would get such an opposite response. Here is a hypothesis . . . those that are drawn to the facebook world, are very social and are less likely to have trouble sharing what they know.
What do you think?

Construction Management:
Developing our associated sub-contractors expertise, is a primary ingredient of our construction service. We place well educated, trained, skilled builders on our projects who understand construction means and methods, sound management processes and procedures, and who embrace the highest standards for excellence in the industry. We manage our projects with on-site resources which provide the following core services:
- Builders Expertise
- Cost Management
- Schedule Management
- Quality Control
- Project Closeout / Post Construction Support
- Owner Move-in Coordination
Faced with the comment, "If you as a Construction Manager are sure about your cost projection, why don't you take the risk", we took the plunge and contracting now contributes to the majority of Tailormade Construction's turnover.
Project Management
Project management ties together all activities on a project. A project may be well conceived and adequately financed, the contracts may be carefully drawn up, the contractors and workers highly experienced. But if all aspects of the project are not expertly integrated and managed, it may overrun the budget, fail to meet the schedule, or fall short in technical quality.
Tailormade Construction is a leader in project management, with experience on some of the most complex engineering and construction jobs undertaken. We know how to manage all aspects of even the most complex project, from engineering to procurement to construction and completion.
We are also experts at resolving conflicts and identifying issues, before they become problems.
Our teams focus on the overall picture, establishing priorities and coordinating activities and participants to ensure quality projects that are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

Per David K, County Commissioner Vince Perez loves Shapleigh and Company again.
Why is that?
It is simple.
If Congressman Beto O'Rourke does run for U.S. Senate, an office which has expressed interest in, then there are all sorts of openings around town.
But Shapleigh and Company already have people in mind for those open seats.
Congress? Veronica Escobar.
County Judge? Hmmmmm.
Perez would love to be County Judge.
But for whatever reason, he feels he would have an easier time becoming the next County Judge with Shapleigh and Company supporting him rather than having them run against him.
Here is the deal though.
Shapleigh and Company do not have anybody to run for County Judge.
I guess Perez fears that a David Stout candidacy for County Judge would be too much to handle?
Or maybe he worries that Bob Moore might destroy him?
Unless State Representative Cesar Blanco decides to run for Congress, more than likely, your next Congressperson is Veronica Escobar. You know damn sure she will not give herself a self-imposed term limit.
And your next County Judge? Vince Perez.
To be fair, Perez will be an improvement over the current County Judge.
While on the other hand, the next Congressperson representing El Paso will be a Paul Moreno in a skirt and chanclas.

I was lucky enough to not have class last Friday as it was the schools birthday, yes they celebrate that. In fact we have an assembly and school wide hike coming up this Friday - in addition to our day off. I took advantage of this by sleeping in and getting ready for the weekend. Thanks to some friends advice I opted to take the bus to Seoul, running me 15,000 won for 3 hours of travel in comparison to the train which is about 18,000 won and same amount of time. The bus was definitely more comfortable, spacious and we didn't have to stop to let people get on and off along the way - good choice. I got in around 6 and made my way to the hostel we booked for the night - Big Chois. The hostel was pretty much what I expected, although my travel buddies were less than enthusiastic about sharing a room with others (guess they didn't realize what a shared dorm room ment). I had to wait until about 10 for the others to get in, I went out explored and grabbed dinner but the cold and wind sent me back to the hostel. Choi and some of his friends were in the common area drinking makoli (korean rice wine - not bad) and invited me to join. They all had a minimal grasp of English and we were joined by two other foreigners (a post-grad backpacker from Switzerland and a retired man from the UK living here for 4 years - literally, at the hostel...) This might have been the best part of that night, one of the guys proceeded to tell me my future using my birthdate and time (I'm not supposed to make any investments this year or every 8 after that...good to know).
Saturday we started our day at a cute little coffee shop - decorated as if we were on the beaches of Hawaii. From there it was off to the Trickeye Museum which was just down the road from where we were staying. Basically it's full of art that looks 3D and you can interact with. Pictures would be better to explain.
|Happy Birthday Son!
Perfect angels :)
I wish this was for real - so much shopping to do in Seoul
Running out of time...
Popular (old school) Korean game Neolttwigi [널뛰기
Koreans generally dont' J-walk..case in point.
After the museum we made our way to Itaewon which is a popular area for foreigners to hang out. We found a new motel for the night, after realizing the concert was on the direct opposite side of Seoul from Big Chois, and enjoyed some high quality burritos (pretty much qdoba). This just goes to show how westernized Seoul has become, I was told there is NO mexican food in Korean, false and I found it. We had some time to kill before the concert so Son and I made our way to Dongdaemun History and Culture Park.
Random garbage/recycling sculpture in the park
We walked around the mall - pretty sure it was like 8 stories tall, and then went out to walk the street markets. After being somewhat depressed at the prices in the mall we found a steal - 10,000 won for some knock off Converse - I could care less about brand name, they were cute and cheap! score. Not knowing exactly where the concert was, being tired of wondering and ready to drink we decided to navigate our way there. Probably an hour later and after a few U-turns on the subway, we made it! Bough some soju and beer, picked up our tickets and camped out. Everyone was waiting in a massive crowd and we happen to meet two Koreans who had both come alone. 미현 hung out with us for the rest of the time before the concert and when we bought him a beer (for the steep price of about 1,700 won) he told us we were angels. You could tell he was beyond excited for the night and glad to make some new friends. Courtney met up with us just in time for us to go in and find our seats.
Group before the show!
I.am.not.a.whore - but I like to do it.
Sorry i'm not sorry - open containers, totally acceptable in Korea
I stole Son's glasses - he told me they make you invisible...
The concert was a blast, if anything it was over too soon - but I guess that's where "time flies when you're having fun" would apply. We had a good 30minute subway ride home and by that time Son and I realized we were starving - no dinner, oops. Son wanted a good steak so somehow we wound up at Outback - it was fine, probably not worth the price they charged us but that's what you get when you try to eat Americanized Australian food, in South Korea. Sunday morning came all too soon and we decided to continue our American tour with a stop at Dunkin' Donuts. We were then off for more shopping, wandering, lunch with Daniel (one of our teachers from orientation) and then it was back home to the reality of another week.
Incase the pictures weren't enough...

Thank you, Lord, for my marriage
to the man that You knew,
from eternity past,
would be my perfect mate.
No, my Dear Husband is not perfect.
That means I am not perfect either.
But by God's grace,
because He first loved us
by sacrificing His Son, Jesus,
to die for our sins,
He enables us to face the challenges of married life
with joy.
Joy is happiness
because of God's love, provision, and protection,
no matter what
our circumstances are.
I can't even take that all in.
It will take me the rest of my life
to begin to plumb the depths of Love like that!
And thank You for my Dear Husband
who loves me
no matter what;
who fights for our love
against the temptations to walk away
when the going gets tough.
I don't deserve him!
Lord, I pray that You would give me grace to use EVERY interaction with him
to show my love for him
and You.
I want to credit Casondra at Pieces of My Heaven on Earth
for the idea in the paragraph above
and for sharing this song on her website.
God is love...
We love because He first loved us.
1 John 4:16, 19
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of one's house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NIV)
Joining with Janet @ Homeward Bound
for their fabulous Friday blog hops.
Hop on over and make some new friends!
Have a blessed day, my friends.
Love, Karen

Ogden's Own Distillery Celebrates New Product Release and Prestigious Competition Results
Ogden, UT, March 20, 2017 --(
)-- Ogden's Own Distillery announced the release date for Madam Pattirini Gin and Porter's Apple Liqueur to the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC). The company also announced results from the 2017 Denver International Spirits Competition where Five Wives Vodka and Porter's Peach Liqueur received gold medals and Madam Pattirini Gin and Porter's Apple received silver medals. These were the companies only products entered in this year's competition.
Both silver medal winning products, Madam Pattirini Gin and Porter's Apple Liqueur, will be shipped to the state of Utah on April 3, 2017 and the company anticipates they will begin to appear on DABC store shelves around April 11.
"We've been waiting for a few months on the DABC to send us an order for our most recent creations," managing partner Steve Conlin explained. "It's nice that it coincided with the release of this great news regarding contest results."
Madam Pattirini Gin is made from juniper, bergamot, coriander, cardamom, Nigerian ginger, and Sicilian lemon in small runs of less than 1,000 bottles at a time. All bottles are individually hand-numbered by batch and bottle.
As the 35th child of LDS Prophet Brigham Young, B. Morris Young AKA Madam Pattirini was one of the more interesting and little know figures of the Old West. In 1895, he began publicly performing in drag as an "Italian opera diva" under the pseudonym "Madam Pattirini." Young performed as Pattirini in north and central Utah venues from 1885 to the 1900s. He could produce a convincing falsetto, and many in the audience did not realize that Pattirini was Young. Much like people will be surprised that a great gin comes from Utah.
Porter's Apple Liqueur extends the company's flavored whiskey brands which pay homage to the infamous Porter Rockwell - a legend during the early days of the LDS church where he was bodyguard for founder Joseph Smith and served as a deputy marshal in Utah. Rockwell was known for heavy-handed enforcement and the killing of many men.
Porter's Apple joins Porter's Fire cinnamon-vanilla and Porter's Peach in the Porter's family of whiskey liqueurs.
"We now have eight award-winning products on shelves in Utah as well as other states like Michigan and in stores like Total Wine & More across the country," Conlin said. "Utah's largest locally-owned distillery keeps growing!"
Underground Herbal Spirit, produced by Ogden's Own Distillery, was honored with a gold medal in the 2014 Denver International Spirits competition.
The Denver International Spirits Competition is judged by a panel consisting of top sommeliers, retail buyers, journalists, mixologists and beverage directors from around the world. Learn more at www.denverspiritscomp.com.
About Ogden's Own Distillery:

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has challenged Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to admit that the Federal Government was responsible for fuel subsidy payments following his comment that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and not the federal government was responsible.
Fayose asked, "What is the difference between NNPC and the federal government? Who is NNPC and who is federal government? Is NNPC now an autonomous agency of the federal government?"
The governor added, "Fact is; NNPC does not have rights to spend money it generates from the sales of crude oil. It does not have the rights to swap crude oil for subsidy. Where is NNPC getting the money with which it is subsidizing petrol with N26 per litre? Is NNPC spending money from the sales of crude oil that should be paid into the federation account to pay subsidy?"
Fayose's Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, disclosed the governor's views via a statement.
Read also: Osinbajo admits return of fuel subsidy, but says NNPC pays, not Nigerian govt
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, NNPC Group Managing Director, Maikanti Baru, had revealed that the landing cost of petrol was now N171 as against the official pump price of N145 per litre, meaning that N26 was being paid as subsidy on every litre of petrol imported to retain the pump price of N145.
On Monday, Osinbajo stated that the NNPC was bearing the cost of subsidy and not the federal government.
But reacting, Governor Fayose said, "I like the Vice President, he is a pastor and I don't believe that he will also join others in Buhari's government to lie to Nigerians. However, this one that he presented NNPC as an agency of the federal government that can allocate fund without the approval of the president is very strange to me.
"If subsidy is being paid by the NNPC as claimed by Vice President Osinbajo, where is the money coming from? Is it from sales of crude oil? Does it now mean that the NNPC is spending part of the proceeds of the sale of crude oil outside allocation to the federal government by the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC)?"
Speaking further, the governor said, "We were all in this country in 2012 when chieftains of the APC, including President Buhari led protests across the country against removal of fuel subsidy.
"Before he became President, Buhari maintained that fuel subsidy never existed and when he became President, he said he did not know what fuel subsidy meant.
"We were also in Nigeria in May 2016, when the federal government announced the removal of subsidy on petrol and went on to increase the pump price of petrol to N145 per litre. The same APC people, who protested against removal of subsidy and increment of petrol price to N140 in 2012, defended the removal in 2016 and increment of pump price to N145.
"In 2017 budget of the federal government, provision was not made for the payment of fuel subsidy, so also that of 2018. So where is the N26 they are subsidizing one litre of petrol with coming from? Is the Buhari-led government spending fund not appropriated by the National Assembly?"

Keeping it Cool in the summer
Hello lovelies!
Today I wanted to share this ootd with all of you.
It's this super cute and perfect summer outfit. Now I can imagine you're first thoughts are, "but you're wearing long sleeves!" "Aren't you hot?" Actually despiste the heat, I'm not. Surprisingly I'm pretty cool. So here's my secret, it's all about the materials. Lately we've been having 100° days here in California so being modest and still keeping it cool can be tricky if you don't know what fabrics to wear. I typically like to wear clothing with really light, breathable fabrics. I also love long sleeves and they are totally doable in the summer as long as you're careful about the fabrics you choose. I recommend light airy fabrics like: knitted fabrics, cotton, rayon, linen and chiffons as these fabrics breath in the heat and aren't to heavy to wear. This way you won't be overly hot, sticky or sweaty and still rock your modest wear.
This is definitely an outfit that I'd wear for a day out with friends or family. I know I'll be comfortable in all day and I can enjoy my nice airy wrap skirt.
Till next time beauties!

Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum gained on his GOP opponent after the machine recount was completed on Thursday.
But the net change may make him question whether he should have withdrawn his concession.
The final tally of 4,075,445 for DeSantis and 4,041,762 for Gillum represented exactly one additional net vote for the Democratic Tallahassee mayor over the unofficial pre-recount results.
The resulting 0.41 percent margin is well outside the 0.25 percent needed for a manual recount, according to the Sun-Sentinel, yet Gillum so far has refused to concede.- READ MORE

Board Welcomes New CRSP® Recipients
Mississauga, ON – The Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals® (BCRSP) is pleased to announce 158 Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) professionals have recently been granted the prominent CRSP® designation.
With years of experience, education and leadership in multiple industries, the recipients received their designations this past winter after completing a three part screening and examination process.
"The BCRSP has certified 5000+ individuals since its incorporation in 1976," says Daniel T. Lyons, Chair of the Board. "The designation is widely recognized by employers as a benchmark for OHS positions and is regularly referenced as a minimum employment qualification."
As CRSP's®, they provide organizations with expertise in many areas including:
- Offering proactive health and safety solutions
- Driving injury reduction and loss prevention through OHS management
- Engaging stakeholders across all levels of the organization in building a positive OHS culture
- Leading an organization's processes for monitoring, measuring and evaluating OHS performance
- Exemplifying professional credibility because of the high standard required to obtain and maintain certification
CRSP's®, quickly become leaders in their industry and assist companies across Canada to operate safely, on a daily basis.
In October, 64% of first time examination writers successfully passed the examination and have been awarded the CRSP certification.
Starting in 2015, the examination will be offered three times across Canada (in both English and French) taking place in February, June and October.

Latest Warhammer 40k Releases
This weeks Games Workshop Pre-Orders are up and it's a mixed bag. The positives being a discount strike force for Space Wolves & a lovely looking codex for Grey Knights. The ok news is the new Skyclaw and Long Fang boxes that look like standard space marine boxes with an extra wolf sprue. Fine.
The disappointment would be the distinct lack of new models for the codex update. I know it's happened before with Blood Angels and Sisters getting a digital release of their codex with no new models but that wasn't bringing a new codex - there is still hope that they will get a full release. This looks like a pretty new codex in the new format yet nothing on the models side. If I were a Grey Knights player I would be sobbing/raging.
The last release I want to bring up is an apparent re-box of the Grey Knight Strike Squad coming in at a rather phenomenal £37.5. Wow, pricey.
Now readers will have to fill me in here, I am assuming the old box was a 5 man kit and this is now the same models with double the sprue? If so what was the original cost of the 5 man kit? Does this work out cheaper or more expensive that it used to be?

What Glenn's customers have been saying about him
"I had two ancient sliding sash bay windows replaced in wood boxes repaired, in July. I had an additional window extensively repaired. The work was carried out by James Barnard of Sliding Sash Solutions. The initial advice and measuring were done by Glenn. The first thing to say is that the people that I came in contact with were just such genuinely helpful, hardworking, friendly people. It was a pleasure to have them in my home. The quality of workmanship delivered was just excellent and is now admired by neighbours, friends and family. The price for this work was extremely reasonable and competitive in the London context. I plan to replace additional windows and doors and without hesitation or reference to any other company, I will go direct to Sliding Sash Solutions."
"A thank you to your hardworking, polite and extremely considerate carpenter who minimised the disruption and dust while carrying out the repairs and restoration quickly and calmly. I will not hesitate to recommend your company."
"The noise reduction is amazing and now they don't rattle, much better than buying upvc!"
The new windows are amazing and what a difference. I was very impressed by your professional service and efficiency of fitting. I am very pleased with them and I will certainly recommend you to others.
"Just thought I'd write and say that the windows are fantastic. The draughts that our heating struggled with on the coldest days of the year with are now completely gone. The bonus is the noise or lack of it. It actually makes the entire flat feel like a more modern building. I wish I'd had it done the moment we moved in."
"I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the work carried out on our windows. We are feeling the beneficial results already. Your installers were cheerful and cleaned up afterwards."
"We are very pleased with our Newly draught proofed windows and with the ease with which we can open them. Thank you. We are also impressed with your work and the excellent clearing up when it was finished."
"Just a quick note to thank you for the work your team has done on our windows. They arrived on time and did a splendid job. A very friendly service I would recommend."
"I wanted to let you know how happy we are with the work That your team have done at the house. The guys were extremely conscientious in their approach and the finished results is very impressive. We are already noticing the difference your system has made with an increase in warmth and a decrease in noise levels."

I wish there's a photo editing feature to unblur/stabilize the photo to make up for my quick unpermitted photo taking.
I do like the culture and style that is represented. Definitely not a common dining room setting we're used to. The Chinese tea set and bowls fit perfectly in the picture.
Although this style doesn't particularly give us the idea of comfort since there's no cushioning on the chairs, a round table brings a lot of convenience when it comes to a family gathering dinner.
This round table can fit around 8 or more family members when eating. Plus: rotating wooden plate in the middle to easily reach every plate there are.

My Hell
Your back.. Have you ever really left?. I thought for a few times I was rid of you. I felt calm, at ease, and even a bit peaceful. But no, you have come back with a vengeance. More powerful and debilitating than before. What have a done to deserve you? Do others feel the same way as I? I feel like a freak? After all, who can't venture outside the walls of their own house with out feeling attacked! mauled! gasping for air. The fresh air should be great for me. however, it only cripples me. Stopping me in my tracks. Feeling as if my last breath will be my final breath. I try and calm myself with breathing exercises and this only makes my heart beat faster and the tingling in my legs has creeped up to my fingers. Am I going to pass out? What if I pass out, what about my kids? what about the baby? what if I am alone with the baby and I pass out? Damn you anxiety! You have taken a hold of my life once again. I am a prisoner in my own home. Held captive by my fears. You are preventing me from seeing people, making new friends, enjoying a day out shopping. You have prevented my sons from having friends because I am too afraid to strike up a conversation with their parents. Anxiety you have taken a hold of me and I need to break free! I need to free myself from you ugliness! I need to rid myself of the fears you give me and I need to live my life! If not for the sack of me, but for the sake of my children and the people that I love.

The Dallas Sports Commission Story
Dallas is one of the premier sports destinations in the country and the Dallas Sports Commission plays a significant role in attracting sports events, competitions and conferences to our great city.
The DSC has been involved with the planning and execution of major sporting events in Dallas since 2015, which includes the NFL Draft, NHL Draft, the NCAA Women's Final Four, WrestleMania and the College Football Playoff National Championship. That is just part of the story as the DSC has posted some impressive numbers in the four years since it was formed:
- 237 total events
- 66 million event attendance
- $1.749 billion in economic impact
- 1,047,309 room nights
Involving the community is very important to the DSC, as we look to present events that will have a positive impact on the quality of life for Dallas residents. In 2018, we helped usher in the inaugural Dallas Bike Ride, a family-friendly bike ride through the city. We are also proud to spearhead the Dallas Regional Spelling Bee and offer other sports-related community initiatives.
Always with an eye looking forward, the DSC has 98 future events booked that will generate an attendance of 3.46 million and a projected economic impact of more than $2 billion.
In 2018, the Dallas Sports Commission (DSC) hosted 66 events resulting in $571.9 million in economic impact and 1.263 million attendees. Major events and community initiatives included:
2018 NFL Draft
The first NFL Draft hosted at an NFL stadium proved to be a rousing success in both economic impact and attendance as the 2018 NFL Draft held April 26-28 at AT&T Stadium posted record numbers. The $125.2 million generated in economic impact set a record for the NFL Draft and was the first year that the NFL Draft generated more than $100 million in economic impact for its host region.
The 2018 NFL Draft attracted football fans of all ages for the largest free football festival in league history and has grown into one of the biggest sporting events of the year. A record crowd of more than 100,000 fans attended the opening day of the NFL Draft and the NFL Draft Experience on April 26, making it the highest-ever attendance for the opening day of the Draft. Overall, the 3-day event was attended by more than 200,000 fans.
2018 NHL Draft
On June 22nd and 23rd, Dallas hosted the NHL Draft for the first time at the American Airlines Center to cap off the Dallas Stars' 25th Anniversary season in Dallas. All 31 teams sent delegations to Dallas and the Draft was covered by national and international media. Fans were able to see the stars of tomorrow while getting autographs at the Fan Fest and an opportunity to see the Stanley Cup.
AT&T Byron Nelson
The AT&T Byron Nelson returned home to Dallas in May at the beautiful new Trinity Forest Golf Club. The links-style course just south of downtown provided fans with unique vantage points to watch the top golfers in the world compete. 21-year-old Aaron Wise captured his first PGA Tour win with a three-shot victory.
2023 NCAA Women's Final Four
Dallas was awarded the 2023 NCAA Women's Final Four as the championship returns to the American Airlines Center. Sell-out crowds witnessed some of the greatest games in the sport's history when South Carolina captured the crown in Dallas in 2017.
2026 FIFA World Cup bid
Soccer's elite will return to North America in 2026 and the Dallas Sports Commission was recognized for playing a vital role in the high-profile bid to bring the FIFA World Cup to Dallas. The United Bid (United States, Canada and Mexico) was selected to host in 2026 this past June and candidate host cities will be selected to host matches in late 2020 or early 2021.
Future BIG Wins include:
- World Food Championships (2019)
- Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic (2020)
- NCAA Women's Basketball Regional (2020)
- USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championship (2020)
- NCAA Men's Basketball 1st/2nd Rounds (2021)
- NCAA Women's Final Four (2023)
Our Mission
The Dallas Sports Commission is a non-profit organization whose mission is to attract, retain and support sports and entertainment events that will position Dallas as the premier sports destination and have a positive impact on the economy and quality of life of Dallas residents.
Our Purpose
To provide event organizers of amateur, collegiate, Olympic or professional sporting events or meetings with a one stop shop. With just one call the Dallas Sports Commission Team will assist and facilitate all the necessary steps in planning a fantastic event in Dallas or the surrounding area. With their connections through various sports and tourism committees they will help you find your ideal location, nearby hotels and any service provider you need.
Our Logo
The Dallas Sports Commission logo is a symbol of accomplishment - of the hard work and teamwork that turns players into champions. Of the passion and pride that makes Dallas a city where big wins happen. Its design is inspired by championship banners, which are representations of the triumph of victory.
The "D" itself is derived from VisitDallas' logo, and takes visual cues from collegiate letterman jackets. Finally, the stitching on the outside border of the banner adds an additional element of dimension to the icon. When working together, each piece of the logo is intended to invoke a feeling of pride and leave behind this city's legacy in the realm of sports.
"The dedication of the Dallas Sports Commission is the underlying reason why we continue to select Dallas to host the Mizuno Lone Star Classic National Qualifier over two weekends at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. " Glen Lietzke Executive Director Mizuno Lone Star Classic
