Are you an employee or a subcontractor?
Some employers are calling "employees" subcontractors. This is done for a variety of reasons. This usually includes not having to pay for workers compensation insurance and unemployment insurance. This can add up to huge savings.
But what your employer calls you is not necessarily what you are. You can call an apple an orange, but it does not make it so. If you believe you are really an employee then file for benefits. An Administrative Law Judge will decide which one you are.
In Michigan the most referred to case on this issue is McKissic v Bodine, 42 Mich App 203 (1972); lv den 388 Mich 780 (1972). Here the Court set out a test of eight factors to look at to make the decision.
The Court stated: "The test to determine whether an employee-employer relationship exists for purposes of the Worker's Compensation Act is the "economic reality test", and the factors used to apply the test are whether: (1) the employer will incur liability if the relationship terminates at will; (2) the work performed is an integral part of the employer's business; (3) the employee primarily depends upon the wages for living expenses; (4) the employee furnishes equipment and material; (5) the employee holds himself out to the public as able to perform certain tasks; (6) the work involved is customarily performed by an independent contractor. Along with (7) the factors of control, payment of wages, maintenance of discipline, and the right to engage or discharge employees; and (8) weighing those factors which will most favorably effectuate the purposes of the Act.
Obviously, this is a complicated test. But if it can be simplified I'd say it looks at degree of control. The more the employer controls what you do, where you do it, how you do it and when you do it, determines if you are an employee or subcontractor. The more the control the more likely you are an employee.
If you have any questions regarding your status as an employee or subcontractor, you should contact a lawyer who is familiar with unemployment law.

The United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Terrence McCulley, incurred the wrath of the Federal Government last week over a statement he made about the way the country is handling the Boko Haram menace. Foreign Editor DAYO FABORODE was at the session where McCulley spoke on Mali and its connection to the dreadful sect.
Is there a link between the military operation in Mali and the terrorist activities of Boko Haram. Can we say the military operation in Mali has reduced the terrorist activities for Boko Haram in Nigeria?
I would say that, as my colleague pointed out, this issue has a regional dimension. And clearly the government of Nigeria is very concerned about the situation in northern Mali. We are all concerned with the influx, after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, of weapons and extremists. We have seen reports for years of Boko Haram extremists travelling to Northern Mali for training and then returning to Nigeria. The Boko Haram phenomena has not stopped in Northern Mali. I do believe that Nigerians feel there is a link between terrorist activity in the Sahel and their internal extremist insurgency.
The government of Nigeria clearly needs to address this issue with what we called for, a multi-pronged approach that focuses generally on the security threat that Boko Haram represents, but also in addressing the economic and social conditions that exist in the North. 2,000 people have been killed since 2009. A comprehensive strategy that goes after extremists without injuring innocent civilians, without killing innocent civilians, respecting human rights and respecting the rule of law is required. But clearly, the crisis affecting Mali and the region in general has an effect upon the insurgency in Northern Nigeria.
Does the U.S. have any plans for drones to be used in Nigeria? Have Nigerian authorities asked any questions diplomatically about the use of these drones and how do you address mounting concerns about the US opening a drone base in Africa after some drone strikes have killed civilians in other parts of the world?
I think that question is probably best addressed by the Department of Defence or my colleague Ambassador Bisa Williams. The issue will still come up in the Nigerian press and it has been addressed by the Department of Defence. I don't really think this is an appropriate forum to comment on that. The Nigerians have not raised this issue with us formally.
How do you see ECOWAS's handling of the Mali war?
I am speaking also in my capacity as the United States Permanent Representative to the Economic Community of West African States. ECOWAS has a long and proud tradition of engagement in matters of peace and security in the West African region, going back to the crisis in Liberia and Sierra Leone and more recently the crisis in Guinea Bissau and Cote d'Ivoire. Since the beginning of the crisis in Mali last year, ECOWAS once again has shown great leadership and I would like to use this occasion to commend the leadership of the sitting President of ECOWAS, the Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara, as well as the President of the ECOWAS commission, Ambassador Ouédraogo. Both of them have shown great engagement in bringing together ECOWAS for a quick consensus in condemning the coup, calling for the restoration of legitimate rule and calling for the deployment of force to ensure the territorial integrity of Mali. Throughout this process the United States has been a strong supporter of ECOWAS and of the efforts of President Ouattara and President Ouédraogo and their fellow heads of states throughout the West Africa region. We will continue to provide support to ECOWAS. My colleague Ambassador Leonard has outlined the material support that the United States is providing to AFISMA to the end of the fiscal year. I expect that that support will continue going forward. We look forward to working closely with ECOWAS, with the African Union, to restore peace in Mali, to bring about restoration of the country's territorial integrity and to ensuring that countries of the ECOWAS zone have what they need to get the job done, and beyond that, other countries that have been associated with this mission, notably Chad, beyond the ECOWAS zone. Let me stop there so that we can have time for questions, but again I would like to thank you all for coming.
Can you speak more on French and other nations' involvement in Mali?
In the first place, the French forces remain in Mali and remain actively engaged in so far I can tell from reading the news reports. With regards to U.S. support to AFISMA, we are providing training through our Africa contingency operations training, which is our peacekeeping package, which is managed by the Department of State. Traditionally, we are providing lifts to the some of the troop-contributing countries. Certainly we do not envisage having U.S. forces on the ground. We are looking at training in-country, whether it be in Togo or Niger. The Nigerian contingent that is part of AFISMA, the 333rd, has just finished the training in Jaji up in Kaduna, before they were deployed to Mali. So, from the U.S. side we very much look at this as a train and equip package and a sustainment package, which will provide life support to the troops on the ground in Mali and pre-deployment training.
Sure, I think as Ambassador Leonard pointed out in her opening remarks, the United States has already committed $96 million this fiscal year alone to help train, equip and provide life support to AFISMA and I would say that the response of ECOWAS and countries beyond the ECOWAS zone line, like Chad, has been quite impressive. In fact, according to the last count, there are already over 6,200 AFISMA troops deployed. I believe that the U.S. has a plan to provide additional training to troops that are going to be deployed to AFISMA. It is clearly a challenging environment. And from what we see, the Chadians and French in the north are really carrying the fight, but the expectation is that as we transition to a fully operational AFISMA, that it is going to effectively play the role that ECOWAS and the African Union has set out for it and I think the expectation is that AFISMA will also transition to a UN peacekeeping operation. So I think that there has been a robust response from ECOWAS thus far, given that we are really only 12 months from the outset of the crisis. The political reaction from ECOWAS was timely and once the decision was made to deploy AFISMA it was deployed with alacrity and there are many troops on the ground now.
The funding for AFISMA has been very slow in coming. How effective do you think they will operate without funds?
I would say that the funding for AFISMA has not been slow in coming. We committed very early on and provided already, an initial $34 million has been notified to Congress, $52 million is in the pipeline to provide support for equipment training and logistics. We believe that this is an international effort though, and as Ambassador Leonard pointed out in her statement, there are gaps which we hope that other donors will step up and provide support for AFISMA. We have ongoing training, we have a contract underway to provide life support to AFISMA so I would say that the money has not been slow in coming and the United States will continue to do what we can to provide support for this important mission.

When I started We Are SkeptiXX, I was so pumped about the blog—especially after PZ Myers mentioned it on Pharyngula, which resulted in the views on the blog jumping from 18 on its inaugural day of December 1 to 1,604 on December 3 and a whopping 2,249 on December 4. I pretty much invited everyone I know to contribute, male or female. As long as the post is in keeping with the blog's stated purpose of "supporting women in the skeptics movement," I would love to consider any and all submissions for the site. When Ben sent me the expanded version of a piece he had done for Discovery News as a submission for SkeptiXX, I hadn't even read the original post yet and so told him I'd need to look it over before posting it. When I finally got the chance to read it, I was actually pretty taken aback. I was hesitant to post it, but not because I disagree with the majority of what he wrote—after all, a big part of skepticism is civil argument about questioned claims. But I couldn't figure out what the post had to do with "supporting women in the skeptics movement." I started to reply to the article on a very long Facebook thread, but then I realized I might as well reply in this forum instead. Below you'll find Ben's original We Are SkeptiXX submission that expands on his online article. Below that is my counter-response. I hope you enjoy the exchange and will let us know what you think in the comments section.

Carefree approves $6.6 million budget bottom line
Gimson said it had been an honor to serve over the past two years but this will give him more time to dedicate to the Foothills Caring Corps
CAREFREE – Mayor David Schwan announced it was Councilman Arthur Gimson's last council meeting, since he chose not to run for reelection, and presented him with a plaque during Tuesday night's council meeting thanking him for his dedicated service to the town of Carefree.
Gimson said it had been an honor to serve over the past two years but this will give him more time to dedicate to the Foothills Caring Corps.
Since the budget was the main agenda item, Gimson also pointed out the 1 percent sales tax meant to pay for fire protection services was met with a $425,000 shortfall last year that had to be subsidized by the general fund and is expected to be that short again this year.
He said $850,000 every two years would be enough to pay for capital improvements.
In fact, he said it would be enough to pay for the capital improvements in the current budget.
"We can't keep pulling money from the general fund," said Gimson, with the hope of replenishing it someday.
He suggested every homeowner be required to pay $150 per year, which is still substantially less than what their Rural/Metro Fire subscription would be so the town does not have to continue subsidizing fire protection from the general fund.
Margo Wittenberg spoke during Call to the Public.
Wittenberg said she and her husband have lived in Carefree since 1977, they were instrumental in the incorporation of the town in 1984 and designed the town seal.
She said a lot of changes have taken place on the national and international level over which they have very little direct input and the vast majority of those changes have not been positive.
"Now, we might not be able to stop what happens in Washington, D.C.," said Wittenberg, "but we sure don't have to imitate them here on the local level where it appears we are trying to spend ourselves into prosperity without the benefit of the fed's printing press to print unconstitutional Federal Reserve Notes."
She said none of the proposed capital improvements, with the possible exception of road maintenance, have much justification or a good business return and are nothing more than someone's idea of trying to stimulate the local economy's business – it's called subsidy with taxpayers' money.
"This is not a function of government," said Wittenberg, who called the proposed splash pad "total insanity."
She asked everyone to get a hold of pocket-size copy of the Constitution, read it and understand what it means.
Her husband Russ Wittenberg followed.
He asked, "Who was the genius or geniuses who dreamed up this set of ideas of just how to bring prosperity to Carefree?"
He talked about the breadth of world's financial condition that he said was not being reported honestly by the mainstream media or either political party.
Wittenberg asked if they would invest any of their own money in any of the proposed capital projects and, if not, why were they trying to stick the taxpayers of Carefree with something they would not invest in themselves.
In conclusion, Wittenberg said, "This proposal is so bad, it is an embarrassment that I have even come down here to oppose it because it sounds like something that comes out of Washington every day. If we can't stop this kind of insanity here on the local level, just how in God's name do we expect to stop this on even higher levels?"
The mayor announced there would be a public workshop at 4 p.m. on May 21 to talk about the large capital improvement projects.
And, he said at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 14, there would be a farewell party for Town Clerk Betsy Wise, who is retiring, at the Carefree Resort.
Town Administrator Gary Neiss presented the budget and said council would be approving the bottom line of $6.6 million with the final public hearing on June 4.
He said Carefree has the largest per capita reserves of any other municipality in Arizona.
The majority of his discussion explained how many of the town's assets, such as upgraded radios for the fire department, the street sweeper, new windows and other energy efficient improvements to the Sundial building were obtained with grant money and unless those items were budgeted the town couldn't procure them.
While budgeting for expenditures didn't necessarily mean they were going to do any of those things, Neiss said unless they included them in the budget they would not be able to do them.
Most of council's discussion evolved around explaining how items must be budgeted before there could even be any discussion about spending money for projects that would still need to come before council for approval.
During public comment, Jim Van Allen pointed to an article in a Scottsdale newspaper where Schwan said the town had $4.7 million in the bank to spend on infrastructure improvements.
Schwan said he was referring to road projects.
Van Allen said, "It doesn't say that."
Van Allen suggested the town not budget for large capital improvement projects and put the money in reserve, stating, "Then if there's an appetite for it, you can budget to do it."
After performing a salary and benefits analysis, Van Allen said it reflected a 24 percent increase for the town's fifteen employees.
Ralph Pipp thanked council and staff for doing a great job in developing the budget.
He said the proposed capital improvements were very important components within the concept of the Carefree Gardens and called the budget very conservative.
Lyn Hitchon asked Neiss if items had to be budgeted before the town could get grants.
Neiss said many grants have timelines associated with them.
Council passed the budget by a vote of 6-1 with Councilman Mike Farrar dissenting.
After the meeting, Russ Wittenberg asked, "Where do they think the grant money comes from?"
He said it was all tax money.

PHOENIX, ARIZ. — J. ALLEN HYNEK, 75, an authority on unidentified flying objects and former director of the Air Force's Project Blue Book, an investigation into UFO phenomena, died Sunday.
Hynek, a professor of astronomy, directed Project Blue Book from 1948 to 1969. He founded the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Ill., in 1973, and when he moved to Arizona a year ago he brought the center with him.
He coined the phrase ''close encounters of the third kind'' in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience. Hynek was head of the Department of Astronomy at Northwestern University for 18 years until his retirement in 1978.

My computer, however, is. Either I buy a new one, or buy the new pieces.
Anyway, much to say, and 34 minutes to say it. New job, new snow, new relations, new year! I left the club to bartend in the restaurant upstairs, owned by the same company. It is awesome. Amanda and I are no more, I am ok with it. She has stuff in life, and I am happy not owning stuff. Whistler and its inhabitants have just about finished the Christmas rush. Next up is the VANOC rush, then the Olympic Rush, followed by the Paralympic Rush and ending with the TWSSF, the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival in April. I personally think that the Fest will be off the chain, as the Whistler scene will be fresh in everybody's mind. Plus, the local crowd will have the "We did it" factor going so they'll (we'll?) be wanting to rage it. Long story short: what has two thumbs and won't get a break from the insanity until May?
This guy!
Central America beckons.
New layout for the future blogs: in addition to the shit on my mind that I enjoy writing ever so much, I will be going all Perez Hilton on yo' asses with respects to the celeb spotting that will inevitably happen over the coming months. Why not eh? First up: Paris Hilton, yes THAT one. She was partying for hire allegedly. As the story goes, you pay her obscene amounts of cash so that you can be a somebody with her. Is this what the world is coming to? On a similar note, Tiger woods has been in a spot of bother recently (He sat on Santa's knee, and when he said Ho Ho Ho! Tiger said "Where Where Where?") Anyway, my point is this. He broke the previous record for the number of consecutive days a story has been covered on the front page of the New York Post. 20 days beat the previous story, which for those of you taking notes, was the World Trade Centre collapse... Again, really? I don't want to be a part of that society, thank you very much. Bring on the snow and the road closures from Vancouver.

Edge of Tomorrow was a really good summer blockbuster, and highly recommended, though I was let down by the end. Spoiler: it was really Hollywood.
SPOILERS ahead.
This film was different from most summer films: about halfway through, I realised I was having a lot of fun. As in, Edge of Tomorrow (or Live, Die, Repeat – what's happening there?!) was very entertaining and I was enjoying watching it. This may seem like a stupid statement, but with so many summer blockbusters I usually zone out and enjoy them in a sort of passive way. Controversial, but I didn't enjoy Avengers Assemble nearly as much as I did EoT.
It was in the middle of the sequences where we see Tom Cruise's Major/Private Cage die over and over again – clips where he's both hit by and run over by trucks had me giggling more than probably seems reasonable unless you've seen the film. They're so well edited and made to illicit laughs, and they're fun. And that's the thing, the laughs aren't a result of puns or weak jokes (I'm looking at you Avengers), but instead it's usually through quick editing and visual gags. It was so refreshing.
Cruise's Cage is good, going through smarmy, scared, depressed and then true action hero as the film progresses, but for me the film's true standout was Emily Blunt. It does help that I love Emily Blunt, but her Rita has a lot to do with making the film as fun as it is. Cage is able to be a little more goofy than he would otherwise be able to be if she wasn't so deadpan and straight. She is also very convincing as an extremely efficient – and scary – soldier, something that more people should have seen coming given her performance in The Devil Wears Prada (a joke, but she was a bit terrifying in that film).
Commendably, the film also manages to make the stakes seem higher than they usually do in Hollywood films. By the end I actually thought (even hoped – more on that later) that each character was going to die, and that maybe, just maybe, they were not going to make it. This is of course a Hollywood film – that doesn't happen. But it is impressive that I believed that it was just about possible. One major reason for this was the mimics, which were actually a scary enemy for once, given their time-travelling ability and crazy killing skills. Also, there is a sense of the characters' morality, especially after Cage loses his resetting ability. For the whole film Cruise is not really able to die; after that's gone, the film manages to feel a bit more claustrophobic and you start wondering just how good Cage really is (and Rita for that matter) – can they actually pull this off? (As an aside, I loved how they filmed the whole sequence where Cruise was underwater, especially the long shot that showed him, the Omega and the Alpha. I was able to appreciate how beautiful it was even as I was waiting for him to die.)
The ending did irritate me. For once I thought Hollywood was going to do it, let all the main characters die. Or, when they reset, I thought that the mimics wouldn't have been defeated and they would have to get started all over again on trying to defeat them, maybe in a sequel, or, better still, maybe never to be seen on screen, leaving the fate of Earth ambiguous. Yes, these endings would have been depressing, but they would have also made a nice change to 'everyone lives, enemy defeated'. Like the Marvel films, no one at all dies, and it's one of the things that really irritates me about the series. The death of main characters can strike you to the core, and can leave a film truly memorable (or book – for example the Harry Potter series). This instance is not nearly as irritating as Marvel because it's a one-off and not a series, but even still. I know it's a Hollywood blockbuster, I know it's not meant to be heavy entertainment, but it is essentially a war film, not Back to the Future. Imagine Star Wars without the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi; it just wouldn't have the same emotional punch. I think that if the ending has been a bit more horrifying then I would be rushing to watch this film again. As it is, I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it, but it's not a classic blockbuster. That's a shame, because it has so much potential.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.--Martin Luther King.
Once one assumes an attitude of intolerance, there is no knowing where it will take one. Intolerance, someone has said, is violence to the intellect and hatred is violence to the heart.
--Mohandas Gandhi
There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace.

someone commits a hate crime.
Every day
at least eight black people, three white people, three gay people, three Jewish people and one Latino person become hate crime victims.
Every week
a cross is burned.

Showcase your rental equipment and tools on the web with the Online Rental Store. The layout is completely configurable; set up photo banners to illustrate what you do or customize what information to show. You can even use your own URL to better advertise your business. Your customers can book orders and pay for them online using their Credit Card.
Invoice designs vary from business to business. Moreover,you may need different designs for particular files, departments or customers.The Invoice Designer enables you to create as many invoice templates as you like.
You can track equipment as individual pieces or track them in bulk stocks. For example, you may want to track your Forklift Trucks individually (Truck 1, 2 and 3) but for chairs you might want to track only a bulk quantity (30 chairs). EZRentOut does both. You're not going to find such robust equipment management in any other rental software.
It's important to measure how your staff is doing so that they can improve based on these numbers. We calculate how much revenue an individual staff brought in or how many orders they closed. You can also run these analytics for different time durations to compare performances and identify trends.
Order tracking is a core feature of EZRentOut. Every order's state is tracked as it gets drafted, booked, rented out, returned etc.. The dashboard calendar helps you visualize when an order is due back or has a booking. The design helps optimize operations by supporting quick editing. The immediate feedback on what's available helps you draft the perfect order.
The availability calendar visualizes necessary information so you can make quick decisions, while confirming bookings,renting out or making procurement decisions. At a single glance you can see which items are available and in what quantities. The calendar also supports searching for items and ability to take quick actions on them.
QuickBooks is one of the most popular and top rated accounting software. If you're using QuickBooks, EZRentOut can be seamlessly integrated with it. All the equipment rental transactions appear in QuickBooks where the invoices are synced and payment are tracked.
Imagine the ease of ordering online as well as paying right there. Your customers can pay online for rental orders, using their credit card. We support Stripe and Authroirze.net as payment gateways. All the transactions are recorded in EZRentOut as well as on your Stripe or Authorize.net account (depending on which one you're using).
EZRentOut app is available for android devices, iPhones and iPads in addition to being accessible from any mobile device with a browser. This means that you can take EZRentOut wherever you want, whenever you want. All the changes are automatically synced across all your devices so that you always have the most recent picture. Barcode and QR Code scanning is baked right in, saving you cost and rigidity of specialized scanning devices
When you're dealing with a relatively large pile of orders, bookings are inevitable. You'd want to reserve items to make sure they're available for a customer when needed. EZRentOut helps you pen down conflict free reservations so that you have the order complete when you need to rent it out. EZRentOut helps you with the upcoming bookings through email alerts and adding the order on a calendar.
Upload existing information via excel files directly into EZRentOut. The import tool features a dynamic mapping wizard that makes importing data a breeze. Custom fields are also supported during import. The import tool supports Assets, Inventory, Users, Customers, Locations, Groups, and Vendors. Similarly, all your EZRentOut data can be exported to excel.
Create professional looking labels of different sizes, styles and formats using the label designer. Asset details and other relevant information can be placed on the labels. Both Barcodes and QR Codes are supported in the designer.
This yet another feature to help you get every order right. When renting out Order Verification can serve as a checklist to ensure that all items are physically present. Similarly when returning an order, it comes in handy to warrant that all items are physically returned and none are lost.
Making it convenient for your customers to pay invoices online ensures quick turnaround and improved cash flow. Other than the online credit card payments, your customers can use PayPal - the largest online payment provider.
Xero is another top rated accounting software particularly popular with small businesses. You can seamlessly integrate with Xero. This integration pushes all the rental transactions to Xero for advanced accounting and bookkeeping.
You can generate an invoice against an order at any point in time. The invoice design is customizable so that you can set up invoices as you like. Your customers can also see these invoices when they log into their EZRentOut customer portal. You can also send the invoice to a customer directly from the order details.
Bundles are perfect to package items together that are usually rented out together. These can also be a popular combination that people rent out. For example, a pair of skis, boots, head gear and 2 poles. You can also add a promotional discount to bundles.
Analytics help you shape better decisions and strategize effectively. Get insights into customers preferences and equipment usage, and predict future trends. With a handful of filters, you can easily make sense of large amounts of data. Growth graphs are also part of the package to show how you're performing.
Your customers can use a portal to view their orders and also see a list of items as per your company settings. They can also pay online for their orders using a Credit Card. Customer Portal has also been integrated with the Webstore to allow customers to place orders and browse through your rental equipment catalog.
EZRentOut comes with a full fledged rules engine. Define rules for seasonal pricing, equipment group, customer category etc for price adjustments. A rule automatically kicks in for an order when the right conditions are met.
Promotional codes and coupons can be used in order. You can manually add a coupon by simply typing in the unique coupon code. Or set up a rule that automatically applies the coupon where applicable. Apart from discount coupons, 'extra charge' coupons are also supported to handle penalties.
Other than GPS coordinates on scans, manage meta locations of assets and inventory items using the locations feature. Link items to their office, warehouse or field locations and track their flow. You can also visualize your equipment across different location on an interactive map.
Classify your assets and inventories in groups and subgroups for clarity and ease of use. You can also define custom fields based on groups. Groups prove useful across the application; reports, filters on items tables, availability calendar and advanced options to add items to an order.
Manage vendors for procurement and servicing through reports and insights on value provided to your organization. Vendors who provide maintenance services can also be tracked for all their maintenance work, durations and costs.
Define what you want to see and how you want to see it. You can use data grid view for detailed listing and thumbnail view for visuals. You can also specify data points that need to be listed in these views.
Never miss taking an action that pertains to important business events. Specify actions that generate emails to manage alerts. You can also switch to daily alerts digest if the emails become too frequent.
Would you rather use your company's name in the QR Code URLs and the website where employees and customers go to? The Company URL feature allows for you to use any subdomain of your company as a URL for your EZRentOut account as well as the Online Rental Store.
Each scan of an item's label (barcode or QR Code) is tracked with details including geo-location, IP address and other useful information. An interactive map in the Scan Report shows geo-location of asset scans, allowing for quick identification including those misplaced or lost.
We understand your business is unique and so is the need for tracking orders, customers, assets and inventory. To make EZRentOut adapt to your needs, we offer custom fields for orders, customers and items that include text, numeric, date, multi-select and email alert types.
Timely maintenance saves time & money and increases operational efficiency of an organization. The Service Module allows for tracking unavailability of an asset and maintenance costs over its lifetime. Well-maintained equipment helps retain the customers' confidence and maximizes your ROI.
EZRentOut comes with an extensive asset tracking module. The complete life cycle of every asset is logged. With EZRentOut, you are always up-to-date as to when an asset was added, where has it been and how has it been used. Maximize ROI by efficiently tracking and managing each equipment item.
You can dive in deep or zoom out depending on your data visualization needs. The compact view on items combines similar items together so that you can see the available counts at a glance. The order details can also be summarized with a single click.
All images and documents in an account are part of a central Document Library. You can upload images and documents in bulk here, and then associate them to an item, order or customer. If you're handling a few hundred images and documents, having them at a central location in an organized way is a great help.
Taxes can be a hassle if you've not been keeping your books regularly. EZRentOut records the taxes with every order. Tax settings are flexible; choose tax names, rates and how they apply to an invoice. You can have as many different tax rates and types as you like. EZRentOut also supports tax free order line items.
EZRentOut also supports full management of items that you sell. Track inventory stocks by location with alerts for low stock. Get insights into stock consumption and replenishments. You can rent and sell items in a single order.
If you require snapshots of your data in EZRentOut to be available in your private cloud, perhaps for offline usage, then this is the feature for you. We currently support Dropbox and can add others based on the number of requests we receive. The data is exported in CSV format in regular intervals.
Keep track of how your orders, customers, assets and inventory evolve. Know which stock has a high turnover and which asset got under utilized. Have a detailed history trail of checkin/out, order life cycle, stock change, services, custom fields and more.
Integrate EZRentOut with other systems using our REST based APIs. It comes in handy when you're for more flexible custom integrations. For extended API service, including callbacks, we require a Plus or Premium package.
Keep a record of all your customers at a single place, using EZRentOut. Walk in customers can be added on the fly and you can choose to record as much information as you require. The best part is that you can interact with the customers from within your EZRentOut account, which saves the hassle of tiresome coordination.
If our extensive array of reports is not sufficient for your needs, you can create a report that meets your needs using the Custom Report tool. We're also open to adding new reports based on common needs of our customers.
You can add your notes and comments with orders, customers and items. It's a great way to keep a log of what's happening and coordination with in team. These comments can also be entered when you take actions e.g. running a maintenance, receiving payments and charging damages etc.
Tired of memorizing usernames and passwords. You don't have to. Sign into EZRentOut using your Google or Outlook.com credentials. You can also choose to have a separate EZRentOut login ID and credentials. You can choose which login option you'd like to have for your staff and customers.
Files can be uploaded to orders, customers, assets and inventory. These can be PDFs, word documents, excel sheets or any other file that you need to associate with a record. Your rental contracts, lease agreements, user manual of an equipment etc. can be accessed with ease when needed.
EZRentOut tracks all payments and credit card transactions with complete history. There can be multiple payments against a single order and all of them are logged in detail. Filters and order listing make it easy for you to sift through the orders for which payments are pending.
Having the right items available at the right time for an order is crucial when you're running a rental business. We make sure that you're putting together an order without any scheduling or availability conflicts.
We record postal address for customers. We also record locations where your equipment is. But we don't stop there. You can add items to an order, based on proximity from a customer. For example, when placing an order for Emily, you can choose to only add items that are within 10 miles distance from her.
EZRentOut gives you numbers on how well your business is doing. You see the worth of orders closed (by days, weeks or month) right on the dashboard. There are specialized reports for you to gauge your performance and compare it overtime.
Sub Renting is an important aspect of a mid-sized rental businesses. The sub renting feature enables you to efficiently manage sub-rented items in orders. This can come in handy when you're borrowing items from partners and renting them to your customers.
Set up recurrences and auto generate invoices as per the desired billing period. Comes in handy in leasing e.g. an RV leased out for 6 weeks with weekly payments. Special views for recurrences enables to track a single order instead of getting bogged down with dozens of invoices.
Need to drop rental equipment off at your stores or warehouses? With the Route Management feature, you can map out order deliveries for quick and efficient drop offs, every time!
Keep track of Purchase Orders alongside your assets. It helps you easily define the types, quantities, and agreed prices for items you need and sell. The Procurement Module ensures that orders are processed quickly by creating linkages between items and vendors. You can now have greater control over your dealings with suppliers - print invoices to send on to vendors, add custom data to them, and watch items be updated as soon as they're read as received on the system!

Your rating system sucks. You really should consider a complete overhaul and realize hintingis the same thing as what it really is. You really should stop treating kids as if they are so dumb. They are very smart. Much smarter than you. They get bigger concepts. They ask questions about those. Questions that aren't so fun to answer when they are so DARN YOUNG. If a movie is PG it darn well better not have neighbors joking about poles in the bedroom, hard ons, and how good the husband is with the ladies. Or have dads commenting on other dad's daughters.
As for you movie makers, shame on you for manipulating the system to make your movie PG in order to gain an audience that should never see your movie.
Thank you so much for ruining what could have been an excellent after-christmas Christmas movie with after-christmas Christmas candy evening, and instead turning it into a run to the movie store (again) for a Chicken Little movie with after-christmas Christmas candy evening which turned out quite enjoyable, no thanks to you.
Now if only I could get the image out of my head of how sick you guys must be that that movie would be suitable for ANY child with a parent along, I could enjoy the rest of my evening reading blogs and discontinue fuming.

My birthday was actually on the 29th April but that was a Wednesday, so we had a party on the Sunday afterwards. I invited 13 friends and their humans - we all met up for a runaround in a field..
This is just a few of my friends and their humans. We were going to play rounders but the grass was a bit too long and we kept losing the balls so we just ran round and played together. Afterwards we all went back to my house for some nibbles and refreshments. Mummy had made a big birthday cake for me and some special doggie treats. There was food and drinks for all the humans too.
We all had great fun and were very well behaved.
My bestest friends, Shelby & Maja, (you can just see them in the middle of the very top photo) gave me a lovely khaki/camouflage jacket.. I won't be able to wear it until the winter, but it's going to be really cosy for those snowy walks! This is my friend Bear who tried it on so I could see what it looked like!
Anyway, I'm struggling a bit with this blogger blog, all the photos keep going to the top of the page and I have to cut and paste the html with mummy's help... so I think I'm going to have to just end with one last photograph of another of my friends, Dusty.. just before he went home with his mum!
I shall try to get back into blogging routine.. and will hopefully get more used to this as we go on.. do leave a comment to let me know that you've found my new spot! Now I've done this then maybe my wordpress blog will fix itself and I'll be able to use that again.. now that would be confusing wouldn't it!
Well, mummy has been reading about blogger and if you would like to see all the party photos then if you click this next photo it will take you to my party album!!
Edit: Well actually it won't... it goes to Picasaweb and we haven't used Picasa for a very long time, but you never know, we might get it moved... so watch this space!

Choire Sicha of The Awl has stumbled upon what has to be the most expensive tee in the world: The Hermes Crocodile T-Shirt. Shockingly priced at a whopping $91,500, it goes for three or four times the cost of a decent car, as observed by Sicha. Granted it is made out of authentic crocodile skin, which will of course have PETA readying for yet another battle in the name of animal cruelty.
Selling in the luxury brand's boutiques around the world, the Hermes Crocodile T-Shirt is simple and edgy. Perfect for celebrities looking to make a statement, the tee might be a little heavy and hot for the summer season, but that's why only those who can hire a professional fanner deserves it.

Hausbar Farms
|Gordito, a sweet bundle of a baby bunny who has a snug shady place to call home at Hausbar Farms.
The interconnectedness of living things is joyfully evident at Hausbar Farms, a 2-acre establishment in East Austin where farmer/owner Dorsey Barger lovingly tends to a bounty of plants and animals all the while looking to nature for cues on how to improve common agricultural practices. Dorsey is the first farmer who I have met in Austin implementing principles laid out in One Straw Revolution, a memoir by Masanobu Fukuoka, Japanese farmer and philosopher celebrated for developing natural farming techniques that "eliminate the need for pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort."
|My colleague, Lani, a chef and farmer from the west coast, saw okra growing for the first time on this trip to Austin!
|Okra is native to Africa and thrives in our Central Texas summer heat. Hausbar's okra looked as healthy as can be and measured in at least a foot taller than me!
|David harvesting mint and fennel flowers at Hausbar to garnish a citrus cantaloupe soup to cool us down after spending an hour in the heat - superb.
|Hausbar does the majority of their business with local restaurants. You can find this rare North African green on the menu at Kome. It's definitely tough to grow greens in Central Texas' summer heat, but these do quite well because they contain an aloe-like gel that keeps them cool. Unlike some other other hearty greens like mustard and dandelion greens which can be bitter, these were pleasantly mild. We simply sauteed them with a bit of garlic to make a nourishing side dish. Next time we'll have to have them with some of Chef Rosa's gluten-free injera!
Thank you again, Dorsey, for bringing such a beautiful vision to life and sharing it with us!


text: Happy Holidays!! Cheer-ios!! hey all, my question again involves google serps for checking my competition, I've placed much thought into; Do I use no quotes, or do I use "quotes" or do a I use Allintitle or "allintitle with quotes" (primarily at this point I'll be doing article marketing in directories, and I'm trying to rank "those articles") then I thought to myself "the most important thing I need to know is how a surfer will most likely conduct his search? RIGHT? or NO? I mean doesn't it all come down to whether the surfer places "quotes" around his search or not? and shouldn't I be basing my efforts on the top 10 for each way, "with" and "without quotes"? to understand or capture both groups? or even one "properly" (in parity)and (if I may ask) why the need to search for "allintitle" when the surfer isn't going to look in the serps for "allintitle" results anyway? and shouldn't I match in parity? SERPs VS. google KEYWORD TOOL ? so if I conduct my serps check using "quotes" I would want to do the same in the KWT? and conversely if I do my serps using "no quotes" then should my KWT search be the same? in other words "match up" the tool type search "quotes" against the same type of serps "quotes" YES? logic? or NO? I've heard that "allintitle" carries more weight, but wouldn't that only make a difference if your "top 10 serps" have the keywords in their titles specifically? your friend Hali~!

How to Get to Sleep, Stay Asleep, and Sleep Better
It's a vicious cycle: Studies link sleep problems to a host of cardiovascular risks and conditions, while heart disease -- in particular heart failure -- often interrupts sleep.
"People come to the doctor and forget to talk about their sleep," says Dana Supe, M.D., a pulmonologist and director of the sleep diagnostics lab at Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, New Jersey. "Some don't even realize there is a problem, they've become so accustomed to sleeping poorly."
Nancy Foldvary-Schaefer, D.O. and director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Cleveland Clinic, says that insufficient and disrupted sleep -- especially from sleep apnea, when breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep -- strains the heart over time and has been linked to:
-- heart failure
-- arrhythmias
-- high blood pressure
-- atherosclerosis
-- heart attack
-- stroke
-- pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries to the lungs)
Conversely, heart failure, angina (chest pain), and atrial fibrillation or palpitations (the sensation of a racing or pounding heart) can disturb sleep.
Sleep problems also can lead to changes in metabolism that boost the odds of developing obesity and diabetes, two major risk factors for heart disease.
But there is good news: Treating sleep problems may improve heart health, and vice versa.
Get to Sleep Faster
Add one or all of these relaxing behaviors to your wind-down routine to help you fall asleep with ease.
-- Keep a worry journal. Before heading to bed, "write down all your worries," says sleep specialist Dana Supe, M.D. "Keep the journal in the kitchen or living room. Leave worries out of the bedroom -- literally."
-- Set your alarm clock to tell you when to go to bed. "I suggest to my patients that they set their alarm for 45 minutes to one hour before they should be asleep," says Michael J. Breus, Ph.D., diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine. This allows you to have a set bedtime routine.
-- Turn off your phone. When it's turned off, the backlight won't bother you, and neither will your friends.
-- Avoid late-night caffeine. If you're going to drink caffeine, it's best to taper off during the course of the day. "Drink the highest caffeinated beverages in the early parts of the day and then move to less caffeinated or decaf beverages by about 1 p.m.," Breus says.
-- Only use your bed for sleep and sex. "You don't want to get the brain used to using the bed for other things because then the brain will think that it's acceptable to do other things during sleep time," says Nancy Foldvary-Schaefer, D.O., of Cleveland Clinic. "And they will be setting themselves up for a long-standing insomnia problem."
-- Wear socks. The extra layer can help improve circulation throughout your legs, which can help you fall asleep faster.
-- Take a warm bath. Your temperature naturally drops at night, so when you soak in a warm tub, your temperature rises. It's the rapid cool-down afterward that relaxes you.
Stay Asleep All Night
Stay asleep longer and have a better quality of sleep by doing the following:
-- Get up. Nancy Foldvary-Schaefer, D.O. of the Cleveland Clinic suggests that if you go to bed and lie awake for more than 20 minutes, get up. Do something relatively mundane, and when you feel sleepy, try to go to bed again. Repeat this cycle until you fall asleep. You might not get the amount of sleep you were wanting, but you'll get a better quality of sleep.
-- Keep a regular exercise program. "The data is quite clear that regular exercise not only helps people fall asleep easier, but also keeps them in deeper sleep," Micheal J. Breus, Ph.D., says.
-- Kick furry friends out of bed. Pets are notorious for interrupting sleep. When they're on the bed, they take up the room you need and paw at you when they want you to wake up.
-- Avoid alcohol before bed. "Alcohol is the most commonly used sedative-hypnotic, but while it allows you to crash faster, it causes markedly disrupted sleep as it is metabolized," Foldvary-Schaefer says.
-- Keep your bedroom cool. Your body needs to drop two degrees to go from the first stage of sleep (getting ready to sleep) to the fifth stage of sleep (the REM cycle), says Alan Letton, chief science officer for Sealy mattress company. "Ensure that your mattress and pillow work with your body to do so, not make you warmer."
Find the Right Mattress for You
Another big part of getting to sleep -- and staying asleep for a healthy amount of time -- is finding the right mattress and pillow to support you throughout the night.
The Right Mattress
With help from Alan Letton, chief science officer of Sealy, we've picked out what you should look for in the perfect mattress.
Side Sleepers: Choose a bed that will allow you to conform to your spine's neutral position -- the fetal position with your hips slightly tilted forward -- without "sagging" into the bed. Get enough cushion that you won't have space underneath you from your shoulder to your hips.
Back Sleepers: Go for a bed that will conform to the small of your back but gives you the right support so the small of the back doesn't cave in. One way to test that is to lie on your back and have a friend try to put his or her hand under the small of your back. If they can, the mattress is not giving you the support you need.
Stomach Sleepers: When lying in a bed best for you, there should be a slight curvature of the back at the shoulder blades.
Letton says that the more time you spend testing your new mattress at the store, the better. Lie down for five minutes in your normal sleep position to test the pressure relief and support to combat tossing and turning. He also suggests rolling to your side and lying there for five minutes. (Many of us are unknowing side sleepers. We move to that position because it's the most neutral and comfortable position.)
Find the Right Pillow for You
Beth Mack, CMO of Hollander Home Fashions, the largest pillow manufacturer in the U.S., shares tips on what to look for when you're buying your next pillow.
Side sleepers: Choose a firmer pillow with higher elevation; aim to fill the space between ear and shoulder, so your head and neck are aligned.
Stomach sleepers: Go for a soft pillow with little elevation.
Back sleepers: You need a moderately firm pillow that will support your neck and the natural curvature in your spine.
When should you get a new pillow?
Pillows should be replaced every one to two years. A pillow past its prime could contain a high level of dust mites, which can increase breathing disorders, asthma, or allergies.
Symptoms of a bad pillow: Pillows that have reached the end of the road will often feel lumpy or flat and won't re-fluff very well.
What to Do If You're Still Restless
If changes in your bedtime routine aren't enough, it's time to ask your doctor for help with health issues that can interfere with sleep:
Depression: Depression can lead to problems with sleeping too little or waking too often during the night. Such sleep problems, in turn, can contribute to a depressed mood and low energy during the day.
Obesity: Being overweight is a strong risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea, in which the airway collapses or is blocked during sleep, leading to shallow breathing or pauses in breathing.
Cigarette addiction: Nicotine is a stimulant, so smoking close to bedtime can make it harder to fall asleep. Smokers also may have more nightmares. Giving up cigarettes can increase sleep problems at first, but in the long run, it's good for your sleep and your health.
Signs of a Sleep Disorder
If you're still having trouble sleeping, it may mean you have a sleep disorder. Here are some signals to watch for:
High blood pressure
Check your blood pressure at home and tell your doctor if it's higher before you get out of bed in the morning than when you're at rest during the day.
Irregular sleep patterns
Track your sleep patterns by keeping a sleep diary for two weeks and recording how long it takes to fall asleep, how often you wake up, the total number of sleeping hours, and how awake you feel the next day.
Tell your doctor if you know you snore loudly and frequently.


text: Hey everyone, I am sure you remember me. I stated back in May that I could not wait until school was over because then I could focus on Blackhat World. Well now, I am down to Earth about it but very confused. I have researched and hesitated to ask these questions (they seem noobish) but I need a little help if you all do not mind. I have researched and made a little cash here and there but: 1) Is blanking the ref better or faking it? I personally do think faking it is better but then there are times when someone tells me to blank it is better. Also, about faking the ref, is this the only to do it? http://www.contentgeneration.org/how-to-fake-a-browser-referrer-for-blackhat-cpa/ 2) What do they see on the other side? In other words, what do they have to see in order to pay you? 3) What makes them raise the red flag? I was getting leads for auto insurance and the manager banned me in a few days. I was taking coaching at this time and I do remember the coach never mentioned thing about faking the ref and he never mentioned anything about CTR or conversion being too high. Looking back, I think that is it now. But what does raise the red flag? 4) Any other tips or comments you may have. Thank you so so so much.

Hey guys, I keep forgetting to announce this:
I lamely printed labels this year for our Christmas cards and to do that I use my mac address book. The problem with this is, that if you are married, but have a different cell phone or email address than your spouse, then I have to have 2 address cards for you in my contacts ( one for wife, one for hubby) and so when I print labels, I have to choose one of you so that I don't send you 2 cards.. This means my Christmas cards are likely addresses to one person, the wife . I thought it was just more simple that way and I did not want any wifeys getting bent out of shape if we sent cards to her husband.
SO please do not be offended at the way I have addressed the Christmas cards. It was nothing more than my being lazy and busy.
If any of you guys know a better way to make labels on the computer ( mac) holla

Welcome to the Waldfest
Welcome to the Waldfest
If the key word 'Bavaria' makes you think of Oktoberfest, lederhosen, massive steins and roast pork ... then you've almost got it – but not quite. Beer festival clichés by their nature are overdrawn and magnify what seems exotic, when in truth a highly authentic and multifaceted tradition of outdoor festivals lies at the heart of the phenomenon. Forest festivals have been a stomping ground for young and old, a trysting place and summer highlight for hundreds of years, reaching back to pre-Christian rites. Today, they present the best of ancient customs including May poles, traditional dress, show booths and delicatessen from grilled fish to giant pretzels in a way that speaks to all generations, to families, couples, teenagers, after work party goers and senior citizens. They are a piece of old Bavaria and a hip 'see and be seen' hang-out all at once.
Much smaller and far more intimate than the Munich Oktoberfest, each of the forest festivals has its own special character – and the best thing: they take place all summer long.
The dirndl factor
The one asset that has helped traditional Bavarian costume to survive in modern times is its openness to change and to all its fans. Many ancient regional customs have been handed down and kept active, such as alpenhorn music or the feast days of various saints (don't be surprised to find the shops closed on 'Kirta', the day when Catholic chapels receive their blessing). And even if dirndl and lederhosen are not worn by all Bavarians, you will spot them on a daily basis in the Tegernsee Valley, where they are loved as homely, practical and beautiful clothing for all sorts of occasions.
They are a definite fixture at the forest festivals around the lake. And you will find the locals very helpful when picking out just the right knee-length leather pants or Tegernsee dirndl and apron for you – or when showing you which way to tie its knot to reflect your marital status! On the festival grounds, the colourful skirts twirl in rhythm with the brass band, whilst the lads demonstrate an original 'Schuplattler' dance involving much slapping of shoe soles and buttocks. You will join the locals at long wooden tables laden with hearty snacks and one litre steins of freshly brewed festival beer, figure out when to say 'du' and, weather permitting, watch the moon come up over Mount Wallberg at the end of an unforgettable day.
Never to early for a weissbier
One Bavarian tradition that holiday makers from all over the world cherish is the so-called 'Frühschoppen'. In the shade of chestnuts and beeches, its advocates will start the day with a breakfast of savoury white sausages with sweet mustard, pretzels – and a nice tall glass of weissbier. The hot midday hours should best be spent cooling down in one of the lake lidos or aboard a boat, before returning to roast chicken, potato and cucumber salad and more beer at one of the magical lake festivals.
Could there be any better way of spending a sunny Sunday in Bavaria?

Selena Gomez performing at People's Choice Awards
HollywoodNews.com: Selena Gomez and The Scene will reportedly be performing at the 2011 People's Choice Awards that will take place on this Wednesday.
Not only will Gomez and her band be performing, but they are nominated for Favorite Breakout Artist, states Just Jared. But in order to win, they will have to beat out other top stars like B.o.B, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and Ke$ha.
It'll be a pretty tight competition especially since she's going up against her rumored love interest, Bieber, but at least she'll get a performance out of the show.
Do you think Selena Gomez and The Scene will win?

LIVE FILE burning mystery
Hi guys
I've been burning files with the LIVE FILE system, the files do copy and I'm able to close session "properly" to eject the disc.
When I put BACK the dvd/cd, I can see that files have been written because a few GB of used space are shown (2.33gb free of 4.38gb).
HOWEVER, when I click on the folder, all my files are gone!
All I have is a "hidden" notepad file, "DESKTOP" and everything else is gone and i've noticed that the disc/drive makes a really slow noise, not the super fast spin it usually makes when the drive is reading.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi and Welsome to the Forum.
Sounds like our DVD/CD drive is dying! Can you play a music CD in it. Use an old one that you don't mind loosing just in case!
If you completed your System Specs we might be able to help you more!

Thank you :) I've added system specs.
The drive does play all types of DVDs/CDs, and seems to burn 1-time sessions perfectly.
Still wondering why the Live File discs randomly 'eat up' all my files... can I still locate them in a hidden disc location? It does show there's data written on it - but nowhere to be found :/

Well I don't use the Live File System but I am sure you will be familiar with this!
From what little I know of this subject, it looks as if you might be as well to try a different make disc. Different manufacturers use different dyes to coat the discs, some work, some don't so this might be an easy answer. As you have a Samsung writer can you try a Samsung disc?
