Couldn't they at least take Oklahoma, too?
Unfortunately, from Mexico's perspective, Absolut was sort of inadvertently promising that buying their liquor would help Mexico take back the United States.
What the Hell Were They Thinking?
What Absolut wasn't really considering was that there are some Mexican-American and Hispanic-American extremists who actually think that Mexico should reclaim parts of the United States, so a campaign like this is kind of the equivalent of a Budweiser commercial that jokes about reparations for slavery. And it probably didn't help that the ad aired right as the United States was beefing up its border security to combat illegal immigration, raising tensions among both sides to the point where they were preparing to dust off the Alamo.
Because that went so well the first time.
Of course, Absolut promptly apologized in the classiest way possible: with a recorded message on their consumer inquiry phone line, saying "We recognize that people in different parts of the world may lend different perspectives or interpret our ads in a different way than was intended in that market, and for that we apologize." So basically, if you were offended, it's your fault for misunderstanding Absolut's marketing team's intentions, and not Absolut's marketing team's fault for sucking at American history.

We took a traditional Thanksgiving side dish – creamed spinach – and changed things up a bit. Instead of spinach, our version uses kale to add even more the flavor and nutrients. We also followed Whole Foods Market's vegan creamed spinach recipe to keep things vegan-friendly without jeopardizing the creamy goodness the traditional version is known for.
• 12 cups fresh kale (we used a mix of curly and dino)
• 1 cup plain gluten-free soymilk or almond milk, unsweetened
• 2 teaspoons orange zest, finely grated
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
• 2 teaspoons vegan margarine or coconut oil
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, minced
• pinch of nutmeg
• Sea salt, to taste
Remove kale leaves from stems and steam with a few tablespoons of water until just wilted. Squeeze out excess water and coarsely chop.
Place soymilk, orange zest and lemon zest in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by half.
Heat margarine over medium heat in sauté pan and add onion. Cook until onion is translucent. Add kale and cook until most of liquid has evaporated.
Add reduced soymilk to kale and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of nutmeg and sea salt to taste.

Nation Entry for one of our 4-month programs (Latin America, Europe & Africa, or Asia Pacific) is designed to get people the resources they need to join a Remote Year program before they've found the perfect itinerary. If the idea of joining a traveling community of like-valued professionals for a 4-month long international adventure excites you, but we haven't released an itinerary that works for your preferences or timeline, then this payment plan is for you.
In order to take advantage of this payment plan, you'll first have to understand the regular cost of the program and then how the plan fits in and then we'll break down your options through Nation entry.
ℹRead: About Nation Entry
The down payment is paid when you officially sign up for a Remote Year program to secure your spot. When you make this first payment, it shows us your serious commitment to a program and affords us the confidence to begin booking all of your arrangements on your behalf.
The monthly payment is a fee paid at the beginning of every month as you land at each stop on your itinerary. The fee covers everything included in that city and can be thought of as "paying rent" except instead of just covering for your accommodations, you're also getting flights, workspace, events and programming, a community, on-site support, and much much more.
With the Nation Entry payment plan, you simply make an early commitment to Remote Year to get access to our Resources and guarantee a spot on one of our future programs before they've even been released to the public. Here are your options:
If you opt to pay for the full down payment now, you will receive a $250 discount and $3,250 will be charged at the time of purchase.
If you opt to pay your down payment via payment plan, $1,000 will be charged at the time of purchase and the remaining will be collected in two $1,250 installments: (i) the first on the date you select your program and your spot is confirmed, (ii) and the second on the last day of the next month. In any case, payment plans must be fully paid 60 days before your program launch. If you have a remaining balance on your payment plan at the "60 days out" mark, it will automatically become due and be collected.
*Remaining program costs are to be billed in $2,000-$2,250 monthly installments in months 1-4
If you're interested in prepaying for the full program cost for an additional discount, please speak with a program consultant.

Q. How do I reinstall Apple's GarageBand, or parts of it?
[Related Entries : Delete All Traces Of GB , Delete GB , Delete GB Projects , Installer Disabled , Loop Content Locations , Misc Probs ]
A. You need to re-install GB from its install DVD, it should be on one of the discs that came with the computer, likely labeled: Software Restore, or Additional Software, or some such, if not an iLife disc itself. It may also simply be an installer on one of the restore discs called "Bundled Software", "Additional Software" or something similar. If you wish to only install Garageband and/or its ancillary files, use the Customize button when it appears to allow selective installation of the software you want.
If it was purchased through Apple's Mac App Store, you'll need to redownload it from there (you will not be charged a second time)
Was this information helpful? Yes / No
GarageBand from Apple Computer uses audio loops and MIDI loops in Apple Loops format. It can work with Audio Units plug-ins. Apple Macintosh Compatible FireWire and USB interfaces can be used to connect Audio and MIDI instruments to your Mac, and be recorded into GarageBand.

Our focus is on the honey-do list. We take care of all your small jobs so you can get back to enjoying your weekend and, if what you need is something we can't do, we'll refer you to someone more specialized who can help.
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) August 02, 2016
When Jack and Annette Ross opened House Doctors of Charleston, it was because they wanted to own a business that made lives easier for the people in their community. Now, after a year of chasing the dream, the Ross family is proud to announce that they're celebrating their one year business anniversary this August.
House Doctors of Charleston offers professional handyman services in Charleston, James Island, Folly Island, Johns Island, Sullivan's Island, Hanahan, Morris Island, Isle of Palms, Mt. Pleasant and Summerville. The team at House Doctors is focused on professionalism, service excellence and quality workmanship. Their goal is to make home improvements easier for their customers by being on time, doing the job right and offering a one year workmanship guarantee.
"We launched House Doctors of Charleston on August 15, 2015, and it was the fulfillment of a life-long dream. I spent my career in new home building and commercial building management but Annette and I both really wanted to open our own business. Once we decided it was time to pursue that dream, we realized House Doctors was something in our wheelhouse that would make a positive impact on our community," Jack said. "It was really a perfect fit."
Of course the Ross family had the same struggles all new businesses have – but they also had 8 inches of water in their brand new office in Hanahan. Just a month after they opened, the Charleston area received so much rain in one day that it broke the long-standing 1940 record and flooded the business.
"We were just getting started and we had to empty our entire office, get the water out, dry all the furniture and get things back together. It was extremely upsetting to say the least, especially when you're a brand new business, but we came together as a team and got through it. It was a crazy start!" Annette said.
House Doctors' experienced, insured, background checked and uniformed handymen technicians specialize in projects that take two hours to two days to complete, such as light remodeling and repairs of decks, doors, bathrooms and kitchens; repairing drywall; painting; exterior repairs; making home modifications and much more. Jack said the most popular services in the Charleston community over the last year have been door replacements, drywall repair and custom projects like shutter hanging and deck screening.
"Our focus is on the honey-do list. We take care of all your small jobs so you can get back to enjoying your weekend and, if what you need is something we can't do, we'll refer you to someone more specialized who can help," Annette said.
Jack and Annette agreed that House Doctors of Charleston is different because it's a company that's focused on building customer relationships – not just doing one job and getting paid – which means they have to operate on a higher level when it comes to customer service and satisfaction.
"We hold ourselves to the highest standard and we are licensed, bonded and insured. We stand behind our work and are more than happy to share our credentials with anyone because we know there are other companies out there who aren't keeping the clients' best interests in mind. We operate a higher caliber business and we want our integrity, honesty and professionalism to come through in everything we do," Jack said.
House Doctors of Charleston has also become a go-to resource for realtors who are looking to get properties ready to sell and those who have a home inspection repair list that needs done quickly and professionally. In addition to their business anniversary, Jack and Annette, who were high school sweethearts, are getting ready to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.

From Pulp Magazine
By John Tucker
Amplifier Magazine labeled them 'the most distinctive three-piece outfit since Nirvana'; Rolling Stone called their sound 'as badass as highbrow gets'; of course, I refer to Minnesota-born jazz outfit The Bad Plus. Making a name for themselves as the punk-rockers of traditional jazz (Hüsker Brübeck, if you will, although I suspect you won't) by putting jazz spins on rock's standards, their covers of Nirvana's 'Lithium' and Pixies' 'Velouria' are such a refreshing departure that they're liable to make you forget the source material.
Their covers are almost as interesting as their original works, which take the form of beautifully-crafted '" and often dizzyingly complex '" attacks on the senses, that provide an easy way into real, honest-to-goodness jazz for people like me, e.g. people who typically imbibe music in two to three minute servings, and never really stray from the beaten path (and certainly never wander as far away from the path as the Bad Plus do). I was interested to see what kind of people square their sights on the punk-jazz market. I sat down with bassist Reid Anderson and drummer David King prior to their RNCM performance to pick the brains of modern jazz's brightest sparks.
Making conversation with foreign musicians on the streets of Manchester is easy. With the Hacienda, the Ritz Ballroom, and the Factory Records office all within spitting distance (I hadn't the heart to tell them what became of the Hacienda), the walk to the Cornerhouse '" to make use of their cafe as an interview space '" was more of a brief sightseeing tour for the duo, who expressed more than a passing interest in the notorious landmarks.
So where was pianist Ethan Iverson?
'He's practicing,' revealed Dave, as he perched himself on one of the Cornerhouse's miniscule leather pews. 'It seems like he just practices this one piece we recorded two years ago. He still practices it several hours a day. We already recorded it, I don't know what he's trying to do. I think he wants to re-record it at some point.' This probably reveals more about Ethan than an interview would've.
At this juncture, Reid pulled the spoon from his espresso, ceasing the stirring momentarily to impart some worldly wisdom. 'See this spoon? Just half of that with Nutella.'
'Oh yeah?', enquired King. 'That's your new shit?'
'That's my shit,' concluded Reid. Confused, I ask if the quiet bassist had taken to putting Nutella in his coffee. 'No, no. It's a little dessert. Just a little spoon like this, half of that with Nutella, a little bit of olive oil and some sea salt, it's fantastic. You gotta try it.'
'It just seems so small, man.' David interjected, having clearly witnessed '" possibly even tasted '" this bizarre-sounding concoction. 'You need about four or five of 'em.' I had reservations, and questions. Would such a concoction even be sweet any more?
'It's sweet, but the salt and olive oil'¦ they're distinctive flavours, but they go together quite well, I must say. Give it a shot.' He returns to his espresso, before a thought strikes him.
'You can always have another spoon if you want.'

I have following proxy endpoint properties set

<Property name="allow.http.method.PATCH">false</Property>
But no luck, its allowing all methods. I see in trace session that these properties are there, so it is deployed.
Thanks, Sanjay
Dear @skammili , Welcome to Apigee Community :) Thank you for highlighting same. I can able to reproduce same, clearly it looks like a bug. We will get back to you and keep you updated.
Answer by Omid Tahouri · Jan 26, 2016 at 10:52 PM
I've not had the time to verify the behaviour of setting those properties, but there may be an alternative solution for what you're trying to achieve...
What about raising a fault based on the request method? You could do this as the first step.
<PreFlow name="PreFlow"> <Request> <Step> <Condition>request.verb != "GET"</Condition> <Name>fault-method-not-allowed</Name> </Step> ...
Where "method-not-allowed-fault" is a RaiseFault policy that could look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <RaiseFault enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false" name="fault-method-not-allowed"> <DisplayName>fault-method-not-allowed</DisplayName> <FaultResponse> <Set> <StatusCode>405</StatusCode> <Headers> <Header name="Allow">GET</Header> </Headers> </Set> </FaultResponse> <IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>true</IgnoreUnresolvedVariables> </RaiseFault>
Answer by email@example.com · Jan 27, 2016 at 12:00 PM
HTTP properties "allow.http.method.<VERB>" is not supported in the recent releases. We have to handle through "RaiseFault" policy in the message flow, as suggested by Omid.
@docs , We need to update documentation & remove the references. Thank you :)
Removed from the docs. Thanks for the info.

Irrigation season has wrapped up. Now is a good time to evaluate you center pivot to make sure it is ready for winter and for another growing season. Here is a quick list of things to look at before winter sets in.
- Flushing the system
- If you have water quality issues or if your well is pumping some sand
- Clean out the sand trap
- Drain water from all pipe above ground
- Panel boxes
- Check for loose or damaged connections
- Seal up openings to avoid rodent damage
- Structure
- Check sprinkler chart for proper sprinkler placement
- Check for worn or broken components, sprinklers and regulators
- Replace every 7,000 to 10,000 hours
- Check boots, gaskets and mid-drains for leaks
- Drive train
- Drain water from gearboxes and top off with the proper lubricant
- Check knuckles for wear, and make sure shields are in place
- Check tire pressure
- Pivot tracks
- Fill tracks in the fall so they can firm up over the winter
- Fill tracks in the fall so they can firm up over the winter
- Park pivot
- Position system parallel to prevailing winds
- Park on a level surface, not in an old track, so the system can expand and contract with the freezing temperatures
- Lock out and secure system
- We don't want the system to be turned on during the off-season without the grower's knowledge. Ice buildup could take the system down.
- We don't want the system to be turned on during the off-season without the grower's knowledge. Ice buildup could take the system down.
- Clean up vegetation
- Around pivot point and well
- Make the space less inviting to rodents
- Chemigation pumps
- Drain and clean pump and hoses
- Drain and clean pump and hoses
- Protect from cattle
- If grazing cattle on stalks, protect the system and pumping plant from cattle
It is a good idea to make notes of problems that you encountered during the growing season while they are fresh in your mind!

Drucker's Most Incredible Idea
Drucker was fond of pointing out that the greatest advances in management came from taking ideas from a completely different field and applying them to the manager's own. Ordinary managers simply took ideas developed in their own functional areas or industries and tried to make them better. This led to rather ordinary and very modest gains. Drucker said that the really big advances with the potential to take you far head of your competitors, both within and outside of your organization, came from applying ideas from completely different functional areas, industries, or subjects beyond your ordinary day-to-familiarity.
If Leadership is Marketing, then Marketing is Leadership
A couple of years ago, I wrote a piece for my HRIQ column on one of Drucker's little known concepts: the idea that good leadership is essentially marketing. He had called leadership a "marketing job." This idea was based on Drucker's view that all knowledge workers are partners in an organization. As partners, they could not be simply ordered around or managed. They had to be led – and this integrated persuasion with strategic thinking, segmentation, and many other elements of marketing. So the practice of leadership, Drucker concluded, was marketing. This conclusion can have far-reaching consequences for the practice of both business disciplines. Because if leadership is marketing, then marketing is also leadership. If you are a "Drucker thinker," it can have far reaching implications for any job, because you can adapt the basics to whatever you do.
To confirm this idea about marketing being leadership, I turned to results from research I conducted almost twenty-five years ago in which I found eight universal principles which were the basis of all successful leadership. These eight universal laws were:
1. Maintain Absolute Integrity
2. Know Your Stuff
5. Expect Positive Results
6. Take Care of Your People
7. Put Duty Before Self
8. Get Out in Front
What if these eight principles were viewed not in leadership, but in marketing terms? What if these terms were applicable to all facets of management?
The First Principle of Marketing: Maintain Absolute Integrity
Today, Arby's is a highly successful fast food restaurant chain, with over 3,600 restaurants worldwide. Leonard Roberts became CEO at a time when the business was doing very poorly. He turned the corporation around when sales had been falling 10 to 15 percent a year. He did this by promising help, money and additional support to Arby's franchisees. He delivered, and sales soared. Due to his success, Roberts was appointed to the board of directors at which point Arby's then-owner decided to withdraw the help Roberts gave the franchisees. Even bonuses promised and earned by Roberts' staff would not be paid. Roberts resigned from the board and the owner retaliated by firing Roberts as CEO. In his very next job as CEO, Roberts faced another leadership challenge based on his maintaining his integrity. It again cost him his job. Finally, Roberts became the CEO of Radio Shack, a subsidiary of the Tandy Corporation. A year after that, he was appointed CEO of the entire Tandy Corporation. During the next ten years he was highly successful and he retired with many honors for his accomplishments.
The Second Principle of Marketing: Know Your Stuff
Bill Gates' personal fortune has been estimated at $58 billion dollars and even more. He achieved much of his success while he was still in his twenties. He became a billionaire when he was only 31. His secret was not office politics, but knowledge and expertise. Gates learned how to program computers when he was barely a teenager. In high school, he knew enough to lead others to computerize his school's payroll system. At the same time, he learned business by starting and running a company that sold traffic-counting systems to local governments. He entered Harvard as an acknowledged computer expert, while he had also mastered sales, marketing and management. In his second year he dropped out and eventually founded the Microsoft Corporation. The fact that he was still in his twenties and was not a college graduate was unimportant. What was important was that he knew how to create and run a business to market his creations.
You declare your expectations in a number of ways. One of them is setting your goals. From the tactics of day-to-day management to strategic thinking, this is essential. Goals must be declared by all, from the individual on up to the very top level in an organization. Almost invariably, these compelling visions are the most important component of success. All successful organizations, whether small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, athletic teams, combat units, or even countries must be built on clear and compelling expectations. This vision provides direction for everyone. It guides all action and tells everyone exactly where the organization is going. Properly involved in this vision, members of the organization willingly work toward expectations. But first you need to define them. You can't get "there" until you know where "there" is.
The Fourth Principle of Marketing: Show Uncommon Commitment
Only six months after its founding, the Dell Computer Corporation became the number one retailer on the Internet. Dell sales grew at the rate of 20 percent each month. In one year, revenues exploded 47 percent to $7.8 billion, and profit 91 percent to $518 million. The secret was commitment. Founder and CEO Michael Dell said that speed was essential and Dell would set the pace for the industry, which it did. Do your employees or those you manage show uncommon commitment? Do you?
Supercuts, Inc. was a revolutionary concept when it was introduced. It replaced the old barbershop and beauty shop with low cost, no-nonsense, unisex, hairstyling salons. It was instantly successful and grew rapidly. Its franchises expanded across the country. Unfortunately, at some point the organization began to doubt itself. Success felt no longer certain.
The Sixth Principle of Marketing: Take Care of Your People
"Your People" can be seen as either your employees or your customers. In many cases, the two go together. If you take care of your employees, they tend to pay more attention about taking care of your customers. I recently ate at a restaurant after an absence of more than a year. As the recession hit, food quality declined and customer service declined. The waiters and waitresses became ill-humored. The clueless owner was actually overheard to remark, "If we had more customers, we could afford a better cook and pay for higher quality ingredients and better waitresses." He blamed his customers for his poor marketing results. His lowered compensation, hired cheaper help, and cut service and quality of food. He soon went out of business. New management bought the restaurant. They quickly turned things around. The waiters and waitresses were courteous and friendly. The service was superb, the food excellent, and the prices very reasonable. Taking care of your people is always a major principle of marketing. And yes, it is a major principle in everything we do in working with the human resources which are the heart of any business.
The Seventh Principle of Marketing: Put Duty before Self
This means that others interests comes before your own. Your employees and customers are rarely impressed by your compensation, the expensive car you drive, or other perks of your position.
The Eighth Principle of Marketing: Get Out in Front
I don't where the idea came from that successful marketing is simply about having a great idea and then turning the light switch on to begin marketing it. Successful marketers know that's this is not how it works. If you want any marketing campaign to work, you need to be out in front. There's no such thing as sitting in an air-conditioned office and simply thinking your way to success. You need to be where the action is where you can see and be seen. Good marketers find ways of perpetuating this process and by constantly being out in front.
Beth Pritchard was the chief executive of the nation's leading bath-shop chain, Bath & Body Works. In addition to her corporate duties and responsibilities, she spent two days a month working "in the trenches," in an ordinary Bath & Body Works boutique. She didn't sit around observing or spending her time handing out advice. She worked. She set up displays, stocks shelves, and arranged gift baskets. The power of getting out in front paid off. The cash registers in her stores were full. When she came to Bath & Body Works, it had 95 stores and sales of $20 million. Five years later, the number of stores had increased to a whopping 750, and sales hit $753 million. Maybe this is why she was a success in a number of other top companies.
In conclusion, if you apply the successful principles from a different discipline to your work as Drucker taught, you will have supercharged benefits in whatever you do.

Class of 2013 Parents and Students,
Many of our senior students have recently received news of admission to universities applied to back In the fall. We wanted to remind you of a few things that students must keep in mind or follow up on these next few weeks with universities and also junior colleges.
Admission Decisions: Please keep in mind that it is wonderful when a university recognizes your hard work and offers you admission to their school-enjoy this. We realize that it is also disappointing for students and families when a school does not accept you, but please keep in mind that many factors go into an admission's decision. Don't try to figure out why or why not-instead focus on the universities who have accepted you and focus on making the best decision on where you, the student, would like to study for the next 4-5 years and what school is the "best fit" for YOU!
Statement of Intent to Register: Students accepted to a 4-year university must submit an SIR-(Statement of Intent to Register). Most universities have a May 1, 2013 deadline for submission of the SIR; however, please verify with your chosen school the correct date. If you miss the date for your chosen school you will lose your admission to that school.
Waiting Lists for Universities: These waiting lists are simply a "waiting list". There is absolutely no guarantee your name will be selected from a waiting list and subsequently offered admission. Don't wait around for a waiting list and fail to submit an SIR to a university-submit an SIR. If your name is selected from a waiting list and you prefer that university you may cancel your submitted SIR (there will probably be a loss of $$deposit$$).
Submitting an Appeal: If a student chooses to appeal a rejection from a university, he/she must keep in mind that there should be a "valid reason" for an appeal. If you simply want the university to look at your application again-this is not a "valid reason" for an appeal. The university has spent 3-4 months reviewing applications and they have carefully made their admission decisions. Only appeal if you are informing the university of information that is being added to your application; for example, information or events that have taken place since your initial application submission.
Assessment Exams: Most universities and junior colleges require students to take assessment exams which help place students in the appropriate courses at the university or junior college. In some cases, students may be exempt from these assessment exams. Students should ensure that they take the correct exam in a timely manner. Failure to take these exams will negatively impact registering for your college courses. Check your application account with the school you will be attending.
Check your Emails/Application Accounts: Once a student has decided which school to attend it is now very important to follow up on all requests from the school via email, regular mail etc. These requests could be to take assessment exams, submit housing requests/down payments, schedule orientation dates etc.
Financial Aid/Scholarships: It is very important that students make contact with the financial aid office of the university or junior college he/she will be attending. Please follow up on all requests for financial aid information in a timely manner. Building a good relationship with your financial aid counselor at your future school is always a good idea!
Junior College: Many of our students have started and are well on their way with the application process to a two-year junior college. If you are planning on starting your college experience at a junior college you should contact the college via their website and submit your application if not already done. We encourage our junior-college bound students to become involved in any orientation/bridge programs for first-time freshman!

Our pioneering support service launches in London
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and Home Office minister, Victoria Atkins, joined forces today to launch The Lighthouse, our latest service for children.
The pioneering facility in Camden, London, sees us working with The University College London Hospitals Foundation Trust (UCLH), in partnership with Tavistock and Portman Foundation Hospital. It offers a full range of support to children and their families who've been affected by sexual abuse.
Until now, young people who reported sexual abuse could face multiple interviews with social workers, law enforcement and medical professionals in different and sometimes unfriendly settings, while also struggling to access long-term emotional support.
Based on the Icelandic Barnahus model, The Lighthouse brings all that support under one roof. It will also gather evidence from interviews to help gain more successful prosecutions in the future.

If you are the main chef in your home, you probably spend a couple of hours each day preparing food in the kitchen. Because you spend so much of your time in this room, you will want it to look as good as possible and this is why you should think about kitchen remodeling in MA. Kitchen remodeling in MA can be completed on a budget when you plan wisely and you could boost the value of your property when you make these home improvements. Whether you want to replace certain appliances, change the flooring, introduce new lighting or modernize old materials and colors, the following tips will be useful for kitchen remodeling in MA.
Estimating the Cost
You could contact a company that specializes in kitchen remodeling in MA and get a price estimate, but if you visit a nearby home improvement store you could also get an idea of how much the project is going to cost. Think about what changes you want to make first, such as the flooring, the appliances, the countertops, etc. Decide what items you want to buy and compare prices of each. Also factor in the cost of installation if you are not able to install the appliances yourself. If you are struggling to afford kitchen remodeling, consider getting a loan that you can pay back monthly to avoid financial issues.
Flooring, Lighting and Countertop Materials
Do you really need to buy new cabinets and storage boxes? If you want to save money on kitchen remodeling in MA you should try and re-use old pieces of furniture by painting them or re-facing them. If you are sure you want to replace the flooring you need to consider your options. Popular flooring options for kitchens are tile, laminate, linoleum, polished concrete and hardwood, with the cheapest being laminate. Finally, focus on the countertops because these will be used to chop vegetables and put plates on. Countertop sheets will be cheap, whereas expensive granite will look better and be more expensive.
Gutting, Colors and Installation
If you have decided that you will be changing everything in the kitchen you will need to gut the kitchen. Gutting the kitchen can be hard work, so make sure you hire a professional for this. Once all of the old fixtures have been removed you can paint the walls or apply wallpaper. Integrate lighting to highlight certain appliances and get a delivery crew to deliver new appliances, before getting them installed by a company that offers kitchen remodeling in MA.
By simply changing kitchen cabinets and installing new appliances you can transform the appearance of your kitchen without altering the layout. If you will be changing the layout when you complete kitchen remodeling in MA, you should hire a professional who can help you to make the most of your space.

Canary Wharf is one of London's most desirable areas for business. It's an important part of London's financial heart, with an iconic building at its centre. Although it's quite rightly famous as an area of big business opportunity, there is more to Canary Wharf than bankers and towers. Our extended stay apartments allow you to experience all the area has to offer for yourself.
Canary Wharf is part of London's Docklands, on the edge of the city. The Dockland's has a long history, with the ports of London becoming alive with activity in the late 1500's. The early 1800's saw the opening of West India Docks. This became considered the country's greatest civil engineering structure of the time. New technology and containerisation meant though that the area went on to suffer from massive disinvestment in the 1970s.
Despite this local economy collapse, Canary Wharf is now thriving. The redevelopment of the Docklands, with Canary Wharf as its catalyst, has been mainly responsible for the area's new-found prosperity. Even if you have booked temporary housing or short term accommodation here, there's still enough time to view how Canary Wharf has been able to reinvent itself as a financial capital.
There's no denying that Canary Wharf is a financial capital. There are around 105,000 people employed at Canary Wharf and the average salary is £100,000. One Canada Square, or known as Canary Wharf Tower, was once London's tallest building. This was until the Shard was built in 2012.
With so many global companies based in Canary Wharf many business travellers look to situate themselves in corporate housing. They need to be as close to the action as possible. SITU's Canary Wharf serviced apartments and corporate accommodation provide a safe and flexible way for you to live. Exactly where you need to be, when you need to be there.
Canary Wharf is more than a business and finance district. The area has over 300 shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, across five shopping malls. Hard to miss is Canada Square Park, home to summer concerts and a winter ice-skating rink. The Park sets ups a beautiful skating experience for 15 weeks beneath the stunning, winter skyline of Canary Wharf. We have a range of serviced apartments that are nearby the park.
Worth a visit is The Crossrail Place Roof Garden, part of the Canary Wharf Crossrail station. It's one of the UK's largest roof gardens. The garden has a free public indoor oasis and incorporates a performance space. You could end up watching drama, music or dance shows. A short stroll from there is the Canary Wharf Everyman Cinema. The classy, stylish cinema shows a mixture of classic and newly-released films to accommodate for a range of audiences. Or, you could dose up on some local history at the Museum of London Docklands. Entry is free, and the museum is open every day. This is all accessible from our furnished housing and furnished short lets that we have on offer.
There's never been better time to visit Canary Wharf and our aparthotels and can provide you with the best possible stay in this vibrant location.
These clippers operate four peak services per hour to Canary Wharf pier from Central London (Waterloo) and Woolwich.
From both these locations it takes around 30 minutes to reach the pier.
Those choosing to make use of our Canary Wharf serviced apartments still have easy access to the rest of London through The Docklands Light Railway.
The DLR network runs predominantly throughout the morning and the railway has 45 stations.
Less than 3 miles away from Canary Wharf, this airport provides flights to 50 different destinations worldwide.
Check-in time is only twenty minutes and its ideally located for those travelling to and from London and Greater London.

Change in Hunting Regulations at Brainard Lake
This petition made change with 2,085 supporters!
Imagine that you decide to take your family into the mountains for camping, hiking, or maybe a picnic at one of your favorite recreation areas just an hour or so away. The recreation area is well-known for its stunning views of the mountains and abundant wildlife, including several large bull moose. The moose here are so used to people that they tolerate photographers and wildlife watchers to get relatively close without shying away. You live in a very large, congested metropolitan area so being able to get away to a beautiful place like this in the mountains is very relaxing and enjoyable. Besides, your kids like the moose so much that they've named them and clamor to go up and see Henry and Buster any chance they can.
But this weekend will turn out to be terribly different from your past visits this summer. It's early on Saturday morning and your kids scramble out of the camper early so they can go check out the moose. After breakfast, you take your family for a short hike to the lake. Everyone knows the moose always eat the willows around the lake in the early morning. It doesn't take long to find the two huge bull moose...a crowd of over a dozen photographers, a few other families with kids, and several more people are within 50 feet of Henry and Buster. You notice that there are other moose in the area too, for a total of five. Your kids are excited to see these big, beautiful animals so close - most people in the country only see moose like this in books and on TV.
Suddenly you notice movement from a group you thought were simply wildlife watchers. Instead of raising a camera to get a photo, though, one man raises a bow and shoots off an arrow directly into Henry's side! Now instead of a beautiful scene of moose grazing on willows, a wounded, terrified, 1200+ pound bull moose bellows in pain and starts running around in terror. His panic sets off the other four moose and now there are five huge, scared, wild animals running around an area with dozens of now-terrified photographers and families. The wounded moose, still running, barrels through two groups of photographers. As you grab your kids and scramble to safety, you hope that no one was hurt or killed by the wounded animal.
Henry finally collapses on the ground and dies. Buster, distressed, stands by the side of his deceased buddy.
Emotions start to build between the photographers and hunter, and the photographers express their disgust and displeasure as to what just happened. It's at this moment that you notice the friends of the hunter start throwing rocks at Buster, the remaining moose, trying to drive him away so they can pose with the now-dead Henry for their victory photos. Buster doesn't much appreciate having rocks thrown at him so starts to get aggressive. The photographers intervene and get the hunter's friends to stop throwing rocks. In stunned silence, you move your now-crying kids back to the campsite, trying to figure out how to explain to them what just happened.
The details of the incident are real (as reported by eyewitnesses) and happened at Brainard Lake Recreation Area on September 6, 2014.
Not a pleasant scene, is it?
But this was technically a legal hunt. The hunter had a proper license and permit, the area was open to hunting, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) officials supervised the hunt. But while this was legal, it was far from responsible, ethical, sustainable, and safe.
- Innocent and uninformed wildlife enthusiasts were placed in harm's way by the hunt itself, its timing on a weekend, and CPW's lack of communication to the area's visitors.
- The moose at Brainard Lake are habituated to humans and tolerate more close contact than animals even at Teton or Yellowstone National Parks. "Hunting" of these moose is effectively like killing a dairy cow in a corral.
- Visitors to Brainard Lake go there to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. They don't expect to be placed in the middle of hunting season while they are camping or picnicking at one of the most popular parks in the Denver Metro area.
Some other facts to keep in mind:
- Parks and Wildlife officials did not tell the photographers or other onlookers viewing the moose that a hunt was in progress.
- According to visitors at Brainard Lake that Saturday, nowhere at the park entrance, in the parking lot, campground, on the website, or at the lake did they see clear signage to indicate that a moose hunt was in progress. There was no opportunity for visitors to make a decision to come back another time.
- According to US Forest Service statistics, Brainard Lake Recreation Area is the most heavily visited site in the Boulder Ranger District, and is one of the most popular in all of Arapahoe National Forest.
- This is a beloved picnicking, camping, wildlife-viewing, and hiking area for the Boulder-Denver metro area but is only slightly over 3,100 acres in size. Because of the multitudes of visitors using only limited facilities in a relatively small area, congestion is extreme. In fact, the usage to this area is so heavy that the Forest Service is considering alternative transportation options to lessen congestion.
- The campground contains 47 campsites which are typically filled each weekend, so upwards of 150 people were camping within 200 yards of the kill site.
- Many tourists come to Brainard specifically to see the large bull moose, some from out of state. Still others count the moose as an important secondary reason for visiting this area. The moose are an eco-tourism attraction. Allowing the big bulls here to be killed is a public relations and revenue fiasco in the making.
What We Propose for Brainard Lake Recreation Area
Let's start by making this clear: we are not trying to eliminate hunting, nor are we anti-hunting. We are in favor of safe, responsible, and ethical hunting practices.
We propose working together with the Colorado Governor's office, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the US Forest Service, and interested hunting groups to institute a plan that would allow for safe usage of Brainard Lake Recreation Area for visitors from Denver Metro area and beyond.
- For the remaining moose tag this season, close the area to visitors on the day the hunt is in progress, and communicate to the public in advance (signage, website, etc) of what is about to happen.
- For the future, institute a hunting exclusion zone, one mile in radius, outward from Brainard Lake (similar to what is done at Mt Evans and in the moose habitat near Gould, CO) for the safety and enjoyment of the non-hunting public and the moose.
- Hunters would still be able to hunt on the Forest Service lands nearby, just not in the designated exclusion zone.
- This would allow the "eco-tourism" draw that the moose have to continue, as well as allow for continued hunting in that general area. Recreation areas as beautiful as Brainard are gems because they are rare - the citizens of Colorado deserve a place they can go to enjoy this beauty and the wildlife without worrying about being injured by a hunt gone wrong.
- Once an exclusion zone is established, if at some point in the future the moose become over-populated (as confirmed by a third party, uninvolved biological conservation organization or consultant), limited culling could be instated for one season, closing the park on the day or days the hunt takes place. In this instance, a weekday cull would impact the fewest visitors. This is similar to deer population control programs instituted at city and county parks in major metropolitan areas of the midwestern US.
What Will it Accomplish?
We have an opportunity to work together to create a plan beneficial for hikers, campers, picnickers, wildlife enthusiasts, the moose, hunters, the US Forest Service, and the State of Colorado.
Our biggest concern is for the safety and continued enjoyment of the non-hunting public who loves visiting Brainard Lake. We are also concerned for the moose themselves.
What do we expect this plan to accomplish?
- Safety and enjoyment of the non-hunting public.
- Continued moose hunting in the lesser-visited Forest Service lands in the area.
- Continued enjoyment of one of the most beautiful and wildlife-rich recreation areas by the non-hunting public as an ecotourism draw.
- Maintenance of a healthy population of moose close to a major metropolitan area, something extremely rare in the lower 48 states.
Precious few places exist in the US where the average person can easily and reliably enjoy being around these majestic creatures. Brainard Lake is one of the best, and it's a stone's throw from the Denver Metro area. We have an opportunity to create a positive outcomes - we can be proactive, taking a responsible, ethical, and sustainable approach to wildlife management and visitor enjoyment. Let's allow the moose to continue to draw in and delight tens of thousands of outdoors enthusiasts every year.

Today's Digital Data Can Pose a Significant Security Risk Is It Is Not Closely Monitored
It is as small as being able to check your phone's app and know where your teenage daughters are located and it is as complex as knowing that you can be traveling across the world and know that your credit card purchases are being monitored for unexpected activity. In today's digital world, there are a number of ways that the Internet of Things keeps up both connected and secure. With the use of remote network access, in fact, businesses and individuals across the globe can tap into the Internet of Things to monitor their financial transactions and other important activities.
As a result of all of this access, however, there is also a constant and increasing need for a variety of safety and security measures. For this reason there are a growing number of companies that offer endpoint cyber security solutions and network access protection services.

How To Improve Your Client Loyalty
The hotel industry is an important one, and one that is likely to continue to thrive in the United States and far beyond it as well. This is because people love to travel – and the vast majority of them will need to find lodgings in the places that they travel to. Baby boomers take the most luxury vacations, with less than half saying that cost is a barrier to the travel that they want to do (on a leisure basis). Among the Millennial generation and the Gen X generation, this number is much higher. But more than twenty five percent of all baby boomers were planning to take a trip within the United States with at least three generations of their family traveling together in the year of 2016 alone, a percentage that has held firm in the few years that have followed since. But even those who do not have the funds to travel expensively or incredibly luxuriously can still have a great trip, and many Millennials and those of the Gen X generation will be looking for ways to save costs and trav
3 Tips to Keep Your Internet Extension Working Properly
The internet is a growing resource for many with over three million users in the entire world as of march of 2017. Without the internet, many could end up feeling like they are disconnected from the world. This can cause a problem is your internet is not properly connected. Connecting your internet correctly can ensure that you have a connection that works properly with the correct tools. Read these tips below to understand the requirements and how you can ensure that your connection works properly for what you need.
You should not choose to run a 500 ft ethernet cable, or any ethernet cable types around noise. Ethernet cables should be used away from devices that cause noise. Not following these guidelines with a ethernet connection can cause interference. Electrical wires are not the only thing that can cause noise distraction for your connection. Lighting
How Modern Meeting Solutions Can Supercharge Communication in Your Company
Running or managing any kind of corporate entity routinely involves setting up robust communication channels. Communication between departments and different levels of personnel can be an extremely important part of the workflow in general and making sure that communication channels can be leveraged properly can be crucial in achieving progress. Meetings and digital communications pervade most business entities in this day and age and with the constant enhancement of hardware and software solutions that are usually used to facilitate these, there is always a push for more. With advanced user provisions and unified communication solutions coming to the market on a regular basis, it has become more of a requirement and less of an option for IT managers and business executives to learn more about meeting solutions and how they can help improve the workflow.
In this day and age, a number of traditional notions and processes about business practices have changed radically. Wired phone
How Hot/Cold Aisle Containment Benefits Data Center
There's no denying that data centers play a very important role in storing information. But as useful as they are, data centers come with many costs and they take a lot to maintain.
For example, the power density of a data center is 100 times more than that of a large commercial office building and is equivalent to nine shopping malls about the size of Wal-Mart. With all that power being used, keeping the temperature stable is paramount.
More than 65 percent of IT equipment failures are directly attributed to inadequate, poorly maintained or failed air conditioning in the server room. When the cooling system isn't working, there could be dire consequences. The A/C costs of an average server room with about 30 KW of air conditioning operating at 70 percent capacity with an average cost of 12.7 c/kWh will be $23,000pa and 243 tons of green-house gas will be produced.
One way for data centers to avoid major IT problems is by using hot or cold aisle containment. There are ad

Does a complex care discharge planning initiative reduce unplanned hospital readmissions?
Data access has been approved for a project to determine if payment of the "Specialist Discharge Care Plan for Complex Patient" fee code improved patient outcomes. The research will also evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the fee code as a policy intervention.
Unplanned hospital readmissions are associated with increases in morbidity, mortality, cost and patient dissatisfaction. One attempt to reduce readmissions was implemented in June 2012, when the Specialist Services Committee of British Columbia (a partnership between Doctors of BC and the BC Ministry of Health) introduced a new fee code for physicians.
"The fee code created a financial incentive for physicians to provide a point-of-care supplemental discharge summary to patients and their primary care providers prior to discharge from hospital," explains project leader Dr. John Staples, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia. "One of the ultimate goals was to reduce patients' risk of being readmitted to the hospital. Our study will use administrative data to determine if the fee code was an effective way to reduce unplanned readmissions."
The study is funded by Providence Health Care Research Institute, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and the Specialist Services Committee (SSC), one of four joint collaborative committees of Doctors of BC and the BC government.
PopData will link datasets from the BC Vital Statistics Agency, the BC Ministry of Health, the BC Ministry of Health Chronic Disease Registry database and Statistics Canada for the project.

The love of house music runs deep through the Steyoyoke family and this latest release is not shy to show it. Taking some of the labels shining stars from the past year, Steyoyoke artists have been given the chance to remix their fellow family members tracks. Family Affair 01 is a salute to the unity shown within the label and proves that there is still so much love to give from Steyoyoke.
Starting things off is Bartok's remix of Dahu's dark and enigmatic ʻDeep In The Woods' anthem. Bartok holds onto some of the mystery, though he twists and turns through the woods to conjure up an all the more driven step and finds itself coming to a clearing.
Bartok's ʻCherries' was a provocative and alluring house anthem that left you wanting more and to remix such a gem would take a brave soul, step up Soul Button. Keeping still the signature vocals, Soul Button lifts Cherries higher with rushing synth chords falling into the beat.
Sasch puts a strong hand to I'm Fine and Antonio Olivieri's summer anthem – ʻIf I Were Music'. Rising from the dark, Sasch comes out fighting with a persistent groove that keeps going until you've had enough.
The young dj and producer Dahu gives his take on Antonio Olivieri's ʻRudiments' with an uplifting remix of the original foot stomper. Rich with soul and raw with emotion, Dahu tantalizes with unique and surprising synths and sounds.
ʻMarian' by Sasch was a track that found itself lifting the hearts of many patrons to the dancefloor. Antonio Olivieri's remix delivers with an engaging beat and a teasing spanish guitar sample that lifts you high beyond the clouds.
Steyoyoke's newest family member Florian Rietze is given the task of remixing I'm Fine and Antonio Olivieri's – ʻYour Ghost'. Florian shows no sign of being the youngest within the family with what is a very mature remix. Seductively dark, but still tender and gentle.
Closing the curtain on this first Family Affair is MPathy with a weighty punch behind Soul Button's classic – ʻShadows'. Filled to the brim with energy and heart, MPathy highlights the passion and evermore giving challenge of delivering only the finest house music.

Axion Structural Innovations launches advisory board, names inaugural members
Industry's leading experts to provide insight, direction for company's future innovations
ZANESVILLE, Ohio March 15, 2018 — Axion Structural Innovations, a leading provider of proven, tested structural composite solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications, is announcing the formation of an advisory board to provide insights and direction for the company's current and future innovations. The advisory board will be comprised of industry-leading experts in engineering, transportation, technology and other key disciplines.
Inaugural advisory board members are:
David Connell — Mr. Connell's railroad engineering professional career spanned more than 30 years. Most recently, he served as the vice president of engineering for Union Pacific Railroad, where he led the design, construction and maintenance of the nation's largest railway. Active in his profession, he is past chair of the Railroad Design Committee at the Transportation Research Board. He is also past chair of the Heavy Axle Load Committee and past vice chair of the Research Technology Working Committee at the Association of American Railroad's Transportation Technology Center.
Frederick Deans — Mr. Deans has more than 40 years of sales/marketing, technical service, manufacturing, business development and business management experience at companies such as General Electric and Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG), working in the automotive, architectural and industrial market segments. He is an expert in product evaluation, processing, production, product engineering and in coordinating new product introductions. Among his many accomplishments are his work engineering the development of an automotive glass-forming process, introducing monolithic tempered privacy glass for sport-utility vehicles (SUVs); development of the first unidirectional GMT composites for new-generation automotive bumper systems; and managing a next-generation long-fiber thermoplastic composite development (D-LFT) for underhood (IFES, underbody shields) and off-road vehicle load floors. He is a current member of the Board of Directors of the Society of Plastics Engineers' (SPE's) Automotive and Composites Divisions, past chair of the SPE Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition (ACCE), and an SPE Honored Service Member.
David A. Jack — An associate professor at the Baylor University School of Engineering and Computer Science, Mr. Jack has established himself as a leader in the numerical modeling of injection molding of fiber-reinforced polymer systems. His expertise blends physics-based constitutive modeling with experimental polymer characterization, providing him with a rare breadth of technical capability. He is currently developing a model to analyze data taken from graphite- or glass fiber-reinforced composites. This leads to the creation of 3D images and has the potential to revolutionize the inspection and repair of structures utilizing composite materials.

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in Saint Helena CA
Who has the best Saint Helena debt consolidation services?
Saint Helena consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Saint Helena loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Saint Helena debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Saint Helena loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Saint Helena consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in California to find Saint Helena credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Saint Helena CA. The reason the best place to find Saint Helena debt consolidation lenders in California is because you will be able to find the right Saint Helena lender for you. Your local Saint Helena banks may not specialize in the right Saint Helena consolidation loans for you or have California lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best California debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Saint Helena loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in Saint Helena CA
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Saint Helena banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in California with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Saint Helena debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Saint Helena credit counseling programs. These Saint Helena loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Saint Helena loan. Your California credit rating, your ability to repay the Saint Helena loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Saint Helena bank policies on California lending will determine if you get a Saint Helena consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Saint Helena Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Saint Helena loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard California loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Saint Helena monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Saint Helena loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Saint Helena Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Saint Helena debt consolidation lenders may give you Saint Helena loan consolidation. Unsecured Saint Helena loans are the riskiest loans to give by a California lender. This is because if the Saint Helena loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Saint Helena banks do for Saint Helena debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Saint Helena loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Saint Helena loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Saint Helena credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Saint Helena bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.
