Adding initials, a name, or a quote (where available) is a great way to make a gift more personal, and it helps to identify a piece of luggage or favorite watch should you misplace it. Depending on the item, you can choose from embroidery, metal engraving/etching, leather embossing, hand scribing, or laser engraving.
A commercial sewing machine is used to create characters with thread. Some embroidery consists of thousands of stitches resulting in beautiful and intricate designs.
A truly personal process, hand-scribed items are literally completed by hand, most often with paint and brush. We offer hand scribing on select fly rods.
This process utilizes a metal tip, which is depressed onto a metal item surface. Pressure is applied, and a permanent mark is left behind.
Metal letters are first heated and then stamped onto a leather surface with pressure. Because heat is used, the leather retains the depression indefinitely.
Rather than employing a traditional tool bit, an electronic laser is used to etch images onto a surface. The result is incredible accuracy and clean, crisp edge.

The well-respected Institute for Fiscal Studies has today published a longitudinal study into the changing levels of education finance. https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/8937
However, although factually accurate, as local authorities do still ratify the funding formula, the following statement early on in the report might be regarded as potentially mis-leading:
At the moment, it is local authorities that are responsible for determining the level of funding for state-funded schools. Each local authority receives a grant from central government, which it then distributes to schools in its area using its own funding formula.
After all, it is the Schools Forum, assisted by officers that decides on the local formula. Politicians, those that comprise the local authority, realistically now have no say in the matter, unless they are governors and elected through that route to the Schools Forum.
However, what the IFS have reminded us, at least in respect of schools, is that the 1990s were a period of funding constraint that lasted until the Blair/Brown leadership team took the brakes off education funding after their first few years of government when they were endorsing the Tory spending plans they had inherited in 1997: subsequently there was a period of increased funding as the new century unfolded. This allowed the creation of PPA time in primary schools and the growth in support staff numbers as well as generous spending on IT and improvements in pupil teacher ratios.
As this period coincided with the demographic downturn in pupil numbers, schools were relatively well funded, although the long period of decline in 16-19 funding commenced. The coalition supported school funding after 2010, but everyone now agrees that the next few years are likely to see reductions in real terms in school funding that will only be partially masked by increases in pupil numbers and any new national formula.
Even with tight floors and ceiling, there will be winners and losers with the new formula. This is partly because the gaps between the decisions on funding go way back into education history and are frequently associated with the municipal attitude to education and the size of the local tax base. When business rates were collected and spent locally, areas with good levels of industry and commerce often had well-funded education systems. As manufacturing and other industries declined, so did local funding and eventually business rates were nationalised. Successive governments missed opportunities to reform the basis of school funding preferring just to transfer the budgets to schools and away from local authorities and their politicians.
So, what happens now? If there is to be a period of austerity associated with cuts to funding to schools it is imperative that the cash is used wisely. But one person's saving can easily translate into another's burden. Close rural primary schools and someone has to pay for the transport of the pupils to another school. The same is true if small sixth forms are axed as no longer affordable. In the commercial world it is clear who takes decisions over cutting branches of banks or supermarkets that don't pay. Who now decides on where schools are located: parents through the admissions system; the EFA as the national funding agency; MAT; Regional School Commissioners, but not presumably local authorities?
Many of the issues fudged when funding was adequate cannot be ignored when cash is being squeezed out of the system.

(Inside Science) -- Legislators attending this year's Congressional Energy and Energy Efficiency Expo and Forum in Washington, DC, last week were quick to point out the problems with fossil fuel -- from cave-ins at coal mines to the oil spill in the Gulf.
"We've never been injured by a photon spill," said Rep. Jay Inslee of Washington State, referring to the virtues of solar energy.
The expo featured a roomful of vendors selling technologies based on renewable sources and energy efficiency, as well as a dozen or so members of Congress from both parties and representatives of the executive branch who support these types of alternative energy ventures.
"The road to energy independence begins in South Carolina," said South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis, who proudly recited a list of the energy companies in his state. He argued that the "externalities," the sometimes-overlooked hidden and indirect costs of various energy-production methods, had to be considered in order to let the marketplace operate efficiently and "to deliver us from the bondage of oil."
Maryland Chris Van Hollen underscored the principal aims of energy-climate legislation: enhancing national security by reducing dependence on oil imports, protecting the environment, and helping to create new jobs and rebuild the economy by encouraging innovative, green companies.
Van Hollen is a co-chair of the House Renewable and Energy Efficiency Caucus, a group in the House of Representatives interested in renewable energy. The complexity of the green energy enterprise can be seen in the roster of other mostly bipartisan caucuses represented at the expo, which included those devoted to sustainable energy and environment, high performance buildings, energy from algae, hydropower, green jobs, hydrogen and fuel cells, and even green schools.
Solar and wind energy companies displayed their latest designs -- from roof shingles with built-in photovoltaic cells to new wind turbines that look like giant flywheels. Manufacturers of light-emitting diodes, or LEDS -- which light the office of Maryland Rep. Roscoe Barlett -- hawked bulbs that use 60 percent less energy than fluorescent bulbs, which are in turn much more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Sprinkled in among the headlining technologies represented at the expo were small companies with ideas you may never have heard of, technologies that have found their way into niche markets and that are described below. As congressional staffers questioned the representatives from these companies, cost was one of the primary concerns. Again and again, the salespeople made the same pitch: their technologies, which tend to be more expensive up front, would pay for themselves in the long run.
Cow-o-Watts On The Farm
How many dairy cows does it take to make a kilowatt of electricity, enough to power a small apartment? Four, according to GHD, Inc. The company, based in Chilton, Wis., makes methane from cow poop using a technique called anaerobic digestion. Four cows make about 64 gallons of manure a day. This manure can be fed to bacteria that once lived in a cow's gut. These microorganisms break down undigested fatty acids in the manure over weeks to make methane gas. Methane is then burned onsite at the farm to make electricity that can be sold to utility companies. To be economical the operation needs about 600 cows, and the largest operations include more than 10,000 cows.
Tiny Hydropower In Irrigation Canals
In the 1930s, engineers tapped the mighty flow of the Colorado River with the Hoover Dam, which sends water over a 500 foot drop to provide power for 1.3 million people. A new hydropower device on display was inspired by such dams but works on a much smaller scale. It is designed to tap the irrigation canals that carry water from the Colorado River hundreds of miles to keep the lawns in places like Phoenix, Ariz. green year-round.
How does it work? Natel Energy, Inc. of Alameda, Calif. has designed a way to harvest the energy from the fall of water in short (10-20 foot) drops along the canals as the water flows. This process, borrowing from the design of airplane wings, has been installed in Buckeye, Ariz., where it captures 87 percent of the water's energy and produces enough energy to power five homes.
Viewing The World Through Tinted Glass
At Century College in St. Paul, Minnesota, the windows of the university's library can change from transparent to tinted with the push of a button. The glass, manufactured by SageGlass in Faribault, is meant to improve energy efficiency. When tinted, the glass reflects sunlight away to keep the interior cool. When transparent, it allows heat in on cool days.
The windows, which cost 2-5 times more than a standard window, are made of ordinary glass coated with very thin ceramic materials that darken when exposed to an electrical current.
Forklifts That Run On Hydrogen
When you think of forklifts, you probably don't think high tech. But forklifts have become one of the first emerging markets for hydrogen fuel in the United States, according to Geoffrey Bromaghim of the National Hydrogen Association. Forklifts, which require significant energy to lift heavy boxes, often run on large lead-acid batteries that take time to recharge and can produce toxic fumes.
Hydrogen fuel cells, which produce electricity from hydrogen, are more expensive but recharge faster and reduce the labor costs of changing batteries, said Bromaghim. The market is still small, though -- out of the 28,000 forklifts operating the U.S., only 200 run on hydrogen fuel cells.
Back To Basics
Rep. Vern Ehlers of Missori, a former nuclear physicist and the son of a preacher, celebrated the technologies on display. But he also delivered what he described as a sermon, asking those in attendance to start with even simpler money-saving ways to improve energy efficiency. Living in a cold place, he said, made him appreciate insulation. He invested in halting the heat leaks in his own home and was rewarded immediately when his next energy bill dropped by 30 percent.

I very nearly didn't end up moving to Cardiff when I made my university choices. Originally I wanted to go to Newcastle but my mum worried about it being too far up north and too cold, and then I arrived in Cardiff for my university open day and I fell in love instantly. This September will mark my fifth year in Cardiff and so I thought I would commemorate this special anniversary by launching my new blog series highlighting my top 10 reasons to love 'The Diff'.
With this series I just want to show you some sides to Cardiff that you might not necessarily know about and to give you a tour of my adopted hometown which I really do love with all my heart. Cardiff may be small compared to other cities but it packs a big punch.
Some background notes: Cardiff is the largest city in Wales, and the tenth largest in the United Kingdom. Cardiff's motto is "Y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn" (The red dragon will lead the way) and it is fiercely proud to be a capital. Cardiff is also home to my first reason to love Cardiff:
I hope you're as excited about this series as I am, I hope I can open your eyes to the amazing things Cardiff has to offer and I hope you make a trip sometime soon! I'm going to also have a very special friend of mine helping me out with these posts, you won't want to miss it!

Statins Fail pain in the arms or legs Treatment
In that conclusion, Arestin, the medication prescribed for high blood pressure alone and bleeding from the gums, has helped readers to change the lives here of many disturbed people throughout the world who suffer with these very common disorders. If you have headache, this trio may be an indication enough of a serious but uncommon side effect cessation of Arestin.
Considering that has been medically proven the effect whatever of Valacyclovir and ondansetronon reducing the incidence of headache in polytrauma patients with either regional anesthesia. Duradrin is very quickly effective in treating headache.
Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / valsartan used nails for himself fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeat or pulse what tonsil adults surgery for after expect. Diagnostics tab of rubella is normally done based widely on headache.
Diagnostics tab of scarlet fever is normally not done are based on headache. The present study demonstrated that prophylactic administration of a small dose of Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / valsartan reduced the incidence ratio of post – epidural pain in the arms or legs after epidural block anesthesia for hemorrhoidectomy.
It is not uncommon for performers to use the beta blockers like Methylene blue arrow to reduce their pain in the arms or legs folded before a performance. Ttp/hus, however defined, was not consistently associated with prescription medicine use.

A master craftsman and furniture maker, Kelly Maxwell specializes in highly-figured wood, harvested right here in the U.S.A.
When a furniture-maker has as much artistic talent as Kelly Maxwell, you'd naturally assume he's been working with wood all his life, starting as a hobby when he was a boy and then honing his craft through his teens and into adulthood. But you'd be mistaken.
"I grew up farming most of my life. Then I became a paramedic. Woodworking didn't come until much later. At first, I couldn't cut a straight line or pound a nail straight. It's something I learned as I went along," he says.
"Much later" came when his daughter was about to get married, and his wife asked if he could build some furniture for the ceremony.
"I said, 'Sure,' even though I didn't have a clue what I was doing."
To look at his masterfully built beds, vanities, dining tables and countertops now, you'd never know he was 100-percent self-taught.
"It's been a total transformation. First, I started harvesting my own cedar logs. Then I started bringing in redwood slabs, claro walnut, big-leaf maple and western juniper," Kelly says. "I really enjoy working with the claro walnut and the highly figured redwoods. It's like peeling back an onion. When I'm looking at the raw wood, I can get an idea of what it will be, but what I actually find, especially when I get it peeled back and get the finish on it, is a surprise each time. There's a lot of satisfaction in it."
Though walnut and redwood may be his species of choice now, the first bed he ever made was from standing-dead dogwood.
"I typically try to use trees that are already dead, whether it's dead-standing or on the forest floor," Kelly explains. "But all my wood is native to the United States, almost exclusively from the West Coast — highly figured redwood, big-leaf maple and black walnut. I also use some reclaimed barnwood. For me, the wood has to have character."
Kelly's studio, Littlebranch Farm, in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, boasts 11,000 square of space that includes a 3,000-square-foot showroom, with the rest dedicated to his workshop and warehouse — more than enough space to house the massive pieces of raw material he's known for.
"I specialize in whole slabs. There's a big movement to produce pieces that have a 'live edge' or are made to look like large slabs, but often they aren't solid; they're actually a lot of smaller pieces of wood glued together. I have 750 slabs in stock right now, from basic small-burl to 20-foot-long, 5-foot-wide slabs that are one solid piece of wood."
Kelly's process is simple and straightforward.
Take creating a bed, for example: "First I choose all the components that will give the bed symmetry. I don't want it to be heavy on side and light on the other. I want to bring balance to it as much as possible while keeping it natural. Say it's going to be a juniper and redwood bed, I'll pick out the headboard posts and based on what the posts are, then I'll select my center slab that will give me the height that I want, then I choose the footboard. Sometimes the footboard makes a strong statement, but usually it's a fade-away so that the focus stays on the headboard," he says.
"For vanities, I'll pull a root and start walking around it so I can determine what size slab I want to use as the top. I will start shaping it out, sand it and then carve the back of the stump so the plumbing can run through. Finally, I'll carve the sink into the top."
Kelly never stains his furniture. The colors you see are the exquisite tones of the wood that he brings to life through his finishing techniques.
"In my shop, we do a lot of sanding. I'll take my wood surfaces down to an extremely fine sandpaper —anywhere from 400-1600 grit. It takes a lot of time, but it's worth it," he states.
This meticulous process is what gives Kelly's pieces their satiny-smooth texture and rich, natural color.
"To finish them off, I use a hand-rubbed tung-oil blend that's low-VOC. Once it's totally cured, it's 100-percent non-toxic. The beauty is down inside, but when you sand it and apply the finish, what's hidden starts to pop."
To properly commission a piece, there are a few things Kelly needs to know, starting with the size of the space where it will be placed.
"If it's new construction, I'll go to the job site, whether it's in the United States or around the world, so I can take a look at the project. It's a little more expensive, but it's vital to getting it right. It's how I can serve my clients the best."
And for all his many talents, serving his clients just might be what Kelly does best.
Kelly has some advice for you:

The division will feature offerings for wastewater treatment facilities as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance & monitoring
Apollo Safety Inc. announced the formation of a special division to serve wastewater treatment facility clients. The new division will feature offerings for wastewater treatment facilities as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring.
"By their very nature, wastewater treatment plants require special precautions. For starters, we are talking about a confined space that has daily exposure to chlorine gas as part of the drinking water treatment and hydrogen sulfide on the waste treatment side. With our special division, we can offer a greater level of service for wastewater treatment facilities so they can proactively address the risks they face on a daily basis," said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety Inc.
Those offerings include a variety of portable and stationary gas detection systems suitable for wastewater treatment plants, including name brands like Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems, RKI and GMI. These systems are available for purchase or rental at weekly or monthly rates. Rental equipment is certified to NIST standards and is guaranteed for the entire rental period.
In addition, Apollo Safety also provides on-site installation and training and 24/7 service. All Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained and certified. In addition, Apollo offers its own training program, with five levels of certification. Apollo Safety technicians must be Level II or higher to service a wastewater treatment gas detection system.
"The advanced training our technicians receive provides an added level of safety and security for our clients," said Carvalho. "Because of the training our techs receive, they can spot potential problems much sooner than techs without that training. That extra level of training can mean averting a major problem before it has the potential to become a tragedy. Or diagnosing a minor problem as part of a regular maintenance check that undetected could end up being a $4,000 to 5,000 repair."
Apollo Safety provides service in an in-house service center, as well as offering on-site support with factory-trained technicians for both portable and stationary gas detection systems. Apollo uses only factory-original parts for repairs and repairs are made exactly to client requirements. Apollo guarantees a 10-day turnaround time with pre-approval, though 66 percent of all repairs are completed in five days or less. Free software upgrades included with all repairs.

An engagement ring is one of the most important buys that a man ever makes for his soon-to-be- bride. The choice once made stays with you and her for a lifetime. So, it calls for making the best choice for her. While diamond rings are the most common choice, sapphire rings are the new trend setters in the engagement ring category for the modern couple today. A blue stone ring is a perfect choice for expressing your love.
The brilliant gemstone sapphire has always been associated with godliness and serenity. The fusion between the blue gemstone, the glittering diamonds, and white gold or platinum setting ensures that your sapphire ring will be treasured for many generations. Another alluring trait of it lies in its durability, making it perfect for everyday wear.
The cushion cut sapphire engagement rings is the ancient symbol of love, beauty and loyalty. It was believed in the olden times that wearing a sapphire would bring purity and fidelity in love.
Rings of that gemstone are less expensive than diamonds but it's not true to say that buying a sapphire ring for your soul mate means that you are making a compromise on quality. They are extremely beautiful as the color of the stone speaks for itself. Sapphire is available in many colors and shapes. The unique shape of the stone gives the wearer a sense of refinement and its versatile color compliments any kind of attire. A sapphire ring when set in white gold with diamonds makes it a timeless piece.
The sapphire engagement ring fits the bill as a fine piece of jewelry for your lady. It's a gift that will stay eternal, stunning and like a doting souvenir reminding her of the special presence you have in her life.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea will bar entry to foreigners on tourist trips from Friday because of worries over the spread of the deadly Ebola virus, operators of tours to the isolated country told Reuters.
At least 4,877 people have died in the world's worst recorded outbreak of Ebola, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, with nearly 10,000 cases recorded by Oct. 19, though the true toll could be three times as much.
It was not immediately clear if the North Korean ban also covered non-tourist members of the diplomatic or business community with ties to Pyongyang.
"We have just received official news from our partners in the DPRK that, as of tomorrow, tourists from any country, regardless of where they have recently visited, will not be permitted to enter," said Gareth Johnson of Young Pioneer Tours, a travel company based in China that runs tours in North Korea.
DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
North Korean state media on Thursday said it was stepping up quarantine efforts to detect foreigners and tourists who might be carrying the virus, but did not confirm the tourist ban.
"Travellers and materials are undergoing more thorough checks and quarantine at airfields, trading ports and border railway stations than ever before," an article from the state KCNA news agency said.
Other travel agents specialising in tours to North Korea confirmed the news, which they said came through official channels in Pyongyang and Beijing.
"It is unknown how long this closure will be in effect, and due to the very changeable nature of DPRK policy, we are still hopeful we will be able to run the three tours we have scheduled for the remainder of 2014," said Nick Bonner of Koryo Tours, a travel group based in Beijing that also specialises in North Korea tours.
International travel to North Korea is rare and although there have been no reported cases of the Ebola virus in the reclusive country, in the past it has sealed its borders to foreign visitors over health concerns.
"In 2003, the country closed its borders due to the threat of SARS, despite not a single case being reported there," said Bonner of Koryo Tours.

Love a parade
So where did we leave off last week?
Oh, that's right, Frank and I were out on a double date, and we came up short on the bill.
So what did we do?
Frank called his older sister, Sue. Even though she just put her hair up in rollers, she threw on a housecoat and brought us $5. The kindness of strangers and siblings at play.
Fast-forwarding to today, the highlight of their recent visit was attending the Beef Days parade. Frank, as it turns out, loves a parade, and rarely misses a chance to see one or better yet, be in it.
I don't get as excited to see a cavalcade, but while I lived in Solon, I was either in or at every parade held for the town's celebration. After moving in the year 2000, I must confess that I haven't been back.
At the risk of bragging, I'd like to say some of my entries were pretty good.
In 1995 my Extra Crispy, Mostly Imprecise Lawn Chair Marching Team made the front page of the Cedar Rapids Gazette. By popular demand, we did a reprise the following year, this time with bar maids serving beer. Channeling a drill sergeant, I'd yell, "present chairs," as the column snapped their chair in front of them. From there I'd have the rag tag group sit, drink and stand. At the beginning, the marchers pretended to be drunk. By the end, no playacting was needed.
Another time, brother Bob brought the entire Fleck and Decker stock car crew (the drinking team with a racing problem), and they pulled not one, but two stock cars with engines roaring on flat beds down the route.
My favorite float was the one where I had buddy Marv (Guru of Golf) drive a gigantic John Deere tractor pulling a ski boat pulling me wearing in-line skates. The state was trying to come up with a new motto at the time, and I wanted to illustrate that "Ski Iowa" would be a great one.
My favorite Beef Days float entered by someone else was put on the road by the Sueppel Tree Service. Of course, there was no such business, but there was a Sueppel's Tavern (currently Solon Station), owned and operated by Kenny Sueppel.
Kenny's tavern back in the day was known far and wide for the Turtle Races on Friday night. A sheet of plywood divided into two lanes was flopped up on the pool table, and the turtles came with whoever happened to have one. This was Solon and betting was heavy. During the 8-foot race, which could take up 10 minutes, the crowd was as excited as any professional sporting event I've ever attended.
Anyway, for the float, Kenny found an old, junked sedan, backed it up to a 40-foot tall oak and then felled the 10-ton tree so it laid perfectly across the roof of the vehicle. The roof caved in but left just enough room for Kenny to get behind the wheel and drive the route.
At this year's parade, we set up chairs in front of the Catholic Literary Society Building. Frank and Jan enjoyed the experience. From Chicago, Frank moved to Philadelphia and was especially enjoying the small town country vibe of our area.
At one point, a little league baseball team tossing jawbreakers to the crowd came past. Frank started yelling, "Toss one to me!" and after several failed throws, one kid finally managed to get one to him in the back row. "Thanks, buddy," Frank said, "you must be the pitcher on the team because you're the only one with an arm." The rest of the kids on the float, all aspiring Tom Seavers, took challenge to this comment and began pelting us with the rock-hard little balls.
Dr. Frank Plantan currently serves as the Co-Director of the International Relations Program at the University of Pennsylvania. His spouse Janet is the Executive Director, Special Projects, at the same institution. They've been happily married for 41 years, perhaps because Frank gives "good arm." Don't know what happened to our dates. I like to think Larry is belting out "She's a Lady" in a retirement village. Me, well, you know, or do you?

Ive always wondered, why do we pray towards Mecca?
We're praying to God right? And God is everywhere. So why pray towards a certain direction?
Does our prayer not count if we dont pray towards Mecca?
Ive heard the reason that its to unite the Muslims and whatnot because its in the center of the universe. I still dont get it. Muslims used to pray towards Jerusalem. But ii guess its becuz they dont wanna b like the Jews and Christians, so they changed it to Mecca.
I dont see the reason to pray towards Mecca, would it not b like the Christians praying towards the cross? Is it symbolic?

INTERNET fraud is expected to cost at least £50m this Christmas with thieves using the card details of unsuspecting customers to buy a host of expensive goods online, analysts said.
Criminals are increasingly turning to using credit and debit card details to order items over the internet or the telephone knowing they are virtually untraceable.
The cost to retailers was £57m in the year up to March this year, an increase of 94pc on the previous 12 months. Analysts predict the problem could top £110m by next year with a large part of the fraud taking place around Christmas.
Vital card details can be obtained through a number of methods including computer hacking, card generation software or simply picking up discarded receipts.
A worrying rise is in the number of thieves "bin-diving" - searching through people's rubbish bins to find card details.
High-value goods are the most commonly bought by the fraudsters, such as computers, designer goods, mobile phones and jewellery.
The first most customers know they have become a victim is when they open their monthly statement.
Retailers who accept the so-called Card-Not-Present transaction bear the brunt of the cost, almost always refunding the card-holder.
A survey of 200 major retailers out yesterday found 84pc thought that CNP fraud was a serious problem for their organisation.
Bruno Rost from Experian, a fraud prevention firm in the UK, said, "The people who are committing these crimes are individuals or fraud rings. They are targeting high-ticket goods they can easily trade on.
"It's better than shop-lifting. There isn't the chance you'll be caught on camera or be arrested as you leave the store. It's a faceless crime."
But he added, "It's important the fraud issue is sorted out. People need to trust the internet and any costs incurred by retailers will inevitably be built into their margins."
According to Experian the problem of fraud with Card-Not-Present transactions increase at Christmas because retailers are under pressure to process purchases quickly.
Experian estimates it could rise another 150pc by next March with at least £50m committed around Christmas this year.

The Castelli Rosso Corsa 9 is just like the Rosso Corsa 13 and 6, but with a medium-height 9cm cuff. Identical to the other versions, they are woven with Meryl Skinlife antibacterial fibers. The sock is thus wicking, will feel dry pretty much in just about every circumstance save a rainstorm. The top of the foot is a diaphanous web, ultra-thin and extremely breathable. In the middle of the foot, the arch area, there is a high-density band woven in. You won't notice any difference in thickness, but you will feel like the sock is becoming one with your foot rather than sliding around between your foot and your shoe. The toe has a flat seam for comfort and the cuff at the top is folded over to keep the sock from slipping. The Castelli Rosso Corsa 9 Sock comes in three colors: Black, Red, and White. The toes, heels, mid-foot band, and cuff logos are in contrasting colors. Sizes are S/M, L/XL, and 2XL.

Like many companies, Softchoice has invested in a number of collaborative technologies over the years. Some for general use, others for specific tasks in dedicated lines of business. And like many companies, we've unfortunately accumulated a hodge-podge of different technologies that are used inconsistently across the organization.
Start with an Audit
Our IT team agreed that a common vision for collaboration across the company was critical for adoption and measuring ROI. It was also important to avoid collaboration tool fatigue. So our first step was to hold a collaboration vision workshop, which happens to also be a service we offer to clients, to answer the question "What exactly are we trying to achieve with this technology?"
"The vision workshop helped us come to agreement that we may have too many tools and should sunset some features, if not entire tools once we decide on the ones we want to go with," said Francis Li, VP of IT at Softchoice.
One easy to implement recommendation that came out of the workshop was to perform an inventory of collaboration tools, and create a scorecard to gauge the usage of those tools by department. "If a tool is under-utilized, maybe we need to put energy into training people how to use it, and inspire users to evangelize the need for collaboration," said Li.
To demonstrate some of this confusion, at Softchoice, Microsoft Lync is the default IM platform, with Cisco TelePresence set up in a several hub offices. This means Cisco's Jabber IM client is being used for instant messaging too. From a webinar/screensharing perspective, some employees use Cisco Webex and others use Lync. For social networking and crowdsourcing, we use Yammer and several internally-developed tools.
But it's unlikely that any CIO or IT manager is going to be able to start at a grassroots level to control collaboration tool creep. "Most IT shops probably have something already in use whether they're aware of it or not," said Li. "We had a groundswell of Yammer usage before we adopted it officially."
Softchoice recently decided to standardize on Box as its file-sharing collaboration tool, after it was discovered through our audit how many employees were already using it independently. "We found out there were actually 138 users using the free version of Box, tied to their softchoice.com email address," said Li. "It led us to believe they were using it for work purposes, and they adopted it before we formally introduced it to our environment."
That's the case in almost every organization these days, he added. Whether employees are using Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs or any other free version of a collaboration tool, it's clear employees want to use these tools for work, at work.
Avoid islands of collaboration
Developing a common vision for collaboration involves cross-functional change management. "This is not a project that IT can execute on an island and then deploy," said Li. "You need to secure business ownership outside of IT and get on the same page with what their requirements are and set a common direction."
That means talking to business managers, finding out what their needs are, presenting them with the recommended solution and making sure they sign off on it.
"Even that's not enough," said Li. "You need their sponsorship to ensure success." That means, for example, when choosing Box as the company's file-sharing standard, business managers need to support that — and manage users who might be using other tools.
"To get ROI on Box we can't have pockets of the organization using Dropbox or Evernote or Google Docs," he said. "That creates islands of collaboration."
Measure, Assess, Re-invest
While Li says it can be difficult to come up with a tangible ROI, it's important to look at the adoption of collaboration tools. If people aren't using them, it's hard to justify the investment.
To measure adoption, his team is looking to put together a comprehensive scorecard, which scores different types of collaboration (say, if someone uploads a file on Box, or if someone holds a multi-participant Lync meeting). That helps to provide visibility into which departments are leveraging the tools more than others, and which users or departments might need more training.
Veronica Skender, customer/technical training instructor with Softchoice, heads up a pilot program to train internal employees on Lync. The goal is to eventually train the entire company on Lync, as well as provide a framework for training on other collaboration tools.
During the vision workshop, she discovered that a lot of employees didn't know the ins and outs of using Lync. In one case, an employee was holding meetings with remote staff across North America, using cameras pointed at a real whiteboard. "It's so simple to just show her how to use the built-in whiteboard available right on her screen," said Skender.
After introducing the pilot program, Skender says the use of the company's traditional audio-conferencing bridge has decreased significantly, while the use of Lync has increased — which is exactly what she was hoping would happen. The goal is to eventually get rid of the audio-conferencing bridge, which costs thousands of dollars each month.
The Vision Workshop has helped the Softchoice team create a common vision around how we collaborate. This benefits not only employees, but ultimately helps us deliver even better services to clients through thought leadership, expertise and best practices gained in the process.

Denied Coverage? Our High Risk Car Insurance Can Help!
The definition of a high risk driver differs depending on the insurance company, but put simply, a high risk driver has a high chance of filing a claim. Many insurance companies will deny you service if they think that your policy is going to cost more than they charge. However, having insurance is a legal requirement, so don't despair if you are denied. We can help get you insured and back on the road while you transition to a normal policy.
High risk insurance doesn't have to be a difficult process. It's going to be more expensive than the best auto insurance rates, but contact us and we'll do our best to find the right coverage for you.
Confused about why you were denied by an insurance company? Let's take a look at how high risk car insurance happens.
Reasons You Might be Classified as High Risk for Car Insurance
- DUI / DWI: In addition to costing you a large amount of money, coming with potential jail time and a license suspension, a DUI conviction follows you for an amount of time defined by the state.
A DUI stays on your record …
- In Alabama, five years
- In Arkansas, five years
- In Georgia, the rest of your life
- In Illinois, the rest of your life
- In Indiana, the rest of your life
- In Oklahoma, ten years
- In Tennessee, ten years
- In Texas, the rest of your life
- Until your record is clear, you are likely to face denials of service, and higher premiums from insurance providers, due to the seriousness of the offense. You are also likely to need an SR-22 to prove that you are meeting minimum insurance requirements.
- Other Serious Violations: Other road violations and driving related criminal charges can put you into the high risk category. Speeding, driving without a license, driving recklessly or causing a fatality can flag you as high risk for future insurance.
- Serious Accidents and Driving Record: Being involved in an accident that causes an injury or a lot of property damage, or having a large number of incidents on your driving record can cause you to become high risk.
- Lapse in Auto Insurance Coverage: Driving without insurance is not legal, anywhere in the US. Not only does it expose you to huge financial risk, but it can become very difficult to get insurance in the future.
- Other factors, such as exotic or collectible cars, poor credit history, being a new driver or a driver over 70 can cause a high risk classification. Teenagers can often avoid high risk coverage by getting insured under their parents' plan, and senior drivers can mitigate their premiums with defensive driving courses.
How to Transition Away From High Risk Car Insurance
It may not be a quick and easy process, but it's possible to demonstrate that you are making efforts to mitigate your risk. This could result in lower premiums.
- Keep a clean record! It really is the best way to go about it. In many states, points and convictions eventually leave your driving record. In the meantime, avoiding further incidents is the best way to ensure that you can transition to standard insurance rates. As a general rule, if you can keep a clean record for at least 3 consecutive years, we can start the conversation about lower rates.
- Take Defensive Driving Courses. They won't remove violations from your record, but they can remove points accrued from minor tickets in order to clear up your driving record. Plus, demonstrating that you are attempting to improve your driving goes a long way!
- Buy a Safe Car. Getting a car with a good safety rating, and a low theft risk can reduce your risk, and therefore your rates.
We can help get you on track to normalizing your insurance premiums. Request a high risk car insurance quote.

Your Second MN DWI Offense
A lot of people that I have worked with - as an experienced Minnesota DWI Attorney - have said: "I will never drink and drive, again." And then ... "Again" happens. The State of Minnesota's Drunk Driving laws makes it clear that repeat drunk driving offenders will encounter harsh penalties.
Criminal Penalties
If you hated your first trip to court for a DWI ... you're really going to his like Round 2. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, law enforcement arrest in upwards of 30,000 people every year for driving while intoxicated. Upon conviction, these people face both criminal and civil/administrative offenses. The public saftey department asserts that people with multiple DWI offenses, over a 10-year period, could encounter the following consequences from a criminal perspective:
For a second offense in which the person's blood alcohol concentration was under 0.16, the defendant could face a fine of up to $3,000 and up to serving one-year in jail.
For a second offense in which the blood alcohol concentration was at or above 0.016, or for any third offense, the defendant could receive a gross misdemeanor charge that carries with it up to a year in prison and up to $3,000 in fines.
For any fourth offense, a defendant will be charged with a felony and face up to seven years in prison and up to a $14,000 fine.Criminal DWI convictions will remain a part of people's records for the rest of their lives.
This can have a serious effect on finding employment and suitable housing, especially when the charge is a felony. Convicted felons also lose some of their constitutional rights, such as owning firearms.
Aggravating factors
The above-listed penalties give judges some leeway when handing down a sentence. When there are aggravating factors present, an offender could face the mandatory minimum penalties available under the law. For example, a second DWI offense alone may be classified as a 3rd Degree Gross Misdemeanor. However, if a child was in the vehicle, the crime, while still categorized as a gross misdemeanor, could lead to a second degree DWI charge and cost you your vehicle. Additionally, if the defendant caused an accident that led to property damage or the serious injury or death of another person, prosecutors could bring more severe charges.
Test refusal
Minnesota's implied consent law dictates that anyone who is arrested on suspicion of drunk driving must submit to a chemical test of either the blood, breath or urine. The test will be administered within two hours of the time someone was last driving. Refusing to take the test will have consequences, including automatic revocation of the driver's license.Just like the above penalties, the repercussions of refusing a test grow more serious with multiple offenses. Someone with no prior convictions faces a one-year's long license revocation. However, anyone with prior convictions will have to add that one-year time-frame to any current license restrictions.
Administrative Penalties
As anyone who has been through a DWI knows ... the consquences do not end in the courtroom with criminal sanctions. In fact, for some people, the civil/administrative penalties for DWI can be far more inconvenient. According to the DPS, anyone convicted of multiple DWI charges will have to forfeit their motor vehicle and their license plates will be impounded.The administrative penalties for people with two drunk driving offenses are based on their blood alcohol concentration. For those with a BAC of less than 0.16, they may choose between an ignition interlock device installed on their vehicles and a restricted license for one year, or a total loss of driving privileges for that timeframe. A BAC of 0.16 or over merits the same choices but extends the timeframe to two years.
As an experienced MN DWI Lawyer, I have observed individuals who have three DWI convictions have their driver's licenses cancelled because they have been deemed "inimical to public safety." To get back to driving, these people often have to enroll in a treatment facility. And ... they will have one year of a limited license with the use of an ignition interlock. After treatment completion, they will have two years of an ignition interlock with a restricted license.

MN Mandatory DWI Sentences (Explained)
Minnesota's DWI Laws are some of the toughest in the nation. And, although a judge might have some discretion as to what your punishment will be --- an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney can help get you out of some of the most serious consequences - including some of the "mandatory" conditions.
BTW, this dog was NOT arrested for a DWI. But, if he was ... I'd suggest he get FREE ANSWERS from a good lawyer.
Mandatory MN DWI Sentences
If you are a repeat Minnesota DWI offender (within ten years of a past conviction,) there are "mandatory" minimum sentences that judges are "required" by state law to impose.
One thing you need to know ... in the eyes of the Minnesota DWI law, the term "incarceration" can mean more than just jail. It can also include: remote electronic alcohol monitoring (REAM) or home detention (EHM).
Here are the "mandatory" sentences the courts are require to impose for repeat offenders:
Second Offense In a Ten Year Period: A judge must sentence the offender to 30 days of incarceration with minimum of at least 48 hours of time in a jail or workhouse.
Third Offense In a Ten Year Period: 90 days incarceration minimum --- with at least 30 days of incarceration - served consecutively in a jail or workhouse.
Fourth Offense In a Ten Year Period (a Felony): 180 days incarceration minimum– At least 30 days of incarceration must be served consecutively in a jail or workhouse.
If you or someone you love has caught a DWI charge, you can contact the Rolloff Law Office to learn you options ... and find out how to beat these "mandatory" conditions. Call today to set up your fee consultation: (612) 234-1165

Isanti County Criminal Defense Attorney - Domestic Assault
A domestic assault charge is very serious because of the consequences - in court and out --- before court and after - that can occur.
If you or someone you love has been charged with domestic violence, the possible consequences can include jail time, fines, anger management, probation, and an order for protection --- that prevents contact with the victim and any minor children.
What Should You Do?
First, it can't hurt to talk to a qualified and aggressive Minneapolis Criminal Defense Attorney to get answers about how to secure a good result in the case.
All too often, domestic violence claims are the result of a divorce, retaliation, custody battles, and other personal matters. While law enforcement in Minnesota aggressively pursues domestic violence claims --- my experience (both as a prosecutor and a defense lawyer) has shown me that these are tough cases to prove and that sometimes allegations are false. Shoot, even when a claim has merit, that does not mean that someone will be convicted. There may be facts in each case that do not warrant the huge penalties and/or for a parent to be separated from family by way of an order for protection.
Fighting Domestic Violence Claims
Domestic violence penalties in the State of Minnesota are serious. In addition to fine, jail, and probation ... a person's right to own or purchase firearms can be effected as well.
In addition to the domestic violence accusation itself --- which could lead to criminal charges --- there is also the chance someone can use that situation to gain an order for protection. The complaining witness can acquire this order just with her/his claim.
Don't Screw Around
The moment the charges are filed, it is very important to call an experienced Twin Cities Criminal Defense Attorney. For, as I have told 1000s of clients, just because there is an accusation doesn't mean that conviction will follow. And, just because the case may seem confusing and difficult doesn't mean that there is no hope for a more an acceptable outcome. With the right attorney --- you can get the right advice, guidance, and support ... so that you can keep this situation from getting any more complicated.
Domestic Assault is a serious accusation. If you are facing such a charge, it is important to seek representation that you can count on. To learn more about your rights and options, call The Rolloff Law Office at (612) 234-1165 to schedule a free consultation.

Notes from the Ether – January 25, 2016
This week's Notes are from the Witchlings Deck of Spells by Paulina Cassidy. I haven't used these in awhile and they were calling to me. The message is to pay attention to your dreams and clear out the energy around you to help get needed clarity.
Our dreams are very powerful things; they connect us to our higher selves, to a higher source, to our guides, even to those who've gone before us. Even though a lot of the time they don't make sense or don't really have any messages that are significant, they are a way to get meaningful information because we are disconnected to our ego self when we're asleep. When we disconnect from our ego self, we can get information that we would otherwise ignore. It's always a good idea to have a notebook and pen next you your bed in case you do have any dream messages; write down everything you can remember as soon as you wake up, otherwise you may forget the details later on.
I'm sure you've heard about the important of cleansing multiple times, maybe to the point of "geez, this again?" but it really is very important to do on a regular basis. This isn't just dusting and vacuuming, it's also cleaning the energy in your home and around you, in your aura, as well as mentally. The term "like attracts like" applies here; we are made up of energy just like everything else in the universe. So as beings of energy, we attract energy and sometimes the energy we attract is not so nice. It's like your TV screen attracting dust; if you never dust it, the dust just keeps building up until you can barely see what's on the screen. The same goes for your energy field. Sage is one of the best ways to clear energy and it's readily available just about anywhere.
Having clarity makes it so much easier to make not only day to day decisions, but also those major ones that come up from time to time. Clarity is key to knowing whether to go one way or go another way. This is where the cleansing comes in. Clearing out the cobwebs and clutter from your energy field and physical environment helps you to get a better connection to your higher self as well as the divine in order to get answers when you need them.
Pay attention to your dreams, especially vivid ones, I feel that some of us are getting important information that we may not be recognizing; if you have a pen and paper next to your bed, you can write down any details, whether or not they seem important at the time doesn't matter. Writing down the details will give you something to refer back to later on. Some of these messages may not be getting through because of a "dusty" energy field. It's important to clear your energy, and your environment, often so you can get the clarity you need to recognize important message being given to you through your dreams.

July 17, 1987, Section C, Page 14Buy Reprints
IN a quiet way, the Museum of Modern Art is doing precisely what it ought to do in mounting an exhibition called ''Iliazd and the Illustrated Book.'' Not only does it have an echo out of all proportion to its size, but it also introduces to the museum's huge public a man who lived the adventure of our century to the full.
It was something of a secret after World War II that one of the most rewarding people in Paris was a man who liked to be addressed simply as Iliazd. He was known - when known at all - as the architect, designer and publisher of illustrated books in which, one after another, the great surviving names of the School of Paris played a part.
The names in question, in alphabetical order, were Georges Braque, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso. When it is added that cameo appearances in other books of his were made by Chagall, Laurens, Leger, Masson and Matisse, it will be clear that during the years in question (1949-1974), Iliazd was, at the very least, a champion persuader, But even in Paris, the market for very expensive illustrated books is not large. As they are often bought with investment in mind, it helps to have a big safe name on the title page. It was those names that sold the books. If the public for them had heard of Iliazd at all, they probably thought of him as someone who rode in the trunk of the Rolls-Royce while the big safe names got to sit up front and tell the chauffeur where to go.
In this, they did him a great injustice. Iliazd had had, on the contrary, an importance all his own since before World War I. His full name was Ilia Zdanevitch. He was born in Tiflis, Georgia, in 1894, and went on to excel as poet, geographer, book designer, mountain climber, printer, publisher, fabric designer for Sonia Delaunay and Coco Chanel, pioneer dismantler of language, idiosyncratic stage performer and organizer in the early 1920's of some of the last of the great classic artists' balls. In none of all this was he in the least like anyone else. (His marriage in 1942 to a Nigerian princess may be advanced as further proof of that.) A founder member of what has come to be known as Russian Futurism, Iliazd got up in the Polytechnical Museum in Moscow when he was only 19 and told his listeners that ''an American show is more beautiful than the Venus of Milo.'' In the same year, he emphasized the unity of mankind and architecture by painting house numbers on his face and going out in the street. Fired by the expressive potential of vocables that had broken free of conventional meaning, he aspired to compose ballets in which the steps would be determined not by music, but by simultaneous recitation in which every syllable would stand for a step and ''the acceleration of the vowels, with or without accentuation, would determine the character of that step.''
It is a tribute to Iliazd's force of personality that he actually got to perform in one of his ballets in Paris in 1923. As late as 1947, he insisted on doing a dance for Henri Matisse in hopes of getting him to make an engraving for one of his books. (Matisse laughed aloud when he saw the dance, and Iliazd got the engraving.)
Incidents of this kind (and they were many) might suggest that like many another Russian emigre in Paris, he was a born survivor who stretched a little talent a very long way. But it is the lesson of the Modern Museum show, which has been organized by Audrey Isselbacher, assistant curator in the museum, that although Iliazd had a highly developed and irrepressible comic sense, his aim was to rethink the very notion of the illustrated book.
It is relevant that he had been in at the birth of the Russian avant-garde, at a time when the ''artist's book'' was not a luxurious object of commerce but something likely to be blockprinted on wrapping paper and tied together with string. He learned once and for all that it is ideas, not fancy paper and dandified type, that make a book memorable.
Thus fortified, he learned to draw with words, the way other people draw with pen or pencil. He learned that paper does not have to be folded in any particular way, that pages do not all have to be the same size, and that words can be broken up and made to dance, or fly, or stand on their heads, quite still. ''The meaning of a poem changes according to the way in which it is laid out,'' he liked to say, and both Apollinaire and Mayakovsky were there to prove him right.
A man of the theater, he wanted drama to be implicit in every turn of the page. Found papers were as interesting to him as ones ordered from the best supplier in town, and if butcher's paper or blue candy paper came his way he was delighted to put it to use. By folding the pages in three, he compelled the reader to unfold and refold, thereby heightening the element of revelation that should be fundamental to reading. He could make magic with every kind of paper, from transparent colored tissue paper to beige, gray and white Auvergne and Japan papers that had been imported into France in 1906 and could still be bought in 1958. He had in mind the silent and solitary reader, but he also had in mind someone who might want to read aloud, and he made sure that both of them were paced, guided and generally coaxed along by what at first sight seemed to be very unorthodox procedures.
The exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art will be dominated for most visitors by the late but ever-inventive publications in which Iliazd enlisted great masters of the day as equal partners. Rarely was there as great a perfectionist as Iliazd, when it came to making a book. (One of his collaborators spoke of his ''impossible demands and total disgust at half-measures and approximations.'') But they went along with his ''impossible demands.'' Even Picasso was ready to incorporate, almost unchanged, material from a 14th-century manuscript that Iliazd considered to be indispensable. And when we tour the Modern Museum we see that it was all thoroughly worthwhile. We also know why Iliazd called his one-man publishing house ''The 41st Degree'' - a name that stood at one and the same time for the latitude of Tiflis, the alcoholic content of brandy and the Celsius measure of the point at which fever leads to delirium. To this day, the poets and playwrights of Tiflis are remarkable for their freedom of mind, pervasive high spirits and delight in strong drink. Somewhere in all of them, a flame like Iliazd's is still burning. (Through Aug. 18 at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53d Street.)

White Sox acquire pitcher Francisco Liriano from Minnesota in exchange for Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernandez
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Chicago White Sox have acquired left-handed pitcher Francisco Liriano from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for infielder Eduardo Escobar and left-hander Pedro Hernandez.
Liriano, 28, is 3-10 with a 5.31 ERA (59 ER/100.0 IP) and 109 strikeouts in 22 games (17 starts) for the Twins in 2012. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder ranks third in the American League in strikeouts per 9.0 IP (9.81) and has limited lefties to a .195 (15-77) average. He lost his last start on July 23 at the White Sox (7 ER/2.2 IP) after posting a 2.84 ERA (20 ER/63.1 IP) with 77 strikeouts in his previous 10 outings.
Liriano has gone 50-52 with a 4.33 ERA (377 ER/783.1 IP) and 788 strikeouts in 156 career games (130 starts) over eight major-league seasons, all with Minnesota. The native of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic has held left-handers to a career .224 (150-669) average with six home runs, and has averaged 9.05 strikeouts per 9.0 IP, fourth-best among active lefty starters behind Clayton Kershaw (9.26), Jonathan Sanchez (9.14) and Oliver Perez (9.12). Liriano's 422 strikeouts since the start of the 2010 season rank seventh among AL lefties.
His best season came as a rookie in 2006 when he went 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA (29 ER/121.0 IP) and 144 strikeouts in 28 games (16 starts) and was named to the AL All-Star Team. Liriano was named AL Comeback Player of the Year in 2010 after going 14-10 with a 3.62 ERA (77 ER/191.2 IP) and 201 strikeouts in 31 starts for the AL Central champions. His 201 strikeouts ranked fifth in the AL and were the seventh-highest total by a left-hander in Twins history.
Liriano threw the fifth no-hitter in Twins history and third in U.S. Cellular Field history on May 3, 2011 against the White Sox and was the Twins Opening Day starter in 2009. He has pitched in two postseason games, making a relief appearance in the 2009 ALDS vs. New York and starting Game 1 of the 2010 ALDS vs. the Yankees.
Liriano was acquired by the Twins from San Francisco on November 14, 2003 with pitchers Boof Bonser and Joe Nathan in return for catcher A.J. Pierzynski.
Escobar, 23, is batting .207 (18-87) with no home runs and three RBI in 36 games this season with Chicago. The switch-hitting rookie appeared in 22 games at third base, six at second, four at shortstop and one in left field.
Escobar originally was signed by Chicago as a free agent on January 28, 2006.
Hernandez, 23, has combined to go 8-2 with a 2.94 ERA (28 ER/85.2 IP) and 54 strikeouts in 15 appearances (14 starts) this season between Class AA Birmingham and Class AAA Charlotte this season. He made his major-league debut for the White Sox in a start on July 18 at Boston, allowing eight runs on 12 hits over 4.0 IP of a losing effort.
Hernandez was acquired from San Diego on December 31, 2011 with pitcher Simon Castro in exchange for outfielder Carlos Quentin.
This is the first trade between the teams since April 30, 1986 when the White Sox sent pitchers Juan Agosto and Kurt Walker to Minnesota for pitcher Pete Filson.
The White Sox will make a corresponding roster move prior to tomorrow's series finale in Texas.
