Sample vials of CIELO + OLIYA
$7 credit to apply towards a full bottle
Veyali founder Gina Benedetto's love of botanicals began during forest outings in her youth. Inhaling the seasonal splendor around her created powerful scent memories and was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with plants and nature.
In 2008, she started experimenting with essential oils in her massage therapy practice. The plants began to unfold their magic through the vessel of aromatherapy but a whole new aromatic world also blossomed. What called out to her was something not artificial but clean and cruelty-free. Fragrances fresh from the fields and flowers told a different story than those manufactured in a laboratory and eliminated her headache-filled reaction to synthetics.
Gina weaved the scent-laden memories from her youth into a personal mission: channeling the spirit of nature into natural perfumes. She subsequently created Veyali and become not only a storyteller of scent but an advocate against the dangers of synthetic fragrance.
Now a studied botanical alchemist, she draws on her travels to natural locations far and wide, inspired by the purity of plant essences. Her debut line of elegant botanical perfumes and room sprays are truly…a breath of fresh air.
Gina lives and works in North Park, San Diego with her husband Karl and two tenacious rescue pups.

Residential Roofing Guide
In our residential roofing guide, we show how much a new roof costs, show you the roofing material options available to you, their life expectancy, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and more.
In this residential roofing guide, you'll find answers to the following questions.
Feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this page.
What are the different types of roof material?
Which roof material type is best?
What are asphalt shingles, modified bitumen?
What's a tile roof and a metal roof?
The life expectancy of asphalt shingles, tiles, metal and modified bitumen?
The pros and cons of a shingle roof, a tile roof, a metal roof and a modified bitumen roof?
How much does a new roof cost?
Cost to inspect a roof.
What are the different types of residential roofing materials?
Before modern technologies, natural materials such as grass and wood, were all we had to protect our homes. Although these natural roofs had an old-world charm, they were not without their disadvantages. Being natural, they were prone to burning, decay, mold, pests and infestations. They were also high maintenance.
Today, there are many roof material types available. Roof materials available today are resistant to fire and mold, are not attractive to birds and insects, are low maintenance, and can last for decades.
The 6 most common types of residential roof materials
In our residential roofing guide, we only mention the 6 most common roof materials for homes:
- asphalt shingles
- metal
- tile
- modified bitumen
- slate
- wood shake
We know some houses have 'built-up' and solar tiles on their roofs. However, we don't discuss those here because they are a lot less common. In our Commercial Roofing Guide, we discuss flat roof options that can also be used for residential purposes.
Asphalt Shingles
Metal roofing is most common in rural and mountain areas. At your local home improvement stores, metal roof panels come in either 24" or 36" widths. Common stock lengths are 8', 10' and 12'. However, when we install metal roofs, we cut the metal to order based upon the needs of the roof and homeowner. Those that choose metal panel roofs do so because they are somewhat easy to install, easily shed heavy snow and are low maintenance.
Clay tile roofs have been around for hundreds of years. Fired clay tiles date to around 3,000 BCE. Roof tiles, whether made of clay or concrete, come in a variety of shapes. Each tile is hung from the framework of a roof. Because the tiles are made of clay or concrete, they are naturally resistant to fire. Due to their weight, they are resistant to high-winds.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is like tar that's stuck to fiberglass fibers. It comes in rolls, which makes it easy to install. It is used only on flat or low slope roofs. It doesn't last as long as other residential roofing systems, however it is among the least expensive, at around $4.25/sf., total, on average. Read more about modified bitumen roofing.
Slate is a natural, fine-grained rock composed of clay and volcanic ash. The standard roof slate tile vary in size from 6" x 10" to 14" x 24". Just like clay or concrete tile, each slate tile is hung from the roof framework with a nail. Because slate is a natural stone product, they are resistant to fire and environmentally friendly. Nevertheless, we do not offer slate roofing.
Wood Shake
Traditionally, wood shake was made from split logs then formed to the desired shape. Wood shake is thin, usually 3/8" to 3/4" thick and 3" to 8" wide. Both wood shake and wood shingles are wedge-shaped. The difference between wood 'shake' and wood 'shingles' is; wood shingles are tapered. Because wood shake is a natural product, it is highly flammable, prone to mold and moss growth, doesn't last long and is high maintenance. We do not offer wood shake.
So, which roof material type is best?
The best roof material depends upon a few factors. Even the so-called 'best' can have problems if it's installed incorrectly. Also, the best roofing material, might not be the appropriate one for your roof's pitch. How do you determine the right roofing material for your roof's pitch?
However, generally asphalt shingles are considered the 'best' for the following reasons:
- affordable
- long-lasting
- easy to install
- easy to repair
- versatile
Don't care about cost?
If you don't care about cost, clay or concrete tiles last the longest. A tile roof can last hundreds of years, if properly installed. * However, your roof needs a minimum 15º pitch.
Get a lot of snow?
You might prefer a metal roof if you live in a region that gets a lot of snow due to metal's ability to quickly shed a lot of heavy snow.
Money a concern?
If money is the primary factor, stick with an asphalt shingle roof as it's your least expensive option to install or repair.
What are asphalt roof shingles?
Asphalt roof shingles are a type of roof covering that uses asphalt for waterproofing. A shingle is thin and rectangular, measuring 12" tall and 36" wide and less than 1/4" thick. The shingles overlap and seal to each other to cover a roof. Each shingle attaches to the roof deck with nails.
Read more about asphalt shingles.
The life expectancy of shingles
The life expectancy of asphalt shingles vary. For instance, it depends upon the manufacturer and the installer, among other factors. However, your average asphalt shingle should last between 15 and 20 years. Higher-end shingles, such as Owens Corning's TruDefinition Duration asphalt shingles, should last closer to 50 years.
Disadvantages of asphalt shingles.
On their own, there aren't any disadvantages to asphalt shingles. However, by comparison to a properly installed concrete tile roof, asphalt shingles don't last as long. (Remember, a properly installed tile roof could last hundreds of years.) Also, assuming you have a concrete tile roof that lasts hundreds of years, asphalt shingles could cost more over that same time span.
What is a tile roof?
Manufacturing companies make tiles from natural, often local, materials such as clay or concrete. Nails secure the tiles to the roof framework. A tile roof is completed by starting at the bottom part of the roof then overlapping the next row of tiles over those. Tiles come in a small variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.
Life expectancy of a tile roof.
A tile roof can last hundreds of years if properly installed and it hasn't been damaged. For example, it is rumored that in St. Augustine, Florida, there is still a working clay tile roof that dates to the 17th century. However, most of the tile, a tile roof lasts between 50 and 75 years.
Disadvantages of a tile roof.
Metal roofing
A metal roof is composed of sheets of metal (sheet metal) which are typically 24" or 36" wide and vary in length from 8', 10' or 12'. Each piece of sheet metal overlaps the previous sheet by 2". Between the sheets is adhesive. Sheet metal screws with rubber washers are used where the sheets overlap to secure the sheets to the roof deck.
Life expectancy of a metal roof.
Depending upon the materials used, the life expectancy of a metal roof is between 40 and 70 years, if installed correctly and it is not damaged. However, if poor or thin materials are used, or the roof is damaged, the life expectancy is serious shorter.
The advantages of a metal roof.
The disadvantages of a metal roof.
Modified bitumen roofing
Modified bitumen is asphalt that's been strengthed with rubber or plastic, and fiberglass fibers. It comes on a roll.
Life expectancy of a modified bitumen roof.
Who's it for?
Those with a flat or low slope roof. (Any roof that's less than 3:12 (14.04º) qualifies as low slope.)
The cost to replace a roof depends upon a few factors, such as material used and square foot of the roof.
Asphalt Shingles:
To replace asphalt shingles on a 2500 square foot roof with mid-grade asphalt shingles, expect to pay around $8500 ($3.40/sqft).
The same 2500 square foot roof with metal, expect around $23,750 ($9.50/sqft) to replace.
On that 2500 square foot roof, expect around $27,000 ($11/sqft) for tile.
Modified Bitumen:
Modified bitumen, plan on around $11,000 ($4.25/sqft) on that 2500 square foot roof.
What is the average roof repair cost?
The cost to repair a roof depends upon the material, type, and damage caused. Because asphalt shingles are the most common, let's use that as the roof material and compare three types of damage:
- a 1" diameter hole caused by a patio umbrella: $300
- chimney flashing damage: $750
- large tree branch damage: $1,500-$3,000
How much does it cost to inspect a roof?
The cost for us to inspect a roof is $0!

Storied Swell: Biggest Swell in 31 years SLAMS the South Bay
The biggest swell since '83 leaves behind a new chapter in South Bay surf history
Saturday's surf forecast predicted the biggest swell of the season. But no forecast could have predicted the local cultural impact, surf stories, and heroes made in what turned out to be the biggest day in 30 years.
Greg McEwan went for his early morning surf check with his gear in the truck. After checking the Redondo Beach Breakwall, he went home to make his kids breakfast.
"I was gone for 45 minutes, came back and the waves had jumped from 12 feet to 25 feet plus," he said. "Lifeguards shut the wall down for jumping off. With a short interval swell, the waves were as consistent it as it gets. It was relentless, like during the El Nino Swell of '83, when I was in 8th grade."
The only surfers out in the line-up were Chris Wells, Scott Johnson, Steve Howe, Marcelo Malinco, Brett Madden, Matt Walls, Randy Meistrell, Greg Browning, and Jim Hishfil.
"Everybody paddled out when it was smaller and then they were stuck out there with the swell coming in so fast. It was not clean or offshore and everybody took heavy beatings," McEwan said. "There was some panicking in the line-up. It was a life or death situation."
A lifeguard boat tried to rescue some of the surfers. With an increasing swell and the unpredictability of the line-up, the boat turned away,
"It was insane — the biggest day I have ever seen, and I've surfed every big swell since I was a kid, twice with only four people out," McEwan said. "Hats off to all of them."
The surfer that seemed to be on everybody's mind was local ripper Chris Wells.
"Wells caught the best waves of the day, after catching a few of the mid-range waves when some of the surfers went in," McEwan said. "He paddled back out. Chris is a nutpack."
Wells showed up right when the lifeguards and police began to close off the Breakwall.
"I saw that the cop was preoccupied so I made a dash for it." he said. "It was high tide and the swell was building, so I couldn't get all the way around to the jumping off point."
"I had to thread the needle into between the peaks," he said.
The swell continued to build.
"It changed so fast, breaking on the boil with waves feathering by the buoy." he said. "It was high tide and really dicey, one swell on top of a swell, wreck over wreck, overamp frothing."
Out on the horizon, Wells could see a massive set coming to slam the line-up.
"It was a four wave set," he said. "I was so far out, I could see the back of the Avenues. I've never been so far out in my life."
Eyes were "racooning" as the surfers began scratching west. Steve Howe made it over the first three and saw the fourth begin to break.
"After getting over the third one, a huge sloop, I saw Steve duck dive the fourth one," Wells said. "I thought to myself, 'If he's doing it, I can too!"
Howe's duck dive sent him all the way to the bottom, where he sprung off the sand, thirty feet below. Wells punched through, but got sucked back over the falls.
"I gave my Lost' 7-foot-2 gun a bear hug while falling all the way down to the trough backwards," he said. "Everything went quiet before I shot up and was tumbled four or five times before almost being washed to shore. It was a Hawaii style hold-down."
After taking the longest hold down on record at the Breakwell, Wells went back out.
"I wasn't going to let this one beat me," he said. "The next time a set pitched over me, I just ditched my board, like the other surfers."
By this time, the line-up either caught a wave in or just paddled in. Wells watched a lifeguard try to help out a few panicky surfers.
"A few of the guys were like, 'Yes I am totally out of my element," he said. "Greg Browning paddled somebody in on his broken board."
The waves were beginning to become impossible to catch as the wind whipped up a coastal eddy. The sailboat racing buoy, half a mile out ripped from its mooring.
"I saw the buoy go over the falls. It was heavy," Wells said. "With the swell increasing….it was time to go in."
"I came in on a huge right and went to shore," Well added. "The gnarly thing is, the El Nino swell of '83 was manageable. This swell was bigger, breaking further out, with more violent conditions. The heaviest day I've ever surfed."
After the line-up cleared and the police closed off access to the breakwall,Chris Rodriguez, with his eye on winning the "South Bay Big Wave Challenge" sprinted down to the the Hermosa and while pretending not to hear the lifeguards shouting stop, jumped off the end.
"He paddled the mile back to the break wall," Wells said. "By this time it was too big and gnarly and after waving off a jet ski three times, he accepted the jet ski's offer of a ride back to the harbor."
Sunday, the following day, Wells paddled back out with only three other guys in the line-up and surfed for four hours.
"The cops, lifeguards, and fire department still had it on lock down. They overreach, to the guys that have been surfing this place for 20-30 years," he said.
Other South Bay surf spots were also lit up by the swell.
65-year-old surf legend and Hermosa Beach Surf Walk of Fame honoree Mike Purpus was out in front of his apartment in Redondo Beach catching a few and taking a few 10-footers on the head One wave pushed him all the way to the bottom, where he had to do push-ups to get to the surface.
"The Avenues were 10-foot and the hill was at least twenty," Purpus said. "Hags looked like Raglan, New Zealand."
Even on a small day, the Torrance Beach "Burnout" break packs a lot of power. Surfers Alex Gray, Timmy Reyes, Connor Beatty, Steve Howe, Will Reid, and Natalie Anzivino all took waves in that past would have been deemed unrideable.
Gray, a 27-year old Palos Verdes native, is a rising star on the international big wave circuit and free surfing scene. Everybody was waiting to see what he'd do on the biggest day in recent South Bay history.
"We figured when I was getting some of the sets at B-wall, Alex got that bomb," Wells said.
"The bomb," as Wells described the 25-foot shorepound, just might be the biggest and gnarliest wave ridden ever in the South Bay. It's a wave that dropped Alex Gray into the legend category and will long be talked about.
"His bomb looked like Puerto Escondido and not from the South Bay," well said. "With Alex's big wave training and experience, only he could of or wanted to pull off that wave."

Taxonomy – The CRM/MarTech Stack
Surely you have seen some version of this image. When I first saw it, I had already been writing about these solutions for nearly 30 years. But it was still a major wakeup call. I was overlooking a lot of interesting solutions and I had failed to realize just how many new categories there were. So, I got to work expanding my coverage of all of this new stuff!
To begin exploring things, just click that blue button, "Map the Stack!" to the right. This is my "clickable" representation of all (Most all!) of the CRM solutions depicted in the image above. Pick any of the pages and you will see a list of the solutions in that category. As you will see, each line features a single solution. The logo on the far left is a clickable link that will take you to that solution's home page. If the company has cooperated with my review process, the clickable link in the center column will take you to my Software SnapShot for that solution. If I have already published my complete in-depth review as an Amazon Kindle book, the link in the far right column will take you to that page.
I use a broad definition of CRM – any use of technology that helps you take better care of your customers and sell more now!
I know, that covers a lot of ground! So, we do need a logical way to organize solutions to make meaningful comparisons. I developed this taxonomy by thinking groups within your organization engage with prospects and customers to help them move through your unique customer relationship life cycle. Then, there are specific tasks or challenges that are performed along the way. The ever-creative developer in the CRM industry has provided solutions to help with many of these tasks.
So, jump over to the next page to see just how this all sorts out!

POTUS Comes to LA, Gets Yelled at By Gays
President Barack Obama gave a speech at a fundraiser for Senator Barbara Boxer last night at the California Science Center. Members of Get Equal, the same folks who have been handcuffing themselves to the gate of the White House, heckled the president. We've seen those who want Don't Ask, Don't Tell repealed heckle former President Bill Clinton recently. This is not new. It's that Obama appeared to be thrown off by it, that's the notable thing.
It's also weird to see a politician get screamed at in LA. We're not really yellers here, we're more ignorers.
LA Weekly's Patrick Range McDonald wrote a very informative piece on last night.

This morning I woke up soiled from another wet dream, which is the second time this has happened to me in a week. And what's even more confusing is that I don't remember what I was dreaming about.
I can not go on living like this and I have to do something about it by finding a way to channel my energy into something a lot more constructive. I believe my dream had something to do with this young woman I chatted with online who from Hawaii; she had a pretty face and an awesome profile with a good description about herself and she is in perfect shape. At this point, were just getting to know one another as friends and I don't like rushing into something that could lead to serious consequences.
Right now, I have to make a amends for my accidental masturbation by confessing it here, then start over in making a clean pact to not give into temptation or become tempted by l***. Thanks for reading what I had to share and have a great weekend.

Instead of accidentally masturbating, if you're a decent looking dude, then you could find a decent looking chick, you could get her in your real house instead of a dream, get your p**** nice and hard, make her play with it, suck it, do really dirty things to you, you do really dirty things back to her - even if it only takes you 2 minutes (sounds like maybe you haven't had alot of s**, maybe I'm wrong), when you feel like you're going to drain your b****, grab the back of her head and e******** your sperm right into her dirty w**** mouth, and when you're done start allover again. Get her on her back, stick your dirty d*** in her mouth like it's a wet p**** & face f*** her until you're hard again, use her mouth, get your sweaty b**** smashing against her chin. Put your hand over her mouth, bend her over & stick your big h****** into her p**** without a rubber & jackhammer f*** her until you blast all your j*** up inside her (one BIG push at the end to make sure you bury it inside here the way you're supposed to, knock that b**** up good buddy). Video tape the whole thing so we can all watch. Just a couple suggestions there, ya know, do what you want.
Boys, men, DUDES have wet dreams, we think with our d**** most of the time whether we want to or not - if you have a moral problem with what's been going on, that's between you and your conscience, but enjoy it buddy, getting your (our) d**** off is one of the only free and really fun things we have anymore, relax, j*** off alot, let the wet dreams roll, clean your sheets (haha), and let yourself lighten up about it, not an issue in the least man.
What you did was engage in a natural act accommodating a natural urge. Stop thinking of it as a negative, as a failure and as something requiring confession. It's none of those things. Ease up on yourself. Give yourself a break. Relax.

California Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris said in an interview that she opposed the GOP measure because it set up an "untenable" system. Beyond the current 18-to-24 month vetting process, it would have required top federal officials to certify that individual refugees pose no threat. She recalled a heart-rending photo of a drowned Syrian toddler, part of a refugee family torn apart while trying to escape: "We can't allow the images of the tragedy of what happened in Paris to blind us to the image of a 3-year-old child who washed up on a Mediterranean beach." She said, "There is a drum beating, that the way to keep us safe is to keep outsiders out. That scares me. Ask native Americans: We are a country of immigrants." But, she added, "there's no question that we have to be vigilant."
Foreign policy has become an unusually prominent issue heading into the 2016 election cycle. President Obama has made a strong effort to avoid labeling the terrorism carried out in the name of religion "radical Islam." When asked for her take on that, Harris echoed President Obama saying "there are extremists who are using religion as a cloak to commit terror and terrorist acts. And I think it would be a mistake for any of us to mistake the religion for the terrorists. They can be distinguished. And they should be in our language as well as our policy approach."
She prefaced her remarks by pointing out the need to talk about Israel "because it is our strongest ally in the Middle East. And so we have to take that seriously and be guided by that reality, as it relates to issues that impact the Middle East."
The United States directly benefits from this military aid, creating higher paying jobs in the United States while keeping us safer with more advanced defense technology developed by the Israeli's.
Q: Do you support increasing military assistance for Afghanistan?
Q: Do you support increasing economic development assistance for Afghanistan?
Q: Should the United States continue to strike suspected terrorist targets in Pakistan?
Q: Do you support granting aid to countries when it is in the security interests of the United States?
Q: Should the United States support the creation of a Palestinian state?
Q: Do you support increasing sanctions on Iran if it continues to defy United Nations mandates?
Q: Do you support the withdrawal of United States troops from Iraq?
Q: Do you support the United States' involvement in free trade agreements?
La Riva adds, "I believe all U.S. bases outside of the country should be closed immediately."

Their back yard hosted a beautiful ceremony, followed by one of my all time favorite wedding photo sessions! We had a beautiful bridal party, gorgeous couple and amazing locations. We started out across the road for some family pics, then to some apple trees and an old train station. I got to shoot some natural light, as well as some flash, which is always nice to get a good variation in the photos. Suzanne and Devon were a dream to work with. They needed little to no direction and just did their own thing. They were naturals in front of the camera and so at ease in each other's arms. The way Devon looks at Suzanne is right out of a Nicholas Sparks book. And don't you all pretend like you haven't read a Nicholas Sparks book or seen one of the movies…. The W network plays The Notebook all the time.. and I can't be the only one flicking through the channels and getting sucked in. Anyways, the point of is Suzanne + Devon = Awesomeness.

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are pushing her to regain the motor skills that we take for granted, and she is doing her best.
I have made a card for her.... purchased from Trader Joe's. This is the outside.
The inside is too personal, even for my generally unabashed LJ.
It's the end of the month, the 14th day after Valentine's, and the 14th day of the new life, after the miracle. I will deliver her card and then go off to Share Ourselves Clinic in Costa Mesa.

With all the rain we are getting in California I had to make a homemade soup. I went to my favorite soup recipe box and made this vegetable soup with a twist…it was sooooo good I had to post it for you all to try!
Don't you love collecting new recipes? I love it, especially when I find a good recipe that I can make great…this is one of those recipes. I loved this recipe as it brought two of my favorite ingredients together, beans and olives…but in a soup???
This recipe is adapted by the Moosewood Cookbook, while this cookbook is not a current best seller, to me it's a must have in your collection as every recipe is delicious.
In a large 10.5 qt stock pan add onion, celery, carrots, salt and herbs
saute for 5-8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender
add zucchini, bell pepper and garlic
saute for 5-7 minutes or until the translucent
add water, tomato paste, beans, olive tapenade and lemon juice
cook for an additional 15 minutes. Serve with fresh diced tomatoes and chopped Italian parsley
This vegetable bean soup is fabulous served on a cold day and is great to freeze and serve another day. The olives bring a salty flavor to the vegetables and the broth and is that "twist" that I have never done before but I just loved. Please let me know what you think of this recipe!

What wood floor can I install over a concrete slab?
The challenge with installing a wood floor over a concrete slab, whether above or below grade, is attaching it. There are really only two economical options for this; full spread glue down, or a floating installation. Neither of these methods works for a solid hardwood floor, so your best option is an engineered wood floor.
Can we install a hardwood floor over an existing vinyl floor?
Yes, but only if you use a floating system. You can use either a click T&G system, or glue the T&G joint together. This is only available with an engineered hardwood floor product. If you try to nail or glue down over an existing vinyl floor, there is too much risk of movement or loss of adhesion bond, which can result in noisy floors or edge splintering.
Can I install a hardwood floor if I have pets?
Yes, but understand that most pets have nails or claws, and this will potentially damage your wood or the finish on that wood. Keeping pets nails well trimmed will help minimize damage. Note also that no hardwood manufacturers will warranty their floors or finishes against pet damage.
Can an engineered wood floor be refinished?
This is dependant on the thickness of the wear layer (the top layer of wood veneer), the effect you wish to achieve, and why you are wanting to refinish. The only real reason to sand down your floor is to change the colour. If this is desired, the wear layer must be a minimum of 3-4mm thick, and you must understand that all other finish effects (ie. microbevels, hand sculpting, wire brushing) will be lost when sanded down. All other reasons to refinish can usually be accomplished without the aggravation of a whole floor re-sanding. Stain repairs, fillers & putty, board replacements, etc. can do the trick in most cases, without the inconvenience and upset of a wholesale sanding and refinishing of the entire floor.
Can I use throw rugs on my hardwood floor?
Certainly. There are only a couple of things to watch for. Some rugs or mats with cheap backing can discolour your hardwood, or deteriorate and stick to the floor leaving a residue that is difficult to remove. Also, depending on the room's exposure to sunlight, flooring can fade or darken on the exposed areas, and stay the same under the rug where it is not exposed to light. This is called "picture framing" and can be avoided by occasionally changing the position of the rug, or removing it seasonally.
How do we stop a wood floor from gapping?
This is a problem unique to non-engineered wood flooring, and can be resolved by either ensuring you can maintain relative humidity between 35% - 55% year round, or use engineered hardwood which does not gap seasonally.
What is the difference between engineered wood flooring and solid wood flooring?
Solid wood flooring is made out of a single piece of wood. Engineered wood flooring is 100% wood, but instead of a single piece, it is made up of a number of different pieces of veneer, wood fillets, or fibreboard that are bonded together differently to improve certain performance features.
Yes. Colour change is dependant on the species of wood used, the stain or finish that is applied, and the exposure to natural light through windows or doors. Some species of wood darken with age, some get lighter. Stains tend to slowly fade a little bit over the years, and this is accelerated with exposure to increased light levels.
Generally yes. Styles and fashions change, and for the last decade or so, consumer's preferences have shifted to a more "character grade" of material. This kind of natural variation that occurs in the tree creates a unique looking floor that is one of a kind, and full of interest. Different species exhibit different colour extremes, and stains tend to unify the colour and reduce the variation a certain amount. Darker stains tend to have much less variation than lighter stains. Each floor is as individual as you are. Make sure you open a few boxes before installing to ensure you are getting the look you want. Installation of these floors is as much "art" as it is science. Ensure you are arranging the boards in a pleasing manner before permanently fastening, so that you get a random look that avoids areas that draw the eye to it.
Make sure you buy a cleaner that is recommended by your floor covering dealer. To avoid any confusion and to keep your warranty in effect, make sure you use Fuzion's line of "FuzClean" floor cleaning products. They are extremely affordable, eco-friendly, and they work!

The Vatican Museums receive as a gift the notebooks of one of its most illustrious directors: Bartolomeo Nogara
On Wednesday 2 May, thanks to the gift from Baroness Rosanella Lello Nogara and the ambassador Bernardino Osio, the Vatican Museums Historical Archive will receive 41 handwritten notebooks of Bartolomeo Nogara, distinguished Director General of the Pontifical Museums and Galleries from 1920 to 1954, the year of his death. At the moment of his appointment as Director of the Museums, on 1 October 1990, Nogara was able to benefit from a twenty-year knowledge of the Vatican cultural institutions: as Latin scriptor of the Vatican Apostolic Library and Special Director of the Gregorian Etruscan Museum from 1900, and Conservator of the Profane Museum of the Vatican Library from 1903.
He was the director who accompanied the Museums in the renovation process that followed the signing of the Conciliation between the Church and the Italian State in 1929, and in the structural changes that followed the birth of Vatican City State.
In his 34 years of service at the summit of the Pope's Museums, Nogara substantially renovated the administrative structure of the Institution, guiding it towards a new and modern phase, aimed at planned conservation, grass-roots campaigns of cataloguing and inventory-taking, and functional planning of restoration. In accordance with this approach, the Research Laboratories were established from 1923 to 1932, and the Cabinet for Scientific Research and Applications from 1939 to 1942, still fundamental to the activity of the Museums. Under his guidance new arrangements for the collections were inaugurated, the Missionary Ethnological Museum was created in the Lateran Palace, the new monumental entrance to the Museums was realized and a special building was constructed for the Vatican Pinacoteca, designed by the architect Luca Beltrami.
The generous donation of the notebooks, in which Nogara wrote down the salient events in his long and fruitful service and his reflections from 1921 to 1952, offer to the Museums a new and valuable source for the history of the Institution, which owes much to the esteemed Director.

Priceless artworks from two renowned painters have been returned to their rightful place on Italian gallery walls.
The paintings — "Holy family," by 18th century French painter Pierre-August Renoir and "Girls on the lawn," by 16th century Belgian artist Peter Paul Rubens — were swiped by an Israeli con man posing as a rabbi in April 2017, The Local reports.
Following an exhaustive 17-month investigation, Monza police recovered the artworks and returned them to Northern Italy in late July.
The paintings, worth millions, can be seen below:

The 2nd Super Robot Taisen OG introduces an "ability slot system" where each pilot and robot gets three ability slots. Twin Units, one in game piece with two robots and two pilots, have a total of twelve slots. You will have default abilities equipped when the game starts and if you defeat enemies you can obtain new ones. If you want to activate an effect you need three of the same abilities equipped to either your pilot or mech.
Scans from Famitsu also say you can adjust the difficulty for SR points and as an OG Saga series first there is an archive mode. The scans cut off after the headlines so we'll follow up with more information when it leaks out.

Zuri Girl's top Tips for an at-home Thanksgiving
1. Whole Turkeys can be pre-ordered at Globus and Jelmoli while frozen can often be found at larger Migros and the Oerlikon Market. Zuri Girl recommends ordering from the neighborhood butcher for a fresh, local turkey or the online organic shop farmy. Costs average at CHF 100 / turkey. Remember your oven size is likely quite smaller than an American oven so turkeys are a bit smaller to fit properly.
2. Cranberry, Stuffing & Bread Crumbs are often difficult to find in Zurich. Zuri Girl recommends the Sihl City COOP that has a large international section and "hard to find" products are often available. American Food Avenue, Junk Food.ch and American Market offer delivery of common American products.
3. Pumpkin & Butternut Squash: The Burkliplatz weekly market has an assortment of Autumn vegetables. There's an overwhelming number of varieties so be sure to speak with the merchant prior to purchasing.
4. Start new traditions and incorporate a Swiss Ingredient. Enjoy Sprungli for dessert or Glühwein for Apero. Girlfriends always get a 10% discount at Steinfels La Maision du Vin and free delivery for 6+ bottles.
Autumn is in the air with colorful hikes and vineyards celebrating the harvest season. Plan your weekend getaways with these special hotel offers, as low as CHF 135 per person for two nights!read more

A king will die at the hands of his own offspring, reads the prophecy of Chancellor Zofor. King Balor fears this most of all...
According to myth, the continent of Vyashion as well as the physical world was created by a god called Notoon. Although the continent's peoples universally worship Notoon, their shared faith has failed to bring unity. Vyashion's many races, from human to elf and vampire have maintained an uneasy peace amongst each other.
The source of the tension stems from the King Balor and the Dyneskal Empire.

I'm very shocked that this doesn't exist yet:
The legislation, cosponsored by dozens of Republicans, would create criminal penalties for doctors who allow infants to die rather than providing medical care after attempted abortion procedures. It mandates that a child born alive in an abortion clinic be transported to a hospital for further care. Health-care practitioners must report any violations of the law, and the bill institutes penalties for intentionally killing a newborn, including fines and up to five years' imprisonment.
Up to five years? For murder? I'm not getting this. How is it different from any other murder?
I don't see how anybody can be against this bill at all:
The bill's text doesn't mandate any particular kind of care at all; it requires that physicians "exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age."
Let's see how things develop but I hope the bill passes unanimously.

Just some fun stuff from Iranian news agencies:
Sheikh Naim Qassem, the deputy secretary-general of Lebanon's Hezbollah Islamic Resistance movement, … said, "Do not forget the usurper Israel. All the calamities in the region and the world are from Israel but this regime moves and uses its mercenaries, supporters and spy services. This regime is preparing for the 'Deal of the Century' (an American proposal for the Palestine issue) but due to the Islamic Resistance and the nation of Palestine, who said 'no' to the 'Deal of the Century,' Israel cannot advance anything. We are certain that as long as the Islamic Resistance exists in the region, no American and Israeli project will be implemented."
It's funny how you never hear J-Street say that Hezbollah or Iran are obstacles to peace.
Then again, J-Street agrees with Iran and its proxy terror group Hezbollah that the US proposal for peace is so hideous that all forces must be mustered to fight it.
Yes, to J-Street, Naim Qassem is an ally and the Israeli government is the enemy.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.

WEST HAVEN — A Guilford solar energy company wants to put what it believes could eventually be the largest solar farm in Connecticut atop the long-dormant former Spring Street landfill — which currently is West Haven's biggest tax scofflaw with more than $500,000 owed.
The proposed 4-megawatt project, which the company's CEO said could end up being 5 megawatts, would be a ground-mounted solar-generating facility on two privately-owned properties on Spring Street.
It would save the city about $1.46 million in electricity bills over the next 20 years, SolarUS Inc. CEO Stephen W. Elkins recently told city officials.
Joseph A. Riccio Jr., the city's commissioner of planning and development, said SolarUS has an option on 8 Spring St., which is 29.13 acres, and 2 Spring St., which is 12.94 acres.
Both currently are owned by Solid Waste Disposal Inc. of Connecticut.
Details of whether SolarUS Inc. would buy the property or lease it, and who would pay the back taxes — and over what period of time — are still being worked out, Riccio said.
Elkins pitched the project, which would involve installing a series of solar arrays atop the closed dump, last week to the City Council. SolarUS is a Guilford-based manufacturer, distributor and developer of solar products.
Similar arrays already are installed on other closed landfills in the area, including Hamden, North Haven and Bridgeport. The Bridgeport facility was described at one point as being in the 5-megawatt range.
"The partnership we are trying to form with SolarUS will be a huge benefit to West Haven in both lowering our energy costs long term and reducing our carbon footprint," Mayor Edward M. O'Brien said.
"We want to transform a former landfill into something very positive that will not only save us money but work to modernize our infrastructure," he said in a news release. O'Brien didn't attend the City Council meeting at which Elkins made his pitch.
Right now, the old landfill — which Solid Waste Disposal Inc. closed along with the smaller Helm Street landfill across Spring Street in the late 1980s — "is just laying there," Elkins told the council.
"Our proposal is to turn this into an active property," primarily using the southern face of the property, he said.
Among the benefits would be revamping what is now "a dead site," generating savings on the city's electricity bills, creating jobs and providing local electric generation, as well as reducing the city's greenhouse gases and contribution to global warming, Elkins said.
It would provide "a substantial carbon offset," Elkins told the council.
The array's environmental value in terms of carbon offset would be equivalent to 88,444 acres of forests, or an area six times the size of Manhattan, Elkins said. He pointed out that electric rates have increased an average of 3.5 percent per year in recent years.
The city would get a starting net meter discount of 10 percent — and annual energy savings of more than $70,000, he said.
In response to a question by City Councilman David Riccio, R-At Large, Elkins estimated the cost to install the arrays would be about $8 million.
"The city's only responsibility is to buy the power we produce," he said. West Haven "won't own it."
Leslie Naizby, revenue and asset management director in the city's Tax Collector's Office, confirmed Monday that Solid Waste Disposal Inc. has made no payments at all for more than 15 years on any of its three delinquent properties.
"All 3 properties are liened yearly," but "the city has been reluctant to incur the expense and potential liability to initiate a foreclosure action without a viable plan to address the environmental issues," Naizby said in an email.
"We've discussed it many times," she said in a telephone interview. "But the problem is, it's contaminated."
Solid Waste Disposal Inc. formerly was owned by the late Joseph Latella and the late Joseph E. "Chick" Celentano. It is now believed to be owned by their respective heirs or estates.
The company's last filing with the Secretary of the State's Office, in 2014, listed the corporation as active, Peter Celentano — the late Joe Latella's son — as president and Celentano, who died in 2015, as secretary and a director.
Its mailing address was listed as 183 Beach St., the now-vacant address of Celentano's Chick's Drive-In, which closed in late 2015 following Celentano's death.
The amount Solid Waste Disposal Inc. actually owes the city may be well in excess of $500,000. A 1995 story in the New Haven Register put the figure at $500,000 at that time — with no taxes having been paid at that point in more than 10 years.
Joseph Riccio said, with regard to why the city hasn't gone after Solid Waste for the money it owes, "I don't know the answer to that other than philosphically. … So if you take the property and the property has an environmental liability, what good is it?
"But we have often thought that that would be a good property for a solar farm," Riccio said. A solar installation offers "a good payout over 20 years, reduction of energy costs to the municipality for over 20 years."
"Right now we're going to negotiate with these individuals," he said. "They might want to close on the property or there might be a structured transaction where the city gets paid and the developer may own the property or the city may own the property."
He said it would be "best" for the city to get the entire back-tax figure up front, "but if that's going to be" a deal-breaker, "then maybe not."
But first, "they have to determine whether this is feasible from an engineering standpoint and an environmental standpoint and a financial standpoint," Riccio said. Whatever arrangement the city and the company reach "has to be reasonable and palatable to the public."
Elkins, whose grandparents lived in West Haven and whose father lived there as a child, said, "We have the capability to execute on the project, provided it pencils out." Negotiators are working out "the liability issue" and "the back taxes issue," he said.
But paying the back taxes "would be part and parcel of the deal — whether it's a one-shot payment or whether it's paid out over time," Elkins said. "That's one of the pieces of the deal to be worked out. Those are the hairy things. Building the system is no problem," he said.
"I heard their comments," said Joseph Riccio of city residents who asked at the Oct. 23 City Council meeting how the unpaid taxes on the dump could have ballooned to more than $500,000 when people get liened when they owe $300 on their car tax bills. "We're going to try to structure a deal that's a win-win for all.
"I'm negotiating a memorandum of understanding," Riccio said. "We'll go back to council for their approval. We'll see if we can come up with an agreement that's sustainable and will be beneficial for all … because that property just sitting there isn't doing anybody any good."
Elkins's proposal said SolarUS would finance the design, engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, interconnection, operation and maintenance of the solar photovoltaic system.
The proposal also said SolarUS would generate revenue from the energy produced on-site through the net meter allocation structure and the state Zero Emissions Renewable Energy Credit Program.

Another day, another Jacksonville Jaguars starter out the door.
NFL Network first reported that the Jaguars will send safety Ronnie Harrison to the Cleveland Browns. The Browns reportedly will send a 2021 fifth-round pick to Jacksonville.
This deal comes after Sunday's trade of Yannick Ngakoue to the Minnesota Vikings and the release of running back Leonard Fournette, who since has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That's now three players drafted in the top three rounds by the Jaguars who have been dumped in the past five days. Those three players started a combined 76 games for Jacksonville over the past two seasons.
The Browns lost second-round safety Grant Delpit to a season-ending injury when he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon back on Aug. 24.
Harrison, 23, was a third-round pick by Jacksonville in 2018. He started 14 games last season, intercepting two passes, notching two sacks and recovering one fumble.
Jaguars adding more draft ammo
The Jaguars, meanwhile, keep adding to their 2021 NFL draft till.
They now have two first-rounders (theirs and the Rams' picks), two second-rounders (theirs and the Vikings'), one third-rounder, two fourth-rounders (theirs and the Rams') and two fifth-rounders (theirs and the Browns'), plus a conditional fifth-rounder from the Vikings that can turn into a third-rounder if Minnesota wins the Super Bowl.
They've now lost a total of five starters from last season's defense dating back to last year. After trading Jalen Ramsey to the Rams late last season, they also moved Calais Campbell, A.J. Bouye, Ngakoue and Harrison in 2020.

Waushara County Emergency Medical Services was established in 1975. At that time, Waushara County purchased the ambulance that was being operated by the Poy Sippi Fire Department. For those of us who remember EMS in the 1970s, it was very different from the EMS of today. Treatment options were limited and equipment was primitive when compared to what we use today. In many cases equipment was designed and manufactured by crew members. These dedicated EMS providers from the early years definitely helped to shape what EMS has become today.
In 1984 the EMT-Intermediate program was implemented. This allowed EMTs to improve assessment skills and have more treatment options available to them and their patients. Shortly thereafter, In 1987, the EMT-Defibrillator program was put into place. This allowed the EMTs to provide potentially lifesaving electrical therapy to patients whose hearts were in rhythms not compatible with life. In 1997 the Paramedic interfacility program was started. This opened the door to our Paramedic Intercept pilot program and eventually full time Paramedic Intercept and Transfer program in 2001. In 2009 the service made the transition to ensuring at least one Paramedic on each ambulance at all times. Most recently, in 2013, WCEMS once again raised the bar by attaining State licensure at the Critical Care Paramedic level.
Today, WCEMS boasts a roster of 21 full-time and 25 part-time clinicians with licensure levels ranging from EMT to Critical Care Paramedic. With the continued support of the communities we serve, administration, physician medical direction, and Waushara County elected officials, WCEMS will continue to provide the quality out-of-hospital care that residents and visitors have come to expect.

ED2016 4/5 Reviews ED2016 Theatre Reviews
Mule (Omnibus)
By John Sampson | Published on Monday 15 August 2016
Cocaine is the straw that broke the mule's back in Kat Woods's bold new play. The two performers, Edith Poor and Aoife Lennon, excel in tandem, energetically traversing their way through the dynamic script. It leads them through a plethora of roles, accents and scenarios, in a dark exploration of how two desperate young women became convicted drug traffickers. 'Mule's' poignancy lies in its humanising portrayal of trafficking, juxtaposing the truth with the vilification presented by the media. The fickle nature of social media is intelligently examined, with its initial role as a force for good being quickly turned on its head. At its heart, this is a play about perceptions, which might just encourage you to think a little more before passing judgement.
Gilded Balloon Teviot, until 29 Aug.

With offices in Singapore and the USA, UP! Your Service works with a diverse clientele of businesses, associations and government agencies throughout the world, including such organizations as Parkway Health, Dubai Municipality, and Microsoft.
Customer Since: 2010
UP! Your Service enables organizations to quickly upgrade service performance and secure a sustainable advantage by building an uplifting service culture.
- 1567% increase in newsletter program growth.
- 30% increase in website traffic.
UP! Your Service does no push marketing; no list buying, no ads, no event marketing; the company's marketing strategy is based on creating pull in their chosen markets. Up! Your Service decided to implement technology to support that specific strategy. The company wanted:
- A higher-performance email marketing service than the one it already had, and better contact management options
- Integrated web capabilities such as forms, landing pages, and drip programs
- Website visitor tracking
- Real-time alerts from form submissions
Up! Your Service turned to Act-On for an integrated, automated marketing platform.
Shyam Kumar, Client Engagement Manager for UP! Your Service, says Act-On has taken his company to the next level.
Easy Email Campaigns
"In the year before we began using Act-On, we sent three newsletters. Now we send one a week. It's easy; I can set up and send a targeted newsletter in about ten minutes. I can track results by campaign and by segment, so I know what works and what doesn't."
"Making the simple complicated is commonplace in all software design. Making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's the creativity at Act-On."
Shyam Kumar
Client Engagement Manager
UP! Your Service
Generate Leads from the Website
"Our 'Contact Us' website form just wasn't enough. Using Act-On, we easily create and manage landing pages and forms. We know who visits our website, and because Act-On integrates all our marketing tools, we can score behavior across all channels. We get a total picture of our sales funnel, and leads we wouldn't have gotten before. Our sales team begins the day with the Act-On website visitors report; it's one of our biggest sources for qualified leads."
Close More Sales
"For us, a 'qualified lead' has gone through the information request hoops, reads our company newsletter, and has visited more than five specific website pages. Because Act-On tracks everything, we know immediately when a prospect reaches that benchmark. This all happens automatically, in real time, which means we can respond at the exact right moment."
Align Sales and Marketing
"We have three Act-On seats, two for marketing and one for sales. Sales and marketing structured the lead scoring system together, collaborating to determine how we'd value various behaviors. It was very easy, but the scoring system is extremely robust and flexible. We can add factors on the fly and get as granular as we need to."
Take Care of Existing Clients
"We use Act-On to nurture existing client relationships as well as prospects. We segment our clients into three main groups: B2E (decision makers in large organizations), B2S (decision makers in small organizations), and B2I (service enthusiasts). Depending on the group, we send relevant articles and white papers. With Act-On we can look at our clients' unique, individual profiles and see their history, including everything we've sent to them and how they responded. It works so well that I'm planning to use it to implement learning transfer and sustainability programs."
Manage Multiple Channels Easily
"One of the things we absolutely required was a clean and simple interface that would allow us to manage multiple types of programs with ease. Act-On delivers.
