Where Is the Brand Activation for Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos Sponsors?
UFC on Fox Sponsorship Activation Non-Existent Leading Into Their UFC Heavyweight Championship Bout
"Activation includes events, promotions, retail display, outdoor, digital, CRM (customer relationship management), direct, and other such services."
The endemic brands are not taking credit or touting the investment made and their success of that investment and the non-endemic brands that have signed on are not activating leading up to this historical event. Why not? What am I missing? Is this not a dream come true?
Look at how well Anderson Silva is doing in his home country of Brazil. He is landing marquee deals with Nike and Burger King. Junior is a very likable and marketable guy, especially in Brazil. Both Mexico and Brazil would be ecstatic to have their Countrymen as the reigning UFC Champion. Yet it appears that nothing is happening. If it is happening and the activation is coming post the event, then that is just a recipe for disaster.
We are never going to attract the NASCAR type of sponsors if what we call marketing is ironing a decal on a pair of shorts. Here at Ingrained Media we have brought in main stream electronic companies, main stream boating companies, large auto manufacturers, drink companies, huge musical talent and more. We have brought them into the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Provided them with activation and total marketing solutions. All of these companies expected activation and marketing solutions that went above and beyond logo placement. That is why we have talent on the preliminary cards getting bigger name sponsorship deals then most of the main card talent.
MMA Athletes are not commodities and these opportunities that are being created by others (mainly Zuffa) can be life changing events. What does it matter if you are fighting for the UFC Heavyweight Belt, if the guy you beat is busy counting his cash, paying off his homes (yes homes) and cars? What is the actual goal? To be a World Champion or to be able to support your family and not be in the struggle? I would rather have my talent be rich than famous. The sad part of the UFC on Fox event is that you could actually have both. These managers or agents had an opportunity to change the lives of their fighters, open flood gates for their talent, and the future of the sport. They have not done that and I guess I just do not understand why.
– If you combine the FOX and FOX Deportes telecasts (one in Spanish, one in English), it would have received close to a 3.5 rating with 6.2 million viewers and a peak of 8.8 million and a M18-34 rating of 4.7. It is believed a peak close to 9 million was achieved combining both.
– The 4.3 rating in Males 18-34 beat every college football game this season except the LSU vs Alabama game on CBS.
– The 4.3 rating in Males 18-34 beat 65% of the playoff and World Series baseball games this season on FOX.
– The 4.3 rating in Males 18-34 was the third highest rated television show of the year for FOX Deportes.
– The show drew 1.7 million women over the age of 18.
– The median age of viewers for the telecast was 35 years old.
– The 5.7 million viewers was the most watched fight in broadcast on US television since HBO's Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko back in 2003
– UFC programming delivered a total of 6.7 million impressions across all FSMG television networks.
– The peak of 8.8 million lasted as long as the fight did, which was 1 minute (fight started at 9:40 pm).
– By 9:45 pm, the viewership had dropped to 5.9 million. Kimbo Slice vs James Thompson peaked at 6.51 million and lasted for 10 minutes and 38 seconds. (Sports Illustrated) … about 25% of the audience had left at the end of the main event.
– UFC on FOX began with 5.2 million viewers and dipped as low as 4.4 million before viewership started to climb around 9:36 pm, as the fighters were starting to make their way to the Octogon. (Sports Illustrated)
Brazil Ratings on TV Globo:
– The event peaked at 22M viewers in Brazil, and during the fight (1 minute), it reached a 20 rating and a 52% share (percentage of homes with TV's). The ratings were above average for a Sunday morning. (Globo)

Look Who's Loving the Bike – May
As you know, at the top of each month we like to feature stories and memories of why people are loving the bike. Please take a look at our May lovers…..feel free to submit yours to us at any time (Don't be shy – Send them here).
Louise Neal – Darlington, UK
"I am the Cycling Officer for Darlington Borough Council, the only town to be both a Sustainable Travel Demonstration and Cycling Demonstration Town. I am lucky that where I live is surrounded by great countryside for getting out and about on the bike. I use the bike for work journeys, leisure, fitness – a bit of everything. I'll give any type of cycling a go – this year I'm definitely going to give mountain biking a try! My best cycling memory was getting a red Raleigh Apple for Christmas when I was about 6 and taking it out for its first spin on Christmas Day and falling off after realising that my dad was no longer holding the back of the saddle. But my best cycling experience has to be leading the Tour of Britain out of Darlington in September 2009. Being part of such a big event was definitely the most memorable cycling experience I've had."
Matt Swiatek – Lehigh Valley, PA
"I love the bike for its countless benefits such as improved health, increased happiness, and true freedom. I love the bike for the camaraderie it offers; some of my best friends in life I've met through the bike, and it helps me stay in contact with old friends as well. The bike can help transcend obstacles in life, helps you push beyond limits and discover that you've always got more to offer. When I race, the bike is an extension of body; when I ride the simplest of days, the bike is an extension of mind. I love the bike beyond the tangible aspects such as carbon tubes and aluminum components. I love the bike for the pure joy it brings to me when I ride."

Jeff Bean – San Diego, CA
"Riding a bike is part of who I am. I'm a cyclist, as well as husband, father, uncle, brother and friend. I started cycling early in life with a Huffy, complete with banana seat and sissy bar. I later progressed to a coveted Schwinn newspaper bike with kick-back hub before reaching a holy grail of sorts in college in the 1980s with my first Bianchi in the glorious bluish green hue of Celeste #227. That road bike cost me an extra year in studies. I missed many a biology lab in lieu of epic rides away from "the city." On a bicycle, I was free to unlock my mind and explore far beyond that which I could read in books or hear in lectures. Today, I alternate between two road bikes and a mountain bike, each loved equally and rotated by season or situation. And I keep exploring.
To ride a bicycle is to be alive, to feel your heart beating in your ears, blood coursing through your temples, celebrating the elements. A cold wind may brace your face. A withering heat might destroy your resolve to go far. And a 100-year rainstorm may drown your enthusiasm. But only momentarily, for a day or two, maximum. That's right. The ride's the thing. Being on a bike is that dayum good. You'll ride under almost any circumstances because you love it. It's part of your persona. It makes you happy. It gives you peace. It's right with the world. That's why I ride."

Nicoper – USA
"Long ago, back in summer 2005 while I was still competing on junior levels, there was one day that I will never forget. It was summer brake and one of the hottest summers since I was riding. All my teammates were either in training camp with national team or simply didn't feel like training in such heat. I don't know why, but one day I set out alone with a plan to ride some 130 km through semi-mountain terrain. I left my home in 6:15 with breakfast in my pockets an some money to replenish my reserves later on. It was work day and I was just amazed how empty the world was. It was unbelievable, the road that I feared the most had no cars, trucks, not even buses. It was only me, clear sky, no wind and 25-30 degrees C. About half way from where I started I turned back home taking different route that included one 12km climb on Kosmaj mountain. Again everything was amazingly quiet, I could here my heart beating like mad, my fork squeaking when I got up from saddle, feel my legs burning and I haven't seen I single man or women by the road. The world was mine. When I was near the top I was drenched in my sweet, with only half a bidon of water and 50km to go. Moment I got up I felt cold wind and there was before me I massive formation of dark clouds going my way that I haven't seen to that point as I was constantly riding away from them. Soon rain started pouring wind was blowing me from one side of the road to the next (I had 59 kilos and 172cm). In a same time I was glad that the heat was gone, scared to death that I will be hit by I car or a thunder and tired as I was riding into the wind.
I came home at half past ten. Belgrade was dry, no rain fell there, my brother had just got up and started his breakfast, and I just went to have a shower. Happy, tired, dirty.
Why I love it? In those four hours I experienced more, seen more and thought of more things than probably all of those who have seen that day just as one more till the weekend. I know this is probably glorified version of what happened, for sure I have forgotten all the bad things, but what I remember and how I remember it is what is important. Right?"
Sabinna Den – Taichung, Taiwan
"Cycling the other weekend something occurred to me…and this is what I like about going for a ride. Ordinary things seem different. Like an ordinary bike ride suddenly becomes "that" ride, on "that" Sunday that will forever be associated with something you think, or something that happens. No ride is ever the same. Everything is always different, even if just a little bit. A route I often take is a 50km circuit through the hills just out of town. I've done this so many times. But the light, the colors, the smells, the feeling, especially the feeling are all a bit different, sometimes a lot different…and the tune that you sometimes hum in your head as you spin along the tarmac–it's usually always different. And then there's the times when you get it all out of your head and are just simply cycling. Cycling, music and bikes (road, cyclocross, Bmx, mountain, folding etc. and the massive variation within all of those), all resemble each other, although I think music, classical music is the big picture item here. A piece of music like Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony (I think it's got it all) is made up of waves of variation. There's always variation with allegro to crescendo as the storm comes, thru andante as you move into the climb, and moderato on the descent (of course!). It's not that only a cyclist knows the feeling. But cycling for me, as well as being involved in the bicycle industry, sure is a great way to get in tune with life's constant variability."

Myrna Mibus – Webster, MN
"One of my most memorable biking memories includes learning how to bike with my ever-cheerful-when-biking husband. We were biking up an enormous hill last summer shortly after I decided to do a 30 mile charity ride. This was just a few weeks after I started riding and I didn't know anything about riding hills and had never been out on real roads and my hubby Owen kept chatting away, attempting to offer encouragement while I struggled up the hill. I didn't want encouragement, or maybe I just didn't want his encouragement. I wanted to be miserable or something, to struggle in silence, so the next time he said something "helpful" I told him to eff off. Whoops. Not a very nice thing to say. But he was annoying me and that's what I did (Don't tell my mother. I'm 43 but she doesn't know I swear). I told him I was sorry but I'm embarrassed to say I didn't do so until the road flattened out and the hills were behind us.
In the next few weeks before the 30 mile tour I learned to ride hills on my own and gained confidence. Owen learned to be quiet when he rode hills with me. 😉 By the time we rode the 30 mile tour we had ridden together enough that we could ride together pretty well without any swearing at Owen on my part. Though I will admit to swearing in general a few times when we tackled big hills.
This spring we bought road bikes and have decided that biking is what we do and now we joke about the days when I used to swear at Owen. We ride up hills, down hills and across flat land pretty well together now, are enjoying our new bikes and the time we spend together riding them. Now our kids, Rose is nearly eleven and Ryan almost 8, are biking with us and we're looking forward to logging many, many, miles together. We're all Loving the Bike!"

Thank u @shushyturin for this great winter soup recipe!
- 3 large zucchini (with skins)
- 1 bunch of thin asparagus
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 Tbl unsalted butter
- 1 Tbl dry sherry
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 5 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 2 large dashes of Kosher salt
- 1 dash of fresh ground pepper
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (for Parma Crisps)
1. Top a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls (use a tablespoon) on to the liner into little mounds, then press them flat. Bake in 400 degree oven between 5 and 8 minutes (depending upon your oven). Once cooked remove from liner and serve with the soup. I make these while the soup is simmering. 1/2 cup grated cheese makes 9 to 12 crisps.
1. In heavy saucepan melt butter, and add the chopped onion and garlic. Stir till onion is translucent.
2. Wash vegetables and pat dry. Quick chop the zucchini into small chunks and add to pot. Cut off bottom of asparagus stocks (the woody section), and then rough chop the asparagus and add to pot. Cook for about 5 minutes till the veggies get some brown on them, stirring the entire time.
3. Once veggies are brown, add the chicken broth and bring the soup to a boil, then turn down heat. cover the pot, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
4. Vegetables should be soft but still keep their green color. Test the vegetables by pressing them against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. The vegetables are cooked when they smash against the side but still hold their shape.
5. Take the soup off the stove and using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients till it starts to thicken. I like the immersion blender over a food processor as the clean-up is much easier and I don't make a big mess on my side counter, as I do when I use the food processor.
6. Just before serving add the sherry, mix well and pour into soup bowls. Add a bit of heavy cream to top, and affix one parmesan crisp in center and serve a couple on the side.

WASHINGTON — The Phillies placed Cliff Lee on trade waivers, according to a report by Yahoo! Sports, which is merely standard procedure this time of year. Most teams place a majority of their players on waivers after Aug. 1 regardless if they intend on trading them or not.
Lee is likely to go unclaimed because he is owed approximately $95 million through 2015. If a team claims him, the Phillies can pull him back, negotiate a trade with the claimant, or simply allow that team to absorb his entire contract. It's highly doubtful anyone claims Lee for risk of inheriting a massive commitment.
The Phillies, a baseball source says, were not willing to assume any of Lee's remaining salary during trade talks before July 31. They were also asking for a bounty of top prospects in return.
Lee has a no-trade clause that prevents a deal to 21 teams without his consent.
For those reasons, any Lee deal now or in the wintertime, is dubious unless Ruben Amaro Jr.'s demands change.
"They told us those were rumors and there wasn't anything really in the works," Lee said Tuesday. "Ruben did tell me some teams did propose some stuff to him, but nothing that even made close to sense for the Phillies. I signed here to win here. Obviously nobody is happy the way this year has gone, but this is where I want to be. We still have a lot of talent."

More on:
As the days go by and the Assad regime kills more peaceful demonstrators, U.S. policy becomes less and less possible to comprehend, much less defend.
The latest news makes the situation there even clearer and more horrifying: "At least 10,000 protesters have been detained in the past several days in a mass arrest campaign aimed at quelling a seven-week uprising in Syria against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, activists said, as fresh shelling of a residential neighborhood was reported on Wednesday from Homs, the country's third largest city. The shelling, most intense between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., appeared to signal a further escalation in the crackdown."
U.S. policy in the face of these horrors has been weak. Last Friday Secretary Clinton was still saying Assad might be a reformer. The president has yet to say one word about Syria himself. A statement was issued a couple of weeks ago, but he has not yet said anything on camera to denounce the regime's violence or support the demonstrators. Our new sanctions do not name Assad. The Syrian ambassador remains here in Washington and ours remains in Damascus—even after a member of the embassy staff was detained by Syrian police, hooded, and beaten. The net effect is to make Syrians and Lebanese who are struggling for freedom wonder why the United States is still supporting Assad.
Good question. Here are some possibilities.
Theory One: Sheer incompetence.
In this take, the administration doesn't want Assad to stay in power but its Middle East hands are overwhelmed by events in the region and very slow to react. Perhaps this reflects a deep seated view in the State Department that we must and can do business with Assad. That view certainly spread to Capitol Hill, where in the last few years then-Speaker Pelosi and Senator John Kerry were among its supporters. In the administration's defense, U.S. policy toward Syria has been unproductive for a long time, under several presidents. In the Bush administration, Syria was for some years isolated successfully; we even persuaded EU foreign ministers to stay away. But it's evident that there were neither sufficient carrots to get Assad to change nor sufficient sticks to force him to do so or to bring him down. In those years Syria was jihadi central: every jihadi who wanted to travel to Iraq to kill Americans went through Damascus International Airport, and we did nothing in response. So failed policies toward Syria are nothing new.
Theory Two: The Vogue View.
Perhaps current policy is explained by the remnants, the detritus, of the older "Bashar is a young reformer" view. Assad was seen as someone who wanted change, was modern and had lived in London, spoke good English, and –above all!-- had a young and glamorous wife. Secretary Clinton cannot seem to shake this sentiment. (Vogue Magazine has removed the puff piece on Assad's wife from its internet site, and one can only wish it were as easy to erase from Western minds the underlying nonsense about Assad being a reformer.)
Theory Three: Can't Admit Mistakes.
Here, the administration knows the policy approach it had adopted and defended is dead, but is unwilling to admit it-- not yet anyway. It is unwilling, for example, to admit that sending an ambassador to Damascus was a mistake. This defensiveness is eroding far too slowly but if this theory is right it will not prevent a better policy, sooner or later. The problem is that the regime will have killed a lot more Syrians by then and may have crushed the protest movement.
Theory Four: The Engagement is Still On.
Under this theory, the administration is adhering to its initial policy of engagement with Syria (as with Iran). This would explain its apparent blindness to the remarkable strategic gains for the United States if Iran loses its only Arab ally, its border with Israel (through Hamas), and its Mediterranean port (in northern Syria). Perhaps the administration is still praying for Israel-Syria peace talks, especially now that peace talks with the new Hamas/Fatah coalition are obviously impossible. This would help explain the more general misunderstanding of how important it is that those Arab regimes that resist change with guns must lose, and lose fast.
Theory Five: Defeatism.
Perhaps the administration has concluded that Assad simply will not lose, but will survive under any realistic set of circumstances. The Sunni elites and the army have not deserted the regime and will not, they may think, so he'll be there and there is no point in making relations with him worse or in prolonging the violence. This, if true, would be a remarkably defeatist policy and I would argue a dishonorable one. It will have a broad impact in the region, especially on how those fighting for democracy—and those fighting against it—view the United States.
Theory Six: The Brotherhood is Coming
It may be that the administration agrees with those who say any successor regime in Damascus will be worse, as it will come under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood or some other form of extremism. No evidence is ever offered for this conclusion, though it is a mantra I have heard for years. The Brotherhood is very weak in Syria—far weaker than in Egypt, where the Administration called for Mubarak's departure. Assad's jails are full of political prisoners who could man a new government, and in the protest movement itself there is no evidence of extremist influences--yet. And here is the fatal flaw of this argument: surely if Assad wins and wreaks vengeance with a further reign of terror, extremists will gain influence. This whole experience would have led many Syrians to conclude that peaceful protest led by moderates is a bad bet, and the only real way forward is through terror and bloodshed.
Theory Seven: We Are Helpless.
This is the theory that we have no real influence in Syria and there isn't anything we can do anyway. But there are things we can do. We can act to make Syria a pariah state, as it now even more clearly deserves. We should seek a joint agreement with the EU and Canada that none of our foreign ministers will visit there nor will theirs be received in any Western capital. We should impose harsher sanctions, targeting more regime officials and starting at the top with Assad. We should put top regime officials and cronies on no-fly lists and bottle them up in Syria, and start denying landing rights to Syrian Arab Airlines. We should go after regime corruption, which is vast. We should supply more money for the opposition in Syria and in exile, if they want it and can make use of it. We should push again and again at the UN Human Rights Council and in other international bodies to keep Syria on the defensive and to show our moral and political support for the democracy movement.
It isn't possible for someone outside the White House to know which of these theories explaining its behavior are valid, and to what extent. But it is possible to see that whatever the basis for U.S. policy, it is failing and must be abandoned in favor of a far more assertive opposition to the vicious Assad regime and a far more energetic defense of the Syrians now struggling, and dying, to end a regime that has brought decades of repression, violence and terror.

Meet my talented niece Ruth Gindi! You may think that this party was personally decorated by Amy Atlas herself, but Ruth single handedly pulled off this fabulous DIY first birthday party for her little daughter in less than two weeks. When I was a kid, I was lucky if I got a birthday sponge cake layered with cherry and pineapple jam-(why on earth did my mom keep choosing those um….. yummy flavors??), and some balloons plastered onto the ceiling, but it seems that those memories are fading fast as we speed up to 2011!!!
Modern moms like Ruth Gindi take the cake when it comes to entertaining nowadays!! Ruth whisked through many gourmet kosher cookbooks for her party menu, but mentioned that she was especially inspired by Kosher Elegance, the new gorgeous cookbook by Efrat Libfroind. She also personally printed out all of the party invites and girly food printables at home on her printer.
So excited to post these pictures- thanks Ruth! Gorgeous job!!! Love, Auntie Marlene
"Hey Aunt Marlene !

TORONTO,ON – The Toronto Rock (4-7) were defeated 17-12 by the Rochester Knighthawks (8-3) on Saturday night at Air Canada Centre. After building a 9-5 halftime lead, the Rock were victimized by an 8-goal run that proved to be too much to recover from.
The Rock struck early in often and Colin Doyle was the man leading the way for Toronto, scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes. Rob Hellyer also chipped in with a pair of goals as the Rock led 6-3 after one.
An early power play gave the Rock even more first half momentum with a goal coming just 18 seconds into the frame. Doyle completed the first half hat trick and the Rock led 9-5 at the break. Rochester starter Matt Vinc was chased from the goal and replaced by Angus Goodleaf.
Rochester scored the first 7 goals of the third quarter and made it an 8-goal run overall after having scored the final goal of the first half. Toronto only mustered a single goal in the quarter and were outscored 8-1 overall as the Knighthawks led 13-10 at the end of three quarters.
The fourth quarter didn't prove to be much better for the Rock as the visiting Knighthawks continued to put goals on the board. Overall the Rock were outscored 12-2 in the second half.
Three members of the Rock recorded hat tricks as Doyle, Hellyer and Billings all connected. Rob Marshall, Stephan Leblanc and Josh Sanderson all scored once each.
Next up, the Rock travel to Minnesota on Sunday for 6pm game against the Swarm. Toronto's next home game is Sunday, March 30th against the Edmonton Rush at 3pm.

Three time Indy 500 champion and four time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti will not race anymore after his crash at the Houston Grand Prix. The risk of future injury is just too high.
Here it is straight from Dario:
Since my racing accident in Houston, I have been in the expert care of some of the leading doctors and nurses, all of whom have made my health, my safety and my recovery their top priority. I am eternally grateful for the medical care I have received over the last several weeks. I'd also like to thank my family and friends for their unbelievable support.
One month removed from the crash and based upon the expert advice of the doctors who have treated and assessed my head and spinal injuries post accident, it is their best medical opinion that I must stop racing. They have made it very clear that the risks involved in further racing are too great and could be detrimental to my long term well-being. Based on this medical advice, I have no choice but to stop.
I'm surprised, but not shocked. Dario's injuries in Houston weren't life threatening, but he's relatively older than many in the IndyCar field. While he'll heal up fine from these injuries, the long term risks of more injuries could impact him heavily down the line.
This also opens up one of the most sought after seats in the entire IndyCar paddock. Who will Chip Ganassi hire?

FORT WORTH, Texas — The parent company of American Airlines says it lost $1.66 billion in the first quarter, mostly on costs related to its bankruptcy restructuring.
AMR Corp. said Thursday that excluding bankruptcy costs and other special items, it would have lost $248 million, compared to a loss of $405 million a year ago.
American, the nation's No. 3 airline behind United and Delta, boosted revenue by 9.1 percent, to $6.04 billion. Revenue for each mile that passengers fly, a closely watched number in the airline business, grew 10.3 percent, much faster than at Southwest Airlines.
AMR said that average fares on American and the American Eagle regional-flying affiliate rose 7.4 percent over a year ago.
Despite higher prices, American was able to fill 79 percent of its seats, up from 77.1 percent a year ago. The number of flights was virtually unchanged, as American and other airlines continued to limit the supply of seats to control costs and drive up fares.
Like other airlines, American was dogged by higher fuel prices. AMR paid $3.24 per gallon for fuel, up from $2.76 per gallon in the first quarter of last year. Its fuel bill rose by $323 million, to $2.17 billion.
Labor costs rose $60 million, to $1.78 billion. AMR has about 88,000 employees.
AMR executives did not hold the traditional earnings-day conference call with investors. In a letter to employees, Chairman and CEO Thomas Horton said he was encouraged by this year's smaller operating loss, especially with an 18 percent increase in the price of fuel.
Horton said the increased revenue showed that American's strategy of focusing on five big U.S. hubs and international flying was working. He said the company recorded its best marks in several years for on-time flights and fewer lost bags and maintenance delays.
Horton also said he expects takeover speculation "to continue and to escalate." US Airways is openly talking about a possible merger with American, and other potential bidders have been rumored. Horton has said he's open to a merger but not until AMR emerges from bankruptcy protection.
Most of AMR's $1.4 billion of first-quarter restructuring costs were related to renegotiating or walking away from aircraft leases. It set aside $45 million to pay advisers such as lawyers and consultants in the bankruptcy case.
The first-quarter net loss amounted to $4.95 per share, compared with a net loss of $436 million, or $1.31 per share, a year ago. Except for one brief spike, AMR shares have traded below $1 since the company filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 29, and they were taken off the New York Stock Exchange.
AMR had $5.6 billion in cash and short-term investments as of March 31, compared with $4.8 billion shortly after it filed for Chapter 11.
AMR is trying to reduce debt and labor costs by eliminating more than 14,000 jobs, freezing pensions and throwing out union contracts that it claims drive up costs with unnecessary work rules.

Pressure Washing Services
Fuquay-Varina's #1 choice for pressure washing services.
House Washing
Many people think they need high pressure washing to clean their home. Actually, high pressure washing your house can cause damage to your siding and windows. The high pressure washing can take off paint, break seals, and allow water to get behind your vinyl - causing mold and mildew that you cannot see! Soft power washing uses low pressure washing and a combination of safe and effective cleaning solutions to take the mold, mildew, and dirt off your house without any damage.
Roof Cleaning
Our roof cleaning process will safely remove the black stains on your roof. These black stains are an algae or fungus common to warm, humid southern climates. Without roof cleaning, this fungus can drastically reduce the lifespan of your roof and diminish the curb appeal of your home. There is no need to replace your roof – we can clean it with our proprietary roof cleaning process! Our low pressure roof cleaning system is highly effective and comes with a 3 year roof cleaning warranty.
Driveways & Concrete
Our concrete cleaning process starts with the application of a 100% environmentally friendly "Green" cleaning product. Our proprietary foaming cleaner clings to surfaces and lifts out the dirt, mold and mildew that has set in over time. We then follow up with our controlled pressure washing with professional equipment that does not leave streaks or striping marks that you may see from "do-it-yourselfers" that do not have the right cleaners, equipment or training.
Deck Washing & Staining
Deck cleaning, staining, and restoration – we can do it all! Whether you need mold removed, a new deck stained, or an old deck completely restored, we are the company for you. We understand your deck is a part of your home, and having a clean, beautiful area to relax and host company is important. The warm, humid climate common to the Triangle area means that UV rays, mold, and fungus will take a toll on your deck. The best way to preserve the look and usefulness of your deck is to clean it annually.
Gutter Cleaning
The only way to effectively clean your gutters is by hand. Our process begins with moving any outdoor furniture and preparing your exterior for a safe cleaning. We will remove all debris from your gutters. Our technicians will Inspect and, if needed, unclog downspouts to keep your gutters clear and open. We will also test the entire network to make sure it works seamlessly during stormy weather. We will finish the process by cleaning up the debris and replacing your items that were moved.
Commercial Pressure Washing
There is no better option for single or multi-level apartment cleaning than Triangle Home and Deck. Our cleaning process is safe and efficient, and we ensure a smooth process with tenants. Inexperienced cleaners can be a headache and cause damage to your property. We are the Triangle areas most trusted pressure washing company. We are licensed and insured for commercial pressure washing. Give us a call today and let us clean your property the right way.
Why choose us for your pressure washing project?
My name is Richard Mounce and I am the owner and operator of Triangle Home and Deck. I am a husband to Katie and father to Stephen and Isaac—two awesome boys! Our family is settled in Wake Forest, and we have come to love and appreciate the entire Triangle area. My years of training and experience washing houses and servicing decks has given me a skill I am proud of to provide for my family and serve fellow homeowners.
I promise you honest communication, quality work, and a commitment to pay attention to your specific needs. At some point, everyone has just needed quality work at an affordable price with no hassle. I understand this simple, but hard to find concept and we are the company that can deliver this to you. I will deliver the safest, most effective and worry free solution to your home and deck cleaning needs.
SCAM ALERT: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Don't entrust your single largest investment to the $99 "traveling" pressure washers found on all the internet lists. They lure you in with their low price, provide a sub-par service and can cause significant damage to your home.

JAIPUR/ALWAR: While people across the country buy gold and silver to celebrate Diwali and Dhanteras, in Rajasthan's Mewat region girls are "purchased" to mark the occasion. It is the grim reality of rampant human trafficking in the region, consisting of Alwar, Bharatpur and Dholpur districts.
Girls bought before Diwali are married off to older men on the occasion of "Dev Uthani Ekadashi", considered an auspicious day — this year, it falls on November 24. Alwar police arrested two men earlier this month and rescued three girls who were to be sold on Diwali and then married off to much older men. Police records too show a rise in human trafficking cases during the two-three months prior to Diwali. The skewed sex ratio is considered the primary reason behind the trade.
Bharatpur's Sevar police had on November 12 raided a house in Ludhavai village and arrested two "agents". Cops also rescued three girls being kept captive there. "Two men – Supriya Kumar and Mukesh Upadhyaya — had purchased the girls from one Laxman Jat. The girls were residents of Jabalpur district in MP. The girls say they were lured to Bharatpur on the pretext of a religious fair. The agents later confined them and told them they would be sent to their in-laws on Diwali," said Sevar SHO Akhilesh Kumar.
One of the accused Supriya Kumar has cases of rape and human trafficking registered against him in Maharashtra. He told the police that he had so far brought about 50 girls to Mewat region and sold them.
SHO Kumar said the agents sell the girls before Diwali, preferably on Dhanteras, after getting some advance. These girls are then married to the buyer on some auspicious day. The agents get the rest of money on the day of the wedding. Cases of human trafficking were also reported in Dholpur district on October 5 and October 24. Rajendra Chouhan, in charge of Dholpur police's anti-human trafficking cell, said these cases take place throughout the year but the number increases during Diwali. Police said 25 cases of human trafficking were registered two months prior to Diwali in Dholpur district alone.

The following is a guest post by Angela Carter, marketing manager at ChartLogic.
A major concern physicians have dealt with over the past 10–15 years has been choosing the right EHR solution for their practice. With the rise and fall of numerous electronic health record companies, that concern has evolved to whether a chosen EHR will still be in business five years from now.
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), there are over 900 EHR vendors currently on the market, many of whom offer more than one product. In some ways, the huge number of EHR choices has been a good thing for healthcare; it has forced vendors to be more innovative and to cater to the needs of their users. However, the market can't possibly sustain this many similar projects for long. Eventually, small vendors will be swallowed up by larger vendors and many others will simply go out of business.
So how do you know if your EHR vendor will survive the EHR purge that has already started? Of course there is no way of knowing for sure, but below are a few questions you can ask yourself that will give you a good idea of your EHR's future.
1. How long has the vendor been in business?
Past performance is usually a good measuring stick for the future. Hundreds of vendors were born after the HITECH Act was passed in 2009, which means that most EHR vendors are still relatively new. Newer EHR companies aren't necessarily a bad thing—some of them are actually better than some of the legacy systems that have been around for decades—but be wary of any company that doesn't have the years in business to back it up. A vendor that has already proven it has weathered the EHR storms for 10–15 years will be much more likely to survive current and future challenges than the new, promising EHRs.
Don't just look at how long the vendor has been in business, though. Research the vendor's track record as well. If your vendor has a high retention rate—90 percent or higher—then you're in good company.
2. How usable is the EHR?
For years, doctors put up with EHRs that didn't meld with their workflow, but that tolerance is coming to an end. Black Book Rankings called 2013 "The Year of the Great EHR Switch" because most EHR implementations happened in practices that were on their second or third EHR. The reason for this shift? Usability. Eighty-seven percent of doctors cited usability as their primary complaint about EHRs. (Source: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/7/prweb10926499.htm)
For some reason it took many years for usability of EHR systems to catch on, but now that it has, the difficult-to-use systems will have a difficult time holding on to customers. Point-and-click EHRs have never been popular among physicians, especially those who see 50+ patients a day. EHRs that utilize voice technology, though, are growing in popularity. It is highly unlikely that any EHR system will cater 100 percent to a physician's needs and preferences, but voice offers much more flexibility than traditional point-and-click systems do, not to mention voice-driven systems are more likely to follow the workflow physicians already use.
3. How well does your vendor understand your specialty?
The reason the industry hasn't settled on just a couple of vendors by now is because workflow among different specialties varies so widely. Physicians need vendors that are very good at their specialty, not those that claim to answer to the needs of all physicians. A vendor that dedicates itself to producing and improving capabilities that align with your specific needs will take much better care of you. Not only that, but they will be more able to evolve with you as technological demands change, giving the company more stability in a shaky market.
4. How's the support?
Never underestimate the power of a good support team. Most EHRs aren't designed to work flawlessly fresh out of the box; you need adequate training and ongoing support, too. A recent Software Advice survey revealed that about 60 percent of respondents reported "learning to use the system" as a one of the main challenges with their EHR, even more challenging than achieving meaningful use or finding costs to support the system. (source: http://www.softwareadvice.com/medical/userview/ehr-survey/)
As a business metric, support may be even more powerful than usability, especially since federal regulations keep tightening, limiting the freedom to change certain aspects of an EHR. A vendor that communicates with its customers regularly will stand out.
5. Is the vendor ready for meaningful use stage 2? ICD-10?
Over a thousand vendors certified for meaningful use the first time around. Less than 40 of those vendors have received complete ambulatory certification required for 2014. Add ICD-10 to the mix and very few vendors will be able to keep up with these increasingly difficult technological advancements. Vendors that don't have a plan already in place regarding how they will re-certify for meaningful use and be ICD-10 compliant will be among the first to go.
A vendor that scores well in each of the five questions above will most likely have what it takes to make it through the next five years.
Angela Carter is a marketing manager at ChartLogic, an EHR for orthopedists, ENT doctors, and other specialists. In addition to managing all of the company's content, she writes regular blog posts for various health IT sites. She is also the associate editor for Utah Technology Magazine, a start-up magazine that aims to tell the tech story happening in Utah.

This morning's Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN found itself traversing very odd ground as panelist Trent Dilfer presented a package on what a great job Trent Dilfer did at making new ESPN hire Tim Tebow awesome at playing quarterback. How awesome? "Tom Brady" awesome, if you believe ESPN.
It's an odd turn from the network, which had previously finally acknowledged that yeah, maybe they went a bit overboard with the Tebow stuff. Of course, now that Tebow is pulling checks from the Mouse, everybody's back onboard to throat the NFL flameout. Even ESPN personalities who have nothing to do with Sunday NFL Countdown chimed in to praise all things Tebow:
That's helpful, Linda. The whole segment is a disaster, what from Trent Dilfer pimping his own quarterback development side-job while trying to get his colleague Tebow hired by an NFL team—and then you have random dudes who show up and say Tebow's as good as anybody in the league. Here's the full transcript as recorded by closed captioning:
A month ago i got a call from Tim Tebow asked me to come down to USC where he's been training and give him a brutally honest evaluation where he's at. As we know, this past week, ESPN and Tim worked upon a deal to work with the SEC Network however he last not given up on his dream to play as quarterback in the national football league. My job is to see if he can pass well enough for that dream to become a reality.
Actually, Trent, your job is on a news program, serving as an NFL analyst.
Tebow: Every day i push myself to the limit. Every day i'm going to find the most out of every day. I'm going to work, i'm going to strive.
>>You have to throw it earlier and stay compact. Perfect.
Tebow: I've been able to understand over the course of the last four, five months, what it means to have mechanics. What it means to have foot work. What it means to be able to control your body.
>>All right. Three step slant off coverage. I want it out. Right now. That's all i'll show you. Okay? That's why your ball on this side has a tendency to do that. Finish with some energy. There you go. Good, good. Nice, Tim.
Boy, that came off good, though.
The process of rebuilding Tim Tebow's throwing mechanics, started on the usc campus with performance analyst Tom Haas.
>>I've never had somebody this strong. Timing, see consequencing, mechanics.
Haas knows mechanics. Joe Flacco, Tom Brady have passed through his facility.
Who the hell is this Tom Haas guy? The closed captioning clearly identifies him as "Tom Haas," but here's how he's identified onscreen:
We Googled for both "Tom House" and "Tom Haas" with "3DQB" and nothing came up. ESPN is making an argument that Tim Tebow's skills are equivalent to some of the NFL's most elite quarterbacks based on the words of a guy we can't even find on the Internet. (Update: we found him.)
>>I considerably was looking at 20%, to 25% better with tim.
>>I remember looking at tom and saying, we got some work to do. If. I'm seeing a lot of mechanical issue, timing issues.
>>There had to be really hard days where 99.9% of people would have tapped out and you just must love football more than you love what football brings you to keep doing that. Is that fair?
Tebow: There's some question about that. There are a lot of time when you're just being honest about it that it can get tiring. It can get a little frustrating. And you have to find that place inside of you that wants it.
>>To watch day in and day out, the motivation involved, not just for this day or next week, but for every stinking moment of every day that you're here, it's a pretty strong motivation. That's what i saw with Tim.
>>Would you put at the top as much as you've ever seen?
>>Yeah. He's up there for me with a guy named Nolan Ryan. That's in the same sentence two different sports, but same motivational muscle.
There goes Tom Haas (House?) again! Now he's ranking Tebow right there with The Ryan Express! What other bullshit could ESPN wring out of this dude-who-might-not-even-exist?
>>For somebody tightening everything up, this flick to the wrist. This check down, run-aways, options. Those are the ones, quick, quick, throwing darts. You can beat them with the ball. Now, good. Good. Same speed now locate it right here. Zone! Good. Nice location, too. Right there. Everything was perfect. Everything was perfect. Start throwing it as you're going there. Don't get there and then throw it. One movement. There we go. Perfect. Boom.
>> Why keep this NFL dream alive when so many people out there say you shouldn't?
Tebow: Because i love it. And when you love something and you're passionate about something, you want to go after it. No matter what my outcome is, it's okay, because i'm not going to have to turn around and live with regrets and say, man, i wish i would have trained hard. I wish i would have pushed myself. I wish i would have done more. Because every day, i've pushed myself to the limit.
>>I spent 365 days of the year looking at quarterbacks. High school, college pros. I don't have all of the answers. I do know this. If you put Tim Tebow on a football field with four other NFL quarterbacks, you didn't know who they were, and just watched the ball. Don't watch the player, just watch the ball. You wouldn't know which one is Tim Tebow and you wouldn't know which one is the NFL quarterback. I want you to watch this in context. This is one of the greatest players to play college football and he didn't know how to pass. I believe now he knows how to pass. Every GM, every scout, every person out there should go at least watch Tim Tebow now, because it's a different guy.
[This has been a paid advertisement for Tim Tebow, professional American football quarterback.]

The event was held at the Pagoda Paris, a red Chinese-style building near Parc Monceau built in 1928 by Ching Tsai Loo, a collector and dealer of Asian art and antiques. The house, whose interiors are decorated with elaborate lacquer panels, recently reopened after two years of restoration. "I'm obsessed with it," said Humberto Leon, one half of the design duo at Kenzo. (Carol Lim was at home, looking after her baby girl.) "In this collection, there are Asian influences. It's all about the gods and goddesses of Chinese Buddhism and things like that, so I felt like this was a perfect place to showcase the collection." Guests enjoyed appetizers and Belvedere vodka cocktails created especially for the occasion, with names like Jungle of the Sky, Raindrop and Night Clouds.

2012 Christmas on Las Olas
The annual Christmas on Las Olas celebration, in downtown Fort Lauderdale, was bigger than ever this year. I say that only because I found the streets more crowded than I can remember.

Moonlight over flooded A1A along Fort Lauderdale Beach
Earlier this afternoon, bulldozers and front end loaders piled up the beach sand that covered A1A, in an attempt to keep the ocean out of the road. By 8:30pm, the ocean was back in the street, with the water level higher than the sidewalks.

Ocean floods A1A along Fort Lauderdale Beach
Click Images to Enlarge!!
A combination of weather, tides, and the moon caused major flooding on A1A, along Fort Lauderdale Beach today. Police had to close the road from NE 18th ST to Sunrise Blvd. Some residents were trapped or didn't want to cause damage to their vehicles by trying to drive through the salt water. There had been rain earlier in the day but the skies were clearing by high tide. I've photographed this event in the past but I've never seen it this bad. In 2008, it was an inconvenience but at least the road remained open. Are ocean levels rising? What is this going to look like in 10 years?

West Palm Beach 360 Degree Panorama
This is one of the first panoramas I've made with my new Nodal Ninja 3 panoramic head. For this shot, I used the Nodal Ninja to take 8 photos at 45 degree increments. The Nodal Ninja also allows you to position the camera to eliminate parallax.
I used Hugin to stitch the images together on my Macbook Pro. Hugin is free and very powerful but it has a little bit of a learning curve. There are numerous features I haven't even played with yet. After using Hugin, I ended up with a nice, wide, rectangular panorama.
Finally, I brought my "normal" panoramic image into Photoshop and used Polar Coordinates to create the image you see here. There are many tutorials on the web that explain how to do this, although I found some variation between them. At some point, I might do a complete tutorial of my own but I'm still figuring out some details and I don't like to teach something until I've mastered it myself. =)

Nikon D800 Sharpness Test - Tikidoll Sakura
The two photos above are from one of the first test shoots I did with my new Nikon D800 camera. My friend Tikidoll Sakura modeled one of her latest outfits. The area outlined in the first photo is enlarged in the second photo. Click on the second photo to see a 1:1 view of this area. No additional sharpening was applied to the image. I say "additional" because some sharpening is done in the camera at its default setting.
Before I purchased the D800, I was a little worried about sharpness because 1) many people were talking about it, and 2) Nikon offered a second version of the camera, the D800E. Nevertheless, I bought the regular D800 and I'm glad I did. After examining the images from this shoot, I cannot imagine the need for anything sharper. You can count the individual threads in the straps of the model's garter belt!
All of this extra sharpness actually created more work for me. I found myself retouching tiny little spots and specks that you would never see when the image is resized for the web or even for small print. I could have applied a small amount of blur or one of my noise filters to clean up the image but I wanted to leave the overall image untouched in order to demonstrate the sharpness of this camera.
Although the sharpness of the D800 goes beyond my expectations, some users might have trouble getting super sharp photos. This camera will test the limits of your lenses. If you are not using one of Nikon's sharpest lenses, you will not get the same results shown here. Also, I manually focus all of my shots to get the best results. You might find the camera is a little less forgiving when you are focusing. Because the D800 is a full frame camera, your depth of field will appear shallower than a DX camera, for a given lens.

Pineapple Grove, Delray Beach, FL
Tonight, I was wandering around Delray Beach again. I was looking for something unusual to photograph but nothing was really jumping out at me. I've photographed Delray many times before and I have a number of long exposures with trails from car taillights and so on. I just wanted something different. Earlier, I was talking to a woman who was also walking around with her camera, trying to get some interesting shots. One of her shots was a palm tree in Pineapple Grove, that was wrapped with "light rope". While her picture was nice, I wanted something more. I walked over to Pineapple Grove to see if anything there would inspire me. First, I climbed up in one of the planters and literally hugged one of the palm trees, in an effort to get an interesting shot. I was looking straight up the trunk of the tree. Nope, didn't do it. Finally, I reached in my bag and took out my fisheye lens. I lay down in the middle of the courtyard, flat on my back, with my head firmly against the ground, and took this shot. People thought I was nuts. One man came over to me with his wife and said he had to know what I was doing. I showed him the picture in my camera and he said, "Oh wow!! That's amaing!" and showed it to his wife.

Lamar Odom is getting help.
Khloe Kardashian Odom's husband of nearly four years has checked into rehab, less than a week after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, sources tell E! News.
Lamar was arrested at 3:54 a.m. on Friday after California Highway Patrol pulled him over for allegedly driving erratically while heading east on L.A.'s 101 Freeway. He was taken into custody and authorities later said that he refused to take a chemical sobriety test.

The 33-year-old NBA star was booked on misdemeanor charges of DUI and refusing to take a chemical test and released later that morning after posting bail.
A court date is scheduled for Sept. 27. Lamar is not compelled to appear alongside his attorney because the charges are misdemeanors.
"It only looks good for him to seek treatment," L.A. criminal defense attorney Troy Slaten, who is not involved with Lamar's case, told E! News last week, saying that he would recommend any client of his in the same situation to get help as soon as possible.
"It looks like you are addressing [the issue] before the court, before you are being forced to," Slaten said. "It looks good to do it on your own."

Today is September 11, Patriot Day, a moment in time that will also live in infamy.
On that day nine years ago, religion didn't matter, race wasn't an issue and your political party was a moot point. What was important was birthright – we were all Americans, united by God.
This week, a tragedy happened during war that has not happened since the Vietnam War and brought back the concept of this being "God's Country" – a Chaplain died in the line of duty, for his country and for Christ.
U.S. Army chaplain Capt. Dale Goetz, 43, was killed in the Arghandab River Valley in Afghanistan, when the convoy he was traveling in was struck by an improvised explosive device, according to the Department of Defense. Four other soldiers also were killed in the attack. Goetz was serving as the battalion chaplain for the 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment.
What was once a unifying issue has now become a political one. Dead soldiers are no longer symbols of bravery and honor; they are unwilling pawns in a slothful, apathetic game of Congressional chess. Case in point – this story.
Did you catch it? Anywhere?
It was news because of its calamitous significance, but hardly made a ripple in the sea of polluted water known as "breaking news." And why? There was no political leverage to be made. He was a Chaplain.
In the Christian media, that was a different story (take this blog, for example). Christian Post and Christianity Today both did a nice job covering statements and testimony of the Army chaplain:
"He had a great burden for the soldiers," recalled Jason Parker, pastor of High Country Baptist Church of Colorado Springs. "His specific prayer request was to see 300 soldiers come to Christ. He was also praying for God to call ten of those soldiers into the ministry. That was one of his specific prayer requests."
Get that. The man was more than a Chaplain to our stalwarts overseas; he was their pastor encouraging God's calling to manifest in – and through – their lives. Now that's news.
Goetz joined the Army one year before the disastrous events and today, his life serves as a stark reminder to the Body of Christ that there is a lot more to this drama in Afghanistan than some nappy bearded, extremist recluse that no one can find. Well, except for every TV camera working for Al Jazeera.
There is a dire need for prayer. We need to pray for our country, our troops and our government. That's a trinity that needs to be held in the highest regard, saints. What is going on over there has nothing to do with politics; it's all about purpose. We should be mindful of our troops more than on Veterans Day, Memorial Day and 9/11. They need prayer. They need God's people.
I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore. (Psalm 121 NIV)
May God bless all the men and women who serve our country with valor… and the men and women who serve them for Christ. Never forget… remember?
