My Profile
Luis Fraile
Visual Studio ALM
Luis began taking part in the community in around 2005, coinciding with the first version of the former Team System 2005. He had already been working on agile methodologies in the .Net environment since 2003. "I was fortunate enough to coincide with a great team on a project with Microsoft," he says, "And when Team System came out I saw that everything I was already familiar with could be applied in this new tool and I found that extremely interesting...". And so he began actively participating in forums, giving talks and lectures, entering into contact with groups of users. "I wanted everyone to find out about these tools and share my enthusiasm for them".
Luis has been engaged in software development since 1999 and has worked for different companies, as an independent professional, a project manager, in implementation, etc... He loves remembering his time with the Renacimiento team, to whom he is very grateful, in particular the people he worked with during that period. Now he faces a new professional challenge in the form of VS Anywhere, an extension of Visual Studio that allows for collaboration in development teams distributed both within the IDE itself and via a web browser, in real time with other developers, and which is being very well received.
His recognition as MVP has enabled him to meet and collaborate with a great many people, giving him fantastic experience both on a personal and on a professional level, connecting him to people all over the world. "The group of MVPs from Visual Studio is impressive on all levels, like the people from the Microsoft Product Group, they are always ready to collaborate with us," says Luis.
Luis can be seen frequently giving talks and lectures in different events organized by the Visual Studio technical community or by Microsoft. At present he is trying to relaunch the Madrid.Net users' group, in which he forms part of the coordination team. He frequently holds Hangouts with people interested in talking about ALM and development methodologies in general.
It is very easy to contact him on Twitter, where he shares content on Visual Studio ALM, and through his blog. Also, he loves meeting new people and is always willing to collaborate on events geared towards the community.
Luis excitedly remembers his early experiences as MVP, like the arrival of the first welcome e-mail and in particular his first MVP Global Summit: "I was used to reading blogs, books, articles etc. by certain people like Brian Harry, Buck Hodges or Sam Guckenheimer, among others. And having the opportunity to attend their talks and sit down to talk to them was incredible for me!

No it hasn't, none of the others have been. She needed to be taught how to edit, the whole series could and indeed should have been half the length it was and been better constructed with tighter plotting. Frankly by book 4 you can just read alternate pages and still not miss anything because she repeats herself so much.

I think with Pope it's that Mr. Kennedy effect. Pope was on fire right up until he went down with an injury. When he came back he lost that spark. Partly TNA's fault and partly Pope's as well. I'v been hearing rumblings that he hates playing the heel and desperately want's to be face. So he's playing the heel role as a face and it just doesn't work.
Good call with the Tara/Christian comparison.

Still no facebook app, yes, people want that. No meaningful fitness apps. No syncing/media management app (not a phone app). No US Bank, No US IngDirect. So what's the point of the 130k.
MS needs to stop spouting app numbers, and get the 10-20 apps the platform needs! I'm tellin' ya, if MS doesn't get it's app act together fast for Surface RT and WP8, all these cheap android devices that are proliferating are going to leave them permanently in the dust. I feel the Window of opportunity for serious challenge is closing quickly because MS has dropped the ball across the 8 board with lack of the right apps.
Edit: IMO, the tablet war is over. MS will not make significant inroads in the consumer space there. Android then iPad, and that's basically it. They dropped the ball with no middleware (Zune8/iTunes) and lack of killer apps. I'd like to be wrong, but I doubut it. Android tabs everywhere and they are actually fast.
I know you like to complain about WP but this app gap that you're objecting to is being filled for many of us. My bank just released its WP app and its great. I now have all the apps I need and while I might not represent everyone I'm an example of someone who is more than satisfied with the state of the WP Store.
Your Zune complaints are also getting boring. There's no need for a Zune client with WP8 as there are plenty of other ways to get music on to my phone.

I was a personal trainer for years and try to apply the knack that I have for personal fitness to my own career, pushing my body to its limits on a daily basis.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I began training when I was 16 years old. I had a lot of energy and drive and nothing to focus it on until I found martial arts.
What ranks and titles have you held? World War Cage Fighting Middleweight Champion, Ubersmash Middleweight Champion
Do you have any heroes? My mother
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means all the blood, sweat, and tears were all worth it. It means I've finally reached my goal.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Went to College, did not finish.

Many golfing-related injuries are a result of poor mechanics or overuse, particularly in golfers who are new to the game or play infrequently. Although golf isn't a contact sport, it puts significant demands on your body — which can easily lead to golf injuries. Follow these tips to stay in shape on the course.
Understanding the mechanics behind your golf swing can help you prevent golf injuries:
If you want to reduce the risk of golf injuries, consider taking lessons. What you learn about your golf swing may even help you shave strokes from your score.
There's more to golf than your golf swing. Consider other ways to lower your risk of golf injuries:
Safety on the course is also important. While golfing, be careful to limit your sun exposure. Protect your skin by using sunscreen. Wear sunglasses to filter out UVA and UVB rays, and wear a hat with a visor to shade your eyes and face.
Watch for signs and symptoms of dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Red flags might include a headache, dizziness, nausea, a rapid heartbeat or confusion. Drink plenty of water, and cut your game short if necessary.
And remember to keep an eye out for storms. Call it quits at the first sign of threatening skies or lightning.
Whether golf is a new interest or a lifelong passion, make the most of your time on the course by protecting yourself from golf injuries. Consider it all part of the game.

The 2 gallon fertilizer applicator (fertigator) is an easy-to-use, effective, and environmentally friendly automatic fertilizer dispensing system with hose thread connection for use in residential, commercial, grower and municipal applications with up to 12,000 square feet. Four precision settings can be selected using our easy-to-use feed adjustment knob on the top of each unit's cap for maximum proportioning flexibility.
The EZ-FLO All-in-One Garden Hose and Drip System Connections are commercial grade automatic fertilization (fertigation)and chemical application systems. These are the best high capacity hose-end feeders available to consumers and professional alike for distributing water-soluble fertilizers and chemicals evenly, at adjustable proportioning rates. The hose thread and drip connection units can attach to any hose bib (the end near the faucet) so the tank doesn't have to be carried with the hose when feeding. The units work with all water soluble and liquid fertilizers, which can be combined in the unit with other chemicals and nutrients to provide "All-In-One" plant and landscape care. This line of applicators is ideal for residential gardens, landscape applications, nurseries or small farms. The units use a patented flow process built on the principles of precision, port water entry, agitation and flow control to deliver non-hazardous fertilizers and supplements to your landscape.
Model No. Description Shipping Weight Diameter/height Coverage (2 months) Fertilizer Capacity
A051 3/4 Gallon Hose & Drip Connection 2 Lbs 6" x 9" 5,000 sq ft 5 lbs dry
A054 2 Gallon Hose & Drip Connection 5 Lbs 7" x 19" 12,000 sq ft 10 lbs dry
Note: In order for the applicator tank to operate properly if used with PVC pipe or with a sprinkler system, the system will need to have at least 120 GPH drawn from it. If the system uses less, then use PVC connector model A085, 3/4" or model A086 for 1" with each has a ball valve at the center coupling.
The most common installation of this applicator is to the faucet or hose bib, and in this type of installation the hose bib adapter is included. If the unit is installed into a faucet a backflow device is recommended; if installed with standard anti-siphon valve the backflow devise is not needed. If you use this unit for a sprinkler system we suggest ordering the PVC connector model A082 for 3/4" A083 for 1" or A084 for 2".
Set the flow adjustment on the cap
It is important to note that the applicator tanks are made of polyethylene plastic and the tank is not designed to withstand constant water pressure. The applicator should be depressurized after each use in order to ensure a long service life. The applicator can handle up to 80 PSI in operating mode, which is the maximum pressure suggested for this unit.
Fertilizer Distribution Rates
EZ-FLO's applicator ensures that the proportion of fertilizer to water remains constant from the beginning of the cycle until the tank is depleted of fertilizer.
The units have an adjustable cap with four basic settings relating to the amount of fertilizer mixed with the water. The proportionin
g rate
is determined by the connection type with the hose bib connection feeding at a faster rate than when a coupling connection is used.

Tourism authority CEO says conditions are 'nonstarters'
Mayor Bob Filner says he won't sign a long-term tourism marketing revenue deal unless it is reworked into a shorter pact that provides more money for the city of San Diego and better wages for hotel workers.
Filner says he wants a better bargain for taxpayers and workers than exists in the nearly 40-year deal. At least one tourism official described the mayor's conditions as nonstarters while hoteliers feared a continued delay in releasing the marketing fund could harm what is an $8 billion industry.
Without his signature, the city's marketing efforts through the hotelier-run Tourism Marketing District have been put on hold since a previous deal expired Dec. 31. The district relies on a 2 percent hotel room surcharge estimated to generate $30 million this year.
Filner has been skeptical of the deal approved last year by the City Council and hoteliers, calling it an illegal tax and saying the money generated should go toward the city's public safety costs.
In an interview Sunday, Filner outlined for the first time how he would like to proceed. Filner said he wants four elements included in a new deal he wants to negotiate with hoteliers — a short-term pact of one or two years, a living-wage requirement for downtown hotels, more money for city coffers and indemnification for the city should the deal be found illegal by the courts.
Filner said he wanted to respond to criticism and questions about why he hadn't signed the deal on the table.
"This is why I'm doing it," he said. "I'm worried about the term of the contract and the indemnification. I'm worried that we don't get enough, especially for public safety. And I would like the working people in downtown hotels to do a little better. We do have a livable wage for the people we contract with. Here's a contract. Why don't we have a livable wage here?"
Filner has a meeting scheduled today with Terry Brown, chairman of the marketing district board of directors, to discuss his proposal. Brown couldn't be reached for comment Sunday.
Filner's refusal has already forced San Diego's Tourism Authority to postpone its planned $5.4 million campaign, which it believes will cost the city millions in lost revenue and at least 2 million room nights over the summer months.
"All of his conditions are in my mind nonstarters, and I think he knows that," said Joe Terzi, CEO of the San Diego Tourism Authority, which relies on the marketing district for roughly 80 percent of its budget. "For some reason he's positioning this in a way to make this not at all palatable to the industry. The best thing for him to do to support the industry is to sign the deal."
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said the pending agreement already has an indemnification for the city, along with other protections.
By changing the terms of the Tourism Marketing District, tourism leaders and hoteliers say new governing documents would have to be drafted and another mail ballot election would have to be held so that hotel owners could vote on the financing mechanism.

By CARL SMITH
A bill authorizing school district officials to carry concealed weapons passed the Miss. House Education Committee Monday and will move to the full house for discussion.
As filed by Miss. Rep. Lester Carpenter, a Republican who represents Alcorn and Tishomingo counties, Miss. H.B. 958 would allow local school boards to permit two district employees per school to carry firearms. The bill states those employees who carry weapons on school grounds must obtain a concealed carry license. They are required to complete numerous weapons training and handling courses.
If passed by the House and Senate as written, local school boards which choose to arm employees under this bill would pay costs associated with acquiring concealed carry licenses and firearm training.
Carpenter's bill is one of many school weapons measures introduced this legislative session.
Miss. Rep. Gary Chism, a Republican who represents Clay, Lowndes and Oktibbeha counties, previously filed a similar school firearms bill, Miss. H.B. 177, but said last week action on the measure was unlikely. The bill, dubbed "The School Protection Act," would have authorized school administrators access to .38-caliber handguns — the measure's minimum caliber requirement — and "exploding ammunition which prevents ricochet(s)."
Similar to Carpenter's Bill, the School Protection Act mandated administrators obtain conceal carry permits and safety training; however, H.B. 958 does not specify a minimum caliber or ordinance type.
Chism confirmed his bill died in committee Tuesday. He is listed as a Miss. H.B. 958 co-author along with 11 other Republicans.
"This bill has more permissive language and allows school boards to have full discretion as to how they want to handle allowing these weapons on campus," Chism said. "It sort of acts like the Castle Doctrine for schools. We want to make sure our children are safe because they can't learn if they do not feel safe."
Starkville School District utilizes armed school resource officers to patrol district campuses. SSD Superintendent Lewis Holloway says those employees function basically as trained police officers. Also, he said, ROTC instructors with special forces training can be utilized as needed by the district.
Holloway said he is in favor of letting specialized SROs handle drastic school emergencies instead of armed administrators or principals.
"Having SROs is a good thing — being armed is a good thing, but I think principals aren't going to be as effective as an SRO in a school emergency," he said. "At the end of the day, I don't know if we'd make schools safer by letting principals have firearms."
Holloway said the district is taking numerous other safety precautions, including mandatory secondary entrance locks, security camera installations and perimeter fencing construction.
While Oktibbeha County School District does not have its own dedicated force, it does have a security arrangement with the Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Department. Deputies perform daily campus checks.
Previously, West Oktibbeha County High School Principal Jeffrey Grant said the district's crisis management plan received approval during the state's takeover of the district, with drills taking place on a monthly basis. OCSD officials conducted safety drills dealing with intruders following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Mississippi Department of Education officials also held an active-shooter training session at Overstreet School last month and are actively reviewing statewide safety procedures.

The Road Back: Speech Pathologists on the Front Line
Approximately five million people in this country live with TBI
Since the January 8 shootings in Tucsan people across the country, and even around the world, have followed and cheered on the seemingly remarkable progress of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
|Travis Threats, Ph.D.
In just over a month, Giffords went from intensive care to rehab to asking for toast for breakfast. Now it's reported that she has been able to mouth the words to songs and spoke several words on the phone to her brother-in-law serving on the international space station.
But what does it take to rebuild the skills used to speak and communicate? The skills most take for granted until a stroke or a critical injury such as Giffords suffered changes life unexpectedly.
Travis Threats, Ph.D., CCP-SLP, chair of Saint Louis University's department of communications sciences and disorders, shares how speech pathologists work with patients to develop the most effective therapies to relearn what has been lost. Some key elements include:
- Collaboration with other professionals about a comprehensive plan for assessment and intervention
- Discussion with the patient and family members about their concerns and hopes
- Development of a therapy plan to address the patient's ability to reintegrate back into their lives, while realizing the possible limitations
Threats, a fellow with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and veteran in the field of speech pathology, says persons with gunshot wounds to the head can have varied difficulties depending on how the bullet entered the head and where (and if) the bullet exits the head.
"Most people die from this assault because of bleeding in the brain which within the skull can quickly crush the brain," Threats said. "Representative Giffords had the best available emergency care which saved her life."
Threats adds that it is not possible to predict what Giffords' ultimate cognitive and communication status will be or whether she will be able or even desire to go back to Congress.
"The most important thing is that she regains the communication skills necessary to successfully and joyfully interact with those around her. Communication is the way we stay connected to others, which for humans is as crucial as food and water."
A patient of Threats who suffered a gunshot wound brain injury once told him, "The doctors saved my life, but my therapists convinced me I had a life worth saving."
Facts about Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- According to the Mayo Clinic website: "Traumatic brain injury is damage to the brain as the result of an injury. Traumatic brain injury usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head that causes the brain to collide with the inside of the skull. An object penetrating the skull, such as a bullet or shattered piece of skull, also can cause traumatic brain injury."
- In the United States, 1.5 million children and adults suffer from traumatic brain injury each year
- It is estimated that $48 billion is spent in the U.S. on acute medical and rehabilitation services for persons with TBI
- Approximately five million people in this country live with TBI
- Causes of TBI include motor vehicle accidents, falls, and gunshot wounds
- Ten percent of TBI's are caused by assaults
- Each year in the United States, there are about 35,000 persons with nonfatal gunshots wounds, but most gunshot wounds are fatal
- A gunshot to the head produces specific localized damage to the brain and the impairments depend on where in the brain the bullet hits
- Much of one's language abilities are in the left half of the brain
- Improvement for persons with TBI can continue well past one year after injury
About Travis Threats: Dr.Threats has worked extensively with the World Health Organization since 1999 in developing systems to improve the life functioning of persons with disabilities. He has been an invited keynote speaker in Canada, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Greece and Slovenia. His area of interest is in researching and designing interventions for persons with acquired cognitive and communication disorders.
More than 50 of Threats' works have appeared in noted publications and books. He also was a recipient of the 2010 Excellence in Health Care award, which is given annually by the St. Louis American to eight health professionals for outstanding service to the St. Louis community

In these systems, parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats get allocated to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives. Voters may vote directly for the party, as in Hong Kong and Israel, or they may vote for candidates and that vote will pool to the party, as in Turkey and Finland.
There are two major and important variations of Party List systems, usually defined as closed list and open list elections: i.e. the order in which the party's list candidates get elected may be pre-determined by some method internal to the party (a closed list system) or they may be determined by the voters at large (an open list system).
There are many variations on seat allocation within party-list proportional representation. The three most common are:
List PR may also be combined in various hybrids (e.g. using the Additional member system).
The unmodified Sainte-Laguë method and the LR-Hare method rank as the most proportional followed by LR-Droop; single transferable vote; modified Sainte-Laguë, D'Hondt and largest remainder Imperiali. While the allocation formula is important, equally important is the district magnitude (number of seats in a constituency). The higher the district magnitude, the more proportional an electoral system becomes.

APP OF THE DAY: Barclays Pingit review (iOS, BlackBerry and Android)
Mobile payments is an area of much debate. It's obviously the way of the future to be able to send funds over and between mobile phones but there ae enormous issues of security and, probably more importantly, customer trust to overcome.
Nonetheless, Barclays has thrown caution - your caution - to the wind with the launch of an app and a service that will do just that in today's App of the Day on Pocket-lint.
Barclays Pingit
You don't have to be a Barclays customer to use Pingit but, as the phrase on the nauseating team-building shirts goes, it helps. Pingit is a pretty clever way of sending money to another person simply by sending them a text message - more or less. If you want to send cash to anyone with a UK number, then you'll need a Barclays account and the relevant app for your relevant mobile phone. You don't have to have either to receive the funds.
When you set up the service as the sender, it's a fairly involved process of six-figure passcodes, full bank account details and verification numbers via either the Barclays Pin-Sentry device or the slightly more painful routes of in-branch or at a cash machine (don't forget to cover the screen). What that does inspire, however, is a measure of safety which is good because the rules of the game state that Barclays is not prepared to take any responsibility if you send your money to the wrong person - and that's quite easy to do. A missed digit and you'll make someone's day.
The story at the other end is that you'll receive an SMS saying that someone wants to give you some cash. If you're not already registered with Pingit, then you will have to do so within 24 hours or the payment will be cancelled. You don't need the app but, again, it helps. You can register online at www.barclays.co.uk/pingit.
Once you're set up, you can send up to £300 per day in amounts anywhere between £1 and the full dose. You can receive up to £5,000 in the same time period. We know which we'd rather do.
Of course, the real down side of this - apart from the accidental sending of cash to a stranger - is Pingit does mean sharing yours and your recipient's mobile phone number with Barlclays which then has the right to do all sorts of unspeakable marketing pitches with it and it's very, very, very difficult to opt out of. In fact, you'll have to write them a letter. And post it. Seriously.
Warnings aside, it seems to work very well and it's actually quite fun although we're pretty sure that the novelty will wear off quickly. Pitched as an easy way to split bills and sort out the odd friendly bit of I owe you this, that and the other, it does the trick very nicely indeed. It's also a nice way to check your bank balance very quickly. Just watch those digits, ok?

MURRAY, UT (2/26/2010) - A major new nationwide study of people at risk for stroke involving cardiac researchers at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray shows that two medical procedures designed to prevent future strokes are safe and effective, meaning that physicians will now have more options in tailoring treatments for their patients at risk for stroke.
The study was released Friday morning.
The nine-year study of more than 2,500 patients compared carotid endarterectomy, a surgical procedure to clear blocked blood flow that is considered the gold standard prevention treatment, to carotid artery stenting, a newer and less invasive procedure that involves threading a stent and expanding a small protective device in the artery to widen the blocked area to capture dislodged plaque.
The study, dubbed the CREST trial, is of the largest randomized stroke prevention trials ever conducted. The trial was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health, and led by investigators at Mayo Clinic.
In the trial of 2,502 participants, carotid endarterectomy (CEA), a surgical procedure to clear blocked blood flow and considered the gold standard prevention treatment, was compared to carotid artery stenting (CAS), a newer and less invasive procedure that involves threading a stent and expanding a small protective device in the artery to widen the blocked area and capture any dislodged plaque.
The study, which took place at 117 centers in the United States and Canada, compared the safety and effectiveness of CEA and CAS in patients with or without a previous stroke. Researchers found the efficacy of the two procedures was largely the same with equal benefits for both men and for women, and for patients who had previously had a stroke and for those who had not. However, when the investigators looked at the numbers of heart attacks and strokes, they found differences. The investigators found that there were more heart attacks in the surgical group, 2.3 percent compared to 1.1 percent in the stenting group; and more strokes in the stenting group, 4.1 percent versus 2.3 percent for the surgical group in the weeks following the procedure.
The study also found that the age of the patient made a difference. At approximately age 69 and younger, stenting results were slightly better, with a larger benefit for stenting, the younger the age of the patient. Conversely, for patients older than 70, surgical results were slightly superior to stenting, with larger benefits for surgery, the older the age of the patient.
"The CREST trial provides physicians and patients with much needed risk/benefit information to help choose the best carotid procedure based on an individual's health history," says Lee Burke, MD, a cardiologist at the Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center and the principal investigator at the Utah hospital. "This personalized decision making should translate into improved patient outcomes."
Stroke, the third leading cause of death in the United States, is caused by an interruption in blood flow to the brain by a clot or bleeding. The carotid arteries on each side of the neck are the major source of blood flow to the brain. The buildup of cholesterol in the wall of the carotid artery, called atherosclerotic plaque, is one cause of stroke. Because people with carotid atherosclerosis also usually have atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries that supply the heart, the CREST trial tracked the rate of heart attacks, in addition to stroke and death, as well.

FORT WALTON BEACH — The owners of Edwin Watts Golf Shops filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday morning and announced plans to sell the company by the end of the year.
The retailer, owned by private equity firm Sun Capital Partners, began advanced negotiations with parties interested in purchasing the business prior to the bankruptcy filing, according to a news release issued by Edwin Watts Golf.
Edwin Watts, who lives in Shalimar, said he was shocked and frustrated with what has happened to his former company. Along with an investor group, Watts is considering repurchasing the company.
"We don't have all the details of this. This was a little bit of a shock," Watts said. "We don't know how the process works, but we do have an interest in possibly pursuing the company.
"I think the company is going to survive and we hope to potentially figure out a way to get it back," Watts said.
Edwin Watts Golf was started in a small 600-square-foot building at the Fort Walton Beach Golf Course in 1968 by Edwin and Ronnie Watts and Kenny Cook.
They sold the company to Wellspring Capital Management LLC in December 2003 but stayed on to manage for Wellspring.
"We were an extremely profitable company every single year we were in business," Watts said. "We had great people, they were well taken care of, our customers were well taken care of. We did a lot in the community. Everything was great.
"We hand-picked (Wellspring) and we ran it with our group and people, and here again we were very successful along with them," Watts added.
Edwin Watts Golf was purchased by Sun Capital out of Boca Raton in May 2007.
Edwin Watts Golf Shops offers an assortment of brand name golf equipment, apparel and accessories at more than 90 retail locations in 15 states, its Internet site, direct mail and through its online catalog. Some stores are expected to close after the sale of the company, but the final store counts have not been determined.
Company officials expect to file sale agreement documents with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court shortly and hope to have a court-approved sale closed before the end of the year.
John Watson, president and CEO of the company, declined to speak directly to the media Monday.
In their news release, Watson said the decline in the golf industry the past five years has resulted in extremely sluggish consumer demand. Compounding the challenges this year was the poor weather that impacted golf play.
The company listed estimated liabilities and assets of $100 million to $500 million in its bankruptcy filing.
Reuters reported Monday that PNC Bank, which is owed $50 million under a secured financing agreement, will lend Edwin Watts Golf Shops $38 million to keep it operating until the sale is completed.

How I Came to Know about Hotel Furniture and How I Surprised My Better Half
Who does not want to live an extravagant life with best possible comfort? The same is with me, as well. I always wanted a luxurious life, but like many others around, I was unable to afford them. After getting married I bought a new home. As you can understand that for a man with mid-range income, buying a home is a big deal. After that the two of us were leading a simple life. The furniture at our home was quite simple and served just the basic purposes. A couple of years went like this only, until my cousin took me to a used hotel furniture display.
I started with list preparation and my budget plan
As I did not have much idea about second-hand hotel furniture, I warned him not to go for such products considering their quality is inferior. Then he told me that the sofa at his place (that I was fond of) is also used to be the part of a high-end hotel. He bought it from an auction. The moment he said that to me, I decided to surprise my wife with some pieces of luxurious furniture on her birthday that was around the corners. That day I didn't bought anything. I went home and prepared a list of the things we need the most. Preparing a list beforehand helped me a lot to make quick decisions. Once I was done with that, I decided a budget. This is another important thing to consider before buying a product(s).
Inspection helped me a lot
After the list was ready, I went to the place where the sale was going on and looked for the products I needed. Fortunately, I found all of them, a queen bed, a large wardrobe, two chests of drawers, a center table and many other pieces. The person who was showing the stuff to the customers, asked me to inspect the products carefully before tipping off. Inspection is a very important consideration whether you buy old furniture or a new one. Moreover when you are buying used products, you need to be extra cautious.
Things I looked for
Firstly, I started with smelling the pieces that were made up of fabrics. Actually, my cousin advised me to do that. Smelling helps in determining if the item(s) is degraded or not. If a piece of furniture smells fresh, you can buy it without any hesitations. If it smells bad, refrain from selecting it. Secondly, I checked the items from outside, inside and underside. Finally, after I was satisfied with the used hotel furniture, I purchased them and surprised my wife.

60-Minute Check-Up: Asthma, Hay Fever and Food AllergyEvent Details: 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m., September 26, St. Louis County Library Headquarters, located at 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
SLUCare allergist James Temprano, M.D., will share information about asthma, hay fever and food allergies at the upcoming 60-Minute Check-Up, sponsored by SLUCare, the physician practice of Saint Louis University, and the St. Louis County Library.
|James Temprano, M.D.
Temprano will separate food allergy facts from myths, talk about using injectable epinephrine, or "epipens", hay fever, and asthma and the elderly.
"Don't assume that shortness of breath is simply a result of old age. Shortness of breath, wheezing and chronic cough are reasons to see a doctor," said Temprano. "Asthma can begin at any age."
The 60-Minute Check-Up will be held from 2-3:30 p.m. on Monday, September 26 at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters, located at 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
Also at the 60-Minute Check-Up, St. Louis County Library reference librarian Christina Pryor will talk about library resources available to help people improve their health, and SLUCare will provide free blood pressure screenings.
The free Community Health Literacy Series is part of the department of internal medicine's yearlong centennial celebration. The events are designed to provide information to keep you healthy as well as resources to help you learn more about health-related issues.
Because space is limited, reservations are recommended. To reserve your spot, call the St. Louis County Library at 314-994-3300.

University Receives $10,000 from the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis
The University has received $10,000 from the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis in continued support of the Saint Louis University Prison Initiative (formerly College-in-Prison Program).
The Foundation first partnered with the University in funding this program with a gift of $5,000 in 2009 in support of the Certificate in Theological Studies offered by the University at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Corrections Center (ERDCC) in Bonne Terre, Mo.
With a $150,000 gift from the Hearst foundation in 2010, the program has now expanded to an Associates of Arts degree program held at the prison administered through the School for Professional Studies for both incarcerated men and prison staff. It is the first program of its kind in the nation and the only college prison program in Missouri.
In addition to the academic degree program, the Prison Program plans and facilitates arts and education programming at both the ERDCC and SLU's campus for students, staff, faculty and the community. The program consists of a speaker series, arts programming, a video project and a colloquium focused on the revisioning of prison.
|SLU Prison Program
In addition, Prison Program staff received a President's Research Fund award in 2011 to analyze data collected during the course of the A.A. degree program assessing the impact of the program on participants.
Prison Program director and theology professor, Kenneth Parker, Ph.D., founded the Saint Louis University Prison Program in 2008. Communication professor Mary Gould, Ph.D., English professor Devin Johnston, Ph.D., , are co-directors of the arts and education component of the Prison Program.
For more information: The Saint Louis University Prison Program Arts and Education Program was highlighted in the August issue of St. Louis Magazine.
About the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis: The Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis is a local funder that supports efforts to see the Church brought into the lives of hurting people and people included in the healing life of the church.

Whilst games have been around for Millennia (attested as early as 2600 BC), their mechanics have only recently been applied to non-gaming activities. The biggest reason for this is video games immense popularity across all age groups. Companies are curious whether the elements that make games fun or appealing (such as levelling up, rewards and leaderboards) can be applied to non-gaming applications, as well as increasing engagement
Gamification has real potential of improving user experience over numerous applications, but this has to be done with care.

Social and Cultural History: Letters and Diaries Online allows students, scholars, and online researchers to experience the past through thousands of private writings and personal narratives. The resource is a unique forum that brings together the voices of ordinary men and women from all walks of life with the personal accounts of well-known historical figures. In their own words, people from diverse ethnic and social groups bring vividly to life hundreds of years of history through their perspectives on life, love, faith, politics, business, and countless personal events. The database currently includes 99,789 documents in 2,236 books and 432 websites.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.
