I have thought for so very long that I would love to be able to share and sell some of my handmade goods to those who could enjoy them. I often find myself setting stuff into piles and never having a proper place to display items. With this in mind, I have acquired the help of my dear friend Kaydi Homme to help me manage this and other creative avenues that I am considering. Kaydi use to sit right next to me at Tattered Angels and always made my day a little brighter :) When she left Tattered Angels the week after I did, we both kind of looked at each other and said "Now what?"
Well Kaydi being the good friend that she is, offered to help me manage my personal commitments so that I can better commit myself to my new position with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3l and any other opportunities that may come to be. Kaydi is amazing at logistically analyzing situations and coming up with strategic ideas to best complete tasks. Sometimes when I am in my crafty zone... I need someone like Kaydi to pull me out, and help me organize my thoughts and direction.
With this in mind, Kaydi will be tackling the management of my Etsy store. She will be taking pictures and posting my handmade goods for sale. As hard as it is to see some of my art pieces go.. It is even harder to see them just sit in a pile after I create them, so I am grateful to have someone who can help me send these pieces off to good homes.
Here is the link if you would like to take a peek at some of the items that we are selling:
With starting working this past year... I have found that I have let go of some of the simple pleasures that I use to call my own. It is very hard to stop and make sure that I still am able to blog, do videos, tutorials, and create for myself... when I am trying to do so for other manufacturers. I am so grateful that Kaydi has offered to come and help me manage things to make sure that I don't lose myself and still make time to create.
Thank You Kaydi :)

It's a great recipe: take a string quartet line-up, dispense with one of the violins and replace it with an electric guitar, assemble folks who are at the top of their game for the four chairs, and kick off with some tunes from the brow of one of today's leading jazz arrangers and composers.
What we heard at Ronnie Scott's this Tuesday night was the Big Sur line-up; Bill Frisell on electric Stratocaster guitar, Jenny Scheinman on violin, Hank Roberts on cello, Eyvind Kang, viola, but minus drummer Rudy Royston. Although it is not everyone's favourite, for me Big Sur is one of Frisell's strongest and most lasting recordings.
The show opened with a hushed guitar riff accompanied by a gentle sigh of strings that gradually swelled in volume with the introduction of a meditative pulse. From there on it barely got any louder. It fleetingly seemed that it might all be rather undemonstrative, not as far removed from staying at home and listening to a recording as one would have liked, except that there was an enthralling air of magic coupled to clarity of detail that is rarely experienced. And of course the improvisation, and humour, and ...you get the picture. We all felt fortunate to be there. There was just enough volume for the music to caress the ears with an abundance of detail, and no louder.
When Frisell finds something in the music for which he is striving, an expression of boyish mischievousness illuminates his features. His appearance and approach to music making is quite unvarying over time, almost as if he has embraced Frank Zappa's concept of "conceptual continuity". A new show seems to pick up where the last one ended, even if years intervene. Not unlike JJ Cale, Frisell turned his groove early on and has been ploughing that fertile furrow ever since, harvesting an abundance of produce within.
Some of the themes did have an initial country air, almost deliberately, humorously, hillbilly, a sound that Frisell delved into on his landmark album Nashville, and then settling into a most engaging swinging groove. Heard like this, country-style swing is not very far removed from Django-esque European gypsy jazz, although I'm not aware that anybody else has suggested a connection. Whenever the music might have been in danger of becoming too ethereal, an energising groove and captivating tune was never far away.
On the evidence of this show, one could only agree with those critics who voted Jenny Scheinman to near the top of jazz violin critics' polls, as the lyricism of the parts she contributed, especially towards the end, were quite wonderful. Hank Roberts' bowing of the cello was effortless and engaged, and Eyvind Kang's pizzicato contributions in particular stood out. At the close,Frisell was clearly delighted with the performance. Jazz audiences occasionally applaud politely but then express caveats in the margins afterwards, but I heard no doubts expressed by anyone. In this company, Frisell sketched a sonic landscape that is unavailable to the senses until the next time he visits.

To be completely honest, I don't even remember how or exactly when my two homeroom students appointed themselves as my agents, but I do know that this would be an exceptionally rough year at school without them.
This whole MS thing (at the risk of sounding obnoxiously repetitive) has gotten significantly worse. In fact, it seems to be getting worse on a daily basis. I'll spare you the details. Suffice to say my priorities have once again shifted (or narrowed). A year ago my daily goals were threefold: to improve as a teacher, to exercise my dog, and to swim. Currently my only goal is to maintain enough independence to keep my job. When I'm at school I am granted at least eight blissful hours of reprieve from my otherwise constant self-loathing on behalf of this damn disease. Teenagers don't allow for such self-indulgent activities; they require constant attention (generally, in one form or another, all at the same time). So from 7:45 - 4:00 my internal monologue resembles as unbalanced washing machine: it is frenetic, overstimulated and unable to rest. There are quizzes to grade and lessons to plan and power points to create and students to counsel about all things non-academic and administrative memos to read and parents to call and papers to edit and....you get the point. Self-pity on behalf of MS does not factor into my daily thought process. At least not until the bell rings. Then my internal monologue resembles more of a broken clothes dryer -- tumbling around and around in circles, wasting energy and never even drying the clothes. It's sort of a mind-numbing type of silent panic that centers on the number of things I need/want to accomplish that my body simply will not do.
It is generally right as the frenetic internal monologue is replaced by this deluge of negativity that my agents show up. And it is almost impossible to fully submerge myself in self-pity mode when they're in my room. To protect their anonymity I'll refer to them as Agent I and Agent K. Agent I is a fair-skinned, blond-haired 16-year-old, slender white girl. Agent K is the opposite: darker skin, braided hair, dimpled cheeks on a not-so-slender black male body. They're an unlikely pair, and for whatever reason this makes me love them even more. Originally, I think they appointed themselves as my agents in order to earn service hours (a prerequisite for graduation in Baltimore City). They'd wash the boards, straighten the desks, pick the paper balls off the floor and stack the books on the counter. I, in turn, would add another hour to their service-learning log and thank them profusely. Somehow, though, between September and now my agents have evolved from student-helpers into personal God-sends (especially ironic considering my current relationship with Him).
I cannot figure out why this has happened.
Sometimes they meet me in the parking lot in the morning. Agent K drags my wheelchair out of the back of my Honda Element, and Agent I puts my backpack and lunch bag on the back. They wheel the chair over to the driver's side of the car and -- once I'm in -- wheel me up the ramp. This makes me sound exceptionally lazy, but the truth is, the walk between the front seat of the car and the trunk is getting harder every day. I sort of shimmy along the side of my car, grasping the side as best as I can for balance -- I refer to this as my spider woman routine because the side of my car is such an integral part of the process. If I attempt to move forward without a proper grasp, I fall -- it's happened on more occasions than I care to admit. When I see my agents in the parking lot in the mornings, the fear of falling in front of students or flipping over in my wheelchair with my heavy bag on the back is delayed a few hours. Once the three of us get into the school building, Agent K fishes my coffee mug out of my lunch bag and hands it to another student who fills it with two cups of green mountain deliciousness that keep me awake through at least second period. We then head into the main office where I sign in while my Agents grab my attendance folder and check my mailbox for me before we head towards the back of the building for a ride up to the third floor via the school's elevator (which looks exactly like a smaller version of the Holocaust Museum's model gas chamber). About ten minutes after entering the building, the three of us finally reach my classroom.
No matter how early I attempt to get to school, I am inevitably one of the last people to arrive in the room. And even though it's always before 8:00 and I'm grumpy and overtired and preemptively overwhelmed with the day etc., there is something about my classroom and the kids in it -- doing homework at their desks, or attempting to copy each other's work without me noticing, or sitting on the radiator talking and laughing and complaining about teachers, or asking me forty-seven inane questions before I even reach my desk -- that always makes me feel like my day is going to be okay.
And usually, depending on the level of irritation that my eighth period class leaves me with, it pretty much is. Especially when it ends with my Agents.
Now, five months into the school year, their hours of "service" to me must exceed 100, and even if I write them the two most glowing college recommendations in the history of college recommendations, I still could not ever adequately express my appreciation to my Agents. They still straighten my room and wash my boards, but they also accompany me to my car and help me with my wheelchair and heavy backpack. At my car, Agent K waits for me to pull myself out of the chair and begin the twenty-minute process of getting myself situated in the driver's seat. He pulls the heavy bag off the back of the chair and places it behind the driver's seat while Agent I hoists my chair into the back of the car. A few weeks ago it was rainy and cold and Agent K's brother was picking them up on an adjacent road at the other end of the parking lot. I offered them a ride across the lot and they both climbed in. They were completely situated, seat-belted and everything, and I was still unable to get my stiff legs to bend and get into the car. (After school my legs are particularly problematic -- sort of like having dead tree trunks attached to my body. Tree trunks that want nothing to do with bending/leaving the ground etc.) Agent K noticed the struggle and offered to help. I responded, "What are you going to do, pick them up and force them into my car?" He shrugged, got out of the passenger seat and walked over to where I was still trying to pick them up off the ground. He then grabbed both legs and picked them off the ground. This motion sent me flying backwards -- so I was lying upside down across the front seat of my car. It also sent me into a fit of laughter. I grabbed the steering wheel, pulled myself up, and directed Agent K to bend my legs before picking them up. He did. The two of us finally got all of my limbs into the car and I drove my Agents the whole fifty meters to their ride on the adjacent street.
Which brings me to the day before winter break. The afternoon routine was nearing the end: Agent I heaved my chair into my car and, as I sat half in and half out of my car telling them to have a fantastic Christmas and New Year's, Agent K stated the obvious in the form of a rhetorical question:
"You need help with your legs?"
Have I mentioned that this part of the afternoon routine is just moderately embarrassing?
"Um, no, I can get them."
Agent K continued, "Right, well I can too."
So I let him help, the three of us giggling at the ridiculousness of the situation. Agent I was giggling harder than usual. Defensively I chided her,
"You know this is ridiculous to me too -- most people who can't get themselves into their own cars don't work!"
She stopped laughing.
"I know, Ms. Hooks. You're an inspiration."
With that, Agent K finally got my legs to bend, I arranged them under the steering wheel and said something that I say too often,
"I love you guys."
I say it so frequently that I question its perceived value, but I meant it so much that day that I was worried I would suffocate with my love for them.
We said goodbye and I backed out of the parking spot. Then, filled with more love and gratefulness than this damn disease allows me to acknowledge very often, I cried the whole way home.

: Many Aging Boomers Face Chronic Illness, But Death Rate Is Falling: CDC
Posted May 8, 2015
WEDNESDAY, May 6, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds mixed results for the health of America's aging "Baby Boom" generation, with nearly half of people ages 55 to 64 taking a prescription heart drug and about 1 in 5 dealing with diabetes.
However, the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also finds that the overall death rate in this age group has gone down over the past decade.
The report shows that the "prevalence of diabetes and obesity among Baby Boomers remains remarkably high and is a public health concern," said Dr. Ronald Tamler, who directs the Mount Sinai Clinical Diabetes Institute in New York City.
But he said the new findings also show that "interventions focusing on heart health are beginning to pay off."
The new data comes from an annual report from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, looking at 2014 statistics on the health of all Americans. This year, the CDC zeroed in on adults ages 55 to 64, who form the core of the "Boomer" generation. On average, people in this age range can expect to live anywhere from another 19 to 27 years. But they also face a growing risk of developing chronic health problems, the agency said.
That looming epidemic of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic health woes doesn't bode well for the financial health of the U.S. health care system, the report noted, since most Boomers will be covered by the government-run Medicare program within the next 10 years.
Some key findings in the report:
Between 2009-12, an estimated 19 percent of adults ages 55 to 64 had diabetes, 40 percent were obese and 51 percent had high blood pressure -- numbers the CDC said haven't budged from statistics taken a decade before.
Due in large part to the prevalence of these chronic conditions, use of prescription drugs is high. In 2009-12, approximately 45 percent of adults in this age group took a prescription heart drug, about 32 percent took a cholesterol-lowering drug, 16 percent used prescription drugs for chronic heartburn, 15 percent used prescription painkillers, nearly 13 percent used some type of diabetes drug, and more than 14 percent took an antidepressant.
However, between 2003 and 2013, the overall death rate for Americans ages 55 to 64 fell, the CDC said. Cancer death rates are now higher than those for heart disease, the report found.
Between 2002-03 and 2012-13, the rate of cigarette smoking among adults ages 55-64 fell from nearly 20 percent to just over 18 percent. However, high rates of smoking still afflict the poor, with rates three times higher among those living well below the poverty line compared to people from more affluent groups.
The bottom-line forecast, according to Tamler, is an aging population increasingly plagued by chronic illness. That means doctors "have our work in primary prevention cut out for us," he said, "especially in the less affluent segment of the population."
Another doctor agreed.
"With a shift from treatment to prevention, where the key is lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise, we could essentially change these statistics," said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"This study should be used to empower a generation to see the importance in how they take care of themselves and how they choose to live," she said.

China Halts Fireworks Factories
An explosion at a fireworks factory in southern China killed six people and prompted the temporary closure of 170 firecracker producers, a local official said Monday.
The blast Thursday in Hunan province coincided with a decision by neighboring Jiangxi province to shut down its whole fireworks industry after a series of fatal explosions in recent weeks.
The two provinces are the heart of China's fireworks industry, which is a major employer in poor rural areas but suffers frequent deaths.
The explosion in Yongzhou, a city in Hunan, was ignited by sparks when a factory manager used a scythe to cut fuses, said a city government investigator. He said the manager of the Da'an Fireworks Plant was among those killed.
Eleven local officials have been disciplined for letting the factory operate without a license, said the investigator, who gave only his surname, He.
Authorities ordered 170 fireworks factories in the surrounding county to suspend work while officials carry out safety inspections, He said.
Fireworks producers have been stepping up output in preparation for lunar new year festivities, when Chinese set off millions of firecrackers. The holiday starts this year on Feb. 12.
On Thursday, the government of Jiangxi announced that it would shut down its seven-century-old fireworks industry within two years.
Jiangxi has been the scene of some of China's deadliest fireworks accidents, including an explosion Dec. 30 that killed 14 people.

Today, wearable devices are a technology that is experiencing an awkward infancy. With the disappointing reviews and tepid sales of major products like Google Glass and the Apple Watch, many consumers seem to have concluded that wearable devices are no more than a fad.
Wearables also suffer from a problem of perception with many consumers at a loss as to what benefits and potential applications these devices may provide. Lack of function, high purchase costs and, perhaps most importantly, the unfashionable nature of current wearables all remain barriers to adoption. While the demand for wearables in today market is limited, market forecasts predict rapid and robust growth.
The Smartwatch
The smartwatch is poised to experience an explosion in popularity in the near future. While current devices are able to offer some limited advantages over smartphones, they still lack the functionality needed to capture the attention of many users. Many consumers are unwilling to purchase expensive items that are unable to operate effectively as a stand-alone device. A range of applications that may become available in the coming months and years have the potential to make smartwatches a must-have item. Anticipated new features include:
Currently, only high-end smartwatches are able to stand out and differentiate themselves from simple fitness trackers. Greater functionality, simplified interfaces and an expanded range of potential features and applications all mean that the next-generation of smartwatches may herald the true arrival of the wearable era.
Smartglasses and Visual-Based Wearables
Smartglasses continue to lag behind watches and other wearable due to the greater number of obstacles that developers need to overcome. Smartglasses are no doubt a few years behind watches, but these devices have enormous potential to provide consumers with access to a host of new features and innovations. While Google Glass was little more than a testing platform, other devices like Oculus Rift and even DIY cardboard headsets that allow smartphones to be used for VR and AR applications offer an important glimpse into the future of wearables.
Current issues and obstacles that must be overcome in order for smartglasses to be worth the cost of purchase include:
Smartglasses have a great deal to offer. Users who are able to access visual information without interrupting another task can enjoy enhanced effectiveness in a seemingly endless range of situations and circumstances. From insurance adjusters who are able to access details regarding different types of life insurance in the field to a visual overlay for Hadoop reporting and other detail-rich sources of information, smartglasses have the potential to change how professionals do business.
Future Trends in Wearable Technology
Even years after they first hit the market, mobile phones remaining little more than an expensive novelty. The growing number of major manufacturers and tech-industry leaders who are developing new wearable devices suggest that a wearable tech boom is not far off. The growing sophistication and falling costs of today's devices has seen wearables move out of the fitness and medical industry and into more mainstream markets. Obstacles to wider adoption, such as limited usefulness and lack of a killer-app ecosystem, may be surmounted much sooner than many consumers might imagine.
Long-term tech trends are often difficult to predict with any degree of accuracy. With smaller and more powerful devices being made available for lower and lower costs, smartwatches and smartglasses may be just the beginning. New innovation may create a host of new wearable devices with smartjewelery and smartclothing signaling the total domination of wearable technology.

Bloomberg Tax
This Portfolio is available with a subscription to Bloomberg Tax, a comprehensive research solution including over 500 Tax Management Portfolios, practice tools, primary sources and timely news.
Tax Management Portfolio, Real Estate Transactions by Tax-Exempt Entities, No. 591-3rd, analyzes the tax considerations pertinent to the investment by exempt entities, including pension trusts, in real estate. The Portfolio is a revision of 591-1st/883-1st T.M., Real Estate Transactions by Tax-Exempt Entities, by Lewis R. Kaster, Esq., of Bryan Cave LLP, New York, New York.
Exempt organizations are taxed on their unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). A primary concern of exempt organizations that invest in real estate is UBTI. Generally, gross income of an exempt organization is UBTI if: (i) the income is derived from the conduct of a trade or business; (ii) the business activity is regularly carried on; and (iii) the conduct of the business activity is not substantially related to the organization's exempt function. Tax law excludes from UBTI certain types of income that would otherwise come within the definition of UBTI.
Of central importance to exempt organizations that invest in real estate is the exclusion from UBTI of rents from real property. An initial concern is whether a transaction is characterized as a lease, a loan, or a partnership. Rents from personal property are not subject to UBTI rental exclusion, although the law disregards incidental rents from personal property. Tax law includes in UBTI rents from real property that are dependent on the income or profits derived from the leased property. This Portfolio examines in detail various permissible and impermissible rental formulas.
Tax law also excludes interest from UBTI. Qualifying interest does not, however, include amounts determined with respect to income or profits. This Portfolio examines the circumstances in which debt may be recharacterized as equity, as well as the treatment of contingent interest.
Income and deductions that would otherwise be excluded from UBTI may nevertheless be subject to taxation if incurred with respect to debt-financed property. This Portfolio examines various real estate-related aspects of the debt-financed property rules.
Other topics addressed by the Portfolio include corporate ownership of investments rather than direct ownership by the exempt organization, joint venture participations by exempt organizations, limited liability companies as exempt organizations, investment through specially treated conduit organizations, state or municipal retirement plans, foreign government pension plans, ERISA and state law considerations, and prohibited SILO and LILO transactions.

Carter Aviation Technologies has completed a long-awaited move to a new facility in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Since 1994 Carter has been housed in two small industrial buildings that accommodated their machine and composite shops and a small fabrication area. Both buildings encompassed less than 3,000 square feet of work area and for most of the last 15 years the administration and engineering offices were housed in a mobile office totaling 600 sq. ft.
According to President Jay Carter, Jr., "We started out as a very small R&D company with just a couple of employees while we investigated the viability of our slowed rotor/compound (SR/CTM) technology. We grew very little in those years because we were in a design/test phase of individual components. Even when we began flight-testing our first aircraft it was a test platform and we spent much more time improving and retesting systems and parts. Plus, we had a very limited amount of funding so we had to be frugal on where we spent our money and creative in our development and testing. A large facility just wasn't a priority."
Carter has entered into two licensing agreements for use of its technology over the last 18 months and is entering the final phase of flight-testing with its second generation proof-of-concept aircraft. With a final design being readied for commercialization, Carter is looking to the future. "We now need to build four aircraft over the next 12 to 18 months and that would have been impossible in our original facility," Carter said. "An Economic Development Program with the city of Wichita Falls helped us acquire this new 20,000 square foot facility. It is a huge step forward. It provides us with 16,000 square feet of shop space and 4,000 square feet of engineering and office space. That should hold us for a couple more years."

One thing we need to realize is that some people have and some just don't, bringing i the nature vs nurture arguments to challenge our philosophy we'll realize how relevant it has become to know the basic principles of styling for personal or commercial uses. Those born with it might just have it easy but of course is like a language, keeping it packet up somewhere will suppress it an later extincting it. Those that don't can through successive approximation get through to a point where they're even better that what they hadn't had. Skinner already said anyone can be anything given the right circumstances. Anna Dello Russo should be a separate discipline from the style field. She's the editor in chief and creative consultant for Vogue Japan. She has a bachelors degree in Italian Literature and Art History and attended the Domus Academy Milan. Previously she spent 18 years at Condé Nast Italia as Fashion Editor at Vogue Italia and serving as Editor of L'Uomo Vogue from 2000-2006. She is self-described as a "passionate fashionista" and has been described by Helmut Network as a "fashion maniac". Dello Russo is often featured in popular street style blogs The Sartorialist and Jak & Jill. She has gone on record to state that she owns over 4,000 pairs of shoes. To celebrate their 10 year anniversary, the clothing website yoox.com printed 10 different shirts for sale, each with one of Dello Russo's top ten outfits. The shirts went on to sell out within the first day they were made available. She is Legend!

Both Suse and Ubuntu have only Open Source packages on their downloadable CD/DVD images, just like Redhat. In fact you'll find that most, if not all, Linux distros only have open source (ie. redistributable) software in their downloadable versions. As with RHEL or Centos you can add extra repos after the install to get closed-source (eg. Java) or questionable (eg. win32codecs) packages, for example for OpenSuse: http://www.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories Far from being the exception with a few others, the way that Redhat does it is the rule. -- Tim Edwards

Tysen love big dicks and was set up with a dude that would fulfill her needs. After giving her cunilingus he pulled out his meat saber and the size of that thing shocked Tysen, it was much bigger than she had expected!
Nonetheless she put it in her mouth and got right to giving him head. She could barely fit the tip though and started to get anxious about taking it in her pussy. She let him do it and he made her scream out loud as he pounded her harder. At the end he shot a large load all over her cute face :)

Who would ever think that a gigantic bulk store could be the underdog in a situation? Believe it.
CostCo has decided to stop carrying Coca-Cola products at their stores. The reason why? Coke refuses to give them a larger discount for their products. Which, given the current economic climate, is pretty important to both companies, seeing as the two would very much like to keep a strong price margin.
Guess you'll have to find a another way to get 64 cans of Diet Coke all at one time.

Pubs, Pubs, Pubs…Glorious Pubs
I think one of the greatest inventions of modern man is the developement of the pub.
You say "My God man! Your insane, vaccinations…far more important!"
Rubbish, all of it rubbish…pubs…the great modern developement.
1. A place to get a cold pint of beer. (refreshment)
2. A place to get food. (food…duh)
3. A place to meet women. (Breeding and propagation…well sometimes)
4. A place to convey ideas and develope concepts. (discourse and discussion)
5. A place to get hammered and let off steam (mental relaxation and a pressure release)
6. A place to meet and confer with friends and new contacts (economics and social developement)
7. A place to run and up and down the stairs between piano Bar and other floors while running out for cigarettes. (physical health and stamina). For Arizona, I'm talking bout Paupers…more later
Truly, gentle readers lift your hands and in chorus say "Thank God for the pub and the importance it holds in our society".
Next I'm going to explain why David Lee Roth is the most important man in the music industry….well…you know…afterI get back from the pub.
That last one is going to need some pints and a bit of thought to get it worked out…unless somebody can tell me different??? Hmmmm…ehhh?

Establishing a new staff gym was essential to the British Medical Association, in order to offer their staff a convenient, well equipped fitness space that promotes a healthy lifestyle. By converting the existing basement rooms in to a 120 sqm air conditioned fitness facility, BMA Head of Estates Ian Wade has already signed up 25% of the existing workforce, far exceeding their membership expectations.
We wanted to create a facility for staff that would enhance work-life balance, promoting well-being, and provide a positive installation for staff benefit. There are known benefits of improved staff morale and engagement which can also be linked to improved productivity.
Ian Wade, Head of UK Estates - BMA
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive on all aspects; the design has been a great success, utilising basement storage space to convert to the 120 sqm air conditioned gym – with the added advantage of having a good degree of natural daylight. The equipment installed has proved we have used the space efficiently. The equipment looks great, and has attracted many positive comments particularly on the wide range of machines we managed to install.
Choosing the right equipment and machines would have proved a tough challenge - had we had not consulted with Origin Fitness from the outset! This made planning the actual layout and machine selection one less thing for us to worry about, safe in the knowledge we had the professional guidance on what needed to be considered and "in scope".
Starting at: £15.70 ex-VAT £18.84 inc-VAT
From the outset the Origin Fitness account manager took ownership of our project, and shared the same passion, drive and enthusiasm to get it over the line. The expertise provided at every stage, especially with layout and equipment selection, meant we delivered a state of the art facility to cater for all.
The installation was meticulously planned, which meant the actual install was undertaken extremely efficiently without any issues. This took place outside normal working hours to minimise any disruption, and the team were particularly helpful and knowledgeable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Origin Fitness. The added-value of having professional expertise to direct and advise us made this project the success that it is.
We'd love to show you what we can do.

The quick-release shoe in 14-inchs was prototyped in the fall of 2011 and is now in production to join the 9-inch QR shoe. It is to be available in the new May Wes 2012/13 catalog, and on the web at www.maywes.com.
Stalk Stomper shoes come standard with 1/4-inch thick Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly liners over thick metal. The poly finish provides a non-stick advantage to stubble protectors made of metal only. The company is also announcing owners of original Stalk Stompers on their corn heads can now switch to the QR designs.

Exclusive: 'Sinn Fein hasn't had this strength since 1918' - Gerry Adams
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams says the strength of the party after the 2014 local elections leaves the party at its strongest since the founding of State.
"Sinn Fein has not has this strength since 1918," said Mr Adams.
He also said that Sinn Fein's win across the Ireland is more than just a protest vote by the electorate.
"The government will try and dismiss this as a wrap on the knuckles for them but it's far more than that, this is a major shift in power," stated the Republican Party leader.
Of counted seats in Dublin City Council, being counted in the RDS, where Mr Adams was visiting, Sinn Fein has 59pc of them.
He also said that it is hard to say how his four-day questioning by the PSNI during the campaign affected their all over vote. "We could have got more votes who knows," he said.
Mr Adams will now visit Cork, Galway and Limerick before reviewing the party's plan moving forward.\

Invisible Web
New book is first to explain how to find the 80 percent of online information Web search engines miss
August 20, 2001, Medford, NJ Information Today, Inc. has announced publication of The Invisible Web: Uncovering Information Sources Search Engines Cant See, by Chris Sherman and Gary Price.
The authors estimate that 80 percent or more of the authoritative information accessible over the Internet is invisible to search engines, and thus not readily available to the millions of computer users who use the Web for research. According to Sherman and Price, content-rich databases from universities, libraries, associations, businesses, and governments are appearing on Web servers around the world at a staggering rate, but the current generation of search engines can reveal little or nothing about the data they contain. The phenomenon has been referred to as The Invisible Web, and it is a major obstacle for online searchers.
The Invisible Web is the first handbook and directory for information users who wish to utilize Invisible Web resources systematically in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of their online research. In this unique book, Sherman and Pricetwo of the worlds leading Invisible Web expertsdescribe the scope and background of the problem, introduce readers to essential sites and sources, and offer practical tips, techniques, and analysis. The Web directory the authors have created to support the book (www.invisible-web.net) provides updates, news, and links to over one thousand Invisible Web resources.
The Invisible
Web reveals hundreds of invisible information resources in these
topic areas and more:
