Yeah, the Opening Ceremony shop in LA you mean. That's way too expensive for me too. Too bad it's not possible to order from Japenese websites. They have the best clothes on the planet.

Local Natives – Hummingbird
Powder in your hair/Staples in your jeans/Fireworks at the water/You were holding a styro-foam cup held between your teeth/Telling me how you're going to outlive your body
I keep coming to this conclusion that the Local Natives are able to create a completely distinct and unique musical atmosphere. It's a ridiculously vague statement to make, so I'll explain. Hummingbird, like Gorilla Manor, has an incredible depth of sound; it creates its own echo. When you read a great book, it's the same effect, a three-dimensionality that instantly manifests itself with each sentence, or each verse, or each chorus. There are crescendos of emotion that you can track across multiple tracks on the album, and there are repeating elements that rattle your bones. It seems like you could actually dive into the song, if you got the chance. It's that kind of literal physical depth transposed into a piece of music that comprises the atmosphere of this album. It fills all your senses; it's music that has a taste and a smell and a feel. The lyrics are stand-alone poetry (especially in "Heavy Feet," as Lydia linked to on this fabulous post), not mere crippled words hanging onto the powerful expanse of the music, and the fusion between the two moving elements makes both even stronger.
I know I'm talking in really sweeping sentences here, but that's just how this album makes me feel. All gooey and poetic, or whatever. But seriously, this album is a MUST-listen. I tried to find a good video to show you guys, and I found the one below. As a wise YouTube user points out, this is the instrumental on "Colombia."
Best tracks: Colombia, Heavy Feet, Three Months

MS MR – Fantasy
MS MR dropped the first single, "Fantasy," off their debut album, which is slated to come out May 14. This track really solidifies their sexy, dangerous sound, especially following their last EP, but the driving beat underneath this track gives it a sort of Florence and the Machine feel, especially with the echoing background vocals. I have a feeling their debut album's gonna be disgustingly good…how bout you guys?

Hey Champ – Cliché
Electro-dance group Hey Champ released their latest single, "Cliché," with all the bounce and groove of their usual material. Save this for the weekend; it's got a perfect build-up to the downright joyous chorus. Free download below, and hopefully this means more new tracks to come!

Dream Logic – One More Blitz
This post is for your New Years celebration. Sick beats, remixes, originals, mashups: find them all with Dream Logic. I'm calling the resemblance right now–an American Madeon, anyone? He recently posted a sweet remix of Passion Pit's "Carried Away," but my favorite track of his is below. Tell me if this mashup of Digitalism and Daft Punk doesn't make you want to just cry from dancing too damn hard. The "Russian Attractions" remix is awesome as well.

Wild Swim – Echo
So sometimes I'm just really late on things. And I'm okay with that.
"Echo," one of the debut singles from Oxford band Wild Swim that came out a few months ago, has got me hooked, and let's just say I've had a bunch of fun on their Soundcloud. They have a really awesome fusion of lo-fi electronic and indie rock, and "New Dawn" and "Bright Eyes" are also sweet tracks with angsty, ambient instrumentals. Check 'em out on this lazy holiday weekend.

El Perro Del Mar – Pale Fire
Two days after Thanksgiving, you may or may not still be in a food coma. If you are (or are just looking for some new tunes), I'd highly suggest the chill vibes of El Perro Del Mar, the musical alter ego of Swede Sarah Assbring. El Perro's fifth album, Pale Fire, dropped about two weeks ago.
Pale Fire has the slightly melancholy taste of Beach House, with the funkiness of Body Language or Washed Out, and the moody vocals of Little Dragon. When done badly, the whole ethereal, echoing sound can actually feel heavy and sluggish. But El Perro Del Mar achieves the perfect balance of musical ingredients, making the album simultaneously relaxing and engaging. I promise this will be a good way to finish off your Slapsgiving weekend.
Best tracks: "Hold off the Dawn," "Love in Vain," "I Was a Boy"

Local Natives – Breakers
Local Natives released the first single from their upcoming second album Hummingbird; "Breakers" is a perfect representation of what this L.A. band's all about–ethereal harmonies and echoes, clapping percussion, and beachy vibes. This track is pretty reminiscent of their beyond-brilliant debut album Gorilla Manor, which if you haven't heard, you should probably put everything else in your life on hold to listen to, like, right now.
Hummingbird, slated to come out at the end of January, will have a lot to live up to, no doubt. But if anyone's up for the challenge, it's the Local Natives.

Screaming Maldini – Summer Somewhere
So summer's long gone…if you hadn't noticed. I literally cannot believe it's already November. Just can't.
But Screaming Maldini tells us that it's always "Summer Somewhere." And now I'm going to apologize for that awful wordplay. Sorry. This track's really nice, though, starting off with a sweet piano riff and catapulting into a booming chorus on the coattails of group harmonies and sliding beats. The band's self-titled debut is scheduled to come out in February 2013. Check out "The Extraordinary" if you dug this single!

Oddisee – Rock Creek Park
If you're in search of some mellow instrumental hip-hop, I gotchu covered. I'm now a huge Oddisee fan, so I was super excited to see that the prolific rapper/producer came out with a new album, Rock Creek Park, a few weeks ago.
This album is perfect fall music, and perfect for letting your mind wander after inundating your brain with all sorts of information (a.k.a. schoolwork). Like Oddisee's explanation at the bottom of the Bandcamp page suggests, all the tracks evoke a sort of nostalgia, even if the place you think of while you listen to it isn't the place he's thinking of. I've never been to Rock Creek Park in D.C., but after listening to this album, I want to go to there. (And while we're on that note, happy season premiere of 30 Rock!)
Best tracks: "Uptown Cabaret," "Skipping Rocks," "The Carter Barron"

MS MR – Candy Bar Creep Show
The blogosophere's already a-buzz about indie-pop group MS MR's latest EP Candy Bar Creep Show, so I'll offer this without too much explanation.
MS MR is an apt amalgamation of the some of the best indie-pop artists out there right now: a dash of Flo and the Machine, a sprinkle of Lana Del Rey, and maybe a little Alt-J to taste. The multi-part vocal arrangements and sweeping string parts on all four tracks are hauntingly beautiful, and the whole EP just, like, echoes. The group is on tour this fall with GroupLove, though many tickets are sold out.
Check out the provocative music video for "Dark Doo Wop" below. It's a real piece of art in my opinion.
Dark Doo Wop from MS MR on Vimeo.

Levek – Look A Little Closer
Indie folk band Levek is channeling its inner Simon and Garfunkel with its newest album, Look A Little Closer, which technically comes out on the 25th but is currently debuting on Hype Machine.
I don't make that Simon and Garfunkel reference lightly, as they're one of my favorite duos in basically all of pop culture. Levek deserves the comparison because of their lilting harmonies, quiet echoes, and cascading acoustic melodies. Give just one listen to "Canterbury Bell," and you'll catch my drift.
Although the S&G influences are pretty evident, Levek also mixes in some funkier sounds on tracks like "Muscat Mingle" and "Can't Buy This Love," which are perfect chill songs to counter the introspective mood of the rest of the album. On "Solemn Feeling Forever Healing," Levek introduces some cool vibe riffs that remind me a bit of Air. "French Lessons" rounds off the eclectic mix with instrumental experimentation that is simply pleasing to the ear.
Best track is most definitely "Girl in the Fog," which is full-fledged S&G with a little twinge of Fleet Foxes, making for an eerie but wonderful mix of old and new. It has a mysterious tranquility that gives it the quality of a song off of a 1970s movie soundtrack.
Watch out for Levek; they've got big things ahead.

Conservation International (CI)
Conservation International (CI) is a US-based international conservation organisation that applies innovations in science, economics, policy and community participation to protect the Earth?s richest regions of plant and animal diversity in the biodiversity hotspots, high-biodiversity wilderness areas as well as important marine regions around the globe. CI?s vision is that we imagine a healthy prosperous world in which societies are forever committed to caring for and valuing nature for the long-term benefit of people and all life on Earth. Building upon a strong foundation of science, partnership and field demonstration, CI empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature for the well-being of humanity.
CI is committed to helping societies adopt a more sustainable approach to development ? one that considers and values nature at every turn. Some of the lead programmes with activities underway supporting human well-being and poverty reduction research, implementation, and policy analysis include:
- The Science and Knowledge Division (formerly the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science) brings together leading experts in science and technology to collect and interpret data about biodiversity, develop strategic plans for conservation, and forge partnerships in all sectors that promote conservation goals.
- The Center for Conservation and Government (CCG) assists CI?s government partners in overcoming challenges in balancing conservation with their respective development goals, economic interests, and political realities, helping leaders understand and act on the important issues facing our planet?s ecological health. (www.conservation.org/discover/centers_programs/policy/Pages/default.aspx)
- The Center for Environmental Leadership in Business (CELB) engages the private sector worldwide in creating solutions to critical global environmental problems in which industry plays a defining role (www.celb.org).
- The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a joint programme of l'Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan, the MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. The fund is a global leader in enabling civil society to participate in and benefit from conserving some of the world's most critical ecosystems. A significant number of CEPF grants have provided the basis for improving incomes and economic well-being of poor communities (www.cepf.net).
- The Conservation Stewards Program (CSP) uses Conservation Agreements to achieve poverty reduction and improve human wellbeing while pursuing measurable conservation outcomes. Conservation Agreements are negotiated arrangements with communities in which development support is provided in exchange for contributions to conservation actions, thus reflecting a direct-incentive approach (www.conservation.org/csp).
- The Food Security Initiative is built upon the organisation?s extensive experience in promoting sustainable rural livelihoods all over the world and leading cutting edge applied research in the field. CI seeks to understand, demonstrate, enhance and leverage the role of nature in helping ensure that people have access to adequate food for a nutritious diet at all times.
- The Indigenous & Traditional Peoples Program is a key component of CI?s new strategy, well-positioned to help achieve CI?s vision for a healthy world and societies committed to caring for nature.
- Verde Ventures provides debt and equity financing to businesses that benefit healthy ecosystems and human well-being, such as agroforestry, ecotourism, sustainable harvest of wild products and marine initiatives. (www.conservation.org/sites/verdeventures/Pages/partnerlanding).
- The Population, Health and Environment programme seeks to reduce human impact and pressure on the limited natural resources in rural, biologically rich important areas and improve local conservation activities. As part of CI?s emerging institutional health security initiative, CI partners with the University of Rhode Island?s Coastal Resources Center and PATH Foundation Philippines, Inc. on the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-supported BALANCED Project (http://Balanced.crc.uri.edu). The Project seeks to improve the well-being of people living in critical watershed and coastal areas who depend on the ecosystem for food, income, livelihoods, and other goods and services.
CI?s scientists, field staff and policy experts are: measuring the contribution of healthy ecosystems to human well-being; assessing the implications of development decisions; putting cutting-edge, rigorously tested information in the hands of decision-makers and the public; and demonstrating through field models how economic opportunity and the stewardship of natural resources can leverage change at an international scale.
CI carries out projects aimed at linking poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation in each of the geographic areas listed below (www.conservation.org/explore/Pages/in_the_field.aspx).
CI has had a long running involvement in great ape conservation and poverty reduction projects in Africa:
? in Liberia, a western chimpanzee range state, they run the ?Green Economy? project to promote low-carbon development. This includes a field project at East Nimba Nature Reserve to demonstrate the value of ecosystem services for local people;
? in DRC CI works on training in conservation biology and supporting the Tayna Gorilla Reserve, a community-run conservation area for eastern lowland gorillas that benefits locals through ?healthcare, education and economic development programmes.? Tayna has been successful, with a radical decline in hunting and mining, and there is now a network of seven new community reserves in the area (UGADEC).

Newham Council is leading the way in regard to private landlord licensing in London.
The Evening Standard reports that those who wish to rent out property in this part of east London must purchase a licence prior to establishing tenancy agreements with their customers.
Private landlords who are found to be renting out homes without the relevant documentation will face fines up to £20,000.
This arrangement also means that the local authority has greater power over who becomes a landlord in the borough.
Commenting on the new system, Newham mayor Sir Robin Wales - who has just been named in the Standard's most influential Londoners 2009 list - told the publication: "Greedy landlords profiting from renting out sub-standard homes are not welcome here."
Newham Council's website states that the local authority aims to provide the community with better standards in the private rented sector.

That's Art: Georgia O'KeeffeApril 20, 2010
by Maya
Hello world! This week we are going to dedicate our attention to the fine arts and talk about people whose talent has enriched our lives.
"Nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small. We haven't time – and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe
I was first introduced to Georgia O'Keeffe as a teen when I saw a picture of one of her "Black Iris" paintings on the pages of an art magazine. I instantly fell in love with this painting, its colours, its form. It felt so vibrant and serene at the same time. I have loved her art ever since.
Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) was one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century. She is now best known for her still-life, particularly her oversized, almost abstract flower paintings. Her New York paintings are associated with the Precisionism style. Her later works were greatly inspired by the uniquely beautiful landscapes of New Mexico where she relocated after the death of her husband, famous photographer Alfred Stieglitz.
Her flowers were often interpreted as portrayals of female genitalia. Although O'Keeffe herself denied any sexual connotation in her paintings she became an icon of the feminist art movement due to her self-sufficient and independent life style.
"The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters."

text: Pregnancy and the birthing process are supposed to be a special experience with an outcome of a healthy baby in your arms. However, this is not always the case. Not all pregnancies are healthy and not all labor and deliveries go as smoothly as planned by both the mother and her team of physicians. In the United States, approximately of every 1,000 infants born, 6 to 8 of them are born with a birth injury. This means that about 1 in every 9,714 people in the U.S. are born with a birth injury. This roughly equates to 28,000 children...Read More >

Are you a LinkedIn loser?
Are you a LinkedIn loser?
Recruiters are usually prodigious users of LinkedIn but are they actually using LinkedIn effectively and building credibility and influence?
Many people like to believe they are doing all the right things but how do you really know if you are a LinkedIn super-user or a super loser? (tweet this)
How can you measure your LinkedIn effectiveness?
Well now you can, it's called the SSI – your Social Sales Index.
SSI is actually a pretty good way to measure how much influence you are having on LinkedIn. Whilst it is designed for sales people, its algorithm is focused on measuring those activities that increase your influence and this is really what being a great recruiter is all about.
The four main categories are;
Establish your professional brand
- Fully completed profile
- Media in profile
- Publishing posts
- Skill endorsements
Based on my experience of working with Recruiters, I would highlight the following points that may help improve your score in the above section;
- Add some media into your profile. Research shows that people would rather watch a video or browse through a presentation than read too much copy.
- Publish a post. Why not find your voice in your market and take the time to write some interesting and useful content that will resonate with your candidates/clients – hint: It doesn't have to be about recruitment!
Find the right people
- Boolean searches
- Introductions (Although this is currently broken by the new messaging feature)
- Join groups
- Profile views
This is the one section where Recruiters normally score well.
Engage with insights
- Share articles via status updates
- Like or comment on other updates
- Share pulse articles
- Group discussions
- InMail/message response rates
My advice is as follows;
- Make your status updates more interesting and engaging. Ask questions and use images and post more than just vacancies.
- Engage with your stream. Make brief comments on others updates and posts.
- Start or contribute to discussions in groups. Avoid posting links in isolation and aim to encourage debate.
- When sending a message, quote mutual connections and ask questions, this way people are much more likely to reply.
Connect and build relationships
- Connect and grow your network
- Multiple connections in one company
- Connect to colleagues
- Keep in touch with connections
- Create a plan to regularly keep in touch with valuable connections.
Each category has an equal weighting of 25% giving you a total score out of 100.
Whilst it is easy to find fault with any 'social monitoring' such as Klout or SSI, I do believe that your SSI score does give you some idea of your influence on LinkedIn — it may not be perfect but you will gain some benefit by aiming to improve your score.
Shockingly the average score for users in the Staffing & Recruiting industry (worldwide) is only 29 so the bar is not set especially high!
You can see your current SSI score here
Why not draw up a league table amongst your team and measure it on a monthly basis?
By focusing on these areas you are much more likely to build stronger relationships in your market and will all know that stronger relationships = great trust = better control = higher placement ratios = more money!

Polartec®Power Stretch®
Polartec® Power Stretch® fabrics feature body-hugging 4-way stretch and an incredibly breathable design thanks to their proprietary construction, which blends two unique surfaces. The durable nylon outer layer offers wind and abrasion resistance, while a soft polyester inner layer wicks moisture away from the skin.
- Moisture-wicking fabric ideal for outdoor adventures
- Keeps skin dry when you sweat
- Patented bi-component knit construction
- Uses different yarns on either side; one side moves moisture, the other dries quickly
Technology behind Polarec® Power Stretch®:
Stretch fabrics need dependable strength properties to consistently recover their original form after being pushed and pulled during activity. If an elastic fabric structure is overstretched it becomes permanently damaged and loses the ability to regain its original shape and performance qualities.
This is why Polartec® Power Stretch® is engineered with tensile resilience as a key feature of its construction. The next-to-skin surface keeps you warm and dry through touch points that diffuse and evaporate vapor moisture in the outer layer. Reinforced elastic fibers ensure the fabric consistently rebounds after every stretch.
How it works:
Polartec® Power Stretch® has the ability to retain warmth without restricting movement or agility during activities. The outer surface has a low-friction finish that reduces irritation when worn with other fabrics and increases overall abrasion resistance. The next-to-skin layer stays dry, breathable and comfortable by continuously transferring moisture vapor for rapid evaporation.
This versatility provides flexible support and warmth for reliable comfort in any fitness based activity. Polartec® Power Stretch® wicks moisture like a base material, but can handle direct exposure to the elements when necessary.
Main properties of Polartec®Power Stretch®:
- Nylon outer surface adds durability
- Body-hugging 4-way stretch provides unrestricted freedom of movement
- Keeps your skin dry when you sweat
- Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities
- Wind resistant to reduce the effects of wind chill
- Soft next-to-skin surface provides all-day comfort
- Machine washable

The Peacemaker
Pope Benedict XVI has decided to send one of the staunchest supporters of his liturgical reform in the Roman Curia away from the Eternal City. Why?
By Robert Moynihan
VATICAN CITY, June 12, 2009 — The Pope has decided that Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith (photo), the Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments and one of the strongest supporters of Benedict's liturgical reform, will be transferred this summer to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka (his native country), where he will become archbishop, reliable Vatican sources confirmed today. The decision will be announced publicly in the next few days, the sources said.
According to veteran Vaticanista Andrea Tornielli (but this has not been confirmed), Ranjith will be replaced by the American Dominican J. Augustine Di Noia (photo), who has been Undersecretary of the Congregation of the Doctrine for the Faith (CDF) since 2002, where he was in daily working contact with then-Cardinal Ratzinger, the Prefect of the CDF before he became Pope. "After having been the number three of Ratzinger, he (Di Noia) will now become the number two of the 'little Ratzinger,' a nickname given to Spanish Cardinal Cañizares Llovera, who leads the Congregation of Worship," Tornielli wrote in Il Giornale recently. "The liturgical dicastery is the Vatican office that has most often changed its Secretary in recent years: Di Noia will be the fourth in just seven years."
Many Vatican observers believe that the decision to send Ranjith away from Rome is a "victory" for liturgical progressives, and a "defeat" for liturgical traditionalists, since Ranjith has been a prominent champion of more solemnity and decorum in the celebration of the Mass in the new rite, and a supporter of wider use of the old rite, and this interpretation can be found in numerous articles and blogs on the internet.
However, it is not certain that this is the true interpretation. And there are reasons to interpret the appointment in a different way.
Colombo is not presently a cardinalatial see, but there has been a cardinal in Colombo in the past, so it is certainly a possibility that Ranjith could receive the red hat in an upcoming consistory — something he could not have received if he had remained as a secretary of the Congregation.
Ranjith was a bishop in Sri Lanka in the 1990s, but in 2001 Pope John Paul II called him to Rome, appointing him secretary under Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe at the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (Propaganda Fide). Due to tensions between the two, in April 2004, Ranjith — who was not a Vatican diplomat — was named the nuncio in Indonesia and East Timor. Then, after Pope Benedict was elected, in April 2005, he called Ranjith back to Rome, making him secretary of the Divine Worship Congregation in December, 2005.
Some thought that Ranjith would succeed Cardinal Francis Arinze as head of the Congregation upon Arinze's retirement for reason of age, but, Tornielli writes, Ranjith was "considered by his adversaries too close to the traditionalists and Lefebvrists."
Tornielli sums up the consensus view: "Ranjith's presence on the front lines in Asia will be important, because there the Church faces a decisive challenge. But it is difficult not to view his appointment as a 'promoveatur ut amoveatur' ('let him be promoted that he may be removed')."
Still, there is a Sri Lankan proverb: "The tiger who is outside of his cage is more dangerous than the tiger who is inside of his cage."
Ranjith, once in his own archdiocese, will have a chance to help bring true peace to his war-torn country, and to fight for social and economic justice in his homeland, something he has written and spoken about often in the past.
It is known that the president of Sri Lanka twice visited Rome in recent years, and twice told Pope Benedict that he would appreciate Ranjith's contribution to the peace process in his country, as Ranjith is respected by all sides.
In this perspective, one could perhaps imagine that Benedict has actually followed the opposite logic from that which most Vatican watchers see here: "amoveatur ut promoveatur" ("let him be removed that he may be promoted").
Only time will tell whether Ranjith will rise to the challenge his new post poses, and become a true peacemaker, binding up the wounds caused by a long civil war, as well as continuing to be a supporter of reverence and decorum in the Church's liturgy, as desired by Pope Benedict.
Note: Inside the Vatican will soon publish an in-depth interview with Archbishop Ranjith.
"Inside the Vatican is a magazine I read cover to cover. I find it balanced and informative. I especially appreciate its coverage of art and architecture. It is not only an important magazine, it is also a beautiful one." —Prof. Mary Ann Glendon, Harvard University Law School, former United States Ambassador to the Holy See

CrAFT have been busy this Winter! First, we brought our famous FairTrade crêpes to the Beacon Community College Christmas Fair. While it drizzled outside, visitors were able to enjoy warm Fairtrade crêpes filled with Fairtrade banana, Fairtrade melted chocolate, or Fairtrade lemon juice with Fairtrade sugar.
Then, a week later, CrAFT came to the rescue of visitors to Crowborough's Christmas lights switch-on. Temperatures on the afternoon of the 30th November were icy, but we had Fairtrade drinking chocolate and iced cup-cakes to keep visitors warm.
There will be more events in 2013 – check the website regularly!
If you're interested in helping to promote Fairtrade in Crowborough, please e-mail email@example.com. For more information about the Fairtrade movement, click here.

You've got your own business and need to sell your product to succeed. Whatever your product–flowers, candy, bicycles, clothing–you name it, you need to market yourself to grow. Believe it or not, lead follow up is one of the most overlooked tasks in every business.
You may spend a lot of money on advertising, but if you don't have an automated lead follow up system, you are leaving money on the table. Does this sound like you: Most small business owners become so focused on taking care of the customers they have, they don't spend the time, money, or energy to follow up on their leads. This doesn't mean that you ignore your leads. It means you follow up with them one time, but then don't have the time to get back to them for additional follow up.
The reality is that not everyone is ready to make a purchasing decision today. Someone may call you for information about your product but may not be ready to buy for a month. Or two months. Or six months. How do you stay in touch with them? You create an automatic mailing campaign and let the system communicate with them for you.
Blue Orchid Marketing will help you develop a turn-key service to follow up with all leads. Your leads will drop from your web site into your Blue Orchid database, where they'll begin a multi-step follow up campaign. If you receive a call about a product, you simply enter the contact information in your Blue Orchid database and identify a mailing campaign for that caller. The system takes over and sends regular communications to your new contact to stay in touch with them.
We also offer a service to our clients to handle any administrative tasks associated with the software, such as setting up your campaigns, printing and mailing letters, and maintaining the information in your database. You can achieve an digital marketing strategy without increasing the manpower hours in your firm.
And don't overlook communications with your past customers. The key to successful marketing is repeated, regular and targeted contact. Make sure you are selling other products to your customers who have already purchased from you. Create a monthly newsletter or tip sheet to stay in touch and increase the odds that they will purchase from you again.
If you stop communicating after the sale, your customer (or potential customer) won't be thinking of you. Just as bad, and possibly worse, former customers won't remember your name when a friend is looking for a referral. Regular and frequent communications insure you will remain top of mind with your contacts.
You may be thinking that you understand the importance of this, but you don't have the time or the money or the manpower to make this happen. Or maybe you think this software is for big companies, not for you.
The truth is we designed our software specifically for small businesses like yours. You know, there will always be reasons NOT to get started. But if you are committed to growing your business, we can help you make it happen. No excuses! Blue Orchid Marketing offers a software solution that is affordable and easy to implement. Let us show you how easy it is!
We'll train you step-by-step so you'll know everything you need to know to set up a campaign. Or we can do it for you with our Virtual Assistant Service. We'll provide you with templates for your campaigns. We'll explain how a successful campaign works and make sure you implement it for success. We will insure that your campaign is integrated with your web site. And if you don't have email addresses for everyone, send emails where you can and hard copy mailings to the others. No one gets overlooked, and the system manages all of this for you.
We guarantee you won't be left to figure it out on your own. We'll guide you each step of the way with personal interaction, training and advice.
Here are some examples of the ways you can use Blue Orchid Marketing to make your business grow:
- Drip campaigns focused on prospective customers
- Drip campaigns targeted to buyers of certain products
- New customer campaigns
- Electronic newsletters
- Announcements, Sales Events
- Birthday/Holiday cards
- Tip Sheets
Use your marketing software to establish a brand identity that makes customers want to come to you. We'll give you ideas on how to attract new customers and what to do with the leads after you have attracted their attention. Market to the kinds of customers you want and shape your business to be the one you always dreamed of.
If you're ready to make a change in your business and ramp up your marketing efforts, contact us now to get started. You'll find it's the best decision you ever made.

Well I realized that I wrote about my religious experience at Super Suppers, but I haven't updated on the actual product from that experience, so here goes.
I bought six meals again: Ravioli with Italian Sauce, Heavenly Chicken, Sirloin and Potato Bake, Chicken Cacciatore, Beef and Broccoli, and Honey-Ginger Chicken Grill. I'm going to try and vary the menu a little more next month because this month was really heavy on the chicken. We sometimes end up eating chicken three days in a row.
The Sirloin and Potato Bake was made with tater tots, which was not specified on the menu. R will not eat tater tots, so I was a little dissapointed with that. It actually turned out to taste really good. I made something else for R. As for the Beef and Broccoli stir fry, I think that I will probably separate the baggie of meat in the future and just defrost that so that I can cook the vegetables frozen. This is how most frozen stir frys work. When I defrost the whole shebang, the veggies got kind of soggy, but the meal still tasted good.
Somehow we got a little wonked out on our leftovers, so usually only three people are actually eating the Super Suppers (R, my sister, and the Moosh). I generally get stuck with leftovers, which I am loathe to eat, and so they often get thrown out and I get Taco Bell instead. I am going to try and rectify that next month, because that's not the point of buying Super Suppers. It worked much better when I was splitting the meals amongst the four of us.
Overall, again, the quality of the food is really good. The Heavenly Chicken is probably my favorite. I also enjoyed the Honey Ginger Chicken.
Next month I will be purchasing 12 meals so that I can pay less and so I only have to go once. Because of all the picky eaters I'm feeding I will be doubling up on certain meals we like and skipping others altogether. I am still trying to figure out why Super Suppers includes a dessert item as an entree. On their June menu (scroll down to the bottom of the page), they offer Peach Bread Pudding as one of the choices. They also had a dessert in April. I'm not really interested in buying desserts, ya know?
So, for me, Super Suppers still receives a thumbs up. This time I will be going to a class in the city where I live, and skip the religious experience. Now I just have to convince my sister to baby sit. Maybe I can offer her a Super Supper.

24 years and counting
I haven't done a UAE National Day post (not that I can remember - my aging brain being what it is). Unlike most (expat) folks - especially my fellow Indians - I have not amassed any wealth. Not the conventional kind anyway but (cannot resist the cliche) a vast wealth of new experiences and memories, some very strong friendships (with all its attending ups and downs) and a new home. UAE: Where I remember that most weekends (especially during cooler weather), we escaped to the depths of the wadis and the desert in the Northern Emirates and the only way was through Sharjah of course. On the way back, we always stopped at the best fish restaurant in Sharjah near Al Khan - Sanobar where the mom was in the kitchen, dad took the orders and the sons (when they were home from Uni) were the waiters. The fish was always fresh from the nearby fishing village and cooked to perfection over a barbecue converted from an oil drum. The fish place is still there - the sons have grown up and I hear they're running the place now. Unfortunately, we don't go through Sharjah as often and haven't been to Sanobar in a long time.
UAE: Where I went from debauched weekends (where I started the weekend on Thursday afternoon in the pub at the Lodge, followed by the one at the Ambassador (now what was that one called), Pancho's was hopping by now, and then back to The Lodge when I used to get home AFTER breakfast at The Lodge) to spending lazy mornings getting an omelette paratha sandwich with chilli and cheese (you have to try it to believe it), washed down with a glass of karak chai.
UAE: Where my friend and I decided we had to have dinner on the beach behind our house and carried our table, chairs, wine and barbecue for a dinner under the stars just because we could.
UAE: Where I have eaten like a pauper and a king and enjoyed both
UAE: Where I learnt to play Rugby and Softball and played in tournaments
UAE: Where I tried Sushi for the first time
UAE: Where I made friends that come from all over the world and despite the "transient society" forged friendships some of which have lasted close to 20 years
UAE: Where I learned to fish and tasted fresh Tuna sashimi on the boat, Dorado and Cigalis
UAE: Where I continue to live and thrive with new experiences every day, that gives me a community that inspires me.
Happy 42nd National Day UAE and I hope you will let me stay and accummulate more - I'm not done yet!

Speaking on E! News on Thursday she said: "Rob is living in L.A. right now, he is doing well finding out what makes him tick. He is struggling with some stuff but my job is to be there for him and love him as hard as I can.
Kris Jenner has spoken of her son Rob"s struggle for the first time
"Everyone goes through stuff and we get through each other"s adversity one year at a time."
Unlike the rest of the Kardashian clan, Rob, 27, has recently maintained a low profile. He surprised celebrity followers when he skipped his sister Kim Kardashian"s wedding to rapper Kanye West in Florence, Italy.
Having flown to Europe with his family, Rob is understood to have booked a last-minute flight home after having an argument with the bride-to-be.
Rob Kardashian surprised fans when he missed his sister Kim"s Florence wedding
According to website X17, a row broke out when Kim asked family members to wear Valentino couture for a pre-wedding lunch at the Italian designer"s house.
Rob is said to have been unable to fit into any of the clothes because of his recent weight gain, which led Kim to criticise him for making "no effort to drop any weight over the past months".
"Rob basically equated that to Kim caring about him only for his appearance and he said he"d "make life easier" for her and just leave," a source told the website.
The sock designer has been rumoured to have been battling weight gain and depression for several months now. In April he was admitted to rehab for the treatment of depression, according to reports.
Just this week he seemed to be sending out a message via the Twittersphere, unfollowing everyone on his Twitter account except for his mum Kris Jenner and sister Kylie Jenner.

Review Overview
Operating Time (hours)
Cleaning Capabilities
Warranty and Support
Average !
Summary : If you need a comprehensive, bulletproof robotic vacuum that can clean large spaces while being completely silent and requiring no legwork from you, then you shouldn't get this one.
The title should catch your eye – in the world of robotic vacuum cleaners, Hovo 510 is on the lower end of the spectrum. You don't get much cheaper than Hovo 510.
The question is, though, can Infinuvo deliver a quality product with such a low price point?
The answer is yes… and no. It does some things very well, but it lacks a few features that some people might find vital. We're going to take all of the guesswork out of your research – read below for a comprehensive review on the Hovo 510.
Let's start with the guarantee
If you've never owned a robotic vacuum before, you might be skeptical on how it works. We don't blame you – robotics are relatively new, and let's be honest… quite a few robotic vacuums just don't live up to the hype.
With Infinuvo, there's no risk. They offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can return it within 30 days for any reason at all
– you don't even have to provide one, if you don't want. They pay for return shipping, too.
On top of that, there's a 1-year warranty for US customers. This is pretty standard, but it's always nice knowing that if something does go wrong, the company will fix it at no cost to you. (They pay for shipping on repairs, just as they do for returns.)
Let's move onto the actual unit.
What it has that's good
Even at small price, the Hovo 510 doesn't compromise on features. It has everything that you'd expect a robotic vacuum cleaner to have.
Scheduling option
You can instruct the Hovo 510 to run at a certain time every day, or you can set individual times for every day of the week. You can even have it run while you're sleeping – just make sure to close your bedroom door so it doesn't wake you up.
Returns to charge when it's dead
Cheaper robotic vacuums leave this feature out. If they die, they just die and sit there until you either recharge it or trip over it.
The Hovo 510 will detect when it's low on battery, and it'll return to the charging station. When it's good to go, it'll scoot over to where it left off and resume its work like nothing happened.
Remote for precision cleaning
We all have those areas in our houses that seem to always be dirty. A remote is included that uses UV light – basically, you just point the remote at a certain area of your floor, and the Hovo 510 will immediately stop what it's doing and focus on that.
Included: virtual blockers
Most low-end robotic cleaners will cut corners and force you to buy virtual blockers. Infinuvo doesn't make you do that. You can close doors to block off entire rooms, and if you'd like to block off a certain portion of a certain room, you can do so with the virtual blocker. This makes it easy to get a clean in without disturbing you.
What it's bad at
At low-end price range, it can't be perfect – but according to reviewers, there are only a few downsides.
The middle of rooms
Customers say that the unit does a great job along the edges of rooms, but might leave a little bit of dust in the middle. This isn't the end of the world, as the edges of your rooms are usually the dirtiest.
It moves small furniture
Anything that's light and small (like an electrical cord) will be pushed around by the Hovo 510. However, it doesn't "ram" into things – if it touches any of your possessions, it'll do so without harming them.
The "quick fixes" for the bad
You can do one of two things – spend a lot on a perfect robotic vacuum cleaner, or spend a little on an almost-perfect one like the Hovo 510 and take the necessary steps to make it perfect.
Use the remote for problem areas
You noticed that a few different areas are still dirty after a session? Just pick up the remote and point it at those areas. Because the unit is always on and charging in its dock, it'll jump out, clean those areas, and get out of sight right away.
Clean your house…
Would an ordinary maid clean around all of your possessions? Probably not… she'd probably pick them up before she tried to clean.
Imitate a maid and clean your floors of any objects before letting the unit run. This will ensure that it doesn't push around anything small.
Bonus: the support is excellent
If you do run into a problem, Infinuvo's support is quick to respond and actually helpful. Many reviewers have had experiences with support, and they all had positive ones.
Should you get it?
If you're on a budget, then yes, you should get this model. Even though it has some flaws, they're easily corrected with a little bit of work from you.
If it's your first robotic vacuum cleaner, then yes, you should get it. It's cheap so you can test the waters… and on top of that, you can return it within 30 days for any reason. Peace of mind is important with bigger purchases like this.
If you need a comprehensive, bulletproof robotic vacuum that can clean large spaces while being completely silent and requiring no legwork from you, then you shouldn't get this one. You should get a more expensive robotic vacuum cleaner. However, keep in mind that this small improvement will cost you a couple hundred dollars more.

The title track "Good Good Lovin" is a nod to British classic blues rock as is "Got Love". "21st Century Blues" features a thumping hello from Canada to modern Texas electric blues, "I'm Alright" is a riff-based romp, "Heaven Heaven" features Durst's signature slide guitar style, "King Snake Prowl" is a powerful shuffle with a guitar siren ending, "What Could Have Been Love" is another in a line of serious goose-bump inducing blues songs from Durst and DeAngelis, "Northern Electric" is a blues music massage, finally to the tender and beautiful guitar display on the country blues, rock and roll classic "I Regret To Say". Good Good Lovin is blessed with the talents of producer, engineer, mixer Darren Morrison whose never-ending search for the ultimate "Durst Sound" has helped solidify Durst's status as one of Canada's premier blues-rockers. Multiple award winning Bill Durst has written and recorded over 125 songs on 12 albums and opened for Aerosmith, Yardbirds, Little Feat, Johnny Winter, Bad Company and many more. Durst is accompanied on the album by drummer Corey Thompson, who has an esteemed studio career and bassist Joe DeAngelis, the original singer for Thundermug.
This recording is an important example of dedicated musicians giving their full talent, vision, experience and joy to modern Canadian blues rock.
Now ain't that Good Good Lovin!
Durstwerks Recordings announces the official arrival of Good Good Lovin, the fifth full length album from Stratford, Ontario based guitarist, singer, songwriter, and member of the Jack Richardson Hall of Fame Bill Durst. Whether as a 19 year old on his first hit record with pioneering classic Canadian rock band Thundermug or on the new Good Good Lovin tracks, Bill Durst's style is based in blues and rock played with maximum feeling and soul. Good Good Lovin is big, big fun, no-holds barred, tender-loving, kickass Canadian blues rock.
"Every once in a while in the life of an artist the gods do smile", says Durst "…and you are helped by unseen hands". Good Good Lovin is reason to smile indeed and a turning point in this period of Bill Durst's long and distinguished career. "After experimenting for a few years I think we have found our musical sweet spot". Bearded Bill and his writing partner, bassist Joe DeAngelis, agree that writing this album was a powerful experience and this nine song collection certainly delivers.
GOOD, GOOD LOVIN' Bill Durst Sweet Mother of God, what have I just heard?!? This is the 5th solo album by former Thundermug guitarist Bill Durst from Stratford, Ontario, and it's one of the most exciting records I have heard in a very long time. Continue Reading...

I love the ones they do have in the pack that look like these but more of them then not are against subluxation and just yellow my chiro loves me and like maybe 25 of them are the funky animals and more kid friendly ones in the picture
They are a variety of stickers but was hoping there were more of the fun ones for kids. 2/3rds of them were subluxation crossed out. Young kids don't choose those like they would a dinosaur or zoo animal. Other wise great price and fun chiropractic stickers for the kids.
Mostly no subluxation and my chiro loves me stickers. not favorites for kids!
Kids love stickers! Although I received a variety it was a majority of no subluxation stickers. Not a favorite of the kids! Wishes there was a better variety.
The variety was not as pictured I received 30 stickers kids would not want and the rest what is pictured.

[READER QUESTION] Are No Annual Fee Credit Cards Good to Have?
Credit cards with no annual fee are always good to keep in your wallet or at home in order to increase your total available credit and average age of accounts. As we mentioned in a previous post, your credit score is based on five aspects: payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit and types of credit used. The longer you hold a card, then the better the average age of all accounts will be higher. In other words, having credit cards with no annual fee will play a significant part in building your credit score.
In the past, annual fee credit cards would generally mean better rewards, better travel and medical insurance. In reality, many credit cards with no annual fee today give comparable benefits and rewards. As long as you're paying your bills every month, then keeping these cards around will keep your credit score in line.
Three no-annual fee credit cards I would recommend having are the MBNA Smart Cash Platinum Card, American Express SimplyCash Card and the RBC Cash Back MasterCard as they off the best cash back rewards in comparison to other Canadian credit cards.

Dubai is one of the most wonderful cities of the world. There are lots of things to do like Yacht Hire Dubai. Hence, lots of tourists visit the city. But there are some points that should be kept in mind while visiting this wonderful city. Let's have a look at them at a time:
Dress modestly
As UAE is an Islamic Country, you should be very careful regarding your dressing style. Your dressing style should be modest which a way of respecting their local customs is. Bikinis and bathing suits can be worn by the women in the beaches but not in public places. That means she cannot wear such clothes even while on the way to the beach or back to her hotel room. Hence, make sure that she doesn't wear revealing omoneyutfits in Dubai like short skirts or any others. On the other side, men should never wear a shirt.
Always go for proper money exchanges
Never exchange your money by the local currency on the street. Always exchange your currency by the UAE Dirham in a bank, at a mall ATM or at a hotel. Getting the currency exchange on the street is not at all safe and you might also won't get the right amount in exchange.
A big 'No' to the public display of affection
The public display of affection and homosexuality are considered to be offensive not only in Dubai but in the entire country of UAE. Dubai falls under Sharia Law and therefore, some travel agencies would recommend the unmarried couples to stay in different rooms in the hotels.
Avoid drugs
If you are on the visit to the city, you should avoid taking drugs with you. If at all you need to then make sure that they are not illegal. If it is found otherwise then you would have to spend a considerable amount of time in the jail as a punishment for the same. For the safer side, double check with your embassy to ensure that your prescription drugs are allowed in the country. Some drugs are regulated and need approval while in some others you will have to carry a note from your physician.
Do not consume alcohol in public
In Dubai, alcohol itself is strictly banned. However, you can purchase it from a few Duty Free Shops on your way to UAE. Tourists cannot purchase alcohol in a local liquor store as Dubai residents must have an alcohol license. You can purchase drinks in restaurants and bars but the public drunkenness as well as drinking and driving is strictly prohibited.
Be very careful while taking photographs
Without permission, never take a snap with a person who is not with you. There are some tourist areas where photography is not at all prohibited while at the same time watch out while photographing some government buildings, docks, airports, military installations or any destination having similar nature. Also, never take a picture of a Muslim woman without her permission.
Check your driving license
If you want to travel and explore the city then you can go for public transportation as there are many. But if you want to drive your own then you need to get an international driver's license. If you want to be Dubai's residence then get a permanent Dubai driver's license.
