Gel Stress Reliever Balls & Stress Relief Toys
For real stress situations you need to go for a top shelf solution. These gel stress relieving balls are shipped direct from the USA where as we no they have a lot to worry about! these soft, squishy gel filled stress shapes are unlike the usual foam rubber models; they can be warped to substantially change shape and the more you can change their shape the more stress you'll feel fall away. Stress balls are often an over used promotional idea when a company fails to look more deeply into the marketing challenges it faces. Gel relieving stress balls are an inspired choice in such a situation and won't join the dusty collection of other stress relievers relegated to the bottom drawer of a desk.
Filled with a non-toxic silicone filled liquid gel the range of gel stress reliever toys are general supplied with one colour print because of the flexible substrate, it's difficult to get a satisfactory print result attempting to apply to colours. Let the gel stress toy do the talking; apply subtle branding and FreeCall Fresh Promotions on 1800 129 999 to speak with a consultant about availability and delivery.
Guide to Using Gel Stress Toys In Promotional Activity
Gel stress toys provide an entirely new aesthetic and feel to the classic stress shape or toy. These products are filled with soft, but resistant, gel materials that allow them to be squeezed in an effort to relieve stresses both mental and physical, and placing branding on these products is an inexpensive way to gain a brand some very positive exposure.
When giving a gel stress shape, a brand can relay an idea of caring for their recipients, as these are products meant to improve the health and well-being of those using them. This feeling of caring can then allow a brand to be associated with a considerate nature in the minds of their audience, gaining them positive exposure and a compassionate impression.
Brands in all industries can use a gel stress shape for promotional purposes, and these shapes can take many forms to create a piece that connects with the brand it is representing. Hearts, sports balls, spheres, and stars are just some of the designs available with these items, and a brand has the ability to choose a shape that relates to their company, allowing a recipient to be reminded of not only the brand name but what industry they are in as well, each time they use their item.
Gel stress toys are affordable items within the marketing budget reach of brands of all sizes. A brand has the ability to partake in widespread distribution, if they should choose, using these products without any worry of breaking a marketing budget.
Custom Manufacture & Branding Options
Unlike other stress shapes which may be made of a foam or rubber material, gel stress shapes are made of water-tight materials and a soft gel that allows these to feel natural in the hand. Gel stress shapes with special textures, such as those that contain small balls, are also available for a unique look and feel.
Pad printing is used to brand promotional gel stress shapes or toys, and this method gives a brand the opportunity to print their logo or name in a range of colours on their items. While often one colour option is available, this colour may be chosen personally by a brand to create an item that remains visible and perfectly represents them. The print area on these pieces, which is reserved for branding, may be located on the top, side, or front face of the item depending on the chosen product's shape.
Promotional Case Study
A health food store held a promotion where they gave a gel stress toy to customers who purchased over a certain amount in their store. These stress toys were branded with the shop's name and logo, and customers were very pleased to accept these gifts with purchase. After the promotion had ended, the store had received so many inquiries about the stress shapes that they had begun selling them in the shop as part of their inventory.
Shipping & Distribution
For a personal connection, handing these products directly to recipients is often best; however, they may be shipped affordably due to their size and weight.

All of America's cool and interesting people are in Austin, Texas for SXSW, right now (or will be sometime in the next week or so). Music geeks, movie nerds, television snobs, bloggers, photogs, and the like swarm the city to catch That English Basement Band You Saw Some Spin Intern Tweet About rock some faces off in a parking lot/coffee shop/concert venue.
Also, there's art.
This year, you can bet that nerdiest of all the nerds will be gawking at Game of Thrones-themed art courtesy of Mondo, the company responsible for all of the cool movie posters you see on the Internet.
Mondo, which was born out of Alamo founder Tim League's vintage iron-on T-shirt enterprise Mondo Tees, enlisted some of its best and brightest artists for the show, including San Francisco Blade Runner aficionado Craig Drake, on-record Game of Thrones fan Daniel Danger, and rock poster designer Ken Taylor. It also brought on artists previously unknown to the Mondo roster like Sanjulian and Audrey Kawasaki. Some of the artists were already familiar with the terrain of Westeros, but some had to be indoctrinated — not that they minded.
So, if you happen to be heading down to Texas for SXSW, be sure to bring back that awesome print of Khaleesi eating the heart. It's only $1,500. You can just drop it at 801 Market Street. Thanks in advance. [Wired]

Jimmy Fallon Enlists Stars to 'Sing' Most Polarizing Christmas Song Of All Time

Between the famous Back Home Ballers + Adam Sandler's one-of-a-kind jingle, you really can't go wrong.
Over the past few years, SNL has often turned the opening monologue over to their guest host to let them to whatever the heck they want, especially since the default "We Have No Idea What To Do" tactic of having them break into song is officially getting old. Hosts like Amy Schumer and Louis C.K. use this as an opportunity to try out new stand-up material, but Matthew McConaughey took the chance to share an anecdote.
Remember the days of a tanned, shirtless Matthew McConaughey? How about the suave bearded McConaughey at the Oscars? We regret to inform you that such things exist only in the past.
There are a lot of highly complicated moves in Magic Mike. But, despite the degree of difficulty, Channing Tatum never once used a stunt double. All those backflips, grinds and spins were all his moves. Not bad, but when you consider Tatum himself used to be a male stripper, it all makes sense. This is just one of the facts packed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which backs up on ya with Magic Mike.
HBO's True Detective smashed time into a flat circle by its blockbuster first season, but did you know that creator Nic Pizzolatto originally intended the story as his next novel? Or that Matthew McConaughey's Rustin Cohle only drinks eight beers over the course of the series? These are just some of the case files pulled from the twelfth episode of 'You Think You Know TV?,' which investigates the occult drama of of HBO's True Detective!
HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire' season 4 premiere "New York Sour" may have been the toast of the premium cable network on Sunday night, but among all the popping corks, the first trailer for the 2014 Woody Harrelson-Matthew McConaughey dark crime thriller 'True Detective' emerged from the depths. Are you ready for a first look at the gritty new A-lister drama?
David O. Russell's 'Silver Linings Playbook' was the big winner at this year's Independent Spirit Awards, taking home four awards including Best Feature. Of course, the debate asking why a mainstream, star-studded box office smash beat out the actual indie fare at the Independent Spirit Awards, but that's a conversation for another time. Check out the rest of winners below!
This is Matthew McConaughey. We know, right? McConaughey - frequently seen looking quite buff running on the beach - lost 40 pounds to play a man suffering from AIDS for the upcoming indie film 'The Dallas Buyer's Club' and looks almost unrecognizable while filming a scene on the New Orleans set.

Lucy Octave topples fourth seed and storms into quarters
Lucy Octave scored a sensational win over fourth seed Sofia Samavati at Windsor yesterday to reach the quarter-finals of the Belfast City ITF junior tournament for the second year in a row.
And Sam Bothwell is through to the last eight of the boys event but there was an agonising defeat for Matthew O'Boyle who had three match points against the third seed only to lose in the final set.
Octave was involved in a tense and sometimes attritional contest with the Dane but she held her composure to win 6-1, 6-3.
The Donaghadee player called for the tournament referee early in the match and an umpire was sent onto the court to keep a close eye on proceedings.
"I asked for an umpire to come on after the third game because there had already been a few dodgy line-calls and I didn't want it to affect my game later on," said the 17-year-old Ulster senior champion.
"Then she had a back problem and she asked for the physio to come on and at 3-0 in the second set she came on again.
"The umpire then overruled one of her calls and she didn't take it well so she asked for the referee again - it was all very dramatic.
"It was a challenge to stay focused because there were so many breaks in play but I managed to stay clam and control it.
"I could have let it affect me more when I was 3-0 up as it then went to 3-2 but, luckily, I was able to keep it together and close it out.
"She took forever between points and didn't rush herself, she really slowed things down. But it was a good win and I'm happy with how I played."
Octave now faces a familiar adversary today in the shape of British player Alice Gillan, who beat the Ulster girl last week at Malahide.
"I definitely know a wee bit more how to play her and I am looking forward to it but she's been playing well and getting to the final last week has helped her confidence.' she added.
"But I am also feeling more confident after that win today so it should be a good match."
Windsor's Laura Reid was unable to join Octave in the last eight though, as she bowed out 5-7, 6-0, 6-1 to Britains' Maria Budin, the seventh seed.
Bothwell, meanwhile, will meet Irish wild card entry Cian Maguire in the quarter-finals today after a 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Poland's Maksymillian Raupuk.
"Once again I made a slow start and I can still play a lot better so, hopefully, the match with Cian, whom I've never played before, will be a turning point." said the Hillsborough teenager, who is based in Spain.
O'Boyle went out in heartbreaking fashion after third-ranked British teen Adam Jones snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to win 6-4, 6-7, 7-5.
The Bangor lad led 4-1 and 5-2 in the final set and had match points to win it but it wasn't to be after he had secured a place in the second round of an ITF tournament for the first time 24 hours earlier.
"His opponent had a net cord when saving one of the points and Matthew could probably have put it away to win the match but he will learn from this and it's been a great week for him," said O'Boyle's coach, Paul Watt.

A veritable throne, this Darius, from which to look out over your own kingdom. Whilst you lean back luxuriantly against the protecting high back, you savour the lightly sprung frame. The armrests run in a flowing line into the seat and back. They add the finishing touch to the perfect organic shape. Sit down in Darius and you recognise the refinement and the Leolux craftsmanship: the playful stitching, the smart upholstery and the clever concave front make standing up easy for tall and shorter users. The matching footstool fits perfectly into the concave shape of the front so you can comfortably extend the seat. With Darius, the veteran Jan Armgardt has yet again created a very successful design for Leolux. It rightfully deserves the title of King among the luxury Leolux armchairs.

Would you please let me know your release plan on Code First Approach for developing industrial strength application?
We don't publish release plans. Beyond saying that it is our intent to do some more work on Code First, I can't really say more. For the time being, we recommend that for industrial-strength applications you work Model First. Please note
that this does not literally mean that you have to write the Model first - it just means that you have to have an explicit entity model, held in a .edmx file, and that this needs to be kept in synch with your domain code, by whatever means you
prefer. Given that advanced use of Code First often involves maintaining imperative assertions outside the domain model (albeit in C# code) I don't see the explicit entity model as a major disadvantage.

Thanks to the Internet and increasing opportunities for remote working, more people can move abroad, get rid of "GO TO WORK COME BACK HOME" life and live like "digital nomads."
These are the people who are fond of travelling and they love to work while exploring places and telecommute and live nomadic lifestyles — spending as much time as they'd like in cities of their choosing.
Digital nomads earn a living, many of them in the tech industry among many different sectors. Contrary to popular opinion, they're not out on the beach or on Instagram all the time.
Digital nomads have their own Facebook groups with tens of thousands of members and a Reddit group which has 25,000 subscribers. Digital nomad conferences are held in Asia and Europe.
"Before that it was a tiny fringe scene," says Pieter Levels, a Dutch programmer who has worked remotely from different cities for the last three years.
"Now it's actually becoming a normal thing and it's a popular topic among my (non-nomad) friends. People are up for it."
In 2014, Levels started a site called Nomad List, a website that crowdsources information to share with fellow nomads.
Over the years, people have contributed their thoughts on topics like the weather, how much English is spoken, safety, Wi-Fi and monthly cost of living across hundreds of cities etc. like these many topics were discussed on the sites and people's opinions were flooded all over the site,people love to share their views with the like minded people.
The results are these 10 most popular cities for digital nomads, based on real-time check-ins on Nomad List.
1. Chiang Mai, Thailand
This mountainous city perpetually ranks at the top for digital nomads as a calm place to work and play.
"It's the perfect combination of low costs of living, stable Wi-Fi, friendly people and community," says Johnny Jen, who left his corporate job in California to move to Chiang Mai.
"There's also a ton of culture, great food, warm weather, a great coffee scene and all of the comforts of a big city while having a laid back, easygoing vibe."
Depending on how well you budget, you can live on $600 to $1,500 a month, says Jen, who blogs about Chiang Mai living.
According to users, the city is very safe and boasts a number of co-working spaces.
Monthly estimated cost :$943
2. Bangkok, Thailand
With a scrammbling nightlife, Bangkok is a stark contrast to quiet Chiang Mai.
Bangkok "has all of the big city perks," says Jen. Nomads found the city extremely affordable, with a basic meal costing on average $2.27.
But digital nomads haven't been impressed with the air quality and weather — it can get hot.
Monthly estimated costs: $1,439
3. London, Uk
With its increasingly sophisticated start-up scene and crazy amount of activities, London is a major draw for digital nomads.
The digital nomads love the lively nightlife and never ending opportunities.
However, the cost of living is high and the dust has yet to settle from last week's game-changing vote for the UK to quit the EU.
Monthly estimated costs: $3,264
4. Berlin, Germany
This is a more affordable Western Europe route.
The city draws a younger, start-up crowd. People who stay in Berlin ranked it highly for a great quality of life, safety and brotherhood.
The downside is that central heating and air conditioning is not Germany's forte. Prepare to sweat.
Monthly estimated costs: $2,323
5. San Francisco, USA
Your wallet will get much slimmer here, but at least you'll have new memories.
San Francisco has the highest rent in the United States, with an average one-bedroom apartment going for $3,590. You might be sharing it with more housemates than you ever thought possible.
But San Francisco's charms can't be denied with its high ratings for quality of life, Wi-Fi and nightlife.
Monthly estimated costs: $4,523
6. Amsterdam, Netherlands
Start-ups are increasing in this city along with more innovative co-working spaces.
Nomads love the atmosphere,thought process of people.
But settling in Amsterdam is not necessarily cheap.
Monthly estimated costs: $3,628
7. Prague, czech republic
It's hard to beat the scenery of Prague with its majestic architecture and historic streets.
The city was highly rated for being friendly to women, great nightlife and entertainment.
But it scored poorly for air quality, racial tolerance and English-speaking.

text: Im sorry if this question has been asked before but i just wanna ask real quick about this. I had two people on my favorites that I didnt want on there anymore. So i went to their Edit Contacts page and removed them from the favorites. However once i went into the People page, i noticed they were not there. The only way I can see them is if i click the + on the favorites page. I just want to figure out how to get the contacts out of there and back into the People page. Also, one of the contacts i removed from the favorites suddenly popped up again on the favorites but this time it was his synced facebook profile i want that off the favorites too but his "edit contact" thing is missing. What do I do? Thanks again greatly appreciate any answers

Picture: Rupert Murdoch arriving for the 2012 Wimbledon men's final between Roger Federer (SWI) and Andy Murray (SCO) on Centre Court London, England - 08.07.12
Advertising Age media columnist Simon Dumenco is predicting that the current flap in the U.K. over alleged widespread hacking of the voicemails of celebrities and politicians by Rupert Murdoch's tabloid News of the World will serve as an "epic legal distraction" for Murdoch just as he attempts to erect paywalls at two of his London newspapers, the Times and the News of the World. Dumenco foresees the paywall scheme failing, since any exclusive reports of interest appearing in the two newspapers will undoubtedly be picked up by other free news sites. "While Murdoch attempts to do the impossible ... he's also personally getting entangled in his own Watergate, a scandal that could very well consume his attention until he dies," he writes. Dumenco predicts that the NoW scandal and the presumed paywall failure will cause Murdoch to shutter and/or sell his newspapers. "This will happen a lot sooner than the increasingly mortal Rupert Murdoch could ever imagine," Dumenco forecasts.

Berlin, Germany
An abandoned dinosaur amusement park outside of Berlin.
It's tough to know the intentions of theme park creators. Their strange creations leave us only making a few educated guesses. Walt Disney wanted to make Epcot a self-sustaining community and model for the world. Argus Wynne, the man who built Six Flags, wanted to see people throwing up. The people who made Spreepark in Berlin were probably just insane.
The Spreepark in southeastern Berlin has been abandoned for the last ten years, and it looks like it. Each part of the park is scattered with remnants from the previous three decades, making a hodgepodge of bizarre entertainment, children's rides, and life-size dinosaur statues.
Originally constructed by the communist government in East Germany in 1969, the park stood until the fall of the Berlin Wall twenty years later. It thrived throughout the communist era but fell on hard times when it was taken over by Norbert Witte in 1991.
During the time Witte controlled the park, he changed the scenery multiple times, even adding an English village and water landscape. Unbeknownst to police and Berliners, Witte had also become involved in cocaine smuggling in pieces of ride equipment between Peru and Germany during his time as park administrator.
Due partly to his criminal activities and due partly to lackluster visitor numbers, Spreepark was shut down to the public in 2002, and Witte was tried on smuggling charges two years later.
The result of this shutdown is the majestic wonderland Spreepark is today. Among the highlights of the park ruins are life-sized dinosaurs, including a fallen Tyrannosaurus as well as an old roller coaster leading out of a rabid-looking animal's mouth. The whole park was recently featured in the film "Hanna," and the main sites are prominent in the film's climax.
Update: A recently installed green fence makes it nearly impossible to get in. Dogs and night crews are now responsible to ensure the property's security as it is in the process of being demolished. The promenade around the park still is really nice and allows a sneak peak at the abandoned installations.
Update: Sadly Spreepark is no more. Everything has been either destroyed or removed.
Update: As of June 2017, many of the major attractions still stand, including the Ferris wheel, roller coaster, and log flume. Tours are offered on weekends through September by the city for 5 euros. Tickets can be purchased on Ticketscript by going through the Grün Berlin website.

George Washington is considered the Father of the United States and he became the nation's first President. In order for him to develop that level of respect that has resonated throughout the ages, he needed to have some specific leadership traits that could truly stand out. If you take these 7 lessons from George Washington, then you'll have some amazing leadership traits to emulate.
#1. Believe In Your Team
Above anything else, Washington chose to believe in the men that served with him. Believing in your team is a choice that is made, just like happiness is a choice that is made. If you choose to believe the people who serve with you can succeed, then quite often they will.
#2. Have Integrity
A leadership position brings with it a certain level of respect. People are more willing to listen to the advice that a leader provides than someone holding up a cardboard sign on the street! With that position, however, comes a need for integrity. If you have no personal ethics, then people will start asking the person on the street for advice over you.
#3. Respect Is Given First
Have you heard of this nonsense that "Respect must be earned before it can be given?" Respect is something that should flow freely from every leader! When people are treated with dignity, care, and with polite regard, they feel like they are a part of the team. In return, people tend to work harder and care more about the end result.
#4. There Is Absolute Accountability
A great leader like Washington takes responsibility for the failures that happen during his watch. These leaders won't take sole credit for the success a team has either. What they will do is hold their team to the letter of the law. Believing in someone is not good enough. Having enough concern that entering a disciplinary process to help someone succeed? That's real love from the leadership role.
#5. The Team Comes First
There are times when a leader needs a break or has to get away for awhile to recharge. From a team perspective, however, it is the people who come first before the leader. Washington would take a bullet for his men without a second thought. The modern leader can stick up for their team and work toward a great cause.
#6. There Is Investment
If a leader isn't invested into the outcome that an organization seeks, then there won't be any success unless it happens as a fluke. Washington was invested in the creation of a new nation. Are you invested into what your organization is trying to accomplish? If not, then why not? It isn't the organization that needs to change. It is your leadership skills and philosophy that needs to change.
#7. There Is No Compromise
Compromising on personal morality is a dangerous thing. You see, when just one compromise is made, you become a little less great. Every additional compromise allows you to justify negative actions in a positive way. What would have happened if Washington had compromised on his views of tyranny and justice? There's a chance the US wouldn't have ever been founded.
Keep the leadership lessons of George Washington in mind as you lead your team and you will have a great chance to succeed in whatever you choose to do.

Professors of the World, Unite?
Wisconsin tests whether profs will be thinkers or unionists.
If some professors at the University of Wisconsin at Madison get their way, the first thing a newly minted PhD will learn about is not research or teaching—but union dues. This summer Wisconsin's Democratic Governor Jim Doyle gave the school's professors the right to unionize. Not all want to, so this fall the faculty lounges are livelier than usual.
Organized labor has already wreaked havoc on the nation's K-12 public-school system, and it's often thought this could never happen to a higher education system that is the envy of the world. But over the past 10 years or so, unions have become an increasingly common presence at colleges and universities. More than 375,000 faculty and graduate students are members of a collective bargaining unit, according to the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions. That's about a third of the total, and a 24% increase in the past decade.
Thanks to unionization provisions Gov. Doyle put into Wisconsin's biennial budget, things are likely to get worse. There were three important elements in the initiative.
Research assistants at all Wisconsin campuses would be able use a "card check" process to form a union. When a majority of the RAs sign a form saying they'd like to form a union, it will be done without a secret ballot.
Next, the union could engage in something called "unit clarification." That means it can look through employment records to decide whether a staff member should be reclassified and placed in the union without his or her consent. The governor issued a partial veto of this provision, but the unions still claim they're legally entitled to do this. Finally, the governor made it possible for the entire faculty of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, to vote on unionization.
There is opposition on campus to the first two provisions, including by some who have no position on unionization. Donald Downs, a First Amendment scholar, is worried about pressure on research assistants if there is no secret ballot. The Public Representation Organization of the Faculty Senate, which favors giving university employees the right to join unions, wrote the governor to object to unit clarification. It said this would "force thousands of UW academic staff into existing state bargaining units without a vote."
But it's the last provision that has the greatest symbolic importance. Traditionally the most prestigious public university campuses have resisted unionization. (Private college faculty were barred from organizing after the Supreme Court's 1990 decision, NLRB v. Yeshiva University, which said that university faculty, with tenure and a shared role in university governance, looked more like management than labor.)
John Witte, an education scholar at the school, says he would quit if the faculty organize. He tells us it would be "demoralizing to see my hard work rewarded with the same pay as someone who doesn't do hard work." Unionization, he says, would be "devastating to the university." Others worry that the campus's pervasive atmosphere of political correctness will sway much of the faculty to vote for unionization.
In 2008, the American Federation of Teachers announced a joint campaign with the American Association of University Professors to unionize more public universities. "We don't have a number in mind," Sandra Schroeder, chairman of the AFT's higher education council, said, but it's "as many as we possibly can." If UW Madison goes, expect more former free-thinkers to go over to the union mind set.

We love paranormal romance and who hasn't fantasized about finding their own vampire soul mate! Well, thanks to V-Date, a website designed for Juliet Lyons, that fantasy can become reality... sort of!
In Juliet's upcoming book, Dating the Undead, there's a popular dating site, and none like us mere mortals are used to! It's called V-Date and it's the place where mortals and vamps alike who are struggling to find dates in the real world, can find love in a cyber setting! We got a chance to peruse the V-Date site and man, we're wishing some of these vamps were actually up for grabs!
Sadly, these aren't real profiles, but they're fun all the same!
What vampire would you want to get matched up with? Who is your vampire soul mate?
Tell us about it in the comments!
And for those of you who are ready to take a step further in this relationship, start reading Dating the Undead below with an exclusive excerpt of a selected scene!
Get a sneak peek at Juliet Lyons' Dating the Undead (available May 2, 2017) with an exclusive excerpt!
His green eyes latch on to mine, tension crackling between us like static, and for the first time since the night we met, I allow myself the luxury of a full-on stare. I trail a gaze over his body, svelte yet masculine, a sharp outline of muscle straining beneath his T-shirt. Not for the first time, I ache to be naked in his arms. I shiver, turning back to Ollie's singing in an attempt to break the spell. Suddenly, it feels as though it's just the two of us in the whole bar. Even the thumping music is muted by his presence, people around us paling into the shadows like ghosts.
When I turn around, Logan's heavy-lidded eyes are still fixed on my face. This time, I don't look away.

Beautiful Prague for Travel Back Saturday
I have so many great photos that never seem to see the light of day that I have decided to start a new weekly feature here at Budget Travel Sandbox. My first "Travel Back Saturday" features Prague, a city I came to love during the month I spent there a couple of years ago.
This first shot, showcasing Prague's show stopping historic architecture, was taken from popular Kampa Island. The island is easily accessible from Prague's historic Charles Bridge in Malá Strana(the Lesser Town). Did you know that in 2011 Kampa Island was voted the second most romantic island in the world?
In this photo, to the very left, is the entrance to the Charles Bridge.
Prague Kampa
Travel Photo Thursday — 09/18/14 — Night Time Prague
Welcome to week 194! My apologies for this post being late and somewhat brief. My ongoing Internet problems became a huge issue this week. I had to call in the telephone company not once but twice. The first technician put a cable in the wrong outlet, and made things worse. It took a second technician, more than 24 hours later, to fix the problem. Isn't it amazing how something that sounds so simple, a cable in the wrong outlet, can cause an entire system to go down! I've been going through some photo files this week, and have enjoyed perusing a number of night shots of Prague from the banks of the Vitava River. I usually don't do justice to night shots, but these shots I do like.

Travel Photo Thursday — 7/03/14 — Windows on Europe
Welcome to the 184th week of Travel Photo Thursday! I'm finishing my second week of summer school teaching, a 15 week course crammed into 3 weeks. Trust me, it's brutal. I'm teaching a required basic English course that is designed to be fail proof! I do have a few students who are wonderful (not sure how they ended up here), but most of them would not react to a fire lit directly under their butts! I had originally planned to be in Europe this summer, but this summer school session put a damper on those plans. As thrilled as I am to be heading off to Penang in just over a week, there remains some wistful thinking directed at Europe. I love photographing windows and doors, and this week I bring you a few of my favorite windows from Hungary's Budapest and Czech's Karlovary.

My favorites from Budapest. Windows always set my imagination on fire…
I love the carving at the top. He looks more than a little ferocious!
So peaceful looking… A far cry from her "brother' in the shot above:)
Mellow yellow in Budapest. Love how the light is striking the blind…
Colorful and detailed in Budapest. I am not a big lover of the color orange, but it definitely works with this window!
And to end this window on Europe, two of my favorite window shots from Czech's picturesque Karlovy Vary…
What a blast of color from the shutters, and the blast of fuchsia…
Do you photograph windows and doors when you travel?

Lennon and Love Locks on Prague's Kampa Island
I fell in love with Prague long before I arrived. My research quickly revealed that I probably would never tire of the history, the architecture, the neighborhoods, or the food and beer. I was intrigued by everything I read; from blog posts to guidebooks. I was eager to walk the cobblestone streets, gawk at the amazing architecture, climb a few towers, and stroll over the historic Charles Bridge, with its iconic views. I especially wanted to spend some time exploring Kampa Island, located directly off the Charles Bridge in historic Mala Strana (Lesser Quarter). In addition to discovering all that Kampa has to offer, I wanted to experience the true ambience of the island, so I decided to stay on the Island for a couple of days. Using the Venere hotel booking site I was able to quickly book a room that met all my needs at a reasonable price.
After getting settled into my room, I was off to view the colorful, graffiti laden John Lennon Wall, which attracts artists and tourists from all over the world. I spent quite a bit of time here simply reading the messages, watching visitors add their graffiti to the wall, and taking photographs.
The stream of people never stopped, and I was surprised at how young some of them were. At first I wondered if these young ones even understood the significance of the wall. When Lennon was murdered in 1980 the graffiti covered wall was started by Czech youth as a monument to free speech and non-violent rebellion against the regime. No amount of white washing could make the wall disappear. Many say that that the wall inspired the non-violent Velvet Revolution, which led to the fall of Communism in the Czech Republic in 1989.
I left the wall with the feeling that John would have approved of these young people carrying on his legacy of peace. That famous song hummed in my head for days.
Just steps from the wall is a bridge with it's rails covered with love locks. I'm sure Lennon would have approved!
They come in all shapes, sizes and colors. I'm sure each has its own unique story attached.
The perfect ending…
I totally enjoyed the two days I spent on Kampa Island, and it's on my "to return to list" one day. Have you been? What were your impressions?
Travel Photo Thursday — November 7, 2013 — My Travels During the Past 150 Posts
Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday, and a special week it is! This is our 150th Travel Photo Thursday…(drum roll please)!! Hard to believe that this little link-up started back in December, 2009 on the first anniversary of Budget Travelers Sandbox. My first post is here. The group has been pretty fluid, with people coming and going. We usually have between 20 and 30 photographers linking every week. Just as important, most of us comment and share each others weekly posts. Lovely friendships have formed. Two of our linkers have been with us from the very beginning. I could tell who they are, but let's have some fun. Leave your guess in the comments, and try not to peek!
A big THANK YOU to contributors, present and past, to our weekly virtual photo journey. Without all of YOU this weekly meet-up would never have become such a great success. VIRTUAL HUGS TO ONE AND ALL!!
I've covered more than a few miles since our first Travel Photo Thursday. My camera has clicked in Canada, the U.S.A., Thailand, Singapore, Bali, Japan, China, Taiwan, Czech, Spain, Hungary since 2009. Of course, how can I forget my home way from home…KOREA.

Through the Sandbox Lens #54 — An Enchanting Prague Canal
I was going through photos this week and came across this gorgeous shot taken at Prague's Kampa Island, easily accessible from the Charles Bridge. I spent quite a bit of time on Kampa Island, visiting the museums, the John Lennon Wall, and eating in the restaurants. I would love to go back. Have you visited Kampa Island? What did you think?

Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by specialtylc, Mar 1, 2004.
I and I think many of us would like to know what size companies we are talking to on Lawnsite.
Ones too few, Twos a business, Three is a crowd, at least when you have less than 40 accounts.
I have no employees, but i have a team leader and a team member.
Year round three incuding myself, and usually a fourth in the spring for a couple weeks.
Had four employees last year, five including me. Plan on adding at least one more this year. Next year who knows!
I only have one employee but I think they are a necessary evil. You read all kinds of threads and posts about PITA customers but what about PITA employees. Don't get me wrong, my one employee is a nice enough guy, we get along, good worker and good with my clients but he can also be a baby, b**ch and a sissy.
I'm a solo opp, but have part time help in the fall
too few when we're doing the work, too many on payday.
i had 6 last year..........this year 2..............Too much of a pain in my A$$.
Not sure if it is worth it, I had more complaints last year than ever. Finding good help is not easy, yeah there are some good workers, but I couldn't find any. I got 2 great worker, which they do around 70-80 yards a week.
I'm solo, so I do around 40-50 a week, I do customers that complain the most, because for some reason they only want me doing thier yard. They also pay more, duh, anyway.........you gotta love this business
good luck to everbody, hope ya'll have a great year
we had the same problem until we took my brother out of the field and had him supervising the crews. back when we were having problems, we had a good foreman, but when the cat's away....

Minster FM News
£4,000 Available for Community Groups in Stokesley
6:01am 5th June 2013
A community group that has supported a wide range of community projects over the last eight years is on the look out for new schemes to back!
In the last 12 months the Stokesley and Villages Community Regeneration Group has supported a number of projects - including the Great Ayton Boxing Club, the River Leven Jubilee Bridge and the work being undertaken by the Stokesley Cycleways Group. Around £4000 has been awarded to them by the area's community partnership - and £3000 is available through the District Council's 'Investing in Communities' Fund.
The group celebrates its eighth year next month – and wants to see as many local people as possible come along to the Annual General Meeting on June 5.
The meeting will include a presentation by John Moore, Chief Executive of Superfast North Yorkshire, on the rollout of superfast broadband across Stokesley and the surrounding villages. Under the terms of the contract awarded to BT in 2012, 90% of the population of North Yorkshire will have access to broadband speeds in excess of 25Mpbs by the end of 2014.
The AGM will give a picture of the progress made to date, details of the areas scheduled for upgrades and what can be done to help those communities that may not receive any significant improvements as a result of the initiative.
Cllr Bridget Fortune, Chair of the Group, said: "Over the last 12 months the Group has awarded a total of £4000 to a number of community projects across Stokesley and the surrounding villages. The AGM is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the efforts of the volunteers without whose help these projects would not have got off the ground – and to tell us what initiatives are on the horizon that we should be getting involved with."
The AGM takes place at 7.30pm at the Stokesley & District Community Care Association base in Town Close, Stokesley.
For further information contact Peter Cole, Business & Communities Officer on 01609 767212 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Stokesley & Villages Community Regeneration Group is one of five well- established community partnerships across Hambleton which seeks to identify and respond to local needs and aspirations in order to improve economic, social and environmental well-being.

Help with Lightroom 4....Please
Dr Hal wrote:
When I bought Lightroom 4, I bought Scott Kelby's book for my Kindle and it has helped me very much and I really like using Lightroom. I am having one HUGE problem that I am ashamed to admit but I cannot find the answer. I import my files into Lightroom and store them in files on a hard disc just as Scott Kelby said and I can find the files with no problem. The problem is: I cannot get the files back into Lightroom again to use them if I want to go back and work on a file that has been previously imported back into my Lightroom program to adjust. I just get a message that the file has been previously imported into Lightroom. How do I get a file that I have previously imported back into my Lightroom so that I can make further adjustments on it? I know that it is something simple but I just cannot find it and I have spent hours looking through Kelby's book.
Thank you for your help.
I'm going to come at this from another angle. When I read as written above, "The problem is...." it seems to me your'e trying to work on an image file you've already worked on and either make more adjustments to it or start making new adjustments from scratch, but without changing the one you've already worked on. If that's the case (and I may be wrong here) then right click on the image you want to work on, and down the list is Create Virtual Copy. A copy will be made and a little page turn symbol will appear in the lower left of the image to show it's a copy. Click on the Develop module and either make further adjustment or click Reset and clear all the adjustments you've made and start from scratch. In order for it to be a real and virtual file, you would have to export it in the file type of your choice.
I'm not sure if this is what you were asking.

What is the United Kingdom's national sport? Many people would commit the mistake by screaming 'football' and with utter vigor no less! The correct answer would be cricket. Care to know more about it? If you do then read on.
Cricket as a sport has nothing to do with the insect but rather its etymology comes from the Old English term 'cricc' or 'cryce' which translates to a crutch or staff. Certain accounts suggest that it has since been present since the 16th century where it was first a game played amongst children. Eventually it became an inter-village and inter-parish activity among adults as well. It was not until the 18th century when the game underwent some serious development and various rules and regulations have been set some of which we can still observe up until today.
It is defined to be an outdoor sport played chiefly in England and Commonwealth countries by two teams of 11 players using a flat bat, a small hard ball, and wickets. To score, a player bats the ball and runs, while the defenders can get a player out by bowling and hitting the wicket, catching a hit ball, or running the player out. It is one of the most popular team sports and is played in over 120 countries all over the world with only football and basketball exceeding it in popularity.
The ball here is pretty much the same size of a baseball and cannot be larger than 9 inches in circumference with a weight of between 156 and 163 grams. It is made up of alternating layers of cork and wool and is then covered by either red or white leather. The bat on the other hand is flat and elongated, often made of willow, which is fitted with a cane handle that comes with a rubber grip. It measures 38 inches long and 4.5 inches wide. Cricket is played in grassy, large circular areas between 114 and 160 meters in diameter.
The sport is governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It represents the national bodies from over 70 countries. The council visits member countries maintains the code of conduct, qualifies umpires, promotes the game worldwide, and organizes the World Cricket Cup which is to be held every four years starting in 1975. The IWCC or International Women's Cricket Council is a similar governing body and since 1973 has been hosting world championships every four years.

MoneyTalks1: HI Frank, IYO……After the IMF coordinates all the currencies to the revalue at a certain time-and release them to the public- at the same time(within 6 hrs, as you said), what lag time will there be among all the revalued countries to be able to go to the bank or currency exchange companies and exchange your currency? eg. right away. a few days, one week. I would assume, each country central bank will have to approve the rate and give the information and instructions to all the banks and exchange companies within that country.
Cleitus: (IMO) When the dinar goes international it will start with the CBI announcing it on their site. The Europeans will have an advantage IF the rate is announced while we are counting our sheep. Now..., all of this may be without merit if there is something we are overlooking. But if the rate is international it will come from the East to the West and then it makes no difference. The Europeans will get first crack at it. This is merely food for thought, BUT, for serious consideration for something else to occur!!
RickLibby:(IMO) if the rate goes up at any time it is automatically the same world wide. the imf and currency exchange sites will have it immediately. now if another currency you like is not in that basket, well when you get you transfer of capitol you can gain on it. if the imf and powers that be are negligent enough to allow such. but as IMO, watch out for the others, you may think are going to rise. because many are planning to decrease to keep profits on their side. rick

Iran, China agree $600-billion trade deal after sanctions
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani (R) meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Tehran, Iran January 23, 2016.
Iran and China agreed to expand bilateral ties and increase trade to $600 billion in the next 10 years, President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday during a visit to Tehran by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Xi is the second leader of a U.N. Security Council member to visit Tehran after the nuclear deal Iran struck with world powers last year. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Tehran in November.
Iran emerged from years of economic isolation this month when the United Nations' nuclear watchdog ruled it had curbed its nuclear program, clearing the way for the lifting of U.N., U.S., and European Union sanctions.
"Iran and China have agreed to increase trade to $600 billion in the next 10 years," Rouhani said at a news conference with Xi broadcast live on state television.
"Iran and China have agreed on forming strategic relations (as) reflected in a 25-year comprehensive document," he said.
Iran and China signed 17 accords on Saturday, including on cooperation in nuclear energy and a revival of the ancient Silk Road trade route, known in China as One Belt, One Road.
"China is still heavily dependent on Iran for its energy imports and Russia needs Iran in terms of its new security architecture vision for the Middle East," said Ellie Geranmayeh, policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
"Iran plays quite an integral role for both China and Russia's interests within the region, much more than it does for the Europeans," Geranmayeh said.
Xi was quoted as saying by China's Xinhua news agency: "The China-Iran friendship ... has stood the test of the vicissitudes of the international landscape."
The Chinese state-backed Global Times newspaper said in an editorial on Saturday that China hoped to improve ties with Iran as part of its sweeping plan to rebuild trade links with Europe and Asia and carve out new markets for its goods.
"China is of course considering its self interest in strengthening cooperation with Iran, especially at a time when China is in the midst of expending efforts to push forward the One Belt, One Road initiative, Iran is an important fulcrum," the paper said.
Rouhani said the countries had also agreed to cooperate on "terrorism and extremism in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen".
China signaled its support for Yemen's government, which is fighting an Iran-allied militia, during Xi's visit to Saudi Arabia, Iran's rival for influence in the region, this week.
Iran has called on China to join the fight against the Islamic State militant group and play a more active role in the region.
Tehran is widely credited with convincing Russia to start its military intervention in Syria and join the fight against Islamic State.
"Although China and Russia backed U.N. sanctions against Iran on its nuclear program, they were also heavily pushing for special waivers to continue trading with Iran," Geranmayeh said.
"Iran had a relationship both politically and economically with China and Russia for the last ten years in ways that it hasn't had with Europe. So it's quite natural to see it opening up first to these countries."
The Chinese president was to meet Iran's most powerful figure, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, later in the day.

Walkingstick: Top China Bank Seeking Iran Branch
EconomyBusiness And Markets
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd., a Chinese multinational banking company, plans to establish branches in Iran, an official with Central Bank of Iran (CBI) said.
The bank, which is said to be the largest in the world in terms of total assets and market capitalization, has requested to open branches in Iran's Kish Trade Zone and in the mainland, IRIB news agency quoted Hussein Yaqoubi, CBI deputy for international affairs, as saying on Thursday.
Noting that international banks have expressed interest in business in Iran following the removal of sanctions, he said several banks from Lebanon, as well as from European countries, namely Austria and Italy, have sent requests to Tehran to open branches.
Yaqoubi opine that the CBI encourages the idea of setting up branches of foreign banks in Iran.
Foreign banks in Iran can start business in the FTZs with 100% ownership, partner with Iranians or purchase shares in local banks. But according to current laws investors can hold only up to 40% of shares in mainland banks.
The CBI earlier announced that the SWIFT (the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) restriction on local banks has been lifted.
Since March 2012, as part of measures to intensify the sanctions on Tehran due to its nuclear program, Iran's banking system had been deprived of access to SWIFT.
Meanwhile, CBI Governor Valiollah Seif said that despite the removal of international sanctions, some Iranian banks are still on the red list.
In a joint statement on Jan. 16, the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif announced the implementation of Iran's nuclear deal with the P5+1, and the removal of economic sanctions.
The statement said the EU confirms that the legal framework, providing for lifting of its nuclear-related economic and financial sanctions, had come into effect ending all US, UN, EU sanctions related to the nuclear dispute.

Agency profile: Fetch testifies for mobile?s evolution from campaign afterthought to centerpiece
London-based agency Fetch has been spreading out across the globe with offices now in San Francisco, Berlin and a site in Hong Kong on the way.
Since its launch in 2009 it has exclusively worked on mobile marketing and advertising, with a client base of companies that tend to already be steeped in mobile themselves, according to Guillaume Lelait, San Francisco-based vice president of North America at Fetch. Coming on board in year two, he has recently been seeing mobile come to forefront of many campaigns.
?In the past we were sometimes receiving the brief when the campaign was supposed to start in the next couple of days,? Mr. Lelait said, noting they frequently work in collaboration with other agencies. ?Mobile was just the afterthought.?
?We are getting more involved strategically,? he said. ?Sometimes we are the lead agency with companies that are really taking mobile seriously and putting mobile in the center of all concepts.?
The independent agency currently employs 70 people with 45 in London, 20 in San Francisco and five in Berlin. It works across industries, but the company?s sweet spot are marketers who are already advanced in mobile; Fetch does not do a lot of mobile education for clients.
Hotels.com, eBay, Supercell, William Hill and BloomFM are among its notable client roster, along with even bigger players it cannot name. Founded by Declan Reddington and James Connelly, the agency wants to focus on developing campaigns that stretch mobile?s capabilities.
Novel creative
For eBay, Fetch created an app that enabled the audience to interact with a pantomime performance of the Cinderella story at London?s Charing Cross Theater. Everyone was equipped with an app installed on a tablet that allowed them to pick presents for each of the characters.
After the show, audience members received an email from eBay with links to the gifts they selected. There was also a youth cancer philanthropy component.
Fetch has also been finding ways to enhance outdoor opportunity for mobile. In another campaign for eBay, it created NFC-enabled table wraps for cafes and bars in London through which consumers could access different eBay pages.
Then for client Hotels.com, it built a Running with the Bulls game. The brand awareness effort complemented a Hotels.com Bull Run promotional video for the annual event in Spain.
Many clients, particularly retailers like eBay, are becoming very performance driven, noted Mr. Lelait. Thus the agency has introduced FetchMe, a service to quantify and analyze campaign data in real-time.
FetchMe provides clients a dashboard to see results that help optimize the campaign on an ongoing basis. ?There are lots of decisions made by an account manager during the day,? said Mr. Lelait.
Video is also rising in importance for mobile, with video-enhanced Twitter Cards now big tool on Fetch?s radar. ?There is really a need to have a good video to demonstrate their mobile product, and we?ve been pretty busy doing different things,? Mr. Lelait said.
Trending now
Last year was about getting millions of app installs for clients, said Mr. Lelait, who is witnessing a major shift. ?It is less about acquisition and more about, `how can I reengage users.??
?We are retargeting ? using the unit device identifier ? and coming up with a different message about a topic we know is of interest to them,? Mr. Lelait said. For Hotels.com, if someone was looking into Las Vegas, they would be presented other related travel information or offers.
?I think retargeting on mobile is going to be really hot this year,? said Mr. Lelait. ?It is already huge online. There are retargeted ads everywhere.?
When doing this however, it is important to think about frequency caps, he cautioned. ?You don?t want to feel like there is always someone behind you and retargeting you.?
One of the primary challenges is around transparency of advertising placements. ?The way the industry buys advertising from ad networks on mobile is blind. You never really know where your ads are showing,? said Mr. Lelait.
?We are at a moment where brands want transparency because they want their money?s worth. We need a technological solution.?
The ads could be showing against something that is negative to the advertiser, he pointed out. ?It is still kind of the Wild West.?

Since the season opener of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, we have anticipated the passing of Josh Flagg's beloved grandmother, Edith. Pass the hanky…that episode has finally come. No more chats in her deluxe apartment in the sky. No more lunches at La Dolce Vita. No more pearls of wisdom to pass along. This woman who endeared herself to us and showed us the softer side of Josh, may be gone from this life, but she is certainly not forgotten. Edith is in our hearts forever.
But before we turn on the waterworks, we must first endure another installment of 'Will the Brits pull off another impossible deal?' and 'The Days of Our Un-Engaged Lives' with Josh Altman and Heather. James Harris and David Parnes have ramped up the yip yap factor this week to an eleven (Spinal Tap, anyone?) and Josh seems to be back to his old self swimming with fellow shark, Daymond John, founder and CEO of FUBU, and investor on the reality television series Shark Tank.

(Castlecomer Discovery Park is a Social Community Enterprise operating on a Not for Profit basis.)
1999 SPOT THE DIFFERENCE……. …..through the hard work of volunteers, the dedication of a voluntary board of directors, and the dedication and commitment of everyone who works at Castlecomer Discovery Park, we have come a long way in a short space of time, for you to enjoy.
Our Story
Set in the former grounds of the Wandesforde Estate, Castlecomer Discovery Park comprises 80 acres of stunning natural woodland and lakes and began as a community project to rejuvenate the town of Castlecomer following the closure of the coal mines in 1969.
This relatively 'young' park opened to the public in 2007 with the launch of the Coal Mining Exhibition, Visitor Centre and Design Craft studios which are located in the former stable yard. The Park continues to evolve and is actively developing a range of exciting recreational, cultural and educational activities for visitors of all ages.
Key attractions include a Tree Top Adventure Walk and a Climbing Wall. Added in 2014 were Pedal boats and Canadian Canoes on our upper lake. 2015 saw the addition of the Woodland Play Area (Junior Woodland Adventure Course, hand-crafted Bluebell Playhouse and Elf & Fairy Village). 2016 saw the launch of the longest over-water zipline in Ireland at 300m long and 35m at its highest point. Complementing the zipline is a new Advanced High Ropes Course.2017 we launched the Canopy Cafe to the elf and fairy village and also introduced an archery.
The Park has grown from strength to strength since it first opened, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Over 117,000 visited in 2015. In 2015, Castlecomer Discovery Park won the Kilkenny Chamber of Commerce Business Award for Culture/Heritage Tourism. We are also listed as 'One of the Three Best Family Attractions in Leinster' 2012, 2013, and is also among the top 5 attractions listed in Kilkenny on Trip Advisor.
The park is a social/community enterprise and acts on a Non-Profit basis. It was set up to promote rural tourism, and what has been achieved by the community and voluntary efforts is astonishing and any financial surpluses generated are reinvested into the Park because after all, we are 'Yours to enjoy'.
Entry to the Park is free, with a nominal 'All Day' parking fee of €4 (1st hour free). To learn more about Castlecomer Discovery Park, and what the town has to offer to see where it all started:
