Hi all, we bought the above bike for my son for his 19th birthday in october since then it has been back to the dealer 8 times for a variety of faults including cutting out, not starting , back wheel seizing twice whilst riding and a loose back wheel (came back loose after being fixed). the bike had 236km on the clock from new. The bike is in being fixed at the moment and my son has lost all confidence in the bike. Can any one offer any advice from a legal stand point regarding asking for our money back? Or trading it back to the dealer for a different bike? any help would be much appreciated.

Carsalesman job???
Carsalesman job???
If someone could help me out with this question it would be great...
ok: I'm a 22yrd old college student (senior) and I'm looking for a carsalesman opportunity. What are my chances of getting a job as a carsalesman without any experience...I know a lot about cars(A LOT) and I'm very professional.....What is the pay like(on ave)...I'm great at selling things and I LOVE CARS...I own a 2000MRoadster myself.
Lastly, is it possible to get a job at a high-end car dealer without any experience....(used or new?)
I've heard good things and bad things about carsaleman so I'm interested in what you guys think!
Thanks guys!!!! :sunglasse
Anyone know of my chances selling high-end used or new vehicles with not much car selling experience....I'm a college undergrad senior looking to try to make a living this summer....
any opinions are welcome and thanks!!!
Anything is possible. If you have sales experience it is a plus. Some companies may feel a bit uncomfortable with a salesman in his early 20s. But I personally know a few friends who have done this with no problems. Each place may pay differently. Some pay a flat rate per week, some pay based on commission. Some pay a lower flat rate, and then extra based on commission. It all depends on the place. I say apply to a bunch of places and find out. What is the worst they will say...no. So why not give it a try. If you know your cars and have good sales experience it will show. Best of luck.
Thanks a lot!!!!
I was just wonderin if it is possible....I don't know how the whole system works....nice to get some pro-advice!!
I think I could be of some serious help to you. First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I went to college and was an English major. I have planned on teaching for quite awhile, but I wanted to do something kind of "fun" for maybe a year or two, and then go back and get my Master's degree. (I am finishing up the first semester of my master's program right now.)
It sounds like you are thinking alot like I did a couple of years ago. I don't mean to brag, but I've got ALOT of info upstairs when it comes to cars. All cars- domestic, foreign, old, new- whatever. It was only natural that when I went to seek my semi temporary "fun" job, I started looking into car sales.
Now I don't mean to discourage you, but I'm just going to tell it like it is. Unless you get really lucky, you will have a hard time starting out at a dealer that you'll actually want to stay at. I started at a Chevrolet dealer, mainly just because they were willing to give new salespeople a chance. Well... it didn't take long to figure out that there was a reason the dealer had a huge turnover rate among salespeople. I was "hired," but then was told I would have to pay for my own training, which I would then be reimbursed for if I stayed over 90 days. I was a heck of a salesperson, but the general atmosphere was absolute hell. My salesmanagers would flat out lie to customers, and when the customer managed to wise up and the deal went sour, it was my ass that got chewed. It was a really high pressure buying environment. Furthermore, they would rob the Hell out of the whole sales force.
To understand what I'm talking about, you have to understand car deals. There is a "front end," or profit over incvoice that you are paid on, and there is a "back end" that the finance managers make thier money off of. If the customer was to get in the bussiness office and start bucking on payments (which they do 90% of the time), guess which end they end up taking the profit out of first? It doesn't take anytime before you wise up to an outfit like that and leave. I stayed for 90 days, got my training money back, and promptly got the hell out of there.
And on to dealer number two: A Ford/ Volkswagen dealer. Actually was a pretty good place to work. If I hadn't started out at the shitty dealer, though, I doubt they would have hired me. You could make good money when floor traffic was good. In our location, though, we had alot of the same old tire kickers wandering around the lot day in and day out, asking annoying question ("when's that thar 05 GT mustang comin out") and recoiling at the suggestion that he or she should consider buying something. Overall, you can kind of run into a feast or famine deal from month to month. Especially starting out, when you are trying to buld up a clientel. I don't care what B.S. stories the rednecks and paranoid idiots make up about carsalesman- they are NOT getting rich off of anyone. You'll work your ass off (60-70 hrs. wk.) your first year at a good dealer and MIGHT manage to pull in 25K. I knew some damn good salespeople who had been at it for years, and struggled to pull in over 37K a year selling Fords or Chevrolets. And that's with a fantastic customer base and years of experience.
All the above brings me to another point. The most frustrating part of being a car salesman is that 95% if people DON'T CARE about the technicals of automobiles. The minute I even mentioned something about the mechanicals of the car, I could see the customers start to glaze over. Especially the Ford people buying SUVS and Taurus's. F150 people are about as bad anymore. They want to know if the truck has a 302 or 350 in it, and get a retarded look on their face when you try to explain that the modular motors really have nothing to do with the older engines. Long story short, unless you get on at a high end dealer, the customer normally could care less about the car. They just want to know what kind of rebate is out and whether they can get 0% APR. Then you spend about 2 hours with them on the lot, only to take them into the finance office and find out that theyv'e been filling you full of shit. Low and behold, you pull their credit, and discover they haven't payed a bill in 6 months and would be lucky to get a buy rate of 28%. And just wait till you get to tell them they are upside down on their trade in!
WHEWWW! Sorry about all that. Alot of bad memories. That being said, I appreciate the experience, but there is no way in Hell I would make a career out of it. I had some good customers. VW people were usually pretty knowledgable and had a genuine interest in learning more about the car itself. Mustang Mach 1 and Cobra buyers were normally true enthusiasts too. The funniest thing is when a fool would saunter over from the Explorers or Expeditions ("I want one with a DVD player! Tee hee!") and ask if they had and huge rebates on "Turags." They would promptly retreat back to the Ford side of the lot when they discovered that VW just doesn't work that way. They were always too dumb to realize that rebates absolutely kill trade in values, even though they INSIST on trading every two years. (Actually they at least TRY to trade every two years until they are so far upside it's not even funny. That's when you start running into 80 and 90 month car loans.)
Anyway, I'll shut up now. I just don't want to see another college grad get caught up in the same mess I did. You can do better, and make more money in a short amount of time in other jobs. You MIGHT get lucky and get on at a Toyota or Honda dealer, but then again, those companies are slowly but surely falling into the same sales philosophy that the domestics folllow. An Acura, Infinfity, BMW, or Benz dealer could be nice, but there again, they are hard to get into without experience. Of course, it never hurts to try. And one other thing- once you're in the bussiness... I don't know. It's kind of hard to get out. Especially if you sell well. My dealer was kind of pissed when I left, and I even thought pretty hard about staying. Now that I'm out, though, I'm glad. My final suggestion: If you just feel like you have to try it, go ahead. But if you just want to use sales as a good way to make money before you further your education, find something else. I'm getting in to bar tending at night to help pay for school, and there is some damn good money in it. Just think it all through carefully.
I'm going to agree and disagree a bit with the above post.
Obviously, I am not going to disagree with your experience...but that was at 2 dealerships. Not every dealership is the same. In general, there is plenty to dislike, but that can be said about any sales job, when your profit is based on your ability to extract money from a customer (commission).
I think alot of what you have said can be said for most any sales job. I have had many sales jobs over the last few years, in various fields, in both the sales rep and managerial fields. It can cut both ways, I've gotten screwed by customers, managers, and sales reps. I've dealt with stupid customers, managers, and sales reps. There are always those customers who have no interest in making a purchasing decision, there are always those who lie about their credit, etc, etc.
I can understand your frustration, as it seems you were unlucky to work at 2 less than ideal dealerships, compounded by the fact that there will always be ups and downs in any sales job. Beginning a sales job, you will almost always need to put in alot of extra hours that you wont be paid for...but in most/some it gets better.
I've gone a week without making a dime, I've had a half hour period where I made 1,600 (which was damn good for being a freshman in college at the time). Like I said, I can understand your situations, and your frustrations, etc, but all I can say is sales isn't for everyone, but it is something that I see myself doing for quite a long time. I enjoy it, not every minute of it, but in general, and would suggest that you don't let your bad experiences lead you to suggest (to people you don't even know) that they avoid it and pursue other options.
I understand your desire to tell it, like it really is. That will definantly help in his decision making, but I would venture to say, that just because it wasn't for you, doesn't mean it wont be right for him...
I don't mean to come across as being a dick or anything, just trying to present both sides of the story as accurately as possible.
PS. I hope you enjoy bartending. I did it on the weekends for 2 years and loved almost every minute of it (except the cheap college students who don't tip :disappoin ).
Fair enough Igovert.
I've really just now gotten the chance to look back at my post, and it probably came across a bit more negatively than I intended. I guess sometimes when you recount experiences like that the negative things tend to come back to mind first, and you end up painting a more dismal than real picture.
Still though, I feel like 90% of what I mentioned needed to be said, but as you wrote, it should all be weighed accordingly. Despite the downs, I am glad I got the experience I did, and I hope you end up making the decision that suits you best, MRoadster.
It really wasn't my intention to try and talk you completely out of your job choice. My main reasoning, regardless of how vauge it seems in my last post, is just that if you are looking for a job for the summer, car sales may not be the best route to go, mainly because an established clientel is what really leads to a solid income in that area. Of course, it could be tough to build up much of a customer base in a 3 month span. If you plan to stick with it, though, just research well and find yourself a good dealership. With hard work and dedication, you might just move mountains.
And BTW, bartending is working out well so far. Luckily, I've run into pretty generous tippers for the most part. :grinyes: Life is getting rough now that finals are coming up, though. :bricks1:
I wouldn't start selling cars if you are almost done with college. You can do better elsewhere. I would think that it takes a little time to get really good at selling.
BTW I tried to get a job at a honda dealer here at 19. I love hondas and am on my second accord. They offered the job to a 30 yr old loser I know that knows nothing about cars. Good Luck.

Is it true that your legs were insured for a million dollars? And are your toes included in the package?
Yes, Venus Breeze (female shaving brand) insured my legs for a million dollars. They named me this year's 'Celebrity Legs Of A Goddess' and they insured my legs for that ridiculous amount. But my toes? Ha ha! I'm not too familiar with the specifics of the deal.
Your album's called Good Girl Gone Bad. What's your biggest vice? Biting your own toenails? Hoax-calling the emergency services?
I like playing pranks on people. I do that a lot. Every day is a new one. Actually, every hour. It's almost second nature – I play pranks on people, trick them, tell lies… and push them in the waterfall. It's a way of adding fun to my job and my life.
So what do you do when you're not working? Most 19-year-olds near our office just seem to lurk around throwing McFlurries at passers-by.
I like simple things like driving around, doing nothing, listening to music. I love going to movies and like bowling, too. I've never been on vacation, but I'm actually going to Cancun in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it.
If we were to take you out on the lash in London, what can we buy you when it's our round? (Although, by rights, you should be paying for all of them)
I like a margarita with salt. Yeah, I like cocktails — coming from Barbados it's all about cocktails. But that's only in Europe. Ha ha!
What kind of man do you think would be good for you? Presumably not 'vaguely menacing hip-hop knuckleheads dressed like giant toddlers'.
I like guys who have a sense of humour and great personality. Guys who are ambitious. Someone I can just have fun with, and be comfortable around. Just be silly at times, but also have a great time.
Do men find you intimidating?
I would hate to believe that; that's not always the best thing.
So, is it all marketing balls, or are you really a bad girl now?
Let's say I want to do things my way. I can be stubborn.

"Veronica Mars has heat right now, you know?"
That's what Ryan Hansen tells Kristen Bell in the new digital series Play It Again, Dick — and he has a point.
It's hard to imagine that little over a year ago, the idea of more Veronica Marswas nothing more than a pipe dream for creator Rob Thomas. For six years after the show's cancellation, Thomas struggled to get the long-awaited movie made and only got the go-ahead from Warner Bros. if he could raise his own funds. But after the film proved profitable — if only by a small margin — not only is Thomas working on a second new Veronica Mars novel, but now executives are coming to him with projects, including The CW Seed seriesPlay It Again, Dick.
No matter how you feel about HBO's The Newsroom, I think we can all agree that the drama's Season 3 teaser—which features a copy machine spitting out script pages—is rather pretentious.

Sleep-wake Cycle DisordersA sleep-wake cycle disorder, also known as a Circadian rhythm disorder, is when the internal body clock is out of sync with natural light and dark cycles. Twenty to 40 percent of stroke survivors are reported to experience SWD. Causes of sleep-wake cycle disorders in stroke survivors include environmental factors (e.g., staying in the hospital), side effects of a medication or the stroke itself.
The most glaring symptom of a sleep-wake cycle disorder is feeling anxious at night and unusually drowsy and tired during the day. Further indications of sleep-wake cycle disorders are if a stroke survivor frequently wakes up during the night or needs more sleep in general, a condition called hypersomnia. Insomnia describes trouble falling or staying asleep, and is another symptom of SWD.
Back to Top | Symptoms | Treatment | Management | Resources
If the cause of sleep-wake patterns is due to staying in the hospital or a side effect from medication, then the symptoms will go away on their own when a stroke survivor checks out of the hospital or stops taking the medication. Even when the cause of SWD is a residual effect of the stroke, in time the internal body clock can adjust to a more conventional sleep schedule. However, getting enough sleep is an important part of post-stroke recovery, and there are treatments to speed up recovery from SWD.
One method is called bright light therapy. The idea is that exposing a stroke survivor to a concentrated bright light that is three to five times more powerful than a typical indoor light source will correct the sleep-wake cycle. A head-mounted light visor is common in bright light therapy. The treatment is typically administered in the morning and may last about 30 minutes.
Another common treatment is melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that can be prescribed to be taken at night. It acts like a sedative and can help induce sleep at night, and in time help correct the sleep-wake cycle.
Back to Top | Symptoms | Treatment | Management | Resources
ManagementSleep-wake cycle disorders are not usually permanent and a combination of time and treatment will correct SWD in most cases.

>> "but according to Microsoft, sales of Win8 are outpacing sales of Win7 when looking at a similar time table."
REDMOND, Wash., March 26, 2007 — "Windows Vista license sales after one month of availability have already exceeded the total of Windows XP license sales in the earlier product's first two months" -- Microsoft
I think the reality is that Microsoft sells licenses in larger bulks to the major vendors nowadays, for PCs that won't be built for many months, then includes those OEM numbers in their first month sales. Hence, we can't make anything out of the statistics.
What part of "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" don't you understand?
I wonder if they're including all those people that bought the W8 upgrade using the $15 glitch.
I don't know a single person who wants to upgrade to Windows 8, but I've been fairly content with it. There are still things I don't like about the Start screen at -all- (such as the lack of overall flexibility), but it's not as bad as I thought was from the get-go. I'm just waiting on a fresh SSD, then I'll be reformatting and going with another Start menu solution.
A sale is still a sale, MS got money for it so it is still a sale.
People well get over this negativity *** and a few months down the track they will end up installing it and then go wow this is pretty good...
Just to add everyone that i have shown loves windows 8, my nieces and nephews forget their iphone/ipad when they see the surface.
As posted by RiCoFrost:
"This has been a paid political announcement!" (probably its really the CEO of Microsoft, who is in trouble for being so dumb as to remove the start button)
Is that licenses included to manufacturers of computers?
Which means it would still include computer on shelves and in storage and not necessarily in use by users?
If it's not the case I wonder what percentage of those are direct purchases and which were free or discounted upgrade sales?
For the more tech Savvy, Stardock and a couple of other third party software vendors created a couple application that tweak Windows 8 to have everything people knew and loved from Windows 7 while overcoming some of the things people don't like about W8.
It's not an option for me at the moment but even though I don't like the look of W8, if it was at a reasonable price I'd be willing to give it a try since I know I could potentially tweak it back to how I like it with Stardock and other software and it would have the advantage of being Windows OS of focus, and because of that potentially being more secure and have faster updates.
Of course a lot of that is "potential" and "theoretical" since I don't know if W8 as a new OS could have more vulnerabilities or end up equal to or by the wayside compared to W7 but only time can tell
I'd very much like to see HH perform a full-scale technical comparison of Win8 and Win7, running benchmarks and selected games on the same test rig. How about it, Marco, Dave ?...

Tuesday News: Authors United insult just about everyone, Robin Thicke's deposition...
Letter to Amazon.com, Inc. board of directors – It was difficult to pick out the most offensive passage in this Authors United letter to the Amazon board of directors. From the Eurocentric insult to China and Chinese authors, to the misperception that books are not commercial products (does this mean commercial fiction is a nonexistent category?), to the confusion of publishing as a for-profit commercial industry with the creative work that goes into the commercial production of a book, there's a lot of frustrating pretension here. I can't imagine Amazon will need to do much by way of response, since AU undermines most of its strongest potential arguments without any outside assistance.
Amazon has every right to refuse to sell consumer goods in response to a pricing disagreement with a wholesaler. We all appreciate discounted razor blades and cheaper shoes. But books are not consumer goods. Books cannot be written more cheaply, nor can authors be outsourced to China. Books are not toasters or televisions. Each book is the unique, quirky creation of a lonely, intense, and often expensive struggle on the part of a single individual, a person whose living depends on his or her book finding readers. This is the process Amazon is obstructing.
. . . traditional publishing houses perform a vital role in our society. Publishers provide venture capital for ideas. They advance money to authors, giving them the time and freedom to write their books. This system is especially important for nonfiction writers, who often must travel for research. Thousands of times every year, publishers take a chance on unknown authors and advance them money solely on the basis of an idea. By assuming the risk, publishers expect—and receive—a financial return. What will Amazon replace this process with? How, in the Amazon model, will a young author get funding to pursue a promising idea? And what about the role of editors, copy editors, and other publishing staff who ensure that what ultimately ends up on the shelf is both worthy and accurate? –Authors United
Robin Thicke Admits Drug Abuse, Lying to Media in Wild "Blurred Lines" Deposition (Exclusive) – So there's this concept in the law called "declaratory judgment," and it's basically a lawsuit someone files in order to head off potential legal action again them. So Robin Thick and Pharrell Williams, and Clifford "T.I." Harris, Jr. filed suit against the estate of Marvin Gaye, claiming that their song, "Blurred Lines" was not infringing on Gaye's 1977 song, "Got to Give it Up." And yet, despite the fact that these gentlemen filed this suit proactively, their depositions should be filed under "What Not To Say Ever While Under Oath." Thicke, for his part, is claiming that he was so high on drugs and alcohol that he has barely any idea what he said or did at any point during the creation and production of the song, let alone during interviews given afterward. Because this is what we need by way of legal precedent in a high profile copyright case.
The transcripts of the depositions don't necessarily refute the plaintiffs' contention in their own summary judgment motion that "Blurred Lines" and "Got to Give It Up" are not substantially similar for purposes of a copyright analysis, but on the road to a trial that is currently scheduled for February 10, 2015, the Gayes believe they have ammunition to destroy the plaintiffs' credibility and honor.
"Thicke, for his part, now claims he made all of his statements while drunk or on drugs, none of them true, and he mentioned Marvin Gaye only to sell records," states the counter-claimants' court papers. "He also actually testified that he is not an honest person. This complete contempt for the judicial system, and their obligations to tell the truth, can best be summed up by Thicke's ultimate admission, while under oath, that he '[does not] give a f—k' about this litigation." –Hollywood Reporter
LEGO's Girl Problem Starts with Management – This is a really great piece about the gender problem with LEGO, and how its manifestation is, in part, a reflection of the lack of gender diversity within the company, especially in key leadership and creative roles. One of the saddest things is that LEGO, which used to be inherently gender-neutral, actually kept itself financially viable by carving out an overwhelmingly male customer base.
Family-owned LEGO toys used to be staunchly gender neutral – as self-professed Lego geek David Pickett exhaustively demonstrates. The early advertisements featured both boys and girls playing with identical toys. When minifigs were first introduced in the late 70s – the era of androngyny – gender was downplayed, and the 80s were a golden age for the company. But between the late '80s and early '00s, the company launched a stream of product lines aimed at girls, none particularly successful and most heavily anchored in pink. These weren't toys that boys and girls could play with – the company was now making one set of toys for boys (which were often more interesting and challenging to build) and one set of pink, simplified products for girls, including a jewelry line and dollhouses. As Pickett points out, many of these pieces weren't even compatible with the majority of Legos (i.e., the boy Legos) – and interchangeability is the whole value proposition of the Lego system. –Harvard Business Review Blog
The black Victorians: astonishing portraits unseen for 120 years – Although these are not, by far THE ONLY black Victorians, this London exhibit, Black Chronicles II, is surely eye opening for those who still believe that a) most 19th century black people were slaves or servants, and b) that American and British history is largely white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant. You can view more of the images here, at the exhibition website.
Fittingly, the exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Stuart Hall, the influential left-wing cultural theorist who died this year, and whose writings underpin The Missing Chapter project. "They are here because you were there," he wrote of the black British people whose experience he illuminated. "There is an umbilical connection. There is no understanding Englishness without understanding its imperial and colonial dimensions." The excavated images in Black Chronicles II provide a crucial and, until now, overlooked way of further understanding that complex connection. –The Guardian

Chicken Avocado Lime Soup
Yield: About 6 servings
• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts*
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup chopped green onions (including whites, mince the whites)
• 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced (leave seeds if you want soup spicy, omit if you don't like heat)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 (14.5 oz) cans low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 3 medium avocados, peeled, cored and diced
• In a large pot heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add green onions and jalapenos and saute until tender, about 2 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of
sauteing. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cumin, season with salt and pepper to taste and add chicken breasts. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium,
cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has cooked through 10 - 15 minutes (cook time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts). Reduce burner to warm
heat, remove chicken from pan and let rest on a cutting board 5 minutes, then shred chicken and return to soup. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Add avocados to soup just before serving (if
you don't plan on serving the soup right away, I would recommend adding the avocados to each bowl individually, about 1/2 an avocado per serving). Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and
sour cream if desired.
• *For thicker chicken breasts, cut breasts in half through the length (thickness) of the breasts, they will cook faster and more evenly.
• Recipe Source: adapted slightly from Mama Miss

I was busy again today finishing up the sewing projects I had, and now two packages are ready to be mailed later this afternoon.
Wednesday is our day for the farmers' market. I returned my empty honey jar (glass) and purchased another bottle, I had my reusable produce bags made from a set of sheer curtains which were filled with broccoli, lettuce, and potatoes. The eggs were less than half the price the stores want so a dozen came home with me too. The woman selling fruit insisted I had to have a paper bag, I'll return them to her next week. I brought home red raspberries, blueberries and these cherries.
I had to purchase an item from one woman there whose son went to school with mine. While my boys aren't vegetarian I love being able to offer them something better than they can get elsewhere, like this raw Havarti cheese.
On the other hand, the garden is being attacked by pests. Every book I read said not to worry about squashes as deer won't eat them. Tell that to my deer, they seem to love spaghetti squash. I don't think I'll be getting any this year now.
And the Zinnias were covered with Japanese beetles. My granddaughter removed them but as fast as she could pick them off they were back. To say she's not happy is an understatement. She's announced she doesn't like deer or beetles and won't leave food out for the deer. (She often leaves a pile of greens for the deer away from the garden).
With the gardens becoming a real challenge let's move indoors for our weekly challenge with Reduce Footprints. This week it's all about our kitchen.
My kitchen is pretty good at the moment. I recently went through everything and donated or gave away anything I hadn't used in a while. A couple items stayed such as the potato peeler (I usually use a knife instead) because the little ones bring clay and play doh over from time to time and raid the kitchen for utensils they can use.
I'm not sure what I can do to green my kitchen this week. For those of you who are new, here's a short rundown of what I've accomplished in the last couple of years.
Things I don't have
- Neither a stove or refrigerator
- Microwave
- Non-stick cookware
- Multiple utensils
- Blender
- Meats of any kind
- Plastic containers or dishes
- Junk foods and processed foods
- any chemical cleaners
- Paper towels or napkins
- Clocks
What I do have
- Small chest freezer
- Stick blender or immersion blender
- Pur faucet mount water filter
- Metal dish rack
- Slow cooker
- Stainless steel rice cooker
- All stainless steel utensils
- Lots of organic produce
- Mason jars filled with dried beans and legumes
- Only enough dishes for everyday use
- Two plants (ivy and aloe) to keep the air clean
- All natural cleaners (baking soda and vinegar)
- Plenty of rags for messes that do happen
- Cloth napkins in place of paper
- Stainless steel, glass or locally made pottery for dishes and glassware
- Small metal pot for heating water
Things I've already taken on
- All light bulbs in my home are LED
- Faucet is low-flow
- Watch the water usage, washing dishes I use a small bowl and wash each item one at a time as that's all that will fit.
- Wash dishes with baking soda
- I have one outlet in the kitchen area. In this I have a power strip which only has items plugged in when in use.
- I did upgrade the paint on the cabinets and used a low-VOC paint that was given to me.

7 Ways to Maximize the Value Data Visualization in Dashboards
by Allison R. Allison
November 27, 2013
Allison R. Allison is a consultant with Leidos Health and is associated with the HIMSS Clinical & Business Intelligence Data and Analytics Task Force. Allison is currently assisting hospitals in gathering requirements for analytical dashboards and ICD-10 remediation efforts. Her interest in visual design of dashboards was sparked through these dashboard developments. Allison received a Master's Degree in Epidemiology from Michigan State University.
Dashboards are a popular way to get information out to members of an organization. According to Stephen Few, a leading user interface dashboard expert, "(a) dashboard is a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives, consolidated and arranged on a single screen so the information can be monitored at a glance" (Few, Stephen. "Information Dashboard Design." 2nd Ed. Analytics Press (Burlingame, CA), 2013. At 26). So, what does this mean?
A dashboard brings together the information that an end user needs to understand and monitor what is going on in the business. For example, a quality dashboard might include a scorecard that describes how the quality metrics are performing against goals, a chart that trends metrics over time, and a list dimensions (e.g., physician, location, service) by which the metrics can be stratified.
Dashboards are popular because they provide useful information quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, sometimes a dashboard's design thwarts the end user from acting on the information provided. Sticking to the rules below will help ensure that the dashboard provides the clearest message possible.
Only use color to communicate points; not decorate
Color is a great way to communication information to an end user. However, if used improperly it can distract the user from the important information on a dashboard. A good idea is to start a dashboard with muted background colors like white or grey. Then add color and color intensity to draw the users' attention to what is important, such as metrics that are not meeting goals or whose trends going in the wrong direction. Color can also be used to relate information within a dashboard. For example, every time you see a blue bar on a graphic it represents a specific metric and a red bar represents another metric.
Use space to emphasize what is important
The amount of space utilized by a metric should be proportional to the importance of that metric. Important metrics might have detailed drills or break outs since the end users may require more detailed information to get the answers needed.
Dashboard should fit to one page
According to Few, a dashboard should be limited to a single screen. If a dashboard user has to scroll there is a possibility of missing information because the metrics at the bottom of the page will not be assessed as often. Additionally, scrolling a dashboard may mean that users have to remember numbers from the top part of the dashboard to compare them to the bottom part of the dashboard. This can be problematic given that most people cannot easily remember more than 5 numbers.
Place important metrics where they will be noticed
Not all the screen's real estate is equally valuable. As shown in Figure 1, people tend to scan a screen from top left (most valuable – bright green) to bottom right (least valuable - grey), with center of the screen also being a focal point. When laying out a dashboard take advantage of this by placing important metrics and charts in areas that naturally get more attention from a user's eyes.
Figure 1: The associated value assigned to a single screen space
Use graphics to convey intended messages
Make sure that the graphics you use convey the intended message. The bars on the two charts illustrated in Figure 2 each represent the same values (30, 25 and 35). However, the graphical display for the chart on the right has been configured incorrectly because a visual interpretation makes it appear that the outer bars are double and triple the middle bar.
Figure 2: The differences between displaying the Y-axis at zero versus a midpoint.
Include context on metrics
Providing metrics without context can leave the dashboard user asking "so what?" For example, in Figure 3 the graphic on the left shows that a 30-day hospital readmission rate in December of 18% for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is an interesting metric but it does not do much to inform the dashboard user. Context informs the dashboard user with information such as:
- Is the trend improving over time?
- How does the rate compare to the goal, target or threshold?
- How does the rate compare to industry averages or benchmarks?
- What is the rate of improvement or degradation?
A much better version of the graph that includes context is shown on the right side of Figure 3.
Figure 3: Provide context so that user have the information to draw useful conclusions.
Keep it simple
The last major point is to keep the design as simple as possible. There is a tendency to create overly complicated dashboards that contain odometers, gauges, stoplights and complex graphs that chart too many variables. Do not decorate your dashboards with these unless there is a clear purpose and avoid using detailed precision unless it is truly necessary. Including extraneous and meaningless items on a dashboard makes it harder for the user to find, understand and compare the metrics of interest.
Following the steps outlined above will help to display those messages in a clear and easy to understand format.

Audio files (MP3) callout "InfoTip" in WinExplorer
An obscure request -- I hope I am in the correct forum.
With Windows Explorer, when mouse pointer hovers over any file a callout appears. (InfoTip ?)
Several years ago on a Win-XP PC registry, I rearranged the order of the callout info including adding and deleting items for MS Word documents. I cannot find my notes how/where I did it.
eg, I rearranged the order of info as it appeared on the callout. I added, deleted, demoted and promoted "info" I wanted to have quick access to, sourcing available "item-names" from the file properties dialog.
In Win-7 MP3 files display ...
... by default -- which does not give me "Comments" nor "Subtitle"
Part of my MP3 collection are lectures/documentaries that I need more info at a glance without opening cumbersome file-properties.
Win-Exp "Details pane" shows less info than a callout and occupies too much real estate on a laptop
Where and how can I tweak MP3 file info in the Win-7 registry. ?
For memory (in MS Word) the list was a semi-colon/comma (?) delimited string
I would hazard a guess MP3 audio files might be under a Windows Media Player registry key.
As my image (above) shows I use VLC as my default media player.
In HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3 the "FileInfo" string, each semicolon-delimited item has a period-delimited "path" ... are you still with me?
I would be grateful for any ideas

After a strong start for the #17 Terps, they ended with a fizzle in Tallahassee against the #12 Florida State Seminoles, dropping a crucial ACC game 72-66. Alyssa Thomas might have clinched her ACC Rookie of the Year award, dropping a career high 26 points.
Maryland (21-6, 7-5 ACC) came out fast, rushing out to a 9-1 lead before Florida State (22-5, 10-2 ACC) settled and chipped away at the deficit. The Seminoles took their first lead of the game off a Courtney Ward three pointer to make it 24-22. Maryland never led again.
While Lynetta Kizer posted her eight double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 rebounds, despite battling flu like symptoms, the freshman Alyssa Thomas stole the show leading all scorers with 26 points on national television. She led a Maryland attack that was determined to run a fast paced style of offense, leading to a lot of bodies flying throughout the game.
The Terps went into the break down 36-28 and stepped up their defense in the second in hopes of clawing back the lead. They forced the FSU to shoot a pedestrian 30% from the field and kept them out of the paint limiting them to eight points. Maryland got within three with 12:35 left but couldn't get over the hump.
But while winning the rebound battle (51-45) and points in the paint (44-22) kept them in it, Florida State would make crucial plays down the stretch and eventually kept themselves in the top three of the ACC standings.
After losing three of their last four, the Terps return home for their final home game of the year against the Virginia Tech Hokies Thursday Feb. 24 at 7 pm.
Player of the Game: No doubt here, Alyssa Thomas played an outstanding game in a losing effort. Setting a career high on ESPN2 shows that Thomas steps it up in big games. She added six rebounds and two steals and pretty much locked up the ACC ROY award.

From Mainstream Country to Mohawks: An Interview with Shelly Fairchild
In 2004, Mississippi native Shelly Fairchild established herself as one of the most promising performers in mainstream country music with her debut album, Ride. The project's first single, "You Don't Lie Here Anymore," was just a small taste of her considerable talents as a singer and songwriter.
Though she would later tour as an opening act for Trace Adkins and Rascal Flatts, the song was her lone success on the Billboard charts. After a few false starts, Fairchild chose to take matters into her own hands. In 2011, she released a new album, Ruby's Money, on her own label, Revelation Nation Records.
Ruby's Money was produced by Fairchild's friend and collaborator Stephony Smith, writer of the award-winning Tim McGraw/Faith Hill duet "It's Your Love." Their winning blend of Delta blues and roadhouse funk is a terrific showcase of Fairchild's powerful soprano.
Fairchild discusses her twin roles—national entertainer and record label owner—with Engine 145.
What are the unique challenges and opportunities when you're releasing an album independently?
I was really always afraid because I know how important marketing dollars are and how much goes behind a record launch. The album was made on another label (Stroudavarious Records) and was executive produced by James Stroud, and Stephony Smith was also part of the production. It still exists, but they didn't really have the pop elements that I needed, so I left the label in January 2011 and launched the album on my indie label, Revelation Records. I'm thrilled because now I can make all the decisions. I'm the end-all, be-all. It's so fantastic. I can make decisions like when I cut my hair off from it being halfway down my back into a mohawk without someone saying, "That's a terrible mistake."
I think it can be a great choice. The world is so focused now on this wonderful entrepreneurship. I'm hopeful that it will be a great time. I had a discussion the other day with another indie artist who used to be on Lyric Street Records, and I was saying that you move to this town and you're the smallest fish in the sea, and not everybody knows who you are. To show up to a restaurant or a venue and people know you and come up and talk to you, that's all we were asking for and what we were dreaming of as kids. That's how I go about measuring success. I'm grateful for what I've accomplished.
What's the theme of Ruby's Money in your mind?
I feel that it's about love, all-encompassing love. It's about American soul music and it's a story that needs to be told. I want to be reigniting a fire in your soul and hooking you in [to the music].
What did you take away from working with an acclaimed writer such as Stephony Smith?
When you find someone that gets you and gets what you're trying to say and can facilitate any avenue of creativity, it's so important. I have been able to say exactly what I've wanted to say. She doesn't let me turn in on myself. It's hard to find someone you trust enough. She's been so successful and she's so talented. We started out writing together on the first record with Sony in 2004. She co-wrote four songs with me ("Kiss Me," "I Wanna Love You," "Tiny Town," "Ride").
How does the recording process for Ruby's Money compare to making your major-label album?
I was a little kid, well, I wasn't a little kid, but in terms of when I came into the process. I had not co-written before and I hadn't been pitched songs from the likes of Hillary Lindsey and Leslie Satcher. All of these songwriters are ones I'd been dying to meet. I was introduced to so many great people and it was not a bad experience at all. That record I definitely went to school and I feel like I graduated, so the EP was kind of like my first job, and this second album I know what I want to say and how I want to approach the world. It took me three years to find out that Music Row is what it is. That was my college, my education, to meet these people and these major players in the business.
It seems like women in country music have a harder time finding success than men.
That's always been the case. It's unfortunate that the girls are always having to work harder, but that separates people—those who are real and determined to make it and those that aren't.
What's it like interpreting other people's song as compared with writing your own?
I think with interpreting other people's songs, I wasn't the one in the room bleeding. I did co-write four songs on the first record. The difference is I had to learn how to write. I was on a journey. This time I was more in my own body and my own mind. I've matured a little. All of the songs are written by me and Stephony, and sometimes we would pull in a third writer like Anthony Smith or Liz Rose, these ridiculously amazing writers. What I really wanted to make was soul music, and I'm so honored they were involved. It really was a labor of love.
The band I play with, and with the help of the musicians, we put together the pre-production during the live shows. I kept booking shows so I could get out in front of everybody. When we went into the studio, we knew every part we wanted to play. Every piece of fabric of this quilt was placed strategically.
If you had it to do all over again, would you have done anything differently?
I can't say there's anything I would do differently. All my experience has helped me understand what I'm supposed to do. I had three singles out on country radio and the label put me out on tour. Why didn't I catapult to superstardom? Because I wasn't supposed to. I made this record from a different perspective. I needed to get to the pain and the disappointment. If you're sheltered from the pain, how do you have anything to say? So I wouldn't do anything differently. There are some characters that I wish I had never met, but now I can look for them in the future and steer very clear. (laughs)
What milestones do you hope to reach in your career within the next few years?
I don't want to lose my perspective. I would love to be on television and have my music heard all around the world. I just want to play live; people need to see me live so we can have that love connection. If you want to sell a million records, you have to shake a million hands. My agenda is: I want to be doing this in 10, 15, 20 years.

I love her new album, it's definatley different from her first album, but it's really enjoyable. I'm hoping she can one day get a big break.
Thanks for that fine interview Blake. I'm so glad I finally got to read it! (lol)
Shelly's "Ride" album rocked too hard for a female country artist at the time (and probably even now except for Miranda), and "You Don't Lie Here Any More" was an extreme example! I was really hoping "Tiny Town" would be a radio hit as it was more suitable, but alas AirHead Country Radio ignored that song as well.
I saw Shelly in concert last year performing songs off this new album at LA's tiny and historic (by LA standards) MINT Club. I was so glad to finally see her perform live and chat with her afterwards, and get her to autograpgh my "Ride" CD. Stephony Smith was in the audience and even joined Shelly for a couple of songs on stage which was a pleasant surprise. Shelly puts on a high energy and entertaining show by any standard of measure.
Although I do enjoy lisstening to "Ruby's Money", I much prefer "Ride" as it contains some great rockin' bluesy songs like "Down Into Muddy Water" and "I'm Going Back". These songs were a revelation coming from a major Nashville country label in the mid 2000's!
Note: I highly recommend anyone who wants to pick up a CD hard copy of Shelly's "Ride" album look specifically for an "Advance" version rather than the commercial CD. "Ride" was one of those unfortunate Sony/BMG CD's encoded with the copy protection software that the label was sued for! The advance copies do not have copy protection and sound better too! (Just look on FleaBay.)
