Inspiration that was from fall, yet inspires me now towards a brighter future.
Inspiration that was from fall, yet inspires me now towards a brighter future.
About 4 months ago I quit my dead-end job and took my career in fashion to the next level. When I quit I did not have another job in line. Considering that I attend school full-time, I quit after I had received a phone call stating that I was receiving a grant I had applied for. Although the grant would aid in finances during the school year and I have worked sine I was 15, I just couldn't be without work. I started by updating my resume, diligently looking on craigslist and the help-wanted ads, when I fell upon a post on Craigslist advertising for fashion merchandisers in the Northwest area. I quickly clicked the link, which led me to the Chloe +Isabel website and read more about this amazing opportunity. This was the job I was looking for, where I could make my own hours, get ahead in the fashion industry, and gain the entrepreneurial skills, all while attending school and building my fashion business; Simone Shaw Style Studio.
Fast forward a couple months to now, and you have a woman that is building her portfolio, working towards a degree while sustaining her happiness! I could not ask for a better job! So, although I had anticipated sharing this with you readers months back, life got a bit crazy and you are now hearing of it. Better late than never!
AND to reward loyal readers from now until December 31st, 11:59PM EST, when you purchase from my boutique and spend $100 or more, you will receive a FREE C+I gift from me! Make sure to shop the link below to qualify. You also must comment below with the email you used for purchasing, so I can double check your order.
Thank you for your support!
-Simone Shaw
Autumn has fallen upon us in the Northwest and not a moment too soon. This weekend we were met with thunderous light storms, which humbles some and scares others. I was amongst the humbled; Orion, my 5 year-old wasn't. I did try to reason with him, being that we had recently returned from Church; I stated it was God speaking to us. He seemed to be impressed with this definition.
Circle back to topic at hand, the beauty of thunderstorns is it gives you the liberty to cuddle up in a soft sweater, throw on a pair of relaxed boyfriend jeans and your cutest pointy toe pumps and venture to the local coffee house to soak up the sights and sounds while sipping on that perfect, 'Tall Soy White Chocolate Mocha'. I know your probably thinking why soy, if it's white chocolate?! Not only does it taste better, not too rich, it doesn't upset my stomach.
The change in weather accompanies my obsession with sweaters, alluring me to go shopping for a few new pieces to add to my autumn wardrobe. I have chosen 16 of my favorites to showcase to you here. How do you style your sweaters?
well, I started this months back, yet never published it. it had like 33 words anyway. so, on another note, SORRY! I know i have been MIA! Like I may have said before, and if I haven't I am officially making it concrete…I feel as though for the last 4 years I have been playing catch up with my life. Since becoming a mother, I have accomplished many a feats, yet I still feel as though some part of me has been wandering aimlessly around trying desperately to find some grounding. As of late, I feel as though i am more grounded. I sorta feel a good flow happening between my life and my child's life. I can especially say, that it is working that Orion's father is finally showing a commitment that we can count on (fingers crossed). Part of my absence on the blog tip is that I have broken the cord to charge my battery for my camera, so I finally bit the bullet and went on amazon and purchased this battery pack! which is so going to come in handy!!! WHEW…I am so tired of being sans camera. Although, I did upgrade to a new iPhone and my Instagram is working so much more vivid! So, I leave you with a few of my creations.
Once I have my batteries, you will get more fashionable personable posts as well as tips, giveaways, etc. This year is my year, this month is my golden birthday, on the last day of May!!!! Goodness Golden Goddess! I do hope to attract more followers with more consistency on the blog. What are some of your favorite past posts of mine?
Please do leave a comment below and share. I would like some input as to what blog posts are favorites. Thanks so much. Until next time.
BFLY aka BFLYsouljah aka BFLY mama aka Luxurious Latoya
I am sorry for my lack of updates. I started into my Spring Quarter at school and I am already playing catch up! I feel as though I have been playing catch up with my life since I moved. boy am I looking forward to this weekend! This quarter I only have classes on monday, wednesday and friday and this friday is GOOD FRIDAY, which means no school until Monday and my English professor has a conference Monday, so I will have until 1:30 Monday the 9th to get my apartment and school affair in order! I need to use the time wisely. on another note, I have found some deep needed inspiration from a fellow blogger mr.kate! <—-check her out, she is amazing and so is her line of jewelry, which you can buy online here. I have showcased my favorites from her Days of Ore lookbook, below. My favorite being the "mr.kate vintage logo necklace", I am saving up to purchase this for my 31st *GOLDEN birthday this May!
well, I hope you like oohing and awing at the pieces and the gorgeous models as much as I did. If so, support another artist in this world and purchase some mr.kate of your own! Till next time (hopefully sooner than later), peace & glitter BFLYsouljah's…

Opera acquires Handster app store
The Opera brand name is usually associated with desktop and mobile web browsers, but it seems like the company is actively working on broadening its field of expertise. Setting foot firmly on app store territory, Opera Software has acquired Handster, which is currently the biggest third-party market for Android applications and a popular hub for those looking for iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Java software.
However, besides offering tons of app tailored for a variety of operating systems, Handster makes its profit by allowing its store to be used as a platform, upon which other companies can make their own app stores marketed with their respective brands. MTS, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei and LG are all among Handster's current partners.
Acquiring Handster will lead to the expansion of Opera's very own software marketplace – the Opera Mobile Store, and will most certainly strengthen the company's presence on the mobile front. Here is what Lars Boilesen, CEO of Opera Software stated in regards to the acquisition:
Opera is evolving from being a browser company into a fully integrated mobile services company and this acquisition is an important step in that direction. We are delighted to welcome the Handster team into the Opera family. Handster will enable us to strengthen our mobile store offerings to consumers, mobile operators and handset manufacturers.
Further details about the deal were not disclosed.

Hurricane Irene Looms Off Carolina Coast
Updated from 12:04 p.m. EDT with latest forecast from the National Weather Service and Subway shutdowns
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tropical storm-force winds began to batter the coast of North Carolina on Friday afternoon as Hurricane Irene descended upon the East Coast.
The brunt of the storm was expected to strike in the evening as a trough of low pressure was projected to intersect Irene and push it north with New York City lining up for a direct hit.
|Hurricane Irene downgraded to a Category 2 Hurricane on Friday.
Hurricane Irene lost a slight amount of intensity on Friday as of 2:00 p.m. EDT with sustained winds at about 100 mph, but little change in strength was expected for the next 24 hours.Since Thursday night's 115 mph winds, Irene has weakened a bit but the National Weather Service said the path of the hurricane remained relatively unchanged in the Atlantic Ocean as the storm pattern continued to move toward the North Carolina coast. Irene carried sustained winds of 110 mph at 8:45 a.m. EDT, which dropped it to a Category 2 hurricane after it failed to gain as much strength in the warm Bahamas waters that meteorologists originally forecast. "All indications point to this being a historic hurricane," President Barack Obama told the press from his vacation home in Martha's Vineyard, Mass. "The federal government has spent the better part of last week... to see to it that we are prepared." New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made the
Scenes at Rockaway, Queens after Hurricane Donna made landfall on Long Island as a Category 2 in 1960
"Weakening does not mean weak," Chris Vaccaro, a spokesman for the National Weather Service, told TheStreet. He said that Irene had winds of 115 mph to 120 mph for some time on Thursday, but added that the difference between the impact of 115 mph winds and 100 mph winds for the size of this storm was "academic." Hurricane warnings stretched from North Carolina all the way up to New Jersey, and a watch was in effect from the New York/New Jersey border to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border.

Human Male African Skull BC-110
This is an excellent example of an African skull and perfect for use with our Asian and European skulls for comparative study. Although the concept of race assessment is controversial, certain features of the skull may be of use in differentiating ancestral groups. The nasal root is depressed and the nasal angle is obtuse. The nasal aperture is broad from top to bottom. The lower part of the nostrils has a bilateral gutter and there is no sill. The upper dental arcade has a somewhat rectangular shape. The incisors in the upper jaw are blade-like; however, there is a slight suggestion of shoveling on the left incisor. The face projects forward to a mild to moderate degree. A report that details the assessment of sex, ancestry and other aspects of the skull is available (BC-110-Report) and will be sent with the purchase of the skull.

James Hetrick
I have been a trainer full time for the last 11 years. Prior to becoming a trainer full time, I was a 5th grade elementary school teacher for 12 years.
Teaching 5th grade inspired me to become a Certified personal trainer full time. The obesity rate of school age children is on the rise and I was able to observe this first hand. Every year it seemed as if the children would walk into my classroom a little heavier than the year before. So I decided to resign from teaching and become a trainer. My classroom switched from a school to a gym.
My Philosophy is NEW MIND:NEW BODY. I believe that your physical reality(HEALTH) starts with the 60,000 or so thoughts that you have each day. I focus on training the mind to develop new thought patterns as much as I train the body. If you only change the body without changing the mind, then the change will only be temporary. The mind still having the same thoughts about health and fitness, will set up the same conditions to get the body back to the same shape it was prior to the training. If given the opportunity, I will help you to develop new thinking patterns(NEW MIND) that will lead to a NEW BODY.
Gerald McLoryd
Gerald McLoryd has over 30 years experience in the fitness industry. He is certified through the U.S. Nutrition analysis Assoc. and American Council in Exercise and licensed under Sportelesis. He has certifications from ACE, ACSM, NSC, and IFPA. Gerald was a semi-pro football player for a short time and the love of sports has stayed with him his entire life. As a certified nutrition technician and fitness consultant, Gerald's nutrition program stresses that there is no universal "cure-all" diet. The only successful weight management program is the one designed for each person individually. Gerald's program will fit you and your everyday lifestyle. His philosophy on training takes into consideration one's genetics, eating habits, activity levels, work schedules, and other variables when developing a work-out program. He uses a technique in his training that he refers to as "the pause principle" otherwise known as the isometric-stop training or hold and contract training. This technique utilizes the entire range of motion while pausing at specific points during the exercise. Gerald's slow and deliberate approach makes every movement count and every effort matter. Form isn't everything, it's the only thing. Additionally, Gerald believes that age is a state of mind and body, one must stay young. He tries to instill this belief in terms of keeping oneself youthful, especially in ones state of mind. Talk to Gerald today to start on the road to developing a youthful mind and body.
David Sandman, NSCA-CPT

We are word people, having cut our teeth on Strunk and White, but
we are familiar with the aphorism about pictures. We also know that it's
no fun reading long blocks of text on a screen, even if they offer
information that is timely and useful. At our nursery, we are engaged daily in
practically every known form of gardening. So we put two and two together,
bought a camera, and went into the video business. As the year progresses,
we'll film all over the farm while seedlings get transplanted, Wisterias
get pruned, Dahlias get potted, Begonias get staked...
If you have ideas for topics we should address, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

John Hood: In the absence of argument ...
RALEIGH — "People generally quarrel," G.K. Chesterton once wryly observed, "because they cannot argue."
To the extent North Carolina politics looks increasingly quarrelsome at the moment, it is because of a breakdown of argument — of constructive debate among people of good faith who happen to disagree on public policy. Instead, traditional and online media alike are filled with venom, personal attacks, conspiracy theories and overall boorishness.
The Republicans now in power in Raleigh campaigned for their offices on the basis of specific policy promises. For the most part, they have delivered on these promised policies, or are in the midst of doing so.
The public certainly deserves spirited debate about all these proposals (and Republicans ought to welcome it as a means of sharpening their own arguments). There's an important distinction, however, between spirited debate and character assassination. Republicans don't favor tax cuts, regulatory reform, energy exploration, or school choice because some shadowy special-interest group has paid them off. Republicans favor these ideas because they believe them to be good public policy.
The Republicans could be mistaken, of course. Their critics ought to construct valid arguments to that effect. Some do. But others have chosen to question the Republicans' intentions, honesty or sanity. Why? One reason is that such tactics get attention. They generate online traffic and checks from true believers.
Another reason, however, is that consequentialist arguments against the GOP agenda are premature. On the top issue facing North Carolina, economic growth, it is difficult to argue that Republican policies have failed when they are, at most, two years old. Moreover, the state's economy is performing better today than it was when the GOP captured the Legislature in 2010, creating an obvious rhetorical challenge for the party' critics.
In December 2008, North Carolina's U-3 unemployment rate was 8.4 percent. Over the next two years, the jobless rate skyrocketed and then fell slightly, to 10.5 percent in December 2010. On the broader U-6 measure of unemployment and underemployment, North Carolina averaged 17.4 percent in 2010, up from 11.3 percent in 2008. During the same two-year period, the state's economy shed a net 158,000 jobs.
Since the end of 2010, by contrast, the state's economy has added some 157,000 net new jobs. As of March 2013, the U-3 jobless rate has fallen to 9.2 percent and the U-6 rate to 16.2 percent — still high rates (partly because of continued migration of job seekers to North Carolina) but on a downward trajectory.
It would be unwise for legislative Republicans to claim credit for this modest but welcome improvement. There are many factors at work. Still, it would be even more unwise — and unpersuasive — for their critics to try to construct an empirical argument against the state GOP's economic policies in light of these statistics.
That leaves them with fewer rhetorical arrows in their quivers. So they quarrel. At some point, perhaps, they will be in a position to argue once again.

For the second time in recent weeks, Gwyneth Paltrow has dropped out of a high-profile indie film project, reportedly because she's still too distraught over her father's death last fall to work. According to the Hollywood Reporter, she's left the cast of ''I Love Huckabee's,'' the upcoming romantic comedy with Mark Wahlberg and Jude Law, that's the first film for writer/director David O. Russell since 1999's ''Three Kings.'' ''The Ring'''s Naomi Watts is in talks to take her place on the film, which shoots in June.
Earlier this month, Paltrow dropped out of ''Happy Endings,'' costarring Lisa Kudrow, and to be directed this summer by Don Roos (who directed Paltrow in ''Bounce''). Jennifer Garner is replacing her. Paltrow cited her grief over her father, TV producer Bruce Paltrow, for that departure as well, according to the Reporter. However, she's managed to work on two films in the interim: the Sylvia Plath biopic ''Ted and Sylvia,'' which was shooting when Bruce Paltrow died; and ''The World of Tomorrow,'' a big-budget sci-fi film co-starring Law, which began shooting in March.

Bucharest is a large city with an expansive region. The region of Bucharest contains a few suburbs and nearby towns as well as several small lakes, including a manmade one. If you venture to visit Bucharest, you can go to the Mogoşoaia Palace, just outside the city. You may also follow the legend of Dracula by heading for Snagov. Dracula's grave is here, according to ancient legends. You may decide, however, to restrict your visit to the city itself. Prepare through wegolo.com for hotels, because Bucharest can be expensive. Nevertheless, no visit to the region is complete without a visit to Bucharest. Check this site for specific details on Bucharest accommodations well in advance.
There are many Bucharest attractions to see in the city. You may want to wander the tree-lined streets, promenade the lakes or admire the Modernist buildings of I.C. Iancu. Other Bucharest sights are the Stavropoleos Church (1724) and the National History Museum in the former Post Office Palace. Bucharest culture finds reflection in the many palaces including the Cotoceni Palace (1893), the Patriarch's Palace (1875) and the Victoria Palace (1935) as well as in its many museums. Things to do in Bucharest incorporate visiting these museums as well as visiting the botanical gardens. As for shopping in Bucharest – simply go to the Boulevard Lascar Cataglu.

In Zimbabwe, the United Family International Church founder is famed for performing "miracles" – some say he can make miracle money; pray for people to lose weight and even make miracle babies.
His visit to Manchester created a buzz in the Zimbabwean community in England, with many taking to Twitter and Facebook to predict what miracles he would perform.
But the miracle seekers were left slightly deflated after Makandiwa dedicated most of his time to conventional bible teachings.
One Zimbabwean who attended on Thursday and Friday said: "His teachings were deeper and calmer, and involved no miracle stunts or deliverance, much to the chagrin of the miracle seekers."
But while he may have left the get-rich-quick and get-slim-fast crowd high and dry, the Jubilee Church – which averaged 300 congregants on each of the two nights – got a taste of Makandiwa's miracle money after he donated an eye watering £100,000.
Makandiwa – who preaches to an average 5,000 people in Harare every Sunday – told the congregation that he had outgrown the biblical 10 percent tithe.
He declared: "I have gone beyond the traditional and biblical 10 percent. I now give 60 percent of my earnings to God, my family is happy to live on 40 percent.
"But I'm not saying this should be a standard for everyone."
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) says on its website that it has 300 parishes in over 30 countries, including its Manchester branch which invited Makandiwa and his Ghanaian "godfather" Prophet Victor Boateng.
Makandiwa's oversubscribed Sunday services, and connections with rich businessmen and politicans, have made him a wealthy man. But even his critics admit the preacher is a kind-hearted man who gives a lot to charity even as he leads a flashy lifestyle and drives supercars.

(1) Develop and/or disseminate CC knowledge.
(2) Facilitate CC information exchange.
(3) Enable efficient access to CC information.
(4) Provide CC technical guidance.
Note: In order to accomplish these we will recruit volunteer authors, practitioners, researchers, etc.; and will coordinate CC activities across CS Boards (EAB, PUB, SA, TAB, PA, MGA), CS TCs, and and IEEE CCI.

Objectives (mid to short term measurable specific actions) for years 2012-2013:

Related to Main Goal:

o Identify focal publications (e.g. the new Transactions on CC and CC Magazine) to collaborate with and to attract members.
- Organize contests (e.g. best 10 articles on Xplore) to supplement publications activities.
o Initiate collaboration with industry fora ( e.g. DMTF, CSA).

Related to Goal #3:
o Initiate contributions to IEEE CCI Web Portal.
o Initiate the development of an efficient search engine.
o Initiate proper tagging of CS CC publications.

CS designers want we to give them not direct ideas about our CS CC STC logo, but example of existing logos (of other any kind of organizations) that we like. Irena Bojanova 2012-09-07T00:35:32Z RE: Cloud Computing Sites Irena Bojanova http://www.computer.org/portal/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=5973597 2012-09-05T15:39:55Z 2012-09-05T15:39:55Z
Charlene Walrad:

Has anyone surveyed the exiting sites, like http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/ and the CSA, etc. sites? I think it would be helpful to make a list of the biggest ones and then look at them to figure out where we want to be in the landscape.

Yes, great idea. I am starting a "Cloud Computing Web-sites" area in STC>Documents.

Charlene Walrad:

Going back to today's discussion, there is a lot to be said for using the IEEE brand as an authority -- to set up a vendor-neutral source of reliable information and to demystify the cloud for consumers, for example, in areas like security, which seem to scare everyone in IT and at the end-user level.

I agree that "Vendor-neutral" is key consideration. We should rely on resources from organizations such as NIST and CSA. Irena Bojanova 2012-09-05T15:39:55Z CS CC STC Logo Irena Bojanova http://www.computer.org/portal/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=5963423 2012-09-04T00:00:07Z 2012-09-02T12:19:17Z Please provide your ideas on the CS CC STC Logo.

A ONCE IN A GENERATION CHANCE to boost North Sea oil and gas, these are the thoughts of Sir Ian Wood, the former Chairman and Chief Executive of Wood Group.
Make sure you don't miss the boat.
Tax breaks, a growth in demand for oil and gas and developing technology are allowing operators to move back into brownfield sites, extend the life of mature fields and forecast higher yields from greenfield developments.

And can not chew on them!
Posted by BDR on 22nd Nov 2013
I am quite pleased with this product. It provides a very good alternative when you have a "chewing" dog, and the rubber-flap type door simply is not an option.
The only things I would improve: employ some brass bushings -- instead of the rubber so that there is a much longer bushing life. Also, incorporate a magnet system to hold the door directly in place (I did this myself by simply placing a couple of very strong magnets - one on the bottom edge of the door, and one directly below it on the frame).
Thanks for the suggestions. We had several customers try a door with brass bushings. None were satisfied with them. The brass bushing can not follow the curve in the slot when the door moves up and down in. We also did some customer field tests with magnets that were unsuccessful.

I had several hunting dog in the past 30 years and all kinds of dog houses and kennel doors, home made and purchased. These doors will be the last doors I will ever need to buy. Great quality and design. Thanks
Good to hear that our doors are working well for you.
Joe Shown, K-9 Kondo Inc.
Posted by Tom on 6th Nov 2013
I purchases 2 K-9 Kondo doors recently and have been really happy with them so far. Many other doors I have purchase in the past my dogs have torn them off and destroyed them. K-9 Kondo doors have been holding up just like they said.
The only concern I have is that they are extremely hard to adjust and take a long time to get them just right so they don't hit when the dogs go out and in. They work good for a few days and then start hitting again. I think that they should come from the factory completely put togather and adjusted. All you would have to do is screw on the main frame.
I highly recommend these doors if your dogs chew and pull on doors.
Thanks for the kind words about the Kennel Door. Take a look at this video on installing and adjusting the Kennel Door http://www.k-9kondo.com/pages/Kennel-Door-Installation.html I think you will find that it will help.

I have two German shorthairs that share the same dog house & kennel. I went through several dog doors commercially purchased & even a door made from a semi tractor mud flaps. My dogs ate every door eventually until I purchased a K9 door about 3 years ago. Flawless performance & cogs can't hurt it. Only reason purchased another door is to install a door in my new pole barn for the new dog kennel.

Softball Splits Double Header Against UNW
NEW ULM, Minn. - The Martin Luther College softball team split a double header against Northwestern Thursday, losing game one 6-1 before winning game two 5-3.
Northwestern outhit the Knights 13-6 on the way to a 6-1 game one win.
The Eagles scored four times in the third inning to take the lead, and then added a pair of insurance runs later in the game to put the Knights away.
MLC scored its lone run in the second inning when Kelli Doell singled home Sara Willems, who reached base earlier in the inning with a double.
Kathryn Marquardt pitched all seven innings for the Knights and took the loss, falling to 5-6 on the season. She allowed all six runs (two earned) while striking out one.
The Knights built a four-run lead and held off a late UNW rally to win game two 5-3.
Willems put the Knights on the board in the second with an RBI single to score Andrea Biedenbender, and then the Knights took advantage of a Northwestern error to score three more runs in the fourth. Caity Seastrand, Maggie Schultz and Emily Waldek each had run-scoring singles in the inning.
The Knights scored a fifth run in the sixth inning, and then had to hold off the Vikings as they loaded the bases with no outs against MLC starter Kelli Doell in the top of the seventh, but Marquardt came in to get the final three outs and earn her first save of the season.
Doell pitched the first six-plus innings for the Knights, allowing three runs on ten hits while striking out four to improved to 5-5 on the season.
MLC moved to 11-12 overall and 5-8 in the UMAC with the split, while UNW is now 11-16 on the season and 7-5 in league play.
The Knights are scheduled to return to action tomorrow (Friday, April 18) when they host North Central for a double header. First pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m.

Watauga County
Salthouse to become CEO of High Country Community Health
Longtime community service advocate will lead effort to provide comprehensive primary healthcare services…
Alice Salthouse, the Director of Community Outreach for Appalachian Regional Healthcare System (ARHS) has resigned her post in order to accept a position of Chief Executive Officer with High Country Community Health, Inc.
|Alice Salthouse
High Country Community Health, a nonprofit organization that formed in 2010, recently received a $608,333 grant to establish a new federally qualified health center that receives funding under the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Health Center Program.
In her new role as CEO, Salthouse will operate centers that will provide comprehensive primary healthcare services, as well as supportive services (education, translation and transportation) that promote access to health care. The services provided by the clinic will be available to all, with fees adjusted based on ability-to-pay.
On Salthouse's new appointment, Chuck Mantooth, President of Watauga Medical Center commented, "Alice has dedicated her life toward serving others in our community. While I am saddened to see her go, she is a perfect fit for this new position. She will most certainly make a meaningful difference in the lives of people in Avery and Watauga Counties."
Formation of the new centers has been a collaborative effort involving the Appalachian Regional Healthcare System, district health departments, and other local individuals – in order to provide healthcare to patients without insurance.
Salthouse is a native of Morganton, NC and has served in various healthcare leadership roles since 1990. She was CEO of Blowing Rock Hospital before the ARHS merger in 2007. Salthouse holds a bachelor's degree from Western Carolina University and a master's in healthcare administration from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Salthouse's responsibilities with ARHS included organizing and obtaining a variety of grant funding for programs such as the Migrant Farmworker Program, Watauga County Healthy Carolinians and Appalachian Healthcare Project. All of these projects offer services to low-income, uninsured residents of Watauga and Avery counties.
Gillian Baker, Vice President of Corporate Communications of ARHS, will add oversight of the community outreach department to her current role with the healthcare system.
To learn more about Appalachian Regional Healthcare System, visit www.apprhs.org.
Emergency Exercise August 27th
Appalachian Regional Healthcare System (ARHS) will be participating in an Emergency Exercise on Saturday, August 27, 2011. This is ONLY a practice exercise and will involve the following local agencies… Blue Ridge Parkway Rangers, Blowing Rock Police Department, Watauga County Emergency Management, ARHS Police, Watauga County Sheriff's Office, Watauga County Rescue Squad and Blowing Rock Fire & Rescue.
Residents and visitors in the high country may see emergency vehicles entering the property (via Summit Meadow, between Hwy 321 and the Blue Ridge Parkway), but otherwise the exercise should not interfere with the normal Saturday morning activities in the area.
Gillian Baker, Vice President for Corporate Communications for ARHS shared, "Practicing our hospitals responses during a disaster is a requirement from the Joint Commission, but also a necessary part of what ARHS does to ensure that our staff are always ready for the unthinkable."
This Emergency Exercise will provide exercise participants the opportunity to evaluate current emergency response concepts, medical surge response operations and law enforcement response to a location. The exercise will also emphasize emergency response coordination, resource integration, problem identification and resolution between agencies.

Chromium code hints at Google Now for OS X
A few months back Chromium whiz François Beaufort spotted a piece of code in the open source web browser that hinted at Google Now possibly coming to Chrome. Today, the programmer has uncovered an issue log pointing out notification center enhancements for OS X. An entry, listed as "[Mac][MC] Implement notification updates and relayouts" could possibly indicate Google Now having a future on Apple's desktop platform. With Google's I/O a little over a week away, hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out. In the meantime, we'll reach out to the company for a comment on Beaufort's findings and see what turns up.

Historical tour from Vigo to the Baixo Mino and northern Portugal. We will visit a Fortress Cathedral, a walled town, a 2000 yr old village and much more. All the while sampling great food and wine.
Day 1
Leaving your hotel or cruise ship, we travel from Vigo by car. We head to an area known as the Baixo Mino where we will find the two border towns of Tui and Valenca. Tui is a charming town situated a top of a rocky outcrop, where a 12th century fortress cathedral overlooks the river Mino, which separates Galica from Portugal. We will walk around the historic quarter of Tui and visit the Cathedral a pilgrimage stop for those doing the camino from Portugal. Before venturing across the border, we'll stop to sample some of the local cuisine in a lovely Galician restaurant and of course sampling some of the famous local wine. We then cross into Portugal over the Mino and enter the walled town of Valenca do Minho for a little shopping and history.
We will then cross back into Spain and head towards the coast following the Mino, to the fishing village of A Guarda the last Spanish town on the Atlantic coast and make our way to the top of Monte Santa Tecla and take in the stunning 360deg views. We visit a 2000-year-old Celtic Hill Fort with museum and restored huts, and wander through this tiny village and its impossibly narrow paths.
We then head to Baiona along the Atlantic coast road where news of the discovery of the Americas first reached Europe. Before making our way back to Vigo and up to El Castro for some great views of the bay from a ruined 17th century fortress and then down into Vigo's historic quarter and back to your hotel or cruise ship.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Some companies are achieving high customer satisfaction, increasing sales revenue, and reducing business and IT costs related to customer data. They're improving internal productivity for sales, marketing and customer service while minimizing customer churn.
But other companies are not. They suffer high customer churn, poor productivity, and sluggish sales. When it comes to customer centricity, what differentiates best-in-class performers from the laggards?
It's a complete customer view that best-in-class companies have realized with master data management (MDM), according to a research brief by the Aberdeen Group, Creating a Complete Customer View: Best Practices in Master Data Management. The evidence isn't just anecdotal—it's based on an Aberdeen survey of 422 companies across various industries.
Aberdeen's independent study is enlightening for companies aiming to achieve customer centricity, featuring both benchmark data and practical strategies for putting MDM to work to build more profitable customer relationships. The report outlines how companies using MDM achieved:
- 88% customer satisfaction vs. 32% for laggard companies
- 91% customer retention vs. 62% for laggards
- 6% increase in net client value vs. a 9% decline for laggards available
The Research Brief also includes a case study about how Kodak is using MDM to attract and retain customers.
The survey results are also discussed in a conversation-style webinar hosted by Information Management, Message to IT: Provide Complete Customer View…Right Away, Please, with Aberdeen Research Director Peter Ostrow and Informatica's Ravi Shankar, Senior Director for MDM. During the webinar, Peter shared some additional findings, including:
- Response to customer inquiries is 56% faster at companies using MDM
- Only 36% of companies without MDM can drill into customer data details, compared to 75% of companies with MDM
- Customer-facing staff at companies not using MDM spend 16% of their time manually hunting for customer data, versus 6% at companies using MDM
It's easy to see how those better efficiency and productivity metrics would translate into higher customer satisfaction and revenue. For the full survey results and a Kodak case study, download the Aberdeen report and view the webinar on demand.

A former is a structural member of an aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The Former-and-Longeron technique was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the advent of structural skins such as fiberglass and other composite materials. Many of today's light aircraft, and homebuilt aircraft in particular, are still designed in this way. They are also found in the cores of potentiometers in which the resistive material is wrapped round.
