Angie's List is a US-based, advertising supported website containing crowd-sourced reviews of local businesses.
According to the October 2013 Quarterly Report [5] Angie's list currently has 78,867 paid members with membership, with revenue of $117 million and advertising revenue of 948.4 million, and a quarterly net loss of $1 million.
Formerly headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Angie's List was co-founded by William S. Oesterle and Angie Hicks in 1995. It was inspired by Hicks' search for a reliable contractor in suburban Columbus on behalf of Oesterle, a venture capitalist and her former supervisor. She relocated to Columbus to join him in creating Angie's List, which started as a call-in service and publication for reviews about home and lawn care. Hicks went door-to-door, signing up members and collecting ratings on local contractors. For a year, it was called "Columbus Neighbors", the name and idea being patterned after the Indianapolis, Indiana-based community publication, Unified Neighbors.[6] After solely recruiting more than 1,000 members in Columbus within one year, Hicks turned to Oesterle to raise money from investors in order to develop the business at a steady pace.[7]
In 1996, Angie's List purchased Unified Neighbors from creator Bill Corbin and relocated its headquarters to Indianapolis. By 1999, the database of local services and reviews was moved to the internet. During the ensuing years, their customer base and business relationships grew throughout North America, while also expanding to include additional service industries such as health care and auto care.[8]
In August of 2013, Angie's List acquired online start-up SmartHabitat Inc. ("BrightNest"), calling the move a strategic next step in its drive to transform local service.[9]
Since 2010, Angie's List has expanded in the United States, and the current number of members is over 70,000. Yet despite this growth in membership, Angie's List has never had a profitable year.[10]
Angie's List grades companies using a report-card-style scale, which ranges from A to F; these ratings are based on the following criteria: price, quality, responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism.[3] Each company has its own page, which is composed of a description of its business along with the customer reviews. The aggregate grade is drawn from the combined reviews and grades given to the businesses from the consumers.
Angie's List has been criticized for the fundamental contradiction between its claimed philosophy ("Companies can't pay to be on Angie's List") and the conflict of interest caused by reliance on advertising revenue for 70% of cash flow. [11] Answering a complaint from a user, David Segal found that when subscribers post a negative review of a company to Angie's List, a staff member discusses it with them in an attempt to rectify the situation. If the company is one that advertises with Angie's List, the negative review will be removed and then the customer must give an A or B grade. The company's effort to keep advertisers happy reveals their conflict of interest.[12]
The October 2013 issue of Consumer Reports Money Adviser reported:
"We think that the ability of A- and B-rated companies to buy their way to the top of the default search results skews the results. Cheryl Reed, a spokeswoman for the company, disagrees. 'We don't believe that,' she says. But Angie's List marketing materials intended for businesses say that companies that advertise get 'an advantage of increased exposure' that 'can propel you ahead of your competition.' They get 12 times more profile views than companies that don't buy ads. Angie's List encourages businesses to solicit reviews by giving customers free, postage-paid forms, stickers on thank you notes, and Web links embedded in e-mail invoices. But experts who study survey techniques say that can create a bias for positive reviews. Angie's List misleads consumers by prominently promising that 'businesses don't pay' and that it's a consumer-driven service supported by membership fees. But almost 70 percent of the company's revenues come from advertising purchased by the service providers being rated. Angie's List tells consumers that it provides 'reviews you can trust,' and takes steps to detect and remove fraudulent positive and negative reviews. But company investment disclosures say that 'we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our reviews.' " [13]
Competition is a major concern. Competitors such as Yelp[14] offer similar reviews, with a much larger database, for free, causing concern for the future of ANGI's paid membership model. Angie's List reviews for home services are liable to be hundreds of miles away, and not local as advertised.[15]
Investors worry that the company has been in business for more than 18 years, yet never has shown an annual profit, and that valuations of the company are unrealistic based on the actual revenue the company produces.[16]
There have also been complaints that the stock has been excessively diluted by gifts of stock to business insiders, so that if the company ever did show a profit, little if any would accrue to outside investors/ stockholders.[citation needed]
According to The Washington Post, in March 2007 SCS Contracting Group sued Angie's List and two members for libel because of negative reviews of the company. One of the sued members remarked, "if [contractors are] able to sue, then the value of Angie's List depreciates.... People aren't going to be willing to submit reviews if they could be threatened with a lawsuit."[17] On 7 October 2008, the plaintiffs dismissed the complaint against the two members. Summary judgment was later granted in favor of all defendants.[18]
Angie's List estimated that its annual revenue in 2008 was $58 million, generated primarily through advertising in its newsletter and membership fees.[19] However, in 2012, 69% of Angie's List's revenue came from advertisers. [20]
Membership fees are based on volume of service providers at a given location. For example, Angie's List reported the following annual membership fees as of 4 December 2009:
In 2010, Angie's List raised a total of $25 million in capital from investors. In September 2010, Wasatch Funds and Battery Ventures invested $22 million.[21] In November 2010, Saints Capital led an additional funding of $2.5 million.[22]
On November 17, 2011, Angie's List began trading on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol ANGI. It priced 8.8M shares at $13 and opened for trading at $18, a 33% premium.[23]
However, shares have dropped below $12 as of June 24, 2014. [24]

Homemade: The Heart and Science of Handcrafts is to art and crafting what The Joy of Cooking is to baking and cooking. This book contains everything you need to know about the why and how behind the joy of gluing one thing to another.
In Homemade, you'll learn how to make bath oils, decoupage plates, assemble flower arrangements, create origami, make pop-up cards, knit or crochet sock monkeys, make wreaths, and hundreds of other things. With helpful illustrations, hints and tips, and personal stories scattered throughout this 770-page behemoth, you'll be a master crafter in no time!
This book is particularly essential if you're taking on a new crafting technique for the first time. For example, the chapter on beading includes a brief history of beading as a craft, the science behind its success as an art form, and tips on getting started with beading for the first time. Once you've read all about beading and learned about the most popular types of beads, you can pick from the list of 13 projects and create your very own beaded craft, with all the knowledge and skill of a pro beader!
It's impossible to cover everything that's in Homemade. With so many lessons, projects, crafty tips, and inspirational ideas, Homemade is a must have for craft designers who want to broaden their artistic horizons. For those who are passionate about creativity, this is the definitive illustrated encyclopedia of everything crafts.

7 Dividend Stocks You Can't Ignore Right Now
Another major firm that hiked its dividend payouts in the past week is snack and beverage giant PepsiCo (PEP). Pepsi's management announced a 4.37% increase to its payout on Wednesday, ratcheting its quarterly payout to 54 cents per share. That's a 3.2% dividend yield at PEP's current price levels.
This isn't the first time I've written about Pepsi this week -- I highlighted the stock on Wednesday as one of five stocks hedge funds hate right now. There's no two ways about it: The hedgies are dead wrong about PepsiCo right now.PepsiCo is the largest snack food company and the second-largest beverage company in the world, with brands ranging from namesake Pepsi to Lay's, Dorito's and Gatorade lining its product portfolio. That positioning makes Pepsi a critical part of consumers' grocery store shopping carts -- generating massive sales in the process. While around half of sales currently come from the U.S. right now, Pepsi still has significant opportunities for growth in emerging market countries where burgeoning middle classes are ramping up demand for soda and snack foods. Coupled with new healthy offerings, Pepsi should be able to grow its top-line at a faster clip than most other blue chips can.

Corona del Sol senior Andrew Howard was a bit weary Thursday afternoon from the rigors of being a high school student and a standout swimmer. But, no one would have known it.
No matter how he feels, when Howard swims, records can fall. Two of them did at the Tempe City Swim Meet at McClintock High School.
Howard broke meet marks in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles to lead the Corona boys to a team title with a 325 score. Second-place Desert Vista had 295. The Corona girls also held up their part, making it a complete sweep for the Aztecs, as they posted a team score of 351 to topple Desert Vista (315) in the sixteam event.
"I had a rough week," Howard said after he posted a time of 47.52 in the 100 to top the 48.30 posted by McClintock's Sam Gasowski in 1999. Howard shattered the 1990 record in the 50 set by Mountain Pointe's Chris Cafero (22.41) by swimming a 21.73. "I was just real tired from practice from school and everything. I just tried to do whatever I could."
It marked the second time this season that Howard set two meet marks in an event. He also did it in the Thunder-Wolf Invitational last month. Howard had help from teammate Nate Telep, who also captured two individual victories, winning the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:00.32 and the 500 freestyle (4:44.08). Howard and Telep each swam on the winning 400 freestyle relay team.
"I just wanted to have fun and try my best and see what happens," Telep said.
The girls had a trio of two-event winners. Corona's Erin Campbell won the 200 IM with a time of 2:13.16 and the 100 butterfly (59.94), while Mountain Pointe's Samantha Caldwell captured the 50 freestyle (25.45) and the 100 freestyle (55.47). Desert Vista's Nicole McAndrew took the 200 freestyle (1:59.85) and 500 freestyle (5:16.62). Other individual winners for the girls were Corona's Carly Rollins (1:02.82) in the 100 backstroke and Samantha Maxwell (1:08.96) in the 100 breaststroke.
Desert Vista led the boys individual winners with Darin Maxwell (1:43.70) in the 200 medley relay, Marcus Poehler (1:52.56) in the 200 freestyle, Kevin Curtis (55.48) in the 100 butterfly and Brian Richardson (56.62) in the 100 backstroke. McClintock's Jordan Spector (1:03.95 ) won the 100 breaststroke.

Information About the Area from our Experts
Public Transportation
Kathy Sutherland - Real Estate Agent
Bainbridge Island has one of the highest percentages of residents who use public transportation to commute to work every day, with 27%, or one in every four, of the population doing so. This is because in order to reach Seattle, or any other area surrounding the island, residents need to take a ferry across the Puget Sound. They can either drive their vehicle to the ferry station and bring it onto the boat, and then drive off when they reach Seattle, or just keep their car in the parking lot and walk or use public transportation when they reach the city. Either way, public transportation is a vital part of residents' commutes.
Pet Friendly
Kathy Sutherland - Real Estate Agent
Everything your pet needs to stay healthy and happy is available on Bainbridge Island. There are two public off leash properties: a beach at the Fay Bainbridge State Park and the Eagledale Park. Pet stores such as Paws & Fins and Barbi's Birdhouse have all the food and toys you need. Pet groomers like The Gentle Groomer and All Creatures Pets Grooming will keep your pet happy and clean. If you need to go away for a vacation, or go across the sound to Seattle, Animal Magnetizm or Karen's Pet Service will watch your pet for you.

year 2012 prophecy
View PDF | Print View
by: Admin
Total views: 131594
Word Count: 324
2012 has been termed as the judgment year with many prophecies predicting the end of an era. But that only means the beginning of a new era and a new kind of existence for us.
How do we know if we are aligned for that new era? And what if the future holds changes so drastic that we may not be prepared for? There are so many predictions as to how the world will move towards a more spiritually inclined era after 2012.
No one can know what will happen after 2012. For now, we only know that very few people know the nuances of spiritualism and most of the population is ignorant. But we do have a common understanding, a common opinion; that something in this world is not right.
Why do we think something is wrong? Because our perceptions are distorted by dualism. Dualism is a spiritual term that has been widely misunderstood.
Dualism is a term that means the observer and the observed, which leads to two entities. It refers to there being a 'me' and what is not part of that 'me'.
The distorted perception of the world is cleared when the person reaches enlightenment. Then there is a sudden and radical wake from the dualistic vision and this lets them see the world as it really is; non dual.
To get to the non dual mode is a long time process. It may take years or even lifetimes. But the experience is totally worth the effort. When you reach the non dual stage, the conscious mind is not influenced by the egoistic mind that one normally possesses forming 'I', 'me' and 'mine' impressions.
Will 2012 waken our non dual side? Will we stop being influenced by our dualistic self and start seeing things differently? It remains to be seen.

Points of View #5
Unusual Insights into the Picture Gallery
In 2012 the Picture Gallery began a new series of small exhibitions entitled "Points of View". Each showcases an unusual painting in the Picture Gallery that is rarely displayed for lack of hanging space, or that has been the focus of recent research.
"Point of View #5" focuses on Bernardino Licinio's Portrait of the Venetian Nobleman Ottaviano Grimani and takes a closer look at aristocratic entertainments in 16th century Venice: to celebrate the founding of the Compagnia della Calza dei Sempiterni – the "Society of the Stocking" – the young nobleman had himself portrayed in 1641 wearing sumptuous attire.
