Hi Pete,
I have rather a large problem with my bed and wonder if you can give me some advice.
I purchased a Gainsborough Mattress, pocket sprung with 1350 springs, filled with wool, silk and cotton in a medium tension last year as I was suffering from terrible low back pain and neck pain from my old Relyon mattress which was about 12 years old. (I had also just had a baby so I think this had also affected my back)
After 3 months of using this mattress I was in much worse pain than before and the mattress seemed to have softened up so much within the first few weeks so I put it down to now being too soft and not giving me enough back support. Fortunately the retailer I bought it from was great and sold me a much firmer mattress at cost price, so I was very lucky! However instead of me purchasing the next scale up in firmness I went another level further and bought the same make of mattress but in 2 tensions firmer called an orthopaedic mattress. This mattress also has some different fillings cotton, polyester and wool and is 1250 springs instead of 1350.
I am still suffering with awful low back pain and actually now wake up in more pain again than I did before!! And now have a horrible feeling I may have gone too far with the firmness as I am only eight stone and my partner is 14 stone and I know this has a lot to do with the tension you should choose. I have tried various toppers to try to soften the mattress but nothing seems to work and I am now faced with the fact that maybe I should have not gone so far with firmness.
I wonder if you could tell me whether the fillings of a mattress can have a lot to do with the support a mattress gives and whether this could be a reason as to why the mattress still gives me so much grief.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Thanks, Pete

6 "Healthy" Foods To Skip
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, April 1, 2013
These foods all sound healthy, but don't be fooled — they may not be as healthy as they seem.
Ground Turkey
Don't be duped into choosing "ground turkey" as a leaner alternative to ground beef. The truly leaner choice is ground turkey breast – that'll save you more than 100 calories and 15 grams of fat per 4-ounce serving compared to ground turkey which contains more dark meat and skin.
Pick up some turkey breast and try these 5-ingedient turkey burgers.
Banana Chips
Sorry folks, these babies aren't just dried up banana slices, they're fried, just like potato chips. A half-cup serving has almost 200 calories and 10 grams of fat! The good news is, you can make your own and forgo all the grease.
Fish, rice and seaweed won't get you into too much trouble, but when your favorite roll is stuffed with fried fillings and creamy sauces the calories can soar. Pay attention to the ingredients so you don't pile on the pounds. Dip lightly in the soy sauce, one tablespoon has nearly 40% of the daily recommendation for sodium.
Find out how to order healthy sushi.
Bottled Teas
They may seem like a smarter choice but these bottled beverages can contain as much as 6 teaspoons of sugar per cup (and most bottles are double that volume). All those sugary calories leads to bulging waistlines and may also increase risk of diseases like diabetes and cancer. A recent report indicates that as many as 25,000 deaths annually may be attributed to excess intake of sugary drinks. Stick to flavored waters and seltzers instead.
High-Fiber Bars
Packed with sugar and faux fibers, don't let the healthy-sounding brand names trick you. Check ingredient labels and choose bars made with minimally-processed ingredients like whole grains, nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
Breakfast Cereals Made With "Real Fruit"
Seems like every brand of breakfast cereal is touting the presence of "real fruit" inside the box. Dried bits of sweetened and red and blue-dyed clusters shouldn't be confused for the real thing. This investigation from NBC News explains.

Is there anything better than fully sanctioned snooping? Why, yes. Fully sanctioned snooping in the homes of the world's most stylish and influential people (including, ahem, our very own Simon Doonan). Thanks to The Coveteur, the blog of designer Erin Kleinberg and stylist Stephanie Mark, we can do just that without having to leave our own very cozy homes.
Featuring artfully arranged tableaus—often in highly covetable closets—Erin and Stephanie, along with photographer Jake Rosenberg, capture small slices of life that charm and inspire. Recently the ladies spilled all to The Window, including what they're coveting, whose style they admire and how they learned to embrace the technicolor dreamcoat.
What inspired you to start The Coveteur?
The Coveteur was conceived after seeing the film "The Social Network." After a brief brunch date, the ideas were buzzing, and it took off from there. The name comes from the words "covet" and "voyeur." In today's day and age, everyone is a voyeur. We always want to see what's happening behind the scenes and beneath the surface to find out what culminates one's style. We wanted to deconstruct the idea and craze of street style and take it one step further—right back to the place where it all begins: the holy closet.
How have your backgrounds in style and design impacted your creative process?
Both of us have an extensive background as editors, so the transition was really smooth. Stephanie had been styling at ELLE with Kate Lanphear and then moved on to work with stylists Leslie Fremar and Annabel Tollman, as well as a slew of Hollywood clients. She also managed models like Agyness Deyn at Women Management. Before launching her eponymous clothing line, Erin assisted W magazine's fashion director, Alex White. Putting all of these experiences together is what allows us to create such a clear and unique process. We have so many different areas from which to draw, from designing to styling to marketing. Styling is a creative process that isn't just about the clothes—it's the environment, the vibe, the art direction.
Whose closet would you love to raid?
Currently, the Clarins sisters. They just feel so fresh right now.
What are your fashion rules to live by?
1) Undergarments are everything. You can't build on anything without a good, solid foundation!
2) Follow your heart, not the trends. If you're still into harem pants and exaggerated shoulders, but the runways have since moved on… go for it.
3) Black is black. Enough said.
4) A little color never killed anyone. Okay, so we were (keyword: were!) self-confessed B-on-B chicks for a while, but we've learned to embrace the technicolor dreamcoat. Could be the influence and our undying love for Proenza that turned us on to the rainbow spectrum, but we've never looked back since.
5) Extremes are better: Go minimal or pile it on.
Had to add a special 6) When in doubt, ask yourself WWDD? (What Would Doonan Do?)
What are the most coveted items in your closets at the moment?
Jennifer Fisher just made us custom "COVETEUR" necklaces that we wear religiously.
Who are your favorite fashion photographers?
Nick Knight, Camilla Akrans, Craig McDean, Garance Doré. They've each captured a generation of iconic faces and moments in fashion that really resonates with us and provides infinite inspiration for our daily work.
If you were accidentally locked in Barneys New York overnight, what would we find you wearing in the morning?
The funny thing is, we could totally see this happening. Our first stop: jewels, bags and shoes to get inspired. After scouring the Proenza Schouler handbag selection, we would head straight to the shoe department—Isabel Marant, Givenchy, Alexander Wang, the usuals. Our problem is that we tend to leave the clothing for the end so by the time we reach the fitting rooms, we're left with only minutes 'til closing. So amidst the chaos of layering on Phillip Lim and Lanvin, the doors of Barneys probably would have closed without us realizing it, which is totally fine by us! Following this sartorial shopping spree, we'd head to Fred's to whip up a midnight snack of an über-early brunch (bacon & eggs, naturally). Post food-coma, we'd crawl back to the shoe department and curl up next to the Miu Mius.

I love all of you. As a display of my affection, please watch this brand new Rock TV.
This was one of those videos that I didn't feel particularly confident in until fairly late in the process. Throughout the writing stage it seemed a bit scattered to me, and when we shot it, I remember feeling like we were fighting for laughs. However, it was always clear the the other people on the team were really behind it, and the early feedback we got was positive. Once we were editing, the video seemed to gel and I could relax knowing that the laughs were there. My instincts were further proved wrong when it went over very well at the Rock on Friday. Much credit for that should go to Ted for the hunter scenes he carried. Just really funny stuff, in my opinion.
The concept was pitched by Thom and Ted, and if I remember correctly, it originally had a lot more to do with the geek/nerd differentiation that we kinda breeze through in the final version of the video. We shot a whole segment about the public confusion between geeks and nerds, with a bunch of fun pedestrian interviews that may never see the light of day.
Favorite bits of this video for me:
-grabbing the National Geographic theme from an old junior high geography video
-Leroy's "World of Warcraft" bit, which was improvised
-Ted "feeding" Leroy at the end
This version of the video is slightly different than the one that played at the Rock. It has an extra 15 second scene that we liked, but we cut for time considerations.

The Virtual Haircut That Could Change the World
- |

- Permalink
On or about the 14th of February, 2013, the hair on Little Printers' faces began to grow.
Stick with us. This is about the future of the Internet of Things.
Little Printer is a creation of BERG, a design consultancy based in London. Little Printer is a connected appliance. It sits in your home and prints off a personalized tiny daily newspaper on receipt paper. To power the thing, BERG created BERG Cloud. "BERG Cloud is our operating system for connected products, with Little Printer as the first product," says BERG CEO Matt Webb.
Here's how Little Printer works. You connect it up to your network. Using a smartphone app, you sign up for a variety of tiny publications, ranging from a daily puzzle to a short story, from the latest headlines to tips on taking better smartphone pictures. Every day, BERG Cloud assembles your personalized newspaper and sends it to the Little Printer, which prints it off at the touch of a button.
Frivolous Applications of Big Ideas
If you are having trouble understanding why you'd want one of these in your home, you are not alone. Venture Beat thinks the Little Printer must fail for the crime of being a wasteful novelty. The Verge reviewed it, saying it was more like a piece of art than a useful gadget.
Little Printer is a niche product. There are only about 1,000 in the world right now, and BERG is gearing up for a second production run which will start at 5,000 units. These are not mass-market numbers, and Webb is fine with that. Five thousand is a victory. "Little Printer is so unusual compared to anything else out there, it's wonderful to have enough interest and engagement to start scaling up like this."
The context in which you need to think about Little Printer is a society on the brink of almost completely wiring itself up with sensors and networks. This is the Internet of Things that a lot of people are talking about and trying to work out how to properly build. It's a world of thermostats that talk to your friends and cars that know where they've been driven. It's a world of citizen scientists, talking toys, smart fridges and drones, drones, drones.
The key to understanding Little Printer is in not assuming it's the endpoint of BERG's plans for connected devices but the beginning. Little Printer is a foothold.
Let's get back to the hair.
Little Printer has a face. It's the last thing it prints whenever it prints. When you tear off the rest of the publication, the face remains, smiling contentedly most of the time. There are four faces to choose from. Each one brings with it a slightly different personality and each one has a different haircut.
On Valentine's Day, their hair started growing. Now, when you run your printer, the face that shows up at the end will have slightly longer hair that will continue to grow. If you don't like how long it's getting, you have the option of changing it. "This is our first interactive story — the hair grows over time, and there's a button in [the Remote app] to give Little Printer a haircut. Very simple!" says Webb. "It's a good way for us to learn what the right balance is between autonomous behavior and user control."
Designing for the Internet of Things
Socially and technically, we're only just beginning to wrap our heads around what it means to have a planet full of networked things.
The Internet used to be a place that you'd visit. You'd go to a computer lab or your desktop, and literally plug it into a wall, and perform a strange ritual to link in to the network. Then you'd disconnect and leave and go do other things. That system enabled the rise of industry-reshaping forces like Napster, Google, Microsoft, and AOL.
In time, wireless networks and mobile computing turned the Internet into something we carried with us. It is in the context of always-connected pocket devices that things like Foursquare, Yelp, Instagram, Twitter, and Maps come into their own.
BERG is interested in what comes next.
"The web getting inside physical things is the 21st-century equivalent of electrification, which swept the world in the late 1800s," says Webb. "We're seeing just the start of it with Amazon Kindle, which puts the point of sale at the very point of consumption, and Nike+ Fuelband, which turns your running into a worldwide social activity."
"We've had a long interest in what happens when the Internet is no longer trapped behind glass: What happens when the web is physical, in our homes and social lives?" he says. "What happens when objects can act autonomously, and can act with as much intelligence as the entire web can provide?"
The answer, Webb believes, is that we might begin to interact with these things more as pets than as tools.

Your Staff
Home » About Us » The Staff
You know all about the site and the reason behind it, now it's time to learn a little more about us! Behind the scenes there are three girls working really hard to make everything work, and we couldn't be prouder of our site or our team. Here's your chance to get to know us!
I'm Dani and before I continue writing this, I wanted to make clear that my mother language is spanish,
so forgive me if they're any writing mistakes (I've only been learning english since I was 11).
So, my name is Daniela, but I prefer being called Dani, because people tend to use my full name when they're mad at me.
I was born on February 22nd, 1993, which means I'm nineteen.
I live in Chile, not to be confused Chili, the food (People have confused them, believe me. If I recall correctly,
the quote was "You live in something that goes on the food?!"). My hobbys are webdesigning, reading, playing tennis, and my personal favorite,
watching movies or tv shows. I'm the kind of girl that goes to see a movie every single Saturday.
As for Tv Shows, I can't live without How I Met Your Mother, LOST and CSI: NY (and in CSI: NY was where I first saw an
amazingly talented girl named Bailee). Animals and the environment in general are something I care about deeply.
If someone finds a bug and wants to kill them, I tell them not to. It may sounds ridiculous, but they're also living beings.
When I grow up, I want to open an Animal Care Center, to help all the homeless dogs, cats, etc.
Juli is the name. I'm a 21 year old girl from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here are some basic facts about who I am:
Spanish is my first language but I think in English sometimes. I am madly in love with my camera and my photoshop, which is why I'm studying Audiovisual Design at University. Photography and webdesign are my favorite things to do at the moment. Based on my love for books, TV Shows and, of course, movies, I've come to the conclusion that the thing I'm in fact in love with is fiction. I'm convinced it's possible to be in two places at the same time. If you are not, well..I guess you've never seen a good movie nor read a great book. Nothing could ever replace that indescriptible feeling.
I laugh A LOT, about the silliest things and in the most random moments. I'm one of the most random people I know (Dani and I go head-to-head on that one). Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, reminds me of a FRIENDS episode.
If I had a time machine, I'd take myself to the 60's and I'd go to a Beatles concert. I'd be one of those girls you see on tapes, you know..the crazy ones crying and screaming as they dance, even though I'm a terrible dancer. I named my cat 'Lennon', after John Lennon. I can't imagine the world without music. The song 'Hey Jude' by The Beatles never fails to cheer me up when I'm feeling down. I always have a song stuck in my head AND last but not least, I am still waiting for that letter from Hogwarts. I'm sure my owl is on its way.

Anyone with a recent iPhone model knows that the smartphone packs one heck of a decent camera in its tiny shell, but here's one concept design that takes smartphone photography to a whole new level.
Unfortunately, these mockups don't come direct from Apple, and the iLens concept design will likely never see a commercial release. Rather, the concept design for the iLens was created by Rishi Soman, an industrial design student from India. The concept design features all the things you'd expect from an iPhone, but with interchangeable lenses that you would normally see in an SLR camera.
In an excerpt from the Yanko Design website, Soman states that the "Dual lens system on the iLens provides you with an option to click with the 50mm prime lens on the main device. Magnetically attachable zoom and telephoto lens give you more dynamic photography options. The magnetically attachable lens sits on top of the primary device lens, which is the 50mm prime lens. The lens and the device communicate to each other via NFC Standard."

Keep Phone @ Yaninee
We petition TELSTRA to leave the Yaninee Payphone in place. We believe that the payphone service is important to the safety of our community. Should the phone only be used once a year to save a life, that life is worth the cost of a payphone service. We would like to offer the following compelling reasons, which we feel show that Telstra would be failing in the provision of its Universal Service Standard Obligation, should the payphone be removed. - There is no functional mobile communication service in Yaninee - Travellers using the Eyre highway have no emergency phone access if the payphone is removed - The payphone works during a community-wide power failure

MSU education helped Byker invent solutions that brighten our lives
Harlan Byker grew up in a family that placed a high premium on education, but he wondered if he'd ever make it through college.
As someone who learns better by studying charts and graphs than reading books, he experienced some difficulties at Calvin College and during his early years at Montana State University, where he earned his bachelor's and doctoral degrees. Byker is now a prolific inventor, who invented, among other things, the chemistry that allows rearview mirrors to automatically darken.
But the holder of 44 U.S. patents who now lives in West Olive, Mich., recalled having low expectations that he would ever achieve as much as he did. When he came to MSU, "I was just hoping that I would get through an undergraduate program."
Byker came to MSU after spending two years at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. He had always wanted to move west, and he heard that MSU had a great program in trout fishing, Byker joked. So in 1974, Byker and his wife Terri moved from southwest Michigan to southwest Montana, where he enrolled at MSU and Terri got a job in the registrar's office. Together they lived in campus housing and started raising children. Friends and fishing were good.
You can't imagine how much influence Montana State had on me. –Harlan Byker |
He was fortunate to take several classes from the professor, who encouraged him to stay in chemistry instead of switching his major to computer science, Byker said.
"But for him, I might've gone off and done something else, even though this is what I really wanted to do," he said.
Callis, still a chemistry professor, said he doesn't urge every student to stay in chemistry, but he saw something special in Byker. Even though he didn't always get the right answers, he was a creative, independent and extraordinary thinker.
"I seriously thought I saw something special," Callis said. "I remember thinking, 'Man, this guy is really, in some respects, getting bad answers, but his thought process is really exciting.'"
With Callis' encouragement, Byker graduated in 1976 with a bachelor's degree in chemistry and immediately started working on his doctoral degree in physical chemistry. During the summer of 1979, while still 24 years old, he started working at Battelle Laboratories in Columbus, Ohio. He returned to Montana that fall to defend his thesis and received his Ph.D. later that year.
While at Battelle Laboratories, Byker became the sole inventor of the chemistry behind the rearview mirror that automatically darkens when bright headlights approach from behind. More than 100 million of the mirrors with this technology are on the road today, Byker said. Gentex Corp. — the company that paid for the research at Battelle, manufactures the mirrors and owns the patents for them — is now worth more than $2 billion.
Byker, now 54, worked 12 1/2 years for Gentex and was a vice president in research and a board member. Today, he is part-owner of Pleotint LLC, a research development company in West Olive, Mich. Not one to peer too long in the rearview mirror, he said his next big goal is developing variably tinting windows for office buildings. The windows being developed by Byker's company will tint and untint automatically so occupants can enjoy sunlight without becoming overheated. Byker said the development process is as complex and unpredictable as having a baby and raising a child, but the potential is huge.
"If we are successful, we will have done something absolutely spectacular," he said.
Byker is so appreciative of MSU's role in his success so far, that he and Terri furnished the seminar room in MSU's new Chemistry and Biochemistry Building. The Harlan and Terri Byker Auditorium was dedicated in the spring.
"MSU isn't lucky. MSU deserves this," Byker said. "You can't imagine how much influence Montana State had on me."
Even before the auditorium dedication, the Bykers returned frequently to MSU. And 15 years ago, they set up an endowment to honor Callis, Dick Geer and Reed Howald. The latter two are retired from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The Geer-Howald-Callis Undergraduate Research Scholarship ranges from $1,500 to $3,100 a year and goes to chemistry majors who show curiosity and aptitude.
"Because I wasn't the straight-A student, I was more interested in somebody who had aptitude in the lab doing experiments," Byker said.
That description is true of her husband, Terri said. His success is also an outgrowth of his background. His parents believed strongly in education, and all six of their children graduated from college, Terri said. Most have advanced degrees. One brother is president of Calvin College. Another, MSU graduate Carl Byker, is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Two sisters became school teachers. Another brother "never met a business opportunity he didn't like."
"I would say that our parents were very conscientious about raising their kids and they had very high expectations," said Gaylen Byker, president of Calvin College. "They very much valued education, educational achievement and making a significant contribution to society."
In the years since Harlan graduated from MSU, he has come up with unorthodox solutions by crossing the boundaries between disciplines, Gaylen said. He added that Harlan was always very bright, but after going to MSU, he "really, really flowered."

My research focus is services management. My doctoral research was underpinned by the conceptualisation and empirical validation of the Employee Based Brand Equity (EBBE) model, which was a first with respect to exploring brand equity from an employee's perspective. My research interests continue to reside in the services management domain with a particular emphasis on the internal stakeholder's role (e.g. employee) in realising marketing strategies such as market orientation and brand management or more specifically, in the creation of competitively sustainable service experiences. My research is published in international peer reviewed journals, which include International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, Internal Journal of Hospitality Management, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Services Marketing, Journal of Brand Management, Services Marketing Quarterly and Qualitative Market Research: An International Journal.

Turning Customers into Brand Advocates
March 18, 2011
|Building a great company isn't just about making great products. It is about working to make every interaction with a customer a positive experience. From marketing emails to the in-store experience to websites to 1-800 numbers to Facebook, there are more ways than ever for customers to connect with companies. All these touch points define what customers think of a brand. For companies, they are opportunities to turn customers into brand advocates that actively spread the word about the company and its products.
One brand that is doing a great job of using online interactions to build a cadre of brand advocates is the online clothing retailer Bonobos. Beyond simply having a great website, Bonobos is using a myriad of tactics to recruit new customers and to deepen its relationship with existing ones.
- Any new customer can get $50 off their first order of $100 or more by simply sharing their email address and zip code. Further, Bonobos allows for all products to be returned at any time and pays for shipping on returns. These steps make it easy for customers to try the company's product. It also shows that Bonobos is confident in the quality of its products.
- Bonobos runs a unique referral program that encourages customers to spread the word about the company via word of mouth. Existing customers can send their friends and family $50 off coupons through the site. If your friend buys more than $100 in stuff, you get a $50 store credit. The site includes tools you can use to email friends the discounts and post links about the discounts to Facebook and Twitter.
- Bonobos customer service representatives (called "ninjas") are extremely responsive and encouraged to show actual personality. I had an order get screwed up one time, and in addition to correcting the problem right away they sent a free shirt for my trouble. Mistakes happen, and dealing with them proactively and transparently is a great way to build brand loyalty.
- The company utilizes social media very well. They have an active Facebook community and encourage employees to interact with customers through their Twitter accounts. The company frequently posts Twitter or Facebook-specific discounts as a way of incentivizing customers to follow them. They also write a blog that is much better than what you typically see from clothing companies.
- Bonobos continually runs games and contests aimed at engaging with brand advocates. Promotions have ranged from photo caption contests to product naming contests to an NCAA tournament bracket where customers compete against employees.
- The company does a great job with their email marketing. In addition to simply sending out compelling emails (see example email below), they also segment their email list based on the customers engagement with the brand. Bonobos sends out a weekly email to casual customers, while hard core brand advocates receive daily emails. This kind of list segmentation is a smart way to satisfy loyalists while not turning off casual fans with too many emails.
What Bonobos is doing is clearly working. The company reports that sales tripled in the last six months of 2010. Obviously having a good product is the most important part of Bonobos success. But Bonobos proactive efforts to identify and reward brand advocates has also been a critical contributor to the company's exponential growth.

[107] Variation in Assessment of ER and PR Expression of the Same Tumor Block with Repeated IHC Stainings by Computer Assisted Imaging Analysis and Manual Analysis
Huijiao Chen, Jianmin Wang, Loralee McMahon, Qi Yang, Hong Bu, David G Hicks, Ping Tang. University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY; RTI Health Solution, Research Triangle Park, NC; West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China
Background: The accurate assessment of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in breast cancer significantly impacts the decision of adjuvant therapy. Multiple pre-analytic, analytic and post-analytic factors have been implicated in affecting the accuracy of ER and PR assessment, which may impact patient outcome. Here, we sought to investigate the affect of repeating immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings of the same tissue block on ER and PR interpretation, comparing manual readings to computer assisted image analysis.
Design: We identified 48 cases of breast cancer with reported negative, weak, or strong staining for ER and PR from our 2009 departmental file. One representative block from each case was selected for IHC analyses for ER and PR. The IHC stainings were first scored manually with both percentage (0-100%) and intensity as (0-3). Two more IHC stainings for ER and PR were performed one week apart. Automated computer analysis with percentage (0-100%) and intensity (0-255) for ER and PR was then conducted on 10 representative tumor areas selected by a pathologist for each case. Direct comparison among three automated readings for percentage and intensity, and comparison between one automated and manual reading for ER and PR were performed for these cases.
Results: We found that 1) there were significant difference in percentage and intensity of ER and PR readings among the three different IHC stainings; 2) between any two automated readings for percentage, there was one of the six groups showing significant difference for ER (0.0028), and none for PR; 3) between automated and manual readings for percentage, there was significant difference for PR (0.0468) but not for ER (0.6848); 4) among 3 groups of automated reading for intensity, 2/3 groups showed significant difference when compared two groups at a time for ER or PR. No disagreement between automated and manual assessment case using 1% cut off for positive ER and PR as recommended by 2010 ASCO/CAP guidelines.
Conclusions: Although significant difference are present ER and PR interpretation, there is no difference in classification of ER and PR as positive or negative regardless of the different repeats of IHC stainings or the methods of assessment (automated or manual).

Layered Taco CasseroleWe didn't care for it. The cottage cheese did nothing for me or my family. Sorry. — webtexan 5/27/2012 |
Finger Lickin Good Pork ChopsThis was very tasty and the gravy was really good. I used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of cream of chicken with 1 can of milk. While its cooking it thins out but once it cools the sauce gets really thick which I love. We poured the sauce over cauliflower mmmmm. I wasn't sure what sort of chop he used, I guess with the lengthy cooking time (oven not crock pot) they are on the bone and thick. I used boneless chops about 1" thick and cooked it 1 hour, oooops yeah, it was to long, next time maybe 40 minutes (or less). But I have to say even though they were over cooked they were tender enough to eat. Hubby loved it and agreed that it needs to be cooked less. I will make this again. — 5/8/2012 |
Japanese Carrot Salad DressingI made this exactly as posted, the taste was really good but it seemed to be so dry on my salad so I added more oil and water. — 5/6/2012 |
Chicken Enchiladas with a twistI made this tonight, it was delicious even my husband who doesn't like Mexican food said he was so surprised how good it was. I did not use the broth based on other reviews. I did use cream of chicken soup, low fat cheese and I ground up the salsa because my daughter does not likes hunks of tomatoes in her food lol. I also bought a rotisserie chicken from the store to save time. I served it with Mexican rice and sour cream. I will make this again, thank you for such an easy recipe. — luvigutierrez 5/6/2012 |
Creamy Cheesy Cauliflower SoupI didn't have celery seed so I used regular celery, onions, dill and garlic. I did not add the cream cheese and used 2% milk. The cheese I used was low fat cheddar. This recipe came out wonderful. My DH asked me to make it again today. This time I am going to add fresh mushrooms at the end :) Thanks for a great soup. — webtexan 4/30/2012 |
Fiesta Chicken CasseroleThis was really tasty but it is missing something, maybe heat. Next time I am going to add some chili's. I did make it with a pie crust and it came out great. I would suggest letting it rest before cutting it....about 20 minutes or so. The only thing I did differently was the chicken, I used a rotisserie chicken (small one). Yes I would make this again :) — KaitCav 2/28/2012 |
Scalloped CauliflowerThis is wonderful, but I did tweak it a bit. Instead of cream I made a rue with butter, flour and 2% milk and grinders garlic sea salt. I also used low fat cheese and fresh cauliflower (cooked)... very very good !!! — 1MoreCreative 2/19/2012 |
Pork Tenderloin Roast with Apple, Onion and Garlic GravyMade this last week and LOVED IT !! I did put the gravy in a blender to make it smooth and creamy and OMG it came out wonderful. I am making it again tonight but will double the batch. Thanks for an awesome recipe. — 2/17/2012 |
Pork Tenderloin Roast with Apple, Onion and Garlic GravyExcellent sauce. After cooking I put the sauce in my vita mixer and blended until smooth and creamy. It was fantastic. The meat I cooked covered for 40 minutes at 425 degrees like the package said. said.said.Camout wonderful. Great sauce to make with chicken too. — 1/31/2012 |

Breaking Bad: The 5-Minute Episode Guide
Catch up on television's most heart-stopping show and the evolution of its most demented character with synopses just vague enough to be considered spoiler-free. Also: quotes.
By Matt Sullivan
AND COMING EVERY SUNDAY: The Breaking Bad Recap with Doug Fine >>
A Brief Word on Said Spoilers
If you haven't yet done the Breaking Bad binge and it is the couch binge of our time, like Lost without the histrionics and Twin Peaks without the schlock and coke without the regrets, with all the arc of The Wire and most of the panic of Hitchock you should right now. If you consider yourself out of time before Season 5 begins, this here guide might help, though not in lieu of anything, because Vince Gillian's AMC series is the odd 46 hours actually well-spent watching television, and with addiction.
If you consider yourself well-versed and still a little fuzzy it's been nine months since the face-off this here guide is a jog, a way to skip that second binge. Except the ones with the asterisks; those episodes are absolutely worth a second dose. And there's not much we could do about the imagery because, like everything Breaking Bad, it's all or nothing, and everything is everything. But let's take it one sentence at a time.

One of the main stumbling blocks people face when starting out in the business is how to find reliable sources for comps. While many investors get a license to have access to the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), it is definitely not necessary to be able to make money in the business. In this article you'll learn how to find free, accurate and reliable comps. I will also show you ways you can use to gain access to the MLS without a license.
First, it is important to know what a comp is. Real estate agents and appraisers use comparables to determine the potential value of a house. They find similar properties that have sold in recent months and come up with a pretty accurate market value. A comp is neither an appraisal nor an average of the highest sold houses.
There is a lot of confusion about this and there shouldn't be. There are reliable sources either free or paid that you should use to find accurate comps.
It's true that MLS comps is the best and most complete source for finding accurate comparables, and I encourage you to find a way to gain access to it. In the end, it is not as difficult as you may think. However, there are plenty of other free resources online that you could use, such as Zillow.com, Realtor.com
When searching for comps on Zillow, don't pay attention to the Zestimate because this evaluation is inaccurate. Search instead for "SOLD" houses that are not only close to your subject property, but that are equal in size and layout. A 1.000sqft house will always be worth less than a house measuring 1500 sqft.. Also, a Victorian style house will be priced differently to a twin, even if they share the same size.
First you have to find the style and size of the house by going to the counties website, or you could you could use Zillow's number. Since they take that number from public sources, it is likely to be accurate.
Avoid putting generic information on Zillow. Be as much specific as possible and use the filter to get the results you are looking for. The filter serves a great purpose. It saves you tons of time by only showing you the houses that fit your criteria. Remember to check ONLY the "recently sold" box as this is the main criteria we look for.
In this example, the house is a single family house, so it serves no purpose to choose any other classification other than the one we want. Zillow tells us that our house is 1.344 sqft in size which is aligned with the county assessment.
square footage should be within 150 sqft difference. e.g.
If this house is 1.344 sqft only search for properties within 150(+-) difference.
The more recent the sales the better. 3 to 6 months back in time is customary. Try not to use comps that 6 months or older . Sometimes comps can't be found in that time frame. In that case, you'll need to go further back in time. Because the current market has gotten more stable, we can go back a little farther than 6 months. Remember that every market is different and you might find markets that might be going down in value still.
We are looking for the highest sales that have ocurred within the timeframe we searched, because those are the comparables that will give you the ARV (after repair value).. Once you know the ARV, formulating the offer becomes easier.
If comps can't be found, it is always advisable to use an appraiser. They could be worth its weight in gold.
Gaining Access to The MLS
One of the ways you can gain access to the MLS is as an unlicensed assistant. Some real estate offices offer this service for a monthly fee. Go to a investor friendly real estate office and simply ask. This is where leveraging your connections will be of help. Any real estate agent could help you with this. Just ask. What do you have to lose?
Another way of gaining access to the MLS is by offering to pay the agents monthly or yearly dues. Having a good solid relationship with the agent first is crucial. Not everyone will accept this, but others will gladly do it if you send them a lot of business. You might even get away with paying anything. Make sure you do send them business in the form of refferals if this is the case.
Ok we learned how to come up with comps and we also learned ways of gaining access to the mls. If you follow one or all of these tips you will find yourself a comparable expert in no time. I hope this article help you overcome this hurtle and if you have any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment or recommendation.

Did the owners of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles trade teams?
Sports Legends Revealed: Did the owners of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles trade teams?
April 20, 2010 | 11:36 am http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/spor...rade-team.html FOOTBALL LEGEND: In 1941, the owners of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers traded franchises. STATUS: True. There quite possibly is not a single sports franchise in the United States more associated with a single family than the Pittsburgh Steelers are with the Rooney family. However, for a short bizarre period in the history of the franchise, Rooney actually sold off the team! Pittsburgh_steelers_logo When Art Rooney Sr. purchased the team in 1933 (then called the Pittsburgh Pirates, in honor of the city's popular baseball team), he thought (along with most sports observers) that the people of Pittsburgh would be enamored by their new professional football franchise, but that was not the case at first. So after a number of poor seasons by the team both on the field (they never finished higher than .500 during the 1930s) and in the stands (attendance was poor), Rooney decided to cash out on his investment. You have to also realize that it was not like Rooney was independently wealthy - he was not. A great deal (heck, the vast majority) of the financing for the Pirates during the 1930s was supplied by Rooney's gambling winnings! In 1936, Rooney won well over $100,000 betting on the races at the Saratoga Race Course, and those winnings were put right back into his team, including spending a then-absurdly high $15,000 in 1938 to sign Byron White to a professional football contract (yes, the same Byron White who would later become a Supreme Court Justice). In 1939, Rooney turned a profit, but just barely (a few thousand dollars) and with World War II looming ahead, he was understandably worried about his ability to keep the franchise afloat. So when he was offered over $160,000 for the Pittsburgh franchise in 1940 by Alexis Thompson, a young man (either in his very late 20s or very early 30s) who had inherited a large fortune from his family, Rooney decided to take the money. Philadelphia-eagles-logo Rooney used the money to purchase at least half of the ownership of the Philadelphia Eagles, then owned by Bert Bell, a close friend of Rooney's. When Thompson purchased the Pirates, his intent was to move the team to Boston, which was the closet major city to his home of New York City that did not already have a National Football League (NFL) franchise (New York had two football franchises at the time). Rooney was aware of this when he sold the team, figuring that once the Pirates were gone, the Eagles would then split their home games between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. However, Thompson was stymied by the rest of the NFL in his attempts to move the team (the League had already seen two Boston franchises come and go during the 1930s, so they felt that Boston just could not support a franchise), and meanwhile, Rooney was regretting losing his hometown team (Rooney was born and raised in Pittsburgh) and the fact that his departure meant that Pittsburgh likely WOULD lose their franchise. So in a rare example of people actually getting a "do over" in real life, the two ownership groups approached each other about essentially "trading" their franchises - Thompson would bring his entire organization (players and all) over to Philadelphia, and therefore be closer to New York than he was in Pittsburgh (heck, had he known Bell was willing to sell, he likely would have bought the Eagles from Bell to begin with) and Rooney and Bell would take their entire organization over to Pittsburgh. The deal was agreed upon, and after just one season away, Rooney was back in Pittsburgh to stay. Amusingly enough, when he purchased his stake in the Eagles, Rooney and Bell organized their corporation as the "Philadelphia Football Club, Inc." so ever after the trade, their corporate name remained under that name while in Pittsburgh for a few years until they finally changed it in 1945. In their first season back in Pittsburgh, Rooney and Bell renamed the team the Steelers, and in their second year back, the Steelers ended the 1942 season 7-4, the first winning season in franchise history! The familiarity between the two franchises came into play the following season, when the Eagles and the Steelers actually MERGED their franchises together for a season (a bizarre story I detailed here). In 1946, Bell sold off his shares in the Eagles when he became Commissioner of the NFL. Rooney convinced his brother-in-law to buy Bell's shares, and ever since that day, the Rooney family has had a controlling interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Interestingly enough, over the years, Rooney had plenty of opportunities to sell the team (especially when the team languished during the 1950s), but he always remembered that first sale and made sure to keep the Steelers in Pittsburgh, where they eventually became the cultural institution that Rooney expected them to become all the way back in 1933, with the record for the most Super Bowl victories in NFL history and the Rooney family has been around for all of that history. -- Brian Cronin |

InfoQ Article: Using SEDA to Ensure Service Availability
SEDA is a new strategy for incorporating event driven architecture for scalability and availability of services in the context of SOA. These strategies are based on queuing research pioneered for the use of highly abailable and scalable services, initially in the Web context, but moving into the SOA and Web services context. This article describes SEDA with an implementation using Mule.
ESB Technology Goes Open Source
Backed by Hummer Winblad and Morgenthaler ventures to the tune of $4M dollars, CEO Dave Rosenberg and Mule ESB Open Source Leader Ross Mason are ready to take on the biggest ESB players with their Open Source ESB strategy. But not only are other ESB companies waiting, but the field is already crowded with other Open Source options.
Mule ESB 1.3 Released - Adds XFire and Spring Remoting Support
MuleSource, the company founded earlier this year to provide support and services to Mule users, has released Mule 1.3 today. Mule is the most commonly used open-source Enterprise Service Bus, with over 200,000 downloads. The new version improves performance and adds support for XFire and Spring Remoting.
Event Driven Architecture
Event Driven Architecture (EDA) is a term promoted by Gartner to describe an evolved state of Enterprise software characterized by real time events. EDA has been associated to its detriment with SOA 2.0, however, there may be technical legitimacy to some of the EDA ideas.
