Building Community While Managing Properties
If you ever lived in an apartment, you know it is rare to know your neighbors much less invite them to your parties. Property Solutions is a property management software provider that includes resident services that can create a sense of community within a building. Property management software generally offers several capabilities, but building a sense of community is generally not one of them. Roommate matching with Entrata Core helps student-housing communities match residents with compatible roommates, and also their ResidentPortal website provides a platform for neighbors to share community events, clubs and announcements. Property managers often experience higher resident retention when residents have a sense of community. We spoke to Chase Harrington from Property Solutions to learn more.
APM: Hi Chase, it would be great if you could describe your product overall.
Chase: Certainly, Property Solutions currently has 22 features. We cover everything from online payments and insurance to utility billing. You name it, and we have a product for it. That is the biggest difference between us and other property management software. All of our products are built on a single platform. We are different than most of our competitors, because we built everything. For example, our revenue management system is built from the ground up and is inside our system. When you log into our system, Entrata, all of your products and services are in one place. With our competitors, you need to log into multiple software platforms.
APM: It is certainly helpful for a property manager to be able to access one system over needing multiple login names and passwords.
Chase: Yes, and in addition to being a platform service provider, we offer the ability for third parties to integrate freely within our system. Property managers can still log in to one place and access the other services integrated inside of it. For example, if you're using somebody else for insurance or utility billing, all of the information can be accessed from our interface for free. We don't charge the property management companies or the vendors, which is a radically different approach.
APM: Can you go into a little bit more detail about features that you offer?
Chase: The first feature is Entrata Core, full property management software which provides front- end resident management integrated with back-end accounting and purchasing. There's an entire student- housing module that includes a move-in checklist, a make-ready board, unit assignments and roommate matching. It also entails a full facilities piece, where you have all of your work order management and a make-ready board. The make ready boards are digital so you can see the turn of units in real-time.
Our marketing feature, ProspectPortal websites have everything prospective residents need when looking to lease at your apartment community. With real- time availability you can access guest cards, applications, pictures and images, basically anything with an online presence.
The ILOS portal is an online apartment listing syndication service. We are able to take your current unit pricing and syndicate it out to the internet listing services property managers utilize to make sure information is consistent across all listing sites. For example, property managers see the same price on apartments.com and rent.com that appears on their private website.
APM: I was looking at your website and thought the student features would be helpful for someone like myself. I like the ability to find roommates and manage day-to-day affairs.
Chase: Yes, it's very simple and a great interface. It shows you the property digitally, so you can see virtual diagrams of the community, and then you can drag and drop people to the rooms. It tells you who would best match with that individual, how to pre-lease and how many open areas are available. It's great.
APM: I can see how property managers would benefit from something like this as well. For example, when property managers are dealing with a tenant who needs to sub-lease, this would be a really great tool for them to help their residents to find the ideal fit. Please continue telling us more about the features.
Chase: We do full SEO and PPC services for our websites. We can also automate and manage campaigns. Pricing Portal, our revenue management software, is able to price all of a property manager's units according to current market values.
We have a SiteTablet leasing app to make all of our services available on a tablet. Leasing agents have all of these tools at their fingertips on an iPad or any other tablet, if they're walking around the community. Their prospects could fill out an application or sign their lease with a finger. Property managers can also show availability, collect a guest card, pictures and videos.
LeaseExecution is a full online lease execution tool. Applicants fill out the application, integrate the lease, and then they can sign it online. Like I said, they can even sign it on a tablet or other device.
LeadManager offers full lead management. It schedules follow ups, handles communication and conversion ratios.
Leasing Center is our full service call center. Leasing Center can answer your rollover calls, after hour calls, maintenance calls and helps lease the units. It's more than an answering service and has all the information about the property. It can help lease the property, collect the applications and help with the lease-signing process.
ResidentVerify is a full tenant screening service. Seamlessly built-in to our application process, we can automatically screen the resident's full credit background, eviction and criminal history.
Another feature is ResidentPortal. Residents can log in to make online payments and submit maintenance requests. There is even a social aspect to Resident Portal.
APM: Can you please elaborate on the social aspect?
Chase: Residents can have roommates, create clubs, hold events and communicate with other residents within the community using the Resident Portal.
APM: I have never heard of a feature like that. That's a really great way to connect people especially since most residents do not know anyone else in their apartment building.
Chase: Yeah, residents could log in and create a book club. Then other residents can go in and see that there's a book club. They can see when neighbors are going to have events. Residents can post notices for parties like, "Hey, I'm going to have a Super Bowl party, anybody's welcome to come." This creates the social aspect.
APM: That is a fantastic feature. That's probably the first I've seen of something like this, where you can connect people that way.
Chase: Yeah, we see better resident retention by doing that. As residents become more connected and engaged within the community, your retention rates increase.
APM: Yeah, that makes sense, and it probably takes a lot of the stressful aspects of property management away from property managers and landlords.
Chase: Right.
APM: Ok, the next feature is ResidentPay.
Chase: ResidentPay is the online payment system. Residents can make payments in real time using a credit/debit card, e-check or money order. It really simplifies making payments for residents. Property managers can see their ledgers, see what tenants owe and how much they need to pay and set up recurring payments.
ResidentUtility is a utility billing solution. Utility bills are split according the property. All of their utilities and these charges are placed onto one bill, provided digitally or we can mail out a paper copy.
Let's see, we also offer ResidentInsure, it's our renters insurance program for both liability and contents coverage. Residents can buy the insurance for an extremely affordable price. It's built right into the application and lease signing process. The application asks potential tenants if they have insurance, if they don't, it provides them a quote for a policy right there, and they literally can buy the policy with one click and it's simple for them.
Message Center is a mass communication tool that gives property managers the ability to communicate with all of their prospects, residents, and even employees. You can send out messages via text, phone or email. For example, every morning at eight am, you can send out a Happy Birthday greeting to everyone who has a birthday.
APM: I really love how personal this software is, especially the ability to connect with your employees, and remembering important events in their lives. Connecting residents and building a community is really a unique part of what your software has to offer.
Chase: Yeah, it definitely is a unique aspect. And the great thing about the Message Center is that is goes one step in automation, with an actual trigger that knows whose birthday it is and will send an email. It's not like you have to go and find out when everyone's birthday is in what month, create a list, and then send the message. You set the triggers and it sends the message. Or if they're moving out in 10 days, you can set up a message to be sent with final move-out instructions.
APM: Great, if you were to talk to your top three customers, how do you think they would describe the product?
Chase: One of the biggest things we always hear is how intuitive it is. We put a heavy emphasis on our user interface. Software can be the best product out there, but if users don't know how to use it, it doesn't do them any good. The systems also take everything a step further. It connects all the dots. For example, you mentioned the community events and announcements in Resident Portal. It's not the traditional resident portal, right? It's taking that next step to help connect residents together and provide a sense of community. The Message Center is not just a mass emailing system; it helps provide detailed messages at the exact time of need with residents.
APM: Is there anything else that you want your customers to know?
Chase: The two other pieces we didn't cover here are, ParcelAlert and Lobby Display. ParselAlert is a full tracking system. As the package arrives, you scan it and the system automatically texts and emails the residents notifying them to pick up their packages.
APM: Oh wow, I really like how you're connecting all these different aspects of a unit, or a building. That's a big deal.
Chase: It is. We have twenty-two products, but really when you get into our system, it's one big product. All of these are features are part of one product. With our competitors, it is physical separate products.
Entrada is capable of doing all of these items, and you can turn on whatever capabilities you want. Where everyone else in this space is focused on one product, and then has to integrate or connect to other products to achieve full feature functionality.
APM: OK. Is there anything else you'd like your customers to know?
Chase: We're extremely dedicated to our customer support. We have customer support via live chat, phone and email. It's built right into the system. Any time you're signed into the system, you can click on the live chat button and we can assist you. We provide great training materials and we receive rave reviews on our manuals. There are training documents, videos, and a program we call simulations. This teaches you how to generate leases. You click on the screens and it walks you through the process and you get that tactile learning experience. We hear really great reviews with that training support system.
Property Solutions is a property management software provider that offers 22 features. Property managers can use this platform to effectively manage all aspects of their day-to-day affairs. Property Solutions goes a step further from most traditional providers by helping residents build relationships with one another, and property managers to build better relationships within their office.
Measure Twice or Take One Picture – Find Furniture That Fits
We have all been there spending weeks or months trying to find the perfect home. Then, we finally get the keys and when move in day happens, we could not be more excited. You buy new furniture, look for great deals online and start dreaming of what your home will look like. Then the furniture arrives, and you try to move it and realize nothing fits. What if there was an app that allows you to take pictures of your place and see the dimensions? With Big Blue Pixel, you can see the dimensions inside your home and make sure everything fits perfectly. Big Blue Pixel is an app that lets you take pictures with your phone and then see and share the dimensions. We spoke with Zsanett Balla, from Big Blue Pixel, to learn more.
APM: This seems like a great app for tenants looking to move in but you also mentioned how this can benefit property managers. Would you mind going into more detail?
Zsanett: No problem. A hands‑on property manager, who goes and checks when a tenant complains about something, can go to the apartment, take a photo, get the measurements of say a window that is cracked. Property managers can automatically send this to their contractor. It's always on the spot and it looks great for professionals.
APM: Can you go into more detail about the photo versions process?
Zsanett: You take a photo, you get the measurements, and then you can share via email or you can sync it to Dropbox with another device. You can send it via PDF or JPEG, so you have those different options. A lot of our customers say that they love it. Contractors for example, can go to an estimate and send photos back to the office. The office can then work on the estimate or start working on the project immediately.
APM: I haven't seen a lot of products like this. What do you think makes your product stand out? Do you know if there are a lot of products available that do the same thing?
Zsanett: What we focus on, besides the user interface being friendly and easy- to- use, is reliability. I know that some of our competitors receive cases where people lost their measurements, files, or their folders. That doesn't happen with us. When we release a new version, we're very structured and we make sure that we don't lose anything. We do a lot of tests and our customers are very happy with that. They know that if they took a picture or took a measurement two years ago, and they want to access it today, it's there ‑‑ they don't have to worry about it. The app doesn't crash, and it's really easy to use.
APM: If we were to talk to your top three customers, how do you think they would describe the product?
Zsanett: The most common thing we hear is how easy it is to use and how practical it is. It's always there with you ‑‑ you always have your phone on you. Whenever someone asks a question or you're wondering about something, you have the measurements, you have that note you took. Say you take a picture of a wall and you remembered to write down that it was XYZ color, or Benjamin Moore OC10, but then you don't remember whether it was glossy or not, the app remembers this information for you. It's these little details in combination with the picture, notes, and measurements that makes this app insanely practical.
APM: Do you have a memorable moment with a customer when you spoke with one of them regarding the product?
Zsanett: Oh yeah, one of the first guys who contacted us was for signage. You know when you have those cars that you put stencils on them? A lot of our users make signage. It's a very good app for that purpose, and we didn't even know. When we started the app, we were really focusing on properties and real estate agents, architects, and signers. This guy contacted us and he went on and on about how great the product is. He came up with amazing ideas that we haven't thought about. We really like feedback. For instance, he was saying how the PDF was very important for him. A month later we released a PDF version as a result of our conversations with him. You feel satisfied that your product is making someone's life easier.
APM: Right. Is there anything else you want your customers to know?
Zsanett: Yes, that we're here for them and if they have any improvement ideas, please feel free
to contact us. That's how we make the app better, so contact us, and enjoy the app.
To Sum It Up!
Big Blue Pixel is an app that takes pictures of a room and provides the measurements for the room. Property managers can quickly assess what fixtures need to be changed. For example, if a window is broken, property managers can take a picture and send the measurements directly to contractors. Big Blue Pixel will keep the information on file or allow you to upload to Dropbox, accessing measurements has never been easier.

Create beautiful floor plans with a fun and easy- to- use app
Renovating a home can be both an exciting and exhausting process. Property owners go through numerous floor plans, but are often clueless on how to read the floor plans. Floorplanner is an app that makes floor planning easy. Property owners can use the app and work with their architects to understand the big picture and the small details of their floor plan, and feel like they are a part of the process in their home design. We spoke with Jeroen Bekkers from Floorplanner to learn more.
APM: Would you mind describing Floorplanner in more detail?
Jeroen: Yes, the idea is very simple. I'm an architect myself and we all have a background from the building industry. We were creating custom software for big building projects for quite some time and we were always missing easy, good‑looking floor plans. They were always created with CAD programs that were difficult to produce. They looked like black and white drawings and they were not very user‑friendly. Only those with an architectural background or a real estate background could understand the complexity of these floor plans. But for an average user, or an average homeowner, it's pretty difficult to understand and grasp the scale by just viewing the floor plan. We thought we should make a way for floor plans to be easier to read and understand.
That's why we started Floorplanner as an online tool to create floor plans easily. For example, you can place furniture in the floor plans to get an exact idea of scale. We launched it in 2007, and we saw several people using the app, and enjoying their overall experience with it. We did not really need to advertise either. We now have over 10 million users worldwide and over 10,000 per-day sign up for our tool. We see homeowners, people who are moving, real estate agents and property developers all using our app. Our tool is free to use for one person, for one house. But if you want to use it professionally for multiple homes and want to put your own logo in, then you pay us a small fee for having that premium service.
APM: It's nice to hear that a homeowner can be a little more hands‑on and understand the details and changes in their own home. Can you talk a little bit more of some of the features you offer?
Jeroen: We have a very simple 2D drawing too that does not require any software to be installed. No plug‑in is needed, and it works with all browsers to create the floor plans. We have a real-time 3D view. So you can see your plans and turn them around. You see them, almost like a dollhouse, like a model. We have the option to place furniture and decorate the floor plans with a library of about 5,000 2D and 3D objects. We also offer premium features that include: inserting your own logo, exporting scales, using your drawings on scaled PDFs and creating high resolution, better looking 3D views from your plan. Traditionally, all this costs a lot of money to produce. With our tool you receive one free trial to create the floor plan, and from there you can pay for the Pro- account.
APM: Are there other apps like this? What makes you stand out from your competition?
Jeroen: There are other apps like us, yes. We see ourselves somewhere between AutoCAD, and "Sims." It's fun to use, but it still produces technically relevant drawings. There are other tools like us, but we are the largest online floor planning tool out there. I think we have the largest network of service providers by far. We have our own API. Our technical infrastructure is much larger than any of the online competitors.
APM: Can you talk about some of the customer feedback you've received, some of the things that customers say about the product?
Jeroen: On the most basic level, people say they feel empowered when they use it. They say "Oh wow! I can do this in a couple of minutes?" They love playing around with the 3D. The feedback we receive the most is that it is "fun to play around with" and is "addictive". Once users create their plans, they will spend evenings, alone or together, making nice decorations. Real estate agents say it's "cheaper and faster than previous options". We see a lot of real estate agents making the plans themselves on our website, or in combination with a tool like Magic Plan which works on the iPhone. They can capture a house on location and send it to Floorplanner so they can make a full 3D floor plan pictures with their phone. Real estate agents appreciate it a lot because it provides flat drawings that are more detailed, at a substantially lower cost than before. These agents were paying big money for floor plans before they found us.
Interviewer: Great, is there anything else you'd like your customers to know?
Jeroen: Yes, we now have a companion product, called Roomstyler, which allows you to create a room plan with Floorplanner. From there you can decorate the room. You can make realistic interior designs and decorate it with objects from our library with over 150,000 real‑life objects, make interior designs, virtual stagings, all from your web browser. It is very interesting. We see this being used more and more, especially in European territories, where there are a lot of floor plans already created with our software. I think virtual stagings are a next big thing.
To Sum It Up!
Floorplanner is an app that allows anyone, no matter what their experience is, to have input in the design process of a home. Home owners can use the app to work with architects and real estate agents to better understand the floor plan and have fun during the process!

TheraPro 100% Pure Essential Oils
Aromatherapy combines the emotional and physiological properties of gentle massage with the medicinal mood enhancing properties of essential oils. It alleviates stress and can energize your spirit. Aromatherapy has also been known to stimulate the immune system and relieve sinus pressure. Aromatherapy is popular for both massage as well as spa applications. Whether added to a lubricant, or inhaled using a diffuser, the benefits are many, while the expense is minimal. Our TheraPro Essential Oils are carefully selected from around the world and packaged in glass containers. Available in 10 ml bottles. Prices vary.
I really like this brands sent. Will re order again.
The Essential Oils are a very good quality product.
Disappointed in this oil quality. Decided to try it because of the price and sell in my office. I won't be selling this product.
I ordered about 10 essential oils and love them all. Have not used one and not been satisfied, they are all great love the brand.
My initial reaction to inhaling the lime was, "Ugh!" The initial smell was of turpentine than of lime. One might think smell is personal and science proves that out, however, in this case, that reasoning does not apply. Why? Because I have years, many years of working with European aromatherapy single note essential oils and my olfactory nerve, my nose, knows what LIME should smell like. I ordered several Thera Pro single notes and opened the lime first. I want to return all the Thera Pro single notes I ordered. This is NOT what aromatherapy is supposed to smell like. Take this from an experienced user.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

Interpretation of one space in many ways is one of my favourite things. You might remember we recently shared Relaxed Summer Wedding Ideas a few months ago. Well today we're back at the same venue – Watson's Bay Boutique Hotel again with the same photographer, Milque Photography & Films but a completely different look thanks
These gorgeous hand painted cake toppers from The First Snow caught my eye this week! What a pretty finishing touch to your wedding cake – a custom painted banner to pop into your cake? Designer Darah hand paints your names onto the topper before converting it to a digital file and printing the design on
I don't know abut you, but I like nothing more than sticking my head into a fun stationery shop as I'm passing by to find yet another sweet notebook (my current favourite is black with copper polka dots) or sweet treats to add to my office. So it makes sense that much loved stationery store

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Colleen!

- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Colleen's Info...

Colleen Female DSH She is a very sensitive girl. She came from a bad place and needs a loving home where she feels safe and loved. She like to have a stuffed animal with her to halp her feel secure. When she feels safe and loved she becomes a little love bug. If you like to give this sweet girl a loving forever home email email@example.com.
Other Pets at Kiss for Kittens
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Colleen, a Simpsonville Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Simpsonville, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in Simpsonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Simpsonville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Simpsonville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Simpsonville paves the way for another one to be saved.

GONDIA: In a joint operation, the special squad of Gondia Police and Amgaon police nabbed a quack red-handed while he was aborting a maiden in a field near Banjaritola village in Amgaon on Saturday.
The special squad under PSI Ulhas Kadam was tracking Vyankat Gautam's (42) every move after being tipped off that he was involved in illegal abortion of maidens as well as married women with unwanted pregnancy. At 10.30pm on Saturday he was seen heading towards an isolated field along with a woman and a few youths. After reaching there Gautam gave the woman three tablets of AP Fort and asked her to lie down on a bed sheet in the open field. He was nabbed just before he was giving her some injection. However, the three youths fled, taking advantage of the darkness. All medicines and kit required for abortions were confiscated.
An offence was registered against Gautam, the woman and the three youths. The 20-year-old woman was sent to the government hospital for further treatment.
The three youths Vyankatrai Rai (20), Irfan Khan Pathan (22) and Shivkumar Ganvir (20) - all residents of Risama (Amgaon) - were also arrested on Sunday. They were presented before the Amgaon magistrate who sent them to police custody remand till Tuesday. PI Prasad Pandey of Amgaon is investigating the case.

So many people including those who carry as part of their daily routine do not take the time to properly learn the manual of arms for their weapon. Redundency and repetiton are required. They take the concealed course and never really take the time to properly aquent themselves with their weapon after that. My department has had officers ND Glocks because they cleared the round from the chamber and had not taken the magazine out of the weapon so they closed the slide put another round in the chamber, removed the magazine and then pulled the trigger to take the weapon down discharging the chambered round. That is why we now have such an elaberate administrative unload/reload as policy. So many LEO's only have contact with their weapons during annual qualification and do not take the time to get to know their firearm because they have the mentality that is all they need to do. These are the same one's that do not carry off duty because they believe trouble happens to others but not to them.
The Glock is a very simple manual of arms however redundency and repition are still required to learn it so that it becomes second nature. My opinion . My rant.
"Violence is seldom the answer, but when it is the answer it is the only answer".
"A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves".
From the news article - Quote from the Sheriff's department:
NO. NO. NO. He shot the gun. It didn't just discharge.He removed the semiautomatic handgun from his waistband and while removing the magazine or clearing the round from the chamber, "the firearm discharged, striking him in the leg."
I absolutely hate it when people, especially those who should know better like a Sheriff, use this phrase. It perpetuates the belief in people that are ignorant of guns and how they function that they just "go off" and are dangerous to even be around.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
- Mike Tyson
Even if he had been nervous, WHY was he pointing the firearm at his leg when he pulled the trigger.
I stand by my original thought. Either through inexperience or over confidence he was rushing through what should be a careful and considered operation even at the best of times and situations.
Remember the Four Rules! How many did he break? How many do each of us break because we KNOW it isn't loaded. It happens to everyone from time to time. You give yourself a mental slap to the head and endeavor to do better.
This unfortunate fellow got the harder reminder.
If you have never broken your gun or bled on your gun in training, you're doing it wrong!
Train hard, live easy.
One reason I do not load and unload my guns. I load them and they stay that way from then on (unless I go to the range and have to re-load with SD rounds afterwards). They go in the safe loaded, come out loaded, and go into a holster loaded and do not leave the holster unless there is a need (such as changing carry pieces and putting it back in the safe). I figure the less handling the less chances of an ND. Knock on wood, I've never had one and hope to keep it that way. It can happen to anyone and time will tell, but there's no sense in doing things to increase the odds.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Wow. Expensive and painful lesson. Hope it wasn't too traumatic for the son seeing him shot, bleeding and being ambulanced away.
"Life's tough......It's even tougher if you're stupid." -John Wayne
Very well stated as this is how I deal with guns as well. I experienced an unintentional discharge in my early years and it made me more hyper-vigilant ever since. Moreover, I tend to incorporate additional safety features in the guns I choose to carry. Granted, there's no substitute for practice and training but there are a few mods and features that can lower ones' exposure.
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.

Sounds painful, glad everyone is ok tho
Matthew 10:28 "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." ✞
Something to think about, hah?
"Historical examination of the right to bear arms, from English antecedents to the drafting of the Second Amendment, bears proof that the right to bear arms has consistently been, and should still be, construed as an individual right." -- U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings, Re: U.S. vs Emerson (1999)
Along with watching the trigger finger, lets also keep in mind not pointing loaded pistols at one's own legs. People always seem to forget that part of the equation.
If I am CC'ing a holster that's not easily removable then I'll take a second holster along if I need to disarm. Generally transfer it from, say, the beltslide to the SERPA then secure it in the car. I would not leave a Glock loaded and unholstered. I consider a holster a mandatory piece of safety equipment for my Glock.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!

How does a Glock go bang without the trigger being pulled? I've never had anything like that happen with my Glock. Did he some how pull the trigger with his finger while he was unloading?
Do signs hold the weight of law in Florida? Would be nice to know, since we're considering taking the whole family down there for a few days. Can't go to Florida without taking the niece and nephew to Disney World, right?
On topic, he obviously had to pull the trigger for that to happen. Why he would try to unload it, rather than just putting it in the glovebox is beyond me though.

Variety the Children's Charity of St. Louis Reviews
Invite reviews
Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
July 13, 2011
When my nephew Daunte was born, we made a decision as a family that we would do everything we could to prevent him from being limited by Spina bifida. We knew he was going to have a long, hard road ahead of him, but we were committed to allowing Daunte to thrive just like all of his siblings. We had no idea how expensive therapies and equipment to allow him the most basic functions, such as mobility, would be. Variety Club has stepped up every time Daunte has needed equipment as he has grown. Daunte rides his bike to the park with his brothers and cousins, speeds through the house in his little quickie, and even goes shopping and runs errands with me in his full sized chair. By being able to get around with other kids, Daunte has the confidence to go anywhere and play with any child. That confidence and independence is something that was given to him by not just his family, but in large part due to Variety Club. We cannot thank this charity enough for allowing my nephew to be the outgoing, confident little man he now is.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
watching my nephew learn to use his wheel chair and helping to teach him how to ride a bike donated by Variety Club.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give them unlimited funding so they could do as much good as possible for as many families as possible.

New garage doors will list the R-value of a section with many having a value of 10 or higher. This value does not measure the total R-value of the door but only the section. If a single pane garage window is added, then the R-value of the window section many be 1 or lower. These are not published figures on the vendors web sites or in their brochures (at least I could not find them). Where do you get information on a single pane versus a double pane garage window, and how really deleterious to the total R-value of a garage door are the windows? The obvious answer of not getting windows may not be an option where esthetics, convenience, and additional light is an issue. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd say not enough to worry about. Think of it this way, if the R-value of the non-window areas is 10, and the windows cover 10% of the door (which I would think is a high %, then even if the R-value of windows was close to 0, the total overall avg R-value would be 9. |

I am indebted to a young friend who summed up Francesca da Rimini tonight: "I didn't think anything could be campier than Adriana. But this is nothing but camp. Adriana at least has tunes."

Your doyenne La Cieca (not pictured) invites you to our weekly discussion of off-topic and general interest subjects.
Unconcealed by the voluminous folds of this Jessyesqe muumuu is queen-sized talent Jeffery Roberson (also known as Varla Jean Merman.)
The Monday, 12th December, Weill Hall recital debut of Signora Chiara Taigi, a strikingly good looking Italian soprano, who had made her American operatic debut this past March, starring as Selika in the OONY production of Meyerbeer's long-neglected L'Africaine, was something Your Own Camille had looked forward to with a high hopes and a faintly wondering glee, for several months now.
Like the double or triple negative (where theoretically pairs of "nots" cancel each other out, but in practice you can't be so sure) this tidbit of news La Cieca just read has her confused and uncertain. It seems that at a recital in Tulsa last night, Dame Kiri te Kanawa sang as an encore a Jake Heggie setting of Maria Callas's final monologue from Terrence McNally's Master Class. You know, the one that McNally didn't actually write but rather collated from some random remarks Callas made in an entirely different emotional context.
"It's just that it seems rather perverse to have cast such opulent voices and then given them not much to sing…. the role of Anna Nicole would not stretch Danielle de Niese." Loyal parterrian Jondrytay (not pictured) looked in on the Royal Opera's Anna Nicole and shared this thoughts on his blog Not So Wunderbar.
"The L.A. Phil's new season is up, too, and the big news there is (for me anyway) the premiere of a new sacred oratorio by John Adams, entitled The Gospel According to the Other Mary. Maybe he gave it that title to distinguish it from a forthcoming work by Mark Adamo. "What? No, I meant because Mark Adamo's writing The Gospel of Mary Magdalene for the San Francisco Opera! Why, what 'mary' did YOU think I was referring to?" [Daniel Stephen Johnson]

text: 2011 New York Auto Show Preview Every April, the decidedly car-unfriendly Big Apple hosts the last major auto show before the summer. We'll provide all the new car reveals as they unfold, but in the meantime, here's a snippet of the information that has already leaked. By Michael Frank Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 8 of 8 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 The last new SRT8 Grand Cherokee debuted in 2005 at the New York International Auto Show. Six years later there's a new version, and it will roll on a Mercedes ML platform just like the stock 2011 Grand Cherokee. This time around the SRT8 is even angrier. The puny 6.1-liter V8 from 2005 has been swapped for the 6.4-liter version from the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. While the old Jeep SRT8 was stupid-fastcapable of 060 mph runs in about 4.5 secondsthe new SRT8 should be absurd, too, since the enlarged muscle under the hood bulges horsepower from 420-hp to 465-hp. Jeep is conservatively estimating a 060 mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. Jeep is not being conservative, however, about saying this is the most powerful production model they've ever sold. The new rig gets an SRT-tuned, adaptive damping suspension that is interfaced through the stability control, air-damped shocks and transmission as well as the transfer case and throttle, and the driver can toggle through five modes tailored to specific driving conditions, including a hunkered "track mode" that keeps body roll to an absolute minimum. While an 8-speed transmission is rumored to be on the way, the 2012 model gets a 5-speed paddle-shift automatic that comes from Mercedes. Styling and performance alterations from the 2011 Grand Cherokee include 20-inch wheels with P295/45ZR20 Pirelli Scorpion Verde all-season tires and optional Pirelli P-Zero summer tires. The Brembo brakes and rotors are close to those used in the previous model that was on sale from 2006 to 2010, except that the front ones grow even larger, from 14.2 inches to 15 inches, with the rear measuring 13.8 inches. Jeep says the SRT8 will stop from 60 mph in a brace-yourself 118 feet. Jeep also added Bi-Xenon headlamps, polished metallic pedals, chrome exhaust, genuine carbon fiber accent pieces for interior trim, LED-lit footwells, eight-way adjustable (vented and heated) front seats, heated rear seats and a system to display real-time stats such as 060, g-force and horsepower. While the stock 506-watt, nine-speaker audio system from the Grand comes with the souped-up SRT8 model, one of the available options is an 825-watt, 19-speaker surround-sound system from Harman Kardon that includes a 10-inch subwoofer. Back in 2006 the SRT8 Grand was the fastest SUV around, but now the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5M and Mercedes-Benz AMG ML63 all battle in that realm. If Jeep can regain that crown when this SRT8 debuts this fall, it'll mean something to those who care about very fast, very tall SUVs that use way too much gas (EPA estimated 12 mpg city/18 mpg highway). Oh, we forgot: The 6.4-liter engine gets cylinder deactivation (on exhaust), so maybe it'll save a little fuel in case you ever lift your foot off the throttle.

Town (pop., 2005 prelim.: 19,800), West Bank territory. Inhabited since c. 9000 BC, it is famous in biblical tradition as the first town attacked by the Israelites under Joshua after they crossed the Jordan River. It was abandoned or destroyed several times and rebuilt in the same area. Captured by the British in 1918, it became part of the British mandate of Palestine. Incorporated into Jordan, it became the site of two huge camps of Arab refugees following the first Arab-Israeli war (1948). During the Six-Day War (1967), the town was occupied by Israel, and much of the refugee population was dispersed. In 1994 it was turned over to the Palestinian Authority under an Israeli-Palestinian self-rule agreement.

View Fresno拖車被撞衝入診所 致7人受傷 in a larger map
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) – Authorities say seven people were hurt when a tow truck carrying a car on its bed crashed into the waiting room of a Fresno, Calif., medical clinic.
The Fresno Bee reports (http://bit.ly/1n8qeMg) a pickup collided with the tow truck on Monday, sending the larger vehicle careening into the building.
The pickup crashed into a light pole.
California Highway Patrol Capt. Dave Paris says five people inside Clinton Medical Clinic were hospitalized with minor to moderate injuries.
He says they're "lucky to be alive."
Paris says both drivers were injured, one more seriously, but he didn't have additional information.
Officials say initial reports suggest the pickup driver ran a red light.
City workers were called in to steady the light pole before the truck was pulled from the building.

This question already has an answer here:
I got into a discussion with a coworker over an interview question that was asked of a potential employee. "Name some namespaces/what do they do/what namespace is involved with x".
I'm of the opinion that programmers don't really need to know that kind of stuff, especially with the use of an IDE and extremely accessible documentation.
He feels that a programmer with experience should be able to name namespaces. This is valid, I suppose, especially if you're looking to hire someone into a more experienced position. They don't particularly need to memorize namespaces, but anyone that has experience should be able to rattle off some namespaces and what their purpose is.
What are your thoughts on this?

Holiday to Peru's Machu Picchu "offers many surprises"
A holiday to Peru and a trek to Machu Picchu is a challenging and rewarding trip, if one correspondent's experiences are anything to go by.
Writing for the Canadian Press, Shannon Montgomery said her four-day hike held many surprises including coming face-to-face with the local cattle in the middle of the night.
Her trip took her along steep paths and forced her to deal with the air at altitude, but also offered the opportunity to take once-in-a-lifetime photographs and visit vividly colourful rain forests.
Recounting the wonder of her trip, Ms Montgomery said: "As the sun began to rise just for a moment it was easy to pretend that we were the first to set foot there in centuries, looking up and imagining what once had been."
Travellers looking to follow in the correspondent's footsteps could book onto one of Adventure Company's holidays to Peru.
The 15-day High Inca Trail trip allows tourists to take in the best of the Andes and marvel at sights such as Lake Titicaca, Salkantay and Huamantay, with an optional Amazon Jungle extension.
Meanwhile, a four-day sojourn includes a mix of mountain views and high-altitude moorland.
Other options are the Active in the Andes tour, Taste of Peru and Empire of the Inca holidays.
If this article sparks your imagination then have a look at our Machu Picchu tours or our holidays to Peru page.
Why The Adventure Company?
We've over 250 adventures worldwide & take 10,000 travellers away annually. We've been operating over 15 years & pioneered the concept of family adventures.
We go on most of our holidays so can offer excellent firsthand advice. Last year 90% of passengers rated our trip 'excellent' or 'good'

Administration Ignores Requests from 9/11 Public Discourse Project
@ 11:50 AM (115 months, 13 days ago)
The New York Times reports that the Bush administration has failed to turn over information requested by the 9/11 Public Discourse Project. The Project was established by the members of the former 9/11 Commission, which finished its official work last August.
The 9/11 Public Discourse Project wants to follow-up to ensure that the government is doing enough to prevent terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, and their requests for interviews with government officials such as Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice, have gone unanswered.
Thomas Kean, the Republican who led the 9/11 Commission, said "It's very disappointing. All we're trying to do is make the public safer."
The Bushies like to play the terrorism trump card every chance they get. At last year's Republican convention, 9/11 was invoked ad nauseum. We were supposed to come away with images of Bush, the resolute leader who stared down the terrorists (never mind that we still don't have Osama).
Yet the Administration is curiously clothed in secrecy when it comes to sharing information with the public, that would explain what the federal government is doing to prevent another attack on American soil.
They need to ask themselves is that the best way to honor the memory of those who died on 9/11, and the families who continue to mourn. Of course, they would only ask themselves that question, if they really cared.

A hidden territory, the last colony in Africa is finally revealed in this documentary.

We were all surprised when we got the press release from the city.
And the problem with the dam is a simple one.
I'll give you a clue. It will require either a lot of money, or one Dutch boy..
The problem is, the Lake Tyler dam is 64 years old, built in 1949.
And technology then wasn't what it is now.
And the dam is leaking.
Here's the problem area. It's at the bottom of the dam called the foot. It is seeping water at the rate of 30 gallons a minute.
And that sounds like a lot.
"At that flow rate, it would take over 91 years to lose a foot of water out of Lake Tyler," says Greg Morgan of Tyler Water Utilities. "in addition to the seepage, we were beginning to see a small boil, which is where water surfaces and is transporting soil."
Since rebuilding the dam is simply out of the question cost-wise, the water department will have to come up with a plan.
"I do not have a firm cost estimate at this time, nor do I have an exact construction schedule, but we do not anticipate it taking much more than 6 months," Morgan says.
Right now Lake Tyler is about 3 feet below normal.
It's not really due to the leak.
But, it could be worse.
"Two summers ago we got down 7 ½ feet, " Morgan recalled, "and in 2006, Lake Tyler got 8 feet below spillway level."
