What a difference a year makes.
With Opening Day less than a week away, the excitement surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays is much different than it was a year ago.
Going into last season, many believed this team could win the World Series, or at the very least, make the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. This, of course, never came to fruition and the Jays have gone from pre-season favourites to almost an afterthought in the baseball world. Their window to win with this group of players might only have a season or two left, so the time to be successful is now.
Having said that, what are your expectations for the 2014 Toronto Blue Jays?
The Jays Opening Day roster won't look drastically different from 2013. Aside from losing the much-maligned J.P. Arencibia (replacing him with Dioner Navarro) to the Texas Rangers and Josh Johnson to the San Diego Padres, the Jays have pretty much stood pat. Will another year of the same crew result in a similar outcome, or, with a season together already under their belts, is it possible Toronto can find their grove and be a competitive ball club?
The pitching rotation has been a major question mark this spring with R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, and the oft-injured Brandon Morrow returning to this year's staff. Youngster Drew Hutchison, 23, who missed last season due to Tommy John surgery and long-time Blue Jay Dustin McGowan round out the rotation. Will the Jays go as far as their starters take them? How much faith do you have in this group to stay healthy and produce wins?
It looks as though the AL East is as strong as it's ever been with the Orioles, Yankees, Red Sox and Rays making improvements to their ball clubs over the off-season. Are the Jays good enough to compete in the toughest division in baseball?
There is the opinion that the expectations – and pressure – were so high for the team in 2013, that they were set up to fail. With the team not having the weight of the world on their shoulders this time around, it's possible the team could pull a 180 and play like they were supposed to last year.
So, what are you expecting from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014?

Last week a writer from the New York Daily News poked fun at Denver's lack of transportation services and even called us a "cowtown." Most Denverites are a bit touchy about the subject. More lanes on I-25 will not improve our image or our quality of life. I hope Owens will reconsider.

Do I face any legal liability if someone makes an offer on my house, but then for family reasons I don't accept the offer but instead take the house off the market? Does it make a difference if it's a full-price offer? It's in New York. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What is in writing? Just making an offer means very little, verbly, --was this thru a realtor? But I have read that if it is a legimate family emergency you can pull the house off the market without a problem. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Sun, May 10, 09 at 21:04
An offer is not even close to being a contract. And a verbally accepted offer is not enforcable. Happens all of the time. Just happened to y client today... my Seller had a verbally accepted contract. The "buyer" got cold feet, and refused to sign. Back on the market we go. |
Depending on your agreement with your listing agent, you may owe commission if a full-price offer was made on your house that you did not accept. |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Tue, May 12, 09 at 16:20
what c9pilot says. & that's just your liability to the broker; |
Your broker could sue for commission because you hired him to find you a ready, willing and able buyer and that was done. This is only if its a full price offer, anything lower would get you off the hook. Your buyer most likely wouldnt be able to force the sale since you dont have a signed contract on just the offer.

The staff where fabulous, the manager is very personable and got to know the guests... Very rare to see. The room was very very clean. Breakfast was great a fantastic selection and Happy hour is fantastic... We are now regulars....
The fact that I asked to get our floor vacuumed the first night we were there and we stayed there for four nights and still after complaining every night it still was not done when we left and the food area was a mess not very appetizing to have anything but coffee in all house keeping was very poor for the price we paid to stay there very unhappy with this hotel
It was very charmingly decorated, and the staff were very nice. They left a sweet note and some muffins for me, since they knew I would be leaving early the next morning before breakfast time.
The quaintness and the staff were fantastic... Very friendly and helpful
The room was really good had everything we needed.
My Husband was staying for a week at a time due to work, the staff never came in to clean or put fresh towels the whole week he was there. I had a problem with this. I understand not changing the bed but I do feel clean towels should be put in the room.
The location was in the center of everything that we wanted to do!
Carpet was dirty, Bathroom door didn't have a lock and after a day the inner handle fell off, Shower was narrow and low flow from the shower head!
Quiet and comfortable. Friendly, helpful staff. Attractive hotel.
I wish there had been a restaurant attached to the hotel.
It has been updated. I love the fact that there is a happy hour bar and the ability to order dinner
A breakfast buffet used to be included. But now you have to stand in a long line and order; Even the coffee was a cost. Takes up to much time, and I felt nickled and dimed
Very noisy (ice machine or elevator). Room was small for a 'suite,'
I was very satisfied with everything - good experience.
Cold coffee
Staffs friendly, carefully and seriously. Hotel lobby, generous, elegant, self-serve coffee, tea placed next to the lobby, 24-hour supply, convenient and feel good.
Breakfast time, use a vacuum cleaner, noisy!
I loved how the price was so reasonable for such a large room and it was close to where I was getting my wedding hair done.
I really liked the layout of room with kitchen.
Being on floor level
Atmosphere inside and outside of the hotel.
Nothing, everything was perfect
The friendly staff and my massage at the spa
The only thing I didn't like was that I didn't stay long enough!

Should therapists play cupid?
A really interesting article was published in the New York Times this week, "Should therapists play cupid?" Check it out here.
Basically, the author, a psychiatrist, discusses his own temptations to set up his patients with each other, or even with other people in his life. He acknowledges that doing this sort of thing would be the equivalent of entering an ethical minefield, but even so, discusses his fantasies of playing matchmaker.
I was actually pretty shocked to hear how much thought and consideration he has given to setting folks up! For clinical and ethical reasons, it was surprising to hear that this fantasy was fairly common among therapists. Granted, I can see why the thought might cross a therapist's mind, but given the rigorous training in ethics and appropriate clinical practice that one likely has as a therapist, entering into someone's life like that is seriously considered a no-no, so it was surprising to me that so many people have thought twice about it.
A panel of 4 therapists discussed this article on the Huffington Post, and I was surprised again to hear how much some of them thought about playing the role of cupid – check out the video here.
One of the issues that was wisely brought up in this panel is that of multiple relationships: in general, therapists should not have dual roles with clients. I am not too familiar with ethical codes other than that for psychologists, but in my ethical code, psychologists should not have relationships with their clients other than the therapist/client relationship if it might otherwise impair their objectivity or interfere with treatment.
Matchmaking is on seriously shaky ground!
While I agree with Dr. Lazarus (on the video) that many ethical principles are like straightjackets for psychologists, I don't think the principle about multiple relationships is one of them. Rather, I think it's there for good reason.
My view is that the relationship that a client has with his or her therapist is sacred, and it is the therapist's duty to protect that. This does not mean playing God by interfering in a client's life in any other way than in the consulting room. This especially does not mean introducing people from the therapist's own life – whether they are other clients, friends or family – into the client's life. Such an act, even if harmless in many cases, has too great of a potential to tarnish that sacred space of the therapist's office. It is the one place in the universe in which your relationship with someone is mostly one-sided, for you, and separate from the rest of the world and the rest of your life.
Even if it is tempting for you to think about your therapist setting you up with someone, your therapist getting involved like that would just muddy up the whole process. There are plenty of other people out there to set you up. And who's to say that the therapist isn't doing this for their own gratification? How would a therapist even know? I've wanted to set friends up before and imagining that it might work out is extremely gratifying to me…(which is ok, of course, with friends).

Imperial regimes can crack when they are driven out of their major foreign outposts. The fall of the Berlin Wall did not just signal the liberation of Eastern Europe from Moscow. It prefigured the collapse of the Soviet Union itself just two years later.
The fall of Bashar al-Assad's Syria could be similarly ominous for Iran. The alliance with Syria is the centerpiece of Iran's expanding sphere of influence, a mini-Comintern that includes such clients as Iranian-armed-and-directed Hezbollah, now the dominant power in Lebanon; and Hamas, which controls Gaza and threatens to take the rest of Palestine (the West Bank) from a feeble Fatah.
Of all these clients, Syria is the most important. It's the only Arab state openly allied with non-Arab Iran. This is significant because the Arabs see the Persians as having centuries-old designs to dominate the Middle East. Indeed, Iranian arms and trainers, transshipped to Hezbollah through Syria, have given the Persians their first outpost on the Mediterranean in 2,300 years.
But the Arab-Iranian divide is not just national or ethnic. It is sectarian. The Arabs are overwhelmingly Sunni. Iran is Shiite. The Arab states fear Shiite Iran will infiltrate the Sunni homeland through (apart from Iraq) Hezbollah in Lebanon, and through Syria, run by Assad's Alawites, a heterodox offshoot of Shiism.
Which is why the fate of the Assad regime is geopolitically crucial. It is, of course, highly significant for reasons of democracy and human rights as well. Syrian Baathism, while not as capricious and deranged as the Saddam Hussein variant, runs a ruthless police state that once killed 20,000 in Hama, and has now killed more than 5,400 during the current uprising.
Human rights — decency — is reason enough to do everything we can to bring down Assad. But strategic opportunity compounds the urgency. With its archipelago of clients anchored by Syria, Iran is today the greatest regional threat — to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states terrified of Iranian nuclear hegemony; to traditional regimes menaced by Iranian jihadist subversion; to Israel, which the Islamic republic has pledged to annihilate; to America and the West, whom the mullahs have vowed to drive from the region.
No surprise that the Arab League, many of whose members are no tender-hearted humanitarians, is pressing hard for Assad's departure. His fall would deprive Iran of an intra-Arab staging area and sever its corridor to the Mediterranean. Syria would return to the Sunni fold. Hezbollah, Tehran's agent in Lebanon, could be next, withering on the vine without Syrian support and Iranian materiel. And Hamas would revert to Egyptian patronage.

"Fantastic, I wouldn't change a thing. I've made this a few times now, and shared the recipe with family who loved it. Fresh ingredients are a must - anything canned just isn't quite as good. I'll never buy store bought salsa again. Thanks for a great recipe."
"The best banana muffin recipe I've found - I usually add extra cinnamon because I really like that flavor. I make these ahead and freeze. Once in a while, for something different, I send one to work with my husband - they are thawed by the time he gets to have his breakfast/lunch & they keep nice & moist. Thanks for the recipe!"
"Great recipe! Thank you for posting this - I've used this for many recipies calling for "brown gravy mix" and don't have to run out and buy more expensive packets each time!"
"Excellent recipe - very tasty. I stock up on ground beef when it is on sale, then make these in large quantity & freeze for easy quick meals later."

Architect discusses his activity holidays in Andorra
British architect Norman Foster has revealed his love of activity holidays in Andorra.
Speaking to the Guardian as he celebrates his 75th birthday, the London-based designer said he loves nothing more than getting on his bike and cycling through the Pyrenees.
He recalled travelling along the famous Camino de Santiago route, a 485-mile medieval path which leads from France to Spain.
Foster explained that he took up cycling after he beat bowel cancer and sought inspiration from fellow survivor Lance Armstrong.
After reading the American's tome It's Not About the Bike, the designer began tackling cycling jaunts in the Alps and the Pyrenees, which recalled the mammoth trips he used to make on his bike as a young boy.
"I didn't quite manage to win the Tour de France, [but] I've cycled marathons ever since," Foster remarked.
Those inspired to test themselves with a spot of mountain biking should book one of The Adventure Company's activity holidays in Andorra.
For example, the Active in the Pyrenees trip offers a chance to cycle through the El Cortals Valley forest, along with the opportunity to go white-water rafting or explore the Siscarco Lakes on foot.
We offer some exciting choices of family activity holidays for you to discover

2013: A Look Back And Ahead
Bob Swan has been eBay's chief financial officer since 2006, overseeing the numbers end of the San Jose, Calif.-based company at a time when it's reinventing itself as a hot spot for innovation and a global marketplace for both online and offline business.
Swan is responsible for all aspects of eBay's (NASDAQ:EBAY) finances, including operations such as mergers and acquisitions and investor relations. He joined eBay from Electronic Data Systems, where he also served as CFO.
Swan says the payments, e-commerce and online auction player will target emerging markets and continue its innovative push and efforts to straddle online and offline transactions. He spoke with IBD about eBay's 2013 strategic focus:
IBD: Will eBay keep making changes to its platform in 2013 to aid its Marketplace (auction and e-commerce) unit?
Swan: The overall retail digital landscape is changing fairly dramatically, so we have every intention of pursuing innovation in our industry and extending the role we play. If I were to isolate the specific areas that are extremely important to us as we try to essentially bring the world's inventory to the world's consumers, we would like to continue to strengthen personalization and relevancy for consumers shopping on the eBay platform.
Secondly, we have an extremely global footprint, but we're not very big in the emerging markets. How we use our global supply to reach consumers in the faster-growing emerging markets will be increasingly important and a big priority for our business.
And third is mobility — we are a leading player in the mobile space and we intend to continue to (develop) eBay Mobile to make it easier for consumers to access the world's inventory. It's a fast-changing industry that we're operating in and we will continue to innovate out in front of it and help our merchants to reach consumers around the world.
IBD: What innovations will eBay focus on in the global marketplace?
Swan: The innovation is across our portfolio. Let's talk about eBay. Within our Marketplace unit, obviously we'll be helping shoppers (who use computers) by continuing to innovate and develop technologies that will help make that connection easier.
In (transaction services) PayPal, we continue to take the PayPal wallet and what it meant for both merchants and consumers in the online world, (and) innovate and bring more functionality to that wallet as we migrate into the offline world.
And at GSI Commerce (which develops and runs online shopping sites for brick-and-mortar brands and retailers), the technologies are highly contingent to make retailers and brands effectively compete and win in a world where multichannel and mobile devices have made life between online and offline blur.
Consumers may want to shop online or offline and may want to have an item delivered to their home or they may want to order it online and pick it up at the store. GSI builds and innovates on those technologies to make it easier for retailers and merchants to win.
IBD: Will mobile innovations like retail "dongle" swipes , which let shoppers use their cellphones to make purchase transactions, and the move to more such offline transactions continue to be key drivers for the company? How?
Swan: This is another example where mobile has dramatically blurred the lines between the online and offline world. For us, what that means is that PayPal historically had been simply a way to pay on eBay. Today, it's the way to pay online. Dongles are a way to take our technology and user base and migrate that into the offline world to make it easy for the consumer to use their mobile or global wallet in the cloud to conduct transactions in the offline world.
Whether they're large retailers or small retailers, we have taken steps to enable consumers to use PayPal's functionality in the offline world. That's a new market for us where we've spent a lot of time and energy to position ourselves to be the winner, not just in online payments, but to also position ourselves in the offline world. The dongle is a technology, a device that enables us to do that.
IBD: Do you see further changes in consumer and business customer behavior, driven by mobile, in 2013 that will affect eBay?
Swan: At the most radical level, the biggest change is that consumers today have the ability to shop anytime, anywhere, for anything around the globe. The consumer has the ability to do this given mobile devices and today's technology. So in that world, we have been invested in mobile to make that easy for the last several years. And this year, we will do over $10 billion in volume on eBay Marketplaces and over $10 billion in volume on PayPal because of the innovations we've been making in mobile to capitalize on these emerging trends.
In 2013, mobile is here to stay and mobile devices as a way to make consumer lives easier is clearly here to stay. We will use that technology to create more shoppable experiences and moments for the consumer by enabling them to access technology at the tip of their fingers to conduct more commerce in an easier and simpler way. We will build the capability on eBay with PayPal and with GSI clients to help them capitalize on mobile technologies.
IBD: What is PayPal's main strategy in 2013?
Swan: PayPal's business has evolved dramatically in a relatively short time ago, from being the way to pay on eBay to today where it's more the way to pay online with well over 50% of PayPal's volume coming across eBay from merchants all around the world. You can expect us to continue to innovate on behalf of merchants and consumers to grow our share of the overall e-commerce landscape and to find new functionalities like our instant credit offering to help increase conversion for merchants.
So in the online world, you can expect us to continue to innovate about the relevancy of the functionality of the wallet to increase consumer adoption.
In addition to that, (we're asking) how do we take our online technology capabilities and our user interface and what PayPal stands for for both merchants and consumers and leverage that technology to migrate into the offline world.
EBay's focus was e-commerce primarily for small and medium-sized merchants, but in a relatively short time it's shifted to enabling e-commerce for merchants of all sizes and all regions of the world. So the magnitude of our market for eBay Inc. and all three of its businesses (Marketplace, PayPal and GSI) has dramatically changed.
There are strategies across the portfolio and the technologies and innovations that will enable us to capitalize on a dramatically larger market.
10 American Express (NYSE:AXP) will cut 4,000 jobs, or 6%, amid soft revenue gains. EBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) will drop 2,400, or 7%.

Been on the truck for a year...professionally installed by a fellow TWer Mr. Dangler. Well maintained....cleaned after every off road trip.
some info....
Weve taken our successful uniball upper a-arms to the next level. Our performance upper arms now use a much larger and stronger 1.25" uniball bearing. This bearing allows for more mis-alignment for maximum wheel travel and uses our new flush mount hardware that gives you more clearance between the arm and inner fender. These arms correct the suspension geometry by increasing much needed caster and allow for a wider range of alignment adjustment. The tubular construction also gives you more tire & shock clearance compared to the stock stamped arm."
Uni-Ball Arm Specs:
- Tubular chromoly upper a-arms
- Uses Aurora 1.25" uniballs (Made in the USA)
- New flush mount hardware and spacers
- Uniball spacers CNC machined from heat-treated stainless steel
- Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings with thick inner sleeves
- Includes grade 8 and high strength 12pt hardware
- Stainless steel ABS line clamps
- Powder coated gray finish
Maximum wheel backspacing = 4.50"
i'm thinking $500 obo?
these are currently on the truck.
thanks for looking.

DETROIT - One measure of how tough times are in the Motor City: Some of the offenders in jail don't want to be released; some who do get out promptly re-offend to head back where there's heat, health care and three meals a day.
"For the first time, I'm seeing guys make a conscious decision they'll be better off in prison than in the community, homeless and hungry," said Joseph Williams of New Creations Community Outreach, which assists ex-offenders. "In prison they've got three hots and a cot, so they commit a crime to go back in and come out when times are better."
For now, better times seem distant. Even with no hurricane to blame, Detroit has, by many measures, replaced New Orleans as America's most beleaguered city.
The jobless rate has climbed past 21 percent, the embattled school district just fired its superintendent, tens of thousands of homes and stores are abandoned, the ex-mayor is in jail for a text-messaging sex scandal. Even the pro football team is a pathetic joke — the Lions are within two losses of an unprecedented 0-16 season.
And overarching these woes is the near-collapse of the U.S. auto industry, Detroit's vital source of jobs and status for more than a century.
"We're the Motor City," said Scott Alan Davis, who oversees community development projects in one of the worst-hit neighborhoods. "When the basis for that name collapses, that's started to scare people."
Among the worried is Warlena McDuell, 81, a retired surgical technician who shares a home with her cancer-stricken daughter. On a recent weekday, she was among hundreds of Detroiters, most of them elderly, filling orange-plastic grocery carts at a food bank run by Focus:HOPE, a local nonprofit.
"It's a depression — not a recession," McDuell said, with the authority of someone who has lived through both. "It will get worse before it gets better."
Behind her in line, stocking up on canned goods, was Benjamin Smith, 77, who once held jobs with Uniroyal and Chrysler. Maneuvering his cart slowly, one hand gripping a cane, he was unable to muster much cheer when someone extended holiday good wishes.
"How are we going to do well?" he replied. "Everything's busted up."
The roots of Detroit's current plight go back decades. Court-ordered school busing and the 12th Street riots of 1967 accelerated an exodus of whites to the suburbs, and many middle-class blacks followed, shrinking the city's population from a peak of 1.8 million in the 1950s to half that now.
About 83 percent of the current population is African-American. Detroit's crime, poverty, unemployment and school dropout rates are among the worst of any major U.S. city. Car and home insurance rates are high. Chain grocery stores are absent, forcing many Detroiters to rely on high-priced corner stores.
"There's always been a real can-do spirit among our people," said the Rev. Edgar Vann, pastor of Second Ebenezer Church. "That's being beaten down right now. … These times, unlike others, have sapped a lot of that spirit from them."
Vann, in addition to overseeing a 5,000-member megachurch, founded the Vanguard Community Development Corp., which under Scott Alan Davis' leadership is building homes and offering education programs in the blighted North End.
One apartment complex, for the elderly, is rising near two grade schools recently closed by the city that now sit empty and ransacked.
"It's death to the neighborhood," said Vann, some anger in his voice, as he gestured to homes that had been abandoned and vandalized since the schools shut down. He worries that despair may take a toll.
"Somebody needs to hear us before we begin to see a rise of social upheaval," Vann said.
For Mark Covington, as for many of his neighbors, there are two Detroits. One features swanky casinos, opulent hotels and two new sports stadiums, beckoning high rollers to a relatively vibrant downtown.
Then there's the vast Detroit of decaying neighborhoods, trash-strewn lots and burned-out houses.
"It makes me want to leave," said Covington, 36. "But I figure, if I leave, who else is going to help? … People like me are what's going to turn Detroit around."
With no job, Covington has spent the past year working on what he calls the Georgia Street Garden — three empty lots he and his friends have converted into an inner city farm east of downtown.
It's one of hundreds of vegetable gardens citywide that have taken root on land cleared after the razing of abandoned homes.
Covington and his friends did what the city hadn't done: moved trash from the lots to the curbs. They planted tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli and other vegetables, as well as a few fruit trees.
A makeshift, wooden movie screen was erected last summer for outdoor film nights.
"I'm seeing camaraderie around here I haven't seen since I was a little kid," Covington said. "It's actually starting to feel like a village again."
He just wishes they had more help from city leaders.
"I'm proud our downtown is coming back," Covington said. "They've put money into the downtown. … Everybody understands that. But what about the people that pay for it? I mean, we pay our taxes. We need city services. It's the crime and cleaning up."
For all its woes, Detroit has no shortage of residents offering to tackle them. There are 15 candidates for the Feb. 24 special mayoral election necessitated by the conviction of Kwame Kilpatrick for trying to cover up an affair with a former top aide.
Steve Tobocman, who represents a Detroit district in the state legislature, praised the slate of candidates, but added, "I don't think there's a concrete vision on how to deal with the real challenges."
The challenges are daunting. A City Council fiscal analyst projects that Detroit's budget deficit could surpass $200 million by June. The public school district faces a deficit exceeding $400 million, prompting the state to declare a financial emergency.
The latest FBI statistics show Detroit with the highest violent crime rate of any major city. Yet Jeriel Heard, chief of jails and court for Detroit's Wayne County, said jail conditions may deteriorate because of budgetary pressure to eliminate a quarter of the deputies who guard them.
Heard confirmed that some offenders are now reluctant to leave jail when their sentences are done.
Trying to combat blight, the city has applied for $47 million in federal neighborhood stabilization money, with half earmarked to tear down more than 2,300 vacant homes.
But this effort would make only a small dent. About 44,000 of the 67,000 homes that have gone into foreclosure since 2005 remain empty, and it costs about $10,000 to demolish each vacant house, according to city planning officials.
Overall, the residential real estate market is catastrophic, with the Detroit Board of Realtors now pegging the average price of a home at $18,513. Some owners can't find buyers at any price.
"If you no longer can sell your property, how can you move elsewhere?' said Robin Boyle, an urban planning professor at Wayne State University. "Some people just switch out the lights and leave ."
Looking ahead, Detroit civic leaders express long-term optimism but acknowledge the shift away from a heavy-manufacturing economy will be painful.
"Up until the '70s, you could come to the city without education, without speaking English, and get a job in the auto industry and instantly be in the middle class, economically speaking," said Mike Stewart, director of Wayne State's Walter P. Reuther Library and an expert on the auto industry.
"A lot of folks in the city depended on these jobs for generations — they don't exist anymore," he said. "A lot of Detroiters are unprepared, educationally and technologically, to cope."
Another fundamental problem is the gap between the city's circumstances and those in the surrounding region, which includes many relatively affluent, predominantly white suburbs.
Mark Douglas, 41, is among the metro area's most successful African-American car dealers — he succeeded his father in 2005 as president of Avis Ford in suburban Southfield.
"Detroit has got to figure out a way to make people feel it's safe — if people don't want to live there, it's tough to develop any kind of tax base," Douglas said. "Whites have to move back in. … Everyone has to come together."

Under the terms of the agreement, Rubber World Industries will supply 'Gulf-O-Flex' closed cell elastomeric rubber tube insulation, sheet roll insulation and adhesives that will be used for refrigerant copper pipes and AC drain/refrigerant pipe insulation purposes.
According to Rubber World Industries executives, the recent award demonstrates the strong confidence that contractors like Arabtec Construction have placed in Rubber World Industries' diverse product portfolio of rubber insulated materials. The growing preference for the company's products can be attributed to its durability and competitive pricing. In addition, Rubber World Industries products are dust free, fiber-free, CFC free, Zero ODP and have low VOCs, making them mold and mildew resistant.
In addition to Rubber World Industries, the company has also awarded a contract to Emirates Falcon Electromechanical Co. (EFECO), to facilitate the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) requirements of the Arabian Ranches project. Aside from the Arabian Ranches project, the company has also revealed being awarded a contract to provide rubber insulated building materials for the Baniyas Residential Development project in Abu Dhabi, which covers the construction of 411 villas.
"We are very proud to have been awarded this contract from Arabtec Construction, which demonstrates the continued trust and confidence given to us by contractors in the region today. Using our diverse portfolio of products, particularly the 'Gulf-O-Flex' line, will definitely add merit to the Arabian Ranches project, giving both developers and future homeowners the confidence and security that world class and highly durable materials were used for the project," concluded Rizwan Shaikhani, Managing Director, Rubber World Industries.

Citadel Capital SAE (CCAP), a Cairo-based private equity firm, headed for the biggest daily loss in more than a month after the sale of its stake in National Petroleum Co. Egypt Ltd. was postponed.
The shares of Citadel retreated 3.8 percent, the steepest drop since March 25, to 3.04 Egyptian pounds, at 1:08 p.m. in Cairo. The benchmark EGX 30 Index (EGX30) fell 1 percent.
Canada's Sea Dragon Energy Inc. (SDX) said April 30 it reached a non-binding agreement with Golden Crescent Investments Ltd., a unit of the Cairo-based private equity firm, to extend the date of its acquisition of Golden's National Petroleum. The $147.5 million transaction has been delayed until Aug. 8. Golden has the right to seek an alternative buyer by Aug. 1.
Citadel spokeswoman Ghada Hammouda didn't answer a call and a text message to her mobile phone.

I know SS just came out... but I was disappointed. It's cool if you liked it, that's not what this thread is about. I'm ready for a new Zelda game... any news?
Besides it being Nintendo's largest and most expensive project to date, we don't really know much about it, and probably won't at least until E3 2013. http://wiiudaily.com/2012/09/wii-u-zelda-game-coming-2014/
Another user made a thread saying that it would come out in year 2014. I wonder when the Legend of Zelda series is going to end.
I know they say this every game, but SWEET! Oh, you mean nine days from now? http://dawnofthefirstday.info/
Ya, you're right. Shame on me for asking a Zelda related question on a Zelda board filled with people knowledgeable of Zelda and that I didn't have to read through an ocean of vague tiny articles acquired through Google telling me next to nothing. My question about a future Zelda game is really drowning out all the important conversations on this thriving board! silly me!
Don't be an ass, I'm just questioning why you wouldn't do something that seems easier and more informative.
word. I was serious that you guys would probably know the most (and best) info... instead of sifting through Google and all that.
How about we not give fellow users crap for adding a thread to our shamefully inactive board? Discussions arise from all sorts of things, a new on topic thread sure as hell can't hurt.
Thanks for the link! (no pun intended). Only skimmed so far... saw a few things I liked and saw a few red flags. I'll read it again a bit later and get back to you. Also... What happened to the rumors that Nintendo is handing Zelda off to a third party for this round? This article seems to thouroughly imply the opposite.
It's been hinted at, and many fans want Retro to give it a shot, but of course since we're talking about Nintendo here, no confirmations to speak of.
Miyamoto has all but confirmed that Retro will never have control of Zelda as long as he's around. Apparently it's too difficult to keep tabs on their project since they're in the U.S. and he's in Japan, and for some reason he would have to keep that close of an eye on the project to feel comfortable letting Retro take a stab at it...
Wouldn't mind it at all. Capcom did a great job with the games they helped with/made. I'd love a fresh take on the series. Even if they're only helping out, I'd be OK. nuts, I only read that he said it would be difficult to coordinate. I'm guessing we'll only get answers when E3 rolls around...
You would think that Nintendo would work with Capcom again. Like you said, when they've done so they've been successful, at least in terms of quality.
The director of the Oracle games, Four Swords and Minish Cap is the same guy who directed Skyward Sword. His name is Hidemaro Fujibayashi, and I feel safe in saying he is probably a big part of why I enjoyed Skyward Sword a good deal.
I didn't know that, but I wish I could say the same about Skyward Sword. I really need to replay it to see if I'll actually enjoy it the second time. The same thing happened on my second playthrough of WW, so it's worth a shot.
What similarities are there then between the games you mentioned and SS then Mike? I'm rather curious, plus I haven't played those games except for Oracle of Ages which I can't really remember anyway lol. But yeah any similarities that stick out the most?
A great sense of exploration. Skyward Sword did a great job of making me want to walk every corner of the world. The Oracles and Minish Cap do the very same. They all share another huge bonus: some can feature Ganon without ruining the subordinate villains like TP did. A minor thing but I prefer the styles of Minish Cap and Skyward Sword the most. They don't try to be realistic but instead are smooth and beautiful (Minish Cap's look craps all over the look of the DS games). There aren't any huge cons to the games either. TWW has sailing, TP has Ganondorf hijacking Zant and ruining him but there aren't really any huge problems with the Oracles, Minish Cap and Skyward Sword. Skyward Sword does follow the "usual" Zelda formula I have a distaste for but it isn't a major con, though I'd chalk it up to a con if I made a list of pros and cons for the game. Play the Oracles games and Minish Cap sometime. They are very good.
a few things i'm worried about. i hope they are looking to make this game more difficult. maybe have 2 difficulty modes at the beginning instead of having to unlock it after you beat an easy single player. casual can be fore the newcomers, and hardcore can be for the vets. and after you beat the game you unlock a legendary mode which is super hard and you get something after you beat legendary mode. maybe a cut-scene of something cool? and a few other things They feel they've found the sweet spot with Skyward Sword, and they're continuing this approach with the Wii U Zelda game". - i hope they change up the overworld to make it actually enjoyable and not tedious to fly around in. make it less barren and more things to do Some dungeons are so big they're broken up in 3 parts and will literally take hours to complete". -i hope its not like the phantom hourglass main dungeon where you must go back through each place 3 times to get stuff and redo each puzzle. that was really annoying. also if there is a water temple with the raising of water levels and stuff, were screwed. The Wii U Zelda game will also "have mini-games and side quests, but these are still on the drawing board". -they may have mini-games and sidequests but if there are only 3-4 sidequests then i will be disappointed. they should have a few optional bosses with optional items. maybe if you defeat an optional boss you get a magic spell or medallion(ether, quake, bombos etc...) It'll have some online features like Miiverse and some sort of system where players can leave hints and help each other in the dungeons. -hope this stuff doesnt take away the exploration and adventuring of the quest
edit: (I'm posting off topic in my own thread... yikes) I'd hate to quote you with nothing but disagreement (however, the more support SS gets, the more we will see the like of it in the future).... I feel the bold is one of SS's biggest flaws. The way I see it, the entire overworld is a puzzle; a lot of areas only are used to get to another area. Feels empty... like nothing lives there. WW had either good guys or bad guys on each island living in their respective communities with minigames, heart pieces, and mini quests on most islands. MM had several communities in each direction (with more than just Moblins standing in Link's way). SS seems almost insulting with the entire world being a rubix cube... It doesn't seem like a magical world where fantastical people and things would live. The few communities there pale embarrassingly to MM or even the races present in OoT. Bah! sorry for the rant... but if the next few Zeldas follow suit with SS, then count me out.
They need to elevate Zelda into an HD world. Call this game "The Legend of Zelda". It doesn't need a theme, it doesn't need a secondary title, it needs to be the traditional story retold with today's technology in gaming. We haven't seen this yet.
UGHHHH I hope they don't stick w/ Skyward Sword's visuals. It was the worst in the series console history, IMO. I'd rather just do Wind Waker than that!!

AIMEE BLUME: When it's crumbly yet creamy and tangy — that's MontAmoré
Sartori MontAmoré is one of the Sartori company's classic cheeses, made of pasteurized cows' milk and aged long enough to become crumbly and speckled with crunchy calcium lactate crystals.
According to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing board at eatwisconsincheese.com, MontAmoré was inspired by Italian Piave cheese, a specialty of the Dolomite mountain region in the Italian Alps from whence Sartori founder Paolo Sartori emigrated to the U.S. While Piave is named for the river valley that runs through the mountains, MontAmoré is named for the mountains themselves.
Although it has some of the buttery-sweet nuttiness of a very young Parmigiano, MontAmoré, like Piave, is softer and creamier. Imagine the taste of a Parmesan with the mouth feel of a crumbly English cheddar.
Sartori was formed as S&R Cheeses in 1939. Through the years, the company has grown and driven innovation in cheese-making equipment while also introducing lines of special reserve and limited edition cheeses to satisfy the artisan market. The quality of Sartori cheeses is extremely good, a fact testified to by their long lists of cheese championships and awards.
The Sartori line of Bellavitano cheeses are quite popular locally: buttery-sweet young Parmesan-types coated with espresso, black pepper, merlot wine, raspberry ale, chai tea or Balsamic vinegar. If you like Bellavitano, you'll enjoy MontAmore, which has a similar sweet-buttery flavor but is softer, crumblier and creamier.
Pair MontAmore with a chardonnay or light red wine, pale ale, chocolate and dried or cooked fruit. Crumble it over a salad with fresh apples or pears and a light raspberry vinaigrette.
Apple Crisp with MontAmoré
Serves 10
5 pounds apples (blend of Pink Lady, Gala and Honey Crisp)
10 ounces Sartori MontAmoré cheese, shredded
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Peel and core apples. Slice into wedges.
2 Combine the apples, zest, juice, cheese and spices. Pour into a 9"x13" baking dish.
3 Combine the oatmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and butter in a mixer or food processor until crumbly (butter will be pea sized.)
4 Scatter crumb mixture over the apple mixture.
5 Bake 325 degrees for 1 hour, or until the apples are very tender and the dessert is hot and bubbly.
6 Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

I've been using offline maps for a long time on my phone, and using my phone clipped to the handlebars.
I'm currently using CoPilot Live. This does almost everything I need. You can just have the maps on 2D or 3D ( I hate 3D). You can route using different rules for quickest or more scenic, etc. But it does not have tracks that are practical to export.
I also use OSMand+. Cheap. The maps are free. It does tracks well and has a pretty good feature set. Routing is a bit weak, but that isn't the reason I use it.It has a neat feature where you set the destination, and it gives you a simple map, with an arrow pointing towards the destination. You select the path you want to take by looking at the map or just randomly driving. You glance at the arrow occasionally to see if you are headed in the right general direction. Neat way to explore, yet still get to a destination.
Then there is Trapster and Waze. both are online maps with police and traffic camera warnings.
And of course Google maps, which are great for planning and searching, but limited on routing types.
I've tried Orux maps and a few others, but I just can't get used to them.

Lululemon markets its apparel under the brand names of lululemon athletica and ivivva athletica. Its products are designed to offer performance, fit and comfort while incorporating both function and style. The company also continues to broaden its product range to increasingly appeal to male athletes and athletic female youth. As of February 3, 2013, its branded apparels were sold through 135 stores in the United States, 51 stores in Canada, 23 stores in Australia and two in New Zealand.
Yesterday, Lululemon Athletica Inc. ( LULU ), a leading lululemon yoga-inspired athletic apparel and accessories retailer, posted better-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2013 results on the back of robust sales growth. The quarterly lululemon canada earnings per share of 39 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents but remained flat lululemon sale compared with the year-ago quarter.
The earnings of second-quarter Lululemon yoga pants fiscal 2012 included a benefit of 5 cents per share related to retroactive tax adjustment. Excluding that, Lululemons earnings for the quarter rose 14.7% on a year-over-year basis. However, a rise in input and operating costs, and higher lululemon outlet tax rate were the negatives for the quarter.

A man and a woman were reportedly driving on the I-5 just before 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Both were operating separate Kawasaki motorcycles when the female, who was slightly ahead of the male's motorcycle, lost control and hit the metal guard rail.
She was ejected from the motorcycle, and sustained fatal injuries.
The man braked quickly, prompting a skid on his motorcycle that caused minor injuries to his right knee.
The accident occurred when the motorcycles were headed northbound on the I-5 near Vista Del Lago Rd.

I'm considering a Valley Forge or Princeton Ulmus americana, but might also plant one of the hybrids due to my fear of Elm Yellows eventually making its way here and wiping the Americans out despite DED resistance. I've heard good things about some of the hybrid elms (usually derived from the Asian or European species out there)...most have good DED AND Elm Yellows resistance. What are some of the ones you've tried and recommend? Patriot and Accolade seem the most promising from what I've read...what can anyone tell me about those? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Because of planting Siberian elms decades ago, many sib/slippery elms hybrids are around -- some on my lot. The result is what you'd expect, about half the resistance to elm yellows and DED of sib elms. Instead of dying in months or a yr, they die slowly over 3-6 yrs. So that hybrid is no solution. From what I can tell, pure Siberian and Chinese elms are the only ones with solid resistance to these diseases. Edit: Elm yellows is more sporadic and localized than DED, so some areas can avoid it and a "Valley Forge" might be OK. But mine died in a mere month after showing symptoms. |

I haven't heard one way or the other about EY in my area. |
Prb'ly the only way to tell is observe elms in your area. If you really want it, plant an Amer elm & take your chances. Plant a Chinese elm if you want an elm, but don't want the risk. |

You see a fair number of Slippery elms around here and some American. Most look OK except that japanese beetles eat them like it's their last meal. |
Have you thought about trying Cedar Elm, native to Tx. and a few other adjacent states? |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Tue, Aug 13, 13 at 13:01
I'll check out Cedar Elm. Is it DED resistant? As far as the hybrids and Asian cultivars...it's rather confusing. I've read mostly good things about Accolade, that it's DED and Yellows resistant and not preferred as food for the elm leaf beetle or Japanese beetle, i.e., it has clean foliage. Form closest to "classic" American elm of any of them, but smaller leaves and finer texture. Triumph seems to get mixed reviews, mostly in that it has (at least in youth) a "messier" shape and weaker wood, probably because of the U. pumila that makes up about 1/4 of its gene pool. Patriot looks decent, but I've read it's leaves get decimated by insects. I know there are others as well... |
Cedar Elm is unaffected by DED down here. Unsure if the tree itself is resistant or we are just too hot and dry for DED to thrive. |

I'll try to get some pics next time. There are some elms planted around a Walgreens in Columbia, MD that look nice. I'm going to guess they are 'Accolade' - the leaves are too small to be U. americana, they're not U. parvifolia as the leaves are too large and the bark isn't right, and the foliage seems fairly unblemished and unbothered by leaf-feeding insects, unlike many other elms (U. parvifolia is usually not too bothered by them here). Last fall they turned a nice, clear yellow a couple weeks earlier than American Elms in the area. |

low as 10 μg/L, and no impacts have been observed in other buildings overlying groundwater concentrations as great as 10–100 mg/L (EPA, 2012b).
A number of commercial products can serve as indoor sources of chlorinated solvent vapors, so that interpreting indoor air quality and sub-slab soil gas data is not always straightforward (Gorder and Dettemmaier, 2011). As a case in point, approximately 3,000 residences overlie chlorinated solvent groundwater plumes originating from Hill Air Force Base, although monitoring has indicated that a very small percentage of the residences have indoor air impacts attributable to groundwater contamination. Detailed study beyond typical pathway assessment monitoring identified numerous indoor air sources of contaminants, including household cleaning products, craft supplies, gun cleaners, and holiday ornaments—leading to a list of 72 household products known to contain TCE and almost another 2,000 products known or suspected of containing chlorinated solvents.
A solid technical basis is lacking for determining which scenarios require indoor sampling and what sampling frequency and duration are appropriate, both over the short term (i.e., daily) and long term (i.e., seasonal). Studies suggest that vapor intrusion emissions into buildings can fluctuate on time scales ranging from days to weeks (Luo, 2009; Luo et al., 2010; Johnson et al., 2012). Research by McHugh et al. (2010) suggests that changes in indoor air concentrations may be different for chemicals emanating from groundwater than those emanating from indoor chemical sources, such that temporal data might be used to distinguish between indoor air impacts from these two sources. However, even with detailed indoor air monitoring data, the issue of temporal variability is further complicated by the dynamics of volatilization from the groundwater plume, which is affected by groundwater table elevation, moisture infiltration rates, moisture profiles, and other climate factors (Sakaki et al., 2013). In general, the temporal changes in the vapor emission rates from groundwater have yet to be studied in great detail and further study is needed to more intelligently design sampling plans.
Because the costs and complexity of vapor intrusion assessment have been increasing without a commensurate increase in the mechanistic understanding of the exposure pathway, the resulting response actions reflect a conservative management approach.
Monitoring of groundwater is conducted over the entire life cycle of a complex site and can represent a significant percentage of life-cycle costs if residual contamination remains after active remediation has been completed, especially when monitoring extends over multiple decades. Traditionally, the monitoring of temporal changes in groundwater contamination

I was up at Miller Supply Co. in Pittsfield recently, picking up a framing project, and while I was there I got to talking with Steve Miller, the owner. Miller's has been in Pittsfield for decades. I asked him whether something in an old store display was still available (it wasn't), and then I thought to ask: What do you have left that is really really old? One of the items he pointed me to: Vintage Ceiling Glitter — in silver and gold. He has just a half dozen or so containers left and, "When it's gone, it's gone," he said. Ceiling glitter: Yes, that was sure another "thing".
But I have some pressing questions:
- Golly, how do you install it? I see from the plastic container cover that guns were used — that, I get. I can go online today and see guns for blowing ceiling glitter. But "throw by hand"? You must be kidding me. What a bloody mess? How in the world? You must not only need to wear goggles but also a zoot suit. And the stuff is expensive — wouldn't you want to collect the excess and put it back in the gun? But then, that means your entire room would need to be 100% dust free, or else you would be also collecting dust, putting into a glitter gun and spraying it on the ceiling. Maybe there is no excess? Maybe it ALWAYS sticks, as long as the surface is tacky enough (see question below).
- Does it go on flat ceilings? Or popcorn ceilings?
- How do you ensure that the surface is all tacky? Do you spray paint fast with a spray gun canister thingie then quick quick quick get the glitter gun up and get the glitter on? Or, do you paint the ceiling with oil paint — which takes longer to dry and therefore is tacky longer — and then put up the glitter?
- What happens if you screw up?
This is a very intriguing product. I would love to figure out the answers to all these questions and maybe even try it — for the record — on a ceiling.
As you can see, this ceiling glitter was made, most recently at least, by Zinsser. That's the same company that today is famous for all kinds of wall preparation solutions. I believe they are owned by Rust-Oleum. Sure enough, when I googled a bit trying to look for ceiling glitter sold today, I only found examples from Zinsser, and all the listings that I found were sold out.
Like I said, if you are in the market, you can buy the last remaining stock from Miller Art & Frame, Pittsfield, Mass. There is not much left, though.
UPDATE: Reader Mark quickly identified another source of ceiling glitter and glitter guns available today. He wrote:
Check this out: https://www.warehousebay.com/catalog/glitter-gun-glitter/?osCsid=3e5e07bd7512ee8f7e2966e396400f17
Everything you need, both professional (pneumatic) & DIY (hand-crank) guns available, as well as glitter…
Thank you, Mark!
When were glitter ceilings introduced?
Some readers questioned whether this effect was truly "mid-century" — but we are pretty sure we have provenance back to the mid-1950s, at least. Mark says that his true storybook ranch, built in '56-57, had glitter on the ceilings (befitting a "Cinderella!") and Ranger Smith says the foyer of his '61 ranch had glitter on the ceilings, too. I would guess-timate that glitter ceilings were fairly popular throughout the 1960s and even into the Liberace 1970s, but then interest faded. Even so, they seem to have been continually available.
I NEEEEEEEEED a glitter ceiling!
The glitter chunks in my relatively-old Zinsser are pretty big – notably bigger than my crafty glitter. The label says that this ceiling glitter is all-aluminum.
I may use my two containers for artsy fartsy crafty projects. More likely, I will keep them in my my museum-of-Pittsfield-hoard. My precious……
Before they moved from North Street to their new (very googie) location on West Street, Miller's carried a lot of wallpaper. After they moved, which is after I truly discovered them, I raided their basement for many rolls of their new old stock vintage wallpaper. I have installed several patterns in the house. I adore Miller Supply Co.
I wanted to chime in on the ceiling glitter… My dad built the house I grew up in (mostly with his own hands — took 3 years), and one of the final touches when the house was finished in 1976 was a popcorn ceiling with glitter in the entire house. Most of the house was silver glitter, but the bedrooms had multicolor glitter. I vaguely remember workers coming in spraying on the popcorn and glitter with huge blower hoses. I was 9 years old when we moved into the house, and we kids thought the glitter ceiling was magic! Downside: for the first few months after moving in, we'd wake up with flecks of glitter on our faces.
We never had major problems when the ceiling got dusty near the ceiling vents or cobwebs in the corners: a quick, gentle visit with round dusting brush on the vacuum hose took care of it!
My sister redid the living room in her late 70s home a couple of years ago, including tearing out and replacing the ceiling. Yup, she did popcorn with glitter! Her husband used a glitter gun like the one John posted about above.
Also, Pam, big thanks for the site! I'm now living in a vintage 1964 apartment in Atlanta that still has its original knotty pine kitchen—which I pretty much hated until I found this site. Maybe you should change your tagline to "Love the HOME you're in," since you've helped me really appreciate my apartment.
You apply it to fresh paint on acoustic ceilings by putting in a squeeze bottle, to shoot out the glitter a little at a time, section by section. Practice, or a friend of mine that did it can give some pointers. He probably has amazing photos of his handiwork in one of the most significant MCM houses in Tucson, and would share them for your blog.
Ebay has clear ceiling glitter right now BIN. I think it is under 3 dollars a tub. I sooo bought some. (:
Not to be a dumb bunny, but couldn't you just pour the glitter in your ceiling paint and call it a day? That sounds easier than using a gun, even if I am a Texan, haha!
I have glittered ceilings throughout my house. It was built in 1995, but designed to mimic my mother's house, which was built in 1971. I didn't use metal flake ceiling glitter.. I used smaller 1/16 inch polyester glitter, 2 parts iridescent (It was called crystal disco) and 1 part silver mixed together. the smaller glitter doesn't turn dark when viewed at certain angles. It's very dazzling and brilliant. Just painted the ceiling one section at a time, and threw the glitter by hand while the paint was still wet. It takes finesse and the right touch, but I did a great job, and it turned out gorgeous, and still is 20 years later.
Just ordered " Crystal" ceiling glitter from : warehousebay.com
They also sell gold & silver at under $20.00 a pound.
Now, to find a blow gun . . .
Lowes sells "Paint Crystals" that you stir into paint before painting. The brand is Valspar. It looks much finer that the glitter shown in your post. I want to try it on a bathroom ceiling.

WATERTOWN, Mass., June 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the provider of the top medical app for U.S. physicians, Epocrates, Inc., an athenahealth company (Nasdaq:ATHN), serves as the conduit for organizations to deliver succinct and actionable content to clinicians at the point of care. The company has expanded collaborations with three industry-leading organizations— Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network ® (NCCN®)—to ensure valuable content is getting into the hands of the more than one million healthcare professionals in the Epocrates member network:
- CDC works with Epocrates to educate physicians on topics such as hepatitis screening for baby boomers, emergency response to blast injuries, immunization updates, emerging resistant bacteria and local disease outbreaks. Epocrates can micro-target alerts to clinicians by region or specialty to ensure that the most relevant content is being received in a digestible mobile format.
CDC has also hand-selected patient education handouts to be hosted on the Epocrates online product for clinicians to conveniently print for or email to patients before leaving the office. Popular patient-friendly handout topics include weight management and sexually transmitted infections.
- AHRQ provides a way for health professionals to access up-to-date information through the National Guideline Clearinghouse and issues comparative effectiveness reports that provide a basis for sound clinical decisions. Since clinicians are accustomed to relying on Epocrates, it is an organic extension for AHRQ's information to be readily available in the application. To date in 2013, Epocrates has selected more than 35 guidelines to be featured via its targeted DocAlert messaging system, delivering a total of 5,306,920 messages to clinicians' mobile devices. The timely and convenient delivery of these actionable guidelines has helped impact patient treatment in areas such as GERD, drug allergy and cancer screening.
Additionally, the popular AHRQ electronic preventive services selector tool (EPSS) is conveniently accessible within the free Epocrates app.
- Leveraging its expertise in translating complex or extensive information into a succinct, user-friendly format, Epocrates recently expanded its free app based on the industry-leading NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology ( NCCN Guidelines ® ). Oncologists and hematologists can quickly and intuitively navigate select NCCN Guidelines for prostate, breast and colon cancers, with additional tumor types forthcoming.
Created specifically for mobile devices, the four star-rated iPhone app provides quick access to NCCN Guideline content with minimum steps."Epocrates knows how to present information in a digestible format and has made the NCCN Guidelines tremendously easy to use," said Dr. Russell Pachynski of Palo Alto, Calif. "What can I say — they have a secret sauce that works. I know if it comes from Epocrates, it will have all the key info that I need and will be highly relevant to my practice."

QisDesign Flamenca 3.7" H Table Lamp
Inspired by the breathtaking movement of Flamenco dancer's ruffled skirt twirling around in the air, the Flamenca is an ambient light which captures the playfulness of this true essence. With a gentle touch on the metallic-like plate, the Flamenca echoes you with the ''dancing mode'' which creates a soft flowing effect. Pressing and holding on the plate, you may pause at any illumination you want and hold to turn off. The design is an exciting combination of bicolor acrylics and curvy shape that achieves dreamy and bewitching lighting effect. Designed for three fabulous colors, Flamenca is suitable for decorating in multiple lifestyle scenes, including the dining room, bedroom or any other preferable personal space. Passionate and zestful, Flamenco, a highly-expressive performing art is known for its emotional intensity and rhythmic stomping of the feet. Inspired by a fluttering flamenco dress, the Flamenca is an ambient light whose bi-color and curvy discs results in a strong colored lighting reflection. When users touch or put small decos on its metallic-like plate, the Flamenca will turn on the ''dancing mode'', circulating different yet beautiful lightness by itself. Not only does it resemble the colorful and wavy ruffles on a flamenco skirt, its changeable illumination also delivers the rich emotion of flamenco soul vividly, creating a delightful atmosphere to user's home.
QisDesign's creative team is led by Chief Design Officer Manfred Wang. Having graduated from the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design with a Master's degree in industrial design, coupled with strong experiences in Dr. Ing., h.c.F., Porsche AG, Wang plays a crucial role in fulfilling Qisdesign's ambitions for exquisite product creation.
Wang joined the BenQ Group in 2002, a company consisting of near 20 companies specializing in high value-added fields such as TFT-LCD, lifestyle applications, biotech, medical services, and brand management. With these ventures, the BenQ Group generated a revenue of $25 billion in 2010. Shortly after joining the company, Wang established BenQ's Lifestyle Design Center and introduced the concept known as the "meeting of opposites," which is a mix of Chinese and Western design concepts. Under Wang's leadership, the BenQ group has obtained more than 300 prestigious international design awards.

cute lamp yiting from New York, NY– Verified Buyer i thought it worked very well on my black head board to give the magic look, which it did esp the white colour. however, the wire is a bit short so it's a bit stuck at the position. it's also quite expense for what's getting. |
