Folica ExpertDifference Between MaterialsTo answer the first question, this iron can not be used in Asia. Ceramic irons can be infused with tourmaline, which helps to create a higher negative ion concentration to reduce frizz . Ceramic plates provide infrared heat which is gentler on the hair. You can find a ceramic flat iron. You can not purchase a tourmaline iron that is not ceramic. Titanium is a very strong metal and provides intense heat to tame the frizziest of hair. Titanium plates provide a very smooth glide over hair.

T.MidwestConcerns, Please HelpRecently I purchased Sedu's 1.5" Pro Ionic Ceramic Straightening Iron to tame my extremely frizzy root-to-ends, beyond shoulder-length, relatively fine-shafted and easily damaged, "Gilda Radner" type medium brown hair. I set it at 350F. The leading corner edge is extremely easy to accidently touch to the ears or neck as I have found and I have experienced a very bad burn on my neck due to this while manipulating around my longer hair. I do love the sleek-smooth ceramic plates in comparison to my drug-store iron and the end result the Sedu gives of softness, lack of burned-residue-scent, and natural smoothness and shine. My old iron had floating plates which seemed to help catch hair evenly without the drag I'm now getting from the Sedu at the contact point near it's leading end at the tip of the plates when it is hinged closed. (The plates when closed together do not touch flat-to-flat but contact only at a minor area near the tip due to design of hinge.) Thus I'm getting a dragging / stress issue on any given hair shaft when pulling iron trough hair, (not good). Also old iron had longer (4 inch) plate than does the Sedu (3-1/4 inch) which though would seem minor, makes the old one easier/quicker to style with. Disappointed also in lack of swivel in Sedu's nice chord. Thinking of returning & purchasing the new Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Styling Iron 1.5". What is the usable length of it's plate? Is the new plate's material makeup the same as the Pro Ionic's which had good straightening results? Is the hinge designed better so that the plates actually make complete and flat contact at all areas across the plates when closed? Also since heat up is so quick, while using, is the iron continuously reheating at temps higher than set at to maintain it's temp which could quickly cause damage with extended use? Having the controls of the Sedu Revolution located inside and appear raised near the plates seem as if they would inadvertantly catch on the hair during use; is this an issue? Thank you for your help in answering these concerns.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this post wasn't helpful.

Cold War or cool calculation?
13 May 2014 [16:34] -
By Ian Bremmer
President of Eurasia Group and the author of Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World.
With escalating violence in southern and eastern Ukraine and no solution in sight, the Ukraine crisis has become the world's most turbulent geopolitical conflict since that triggered by the terrorist attacks against the United States in 2001. The US-led sanctions strategy will neither deescalate the tensions between the West and Russia nor bolster the imperiled pro-Western Ukrainian government. But, even with tightening sanctions against Russia and growing violence in Ukraine, there is little chance that Cold War II is about to start.
The US approach has been to ratchet up sanctions in response to Russian aggression, while ensuring that America's allies remain united. At a recent joint press conference, President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced a new, lower threshold for additional sanctions. Previously, that threshold was a direct Russian military invasion; now, as Merkel explained, if Russia disrupts Ukraine's May 25 elections, "further sanctions will be unavoidable."
But Merkel and Obama also lowered the bar for what those "further sanctions" would be. Instead of launching sweeping sectoral measures that would target vast swaths of the Russian economy - a big step toward "Iran-like" sanctions against Russia - it now seems that the next round will be only incremental. The elections threshold makes another round of sanctions virtually certain, but allows the tightening to be more modest and gradual.
Why slow down the sanctions response? The Americans understand that if they go too far too fast, Europe will publicly break with the US approach, because the Europeans have a lot more at stake economically. Whereas the US and Russia have a very limited trade relationship - worth around $40 billion last year, or roughly 1% of America's total trade - Europe's financial exposure to Russia, as well as its reliance on Russian natural gas, make it far more hesitant to torpedo the economic relationship.
More important, dependence on Russia varies immensely across the European Union, impeding substantial coordination - and limiting the EU's alignment with the US. That is why, when the latest sanctions were announced, the Europeans issued a modest expansion of their existing list - primarily focusing on military and political officials - while the US went further, adding several Russian institutions. When the sanctions were announced, Russian markets rallied, a clear indication that the West's response fell far short of expectations.
Indeed, though the sanctions are having a real economic impact on Russia (particularly in spurring capital flight), tightening the screws further will not materially change Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision-making. Putin's Russia has too much at stake in Ukraine, and his actions have been overwhelmingly popular at home.
But, even as tensions escalate, with no hope of Russia backing down, the world is not headed toward anything resembling a new Cold War. For starters, America's interests in Ukraine do not justify putting troops on the ground, while Europe has been dragging its feet in supporting America's diplomatic position.
Moreover, Russia is in long-term decline. The economy and the government budget have become increasingly reliant on oil and gas; the wealthiest 110 Russians control more than one-third of the country's wealth; and Russia is far less capable militarily than it was in the Soviet era, with a defense budget roughly one-eighth that of the US. The demographic picture is bleak, with an aging population and a low fertility rate.
In order to form a coherent bloc that could oppose the US-led global order, Russia would need powerful friends, which it sorely lacks. When the United Nations General Assembly voted on the legitimacy of the Crimea annexation, only ten countries - neighbors in Russia's orbit (Armenia and Belarus), traditionally sympathetic Latin American countries (Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela), and rogue states (Cuba, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and Syria) - sided with the Russians.
The one country that could tilt the balance and establish a Cold War dynamic is China. But the Chinese have proved completely unwilling to pick one camp or the other, as they stand to benefit from more purchases of Russian energy exports and new opportunities as Western firms become more squeamish about doing business in Russia.
China can reap those rewards without angering its largest trade partners, the EU and the US. And China is hesitant to support a Russian effort to create turmoil within Ukraine's borders, given that its own restive provinces, such as Xinjiang and Tibet, could learn the wrong lesson from the Ukraine precedent.
So the good news is that we are not heading toward any kind of global war, cold or hot. But the consequences of a misguided Western policy are becoming more apparent. The US cannot successfully isolate Russia for not adhering to international law and seizing another state's territory. While other major emerging countries may not be rallying behind Russia, they are not subscribing to the US approach. Pushing for tougher sanctions will lead to a rift with Europe, while pushing Russia further toward China economically.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government is at risk. It lacks the military capacity to halt the separatist forces in the south and east but will face mounting domestic pressure and illegitimacy if it does not act.
The best path forward for the US is to offer more carrots for Ukraine, rather than more sticks for Russia. Thus far, the US has put up $1 billion in loan guarantees, which is far too little. The fledgling pro-Western government is losing ground to Russia on a daily basis; the West should focus on supporting it.
Obama and Merkel's press conference was symbolically useful in establishing a united front toward Russia, despite the two leaders' evident disagreement about how - and how much - to punish the Kremlin. But rallying around the Ukrainian government and putting their money where their mouths are - even when Ukraine fades from the headlines and new crises erupt - is more important for US and European interests, and represents a more viable path forward for both sides.

- Concept:
Mankind has long abandoned the simplicity of merely surviving. We exist today as builders and destroyers, living in a continual cycle of building, breaking, building and breaking. These actions also carry consequences, many of them are irreversible. Although ideas do not require manipulation of physical space, actions do. And these actions, whether they lead to creation or destruction, contribute to more entropy. It is strange that our fate is tied to the constant equilibrium of the two opposite forces. A mace is both a weapon and a building tool, and is made from the body of another living being. In a sense, everything that we see today is also created from the essences of other beings. And because we are the accumulated apex of those living things who willingly and unknowingly sacrificed for, we are responsible for the future of Earth-kind. Whether we choose to build for the better or destroy what we have, that is in the hands of the beholder.

While my cupcakes are baking, I usually get impatient. Sometimes I even sit on the floor in front of the oven and watch them rise! I had a little batter leftover, so I put it in a teacup and popped it in the microwave. About a minute later, I had a substance that looked like cake and kinda tasted like cake (with a "this-was-cooked-in-the-microwave" aftertaste). It kinda gives an old-fashioned meaning to the word "CUPcake" heheh :D

Pan Lids
I'm wondering how you store your pans and lids. I just got a new set of pans and I find that my lids stacked keep falling over and scratching them and the pans and I want to keep this set nice. Do you set lids up on their "sides"? And for the pans do you stack them inside each other. I need to conserve space, but I also want to keep them nice. thanks for any help you can provide me.
If you have a Lowes they have wonderful pull out storage for both pans and lids. They aren't cheap, but do the job. With the help of the little racks to add an extra "shelf" to your cabinets I'm able to keep the lids on each pan. If this way will work for you, it's a lot less expensive. I'll try to take photos later. It's about dinner time now.
I do stack some pots and pans, but if they have a non-stick coating, it can scratch it. I use to put a cardboard circle in a frying pan before I stacked a smaller pan inside. Now I use a corner stack unit I got at the container store. It holds the three frying pans I use most, and no stacking.
I have also put a lid on the pot upside down, and then stacked a smaller pot on the lid.
Good idea with the racks!!
I do have some of them in other cupboards. I have one that holda 2 baskets for little things like extra spices and things like jello and puddings. My baggies and saran and stuff sit below. I have a small one that holds pie plates and my 9x13 pan and square cake pans stack below. I have some in my plate cupboard. However I never thought to use them for pots and pans. I think a trip to the hardware store is in order
Oh, a corner rack...I could put two in the back corners and take care of the frying pans and then maybe one in the front corner for a couple of my stock pots. Today I found a thing for separating the pan lids or cookie sheet kinds of things...I used it for now for pan lids, but the corner things would let me keep the lid with the pan and then I could move that rack over and put some of my pampered chef stuff in it so they aren't stacked inside each other....I'm going to have to look into that....thanks for the great idea!
I have many pots and pans and the lids storage issue makes me crazy. Since there are only so many pot sizes, I can use one lid for several pots/pans. IKEA sells 3 sizes of flat lids with fold down handles so they don't take up more space that say, dinner/salad plates.
I purchased all three sizes and tested them for 4 months to see if I could do without some of the original lids. They work and store beautifully and gave me the courage to get rid of some of the lids--which is hard since the pots/pans are rather expensive brands.
Except for the frypans, my pots are all stainless steel with no teflon. I put the three big pots inside each other with the lids stacked on top. (We have very deep, tall shelves under the counter top.) The smaller pots are also stacked in the same way. The teflon coated fry pans go in the drawer under the stove with a dishtowel between each. Eventually, I hope to replace them with pans that do not have the non-stick coating.
Lids were once the bane of my existence and my kitchen life changed when I took a removable plate rack out of my dishwasher and realized it would work to hold lids. I put it in the cupboard above the stove and put lids in it - it sits sideways, so I can see all the lids from the side. The dishwasher is long gone (as per my other thread about drawers in its place) but I cling to that rack from it.
My mom just bought what I think is actually a holder for a paper towel roll (the roll would lay in it sideways) from Ikea and hung it on a rail above her stove... that's where her lids are now destined to live. For me that would expose them to too much spatter, but I may be a messier cook :-)
My pots are placed upside down in a drawer with the bigger ones fitting over the smaller ones. That works better the closer the handles are to the top of the pot, wouldn't work as well if they attach at mid-height.
This is the vertical storage of my frypans, of which I have many (doubles of four sizes plus a large wok, chicken fryer, and paella pan). This is a 30" base cab on the RH side next to my range:
The pots and other lids are in this cart which serves as a center island. I don't have a photo of both doors open, sorry. The blue 'stackers' are cloth/foam starburst forms that allow you to stack non-stick. I never stack more than 3 pots high anyway as I'm always grabbing one of them! The closed door side has a small-lid organizer on the inside of the door, and a shelf. The shelf holds vertical organizers for the big heavy lids that fit various frypans. The bottom (floor) shelf holds a duplicate stewpot and duplicate 3-qt saucepot, again stacked with the blue cushioning.
My kitchen is a U-shape with the range at the center. With the base cab and cart holding all the cooking pans, it's just a step or two to grab whatever I need. Baking equipment and roasting/cookie sheets are in vertical organizers in both upper and base cabs to the left of the range, as my baking ingredients are in the left corner Lazy Susan. The KA mixer, blender and food processor are hidden from casual sight by the refrigerator (you can just see the very edge of the refrig on the far LH side of the photo). I can keep them plugged in and ready to use, without having them in the way of my prep space.
Our kitchen, which we remodeled originally in 1989 and then updated again in 2003, is large for the size of the overall house. This is a small 2 bd cottage and when we redesigned the 850 sq. ft. main floor into an open plan, the kitchen was expanded to a 9x13 U-shape. The room is another 4' deeper but we keep that as open aisle space since it leads to a back staircase we use all the time. This photo shows how the range, RH base cab and cart are all within a few steps of the sink and DW.
I have been using a plate as a lid for those pots that are not oversized. I was able to get rid of many lids with this method.
Jkom51, I love your way of organizing the frying pans. I've seen those "holders" and could never figure out what they'd be good for. Now I know.
I downsized my pots and pans, kept what I use most of the time, matched each lid with a pot, threw out the rest, and they are stored on a revolving stand. Same with frying pans, downsized them, and got 2 lids. All others went out.
After all, you usually can cook 4-6 pans at a time.
I've picked up some great ideas. I have quite a few pots and frying pans that I never use from year to year. I have lids that have not been used in years. Typically, when I cook, I use a piece of foil to cover my pot because I don't want to look for the lid. I think I'll go through them and get rid of everything I have not used in 2 years.
Sorry it's taken me so long to get this picture posted, but every time I thought of it there was at least one pan in the dishwasher.
I have a one set of pots a deep pot for corn on the cob and a couple saute pans. The saute pans don't have lids, but I have some from my set that work so I use them. The saute pans are under the cooktop. I didn't take pictures of them since they just sit inside each other. Nothing special.

Wireless thermometer mystery
My bedside clock radio has a wireless outdoor thermometer. Occasionally, when the battery dies, the readout stops. No surprise there.
Last year I was pressure washing the windows, and a few days later the temperature stopped displaying. I opened the window and retrieved the remote sensor. The battery case was a little wet, but I didn't think anything of it. A few days later the temp display stopped again, and, deep thinker that I am, I finally remembered the pressure washing. I took the batteries out and let the unit dry out. It never recovered.
One night, months later, I noticed the exterior temp was displayed. The sender was long gone, but the display was picking up the outdoor temp... from somewhere.
My neighbor's house is probably 30' away from my radio, the next house maybe 50. I haven't noticed any obvious weather station gizmos sticking out of their house, and can't imagine a little sensor would have that much range anyhow.
Yet I am getting the interior AND exterior temps, tho the ext temp quits every now and then - but always comes back.
And it's a mystery to me. Anyone have any ideas??? The temp it displays seems to be accurate. Someday I'll have to ask the neighbor if he has anything that would transmit the temperature.
(this is also the type of radio that picks up the national time beacon)
at our old shop we had one like that in teh manager's office. the outdoor unit was actually mounted 325' away inside our tower building. this was so he could tell easily if it was getting too hot in there. the AC unit refused to start on it's own after any power blip, thus the need for the sensor. it sure beat sloshing out there in mud and water to see if everythign was cooling fine.
so you could be picking up anybody's transmitter!

"My car is full of this stuff. We're breathing this stuff. It's hazardous," she added.
Finwall lives about a mile away from a sand mining operation that took the blame for contaminating a city property near its eastern boundary in May.

Tebow rallies Denver against Houston
Tim Tebow won on several fronts Sunday.
NFL Weekly Stat LeadersCheck out which players had the gaudiest numbers this week.
Stat Leaders
By rallying the Denver Broncos past the Houston Texans 24-23, the raw rookie from Florida secured not only his first victory as a pro but he won over the fans who have suffered through the franchise's worst slump in almost 40 years and were jeering the conservative play calling as the team trudged off the field at halftime.
''He definitely stepped up and gave the fans what they wanted,'' wide receiver Brandon Lloyd said. ''And as a player, he gave us what we needed.''
More importantly, Tebow took Denver (4-11) out of the running for the No. 1 draft pick in April, which figures to be Stanford star quarterback Andrew Luck.
John Elway, who is expected to join the Broncos soon as their chief football executive, is a big fan of the best passer Stanford has produced since, well, himself, and he said last week that Denver would have to seriously consider selecting Luck if he were available.
Now, Luck figures to be headed not to the Rocky Mountains but to the Blue Ridge Mountains as Carolina secured the top draft pick Sunday with wins by Denver and Cincinnati.
Tebow scored on a 6-yard scramble with three minutes left in his first home start, capping a comeback from a 17-0 halftime deficit.
''Things weren't going well early, but we kept fighting, kept believing in each other,'' Tebow said.
Matt Schaub was driving the Texans (5-10) for a go-ahead score when rookie cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson picked off a pass intended for wide-open tight end Owen Daniels, who had already caught eight passes for 73 yards and a score. But it was deflected at the line by Justin Bannan and settled into Thompson's arms at the Broncos 27 with just over a minute remaining.
''It was like a dream,'' Thompson said. ''The ball was floating in the air so long. I had to go pluck it.''
Schaub lamented that ''if I can get that one in O.D.'s hands, he might score on that play.''
The Texans were probably already in field-goal range. Neil Rackers had converted a 54-yarder that tied his career-longest field goal and then nailed a 57-yarder that tied the franchise mark, both in the third quarter.
Tebow turned the jeers from the crowd miffed at conservative play calls in the first half into delirious cheers by driving Denver for scores on each of its four second-half drives.
''I've never seen a winner lose. He's a winner,'' Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said. ''And I expect him to win a lot of games as a pro quarterback. Hopefully, I'm around here to see him do it.''
Tebow's future in Denver seems much more secure than Bailey's.
NFL's best images of 2010Check out a year in amazing photos from the NFL.
A nine-time Pro Bowl selection still at the top of his game, Bailey might have played his last snap for Denver if he has to sit out the season finale against San Diego next week after re-injuring his right heel. He'll be a free agent after this season.
But this was a night for the Broncos and their fans to celebrate Tebow's first pro win along with interim coach Eric Studesville's first triumph in three games since replacing Josh McDaniels and not to ponder Bailey's uncertain future.
Tebow's heroics helped the Broncos avoid a franchise-record 12th loss. He threw for 308 yards but when it mattered most, he used his legs to give the Broncos their first win since Nov. 14.
On second-and-goal from the 6, Tebow faked the quarterback draw, raised up to throw it but found Eddie Royal covered. So, he tucked the ball and sprinted toward the left pylon, beating defensive tackle Earl Mitchell into the end zone to give Denver its first lead at 24-23 with 3:02 remaining.
Tailback Correll Buckhalter's 23-yard catch and run on a screen pass from Tebow pulled Denver within striking distance at 23-17 with 10:55 left. Buckhalter was subbing for Knowshon Moreno, who injured his ribs in the first half.
Tebow's first home start drew such loud applause that he had to motion for the crowd to quiet down as he trotted onto the field for his first series. His first two throws went for 22 yards each, but his third throw to Lloyd was easily picked off by cornerback Jason Allen in the end zone.
''Terrible decision,'' Tebow said.
Even with Tebow starting ahead of Kyle Orton, the announced crowd of 67,974 was the smallest in the decade that Invesco Field has been open. There were 5,717 no-shows.
And they booed the team off the field at halftime over its conservative playcalling.
LET'S DO THISCan Alex Smith do the unthinkable and lead the Niners to the Super Bowl? Championship round preview.
The safe screen passes were replaced in the second half by deep throws that thrilled Tebow and the fans alike.
Tebow, who was 16 for 29, hit Jabar Gaffney for 50 yards on a deep post that set up Buckhalter's 6-yard TD run just four plays into the third quarter. He hit a leaping Lloyd for 41 yards on the next drive.
''I was excited about that - to be able to take some shots and be aggressive,'' Tebow said.
Rackers' 57-yarder gave Houston a 23-10 after three quarters, but for the sixth time in the last two months the Texans lost after being tied or holding the lead in the fourth quarter.
''It's the same old story,'' cornerback Glover Quin said.
Although Orton said he's been told Tebow would start the finale, neither Studesville nor Tebow would confirm that.
''We are going to enjoy this one right now,'' Studesville said.
Notes: Jacoby Jones caught five passes for 115 yards in place of Houston star receiver Andre Johnson (ankle). ... Arian Foster, the league's leading rusher, gained 91 yards on 19 carries and scored a TD.

Information leads to incentive for franchisees: using an Internet portal as an effective tool helps shape a system-wide ethos of healthy competition.
MyVerlo.com serves as a comprehensive, integrated online portal for everyone in the company, from our 250 salespeople, to the 28 owners of our 80 franchised stores, to mid-level management at our headquarters, right up through to our executive offices. Throughout the day and week, the site offers a wide variety of helps to everyone in the system, including online sales training, information about our marketing and advertising campaigns, a count of the number of visitors to our public Web site and templates for e-mail and instant-messaging communications within the company.
But by far the most exciting and productive use of the portal is how it allows franchisees and their salespeople to monitor their individual performances on a regular basis and, to a great degree, see in black and white how they stack up against other franchisees, stores and salespeople in the system. Franchises are ranked together on the site according to measures including their actual sales volume and their average sales ticket. The site also makes available to franchisees projections of monthly and annual sales performance, based on past trends. It also gives franchisees "dashboard" views of real-time store traffic, phone traffic, sales volume (by salesperson) and average ticket trends. This traffic stream is provided by an in-store system we designed and had built by a local manufacturer to help franchisees better monitor what goes on in their stores, even when they aren't in them personally.
Exclusive Data
Franchisees also have another level of information available to them on the portal: data on how each of their individual salespeople is performing in terms of gross revenues, average ticket and other measures. This data on each franchise is exclusive to that particular franchisee and isn't shared with all the other franchisees in the system. Each franchisee decides how much of this information he or she wants to share with his or her own salespeople, so they can benchmark themselves against their peers.
The sharing of this information creates an open and competitive culture that has helped our system achieve growth since we started developing our corporate intranet in 1998. But our expansion has been particularly strong in the last several years as we foster an entrepreneurial spirit among franchisees and salespeople, motivating them to impress upon customers not only the quality and price-performance characteristics of our mattresses but also our customer-satisfaction ethos.
Every 10 days, the portal updates sales information by individual salesperson and by each overall franchise operation, based on point-of-sale data that is provided by the stores themselves. There's never any question about how well a franchise or a salesperson is doing; all the data is available in black-and-white. It helps franchisees evaluate whether their current position is a result of what they're doing, what the company is doing, what the economy is doing or some combination of all three factors. If their average ticket is $600 and the franchisee across the state line is pulling in $925 a ticket, a franchisee knows exactly what challenge is ahead. If our projections show that one of a franchisee's stores is expected to significantly outperform the others, he or she can leverage that information into an action plan for the salespeople at the under-performing stores.
Veil protects franchisees
We stop short of making information available online that would or could embarrass any franchisees or salespeople. For franchisees, for example, we certainly don't post profits or margins, and we don't share sales or other results for their individual stores, only for their entire enterprises; and for salespeople, no one will ever be able to find out on the portal what sort of salary or commissions any individual employee is earning. There remains a veil over certain information that protects franchisees and their employees from useless or destructive pinpointing.
Yet savvy franchisees are able to match the data available on the Web site, put it in the hopper along with their own personal understanding of one another, analyze these and other factors and draw important insights about where their own franchise stands in the pack. There's an informed expectation that allows them to draw some conclusions and make some observations about their peer group of franchises and their own standing within the group and then take whatever actions they deem desirable or necessary within their own operations.
In large part, the way the Internet portal is used reflects our corporate conviction that what gets measured, gets improved: if you continue to monitor your progress on basic measures such as sales and close rates, you'll inherently work to improve them. This constantly helps franchisees measure themselves to their own goals.
Another advantage for the corporate portal is that is becomes the focal point of communications among franchisees, rather than some separate forum that forms outside the organizational umbrella. Within the typical franchise organization, of course, small groups of franchises form for the purposes of sharing information and best practices, overall encouragement or, sometimes, commiseration. What we've done in part with MyVerlo.com is get out ahead of this tendency of franchisees and for them to look at the portal as a way to understand what's going on not only across the company but also with other franchisees. In that way, the portal is a powerful medium for building communications and camaraderie among franchisees and with the central office.
Not everyone needs it
Given the usefulness of sharing performance numbers so broadly, and the safeguards that we have built in, we have had almost no complaints from franchisees about the bulletin-boarding that we offer on the portal. Of course, that doesn't mean that all of our franchisees embrace the information sharing and the technology with equal fervor. For example, Ray Westman, a franchisee who owns three stores between Chicago and Rockford, Ill., doesn't access the comparative information on the portal.
"We're all in different markets, so it's not like the information is about someone who's competing with you across the street and doing better or worse than you in the same market," says Westman. "It's nice to see that you're doing better than some and worse than other franchisees. But what does that give you? It's not going to make me work any harder at doing better because I'm tenth rather than fourth. I'm always going to try to do better because better is better."
Franchisees aren't forced to embrace it or even use the portal; it's just a tool to help them. We keep improving it so that it becomes nearly an irresistible tool to our franchisees. We provide eight online modules that cover a variety of topics, ranging from "sales and body language" to industry-specific subject matter such as "Side-by-Side Selling." Extensive and growing use of these tools by our sales-people systemwide has helped our system improve average ticket over the last four years. Our close rates, which have increased more than 25 percent over the same time period, now are more than double the national average for a sleep shop. And sales of our mattresses with a value of more than $1,000 at retail have tripled in the last four years.
The portal helps our company advance other corporate goals as well among franchisees. For instance, the visitor-traffic counts that we make available on the site help franchisees to understand the importance of our public Web site in generating sales leads. It's important for our franchisees to know that Verlo.com generates more unique traffic for our company than any of our stores does, individually. This trend also reminds franchisees that consumers increasingly are doing their homework before they stop by our stores or our competitors' and that; as a result, they and their salespeople had better know their stuff. The information also helps legitimize our marketing priority of putting our Web site address in all of our advertising and, in turn, helps justify the significant corporate investments that we make in it and the portal.
It's possible for franchisees to know too much about one another. But the way we handle the power of information on our portal, it's become an effective tool for shaping a system-wide ethos of healthy competition.
Dave Young is the president of Verlo Mattress Factory Stores. He can be reached at 262-473-8957 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ashes - Strauss salutes 'outstanding' England
Captain Andrew Strauss saluted his players for an outstanding tour after England completed a crushing innings and 83-run victory to win their first Ashes series on Australian soil in 24 years.

Australia's last three batsmen were dismissed shortly before lunch on the fifth day to seal the five-Test series 3-1, and England celebrated wildly in front of thousands of joyous supporters at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
"It's been an outstanding tour so far," said an elated Strauss, whose quick-fire 60 on day two set the tone for his team's record innings of 644.
"The guys can be very, very proud of what they've achieved, not just the players but the backroom staff as well."
After a draw in the opening match in Brisbane, England won the second by an innings and 71 runs in Adelaide, only for the hosts to claim a 267-run victory in Perth.
England recovered spectacularly in Melbourne, thrashing Australia by an innings and 157 runs to retain the Ashes, but were quick to wrap up the celebrations ahead of Sydney.
Strauss praised pace bowler James Anderson and man-of-the-match and series Alastair Cook, whose 766 runs anchored England's batting throughout the series.
"Alastair has been outstanding. When you're talking about the likes of Wally Hammond and people like that, he's really had an amazing series.
"Jimmy Anderson in tough conditions has been outstanding as well ... You can't really pick one or two players out of the team because everyone's delivered at different times and that generally is a recipe for success.
"It's what we knew we needed to do at the start of the tour and all credit to the players, they've stood up and delivered."
Strauss also paid tribute to batsman Paul Collingwood, who announced his retirement from Test cricket on Thursday.
"Massive loss. There's certainly a tinge of sadness there for us ... Colly's been one of the great servants of the game, there's no doubt about it.
"He kind of epitomises what this team's all about. He'll be sorely missed."
The Sydney Test victory made Strauss the first captain to win a series victory in Australia since Mike Gatting led the tourists to a 2-1 victory in 1986/87.
It was all the more special for the 33-year-old, who was a member of the team that arrived with the urn in 2006/07 but handed it straight back in humiliation after a 5-0 whitewash.
The Sydney Cricket Ground will hold far more precious memories for the England team, whose "Barmy Army" of supporters sang and chanted in celebration throughout the morning.
"We've truly valued all the support we've had over all five Test matches ... A lot of the time it's felt like a home game," said Strauss, who also thanked the players' families as "probably out greatest supporters."
"They deserve it every bit as much as we do."

I'm trying to validate a comment form using AJAX/PHP, very nearly done now except the strip_tags function in php doesn't seem to remove all elements. Here's what I have:
$msg = $_POST['message'];
$msg = strip_tags( $msg );
This function only seems to be removing the closing tags. E.g.
<div> entered into the message box is not being removed where
</div> is being removed.
I want to literally remove every html element in the message. How do I achieve this?
Thanks, Dan.
I feel like a complete idiot!
I have a validate function separate from my show comment function and just realised my mistake. I was never running strip_tags on the message I was displaying!
Anyway, thanks for trying to help!
