How Helping Your Clients Can Help Your Firm
Public accountants wear many hats, ranging from tax professional for individuals and business or nonprofit entities, to bookkeeper, payroll service provider, strategic business consultant and financial advisor, virtual CFO, and even the sleuth role of an auditor. At the same time, you're a small business owner and employer, too, which means you face many of the same challenges that your small business clients do.
Considering the important role that you play in the success of your small business clients, it makes sense that they turn to you for many other needs. So whether you've made technology consulting a part of your practice or not, it makes sense that if you discover a product or service that might help your clients be more productive in their day-to-day business, that you share the information with them. After all, your firm's success depends on the success or your clients and on your reputation as a business expert. Not to mention that successful and growing small business clients will likely need additional and potentially more profitable services from you in the future.
With current economic realities, nearly every business is trying to find ways to do more with less, be more productive, to find new channels for revenue potential and to maximize the potential of their resources, whether financial, real property or their staff. Of course, every industry has unique needs, and every individual business has particular issues that aren't necessarily common. So few technologies exist that can help every kind of organization, even though it sometimes seems that they all claim to be the perfect one-size-fits-all solution.
There are, however, many specialty products and services available designed to meet very particular niche situations. This special section identifies some of the technologies we've found that offer significant advantages to various types of small businesses that many small and mid-sized accounting practices have as clients.
The goal: Finding solutions that your clients can use to be more efficient and productive.
The result: A financially stronger client, and a strengthened client relationship for your firm.
Sage Billing Boss
Target Small Business Type: Service-based small businesses and freelancers/consultants, providing web-based creation and management of invoices.
Overview: BillingBoss is a free web-based system for creating, sending and tracking the status of invoices, providing an easy-to-use interface and features that include setting up recurring invoices, creating quotes, customer management options, and the ability to add custom design elements to invoices, such as a company logo. The web-based nature of the program means that the small business owner/manager can access the invoicing system from anywhere, and can even offer access to their public accountant. The system can be used in conjunction with merchant accounts or users can accept credit card payments using their smartphone. Mobile versions of the system are offered for iPhone, Android and Blackberry.
BillingBoss offers customization options for default messages and the ability to set up tax rates for those in jurisdictions where services are subject to sales tax. Client data management includes multiple company contacts, email and other information, and data can be imported and exported from/to CSV files. The system is also offered in multiple languages and supports multiple currencies, and the management dashboard shows an easy-to-understand array of data, such as outstanding, past due and paid invoices. Basic invoicing reports are also available.
Potential Benefits: For small service-based businesses, BillingBoss offers a very easy-to-use system for managing invoices. It takes only a few minutes to set up, and it's completely free, although some add-ons are available for merchant account services and mobile payment acceptance. For those small clients who just can't handle a full bookkeeping system, BillingBoss makes it easy for them to at least manage the basics in an electronic/online format that's easy for them to share with their accountant.
Sage Payment Boss
Target Small Business Type: Mobile small business owners/contractors who want an easy way to accept credit card payments while on the road, using either their existing merchant service accounts or using services provided by Sage Payments.
Overview: Payment Boss gives small businesses the power to quickly receive credit card payments. By simply logging into a mobile website on their smartphone, users can enter transaction details and the credit card information. No need for a swiper (but they do work with the system) and no need for a bulky credit card terminal. The system automatically authorizes the transaction and processes the payment into the business' account, creates a paid invoice and can send an e-receipt to the customer.
The system also integrates with Sage Billing Boss, a free web-based invoicing system, which provides basic customer management and electronic billing tools. Together, the systems provide industry-standard banking security features, simplified processing, consolidated account management and up-to-the-minute tracking of payments. It also makes it easy to see who's paid and who hasn't, from any location.
Potential Benefits: For small businesses looking for an easy way to accept credit cards, Payment Boss offers a simplified and mobile solution. This is especially handy for contractors and service providers like electricians, HVAC and landscaping. An additional and not minor benefit is that the business can get paid immediately instead of relying on invoicing and waiting for a check.
Big E-Z Bookkeeping
Target Small Business Type: Very small businesses and individual contractors who need a very simplified basic bookkeeping system.
Overview: For some clients, even the off-the-shelf small business bookkeeping systems can be either more than they need or more than they are realistically going to use. These are the barely-above-a-shoebox kind of clients, and almost every accounting firm has them. What Big E-Z does is give them a checkbook-like system that helps track income, expenses, account balances and credit cards, and even provides basic budgeting.
Additional tools allow users to set up to 65 expense categories and 12 income subcategories, quickly run period summary reports and track fiscal and calendar years. Big E-Z also comes with a receipt organizer. The program is much more limited than many of the big brands, but that's the point: It gives these small business owners (and personal users) the basic tools they need, with common language terminology and reports that are easy enough to use that they actually will use it. Of course, that helps their accountant, too.
Big E-Z uses Excel (2003 or newer) for data management behind the scenes (so users don't need to know anything about spreadsheets), and includes reconciliation functions and customization options. The full program costs $59 for a single user (multi-user versions also available), and can be downloaded or bought by CD.
Potential Benefits: For very small businesses that's still manage their books manually (or not at all), Big E-Z offers a very affordable and, more importantly, extremely simple-to-use program that even most non-tech savvy users can pick up in a few minutes.
Zachary Systems eZ Account Import
Target Small Business Type: Businesses that want to run paperless, but have multiple incoming file types that need to be converted and imported into their QuickBooks bank registers.
Overview: The eZ Account Import utility gives a simple three-step process for downloading and importing financial information from financial institutions, whether they are in various Quicken, Money or Excel formats. Once the data is set up and mapped, the information can be automatically downloaded in real-time, with users able to quickly add transactions directly into QuickBooks and have each one's status displayed. Advanced mapping features also allow eZ to memorize payee, account, class and customer information for future transactions.
The system offers full integration with the chart of accounts, lists and transactions in QuickBooks, and allows import of checks, deposits, receipts and payments, while other key features include the ability to split transactions, display debit and credit totals, filtering tools and tracking and billing of customers for expenses, with the added ability to set billable status for each transaction. The vendor also offers a credit card data import system that allows importing of those transactions into the QuickBooks register.
Potential Benefits: eZ Account Import and eZ Credit Card Import help small businesses transfer financial data into QuickBooks in a fast and accurate way, helping to reduce data-entry time and erros, and also helping speed reconciliation processes.
Target Small Business Type: Small businesses, especially self-employed contractors and professional services companies who want a simple invoicing utility with e-delivery, management and collaboration tools.
Overview: FreshBooks was one of the original web-based customer billing systems, giving users a quick tool for creating invoices and estimates, and offering multiple templates and options for customization. The system goes further, however, by providing interactive tools that allow the customer (the person/business being invoiced) to log into a secure portal where they can view, download and upload data, based on the permissions and settings that the FreshBooks business has predetermined. Single- and multi-user versions are available, and user-level access rights can also be set up for differing staff and employee roles.
The online application also provides dozens of reporting options and allows managing of up to four tax rates. Users can set up default email messages, late payment reminders and other customer communications. FreshBooks has built-in online payment functions that work with PayPal, Google Checkout, Authorize.net, iTransact and other merchant services.
Customer data can be imported from CSV files and contact management programs, and users can create groups of companies and contacts, including multiple contacts per company, with varying levels of log-in access rights. FreshBooks also offers support for project management and vendors, with those contractors able to log in to submit time and invoices. Additionally, the program has inventory tracking tools and per-item tax settings. Other tools include built-in timers, expense tracking and billing, support tickets, and specialized apps for all major smartphones.
Potential Benefits: FreshBooks makes it easy to manage invoices and offers good reporting options for a web-based SMB invoicing program. Multiple user settings and customer portal access and payment options really further its collaboration capabilities, allowing small businesses to get paid faster, while also managing customer relationships.
Target Small Business Type: Any business or individual who is frequently mobile and deals with incoming paper-based data that needs to be transferred into their computer.
Overview: NeatReceipts is a program that works with a scanner to automatically identify the information scanned on a document, particularly receipts, business cards and forms, and then organizes that information. The result is a scanned PDF document instead of an image, and with all of the words on the document searchable and easily organized.
As its name might imply, the program specializes in receipts, simplifying the input of expense reports. The optical character recognition (OCR) functions automatically looks for the date and amount of the transaction, sales taxes, the vendor name and contact information. NeatReceipts is equally adept at business cards, with the system capturing contact name, company, phone, email and other contact information. It then allows users to create a contact in their Outlook or other content management system. For other documents, the PDF output offers simple keyword searching. NeatReceipts offers export of data into PDF, Excel, Quicken and QuickBooks.
Potential Benefits: NeatReceipts can help speed up and increase the accuracy of expense reporting and provides good digital records for tax purposes; much better than a shoebox. For professionals who receive a lot of business cards, the system can save considerable time by virtually eliminating manual data entry when creating new contacts.
NELiX TransaX QuickBooks Module
Target Small Business Type: Any business that wants to accept credit and debit card payments, whether mobile, in-store, over-the-phone or online.
Overview: NELiX TransaX is a payment acceptance system with a QuickBooks integration module that allows for multiple methods of cashless payment processing. In other words, credit, debit and ACH payments. Through this system, small and mid-sized businesses can use merchant accounts for Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, and the vendor offers hardware such as point-of-sale swipe terminals for accepting debit and credit payments from customers.
TransaX also offers payment gateways, which are software programs used for non-swipe transactions, such as phone-based and online sales where the credit card isn't physically present at the retail location, and help with verification and security of transactions. They also support recurring payments; allow for direct-from-checking (ACH) payments, refunds, reissues and voids; and provide export of data to QuickBooks format.
Other products from the vendor include merchant cash advance services, gift/loyalty debit cards and ATM machine sales. NELiX specializes in custom database solutions, web application, site design and QuickBooks hosting.
Potential Benefits: While there are some per-transaction options on the market, businesses that rely on a significant part of their revenue coming from card-based transactions should really implement a true merchant account system such as TransaX, which provides top-level security, excellent integration and lower per-transaction costs.
Target Small Business Type: Professional services businesses that want a simplified invoicing, reporting and time and expense tracking system, with the benefits of mobility.
Overview: B2BEE is an online system centered around its invoicing features, but offering considerably more, including customer portals for viewing invoices, strong reporting options, branding customization, time and expense tracking, creation of estimates and user-defined dashboards that let you quickly see critical issues like aging, trends and new clients.
The program opens into a web interface that is YourCompanyName.GetTheBee.com, which also provides customers with the ability to log in and see the invoices or other information the business wants to share. The system's customer management features include integration with BaseCamp and offers vendor-specific customization, while basic inventory management, sales taxability settings and reporting functions also offer good capabilities.
The Bee's primary focus, however, is on time-based billing (and expense tracking and billing), and the program offers the ability to create multiple users with varying access rights, as well as groups. Work can be assigned to client projects and tasks, with billing rates set by customer, project, task or staff member. Users can either enter data directly or use a timer. Creating invoices from timesheets is a snap, and they can be printed or an email can be sent to the customer with a link to view their invoices and estimates.
Potential Benefits: B2Bee is more than just invoicing, but that's what it really does the best, especially for small businesses that are primarily service-based. The Bee gets an A for user-friendly interface. As an aside, the company is also helping to educate people on the crisis facing the flying kind of bee, upon which much of the world's agriculture relies on for pollination.
Target Small Business Type: Businesses with multiple units, revenue centers or other holdings that may be using different instances of QuickBooks at geographically dispersed sites.
Overview: Qvinci started in 2007, providing "data aggregation" for QuickBooks, but it's new web-based system extends this powerful reporting tool by making it easy to sync data from multiple instances of QuickBooks, even different versions, using an automated and secure web-based utility.
In short, what the program does is let the user reach out to all of the different areas of the business (or multiple businesses) for which he or she wants to produce reports, and allows them to compile and contrast the data, side by side, in almost any manner desired. This can be by company, division, sales teams or other business sub-entities, with all data presented in real-time through the browser interface. The administrator can also set up login capabilities for other users, such as managers, investors or financial advisors, allowing them the same access to anytime, anywhere reporting without using QuickBooks to view the reporting.
Qvinci.web uses top-level security features and only accesses transaction data, not sensitive data such as SSNs or credit card or account numbers. The simple interface makes it easy to view reports across all areas of a business, quickly generating comparisons of balance sheets, cash flows, ratios, forensic analyses, AR aging, AP, sales, sales by rep, sales by item, net revenue or virtually any other data.
Potential Benefits: Since Qvinci.web can instantly pull in data from these various business units, it gives users a powerful tool that keeps them on top of all areas of their organization. And its consolidation capabilities let users quickly create rolled up P&Ls, compare groups or other tasks that involve hundreds or even thousands of files, doing it in seconds instead of hours or days.
Fujitsu – ScanSnap S1100 & S1500
Target Small Business Type: Small businesses with frequent need to convert documents into digital format, including mobile staff.
Overview: Many accounting professionals have found Fujitsu's ScanSnap line to be a productivity boost, and it's likely that their small business clients will, too. Whether using the desktop S1500 model, or the ultra-portable (even pocketable) S1100, users get the ability to quickly scan full-color documents, business cards, receipts or other items, with the included software instantly creating searchable PDFs, Word or Excel files.
At only 10 inches long and 12 ounces, the S1100 is a mobile marvel, drawing power from a USB cable attached to a laptop or desktop. Its OCR capabilities create searchable content, and users can even highlight documents, with the system then automatically creating keywords. When scanning business cards (or even plastic ID cards), it finds and pulls the contact information and can sync with Outlook. It's PC and Mac friendly, and includes the ability to scan directly to a file, email, print or send to the cloud.
At the desk, the S1500 offers the same OCR and automatic file generation capabilities, along with greater speed, a document feeder, and advanced document detection functions. The system comes bundled with a collection of intelligent software to further its power, including Adobe Acrobat standard edition, ABBYY FineReader, CardMinder and the ScanSnap Organizer, which gives tools for viewing, managing, editing and storing PDFs and JPGs created with the scanner.
Potential Benefits: The benefits of going paperless are not just for tax and accounting practices, and small businesses are quickly seeing how digital storage and management of various documents, especially receipts, invoices, warranties, titles, insurance and other items helps them spend less time working with paper, and more time working at their jobs. Their accounting firm benefits, too, since digital documents and OCR capabilities help reduce data-entry time and increase accuracy when performing client services ranging from write-up to tax compliance.
Target Small Business Type: Small businesses who want an automated and paperless solution to payables and receivables management.
Overview: Over the past three years, Bill.com has become popular with small businesses and with accounting firms, allowing them to get rid of the inbox of vendor bills. Instead, Bill.com allows small businesses to upload, fax or email their bills into a system that pretty much handles everything else, including either printing and mailing a check or making an electronic payment for the amount due by the due date or terms. Not only does this help reduce late fees and get rid of the chore of managing payments, but both parties know that they'll be paid on time, and vendors can benefit from receiving their payments via EFT (electronically) at no cost and with no responsibility to deposit a check.
Bill.com recently filled out the other side of the money-in/money-out scenario by adding electronic invoicing. With Bill.com Receivables, users create and electronically send custom invoices, use customer collaboration features, and receive electronic payments, without a merchant services account. The system also includes branded payment portals for customers to log into or visit from an emailed link, allowing them to see invoices and other documents and pay them electronically if they wish. Recurring invoices and payments can also be set up.
Both the AP and AR capabilities integrate with QuickBooks and Intacct, with transaction data routed directly into payables and the GL. Bill.com is SAS 70 Type II certified and a partner with AICPA's CPA2biz.
Potential Benefits: Not having to worry about paying bills on time, but knowing they will be … and for about the cost of a postage stamp. The new invoicing and ability to receive online electronic payments is a strong plus, as well.

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Care Special Conditioner
JosephineCAHairBlackThick or Coarse HairBest Feeling EverI have been using this product for about 10 years now & I don't know what else to say about this product. It cleans your hair so well! The best part is that tingling feeling your scalp gets which proves that it's really cleaning your hair and doing good! The minty smell is just wonderful. I love using this product especially during summer since it gives off a "cooling" effect. This shampoo is just heaven in a bottle for your scalp/hair!!!posted Feb 18, 2012Link to this post
Deanna R.Worst Conditioner I Have Ever Used!This conditioner is simply a waste of money.I was very disappointed when i tried it.I was impressed by the shampoo that goes with it but this conditioner is garbage.It is not moisturizing as all,you might as well not use conditioner at all than using this because it did nothing to restore moisture back into my hair.posted Dec 22, 2008Link to this post
J HardinNMThe Best On The MarketWe live in NM where the weather is hot, dry and robs your skin of moisture. I had a terribly dry scaley scalp until I tried Tea Tree. Who cares about the smell - this stuff works. Dont buy anything else.posted Jul 10, 2008Link to this post
Kitty KatOntario, CanadaLove ItI love this product. It doesnt have a bad smell at all. I like the tingles it give my scalp (feels like its working). It feels and smells clean. Im not one to spend loads of money on shampoo or conditioner but this is my only exception. Of course, to make it last longer, I use it on every second wash.posted Mar 3, 2007Link to this post
WadsworthPhoenix, AZLeaves Your Hair Smooth And ShineyI rotate between Paul Mitchells Tee Tree line and Healthy Sexy Hair. I have thick, wavy, and frizy hair and this conditioner leaves my hair silky smooth. I am more concerned with the outcome of a product and not its "smell".posted Feb 25, 2007Link to this post
SarahThe Smell Was HorribleI had purchased tea tree oil shampoo and was hoping for the same nice scent from the conditioner. I was very disappointed. The smell was horrible. It was not at all invigorating more like nauseating. I would stick with the shampoo and wait till they figure out a better scent for the conditioner.posted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post
MelissaBoston, MAAlright Conditioner, But Smells TerribleI usually use Pureology hydrating conditioner, which works really well and smells like peppermint. I was running low so I thought Id try something new. My main complaint with this conditioner is that it smells terrible. I dont even know how to describe the smell. Play dough maybe? Not good. The conditioner works fine, but isnt "special"- it might make my hair more static than normal.posted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post
ArikaKelseyville, CAAbsolutely Love ItIm an African American with varied hair textures because I press my hair. If a conditioner doesnt work properly, my hair just snaps off at the place where the new growth and old presses hair meet. This conditioner makes my hair manageble and shiny. The texture is always better after I use the Tea Tree Conditioner. When I comb through my hair it never snaps now. My hair has grown the fastest it ever has.posted Aug 28, 2006Link to this post

Looks like CPU is the bottleneck in many of the free driver benchmarks.
Phoronix: Using Gallium3D On AMD FirePro Workstation GPUs
How well do AMD's FireGL/FirePro workstation graphics cards work with the open-source graphics drivers for Linux? It's something we never have really focused on up to this point, since after all, most workstation users are satisfied with using proprietary display drivers on Linux. It is the workstation market that drives the proprietary Linux driver development after all for AMD and NVIDIA, and that is really the focus of development, not Linux gamers or enthusiasts. But curiosity got the best of me, so here's what happens if you try to use an expensive FirePro graphics card with the open-source driver stack and the Mesa Gallium3D driver.
Looks like CPU is the bottleneck in many of the free driver benchmarks.
As a point of interest: if anyone tries to run an application where background processing in the application itself will pretty much peg your CPU, you won't see much of a difference between r600g and Catalyst. Your FPS will top out around 30 - 50 fps on average.
Back in the old days, my favorite example of this "damn app is a CPU hog all by itself" effect was the MMO game, Anarchy Online. MMOs do indeed have a lot of background processing to do with all the dynamic content flying around. I remember vastly upgrading my GPU and not getting any FPS improvement in AO. It was only years later when I picked it up again using a quad core CPU with more cache that I could finally start to get FPS in the 60 and above range.
Nowadays, my favorite example is Second Life (and related viewers). It's an MMO by some definitions, a metaverse by others. But what makes SL king of the CPU is that it gobbles down cycles like no tomorrow because ALL the content (the textures, the meshes, the animations, everything but the shaders) is dynamically generated based on actions of other users. So the engine cannot be optimized ahead of time to consume low amounts of CPU during render-time.
What you find out is that things normally done during "loading" time for most games is done during render-time for Second Life, hence the high CPU usage. Things like:
-Decoding audio streams
-Decoding JPEG2000 images (textures)
-Decoding meshes which are sent in a binary format over the network
-Converting the serialized mesh data into actual OpenGL triangles
-Applying shaders and lighting to rendered surfaces (and applying it again and again as they change in ways that the client cannot predict ahead of time)
-Applying animations to wireframes to make them move as expected frame to frame
-All the network I/O that is necessary to pull down all of this
-Plus all the standard MMO stuff, such as chat, internal OpenGL-based window management, avatar positions, inventory updates, etc.
If you look at the above list, most of that stuff is done on the CPU. So even though I have one of the fastest desktop GPUs on the market, my "above average but not astonishingly powerful" Core i7 920 still yields crappy FPS, Catalyst or no.
In fact, lowering my detail settings doesn't even help. Nor does running Windows (but then, what would lead one to believe that would help anyway? ) -- try as I may, I can't seem to get more than 20 or 25 FPS out of Second Life in areas with "typical" complexity. In areas with above-average complexity (such as 20 or 30 avatars on the screen), the FPS can drop to 10 and below.
So the funny thing is, I get about 20 - 25 FPS on both r600g and Catalyst in this application. You'd think that if r600g were really that CPU-hungry, then it would further degrade framerate compared to Catalyst because it'd be robbing the userspace application of some of that CPU power, right? -- No, not that I can measure.
My conclusion is that, if you're just running applications that are either very simple (e.g. desktop compositing, YouTube) or very complex (e.g, Second Life), r600g should work indistinguishably from Catalyst. The only problems arise when you run apps that either (a) demand OpenGL > 2.1, or (b) demand features of OpenGL 2.1 that are not supported yet, or (c) are very taxing on the GPU but easy on the CPU at the same time. For my particular workload, right now, the only app I can claim that hits any of these is Unigine OilRush, and right now I'm not enthusiastic enough about that to even care. I have much better peace of mind just using the open source drivers.
But no, if you are using the open drivers with a workstation card in a production CAD environment, you need to have your head examined.
That explains why all the times I see a shot of second life on TV it always looks like it's being played on a Pentium2 with a really crappy video card (S3 Virge). That's right, I never tried to play/use/whatever it myself.
If it's not cpu-bound then what is it? Not optimized enough?
I think its due to missing / only partly working OpenGL extensions. Someone should write a small application, which only used the most basic OpenGL as default. Then you should be able to enable an OpenGL extension one by one or in groups (if they do not work independendly), to see if it hits the performance.
This will enable us to see if some of the extensions need more work and enables the community to optimize that extension / extension group.
If I had never written anything for mesa, I would be happy just trying to optimize some of the existing code instead of writting it from the scratch. This could potentially attract new developers.
I don't know if the current developers already have a list of only partially working / not implemented OpenGL extension?
BTW. I also think that the oss drivers should improve significantly in performance if it got multithreaded.

Hi to all,
this thread is aimed specifically to the Dutch market: what filler did anyone of you use on ABS-made subs. Since most of you already know I am in the process of building the U-47 from Robbe. As for filler (Dutch: plamuur) Robbe advises to use it's 'home-brand' Rostuff. Wondered if anything else can be used, keeping in mind it must be easy to use, give a perfect finish and 'everlasting durability' (and waterproof afcourse). I saw 'Alabastine' sells several filler-products that can be used on ABS, both 1k or 2k. The latter can be categorized as 'car-filler' (auto-plamuur) but tends to get very hard and leaves pitts and little holes after finishing.
Conrad sells the 'Seilo 80' product offering better finishing, but it does not state any 'long lasting waterproof capability'.
So to be short: pls give me any advise or pass me any of your experiences on the subject 'filler' (plamuur).
Any comments highly appreciated.

Usability is the ease of use and learnability of a human-made object. The object of use can be a software application, website, book, tool, machine, process, or anything a human interacts with. A usability study may be conducted as a primary job function by a usability analyst or as a secondary job function by designers, technical writers, marketing personnel, and others. It is widely used in consumer electronics, communication, and knowledge transfer objects (such as a cookbook, a document or online help) and mechanical objects such as a door handle or a hammer. Usability includes methods of measuring usability and the study of the principles behind an object's perceived efficiency or elegance. In human-computer interaction and computer science, usability studies the elegance and clarity with which the interaction with a computer program or a web site (web usability) is designed. Usability differs from user satisfaction insofar as the former also embraces usefulness. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Usability)

Order one size larger than you usally get in order for it to have enough fabric to wrap completely. Fabric is heavier than I expected, but it holds up well to washing. I got a coffee stain on robe; use of bleach was not a problem....the stain came out the robe looks like new. Good weight for colder months.
I had to replace a robe (that I bought at a spa in Vegas six years ago!) That I loved. After a lot of searching and the use of the other reviews I settled on this one and am pleased. I followed the advice of other reviewers and only used the no-heat "fluff" setting on the dryer. I am a 5'6", 180# woman that usually wears a 12-14 and I ordered the M and it fits perfectly.
I bought this for my brother-in-law for Christmas. He LOVED it. However, after wearing it after showering a few times and letting it air dry in the bathroom, he decided to wash it. He washes everything in cold water...but the dryer shrunk the thing. It shrunk so much that the XL robe I bought can now fit my petite sister :/ Thats the downside of buying online. Its not like I can bring it back to the store now and exchange it for a new one. I know he should have read the care instructions, but most things cotton these days, are pre-shrunk! and if you don't dry it, it doesn't keep its softness. All in all, it was good while it lasted (about 2 weeks).
I bought this robe for my little boy who is in the college.He wears L/XL.The size is perfect for him.He says it is very warm, soft and snuggly.The quality is superb.I have not seen this quality in any of the stores.The price is outstanding.Highly recommend it.
I purchased this robe to replace one that I had for years. After searching long and hard for just the right one, I decided to purchase this one. I am very pleased with the quality and price. There were no shortcuts taken in the manufacture of this robe either. It is plush, but not too thick. Fluffy and soft after washing. The other reviews were helpful in deciding on which size to purchase. Shipping was fast. I wish I had ordered it sooner, then I would have already enjoyed it longer.
Nice weight, thirsty without weighing a ton! Washes well.
Very white. Nice robe. On the thin side, so if you do not want extra warmth, it is great. Overall, like they way they lood on.
Great robe on the thinner size which is great for my husband who does not like to be warm in a heavy velour fabric. It works well for both winter and summer for him. I wish it was in any other color at the time I bought it as white is hard to keep bright and clean. He is 5'9" and it is not too long for him and could easily fit some one up to 6'3" and not be a short robe.
Only problem is I have a lot of pulls after only 2nd wash.

Archive Review This item is no longer available.
This large diameter power unit has a dirt capacity of 38 quarts, allowing you to empty the dirt can less often. The ATQ-1500 also features a larger capacity inverted filter which provides more useable filtered air space. The inverted filter maintains itself using a center weighted design that flexes the filter each time the unit is power cycled on and off. The larger filter area allows for a longer period of time between maintenance (power cycling the unit) - another benefit for cleaning larger homes. The inverted filter used in VALET ATQ models is permanent and never needs replacement. The special Micro-Tex® filter resists bacteria, mold, and mildew growth. This material can also capture particles as small as .3 microns and has a dust retention of 99.96% efficiency.
The ATQ-1500 comes standard as a permanent filter bagless unit, but has a special stem inside the vacuum that allows it to use an optional sealed synthetic bag. Disposable synthetic bags allow easier maintenance of the collected debris for those that suffer from allergies or asthma in the family. Instead of dumping the dirt container into the trash bin you simply unhook the synthetic bag and throw it away. You can also use the system bagless, operating with only the permanent filter. The inverted permanent filter maintains itself using a center weighted design that flexes the filter each time the unit is power cycled on and off. The inverted filter used in VALET ATQ models is permanent and never needs replacement. The special Micro-Tex® filter resists bacteria, mold, and mildew growth. This material can also capture particles as small as .3 microns and has a dust retention of 99.96% efficiency.
A unique third method of collection is built in to the Valet central vacuum. VALET bagless units feature the patented Air Channel. The air channel allows a plastic can liner to be used inside the dirt collection bin which makes emptying the bin easier and with less mess. With the Air Channel, you eliminate clouds of dust puff-back when you empty the collection bin. Maintaining your VALET power unit with can liner is clean and easy. Just unlatch the collection bin and gather up the can liner. Take the can liner and throw it away in your garbage. Put another plastic liner in the canister and your ready to vacuum once again. Your first package of can liners are included with your power unit and additional 4 packs are available on the accessories list. VALET can liners are convenient and easy to use but are optional and the VALET power unit can be used without them if necessary.
The VALET ATQ uses an Ametek brand Lamb series motor for exceptional performance and reliability. A sound reduction chamber surrounds the motor and reduces the amount of noise coming from the motor cooling system, making the unit quieter. The ATQ units are also equipped with utility valve mounted to the front of the power unit for cleaning the car, garage or basement and an easy to use and on/off switch on the units control board. The VALET ATQ series is constructed from rolled galvannealed steel and powder coated for a tough, corrosion-resistant lifetime of use. VALET central vacuums are made in the USA by Lindsay manufacturing in Ponca City, Oklahoma where it has been building quality cleaning system including VALET®, Vacu-Maid®, Astro-Vac®, SilentPartner® and others for nearly 50 years.
As with all VALET central vacuum systems, using the ATQ series can help decrease asthma and allergy symptoms by removing dust and allergens from your living areas. A VALET central vacuum system can reduce the amount of allergens in your home by extracting the dirt, dust, mold, pollen, and pet dander out of your carpet and furnishings; and it's simple. It brings these allergens through the network of hidden tubing in your walls to the power/collection unit located in a remote area of your home, usually the garage or basement. By doing this, the central vacuum cleaner rids your home of these potentially harmful irritants, unlike most portable vacuum cleaners, which leave much of the fine dust recirculating in the air. Also, VALET central vacuums are exhaustible and can be ducted outside the home. By having a central vacuum vented to the outside of your home, it is possible to completely remove even the smallest of particles from all areas of your home.
The ATQ-1500 is recommended for installations of 5 - 12 valves with a max pipe run of 160 ft including the exhaust system, if any. While best suited for homes up to 10,000 square feet, these recommendations are approximate and for reference only and not intended as a strict guide. For more information please contact Vacdepot for free central vacuum system planing assistance.
Anyone offering central vacuums online can claim to be an expert, but the standard must be higher than sticking a shipping label on a box and hoping for the best. Only Vacdepot with nearly two decades of online shipping know-how and five decades of vacuum industry experience provides this unique service for its customers on every power unit, because only Vacdepot can.

What Is Pandemic (H1N1) Influenza? | What Is the H1N1 Flu Vaccine? | Is the H1N1 Flu Vaccine Available? | Who Should Get Vaccinated and When? | Who Should Not Get Vaccinated? | Is the H1N1 Flu Vaccine Safe? | What Other Ways Can H1N1 Be Prevented Besides Vaccination? | What Happens in the Event of an Outbreak?
Pandemic H1N1 flu (originally called swine flu) is a respiratory infection. The pandemic H1N1 flu has spread to humans and has reached the level of a pandemic. A pandemic is a worldwide outbreak.
The main risk factor for getting the pandemic H1N1 flu is contact with an infected person. People with the flu can infect others through coughing and sneezing. You can also get the flu by touching an infected object. A chronic health condition such as heart or lung disease, diabetes, or cancer may increase your risk of a more severe form of the flu.
Symptoms may include:
Most people recover at home. Basic care includes rest, fluids, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Antiviral medications may be used. They may be given to prevent or treat an H1N1 infection.
A vaccine is a substance used to protect people from infections caused by bacteria and viruses. There are two ways you might receive the H1N1 flu vaccine:
The virus in a vaccine will not make you sick. Be aware that even if you have been vaccinated, you can still get the pandemic H1N1 flu. If you have symptoms, tell your doctor.
Yes, the H1N1 flu vaccine is available. The supply varies by location.
According to the CDC, those who should get vaccinated include:
The Public Health Agency of Canada has similar target groups to the CDC but also include:
People in these target groups who have had flu-like illness not confirmed to be pandemic H1N1 flu should still be vaccinated.
Pregnant women should be given the flu shot (the inactivated vaccine), not the nasal spray (live, attenuated vaccine).
Should there be a shortage of vaccine, the target populations would consist of:
After the target groups, people aged 25-64 years should get the vaccine. Older adults (over 65 years) will be the last group to receive the vaccine. Older adults have been less likely to become infected with this flu than younger people.
Flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as April or May. The best time to get vaccinated is as soon as the vaccine becomes available. Doing so will protect you before the flu comes to your community. The flu season can extend into the spring, so it is important to still get vaccinated if you did not do so early in the season.
Make sure you talk to your healthcare provider about which vaccine is right for you.
At this time, you may not want to get the vaccine if you are allergic to eggs. This is because most vaccines will be made using eggs. Further testing on the H1N1 flu vaccine may indicate that other people need to be cautious as well. Talk to your doctor to learn more.
The nasal spray (live, attenuated vaccine) should not be given to:
Like the seasonal flu vaccine , the H1N1 flu vaccine is not expected to cause problems other than soreness at the injection site. People with specific allergies (eggs, latex, or certain drugs) should check with their doctor before receiving any flu vaccine.
In 1976, a flu vaccine was linked with cases of Guillan-Barre syndrome (GBS) , a rare nerve disease causing weakness for several weeks, with some cases being severe enough to require breathing machines. The rate of GBS related to the vaccine was about 1 case per million vaccine doses. Since 1976, flu vaccines have not been clearly linked with GBS.
The CDC has issued some specific guidelines for public facilities. This will help schools, businesses, correctional facilities, and healthcare settings manage an outbreak of the flu. The advised actions may include isolating infected individuals and cleaning the facility. In some cases, the facility may need to be closed for a period of time.

I like to do the sneak up on critters, even when I'm not trying to kill them. It's fun and I think it just makes for good practice. I took this picture a couple days ago sneaking up on some blacktail bedding up on a rocky ridge.
I saw an article resently written by Remi Warren. He shaved down some lightweight foam sandles and wore them in-between two pairs socks. Keeps feet quiet, it's pretty quick and easy to do and it also saves your feet from some of those pesky cactus, shale, and stickers.
That made me smile jenbickel about stalking and amost getting punched in the face. Surly some good advice to be wary on what you sneak up on.


text: 111 min | PG13 Based on inspiring true events, GIMME SHELTER centers on the courageous story of Agnes "Apple" Bailey (Vanessa Hudgens) and her incredible path to motherhood as a pregnant, homeless teenager. Forced to flee her abusive mother (Rosario Dawson) and turned away by her Wall Street father (Brendan Fraser), Apple finds herself on a desperate journey of survival. In the depths of despair, she meets a compassionate stranger (James Earl Jones) who ultimately leads her to salvation and unprecedented support in a suburban shelter for homeless teenagers where, Apple breaks from her past and embraces the future with clarity and hope.

Orthaheel Gemma Mule Slippers Dark Grey Zebra Women's Shoe
Features include:
Comfortable slippers, well formed arch and heel support. Hugs my foot nicely without aggravating my heel-spurs or bunions.
These are great! Just what I needed. The fit is perfect and width can be adjusted.
I have been having trouble with getting a size to fit. I have returned several slippers for that reason and hope the latest will be right. I am always a size 7 and found the slippers too large so ordered a 6 which is too small. I am hoping the size 7 in another style will do.
These slippers are so wonderful when I had full blown Plantar Faciitis I wore them on the plane home from France!! The flight attendant took notice : ) Arch support is very good. They are a welcomed part of my shoe wardrobe.
These slippers are soooo comfortable. They are soft, but have a great arch support. I have arthritis and gout, and I could not be happier with any other slippers.
I love the slippers, so comfortable, great support! Great for cool weather.
Most comfortable slipper. Has a sole that does not bend and stands up well outside.
These are a gift for a my mother (who specifically requested these slippers). The print is cute and I think these will help her feet.
I needed the orthaheel for plantar fasciitis, but was concerned that they would not be warm enough for the winter. Well, they are warm and toasty. I love them.

An Arrancar (アランカル, arankaru) is a Hollow that has removed its mask and gained Shinigami powers. The name "Arrancar" is a Spanish verb meaning "to remove" or "to rip off," a reference to an Arrancar's removal of its Hollow mask. Following the retrieval of the Hogyoku and Aizen's emergence into Hueco Mundo, the Arrancar have become the main antagonists of the series, especially the Espada.

About Me Parent
I used this in conjunction with the post contact wash. I pull poison ivy from bush areas and get the ivy on the wrists between the gloves and long sleeve shirt. I did not see a significant improvement of rash. I will just use longer gloves in the future.

Favorite memories of the "Aughts":
-Adam Dunn's walk-off grand slam against Bob Wickman and the Indians in 2006.
-Watching Homer Bailey begin to come into his own down the stretch of the 2009 season. While this confidence may be premature, it's a relief to see a prospect who had been raved about for years begin to show what he can do on the diamond.
-Aaron Harang's dominant season of 2006 where he led the league in complete games and strikeouts. Even though he received no press for the Cy Young, it was still one of the best Reds pitching seasons of the "aughts".

Tashi Palden of the Little Moon Shop in Albany, NY has made several painted tables for me. One was to my specifications and he followed the design to the letter. I asked him to design another table with using his own ideas. A third piece was one I owned, and he repainted it for me, again using his own design. In those two cases I did have some specific color requests which he was able to reproduce exactly. They are […]

I continue to get compliments all the time and very proud to wear it. One look at the custom designing of the […]

This just gave me a real boost I really enjoy these discussions because it equips you to deal with the real challenges of life. Thanks!

Life of Piby Yann Martel
Awards2002 Man Booker Prize
Staff Pick I admit it; before reading Life of Pi, I thought, There's just no way that Yann Martel can write a whole book about a teenage boy and a tiger stranded together in a lifeboat for 277 days. But, I was so wrong; he pulls it off beautifully. You will love this utterly charming and unforgettable book. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.
The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days while lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional — but is it more true? Review:"This breezily aphoristic, unapologetically twee saga of man and cat is a convincing hands-on, how-to guide for dealing with what Pi calls, with typically understated brio, 'major lifeboat pests.'" The New Yorker
Review:"Martel's Life of Pi might sound ridiculous, but by the time Martel throws Pi out to sea, his quirkily magical and often hilarious vision has already taken hold....Martel is so mesmerized by Pi that one can't help but be enchanted too....Pi's lost-at-sea story never drags. The slow journey is spiked with fascinating survival scenes....Pi's story is so extraordinary that when he finally makes it ashore, he offers a comparatively boring version of the tale to two researchers, acknowledging that humans don't have much of a taste for the miraculous. This played-down version makes Pi's true tale, thanks to Martel's beautifully fantastical and spirited rendering, all the more tempting to believe." Suzy Hansen, Salon.com
Review:"A work of wonder....[T]he kind of twist-and-turns spellbinder that's almost impossible to forget." Paul Evans, Book Magazine
Review:"An impassioned defense of zoos, a death-defying trans-Pacific sea adventure a la Kon-Tiki, and hilarious... : This audacious novel manages to be all of these." The New Yorker
Review:"Life of Pi could renew your faith in the ability of novelists to invest even the most outrageous scenario with plausible life." The New York Times Book Review
Review:"Life of Pi is a real adventure: brutal, tender, expressive, dramatic, and disarmingly funny....It's difficult to stop reading when the pages run out." San Francisco Chronicle
Review:"A story to make you believe in the soul-sustaining power of fiction." Los Angeles Times Book Review
Synopsis:This brilliant novel combines the delight of Kipling's "Just So Stories" with the metaphysical adventure of "Jonah and the Whale, " as Pi, the son of a zookeeper, is marooned aboard a lifeboat with four wild animals. His knowledge and cunning allow him to coexist for 227 days with Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger.
Synopsis:National Bestseller
A New York Times Notable Book of 2002 Pi Patel, a God-loving boy and the son of a zookeeper, has a fervent love of stories and practices not only his native Hinduism, but also Christianity and Islam. When Pi is sixteen, his family and their zoo animals emigrate from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship. Alas, the ship sinks — and Pi finds himself in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi. Can Pi and the tiger find their way to land? Can Pi's fear, knowledge, and cunning keep him alive until they do? Synopsis:More than seven million copies sold...
New York Times Bestseller * Los Angeles Times Bestseller * Washington Post Bestseller * San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller * Chicago Tribune Bestseller After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan — and a 450-pound royal bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years. Universally acclaimed upon publication, Life of Pi is a modern classic. About the AuthorYann Martel, the child of diplomats, grew up in Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Alaska and Canada and as an adult has spent time in Iran, Turkey and India. After studying philosophy at Trent University, he worked at odd jobs until he began making a living as a writer at the age of 27. He lives in Montreal.
