On Small Business with Ralph Coker: 11.27.07
Small firms should plug advantages in service
Q. What are the best practices for small business marketing and advertising to retain customers and acquire new ones?
A. A good source of information for small business marketing and advertising best practices is the Small Business Poll conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business Research Foundation. SCORE subscribes to the poll. Your question will be answered in a two-part column with information from the poll, first covering marketing practices, then advertising practices.
Small businesses are sharply divided on whether their products or services sell themselves without a lot of marketing effort. Even the majority acknowledge they work hard on marketing strictly to prevent competitors from taking customers away. No doubt the different opinions are caused by the different nature of the products and services. Some products and services do sell themselves, while others do not.
Most small businesses depend on repeat customers. Repeat customers are easier to sell to and it's less expensive to retain them than to acquire new customers. Capturing repeat business requires building long-term customer relationships. Very few businesses depend on a continuing stream of new customers because they have sufficient repeat customers to be successful.
A majority of businesses have a marketing plan and marketing budget and feel they should have high priority. That doesn't mean the plan must be written. Plans tend to become more formal as a business grows. If a business borrows money from a bank, the bank will require a marketing plan.
Owners tend to make marketing decisions based on personal experience, customer observation and feedback rather than on formal market research. The experience is acquired from day-to-day contact with customers that produce a gut feel for making the right decisions. Owners also observe competitors and use information gained from their personal and professional network for marketing decisions. New business owners are at a disadvantage if they don't have the personal marketing experience, which may help explain the high failure rate of new businesses.
Owners put a higher priority on long-term growth rather than immediate profit. They try to build long-term relationships with their customers to facilitate growth. They work hard to establish their reputation, trust and credibility with their customers. Most owners want to grow by both expanding their customer base and adding new products and services to increase sales. They constantly are looking for new business growth opportunities.
Adding innovative products or services is important for business growth and success. Businesses react to perceived customer demand rather than trying to create the demand. That said, the actual changes in products and services for most businesses are few. They favor incremental changes with small profit gains over sweeping changes with high profit potential. They like low-risk activities with certain but normal rates of return. Businesses usually don't remake themselves quickly.
Customers are becoming more difficult to satisfy and there's an abundance of competitors eager to take customers away. Customers require businesses to be flexible and adapt to special customer requirements. That means responding to customer demands in a timely, pleasant manner even as demands change.
Because small businesses rarely have a comparative price advantage, they must create comparative advantage in customer service, convenience, quality and uniqueness. Large businesses tend to give lip service to customer service. Thus, the growing demand for personalized treatment is a comparative advantage for the small business that can fill the need.

They beat them. That's it, shut up. The Washington Wizards….excuse me….the 1-13 Washington Wizards beat the World Champion Miami Heat, 105-101. Ouch. And while we all witness the media scrambling to make excuses for Miami, we take a long hard look at the facts about this beatdown. John Wall did not play LeBron James and Dwyane Wade did not sit out LeBron James put up his first triple double The Miami Heat allowed the 1-13 Washington Wizards to drop 105 points on them LeBron James choked and missed TWO go ahead shots RGIII sat courtside and witnessed the embarrassment These are the facts people. Now, while Stephen A. Smith will have you believe that the Heat just rolled over on this one in hopes of preservation for a game that's TWO days away, we know better. The truth is that Miami has it's flaws, whether it be mental weakness or no inside presence but the flaws are there. And teams are learning how to expose these flaws. The Wizards predicted their victory the day before the game and they came through. They defeated a healthy, energetic Heat team. Don't get it twisted. The East is deeper now this season, so don't expect Miami to stroll into to the Finals, they will have their work cut out for them just getting to the ECF. So what does this mean for us fans? Many more post game interviews of LeBron James squirming with frustration as he answers legit questions about his and his teams' flaws on the court.

Róisín Shortall (born 25 April 1954) is an Irish politician. She sits as an independent Teachta Dála (TD) after she resigned from the Parliamentary Labour Party in September 2012. She has been a TD for the Dublin North–West constituency since November 1992,[1] and was the Minister of State for Primary Care from 2011 to 2012.
Early life[edit]
Shortall was born and raised in Drumcondra, Dublin. She was educated at Dominican College, Eccles Street; University College Dublin, and Marino Institute of Education, Marino. She worked as a teacher for the deaf before seeking public office. She first held public office in 1991 when she was elected to Dublin City Council for the Drumcondra local electoral area.
Dáil Éireann[edit]
Shortall was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1992 general election, when the Labour Party won a record 33 seats. She retained her seat at the 1997, 2002, 2007 and the 2011 general elections.[2] She is a former party spokesperson for Social and Family Affairs.
On 10 March 2011, she was appointed as Minister of State for Primary Care.
Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin tabled a motion of no confidence in her senior minister James Reilly on 3 September 2012 after yet more cuts in the health service.[3] Shortall addressed the Dáil during this motion and did not indicate her support for him or mention his name once,[4] though she did vote against the motion. She resigned as Minister of State for Primary Care on 26 September 2012, and also resigned the Parliamentary Labour Party whip.[5]

Originally written on NY Rangers Blog | Last updated 7/19/13
According to iSport.cz, a Jaromir Jagr/Rangers reunion could be in the works. iSport says that the Rangers have the fiscal space to sign the UFA Jagr as they are $3M under the cap. ...apparently the guys over at iSport haven't been following the Rangers this offseason. While they're correct that the Rangers have $3M in cap space, they left out the fact that the Blueshirts have yet to re-sign Stepan and Zuccarello. And I'm not sure about you guys, but I think bringing Stepan back is a tad more important than a Jagr/Rangers reunion. ...Jagr is one of the biggest reasons the Rangers were able to climb out of the dark ages of the late 90s/early 2000s and I think he'd bring a nice veteran presence as well as some goal scoring to the Rangers, but I'm not ready for them to radically alter their roster to open up cap space and bring in a 41-year old former super star. That's the old Rangers way of doing things. ...i don't see this happening. The article also mention...

If at any point the thought crosses your mind, "I wonder if LO misses the boob or remembers what to do?" ignore the impulse to show her your boob for it will end badly.
Yes, I know it's stupid, I was changing and LO was on my bed, she poked at a boob and I jokingly asked if she remembered them, she made a move and I thought, oh, how sweet, then CHOMP, seriously, she drew blood, then laughed. So, no more wondering for me.
Although, I am curious when #2 gets here how she'll react to her sister nursing.

English (7 – 12)
Study of English is compulsory for all students Years 7 to 12, and the English score will constitute part of each student's final Study Score in VCE.
At Years 7 to 10 students study three strands in English: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and they are assessed according to VELS levels. For a number of years now, Monbulk College students have achieved above state average in our Reading results 7 to 10.
In English, students will explore a range of texts including novels, plays, short stories, film, poetry and media texts. English extension classes currently run for those students achieving at a high level, which allows more time for teachers to work one on one with the remaining students.
Skills that students develop in English are the use of correct English, writing with a specific purpose, using language effectively, comprehension, speaking and listening, analysis, imagination and creativity.
At VCE the three Areas of Study are Reading and Responding, Creating and Presenting and Using Language to Persuade. Year 11 is internally assessed and Year 12 has final exams that are externally assessed. Monbulk College has a proud history of achieving at or above the state average study score in English.
The English faculty coordinates a debating program for students 7 to 12, encourages students to participate in writing competitions and we individualise learning by running Literature Circles in Years 7 and 8. A number of our junior students participate in the Premiers Reading Challenge each year.
Literature (10 – 12)
Literature is offered in Years 10 to 12 for students interested in reading and analysing challenging texts.
In Year 10 students experience texts and activities that link to the outcomes in the VCE Study Design. This includes the study of a wide range of genres including poetry, novels, plays, short story, nonfiction, the comparing of film and written texts, criticism of other viewpoints and creative writing.
All students are required to study VCE English at Units 1 & 2 level, and they may opt to study Literature also. At the VCE level Literature outcomes include analysing the views, values and language in a text, analysing how form changes meaning, and evaluating different interpretations. Students are also asked to respond personally and imaginatively to texts.
In Units 3 & 4, students can study Literature or English or both to gain their 3 & 4 sequence in English, which is included in their ATAR score.

Netflix streaming, ya know, it just doesn't work.
Sure it streams. But 75% of the time it stops, lowers the quality to something worse than VHS, and I'm not alone. There have been many a forum filled with these issues. Whether it's from the Roku player, XB360 or Samsung BR player, they all have the same problem.
Netflix says 1.5mb minimum needed for HQ video. I have 17mb. I get a minimum of maybe 4mb on bad days. So do lots of people, yet the video won't play at HQ for more than a few seconds. Netflix claims that during the testing phase they didn't have this problem and now they don't know what's wrong.
Oh well, maybe one day. For now I save the $9 a month until I see a news report that tells us all it's finally been sorted out.

So I was at the World of Love conference where I gave a talk on friday, I wasn't nearly as cool as some of the other speakers, when the videos go online of their talks make sure to check them out, especially Eskil Steenberg's and the demo of Introversion's subversion (that shit be HOT);
anyhoo, following the conference there was a game jam over the weekend, in the end I only attended for an afternoon, but I got to chat with some cool folks and even got round to making a game (even if it is 360 gamepad only and requires the regular microsoft drivers for windows);

Is There Any Republican Who Isn't Competitive Against Obama?
4:49 PM, Apr 15, 2010 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
Yesterday, polls showed Obama neck-and-neck with Ron Paul and George W. Bush. Today, Public Policy Polling reports:
As Jennifer Rubin notes, "Indeed it suggests the opposite — that it has cemented opposition to Obama and elevated candidates thought to be 'unelectable' to parity with the sitting president." Other issues could arise to alter the political landscape, but Obamacare will continue to drag down the Democrats through 2010 and 2012.
Voters defeated the Democrats in Congress in 1994 in order to eliminate the threat of left-wing legislation. The Republican victory sufficiently allayed voters' concerns about liberal overreach and ironically paved the way for Clinton's victory in 1996.
But losing Congress in 2010 won't similarly make it easier for Obama to win reelection in 2012. Now that Obamacare is law, unlike Hillarycare which merely posed a threat, voters will have to throw congressional Democrats and Obama out of office in order to repeal it.

Insurance scam
With starting QBs dropping, every NFL team needs a good backup plan
THERE ARE TWO kinds of teams in the NFL: teams whose quarterbacks are injured and teams whose quarterbacks will be injured. Sure, some generations produce iron men like Brett Favre and Eli Manning. But sooner or later, most clubs must face the prospect of their most crucial player going down. In Week 10 alone, Jay Cutler, Alex Smith and Michael Vick suffered concussions and Ben Roethlisberger injured his throwing shoulder. At this time last season, seven teams were playing without their Week 1 starters.
Given how often quarterbacks are battered onto the bench, you'd think franchises would be prepared to replace them. But you'd be wrong. Year
To read more about NFL teams that would benefit from a good backup QB, you must be an ESPN Insider.

Having a baby doesn't mean that you can't have a holiday. In fact, it's a great excuse to go away for a week of fun with your extended family. Hiring a big chateau or cottage, or perhaps a pretty villa, is a great way for your little ones to enjoy some quality time with their grandparents, cousins and other family members. Plus with a variety of babysitters at your disposal, it means that you're bound to get at least one night off to enjoy some time with your other half!
Picking a destination and where to stay requires a bit of consideration though, so think about the following:
1. Location
Unless you have a really well behaved baby (lucky you, if you do!) you may want to stick to short-haul destinations which require less air time, as well as accommodation within a 30 minute drive of the airport. Places like Nice and Bordeaux in France or little regions in Italy or Spain are beautiful and filled with loads of easily accessible villas and chateaus. Just click the links if you need a bit of destination inspiration.
2. Equipment
Gorgeous infinity pools and lavish villas may have you hankering for the 'book now' button, but make sure you check out the list of facilities before you commit. Ensure the property is listed as child friendly, find out if cots and highchairs can be provided and try to visualise your visit there so you can think of all the practicalities.
3. Temperature
Jetting off to a sunny beach may sound like heaven, but you'll need to think about how hot it will be during your visit. Scorching temperatures can be a little uncomfortable for adults, let alone children. If you do go for a hottie make sure you opt for high SPF sun creams, hats and obviously keep well hydrated.
4. Fun
Depending on the age of your little one(s), you may want to take advantage of properties with playgrounds or trampolines. Some even have football-tables and consoles, so make sure you do a bit of research. Also consider whether you want to be in a secluded area, making your own meals and entertainment, or whether you want to be in the hub of activity close to restaurants and cinemas. You'll know what works best for your family.
5. All the Family
No doubt your baby will be your number one priority, however if grandparents are joining your trip make sure you consider their needs too. Loads of properties have bedrooms on the ground floor which means that they can avoid tiresome steps. You'll often find that a property description will highlight ease of access for the elderly, so it's worth checking them out.
6. Flights
Spying your perfect villa or cottage is an amazing feeling, but before you click book just check out the flight times and prices. Travelling during the summer holidays will undoubtedly push the prices up so avoid this time if you can. Ryan Air and easyJet fly to so many destinations throughout Europe though, so you're bound to find an affordable flight. Just make sure you consider the flight times. Early starts can be difficult with children, especially when you consider the check-in time and your journey to the airport. An 8am flight can end up meaning a 4am start! Most property rentals don't allow check-in until the afternoon anyway, so you're probably better getting a later flight.
Once you've thought about these things you'll have the perfect first family holiday. Just remember your camera so you can capture those amazing memories.

When he talks about the untapped potential of three-dimensional printing, Tim Elliott, president of Chickasha-based Standley Systems, likes to recount a time in 1979 when a mortgage company owner and one of his company's longtime customers, the late Fred Smith, called him up to request a "fak-sim-uh-lee" machine.
Executive Q&A: Chickasha company chief grew up in the office machine business
When he hung up the phone, Elliott asked his grandparents, dad and uncle what it was. None of them knew.
A persistent Mr. Smith called Elliott back five days later to learn what he found out about his facsimile machine.
"What is it?" Elliott asked him.
"I don't know, but people are calling me wanting my fax number," Smith said.
"Similarly, when people hear about 3D printing today, they think it's neat, but they don't know why they need one," Elliott said.
"The technology has been around for 20 years, but we're in the same educational phase as we were with the fax machine in the late '70s or with copiers back in the '50s," he said.
From his Oklahoma City office at 26 E Main in Bricktown, Standley, 56, sat down recently with The Oklahoman to talk about his life, career and the future of 3D printing. This is an edited transcript:
Q: Your company is 80 years old this year. How did it get its start?
A: My paternal grandfather Fred Standley or "Pop" (actually he was my step-grandfather but he raised my father) opened the business in 1938 during the Great Depression. His mother, my great-grandmother, traded Indian-allotted land in Amber to help him buy the company's first building in downtown Chickasha.
Over the years, the company — which originally was named Standley Typewriter Company and renamed Standley Office Machines in 1968 and Standley Systems in 2000 — has sold and serviced manual and electric typewriters, adding machines, electronic calculators, copiers, fax machines and now state-of-the-art Ricoh-manufactured digital machines, which can fax, scan, print and copy at hundreds of pages per minute.
Q: Tell us about your childhood.
A: My father, Jim Elliott, worked for the family business. He and my uncle, Don Elliott, bought it from my grandfather in 1968. My mom was a stay-at-home mom. I'm the oldest of their three children.
My brother works as a lawyer in Oklahoma City, and my sister, as a Standley saleswoman in Chickasha. From the time I can remember, I was in and around the store. In the early days, Grandpa leased one side to a barber, and I used to ride my tricycle around the barbershop chairs.
Aside from Boy Scout camp, church camp and summer vacations to Colorado, Disney World and elsewhere, I worked, which kept me out of a lot of trouble.
From sixth grade on, every summer I took apart typewriters, scrubbing them with fats, airing them out, oiling and reassembling them. During high school, I not only worked at the store, but also sacked groceries until 8:30 at night and milked a cow in the mornings and evenings to sell milk for a buck a gallon.

The more you know could save your life.
That is the thought behind CodeRED, a high-speed mass-communication notification system.
Union County Emergency Management will use this system to contact Union County residents in the event of an actual or impending emergency.
Jo Anne Duckworth, Union County Emergency Management director, said the system is capable of calling the entire county within 30 minutes.
Opt in
Duckworth said CodeRED is an opt-in system, which means, to receive alerts, residents will have to go to Union County Emergency Management homepage online to sign up or update their information, or visit the Union County Emergency Management office.
By having an opt-in notification system, Duckworth said it's a great way to update the old information.
"Say its been six years — people move and never change their address," Duckworth said. "It's important to have that information updated."
More than weather
Messages disseminated through CodeRED include weather information, evacuation notices, missing persons, planned utility outages and emergency road closures use CodeRed to issue an emergency evacuation notification to residents within a half-mile of the facility.
"I just put in the radius and it contacts everyone within that radius," Duckworth said.
Duckworth said, in the case of one Union County man who did not return home for dinner after a day of working in the field, a notification was sent out to residents within a half mile of the missing man's property.
"We were able to contact everyone within that radius, say we had a missing person and asked if they had heard or saw him that afternoon to let us know. Or, if they wanted to volunteer for a search party," Duckworth said.
How it works
Signing up for CodeRED guarantees receiving messages regarding the safety of your community and area.
When opting and updating your information through CodeRED, registrants can choose to receive alerts via phone call, text message, email or any combination of those formats.
"It's easy," Duckworth said. "Go to the county website and there's a little logo that says 'CodeRED: click here to get started.'"
A CodeRED message will have a caller ID of (866) 419-5000 and will be identified as "Emergency Comm."
Duckworth said, if receiving alerts by phone call, to listen to the entire message. She said you can hit any key to replay the message.
"We are very, very, very fortunate to have this," Duckworth said. "I'm thankful the (Union County) Board of Supervisors and my commission (Union County Emergency Management Commission) support and fund this."
Duckworth said, when it comes to safety, signing up is the best thing anyone can do.
"To update that information is priceless," Duckworth said. "We don't want to miss somebody. That's one of the biggest fears I have."
To sign up for emergency notifications or to update your emergency contact information, go to www.unioncountyiowa.org/ or call Duckworth at (641) 782-1622.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Daniel email@example.com The Clayton County Fire Department will be holding an open house and a ribbon-cutting on Friday, to show off the newly remodeled Station No. 5. The station, at 2135 Walt Stephens Road, was renovated, along with Station No. 8, at 6700 Maddox Road, at a combined cost of about $920,000. Both fire stations were built during the department's first wave of expansion, around 1970, and were badly in need of renovation and updating, according to fire department officials. "When you walked in," said Capt. Landry Merkison, "you could tell it was built in the '70s." When the department closed the two stations for renovation in 2007, Fire Chief Alex Cohilas said the stations needed to be updated to current fire-fighting standards and expanded to house the full force of firefighters and paramedics currently covering the county. "We're excited," Cohilas said, "that we have brought this facility into the 21st Century. Station 5 now has the technological capabilities of our newest stations: A work-out area for our firefighters to maintain their fitness and improved living quarters, which reflects the diversity of our workforce." The renovation of the two stations comes during what may be considered a small expansion by the department, as the remodel and expansion jobs preceded the opening of a new fire station, Station No. 14, on South Park Boulevard. The $1.24 million construction in Ellenwood is underway and may be finished in July, according to the fire department. The new station will serve the northeastern quarter of the county, strengthening the fire engine and medic response times in what was, previously, an under-protected area. It will house an engine company, a ladder-truck company and a medic unit, with 11 firefighters per day. Station No. 5 houses five firefighters per shift, and responds to more than 1,400 emergency calls each year, according to the department. The remodeling included a new roof, an expansion, a diesel exhaust system in the garage, an equipment room, a gym, a women's bathroom and private sleeping quarters. When originally built, the fire department did not hire women. Merkison said the station was "a lot better," after the work was finished, and a "huge improvement." The work was done by Whitworth Construction. The ribbon will be cut on the remodeled Station No. 5 at 10 a.m., on Friday.

Dreams Do Come True
So…this is really happening!
Three copies of my book arrived on my doorstep two weeks ago. Holding one in my hands for the first time was more than a little exciting, and proof positive that dreams do come true.
Years ago, I got it into my head that I wanted to write a book. My idea was to write about how small lifestyle changes can lead to big improvements in health and well being. I had a background in naturopathic medicine, but I had no writing experience (and I certainly did not have a "platform").
I am very much rooted in reality, so I knew full well this was probably just a crazy dream. I knew the likelihood of ever being published was probably nonexistent. But I am determined, so I set about seeing if there was any way I could make my crazy dream come true.
In 2008, I started a website about health and wellness. Managing it for a year nearly sucked the life out of me and the website itself…IT sucked. I decided to give blogging a try and I shifted my focus to food and recipes. I did not give up on my dream to write a book but I decided it was a cookbook I wanted to write instead.
By the beginning of 2012, I was starting to think it was time to give up on the book writing dream. It's just not going to happen, I told myself. Some things simply are not meant to be. Right around the same time, I decided to start a series here on the blog called One Simple Change. I figured it was a way for me to put those lifestyle change ideas I'd come up with years earlier to use.
I loved writing One Simple Change. The response from my readers was really positive, and about two months after my first post, I found myself in talks with an editor to write a book based on the series. The rest, as they say, is history. Now my dream has come true, and my book will be out in a couple of months.

Ovechkin to play tonight against Habs
Feb 24, 2012, 12:33 PM EDT
Alex Ovechkin is "ready to go" and will be in the lineup tonight when Washington hosts Montreal – good news for the Capitals, who've scored just three times in their last three games, all of them losses.
Ovechkin, the team leader in goals (24), sat Wednesday in Ottawa with a lower-body injury and watched the Caps fall to the Sens, 5-2.
"It felt much better," he said this morning after skating for about 15 minutes. "We tried a couple days ago and I didn't feel well. Today I feel normal."
Washington sits three points behind eighth-place Florida in the Eastern Conference and four points back of Southeast Division-leading Winnipeg.
The Caps are in Toronto tomorrow to play the ninth-place Leafs in a battle between two teams that are headed in the same direction, and it isn't up.
- govtminion - Feb 24, 2012 at 1:31 PM
Team leader with 24 goals… remember back in '09 when he had 24 by Christmas?
What does that say about him? Hell, team leader with 24, what does it say about the team around him? The one that used to win games 6-4 on the way to a Presidents Trophy?
Sad, really. What a waste of talent.
- abrienza428 - Feb 24, 2012 at 1:39 PM
Seriously. Being a Penguins fan, that 09 series was the most nervewracking I've ever seen. I was terrified everytime he touched the puck. I miss that about the Caps.
- govtminion - Feb 24, 2012 at 1:48 PM
EXACTLY! That's what I'm looking for here. We had what was gearing up to be the best rivalry in hockey today at that point. After Game 6, I honestly would have called it 50/50 on who was moving on- and figured that it didn't matter, because they'd face each other and do this dance for years to come. Like Avs/Wings in the glory days, but without the violent aspect to it- just two teams bringing out the absolute best hockey in each other.
Whether it's Crosby's sad tale the past couple of years, Ovechkin not caring anymore, the amount of turnover between the two rosters… not sure what it is, but it feels like that's passed now. Pens/Caps used to be impossible to get tickets for here in D.C., and now it's just another game- one the Caps are likely to drop, because why put in effort?
We got cheated of what we'd hoped would be the best rivalry in the sport. And that's really sad- nothing else out there comes close to what this could have been. Not even CLOSE.
- xxshookonexx - Feb 24, 2012 at 1:46 PM
His leadership is obviously the missing ingredient in the Caps formula for winning. Defense and goaltending be damned
- billobrienschindimple - Feb 24, 2012 at 1:55 PM
AO must have run out of yayo.
- dougr42 - Feb 24, 2012 at 2:16 PM
The Caps used to be so much fun to watch. I'm a Flyers fan that lives in DC…I miss the excitement that used to surround the team. They're headed into Redskins territory very quickly.
At some point ownership has to recognize that GMGM's philosophy of building a young team with picks and AHL development is not working because as their star players age, they decline dramatically.

This poor guy is suffering. He will not be able to come out of this slump until gay men are accepted in the NHL. Its got to be dificult to hide your sexualility from your teammates. How is expected to lead when he cant even admit to his teammates that he occasionally drops the soap on purpose.

Haters will hate, and can say what they want about Ovi… but if he truely didn't care about playing, and had no heart left in it he could have milked this for far more then one game. The fact that hes back so soon after not even being able to skate a lap at full speed actually speaks volumes about his character.
His poor play is another issue, but hes certainly not packing it in on the Caps this year.
- bmorethansteel - Feb 25, 2012 at 1:05 PM
Defense & netminding have been atrocious! Green has been out for awhile. Backstrom? Who knows if he'll play again this year. Hamrlik & Knuble are old. Have to rely on two youngsters Perrault & Johansson to make plays. Oh, and Semin blows with all his fancy moves that get him no where. Ovie is the least of their problems and its funny how people only talk about him. This TEAM has alot of issues that need to be addressed.

One of the most frequently asked questions this offseason after, "is Rick Nash a Ranger yet?" has been, "who the heck is Kyle Jean?" The answer is simple: he's the latest gem uncovered by Gordie Clark and New York's superior scouting staff, which has developed something of a Midas touch over the last couple of years. It wasn't long ago that the Rangers were completely incapable of even getting a high first-round pick right. But now, Clark and company are unearthing NHL caliber prospects not just through the draft's later rounds, but even from the ranks of those that have long been completely ignored throughout their junior careers. Jean, a 22-year-old forward out of Lake Superior State in the CCHA, is the latest of these, but the amateur scouting staff (Larry Bernard, Rich Brown, Brendon Clark, Daniel Dore, Ernie Gare, Peter Stephan and Tom Thompson) has outperformed its counterparts by leaps and bounds over the last 12 months. Last summer the Rangers offered a 5-foot-9, 175-pound...

District Director of Information Services
Deborah Ludford
"In one word, Regroup is a partnership. We've developed a great relationship in which we've developed exciting solutions and we've only begun."
Ellucian is a merger between two education technology giants: Datatel and SunGard Higher Education. Regroup is Ellucian's official emergency notifications provider and won their 2011 Emerging Partner of the Year award due to our superior product, service, and rapid growth within Higher Education. Regroup integrates with Ellucian products like Colleague, Portal, Banner and Luminis.
Regroup provides an easy to use solution to integrate with third-party databases such as Jenzabar, Peoplesoft, Pearson PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS), and more. Our system allows you to easily and automatically import user data to our system to be processed and uploaded into (or removed from) groups. For more details, please visit http://bit.ly/n51cnA.
Regroup's integration with social media applications such as Facebook and Twitter allows users to post messages simultaneously out through social media. The 18-25 year old demographic spends 25% of total online time on social media, and important alerts are now able to be searched and found in "real-time" when they are integrated with Facebook and Twitter.
Regroup integrates with your own website to seamlessly provide a way for web-goers to view recent alerts. For several examples of this, please visit our helpdesk topic about website integrations here .
Regroup's Blackboard Learn integration enables faculty, administrators, and course instructors to easily send text messages or SMS to students within Blackboard Learn. They can also choose to simultaneously post messages via announcements and email. Please see our detail page here, or contact us for any questions.
Regroup has formed a successful partnership with Parature, a global leader in web-based customer service software http://www.parature.com/integration.aspx. Regroup implemented a new Parature widget that enables text messages from Customer Service Representatives to customers. This allows for a quicker time-to-close on tickets, a more personal touch for customers, and an additional option for customers who prefer text messages to email.
Regroup offers a convenient single sign-on option which can integrate with an existing LDAP, Open LDAP, CAS, or Shibboleth infrastructure. This option allows end-users the ability to sign-in with their existing credentials. The implementation consists of enabling our IP addresses, sharing connection details, and activating the authentication process for the login and/or embeds. Regroup does not store passwords. The system can be setup to validate against both the LDAP and/or our database in order for non-LDAP users to join groups. More information is available on our helpdesk here.
Regroup integrates easily with Alertus Technologies, as well as in-building, outdoor and local area alert systems to produce a seamless emergency notification network that covers everything from text-to-speech interfaces for PA and fire systems, alert beacons, sirens, digital signage, desktop alerts, IP phones and TV screens. Consistent messages can be targeted and immediately sent to in-building and outdoor alert systems as well to mobile, social media, email and web. This can be done all at the same time from Regroup's easy to use, one-click multi-platform mass notifications system.
Regroup integrates with SARS Appointment Scheduling and Reporting System to allow users to establish and set their own preferred triggers for automatically initiating a message through Regroup. Automatically send appointment/deadline reminders, notices of missed appointments/deadlines or any other type of event triggered message – the possibilities are endless!
Regroup's integration with Adirondack's "The Housing Director" allows users to easily manage dorm room vacancies. Regroup's powerful Messaging API send text notifications from within The Housing Director System to quickly alert members to a vacancy.
ESRI provides Geo-Mapping Data to state/local government agencies for a wide variety of uses including emergency messaging. We have the ability to import an ESRI Map Document (MXD) and allow our clients to use this as a base map in our Geo-Targeting service, to draw a multi-point polygon shape on the map to deliver a notification to the users located within the boundaries of the polygon.
Digital Signage
Regroup seamlessly integrates with leading digital signage providers including Four Winds, Visix and Crestron to easily trigger the display of notifications. Messages and alerts can be posted either through Regroup's intuitive "Post a Message" page (simultaneously with other communication channels) or automatically via a secure URL that is polled for content to trigger the notification to digital signage.
Additional Siren & Public Address Systems
Integrating Regroup with sirens and Public Address (PA) systems such as ATI, Visiplex and Valcom unifies mass communication technologies to quickly and effectively reach employees, students and visitors en masse. When time is of the essence, one click of your mouse will push critical alerts to sirens and PA systems, along with cell phones, landlines, email, social media and more.

Window tinting has been a popular and low-cost car improvement for decades. Car window tinting is accomplished with the application of specially crafted window films, which are bound to the windows by adhesive. It's a simple process and can be done by amateurs, but often has more impressive and long-lasting results when applied by professionals at Dave's Window Service.
Amateur attempts may result in the film 'bubbling' and/or separating from the glass beneath. Dave's Window Tinting has been doing this for over twenty years in all of Eastern North Carolina.
You have several advantages with window tinting – it saves energy, protects you against harmful UV exposure, makes the car a safer place for your family, preserves your privacy, and, of course, it makes your car look cool!

Everything you do requires hope – starting a business, getting married, sending your kid off to kindergarten or college.
Staying hopeful in the midst of doubt and uncertainty is the key to success…and the trick to bouncing back from almost anything.
My friend Cherie Burbach sent me her book of poems, and this one sentence inspired me to write this article about staying hopeful:
"Deep inside us, there is a small glimmer of hope that burns, no matter how dark the current night."
This one of my favorite poems in her book, Yes, You. Cherie called the poem "The Soul of a Christian", but I believe hope burns in all of us regardless of our faith or beliefs. We need to hope.
Hope is why we survive horrible experiences such as concentration camps, terminal illnesses, loss, abuse, natural disasters, pain, and suffering. Hope is why we're still here.
How to Stay Hopeful When You Feel Tired and Hopeless
Bury yourself in words of hope
I never thought I'd say this because poems aren't my thing, but one of the best ways to hold onto hope is to read poetry. Poems (and quotes) about hope have a way of burrowing into your heart and feeding your soul. Poems are concise and targeted – they waste no time getting right to the point.
Hope – a poem by Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune–without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
What does hope ask of you, other than to let it perch in your soul?
Be clear about what you hope for
"Few people know so clearly what they want," says Barbara Kingsolver. "Most people can't even think what to hope for when they throw a penny in a fountain."
Hope is like achieving your goals: the more specific you are, the higher the chances you'll succeed.
In Animal Dreams, Kingsolver also says:
"The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. What I want is so simple I almost can't say it: elementary kindness. Enough to eat, enough to go around. The possibility that kids might one day grow up to be neither the destroyers nor the destroyed. That's about it. Right now I'm living in that hope, running down its hallway and touching the walls on both sides." – Barbara Kingsolver.
Take 10 minutes to feel hopeful and hopeless
Sit in hopelessness for five minutes, and write down how you feel. Then, sit in hope and faith for five minutes and record your feelings.
What perspective feels better? How do you want to live out your moments? Who do you want to be? What's the difference between choosing hope and choosing despair? You tell me.
"Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope." – Unknown.
If you feel hopeless, spend time with people who suffered and survived something similar. Read articles, and know you're not alone. For instance, I wrote Help for Foster Kids – 6 Ways to Overcome Shame and Powerlessness — I hope it's helpful for anyone who feels helpless and hopeless.
Figure out what gives you hope
There are no atheists in a foxhole because faith and spirituality gives us something to lean on. My faith makes me feel protected, loved, and cared for. I don't care if Christianity isn't "the way" or if I've been fooling myself all along by believing in God. My belief makes me strong, happy, and healthy. I feel connected to the Creator of the Universe, and I believe I will be taken care of no matter what.
That's what gives me hope: my faith.
What gives you hope? In my first tip for staying hopeful, I said poetry is one of the best ways to hold on to hope. I was wrong. Faith in something bigger and better than you is the best way to live your life. You don't have to be Christian or even spiritual to have faith in something bigger and better.
Choose people and activities that encourage you to stay hopeful
Keep doing things that make you feel GOOD about your life, goals, plans, and future. Hang out with people who are hoping for the best, who use their hope to fuel their actions. Read books and blogs that inspire you to stay hopeful and faithful, that motivate you to hold on to the hope you have.
Be aware of the words you say. Do you inspire and encourage people to be hopeful?
"When the world says, Give up,
Hope whispers, Try it one more time." Author Unknown
How will you hold on to your hope when the world is telling you to give up?

I got this from promotion of Clinique. The only thing I can say is I never have any eye makeup remover product like this!!! The only thing can be removed by this product is your lipstick. Even my Cetaphill cleaner has better remover function than this! I will never use this again, even from the sales.

This stuff is literally my life saver. I always wear waterproof mascara and this is pretty much the only thing that really gets it off. I use Almay's makeup remover first to get off all that I can before using Take The Day Off (my little theory of saving money). Once I was too lazy to finish up with TTDO and I woke up with my eyes swollen! They really don't like makeup. Overall, I'm sticking to this dual-phase remover for a long time.

I found almost the same as to Ardens "All Gone", except this leaves a slight greasy residue, which I don't mind but sometimes makes eyes blurry if a bit gets in. It quickly coped with all the waterproof eyemakeup I threw at it without rubbing, was easy to use, didn't irritate my eyes or lose eyelashes. The packaging with the purple bottle and silver is cute too!
The only reason why I probably wouldn't buy again is the price and also I've discovered that a wee bottle of cold-pressed quality vegetable oil works just as good as well as giving me the skincare benefits of moisturising + vitamins. Downsizing skincare = more money for makeup!! My eye area just looks the better in the morning using the oil. Otherwise I thought it a very good product.

I don't know why I have not reviewed this before! I LOVE this stuff! I was using Lancome's eye makeup remover just fine when I was using regular mascara. But I started using waterproof mascara and nothing would take if off!! Lancome's was a huge disappointment when put through the test...and it was expensive! So a friend told me about Clinique's Take the Day Off Eye makeup remover.
All I did was soak a cotton pad and gently rubbed it over my lashes and all the waterproof mascara slipped right off! amazing! no tugging, nothing. I also use lipfinity from max factor that nothing takes off and it works with this product!! came right off!
The price is only about $16! Well worth it!

This is the only eye makeup remover that I will ever use. Why? Because it takes everything off! Why not use one for my lids, lashes and lips? I love how it just whisks away everything. I soak a cotton ball up and use one for each eye, and one for the lipgloss on my lips. I think the greasiness/ allows it to easily take the day off (LOL). My HG. Try it!
***UPDATE*** 06/18/2015 I still am in love with this.

This is the best makeup remover I've used, but then, I don't use that much makeup and don't have extensive experience on other makeup remover. I used water-proof mascara everyday. This can easily get off the mascara, all of it, without leaving any trace behind. I have used a few other brands before but nothing close to this one. All the others I have tried took longer to remove the mascara, and still leave some traces behind. Nevertheless, Take the Day Off is rather greasy compared to the other brands - and hence onl 4 lippie. It doesn't really bother me since a face wash normally follows the makeup removal, and the greasiness is gone after face wash.

I was looking for some remover oil, and I found it in Clinnique webpage, thinking it as a generic remover, I bought it in sephora barcelona, the price was not nice, but it was because here in Europe so much tax added for cosmetics. then I found it was an eye remover! what a pity, i used it very few time, since I dont make up so much the eyes, but compare with other brand, i have to say it is quite smooth, it doesnt cause any irritation to the eyes, and remove quite quick the makeup. also like its package. maybe will buy again but throught internet!

I always come back to this stuff. luckily one comes in just about every GWP so I havent had to buy it in forever but its by far my favorite eyemakeup remover. I shake it up and apply with my fingers and rub the makeup off gently, then remove with warm wet washcloth. i dont pour this into a cotton ball then apply, it doesnt remove the makeup as good and waste product. i can make a bottle last me forever this way.

This is a great remover for waterproof eye m/u and long-lasting l/s shades. I am so glad this doesn't have benzylkonium chloride because I think I am allergic to that ingredient. It was so hard to find replacement eye m/u removers without that chemical...I think this is too strong for daily use, but on the weekends when I get all dolled up, this really does the trick. Doesn't irritate my eyes either.
As others have mentioned, this is very greasy and leaves a considerable film. If that gets in your eyes, be prepared for some blurry vision. But I have noticed that I can rinse off most of the oily residue when I wash my face. I always put eye drops in my eyes before I go to sleep, so that washes out the residue too.
I think this might replace Lancome Bi-Facil as my HG waterproof eye mu remover since it's effective and BC free!

Medicine: doctors already use laptops for exactly this. Doctors also do lots of data entry (note, scheduling tests, writing prescriptions, etc), so the ability to use a keyboard is required.
Last I checked, the iPad has a keyboard dock for data entry, so if you want to use a keyboard, that's not a problem. Also, the form factor is far more convenient for use at the bedside, plus it likely will fit in the average lab coat pocket (something many netbooks don't even do well due to their thickness). If Apple is so good at making innovative user interfaces, why not make an interface that makes doing the things you mentioned (ordering tests, writing prescriptions) as easy as if the doctor had a paper chart in front of them? Laptops also have an inferior screen to the iPad, ever since Lenovo stopped using the iPad's screen technology in their laptops.
Manufacturing: to be useful on the manufacturing floor or shipping dock, it absolutely must have a camera/barcode scanner.
Not a problem - bluetooth compatible cameras and barcode scanners are available and are not very expensive. Ruggedizing an iPad like many medical companies have with the old Palm units (and adding a barcode scanner to them) for use in patient identification and blood glucose tracking shouldn't be very hard, but again, Apple hasn't partnered with anyone to make it happen or even suggest that it would be possible. They need to stop being so content with the affluent home user market and prepare a full-on assault in these left-behind markets.
Again - thinking INSIDE the box keeps you from seeing the true potential of these technologies, just like Apple.

Manzanares el Real Things to Do
The beautiful castle of Mazanares el Real was built in the XV century, and has been continuously maintained since. This castle looks like a fantasy creation of more recent times, but it is the real thing.Related to:
- Castles and Palaces
- Architecture
Manzanares el Real Castle
Combining the solidarity of a large fortress of the low Middle Ages and the elegance of a Renaissance residence, is a proud symbol of one of the most powerful families in Castilla during the XIV and XV centuries, the Mendozas. The Palace Castle, which the Duques del Infantado had built during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, is located near Madrid and set in the breathtaking rocky landscape between La Pedriza and Santillana reservoir. Carefully reconstructed, Manzanares Castle offers examples of late Gothic and Mudejar architecture, Moorish and Renaissance details, as well as furniture, tapestries, Armour and objects from different historical periods.
Manzanares el Real Hotels0 Hotels in Manzanares el Real
Manzanares el Real Transportation
You can get a bus from the Plaza de Castilla metro. It comes every 30 min and costs E3. when you come out of the metro the space between the two leaning towers is a bus station. Go to the "Anden" where a bus for Manzanares stops. buses are comfortable enough, and run through satellite towns before you get to Manzanares. You will see the castle on your right hand side.
Manzanares el Real Off The Beaten Path
La Pedriza
La Pedriza is one of the most interesting crags in Spain though it has not been very popular last years. The technical slabs are old fashioned and climbers usually preffer overhanging limestone routes. The old and sometimes deteriorated bolts contribute to this fact. It is a granite crag with more than 2000 routes both sport and traditional.
