'New America' Kmart ads in Series
October 20, 2003,
Kmart said it will unveil its newest advertising campaign, showcasing specific brands and products, beginning during the second game of the World Series Oct. 19. The commercials will capitalize on the retailer's urban strategy, as it knows its customers, regardless of where they live, are heavily influenced by metropolitan trends.
Focusing on what the retailer calls "the New America consumer," the 30- and 45-second commercials will feature Kmart stores and the familiar faces that represent its exclusive brands, as well as express a "cross-cultural appreciation that reflects where America is today, and where America will be tomorrow."
"With this campaign, we are truly addressing the New America consumer, an understanding that makes Kmart stand apart from all other mass retailers," said Karen Austin, chief marketing officer. "The Kmart shopping experience offers them an inclusive, open invitation that sweeps across ethnic and demographic lines."
Produced by Grey Global Group in collaboration with Carol H. Williams and the WING Latino Group, the campaign will air on broadcast and cable television beginning with the World Series, and continue on primetime television on such shows as "Friends," "ER," "The OC," and "Will & Grace." The campaign's message and images will also be seen in stores, on www.kmart.com, in its weekly advertising circular and on department-store style shopping bags.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If the antibiotics don't shrink it (it is so hard to tell if it is shrinking, or if I just am hopeful that it is) and we decide on surgery (which I think we will) the plan is that they would do an Xray and blood work immediately before the surgery. If there is no signs it has spread he would go directly to surgery.
I also read that there are anesthetics that do not lower the threshold. I am glad to hear that somebody else had success with them. However, I don't think my vet uses them because they didn't mention it. I will be calling around within the next few days to see if I can find a vet that uses the safer anesthetics.
Meanwhile: he is still acting great. Same amount of energy, good appetite. When I feel the mass it does feel smaller to me, but it isn't so much smaller that I know for sure it has shrunk. I hope it turns out to be an infection but I am trying to be realistic at the same time.
If it will be curative, there is the opportunity for good, clean margins and the skin to cover it, a lung x-ray is clear, bloodwork and urinalysis looks good, the dog is healthy, active otherwise, and the anesthesia is suitable, I would do it.
I would possibly get a second opinion (even if only to address that one odd comment), and definitely ask for a thorough lump check while the dog was under. Some places have an anesthesiologist, too. I think the canine epilepsy groups have some resources about anesthesia as well. Let us know!
|My vet spayed some fosters that had seizures. He said he would select the most suitable anesthetic and he said that the sedative reduces the likelihood. There were no problems. I would do the surgery if the dog is good candidate.
|Oops, I just re-read your OP and noticed that that you mention the lump is on the neck. I am pretty sure that is not a common location for calcinosis... Sorry, didn't mean to lead you on a wild goose chase.
Oh, I am so sorry!
Vets generally don't like putting epileptic dogs under anesthesia unless it is absolutely necessary.
If the biopsy was inconclusive, you way want to go to a specialists to try again before making any decision on the operation.
You mentioned that the lump is a hard lump, is it connected to the bone or can you feel that it is free moving? If the latter, it could be calcinosis.
|Before you make a decision about the mass removal, have you had x-rays to see if the cancer has spread? When our vet suspected cancer on our previous dog, she x-rayed the lungs, and unfortunately you could see cancer growths everywhere, so the mass removal was pointless.
Cancer, surgery, and epilepsy
Dakota most likely has cancer. I found a lump on his neck and it grew pretty fast. It is hard. We took him to the vet and they took a sample but it wasn't a definitive result.
So we are trying to decide if we should have the mass removed. However, he is just under 10 years old, has epilepsy (but has been seizure free for almost 4 years). The vet obviously can't tell us what to decide, and neither can you, but I do know that there are risks with his age and surgery,as well as him having seizures during the surgery from the anesthetic. However, the vet also told me that the chance for a seizure will be lowered after surgery, forever. That to me sounds wrong. I would think that after the anesthetic wore off the chance went back to normal.
So my questions:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/5/2014 (1142 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It appears the Minnedosa Heritage Committee's bid to take over the community's historic train station and turn it into a seasonal museum and tourism booth is back on track.
After rejecting a proposal from Canadian Pacific Railway in February because the committee deemed it too costly, the rail company came back with a more feasible offer for the sale of the building.
The new proposal would sell the building to the committee for $1 and provide a lease on the land for $50 per year for 10 years, with an option of extending the agreement for another decade.
The committee will also supply CP with a $30,000 tax receipt, the fair market value of the building, and assume any costs insuring the building, which will range between $2,000 to $4,000 per year.
"The wheels have gone from creaking to squeaking now," committee chairman Brion Pollon said. "We're optimistic that it will get done, but until pen hits paper, then everything is subject to change."
Pollon, who worked for CP for more than 35 years before retirement, organized a public meeting on May 6 and believes everyone is still on board with the project.
The committee is in the process of doing its due diligence, which includes getting a lawyer to comb through the document before accepting the proposal.
If the agreement is signed, it will still have to go through an approval process by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, the federal government and CP.
The "red tape" will mean there is no chance the building could be open this summer.
"This summer will be consumed with planning and restoring the building," Pollon said.
If the agreement is signed, it will end a near-decade-long saga that began in 2005 when the committee believed it had secured the building for $1 at an announcement made by railway officials during the CP Rail's Holiday Train run.
That announcement triggered a flurry of activity, with the building's roof being fixed, windows being replaced and new concrete being poured. Pollon estimates approximately $100,000 was sunk into the building after more than 1,000 volunteer hours are included.
That enthusiasm waned after the committee realized it wasn't going to get the building, and a long negotiation process began with the rail company.
Pollon hopes this new agreement will restore interest in the 105-year-old building.
"There is still a lot of work to be done on the interior of the building to bring everything up to code," he said.

ANCASTER, ONT. - There is something about the Canadian Open that does something to Adam Hadwin.
It gives him a bit of a swagger. Gives him the feeling that when he putts, he knows that ball is going to drop into the cup. No question.
He doesn't know what it is, but he'd like to bottle it and take it with him when he returns to play on the Web.com Tour. He's missed four of the past five cuts this year.
But for now, he'll take it.
On Thursday, the 24-year-old from Abbotsford, B.C., shot a four-under-par 66 in the first round, leaving him in a tie for 12th – and the top Canadian.
Although he does not hold a PGA Tour card, Hadwin has swashbuckled his way through the past two Canadian Opens as well.
Last year, he finished in a tie for fourth in Vancouver, earning $228,800. In 2010, in his first appearance in a PGA Tour event, he shot 68 and 66 the first two days, but finished in a tie for 37th.
"It's a bit of cockiness, to be honest, and it's been missing for a while," Hadwin said Thursday.
For example: He made a gutsy putt on the 16th hole. "I haven't walked-in a putt like that for a while," he said, meaning he was so sure, he started walking to the hole to remove the ball from the hole when it still had three feet to run.
"That's just how good I feel over the golf ball right now, over the putter. We pick a line and we hit it and I know it's going in."
Hadwin didn't immediately pick up his Canadian Open swagger this week. He played in the pro-am event and shot a 40 – five-over par – for the front nine holes.
But he spent 31/2 hours on Wednesday, striking ball after ball on the driving range. On Thursday morning, he had a putting session that was so good, his confidence blossomed as play began.
Hadwin started off with birdie putts on the first and second holes, setting him up for the day.
He later survived two tough holes: double-bogeying the 11th (which he followed with two consecutive birdies) and bogeying the 17th. He was especially unhappy with his effort on No. 17.
"You never want to make bogey on a par-five, especially when there are only two of them [par-fives]," Hadwin said.
David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., finished the day two strokes behind Hadwin at 68 – as did Brad Fritsch of Ottawa.
Albin Choi of Surrey, B.C., Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., and David Markle of Shelburne, Ont., were the next group of Canadians at one-under 69.
There are 23 Canadians in the tournament field this year.Report Typo/Error

Report on Myeloma Patient Perspectives
The report on Myeloma Patient Perspectives explores the patients'perspectives on current approaches to myeloma treatment and care across Europe and their role in future research.
• It has been developed by MPE to bring together the many complex issues faced by myeloma patients and to provide key recommendations to inform an agenda for myeloma patient groups and bring about the change required in their countries as well as across Europe towards improving outcomes in myeloma.
• These recommendations are given in five critical areas on what can be done to improve access, better involve patients in research and meet their needs more effectively and patient involvement in decisions that affect them directly. It calls for ensuring that patients are equal partners in research and are given a formal role in the creation of policy that affects them.
Please download the report and its executive summary here. If you have trouble downloading the documents, please send an email to email@example.com and we will send you an electronic copy.

Early diagnosis in myeloma
Although myeloma is not a very common cancer, it represents 1% of all cancer diagnosis and 84.000 are living with it in Europe. In the last decade or so, the emergence of new effective treatments has significantly improved outcomes for patients both in terms of quantity and quality of life.
However, some studies have shown that between 10% and 20% of patients die within 60 days from diagnosis. One possible reason for this could be the fact that patients are frequently diagnosed late; due mainly to the presence of unspecific symptoms and lack of awareness among general practitioners (GPs) and general population. In those who survive beyond 60 days, a prolonged delay before diagnosis is also associated with a significant deleterious impact on the clinical course of myeloma.
It is for these reasons that MPE intends to develop a comprehensive project at a European level that aims to improve an early and accurate diagnosis by pursuing actions at three different levels: awareness, education and advocacy.

Clinical Trial Charter
The MPE Charter on Clinical Trials was produced as part of a very successful first Masterclass on Clinical Trials which took place in Edinburgh in November 2012.
After circulating the final draft during the last AGM (Madrid, 14.04.2013) and gathering members' feedback, we are very pleased to inform you that its publication is now available and will be distributed among key audiences.
Many thanks to all of our members who gave input during the Masterclass and for the additional input in the months that followed.
The Clinical Trial Charter will also be translated as soon, and into as many languages, as possible.

L.A. Times Highlights TICOR/Pierce Collection
An article by Larry Harnisch in today's Los Angeles Times profiles C.C. Pierce, a photographer whose work is publicly accessible through the USC Digital Library. As Harnisch writes, Pierce arrived in Los Angeles in 1886 and began documenting the city's history with his lens. Pierce's photos capture street scenes, landmarks, and moments of life in Southern California from the 1880s to the 1940s, a period that witnessed dramatic changes in the region's cultural and physical landscape.
In 1941, Pierce sold his collection of glass negatives and prints to the Title Insurance and Trust Co. (TICOR). They were later given to the California Historical Society and today are on long-term loan to the USC Libraries, which, Harnisch writes, "undertook the monumental task of digitizing the images." According to the libraries' Dace Taube, nearly all of the TICOR/Pierce collection has been digitized and made publicly accessible through the USC Digital Library.
Browse a selection of Pierce's photography at the Times' Framework blog, or explore the entire collection in the USC Digital Library.

text: Second-language speakers commonly acknowledge that taboo terms and emotionally-charged phrases elicit a stronger emotional response in their first language. This was confirmed using electrodermal recording in three groups who learned English and one other language (Turkish, Mandarin or Spanish). Autonomic arousal was monitored via fingertip electrodes while bilinguals read or heard words and phrases in their first or second language. A question of particular interest was whether participants' reports of their subjective emotional experience in each language were consistent with skin conductance amplitudes. Participants were interviewed about their language learning history, patterns of language maintenance, and subjective experience. Interviews included speakers' feelings when using/hearing intimate expressions (I love you), curse words, sexual terms, insults and other expressions. Additionally, participants introspected on their emotional reaction when learning their second language (e.g., was it primarily the language of school/work, or a language learned in the home), and whether they felt like two different people when using their two languages. Some broad trends emerged which were independent of subjective experience: Skin conductance patterns primarily depended on self-reported proficiency and age of acquisition. Subjective reports of emotionality for taboo words and childhood reprimands explained additional variability in the electrodermal data. An intriguing trend emerged among participants who felt like two different people when using their two languages. These participants showed high reactivity to one emotion-category in their first language, and low reactivity to that category in their second language.

i have been using a Galco miami classic shoulder rig. with double mag pouch for about 6 years now.
very pleased with it. anyone else use one?
Yes for several different weapons and for years myself. They work very well for me also. Comfortable, hide well, and easy to put on and take off.
I carry my Sig P-229 in the "variant" of the Miami Classic" that Galco calls the SS-II. Just wider shoulder straps for comfort.
Like it alot. Good carry for those long driving trips.
""If I shoot all the ammo I am carrying, I either won't need more or, more won't help me.""
I too am glad to hear that you all like this holster. I have the Classic Lite that I carry my 239 and will be getting the SSII for my Sig Pro.
Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
I use one for my 1911 works great for fall and winter carry.
Is the Miami Classic a thumb break holster only? I would like a holster without a thumb break. Does anyone know of one are there any drawbacks?

Why I carry:

Ya I see major drawbacks about no thumb break. Gun falling out being the main one. I had an issue once with a major makers holster (much like the Galco Miami Classic) that the thumb break wouldnt stay snaped and once on a protective detail the weapon slipped out of the holster. The Galco is an awsome holster, and is easy to draw from when in a sitting position, unlike alot of the OTB holsters. I think the best thing Galco has done is switching the mag pouches to open with mags horizontal.
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
I agree. I would not carry in a shoulder holster without a positive retention device. The risk is just too high.
Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
I don't like thumb breaks...I prefer a pull thru method...they are faster and less bulky....of course, with a 1911, you might feel better with something over the firing pin...
That is an awsome carry rig for a revolver, would scare the stuffing out of me with a Glock though.
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
I recently bought a Galco Miami Classic for a 3.5" Para OPS .45 and am quite pleased with it. Like some others, I am not a fan of thumb snaps on holster; but it is essential using the Galco rig with the holster in a horizontal configuration. The Miami Classic is "modular"; so one could get a vertical holster component with no snap if that is preferable.
I like the way the MC spreads the weight out across my back and feels very comfortable. The downside...if I go into a place where it is warm, it is hard to shed a jacket wearing a shoulder holster rig. I have a bison-hide vest with lined inner-pockets which allows removal in such a place.
I got a Galco Miami Classic about 2 weeks ago. I'm still adjusting it to get that "just right" feel.
I use it with both a 4" and 5" 1911. I think it'll be a great holster for jacket wear.
"Those who live by the sword usually get shot by those who don't."
No thumb break...comfortable shoulder rig...bought it for my Kimber Ultra CDP II. I've had it for a while, but have only started wearing it as the cooler weather has come...Central Florida...
I really do like the way it feels. Nothing tucked into the waist, and with a light jacket...it disappears! It's perfect for Harley riding, which is why I bought it. But I have been wearing it lately...colder weather...and I like the feel. Easy to access with one hand...does not need to be anchored to the belt...very stable...mag on other side, but can be worn without the extra mag pouch (but why go without the extra mag?)
Enjoy your choices...
Stay alert...stay safe!

Dell's launch of IdeaStorm about 18 months ago was one of several steps the company took to shake its image of not innovating and not understanding fast-changing consumer markets. With IdeaStorm, people submit and vote on new features and options for Dell products in an online forum, and as ideas gain popularity, a moderator forwards them to product managers for consideration. The company has received more than 10,000 ideas, implementing about 200 of them.
Besides the Linux laptop, those ideas include Dell's decision to continue offering Windows XP when Vista was launched and to do a Dell-sponsored small-business makeover show, launched last week on the A&E TV network. Six features in the Latitude Series came through IdeaStorm, including business laptops in different colors, battery life up to 19 hours, and a backlit keyboard. "All were on the radar, but from the 130 ideas these were the ones that resonated the most," Pearson says.
Harrah's Entertainment, the 50-casino chain known for close customer ties via its loyalty cards, rolled out its Innovation Portal, based on Salesforce.com's Ideas software service, to get employee input company-wide. The innovation team seeded the portal with about 60 ideas, and then asked employees for theirs. The portal presents the top 10 vote getters. Next up? Possibly opening it to the public (see story, "Harrah's Innovation Plan: More Pilots, Less PowerPoint").
But voting doesn't provide much insight, since there's no penalty for backing a bad idea, and popularity may not reflect the likelihood of market success. "The incentives for the participants aren't about finding the truth and correcting the market if it's going in the wrong direction," says Chris Hibbert, a consultant and author of Zocalo Open Source Prediction Markets.
That's why a small number of companies are combining beauty contests with prediction markets.
It was 2006, and Ricardo dos Santos, Qualcomm's senior director of business development, was charged with developing a program to encourage and identify innovation within the company. Qualcomm had top-down processes for rewarding innovation but wanted to tap employee ideas that had no outlet.
Santos had a vision for certain elements of what would later become the Qualcomm Innovation Network. He wanted to let innovators shepherd ideas from inception to implementation. The model should be similar to venture capital, with the company funding the best ideas. He wanted to let innovators behind the 10 best ideas pitch them in a high-profile, company-wide event, attended by CEO Paul Jacobs.
But Santos was stumped by one problem: filtering the thousands of ideas that overwhelmed the company suggestion box. "Without any kind of filtering, the list was overwhelming--like Craigslist," he says. Santos came up with a two-tier filtering system. Ideas first face a simple voting process that would cut the thousands of ideas into a manageable 30 or 40 most popular. Those ideas move into a Consensus Point prediction market, where employees could buy and sell shares in them.
The 10 highest-valued ideas are presented to CEO Jacobs at an annual competition, VentureFest. Before the event, presenters get a two-month mini-MBA education on business plan development and selling, and "are even bought a new suit," Santos says.
About 30% of the ideas receive some funding. Santos declined to detail the ideas, other than to say a product Qualcomm will release this fall came from a VentureFest winner--a product manager who got excited about an idea but couldn't interest his bosses.
Like Qualcomm, Motorola was looking for a way to spark innovation. While the company had an online resource for suggesting patents, there was no place to submit product and feature ideas. Rami Levy, a leader on Motorola's open source technologies team, was turned loose to create what became ThinkTank Idea Exchange (TIX), a forum for generating new ideas.
Levy and his team first developed an online suggestion box, and ideas flowed in--by the thousands. Also problematic was that people offering ideas weren't collaborating. So they added a way to vote alongside discussion forums, using an existing collaboration system. That setup provided a glimpse of an idea's popularity, but the team had a hunch it wasn't a good reflection of its market impact. "We might have 10 votes for an idea but like another idea even more," Levy says.
So like Qualcomm, Motorola promoted the most popular ideas to a prediction market, what Levy calls a collective intelligence market, that's also part of TIX. Motorola has generated 15,000 ideas since 2003 from some 5,000 employees, and 1,000 people actively trade. Ideas from the TIX process include a way to reduce bacteria risk on phones, rapid phone book name search, and a toy car controlled by a phone.
Herbert Remidez, a consultant and management professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, argues that these tools address a problem with more rigid innovation efforts. When he was hired by a financial services company to help improve its innovation program, employees across 20 departments picked three ideas, which were vetted by 11 regional committees, each of which brought three ideas to the annual planning meeting. Holding public votes in small regional groups violates Surowiecki's criteria for tapping collective wisdom. Remidez addressed the problem with a prediction market from Inkling Market, letting employees from across the country analyze one another's suggestions. Remidez says it has shortened the innovation process.

Broncs Sweep Norfolk State
Rider University 11, Norfolk State University 2
Rider University 2, Norfolk State University 1
NORFOLK, Va.--The Rider University baseball team swept a doubleheader on Saturday at Norfolk State and won the four-game series, three games to one to open the 2012 regular season.
"We are happy to come back and win the series after losing the opener in 14 innings 1-0 on Friday," said head coach Barry Davis. "To win a four-game series, you have to win three and that's harder to do when you lose the first game. I thought we played better today and at the end of the day, your goal is to win the games so it was important to take the series."
In the second game, junior Joe Calogero (Cherry Hill/Cherry Hill HS West) picked up his sixth career win and first of the season, working 5 1/3 innings, scattering four hits while recording four strikeouts.
"Joe did a good job and kept us in the game," Davis said. "We got him just enough runs to get the win."
Rider (3-1) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by junior Adam Wayman (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial), scoring sophomore Nick Crescenzo (Hammonton) who led off with a single and stole second. Wayman had four hits in the doubleheader and five in the series.
The Broncs went ahead 2-0 in the top of the fifth inning when senior Brandon Cotten (Wiconisco, Pa./Williams Valley) hit a two-out triple and Wayman followed with an RBI single. Wayman had five RBI in the doubleheader and Cotten had five hits on the day.
"That's the output you need from your three and four hitters," Davis said about Cotten and Wayman. "Wayman had a big two-out hit in the second game that put us ahead 2-0. Cotten and Wayman were solid."
NSU (1-3) cut the Bronc lead in half in the bottom of the sixth inning with a walk and one-out RBI double.
"We had a chance to extend the lead and made a base running error," Davis said. "We could have been up three, maybe four runs and then they (NSU) got to within 2-1 the next inning."
Junior Sean Kuberiet (Branchburg/Somerville) pitched two-thirds of an inning to get Rider out of the jam and junior Tyler Smith (Westmont/Haddon Township) induced three ground outs in the seventh inning to record his 25th career save.
"Kuberiet did a nice job getting us out of the sixth inning," Davis added. "And Smith did a good job to finish out the game."
In the opener, fifth-year senior Patrick Devlin (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock HS North) went five innings, allowing three hits while recording four strikeouts to pick up his 14th career win.
"Pat threw strikes and didn't walk anyone," Davis said. "He got his curveball over and they swung and missed a few times. He seemed in control of the game, we got some runs early and that allowed him to attack the hitters a little bit. He was solid and did a good job."
Rider scored four times in the first inning on three hits and two errors and the Broncs increased the lead to 5-0 in the second inning on a Spartan error and sacrifice fly by Wayman.
The Broncs plated three more runs in the fourth inning on an RBI triple from Cotten and an RBI single by junior Ian Lindsay (Oaklyn/Haddon Township) along with another NSU error. The Spartans had five errors in the opening game, leading to five unearned runs. Lindsay had two hits in the first game and three hits on the day.
"We put the ball in play and put the pressure on their defense with some bunts," said Davis about game one. "We were able to jump out early and extend the lead. Lindsay had some good at-bats and had a couple of hits."
An RBI double by freshman Greg Fazio (Far Hills/Ridge) and RBI single from senior Chris Pierfy (Hamilton/Nottingham) were part of a three-run sixth inning as the Broncs went ahead 11-0. Fazio had two hits and two RBI on Saturday.
NSU scored twice in the sixth inning on three walks and a two-run double for the final score.
Also for the Broncs in game one, freshman Eric Strano (Robbinsville) had a double and was hit by a pitch two times.
Rider freshman Eric Thomas (Dallastown, Pa./Dallastown Area) pitched one and two-thirds of scoreless relief with two strikeouts to close out the first game.
Rider stole six bases in the doubleheader, two by Cotten.
"NSU was very good on the mound and their catcher was very good," Davis said. "I was impressed with the way we were able to run. We are going to need to execute and manufacture some runs, hit and run, bunt, steal and hit behind runners to be successful."
Norfolk State won the opening game of the series 1-0 in 14 innings before Rider earned the split with a 5-3 win in Friday's doubleheader.
Rider travels to Boone, North Carolina to face Appalachian State in a four-game series March 2-4.
"We are going to use the time before the ASU series to refocus on some of the details we didn't do well this weekend," Davis said. "We'll use the gap in the schedule to our advantage and try to improve. Appalachian State is going to be very good and we will have to be ready."

About Kanji Necklaces
The origins of Kanji and Kanji calligraphy date back to the 3rd century when fleeing Buddhist monks from China found sanctuary in Japan. Free from persecution, the monks developed a highly creative form of Kanji art which we see today.
Many eastern traditional spiritual leaders believe that through Kanji the inner Chi is both re-affirmed and strengthened. As in yoga and the martial arts, connecting with the inner self brings focus - focus brings peace of mind, body and spirit.
Each Kanji symbol is representative of a persons inner Chi (spirit).
Express and strengthen your own inner Chi with our unique handmade uisex Kanji pendant necklaces.
We use only natural materials (hemp, leather, hemlock) in the making of our necklaces.
All of our necklaces are separately crafted and hand painted and with the use of traditional Chinese knots, each necklace is it's own minature piece of art. No two Kanji necklaces are alike - each is as different as the person that wears them.

Deering Smile™ Banjo Bridge
Deering's new patent-pending Smile™ Banjo Bridge is created to fit into the natural curve created on a banjo head when under string tension. This relieves the stress found in a traditional bridge allowing the Smile™ Bridge to vibrate without constriction. The result is an instantly fuller and more expressive midrange, less constricted low end frequencies, and a wonderful balance across all strings.
*The top/black portion of your banjo bridge is called "the saddle." This saddle is made to match the shape of the surface of your banjo fingerboard. Most banjo fingerboards are "flat" meaning that they do not have a curved surface. Some banjos are custom made with a curve to the fingerboard which is called a "radiused fingerboard." This is not to be confused with the curve of the feet of a Smile™ bridge. When choosing the Smile™ bridge please choose the one that has "the saddle" that is shaped like the surface of your fingerboard.
Goodtime Banjo Bridge
Made with rock maple and a durable black composite saddle, this bridge is meticulously crafted and noted for its great sound. Featured on all Deering Goodtime banjos.
Deering Banjo Bridge
Lots of growth lines indicate a higher grade of bridge wood is used to make each Deering bridge.
Greg Deering Signature Bridge
Our premium grade bridges are selected from the most dense maple. They create the best transmission of sound giving you the finest tone and clarity from your banjo.
Personally selected and signed by Greg Deering, with his initial of approval.
Available in 5/8' and 11/16" heights for 5 string banjo.
Compensated Banjo Bridge
Made of dense maple with an ebony saddle, this compensated bridge will improve the intonation of your banjo. For best intonation, each banjo string should be at a slightly different distance from the nut. This "stair step″ style compensated bridge does just that. This is the easiest and quickest way to improve your banjo's tone!
Available in 5/8" height for 5-string banjo.

71/72 deVille left fender needed
It's like this: I was driving down the mountain when the wheel busted off the car and the tire exploded and, akin to being the pilot for a rough crash landing in a Hollywood flick, I observed everything in slow-mo. In the end, the rotor had a flat spot ground off (it still was serviceable), and the fender sustained damage emphasized by the tire tread mark upon it. My hope is that there is a CAD Fan out there in a rust-free environment, who has this left fender (and rear portion of the wheel well molding and fender parts of the rocker molding) for a 71/72 deVille hat he/she is about to take to the recycler--that is, BEFORE learning of my needy state!

Re: 71/72 deVille left fender needed
There are several Cad specific yards that advertise here. Fortunately for you, '72 was a high production year, so finding the replacement shouldn't be a problem.
Re: 71/72 deVille left fender needed
Yeah, Rizzo? Well "should" is a four-letter word! (Shud). Seriously, I haven't begun an aggressive search, and am indubitably grateful for the high-production through all models except the Eldo. But should any forum members have such an item, I yam all ears. . .or eyes. . .or, whatever. . ..

Hello guys! Our team needs to get one of our templates coded in Drupal and Joomla, beside the Wordpress and HTML versions we already have: http://themeforest.net/item/classter-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/10300637. So at the moment we are looking for developers who would be willing to do this job. Should any of you guys be interested, please contact us via PM. Looking forward
I know that a lot of authors face such problem. I am trying to understand what it's happening and how to adjust to it. I thinks, three things are the most annoying:
1) Problems with the logic of regect reasons, and thus having no more or less clear rules we all can keep to.
2) Iincomplete review: i think, it's not profitable for both Envato and authors, when a theme is rejected many times due to tiny fixes, often unobvious.
3) No feedback: for instance, I contacted Envato support back on 8-th July regarding this matter, and still have no response. Besides, it's impossible to contact reviewers themeselves(
Hey everyone,
Our team faced very strange situation with review of one of our themes. So, I would like to ask my colleagues if any of you have ever encountered such situations and how we should react on this. Well, to be honest, I just want to say it. Out loud
Let me describe the situation. Our theme received soft reject with a long list of Rejected Reasons. Well, we did all the fixes, although both theme's code part and design weren't far from the previous one. In other words, we basically were changing things that a few weeks ago was suitable for a reviewer. We don't like conflicts, we are low abiding citizens and it's not difficult for us to make fixes. We never complained if a second reviewer found something after the first reject. It's ok with us, we understand that they are humans
Then, we get series of rejects each of which contained a new tiny fix. It's been almost a month – our work on this theme reminds me of a boring show: reject – 30 minutes of fixes – 4-5 days of waiting – then another reject…
Today, we received another greetings from the reviewing team, the sixth time. We again learned something new about our theme. Like, we are not allowed to announce the updates we are planning to do, because it confuses customers. Or, we are prohibited to describe compatibility with applications (!). We test themes on a plugin compatibility, prepare all settings, and we are not allowed to inform our customers about that? What the heck? This is what all authors do. And we have been in their number till this moment I have read all terms and rules for envato products and couldn't find anything similar to that.
We contacted support team, and now we don't know what will be the result of it. I really didn't want to expose this matter on forum, because I do understand how it's tough and difficult to review massive flow of products. But we are still waiting for response from the support team, and beside that, our theme was rejected again. With every each reject, I am starting to doubt that reviewers are aiming to make our theme better.
We decided to do so, but I don't know how it may affect our further work here. Is it dangerous to argue with reviewers at all? On our example, we have come to conclusion that there are no absolute rules for all settings and elements of theme appearance. Theme may be returned or it may be approved. Worst thing is when you are played with, like cat is playing with a mouse, rejecting theme thousands of times.
Maybe, this is some strange Envato policy? We created a kids template – maybe reviewers don't like kids? Or they hate dinosaurs? Has any of you guys ever faced similar situations? Please, advise,
Happy Anniversary! Good luck with sales to you, phpbits, and all of us!
loopcut, thanks a lot for your comment.
I was using FTP if my package was really heavy. I will definitely try to upload these ones, though.
many thanks and regards
Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone's ever come across such problem and how they resolved it.
It normally happens when I'm trying to upload an album/set of 3d models in one archive. It goes okay with uploading single preview images and preview archives, but when it comes to uploading the whole pack of models, it gives me an error just in the beginning of upload (it says Error… (1%)).
Re-packing won't help… And it happens pretty often. Any ideas why?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
It's not a secret that most of ThemeForest authors provide support via forums or ticket systems. These methods are a lot easier and effective, and we never come across the problems with giving access to the account for support team.
However, in my opinion, these solutions have obvious defects that all the authors probably face:
1) Users keep contacting us via comments or email, and almost don't react on redirecting to the forum/ticket
2) Users don't like to read support info and often don't know about what purchase code is (which is required to access the ticket)
Considering all this, I think it would be really awesome to make some improvements:
1) To make an option Support Types in the account settings, where authors can chose between Forum and Ticket and insert corresponding links. Considering this, profile must contain standard buttons for these services. Banners now used by authors are too different from each other and have different positioning, so I find this not very handy for customers.
2) To make an option to register via Envato account when redirecting to the forum or ticket. In this case, in order to get support, users don't have to register once again and search for their purchase code.
So, I'd like to know if the community shares such kind of suggestions, and maybe someone has their own ones.
Thank you.

Are there different blog layouts? That is also a big selling point with me at that price, can you do classic, two column, grid, isotope, etc. Installing the themes yourselves…lol you are a brave man.
You are probalby right: we should have created more blog styles. We went from the fact that most of portfolio themes don't pay much attention to blog development. So we decided to focus on portfolio itself and the visual side.
As for Installing Service, we offer only a start – installation of WP and demo-contents. It's rather quick and not hard for us at all. We thought that unexperienced customer may have problems on this stage as well.
Thanks again for your great comment, and we really appreciate you chosing our theme.
Thanks everyone for all your comments, it was a really useful information.
giggles666 said
I don't have much advice for you really, but I do enjoy your Puzzles theme. I think Zen is very nice… etc.
Sure, we have considered your requests for Puzzle, however it's not only because of the personal liking Your idea was really great; we thought it would really improve the theme and would be useful to many of users.
We always estimate customers' requests and devide them into two categories: - Useful features that should be included into the theme - Purely personal (custom) As for your second request, unfortnately, we are not able to help you.
Btw, we are not fond of page builder ourselvesJ. However, it will be included into our next work. You are right, people like it. But we are developing our own framework which will give a chance to choose between page builder and our development, Shortcod Builder. I believe you should like it.
Yeah, our hosting provider had technical problems, Arvix was down for 30 minutes. It's ok now:)

Alexis scored two stunning goals in the 3-0 win against Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Chile international has provided plenty of memorable moments since arriving at Arsenal. Which of these five strikes is your favourite? Watch them and vote at the bottom of this page.
1. Arsenal 2-2 Manchester City
September 13, 2014
After Arsenal won 3-0 against Manchester City in the Community Shield a month earlier, many were expecting a big response from the visitors - and that is what they got when Sergio Aguero put them ahead. The Gunners equalised through Jack Wilshere's superb solo goal but it was Alexis' finish that proved the highlight. Aaron Ramsey's cross was cleared but Wilshere headed back into the box for Alexis to volley first time into the top corner and win Arsenal's Goal of the Month award for September.
2. Arsenal 1-2 Southampton
September 23, 2014
A young Arsenal side were knocked out of the Capital One Cup in September but Alexis gave the fans something to smile about with his fourth goal of the season. The Chilean was fouled 25 yards out by Jose Fonte, and he stepped up to whip an inch-perfect free kick into the top corner to give the hosts the lead. It was a fabulous effort that brought the Emirates to its feet in appreciation.
3. Arsenal 4-1 Liverpool
April 4, 2015
What a way to cap a supreme first-half display. Hector Bellerin and Mesut Ozil had put Arsenal in control with two goals in three minutes, before Alexis scored his 20th of the season on the stroke of half-time - and in some style. Receiving the ball from Aaron Ramsey, the Chile forward showed quick feet to escape Kolo Toure's lunge before taking a touch and, from 20 yards, lashing a shot beyond Simon Mignolet and into the roof of the net.
4. Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa
May 30, 2015
After such a dramatic end to the 2014 FA Cup final, Arsène Wenger stressed the importance of a fast start against Aston Villa this time around. Theo Walcott broke the deadlock at Wembley before Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud's second-half goals added the gloss to a dominant performance by Arsenal, but Alexis' strike was the pick of the bunch. Collecting a loose ball 25 yards from goal, the Chile forward took a couple of touches to set himself before smashing an unstoppable strike off the underside of the crossbar as the Gunners' cruised to a record-breaking 12th FA Cup.
5. Arsenal 3-0 Manchester United
October 4, 2015
Arsenal had not beaten Manchester United in the Premier League for four years but ended that run in sensational style, scoring three goals during a breathless 14-minute blitz at Emirates Stadium. Alexis scored twice and, while his thunderbolt of a second goal was good, his first was arguably better. United had struggled to contain the Gunners' rapid counter-attacks in the opening exchanges and it only took Arsène Wenger's side six minutes to break the deadlock. Aaron Ramsey threaded through Mesut Ozil who, at full stretch, pulled back for Alexis to spectacularly flick past David de Gea from six yards.

Thanx, Juan.
Han Shan was a Chan Buddhist 'mad man' who lived remotely in high hills and pissed off the orthodox Buddhist community by running into temples during ceremonies and farting loudly during the sutra chanting and kow towing...the outraged righteous mobs would chase him from the temple and through the village while Han Shan laughingly calling out, ' HELP HELP! ! I'm being chased by mad men! ! '
He'd scratch his poems on rocks, on walls, on trees during the night and, thankfully, someone or ones wisely wrote them down...Han Shan is one of the progenitors of the 'crazy wisdom' tradition in Buddhism...
He's my kinda Holy (Mole) Man.
Zen and other 'flavors' of Buddhism is full of such mad ones. Jesus had a lotta 'chan n zen in him...just read his Sermons on the Mount and parables...mind and morality twisters! And He, too, was chased by mad men and answered tricksterishly to the powers that be, both sacred and secular.
Good wanderings to you...and here are some Han Shan poems available online for ready digestion!

My friend as one who has done his share of wandering in the mountains(California not the middle east) I am very intrigued by your poem, I think it is absolutely wonderful. I am ashamed to say that I have never read Zen or even met a Buddist but your poem is highly superior Warren. Thanks for sharing with another aging poet. (Report) Reply

Born and raised in Calgary, Spackman, 58, is a third-generation southern Albertan. He and his wife have two grown children.
He was an unusually independent child, avoiding such regular kid pursuits as Boy Scouts and team sports. So when Joan Dixon's then 15-year-old son Nik announced that he had signed up for army cadet training, she was understandably taken aback. "I had a hard time understanding why he would be interested in the military," she says. "I didn't think it would last long."

FORT STEWART, Ga. – In an effort to foster good fellowship and boost soldier morale, the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division's Unit Ministry Team hosted an opportunity for divine dining, March 27.
Scripture reading, prayer and special remarks from Chaplain (Col. retired) Alvin "Sonny" Moore were all a part of the Vanguard Brigade's first prayer breakfast of the year.
Spc. Christopher McKeithen, chaplain assistant with 4-3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th IBCT, said it is vital that soldiers have venues, like prayer breakfasts, to remain spiritually fit.
"Spiritual fitness is much like physical fitness," he said. "To be physically fit you have to work hard and practice. And, you have to practice your faith to become strong in it. That's exactly what a prayer breakfast allows soldiers to do."
McKeithen also said that the prayer breakfast provides Troops an opportunity to be a part of the 4th IBCT team.
"It lets the soldiers feel like they can be involved in something with their peers and their commanders outside of work," he said. "It motivates me to see people here having a good time, sharing in fellowship and with smiles on their faces. When you see the value of a prayer breakfast, it really validates all that we do in the Chaplain Corps."
Chaplain Maj. David Trogdon, 4th IBCT, shared similar sentiments.
"Where there is God, there is always help and hope," he said, adding that the UMTs are always available to help soldiers to stay spiritually strong.
Trogdon said the brigade plans to host a prayer breakfast, or similar event, each quarter.

What makes a dutiful daughter, wife, mother? What makes a good Indian woman?
Devi returns to Madras with an American degree, only to be sucked in by the old order of things-a demanding mother's love, a suitable but hollow marriage, an unsuitable lover who offers a brief escape. But the women of the hoary past come back to claim Devi through myth and story, music and memory. They show her what it is to stay and endure, what it is to break free and move on.
Sita has been the ideal daughter-in-law, wife and mother. But now that she has arranged a marriage for her daughter Devi, she has to come to terms with an old dream of her own. Mayamma knows how to survive as the old family retainer, bending the way the wind blows. But, through Devi, she too can see a different life.
A subtle and tender tale of women's lives in India, this award-winning novel is structured with the delicacy and precision of a piece of music. Fusing myth, tale and the real voices of different women, The Thousand Faces of Night brings alive the underworld of Indian women's lives.
From Reviews
"Githa Hariharan's fiction is wonderful - full of subtleties and humour and tenderness."
Michael Ondaatje
"Commandingly accurate..."
The Bookseller
"[An] exquisitely woven tale
Hariharan's language is poetic and teasing, but always
measured, drawing us in and never providing answers so we shift and yearn with Devi as
she realizes how many different faces and roles she has inherited
an important and truly
international book."
Meera Sayal in The Mail on Sunday
"[The novel] shows, with exceptional fictional skill, the subtle and everyday way in
which women are bludgeoned to play male-scripted subordinate roles."
India Today
"Githa Hariharan displays a control of the medium, a sophistication that would be the
envy of any contemporary writer. Her diction is pointed and the textures communicated
exquisite. In terms of technique, her writing is masterful... she cannot write of an
experience but will animate it with sharp and vivid life. There is not a single flat
sentence in the book."
The Economic Times
"Refreshing candour
Githa Hariharan writes tersely, concisely, yet most evocatively."
Hindustan Times
A novel that every Indian woman must read
and every Indian man."
"Githa Hariharan revels in colour, taste and smell
a novel about the elemental things of life: about
love and death, about men and women, story and myth..."
New Internationalist

Mass fight between cabbies, truck driver near airport caught on tape
Tuoi Tre
Updated : 09/11/2013 10:56 GMT + 7
A brawl between a group of cabbies and a truck driver that many said was straight out of an action movie occurred near Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat international airport on September 10.
Eyewitnesses said the fight stemmed from a minor collision between a truck and a taxi on Hong Ha Street at about 11:30am. At first, the truck driver kicked the taxi's side-view mirror and struck the cabbie.
After that, other taxi drivers quickly appeared and attacked the truck driver in support of their colleague. The scuffle, which caused a 15 minute-long traffic jam on the street, only ended once local policemen arrived.

How to Get New Landscaping and Lawn Service Clients FAST ?
Watch the Lawn Care Marketing Video Below First
Mowing grass and landscaping can be very profitable and easy to get up and running.
Here is a quick outline:
How To Start a Landscaping Company
- 1. First, make a business plan and stick to it. Be sure to include a budget for your company marketing.
- 2. Next, get some business cards and put up a website. The site does not need to be fancy, just a place potential customers can go for more information about your mowing company.
- 3. Then call, e-mail and Facebook everybody you know and tell them you are now in the lawn care business. Ask them to tell everyone they know.
- 4. Budget what you can spend on equipment. When your just starting, buy used commercial grade mowers and tools. You can get better equipment once you have some cash flow.
In order to start up a successful lawn care or landscaping business, there are a few more tips that you need to know. The good news is, starting this kind of venture is not really that hard at all. Just look at all the teenagers running around with a nice landscaping trailer, as well as some decent equipment like zero turn mowers. It doesn't require much, but you could really use some directions in order to be successful with your company. There are also many yards that need mowing in the United States and the green industry is growing.
Buy an Existing Landscaping Business or Start Your Own?
Many a starry eyed entrepreneur have thought that they could start a mowing service because "how hard could it be?
I know how to cut my own grass." Unless they have no money to start a lawn service, after spending thousands on commercial equipment they soon find that having a good cash flow and making a profit in the low baller lawn care market is not that easy. After a season or two they realize their mistake and sell their accounts and equipment. The best advice I can give about getting into this businesses, and can pay cash, is that buying an existing company is the best way to go. You will pay far less for the used equipment and the existing client accounts will provide some immediate cash flow.
What You Need To Start Your Own Mowing Company
The first and one of the most important things about starting up your very own service is, of course the will and full desire to do so. You should take this venture as an exciting game rather than a hard task. If you are not heartily into it, perhaps you should just go back home. The second thing you will need is craft your very own business plan for this certain type of endeavor. This would cover giving a good name for your lawn business, making a list of your starting expenses, jotting down a vision and mission statement, as well as coming up with a business plan for long and short-terms goals that you would like to achieve. After that, build up a number of points which will serve as your main keys towards success for the business. Lastly, you should lay out the necessary steps that must be taken by you in order to meet up with your long and short-term goals.
The Maintenance Equipment You Should Have
This is definitely one of the biggest steps that will lead towards prosperity for your startup. As a novice yourself, you need to be oriented with the professional equipment necessary. To name some would be a walk-behind mower and a zero turn if you can afford it, a back pack blower, an edger, a weed eater and, of course the hand tools. These are the main types of equipment that would be essential for the initial chapter of your lawn service journey. For the business end of things it would be a good idea to pick up some lawn business software to keep track of accounts and invoices. Though this equipment can cost you quite a lot, there are ways that you can follow in order to save on them. Rather than buying from the very first equipment store you find, take some time to look through other sources out there. You can also go through sites like your local Craigslist.com and Ebay.com as there is a high failure rate for outdoor service type businesses.
Landscaper Licensing (working legally)
Generally speaking the legal barriers to entry for a grounds maintenance company are very low. You should get a county business license as well as liability insurance. Your liability insurance will run you between $400 and $700 dollars depending on where you live. Some services you may be contemplating offering will come with more stringent requirements. Sprinkler repair or low voltage lighting in many states necessitate a separate licensing procedure as well as testing along with proof of time spent working in the industry. Pest control is highly regulated in most areas as well. However, most landscapers repair irrigation and lighting and spray RoundUp with no problems and it pays very well.
Getting an Employee ID or Tax Identification Number for Your Lawn Care Company
If you starting a new lawn care company it can cost plenty of money getting all the proper legal documents prepared. You are both qualified and competent to complete many of the legal documents that you encounter. Most business documents that you will need are located online in a PDF format. I will walk you through the process of getting a Tax Identification Number.
Your Tax ID or Employer ID is like having a Social Security number for your business and allows you to pay taxes. You will need this number in conjunction with your Articles of Incorporation (Corporation) or Articles of Formation (Limited Liability Company) or DBA Certificate (Fictitious Name Filings) to get a business checking account with the business name on it. You will also use this number to build business credit for your lawn care company.
- Step 1: Go to the official IRS website. CLICK HERE FOR A LINK.
- Step 2: Click on the link titled APPLY ONLINE NOW.
- Step 3: Click on the BEGIN APPLICATION.
- Step 4: Choose the appropriate legal structure for your business. We chose Corporation for our example.
- Step 5: Unless you chose S-Corp. Click CORPORATION and continue.
- Step 1: Step 6: Be sure to read the business type description to confirm you have chosen the appropriate business structure.
- Step 2: Step 7: Choose the STARTED NEW BUSINESS button and click CONTINUE.
- Step 3: Step 8: Choose the INDIVIDUAL SELECTION unless your lawn care company will be owned by another Business Entity.
For security reasons we couldn't show you the next steps, however follow the directions closely and you are on your way. The entire process should only take you about 12-15 minutes. Services like this would normally cost $50-300. You just saved yourself some valuable start-up capital by doing it yourself. Now you're thinking like a good CEO.
How You Can Get Grass Cutting Clients
Now that you have everything set to start your business, the final and the most crucial thing you should know is how to bring in customers. This requires coming up with some lawn care marketing ideas. First of all, you can print out some lawn care flyers or door hangers, pass them to your friends or even with your family that would somehow let them do the promotion for you. Those fliers should contain your contact details, of course so that customers will be able to inquire to your service right away. It would also be best to offer discounts to the very first 20 or so clients so that they will be hyped to avail your services. When starting, the two things you have to have for efficient advertising is a phone and phone number committed only to your business (with a business greeting) and landscaping business cards printed for dispersing to present and prospective customers. Do this since having a dedicated business phone and business cards assists to identify your service company as a genuine and professional lawn care company in the minds of your clients. I recommend Vista print for your business cards due to the fact that they have easy to use software and are very cost effective.
Lawn Care Marketing; How to Start a Landscaping Business Fast Using Online Advertising
Advertising and marketing is exactly what separates the successes from the failures. The objective to remember in all of your marketing and advertising is that projecting and preserving an expert image is essential. You can do the best work in town, however if your business doesn't project an image that mirrors that, you will continuously struggle to discover customers and work. There are four main outlets for advertising your yard care business that will yield respectable returns on your financial investment.
1) Internet site
There is absolutely nothing that will get you more calls than an expert looking and useful internet site. It is a bigger cost of both money and time in advance, but produces yields that exceed any other marketing technique. As soon as this is done, an internet site will need nothing but periodic upgrading of pictures and updating. A fantastic internet site is the key in the yard care market for numerous reasons listed. To begin with, not many lawn care, pressure cleaning, irrigation repair, and landscape lighting companies have internet sites and the ones that do generally have very amateur or sloppy websites, which does not gain customers. This indicates that there is less competitors online and it is easy to rank your website on the top pages of Google and on Google business listings in a relatively brief amount of time when making use of proper lawn care SEO techniques. Think about adding a local lawn care blog like this one about lawn care in Chicago to your website so that you can easily add fresh content. Even more individuals than ever are browsing the web to discover services because of how easy and fast it is to do and you need to take advantage of that. As an added bonus offer for having a web site, you will get a bulk of the calls from individuals that possess second homes in your area or that are out of town and forgot to make plans for their lawn service. These people are frequently the very best customers since: 1) They aren't there to complain about anything and 2) They are generally going to pay greater rates because of their have to get it done. This lets your consumers contact you by any means of email or contact form on your website so that you can begin to build an e-mail list to send out landscape discounts or fast communication with your clients which will conserve you hours of time and energy over the life of your business.
2) Word of Mouth
This could appear simple or insignificant, but you would be shocked the number of people do not utilize this technique of getting their company name and reputation out there to the degree that it could be utilized. This is a great tactic and everyone likes to hear about others experience with a landscaping company. This method is not actually efficient till you have a few customers, but once you do make sure to ASK to suggest your business to possible new customers. Be direct about this and even provide to contact anyone whose name they offer you. Don't be excessively aggressive about it to the point of being annoying, however being assertive and considerate and you will find that this is a great way to obtain new clients. Offer a business card for the customer to keep and even an extra one that the customer could give to someone that they know. One of the very best rewards of word of mouth marketing is that you will oftentimes get numerous consumers in one area. This is extremely advantageous since close together houses require less travel time and correspond to greater profits per hour. Most importantly, this approach of advertising doesn't cost you a penny!
3) Yellow Page Ads
This method of marketing your business is good (maybe for a little while longer) but not that popular anymore since the internet, however it is still efficient, particularly with the older generation who prefers using the Yellow pages instead of the internet. Make certain you speak with an agent and ask for offers such as a two for one cost where you can promote under both landscaping and lawn care or a little freebie included somewhere such as a complimentary pressure cleaning advertisement or text ad. Most of these service companies are hurting, for business with the increase of the Internet, so use that to your advantage. The main issue with Yellow page ads is that every company in your area has one, so ensure that yours stands apart. Hand over a little more cash for a slightly larger advertisement with your site, contact number, services, and anything that sets you apart or that will help you stick out and it will pay huge dividends. Make sure that it is interesting, to the point, which it lets individuals understand what they are getting the moment they see it. These ads can get a bit costly, particularly if you are in a huge city given that rates is based upon distribution, but most of the times is worth the investment if you are wanting to grow your business.
4) Direct Circulation Mail
Direct circulation is preferred, but has definitely dreadful returns on your effort and time most of the times with an extremely low conversion rate. I have discovered that it is worth it to do this just in locations where you currently have a customer so that that in your copy you can state something along the lines of "(Your Company Name) is presently doing work for consumers in your community and would like to provide our expert services to you also." Then list the types of services that your business offers and if there are any specials that you might have. Because putting mail in people's mailboxes is against the law, just attach your business card to the flag of the mailbox. These fliers should look professional and only be twice the size of a business card. When writing your marketing copy, don't let clients infer that you are the most inexpensive around, however rather that you are the very best and that you are an expert in town. Fighting low price wars is a losing situation for everyone, so do not play that game.

text: Yeah.. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with the MM/H&R combo by itself. Like Wes said, the spacer is only a means to adjust the height of the rear of the car. The MM/H&R combo by itself lowered the rear of my car about a half inch more than I wanted it to, so this spacer raised it back up to where I wanted it. I only showed pics of the front in my most recent picture post, to illustrate that when you raise the back of the car up by a half inch from the MM/H&R only combo, that the wheel gap becomes the same at both the front and rear wheels. I much prefer the look of a uniform wheel gap at all four corners, rather than some gap at the front wheels, and a slight tuck at the rear wheels. I did nothing at all to the front suspension because I liked, and still like, the height that the H&R springs left it at.

When the Arizona Wildcats travel long distances, Mandie Perez opens up her playbook and goes over the signs her third-base coach, Mike Candrea, signals to players at bat - whether it's a bunt, take, swing-away sign or other more subtle instructions.
"I'm weird," she said. "I don't want to forget them."
The freshman left fielder will have plenty of time to study up this week.
Monday night, the No. 22 Arizona Wildcats (26-13, 4-5) took a five-hour bus ride to Las Cruces, N.M., where they will play a doubleheader at New Mexico State (26-13, 8-1) starting at 4 today.
The Wildcats will return late tonight, practice Wednesday and spend half their Thursday flying to Eugene, Ore., for a weekend series at the Ducks.
On a three-game win streak, the UA will have to win on the road to better their No. 26 RPI. The Wildcats play 11 of their final 17 regular-season games on the road.
"To be good," Candrea said, "you have to be able to play well on the road."
He's not quite sure how his team will react.
The Wildcats have played road tournaments this year, but only one true road series. The last weekend in March, they took two of three at Utah.
"You don't know 'til you go through it," Candrea said. "I think sometimes the less you talk about it, the more you get after it and do it, the better off you are."
Some of the challenges of the road have little to do with the game itself, Candrea said.
"The amount of time you have in a hotel, the downtime," he said. "At least when you're at home, you can keep the schedule you usually have.
"There, you're kinda captured."
The comforts of home netted the Wildcats two five-inning, mercy rule wins against UC-Santa Barbara last weekend.
The UA, which won the last game of the Cal series Wednesday, outscored the Gauchos 21-2 in two wins. They had 25 hits to their opponents' nine.
"I hope this is the beginning of a new chapter, and that we can turn this season around completely," first baseman Hallie Wilson said. "I think we're still in the running. I don't care what the NCAA rankings say."
Asked whether the team's youth made road trips difficult - Arizona counts five underclassmen among its regular starting lineup, plus two newcomers in the circle - Wilson posited the opposite theory.
"Because our team is so young, our team isn't all that used to Hillenbrand anyway," she said. "I think we're the same team on the road as at home."
When Perez is done triple-checking her playbook, she plans on watching Netflix.
Monday, she said she wasn't sure what she'd watch this week.
But with about 20 hours of travel this week, she'll have plenty of time to catch up.
"I haven't been on the road a lot with the team," she said. "I'm kinda excited."
Road warriors
The Arizona Wildcats will play 11 of their last 17 regular-season games on the road. Here's a look at their schedule:
• Today: doubleheader at New Mexico State
• Friday-Sunday: at Oregon
• April 18-20: UCLA
• April 26-28: at Oregon State
• May 3-5: Arizona State
• May 9-11: at Stanford

Penny was first introduced to Ashtanga Yoga back in 2010, under the guidance of Teacher War War. After 3 years of consistent practise, she was truly inspired by her teacher and that eventually lead her to pursue her yoga study further by taking up the 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher training course with OhmSantih Yoga. Upon completion of the course, she continued to pursue a specialized certification in Prenatal/ Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training and successfully completed it. Being a certified yoga teacher under the Yoga Alliance of US, she primarily teaches the traditional Ashtanga Yoga and Prenatal Yoga with the integration of the anatomical and philosophical teachings of yoga.
With a degree in Pharmaceutical Management, she has a strong background in human anatomy and physiology and thus, she is able to integrate this knowledge into her classes to minimize injuries and maximise class experiences for her students. Each of her yoga classes are deeply rooted in her knowledge of anatomy and as well as her love of dynamic movements. With that, she strives to bring awareness to mind, body and spirit for each and every of her students.

He calls the story of Petraeus's affair with Paula Broadwell a "shakespearian twist."
There was the Shylock, the shakespearian method, of a pound of flesh from near the heart.
Of all the contemporaries of Shakespeare, Webster is the most shakespearian.
The fool he looked for was one which it takes a wise man to make—a shakespearian fool.
The shakespearian, the Dantesque, are in a line, two at most.
At the end is inserted a leaf containing a list of 'Quarto's wanted' to complete the collection of shakespearian editions.
