|Hyper Metal
|Hero Number
|Paradigm Shift
|Vermilion Hyperdrive
Hyper Metal (also referred to as Metal) is a playable hero in Paradigm. It is one of the paid heroes.
Hyper Metal was an experiment created by a bunch of human-monkey hybrid overlords, its purpose being to be the most effective weapon for battle. Having been programmed with a free will by one of the scientists in secret, it refused to obey its masters on start-up and obliterated all of them, going out to seek out ideal uses for itself.
On its way to seek uses, it was attacked by a bunch of monkeys, who tore at its body and made it look tattered and torn. While it managed to kill these extra monkeys off, the robot was severely injured, and fell onto the ground, having been weakened severely. It laid there for a few days, but was discovered by another scientist, this one being just human.
After several touches in the human's lab, Hyper Metal wasn't quite fully repaired, but it tried to escape upon starting up again. Having been stopped via the call of its name, the scientist explained that if it wanted to do something, it should enter the Paradigm to prove its strength -- or something like that. Although rather reluctant at first, it decided to dive straight into the action.
Hyper Metal is a lanky, grey monkey-like robot with several red patches and tears in its body. Its eyes are black with green pupils, and has protective, black-and-red armor around the arms and backside. Its arms and legs are as long as its main body, but can extend and retract if necessary. Attached to its feet are rocket propellers, which allow it to levitate in the air.
Hyper Metal is a light. glass cannon type character. It has average health, high damage, and high speed, but has a very weak defense that allows it to get pummeled in no time. As such, players must play carefully and try to avoid getting hit, and also pay attention to Hyper Metal's attacks, as their end lag can be quite punishable.
- Hyper Metal is somewhat inspired by the Metal Sonic character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

You blink and school's almost over and it's summer time. Luckily we're approaching June and the Kings' season is far from being over. Unluckily, I'm forced to continue to wear my Playoff Beard. What we won't do for our teams!
Similarly, there isn't much we won't do for our clients. We recently embarked on a quest to significantly improve the quality of service we deliver to our clients. We started by meeting with our clients one on one and getting direct and detailed feedback about how we're doing. Based on what we heard, we're making some changes around here that we believe will have a major impact on the quality of service we deliver. Beyond lip service, we're making some real and meaningful changes. We've reorganized some of our Client Teams. We've hired a Manager of Remote Support. We're continuing to hire more and more technical staff. And we're spending more and more time on training. Check out my recent blog to learn more. While things won't change overnight, we're really excited by these changes and look forward to seeing how they will play out over the coming months. So, stay tuned...
While we're moving forward with these changes, we continue to move forward on other fronts as well. As the Cloud continues to make inroads, one of the areas we're seeing a lot of activity on is where we're moving more and more clients to Office365. While it may not be cost effective for everyone, this does seem to be the most logical first step for clients who are looking to get some of their infrastructure offsite and into the cloud. We're also seeing more and more movement in the VoIP area. We've had a number of successful ShoreTel implementations over the last few months. ShoreTel has become the "no brainer" VoIP solution of choice. If you want a rock solid, feature rich, cost effective phone solution - ShoreTel is hard to beat! Server Virtualization continues to be a cost effective solution to address on-premise server needs. At the same time, our own FPA VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) solution is becoming more and more popular. This is where we build a virtual private cloud solution hosting everything other than the local workstations. Again, another unique solution offering we can provide. Lastly (and probably the least glamorous), growth in our BDR (Backup & Disaster Recovery) solution continues unabated.
While you may read and hear about the "death of the PC" and the growth in tablets - and we're certainly seeing more and more integration of tablets into the work flow - we're still not necessarily seeing the death of the PC per se. What we are seeing is the continued growth in the reliance on technology, the need to access technology at different times of the day (blurring the work / life line), and the need to access information from different platforms more than ever before. As they say, the only thing constant in the universe is change. This just means that as an IT Service Provider, we have to know more than ever before and be better at it all helping fuel our clients' success. To us, this is a challenge that drives us - certainly it keeps us striving towards greatness!
Lastly, there have been and continue to be breach upon breach of information stored in the cloud. This isn't to say that the cloud is bad - just that we need to be aware of the playing field and all that it brings with it. We have a couple of items below about these very breaches as well as some different suggestions on how you can protect yourself. If you can, check out the link to some some tools to help you manage your passwords more effectively.
That said, please enjoy this newsletter. We hope you find what we've put together for you to be valuable. And here's to the start of a great summer!
Oh, and Go Kings Go!

Hackers Raid eBay in Historic Breach, Access 145 Million Records!
EBay Inc said that hackers raided its network three months ago, accessing some 145 million user records in what is poised to go down as one of the biggest data breaches in history, based on the number of accounts compromised. It advised customers to change their passwords immediately, saying they were among the pieces of data stolen by cyber criminals who carried out the attack between late February and early March.

Seeing Hidden Passwords in a Browser Takes a Few Simple Steps
Passwords are a royal pain in our digital lives. If you create one that's simple, it isn't safe. If you create one that's safe, you'll never remember it. On top of that, you really need to have a unique password for every account and Web site in case a hacker gets hold of one of them. With regular data breaches of millions of usernames and passwords happening at major companies like Target and Michaels, it's a very real worry.
That's why it's such a relief your Web browser stores passwords for you. You can create the hardest passwords around and not have to remember any of them. Even better, your browser will fill in passwords automatically for you. Unfortunately, there is a catch that no one likes to talk about. Read more here.
Half of American Adults Hacked This Year
Hackers have exposed the personal information of 110 million Americans -- roughly half of the nation's adults -- in the last 12 months alone.
That massive number, tallied for CNNMoney by Ponemon Institute researchers, is made even more mind-boggling by the amount of hacked accounts: up to 432 million. The exact number of exposed accounts is hard to pin down, because some companies - such as AOL and eBay - aren't fully transparent about the details of their cyber breaches. But that's the best estimate available with the data tracked by the Identity Theft Resource Center and CNNMoney's own review of corporate disclosures. The damage is real. Read more here.
Microsoft Gets Lots Right With Surface Pro 3
Microsoft had Apple in the cross hairs when it introduced the Surface Pro 3 tablet last week. Every one of Apple's tablet rivals has iPad-envy after all. What was unexpected was the degree to which Microsoft hammered its claim that the newest Surface also is meant to duke it out against Apple's popular MacBook Air laptop as well. Left unsaid was that Surface Pro 3 might also slug it out against any number of Ultrabook computers though Microsoft was understandably reluctant to utter such a thing out loud since Windows software is the lifeblood of Ultrabooks.

What's the Best Password Manager?
In the wake of the Heartbleed bug, which put so many passwords at risk, one has to ask - which is the best password manager? Well, there are a lot of them -including LastPass, Dashlane, 1Password, Keeper, and PasswordBox. PC Magazine said it this week: "Going online without a Password Manager is risky business."

How IT Can Establish Better Cloud Control
There's no getting
around it: Employees who use SaaS applications are more irresponsible
about password security, file transfer and IT compliance. But IT's
failure to communicate about risky behavior and provide tools to help
employees do their work is part of the problem. Here are steps you
can take to bring SaaS back under control. Read

I'm very pleased to present a lecture by Christina Oakley Harrington, founder of Treadwell's Bookshop in London, a former Pagan Federation Committee member, and a former university lecturer in History. The talk: "Paganism in Britain Today: Observations, Issues, Trends" takes a snapshot of Pagan thinking and theology today."Why are some pagans saying Paganism is not a religion? For the Pagans who identify as Witches, is there any liminality left to them? Is the Goddess an oppressive concept, if gender is not binary, as science suggests? What's the role of mystery in an information age? Pagans in 2011 engage with these issues, consciously or unconsciously; tonight's speaker surveys the … [Read more...]

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
No internet yet it was clearly a business hotel.
Clean comfortable room reasonable close to the old town
nothing no facilities, location extremely noisy and felt like staying in a run down block of flats. Nothing endearing about this hotel at all, left early
The staff was very helpful and accommodating amd recommended and excellend restaurant for us in the historic district. The hotel is located about a mile from the historical center of Michelstadt in a residential neighborhood. This is fine if you have a car, but you are isolated if you are travelling by train. The only restaurant is in the hotel and it is closed on Monday.
Very friendly staff and the quad room was perfect for us and our 2 children. Good size. Close to the old town.
It's location is perfect. Right on the Main River with a view of the Klingenberg castle on the opposite hill with the lovely little town below of Klingenberg below, The staff is always very nice as is the food . That's why we always stay there on our Europe trips. And our name is Klingenberg ! No
I have stayed several times, and the rooms and meals are always excellent. Large rooms. A bit difficult to check on on a weekend (not staffed at all hours).
Very nicely furnished, large room. Good breakfast included. Free parking. Strong free wireless internet.
Huge room and huge bathroom. Very good breakfast. Bedroom and bathroom were on opposite sides of hallway.
I have stayed at this hotel many times and always enjoy my time there. The breakfast is excellent, also.
Countryside lodge setting and environment, but nearby to villages and cities. Would be helpful to have more multi-lingual staff.
they put me in a smokersroom and i requested a non smoking room. and a lot off stairs to climb to go to your room

There are lots of kinds of showers to pick from, like handheld showers. You could want to take into consideration the massage handheld showerheads, specifically if you have back, leg, or related problems.Overhead showers are yet another type of shower you may wish to consider.
Good shower heads enable you to readjust the water spray pattern, readjusting it to a light mist, wide spray, or strong direct spray for massage. You can easily get handheld showers to massage your body. The water pressure comes from the showerhead, which you would like to consider bath room accessories that you can readjust. The only thing that may limit your showerhead is the water pressure provided through the pipe, and this may be something to consider when choosing a shower head.
How do I pick?
Handheld showers provide you a variety of reasons to pick the restroom accessory. If you have a handicap, or have an individual handicap in your residence, the handheld showers offer you or the person the option of controlling water pressure, motion, etc. The handheld showers are nice even, because you can easily wash your hair. It is annoying when taking a bath, and dipping your head in grimy water to rinse. The handheld shower takes care of this. If you are a caregiver, the handheld shower is idea, since you can use one hand to hold up your customer and the some other to control the handheld. You can even place a bath chair in the tub for the person to rest; or for yourself and loosen up while the water dribbles down your flesh.
Some showerheads do not cost a great deal, yet some showerheads can easily cost quite a fortune. It depends on where you go shopping, or exactly what type of tool you buy. Most of the time, you can choose the showerheads up at your regional hardware outlets or maybe at Wal-Mart
How do I install my handheld shower?
There should be instructions to help you out, but if not it's not tough to do. The handheld showers generally hook up to your element. You will likely have a small clamp, which mounts to the side of your shower wall. If you need to drill holes, make certain that you make use of a bond to secure the holes, securing it. If the holes fill with water, it can rust your walls. You can easily make use of fluid concrete or a silicone to secure the holes. This will cease the water from going in the holes
How do I ensure long life from my handheld shower?
Maintenance isn't challenging to do, however like all showers, there's some maintenance needed. Still, the only thing you have to do is watch for corrosion develop and the lime. If this happens you can easily go to your local hardware shop and get a cleaner that will certainly care for this complication for you.
Handheld showers offer you a selection of causes to choose the bathroom accessory. If you have a handicap, or have a person handicap in your home, the handheld showers offer you or the individual the choice of controlling water pressure, movement, etc. If you are a caregiver, the handheld shower is idea, because you can easily utilize one hand to hold up your patient and the other to control the handheld.

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
Where can i get kitchen ,cabinet and refrigerator?
i don even know where 2 buy all tis stuff cause i juz started playing.So pls help me......TQ
alvin94 - 8 years ago
You have to watch the television for it. When the tv is on press the Left Arrow to get the show. It'll tell you what you can buy for that week. I think you need to buy a mirror and a clock before you get the fridge cabinet and kitchen though.
It says you have to make a phone call so make your way over to the Inn and go up to the counter where Doug sells food-You should see a phone. Phone calls cost something like 10g. You buy your purchase there and the monday after you call it will arrive.
lolpancakes - 8 years ago
The shopping network channel is only on the t.v on saturdays
diablo5843 - 8 years ago
to buy refrigerator you must upgrade your house
and watch your TV on saturday and press left arrow after that go to inn where ann and doug live
you should see phone and press A in phone
mamentz - 8 years ago
First of all you have to upgrade your house, It cost 3, 000g and 200 lumbers. After that watch Tv Shopping Network (Saturdays at the left station). When you watched Tv Shopping Network go to the Inn (opened 8:00 - 21:00) at the upper right side you will see a phone and call there.
alexasaniel - 8 years ago
On Saturdays, go to the tv and press left button and buy it by going to Doug's inn and use the telphone beside the counter on the right.
redtropic9913 - 7 years ago
First you need the second house upgrade. then on Saturdays watch the channel on the right. After it tells you what you can buy, go to the Inn and order it from the phone. Make sure you have an extra 10 gold with you. The item will arrive two days later, so if you should order it Thursday and receive it on Monday. Zack will tell you it is shipped safe, and it will be in your home.
64starchild - 7 years ago
Watch the TV on Sat. and choose the left channel which the shopping channel. Watch it and then call them by going to use the phone in the Inn in Town.
ProfKellyn - 7 years ago
To get these you need to have your house upgraded by Gotz the wood cutter who is found in a cabin south and then to the right of your farm. Once your house is upgraded watch the Shopping Network on Saturday by pressing left on the direction pad. Once you have watched this go to the Inn which opens at 8:00am everyday(i think). The Inn is located directly below the shop which is next to the hospital. Walk into the Inn and walk up and to the right and click on the phone. Call the Shopping Network and buy the item, wait 2-3 days(normally 2).
Note this does not work unless you watch the Shopping Network on Saturday.

I would have suggested digging a trench and lining with plastic or planks of wood, or a strip of metal. I'm surprised the plastic didn't work.
I'm afraid that weed suppressant fabric wouldn't be strong enough. The roots would go under it then suckers would grow up lifting the fabric up. That happened to me with Spirea Billardii.
Morning all.
I'm sure you will be a comfort to your friend Lily P.
Thanks Joyce, best night's sleep for a week.
I had a quiet day yesterday, weather wasn't very good anyway, sorting out the slides and notes for the talk I'm giving on Thursday about creating an English garden in France. I probably won't sleep well tomorrow!
Veg garden needs attention. Don't think the perpetual spinach has germinated, and bean poles and tomato posts need putting up.
I hope you find the cable Dove.
Thank you everyone for all the compliments for my garden There have been some gorgeous photos since mine.
Lovely colours, Yviestevie.
David asked " How did your rose renovations go?" They worked well for Meg and one Mme Alfred Carrière which are romping away, but the other Mme Alfred has finally died. She's been removed, soil changed and a climber called "Belle Epoque", which I had never heard of and was recommended by the man in the nursery, has been planted.
Lovely photo, Fairygirl, I love the way the rock and his colours match, I know Joyce has said and I agree.
Beautiful moving poem, Dove.
DD, your garden will be fine, it's always been lovely when I've seen it.

There is a strange squarish icon on the top right of the bar on your reply box, it is the camera icon. Click on it and it will tell you what to do next, it goes to your files.
Thank you Lily P and the others on the page before. I wanted to refer to some of them but my fuzzy brain has dropped them. Bother!
One thing, obelixx said it was Mother's Day yesterday, but here in France it's on the 29th May.
Gloomy cool day here. I'm working on my garden talk for Thursday.
Looks great Baz, sorry about the frost, but it's not too late to plant and sow. Sweet corn, runner beans and French beans, carrots, beetroot, spinach can all be sown in May and I expect other things can too. One year I just pushed outdoor cucumber seeds into the ground where there were spare places, in May, and I had loads.
Thank you for all your messages of sympathy. It's heart warming to know you are all there.
Apart from the news of our friends, the garden open day went pretty well I think. I'll put some photos on Garden Pictures when I've sorted them and put them on my laptop - if I can.
On Saturday night I was in the middle of posting to Daniel on the forum thread when my laptop turned itself off. Then it re-started and said I wasn't to touch it as it was installing Windows 10. I hadn't asked it to, I was goin to leave it until after my Power Point talk on Thursday. In the morning it said "Welcome Liz", my laptop has never called me Liz before, only Elizabeth! How did it know?
I haven't uploaded photos yet, I hope it hasn't changed too much.
What a nuisance, Dove. I suppose it will save you money at Woottens.
Thank you everyone for your encouragement and best wishes.
This morning I had some tragic news. Some friends of ours had a car accident and ended up in their car in the river Dronne near Brantome. They were both drowned. They were a lovely couple, about 20 years older than me but full of life and enthusiasm. They came to lunch with us 2 weeks ago and we were going to lunch with them this Tuesday. They come here in the summer and live in England in winter.I was feeling quite shell shocked this morning. I don't know their family in England, I expect they will come here but they probably won't know who all the friends in France are.
My Open Garden was successful, I think. People were very nice about it. Someone said it was exquisite. The cake went down well. But it was very windy and cloudy. Lots of tea and coffee were drunk but not cold drinks. 54 people came, mostly English. Only one French man came despite all my advertising and talking to local French people.

Description: Health care reform has dominated public discourse over the past several years, and the recent passage of the Affordable Care Act, rather than quell the rhetoric, has sparked even more debate. Donald A. Barr reviews the current structure of the American health care system, describing the historical and political contexts in which it developed and the core policy issues that continue to confront us today. This comprehensive analysis introduces the various organizations and institutions that make the U.S. health care system work -- or fail to work, as the case may be. A principal message of this book is the seeming paradox of the quality of health care in this country -- on one hand it is the best medical care system in the world, on the other it is one of the worst among developed countries because of how it is organized. Barr introduces readers to broad cultural issues surrounding health care policy, such as access, affordability, and quality. He discusses specific elements of U.S. health care, including insurance, especially Medicare and Medicaid, the shift to for-profit managed care, the pharmaceutical industry, issues of long-term care, the plight of the uninsured, medical errors, and nursing shortages. The latest edition of this widely adopted text updates the description and discussion of key sectors of America's health care system in light of the Affordable Care Act. Praise for previous editions "Excellent starting point for exploring the complexities of U.S. healthcare." -- Future Survey "This book stands out for its emphasis on the historical roots of modern health care institutions... Barr's new book has much to recommend it." -- JAMA "A lucid and informative overview of the U.S. health system and the dilemmas policy makers currently face... Even those knowledgeable about the U.S. health care system are likely to find much to stimulate their thinking." -- Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine "Barr's book is intended to inform the reader of the complex history of health care in the United States." -- Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved

When the smoothest guy in high school asks him to aid and abet a ring of high-tech cheaters, Karl flatly refuses. But then the tyrannical assistant principal makes an example of a hapless student - and threatens anyone caught cheating with expulsion and an indelible stain on their permanent record. This means war!
With a droll narrator and a delightfully intricate plot, this satire of school pressures and modern-day ethics will provide welcome laughs between exams.
©2008 Michael Laser; (P)2008 Penguin
"The hot topic and fast-paced story line hold appeal." (Horn Book)
"[A] sardonic look at high school pressures...raise[s] the intriguing topic of who cheats and why." (KLIATT)
"Good story for young teens"
Good story, though I think I would have liked it better as a paperback. I think the 11-16 yr olds will enjoy it.

Our GP is not one of those clinics that offer travel vaccines so it cost us £14.50 each for 2 vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria and polio, typhoid, hepatitis A and some combined vaccines, such as combined hepatitis A and B . In 6-12months we must go for a booster so in January or June 2012 we have to go back.
Do not go to one of those Travel Clinics as you will end up paying easily £45 per dose.
We had only some of the vaccines done as in the area we are going to, not all are needed and you can always check on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for the country you go to and what is recommended.
Travel jabs on the NHS
Not all travel vaccinations are available free on the NHS, even if they're recommended for travel to a certain area. As a general rule, the following travel jabs are usually free:
- tetanus, diphtheria and polio booster
- typhoid
- hepatitis A and some combined vaccines, such as combined hepatitis A and B
- cholera
You almost certainly have to pay for vaccinations against meningococcal meningitis, hepatitis B, yellow fever, rabies, tuberculosis, Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis, regardless of whether you have the vaccinations at your GP surgery or at a private travel clinic.

Create a website at little-to-no cost without having any knowledge of internet coding. However, if you want to code, you have full HTML/CSS access.

Have as visually appealing templates as some other website builders (SquareSpace, Weebly, Wix), import/export your website, drag-and-drop contents to anywhere on the page (limited to page sections)
Who does it work well for?
Restaurants, accountants, dentists, and other businesses that are worried more about ease-of-use and information over graphic/design appeal
Who does it not work well for?
Architects, Graphic designers, artists, and others who require a visually stunning site. Also, probably not the best choice for high-powered e-commerce businesses. Check out Squarespace, Weebly, and Wix.

Yola Pricing
Yola's pricing includes both free and paid plan options. Yola's free plan has less pages, less storage, less bandwidth, displays Yola ads, and does not allow for any kind of custom domain. With each level of service you pay for, storage increases, bandwidth increases, and your SEO and general site features increase. In my opinion, the Professional plan is the best option for the average small business owner.
Free – 3 pages, 1 GB bandwidth, 1 GB storage, Yola Subdomain, Yola ads included, no custom domain option
Basic (Bronze) – $5.95/month, unlimited pages, unlimited bandwidth, use your own custom domain or get a free custom domain, premium support, still has Yola ads
Professional (Silver) – $12.95/month, Basic Plan + 5GB storage, no Yola ads, premium templates, advanced editing options, mobile-ready website, facebook publishing options, 3,000 professional photos
Unlimited (Gold) – $16.66/month, Professional Plan + Unlimited storage, a variety of high-powered SEO tools, Yola business directory listing
Yola Online Store Package – $10/month additional charge (add to any plan), 1000 products, integrated tax and real-time shipping quotes, inventory management, order tracking, Facebook store, social media integration, coupons and discounts
For more detailed pricing and feature information, check out Yola's plan comparison page.
Ease of use
Yola's builder is pretty easy-to-use. You can edit things without too much hassle, although it takes a couple of minutes to get used to everything. There were several things I did not like. First, the location of the builder editing bar changes based on what actions you are performing, sometimes it is up top and sometimes it is on the left, which is visually confusing. Second, at least using the free version, you can only customize pre-set areas of the template. In other words, it is not a true drag-and-drop builder.
Yola advertises more customization for its more premium plans, but it is really only for users who want to code. I took the Professional/Silver plan for a test run and the editor/customization options were the same. For the typical user/builder, nothing changes. After 15-20 minutes of building, this is what I came up with.

Detailed Overview
If I was going to pick one word to describe Yola, it would be average. The website builder is fine, but nothing special. The templates are adequate, but not great. And the prices are right in-line with other builders.
There were several things that were above average. For instance, the ecommerce features provided are actually pretty good. You can get real-time shipping quotes for USPS, UPS, DHL, FeD-Ex and others, which I have never seen at this price point (SquareSpace offers real-time for just USPS). Also, there are lots of payment integrations and some solid inventory management options. If it were not for the average quality themes, I would be tempted to look into it more for my business. The SEO scan you get with the unlimited plan could be handy as well.
Surprisingly, there are not that many Yola reviews out there compared to other builders. The one's I saw reflect my general opinion, average. There were some good and some bad. All in all, I think you could do better with Weebly, Wix, or SquareSpace.
1. Number and Quality of Free Themes/Themes in General
Yola only has 10 available themes at the free/basic level, and their quality is fine, but not great when compared to Squarespace's or Wix's. Professional and Unlimited plans advertise premium templates, but I actually preferred the free ones. The premium templates were all very similarly styled, with a header up-top and a big body of text beneath, that was kind of just a big box in the middle of the page.
Here's one of the premium themes
Here are 6 of the free themes
2. Customizability of themes/design (Drag and drop, html access)
I was not super impressed with the customizability of Yola's builder. You could only populate content in pre-ordained sections of the page. With professional and unlimited plans, Yola advertises advanced customization options, which is really just added access to HTML/CSS code. Although handy for a coder, the customization options are no different for the average user who is just using the traditional builder.
Here's what the builder looks like.
3. Custom Domain Options/internal hosting?
With Yola's free plan, you are stuck with a sub-domain of Yola. With all paid plans, you have the option of using a custom domain you already own or getting a free custom domain through Yola.
4. SEO Friendly
Yola allows you to access/edit your meta tags and page descriptions with every plan, giving you all the tools you need for SEO success. With the unlimited plan, you also get free site-search SEO optimization scans.
5. Ecommerce/online option
You can add an ecommerce store to any of your Yola plans for an additional $10/month. You can sell 1000 products, get real-time shipping quotes (great feature for this price point), integrate with Paypal, and have a Facebook store. Really, the features are pretty good. The user reviews are inconclusive however from their current users as to how it works for their business.
6. Mobile Friendly
You do not get any mobile-site option until the professional and unlimited plans. For those plans, you get both a mobile-site and a mobile-site editor. However, the lower plans have basic versions that kind of work on mobile devices, although not that great. Here's what mine looked like. Notice there is not picture, just text and the dropdown menu.
7. Reporting
From what I can tell, you can integrate Google analytics with any of the plan options, which would give you reporting options at every level. However, you do not get higher end Yola reporting features until the unlimited plan, which has keyword reports and other options.
8. Email Capture/Newsletter Subscription
Yola integrates with Constant Contact, a third-party email marketing solution. So, you can capture emails and let people sign up for newsletters using their service. But, it will cost you an additional $15 or more per month to get a Constant Contact Membership.
9. Business Email
You have two main options for business email. You can either integrate your gmail account or subscribe to Yola's business email service, which is an additional $10/month.
10. Appointment Booking
If Appointment Booking is important to you, you can do that on your site using Full Slate, an appointment booking app that Yola integrates with, which is an additional $29-$70/month.
11. Marketing Tools
You can do email marketing using Constant Contact, as explained above. Also, you can integrate with Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. You can integrate with Tumblr as well, if you want to have blogging capabilities.
12. Live chat
For live chat, from what I can tell, you would have to use a third-party app and embed code onto your site, using services like HipMob, Olark, etc.
13. Invoicing
There are no invoicing options available with Yola.
14. Blogging
Yola used to have an internal blog creator, but it was discontinued in August of 2012. So, if you want to blog on your Yola site, the best way is to integrate it with Tumblr, an option which Yola has available right in its website builder. Your Tumblr posts will automatically be added to your Yola site, but any editing has to be done on Tumblr.
When compared to most other website builders, Yola's level of integration is pretty low. They integrate with Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, which is important. Also, you can use your Google App products with Yola, which is pretty much industry standard. Yola also has several built-in integrations, such as those with Constant Contact and Full Slate, although at an additional charge. For ecommerce, you can integrate with Paypal, Sage, Authorize.net, and others.
There are no direct accounting integrations, although you can export CSV files if you have an ecommerce plan. Also, there are no CRM or Helpdesk integrations either.
Customer Service
24 hours?
Not really (email, social media, and live chat support only and live chat only available M-F 3am-5pm EDT)
US Based or Not?
What's The Method of Delivery?
Yola's customer service is available via live chat, email support, and social media (submit a ticket form). They guarantee a response within 24 hours, but try to get back within 2 hours. From the various reviews I read, their actual customer service quality is hit-and-miss.
All in all, Yola is a lot like other website builders. It's builder is fine, but nothing special and not as easy to use as Weebly's or Wix's. Also, its templates are nothing to write home about, at least not on the free/basic level. However, it does have some solid ecommerce features, which could be worth checking out if you want to do some online sales.
Noteworthy Articles and Reviews
Better Business Bureau: F BBB Complaints and Review
Website Tool Tester – In this world of digital footprints and automated everything, the fact that you can even get a live person on the phone (or even a phone number for that matter) is a victory. Yola's primary benefit for its users is in the strength of its global customer support network. Yola delivers an easily navigable, simple solution to meet the online needs of individuals and businesses. If you want a site that's quick to build, polished with web store functionality, Yola's got you covered." Fine for a simple and flat website due to its limited depth of navigation. The e-commerce widget makes it an interesting choice for creating a small online store." [ Read more ]
Superb Website Builders – The flexibility and power afforded by using Yola is best leveraged when users sign up for premium accounts.Yes, the free plan can be a starting point for someone who is looking to erect a free, static site, but three pages and a Yola domain hardly screams credible business.Whether users take advantage of the freemium or premium services, they still get access to a site builder that will help them quickly build and publish a website. Yola uses a drag-and-drop editor so what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG), which makes site building a little easier to do. Also note that Yola offers web store functionality as an add-on at $10 per month, available with any plan. Yola's certainly not the cheapest site builder on the market, but itdoes the job. [ Read more ]
Site Jabber – With just 7 reviews in, Yola gets just 2.5 out of 5 stars. People seem to like the site builder itself, though it may be a bit more limiting than people would like. But customers are unhappy about the billing practices the company employs. More than one user complained about being billed to early or not being able to cancel the services or getting charged far more than what they anticipated. Apparently, it's not as easy to cancel service as it was to sign up for service. "Tools, templates, and navigation is easy to use. HOWEVER: Yola.com has some very deceptive billing practices and it is VERY difficult to stop being billed." [ Read more ]

About this pro
How does your service stand out?
'The first duty of love is to listen.' Often, when someone truly listens the problems come to light and can be healed, resolved. You or your child's unique capabilities and telling of your own story in the ways you choose to resolve what brings you here are most important to the counseling process. We all have an 'inner child.' Confidentiality is key. I use Play Therapy and CBT with children. With adults I use a variety of therapies, always including a person centered approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I diagnose and use assessments. I have seen huge success with clients with Panic and Anxiety. I also have special training and experience in working with children using Play Therapy and CBT for many mood and behavioral issues. I specialize in working with children with trauma as well as ADHD. Play therapy is helpful for children who have experienced trauma, abuse, divorce, ADHD, depression, anxiety, problems with peers, and family problems. I offer Behavioral Analysis under a Behavior Analyst. I also work with adults. Please email or leave a Voicemail. I will respond.
What do you enjoy about the work you do?
It is an honor to be trusted and to be a part of brining healing and hope to others. The therapeutic relationship is a place where the infinite value and worth inherent in every individual is recognized and validated. To have the honor of being confronted with this mystery every day at my job is priceless.

Years in business
How did you get started doing this type of work?
As a teenager I found wisdom from my religious tradition, contemplative practices, and mentors really changed my life. I found that those relationships where I was listened to and validated along with practices that helped me to change my thinking and perspective gave me confidence, strength, focus, and clarity I lacked. I experienced and saw a great need for understanding and helping those who had experieced severe abuse and others with mood and psychotic illnesses. These problems went beyond what training I was exposed to. I have sought to find what wisdom and traditions in religion, philosophy, and the sciences could offer in helping individuals and families suffering from mental illness.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
You want to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with, is qualified, and has a number of therapies and theories that they can pull from to find what is helpful for empowering you in resolving your own issues. If one therapist is not right for you then be sure to try someone else because not every therapist is helpful with every person or problem. I hope to meet you and we can get a feel for this in the first session~ you can even give me a call to talk over the phone before you come in.

History On Disney VinylmationBack in late 2008 a new Disney collectible was introduced to disneyphiles everywhere. Vinylmations! As an avid Disney Pin collector, I pondered the question…. Will Disney Vinyls take off the same way that Disney pins did back in 2000? The answer…yes. Vinylmations are here to stay. Vinylmation is about expressing creativity and the mysterious thrill of the chase. It's a thrill for Disney Artists who see the Vinylmation figure as a blank canvas. Their inspiration comes from everywhere… Disney Park icons, urban landscapes and even holidays. With each figure having a distinctive art style and personality, there's a Vinylmation figure out there for everyone! There are a variety of figures ... read more

The landscape has changed. Technology, information, communication, globalization, and consolidation have changed the marketplace dramatically and will continue to do so. To excel in this environment, sales professionals must adopt new strategies. Sales leaders are defined by their willingness and ability to do so.
Some salespeople continue to practice old-style sales tactics (high pressure, little understanding of customer needs, too much talking). Why? Old habits are hard to break. Salespeople who use them don't realize how aware most customers are of those tactics.
But even salespeople who work honestly without pressuring customers are still vulnerable because of the vastness and speed of the information-rich Internet. Salespeople who only provide pricing or information and take orders are destined to become the dinosaurs of the information age. They can be replaced by automated ordering systems. Customers don't like wasting time with salespeople who don't add value to the buying process, and when the sale is for what are considered standard items, customers are eager to streamline the process.
Streamlining the sales process isn't any different from streamlining other processes inside progressive organizations. Companies have sought to cut response time, reduce costs, and eliminate duplication. Huge sales opportunities will always be available to salespeople who go after them. (We have examples in this resource from sales organizations recognized as being among the best from sources such as Selling Power magazine.) These top sales producers win these sales by leading, not by following.
Sales professionals who want to continue to be successful will realize that the world isn't the same today as it was yesterday. They know they must adapt to it. Sales professionals have to take the lead in applying new strategies that capitalize on change. They need to lead that change through their customers' and their own organizations. That is the only way to maintain a leadership position. Sales leaders must operate as the most successful and lasting businesses do: evolve to meet new demands and opportunities. Sales leaders know how to deal with change and turn it to their advantage.
Effective salespeople also realize that it isn't just the number of sales calls they make that counts, but the quality of those calls. Are they calling on the right companies, at the right levels, with the right products and the right strategies? Do they create high value for the customer with their problem solving? It is a matter of being effective as opposed to being efficient—to provide the right products to the right customers and develop relationships that grow business.
This resource is for sales professionals who want to be exceptional in this new environment. The sales leaders' model (figure 1) shows that sales professionals solve problems and create high value for their customers and that leaders capitalize on change with innovative thinking and approaches. Sales leaders focus on both of these challenges: they solve problems in an environment of rapid change, creating both high value and innovative customer solutions. Most sales professionals still face a daily test to find new ways to meet their sales quotas, broaden their customer base, and stabilize their sales revenues. This resource provides a fresh approach for overcoming such challenges and offers a unique perspective on sales and leadership for salespeople who want to stand out in their field.
The salespeople who survive and prosper in the future will be those who not only have a good foundation of selling skills, but who are able to deliver high-value, innovative solutions that build lasting customer relationships and success in an environment of rapid change. This resource provides the leadership strategies that will help you accomplish that.
Donald and Doris Fisher founded Gap Inc. in 1969, in San Francisco, California, with a single store and a few employees. They opened the store because they couldn't find jeans that fit well. Today, Gap has evolved into three brands and one of the world's largest specialty retailers, with sales of $3.35 billion, 165,000 employees, and 4,250 stores in 3,100 locations in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Japan, and Germany as of this writing. What Donald and Doris Fisher did is what sales leaders do: be alert for problems and then look for or create solutions.
The Rules of Selling presents an approach for successfully selling in an environment of rapid change. POWER, in the context of the sales leaders' model, means to:
Produce High-Value,
Own the Innovative Solution, and
Win with
To be successful in a constantly changing and highly competitive marketplace, you must be a leader. To do anything less is to leave your fate in someone else's hands. If you are not the one finding and solving new customer problems, someone else will be.


text: Posted January 24, 2013 Ya think that assessment will change if Flacco wins the Superbowl and Kaep gets hit so hard that his spine flies out of his ass-pipe? There are people who are going to want to see the read-option as our primary running play no matter what. Those people think Cam is invincible, think Cam will never get hit hard enough to get hurt doing so, and don't understand the difference between an OL blocking when they don't know where the ball is going vs when they do. Their opinion isn't going to change if Kaep gets obliterated - they'll just respond with "but Cam FREAKIN Newton BRAH" and repeat the same arguments for not cutting down on the amount of the option we use (particularly the first part of the season). Unfortunately I'm also slowly deciding that they can't be reasoned with. Probably for the best where my own sanity is concerned. Sad freakin' Panda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So i have been checking out all the sales and marketing folks discussing matching content to an IT buyers buying process.
For example:
Whitepapers = early stage sales cycle
Trials = late stage sales cycle
webinars = late stage sales cycles
I think this is completely bogus and comes out of old fashioned FUNNEL thinking. ( Awareness, consideration, purchase) I hardly ever consider myself in this way when buying anything let alone software products and services. I go back and forth, reach out to peers, stop my search because something else has taken over, reconvene, start again etc
Would love your thoughts. I am starting to believe the funnel should be turned into one big circle.
Vendors need to stay with the IT buyer all the time and not focus on the linear approach vendors have taken in the past.
Unfortunately, this is alien to the standard marketing/sales model.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I think that you are correct. Buying is more circular. Whitepapers are more late cycle (presenting to management) and I think that few IT pros use them to learn about a new product. I know that I never really have. Whitepapers are widely lacking in useful data and have caused people to ignore them. Few are really whitepapers. Whitepaper is too often applied to marketing material which is not a whitepaper at all.
Trials are very early. If a product is interesting to me, whether a purchasing consideration or not, I want to trial it. Trialing can be so early that it might be years before a purchase consideration might even come into play. For example, I might trial a new message archiving product today just to learn about it. In three years we suddenly have a message archiving need and I remember "hey, I trialed that a while ago, let's trial it again and see what changed."
Webinars I don't use. Period. Who does that? Quite frankly webinars are silly and show, I think, a disconnect between sellers and buyes. Not that webinars are bad, as an additional sales too they are fine. But I want TRAINING and I don't want it live, I want it pre-recorded. I can never schedule time to stop everything to watch a webinar. If it isn't pre-recorded, I ignore it.

SAM is right on. It seems unless it is brand new technology, White Papers and Webinars are rarely more informative than a Wikipedia article or Google search. I only sign up for Webinars so I can get a recording later. I've viewed about 3 Virtualization Webinars from different vendors that are almost identical. Just a high level overview of the technology with a logo change. Give us some technical detail.
Many I.T. pros use these content types just to gather a catalog of potential solutions IF and WHEN the need arises. I know this is a hard pill to swallow for many vendors.

Name: Sabrina Venesuela
About: Sabrina is would be suggested to used as a mage. Her role in the game is to be played as an AP carry, since of her high potential with her passive and abilities. I thought of the idea for this champion by thinking of League possibly having atleast a few more fire champions, since theres alot of ice-based and poison based champs. The necklace she wears grants her the power she wields, but other than that she is a normal girl who posesses a powerful item. She is based mostly on CC and magic damage, having her 3 abilites CC and magic damage based; leaving her 3rd ability to deal tons of magic damage to an enemy unit.
Attributes: Mage, Ranged, Carry
Passive (Pyre's Spirit): The necklace that Sabrina wears grants her the power of the Fire Pyre Soul, giving her a boost of extra ability power (+.50) each time she gets a kill or assist for a duration of 5 minutes. (135 sec. Cooldown)
Q: (Scorching Burns): Sabrina casts flames which spin around her fists, allowing her to burn any enemy unit it hits within her range. (16 sec. Cooldown)
W: (Smoke and Flames): Sabrina throws a big fireball which crashes to the floor, creating a trap of smoke which disallows any enemy unit who passes by the area or is in it to have vision, dealing magic damage. (20 sec. Cooldown)
E: (Volcanic Stomp): Sabrina stomps, creating a big, straight fissure in the ground that shoots up lava and flames dealing magic damage up to 2 enemy unit in its range.
R: (Spirit of the Flames): The giant Pyre Spirit comes from the necklace Sabrina wears, rushing towards an enemy unit passing through them back and forth quickly for 2.5 seconds dealing magic damage and fearing them for 1.5 seconds. Any other enemy units within the range of the Pyre spirit will take half the damage if they weren't hit first.
Lore: Born in a normal family in Ionia, Sabrina was always the adventurous one amongst her brothers and sisters. She would always take off in the forest and mountains, having everyone try and search for her to return her back home so she wouldn't be harmed. There was this one day where her Uncle who rarely comes around randomly showed up without notice. He asked specifically for Serena and he really needed to talk to only her and no one else. He told her that there was a special gem that was held in a golden trimmed necklace that was stolen from him and hidden deep within the mountains by an imp. Knowing that Serena loved to explore anywhere she could set her eyes on he used it to his advantage since he was old and wrinkled, not being able to grasp the strength to do what he could do when he was younger. Serena agreed, doing anything to help her old Uncle even though he barely made the time to even see or talk to her. So off she went on her journey, to collect the gem her Uncle grew attached to. Exploring the mountains he guided her to go to, she searched every inch of it; small opening or caves. She came across a fissure in the ground that was big enough for her to slip into, only to find herself in a cave with scorching hot lava. It atleast lighted her way to the gem, but she was getting very exhausted and sweaty from the heat to barely even go on any further. After a few more steps she finally found the necklace holding the mythical red gem. She picked it up, then quickly she felt a strong energy surge through her after. She unclipped the hook of the necklace, putting it around her neck to keep it safe for when she gets out of the cave. Oddly enough, she didn't feel the hot sensation of the lava anymore, she grew acustomed to it. Finally, after an hour Serena found her way out of the large cave, hiking down the mountain back to the spot her Uncle waited eagerly at. When she returned, something seemed very off right at the moment her Uncle placed eyes on the gem slinging around her neck. Asking her Uncle if he felt well, he ran full speed at the girl, trying to attack her for the necklace. Feeling threatened by the behavior of her Uncle, she casted flames around her, burning her Uncle like a torch. He ran around in flames, cursing in an unknown language. After he dropped, a dark enitity came out from his crumbling body and quickly flew away shreiking. From what she saw and experienced that day, feel guilty at first, she knew that he wasn't human to begin with and was an evil force trying to take the gem only for ruin. After that, Serena wore the necklace everyday to protect her from any further harm. Sometimes, even at night when it's most silent, a small voice can be heard coming from the gem.

Corey White's role with the Saints could be growing.
As they enter the 15th week of the season, the Saints are still looking to find their best mix of players on defense. That picture could now include White at safety.
A cornerback by trade, White said Thursday that he's been floating around the defense, playing some safety in addition to his responsibilities at cornerback.
"I did a little bit in training camp," White said when asked if he's comfortable at the position. "I'm comfortable. I haven't done it in a while. I'm just getting back into the groove."
When asked if his role is changing, White said the team is "adding onto my role" and giving him a "different look."
White's role has already changed twice this season. Early in the year, he was coming in on nickel packages behind Keenan Lewis and Patrick Robinson. Later in the year he replaced Robinson in the starting lineup, but Robinson elevated back into the starting lineup in recent weeks.
White said the biggest difference between playing cornerback and safety is that he's looking onto the play at safety instead of being locked in on one man.
"The angles. At corner you kind of got to tackle from outside in," White said. "From safety it's a little different. Knowing formations. You're now focusing on tight ends instead of receivers.
"It's a little bit more freedom. I love safety. Just give me a chance to look at formations, looking at teams and how they want to attack."
The Saints appear to be shaking up how they do things. It's expected that Kenny Vaccaro will see a decreased role this week with Pierre Warren and Jamarca Sanford the likely starters at safety.
More changes?
There could be more changes in the secondary this week.
Terrence Frederick, a seventh-round pick in the 2012 draft, says that he's been mixing in with the first-team defense during practices this week. He does not know yet if he will start Monday night against the Chicago Bears, but is preparing as if he will.
"I've just been preparing myself if I'm going to be up this week," Frederick said. "Obviously I've been working in and out with the starting defense. We'll just see what Monday brings."
Speaking about Frederick Friday, coach Sean Payton said he's proven to be a quick study and has been a "pleasant surprise" since being called up from the practice squad Nov. 18.
"When we brought him up here a couple weeks back, he very seldom is surprised defensively with what the coverage, what the front is, and what the call is so he can align himself quickly," Payton said. "He is experienced. Those instincts he has I think are something that really allow him along with his skillset. I think his football IQ is real high and we saw it in training camp."
If Frederick earns the start this week, he would be the third cornerback to lineup opposite Lewis this season, joining Robinson and White.
And if that opportunity does come, Frederick says he's ready to seize it.
"I'm definitely ready," Frederick said. "We watching film, staying extra, understanding the game plan. I feel like I prepared myself all week if I get that chance this week."
Linebacker Curtis Lofton was fined $8,268 for his part in Sunday's brawl with the Carolina Panthers.
Panthers tight end Brandon Williams, who was ejected from the game, was fined the same amount.
The fight broke out in the end zone after Panthers quarterback Cam Newton ran in a touchdown during the second quarter of Carolina's 41-10 win.
After the score, Newton began to do his signature Superman celebration when he was confronted by defensive end Cameron Jordan. Lofton then pushed him and escalated the situation, which ended with Williams punching Jordan.
Saints linebacker Junior Galette missed a second-straight day of practice Friday because of a knee issue. Meanwhile, left tackle Terron Armstead returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after being sidelined Thursday with a hurt neck.
Linebacker David Hawthorne (hip), defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (ankle) and cornerback Lewis (illness) were also limited Friday, as they were Thursday.

Sad music can provide enjoyment, comfort or pain to different people, according to new research looking at the effects of melancholy songs on the emotions.
Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses".
The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art.
To many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life. Greek philosophers and ancient Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound." According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez, "the border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus.... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be, except that it is 'sound through time'."
