Asset Management
How you manage your key assets can make the difference between healthy profitability and business failure. Idle resources tie up valuable capital without any return. Inadequate preventative maintenance can result in inefficient equipment, unplanned downtime and frequent replacement.
Standard dashboards and reports help you monitor how you are doing, but they can't help you proactively identify specific actions to take to get your assets under control. To minimize waste, increase reliability, and control risk, you need a tool that helps you ask new questions and discover new insights.
Heat Map Explorer can help you:
- Increase equipment reliability by ensuring timely maintenance.
- Reduce cost or increase revenue through improvements in asset utilization.
- Ensure compliance with government regulations and corporate policy.
- Increase inventory efficiency and reduce overhead.
- Discover localized trends and outliers that foreshadow future risks.
Use Heat Map Explorer Desktop to analyze data from Excel or SQL databases, or use Heat Map Explorer Enterprise Edition to integrate directly into your enterprise applications.
- See where maintenance cycles are outside acceptable ranges.
- Visually identify problematic locations.
- Diagnose root causes of delayed maintenance issues.
The top heat map shows vehicles at one of 21 locations. The color shows the average time between maintenance visits. Green boxes indicate vehicles that have been maintained recently; yellow and red boxes indicate vehicles that are out of compliance.
On this heat map, no one location stand outs as problematic – the green border around each bar indicates an acceptable overall average.
The bottom heat map shows the same vehicles in a histogram view that shows the distribution by vehicle age. The newest vehicles are on the left and the oldest vehicles are on the right.
This heat map highlights the actual issue: poor compliance exists mainly with the newer vehicles on the left. Operators may feel that newer cars do not need maintenance as frequently, an issue that is easily addressed through a change in training.
- Visualize software license compliance by location, vendor or software type.
- Identify locations or managers with high compliance risk.
- Export lists of licenses due or overdue for renewal.
In this heat map, each box represents a block of software licenses assigned to a particular location. The size is proportional to the number of license seats, and the color indicates time remaining before renewal (yellow is 90 days or less, red is past due). Each column contains the licenses for one location. The border of the column is colored based on the average time remaining for all licenses at that location.
While most locations are in compliance, the company faces compliance risk at its Moscow location, as shown by the yellow border. The problematic licenses can be examined by hovering over each box. Or they can be exported to an e-mail or copied to a spreadsheet to send to the responsible managers directly from within Heat Map Explorer.
- Identify resources that are underutilized.
- Visualize utilization in context to reveal problems with particular categories, locations or times.
- Discover usage patterns that may indicate opportunities for improvement.
Both heat maps to the right display 4 weeks of production capacity utilization at 5 plants. Each row represents a plant and each column a single day. Color represents utilization, ranging from red for 0% to green for 100%.
The top 3 plants usually operate 5 days a week. The 4th plant has half-staff while the bottom plant has full-staff on the weekends.
The top heat map shows a striking ramp-up period early in the week after a plant has been closed for a weekend. No ramp-up time is seen in the bottom 2 plants.
The bottom heat map uses a "cluster" style to color the borders to reflect average utilization for each level of grouping. This makes the advantage of the 7-day week for the bottom two plants obvious. It also highlights the two green weeks for the 1st and 3rd plant—times when the staff worked on Sunday. Notice there was no ramp up time these weeks.
- See at a glance where capital is invested in inventory.
- See which categories need better inventory management.
- Identify slow-moving, high-cost inventory items.
- Export reports for targeted inventory adjustment.
This heat map displays the average inventory levels and turnover ratios across various product categories. Each box represents a product. The size is proportional to the dollar value of the average inventory.
The color of each box represents the inventory turn ratio. Medium and high turnover ratios are black. Low turnover ratios are yellow and extremely low turnover ratios are red.
By focusing on the large red and yellow items in the map, quick effective action can be taken to reduce inventory levels and free up significant amounts of capital.

The Bar's proposals to smooth the path for solicitors who switch to the Bar are like King Canute's attempts to stem the tide. Faced with the growing competition of solicitor advocates, what does the Bar Council do? It proposes inviting them to join the Bar. The response – solicitor advocates in general have no interest and the ordinary barrister sees one more concession to the other side.
Little wonder that barristers in general are getting increasingly fed up with their ruling body's weak responses to the gathering forces of change.
Solicitor advocates are just one of the many issues – direct access is another, as is forming partnerships with law firms. And where is it laid down in stone that barristers who become solicitors must be disbarred?
The issues are building up and the Doomsday scenario will just draw nearer if someone somewhere at the Bar does not get to grips with the real problem – where the Bar is going and what it can really offer to differentiate its services from those of solicitors?
It seems that the upper echelons of the Bar, despite numerous reports on the subject, freeze at the thought of changing traditional preconceptions. One youngish barrister who attended a Bar Council meeting professed astonishment at the attitudes of some of those present. "They make jokes about solicitors and how crap they are," he said. "It's all about getting one over on solicitors. If someone says something which is anti-solicitor, they all cheer. There's just no middle ground."
The Bar is hovering on the precipice of disaster as it desperately tries to preserve its traditional position with some cosmetic tinkering at its seams. The growing voices of dissent within its ranks will force the issue and the Bar Council will find itself swept with the tide instead of having the luxury of guiding the way.

I (unfortunately) have recently upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.1 (15B42). Now when trying to start up the Dev Desktop 2 stack I get the following error:
"Something is wrong
Process 'Apache web server' failed to start. Port 8083 didn't open."
I have the most up to date version of Dev Desktop installed (Nov 22 2015 12:34:41).
Is this (another) El Capitan issue? What can I do to fix it. I have a proof of concept site setup on my local machine that I need to use as a reference for building out my actual project and this issue is extremely annoying :-/
Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated :-)

If you regularly read heavy music reviews then the name José Carlos Santos shouldn't be unfamiliar to you. He's been writing with passion about heavy music and extreme metal for many, many years now, including various magazines and outlets, but mainly for Terrorizer. José is also one of the Creative Consultants at Roadburn Festival, where he writes band announcements on the Roadburn website, writes blurbs in the Roadburn programme, contributes to the Weirdo Canyon Dispatch zine, and also recommends bands and artists to the Roadburn organisers. So all the more reason to ask José about the 3 records that have influenced his musical journey the most, which as you can read below wasn't an easy task!
As a full-time music writer, it is natural that I often think about my relationship with music, what it means to me, how it has changed me and the course of my life from the very young age in which I became forever infatuated with it. It's not even only about my personal case – part of what actually drives me to do what I do is to know everybody else's stories of their own infatuation, their story, their records, their bands, their shows, what made them get into music and what keeps them ticking. From musicians, to fellow writers, to the regular fan that might have no activity related to music but for whom the passion is there for life as well, everyone's path is unique and, more often than not, a fascinating journey for itself.
When I received this wonderful invitation (thank you!), however, I had to dig a little deep. The initial "only three records? You're crazy." impulse had to be suppressed, and so, that list of roughly 437 records that changed my life had to be cut down to its bare essentials. So, these are not only essential for who I am today, as a writer, as a lover of music and even as a person, but they also became important at a time when everything was rawer, a lot was waiting to be shaped, when a lot of what was happening was poised to be pivotal. Conclusion – if I'm being too verbose right now, it's not strictly my fault. These three records have a lot to answer for as well.
Manowar – Kings Of Metal
My dear friend JJ Koczan, on this very same feature, started his text on Alice In Chains' Dirt by mentioning he owned it before he owned a CD player. Funnily enough, a more or less similar situation happened with me and this, the very first metal record I listened to, and eventually the first one I purchased as well. My dad had just bought a brand new stereo, but I didn't have any CDs to listen to, and I had no idea what to get. I knew I didn't like any of the things that were popular on TV and among my colleagues, at least. I suppose the first seeds for the things I like today were already planted before the actual music barged in – by the time I was ten years old, I loved to draw monsters, aliens, blood and guts scenes and medieval fantasy figures, was very much into comic books, and had actually stared curiously at Iron Maiden album covers wondering what that music must sound like while super scared at the same time. One day, I must have been almost eleven, a couple of older guys at school were exchanging CDs they had just gotten to record to tape, and one of them had Kings Of Metal. One glance at the cover was all I needed to work up the courage to ask him if he'd lend me the CD for just one day so I could make a copy at home. He did (I often think how I'd be today if he'd said no), and so I spent that summer obsessively listening to that tape on my old walkman that had never seen much use. I didn't really have access to many music magazines, I had no idea about the amazing underground network of fanzines or tape-trading or anything, really, and so I didn't investigate about Manowar, if they had any other records, or if there were any other similar bands I could listen to. That summer in my parents' little summer place in the Algarve I was about playing Kings Of Metal, over and over, writing down the lyrics in a notebook as I heard them, making notes of the references, designing the band logo on all my school notebooks just right. Curiosity did emerge in the end, and a few weeks later I decided to risk my allowance on one of the bands whose name I already knew – I splurged for Iron Maiden's Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, and shortly after begged my grandma who was on a walk with me to buy me the other name that was familiar, which turned out to be Metallica's Ride The Lightning. I guess you could say that from then on I was well on my way.
So that's the story, but Kings Of Metal is not just a contextual kickstart. Even today it's a hell of a heavy metal record. It does border on the silly very often, for recent generations especially, with the over the top ballad ('Heart Of Steel'), the bass-only cover of 'Flight Of The Bumblebee' ('Sting Of The Bumblebee'), the CD-only bonus (how times have changed!) song that I couldn't hear out loud when my parents were around ('Pleasure Slave'), the narrated story ('The Warrior's Prayer'), and the self-referencing last song ('Blood Of The Kings'), but looking at it like that is missing the point entirely. The whole thing is heavy metal escapism at its very best, and underneath its bigger-than-life exterior lie truly great songs that have stood the test of time, and in fact this applies to Manowar's entire discography up to, and including, The Triumph Of Steel. I actually recently got the ultimate proof of that – just last month I was at a Ross The Boss show on which the legendary guitarist played a set of Manowar songs. Despite looking much weaker and more disoriented than I expected, the man totally nailed them, but the same can't be said for the rest of his band. Drummer Rhino, who was in Manowar for a little while, was the least worst of the bunch, but vocalist Marc Lopes and particularly bassist Mike LePond were atrociously, painfully off the mark. Did I care? Did anyone? Well, just a tiny bit, but whatever. We all sang our hearts out, every single word of every single song, because the songs survived. They are that strong, still.
Winter – Into Darkness
Fast forward a couple of years, and by 1991 I had become a big lad – literally, too, as I had a growth spurt around that time when I became basically as tall as I am today. All the high hopes I had of keeping it up, growing past two meters and going on to be a basketball player and/or a high jumper never came true, but at least my taste in metal was growing steadily and would continue to do so to this very day I'm writing these words, with no sign of letting up so far. I suppose that's fair. Anyway, by this time I had bought quite a few more CDs, I was starting to get fascinated by the more extreme genres – I was already into Napalm Death, Slayer and had recently acquired Deicide's debut album, but the big mind-blowing was about to happen. It was actually a one-two punch, as I got both these records in the same day, which is kind of amazing thinking about today – Autopsy's Mental Funeral (still the best death metal record of all time if you ask me) and Winter's Into Darkness. Not to minimise Autopsy's impact in the slightest, if I had been invited to write about ten records instead of three, they'd be in the list, but despite the filthy, twisted, unreal approach to death metal, it was still death metal. Winter, on the other hand, I had no idea what it was. I could call it doom, although I hadn't had much experience with the genre, I was aware of several bands and their characteristics by then, but that didn't help grasp this piece of horror in any comfortable way. Nothing was comfortable about Into Darkness, I felt confused and uneasy the first times I listened to it. I felt like an awkward kid (well, I was one, but even more so) being told to dance and not knowing what to do with his hands, except I didn't know what to do with my ears and with my brain. None of these feelings pushed me away, however – the more the raw horror of 'Servants Of The Warsmen' or 'Goden' made my skin crawl, the more I wanted to listen to it again. Eventually the songs clicked, as songs, but the feeling that something is off still remained – still remains, today – and once I realised I actually liked that, that I wanted music to do that to me, to challenge me, to tease me, to hurt me even, to make me feel all kinds of different things, as soon as I was aware that I didn't want music to be just ear-candy enjoyment, I damn nearly felt my mind blowing its doors wide open.
Into Darkness isn't a particularly complicated record, alright? I know that. It's not like I got a John Zorn album and spent nights awake trying to make sense of it. But at the age of thirteen/fourteen, these songs forced me to change the way I perceived music as a whole, to redefine everything I expected and wanted out of music. If you've read my stuff in any of the mags or sites I work for, you know how much I like unpleasant, opaque, ugly music. I might have even suggested a band with those characteristics that I found under a rock somewhere that you like. Well, we owe all of it to Winter. Since the band split up after this record, I spent my life thinking I'd never see them live. You can imagine how it felt to me when they reunited to play Roadburn in 2011. If you spotted some bearded dude in the audience weeping to fucking Winter, of all bands, and thought it was weird, well, now you know why.
Leonard Cohen – Cohen Live
I have previously written in copious amounts about the importance of Leonard Cohen for my development in several areas, I've called him "the man who inspired me the most to fully understand the power of words, the even greater power of words in a song" on a recent feature, I have two of his drawings tattooed on my left wrist (a guitar and a broken pen), and alongside Terry Pratchett perhaps, he is one of the main original reasons why I'm even here right now, writing to other people in a language that is not my native one, a language I became obsessed about because of the way other people have used it before. Leonard is also the tip of the iceberg in regards to my appreciation of the singer/songwriter, the quieter ones, the lonelier ones, the ones who don't get the benefit of hiding behind a wall of noise or a dehumanising scream. It is, however, unusual for a teenager who's largely into extreme metal, to suddenly veer into Leonard Cohen, as you'll surely agree. A fifteen year old just exposed to the world of Norwegian black metal, who also listened to the Barnes-led Cannibal Corpse on an almost daily basis and whose favourite band was quickly becoming My Dying Bride, as I was, isn't the hottest tip to start humming a waltz called 'Dance Me To The End Of Love' all of a sudden. And yet, that is exactly what happened. Cohen Live is a bit of a flimsy compilation of live songs, only thirteen of them on a single CD, taken from the I'm Your Man (1988) and The Future World (1993) tours. At the time it was Leonard's first live album since Live Songs, but in the grand scheme of things, and for a Leonard connoisseur especially, it's not really the most exciting thing ever, despite the quirky way he sang some of the songs, changing the lyrics here and there, more often than he already used to do in his shows. For some reason, however, the thing was advertised on TV here in Portugal before it was released, and a big part of the commercial featured a clip of Leonard singing 'Dance Me To The End Of Love'. I never really had any kind of tough-guy posturing, nor do I wanted to be the most metallic of metalheads, but come on, this isn't the thing you're supposed to like as a teenage metalhead, and as open-minded as you want to be, these imaginary boundaries do tend to stick to your head when you're that young, particularly being that young in the still pre-internet mid-90s. Yet, I found myself infuriatingly humming that bit of song all day long, and being drawn to that long-faced man in a suit and the way he said those words, the eyes closed, the pronunciation, the depth and gravel of the voice.
So I went and bought the damn thing when it came out. And naturally, all lingering half-prejudices were instantly thrown out the window. Contrary to many Leonard fans, 'Suzanne' wasn't the first brick to hit me – in this album, it's actually the closing song –, after the obvious opener 'Dance Me To The End Of Love' there is 'Bird On The Wire', 'Everybody Knows', 'Joan Of Arc' as an unsurpassed triptych, and there's also 'Hallelujah', 'Sisters Of Mercy', 'I'm Your Man' (a much darker version that the tongue-in-cheek original studio version) and a bunch of other classics that seemed to be injected straight to my heart from the very first listen. From guilty pleasure to lifelong obsession, it was a matter of 71:50 minutes. I quickly acquired the entire past discography and followed the man until the end of his life, always learning something from each record, each song, each word. My musical palette is unimaginably richer because of this starting point, not to mention the absence of any metal elitism that I might have developed. Leonard quickly led to Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Tim Buckley, Townes Van Zandt and even Scott Walker, among many, many others, and an ad on TV for a so-so live compilation was all it took. "I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words," Leonard once said. Well, so was I. So was I.

Learn how to do the rotation on the point foot reflexology technique from certified reflexologist Chantel C. Lucier in this Howcast video.
So, rotation on the point. Similar to thumb walking, that first moment is just going to be pressing in to one point. The only difference in rotation on the point is you're rotating the foot around the point that you go into. So you're thumb walking and every time you go in you're going to rotate and meet that point. So you're going to go in, we're going to do the diaphragm reflex, it's, it's common when you do this technique to do that area but you could do it anywhere; you press in and then you just rotate the foot around that point, press in take small bites and then rotate around, in, rotate, in rotate, in rotate. I'm going into and lifting and then rotating I'm going under the metatarsal heads here and so just give a little stretch and then around. Also you could do it more like a waving gesture instead of the rotation so when you go into the point you actually just wave back toward yourself so the foot is coming towards you in this way. And if I do that I might lean in to give it a little bit more pressure. I would lean in and wave towards me. In to the next point, and wave towards me. And I'm moving along this diaphragm reflex here so I'm actually taking the bites and moving along towards the medial aspect of the foot, towards this inner side and with every little bite that I take I'm waving or I'm doing that rotation on that point.

Celebrity Copycat: Jessica Alba's Look for Less!
August 12, 2013 by admin
Filed under Celebrity Copycat
Jessica Alba's outfit is a great low key look for any busy woman on the go and even for the expectant mom. A maxi skirt is a great stylish alternative to sweats and leggins and when paired with studded boots and bag like Jessica it instantly looks edgy. Tip: looking for a more refined version of this outfit? Simply swap out the plaid top and try a cardigan; and instead of the boots try a pair of ballerina flats.
Celebrity Copycat: Olivia Palermo's Look for Less!
October 21, 2011 by admin
Filed under Celebrity Copycat
Olivia Palermo always looks amazing and her fashion sense is one of my Hollywood faves. This particular style is a fabulously bold example of how to mix patterns and trends without looking costumey or over the top. Love how the furry vest gives a soft egde to a very feminine tibi top and sheer midi skirt – perfection! Althugh I couldn't find pieces that were as similar as I would have liked, I think my interpretation mimics the outfit closely enough without losing any of the details. What do you think of Olivia's look?

Montana Solid Waste and Recycling Resources
Recycling in Montana continues to grow steadily
Recycling is much more challenging in Montana compared to densely populated parts of the country, however, the state has managed to exceed its recycling goals over the past decade.
Montana's Integrated Waste Management Plan set a goal to achieve a 19% recycling rate by 2011, which it achieved in 2009. It now hopes to surpass a 22% recycling goal by 2015.
- FYI: The national average is about 35%.
Recycling helps more than just the environment
Recycling not only maintains the natural beauty of Montana, but it also helps boost the economy.
***According to the EPA, 10,000 lbs. of waste sent to landfills creates just 1 job while the same amount of waste sent to recycling facilities creates 10 recycling-related jobs or 75 material reuse jobs.
Increased recycling rates leads to:
- More jobs, more money flowing through the economy
- Fewer landfills, illegal dumping sites, and less virgin materials harvested for manufacturing
Got C&D debris?
Building demolitions and new construction generates construction and demolition (C&D) debris, much of which is reusable or recyclable.
When renting a dumpster for C&D debris, be sure to ask your dumpster rental provider if they recycle any or all of the debris. In some cases, you may have to source separate the debris by type (e.g., concrete, wood, shingles).
***Consider purchasing recycled buildings materials for your next building or renovation project. It's often less expensive and helps close the recycling loop.
Got questions about solid waste rules and regulations?
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality keeps an updated list of laws and regulations related to solid waste handling and disposal in the state. Find that information here:
Dumpster permitting requirements
Whether or not you need a dumpster or right-of-way permit when renting a roll off container depends upon your local laws regarding the issue.
***In most cases, you'll need to obtain a permit if the dumpster is to be placed in the public right-of-way (e.g., side of a city street).
Tips for renting a roll-off dumpster in Montana
5 most common dumpster styles
Commercial dumpsters – Businesses use these dumpsters for weekly or monthly garbage hauling service. They are not for temporary use.
Roll-off dumpsters – These are the containers you rent for temporary uses, such as household cleanouts, roofing projects or commercial construction.
Trailer dumpsters – Used by some dumpster rental companies, these trailers are used similarly to roll-off dumpsters but are different in that they are on wheels – this offers the benefit of being easier on your driveway.
Bag-style containers – These small bins are made from durable fabrics and plastics and range in size from 1 to 3 cubic yards and hold less than 2 tons of debris. The "Bagster" container is one such dumpster.
Lowboy dumpsters – Similar to traditional roll-off dumpsters but with low sides, making it ideal for loading heavier debris, such as dirt, roofing material, concrete, tiles and masonry.
Information about dumpster rental weight limits and overage charges
Dumpster rental providers typically put a cap on the amount of weight you can load into a dumpster due to the fact it costs them more money to dump heavier loads at local landfills. This weight limit can range from 1 ton (2,000 lbs.) to 8 tons (16,000 lbs.) or more.
Overage fees typically range between $50 per ton and $100 per ton. For example, if the weight allowance is 2,000 lbs. and your load weighs in at 2,500 lbs., you'd owe an additional 1 ton of overage charges at the $50 to $100 rate, or whatever rate your dumpster rental agreement specifies.
TIP: Be particularly careful of going over the allotted weight limit when dealing with heavier debris, such as concrete, roofing shingles, dirt or masonry.

The Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) ruled last month that 37-year-old former International Relations MA student Smadar Bakovic's complaint against Dr Nicola Pratt of the Department of Politics and International Studies was 'partly justified' due to the "stress and inconvenience [caused] by her experience and the process of pursuing her complaint".
The OIA did not, however, uphold Ms Bavokic's claim that racial bias had influenced Dr Pratt's marking.
"We observe that the marking of the dissertation was properly a matter of academic judgment," says the report seen by theBoar.
"While noting that Ms Bakovic perceived that Professor A [Dr Pratt] was biased because of the views
|Dr Nicola Pratt
Nonetheless Ms Bakovic, who began her studies at Warwick in October 2008, deemed the decision "brilliant" and "humiliating for the University".
"I got everything I wanted so this is a huge victory," she said, "I just can't wait to get that letter of apology… If they are told to apologise, obviously they did something wrong."
She added: "It's just sad that a university that's considered to be one of the best has an 'expert on the Middle East' who claims such bullshit."
She hopes the ruling will help future students from minority backgrounds.
"I hope that this will set a precedent for Jews, Israelis, and others regardless of their nationality who face some kind of discrimination due to their nationality," she said.
"I would hope that next time the department would be more open to considering a request for change of supervisor, especially on issues of such importance like this."
She added: "People like Nicola Pratt's aim in life is simply to despise Israel and I think that should not be allowed in the University. She's an activist not a professor."
"You can't say you hate Jews because that's politically incorrect, so you say 'I hate Israel'."
"[She] is a racist anti-Semite and these things don't just change. You don't just change your opinion when something like this happens."

The "director" in this scene is Memphis' own Craig Brewer, whose work with some gang members in Nashville trying to make a movie is the Nashville Scene's cover story this week. Suffice it to say, our homeboy looks good while doing good works.
The exhibit is currently on view at the East Tennessee History Center in Knoxville, and was produced by University of Tennessee associate professor of journalism Robert Heller, with assistance from writer Dawn Weiss Smith. Heller visited more than 70 Tennesseans who were concentration-camp survivors, refugees, or soldiers who helped liberate the camps after Nazi Germany fell. For more about the collection, go here.
Board members were asked to contribute $50,000 to the project but declined because they have not seen the Foundation's operating budget. If they see a budget, they might reconsider, said board member Everett Kinsey.
"We would look at it, but we already spend about $70,000 a year on the birthplace," he said. "We buy billboards for them and do other things."
Its important that this dog be found as she was involved in a bite case, said Phil Synder, Memphis Animal Services administrator. [She] does have a family that desperately wants her back home.
Synder says she could be anywhere between the shelter and the owners home in Frayser. She responds to the name Tina and weighs between 35 and 40 pounds. Anyone with information about the dog should call 362-5310.
But what really caught our eye was this: Police from Oakland, deputies from Yalobusha and Tallahatchie counties, state troopers and Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries officers were involved in the arrests.
Wildlife and fisheries officers? That seems a little excessive. Why not just call in lion tamers or Dog the bounty hunter?
The Memphis men took $11,000 in the hold-up, but police believe that all the money has been recovered.
You see, Lance spins it and when it stops, it points at Justin.
That's comedy gold, folks.
Sure, your wife left you because she thought you were crazy, and youre battling that lawsuit from the neighborhood association, but theres good news: You might get your house on television.
A new HGTV series called Offbeat America is looking for houses in Memphis that stand out from the rest of the homes on your block, residences they describe as unconventional and unusual houses or yards that are truly amazing.
Each half-hour show features five or six homes from across the country. Recent episodes have featured an aluminum house in the Mojave Desert that spins like a top, a house in Pennsylvania covered entirely in mirrors so it virtually disappears amid its wooded surroundings, and a home in Wisconsin owned by a man who loved slot-car racing so much he designed his house to resemble a giant racetrack.
Obviously these are extreme offbeat examples. Other homes have interiors with unusual themes, or distinctive features. If you live in a house like this, or know someone who does, e-mail the shows producer, Joni Emily, at email@example.com or visit the Offbeat America Web site.
Hmmmm. Wonder if they've seen the Jungle Room?
Imperial Lanes opened in 1958 at 4700 Summer. Along with its sister center, Cherokee Lanes on Lamar, it offered bowlers considerably more upscale surroundings and with 50 lanes, more bowling than any other place around town.
According to the Web site of the Memphis Area United States Bowling Congress, at one time, Imperial had one of the finest sit-down restaurants in the entire city, complete with chefs, waitresses, and menu ordering. Many leagues had their end-of-year banquet there. The restaurant was closed in 1968 for a very odd reason no parking. Imperial was so busy that, unless you got there early, you had to park in an adjoining lot or on Summer Avenue.
In recent years, however, bowling alleys have added newfangled scoring machines and cosmic bowling using glow-in-the-dark pins and balls. Imperial had none of that; in fact, it didnt even offer automatic scoring.
The bowling equipment will be auctioned off. There is no definite date for demolition.
For photos of Imperial Lanes in its heyday, and a tribute to a Memphis landmark, go here.
According to Snopes.com, this email hoax started in New Jersey in May 2005.
Starve is open nightly from 7-11 p.m. at the Montyshane Gallery at 2160 Young Avenue. The performance art aspect runs through July 25th, and the installation will remain on exhibit until July 29th. Admission is free.

All the sweets, carbs and booze of the holiday season have left me feeling weighed down, in more ways than one. Yes, my jeans are fitting a bit tighter than I'd like (eek!) but I just feel sluggish overall, like I need to hit the reset button on my body—and my habits. But it's near impossible to resist the urge to pour another glass of wine, or reach for cookies, candy, chocolate, all of the above, when you've been giving into that urge for weeks now, all in the name of celebration.
That's why the hubs and I have decided to focus, once again, on eating more healthfully, like we were before our wedding last May. Post-wedding, circumstances practically pushed us into poor eating habits: We honeymooned (lots of dining out). We made a big move, and had to drive across the country to get there (hello, fast food). We wanted to explore our new city (and one of our favorite pastimes is visiting new restaurants). And then we were a little lonely (cue emotional eating). Yep, we gave ourselves plenty of reasons to eat, drink and be merry. The holidays were literal icing on the cake—not to mention a more socially acceptable excuse to indulge.
Starting a new diet or exercise plan and losing weight is a top New Year's resolution for many, so G and I are in good company. But, to be successful, you have to be reasonable with yourself. Going to extremes might get fast results but it is not sustainable long term. Healthy living is a lifestyle so, as with anything, you've gotta cut yourself a little slack to keep from going insane. To that end, we're planning to cut back on eating out, to enjoy wine and cocktails in moderation just three days a week, to get our butts into the gym and ... to eat more vegetables. Which leads me to today's post.
I'm sure you've heard of "Meatless Mondays"—there's a whole website dedicated to it!—but when I proposed the idea to my hubby, he gave me a look and a smirk. "I'm not making it up," I exclaimed with a laugh. "It's a thing." I told him it would be good for us to commit one day a week to eating just fruits, veggies and whole grains. We're not big meat eaters, it's mostly fish and chicken in our house, but nevertheless. More veggies is always a good thing. To inspire our cooking, I picked up what is veritably one of the best all-veg cookbooks on the market: "Plenty: Vibrant Vegetable Recipes from London's Ottolenghi."
Tonight, our first Meatless Monday, we will be making the dish that so beautifully graces the cover of Yotam Ottolenghi's critically-acclaimed vegetarian-friendly tome: Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce. We stopped by St. Pete's Saturday Morning Market this weekend and picked up two gorgeous eggplants for the occasion. While I have no idea how it will all turn out, the recipe looks and sounds mighty delicious, so I'd love to invite you to cook along with us! I'll post our results on Instagram.
Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce
Recipe from "Plenty" by Yotam Ottolenghi
Serves 4 as a starter or side, or as a light meal when accompanied by crusty white bread or pita
2 large and long eggplants
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon thyme leaves, plus a few whole sprigs to garnish
Maldon sea salt and black pepper
1 pomegranate (handy how-to video on getting the seeds out)
1 teaspoon za'atar (if you can't find this Middle Eastern spice blend, you can make it at home, traditionally with thyme or untraditionally with oregano; the trick then is finding sumac)
9 tablespoons buttermilk (you can also make this yourself, with milk and lemon/vinegar!)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus a drizzle to finish
1 small garlic clove, crushed
Pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, cutting straight through the green stalk (the stalk is for the look; don't eat it). Using a small sharp knife, make three or four parallel incisions in the cut side of each eggplant half, without cutting through to the skin. Repeat at a 45-degree angle to get a diamond-shaped (or crosshatch) pattern.
Place the eggplant halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with olive oil—keep on brushing until all of the oil has been absorbed by the flesh. Sprinkle with the lemon thyme leaves and some salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, at which point the flesh should be soft, flavorful and nicely browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
While the eggplants are in the oven, seed the pomegranate. (You can use the cut-and-whack method, using a wooden spoon to beat the seeds out of a halved pomegranate, or you can use the cut-then-pull-apart-while-submerged method, shown in this tutorial, which promises less mess.) Once you have all the seeds removed, sift through to remove any bits of white skin or membrane.
To make the sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients. Taste for seasoning, then keep cold until needed.
To serve: Spoon plenty of buttermilk sauce over the eggplant halves without covering the stalks. Sprinkle za'atar and plenty of pomegranate seeds on top and garnish with lemon thyme. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
As always, if you give this recipe a try I'd love to hear your thoughts. Fingers crossed we can find za'atar, or at least sumac, at the store this afternoon. If you have any favorite vegetarian recipes, please share—we need all the Meatless Monday inspiration we can get!

text: One of the things I like about guns is that guns from 100 years ago are still around and functional. Has anyone released studies about the lifespan of polymer frames. I mean if I buy a polymer frame gun now in 30 years or if I pass it down to my kids will it be full of stress cracks etc.?

Being positve means being is positive
Often, one hears, "How do you become positive?" or"
What is being positive ?'
The being is positive at the core. Nothing can be added from outside to be more positive. Remember, all additons are only props which can fall, be lost or taken away.
All that can be done is drop the negatives or that which does not allow you to be who you are. In the torch of your awareness, the negatives melt like darkness melts into light.
In an atom there are protons (positively charged) and electrons(negatively charged) . But, the positvely charged protons cannot be added or dropped. They are at the core . Only the electrons which are negatively charged can be added or dropped.
To connect to the positive, or to who you are,in awareness, the unwanted layers shed till you reach the gift that you are.

Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted that contract negotiations with Ilkay Gundogan have entered difficulties due to the interest in from Europe's elites.
Talks are on-going to tie Gundogan down to a long-term contract at Dortmund.
"The importance of Ilkay is undisputed – I would like to tell you that he has extended until 2026, unfortunately that is not the case, but we are in talks. We have a good chance," Tuchel said at a pre-match news conference (via Goal).
"The interest in Gundogan is great, which is why talks are not very easy."
Gundogan has been linked with a move to Anfield ever since the appointment of Klopp as manager in place of Brendan Rodgers.
Klopp does of course know Gundogan well from his time managing the Dortmund prior to taking charge of Liverpool
Dortmund also rejected an approach from Liverpool's rivals Manchester United earlier on in the season according to the German newspaper Express.
The Germany international is tied into a contract at Dortmund until 2017 after signing a contract extension at the start of the season.
Gundogan has six assists and three goals in 31 appearances for Liverpool this season.
Dortmund sit in second place in the Bundesliga with 45 points in 20 games. The Bundesliga giants take on Hannover 96 this weekend in the league.

, UK United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 08, 2007 -- Greater demand for customised holidays, activity-based holidays, long-haul destinations, city breaks and cruises are eating into demand for the traditional package holiday according to a new report from Euler Hermes UK, a company of Allianz.
The latest Euler Hermes report - entitled âPackage Holidays â all wrapped up?â - suggests that whilst there were more than 18.8 million package holidays taken in 2006, the proportion of such holidays compared to more personalised adventures is declining at speed. Greater price transparency in the market, prompted by new business models and innovations in technology, has significantly increased competition.
Consumers have enjoyed the ride and will continue to do so as the market evolves, according to the reportâs author, Emma Holland, Senior Credit Analyst at Euler Hermes UK: âIn the short term, the boundaries between High Street retailers, online agents and tour operators are expected to become increasingly blurred. More and more travel agents â and consumers themselves â are expected to move into the online arena and piece together their own packages in direct competition with the traditional tour operators."
Emma Holland continued, âTo make sure their own journeys are not cut short, tour operators and travel agents must focus on providing unique offerings to ever more adventurous, discerning and demanding holidaymakers. Successful players will be those who differentiate their customer base and target them appropriately.â
The report also signals a note of caution in relation to proposed changes next year to ATOL (Air Travel Organiserâs Licence) bonding, and the rules that state that any company that currently sells a package must be bonded by a DTI-approved body such as Euler Hermes UKâs sister business, Euler Hermes Guarantee.
As Emma explained: âThe proposal is to replace ATOL bonding from April 2008 with a £1 levy on each booking, called an ATOL Protection Contribution (ATC). Whereas tour operators have welcomed the change, the bonding and insurance industries are concerned that failures may be more frequent without adequate financial vetting and monitoring. We predict more peak-season failures with the levy system as the banks will have little incentive to keep companies afloat if they have no exposure to bonding and can simply pick the most favourable time to cancel facilities.â
âIt is also questionable whether the £1 levy will be sufficient to top up the Air Travel Trust Fund (ATTF), which is still £21 million in the red due to a large number of large failures including Laker Airways going back 25 years.â
âCustomers booking lower-priced holidays will therefore pay proportionately more levy than those on luxury or longer haul breaks.â

Miley Cyrus has sparked fresh fears for her health after falling sick on tour again.
The Wrecking Ball hitmaker fell ill with a sinus infection earlier this year and subsequently suffered an allergic reaction to her medication, which ended in a hospital stay and the postponement of the remaining dates on her US tour.
Cyrus resumed the trek in Europe last month, but has now worried her fans by revealing she has fallen sick again.
In a post on her Twitter page on Monday, she writes, "Sick as a (dog)."
Cyrus is due to perform in Vienna, Austria on Tuesday night, and posted an update just hours before showtime, adding, "Hope I don't suck tonight... still sick."

Okay. Where to begin?
I have been trying so hard. Do I feel a low because nothing has changed? Is it the lull before the storm? Remember there always the low before the big creative rush. I have been bored with myself. What happens next? One word comes and then the next. I know I am close. My novel is brilliant at least in the visionary sense. But I have to mold it using words and form it into something that already exists in my head. And I'm so impatient. And I am not sure that I can do it.
What is the difference between pushing yourself just enough or pushing yourself way too much?
When I started writing practice I was a writer who didn't write anything. I had this disease where I would start working and immediately get bored. The trick with writing practice is to write through all the discomfort. I started to sit down and write through the garbage. I gave myself a quota of so many pages. And just as in a sitting meditation I would notice the discomfort and keep going. Now there is comfort in writing. The writing reinforces itself, saves me from bad habits, gives me a course of action instead. More often than not I can discover the root of the discomfort if I write about it. I used to be at the mercy of my unfathomable moods.
After writing through the boredom for long enough, something else happens. I get tired. All of a sudden I am so tired, I can't keep my eyes open. Later I would be taken over by pangs of anxiety. All manifestations of my mind to get me to quit.
I ask: Why did my mind want me to stop so badly?
I decide: It is the baggage beneath it all. Ideas about writing and being a writer.
I lull myself with the questions: What kind of work is valuable anyway? In what way does this work contribute to my household? Who wants to read what I have to say anyway? Just further manifestations of the same mirage.
And so it's been more than two years. How has my life changed?
I write all the time. The words come fleetly (most of the time). And the words have formed themselves into a book. The words prime the pump and more and more come. My thinking is clearer. I am generally more productive. I don't have as many hazy worthless days. I enjoy the writing.
Today when I sat down, I was bored. You could watch the feeling come. Hints in the writing here and there. Worry about the boredom of others. Impatience. Time to make it good. Wanting it to tell the work what it wants. Like the hand of god coming down to set me straight.
Time for good enough writing. Time for me and the imaginary people that reside there. And perhaps time for the rest of my life too.
How come I have to remind myself over and over again?
As Always,
Writing Exercise:
Write, but don't get anything done today. Write for its own sake.
Take a page, two pages, three perhaps and write to yourself about how brilliant you are. Lie to yourself if you don't yet believe it.
Monday, March 24, 2008
I'm brilliant.

Coweeman River Joint Wetland and Conservation Bank
The Coweeman River Joint Wetland and Conservation Bank is being proposed on 315 acres along the Coweeman River in Cowlitz County, Washington. Upon certification by the Interagency Bank Review Team, the Bank will provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands and other aquatic resources, as well provide conservation credits for impacts to special status salmonid species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Bank project is being proposed through Washington State's Mitigation Banking Program, co-chaired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and will also be reviewed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a conservation bank.
The project includes approximately 100 acres within the tidally influenced portion of the Coweeman River floodplain and approximately 200 acres of old growth forest surrounding the river. The old growth forest includes wetlands and small tributaries that flow into the Coweeman River. The project will restore wetlands and riparian areas within the floodplain and preserve critical wetland, upland and riparian habitat within the old growth forest areas.

The visitors Whitley Strieber described in his best seller Communion have not gone away. They have remained to inhabit the former skeptic's new vision of a universe that is magnificent, mysterious, and fiercely alive. They were buried under denial and false assurance, but now they are emerging and are nothing less than agents of his transformation - and perhaps the transformation of our world. During the events described here and those he chronicled in Communion, Strieber underwent a battery of examinations, including a lie detector test, which he passed. All results indicate that his experiences were not caused by a known psychological or physiological disorder. This riveting account is read by veteran actor Roddy McDowall.

I'm Going Coo Coo For Whitley-Puffs
Strieber is an excellent writer, and his talent comes through in the narration. Further, the narration is absolutely perfect. You can listen for long hours without any strain or annoyance. Rarely do you get excellent prose married to excellent narration like you do in Transformation.
The frightening lack of any conclusion. The inability to come to any firm conclusion about these creatures and their "visits." This book leaves you wide-eyed, unsettled, and loading your gun.
Oh, man, there are so few readers as skilled as McDowall. He brings Strieber's book to life perhaps BETTER than you could by reading the prose yourself. Perfect intonation. An accurate feel for the subject matter. Always emotionally invested in the work without becoming corny or melodramatic.
These creatures are not simply physical. They are not simply good or evil. And they are not our friends nor are enemies, it seems.
BUY IT NOW. Very entertaining. Thoughtful, thought-provoking, and worth experiencing.

The Doug Fir has a special Valentine just for you. Tomorrow night, they're hosting a covers night for the big V-Day. Bands like Melville, Rebecca Marie Miller (of the Mynabirds), Spirit Lake, and Rio Grands will all be playing the best love-song covers, and to cap it off, the Moody Dudes will make a rare appearance. The Moody Dudes are a group of local all-stars who only play on Valentine's Day (and whose ranks include Blitzen Trapper's Eric Earley and the Parson Red Heads' Evan Way). It's safe to say they know their way around a love ballad.
We're giving away two pairs of tickets to the show—PLUS each winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Doug Fir restaurant. As the Doug Fir's Anna Jensen puts it, it's good for "a fancy schmancy love-filled DF grubfest. (Probably 1 am cheese fries, but whatever.)"
It's the most romantic contest we've ever held! And it's just in time for those who forgot all about Valentine's Day this year (we're not judging). We'll do this one a little different—the FIRST TWO people to send an email to contest at portlandmercury dot com with the words "Save My V-Day!" in the subject line will each win a prize pack, with two concert tix and the gift certificate. Please include your first and last name in the email. This will go fast, so do it now!
You're still a winner if you buy tickets here.

10 Things You Never Knew Your iPhone Could Do
Save to My Favourites
We spend hours a day glued to our iPhones, yet we'd like to wager there's still a raft of features you still don't know exist. Don't believe us? Refinery29.com have blown our minds with these ten life-hacking features.
From icons you've never paid attention to while snapping pics to settings that will ensure messages don't disrupt your scheduled beauty sleep, these are the under-the-radar features you need to know.
1. Check For Battery-Draining Apps
Keep getting caught with a dead battery at the end of a long day? Go to Settings, General, Usage, then tap Battery Usage to see exactly what apps have been using your battery most over the past 24 hours or over the past week. If you spot a few battery hogs, double tap the home button to pull up all of your most-recently used apps, then swipe upward to close them out.
2. Change The Order Of Social Sharing Icons
If you always share photos via Message or Facebook, and never by email, you can rearrange the order of the share icons to better suit your preferences. So when you've selected a photo, for example, tap the share button in the lower left corner, then tap, hold, and drag the Mail, Twitter, or Facebook icons around in the order you want.
3. Use The Camera's Self-Timer
Squeezing a group of friends into the camera frame and hitting the shutter button at the right time is a special sort of circus act. Fortunately for your group-selfie game, the camera actually has a built-in self-timer: Just tap the clock-looking icon at the top of the screen. There, you can select a three-second or ten-second timer that starts counting down once you hit the shutter button. It then takes a Burst shot of 11 photos in rapid succession to give you a fighting chance of grabbing a photo where no one is blinking.
4. Ban Sleep-Disrupting Notifications
The feature holds call, message, and notification alerts during a specified time. To set this up, go to Settings then Do Not Disturb. To set it to turn on automatically, select "Scheduled" and set the times during which you don't want to be disturbed. You can choose to allow calls from your Favourite contacts, in case you always want to get a notification from your partner or parents, or switch on "Repeated Calls," which will un-silence a second call from the same person if they call twice with in a three-minute time span (indicating something urgent).
5. Make Reading in the Dark Easier
Instead of turning down the brightness on your handset, which still leaves a white glare searing into your retinas, try inverting the colours when you need to do some reading in the dark. Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, then switch on Invert Colors. This flips your screen's whites to blacks, and so on. Or, you can also try switching on grayscale (located in the same settings menu) to help alleviate eye strain.
6. Visit A Website's Desktop Site
Even though you're on your phone, sometimes you want to see a website's full, desktop version, not its pared-down mobile site. To do so, quickly, when you're typing the URL in mobile Safari, just swipe downward on the main screen (below the URL field) and then tap Request Desktop Site. (Alternatively, some sites add an "m." in front of their site name to pull up the mobile version. Delete that from the URL, and the desktop version will load.)
7. Use Spotlight to Find Anything
New iPhone users may not be aware that with a swipe downward anywhere on the screen, you pull up Spotlight Search. Start typing what you're looking for — an app, a song title, an email subject, a friend's name — and Spotlight surfaces suggestions that match. It's particularly useful if you want to open an app you haven't used in a while, or if you want to pull up a piece of information quickly.
8. Share Your Location with Friends And Family
Whether you're navigating a massive venue or trying to catch up with a friend on the street, you can find each other easily by sharing your location with a contact. Just go into your iMessages, tap Details in the upper right corner of a message thread, and you can either send your current location, or share your location. If you choose the latter, you can share for an hour, the rest of the day, or indefinitely. In this menu, you can also mute a conversation, if a certain texting thread is getting distracting and out of control.
9. Share Purchases From iTunes
With Family Sharing, up to six people in your familycan share iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. You can also share photos, locations, and a family calendar. Go to Settings, iCloud, and tap "Set Up Family Sharing." If you're the one to set it up, you'll be the "Family Organiser," and it will be your card that's used for purchases by anyone else you invite as part of your family.
10. Make Your Screen Easier On Your Eyes
Constantly making squinty eyes down at your phone? You can make both the icons and the text size bigger. Go to Settings, Display & Brightness, then tap Zoomed. This changes the number of icons on your screen from 24 smaller ones to 20 larger icons. You'll have to hit "Set" in the upper right for this change to apply to your phone. You can also adjust the text size across the system. In this same menu, tap Text Size, then drag the slider to increase or decrease the size of the text.

Liar, Liar
May 14, 2012 by admin
Filed under Julie Davidson
by Julie Davidson
You probably have a list of values you want to teach your kids. Things like respect, empathy, and responsibility. Might as well add honesty to the list.
But honesty is a tricky one. Like when you go to the zoo and admission is free for kids under five. If your six year old is short for his age, would you just say he's under five? You could save eight bucks. Which means more popcorn and soda. And that means you would be the coolest ever (or at least for that day). Hmmm…tempting.
Did you ever swear you'd never use a certain babysitter again? The kids told you she used bad words, talked on her cell phone all the time, and sent them to bed early. But then you were in a bind, and she was the only one available. Do you beg your kids not to tell her you called her a juvenile delinquent?
Have you ever gone grocery shopping with the kids, paid for a cart full of groceries, and just as you squeezed everything into the trunk you noticed there was a carton of milk on the bottom of the cart? The milk the cashier didn't charge you for? The same milk you really need because you have none in the fridge. You've told your kids that you have to pay for what you take. But it's Friday, and the lines are getting longer, and the kids are getting hungrier.
Lying isn't good, but it sure is easy. Like telling the kids you'll buy then that cereal they want next week. You never did it. You took money from the piggy bank and never told them. You said there was no more gum, but there's a whole stash in the top cabinet.
It's good for children to hear us telling the truth. Even if it's not convenient. Except maybe when they ask our weight.
Tell us what you're thinking...
and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!

Dorset Crime Group Looking for Young Blood to Reach Out to Public
7:46am 28th May 2014
Crime fighters in West Dorset are looking to youth to add to their ranks.
Dorchester's Crime Prevention Panel (DCPP) want to get more over 16's involved in the work they do.
The panel is made up of local volunteers who work in partnership with the community, the Police and other agencies to improve particular areas for residents in Dorset.
By developing schemes and launching initiatives, the panel aim to cut crime, help victim, and develop community support projects.
DCPP is also aiming to raise £5,000 for a new vehicle to tour the county offering tips on how we can keep ourselves and our property safe.
Crime Panel Chairman Karen Armitage says they want to spread an important message;
"We want to go round, we want to talk to the public and make them aware of crime prevention products we can sell to them at no profit. We want to make people aware of how they can stay safe whether its in their home or our on the street when they're out."
"We have alarms people can put on their sheds, we have door alarms or even a bell that goes on your purse so that if someone tries to touch it, it will ring and you'll know they're there."
David Taylor, Vice Chairman of the Crime Prevention Panel in Dorchester, says they're looking to enlist people from all walks of life.
"Young farmers and the farming community and villages. It's just having people on the panel that can represent the entire community from 16 upwards."
If you would like to find out more about volunteering for the Dorchester Crime Prevention Panel who meet 6 times a year, contact David Taylor.
