Soak in the hundreds of entrance door options with our Get Inspired Gallery!
Casement Windows
Crank some fresh air into your home with some brand new casement windows. These windows look great when paired on either side of a picture window and fit perfectly in any room of your home.
Providing a clear view of the great outdoors, these highly sought-after windows are hinged from the side and open outwards.
With a crank feature to open or close the window, you can allow that fresh breeze to enter your home without obstructing your view. As a bonus feature, many of our crank handles have the option to fold compactly against the hardware when they're not in use—this comes in handy, especially if you want seamless operation of your blinds, as they will sit flat against the window jams.
Safety first! When engaged, our casement windows have a built-in safety feature which locks the window in place. This stops your window being pried open and gives you the flexibility to open the window when the weather is nice.
Casement windows are available in many sleek and professional designs, styles, colours, and materials. This means that you'll be able to find a casement window that best fits your lifestyle and décor!

Although glass may look the same, not all glass preforms the same. When considering options for your casement windows, choose a glass that fits your climate accordingly. If you are located in a colder region, make sure to choose a glass with more insulation properties as well as different glass coatings with energy-efficient properties. Energy-efficient windows rely on adequate glass performance!
Energy Efficient Glass Options
Argon Gas
Argon gas is a non-toxic, odourless, clear gas that fills the space between panes of glass. This inert gas minimizes convective currents, which translates to a reduced chance of your windows collecting frost on frigid days.
Krypton Gas
Denser than argon gas, krypton gas is a slow-moving inert gas that prevents heat loss and provides optimal thermal performance.
Dual Clear Glass
This option consists of two panes spaced half an inch apart, with the air between the panes acting as an energy-efficient insulation barrier.
Standing for 'low emissivity,' this clear coating works to reduce your home's heat loss by, first, allowing outside solar energy in and, second, reflecting heat from your furnace back into your home. In the cold winter months, you may see the demand on your furnace reduced. When combined with dual or triple pane glass, low-e can offer up to 105% better insulation value.
Ideal for windows with high sun exposure, such as west- or south-facing windows, this high-calibre coating blocks out UV rays, light, and heat produced by the sun by using two layers of low-e coating. SunStop also provides top-notch insulation performance by limiting the effects of a hot or cold climate on your home's interior space.
Triple Pane
Similar to their dual panned counterparts, triple pane windows have not two, but three, panes of glass spaced half an inch apart, which provides higher insulation value. This energy-efficient option can work to lower heating costs while limiting condensation. Triple pane windows are an exceptional sound proofing option, limiting outside noise and giving you added privacy.
Optional Glass Types
- Bronze
- Frosted
- Glue Chip
- Grey
- Obscure
- Pinhead
- Sycamore

I am scheduled for a surgical biopsy on July 14th and don't know what to expect. Seems like everyone I know that has had a problem had the needle aspiration. I was told it would bleed to much so I have to have surgery. Is there much pain afterword? Can you wear a bra or is there a certain kind/type I should wear? How many days off from work would I need? I was told I could go back the next day but I sure don't want to go back braless. I feel like I pulled the short end of the straw since I don't know anyone that has had this done so I don't know what to expect. On July 23rd my husband is having the seeds done for prostate cancer we found out he had last month. When it rains it pours around here. Thank you for your help ladies.

Sorry I can't help with the surgical biopsy. I only had the needle aspiration. But, I wanted to let you know we will be with you in spirit to make sure everything goes well. I am pretty sure some of the ladies have had this, so you should get some advise soon. Hang in there. Hoping for B9!!! Sorry about
DH. It kind of poured on me during chemo, too, because my DH decided to fall off the roof right after my 1st chemo. Shattered his heel, surgery, in a cast for 3 months. So, instead of him taking care of me, I was taking care of him! It was a
difficult time, but we made it through.

I had the surgical biopsy and it was quite easy for me. Keep in mind that we all may have different experiences with surgery. You'll probably be more comfortable wearing a bra for a few days, without wire. You'll want the support, as when the breast pulls down with gravity, you may feel discomfort. I just took OTC pain pills, did not need anything stronger, and I went back to work the next day. That may also depend on what kind of job you have. I have an office job where there is no physical lifting. It may be hard to lift and hold heavy things for a while. I used a small pillow at night, as I sleep on my side and I needed support for my arm so it would not rest on my breast.
80% of breast tumors are benign, so here's hoping yours is too!

My experience is much like Lori's. I've had two surgical biopsies. Went back to work after the first (with a cancer diagnosis!), but was advised to go home and rest after the second one (no cancer that time). Like Lori said, everone is different. I had little discomfort and quickly resumed normal activities. Your surgeon should perscribe pain meds, but I did not need them. In fact, I was surprised at how little pain I did have. Good luck to you. Please come back and let us know how it goes and what you find out. Hugs, Lauri

Wire guided sounds worse than it is. I was nervous about
it the first time, but it was easy. The nurses told me the surgeon I had does nearly all his biopsies with a wire guide so he does not miss anything. Sounds smart to me. They will numb this skin before inserting the fine wire. You probably won't feel a thing. Lauri

Thank you Lauri,
My surgeon said he never misses, sure hope he's right
This has to be with a wire guide as there is no lump and it's close to the chest wall which is why they couldn't do a needle biopsy.

I had the surgical biopsy also and it wasn't that bad at all. Hang in there and let us know how it goes. We care!
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

I had an ultrasound guided breast biopsy on July 10. It was not bad at all. They deadend the skin and after applied a small sugrie-strip. I have a little discomfort, but it isn't constant. Sad to say I have what is called infilterating ductal carcinoma grade 3 0f 3. Whatever all that means. I see the breast surgeon Wednesday. My daughter will be here to go with me. I have a surgeon that specializes in breast surgery. That helps. I pray it's not in my lymph nods. Best of luck on your biopsy and also to your husband. Dee

hello all. I'm new, and I started reading your posts when I had my left breast checked for a small lump. Since then (July 15th) I've gone through the several painful mammograms they took, plus the ultrasound. They couldn't clearly give a diagnosys (cyst or tumor), so I was sent to the breast surgeon, who said that it looks like a complex cyst and it's so dense they can't use the needle to take a sample. So I'll have surgery on August 22nd for a biopsy. I'm not only concern about
the results, but also of the "after effects" of the surgery. I'm not young (39), but I was still hoping to get pregnant. I'm keeping my hopes high, thinking that everything will be OK and actually be concerned about
how the breast will "behave" if I get pregnant, after having the surgery. That's all I could say right now, I'll keep reading your posts for comments about
the surgery (it looks like my lump is easy to find, and it's close to the areola, does it make the surgery easier and the healing faster?)
Thanks! Beti

Well, after so long I've decided to write again. I wasn't sure about
it, as everything came back negative from my excisional biopsy (the lump turned out to be a fibroadenoma) and I almost felt ashamed to say it after reading how many of you get bad news from the biopsy. But I just wanted to say, for those that have to go through it, that everything went so well with the doctor and the nurses, that I'm happy I did not have to wait and see is the lump changed before deciding to have a biopsy. Another thing, beside all the anxiety of waiting first for the surgery, then for the results, is that I found myself worrying about
my family, not about
myself, if the lump turned to be BC. I know that fibroadenomas tend to form again, so I'll probably have to endure all this again, thinking it's something bad (I know women with fibroadenomas have twice the chance to get BC). It also tells me that at almost 40 I might be getting into premenopause :). Anyways, I just wanted to say good luck to everybody in the forum, those who have to go through all the tests and waiting, and those that go through treatment. I'll keep reading the posts!

Do not feel ashamed to tell us you don't have BC. We, of all people, rejoice when we hear those words. I am very happy for you. As Judy said, stay on top of your health, because no one else will. I wish you a very happy, cancer-free life.

Thank you very much for your words! I did lose a very close friend because of BC (tomorrow would be her birthday) because I think she did not have the proper treatment, according to her age and type of cancer. I hope that all the advice you give here could reach even more people.
I also wanted to mention that I had a lot of support from my partner, you will laugh, but he kind of found the lump, and encourage me to go to the doctor right away (I was planning to wait for a couple of months to see if the lump went away), and having all my family far away (South America) that meant so much!
I think going through this will also help me provide support to other women. One of my cousins has a similar problem, and she basically freaked out when she heard about
fibroadenoma, because she has several. If any of you has any more info (besides what can be found online) or a very good site to check, I'll really appreciate the info.
Abrazos (hugs, in spanish)

One of the most common reactions to this summer's X-Men: Days of Future Past - love it, hate it, or stumbled into it by accident - was what was missing. Where was Rogue? Why did Havok only have a cameo? Just what were Bishop's powers, anyway?
Well, as it turns out, there was a whole lot of stuff we didn't see - and it might just reveal a huge SPOILER or two for X-Men: Apocalypse.
Anthony XMF at x-menfilms.com has just released a whole bunch of fresh information about the scenes that were cut from Days of Future Past - either at the script stage, or in post-production. Some of the information has appeared before in other forms, but as a whole it paints a picture of a very different movie, with several characters that didn't make the final cut - as well as revealing just what we could expect to see in X-Men: Apocalypse.
As such, expect major SPOILERS for X-Men: Days of Future Past, and possibly for X-Men: Apocalypse, below...
The film, also, though, originally saw more than one big surprise.
For instance:
Havok Totally Dies
Remember Mystique's awesome military breakout? Y'know, this one:
Well, originally, Havok didn't escape with the rest of the military mutants. Instead, he was captured by Stryker - and we later see him in his own scene, being chased by a sentinel. Which, it seems, ends badly. That scene where Mystique discovers the autopsy reports for her old friends from First Class? Let's just say there was another report on the pile...
Now, this could have changed for a whole lot of reasons - not wanting to be unnecessarily murderous being just one of them - but there's another distinct possibility. With X-Men: Apocalypse now looking set to feature some of the original X-Men when they were young - including Cyclops - it seems more and more likely that Bryan Singer decided to keep Havok (Cyclops' brother in the comics) alive for narrative reasons.
That, though, we're unlikely to see - you'd have to assume it was changed at the script stage. Others, though, could well be on their way in an Extended Edition pretty darned soon.
For instance:
Rogue Actually Appeared in the Main Story
By now, pretty much everyone and their dog has heard about how Rogue's big scene was cut from Days of Future Past - but it turns out that may also have impacted on the roles of several other characters, too. Iceman, Storm and Bishop were originally supposed to have much larger roles - with Iceman accompanying Magneto and Professor X to rescue Rogue, and Bishop taking a subsequently larger role in defending Wolverine and Kitty Pryde.
Odds are we won't see most of that in the extended version - but we can at least look forward to a whole load more of Anna Paquin than we saw in cinemas.
Speaking of characters who barely appeared in the final movie:
Bishop Originally Had an Actual Part
It's the usual movie routine. Cast an internationally famous, critically acclaimed actor in your big-budget tentpole picture, give them one of the cooler parts in comic-dom, and then do your best to make sure no-one realizes they're in the movie.
Poor Omar Sy. Bishop on the page is a dark, mysterious and generally awesome character. On screen, no-one who hadn't read the comics had any idea what on Earth his powers we even supposed to be - and he was relegated to being just one of the cannon-fodder book-end mutants.
Originally, though, he had a whole lot more to do. Defending Kitty and Wolverine aside, he originally got an actual, factual dialogue scene - in which he warned against the risks of time travel, talked about how it could cause some of them to not exist, and pointed out to Wolverine that he'll still remember everything if he succeeds.
Which sounds cool, but also lengthy, and very much like the sort of extraneous exposition that gets cut out in the edit bay. Which means we'll probably see it soon, and can work it out for ourselves.
At least Bishop made it into the film, though - and could still have a role to play in Apocalypse. Some characters weren't so lucky:
Jubilee Was Supposed to Blow Stuff Up
As confirmed by Phillip Boutte Jr's concept art, Jubilee was originally intended to appear - most likely in place of Sunspot. Not that it stopped her dying by being blasted off the wall in the final battle, though.
Could we still see her in Apocalypse, though?
It doesn't seem hugely likely - but possibly more so than another character who almost appeared:
Such as:
The Juggernaut Was Cut...For Quicksilver
Once again, concept art confirms it - in this instance, by Anthony Jones. Juggernaut was originally supposed to feature as an 18 year old football player, and former Xavier student - who helps to break Magneto out of prison.
The whole subtle, awesome, Quicksilver scene? Yeah, that was gone. In it's place?
Juggernaut jumps out of the X-Jet, and dives through a whole bunch of levels of the Pentagon. Which is...effective, I suppose. The coolest part of the whole thing was that Wolverine was set to jump after him, and break every bone in his body on landing.
Still, though, it would have meant replacing this piece of awesomeness:
with something a lot more like this:
Which is never a good idea, but does suggest there might still be a possible return for the Juggernaut in a future X-movie.
Some stuff that was cut out might be a whole lot more controversial, though.
Such as:
Beast and Mystique Had a Romantic Sub-Plot
Not everyone loved the Beast and Mystique romance angle to X-Men: First Class, so it wasn't a huge surprise to see it massively down-played in Days of Future Past. Originally, though, it was a whole big chunk of the film.
At one point, Beast offers Mystique the chance to take his serum, and get rid of her mutation - which she refuses. She points out that they could be together - but only if he accepts their mutation.
Which, the original ending suggests, he eventually did - as we were set to see the two of them teaching a biology class together.
The absence of which in the final film could point towards a very different ultimate outcome for Mystique - or could just imply that the filmmakers wanted to leave their options open...
The big one, though, has to do with THAT post-credits sting:
Apocalypse Originally Appeared in a VERY Different Way
That Post-Credits scene - the one set in Ancient Egypt, and not really revealing anything much to non-comicbook fans - wasn't originally set to be in the movie.
In it's place, we were set to see something way cooler - and a whole lot more revealing about what to expect from X-Men: Apocalypse.
We still saw Apocalypse, but instead of getting a glimpse of him way back in the past, we saw him fall from the sky - and combine himself with Magneto.
Which, from the sounds of it, is probably what we should now expect to happen around about the end of the first act of X-Men: Apocalypse.
[X-Men: Apocalypse](movie:1194267) is set to arrive in cinemas - Apocalypse/Magneto joining scene or not - May 27, 2016.

I not sure where but I did read on one website that so long as the crude price remains below $60/65 then there would be refunds or credits to onboard accounts. Maybe someone else will come up with a better response to your query.
If you have paid the fuel surcharge and the price of Brent crude oil remains below £40/bbl ($60) the before you sail then the fuel charge will be reimbursed through on-board credit. Go to the excellent Fred. Olsen website and select "our ships" and all will be explained in detail.

Marina Abramovic: Being an Artist Means "Lots of Lonely Hotel Rooms"
So what makes a great artist? That you have a fever, that you are obsessed. And it's just total commitment. And lots of lonely hotel rooms. You know it's kind of a lonely life. This is why I couldn't have children, this is why I couldn't be married, I could not. It's like being a soldier.

Luton, United Kingdom (PressExposure) April 19, 2008 -- AquaCity Resort, Slovakia, has been chosen to host the first World Travel `Green' Awards, to be held in the eco-friendly waterpark and spa over the weekend of 5th - 7th September 2008.
The Awards recognise the top achievers in the global travel industry, voted for by travel agents internationally. The Green Awards will recognise the contribution tourism organisations are making towards conserving the planet and advancing green tourism.
AquaCity Resort was the first winner of the World's Leading Green Resort and its British CEO, environmentalist businessman and visionary, Mr. Jan Telensky, was awarded special recognition as the Travel Industry's Leading Green Personality in 2007.
AquaCity was built to demonstrate Telensky's vision that it is possible to be green, affordable and still have a business edge, by reducing running costs through using freely available, natural resources to heat and power the resort. This saves millions of euros each year and around 27 tonnes of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere each day, compared with a resort burning fossil fuels.
The world's first Green Travel Awards at AquaCity will host around 250 representatives from hotels, resorts and destinations worldwide and will honour those who are making the most effective contribution to green tourism.
Mr. Jan Telensky said "AquaCity is the natural home for the World Travel Green Awards, having been the first winner of the World's Leading Green Resort. The future of tourism is bound up in its responsibility towards conserving energy, respecting our surroundings and not destroying what the tourists are coming to enjoy when they come on holiday. That is why AquaCity is playing such an important role in demonstrating to the world's hotels and destinations that they can be green, affordable and profitable".
Graham Cooke, president and founder of the World Travel Awards said "We're delighted to be coming to AquaCity for the first ever World Travel Green Awards. The World Travel Awards is proud of its impartial nature and the comprehensive process of its voting programme. Votes are cast by 167,000 travel agents and tourism professionals from 198 participating countries which makes winning an award the greatest form of recognition in the travel business".

The duration of the service was as described. The people we curious. Would love it if more attention was paid to details. Put the seat into original position.

New York, Sep 21 (UNI) Four fossil skeletons of early human ancestors discovered in Georgia, the former Soviet republic, could help in the understanding of species in transition, reports said.
The findings will give scientists a revealing glimpse of a species in transition, primitive in its skull and upper body but with more advanced spines and lower limbs for greater mobility, a report in the journal Nature suggested.
The findings, considered a significant step toward understanding who were some of the first ancestors to migrate out of Africa about 1.8 million years ago, may also yield insights into the nature of the first members of the human genus, Homo.
The scientists said the new evidence apparently showed the anatomical capability of this extinct population for long-distance migrations.
''We still don't know exactly what we have got here,'' International Herald Tribune quoted the excavation leader David Lordkipanidze as saying.
Other paleoanthropologists said the discovery could lead to breakthroughs in understanding the critical evolutionary period in which some members of Australopithecus, the genus made famous by the Lucy skeleton, made the transition to Homo. The step may have been taken more than two million years ago.
''The Australopithecus-Homo transition has always been murky,'' a paleoanthropologist at Harvard University Daniel Lieberman said, adding that the new discoveries further highlight ''the transitional and variable nature of early Homo.'' Earlier, the international team led by the director of the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi Lordkipanidze found several skulls and stone tools at Dmanisi in the 1990s. However, the Dmanisi specimens found recently were quite different. Their brains were closer in size to those of Homo habilis, a poorly understood earlier ancestral species.
Overall, the fossils were ''a surprising mosaic'' of primitive and evolved features. The small body and small craniums and the upper limbs, elbows and shoulders were more like those of the earliest habilis specimens, the scientists said.

A civil war is being waged among jihadists for the soul of Islam. While all Islamist radicals may share a vision of a purified and unified ummah, or Muslim community, few agree over how to bring it about. Ultra-militant wings, such as Al Qaeda, dominate our thoughts and headlines, for they exported their brand of terrorism to America's shores and now have carried it into the heart of Iraq. Yet they are in the minority. Most jihadists are struggling, often against great odds and under enormous pressures, to accommodate themselves to gradual social and political change in the Arab world.
As Middle Eastern scholar and media commentator Fawaz A. Gerges reveals in this unstinting, deeply personal, and brilliantly illuminating book, we need to know now more than ever who the jihadists are and to listen to what they are saying to each other and the world. Gerges went to Cairo, birthplace of modern Islamist radical thought, and began a dialogue with one of the movement's founders. Using these conversations as a starting point, Gerges spoke with hundreds of other jihadists throughout the Arab world, tracing the evolution of extremist thought from the 1970s to the presentfrom the civil war in Lebanon, which Gerges and his family endured, to the war in Iraq that is giving Al Qaeda a new lease on life.
The jihadist journey has led through bloodshed and turmoil. It did not begin on September 11th and it will not end in Baghdad. This crucially important and timely book maps the direction jihadism will take in the months and years ahead by showing whereand with whomit all started.
In September 2005, Gerges, an academic turned news commentator, published a rare and thoughtful piece of scholarship, The Far Enemy, that sought to map the different views within militant Islam's explosive underworld. Gerges argued nimbly, drawing upon numerous primary sources and firsthand interviews. After traveling across the Middle East and meeting with former jihadists, he learned that Islamic militants often disagreed on critical issues (including whether to attack the United States) and that their movement was far more variegated than Washington's official portrayal suggests. Published less than a year later, this new volume reads like a quicky follow-up. It covers similar ground, draws upon similar sources and is considerably more limited in its scholarly aspirations-although not, perhaps, in its commercial ones. Yet the follow-up may be the better book. Gerges has distilled his ideas to their core and done away with some of The Far Enemy's repetitions. The book's structure is also improved. It's now built around a series of profiles that give focus to each chapter and shed light on how key personalities within the jihadist vanguard see the world. Gerges even devotes time to his own upbringing in war-torn Lebanon, and although the veers into his personal story are not always relevant, they are fascinating in their own right, adding both intimacy and depth to this valuable book.

DENVER — After waiving forward Alonzo Gee earlier this week, the Denver Nuggets signed the veteran wing to a 10-day contract Sunday, the team announced.
Gee, 29, has already appeared in 13 games for the Nuggets this season. He averaged 6.8 minutes per game and scored a season-high seven points in 27 minutes in Denver's 132-129 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder back on Nov. 25.
The seven-year veteran was originally signed by the Nuggets back on Nov. 18 to provide help on the wing when Denver was without Will Barton and Gary Harris, who both missed a significant amount of time with ankle and groin injuries respectively.
Gee was waived on Jan. 6, two days before his $1.1 million salary was set to be guaranteed and signing Gee to a 10-day contract worth $77,000, saves the Nuggets a significant amount of money. The Nuggets can sign Gee, or any player, to two 10-day contracts before they have to either sign the player for the remainder of the season or waive him.
The Denver front office and coaching staff has long been fans of Gee. He played well in a 39-game stint with the Nuggets during the 2014-15 season and averaged 4.9 points in 13.1 minutes per game. Denver is confident that they can use the defensive-minded Gee in a pinch if injuries arise and they need an extra body to insert into their rotation.
"We love Alonzo," said Nuggets coach Michael Malone via the Denver Post, "He was terrific. So that move by no means was an indication of how we feel about him. The front office made a move that going forward gives us flexibility."
Gee will travel with the Nuggets to London and be in uniform for their game against the Pacers Thursday at the O2 Arena.

There are many kinds of water. The gentle flowing rivers that carve a path through the landscape—the soft rumblings of the lakes—the frozen formations sparkling in a winter chill. There is the water that refreshes on a scorching hot day and the gentle rain that feeds life. Water that cleans, purifies, and cleanses, washing away our past. It makes up 50-60% of the bodies we inhabit and we can only survive 3 days without it.
Perhaps it's the ocean that most captures the heart and soul of water. From calm and tender waves, lapping on the shore, to mighty storms rolling and breaking, we are in awe of its majesty. With over 7 billion pilgrims travelling the road of life, we share much in common beyond our need for water—our bodies and personalities, work, dreams, smiles and tears. We crowd together for safety and companionship, yet yearn for the something deeper that is just ours—the uniqueness that makes us all different. We have thoughts, ideas, opinions, and we want someone in the world to listen—we want to be heard.
Sitting on the coastline, looking out at the vast emptiness, we can be alone with the world and choose to speak—or be silent and listen—two words incidentally, which use exactly the same letters. In 1989, a group of oceanographers listened and made a startling discovery—a whale communicating on a frequency of 52 hertz; much higher than the normal range for whales of 17-18 hertz. At 180 decibels, whales are the loudest creatures in the world, but since hearing it, all attempts to locate the 'lonely whale,' (as it was christened) have failed. All these years, a whale of an unknown breed continues to swim, sing, and live. Is it searching for a soul mate?—someone to hear it's song?
And, what of us? What are we searching for? A YouGov poll just released in the UK asked 14,000 people what would be their most desirable job. Unsurprisingly, doctors, lawyers, and investment bankers made the list. Hollywood movie star was also a choice, but at almost twice its popularity, the winner was—Author. As well topping the list for most desirable, it also had the smallest percentage for a job people would not want to do.
After all, writing is easy, right? Sitting at home, in your pajamas, pounding out successful stories? Wrong—writing maybe simple, but good writing is very hard work. Even the very best have their struggles. Then, it must be the money. The best seller and the movie that follows? Wrong again. Writers make very little. Counting traditionally and self-published authors, one third of them make less than $500 a year. We could surmise it is a dream—wishful thinking, like the lottery. We buy tickets even though the chance of winning is so low, or is it our desire for someone to listen to what we have to say?
We don't know what people in the survey were thinking and perhaps I would be happy with some of my conclusions if it were not for the second most desirable job—Librarian. That's right, when we are not writing, we want to be around books and being a librarian is much more than shuffling books on shelves. They help with job searches, run book groups, teach literacy, assist with research etc. It's a complex job requiring many different skills and a high level of education.
Do we really love books that much, or is it peace we are seeking? Perhaps there is something much deeper occurring in the sea of our minds and the unconscious desire the survey participants expressed, is the voice inside, calling us to focus on creating our own unique story. In that connection, we come to realize that it's not being heard by others that matters, but being in tune with what each of us is here to learn.
Somewhere in a distant ocean, a whale is singing at 52 hertz. Take time by the shore to rest and refresh. Perhaps by listening to the melody of the water you will discover a higher frequency in your depths and author the story, which is just for you.

I wake up every morning and wish and wonder why I'm not dead ,i can sleep for ages but still wake up exhausted , i carnt be open with anyone because i feel like they don't care and when they say they do they really don't that's why i keep it to myself. I've started drinking soo much recently and it should bother me but it doesn't it just helps numb the pain. I see everyone one moving on with there life's and I'm stuck here standing still and it hurts what do i need to do to make it stop.
I feel so alone. unwanted used . Messed up , unworthy , dead inside , crushed , drowning , hurt ,lost and beyond help . I close my eyes and i can see him raping me over and over again how is that fair i can feel him , hear him , smell him its touture and I'm done with it , i wish i kept quiet about it because it would be easier to let it carry on than deal with this now
If i could leave this world with no questions asked i would but i guess I'll just keep it to myself from now on 😭😭😭😭

Dec 31 (Reuters) – James Bernhard, chief executive of
engineering company Shaw Group Inc, has sold off most
of his stake in the company he founded after shareholders
approved a sale to Chicago Bridge…
Faith and business can seem an awkward mix. In a world of hard-nosed competition and cold calculus, faith can seem out-of-place, almost a weakness. My personal experience has been quite different. Running a high-tech startup has helped deepen my faith, and my faith has helped me run the business better. I better understand the world in general and business in particular by studying the Torah. I can even say I understand Torah better, by bringing my business experience to its learning.
Torah and business are not two separated realities with distinct rules. When God created the world, He looked into the Torah and used it as the blueprint for creation. That's why we better understand creation when we study its blueprint, and we learn to understand the blueprint by experiencing one of its main expressions: the business world.
Eighteen hundred years ago, the Talmudic Sage, Rava unveiled the first question a human is being asked when led in for judgment after completing his life in this world: Did you do business faithfully? This is not just the first question; it is the main question; another way to say this is did you bring your faith to your daily business life? That's quite a surprising question for the day of Judgment. One would expect a more religious question, such as observance of Ten Commandments, about the frequency of visiting the synagogue or even about how well you supported your community. But the Talmud seems to care more about business integrity.
A following question seems more conventional: Did you fix times for Torah learning? Note that the question is not about the number of hours spent learning, but rather it is about actually setting fixed times for learning. Rava knew then what we know today; man spends most of his day dealing with mundane business. However, to achieve the level of doing business faithfully (as required by the first question), we must fix times for learning. We've got to take a step back from our daily business and look at life and business as opportunities to bring faith and morality to the world. How do we react when a really large deal we have been negotiating for months falls through? Will we try to analyze and learn the root cause, or look for a scapegoat?
Judaism is not a religion: A set of ceremonies that we practice at home and at the synagogue. Rather, Judaism is a way of life… perhaps it defines even life itself. Our commitment to Torah and to morality doesn't end when we exit the synagogue, rather, that is where it starts. It is much more difficult to behave fairly and honestly when conducting business than it is to recite a prayer. Sure, prayer can be a tremendous source of inspiration, but the real test of its impact on our soul happens when we go back to our daily business.
The question we must ask ourselves on a daily basis is, "Do we bring our faith to our mundane, day-to-day business life or do we check it at the office reception door?"
This post is part of a series co-produced by The Huffington Post and Blogworld, in conjunction with the latter's NMX BusinessNext Social 2013. That event will feature some of the world's leading social-business luminaries and influencers, each of whom will be speaking at the event to provide an up-close look at how the world's most successful businesses harness the power of social.
If you were a fan of the band, The Police, you certainly remember the haunting song that featured the lyrics, "Every breath you take, every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you." That's as good a way as any to explain why Big Data is such a big deal.
Everything everywhere is being captured, recorded, and stored. Every keystroke. Every communication. Every transaction. Every interaction. The opportunity to make sense of the data in order to take intelligent action is compelling for obvious reasons. You might gain a competitive edge if you are able to know more so you can do more sooner.
The truth is that's a lot easier said than done. Despite the opportunity to gain insights and take intelligent action, Big Data is misunderstood. Which explains why there are so many views on what to do and what not to do.
In the middle of noise around Big Data is a clear voice with an enlightened view on what Big Data is all about. That voice is from a small, but smart software company in Austin, Texas called StoredIQ. StoredIQ packaged its views into a provocative, easy-to-read booklet called The Truth About Big Data. It is exactly what the title suggests. It's about dispelling the myths and unraveling the mysteries about Big Data.
The booklet, and the ensuing Truth About Big Data Roadshow drew the attention of thousands of executives and hundreds of companies. One company that took particular notice was IBM, the technology juggernaut that has jumped all over the Big Data bandwagon.
IBM was pulled in by StoredIQ's compelling take on the Big Data space, and impressed with the technological substance and knowhow behind StoredIQ's bold voice. On December 19, IBM announced its intentions to acquire StoredIQ, and make the company an integral part of IBM's Information Lifecycle Governance business unit.
The lessons here are clear:
The way to gain awareness of every step you take is to speak the customer language.
In hot, noisy, crowded market spaces, that's a truth worth following — especially for challenger brands.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is making "excellent progress" after a blood clot was found between her brain and skull, doctors say.
The deal emerging from the Senate is a lousy one. Let me count the ways:
1. Republicans haven't conceded anything on the debt ceiling, so over the next two months — as the Treasury runs out of tricks to avoid a default — Republicans are likely to do exactly what they did before, which is to hold their votes on raising the ceiling hostage to major cuts in programs for the poor and in Medicare and Social Security.
2. The deal makes tax cuts for the rich permanent (extending the Bush tax cuts for incomes up to $400,000 if filing singly and $450,000 if jointly) while extending refundable tax credits for the poor (child tax credit, enlarged EITC, and tuition tax credit) for only five years. There's absolutely no justification for this asymmetry.
3. It doesn't get nearly enough revenue from the wealthiest 2 percent — only $600 billion over the next decade, which is half of what the president called for, and a small fraction of the White House's goal of more than $4 trillion in deficit reduction. That means more of the burden of tax hikes and spending cuts in future years will fall on the middle class and the poor.
4. It continues to exempt the first $5 million of inherited wealth from the estate tax (the exemption used to be $1 million). This is a huge gift to the heirs of the wealthy, perpetuating family dynasties of the idle rich.
Yes, the deal finally gets Republicans to accept a tax increase on the wealthy, but this is an inside-the-Beltway symbolic victory. If anyone believes this will make the GOP more amenable to future tax increases, they don't know how rabidly extremist the GOP has become.
The deal also extends unemployment insurance for more than 2 million long-term unemployed. That's important.
But I can't help believe the president could have done better than this. After all, public opinion is overwhelmingly on his side. Republicans would have been blamed had no deal been achieved.
More importantly, the fiscal cliff is on the president's side as well. If we go over it, he and the Democrats in the next Congress that starts later this week can quickly offer legislation that grants a middle-class tax cut and restores most military spending. Even rabid Republicans would be hard-pressed not to sign on.
ROBERT B. REICH, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the last century. He has written thirteen books, including the best sellers "Aftershock" and "The Work of Nations." His latest is an e-book, "Beyond Outrage," now available in paperback. He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause.
As a contrarian investor, I'm always looking to buy what people are selling and sell what they're buying. It's the only way to ensure you're getting a reasonable price. This often leads me to forsaken corners of the investment world. I recommended a Greek stock earlier this year, for example.
For most people, ETF's (exchange traded funds) are the best way to invest. Their low cost, transparency, diversification, tax efficiency and liquidity make them superior to individual stocks or traditional mutual funds. This prescription comes with some black box warnings: always avoid leveraged ETF's. Also steer clear of exchange traded "notes" (ETN's) — which depend on the solvency of the issuer or sponsor. It's crucial to read the prospectus carefully. Finally, it's important to buy an ETF and hold it for the long-term, selling only when its price eclipses its intrinsic value. An ETF in the hands of a trader is as dangerous as any other gambling chip.
The intrinsic value of ETF's can be estimated by looking through to the individual holdings — or by using the valuations of quality, third-party objective research services such as Morningstar.
Based on valuation, these are the top two ETF's I recommend for investors in 2013:
VGK — Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF
Abject fear of Europe's debt problems continues to depress prices, leading to the best bargains on Euro stocks in decades. Top holdings include Nestle, HSBC and Novartis. There is substantial risk in this 445 stock portfolio, with 18 percent of the fund in financial services. But the 6 percent yield, average p/e ratio of 12, and meager 31 percent premium to book value compensate you for the risk (for perspective, the already cheap S&P 500 trades at a 97 percent premium to book). At these valuations, the underlying stocks have already priced in some form of Armageddon. With this ETF's modest 14 basis point expense ratio, access to Europe doesn't come cheaper than this. To replicate this portfolio on your own, the commissions and bid-ask spreads on these foreign stocks alone would be prohibitive.
DXJ — WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity
Japanese stocks have been a tiring story of gloomy stagnation and decline, with intermittent rays of progress. The staggering secular bear market that started in 1989 still persists, providing the harshest cautionary tale to any investor. International buyers have largely given up on Japan. As a result, however, stocks in Japan are now among the cheapest the world has ever seen. The average stock in this 271-company portfolio trades at no more than book value. Even the 1.76 percentyield is high by Japanese standards — and no longer looks paltry in a low-interest-rate world. Top holdings include Mitsubishi, Canon and Takeda Pharmaceutical. This ETF is the only major Japanese ETF that hedges its dollar-yen exposure, meaning that a US-based investor is somewhat protected from a decline in the yen. I don't normally like currency-hedged funds because the hedging is often imperfect — and a cost to the portfolio. And typically the foreign currency is undervalued along with the stocks. But this is an unusual circumstance: I believe the yen is substantially overvalued in contrast to the underlying equities. New leadership in Japan under Shinzō Abe's government is talking tough about reflation, a dynamic that favors stocks and disadvantages the yen.
For the long-term investor willing to buy what others have sold in droves, the VGK and the DXJ are my two top contrarian recommendations for the New Year.

The mandatory, across-the-board budget cuts from the federal sequestration are causing little noticeable effect on most school campuses, but schools for Native Americans already are feeling the pinch.
Jacquelyn Power and her students have been living with less since last November. Power is both superintendent and principal of the tiny Blackwater Community School on Arizonas Gila River Indian Reservation, one of about 1,300 school districts nationwide that receives federal Impact Aid for schools that cant collect local property taxes. So theyre preparing for a hard school year, perhaps one of the hardest since the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs built Blackwater in 1939.
We have this amazing little school that is beating the odds, Power said, but you cant continue to keep it up with no funding.
Schools located on both Native American land and military bases receive Impact Aid, but children on Indian lands account for nearly half of Impact Aid dollars, even though theyre outnumbered by military kids by more than three to one. While federal funding generally accounts for about 10 percent of most school districts budgets, in schools such as Blackwater, it can account for one-third or more.
When Powers annual check arrived last November, it totaled only about 70 percent of what she was expecting. Anticipating the mandatory cuts originally due to hit in January, federal bookkeepers cut her a check with a $62,000 hole in the middle.
Thats a huge amount of money in our budget, she said.
Add to that the first round of anticipated federal cuts for both poor and disabled children, and Power expects class sizes to rise. She already has spent most of her emergency fund.
A few hours east, Window Rock, Ariz., Superintendent Deborah Jackson-Dennison confirmed, Were already under the sequester, right now.
As she spoke Thursday, principals were gathered in a conference room down the hall from her Fort Defiance, Ariz., office, trying to figure out how to select teachers for pink slips. Thirty-five teachers already have said theyll leave the district this spring, but Jackson-Dennison needs to trim another 17. She began the school year with 179 teachers and can afford only 127 next fall.
The word has been out about this, she said. People are leaving on their own.
She plans to close or consolidate three of her seven schools.
John Forkenbrock, executive director of the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools, said hes getting phone calls and emails from superintendents looking for help putting together their 2013-14 budgets, but uncertainty about how the sequestration will play out means he cant really help them.
Districts could get a little relief as the federal budget process plays out. Powers 70 percent eventually could rise to 80 percent when final numbers are in.
We have to think that the glass is still half full, she said.
Jackson-Dennison said shes not sure where her laid-off teachers, 80 percent of whom are Navajo, will find work. Albuquerque is a three-hour drive, and that district is feeling the sequestrations effects, too.
Theyve been here for centuries theyre from here, and many generations have been here, she said. The school district is the only solid structure that they can rely on.

Geotab has released an Apple iOS compatible version of the MyGeotab app that makes it easier for fleets to manage productivity, safety and vehicle status, the telematics company announced.
Fleet managers can quickly and easily see the data they need in a format they are used to with simple drop-down and swipe features to track fleet trends in safety, fuel usage, and maintenance.
"The days when a fleet manager is tied to a desktop computer managing fleet performance are long gone," says Neil Cawse, CEO of Geotab. "Now managers need to be able to share data across the team and carry out their job whether in the office, in the field, or at home and on any device. The MyGeotab app makes that easier and quicker to do."
Importantly, the MyGeotab app is designed with fleet managers and their teams in mind, allowing all members of a team to see the same information at the same time, wherever they are based.
Geotab is an open platform in telematics with more than 600,000 active vehicles leveraging Geotab technology in 70 countries. The MyGeotab app was first made available on Android in November.
Key features of MyGeotab include advanced fleet and driver reporting; customized rule creation for events such as speeding or idling; real-time GPS vehicle tracking on a map; driver behavior management; engine health and maintenance monitoring; and route optimization.

Unanswered: Partitioning , Need experts review.
Good day,
And thank you in advance to Mr.Flump.
Recently, my SQL server administrator have asked me to review Partitioning as he is planning to go forward implementing it.
Here is a detail of hardware.
The servers are quad 2 x 16 server mechines , 64 GB RAM , 300 TB diskspace, with additional 300 TB tape .
The data he means to partition spans over 4 server machines.
Now the said data is the operational data of call center. listing states of America , Canada and United Kingdom .
The customers are in all the states , even in the smallest PE .
It is a customer info database with calling and DNC .
Partition is proposed by the administrator in form of range partition ( i think ) . creating partition of each state. or the group of states by the range of area codes .
I am against it uptill now . As i am mostly an oracle guy , and uptill now what i have read online , partitioning is more towards administrative functionality .. not towards performance .
I invite you all experts to kindly prove me wrong .
Tell me what you have learned about partitioning through your experience.
Respect and Regards

Partitioning (in the form of distributed partitioned views at least) can significantly improve performance in SQL Server 2005 and later.
The trick is to create a partitioning key that will divide the work instead of dividing the data. These can be the same key, but my luck has not worked that way.
With the geographic span from the UK to the Aleutians you're looking at 12 time zones. However, the population is no where near equally distributed and the transaction generation is probably more seriously skewed than the population. Finding a practical key to distribute the data across the processing partitions (servers) will be what my professors used to call "A non-trivial exercise" that will take some work. Finding a "perfect" key is impractical, but finding a useful key may be easy.
Once this is done, you have the resources of N machines to process your SQL. There will be marshalling costs (to distribute the SQL appropriately across the servers), but that will probably be negligable. The net result is that once you find the appropriate partitioning key, your queries will usually run significantly faster.
At a major client we took a database and application that was business critical, but was pushing hard against compliance deadlines because requried reporting was taking 90+ percent of the time allowed leaving every little margin for error. We were working with about 8 Tb of active data (about 7.3 TB historical, the rest OLTP) on one monster server. We created a six-way partition running as named instances on a seven node cluster, and cut the processing time down to less than 25% of the time allowed. This was expensive by Microsoft standards, but the total solution cost was less than just the Oracle license cost for the solution we replaced.
-PatPIn theory, theory and practice are identical. In practice, theory and practice are unrelated.

I Thank you for sparing precious moments of your time to reply my query.
The useful key can be the first 3 digits of the phone number as it is the only thing which can not be replicated for a phone number ( the total 3 digits and the rest of the phone number) .
also the first 3 digits classify the data into states.
I do not see the manageability of partitioning the data ' 1 partition per state' , i have said for the range of area codes ( eg. 219, 745,810) . and distributing it as RIGHT range in partition function .
but again i am against it as yet i dont see any greater result which can not be gained by full text index, cluster index and server configuration. specially disk array.
According to my tiny/impractical view, local servers residing in respective countries can be partitioned to their respective data set .
But again the sql-server admin is continuously saying partitioning will improve the WHERE CLAUSE search and the overhead from the total .mdf files currently in singular form .
what are your views .
I have a feeling i am wrong , but sql-server is not my area of expertness .
Respect and Regards

For example (links, pictures, tags, titles, video)? For me it is titles.
sort by best latest
That's a good question. It made me think again about why it takes me so long to write a hub. Out of the 80+ hubs I've written, a scant handful have taken less than a day, and most have taken many days to write.
Aside from content, I probably spend the most time on layout, meaning choosing and arranging the types of capsules I want to use to convey different kinds of information. I like to keep a hub's page visually interesting, so I use a lot of half-width text boxes, sometimes tables, and always photos or videos or both.
Another layout aspect that takes up my time is previewing a hub in progress to see how HP and AdSense ads are going to appear on the page. To avoid annoying empty white space caused by those automatic ad placements, I sometimes have to break down one text block into several capsules so that the ads "fit" the layout instead of control it.
My goal (aside from writing accurate and engaging text) is to create a visual design that lets the reader move easily from one idea to another, because there's almost no better way to lose an online reader than to make him plod through dense text or navigate meaningless white space in order to understand a message.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I also like to get a preview of the hub before I publish it and many times I adjust text that is not visually appealing to me...cheers
Pictures. As I go with content, I always have pictures in my head first of what I want to express. Then I go find it. Sometimes it can take an hour, sometimes a few minutes.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
that is good to visualize your design beforehand...perhaps I will try that...cheers

We support the fight for gender self-determination & body sovereignty.
on sale now:
about the project
As of July 1, 2017 we've donated over $24,000 and sold over 2,700 clothing items.
This 501(c)3 was inspired by Yoko & John's "War Is Over! (If You Want It)" campaign, a lifelong frustration with normative binary gender roles and coercive gendering, and a belief in self-determination.
We think that society's emphasis on assigned binary gender roles is harmful, damaging, and often violent, and this is a statement against that. However, by "gender" we don't mean "gender identities" — we believe that people's gender identities & expressions are valid and should be respected! We also don't intend for this to imply that we currently live in a post-gender world: gendered violence & gender inequality are real and pressing issues that require lots of work to dismantle.
Self-expression and solidarity along with critical thinking and a desire to start conversations guide the project. The message is open to interpretation and people's perspectives are far and wide.
We donate proceeds from clothing sales to organizations that work in support of trans & gender nonconforming people with special consideration for: education, youth empowerment, homelessness, mental health, incarceration, and structural racism. We also use proceeds to give free gear to LGBTQ youth and fund the continuation of the project.
GIO x Laura Jane Grace
In June 2015 we gave Laura Jane a Gender Is Over! If You Want It jersey. She wore it on stage for the entire summer, sparking a movement around the message. Today we work together on bringing visibility to trans and gender non-conforming people while financially supporting intersectional LGBTQ organizations, and occasionally giving away free shirts.

Q: A tenant who rents a house from me is requesting that I allow her to deduct lost wages from her rent. She notified me that her air conditioner was not working properly. I immediately called the home warranty company who sent out a technician as soon as it could that same day.
(The technician) made the repair, but the air conditioner began malfunctioning again shortly after he left. I then called an air conditioner repair company who came out and replaced another malfunctioning part the next day. I responded as quickly as was humanly possible.
On the first of the month, the tenant sent me a letter with two checks enclosed. One check was for the full amount of the rent -- $850 -- and a second check for $755. She said that she was sending both checks and would "let me decide which one to cash." She said she lost work waiting for the technician to make the repairs.
I believe I did everything I could to ef...

|Product & services pricing
|Chance of future purchase:
|Shipping & packaging:
|Customer service:
|Return/Replacement policy:
"PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE REVIEWS WRITTEN BY ACTUAL CUSTOMERS.!! This company seems to have a history of selling inventory that is "Out of stock". In regards to customer satisfaction they ****! In regards to estimated times for replenishing the inventory, again 1 star. You are better going directly to the source than purchasing from businesses that are always willing to accept a payment but not necessarily the responsibility of informing customers when the cant deliver. I would advise against dealing with these guys, the only thing i took from my experience was the payment went through fine but the delivery and the "its out of my control" scripted messages to the customers is very discouraging. "
"I recently placed an order for a power commander 5, an autotuner, and a bmc race filter. The power commander was missing the O2 optimizer. When I spoke with Corey he said he would contact Dynojet and they would send out a new one. A few days later I called back to get a tracking number and he said they isn't a tracking # but I should receive it in a few days. Well I called back in a few days since I hadn't received it and this time Corey was very rude and told me I just had to wait it out. I explained how long it's been since I placed my original order and I could not install my parts but he could care less and you could tell by his tone of voice that he didn't want to be bothered. I told him I wasn't confident that Dynojet sent the item out because I get delivery alerts on my iPhone when a shipping label is created with my address. He said that they sent it out via USPS and USPS doesn't have shipping alerts only UPS. I told him I get alerts from USPS on my phone all the time and could send him a screenshot of my phone. He then called my a liar over and over. Then he changed his story saying they sent it out in a regular letter with no tracking number. I felt something wasn't right and asked how to go about returning my order since I was not happy with the situation. Now he was really mad and said I could not return anything. Arguing back and forth he ended up hanging the phone up on me. I just called Dynojet and they are sending one out to me along with a tracking number via email. I don't know why I didn't just deal with Dynojet from the beginning. I've been a loyal customer to motomummy for 8 years and never had a problem with them. I guess they are great until something goes wrong, then they don't care to help."
I ordered a part on 1/20. Was notified by email from company that the product was not in stock and would take 3-5 business days to arrive for shipment. I was charged on the 20th and the product shipped on the 27th. I was concerned that the delay was unfair due to collecting funds immediately without having the product in stock. I felt that I should be compensated for the delay with a more expeditious shipping. They refused any assistance. The product was then delivered but no one could sign for it on the 29th. The 30th the package was never delivered to my home. I contacted the post office and they advised me the package was lost and they were trying to locate it. I then contacted the company to let them know the issue and to see if they could help. All they would do is tell me to email them and they would contact the post office. I was asking for help on how to get me the product and they would not do anything except wait for an email. I have filed a complaint with the consumer affairs division at the post office on the issue. I then received an email from Corey at motomummy stating that they contacted the post office and had it returned to them. They have held my money so far for 10 days with no product in my hands and will not be in my hands. They also state that they will not do business with me anymore. I am the consumer with the issue and they were not willing to contact them to find it to deliver to me, but rather to get the product back. Why did they charge me and keep my money without delivering the product? Also they know it is being sent back, why am I not refunded immediately? These are poor practices for good business.
"Fast shipping and excellent inventory. "
"Placed my order on Saturday and it was delivered to my front door on Monday!"
"Got my yoshimura TRS for my 2013 hayabusa sounds incredible and looks bad to the bone would recommend them to anyone "
"Great to deal with and will do again"
"I have mixed experiences with MotoMummy. With their in-stock items, shipping is very fast and usually ships next day (ASV levers). Well, if you order something that's NOT in stock (and it won't tell you), you will need to call them and ask what's up. They usually are very nice and tell you what date the items will come in. In the couple cases this has happened (track suit, jacket) I recieved NO indication whatsoever about the delay, which caused me to miss a track day. No email, no phone call, nothing on the website that would tell me they would have to order it. Other than these few problems, my experience has been pretty decent as I had to exchange a size, though it still took a few days it wasnt too bad.
So if order Alpinestars, make sure you factor in a few more days of handling should they have to order your gear in. Overall, a good experience, good prices, just some better communication would be nice."
"Very good service and communication. I was really happy with the price of my Vesrah brake pads. I will buy from them again. Tank ya MotoMummy!!"
"I was very surprised at how great Motomummy's customer service was. And my package arrived well before I thought it would. I highly recommend Motomummy to all of my friends and fellow bikers, to support a company that I feel, fully supports us!"
"MotoMummy offers the best pricing and fastest shipping. Order FP levers, stealth black with white dial and couldn't me more pleased with how they turned out. Love the feel of them. My friend order ASV levers and I prefer mine over his."
"I have previously ordered and received parts through Corey and the team at MotoMummy and aside from a small issue with having to return a chain due to incorrect supply have enjoyed being a customer. However due to current their current lack of after sales support I am now no longer a customer of this company. "
"Thanks for shipping to APO addresses. Only took a week with priority mail. Will continue to use site and push to other military members stationed overseas!"
"Very fast shipping! Great customer service! I will be making this my first place to shop from now on! "
"Quick shipping and great prices. These guys are awesome. "

TPM Polltracker
AP Poll: Majority Of Americans Worried About Loss Of Health Care Coverage
Some 56 percent of U.S. adults say that they are "extremely" or "very" worried that many Americans will lose health insurance if the law is repealed. Only 16 percent of respondents want the healthcare legislation repealed immediately, while 31 percent said Congress and President Donald Trump should have a replacement plan prepared before eliminating it.
Americans are fairly evenly split on keeping the law, with 53 percent saying it should be kept and 46 percent calling for its repeal. Most think improvements need to be made, with only 12 percent of poll respondents saying the health care law should be left in its current state.
Congressional Republicans and the Trump administration have yet to put forth a replacement plan for Obamacare, though they have promised that any alternative would include some of the law's most popular requirements, like ensuring that those with pre-existing conditions can receive coverage and that young adults can remain on their parents' insurance until age 26.
The last two conditions were listed by the AP-NORC Center respondents as two of the provisions they most want to see in a new health care law.
"Many elements of the health care law are popular, and the majority of Americans want to retain them in any replacement law Congress might pass," according to the AP-NORC Center.
The survey was conducted among 1,036 adults via telephone between Jan. 12-16, 2017.
