Air Quality Sciences helps identify poor IAQ
March 20, 2001
With mold growth in buildings an increasing concern, Air Quality Sciences (AQS) has developed tools to assist facility managers in identifying the source of poor IAQ. AQS has developed two test kits, a Mold and Allergen Test Kit and an IAQ Test Kit. The Mold and Allergen Test Kit tests for dust mites; cat, dog, and cockroach allergens; and environmental molds. The IAQ Test Kit monitors for formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, odorants, and surface mold.

I like to think that when Pitch got transformed from Kozmotis Pitchiner to the Nightmare King by the Fearlings, it was not an instant change, but a slightly more gradual process, lasting around a few days.
Just imagine that happening. Pitch would be slowly watching himself turn into everything he has fought against and everything he sought to rid from the world. He would be shocked at the thoughts of darkness and pain entering his mind. Horrified that he gets pleasure from those thoughts. Trying to hang on to what little remains of his sanity, but powerless to stop the darkness within him from spilling out.
Using what little control he has over himself, he goes begging his friends to kill him. But they refuse as they only know Pitch as a heroic general, not knowing what he will become. He then tries to end his own life. But strengthened by the hundreds of Fearlings that are taking over his soul, he fails.
He desperately tries to cling on to the memories of his daughter before they vanish forever from his mind. He goes through each and every moment of happiness he's ever had with his daughter: reading her a bedtime story, going on long walks with her, carrying her on his back, knowing that he would never see her again. But he's too afraid to go try and meet her one last time in case he loses control of himself and hurts her, or even kills her.
Not wanting his daughter to know what he has become, he writes a note pleading to whoever who finds it to tell his daughter that he has died valiantly in battle. He looks over at his locket one his time, tears running down his face. In his last act as Kozmotis Pitchener, his last act un-manipulated by the Fearlings, he presses his lips to it and says farewell to his daughter, the daughter he will never see again:
Goodbye my darling, please forgive me for whatever I do when I don't remember you. Be strong and take care of mommy for me. I love you.
And then -
Kozmotis Pitchiner is dead. The Nightmare King is born.

BALTIMORE- A U.S. District Court judge on Friday sentenced an Ocean City business owner to 10 months in prison, followed by one year of supervised release, for failing to file individual income tax returns and failing to report employment tax withholdings.
According to his guilty plea, 43-year-old Patrick McLaughlin operated several concession businesses in Ocean City including: photo companies Sunbeach Studios, Ltd. and United Beach Photo, Inc.; Arctic Inventions, Ltd., which operated a fleet of retail ice cream trucks; and 85 N Sunny, which provided beach equipment rentals to tourists. Court records show that McLaughlin failed to file corporate tax returns for Sunbeach, Arctic and United for tax years 2003 to 2009. As a result, McLaughlin failed to pay $10,239 in corporate taxes for United alone, from 2007 to 2009. Federal prosecutors said McLaughlin also did not file individual income tax returns for tax years 2005 to 2009, thus failing to pay a total of $151,114 in federal income taxes earned from his businesses. According to court documents, when in December 2010, IRS agents notified McLaughlin that he was under criminal investigation, McLaughlin submitted corporate and individual income tax returns for the missing years thereafter.
Court records show that from 2006 to 2008, McLaughlin also failed to report and remit Social Security and Medicare taxes (employment taxes) withheld from his employees' wages, resulting in a total employment tax loss to the government of $135,348.46.
Prosecutors also noted that similarly, in 2007 and 2008, McLaughlin and 85 N Sunny withheld more than $8,000 and $12,000 respectively in employment taxes, which he had a duty to pay, along with an additional $21,259. Prosecutors said that instead, McLaughlin did not report any withholdings and made only a one-time payment of $230.
As a result of McLaughlin's failure to pay corporate, individual and employment taxes, the total tax loss to the government is $296,701.46, prosecutors said.

This reminds me that I need to send logs to my GM; we kicked someone when he wasn't on (yay work + holidays making some officers scarce!).
We're a RP guild, but we have IC and OOC info posted and broken down fairly effectively on our website. We note our expectations, and have people play with us for a bit before even admitting them to our trial rank. Refusing to work with the officers trying to help smooth the transition into a new guild environment, hostility and spreading misinformation in OOC, and lying/story changing (sometimes in the same conversation!) to try to earn sympathy points is not a good way to keep working with a new group, when everything one is doing is already upsetting and confusing established players. I don't think this person even glanced at our info, which is really important to the RP of the guild--and establishes that we are not a progress group (we ally with a sister guild for our progression-ready folks).
There wasn't a hard and fast rule this person was breaking, and I brought up the low-level OOC rank at one point. When advice was ignored and people continued to be bothered, my roommate played 'bad cop' to my 'good cop' (in this guild we're both officers, and it's handy at times) and gave the boot for not working with the guild environment when I finally became too exasperated to calmly deal with it.
The regular guildies said they felt the public parts had been handled as well as could be. The GM later did say he expected the person to not work out, but not to have to be removed like that--they simply refused to leave, or change their behavior. Something had to give.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corporation (WPS) notified the state Department of Workforce Development that it plans to lay off 451 workers, including 250 in the Madison area.
WPS says the cuts will come from its offices on E. Olin Avenue in Madison and on the 1700 block of W. Broadway in Monona (those buildings have a Madison mailing address).
Another 201 employees will be laid off from its office in Wausau.
The company says the layoffs are set to begin March 29, 2013.
WPS says the cuts are due to competition and losses in the federal government contracts market.
The Department of Workforce Development says it will work with the affected employees to help them find other jobs.
WPS is a not-for profit corporation that offers commercial health insurance products.

A family has been evacuated from their Plant City home because the ground beneath it has opened up. Now, engineers will have to determine how big the sinkhole is, and if the house can be saved.
It's been 72 hours of chaos for Tom Manus and his family, who live on Country Hills Court North in Plant City, off Turkey Creek Road.
"It's actually a sinkhole up underneath the house here. It probably goes out 10-12 feet, a big circle, and it just caves out. I'm not sure exactly how deep it goes," Manus said.
Saturday afternoon, their normal life turned upside down.
"I just felt the whole ground shake. Just like something let go. And it sounded like someone hit the back wall outside my house. But it was actually the dirt falling from underneath the house," he said.
The fire marshal told the family -- including Tom, his wife, daughter Lindsey, and Lindsey's 10-month-old daughter Arabella -- that they had to get out.
"He said if you want anything valuable out of your house, you better get it now. Because they most likely won't let you back in," Lindsey said.
Members of two churches descended on their house, loading everything they own into trucks and trailers.
An engineering company came Tuesday with ground-penetrating radar to see how big the voids are.
The hope is that concrete can fill it. But Tom doubts what kind of fix that will be.
"Because it's a sinkhole. Even when they pour concrete, there's still a void deeper down. They don't start at the top. There has to be something at the bottom that caused it," he said.
Walking his property, Tom found where concrete blocks are separating along a wall.
And with all the rain they got last week, the sinkhole is dry -- so where did all the water go?
Tom says he doubts his family will ever move back in.
"I love the house. I've been in it for 18 and a half years. It's home. But I don't think I could ever live back in here again."
Meanwhile, a Bob Evans restaurant in Seffner was closed over the weekend after a likely sinkhole caused cracks to open in the structure. Experts will be assessing that scene as well.
Earlier this year, a Seffner man died when a sinkhole opened up underneath his bedroom during the night. The home was condemned and his body was never recovered.

Tigers Win, Porcello Gets 10th Win of Season
The Detroit Tigers know the Minnesota Twins are likely to be hanging around down the stretch and are glad to knock them back whenever possible.Relying on strong starting pitching and timely hitting, the Tigers did just that.Rick Porcello cruised through six innings and Detroit took advantage of Francisco Liriano's control problems in a 5-2 win over the Twins on Sunday.
Jhonny Peralta, Wilson Betemit and Ramon Santiago each had an RBI, and the Tigers extended their lead in the AL Central to two games for the first time this season.Victor Martinez added three hits for Detroit and Jose Valverde converted his 26th consecutive save opportunity.
"To win three out of four here, you got to be thrilled," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "They're not an easy team to beat."
Delmon Young had two hits for the Twins, who finished a 12-game homestand 6-6 and lost a half-game in the standings as they try to keep pace with the Tigers, Indians and White Sox in the division.Minnesota fell seven games back in the AL Central.
"We had some opportunities. We had some teams we could have made some ground up against," said Twins designated hitter Jim Thome.
"It would have been nice to win a series from one of these teams."Porcello (10-6) was forced to sit through several long stretches while his teammates were hitting, but he managed to stay loose and continue his July success. The right-hander allowed two runs on five hits in six innings and improved to 4-0 this month."As a pitcher you can't complain about long innings," Porcello said. "We're putting up runs and it's my job to stay loose and make sure I'm ready to go."
It's also the starter's job to wiggle his way out of trouble if needed. Porcello did just that when he got Michael Cuddyer to ground into an inning-ending double play with runners on first and third in the first inning."Cuddyer's one of the biggest reasons they're back in this thing along with their pitching," Leyland said. "To get him in the first inning was huge."Porcello also improved to 4-1 with a 2.30 ERA in his last six starts against the Twins.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Close Weekend with Tough Loss
October 17, 2010
Rochester, NY-The Adirondack
Phantoms couldn't get the bounces as they dropped
a 5-2 decision at the Rochester Americans Sunday
evening to close their stretch of three games in
three days. The Phantoms finished the weekend with
an even record of 1-1-1 as they earned 3 out of
6 standings points.
Patrick Maroon scored his team leading 4th goal
of the season and Joonas Lehtivuori had a goal and
an assist for Adirondack.
NHL veteran Michael Nylander scored a pair of goals
in the 3rd period to lead the way for the Amerks
who recorded their first home win of the year.
Phantoms goalie Brian Stewart made his 2010-11
debut in net. The rookie out of Northern Michigan
University played in three games late last season
for Adirondack.
Adirondack appeared to have Amerks goalie Jacob
Markstrom on his heels on several instances but
he was able to just hang on and make some big stops
to keep the Phantoms at bay.
Trailing 2-0 heading into the 3rd period, the Phantoms
continued with the momentum and Maroon lifted a
backhanded over an outstretched Markstrom on a rebound
to cut the deficit in half. After the play a couple
of penalties were doled out. Rochester was charged
with a five minute major while Bourdon took a two
minute minor thus things were looking promising
for the Phantoms as they were set to receive three
minutes of power play time.
But Nylander would score a 4-on-4 goal and then
would add a shorthanded goal a couple minutes later.
Lehtivuori got one of them back with his blast
off the inside of the iron from the left post to
make it 4-2. The Phantoms would have some more chances
and close calls after that but the Amerks were able
to hang on. And then Rochester's Michael Kostka
was able to bank the puck all the way down ice and
into an empty net in the closing minute for the
final margin.
The Phantoms outshot the Americans 27-25. Rochester
went 1-for-4 on the power play while the Phantoms
were 0-for-5.
Adirondack's record stands at 2-3-1 while Rochester's
moved to 3-2-0.
It was the Phantoms first game against a Western
Conference opponent in 2010-11. Adirondack will
host the Americans on Saturday, October 30 at the
Glens Falls Civic Center. The two teams are slated
to play each other four times this season.

against the Charlotte Checkers at 7:30. The AHL's
newest entry are the former Albany River Rats so
some of last year's rivalry will be continued. It's

Nike Hyperposite – Black – Bright Crimson | Release Date
August 10th, 2012 by John Kim | 2 comments
Arriving alongside the 'South Beach'-esque version of the Hyperposite will be this Black/Bright Crimson colorway – one that Sneaker News gave you a first exclusive look at just a couple of weeks ago. The $225 price-tag might be a pill a bit too big to swallow, but with all the technology that's packed into the shoe (full-length Air Max, Hyperfuse, and Foamposite), there's a definite 'bang for buck' value to the shoe. Your thoughts on the Air Max Hyperposite and the ambitious price? Let us know in the comments below and look out for these next Saturday!

My name comes from my non-Jewish grandmother but the actual name is Hebrew. Yitz'avel. Unfortunately, the only Biblical character with this name is a non-Jew labeled Jezebel in English.
The meaning of the name is 'dedicated to El.'I take that meaning seriously. I amI believe my name was G-d-given in the womb. I am dedicated to ADONAI and doing all I can to be a spiritual light in my community.
I knew G-d existed when I was 5 years old (not from any help from my parents, who were non-religious). At first I worshiped nature and later switched to the Creator of nature.
I teach 6th grade in my shul (combined Reform/Conservative) and teach an adult Torah class weekly. People call me for prayer. My rabbi asked me to select Biblical passages that he could use with the dying (the liturgy is about recovery). I was happy to help. I have trained and worked as a chaplain.

I believe I was named by G-d in the womb. The name is Hebrew and means 'dedicated to El.' My grandmother had this name. The only Biblical character with this name is a non-Jew named Jezebel. Sometimes people will mention Queen Isabella of Spain but I identify with the Jewishness of the name.
Since childhood, I have known there was a Creator. I received no religious training from my parents but sought it out on my own.
I have dedicated myself to G-d's work my entire life. In my shul, I lead 6th grade religious school and teach a weekly Torah study for adults. I trained for and served as a chaplain. My rabbi turned to me for advice on a better liturgical response to the dying (prayer for their recovery is absurd).
I have started two 12-Step meetings in various places I have lived, because I believe in creating places for healing. One's work out in society should echo one's work within the walls of a shul.
So I take my name seriously, as my personal calling.
Excuse 3 postings. I tried to clarify #1 and ended up with 3.
My real name is Theresa, and I was named for my great-grandmother, Theresa Arndt. Everybody always pronounced it Ter-EEE-SA, which I hated. For a while I told people my name was TER-AY_ZA, but it never caught on. When I was 14, I was writing out my name and started with Theresa and finished with my nickname Terry, and it came out Therry. Therry always amuses me, and it's always mispronounced.
Wow, big question. The first thing I think of is the Annie Dillard line from Holy the Firm, "A name, like a face, is something you have when you're not alone."
The second thing I think of is Genesis 2, where Adam is given the task of naming creation. I read this as Adam's search for love. In naming things he tries to find himself and cannot, until he discovers Eve, and gives her his own name (see Genesis 2:19-23).
I also think of the Burning Bush story in Exodus 3. Moses asks, "Who am I…?", and God answers "Eheyeh Imcha" ("I am/will be with you"). Interesting, I think, that this somehow answers Moses's question. A few sentences later, Moses asks, "Who shall I say sent me?", which is odd, because God has already identified himself as the God of the Hebrew ancestors… apparently that introduction wasn't enough for Moses. So God answers, "Eheyeh asher Eheyeh." I think that this is beautiful because God uses the same name for himself as he does for Moses—"Eheyeh." This is what makes names so special, that in naming something we identify with it. Sharing a name is like sharing a destiny.
The other stories I think of are Jacob and the Angel (Genesis 32) and Manoach and the Angel (Judges 13). Jacob and Manoach each ask the divine stranger for his name, and neither get an answer. In both cases, the angel tells the protagonist that his name is too wonderful for them to understand. In these stories, I understand naming as the human way of asserting control—a very special power, but one with limits. Textual tradition lists 72 names for God, each implying a unique relationship, and yet we are told not to name God in vain, which really drives home the weight of our power. And of course the holiest name is unpronounceable… what are we supposed to make of that?
So yeah. What's in a name? A lot. Our power as humans. Our ability to connect with the world. Our ability to assert control, for better of worse.
Malachi=Messenger of the Lord?(not even really a name but a description) I was the first born 1977, when my brother came 1979 his name was to be Levi but my grandmother said no, "they'll both be rabbis" So he was named Ashley (Gone With the Wind -Red Head) My next older cousin was Shannon, my next younger Joshua, and Jessica. However somewhere in-between 1976 and 1979 as in my family our names stopped coming from the bible although there was a Seth snuck in there in the 80′s! These were not family names, but just pulled out of the Bible.
I often wondered if this was a sign of the idealism of my parents and aunts and uncles generation eroding as they matured? Did these names shape us? I don't think as much as the lingering idealism that was imprinted onto us as it faded into the 1980′s in this case.
Personally, my name involved an amount of a "Boy Named Sue" quality growing up and being picked on constantly, never having a dean, teacher or doctor who was able to pronounce it correctly. Spanish class was fun too my name being shortened to Mal and being regarded as bad. I've have potential employers pass because they were too embarrassed to call and get it wrong. I've often considered using my middle name Mason to really test this but can't bring myself to do it I am Malachi. And in some sense I supposed the taunting endured, made me sensitive, perhaps mean and forced me to point out inequity once I had the wherewith all to and in a way I became what I was called 33 years ago. However, I'm no longer idealistic as I think my parents were in their 20′s but rather have become misanthropic and no longer surprised by the world, and sometimes wondering how my namesake made out in the ancient world.
I never became a rabbi, I have 4 degrees and can't get work as anything but a security guard. My brother is training again too, this time to be a welder.
My name must have been plucked out of whatever French novel my Mother was currently reading; Biblical names were not "fashionable" when I was born. However, my Hebrew names are those I acknowledge proudly – Hadassah Rachel. I believe I am a true and genuine "daughter" – not of only my parent (of blessed memory) but of Israel, my country and my community. I have Rachel's devotion to my people, my heritage and my family.
My parents gave me the name Katherine Anne; this soon became Kathy after the emergence of the Chatty Cathy Doll in 1960; I used that name until college in 1977 when I decided to go by the gender neutral "K"; after that I moved to San Francisco and became Irene (my non de guerre after joining a Marxist Leninist party); then back to Katherine again for a while, now Kineret bat Sarah for many years. All this is true. My husband says: "Katherine with a 'K', that explains everything." Looking back at the names I was given, the names I chose for myself, and more recently the names I chose for my children is a like looking at a map of my life. (P.S. My secret super hero name is Aqua Vixen.)
I love Moshe Gershon's comments All the more reason to sympathize with those nameless ones – Noah's wife, Jacob's other daughters, the woman of Shunam, Manoach's wife, the mixed multitude… What were they called?
Katherine–I love hearing small details from you in different weeks. How did you land on Aqua Vixen, and does it come in handy sometimes? I never heard Kineret as a name before, that's so beautiful, very aqua. Which complements the pink pills. Malachi–I think a Malachi could make more than other people out of being a security guard, elusive and watching. What's your job like? I so much enjoyed the story. Moshe Gershon: that Annie Dillard quote is great. Maybe a name and a face (and for you art fans out there: a style) are shorthand for something too complex, in its full prose, to love or own. We're not ourselves when we're alone. We're everything else. The self is a courtesy package for other people. Maybe also: the unpronounceable name of God is a riddle, to which the answer is very simple. I'm getting rambly.
I love my name so much. My favorite part of being named Gideon is looking in the back of Gideons Bibles and finding the page that says something like, "if you'd like to find other Gideons in your area, call…". That never stops being funny.
But I also love the special role that naming plays in the Gideon story. Throughout the story, the text switches back and forth, referring to the hero sometimes as Gid'on and sometimes as Yeru'baal. Gid'on is somewhat ambiguous in meaning—'On' means Might, and Gid may refer to a body part (in the hip-region? see the Jacob/angel story). Don't really know what to make of it. I once found a baby naming website that translated Gideon as "Destroyer" or "Feller of Trees," which I think is hilarious and awesome. But Yeru'baal definitely means He Who Fears (in a worshiping sense) Baal (God's biggest biblical rival). By giving Gideon these 2 names, his faith in God is called into question. He is caught in an internal crisis of faith, even as he leads God's army into battle. This has always been interesting and a little bit problematic for me: how can you lead people into a violent battle without being sure of your cause or yourself? Doubt is not something you want to hear about in reference to military leadership. And at the same time, I wonder why both names are included, considering the audience for whom the story is written. Why does the author want this to be a part of Gideon's character? I like to think that the Torah is telling us that sometimes what seem to be flaws are actually the source of our power. Maybe Gideon couldn't have been the warrior-hero that he was without his secret struggles to drive him. I like to think that he is a character not unlike Jacob, who is told that his divine name is Israel, or 'he who struggles with God.' To me, it seems that when the angel gives Israel his name, he is telling him, "your internal struggle is not something that you need to get past. On the contrary, it is what makes you great.
gideon, love your writing! what i said to moshe gershon about god's unpronounceable name as a riddle was a distillation of the part of borges's The Garden of Forking Paths (which i know you've read?) where the cinologist says: in a riddle whose answer is time, what is the only word that cannot appear? time. ,, the riddle in the story is a gigantic unreadable novel. maybe the Haggadah is a riddle, too, and maybe god is a riddle himself. i miss rabbi segal! will write back soon to your post.

Soft Star Vegan Moc3 Review
When I was younger and more idealistic, I experimented a bit with vegetarianism. I'll save you a long backstory by just saying that ultimately the experiment failed.
Perhaps my biggest obstacle was that no matter how many "meat substitute" foods I tried, nothing hit the spot quite like a good old fashioned burger. I suppose the lesson could be made that if you want to replace an ingrained habit, you had better do it with something that looks and feels like the real thing.
A similar argument could be made for veganism, which until recently I had associated much more with diet than with footwear. Some of my increased awareness came courtesy of a training partner of mine who has developed a passion for animal activism – and when he recently asked me about what kind of vegan footwear I'd recommend, I knew this was an angle I should probably look into.
|Soft Star Vegan Moc3
Coincidentally, Soft Star had been looking into the same issue recently, and earlier this year released the Vegan Moc3, which I've been testing for the past couple of months. It's an interesting move from a company who trades almost exclusively in leather products, and presents a notable corollary to the premise I mentioned above. In this case, if you want to offer a realistic vegan alternative to a well-established product, you better do it with something that's comparable from a quality standpoint.
In that regard, the Vegan Moc3 is a resounding success: it's a 100% vegan version of one of Soft Star's most uniquely dynamic shoes, and doesn't sacrifice any of the comfort or performance features of the original.
|Vegan on L, leather on R
For more detailed background on its predecessor, you can check out my original Moc3 review. A synopsis would read like this: the Moc3 is a super lightweight form-fitting sock / moccasin hybrid that fits like a glove and has the best ground feel of practically any minimalist shoe I've tested. It's ideal for anything from casual activity to running on roads or groomed trails, with extreme flexibility to let your foot function absolutely naturally.
In design and function, the vegan version is exactly the same thing. My preference is to wear them for general outdoor use or for road running, but on technical trails I like the increased protection of my RunAmocs.
The slip-on design makes it ideal for stashing somewhere handy if you're going primarily barefoot but might need to throw something on your feet every now and then. I keep a pair in my car in case I need to stop at the local market - or in case I want to grab a quick pic at a scenic overlook somewhere in Yosemite - and they'd be great for barefoot hikers to tuck in a pack in case they encounter rougher than expected trail conditions.
Both the vegan and regular Moc3 are constructed of a 4-way stretch material called Breathe-o-prene, an odor-resistant fabric that pulls moisture away from the skin to help keep your foot dry. The difference is that instead of a ventilated leather outer layer, the Breathe-o-prene is layered twice on the vegan model.
Another material difference is present on the interior: for the regular Moc3, Soft Star uses a thin leather insole, but on the vegan version it's a soft synthetic fabric. Both versions are equally comfortable for wearing sockless, with minimal irritation from seams or any points of surface pressure.
Otherwise, the two models are exactly the same: they are low cut around the ankle to maximize comfort and range of motion …
… and have an extremely thin 2mm Vibram rubber outsole welded onto a flexible bottom fabric.
Because it's a virtual equivalent of the original, the vegan Moc3 has the same potential drawbacks: the Breathe-o-prene is prone to running a bit warm, and there's no adjusting the fit if you happen to be between natural sizes. The only subtle performance difference I would anticipate is that without a leather outer layer, you give up a bit of upper durability with the vegan version – but unless you're doing some extreme bushwhacking or similar off-trail excursions, this shouldn't be a major deterrent.
More importantly, the vegan Moc3 wasn't intended to be an upgrade – it was meant to provide an attractive option for vegan consumers to shop with a clear conscience, and without compromising anything in terms of quality. When there's no dropoff in value or utility, the decision to choose an alternative product becomes quite easy. What's even better news for vegan fans is that in this case, exercising your morals doesn't come with a higher price tag.
The Vegan Moc3 retails for $94 from the Soft Star website, which is the exact same price as the Original Moc3.

"We custom-brand this for salons," notes SuperSalon's Matt Rogers, adding that the check-in system offers the salon flexibility in determining, for example, whether someone who's late goes to the bottom of the line or is taken at the discretion of the stylist. Self-check-in kiosks are included, and Rogers says the company is working on outdoor signage listing current wait time.
Independent contractors and salons looking for a 24/7, real-time, comprehensive online booking system are discovering Schedulicity. Gaining popularity both for its affordability—a monthly fee of $19 for a single user or $39 for multiple users—and for its effectiveness, Schedulicity is now reaching more than 2 million consumers. L'Oréal Professionnel just arranged to make the system available to 650 of its top salons in a first phase of a program rolling out throughout the year.
"This enables L'Oréal to help salons establish relationships," says Diana Vincent-Galvan, Schedulicity's vice-president of communications. "Clients can book appointments directly from the salon's website, the salon's Facebook page or Schedulicity's directory on the portal site."
It's convenient for stylists as well, who can monitor their books from a phone app. CEO Jerry Nettuno says it takes just 15 minutes for stylists to sign up and has virtually no learning curve. The program includes a marketing module that lets the stylists choose from hundreds of templates to quickly create a promotional special and have it sent out to the client's Facebook page, Twitter account, e-mail or phone, depending on how the client opts to be notified.
Tracking salons using the technology, Schedulicity has found that cancellations are down and the "no-show" problem is nearly eliminated. "When people are able to choose the time they want, they're more likely to show up," says Vincent-Galvan.
"We've always felt the salon experience starts when the client is making that appointment," adds Nettuno. "When you allow people to do that on their own time, from wherever they want, that starts them on a good experience. More than half of Schedulicity's four million appointments are being booked after regular work hours.That's important data. Think of all the appointments you're missing!"
While Nettuno isn't surprised at figures showing an increase in new business for the salons, he wasn't expecting some of the other benefits. "Existing clients are booking more often, trying new services and purchasing more products," reports Nettuno.
