With so many marketing channels available to spread your company's message, and so much competition, your business needs something to help it stand out from the crowd. One strategy you can adopt is to develop promotional products.
What are Promotional Products?
Promotional products have a rich history in America, dating back to 1789, when a commemorative button was created for George Washington's campaign in the presidential election. Since that first button, the promotional products business has grown into a booming industry with an annual revenue of over $20 billion.
Why are so many businesses jumping on the promotional products train? Because it's effective. Including promotional products in your marketing strategy can increase overall marketing success by up to 44 percent.
Promotional products are essentially another form of advertising. This category consists of any item featuring your company's name, logo, or slogan. You probably have many of these kinds of products around your home or office. Think t-shirts from events, a branded stress ball, and numerous pens from all the businesses you frequent.
Why Should You Use Promotional Products?
Giving promotional products to your existing or potential customers is a great way to increase brand awareness, grow sales, and improve your return on investment. According to SAGE, one of the top promotional product companies in the U.S., using promotional products creates a more favorable impression of your company over 50 percent of the time. In one case, 55 percent of people did business with a company before receiving a promotional product, while 85 percent chose to work with the company after receiving the product.
Plus, 8 out of 10 consumers own at least one promotional item, and 89 percent of consumers can remember the advertiser of a promotional product they've received in the last two years. Often giving something for free to a consumer creates a sense of obligation. They'll be more inclined to return the favor and do business with your company. It's all about brand awareness, getting your name out there so more consumers know who you are and what you do.
What Kinds of Products?
One of the most important factors in the development of promotional products is how useful they are to the consumer. SAGE reported that 77 percent of consumers cite usefulness as the top reason for keeping a promotional item.
Keeping the item also means keeping your brand close to the consumer. It's important to consider who your audience is and how they will be using the products you give them. You can use environmental targeting, giving out items to be used in situations where your company's services would also be called upon. That way, your logo will be right in front of a consumer when they're looking to make a purchase. Think mouse pads if you're a tech company, water bottles if you're in the fitness industry, or dog bandannas for a pet store. If you have the resources and opportunities, you can develop a few different products. That way, the consumer can choose what is useful to them. They'll be more likely to use the item and more likely to remember your brand.
When developing these products, time is an important factor. In general, you want products that can be used repeatedly over a long period of time. If a consumer can use up your promotional product in a short amount of time, it won't have the impact or sales potential of a more lasting product. The longer your promotional product is around, the greater the chance of increasing brand awareness for a wider audience.
Branded Apparel
A great way to start marketing your promotional products is to have your employees use them. Some of the most popular branded products on the market right now are branded apparel items. Clothing featuring your brand can be made to sell or give away at events. Or it can be worn by your employees.
Branded apparel helps to build an image of your company that fosters positivity for both employees and consumers. Having employees wear branded apparel nurtures brand identity and creates a sense of unity among your work team. Unity promotes communication and a stronger connection and dedication to the company mission. This sense of team spirit can increase productivity and grow revenue. And it's another chance to spread awareness of your company as consumers interact with your employees.
Consumers tend to associate branded apparel with professionalism. In the consumer mindset, these are companies that can be trusted, produce high-quality work, and are authorities in their fields. Designing and creating a high-quality apparel product can go a long way toward creating a favorable and memorable public opinion of your business.

Currently having problems with (very) imbalanced classes in a dataset that I am trying to run binary classification on. Looking at this UC Berkeley article (http://statistics.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/tech-reports/666.pdf), I would like to try using a "Balanced Random Forest" (using
h2o flow UI). From the paper:
Random forest inspired us to ensemble trees induced from balanced down-sampled data. The Balanced Random Forest (BRF) algorithm is shown below:
- For each iteration in random forest, draw a bootstrap sample from the minority class. Randomly draw the same number of cases, with replacement, from the majority class.
- Induce a classification tree from the data to maximum size, without pruning. The tree is induced with the CART algorithm, with the following modification: At each node, instead of searching through all variables for the optimal split, only search through a set of mtry randomly selected variables.
- Repeat the two steps above for the number of times desired. Aggregate the predictions of the ensemble and make the final prediction
My question is whether there is a way to implement such a model using the hyperparameters of the existing DRF model in
h2o (http://docs.h2o.ai/h2o/latest-stable/h2o-docs/data-science/drf.html).
My thought is that setting the hyperparameters of the
h2o DRF model as:
balance_classes = False
fold_assignment = stratified (though I wish there were some "unbalanced classes" option)
stopping_rounds = 0 (to force max size (I don't think h2o DRFs have pruning options))
mtries = -1 (the article did not seem to recommend any ideal "mtry" size)
sample_rate_per_class = 0.5, 0.5
binomial_double_trees = True (just because, I don't really think it affects the BRF alg.)
would be the thing to do. For many of the other hyperparameters, I'd probably just use whatever
h2o flow UI recommends as the default values.
Does this look like it would work at approximating the BRF alg. described? Should I add (or remove) any other specific hyperparameter settings? Advice would be appreciated.
** Note: I have seen the other post on SO with similar questions (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45618685/balanced-random-forest-in-r, Implementing Balanced Random Forest (BRF) in R using RandomForests), but I believe this is different as it is not a package recommendation question, but rather asking about implementation in a specific framework.

Renewables in jeopardy
A cap on returns from energy investment is making Scottish Power's owner Iberdrola reluctant to invest in the UK energy infrastructure.
According to the company's chairman and chief executive Ignacio Galan, he wants to invest in new energy transmission equipment but a cap on returns means the company is unable to raise the money it needs.
"I don't know if British banks will provide the money to make the investment," he said.
He has compared the situation in the UK with that in the US, which will see Iberdrola receive state subsidies to start the construction of a more efficient and cost effective smart grid.
"The normal rate of investment is ten per cent to 11 per cent. The authorities have increased the rate of return to 12.9 per cent. This means we can raise money for doing those things," Mr Galan claimed.
Meanwhile, Iberdrola has said that the Scottish parliament's ban on new nuclear power plants does not affect the firm, which has nuclear interests in a variety of countries.

Recently I realized not everyone has the time to workout. Working a 9-5 job makes working out somewhat more challenging because not only does the 9-5 the prime time of the day, but some people commute to work taking up even more time. So below are some ways I would fit in fitness on a work day.
Different Train stop. Daily walking is a good thing. Some people have desk jobs where all they do is sit all day. I found out one day Papa bun gets off one or two train stops before or after his actual stop so he can walk 15-20 mins more. Walking daily boosts the heart rate up and keeps the body in shape.
Lunch workouts. I have done lunch workouts and they are not easy. It's really not enough time to workout in the gym and then shower, but we all have to do what we have to do. My colleague also does daily lunch break walks where he walks with another colleague for a half hour. We have to squeeze in fitness whenever we can.
Wake up early. This will be my method for the upcoming Fall. I will wake up early to workout so it doesn't take any of my prime time later on. I haven't tried it yet, but will keep you posted.
Use the stairs. This might be a hard one depending where you work or live, but if the staircase is accessible, maybe not taking the elevator can be a workout. I used to live on the 21st floor and had walked it up once. That's a workout.
Workout After Work. This is a no brainer and of course it would be great if you can. Like I said before, whenever you can squeeze it in. Some people find it stress relieving to workout after work. I'm more of a morning person, so it doesn't quite work out for me.
I hope some of these ways can help you work in some extra fitness into your life. How do you fit in a work out? Let me know in the comments below.
Until next time, Happy Working Out!

Begin your Slovenian adventure in laid-back Ljubljana, before heading north to the exquisite Lake Bled and west to the snowcapped Julian Alps. Next, visit the country's western winelands for intimate cellar-door tastings, before heading to Piran on the Adriatic coast for Riviera glamour beside glittering seas
Kick back in Ljubljana, one of Europe's greenest and most liveable cities:
CLOSE to a hiking trail, a brown bear has been spotted ambling through woodland with her two young cubs. A passing rambler raised the alarm and half-hourly news bulletins now warn walkers to stay alert. But we're not deep in a national park, nor in a rural wilderness. This is Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia – which, with its backdrop of mountains, feels less like a city than an Alpine town.
In the centre, pastel-painted houses and Baroque architecture jostle for space around a narrow river. Weeping willows graze its surface, and young couples loll back on their elbows on the stepped riverbanks, enjoying the sun's waning glow. Upstream, cafés and bars flank the canal's walls. The salmon-hued Franciscan church glows rose-gold behind them. A group of paddleboarders drifts idly under the balustraded Triple Bridge, while a woman peers down at them from above, fussing the head of a dachshund scooped in the crook of her arm. There's not a hint of motor-traffic hum; only the whisper of willow branches.
Nearby at riverside coffee shop and bar Tozd, a scattering of customers has taken up a lazy residence on tan leather banquettes. Hanging high up on a brick wall are two skateboards and, directly above a customer's head, a fixed-gear bicycle. Named for the now-defunct Basic Association of Organised Labour, Tozd's cooperative philosophy is as much a reminder of Slovenia's recent Yugoslav history as it is of the liberal attitude of its people today. The wheeled wall hangings aren't just there to look pretty: they showcase the work of local makers, alongside the photographic prints and jewellery on display elsewhere in the café.
"Slovenians are naturally shy, but this place has such energy: people come here to make friends," says Tozd barista, Anya Rosyar. Behind her, a huddle of students are playing a card game over cups of the café's cold-brewed coffee. "It's important to feel a sense of community in a city."
Fostering a sense of common good is, it seems, something of a policy in Ljubljana. A couple of streets away, the windows to the mayor's office are permanently open in summer, reportedly so that he can hear first-hand how the city is feeling. In recent years, his office has dedicated its efforts to transforming Ljubljana into one of the greenest and most sustainable capitals of Europe. Its centre is pedestrianised, dozens of drinking fountains are scattered through the city to dispense water during summer months, and electric buggy-cars scoot about, ferrying locals and visitors around town for free. Even the culinary scene toes the line, its carbon footprint minimised by a focus on fresh, local, homemade ingredients. Take, for example, Gostilna na gradu, whose tasting menu, dubbed "a walk across Slovenia", flaunts the best of the country's local ingredients. Generous, bulbous courgette flowers are served stuffed with Slovenian Istrian truffles and creamy ricotta, followed by tender cubes of venison, paired with a spicy Teran red wine made some 80 kilometres away.
The food is superb and the location is quite something too. The restaurant, with its crisp white table linen and smart parasols, stands in the courtyard of Ljubljana's medieval hilltop castle. It's a fine setting for a languorous afternoon, enclosed in centuries-old stone walls under a beating sun. Across the wide, open quadrangle, the ramparts offer a lookout from which to admire the full span of the city, edged by green to all aspects and backed by hills in which, somewhere, a mother bear is roaming through the trees with her cubs.
The raft bumps and floats downriver quite amiably, past black cormorants drying their wings on the banks. Patches of turbulence shudder the boat like motorway rumble strips. The rapids might be tame today, but the conditions mean it's safe to make an unplanned stop-off. Erik navigates towards a large boulder and ushers the group to clamber up onto it. Without explanation, he flips the raft and drags it against the side of the rock, grinning at the perplexed expressions around him. Finally, he leaps onto the raft's underside and bounces headfirst into the water below. Comprehension dawns on the rafters' faces: it's a trampoline. For 20 minutes, each takes turns ricocheting into the freezing river, shrieks and yelps echoing into the valley, before pulling themselves up onto the boulder to take another turn.
Back in the raft, a bumpy, narrow stretch of river towards the end of the run promises to raise the tempo. The craft picks up speed, crashing downriver between the rocks like a pinball. It's a tangle of paddles and limbs, and Erik is bellowing instructions from the back to navigate between obstacles. Inevitably, the raft catches one on its flank and spins unexpectedly, leaving half the rafters sprawling in the bottom.
"Rafting isn't my forever job," says Erik, as he peels off his wetsuit on a riverbank after the trip. "But how can I convince myself to leave this? Every year, I think this will be the last, but still I'm here." He shrugs. "Many people want a picture of my office in their office."
Explore soaring Alpine peaks, lakes, gorges and emerald rivers in northwest Slovenia :
IF Ljubljana is Slovenia's progressive poster boy, Lake Bled is her darling starlet. Forty-nine kilometres northwest of the capital, its 17th-century church springs skyward from an island perch in the middle of the lake, its reflection casting symmetrical roots towards the shore. Above it, atop a steep cliff, a medieval castle surveys the tranquil waters; they're stirred only by lonely swans, paddlers and wooden boats ferrying visitors across them. Sightseers have flocked to the lake for over a century and a half. Most come simply to gaze on it during a scenic stroll around the lakeside path or, for a higher and more exclusive vantage point, from a hillside on Bled's south bank after a steep clamber.
Twenty-four kilometres to the west lies Bled's sister lake, Bohinj. It might not have a bijou tower-topped island, but it makes up for that in bucolic loveliness and in the many trails surrounding it, which attract hikers, cyclists and horse-riders around the year. They're in good company: it was on this lakeside that Agatha Christie reportedly holidayed. "They asked her if she'd set a crime novel here," says Grega Šilc, owner and guide at activity tour company Hike & Bike, gesturing sweepingly to the mountain panorama with one arm as he leads a walk around the lake. "But she said, 'No – Bohinj is too beautiful for murder to be committed here'."
The Bohinj slopes are mere foothills, precursors to the Karavanke and Julian Alps that tower over this region to the north and west. In summer months, they form a multi-level, cross-terrain outdoor play park. Via ferrata rungs take scramblers to craggy summits; in gullies, canyoneers splash into Alpine waters. High above them all, paragliders leap from mountainsides and drift noiselessly away.
At ground level, the road from Kranjska Gora, Slovenia's highest town, climbs unrelentingly towards a panoramic mountain pass, where dandelions grow from cracks in limestone rocks and the smell of pine needles catches on the breeze. On the other side of the pass lies the Soča Valley. The water of its eponymous river appears a startling shade of turquoise, a happy side-effect of the area's limestone terrain. Its waterfalls and rocky gorges, canyons and pools provide perfect conditions for adventure watersports.
There hasn't been much rainfall recently, so the waters are unusually low. White-water rafting down the river will be an altogether more civilised experience than usual, instructor Erik Sturm tells his wetsuit-clad pack of rafters, as they carry their boat to the launch point and set off onto the jade water. Erik has been guiding rafts down this stretch for eight years and knows the topography of the river as well as anyone.

Brookdale Hosts 12th Annual NJWGSC Colloquium
Brookdale welcomed dozens of students, faculty and community members from over 10 different colleges and universities across New Jersey on April 1 for the 12th annual New Jersey Women's and Gender Studies Consortium (NJWGSC) Undergraduate Colloquium.
The conference – which opened with a keynote address by Brookdale President Dr. Maureen Murphy – featured engaging presentations by 26 students from colleges and universities across the state, including Brookdale's own Bailey Falco, Vincent Pino, and Melissa Hanson.
Falco, who presented her research paper "A Stagnant Silence," was also honored with the conference's Emerging Scholar Award.
"At the conference I was able to listen to the work of others, but also present my own, which is something I had always been afraid of doing but wanted to do," said Falco. "I voiced and shared my ideas with confidence. I've never won anything before, and winning an award for something I put so much effort and passion into felt incredible."
Brookdale has been affiliated with NJWGSC for nearly 10 years, helping drive the consortium's mission to expand and strengthen women's and gender studies programs throughout the Garden State.
English Professor Roseanne Alvarez, who serves as an NJWGSC executive board member alongside assistant English Professor Margaret Natter, said the relationship is an important one for Brookdale students, allowing them exposure and opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.
"We see it as a priority to keep community colleges and our students in the conversation at the state level," said Alvarez, who also serves as Women's and Gender Studies Coordinator at Brookdale. "Creating state-wide initiatives and opportunities for our students to network and present their scholarship is what drives our work, and we're incredibly proud of their efforts and success."
That success has been noteworthy: in 2012, Brookdale alumnus Ryan Arnold won the NJWGSC conference's Honorable Mention award for his presentation; in 2014, graduate Amy Lee was recognized as an Emerging Scholar; and in 2015, alumna Karen Berger took the conference's top prize for her paper submission.
"These students are presenting alongside juniors and seniors from institutions across New Jersey," said Alvarez. "We know how incredible our students are, but we're always happy when they get to shine and showcase their work to a broader audience."
NJWGSC is a state-wide networking organization to initiate forum discussion and support to all aspects of the Women and Gender Studies Programs.

Amending the statutory right to transfer – handle with care
It would be fair to say that a question regarding the merits or otherwise of the upcoming General Election would elicit a broad range of responses, including several that might be unprintable!
From a pensions perspective, the election means that the Pension Schemes Bill won't be enacted during the current Parliament and we'll have to wait and see what form it takes if and when it is reintroduced.
Analysis of the Bill has focused on potentially valuable developments relating to a framework for collective defined contribution schemes, regulations covering pension dashboards and new powers for The Pensions Regulator.
Less attention had been focused on the efforts to limit the statutory right to transfer pension benefits to prevent sham transfers. This lack of attention is perhaps a little surprising given the amount of regulatory and press attention in recent years on improving transfer times and bringing down transfer costs.
Tucked away in the supporting documentation to the Bill is confirmation that the DWP envisages members will be required to provide payslips and bank statements over a three-month period in order to hold a statutory right to transfer.
Having spent the last few years trying to prevent some scheme members from transferring to sham pension arrangements, I think the introduction of requirements like this, on a proportionate basis and in the right circumstances, is absolutely the right thing to do. A proportionate introduction of these measures will allow providers and trustees to ask for this evidence, where genuine suspicions exist, and refuse to allow the transfer where an employment link can't be proven.
However, problems will occur if the requirements aren't introduced in a proportionate fashion.
At least one summary of the Pension Schemes Bill has interpreted the impact as being that "trustees will not be able to transfer benefits to another scheme where [the] new conditions are not satisfied".
Clearly that's the intent of the new rules, but it's even clearer that exemptions from the requirements must be provided. These exemptions will need to be very carefully drawn to balance the need to prevent scammers from exploiting loopholes, while also ensuring that providers are not effectively forced to block legitimate transfers because the employment link can't be established.
At the most basic level, the fact that the draft legislation covers transfers to personal pension schemes and that individuals don't have to be employed to open personal pension schemes creates obvious issues. If I'm a student, unemployed, taking a career break, or retired and want to transfer to a new personal pension to reduce charges or increase investment choice, will the compliance department of my current pension provider allow me to transfer if I can't establish my employment link? At some risk-averse firms, the answer is likely to be no.
It will be interesting to see how the DWP handles this issue in secondary legislation. Careful drafting of the rules is going to be required.
Any attempt to restrict the statutory right to transfer, if handled poorly or interpreted by providers in an overly risk-averse fashion, could potentially see parts of the transfer market grind to a halt.

Under $2.25 per serving. The addition of tortilla chips gives this chicken chili a traditional cornmeal flavor that is almost like eating a chicken enchilada. It's not only easy to make but it's ready in less than 30 minutes!

We would like to take a moment and say thank you to our readers for their support in 2015. We started Tale of 2 Halfs as a fun outlet – a place for us to ramble, vent, debate and enlighten. We are grateful for our engaging readers and glad you come back week after week.
Our family ended the year with a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The drive home never gets shorter and often gets tougher on us as the parents. We're not able to stay awake as long as we used to! Both children did very well traveling given the circumstances with only the youngest giving us any grieve when she was hungry.
We made it home a little after 2 a.m. on Christmas Eve and got very little sleep as the kids were up early. Over the next few days we split our time between families to ensure everyone got to see us over the holidays. The kids loved getting to open presents all day long on Christmas and had to have each item removed from the packaging as soon as possible.
While we were home we celebrated each child's birthday with family, friends, presents and of course cake.
We didn't get any workouts in until after Christmas, nor did we workout as much as we would have liked given the holiday and birthday goodies. We used many excuses, some actually valid, to justify missing our workouts. Here is what we managed to do:
12/26 – 3.90 miles @ 7:42 pace
12/28 – 5.00 miles @ 7:16 pace
12/30 – 3.60 miles @ 8:16 pace
Yearly Mileage Total: 1,303.35
01/02 – 6.20 miles @ 8:00 pace
12/26 – 2 miles & 21-Day Fix Dirty Thirty
12/28 – 3 miles
12/29 – 3.50 miles
12/30 – 3 miles with 21-Day Fix Plyo & Abs
Yearly Mileage Total: 324.95
01/03 – 2 miles
As you can see, not much in terms of hard or difficult workouts. It was a shocker to both Jen and I when we totaled our yearly mileage the vast difference between us. It definitely shows just how much she compromised last year and why she's going for a big goal this year.
We have begun our #RuntheYear challenge and although we are off to a slow start, we will be back on pace soon. To make things easier on us both this year, we are anxiously awaiting our new Proform Premier 900 treadmill. This should alleviate issues with the winter weather and shorter days and allow us to both get our runs in, if only on the hamster wheel!
What is a specific fitness challenge you have for 2016?

Crossing the Narooma bar
Cannon85 replied to Benzeenees's topic in Fishing ChatI have only crossed a a few times the first time in a 5.2 Center console with a 90hp on the back goind out is the easy bit IMO it's the coming back in when your a bit tired and sore from fighting the kings all day. but it was a bit scary the first time as we were towards the end of the run out tide and a bit of a swell running i felt like i needed more power because when we got to where the waves were starting to turn into wash i didnt have enough throttle to over power the outgoing tide and swell. but with a bit of trim adjustment and crossed fingers we made it in ok. the 2nd time in my new rig 6.2 hard top barcrusher with 175hp it was a nice calm day and just scooted over the bar as the coditions were really good that day high tide low wind hardly any swell and a very un eventfull crossing the other couple of times have been somewhere inbetween both of these situations and not a real problem for the new rig. but yeah the first time was fine going out and scary coming back in as the boat i was driving i feel needed more power for the crossing and the conditions wernt ideal but by no means as bad as they can get down there. hope this helps cannon
Battery charging?Hi all i have a quick question for some sparky orientated people. i have a 3 battery system on my boat #1 & #2 run the main electronics stuff like lighting radios fish finder and starting these are on the standard isolator switch set up I.E. 1 or 2 or 1+2 or off. #3 is dedicated fridge battery wired up to a 12v outlet all 3 charge off the donk (175hp Etek) while running and #1 & #2 have a solar set up to trickle feed while at anchor or on the drift. now for the question is there a battery charging regulator fit for marine purpose that will allow the solar pannels to trickle feed all 3 batteries? i was told by the dealer that these did not exist but find that hard to believe as i think i have seen them for 4wd before. so to sum up is it possible to have a regulator to charge 3 batterys as required via the 2 different inputs (Donk + Solar) i do have a ctek charger to top up the mains and aux at home but am worried the fridge battery will die on a prolonged trip at anchor long winded but i hope i have worded my question correctly cheers
Lights on boat to attract squidYeah i got 3 x blue hella underwater lights on the back of my barcrusher they work well for attracting yakkas and squid at night dont really need to burley as much but it speeds up the process if you do
Broken bay Wide
Cannon85 posted a topic in Gamefishing GrapevineWent out on my first mission today. left the ramp about 0600 stopped in at west head for some livies saw plenty but got none in the tank. so up anchor and out we go, motored out to about 150m then set the spread of 2 x SBL's and teaser. headed out to about 500m mark it was about 1100 by now and we got a hit but it was over before it even began continued trolling around till about 1500 before we headed back for the ramp. found some nice blue water varied from 24.3 up to 25.8c. my theory for the missed hook up was probably my fault for backing off the throttle to quicly with the excitment of the reel screaming it's brains out. which brings me to a question What to do when you do get a hit besides not freak out? i think what im asking is the what is the "procedure" for a hook up i think i saw the flash of a marlin when the strike occured but cant be to sure as the anticipation and excitment meters went into overload cheers guys had a good day either way and was extreemly happy to even get a hit on my first run out wide only got me more excited for another run

Alex Ferguson believes AC Milan are a different proposition since the departure of Kaka and is in buoyant mood as his Manchester United side prepare to travel to the San Siro.
Kaka moved to Real Madrid last summer, joining former United forward Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
United lost 3-0 in their last contest with the Rossoneri at the San Siro as Kaka inspired the hosts to a semi-final win in 2007 and Ferguson is happy not to be facing the Brazil playmaker.
"It's a good time for us to be going to Milan," said Ferguson
"They played this weekend (beating Udinese 3-2 on Friday night), they've lost Kaka and have a few injuries, whereas we aren't playing this weekend and we have had a good rest."
Tactically, Leonardo's side have been forced to adapt since Kaka's move to Spain, according to Ferguson.
He added: "They have changed since they lost Kaka.
"They used Kaka at the head of a diamond and two front players but they have changed that and gone 4-3-3 with two wide players and three centre-midfield players.
"You have to recognise they are not short of skill and experience.
"Ronaldinho, Pato all these players, but equally we have players who can win the match too.
"After the experience in the San Siro three years ago, where they dominated the game, I know that won't happen again."
Pato is outlined by Ferguson as the biggest threat to United in the first-leg contest, which may see David Beckham face his former club.
"It's Pato they are desperate to get back in," added Ferguson.
"If he's not back they'll play David wide right.
"We know all about David, he's a great crosser of the ball so we will have to be alive to that."
Ferguson, whose side have won four of their last five games, scoring 16 goals, is confident United can cope in the absence of Ryan Giggs, who suffered a broken arm against Aston Villa last Wednesday.
"My players are used to big occasions and I think the good thing for us now is that we have hit form at just the right time," said the United boss.
"We will miss Giggsy, but we have players in great form and working really well.
"The improvement you see in players like (Wayne) Rooney, Nani and (Antonio) Valencia, who has done a great job for us since coming here, is fantastic and we have (Darren) Fletcher and (Michael) Carrick playing out of their skins.
"(Paul) Scholes is playing well too. I have players who are playing well at the right time."

|This article is about Lillia, a character from Friends of Mineral Town. You may be looking for Lillia from her other appearances throughout the series.
Lillia is a character in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
Lilia is the mother of Popuri and Rick, and works at the Poultry Farm with her family. Her husband Rod left Mineral Town many years ago in search of a cure for her illness, as she's always been a frail and sickly.
Because of her health, Lillia will rarely ever leave her home. She takes parts in a few festivals, but is at the Poultry Farm during business hours. Sasha will come and visit Lillia on Sundays.[2]
If you befriend Lillia, she will give you a recipe for Scrambled Eggs.[3]

Taking Care of Lillia
During the summer season only, enter the Poultry Farm between 11AM and 1PM. [6]
Lillia will tell you that the store isn't open for business today, as she's feeling a little bit under the weather. Popuri and Rick are nowhere to be found, until Rick returns to the house with medicine with Popuri following shortly after, also bringing back medicine! Lillia is happy that her children both care so much about her.After the event is over, the Poultry Farm will be locked until the following day.
Rod's Letter
Visit the Poultry Farm during the summer season between on any day except for Sunday or Tuesday in between 11AM and 1PM. Additionally, Popuri and Rick cannot be married, and it must be Year 3 or later. [7]Lillia was about to open a letter when you arrive. She says that it's a letter from her husband! In his letter, Rod asks how his family and the farm is doing, and talks about his travels on the search for the flower to cure Lillia. Lillia says that she's very happy to hear news from her husband.
Remembering Jeff
On a Tuesday, visit the Poultry Farm between 10AM and 1PM. [8]When you arrive, you'll see Sasha and Lillia talking about Jeff. Lillia remembers how Jeff and Sasha were as children. Sasha remembers how Jeff was so quiet and timid, and always needed her help. Sasha reminisces about Karen's birth, making her family complete.
Zack's Crush
After living in the valley for four years or more, visit the Poultry farm between 11AM and 1PM. [9]
Inside, you'll see that Zack has come to visit Lillia. She seems pleasantly surprised, as she didn't expect Zack to come all the way here just to visit her. Zack asks how she's feeling. Lillia replies that she's doing fine and thanks Zack for his concern. Zack hopes that Lillia will be cured soon, but she tells him now to get his hopes up, as she may not be cured any time soon.This makes Zack sad, and he leaves.
Customers For Kai
The event starts when your character walks into Kai's restaurant between 5-7 PM.[10] Triggering the event will cause the day to come to an end.
Kai greets you and says that he doesn't have any customers, as usual. Popuri suddenly calls and walks into the restaurant, excited, telling Kai that she brought customers for him. He's excited as he sees the first few customers come in. Popuri then says that there's more customers outside. Kai's happy that he has customers, but is worried that it's going to be too difficult to cook for them all. He asks the player to help and you agree. The scene shows you, Kai, and Popuri scrambling around the restaurant trying to serve everybody.
After all the customers have been served, your character, Kai, and Popuri are alone in his restaurant. Kai is tired after working so hard. He tells Popuri that he's grateful for the customers, but she brought too many! Popuri apologizes for overdoing it and Kai admits that he might be glad that he has such few customers. He thanks your character and you go home.

Grace likes to look at my blog. We talk about the pictures, and sometimes I tell her stories about the photos.
This evening, we were looking at the picture of the giraffe on my Broken post, and I was trying to extract some information about Grace's fall.
What happen that baby giraffe?
"I think he fell down on the porch. What do you think happened to him?"
My think he fell down on porch. No, he fell down in doorway.
"In the doorway? Did he hit his leg on the door?"
Yeah. He hit him's leg on the door.
"Do you think it hurts?"
Yeah. Him's leg hurts.
I'm not sure if Grace knew we were talking about her leg or if she thought we were talking about the giraffel's.
She looked at me, and she said,
Mommy, my didn't get my purple one!
"Your purple what, Pumpkin?"
My purple that! she said, pointing to the giraffe's green cast. The doctor no fix my leg!
I didn't know she remembered. We'd talked briefly about her getting a cast, and that it could be purple. I'd been trying to prevent her from being scared during the process of getting a cast.
It backfired.
The doctor no inspect me!
For the next few minutes, Grace told my sister and I that the doctor didn't fix her leg because he hadn't touched her leg.
I felt like an idiot. That was not information that she needed to know.
I need to be more careful of what I say and when I say it.
She's listening, and she doesn't forget.

Golf Shoe Evolution
What is a retro golf shoe? Well actually there might be more than one meaning in the golf shoe industry for the shoe I am discussing here. The term hybrid golf shoe is also used. Here I am referring to a golf shoe that might look like a casual street shoe. Some models even have a sporty running shoe look.
But the design feature I am specifically including in this retro golf shoes discussion is that they are "spikeless". What ... a golf shoe without spikes? That's right and to get a better sense for the significance of this question, let's briefly review the history of golf shoes.
In the late 1800s Scottish golfers started wearing a sturdy shoe (almost like a boot) with small hob nails protruding through the shoe soles for walking safely over the slippery grounds were golf was being played. Before the turn of the century golf shoes advanced beyond the nail-ridden golf shoe when removable metal spikes were introduced.
Metal Spiked Golf Shoes
The removable metal spike golf shoe design provided better footing and was dramatically more comfortable than early hob nailed golf shoes. But soon keepers of the golf greens started to complain about the damage the shoe, or more specifically the shoe spike, was causing to the golf greens. Walking on concrete or other hard surfaces before getting to the first tee often caused the metal spike to flare and crack accentuating digging and dragging damage to greens.
Golf shoe styles changed quite a lot over the years, but a design change in metal spiked golf shoes did not occur until the late 1990s. Increasingly the traditional metal spiked golf shoe was not welcomed on a growing list of golf courses. Driven almost exclusively by the wear and tear on golf courses, especially the greens, the golf shoe industry scurried for a solution.
Nonmetal Spiked Golf Shoes
(2) The development of plastic materials led to the introduction of nonmetal golf shoe spikes. While maintaining the spike replacement feature developed by metal spiked golf shoes, acceptance by golfers and golf instructors was a slow process. The resistance to change by golfers, especially professional golfers, was more a fear of a negative effect on their game than an actual effect.
Reduction in green damage from nonmetal spiked golf shoes was slight at best so the conflict with greens keepers persisted. It was particularly severe at golf courses in dryer climates where usually the greens were a horizontal growing Bentgrass designed for this type of climate. These greens were much more susceptible to spiked golf shoe damage. Inevitably this was a battle that was going to be won by golf courses. Clearly the concern for the maintenance and care of golf course greens was not going to go away.
Golf Shoe Design Proliferation
The popularity of golf dramatically surged during the 1980s and 1990s, driven by expanded PGA Tour media coverage and highlighted by significant increases in prize money. Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus were tremendously popular in the 1980s, but it was probably a young Tiger Woods coming on the scene in the mid 90s that gave golf the tremendous boost in popularity being experienced.
Additionally, growing babyboomer household incomes were having a dramatic effect on golf. With more disposable income, boomers were hitting the golf links in droves. Both private and public golf courses were the benefactors of this surge as was the golf equipment industry. Nowhere was this more evident than in golf shoes where the growth in golf shoe companies produced a proliferation of replaceable, non-metal spike golf shoes for men and women.
Metal spiked golf shoes were pretty much replaced with various designs of plastic materials that still included the "replacement" feature. But the truth was these plastic spiked golf shoes still had a negative effect on the greens. By the late 1990s and early 2000s greens keeping had become almost a science focused on achieving nearly flawless greens. The skill levels of professional golfers in reading greens and the growing amount of prize money in PGA tournaments was driving the continued concern for the health of golf course greens. Winning these Pro tournaments often came down to the last putt making the focus on golf green health that much more intense.
So the argument between golfers, particularly Pro golfers, saying they needed spiked shoes for swing stability and golf course greens keepers saying spiked golf shoes were making their jobs too difficult got real intense. Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, and Ernie Els were the top money winners on the PGA tour in the early to mid 2000s. At the 2005 Masters Golf Tournament Vijay was playing behind Phil, and complained several times to tournament officials that Phil's golf shoes were damaging the greens.
A public apology by Phil saying he would do everything possible to avoid this in the future seemed to open the door for what was to follow. The spikeless golf shoe started to get traction, getting a tremendous boost from the appearance of Fred Couples in the 2010 Masters Golf Tournament wearing a pair of spikeless golf shoes with no socks.
Foot Comfort Rules
Golf includes a lot of walking and there is no debate that retro golf shoes are more comfortable than the replaceable spike golf shoe. Golf shoe technology has responded by producing spikeless golf shoe designs having nearly as much traction and stability as the spiked golf shoe. With various configurations of rubber or plastic nubs on the bottom of the retro golf shoe even the Pros started to acknowledge that perceptions of instability were a little exaggerated. And this new shoe is definitely more comfortable.
Amateur golfers have been quick to make the change. No more shoe changing before going out on and coming in off the golf course. No more replacing the spikes, something that many golfers stopped doing anyway. Thanks to golf shoe technology, convenience and comfort is becoming the new trend in golf shoes.
Even the Pros are increasingly showing up on the PGA Tour wearing these spikeless retro golf shoes called hybrids. The growing list includes Graeme McDowell, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Justin Rose, Ryan Moore, Keegan Bradley and yes, even Tiger Woods. Triggered in some cases as a response to a physical ailment, there is no denying that even the Pros are seeking the increased foot comfort provided by this shoe.

Very good I need to hem them they were to long, but I knew that when I bought them.

Welcome back to the ESC Views' Pre-Contest Vote 2015! If you haven't heard about what this is and how it works, feel free to click this link to take you to the 'Launch Page.' As more of these articles are written, you'll be able to freely move between one country and the other, to see our opinions and lave thoughts of your own!
Today we are looking at Poland, who have picked an entry that couldn't be further from the butter-churning antics we saw in Copenhagen last year. Monika Kuszyńska will close the second semi with 'In The Name Of Love', a grade-A dreary number that fails to go anywhere, and is a bit of a poor entry to finish what is a cracking semi-final lineup on the whole. Monika has had so-so success in her own country as a soloist, but fared well as a member of a popular pop-rock group a few years back. Interestingly, she is paralysed from the waist down – some fans have commented on how the staging will appear because of her impairment.
Our opinions:
Rory – I am really inspired by Monika's background and her path that has led her to singing on the Eurovision. The song is quite…."nice", but if they don't experiment with the staging a little, we might not be seeing Poland on May 23rd. Score: 7 points out of 12.
Lewis – TBC. Score: 5 points out of 12.
Reece – Chronically boring, I can honestly see myself popping out the room when this one comes on. I'd be very surprised if it qualified – sorry Poland, but despite a nice female voice, it's not enough. Score: 3 points out of 12.
Lauren – TBC. Score: – points out of 12.
That's our opinions then – a total of – points for Poland from us here at ESC Views. But you may have other thoughts – vote below in the poll and let us know!
At the end of this series, we will know exactly what you think of the Polish song this year… will there be any sympathy votes? Is it too dreary or completely wonderful? Is she a Slavic girl who knows how to use her 'charming beauty'? Any other opinions – leave a comment!

I'm wondering if it is possible to control certain aspects in my function. All my it does is control how an object gets placed on my gui.
I'm wondering if there is a way to control GridBagConstraints.fill and GridBagConstraints.anchor
public void gridBagControl(Component ob, JPanel p, Insets in, int row, int w_y, int g_x, int fill) {
GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
gridBagConstraints.gridx = g_x;
gridBagConstraints.gridy = row;
gridBagConstraints.weightx = 1.0;
gridBagConstraints.weighty = w_y;
gridBagConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER; //want to add CENTER as a param
gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL; //want to add HORIZONTAL as a param
gridBagConstraints.insets = in;
Just thought I would post and see if anyone knew how to get those to work with the function. They seem to be ints which is what I tried at first however encountered some issues.
Anyways, I'm sure this will be a thread that is solved quickly. In advance, thanks for the help.

Dental Implants have become a common surgical procedure in the field of dentistry. With modern advancements in Dental technology, the Implant failure rate has been drastically reduced and has hence become very minimal. Implantologists take extra care to plan the procedure and manage the healing process to avoid potential complications. The success of the implants not only lies in the hands of the implantologists but also in the hands of the patients. Post-Surgical care plays an important role in the success of Dental Implants. Here are a few tips on how to care for your newly placed dental implants.
The post-surgical care for a Dental Implant occurs in two stages, namely Immediate Care which is the care given within 24-48 hours), and the Long Term Care.
Immediate Care after Getting Dental Implants
Swelling – Discomfort and swelling will be present for the first 24-48 hours. Applying ice packs can help relieve the swelling. Keeping your head elevated while sleeping can also help ease the swelling.
Pain – Your implantologist will prescribe you with oral painkillers based on the complexity of the surgery and your tolerance to pain. It is necessary to take these drugs after prescription.
Bleeding – Bleeding from the surgical site is in fact very normal after dental implant surgery. To stop bleeding, bite down a few damp gauze pieces for 2-5 minutes. Repeat if bleeding does not stop. In the presence of excessive bleeding, contact your implantologist immediately.
Infection – To prevent the entry of bacteria from the site of surgery and causing infection, your doctor will prescribe you with antibiotics and antiseptic mouthwash. Make sure to gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent infection from occurring.
Eating – Heavy chewing should be avoided in the first few days after the surgery. Completely avoid eating hard foods to prevent damage to the implant. Eat soft and easy to chew foods for the first few days. Avoid chewing on the side where the new dental implant was laid.
Brushing – You can brush your teeth gently around the implant area. Use a soft-bristled tooth brush. Do not use electronic or sonic toothbrushes.
Healing – Hot saltwater mouthwashes are an excellent home remedy that aids in the process of healing. Repeat this process for 1 week. Ensure that the water is not too hot. Pour the warm saltwater in your mouth and hold it over the side where the dental implants were laid newly. Hold the warm salt water until it cools. Smoking should be stopped until further advice from your dentist because smoking can delay the healing process.
Long Term Care after Getting Dental Implants
- Smoking should be completely avoided. The best advice is to quit smoking completely.
- Patients with diabetes should be on a strict diet to control to keep their blood glucose level under control.
- Oral hygiene should be maintained. Brush, floss and use mouth washes regularly.
