SKF updates SKF SEAL JET – its unique technology for prototype seals
2015 September 24, 14:00 CEST
SKF has perfected the latest version of SKF SEAL JET, its proprietary method of producing seals by machining soft materials such as rubber and polyurethane.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 24 September 2015: SKF today announced that it has developed the latest generation of SKF SEAL JET, its seal prototyping service.
The technique allows seals to be machined quickly and easily – for use as either product development prototypes or as low-volume replacement products. Seals made using SKF SEAL JET are identical in dimensions and properties to those made using mass production techniques like injection moulding.
"Customers need fully functional prototypes that can be tested under real conditions," says Thomas Schwarz, Director of Fluid System Seals Research and Development at SKF. "Seals made using SKF SEAL JET can withstand full 'in-field' testing."
SKF SEAL JET was originally developed as a way of providing replacement seals at short notice, but its speed and flexibility has made it invaluable as a prototyping tool in product development. It is typically used to prototype dynamic hydraulic seals for applications such as rod and piston seals, for industries including off-highway, cylinder manufacturing, machine tools and food.
Even today, many prototype seals are still made using prototype moulds. This process can be costly and time-consuming, as four or five mould iterations are usually needed before the seal is perfected. SKF SEAL JET is much faster, because prototype seals can quickly be machined to exact dimensions.
Several underlying technologies are fundamental to SKF SEAL JET's success. The most important is the ability to machine the soft materials used for seals, such as polyurethane and rubber. It does this through a combination of special cutting blade design, careful process control and a proprietary 'chip removal' system.
"Machining chips are highly elastic, and can damage the tools. Removing the chips is vitally important," says Schwarz.
At the same time, SKF has developed its own wide range of material grades, allowing it to produce seals with a broad range of properties. These must be able to deliver important characteristics of a seal, such as surface roughness.
The process is typically used to make seals up to 600mm outside diameter, but it can make very small and very large products – with the largest up to 4 000mm in diameter, as one piece and even larger using a special welding technique. Its flexibility means that it can also produce seals in non-standard sizes.
While 3D printing techniques such as selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) have made huge advances in prototyping, they are unlikely to find their way into seal development. This is partly because the range of available materials is too narrow, but also, seal prototypes must be of equivalent quality to the finished product, capable of withstanding 'field' testing. Seals made using 3D printing techniques will not have sufficiently robust physical characteristics.

CleverJ necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 96 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
I am a real estate investor who buys mostly residential property for rental investment or resale. I am not a real estate agent! I don't want to list people's homes... I want to buy them.
I am very creative in structuring transactions that meet the needs of sellers. I sometimes buy houses cheap to fix or other times pay darn close to full price or more if the seller can provide payment terms or allow me to take over their loan... I'm not just a low-ball offer guy, that's for sure.
I would like to re-brand my business as 1800USOLDIT and http://www.1800USOLDIT.com
Been kicking around tag line ideas to add later like...
"The fastest way to sell your house guaranteed!"
"We don't list houses, we buy them"
"Don't list your house... just sell it! CALL 1.800.U.SOLD.IT"
Anyway...the first step is the logo... can you help?
My target audience is MOTIVATED sellers of real estate who need a solution that solves their problem. They tend to be any of the following:
- Frustrated landlords
- Inherited a home they don't want
- In a divorce
- Relocating for a job
- Lost income to afford their current payments
- Have a bad mortgage they can't get out of
- have a house that they can't or don't want to fix up to get sold
- etc.
These people don't want to list their house with a real estate agent and wait & hope it may sell, they need it SOLD! They are willing to be flexible and are looking for a solution that they have confidence in, is FAST, hassle free and will relieve them of their problem. Many clients hug me at closing for helping them put an end to an undesirable situation.
I would like a broad range of design ideas, however, what I like won't matter in the least bit... it's what will catch my customer's eyes and make them "take action" and call! So I plan once your designs are all in to have other people (less biased than me) vote on the split-second, knee-jerk reaction, eye catcher that conveys the message.
That said, there are a few things I think are necessary...The logo has to unmistakably refer to and tie in with real estate. I also think it may need to accentuate the "U" in some way so it doesn't get confused with "YOU". (perhaps the familiar U-HAUL brand helps me with that and they didn't seem to care). Quite possibly the separation of the letters is enough? 800.U.SOLD.IT
I had a thought that perhaps using the largest font on the front of US currency or similar might add that "cash" outcome reference.
Colors: Black on yellow seems to be eye-grabbing colors in our industry. "Bandit Signs" are very popular among investors. We used the house shaped one's here: http://ezsigns.net . Here's the sign on our office now at http://www.AlliedHomeBuyers.com (colors are bold and pop!) Same might work.
Some logo's and sites of other people in my business for reference.
Thanks for entering!

It's like this: I told my friend Kyle about my other friend Derek, who I've always thought was quite an amazing dude. Derek knows almost every living human language and a couple dead ones. He made a killing in investment banking after getting a Harvard MBA, but then spent his entire fortune to bring access to medical care for poor Haitians. In his spare time, he wrote the code underlying most internet applications. And he's like my friend, you know?
Anyway, Kyle refused to believe Derek existed. He thought Derek was my "imaginary friend," as he put it. Imagine my delight when Derek visited me and I got to introduce him to Kyle. Kyle admitted that he found the stories I had been telling improbable, but there Derek was in the flesh. We then sat at my laptop. Derek googled himself and proved everything I had said to be true. Kyle looked embarrassed, but I thought we would all just have a good laugh about it and go out to play a few holes of golf. But to my shock, Derek pulled a Desert Eagle from his inside suit pocket and shot Kyle in the left knee. Kyle tried to crawl away, but it was useless. Derek shot him in the right thigh. There was blood everywhere. Then Derek planted his foot on Kyle's shattered knee as Kyle screamed in agony and horror. I begged him to stop as he continued to shoot off Kyle's fingers and toes, but he turned to me with the coldest expression I had ever seen, and said, "That's what he gets for not believing in me." A neighbor, hearing the din, called the police, but it turned out Derek couldn't be arrested because of my state's "stand your ground" law. They apologized to Derek for his trouble. Then, the burly police sergeant forced Kyle to apologize to Derek for his lack of faith.
Anyway, I thought Derek was so great, and I knew he had a bit of a temper, but now I'm having doubts. I dared to question him, but he explained that Kyle made a free choice to have Derek cripple him for life. I had a hard time answering that one!

Your parable sounds so familiar too another one I read but I just can't remember where.
Well, I posted the early version of this under another name in the Religion section of Yahoo! Answers a couple days ago to see how the Yahoo!s would react. It's my reflection on the absurd role belief plays in the religious mindset. This was actually the crucial thing that made me ditch religion. Your "eternal destiny" really depends on your ability to hold a static set of beliefs in your head? Mind bogglingly ridiculous, unless you're so used to it you've never bothered to reflect. And yet billions accept this as given.
I realize this parable could also illustrate an argument for universalism, the idea that all will be saved.

I sat down with every intention of writing a fresh new post. My ADD kicked in, and I just spent the last two hours reading my own blog.
Doesn't get much more self-absorbed than that, does it?!?
It was actually incredible. I love having this virtual time capsule. A place to store my thoughts, whims, fears, insecurities, and adventures, as a wife, mother, and a woman.
Before I sat down, I was thinking that 2009 was a year of disappointment for me, because of the whole nursing school debacle.
However, after reading these old posts of mine, I realized that my rejection letter was just one day. One post. Out of hundreds of happy, funny, amazing moments this year...I was focusing on that one day. That one memory.
If nothing else, this blog reminds me that I'm lucky.
I love my life. Every single bit of it!
Thank you all so much, for the supportive, compassionate, challenging, and uplifting comments all along the way!

One down...two to go...
This Christmas goes down in the Bullock history books as the year that Avery found out about Santa!
I SWEAR that he found out by accident! At least, consciously...it was an accident. Subconsciously? Probably notsomuch!
We bought each of the kids electric Razor scooters from Santa. We put them together the week before Christmas, and charged them, while the kids were staying at Jake's mom's for the weekend.
We wanted to get rid of the evidence, and a brilliant idea was hatched that when we picked up the kids, we would leave the big scooter boxes in Jake's mom's trash...and our kids would be none-the-wiser.
Well, Avery happened to walk by the truck, and happened to peer into the tinted windows, and happened to see the three scooter boxes, and happened to even notice what color each of the scooters was...as he "happened to glance in the truck." I think he did a little more than glance. I think he was snooping, but, that's neither here, nor there!
He raced to find me and said, "Mom...Mom...MOM! Why are there three scooter boxes in the back of the truck? There's two red ones, and a pink one! What are they for?"
Caught off guard, I fumbled, "Uhhh...Ummmmm. Uh. We're throwing those away for Aunt Taylor. Don't tell the other kids, okay."
After I said it...I realized how stupid it was to lie. He would obviously awake on Christmas morn, to two red scooters and a pink one in his living room, and he would hear his parents claim that they were left by Jolly Old Saint Nick. !
When things like this have happened in the past, I have rearranged gifts with my mom, or Jake's mom, and switched up what the kids would receive from Santa...so, that the fat guy's gifts were always a surprise. Not this year. We decided to let this one run it's course. Avery is on the tail end of his Santa believing years, anyway...so, it was time.
I was positively GIDDY!
Just as we expected, in the early morning hours of Christmas Day, while Lily and Jack did happy dances around their pile of Santa loot, Avery stood aside. The reality that his parents were big fat liars was dumped on top of his head, and he stood there, covered in it. Confused. Disappointed. Not knowing how to react, he slathered on his best poker face. He smiled, laughed, and kept this revelation to himself all day long.
Later that night, while I tucked him into bed, alone with him for the first time that day, I said, "Did you have a good Christmas, Buddy?"
He looked defeated, and his disappointment was evident in his speech, when he said, "Yeah, Mom. I guess I did," as he averted his eyes away from mine.
Feeding the elephant in the room a peanut, I said, "So, did you just totally catch us this year, or what?"
Relieved to be able to vent his frustration, he came alive, and said, "UH...YEAH! I DID!"
Rhetorically, he asked, "You guys are Santa??" He said it again. This time, it was a statement. It was accusatory, "YOU GUYS ARE SANTA!!!"
Finally speaking nothing but the truth, I said, "Yup! We sure are! It's just something fun that moms and dads do for their kids on Christmas. It's fun to pretend, and it's fun to see how magical you kids think it is."
He was silent for a minute, then began firing the questions at me, in rapid succession.
"So, elves are real, but Santa's not?"
Laughing, I answered, "Nope. Elves aren't real either."
Another revelation, "Oooooooh...so, you guys just go out and buy the toys?"
"Yes, son. That's exactly what we do."
"And all those letters to Santa? Where do they go?"
I replied, "Well, we let you put them in the mailbox, and after you kids were in bed, we would get the letter out of the mailbox. I stash them in a keepsake box to save in your baby books. I have all the letters you've written through the years."
"And what about all the things on the news about Santa? And that Santa network on our satellite? What is that about?"
Again, with the truth, I said, "Yeah...us grownups just kinda work together on keeping the magic of Christmas alive for our kids. It's kind of a big ole conspiracy --"
He interrupted me, fingering big, dramatic air quotes, and said, "Oh...Oh...And "SANTA" eats those cookies we leave out for him, huh?! YOU GUYS EAT THE COOKIES, DON'T YOU?! OH.MY.GAAAWD! THIS IS CRAZY! All this time, you had me believing in Santa. All this time, you guys sneak around at night, pretending to be Santa?!"
I could see yet another revelation in his eyes, and he said, "OH MY GAAAAAWD! The other day, when I lost a tooth? Don't tell me you're the tooth fairy, too! Mom, are you the Tooth Fairy?"
"Yes. Guilty as charged. Dad and I are the Tooth Fairy, too!"
He was shocked, "So, when I put the tooth under my pillow, y'all come creeping in here, take it while I'm sleeping, and leave some money under there?!?"
I nodded.
He yelled, "That's weird!! You shouldn't sneak around in my room while I'm sleeping! That's weird!!" Then, he gasped, "WHAT ABOUT THE EASTER BUNNY?"
Not able to restrain myself from effing with him a bit, I said, "Naw...the Easter Bunny's real!"
"Oh...whew! Good! I thought...." He stopped himself short, and said, "You're just messing with me! That's mean! My whole life is a lie, and you're teasing me! Mom, that's mean!"
He began to laugh. So did I.
I explained, "We don't do it to be mean, kid. It's just something fun we do. You'll likely do it with your kids, too. I'm sorry you had to find out that way, but, I'm glad you know. Now you know that we have to work to pay for those things you guys get. They don't just magically appear! Just do me a favor...please don't tell your brother and sister. Let them find out for themselves, too, okay?"
He responded, "Mom...I would never tell Lily and Jack that Santa's not real. It would crush them if they found out, Mom. This morning, when they were so excited about what Santa brought, and I knew the truth...I cried. We can't tell them, ever, Mom! EVER!"
With that, I watched my boy grow up a bit. Actually, he grew up a lot. And, that crushed me a little!

Between a rock and a hard place...
He would've been TWELVE today!!
A sixth grader...approaching Junior High.
A pre-teen.
It's hard to believe.
On this day, I always think about what life would've been like if my boy were still here. There is that big part of me that longs to have him with me, to make me whole again.
Each time these thoughts run through my head, I'm forced to realize that, if he were still here...there are three little people in the other room, who wouldn't be here. Our lives would've been consumed with taking care of Joey's medical needs, and there likely wouldn't have been time for Avery, Lily, or Jack.
It leaves me wishing that my Joey were still here...but, at the same time, grateful for the amazing life I have, because he's not.
THAT'S some fucked up shit!

Mary Jane...
A week ago, the school sent home a consent form for us to sign, allowing Avery to participate in an anonymous drug and alchol survey.
At first, I thought they were prying for information about us.
**Guilty conscience, much??**
I was all paranoid thinking that they were going to ask questions like, "Is there NEVER / SOMETIMES / or, YOUR MOM WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD WITHOUT a box of wine in your fridge, at home?"
Or..."Does your dad kick back A COUPLE / A SIX PACK / or, / THERE ARE SO MANY EMPTYS ON THE COUNTER ON SATURDAY MORNINGS, THAT THERE IS NO COUNTER SPACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN CEREAL WHILE DAD SLEEPS IT OFF?"
I thought it would be shit like that...I was nervous.
After reading the letter a few times, we realized that its' purpose was to gather statistics on what, if any, drugs kids are exposed to, and at what ages.
We consented.
Avery came home last night, and said, "Hey...Mom and Dad. We took that questionaire about drugs and alcohol today."
In unison, we said, "You did? What kind of questions did it ask," as we glanced at one another...bracing ourselves.
He asked, "Wait, first, I have a question."
"Sure. What?"
He struggled, "What is MAWR-I-JOO-ONNA?"
**So, we're here. We're standing on the brink of that age old hypothetical question..."When your kids ask you about drugs, are you gonna tell them if you tried them?" And, for the record, yeah...I inhaled. There. I said it. But, Jake did it, too!! Yesterday, we were reading about the 'great green room...and the telephone...and the red balloon,' and today, he's asking me about 'MAWR-I-JOO-ONNA!!' Wow!!**
I said, "It's a drug."
Jake said, "You smoke it."
I looked at Jake, and my eyes said, "Dude?!?"
Aloud, I said, "Well, some people smoke it."
Jake said, "To get high."
This time, my eyes yelled, "DUDE?!?"
Avery, taking advantage of the pause, said, "What does 'high' mean?"
My eyes, to Jake, "ABORT...ABORT...ABORT...he's gonna ask us if we've ever gotten high!!"
To Avery, I said, "High means stupid. Some people think it's fun to be stupid. But, stupid's stupid. Getting high is stupid."
Avery said, "Well, I just put that I'd never heard of it...because I hadn't."
Again, in unison, Jake and I said, "GOOD!"
**Because, by god, if kids are talking about MAWR-I-JOO-ONNA in elementary school...society's screwed!**
We weren't finished.
Next, he asked, "It also asked me if I've ever used anything at home to get high. What does that mean?"
Jake replied, "Some people will sniff glue, or paint, or aerosol cans, things like that, to get high."
I finished Jake's thought with, "So, just because it's something that is around the house, doesn't make it okay to get high with it. And 'high' isn't cool."
Avery reminded me, "Yeah, and high is stupid."
And with that, the inquisition was over.
**thank god!!**
So, I think the dry run went well, and maybe we'll be better prepared for our next little convo. For, now, it is quite clear that when our kids ask if we've ever gotten high...WE'RE GONNA LIE LIKE A MUTHA!!

In the beginning of our childrens' lives, there are milestones galore. Smiling, cooing, sitting, walking, talking, etc....
For those first few years, they come in rapid succession. It always seemed like there was a new one to celebrate each week.
Some of those milestones were warm and welcomed. Like, that first true smile. The simple turning up of the corners of their little mouths, meant that there was indeed a little person in that tiny little bundle. An individual.
Some were bittersweet. Like, nursing them for the last time. I remember the last time I nursed each of my children. I remember looking into their faces, and holding their hand, while they were cradled close to me. They were content, and so was I. I remember telling myself to memorize every bit of that moment. And I did.
As my children have grown, the milestones are fewer and farther between. Riding a bike. Losing that first tooth. Starting school. There are months between these milestones...even years. These milestones mark large strides toward independence. And while I sometimes think that it would be nice if my children would stay this age forever...I look forward to their autonomy. After all, it is the ultimate goal of parenthood.
The past week, a major milestone was reached in our house. One that might go unnoticed by some, but, one I choose to celebrate. A fairly major, pivotal milestone, if you ask me.
For the first time in the history of my childrens' lives, and mine as a mother, I didn't have to clean vomit out of comforters, sheets, carpet, clothes, body parts, bathroom floors, or their hair, as a stomach virus made its' rounds among them.
Avery, the over-achiever that he is, even puked in a bucket, dumped it in the toilet, washed the bucket, washed his hands...THEN woke me up and told me he puked!
Damn, they make me proud!

I climbed back up on top of an old soap box of mine again...I couldn't help it.
I bought myself an early Christmas present the other day. I bought the New Super Mario Brothers for Wii. It's like the OLD SCHOOL Super Mario Brothers that we grew up on. I guess I should only speak for my own age...It's the OLD SCHOOL Super Mario Brothers that I grew up on!
I've been eyeballing the game since it's release.
The other night, Jack started puking, and ruined our plans for hanging out with friends. Desperate for entertainment, I broke down and bought the game and a box of wine, for a fun filled night with two of the coolest plumbers I know.
I love the game.
It contains the same old busting of bricks, collecting of coins, shooting of fireballs, jumping of the flag pole, and slaying of the dragon, that I remember fondly from the original.
However, it also showcases the endless lives, countless continues, and superfluous save flags found throughout the levels, TO WHICH, this coddled generation of prepubescent pantywaists, have grown so accustomed!!
Avery watched me struggle with a particularly hard world, then asked for a turn to conquer it.
begrudgingly happily shared my new toy.
Within minutes of the controller entering his hands, the kid found some "Luigi guide" option that I didn't know existed. He was able to watch a computerized Luigi reveal the secrets of the level, and effortlessly make it to the end. Once the "guide" completed the level, it gave Avery the option of trying it himself...or, or...OR...you guessed it...MOVING ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!
Avery looked up at me, and said, "OH SA-WEET! LOOK, MOM! I just beat the level!"
I flipped my shit.
Part of me was still frustrated from my struggle with the level, and having the computerized Luigi throw it all up in my face how simple it acutally was...but, mostly, I was pissed at this lazy, sorry excuse for a generation of kids we're raising!!
I snatched the controller out of his hand, and started the ranting and raving...
Jake interrupted me. Mocking, "Easy, Grandma, you're scaring the kids."
All the kids laughed and taunted me, with their father.
So, now...NOW? None of them are allowed to play my video game!

The other day, I told you about a conversation I'd had with Jack about Santa. He asked me if the big guy was real...I wasn't going to lie, and gave him the opportunity to figure out for himself who likely puts the presents under the tree.
He came up with midgets.
The only thing that made sense in is six year old brain, was that midgets left the presents there for him. A fat man in fur wouldn't fit...and it was ridiculous, to him, to think that Mom and Dad were responsible.
Thank goodness he's so pretty!
Well, lo and behold, tonight at the second grade Christmas program at the school...where, by the way, his sister delivered the loudest line of the night and absolutely NAILED her teddy bear performance to the effing wall...
One of the other little second graders was dressed as Santa...
Having totally forgotten about our previous conversation...seeing a Santa of short stature didn't really ring a bell, with me.
Oh, but, it sure did with Jack.
When the vertically challenged Saint Nicholas took the stage to deliver his lines, Jack whipped his head around to me, and boasted, "Do you see that? A midget Santa! I TOLD YOU!!"

Master of my domain...
Yes...I am the master of my domain!
I am also the master of this domain...
Yay, me!
While researching domain names, I ran across some information that was a bit disheartening.
I'm not the only Nikki Bullock in the world! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!
All that bullshit my parents spewed about me being special...telling me that there was no one else like me in this whole wide world...BULLSHIT!
A quick Google search, and I found out that, not only is there already a Nikki B Photography somewhere in the US, by someone named Nikki B-something, or other...there is another "Nikki Bullock" in the world. Separate and apart from me, and Nikki B-something, or other!!
This "Nikki Bullock" hoochie, is also a photographer!!
She's in Australia!
Do you know what that means?
Her accent is way hotter than mine (pronounced 'm-aah-n'...like a big ole redneck)!!
Effing bitch!

Ants marching...
My cousin has a brain tumor.
It's wrapped around his auditory nerve, and he lost his hearing in his left ear.
He's an evangelist.
He's a singer.
It sucks.
He doesn't deserve that.
They don't think it's cancer, and he's having surgery in a week.
My brother's 12 year old daughter is autistic.
His family just visited us for the holidays for the first time in...I don't even remember how long...because her behavior was too bad for them to travel with her.
He and his wife have been pushed to every emotional, psychological, and physical ledge, that a person could imagine. And some that you couldn't even fathom.
It's not fair.
He doesn't deserve that.
When Joey died, I liked to tell myself that there was some lesson to be learned. That it happened for a reason. I used to find comfort in that. Comforted by the idea of a greater good...a higher purpose...a destiny.
However, standing at this point in my life...having had a few more life experiences...I don't think that's true anymore.
I hear people say all the time..."It's God's will." Or, "God has a plan."
Applying that theory to my cousin, and my brother's life...and even my own...that would make God cruel. To cause, or allow the suffering of one person, to teach a lesson to another? WTF?
The more I think about God...the more I tend to agree that he is just a kid with an ant farm.
I actually find this thought much more comforting.

Many small business owners know keeping in touch with their contacts is an important part of their marketing plan. However, all too often, keeping in touch is a sporadic effort. Sending birthday cards or an e-mail newsletter is something that can be done "later." The problem is "later" never comes.
Small business owners need to build a marketing calendar that includes when and how each person (or group of people) is going to be contacted. The best way small business owners can keep on top of their contact efforts is to have some type of system in place. The system should be as easy and as automatic as possible.
There are many software tools you can use to organize your contacts. Microsoft Outlook and Excel are great programs. With either of these, you can merge with Microsoft Word to create phone lists, mailing labels and personalized letters. More sophisticated contact management programs you can purchase include ACT! and Goldmine.
Marketing Tools for Keeping in Touch
There are a variety of different marketing tools small business owners can use to keep in touch. Here are just a few ideas.
E-mail newsletters are a great way to communicate with a large group of people. There are a number of great on-line resources available for e-mail newsletter creation and management. Use e-mail newsletters to provide product information, announce sales, and promote special events.
Real greeting cards (the kind that come in an envelope with a stamp) are great marketing tools to use at Christmas, birthdays and other times of the year. In fact, the best time a small business owner can send a greeting card is when there is no real reason to send a card! A card sent in August will be remembered much more than one sent in December.
Savvy business owners know that phone calls, personal visits and lunches are always appreciated. The key there is to remember the marketing message when scheduling those calls or visits. Yes, having coffee with a long-term client is great. But be sure to let the client know that you have a great new product that can dramatically help him or her. Too often business owners get wrapped up in the social aspect of personal visits and forget to ask for more business!
The most important part of any system is using it regularly. If you are very busy, or have a hard time working with schedules, you are better off delegating or outsourcing. If you have an assistant, that person can print letters, write e-mails, even sign Christmas cards for you. That leaves you free to work on other areas of your business.
If you don't have any help in your office, outsourcing is the answer. There are a number of local and on-line services that help business owners with their marketing. Or, try using a virtual assistant. The marketing money you spend to outsource these routine tasks will be repaid many time over with the new business you get.
Remember — the key to a successful system is to have it automated as much as possible. The less work you have to do, the more likely it is to be done on time, and the more likely you are to get referrals!

Martin Prado hopes that Saturdays 20-hit outburst was a step in the right direction. Prado went 4 for 5 with a three-run home run and Paul Goldschmidt added a three-run shot and the Diamondbacks routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 15-5 on Saturday. The Diamondbacks won for the fourth time in five games. They entered the day 8 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West and six games behind the Cincinnati Reds for the second wild card. "I feel like this is the beginning of what we should do from now on," Prado said. "I feel like everybody contributed. Were hoping to keep having this offence all the way through the end of the season. "Being realistic, its not going to be like this every day, but I liked the way we prepared for the game then everybody had good at-bats." Prados 11th homer of the season capped a six-run third inning against All-Star Jeff Locke and put the Diamondbacks ahead 8-0. Prado has driven in 13 runs in his past 10 games. "Its just the way baseball goes," Prado said of his RBI surge. "Im on a hot streak right now. You might go a month and not get an RBI. I just want to ride the streak as long as I can." Goldschmidts 30th homer came in the ninth and tied him with Pittsburghs Pedro Alvarez for the National League lead. Alvarez hit his 30th earlier in the game. Goldschmidt and Didi Gregorius each had three of the Diamondbacks 20 hits. Gregorius, a rookie shortstop, had gone 2 for 29 in his previous eight games. "A lot of times you can tell how a guy is going to do in the game by his batting practice," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "Didi didnt really have a set pre-game routine until today. Hes finally found a routine that works and you saw the results. I think its going to make a big difference for him." Trevor Cahill (4-10) earned his first win since May 17. He went five innings and allowed four runs and seven hits. He was activated from the disabled list before the game. He had been out since July 1 with a bruised right hip. A.J. Pollock, Aaron Hill, Wil Nieves and Gerardo Parra had two hits each and Nieves had three RBIs, including a two-run double in the first inning to give Arizona an early lead. After going 0-6 with a 7.91 ERA in his previous eight starts, Cahill struck out four and walked one. "It felt like my debut all over again," Cahill said. "It was a weird feeling, like I hadnt done this before. Ill take the win, enjoy the great offensive support and then work on some things so Im better in my next start." Alvarez hit a three-run hoome run and Starling Marte added a solo shot for NL Central-leading Pittsburgh in the third inning, enabling the Pirates to cut the lead to 8-4.dddddddddddd Andrew McCutchen had three hits and Neil Walker and Jose Tabata had two each. McCutchen has had multiple hits in 10 of his past 14 games. Locke (9-4) allowed eight runs and 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings while walking three and striking out two. He is winless in his past four starts and gave up more than three runs for just the second time in his past 18 starts. "Today was a reality check for me, absolutely," Locke said. "Any start like that is a reality check. You set your standards high, you set your goals high and youre disappointed when you dont reach them. I wasnt sitting there pouting about it, though, when I came out of the game. Its just the nature of the game to occasionally have a day like this." Prados home run with two outs in the third put Arizona ahead by eight and Locke was removed after Goldschmidt followed with a single. Goldschmidts hit was the seventh in a row by the Diamondbacks in the inning, tying a club record. Gregorius doubled in the first run of the third and Cahill, who was hitting .063, followed with a two-run single. The Pirates, who have dropped six of eight, cut the deficit to 8-5 in the sixth when Russell Martin doubled and scored on Tabatas single. However, Joe Thatcher came on and struck out Walker with the bases loaded to end the threat. Thatcher has inherited four bases-loaded situations this season and has not allowed a run. Arizona added four runs in the eighth inning on pinch-hitter Jason Kubels two-run single, Nieves sacrifice fly and Gregorius RBI single. Goldschmidts homer in the ninth gave the Diamondbacks a season high in runs. "Thatchers strikeout was really big," Gibson said. "Even though the game was 15-5, it was a close game. They had a lot of pressure on us. People are going to look at score and say it was a blowout, but it was far from that. Thats a good team over there and they kept coming at us." NOTES: The series concludes Sunday with Arizona LHP Wade Miley (9-8, 3.63) facing Pittsburgh RHP Charlie Morton (4-3, 3.79). ... The Diamondbacks optioned RHP Chaz Roe to Triple-A Reno to open a roster spot for Cahill. ... Arizona C Miguel Montero, who has been on the DL with a strained lower back since July 29, began an injury rehab assignment with the rookie-level Arizona League Diamondbacks on Saturday. ... The Pirates are hopeful RHP Jason Grilli, who has been on the disabled list since July 23 with a strained right forearm, can begin throwing off a mound by next weekend. Grilli has converted 30 of 31 save opportunities. ' ' '

"At this point Steven will be out indefinitely," Yzerman said. "The medical staff in Boston, in consultation with our team physicians, has made the decision to surgically repair the injury. The procedure is expected to take place tomorrow morning. The biggest concern for me, and the rest of the Lightning, is that decisions are made in Steven's best long-term interest, and we feel this is the appropriate course of action." Stamkos was injured with 7:11 remaining in the second period of a scoreless game as the Lightning took on the Boston Bruins. Tampa Bay went on to lose the contest, 3-0.

Some of you on Flickr may've remembered my unfinished castle. Well, I eventually took that down and built something I was more pleased with..
^Above image is a link^
I've always wanted to incorporate a waterfall into a Castle MOC, and I've always liked towers. I decided to combine the two! This MOC was very enjoyable to build, and I have to credit several builders for the inspiration and techniques. The tower was based off Daniel DNL and Rocko's towers/castles. I also learned the whole tip of the roof thing from DNL. And last, but not least, I learned the basics of making a waterfall from Eggy Pop, who posted a tutorial awhile back. (Read it here)
Here's a link to the complete set on Flickr.
Enjoy, and God bless.

Louisville mayor joins gay marriage effort
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer is officially joining the fight to allow same-sex marriage.
The mayor, while in Dallas on Friday for the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting, became one of nearly 500 members of Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, a project of the national group Freedom to Marry.
"It is clear to me that discrimination of any form should not be tolerated and that committed gay and lesbian couples deserve the protections that only marriage can provide," Fischer said in a statement.
Martin Cothran, senior policy analyst with the Family Foundation of Kentucky, said people should not mistake Fischer's announcement for political courage.
"Jumping on a bandwagon is not political courage," Cothran said. He said the decision might have been courageous 10 years ago. "It's not now, at least not in the Democratic Party."
However, Metro Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh, who married her partner Laura in Maryland in September 2013, said she was extremely grateful for Fischer joining the movement, appreciated his leadership and was not surprised. Ward-Pugh said Fischer has always been clear about his support for all people being treated with fairness, dignity and respect, and his announcement is the "next step in an evolution I am grateful for."
Fischer becomes the first mayor of a large city in Kentucky to join the effort, according to Freedom to Marry.
"It really does show that people in Kentucky are evolving and opening their hearts and changing their minds, just as a majority of Americans have," said Evan Wolfson, founder and president of Freedom to Marry. "When I started this work, most Americans did not support the freedom to marry."
Cothran said Fischer is free to join the effort, but "we'd like to see mayors joining groups that support judicial integrity, which we think is the problem in this debate." He said judges are making political — not legal and fair –– decisions, and "if the current trend continues and the Supreme Court doesn't stop it, but instead jumps on the bandwagon, then it is probably going to continue."
"The courts aren't following the law," Cothran said.
Wolfson praised Fischer and others joining the project.
Other mayors involved in the effort, chaired by Kasim Reed of Atlanta, include Julián Castro of San Antonio; Annise Parker of Houston; Michael Nutter of Philadelphia; Greg Stanton of Phoenix; Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles; and Kevin Faulconer of San Diego, a Republican. Mayors from 39 states have joined the Freedom to Marry initiative.
Wolfson said that advocates, through legislation and court victories, have secured the right to marry in 19 states and that more Americans, in every region including the South, now support gay marriage.
In a Bluegrass Poll conducted in February, 55 percent of Kentuckians surveyed opposed gay marriage, but that was down from 72 percent opposing it in a 2004 version of the poll.
U.S. District Judge John Heyburn ruled earlier this year that Kentucky must recognize same-sex marriages legally performed outside the state. Attorney General Jack Conway opted not to contest the ruling, but Gov. Steve Beshear hired private attorneys to appeal the ruling.

Margarita Pizza
There is something so good about a fresh margarita pizza. Maybe the simplicity. Maybe the cheese. Probably the cheese and the fact that there is nothing competing with it for attention.
|Veggie Packed Salad
I like to serve this classic, simple margarita pizza with veggie packed salad - tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber and red onion. It makes me feel better about non existent nutritional value that the pizza provides.

text: Thursday, August 09, 2012 PPS Summaries for SNFs, IRFs Available From APTA APTA has posted summaries of recent notices from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that update the payment rate used under the prospective payment system (PPS) for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) for fiscal year 2013. The notices are effective October 1, 2012. Neither notice contains any substantive policy changes, and so there is no comment period for them. For the SNF PPS, the overall economic impact of the payment update is an estimated $670 million in increased payments to SNFs during fiscal year 2013. The market basket increase factor is 2.5%, which is reduced by a 0.7% multi-factor productivity adjustment. The result is a payment percentage update of 1.8% for the year. The SNF summary is available to APTA members on the Medicare Payment and Policies for Skilled Nursing Facilities webpage under the "APTA Summaries" heading. For the IRF PPS, the update provides a 1.9% net increase, resulting in an overall economic impact of $140 million during fiscal year 2013. The notice also includes the continued implementation of quality measures for IRF settings. The IRF summary is available to APTA members on the Medicare Payment and Policies for Hospitals webpage under the "Inpatient Rehabilitation/APTA Summaries" heading.

A large black spot has emerged in Jupiter's southern polar region, reminiscent of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision of 15 years ago. Initially discovered by Anthony Wesley of Australia utilizing a 14.5 reflector early last week, the discovery was backed up mid-week by NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Looking similar to a Galilean satellite shadow, it has all the hallmarks of an impact. Will it evolve and develop over the coming weeks and months?

Southern Maine - 8, Farmingdale State - 4
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State baseball team fell, 8-4, in a non-conference game against Southern Maine this afternoon in Farmingdale, N.Y. The Rams dropped to an even 5-5, while the Huskies improved to 2-1 on the season.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning, freshman third baseman Matthew Zsevc (Westbury, N.Y.) reached base on an error and eventually scored the tying run on a triple to center by junior left fielder David Zilnicki (Riverhead, N.Y.). Freshman second baseman Thomas Rydzewski (Franklin Square, N.Y.) put the Rams ahead 2-1 with an RBI single to right. The Rams added a third run as Rydzewski scored on a Southern Maine fielding error.
The Huskies responded with a five runs on three hits in the seventh inning to quickly regain the lead.
Farmingdale State cut the deficit to 6-4 in the bottom half of the seventh on a Zilnicki fielder's choice RBI. The Huskies would tack on a run in each of the final two innings to cap off an 8-4 non-conference victory.
The Rams were led by Zilnicki who was 3-for-5 with 2 RBI and a run scored. Rydzewski batted 1-for-4 with a run scored and RBI, while Zsevc added one hit and scored a run.
Senior right fielder David Ricker (Winthrop, ME) had a game-high four hits, 3 RBI and scored one run for Southern Maine. Senior shortstop Anthony Pisani (Cheshire, Conn.) scored three runs and added one RBI for the Huskies.
Starting pitcher Ben Ives allowed one earned run over 6.1 innings and picked up the win for Southern Maine.
Rams junior starting pitcher Anthony Eilers (Bay Shore, N.Y.) recorded a no decision after allowing one earned run in five innings of work.
Farmingdale State next will host Southern Maine on Sunday, March 11th at noon.

very good sock for work
06/16/18 | By Mario R.
Ok guys and gals, these socks are very comfortable and I love the your feet can breath. I was seeking a very comfy work sock and that's exactly what I got, which are hard to come by. What I found with thorlo socks, you will get what you pay for. I purchased over 500 dollars worth of socks (good thing they have an awesome return policy). So I kept the socks that my feet fell in love with, about 200+ dollars later. So of all the socks there were no bad socks, just a preference thing. Every time I put these socks on I brag and praise the feel and comfort. Thanks Thorlo..... P.S., my favorite are the XC & 84NR for every day and the CP & WG for work.

Fantastic socks for umpiring or being on your feet
03/14/20 | By Matthew H.
I love having these socks. They keep me refreshed and ready to go all day.
Great for wearing with my braces.
03/05/20 | By Linda C.
One of my braces covers the back of my calf and has a strap across the front to keep it in place. These socks protect my skin from damage from the strap. They are comfortable to wear even in the summer, give support around the arch and are thin enough not to add to the extra shoe size needed because of the brace.
Thick bottom pads, not too tight
02/29/20 | By Kevin B.
The leg stays up well.
Great Socks for My Son!
04/04/19 | By Holly C.
He likes them a lot.
white socks appearance
03/21/19 | By J michael T.
I did not realize that the white band showed above my loafers and below my pant cuffs. The images did not appear to be that way. It looks like I am wearing white socks except when my trousers are long enough to cover most of my shoe--then still visisble when walking. No, my pants are not "high waters".
Nice calf-high sock
03/11/19 | By Robert B.
Comfortable I liked the 'cleat' aspect
Great Deadlift Socks!
03/10/19 | By Anonymous
These are great socks for deadlift (and general use in the wintertime).A little flash and dazzle is good on the platform, too.
not the softest
03/09/19 | By Don J.
03/08/19 | By William L.
Not enough cushion in heel or toe
changed from basketball to track
03/02/19 | By Carol S.
Socks have no stretch at the top and they are to tight at the top and cuts off circulations. I've always bought the basketball ones but you did not have any. Price was a great deal but not if my husband can't wear them.

I'm currrently planning for a retrofit for structured cabling in line with renovations (the walls aren't coming off), primarily Cat6 for ethernet. I'll primarily be wiring this myself.
My main question is what to use at home distribution location. My original plan was for using PDL style boxes flush mounted likely with quad jack face plates, I was using some of these in past albeit not flush mounted. (I'm aware 6 jack ones exist but from what I read installing the jacks can be rather difficult even more so I expect with thicker Cat6 cable.) For the 8 ports I'd need two, plug probably another box for the phone (using a splitter so one for voice, one for DSL) plus sat+antenna.
But it seems a common alternative is to get a patch panel, perhaps a 12 port one. While I've read some of these can be flush mounted, (at least some of the ones sold internationally can I'm not sure sure about the ones sold in NZ) am I right there's limited advantage in that case? It has slightly more expandability (presuming I get a 12 port) without adding another hole but doesn't necessarily look better. While it keeps things slightly closer together am I right the bigger reason for patch panels tends to be for wall mounted configs, particularly in cabinet or when you have a lot of ports (like 24 or more)?
Once fibre comes in I'd likely get this attached to a new flush mounted box (and since this is not something I can wire myself, changing it around starts to become questionable at that point) although according to Chorus that will be at least ~2.5 years away.
I'm aware of options for in wall mounted cabinets like the SigNet ST2000, but I'm not sure if that would work well for my situation. While you fit a switch, the ADSL modem inside these can just as well go in the cabinet I'm planning to have in front of the flush mounted boxes. (This can also fit a PVR and if needed a NAS or whatever else.)

Back before you young whippersnappers had your video games, game geeks played board games. You know, with physical pieces and paper for keeping score? And Geek Chic makes incredible custom tables for people still into those old-school games.
The tables are pretty amazing looking. They're designed to work as normal dining room tables or whathaveyou, but they also transform to show where you're hiding your huge games. There are layered play surfaces for many types of game boards, stations for Game Masters to sit at, drawers and shelves aplenty for rule books and game pieces, and all sorts of other lovingly-detailed features.
Of course, with the sweet Sultan table starting at $8,850, this is for the most serious of D&D fans only, but if you've got the scratch and a group of friends into playing board games, this is one way to guarantee that game night will always be at your place.
