Tips for Wedding Guest RSVPs
These days, brides often design and send their RSVP cards at the same time as the invitations. However, your RSVP cards play a significant role in the weeks leading up to the big day. Inspire your guests to respond by the deadline by giving your RSVP cards a little humorous or personal flair. eInvite rounded up some of the top tips for wedding guest RSVPs, so you can save yourself the time and energy it takes to track each guest down. In this guide, we take a look at traditional etiquette, quick fixes, and RSVP card design advice. Keep reading to learn more!
Send Your Invitations on Time
Traditionally, you should send your wedding invitations eight weeks before the wedding. Most busy brides decide to include RSVP cards with prepaid postage with the invitations, to save time and resources. Give your guests three to four weeks to respond by setting an appropriate RSVP date. If you send your invitations too early, there's a chance that your guests will forget to respond in time due to the lack of urgency. Etiquette is slightly different for destination weddings, but you can notify guests by sending your save the dates at least nine months in advance. Send wedding invitations at least four to five months in advance of the destination wedding, to ensure that your guests have ample time to renew passports, take time off from work, and book accommodations.
Allow Guests to RSVP Online
Some wedding etiquette aficionados attest to the fact that all guest correspondences should be written and mailed, but your wedding takes place in the digital age. Make accommodations for guests who might not be up to speed in terms of postage or stationery by enabling the RSVP feature on your wedding website. This way, guests can log addresses, phone numbers, and other important information in one convenient place.
Make Your RSVP Cards Unique
A beautifully decorated RSVP card might make it to the refrigerator or corkboard, but a visually interesting RSVP card will inspire your guests to respond as quickly as they can. Incorporate a few funny choices that reflect your sense of humor as a couple. Break your responses up into "gladly accept" vs. "regretfully decline" categories with a comedic twist, or make your meal choices mysterious and terribly confusing by listing them as "of the land, sea, feathers, or soy." Alternatively, you can make your RSVP cards interactive by incorporate a game, map, or word puzzle.
Wrangling Your AWOL Guests
Provide multiple RSVP options to those guests that might not realize a hard "yes" or "no" is necessary for your final catering and reception arrangements. Some family members assume that you assume their presence is definite, but nothing is set in stone when it comes to weddings. Follow up with any guests who have not yet responded and allow them to RSVP by phone, email, website, or social media message. Determine a drop-dead RSVP date to abide by, so your last-minute guests are held accountable and your vendors won't be in the dark for long.
By following our tips for wedding guest RSVPs, you can get an accurate headcount for your wedding without feeling like you're pulling out teeth. Remember that guests take the time and spend the money to share this special occasion with you, so you should be grateful and cooperative while waiting for their responses.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday left standing the basic provisions of the health care overhaul, ruling that the government may use its taxation powers to push people to buy health insurance.
The narrowly delineated decision was a victory for President Obama and Congressional Democrats, with a 5-to-4 majority, including the conservative chief justice, John G. Roberts Jr., affirming the central legislative pillar of Mr. Obama's presidency.
Chief Justice Roberts, the author of the majority opinion, surprised observers by joining the court's four more liberal members in the key finding and becoming the swing vote. Justices Anthony Kennedy, frequently the swing vote, joined three more conservative members in a dissent and read a statement in court that the minority viewed the law as "invalid in its entirety."
The decision did significantly restrict one major portion of the law: the expansion of Medicaid, the government health-insurance program for low-income and sick people, giving states more flexibility.
The case is seen as the most significant before the court since Bush v. Gore ruling, which decided the 2000 presidential election.
In addition to its political reverberations, the decision allows sweeping policy changes affecting one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors of the economy, touching nearly everyone from the cradle to the grave.
Throughout New Year's Eve, we'll be going through the 10 biggest political stories of 2013 as selected by United Liberty's contributors. Don't forget to chime in on the biggest stories of the year on our Facebook page.
When 2013 started, only nine states in the United States recognized same-sex marriage, including three that did so just two months earlier on Election Day. As the year went on, three additional states joined the list via legislation.
The biggest moment in the history of the marriage equality movement to date, though, occurred in June when the Supreme Court handed down its opinion in United States v. Windsor which declared Section 3 the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to be unconstitutional.
DOMA, of course, had been passed by Congress with huge majorities in 1996 in response to the very first steps toward attempting to give gays and lesbians the right to marry and was the beginning of a push back against same-sex marriage, and Section 3 was the portion of the law that defined marriage for purposes of federal law as being only between a man and a woman. This was the start of a "traditional marriage" movement that was hugely successful for the next twelve years as laws or constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage passed in the vast majority of the states, typically by large majorities.

Provocative PPR Players
Mike Streb
There are two types of people in the (fantasy) world: Those who prefer standard league scoring and those who prefer PPR scoring. As many know, PPR stands for "Points Per Reception" meaning that every time a player establishes a catch, he not only receives the yards but also one additional point for every catch he makes (or half a point if you're into that sort of thing).
This type of scoring creates an entirely different strategy when it comes to your draft, as running backs who have hands softer than stone usually get a bump in the rankings (i.e. Le'Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, David Johnson, etc).
In addition to running backs, wide receivers receive a major boost. This article is aiming to point out some players who may not be the upper echelon of their position in standard scoring formats, but PPR scoring makes them very good starting or fill-in players. Let's begin!
Jarvis Landry
Landry finished the 2015 season with 111 receptions (4th) for 1159 yards and 4 TDs. This equates to 276.4 fantasy points in PPR scoring, good for top ten in his position and WR1 status. If we were to score Landry in standard scoring with his stats from last season, he would make WR3 status. This is the beauty (and hardship) of PPR. Landry only had 5 games over 75 yards last season, but he had 11 games of 6 receptions or more including 7 of them having 8+ receptions. Devante Parker may take some targets away from Landry, but that also means defenses won't be able to smother him at the line of scrimmage anymore. I expect another top 10ish finish with about 100 receptions and 1000 yards. Maybe he'll score a few more TDs? Who knows.
Bilal Powell
Many fantasy players, including myself, know Powell as the guy who stole Chris Ivory's touches towards the end of the 2015 season. What many people don't realize is that Powell killed it in the receiving game, totaling 47 receptions in 11 games played. In his final 6 games, Powell had 5 or more receptions in 5 of them. While it's not clear what Powell's role will be with the addition of Matt Forte, it is safe to say that Powell has established himself as a reliable pass-catcher in a crowded Jets backfield.
Jeremy Maclin
Maclin had another great year in 2015. He saw 124 targets and converted them into 87 receptions for 1,088 yards and 8 TDs. Alex Smith is a QB known for short, safe throws which seems to suit Maclin and his skill set as more of a possession receiver. I think Maclin can match last year's production fairly easily, as the offense does not have many receiving options. He may be limited in his TD production as Alex Smith has never been known for throwing many TDs, so Maclin matching his 8 TDs from last year could be a bit of a stretch.
Delanie Walker
Delainie Walker exploded last year for 94 receptions, 1,088 yards, and 6 TDs in his first season with Marcus Mariota. The Titans rewarded him with a new contract, suggesting that maybe (not really maybe) the Titans plan on making Walker a top tier tight end for years to come as he is pretty much the only receiving weapon Mariota has. Walker should see an increase in numbers as Mariota continues to improve. As much as it pains me to say, Walker could surpass the great Greg Olsen as the second best tight end in the league.
Kamar Aiken
Aiken was a relative nobody when it came to the fantasy community last year. Once Steve Smith Sr. was injured, Aiken became a waiver-wire stud in the latter part of the 2015 season. He finished the 2015 season as a top 30 wide receiver somehow. In his last 9 games, Aiken had 5+ catches in every game including 3 TDs. This included multiple games with Ryan Mallet and Jimmy Clausen throwing him the ball. Joe Flacco isn't the greatest gun slinger in the league, but he will definitely be able to get more production out of Aiken. The only obstacle in Aiken's way is that he's currently 4th on the depth chart. Steve Smith is still recovering from his injury, however, and could miss time early in the season. Even as a Ravens fan, I'm not confident in Mike Wallace's abilities or work level either, meaning Aiken could take his spot, or at least see more time than most expect.

If a compromised smile is making it difficult to enjoy life to the fullest, it may be time to consider implant-supported dentures. Implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to the jawbone with small titanium posts called dental implants, which are designed to replace missing tooth roots. They provide an unparalleled level of stability, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile without worrying that your dentures will shift out of place. Berger Dental Group offers custom, natural-looking implant-supported dentures at our Columbia, SC, and Elgin, SC, offices. To learn more, call us today.
Implant-supported dentures offer a number of benefits over traditional dentures:
Dental implants are threaded, much like a wood screw. They are surgically placed in the jaw, where they become permanently fused with the bone tissue. Placing implants typically requires two surgeries. We can use a computerized tomography (CT) scanner to assess bone density and plan your implant placement and treatment timeline. Implants require ample healthy bone tissue. If you have waited to address missing teeth and experienced some bone atrophy, we can place a bone graft prior to implant surgery. To maintain your comfort during oral surgery, we offer safe, effective pain control and sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation.
During the first surgery, an incision is placed in the gums, and a pilot hole is created in the bone. After the implant is placed in the jaw, the gums are stitched closed over the implant, which fuses to the jaw over the next three to six months. Once fusion is complete, your surgeon will attach an abutment piece to the implant during a second surgery. The abutment serves as the point of contact with your dentures. Once the gums have fully healed, we can begin the process of creating your custom denture. We can provide a temporary denture in the meantime.
Your dentures will be carefully crafted using premium materials to achieve a comfortable fit and provide an attractive, natural-looking appearance. Once complete, we will ensure that your implant-supported dentures fit properly and that they complement your unique facial features.
If you are suffering with a compromised smile, implant-supported dentures can make it possible to stop worrying about your missing teeth and start enjoying the best things in life, such as chatting with friends and eating a delicious meal. The caring dentists at Berger Dental Group can answer all your questions and help determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.

Visiting with Ross Mirkarimi and Eliana Lopez
On Friday, September 7th, 2012, 7pm, after a long week of speaking to the press, attending public meetings and engaging in questions and answers with the public, Ross Mirkarimi and his family relaxed and visited with friends. The first set of photos shows Ross, Eliana, Theo and friends relaxing at the family friendly Buck Tavern. The second set, taken on Sunday, September 9th, shows this family and some friends going to lunch at Max's Opera Cafe. Ross, his wife Eliana and their son Theo are a lovely family that have suffered some harsh setbacks, ultimately driven by the political agenda of others. I have gotten to know Ross and Eliana, initially during Ross's successful campaign for Sheriff of San Francisco. I have gotten to know them ever better during this second campaign to regain the office he was elected to. The more I get to know them, both individually and as a family, the more respect, admiration and fondness I feel for them. As a result, I feel even more motivated to right this injustice, to help undo this insult to our city's democracy. Possibly within the next week, Ross's former colleagues at the Board of Supervisors will make a fateful decision that can, and hopefully will restore Ross to the office the people elected him to – an election in which Ross received more total votes than our mayor did.

Urinary Tract Infection
Category : Health , Women Personal Issues
What is that?
Urinary tract infection (UTIs), also called bladder infections, are a common problem for a lot of people. Although anyone could get the infection, girls/women tend to get it more often.
Not everyone with UTIs has symptoms, but most people tend to get a few of the following:
- A sharp burning pain during urination
- Frequent urination—or the urge to urinate a lot
- Cloudy, dark, or bloody urine
- Pain in the back or lower abdomen
- Nausea/vomiting
- Fever
Girls Health—How do you get it?
A woman's urethral opening (which is sterile) is right near two big sources of bacteria: the rectum and the vagina. Bacteria from these areas can move toward the urethra from the rectum if a woman wipes the wrong way after going to the bathroom, and could cause a UTI. During sexual intercourse, bacteria in the urethra can be pushed toward the bladder. And using some types of birth control—like a diaphragm—can also cause bacteria to collect more, and eventually get into the urethra and the bladder.
Girls Health—How do you treat it?
If a bladder infection is diagnosed early, it's usually not a big deal to treat. You can find out if you have UTI with a urine test at the doctor's office. Other tests can also be done on a urine sample to determine which antibiotics are best for you. Most infections are curable with a few days of antibiotic treatment. A doctor could also prescribe other medications to ease some of the painful symptoms. One medication that's commonly prescribed for pain is pyridium. It works well but it could turn your urine a reddish color. If that happens, don't freak out—it's normal. Abstaining from sexual intercourse during treatment also helps the healing process.
When a bladder infection just starts, and if it isn't too bad, many women treat it themselves by drinking a few glasses of cranberry juice and lots of water every day for a few days. This can "flush" the infection out of the bladder.
Girls Health—How can you avoid it?
You can help prevent UTIs by trying the following:
- drink at least six to eight glasses of water a day
- don't drink a lot of caffeine (coffee or colas), or alcohol
- don't wait to go to the bathroom—urinate when you get the urge
- take showers instead of baths
- wipe from front to back whenever you go to the bathroom
- urinate before and right after sexual intercourse
Girls Health—Fibroids
What are they?
Fibroids are growths that may be found in the uterus.
Made up of muscle and fibrous tissue, fibroids form when cells grow abnormally. Fibroids are found in 25% of all women in their 30s and 40s, and tend to appear in black women more than white women.
Often more than one fibroid is present, and they can vary in size from as small as a walnut or as big as an orange. Fibroids can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant and can increase the chances of a miscarriage. In less than 1% of women, they may indicate cancer.
Most women with fibroids experience no symptoms. But some develop menstrual problems, such as:
- Menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding)
- Longer periods
- Bleeding between periods
- Anemia (due to high blood loss)
- Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain)
Girls Health—How do you treat it?
A pelvic exam can help determine if you have fibroids. Other tests include an ultrasonography (similar to the ultrasound) and a laparoscopy. Fibroids don't necessarily need to be removed. Your doctor might just continue monitoring them until they become a problem—which might never happen.
If the fibroids grow or cause pain, they can be removed by surgery. Even after treatment, though, fibroids may reappear.
Drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists may also shrink the fibroids. But if a woman stops taking the medication, the fibroids might grow back. Since these drugs increase the risk for osteoporosis, they are mainly used for just a few months before surgery.
Girls Health—How can you avoid them?
No one knows for sure what causes fibroids, but high levels of estrogen affect them. Fibroids may get larger during pregnancy, and in women who take high-dose estrogen oral contraceptives. Lower dose estrogen oral contraceptives don't increase the size of fibroids, and may make them smaller and help reduce bleeding.

Looking for this? The XXX TLD sets expectations like no other TLD — this is my attempt at fulfilling them.
I recently revisited this project after three years of no development. In 2014 I created the site with Middleman — it used Haml, CoffeeScript, and SCSS, and required a command line tool to output a few static files. I rewrote the site as a single index.html file with 150 lines, and reduced the video payload from ~7mb to under 1mb using H.264 — it even works on mobile now in case you need to watch on-the-go.
Removing all the complexity I layered on in 2014 was a lesson in how quickly "best practices" and my own ideas about them move on.
The type color effect is inspired by the credits in Enter The Void, and the video was originally created for another project, and inspired by Andy Warhol eating a burger.

Trying to keep up with the theme of monthly updates so here is Ro-vembers!
What? Rosengard + November....Ro-vem...oh ffs never mind.
We've continued to split raids whenever we've had the mains online to do so, with more split anguish/tacvi and so on.
In fact we have been so good at it and got so much loot that we're killing faster than ever before!
Every week, the zone clearing records are trimmed a little more.
This has lead to the officers and raid lead team moving us to a 3 hour raiding schedule instead of 4 hour, starting 1 hour later than we previously had (now 8pmCET)
As always, we have room for more friendly faces to compensate for our uglier ones, and if you're an old friend that hasn't checked in for a while feel free to stop by so we can all insult you for being a massive slacker!
Anyhow on to other things, no one really understood what was going on especially with our (non) resident penguin lover last week, so perhaps this months MIA will shed some more light on what our bards have been up to instead of logging on and afk'ing!
And Teeks isn't the only bard who seems to love obscure places, in fact a lot of our bards seem to enjoy relative solitude and lack of human contact!
And finally, quotes including OMM mask click excuses!

At the present, this kind of data is collected and stored by telecom operators infrastructures mainly for billing reasons, yet it represents a major source of information in the study of human mobility. In this paper, we propose an analytical process aimed at extracting interconnections between different areas of the city that emerge from highly correlated temporal variations of population local densities. To accomplish this objective, we propose a process based on two analytical tools: (i) a method to estimate the presence of people in different geographical areas; and (ii) a method to extract time- and space-constrained sequential patterns capable to capture correlations among geographical areas in terms of significant co-variations of the estimated presence. The methods are presented and combined in order to deal with two real scenarios of different spatial scale: the Paris Region and the whole France

text: Jessie's interest in design and advocacy stems from an upbringing in the upper Midwest where the problems of post-industrial cities are often approached from the side of policy and social politics, while built environment remains subservient. Her focus on studying the city and architecture as material artifacts which are equal in fostering social relationships form the bases of her architectural pursuits. During her bachelor studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Jessie worked for Community Design Solutions through which she participated in a variety of neighborhood and city-scale projects. She has studied and worked abroad many times in such diverse places as India, Germany and Paraguay in order to understand the huge variety of contexts and relationships of cities and people. A believer in broad experience, Jessie's professional work has gone beyond the city to include manufacturing, gallery art, traditional architecture, house cleaning, bar tending, fast food service and commercial gardening. Most days you can find her daydreaming among buildings. At Harvard, Jessie is the founding member of WorkingGSD which advocates for students with diverse experience because of financial need. She is currently finishing her Masters of Architecture at the Graduate School of Design.

Our farm location has moved: 27307 NE 100th
Street, Carnation
(We're literally just around the corner from
where we were.)

'Tis The Season For Amazon And Ebay Capsules
The Amazon Echo is breakthrough voice control gadget that promises to make your life much, a lot simpler. Need a bit of tech work on their high quality within the net app – audio channels in net player all hosed up when in comparison with Kindle play. The HDFC bank clients, please be aware this supply is stay and unique just for you folks, If you store on the Amazon web site you'll be able to avail upto 10{59b8fe76c8464b8e94abba20cd208012685fef57eb2bba9c362cdf46abc7efab} cashback while for Amazon app customers you possibly can avail upto 15{59b8fe76c8464b8e94abba20cd208012685fef57eb2bba9c362cdf46abc7efab} low cost. Please Note: Using the GUI is the WORST doable option to initialize the cart or the login.
In specific, a advertising senior vice-president was lifeless set towards it. His most important objection was that it might distract people away from checking out – it is true that it is a lot simpler and more widespread to see prospects abandon their cart at the register in on-line retail – and he rallied others to his cause.
The incredibly low cost prices on Wish aren't faux, but the mobile shopping expertise does include a number of caveats. Most of my furnishings was bought from a very good furniture store in the next road, but I actually have discovered Amazon to be great for any online shopping I needed to do, particularly their categorical delivery. Just to let you know – you may have a couple of hyperlinks to a kindle notepad app however Amazon is displaying that product as not out there. Amazon has about the very best conversion rate for any website promoting physical items. Internet shopping is the popular means to buy unique, one among a kind and hand made objects. Did you get them a present?" moment to I am so bored of my life, I have to uplift my spirits, do not come near me till you see this frown become a smile, from all of the shopping" moments, Amazon has taken care of all possibilities.
That was an eye fixed-opener for me. I think the explanation persons are getting clicks however no sales with Amazon is as a result of most people buy after the Amazon cookie has expired. Finally, you can't even take a look at the lightning offers of the day after you click on the link to the listing. I do consider that you get excellent offers in Electronic gadgets purchases, a lot decrease in value and good in quality in comparison with shopping malls. Although the Australian greenback isn't any match for the US greenback at current, it may nonetheless be price shopping on-line from the U.S. Below are some web sites that offer free or low cost shipping to Australia. It would possibly sound weird however I have an concept for a app that folks really need and I'm prepared to present it up for a good amount of cash. Use your voice to seek for products on Amazon or to track your orders and reorder gadgets.

Rev. Dr. Todd Adams, Associate General Minister & Vice-President of the Christian Church and newly called President of the Pension Fund of the Christian Church, led pastors and congregational board members in two separate workshops at First Christian Church in Neosho on January 23 and First Christian Church in Columbia on January 24. Dr. Adams is a Certified Governance Trainer, through Board Source, a national organization which helps non-profit boards to fulfill their obligations.
Dr. Adams detailed important legal, ethical, and practical considerations for faithful governance by local congregations. He noted the importance of congregations filling out yearbook reports to continue IRS Code non-profit tax exemptions though their group exemption within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Dr. Adams also highlighted how many churches quickly become bogged down in board operations over against ministry due to the constant work of filling Board slots and positions. The church is no longer living in the 1950's. The church has to be prepared for a new generation that does not have time for committee and Board meetings, but still wants to fulfill the different missional needs of congregations in their local community. The words of Dr. Adams were refreshing and encouraging!
For those who could not attend the workshop, the Regional Ministry of Leadership Development through the support of the Rickman Legacy Fund provided for this video of the presentation (taken by Antornette Allison).

text: Hi All. I realise I may get a lot flack from this posting but I am only trying to start a stimulating interesting post. Has the I-phone past its sell-by date? Yes the I-phone was the king of bling the must have gadget and the biggest thing since the invention of the wheel. But now August 2010 you ask anyone about the I-phone and you get the reply yes my granny has one and she has the latest app to automatically count the stitches for her knitting. Or yes my uncle Fred has one and he has some apps to record the times for his racing pigeons and another app to bread his ferrets you see where this is going its not cool any more its lost its bling, it has about as much bling as pigs pudding or a trip to the dentist. Why is this so, well I believe its own success has killed it stone dead, every one has one, its so common and if your honest with yourself you have to agree, that common is not cool. Well what of the future? I think the next cool thing with phones is the phrase Powered By Android. Let me explain you ask anyone today about Android and you will get

Or "The Poor Man's Split Testing Method".
There's no right or wrong way to do this. Darren Rowse made a post about split testing Google Adsense and showed how to do so using channels and a little javascript.
Like a lot of things, there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing.
Enter PHP, that fancy web scripting language that gives you the ability to do some pretty neat tricks.
The code snippet below allows you to split test your Adsense by day. Instead of having to setup separate channels to split test, just login to your Google Adsense account, create two versions of the Google Adsense code you want to test, paste those two versions into the PHP code shown below, put that PHP code in an include file on your site, and call that include file in your web page. Then, if you want to see how you are doing, go back to your Google Adsense account and look at your results by day.
O.K. maybe that was a lot of stuff to do.
If you have a PHP enabled web site and you are not using PHP includes, tsk, tsk.
All of the even numbered days (even numbered according to PHP) will display one version of your Adsense code while all of the odd numbered days will show another version of your Adsense code.
if (date("z")%2 < 1) {
<!-- Google Adsense #1 goes here -->
} else {
<!-- Google Adsense #2 goes here -->
The most important part is the "if" statement, the code that checks whether today is an even or an odd numbered day.
In this PHP example the "z" represents the day of the year.
The date("z")%2 < 1 checks if today's number modulus 2 is less than one (which asks if today is an even numbered day), then do whatever is between the set of squirly braces - the "{" and "}" - else do whatever is between the next set of squirly braces.
The whatever I am referring to is display your Adsense code.
By the way, there is nothing to prevent your from putting anything between the squirly braces.
There are some limitations to be aware of for sure. Namely, you still need to generate two versions of the Adsense javascript code to include on your web site. Also, if you want to get a better understanding of your results, you will need to download the results and group the data by even or odd day. I don't even know if Google allows for an easy way to get your Adsense results – I'm not even going to login to find out.
But, for a quick and dirty way of split testing your Adsense results, this PHP code will do the trick.
Extra: You don't have to just use the day of the year ("w"), you could just as easily use day of the week ("w"), hour of the day ("G"), day of the month ("j") – or some combination. Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can … oops, that's for a different topic 🙂

Imagine that you're a client of a digital marketing agency (or any marketing agency for that matter).
Something screws up during your campaign. The visuals look awful. The copy is off-brand. The response is lacklustre.
Who you're gonna call?
Nope, not the Ghostbusters, but the agency's account manager.
Performing the role of a bridge between the client and the creative, content, and technical teams in a digital marketing agency, the account manager is a vital lynch pin in an agency's organisation.
Holder of key client accounts, she is responsible not only for bringing in the moolah each month, but to improve client satisfaction and delight.
And we all know how important that is.
So what tasks should an agency's account manager do? If you are one, how can you differentiate yourself from others to perform at the peak of your game?
Here are some best practices to follow.
In general, the account manager has to act as the police, timekeeper, and client advocate – all rolled into one.
Comfortable in closely working with the client, she needs to negotiate with the client on timelines if the team has a problem meeting them. At the same time, she needs to also communicate her client's preferences to the team.
Here are some of an account manager's role on an ongoing basis:
An account manager's job doesn't end with closing the sale or maintaining existing customer relationships.
Rather, a good account manager helps an agency in project fulfillment, troubleshoot quality issues, and manages multiple parties to ensure smooth delivery.
What are your thoughts on the roles of an account manager? I'd love to hear them.

Small spaces need special treatment. That's just all there is to it. You see all of these amazing home tours on HGTV and all of these fabulous DIY projects – but everything is always massive! Huge 18 person sectional sofa, dining table for 42. OK, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point. Who has all that square footage? Besides the people on the show, I mean.

One of my favorite things is self-care. I'm a firm believer that you need to take a moment to focus on yourself and treat your mind and soul to a little rest and relaxation. And if you can make that happen in your own home instead of spending a ton of money in some fancy spa–you're all set to pampering yourself like a champ. Not only is it a great way to save money, but there's this weird satisfaction with realizing that you're very capable of giving your skin the nourishment that it needs.
For the past few months, I've been given the opportunity to appear as a guest blogger for Ghoulish Delights Bath Shop. A few years ago, I came across her small business and became obsessed with her products and her aesthetic as a whole. Her shop provided everything that one would need to improve their skincare routine; body scrubs, face masks, moisturizing creams, bath bombs, perfume and more. She puts a unique spin on her skincare line that speaks to ghosts and ghouls alike. There's even a 'Wolfman Collection' that allows men to take proper care of their beards! Believe me, fellas, there is nothing sexier than a man who takes care of himself!
As a member of her team, I get to write various articles about the paranormal, horror movies, and anything else that pertains to the macabre! I received a package of skincare goodies in the mail from Amanda. And although I was pretty excited to dive into her products–I think my favorite part of this package was the card…
Amanda truly cares about the well-being of her customers and the outcome of her products. Her background as a licensed esthetician gives her the ability to craft skincare products that house natural ingredients and delicious scents that channel her love of horror for everyday use. Each product inside the box that I received had all the benefits for an at-home spa day. It's been a stressful time for me these past few weeks. Working full-time and feeling like my head is about to explode. Preparing for my engagement photo shoot and all that goes into it along with other wedding planning duties. Dealing with a hostile individual in my complex who's been an absolute nightmare. It's like I kicked over a hornets' nest and I'm being stung five billion times in the face. I needed this stress-free spa day.
Before I dove into skincare, I generally just used body wash when I was in the shower. I never explored the realm of salt scrubs mainly because I didn't really know how to start, how often to do it, etc. I didn't really have the knowledge and know-how that went behind it, so like a normal, weird, creature of habit–I avoided it. I'm relieved that I broke that mold and got around to trying new things. With that being said, the Punishment of Krampus might just be my new skin-care go-to. The scent of this black salt scrub is Pine Forests, Fires with Smokey tones. Applying a small amount in my hand, I applied it as instructed in a circular motion on my legs. Once that settled in and I was ready to rinse, my skin was left feeling incredibly smooth. This salt scrub made my legs feel like a million bucks.
Next up in the box was Misty Day's Magic Mud. Out of everything in this box, I was extremely eager to give this a try. This summer has been ruthless and my skin has been suffering from it. My skin gets very, very dry during this time of year. It becomes insanely itchy and uncomfortable. So, believe me, proper skin care is crucial.
Upon the release of American Horror Story: Coven–I practically watched the season non-stop. I've always been into witchcraft and the lore that surrounded it. After I binge-watched the entire season, I fell in love with Misty Day. I've always been fascinated with necromancy. So, when Misty's character was introduced–I fell in love with her immediately. Not only was she a gifted witch in the show, she had an obsession with Stevie Nicks. This lady was after my own heart.
If you're applying this as a face mask, be sure to let it sit for 15-20 minutes. This stuff is intense. I could feel my skin getting tighter and tighter. It was like I had just got some botox injections–I'm totally fine with that. Now, if you're using it as a cleanser–you only have to leave it on your face for about 2-5 minutes. Wash off and then pat dry.
My skin was practically GLOWING after I washed off the Magic Mud. As promised, the mud mask left my face feeling baby-soft. No dry skin. And I was feeling very refreshed. I needed this face mask. Now, you can apply this mask, let it sit for a minute and then pat dry. But since my skin is dry as sand, I decided to give my face that additional moisture.
I decided to use Spider Gates Corpse Cream. I can't get over the smell. In a good way. There are certain scents I'm attracted to. Freshly baked cookies, fresh laundry, sizzling bacon and a fresh pot of coffee are the essentials to pleasing my senses. Spider Gates smells like morning rain combined with freshly upturned dirt and I'm IN LOVE. After I applied this to my face, I gently rubbed the corpse cream into my skin. I was practically in heaven after this combination.
It's no secret that I have some dark circles. And I've got a bit of aging going on–but hey, I'm getting older so of course, it's going to show on my skin. And that's not just me, that's just for everyone in general. Your skin takes a beating after being exposed to the sun. If you're a smoker or a drinker–believe me–that will drastically change your skin as well.
But I gotta admit–I saved the best for last. The Light of Carol Anne Brightening Face Mask (based off the hit film Poltergeist) is the highlight of this entire haul. Now, I've never used a Brightening Face Mask. I was extremely unsure what the outcome would be and if it would truly live up to its' title.
As instructed on the back of the jar, you can mix just a morsel of the powder into a small bowl. And you can add whichever liquid you prefer. I chose lukewarm water to mix and create my face mask with. Now, I made a HUGE mistake and added way too much water and created a soup rather than an actual mask. My fault. Turns out, you barely need any water at all. You need just enough to add some texture to create the right consistency to smear on your face.
If you're unsure of what the consistency should look and feel like with this face mask–I got a helpful tip for you. Mix until you reach the consistency of oatmeal. I know my face looks like a mess but believe me the face mask starts doing its work the minute you leave it on for the suggested time frame. During the wait, the face mask was beginning to harden. This is normal with any face mask really and the Mud Mask had the same effect. All the nutrients in this mask are at work giving you the TLC your skin needs.
Once the timer goes off, you can rinse this face mask off by using a steamed towel. I will say this–I always have an issue with rinsing off a face mask since there's always some part of the mask that manages to get stuck in my hairline. That's the only messy part of this experience. When you're ready, wipe off the mask in circular motions and prepare yourself for the Light of Carol Anne!
Stay Spooky.
I'm all for anything that is witchy and cruelty-free skincare so hopefully, once all the products are restocked I will definitely get some!!

For use in acute and chronic liver disorders.
Damage to liver cells from various noxae can manifest itself as acute or chronic hepatitis, fatty liver and liver cirrhosis among others. This intoxication of the liver can be caused by viral infection, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and certain toxic metabolic disorders.
The effect is a reduction in enzyme activity, reduced detoxification ability and poor hepatic metabolism resulting in liver fibrosis, hepatic cell death and fatty degeneration.
CellFORTIS® when taken is incorporated into liver cell membranes with the following result:
- Restructures damaged membranes
- Increases membrane fluidity
- Improves cell metabolism
- Stimulates hepatic cellular regeneration
- Reactivates membrane enzymes.
- The result of this action is an overall improvement in liver function.
Every year thousands of patients are prescribed CellFORTIS® by doctors to treat liver disorders. Numerous clinical studies have confirmed the therapeutic possibilities of CellFORTIS®. Loss or damage to phospholipids is seen irrespective of the cause of liver disorders. Oral intake of CellFORTIS® has been shown to increase the uptake of PPC into liver cell membranes with a corresponding increase in membrane regeneration.
CellFORTIS® is the superior natural preventative against liver damage. Individuals who have a higher alcohol intake than is recommended should consider CellFORTIS® daily to help mitigate the side effects of this behaviour.
CellFORTIS® interferes at various sites in the pathological processes of atherosclerosis by virtue of its PPC content. PPC has been proven to both improve the fluid characteristics of blood and to reverse existing atherosclerotic changes of the vascular wall.
- CellFORTIS® is incorporated into the membrane increasing the flexibility and fluidity of the erythrocytes and reducing the tendencies of the blood cells to aggregate. This can help improve microcirculation to the periphery and can reverse elevated blood viscosity.
- CellFORTIS® can convert atherogenic cholesterol into a form that can be transported to the liver where it can be metabolised. By this process Cellfortis® can help normalise the levels of 'bad' cholesterol in the body.
- CellFORTIS® helps activate the enzyme lecithin cholesterol-acyl-transferase ( LCAT ). This results in the conversion of more free cholesterol into a cholesterol ester. The high level of linoleic acid contained in CellFORTIS® induces the formation of cholesterol linoleate which is easier to mobilise and therefore less atherogenic.
This cholesterol linoleate is transported to the liver by HDL where it is metabolised and excreted as bile acids with the bile. This is the process by which CellFORTIS® can help transport cholesterol from the peripheral capillaries to the liver. CellFORTIS® can also mobilise and remove cholesterol from the arterial walls by the same process of LCAT activation.
CellFORTIS® is the premium supplement for the maintenance of good cardiovascular health.
Clinical trials showed that CellFORTIS® has positive effects on plasma lipids, plasma lipoproteins, and on blood vessels. It was also shown that the PPC in CellFORTIS® could interfere with certain diabetes-associated conditions. It was shown to improve the condition of blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, ketone body excretion, and other diabetes specific parameters.
- Reduced risk of atherosclerosis.
- Reduces signs of liver damage
- Promotes good circulation to the periphery reducing the risk of gangrene.
- Influences reverse cholesterol transport to the liver.
- Improves the lipoprotein profile in patients.
- Positive effects on plasma lipids and plasma proteins.
CellFORTIS® AND BRAIN HEALTH:
CellFORTIS® protects against mild memory loss associated with ageing. CellFORTIS® increases acetylcholine levels in the brain and this has been shown to slow the deterioration or even reverse it in elderly people. Acetylcholine is a very important neurotransmitter in the brain.
CellFORTIS® has been shown to protect from gastric erosion associated with the use of certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs). The PPC in CellFORTIS® has been shown to be incorporated into the gastric mucosal significantly reducing the ulceration while under treatment by NSAIDs.

IVAN - THE WORLDS BIGGEST WILD LEOPARD! Yala in Sri Lanka is home to the worlds biggest leopards (Panthera pardus kotiya, IUCN Threatened), and the densest population. With no other big cats to compete with they are much bolder than elsewhere in the world and can regularly be seen in the daytime. On this occasion we spotted a leopard that is believed to be the biggest in the world - nicknamed as 'one eyed Ivan', his missing eye made him appear much more threatening than any other leopard I'd ever seen. #Leopard #Yala #SriLanka #Cat #Wildlife #BBC #EarthOnLocation

Merry Christmas everyone!
Last December 24, I gave you my impressions on Blackberry Curve 8520 with special focus on its form and aesthetics. Today, I will give you my thoughts about its operating system.
IMPRESSIONS (Part 2)
Blackberry Curve 8520 uses OS v.220.127.116.114. Like other Blackberries, the OS installed in this variant is built specially to put its signature input keys such as the trackball and the optical trackpad into maximum reliability. Amazingly, although its OS has its minimalistic theme, it certainly never fails to provide the necessary features its end users need.
The OS performs quite fast with this phone. However, when I tried opening several applications like messaging, calendar, Mobipocket Reader and web and to my dismay, it failed to respond until I had to remove the battery to put it off. I realized then that I was using a low-end Blackberry variant.
Let me give you a rundown of my experience on this phone's key features:
DASHBOARD: Every simple thing you need is in the dashboard at default. Boot the phone and quickly see your 6 most important applications, profiles, time, date, connection, signal bar and battery level. Press the blackberry key, then you will see several more applications in all glory.
MESSAGING (application and its full qwerty keyboard): I am not fond of texting but with Curve 8520's full qwerty keyboard, I became nostalgic over the maiden days of texting. Yes, the keys are cramped but after 2 or 3 days of using it, you wouldn't mind typing 'Mississippi' in a matter of 2 to 3 seconds.
As usual, messaging is Blackberry's forte. SMS, Email, Blackberry Instant Messaging (PIN) and MMS can be composed easily. If you wish to compose a message, simply go to a dedicated icon for Messaging or SMS, then compose any type of message.
Like other Blackberries, this one has Blackberry Instant Messaging. All you need is a data plan to be able to use it though. Once you start using it, you will never send SMS again. The downside is, if you wish to send an instant message, the recipient of your message should also have a Blackberry. Too bad, I was not able to test this feature myself because I do not have a data plan. If you're going to buy this phone, be sure to buy something for your partner too, get a data plan, acquire his/her PIN number then start messaging.
Of course, you can also user your work email account through Blackberry Enterprise Server. However, you need to coordinate with your company IT to have it set up (you workaholic!).
That's all for now. Next time, I'll give you my impressions on web and 3rd party application usage. Also, don't miss my final verdict on this phone.
