This is the story of a horological curiosity that simply blew us away. Two months ago, when we visited the Vacheron Constantin factory in Geneva, we were shown the image of a timepiece dating to the early 70s. On the dial of that timepiece was the crest of Apollo 14, the third NASA mission to take man to the moon, dating to January 1971.The thing is, nobody at Vacheron knows anything about this watch, and there is only one photograph of it (which you see above). On top of that, tells us that there is no other trace of it in the archives, so we don't know the caliber used, case number, or anything else about it.Our guess? It was made for a retailer or large client as a one-off and because there is no record of it in the archives, we have no way of knowing if it was ever delivered.

If it says JLC on the dial, it should say JLC on the movement. If it says LeCoultre on the dial, it should say LeCoultre on the movement.Taking things one step further, many LeCoultre wristwatches came with a special US-only crown that, [url=http://www.otzsreplicas.com/hublot-c-49.html]fake hublot watches[/url] instead of being signed "JL", was signed "LeC." You rarely see these anymore because, well, if the thing has been serviced once, it is very likely the crown was replaced with a JL signed piece.An LeC crown isn't a must have, in fact many LeCoultre watches of the 1950s-70s did in fact come with a "JL" crown,

There are examples of early Langes doing incredibly well in the auction world - .

A limited edition two piece set of Grand Lange 1 "Lunda Mundi" watches hit 93,750 euros, or more than twice their original selling price in 2003. The same day, an LE 1815 Moonphase Homage to FA Lange in honey gold sold for 26,300 euros, a 45% increase in value since its launch just 1 year before. A white gold Zeitwerk also sold that day in Hong Kong for 65,000 euro, or 40% above its original 2009 retail price. These are impressive numbers for a young brand. fake ferrari watches fake watches So impressive in fact, that Lange sent out a press release about it, as if to directly address anyone who might say they could never match the ROI of some of the current heavyweights. replica watches cheap Lange is indeed mediating the issue of their resale values, and in the cases of the pieces mentioned above jaeger lecoultre replica watches , they have much to be proud of. Still, there is a ways to go if Lange is to consistently sell well in the after-market, but that simply means there is tremendous value in some of the earlier Lange watches right now.

When buying a new home make sure it's energy efficient
Posted 06/04/2011 by Siti Crook
Do you hope to buy a new home someday, or move into your dream home next? If you do I strongly urge you to thoroughly investigate the energy demand of the house you're planning to buy before signing on the dotted line.
If you're already the type of person that researches a product before purchasing it, the same diligence should be conducted when purchasing a home, new or existing. Otherwise, chances are you could purchase someone's "lip stick job"—fancy countertops, elaborate floor covering, etc. only to find that once you've moved in there's no substance to your home's structure.
For example, the heat outside can conduct (penetrate) through the walls into your home forcing your air conditioner to work harder. If it's cold outside the heat in the conditioned air inside your home can conduct (penetrate) out through the walls making your heater work harder.
Recently, when I was surfing the internet looking for like minded people interested in energy efficiency technology, I came across an enraged homebuyer turned blogger. Apparently, the blogger had purchased a new home advertised as energy efficient but it wasn't, so they created a website/ blog to warn others about the builder. I suspect they hadn't done their due diligence before they bought the house and they were probably also angry with themselves. Their experience doesn't need to be yours.
When you buy a home it is generally the largest single purchase most people make, and as far as I know there aren't any returns.
House Lemon Law
Since it's not possible to return your home if you don't like it, there are groups of people wanting to legislate a "House Lemon Law". However, with any law it is usually a remedy after the fact when the damage has already occurred. Prevention is much more effective and definitely less costly.
As you move towards making your purchase decision, be mindful that one day your utility bills could equal or surpass your monthly mortgage payment. It's already happening to some homeowners. They owe two mortgages—one to the bank and one to the utility company.
Ask to see the present owner's utility bills. If they won't produce the utility bills keep looking, or if you really like the house, have a third party audit performed by a certified BPI or HERs auditor. The same is true for a newly constructed home. If the house doesn't have an independent third party evaluation already, insist on having one done.
Hind sight is always 20/20, and you probably won't win if you bet that energy costs will go down. Historically, energy costs have increased by two to two and a half percent a year for the past 50 years. I doubt you'll regret making the time to prevent what could very possibly be a costly and preventable mistake.

Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.
– Don McCullin,1935
The above quote comprises in a nutshell what photography means to me. It is the drive in me to move the viewer, which truly describes my passion for photography.
As I step in to the domain of professional photography, I believe I could help capture those moments which are most precious to everyone in life –weddings, special events and babies to name a few.
So go ahead and take a look at all of my work and if you think I could be part of your life experience and capture your precious moments, give me a call!

Robin White
Fish and chips, Maketu
Artwork Detail Request a print
Unpretentious suburban or small-town buildings, the backbone of New Zealand's recent architectural history, have pride of place in many of Robin White's New Zealand landscape paintings. This little local fish-and-chip shop, threatened now no doubt by international fast-food chains, has a quiet, unsentimental dignity and charm. White also works extensively as a printmaker, often repeating motifs from her paintings. Elizabeth Eastmond commented of her prints: 'These images of the New Zealand landscape, some with its provincial buildings, have a quality of clarity, simplification and concentration, that has made them emblematic to many of a perceived "essential" New Zealandness'. A similar essential character is seen by many in the works of Rita Angus, an artist whom Robin White admires. As a child White remembers being taken by her mother to this Gallery where she saw, among other things, Rita Angus's Portrait of Betty Curnow (page 102). She later said, 'That portrait of Betty Curnow has a presence to it - it's always at the back of my mind'. The example of Angus as a determined, committed woman artist was also important: 'I looked at her and thought, if she can do it, so can I'. In 1982 Robin White and her family moved to Kiribati, where her principal medium is woodcut prints which reflect her experience of village life in the Central Pacific. (from The Guide, 2001)

Tetsuya's Tasmanian Connection
'As a food lover with a passion for natural flavours, I knew I had found a paradise,'
Tetsuya first visited Tasmania in 1990 to source the exquisite fish that was to become the foundation for his signature dish, Confit of Tasmanian Ocean Trout.
Tetsuya soon became involved with a range of existing Tasmanian products and took a hands-on role in the evolution of several new ones. Selected products are now included on the menus of Tetsuya's restaurants in Sydney and Singapore.
In 1994, Tetsuya became a Brand Ambassador to help make the wider world more aware of the good things the State of Islands has to offer. More recently, he commissioned the Wooden Boat Centre at Franklin, in Tasmania's south-east, to build him a fishing boat using traditional methods and world-renowned endemic timbers, including the legendary Huon pine. The wooden boat, Belle, was launched on June 1, 2011.
Tetsuya is a patron of Tasmania's vibrant fine arts sector, and visits his friends in the state as regularly as his busy lifestyle allows.
'A piece of quality blue-vein cheese drizzled with leatherwood honey is a simple but sublime dessert that communicates better than any words the purity of tastes I have found in Tasmania, '
To better understand Tetsuya's enthusiasm, we invite you to visit the Brand Tasmania website: www.brandtasmania.com

At Face Value
Saturday 23 February, 2002
07.30 E&M 35 mins. Karaj and I talked this morning about tangential transactions: the way he gets his message across to people by talking in front of them to another person. I told him he is also very straight with people – Robert for example. I am unable to be as straight. Karaj told me this is because I create internal aggression when I try, which then manifests itself outside. Robert is the same, which explains the initial tension between us whenever we get together.
In the evening Karaj gave me a lift to the station to catch my train to see Alex. I sat in Alex's local, surrounded by his usual entourage. He has one wherever he goes. The faces change with time but the standard of the people doesn't. Alex has an aura which attracts all sorts to him but he has no filters to sort them out or to protect himself. He specialises in rescuing people and encouraging people to rescue others. Once again he is hanging out with people who, through no fault of their own, are beneath his talents, gifts and abilities.
Faced with the prospect of socialising with strangers – albeit acquaintances of Alex's – I knew the value of pastiming and that I would gain nothing by withdrawing and trying to raise myself above them – I've seen this in Robert and it is not flattering. As Karaj said recently, each human being has every right to be where they are. So I simply took everything and everyone at face value and enjoyed myself.

Not sure the tangential stuff worked with me. My mind has always been too imaginative and always found ways to convince me that the feedback does not apply to me, though a part me always knew it did. I guess l did not want to believe or face it at the time.
I always prefer the direct method, though I know that the direct feedback would cause me to get emotional and "go South" which is why Karaj used the indirect method. However l know that would come out of the emotions and learn the lesson.

Geography in Laser-light: Using Lidar to Map the Metroscape
Chances are that at some point in your life, without even knowing it, you've been hit by a laser. It may have been mounted on an airplane, helicopter, or even a satellite. Your dwelling, your car or bike, perhaps even your pet may have also been hit. The fact that you're still here to tell the tale is because the laser used was far too weak to damage you and was part of a system known as light imaging, detection, and ranging—"lidar" for short.
Whether orbiting the earth, circling the skies right above us, or just trundling down a road in the back of a pickup truck, lidar equipment has been put to use by engineers and scientists (and sometimes even artists) for projects ranging from the mundane to the monumental. Like almost all technologies, it's hard to keep pace with the rate of improvements and changes to lidar, but every increase in its fidelity allows our region to know more about our resources, risks, and opportunities.
This issue of the Periodic Atlas will look at the rising prominence and capabilities of lidar, and how local researchers are using the technology to change the way we see, measure, and manage our region (figure 1).
First developed in the 1960s in conjunction with the invention of the laser, lidar is an active sensing system that functions on the same principle as its cousins, sonar and radar, firing a pulse of energy in the form of radar waves, sound, or light, and measuring the time it takes to bounce back. If you know the speed of that pulse of energy, then measuring the time it took to bounce back to you will give you the distance to your target of interest.
In lidar's case, a laser operating in the infrared, visible, or ultraviolet spectrum is fired at the target. (In reality, thousands of beams are pulsed at the target.) A sensor unit mounted with the laser detects the reflected beams, measures their time of flight along with their energy intensity, and returns what is called a point cloud (figures 2 and 3).
This point cloud represents the first, rawest form of lidar-derived data, containing millions, or even billions, of points, each one representing the three-dimensional coordinates of laser reflections. With current technology, the accuracy of a given point is usually within fifteen centimeters vertically, and forty centimeters horizontally.
However, from their raw form, point clouds are often far too large and complex to be used by anyone but specialized analysts or engineers. Most often, the point cloud is simplified into a raster or pixelated image. Each pixel of this image represents an averaging of hundreds or even thousands of individual lidar points, depending on its resolution. The most common of these rasters are "digital ground models" used for measuring the elevation of the natural or built environment (figure 4).
Given the high labor and material costs of collecting lidar data, public sector users have tended to pool their resources into consortiums to purchase large, high-resolution data sets. In Oregon, the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) has led the Oregon Lidar Consortium since 2007, managing procurement, establishing and maintaining quality standards for the data, and hosting the final products on the web for all members of the public to use.
Here in the region, lidar data has been an essential component of an ever-expanding spate of research projects, many of them focusing on sustainable solutions for managing climate change and new development
One of lidar's most common uses has been the study and prediction of landslides. According to DOGAMI, tip-offs include "scarps, tilted and bent ('gun-stocked') trees, wetlands and standing water, irregular and hummocky ground topography, and over-steepened slopes with a thick soil cover." With finer resolutions and improvements in the ability to interpolate terrain beneath forest canopies, geologists and environmental engineers are using lidar to spot those tip-offs, as well as evidence of historic landslide activity that may not be immediately visible to the naked eye
Earlier in 2018, DOGAMI released a report and accompanying data sets detailing the landslide risks faced in western Multnomah County (Figure 5). Using lidar along with existing tax lot and census data, DOGAMI determined that $1.65 billion in land and buildings and almost 6,700 people are located on existing landslides, twenty-nine thousand residents are at direct risk of a shallow landslide, and eight thousand at risk of a major deep landslide. The majority of those at risk are located in and around Forest Park, where elevation, soil, runoff, and vegetation health all combine as determinants of landslide risk.
While the Portland region has long enjoyed the reputation and benefits of being one of the most verdant urban areas in the nation, measuring the health of urban tree canopies has either relied on aerial observation and a lot of guesswork, or tedious on-the-ground investigation. With the introduction of lidar, researchers have gained a powerful tool that opens the door to new ways of measuring the health and density of trees across the region.
Researchers from PSU's Sustaining Urban Places Research Lab and Metro's Data Resource Center have used canopy height data from lidar in conjunction with spectrum data from aerial imagery to produce new datasets that can estimate the total biomass of the region's trees (Figure 6). Going further, researchers used statistical analysis of the lidar data to identify individual tree crowns, which in turn allowed for the identification of particularly tall, old-growth trees around the region. Going forward, this data could allow local tree-preservation advocates and agencies to more accurately allocate their limited resources.
Ecoroof development has taken on greater importance in the region, especially in light of Portland's recent inclusion of an ecoroof mandate and targets in the Central City 2035 Plan. While specific incentives have yet to be decided, the city plans to add 408 acres of ecoroofs to the city by 2035. Portland State researchers and faculty took part in analyzing current regional lidar data to determine which existing buildings may already be good candidates for adding ecoroofs (figure 7a and 7b). Using high-resolution lidar, researchers were able to identify candidate buildings across the region, analyzing not only the overall aspect and slope of roofs, but their flatness as well (e.g., building roofs without excessively bulky HVAC units on them).
The projects discussed in this issue of the Periodic Atlas represent just a glimpse of what lidar data has allowed researchers to do so far. Moreover, these projects exist in the growing area of overlap between lidar data and sustainable policies and investments. As the capabilities of lidar become more known among local decision-makers, entirely new ways of analyzing and planning for a sustainable region could be quick to follow.
Researchers within IMS and PSU are increasingly depending on lidar data to improve our understanding of the region, but the data still have limits. First among these is the static nature of the data—with the rapid growth and change occurring within the region, every day that passes means the most recent lidar survey from 2014 loses a little bit of its relevance. The scope of the data is also limited as it does not include complete coverage, often leaving out rural areas and small towns. While there is certainly interest among researchers in procuring a more exhaustive survey of the entire MSA region, and the benefits of lidar data are becoming more and more evident, local elected officials and agencies will have to find a way to share in the investment and management of future surveys.

Frontenac is a product of research and cross-breeding at the University of Minnesota between Landot 4511 and an extremely cold-hardy selection of Vitis riparia. It is known as a "grower friendly" variety that survives harsh winters and is fairly disease resistant. Frontenac is used to produce a variety of wine styles such as dry oaked reds, light rosés, sweeter fruit-forward reds, and ports.
Our Frontenac was grown at Katotawa Farms in northern Ashland County under our supervision. It is a sweeter style of red with characteristic varietal traits such as a dark garnet color, cherry aromas, and flavors of black currant, plum and cocoa nibs.

How to Add Supports to Wood Chairs
Almost all wooden chairs have different designs. One support won't fit them all. However, they also have common ground; they are held together with either mortise and tenon or dowel joints. This is where support is needed because of loss of friction or failing glue in the joint. The chair won't collapse, but unless something is done to stabilize the joint, it eventually will fail. Many chairs have round legs and stretchers, while some have square or slanted. If you customize supports for the individual design, you can save the chair.
Turn the chair upside down. Grab the legs, supports and braces with your hands and wiggle them. Identify the joints that separate when you move the legs.
Draw a line diagonally across the 3/4-by-2-by-2-inch blocks. Don safety glasses. Cut along the line with a bandsaw to produce two equal triangles.
Place one of the triangles on the underside of a loose joint. Fit the corner of the triangle into the corner of the joint. The two longer sides of the triangle will be aligned with the two intersecting parts of the chair.
Rock the triangle with your fingers. If it fits tight into the corner with both arms flush and tight against the two corresponding parts, the support is ready. If the part rocks, or won't fit tight, use a pencil to draw the high spots, curves, dips or angles of the joint onto the triangle. You may have to draw a line across the corner of the triangle that fits into the corner to blunt it.
Clamp a belt sander upside down on a worktable. Insert the clamp into the handle and tighten it so you can access the trigger. Turn on the sander and use the curved part of the belt to customize the triangle using the lines you drew on it. Hold the triangle by the back and gently push it into the belt to cut curves, dips and angles to match the joint. Blunt the corner if necessary.
Test the fit. If it doesn't fit tight, continue drawing, refining the lines and sanding until the triangle fits tight into the joint.
Apply glue to the sides and points where the triangle brace makes contact with the chair parts. Fit the triangle brace into the joint. Shoot four evenly spaced pin nails through both legs of the triangle to secure it under the joint.
Things Needed
- Wood blocks, 3/4-by-2-by-2 inches
- Safety glasses
- Bandsaw
- Clamp
- Belt sander
- Belt, 100-grit
- Wood glue
- Pin nailer
- Pin nails, 1 1/4-inch
- Rubber gloves are advisable when sanding small parts on a belt sander.
- Color the supports with a stain marker before installing them on the chair. If you have the time, add supports to all the main joints on the chair, even if they don't appear to need them. You also may shoot pin nails directly through the joint for extra bracing.

Offering FRAMED and UNFRAMED options.
Print is 12x17 and the framed option is thin white with no mat.
This is an energy print of a Gui Fei Concubine Oolong called Jezebel drank during the Full Moon in Scorpio in May 2017. It is part of a monthly gift I get from the Global Tea Hut in Taiwan.
I create these prints because when you're sitting with tea you feel the living energy of the leaf coursing through your body, cup, after cup, you realize how much life force each leaf hold even after your cup is empty.
It felt like such a waste to discard these beautiful leaves after a session. Thus, I started creating prints in my journal each day after meditation, giving the leaf a renewed purpose and avenue to share its beauty. Each print is an infusion of what we just consumed.
The print is a tangible way to view the life-force of the leaf and the energy of the session. Even if I used the same tea every day, no two prints would be the same. You'll see this throughout the book.
This print is my creative and energetic offering in reverence of the gift that tea has given me.
This piece will ship directly to you from Framebridge. If you are interested in a different size or frame color please don't hesitate to reach out.

As part of your continuing care plan, it will be recommended you attend regular 12-step meetings for support and encouragement. Understanding the founding principles and the general meeting guidelines can help ease some fears and anxiety you might be facing.
The History of 12-Step Programs
Since the 1930s, 12-step programs have been an integral part of the treatment and aftercare plan for those coping with alcoholism and other substance use disorders. With roots in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), this program is probably the most widely-recognized, free support system for alcoholics. An estimated 1.2 million participate in the 55,000 AA meeting groups held across the country.
The model has been incredibly effective in creating an anonymous outlet for those with similar struggles to come together for guidance and fellowship.
What Happens in a 12-Step Meeting?
Your first fear may be that you're joining a cult. You're not. You may think you'll be forced to hug total strangers. You won't be. You may think you'll run into someone you know. You may. But anonymity is the code of conduct and is taken very seriously.
The meetings usually range between 60 to 90 minutes and although agendas can vary and different topics can arise based on the focus for the day, the founding spiritual principles of the 12 steps ring true throughout. This way, anyone, anywhere, can feel at home when they attend.
Meetings will open and close with prayer and members may share their own spiritual breakthroughs but everyone's beliefs are respected and there is a judgment-free setting for non-participation in prayer.
It is highly suggested that members read what is known as "The Big Book" Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of how Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism by Bill Wilson, one of the founders of AA.
From Intimidating to Life-changing
Ben* has been in recovery for nearly two years and admits that he was reluctant to attend his first 12-step meeting. In his mind, he was in treatment and that was what was going to "fix" him.
"My first meeting, I didn't understand why I was there," he explained. "I certainly didn't know the culture, and I felt like a needle in a haystack."
But slowly, the meetings have become a source of strength for him. The more he attended, the more comfortable he became.
"Little by little, I began to feel a part of the whole," he shared. "I began to understand how vital these meetings are to those struggling with addiction. Now, I can't live without them – literally. Although it was scary, confusing and a blow to my ego, it was what I needed and still need in order to live the life I've always envisioned."
In a further effort to make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible, you may want to select a home group that makes you feel most comfortable emotionally, socially and culturally. To find a meeting near you, check out Alcoholics Anonymous in Bowling Green.

In my March Wrap Up, I was somehow processing how quickly that particular month went by. I must admit this trend continues and I am still wrapping my mind around the fact that we are in May. 🙂 🙂
March was a fairly slow month reading-wise and April felt somehow even slower. It's not that I wouldn't enjoy reading at present. I just simply can not decide what I want to read, which usually results in me staring into nothingness and day dreaming instead. Not that I mind, it's just a bit hard to write book reviews when you are actually not reading anything. 🤔
Anyhow, James and I took a week and half off work at the end of April and enjoyed our time off in Dartmoor National Park – a vast moorland in the county of Devon, in southwest England. It was a serene experience, we would wake up to bird songs, enjoy the tranquillity of moors where wild ponies kept us the only company. Our dog loved it as well and keeps on telling me that we need to book another holiday sometime soon. I better listen! 😉
I managed to read three books in April. I must admit that I loved them all and despite my slow reading pace, there were highly enjoyable reads.
- Educated by Tara Westover, 5 stars Review here
This was the book of the month for me.
Educated is a powerful testament of how we can choose to stop being defined by our past. It is a thought provoking memoir that left me with a strong feeling of unease long after I finished reading it.
I'm still thinking about this book and have a feeling it may become the book of 2018. But let's not get ahead of ourselves… there are still many months to go… 😉
- Tangerine by Christine Mangan, 4 stars Review here
Tangerine is a psychological thriller that made me pause sometimes to fully digest what I just read. The relationship between two female protagonists was highly toxic and reading about it was unsettling at times. There were many mind games involved and I was engaged till the end.
- The Year of Less by Cait Flanders, 4 stars Review to follow next week
"The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store" was another enjoyable read.
It is not a 'How to' guide but rather a memoir documenting a year long journey of a self imposed shopping ban. I have been following Cait's blog for some time and really enjoy both her writing as well as her thought provoking topics. Its review is to follow next week, promise!
And that's April done and dusted.
Now over to you my friends.
What was your favourite book you read in April?

text: jonpet55 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) A while ago I decided to build a TwinStar II for FPV use. The plane is not ready to fly yet, but I hope to get it ready within a week. Actually the only thing missing is 30cm silicon wire for the left motor (I made 5 out of 6 cables, and went out of wire). The paintjob is done with black and silver acrylic spray paint. It will be equipped with the following gear: - AR7000 2.4GHz diversity R/C receiver - 4 x Hitec HS-81 - 2 x Turnigy 2213 20-turn brushless motor - 2 x TowerPro w25A ESC - 3A UBEC - 2 x Aluminium spinner - 2 x 9x6 APC propeller - 11.1V 4000mAh LiPo And the following FPV-equipment: - KX131 video camera - 1.3GHz (23cm) 1W video transmitter with a four radial GP-antenna - Totally custom OSD based on the BOB-4 video overlay board - EM-411 SiRFStar III GPS - TinyTrak 3 - 3A 5V switch mode regulator As said, the OSD uses a BOB-4 module for video overlay. I originally controlled the BOB-4 with a PIC16F88, but the increasing amount of float variable calculations and other demanding operations forced me to upgrade to a PIC18F1320. More technical information about the OSD will come later. It is now fully working (not as seen in picure 16 on the OSD-page below). The TinyTrak 3 is used to transmit lat./lon. and altitude to the ground station to calculate azimuth and elevation angles for the receiver antenna. I will proceed the development of this system as soon as the basic FPV/OSD system runs satisfiable. The AX.25 decoding on the ground is done with a PIC16F88, and the trigonometrical calculations is done with a PIC18F1320.

Jump Start Your Business Guarantee
*Jump Start Your Business Guarantee
After we create all of your listings, websites and services, we guarantee 1500 more leads in the first year over what you've currently been receiving.
New Leads to your business include all impressions and website visits, local listing visits (Places, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook) and new phone calls (documented through AdWords) above your current rate of lead generation.
New leads to your website, local listings (Google Places, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook Page, etc.), AdWords and unique AdWords phone are calculated by taking the total traffic for the 12 months prior to gAdviser starting work on your account and subtracting this total for the first 12 month gAdviser active period, the difference is the new traffic. If you don't have prior analytic traffic data and/or you don't immediately enable Google Analytics within 30 days from the start of our service, we will not be able to honor the guarantee because there will not be comparison data. However, we will do our best do document the new traffic that our work generates.
We guarantee 1500 new leads in the first year or we'll manage your Jump Start 1500 program until you get to 1500 new leads (above and beyond your current traffic). The twelve month period will start the first full month after all new services, listings, AdWords campaign and website work have been completed. You will also need to have funded your adwords campaign ($40 per month) as part of the setup process.
You must agree to install Google Analytics on your existing website and grant us access to your Google Analytics* and Analytics Reports. If you have Google Places*, Bing Local*, Yahoo Local*, Facebook Places* accounts, Facebook Company Profile Page(s)*, Google + Company Profile Page(s)* or websites, you also agree to give us access to those sites so we can create the necessary reports and make the changes.
How do we calculate your current traffic? It will be calculated by taking the total unpaid traffic for the past twelve months for each of the system(s) above*. If no data exists for website trafic, Google Analytics will be installed and tracked for one month (then multiplied by 12 to estimate the yearly traffic) before any of our optimization services begin. We will subtract the previous total from the total generated for our 12 month tracking period and then add our unique AdWords campaign to the difference to determine the total new impressions and leads which were created by our services.
For each of the systems above, an impression / lead is defined as follows:
1) Google Analytics for Website will be Unique Visitors
2) Business Listing Impressions for all Google Place(s), Facebook Company Place(s), Bing Local, Yahoo Local
3) Page views for Facebook Company profile Page(s) and Google Company profile Pages
Note if you choose one of our a la carte plans, the guarantee is prorated as outlined in that plan.

Our spotlight shines this week on three members of the Arizona Law community: student Calley Anderson, Prof. Robert Glennon, and alumnus Peter Culp. Enjoy!
Until the footnotes,
Calley Anderson is a 2L at the College of Law. And although she's a Tucson native, she attended Arizona State for her undergraduate degree, and then again for a Master's in Education.
Prior to law school, she was a Teach for America corps member and also taught special education at an elementary school in Phoenix. Despite her educational experiences in Phoenix - both in and out of the classroom - when she decided to go to law school, there was only one choice.
"The Arizona Law campus was more than welcoming when I visited, and most of my family lives in Arizona, so I knew I wanted to stay here and practice after graduation," Calley said. "After going to college and working in Phoenix for several years, I wanted to come back to my hometown for law school."
"I thought if I was going to be studying and reading for the next three years," she added, "I might as well do it in such a beautiful city!"
Calley immediately connected with the local legal community. "In the first month of law school, I became involved with UA's National Lawyers Guild and the various legal referral clinics the organization operates around Tucson. The clinics provide practical experience for law students and a chance to escape the classroom and give back to the community in a powerful way."
Since she plans to become a prosecutor, Calley has focused on courses and co-curricular activities offered in the College's strong Program in Criminal Law and Policy, known colloquially as PCLP ("P-clip"). She'll graduate with a certificate from the program, showing that she has completed a required curriculum, a substantial analytical paper, and extensive experience working in the field.
Outside of school, she likes spending as much time as possible outside, and wishes it was a shorter drive to the beach. So she created her own beach here in Tucson. "I joined an intramural sand volleyball team with a few other classmates, and even though we did not have a terribly great season, it was still a fun way to get out of the library for a few hours." You can find more information on Calley on her LinkedIn Profile.
Regents' Professor and Morris K. Udall Professor in Law and Public Policy Robert Glennon has been teaching water law and policy at the University of Arizona since 1985. Having achieved international renown, his books are critically acclaimed for being both research-based and highly readable. He's also in demand as a speaker worldwide, and, because of all of this, he's actually shaping the debate on water law.
His 2009 book, "Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It," was chosen last October as the Cal State Chico University Book in Common for 2012-2013. In early October, CSU Chico hosted Robert for several events culminating in a public address before around 800 people. Robert's 2002 book, "Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping and the Fate of America's Fresh Waters," helped to define an entire area that had been, well, submerged.
In early 2012, he spent three months on sabbatical in Australia and New Zealand - speaking, researching, and enjoying the spectacular landscapes. And while the discussions of Australian water law were interesting, he did not return with a "break-through insight" that could be easily adapted to the United States.
"It turns out that folks in Australia and New Zealand also put their pants on one leg at a time." He does admit, however, that, "A personal high point was snorkeling and scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Magical."
In October 2012, Robert published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, coauthored with Arizona Law alumnus Peter Culp ('01) (I talk with Peter in the Alumni News section below).
"Parched in the West but Shipping Water to China, Bale by Bale" highlighted the new market for shipping alfalfa to China. "Because our trade imbalance is so skewed, it actually costs less to ship a ton of alfalfa from Long Beach to Beijing than it does to ship that alfalfa from California's Imperial Valley to California's Central Valley," he said. "California is mired in drought but California farmers are using tens of billions of gallons of water to grow the alfalfa that they ship to China."
This year, Robert has speaking events in New Orleans; Phoenix; Palo Alto; Glendale, Arizona; North Platte, Nebraska; Las Vegas; and Spokane. Two specific keynotes include the ABA's 31st Annual Water Law Conference and the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation's 59th Annual Institute.
You can hear a recent interview by Bill Buckmaster with Robert here. And be sure to listen for him on NPR's Marketplace which is scheduled to air in the next couple of weeks. Here is a link to Robert's Regents' video, In Defense of Water, on the College of Law YouTube channel.
As a partner in the Phoenix office of Squire Sanders, Peter Culp's practice focuses on water and natural resources law, environmental law, and federal Indian law. He represents a broad spectrum of clients in traditional matters but is also heavily oriented towards the development of state and federal policy in water, natural resources, and public lands, including a great deal of work related to the law of the Colorado River. He has also recently joined the national Board of Visitors for the College.
Since 2004, Peter has served the Governor's office on Arizona's Colorado River Advisory Commission. He said, "For the past six years, I've been part of a binational working group under the US Department of State's International Boundary and Water Commission, which works to develop and implement new binational strategies for the management of Colorado River water."
"As part of this work, I've been closely involved in the development, negotiation, and implementation of four new international agreements that have significantly re-shaped the relationship between the US and Mexico with regard to water resources."
In fact, Peter was among those honored with a 2009 Partners in Conservation Award from US Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar for his participation in the negotiation of a new agreement with regard to Colorado River management.
Peter was driven to law school by an interest in working on natural resource issues - particularly the growing challenges associated with scarce resources like water in the West. "As a prominent school in the greater Southwest, I decided that the University of Arizona would be an ideal place to explore this interest, particularly with regard to the management of the Colorado River, which had long been a fascination of mine."
The collegial atmosphere of Arizona Law and its tight-knit community of students appealed to him. "The engaged faculty for whom teaching was a clear priority also matched well with what I wanted out of my law school experience - a chance to learn a new profession, a new way of thinking, and develop a network of contacts in the law community in a collaborative, supportive environment." He added, "And of course, that generous scholarship program made it impossible to resist."
Even today, Peter still relies on his Arizona Law education. "I call on the skills and information that I took away from law school every single day. U of A offered classes in water law, advanced federal Indian law, environmental law, mining and public lands law, and other disciplines that helped me hit the ground running in practice in some complex and nuanced areas of law and policy."
"Also, although my practice is focused on water and natural resource issues, the excellent training I received in constitutional law, civil procedure, mediation and negotiation, tax, insurance, and many other areas has proved invaluable to me time after time."
Peter also worked for a short time as an in-house attorney for the Sonoran Institute, a nonprofit organization that works on land and water policy issues in the intermountain West.
In addition to the recent articles with Robert Glennon, Robert and Peter authored a widely-cited article when Peter was a student at the College of Law, "The Last Green Lagoon: How and why the Bush Administration Should Save the Colorado River Delta" (2002).
The Admissions Process
We have admitted students for next fall's class - the class of 2016. Others continue to apply, and we welcome additional applications. At this stage in the process applicants are assessing their options. The next key deadline is for first deposit, on April 6. Thanks to all of you who are working with the law school to talk with applicants about what it means now to become a lawyer, and why Arizona Law is a good place to learn the law.
If you are interested in getting involved with admissions or other aspects of the College, please contact us.

Metal Products Used In Construction Work
Construction work of any time has to be created with quality in mind. If quality is not given its proper attention during the time someone creates some property with construction work that property cannot be expected to last long. Sometimes it can last but it may not have all the facilities one expects to have from such a structure. Since quality matters a lot for any kind of a construction project, professionals are careful about the products they use. Among these products metal products hold a very special place as they directly affect the strength of the structure which is being built.
There are a couple of areas in a construction project where you can see the use of metal products.
For the Flight of Steps in the Building
A building with a number of floors is always going to have flights of steps to connect these floors. For those steps at a structure steel stair stringers are used. This choice is made to keep the flights of steps in the best condition for a long time. They also increase the strength of the building. When you use such a metal structure for the flights of steps in a building the time you have to spend creating it is also going to go down as not much construction work is to be done on the spot.
For the Supports in the Building
Every building needs to have supports in it where we are talking about the pillars in the structure or the roof of the building. These days most of these supports, especially in large buildings, are created using metal poles. That has actually made the structure stronger than before. As the metal poles can be arranged to fit any size and shape you get the chance to have the right kind of supports for your building at any time.
For the Garden
Even your garden creation can be done using the help of metal products at times. We all know how important it is to have a good garden barrier around any garden. It helps to keep your property private. There are now lastest galvanised steel fence posts used for this purpose. They are high in quality, good in looks and can be used as you want to. This makes them a top choice for garden barrier creation work. Every building is using a lot of metal products to improve the quality of the structure. As long as the quality of these metal products is great you will get the desired results by using them.

The following article was published by Reidar Visser, an historian of Iraq educated at the University of Oxford and currently based at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs. It is reproduced here with the author's permission. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.
As Iraqi parliamentarians reconvened for their first session of 2012 today, the full spectrum of ongoing political crises were on display.
Symptomatically, the basic facts of who attended and who did not at times took precedence over the substantial content of the session. In the first place, the secular and increasingly Sunni-backed Iraqiyya party remained absent. A comfortable quorum was nonetheless reached with around 180 deputies present from the Shiite Islamists, the secular White Iraqiyya breakaway faction from Iraqiyya, and the Kurds.
That did not last long, however. Protesting against statements by Hussein al-Asadi, an ally of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the Kurds withdrew from the session, demanding an apology from Asadi. Asadi had accused the Iraqi president, Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, of illegally providing shelter for the newly indicted Tareq al-Hashemi, the Sunni vice-president, thereby supposedly violating the anti-terrorism law.
Other members of the Shiite Islamist parties including Maliki's own State of Law alliance intervened and provided assurances that Asadi would not attend parliament until he had recanted. The Kurds promptly returned to the session.

Did Phaedra break up with Apollo after discovering he had a sidechick and was a con-man?!
Phaedra Parks Allegedly Separated From Apollo Theft
Via Reality Tea reports:
With the shocking arrest of Apollo Nida for embezzlement, bank fraud, conspiracy, and identity theft, we're gasping for breath! Many are wondering if Phaedra Parks is involved, how much she knew, will the couple stay married, or will Phaedra be charged next? And of course there are as many rumors surrounding Phaedra and Apollo's situation as there are charges.
Rumor One: Apollo and Phaedra have been separated for months.
Way back in September, Apollo's car was searched and his laptop seized by the feds. A few weeks after learning of his criminal activity, Phaedra reportedly kicked Apollo out of the house and limited their interaction to media appearances and co-parenting for the sake of their joint endeavors such as Phine Body.
Interesting, considering the two attended Kandi Burruss' New Years Eve party together and have been spotted numerous times at various events, such as the recent inauguration of the Atlanta mayor and a trip to NYC to see Kandi in Newsicals. Phaedra also posted a photo celebrating her birthday with Apollo. But as many have pointed out there are no photos of the couple at home in the last few months!
Phae talked about moving her life in a more positive direction at the top of the year in her Bravo blog…
Via Bravo Blog:
Happy New Year! Last year was awesome and I know 2014 will be even more spectacular. As always, my life has been moving at meteorite speed. Between my family, work, and social commitments, the little free time I have is devoted to some much needed sleep. Every New Year, many of us reflect and resolve to do better and more than the prior year. In 2014, I aspire to be a better mother, wife, friend, and servant to my community.
Now that I have finally finished mortuary school, I have been touring my book and meeting many loyal supporters. Having the opportunity to personally speak with supporters has been incredibly rewarding. With each story and introduction my life is enriched.
We wouldn't be surprised if fake Phaedra really has been living a lie and only kept the marriage for the sake of her position on RHOA. Hit the flip to peep more about Apollo's alleged mistress and his dirty dog ways next!

House and Senate GOP leadership are taking fire from all sides for publicly pressuring Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke not to further loosen monetary policy, even if he thinks it will help the economy.
In a Tuesday letter to Bernanke, leaked to the press, Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ), and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), ostentatiously cautioned Bernanke against providing the economy any further monetary stimulus.
"[W]e submit that the board should resist further extraordinary intervention in the U.S. economy, particularly without a clear articulation of the goals of such a policy, direction for success, ample data proving a case for economic action and quantifiable benefits to the American people," the Republicans write.Because the Fed's monetary policy decisions are expressly intended to be immune to political pressures the letter has generated backlash from Democrats and Republicans alike.
"Even if I agreed with GOP letter (I don't) I'd still disagree with the effort to put public political pressure on Bernanke," wrote former George W. Bush spokesman and Treasury Department official Tony Fratto on Twitter. "Twist, shout…whatever…Ben Bernanke should do exactly what he thinks is right to even marginally impact the U.S. economy."
"This is a heavyhanded attempt to meddle in the Fed's independent stewardship of monetary policy," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). "It should be ignored by Chairman Bernanke and the Fed's policymakers."
And indeed the Fed is meant to shrug away this sort of political intervention. For months, though, the Fed has been reluctant to address the full employment side of its dual mandate to maintain price stability and keep unemployment low. The intent of the letter is to maintain that reluctance. The message, both to Bernanke and every member of the Federal Open Market Committee — watch your step. The GOP primary contenders have already taken blood oaths against Bernanke and the goal here is to make it clear the GOP will make sure there are political and/or professional repercussions if Bernanke doesn't desist.
The Fed is expected to announce its policy on Wednesday afternoon.
