"5/5. We are thrilled with the event as a whole and the band added to that, thank you to the lads for putting on a brilliant show! We have received excellent feedback, we will be booking again for sure!"Sarah - Corporate Event - Epsom Downs Racecourse
The band were brilliant as the evening band on our wedding day - they were very chilled and flexible that we were running over time. Created a perfect fun vibe on the dance floor, which as a result was never empty! Our friend even commented he'd "seen quieter stages at Glastonbury"! Really talented guys, we received a lot of compliments on them. So pleased we booked them and would highly recommend!Marie Turner and Simon Lane - Wedding, Red Barn, Surrey
5/5 I couldn't fault Indigo Heights - they were absolutely FANTASTIC. They had everyone on the dancefloor, were super friendly and adaptable, coped with our ever changing schedule with a smile on their faces and were just a highlight of the day. Our friends and family have been full of compliments for them - I can't believe I was toying with going with a DJ instead of a band at one point. Please send our huge thanks to them :-)Laura - Wedding, Burrows Lea Country House, Surrey
5/5 We received so many compliments from our guests about this band! Great interaction with our guests and approachable and flexible with our timings, making us feel totally at ease on our wedding day. Much better than we had imagined!Annika - Wedding, Lavant House, Chichester
OMG what a night! They were absolutely fantastic and got the party started and then some!

I have a feeling they may be back in Devon soon for some of my engaged friends! Sophie - Wedding, Yurtcamp, Devon
Very positive feedback from me. The band were very good. On time, polite, friendly and a very good performance. Also the service from Tailored Entertainment was very professional and thorough. I would recommend both Indigo Heights and Tailored Entertainment.Laurence - Private Party, Rainham Cricket Club, Kent

Thank you so much to Indigo Heights who did an amazing performance at our wedding.

The band were great at getting our guests dancing and even had one up singing with them. They sounded amazing and we had lots of guests asking for their details. We would definitely recommend!Emma Rackley - Wedding, The Moonraker Hotel, Trowbridge

Band was amazing and you all made it stress free in the build up so will definitely be recommending you to anyone who wants a band for an event.Matthew Turnbull - Wedding, Royal Berkshire Hotel, Berkshire
Getting married away from our home town meant we were heavily reliant on Tailored Made Entertainment as an agency we could use to choose our wedding band and music is a massive part of our lives. We loved how user friendly the website was with videos of the bands and lists of their repertoire. This gave us a fantastic idea of what the bands were like and we could not have been happier with our choice. Indigo Heights were the band we chose. They were the utmost professionals, kinds, humorous and genuine. It seemed like they just absolutely loved what they do. Every member of our wedding was on the dance floor, in fact we couldn't all fit on and so many of our guests have complimented the band since and asked how we found such an amazing band. They made the day even better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you so much Tailored Entertainment for being so clear in communication and Indigo Heights for being such a brilliant, professional and talented band.Emily Slade - Wedding, Slebech Park, Haverfordwest
Absolutely amazing! They kept the party rocking all night. Many guests have asked for the band's details for their own events. Great guys, great fun!Jenna Fulton - Wedding, The Elvetham Hotel, Hook
Band's live performance was excellent, they had everyone on the dance floor from the moment they started playing and really made the evening.Laura Hill - Wedding, Mellow Farm, Surrey
We used Tailored Entertainment to provide a band for our wedding party and they did not disappoint. Amy and Erin were absolutely fantastic throughout the booking process and always very quick to respond to queries. There were no hiccups at all. The band, Indigo Heights, were absolutely superb - great performance, interaction with the crowd and excellent range of songs. 5* review all round from us.Adam Dawes - Wedding, The Italian Villa, Dorset
The band were all very friendly and happy to speak to the brides and answer questions. They had everyone up on dance floor dancing and lots of people commented on them and how good they were. One of the members even got up and had a dance with everyone too. Got off to a later start then planned but they set up quickly so did not miss out on too much time. Overall very happy with them all and glad we choose them to play at our wedding. Would recommend them.Anne-Marie Culbertson - Wedding, Hilton Avisford Park, Arundel
The band were fantastic, we lost count of the number of people that complimented them. We would 100% recommend them, the dance floor was full all night.Jon Thorn - Wedding, The Hare and Hounds Hotel, Tetbury
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! Wow! How utterly amazing were Indigo Heights! We always say a band can make a party and they certainly made ours. Their range of songs were spot on and I loved the interaction the singer had with the guests. We would not hesitate to recommend Indigo Heights. We have some great photos of the band so please let us know if you would like us to send them to you.Jo Rose - Wedding, The Tithe Barn, Gloucestershire
Indigo Heights played at our wedding and were absolutely brilliant! The band were really lovely and gave a fantastic performance. The dance floor was full all night! They did a superb job of our first dance song (Green Eyes - Coldplay). Thanks so much guys!!!Amelia - Wedding, The Gathering Barn, Wiltshire
We wanted to say a HUGE thanks to Indigo Heights for their performance at our wedding at Careys Manor! We loved both the acoustic set and the evening band set. The band had so much energy and clearly wanted to give us a fantastic evening of dancing, and we had so many positive comments from our guests on the music. We would definitely recommend them!Hannah - Wedding, Carey's Manor Hotel, The New Forest
Phenomenal band, a number of compliments from guests at the wedding.Katie - Wedding, The Winding House, Dover
Indigo Heights were amazing and capped off our special day. Great music, great vocals and interactive. So many of our guests asked us for their details so expect future bookings!Amy & Mike - Wedding, Nunsmere Hall, Cheshire
I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?
Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire covers classics from the '60s right up to current chart, so there's certainly something for everyone.
Do you take requests?
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
How long do you take to set-up?
Up to 90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
What time do you play?
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
How long do you play for?
We perform 2x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Can you provide music for our drinks reception?
Yes - we can perform a 1x 60-minute acoustic live lounge-style set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.
Do you have your own PA and lighting?
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
What is the website guide price based on?
The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Portsmouth. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?
Will you perform our first dance?
Yes, as long as we have two weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
How much space do you require?
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.
How much power do you require?
2 x 13-amp sockets is fine for our system.
Do I need to provide food/drinks?
Ideally soft drinks and a hot meal or buffet. However, this is certainly not a deal breaker so if you can't provide this, just let us know in advance and we'll bring food & drink with us.
Can we see you play live before booking?
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight in to our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

As one of many products on the market for the treatment of male pattern baldness, or hair loss in general, the HairMax Lasercomb claims it will help men and women to regrow hair.
The website for this product is very impressive. They boast clinical studies, tout the fact they have been cleared by the FDA to market their product to both men and women, and show testimonials and before and after photos. A bit of digging, though, makes the website seem strange.
There are asterisks all over the place, and none of them are quite ever explained. Even though anyone can safely backup their claim that shining a laser on one's head is, indeed, something that does not use chemicals or drugs, it is still hard to decide whether this product is worth the investment.
Before and after photos will not let you get a closer look, and even though they claim their product has a ninety-three percent success rate, they still have the disclaimer on nearly every page that says the results depicted or talked about on that said page are not typical, and that each individual cannot expect those kinds of results. It would seem that, for a product so expensive, and with such a wide "clinically proven" success rate, that they would be more confident in the results.
A far cheaper, and more effective, option is to try out Provillus, which has a formula for both men and women, is affordable, and has been proven to work very well for hair growth time and time again.
Despite the claims, the first thing that turns many customers away from this product is its price. The typical lasercomb can cost hundreds of dollars, even though some reviewers claim the product seems flimsy. Many who used this product for an extended amount of time saw little to no hair regrowth.
I have only started using the HairMax Prima 7 LaserComb this past week - based on limited use I can't say anything about my hair growing in again, or growing in thicker etc. but, this device is super easy to use and really doesn't take long for each treatment. Also, I am enjoying the shampoo and conditioner - they make my hair feel soft and fluffier and it looks shiny. Just started with the vitamins. Once I have been taking the vitamins for a while and have given the lasercomb adequate time to do its thing, I will let you know if it is helping me regrow hair I have lost due to illness and anxiety over said illness. (Sandra Lee Roberts - Amazon Review)
Been using this for 2 weeks now, of course I haven't seen any results yet, but what I CAN say is that it is handy, it has this beep that tells you the exact time you gotta shift the position of the combing,and it comes with the shampoo, conditioner, scalp treatment and vitamins. I can tell you that the shampoo really makes my hair thicker than usual, so I suppose the rest of the products must work too... 6 months from now I'll see the real results... then, updates will follow. (Rodrigo O. - Amazon Review)
An FDA clinical study of the effectiveness of such treatments, when not paired with another proven hair loss treatment method, actually showed that users of the lasercomb saw less hair regrowth results than those in the placebo group of the study. Even according to the manufacturer, you must use this comb for at least 10 weeks on a daily basis before seeing any type of results.
And after that length of treatment, again, even the manufacturer claims you cannot always see the results in photography taken of those undergoing treatment. Your best bet, if you are experiencing hair loss, is to talk to your doctor about proven methods of treatment, and probably skip this particular product.
For best results, give Provillus a try, it's safe, effective, and easy on the wallet! It's our #1 recommended hair regrowth treatment option!
Based on the information we discovered relating to the HairMax Lasercomb, coupled with the generally negative customer reviews, we believe it's safe to say that this product is one to skip trying. The website makes a lot of wild claims but also throws disclaimers in your face that make it obvious that they know their product doesn't work well for everyone. And customers have basically had nothing good to say about it, either.
To save yourself a ton of money and disappointment, be sure to check out Provillus. It's much more affordable, it's not a gimmick like most laser combs are, and there are treatment formulas for both men and women available. It's a pretty solid product that has received rave reviews from both major cosmetic outlets and customers. It's well worth trying. Another option is supplement-based hair growth vitamins if you are open to the idea of taking extra vitamins to initiate hair growth.

Thank you for checking out my Wealthy Affiliate University review. Have you heard of it? Have you heard of Wealthy Affiliate? The story is that Wealthy Affiliate University can teach you how to succeed in affiliate marketing.
It is not only for the newbiest of newbs, but is also for those with experience as well as everyone in between. I can vouch for it being beginner friendly. When I first joined 6 months ago I didn't even really know what affiliate marketing was.
I have been there 6 months and I figure it is time for me to give my honest opinion. I have had plenty of time to do the training and implement what I have learned.
Overview and Rankings – The Proof Is In The Numbers
Owners Kyle and Carson
Website URL www.https://wealthyaffiliate.com
Training 4.8 out of 5.0
Support 5.0 out of 5.0
Website builder 4.9 out of 5.0
WordPress hosting 4.8 out of 5.0
Research tools 4.6 out of 5.0
Success stories 4.5 out of 5.0
Price for starter membership FREE or Premium $49.00 a month or $359.00 for a yearly membership at a huge discount.
Is It REALLY User Friendly
When I initially joined I was still in my skeptical stage of course. To top it off I really had no idea of what I was to do or where to start.
The community sort of dog piled me (in a good way). I was welcomed by many and my mentor was among the ones welcoming me and filling me in on where to start.
It was AMAZING! I started my training and was flabbergasted when I realized that the training was given be one of the co-owners, Kyle. Below is the Get Started Video if you would like to check it out.
As you can tell from watching the video. Kyle explains everything in a way that almost anyone can understand. Even if you don't know anything about building and online business.
Kyle does most of the training for wealthy Affiliate University. There are videos to ensure you get a visual sense of how to do what he is explaining.
Best Training Platform Around
There are so many great benefits to the training provided at Wealthy Affiliate University. I have been a part of other programs that didn't even come close to what I was offered here.
I am sure you are wondering how I was a newbie/beginner if I had tried other programs in the past. Let me ask you this. Have you tried other programs? If you have, then I am willing to bet you felt like you were thrown to the wolves.
Someone with experience may have had an easier time, but if you are doing it for your first time, the training on other programs are not beginner friendly like they claim to be.
You are left not knowing where to start let alone what to do. If you do find your way, you can't understand because the person doing the training doesn't even sound human, and the videos only show partial steps that you need to take.
The training is out-of-date, they don't SHOW you how to properly complete the task that you are learning. Setting up a website shouldn't consist of coding or using complicated downloaded themes.
That is for the stone age. Let alone the price you have to pay for everything to create your business, providing you do understand what to do and how to do it.
This is why I was still a beginner when I happened to find Wealthy Affiliate. I had almost given up, as I had searched for years, here and there. If you would like to know where I am coming from, feel free to read about me.
The training at Wealthy Affiliate University, is nothing like that. You are provided with step by step training by video and text with pictures. They recently developed a new UX which is even more beginner friendly than it was before.
You can practically get to everywhere you need to go within the platform from your main page. How awesome is that? The walk through video shows you where everything is. The video was updated when the new platform was released.
There are training videos to go with each step. You also have boxes that you check off so that you know where you left off. This will also allow the system to keep up where you are at with the training.
When you want to go back to where you were it will show you, just click on it and boom, your there. As a premium member, you can go through the training however many times you need.
There are also weekly live training done by Jay. He gives you extra training for many items that you cover in training. Another added bonus is that there are members who also create training.
I can feel this entire page talking about the training. I am not kidding when I say that you will learn EVERYTHING that you need to know about getting your website/business up and going.
Building A Website With Ease-Meet WordPress
WordPress is by far the best and easiest website builder by far. I once had to try to build a website, as a beginner, with the Adobe Dreamweaver. That was NOT happening.
During my beginner days here, I was laughing when I heard Kyle say that I was going to set my website up in less than 30 seconds.
It was no joke. He was serious. I could not believe my eyes. I was so impressed with myself and with Kyle. After all the programs I had tried throughout the years, I had finally created my first website at the age of 48. Heck yeah.
Choosing my theme was a different story, because of the stress I put on myself due to this being something I had never done before.
Kyle said not to put a lot of time into it. Just pick one that will work with your niche. I decided after awhile to take his advice, and I love the theme I have. It isn't complicated and does what I need.
You will have thousands of themes to choose from (as a premium member) and you can change them if you decide you don't like the one you chose.
You will have access to tons of free plugins and widgets, everything you need to get your site the way you want it. You can add social media buttons that will show up on every page/post you create, with the ability to share right from the post/page itself.
Everything is included in the membership if you join the premium membership at Wealthy Affiliate University. No hidden fees and no upsells. Of course there are pro versions available, but I haven't had the need to buy any of them.
Where else can you get everything WordPress has to offer (included in the premium for WAU a low monthly cost0? Not to mention getting the All In One SEO pack
Getting Traffic
When I said I could fill this page with just the training, I wasn't joking. The team (owners and members) at this university, know their stuff.
Getting social is one of the lessons you will have. Learning where and how to get traffic is a huge bonus when it comes to setting up your online business.

Smoke forces evacuation of Shelton nursing home
SHELTON -- A burned-out motor in an air handler created a smoke condition at Shelton Lakes nursing home early Wednesday morning that at first made it appear the facility was on fire, according to one fire official.
"The call came in as a structure fire, and the first thing [the firefighters] saw was white hazy smoke," Assistant Chief Nick Verdicchio said. That prompted them to call out all four of the city's fire companies, as well as mutual aid from Derby and Ansonia.
Sixteen patients in the affected wing were evacuated, and a triage area was set up to administer to them, Verdicchio said. "All checked out fine," he said. "There were no injuries."
It took about an hour to clear the smoke, he said.

COPENHAGEN - Copenhagen police said Sunday they believe a man shot dead by officers was responsible for two fatal attacks that shocked the normally peaceful Danish capital.
The killings, coming little more than a month after bloody attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead, were described by Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt as "a cynical act of terror".
The man believed to be behind the assaults was shot dead after he opened fire on police officers near a rail station, a spokesman said, without giving details about his identity.
It came after a 55-year-old man was killed at a panel discussion about Islam and free speech on Saturday attended by the Swedish cartoonist behind controversial caricatures.
In the second attack, a young Jewish man was killed outside Copenhagen's main synagogue early Sunday. Five police officers were wounded in the two attacks.
"We believe the same man was behind both shootings and we also believe that the perpetrator who was shot by the police action force at Noerrebro station is the person behind the two attacks," senior police official Torben Moelgaard Jensen told a press conference.
The first lethal attacks on Danish soil in decades were branded "deplorable" by the United States and triggered condemnation around the world.
"We have tried the ugly taste of fear and powerlessness which terror hopes to create," Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt told a briefing, saying Denmark was experiencing "a day of sorrow".
"We will defend our democracy and we will defend Denmark at any time," she said.
Lars Vilks, whose controversial cartoons sparked worldwide protests in 2007, had been among the speakers at the Krudttoenden cultural centre when a man opened fire Saturday.
The killing of the suspected perpetrator capped a massive police manhunt launched after the gunman fled the scene following both shootings.
The shootout took place shortly before dawn in the neighbourhood of Noerrebro, where police had been keeping an address under observation.
Police said video surveillance had led them to believe that the man killed by armed police was behind both attacks, but that they were still investigating whether he was acting alone.
The shooting came at the end of a night of fear that had gripped the city of about one million, which had been spared major attacks in recent years.
The central area of Copenhagen that is home to both the synagogue and Noerreport station, the country's busiest rail hub, was cordoned off by police carrying machine guns.
Swedish security services told AFP they were on alert for any attempt by a suspect to cross the bridge linking Denmark with Sweden.
Increased controls introduced at the border with Germany were relaxed after the killing of the suspected perpetrator, Denmark's TV2 reported.
Michael Gelvan, chairman of the Nordic Jewish Security Council, told AFP the victim at the synagogue was a young Jewish man who had been providing security for a ceremony.
Danish police had released a photo of the suspect in the cultural centre attack, wearing a black puffer jacket and a maroon balaclava and carrying a black bag.
The windows of the cultural centre were pockmarked by bullet holes, and the BBC released chilling audio of the moment a speaker at the event was interrupted by a volley of gunshots.
France's ambassador to Denmark, Francois Zimeray, who was present at the debate but was unhurt, told AFP the shooting was an attempt to replicate the January 7 attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris.
"They shot from the outside (and) had the same intention as Charlie Hebdo, only they didn't manage to get in," he said.
"Intuitively I would say there were at least 50 gunshots, and the police here are saying 200," he said.
"Bullets went through the doors and everyone threw themselves to the floor."
Police initially said two suspects had fled the cultural centre in a Volkswagen Polo. The car was found abandoned around two hours after the attack.
Before the presumed attacker was shot dead, the Danish premier said: "Everything leads us to believe that the shooting was a political attack and therefore a terrorist act."
The shootings come at a time of heightened security and rising fears of Islamist violence in Europe. Dozens of suspected jihadists have been arrested across Europe since mid-January and stocks of weapons and explosives have been uncovered.
Vilks has been living under police protection after his controversial cartoons prompted death threats.
Charlie Hebdo columnist Patrick Pelloux voiced dismay over the attack at the debate Vilks had been attending, saying: "We are all Danish tonight." He urged artists not to succumb to self-censorship out of fear, telling AFP: "We must stand firm and not be afraid."
According to Danish broadcaster TV2, the suspected gunman was 22-year-old and born and raised in Denmark.
The man was known to police due to his involvement in gangs, according to the TV station.

The ability to repay rule (ATR) is part of Regulation Z – Truth in Lending Act (TILA). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a final rule about ATR in January 2013, and the rule became effective in January 2014. The basis of the ATR is the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), and it generally requires creditors to make a reasonable, good faith determination of a consumer's ability to repay any consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling and establishes certain protections from liability under this requirement for "qualified mortgages". The rule requires creditors to keep a record of their compliance for a period of three years after a loan is closed.
Transactions that are not covered by the ATR include an open-end credit plan, timeshare plan, reverse mortgage, or temporary loan (such as a construction or bridge loan). In the same Dodd-Frank Rules, the CFPB set limits on prepayment penalties.
Under the ATR there are eight underwriting factors that must be considered to meet the requirements of the rule. Creditors may also consider other factors, but, should show certain evidence that the eight specified factors have been addressed.
The eight factors include the following:
1) Current or reasonably expected income or assets (other than the value of the property that secures the loan) that the consumer will rely on to repay the loan.
2) Current employment status (if you rely on employment income when assessing the consumer's ability to repay).
3) Projected monthly mortgage payment for this loan. You calculate this using the introductory or fully-indexed rate, whichever is higher, and monthly, fully-amortizing payments that are substantially equal.
4) Projected monthly payment on any simultaneous loans secured by the same property.
5) Monthly payments for property taxes and insurance that you require the consumer to buy, and certain other costs related to the property such as homeowners association fees or ground rent.
6) Debts, alimony, and child-support obligations.
7) Monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income, that you calculated using the total of all of the mortgage and non-mortgage obligations listed above, as a ratio of gross monthly income.

There's nothing about TumbleGonk that makes you think, "That's a great idea!" Or, "That's really well done!" It just looks like some student project that was done in a few days and now the author is trying to cash in. It is incredibly uninspiring.
Unfortunately I don't think there's a fix for that.

Whoops! Selfie with the Golden Arches cost teen $500
A TEENAGER scaled McDonald's family restaurant at Currimundi for the sake of a photo.
Tristan Sean Ferguson told the Maroochydore Magistrates Court that he climbed on to the roof of the restaurant on January 21 because he wanted to get a photo with the "big M".
Ferguson, 18, of Caloundra, said he was drunk, with his mates, and "pumped up."
Police prosecutor Sergeant Shane Raison said officers spotted Ferguson on the roof about 1.15am while searching the area for someone involved in another matter. Officers approached him after he jumped down and began walking away with two other people.
Ferguson told the officers "it seemed like a fun thing to do" and he was showing off to his mates.
Ferguson was charged with unregulated high risk activity. He pleaded guilty and was fined $500 without a conviction being recorded.
Magistrate John Hodgins said he did not encourage the behaviour but "I'm not going to lecture you about safety."

If your franchise agreement is terminated for a breach of contract, is there anything to stop you launching a rival business? Grid Law founder David Walker explains to one ex-franchisee the restrictions that may be in place.
"I wonder if you can advise – I have just had my franchise agreement terminated citing breach of franchise agreement. I do not agree that I have breached it, but do not have the legal fees to fight it.
"Part of the agreement was a restrictive covenant on both me and my spouse who was not a signatory to the franchise agreement and the franchise agreement is only in my name. Would this be enforceable under UK Law?"
Thank you for your question.
Without a some more details, I can't give any definitive advice here so I'm going to make some assumptions and give some general advice.
The first assumption is that the restrictive covenant is included in the agreement to prevent you from setting up a competing business after the franchise agreement has been terminated. However, it could just be a restriction to prevent you from using any confusingly similar branding or the franchisor's business system in your own business.
As explained in a previous article (When are non-compete clauses enforceable), to be enforceable, restrictive covenants must fulfil three criteria.
- There must be a legitimate business interest to protect
- The restrictions must be no wider than is necessary to protect that legitimate interest
- They must not be contrary to public policy (i.e., would the customers of the business be unduly affected if the restrictions were enforced?)
In your case, the franchisor is likely to have invested time, effort and money into building their business so this will be a legitimate interest that they are entitled to protect.
What's reasonable to protect that interest is looked at on a case by case basis, depending on the type of business.
So, for example, there may be restrictions on you setting up a competing business for a defined period of time, or perhaps you cannot open a similar business within a defined location or radius of the franchise business.
Whilst reasonable restrictions are likely to be enforceable against you, the franchisee, I think it's very unlikely that they would be enforceable against your spouse who didn't agree to them.
However, I'm assuming that you're asking this question as your spouse would like to start a competing business.
You still need to be careful here. If your spouse was involved in your franchise business and had knowledge of how the system worked, using it in a competing business could possibly be an infringement of the franchisor's intellectual property rights or their trade secrets.
Also, the restrictive covenant may be worded in such a way that you can have nothing to do with a competing business. This means that you couldn't work in your spouse's business or have any connection to it.
I hope this helps and if you can provide me with some more details, I will happily take another look at this for you.

J.J. Ruffino knows the toll unexpected events can take on a business.
In the past month, J.J.'s liquor stores in Bryan and College Station have been hit by robbers twice.
"Thank God they did not take a huge amount of cash in either one of these robberies," Ruffino said, noting that the losses were covered by insurance.
Most businesses are unprepared for a burglary or a range of other threats, said Sam Cox, training manager for the industrial security program and public safety and security division of the Texas Engineering Extension Service.
Cox is the content developer for two new courses being offered through the Continuing and Professional Studies Office at Texas A&M University that are designed to prepare business owners for the worst.
A vulnerability assessment course, which costs $795 and will run from April 22-24 at Texas A&M, will teach business owners and personnel to identify and protect assets, such as key employees, records and information technology-related processes, Cox said.
A business continuity course, which will be held May 14-15 at Prairie View A&M University, will help businesses plan for their recovery in the aftermath of a major event, he said. Enrollment is $625.
Cox said the vulnerability assessment course will address ways, such as buying insurance, to reduce the impact of unexpected events.
"You might buy $100,000 worth of insurance," he said, "but maybe you aren't buying enough."
Ruffino said he didn't have enough insurance to cover a major theft 15 years ago.
"We had an inside job with an employee that decided to stay inside my store New Year's Eve," Ruffino said. "He had access to a great deal of cash, and it had a huge impact on us."
After that, Ruffino said, he increased his insurance coverage, which includes treatment for trauma to his employees. Ruffino said his stores also have security cameras and established safety procedures for employees to follow.
He declined to say how much money was stolen during the three incidents.
Jim Pillans, director of the Brazos Valley Small Business Development Center, said small businesses face different challenges than larger ones when faced with a major problem.
"In a small business, normally the owner is so busy they don't have the time or resources to plan for major disasters that could happen," Pillans said. "With large companies, there are more backups, and they might have the facilities to get back into operation in case something happens."
The business continuity course, Cox said, will focus on recovery after a major event.
"Businesses have to know how to be resilient and how to survive," Cox said. "The class will help you plan to create a transition phase that will get you into a recovery phase."
Continuity, Cox said, can include having backup offices or anything that ensures a seamless transition for customers.
Cox said the classes are relevant for a broad range of individuals, from human resources and safety directors to IT personnel, engineers and law enforcement. Both classes count toward continuing education credits.

A Colorado program that helps repay the student loans of doctors who work in rural or underserved areas is gearing up for what could be its largest grant class ever.
The Colorado Health Service Corps will begin accepting applications for the new grants on March 1, and Steve Holloway, who oversees the program for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said as much as $5 million could be available to repay loans for as many as 60 physicians and other providers. Already, Holloway said, the corps is the largest such state-based program in the country. The federal government funds a similar National Health Service Corps.
The grants are awarded to doctors and other health care providers who are working in areas with an officially designated shortage of health professionals. In Colorado, those shortages are typically in rural areas, though doctors and others working at urban clinics that serve disadvantaged communities are also eligible to receive grants. Holloway said hospitals and clinics cannot guarantee to doctors that they will receive student loan repayment grants as part of their work but do sometimes use that possibility as a recruitment tool.
Those receiving grants sign a contract promising to remain at their clinic for three years. Holloway said the program looks especially for applicants with attributes — such as specialized training in rural health care — that will likely keep them in the shortage area even longer.
The program has helped repay the loans of more than 400 providers since it began in 2009.
"It's worked out extremely well for us," Holloway said.
Funding for the program comes largely through a grant from the Colorado Health Foundation. Holloway said the program also receives state and federal dollars. Earlier this month, the program announced that it had distributed $1.9 million in new grants to 33 health care professionals from an application period last year.
"By helping these new health care professionals with their student loans," Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE's executive director, said in a statement announcing the grants, "we also help bring doctors, nurses and other health care providers to communities that need them."

There is no secret that education is currently experiencing the largest disruption it has seen in the last 60 years. In the laundry list of buzzwords we hear today, we most often hear the term 21st Century Learning. I use this a lot, and yet I wonder why? We are almost 17% done with the 21st Century, so why are we still using this term? I believe that question is the true source of a lot of the current disruption in education. As a school system, it is important we stay true to our mission and what we believe. At the same time, we have to find the best path of educating our students for success moving forward.
The above video features a TedX talk from a teacher from New Mexico, Kevin Gant. If you are on Twitter, you can follow him here. The focus of his talk is based on three things that can make the greatest impact on our students education. They are:
- The way we teach
- The culture we build
- The tools we offer our students
Let's focus on each of these elements individually.
The Way We Teach:
Inquiry based teaching methods (such as Project or Problem Based Learning, more commonly referred to as PBL) are slowly becoming the norm in education. These teaching methods empower students to become self-motivated learners. A self-motivated learner becomes an incredible problem-solver and thinker. These are the people that are highly sought after in industry today.
The positive to take from this situation is there are so many wonderful examples of the power of inquiry based learning that it is getting harder and harder to find a reason not to employ it as an instructional strategy. It truly just makes sense.
The Culture We Build:
As a person who has only been in public education before coming to LCSS, I can tell you that one of the most impressive things I can see about our schools is the culture. The relationships our teachers and administrators build with their students is hard to match. Not a day goes by that I am not amazed by the sheer number of students who willingly stay after school to work with their teachers.
We must continue to extend this culture by empowering our students to take charge of their learning. Hopefully the questions they ask continue to focus more on drawing correlations in content and a desire to know more about that content. This type of questioning is radically different from questions that ultimately just want to know "how do I get an A?"
The Tools That We Offer Our Students
"We give them the computer as a tool, not as a toy, and certainly, not as a teacher."
I love this quote from Kevin Gant. It is truly the focus of technology in the classroom.
One of the great education leaders of our time, Chris Lehman, says technology should be "ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible." This sums up any school using a form of inquiry based learning. It's not about the technology, but at the same time, it wouldn't work without the technology.
It is a busy, stressful, and exciting time in education. Empowering students to become self-motivated, lifelong learners is something we all want. I'm excited to be apart of this journey with all of you!

NSA leaker Edward Snowden will be on hand for an interview at South by Southwest Monday, but federal agents won't have anyone to arrest for espionage.
South by Southwest announced today that Snowden -- who is living in exile in Russia after his famous leak of countless documents detailing NSA surveillance -- will speak during the "Interactive" portion of the annual Austin, Texas, festival Monday at 11 a.m. Central by satellite. He will be in conversation with Christopher Soghoian, the American Civil Liberties Union's principal technologist.
The conversation will be focused on the impact of the NSA's spying efforts on the technology community, and the ways in which technology can help to protect us from mass surveillance. Hear directly from Snowden about his beliefs on what the tech community can and must do to secure the private data of the billions of people who rely on the tools and services that we build.
Holders of SXSW Interactive, Gold, or Platinum badges will be able to attend the session on site. But those that can't be there in person will be able to watch a livestream hosted by the Texas Tribune. As well, the ACLU will host a recording of the interview on its Web site beginning Monday afternoon, SXSW said.
Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith told CNET that he is "confident" that his site will be able to handle the livestream traffic. He said that was the first question SXSW asked, and "the first question we asked ourselves" about hosting the livestream, which is expected to be "the most traffic we've ever had."
Snowden will not be the only wanted man speaking remotely at SXSW. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will also be appearing by teleconference on Saturday afternoon. And to round out a wide variety of panels and talks related to surveillance, the NSA, and privacy, SXSW will also be hosting an in-person discussion with journalist Glenn Greenwald on Saturday.

Norwich City striker Kyle Lafferty gears up for 'opportunity of a lifetime' at Euro 2016
PUBLISHED: 06:00 15 December 2015
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Norwich City striker Kyle Lafferty has labelled Northern Ireland's Euro 2016 draw the 'opportunity of a lifetime'.
Lafferty insists Michael O'Neill's squad will not be intimidated by facing World Champions Germany, Robert Lewandowski's Poland or the Ukraine in their group at next summer's finals in France.
The 28-year-old's seven qualifying goals fired his country to their first-ever appearance at the championships and Lafferty is determined to savour every moment.
"We wanted to play against the very best in Europe and we've got that with this draw," he said. "I'll relish playing against Germany – I can't wait now. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me.
"It will only push me on to improve my own game because I know I'll need to be at my ultimate to take on the German defenders. However, come June we'll need to stand up and I think we can do that. Our team spirit is excellent – never been higher – and we are all totally committed to making sure Northern Ireland do well."
Lafferty has made no secret of his desire for regular club football with his short-term Norwich future set to be decided in next month's transfer window. The former Palermo forward has been touted with a return to Italy and Championship club Leeds, who failed in a loan enquiry prior to the emergency deadline in November.
Lafferty will be a key figure in Northern Ireland's bid to spring an upset and qualify for the knock-out stages.
"It's not the group we would have wanted, it's incredibly tough and it could have been easier, but there's no point dwelling on it," he told the Belfast Telegraph. "We need to be excited. We have qualified for a major finals in style and I think other teams won't like playing us.
"If we were able to get a couple of decent results, maybe get a win and a draw that should be enough to send us through to the knock-out stages. That would be amazing for a country like Northern Ireland — it would send a message out to the world that we are a real force and shouldn't be underestimated.
"Michael will be meticulous in his planning for the finals. Look at what he did during qualifying and how the boys were prepared. I can guarantee Michael will have us fully-briefed."

MARYLAND 81, IUPUI 63 - Maryland finished its tear through the non-conference portion of the schedule and coach Mark Turgeon is confident his team is finally ready for the challenge of ACC play.
Freshman guard Seth Allen scored 13 points and the Terrapins increased their winning streak to 12 games by beating IUPUI 81-63 Tuesday.
Logan Aronhalt came off the bench and finished with 10 points for the Terrapins (12-1). Maryland shot 54.7 percent (29 of 53) from the field.
Maryland has not lost since falling to then-No. 1 Kentucky 72-69 in the season opener. The Terrapins have their best record entering ACC play since 1998-1999 when they were 13-1. It is also Maryland's longest winning streak in 10 years.
CLEMSON 92, The Citadel 51 - Clemson produced season-best offensive numbers in terms of shooting percentage and points in a rout of The Citadel on Tuesday, the Tigers' final non-conference game prior to the start of ACC play. The win improved Clemson to 8-4, while dropping The Citadel to 3-8 on the season.
Adonis Filer scored a season-high 21 points, the most for a Tiger freshman since Terrence Oglesby had 21 against Puerto Rico-Mayaguez in 2007-08. Filer did not miss in seven field goal tries and was 3-4 from the line. He made all four of his three-point attempts, also a season-best. Jordan Roper, another freshman guard, added 13, while Damarcus Harrison chipped in 10.
The Tigers' 92 points were the most by the program since the 2009-10 season, when Oliver Purnell's final team posted 94 against College of Charleston. Clemson shot 61 percent and made 35 field goals.
BOSTON COLLEGE 97, Darthmouth 58 - Freshman Joe Rahon hit all six of his 3-point attempts and scored a career-high 24 points to lead Boston College past Dartmouth on Monday afternoon in Conte Forum.
Rahon's 24 points are the most by an ACC freshman in a game this season. He was nearly perfect from the field, going 7-for-8 from the floor, 6-for-6 from beyond the arc and 4-for-4 from the foul line. He also had five assists and three rebounds.
|LESLIE (Grant Halverson/Getty Images)
C.J. Leslie led five players in double figures with 21 points in N.C. State's win over UNC Greensboro on Monday.
Scott Wood and Lorenzo Brown added 15 points apiece, and the Wolfpack (11-2) largely kept the Spartans off the boards after halftime while using a timely run to break open a surprisingly tight game. N.C. State outrebounded them 24-16 in the second half.
Richard Howell had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and T.J. Warren finished with 13 points for the nation's most accurate shooting team, which shot 53 percent in winning its seventh straight, matching its longest winning streak since 2008.

1) Script Title: Chrome CSS Drop Down Menu
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rome/index.htm
3) Describe problem:
Using chrome.js updated Oct 29th, 08 to v2.5
On this type of page: https://www.hamptonnautical.com/beach-decor.php the menu/drop down works fine (product, category, etc.)
But, this type of page: https://www.hamptonnautical.com/contact.php can't keep the drop down menu visible long enough to use (contact, search, account)
So, for the first type: mouseover one of the top menu items, the drop down appears, and you can mouseover any item in the drop down and use it.
For the second type: mouseover one of the top menu items, the drop down appears, but disappears as soon as you try to mouseover any item in the drop down.
Changing the delay speed does not solve the problem ... while it does delay the dropdown menu hide, mousing over the drop down menu does not cancel the setInterval, or setTimeout that does the hiding on mouseout of the chromemenu trigger.
Moving the drop down menu holder DIV closer to the top menu, even overlapping it, is also ineffective.
I can not figure out why one page would behave properly and the other would not ... they both use the same header and script files.
TIA for any guidance on where I can hunt for this issue.

I'd like to wish a happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrated it today. {Smile}
To those who don't, I hope you had a good day. {GRIN, wink}
If you're interested, for us it was just the four of us. Valentine only jumped up on the table once, and got back down when scolded, so he didn't have to be exiled. He had as much turkey as he could cadge off of us. Mom, Dad and I had turkey, stuffing, succotash, cranberry sauce, and blueberry pie.

A discontented Jo (KIM HUFFMAN) robs corner stores and dry cleaners with her boyfriend Ted (BEN RATNER) and his brother Johnny (DARCY BELSHER). When they are not pursuing their comic book criminal life, Ted and Johnny stare at the TV, while Jo reads old Leonard Cohen paperbacks or goes to writing classes with her only friend, the religiously inspired, sex tinged Monica (MOLLY PARKER). Luka (JOEL BISSONNETTE), a Czech computer programmer, arrives in Montreal with a lousy old love life behind him and what he hopes is a wonderful new world in front. Unfortunately his hopes don**t last. With his employer out of business and his apartment a dump, Luka finds himself wandering a strange new city, a lonely man with nothing to do. Ted and Johnny have somehow become ambitious and are now thinking about banks. Disgusted, Jo refuses to participate. While the brothers are away Jo runs into Luka at a drug store and somewhere between the shampoo and deodorants they begin to fall into something. Nothing in life comes easy, however, particularly when it comes to love. So when a first kiss leads to murder, and romance to suspicion, Jo and Luka have to wonder what love might have to do with them.

Baby Boy is the size of a watermelon!
We are officially full-term, so Ian could come at any time now! I'm hoping it's sooner than later, because my doctor is going to be on vacation from the 15th-22nd, and I want her there to deliver my baby! Lots of people in the baby pool think he'll be here between the 13-15th…so we'll see. (No pressure or anything, baby! haha)

Amidst the whirlwind of immediate events it is sometimes worthwhile to heed the advice of the White Rabbit in Alice and Wonderland: "Don't just do something. Stand there!" This is such a time, to just stand there…and think…and in the process seek what wisdom our forebears may have embodied in ancient legends that would be of value today. In so doing it seems reasonable to start at the beginning…with their story of Original Sin.
During an early stage of what has become this Pacificus Enterprise, in the mid 1950s, I wrestled with the primal question: What message was really being conveyed by the Judaic Old Testament legend of the Forbidden Fruit in saying that partaking of fruit from the Tree of Knowledge constituted 'Original Sin'?
Then one day I found the answer — in passages from John Milton's 17th-Century classic, Paradise Lost, the geatest epic in the English language. In great excitement I wrote a favorite mentor of mine in philosophy and theology, Reinhold Niebuhr, who has been considered "by common consent the leading native-born theologian in the United States in the 20th Century…[who] brought a prophetic dimension,, a sense of transcendent criticism, judgment, and grace, to American theology and religion." [The 1996 Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia] The passages from Milton and substantial excerpts from Dr Niebuhr's long reply of December 1955 from Union Theological Seminary (next to and affiliated with Columbia University) are provided in the Conclusion of PRINCIPIA IDEOLOGICA, and the reader is urged to read them. For present purposes the following excerpts will suffice.
But knowledge is food, and needs no less / Her temperance over Appetite, to know / In Measure what the mind may well contain, / Oppresses else with Surfet, and soon turns / Wisdom to Folly, as Nourishment to Winde.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But apt the Mind of Fancie is to roave / Unchekt, and of her roaving is no end; / Till warn'd, or by exerience taught, she learne.
It was so nice to have a letter from you and to prolong the discussion which we had on Christmas Day.
You say, "Man's woes stem not from an original sin, but from perpetually recommiting this sin, in perpetually overreaching, in intellectual excesses, in insisting on and creating Ultimate Answers and Total Systems." Of course, I perfectly agree with this and merely remind you that this is everywhere the modern interpretation of 'original sin'…But what is univesally recognized now is that the term 'original sin' means the perpetual inclination to overreach oneself, and incidentally not only in intellectual excesses but in the will to power, and so forth…Milton combined classical with Calvinist insights. He therefore made the devil a rather appealing figure, which is to say like Prometheus. And as I stated on Christmas Day I think the difference between the Promethean myth and the myth of the Fall is that in the Promethean myth man has to defy God in order to be creative. But in the myth of the Fall he is challenged to be creative but is reminded that there are limits to the creativity of a creature.
…certainly one of the great revelations of our era has been that secularism from Jacobinism to communism can produce the same excesses which dogmantic religion produced through the ages, and against which the earlier secularism revolted.
I write you at too great length, I am afraid, because you have touched one of the main themes of my thought for the past twenty years.
With cordial personal regards,
Sincerely yours, /sig/ Reinhold Niebuhr
Union Theological Seminary / New York / December 29, 1955
Mankind has cultivated well the trees of Life and Knowledge, as he was challenged to do, but in the process Mankind also corrupts knowlege — with falsehood, fallacy, and error. Some of the corruption is in the form of secular and religious excesses, in overreaching. But, worse, some of that corruption is malevolent. Such corruption — malignant secular and religious excesses — forms a repetitive pattern, causing recurring cycles of tyranny, aggression, oppression and war.
We must at last, having been repeatedly warned and by experience taught, learn ancient and theological wisdom, and apply it, with the newly emerging tools of the Pacificus Enterprise to do so, cooperatively where feasible, adversarily where necessary. Doing so will inherently, in the proces, build a new dimension in world affairs, and give birth to a New Era.
For, now Mankind has the means to learn how, on the way towards and ultimately in the resultant New Era — that Novus Ordo Seclorum declared in the obverse side of the Great Seal of the United States, as can be seen on the back of a dollar bill — to recognize, disdain, and defend against malignant ideologies in all their forms, to know the absence of WARRE as defined by Hobbes' in Leviathan,* and thereby enjoy PEACE — for the first time.

The 48th Annual St. Patrick's Festival is set for February 23-March 24 this year, according to the City of Dublin Facebook page.

The jobless rate for Laurens County in December 2012 was 10.9 percent.
Laurens County was one of 67 Georgia counties that had a jobless rate of 10 percent or greater.
The jobless rate in December 2012 was also up for metro Macon.
According to a state news release, unemployment rose to 9.2 percent from November's 8.7 percent rate, but it was down from December 2011 when the rate was 9.5 percent.
Officials claim the rise comes from a combination of factors, including a "slight increase" in new layoffs and a reduction in the area work force.
The uptick reflects a similar statewide trend. However, the jobless rate across Georgia only rose one-tenth of percentage point while metro Macon's rate jumped five-tenths of a percentage point.
The Dublin-441 Speedway hosts the Georgia State Championship "Matt Wood" Memorial Race Saturday.
That's on October 20.
Wood was a stock car race driver and lost in life in an accident on I-16 in 2010.
Event organizers expect over 100 drivers from all parts of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida for the annual event.
Gates open at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m.
Cost is $15 per person and $5 for children in the grandstands. Cost to sit in the pit is $30 for adults and $10 for children.
Practice session is Friday night from 7-10 p.m. Admission is $5 in the grandstands, and $10 in the pits.
Department of Driver Services across the State of Georgia closes Saturday, September 1 for the Labor Day holiday, according to a DDS news release.
DDS offices are always closed on Mondays. Offices statewide will reopen Tuesday, September 4.
The news release warns that the first business day after being closed is busy and to plan accordingly. If possible, visit Driver Services later in the week.

The German auto-parts manufacturer, Erdrich Umformtechnik, has a groundbreaking ceremony in July, according to a Dublin-Laurens County Chamber of Commerce release.
That comes after the January announcement that the company would bring 178 jobs to Dublin.
The groundbreaking ceremony is set for July 12 at 10:30 a.m. at 112 Willie Paulk Parkway in Dublin.
In January, Dublin Mayor Phil Best said he's excited to get the construction started and expects the plant to open around the beginning of 2013.
If you're planning to travel on I-75 and I-16 Thursday nights, particularly after 8 p.m. and into the overnight hours, be sure to make way for a 628K lb. machine press making its way across Georgia.
A machine will be moved from the port of Savannah to KIA Motors Manufacturing plant in West Point, a Georgia Department of Transportation news release.
Drivers should be careful near the equipment, as its 20-feet wide and is expected to move slower than 45 miles per hour.
The wide load will travel along I-16 and I-75 to a weigh station in Forsyth. On Friday, crews move the equipment from the weigh station to Atlanta via Highway 285 westbound and I-85.
