"Among my many duties as Buyer Specialist and Listing Partner for The Crockett Team I am also Sales Manager for Judie and David Crockett, assisting them in servicing their clients. Being a naturally nurturing person makes me perfect for the role of providing extraordinary service for our clients. I'm really proud to say that every team member on The Crockett Team is dedicated to excellence in service. It's really a part of our culture."
Sylvia is also known as the team's 'stager'. She is blessed with a natural eye for interior design and decorating which really helps when staging homes to show off their best features. When your home is on the market it's always in a 'beauty contest' with all the other competing properties for sale. That's why it's vitally important to spruce things up and rearrange things a little to better compete. In every beauty contest, the goal is to make it to the top 3 from which the crown is awarded. It's the same in real estate. You want your home to be in the top 3 choices of all the homes the buyers have seen which puts you in position to win. That's where Sylvia's staging talents can really help!
"Wow, is all we can say! What you and the Crocket team did in selling Mom's house for us is simply amazing! Its very hard to deal with a person who has lived in a house for 60 plus years, YOUR patience, YOUR mannerisms, YOUR professionalism, YOUR expertise, and most of all YOUR compassion for Mom and all of her concerns was simply just AMAZING! You made the process of listing and selling the house smooth, uneventful and rapid. Mom has now settled into her condo nicely and hopes you stop over for coffee. She is proud to tell all of her friends about "Sylvia" and how happy she is that she chose you to sell her home. Once again, Thank you! "
"Sylvia Luck was our agent on two occasions in the past 8 years. She was kind and patient with each step with us as well as knowledgable and diligent in all we asked. We were so pleased with her abilities, the first time, we happily hired Sylvia a second time! Should we ever decide to move again Sylvia and The Crockett Team will be our first call!"
"Sylvia Luck is our realtor! We have bought 2 properties and sold one property with Sylvia as our realtor. She is a true professional in every sense of the word.I would highly recommend her . In fact, we want her to list and sell our current house and feel very confident in her ability to do just that."

Everything went well with our order and we received our tickets within a few days of ordering. I just wish we could’ve got a little bit better deal. We did get some good seats though, which were not available through the box office.

She’s 33. Separated. Her kids are 10, 7 and 5.
Yet in the six-county metro area alone, an estimated 100,000 children live in homes where cupboards too often are bare, where the parents may not know where the next meal is coming from. One-third of those children live in extreme conditions where some days they go hungry.
And it’s worse here than in most parts of the country. Missouri ranks fifth in the number of homes with unstable food supplies. Kansas comes in 12th.
Educators and social workers see the faces of childhood hunger every day. The elementary school student in Kansas City, Kan., who tucks part of her lunch into her pocket so she can eat it that night. The teenager in Kansas City who, embarrassed, reveals that there’s no food at home. The kid in Warrensburg, Mo., who asks every week if he, too, can get a Harvesters backpack of food for the weekend.
Schools on both sides of the state line are feeding breakfast to a record number of children each morning. More kids are on free and reduced lunch, and their families rely on food pantries as if they were grocery stores. Teachers keep stashes of granola bars and crackers, knowing that a hungry kid is a distracted kid who struggles to learn.
Relief workers, even churches and small towns, are doing what they can. But they’re haunted by it not being enough.
That’s why this holiday season The Kansas City Star has partnered with Harvesters to host a virtual food drive for hungry children. The goal is to raise money to support the BackSnack program, which provides weekend food to children in 269 schools across 26 counties.
Harvesters estimates that 30,000 children in the six-county area need that food to tide them over to Monday, yet the agency can afford just 10,000 packs each week.
“That’s 20,000 children (in the metro area) we know who could use a backpack and aren’t getting one,” said Ellen Feldhausen, Harvesters’ director of communications.
It’s time, experts said, that communities realize no one agency, church or school district can feed all the hungry children.
Over the next two weeks, as the food drive continues, The Star will share stories about kids who go to bed hungry and who get excited not about candy, but about a can of corn or a loaf of bread. One little girl’s letter to Santa asked him to bring food.
Other stories will show how communities, churches and regular people have stepped up to feed our kids.
The challenge is for more people to do the same.
“People talk about us being in the heartland, being the farmland of this country,” said Jeanna Repass, director of Kansas City missions for Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, which is in its second year of a ministry to help feed the area’s hungry children. “When people used to homestead, whole communities would come out and raise a barn together. If someone had sickness, they helped with the crops.
Feldhausen breaks down the numbers on the sheet of paper in front of her. Numbers tallied using the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics and census data.
More than 40,000 children under 18 in Jackson County are in “food-insecure” homes — those without enough nutritious food or any food at all.
In Johnson County, there are about 28,000. In Clay County, more than 13,000.
Keep in mind, Feldhausen cautions, that these numbers use USDA statistics from 2006 to 2008. We don’t know how many kids in the metro have gone without enough food the past two years, during the worst of the recession.
Yet relief agencies, including Harvesters, have some clue.
In Johnson County, Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas is seeing more families so far this fiscal year than last. Nearly half of the people who received assistance in the first five months of fiscal 2011 were under the age of 19, and the vast majority of those received food.
Earlier this year, when the Catholic Charities pantry in Olathe had fresh fruit and vegetables to give out, a line of families snaked around the downtown building.
Last month, a church in Paola gave away nearly twice as many Thanksgiving baskets as last year, most to families with children. And at Harvesters, the overall need in the 26-county area is up 40 percent this year, with 37 percent of the people served under age 18.
According to USDA figures, the number of families nationwide who went to food pantries increased 44 percent from 2007 to 2009 to 5.6 million households. As of August, 42.2 million U.S. residents were using food stamps, a 17 percent increase from the year before.
The number of food-insecure households also jumped. In 2008, 15 percent of American families reported having to compromise in the amount of food or quality of food they consumed. That was up from 11 percent of families in 2007.
“For a country with the amount of resources we have, to have kids going hungry is obscene,” said Mark Rank, professor of social work at Washington University in St. Louis and an expert on poverty.
The people hurting aren’t just the homeless. Or families living on welfare and getting full food stamp benefits. It’s also the working poor, said social workers and resource specialists.
People working two or three low-paying jobs just to put food on the table and keep the lights on. Single moms who make just enough to pay the bills, but if anything goes wrong, they have less money for food.
One 43-year-old mom from Olathe is raising a teenage son on her own. She wants to give him nutritional food, but often can’t. On this day she’s at the Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas pantry in Olathe.
Relief workers realize that no matter what the numbers show, no matter how many parents tell their stories of bare cupboards, some people will refuse to believe there’s a problem. Children aren’t going hungry, especially not here.
Not here in middle America, where churches are chock-full each Sunday with people who routinely shell out money to charitable organizations.
Not here, where school kids and organizations constantly collect canned goods for food banks and pantries.
The thing is, those pantries were designed to help families fill the gap once a month between paychecks — not to be the virtual grocery stores families today need them to be.
These pantries can’t handle it, though workers try never to turn people away.
“We’re seeing some people every week,” Brandes said as she walked through the Catholic Charities pantry, past some emptying shelves.
Some wonder what it will take for people to see what many children go home to every night.
Teresa Hill lives in the East Hills housing complex near 75th Street and U.S. 71. She’s raising her teenage son and has taken in a niece and nephew, ages 10 and 11.
Each month she gets $167 in food stamps and $674 for her son, who has a mental disability. That’s it. She has no more money coming in.
When there’s not enough food, she makes do. With a little of this and a little of that.
Hill doesn’t want them to know there’s not enough money for food. Like so many parents, she’d rather go without than have the kids sacrifice anything.
So when there’s not enough to eat, she doesn’t make a plate for herself. Instead, she scrapes from their plates and makes do with their leftovers.
Then she broadens the plea. She knows so many others who have only what she has or less.
If children continue to not get enough nutritious food, the country will pay, said John Cook, an associate professor of pediatrics at the Boston University School of Medicine.
Childhood hunger can affect health, education and job readiness. In the end, it can cost society billions in lost dollars, Cook said.
One recent study, conducted by the National Cancer Institute and the University of Calgary, found that if a child goes hungry for just one day, it can have a lasting effect.
Researchers analyzed 5,809 children ages 10 to 15 and 3,333 youths ages 16 to 21. They found that one episode of hunger made a young person 2 1/2 times as likely to have poor overall health 10 to 15 years later, compared with those who never had to go without food.
Experience hunger two or more times and they are four times as likely to have poor health later.
People don’t realize, Rank said, what poverty and childhood hunger are doing to the country.
Melanie Small works three jobs. The first one, for $12.84 an hour at a trucking company, pays her bills. Rent. Car. Insurance. Health expenses.
She makes $23 a month too much at that job to qualify for food stamps. So she works job two (at the housing complex where she and her children live) and job three (driving for a valet service) to buy food for Michael, Rilynn and Derikka.
She’s up at 5 every morning and not in bed most nights until about 10. She plans meals based on how much money she can spend at the grocery store. Many times, meat is just too expensive. They go without.
The kids get reduced-price lunches at school and eat a small meal right after school through Harvesters’ Kids Cafe program at the Parvin Estates community center in the Northland.
For a minute, with tears still in her eyes, Small thinks about what she wants life to be like one day. When she doesn’t have to work three jobs and only be able to put noodles and Vienna sausages on the table.
She’s not there yet. But one day. One day.
For now, it’s spaghetti in white sauce, no meat. One slice of bread on the side.
The Kansas City Star is partnering with Harvesters to host a virtual food drive. All money raised will go to Harvesters’ BackSnack program, which provides schoolchildren with food to take home for the weekend.
to give Harvesters $5 for a case of shelf-stable milk or $10 for macaroni and cheese, or to pay for a child to receive a food-filled backpack. All donations are tax-deductible.

Abraham Wood of Fort Henry, Virginia, sent James Needham and Gabriel Arthur, the latter probably an indentured servant of Wood, with eight Indians to explore the southwest interior from Virginia. Needham and Arthur were provided with provisions for a three-month journey. They initially returned just over a month later, and Wood sent them out again and added four horses for their travel. They left this second time on June 25, 1673. The only account we have of this exploration is by Wood, who was not on the trip. He wrote a letter about the exploration on August 22, 1674, to John Richards in England, where the letter remained for many years undiscovered.
Needham and Arthur traveled southwest from Fort Henry, the site of present Petersburg, Virginia, into North Carolina and Georgia. Needham was killed by one of the Indian guides in October. Gabriel Arthur would remain with the Indians, traveling to the present-day states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina, as well as Virginia including present West Virginia. Arthur visited the Big Sandy River in present Lawrence County, Kentucky, or Wayne County, West Virginia, and is believed to have been the first white person to see the Kanawha Valley. In a remarkable feat of survival and an epic journey, Gabriel Arthur finally returned to Wood’s house at Fort Henry on June 18, 1674, having been away for nearly a year. This ended Abraham Wood’s sponsoring of explorations.

Dr Charlton is an active cricketer and his love for the game came over as he shared entertaining anecdotes from his exploits as a bowler and also from watching cricket at all levels.
Sometimes the difference between success and failure Dr Charlton argued was marginal. Umpiring decisions can go against you, bad weather can be a hindrance or a blessing and sometimes the wicket has not been prepared for your best advantage.
None the less there is so much we can do to increase our chances of success on the cricket pitch in much the same way as we can in life. In cricket this means going into the nets more and in life this means planning projects better.
Finally, Dr Charlton reminded students that they are not alone. As a bowler when things were not going his way he sometimes felt a sense of isolation until his skipper reminded him that he was working in partnership with the rest of the team to try and get and the batsman out.

The customer had a requirement to store a large amount of varying products within a small area of floor space with the benefit of automatically calling the products to set locations reducing the walking time of operators.
The system begins with the loading of full totes onto the infeed conveyor. The totes are identified by a barcode permanently fixed to the tote. The WMS has already scanned the tote and logged the items within the tote (assigned by operator).
The totes are then elevated and conveyed to the 2 input stations (one for each crane). The tote is scanned and the WMS informs the crane as to which storage location the tote must go in. The system also removes empty totes from the live and storage locations, which are then conveyed back to the operator.
As orders are processed the WMS will request the cranes to deliver totes for picking to the live storage areas, where operators can pick from. Once completed the cranes will remove the tote from the live storage location and position it as instructed by the WMS.

Join us for an informal evening talk and information session to share our experiences of peri-menopause and menopause, consider how it is perceived by society and the impact this period of change has on our daily lives.
From our professional experience many of us do not have the tools or support to fully understand and manage our menopause.
If this is you, this talk will explain what is happening during this natural process, guide you through treatment options and enable you to make choices to take back control of your wellbeing.
While living and working abroad with her young family Rachel experienced the benefit of different cultural approach to health. Returning to the UK, she re-trained as a classical homeopath and has practiced in Hampshire and West Sussex since graduating in 1998.

We at the National Parents Organization wish every one of you the happiest of Thanksgiving Days.
As is appropriate, given the state of affairs in family courts, we gripe and moan a lot about the plight of fathers who so often lose all meaningful contact with their children, and children lose their fathers, courtesy of the sexist and out-of-touch-with-reality rulings of family courts.
But let’s not forget what we have to be thankful for. Extended family and friends make our lives so much richer and more meaningful than they’d otherwise be. We still live in a pretty prosperous and free country. It’s not nearly as much so as we might like, but, considering the alternatives, the U.S. of A. measures up quite well.
The nut of equal parenting has been a tough one to crack, but daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, fissures appear and grow. I can’t count the number of organizations at the local and state levels dedicated to the rights of children to real relationships with both parents post-divorce. The National Parents Organization is growing by leaps and bounds, establishing affiliates in state after state that successfully pressure state governments to do the right thing for children.
Slowly it’s paying off and perhaps the most obvious and undeniable aspect of the whole thing is that, in state after state, country after country, this movement is here to stay. Deny us today and we’ll be back tomorrow, fighting for parents and their children. Count on it.
So have a great Thanksgiving Day. Don’t eat too much, and wake up the next morning ready to carry the banner forward.

CHICAGO (STMW) – A Chicago man was sentenced on Thursday to more than 7 years in federal prison for posing as a federal government official in a scheme to sell properties he did not own out from underneath the real owners.
John Hemphill, 41, was convicted in August of mail fraud and false impersonation of a federal official. U.S. District Judge William Hibbler sentenced him to 90 months in prison term Thursday and ordered Hemphill to pay $166,910 in restitution, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s office.
According to evidence at trial, since 2008, Hemphill engaged in a scheme to defraud property owners and prospective purchasers by creating and recording fictitious deeds with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds, then posing as the property owner to sell the property.
He typically filed a fictitious deed conveying title to a parcel of property to one of Hemphill’s businesses, and then filed a second fictitious deed purporting to convey title to a third party. He told prospective buyers that he and his business entities held title as a “federal receiver” or had other lawful authority to sell the properties.
In early 2009, he falsely sold property at 5436 S. Paulina in Chicago to an undercover agent for $6,000, the release said. Hemphill was arrested on Oct. 14, 2009, after purporting to complete the sale at his office at 211 E. 79th St.
Two witnesses at trial, a La Grange police officer and a victim who bought a home Hemphill did not own, testified that when they challenged him, he produced a bogus badge indicating he was a federal agent, the release said.

Apple has found a way to get rid of its old iPhones -- sell them to India and other emerging markets.
The iPhone 4, which debuted in 2010 in the United States, gives Indians the cachet of Apple but at cheaper prices.
“You flaunt an iPhone, but you don’t flaunt an Android,” Punit Mathur, a 42-year-old vice president of a digital media company who switched to a new iPhone 4s from a Nexus 4, told Bloomberg News. The iPhone 5s is too much at $874, but the iPhone 4 is "still an upgrade."
That idea seemed to have double Apple's sales in India and become a competitor with Samsung and domestic manufacturers. That's quite a feat in a country where most of the population lives "on less than $2 a day," Bloomberg reports.
If that idea takes hold around the world, this will be Apple's model for other markets including Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. India will buy 225 million smartphones a year, and Apple has sold 325,000 iPhones last year. But Apple faces competition from China's Xiaomi, which already is a competitor with Apple in China.
Part of the reason is that unlike the United States, Indian carriers don't subsidize phone costs because customers don't usually sign two-year contracts. The reason? Carriers also don't check credit or enforce contracts. So most Indian customers buy phones from retailers and use prepaid cards for talk time. The iPhone 4 sells at about half the price of the iPhone 5s, which is a reasonable deal to many Indian customers.
For Apple, this is a way to rid itself of its older and refurbished phones and still manage to snag new consumers in the developing world. If Apple's sales do well, the sales model will be repeated in other countries, too.

Why Gaz? Why why why???? I'm up to my eyeballs in my own campaign and you go and do this to me! Ohhhhhhhh hell count me in!
Now I'll have to see what fits into the time period.
Count me in too, I love desert stuff and have a number of 1/35th kits I could do.
Excellent! Glad to see more guys interested. Chris, With more than six months until the campaign begins, you should have heaps of time to clear a couple campaigns. And this proposed campaign is a bit longer than six months. So, more time, yet.
I'm in with the Tamiya Tillie. Proper British colours, none of this captured stuff.
I'll also see if I can dig out a completed Airfix Matilda in 1:76 I built about 30 years ago. My eyes were rather better then.
Great to see you again. Looking forward to seeing a lot of British armor in this campaign. Hoopefully somebody has some of the older Cruiser tanks to build.
Sadly so much British armor is unknown to me. Before recent reading, I didn't even know about any cruiser tanks prior to the Crusader.
Part of the "Campaign" experience for me is research and learning from the other entries- and this campaign really fits the bill!
Thank you for the quick approval!
So--looking at my stash, about half of my kits fall into this one. I'll do some research and figure out what to build.
There are a lot of rarities I think fit in like the PzJag I and that handful of desert Stug's. Brit-wise, I have to acknowledge that I don't know enough.
I'm gonna try to do two for this campaign. I have a friend willing to sell me Miniart Valentine, and I have a Dragon Orange Box PZIIIg in my stash screaming to be built.
OK, I'm going to roll with my MiniArt Valentine Mk VI. I'll fit it out to a regiment in service at the time (TBD). It has some AM workable tracks from Bronco with it, and an RB barrel (I think it's the 2lber?). Anyways, should be a kick in the pants, and I'm looking forward to the sandy, sandy goodness.
I'm gonna try to do two for this campaign.
That's a good idea Gaz. Given the long of campaign period I may try that as well.
We've already seen some great ideas for the campaign. A bus! I never would have imagined!
I'm keen to get started, too. Thankfully I have enough idle styrene in my stash to keep me busy for a couple years at least.
I have Tentative idea for a ribbon. If anyone has an idea, please feel free to post it.

Black Diamond Sprinter - urban runner dream ?
The urban-inspired Sprinter opens up the dark for those whose running isn’t restricted to daytime hours. This rechargeable streets-to-trails runner’s headlamp features excellent fore-aft balance and a super low profile, which minimizes bouncing and shifting with your stride. A red rear strobe offers safety around cars while a strong, ovalized beam keeps your vision focused on the path ahead.
Small and lightweight, very nice design, integrated power supply, the kit including a docking station for charging - in essence, an I-pod only is missing in the kit;). Actually, without the upper belt, it weighs 96g - a not too bad result in the category of the compact units, the more so that the head lamp weight is distributed to he front and back. The oval shape of the beam? In my opinion, rather rectangular but, in essence, this matches to the path even better ;).
The head is really small; if you want to change the mode or switch the lamp on, you have to catch in with two fingers; therefore, additional rubber straps have been added to the bottom. Since the pushbutton should be pressed rather deeply and it almost doesn’t extend above the casing, this may hinder the lamp operation in rather thick gloves but, truly, who plays with the modes when running??
Switching the lamp on activates, automatically, the rear flasher on the rechargeable battery compartment; it may be switched off with a separate pushbutton on the compartment but it may not be switched on to operate as an autonomous red light.
The cable interconnecting the battery compartment and the head has been hidden inside the strap what avoids its flinging and eliminates the chances for catching something if the User got carried away into some bushes ;).
The cable entries are sealed accurately and all parts are secured tightly; the gaskets at the casing connections and pushbutton rubbers glued in ensure water tightness.
Everywhere the inscription Azoteq but, the Users probably have used to that already; this is a South African company designing electronics (or maybe even complete head lamps) for Black Diamond. As you can see in the picture, either I have handled the head lamp not too delicately when dismounting it or the material has been a little bit to thin at that place; anyhow nothing that can not be repaired with a drop of super glue ;-).
Cree XR-C on an adequately matched mcpcb is rather obsolete already in comparison with Spot or Storm wherein the new leds XP-E have been applied. The maximum specifications for the XR-C leds, at the best possible selection of P4 are 80 lumens at 350mA where the typical XP-E are capable of giving more than 130… The amount of light declared is 68 lumens only so that, when choosing the supply current on the level of 300mA , you can easily obtain the amount assumed.
Black Diamond Sprinter is provided with a lithium-polymer power supply package; presently these are the most popular rechargeable batteries in small portable devices (mobiles, mp3 players).
1500mAh 3,7V =>5,55Wh, assuming the converter efficiency of 85% , you have left 4,7Wh only, i.e. 0,94Wh per each operation period declared. At that instant, already, something is odd with the light amount declared:].
Inside the compartment, a dilic undefined more clearly, responsible for the rear flasher.
The charging control is located in the docking station that you supply from a common mains power supply (AC120-240V => DC 6V 0,6A) with a complete set of adaptors enabling connection to any electrical mains (4 socket types).
In the middle, a very nice circuit, FS3871D – not only that it serves the charging process, it enables to display instantaneously the battery status with leds (red – charging, green – charged up) and, even more, it is capable of controlling the temperature during charging, but this option has not been used here:(.
Back to the led supply, supplying one of the li-pol cells produces no special problems. The white leds operate within the range 2,8-3,5V and the li-pol cells within the range 3,0-4,2V so that, at adequately chosen current limitation characteristics, the led, in practice, “operates itself”.
V-In    I-in     P-In    V-led    I-led   P-led   Eff.
Superb efficiency, but a little too low current – no chance to achieve the 68 lumens assumed unless I’ve shut already into the range not covered by the regulation, though the voltage value of 3,7V at no load, for the li-pol is ca. 70% of the capacity. Since no information on when you have the regulation at your disposal, and when not, is available , you can assume equally well that there is no regulation and the light amount decreases slowly in time.
Whereas the 2 newest head lamps Spot and Storm produce the declared light amounts, in the case of Sprinter, you cope still with the old version of marketing – as many lumens, as on the led at the beginning of operation, as much on the packaging;). In practice, only optics selected especially, “not wasting” the light by illuminating the sky or sights, rescues the case; it enables good illumination of the first 10-15 meters of the path, accurately as much as it is needed to run on the well known route.
A very interesting concept, nice design, even it does not observe the declared lumen number, the 50-60 lumens of well directed light are enough, for sure, for night running along paths. Now, a question may be raised if the integrated power supply, the general comfort in use, the red light at the back, balance the enough only light amount and the high price. Looking at that from the economic point , at the same price, you can get Myo RXP or Storm and quite a sum will remain in your wallet (well, almost, since to either unit you have to add a charger and a complete set of rechargeable batteries;-) ).

Ravalli County Board of County Commissioners approved a measure that will put a one mill levy on the June 2010 ballot to fund the Valley Veterans Service Center.
The center has an annual budget of $39,000, while donations and grants to the non-profit total out at about $26,000. They’ve been struggling for some time, but not for lack of clients – many of whom are not able, or have tremendous difficulty making the trip to Missoula or Helena for services.
Ravalli County has 5,600 veterans. The entire state of Montana has 109,000. There are 23 centers here in Montana that provide services to veterans – two of them are in Missoula.
Ron Skinner, the center’s director, opened the place 3 years ago.
Wow. Think about that challenge. Think about budget – and using that term brings new meaning to the word “budget,” doesn’t it?
Senator Tester is working to bring real funding to the center.
A mill levy is pretty unique to fund a non-profit. That is not lost on some – check out the comments on the story. Should the government be providing the funding? Yep. The government entered into a contract with these service men and women, and they have an obligation to follow through. Does providing additional funding harm? Hell no…but reliance of this sort to provide services to veterans is the obligation of the federal government and all taxpayers.
From the sounds of the comments, and the quotes from the BCC, the one mill levy should have no problem. Hopefully the center can hold on for that long – even if approved, the funding won’t be available until June 2011. At some point, though, the federal government is going to have to realize that not all veterans live in cities and at some point they’re going to have to figure out how to get the services they promised to the people they promised them too.
There is a precedent for it. The counties have always levied to pay some burial costs ($250) for veterans. It’s a state law.
I don’t know what a mill raises in Ravalli; perhaps its $75,000? Is that $13.39 a veteran?
I’ve seen it before too – but not here in Montana…or not that I’ve ever noticed.
There was a dollar figure in that story of how much it would raise…but your point comes through.

Folding elliptical cross trainers are becoming popular because they are easy to store and easy to move around. These machines allow you to get in shape even in the smallest spaces. Folding elliptical cross trainers usually have the flywheel on the back so the front part is what folds back.
Space is something that people don’t think about when making a gym equipment purchase, but it’s one of the first things that should be taken into consideration. Well, except if you are considering a folding elliptical cross trainer, then space it’s never an issue.

A marketer’s job never ends. Whether you’re focused on inbound or outbound initiatives, a marketer’s goal is to have prospects engage with their company while they are converted into customers and advocates.
Constant need for collateral and multi-touch prospect education means that marketers have to get creative (which isn’t always easy). Here are three examples of marketers who got it right.
A whopping 2.4 million emails are sent every minute. Marketers have been timing, optimizing, and strategizing their email sends to make it to the top of their recipients’ inboxes for decades. They’ve worked even more strenuously to increase their open and click-through rates by mere decimals.
However, there is a finite number of tweaks you can test with email marketing. Although email remains one of the most effective marketing tactics, if that’s all your company does, your audience’s attention will fizzle quickly.
Print Power decided to try something new, and created an interactive, multi-touch, and multi-sense campaign. Here’s how they did it.
They sent roughly 2,200 UK brand owners and media makers cards with materials and instructions. Recipients were instructed to wipe away the chalk to uncover a secret message. Then, if they wanted, they could leave an imprint of their chalk covered hand and send it back. In return, the recipient received a trendy Moleskin notebook with their own handprint on it (featured above).
This unique outreach saw over a 10% return rate, far higher than the average average of 0.5% to 1%.
Why is this effort so remarkable?
First of all, it required continued engagement with the brand through touch and then sending things back to receive another unknown gift they were expecting.
Secondly, they were able to scale personalization. They were able to connect with their target accounts and get them to literally leave an imprint.
Lastly, they leveraged a product that the recipient would use daily — a constant reminder of the company and living proof of their creative work. So often companies send gimmicky items that don’t add value to the recipient’s life. Try something new. Try something remarkable.
This type of marketing effort is ideal for marketers leveraging ABM, as it can be more expensive but also far more impactful and memorable.
Brands are meant to be personable, likable, and fun, yet most corporations keep a very formal tone in their marketing collateral. The one exception is around major holidays: think Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, and winter holidays.
This is when you see brands coming out with Christmas carol remixes, fable remakes, and other heinous spoofs that usually come across as cheesy and inauthentic (please note: this is my personal opinion).
So while publishing this kind of material is certainly something to avoid, it can also be disheartening to your audience if you’re not humanizing your brand in a fun, relatable way.
DMA UK decided to do something creative. Instead of cheesy tales and remixes, they created a holiday-themed game.
A simple game that appeals to your competitive side.
Sound silly? Do you remember Flappy Bird?
Short, thoughtful games increase the time spent on the page, as people want to continuously beat their prior score. This is a prime example of how to participate in trends while doing something different to engage your buyers.
While new companies emerge with hopefully new approaches to old problems, larger corporations more often than not have larger budgets to stomp out the competition before they have a chance.
Hightail Enterprise needed to attract larger businesses to grow their user base while competing with Box and Dropbox, who already had a good share of the market.
Silicon Valley provided a great stage for Hightail to go after these larger companies. They leveraged a big, bold billboard along a busy highway so that tech executives on their commute to work would be humored by their material.
This was a very noticeable billboard. The simplicity and boldness caught the attention of Bay Area commuters, who are stuck in traffic for an average of 75 hours each year.
Hightail was comfortable with the provocative marketing move and was pleased with the results to bring their company’s name into daily conversations, according to their CMO.

The Office‘s executive producer and actor behind character Ryan Howard has been working on something big since leaving Dunder Mifflin. They claim he did the impossible: Wrote a book for kids with no pictures – and get this – it’s actually a page-turner! He says he wanted this book to be kids’ “gateway drug to literature”. His goal was to create something to get kids and their parents to have a fun yet educational reading experience together using books the way they were intended, and to prove that kids don’t need pictures to remain intrigued. And just as he’d hoped, little tykes everywhere are loving the literary masterpiece. This video of his book reading reminds us that although children may seem difficult to please at times, they’re definitely not hard to amuse.

Courtesy PfizerBob Abraham, Pfizer’s head of oncology research and development.
Getting a medicine from concept all the way to the pharmacy is no small feat, but it’s an incredibly lucrative business — if it works.
It’s a process that can often take more than 10 years, sometimes even closer to 20. So what’s key is knowing what will likely work and what won’t before spending all that time and money on development. To get a sense of what that process is like, at least at one major pharmaceutical company, we turned to Bob Abraham, Pfizer’s head of oncology research and development.
And finding those “blips” isn’t easy or without great risks. At that point, there isn’t a lot of information out there to back it up, and the idea hasn’t been tested as thoroughly as other, farther along concepts. Abraham, who is also a professor of pharmacology at the University of California San Diego, is based in Pfizer’s La Jolla, California offices.
Then, maybe, years later, it can pan out into a blockbuster drug that makes billions.

We’ve blogged about trusted legal translation services in the context of international reputation protection. If you’re thinking about a defamation lawsuit involving foreign language evidence, you need to consider the meaning of words. Defamation is a case where somebody spoke – slander – or wrote – libel – words that were intended to harm but not considered true. A libel can occur in a newspaper article, in a blog post or on social media. Slander can occur in person-to-person communications or over the phone.
When speaking the statement, the person who hears or reads the statement must understand the meaning of the statement, and the statement must be false. This is especially complicated when a foreign language is spoken. US courts have decided that the English equivalent of a word must be submitted as evidence in court.
In a classic case, Romano v. De Vito, a defendant allegedly called the plaintiff a “buttana,” a Sicilian word that has been interpreted in English to mean “whore.” The defendant said she used the word “baniana,” which is Sicilian and was translated to mean the town crier. The judge had to decide the English language equivalent of the word that was used to defame the plaintiff. The judge ultimately decided that the defendant defamed the plaintiff. To win the case, the plaintiff’s lawyer had to rely on a legal foreign language translation to make the judge aware of the exact English word that the defendant used in the case.
Proving defamation in this age of LOL and OMG can also be a challenge. The person who believes they have been defamed must understand the meaning of the slang or jargon at the time of the defamation. The plaintiff cannot research the definition after the words were spoken to determine if they were slanderous. However, if somebody witnessed the slander at the time it took place and knew the meaning, this is enough to bring an action.
The term “troll” comes to mind. Troll is often used on the Internet to describe somebody who makes false statements to sow discord among online users. Being called a “troll” could, perhaps, be damaging to one’s character, but the exact definition of a troll is not defined. So, proving that being called a “troll” is grounds for a lawsuit is questionable because the statement must be a fact and not an opinion. There must be a solid legal basis for believing the statement was defamatory.
The use of foreign language and Internet language can be especially vexing for employers. An employer could be liable if an employ defames a customer or client, even if defamation is spoken in a language that is not understood by the employer. That is why a professional translator is required. The employer needs to know the English equivalent of the word.
But much of this can happen after employees leave a company. They can spread defaming statements on the Internet. These can be done in blog posts or on social media. That is why it is always good to monitor Internet discussion. A company can set up Google alerts that inform it when the company’s name is mentioned.
Employers have to be careful, however, when establishing guidelines for employees when mentioning the company online. The National Labor Relations Board recently ruled against Costco over its employee handbook. The handbook stated employees could not post material on the Internet that “defame any individual or damage any person’s reputation, or violate the policies outlined in the Costco Employee Agreement …” The company had to remove that statement from the handbook.

Buy Blue Dream Online, Blue Dream For Sale online.
Buy Blue Dream Online, Blue Dream For Sale online. Blue Dream is a sativa dominant hybrid cross of Haze and Blueberry. It has one of the most sought after full-bodied flavors of any strain. Blue Dream’s fragrance is sweet, zesty and invigorating to the senses. It has dense popcorn-like buds that glisten a blue hue under the light, complementing the landscape of trichomes and orange hairs.
Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid that has been recognized by consulting firm BDS Analytics as the most popular strain circulating in 2015 — and with good reason. A cross of indica Blueberry and sativa Haze, it offers a universally appealing taste and a long-lasting, well-rounded high. Smokers enjoy the ideal balance of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. After enjoying a cult following in California, it has become a top seller in Colorado and Washington. Thanks to aggressive branding, it may soon find a home in newly legal east coast cannabis markets as well. Samples of Blue Dream have tested at between 15% and 25% THC.
Blue Dream has small to medium-sized buds that, when cured, have a popcorn-like, nugget shape. The leaves are primarily dark green. Interestingly, few phenotypes show the blue to lavender hues so often associated with parent strain Blueberry. Blue Dream’s plentiful trichomes are often clear in color, meaning that, while sticky to the touch, leaves don’t always have the same silvery sheen as other resinous strains, nevertheless, these flowers are very sticky and can be tricky to break up without use of a grinder.
Buds of Blue Dream have a skunky-sweet smell with strong notes of berry and grape. There are also vaguely spicy and herbal undertones, evidence of the genetics inherited from parent strain Haze. This strain gives off a harsh smoke that can sting the sinuses and often induce coughing. On the exhale, the smoke retains a berry flavor, with some hints of herbs and musk. The odor from Blue Dream can linger for a while, and smokers concerned with discretion should take precautions.
The complex high from this strain starts off with a bracing head rush that grabs users quickly. Some changes in perception, like amplified sounds and colors, may be noticeable although not disorienting. This psychedelic effect may help smokers have an increased appreciation for music, art, or just rambling conversation. Blue Dream’s head-focused effects are soon met with a palpable sense of physical relaxation that spreads throughout the body. For the duration of the high, users enjoy a balance of mental invigoration and physical calm that lends itself to their setting or mood.

An ointment made of pomegranate rind and metal salts successfully combated MRSA, a notoriously hard-to-treat staph infection.
A research team at London’s Kingston University says that common hospital infections like the difficult−to−treat methicillin−resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be effectively treated by applying an ointment made of pomegranate rind.
Combining the pomegranate extract with metal salts combated MRSA most successfully. And adding vitamin C to the mix effectively warded off other infections often seen in hospitals.
How do the researchers feel about the harnessing the power of natural products to treat resistant infections? Fairly optimistic: '[i]t shows that nature still has a few tricks up its sleeve,' he said.
“We have developed a topical ointment that can successfully attack a range of drug−resistant microbes. It's a breakthrough and a striking example of the effectiveness of adding more components to create a more active product," says lead researcher Declan Naughton.
Hospital infections can be difficult to treat because they often become increasingly resistant to the use of common antibiotics. Such is the case with MRSA, the most familiar of the antibiotic resistant bugs.
“The increase in drug−resistant infections found in hospitals has made our research topical and pressing," said Naughton. "The idea of using a foodstuff is unusual and means that the body should be able to cope more easily with its application; patients are less likely to experience any major side−effects."
How do the researchers feel about the harnessing the power of natural products to treat resistant infections? Fairly optimistic: "[i]t shows that nature still has a few tricks up its sleeve," he said.
The research was reported in the British Journal of Biomedical Science and BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

This morning, on a whim, I decided to take a poll of my yoga-loving friends to see what their favorite yoga postures and least favorite yoga postures are. Knowing that yoga is an intensely personal, intensely subjective experience, the purpose of my asana inquisition was simply to gather information. Even before asking my questions, I understood that there were no right or wrong answers, that my friends’ opinions were entirely subjective. As a yoga teacher, experience has taught me a lot about how different our bodies are. While teaching a class, when I cue some poses (such as Double Pigeon), half of the class groans disgruntledly and the other half grins broadly. I don’t pretend to know why this is. I do know, however, that the more exposure I get to other people’s yogic experiences, the better I become at what I do and the more expansive my repertoire becomes both as a practicer and a practitioner of Emotional Yoga.
Back to my friends whom I am currently exploiting for my blogging practices. And, since I am already exploiting them, I will not add insult to injury by referring to them by name, but will make up imaginary names to protect their privacy.
My friend Mel, an Amazonian pregnant yoga teacher with arms and legs for days and a larger-than-life spirit responded immediately that her favorite has always been Goddess Pose.
I smiled. My own experience of Goddess Pose is of feeling worn out pretty quickly. My legs, while strong, tire easily when I access my own inner goddess. Perhaps this is a vestige of leftover self-esteem issues… Perhaps, my body simply isn’t built the same way as Mel’s. Whatever the case, she feels fully feminine, powerful and at home in the posture.
Mel is a tall, statuesque, slim woman (her current baby-bulge notwithstanding). Her limbs are long and her body seeks to be open at all times. Even the way she carries herself, shoulder’s back, head erect, denotes a certain level of expansive energy. She doesn’t want to be small. She doesn’t yearn for the protection and insulation that many people experience in Child’s Pose. Also, while I didn’t ask Mel about this, I know from our years of friendship that her childhood was fraught with pain. Perhaps (and this is just a guess), she equates this small, infantile posture with the sense of helpless discomfort that she felt until she grew up and was old enough to take care of herself. It’s no surprise that she wouldn’t want to revert to the posture of a child but instead craves to tap into the power of her adult female self. Today, Mel is a Goddess and she wants everyone to know it!
My next query I made of another friend of mine who I shall call Lisette. Lisette is a knockout blonde who I met many years ago in an inpatient eating disorder treatment facility. While her path to recovery has looked a lot different than my own, she is nonetheless a recovered bulimic and a sacred friend. She also has a yoga teacher training certification although she doesn’t currently teach yoga. Lisette’s response to my question “What’s your favorite yoga pose?” was emphatic.
Funnily, Lisette’s love of heart opening backbends belies her quietly unobtrusive mannerisms. She’s not one to open up a great deal about her feelings or her experiences. Yet, whenever she does so, I have always been struck by the look of relief that comes across her face. Every time Lisette has opened up to me, divulging some thought or feeling, she says she feels better. And, yet, her natural inclination is to resist talking about herself. It may seem dichotomous for her body to crave this intensely opening, exposed pose when Lisette is often closed off emotionally. It isn’t. Her body is trying to tell her something. She isn’t a closed person. She doesn’t want to be. The more Lisette releases her feelings, the better she feels. Much like the backbend which relieves all of the pressure that she feels from the postures she holds in her everyday life, stretching herself beyond her conversational comfort zones opens Lisette up and comes as a welcome relief for her.
Lisette’s least favorite yoga pose is a tossup between Pigeon Pose and Cow Face Pose. Her hips feel tense and she hates holding these postures long enough to let this tension dissipate. Not surprisingly, our hips are said to be our doorway into the past. They’re where we hold our memories. Lisette doesn’t like accessing her past. Believe me! Anytime we talk, it’s clear that Lisette has no interest in discussing her childhood or teenaged years. Even if the conversation drifts there, she will not linger long in the past. It’s no surprise that this reluctance to face stored tension translates into her yoga practice. In order to release stored pain (whether physical or emotional) we must sit with it long enough to feel it and release it and we must breathe through the process. Lisette isn’t quite ready to delve deep and stay deep. Not yet. I wonder if, in time, as she progresses further in her healing, her relationships with hip openers will change… Only time will tell.
A word about Cali. Okay, her name’s not really Cali; but, this friend is from California. Cali is laid back and exceedingly cool. She has been doing yoga for a decade and used it to help herself through a painful and messy divorce. I lovingly refer to her as the “Queen of the Props” because she owns bolsters, blocks, straps, and every yoga assistance device imaginable. She’ll spend five to ten minutes in a single yoga pose and jokingly refers to restorative yoga as her muse.
Cali and I met side-by-side in a yoga class years ago and connected over a mutual love of tea and writing. When I asked her for her favorite yoga pose, I expected her to reply with a restorative pose (such as Child’s Pose or Reclined Cobbler’s Pose). She didn’t.
The transition from Standing Split to Half Moon Pose or from Half Moon Pose to Standing Split is subtle. It involves the raising or the lowering of an arm and the closing or the opening of a hip. That’s it. Subtle shifts often produce monumental physical and emotional changes. Cali is someone who is especially sensitive to minute alterations. True, she’s laid back; but, in Cali’s life, the impact made by small shifts matters. I know this from our friendship. I know that she has a threshold for change and that the moment that something pushes her too far beyond her limits life becomes an emotional toboggan ride for her as she careens quickly downward. My laid back friend notices when things aren’t right and is deeply affected when she can’t be open. For her, closing her body or closing herself, even for a time, feels devastating.
My best friend, confidant, and the most fabulous woman I’ve ever met who I’ll call Lee is not a yogi by any means; but, she reports that her favorite pose is Shavasana (but only after a full yoga practice) and that her least favorite is Flying Lizard Pose. She’s a real athlete and she abhors Flying Lizard Pose because she can’t do it. Interestingly, because Lee is a body perpetually in motion who can’t meditate for more than three minutes at a time, Shavasana felt like an odd choice for her. And, yet, I think it speaks to her need to stop – something that she can only allow herself to do after she’s done all that needs to be done, finished all her work, crossed all of the items off her to-do list, etc., etc., etc. (you get the idea). And it’s no surprise that, for this perfectionist, Flying Lizard Pose would be the bane of her yoga existence. She doesn’t like the idea of not being able to do something, anything. We laughed together over how frustrated she gets when I do this pose because her inner competitor relentlessly berates her about not being “good enough” and in Flying Lizard Pose, she is forced to face a fundamental reality of human existence: we all fail sometimes, and that’s okay.

Discussion in 'General Electronics Chat' started by parmarbend, Jul 3, 2006.
i have an air conditioner whose fan stopped turning.
i tried opening the a/c but didnt see a place to add oil.
Also i dont know what type of oil to add - if oil is the problem.
I was told i could use WD-40. Is that true?
Before the a/c fan stopped turning, the a/c was blowing out the circuit breaker. I'm thinking the problem could be electrical.
any advice? Should I just call the repairman again or are there simple things I could do myself?
Most A/C's don't have oil tanks so to speak. You could try oiling the bearing connected to the fan(never hurts to oil the moving parts). Any oil is fine. You could use motor oil if you choose(we always use 10W-40 or whatever is chilling around the farm at the time. WD-40 is also a good choice. It is supposed to concentrate the area.
Do you hear any noise from the unit itself? Is the motor making a whining sound at all? Thanks.
With the a/c turned off at the unit AND the circuit breaker switched off (don't chop off any fingers), can you try to spin the fan by putting a screwdriver through the protection grill? In other words-is the fan free? Is it rubbing on the cowling or grill?
Does the compressor hum away for a while before the circuit breaker trips?
sounds like you could have a bad bearing in the fan motor, or pillow block bearing. If its tripping the breaker, that isnt a good thing. Also you may want to check to see if there is an overload protector built into the motor....if so that could be tripped.
