Many people do their banking, shopping, and even pay their bills online. Why not switch to online rent payments? They’re quick, easy, and tenants love having the choice to pay rent online.
Setting up an online account can take a few minutes and all you need is your bank information. The one-time set up can save you time and energy in the long run. Plus, if you use the same service for online rent payments and other landlord services, like online applications and tenant screening, you can have all your information in one spot.
Are you still waiting for a check in the mail, or visiting tenants to collect rent? Save yourself some time by allowing tenants to pay online. There’s no excuse for late payments and you can reduce trips to the bank to deposit checks. Some services even offer a turnaround time of 2 business days for payments, which means you’ll have access to your funds quicker.
According to a recent study published by the Federal Reserve, 74% of consumers accessed bank services online and 35% use mobile banking. As those numbers continue to grow, the option to be able to make rent payments online may become an expectation rather than a novelty.
Your tenants will appreciate the option to pay online, and a mobile-friendly option will appeal to a lot of renters.
Online rent payments are just another tool for landlords and property managers to make the rental process more efficient. You may need to tweak your lease to reflect this payment method.
Have you made the switch? We want to know! What’s your experience with online rent payments?

A tough pill to swallow? This can help!
The list goes on. The real problem arises when an owner does not immediately reveal to the veterinarian that they have been unable or unwilling to give the medication as instructed.
1) The pet’s condition worsens, the doctor is made aware of the dosing problems, and the patient possibly faces more strenuous treatment the second time around, since the disease condition has progressed.
2) The pet’s condition worsens, the doctor is not made aware of the dosing problems and subsequently goes on a wild-goose chase to figure out why the pet is not responding to treatment. The doctor may end up trying new drugs that the client is also unable to give. No one is helped.
Pilling your pet just got easier!
Greenies has engineered these tasty little hollow treats in beef or chicken-flavor for dogs and chicken or tuna-flavor for cats. There’s even a duck and pea formula for pets with food allergies.
Pill Pockets are easy to use: insert the pill or liquid medication into the Pill Pocket, squeeze the top shut, and feed it to your unsuspecting pet. Pill Pockets eliminate the need to use fatty foods such as hot dogs, cheese, and peanut butter to disguise medication.
Pets that take their full regimen of medicine are at lower risk of extended illness and pain or even secondary health problems. Secondary health issues are those that are caused by an untreated original illness. For example, a pet which refuses its medication for under-active thyroid could face obesity and skin disease as a result.
If your pet is a tough customer at dosing time, try Greenies Pill Pockets. The first ones are on us!

Lane brothers start 2011 with yet more success.
The Exmouth based Lane brothers, Ben and Alex have started the New Year in excellent form.
Ben Lane has been named in the England team for the Eight Nations competition which will take place next month.
At thirteen years of age, Ben is the youngest member of the team and he will lead England in the doubles and mixed events with regular partners Jess Pugh and Sean Vendy.
The first month of the New Year has been a very busy time for both Ben and his brother Alex.
Straight after the Christmas festivities, enjoyed at the Lane Exmouth home, the boys travelled to Hoensbroek in Holland to compete in an international tournament.
Ben battled his way through to the quarter finals of both the boy’s singles and the mixed event whilst Alex featured in the quarter finals of both the doubles and the singles.
Both boys have another year in their current respective age groups so these tournaments are giving them valuable European ranking points and international experience against older opposition!
Last weekend, in the Under-17 Gold Tournament, Alex won a gold and silver medal.
In the singles he beat D Adamson in the semi final 21-12, 21-7.
In the final against the more experienced Aaron Cheng of Surrey, he got himself into a very healthy position at 14-8 in the third end but could not hold his lead and eventually slipped to a 21-19 final game defeat.
In the doubles Alex and regular partner Sam Parson won against the top Scottish pair in the semi finals before claiming the gold medal, defeating D Adamson and J Smith 21-18, 21-16.
Ben Lane, playing up at the under-17 level, put up a fantastic display in the mixed event with Jess Pugh beating C Bambrick and J Moore (the pair have both represented England at under-16 level), before losing 25-23 in the final game against the top seeds, J Neil from Scotland and J Hart from Wales.
The next couple of weeks are going to continue to be busy for the boys as they are first attending England training camps at Milton Keynes and Hatfield and the competing in tournaments, first in Derby and then at Stoke on Trent.

A bank wire is a process of transferring money from one bank account to another. This method allows for the transferring of money to be made in cash through a cash office or via a bank account. To discover the best practices involved with accepting bank wires as a payment solution, it is advised that you consult with a professional consultancy firm.
In the fast pace world of business, time and its constraints can often handicap a business transaction. In order to make a fast money transfer between buyers and sellers, bankwires have proven to be a convenient money transfer method.
The transactions made through bank wires usually tend to be of smaller amounts rather than large volumes of money however any amount can be transferred electronically through a bank wire. The processing of a bank wire may often involve the bank making a small service charge for providing the service. It is important to find out beforehand what charge your bank may impose on your transfer of funds.
It is a safe and secure method of payment as the money is transferred directly between the payer and payee’s bank accounts with no physical movement of money. As a payment solution for smaller amounts, it is a safe, fast and convenient payment solution and a preferred option for companies employ that sell their products worldwide.

Police are investigating a burglary at a Fairway Green home that caused more than $10,000 worth of damage after thieves ripped out some of the home's copper-pipe plumbing.
A real estate agent notified the property manager Saturday night after spotting water running out of the garage. The radiators in the basement were ripped out and the copper pipes to the water heater, boiler and main water lines had been cut out.
Also missing was an air conditioning unit, a flat-screen TV and jewelry.
A neighbor told police that two men were seen on the property Thursday, walking around the house, but thought they were part of a maintenance crew.

I like Alice Cooper and Andy Williams, but I channel a different singer and song. In fact, I channel this singer and song throughout the year, regardless of school or school breaks.
Just listen or listen and watch. DO YOU HEAR ME?!
You heard me! Don’t make me drive up there, Deanne.
Great post, LD! Do you hear me?
SERIOUSLY, GREAT POST. DO YOU HEAR ME?!?
Thanks, Lisa. You need not shout. I’m right here. HA! oh, i crack myself up.
Hahahahaha!!! I didn’t have to watch or listen, I remember!
Come back and listen. Do you hear me? Do you care?
Are you listening to me – do you hear me.
Tomato – squash. It is all the same.
I love the fact that you emailed your son and asked. Cracks me up. You made my day.
Oh — I used to LOVE Missing Persons!!
Missing Persons was awesome. Dale rocked.
The last day of school is my second favorite day of the year, my first being the day they head back to school in September!
I agree with you, Nancy. Though school begins for us in August. Woo hoo!
I don’t know if wp can hear. I just found this, this morning. Talking with D#2 after her school day yesterday, she was just giddy in anticipation of just a few more days of school.
You had me, but then you included Missing Persons and my mind went blank. I had quite the crush on her in those formative junior high years.
Perhaps now you’ll have a different song in your head for the next several days.
Fun post, Lenore. All the good responses are taken, so I guess I’ll have to give the video a viewing!

This is something I am interested in as well. Not so much for the road car but the rally car. The amount of race/rally cars stolen is becoming a little alarming. Hell the last one I saw taken was actually still on the trailer and the tow vehicle was stolen with car & trailer attached. Makes me all the more keener to be able to turn up at the house & retrieve my vehicle with a little of my displeasure shown to those that have it! I have tried some trackers but when they arent in cellphone reception they are useless.
Had my "new" rollcage signed off by MSNZ tech and first ever scrutineer so I dont turn up to its first event & be denied!
Yea I am with you there! Its not just rego they still havent sorted but stuff like diesel milage as well. My aunts 09 Toyota Corolla nana car is a diesel & it still gets charged the same as a heavier vehicle... I know this change is just for rego but I would have expected them to be able to sort it out by now.
Heya guys & gals. Any of you lot that have road legal race vehicles like Rally or Targa cars had to rego your car since the new laws came in? What has it cost you for rego since the changes? Im interested to find out because after all the new law " Is all about the safety abilities of the car" isnt it! I'm pretty sure that my rally car is a lot safer to crash in rather than my road car!
Cut up and started making sump guard mounting tube. Mounted oil catch can. Reinstalled 3 of 4 axles. That list of million jobs to be done to finish it keeps getting longer everytime i scratch some off!
^ pretty much sums it up really. sad but true. I prefer to keep my money in my pocket & the cops outta my life.... ironic really when my father in law is one!
If you go to the sealed motokhana style event off pascoe st you dont need to worry about a helmet as the msnz rules its run by you dont need one. But if you go to one of the Auto X's you will need a helmet. They have thick cotton overalls you can use at the event if you dont have any overalls or the race type. Its always better to bring your own thou! As for a helmet if I am there you could use my Stilo one during the event as cars are numbered & spaced so you can run the rex & use mine. I always use a hood inside my helmet so you dont have to worry about cooties! Check out the Nelson Car club site. www.nelsoncarclub.co.nz Theres a Race your Road car event coming in Orion st, off Pascoe st 12th April. Quite a few events coming this year. Im plannin on havin rex ready for June gravel events, maybe Sandy bay sealed event in may if i am lucky!
Yea, something like that! If I cant get one locally I guess I will just have to go for a generic 3 gauge pod. There is plenty around, tardme etc etc but i thought there might be one thats designed more for the factory dash!
Anyone know of a 3 gauge pod that will mount in the top factory V5 dash pocket? I have taken the small flap door off the top of it and i want to mount the gauges there so its quicker & easier to see them rather than mounting lower down in the centre console.
How do I Move odometer reading Foward ?
Easy guys ... you will cause a rip in the space time continuum & likely create a black hole sucking us all in. Then no one could go for a drive in our subies!
I did have 1 of these left that came off my car thats now being turned into a rally car! If I can find youre more than welcome to have it then you'd only have to find the one for the other side. I will pm you if I can find it because I dont plan on putting it back on the car.
I havent noticed bro. I will go down the stereo wiring check first before digging in behind the dash.
Dunno bro. It was installed when I bought it. I replaced the Sony stereo that was in it with a better Sony I had which was just plug & play! I never thought about this being an issue in what the problem was. I never use the ciggy lighter for powering stuff so I have not noticed this before. The only reason it has popped up now is we had a family trip to Dunedin for a holiday & Rally Otago & I bought a usb charger for the phone because it chews thru battery power when in low reception areas. So not using the ciggy lighter & 4 years after buying the Rex I find an issue that could be the stereo install by a previous owner! Thanks mate!

Meanwhile, on "Fox News Sunday," Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Ca., vowed that even in the likelihood that the bill voted through by House Republicans fails in the Senate, they will draft another bill that will also take aim at Obamacare. He said a few options remain on the table to avoid a government shutdown and blamed the president should negotiate more with the GOP (at the same time as vowing continued Republican intransigence).

Sivakarthikeyan honored each and every member of the team with a special shield through a success meet that took place on Monday evening.
The producer in Sivakarthikeyan is a happy man at the start of 2019, with his first production venture Kanaa turning out to be a profitable venture at the box office. In fact, the film with its well-controlled budget and proper pre-release business was on the safe side even before the release, with its theatricals too earning it a good fare of money. Sivakarthikeyan honored each and every member of the team with a special shield through a success meet that took place on Monday evening. Speaking at the event, he confirmed that Kanaa was indeed a profitable venture for him and his company, and also said that a share of the profits would be contributed to the well-being of the farmer community.
As the film itself speaks about farmers and their struggle to bring up their families, this lovely initiative has gone well with the public who have lauded Sivakarthikeyan for his quick and assertive action. Apart from announcing this move, the actor-producer also made it a point to appreciate the efforts of the cast and crew. He specifically mentioned senior actor Sathyaraj’s inclusion in two of his career’s biggest stepping stones – Varuthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam and Kanaa.
Sivakarthikeyan’s next production is a comic entertainer that features Rio Raj and RJ Vigneshkanth in the cast. As an actor, he is currently working on the Rajesh film which has Nayanthara as the female lead. After this, he would be looking to complete the sci-fi entertainer with Ravikumar before moving onto his projects with PS Mithran and Vignesh Shivn. A busy year ahead for sure!

After graduating, I moved to Portland, Oregon and began Deoria Made, a small business specializing in wooden hard-goods. In 2017 I returned to the Sonoran Desert to learn about the materials and landscape native to Tucson that make it such a special place. I now specialize in fine furniture, exploring the boundary between fine art and craft. Sometimes that manifests itself as utilitarian goods like furniture, and other times it results in art objects, such as wall hangings.

Flora Belle Buckman, the comic-reading cynic, rescues a squirrel after an accident in the neighbor’s backyard involving a seemingly possessed super-suction, multi-terrain 2000X vacuum cleaner. The altercation leaves the squirrel, later named Ulysses, with astonishing powers of strength, flight, and a poetic awakening. The story tells of the summer adventures had by these two in attempting to prove the special powers of Ulysses, while also touching on such topics as divorce, step-parent relations, and children’s fears of abandonment.
I found this type of fantasy to have an interesting approach to how a young girl deals with the strange and sometimes difficult circumstances of her life, in particular those dictated by the adults around her. This fantasy tale includes a typewriting superhero squirrel, a nerdy and needy neighbor kid named William Spiver, and a young girl who in times of trouble seeks guidance from her one source of truth and justice, the comic book The Illuminated Adventures of the Amazing Incandesto!
This book was a fun read. There are sections where the narrative goes into comic book style, with the verbiage sounding much like a superhero adventure story. It includes terms such as “Holy unanticipated occurrences!” and, ever so popular with both Flora and her father, “Holy bagumba!” The illustrations support this comic style by including some pages with comic book block storyline sequences and inner monologues of the squirrel in “super hero” mode. Flora makes many references to the Incandesto comic book, in particular the answer to all dilemmas section, TERRIBLE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. I found it interesting how the main character, Flora, being the cynic she was, was able to rationalize the events of the moment by comparing them to the adventures of Incandesto, and thus her actions made perfect sense—at least to her.
Recommended for readers ages 8-12.

Laura and I have been exploring different types of heroes this week. Today’s selection features Ivan, a silverback gorilla.
I saw a new book in the library the other day – Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla by Katherine Applegate. While flipping through the colorful picture book, I was reminded of how much I had enjoyed Applegate’s Newberry winner, The One and Only Ivan.
Ivan is one of the animal attractions at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade. In fact, he is one of the featured attractions on the billboard that he can see outside the window of his small enclosure. He spends his time watching TV; talking with his friends Bob, a stray dog, and Stella, an older elephant; and painting pictures. Ivan chooses not to remember what life was like prior to coming to the shopping mall.
When the shopping mall owner buys a younger elephant to bring excitement – and more paying customers – to the Big Top Show, Ivan makes a promise to Stella to help Ruby find a safe place to grow up. That promise leads Ivan to remember what it was like before he was caught and put in the cage. That promise leads Ivan to figure out a creative way to send a message to the Julia and George, the humans he trusts. That promise leads not only to Ruby finding a good home in a zoo, but Ivan finding a home with other gorillas and lots of open sky.
The story is told in simple sentences through the unique perspective of Ivan. Of course, the story is the author’s imaging of what Ivan was thinking and going through, but I forgot that part as I rooted for Ivan’s friends to understand what he was trying to say.
Publisher’s Weekly recommends the title for ages 8-12. But I think it was well worth taking an hour or so to read the story. It is also available as an audiobook, well-read by Adam Grupper, if you would prefer that format.
As I wrote about last year at this time, many readers first come to stories of the uncanny in their youth. In browsing the catalog for a collection of ghost stories for younger readers, I came across this delightful anthology compiled by Barry Moser. Moser is an noted artist, especially at printmaking and woodcuts, and his work graces the pages here. He also clearly has an ear for a good ghost story.
None of the stories here is overly scary (well, maybe “The Monkey’s Paw” is for me), and a couple of them are pretty mild as far as ghost stories go by modern standards. But they are fun stories to read, and perhaps to read aloud. Moser’s illustrations add an extra frisson to the general eeriness.
Bo Whaley lives on an Air Force base in North Carolina. His father is the base commander, which just makes life complicated, especially when most of the kids in his class also live on base. To make life even more convoluted, his cousin Gari arrives from Seattle to live with him because her mother is being deployed to Iraq. They are assigned to the same class to help Gari fit in, but things go badly between them from the start.
The only good thing that is happening to Bo is his new teacher. Ms. Loupe, who is in her first year of teaching, has a tattoo and is young enough to have been taught by the principal. For Bo the best thing about her is her passion for theater. She engages the class in improv involving a beaten up couch, and Bo discovers in himself a talent for acting that previous teachers had seen as a propensity to talk and goof-off in class. His enthusiasm grows until he discovers that the big theater camp that the teacher is planning will be held next summer. He will be gone then, when his family is sent to their next military assignment, which makes Bo furious with the military lifestyle.
Ms. Loupe also gets the class working on a project to send supplies to her brother, who is stationed in Afghanistan. When her brother is declared missing in action, Ms. Loupe is understandably distraught, and Bo’s whole class want to help. In the most moving part of the book Bo, his cousin Gari, Ms. Loupe’s entire class and finally the whole community find a way to work together and, if not fix the unfixable, at least make things better. In the process they learn about each other, themselves, friendship and community.
In turn hilarious and heartbreaking, Operation Yes is aimed at middle grades, but has a lot to offer adults. As a librarian I love the literary profanity that the school librarian indulges in : “‘Frog and Toad!’ Miss Candy said. ‘Not again!'” or “Green Eggs and Ham!” I am doing a project on books featuring children with parents in U.S. military, and some of these books are impossible to get through without crying. Operation Yes is definitely in this category. Read it for a moving portrait of a community coming together or an accurate depiction of the military family lifestyle.

The story starts five years after Jamie’s sister Rose was killed in a terrorist attack in Trafalgar Square. His dad promises they are making a new start – but it’s a new start without their mother who has stayed in London to live with a man from her support group. Jamie and his big sister, Jas (Rose’s twin), have hopes that maybe it will be different in this new town. But then their dad puts the gold urn with Rose’s remains on the mantel, and they realize nothing has really changed.
Jamie has quite a few typical – and not so typical – challenges to overcome as a newcomer to this small town. He has to start a new school and while it is a relief not to be identified as “poor Rose’s brother” it’s still difficult to make new friends. He doesn’t seem to fit in with anyone, except a Muslim girl named Sunya. But being friends with Sunya would make his dad mad because his dad blames all Muslims for the terrorist attack.
Jamie would also have you believe he didn’t care that he hadn’t seen his mother, yet he can quickly count off how many days it had been since she walked out. And he faithfully wears the Spiderman t-shirt she gave him for his birthday every day in case she visits so she’ll see how much he loves it.
You may need to have some tissues handy, but the story isn’t told in an overly sentimental manner. Coming from Jamie’s perspective you understand why losing his sister when he was five-years-old isn’t as real to him as making friends at school or making the winning goal of a soccer match. And it’s heartbreaking when Jamie finally understands the grief his parents must feel after losing Rose.
I would recommend this book for all ages. While Jamie sees things in a very kid-like fashion, the issues he deals with – abandonment, loss, grief, friendship, racism, bullying – can be understood from all ages. As an adult I ached as well as rooted for him and his sister, two decent kids trying to make it without the solid support of either parent. And at the end they do seem to be in a better place.
The printed book was checked out when I selected it but I absolutely loved hearing the audiobook read by Scottish actor David Tennant of Dr. Who and Harry Potter fame. Tennant did a superb job making me believe I was listening to Jamie.
Piper Reed is irrepressible. In the vein of children’s literature’s girl-heroes like Ramona Quimby or Pippi Longstocking she faces life with strong opinions and some crazy ideas, but a good heart.
In the Navy or not, Piper finds it difficult to pack up in San Diego and drive all the way to the other side of the country to Pensacola, Florida, especially as the middle child, with an increasingly moody older sister in middle school and an annoying younger sister who considers herself a genius. When they first get to Pensacola, Piper is moved to write “My Why-I-Wish-We’d-Never-Moved List,” including things like “I had my own room in San Diego” and “I had a tree house in San Diego.” But Piper can’t be held down for long and she soon cooks up a scheme to make new friends involving her sister pretending to be a fortune-teller. As time passes she discovers the joys of Florida in the form of a new family dog, the nearby beach, and the Blue Angels demonstration planes.
Piper hasn’t seen her extended family for two years, and when they visit her grandparents on their cross-country car trip, she can’t imagine living down the street from grandparents like her cousins do.
Piper’s little sister, Sam, is distraught when Annie the doll is inadvertently packed in a box during the move from San Diego to Florida.
The book ends as Piper’s family farewell’s her father for six-months, as he is regularly at sea for that long.
If you remember Ramona Quimby fondly (she first appeared in print in 1955) then stop in to visit Piper Reed and you’ll find her just as funny and character driven as Ramona. Even if you don’t remember Ramona, read Piper Reed, Navy Brat for a portrait of a strong, resilient family weathering life’s ups and downs.

To start the new year, the team at CKSource has released new versions of CKEditor and CKFinder.
It is an evolution of the previous version. It's focused mostly on introducing New features, several of them to bring back parts of the old FCKeditor feature set, but there are also new parts like the integration with jQuery and the new Paste system that allows to have a control about what's being pasted into the content.
As these features have been rewritten, don't be surprised if there's a little bug here and there, so if you're sure that something isn't working then head up to the dev site and search for existing bugs (if it's something obvious and easy to reproduce it's highly likely that someone has already reported it). If you can't find any ticket about the problem then file a new one with the steps to reproduce the problem (what's the browser, a sample page to load, what must be done after the page is loaded...) and then if it's confirmed it might be fixed in a future release.
The best way to learn more about the new features is to read the announcement by Frederico and then download CKEditor 3.1 to test them.
Just remember that there's a lot of work going on in CKEditor as you can see in the roadmap.
The simple announcement by Wiktor explains it well, some little bugs, improved compatibility and new translations. The focus of the work is now on the new version that will try to address the missing features that are requested in the CKFinder forum and trying to look even further by making it possible to create more easily new features in the future that no one has dared to request.
There's one thing to notice about this release, as I explained in the previous post Firefox 3.6 hasn't included support of onreadystatechange and the previous versions of CKFinder fail to enable the upload button. The new release includes a little workaround so download CKFinder before your users upgrade to Firefox 3.6 and they call you to ask why does it fail.
Today I was checking something about CKFinder and I've realized that the Upload button doesn't work in the latest beta of Firefox 3.6.
The fact that Firefox includes a property that was previously supported by IE (and IIRC also Opera and Webkit) shouldn't break anything, that code path uses the document.onreadystatechange to properly listen for the change of state and finish the initialization.
The real problem is that such event hasn't been added to Firefox, so the code never executes!
Everything was OK without support for document.readyState, but now they have added it without including the document.onreadystatechange, so things might get broken due to this big oversight. I suggest all of you to review your code and check for the usage of this event (not to be confused with XHR.onreadystatechange) because Firefox 3.6 might be a real pain for you if you don't patch your code it in due time.
Mozilla guys: thank you for bringing us this extra work.
Recently all the browsers that are implementing the latest and greatest elements of CSS 3 have added support for CSS Transforms, and so I decided to have a little fun while creating a little example about how to create a custom dropdown element in the CKEditor toolbar.
The idea is to provide a new dropdown that allows the user to set the zoom level for the editor, this example is gonna be a little rough and it can be greatly improved, but this is mostly a proof of concept about how to do it.
For this plugin we need to be sure that the code from the "richcombo" plugin is loaded, as that's the real code that will create the dropdown element, so we specify it in the requires field of the plugin.
You can place an alert() inside the init function to verify that the plugin is being loaded when you refresh the page with CKEditor. If it doesn't work, verify the error console and try to clear your cache.
This code blindly tries to set the property for each browser, without bothering about which one is being used of if it supports CSS Transforms at all. We know that IE doesn't support them, but it has supported since long ago the style.zoom so in this case we can use just that.
A correct implementation of the plugin should verify that the browser does support CSS Transforms (or is IE and can use .zoom) before adding the RichCombo, and in the onClick event handler should use just the correct property instead of trying all of them.
This plugin also lacks internationalization, because that wasn't the point of this test, but it should be easy to add and to fix other little things.
The first one is that the width of the combo in the toolbar is a little too big to specify some little text like "100%". This is being tracked in ticket 4559 but as you can see by reading all the comments there's no easy solution that can be applied to automatically fix it. So the solution is to add some rules in the stylesheet, although that makes deploying the plugin a little harder. Maybe the RichCombo should be allowed to specify a width in its definition?
The second problem appears only in Webkit browsers (Safari and Chrome), when you open up the panel it will take full height, and it's a little ugly. Other combos have their size specified in the skins css but that doesn't seems like a good solution if you want to publish a plugin that will be used for other people, as well as making upgrading a little harder.
A new version of the plugin compatible with CKEditor 4 is available at the plugins repository. Zoom plugin.

“Whether you are grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a fancy dinner, you want to know that the food was prepared in a kitchen that is clean and safe.” That”s how county supervisor Joe Simitian summarized his push for a major countywide system that will eventually rate every one of the 8,000 dining places in the county and later all food trucks and caterers.
It will require posting in the front a placard with a red, yellow or green color and also put online the complete results of most recent inspections along with any past violations.
This significant public health program launched over the past year by the county”s Department of Environmental Health has been tested, vetted and analyzed at workshops along with a huge number of public comments. There are also on-going class sessions for restaurant operators and their staffs. And now it is ready for a rollout.
A variation of this program has been working for several years in many other jurisdictions including Sacramento, San Diego, Alameda and Los Angeles counties but our county has carefully tweaked it to fit locally. And it appears to have the support of the dining industry, according to DEH Consumer Protection Director Mike Balliett.
The three principal grades that will apply is the green card, which can be earned with a perfect inspection or nothing worse that one serious violation which was corrected immediately. The yellow placard denotes that two such violations have taken place. A red card, with a trio of serious flaws, will shut the restaurant down until corrections take place.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that nationally 76 million cases of food-borne illnesses occur annually causing 5,000 deaths and 325,000 hospitalizations.
The website at sccgov.org/SCCDineOut will provide the food facility inspection results and also list the restaurants that have been shut down for food safety violations over the past six months.
The county”s 38 inspectors will begin using the placard and website system as they complete their regular inspections here in San Jose and all the other cities. So the visual impact will be gradual although it will be sending important signals to all the other food service operations. In addition to restaurants, the new regulatory system covers markets, bakeries, liquor stores, bars, farmers” markets, food services at fairs and festivals, ice cream and hot dog carts, food trucks, produce trucks and food vending machines.
The educational effort will provide classes in various languages, reviews of new facilities and remodelings, and will issue permits. Classes are also held to qualify food operators and managers for state food safety certification.
We think both the public and the food industry will be well served by the new system and in particular here where we have such a broad diversity of food serving practices and cuisines.

Difference comparison between E65x-C2 and E65-C3: The 65x-C2 has 15 watt speakers and a 60Hz native panel with 120Hz “Effective refresh rate”. The E65-C3 has 10W speakers, and a 120Hz native panel (240Hz “Effective refresh rate”). The E65-C3 has 4 HDMI inputs while the E65x-C2 has 3. The C3 model also has more colors from grayscale.
Vizio's 65-inch product is of a similar package and quality to last years. There are a few upgrades and downgrades. Price is of course one of the most attractive features. The E65-C1 features full-array LED backlighting instead of the edge-lit variety on most low to mid grade LED TV products. The 65 inch size has 16 zones of Active dimming for enhanced contrast, more than the smaller sizes and same as last year. Vizio Internet Apps Plus is also included in the E series for the first time.
The E65 has a good quality picture after calibration. Picture depth is pretty solid from front and center.
The Vizio E65 is an excellent choice for an entry level TV. The “E” stands for “Entry” level after all. One attribute that makes the E-series compelling is the 16 active full array backlighting zones resulting in a more even distribution of backlighting with less clouding/blooming than mid grade edge lit LED backlit TVs. The 65”-70” have 16 zones, the 50” to 60” have 12 zones while the 48 inch and lower have a still ample 6. More zones are better because their divisions become less noticable to a watchful eye, but the smaller screen sizes do not need as many since the zones are smaller. While the full array backlighting delivers better screen uniformity when displaying blacks and dark scenes, we did not see a better contrast benefit from the local dimming on the E-series. Colors also going benefit from this backlighting scheme, as there is less washout and uniformity issues. Also, the 120Hz effective refresh rate with a 480 Clear Action Rate backlight scanning feature improves judder and motion blur. The Clear Action Rate feature may produce negative effects in some circumstances and is better left off for movies and regular TV programs.
Both the E65 models present a strong value on all fronts for an entry level LED TV. The $999 is a great deal for a 65” panel of this quality. Strong contrast and picture depth from front and center is the highlight in the picture quality realm. Vizio Internet Apps Plus don't do anything new for the platform, but everything works well and doesn't leave much to be desired. Some downsides are a non-backlit basic non QWERTY remote, 2-point white balance picture settings, and a non-swivel stand. But these aren't dealbreakers by any means. Between the two models I like the E65-C3 better with the higher refresh rate for gamers and sports watchers.
240Hz “Effective Refresh Rate” which means backlight manipulated 60Hz native refresh rate.

There's a reason why peacocks strut their stuff. You know that reason. Double Duty Handles, this style also has a convenient shoulder length strap. Made with 95% post consumer recycled material.
I love this shopper. The addition of both long and short handle options on your bags is great. I have Blue Q bags for everything--shopping, knitting, pencils, make-up--I even haul drums and tambourines in them. I love giving a gift, then "wrapping" it in a Blue Q bag. Keep these wonderful designs coming.
I just went shopping today at my local independent bookseller, and look what I got! I added this gorgeous shopper to my ever-expanding Blue Q bag collection, and now I will be able to carry even more 6-packs of beer to my car. The hues are brilliant on my sturdy and roomy bag. I'm pretty sure that when I carry it, people will notice it more than my own wide "plumage". Thank you Blue Q for making recycled material and me look cool.

Wait, did you just land yourself another customer? That’s great news but before you toast, let’s take a moment to think whether you have the sales process aligned the right way.
Customer loyalty, after all, is what will help you do business in the longer run.
And if you ask me, having the right communication goes a long way in winning customers over. It’s what creates repeat customers, and brings in word of mouth publicity.
The real war starts after your customers purchase what you’ve to offer, and it’s also where the right email communication campaign strategy comes in.
– Do you take care of your customer needs?
– Does your customer have any query post-purchase?
– If so, how do you plan to solve it?
If you’re looking to have a business or an online shop that is well structured, strong and successful, you need to focus on your customers.
Talk about new deals, offers, and new trends – all things that offer a long term value to customers. Writing emails regularly as a post-purchase strategy helps you achieve that significantly.
I know – you want to increase sales by luring new customers in and retaining the old customers. Don’t worry – a few simple tricks can do it.
Ever opened an email to see that it talks about something you aren’t interested in? We all have. And it isn’t something great, right?
Your customers want something useful. If you don’t give something they want, your emails might end up being ignored.
Simple other strategies like having a post-purchase email is a great way to tell your customers that you’re keeping track of things every step of the way.
Just list out the total amount of money spend on items, kind of like Amazon does. Tell amount the date by which you’re going to ship the item, and when your customer can expect it; surely, an easy way to earn a customer’s trust.
When formulating market emails, remember that customers are different.
Like to see emails sent to you with your name on it? Or Don’t forget, personalization is the key when adapting to the segmentation option. It’s what makes customers feel like the business cares about them.
You could even send across emails in the local language to make people connect to your brand better.
The time to guess what customers really want is long gone. You do not have to rely on historical data to know the spending habits or purchase habits of your customers.
Instead, you can get real-time data on different metrics, whether it be what your customers are purchasing, how much time they spend on your website, what they like to view, and more.
It could help in simple things like sending personalized post-purchase emails. For example, you can segment a message or an email directed to specific customers – let’s say those who have purchased goods worth more than $2000. More business means better revenues and higher sales – and you might just want to reward those customers for making them feel more loyal to your brand.
Find that same email from that travel company – with the same deal they have for everyone else?
Not creating unique offers, and sending in the same deal every day isn’t going to help. It’s just going to ensure that your email heads to the spam folder sooner than later if they don’t unsubscribe altogether.
Customers do not want to be bothered all the time. See how often your customers read emails. When you have good content and a great offer, it’s time to send in a new email.
The frequency strategy is what will make you know when to send a message to a customer and when to keep away. Do not choke your customers with your many emails – know when to stay away.
Different text placements offer different results.
You wouldn’t know what works best for you if you aren’t running a routine test to optimize campaigns. Test out different post-purchase emails, and see which ones get the best responses. You might just want to stick with them.
Emails aren’t just great when it comes to getting the attention of prospective customers pre-sale. They are a great way to keep customers in your company’s ecosystem. The question is, are you playing your cards right? Let Unified do the work for you through our managed email marketing program; you can start your free trial which has our marketing pros outline your email marketing funnel for pre and post-purchase.

Yes chimpos, the five-spoke Punk and multi-spoke Snoop may look remarkably massive on our doorstep because of the small stature of our girlie, but they’re actually only 8x18s.

Anyway, they come in most five-stud applications with offsets ranging between 38-45mm.
We just lurrrrve the funky matt and gloss black finishes too and how about that trick diamond cutting? Nice work ZCW, very nice work!

This the first factor that you should consider while choosing a foot massager. Make sure that the foot massager has enough space to accommodate your feet comfortably. Foot massagers that come with calf massage feature are comparatively larger and heavier compared to manual massagers.
4. How many massaging modes does it have?
It is important to consider the massaging action because it has a direct impact on the effects of the massage. Here are some of the common massaging modes available in foot massagers for home use.
Vibration: It helps to loosen up the muscles more quickly. Gentle vibration is also easy on painful and sore muscles.
Kneading: This action provides deeper impact on the muscles and calves.
Shitasu: This traditional Japanese massage method uses similar pressure experienced by hand massage. In some cases, this type of massaging modes include heat as well for better relief.
Compression: In this mode, pressure is directly applied to the painful areas for relaxation and rejuvenation of muscles. This massaging mode also dilates the capillaries which in turn improve the blood circulation issues.
Infrared: The invisible infrared rays will penetrate into the muscles deeply to provide relief and other health benefits. These rays elevate the surface temperature in order to relax the stiff muscles and increase the blood circulation. This functionality is combined with other massaging modes to provide maximum relief.
Hydrotherapy: This massaging mode uses water pressure to relax the muscles, relieve pain, release knots and increase circulation.

The Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, wrote: “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” It’s a great observation, one that most of us should take to heart. As business professionals, it is so easy to get caught up in anticipating the future, placing bets on what’s to come and incessantly maneuvering to improve our own position within the firm. So easy, in fact, that we often fail to recognize the effect that we are having on the people that we work with and the businesses in which we work.
I don’t know about you, but, I want to be able to look back at my professional life and have no regrets as to the way that I treated the people that I worked with and for. Here are four principles that I try to live by. They have served me well. I hope that they can help you, too.
Right is right: No amount of spin and positioning ever changes this fact. Sure, if you want to make yourself feel good, you can run free and easy with the facts and disregard the spirit of your agreements. But, at the end of the day, your true character bleeds through. Once that’s exposed to you and your colleagues and customers, it’s nearly impossible to wash out.
Your words matter: Words are powerful indicators of your character. They can be used to enlighten. They can be used to deceive. Exaggeration and failing to reveal pertinent information are also ways in which we use words to manipulate situations and bend them in our favor. Work to eliminate any ambiguity in what you’re saying. If you always tell the truth, there’s no need to spend time avoiding it!
Your deeds matter: You can say anything, but, it’s your actions that count the most. If you’ve done something wrong, you should do whatever it takes to make it right. Certainly, we’ve all made mistakes. But, the difference between high integrity people and those that choose the easy way out is how hard they’re willing to work to correct a bad situation that they had a hand in creating.
Honor is gained only through trustworthiness: Saving the best for last, trustworthiness is the foundation of a high integrity business life. Without it, you have nothing. But, when you are trustworthy, your words and actions hold extraordinary value. You don’t spend your time making excuses for not following-though on what you’ve said. You don’t forget your promises when emerging situations make it convenient to do so. Consistently conduct your affairs in a manner that is worthy of trust and an honorable business life will have fallen into place.
To close, I recognize that the concepts offered here are simple to list and much harder to live by. Not reserved for just your business life, these rules underpin what makes-up a good person - one who is respected and admired - in any walk of life. Sure, it’s easier to be deceitful and selfish than to operate at a high-level of integrity. But, when given a choice (and we all have a choice), don’t you want to be able to look back at your professional life with pride and appreciation, knowing that you did whatever it took to maintain your integrity? For me, it’s worth more than money!

In a world first, researchers at The University of Western Australia have discovered a communication breakdown may be responsible for causing heart failure in people with muscular dystrophy.
According to a study, mice that lacked the protein dystrophin had impaired functional communication between a calcium channel in the muscle cell membrane and the mitochondria that are responsible for producing the energy.
It’s understood that the hearts of muscular dystrophy patients fail but the mechanisms are unknown. It has also been previously reported that a lack of the protein dystrophin (responsible for muscular dystrophy) alters calcium channel function. In the latest study the researchers have identified a link between the channel and the mitochondria that involves dystrophin. In muscular dystrophy the functional communication between the channel and the mitochondria is impaired.
“This is an important finding, because it provides insight into a mechanism for the development of heart failure in muscular dystrophy,” Professor Hool said. “In addition, we have demonstrated that treatment of the mice with morpholino oligomer peptides that induce functional expression of dystrophin rescued metabolic activity in the mice.
“This study is exciting because it validates our hypothesis that the channel maintains normal metabolic activity by communicating with the mitochondria through the structural proteins. In muscular dystrophy hearts the communication is impaired because dystrophin is lacking.
The ground-breaking research is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, Australian Research Council of Australia, Heart Foundation of Australia, National Institutes of Health USA and Muscular Dystrophy Association USA. The collaborative group also holds NHMRC Project Grants to further improve uptake of the oligomer peptides into the heart so that therapy can be optimised in boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
The study was published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences USA.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Alphabet Inc's Google said last Thursday it is acquiring software developer Apigee Corp in a deal valued at about $625 million, the tech giant’s latest effort to claim a greater share of the lucrative cloud business.
San Jose-based Apigee's software helps companies' digital services interact with apps used by customers and partners.
The service is critical for businesses transitioning to the cloud, Diane Greene, who runs Google's cloud computing division, said in an interview. "They are a leader in this application programing interface area," she said.
Cloud computing is the increasingly popular practice of using remote internet servers to store, manage and process data.
Apigee specializes in managing application programming interfaces, or APIs, the channels through which digital services connect when a company logs a purchase for a customer or places an order with a supplier.
Google will pay Apigee shareholders $17.40 for each share, a 6.5 percent premium to the stock's last Wednesday close.
Apigee's shares were slightly above the offer price at $17.43 on Nasdaq in afternoon trading last Thursday.
Greene, a former VMware CEO, has pushed to raise Google's profile in corporate computing since she joined last year.
During her tenure, Google has streamlined engineering efforts and appointed new leadership for its cloud efforts, improving traction with clients, Google Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai said during the company's latest earnings call.
Greene predicted that the Apigee acquisition would redouble Google's momentum.
"Our customer lists are extremely complimentary," she said. "There's some overlap and some areas where we are going to be able to help each other once [the deal] closes."
Google, Amazon.com Inc, Microsoft Corp, IBM Corp and others are vying for a share of the fast-growing corporate cloud computing business.
Apigee, with high-profile clients in a strategically important area, will help Google close in on the competition, said analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy.
“Google has fallen behind both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services in enterprise cloud computing, and this move is intended to strengthen that position,” he wrote in an email.

what does your pricing start at?
My pricing begins at $4,000. Please send me an email if you're interested in hearing more about the packages that I offer. Discounts are provided for destination weddings or elopements in certain parts of the world. Click here to learn more.
All of my packages include: Two photographers, an engagement session, a USB with all the high resolution images and an online gallery to share with family & friends.
One of my absolute favourite things to do is travel and explore new places! If you have a destination wedding, please don't hesitate to send me an email. I offer discounts for weddings in parts of Europe, Oregon, California and more.
What is the difference between film & digital?
There's a certain quality about film that photographers have been trying to replicate for years, and have been unsuccessful in doing so. Film is timeless. The colours, tones, soft but sharpness, and depth of field is remarkable and so true to the way the human eye sees things. Although most couples I talk to may not be able to pinpoint the exact difference between the two, I notice they are always drawn more to the quality of the film photographs. Does this mean I shoot film for an entire wedding? Certainly not and especially not if it's an indoor reception. I choose and pick points of the day I think would look magical on film (bride & groom portraits, morning portraits, details throughout the day) and use digital to capture everything else. When it comes to the final package, film & digital will be sown in seamlessly together to create a beautiful presentation of your wedding day.
Yes I offer prints & albums to my couples after their wedding, using only the best & highest quality printing companies in Canada. More information will be provided during our meeting.
You should expect to receive anywhere from 600-800+ edited highresolution images of your wedding day. The engagement session ranges from 80-200 edited high-resolution images.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush talks to reporters after a town hall meeting at a gun factory called FN America in Columbia, S.C., Feb. 16, 2016.
GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush sent out a tweet Tuesday with a picture of a gun engraved with his name, accompanied with one word: “America.” And the Internet immediately pounced. Some chided the decision to equate the country’s turbulent history with firearms, while others took the opportunity to simply poke fun at Bush.
So why did he (or his campaign’s social media manager) do it? Well, it’s not entirely clear. NBC’s Jordan Frasier witnessed an exchange during which Bush was questioned about the now viral tweet.
Even though he has an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association, Bush never owned a gun (until today, it seems).
