In this design, multiple web browsers connect to a single web server machine. The web server machine is running Microsoft Windows NT as the operating system, a web server such as IIS, the Hub at a certain capacity, and one or more instances of a custom EXE built with the WebHub components. There is usually a database on the same machine which could be moved to a separate machine.
This setup can serve 30 to 4800 page requests per minute depending on how long your average page calculation takes, and how many instances of your EXE you run.
Remember to distinguish connected surfers vs. simultaneous page requests. If you have 1000 connected surfers, and they all request 1 page every 10 seconds, then you have 100 simultaneous page requests, where simultaneous is defined as per-second.
By upgrading the Hub Capacity and running more instances of the EXE, you can move from low to medium traffic with relative ease. The limits will be set by the capacity of the physical machine to run the desired software and on the overall capacity of the database engine.
To calculate total number of pages that would be served per day, take the number per minute multiplied by 1440. For example, the low-end configuration would serve 30 x 1440 which equals 43,200 pages per day. The majority of web sites serve less than 10,000 pages per day, so a 1-EXE setup will suffice for most situations.
WebHub applications can work equally well on a single Internet domain or multiple domains. For example, you can write a generic WebHub application that services both www.site1.com and www.site2.com running on the same physical machine. There is no limit, per se, on the number of pages or features that you can include in that EXE. If both sites are fairly low traffic, the single EXE could serve both of them.
The Hub is licensed based on usage on a physical machine. It is up to the developer to decide how many domains, CPUS, or RAM to put in that machine. Hub v2.x license pricing is based on the number of CPUs on the machine.
There are no surcharges to have a separate database server, even if that database server is an integral part of the web application.

NEW LONDON, Conn.--Senior Tina Balzotti (Duxbury, Mass.) exploded with six goals, reaching another career milestone by netting her 100th collegiate marker in leading the Connecticut College women's lacrosse team to its second straight win, a 17-8 triumph over Western Connecticut State University Thursday night in the Whaling City.
The Camels improved their record to 3-10 while the Colonials fell to 6-8.
Senior Lacey Hale (Winchester, Mass.), Jamie Navoni (Natick, Mass.) and Kirby Heffrin (Marblehead, Mass.) scored two goals each. Anna Jorgensen (Ridgewood, N.J.) and Hannah Donegan (Great Falls, Va.) both sandwiched goals around a pair of assists in three point nights for the hosts. Erin Martin (Scituate, Mass.) and Navoni had four ground balls each in the triumph.
Meg Raskin (Westwood, Mass.) made six saves in the opening half. Megan Mullin (Sudbury, Mass.) Stopped four shots in the second stanza.
Western Connecticut State University junior midfielder Olivia Kosilla (Ellington, Conn.) had five goals and three assists in the loss. Rookie attack Brooke Baldelli (New Fairfield, Conn.) scored two goals and assisted on three others to finish with five points in the loss.
Senior Missy O'Donnell (Bridgeport, Conn.) made nine saves in the setback.
Loesch beat the buzzer with a goal just .8 seconds left in the opening half to vault the Camels out to an 8-4 lead at the break. Kosilla got one back for the Colonials 1:09 into the second half to make it an 8-5 game. But Balzotti scored on the ensuing possession to push the lead back to 9-5. Then with 24:19 to play, Donegan assisted Balzotti on her fourth goal of the night that put her in the century club, catapulting the Camels out to a 10-5 advantage. Connecticut College continued to pull away en route to the 17-8 win.

Silver Fields Resources Inc. (TSXV: SF) is an exploration company focusing on exploring for precious metals on mineral properties acquired in North and Central America.
The company’s primary focus is Silver with current projects located in British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, and Zacatecas Mexico. Management’s decision to concentrate on Silver exploration was predicated on expected growth in demand for the metal, from emerging markets in China and India. This growth is expected to be reflected in an upward pressure on the Company’s stock price and therefore should result in enhanced shareholder value.
The Company has also retained a 50% interest in the Teihsum River Project in the Nanaimo Mining Division located in Northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The other 50% is under option to Grande Portage Resources Limited, a company currently undertaking a large exploration program on the adjoining Merry Widow property.
All properties have been selected on the basis of promising stratigraphy and structure, documented alteration, and proximity to historical mineralized occurrences.

Some years ago, I found myself in a Bridgeport, Connecticut, Holiday Inn poking my head into both the men’s and ladies' restrooms. I was looking for the male restroom attendant. I finally found him, and asked if he’d be willing to help me with an ideation session I had scheduled at this hotel for the following week. It was a new product brainstorming session for Unger Enterprises, a family-owned company also based in Bridgeport that manufactures a variety of cleaning tools for both professional and consumer markets.
“I need you to show us how you clean restrooms. We’ll pay you for your time, and give you a free lunch as well. I’ve cleared it with the manager of the hotel. If you’re willing to do it, he said it’s okay with him,” I said. The restroom attendant was Hispanic, young, maybe 17, and naturally a bit suspicious. But with a little more explaining and coaxing, he agreed to do it. And something told me he would be a great resource for us. As I was leaving, I reminded him not to clean the men’s restroom the day of the ideation session… and he agreed he wouldn’t. We were set.
The day of our session, 15 senior executives, product managers, industrial designers and myself squeezed into the men’s room of the Holiday Inn for our lesson on how to clean restrooms. It couldn’t have been easy for our 17-year old restroom-cleaning expert, as “the suits” watched him scrub toilets, wash sinks, and spray and wipe bathroom mirrors. But he was great: very professional and as we soon discovered, an excellent teacher. He did a masterful job of patiently answering all our questions while simultaneously doing the actual cleaning.
This educational session with our young friend helped inspire the Unger ideation team to invent and subsequently launch several successful new products including a customized restroom-attendant cleaning belt, an instructional restroom-cleaning video in both English and Spanish, and a new line of professional cleaners.
Of the more than 1,500 ideation sessions and creative focus groups I have led in my long and adventurous marketing innovation consulting career, this is still one of the most memorable, and certainly one of the most heartwarming. To me, this session will always be a poignant example of how important anyone (and everyone)—no matter what their station in life—can be to the creative process.
There are at least three important lessons that all managers can take from this story if they are looking to lead and inspire creative breakthroughs in their organization.
New learning, with the right creative perspective, can create new innovation opportunities. In the case of Unger Enterprises, even though they had experience in the world of cleaning, their decision to enter a new market for them—professional restroom cleaning—made their learning challenge clear. They needed to quickly get up to speed on current restroom cleaning practices, challenges and unmet needs. This was an obvious prerequisite for designing and facilitating a successful ideation session.
The potentially greater learning challenge is when a company is an expert in their particular category—and is looking to create “the next big thing” within this category. The innovation leader must learn to strike a balance between inventing creative ways to inspire “the new,” and yet also leverage the significant experience and expertise of “the now.” The biggest challenge is that the decades of experience with how “it’s always been done” can get in the way—at least in the initial idea generation stage—of creating new, potentially breakthrough ideas.
The second lesson from the Unger restroom-cleaning ideation session is that the innovative leader should find and customize appropriate “idea-provoking stimuli” to help his/her team be more creative. For Unger, the idea-provoking stimulus was pretty straightforward: a live, interactive demonstration of how to clean a restroom.
What idea-provoking stimuli might you use for your specific creative challenges? The availability of a virtually-unlimited supply of key-word-searchable on-line stimuli – that can be tailored to a specific creative challenge – creates extraordinary opportunities for creating targeted and compelling thought-starting stimuli.
For instance, to help a credit card company encourage patrons to use their card for fast food restaurant purchases, we used a series of hilarious videos we discovered on You Tube of a fellow trying (unsuccessfully) to place his fast food order on a drive-through intercom. And to discover unmet needs in the world of foot care—which we in turn used as idea starters in both new product and new promotion ideation sessions—we ran key word searches of all the social media, including Facebook and Twitter, to see what consumers were complaining about and/or wishing for to take better care of their feet.
The third and final lesson we can take from the Unger example is how important it is to involve a wide variety of people, at all levels, and from very different functions, in the creative process, since you never know who might have, or who might inspire someone to have, a breakthrough new idea. If it’s a new product ideation session, you also want people from all the departments who would be involved in the eventual implementation of the idea, since they should feel a sense of ownership and pride in the new product that they will most likely spend a year or more of their lives developing.
And, as with the Unger example, creative ideators—and creative idea inspirers—shouldn’t necessarily be limited to those who work for the company. Outside experts can be a rich source of creative inspiration. For example, when we were helping Godiva invent new high-quality chocolate concepts, we invited world famous dessert chefs to help us ideate. To invent new store-of-the-future ideas for Bath and Body Works, we had the architecture critic from the New York Times do a presentation of original architecture ideas. And to generate new bread and baked-good concepts for Thomas’s English Muffins, Arnold Bread and Entenmann’s, we made repeated trips to the Culinary Institute of America to involve both chefs and aspiring chefs in our creative ideation sessions.
We call this “involve-everyone” creative process, the Whiteboard Technique, and unlike, say a companywide suggestion box program, it is both interactive and provides the time necessary to evolve preliminary thoughts, idea fragments, relevant facts, and intuitional starting points into well-developed, potentially-breakthroughs ideas. The technique also has the advantage of being able to be used for any creative challenge.
Here’s how it works: The manager looking for new idea posts a blank whiteboard in a public venue: the hallway, near the water cooler, the cafeteria, wherever. Next she decides on a creative challenge, and writes the challenge in the center of the whiteboard. The challenge could be anything: from how to make work more fun, saving money on trade promotions, inventing new products, or creative ways to reorganize the sales force. Then she and her coworkers, over a predetermined time—usually seven to fourteen days—start adding random ideas, questions, wishes, potential areas to explore, provocative questions and relevant facts to address the creative challenge. Each day co-workers are encouraged to add new creative thoughts and ideas to the whiteboard. Over time, new connections will be made and innovative new ideas will be inspired by all the rich stimuli posted on the whiteboard. After the allotted time is up, a new challenge is posted and the process begins again. That’s it! Simple. Affordable. Productive. And very powerful.
An interesting advantage that the whiteboard technique has over a traditional ideation session is creative “soak time.” Time allows the wonderful pattern-finding, idea-combining power of the subconscious mind to work its magic, magic that anyone and everyone can and should be a part of!

Among the many disparate and overlapping interested parties—lovers of soul, lovers of concert documentaries, Sydney Pollack fans, Christians—the news of Alan Elliott’s Aretha Franklin documentary Amazing Grace finally being released is like receiving an invitation to Shangri-La after nearly expiring on a lifelong quest to find it.
Rivaled perhaps only by the Rolling Stones’ infamous unreleased tour documentary Cocksucker Blues (and mirrored—both films capture their subjects at peak artistic flashpoint in 1972, and Mick Jagger appears in Amazing Grace!), the film has gained mythic dimensions over the course of its half-century gestation period.
In 1972 at only 30, Franklin had already left a crater-sized impact in the American pop cultural landscape. She’d picked up five Grammys and debuted 11 No. 1 singles on the Billboard charts. For her 21st album, already her fourth live album, she returned to her roots. Franklin set up shop at The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles to record “Amazing Grace,” a double album of gospel standards. Sydney Pollack was hired by Warner Bros. to capture the two night recording session on film, but the footage was never seen. The man who Pollack picked to succeed him in the effort, Alan Elliott, breaks down what happened, how it happened, and why.
Ryan Coleman, MovieMaker Magazine (MM): Why this film wasn’t completed and released by Sydney Pollack and Warner Bros. isn’t elaborated on in the film. Do you know what the original plan was?
Alan Elliott (AE): Well, Woodstock had saved Warner Bros. Film. They were looking for different ways to put together a film company with a record company. I don’t know if they had a plan beyond corporate synergy. There were lots of things like that which had been successful—the Beatles did Yellow Submarine and obviously A Hard Day’s Night, so there was some precedent for artists doing one-off movies or TV specials. They were hoping to get something similar.
AE: The simple answer is Sydney Pollack was not the original director they hired. James Signorelli, who ended up directing all the Saturday Night Live commercials for the show’s first 35 years, he was the guy who was a specialist in syncing video with audio, which was a very specialized skill at that time. Pollack was a favorite of the people inside Warner Bros. at the time. One night he went out to dinner with the studio heads and said he’d like to direct it, and they said sure. They gave him the job. But he failed to really get the right crew, and so they couldn’t sync the audio with the video because they never brought a clapper to the shoot.
They later hired the choir director to become a lip reader as a way of syncing the audio with the video. He was working for a couple months, but they just gave up. They couldn’t get there. They got around 53 minutes of the almost 14 hours of total footage. They didn’t even have one continuous song. It went into Warner’s vaults until 2007, 35 years.
MM: What happened in 2007?
AE: In 2007, I went to Sydney Pollack and said we should try and do this. There may be a fix. No one had told me about the audio problem. He told me it was a problem with Aretha Franklin’s contract. I took him at his word, and we had a bunch of theoretical conversations about how to make this movie. We never got to the actual footage. He got very sick with pancreatic cancer and said to me at a certain point, “I think you know this movie better than I do, and I’m going to have Warner Bros. let you finish it.” It was right before he died.
MM: How did it come together with Aretha Franklin’s estate?
AE: Before Aretha died, her niece and I had become friendly. Sabrina Owens, who is the executor of her estate, and I had been having conversations for a couple years. Right after I’d been sued by the estate in 2015 she told me, “Aretha’s got pancreatic cancer, and I’m telling you this in confidence. Aretha doesn’t want to watch a movie like this if it’s the last thing she does.” We put the movie away for a couple years and we’ve been working together ever since. I went to the funeral and came back a couple weeks later to show them the movie, and we’ve been working in partnership to make sure everyone gets to see it.
Without the hard work of Serge Perron at Deluxe, this beautiful 16mm footage might’ve been lost forever.
MM: Was the audio/video sync made easier because of new technology that has come about?
AE: Completely. It was still a very involved process, but it took three weeks as opposed to three months, or three years. There were boxes of film, boxes of audio. I was very lucky—one day I called up Deluxe Entertainment Services Group and they said they would help me. There’s a genius guy over at Deluxe named Serge Perron whose main job is to sync video and audio, and he did it. All of it. I had been talking with Michel Gondry about working on the project and he gave me his editor, Jeff Buchanan who is also Spike Jonze’s editor. Together we made the movie.
MM: What felt so powerful about the film to me was the simplicity of the construction. There’s no editorialization or embellishment, just Aretha. Talk me through that decision, and if there was ever a point where a different direction was envisioned for the film?

There is nothing like camping in an RV. The home-away-from-home comfort mixed with the freedom to explore the outdoors makes it an experience unlike any other. At CURT, we know how much you look forward to those weekend camping trips, cross-country journeys and excursions down uncharted roads, and that is why we provide towing solutions that are totally dedicated to recreational vehicle towing.
CURT RV hitches are a simple way to add more cargo space to your RV. RV hitches mount onto the back of your RV, bolting to the frame like our receiver hitches. They provide a 2” x 2” receiver tube opening to accept any hitch-mounted component with a 2” x 2” shank. CURT RV hitches are especially useful for towing along a cargo carrier or bike rack, and they can also be used for flat towing or dinghy towing a car behind your RV. CURT RV hitches come in two options – an adjustable frame-mounted style and a bumper-mounted style.
The CURT adjustable tow bar offers a convenient way to bring an extra vehicle along on your RV getaways. The adjustable tow bar latches onto your vehicle’s bumper using a pair of bumper brackets and then couples to a ball mount on your RV trailer hitch. The vehicle can then be towed behind your RV, allowing you more freedom and mobility once you reach your destination. When towing a vehicle behind your RV, it is essential to have working towing lights just like if you were towing a trailer. CURT magnetic towing lights easily stick to your vehicle and connect to your RV to provide that added measure of safety.

Apr 3rd, 2015 Lebron was very informative, timely and professional. He shared technical information and his knowledge in a very understandable way. He made the stress of having little knowledge about refrigeration pleasurable versus intimidating, and he did a great job illustrating how the unit was functioning while giving us financial options that were manageable to maintain the unit effectively.
It was truly a pleasure doing business with Lebron and we even signed up for the annual HVAC and plumbing program. Highly recommend this HVAC company!!!
Mar 21st, 2015 Brian, the owner came and did the estimate; he gave me a lot of information and explained what exactly needed to be done. The day of the installation everything went without a hitch; Amaury and Andrew were very professional and friendly; Peter joined them later in the day ; I am very pleased with the job and I would recommend them to anyone.
Mar 20th, 2015 I gave them 5 stars because I have never been disappointed in Northside Services. They are here when they say they will be, their tech's. are knowledgeable and to my knowledge they have never lied to me. Our service tech Chase P gave us options and did not push us one way or the other and he is a very personable young man.. I also like the fact that they are a christian based company we could sure use more of that. They installed our ac unit and heat pump and we have had no problems with the units they installed. I recommend them all the time and always go back to them anytime I need service and I fully trust them. Thanks Northside.
Mar 10th, 2015 I had my AC and heating unit serviced by Alberto. He was on time , Polite and very Knowledgeable about what we needed. All of my Dealings with Northside have been the same way. Highly Recommend them..
Feb 25th, 2015 Alberto was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. I would recommend to anyone.
Jan 22nd, 2015 Jason came out and replaced a huge water heater that we didn't need for a significantly smaller one. He helped us to resolve our smelly water issue as well as stop a leak we had at the kitchen faucet. Jason was professional but balanced it with an appropriate sense of humor. It's always a pleasure to do business with people who make an effort to satisfy the client's needs.
Jan 21st, 2015 Been misled by many a/c contractors in the past. Was told last week, by another contractor, that my unit was out of refrigerant and needed to be replaced - $10 to $12K! FALSE!!! Called Northside for a second opinion and James T. came out later the same day to quote me a new unit replacement price but first checked my old unit and totally disproved the falsehood of the other contractor thank you very much. Said all I needed was a thorough maintenance and cleaning check up. Scheduled that 1/20/15 and was done 1/21/15. Alberto performed the check up very professionally and verified that all was well and made a few suggestions for improvements and upgrades. Northside saved me a bundle! Thanks very much for your honesty and integrity Northside, James and Alberto!
Jan 9th, 2015 very professional and helpful, gave me several options for my needs. Not pushy and explained everything clearly with pictures; that was great.
Dec 17th, 2014 Northside performed maintenance check on my AC system today. The technician was on time, very professional, and represented his company in an exemplary manner. One minor problem was corrected. Would highly recommend this company.
Sep 25th, 2014 James T. arrived at our home when he said he would - was very professional and friendly. After reviewing our A/C system, made his recommendations. We approved his suggestions and he completed his work in a timely manner. James is a good example of the quality people who work for Northside and another reason we will continue to use their services.
Sep 25th, 2014 Northside has always given us excellent service over the past several years. Our service tech today was Matthew who was pleasant, knowledgeable and thorough with our annual maintenance. We appreciate that they are Christian owned and operated and bearing a positive witness to the community.
Sep 3rd, 2014 We were referred to Northside Services by employee Chase P. but had also dealt with them several years ago. Installers Peter B. and Amaury B. were both a pleasure to deal with. Ours was not an easy install, but even after more than 8 hours on the job they were polite,respectful and professional. It was so refreshing in this day and age to deal with young men who absolutely exemplify the company's Mission Statement of glorifying Christ and exceeding the expectations of customers. They did an excellent job and went "above & beyond" the job description. We will definitely spread the word about our experience!
Aug 14th, 2014 Christian B came out yesterday for a tune up and other minor work. He was very professioal and polite. I have been working with Northside for a very long time and it is great just having a Christian company in the area. All the employees are great and Christian was awesome.
Aug 8th, 2014 I have used Northside for the past 9 years. Lebron did an amazing job. He took his time and evaluated both units and gave great feed back with several options. Awesome work. I felt like he saved me a lot of money.
Jul 26th, 2014 I am extremely impressed with the quality of service from Northside Services, and especially Lebron, the tech service man who came to my house. Lebron was extremely likable, honest, understandable and thorough. He did excellent work and was a class gentleman. i've always been leery of A/C service techs before because of some bad experiences, but I would trust Lebron and this company any day. They live up to their mission statement. When the time comes for us to have to purchase an entire A/C unit, I will buy mine from Northside Services because of the impression they left on me. I recommend both the company and Lebron highly!
Jul 26th, 2014 Thank you Lebron for your quick and timely service.
Jul 8th, 2014 Peter, Ben and Matt installed a new unit for me today. All three gentlemen were very polite, knowledgeable and efficient. I would recommend anybody that needed AC work done to call Northside services!
Jul 7th, 2014 James was our first contact for the sale. He was very polite and knowledgeable and explained a lot. I don't know but he may have oversold the benefits of the new unit. Our handler in the attic was very old and we knew it needed replacement. The dust did not abate as he had indicated. He told us the drops were not sealed properly and they would be sealed, the installers only sealed the one the return. I waited to write this until I got a full new electric bill that was supposed to decrease significantly It went from $328 to $308. We will replace the hot water heater and try to decrease it. The work was done well and they were careful in my small house. Just didn't get the results we had expected. It is working very good and house is more comfortable as we added a drop in the LR and another return.

Thank you Northside! And thank you Christian!
Jun 19th, 2014 Matthew was here today and did an excellent job. He performed all of the services we asked for and was very courteous and knowledgeable.
Jun 3rd, 2014 I was very impressed with your service tech, Josh. He was informative and professional while explaining the annual maintenance he performed on our A/C system today. Northside Services does a very thorough job and I wouldn't trust the "quickie" inexpensive companies that make promises they can't keep. I didn't realize just what an "annual maintenance" entailed, so glad I watched to see the disgusting stuff that is no longer in my system, I'm breathing better already! My system is 5 yrs old and would have been only a matter of time and I would have been calling for help. Thanks, Josh for a job well done!
Mar 7th, 2014 James did a great job explaining the problem and giving us options on what could be done.
Mar 5th, 2014 Alberto was polite and honest about the condition of my heating and air conditioning system. He arrived at he scheduled time, worked quickly and carefully, left no mess and communicated everything he did and saw as well as making recommendations. I have enjoyed the good annual service on my system and would use them again and again.
Mar 5th, 2014 Great service!
Mar 4th, 2014 I found the service to be very professional and thorough. James explained everything he did, showed me what he was doing and alerted me to areas of concern. Northside installed my system in 2004 and have serviced it ever since. I am highly pleased with their work and commitment or excellent service.
Jan 28th, 2014 Our air conditioning stopped working! We called a company for repairs that we normally call and found out that this time it was un-repairable and we needed an entire new system. We called 2 other companies to get estimates, 1 being Northside. Out of the 3 estimates, Northside was in the middle price range. The most important factor in our decision was that he (Home Performance Specialist) was the ONLY 1 that actually crawled upstairs in our attic with all the cobb webs to review the concern. (Very impressive). He was Indoor Air Quality Certified. We decided to go with Northside and we are happy that we did.
The men that installed our system did a GREAT job installing the condenser and air handler. They were knowledgeable, polite, courteous and they cleaned up the area before they left. It really looked great when they left. We did not have to sweep the area at all. Northside was a recommendation from 1 of our friends and we would also recommend Northside to all our relatives and friends too! The over-all experience was great!
Aug 19th, 2013 They just replaced a package ac unit for me and did it quick, efficiently and RIGHT!!! It's the middle of August and I am chillin'! No complaints...only compliments!
Aug 9th, 2009 We are renting in the West Tampa area and had one of those nightmare scenarios...water leaking through the ceiling in the garage. Air handler is up there, no big deal. It turned out to be a bigger issue than we thought. On a weekend, no less.
Northside had a tech come out Sunday night and he easily diagnosed the problem (blocked drainage pipe) and cleaned it out right away.
We had a couple of techs come out later in the week to do a more permanent fix, and in both instances the guys were super nice, knowledgeable and helpful.
Pricing seemed fair and reasonable. All in all a great experience.

Selling your home can really depend on the quality of the marketing. Not all real estate sale listings and marketing strategies are equal. Make sure your sales agent outlays his or her marketing strategy in detail. Below are some ideas that we recommend to drive as much traffic to see your home as possible. By the way, that is the goal of real estate marketing and advertising–to get as many quality showings as possible to increase the chances of the right buyer wanting to buy your home.
Preparing your home for excellent and many pictures is very important. Better pictures attracts those buyers to want to see your home. Ask your real estate agent whether professional photography is needed or a good option for selling your home. The next four items below are important to happen before those pictures are taken.
Clear the clutter throughout the home, especially in your kitchen and bathrooms. Clutter takes away from what potential buyers should be focused on.
Clean clean clean your home! Have it professionally cleaned if you are one that does not like getting on your hands and knees to deal clean your house. The bathrooms and kitchens should be detail cleaned. Carpets should be cleaned. Items often missed but very important when cleaning are the blinds, fans, baseboards, and walls.
Remove personal items throughout the house including excessive pictures of your family. Potential buyers are there to visualize their family living in the home and should not be distracted by too much of your personal stuff.
Remove any signs of pets. Most buyers will not want to smell pet odors or see pet items throughout the house. This will cause concern as to the care, cleanliness, and maintenance of your home, especially for buyers who do not own pets.
Fix blatant maintenance issues. Buyers will expect that your home has been well-maintained. You want to demonstrate that as well. Take care of those issues that have been bugging you. Don’t give buyers any reasons to move on to the next property.
Outstanding pictures for online marketing is critical. People buy with their eyes. Presenting your home online in it’s best light is possibly the most important thing we can do for our Sellers. Using good cameras with wide angles lenses can be helpful. Professional photography is advised for many listings. Professionals know how to add accent lighting to rooms and highlight the good features of the home. It’s also important not to include pictures of bad rooms or poor camera-angled pictures.
Highlight special features of the home. You know your home better than anyone. Let your agent know what you specifically like about the home, so they can describe those features well in the description of the listing. Your agent is also trained to look for those things that buyers are looking for.
Online Listing Distribution is very important to attract as many eyes on your property as possible. Most homebuyers are finding their new home online. Your home listing will be pushed to potentially hundreds of websites.

the Importance of illustrations in children's book is difficult to overestimate: they develop their imagination, sense of beauty, improve mood children and adults. The first acquaintance with the world of literature happens on the day when a child first opens a children's book and begins to delve into the world of fantasy and fairy tales. This is a very important point that can determine in the future, there will be little interested in literature or not. Children's attention immediately finds in the book of symbols, and therefore they must be the embodiment of goodness, beauty and happiness.
Today we will talk about such a talented artist who creates magic on the pages of books - Rebecca Dautremer (Rebecca Dautremer), one of the most famous contemporary illustrators of France.
Rebecca was born in 1971, in the small town of Gap on the slope of the French Alps. Not to say that the artist from childhood showed an interest in brushes and paints. By her own admission, Rebecca began studying fine art for children's books almost by accident.
dreams become a schedule, a Frenchwoman enters the High school of decorative arts. As a simple student, Rebecca Dautremer in search of jobs arranged in the publishing house Gautier-Languereau, where at that time need of specialists for creative books, coloring books, decals and stickers. There was nothing to do, want to eat and students. Only years later the artist realized that this was her calling.
Start, which began so suddenly, gave the opportunity to the talent of Rebecca to flourish, as in the pages of books and in life. The artist herself said that she just got lucky with publishers, but the truth is that the uniqueness of the French not to occupy. Rebecca Dautremer works with gouache on watercolor paper to achieve the blurred smooth lines. Light gentle brushstrokes create the illusion of 3D, bright saturated colors deeply immersed in the image. Above each picture the Illustrator works very carefully and with all your soul, turning for inspiration to the family, photos, art and music.
Artist attaches great importance to the philosophical to the original story, avoiding the disney templates and frames. Her art is deeply touched even the most jaded critic. On account of its 30 years of artistic career. At the moment, the artist is not only an Illustrator of children's books, she writes books, creates graphic masterpieces for advertising (for example, for a given series of Kenzo) and continues to improve their talents.
Biography of Rebecca Dautremer how this artist started in 2003 when she received a Commission to illustrate the book “Princess unknown and forgotten”. In fairness, it should be noted that the artist agreed without much pleasure. However, once started, the French immediately began to actively cooperate with the author of the book, creating a wonderful creative tandem.
On each page of the book - the touching story of the Princess, her experiences, becoming a way of life, habits and, of course, the portrait. All paintings are made in the same style and capture the mood of the character very subtly. The very premise of the book is fascinating, original, different from everything that is now creating Western civilization. The response was fantastic: within a week after the issue of the circulation of all the books of the stores sold out!
His work on “Alice in Wonderland” Rebecca Dautremer beginning in 2010. From that moment began a new stage of creativity of the artist. Before starting work, in recognition of the artist, to read Lewis Carroll she was not blessed with, and experience of the work spoiled the disney cartoon about the adventures of curious and naughty girls. Illustrator for a long time wondered how should look like the main character in her stories, and only after a while, finding the right way, beginning to create. But from that moment the work went like clockwork.
dark-Haired haired Alice wowed the audience. Many decided that Rebecca has painted a self-portrait, passing the character their feelings and experiences. Anyway, gentlemen, may be, and prefer blondes, but a talented artist saw the classic story in their own way and it has paid off: the book was truly magical!
the Artist worked not only on enduring monuments of literature. Tandem with her husband – a modern writer mark Ty Le Tang – paid off. The family has chosen for their creative project play "Cyrano de Bergerac". Husband adapted the text, and the spouse has fulfilled its main task - illustrated book.
it Should be noted that the text of the writing appears sarcastic and funny, but the illustrations Rebecca Dautremer has retained its philosophical overtones, and even some gloom. Such an artistic technique gave the book unique: an old story sparkle with new colors from the palette of the French talent.
In 2011, the artist acted as the art Director of the cartoon called Kerity la maison des Contes (“Kerity dwelling of fairy tales”). The cartoon was very graceful and kind. Delicate colors and cute characters will not leave indifferent neither young nor adults. At the moment, the family creative Union is working on a new cartoon that should please fans. This direction is new for the artist, however talented Rebecca will soon give children a lot of interesting new stories.
After an attempt to go beyond the role of a children's book Illustrator (and, I must say, successfully) in 2011, the artist released his “Little theatre Rebecca”. Work has become the quintessential art of the French women and brought her a resounding success.
Book is a small representation: characters cut from the smallest detail that can be put on each other, creating their fairy tale. All the characters Rebecca drew itself, they are collected in one book. Alice, Boy-with-finger, Cyrano, Baba Yaga - all the company assembled. Each page – the stage and house for a particular character, with its own history, thoughts, feelings and charm.
anyone who opens the book, will become a Director of a theatrical performance (that someone should be not less than five years) - the tale begins to come alive in the eyes of the reader.
This creativity develops the imagination, abstract thinking and instills a love for books from a very early age. This is a great entertainment for a good family night. And what could be better in these troubled times?
Many accuse Rebecca in excessive darkness and then they were. Others say that its activity can not be called high art. Perhaps illustrations of the artist in the Louvre is not yet hanging, but they forever dwell in the soul of a young reader. Opening the book with pictures of the artist, you find yourself in the unknown, magical, sincere, filled with light and feelings of peace. A world that deserved little explorers!
Parents, looking closely at her work, understand one thing: in the world of advertising and the hypocrisy of her pictures like a breath of fresh air. Her works are full of genuine sincerity and beauty. They are filled with deep philosophical meaning, sometimes bright sorrow, but always pure and gentle love to the world, to life itself. Rebecca was able to win the trust of many children and adults, becoming one of the most famous French artists of our time.

I really love the intricacy of the carvings in sami duodji. I’ve always wanted a handmade Puukko (sami knife). The chance of purchasing one came whilst taking part in the Fjallraven Classic in Sweden last year.
Why did I want one?
Many reasons really, the fact that they are a true all round knife, handmade and they can be so artistically made as well.
Sami Knives and Sami duodji is so beautiful and the hours that go into their work is unbelievable.
The Sami people, also spelled Sámi or Saami, are the indigenous people inhabiting the Arctic area of Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula of Russia.
The Sámi are the only indigenous people of Scandinavia recognized and protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples, and hence the northernmost indigenous people of Europe.
Their best-known means of livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding.
Currently about 10% of the Sami are connected to reindeer herding and 2,800 are actively involved in herding on a full-time basis.
For traditional, environmental, cultural and political reasons, reindeer herding is legally reserved only for Sami people in certain regions of the Nordic countries.
Having such a strong tie to reindeer, the basis for most of their handicraft, antlers, leather and bone are all used in many different ways.
Puukko from carved antler in a antler and leather sheath.
The Puukko: The basic components of a puukko are a handle and a blade along with a sheath, which can usually be attached to a belt but sometimes to a shirt or coat button.
The Knike makers put great pride in carving their Sami Knives and Sami duodji Puukko’s handles and the sheath are made from reindeer antler this is normally carved as well.
The carvings are coloured with powdered bark.
The sheath is normally made from birch burlap and / or reindeer antler, the end of the sheath is normally curved to assist in gripping the sheath when wearing thick mittens.
Over generations, this knife has become intimately tied to Nordic culture and, in one or another version, is part of many national costumes.
A good puukko is equal parts artistic expression and tool. Making it requires a lot of different skills: not only those of a bladesmith, but also those of a carver, a jeweller, a designer, and a leatherworker to make the sheath.
Leuku: The handle is generally made from birch for better grip when used in snowy conditions.
This provides better control over the blade, particularly when using draw strokes, which are preferred when handling the knife with gloves.
The tang runs through the handle. The handle has no crossguard. Traditional material for the sheath is reindeer leather.
The blade’s edge often has a Scandinavian (or “Scandi”) grind, i.e. a single flat bevel. The blade should be strong enough to split (reindeer) bones, and tempered to sustain low temperatures. Some Sami knives have fullers.
The Sami people typically use two knives.
The basic components of a puukko are a handle and a blade along with a sheath.
These are to be attached to a belt but sometimes to a shirt or coat button.
The traditional material for the handle is curly (masur) birch, great sallow root, birch bark, horn (especially elk and reindeer), scrimshaw and bone are also used.
The handle is made from various materials between spacers.
Today, however, industrially made puukkos often have plastic handles like the Mora Knives.
I came across a Sami craftsman through instagram one day and found myself looking through his photos of his fantastic Sami Knives and Sami duodji covering kuksas, puukko’s (Sami knives) and other Sami handicraft.
The craftsman name is Jørn Are Keskitalo from Kautokeino in Northern Norway.
His work is typical Duodji. Duodji is a traditional Sami handicraft, dating back to a time when the Sami were far more isolated from the outside world than they are today.
Duodji tools, clothing and accessories are functional and useful, and may also incorporate artistic elements.
This Sami duodji artist is able to bring function and art together in a delicate way.
These functional items include knives, jewelry, bags, kuksas, certain articles of clothing, etc.
I absolutely love jerky it’s so versatile and perfect for snacking when out fishing, hiking or at work.
The word jerky comes from the Quechua word ch’arki which means “dried, salted meat”. All that is needed to produce basic “jerky” is a low-temperature drying method, and salt to inhibit bacterial growth. I use a dehydrator to slowly dry mine.
The method I use is as follows but you can vary the marinade which I do by adding more spice which stops the children from eating it all!
Find a lean cut of beef I find that silverside is the best cut, out it in the freezer for a few hours just to make it easier to slice.
Slice into thin steaks no more than 10mm, trim all the fat and gristle of it it then cut into long strips against the grain of the meat (otherwise it will be really chewy) then set aside and prepare to make the marinade.
In the ziplock bag empty the hole bottle of teriyaki sauce, a good shake of Worcester sauce, smash the garlic cloves and about a teaspoon of liquid smoke and the same of coriander seeds.
Put the meat strips into the bag and make sure that the marinade is touching all of the meat by massaging the bag once all of the meat is in the bag.
Leave in the fridge for 24hrs turning the bag a few times and massaging the meat.
When you’re ready to start drying get everything laid out.
Lay out some kitchen roll, take meat from the fridge and I find wearing latex gloves saves a lot of mess.
Lay the meat on the kitchen roll, when the kitchen roll is full of meat, lay another piece on top of the meat and pat it down.
Remove the top layer of kitchen roll and get ready with your rub. I use Nando’s peri peri rub but use whatever you like. Sprinkle over meat then pat down with kitchen roll again then gently remove strips and place on the dehydrator tray making sure there is space between each piece of meat.
Once all of the trays are full turn dehydrator on full for about 4hrs then I leave over night on low then in morning it all done.
Make sure that the jerky is cool before bagging.
I vacuum pack some bags so it last longer and leave a big bag for Work and for the kids they prefer jerky to all this dreadful snacks available to them.

Pixar's latest animated movie 'Brave' opens in theaters today, but my family and I were treated to a sneak peak a week ago at the newly opened Studio Movie Grill in Wheaton.
Studio Movie Grill opened last week at 301 Rice Lake Square. The theater features eight movie screens and a menu with more than 100 food and drink options that moviegoers will be able to eat right at their seat in front of the big screen. Waiters take your order and serve the food just like in a real restaurant. Before your movie experience, you can enjoy a drink at the full service bar in the lobby. I'm thinking this would be great for a Girls' Night Out. With specialty drink choices like Extra Long Island Iced Tea, Dragonberry Mojito, Kahlua Mudslide, plus margaritas, and a variety of beers and wines, there is something to please everyone. Of course they also serve non alcoholic choices as well, including soft drinks and coffee.
After cocktails, take a seat in one of the roomy and oh so comfy VIP seats in the theater and share an appetizer or dive right into an entree from a menu of standard grill fare or gourmet pizza. Heathly choices include large freshly prepared salads, fruit and vegetable trays or maybe a black bean burger with a side of sweet potato fries. There is a special kids menu and the obligatory popcorn also. Each seat is equipped with a built in tray table for your dining. Then just sit back and enjoy the movie. If you need refills, just press the red button on your tray and a server will be there momentarily. And all of this goes on without disturbing anyone or blocking their view.
We really enjoyed the movie and TC was giggling with delight throughout most of it. I loved that Princess Merida is portrayed as a spunky, tomboy who refuses to adhere to custom and enter into an arranged marriage. Someday her Prince will come, but it will not be one of the dorky, goofs that have been chosen for her. Let's hear it for a girl with a mind of her own and a bow she knows how to use. Brave also has an important message for moms and daughters to keep the lines of communication open. There are a few scary moments...read great big growling bear, with scary teeth...that might scare the bejeezus out of some kids, heck, it startled me! TC on the other hand just laughed and shoved more food in his mouth.
As in most fairy tales, Brave is not without the evil witch who lives in a cottage in the forest. But this time the spell is cast on the Queen and not the Princess and there is no handsome Prince to reverse the black magic. I won't ruin it for you, but it is a fairy tale so think happily ever after, that's always guaranteed.
Thank you Studio Movie Grill for providing us with a great Media Night experience!
My family received complimentary admission as well as appetizers, dinner and beverages. All opinions are my own.
Sounds like this is a great movie! Can't wait to take my boys to it!
I can't wait to see this too!
so we're all going to this theater for a GNO to see Magic Mike, right?
I wanna see it, too. I wonder if I can get Colleen to take me.

The Montage at Deer Valley is a family friendly resort in Park City that is close to skiing and provides an incredible home-away-from home experience that anyone can enjoy!
Sometimes I forget that Utah has some pretty cool places to visit. One of those places in Park City. After living here for five years, I never had gone there once…mainly because on a student’s dime, it’s rather pricey. So, when Forrest and I were given the opportunity to review the Montage Deer Valley, we could hardly wait.
We drove to Park City through the eh…scenic route — aka, a small road on the side of a mountain that I was sure our car would go tumbling down any moment. We went that way because our GPS said it was a shorter route…they didn’t mention that it was the scariest route!
Anyways, as we finally made our way off the path, the first thing we saw was a huge, beautiful building. There was a ton of fog around it, so it looked like it was on a cloud. We were pretty awe struck. And that’s pretty much how we remained throughout the remainder of our trip.
From the moment we drove up to the Montage, to the moment we left, we were treated like royalty. We felt a little out of place, in our t-shirts and jeans, while most everyone else that was there was dressed all trendy (that’s not how I vacation) but the staff treated us like we were the only people there.
Right when we pulled up, we had two employees come and open our doors, and loaded all our luggage onto a luggage cart. We were escorted inside, where Jack got to select a stuffed animal. He loved it!
We were then brought up to our room, where they had already set up a crib and a diaper pail (without us even requesting one!). This is one of the many reasons why we feel like Montage Deer Valley is a family friendly resort (first being that all kids got a cute stuffed animal upon arrival.) We were also given a tour of our room. Personally, I could have done without the tour (it wasn’t a mansion or anything), but the girl was so nice, so it was okay!
I always wanted to stay at a hotel that had slippers and robes…and my wish came true at the Montage! They were so soft and luxurious…I wish I could have kept one!
They, of course, had lots of treats in the room that you could buy (which we opted not to), but they did have complimentary milk and a cookie waiting for us. It was one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten!
I even let Jack have a little bite…since he doesn’t usually get treats like that.
There was a beautiful fireplace in the room, which was so fun to turn on and lounge in front of…it also kept us nice and toasty, since it snowed right after we got there.
The bathroom was absolutely luxurious! There was a huge bathtub, complete with a bath pillow, as well as a stand alone shower that had a few different shower heads. Forrest and I both felt like the bathroom was really large, which is probably nice for people who have to get all decked out in their ski gear (which can take up a lot of room.) We weren’t able to confirm this, but we both felt like the floor was heated…even if it wasn’t, it definitely wasn’t cold!
I think one of my favorite parts of the hotel were these delicious caramel truffles that the maid brought at night time. Oh my goodness…they were SO delicious! I was half tempted to go and see if I could buy some somewhere in the hotel. We anxiously awaited these each night.
It snowed the morning after we got there, and it sure was beautiful outside! I loved just standing by the window and looking around. Jack loved that I let him go outside for a few minutes as well. He was mesmerized by the snow. And quite honestly, I was too! It felt like we were in a different world.
As I already mentioned, the Montage Deer Valley is very family friendly. In addition to the things I already talked about, every day, the employees bring the resort’s mascots (beautiful dogs — I can’t remember what kind) to the lobby for children (and I guess whoever else) to play with. I couldn’t get a very good picture, but Jack was in heaven. He absolutely loves puppies.
Every day at four, they also have complimentary s’mores around a fire. We were SO sad to miss this, because it sounded like a lot of fun, and a really family friendly activity. The Montage also has a little bowling alley, Wii games set up, and much more in one of their little restaurants.
The highlight of our trip was the pool! Until this point, Jack has hated water. And I mean hated. However, I was determined to get him to enjoy being in the pool. At this point in the elevator, he had no idea what was ahead. He was just loving being in the elevator.
Before we goto the pool, we stopped by the exercise facilities. Amazing. Each piece of equipment was stocked with a water bottle and a towel; there were huge TVs, and plenty of equipment to go around. I wish I had spent more time there! They had the most interesting workout machine — basically, you stand on it, and it vibrates for a certain interval of time. It was kind of trippy.
The pool…oh, the pool! I couldn’t get enough of it. And surprisingly…Jack loved it, too. He has had a really hard time with water, and at first, he was hesitant. But I was determined to have him enjoy it, and he really did. By the end of the night, he was kicking, floating on his back (with my help), and even jumping in!
The pool was heated, and huge. It was also in the most beautiful room. There were towels and water bottles readily available, and there was a large hot tub. That was my favorite part!
This is definitely a family friendly resort. From them putting a crib in our room (without us asking) to the employees who went out of their way to talk to Jack, and even the fun, family restaurant/entertainment area (with bowling, Wii games, and more), I can’t think of anything they could have done better. They have fun activities (such as s’mores at 4:00 PM, and bring their dog mascots to the lobby twice a day), large rooms, stuffed animals for kids, and an amazing pool!
By far, the most comfortable, clean, and beautiful room that I’ve ever slept in. The bed was amazing. I felt like I was on a cloud. The bathroom was huge, and had a bathtub and a shower. Plus, there was a beautiful fireplace that was nice to turn on and warm up in front of.
I can’t think of anything this place was missing. They had turn down service, valet parking, comfortable beds, a beautiful pool and top of the line exercise equipment…pretty much everything you need!
I honestly can’t rate them on the quality or taste of the food, since we actually didn’t eat at any of the restaurants. They had a few different options — a nice, fancy place, a more casual, family restaurant, and a little sandwich shop.However, they were too expensive for us to justify trying out. I wish there were some more affordable options, but I suppose the average person staying here probably can afford it.
The Montage Deer Valley is on the very outskirts of Park City, which has its pros and cons. I liked that we were away from all of the hustle and bustle of the city, but it was kind of annoying that we had to drive a decent distance to get to restaurant, sites, or the outlets, especially when it was icy and cold out. However, the goods outweighed the bad, and I definitely liked how secluded it was. Plus, we were surrounded by beautiful, snowy mountains. What more could you ask for?!
I think this goes very all of Park City — amazing customer service. Everyone acted like they were there for us, and us alone, and we felt like royalty. They were quick to answer to questions or requests, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.
For what you get, the price can be somewhat justified, but it’s definitely not a price we could pay most of the time. I believe the average room is 200+ a night.
Oh my goodness! That looks amazing. Jack’s smile and excitement says it all.
This looks so fun! I want to go a resort.

The plain wooden door that marks the entrance this this speakeasy-style bar lies down a seedy alleyway in Belltown. Inside there are a couple of lounge areas with waitress service on the ground floor but head upstairs to the intimate bar area and ideally score yourself a seat at the end of the bar next to the shelves groaning with cocktail books. Across both floors, Bathtub Gin only has seats for around 30 people.
The cocktail list only runs to eight drinks but includes 'Dealer's Choice' - choose your base spirit and drink style and await a tasty cocktail crafted to suit your mood.
Bathtub Gin is everything you'd expect from a speakeasy - hidden location, dimly lit interior and spectacularly good cocktails.

South Korean giant Samsung on Monday unveiled the much awaited successor to its flagship Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S5, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The Galaxy S5 has a fingerprint scanner; a 5.1-inch full high-definition display; a water and dust-proof exterior and a 16 megapixel camera. The phone also has a heart rate sensor. It runs on the Android 4.4 KitKat.
The Galaxy S5 has fitness tools which work with the Gear series. It has an 'ultra power saving mode' which lets you use your phone for longer.
Samsung claims that at a battery level of 10%, the phone can last for 24 hours as the 'ultra power saving mode' shuts down most functions, leaving the battery power for essentials such as calling and text messaging.
While the design doesn't have a very radical change, the rear has a perforated pattern for better grip. The Galaxy S5 will come in four colours other than covers in other colours.
The user interface is simpler and the icons are bigger, giving the interface a neat look. Samsung has also increased the battery capacity on the Galaxy S5 to support its new UI features.
Samsung also unveiled a smartwatch, the Gear Fit. The Fit has a sleek design and a curved screen. Other than syncing the data from the user’s phone, the Fit reads their heart rate.
Samsung also launched on Sunday a new smart watch, the Gear 2, after a first version won over few critics, adding new features and ditching Google's Android in favour of its own operating system.
The S4 and its predecessor, the Galaxy S III, were successful phones and helped Samsung surpass iPhone maker Apple Inc. as the world's largest smartphone maker.
Samsung spent nearly 4.6 trillion won ($4.3 billion) in advertising in the 12 months through September, about four times the $1.1 billion Apple spent in the same period, the latest for which figures were available. Although Samsung also makes TVs, refrigerators and other products, analysts believe much of the marketing is for newer products such as phones.
The only other company that comes close to matching Samsung's muscle is Apple. The iPhone's debut in 2007 showed the world that phones can do much more than calls and messages. Since then, each new iPhone release has taken on an aura of a rock concert, with the most devoted Apple fans lining up at stores for hours or days to buy one.
Samsung has been updating phones by making their screens larger. The S4's display measures 5 inches diagonally, compared with 4.8 inches on the S III and 4 inches on the original S from 2010. The iPhone's screen has stayed steady at 4 inches since 2012.
The new Samsung devices will be available in markets across 150 countries from April 11.

The influence of phase-only encoding method on the generation of circular Airy beams is investigated and the commonly used coding method is discussed in detail, which is compared with the other introduced encoding method. The results show that both methods can be used to produce high quality circular Airy beams. The beam generated by the commonly used method has a good quality, little affected by beam parameters, and has a wide application. Although, the quality of the beam generated by the other method is relatively poor, which is also dependent on beam parameters, the diffraction efficiency is high, 2.4 times that by the original method, which indicating that there exist many advantages on the applications of laser processing, nonlinear excitation, and so on. The circular Airy beams are generated experimentally by both methods. The experimental results show that the quality of the beam generated by the commonly used method is affected seriously by the background noise due to its low diffraction efficiency, while the beam generated by the other coding method is well consistent with the theoretical result and its feasibility is experimentally confirmed.

The mighty and beautiful Muskegon River is Michigan�s second largest river, extending 219 miles. It is second in length only to the Grand River�s 260 miles. The Muskegon River�s headwaters are found in Houghton Michigan and Higgins Lake and it flows through the better part of several Michigan counties; Clare, Mecosta, Missaukee, Muskegon, Newaygo, Osceola, Roscommon. The river�s mouth is in Muskegon Lake, which eventually flows into Lake Michigan. The entire Muskegon River watershed covers over 2720 square miles.
During Michigan lumber boom era, the Muskegon River was used as a means of transportation as logs were floated down the river from the northern Michigan forests, down river to the sawmills.
Located 5 miles south of Big Rapids on the east side of Northland Drive (the old 131), the community of Rogers Heights became the site of the Rogers Dam. Built in 1906, it was later destroyed by fire in 1921 and rebuilt in 1922. Rogers Dam is the site of the oldest hydro plant still in operation by Consumers Power, housing four generating units producing 6,700 kw of electricity.
The power company maintains a small waterfront park on the southwestern tip of Rogers Pond. A covered deck, picnic tables, restrooms and plenty of parking are found there.
A public boat launch is located on the western side of the pond. Follow 11 Mile Road east from Rogers Heights toward the Muskegon River to the end of 11 Mile Road, turn right (south) and you will be at the launch.
Rogers Pond is an all sports area of over 700 acres. Fishermen report good amount of Northern Pike.
Whether you are thinking of a Michigan cottage for the summer, or looking for a year round home, Rogers Pond is known for good real estate values. Roger�s Pond is conveniently located near US 131 just a few miles off exit #131.

We are absolutely thrilled to bring you the Review & Excerpt Tour for K.A. Tucker’s SURVIVING ICE!
SURVIVING ICE is releasing on Tuesday, October 27th! Grab your copy today!
Ivy Lee is all of that and more. I think as far as complexity goes, Ivy just may be K.A. Tucker‘s toughest character yet. I wasn’t at all surprised to find her in a really tough spot. She exudes confidence on the outside when really she’s hiding this vulnerable sensitive person inside.
Just like Ivy, K.A. Tucker’s writing is also fierce, stunning, and captivating. Her growth as an author shows with each new book. This isn’t your run of the mill romance, they’re so much more layered with deeply rooted vulnerability and multi-faceted stories. Surviving Ice is exactly what I had hoped Ivy Lee’s story would be. This rebellious young woman never tied down, who desperately seeks stability even if she doesn’t know it.
I’ll admit, I was a little worried about whom Ms. Tucker would pair Ivy up with. She needed more than a good looking guy, more than brains, more than jokes. She needed someone who could match her in intensity. Sebastian was brute strength, he was dangerous, he was mystery and I think Ivy didn’t have a choice but to find herself drawn to him. Sebastian and Ivy needed each other but for very different reasons at first. Surviving Ice was told in dual pov which allowed us to follow both sides of a dangerous story. I did find myself really enjoying Sebastian’s chapters, I felt like the voice really matched the character and I was drawn to him.
There are so many variables in Surviving Ice, so many interesting characters, that it was hard not to love them all. While I had some issues with Ivy’s characters they were minor in comparison to the story as a whole. I think I just felt like there were some loose ends, loops that needed closing. Like her issues at home for instance. I had a hard time understanding why she was the way she was and why we didn’t get any closure. But that’s my hang up and I guess really wasn’t necessary in the grand scheme of things.
Some readers might be turned off my Ivy’s nonchalance to Sebastian’s obvious secretiveness. But keep in mind that she’s much the same. So where she wants no one to dig into her, she gives him that same respect. I think if her character had been ANY different, I wouldn’t feel this way. I’d be like “silly, stupid, gullible girl” but that’s not Ivy and her actions and reactions just…fit.
While not my favorite in the series Surviving Ice most definitely ranks up there with the other fantastic books by K.A. Tucker. And I just know this WILL be the favorite for many readers. Enjoy!

The council was praised at last week's launch by the Canadian firm for the work the local authority did to persuade them that Laois was the place to do business.
The council's CEO John Mulholland welcomed Greenfield Global plans for Portlaoise.
“I wish to congratulate them for selecting Laois as the location for their very first foray into the European market and wish them every success on this side of the Atlantic.
“As if we were in any doubt this announcement, along with recent decisions by Glanbia Cheese EU and SKout, clearly points to the attractiveness of Portlaoise as an investment location of preference.
“I believe the strategic direction for economic development in Laois is now firmly set and I am particularly pleased that the presence of Greenfield Global makes a statement in regard to our potential to attract an array of business and enterprise, including logistics, manufacturing, data analytics, agri-food and now the life sciences sector. Let no one be under any illusion, this is truly a very positive and exciting time for Portlaoise and Laois,” he said.
He also praised the IDA for bringing Greenfield to Laois.

Across the world's ecosystems, from the boreal forests of North America to the savannas of Africa, a host of animals and plants constantly interact: predators fell prey, insects devour plants, epiphytes perched high in their host trees draw moisture from the air. All of these interactions influence animal and plant populations in myriad ways, but researchers are still trying to understand the complex dynamics. A working group to be held January 29-31 will look at the consequences of the changes in interactions between species—especially how these changes lead to irreversible transitions in the structure and composition of ecological communities.
"Most of the models and most of the theory in ecology is based on the assumption that interaction between species are constant, at least on the timescale we're observing the dynamics in the community," says Omidyar Fellow Jacopo Grilli, who is organizing the working group with Dervis Can Vural of the University of Notre Dame "On the other hand, there are changing factors—species are evolving and also changing their behaviors. So, if you're a predator, you might switch prey for example. We're looking at how interactions are changing, and how the community changes as a result—and how much the changes in the community are reversible."
Some of the questions the group will explore are: How do interactions between two or more species change over time? How do species interactions lead to ecological transitions? How can ecosystems be fortified against catastrophes? This information could aid conservation efforts—for example, to help determine whether extinction of a species in a particular area could be reversed through reintroduction or colonization by members of other surviving populations.

Virginia Tech's iGEM team made a successful first appearance at the 2007 national iGEM competition in Boston, Mass., Nov. 3-4 and received a gold medal from competition judges for their efforts.
The two-day competition included oral presentations by each participating team as well as poster presentations. Teams were awarded bronze, silver, or gold medals by the judges who looked in detail at the quality of the presentations, a wiki or web-based description of the project, and BioBricks documented in the competition’s Registry of Standard Biological Parts.
BioBricks are the standard interchangeable biological parts used by the participants in the annual iGEM competition to produce systems that work as molecules inside living organisms. The judges awarded the Virginia Tech team a gold medal in recognition of the work performed to sequence all of the BioBricks in the iGEM Registry. Having these sequences available will be very useful for future iGEM teams.
Peccoud served as the leader of the Virginia Tech team along with Bill Baumann, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering.
The Virginia Tech team’s primary project involved engineering disease epidemics using Escherichia coli and bacteriophage lambda as a model population. They examined the development of an epidemic within and between populations, creating a population interaction model that predicts the spread of infection between groups of people. The team designed a network for the spread of infection and created models, which they verified experimentally.
Third Security, LLC, sponsored the Virginia Tech iGEM team.
The iGEM competition tests the idea that biological engineering can be performed more reproducibly through the use of standardized parts. iGEM hopes to discover creative new approaches to designing and building engineered biological systems while encouraging the development of collaborations and sharing of information and experiences.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Rising redshirt senior golfer Harry Ellisdelivered an epic comeback on Saturday to defeat Australian Dylan Perry in sudden death and win The Amateur Championship held at Royal St. George’s Golf Club in England.
With the win, Ellis earns exemptions to the upcoming Open Championship held July 20-23 at Royal Birkdale, the 2018 Masters and the 2018 U.S. Open.
Ellis and Perry battled back-and-forth in Saturday’s championship which included a 36-hole match play format. However, with just five holes remaining Ellis found himself four down to Perry. But Ellis mounted his comeback by playing steady over the last five holes, recording par on each.
Perry started to break down over the remaining stretch, bogeying four of his final five holes. With Ellis three down with three holes left, Perry bogeyed each remaining hole. The two then went to sudden death, and after halving the 37th hole, Ellis carded a par on the par-4, 415-yard hole that was the 38th played. Perry recorded a double bogey to give Ellis the title.
Ellis emerged as the English Amateur champion in 2012 at just 16 years old, surpassing Sir Nick Faldo as the youngest winner of the championship. The Southampton, England, native decided to come to Florida State a few years later and recently completed his best season at FSU, being named a PING Honorable Mention All-American.
Ellis also recently competed in the Arnold Palmer Cup for Team Europe, and will participate in the Walker Cup at Los Angeles Country Club held Sept. 9-10.
Ellis becomes the third player to win both the English Amateur and The Amateur, joining Sir Michael Bonallack and Michael Lunt. Of the three, Ellis achieved the dual feat at the youngest age.
Ellis recorded an average score of 71.62 this past year for Florida State. He posted three Top 5 finishes this year, highlighted by a second-place finish at the Seminole Intercollegiate. In the NCAA Championship at Rich Harvest Farms, Ellis recorded a 6-under 66 in the second round, the lowest round vs. par by a Seminole in an NCAA Championship.
The Golf Coaches Association of America announced that redshirt senior Cristobal Del Solar (PING Third Team All-American) and Harry Ellis (Honorable Mention) were named as PING All-Americans.
For Del Solar, it is his second All-America honor of the year after also being named a third-team All-American by Golfweek.

Having been born and bred in the Western part of Africa the last thirty years, I never knew hospitals and doctors could be so clean and so friendly until I met these two awesome medical workers who are part of "Women First" Medical Association in Louisville.
Ms. Singer assisted Dr. Warren in caring for Mama Vicki during her recent surgery.
All of us in Salone are so thankful for her good care.
If Mama Vicki had that surgery in Sierra Leone, she would not be kicking around so easily as she is today. I didn't expect to meet Mama Vicki doing so good as if she never even had surgery. I wish we could bring those good doctors to Sierra Leone.
As I sat at the office, the first thought that came into my mind was, how much better my chances of beating death or getting well would be if I was waiting with diarrhea, malaria or typhoid (most common illness in Sierra Leone) in an environment like this? Wow! The cleanliness and clean smell (no filthy stench) will tell you that you are in for good health.
The fact is, it took mama Vicki some time to me convince me that we were in a hospital.
To me it looked like the Crown Bakery Restaurant (a fancy restaurant for the rich and foreigners) in Freetown. You can safely agree with me that there is only one or two good hospitals in Freetown, the Capital of Sierra Leone, where I came from but they are meant just for the rich.
and one or two other private hospitals are the only ones you can boast of with a clean and better environment but they are meant for something else.
and supplies to the most needy clinics, you see nothing but pain and death every minute.
Even the big named Holy Spirit Hospital in the Northern district of Makeni continues to complain with the lack of medication and no means to treat the sick. Not to mention the well built but empty hospital in my home town of Kabala.
To me hospitals are more of a building than what they can give to get you well and it is always a 75% chance for you to get killed in it rather than get well.
have survived from what NHA has been giving the last few years.
I say thanks to you all who had kept their monthly donations and medical supplies alive and encourage more and more people to support us.
It is always not enough and believe me Ami is doing this all alone with just one or two assistants dealing with fourteen villages every Wednesdays and Saturdays (which are the clinics days).
So if you are in the villages she serves and unfortunate to get ill so bad the other days, you are done for.
Pray not to get caught in an environment where the nurses are not friendly. As a sick patient you will be served totally according to the whim of the doctor or nurse. Most patients have to give extra $$$ to see that they are helped. We can't blame the nurse or doctors in Sierra Leone for their desire for tips from the patients as most have not been paid for six good months. Tell me how the death rate will decrease in these conditions?
A day at Amie’s clinic at Kagbasia village says it all…..
This is what we know and have become accustomed to all these years and I see no room for improvement till we all join hands and work together to make it happen.
Everyone experiences difficulty in one way or another, rich or poor, however it is our duty to help each other out. Remember your brother and sisters in Sierra Leone.
....A chance to live, a chance to eat, a chance to be educated, a chance to be healthy. Your donations makes it possible to make that difference, one child, one adult, one life at a time. God bless you all.
