Since the introduction of smart devices and social networks, the process of selling and consuming goods has become easier than ever.
But, with the oversaturation of product advertising and ease of online shopping, what makes a company stand out? When anyone and everyone can sell something online, how does a business make their product stand out from all the rest?
When it comes to stirring things up in your marketplace, some agency of the year award isn't going to make a difference. The customer journey is. The customer journey is the path that a user takes from the time they see something they like, to the time they actually pull the trigger and purchase. This process can go a lot of different ways, several of which I have been exposed to during my time in digital advertising.
What I am personally inspired by is when I'm taken on a customer journey I actually enjoy. When I'm being "served" something that feels as though it was made to fit my specific needs, not just those of another faceless buyer. What gets me even more excited? When I'm taken on an experience so flawless, natural, and unobtrusive it's almost undetectable.
As a paid media buyer for client's that advertise their products on social networks, I've seen the journey go terribly wrong. The impact for me is more from a reflective standpoint, but everyone else is another customer that they just lost.
However, during the rare occurrence where you experience a journey laden in cloth, and seamlessly go from product page to check-out window as if being guided by some metaphysical hand of God, then they're doing something right. A quality customer journey like this is one of the most colorful feathers an e-commerce company can add to their sales tactics.
I had purchased razors a couple years back through Dollar Shave Club. They got me with their "gender neutral" razor blades, free shipping, auto-fulfillment, and billing. I never had to do a thing once my initial order was placed. The razors came every month, like clockwork, for over 2 years. Their process was so seamless they didn't even need creative advertising ideas to emphasize how great their product was.
Then, something changed. I'm not sure if it was product quality or a developed skin sensitivity but I started really hating these razors. I was getting consistent razor burn, the blades seemed to dull after the first use, and the shave wasn't close at all, I missed my Venus.
And then, it happened. As I was taking a daily scroll through my Instagram feed, I saw it. Flamingo: Affordable razors made with women in mind. I skeptically clicked the ad and went to the website. Simple, easy-to-follow, and modern format, mobile friendly.
I was interested. But, as I said previously, I do this for a living. I help client's pique interests and sell their products and services online. I wasn't going to let them take my money that easily, and I wasn't handing out any website awards just yet. So, I left the site and forgot about it. Until the next time I showered. A few days went by, I had thought about those razors a couple of times but couldn't remember the brand name.
Sure enough, I see another Flamingo product ad on my feed (of the items I had looked at previously) with a caption that said something along the lines of "our razors give a close shave and were specifically designed for a woman's body, without the markup." Intrigued, I clicked again. The transition to their website was so smooth, the add to cart was effortless, and the initiate checkout process was without flaw. But still, I wasn't convinced.
A few more days go by. I see another ad providing a solution to the problem I was currently having with my razor. I filled my cart and pulled the trigger. Within minutes, I received my confirmation email and tracking information. My order would arrive within the week. I broke up with Dollar Shave Club and haven't looked back since.
So, what's to be learned from this story? Why would a person consider this inspiring? As a digital marketer whose objective is to do the same for our clients, there's a lot about this customer journey that was done right.
Once they knew I was interested, they followed up in a staggered and unobtrusive fashion. Presenting gentle reminders that their product was the solution to my problem, with both verbal and visually stimulating content.
They didn't give up. A good marketer understands that 9 times out of 10 a user won't buy your product or service right off the bat. The market is much too saturated now. Users have started to glaze things over. You must be persistent in your efforts, but in a subtle way.
Flamingo did everything right in the realm of Customer Journey and got the sale. Not only that, but the razors are actually amazing, the branding speaks to me on a personal level, and the UX friendly site and excellent customer service has won me over, I'll definitely be purchasing again.
And that, my friends, is what inspires me. When I come across a company whose digital advertising has been formulated perfectly and has content specifically catered to the user's exposure level. It's an art form really, the new-age of direct response marketing. Anyone who is considering selling their products via social should take note. It's a wonderful time to be in the world of E-commerce.

The "Consumerization" Of Business Intelligence
You might think that business intelligence is the last software category to be affected by the trend toward consumer technology eclipsing its business equivalents. But according to the CEO of BI vendor QlikTech, it's already happening.
Fredric Paul
You might think that business intelligence is the last software category to be affected by the trend toward consumer technology eclipsing its business equivalents. But according to the CEO of BI vendor QlikTech, it's already happening.Mans Hultman, chairman of Sweden's QlikTech, is not your typical modest Scandinavian. He freely asserts that his his company's QlikView BI software isn't just "better" than traditional business intelligence products, but "thousands of times better."
Maybe so, but that's not the most interesting part of the conversation we had here at bMighty's San Francisco HQ. For me, the key came when Hultman started talking about a trend that's near and dear to bMighty: According to Hultman, "end users are asking 'Why I have tools at home which are dead simple -- no training required -- but at work I have these dreadful tools tha require two weeks of training and busloads of consultants to maintain?' "
Given the consumerization of enterprise software, Hultman says, the role of the IT department is changing. 10-15 years ago, they seemed to be more powerful than they are today. But today, the average end user and business manager are more tech savvy than they used to be -- and less willing to accept excuses.
That's a double edged sword, if you ask me. On the one hand, IT departments face unprecedented challenges in managing expectations of a technologically "spoiled" workforce. On the other hand, that same technology can make a huge difference in the productivity of a company. And smaller companies are uniquely positioned to take best advantage of this tectonic shift in the technology landscape.
That's what QlikTech is trying to do. While Hultman's company dosen't make consumer software, it tries to emulate that model. So, instead of buying a stack of tools to mine your company's data warehoue and spending 12-18 months on an expensive deployment, Hultman claims, QlikView can be installed in less than 10 days by a single part-time consultant with no need for a data warehouse, database design and so on. And by using an associative model for the user interface instead of a hierarchical drill-down approach, 99% of users need no special training. And the whole thing is sold on per-user perpetual license, with the same prices list for all customers, big or small, anywhere in the world.
Great, but consumerized or not, is BI really so important for small and midsize firms? (Or see bMighty's The 5 Top Things Smaller Businesses Don't Know About BI.)
According to Hultman, "In my experience, it's wrong to assume that midsize companies have less need for BI. They may be simpler to deal with than a large company -- with fewer legacy issues -- but their business challenges are just as complex." The big difference, Hultman says, is that smaller companies are more open to the cultural changes involved in making detailed business data widely available throughout the company.
Once again, it's an opportunity for flexibility to trump size.

Maintaining the beauty of your lawn, can be a tiresome, time consuming matter. With our lawn maintenance program we can make sure that you have the time to enjoy your outdoor living area.
Turf and sodding can be done by homeowners, but it can be very time-consuming and demanding. This is why Four Seasons Landscape Management offers lawn installation and maintenance services, including turf and sodding, for both residential and commercial properties, no matter how small or large they are.
Bermuda - This type of turf is ideal for lawns that are exposed to full sun. This requires minimal maintenance because it is highly resistant to disease and the growth of weeds.
Zoysia - This variety can grow in most types of soil. It can survive even with minimal water intake. It grows into a thick, dense, and cushion-like grass lawn.
Centipede - If your lawn has sandy or clay-like soil, centipede grass is your best option. It can thrive even in shaded areas of a landscape, as long as it has access to enough water.
Fescue - For lawns or landscapes that are more shaded than exposed to the sun's heat, you need to choose cool season grass types. Fescue is a cool season turf that can withstand the climate of Georgia.
Improving a lawn or landscape involves covering any exposed soil with grass. This way, it enhances the overall look, while providing a good method for preventing soil erosion. Although you could seed the bare soil, you may have to wait a long time for it to grow. This is the reason why we highly recommend sodding of your lawn. It instantly provides you with a grass-covered lawn with utmost coverage.
When you hire us for this task, we start by carefully assessing the area for sodding. First, we measure it and taking certain slopes and hills into consideration. The soil should be loosened and cleared of any debris, like rocks. It is then flattened to make it firmer and to check if there are any low spots or holes that need filling. After the soil is leveled, it is watered to create a moist base for the sod. When the soil is moist enough, the sod is installed as close to each other as possible. They are then watered to help start the growth process, through which the roots of the sod would start growing into the actual soil.
When it comes to turf and sodding installation and maintenance, you can definitely rely on Four Seasons Landscape Management. All you have to do is give us a call, and we'll take care of your lawn.

First, I want to express my appreciation to all the students who have shared their concerns and suggestions throughout this year's difficult budget development process. Student success is key to our discussion. Second, if there is just one lesson to take away, it's that Lane must live within the fiscal realities created by a decade of state disinvestment in community colleges if we are to move forward with quality programs to serve current and future students.
Lane has to close a $4.7 million funding deficit for 2015/16. This is on top of the $12.6 million deficit that we closed for 2014/15. Even under current legislative proposals, Lane has less state funding per student than in the 1999-2001 biennium (more proof behind the embarrassing fact that Oregon ranks 46th in the nation in higher education funding).
During the decade of state funding decline, we balanced our budgets using multiple efficiencies such as cutting back on materials and supplies, dipping into savings, holding vacant positions open, and much more — while preserving full-time jobs, providing modest increases in compensation, and retaining vital programs and services.
As students know only too well, we also raised tuition. In fact, tuition has increased 47 percent over the last 10 years and now provides 44 percent of Lane's revenues. Before the disinvestment, tuition hovered at around 20 percent. The shift from funding education as a public good that benefits everyone to a private commodity that fewer can afford is fundamentally opposed to the community college mission.
The board directed us to not raise tuition any further this year. Since many of our cost-cutting remedies were no longer available, that meant looking at program reductions. We evaluated programs using multiple board-approved criteria vetted over years of budgeting. Many factors were carefully considered such as enrollment trends, enrollment capacity, cost per student, retention rates, availability of jobs, and job placement rates.
We also sought Employment Department data on job trends. The department has a time-proven, rigorous process for labor market projections that fall within one to two percent accuracy. That's hard to beat. Finally, we sought feedback from focused employer interviews to further confirm or disconfirm our findings.
In the end, we identified two programs for elimination – Auto Body and Electronics. Unfortunately, their enrollment has declined significantly more than other programs. Their completion rates are lower and labor market projections are weak. When we ask students to pay almost $100 a credit and potentially go into debt, we need to consider whether they will be able to find a family wage job at the end.
Finally, we decided to initiate redesign of a third program, Medical Office Assisting, to better reflect its changing workplace. We will enroll those students already in the pipeline this fall and spend the year ahead working with employers and faculty to upgrade the program.
Even after reductions, students will still have more than 40 professional and technical associate degree programs to choose from plus additional certificate options within those programs. Lane has added many programs over the years to meet community needs and an evolving labor market. In the last six years, for example, we added associate degrees in Management, Exercise and Movement Science, Sustainability Coordinator, Watershed Science Technician, and Energy Manage Building Controls Technician; not to mention additional certificates. Enrollment in our professional and technical programs has remained relatively static over the last 20 years.
It is sad that when tough decisions have to be made because of the long term disinvestment in higher education, people sometimes turn against one another instead of standing together to overcome a common challenge. Budget development is a year-long process at Lane and there have been many opportunities for involvement. It has been a regular board item since September. E-mails have been sent to update faculty and staff throughout the year. All-staff forums have been held and well attended.
Following the April board meeting, when we had to present a balanced budget proposal in keeping with the budget calendar, the board asked that we compare the administration's and the faculty union's data. We did that through both formal and informal meetings.
Our budget team, a group of highly experienced people committed to students, worked earnestly using information from the college database that showed actual numbers—not just assumptions. I have confidence in our calculations and believe them to reflect true costs and revenues according to the methods that we have used and published over many years.
Absolutely no one at Lane wants to cut the budget. Behind every line item on a spreadsheet there are dedicated employees and committed students working hard to transform their lives.
Nonetheless, Lane is required by law to adopt a balanced budget every year. After weighing administration's data, including the number of completions and labor market need, and the union's numbers, and hearing many hours of testimony, the board moved forward at its May meeting and voted to eliminate the programs after we have offered continuing students the opportunity to complete their programs.
It is time for us all to move forward.
The state is certainly moving forward. The May revenue forecast predicts more revenue, but thanks to Oregon's "kicker" law, millions will go back to taxpayers. Community colleges have a chance at additional funding but we can't take it for granted. We need to work hard to assure an additional allocation. The deferred maintenance funding we have been fighting for is apparently off the table.
I want to thank our students for their amazing advocacy work in Salem throughout the year. I also want students to know I wrote our governor and the Lane legislative delegation asking them to start work on reforming the kicker law. It is a very heavy lift but it seems ridiculous that the state will credit each taxpayer an average $100 when there are so many critical public needs, not the least of which is adequate funding for community colleges.
Let's look ahead. There are only 20-some days to graduation and we are focused on helping students successfully complete the term and the year. Then it will be time to regroup and keep fighting for the right to an education.

Chest pain resulting from a truck accident may be caused by collision stress, but it can also indicate the presence of a severe injury. Pain caused by a vehicle accident should never be ignored, particularly when it's in the chest.
Pain throughout the upper torso is a common consequence of vehicle collisions. Being restrained by a seat belt or slamming into the steering wheel can lead to minor chest aches and pains. However, chest pain is sometimes evidence of more severe injuries.
Cracked or broken ribs. These injuries typically occur when the chest is restricted by a seat belt or when it strikes the steering wheel. Rib damage may cause sharp, shooting chest pain that worsens when the collision victim inhales deeply or coughs.
Muscle strain. Maintaining a tight grip on the steering wheel during a collision can damage the muscles in the driver's neck, shoulders, and arms. Muscle strain typically results in dull, aching chest pain.
Bruised sternum. When a driver fails to wear his seat belt, the sternum may be bruised when his chest and thorax impact the steering wheel. Common symptoms of a bruised sternum include swelling, chest pain, sharp pain when laughing or coughing, and tenderness at the front of the chest.
If you experience chest pain after a vehicle accident, seek medical care as soon as possible. To identify the source of your pain, your physician may order diagnostic tests such as x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Depending on the results of these tests, you may need surgery, rest, or pain medication to help you recover from your injuries.
You need an experienced personal injury attorney to help you recover compensation for these health care costs, your loss of income, emotional pain, and other damages. To learn more, contact the law offices of Steve M. Lee, P.C., by using the form on this page.

Even though it can be tempting to toss the daily mail onto a pile each day, spending an extra minute to sort it as it comes through the doors will have many benefits. Here are some organizational tips to help you tend to that task of mail sorting.
If you have a specific area or room that you look through your mail, don't let that area become the place of clutter. Let's say you read through your mail in the family room. Then don't let the end table or coffee table store the clutter.
Place the organizer in an accessible location (near the door or where the pile of mail usually sits).
Take 1 minute to sort the mail by one of the three categories above. You don't need to read it all, just decide to which category it belongs.
Once a week grab each stack, accomplish the required "task" and then thoroughly file each item. One of those files can be the circular file … better know was the trash can.
Get your name off of junk mail lists. Here are a few options to help you "opt out" of junk mail.
If you like on-line bill paying, set up all your accounts to enable you to pay on-line and get off the paper mailing of bills.
It will literally take seconds each day to sort incoming mail, but that effort will help you pay bills on time, have a more organized calendar, and less clutter.
So off you go to creating that mail station that will work for you!

Now Streaming On Shudder: Takashi Miike's 'Audition'
One of the best things about the horror streaming service Shudder is the depth and breadth of its catalogue. It features not only low-budget films that have been overlooked, but also classics of the international horror canon.
Takashi Miike is an incredibly prolific director, having helmed more than 90 films since he began his career in 1991. One of his most well-known movies is 1999's Audition. As a newcomer to Miike's filmography, I felt it was time for me to finally tackle a film that often appears on lists of the greatest horror films ever made.
As Audition opens, the audience is introduced to Shigharu Aoyama at his wife Ryoko's deathbed, in a touching and sobering scene. To make things even more upsetting, the couple's young son Shigehiko arrives at the hospital room just after his mother has passed away. He doesn't even get to say goodbye to her or show her the craft project he's made for her.
Flash forward to seven years later when is revealed that Aoyama has never remarried. He and the now-teenaged Shigehiko go fishing and the young man tells his father that he prefers "real life girls to imaginary big fish." Although this scene ostensibly portrays the close relationship between the two, it also foreshadows the main narrative thread of the film, the titular audition.
Aoyama tells his friend and colleague Yasuhisa Yoshikawa that his son thinks he seems "dispirited" and should remarry. Yoshikawa, a film producer, concocts a scheme in which the pair will hold auditions for an upcoming film and that will give Aoyama an opportunity to have his pick of women from whom to choose. Although the two men seem affable enough, the idea of having a wife-choosing contest seems creepy, even though reality television was already an international sensation at the time Audition was made (the novel upon which it was based was published in 1997). This uncomfortable venture is made even more so when Aoyama compares it to buying his first car.
One of the applicants, the 24-year-old former ballet dancer Asami Yamazaki, catches Aoyama's eye. Although he has allowed Yoshikawa to ask all the questions at the audition up to this point, he addresses her directly, much to his colleague's confusion and consternation. Aoyama decides to pursue Asami outside of the audition process, despite Yoshikawa's warnings that he wasn't able to talk to any of the references she provided and suspects she may be lying about her past.
Even if you didn't know of Audition's reputation as an extremely disturbing horror film, there is something about the expression on Yoshikawa's face that should give the audience pause. This sense of dread is heightened considerably when Aoyama calls and we see the interior of Asami's apartment. She is sitting on the floor with her head down, with what appears to be a large sack of laundry in the background. When the phone rings, the sack moves and makes a loud noise, indicating that there is a person inside.
Aoyama soon embarks on a relationship with the young woman. He tells his son that he's got a girlfriend and confesses that he plans on proposing to her after they return from an upcoming weekend getaway. Yet that romantic weekend doesn't exactly go as planned. While Aoyama nervously chatters about his plans for the couple's activities, Asami undresses, gets into the hotel bed, and begs Aoyama to love only her. The couple seems like they are about to have sex, when suddenly the scene cuts to Aoyama alone in bed and awoken by a ringing phone. It's the hotel calling to ask if he'll be staying on since his "partner" left. Aoyama is confused and he tries to find Asami but has no luck. He does, however, meet a very odd man in a wheelchair and later hears about a vicious murder that took place at the bar where Asami claimed to work, but which has been closed for a year. Aoyama returns home, pours himself a glass of liquor, and then passes out on the floor after having a bad reaction to something in his drink.
As if Asami's mysterious bag and recent revelations about her troubled past weren't already creepy enough, Audition's narrative begins to fracture and from then on, the audience is never sure what is really happening.
There are flashbacks to previous scenes with added or different dialogue, all of which changes the nature of the audience's perception of Aoyama and Asami. Is Aoyama having hallucinations or is Miike showing us the "real" sides of his main characters? Asami is a monster, but perhaps she only became that way because of the way that men have treated her. Similarly, Aoyama initially appears to be a nice guy, but what kind of "nice guy" auditions wives? The film also implies that the reason for all the awkward moments between he and his secretary are due to a failed sexual relationship between the two.
For most of the movie, the characters are filmed in long or medium shots and in some cases, male and female characters are separated by a large distance. When Aoyama and Yoshikawa are discussing Aoyama's romantic prospects, there is a table of women in the distance whom the pair casually but vociferously criticizes. There is another woman at the bar who seems to serve no narrative purpose except to show their lack of empathy with women. The room in which the audition is set up shows a wide gap between Aoyama and Yoshikawa's table and the chair in which the women are asked to sit. Even the scenes that show Asami and Aoyama's romance place the couple at a distance from the camera.
This is all a noticeable contrast to the infamous torture scene, when Asami drugs and paralyzes Aoyama, sticks him with acupuncture needles, and slices off his right foot with wire. Her face is shown in close up, while she gleefully tortures her prey, something which seems more intimate than the moments the couple shared in the hotel room, especially the one where Aoyama stares at Asami, dressed in white and against the backdrop of a blue sky and fluffy white clouds.
Audition's status as one of the best horror films ever made is well-deserved. Miike begins the film with a tone that feels like the intro to a romantic comedy and slowly introduces incongruous or shocking elements until the film's conclusion, one in which explicit torture and eventually death are shown in uncompromising detail. The film is an obvious influence on more recent rape revenge films like The Soska Sisters' American Mary; Mary's black rubber apron, gloves, and medical bag all made their appearance first in Audition.
Regardless of whether viewers think Audition is a cautionary misogynist tale, a feminist fable, or something in between, it's unlikely that anyone who has seen the film will ever forget it.

U.S. Military Pay Chart 2021
November 6, 2021 by Military Pay Chary
U.S. Military Pay Chart 2021 – A military member that offers on basic task and also active duty is entitled to receive an allowance, solutions, and advantages as arranged by law. Having a consistent paycheck with a perk that frees from tax obligation is just one of the most significant benefits of functioning within the military. Below, you can review the description of the military pay chart and also the samples of the chart for 2020 and also 2021.
The standard pay chart shows a checklist of payment for the military members. The chart is made up based upon 2 key variables: their rank and their solution years, which pertaining to their pay grade general.
The basic pay is ranked on regular monthly basis and subjected to tax obligations just like private's taxable income. Comparable to private citizens that work in the private sector with a regular wage, the military participant is not qualified for overtime job repayment also. The majority of them will certainly obtain their month-to-month pay two times a month with the complete pay split in half for each and every, with the exception of Military participants in Flying force that can pick to obtain their monthly payment once a month instead.

I have a question here that I'm looking for answers from some experienced riders, as Ive only had my first bike since December & have maybe had 7 or 8 times of being on it. My question is this: I had a bad back since 1997 when I had spinal implants/fusion done for scoliosis (curvature of the spine). I had no problems with my back acting up & was able to ride without any problems despite my back. However, on March 1st I was in a pretty severe car accident (no I wasn't on my bike thankfully), however I injured my back pretty bad, to where almost every vertebrae in the back was subluxated (or shifted out of proper position), in return that caused me to have a very severe case of nerve impingement (piniching of my nerves) & along with pressure on my discs. I was disabled & unable to even work for the whole month of March. The chiropractor & doctors I have seen said that I have improved greatly & even I have noticed that I have definately improved, although I still have some subluxations, some nerves being pinched & am still in pain. I am itching to get back on my bike now that we are having 80 degree days, however do not want to make my injuries worse. So I am looking to those experienced riders out there, to see if they feel I should be able to ride again, or if I should wait until later down the road to try riding again. The type of bike I have is a 1983 Honda CB550SC Nighthawk, so its not one of those crotch rockets to where I am huntched over the take or one those bikes that are really rough going down the road. Please repost on your advice on if you's think I'm safe to get back on it now, if I should wait until I'm not having any problems before getting back on it, or worst case not ride again. Thanks in advance.
I will not be getting on the bike just yet. I found out today while at the chiropractors & also recieving physical therapy that my low back pain is caused by my sciatic nerve being pinched & it is close to being cut off from nerve supply all togather. Do to this my range of movement is far from what it should be for my left leg, thigh & hip. So I'm holding off on my bike, until that is taken care of.
hope you heal up soon and can ride, I would stay away from any rigid framed bike and if you cant heal enough maybe a trike might be the way to go?
Considering that I'm supposed to make a full recovery from the auto accident, other than a little loss of range of movement in my upper back, I should be good. I have to undergo physical therapy for a while & still undergo my chiropractor treatment, in order to fix my subluxations, regain proper movement in my neck, left arm, shoulder, leg, and lower back & regain some movement in upper back. From what I know right now, I should be able to get back on the bike, probably around July or August. Thankfully I have a '83 Honda Nighthawk which means its not too heavy, not no sport bike, and have adjustible suspension in the front & rear, so it would make a good bike to be on, since I can adjust the suspension to where I need it.
It will probably be a month or two or so before I get back on the bike for a regular basis, however I did get on it today & was able to do a couple short rides without problems, so I will continue to take it slow but it looks like I should be good.
Is it bad to be a biker?

Series Spotlight: Matter of Time Series by Mary Calmes
Nov 20, 2012 | 1 comment
Jory & Sam. To Mary Calmes fans, those two names hold a world of meaning and years of love, heartache, and mishaps. In the beginning, their story is one of the right person at the wrong time, but eventually it turns into a story of lasting love, trust, and dedication. The internal and external struggles between the men are both wonderful and painful to watch. But it is those struggles that keep readers, like me, glued to the pages.
In her A Matter of Time series, Calmes takes readers on several exciting adventures with Jory, who is a trouble magnet, and Sam, who spends most of his time trying to protect Jory – running from the Columbian drug cartel, hunting a serial killer, and trying to escape drug smugglers and gun-runners. These stories are full of action and adventure,as well as romance and love. There is never a dull moment and plenty humor and excitement.
The relationship between Jory and Sam is the biggest part of all of these books – the ups and downs, twists and turns, break ups and make ups. It's never boring and absolutely wonderful to watch. Readers fall in love with Jory and Sam, cheer for them when they're not together, and adore them when they are. They are the perfect match
A Matter of Time, Volume One (Books #1 & #2)
When Jory witnesses a murder and inadvertently stumbles into a narcotics investigation, his life is turned upside down. After refusing protective custody, Jory finds himself with a vice cop babysitter while he's being stalked by the killers. Detective Sam Kage is everything that Jory could ever dream of – assertive, demanding, strong, and in control. But the seemingly straight man is an enigma. Mixed signals and fear of rejection put Jory in danger of heartbreak. Just when a relationship with Sam looks like it might be possible, things always seem to pull them apart. As the murder mystery plays out, Jory finds himself running for his life more than once and finds out that he may not be able to trust the people he thought most likely to protect him.
Volume One is an introduction to Jory, his life, and the people in his life. Jory is caring, loving, devoted, hilarious, and honest to a fault sometimes. The struggle between Sam and Jory is both fun and heartbreaking to watch play out. I would describe their relationship as a game of tug of war in these first two books – both refusing to give in to the other while fighting to keep their lives from changing. In these installments, Calmes lays out a foundation and a history for Jory. She gives reason behind why Jory acts the way he does. I felt that the many men who are overly attracted to Jory went a little overboard but not enough to make me lose interest in the story. These two books are the basis for what happens in the stories that follow. They are a roller coaster of emotions – ups and downs, twist and turns. The love, heartbreak, protectiveness, betrayal, and fear all build up and create a bond between Sam and Jory that is both strong and fragile. There is no clear definition between the books. It felt kind of like reading a blog story. To me, the two books didn't even need to be separated. They both contained equal parts love story and mystery, but there was also quite a bit of repetition and explanation of earlier events that wasn't necessary. Even with the few quibbles I had, I was immediately addicted and couldn't wait for more of this series.
A Matter of Time ,Volume Two (Books #3 & #4)
In the three years since Sam left, Jory has used many things to fill the Sam-sized hole in his life. From drinking too much, to a long line of hook-ups, to even trying at a relationship with a man that he couldn't love, Jory did everything in his power to try and forget about Detective Sam Kage. But when Sam shows up wanting another chance, Jory is sure that he would never survive the probability of Sam leaving again. He barely made it out alive last time. But one can only push Sam away for so long before giving in, and for Jory it's always easier to give in. Almost as soon as Sam and Jory give it another try, they find themselves in the middle of another murder mystery. Only this time a serial killer is on the loose and is targeting Jory. When the killer begins to also target Jory's loved ones, he makes the choice to do anything to keep Sam safe, even as it tests their still fragile relationship.
This book is more adventurous and action-filled than the first volume. In Volume Two, Jory and Sam's relationship is more of a cat-and-mouse game. Gone is the back and forth struggle between them – okay, maybe not gone but definitely tamed. It's a game of chase. And once he catches Jory, Sam will do anything he in his power to keep him. Though the chase doesn't stop there, Jory gets himself in trouble more times than not in this book and Sam is always there for him, to help him, to save him, and to chase him when need be. This is the story where I really fell in love with Sam. I liked him a lot in the first two books, but here he has grown, learned from his mistakes, and found himself. His persistence, adoration, and dedication to Jory make this story great. The two books had more definition in this volume, which I appreciated. Book Three focused on Jory and Sam's relationship, and the chase. Book Four more focused on the murder mystery, Jory's amateur sleuthing, and, of course, the growing relationship between Jory and Sam.
Bulletproof (A Matter of Time # 5)
Three years later, Jory and Sam are still happily married, although Sam has been away for almost four months working undercover on a task force. When Jory saves a young man at a party, he finds himself in an strange situation. The young man's older brother, Cristo Liron – a dangerous man involved in gun-running and drug smuggling amongst other things – wants to meet Jory. And after their meeting, Jory somehow finds himself in the middle of Sam's undercover investigation. Long months with no contact and suddenly finding that Sam has been in town the entire time is hard on Jory. He feels somewhat abandoned, but he refuses to destroy Sam's case. When Jory's life is threatened by the local mob, he has no choice but to leave town and trust that Sam will keep him safe.
Bulletproof is action packed and exciting. I laugh every time I think about all of the trouble Jory gets into. He doesn't go out looking for it, it just seems to find him. In this book, we see a new maturity in Jory. Don't get me wrong, he's still spastic and high-strung, but he can admit when he's wrong and instead of running when he's scared, he sticks around to work things out. Sam is still Jory's hero, always around to save the day and most importantly love Jory with everything he's got. And their relationship is stronger than ever – trusting, loyal, and devoted. I loved the action and mystery in this storyline – the mob, the undercover workings, the secrets – it was all very entertaining, and served to bring Jory and Sam even closer if that was possible.
There is also a Jory and Sam "ficlet" titled Just Jory that is another day in the life of the trouble magnet that is Jory Harcourt. Where a simple errand turned hostage situation seems to be par for Jory's course in life. You can find it here.
Calmes creates characters in this series that are imaginative, fun, and lovable. Each is different and expressive, well-defined and well-developed. Jory Harcourt is one of the greatest characters out there. He's funny, spastic, impulsive, high-strung, and hard headed. His faults are many, but his quirks make up for them. Detective Sam Kage is the idyllic alpha male – physically strong, domineering, and possessive. His journey is one of self-discovery. He's strong and possessive, yet caring and tender. And I can't leave out the secondary cast. Not only does Calmes give life and explosive personalities to Jory and Sam, but she brings to life a full cast of amazing secondary characters. From Dane, the caring and protective big brother with a cold exterior, to Dylan, Jory's best friend, to Aaron, an ex-boyfriend turned maybe-friend, to Aja, Dane's loving and independent wife, to all of Sam's family members – the list is limitless. The secondary cast makes an already good story great and full of entertainment.
I love this series. It's a definite re-read for me. The stories are full of love, excitement, action, mystery, and more even love. And to be able to have a peek into Jory's life is an adventure in itself. I highly recommend Mary Calmes' A Matter of Time series.
The final installment, But For You, was released by Dreamspinner Press on October 12, 2012. My review for that book will be posted tomorrow.

I love this series but sometimes I wonder. Do you think Jorry is a bit of a 'gary sue' character?
By that I mean he seems to atrract men and everyone seems to love him or at least focus on him on a way that is rather difficult to understand.


An idyllic summer turns into a nightmare of unspeakable terror for yet another group of naive counselors. Ignoring Camp Crystal Lake's bloody legacy, one by one they fall victim to the maniacal Jason who stalks them at every turn.
Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after developing an infatuation with his daughter's attractive friend.
When a woman's father goes missing, she enlist a local to aid in her search. The pair soon discover that her father has died at the hands of a wealthy sportsman who hunts homeless men as a form of recreation.
In 1957, a son and mother flee the East and an abusive boyfriend to find a new life, and end up in Seattle, where the mother meets a polite garage mechanic. The boy continually gets into trouble by hanging out with the wrong crowd. The mom marries the mechanic, but they soon find out that he's an abusive and unreasoning alcoholic, and they struggle to maintain hope in an impossible situation as the boy grows up with plans to escape the small town by any means possible. Based on a true story by Tobias Wolff.
The story of two outcast sisters, Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins), in the mindless suburban town of Bailey Downs. On the night of Ginger's first period, she is savagely attacked by a wild creature. Ginger's wounds miraculously heal but something is not quite right. Now Brigitte must save her sister and save herself.

La baie de Luzhin (en russe Бухта Лужина), est une baie située dans l'oblast de Magadan en Russie.

Description

Petite baie circulaire avec de hauts rivages rocheux, elle se trouve sur la côte nord de la mer d'Okhotsk et est séparée de la baie Shelting, plus grande, à l'est, par la péninsule d'Onara.

Histoire

Des baleiniers américains naviguent dans la baie à la recherche de baleines boréales dans les années 1850 et 1860. Ils l'appellent alors Horseshoe Bay. Ils y jettent également l'ancre pour obtenir du bois et de l'eau. En 1860, l'Alice Frazier (406 tonnes), de New Bedford, tente d'y hiverner mais la glace de décembre se brise et entraine le navire en mer.

La baie a été nommée en l'honneur du cartographe Fyodor Luzhin.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Wesleyan University women's basketball team rallied in the third quarter, but Middlebury College prevailed in the final 10 minutes of regulation as the Cardinals lost 69-57 on Saturday afternoon in Silloway Gymnasium.
Three players scored in double-figures for Wesleyan—Olivia Gorman (14), Caleigh Ryan (11) and Katy O'Connor (10)—but the Cardinals dropped to 6-5 overall and 0-2 in league play. The Panthers received double-digit scoring efforts from five players as they improved to 12-0 and 2-0.
It was a defensive battle early as Wesleyan trailed 12-7 with 2:47 on the clock.
The Cardinals rallied down the stretch of the first quarter and a layup by O'Connor with four seconds remaining capped off a 9-2 run as Wesleyan led 16-14 after 10 minutes of play.
The lead was short-lived, however, as Middlebury opened the second quarter on a 6-0 run to go ahead 20-16.
Wesleyan was held scoreless until the 5:30 mark of the second as another layup by O'Connor cut the deficit to two.
Middlebury went on an 8-2 run to take a double-digit lead (30-20), but the Cardinals closed out the half with five unanswered as they trailed 30-25 at the break.
The third quarter went back-and-forth often.
Trailing 37-33, Wesleyan went on a 6-0 run as a jumper by O'Connor at the 3:20 mark put the home team on top for the first time since the end of the first quarter.
Middlebury responded with a run of its own, scoring eight of the next 10 points to go up four, but a layup by Ryan with 33 seconds on the clock cut the deficit to two as the Panthers held a 45-43 lead entering the fourth.
It was all Middlebury in the final 10 minutes of regulation.
A pair of free throws by Betsy Knox at the 1:31 mark capped off a 9-2 run as the Panthers led 62-49, essentially putting the game out of reach.
Tara Berger scored eight points and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds for Wesleyan. In addition to her 11 points, Ryan also grabbed seven boards and Ava Tompkins led the team in assists with a game-high six.
Colleen Caveney led all players with 15 points, while Maya Davis and Kira Waldman each scored 12, Alex Huffman dropped 11 and Knox added 10. Catherine Harrison controlled the glass and pulled in a game-high 14 boards, while Davis led the team with three assists.
Middlebury held a commanding 51-37 edge in rebounding. The Cardinals only went to the line eight times but finished 7-of-8 from the charity stripe.

Kelsey Grammer's "parting gift" to ex-wife, Camille: "You always wanted to be famous, here you go"
Actor Kelsey Grammer is a guest on "Piers Morgan Tonight" next week in an emotional, hour-long interview. He opens up about his ex-wife, Camille Grammer – a subject he rarely talks about. "The 'Real Housewives' was my parting gift to her," Grammer told Piers Morgan. "It was my way of saying 'look you always wanted to be famous, here you go.'"
Now, says Grammer, "we have no contact." But: "The only thing I've ever really wanted was to try to work out something that would be nice for the kids." Here's Grammer's advice for women who say they want a divorce:
"If you say I want a divorce enough times you're going to get one," he said.
Grammer has a theory about why they were married in the first place: "I think she married me because I was Frasier." Watch the full interview Monday night, 9pmET/PT. Here's Grammer's thoughts on the tea party.

Yassess Leves From TMZ
Good Luck Kelsey On Your New Show!
Marie Doubleday
I find Morgan Piers' comment that British women are better than American women insulting and inappropriate on American television coming from a British national or any one else for that matter. Many of us as an American people have worked hard to be accepting of each other.
Kelsey Grammer is so full of himself. He thinks he is such a gift to women. He is "in love" with Kayte right now. We'll see how he feels in a few years (if she is still with him) as he can't seem to be faithful to one woman for too long before he finds someone else. His new wife is alot younger than he is. I wonder if she married him for himself, or because he is an actor who happens to have alot of money!
Why didn't Piers ask about Grammer's effort to gain primary custody of only his son, telling Cammile she could have custody of their daughter? TMZ was able to dig up the court docs, was the Morgan staff asleep at the wheel on this one or did Piers just not want to put him on the spot about it?
You've got to be effin' kidding me, Grammer. Dignified? Anything but. The REAL Mrs. Grammer may have married you when you were Frasier, but she stayed when you were a drunk and an addict. I would never humiliate my wife this way.
Gotham Cha
Piers, you did the right thing getting off AGT.. You lost all credibility when you went to CNN and continue to show a ultra liberal bias

Piers Morgan sucks up so much to his guests, it is painful to watch. He was at his lowest during the interview with Kelsey Grammer. I am so bored with his interviews. Kelsey Grammer is a pig and Piers Morgan is not too far behind. Suck up to your american audience, you idot, insterad of insulting it.

Shelar told the media that the redevelopment had been stalled for several decades. "The Shinde-Fadnavis government has worked towards getting rid of that problem. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis pursued it relentlessly and got the assent from the President, and a new law has been enforced," he said.
"For Mumbaikars, this decision is worth celebrating like Diwali. The transit camps are in a bad condition. Now provisions will be made at the same place where people reside. The government has taken all the responsibility. A time frame has also been decided," he added.
According to the BJP MLA, the owners will get their share from the tenants and from the sales component. "The bullying done by the owners of the cessed buildings will now come to an end," he said.
Commenting on the flare-up of the border row with Karnataka, also ruled by the BJP, Shelar said that Maharashtra had the first right on the border villages and that the state government did not want to escalate the tensions.
The government would ensure many schemes would be implemented in those areas and the water-related schemes in Jat taluka in Sangli would be completed, he added.
"We will counterattack if someone tries to play mischief. We are presenting our views in the Supreme Court. If there is any kind of aggression from Karnataka, the BJP will give a befitting reply from Maharashtra. Anyone can travel anywhere. If a minister from Maharashtra wants to go there, no one can stop him," he said.
Asked about Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's controversial remarks on Chhatrapati Shivaji, Shelar said, "We disagree with the governor's statement. What he said about Shivaji Maharaj was wrong. We do not agree or justify it."

"BJP MP Udayanraje Bhosale has the right to protest against the remarks. Udayanraje is a descendant of Shivaji Maharaj. We consider Shivaji Maharaj as our revered king. He is our great guide and inspiration," Shelar added.

Notre Dame and the Identity of France
by Charles Hugh-Smith
These are not matters solely of politics and finance; they are manifestations of the elite war on the identity of France.
As rationalists, we're supposed to take the dramatic and profoundly tragic fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris as random chance or bad luck. But I cannot be the only one who feels a symbolic tie between the near-destruction of a French religious and cultural icon and the embattled identity of France.
As it happens, I am reading Fernand Braudel's massive two-volume history The Identity of France: Volume One: History and Environment and Volume Two: People and Production.
Longtime readers know I have often recommended Braudel's three-volume history, Civilization and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century, as essential to the understanding of the rise of Capitalism in Europe:
The Structures of Everyday Life (Volume 1)
The Wheels of Commerce (Volume 2)
The Perspective of the World (Volume 3)
The Chinese famously view natural disasters and similar events as portents of political change, as disasters suggest the Emperor/ruling elite has lost the Mandate of Heaven. It is difficult not to see the disastrous fire in Notre Dame as just such a portent.
For the identity of France is under assault on a number of fronts. The left-leaning status quo has set up a false duality: one either worships multiculturalism and rejects a national identity as the sworn enemy of multiculturalism, or one is a rightist racist. Thus anyone who even refers to a national identity of France is quickly vilified and marginalized.
This is of course a false choice: one can value multiculturalism as an essential part of a national identity without sacrificing the entire notion of a national identity.
As Braudel notes at the end of Volume Two, France has long been ruled by tiny elites. A mere 242 financiers held contracts to collect taxes for the monarchy in the early 1700s; Braudel notes that "La Haute Banque in Paris, during the Restoration and later, consisted of a mere 25 families."
In the highly centralized political power structure of today's France, the leadership–from Macron down– are all graduates of a few select universities. Like Macron, the leadership was selected early and quickly advanced over lesser elites.
Globalized, hyper-financialized elitist Capitalism, so dependent on cheap immigrant labor for its servants, has left "deep France" behind, stripped of economic and political power, and relegated to dependency on the welfare state in rural regions (only the favored few and those with state-subsidized housing can afford to live in Paris).
These are not matters solely of politics and finance; they are manifestations of the elite war on the identity of France, to transform it into a bland, globalized hierarchy in which capital and power benefit the few, a system enforced by state propaganda and public virtue-signaling.
To quote Slavoj Žižek:
"The yellow vests movement fits the specific French Left tradition of large public protests targeting the political, more than the business or financial, elites. However, in contrast to the 68' protests, the yellow vests are much more a movement of France profonde ('deep France'), its revolt against big metropolitan areas, which means that its Leftist orientation is much more blurred."
Here is Andrew Joyce (On Yellow Vests and Monsters):
"Amidst the sea of evasions, disavowals, and contradictions, it remains the case that the White working class has been abandoned by both the Old Right and the Left. In some cases, the White working class is the reason for the same evasions, disavowals, and contradictions: they are an uncomfortable, and now more visible, reminder of broken promises and unfulfilled obligations.
Guilluy adds that 'the economic divide between peripheral France and the metropolises illustrates the separation of an elite and its popular hinterland. Western elites have gradually forgotten a people they no longer see. The impact of the gilets jaunes, and their support in public opinion (eight out of 10 French people approve of their actions), has amazed politicians, trade unions and academics, as if they have discovered a new tribe in the Amazon.'
I disagree that visibility, presented in passive terms, is the key issue here. In fact, I believe a better analogy would be that of an Amazonian tribe that had been systematically targeted for extinction, and was assumed to have been incapable of mustering any kind of resurgence.
We shouldn't forget that it became common practice on the Left to pretend the White working class didn't exist, and that it was also viewed as explicitly oppositional on the Left and among cosmopolitan elites to offer the White working class, as an ethno-economic group, any kind of material or ideological support."
Lastly, here is Christophe Guilluy, author of Twilight of the Elites: Prosperity, the Periphery, and the Future of France:
Employment and wealth have become more and more concentrated in the big cities. The deindustrialised regions, rural areas, small and medium-size towns are less and less dynamic. But it is in these places – in peripheral France (one could also talk of peripheral America or peripheral Britain) – that many working-class people live. Thus, for the first time, "workers" no longer live in areas where employment is created, giving rise to a social and cultural shock. … The globalised metropolises are the new citadels of the 21st century – rich and unequal, where even the former lower-middle class no longer has a place. Instead, large global cities work on a dual dynamic: gentrification and immigration. This is the paradox: the open society results in a world increasingly closed to the majority of working people."
The corporate media, a key defender of the self-serving elite, will reject any symbolism in the near-destruction of Notre Dame. But deep down, many sense what cannot be spoken openly: the elites in France have lost the Mandate of Heaven.

HairMax's Lasercombs are clinically studied and FDA approved for both women and men. The company even claims that over 90 percent of their customers encounter "noticeable benefits" with continued use.
This Pininfarina-designed device has 82 medical grade lasers that carry out maximum light to your follicles, along with a patented hair parting teeth system that helps you attain the best results. In actuality, with LaserBand 82, HairMax claims your treatments can last as little as 90 seconds, three times weekly.
As its name implies, LaserBand 41 boasts 41 medical-grade lasers (no LEDs) to stimulate hair follicles at the cellular level, to boost hair growth, and reverse hair thinning. And with its Flex-fit head band design, it should be comfy for most head shapes and sizes.
The HairMax Laser Combs are made for women and men going through androgenetic alopecia. This is a medical term for hereditary hair loss. Treatment is self-administered. The laser comb is combed through the hair 3 times per week for around 15 minutes. Bonus: your arms will grow larger after 45 minutes of weekly combing. Brush the comb over the entire scalp region that's going through the thinning process. Ideally, this counteracts the thinning process. Instead of hair becoming thinner and gradually falling out completely, they will start to get denser. This will provide you with additional scalp coverage and a healthy looking head of hair.
If you like to talk about the technical terminology, this biological process is known as PhotoBioStimulation. This raises adenosine three phosphate (ATP) and keratin production. Enhancing cellular metabolism and activity, these two coenzymes are manage intracellular energy transfer as well as being known for stimulating living cells such as the hair follicle cells.
The other mechanism which these low-level laser treatments are liable for is increased blood flow. Hair follicles require a number of nutrients to grow healthy and strong. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) gets in the way of the delivery system. The laser comb assists in making sure nutrients are delivered more efficiently to hair follicles and additionally removes said DHT in the scalp.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a regulatory body whose major job is to protect consumers from advertising stunts and dangerous products. They oversee matters such as food safety laws and dietary supplements. They've a rigorous and thorough application and testing process that companies must submit to that in part, if successful, can validate their products claims.
As we mentioned, the HairMax Laser Comb is the only hair loss treatment gadget approved by the FDA. It's one of the three hair loss treatment products given FDA approval as clinically proven hair loss treatment methods. The other two treatments given approval are a topical product by the name of Minoxidil (Rogaine) and an orally administered product called Propecia.
We will discuss a little history on how HairMax's submission to the FDA has been approved. Lexington International LLC conducted a study in U.S.A. This clinical study was performed in 4 various areas. In the end, this study concluded that 93 percent of participants using the HairMax Laser Comb had a decrease in the number of terminal hairs. That means these participants who were aged 30 to 60 increased the amount of thick hairs. This increase was an average of approximately 19 hairs/cm over a six month interval. So for each square centimeter of scalp, there was an extra 19 hairs in participants who used the laser comb.
For Lasercombs, Hairmax gives a 3 Pay installment plan to help settle the costs. If you ordered a HairMax laser comb using the 3 monthly payments choice, you are on a multi-pay billing plan. Multi-pay is only available to customers ordering directly from Lexington International with a credit card, and discount codes along with other promotional offers might not be applied to such orders. A 10% fee is added to the then given purchase price when using the multi-pay option to purchase a laser device.
Payments immediately post to the credit card used on the order around every 30 days, with the first payment posting on the date of the order. You don't have to contact Lexington International or manually send payments. Funds have to be available on the card for every expense.
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days of order placement and are delivered with FedEx, UPS, or USPS, FedEx, USPS, or UPS. Overnight orders shipped to a Post Office Box could take up to 2 business days to be delivered. International orders ship through FedEx International Economy service or UPS Worldwide Expedited. For orders containing HairMax devices, tracking numbers are given through email after shipment.
Orders shipped internationally may require duties or additional fees to be paid for in the country for importation. Please be aware that these expenses are assessed as part of the import process and are not fees coming from Lexington International.
When putting an order for delivery outside the United States of America, please be aware that the international shipping charge that appears in your Order Summary DOESN'T cover Local Taxes, VAT and/or Duty that is assessed in the country the order will be delivered to. Such Local Taxes, VAT and/or Duty should be given AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY.
HairMax wants the customers to be totally please with the HairMax laser device, so the company provides a money back guarantee for orders placed directly with Lexington International: HairMax laser devices can be returned within 20 weeks to get a refund, less a 20% restocking fee on the total purchase price. (Please be aware that, if you are purchasing a HairMax laser device with a payment plan, the 20% restocking fee will be assessed on the full purchase price value of the laser device, and not on any individual payments which you may have made prior to returning the HairMax laser device with our money back guarantee.) This money back guarantee is effective from the day of shipping. You will be requested to secure a Return Merchandise Authorization and pay the return shipping costs and the applicable restocking fee (stated above). Please be mindful that only orders placed directly through Lexington International are eligible for the money back guarantee. Nonetheless, more than 90% of HairMax's users do see recognizable benefits with continuous HairMax use, therefore, the customer won't really be utilizing this.
All HairMax laser devices acquired through Lexington International or from a licensed distributor includes a 2-year factory warranty against defects in materials or workmanship from Lexington International, LLC. Lexington may extend this warranty period under certain conditions. For further warranty information, please refer to the user manual (included in the packing materials of your laser device).
To receive warranty service, you should ship the item freight paid, in either its original packaging or packaging giving an equal standard of protection, along with your name and address.
Cost effective: Cost effectiveness is one of the added advantages with laser combs, compared surgical routes. With hair transplant surgery, you might need a number of sessions with the surgeon which may cost a lot of cash. On the contrary, a laser comb is a one-time investment that could be utilized only when it needs to be used.
Simple usage: The laser combs are as simple as combing your hair. You need to just simply turn it on and comb it right through your hair.
Method: It is very important to utilize laser combs as directed in order to reap positive results from it. If you aren't using it correctly, you may not see any results.
