Outstanding Partner Though Challenging Situation
Fund: Menlo Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-07-01
I cannot imagine a better VC partner. I joined as CEO during a rough transion, at a point when most VCs would have probably abandoned our ship. Mark Siegel is an extremely effective board member and advisor. He never forced any issue, and was highly effective asking the right questions and offering advice while we worked our way through a complex situation over an extended period of time. Menlo's partners blew us away when our management team went to them to report that we had to execute a significant "pivot" and needed them to provide additional bridge financing to do so. They deomnstrated a keen understanding of our market, poked hard at our assumtions and plans, and stuck with us when we needed them most. Ultimately we found a buyer and managed a decent exit. I'll take my next opportunity to them first.PRIVATE: Members Only (159 Characters)

We took a deal to Menlo and it was a very positive experience. New litigation stopped the term sheet, but until then the process was reasonably efficient. But I was particularly impressed with the quality of the people. Greatly enjoyed working with Shawn Carolan, but all the others involved were smart and challenging without being arrogant or condescending. I've since recommended several deals to Menlo, and continue to put them on the top of my list of quality VC's, based on my experience.PRIVATE: Members Only

Menlo invested in my last gig in one of the last of the bubble craziness in early 2001. The strategy was always compelling and so Menlo helped us through a massive resizing and the raising of additional rounds. John Jarve was our board member and was always very straight, very gentlemanly and extremely sharp. He and the Menlo partnership were always there for us. If you can get John to invest in your company, especially in the first round, you won't regret it.PRIVATE: Members Only (508 Characters)

Long Relationship, Outstanding Experience
Fund: Menlo Ventures
Posted by Mihir Parikh on 2007-12-31
I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with Menlo Ventures. In 1984, they funded my first company Asyst Technologies, Inc. and remained patient supporters & investors until I took Asyst public in '93. I stayed on as CEO of Asyst until '02 with revenues of over $500M. Since my 'retirement' from Asyst, I kept in touch with them and they have since funded my second company, Aquest Systems.
My experience with Menlo has been truly outstanding. In particular, DuBose Montgomery has been a true partner in my building Asyst and now in building Aquest. My long and fruitful experience with DuBose & Menlo Ventures, truly dispel the disparaging monikers occasionally given to VCs. In fact, I cannot over-emphasize the support they gave me during the long gestation we had at Asyst and now their continued trust & support in my second time to bat - at Aquest.

Like the firm and most of the partners. Have worked with a number of them in the past at a previous company with great success. Only downside is that the firm is growing so much there is always politics in getting a deal done with them. Found them to be very honest, upfront and in with the team for the long haul.

I have been working with Menlo Venture, and Shawn Carolan, for about 1.5 years since they lead our latest round of $30M financing. Menlo has a very strong portfolio in Wireless, including MobiTV, the leading provider of TV on mobile phones, and TeleNav, the leading LBS player in US. As a active investor, Menlo coordinate networking events to help its portfolio companies and share connections, insights and best practices. I have benefited quite bit in these. Also I work closely with Shawn in business ideas and strategies. He has strong knowledge and experience with wireless and internet space. Plus he is very smart and strategic. He is not really push as a board member. He is very responsive to my request, making introductions and respond to my business ideas. I consider him as a great friend and business partner to bounce idea with. Always get great perspective from him. He might be the youngest managing director in Silicon Valley, but he impresses me quite often with his maturity and depth of thinking. For our last round of financing, we had 4 termsheets from top Sand Hill VCs, and we choose Menlo. Overall I am very happy with choosing Menlo as our major investor, especially working with Shawn. Zero regret.PRIVATE: Members Only
Top Notch Investor to Have on Your Side
Fund: Menlo Ventures
Posted by anonymous on 2007-06-22
I have had the chance to work with many of the partners at Menlo Ventures and one thing that stands out compared to any other firm that I have worked with is the humility and lack of "I am god" attitude that you see in this business. I have also yet to come across another group that is as respectful of entrepreneurs as they are.
Most of the partners were hands on engineers or engineering managers at some point and I think this is a good explanation for some of the comments here. You are likely to receive feedback consistent with someone with a deep understanding of technology. If thats going to bum you out, dont approach them.
They are also a standup firm, they will not fund direct competition and most importantly for an entrepreneur - they have the staying power to ride out the tough times with you. I have experienced this personally.
Mark is a great guy to work with as are Shawn and John. I agree with the other comments that few work as hard as Shawn in helping the portfolio companies. John and Mark have a wealth of experience to derive from and the partnership works as a team to help portolfio companies. I routinely receive assistance from many of the partners there, not just the one on my board.
The one other thing that I have seen very few other posts address is how a firm works with you after you get funded. Frankly, this is where you want to spend the bulk of your time in selecting investors (assuming you have a fundable business). John, Mark, and Shawn are extremely helpful at the board level and never jump in with random ghosts to chase or "soup du jour" suggestions. The times they get involved have resulted in commercial partnerships or key hires. Nothing is a bigger drag on a CEO or management team's time than random board suggestions.
Oh and the size of the fund doesn't hurt either :)PRIVATE: Members Only

Of the 20+ VC's I have engaged, nobody wasted our time as much as Menlo. Endless requests for information from Associates on long unknown time lines, and they do almost no math themselves. They only moved when told we were going with another firm, and only then did we find out that the partners weren't behind it.
Smart folks, but I would only consider them in a syndicate when (1) they aren't the lead, and (2) the partner is identified and excited.PRIVATE: Members Only (163 Characters)

Get Rid of That Inner Tube Around Your Waist
Sure, it's absolutely freezing outside and everyone is bundled up like mummies, but it will be summer again before you know it, which means that beach season isn't quite as far away as a calendar makes it seem. And while it's cool to spending summer days floating around the pool in an inner tube, looking like you ate one might not be the look you're going for this year.
1. Cut Back on the Carbs
Having experienced the carb craze a few years ago, this advice is nothing new. The key, as you likely know, is to avoid refined carbs (pasta,white rice, candy, etc.) like the plague, as they will spike your insulin levels, leading to the storage of more fat. Stick to slower-digesting carb sources like vegetables and whole grains.
2. Reduce Your Caloric Intake
This pretty basic tenet is one that people, for some reason or another, tend to be the worst at adhering to. For best results, try cutting about 20% of your normal caloric intake. This way, you don't run the risk of catabolizing muscle, too, by restricting your diet to too few calories. If you don't know how many calories you're currently consuming, start checking nutritional labels today. Then,once you've established how many calories you're currently eating, take that number and reduce it by 20%.
3. Trim the Fat
Remember, fat is not always a bad thing. But, it's also important to bear in mind that for each gram of fat you consume, you're taking in 9 calories. So, without going too crazy, you may want to try cutting back your fat consumption by one-third. The best way to do this is to try low-fat versions of foods (providing they haven't upped the carb/sugar content to make up for the flavor void), eat leaner choices of meat and poultry, and skip a yoke now and again with your eggs. Be this all as it may, do not go as far as to neglect your body of the healthy fats found in fish, avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
4. Go Pro
To make up for the small caloric deficit left by cutting back on fat and carbs, try eating more protein. Because protein is relatively slow-digesting, it requires your body to burn more calories for it to be processed, thereby amping up your metabolic rate. Also,protein helps curb hunger by increasing certain peptide levels, which signal your brain that you are satiated.
5. Eat More
Seems counterintuitive, doesn't it? The key is to make sure that you are eating small meals throughout the day. Gone are the days when three squares is the norm (that is, unless you're in prison). Most people by now are hip to the concept that eating five to six small meals at regularly scheduled times of the day is the best way to rev up your metabolism and burn more calories. This isn't to say that you have to eat like a bird all day. Breakfast and dinner, in particular, can still be larger in portion size (lunch can be sizeable, as well). But, you don't want to starve yourself in between those meal times. This is where the other small meals come into play. As a result, you won't end up gorging a few Big Macs for dinner because you're level of hunger won't necessitate such indulgence. Instead, you might opt for a small piece of fish or chicken and a side of vegetables.
I'm not a dietitian, nor have I ever played one on TV, so you may want to consult with a professional before making some or all of the above dietary changes. Still, in my personal opinion — and based on years of experience with health and fitness — I can say with confidence that these are healthy and effective ways to help deflate that inner tube of yours.
Dog Training Tips – What You Need to Know
While kids everywhere else in the world (especially in Finland!) relax and probably enjoy their studies, the kids in India aren't so lucky.
Everyone else already has a laptop and is well-versed with it, and yet our children continue to do things the old-fashioned way.
It's typical of this country to lag behind in a number of departments but it's sacrilege when it comes to hampering the future of our nation. To be honest, this has been my biggest gripe for a while now, thanks to being able to see the difference the way different education systems work.
At least, they don't hit children anymore because this generation of kids are more than happy to stand up to their adults and rebel verbally and violently.
Speaking of disciplinary action such as this, why should we use it especially since most dog trainers have moved away from training dogs this way as well. There are certain cases, like training dogs in a city, that can make things more difficult. However, a few simple tips can help one navigate these sometimes troublesome waters.
A Few Thoughts on Dog Training
You might say that humans and animals are different but it begs the question: Is cruelty necessary?
It isn't, truly. But that's how dogs have been trained in the past.
The general attitude towards teaching obedience training has been harsh, to say the least. Whether it is a beating or even shock collars to keep them in check, one wonders if it is fair since we wouldn't be allowed to treat humans that way too.
So, it is not with love and affection that the poor canines were trained but by subjugation and inculcating behaviors that were forced due to the "fear of punishment".
Thankfully, common sense prevailed and a method known as 'positive reinforcement' has changed the way dog training is done now.
In other words, instead of punishing them for bad behavior, we reward them for good behavior instead.
What does happen is that when they are rewarded, they tend to do what pleases the 'master' if only for a few more treats.
It is how school children should be treated as well when learning manners too. One should refrain from criticizing their children but encouraging them for their achievements, however minimal.
That said, here are a few dog training tips that one can use even if the services of a dog trainer isn't required at all.
Dog Training Tips – The Basics
The most popular commands that are taught are sit, down, heel, recall, stay and close where the right behavior is rewarded and the wrong is ignored.
While these commands are necessary, there are others that can cause problems with friends and family, and so here are a few situations that a dog must be trained for:
#1: Not to Bite
When they have the urge to bite, tug at their leash so as to divert their attention to something else that interests him or her.
#2: Fetch an object
Throw a tennis ball and walk away so that the dog gets it back for you. Then you can teach it to fetch other objects such as the newspaper too as it understand the meaning of this command.
#3: Not to bark at visitors
Since this can be scary for visitor, train them to "sit" as soon as the doorbell rings.
#4: Crate training puppies
Using a kennel crate works best as they are more likely to pee or poop when they are asleep.
In Closing
So, are there any other dog training tips that you would like to add to this list? Feel free to add them in the comments section below.
Also, here is an article on the best dog foods.
What You Need for the Perfect Gym Storage Solution
If you operate your own professional gym or are looking to create a home setup, it's crucial that you carefully consider your storage solutions. A tidy gym is without doubt a happy environment for people to work out in!
Good storage will help protect equipment from scratches and other damage, make it easy to find where equipment has been left, and prevent hazards such as trips.
It can also help the gym to feel more of a clean and organised environment that can keep members motivated while working out, which typically leads to a higher retention rate.
When it comes to gym storage, there are not many companies around that share the same expert knowledge as PowerGym Fitness. PowerGym is a supplier of commercial gym equipment, from weights and barbells to high-end strength training machines, with clients throughout the world.
They are also experienced in providing gyms with advice and support for installing the perfect setup.
PowerGym Fitness have provided us with some pointers on how you can create the perfect gym storage solution for your commercial facility or home setup.
Dumbbell Racks
The type of storage you will require can depend on the type of equipment that your gym provides. For example, some gyms may specialize in cardio equipment as opposed to strength training, or vice versa. That said, most gyms will typically include dumbbells.
Dumbbells are a popular form of free weights that can help users to build muscle mass. Dumbbell racks are one of the best ways that you can keep your gym tidy and free of hazards.
Without a rack, there would be no designated place for members to collect and return a dumbbell. Dumbbells left on the floor can cause damage and can be hazardous for other members when walking around the gym space.
These racks are designed to securely hold a certain amount of dumbbells when they are not in use. All round, it adds a safer and more organised structure to your environment and increases the longevity of the dumbbells.
Weight Plates Holders
As with dumbbells, most gyms typically include some type of weight plates. Tri grip and bumper weight plates are two examples that are available for purchase at PowerGym Fitness.
The plates can be attached to a barbell which can be used for effective and flexible weightlifting routines. One type of weight plate holder includes a storage tree.
This provides the option of a simple vertical holder where the plates can just slide on to a storage horn. Another option is a wall weight plate storage, allowing easy access to plates from a wall position – plus, it saves up space and improves the aesthetic design of your gym!
Mat Hangers
Gym mats are essential for exercises that require closer physical contact with the floor. This can include press-up exercises as well as Yoga, Pilates and studio workouts. Mats provide an extra level of comfort so that you don't encounter discomfort when encountering the floor.
Mats can be used by a lot of people each day, so naturally there's a lot of wear and tear. Mats that aren't stored properly can lead to greater damage which will result in you needing to replace the mats sooner than should be required. With a mat hanger, when the mats are not in use, they can be stored safely to prevent unnecessary damage.
Barbell Storage
Whether you use a barbell freely or with a weight plate attached, it's important that you store the bar appropriately when it's not in use. Bars can be very heavy which can lead to floor damage and potentially serious injury if it drops to the floor or is left unsecured.
Like with weight plates, there are options for horizontal and vertical storage. These storage products can either be attached to the wall or the floor. They provide an organised and safe place for barbells to rest when not in use.
Cable Attachment Racks
Cable attachments are additional products that can help athletes take their strength training to the next level with varied workouts. With several types of attachments available, from revolving bars to handles and ropes, they expand the options that are available on a cable machine.
Most of these attachments are quite small, so it can be easy for them to become lost or get muddled in with other pieces of equipment. A cable attachment rack is a great way to store the attachments so that gym members can easily see where the attachments they require are placed.
Power Rack Storage Horns
Power racks are fantastic pieces of equipment to have in your gym. They are premium products that often act as the centerpiece of the gym. Power racks provide a safe space to perform a wide range of exercises, with freedom of choice left to the user.
Alongside the power rack, it's widely recommended that you get storage horns that will seamlessly attach to the power rack. These horns can then be used as a storage option for weight plates. It will allow you to free up space around the gym and provides users with a quick and easy way to access the plates they need.
Storage Cages
The storage options that we have talked about so far clearly relate to products that have been specifically designed for certain gym equipment. To improve the tidiness, safety and structure of your facility event further, you can get a storage cage that will hold the rest of your smaller items.
This can include things such as medicine balls and bags, as well as boxing equipment. The cage can usually be locked for added security and with lockable wheels, it's easy to transport the equipment from place to place.
Top Five Supplement Reviews To Check Out
In this modern world, we are so used to having a lot of "instant". Most of us are not used to the long and arduous processes, even though we think we do. You may have noticed the impatience of most people especially when it comes to services. They want to have what they want right now, and this is why most companies adapt to the situation.
You can see it in their products and services; they want to deliver it fast enough to save more time. The same reason applies to humans who want them all as soon as they can. Even the food industry has to go with this notion, but this has also led to a new trend: obesity.
This may not be a problem in most countries. In the West though, it is considered a major health issue. There has been an increase in the overall weight of the US population for example; at least 40% of the people over 20 are overweight as this article reveals.
It has been such a serious problem due to the prevalence of fast-food chains. There is nothing wrong with consuming them, but many depend on them for their daily diet. With all of its sugars and salt, it can be quite detrimental to your health in the long run.
New Horizons in Medicine
Fortunately, there have been advances in the field of medicine as well. Weight loss has become way different compared to the way it was in the previous century. People did not know anything about it. There was a time when fat is considered as the devil's advocate of being overweight, and sugar was thought to be the healthier option. Even though this has already changed in recent times, there is still a prevalence of this kind of thought in many circles. If you want to lose weight, you need to read and learn more about the proper way of doing it.
There might be a lot of factors that can contribute to this goal but we are just going to narrow it down to three: diet, exercise, and genetics. There is nothing that we can do with the last one though since this is already in our system. Some people might be lucky enough that they do not need to control their diet or even exercise. Their bodies have already reached their full potential, so all they need to do is to maintain it.
Unfortunately, others are not that lucky. It is either they need to have a rigorous diet plan, more exercise, or both. It is a lot of effort to lose the mass, but it can be worth it in the end. You may visit Supplement Smarts website and other similar sites to learn more info regarding this.
If you are experiencing difficulties or you want to have the results faster, then you might need to take a supplement for that. There are many options in the market these days, so choosing just one can be quite confusing. You also need to understand that not all of these supplements may work for you. Below are some of the best substances that can certainly help you with weight loss.
Options for Cutting Those Flabs
Everyone knows what this is; it is just the main ingredient in the most popular beverage in the world besides water. Aside from being the universal pick-me-up in the mornings, it has also been found that caffeine can assist in weight loss.
It speeds up metabolism moderately, which also helps in the faster absorption of calorie intake and fat burning process. However, you do need to take it in conjunction with other substances for it to take on full effects. You also need to be careful as it can still cause dependence.
Green tea Extract
Another common beverage that has some medicinal properties, green tea has been around for ages. It has its origins in China, but the rest of the world is already enjoying it. However, green tea is the fresher version and it has little to no added processing in its consumption.
It is rich in antioxidants, as well as having the ability to burn fat. It is more focused on the stomach area though, where most of our extra fat goes anyway. If you want to reduce your waistline, then having this a part of your daily supplement may help with that. Check this link https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/269538 to know more.
Garcinia cambogia Extract
This might seem to be unfamiliar to most people, but it has been gaining some popularity in the previous decade due to its mainstream exposure. It is a green fruit with pale flesh, and it is native to Indonesia although other countries have started cultivating it as well.
Garcinia cambogia contains hydroxycitric acid, also known as citric acid lyase. This is said to help in losing weight by also removing excess fat from the body. There are still ongoing studies about this as there is unclear evidence of how it works. However, it is safe to consume as long as you control your dose.
This is another form of supplement, but this time it is a combination of other substances including caffeine, wild mint extract, and cumin extract among others. It was developed by MuscleTech Research and Development, and it aims to help you lose those extra pounds.
It has been rather popular for the first ten years of its existence due to these various extracts. Even though it is under one name, there are many kinds of it available in the market. Some of them even exclude some ingredients like caffeine for those who have adverse effects from taking them.
Lastly, this is a diet supplement made from a root vegetable called konjac or elephant yam. It is full of fiber amongst other nutrients, which make them great for controlling your eating habits. Once you eat or drink a supplement, it will make you feel full because of all the fiber.
It will also help with digestion and excretion of wastes in your stomach. However, you will need to drink a lot of water when using this as it can promote too much hydration loss. You will also need to check on your doctor if you can use this safely and follow the dosage always.

Letters to the Editor for July 16, 2013
Bad public policy
It is amazing to me that the immigration feud is supposedly so one party or the other doesn't lose its vote.
Here are a few facts that I just learned about (shame on me). Hispanic voters in the U.S. are 17.2 percent of the population. Now, if someone got 50 percent of the Hispanic vote, that means they got 8.6 percent of the vote. The white population makes up 70 percent of the voters, so we should all just give in and let all the illegals in so 8 percent can have their way.
Does this sound right or fair? The law is the law and should be enforced. We really do not need a new law.
Sure, we have to do something about the illegal ones already here, but we do not have to give them our jobs, money or health care. Once you cull the criminals out of the illegals that are here, you won't have that many left to help.
Marco Rubio's plan was one of the best, but he changed horses in midstream just like the others. They are so afraid of losing that 8 percent of the vote. Ridiculous!
I feel we should think about the people who came here legally the hard way. They waited their turn. They did it right. Coming here illegally is a crime. What happens to us if we enter Mexico illegally?
Build the fence we were promised years ago and again now. The law they are pushing through is filled with pork also. President Obama promised to end that. Ha!
Pat Lee
The system worked
So, the trial is concluded and the verdict is in. Given what I read and heard of the evidence adduced to support or refute the charges against Mr. Zimmerman, the verdict of the jury appears to be correct.
That said, there remains a nagging feeling that justice was not served in this case. The defendant disobeyed orders to leave any investigation to appropriate law enforcement entities. His failure to do so must be viewed, I suspect, as the cause of the tragedy that ensued. Yet, he walks a free man. Why?
The jury system. Oh no. After jurists, lawyers and other pundits weighed in that the jury system worked in the Casey Anthony debacle, any critique of the system now falls short.
The judge? Don't think so. She appeared tough and fair throughout the ordeal. If anything she leaned towards the prosecution. Nope. That's out.
The defense? Nope. Despite poor jokes and an excruciatingly awkward cross examination, they did their jobs.
The prosecution. Ah, now we're getting warmer. The State in its various manifestations chose nearly the maximum charges against the defendant, charges that we now see in hindsight were not supported by the available evidence.
Mr. Zimmerman took the life of a young man who did not have to die. That was clear and the evidence was incontrovertible. Yet, Mr. Zimmerman's actions, in the eyes of the jury and others, fell far short of the level of culpability argued by the state. Lesser charges would have resulted in a conviction.
If you will forgive the analogy, by swinging for the fences when a single would have won the game, the state ended up losing everything — especially the respect of the community.
Why this was done will no doubt be the subject of books and TV movies. That it was done resulted in a lack of justice and a disservice to the Martin family.
Robert Echols
Disappointing verdict
The death of Trayvon Martin need never have happened if George Zimmerman had taken advantage of numerous opportunities to identify himself as a member of neighborhood watch. He was in an unmarked car, not wearing any sort of identification or uniform, and therefore an unknown and threatening entity to this boy.
I believe Trayvon did his best to get away from this stranger who was following him, and when he was unsuccessful, he confronted Zimmerman in his own self-defense. This was never brought out in the trial. Also, Zimmerman never expressed any remorse for taking this teenager's life, describing it as God's plan.
I am very disappointed in the outcome.
Irene Fortuna
Mob does not rule
The trial is over. Or is it?
The man, Zimmerman, before he was even brought to trial, was sentenced, convicted and, yes, if he had been caught, hung. Now long months have passed and a jury with a not-guilty plea has let Mr. Zimmerman go. But is he free?
People blinded by prejudice have decided he is guilty. They feel he is guilty, never mind that the jury went through volumes of material and listened to dozens of witnesses and have come to a verdict of not guilty. Yet, the mob would still rule.
Thank God we live in the United States of America where the mob may be heard but does not rule.
Anthony V. LaPenta Jr.
If the facts don't fit, we must acquit
Yes! It was nice to see a jury that didn't sit on their brains like the O.J. and Casey Anthony jurists did.
True, this was not a time to celebrate over the verdict, as both George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, in particular, added to this tragedy.
While the verdict was correct, this case should never have been brought to trial in the first case, but politics took over.
That of course didn't stop Sharpton and Jackson from doing their shtick along with the liberal media making waves.
They should all be ashamed of themselves, and bringing up civil-rights charges against Zimmerman is a farce.
Let's move on.

UPS has over 94,000 delivery vehicles, 282 airplanes (the 8th largest fleet in the world) and over 425,000 employees across the globe. Over the years they have developed one of the most sophisticated hand held devices ever devised. By the end of 2008 they will have over 70,000 of them deployed worldwide. They call it the Delivery Information Acquisition Device, DIAD for short. The latest iteration has 3 different radio types and is the instant entry point for a tracking system that averages over 10 million tracking requests a day.
So how do you put a device that sophisticated in the hands of so many people without bringing the company to a crawl or opening a small university to train everyone? Make the interface dead simple.
Every time I see those DIAD devices in the hands of my UPS delivery person it reminds me of an experience I had with a UPS driver almost 8 years ago. As I watched him click clack away at the large array of buttons on this intimidating notebook sized device with such extraordinary speed and precision I had to ask him "How hard is that thing to use?" What he showed me has stuck with me ever since. On the small monochromatic screen, just above 2 sets of blue up/down arrows were the words "Hit the blue up." — "It's great" he said "totally dumbed down." Now, he did not say "dumbed down" in a negative way. He was clearly proud about his speed and proficiency on this complex piece of electronics that anyone would be overwhelmed by at first (or tenth) glance. The story has stuck in my mind because that phrase, "dumbed down," continues to come up so often over the years.
When we get worried about "dumbing it down" too much it is often our own intellect we are trying to protect.
When I tell this story to clients or prospects the response I often hear is: "No, no… I don't want to dumb it down. Our customers are smarter, more savvy, more…" It got me thinking, when we get worried about dumbing something down, whose intelligence are we worried about insulting? Do you think the UPS drivers think they have dumbed things down for him or her? Or does the extreme simplification make the cumbersome manageable?s When someone visits your web site and there is language that makes each move incredibly clear do you think the visitor feels insulted?
I will be the first to admit, it is a difficult battle. We all want to push the envelope of design and, enjoying/exploring a beautifully designed website is great fun (and a great experience) for many of us. In fact, it should not have to be one or the other. The challenge we all face is to make something so incredibly powerful and complex, like the UPS DIAD, yet make it so extraordinarily accessible that it takes seconds for the user to put that power to use.
Whether it is a multi billion dollar global communication system or making it extraordinarily clear where someone can find something in your catalog, website or store you are not insulting their intelligence, you simply give them ones less thing they have to work through.
Not dumbing it down would have caused the tightest ship in the shipping business to sink just when they were trying to make a huge innovation leap. How many businesses do not embrace new technology because they fear that doing so would bring the company to a grinding halt? If the new way is more painful than the old way then the old way will always be too easy to fall back on.
How much did UPS save in training/support/complaint/re-training costs by dumbing it down? Hundreds of millions at least. How much did making the interface dead simple change the kind of real time information it wanted back from the devices? None.
Whatever it is you are offering, selling or trying to convey, no matter how complex it may be, how do you explain it as easily as Hit the blue up?

Patients & Families
For Health Professionals
An abdominal CAT scan is a painless test that uses a specialized X-ray machine to take pictures of a patient's organs, blood vessels, and lymph nodes.
The doughnut-shaped machine circles the body, taking pictures to provide cross-sections of internal organs from various angles. These pictures are sent to a computer that records the images. It can also put them together to form a three-dimensional (3-D) image. A technician does the CAT scan (also called a CT scan or a computed axial tomography scan).
An abdominal CAT scan can detect signs of inflammation, infection, injury or disease of the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, stomach, intestines, pancreas, and adrenal glands. It is also used to look at blood vessels and lymph nodes in the abdomen. A doctor may order a CAT scan to find the cause of abdominal pain, diagnose an illness, or evaluate the effects of a traumatic injury.
Your child may be asked to remove all clothing and accessories and change into a hospital gown because buttons, zippers, clasps, or jewelry might interfere with the image.
Your child may have to avoid eating and drinking anything for a few hours before the scan to make sure that the stomach is empty. Fasting is required if your child will be sedated or needs to receive a contrast solution, which highlights certain parts of the body so doctors can see more detail in specific areas of the CAT scan.
If your daughter is pregnant, it's important to tell the technician or doctor because there's a small chance that the radiation from the CAT scan may harm the developing baby. But if the CAT scan is necessary, precautions can be taken to protect the baby.
Procedure times vary, from several minutes to 45 minutes. The time depends on the age of the child, whether contrast solution is given, and whether sedation is needed. The actual exposure time to radiation is much less.
Your child will enter a special room and lie down on a narrow table. An abdominal CAT scan is performed with your child lying on his or her back, side, or stomach.
If contrast solution is required, it may be given through an intravenous line (IV) that will be placed in your child's hand or arm. Placing the IV will feel like a quick pinprick, but the solution is painless as it goes into the vein. Otherwise, your child may be given oral contrast, which is a special fluid to drink before the procedure. Some kids don't like the taste, but it can be flavored to make it more appealing.
The technician will position your child, then step behind a wall or into an adjoining room to operate the machine, viewing your child through a window. The technician will speak to your child through an intercom. You'll be able to stay in the CAT scan room until the test begins, then you'll join the technician in the outer room or you might be asked to sit in a waiting room. If you stay with the technician, you'll be asked to wear a lead apron to protect certain parts of your body.
Sedation may be required if your child can't lie still for the scan, which is common among infants and young kids. Sedation medicines are given through an IV line and help to keep a child comfortable during the CAT scan.
When the procedure begins, the table moves through the CAT machine. Older kids will be asked to hold their breath and stay still for a few seconds at a time to prevent the images from being blurred.
Your child won't feel anything as the CAT scan is taken, but may hear whirring and buzzing sounds as the machine works. The room may feel cool due to air conditioning used to maintain the equipment. Some kids may feel uncomfortable lying still for extended periods.
After the scan is complete, your child will be asked to wait a few minutes so the technician can review the quality of the images. If they're blurred, parts of the CAT scan may need to be redone. If your child required sedation, it will take a little while for the medicine to wear off.
The CAT scan images will be looked at by a radiologist (a doctor who is specially trained in reading and interpreting X-ray images). The radiologist will send a report to your child's doctor, who will discuss the results with you and explain what they mean.
Results are usually ready in 1-2 days. If the CAT scan was done on an emergency basis, the results can be made available quickly. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test.
In general, CAT scans are very safe although more radiation is required than in a regular X-ray. Any exposure to radiation poses some risk to the body, but the amount used in an individual CAT scan procedure isn't considered dangerous. It's important to know that radiologists use the minimum amount of radiation required to get the best results.
If your daughter is pregnant, there's a risk of harm to the developing baby, so precautions must be taken.
Contrast solutions are generally safe, with a very low incidence of allergic reactions. They may contain iodine, which might cause problems for kids with an iodine or shellfish allergy, and some other illnesses. Make sure to tell your doctor about any medication, dye, and food allergies that your child may have. Some patients who are at risk for an allergic reaction to the contrast solution may need medications like antihistamines or steroids to minimize the risk of a reaction.
If your child needs sedation, there's a slight chance of slowed breathing due to the medications. If there are any problems with the sedation, the CAT scan staff is prepared to treat them right away.
You can help your child prepare for a CAT scan by explaining the test in simple terms before the procedure. You can describe the room and the equipment that will be used, and reassure your child that you'll be close by. For older kids, be sure to explain the importance of keeping still so the scan can be completed quickly and parts of it don't have to be repeated.
If you have questions about why the abdominal CAT scan is needed, speak with the doctor. You can also talk to the CAT scan technician before the procedure.

•Yes I do create supporting pieces. I have a section for these. I use generic links due to the amount of designs I have.
•My turn around time is 24-48 hours. I do not have set hours. I complete orders and email proofs within this time frame. Don't ask for files to be rushed or finished ASAP. They will be done in the time frame stated. The time varies according to my schedule.
•If after you have read all of this and still have questions, feel free to message me.
I currently accept Paypal, Etsy gift cards, and other major credit cards. I do not accept cash, checks or money orders.
Payment is due before the item can be downloaded, printed, shipped or e-mailed.
REGARDING DIGITAL ITEMS: Proofs will be emailed prior to sending files. I will send a proof through Etsy's "conversations" feature. Proofs are emailed within 24 to 48 hours of purchase, unless there are some unforeseen circumstances such as power outages due to weather or other natural catastrophes.
Invitation Digital files that are not available for instant download, will be e-mailed within 1-3 days of purchase, unless otherwise stated due to custom design work. I will email files to the email address listed on your account unless you let me know otherwise. I will also email you a full resolution file through the "conversations" feature on Etsy. The reason for this is two-fold. 1) Some people find it easier to save JPG files from Etsy and 2) in the case a dispute should arise that you have not received your file or that the file is not full resolution, Etsy will be able to view the file.
Digital files will be emailed to the email provided with your order and on your account. Please check your spam and junk box before making a claim that you didn't receive your files. Most often my emails will end up in the spam or junk folders due to an unrecognizable email address and the attachments. If after two days you have not responded to proofs or convos, I will email your files. I will still make changes, but I need to keep orders moving and waiting two to three weeks to respond to a proof makes it difficult for me to keep up with orders and process items in a timely matter.
I will send a convo letting you know that I emailed your proofs and files. This confirmation will come in a "shipped" message from Etsy.
I will send an RGB JPG and a CMYK PDF, please let me know prior to sending finished files if you need another format. It would also be helpful to know before hand if you need an additional bleed. Otherwise, your file will come with a full bleed on a 5x7.
Regarding digital items: I, as a seller, assume you, the buyer, know how to download files, save to your computer and upload to appropriate printing lab. My files are high (300 DPI) resolution, and in stated size format, per listing, with a full bleed. These files should be treated as you would a photograph.
*** You are responsible for the printing of your files. I supply digital artwork ***
***You are responsible for proofing your files.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Regarding Digital Items: All items are sold "as is", and will be exactly the same as the picture on the Web or as demonstrated graphically. If for some reason, your files are damaged, contact me by convo and I will try to resolve the issue immediately. In the case of digital files, if the file is corrupt in some way, I will replace the file.
Regarding digital artwork: After you have received your proofs and I have supplied you a digital file, I will not refund for reason. I will resend and fix any errors on my part - within reason. However, you are also paying for my time as well as my digital artwork. Once you receive the artwork, there is no way for it to be "returned." I also will not make major changes to any design without further compensation.
I am also not responsible if you do not read the actual listing you purchase. I state in each listing that this is a digital file, and the size of the invite. It is the buyer's responsibility to understand what the buyer is purchasing and to order the correct size and to understand the size and file type you need.
If in the case you order one invite, but want another, I will need to refund you and you will need to purchase the correct invite. I need for all sales to match what is sent for seller protection. What you receive needs to be what you ordered, the only exception is for custom orders.
Bella LuElla does everything possible to ensure a secure, risk-free purchase. In the unlikely event you are unhappy in any way with my service or products, please contact me through the Etsy "Conversations" feature immediately and I will work to resolve the issue or arrange for an exchange or refund as conditions are permit. Please do not leave negative feedback before contacting me.
Bella LuElla reserves the right to cancel orders and refund monies if customer is not compliant with Etsy Policy or Bella LuElla Policy.
REGARDING DIGITAL ITEMS: Bella LuElla digital designs and invitations are not for commercial whatsoever. They are for personal use only. You may not use any Bella LuElla designs for commercial purposes in any way without permission. I am available to design custom pieces for you, but they are not to be resold. Please contact me with any questions you have regarding this.
*** Please Note *** purchasing an invitation does not give you ownership to the art or design. You are entitled to print the invite only. You may not alter these invitations and resale them. I HAVE FILED MANY A CLAIM AGAINST SHOPS I FIND DOING THIS AND HAD THEM REMOVED.
*** Should you need a release form to print my work, please contact me with the place you are printing at and I will supply a release form for printing only.***
I DO NOT sell my invitations blank. I will not supply you with a blank file for you to personalize.
All my files are completely flattened so the art can't be removed and reused.
I WILL NOT supply a layered Photoshop file, an Illustration file or my design/artwork to you in a format that has not been flattened.
***I will make TWO revisions only to text. After I have made three changes and you request more changes, you will need to purchase an additional revisions listing.
***Color or structural changes are an ADDITIONALl fee. All invitations are sold as pictured, color changes require an custom listing and the fee starts at $15, on top of the cost of the initial invitation. Please message me regarding a custom listing and I will let you know if I am available to do a custom design at that time.
***You will need to actually DOWNLOAD your files to get them at full resolution***
You cannot drag over a thumbnail from your email or Etsy message to upload it online. That is not the actual file, that is a thumbnail and it will not print because it is about 9 kilobytes.
You will need to DOWNLOAD the files then UPLOAD the full resolution files to print them. These files are 300 DPI, very high resolution, you should incur no issues printing if you download/upload your files properly.
***PLEASE NOTE - I do not discuss orders over the phone. I will not call you regarding your order. It is actually Etsy policy that we keep all correspondence within Etsy's system. This is the only way I am protected as a seller. We are strongly advised not to call anyone, or have contact regarding orders outside of Etsy. The reason being is that if there is a dispute about what was ordered, promised or discussed, Etsy can see all the "Conversations" so they know how to handle a dispute. I have to have written documentation regarding all orders. I can be reached through Etsy's "conversations" feature**** I am also available at my email account.
By making a purchase you are in agreement with these policies and have been made aware of my terms and conditions and are in full agreement.
These are digital invitations, so the price that is listed is for 1 digital file. I create the file and send it to you, and then you print as many as you need.
I do not create proofs before a purchase. You are paying for my time as well as my design.
After a proof is created, I will not refund because again, you are paying for my time as well as my designs. This is part of my policy. If you have any questions, I would advise you to read my policies before purchasing to have a full understanding.
I send a JPG and PDF. The JPG is in RGB mode, the PDF is in CMYK mode. Both files are 300 DPI. I design typically with a full bleed and .125" extra for trimming. No text within that area, but there will be art.

All Customer Reviews
from Holts Summit - MO
I could write a little book about the Always Adored Casket Spray. It brought serenity as well as beauty to the wake and funeral for my Mom who ascended at age 95 in September 2019. She loved roses and we often walked in rose gardens together since my childhood, and planted roses in our yards. Two of her favorite sayings were "Take time to smell the roses" and "Give me flowers while I am alive". She received many. Yet, in a real and spiritual way, I felt her sweet soul smiling for this beautiful and loving posthumous tribute, and its symbolism, an amazing and gorgeous blanket of cream and pink roses upon the casket holding her earthly body. Always Adored is the most beautiful sympathy arrangement. I saved some of the roses to preserve. Several days after the burial, one of the roses glowed with a brilliant aura in her kitchen where we had spent so much time together. For reasons earthly and ethereal, I will always cherish this perfect choice. Thank you!

There's a famous quote (often attributed to Joan Didion), which says, "I don't like writing, but I like having written." I essentially feel the same way about running. I wouldn't call myself a runner as such, but I do find myself lacing up my running shoes three to four times per week. And when I do, my usual companion is my trusty iPhone and the RunKeeper app.
On New Year's Eve 2012, RunKeeper released version 3—a nice upgrade from the previous version. I've been using RunKeeper since May of last year, and I was curious to take it for a spin.
So what's different from the last time Ars took a look at it in April 2012, or even back in 2009? The first thing is the interface—the company calls it a "cleaner design"—which boasts softer colors and a nice navbar on the bottom of the home screen. The app now has the ability to set goals (weight loss, longest distance), implement a training program (like for a marathon), and monitor how your friends who use the app are doing.
As a pretty casual runner, I haven't yet dug into the "goal" or "training" options, but it's nice to know they exist. I'm thinking of working toward a half-marathon (or maybe a full?), and poking through these options, I can see that it would be very easy to get prepped to do so. To date, my longest run ever has been just short of 11 miles.
One of the new features I like the most is the leaderboard, which shows where I rank among my friends— I've never been as dedicated to running as other people I know. Whether they know it or not, it's nice (and maddening!) to know that my friends are more active than me.
"Five minutes. Distance: zero point seven zero miles."
RunKeeper still has a feature (on by default) that gives audio cues every five minutes, letting you know how far you've run and what your pace is. The female voice will say in a flat monotone, "Five minutes. Distance: zero point seven zero miles. Average pace: seven minutes, five seconds." (Of course, I can't really maintain that pace the whole way though.)
What I like most about the RunKeeper app is that the free version provides a whole slew of options for even a casual runner like me—and it sits patiently there, taunting me with limit-pushing regimens and the fact that my brother, Alex Farivar, runs about twice as often as me.
The only issue I've had with RunKeeper under the new version is that my GPS signal was not being read properly. This happened twice in a single week leading up to this article. As a result, my usual run around Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland turned into a magical journey. Amazingly, RunKeeper thought that I ran across the lake at various points, and somehow I had an average pace of 02:34 per mile—a pace I kept for about 12 miles. (Keep in mind, the men's world record for a single mile is 03:43.)
When I told RunKeeper about this, they gave me some concrete tips about making sure the satellite could see me.
"Sorry to hear that you are having some GPS issues," Jim Redding, community support specialist at RunKeeper, wrote in an e-mail to Ars. "Some other users have reported this issue intermittently. Some of their immediate solutions have been to 1) clear your GPS cache on your phone, 2) power off the phone and restart the phone or 3) delete the app and reinstall the RunKeeper app. If you do this, however, make sure to sync your activities to the website before you delete the app. If you do not sync to the website, you will lose your data."
I've recently tried making sure that I get a "Good GPS" signal when I start, and my experience has been better so far.
Thankfully, RunKeeper is still free (the "Elite" version will run you $20 per year, which adds on extra features including the ability to "live track" your run—I've been happy with the free version for now.) So now you have no excuse. Go grab your running shoes!

Diamond Dirt: Beckley Memorial proposal
Every time I go to Riverside Cemetery to pay my respects to Jake Beckley, and to make sure everything is in tip-top shape at his family plot, I often leave in amazement.
It's not because I've just visited the grave site of a baseball hall of famer, it's because six feet below my shoes Jake Beckley rests in peace. Buried six feet into the earth's crust is a man who grew up on Hannibal's South Side and never forgot where he came from.
Put all that into perspective and a cemetery — no matter who you're visiting — is a pretty special place.
Next to his grave site and a pending revamped memorial along Historic Main Street in downtown Hannibal, the only thing acknowleding our resident hall of famer is the right field line at Clemens Field. The Hannibal Cavemen constructed the distance to the outfield wall from home plate to come out at 308 feet, honoring the legendary first baseman's .308 career batting average.
Other than that, there's nothing.
Mark Twain and Molly Brown, they left town and are buried elsewhere — but their Hannibal houses are on display for tourists. William Henry Hatch is buried in Riverside Cemetery along with Beckley, and also has a statue in Central Park. Beckley has nothing in comparison. The only way anyone would know Hannibal is the home of a baseball hall of famer is by looking under the "Famous Hannibal Residents" header on Wikipedia. It's quite sad if you ask me.
Beckley's house was torn down to build the new Stowell Elementary School; he has no statue; he has no museum. Disappointing for a town so infamous for preserving history.
But this wrong can be made right, and that's where the pending revamped memorial comes into play.
When people make their way down Main Street, it should be clear a famous baseball player is from this city, along with a world-famous author and notable ship survivor. I propose the rendition accompanying this article today be considered in some form to honor one of our local legends. The proposal is an adaptation of a memorial garden dedicated to Roger Maris in Fargo, N.D. The same memorial could and should be done here for Beckley. It would include a picture of Beckley, a display of statistics and baseball achievements, and a local map indicating Beckley sites around town.
The new memorial will be at the edge of Planter's Barn Theater parking lot, where the original monument was. And to go along with it, a beautification plan, just like in the pictured proposal, is in order. Of course, since there are three landscaping areas along the site, a revamped memorial could be designed to include the three landscape areas — just a thought.
The old memorial needs to live on too, just in another location.
Like I've said before, Stowell Elementary is the prime spot.
The old memorial should be placed at the site, for all to see, with a marker indicating this was the site where Beckley's house stood. I'm sure the school district wouldn't mind.
Hannibal Parks and Recreation is paying for the revamped memorial and after talking to Andy Dorian about this for more than a year, I know they're going to make sure everything turns out just right, no matter what plan they decide on. Since progress all depends on the sidewalk project moving on from the memorial site, it's just a matter of waiting. Think of it as baseball itself, we must wait for the pleasant days of spring so progress can be made.

Linux gamers are used to being an afterthought when it comes to most major game releases, but Valve seems set to change that soon. The company announced a pending beta test for a long-awaited Linux version of its popular Steam distribution service. Valve is seeking to fill 1,000 spots for the closed beta through a Web survey for existing Steam users, asking them to detail their gaming system and experience with Linux.
The Steam for Linux build is being targeted at the Ubuntu 12.04 distribution, as Valve announced back in July. The initiative will include 2009's Left 4 Dead 2 as the first game ported to the system. Developer Croteam also let slip on its Facebook page that its Serious Sam 3 would be available during the Linux beta, alongside Valve games like Portal and Team Fortress 2. Further announcements regarding Steam on Linux are expected during the Ubuntu Develop Summit this week.
Valve's support for the free operating system has come a long way since 2010, when the company said it had no plans to port the service to Linux. In August, Valve boasted the Linux port of Left 4 Dead 2 actually outperformed the Windows version, reaching 315 frames per second on a high-end testing rig.
Aside from any performance improvements, Valve head Gabe Newell said he sees the Linux version of Steam as a hedge against the coming of Windows 8. Newell notably called the OS a "catastrophe" for the PC gaming space. On the other end of the spectrum, GNU founder Richard Stallman said the introduction of a closed-source system like Steam into the open-source world of Linux is "unethical." Even if those two aren't completely happy with the state of things, Linux gamers should be glad to get some more access to top-tier games on their platform.
