Minimum Order Quantities Explanation and FAQs
One of the ways
eFowl.com makes buying poultry easy
is by reducing minimum order quantities to the lowest possible levels. Our minimum order quantities are not to increase the order cost to a certain level, but rather to ensure that we can safely ship an order to you, and offer a comprehensive
Live Arrival Guarantee
Our minimum order quantities are seasonal. Generally, they will go down during the warmer months.

Minimum Order FAQs
Our minimum order quantities are for safe shipping.
Can't I just order 5 chicks?
Unfortunately not. We have minimum order quantities which prevent us from shipping just 5 chicks.
Can I pay for the 20 chicks but you just ship me a smaller amount?
Unfortunately not. We need to ship the birds with enough warmth to arrive safely. This is achieved by having at least the minimum number of birds packed in the specialized poultry boxes.
Why do you have Minimum Order Quantities?
We have minimum order quantities to ensure we can safely ship your order. The key concern when shipping poultry is temperature. Our minimum order quantities are seasonal, and ensure that the birds have enough collective warmth to safely arrive at their destination. Minimum Order Quantities allow us to comprehensively guarantee live arrival.
What is a Breed Specific Minimum and why do you have it?
A breed specific minimum is the minimum amount of a certain breed which we can send. For example, we have a breed specific minimum of 5
Silver Laced Wyandottes
. We cannot ship fewer than 5
Silver Laced Wyandottes
in an order. We have breed specific minimums to ensure that we can fill your order in a timely fashion. If we allowed customers to order 1 chick of 20 different breeds, the order would need to be scheduled very far in advance to ensure we have all of your chicks available on a certain day, and the potential delays would be unacceptable.
I see you have a Breed Specific Minimum of 5 on most chicken breeds. May I mix males and females of that breed to meet the minimum?
Currently, you cannot mix gender options to meet that minimum of 5 chicks per breed. However, if you would just like to order just 1 male, or less than 5 straight run chicks, you can do that. Simply add atleast 5 females to your shopping cart first. Next, go back to the breed's product page and add just 1 male.
I just need one male chicken, but you have a Breed Specific Minimum of 5. Can I order several females and then just get 1 male, or do I have to get 5 males?
As long as you have atleast 5 total chicks of a certain breed in your shopping cart, you can get just 1 male. Simply add the 5 females to your shopping care first, and then our system will allow you to add in however many males you would like (even just 1).
Can I order less than 5 females? For example, can I get 3 females, and 2 males of a breed?
Unfortunately not. If you want to order females of a specific breed, we need at least 5 on the order. We cannot mix males and females to meet the Breed Specific Minimum.
How do I add just 1 male chick to my shopping cart?
add at least 5 female (or straight run) chicks
to your shopping cart.
After adding these 5 chicks, you will go to your Shopping Cart overview page. Here,
click back on your browser
to return to the Breed Page you were just at. Alternatively, you can click the name of the chicken breed you just added within the shopping cart itself to return to the Breed Page.
With at least 5 chicks of the desired breed in your shopping cart,
you are now free to add less than 5 males (or straight run) chicks
to your shopping cart. Simply change the Quantity box to 1, select the male Chicken Gender, and add the birds to your shopping cart.
Why do you have Minimum or Small Order Charges?
Occasionally, we are able to safely ship a smaller order utilizing special shipping methods. For example, we can ship as few as two Pekin ducklings using a special poultry box lined with foam, additional insulation, as well as a time released heating pad. The additional packing materials, as well as the additional handling cost of a small order, are figured into these extra charges.
Can you ship me older birds to get around the Minimum Order Quantities?
Unfortunately not. The only breeds we offer to ship beyond the hatching stage are the
Rare Birds (such as Wood Ducks, Lady Amherst Pheasant, etc.)
. Shipping juvenile or adult birds is much more costly, as we need to use much more specialized boxing and packaging materials, as well as send the birds via Express Mail (as opposed to the standard Priority Mail for chicks, ducklings, poults, etc.).
Can you please make an exception for my school project, organic farm, Hollywood movie, young child, elderly parent, 4-H club, top-rated golf course, church group, etc.?
Unfortunately not. Our minimums are for safe shipping. We cannot make exceptions. We can combine bird types to meet minimums in some occasions though. Please
Contact Us
if you are interested in mixing and matching various bird types towards a minimum order.
I only need a few of a certain type of bird. Do I really need to buy 20 of those chicks?
No, you do not need to order an excessive amount of the bird you need, but you do need an order which meets our total minimum requirement. For example, if you just wanted 5
Black Breasted Red Cubalayas Chickens
, you could order those chicks and then meet the rest of the minimum order requirement with
Assorted Chicks
. This will give you a cost effective way to just order the birds you want.
I only need a few birds. What should I do with the extras?
Individuals like you raise birds all over the country. It is not difficult to sell or give away excess birds. In most areas, posting an ad for free chicks or ducklings on Craigslist.org will yield several potential adopters in a matter of hours. Also, many customers will split orders with order nearby customers, allowing them to just receive and pay for the chicks they want. For more info, check out this blog post on
getting rid of unwanted birds

Your Heart Needs Blood
Your heart is the central hub of your body. Without it, nothing else can function. An organ that vital to your well-being can't stop working. But what if it does?
Coronary Arteries and Blood Supply
Like every other organ in your body, your heart needs to be supplied with blood and the life-sustaining oxygen in it. But the blood flowing through its chambers doesn't nourish the heart itself. Your heart gets its blood supply from the coronary arteries, so called because they wrap around the heart like a crown. ("Coronary" is the Latin word for crown.) Two main coronary arteries branch out of the aorta, the left main coronary artery and the right coronary artery. These large coronary arteries are about the width of a drinking straw and gradually taper as they descend on your heart. The left main coronary artery divides into two branches called the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery. The right coronary artery branches into the posterior descending artery and the marginal artery. These arteries branch into smaller and smaller arteries, some of which penetrate inside your heart. The arteries eventually branch into capillaries, some so fine that it would take ten of them lying side by side to form the thickness of a human hair. Your capillaries deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste from your heart's cells.
But the coronary arteries can become clogged, or even completely blocked, with a hard, fatty substance called plaque. This disease is termed atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, and its results can be disastrous.

Unsightly blood vessels on your face or body may be due to sun damage, smoking, heredity, hormones or steroid therapy. Up until now, removal has involved Diathermy, which is painful, lengthy and may leave you with scarring. Injecting with saline solution was also popular. The new Gemini Laser effectively and safely removes unwanted blood vessels on the face, neck and body. It also removes congenital blemishes such as Portwine Stain and Strawberry Haemangioma and acquired blemishes such as Facial Telangiectasia (broken capillaries), Poikiloderma (small blood vessels on the neck), Rosacea, Campbell-de-Morgan spots, Spider Naevi and Red Scars. Red nose and cheeks can also be treated with the Gemini Laser. See Face, Neck & Hands for more information.
Superficial veins on the legs are often referred to as 'varicose veins' or 'spider veins'. Blood vessels on the legs are not as successfully treated with laser therapy. However they do respond very well to a procedure called Sclerotherapy , which involves injecting a diluted solution of Aethoxysclerol into the small veins using a very fine needle. The solution irritates the vessel wall and causes the vein to shut down, thus making it appear less obvious or disappear completely. See Sclerotherapy for more information

SNL Recap: Eli Manning Hosts, Rihanna Performs
Trying out a new experience away from the rough and tough gridiron action in which he excels, Eli Manning talked about his recent Super Bowl championship victory to start off his hosting efforts on yesterday's (May 5) episode of "Saturday Night Live".
The 31-year-old New York Giants QB took the Studio 8H stage while explaining that he's a "real" New Yorker, proceeding to take questions about the Big Apple from audience members - of which he offered up some quite interesting answers.
During the course of the show, a favorite clip was "Little Brothers" - which was a faux ad for Eli's "Little Brothers" program that saw the sports star aiding tortured younger siblings, as he warned one of the elder children, "I'm your worst f***ing nightmare."
Another highlight of the well-received installment of "SNL" included a tribute to the late Adam Yauch, as the program showed a clip from the Beastie Boys' appearance on the show in which they performed their hit song "Sure Shot".
Joining Eli on last night's "Saturday Night Live" was musical guest Rihanna, who treated viewers to renditions of "Talk That Talk" and "Where Have You Been" during the course of the episode.
Enjoy the pictures of Rihanna headed to perform on "Saturday Night Live" (May 5).

posix_memalign rather than just malloc, anyway. If it's necessary to
use posix_memalign on Linux, why is it OK to use malloc on other

Also this #ifdef is quite ugly.

Luminato: McGarrigle tribute at Massey Hall will be 'fun,' family says
"Let's do the picture first before we talk," says Rufus Wainwright, putting on a jacket over his jeans and t-shirt.
Arcangelo, the 2-year-old son of his sister, Martha Wainwright, is standing close to his mom while she gets ready for her close-up, looking into a big dressing-room mirror backstage at Massey Hall.
It's less than one hour before the start of Friday night's sold-out tribute concert — a major Luminato event — to the late Kate McGarrigle, with a big cast headlined for Kate's celebrated children, Rufus and Martha, and Kate's sister and fellow singer-songwriter, Anna McGarrigle.
Arcangelo points at the camera with a look of delight on his face.
"He just loves this stuff," says Martha, meaning bright lights and cameras.
"I wonder where he gets that from," quips Rufus. Then he asks: "Do you like Anna?"
Arcangelo tentatively shakes his head.
"Do you like Rufus?" asks Rufus.
Arcangelo shakes his head again.
Nevertheless, it's clear from this scene that "Love Over and Over" is not just the title of the concert but the theme that binds this extraordinary family, a group in which when ever you aren't sure how to cope or what to do next, everyone starts singing.
This is the third and final tribute concert to Kate the family have done since the phenomenal singer-songwriter died of a rare cancer in early 2010. It may not be as emotional as the one they did in London shortly after her death.
"It's going to be fun because we are doing some great songs that didn't make it into either of the first two concerts," Rufus says.
"London was just insane," says Martha. "New York was more joyous, but with a touch of sadness."
The concerts have three purposes. One is to help make more people aware of Kate's great legacy as a songwriter. The second is to raise money for the Kate McGarrigle Sarcoma Fund — for research into the rare form of cancer that killed her. The third is to help other members cope with losing her.
"Singing is just what we do in this family," says Rufus. "It's how we operate."
One of the songs on the bill, "I Just Want to Make It Last," is the one Kate wrote for her own 60th birthday, just a few years before she died.
It has joyous memories and a touch of melancholy, because, as Rufus says, "I think she already had an inkling something wasn't quite right about her health."
"Jacques et Gilles," another song featured at Massey Hall, was written as part of a hugely ambitious musical Kate started writing in the 1990s, and has never quite finished.
It's about Jack Kerouac, a favourite author, his Quebec roots and his celebrated trip across the U.S.A. — the subject of his most popular book, On the Road.
According to Anna McGarrigle, one reason Kate wrote the musical was that she knew Jack lived for a long time with his mother after his brother died. And at the time, after her marriage ended and Martha had gone away to school, Kate lived with her mother, Gabby.
"I think she was equating her situation with Jack's," says Anna. "It was a project very close to her heart."
And one day, her family would like to complete the musical and see it produced.

I have been playing around with the People App that links to the Map App on the Metro tiles so that if you have an address in People it can automatically take you to the Map to show you either on in map view or aerial view where the person lives. What I haven't been able to do is to view the location in Street View (as you can in Google Maps". Does anyone know if this feature is available? I have a hunch that they are Bing Maps and that Street View does not exist but I would like a second opinion.

The Map app is Bing Maps. To get street view you need G Maps app. Go to start page, search, type G Maps in the search box and select the store app lower down. That should get you to the G Maps installation.

OK and if I do that can I make the People app automatically link to that instead of using Bing maps?

Keeping Uploaded Lots & Sims Free of Custom Content

Keeping Uploaded Lots & Sims Free of Custom Content
This is the summation of a thread posted on the old forum.
User created custom content installed from Sims3Pack files will attach itself to any lot or Sim on which that CC is used. This is not a design flaw on EA's part, it is simply the way the game is designed to work. When Sims3Pack files are installed into the game, a copy of the content is stored in the DCBackup directory in the My Documents area of the game. As long as there's a copy in the DCBackup directory it WILL attach itself to a lot or Sim that is packaged into Sims3Pack format IF it was used on the lot or Sim. If you want to make sure you don't inadvertently share custom content, one easy method is to delete all the files within the DCBackup directory every time something has been installed into your game through the launcher. The content will still be in your game but it won't be packaged with lots or Sims. You can also double-check the Sims3Pack files using Delphy's Sims3Pack Cleaner Tool. A picture tutorial for using the tool can be found on GlitzyAngel's Blog. Another super easy way to avoid inadvertently packaging custom content with a Sim or lot is to archive the lot or Sim file without packaging them into Sims3Pack files. See Custom Sims Downloaded in .sim Format and Custom Lots Downloaded in .package Format. |

Samos Attractions
Area of island: 476 sq. km/184 sq. miChief town: SámosAirfield 5 km/3 mi southwest of Sámos. Flights from Athens twice daily; also to Chios, Lésbos and Mykonos.
Samos Town (Khora), Greece
Since 1832 the island's of Sámos' capital has been the little town of Sámos, which was founded in that year. It lies in a semicircle round the sheltered inner harbor of Vathy, climbing picturesquely up the hill with its olive groves to the upper town of Apáno Vathy. It has an attractive square and picturesque little streets and alleys.
Sámos Archaeological Museum
The Sámos Museum, housed in the former residence of the Prince of Sámos and a new building opposite it financed by the Volkswagen Foundation and opened in 1987, displays material recovered in the German excavations of the Heraion from 1910 onwards.The main hall of the museum had to be specially enlarged to accommodate the most sensational find made in the Heraion, the colossal marble figure, 4.8m/15.5ft high, of an Archaic kouros (C. 580 - 570 B.C.), possibly a votive statue from the Sacred Way. The torso was found in 1980 and the head (70cm/27.5 inches high) in 1984 near the Heraion; the knee had been found 70 years earlier, in 1912. Also displayed in the hall is an Archaic over-lifesize female figure (C. 570 B.C.) excavated in 1984, a counterpart to the famous Hera of Cheramyes, found in the Heraion in 1879, which is now one of the treasures of the Louvre.In the room to the left are the base and three of the original six figures in a group by Geneleos, a sculptor of the Archaic period (C. 560 B.C.). The room to the right contains Hellenistic and Roman sculpture. On the upper floor is prehistoric material (pottery, ivories, bronzes).
Pythagorion, Greece
The friendly little port of Pythagórion or Tigáni, 11km/7mi southwest of Sámos town on the south coast of the island, occupies the site of the ancient city of Samos. There are remains of town walls (fourth century B.C.) and the foundations of a breakwater. On the acropolis hill, near the cemetery, are the church of the Transfiguration (Metamórfosis) and a castle built by Lykourgos Logothetis (1822-24). Close by is the site of a Hellenistic villa, on which a Christian basilica was built in the fifth century. A small museum contains Archaic and Hellenistic funerary stelae, portraits of Roman Emperors and a seated figure of Aiakos, father of Polykrates. No structures belonging to the ancient acropolis have been found.In the eastern part of the site of the ancient city is the monastery of the Panayía Spilianí, below which, reached on a signposted path, is a depression marking the site of a theater.
Pythagorion Archeological Collection
The Pythagorion Archeological Collection includes finds from ancient Sámos and the Heraion.
Aqueduct of Eupalinos
West of Pythagórion, on the island of Sámos, is the entrance to an underground aqueduct, 1km/.75mi long, constructed by Eupalinos in the sixth century B.C. Some 1.75m/5ft 9in high and wide, it has been made passable for visitors. About 425m/465yd from the entrance can be seen the point where the two shafts, one driven from each end, met one another, making an almost perfect joint.
Héraion, the sanctuary of Hera, is said to have been built were a wooden image of Hera was found in a willow tree.
Highlights: |
Mytilinioi Palaeontological Museum
The well-known Mytilinioi Palaeontological Museum houses remnants of animals which lived on this island millions of years ago.
Circuit of Island
The scenery along the north coast of Samos is particularly attractive with narrow valleys and terraced slopes. The road from Sámos town along the north coast, which is mostly fringed by cliffs, comes in 10.5km/ 6.5mi to the little port of Kokkári. About half-way there, near a chapel of Ayía Paraskeví on the right of the road, is a modest Early Christian baptistery. Beyond Avlákia (20km/12.5mi) a road goes off on the left to Vourliótes (3km/2mi), from which it is 2km/1.25mi to the Vrontianí monastery (founded 1566), on the northern slopes of Mt Ampelos.The coast road continues to Áyios Konstantínos (26km/16mi) and Karlovási (32km/20mi), a port of call for the regular boats. The remote west coast is picturesque but can only be reached on foot by means of steep and tortuous paths.From here, there is an attractive return route to Sámos through the beautiful hilly country in the interior of the island, passing through Pyrgos, Koumaradéi and Khóra.There are a number of other monasteries on the island, including Zoodókhos Piyí (founded 1756; extensive views), 8km/5mi east of Sámos, Profítis Ilías (founded 1625), 4km/2.5mi south of Karlovási, and Stavrós (founded 1586), 3km/2mi east of Khóra.
Karlovasi, Greece
Karlovasi is filled by trees, springs and Neo-Classical houses coexisting with the modern elements of this strange city consisting of three neighborhoods.On a hill nearby is the Monastery of the Transformation of the Savior, built in the 11th century.There are also pebble-covered beaches nearby.
Vronta Monastery, Vourliotes, Greece
Vourliotes is a mountain village with picturesque roads and characteristic architecture.The Vronta Monastery (Panayía Vrontainí) lies three km from the village. This is one of the most interesting monasteries on the island, with a marvelous wood-carved temple and an icon of the Madonna decorated with silver.

Ruth Institute Blog » How Birth Control Affects A Woman's Memory
A crucial discovery was made when researchers decided to test the effects of contraceptives on memory. Sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone which are linked to left brain cognition are suppressed to prevent pregnancy.
In the study, women using birth control for as little as one month showed difficulties recalling important details in a test. Is it possible that many women on the pill eventually seek Ritalin due to their altered concentration and memory?
Women who use contraceptives like birth control pills experience memory changes, according to new UC Irvine research. Their ability to remember and retain details is dramatically reduced.
"What's most exciting about this study is that it shows the use of hormonal contraception alters memory," UCI graduate researcher Shawn Nielsen said. "There are only a handful of studies examining the cognitive effects of the pill, and more than 100 million women use it worldwide."
The change makes sense, said Nielsen, who works with neurobiologist Larry Cahill, because contraceptives suppress sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone to prevent pregnancy. those hormones were previously linked to women's strong "left brain" memory by Cahill's research group.
"This new finding may be surprising to some, but it's a natural outgrowth of the research we've been doing on sex differences for 10 years," Cahill said.
A neurobiologist not involved in the latest work agreed it was a logical and intriguing next step in the examination of memory differences between the sexes. like any research, she added, it would be important to validate it further.
"Larry Cahill is already well known for his phenomenal research linking sex to memory," said Pauline Maki, professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who specializes in memory and brain functioning. "The fact that women on oral contraceptives remembered different elements of a story tells us that estrogen has an influence on how women remember emotional events."
In the study, groups of women either on the contraceptive or experiencing natural hormonal cycles were shown photographs of a mother, her son, and a car accident. the audio narrative differed; some in each group were told the car had hit a curb, while others were told the car had hit the boy and critically injured him.
One week later, all were given surprise tests about what they recalled. Women using hormonal contraceptives for as little as one month barely remembered any details of the event such as a fire hydrant next to the car.

"Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee." (Job 42:1-2)
This was Job's testimony at the end of his sufferings, as God revealed Himself to him, and Job acknowledged both the omnipotence and omniscience of his maker.
The omnipotence of God is a basic doctrine of Christianity, as well as of monotheism in general, yet multitudes of people who give mental assent to this doctrine live out their lives as though God either has died, or has become impotent, or has wandered away, leaving man alone as the captain of his fate. Therefore, it is well for us occasionally to remember again some of the great biblical affirmations of His omnipotence.
His very name is "God Almighty" (Genesis 35:11). "Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee" (Jeremiah 32:17). Furthermore, God required neither time nor process to create, make, and complete the infinite cosmos in all its complexity: "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. . . . For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast" (Psalm 33:6, 9). "He is strong in power; not one faileth" (Isaiah 40:26).
In light of this truth, all the schemes of man are trivial. "Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance" (Isaiah 40:15). Evolutionary humanism which seeks to exalt time and chance as the cause of the universe, and man and his systems as its goal and guide, is thus the utmost foolishness!
Because He is omnipotent, His Word is trustworthy, and neither "height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). HMM

Police: Thief stole $3,000 in personal care products from Kmart
JANESVILLE Store clerks believe a thief stole thousands of dollars worth of hair replacement medication and other personal care products from Janesville Kmart, police reported.
According to a Janesville Police Department report:
A Hispanic male came into the Kmart store at 2233 Humes Road at about 1:51 p.m. Monday and took an undisclosed amount of the hair replacement therapy product Rogaine. He also took tooth-whitening strips, disposable razor heads and other items.
The report listed the total value of items stolen at $3,000.
The man might have been driving a silver pickup truck, according to the report.
The store managers did not initially report the items as stolen because at the time, they were unaware of the scope of the theft, police said.
The report did not mention whether the thief was balding or bearded or had discolored teeth.

Formatting your MS
So, what's the correct format? (I'm using Microsoft Word and I'm reading on a Kindle; please let everyone know if there are different standards for different programs.)
Personally, I prefer Times New Roman 12 pt font, but you can use something equivalent (Arial or Courier)--but don't use Harry Potter font or something equally weird. It's about the words, not how clever you are with ClipArt (please don't add ClipArt).
Make sure you have one inch margins all around (this is a throw back from my English Lit days and I have no idea if the margins actually make a difference).
Next, press Select+A on your keyboard (or go up to the Edit drop down menu and choose Select All), this should highlight your entire document. Right click somewhere and go to Paragraph. Under the Indents and Spacing Tab, go to Indentation. Set Left and Right at 0". Set Special for First Line (this will make your paragraphs automatically indent), By .5". Don't ever use the TAB key; this will not show up on an e-reader.
Not done yet. Now go to the next section, still fixing Paragraph, labeled Spacing. Before and After should be 0pt, and Line Spacing should be Double (unless you've been told to use something else). This will make your paragraphs evenly spaced. Don't take for granted that your entire ms is properly spaced already, there are always mistakes.
For new chapters, you can press Enter a few times or, to get the new chapter on a new page, press Ctrl+Enter. This will put your chapter on a new page and show up nicely on an e-reader (if you press Enter too many times then it might show up on the e-reader as a blank page before we get to the new chapter--profoundly annoying for some reason). Also, don't put your chapter titles in fancy fonts. It doesn't even need to be in a bigger font.
Now your ms should be in the correct format. If you have an e-reader handy, or if you can borrow one from a friend, send the doc to yourself and scroll through the pages.
Viola! You've just eliminated a step from the agent's revising process, made your ms look a lot neater, and it looks like a real book on an e-reader!
Update 4/20/11: Reader @Kris informs us that you can use Find and Replace (Ctrl+f) to delete all your tabs by using ^t in MS Word. Thank you Kris for the information! Hopefully that will cut down on the time it takes to reformat your documents.
Update 4/29/11: For new chapters use Ctrl+Enter. I originally said use shift+enter; that does nothing. Thanks Kris (different Kris than above--I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, are all Kris's extremely smart?) for pointing this out! Also to @Bonita's question, no, your chapter titles don't need to be centered. I have no preference on this. Do it or not, just don't spend a whole lot of time on it.
Update 3/23/12: Cassandra Marshall has a great checklist for formatting that I stumbled across, you can find it here. Also, if my info becomes obsolete, what with e-readers updating faster than I can type, please do update us masses!
Skim through the comments, several people have been extremely helpful on this topic!
Happy writing!

I believe "First Line" and "Hanging" are two separate features.
Also, just want to point out there is a discrepancy among Word versions for the default page margins. In MS Word 2007 they are 1", in Word 2003, they are 1.25". - April 18, 2011 at 8:50 AM

@Clutzattack, thanks for catching my error! I fixed it so I won't confuse anyone anymore. For your other advice, I think 2003 is 1", I've always used 2003 not 2007. I'll look into this, thank you. But word to the wise to everyone, guess and check! Trial and Error!

This is awesome. The only thing I would add for those still doing it: take out the two spaces between sentences. Apparently, everyone just does one space these days (I might have been using Writing in Style from 1997). This can easily be tackled with the Find/Replace edit features.
Also, sorry that my first comment got deleted. I am not sure how I did that. Perhaps you can do your next post about comment posting:) - April 18, 2011 at 12:04 PM

Thank you! But one other question - does it make any difference whether the file is ".doc" or ".docx"?
- April 18, 2011 at 9:38 PM
- Kris said...
Bethany, it does make a difference - use the .doc one, it's more universally accepted.
And for anyone looking for an easy way to eliminate the tabs after applying the auto indent function, type in ^t in the find and replace field, that represents tab in word.
Ever gotten an ebook that had full line spaces instead of tabs between paragraphs? that's a result of the tabs interacting with the conversion software too.
(My book design guy at Deeply Dapper patiently explained all of this to me a few days ago while he was fixing my book for release... I'd never known any of it!)

I did not know about Shift+Enter. Can't wait to use this. A far as the tab button, is there a quick fix to undo all the tabs I've used?
- April 19, 2011 at 11:02 PM
- Vickie Motter said...
@Anita to quickly delete all your tabs, follow @Kris's advice by going to Search and Replace (Ctrl+f) and use ^t for the tabs. Let me know if this works. I didn't know about this either and am curious to know how well it works!
- April 20, 2011 at 7:46 AM
- Kris said...
If you use Open Office, it's a bit trickier, but not much, you bring up the find box (Ctrl-F) and type in \t then you have to select the "More options" box and check "regular Expressions" this will allow you to easily find and replace all of your tabs there!
You can also use that to find carriage returns by finding $ and empty carriage returns (A line with no text in it) with ^$
Hope those help! - April 20, 2011 at 7:39 PM
- Bonita Herold said...
Thanks for the info. I don't think anyone's asked this question yet. Should the chapter headings be centered?
- April 26, 2011 at 7:49 AM
- Sarah Laurenson said...
If you select all and make formatting changes - like double spacing and first line by 0.5" - then it will also change your first page contact info as well as title and chapter headings. The title and chapter headings may wind up centered plus indented by 0.5"
I do find it easier though to do the select all and then go back and fix the formatting on the chapter headings individually.
Another thing to search for is multiple spacings. I've noticed sometimes that people will put 5 spaces instead of a tab for the first line.
While newer versions of Word may have 1.25" margins, you can update the default to 1".
From Word Help:
On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab.
Under Margins, select the options you want.
To change the default margins, click Default after you select new margin settings. The new default settings are saved in the template on which the document is based. Each new document based on that template automatically uses the new margin settings. - April 26, 2011 at 10:37 AM

Well, I wasn't smart enough to set tabs. I've been hitting the space bar on the computer five times for every new paragraph. I'm totally cringing in embarrassment. :)
Now when I select all and do the Format, Paragraph, Special, First Line etc., it moves my margin over too far. I'm sure it's because I had already done the space bar thingey. Anybody have a fix? - May 13, 2011 at 11:17 AM
- alwhitehorne said...
Shannon, it does that until you take out the tabs or spaces that you'd inserted prior to setting the first line margin. I would use find and replace, but it sounds like it might get dicey and complicated... Best of luck!

Thanks so much for this! I've been trying to tell editing clients about not using the tab key and here's an authority laying down the law. Also, how do you feel about 1) Moving the first line of the first paragraph flush with the left margin? 2) Two spaces after a period? 3) Underlining vs. italics vs ALL CAPS for book titles?

I've been playing with this today, because I'm finally querying, and after setting Special for First Line to .5, and then emailing my .doc MS to my firstname.lastname@example.com account for conversion, the beginnings of paragraphs are not indented when I read the .azw file on my iPhone Kindle app. I can't check it on my actual Kindle until I get home, but I will try to come back with an update once I do.
Thanks again! - March 8, 2012 at 11:33 AM

So.... Hypothetically, if we used tabs instead of formatting for paragraph indents and sent you manuscript samples, would we be better off fixing it and re-submitting, or would you rather not have your in-box cluttered with multiple manuscripts?
Just hypothetically of course. I'm asking for a friend (yeah that's it, she'll believe that).

As a professional therapist, there is a dynamic I run across a lot in relationships. This dynamic is an intimacy killer because it stops open and honest communication and puts one of the people in a "one-up" position. This means that, by default, the other person is in a "one-down" position. Since intimacy is something that needs to be shared between equals, this dynamic undermines the entire process.
This dynamic is "grandiosity". Grandiosity is an attitude, a state of mind, where one person sees their wants, needs, thoughts, desires, opinions, emotions and preferences as having more weight and validity than the other persons.
Another way to say it is that grandiosity is an extreme form of self-esteem where a person doesn't feel appropriately bad for things they have done. It is actually a good thing to feel bad once in a while. If you did something bad, it is appropriate to feel bad about it. Grandiose people do not experience this much.
A general guideline is: "Healthy people need to feel an appropriate amount of shame".
The key here is "appropriate amount"....too much shame pulls you into a "one down" position, too little puts you into a grandiose "one up" position. Grandiosity can make you feel special, all-powerful, and like the rules don't apply to you. Taken to the extreme, it becomes delusional (I am God, I can fly).
There are two keys to understanding grandiosity:
1/ It feels good. It is nice to feel powerful and special, a "step apart" from the crowd. This makes it an intoxicating emotion and one that is not easily relinquished.
2/ It nullifies that part of our boundary that constrains us...grandiose people are given to unrestrained expression or indulgence. As a result, they are very insensitive to how their behaviour affects those around them. As a result, they do not feel the pain of their actions - other people feel the pain of their actions. Until they realize and own that, it means they will perpetuate a dysfunctional system. This also means that grandiose people do not seek therapy, they are brought to therapy.
Grandiosity can be dangerous to your health, relationships and happiness. It kills love and intimacy. Every shameless act, every hurt, every violation of someone else, every bit of selfishness is committed by someone is some state of grandiosity.
Another way to say this is that every act of (emotional, mental, physical) violence committed between you and someone else is fuelled by grandiosity. Every (violent) act committed against yourself is fuelled by shame.
Shame and grandiosity are two sides of the same coin - grandiosity leads to "one up" and shame leads to "one down". And you cannot love someone from either of these positions.
For more on these themes, consult Terry Real's excellent book, The New Rules of Marriage.

Please help me define the ideal in-house Web Marketing Team
We are looking to hire several people this summer and build out an in-house marketing team. We had outsourced the function to a firm but now we want to bring everything in-house. I'm looking for suggestions on the type of roles, people, skills and even competitive compensation rates. We will need to be able to do at least the following functions:
Social Media
Link building
Blogger outreach
Copy writing
Site & Email administration
What else? Is it reasonable to expect that we can find people that can fulfill multiple roles? We use Hubspot for the site and we are located in Richardson, TX. Our site is www.axiomsfd.com. We had some very good rankings on our site until Penguin, now we have to build it back up. I would also be very interested in any feedback you have on our site. We want to build out the best possible team to build out an awesome online presence for our company.

Good Evening,
I know that you can remove cards via the Manage interface.
But I think it would be great if you could remove cards from your
kanji deck while reviewing.
So when you flip your review cards, there would be
"Remove" would remove the kanji from your study
deck (in the same way that the Manage tab can
remove cards. of course, your stories won't be deleted).
Right now, I have a script that scans text and makes
a list of all RTK kanji that appear in the text. Then I use
the manage tab to add them.
The problem for me is that some cards are just so easy they're
not worth reviewing. Often, I just want to concentrate on the cards
that I don't know or have difficulty with.
For example, a j-drama episode roughly contains 400-500 unique
kanji. If I know 300 of them well, then I really only want to concentrate
on the 100-200 that I don't know.
There would be especially good for people doing reviews on smartphones
and tablets. It has the potential for slimming down your kanji deck and
lets you focus on the kanji that really matter to you.

If cards are too easy, why not just hit easy? Seeing a card very very very rarely is pretty much the same as not seeing it ever.
The whole point of SRS is to do what you describe--only give you the cards you need to review.
Two ways it could hurt is by removing simplicity (you'd probably get people asking when it's appropriate to remove cards), and by the possibility of removing cards by mistake.
Last edited by Tzadeck (2011 March 09, 11:03 pm)
Let the SRS do its job. I could understand wanting to trim super easy cards if you had a very limited number of boxes or intervals within the system, but this site has a max of a 240 day interval.
So if you mastered all 3000 RTK kanji to the point where you had them all at a 240 day interval then it would average out to about 13 flash cards a day to maintain your knowledge. That's pretty much nothing. Even on a 4 month interval it would only be about 25 flash cards a day which is pretty close to nothing in terms of a time commitment.
Don't worry about it. The cards don't stack up for review the way you think they stack up. They tend to spread themselves out over time to the point where you will get fewer and fewer cards to review each day as the cards move their way up through the boxes.
This fact can be used pretty neatly to calculate how many new cards should be studied every day. I try to study 200 sentence cards per day for instance. About 130 come up for review, on some days more/some days less. I then add as many new sentence cards as I need to reach around 200 cards, and everything works itself out. When material is taking more time to learn than it should then fewer cards are added because more are failing over into short intervals. In cases where I'm blazing through material I already know I can add around 150 new cards a day without worrying about it.
Trust the SRS. It knows you better than you know yourself. I could understand if your Anki deck was just becoming unwieldly at more than about 5000 items, but that case is not what will ever happen on this site.
Last edited by erlog (2011 March 09, 11:31 pm)
yes let the srs do the work, it definitely knows us better than we know ourselves(memory)
I'm with chamcham on this. Deleting unnecessary cards is a good way of slimming down your deck. Is there really any point to reviewing all your kanji every 240 days? Most of those you will have seen countless times in books and articles during that time, and despite what some people think, 13 cards a day is not insignificant. That time really adds up when it's over the course of years, and if you're doing the same with your other decks it will be alot more.
In addition to this, it's going to be months before all your cards get to the last box, so the 13 a day figure is quite deceptive.
Last edited by Splatted (2011 March 10, 5:41 am)
If you do take RTK that seriously and let every one of your cards mature, I guess there's a good reason to remove cards. I don't personally believe that you should stick with RTK that long, but I know some people do.
But I'm still against having it on the main page. I just think it will confuse people about what the point of SRS is when they first begin. I remember being pretty damn confused about SRS when I first started, and when my friends have joined this site I've had to explain it to them quite a bit.
I also constantly hit the wrong button by mistake, so I wouldn't want any system of removal that would be easy enough that you could do it by mistake.
Why not just make th remove button a button that is way off from the other buttons? Like the delete button, or better yet, D+ delete or some combination. Then you know for sure it coldn't of been an accident. Or even setting a button to disable a card instead of deleting it would be effective.

Just use the delete card keyboard shortcut, the functionality is already there. No need for a button.
On mac it is cmd-del, you can find the one for your OS by opening a deck to study and going to the 'Edit' menu, it will say the shortcut to the right of the Delete option.
Having a two-key combination is a good thing, you can't accidentally delete a card.
You're talking about Anki, but this thread is about RevTK.
Everyone, thanks for the comments.
Although, I'd still rather have a remove card option (a keyboard shortcut
would be even better).
I'd like to use it for cramming. For example, take an article on FNN-news.
Extract all the kanji. Remove the really simply kanji and study the remainder
of the deck for the rest of the day. Erase the deck. Start over again the next day.
It's more for short-term cramming. Well, not just news articles, but also j-pop songs,
cooking recipes, fitness instructions, etc. J-pop songs tend to have 40 to 60 unique kanji.
I think everyone's comments is more gear towards long-term SRS (for ex, studying all
2042 kanji on a daily basis). I've already finished RTK1 twice.
This site is for the long term, though. If you want that kind of granularity then you should just study in Anki because it'll be able to do everything you want it to do, and more.
You're describing a use case that this site is specifically not designed to handle.
erlog wrote:

That's incorrect. The suggested feature is not implemented on the Review page, that is all.
Fyi, deleting flashcards can be done from the Manage pages and the Study pages, with the Edit Flashcard icon at the top right.
I'd suggest a work around of middle clicking the keyword to open a Study page in a new tab, and delete the card there. However the review page will complain when it sends answers to the server and the card is gone.
I don't know if I have the time to work on this now. I'll have a look at it.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't have a middle button to click. I think it's pretty common for laptops not to have one as well. I don't use the site SRS anymore, so it's fine with me if you set it up like this, but I thought it was worth mentioning that for some people that solution would be useless.
Splatted wrote:

I don't think it would be "useless". The keyword on flashcards is a link, and laptop users should be able to browse the Study page by using either a middle click gesture, or the "open in new window" gesture.
On a Mac you can open a new window by Shift-clicking (tapping) the link. When your browser is fullscreen it appears to replace your current window with a new one. Do whatever you want to do on the Study page, then hit Cmd-W or Windows equivalent to close the new window.
Shift-clicking a link is a convenient shortcut for right clicking and selecting "Open in new window" in the contextual menu.

I have it working now on my local copy. Will be live early next week.
You will get a little wrench icon in the top right of the card which pulls down the same Edit Flashcard menu as on the Study page. Besides the "Delete flashcard" option, you also get the flashcard info as on the Study page (Box, Pass/Fail counts, Last reviewed). You can also undo and re-answer the card with Yes/No/Easy.
I'm not sure if I want to add a Delete shortcut key. It's a bit dangerous especially if the key is anywhere close to the existing shortcuts.
As a reminder, you can also remove cards from the Study page by clicking the icon on the upper right.
See today's update in the Site News.
On further thought, I added a keyboard shortcut (D) because a red box shows when you delete a flashcard, and it is possible to undo in case of mistake/mistype.
Thanks Fabrice!
I've used the new feature so many times already that I can't imagine
not having it.
Glad to hear it's working

In Reply. —We agree with Drs Burke and Steele that opportunities abound for teaching medical students and resident physicians how to provide excellent care for the dying. However, these opportunities are ignored routinely in medical education, and pernicious financial barriers still provide disincentives for changing this situation.Patients nearing the end of life in hospitals should be a focus of special concern. However, it seems that these patients continue to be marginalized by educational programs and discounted as "uninteresting teaching material." End-of-life care often is miscategorized by medical educators as ethics. While ethical issues in the care of the dying might attract considerable attention, there is no ethical dilemma to be faced in response to questions about treatment, such as whether students should know equi-analgesic dosages of various narcotic drugs. Yet students learn quickly that they will be rewarded more for knowing the patients' serum potassium levels than for attending to the
