How Christmas Has Gone Digital
With more mobile devices connected to the internet this Christmas than ever before and the huge increase in tablet devices likely to be unwrapped tomorrow, it's no surprise that the internet and digital devices are becoming a big part of our Christmas experiences.
Six Google Hummingbird Optimisation Ideas
Last month I wrote about Google returning Semantic Search results and making big moves forward in understanding users through conversational word. Incredibly it turns out Google had released a completely new Algorithm that powered its Knowledge Graph during this time, although no one really noticed!
What is Semantic Search and What Is Its Future?
Last year there was a host of blog posts and thoughts on Semantic Search including this and this on the Koozai blog. A question to Matt Cutts in 2010 asking 'What is the future of Semantic Search' showed some early insight into what Google may be working towards. Let's take a look at what we know.
10 Great Conversion Rate Optimisation Case Studies
In my opinion Conversion Rate Optimisation still doesn't get the attention it deserves so in this post I'm going to share some amazing CRO case studies to inspire and prove that testing works.
A Guide To Bing Chicken, Bing Webmaster Tools & Guidelines
Last month I wrote a blog post featuring lots of Google Webmaster Tools Resources. Google Webmaster Tools is widely used by SEO's looking to improve their site for Google, but people often forget about the other search engines, Bing and Yahoo. Of course Bing powered search only officially accounts for around 8% of UK searches, but I have clients with over 30% of visits coming from Bing and Yahoo combined, so it is completely in an SEO's interest to make sure their websites are well optimised.
Big List Of Google Webmaster Resources
Unless you've been living like its 2005, you should be aware that the first role of doing SEO is to make sure your website complies with Google's Webmaster Guidelines. If it is not in line with these guidelines then you can expect to see some issues with its indexation and visibility in the Google search results.
How Traditional Brands Should And Are Investing In Digital
This month I want to talk about how Traditional Brands can and actually are investing in digital media and services, not just their own websites. With the boom in online shopping and digital media as a whole, how do existing offline brands get involved? I believe they should all be making an effort to get a piece of the digital market in order to attempt to survive the downturn we are seeing in High Street shopping and services.
A Step By Step Guide For Switching To AdWords Enhanced Campaigns

How Much Is The Internet to Blame For High Street Retailers Going Under?
The last few months have seen further high profile UK businesses announcing that they have entered administration. Comet, Jessops, HMV and Blockbuster have been the most recent of a line of high street retailers going under.The company directors themselves, news channels, press and media were quick to blame a variety of factors, including the growth of Internet shopping.

Note from Diane: Social Media is here to stay in a huge global domination kind of way. Despite all the rumblings about Facebook being "dead" and Twitter being "over saturated" nothing has gripped the global audience more in the last decade than Social Media.
It took off like a rocket ship, broke all kinds of records about reaching millions and millions of people in a matter of months not years and hard as it is to believe You Tube, Twitter & Facebook were 3 relatively unknown words just a few short years ago.
In fact 2014 has seen more updated versions of everything (including my own Project Lifestyle Club) than I have ever seen.
With so many promotional and marketing strategies becoming fast outdated and the continual growth of Social Media in your marketing mix, at some point you have to raise the white flag and surrender to the fact that this is not a fad it is a must have for your business.
So how do you make it easy and fun?
Feature Article: 3 Ways To Make Social Media Management Easy And Fun
#1. Keep Everything Simple
If you can outsource writing articles, creating images and content for your Social Media marketing then that will save you a huge chunk of time. (We offer a Social Media Done For You Service) which is designed to help you get started and up and running on Social Media without all those "what do I say" blank moments, or "what if I do it wrong?" worries.
Most home based entrepreneurs who are used to doing everything themselves will bolt this on to their normal day and just run with the punches.
If you are a regular blogger and you have kept a record of your content in a list format by topics and links you can easily send out a blog post every other day in the fresh content mix.
There are as many top performing Social Media experts that share other relevant content as there are those that only ever create the content themselves.
When you are starting out, it's fine to do a mix of both.
There are a lot of motivational quotes on Facebook because people LIKE reading and sharing them and Facebook is one of those happy more motivational places that people are craving right now.
(An oasis from all the doom and gloom of the news.)
Aim to post 3-5 times per day and make it as varied, informative and interesting as possible.
2. Use Tools To Speed Everything Up
Hootsuite is probably the #1 platform to use to manage your Social Media publishing. It's easy to get the hang of and doubles up for posting to Twitter and to your Facebook page in one scheduled or live post.
With all sorts of neat tools, like the built in link shortening software and character counter you can easily spend less than 15 minutes scheduling up your posts for Twitter and Facebook for the whole day.
Don't just schedule and forget it though!
Engagement is vitally important to creating the kind of Facebook page that gains loyal fans and potential customers.
If people see that others enjoy your content they will be 10x more likely to share it with others.
Facebook pages also have a scheduling facility that you can link up your Twitter account but you'll notice that it can be hit and miss compared to Hootsuite's ability to post to both Twitter and your Facebook page.
Another tool you may want to think about is Pagemodo which is a brilliant piece of software that creates those Facebook page apps.
But it also has some amazingly creative built in features that find related articles and content for your page.
Plus there are some great photos that you can edit that allow you to frame some of your quotes , tips and ideas in a very professional way that will make you stand out.
3. Don't Play It Too Safe But Stay On The Positive Side For Everything
Unless you like having stand up fights on your Facebook page, and want to attract controversy for the sake of it you should always try and stay on the positive side of everything.
As one of the major escape routes from "the real world" in our every day, the last thing most people want is to find themselves reminded of their "average day."
Motivational tips and what I call "snippets of brilliance" are designed to do one thing .. MAKE SOMEONE'S DAY go better!
Making someone smile, laugh or feel motivated that they can do something is the best way to keep your Facebook page fan base happy and allows them to feel part of what is a very special community you are building live on Facebook.
Pictures or words?
It doesn't matter.
The key thing is to add value to people's day by sharing and creating great content.
A great free tool for creating motivational quotes and images for Facebook is PicMonkey.
I like Techsmith Snagit tool which is my #1 tool for pretty much everything image orientated.
For added fun, throw in some jokes and stories that people can relate to and you will soon find yourself relaxed and whizzing through your Social Media for the day.
PS If someone leaves a comment .. thank them and talk back!

Porn hater accuses Guido Fawkes of sponsoring hack, confuses a link and a screenshot…
Claire Perry, the MP behind the porn blocking plans announced by the Prime Minister this week, has been left red-faced after hackers defaced her website with references to porn.
Perry went on to claim over Twitter that notable blogger Guido Fawkes had sponsored the attack, having already confused a screenshot posted by Fawkes with a direct link to her site.
Claire Perry porn embarrassment
Fawkes posted a screenshot of the hacked page, which he claimed contained explicit adult images. He noted the irony that the site would have been blocked if the new rules to put a default block on pornography had already come into effect. That page is currently inaccessible.
But when Perry noticed Fawkes' blog, she went on a rant over Twitter, initially claiming Fawkes had been "hosting a link that distributed porn via my website", which was not the case.
"Apologies to anyone affected by the hacking of my website sponsored by @GuidoFawkes – proves so clearly what we are dealing with," she tweeted, before suggesting Fawkes remove the non-existent link from his site.
Fawkes said Perry appeared "very confused", denying any involvement with the attack on Perry's site. Perry then said she would be contacting the blogger's editor at the Sun on Sunday, for whom Fawkes also writes.
Paul Staines, who runs the blog, told TechWeekEurope he will be suing unless Perry offers a full retraction of her claim he helped hack her site. He had earlier placed a poll on his site asking whether he should take action.
The plans to censor porn by default have received much derision, with many noting how easy it would be to get around the filters that ISPs will be forced to impose. Many others believe parents should decide what filters are used, not the government.
Claire Perry said she had no comment on the matter.

I do not mind that Claire Perry wants to protect children, and I give the benefit of the doubt to her on this and believe that she is sincere. However, it is grossly offensive for her to refuse to listen to technological experts over the very real technical and legal reasons for not proceeding with the ISP level filter. In short, Not only will it NOT work, it CANNOT work.
Kids will still see porn. The proposed filter levels are ridiculously easy to by-pass and fail to stop porn on social networks or direct messages or SMS media.
Additional harm will occure when legitimate safe non-porn sites will be blocked wrongly. When they tried this in Ireland, the rape crisis website was blocked. When sussex council fitted filters to their own networks, they ended up blocking their own website because Sussex contains the word "sex".
Only a complete IT idiot would proceed with her plans. And in her response to mixing up a screenshot with a link? This only enforces the impression that she is utterly clueless and a rank embarrasment and a complete idiot.
Do not let Claire Perry near a computer. She is a classic example of a little knowlege being a very dangerous thing.
I do not think it possible to remain polite and be able to also express how incomprehensively idiotic, brainless and ignorant Claire Perry is on this issue.
I do not want to don a "tin-foil hat" over this but surely she cannot be so utterly thick as to ignore all the best evidence of the industry experts on this to pursue an utterly unworkable solution? Or are they going to go to ISP level filtering of porn to allow filtering and tracking and eventual control of all web-traffic?
Are they going to be restricting the self harm sites? then the anerexic sites, the climate change denial sites, anti-immigration sites? alternative news sites? and so on?
Are they going to be using this irrational fear of consensual adult porn, as an excuse to be tracking all our surfing and building a threat profile on each of us to use against us?
That is the only plausible reason for such a draconian measure, which ignores industry expert advice.
I'd like to comment on Ken Hall's comment, paragraph by paragraph. In terms of the argument:
Yes, agree here with first part – and last part. Yes, yes yes, yes. Yes – yes; yes again, yes and finally, yes.
If that does not express sufficient agreement, +1
I work in IT.
Only cowards use censorship.
Do not let Claire Perry near a computer.
x 1,000,000
Censorship: deference to idiocracy.
As for Perry herself: U MAD, HO?
Has no one noticed the pornography (general nudity) on British tele? So it's okay if it a broadcast medium, but not web based?
Already there is word that ISPs will be forced to give up information on whether an customer has opted into porn….. This will then be used against them in court cases, child custody hearings etc
Sometimes its idiots like Claire Perry that are more of a risk to democracy than the terrorists gun and bomb.
Democracy requires freedom of expression and privacy to thrive, her ideas are the direct opposite of that. Worse she doesn't even realize it!
This is going to turn into an interview question for support techies.
1) You are using a internet connection using a government mandated porn filter, how do I get to youporn.com
I you answer you get considered, if you come up with a novel and innovative answer you get hired on the spot.
"1) You are using a internet connection using a government mandated porn filter, how do I get to youporn.com"
Easy – you don't use the same connection as me. I can haz jobz?

- dishdelishdishdelishDined on 10/18/2014The Weekapaug Inn is a cozy and charming place for a quiet getaway. The restaurant was a wonderful dining experience. Our waitress was charming and the food was delicious. The beet appetizer was a fascinating combination of delicate flavors, and the pistachio chocolate cake a beautiful finish to a fine meanl.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- RifoodieDined on 10/10/2014Very pleasant overall experience. The food is very good, with nice use of local ingredients, and the presentation is what you would expect at this price level. The service was exceptional, the dining rooms are not particularly cozy, although if you are there in daylight the view would more than make up for the bland decor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, service not great.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We had the chicken and monk fish, and started with pumpkin soup - Couldn't ask for anything more. The food was amazing. The service however was sub par; for some reason the Ocean House / Weekapaug Inn just can't get it right with service. If a server doesn't know the answer to a question, there are more eloquent ways to say "I don't know" or "I'm new here."Special Features:
- Amazing RestaurantNCDBHDined on 9/26/2014Chef Jennifer Backman is a rising star. The menu was interesting and the execution flawless. We expected a really good meal and received an amazing one. Can't wait to come back again.Special Features:
- Love the Weekapaug InnyummmmDined on 9/25/2014I had a wonderful dinner at the Weekapaug Inn with a very knowledgeable staff serving us. We had lunch at the Ocean House (sister property) earlier in the day and liked the Weekapaug much better. absolutely beautiful, but more down to earth, and the service was much better. Food too. Definitely worth a trip!Special Features:
- Very nice but...RIdinerDined on 9/21/2014The menu is quite limited, small portions (but excellent quality) and very expensive wine list, especially by the glass!!Special Features:
- a lovely eveningsusanmfDined on 9/20/2014From the minute we walked in the door i knew thus was a class act restaurant. Service was attentive - not overbearing. Food was fresh and wonderfully prepared. This place is a cut above.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/14/2014While the service is excellent and the ambiance are terrific the food is not very good. Bouillabaise was very disappointing (2 scallops, 1 calimari, small piece of white fish); appetizer salad ordinary, halibut looked smashed (vegetable sides were good). The location is outstanding and food should be better.Special Features:
- Poor performer for expectations setSouthCountyEatsDined on 9/10/2014All in all we ordered four appetizers and four main courses as well as deserts and coffee. Two bottles of wine and cocktails before the meal. None of it came off as high quality. I feel that the kitchen did not live up to the standards expected of an affiliate of the Ocean House. The prices for the wine list were on average 300% over retail. It was a very expensive night out and not a very enjoyable one. I will say however that the service was very good and the location and view from our table was very nice, but I will not be a return customer.Special Features:
- StoningtonLDRDinesDined on 9/6/2014We dined here with 2 other couples (6 of us). The location is magnificent and the views are breathtaking. The service was just so-so but our waitress was pleasant and really tried hard. Very limited menu (about 8 items on the menu) and the portions were VERY VERY small. Everyone was still hungry when dinner was over, especially the men. Someone ordered the scallops for approximately $29.00 and it came with 3 scallops on a large plate. Very disappointing. Someone else ordered the bouillabaisse and that too was a very small portion. The bill was over $600.00 - and we all wanted to go get a pizza afterwards. The wine list had a nice selection.Special Features:
- SpectacularlocaldinerVIPDined on 8/31/2014This place has no flaws. The food was excellent. The service was accomodating and just right.Special Features:
- happydinerDined on 8/31/2014An excellent venue, good food options and nice view. We were seated outside and unfortunately, were bothered by bees flying around and landing in our food.Special Features:
- weekapaugdchubbDined on 8/15/2014I ordered the Halibut which I love. Not only was the fish overdone and rubbery; but the overall dish was not well matched in flavor. Also, it was salty. The corn on the dish was very good; the best part. The lobster cake was very good. Wine list was very limited. Beautiful place but the food should be better. We would b very hesitant to eat there again.Special Features:
- Service and Delicious FoodElithaDined on 8/9/2014We were met by the maitre d with a smile and taken to our table immediately, making our reservation on time. The service was pleasant, efficient and professional. Food was innovative, delicious, well presented and fresh. This is fine dining at its best.Special Features:
- Weekapaug InnOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/6/2014The Weekapaug Inn is a nice addition to the Westerly/ Charlestown dining options. There aren't many spots with a gorgeous water view and the service and food were excellent.Special Features:
- Another enjoyable eveningPaulDined on 7/30/2014This is one of the best restaurants in our coastal region. I have enjoyed every meal we've had here and will look forward to others. It was our anniversary and they treated us very personally and graciously, way up and beyond the call of duty. If you want a special night out with a delicious meal, this is a place to go. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- An exquisite night outPaulDined on 6/13/2014My wife grew up coming to the old Weekapaug Inn, so the setting was already cherished. However, our experience this time made it memorable for all of us. Each of the entrees were fabulous, and when combined with great first courses, made for a special evening. The waitstaff were very helpful and engaging and the setting was quiet enough for easy conversation, even though the restaurant was nearly full. We will make this our new destination for special nights out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Quintessential New England GemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/1/2014We have seen the changes in this beautiful inn over the years and with the latest renovation, it is nothing short of stunning. Unpretentious but beautifully capturing the essence of the New England shoreline. The dining was superb. It was our anniversary and a card was waiting for us at the table. The food and service was divine and we spoke to the Chef to compliment her on a beautiful and delicious meal. Our desserts were also divine and each one was written with Happy Anniversary in chocolate on the plate. A special evening, a special occasion but we are already planning our next dinner there with friends. Views of the pond at sunset were matched by the changing colors of the sky. Incredible!Special Features:
- Limited menu for a table of eight.JannyVIPDined on 5/24/2014Our experience here was somewhat disappointing. Because we were a table of eight I had to agree in advance to a much abbreviated menu: only two appetizers total from the hot and cold appetizers, three entrees and two desserts. Many delicious possibilities were lost to us. The restaurant told me this was their policy. Also, they noted it was Memorial Day weekend and they had many large parties. However, the restaurant was only half full the night we were there and we were the only large party, discounting a group in a private room. I might add, we were seated in an area with not even a glancing view of the water. This restaurant is NOT good for groups! As a summer Watch Hill resident I will not come back if I have a party of eight.
- Not the best meal - way overpricedCookieSnapperVIPDined on 5/23/2014Have dined here before and enjoyed but not this time. The soft shell crab was dry / overcoooked. At $42 this was highway robbery. I think the staff has become indifferent. They hire a bunch of college kids who have the desire to please but don't have the experience or training to pull it off.Special Features:

- pleasant lunchhungryneighborDined on 5/15/2014We did not know what to expect when we entered the Inn. We were greeted pleasantly and shown to a very comfortable and scenic table. The waitress was very attentive to our needs and patiently answered our many questions. When the food arrived, we were treated to tasty, satisfying lunches. We enjoyed our experience at The Weekapaug Inn and are looking forward to a return visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Gem.cheersDined on 5/10/2014I'll cut to the chase. I love this place. Friendly, scenic and consistantly great food. The reason I left off a star is because I really wish they could find it in their hearts to give the table something to nibble on while waiting for the meal. We come for lunch and travel a great distance to get to the Inn therefore upon our arrival we are hungry. The meals do take awhile to arrive due to the fact that they are fresh and somewhat complicated to prepare. Last week we did order chips for a starter but they came with our meal. Still, The Inn is a great experience and worth the trip.Special Features:

- Weekapaug Inn--fantasticCharrmDined on 4/19/2014Lovely inn, on Quonnochontaug Pond, recently completely renovated. Elegant, but not over-done or oppressive. Celebrated a couple of birthdays at lunch. Food and service was excellent. Felt very welcome. Good for small parties, weddings, brunch. Will try dinner sometime! Is pricey, but worthwhile. We got to wander the Inn and it was lovely; the staff was very friendly. Fabulous view!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent BrunchJackDined on 4/6/2014We recently had Sunday brunch at the Weekapaug Inn and had a great dining experience from start to finish. The food, service and ambience were uniformly excellent. In golfing terms this was the Pebble Beach of brunches, with the only problem being that it will make brunch anywhere else seem very ordinary. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfection!SmittyDined on 4/6/20145 of us had a wonderful food experience having Brunch at the Weekapaug Inn on Sunday. We chose to have the main course rather than the full brunch menu as we didn't want to stuff ourselves. We all chose a different menu item and everyone was very pleased with their choice.The creativity and flavors of the food served there would be hard to find in most restaurants. Everything is prepared with such care and perfection. Also, coffee, tea and fresh juices were included in the price. We can hardly wait to go to brunch again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yumvkk32VIPDined on 4/5/2014Took my granddaughter here for lunch for the start of a weekend getaway--a little quality for the two of us. I've been to the Weekapaug Inn several times and thought she would enjoy it. She did. There were lots of great selections on the menu but we both opted for the farm fresh burgers and they were outstanding, juicy and moist perfectly cooked smothered in carmelized onions, bacon, and Vermont cheddar. We opted for healthy field greens as our side. I can't remember the last time I had a burger so this one was especially good and especially satisfying. A guilty pleasure for sure but one well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just amazingEasternpntVIPDined on 3/29/2014We have been here a few times now for various special occasions and are always impressed with the food. The preparation, presentation and flavors are amazing. This time I found our waitress to be a bit underwhelming as she was making and apologizing for lots of mistakes. For the price point I expect a more professional waitress.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Wonderful DaySandyDined on 3/28/2014Where would I suggest anyone to have a delightful, yummy and relaxing lunch with a small group of friends? Weekapaug Inn! It was my first visit there for lunch; and the good news is, now that I've discovered it and since it is only 30 minutes away from my Rhode Island home . . . It certainly won't be my last visit! No matter what the season, what the occasion, or what the time of day/night, I can't imagine that anyone would not completely enjoy the experience of Weekapaug Inn. And, make sure you give yourself enough time, before and after the meal, to just take in the ambience of both the inside and outside of this quintessential New England Inn by the Sea.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

|Anonymous sent: Are you, like, the only mail carrier for the post office? Isn't there anyone else who delivers mail as well?
Though I think I've got an advantage with my wings at least… heheh I ought to thank them more often.
Hope I wasn't missed too badly nor that I was gone all too long… Eheheh… heh..
[ You guys might notice that the blog now has a bunch of empty pages! That's because as a part of the reboot I decided to private most of the posts. There's a few I'm keeping (Shiver City Ball, etc.), but yeah. Sorry for any future confusion and I hope this shall be a splendid reboot!
I'll be answering the asks I do have left still by the way. ]
Hmhm! An I wouldn't mind gettin' to know more about you.
> He seemed to be quite the interesting fellow. What was it like to be a Mail Carrier, he wondered.
An as much as Rogueport is full of troublemakers, it's got a charm to it. Lots a diamonds in the rough if you ever have a really good look around. That an there are some honest folks makin' good livin' around there, too. Could go on.
> He fixes his cap, giving a listen to his troubles with the Parlor.
Didn't think anythin' different a' you for just goin' to the parlor. It's a popular spot, often see a lot of folks there. I would've assumed you were on a break or the like.
A diamond in the rough you say? Makes me want to go find these people myself! Though I guess I'd stand out if it's your version of Rogueport? I honestly must say that those who can tolerate living there under such circumstances are troopers. I'd wonder what types of folks they are.
[/he looks to the side a bit]
Thank you for that. I hate to admit it, but if I weren't an active participant of it, I'd personally think every player there was eccentric judging by a few of them.. I suppose I should strive to be a little bit more open-minded like you and take the time to look at things, eh?
Rio looked at the other forts. They were coming along much more quickly than the one he and Parakarry were building, but he didn't let it bother him. He knew that if he let it eat him he'd be distracted from actually working, and end up pelted with snowballs. And he hated the cold.
"That would be pretty convenient, but after being in DryDry Desert and then Mt. Lavalava I think I could do without the fire." he said.
"And you're right, I don't see much of anyone else around. I thought I spotted one or two people earlier, but not since then."
Chuckling, he answered. "Yeah.. I guess you're right. I didn't mind Dry Dry Desert too much, but Mt. Lavalava sure was something else, whew! I don't think I've ever felt so glad to get out of a place as I was there. I don't know how Kooper deals with it."
"I was with Bombette and Lak— Spike.. before I arrived at the resort. I wonder where they ran off to."
"Karry!" Rio exclaimed in relief. It was a big encouragement to see not only his teammate, but his good friend hanging around and…building a fort!
"Good thinking, man!" he said, barreling down into the snow next to the winged man immediately and beginning to shore up piles of the stuff to pack together. "If we have a wall, we've got ourselves a shield! Just like a shell! Let me help."
"Heh, you shouldn't give me all the credit. I got the idea from the other team, actually." He motioned over towards Team 2's forts. "I appreciate the help, though! I haven't quite spotted any of our teammates as of yet. It really takes a good deal of work off my shoulders. Though if only this was like a shell. Especially Kooper's. Imagine how convenient it'd be to fling it around and have it burst on fire! Though I do guess it would be a safety hazard or would just melt the snow. Hm..," he spoke as he continued his work.
Well maybe I could lead you around when we've got time, hm? No reason not to.
> And if he was correct, there was something about teams he'd seen mentioned before he set off? Maybe this fellow was on his.
An you'd be right, it ain't the nicest place in the kingdom… But nonetheless, does have its perks.
> It was home. And that was all that really mattered. But the Parlor…?
And do you now? Maybe THAT'S where I've seen you! On one of my visits to the Western Side. Makes a lick of sense, hm?
Ah, that'd be quite the treat! A good refresher is always appreciated! I suppose we could get to know each other a bit more then as well.
[/he raised an eyebrow]
Would you mind telling me a bit more about this place and it's nice qualities? I'd certainly be interested to hear them all! It'd all be news to me.
[/he nodded]
Admittedly, I have a bad habit dealing with the parlor unfortunately.. I've been trying to cut on it but whenever I go to the blimp for my duty, I'm tempted each and every single time. I'm afraid that you saw me slacking off, of all things. It's not really up to our motto… I hope I didn't make a bad impression?
"Oh boy…" rio muttered, "A Sports event of all things…doesn't look like I'm gonna come out on top of this at all."
He looked around. Most of the people here with arms were bound to be better in a snowball fight than him. He was going to have to rely on his brain and his speed like he always did. He sighed, drew up the hood of his coat, and went off to find a few of his teammates, hoping to form a strategy.
"Hello, 'Rio! Over here!" the mailman exclaimed and waved, then motioning him over. "Glad to see you've made it to the event! I'm gonna need a hand to help out for sure." He had been working rather slowly on making a blockade. The progress clearly wasn't much and only made it to his knees after all this time.
Really now? Least in my time I got to know Shiver City an around there.
> Always a plus to know the land, especially if it came to some of these aforementioned 'events'.
Pleasure to meet you as well. And I think so, yes! I hail from Rogueport, sort of aged-lookin' port town. Might you have passed through there at some point?
[/he chuckled sheepishly]
That would certainly be useful. I admittedly was pretty lost despite having been here before at least twice.. Though it's admittedly been a few years.. or months, was it?
[/he went into deep thought for a few moments before replying with a grin]
Yes, yes.. I think I've been there once or twice. Not a rather pleasant town, if I remember correctly. The letters I'd have to deliver in that area though were more towards Petalburg and Glitzville. Though the number might be decreasing what with those Mailbox SPs… I remember seeing some of them in the more lively part near the parlor.
[/he jumps slightly at the realization]
Yes, I visit the parlor every so often! Now, I remember. It's quite silly of me to forget about it retrospect, heheh..
> He jumped a bit at the sudden arrival. He didn't expect to be approached so quick.
'Ello to you as well. An aye, I did just arrive. S'pose I missed somethin'!
> Just as expected. But nonetheless, he doesn't let that get him down.
I'm the Admiral Bobbery. An I believe I've caught sight a' you somewhere before, Parakarry.
> So he was the somewhat elusive mail carrier!
[/Hm, this man's dialect was certainly new to him. It intrigued him to say the least.]
Frankly, it wasn't too much. It was just a feast to welcome everyone. They say the first event is today! It's got me positively jittery just thinking about it, heh.
[/An admiral, did he say he was? My, this sailor certainly seemed interesting! The comment however shifted his expression as he cocked his head to the side in surprise]
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Bobbery! And have you? Where do you come from then? I don't believe I've been to too many places besides the area around Toad Town and Decalburg…
"No, I really don't remember much of anything," Bette said, she jogged quickly after Parakarry to catch up with him and walked quickly to keep up with his longer strides. "I'm not so good with direction. But maybe we can ask someone up here though!" She said cheerily. She was in a good mood for now but that would cease to be so if she got too cold.
"I remember part of the resort map, I think, man, but—" They were already walking. Spike hurried to catch up, hands in his pockets and carried on walking along with them. "Yeah, Bombette's right, there's gotta be someone who knows. Hey, you know, like Rio! Where's the short-stack when ya need him, man?"
"I'm afraid we might've wanted to plan for all of us to leave at the same time. Is there any way any of us could get a hold of Goombario? I'm certain he has one of those fancy Mailbox SPs." Not to say he didn't have one himself, but he preferred not to use it. "Absolutely certain. I have one myself, if any of you folks can remember his email. Otherwise, I don't have much of an idea of what to do besides attempting to talk to the mayor perhaps?"

Oh, why don't you just leave me alone
Your the kind I choose not to know

Look inside you're a small frighten end
Now you don't want to be left alone
I know your rotten (goal) will unfold

Create an Outdoor Oasis for Less Than $1,000
A concrete patio is turned into a Mexican-themed outdoor room.
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
A current trend in outdoor landscape design is to meld the setting with the house for a seamless whole, so the outdoors and indoors appear as one. Landscape designer James M. Drzewiecki of Ginkgo Leaf Studio redesigns a terrace, giving the homeowners and guests a front row perch at water's edge.
The backyard and existing concrete patio were dated and overgrown, and the house was effectively separated from the lake by an enormous yew hedge. Emphasizing the view of the lake with our design was one of our clients' requests. They were also concerned about water run-off going into the lake rather than being retained on the site.
There was an important disconnect between the home and its beautiful lake. The existing patio did not act like a bridge between them as it could. We created a connection by designing a radial-themed bluestone and brick terrace and by designing a focal point centered on a circular dining area that appears to float over the water from the hillside. When our clients are now sitting on their new patio, the lake feels much more a part of their landscape.
Giving the redone terrace a sense of enclosure without blocking the view to the lake beyond. The radial theme helped achieve this, as did the custom-fabricated aluminum and stainless steel cable railing around the dining terrace. It gives the feeling of a defined space, but is a minimal visual element, so it doesn't obstruct views.
After our original patio design was installed in 2009, our client remodeled a room adjacent to the patio, including adding a nine-foot-high floor-to-ceiling sliding door. The new doorway required that we design a connection from this room to the previously constructed patio. An additional panel of bluestone and brick was laid with a new brick soldier interlaced with the existing one.
Our client shared the story of their recently completed kitchen remodel — that the kitchen designer gave them exactly what they asked for, but they had expected the designer to go beyond that and were disappointed. I keep that story in mind on every project I design.
To further the illusion of blurring the inside and outside created by the nine-foot floor-to-ceiling doors, our clients, per our recommendation, used bluestone tile for the flooring of their new room, matching the angle and pattern of the patio stone. When the doors are open, the room and patio appear to be one seamless space.

Motives: Why Are You Wanting to Get Fit?
- Monday, April 18, 2005
It's the same with this body God gave you. As much as those of us who are Christians would like to think otherwise, our bodies are not our own: "Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit … and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).
You see, your body is merely a rental. It houses your spirit until that day when you will be given a perfected and glorious new body (Philippians 3:20–21). When you realize you've been entrusted with this body, it should cause you to think twice about how you treat it.
This body you've been born with doesn't belong to you. You've got it on loan. And anyway you'll be getting a new one later. You're not stuck with it forever! So does it make sense to become depressed and not enjoy life while we're here? Does it make sense to isolate ourselves because we think we don't compare to this culture's standards? Of course not. This is the body God has given you for this life. Learn how to rejoice in it.
However, let me ask you something. Would you intentionally ding up that rental car or pour cheese wiz into the gas tank? I hope not. One, it's not smart, and two, it doesn't belong to you. In the same way you should not mistreat your body. You are a steward that has been entrusted with a special gift. You're to care for it and keep it in good condition until it's called in for return, regardless of shape or size it's a blessing.
The proper motivation for getting fit is to be a good steward of the body God has given you.
You have a spiritual responsibility to care for your body. Why? Because your physical health directly affects your ability to serve God. Christians are the hands and feet of Christ on this earth until He returns. How effective you are in this is directly related to your stamina, strength, endurance, and perseverance.
Look at it as if you were a soldier in God's army (which you are). Would you be fit to serve if the call came today? Are you in shape to do whatever your commanding officer requires? Or would you be disqualified from some amazing mission because you're just not physically able to do it? A good soldier must be able to take the physical challenges, tests, and training required by the job. You don't want to be passed over for assignments. You want to be ready at a moment's notice, whether it's to hike to some African village or be on your feet all day at a soup kitchen.
The right motive for getting fit is so you can do anything and everything God calls up on you to do. Your body is the vessel God has put you in for these years. It's the rental car. Treat it well and it will take you far.

In modern-day society, stress is virtually unavoidable. But while the word "stress" is used often, many underestimate the impact that this evolutionary physiological response can have on the body and mind. Stress is defined as a state of mental or emotional strain resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances; from an evolutionary standpoint, the body's response when faced with a stressor (for example: a potential predator) enabled survival. This "fight or flight" response known to result from stress can still be beneficial today, but more often than not, stress—especially when prolonged—can be very detrimental.
When the body is faced with an "adverse or demanding circumstance," a few things happen: blood pressure and heart rate increase and digestive function is impaired, preparing the body for action. The problem occurs when the stressor is not necessarily life threatening, as most modern stressors are not. While traffic or unexpected expenses are undoubtedly stressful, they likely do not warrant the fight or flight response that the body is hardwired to produce. The problem arises when the body is constantly in this state of prolonged stress (known as chronic stress). Some symptoms of this include:
The symptoms are not the only adverse side effects of prolonged stress. Stress is linked to higher risk of stroke and heart attack, impaired immune system functioning, and weight loss or gain.
Chronic stress is not something to be taken lightly. While it is inevitable, this does not mean that it is untreatable. Many things can be done to cope with and manage stress with minimal impact on the body and mind:
If you are experiencing chronic stress, consider seeking treatment—numerous alternative and complementary practices, including yoga, acupuncture, and bodywork, are effective in stress reduction. Fifteen InNetwork providers treat chronic stress, and they can be found here. Chronic stress can be progressively harmful, so take steps to manage your stress immediately.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) refers to a severe, prolonged tiredness that does not disappear even after rest. It is a condition that thousands of individuals in America alone suffer from, and though it may manifest itself in slightly different forms unique to the individual, it is often incredibly debilitating. In an effort to learn more about CFS, our social media intern, KM, interviewed Karen Stringer, an InNetwork provider with a great deal of experience treating chronic fatigue.

Affecting roughly 340 million people across the globe, depression is one of the most common psychological disorders today. While many cases go untreated, the numbers of those diagnosed with depression are growing. Roughly twenty five percent of women and ten percent of men are affected; perhaps even more surprisingly, about one in twenty teenagers are also depressed. Depression is one of the few psychological disorders present worldwide amongst those of every culture, age group, and background—and for this reason, treating depression has become of great interest to researchers and practitioners everywhere.
Depression is commonly treated through medication using a form of drug called an SSRI—selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Essentially, SSRIs increase the amount of serotonin in the brain in order to elevate the mood of a depressed patient. However, these drugs have a long list of potential side effects, including nausea, insomnia, dizziness, weight gain, and fatigue. Additionally, research indicates that less than half of those who use antidepressants become symptom-free, and even among those for whom antidepressants are effective, symptoms often reappear after a short period of time.
The bottom line: while antidepressants do work for some, there are many forms of complementary and alternative medicine that can help treat depression much more holistically and without the risks of drug therapy. Many of these treatments target not just the body but also the mind by enhancing one's overall sense of wellbeing and happiness as opposed to simply eliminating symptoms. These treatments include:
Talk with your health care provider if you feel that you have any of the common symptoms for depression: feelings of hopelessness or anxiety, loss of interest, change in appetite or sleeping patterns, inability to concentrate, and chronic fatigue. Additionally, talk to your doctor before beginning any alternative treatment.

When it comes to the ancient art of acupuncture, you might now know as much as you think.
There are many misconceptions about acupuncture, some of which might stem from fear.
Dr. Edward Lamadrid, DAOM (doctor of acupuncture and Oriental medicine), put a couple of needles into 3TV's Scott Pasmore to demonstrate how acupuncture is done and explain the truth about the treatment.
Pasmore said he didn't feel a thing when Lamadrid put two needles in place on his arm — live on the air.
While the needles weren't in enough to have any real effect on Pasmore (there were there less than five minutes), Lamadrid said acupuncture can be very relaxing and treat a wide variety of issues from depression and emotional issues to digestion difficulties to losing weight to headaches.
"Acupuncture used in conjunction with other treatments or medications can be extremely effective," he said.
While many people might be concerned about the safety of the needles, Lamadrid said that's not even an issue.
"Acupuncture is always performed with disposable needles in a clean and sterile environment," he said. "Acupuncture needles have been approved by the FDA and are only used once, then disposed of."
The key to successful, worry-free treatment, Lamadrid said, is to find a certified and licensed practitioner. He suggested visiting the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine's website — NCCAOM.org.

The auto show circuit this season has had about as tough a time as the industry it aims to showcase. But officials at this week's Chicago Auto Show said their business was looking up, even if the industry is down.
At shows like last month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit and the Los Angeles auto show last November, manufacturers had downsized exhibits, withdrawn model introductions and canceled displays altogether.
Jerry Cizak, general manager of the Chicago show, told the news media attending the first of two preview days on Wednesday that all the major manufacturers that exhibited at last year's show are back and their exhibit spaces are as large, or larger, this year.

Auto shows help sell cars, Mr. Cizak said, as evidenced by the automaker turnout in Chicago. "When your sales and marketing dollars are most precious, you invest them where you can generate the best return," he said. "I firmly believe that's why we have been able to hold things together in Chicago this year. We have been gratified that companies have been looking for ways to stay in the show rather than reasons to leave." Read more…

How Your Team Can Save Lives … If You Coach Them To
(Jul 8th, 2014)
I realized we were on to something the day I heard a 6-year-old baseball player ask his parent how he could help "sick kids in the hospital."
After having the opportunity to work with thousands of high school, collegiate and professional players all synced with the idea of the necessity of making an impact off the playing field, this question stopped me in my tracks. You can imagine the Minor League Baseball player or college senior trying to knock off a requirement from the team or a class … but a 6 year old? A kid himself? Wanting to help other kids?
