Google Launches Instant Previews
Yesterday Google launched a new feature in Instant Search: Google Instant Previews. When this feature is activated, you can click the magnifying glass icon to the right of a search result to view a pop-up preview of the page before clicking through. It appears that the preview is sometimes an accurate representation of the page, as above; in other instances Google will remove and/or magnify a portion of the page to show relevancy, as below: The pop-out quotes show where the keyword ("civet coffee") appears on the page.
On this particular SERP, Google altered the appearance of the preview for about half the results on the first page. It's not entirely clear what governs this. Will this affect the behavior of the typical Google user? It's hard to say what impact this will ha... > Read more
Advanced Search Query Mining Part 1: The Power of Search Queries
If you are bidding on broad match keywords and ignoring your search queries, you are definitely wasting money, by not managing your negative keywords, missing out on profitable long-tail keyword opportunities, and possibly missing new emerging search trends in your market. Keywords are not search queries Keywords are not search queries, although search queries can be keywords.
Keywords are assumptions about the words we think our customer will use when using a search engine, while search queries are the reality. If you are only using exact match keywords in your PPC campaigns, then your keywords will match your customers' search queries exactly every time a search is matched to your ad. However, if you are taking advantage of broad and phrase match, oftentimes one keyword ca... > Read more
Semantic Analysis for SEO: Going Beyond LDA
This is a guest post by David Harry. David Harry is an SEO and search analyst with Reliable SEO. He also writes on his SEO blog and runs the SEO Training Dojo, a top community in the SEO space. You can also track him down via Twitter: @theGypsy. Not so long ago the SEO world was quivering with excitement at a new shiny bobble for their lexicon: LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation).
Yes, you remember that one, don't ya? It all started with the poorly named SEOmoz tool and continued since then ushering in a new era of three-letter initialization snake oil. But really, this can still be a good moment for the search geeks of the realm, I promise. While it has left many sheeple with new smoke to waft in front of their mirrors, it has done something else far more valuable; it has SEOs talkin... > Read more
What Do Ads with High Click-Through Rates Have in Common?
When analyzing the performance of your pay-per-click ads, one of the main factors you'll want to concentrate on is click-through rate (CTR). Ads with high CTR are desirable because they drive more traffic to your site in less time. In addition, a high CTR contributes to a good Quality Score, and that helps lower your cost per click.
It's also an indication that you're targeting a relevant, qualified audience, which can improve your conversion rate as well. (Of course you'll want to keep an eye on both metrics and make sure you're not sacrificing one in favor of the other.) Recently I scanned through the ads in our own AdWords account and identified some patterns in the ads with the highest click-through rates. Note that I've changed the examples so I'm not giving away our best creative, bu... > Read more
Let's Get Blekko: The Search Engine for SEOs?
Halloween this year brought, along with the usual candy hangover, the launch of a much anticipated (by some, anyway) new search engine called Blekko, which has been in the works for several years. To compete with market leader Google and even Bing, any new search engine really needs to stand out, and Blekko sports a new concept: slashtag searching.
The idea is that you can follow any search with a slashtag that acts as a filter to narrow the scope of your results. For example, say you want to search for information about stars—as in the astronomical bodies, not the shape or famous people. You could restrict your results by searching for "stars /science"—that's the theory anyway. Nicely, when you type in "stars /" you get autocomplete suggestions for potentially related slashtags: The ... > Read more
Understanding Keyword Organization: Why You May Be Wasting Great Campaign Structures
One of the biggest mistakes that I see people make surrounding keyword organization is that they waste good to great structures. It's becoming better understood that intelligent paid search campaign organization is fundamental to paid search success, but just having a strong keyword structure isn't enough.
You have to then work to get the most out of that organizational advantage. How to Waste Great Keyword Structure in One Easy Step One of the really important things to understand about keyword grouping is that as you create new groups of keywords and get more and more granular with your segmentation, you're actually just speaking to an additional layer of intent. A keyword, after all, is an advertising control, and you're hand-picking a certain type of prospect with the keyword and signa... > Read more
Forget Impression Share, Analyze the Competition
I'm sure most of you are familiar with Google AdWords Impression Share reporting, now available in your Campaign tab. But how many of you are using the new "Analyze the Competition" tool available in your AdWords Opportunities tab? This new tool adds useful and detailed data for competitive intelligence.
To quote Craig Danuloff over at ClickEquations speaking about AdWords Impression Share data, "Maybe one day Google will share with us Impression Share at the ad group or even the keyword level. Wouldn't that be grand?"Well, not only did Google start offering share of impression data at the ad-group level, they also included categories, sub-categories, and comparisons for CTR, AvgPos, and Clicks. They even have a weird little video to explain exactly how it works:Why aren't we hearing more a... > Read more
Three Ways Landing Pages Are Different from Web Pages
Your landing pages – the pages that searchers land on after clicking on your ads – should usually be substantially different in content and style from a regular web page. This is because they are built around different goals. Web pages may be built to rank organically, to inform, to entertain, and sometimes to sell.
Landing pages are almost always intended to sell. Here are three points to keep in mind when creating landing pages as opposed to other types of pages. 1. Landing pages should be closely aligned with your keyword and ad. It's especially important when creating a PPC landing page to form a clear line between the keyword, the text ad, and the page. Using the keyword prominently in both the ad and the landing page demonstrates clear relevance to both the user and to Goog... > Read more
How to Maximize Google AdWords Marketing Returns with Targeting
With Google AdWords, you can build your brand and increase your customer base with near immediate results. However, the challenges in properly creating and managing an AdWords campaign are such that many marketers abandon the whole project before they can achieve any return on investment. These challenges include, but are not restricted to, high bid rates that exceed your budget and non-converting clicks that further erode your spend.
But there are two critical factors that go a long way toward ensuring greater AdWords marketing success, enabling you to implement precisely targeted advertising and turn your PPC campaign into a money-making machine. Step 1: Define Your Target Market One of the reasons why most AdWords marketers record below-average performance is aimless promotion. Since t... > Read more
A Google Sandwich with Google on the Side
As I went through the blog rounds this week collecting interesting links, I noticed a pattern: everything was turning up Google. Not exactly shocking in the search industry, I know. But for some reason this week seemed especially Googley. Here are some of the many Google stories I read this week. First up, Google has made a significant change to its local search results pages called "Place Search.
" According to Google, "We've clustered search results around specific locations so you can more easily make comparisons and decide where to go." As Patrick Altoft puts it, Google is phasing out organic search results for local queries, giving local results all the prime real estate: "The impact of this change is that in the long term any site that doesn't have a physical address in the location... > Read more
Best of the Month: WordStream's October Highlights
So what are you going to be for Halloween? One of these kooky costumes for SEOs perhaps? (I like the RT of someone else's costume.) Too conceptual for you? You could work instead on "optimizing" a more traditional costume for maximum recognition—there's nothing worse than getting all dressed up and then having to tell everyone who you are.
In the meantime, reading our best posts of the month should work up your appetite for the incoming candy (fun-size is the best size).

Google's Broad Match Modifier: Who Should Use It, Why, and How
I'm sure by now that most of you have heard of Google AdWords' new feature, Broad Match Modifiers (BMM). In short, by adding a simple "+" before a word in your broad match keyword, Google requires that word (or a close variation) to appear in the user's search query. If you're not excited, you should be.
This is exactly the type of feature that we advertisers have been asking for and can benefit greatly from. BMM gives us more visibility and control over how we spend our money. (Check out Alan Mitchell's blog post on using Modified Broad Match and its effect on CTR and CPC if you still need to get pumped up about trying out this new feature.) So who should use this exciting new feature? Anyone who has been afraid to use Enhanced Broad Match (EBM) in the past because it's ... > Read more

Complete Guide to AdWords Matching Options, Part 2
Click here to read Part 1 of our Complete Guide to AdWords Matching Options (covering broad match and modified broad match). Phrase Match The phrase match keyword option offers a much more targeted approach than broad match, but still allows flexibility for Google to match your ads to more queries than your exact keyword phrase.
When using the phrase match option, your advertisement will appear for searches that include your keyword phrase in the correct order, but can still display for queries including additional words. To use the phrase match option in AdWords, enter your keyword phrase in quotation marks. Entering your phrase as "Gel Batteries" indicates to Google that your advertisements should only appear when someone has entered a search term that includes this exact phr... > Read more

Rumor: Facebook, Apple to Form Terrifying Uber-Brand
There's been a lot of speculation this week, everywhere from The Atlantic to Hipster Runoff, that Apple is planning to buy Facebook. I'm pretty skeptical about this possibility, but nonetheless, it frightens me. No two companies I can think of have inspired so much cultish devotion among millennials, who rank brand loyalty up there with religion and ethnicity in terms of personal identification.
If Facebook and Apple joined forces, world domination couldn't be far behind. And that would be a scary world, a world with only rounded corners and far too many email notifications. Speculation began on Monday when Steve Jobs made intimations during an earnings call that Apple was poised to spend some of its $51 billion in cash on acquisitions. Or, as he put it, they have "a unique opportunit... > Read more
Headline Writing for PPC Ads: Dos and Don'ts

The Problem with Footer Links in SEO
Most people who are familiar with SEO know that not all links are created equal. In addition to the "nofollow" tag, there are many ways that a webmaster can value or devalue a link, intentionally or unintentionally. This includes everything from the keywords included in the anchor text to the HTML formatting that surrounds the link.
However, there is one aspect that is often overlooked, especially by those relatively new to SEO: the position of the link on the page. Though a link can be stuck anywhere on a page, the search engines quietly judge links based on their location. One spot in particular – the site footer – has drawn their attention, and not for good reasons, so much so that Yahoo secured a patent aimed largely at devaluing footer links, and anecdotal evidence sug... > Read more

PPC Risk-Taking: Using the AdWords Tools Less Traveled to Increase ROI
At the beginning of September, Google AdWords and I were in a relational rut. Our daily lives together had become monotonous and uninspired. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to blame Google for our static relationship, the truth is Google was never short on ideas for me to implement into my client accounts.
I, on the other hand, was stubborn and already knew what worked best for my accounts. After talking to some colleagues, I have found that this is a common problem among PPC account managers. When managing accounts, we often find ourselves falling into daily, weekly, and monthly account maintenance routines, and while we are utilizing best practices, we are also missing out on unique and innovative growth opportunities. Typically, any given day or week will include minor – although... > Read more
Five Ways to Repurpose Marketing Content
Ideally you would be able to produce multiple new blog posts, press releases, case studies and newsletters every day, bolstering your company's supply of marketing content and appealing to Google's love of freshness. But the reality is you are not a machine, and can only write so much during your workday.
Given time and energy limitations, it's key you find efficient ways to reuse, recycle and repackage your content (otherwise known as repurposing your content). Here are five ways to repurpose your marketing content to save time and get maximum leverage out of your work. 1. Tweak a blog post you've published and pitch it as a guest post. Google doesn't look kindly upon duplicate content, and neither do your fellow bloggers, but if the posts are significantly different, you should be in the... > Read more
Bing and Facebook Like Each Other (But Do They Like-Like Each Other?)
On Wednesday, Bing and Facebook announced a partnership to make search more social by integrating Facebook "likes" into search results. According to the Facebook blog: When you search for something on Bing or in web results on Facebook (powered by Bing), you'll be able to see your friends' faces next to web pages they've liked.
So, you can lean on friends to figure out the best websites for your search. In theory, if you search for "The Social Network" in Bing, you might see links to reviews or stories about the movie that your Facebook friends have given the thumbs-up. Or if you're searching for a hotel in Santa Monica, you might see that a friend liked a certain hotel's Facebook page. In addition, people in your FB network will be more likely to show up in searches for names. Mark Zuc... > Read more

Blog Strategies: How to Build Relationships with Bloggers
I've been blogging now for a little over three years now, and one of the important lessons I've learned during that time is that, to have a successful blog, you need to build relationships with other bloggers. Now, smart link builders have long understood that "link building is relationship building," and you will get more links by forging friendships than you will cold emailing strangers and begging for links.
The same holds true for "blog building," and developing relationships with your contemporaries is something that should be part of every bloggers' strategy. Networking with other bloggers in your niche allows you to: Develop mutually beneficial connections Generate more awareness for your own blog Establish credibility and cache for you and your blog (via a recommendation from an ... > Read more
Google is Testing New Sitelinks
It appears that Google is testing a new sitelinks format in the SERPs. I haven't seen this mentioned before in the blogosphere and it's the first time I've seen this new format so it's new to me. Anyway, I'm only seeing the new format with branded/navigational queries. With the new sitelinks format, Google has rolled up paired listings along with multiple domain and subdomain listings for a brand into a new expanded sitelinks format.
Here's one for "WordStream" And here's one for "Compete" At first blush, I'm a little torn as to whether I like it or not. It's definitely better for user experience and someone running a navigational query. However, from a SERP management standpoint, rolling up my paired listings and subdomain listings into one big sitelinks section all... > Read more
Farewell, Tom!
Today is a bittersweet day at WordStream – our much-loved director of marketing, Tom Demers, is leaving WordStream for another opportunity. We're very happy for Tom, who is buying a house with his beautiful wife and kids in Connecticut, but very sad for ourselves! Tom's shoes will be extremely hard to fill.
He's been with WordStream since waaaaaay back – as way back, at least, as a startup can go. Back when WordStream was just a handful of people meeting with laptops in a Panera, Tom was there, laying out the early marketing strategy and creating most of the content that became our website. He's seen us through several office moves, site redesigns and product overhauls, dozens of hires, and roughly a thousand meetings, with a huge smile on his face the whole time.

Revealed falsification of the Libyan rebels in Amnesty International
"I first heard about Al-Qaida while I was attending the Command and Staff course in Jordan. I was a French officer at that time and the French Armed Forces had close contacts and cooperation with Jordan . . .
"Two of my Jordanian colleagues were experts in computers. They were air defense officers. Using computer science slang, they introduced a series of jokes about students' punishment.
"For example, when one of us was late at the bus stop to leave the Staff College, the two officers used to tell us: 'You'll be noted in 'Q eidat il-Maaloomaat' which meant 'You'll be logged in the information database.' Meaning 'You will receive a warning . . .' If the case was more severe, they would used to talk about 'Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.' Meaning 'the decision database.' It meant 'you will be punished.' For the worst cases they used to speak of logging in 'Al Qaida.'
"We are publishing the reports of the secret security officers of the Libyan intelligence regarding the meetings of the Muslim Brotherhood and the armed mafia in collaboration with the terrorist elements from Daash (Belhaj). This report shows the brutal schemes (collusion) of these criminals to attack the legitimate Libyan army who are working to bring back the dignity and security of Libya. A copy of their plan has been leaked and we have posted it below. This report shows what is happening today in Tripoli because of NATO's illegal actions in 2011and its results in detail. A copy of the original plan was delivered to the head of Libyan intelligence by hand."
Author: Eric Draitser
Contrary to Western media reports, Qaddafi did not initiate Libya's violence by targeting peaceful protesters. The United Nations and Amnesty International have documented that in all four Libyan cities initially consumed by civil conflict in mid-February 2011—Benghazi, Al Bayda, Tripoli, and Misurata—violence was actually initiated by the protesters. The government responded to the rebels militarily but never intentionally targeted civilians or resorted to "indiscriminate" force, as Western media clai med. Early press accounts exaggerated the death toll by a factor of ten, citing "more than 2,000 deaths" in Benghazi during the initial days of the uprising, whereas Human Rights Watch (HRW) later documented only 233 deaths across all of Libya in that period.
The conventional wisdom is also wrong in asserting that NATO's main goal in Libya was to protect civilians. Evidence reveals that NATO's primary aim was to overthrow Qaddafi's regime, even at the expense of increasing the harm to Libyans. NATO attacked Libyan forces indiscriminately, including some in retreat and others in Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte, where they posed no threat to civilians. Moreover, NATO continued to aid the rebels even when they repeatedly rejected government cease-fire offers that could have ended the violence and spared civilians. Such military assistance included weapons, training, and covert deployment of hundreds of troops from Qatar, eventually enabling the rebels to capture and summarily execute Qaddafi and seize power in October 2011.
When NATO intervened in mid-March 2011, Qaddafi already had regained control of most of Libya, while the rebels were retreating rapidly toward Egypt. Thus, the conflict was about to end, barely six weeks after it started, at a toll of about 1,000 dead, including soldiers, rebels, and civilians caught in the crossfire. By intervening, NATO enabled the rebels to resume their attack, which prolonged the war for another seven months and caused at least 7,000 more deaths. ****(unfortunately it was not 7,000 deaths the number is a lot bigger to even for someone to grasp it. In these eight months the death toll arrived over 100 thousand people including women and children.)
So like every other Western reporter, Anjali Kamat [Democracy Now's Libya correspondent] never saw any "mercenaries," just their oversized bullets. She never saw any mass graves of the hundreds or thousands allegedly killed by Qaddafi's "heavy machine gun fire" either, or that would be on Democracy Now too. It's not. Nobody's located the thousands of wounded survivors either, that must have been the result of shooting into crowds killing hundreds of people, and none of this has stopped Democracy Now from carrying the story just like Fox News or CNN or MSNBC…Something is really wrong with this picture. We have to wonder whether, at least as far as the war in Libya goes, whether Democracy Now is simply feeding us the line of corporate media, the Pentagon and the State Department rather than fulfilling the role of unembedded, independent journalists.

Republicans have a potentially strong case to make against the Obama administration's handling of Libya, as the latest political developments there underline. On Sunday, a disputed vote in parliament led to the swearing-in of a new prime minister — the sixth since former
dictator Moammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 with the help of U.S. and NATO air forces. The new leader, an Islamist from the city of Misurata, replaced pro-Western prime minister Ali Zeidan, who was driven out of the country this year after his government proved unable to stop a militia from filling a tanker with stolen oil.
From the safety of Europe, Mr. Zeidan conceded what was obvious all along: Libya's post-Gaddafi government has no army and no way of establishing its authority over the hundreds of militias that sprang up in the vacuum that followed the revolution. Libya has fragmented into fiefdoms, its oil industry is virtually paralyzed, massive traffic in illegal weapons is supplying militants around the region and extremist groups such as Ansar al-Sharia, which participated in the Sept. 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, are unchecked.
The Obama administration and its NATO allies bear responsibility for this mess because, having intervened to help rebels overthrow Gaddafi, they then swiftly exited without making a serious effort to help Libyans establish security and build a new political order. Congress might usefully probe why the administration allowed a country in which it initiated military operations to slide into chaos.

Also confirmed that the abuse and torture continue as a common practice in those facilities, particularly in an existing in Misrata, where reported deaths from this cause, as well as other centers in Tripoli, Zawiya and Zintan.
Martin also warned about the tension in different parts of the country and explained various armed clashes in Sabha in March with the death of 150 people and 500 wounded, and others in the southwestern part of Libyan territory, in April.

Morello MRO Powerbike Championship – Round 1.
In less than 24 hours the 2009 racing season kicks of for me. I can't believe it's here already. It seems only yesterday I crossed the finish line at the last round of the R1 Cup at BSB, but it was way back in October. Time flies.
But this time tomorrow I'll be competing in the Morello MRO Powerbike Championship at Brands Hatch with Bemsee. I've been racing with them since 1989 and they celebrate their 100th birthday this year. That's even older than me!
Last year was a tough one and I ended up doing 22-race meetings, which burned me out by the end of season. This year, I'm just sticking to this championship and I'm better prepared and more fired up than ever.
I pulled the rip cord a bit at the end of last season and put on over a stone, but I've been training and dieting since December and am fitter now than ever. I've done lots of MCN testing over the winter, so I'm bike fit and my trusty 2007 Yamaha R1 is in fine fettle.
I'm now back on Dunlop Ntech slicks after a year away from them, which performed superbly when we tested at Brands a few weeks ago. The suspension is spot-on, and the freshly rebuilt engine (by Bob Farnham) is singing. I've got pal and National Superstock racer, Steve Mercer on-hand to give me some Brands track tips over the weekend, so I've got no excuses.
If you're around over the weekend (it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, but rainy on Sunday) comer and say hello. I'm in garage 27, Yamaha R1 number 5.

Turkey lends its support to nuclear disarmament
Friday, April 11, 2014
HIROSHIMA - Turkey has a principal attitude towards nuclear disarmament, said Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as he attended the two-day meeting of the Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Initiative in Hiroshima, Japan.
Davutoglu praised Japan for setting up the initiative in 2010, in conjunction with Australia, to lead international efforts in nuclear disarmament. "It's important for a country like Japan, the first country ever to suffer the effects of nuclear weapons, to lead such an initiative...We all have a common goal in not wanting to see a repeat of Hiroshima."
The U.S. in August 1945 dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan during the final stages of the Second World War.

text: Not Trashy: The Top 6 North American Cities Tackling Food Waste The West Coast and Canada are putting the rest of the continent to shame. August 16, 2013 Steve Holt 6. New York City Gotham's restaurants are some of the best in the world, yet an unacceptable amount of its food ends up in landfills. In 2012, Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a challenge to restaurant owners, as well as all citizens, to divert 75 percent of the city's solid waste away from landfills. And last month, Bloomberg introduced a mandatory program for curbside residential pickup of food scraps, becoming the first East Coast mayor to do so. Photo: Eyes of New York/ Flickr 5. Vancouver If you live in Vancouver—inside the city limits or pretty much anywhere in the metro area—there's a pretty good chance you can recycle just about any scrap of food, including meat, cheese, dairy, bones, fruit, and vegetables. As of May 1, the Canadian city picks up food scraps from all homes weekly and is building a $5.4 million facility to process 50 tons (or "tonnes") of organic waste per year. Cool, eh? Photo: Brent Granby/ Flickr 4. Toronto Like Vancouver, Toronto issues its residents a "green bin" to separate their compostable food scraps. Currently servicing 510,000 single-family households, Toronto's Green Bin Program is now being rolled out to apartments, condos and co-op buildings. They take everything, too—even used cooking oil! Photo: Jamie McCaffrey/ Flickr 3. Portland Yes, Portland issues green composting bins to every one of its citizens and picks up food scraps weekly—Portlandia is a satire, after all. The city's businesses are leading the way, however, with commercial food waste comprising 80 percent of the waste discarded through the composting program. For the food scraps that aren't composted, the Fork it Over! program "links businesses with food rescue agencies to reduce hunger and waste." Photo: Dianne Yee/ Flickr 2. Seattle One-third of Seattle's residential garbage—more than 45,000 tons—is food waste, and residents can now recycle just about any organic matter (even meat and dairy) in city-distributed composting carts. The city also has one of the most informative web pages for backyard composting. Photo: Elden Goldenberg/ Flickr 1. San Francisco Ah, San Francisco. It wasn't enough for the City by the Bay to have the country's best food—it had to go and take top honors for best food waste reduction plan as well. San Francisco's required residents to separate compostables, including food scraps, since way back in 2009. But its trajectory toward becoming "zero waste" started in 1989 with its landmark "Integrated Waste Management Act." Today, upwards of 70 percent of S.F.'s waste is diverted from landfills, a number that is far and away tops in the nation among big cities.

An affordable high quality Matcha

A good quality Matcha that won't break the bank! Granted it is not the usual 30gram size that most matcha comes in but it is still more affordable. It makes a deep emerald green cup, the matcha is super fresh and froths very nicely! All in all very pleased with my purchase. Anything from Rishi tea is top notch, enjoy!

Top quality

This matcha is very good quality. Small amount (20g) but that just means there is less chance of it oxidizing and going brown. Very rich green colour which again indicates top quality. Don't get this if you are planning on adding it to your green smoothies. This is too good for that. It does have a habit of clumping together so a sieve is required to minimise any lumps. And a bamboo whisk is essential! Definitely a huge fan of this matcha.

Humidity 92%
Winds 4.6mph
Jun 10, 2014 10:18 PM by Chief Meteorologist Bill Meck
The line of thunderstorms produced sporadic wind damage concentrated in southeastern quarter of Kentucky. As of 10:00 there were about 4 dozen reports across our part of Kentucky. Most of the damage was trees and branches coming down, but there were a few more substantial property damage reports.
You can trace the most intense cell's path from McCreary County northeast to Wolfe County. Along the way it caused wind damage in Whitley, Laurel, Owsley and Lee counties.
The added sunshine in eastern Kentucky today allowed the atmosphere to become more unstable which was the fuel that particular thunderstorm cell worked off of.
Clean up will continue tomorrow in several communities.

Post-convention opinion surveys are indicating that Mitt Romney is trailing in key battleground states particularly those with large Catholic populations – Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
A national pollster told me last week that Romney's root problem is that he has not been able to close the deal with blue-collar Catholic voters. The 6 percent undecided in the national polls are predominantly white working-class Catholics who dislike Obama, but can't bring themselves to cozy up to Romney. And without their support Romney can't capture the 270 electoral votes required to win in November.
A recent Gallup poll shows Catholics in the aggregate splitting 47-46 in favor of the president. But that's an aggregate figure that doesn't tell us very much.
The Catholic Association's National Catholic Election Survey conducted by Magellan Strategies from August 19-21 digs a little deeper. On a generic basis, 41 percent of Catholics support Romney, 49 percent Obama, and 10 percent are undecided. Among regular Church attendants – those who go to Mass at least once a week – 47 percent intend to vote for Romney, 45 percent for Obama, and 8 percent are undecided. Cafeteria Catholics break 53 percent for Obama, 36 percent Romney, and 11 percent undecided.
Here are the Election Survey's findings on several key issues (each percentage indicates agreement with the statement):
Since Romney agrees with Catholics on these important issues, why aren't they flocking to his camp? A focus group conducted earlier this year by McLaughlin & Associates of Blue Collar Catholics in Cleveland and Pittsburgh gives some clues.
All the focus group participants voted for Obama in 2008 but were not strongly tied to him and are "up for grabs in November." The group was evenly split between practicing and cafeteria Catholics. None of them had college degrees and their annual household incomes were under $60,000.
These working class Catholics believe real unemployment is significantly higher than Labor Department figures, and that federal spending and debt is out of control. They had mixed feelings about Obamacare in general, but specifically: opposed the federal mandate; were angry over the rising cost of gasoline; and supported energy production from coal and hydrofracking.
While most were not familiar with the Obamacare mandate on religious institutions, after learning the details their support for the HHS mandate weakened, particularly among regular churchgoers.
Finally, most of these voters disclosed that they "are personally and severely affected by the economic downturn and their primary concern is their own economic well-being." Hence, they are very negative about their personal financial plight and "view the national economy as dismal." As they struggle to make ends meet, "they see the poor and unemployed as taking advantage of their hard work by collecting welfare."
Even with these center-right views, blue-collar Catholics are not yet ripe for Romney's picking. That's because they believe that rich people like Romney play by different rules. The McLaughlin focus group respondents said that rich people like Romney "are getting richer at their expense."
The candidate campaigns in the Sunshine State
Romney has seven weeks to dispel the notion that he is an out of touch, Republican rich guy. This is not an impossible task. The groundwork was laid a generation ago by Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. They forged the Republican realignment that included Catholic blue-collar ethnics.
These two men were elected president because they were perceived as protectors of the interests of second- and third-generation ethnics while the Democratic "elitist heirs" of Adlai Stevenson and George McGovern scorned them.
This soft-spoken former Democrat invited Catholics to follow his lead into the Republican Party. Portraying himself as the antithesis of cultural liberalism, Reagan stressed the themes of "work, family, neighborhood, peace and freedom." He told Catholic voters:
The secret is that when the Left took over the Democratic Party we took over the Republican Party. We made the Republican Party into the Party of the working people, the family, the neighborhood, the defense of freedom, and yes, the American Flag and the Pledge of Allegiance to one Nation under God. So, you see, the Party that so many of us grew up with still exists except that today it's called the Republican Party.
If Romney does not move fast to execute a plan to reach out to these Catholic voters, he will blow the election on November 6 and go down as the Tom Dewey of our age.

Daewoo Maintenance and Repair
I took some advice from a friend to use carb cleaner to see if the motor will start and surprisingly it did. But obviously it died out after I stopped spraying.
So what does this tell me? That the timing is in fact ok? or could it be clogged Inj or bad FPR?
IMO It seems that there isn't enough fuel getting to the motor. What yall think.
The motor sounds good when it was running on Carb cleaner.
Just to update I changed the Injectors, FPR, and another CMP sensor for the hell of it.
Still no start.
Wow I changed just about every single part on this car and it still will not start. I've never experienced this in my entire life no wonder they no longer make these cars.
OK All parts changed and checked as of today:
Cranks Freely without abnormal noises.
Healthy Timing Belt with marks lined up correctly.
Fresh New Battery as of July 12 2008
All Fuses and Relays working properly.
New Fuel Filter
New Spark Plugs
New Injectors
New FPR
New CMP
It will not Fire up.
Anyone out there please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I finally narrowed it down it's definitely the fuel pump or related.
The pump turns on but theirs no fuel coming out. Brand new pump with a half tank full of gas. lol this is the weirdest thing.
Why would the pump cycle but no fuel coming out?
I have a problem with my 2000 Lanos. It seems to have started with my disconnecting the O2 sensor w/o disconnecting the battery, I did this when I went to replace the spark plugs due to starting difficulties. When I went to fire it up afterwards, I had nothing; no dings, bells, buzzes, nothing. I popped the hood, made sure the sensor was connected (just looked, didn't touch) and tried again and this time the cart started up okay. Took it to get inspected and it failed due to both O2 sensors reading as "Not Ready" along with the Catalyst, Evap, and EGR. Sooooo, I replaced the O2 sensor at the engine block, added some Sea Foam to the tank and filled it up. My wife took the car out and it began bogging down on her. She would step on the gas and all that would happen is that the engine would seem to lose power. Sooooo, spent another $280 and replaced both O2 Sensors and the EGR. Nothing changed. Took it to a very reputable repair shop and they diagnosed the Fuel pump as being the culprit. Replaced the fuel pump...same result. Check engine light came on and reported the very specific code P0300 (Random cylinder misfire), two days later, it registered P0301 (Cylinder 1 misfire). Had all error codes cleared from the system (at least that is what Autozone said it did), took it back to get reinspected an received the same exact failures!! Could someone help me determine what actually needs to be fixed? The shop that determined the fuel filter needed to be replaced said the ECM may need to be reset and that it may just need to be driven (about 500 miles) to do that. Is this correct?
Here is what has been replaced/repaired so far:
Spark plugs
Fuel filter
O2 Sensor (Engine block)
O2 Sensor (Catalytic Converter)
Fuel Pump
Just a quick update. I checked the power at the pump while cranking it's receiving 11.9-12.0 volts. Which is about right. I also hooked up a fuel pressure gauge since now I'm finally getting fuel to the rail but there's no pressure. I took off the FPR and theirs barely any fuel getting to that side, it just trickles out.
Would there be any other reason why the pump is weak on supplying proper fuel pressure? Is the voltage supposed to be higher? Or is the new pump still bad?
Hey guys it finally started. I got a used pump from the scrap yard. Apparently the Brand spanking new pump from Advanced was defective, go figure. That just shows you that new parts cant always be trusted no matter what anyone says even if it's an OE replacement like the one I got.
Thanks to that one and only guy who replied to my post for helping.
So if anyone is reading this with similar problems I had a weak pump. It did receive the correct voltage but it wasn't pumping hard enough.
woobloos Posts: 12I have a 2001 Daewoo Leganza. When starting the engine while cold, there is a loud vibrating noise. If I rev the engine, the noise stops. I can turn off the engine, turn it back on, and the noise is not there. I can drive the car around, turn engine off and on, the noise is not there. If the car sits for about 4 hrs. or overnight, the noise returns upon starting the engine. It's only there after the engine's gotten cold. I've taken it to a mechanic, they have no idea what it is. Anyone have any ideas? Other than the noise, the car runs great. Thanks.
hotsho111 Posts: 1I've been doing a ton of work on my car this summer and this is the only problem I haven't been able to solve. I get a cylinder 1 misfire when over 3000 rpm at about 75 mph (highway driving only, it doesn't happen in lower gears). The check engine light will come on and will shut off if I don't go on the highway for a few days.
The car still rides smoothly with the light on (i drove it 400 miles over the weekend with the light flashing)
The crankshaft pulley, timing belt, spark plugs and spark plug wires are all new.
There is some oil leaking in the first cylinder but the spark plug itself doesn't have any oil on it.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to try to try and fix this problem?
roninodessa Posts: 2i have a 2000 daewoo leganza, i just put a head gasket and timing belt and replaced the plug behind the water pump on, drove it to get new tires, and to get it inspected, ran fine., drove it back to the shop and replaced the flex part of the exhaust because it had a hole in it, and went to go get it inspected again, stopped at the post office on the way, it was running fine, came back out, it wouldnt start. it wont crank at all, disconnected the battery, and it cranked three times, and then wouldnt crank again, disconnected it again, and it started, and ran then died. then it wouldnt crank again at all, even disconnecting the battery again, and jumping it. the power windows stopped working, no power to them, i rolled them up with a jumper to keep rain out, and the ac does not light up at all when i turn on the ignition, the radio howevewr works great., i took off the wires from the ignition switch, and i can jump to get the radio on, and the car will turnover with a jumper but wont start, i have no clue where to start, to fix the problem, i cant get the ac or the windows to work jumping the ignition wires at all. has anyone had this problem, or know where i can start trying to get it running again?
Hey guys, I am brand new to this and I am a woman who is getting taken to the cleaners. I am having the same problems with my daewoo.. Replaced spark plugs, fuel pump. fuel filter. now it wont start at all. They say it is the the clutch safety switch that is preventing it from starting. And they say it will be another week before part is in. Can anyone tell me where I would find the clutch saftey switch on a daewoo, so I can get it from our local pick and pull, they just got a daewoo in. I can not afford to be without a car another week. PLEASE SOMEONE can you help me with some info. I mean I need to know what to take off , where to find it on the car so I can get the part myself. And believe me I am no mechanic. Thank you
(You know what that is what I have been through and it is costing me a fortune. Now my mechanic says the reason it wont start still is a clutch safety switch. I don't know if this guy is just screwing me over or if this is true.Can anyone tell me if this is true or not.)
The safety switch is attached to the clutch pedal frame under the dash,you may be able to disconnect it and jump the 2 wire together. But be careful, because now the car will start without the clutch being depressed, and if it's left in gear when you crank it it will move on you.
dper299 Posts: 19I have a 2001 Leganza, As you accelarate you here a rattle which sounds as if it's coming from the front of the car for about 2-3 secs at most and it goes away. Car is running great,Just had timing job done @ 57,000 miles. Have had it up in the air and nothing is loose underneath. I did find that the muffler has rattles from inside of it.Could it be possiable that the noise is coming from the muffler,and just resonating thru the car? It only does it when car is moving,won't do it when sitting there in park and reving engine
I have a 2000 Daewoo Lanos 1.5L. The problem is the number one plug gas fouls. The spark plugs have been swapped, new plug wires, new coil pakc, new cam positioning sensor, injections swapped, ecm changed. There is no oil in the water or water in the oil. What else can be done?
Hi my son's 2001 Daewoo Nubira 80,000 miles ran perfect for 4 years. Had the ser pintine belt changed a year or year and 1/2 ago. It just messed up, serpintine belt but messed up engine. It's been in the shop and is now out and running, engine sounds ok, not a lot of power....crank shaft has been replaced and cam. replaced valves, heads, lots.....Anyway I just got it back today and it's just not right. We have lost our owners manual and there was a yellow orange square light on the dash on in the lower left hand corner. It was running a little warm not tooo though.
Could someone tell me if that is the water light? Thanks Esty
Thank you SOOOO much for answering my question. This is my sons car that is running badly after the timing belt disaster...and we finally got it back and is running rough took it to AutoZone and their test told us to replace the cam sensor and tune it up. We had the valves redone and thank God they weren't messed up.
Is this hard to replace as I have purchased it? Esty
mazerunner Posts: 13I own a 2000 Daewoo Lanos S. It's a 5-speed manual 3-door hatchback with 77,000 miles. I love this car. It has never put me down once. I've done all the regularly scheduled maintenance and it seems that my Daewoo is rewarding me as a result. It's not a luxury car by any means, but the car is very reliable. Now I want to upgrade to a Hyundai Sonata, but it wouldn't be prudent to do so until my Daewoo finally dies. Car insurance and vehicle taxes are dirt cheap, so this car is saving me money.
Anyway, I don't have any maintenance issues to speak of. I just wanted to chime in and offer the strongest possible recommendation for this car.
carnut32 Posts: 4I own a Daewoo Lanos. It had a similar problem. I replaced brake pads, and this did not solve the problem. I also resurfaced rotors and this did not help either. Finally the problem got worst to the point as was required to apply a lot of pressure on the pedal to stop the car. In the end I discovered it was the brake booster which was damaged.I n the beginning it started as a small leak, so I thought the brakes were soft, since the pedal was going down almost all the way without me being able to stop the car, then the brakes got stiffer, since leak was increasing, to the point I hear the air hissing out of the booster chamber.I finallywent to my local boneyard and got a good used booster for 70 dollars and I solved the problem.
basias Posts: 1I sure hope someone can help me. My 2002 Daewoo Laganza is falling apart! The passenger door lock has frozen. I was told this cann't be fixed but needs a new locking mechanism. Also, on the same door, the automatic window has become "unspooled" and I need a new one of these too! I want to replace the driver side auto window also, it makes a funny noise. Problem is I can't find replacement parts and dont know what to do or where to turn. The door is unusable, cant be open or closed, its frozen. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Basia

Shakeology Alternative – Why You Should Reconsider
I understand when people discover Shakeology, it is natural to want to find something already on the market that could serve as an alternative. I understand because I did the same thing just out of curiosity. I have never been one to take vitamins/supplements in pill form on a daily basis. It was never something I could remember doing.
I tried taking a multivitamin in shake form before (from a popular nutrition store) but it was so awful tasting, I ended up giving it away. When I learned about Shakeology, I was excited to try it out. Needless to say, I was impressed with everything form the ingredients to the taste. Yet, I still went on my search of a Shakeology alternative.
I visited a couple of popular vitamin/supplement stores in my area. I asked the store clerks about their meal replacement shakes and explained what I was looking for in terms of ingredients. The products they showed me just couldn't compete. They would show me meal replacement shakes that had very little vitamins, no protein, and contained either sugar or sugar substitute. The other option were protein shakes. Except these lacked in vitamins and contained sugar or sugar substitutes. None of the products contained any antioxidants.
If I was going to come close to an alternative, I would have to mix and match so many products, it was pointless. After doing some shopping around, I am happy with what I get in Shakeology. A lot of people search for an equivalent because they are concerned about price.
However, after breaking down the cost of a month's supply, it averages out to about $3 - $4 a shake. If you become a Beachbody Coach, you can get 25% off and make money from reselling it. If you are one of those people looking for a Shakeology alternative - it is time to reconsider. Check out the ingredients list and learn about discounts on my Beachbody products page.

The Continuing Saga and Delicious Misadventures of Wilmer P. Cohen,
Pilgrim, Patriot, Just Plain Joe
There were once three deep sea divers: chief petty officer, a seaman, and a young ensign. They were fishing just off shore in a small boat. The weather got a little colder so the chief said that it would be a good idea to have some hot coffee, but looking around the boat, they realized they forgot the thermos in their van back on the beach. "I'll get it," said the seaman. He put one leg over the side of the boat and walked on top of the water. He returned shortly after getting the thermos.
The young ensign was wide-eyed as the seaman got into the boat. As the chief took the thermos from the seaman, he asked, "There's three of us. Did you remember the cups?"
He didn't bring any extra cups and the chief said, "Hey, that's okay, I'll get 'em." Grabbing the seaman's arm for balance, the chief said, "I haven't done this for a while; help me out, will ya?" The seaman helped to steady him and the chief got out of the boat and walked on top of the water toward shore.
The young ensign couldn't speak in amazement. He watched the chief walk all the way out and walk all the way back very gingerly on top of the water. As the chief handed the cups to the seaman and got into the boat, the ensign finally spoke: "How'd you two do that?" he asked.
The chief and seaman smiled and said in unison, "Hooyah, deep sea!"
The chief poured the coffee but the ensign said, "You know, I really like my coffee with cream and sugar, but I realize we don't have any. I'll go back to the van and get some."
"Are you sure you want to do that, sir?" the chief cautioned.
"Look, chief, anything an enlisted man can do, so can an officer, and then some." The ensign got one leg over the boat gunwhale and as the other came over...
The ensign fell in the water. The other two helped the ensign back into the boat and gave him some towels to dry off. Shivering from the cold he asked, "What happened? Why couldn't I do it?"
"Well, sir," replied the chief, "you've got to know where the rocks are."

FORT WAYNE – Fort Wayne City Utilities officials say outrage sparked among residents outside the city limits was caused by forgetting to include a Frequently Asked Questions insert in a mailer.
Dozens of raucous, angry people appeared for a public hearing at City Council's Tuesday night meeting, wanting to know why they were being forced to connect to City Utilities' sewer system and pay thousands of dollars in fees to do so.
When City Council members – who hadn't yet heard the presentation on the measure – couldn't answer questions, the crowd began yelling at them.
You don't know? one woman yelled. How can you have a bill on the table and not know anything about it? a man shouted. It's baloney! yelled another.
Shell-shocked council members then asked City Utilities officials to try to answer the questions, but they were prepared for the technical details on what they thought was a routine proposal to update connection fees, and it very quickly became clear that residents were under the impression this was something else entirely.
Some believed their water wells were going to have city meters installed on them – at a cost of $254 – and that they would have to pay the city for water out of their own wells.
City Clerk Sandy Kennedy was among those upset.
I'm as frustrated as the people in the audience, she said. My name is on that letter and I had nothing to do with it. We started getting calls Friday and didn't know anything about it.
When City Utilities' Nancy Townsend told the crowd they had nothing to worry about, they jeered, and someone yelled, Get it in writing!
What happened? Officials still weren't certain Wednesday, but it appeared that a mailing they sent out to thousands of people outside Fort Wayne city limits should have contained a Frequently Asked Questions flier that would have told most people that the contents did not affect them in any way.
The proposal is to adjust the sewer connection fees that City Utilities charges for hooking up to sewers outside city limits. Those fees are usually paid by developers building a neighborhood or by homeowners voluntarily connecting because of failed or failing septic systems.
But state law requires that legal notice of fee adjustments be sent to anyone who could be affected – so officials had to send it to thousands of people outside the city's borders.
And since the letter contained only the legal notice, there was no context given for the fees (some are actually going down) – only a map that appears to show most of the county in line to get sewers.
We are already in the process of clarifying things for residents who may have questions about the issue of area connection fees, spokesman Frank Suarez said. A new letter with additional information is in the works and will soon be mailed and posted online.
Suarez apologized for the confusion.
As you know, City Utilities strives to communicate thoroughly with customers through a variety of methods. Our goal right now is to sort out any confusion as quickly as we can, he said.
Officials said the matter should have been completely routine. Even the fee for a meter installed on a well is only for people who are already sewer customers and pay a flat fee. If those customers choose to have a water meter installed on their well, that water usage will be used to calculate their sewer charges.
The fee is not new; it is being raised to reflect the cost of the meter and installation, and customers are not charged for water use out of their own wells.
Suarez said officials are revamping the original FAQ to address questions raised by those at the hearing, but until then, the original version is available at www.cityoffortwayne.org/utilities/images/stories/docs/FAQ_AC_Fee_mailing.pdf.
Council members voted 8-0 to hold the measure for two weeks so officials could sort out the confusion and answer residents' questions.

The Seattle Children's Museum is completing a new Sound Transit Station exhibit that will give kids a chance to learn about public transit and picture the excitement of riding — or operating — a train.
RELATED: "Pa. transit scavenger hunt educates children"
"This exhibit will help inspire the next generation to ride and, we hope, continue to expand Sound Transit's light rail network," said Sound Transit Board Chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine. "What kid doesn't love a train? It's today's kids who will reap the greatest benefits from the congestion-free light rail system that Sound Transit is building today." The exhibit is currently open in a testing phase. Enabled by $9,600 in Sound Transit funding, the exhibit welcomes kids to step up to a large train table to drive a replica of the Sound Transit lines. Families can also stop for a photo opportunity, capturing themselves "inside" a Sound Transit train. Zap Gridlock, Sound Transit's traffic-fighting superhero mascot, will be on hand. "We appreciate the team at Sound Transit, who not only provided financial support for this renovation, but worked with our team to create a learning environment," said Seattle Children's Museum Executive Director Donna Marie Bertrand. "Trains and transportation are not only fascinating to kids and adults alike, but are springboards for math, science and literacy." Now celebrating its 34th year, the Seattle Children's Museum is a 22,000-square-foot play space where children ages 10 months to 10 years and their families can play and explore.
