Coating Materials
Watson Coatings has introduced two new additions to its anti-graffiti line: Aqua-Shield Anti-Graffiti Sacrificial Coating and Armorex Anti-Graffiti Non-Sacrificial Coating.
Both are designed for multiple applications "as a first-line defense against the costly defacement of property and vandalism," the manufacturer reports.
Features and Characteristics
Aqua-Shield (WAC2040006) is a paraffin/water-based acrylic that is designed to wash off of surfaces with 150°F water.
"You simply apply another coat and move on," says the manufacturer. Aqua-Shield is suitable for new or previously painted bridges, tanks, sound barriers, building exteriors or any other structure with ground-level access.
Non-sacrificial Armorex (TP-402HS) is a solvent-based, catalyzed two-component polyurethane designed for excellent UV resistance.
The system is designed to last through several graffiti removals, which require only a 1,500+ psi power washer and ambient-temperature water (no graffiti cleaner). The coating is suitable for any new or previously painted surface, but a test patch over old coatings is recommended to check for compatibility.
Both products can be applied by brush, roll or spray, and Watson says both have undergone extensive lab and field testing on concrete, metal and painted surfaces.
Based in St. Louis, MO, Watson Coatings Inc. (WCI) is a family-owned and -operated manufacturer of industrial coatings. The company specializes in waterborne alkyds, acrylics, epoxies, urethane, anti-graffiti and solvent-based Calcium Sulfonate Alkyd (CSA) Coatings for a wide range of markets.

Forum post of the day: "The Priest Class: Game Design, Philosophy" {WoW}
Mar 7th 2007 8:48AM Although I don't play a priest, I do know that I never see Lightwells used so I think some talent revamp could introduce some fun in the healing tree.
My suggestion would be to remove Lightwell and bump the 41-point holy tree talent to 31-point. A new 41-point talent like "Touch of the Blessed" could give a 5-10% proc chance when you land a healing spell of giving the friendly target a "blessed" state that lasts for 8-10 sec. At that point, the priest has 3-4 short duration buffs to choose from to cast on the "blessed" target. For example, you could cast a offensive buff to increase haste/spell haste rating, a mana regen buff or a armor increase. These buffs could last 30 sec and cause a forbearance-like debuff to the target so it cannot be spammed in raids by multiple priests or be to OP in PvP.
This would probably make things more intresting while offering them so way of bringing battle oriented buffs. I also like the PW options out there and I hope they can be added with future expansions but I doubt you could really see any of those introduced at this point.
Maintenance day café {WoW}
Mar 6th 2007 12:24PM I have a 70 druid and I feel that healing is the only advancement option for me now and since my previous guild broke off I find myself in a less friendly guild and less motivation. I pretty much burned out of healing and had fun tanking 5-mans but I'm now leveling a 42 pally and 34 rogue for kicks until LotRO arrives (open beta at the end of March) and then I'll decide if I keep my WoW account. By all means, WoW is a great game and I still love it but the ups and downs of class "balancing" is a bit frustrating.
I hope druids are still viable but mine is parked in STV and protecting my alts from the evil horde who please themselves at 1-shot kills.
No more class reviews, says Blizz {WoW}
Jan 29th 2007 9:16AM I agree that a feral druid's swipe is simply the best tanking tool to hold 3 mobs in a 5-man. I usually charge in a group and shout to grab aggro right away then Mangle the main target for aggro. After that it's bascially spam swipe until one target is down with a taunt if one target goes for the healer or DPS. I've never had more fun playing a druid.
Warriors can still tank pretty well and have a bit more options when tanking. I can't tank in Cat form but a fury warrior can tank with a good healer. On the other hand, it is true that warriors seem to generate rage alot slower then druids for some reason. When I spam Swipe on three mobs and they all attack me, I'm hovering constantly around 80 rage and maybe go down to 50 if I use Frenzied Regeneration. Then again, even if I can't tank in Cat form, I still dish out alot more damage then a Prot warrior or warrior in tanking gear. So far I completely out-dpsed tanking in Blodd Furnace but I was alot higher level but in the Crypts of Auch. (Terrokar), I had a group of similar levels then me including a rogue, feral druid, and fury warrior and I still topped the DPS. The reason is likely the extra damage I generate with 3+ mobs hitting on me with Thorns... :)

Revenge of the pugs {WoW}
Jan 22nd 2007 9:34AM I've been mostly doing guild runs in instances and it went great except for one where we had two warlocks. It was simply to hard to manage aggro with those two. I did get pug'd into another guilds group on the launch day doing two Ramparts and one Blood Furnace without any trouble.
At #5, althought I greatly agree the blue staff would have seen more use with the priest since you don't need to switch gear for different roles, the staff is still a great healing staff for any druids who needs to heal on occasions. I got it on my first day since it completely owned my Epic dagger + of hand combo. I was healing during that run so I guess it made it more 'okay' but still, it's a fair roll, especially in a PUG group.
An uneasy truce {WoW}
Jan 17th 2007 8:09AM On Burning Blade-US, ganking is very rare since the expansion. The only time I got ganked was while I did the quests from expedition point and it was the most retarded rogue ganker that Horde have on the server (aka Homeless, 60 Rogue).
I've taken a screenshot of at least 30 players, Alliance and Horde around the meeting stone in Hellfire Citadel and other then the random AoE fears for laugh, there was little action... Except a group of Alliance jumped on Homeless the second he appeared. :)

WoW Rookie: Soulstone and you {WoW}
Dec 15th 2006 9:38AM Druids can also use there Battle Rez as a soulstone if they act quickly and the rez'd person knows what to do. Let's say you get a very bab pull and you priest, pally or shaman goes down with the druid still alive. The druid informs the rezzer NOT to accept the rez right away and proceeds to Battle Rez let's say a priest from a safe spot. The druid eventually gets killed and the mobs reset. The priest can then accept the rez and rez the others.
This saved us a corpse run in MC once.
+Damage and healing: what do you mean "up to"? {WoW}
Dec 8th 2006 8:43AM I think the down ranking nerf is not as big as it seems once you start to have decent gear that allows for a bigger mana pool and mana regen. Our main healing priest heals like a monster but with down ranking being less mana efficient, he started using Greater Heals for MC and after Shazz he had close to 500k healing and 650k overhealing. Yet, he never ran out of mana. I, myself a druid, was close to him with 450k healing but only 125k overhealing. His down ranking was far superior then mine since he had +600 healing while I had only +330. I guess I adjusted a bit better to the system or maybe the druid class is simply better suited for the new system.
We actually had 6 or 7 druids last night because we had 3 applicants and a feral druid amongst us. We had three Tree of Life spec'd so that provided roughly a +90/+100 healing to healers in those groups. With stackable HoTs and so many druids, we actually had tanks wielding two-handers in MC. With the changes MC got alot easier although we didn't finish it because of bad pulls and re-learning some encounters without certain addons (Decursive mostly) and we also started later then usual since we killed Onyxia first.
Basically our DPS was far better and our healing too. I also noticed that my heals crited alot more (like twice as much). I never remember criting three times in a row before...
The WTF Factor and the Burning Crusade {WoW}
Nov 30th 2006 8:52AM Actually, I believe Drakk's guard can only be slept if they are 59 elites. Is's random so sometimes they can be 59 or 60.

So that's it, then. After six years the epic Lost comes to an end in pretty disappointing style. If you've yet to see the finale, just take comfort that it doesn't end up all being a dream of the dog. Still, the fairly crushing finale got us thinking about equally epic games that ended on a disappointing whimper. And all the titles below are either guilty of rubbish, anti climactic endings or deeply underwhelming last levels/ bosses.
We love GTA IV. Like love it to the extent that the person writing these words has at last count clocked the story four times. But after the highs of the Three Leaf Clover mission and hours of gloriously daft banter in cutscenes, the final mission is not only a bit of a pain, it also ends on a damp squib of a downer. Sure, you could say its understated, downbeat ending is in keeping with the whole theme of the game. But screw that. We wanted explosions, bombastic car chases set to Goodbye Horses and a celebratory post mission teeeeeeeeeettttttiiiiiiieeeeeesssss party.
Ah, what could have been. No doubt Shenmue creator and all-round former Sega don Yu Suzuki had a bloody stonking ending planned for Shenmue 17 or however many games he'd originally thought he make before he starting the series. Hell, he probably had a fitting finale penned, where Lan Di got his evil ass handed to him by a rocket launcher-wielding, stogie-smoking Ryo. Alas, so confident was Suzuki that he'd get to make loads more Shenmues, the second game barely even features the arch evil doer. Instead, players have to make to with some nonsense about magic swords and mirrors. Guess we'll just have to make do with murdering that ponytailed dick in our dreams.
"Holy half baked final cutscene, Batman!" We really wish Rocksteady had shown one tenth of the enthusiasm for creating a 'not totally shit ending' as they did for delivering a game worthy of Bats. C'mon, he gets the job down, then just flies into the night? It might be in keeping with the Dark Knight's superhero stoicism. But would it have killed them to maybe stick in a couple of gags or even show the Bat breaking down in a quiet moment to reflect on the horrendous night of physiological torture he's had to endure? Oh, it is? Dang.
Gah. This must be the most anti climactic way to take down a Big Bad ever. And the clip above makes Sam's scrap with arch evil doer Emile look epic. When we played through Double Agent, we shot the terrorist no gooder in the head without even realising it, as he ran into a room with a couple of bodyguards. Fisher might be in the big leagues when it comes to sporting fancy goggles. But when it comes to sending his games out with a compelling bang, he's strictly amateur next to Snake and Metal Gear.

So the Thanksgiving business lull comes and goes, and with it comes, hopefully the end of the NBA lockout, which means the players and teams can get back to the business of basketball. One of those key to NBA success is Kobe…as in the Lakers Kobe Bryant, and in many ways how his season goes can help determine the business success of many. Lots of questions to be answered in LA this winter with the Lakers, but the Kobe brand should continue strong.
However this past week brought the continued unique emergence of yet another Kobe…competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi. The thin, energenetic Japanese native helped establish the world of competitive eating in the world of popular culture, as he broke record after record, not just of hot dogs, but of meatballs, hamburgers, whatever was placed in front of him. Kobayashi helped create the competitive marketplace, and with it helped create a brand for himself to travel the world and not just win contests, but draw attention and business away from the eating table. With that brand came challenges though, and as others signed their rights away to compete at select elite events, specifically the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest on July 4th in New York, Kobe did not. As a result he and his team have forged on to find other ways to establish himself and partner with other events to expand his business portfolio.
This past week, the Japanese competitive eater again took another step to prove his brand is bigger than the one July 4 event, staging an event in New York to set the record for most turkey consumer in ten minutes. He and his team partnered with YouStream to show the event live, and Kobe used the event to again talk to his dedication to events away from just the niche world of competitive eating…he used it to talk about helping those less fortunate on the Thanksgiving holiday in his now adopted home, New York. Yes he broke the record, but even more impressive, with little dollar spend or promotion, were the almost 100,000 word of mouth downloads of the video that followed on one of the busiest holiday weekends on the calendar.
What does it say about "brand Kobe"? First it says that yes, competitive eating is still a pretty unique prospect for those who are well…best at it. They can draw crowds, thousands, to watch them ply their gastronomic trade. Second, and more important, it says that Kobayashi has actually created his own brand away from one event, one that has a following and one that, if he can diversify and show his personality away from just eating, could have value to companies looking to connect with a young, unique and very strong personality. It is a great market for brands looking to be edgier and more viral, who can push the envelope a bit in exposure in their quest to reach a larger audience. It is not as much about the act, it is about the personality and the story, and Kobayashi is looking to carve his niche as an endorser, a supporter of causes that can draw views, and one that almost certainly can be bigger than the one event which he helped put on the map.
Maybe down the line one Kobe and meet the other, as both are champions and unique personalities, and both certainly worthy of their own exposure as they ply their trade and draw attention around the world.

Google Ups the Ante: $199 Laptop
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What is the first word that should come to mind when you hear Google (GOOG)? The correct answer is price.
Some examples:Smartphone: The $349 SIM-unlocked, contract-free, Nexus 4, which goes on sale today, undercuts the equivalent Apple (AAPL) iPhone 5 by $300, or almost 50%. 7-inch Tablet: The $199 Nexus 7 undercuts the $329 iPad Mini. 10-inch Tablet: The $399 Nexus 10 undercuts the $499 iPad 4. Laptop: Already the price leader with the $249 laptop, Google's new laptop -- made by Acer -- at $199 undercuts most new Microsoft (MSFT) Windows 8 and Apple laptops by 60% to 80% or more.
It wasn't even a full month ago when Google caused jaws to drop when it announced the $249 laptop made by Samsung. I wrote about it in Google Drops the Neutron Bomb: $249 Laptop and $249 Google Laptop vs. $499+ Windows 8: Fight!.
The new $199 Google/Acer Chromebook laptop has an Intel (INTC) Celeron processor, for which Samsung charges $449 in their Intel-based Chromebook. It's also got a 320 gig hard drive, which seems totally pointless in a computing architecture where only the little stuff you need right now can fit within a few gigs or even less. You can still get 100 gig of storage in the cloud, which Chrome OS makes available to you as you need it.I have yet to actually test this Acer, which was announced only hours ago. I hope to start testing it within the next couple of days. It does seem as if the boot time (18 seconds) will exceed that of other Chromebooks who run 8 to 10 seconds for the same task. Who might prefer this $199 Google laptop over the much more expensive $249 version? (That was a slight joke, by the way.) The answer is probably found in either of these three categories: 1. Those for whom the Intel processor will be faster than the Samsung ARM version. 2. Those who have unusual local storage requirements, such as extreme photo needs or very large loads of huge documents needed locally. The emphasis here is on extreme. 3. Price, price, price: $50 may be what some tip a barista in a week; for others it's a minor fortune. With the material caveat of not having laid my paws on this new $199 Google laptop yet, I can imagine there are still numerous real and potential advantages of the $249 Samsung version over the $199 Acer.

IE 60 - Audiophile Grade Hi-Fi Sound Isolating In Ear Earphones
" After my CX300II's broke it became a frantic search of a replacement that'll provide me the same kind of quality and bass that I loved from my previous pair.

Attending Obama's Inauguration
The Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference (PYIC) in 2009 was something that I will never forget. PYIC is a branch of the People to People Student Ambassador Program. Through this program, I was able to do a home-stay in Paris, France and travel through Europe with students from across the country. On the night of President Obamas inauguration (January 2009), I attended a ball in the nations capital, with other young leaders, in celebration of the event.

Legal separations are distinct from, yet similar to, divorce. As an alternative to entirely dissolving a marriage, legal separation can be used to create new boundaries in a relationship or help a couple explore options prior to proceeding with a divorce.
At Hendrickson & Associates, our clients select the option of legal separation rather than divorce for various reasons. Legal separations are sought for the following purposes:
As you pursue legal separation, keep in mind that you may still encounter the formalities associated with divorce. A lawyer from our firm can be your guide throughout this process to help you accomplish your desired goals.
In a legal separation proceeding, you must make determinations regarding spousal support and
property division. When children are involved, you will also encounter the issues of
child custody,
child support, and
visitation rights. Your life will still be intertwined through the relationship of your child or children. Whether your legal separation is acting as a trial run for divorce or you view it as the beginning stage of divorce, we can help you negotiate a reasonable and beneficial separation agreement.
As a legally binding contract, a separation agreement deals with all aspects of a separation, including child support and visitation issues. As your Orange County legal separation lawyer, our firm can help you make final decisions on the important aspects of this split. As you face the formalities of a legal separation, from filing the petition to a final judgment, we can ensure that your rights are safeguarded.

Interview: Elmira Bayrasli of Endeavor on supporting entrepreneurs in emerging markets
Elmira Bayrasli and her colleagues are always on the lookout for the up-and-coming Bill Gateses and Steve Jobses of developing countries. She handles policy and outreach for Endeavor, a New York-based organization that supports high-impact for-profit entrepreneurs in emerging markets—the enterprising men and women with the potential to create jobs and grow markets in their countries. Endeavor's model assumes that what these nations lack is not entrepreneurial talent, but an entrepreneurial culture—a supportive ecosystem of institutions, networks, and norms to help start-ups achieve their full potential. By nurturing these supports, Endeavor hopes to spur economic growth for the benefit of these societies as a whole.
Bayrasli talked with us recently about the Endeavor approach and how she came to see entrepreneurship as a key to social change.
Dowser: When did you first make the connection between economic growth and social transformation?
Bayrasli: I did an internship with the U.S. Embassy in Ankara. They sent me to rural villages to explore the economic and political conditions of Turkey. At the time there was lots of talk about 'Islamification'—'Is Turkey turning into another Iran?' Working with villagers, I realized that the Turkish people were all about economics, and they supported the Islamic Welfare Party because it addressed their economic and social needs.
You later worked in Bosnia. What did you take away from that experience?
I went to Sarajevo to work for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, whose mission was to administer elections and promote human rights and democracy. I loved Bosnia, but I later realized that I had gone in there with a very naïve attitude. When I was in the field talking to ordinary Bosnians, they kept saying, 'Democracy and human rights are very convenient for you, but here we don't have anything. What we need are jobs. If you really want to help, build our economy.'
How did you arrive at Endeavor?
After three years in Bosnia, I came to New York unemployed, and took a literature class at NYU. A woman there who worked at Endeavor told me about what she did, and I decided to apply for a job.
What is Endeavor's mission?
We want to help create middle classes in countries that currently lack them. Stable jobs are not common in developing countries. Endeavor wants to change that by supporting high-impact entrepreneurs; the very few individuals who we believe can create sustainable, large enterprises that provide employees with skills training, benefits and financial stability.
How do you find these high-impact entrepreneurs?
First, we go to a country and build a board of directors of top business and social leaders. Then, Endeavor recruits a diverse group of 70 to 100 business leaders who assist our entrepreneurs. Finally, we assemble a team of local staffers who understand the dynamics of how entrepreneurship in their country works.
How is Endeavor different from Ashoka, which also provides funding and support to entrepreneurs in developing communities?
Linda Rottenberg, the CEO and co-founder of Endeavor, was actually working for Ashoka in Latin America when she came up with the idea for Endeavor. Ashoka is focused on civil society development and addressing social needs, whereas Endeavor is focused on private sector development. We're trying to transform the markets by catapulting for-profit entrepreneurs to success, and increasing investor confidence in emerging markets.
Can you share a story about an entrepreneur who has found success through Endeavor?
We have an entrepreneur in Brazil named Leila Velez, who runs a beauty salon called Beleza Natural. Beleza Natural makes a hair care product that straightens Afro-Brazilian hair. I asked her why she and her sister-in-law Zica decided to introduce this through a beauty salon. Why wouldn't they mass-market it and put it on the shelves at the Brazilian version of Walmart?
Why wouldn't they?
Well, Leila started Beleza Natural in a shopping area in a poor part of Rio de Janeiro. People said to her and Zica, 'This is not going to work. How many hair salons do we need? We're poor.' But they said, 'We're poor, but we also want to look beautiful.'

- Spreading the gospel: Economist story about Endeavor.
- Endeavor at the Social Enterprise Conference: Linda Rottenberg speaks at the 2009 Harvard Business School's Social Enterprise Conference.
- SWF09 Interview: Nathaniel Whittemore's video interview with Bayrasli.
This was their innovation, and it worked. Now, they have several salons and a manufacturing facility. They employ over a thousand people, and generate about $30 million in revenue a year.
Leila grew up in a favela [a Brazilian slum] and there were no role models for what she wanted to do. Now she has become a role model, and says that being able to give that inspiration to other young women is actually more important to her then running Beleza Natural.
What's your greatest hope?
That we can get people in emerging markets to believe that they can lead large enterprises and generate breakthroughs. Entrepreneurs exist in every corner of the world; it's all a matter of tapping into the local talent and supporting these entrepreneurs so they succeed.
This interview was edited and condensed.

Last night, after returning to his Los Angeles home from the Screen Actors Guild Awards with his wife Idina Menzel at 11:20 p.m., Diggs discovered a burglar in his garage. The intruder – first reported on by TMZ and later identified as Hassan Juma, 20 – attempted to flee, but didn't get very far.
"The suspect tried to run away, but [Diggs] chased him down the street and was able to detain him until police arrived," LAPD spokesman Richard French tells PEOPLE. "At this time, I don't know exactly what he did to the suspect to detain him."

Friends rally around Charlie Rangel
Shrugging the weight of his troubles off his shoulders for a few hours, Rep. Charles Rangel basked in the glow of praise from a host of Democratic officials, longtime backers and New York players at a lush 80th birthday bash/fundraiser at The Plaza Hotel that was closely monitored for mood and attendance in the wake of the House ethics case against him.
Still, the room was packed with longtime backers from Rangel's congressional district, as well as figures such as Kathy Wylde of the Partnership for New York City, publicist Ken Sunshine, election lawyers Jerry Goldfeder and Henry Berger, and activist musician Harry Belafonte. Gov. Paterson's father, Basil Paterson, who's also close to Rangel, was on hand.
Longtime Rangel ally Hazel Dukes, asked about some of the dropouts from the party, said, "Felix Rohatyn doesn't live in the district. The president of Met Life doesn't live in the district!"

Now that you know how to write web copy to support your website's SEO, you're ready optimize that copy even further for use on the Internet. By taking that web copy and adding in some on-page optimization tactics, you'll be able to tell search engines exactly what topics your web pages cover and which keywords are most important on each individual web page.
On-page optimization is all about using your targeted keywords strategically. We talked in my previous blog (SEO How-To: How to write web copy that supports your website's SEO) about doing keyword research, and then using your top targeted keywords two to three times throughout the copy. But, believe it or not, your keywords should be found in more places than just in the web copy.
Here are a handful of how-tos to improve your on-page optimization and take your SEO to the next level:
Headlines – This is probably the most obvious of the tips I'm going to cover. Your web page's headline should become, as it's called in the web world, the H1 within that page. When text is put into a website and accompanied with that H1 tag, search engines automatically know that is the main topic discussed on that web page. Using your most important targeted keywords or search phrases in the headline ensures that search engines know which words you want to rank well for on each individual page.
Title tags – Title tags are also one of the most important ways to tell search engines what topics are covered on individual web pages. You've probably noticed title tags before, even if you didn't know what they were. In the image below, you can see the title tags listed across the very top of the screen in the title bar, as well as in the tab within the browser.
With title tags, you get a little more flexibility and variation than with headlines. For this web page talking about market research services, as shown in the above example, we did our keyword research to find similar and related words and phrases to include. The headline reads "Market Research Services." But, the title tags include: "Market Research Services | Market Research Firms | Market Research Cleveland." These words are directly related to the topics on that page and, using keyword research, we know that these words that have search volume worth targeting. Plus, this gives you the ability to include your company's location in the page, telling search engine exactly where your services are offered.
Alt tags – So, you've picked out the perfect picture to go along with the perfect web copy on your page. Did you know that a picture can help your keyword rank for that page, as well? But, this is only true if you attach an alt tag to the picture to tell search engines what is shown. As search engines crawl and index your webpages, they don't have eyes to see the pictures, but they can read the text that you attach to the image. Be sure to tell those search engines what they should be seeing.
Links to other pages on and off the site – Linking within text to other pages within your website encourages your visitors to continue looking deeper into your site. You don't want them to leave right away, do you? Beyond that, linking within the text to pages that outside of your website sends your visitors to places where they will have access to more resources and information on the topics they're already interested in. Putting links within your web copy, and making your targeted keywords the link itself, and linking to pages with related information, builds credibility for your site with search engines.
This is just a snapshot of a handful of on-page optimization techniques you can implement to improve your website's online rankings. We'd be glad to walk you through these and more. Feel free to leave a message below, or contact someone in our Strategic Marketing Services group by calling 440-449-6800.

The AdWords keyword bidding strategy you choose to implement will depend on what goal you have set for your PPC program. Higher bids are likely to result in higher rankings and more impressions for your ads, but your cost-per-click will increase. Low bids will result in lower rankings and less impressions but your lower cost-per-click will lead to more visitors per day. The best strategy for your business may lie somewhere in between.
Let's take a look at the positives and negatives of each strategy.
Building your brand with high bids and high rankings
If you really want to build your brand using AdWords, having a top ranking may be very valuable to you. Increasing your bid so that your average ad position is between 1-3 will mean that you'll often appear on the left side of the search results page above the organic search results. It's very likely that even though not all searchers will click on your ad, most will at least catch a glimpse of it. Over time, these impressions will add up and help you build brand recognition for your targeted keywords.
The obvious downside to this strategy is that you'll be spending more per click to achieve a top ranking. Keep this in mind when setting your budgets as you can quickly chew through a budget for popular keywords when you ad has a high ranking.
Once your budget has been expended for the day, your ad will no longer show for the rest of the day, meaning that you're no longer reaping the brand building benefits that you were hoping for. One way to combat this from happening would be set your ads to only run during the times of day when you think it is most likely that your target audience will be online. This way, you are maximizing your brand's position at the top of the rankings.
For instance, if you are selling services to homeowners such as landscaping, it may make sense to maximize your presence in search during the evenings and weekends when it may be more likely for people to conduct such a search rather than during the work day. You can test these theories and tweak your campaign for maximum exposure.
Quantity over quality with lower bids
If your goal is simply to bring in the most total clicks to your website over the course of the day, a lower bidding strategy could be the way to go. Targeting a lower average position such as something in the 4-6 range means that your ad is unlikely to show up above the organic results, rather it will appear in the right hand column of the search results.
Your ad won't get quite the number of eyeballs on it that it would have in a higher position, which will likely mean a lower click through rate. This does have an upside though because since you'll be paying less per click and your ads are clicked less frequently, you can likely stretch your budget out through a much larger portion of the day. This can allow you to catch the eye of potential targets you may have missed using a higher bidding strategy.
Testing, testing and more testing
The great thing about AdWords is can always test your campaign and make tweaks to ensure optimum performance.
In the example below, we are looking at the average time spent on the website for a visitor who clicked on a particular ad in various ad positions. Interestingly, the very top position did not result in very much time spent on the site on average. This particular ad performed much better in position number 3. Analyzing this type of data can be a great way to optimize your AdWords campaign and save significant dollars in the process.

Now that you've created your first ad, you're not quite finished with your ad group. Google AdWords gives you the capability to test out multiple versions of your ad and see which version performs the best. Slight changes to the wording of you ad can make a big difference, so do not hesitate to try several different versions.
Here's a sample ad group report and some things to look for:
Click Through Rate (CTR): The higher the CTR, the more popular the ad is with searchers. A lower CTR might indicate that searchers are ignoring the ad.
Average Cost Per Click (CPC): The content of an ad can affect your average cost per click. The more relevant the ad content is to your keyword, the lower your cost per click becomes.
Average Position: A more relevant ad can also improve your position in the paid search rankings.
Conversion (Conv.): This indicates how many AdWords visitors took your desired action (i.e. bought your product, entered a quote request, filled out your contact request form, etc).
Cost/Conversion: This is likely the most important column for any business using AdWords. Very simply, it tells you how much you spent to acquire a conversion from your AdWords account. If, for example, an average quote off of your website turns into a $50 order for your company, and you only spend an average $15 to acquire the quote, you've likely found an ad variation that can be successful for your business.
So, how can you use these numbers to improve your campaign performance? Ideally, you'll want to arrive at the ad that gives you the best mix of low cost per click, good positioning and most importantly, a low cost per conversion. Test out various combinations until you arrive at just the right mix of content for your ad.

Now that you've selected targeted keywords for your AdWords campaign, it's time to start creating your ads. Google has a specific set of character limits that you must follow in each of your ads –
Title (Blue underlined text): 25 characters
Ad Text: 70 characters
Display URL (Green text): 35 characters
There are also a set of parameters around your ad content including:

After taking into account Google's guidelines, it's time to create a compelling ad that will draw targeted clicks to your website. Here's a couple pointers to keep in mind:
The great thing about Google AdWords is that you can run multiple versions of your ad at the same time, so you can compare and contrast which versions are working for you and make adjustments on the fly. In the next update, we'll discuss what statistics to look at to determine what ads are working best for you.

Now that you have selected your pay-per-click keywords, you need to get an idea of how many clicks you can plan on receiving to help set your pay-per-click (PPC) budget on a typical day.
For example, let's say that by using the Google Keyword Tool, you chose the following five keywords (hooded sweatshirts, zip hooded sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts for men, cool hooded sweatshirts, buy hooded sweatshirts) based on your PPC keyword research from Part 1 of this post.
Google provides the Traffic Estimator tool to provide you with an estimate of how many clicks you may receive from a campaign featuring a specified group of keywords at a specific maximum cost-per-click (CPC) and daily budget.
This tool can help you test different max CPC settings for your campaign and see how it affects your projected results. Using the example list of keywords above, here's an estimate of how the campaign could play out with three different settings:
Daily Budget: $50.00
Max CPC: $2.00
Max CPC: $1.50
Max CPC: $1.00
To maximize the number of clicks this campaign receives, starting with a max CPC budget of $1.50 per click seems to be a wise move. To keep total AdWords cost down, a max CPC of $1.00 would still draw clicks but would not run through the entire $50. Finally, if the goal is to be the brand seen at the top of the rankings, a $2 max CPC would result in many ads in the first or second position.
As you can see, the Traffic Estimator tool can be very valuable when planning and budgeting a new PPC campaign.
Now that you've chosen your keywords and set your budget, make sure to stop back next month to learn how to create your first AdWords ads.

Over the next several weeks and months, we'll be running a series of pay-per-click advertising tips to help you get your first pay-per-click campaign up and running or make modifications to improve an existing campaign.
After getting your pay-per-click advertising account setup, the first step to a successful campaign is proper keyword selection. So, how can you find information on the keywords that are going to be the focus of your advertising campaign? Google, of course!
Google provides a great, free resource to get all of the relevant information on the keywords that will form the basis of your campaign – the Google Keyword Tool.
The tool is very easy to jump in and use. Let's say you're in the business of selling hooded sweatshirts online. By typing the phrase "hooded sweatshirt" into the Word or Phrase box, you'll be provided with all of the relevant information on the search term. Here's what you'll find:
Competition: This measures, on a relative scale, how many other advertisers are competing for this same keyword. More competition can often mean a higher cost-per-click for your ads.
Global Monthly Searches: Number of searches, worldwide, occurring each month for this term.
Local Monthly Searches: This defaults to number of U.S. searches, but you can customize to other geographic regions with the "Locations" option on the page.
Google will not only give you information on your selected keyword, but also information on related keywords. In this case, there are more than 800 keyword ideas for the search term "hooded sweatshirt".
Sorting this list by Competition or Local Monthly Searches can help you find additional keywords for your campaign that you may not have initially considered. Sorting this particular list by Local Monthly Searches will quickly reveal that the term "hoodie" is actually searched more often than "hooded sweatshirt", yet it has a lower competition factor. This may make a good keyword to target instead of "hooded sweatshirt."
Sorting the list by Competition (lowest to highest) reveals that the term "sweats" receives over 1,000,000 searches in the US, yet has relatively low advertising competition. This may be an opportunity lower your cost-per-click.
Reviewing this list and spotting opportunities (the list can be downloaded into Excel to help with sorting) is a key tactic to start your pay-per-click advertising campaign.
In our next installment, we'll take a look at estimating traffic and costs from a pay-per-click advertising campaign.

|Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler (; 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. He was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and served as head of state as Führer und Reichskanzler from 1934 to 1945.
A decorated veteran of World War I, Hitler joined the precursor of the Nazi Party (DAP) in 1919, and became leader of NSDAP in 1921. He attempted a failed coup d'etat known as the Beer Hall Putsch, which occurred at the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall in Munich on November 8–9, 1923. Hitler was imprisoned for one year due to the failed coup, and wrote his memoir, "My Struggle" (in German Mein Kampf), while imprisoned. After his release on December 20, 1924, he gained support by promoting Pan-Germanism, anti-semitism, anti-capitalism, and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and propaganda. He was appointed chancellor on January 30, 1933, and transformed the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich, a single-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism.
Hitler ultimately wanted to establish a New Order of absolute Nazi German hegemony in continental Europe. To achieve this, he pursued a foreign policy with the declared goal of seizing Lebensraum ("living space") for the Aryan people; directing the resources of the state towards this goal. This included the rearmament of Germany, which culminated in 1939 when the Wehrmacht invaded Poland. In response, the United Kingdom and France declared war against Germany, leading to the outbreak of World War II in Europe.[1]
Within three years, German forces and their European allies had occupied most of Europe, and most of Northern Africa, and the Japanese forces had occupied parts of East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. However, with the reversal of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, the Allies gained the upper hand from 1942 onwards. By 1944, Allied armies had invaded German-held Europe from all sides. Nazi forces engaged in numerous violent acts during the war, including the systematic murder of as many as 17 million civilians,[2] including an estimated six million Jews targeted in the Holocaust and between 500,000 and 1,500,000 Roma,[3] added to the Poles, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other political and religious opponents.
In the final days of the war, during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, Hitler married his long-time mistress Eva Braun and, to avoid capture by Soviet forces, the two committed suicide[4] less than two days later on 30 April 1945.
Adolf is sometimes refered to as an Antichrist due to the effects he and the Nazi Party had on society and for causing World War II in general. While Hitler is most remembered for his central role in World War II and the Holocaust, his government left behind other legacies as well, including the Volkswagen,[5] the Autobahn,[6] jet aircraft[7] and rocket technology.[8]
Hitler's father, Alois Hitler, was an illegitimate child of Maria Anna Schicklgruber, so his paternity was not listed on his birth certificate; he bore his mother's surname.[9][10] In 1842, Johann Georg Hiedler married Maria and in 1876 Alois testified before a notary and three witnesses that Johann was his father.[11] Despite this testimony, Alois' paternity has been the subject of controversy. After receiving a "blackmail letter" from Hitler's nephew William Patrick Hitler threatening to reveal embarrassing information about Hitler's family tree, Nazi Party lawyer Hans Frank investigated, and, in his memoirs, claimed to have uncovered letters revealing that Alois' mother was employed as a housekeeper for a Jewish family in Graz and that the family's 19-year-old son, Leopold Frankenberger, fathered Alois.[10] No evidence had, at that time, ever been produced to support Frank's claim, and Frank himself said Hitler's full Aryan blood was obvious.[12] Frank's claims were widely believed in the 1950s, but by the 1990s, were generally doubted by historians.[13][14] Ian Kershaw dismissed the Frankenberger story as a "smear" by Hitler's enemies, noting that all Jews had been expelled from Graz in the 15th century and were not allowed to return until well after Alois was born.[14]
At age 39, Alois took the surname Hitler. This surname was variously spelled Hiedler, Hüttler, Huettler and Hitler, and was probably regularized to Hitler by a clerk. The origin of the name is either "one who lives in a hut" (Standard German Hütte), "shepherd" (Standard German hüten "to guard", English heed), or is from the Slavic word Hidlar and Hidlarcek.
Adolf Hitler was born at around 6:30 p.m. on 20 April 1889 at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria–Hungary, the fourth of six children to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl.
When he was three years old, his family relocated to Kapuzinerstrasse 5[15] in Passau, Germany, where Hitler would acquire Lower Bavarian rather than Austrian as his lifelong native dialect.[16] In 1894, the family relocated to Leonding near Linz, then in June 1895, Alois retired to a small landholding at Hafeld near Lambach, where he tried his hand at farming and beekeeping. During this time, the young Hitler attended school in nearby Fischlham. As a child, he played "Cowboys and Indians" and, by his own account, became fixated on war after finding a picture book about the Franco-Prussian War among his father's belongings.[17]
His father's efforts at Hafeld ended in failure, and the family relocated to Lambach in 1897. Hitler attended a Catholic school located in an 11th-century Benedictine cloister, where the walls were engraved in a number of places with crests containing the symbol of the swastika.[18] It was in Lambach that the eight-year-old Hitler sang in the church choir, took singing lessons, and even entertained the fantasy of one day becoming a priest.[19] In 1898, the family returned permanently to Leonding.
His younger brother Edmund died of measles on 2 February 1900, causing permanent changes in Hitler. He went from a confident, outgoing boy who excelled in school, to a morose, detached, sullen boy who constantly battled his father and his teachers.[20]
Hitler was attached to his mother, though he had a troubled relationship with his father, who frequently beat him, especially in the years after Alois' retirement and disappointing farming efforts.[21] Alois wanted his son to follow in his footsteps as an Austrian customs official, and this became a huge source of conflict between them.[17] Despite his son's pleas to go to classical high school and become an artist, his father sent him to the Realschule in Linz, a technical high school of about 300 students, in September 1900. Hitler rebelled, and in Mein Kampf confessed to failing his first year in hopes that once his father saw "what little progress I was making at the technical school he would let me devote myself to the happiness I dreamed of." Alois never relented, however, and Hitler became even more bitter and rebellious.
German Nationalism quickly became an obsession for Hitler, and a way to rebel against his father, who proudly served the Austrian government. Most people who lived along the German-Austrian border considered themselves German-Austrians, but Hitler expressed loyalty only to Germany. In defiance of the Austrian monarchy, and his father who continually expressed loyalty to it, Hitler and his young friends liked to use the German greeting "Heil", and sing the German anthem "Deutschland Über Alles" instead of the Austrian Imperial anthem.[17]
After Alois' sudden death on 3 January 1903, Hitler's behaviour at the technical school became even more disruptive, and he was asked to leave. He enrolled at the Realschule in Steyr in 1904, but upon completing his second year, he and his friends went out for a night of celebration and drinking, and an intoxicated Hitler tore his school certificate into four pieces and used it as toilet paper. When someone turned the stained certificate in to the school's director, he "... gave him such a dressing-down that the boy was reduced to shivering jelly. It was probably the most painful and humiliating experience of his life."[22] Hitler was expelled, never to return to school again.
At age 15, Hitler took part in his First Holy Communion on Whitsunday, 22 May 1904, at the Linz Cathedral.[23] His sponsor was Emanuel Lugert, a friend of his late father.[24]
From 1905 on, Hitler lived a bohemian life in Vienna on an orphan's pension and support from his mother. He was rejected twice by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (1907–1908), citing "unfitness for painting", and was told his abilities lay instead in the field of architecture.[25] Following the school rector's recommendation, he too became convinced this was his path to pursue, yet he lacked the proper academic preparation for architecture school:
In a few days I myself knew that I should some day become an architect. To be sure, it was an incredibly hard road; for the studies I had neglected out of spite at the Realschule were sorely needed. One could not attend the Academy's architectural school without having attended the building school at the Technic, and the latter required a high-school degree. I had none of all this. The fulfillment of my artistic dream seemed physically impossible.[26]
On 21 December 1907, Hitler's mother died of breast cancer at age 47. Ordered by a court in Linz, Hitler gave his share of the orphans' benefits to his sister Paula. When he was 21, he inherited money from an aunt. He struggled as a painter in Vienna, copying scenes from postcards and selling his paintings to merchants and tourists. After being rejected a second time by the Academy of Arts, Hitler ran out of money. In 1909, he lived in a shelter for the homeless. By 1910, he had settled into a house for poor working men on Meldemannstraße. Another resident of the house, Reinhold Hanisch, sold Hitler's paintings until the two men had a bitter falling-out.[27]
Hitler said he first became an anti-Semite in Vienna,[26] which had a large Jewish community, including Orthodox Jews who had fled the pogroms in Russia. According to childhood friend August Kubizek, however, Hitler was a "confirmed anti-Semite" before he left Linz.[26] Vienna at that time was a hotbed of traditional religious prejudice and 19th century racism. Hitler may have been influenced by the occult writings of the anti-Semite Lanz von Liebenfels in his magazine Ostara; it is usually taken for granted that he read the publication (he recounts in Mein Kampf his conversion to anti-semitism being after reading some pamphlets) and he most likely did read it, although it is uncertain to what degree he was influenced by the anti-semitic occult work.[28]
If this account is true, Hitler apparently did not act on his new belief. He often was a guest for dinner in a noble Jewish house, and he interacted well with Jewish merchants who tried to sell his paintings.[29]
Hitler may also have been influenced by Martin Luther's On the Jews and their Lies. In Mein Kampf, Hitler refers to Martin Luther as a great warrior, a true statesman, and a great reformer, alongside Richard Wagner and Frederick the Great.[30] Wilhelm Röpke, writing after the Holocaust, concluded that "without any question, Lutheranism influenced the political, spiritual and social history of Germany in a way that, after careful consideration of everything, can be described only as fateful."[31][32]
Hitler claimed that Jews were enemies of the Aryan race. He held them responsible for Austria's crisis. He also identified certain forms of socialism and Bolshevism, which had many Jewish leaders, as Jewish movements, merging his antisemitism with anti-Marxism. Later, blaming Germany's military defeat in World War I on the 1918 revolutions, he considered Jews the culprits of Imperial Germany's downfall and subsequent economic problems as well.
Hitler received the final part of his father's estate in May 1913 and moved to Munich. He wrote in Mein Kampf that he had always longed to live in a "real" German city. In Munich, he became more interested in architecture and, he says, the writings of Houston Stewart Chamberlain. Moving to Munich also helped him escape military service in Austria for a time, but the Munich police (acting in cooperation with the Austrian authorities) eventually arrested him. After a physical exam and a contrite plea, he was deemed unfit for service and allowed to return to Munich. However, when Germany entered World War I in August 1914, he petitioned King Ludwig III of Bavaria for permission to serve in a Bavarian regiment. This request was granted, and Adolf Hitler enlisted in the Bavarian army.[33]

Catholicism Demands that Our Blogs on Alternatives be Science-Based
We have received numerous inquiries from readers who wonder why our blogs on New Age and alternative health practices seem to put so much emphasis on science. Shouldn't they based on Catholic teaching?
Does T25 Contain Yoga?
M asks: "I really need some guidance. I recently purchased an exercise DVD series called T25. I think there might be some yoga postures included in the workouts especially the stretches. I am really not familiar with yoga, as I have never practiced it. I was wondering two things. First are you familiar with this DVD and if so, is it safe to do? Also, if it does contain some yoga, can I still do the workout but skip the yoga poses or alter them in some way?"
When Dieting Becomes a Religion
SR writes: "The new fad seems to be that everyone seems to be on some kind of diet. (I.e. Paleo diet or Gluten free, Atkins, etc. I understand if someone is diagnosed with Celiac Disease or Gluten intolerances, it makes sense and would be prudent to eliminate gluten, but it seems that more and more people are on diets because they are desperate to lose weight. In some cases I feel some people turn these diets into a "religion". Are they any diets we should avoid (that are New Age?)
The Five Tibetan Rites
TM writes: "My wife and I have enjoyed the five exercises seen here. They make it sound far more elaborate then what it is, merely five exercises 21 times each. At least that is how we see it. Can you comment?"
Does Fitness Need Religion?
AC writes: "I know a Certified Holistic Lifestyle Coach who was trained by Paul Chek. Would you advise me consulting this person who is a Level 3 practitioner from the C.H.E.K. Institute? I looked at his website and blog, and I see things that concern me. Please advise me whether he can be considered New Age or not."
Can We Wear Yoga-Inspired Shoes?
JR writes: "I was on QVC looking for a comfortable pair of ballet flats. Wouldn't ya' know? I landed on what appeared to be a very cute, comfortable shoe that was being featured on air. Oh – it was soooo cute – sooo comfortable. It was a new design by Kalso also known for the "Earth Shoe." The Kalso Rep spoke about how Kelso was a "yogi" and designed one of the "poses" right into the shoe; the body would be in alignment. Is it okay to buy these?"
