AdWords Tips
Pros & Cons of the New AdWords Opportunities Tab
Last month, Google launched a long overdue revamp of the AdWords' Opportunities Tab. Not only did it upgrade the display to a simpler, cleaner format, but it also made major improvements to the content provided.
The original Opportunities Tab helped advertisers recognize when to expand their keyword lists, raise their max CPC bids, and increase their budgets. Now, Google has incorporated new best practices related to AdWords' most famous brain child, Enhanced Campaigns, as well as the recent changes to the Ad Rank algorithm. Advertisers can expect to find recommendations encouraging them to:
- Implement ad extensions
- Split ad groups into smaller, more relevant groupings
- Adjust bids based on impression share data
Before you head over to AdWords and give it a spin, let's review the pros and cons of the new and improved Opportunities Tab. I'm feeling glass-half-full today, so we'll start by examining the pros.
Benefits of the New AdWords Opportunities Tab: What We Like
Here are some of the reasons I think the new Opportunities Tab in AdWords is a good thing:
It is a secret bullet for inexperienced advertisers.
Small businesses are often hesitant to devote resources to hire a digital marketing agency, let alone an in-house account manager. We often see that paid search campaigns land up in the hands of busy owners or staff members who are unfamiliar with PPC. Taking on an AdWords account is a daunting task, particularly for someone who has no experience in the space. For this individual, the Opportunities Tab is a godsend. It outlines their top PPC priorities and allows them to quickly take action.
It's about time Google does the analysis.
For those of us that aren't statisticians, analyzing AdWords performance can be a headache. Why not leave it to the brainiacs over in Mountain View? Essentially, the Opportunities Tab serves as an automated account manager.
It provides valuable dirt on your competitors.
Much like a Trojan horse, the Opportunities Tab offers juicy details about your competitors' performance and helps you make bid adjustments to get ahead. For example, it may recommend that you bump up your bids on key terms to increase your impression share. To make a case for this change, it will show your current impression share alongside that of your competitors.
It keeps you coming back for more.
The more engaged an AdWords user is, the more likely they are to see positive trends in their account. I suspect there is a direct correlation between AdWords usage and Google client lifetime, making this a win-win for Google. It keeps advertisers happy and ensures that they continue pumping money into AdWords.
Downsides of the New Opportunities Tab: What's Not So Great
Unfortunately, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are definitely a few red flags associated with the Opportunities Tab. Here a few that come to mind:
This could be a dangerous trap for SMBs.
Often, small businesses do not have the capital to hire an in-house PPC manager or expensive agency solution. Many owners/marketing managers take it upon themselves to develop an understanding of PPC best practices to ensure that they manage their accounts successfully. As the Opportunities Tab becomes more prominent, I expect that we will see many SMBs put full faith in AdWords' recommendations, rather than investing the time to learn paid search on their own.
Your opportunities are based on an incredibly small set of data.
Surprisingly enough, AdWords only uses the last 7 days of account performance to produce recommendations. While this up-to-date data may prove helpful when fine-tuning your max CPC bids, typically one week's worth of data is not enough to make a compelling case to change a campaign-level bid adjustment or to divide an ad group. Moreover, using such limited data could skew the impact that Google predicts each change will have on the account, giving advertisers unrealistic expectations.
Google is biased.
Sure, it's nice that AdWords is extending a helping hand to advertisers, but whose best interest does Google really have at heart? The new Opportunities Tab is certainly more advertiser-centric than the original, but it is certainly more focused on account expansion than cost savings. Keep in mind, it does not offer negative keyword suggestions, alert you to costly keywords or recommend budget reductions. Advertisers should continue to carry out these tasks on their own.
The moral of the story is: Take all of Google's recommendations with a grain of salt. Rather than blindly accepting your new "opportunities," take the time to review the information and ensure that you are making the best decision for your account. I'm a big fan of using every tool in the toolbox and I see no reason to avoid the Opportunities Tab. Just be sure to use it wisely.

Small businesses always suffer the most when there are huge changes like this. They always tend to get more from a program that can easily bombard their website with content because they are cheaper. However, those programs can easily be tagged by Google as spams and just like that; they will lose all the efforts they have invested on it.

thanks for reading, Anonymousspookseo!
Wednesday December 04, 2013
Nice article! I'm afraid I'm one of those inexperienced in-house workers assigned to PPC at a small business. When I first noticed the opportunities tabe I was tempted to just blindly do what they recommended; until I noticed that not all of their suggestions were very cost effective. I'm definitely still learning the Google AdWords ropes, though, (why is their interface so unfriendly to the unnaccustomed user?!) so I'm hoping it will help me out in general.
Thursday December 05, 2013
hi brooke, welcome to the world of ppc! i'm glad to hear that you caught google's game before accepting the recommendations. i honestly think the opportunites tab will be helpful for you, as long as you are careful with it. as far as the clunky adwords interface--rest assured that is has only gotten better with time, and will probably continue to. if you're looking for an alternative, you should check out wordstream's software .
good luck! if there are any other topics that you think woudl be helpful for us to cover, please comment and let me know!
Thursday December 05, 2013
New tab is certainly helpful for those who arent pro in Ad-words Management. This part is a complete blessing and disguised
for the new bees and for those who have small business soluitons and cannot deploy a particular resource to it. Now lets
talk about the business here. This is my personal feeling that Google is trying to promote Ad-words by giving
a helping hand by making things easy but how about Negative keywords its not there with this opportunity. Which again
calls for money and eventually a new bee or a pro we all are working for money. Isnt't it.
Thanks for a nice quick Write up.. Your help is much appreciated
Thursday December 05, 2013
thanks for the kudos, miditech! i agree--google is defintiely trying to promote adwords by giving users a more streamlined approach to account management. we've been seeing this more and more in the last few months and i'll be curious to see what else they implement for us!
Thursday December 05, 2013
Great article and some things to look out for.
I like to use Google to "get the dirt" as you say on competitors - lots of free tools that can add value to your marketing efforts.

Jennifer Hudson's Cascading Curls
"This is a beautiful, classic look on any woman," says Kiyah Wright, who gave Jennifer Hudson her feminine, goddesslike style. "It lasts longer on textured, voluminous hair," notes Wright, but those with straight tresses can get it with the right tools and products.
Step one: "After shampooing and conditioning, apply a volume-boosting product to the roots, which will give your hair some lift," says Wright. We like Nexxus Volumizing Root Lifter ($13). If your hair doesn't curl easily, work through some Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Scrunching Gel ($3.99) before drying on low heat with a diffuser. If you have some natural curl, blow-dry normally without additional products, then use a light hair spray throughout to hold the style.
Step two: "Next, use a half-inch curling iron to curl sections of hair, moving from the front to the back. Be sure the hair is wrapped in a spiral form down the iron, which will create the ringlet curls," instructs Wright.
Step three: "Finally, use a fine-tooth comb to tease the roots, and spray on a medium-hold hair spray. I used Warren-Tricomi Style Line Hairspray [$20] because it works even in humid climates," says Wright. "Last, pull the spirals apart with your fingers for a natural look."

Four Paws Walk-Over Wood Safety Gate Customer Reviews
Four Paws Walk-Over Wood Safety Gate 14 14
Great for my Pug! We were looking for a gate that we could keep our Pug out of the laundry room. This is great! She can't go in and I can walk over it while carrying the laundry. August 11, 2013
Perfect for our Yorkie puppy This gate is perfect. We had a different gate before that was too tall and bulky. It kept falling over. I read the reviews carefully before purchasing this gate and was so pleased when they came. They are the perfect height and are lightweight for moving around. My Yorkie pup is perfectly contained so that she can't come into the kitchen and we can keep an eye on her when we're in there. And honestly, fewer things are cuter than having a puppy stare-down over the fence! May 16, 2014
Exxcellent Product I bought one of these several years ago, which I use on a master bedroom door. The new one will be used in another area of the home. It is well made, is easy to step over, and is a great product for the price. October 18, 2014
Always arrives broken While these gates look okay and are the exact height that I need, I have yet to have one arrive in perfect condition. I have ordered 4 of these gates, and EVERY one of them has arrived with a defect. One was cracked, and the other three don't adjust properly (the holes for the adjustment parts are drilled to large, and the peice just spins around and doesn't hold tight). They are not worth the over 30.00 that they sell for. September 8, 2014
Excellent solution to keep small pets out of areas you don't want them in. It does the job. Has a small door in the gate that can be left open or closed.nnjust the right height so you can easily step over it. September 5, 2014
I LIke the low step over feature First time we opened the swinging door one of the wood hinge pins broke I fixed this with a drywall screw for the hinge pin September 2, 2014
Eh...(Long but worth the read) So I bought this to keep my dogs out of the cat litter in the laundry room and to block the pet door so my larger dog couldn't come in when I didn't want him in (because I lost the door block oops.) When I opened the first one it was broken the bottom hinge for the door part was snapped (but i'm not returning because I wasn't planning on using the door on that one anyway) My second problem is again with the door it has four stoppers for the walls so it doesn't leave marks on your wall but two of them are right where the door is. You either have to leave the door slightly open, push the stoppers against the door so you can't open it, or not use them at all and have the wood part against the door frame. Overall they are doing their job so far (although I have just installed them today) but I have high hopes for them. Also the size is perfect because these are a couple of moderate traffic areas and we haven't been tripped up by them at all. Would recommend ONLY for places you won't be moving it much (at risk of marks) and if you aren't planning on using the door (or planning on using it ALL the time) July 21, 2014
Can't live without this little gate Just got a small dog and this is just perfect for containing her and lets me walk over it. Saves me time not having to take the old one up and down. The little door makes it perfect for her as well. Well made and I will be able to use for years to come. Great product, great price and fast delivery! June 17, 2014

There is a colorful, creative theme circulating in the life of Beth Young, a wife and mother who understands the importance of making time for arts and crafts.
Young was born in Chattanooga but raised in Cleveland, where she attended Cleveland High School and took art classes all four years, honing her skills in various artistic mediums. But long before high school, Young had shown her affinity for the arts.
"Play-Doh and a new box of crayons were among my favorite things with which to play," Young recalled. "I loved art as a child. My parents, Sally and Jack O'Grady, were a big influence, because they took me to art festivals and museums and encouraged me to hone my skills. I never knew my biological father. He may have had some talent, but my mother is very creative. She and my dad were always very supportive. My exposure to the arts was a huge factor. That, and buying me all the things I needed to do the art."
After graduating from high school, Young attended Cleveland State Community College and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where she took more art classes and branched out to the medium of clay. She graduated from UTC with a degree in communications and worked for BlueCross/BlueShield of Tennessee until the birth of her daughter Chloe in 2006.
Opting to be a stay-at-home mom, Young continued to use her artistic skills while trying new things such as silk painting, cake decorating, sewing, face-painting, helping design the Allen Elementary School yearbook as well as drawing and painting a background for a children's musical at her church. Although she is skilled in a variety of arts and craft styles, Young admits to being partial toward using watercolors.
"A lot of people don't like painting with water colors, because it's so hard to fix," Young explained. "I think the richness of the colors and the way you're able to blend them makes it easy. For those reasons I love watercolors.
"When it comes to the arts in public education, Young said, "That's hugely important to me. At my daughter's school, the burden to teach art falls on the teachers now. When I was growing up we had a specific teacher who came in once a month to teach us art. But they don't have that any more. It saddens me that the burden falls on the teachers when they have so much to do already. Chloe loves anything creative — coloring, drawing. She's already expressed interest in doing those things. Even my husband is artistic, but he's an accountant. So he doesn't get to do that as much as he wants."
Young said, "I think it's important for everyone to have a creative outlet in their lives — something apart from their work that they can be creative in. I find myself more centered and I enjoy the beauty in the world around me more. It really does make you look at things differently in the world when you're being creative.
"Sometimes it's hard for me get in that creative zone, but then when I'm there, it's like everything just flows and I don't want to stop. I try to do something creative every day. I just created a studio for myself downstairs. It was a spare bedroom, but I just converted it into my art room. Now I actually have a space to go into and work."
Young, who is still in the early development stages of a career in arts and crafts, explained that in the past when friends asked her to create a certain item or paint a picture, she would do so for free. But now she is ready to work for hire.
"Right now I'm working on a project for a friend that's three pencil drawings of her girls' faces up close," she said. "This is my first one for hire. I did some custom art for a friend to match a bedspread she bought. Then I put her girls' names on it. It would be great to do something you love and get paid for it."
Young currently resides in Chattanooga with her husband, Derek, and their 7-year-old daughter Chloe. Her future plans are to create a website to showcase her art and promote her business. For further information, contact Beth Young at 423-715-6821 or email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

amazing! so thrilled for you - it will be amazing. my brother is living in beijing and i cannot wait to go visit him...
Check out the night market in Hangzhou! Have a wonderful time..I went with my my mom and one of my daughters 3 Aprils ago!!
How exciting...hope you post some photos!
Where in China are you going to? I am in love with Shanghai and the Shaolin Temple. Two of my favorite places on earth.
Bargain. Bargain more than you would here. Drink bottled water that you have unsealed. Keep small bills on hand. (So when you shop you can pay and get what you want instead of trying to deal with a salesperson who won't give you change because they're not done negotiating.) Be prepared to be offered a ton of food.
Don't plan on keeping any "souvenirs" from the hotel. Even the keycards. In fact, just make it easy by keeping all towels and extras out in the open when you check-out.
Have a ton of fun!

What method are you using currently to map the shared drives? Not to throw any more complications into the arena but could you assign an Automator sequence to your group in order to map their "~/Music" drive at logon?
I am looking for a way to mount a specific folder (or alias to said folder) on users desktop.
The folder will be one of those in the users home drive, i.e. music, so is available via Finder, but it needs to appear on the desktop at login.
I've 'mapped' network drives to groups, so when anyone in that group logs in, they see a couple of mounted shares, but the way I want to do it, is to create a group, and for that group, the same folder in each users home drive gets mounted rather than have to configure each users account to mount the folder.
So, when User1 logs in, his music drive is mounted on the desktop, the same for User2 and so on, but done at a group level, not account level.
Make sense? How?

Automator is something I've yet to master
Would this be fairly straightforward?
I presume there is no way to do this using WGM then; it does seem to only allow specific shares to be added rather than per user.
I'm glad you seem to have grasped what I want to do as I really didn't think I had explained it that well!
If I understand it right you want to automate the process of mounting a folder or a shortcut to the desktop for each user in a group - if not then i haven't grasped it! haha
I am not familiar with workgroup manager as I don't have OSX Server but if I understand correctly, it allows you to manage what would be 'group policy' objects on a microsoft server environment -
Apple Automator similarly to VBScript allows you to automate tasks such as logon/logoff scripts and it can be done with a kind of WYSIWYG editing format - so for instance to map a folder you would set click drop-down box 1 to open Finder tools, then drop-down box 2 to select 'connect to server' etc. - But of course there is the ability to script processes to maintain efficiency
I'm going to stab a guess that WGM allows integration of Automator files/scripts but I might be wrong and my 2 and 2 together are making 3... haha
Anyway if it does indeed let you execute Automator files then somewhere in the process you would set the folder mounting path to "~/Desktop" and the user's folder to "~/Music" so that your username becomes the variable (~ tilde is used for 'home' variable) and thus the automator file can be run by any of the users in the group to achieve the same outcome
I have no idea if WGM allows integration of Automator tasks though - this is something I will need to explore.
Useful info about ~tilde by the way, that may smooth things through if I am able to enter that as a home variable.
Thanks so far. If I have success, I will of course post back.

ive got this script running for every suer on login (i just saved it under applications) (though it does seem to add every time you run it filling up desktop with folders
Code:set MyName to do shell script "whoami" tell application "Finder" try mount volume "smb://server.domain.local/" & MyName & "$" do shell script "ln -s /Volumes/" & MyName & "$ ~/Desktop" end try try mount volume "smb://server.domain.local/" & "resources$" do shell script "ln -s /Volumes/" & "resources$" & " ~/Desktop" end try try mount volume "smb://server.domain.local/" & "multimedia$" do shell script "ln -s /Volumes/" & "resources$" & " ~/Desktop" end try end tell
If the shortcut doesn't have to be on the desktop, couldn't you just add the ~\Music folder to the dock preferences for the group of users doing the exam in WGM?
Last edited by theeldergeek; 15th June 2010 at 09:38 AM.
See if this works.
Log in as a user in the group. Drag the Music folder onto your dock and then in the plist edit the the line for the music folder to read ~/Music. Once this is done then add the plist to the list of managed preferences.
Alternatively, maybe you could create a launchd using lingon and use the script provided above by sted. Copy the script into a location and hide it and then configure lingon to call the script as part of the launchd process on login?
I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on - thanks.
Apologies for the delay getting back to you. HodgeHi's method was what I was going to suggest. We have different Dock plist's setup for Art, Music, Media, Exams & Evening Classes with each one containing different icons/shortcuts for each group. It works really well.
Give me a clue where I am going to find the plist
The file you need to look for is: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
If you ever want to make changes to the plist in the future you can also use Apple's Property List Editor (which is bundled with their Xcode developer tools package).
By the way, if you end up with duplicate copies of the Downloads and Documents folders in your Dock(s) you will need to remove these entries from your com.apple.dock.plist file using the Property List Editor. You should find each icon/shortcut is listed as a separate "Item" under the "persistent-others" section which controls the right-hand side of the Dock.

Google: Street View cars grabbed emails, urls, passwords
Google has publicly acknowledged that the WiFi data collected by its world-roving Street View cars contained entire emails, URLs, and passwords.
On Friday afternoon, with a blog post, senior vice president of engineering Alan Eustace also said yet again that most of the data is "fragmentary," and that the company intends to delete the data "as soon as possible."
"I would like to apologize again for the fact that we collected it in the first place," Eustace wrote. "We are mortified by what happened." The company has always said that the data collection was a "mistake," saying that code developed by a single engineer was added to its cars although project leaders had no intention of doing so. Independent investigations have said that the data contained emails and passwords as well as home addresses and phone numbers.
In May, it was Eustace who revealed with another blog post that Google Street View cars had been collecting data sent over unsecured WiFi networks, contradicting previous claims from the company.
With earlier public statements, Google had said its cars were collecting only the SSIDs that identify WiFi networks and the MAC addresses that identify particular network hardware, including routers. Google uses such data in products that rely on location data, such as Google Maps.
Privacy authorities across the globe launched investigations of Google's WiFi data collection, and some concluded that the company had violated local laws, including, most recently, Canada privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart. Spain has filed a lawsuit against the web giant. Seven investigations have been completed so far, and others are still pending.
When Eustace first revealed the WiFi payload collection, he said the company would review its "procedures to ensure that our controls are sufficiently robust to address these kinds of problems in the future." And regulators demanded such reviews as well. So, with Friday's blog post, Eustace also laid out the company's new internal policies.

Google admits cars collected email, passwords
Google has acknowledged a fleet of cars, equipped with wireless equipment, inadvertently collected emails and passwords of computer users in various countries, and said it was changing its privacy practices.
The company said it wants to delete the data as soon as possible.
Google announced the data collection in May, but said at the time the information it collected was typically limited to "fragments" of data because the cars were always moving.

One would have to very gullible to believe that Google didn't know it was gathering this type of information. There is probably a cheaper way to find hot spots, using satellites would be my guess. Driving all over the world, where it's allowed with special equipped cars seam like a very costly way of doing such a thing. There is more to this than what is being said.

Being a woman has worked well for me and against me...its a cycle I'm learning to come to terms with. The biggest lesson I have derived in my 28 years is to welcome challenges and seek fulfillment in them. I currently head a reality radio program where people who live with HIV talk about their lives. Their stories (and the stories of others around me) have inspired me to go to film school so I can capture more.

Amy Mayer & Ellen Navarro, both 25
Express Drop (eBay User ID: expressdropchicago)
Projected 2006 Sales: More than $1.4 million
Description: An eBay drop-off store that sells on consignment for individuals and high-end retailers
No Place to Hide: Unlike other young eBay merchants, Amy Mayer and Ellen Navarro, who run an eBay drop-off store, can't hide behind their telephone voices. Most of their customers are older than they are, and so are the students who attend their eBay business classes. "The fact that we're so young piques people's curiosity," says Mayer. "That makes it extra important to present ourselves in a charismatic and confident way."
A Dream Come True: Navarro always wanted to start her own business. "I wrote a business plan in my senior year of college," she says. Mayer and Navarro met while working at a clothing boutique. They talked about starting a business together and decided to open an eBay drop-off store--a new idea in early 2004. They research merchandise the moment the customer arrives and only sell items that will fetch at least $50 on eBay. They get a leg up on the competition by offering personal service and being located at a busy intersection where parking is readily available.
Growing Strong: After only two years in business, Express Drop moved into a 3,400-square-foot warehouse. Navarro and Mayer also started franchising their business concept. "You have to be professional at all times and always be thinking out of the box," says Navarro. "We don't just wait for clients to come to us. We pursue clients that can supply us with clothing. We see every single [entity] as a potential client, from the grandma on the street to Nordstrom."
Chris & Lisa Rush, 30 & 26
HiFiSoundconnection (eBay User ID: hifisoundconnection)
Springfield, Missouri
Projected 2006 Sales: $8 million
Description: Audio and stereo equipment for use at home and in motor vehicles
It's a Family Affair: The mom-and-pop grocery store might be a thing of the past, but many eBay businesses keep their work all in the family. Chris Rush founded HiFiSoundconnection with his wife, Lisa, and employs his younger brother Tony, his brother-in-law Justin Cash and family friend Kevin Kenkel. "It lightens the stress factor," Rush says of the benefits of working with family members. And his team turns around a tremendous number of transactions, considering that the average sale price of an item is $96.
Music to His Ears: In 2000, Rush started buying sports collectibles on eBay. He quickly moved to selling car audio equipment, having installed car stereos since his teenage years for extra money. An initial $10,000 loan from his grandfather helped him during startup. "It started with an extra bedroom in a duplex. I filled that room, filled the garage, and we're now in an 8,000-square-foot warehouse," he says. "It's been a real rocket ride."
Keep the Customer Satisfied: Rush understands his customers because he is so close to them in age. "My demographic is 15- to 25-year-olds, and they are really impatient," he says. "We have to cater to people who click on things and make instant purchases. That generation doesn't want to wait. The biggest motivator for us is providing them with good service." The company recently added a toll-free phone number. "If a [customer] buys something and has problems installing it, we will guide him through the process."
Personal Touch: With its feedback system, eBay encourages sellers to provide prompt delivery and good service. But Rush's motivation goes beyond that. He welcomes hard work and the responsibility of running his own business. He especially likes selling to members of the U.S. mili-tary stationed overseas. "We provide distractions for them," he says. "It's like we're sending them a Christmas present. That's the most rewarding thing for all of us."
Dan Glasure, 31
Dan's Train Depot (eBay User ID: dans.train.depot)
Ocala, Florida
Projected 2006 Sales: $2.5 million
Description: Model trains and train accessories
Needing a Bigger Piggy Bank: Dan Glasure's business experience goes back to age 8. "The first comic book I ever bought was Spider-Man No. 1. I bought it at a garage sale for a nickel. I sold it the same day for $100," he remembers. But that's not all. When the buyer asked Glasure where he had found the comic, he told him, "I'll tell you where the rest of them are, but you have to give me a finder's fee." He got his finder's fee.
On the Fast Track: Glasure started by selling comics on eBay, but "it was not until I traded some comics for a big box of Lego toys and the Legos sold incredibly well that I really saw what eBay could do," he says. Next, he started selling toy trains and accessories: "Today, we are the number-two seller in the whole Toys & Hobbies category on eBay."
More Than Child's Play: These days, Dan's Train Depot has sales of $20,000 to $30,000 each week. That success inspired Glasure to branch out to websites (www.brasstrains.comand www.danstraindepot.com), where he can sell directly to the public, and a brick-and-mortar store, which sells different items for train collectors than those he offers on eBay. With the help of one of his customers who is a professor at a university business school, he drew up a business plan and streamlined his company by downsizing his staff. "Everybody thinks you're not working at all, selling toys on the internet," Glasure observes. "It's a lot of work, but it's definitely more fun than the average job."

I first discovered The Hip Girls Guide to Homemaking blog about a year ago when I was looking for some good homesteading literature to read up on. When I came across Kate Payne's blog I was instantly crushing. The prefect mix of DIY, design, and yummy foods. What more could a boy ask for?
Fast forward a year later and now she's got herself a book, appropriately titled, The Hip Girls Guide to Homemaking. When I received my copy of the book last Friday I began anxiously flipping through the pages and fell instantly in love. The book is split up into three sections: A guide to building a "homey" house, DIY home projects, and cooking in the home (including a fantastic chapter on canning and preserving). It's now Tuesday, and I've just about read the book from cover to cover. It's fabulously written, and almost makes you feel as if you are kicking back over a cup of coffee with Kate Payne herself.
The best part is, the wonderful people at Harper Collins have generously given me a copy of the book to do a giveaway. That's right, you too can own a copy of The Hip Girls Guide to Homemaking, and learn to be just as awesome as Kate.
The rules are simple. Just share your favorite household tip in the comments below for a chance to win. All comments must be entered before Sunday, April 30th 12:00am EST. Good luck, and I look forward to hearing all your hip tips!

Antique Wonder: Edwardian Diamond Ring
The cushion cut or old mine cut diamond is a forerunner of the modern brilliant cut. With a four-sided deep square or rectangle form and rounded corners, it was the typical cut for the 19th century with its hand cut nature displaying a high crown, a small table, deep pavilion and large open culet (bottom). Sometimes referred to as pillow top or buff top, the cushion cut is one of the more fiery and lively of the diamond cuts.
A horizontal profile of five (5) old cushion and old mine cut diamonds of an estimated total diamond weight of 1.00 carats (H-J color range; VS2-SI1 clarity) are platinum prong set in a gallery of platinum and 18k yellow gold. With a brilliance particularly lovely in the romantic glow of candlelight, this classic cushion cut diamond ring has become a look for today and most definitely will set you apart from all the others.
Date: Circa 1900.

Acer won't start, Black screen / Windows failed to start
Can someone please help me? I'm a first-time forum user
I've got an Acer Aspire laptop here that has decided to stop loading/starting up.
When I turn the power button on:
- I can see the Acer logo screen (and also get into setup if I press F2)
- The cursor (_) blinks once or twice
- Then the screen just goes black/blank and stays that way
Twice (when I have left power on at the black screen), I have eventually seen this Windows Boot Manager message (maybe after 5 minutes each time):
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3.Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Unfortunately, I do not have the Windows installation disk.
I have tried using a System Repair Disk (on DVD, burnt from another laptop with same OS)....but got stuck when the broken laptop didn't detect or couldn't read the disk.
I also tried the Alt+F10 system recovery, but after 20 minutes on the "Please wait a moment..." screen, I gave up and turned the power off.
Please help. Thanks.

Win 7 Pro 64-bit
Hello noob and welcome to Seven Forums.
Can you get into Safe Mode via the Advanced Boot Options menu? If yes, you can check for damaged or corrupt system files by running a system file checker scan from an elevated command prompt (option two in the SFC tutorial.) If problems are found, run the scan 3 times and reboot the computer after each scan.
Safe Mode
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Another possibility from Safe Mode is to try rolling back your computer to a date/time prior to this problem occuring using a system restore point.
System Restore
If the above desn't help, one of the Forum experts prepared a troubleshooting guide for failure to start issues.

Thanks for the welcome and the suggestions.
I've tried each of them, and still no luck unfortunately So I've resorted to requesting the previous owner to send down the OS CD.....fingers crossed.
From memory:
- Unable to get into Advanced Boot Options (and then Safe Mode) no matter how many times I hit F8.
- Tried the Windows Defender Online boot CD (from troubleshooting guide), but was unsuccessful in getting the computer to recognize (and boot from) the CD.
Cheers again.

If you'd tried all of the steps as stated then you'd know that the WIn7 installer is provided in Step 5 of Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start along with tool to burn to DVD or write to flash stick. Solving these types of issues requires utter thoroughness, reading everything and asking back questions until you understand fully every step, then reporting back results in full.
How are you burning the WDO CD? Rightclick on ISO to Burn or Open With WIndows Image Burner. Boot it by tapping the Acer F12 key. Does it prompt to "Press any key to boot disk?" If not then it is not downloaded or burned correctly. Try another bootable AV.
Reset BIOS to defaults: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS. While in BIOS setup confirm the HD is detected.
Unplug all other disks and peripherals.

I have the same problem on acer TravelMate 5760G,now I use safe mode with networking.If I find solution,I promise I will comment here

Hi,bro I have solved the problem.First of all,go to system restore by pressing F8 and then Repair Your Computer,then go to system restore,choose "working restore point" and wait for error message,yes,you may get error message about unsuccessful process,but don't worry,restart your acer and then boot with safe mode[with networking or without it] and when you see your desktop,you will get a message about successful system restore then open CMD AND TYPE sfc /SCANNOW,when you finish,restart your PC.It's the way that I know for fixing the problem,I have tried it 5 minutes ago and I am here with "normal boot".If I helped you and you don't have any problem,it's better to update your windows 7 for latest system safety,but remember the one thing,when you go to windows update uncheck the files which have this number 1033 at the end of the code,by this way you will get rid of an activation of your windows again I hope my tips will help you

Why would you need to "get rid of activation for windows again" if you are only running System Restore?
Is this the same version of Win7 which came preinstalled on the Acer? If so then it will reactivate with no problem using the Product Key on COA sticker if ever needed.

What "unofficial Windows?" Are you talking about illegal cracks to activate Win7? Criminal activity is not supported here and discussion of it can get you banned.
Tell your friend to use the Product Key on the COA sticker which came with the Acer to reinstall the licensed version as often as he wants: Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

Progress Update
Thanks everyone for the advice.
I tried all, and each time either got stuck or no results. I have now given to a friend of mine (much more technical than me), who's initial thoughts were that it's a likely hard drive issue. When I get it back, I'll post revelations/results.
