Newsletter 2012 Online Marketing, Social Media Tips |
Every month as we publish our monthly newsletter, we will be updating this page with the latest online marketing and social media top tips here: Jan 2012: 2) Complement online with offline - as part of your marketing plan ensure when possible your online marketing activities complement the more traditional offline marketing activities. This way maximising your marketing campaigns as you run them throughout the year, re-enforcing the messages as people see them offline and online. Feb 2012: 4) Promote as Expert - establish yourself above the crowd, there are probably many businesses offering similar services as yourself. One way to distinguish yourself, is as an industry expert in your field and thus draw people in to you over time, known as inbound marketing. Just like I am now in providing these top tips to help establish myself as an industry expert in social media and online marketing. There are people looking all the time for the services you provide, help them choose you over others with useful helpful advice. I often find it leads to referrals as well. March 2012 5) Part of Sales Process - social media and Google can be used as part of the sales process. For example use LinkedIn to collact testimonials and copy these to your website. Then mention them in sales proposals, the prospects may even know one of the people giving the testimonial too, which can only further help build your case as why you over your competitors. 6) Google yourself - ideally you are looking to see at least your testimonial page and LinkedIn profile (if applicable) come up on page one of Google. This way if prospects were to do this (and we have heard a few people doing this) they could research you and feel further reassured in talking to you during the sales process. April 2012 7) Social Media Helps Optimise Websites For Google - Google loves social media as it helps them distinguish active sites from inactive sites to specific keyword seaches. You can use social media to drive hits to your website, mentioning the keywords within the message that contains the link to the site. Not only to the home page, to sub-pages too, which helps Google provide more accurate results. Google is able to pick up on this and so could over time deliver the visitor to the actual page they require on your site rather than them having to browse from the home page to find it. That's even if the home page would come up within the Google results as it might not be rated high enough for the specific keyword search used. 8) Content is King - on your website ensure the content for each page is optimised with the right keywords within it. Remember the content still needs to be readable to the viewer. Keywords can be more than one word, for example for our business "social media" is a keyword. Then ensure the page title, the sub-page link, meta description and meta keywords all mention some or all of the specific keywords too (where applicable). You can also be location specific, e.g. "social media training exeter" is a keyword that we would use for the sub-page that is about social media training in Exeter. May 2012 9) Draw Your Customer Base In - known as inbound marketing. There are likely to be people looking for help on the services or products that you provide every day. Inbound marketing is about applying a strategy to draw these people in to your business so that they eventually become a customer through the know, like and trust process. Social media and search engine optimisation for your website is ideal for this as allows you to be found on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well the Google search engine. 10) Online Advertising Can Help Here Too - within the Google search engine, Facebook, LinkedIn and certain other websites you can advertise your business online targeting your customer base via specific criteria. For example on Facebook you can target by location, age groups, male/female, interests/keywords. As well as within the advert itself making it clear what you are promoting and who too. This way by being able to narrow down your market and really target your customer base you can vastly increase the chances of generating more leads, making it potentially quite cost effective to the budget you might spend on other forms of marketing. June 2012 11) Facebook Ads - following last month's top tip we do recommend if serious about using Facebook for business that you run a Facebook Ad campaign to grow your fan base and in turn your reach within Facebook. Out of the three key tools it is the hardest one to grow a following too and really you have to market the Page for people to know about it and in turn for some of them to like it. The most effective way to do this is to run a targeted ad campaign within Facebook by location, age groups, keywords, interests etc. Like Google Ads it is pay per click so you only pay when someone clicks on the ad and you can set a daily budget to control spend. 12) Keep Posting Content - if running an ad campaign keep posting interesting relevant content that your customer base would find useful to know - 2 to 3 times a week. Otherwise we have seen drop off in conversions from click-throughs to Facebook Pages (from an ad) to people liking the Page, making the ad campaign less effective. However don't over bombard your Facebook Page with too many posts as remember most people on Facebook are using it to primarily keep in touch with friends and family, so they won't like being overbombarded. For this reason we don't recommend automating all Twitter posts going to Facebook. July 2012 13) Use Hootsuite - ideal for when using more than one social media platform - post messages to more than one platform, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn. You can choose whether to post to 1, 2 or 3 platforms. You can even add more than one account from the same platform, for example if you had 2 Twitter profiles. 14) Control What You Post Where - again using Hootsuite is a great way to control what you post and where it goes rather than automating it all. LinkedIn announced recently you can no longer automate tweets across to personal profiles on LinkedIn, which we think is a good thing. Twitter is more conversational based and so you can otherwise end up with mid-conversation tweets on your LinkedIn profile, which won't make much sense to those viewing it. LinkedIn have now stopped this, however you can still use Hootsuite to send key messages to both Twitter and LinkedIn by choosing them when applicable. We would also advise against automating tweets across to Facebook as you can end up bombarding your fan base and turn them off. Posts from a Facebook Page go into a fan's personal news feed, the same area they receive friends and family updates, so best not to overbombard here and again use Hootsuite to control what you send. Aug/Sept 2012 15) Schedule Key Messages - one way to help save time each week is to use social media dashboard apps like Hootsuite to schedule key messages to social media plattforms in one go, whether to Twitter, Facebook and or LinkedIn. This way ensuring messsages are going out on a regular basis via your social media streams. We recommend not to automate every message as otherwise you'll start to not checking your platforms on a regular basis and dropping off from engaging online, where your online followers may then notice. 16) Use Smartphones - each of the key social media platforms have their own app for smartphones and so does Hootsuite. These you can download from the relevant app store on your smartphone. Then send messages whilst on the go, complementing those that you have scheduled. This way you can use dead time, perhaps when on the train, bus, early for a meeting, in a queue etc, to check your social media streams and send messages. This we find works particularly well for Twitter where ideally you need to be sending more than one message every working day (or at least most working days). Oct 2012 17) Tracking Keywords on Twitter - using our favourite social media tool, Hootsuite you can permanently track when particular industry related keywords are used by anyone within a Tweet on Twitter. This we find particularly useful in researching and staying up to date in our industry, which is fast changing, almost every week. Also for some businesses, potentially opportunities too, where you may be able to respond to someone's need that they've expressed via a Tweet and they may not have heard otherwise of your business. 18) Lists - Managing the Twitter traffic - ideal for when following too many profiles and you can't keep up with all the tweets within the main stream you're following and or you have multiple audiences or locations that you want to further focus on using Twitter. Within Twitter or on Hootsuite you can create Lists relating to a theme, industry, location etc and then add relevant Twitter profiles to those lists. This then allows you to focus on the tweets relating to that list. All helping to manage the Twitter traffic, which can otherwise become overwhelming. Nov 2012 19) Photos / Videos - particularly on Facebook, posting photos and videos helps make content much more engaging and catches the eye increasing the chances of your post being seen and read. If you're thinking of creating photo albums on your Facebook Page, do be careful not to create them all at once as otherwise you may end up bombarding your fan base with multiple posts within short timeframe. 20) Competitions - on Facebook there are strict rules to follow otherwise your Page could end up being suspended. You cannot directly run a competition via the banner, posts, notes etc. They have to be run via 3rd party apps that plug in to your Facebook Page, unfortunately this does involve a cost. However this can be a great way to engage your customer base online, gain likes as well as email addresses. Here you can then email market to them as well (perhaps send a regular newsletter). We often recommend Wildfire Apps for running competitions and can help where assistance is required. Dec 2012 21) Message Connections - did you know that LinkedIn can act as your second address book? For those that you connect with on LinkedIn you can send them an email without even requiring their email address. This is a great way to keep in touch with those that you're connected with online. You can organise your contacts too by location and industry, contacting those that fit a particular criteria when applicable. 22) Participate in Groups - within LinkedIn there are discussions groups by location, industry, accreditions, organisations etc. These groups are a great way to reach out to a wider targeted audience online. UK groups often have hundreds or in the low thousands of members. International groups often go in to the high thousands of members. Where else could you do this for free! You can participate by joining on other people's discussions and kicking off your own discussions.

Day of Surgery
What to Bring to the Hospital
When you come to the hospital on the day of surgery, please bring:
- An extra set of loose fitting clothes.
- Any medical supplies you use at home, such as G tube tubing and adapters, special formulas, extra trach tubes, special bottle or nipple, sippy cup, or prescribed medications in their original container.
- A favorite toy or blanket. Children may bring an mp3 player, CD/DVD player, etc. with earphones. Please be sure it is well marked with the child's name.
When You Arrive at the Hospital
You will be assigned to a small room, where you will need to wait until it is time for your child's surgery. The doctors and nurses will meet with you in your room. When your child is ready, a surgical nurse will come out to meet you. The nurse will be wearing surgical scrubs and a paper hat. Your child will either walk, be carried, or ride in a wagon, in a wheelchair or on a stretcher to the Operating Room.
The rooms have limited seating, and we ask that only two people accompany the patient. You should plan to be here most of the day. We also ask you not to bring any other children with you.
Safety is one of our main concerns. The surgical procedure and site will be verified with you before surgery. The doctor, patient, or family member will mark the site if it involves either left or right.
Before Surgery
Your child may be given a medicine to drink to cause drowsiness before surgery. It will also help make it easier for them to you when they are ready to go to the Operating Room. This will be given about 15 minutes before the surgery. At this point, the child will need to lie down, stay in a wagon or on your lap. We also ask you to keep the room calm and quiet for them.
When the surgical nurse takes your child to surgery, they will let you know where you need to wait. If there is not a person at the desk in the Surgery Waiting Area on the 3rd floor, please sign in on the clipboard. After your child has been taken to surgery, it is a good time for you to go get something to eat or drink. However, we ask that you do not leave the hospital and that you notify the receptionist if you are leaving the waiting area.
If your daughter has started menses (is having periods), she will be asked to give us a urine sample for a pregnancy test. This is required by her Anesthesiologist for her safety while under Anesthesia.
During Surgery
After your child goes to surgery, be sure to go to the Surgery Waiting Area and check in with the receptionist. The area is wireless so feel free to use your cell phones or computers in this area. After checking in with the receptionist you may leave the Surgery Waiting Area to get something to eat. Be sure to either take a pager or leave a cell phone number. This is important if the surgeon needs to talk to you during surgery. The Family Support Nurse will be making rounds frequently between the Operating Room, the Recovery Room and the Surgery Waiting Area to keep you informed of your child's surgery and progress. Updates will be given every one to two hours on your child's progress throughout surgery and waking up in the Recovery Room. We ask that families remain on campus during surgery.

World's Most Valuable Short Story Collection Prize Celebrates Its 10th Year
The Munster Literature Centre is pleased to announce that, in its tenth year, the winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award is Irish author Colin Barrett for his debut collection Young Skins. The €25,000 award is the single most lucrative in the world for a collection of short stories and is named after the writer whom W.B. Yeats described as the Irish Chekov. The award has been hugely influential in raising the profile and esteem of the short story form in recent years. Previous winners have included Haruki Murakami, Edna O'Brien, Ron Rash and Yiyun Li amongst others.
The Award is co-sponsored by Cork City Council and The School of English, University College Cork and was founded to encourage publishers to issue more collections of stories by individual authors – and to acknowledge Cork's special relationship with the short story: not only Frank O'Connor but also William Trevor, Elizabeth Bowen and Sean O'Faolain hail from Cork.
The international jury for the award consisted of Irish poet Mathew Sweeney, Anglo-Canadian novelist Alison MacLeod and American novelist Manuel Gonzales. Patrick Cotter, Artistic Director of the Munster Literature Centre selects the jury and acts as non-voting chairman.
Explaining the judges decision MacLeod said of Barrett's debut 'How dare a debut writer be this good? Young Skins has all the hallmarks of an instant classic. Barrett's prose is exquisite but never rarefied. His characters — the damaged, the tender-hearted and the reckless — are driven by utterly human experiences of longing. His stories are a thump to the heart, a mainline surge to the core. His vision is sharp, his wit is sly, and the stories in this collection come alive with that ineffable thing – soul.'
The book was first published in Ireland by the Stinging Fly Press in 2013, and has been published in the UK this year by Jonathan Cape – it is set to be published in the United States by Grove Atlantic in spring of 2015. The book will be published in translation in the Netherlands by De Bezige Bij, in November 2014 and in France, Editions Rivages in 2015.
Patrick Cotter, Award director said: "I'm grateful we can continue to offer this lucrative award in difficult economic times. Huge kudos to Cork City Council and The School of English, UCC for supporting this unique award into its tenth year. As a life-long lover of the short story form I'm delighted the award is going to a brilliant book, but as an Irishman I can take special pride that a book by a new, young, genius Irish writer can hold its own against the best in the world and win the award in this milestone year."

The Cork City – Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award is an annual award of €25,000 and is currently the world's richest prize for a short story collection. The award is in memory of the late Frank O'Connor, one of the world's most renowned short story writers. The award, organised by the Munster Literature Centre and funded by Cork City Council and the School of English University College Cork, is presented in O'Connor's hometown of Cork, Ireland, at the end of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Festival. The prize is awarded to the author of the book judged to be the best collection of stories published in English for the first time anywhere in the world in the twelve months between a first publication date of between July 1st of the prior year and June 30th of the current year. In 2014 we will be presenting the award for the tenth time.
The 15th Cork International Short Story Festival
The festival kicks off on the evening of Tuesday September 16th with a reading by Richard Ford and concludes on Saturday evening with a reading by the winner of the 2014 Frank O'Connor Award. In between over thirty writers from Ireland, Britain, China, Estonia, Jordan and the United States will share their work, partake in discussions and hobnob socially at the festival club. Dylan Thomas Prize winner Rachel Trezise presents a four-morning masterclass in the advanced short story. Novelist and short story writer Nuala Ní Chonchúir will present a four morning workshop on transitioning from the short story to the novel. Estonian poet Kristiina Ehin will present a four morning masterclass on poetry. The full programme will be released in July.
2014 Jury
The jury this year consists of non-voting chairman, Patrick Cotter, poet and Artistic Director of the Munster Literature Centre; Manuel Gonzales, novelist and short-story writer; Alison MacLeod, novelist and short story writer and poet Matthew Sweeney.

My friend showed me her Carousel Horse Cookie Jar and asked if I would like use it on a table. Of course I said yes. I was looking forward to doing a cheerful table. This is what I came up with.
I got the little elephants at a TS for $1.00, as you can see the darker one needed some TLC. The balloons are from a variety store. I'm happy
I used a gift bag for the larger place mats I really like the colors. The green place mats, napkins and pink salad plates are from CTS.The cute napkin rings were on sale at Pier One. Flat ware and glasses were TS purchases, the green depression ware custard cups I've had for a long time.
National Carousel Day is July 25. Maybe this table will make another appearance then. TFLookin . |

Same here....no way can I get them to show up. :o( |
no they were regular size something happened when i edited my post Trying again:
Hope you can see them now Nana |
Nana...glad I kept scrolling down to see your pics. You certainly did create a cheerful table. The Carousel Cookie Jar makes a perfect CP and really sets the stage for this fun table. I never would have thought to use gift bags for place mats...such a clever idea and they look great and pick up all the colors you used. Now with those $1 elephants and balloons ... I'd be waiting for the 'Greatest Show On Earth' to begin!! Glad I got to see this...and Yes...it would be fun to see again in July! jane |
Thanks Jane, I'm glad you kept scrolling too. I contacted GW and they couldn't help, they suggested I re edit and post the pictures again that way. After losing them once I was afraid to try editing again. My friend Janice has the neatest things and I'm so glad she let's me use them. It's funny when I started this table I wasn't sure how it would look. then It seemed to tell me what to do..no I wasn't drinking LOL Nana |
Nana...I've had that problem with Photobucket...espec after editing - it can be so frustrating.. Sounds like your friend is a great source to 'shop her home' !! Whether you were drinking or not (lol)...I can see you had fun . Janice's Carousel Horse - was a great starting point to work around and the fact that you had those cute elephants (which not everyone has)..and the colorful dishes and accessories created a real festive theme. jane |

Oh now...isn't that carousel horse jar the cutest thing!!! Yup, the center of attention for this t'scape, nana! Those gift bag placemats are delightful!!! Great idea! All of this is just whimsical & fun! Cute!!! TFS, nana...glad the pics worked the 2nd time around ... & around & around, uh, just like the carousel! Jeanne S. |
Nana, this is a bright, beautiful table. Love the carousel horse and everything you added to go with. The elephants are sweet. Vaseline dishes and those pink polka dot plates may me go awe!!! Keep up the good work, Nana. Punk |
What a fun table. I love the use of bright colors and the gift bag idea is one to steal. Thank you. |

What a wonderful table! So cheerful and bright. Tho must admit, I am seriously envious of that carousel horse cookie jar!! I have a life-size C. horse in my livingroom, and a small collection of special figurines of them (all PJ's models of real carousel horses made long ago). I'm so glad I got to see the photos! That blasted 'new' Photobucket just really stinks. I totally HATE what they've done to the site!!!!!! hugs, Karen |

How cute is that carousel horse cookie jar!! What a wonderful thing for your neighbor to give you. And your table is very cheery...perfectly matches your centerpiece! Great save! |
Thanks so much everyone. Jane, I'm glad you kept scrolling down too. I was afraid people would stop looking when they saw the first part of the post. I know people are having trouble with photo bucket. I think the problem I had is with GW, because I use Eye-Fi. Thanks, Jeanne, can you hear the Calliope? Punk, I forgot the little green dishes were Vaseline glass. Fun, thank you. Karen, I remember seeing your Carousel Horses. I'm glad you got to see the pics too. You can get on your soap box any time you need to vent. Marlene, I'm so glad you are back and doing well. Nana |

Last week, the Internet exploded over a widely shared video of a New Mexico man, Tim Sappington, shooting a seemingly healthy, young horse between the eyes while cursing out "animal activists." The video is horrifying, and Sappington is under investigation by the New Mexico Livestock Board for animal cruelty.
Sappington worked for the Valley Meat Company in Roswell, New Mexico—the same slaughterhouse that has an application pending with the USDA for permission to slaughter horses for human consumption.
While we mourn Sappington's victim, this callous fan of horse meat may have actually helped our mission more than he harmed it by exposing horse slaughter for what it is: cold and cruel. The video generated a firestorm of public and media criticism about the ongoing efforts to reopen horse slaughter plants in the U.S., as well as interest in the related legislative efforts to prevent it.
Take Action
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act, a bill that will ban the slaughter of horses nationwide. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to urge your U.S. senators and representative to support and cosponsor the SAFE Act.
Join us in supporting The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, introduced in Congress yesterday by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This vital legislation will stop the transport of American horses to slaughter in Mexico and Canada, as well as permanently prevent it from occurring here in the United States. Please ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill and help usher it to passage!
We've known for years that horse slaughter is an exceptionally cruel practice—whether it happens in the U.S. or elsewhere. Due to their biology and their psychology, horses cannot be slaughtered in a commercial setting without tremendous suffering and fear.
We also know that horse meat is not even safe to eat! Horses are fed de-wormers and other toxic drugs that can cause terrible reactions—including death—in people who eat their tainted meat. Consumers in the E.U. are just discovering the dangers they have unwittingly been exposed to, and the scandal grows daily.
In spite of this mountain of damning evidence, the USDA is currently processing an application for a horse slaughter operation here in the United States. Roswell, New Mexico, may soon become ground zero for horse suffering.
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act. This bill will stop the pain and the suffering of equines caught up in this grisly business. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to take action now to urge your U.S. senators and representative to cosponsor the SAFE Act.
In a shocking revelation, the U. S. Department of Agriculture just confirmed that it will process Valley Meat Co. LLC's application for a grant of inspection to begin slaughtering horses for human consumption in Roswell, New Mexico. The confirmation comes just days after furniture giant Ikea removed its signature Swedish meatballs from markets across most of Europe after they were found to contain horse meat.
"Given the current firestorm of outrage over horsemeat entering the food supply in Europe, it is time for Congress to prevent even one more American horse from suffering this terrible fate and stop horse slaughter in the U.S. once and for all," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations.
Despite the fact that an overwhelming 80% of Americans oppose the slaughtering of horses for human consumption, Valley Meat will be the first facility to butcher horses for human consumption on U.S. soil since 2007 if its application is approved. Horses are not biologically suited for commercial slaughter and are difficult to stun before dismemberment. They will endure terrible trauma and cruelty if the plant opens for business.
"If the USDA moves forward with allowing the cruel and toxic horse slaughter industry to enter our country, this administration is leading our nation in precisely the wrong direction," says Perry.
Please Take Action Today!
Please call the White House message line at (202) 456-1111 and urge the Obama administration to stop horse slaughter! Here's all you need to say:
"Please use your power to prevent any horse slaughterhouses from opening in the U.S. and to prevent the slaughter of our horses in other countries. Horses are not raised for food. This industry is cruel to horses and endangers consumers, who are eating a toxic product."
Thank you!
Horses are frequently the victims of cruelty and neglect, but their suffering sometimes fails to grab headlines. In honor of National Horse Protection Day, we'd like to share just one horse rescue we've had the opportunity to support.
Last month, 13 emaciated horses were found living on a rural farm in Vermilion County, Illinois. The horses were all skin and bones. Two were blind, and a third was found deceased on the property.
Luckily, the Society for Hooved Animal Rescues and Emergencies (S.H.A.R.E) stepped in and began the long process of rehabilitating the horses. As soon the ASPCA heard about S.H.A.R.E's incredible work, we gave the organization a $6,500 grant to help pay for veterinary care and food for the rescued equines.
We're so glad to assist S.H.A.R.E in its efforts to help horses! Find out how you can get involved and be a hero for horses by reading our top 10 ways to help equines.
Have you stood up for horses? Tell us about it in the comments!
It's both sad and gross at the same time. After nearly two weeks of trying to reassure the public that Burger King's products were safe, the fast food giant just announced that an internal investigation confirmed that burgers containing horse meat have been sold in its United Kingdom locations!
Rumors of the contamination were first triggered by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland after it found horse meat in the frozen beef burgers of several major grocery suppliers in Ireland and the UK. The contaminated meat is from the Ireland-based processing company Silvercrest, which is a subsidiary of ABP Food Group.
"These recent revelations of horse meat in European hamburgers are proof that the predatory horse slaughter industry isn't worried about who it victimizes—horses and diners are all at risk," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "In addition to the inherent cruelty of horse slaughter, the toxicity of horse meat is a big problem. We've become increasingly aware of all the drugs routinely given to horses that are dangerous to humans and banned for use in animals raised for human consumption."
Take Action!
This incident happened across the ocean, but horses are at risk of terrifying, inhumane deaths at slaughterhouses right here at home: Horse slaughter proponents are taking drastic steps to re-open horse slaughter plants in the United States! Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to urge U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to reject any application to operate a horse slaughter facility in the U.S.
Thank you for taking action!

Speaking with Newsweek's N'Gai Croal, SCEA Phil Harrison talked about how Insomniac's alternate time-line WWII FPS, [Register or Login to view links] would be receiving additional content starting this April, and potentially a sequel as well depending on the longevity of the game.Sponsored Links
The downloadable content, according to Harrison, will extend the current story of Resistance while adding new locations to the game. We imagine that this includes new multiplayer maps as well. Now if this content is well received -- and we don't know how much this additional content will cost -- Harrison says it'll "keep the engagement with the game going between now and should there be a sequel at some point in the future."

It's funny, cos looking at those colour, all I can think is that I'd only ever consider wearing them to a Christmas party or something- and since that has been and gone, I personally have NO need for a colour duo like that, and find it (like you say) odd that they missed the Xmas period by a few weeks?

Genital nonmelanoma skin cancer can be caused by sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV), which is also associated with cervical cancer.
In this study, researchers found that almost 30,000 people -- 22,000 women and 8,000 men -- died of genital nonmelanoma skin cancers in the United States from 1969 to 2000.
The older a person is, the greater their risk of genital nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The findings were scheduled for presentation Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, in Washington, D.C.
"As dermatologists, we expect to see skin cancers induced by ultraviolet light, because sunlight is one of the primary risk factors for the disease," researcher Dr. Martin A. Weinstock, professor of dermatology and community health at Brown University in Providence, R.I., said in a prepared statement.

Hi all, my install was pushed out one week due to the contractor's schedule. Now the weather is expected to be 40-45F during the install but sunny. Do I need to worry about the temperature of the windows during the install? Should they stay in the cold garage until the install so they aren't contracting during installation? Or should I keep them inside until the install?
I'm worried the cold weather might affect the quality of the install...or am I concerned over nothing? Is there a temperature at which it is too cold to install, aside from the contractor's comfort?

I would not worry about the cold weather until it is going to be real cold, like teens or 20 degrees out. Until them nothing to worry about. |

I have the same concern. I'm getting windows installed in 2 weeks and I live in Zone 5. One thing I was told by the sales rep is there is a seal that needs to go around the windows, it sounds sort of like a rubber gasket, and that needs to be at 48 degrees or warmer when installed, however I was told they can be kept inside for a bit before the install to warm them and that should be fine. My other worry is that stucco needs to be used for patchwork on my house. Some stucco manufacturers state stucco needs to be at 40 or higher for 24 hours. I've called 4 contractors here who all said they apply an accelarant to stucco so it dries quicker and it only needs to be above 40 for 4-6 hours. Some companies tape up tarps and use space heaters, or you leave the windows open overnight to keep things warm that first night after the install. I also got their 2 year warrantee on the install in writing just in case the low temps are a problem. Of course the cracking will probably start after 2 years and one week.... |

I would imagine you don't want sudden temperature changes, so they should acclimatise. Otherwise I'm sure things will be fine. |
Well, one window had to be reordered and here it is, 10 degrees outside and my contractor is coming back to install the last window today. What should I be worried about during the cold install? The window is inside at the moment. I figure I'd rather have it shrink when the exterior cools instead of expand when the interior warms. |
- Posted by millworkman (My Page) on Fri, Dec 17, 10 at 9:55
I do not believe one window will be an issue at all, if this is a normal area that has cold winters I am sure he know what to do if he has been in business for any length of time. |
I too am having windows installed within the next couple of weeks, and worry about cold weather installation. I asked the installer what type of caulk he'll use, but he was very dismissive. I'm concerned that the caulk might fail if applied in certain temperatures. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Little Bit!
Facts about Little Bit
- Breed: Maine Coon
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Little Bit's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Little Bit was born about 04/2004 as a neighborhood kitten. She is a Maine Coon mix, with a full, thick and luxurious coat. Little Bit is 'personality plus', is highly affectionate and purrs in delight when cuddled. She likes to play with toys and specializes in getting frequent attention. Little Bit also enjoys watching the outside world through her window, inside.
Other Pets at Country Cats, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Little Bit, a Andover Maine Coon cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maine Coon for sale in Andover, or seeking a Maine Coon cat from a breeder in Andover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Andover already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Andover breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maine Coon breeders who help with Maine Coon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Andover paves the way for another one to be saved.

If you have chinch bugs, you probably have grubs too, and grubs are what damages shrubs, not chinch bugs. Treat with something meant to especially kill grubs. Fire ant and chinch bug killers will NOT kill grubs. Bayer has something called "Bayer Complete" that kills everything. |

Why Warner walked
The reason David Warner walked out of his long-time club Eastern Suburbs? We're told he didn't want to pay annual fees … of just over $500. There has been some political turmoil at the club, with a player-driven ticket, headed by legendary ABC caller Jim Maxwell, taking control at last Sunday's annual general meeting. Ironically, Maxwell's sports broadcasting colleague at Auntie, Easts life member David Morrow, was on the other ticket. Just to make it crystal clear, there is no animosity between the pair over the new direction of the club.

A Time To Speak Out
Posted Under: Identity,Israel/Palestine,Jewishness,Terrorism
Yesterday, at the Institute of Education, there was a long public meeting organised by Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), primarily as a launch for their book of articles "A Time To Speak Out", but also as a forum for debate and discussion amongst Jews about Israel, the war in Gaza, identity, and the relationship of Jews at the edge of the community in relation to community leaders. IJV was established nearly two years ago, and in that time has been offering a platform to dissenting Jews, although admittedly those who get to speak are often of a rather academic bent. The meeting consisted of three sessions: a panel of writers of Time To Speak Out; a presentation from Miri Weingarten of Physicians for Human Rights on attacks on medical aid by the Israeli army during the recent war; and finally a talk by Uri Avnery.
Over the last few years the means by which Jewish people can speak out against the actions of Israel have been greatly augmented in Britain, with groups such as Jews for Justice for Palestinians, Jews Against Zionism, and an internet presence of JustPeace being established, alongside older Jewish anti-Zionist groups such as the Jewish Socialists' Group. In many ways IJV exists in a different space, and rather than being explicitly anti- or pro-Zionist, anti- or pro-Israel, it exists as a body of Jews who condemn the acts of Israel and wish to say publicly that Israel doesn't speak for them. They are relative newcomers to the scene, but they do get media coverage, and as yesterday showed, are able to get significant numbers of people to their meetings.
Uri Avnery's speech was by far the most interesting (unsurprising given he has consistently been one of the most forceful and outspoken voices for peace within Israel for decades.) He began by giving a reminder of a time he spoke in London in 1983 alongside Issam Satawi, in a meeting organised by members of the Jewish Socialist Group and Israeli ex-patriates. Satawi was assassinated a number of weeks later in Portugal. He gave an eloquent exegesis on the history of the question of Israel and the current fight for peace. The mood was pessimistic, as he stated that with a new government that includes "real fascists", this is a "dark time for those fighting for peace."
Avnery is interesting because he's so completely serious about a two state solution, which of course is rather less common amongst Western lefties. But in saying this, he also clarifies "most politicians who talk about a two state solution in Israel don't mean it; they mean something different… Any politician who talks about two states seriously is declaring war on the settlers, 250,000 very dangerous people and their allies in Israel." He also says in no uncertain terms "Israel must go back to the borders of 1967, and East Jerusalem must be the capital of Palestine." Such a demand goes far beyond Barak's so-called "generous offer" that Zionists to this day laud over Palestinians for rejecting. His belief in a two state solution is not taken lightly, but he believes that the demand for a single state would lead to the further radicalisation of nationalist separatist movements.
Avnery asks the question "What was the aim of the war?" and almost comically quips "If you go to a shooting gallery, the best way win is to shoot the bullet and then draw the bullseye later." He talks quite candidly about his own experiences as a Zionist terrorist sixty years ago, and how he knows from this that the idea that one could attack the civilian population of Gaza so much that they rise up and overthrow their government is completely ill-founded. Of course he condemns Hamas, but he offers an understanding of how and why Palestinians have been driven into a state of supporting them. You don't hear this sort of thing from Israeli every day, as sadly Avnery is far from the norm. He closed by saying that after the dreadful results of the Israeli election in which "the left became the centre, the centre became the right, and the right became fascist," it is more than ever necessary to reach a solution.
In many ways, though, yesterday's event was rather contradictory. The wish of IJV to not quite have a party line in order to entice a range of Jews to become signatories of their organisation means that often they seem woefully undertheorised. On the initial panel of writers, with the exception of Eyal Weizman (whose wonderful book Hollow Land I encourage everyone to read), the views were not so much contradictory as simply not really present. Underlying a lot of the politics of IJV is the issue of Jewish identity, and sadly many of the speakers, if asked what Jewish identity was about, would give the same sort of answer you see from Zionists: something about memory and oppression rather than anything positive. Just as the feminists and gay groups of the sixties went further than just to try to end oppression in striving to define themselves, diaspora Jews should be doing this too. We don't want the same old negative identity reinterpreted, we should demand a new critical identity. Howard Cooper was particularly unimpressive on this matter.
I'm sure that there's a place for IJV in the movement against Israel's actions, but I'm not sure how far it can really go. On the one hand there are people who say that we as Israel gets more and more violent we can talk more about challenging their actions on humanitarian grounds rather than on politics. In my analysis the opposite is true: Israel's violence is obverse of its politics, and to challenge what happened in Gaza on purely humanitarian grounds not only weakens our hand, but does a great injustice to the Palestinians we hope to defend. There is a difference between striking a balance and being noncommittal.

A hotel floor manager is the go-to person for the special items and services that hotel guests require.
And while these managers don't get tipped as often as concierges or valets, they tend to get paid more substantially with tips adding about $5 an hour to their wages, according to PayScale.
But don't let the gratuities fool you. The BLS projects that hotel management jobs will see slow growth over the next decade.
