Consumer Behavior Advertising in Book Content Marketing
The three areas of consumer behavior and how they relate to advertising are the substantial, conceptual, and methodological concepts in relation to our study here.
The writing, publishing, and promoting of our eBooks is what we are trying to perfect.
These consumer behavior advertising concepts all relate to the basics of what consumer behavior is as a business marketing concept. It is why we do the things we do.
These are the material and mental aspects of why we do them and how we get them done.
These concepts are related to eBooks because, obviously you are not going to see any links in a printed paperback or hardcover book, so we are sticking with digital books in this case.
Of course, as we all know by now, the King of E-Books in the online world is Amazon.com. They currently have over 2.5 million eBooks on record in their Kindle Direct Publishing system.
As of the middle of July, 2014, we noted that Amazon has exactly 2,660,046 eBooks on file, 626 magazines, 176 newspapers, and 14,044 Kindle blogs. Amazon's Kindle Store receives about 6,000 newly published eBooks each day.
A friend told me recently about how much Amazon sold in product revenue last year, because he is selling products on the FBA Amazon system. He said that they sold over $74 billion worth of products for the entire site.
In any event, let's get back to consumer behavior and why we need to add those marketing pages and links into our eBooks. Consumer behavior is based on the reader solving real world problems that they have in their lives.
So if they have not completely solved the problem they are looking for solutions to, then they will continue reading and clicking on links until their "problem" is solved.
This may not be a problem as we know it, but it could simply be the need to find thorough information on a topic like, bodybuilding, weight loss, gorillas, elephants, spiders, flowers, or recipes.
Maybe the reader is looking for a specific fact or knowledge about why do gorillas or elephants charge people in and around their habitat. Your reader may be looking for a specific recipe that has sage or garlic or onion in the recipe of the book they just bought from you.
These are the things that cause people in general to seek out knowledge in in their lives.
Secondly, the conceptual aspect of consumer behavior is related to relationships. It can be anything in our environment that relates to our problems and issues that reveals how we express ourselves in our daily lives.
The reader is going to not only use all the links in the book's content, but he will pursue those links further if they are related to his cause, even if he has found a solution.
Thirdly, the methodology concept is revealed in how the person goes about investigating these physical or mental problems they may have. They may be looking for certain knowledge about a subject in order to find the corresponding or observational solutions to those problems.
30% of 30 pages is 9. However, remember that you will have your own circumstances and situations about your books that will be different from everyone else.
Figure out how you want your book to look and move on. Use 9 pages as an average for any non-fiction book you write, no matter what the length ends up being.
The main concept is that you need to make sure you provide value to your readers as it pertains to going beyond the regular content of your book.
If you are writing a recipe book, then you should definitely have a bonus chapter for your readers to look up on your website. They should also see a page of your links as an author with your information, so they can understand who you are and where you are coming from in relation your writing styles.
It is a good idea to add the links to some of your competitor's books on the "Recommended Reading" page of your links. Just copy and paste their titles and embed their respective Amazon Kindle Store links into the titles
Why would I include the books of my competitor's links in my book?
You will include your competitor's books because this will give your readers some great objective references.
It also connects their books with your books for more book sales.
The reason is because your books will appear on the Amazon list of the "Customers Who Bought This Also Bought." Therefore increasing book sales for everyone involved.
Top 21 Most Influential Self Publishing Authors & Publishers on Amazon's Kindle Publishing Platform
Revealing The Successful Publishing Entrepreneurs who are Killing it on Kindle with their eBooks, Products and Software Packages!!!
There are many people in the self publishing niche that are doing tremendous things and enjoying great success. They are not only publishing books on Kindle but they are also offering quality products such as digital courses with videos and pdfs, written plots, publishing software and eBook covers.
Colin of Speedy Publishing has taken this a step further with his company's websites at speedypublishing.com and speedypublishing.co. I personally have a lifetime membership to SpeedyPublishing.com which has a ton of video lessons on all different areas for self publishing your books. Colin also has Speedy Publishing.co which is a small publishing house that will publish your book to many platforms at the same time.
Well worth the money for either membership or both if you are just starting to write your own books or if you are a veteran and are looking for other niches to conquer. This is the reason why I put Colin at number one on the list.
His team provides great customer service with the resources to succeed in self publishing. I would like to thank Colin and his team at Speedy Publishing to helping me succeed in self publishing to become the #1 Amazon Best Selling Author that I have always wanted to be.
Tim Castleman has an ever expanding empire of products and books that he publishes on Amazon and other platforms and has secured my complete respect with his products, webinars, and how he does business, which is why he is so successful.
I can personally vouch for everyone on this list below since I have purchased at least one of their products. Tim is number two on this list because of the well rounded and overall success he has shown in different niches and with different products.
You can access one of his most successful launches called "Pump the Brakes" promotions here to see what type of great Kindle Publishing products he creates in order for you to succeed.
Stefan Pylarinos has created a successful self publishing company by publishing his own books and he created one of the most successful Kindle Publishing related products ever with "Kindle Money Mastery." This membership site is one that will guide you in the right direction to be a successful Kindle Publishing author.

Honorable Mention Special Bonus:
FreeBookService.com from JVZoo's best selling list of services. This book service is not like it sounds. Even though they do charge for their services, the word "free" refers to the amount of downloads they can provide for your "free" book when it is on the KDP Select Program on Amazon.com.
They currently have either a 5,000 Free Book Downloads package or a 10,000 Free Book Downloads package for you to choose from in order to get massive amounts of book downloads when your book is available for "Free."
Amy and Deb have numerous products and software programs to be utilized as an author. I have added multiple successful publishing entrepreneurs who have also sold software and book covers.
The reason they are mentioned on this list is, even though they may not actually have a published eBook, they do influence the self publishing world and a new generation of online readers. Joel and Nathan are included on this list as eBook Cover Designers that are very successful.
As this numbered list includes all the top book marketing publishers, it is however not an all inclusive list, so there are many more that you can find online. However, they are given in no particular order after the first two in the list; Colin and Tim.
You could easily arrange these publishers and designers in reverse order as far as their popularity and success in the publishing business. It will be interesting to see the future of self publishing and those that rise to the top. I hope that is you one day!

Richland Golf Center summons clubbers of all stripes with its sprawling, multifaceted swing-honing facility and a staff of ace instructors. Revolving around a central pond, the nine-hole executive course helps players master their approaches with seven par 3s and two par 4s that ensure drivers won't start questioning their self-worth. Clients can groom their game in pressure-free sessions at the 40 all-grass hitting stalls of the driving range, at the 2-acre short-game area, or by enrolling in one many golf lesson options.
The center also encompasses an 18-hole mini-golf course, which eschews gimmicky clowns and windmills in favor of a calming layout with misting fountains and obstacles such as water hazards, bunkers, and out-of-bounds areas. Clients can pair renovated swings with brand-new clubs in the pro shop, which peddles gear from brands such as TaylorMade, Srixon, Cleveland, or enlist the center's experts to regrip their current clubs or replace driver shafts snapped during sand-trap pole-vaulting competitions.
At Riviera Fitness Centers of Madison—a women-only fitness haven—patrons tackle Les Mills group fitness classes, strength and cardio equipment, and one-on-one personal training, all designed to make gals feel comfortable as they forge toward their fitness goals. The onsite childcare staff supervises tykes so moms can cartwheel off to classes such as BodyAttack and Zumba. During Zumba classes, the studio transforms into a club-like dance-party atmosphere, accented with colored lights and thumping Latin-inspired beats. The instructors lead the easy-to-follow dance steps on an elevated stage, allowing everyone to see the right moves instead of getting discouraged and reverting to the Hokey Pokey. Boot-camp sessions fuse cardio and resistance training to tone physiques as campers wield exercise equipment including kettlebells, barbells, and bosu balls.
In addition to getting fit during group training, ladies can seek one-on-one fitness advice during personal training sessions, which are tailored to suit their goals. Riviera Fitness Center also offers tanning, bronzing recently toned bodies for the beach or flexing in front of a mirror.
SportsMed Fitness Center, named one of Tennessee Valley's best gyms by CityVoters, operates 24 hours a day on the ground floor of SportsMed Huntsville Clinic. Members can tone muscles and burn calories with cardio and strength training equipment and group fitness classes such as kickboxing or hatha yoga, or opt for sessions with a personal trainer. New Core Barre classes are fat-burning exercises based on ballet techniques and are designed to increase strength and flexibility and give a lean, ballet-body look. A class schedule is available, and as an added convenience, the gym offers complimentary childcare during select weekday hours.
Owner George Wade wants Steve's Cue and Grill to be a place where regulars and newbies mingle, knock back a few, and clink pool balls on one of the bar's 14 pool tables. As another stripe drives into the corner pocket, bar tables populate with 1/3-pound burgers, chili-slathered hot dogs, and platefuls of nachos and crispy fried appetizers. Guests can savor a philly steak sub or a spicy buffalo-chicken sandwich on the enclosed outdoor patio, peruse the eatery's retail billiards supplies, or surf the free WiFi for variations on the spelling of Steve, such as Stefan, Stephen, and Earl.
During the week, the lot at The Drive-In sits vacant—but it's far from abandoned. A bit before the clock strikes 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, cars start to crowd into empty spots. The carloads of families and couples on date night are there for the feature, which usually includes one kid-friendly movie—think Planes—or one for grownups, such as Wolverine. Plus, audience members can munch on buckets of popcorn as films unfold.
Voted Best Bowling Alley in the Valley by readers of the Valley Planet in 2010, Plamor Lanes houses gleaming floors for rented shoes to squeak over and polished lanes to send multicolored orbs sliding down. Feast on a cheese-laden pizza and quench powerful thirsts with two large drinks, which motivate arms to continue performing twisting trick shots and fuel mouths' attempts to convince rivals that the lowest score wins. Comfortable pairs of rented shoes are included with this package, which can be redeemed during open hours, Sunday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to midnight or Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., except during league play from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Turks are influencing those talks amongst the Shia and Sunnis.
They're not going to be defending Kurdish interests in those talks.

this cannot be the only reason because it's not new. Turkomans
have always been under Turkey's authority. Turkey urged them
to participate in the elections within al-Iraqiya list and
Turkish envoy even decided which individuals would take part
in the lists. Moreover, they do not carry a lot influence in
Iraq to make Zebari worry about Turkey's role.

it's pretty significant to hear from Iraqi FM that Turkey's
regional role is aggressive and concerning. Turkey is used to
be praised by its "constructive" role in Iraq. I am not sure
to which (if any) issue is he referring to but I believe he is
nervous about Turkey's recently intensified efforts to get
involved in gov formation talks. Turkey had meetings with
Jafari, Dabbagh, Bahaddin and Turkoman groups over the past
few weeks.

Iraq policy
Zebari concerned over Turkey's Iraq policy
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has said he is concerned
over the Middle East policies of US President Barack Obama and
Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, particularly
regarding Iraq.
"There is a tragic power vacuum in Iraq. This is the sin
of Obama, who abandoned us. Neighboring countries are
intruding in our politics," Zebari said in an interview with
Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
Noting that he has repeatedly warned Washington regarding the
issue, Zebari said Americans are leaving and Iranians, Turks,
Syrians and others are filling the vacuum. Interventions that
instigate instability are rising and neighboring states are
vying to gain influence in the country, he emphasized.
Zebari, an ethnic Kurd representing the most anti-Saddam
political and social force in the country who has voiced
similar remarks previously, also criticized Turkey's recent
active foreign policy in the region.
Asked how he assesses the rising power of religions groups in
Turkish society, Zebari said this is a serious
problem. "Turkey is intervening in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and
Iraq more aggressively. The results they get are inadequate.
They are unprecedentedly active, unlike in the past. To be
sincere, I think this should be balanced with a contrary
power," the foreign minister said.
In July, Zebari told a group of Washington Post reporters that
one of the primary reasons Iraq has not managed to form a new
government in over five months after its parliamentary
election is heavy and conflicting interference by its
neighbors. "Every country is a player on a different side," he
is reported to have said. The Iraqi foreign minister claimed
Iran and Turkey have emerged as the biggest players and as
rivals inside Iraq.

Did you not get enough Swedish furniture pr0n yesterday with the announcement of Ikea's Uppleva? Well, we've got a slew of new images and some new details for you. As far as specs, it seems that the sets will be available in 24, 36, 40 and 46 inches and all are LED backlit. They'll also all sport WiFi and "smart TV" features including the Opera browser -- except for the 24-incher, which must accept its role as the runt of the litter.

Ana's singles ranking this week goes slightly up, from 210 to 208, but her doubles ranking got quite a lot better this time, she goes up from 430 to 369.
This week Ana is playing Zagreb 25k, both singles and doubles, in singles she'll face the 6th seed Piquion (22 y.o., c-h 177, currently #234), which could be tough. In doubles she and Ani Mijacika will face Njiric/Rogowska for a place in the QF. Tough luck that so our girls will be on both sides of the net, but that way we're at least sure to see some of them further in the tournament
Good luck Ana!

Even if the endeavor isn't successful, imagine how scared shitless the MPAA would be if we could get guys like Ron Paul and Ron Wyden to introduce a bill that would get rid of the Mickey Mouse Protection Act or other such nonsense. Furthermore, if we can convince guys like that to vocally campaign on these issues, it would do a lot towards raising awareness.
I can just see the news report now: "Congressman Ron Paul was found dead this morning in his house in Texas. While an avid critic of the so-called Mickey Mouse Protection Act, and an avid supporter of legislation to overturn it, his body was nonetheless found among singing 128 Mickey Mouse dolls. All 128 dolls were found simultaneously singing 'It's a Small World', which was then proceeded by a maniacal laughter."

Re:So (775 comments)
Atheism ultimately is the argument that "I haven't heard a sound argument for a God from anyone so I maintain the default position of nothing on the subject."
Actually, that's the agnostic position - "There's not enough data for a rational determination of the existence of God, therefore the I hold no opinion as to whether God exists or not". Atheism is a positive assertion of the non-existence of God.
Well, that's the rational definition. The kooks at American Atheists are always pissing themselves about how agnostics are just weak-willed atheists or atheists without a backbone. They play the same kind of trick that Southern Baptists do. American Atheists define anyone who does not have a positively asserted belief in God as an atheist. So, in their view, agnostics, most buddhists, daoists, and even babies are all atheists. It's just a game to make their numbers look a lot larger than they really are.
The reason I say this is like the Southern Baptist strategy is that Southern Baptists will claim in one argument that there are over 1.3 billion Christians in the world. Then, in another argument, they will say that Catholics (about 1 billion right there), Eastern Orthodox and other Eastern churches like the Nestorian and Coptic churches (assuming they've even heard of them since a lot of them don't believe in this place call "outside the USA", unless it's somewhere we bomb, but that's a part of their double-think), Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, Anglicans, and just about everyone else that is not them are not really Christians. They'll claim 1.3 billion Christians in the world and then turn around and say that about 1 billion Christians (Catholics) are agents or dupes of Satan.

Fiat/Alfa Romeo
The Fiats are coming! Maybe. The Fiat most likely to reach our shores is the pint-size 500, which would offer Mini Cooper cachet at a Dodge Caliber price. Standing in the way is the 500's ability to meet U.S. crash standards and the stickier matter of Chrysler's continued existence.
Further down the road and far less certain are several Alfa Romeo models. There's the MiTo (think Honda Fit, but with Italian sexiness instead of Japanese quirkiness) and yet-to-be-designed compact and mid-size sedans named the Milano and the Giulia.
2011 Chrysler 300C
We've seen the next Chrysler 300C, and it's breathtaking. Exterior changes are subtle but very handsome, and the interior gets a much-needed upgrade. The Charger - Dodge's version of the same car - will be upgraded simultaneously, and it's drop-dead gorgeous. These twins prove that Chrysler knows how to share platforms without sharing styling, even down to the interiors. Well, if Chrysler survives long enough for these cars to see production.
2010 Fisker Karma
It's easy to be skeptical: 400 hp, 1000 lb-ft of torque, 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds, better handling than a Maserati Quattroporte, luxury rivaling the BMW 7-series, and better-than-Prius green cred. And all for $87,900. The man behind the machine, Henrik Fisker, insists that his Karma will be at dealers by the end of this year. If Fisker can come through - and if buyers respond - a convertible version is next.

T Allen commented on the blog post Live Blog for #OWS: Day 34, Touring the Other Occupations
Occupy Fort Wayne is still going strong, with about 25-50 committed people occupying Headwaters Park at all times. We received permission from the city to set up fireproof tarps to help shield occupiers from the wind, and have been given permission to use electric burners and crock pots after we were told to remove propane tanks from the park pavillion. There are also roughly 10 tents for occupiers to sleep in. Our march on Saturday, the 15th, drew about 250-300 protesters, which was the figure reported by the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. We're hoping for a bigger turnout this next Saturday, the 22nd, at noon. This level of participation was unexpected, considering how mainstream conservative NE Indiana is.
T Allen commented on the blog post OFA Director Attacks "Firebagger Lefty Blogosphere," says "Paul Krugman is a Political Rookie"
Proud liberal firebagger, here, and continually baffled by the Obushma campaigns penchant for pissing on their bread and butter. I'm not sure how smearing rhetorical dogpiles on the liberal base is any way to win an election in a 50/50 (at bare minimum, probably close to 60/40 more liberal) country. Something tells me this isn't going to end well for Big Billy Boy Dailey, David Plouffe, and Dan Pfeiffer, and Mr. Obushma.
T Allen commented on the blog post It Really Is the Economy, Stupid: Obama Job Approval vs Economic Perception
The only time I've ever seen Obushma angry is when he talks about liberals.
T Allen commented on the blog post It Really Is the Economy, Stupid: Obama Job Approval vs Economic Perception
The tactical errors that Plouffe and Pfeiffer are making are astounding. For all their faults, Rove and Bush had the strategy down pat. Firstly, elections are decided by motivating bases, pure and simple. For all the blustering about America being a conservative country, the numbers and facts simply do not bear this out. America, if anything, is a moderately liberal country, based on polling and economic demographics. It's imperative that the liberal party bring out the liberal base, and conversely that the conservative party bring out the conservative base if either party hopes to win. Bush and Rove understood this well, and spent a great deal of time figuring out ways to motivate and reach their bases. For example, they were able to calculate with mathematical precision that if one owned a snowmobile, there was a 90% chance one would be voting Republican if one made it to the polls. It will take this level of statistical rigor and strategic calculation if Obushma hopes to win in 2012.
But he's already given away the game, shoving Satan sandwiches and fistfuls of feces into the mouth of his base, and then seething with anger when anyone fathoms to question or protest these stunning displays of betrayal, cowardice and idiocy. Obushma deserves to go down the toilet if the greatest advisers he can employ are goons like Pfeiffer and Plouffe, who lack even a basic understanding of electoral politics in America, let alone the fact that he's been behaving like a spineless coward when dealing with the Baggers and Wall Street elites.

It's all relative. =)I only gave personal info to reinforce the point about so-called "postmodernist" voters. Apparently I'm one of those in the group of first-time voters that voted overwhelmingly for O, but largely stayed home in 2010, although I did vote for the dem. candidate in a losing bid out of fear of tea baggers.
T Allen commented on the blog post Late, Late Night FDL: Come Sail Away
Good point. One of my bigger fears is a Tea Bagger or market worshiper making SC and FedC appointments. Obushma did shift the SC to the right by replacing a liberal–Stevens, with a moderate–Kagan. But the shift would've been much sharper had McCain or any generic (R) been making the appointments.
T Allen commented on the blog post Late, Late Night FDL: Come Sail Away
Yep, first vote I ever cast, at the age of 25, was for the O.
T Allen commented on the blog post Late, Late Night FDL: Come Sail Away
That's another interesting data point. The pool of potential dems is far greater than the rep. pool, which is why, as Maddow has pointed out recently, rep. scum are trying to make it harder for traditionally dem. voting groups to actually be able to vote.
T Allen commented on the blog post Late, Late Night FDL: Come Sail Away
Hey hey hello CTuttle,
Yet more confirmation. Even when we have the facts we're still outgunned in the messaging department, since DC and the elite punditry spout their bullshit paeans to bipartisanship and all the "serious" people dutifully follow along. Perhaps if we had a liberal leader who could command the bully pulpit? Wait, wasn't that part of the reason why Obushma was elected?
T Allen commented on the blog post Late, Late Night FDL: Come Sail Away
I generally find DKos useless and only read it if I want to become severely pissed off or hopeless, but there was an amazing post which confirms Truman's Theory of Elections, concerning independent or "moderate" voters that lean Rep or Dem. Basically, the data shows that parties win elections when they motivate their base, and moreover shows that parties that motivate their base capture a larger percentage of self-styled independents. This analysis flies in the face of Obushma and the Obushmabots who claim that bipartisanship is the summum bonum and that compromising at all costs is a political virtue.
Truman's Theory
"I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign." Pres. Truman, 1952 speech

T Allen commented on the blog post LIVEBLOG & LIVE FEED: Obama Speaks at 11:00 am About Debt Ceiling Talks
If the wealthy have benefited and seen their wealth increase dramatically since 2008, while wages for the average worker have declined dramatically since 2008, and the only reason why the wealthy have gained through the crisis has been from government handouts (bailouts) and increased concentration of capital through corporate profits, why is Obushma saying that both the wealthy and the poor should have to pay more, even though the poor will see a greater percentage of their disposable income evaporate than the wealthy after these concessions are made? More importantly, why isn't a reporter asking him that question?
T Allen commented on the blog post "Eat Our Peas" – Obama Pushes for Big Grand Bargain in Press Conference
I tried hard not to listen to what he said, but about 20 minutes into the conference Obushma said that he would be willing to lower tax rates for everybody (yes, even millionaires and billionaires) as long as the tax base was broadened. Did anyone else catch that? It's a pretty stunning statement, as it means that the poorest and most vulnerable would suffer a horribly regressive change in the tax code.
T Allen commented on the blog post Obama Pushing for the Biggest Possible Austerity Package
Obama just said that he would be willing to lower tax rates on everybody, as long as the tax base was broadened. He made that statement around 11:23. What "broadening the tax base" means is that those who currently don't pay income taxes would have to pay taxes, the poorest of Americans, constituting a shift toward more regressive tax policies. I had no idea in 2008 that this was what I was voting for.
T Allen commented on the blog post Getting "Tough" in the Debt Ceiling Debate Means More Than Words
Interesting quote. I thought it was hilarious that Comcast was worried about poverty and the economic well-being of middle-income Americans, not because of the implications related to human rights and the basic, intrinsic dignity of every human being, but because they're worried that middle-income Americans are quickly becoming unable to afford $30/month cable bills. At least they had the insight to recognize that their fortunes are inextricably linked to the fortunes of each member of the community they serve.
T Allen commented on the blog post Getting "Tough" in the Debt Ceiling Debate Means More Than Words
I think it's important for liberals to realize that DC insiders and political elites have already made the decision to get rid of SS and the program is in severe jeopardy. Just yesterday the President said that,
"if Mitch McConnell and John Boehner came to me and said, all right, we're ready to make a deal, here's a balanced approach to debt and deficit reduction, but we want to argue about payroll tax cuts later, they're not set to expire until the end of this year — if that was a situation that they presented, then I think we would have a serious conversation about that. I would not discount that completely."
By cutting payroll taxes and starving SS, Congress and the President took the first step towards killing SS. And SS's prospects are not improving. Despite the fact that SS will remain solvent for at least another decade even with the current payroll tax cuts, seniors and near-retirees are more than happy to sacrifice the program and exclude future generations, as long as they receive their benefits. The "greatest generation" and the boomers liquidated the greatest industrial apparatus in the history of the world for short-term individual and corporate material gain, with no thought for future generations. Why should sacrificing the public safety net be any different?
Even some Democrats, which would've been unthinkable even 5 years ago, are perfectly content with taking a "balanced" approach to debt and deficit reduction, which includes SS cuts.

Celine Spring 2013 | Pictures
Céline Spring 2013
If you can tear your eyes away from the parade of fuzzy slippers coming down the runway, then you can refocus your attention to the Spring lineup offered up by minimalist maestro Phoebe Philo. Above the ankles, Philo's collection delves into new territory, most notably with her accessories, but also with other twists — quite literally: the twisted fabric looped over a shoulder and fastened across the chests and waists of her tops, creating a new architectural storyline in the midst of her simplified, more menswear-informed silhouettes. To that end, we also get get unfinished, raw hemlines that felt a little disheveled, a little sexy maybe. Speaking of sexy, there was that, too — a pretty obvious nod to more sensuous Spring dressing with curve-conscious v-neck dresses, inset with eye-catching netting. As far as wearability, Philo's slouchy separates and clean-cropped leather may rank highest on that list, but it's the shoes and accessories that fascinate — and if the success of Céline's other handbags are any indication, then it's the fresh riffs on the clutch (resembling a kind of luxe paper-bag lunch) that will likely be the biggest draw come Spring.
- Trends: Netting, leather, and crop tops.
- Colors: White, black, navy, and a pop of pastel.
- Key Piece: The sexy dresses with deep necklines inset with netting.
- Accessories: Fuzzy, slipper-style flats and pumps, and roll-top clutches.
- Who Should Wear It: Chloë Sevigny and Anna Dello Russo in the shoes, while we're sure the rest of the fashion elite will be toting the new clutches next season.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

My clone of Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Brewed 8/23/08 12 lbs. Briess Pilsen DME 1 lb. 2-row 2 lbs. vienna 2 lbs. munich 1 lb. crystal 10L 1 lb. carapils 1 lb. wheat Partial mash @ 152F for 60 mins. Centennial: whole leaf @ unknown %AA (assumed 9%) 2 oz. @ 60 min. 1 oz @ 15 min. 1 oz. @ 10 min. 1 oz. @ 5 min. 2 oz. @ 0 min. 2 oz. dry hop in primary Kegged after 3 weeks in primary. Compared it tonight. I thought I remembered Two Hearted Ale being cloudy (but I now realize it was because I poured the yeast and all into my glass before). That is why I added the 1# wheat to the grain bill. Here are some pics (Bell's is the clear one, Baron's is the cloudy one). (click any image for a larger size pic) (Baron's on left side) Head started out great on both beers. (Baron's on left side again) Then the Baron's head started to dwindle. (Baron's on right side now) (Baron's back on left side) The color was pretty close (the first pic above shows more of a discrepancy than the eye does and the later pics). I'll add some more crystal 10L next time, I think. Flavor was excellent (for both!), but the Centennials I used were getting kind of old, so the hop aroma and flavor is very slighty lacking compared to Bell's. Carbonation level of the Bell's seemed quite a bit more than Baron's. Baron's was carbed at 40F @ 12psi for 2.5 weeks. Both were poured at 40F and approximately 6 mins. elapsed from first pic to last. I will definitely be adding this to my often brewed lineup!
Update: After sitting for couple more weeks, it's starting to clear some. Click for larger pics.

I got the idea for this from a recent post in epicfantasy.I haven't really listened to any podcasts and very few audiobooks. Generally, I prefer to read - ordinary paper books, and tv series and movies. However, I think I could get into podcasts (or video podcasts), at least a little, if the subject was one that I'm very interested in. Audiobooks on the other hand, they're probably not for me. Mom likes them and I've tried to listen to some of hers, but I never really got into them. One reason is that the translated ones are by necessity read by Swedish actors. They're reading books that have been written in another language - these days almost exclusively English. I never read the first book in the series about The Ladies' Detective Agency, I listened to it on a cd player. The actress reading it could be said to be ideal in most ways - like Mma Ramotswe she's 'of traditional build' and she's very funny, or at least used to. However, when the topic of lady detectives came up, the British mystery writer Agatha Christie was mentioned and the actress pronounced that with the stress on the second syllable. That was it for me... Funnily enough, I think she got the African names about right. At least as far as I can tell.The other memorable audiobook I tried was one about Jeeves and Wooster (I've forgotten the title). Again, the 'cast' - a group of famous comedy actors - should have been ideal, and maybe they would have been, if someone had adapted the entire book to a Swedish setting with Swedish names. As it was, naturally they hadn't. One member of the 'cast' was able to correctly pronounce the UK county Worcestershire (I hope I spelled that right), the others couldn't. No one could pronounce the more unusual personal names - like Bertie's friend Barmy Fotheringay-something or other (?) which I think is to be pronounced Fungy- Phipps? In any case, they all botched the names. One of them, who is really famous, and a movie maker/director as well as an actor let one of his characters (he played two) use a southern Swedish accent. Never again, that's all I can say. Of course, that's not really why I don't like audiobooks, I just - well, don't. For me, books are about reading, not listening. If I want to listen, I'll turn on my iPod for some music, or I'll watch tv/dvd.

We did a lot of shit together, man
On this music tip, man
Beautiful shit we did, dog
Remember when we went out to L.A. man, with Quincy man
Made all that shit pop, Yukmouth and everybody, Dubb C and everybody
Had a lot of good times, dog, know what I'm sizzlin'?
But that shits about to come to an end, dog
You know? Never have I ever crossed anybody, y'all niggas know me
The sands of time have already started to pour against you, dog
So listen hard, cause I speak real softly, like this:
[Verse 1 - Tech N9ne]
Just think: What if I could just, just blink your shit away?
Niggas think: Because a nigga bust, I grips and grips of pay
The pain grows in fame and kangos we're changin' strange hoes
Who bang in Range Roves for thangs same shows with lames
The rains goes will stain and insane foes who drain
And hang rows with brains
If you caught it, that means you got it
And if you brought it, that means you should have shot it
Cause I'm about to drop the ray and Nina locked to kill a liter
Proped to meaner nigga I pop the millameter
DeMarco I'm 'bout to spark flow ya bark so hearts with parts
Gonna make ya heart blow (heart blow), blood
And don't be was-in, cuzz-in me buggin' me
Bout dubbs I be musclin these clubs really lovin, me
It hurts my nigga, the hurt my nigga, but hurt my nigga
Is what's inspiring these spurts my nigga
At first my nigga
Used to be my homie, used to be my ace
Yellin' you gon' slap the taste out my mouth
Nigga, I never scare
Savoir faires everywhere
If you need me believe me it's easy
To put hoes in shock to tizzie
Watch the wizie, these Glocks'll talk fa' shizie
[Hook x2]
Some say I should worry and watch where I walk
Yada, yada, yada, nigga, that's just talk
I'm a friend, if I was a foe I would be
Knock-knock-knock-knock-knock-knock-knock-knockin' at yo' front do'
[Verse 2 - Tech N9ne]
Industry's faulty, industry's salty (man)
The industry cost me, industry brought me (pain)
The industry taught me, industry caught me (strain)
And you niggas know that the industry's awfully (vain)
I ain't a snake nigga, all I did is make niggas money
With Sonny now its funny, you playa hate niggas
Over some cake the fake of a show me state nigga
In my face will be Don Juan The Great to late nigga
I don't speak a lot I peep a lot I creep a lot
And people who speakin' usually weak and out for peace and no beef a lot
Remember we used to kick it like bros
Now you niggas act like bitches and hoes, with ya licorice souls
Tecca N9ne I got the wickedest flows
No kid in this MO, no misery will ever get wit this Rouge
I'm pissed in this hole
Little for side a crypt in his soul
Instead of a rap I should have twisted his nose
Who kept Short Nitty from killin' you? (Me!)
Who kept Diamond from drillin' you? (Me!)
Whp kept villian niggas from bill dealin' you? (Me!)
So now you can take away me and keep on talkin' crazy
And I'mma let 'em know where you keep your baby and where you stay, D
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3 - Tech N9ne]
You can't turn enough muthafackas against me
You can't find a harder rapper that'll convince me
I'm with the Canties, the Ashbees, the White Bears
La Zhunes, the Harris's, and the muthafuckin Timleys
The theories, the buyers, the Kennedy's
You know the families that are known to be bad for humanity
Can he be bad? Can he be tough? Can he be rough?
No cream puffs are considered to be rough enough
Nobody likes you not even ya bitches, I'm a witness
They sick of yo disrespectful way of speakin' explicit
Always talkin' about how big yo dick is
Betta hope Anghellic go multi-platinum to get yo riches, blood
This is the end of men who were once friends and then
One asshole thought he was somethin'
When punks bend over they get fucked! (Get fucked!)
Hand over them Tech tapes or get stuck! (Get stuck!)
You must think I'm soft for talkin' to Icey Rock 'bout the Nina out
I'm trippin' without a doubt
I'm a tell you really is yo friend
Mail Bakarii and maybe you and him can get together and tell like it is again
It's over man, I hope you brought your novacaine
I know the pain, is slowly takin' over brain
So calm that muthafuckin wombat, I don't need no Don Juan tracks to come bomb on rap
[Hook x2]
That's what I'm speakin' on, dog, that's real shit
Nigga once said to me: "Nigga walk around like his shit don't stink
Gon' cut ya nose off and stick up ya ass so you can smell that shit," man
Ya know what I'm sizzlin'?
Dog, you drew first blood man
That was dog shit
You know what I'm sizzlin'
That ain't no friend
Talkin' 'bout knockin' me out nigga
Ya know what are we
Dr. Dre here I come
Timbaland here I come
Neptunes here I come
Rick Rock here I come
Alchemist here I come
Sick Jack here I come
Boscoe here I come
Swizz Beats here I come
Trackmasters here I come
Don Juan be done

Machu Picchu tours 'dream break for many holidaymakers'
British holidaymakers are foregoing traditional beach breaks for exotic trips such as Machu Picchu tours.
This is according to a survey by finance firm swiftcover.com, which found that UK tourists are becoming "more adventurous".
Some 14 per cent of respondents said Machu Picchu tours would be their holiday of a lifetime, while ten per cent said safari holidays are their dream sojourns.
White-water rafting (23 per cent) and rock climbing (six per cent) were among the activities which get British travellers' pulses racing.
Travel underwriting manager at swiftcover.com Roman Bryl said it was interesting that Britons are getting more of a taste for adventure.
"While travelling to somewhere exotic like India or Machu Picchu may be a holiday of a lifetime, it is certainly within reach for many UK holidaymakers," he added.
Tourists planning their holiday of a lifetime should check out The Adventure Company's Machu Picchu tours or safari holidays.
The Teens on the Trail Teenage Adventure is well worth a look - it offers the chance to trek the Inca Trail and take part in rafting in the Sacred Valley.
If this article sparks your imagination then have a look at our Machu Picchu Tours or our holidays in Peru page

The dress is UGLY that is what is wrong with this photo. It looks like something that you see at the car wash.you know the shammy that spins around to clean the sides of your car. She took it off the roller and wore it for a dress.
Yawn.....she mustn't have nice hair because it's always tightly pulled away from her face. Really needed jewellery at the neck to give it more pizazz.
Are you crazy? I love this one!
I thought this was my favorite, so I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you are all judgers
Maybe not worst, I wouldn't put it on the best either.
I love this one, what are they thinking?
I don't see anything wrong with it; once again, who the HELL wrote this? Though it would have looked better if: a) It was knee-length, which wouldn't work for the Oscars OR b) the 'fur' was replaced by sequins like those adorning the top, though in tonal sequence as the fur.
this list contains all the best dressed (with a few exceptions) --were the two lists somehow flipped?? I'm now intrigued to see what is in the "best" of the evening....but I seem to be right in line with all the other comments.....
beautiful dress! horrible choices making this photo gallery!
Amazing sequined dress!

Show Us Your Tats!
Oh, snap! Yesterday, tattoo artist extraordinaire Brian Johnson—a hardcore vegan and PETA supporter—hit our headquarters to take pics of two "pretty in ink" ladies for his upcoming book, Tattoo Fetish Vol. I. The book won't be out until early next year, but here's a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot featuring Daniella and Shan with their rescued dogs Datona and Zoe:
Tats are all that. Check out the celebs who've stripped for PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" campaign and show that you're comfortable in your own skin by pledging to go fur-free.

ProsLocation is great (Tysons Corner) and the employees are great to work with!!!
ConsUnclear in what you want out of an employee. It changes almost daily, and you give employees mismatched responsibilities (someone in the account manager/business development side of things should not be taking care of HR responsibilities such as payroll, and benefits). There is a lot of mis-communication, which will destroy the company eventually.
Micro-management is out of control. You can't babysit your employees, it shows that you don't trust them and they are left fighting for their credibility constantly.
There is also a lot of favoritism within the company - which could be borderline illegal.
Pay is low, and there are always issues with getting paid.Advice to ManagementAdviceHave some faith in your employees, whether you believe it or not, they do know what they are talking about, stop second guessing them and start trusting them!!!
