New insight into the best online advertising formats
Monday, 19th March 2012 at 11:08am
The 'Size Matters' study was carried out in the UK, the US, Europe, Australia and South America over a period of almost two years and collected data from 770 campaigns.
The results showed that billboard formats outperformed other online advertising including more recent display formats such as wallpaper and half page, as well as the more traditional ones, such as MPU, banner and skyscraper. Formats were analysed according to five criteria: aided brand awareness, online ad awareness, message association, brand favourability and purchase intent.
The Billboard format performed significantly better across some criteria, scoring three times better in terms of ad awareness and twice as better for brand favourability than wallpaper, the second best format of those measured.
The Wallpaper format offered the highest brand awareness against all other formats and was five times better than the average in terms of message association.
However, not to be left out, the Skyscraper format was the most successful in the purchase intent metric.
Tim Elkington, IAB director of research and strategy, commented, 'The industry can only benefit from the new large display formats, as both brands and consumers seem to be excited by them. The findings from the Size Matters study highlight the advantages of formats like billboard and wallpaper.'
To find out more about online advertising you can find interesting insight on the IAB's website however some of it is only available in full to members.

There's nothing wrong with some idle speculation on the NCAA Tournament, especially as March approaches. But a little bit less of ESPN Bracketologist-in-chief Joe Lunardi, and the silly, over-certain pseudoscience he sells, might do us all some good.
Nerlens Noel's short, strange and NBA-mandated college basketball career is almost certainly over after just 24 games and one scary knee injury. He'll be fine, most likely, but college basketball fans are still worse off for not getting to watch him figure out for himself how his dazzling talent works.
There are several good-enough reasons to root for Jae Crowder, the extravagantly be-dreaded rookie wing on the Dallas Mavericks. But what he might wind up being, and on some nights legitimately appears already to be, is currently a better reason to watch than anything Crowder actually is.
Perry Jones III could be the next Tracy McGrady. He could also be the next Qyntel Woods. Or, barring all that, he could just be Perry Jones III, a player who can do a lot and has been through a lot, but who is now not nearly yet what he'll someday be.
Jimmy King's Fab Five days were more than half a lifetime ago, but he and his team have stuck around in the collective college basketball memory, and still have some lessons to teach.
In 2010, Dominique Ferguson was a blue-chip recruit bound for Kentucky. Today, after following Isiah Thomas to Florida International and being denied the opportunity to transfer in the wake of Zeke's firing, Ferguson is a longshot NBA Draft candidate, and proof of how dangerous it is to be loyal to faithless people and institutions.
Dwayne Schintzius is best remembered for one of the league's most extravagant and meticulously maintained signature haircuts. It says something about the man who named his mullet "The Lobster" that he seemed more or less cool with that. But, haircut notwithstanding, he filled a role.
Hats off, and small nylon shorts in the mail, to Kevin Slane, the champion of The Classical's Prognostic-achievers Bracket Challenge. How could he possibly have known that Kentucky could pull this off?
The "One Shining Moment" montage at the end of every NCAA Tournament is a television institution with decades of history and a ton of gooey, gooey sentiment behind it. Which makes it all the more frustrating how awful it is.
In anticipation of the Final Four, we're highlighting four players whose very presence on the court is a reason to watch. In the last of the mini-series, we check in with the uniquely graceful, un-angry and great Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Here's to a great year

We're back to school. It's almost time for school to start up again. You can see it and feel it.
The stores have dedicated sections filled with pencils and notebook paper, crayons and glue sticks. The new kindergartners dance with excitement while Mom and Dad pour over the supply list. Those two boys down the street are tossing a football in anticipation of middle-school tryouts. Your daughter is already begging you to buy the test prep guide for her AP U.S. history class.
And here comes the first yellow bus down the street, a new driver familiarizing herself with the route.
We are back again at this energizing time of new beginnings and renewed opportunities.
What you might not have noticed is that the educators in your local school district are back as well -- getting the buildings ready, learning to use new technologies, collaborating with their colleagues on new units and looking over class rosters trying to picture their students for the upcoming year.
No matter what your personal connection to our Kansas public schools, we all can appreciate the excitement.
We Kansans have made a quality public education for every child a matter of great pride. Every one of our Kansas students can follow their dreams and pursue their goals with the encouragement and support of the educators in the buildings, their families at home, and their neighbors in the community. That opportunity is one of the mainstays of our democratic society and of our Kansas heritage.
The pursuit of our dreams is fundamental to our collective psyche. But the benefits of a strong public education go far beyond that. We know public education is how a community provides its young people with the complex work skills necessary in the 21st century. We know as businesses look for new locations, they look for communities that provide a qualified, educated workforce. We know as the level of education rises in a community, the level of income rises, as does the quality of life. A quality public school system is in the best interest of all Kansans.
It's exciting to know educators across the state are working to make our schools even better. They are finding new ways to help students develop all the skills they need in our modern world, from critical thinking to collaboration to responsible citizenship. They are connecting with parents and families and communities so as a team we can help all children reach their potential. Maintaining and improving our exemplary public schools is one of the most important jobs we have as a community.
So as we watch our children and schools prepare for a new year and start to pay attention to the school crossings again, let's all commit to making this a great school year; one of infinite potential and dreams fulfilled.

Michael Douglas might have fared better with upcoming Australian vaccine
PUBLISHED: 11 Jun 2013 10:19:48 | UPDATED: 12 Jun 2013 05:59:50PRINT EDITION: 11 Jun 2013Ian Frazer says he hopes to have a product on the shelves in three to five years. Photo: Glen McCurtayne
Ben Hurley
'Game-changing technology'Mining tycoon Andrew Forrest is hoping to make billions on a new therapeutic vaccine that might have prevented actor Michael Douglas's throat cancer.
Clinical trials will begin later this year for a next-generation vaccine developed by Professor Ian Frazer with Forrest's biotechnology punt Allied Healthcare Group. If successful it will not only immunise against cancer-causing viruses like human papillomavirus (HPV) but also cure those already suffering from them. Frazer's previous vaccine Gardasil, commercialised by CSL and bringing billions in profits, prevents but does not treat the virus.
Douglas was in the spotlight for comments he made to newspaper The Guardian suggesting his throat cancer, since treated successfully, might have been caused by performing cunnilingus. Douglas later claimed the newspaper misrepresented an interview it conducted with him.

Regardless of whether HPV was the cause of throat cancer in Douglas's case, the actor brought attention to the fact it is not only women who are victims of cancer caused by HPV. The virus causes cervical cancer in women but is also increasingly causing cancers inside the mouth, particularly among young people.
More than 50 per cent of men and women catch HPV within three years of becoming sexually active, and while most clear the infection without harm, a small percentage stay affected and later develop cancer. An estimated 600,000 men and women worldwide each year develop an HPV-linked cancer each year, and more than half die from it, according to statistics provided by Allied Healthcare.
The next-generation technology is being developed by Frazer's Coridon, which is more than 40 per cent owned by Allied Healthcare. Allied Healthcare is the only funding entity.
Allied Healthcare CEO Lee Rodne says if the vaccine is successfully developed, there could be a more than a $6 billion market for it. "We think there's a large upside to our story," Rodne says. "If you look at what Gardasil did for CSL it really fuelled CSL's growth."
Allied Healthcare began as a part of Andrew Forrest's Fortescue Metals Group and was later spun off into a separate commercial entity. Forrest remains a major shareholder along with Perth industrialist William Clough.
It is a common criticism that Australian scientific breakthroughs, when commercialised, often generate most of their profits overseas. Rodne says Fortescue's investment thanks to the mining boom would help keep more profits in Australia this time around.
'Game-changing technology'
Frazer tells BRW the technology he has developed has worked on animals, and the next phase is human testing. He hopes to have a product on the shelf in three to five years. If successful, the technology will potentially treat other virus-related cancers like liver cancer, sometimes caused by hepatitis B, and cancer of the lymph glands, sometimes caused by glandular fever.
"If it works for one virus we would hope it would work for many viruses," Frazer says. "What we're trying to get is a game-changing technology that will enable us to get these therapeutic vaccines to work for virus infections and hopefully some cancers.
But it will be a race to get a product out first, Frazer admits.
"It would be fair to say there are many people aiming to get to where we're trying to get to," Frazer says. "We have a novel and unique technology we think will make a big difference in the game. But others out there are being developed as well. I would like to think we will get there first but we ultimately just want to get there."

Wycombe manager Gary Waddock was delighted with his side's 2-1 win over Cheltenham.Wanderers moved into a 2-0 lead thanks to goals either side of half-time from Ben Strevens and Gareth Ainsworth before Wesley Thomas pulled a goal back for Cheltenham.Waddock said: "It's a great result - obviously when we went 2-0 up and they scored quite soon afterwards, the momentum was with them for a period of time."They are a good side and they caused us problems not so long ago which is because of their formation and their system but I thought we dealt with that reasonably well tonight."They've had some good results and credit to them - their away form is excellent so obviously we're pleased we could get the result. I'm delighted that Ben (Strevens) got on the scoresheet tonight - he's a good pro."I was pleased with his performance and `Gazza' (Gareth Ainsworth) has scored again but yet again everybody has played a part and I'm pleased with the whole group."

Tolbert Painting: DIY, the importance of personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment or PPE is the barrier between you and injury. PPE can range from clothing to eye protection to gloves or kneepads. As a professional painter, I use PPE on a daily basis, so in this article I'm going to talk about some practical applications for the use of personal protective equipment in the home.
From head to toe:
Hat – A great piece of PPE is a Hat, one that preferably keeps the sun off of you. I regularly wear a sun hat or wide brim hat while working outdoors and believe it or not, extreme sunburn is a job related injury. How does this apply at the house? Unfortunately, no one is immune to the sun's harmful, radioactive, cancer causing, UV rays. So this summer when you're working outside, protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat and applying sun block.
Eye Protection – Eye Protection seems like a no brainer. You would be surprised how rarely I see it being used. When using power tools or anything that's going to send flying debris into your Cornea, be sure to wear eye protection. This also includes working with caustic materials like household cleaners and bleach. Eye protection in the form of tinted lenses, are important to wear when working out in the sun as they help to prevent Cataracts.
Ear Protection – Long-term exposure to continuous loud noises can cause lasting hearing loss. I highly recommend using ear protection when running any type of noisy equipment for even a short period of time. This could include electric or gas powered equipment.
Dust masks and Respirators – These are great in the field as they protect us from harmful dust being created in the prep process. Respirators are used to protect us from harmful fumes when working with volatile compounds. I recommend using a dust mask to protect you from dust while cleaning or while doing yard work. I can tell you from experience that it only took me a couple of sinus infections for me to now wear one anytime I'm exposed to air born debris of any kind. A disposable Organic filter cartridge respirator can be purchased at any hardware or paint store. A dust mask will not protect you from caustic fumes. If planning a project that includes exposure to a caustic breathing hazard, consult your local paint store on what precautions you can take. Closed quarters without proper ventilation or proper protection can produce a deadly environment with lethal consequences. If you have difficulty breathing while wearing any kind of mask, remove it immediately.
Gloves – These not only protect you from hand injuries like cuts and scrapes, they also prevent toxins from entering your blood stream through your skin. True, hand injuries are the number two most common of the reportable work injuries, however; exposing your circulatory system to foreign materials in my book is a close second. While working with caustic household materials; wear rubber gloves, not only will this keep your hands looking young but your kidneys as well. Leather Gloves should be worn while lifting heavy objects with sharp edges or working with any cut or scrape hazard like cutting tools or grinding tools. A bad scrape can be just as bad as a bad cut.
Knee Protection- My Aunt Dee is always raving about her new Titanium knee. I'm sure it's awesome, but I'm just not in a real big hurry to go out and get one, and so I use kneepads. Kneepads are great for doing work that's near to the ground and it helps to prevent cartilage loss and wear and tear on your knees. If you find knee pads uncomfortable or just as much of a pain to put on than what they prevent, I recommend a Foam Kneeling board (also great for quick little jobs like getting that one pesky weed, or putting that door stop back on).
Proper footwear -lets just say that flip-flops may not be the best choice of foot wear to mow the lawn or clean the gutters. That being said, a good work shoe is a sturdy leather shoe with ankle support. Feet are usually injured when something falls on them and a sprained ankle isn't any fun either so, when working outside be sure to have the proper footwear.
Stretching- Remember all those stretches from Gym class? It's time for some review. The number one "on- the -job injury" is; Sprains and Strains. You may or may not be an athlete but if you're going to do some work, you will be engaged in a physical activity, possibly using muscles you may not normally use. So to prevent any unwanted strains; stretch prior to work, use proper lifting techniques (avoid stress on your back) and if something is to heavy or awkward to carry, get help.
So now you're ready to get out there and tackle all those summer projects. Be safe and have fun

Part Two
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
From the 1950 McHenry Book by May and Torrence McHenry, pp 246-250 [see Note 2, below]. Unknown who actually wrote the following: ~~
The illegal and unwarranted military raid upon Columbia County during the Civil War frequently has been miscalled "The Fishing Creek Confederacy" [see Note 2, below]. Because the area of the Fishing Creek Valley was the scene of the raid, and because that area has been the home of many of the McHenrys since, and also because the names of seven McHenry men and five or six of their closely related kinsmen are in the list of those involved in the half-forgotten episode, it is fitting and just that the uncontroverted facts and the true historical significance of the affair be summarized in this volume.
The early settlers of the Fishing Creek Valley, mostly Scotch-Irish, were hardy, honest, hard-working people who believed in God and in themselves. Descended mostly from Revolutionary forbears, they were intensely patriotic, and took a lively interest in public affairs. they read much, and debated and argued and talked among themselves, and after the outbreak of the Civil War, did what they could to help fill the draft quota of their country.
This was a period when the entire nation was over-wrought and excited. There were raids and high-handed military overthrowing of civil rights in several Pennsylvania counties -- Columbia County was not exempt. In this time of tension and trouble, personal and political differences led conniving individuals to near [sic] false witness against their neighbors. Wild rumors and unbased charges were spread, to the effect that draft evaders and other disloyalists had formed a conspiracy, and built a well-armed fort in the mountain wilderness at the head of Fishing Creek.
Exaggerated statements went forth over and over, louder and louder, until outsiders began to believe there might be something in them. Representations were lodged in Harrisburg and Washington, and a thousand federal soldiers were rushed to peaceful Columbia County. After some drilling, and a wait for re-inforcements [sic] at Bloomsburg, a fully equipped "army of occupation," cavalry, infantry, artillery, drums beating and flags flying, marched up the astounded countryside -- along the peacefully beautiful Fishing Creek, to capture deserters who had never deserted; to destroy rifle pits that had never been dug; to hurl its proud strength against a phantom fort manned by phantom soldiers.
Before proceeding toward the purported objective of its campaign, the supposed fort with its big brass cannon, tucked away in a gorge of the looming mountains, the army encamped in a maple-sugar grove below Benton. From here, scouting parties were sent out in various directions, and, true to military tradition, the soldiers "lived off the land" quite sumptuously.
On August 28th, 1861, Major-General Cadwallader arrived to assume command. upon his orders, squads of soldiers were posted at different points over the northern townships of Columbia County. At an appointed time, at break of day, one hundred homes were surrounded, one hundred doors were pounded upon, one hundred citizens were aroused from their beds and arrested without the process of law, in defiance of their constitutional rights, by the armed force of a thousand soldiers. No resistance was made to the arrests.
The prisoners were marched to a nearby church and taken before an officer who blasphemously occupied the pulpit. The proceedings were hurried and summary. About one-half of the prisoners were discharged with no reason given for either their arrest or discharge.
The forty-five retained under arrest were marched to Bloomsburg, taken by train -- without breakfast -- to Fort Mifflin, on the Delaware below Philadelphia. At Fort Mifflin they were herded into an underground unventilated, vermin-infested, bomb-proof chamber. Here they were denied air, exercise and the light of day. They were denied free correspondence with friends or counsel, denied knowledge of the charges against them and of the names of their accusers.
It must be born in mind that these men were not riff-raff or scoundrels. They were citizens of good repute and prominent in their communities. In the veins of most of them flowed the blood of patriots who had helped to make this nation beloved of those who had fought for the colonies in the French and Indian Wars, who took part in the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812.
After the round-up of those who, according to local plans, were to be punished for something or other, General Cadwallader marched his army to the head-waters of Fishing Creek, and encamped his army at the foot of the close-crowding mountains. Then followed an intensive hunt for that fort, with its two field pieces, its big brass cannon, and its five hundred desperate men.
General Cadwallader was an officer of experience and military reputation, and the search of the upper part of Columbia County was made with thoroughness, according to all the rules of military science. The soldiers who had had such pleasant, well-fed times down among the prosperous farms, fat barn-yards and orchards of the lower valley, had to clamber up steep ravines, around dangerous precipices and numberless waterfalls, through briers and huckleberry brush and almost impenetrable laurel thickets. They scoured the region; they went over into Sullivan County; they captured two old bear traps and a place where huckleberry pickers had picnicked. But never did they find any fort, any cannon, any desperate men. Like that famed horde of ancient Spain they "Marched up a hill and they marched down again."
General Cadwallader was a deeply disgusted man. He went down to Bloomsburg and declared, "The whole thing is a farce." This declaration of the officer in command of the invading force was made in the presence of Presiding Judge Elwell of Columbia County Court -- of Colonel John G. Freeze, eminent attorney and Colonel Tate, editor of the "Columbia, Columbia County's leading newspaper.
General Cadwallader returned to his quarters in Philadelphia, but the soldiers remained in the county like hostile forces in conquered territory under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Stuart, who was subsequently court martialed and discharged as a proven scoundrel. The men who had been arrested at Benton by soldiers were held in the Fort Mifflin dungeon with no charges brought against them, without a hearing of any description.
The soldiers remained in the county until after the Presidential election. At time [sic] of the State election in October and the Presidential election in November, contrary to U.S. Law, armed soldiers were stationed at polling places and along highways in nearly every voting district to prevent Democrats from going to the polls. As a result Columbia County went Republican in a Presidential election.
Along this line it may be noted that all of the forty five men chosen to suffer at fort Mifflin were Democrats; also it may be noted that, with a single exception, none of the arrested men had been drafted or was liable to the draft.
All of the Fort Mifflin prisoners were of equal standing and all are equally deserving of honorable remembrance. for the purpose of this record only the seven who bore the name McHenry may be mentioned.
THE LIST FOLLOWS: [see Note 3, below]
1 - Elias Jackson McHenry, aged 33, imprisoned 2 months.
2 - James McHenry, aged 44, imprisoned 3 months and 11 days.
3 - Elias McHenry, aged 47, imprisoned 1 month and 19 days, discharged on account of illness.
4 - Rohr McHenry, aged 36, imprisoned 1 month and 19 days, discharged on account of illness and carried home on a stretcher.
5 - Samuel McHenry, aged 57, imprisoned 4 months and 15 days, honorably discharged and sent home after acquital of Daniel McHenry and collapse of Prosecution.
6 - Russell McHenry, aged 26, imprisoned 5 months and 15 days, honorably discharged as above.
7 - Daniel McHenry, Treasurer of Columbia county & Stillwater Postmaster, aged 37, imprisoned 4 months.
Daniel McHenry was the only one of the prisoners who was able to prepare a vigorous fight for a full fair defense and his case was the last to be tried. Friends collected witnesses for him and he was ably represented by counsel including Hon. John G. Freeze, Herman Alricks or Harrisburg and U.S. Senator Charles R. Buckalew. The Military Commission postponed his trial three times, each delay adding greatly to the cost of defense. He was secretly approached with offers of release but spurned such offers with a demand for a fair trial that would secure not only his own vindication but also the vindication of his fellow prisoners as the articles of accusation were practically the same in all cases.
The delayed trial was finally called for December 14th. Daniel McHenry was honorably acquitted. By that acquital the Military Occupation of Columbia County stood condemned by its own extraordinary and partial tribunal -- the Military Commission.
With the conclusion of the McHenry case the trials stopped and further efforts of prosecution ended. Prisoners awaiting trial were released and sent home. Seven who had been convicted were pardoned. It should be added here that the question of the consitutionality of military arrests and military trials of civilians was decided by the Supreme court of the United States in the case of Lambkin Millikin No 350 December term 1865. Mr. Justice Davis in delivering the opinion of the court said, "Citizens of the states in which the courts are open, if charged with crime, are guaranteed the inestimable privilege of trial by jury. This is a vital principal underlying the whole administration of justice; it cannot be frittered away on any plea of State or Political necessity -- Martial Law cannot arise from threatened invasion of civil or military necessity. The necessity must be actual and present, the invasion real, such as effectually closes the courts and deposes the civic administration."
So decided the Supreme Court in a decision that covered the case of the Fishingcreek Confederacy and similar cases of military trials.
[see Notes 4 & 5, below]
1) Anyone interested in purchasing one or both of the McHenry family books should contact me for the e-mail address of the person selling the books.
2) As reported in the April 1987 Columbia County Historical Society's newsletter, p. 2, Mr. George Turner, board member and Chairman of the History Department of Bloomsburg University, lectured on this topic at the Columbia County Historical Society (then located in Orangeville, PA), [the following quoted from the newsletter] "entitled 'The Fishing Creek Confederacy' or 'the Military Occupation of Columbia County,' depending upon one's political preference. (the former was preferred by the Republicans, the latter by the Democrats. Mr. Turner prefers the title 'Civil War Dissent.'"
3) I condensed the information in the list of McHenry prisoners. Consult the McHenry book for the complete information in the list, including the prisoners' occupations. Also, this lists only McHenrys. For other names, see the first article I re-typed on the Fishing Creek Confederacy.
4) I have only re-typed this information from the McHenry book; I have not verified any facts contained within it. As always, there will be more than one point of view. Please note that this article does not mention that one prisoner, Mr. William E. ROBERTS, died during his imprisonment (according to 3 Dec 1864 letter of James McHENRY at Fort Mifflin, PA, and the Petition of William APPLEMAN presented to the U.S. Senate by Senator Buckelew on December 24, 1864.
Also note that this article does not include the information that one of the U.S. soldiers was shot during this occupation and later died of his wounds. According to the April 1987 Columbia County Historical Society newsletter (p. 2), "as late as March, 1891, one Elias YOUNG was arrested and charged with the murder, but he was found not guilty. The U.S. officer who was shot is buried in the Bethel Church Cemetery, in the vicinity of Fairmount Springs. The U.S. officer . . . was John ROBINSON."
The following is an excerpt from "The Civil War Times," a Columbia County Historical Society reproduction of that era's articles in an over-sized newspaper printed for the U.S. Bicentenniel: "In the Raven Creek area, east of Benton, on the night of July 30, Lieut. J. Stewart Robinson, who was part of a deputy Provost Marshal party seeking to arrest some deserters, was shot and later died of his wound on November 3 . . ."
5) As for how fragile people's memories are of past events, we only have to think of the History Revisionists, such as the group who insists that the Holocost of World War II never actually happened, and the people who believe them. In 1998, when I interviewed 104-year-old Mr. Karl Fritz of Benton, Columbia County, PA, I mentioned the "Fishing Creek Confederacy" and asked him whether he'd heard many stories about that incident. He smiled and said, "Yes," then added, "but I think the whole thing was greatly exaggerated." So -- who's to know who was right or wrong and what was true or untrue until we can build a time machine and live through the past, ourselves?

Hi Maria thank you for your insightful predictions .Love your way of narrating and sensitive way of approaching your readers You are a blessing to all of us love your smile and warmth healing touch thank you once again plz don't stop .love you sapna
Maria I wish you the moon and stars in life--I never have a good week until I see your beautiful smile, keen insight, and real predictions. GO GIRL! Katherine
No one is expecting all 7 days, each day in detail, but if you gave your specifics on the days you choose.....in addition to a summary of the week as a whole, I think we all would appreciate that. Please consider!
Your " weekly " forecasts still do not give the detail of what should be helpful information. A week consist of 7 days, not 2. For Virgo, you gave Monday and Thursday. What about the rest of the week? This happens each week. I like to listen to you and you're usually spot on ( which is another reason we want more ), however if this continues I may start looking elsewhere.
.This is the third week I have not been able to hear the insightful reading....no sound...and it is not my computer...I've checked...advise...Judy
I can't every get it either! I just thought it was cause I was using an I pad. What do you mean by costly?
I signed on for my readings3 times, but still no emails linking me direct to Marie's site???
What do I do to get my readings from Marie DeSimone tried everything.This is the best site ? Just a little costly.. Thank You for the weekly video's .
Pretty positive scope for Virgo this week, I often envision a new moon as a time to start a new cycle of creativity.
Love the videos! FYI - On all of the vids it seems like Tuesday, Feb 14th was labelled as being Feb 13th. And of course, maybe one day the emails for each individual sign will go directly to the corresponding video as opposed to the default Aries! Best wishes!!!
This weeks scope was pretty good, I know there has been a lot going on in my 7th house recently.

I enjoyed the video but I also would have like to have seen the results. Without the results how can we know if we are interested in trying the same craft out ourselves.
hmmmm never did see what the finished beads look like. Makes it hard for me to decide if I want to try it.
If you have dial up internet a video will act like the first lady's comment. I used to access a video and then do something else while it loaded and then play it through from the begining and it won't be jerky. With hi-speed or broadband you don't have that problem. I too would have liked to have seen a finished product.
This was a poorly made video...it would stop and freeze up, then play for a few seconds then freeze up again over and over.
Looks interesting, I would like these instructions on paper so I can try it in my craft area.
It would be nice if there had been a finished product shown so that the viewer could see what the beads actually look like when finished.

They began to create a steady buzz on the streets as word spread of a rap group who could actually entertain a cross generational audience, in 2006 they began to receive major support for their leading summer anthem "Gon Jig". 107.9FM headed the radio takeover and the track was subsequently spun by top industry DJ's including King Arthur, DJ Hershey and DJ Southern Bred. The radio hype led the guys on a minor promotional tour, which imprinted their relevance across the southern regions of the United States. Their fan base began to spread and they were quickly invited to perform amongst the best at the BET Spring Bling Series, their notoriety as a rap group made great news for their newly found success and despite many pullbacks they made no effort at stopping. They began to deepen into the industry making guest appearances in major music videos including; DJ Unk's "Walk It Out", One Chance "Look At Her" and BHI "Poole Palace". C.B.Y.A! Were destined to soon be on the set of their own music video.In 2008 C.B.Y.A! Were introduced to Jareiq Kabara, CEO at Da Vision Entertainment. Amazed by the boys and their undivided focus he instantly signed them to his label. Shortly afterwards the guys showcased for Nina Easton CEO of 404 Music and former owner of the Sony CBS bought Itchiiban Records, again elevated by their talents, they were immediately offered their first major recording deal through the Da Vision Ent/404 Music Joint Venture. In 2009, C.B.Y.A! released "Stunna Shades"feat DJ Unk their first single off the eagerly anticipated album "Residentz Of Jupiter", this is just the beginning of a new age of rap music. 2010 the guys were featured on Comedian Michael Coylar's Comdey album "Michael Coylar Greatest Hits And the great Unknowns" 2011 the guys teamed up with Canada's #1 Dj, Dj Big Steve Gee for a series of mixtapes starting with The Dean's List(Ist Semester) released in May..

Shreveport, LA (KMSS) — In one of his first public appearances since the January 3 announcement, Paul Elio of Elio Motors was back in Shreveport letting the public know the progress that has been made his plans for the old GM plant.
While hiring is still about 14 months away, Elio Motors is starting to accept applications through their website. While all are invited to apply, Elio reiterated why he picked Shreveport as the place to open his plant.
With thousands laid off when the GM plant closed, Elio wants to give those employees a second chance. He'll also benefit because he'll be employing people who are already skilled at building cars.
Elio is excited to get the plant up and running, expecting the first of his cars to roll out of the factory in June of 2014.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were signaling a higher start to Wall Street on Thursday. Asian shares ended mostly higher, getting a boost from better-than-expected economic reports in the U.S.

U.S. stocks on Wednesday finished with mild gains as better-than-expected services sector and payrolls data offset a sharp decline in Dow component Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report). The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 12 points, or 0.09%, to finish at 13,495. The index has risen 10.45% so far in 2012.
HP shares tumbled Wednesday after CEO Meg Whitman told analysts that the tech giant would "continue to see a broad-based profit decline across business units in 2013." Whitman said 2013 is a "is a fix and rebuild year" for HP, and that it's on track to complete its restructuring by the end of fiscal 2014.

President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney squared off Wednesday night in the first presidential debate as investors hoped for more clarity on who may be the favorite to win the election and lead Washington through a series of important fiscal decisions in the next term. Romney and Obama engaged in a 90-minute debate format that featured wonky policy discussions on taxes, Medicare and getting the U.S. middle class back to work, but there was little debate on how to solve the impending fiscal cliff. -- Written by Joseph Woelfel

Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Area of Operations: Connecticut River between Southampton and North Hadley, Massachusetts, United States, North America
Dates: June 16, 1982 to June 17, 1982
Chief scientist: Rusty Tirey
Objectives: 1. Delineate the depth to the top of bedrock below the river surface. 2. Determine the location and dimensions of aquifers that transect the river.
Type of Activity:
Information to be derived:
Summary: The base of operation was the State Park at Southampton, MA. Spark source and array were towed 50 feet astern of the whaler. Navigation was provided by visual sights on known land marks. The data quality were good to excellent over about 75 percent of the track run. Data from the other 25 percent of the track were poor with limited or no penetration of the sub-bottom. This lack of penetration of the bottom by the acoustic energy is attributed to biogenic gas bubbles in the near surface sediments. All of the data from this survey were retained by the personnel from the Water Resources Division.

In the lyrics of one of my favorite songs by Kenny Roger's "the Gambler" which states that "you gotta know when to hold em…., Know when to fold em… No when to walk away…… Know when to run…. And it is those lyrics which reminded me of how easy it is to gamble with your PPC Campaigns, when "rash" decisions can really screw-up your bottom-line. (BTW - What the hell happened to Kenny Roger's Face? It looks like he gambled and lost with his plastic surgeon - See photo below) In this post, I will discuss why it's important to "know when hold certain keywords and also "when to fold 'em" or pause them. Just because a keyword may be under-performing, does not mean it's a bad keyword. It just may bring attention to other areas of the PPC optimization experience (Landing Page, website usability or even the Text Ad). Let's discuss
Not all keywords are the same for everyone. In my experience, I have seen other PPC Marketers and even myself at times, be guilty of not giving keyword a 2nd chance at life it deserves and it's very much like gambling with real money where the only difference is that your not bidding with Chips, your gambling with your business.
In my humble opinion, the best approach to managing keywords in the PPC Campaigns is to create a small group of 10-20 "tightly" relevant Head Terms and Long Tail Phrases about that specific product or service. Depending on your analytics package, it is sometimes a good idea to identify a few head terms and leave them in either Broad or Phrase Match and let the user find the long-tail work for you. Once you have that setup, I would then monitor them closely a few times a day for a week at a time just to see the behavior.
A Few Behaviors would be:
- Click Thru Rate (CTR%)
- Avg Position Fluctuation
- Competitive saturation
- Eventually CPL/CPA.
Once you have a good idea of the winners and "non winners" – (Notice I did not say "LOSERS" because the under-performers may just have the wrong "intent" factor which is perfectly ok), segment them and start working on the ones that need a little more attention. The beauty of Paid Search is the ability for the search marketer to try all types of "last resorts" and test new things. Moreover, finding the ultimate "gold-mine" keywords are not always instant. It could take months to truly get a handle on how to continue the ROAS Success. So in comparing PPC to Gambling at the Casino, you are in effect,
- Looking at your cards
- Looking at the others players
- Looking at the dealer's cards
- Deciding to FOLD'em or HOLD'em
The benefit of PPC is that you do not have to fold right away, you can try different tactics to truly determine if it's a lost cause and/or stop the bleeding before the credit card company knocks on your door.
So what are some examples of Rehabilitation Tactics?
Certainly, there are many tools to utilize when you are forced to give these keywords a second and third chance at life in your campaigns.
- Step #1: Look at all of the RAW search queries (through analytics) and see if there is a gap in the long tail searches. An example maybe adding a FEW MORE negative keywords to filter out unqualified visitors to keep the cost down and improve CTR to get your ROAS at the level it needs to be.
- Step #2: Look at the keywords position. Perhaps the "quality score" effect is just not there, so you may want to drop a few cents of the maximum CPC.
- Step #3: Look at your Landing Page and Website and looking for problems in your Conversion process. This could also be an issue with price, lack of information, shipping costs (if applicable) as well as anything else which may be affecting your ROAS.
- Step #4: If on the Content or Site Placement Networks, run a referring sites report and add those sites that are driving up add spend and not converting to the Site Exclusion section within Google Adwords.
In Conclusion:
The bottom-line of this post is to highlight on the fact that PPC does not have to be a game of High Stakes BlackJack. The PPC Marketer has many options on the table and just needs to be conscious of the surroundings of the user experience to make a better decision. Many great PPC experts in the industry have also been evangelizing on these similar tactics, techniques and strategies mentioned in this post. However, this SemGeek's thought process is using all of these best practices and simply relating them to other types of behavior, whether you are gambling at the Casinos, or Fishing (That's another analogy to write about) it's all relative.
PPC marketing is dynamic in that sometimes you can "win by Knockout" in the first 30 seconds, but if you get knocked down more that 3 times in the same round, as a PPC Marketer you can still continue to analyze your opponent (client) and fight your way back to a successful campaign.

Example mock-up (see the .lua file for explanations and additional notes): local AceGUI = LibStub("AceGUI-3.0") local Completing = LibStub("AceGUI-3.0-Completing-EditBox") Completing:Register ("ExampleGroupMembers", AUTOCOMPLETE_LIST_TEMPLATES.IN_GROUP)... | |||||
AceGUI-3.0-FrameWithInput |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Mature | ||
This is a variant of AceGUI-3.0's Frame container, with some changes: The read-only status text bar at the bottom is replaced with an edit box for input. Additional buttons can easily be added across the bottom, outside the control of the container/widget scheme. The ':EnableResize()' method of the (undocumented) Window container is also present here, but not (yet?) in Frame. Documentation of new methods and AceGUI-style callbacks are at the top of the .lua file. Comments, bugs, etc, should... | |||||
Arbitrary Commands |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Inactive | ||
Arbitrary Commands provides a popup menu containing player-programmable scripts or slash commands. The menu can be shown by any LDB launcher; by default a minimap-pimple icon is used. The scripts are gathered in nested menus, arranged by the player. The scripts can be either slash commands or snippets of Lua code, just like a long '/script'. I kept finding myself wanting to run the same bits of /script over and over, but didn't want to use up a macro slot OR find a place to store the macro... | |||||
DBM-NotScaryAtAll |
Nov 12, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
This is a boss mod plugin for Deadly Boss Mods. It makes 8 outdoor creatures into "bosses" for purposes of testing DBM callbacks with other addons. Once you register your addon with DBM you can engage one of these creatures in combat to exercise all the same code paths but without the inconvenience of, you know, potential death. The eight outdoor creatures are around level 6 or 7. There is one creature per capital city, chosen to be near the entrance to that capital. The goal was to be able... | |||||
Guild Delta |
Nov 08, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Inactive | ||
When you login, Guild Delta displays changes ("deltas", in math terms) to the guild roster since the last time you logged in. Specifically, names of players who have joined the guild or are no longer in the guild. See below for tracking other kinds of changes. If you're here about 5.4.2 changes, read Oddities below! I didn't like being unaware that people had left my (large) guild merely because I happened to not be online at the time they left. And I kept being surprised to find that people... | |||||
GuildRosterSelectedFix |
Jun 14, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Inactive | ||
Update for MoP/WoD: This may no longer be needed. This addon tries to work around the Blizzard UI bug which results in the error message seen on forums regularly: Blizzard_GuildUI\Blizzard_GuildRoster.lua:147: bad argument #3 to 'SetFormattedText' (string expected, got nil) Blizzard_GuildUI\Blizzard_GuildRoster.lua:147: in function <...ace\AddOns\Blizzard_GuildUI\Blizzard_GuildRoster.lua:120> <in C code>: in function `GuildRoster_Update' Blizzard_GuildUI\Blizzard_GuildRoster.lua:70: in... | |||||
NoEscape |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
Changes several of the popup dialogs to not close when hitting the Escape key. Idea and initial implementation unashamedly stolen from Dridzt's posting here: http://forums.wowace.com/showpost.php?p=311863&postcount=2 There is no configuration as yet. | |||||
Old School Chat |
Jun 14, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Inactive | ||
This addon restores the chat window behavior prior to WoW 3.3.5, based on the code in this thread at the wowace.com forums. Credit goes to the posters in that thread, particularly Phanx and Sylvanaar. For details, see the comment blocks in the Lua file. Keep an eye on the Known Bugs / Caveats for the file releases. | |||||
Ouro Loot |
Feb 21, 2015 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
What Ouro Loot tracks loot during a raid and then produces output formatted for pasting on a guild forum or similar place. Loot is optionally categorized by boss if you have Deadly Boss Mods installed. Loot can be annotated with notes (getting disenchanted, awarded for offspec, going to a guild vault, etcetera) and the forum output will be marked up appropriately. A longer-term history of loot is kept also. This addon does not replace or augment the Master Looter interface or behavior. In... | |||||
Persistence of Chattiness |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
Normally pressing Enter brings back the last non-numbered chat type, like /g or /s. This addon makes the chat system remember the numbered channels as well, so that once you start talking on (say) channel /7, pressing Enter will default to /7. This is called making those channels sticky. It's a truly trivial addon, but I wanted it to happen automatically instead of running a /script macro every time I logged in. Claiming credit for this would just be embarassing. :-) Starting in WoW 3.3.5,... | |||||
Questlog Level Patch |
Jun 13, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Inactive | ||
Adds quest levels to the titles in the quest log. For example, "Whatever" is changed to "[12] Whatever". The first version of this addon was written by sarf, as part of the Cosmos/Khaos addon family. With the release of WotLK, Khaos was closed down, this addon was no longer updated, and I have not been able to contact sarf to learn his plans. I have done some minimal changes (see the enclosed .txt file for details) and brought the TOC up to date. The addon continues to work for WotLK and Cata... | |||||
Rundown IV |
Jan 19, 2015 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
This is a from-scratch version of Kaelten's old KC_Rundown/KC_Items addon from 2005, which has long since died. It was sorely missed in my household, and there were no replacements that fit my needs exactly. Necessity being the mother of invention, this addon was born. Rundown does substring searching of your bank and bag contents. It works cross-character and cross-realm, so you can track down where you left that stack of crafting materials. It can search guild vaults. It uses as little... | |||||
Sick Of Clicking Dailies |
Feb 28, 2015 | OrionShock | Release | ||
Sick of Clicking Dailies is an addon designed to make picking up daily and weekly quests and turning them in easier and more streamlined when you quest in bulk. This addon simply skips through all the quest text when interacting with the NPC giving the quest. It also can automatically skip through gossip options and select a quest reward for the ones that have them, you can always leave it on none and the dialogue will stop there. This addon now automatically detects daily quests. Repeatable... | |||||
Snoop |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
Several patches ago, a new hidden chat channel was introduced, for the purposes of communication between players running the same addon. Deadly Boss Mods and Omen are two popular examples of addons which use this channel. Snoop prints out all the messages sent over the hidden addons channel. It is intended to help addon authors debug their communication; it's also useful if you suspect that an addon is flooding you with traffic but don't know which addon it might be (this should be less of an... | |||||
Truth In LFGing |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
This just-for-fun addon applies the "truth in advertising" concept to the new Dungeon Finder interface introduced in patch 3.3. Its only effect is to change the text on the buttons in the LFG tool as shown in the screenshots, because that's the way things are. :-) Sorry for the poor screenshot quality. Yes, I used MS Paint. I may make additional changes in the future as ideas come to me. (For example, maybe renaming the "Oculus" entry in the specific dungeon list to "Waaaaah, I Don't Like... | |||||
Widest Audience |
Nov 06, 2014 | Farmbuyer | Release | ||
The "/wide" command acts the same as: /raidwarning, if you're a raidleader or raid assistant, or /raid, if you're in a raid as a normal member, or /party, if you're in a normal group, or /say, otherwise It's meant for macros like "/wide Sheeping %t, stop kicking it!". I can't stand the addons which send to /yell and /raid and /party, because it's useless noise for the other 4 people in your group. And having to edit the macros to change between them is a pain. Thus, this mod. |

Hands On November 2012
Product reviews from street crews
Just Snip & Rip
Time is critical when attempting to access and treat wound sites in emergency situations, but when you're trying to cut through multiple layers of clothing, bunker gear, equipment, boots or even body armor, medic shears are often not up to the task. Rip Shears combines a trauma shear with a high-quality Ripper Unit. The Ripper unit features a 440A surgical-grade stainless steel blade tested by U.S. Navy SEALs for use in the harshest environments. The Ripper unit can also be purchased separately and bolted to most 7-1/4 or 7-1/2 trauma shears. To use the Rip Shears, you simply make a pilot cut with the shears, then insert the Ripper unit and pull down rapidly through the material. Using proper technique, anyone can fully expose a patient in less than 30 seconds.
Colors: Black, olive drab green, desert tan, glow-in-the-dark, orange and pink.
Price: Starts at $24.95; Ripper only $15.95; replacement blades $5.00
No More Improvising
Back in EMT school, you probably learned to treat open chest wounds by placing an occlusive dressing over the wound—of course, the occlusive dressing you would use was usually a matter of your instructor's opinion and might have been a gloved hand, D-Fib pads or packages, plastic bags, you name it. SAM Medical Products SAM Chest Seal takes the improvisation out of treating open chest wounds. The SAM Chest Seal is designed with a hydrogel adhesive that adheres extremely well to the skin despite the presence of blood, sweat, hair and sand, but also has the ability to reseal when there's a need for venting. A valve version that features a one-way valve for venting when the cap is removed is also available. The vacuum-sealed pouch can be peeled open to provide a sterile field and comes with a 5" x 9" absorbent pad for cleaning the wound area.
Size: 9.2" x 7.6"
Price: Non-valve $27.95 (two per pack);
with valve $22.50 (one per pack)
Class Registration Software

Enrollware also automates your American Heart Association certification card printing by automatically creating card printing files from your data. Enrollware's online class registration software eliminates the administrative paperwork and manual tasks typically associated with American Heart Association ECC class registration and enrollment.
Price: Starts at $49 per month

The King Vision from King Systems is a high-performance portable video laryngoscope that makes performing endotracheal (ET) intubation almost as easy as watching video on your smartphone.

The distal lens has a factory applied anti-fog coating, which eliminates the need for any warm-up time prior to use. From an infection-control standpoint, the King Vision allows you to perform endotracheal intubation without having to put your face anywhere near the patient's mouth. It's an ideal product for both routine and difficult intubations.
Screen size: 2.4" diagonal
Video aspect ratio: 4.3
Power: 3 AAA batteries
Price: Reusable screen approx. $1,100; disposable blades $30
Simulation Made Easy
Many instructors find that simulation systems take too long to learn and don't produce useful scenarios for students. The SimPad System from Laerdal Medical can make simulation-based training a "pick up and play" experience. The SimPad is compatible with Laerdal simulators and manikins, both new and existing, as well as the VitalSim platform. It's portable and can be used almost anywhere you need to do scenario-based training. The SimPad can be used in the automatic mode with pre-programmed scenarios or in the manual mode where you customize the learning experience. The improved features, large, easy-to-use touch-screen design, expanded ECG library, and new patient parameters combine to give you the ability to take your students on a realistic assessment and treatment path that is both challenging and educational. You can also upload scenarios and themes from a PC via a USB or download scenarios directly from the SimStore.
Size: 5.7" color display and touch screen
Power: Li-Ion battery; two AC power supplies
Price: $2,900

My wife and I took the dog for a long walk though our neighborhood this morning. She started off with a sweatshirt over her OWB holster/revolver, but it got hot, and it came off, leaving the holster very obvious open carry.
On the way back we stopped an talked to several new neighbors. I even noticed one elderly gent take notice of it. Not a word or question from anyone, nor any police at the door when we got home!
Pretty cool!
(my gun was concealed, as usual.)
