Having A Hard Time Creating A Tech Blog? Try These Ideas! Author: With today's technological age, blogging has become an important part of anyone's digital presence online. Many people have blogs and if you don't have one, you could be left in the dust. To understand blogging, you have to know every aspect of it. If this is your desire, then keep on reading. Use the correct spam filter for comments. If you require registration to comment, a CAPTCHA on the registration page is usually sufficient to keep spammers away. If you allow anonymous comments, an "advanced CAPTCHA," that is, one that asks the user for "the number of hours in a day" or something similar is usually enough. Avoid services like Akismet, as these produce lots of false positives. Choose an easy to find URL so users can find your blog quickly. Imagine if your blog had a URL with a long address, it would be incredibly hard to share it. That is why it is vital that your blog's website address is short and easy to pass along. Make sure you interact with your readers. Try to moderate all of the comments that you get from your readers. This will keep your blog alive and help you get your readers more interested in the topics that you are discussing. This is an easy step that is often overlooked. Try using features or excerpts on the homepage of your blog. If you made a different home page for the blog, you are not required to only list posts. Try using a single or double full posts on the page. This can help your reader remained focused. This can also help with clutter on your blog. An important part of having a blog is to voice your own opinions. Find a subject that you are truly interested in and are knowledgeable about and then put yourself out there. People like to hear the opinions of others. Opinions usually get a reaction and reactions garner readers and comments. Use bulleting to ensure that certain points stand out in your blog. Bulleting is used in traditional print media as well. That is because it makes even difficult to digest material more manageable for readers. Bulleting should be reserved, of course, for delineating the most important parts of your text. Create a blogroll. A blogroll is a list of other blogs in your niche that you find valuable. Creating such a list increases your blog's value to readers, as they may be able to find content that they couldn't find on your blog. If you use your blog for marketing, a blogroll will also increase your couldn't find on your blog. If you use your blog for marketing, a blogroll will also increase your credibility in the marketplace. Study the different blog platforms that are available on the web and their feature sets before choosing what you will use. Wordpress, Blogger, and Tumblr are three of the most popular and they all have their own pros and cons. Do your research on the different platforms and see what works best for your goals. Install a popularity contest or a similar plug-in. Even you do not make this information public (which you do not want to do if you do not rank high), you will have a clear picture of which post are attracting more attention. You will also know which subjects you could spend more time writing about. Try to include an about us page on your blog site. This is a place where you can connect to your readership and a place where you can explain what your blog is all about. This will help you connect to your audience and help you clearly define your blog for yourself. Don't overuse links. Links within the text of your blog are an effective way to direct readers to other areas of your site that may pertain to the subject, however don't abuse this technique. When every other word in your blog is a link, it can be very off-putting to readers. They are on the page to read that post, not every other page on your site. Try to include many links to similar blogs on your site. In many cases, when other sites find out you link to them, they will be willing to link back, which in turn can get you a ton of traffic. This is a simple step you can take to improve your blogging endeavor. Make your blog appear reliable and informative by keeping yourself informed of new ideas and information at all times. You need to create a good reputation and that means it is imperative that you know what you are blogging about. By keeping current on news and educated on your topic, you will be forming a reputation people will know they can trust. You now are equipped with the information and techniques needed to create meaningful blogs that are packed with information for your customers. The more informed they are, the more you will see the results in your bottom line. Employ the techniques you have learned here, and get started on writing unique blogs for your own website.

Discussion in 'Disney Rumors and News' started by mommymoose, Dec 26, 2012.
A new "Advenger's Land" would be cool!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
I think you might be on to something there. The WDW Facebook page says:
"Tune in to **** Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2013 tonight on ABC and listen for a special Disney Parks announcement to learn how you can spend more Disney Time with your family in the year ahead!"
That's easy, spend more money.
"Limited Time" and "Spend More"?
that woud be bad marketing.
I always thought that "Limited Time Magic" was a horrible marketing name, but it's in official releases as such. They might still rename it to "Disney Time"...but I'm wondering if they'll simply be announcing a new "X free nights" offer or something.
It's all good, no harm no foul
Found this on another dis board forum they feel this could be the announcement.
Waiting for an announcement.
I bet Ollyg is right about the announcement.
Yes it's Disney time contest win a trip every day of the month of jan
Looks like the promo to me. I'm ready to enter! It was so fun last year seeing all the Dis'ers that won one of the (60?)trips that they gave away. I think the odds are we'll see some this year too!
Have they announced yet?
anything yet?????
Happening right now...it's http://disneytimesweeps.com/
Just entered- it went through! Happy New Year!
Same here, Which did you choose? Went with the Happy Happenings here.
Happy New Year to those on the east coast and in the future land of 2013! From those stuck in the past on the west coast and 2012.
Went with the second one- Magical Memories I think it was. I LOVE Disney contests!
....and as expected, it's now overloaded... And I love how the message tells ME to correct the problem. I probably could if they gave me access to their servers...
Just got through entering, it took 4 attempts. Good luck to everyone. Happy New Year
Only 4 attempts for me too. was expecting much worse! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

OverDrive Deploys New Adobe Content Protection Service for Adobe Digital Editions
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
CLEVELAND, OH, Jan 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- OverDrive, Inc., a leader in digital media services for publishers, libraries, schools and retailers, today announced that it has begun making available to its customers a hosted application service designed to protect eBooks, digital newspapers and other e-publications for use with Adobe(R) Digital Editions. Adobe Digital Experience Protection Technology (ADEPT) protects publishers' rights while maintaining superior ease of use for consumers. For more information, visit www.overdrive.com/products/adept.asp. ADEPT is the only content protection service designed specifically for Adobe Digital Editions, the free, lightweight (less than 3 MB) software application for acquiring, managing, and reading eBooks, digital newspapers and other digital publications. ADEPT protects, from unauthorized use, files in both PDF and the new reflow-centric epub formats -- for example, it allows the publisher (or other rights holder) to set limits for sharing, copying and printing. "As co-developer and operator of ADEPT, we are proud to also be offering this new Adobe service to our customers," said Steve Potash, CEO of OverDrive, Inc. "Adobe Digital Editions is a great leap forward for digital publications such as eBooks and periodicals, and now publishers and other rights holders can confidently profit from this growing market by protecting their content with ADEPT." "Adobe selected OverDrive as our ADEPT development and operational partner based on their leadership and experience with e-publishing, libraries and retailers," said Bill McCoy, general manager for Adobe's ePublishing Business. "Customers who choose to purchase this service from OverDrive will benefit not only from OverDrive's proven solutions for publishers and distributors, but also from their deep working knowledge of Adobe Digital Editions and other Adobe products." As a hosted application, ADEPT includes an easy-to-use Web portal designed to streamline the content protection process. Publishers, distributors, libraries, retailers and other holders of eBooks and digital publications upload their files to ADEPT and then set desired permissions for each file (such as sharing, copying, printing and expiration). ADEPT applies DRM (Digital Rights Management) so each file is protected against unauthorized use, and provides secure download links via ADEPT Link to be used at the account owner's public-facing website to enable the files to be safely sold, loaned, rented or freely delivered. Regardless of the protections applied, the end user enjoys a seamless experience opening and reading the files in Adobe Digital Editions. With native support for Adobe PDF and the new IDPF standard epub format, Adobe Digital Editions already works seamlessly with more than 150,000 commercially published titles. Using Adobe Digital Editions 1.0 readers have found that epub content automatically re-flows, adapting to different screen sizes, and support for Adobe Flash(R) software enhances digital publications through the integration of rich audio and video. OverDrive also offers additional complimentary services to ADEPT, includingmanaging and protecting additional digital formats (like .WMA files for audio and .WMV files for video) and developing custom public-facing websites with e-commerce or library/lending features. For more information about Adobe Digital Experience Protection Technology (ADEPT), visit www.overdrive.com/products/adept.asp, or the Adobe ADEPT web page at www.adobe.com/products/adept.

J. Venkatesan
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has formulated guidelines to nudge litigants in cheque bounce cases to opt for compounding of offences during the early stages of the dispute without imposing costs on the accused.
The court said varying percentages of costs would be imposed on the accused if compounding of offences was opted for at different stages of appeal.
Under the Negotiable Instruments Act, if a cheque is dishonoured for insufficiency of funds in the drawer's account or if it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account, the drawer will be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with a fine which may extend to twice the cheque amount or with both.
A Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justices P. Sathasivam and J.M. Panchal, disposing of a batch of appeals, said compounding of offences might be allowed by the court at the first or second hearing without imposing costs on the accused.
If the accused made an application before the magistrate concerned at a subsequent stage, compounding could be allowed on condition that he deposited 10 per cent of the cheque amount with the Legal Services Authority.
If the application was made before the Sessions or High Court in revision or appeal, compounding might be allowed on the accused paying 15 per cent of the cheque amount.
If the application was made in the Supreme Court, the amount payable would increase to 20 per cent.

Two sodium lights vs sodium and metal halide
Rob_SJuly 3, 2014
This is my first post. I've been growing orchids for 30 years under fluorescent and sodium lights. I've been using combinations of one 400 watt sodium and one 400 watt metal halide conversion bulb over the last 10 + years.
I've been trying to find out without much luck if it is better to use two wide spectrum sodiums or one wide spectrum metal halide + one wide spectrum sodium. I get different recommendations from hydroponics shops saying 2 sodiums and continue with metal halide + sodium.
I've been using Hortilux as the sodium is corrected for good spectrum, but one shop said I still need a metal halide as well for the vegetative stage of the orchids.
Another shop said 2 sodiums will do a good job.

The 85th overall pick in the 2008 draft has scored 13 goals and 19 assists in 113 NHL games. He spent most of last season with the Portland Pirates in the AHL, registering 11 goals and 15 assists in 46 games.
Szwarz, the Coyotes fourth round pick (97th overall) in 2009, signed a two-year deal after scoring three goals in 26 games with the Coyotes last season. The 23-year-old was the Pirates' team captain last season, putting in eight goals and assisting on six others.

Sounds like things are humming along quite nicely for the Utes! "...But I
think that is just a testimony to the offense. We're clicking on all
cylinders. I don't think we've ever been this far ahead, as far
ahead as we are, at this point in spring." Here's hoping you'll
stumble just once, only against the Cougars, and then roll through your
conference. Now that would be so sweet!
Good luck to you guys! Looking forward to that day...with much anticipation of course!

I hope Adam Shultz takes over the QB position. I just don't see Wilson
getting the job done. He doesn't seem to have a lot of arm strength. It
didn't seem like he stretched the defense much last year, by throwing the
long ball.

These two guys are studs and create a lot of mismatches on the short and intermediate routes. From what I saw, both are good run blockers as well. Erickson has run and passed out of a single rb double tight end formations before. It would be great to have them on the field together occasionally.

Thank you to Bakemom &Everyone who sends her seeds!!
socalgardengalDecember 18, 2012
I just received a wonderful package of seeds from bakemom and was overwelmed by the generosity of strangers!! Thank you all so very much!! I've been gardening for 5 months and LOVE IT!
Happy Holidays!!!
Yes, thanks so much to bakemom and to everyone who contributed seeds! I've already sown a few flats and can't wait to do more over the holidays. Happy holidays, everyone!
I am newer to this forum so I don't know about donating to bakemom. But just the other day I "processed" my summer pointsettia (amaranthus) seeds from a few plants I grew last year. I have WAY more seeds than I need, yet I couldn't not try to get all I could from the stalks! I would be happy to donate if this is the sort of thing that is accepted. Someone let me know.

Can you ask cabinet people to itemize their estimate?
OR is that not done? I'm sitting here thinking that it would be so much easier for me to figure out how to work a design estimate to fit my budget if I knew how much each element cost. But no one (except IKEA and a couple other online joints) seem to provide any itemization at all.
And here's another thing: why would a KD put in a stemware rack and plate rack when you never asked them to? And the plate rack thingee is over the sink instead of the window that I drew in the outline that I gave her. Kinda strange, huh?
Anyway, can I ask for itemized costs from them?
You can ask, but you probably won't get it if you're just price shopping---which is just bottom line focused anyway. It's actually against SOP at most places to do anything but a bottom line price. Once you move out of the initial ballpark shopping phase and decide on a KD and cabinet line, sure you can get more of a verbal cost breakdown, but even then, you usually do not get a printout of every single detail with the costs until after the bill is paid.
My quotes from Lowes, a local cab shop, and my custom cab maker were detailed and itemized. I liked seeing exactly where my money was going in order to judge any place where the budget was out of balance so decisions could be made on reducing specific features, if necessary. Who knew that corner cabs were outrageously expensive in a semi-custom line? Wow. My custom guy was much less.
I didn't realize that so many places didn't itemize. Why not ask for more detail? Good luck!
Do ask her. I got breakdown quotes on Medallion, another semi-custom maker and custom cabinets (18 linear feet) offered without asking. I presented myself as a knowledgeable, detail specific person from the get go.
I believe you get what you ask for and if you don't, just choose to go elsewhere. It's YOUR money, not theirs. When they say "you won't understand it", just be firm that you will take the time to ensure you do.
I will give a list to a client that has signed a retainer. I don't think it is the answer in most cases but I'll don't mind giving it out. I say I don't think it is the best answer because- they can be difficult to understand but more importantly a list does not show you the alternatives you may have to save money. They can only show you what you can eliminate.
I base my work on trying to meet a budget. If a project is coming in over then I make a list of ways we can meet it- changing this saves $1k, that saves 1500, doing this this way instead saves $2k (nobody wants ever asks me to save $100) then the client has the option to decide what things are the most important to them and how to achieve the budget.
Our cabinet maker didn't give an itemized estimate, but gave us a breakdown of costs for what he considered upgrades.
So he gave us a price for cabinets, then had a line that said "42 inch uppers instead of 36" uppers - $1k", "upgrade to painted finish - $1000" but never gave us a breakdown of how much a 30" drawer base cost.
I would have liked to have it, since I like knowing where my money is going. I think I'm sufficiently TKO to understand it, but maybe the average customer isn't. I never asked for it directly, though, so I don't really fault him.
I don't see why they couldn't, since to get their estimate a designer enters their cabinet design into a computer program piece by piece. It seems very odd to me that a designer couldn't provide this information on request, with the understanding that the client will need them to help interpret why certain things are more expensive, or where they have alternate options both more and less expensive.
Otherwise it does seem a little too much like snake oil, to me, where you're paying a premium just to gain access to the computer program. Let the designer earn their salary by actually helping design, not by being the gateway troll to specialized software.
/rant, with no slurs intended to our many very fine designers on this board! But I dislike the opacity of the cabinet-buying process almost as much as the process of haggling for a new car.
My custom cab maker gave me an itemized list from the get-go, for the same reason circuspeanut gives - it was how he calc'd it on his computer. The initial estimate was based on my loose idea of so many cabs, so many drawers,hardware, add-ons,etc, then when I made changes, I could see exactly what it was going to cost for that change. So I had detailed estimates all along the way.
of the four I worked with, two didn't, one did right from the get go (his own calc sheet) and one did reluctantly once I started asking specific questions. I was way more willing to work with the open companies; it just engendered trust.
Also, I believe that for many items, the margins are obscene and if openly discussed would be cause for negotiation. For example, one quote for a pull out pantry I found out was $2100! The itemized quote showed the same tall pantry cupboard for $400 and a Lee Valley pull out pantry for $300! I would not want to explain $1400 difference as a designer if I didn't have to.
It seemed that the easily comparable items, like a 30" drawer cabinet, that can be seen online at Ikea or at HD or Lowes can be very competitively priced. However, where comparison is harder, like a pullout pantry, the larger margins get built in.
Well, I sent a list of cabs back to her with what I wanted specifically in each one and asked her to quote those and then I asked for specific cost of certain items like soft close feature, full vs standard overlay and some others.
We'll see what comes back and I agree with you, Circuspeanut, everything you buy has a price on it, what's the deal with the kitchen cabinet business?
circuspeanut- unfortunately it is not usually as simple as push a button and out pops a price. Most of the time pricing is done by hand. On a good day with a mfg website which doesn't export to anything worhtwhile, occasionally for some lines at some dealers you can push a button. That is rare.
I was wondering what can I say that is useful here. Few things come to mind. Deedles says "what's the deal with the kitchen cabbinet business" and that goes to one issue.
For many of us this is the kitchen design business NOT the cabinet business. Design is included- it is not free and a lot of the general public does not respect that it has a cost to the designer and is their property.
Another issue is how designers get paid. Typically a percentage of the profit, not a percentage of the sale. If you profit margin goes below a certain point your commission drops markedly. If the margin drops low enough you don't get paid at all on a job. KDs are not accountants, writers, they rarely start out as salespeople. Most come from some sort of art background. Have any artist friends? How are they with computers, schedules, spreadsheets....
KD's are almost always worried about screwing up the price and or some detail on the order. Every one I know tells stories of waking up at 3 am in a cold sweat over something they may or may not have missed. Add to that the fact that you can't usually just punch a button to get a price and the KD is worrying about getting paid. Now at a box store they CAN punch a button. That has been set up on a remote server by an IT department.
Back to the cabinet versus design business. IF you want to shop only price, or mainly price. Go in with a complete plan, bring the same one to each place, list the details, accessories, doorstyle finish etc. Tell them how you want some of the details finished. For that you should be able to get a listing of "this is what it will cost for what you are asking for" If not well walk away.
Note that if you change just a few things in that plan, suddenly the brand of cabinet that was the most expensive could become the one that is the least. That is the cabinet business.
OTOH if you want someone to do a layout, present ideas, solve problems, try to meet a budget, help with selection. Then you are not looking for someone in the cabinet business, you are looking for someone in the kitchen design business. That person will have invested at the very least half a day in your job just to get rough pricing, understand what the issues in your kitchen are and have an idea how to meet the budget. I typically put in more time than that between the first hello and the first desing meeting. To give you a list at that point is to give you my work for free. Why would that be a problem? Isn't that part of my job? There are dealers around who specialize in poaching. Take a layout or a list and lowball it for a quick sale since they don't have to invest any time.
Last thing and no one will like this but don't shoot the messenger please. I have limited resources to work. I have a life besides work. Where I used to work, with office support and sales support I could work with say 65-75 people a year and be selling about 40% of those. Nowadays (on my own) I can work with far fewer people. I've also had a run of larger and more complicated projects- multiple rooms in a house, bigger kitchens, more details. I sell a much higher percentage than I used to but have time for less people.
Every KD has some limit on their time to deal with customers. Every KD has had to learn how to be a sales person of some sort, and they get a sense of what kind of jobs are going to close. IOW who will be the customers that make it possible for them to get paid.
Hard core price shoppers are the ones with the lowest closing rate. It is generally thought that they will end up buying when they run out of time. I'm not saying they will conciously disregard you. It is human nature to invest more in what appears to be likely reward than in what appears to not be. Just because you are doing a kitchen doesn't mean that your going to buy from me. As I said, once on retainer I will provide a list for anyone who wants, they rarely do. On occasion, I have given a list to someone ahead of time. That has been when I guage that they are decent folks, I stand a good chance of getting the job, they are honestly looking for more than just a bunch of boxes, and I don't have tons of time invested into solving problems that I know the poacher couldn't solve. Even then once that list is given out I mentally cross them off the potential client list. If they come back that is nice but I do not expect it. And note that I have possibly the lowest profit margin in my region- I just don't advertise it.
On our end it comes down to what you are looking to buy, cabinets or our service. If you are talking to a serious KD they sell service accompanied by cabinets.
Sometimes they will at least show you the list, but not give it to you unless you have paid a retainer. Likewise with drawings. This is more or less how we dealt with ours, but by then we'd basically decided to go with him, and I'm sure he realized that.
Cabinet hardware (soft-close vs. non, etc.), materials (plywood vs. MDF or furniture board or whatever it is), cabinet material (oak vs. cherry vs. maple), style (inset vs. partial overlay vs. full overlay) and finish (stained vs. painted vs. painted+distressing) seemed to be the biggest price differences. What you really need first is a good layout, then you can figure out whether or not you need all the "upgrades" that will cost more money.
deedles - I'm having an issue that my GC doesn't even want to place a preliminary drawing into the contract that we were about to sign! I wasn't even at the estimate stage anymore and he wasn't itemizing! Needless to say, we're feeling a little hesitant!
Even at a box store, it is quite a bit more WORK to give you an estimate than "just entering it into the software". Each single choice causes a different result, and just entering in a straight estimate from a list of cabinets (no layout or design work, just a straight cabinet listing) can take at least 30 minutes, and have chances for umpteen mistakes in one of those variables. (Especially with an impatient customer standing over your shoulder!) If the customer doesn't know enough about cabinets to say a plain stained cherry versus a maple with a glaze or know if the 24" base cabinet will be a 3 drawer or 4 drawer and have plywood flush ends or integrated door ends vs. unfinished sides, well there goes your "estimate". It can be off by hundreds just on that cabinet alone. Magnify that by the 20 odd cabinets in the average design, and the multiplicity of choices within the spec book, and your quote could be off by thousands if you aren't providing 100% accurate apples to apples cabinet designations as a quote request. All of a sudden, that super cheap quote you got from Bubba's Discount isn't so cheap when the actual real choices for the kitchen start to be narrowed down.
If you are focusing on price as the main decider for your choice here, then you will surely manage to find the cheapest choice, and I do mean that in the pejorative manner. Where choosing an actual KD first can help you is in finding the best value. The two are NOT the same. If you come to me and tell me that your budget is 15K for cabinets and this is your wish list of how it should look and what features you want, then I have enough available lines in which to design to be able to get you what you want at the price you tell me. If you go to Bubba's Discount with a "layout" and request pricing, he'll come back with the cheapest line with the cheapest choices, and maybe you get all excited about only spending 7K on your "dream kitchen". Then, once you're hooked, he'll come back with the add ons and you'll be at 17K before you're finished with that. When you shop on price primarily, that's the game you are inviting others to play.
Do enough research to find out the features that are important to you and which of a dozen cabinet lines can give you those features. Then approach KDs who represent those lines and talk to them. Ask them about your layout and what they think of it first, and then ask them to ballpark the price as is. From that conversation, you can get an idea if the person is both creative and truthful. You want to further explore a relationship with the person who offers you suggestions as well as doesn't blow smoke about the cost of your dream list. You're not going to get stacked cabinets with glass in a painted finish and all kinds of drawers and pull outs for 7K, and if you do get a quote like that, it's time to RUN from whomever gives it to you. It's not realistic.
Once you decide on a KD, then ask them how to achieve the look you want with your budget. Doing it the other way around, where you demand the list and start cutting, is the WRONG way to do it. Let the expert wield the scalpel if needed rather than you trying to educate yourself enough to do your own open heart surgery. The expert can guide you through which of your choices are driving the price up and let you evaluate your attachment to those features. Overall, paint is usually a 15-30% upcharge depending on if you want plain paint or paint plus glazing or distressing, etc. For most, that's a non negotiable upgrade as it drives the entire look of the kitchen.
But sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet and pay the cost to be the boss. If you have a relatively large kitchen and want certain features, they are just gonna cost you and you have to find a way to afford what you want if you really do want it.

NM Police To Stop Monitoring Nuclear Shipments
New Mexico State Police says they'll no longer monitor shipments of nuclear waste traveling to a plant in Carlsbad.
Deputy Chief Pete Kassetas says the decision means a dispatcher will no longer monitor the shipments from a computer in Santa Fe.
KOAT -TV (http://bit.ly/13dzUu4 ) reports that the monitoring began about 15 years ago because there were worries about the security and safety of the shipments.
Kassetas said the state police would hear immediately from the federal Department of Energy if there's a problem.
The federal agency has a company that tracks the shipments 24 hours daily.

Irish Swimming and Diving Enter Final Weekend
Nov 30, 2012, 8:58 AM EDT
This weekend both the Irish men's and women's swimming and diving programs will compete in the last meet of the fall slate. The men will be competing in the Hawkeye Invitational while the women will journey to the Ohio State Invitational (the women divers are headed with the men to the Hawkeye Invitational though). Typically this last round of meets in the fall around the country is full of fast swimming and season-best times that help gauge where each program and their swimmers stand amongst the rest of the nation.
Before we enter this last round of meets, I have compiled a list of Notre Dame swimmers who have a top 50 time in the nation in an individual event using the help of www.collegeswimming.com. In a couple of weeks, I'll report back again and see if the Irish swimmers climb in the rankings!
Here is the list:

The day after he signed a franchise-record eight-year, $135 million deal to stay in Atlanta,
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Freddie Freeman was introduced as, essentially, the new face of the Braves' franchise.
"I don't ever think of that aspect of the game. I play this game to have fun, and I just try to go out there and work hard. For them to believe in me with this kind of contract, it's truly an honor and humbling," the 24-year-old Freeman said Wednesday as he sat between general manager Frank Wren and manager Fredi Gonzalez. "To have it this young, I never thought that would be even possible or imagined that. But I'm happy.
"This is a team that I want to play for for a long time, and I'm happy to be here the next three years. Then going into that new ballpark in Cobb County, it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm happy to be a part of that team."
Wren made it clear that Freeman, who finished fifth in the National League Most Valuable Player Award voting in 2013, is a cornerstone of the Braves' plan as they move forward. But Wren also made sure to point out that Freeman is only one part of Atlanta's future, which includes a talented young core that Wren hopes to keep as well.
"The last couple months, we've been putting together a plan that culminated with this signing, looking at how we could keep our team together, especially our young, homegrown players," Wren said. "We looked at how we could strategize to make that happen, and I think there's also an element of the new [stadium] situation in Cobb County three years from now that allows us to be more competitive, and I think that's evidenced by this signing.
"We put a lot of planning into it and we're excited that we're able to keep one of the best young players in the National League for the next eight years -- three years in this ballpark, five years in the new ballpark, and hopefully much longer after that. I think there's not a more worthy player on our ballclub."
After putting together solid seasons in 2011-12, Freeman took the next step a year ago as he hit .319/.396/.501 with 23 homers and 109 RBIs. Wren and Gonzalez both noted Freeman has only improved as he's matured, an important characteristic for any player in whom a team invests so heavily.
"He just keeps getting better. I think there's still a lot more that we're going to see out of him. We always challenge him. I kid him, but it's a challenge," Gonzalez said. "And I think before this is all said and done, this is going to be a contract that's well worth it, because he's going to keep getting better."
"I think when you look at what Freddie's accomplished in his first three years here as our first baseman, I think there was no doubt in our mind that we had found our first baseman, not only for the present, but of the future," Wren added. "He's turned into one of the best players in the National League ... and he just continues to get better. I think that was our focus as we looked at our team going forward. He could be a key component of that, and we wanted to make sure he was here for a long time."

COLDWATER — The New Bremen Cardinals survived a rough second quarter and made their free throws down the stretch to advance in the Division IV sectional tournament with a 64-55 victory over the Fort Recovery Indians at Coldwater. The Cardinals (13-8) will advance to the sectional championship on Friday at 8:00 against the Ada Bulldogs. Carson Manger led the Cardinals with 21 points and nine rebounds and Nolan Fox had 14 points.
Division II
MINSTER — Playing last week at Springfield made getting hit a little more painful than usual for the Minster Wildcats.
Minster rolled to a 48-13 win over Catholic Central, but a couple Wildcats said at times hitting the ground was the most physical part of the game on a field left almost barren of grass from flooding.
"At Springfield, you fall on the ground on your knees and it hurts," Minster's Ryan Bornhorst said. "It's almost like falling on concrete. It was dirt with patches of grass."
10 Years Ago This Week – 2001
As the girls' state cross-country meet unfolded at Scioto Downs in Central Ohio this weekend in 2001, the area was once again well-represented.
The Western Buckeye League boys basketball season tips off in less than a month.
Friday night league games start at 6 p.m.
Non-league games are subject to the home team's starting time. Here's all the scheduled regular season games:
UPDATE: Sites announced.
Division VI - Saturday, 7 p.m.
Minster (8-3) vs. Fort Loramie (10-1) at Wapakoneta Harmon Field
Marion Local (9-2) vs. Ada (9-2) at Lima Stadium
Delphos St. John's (8-3) vs. Tiffin Calvert (9-2) at Bowling Green State University Doyt Perry Stadium
Division V - Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Versailles (9-2) vs. Coldwater (8-3) at Dayton Welcome Stadium
Division IV - Saturday, 7 p.m.
A photo slideshow of the OHSAA State Cross Country Meet is available here:
HEBRON -- Runners seemed to like the new course for the OHSAA state cross country championships on Saturday, with area teams and individual running at the event in Hebron.
Celina's Hannah Fleck shined in the girls Division II race. Fleck ran fourth with an 18:31 time as a senior.
SPRINGFIELD -- Minster had been here before and played like a playoff tested team.
After a few first-quarter hiccups, the Minter Wildcats went out and dominated in their second straight appearance against Springfield Catholic Central with a 48-13 win in a regional quarterfinal on Saturday night.
"The glitz and glamour of being in the playoffs , it never crossed anyone's mind," Minster head coach Nate Moore said after the game. "It's been-there, done that."
FRANKLIN — The Wapakoneta Redskins scored 18 unanswered points to overcome an early deficit and pull away to a 24-13 win over the Franklin Wildcats (9-2) in a Division II regional football quarterfinal Friday night at Atrium Stadium in Franklin.
Wapak upped its record to 10-1 on the season and earned a trip to Piqua High School next Friday where the Redskins will take on the No. 1-ranked Trotwood-Madison Rams in regional semifinal action.
MINSTER — The good news in playing a Springfield Catholic Central team that is largely unchanged from a season ago when a 5-5 Minster squad stunned the top-seeded Irish is that the Wildcats knows what to expect.
"I think it helps having played them before," Minster head coach Nate Moore said on Tuesday. "It's kind of a been-there, done-that thing. We've been to their place and seen what the locker room is like, what the field is like. All those little things about going to new place? We don't have to deal with those."
Elida 54, Bellevue 20
BELLEVUE — Elida advanced in the playoffs for the second straight year with a convincing 54-20 win over Bellevue on Friday night. The Bulldogs scored on each of their eight possessions. Elida quarterback Reggie McAdamsn threw for 355 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for three more touchdowns. The Bulldogs (8-3) will now face Region 10 top seed Columbus St. Francis DeSales (8-3) next Friday night.

Nick Young's 'Ninja Turtles' Onesie Proves He's the Coolest Dad in the NBA
The Los Angeles Lakers may be having a dreadful year, but at least they've got Nick Young on the roster.
The Los Angeles Lakers may be having a dreadful year, but at least they've got Nick Young on the roster.
Eight playoff spots are still available as the 2014 NFL season heads to Week 16. Here's a preview of this week's most interesting storylines:
A bicyclist in California was enjoying a nice ride when, all of a sudden, a deer darts into his path, causing him to crash. Of course, this scary experience was all captured on video. This is insane!
Bubba Watson may have won the Masters (twice), but don't expect him to win any Grammys.
Forget LeBron or Anthony Davis -- the biggest stud on the hardwood this week is Ryan Sturdivan,
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is a terrifying force on the field and is quickly becoming a fan favorite off it. There's no better example of that than a picture Watt tweeted out Monday night.
Drew Brees passed for 375 yards and three touchdowns, and the New Orleans Saints routed the Bears, 31-15, in Chicago on Monday night.
It's the biggest sporting event in America, but that doesn't mean the Super Bowl is going to be played. Explanation, please.
How do you know bowl season is watered down like day-old beer at a frat kegger? When this happens.
Four teams qualified for the postseason in Week 15; just two weeks remain to fill out the rest of the field. Here's a recap of this week's action:
Marcus Mariota won college football's highest award in a landslide, becoming the first Oregon player to win the Heisman Trophy.
The junior quarterback received more than twice as many total points as the runner-up, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon
Despite losing quarterback Drew Stanton to a knee injury in the second half, the Arizona Cardinals used four Chandler Catanzaro field goals to beat the Rams, 12-6, in St. Louis on Thursday night.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' DC Horton: Rodgers presents a challenge
The Cardinals hit the road this weekend to face the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday. The past four weeks have been challenging and this week won't get any easier when the defense has to plan for one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Aaron Rodgers.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton was asked about what makes Rodgers so good but he thinks that's too long of a list to go through.
"Ok, an easier answer is what doesn't he do well and I could say nothing and stop there."
Horton emphasized that in his opinion, Rodgers is the best young quarterback in the game and there isn't much Rodgers can't do.
"He does everything extremely well," Horton said. "He's mobile, he's accurate, he's got a strong arm, he's a leader, he understands how to get tempo, flow, the touch on the back-shoulder fade. He doesn't do anything wrong or bad."
Rodgers currently ranks second in the league with a passer rating of 107.9, only behind Peyton Manning for the Denver Broncos. Rodgers has thrown 21 touchdowns this year and just four interceptions.
The Packers like to put the ball in the air and they do it often. They're seventh in the league in team passing offense, averaging 255 yards per game.
"They like to throw the ball everywhere. They throw the ball, that's what they do," Horton said. "They've got the MVP of the league a year ago. It's not just a prospect of whether they're going to throw the ball some, they throw the ball a lot. We expect them to put the ball in number 12's hand and be ready for that."
Kerry Rhodes, Adrian Wilson, Patrick Peterson, William Gay and maybe Greg Toler if he's healthy, will be busy but it's not just on the players to perform.
Horton feels he has a huge responsibility to put his guys in a position to succeed.
"When you watch all their films, you can't be one dimensional," Horton said. "I've got to do a great job of calling a great game to help the guys keep Aaron Rodgers off balance."
The last time these two teams met in a game that had some significance was January 10th, 2010 in the playoffs. The Cardinals came away with a 51-45 win but Aaron Rodgers threw for 423 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in the loss. That game was well before Horton's time here in Arizona but he's hoping to replicate the end result on Sunday.

In terms of decor, not what you would expect for New Jersey, has more of a New York feel! Rooms nice and clean, easy location. Breakfast and presentation was great. Only issue was lunch on the banquet side. Sandwiches were served, only two slice of meat on bread??? Also, the FATTIEST roast beef I ever saw.. How does that even make It out of the kitchen ???

Cowboys sign TE Escobar; top pick Frederick remains without contract
The Dallas Cowboys came to terms with second-round draft pick Gavin Escobar on a four-year deal Friday.
The contract is worth roughly $4.3 million for the tight end, who is set to back up Pro Bowler Jason Witten in 2013 and be groomed as his successor at the position.
Escobar's signing leaves only top pick Travis Frederick without a contract with less than a month before the start of training camp. However, with their other 2103 draft picks in the fold, the Cowboys believe they will soon get a deal with Frederick, who is already penciled in as the starting center.
Escobar is expected to play a big role as a rookie. The Cowboys plan to use more two-tight-end sets to get him and Witten on the field together. He could be a huge factor in the red zone.
The Cowboys report to training camp on July 19.

Not sure WTF this guy is talking about but the Tulsa win looks better and better every week. I don't know if I'm alone but I think I underestimated how good of a quality win that was.

Yeah, a team we beat is bowl-eligible! This negatively affects us in some way! Rabble, rabble, rabble!
They are a great example of why bowl eligibility should not just be based on pure w-l but on some sort of SOS factored formula. A team we beat soundly can rack up a bunch of wins with an easy schedule, while we have to be a top 25 program just to get to 6-7 wins.

Mexico Lindo: The BEST Tacos in Ensenada
Mexico Lindo is conveniently located next door to Hussong's Cantina and across the street from Papas & Beer - making it a popular late night spot for locals and tourists. This is a traditional sit down taco bar, with additional table seating as well. My suggestion is sit at the bar.
Choices consist of quality tacos of all types, incluing carne asada, baja-style fish tacos, fire seared pork tacos, home made salsas, burritos and other Mexican specialties. They also serve cold Mexican beer and a variety of tequilas and other spirits.
On my last visit, I had to sample one of the fish, carne asada (beef), al pastor (pork), and chicken tacos, all washed down with an ice-cold Pacfico. And topped off with a healthy shot of tequila.
TIP: With the fish taco - keep it simple - cabbage and white sauce (tastes like mayo). For the meat tacos - add some homemade salsa and guacamole.
Favorite Dish: The Fish Taco - try one and you don't need to ask why.
Numerous Taco Stands Throughout Ensenada: Baja Fish Tacos - The BEST !
While you are in Ensenada (or Rosarito Beach) you must try a fish taco - as well as carne asada, pork, and chicken tacos. But the fish taco originated in this part of the world, and it is a one of the must try signature dishes from the region.
According to local legend, fish tacos originated in Ensenada, where they have always been the street taco of choice. In the early '80s, they were discovered by a young Baja aficionado who begged the recipe off a street taco vendor and brought it northwest to San Diego. He opened a tiny taco shop named Rubio's in San Diego's Mission Bay that specialized in authentic Baja-style fish tacos. By the year 2000, there were over 100 Rubio's restaurants in Southern California and Nevada, which goes to show just how popular fish tacos have become.
For the best fish tacos south of the border these days, you have to travel to Ensenada, about 70 miles south of San Diego. My favorite tacos can be found at the taco stand next door to Hussong's Cantina - at a place called Mexico Lindo (see my separate restaurant review).

El Galeon: An oldie but a goodie in Puerto Nuevo.
El Galeon is one of the many lobster restraurants in Puerto Nuevo - a small fishing village between Rosarito Beach and Ensenada. Exit at PUERTO NUEVO and then turn left onto the old highway running parallel to the new highway - the village is approximately 1 mile down the road on your right.
The first really commercial lobster restaurant was started in 1955 by Rosario Grana, and it still is serving Lobster Puerto Nuevo in the same spot, which is on the very first southwestern corner of the main street of the town. Rosario is still presiding over her kitchen, and original customers will still feel right at home there because the general layout of the place and the food has not changed, though facilities have much improved over the years.
It wasn't long, though until other families were also moving out of their home kitchens and into areas where they could handle large crowds. Among the first of these were the Ortega and Plascencia families.
At most of the restaurants the lobsters come out split and cooked, with the halves stacked on a platter, served family style. The traditional way to cook them is deep frying, but they are available grilled or steamed upon request.
At the last lobster meal this writer enjoyed in Puerto Nuevo, four large halves were served for two of us. Beans, rice and tortillas are also served from bowls on the table, with drawn butter and salsa also to be passed around. Plenty is available for refills of the supplemental delight, and the price runs about $15-20 per person unless larger sizes are requested.
Favorite Dish: Lobster - BBQ'd or steamed.
La Fonda Hotel & Spa: Km 49 - Stop on the way to/from Ensenada
Just 45 minutes south of the Tijuana border on the spectacular Baja coast, perched above a sandy white beach and overlooking the blue Pacific is a long time favorite visitors spot, La Fonda Hotel/Restaurant/Bar. Featuring a lobster dinner to make your mouth water and a margarita to adjust your attitude to Mexico time, La Fonda has catered to international tourists for almost three decades.
I classified this place a seafood restaurant, but they serve a great T-bone, ribs, chicken, etc. etc. etc. The reason I call it a seafood restaurant is because I ALWAYS order the Lobster dinner, no matter the time of day.
The Lobster Dinner here is a tad pricier than what you'll find in most more casual places in Puerto Nuevo (just south of La Fonda). However, you get 3 small/medium sized lobsters (cut in 1/2 for a total of 6 pieces), a salad, cup of soup and rice and beans. My last one ran MP 280 (US$25).
The signature drink at La Fonda is the Banana Daquiri, which can be seen in the attached photo. I'll warn you that a whole banana, whipped cream and a marischino cherry come on top of this drink - making it look like a drinkable banana split. I always try and save room for one as my dessert.
TIP: Bring CASH, no Credit Cards accepted.
Favorite Dish: Lobster Dinner.
Banana Daquiri
Sanborn's: Good Family Style Restaurant
There is a nice family style restaurant in the Plaza Marina Center on Blvd. Lazaro Cardenas a short walk north of the giant flag pole. If you are driving, parking is available up the ramp to the left of the plaza entrance.
Favorite Dish: Pepitos de Res (Steak Sandwich).
Numerous Outside Vendors along the Waterfront: Home of the Fish Taco
I had never eaten a fish taco before we visited Ensenada, but when I learned that this is the home of the culinary delight I knew I had to try one. Frankly, it was nothing like I imagined; it was MUCH better. I had envisioned gound or chopped fish, something like you would get out of a can of tuna. Instead, the fish taco was a tasty firm filet of angelfish, fried a golden brown, and served in a soft taco shell - with an array of toppings.
I ordered only one to begin with in case I didn't like it, then promptly re-ordered three more. We went back the next day and had fish tacos a second time. Not only were they delicious; it was also the cheapest meal in town.

Señor Salud: Vegetarian Restaurants in Ensenada
Whether you are a full time vegetarian or just looking for a tasty change from the ordinary, there are three vegetarian restaurants along Calle Novena (9th street).
Favorite Dish: Fruit Salad, Torta Judia (Pita Sandwich), and also...each of them offers a daily special (comida corrida) starting about 2pm.
Cafe Tomas: Coffee and More
In addition to a great cup of coffee, tea, or expresso... Cafe Tomas donates 50 cents from each cup purchased to Casa Hogar del Anciano, which serves the housing, food, and medicine needs of the poor elderly here in Ensenada.
Casamar Restaurante y Mariscos: A Good Choice for Lunch
We first arrive in Ensenada shortly before noon, and chose this restaurant near our hotel for our first meal in town. The place has been around for 30 years and is still doing a brisk business, so they must be doing something right.
Favorite Dish: I followed our bus driver's suggestion and ordered the squid steak, breaded and topped with crab meat, chopped shrimp and wine sauce, with rice and steamed vegetables. It was a good choice.

El Meson de Don Fernando: Sidewalk Dining on the Main Tourist Street
This French Restaurant, complete with an attractive outdoor eating area on the sidewalk in front, was our choice for breakfast one morning in Ensenada. Actually, it would also have been a good choice for a lunch or dinner, especially for those who want something a little different than the traditional Mexican fare. We enjoyed sitting amist the greenery of small trees and many flowering plants, while city traffic passed just a few feet away.
Favorite Dish: The french toast can't be beat.

El Charro Restaurant and Bar: Irresistable Barbeque Chicken
I love chicken just about any way it can be served, and when we walked past El Charro Restaurant and Bar and saw these plump birds roasting on the rotisserie I just had to go in and have one. Actually, the chicken in the window looked even better than it did on the plate, but it was still quite good. An added feature was that there was a live female vocalist who stood in the balcony overlooking the main dining area and belted out some beautiful latin tunes while we ate. It was an enjoyable dinner.
- Food and Dining
Ensenada, with the ocean breeze and the warm sun, makes for a great place to head for a bar or restaurant to have a drink and eat some Mexican food specialties like tacos. The tacos can be made with corn or flour tortillas and filled with chicken, pork, beef or the Ensenada favorite, fish with a combination of shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, diced onion, diced tomato, a sprinkle of cilantro, splashed with a salsa sauce, muy caliente (very hot) and held like a sandwich to eat. The best.
When walking down the main street for tourists in Ensenada, you may pass by, no, make that, you will stop and look at the huge rotisserie of chickens BBQing in the window of Restaurante El Charro. A newer location and a very large dining area, El Charro has become the tourist dining mecca. The chickens roasting over the flames may draw you to the window but the food inside will bring you back. Watch the tortillas being made right before your eyes as you enter the restaurant. Heavy wood tables and chairs give this the hacienda feel. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
Favorite Dish: I find that a plate of Tacos, no matter what ingredients you put inside are so delicious to eat that it is hard to stop after three. There are many street vendors selling tacos and they are good, but to sit down at a nice table and have either a bottle of ice cold beer with a slice of lime or a salt rimmed glass filled with an crushed ice margarita drink, along with the ambiance and decor of the restaurant, then to enjoy a taco or two or even three with frijoles (refried beans) is divine.

Mango Mango: A good place to people watch
Mango Mango has great food, drinks, and is in a good location to watch people walk by.
There is also a second level that affords you a very good position to watch the wildlife across the street at Papas and Beer.
Favorite Dish: They have a good variety of Margaritas.
Monique Restaurant: Great Place to Eat on Calle Novena
If you are passing through town along Calle Novena (9th. Street), I highly recommend the Monique Restaurant, which is one of my favorites in Ensenada. Great food, daily dinner specials, and friendly staff.
Favorite Dish: Machaca de la Casa (Shredded Beef) for Breakfast.
Las Rosas Hotel Restaurant: A Good Place to Start!
Las Rosas is a place I like to stop at while in Ensenada. It is just north of the city and located on the Pacific ocean, it offers a wonderful view. Usually I stop here for an evening meal to watch the sun set.
The small dining room looks out to the poolside patio and past that to the Pacific Ocean. Service is wonderful.
Favorite Dish: Seafood of your choice, I like the lobster Puerto Nuevo and of course, the delicious Mexican Margarita, which you should know was created in Ensenada for Margarita Henkel, daughter of the German Ambassador to Mexico in 1941.

Thank you for selecting Mattress Firm.
For help completing your order and scheduling delivery,
Please Call 1-877-384-2903.
Or Click To Chat from any product page.
The 10" profile Dream has both Latex Foam and Memory Foam, and is designed for the ultimate in comfort and support. Starting with a 1.5" top layer, which consists of latex foam, uniquely conforms to every body size, shape and weight for a truly individual fit. Next is a 1.5" of Memory Foam, which consists of breathable open-cell memory foam that conforms to your shape and has a faster recovery factor than conventional memory foam. The 7" support base layer maintains the strength and effectiveness of the layers. The layers work together to bring you the relaxation you crave and the ultimate sleeping experience. Covered with a beautifully detailed pin-dot knit white top and woven charcoal grey sides for breathability. The 4-way stretch on the top conforms to your body for comfort, working with the top layer of ventilated memory foam to optimize its contouring properties.
Latex is derived from the sap of hevea brasiliensis, or the rubber tree. Natural latex milk is sustainably harvested with cuts made into the tree to allow the latex sap to be collected. The latex milk is then transported to factories around the world and is used to manufacture many highly reliant and durable rubber based products. Natural latex is very soft and very elastic and perfect for use in a mattress. Latex is designed for "breathability" with an open cell structure and special "pin core" construction, which allows for ventilation of body heat and wicks away moisture. Latex retains its firmness level, regardless of room temperature. Latex is hygienic, resistant to dust mites, is naturally hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. Latex will not support mold, bacteria, fungus or mildew and is perfect for pulmonary allergy sufferers.
Memory foam slowly and automatically adjusts to your body weight and temperature. In addition to the slow, conforming response, memory foam offers complete, luxurious and stress free support. This can allow the spine to stay in a neutral position. Should you move during the night, your partner is never disturbed due to the lack of reciprocal movement between sleeping partners. Additionally, when you do move in bed, memory foam gently "fills in" and reshapes itself to your new sleeping posture, cradling every part of your body.
This next generation of memory foam is more porous or open than conventional foam meaning the cells are interconnected unlike closed cell foam; thereby is more breathable and comfortable than higher density visco elastic foam. The open-celled physical structure of our foams is self-ventilating. Air is able to travel throughout the material and actually dissipate body heat regulating your body temperature. Memory foam is naturally antimicrobial and resistant to allergens, mold, bacteria and dust mites.
It is also a good idea to check the size of the bed frame you are placing the mattress on to make sure you are ordering the correct size. The main difference between the King and Cal King mattresses is the King is a wider mattress and the Cal King is a longer mattress. The King is 76" wide where as the Cal King is 72" wide. The Cal King is longer by about 4" and a great solution for taller people.
Smart packaging reduces the carbon footprint in the manufacturers shipping process. Our advanced packaging technology means we can roll-pack our mattresses and ship them at one-third of the normal size. As a result of this process, we can ship more mattresses per delivery and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. A mattress that is roll-packed still retains its initial quality, as each will quickly recover and return to its original shape after coming out of the packaging.
Our Memory Foam is CertiPUR-US certified. This is a voluntary testing, analysis and certification program for flexible polyurethane foam used as a cushioning material in home furnishings such as adult mattresses, crib mattresses, upholstered furniture and some accessory comfort products. Certified flexible polyurethane foams have been independently laboratory tested.
Waking up on the right side of the bed is easy when sleepers put the Snuggle Home 2-Inch Blended Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper on their current mattress to add extra comfort. The cool-blend gel memory foam helps keep bed occupants cool throughout the night by dispersing extra heat. Its open-cell foam construction offers a superior sleeping experience because less air buildup and more circulation ensure that sleepers get a quality night's sleep. This topper's 2.5-pound density memory foam relieves pressure points that can cause discomfort while sleeping, meaning less discomfort helps bed occupants get more hours of uninterrupted rest. The Snuggle Home 2-Inch Blended Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper is a sleek addition to any mattress, and it provides a level of comfort that is difficult to match for the price.

WANTED: testing
Nice to see that this is now available. Perhaps the Birthday Block Exchange will relocate to this spot if it is still available in 2013. Since we began 2012 on the regular board I think we will stay there for now or some of the members will never find us.
I may be hostess for some kind of exchange here later in the year. I hope someone else will offer an exchange, too.
Thanks for giving this a try.
Just a question - right now every posting goes under the one heading. Will there eventually be a way to having different headings? For example, we would have a heading for each quilter in the Birthday Block Exchange and then when people send to that quilter or she/he receives the block, the birthday person responds that she/he has received it. It's best if all of those postings stay together under that one name. If next year we have 36 Birthday Block participants like we did last year, this manner of posting will be way too confusing.
Just a thought...
I've found that if you scroll wayyyyy down you can start a different topic. At this point, there is also the header WANTED or HAVE TO TRADE which accompanies your new topic post. They won't always apply like for the Birthday Block Exchange though and maybe aren't even necessary.

DEFINITION of 'Lewes Pound'
A local currency used in Lewes, East Sussex, United Kingdom. Only local businesses accept Lewes pounds, which are part of an initiative to encourage consumers to shop locally. Lewes pounds are also intended to help lower carbon emissions by reducing the quantity of goods that must be transported long distances for commerce in Lewes. Consumers can obtain Lewes pounds at designated issuing points and spend them with any local merchant that accepts them. Lewes pounds are paper bills that come in denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 21.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Lewes Pound'
One Lewes pound is worth one pound sterling. There is a 5% transaction fee (5 pence) associated with acquiring Lewes pounds. The 5% goes to the Live Lewes Fund, which supports local community organizations.
Because it is not intended to replace the pound sterling, but rather to function alongside it, the Lewes pound is considered a complementary currency. It is legal for merchants to transact in Lewes pounds, but the currency is not legal tender, so merchants do not have to accept it. Some merchants offer discounts to customers who pay with Lewes pounds.
