Hi, I came across your blog, and I thought you would be the perfect person to contact.
My name is Jay Siva, the founder of EZBuyButton.com, an easy 'buy book' widget for authors. I'm contacting you today because I think you and your readers would love to know about the EZBuyButton widget I've created.
It is the most advanced 'buy now' widget for selling books. I make it free for authors and publishers, worldwide, to quickly and easily create and use our EZBuyButton widget to place on their website or blog to immediately increase the sales of their books, especially if their books are listed for sale in more than one retail store. I made it super easy, with just a few clicks they just copy & paste a piece of code onto their website/blog, and they're done.
The widget allows website visitors to select which device they'd like to use to read the author's book, and then select their preferred retail store that they'd like to purchase the book from. It also geolocates the visitor's location and will send the visitor to the correct country specific retail store so that they can buy the author's book. The widget is also fully customizable, and the author will have access to detailed real-time statistics of the use of their widget.
I would like to invite you to visit my website, and try out the EZBuyButton widget. I hope you find that my widget will be useful to you and your readers, including all the authors, literary agents, and publishers you're in contact with.

LAS CRUCES >> As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra used to say, "It ain't over 'til it's over." And it ain't over for baseball in Las Cruces.
After leaving Las Cruces two years ago, the Vaqueros semi-professional baseball team will again play in the Pecos League in 2015.
"I get to wear my hat again," Las Crucen Brian Theodorson said.
Pecos League President Andrew Dunn said Wednesday the Vaqueros will return to Apodaca Park next season as one of nine teams in the league.
"The schedule won't be finalized and released until Friday, but it's looking more and more like it's going to happen," said Dunn. "From a travel perspective, if the Pecos League is going to keep its franchise in Arizona, then it makes sense we have a team in Las Cruces."
Wednesday, the league's website, www.pecosleague.com, included the caps of nine teams: the Alpine (Texas) Cowboys, the Bisbee (Arizona) Blue, the Vaqueros, Las Vegas Train Robbers, Roswell Invaders, Santa Fe Fuego, Taos Blizzard, Trinidad (Colorado) Triggers and White Sands Pupfish. Santa Fe was the league champion this season, and the Triggers were featured in a six-episode reality series on the Fox Sports 1 cable network this summer.
Each Pecos League team will play a 70-game season next year. The league will be divided into three divisions, which includes Las Cruces, Bisbee and Las Vegas in the southern division; Trinidad, Santa Fe and Taos in the northern division; and Roswell, Alpine and White Sands — which plays its games in Alamogordo — in the western division. The winner of each division will advance to the league playoffs. The fourth league playoff spot will be decided between the two teams with the best records that didn't win their division. Those two "wild card" teams will have a one-game playoff.
Dunn said the 2015 Pecos League all-star game will be played in Santa Fe.
The Pecos League is independent and not affiliated with Major League Baseball. It is generally considered the lowest level of professional baseball, but Dunn was quick to say numerous players in the league — as well as former Vaqueros — have been promoted.
"We just had our first player pitch in the majors, for the Texas Rangers," Dunn said. "We've had a lot of players move up, get promoted, quite a few this year. ... What a lot of people may not know is that every player on the last Vaqueros team got promoted, too."
City officials said Wednesday they will be meeting with Dunn in the coming months to finalize details for the team's return to Apodaca Park. When the Vaqueros left Las Cruces after the 2012 season, the team — and the league — left on good terms with the city.
"I have not talked with Andrew lately," said Mark Johnston, city parks and recreation director. "However, I know he was working on securing a vendor to serve beer at the facility and was optimistic about getting things in place for next spring. He'll be working with our legal folks on the licensing requirements. The rental of the stadium will be processed as a facility rental, similar to how we operate with tournaments and adult leagues. The rental rate will be based on hours of use and level of maintenance requested for each game."
Dunn added he was hopeful he could meet with New Mexico State University officials to discuss the possibilities of playing Vaqueros games at Presley Askew Field, where $1.4 million in renovations are expected to be made.
When the Vaqueros disbanded after the 2012 season, Dunn was critical of the lack of business support the team received while it was in Las Cruces. Dunn said he was urged, during a meeting earlier this year with business leaders, not to bring the Vaqueros back.
"There's not going to be that backfill of support," Dunn said wistfully. "That's just the way it is. But you've got to have a place to start. We can make it work in Las Cruces because of our league. Let's play ball and do the best we can."
In the three seasons the Vaqueros were in the Pecos League, the team had a 86-68 record.
Some Las Crucens said they welcome the Vaqueros return.
"We have missed them, we will be there," said Terri-Lyn Mick, in a post on the Sun-News' Facebook page.
"Let's show the boys some support Las Cruces," added David Ortiz.
The 2015 Pecos League season will be from May 21 through July 31. Tickets will be $6 per person.

Microsoft: Windows tablets are catching up, PC still young
updated 02:15 pm EDT, Sat August 20, 2011
Microsoft maintains PC not middle-aged yet
Microsoft's Corporate Communications VP Frank Shaw maintained his defense of Windows again with a response to the upheaval of the past few weeks. Trying once more to downplay "post-PC" talk, he argued that PCs not only had some core features that only they could do but that devices like the iPad were losing the advantage. Tablets were just "companions," and computers were "rapidly and dramatically" improving on what these and other mobile devices were doing, Shaw said.
Elaborating, he also maintained that there was a split between what mobile devices and PCs could do. Both could communicate with others and consume content, but only PCs were doing a good job of creating content and collaborating with others. Those last two tasks were "central to the idea" of a PC, Shaw contended.
The executive criticized journalists and accused them of creating a situation where tablets could only 'kill' the PC, not simply act as a complement. The majority of the devices were simply bolstering existing technology, not replacing it. PCs as such were not only alive but young and still had ample room to grow.
"While it's fun for the digerati to pronounce things dead, and declare we're post-PC, we think it's far more accurate to say that the 30-year-old PC isn't even middle aged yet, and about to take up snowboarding," according to Shaw.
The argument that PCs weren't being hurt carries ironic but possibly deliberate timing. HP, in axing its mobile devices and seriously contemplating quitting the PC business, specifically blamed tablets for wanting to get out of traditional computers. The company is currently the world's largest PC builder and, while it may sell off the division to a competitor, is expected to disrupt the PC industry if and when a sale happens.
Most industry analysts, including those at Gartner and IDC, directly attribute the iPad and other tablets for a shrinking PC market across the majority of Windows manufacturers.
Devices like the iPad do currently face limitations in creating content, although some of this has been attributed to performance and relatively young operating systems rather than limitations. Most of Microsoft's attempts to catch up are centered not on the present, like Shaw claims, but on the future. Windows 8 is designed to give Windows tablets a genuinely touch-native interface for the first time and will support ARM processors, potentially giving them the battery life and thin profiles that Windows tablets don't have right now. The OS won't be sent to manufacturers until at least April, however, and is leaving Microsoft without true competition for as much as a year.

While small business groups support tax reform in general, they aren't happy about President Barack Obama's "better bargain"--at least judging by their responses to president's speech re-introducing the tax reform proposals earlier this week.
First introduced during his 2012 presidential campaign, the proposed reforms would include reducing corporate tax rate and increasing the amount of investments that small business can write off each year. But some groups have reservations. Here are four reasons why.
The president's proposal is too limited.
"On tax reform, we agree with the President on the importance of lowering the U.S. business tax rate, now the highest in the developed world. But corporate tax reform should be part of a comprehensive fix for the individual and business tax codes," said John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, in a statement.
It offers little to small businesses ...
"It focuses on reducing corporate tax rate, but 75 percent of small business owners pay taxes on the individual side of the code. This doesn't do anything to reduce their taxes," Chris Whitcomb, a tax attorney with the National Federation of Independent Business, told FOX Business.
Martin Regalia, chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, agreed with Whitcomb, noting that the President's speech provided nothing of substance and does not address individual income tax codes that cover many small businesses.
According to a recent study, 69 percent of U.S. entrepreneurs start their business at home and 59 percent continue to work from home, even after it's up and running.
... and too much for large corporations.
"Small business owners need corporate tax reform to focus on requiring corporations to pay their fair share for economy-boosting investments that bolster consumer demand on Main Street, not lowering corporate rates," Reshonda Young, operations manager at Alpha Express in Waterloo, Iowa and member of the Main Street Alliance executive committee, told The Washington Post.
According to a recent poll by the alliance, more than three quarters of small business owners support closing offshore tax loopholes that many corporations benefit from.
Engler agreed, noting in his statement that "corporate tax reform must include a competitive, hybrid international tax system, where a company's sales in foreign markets are taxed at the same rate as other companies in that local market--their closest competitors."
There's too much uncertainty on permanence.
Molly Brogan, communications director at National Small Business Association, told FOX Business that while expensing is the way to small business owner's heart, such owners need to have a clearer senses of whether such proposals are permanent or just for a limited time only.
"Permanency is important to us. Taxes are complex for small businesses, so it's absolutely helpful to know if it's ongoing, or if it will only be there for one year and then phased out," she said.

Chualar, CA is a residential community about 15 miles southeast of Salinas on Highway 101 that mainly houses farm workers, many of whom speak only Spanish.
Customers from Chualar approached the PUC to voice their concern about the high bills.
This Fall, CalAm joined with a seven-member Chualar committee to begin work on this project.
Once the retrofit is complete, and data on water use are available, PUC staff and CalAm will design rates that will both provide customers with price signals about use and cover the costs to the utility.

The Concept
U.S. Navy Seals in the 22nd Century
Powerful and fast, yet warm and funny – the seal exhibits a combination of traits perfectly suited to serve as the basis for characters in a children's action/adventure comedy for the cartoon or comic book medium. Given that the acronym of the Navy's Special Forces group matches the name of this creature, you won't find a much better fit. By placing "real" Seals in the role of the U.S. Navy SEALs, we feel this concept has the potential to offer the best of its genre.
Accidentally caught in a military space-time experiment gone awry, five male and two female seals along with a wise old walrus and a flock of crafty penguins, are suddenly evolved to the intelligence of modern man with physical attributes that blend the best of man and seal. Rescued by the U.S. Navy, the advanced seals quickly adapted to human ways under the tutelage of naval personnel.
Becoming too comfortable with human amenities to return to their lives as ordinary seals, yet too different to quietly blend into human society, these young Seals make the Navy their home and dedicate themselves to protecting the seas from whence they came. Seizing upon their military potential, the Navy brings them into the service, creating a new unique unit of their elite Special Forces group, the
Navy SEALS
(acronym updated for the 22nd century with a capital 'S' at the end to represent space missions).

Concept Summary
USNS - The Complete Proposal.pdf
The New World of the 22nd Century
Navy Introduces New Special Task Force
USNS Comic Book Outline
Trained for Sea, Air, Land, and Space missions, as the acronym implies, these Navy SEALS are faster, stronger, and by far funnier looking than their human counterparts, yet just as intelligent, cunning, and compassionate. Immensely powerful and agile when in the sea, even more so than their non-evolved brethren, the seals use their natural abilities and knowledge of the oceans combined with naval tactics and advanced weaponry and vehicles to keep the forces of evil at bay. With each seal having assimilated the unique personality, accent, mannerisms, and attitude of the Naval officer assigned to train them, the SEALS team is a tapestry of the many cultural and ethnic and backgrounds that make up America. At the same time, they continue to exhibit some of the natural traits common in most seals, including a penchant for comical antics!
Set in the 22nd century, the story features a world where the oceans have become the center of man's attention – the answer to many of mankind's problems, but also a source of power for those who could control it. Giant floating cities throughout the world harness its resources to bring life back to a once dying planet. Protected by United Nations forces under the U.S. Naval Command, these ocean cities have become the unexpected new frontier of this time – a place where hi-tech pirates and corporate mercenaries clash with the Navy for supremacy of the sea.
Amidst this backdrop rise two new and very powerful groups that threaten to destabilize the world. Two groups, two species – one human, one polar bear, who share the same origin as the seals but whose evolution shattering transformation gave them abilities and power unlike the world has ever seen – powers they have chosen to menace mankind with. However, unbeknownst to them, a group of similarly evolved seals stand poised to defend the world!
Helping them in this difficult transition, to their surprise, is a similarly evolved wise-old walrus they met in the ocean in the ocean on the day of the accident who was young at the time, but through a rip opened in the space-time continuum, arrived on the scene decades earlier, and who has since grown old and risen to the rank of Admiral – a secret closely guarded by the Navy for decades.

- From: Townsville Bulletin
- June 28, 2014
TOWNSVILLE'S most expensive beach, a $15 million holiday hideaway of the rich and famous, is set to attract huge attention this weekend as two of Nobby Headland's best properties go up for auction.
In the past, this enclave on Magnetic Island is rumoured to have garnered interest from John Travolta and John Farnham, while Michael Edgley is said to have once bought a block within the development.
There has been an influx of interest from high-profile buyers looking to join the swanky neighbourhood, but it won't come cheap – as one of the 17 subdivisions holds the record as Townsville's highest-selling single residential block after a Melbourne buyer bought a 1748sq m elevated ocean lot for $1.3 million in July, 2008.
Lots 1 and 10 will be auctioned onsite at 11.30am tomorrow. They are owned by Brisbane-based couple Tony and Judy Finlay, both in their 70s, who purchased the headland 22 years ago for $550,000.
"We came for a holiday and left with a headland," Mr Finlay said. "We subdivided to only one sixth of the headland's density, releasing only two blocks every year for sale and kept the best blocks for ourselves; buyers are assured these properties are some of the best real estate you will ever find on the east coast.''
Lot 10 was the block the Finlays wanted to build their retirement home on – it has 3046sq m of absolute high-water mark oceanfront land – and Lot 1 is their current holiday home, with two restored fishermen's cottages up to 100 years old on 1643sq m. Both include access to private beach and a communal deck for residents to enjoy.
"We didn't want Nobby Headland to be the next Hamilton Island – we wanted it to be something really special because this landscape is spectacular enough with its granite boulders, hoop pines and panoramic ocean views, so owners have strict environmental covenants they must follow to build,'' Mrs Finlay said.
But after more than two decades the Finlays, who won an Environmental Excellence Award for sustainably developing the headland, have decided to sell due to recent ill health and a desire to travel.
But Mr and Mrs Finlay will not be forgotten, said Best of Magnetic Real Estate sales agent Alex Strens, who believes their unique approach to the development is the reason it's attracted such affluent residents – with professionals from Melbourne, Hobart, Singapore and Hong Kong flying in for annual holidays in their own private homes in paradise.

What Does a Girl have to do to Get Her Trash Can Picked Up?
- 31 Jan 2012
- Written by Jennifer Marquez
TALKIN' TRASH - My sad black city trash can has been neglected by the City of Los Angeles for years. While his friends, the blue and green trash cans, get picked up weekly, the black can gets left behind on a regular basis.
I have called 311 many times over the years and even had a supervisor look into our issue. But still, he is ignored. He is so sad. I bring him in with the others so he does not have to stay out on the busy street alone and get pushed around by cars.
The city says to call if he is missed but it takes them up to three more days to come back. That is too long for him to be alone on the mean streets of San Pedro. He gets moved by people so they can park their cars and all sorts of weird stuff gets dumped inside of him.
We put him out every week and pray together that this will be the week he will be picked up. In the last six weeks, he has been picked up two times.
He is not damaged either, he is just like the rest of the trash cans on the street. It was hard when he wasn't picked up over the Holidays. He was full of left over holiday cheer and ants made a new home on him. What a mess.
Sometimes I think about delivering him to the Council office full of his holiday cheer and rolling him into their lobby, but he is too hard to get in and out of our car.
I have even asked the city for a refund, since I am paying for services I do not receive. The City says no, I cannot get a refund. Sometimes I wonder if it is legal to charge people for services they do not receive. I will have to look into that.
Please say a prayer that our sad black trash will be picked up every week. He just wants to live a good, normal life like the rest of the trash cans on the street.

International Herald Tribune
December 3, 2008For almost three years, this column has devoted itself to exploring the challenges of globalization: how governments, businesses and individuals strive to reduce their risks and take advantage of new opportunities. One crucial question still remains: How should societies as a whole manage the transition to a more globalized world?
In essence, globalization is a process of integration. Markets for commodities, manufactured goods, services, labor, investment funds and even ideas are becoming more and more connected. Over the past couple of decades, these connections have formed at an unprecedented rate.
The process of connection and integration depends fundamentally on trade. Certain things can be stolen or obtained without a direct cost, but most things must be bought. Most transactions have a buyer and a seller who trade voluntarily, even though they may not be able to control the price.
According to economic theory, every voluntary transaction leaves both parties at least as well off as before. If it didn't, they wouldn't trade. But the benefits of the transaction aren't always equally distributed. And there are losses, too; by entering into one transaction, the buyer and seller may bypass other transactions, and that can hurt the people who are left out.
Yet the most basic economic models suggest that globalization should benefit the world as a whole, and even that everyone on the planet could be made better off, if only the gains of globalization were properly distributed.
Right now, the world does very little to distribute those gains. Consumers in rich countries who benefit from access to a wide variety of low-cost imports don't band together to aid local producers that go out of business. Exporters who open new markets in emerging economies often exploit lax regulation and weak competition rather than trying to ensure a brighter future for the citizenry.
There are some initiatives, like the Trade Adjustment Assistance program in the United States, that attempt to retool struggling businesses and retrain unneeded workers. They are few and not especially successful. Yet tinkering with them until they are successful could be very worthwhile, more so than the basic economic models might suggest.
The reason has to do with the concentration of the gains from globalization. In general, globalization has been a force for less inequality between countries and more inequality within countries. On the one hand, the opening of markets allows less-developed economies with reduce productions costs to catch up with more-developed ones with higher production costs. On the other hand, the gains from that catch-up process often accrue to the people with the most education and wealth in the less-developed economies, while the losses often fall upon the least educated, poorest people in the more-developed ones.
There are important exceptions, of course. Hundreds of millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty in the past two decades, a substantial number of them because of surging Chinese exports. Likewise, hundreds of millions of working-class people around the world have benefited from the inexpensiveness of those very same exports.
Still, in many countries the gains from globalization have been concentrated among the wealthy, while losses from globalization have been concentrated, if not among the poor, then at least among the relatively disadvantaged. And there is the magic of the thing: Each dollar of gain to a person of privilege might mean much more in the pocket of a less well-off person.
Distributing the gains from globalization could therefore be a more socially productive process than those basic models, which assume that a dollar is worth the same to everyone, might suggest. That doesn't mean it's easy, though.
Indeed, there is a dearth of holistic approaches to this problem. Should the United States enact a new GI Bill – which offered higher education to returning World War II veterans – to reincorporate the legions of workers displaced by globalization into the labor force? Should there be an international code of conduct, and an enforcement body, for businesses doing business outside their home countries? Should all countries contribute to a fund to identify and clean up the side effects of globalization?
These kinds of ideas could help the world to realize its full economic potential. I am putting down my pen for now, but I hope others will continue to discuss and pursue them.
