Shane chance beating Flyod !!!
Shane cant play technical or Flyod will beat him by UD through his famous pot shots. But if Shane closes the gap and overwhemed Flyod, there a chance Shane might knock out Flyod. Remember Flyod likes to control fight and hates being put in awkward situations.

Shane can KO PBF anytime he lands the right shot, if he can actually land it flush. I don't see him getting a decision unless a couple of KD's are involved in the scoring for him.

Shane already said " If Floyd thinks he's going to pot shot me, it ain't happening". Very old trick.

Finally set up the crib tonight! Baby is sleeping with us in our room, but I am ok with it. I want him close to me anyway. I am still waiting on our wall decal I ordered to put up on the wall and the hanging letters we got that spell out "BABY" just so it's clear that side of our room is for baby David. I am so so excited now. I really can't wait for him to come. Please add on and share your baby's rooms too!
Baby's crib set up - share your rooms too!

Love it :) We can't agree on our bedding yet, but she won't have it in her crib. Be careful of the bedding because of sids. My pic is ours for now :) Sheet will be changed lol
@mommy diva yes, i have heard a lot of warnings about crib bumpers, but i tied them very tightly so i know they are secure. i will probably remove the bumpers after a few weeks once baby starts squirming around anyway.

Married to my beautiful Camilla 9/3/2010 and mommy to little Miriam 2/12/2013!!!
Beautiful colors!
And just so you know, its not just about a baby pushing their face against them, but its also the lack of air flow through the crib. I kind of find the sets useless, because by the time its not a SIDS risk, babies will start climbing on them and may hurt themselves.
We are using our bumpers for decoration around the nursery... like behind the shelves on the changing table, so diapers and baby goodies don't fall. Plus I think my gma is going to try and make a pillow for the glider and possibly a boppy cover to match with the material. The rest of the material will be used in frames and on the wall.... at least that's the plan. ha!
Married to Ryan 09.25.10
Charlotte Darlene soon to be 2!!!
Beautiful crib!!! :) It will look even better with a sweet little baby sleeping in it!! :)
Also, do whatever you want with your bumpers! Leave them in the crib, use them for decoration, throw them in the trash! You're a smart woman, I know you will be just fine! ;)

Cute! My husband is still partially in baby's room, with office desk and laptop, he even took over my glider and ottoman! So it's decorated but looks not fully baby's :)

Western Motifs in Machinal and Hope for a Harvest
Richard Wattenberg
Since 1980 a number of women playwrights have written plays dealing with what had previously been viewed as an almost exclusively male domain: the American frontier West. Plays like Marsha Norman The Holdup ( 1983), Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek Quilters ( 1984), Beth Henley Abundance ( 1989), and Darrah Cloud's adaptation of Willa Cather O Pioneer! ( 1989), have all challenged the traditional frontier Western myth by offering fresh views of the pioneer woman.1 To a certain extent, this kind of reinterpretation was prompted by women historians like Julie Roy Jeffrey, Sandra Myres, and Glenda Riley,2 who--since the late 1970s--have presented a great deal of historical data to refute overly simplified frontier woman stereotypes such as "the gentle tamer," "the sturdy help-mate," and the "Calamity Jane figure" ( Myres1-4); however, the concerns of contemporary playwrights are not without precedents in the American theater. In fact, Sophie Treadwell, a native Westerner whose plays appeared occasionally in New York during the period 1920-1941, introduced themes that are similar to those developed in recent women's plays dealing with the Western experience. Strictly speaking, she never wrote a frontier drama, but her sense of the West, both past and present, molded her plays, and, consequently, she may be seen as a significant forerunner to contemporary playwrights dealing with the American frontier West.
Sophie Treadwell was born in Stockton, California, in 1882, but her family moved to the San Francisco Bay area when she was a small child, and it was there that she received most of her formal education which was concluded with a Bachelor of Letters degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1906. Although she spent the majority of her formative years in the San Francisco area, she occasionally journeyed to less urban Western environs. As a youth and then later as an adult, she made extended return visits to a family ranch in Stockton--a ranch which she kept until 1954. On graduating from Berkeley, she spent a winter working as a "schoolmarm" in an old mining camp town in Placer County ( Wynn16-17) and then became a governess on a cattle ranch in Modoc County, where she is reported to have even tried bronco riding ( Wynn22). Moreover, while working as a journalist during the early decades of the twentieth century, Treadwell's Western exploits extended into the Southwest and across the border into Mexico, where among

This book is a companion volume to the previously published "Mexico: The Ancient Civilizations". It is a photographic record of a visit by the author to Mexico in March-April 2013.
In this volume, particular attention is given to the period of Mexican history after the Spanish Conquest in 1521. Although for much of this period widespread exploitation and ill-treatment of the indigenous peoples occurred, the Colonial Period in particular has left a rich legacy of architectural gems. In the modern period the history and cultures of the indigenous peoples has been the inspiration for the production of some magnificent murals by artists such as Diego Riviera.
Following a brief history of Mexico, the main part of the book presents images of the architecture, people and politics of the country.
Leonard Ferguson has been a keen amateur photographer for over thirty years. His particular interests are landscape and architectural photography.

AWESOME concept mate! Glimpsed upon this a few seconds ago and I was drawn to it immediately. I'm rubbish at computer art but I can probably pull off a few decent pictures with pencil on paper, so I was wondering if I can help at all with some art. Also, I'm good at writing (or so my English teacher says, but I don't trust him...) so I may be able to help with storyline/characterisation/etc. Once again, excellent concept and a fresh idea with potential if developed correctly.
For those who can't construe a dry witticism, a striking montage or an insightful quote to place on their signatures, copy this into it. Now I can rest, knowing I have brethren suffering from a similar dilemma.

From the outside, Mercer Island Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his right-wing Toward Tradition charity appear to be purring right along despite blowback from the two-year
From the outside, Mercer Island Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his right-wing Toward Tradition charity appear to be purring right along despite blowback from the two-year Lobbygate scandal and now - in a Senate report yesterday - being accused of defrauding taxpayers. Lapin just launched an attractive new charity Web site and cheerily insists he is not folding his operations as the Senate committee says in its new report. His latest federal tax forms, however, filed a year ago, show a bit gloomier picture: his charity had a negative net balance of $70,000 in 2004 on revenues of $586,000 from donations and speaking engagements. That deficit follows a $50,000 negative net from a year earlier. Lapin nonetheless got a $3,000 raise in 2004, to $160,000 a year as president. Disgraced and convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who worked in the D.C. offices of Preston Gates Ellis law and lobbying firm of Seattle, is still listed as a board director of Toward Tradition in the latest filing, but has since resigned. It was Abramoff of course who helped Lapin launch and run the charity and then cast the federal spotlight on Lapin after Abramoff washed $50,000 in illegal Lobbygate funds through the non-profit.
The funneling was part of an influence scheme to gain favors from then House Majority Leader Tom Delay, by hiring the wife of an aide to DeLay to work for Toward Tradition. Lapin, also a conservative radio talk-show host, claims his tax-exempt group was unaware of the scheme and he denies any wrongdoing. But yesterday's Senate Finance Committee report, prepared by its Democratic committee staff and approved by its Republican chair Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), said Toward Tradition and four other Abramoff-linked groups "appear to have perpetrated a fraud on other taxpayers." The Lobbygate fallout continued today as Rep. Bob Ney pleaded guilty to bribery and faces ten years in prison (where he could still collect a congressional pension). Later this month, former White House official David Safavian - like Abramoff, an alumnus of Preston Gates - faces sentencing for covering up attempts to conspire with Abramoff.

Zoom Room
The Only Brick-and-Mortar Dog Training Franchise in the U.S.
The Zoom Room Dog Agility Training Center & Canine Social Club is an eco-friendly, active lifestyle dog training center that practices only positive-reinforcement dog training methods. The Zoom Room is the only brick-and-mortar dog training franchise in America and the first dog agility franchise in the world.
The Zoom Room, conceived as a franchise from its very inception, was created to be the ideal turnkey dog business by Jaime Van Wye, the leading national pet boarding consultant and the Dog Day Care Chair of the Pet Care Services Association. As an unrivaled expert in the creation of dog service businesses, Jaime designed the Zoom Room as a streamlined, fun-filled business that incorporates everything great about working with dogs, while eliminating the countless headaches that come with dog boarding, dog day care and grooming businesses.
Because there is no element of boarding or grooming, dogs are never left alone at the Zoom Room, and thus the liability issues facing dog day care franchises are removed from the equation since the customer is always there, taking charge of his or her own dog. And, unlike in-home dog training franchises, in which a solved problem often means the end of a client, by building an exciting and varied curriculum, the Zoom Room enjoys terrific client retention, with owners and their dogs quickly growing addicted to the classes and to the facility.
Dog owners love the diversity of classes and are proud and happy to frequent the Zoom Room as regulars, in the company of their dogs, enjoying a sense of membership to this unique Canine Social Club. With its emphasis on dog agility, the Zoom Room is ahead of the pack – celebrating the fastest-growing dog sport in the nation, branding it, and creating a sporty gym-like environment that appeals to young, upscale dog owners with an active lifestyle and accompanying spending habits.
We are absolutely confident that you will be utterly impressed by our ability to offer you a business that is way more fun and appealing than that of our competitors, and at a fraction of the cost.
A Zoom Room can be run by a single, passionate proprietor, someone who combines a love for dogs with savvy business sense. The Zoom Room is not a drop-off training facility; this sets us apart from competitors. We train owners to train their dogs, and to more deeply understand, communicate and bond with their pets. A tired dog is a happy dog, and the Zoom Room is committed to its belief that
a well-trained dog is an even happier dog – not to mention one with much happier owners. In our experience, placing an emphasis on agility training is an extremely effective means to reach this goal.
Dog agility, practiced recreationally, is the perfect bonding experience for an owner and dog. The key to dog agility is teamwork and communication – core components of a great relationship with one's dog.
In addition to dog agility, the Zoom Room offers obedience training, puppypreschool, dog tricks training, therapy dog classes, and much more.As a Canine Social Club featuring a Hound Lounge and Doggy DiscoTM Nights, the Zoom Room is the perfect
place to host a dog birthday party,Bark Mitzvah, breed meet-up group, or charity fund-raiser.
The Zoom Room also provides high-quality, eco-friendly toys and training equipment, all-natural treats and organic food. The Zoom Room is avaliable for group classes, private training, rentals, educational seminars and events.
An ideal Zoom Room owner is:

Minnesota gets ready for a tax tsunamiPublished 10:06am Monday, December 17, 2012
Guest Column: By Phil Krinkie
With the growing possibility of an impasse in Washington on an agreement to avoid the "fiscal cliff' and with the Democrats in total control of our state government, Minnesota taxpayers are likely to be victims of a "tax tsunami" headed our way in 2013.
Day after day President Barack Obama and Congressional Republicans continue to talk, but make little progress toward meaningful budget discussions to resolve the major tax increases set to take place by the end of the year. There seems to be little concern by those inside the beltway about the real economic impact on the people who actually will have to fork over more of their hard earned money to help solve our federal government's huge debt problem. At least that's the concern for the 51 percent of Americans who actually pay federal income taxes. But for those of us who live in the Lake Wobegon part of the country, there is the potential of a double tax whammy.
The combination of no resolution to the expiring federal tax laws and Gov. Mark Dayton along with new DFL majorities in the House and Senate could mean Minnesota taxpayers will face massive tax increases in 2013. If there is no compromise on the "Bush" tax cuts that expire on Dec. 31, federal taxes are projected to rise by $533 billion. Most economists predict the results of this policy will be a slow down in the economy and a possible double-dip recession.
The expiration of these taxes will impact most Americans. First there are the tax increases included in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, which take effect next year, a 0.09 percent increase in the Medicare tax on incomes over $200,000. Also, there is a 3.8 percent tax on investment income over $200,000.
The estimated revenue from these two taxes equals $28 billion. In addition, the 2 percent payroll tax holiday that has been in place for two years is set to expire. This will impact all working Americans with a $27 billion tax burden. Next are the income tax provisions which will affect all income tax brackets as well as gift and estate taxes. The total of these taxes is $295 billion.
Lastly there is a group of other taxes that will rise by $87 billion. These other taxes include capital gains tax which could rise as much as 33 percent. Also the tax on dividends would increase a whopping 164 percent. Currently, dividends are taxed at 15 percent. If nothing is changed, dividends will be taxed at regular income tax rates, which could be as high as 43.9 percent. This tax increase would impact anyone who owns stock in a company that pays dividends.
All totaled these tax increases amount to over half a trillion dollars. And remember since 49 percent of Americans pay zero federal income tax, most of tax increases will be paid by only 50 percent of the citizens.
Here in Minnesota, Gov. Dayton and the DFL-controlled Legislature are poised to heap even more taxes on top of the massive federal tax increases that could occur in 2013.
Last week our state budget forecast showed a $1.1 billion shortfall. The immediate response from the public employee union, American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees was a call for $6 billion in new taxes. A $6 billion increase in taxes would equal more than a 16 percent increase in state taxes alone, not to mention possible tax increases at the city and county level. A $5-to-$6 billion increase at the state level is conceivable because two years ago Dayton laid out a plan to raise taxes by over $4 billion.
In his budget plan two years ago Dayton called for raising the top income tax rate from 8.25 percent to10.95 percent, which would have made Minnesota's tax rate the second highest in the country. He also proposed a new statewide property tax on high-valued homes as well as a 3 percent surtax on people with incomes over $500,000. But if you think Dayton's tax increases will only impact the wealthy, you need to think again.
Recently, a Dayton-appointed transportation task force recommended increasing Minnesota's gas tax by as much as 40 cents per gallon. They also recommended a half cent sales tax increase to fund transit in the metro area, as well as increasing motor vehicle registration fees.
All totaled, the task force proposed raising transportation related taxes by $1 billion a year. But the tax increases won't stop there. A number of legislators and outside interest groups are pushing to increase taxes on cigarettes by as much as $1.50 a pack Others are looking to raise alcohol taxes with a new dime a drink tax. Yet others, like returning House Tax chairwoman, Rep. Ann Lenczewski will renew her push to eliminate numerous tax deductions.
Unchecked spending by state and federal government is likely to create a tsunami of tax increases for Minnesotans and, like a real tsunami, these tax increases are likely to leave a path of economic hardship in their wake. Billions and billions of new taxes piled on working Americans is bound to cause increased unemployment and a downturn in economic growth. There is no such thing as taxing our way to prosperity.
Phil Krinkie, a former eight-term Republican state rep from LinoLakes who chaired the House Tax Committee for a while, is president of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota.

The NYSE advances/declines ratio sits at 1,605 issues advancing vs. 1,347 declining with 197 unchanged. The Services sector currently sits up 0.3% versus the S&P 500, which is unchanged. Top gainers within the sector include eLong ( LONG), up 22.1%, Ctrip.com International ( CTRP), up 5.2%, Royal Philips ( PHG), up 4.0%, Zillow ( Z), up 3.3% and Hain Celestial Group ( HAIN), up 3.2%.

TheStreet would like to highlight 3 stocks pushing the sector higher today: 3. MasterCard ( MA) is one of the companies pushing the Services sector higher today. As of noon trading, MasterCard is up $0.39 (0.5%) to $73.79 on average volume. Thus far, 2.0 million shares of MasterCard exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 5.2 million shares. The stock has ranged in price between $73.06-$73.88 after having opened the day at $73.30 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $73.40. MasterCard Incorporated provides transaction processing and other payment-related services in the United States and internationally. It facilitates the processing of payment transactions, including authorization, clearing, and settlement, as well as delivers related products and services. MasterCard has a market cap of $81.8 billion and is part of the financial services industry. Shares are down 12.1% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Friday. Currently there are 17 analysts who rate MasterCard a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 8 rate it a hold. TheStreet Ratings rates MasterCard as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, impressive record of earnings per share growth, increase in net income and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium valuation based on our review of its current price compared to such things as earnings and book value.

This paper responds briefly to four reviews of Force and Freedom. Valentini and Sangiovanni criticize what they see as the excessive formalism of the Kantian enterprise, contending that the Kantian project is circular, because it defines rights and freedom together, and that this circularity renders it unable to say anything determinate about appropriate restrictions and permissions. I show that the appearance of circularity arises from a misconstrual of the Kantian idea of a right. Properly understood, Kantian rights are partially indeterminate, but not in a way that causes problems for the account. Ronzoni and Williams seek to broaden the reach of public right, arguing that Kant's abstract approach overlooks pressing questions of social and political life, (Ronzoni) and that public right should allow for democratic deliberation about purposes that go beyond the requirement that a state provide a rightful condition for its members (Williams). I argue that the Kantian view makes room for these factors, but that each must be understood in relation to the formal constraints of right.

I have spoken to kerry as well, but between the "quiet period" and Doc's bombshells, I have given up expecting to get good info from IR. What have you found out?
Just because other people on this board areidiots doesn't mean I have to be one, so I am happy toshare the little that I learned. Perhaps "valuable" wasa slight exaggeration, as she probably didn't tellme anything she didn't tell you. The one bit ofinfo. I got was that she virtually guaranteed me thatPZN will pay the special dividend by year-end andmaintain its REIT status - whether the dividend is cash ornot remains to be seen. There was some speculation onthis board that PZN might forfeit its REIT status andre-merge with CCA. She also told me it is unlikely thatthe Nov. 10 earnings release will have any info. ontheir year-end plans. She implied late November toearly December as the period where the big news willcome out.Doctorlaszlo, can you give me youropinion...If no strategic investor is found and PZN pays outthe dividend as some form of preferred stock (which Ithink the most likely scenario), what do you think willhappen to PZN stock?
my understanding is that Doc has SI proposals inhand, but I wouldn't be unhappy if he told them all totake a hike and paid the special in bonds. But hewon't. He'll have us all bent over the barrel for thebig dilution, and then we'll be paid (so will he). Itonly lasts for a few minutes anyway, and then it'sover. But they will probably leave us dangling in thewind (sorry about the mixed metaphors, folks) untilthe last minute -- now I know how Guy Fawkes feltgoing up the ladder to the gibbet, with a choicebetween a broken neck and being sliced and diced. No easyanswers.But Avi29 (to quote General Turgidson) "If -- if" Dochas no SI at the crucial moment and we get preferred,I am as confused as the next guy. To quote LilAbner, it would be "confoozin but not very amoozin." Ithink there would be a short-lived drop in the price ofthe common until the market sorts out the terms ofthe preferred, and then sort of back to normal andthe stock behaves like a junk bond with a very highyield. I'd say back to 13 or 14, provided the occupancynumbers are okay. But what the hell do I know -- I boughtthis stock in the high teens.

Not impressed with D5200 samples at Imaging Resource

Evidence of D5200 banding in official Nikon photos
The D5200 shows banding even in at least one of the official Nikon photos as well, (which may have been pulled from the Nikon website by now). Banding can best be seen in the lower right hand corner of this night scene and is most noticeable on the dark building tops, but can also be seen less easily elsewhere in the image. Fine details have also turned to mush as well. Very disappointing compared to what I see with my D7000/D5100 images.
If the D7100 does no better with the IQ, I will be skipping that model completely even if it has some features I wish the D7000 had.

Obituary: Antoine Choueiri
"Choueiri was a modern day Colossus who, for nearly half a century, straddled the region's media and advertising sectors."
March 9, 2010 2:55 by Siobhan Adams
His first significant job was with Beirut-based luxury goods group Abou Adal Group, which also happened to own two magazines, and within 10 years he had risen to become the head of their sales department.
He married Rose Salameh, the mother of his two children Pierre and Lena, in 1961.
In 1971 he left Abou Adal to form his own media representation company.
The outbreak of the Civil War in 1975 saw him join the Lebanese diaspora, many of whom decamped to Paris, and it was from there that the Chouieri Group took shape.
Developing European sales representation for titles such as Al Watan Al Arabie, Antoine became acutely aware of low investment in advertising from the oil-rich Gulf States and resolved to increase spend, partly through the creation of new media channels. As such, he is widely credited with creating the out-of-home sector in Saudi Arabia through the introduction of MUPIs; he was also the creator of on-pack video advertising for the kingdom – in the days before satellite TV – through the launch of one of his earlier ventures, Video Force.
In 1985 he returned to Beirut. It was also the year that the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation – LBC – launched and appointed Choueiri as its media representatives. This, along with representation for Al Nahar, Al Saffir and L'Orient Le Jour consolidated the Group's leading position. The group later acquired the rights for MBC and Dubai Media Inc.
Outside of media and, of course, his family, his other passion was basket ball. He was one-time president of Beirut-based La Sagese Club and, according to some, without Choueiri's support Lebanon would not have been to field the world-class competitive teams it does today. Under his auspices the country won the Asian Basketball Championships three years running.
He is survived by his wife Rose, children Pierre and Lena and seven grandchildren.
Memorial and Mass services for Antoine Choueiri will be held at St. George Maronites Cathedral in Downtown Beirut on March 11 at 11.00am. He will be laid to rest in his hometown of Bcharre. Condolences will be received at St. George Maronites Cathedral in Downtown Beirut on March 10, 12 and 13 from 10.00am till 7.00pm.

It appears we may see new details on troop withdrawals in Afghanistan. Also, more on how the President intends to direct the momentum of immigration reform. The economy is getting better, slowly. What does he propose to get it moving? And, what will we see from Marco Rubio, who will deliver the Republican response following the President's address.

MiP from WowWee is a sophisticated, well-engineered robot that can be controlled by simple hand gestures or by using a free-to-download app. Once powered up, MiP balances on its two wheels, somewhat like a Segway. Make sure it's lying down when you turn it on. Stand it up and you'll sense the balance kick in to keep MiP staying upright.
It starts in its default mode, and operates on its GestureSense technology. Use hand gestures to steer it in this mode or put it into one of six other action modes-Stack, Cage, Tricks, Roam, Dance, Tracking-by turning the wheel and watching the lights that change with the mode. Stack, is one of the most interesting, as you attach his tray and then watch him try to balance whatever you challenge him with. Put MiP into a different mode to make it dance, follow your hands in Tracking mode, play a game in Cage mode where he'll try to get away from you, and explore in Roam mode.
To use the app, download to your iOS or Android device and connect it to your Bluetooth. From there, you can steer and drive MiP around.
MiP is going to appeal mostly to people who are fascinated by this type of interactive toy-and who have the disposable income to afford it. As engaging as the different modes are to watch, they can be a little repetitive at times. We liked the stuff that kept the user engaged more, such as controlling the MiP with the app.
The MiP is age graded 6 months and up for safety. However, there is a learning curve with this toy that makes it better suited for much older users who will also appreciate the technology behind it.
MiP requires 4 AAA batteries, which are not included.
The lights aren't really all too different in color-the red and pink are hard to tell apart, as are the blue and turquoise, so you'll know you're changing modes by MiP's behavior.
There's a learning curve in getting the controls to work.

How do you know if your blog is making an impact?
Oct 23rd
About two years ago, I was really down on my blogging.
I would work hard on something that I thought was really smart and provocative and it would just fall flat. And then I would put out something dumb like "The 20 Funniest things you can do on Twitter" and it would go viral. It didn't make any sense. It was disheartening.
I felt like my hard work was going nowhere. Maybe you feel that way sometimes too?
No matter how much you stare at your Google Analytics, it's not going to interpret for you whether anybody cares about your blog.
Even comment sections aren't much help.
A rule of thumb is that only about 2 percent of your readers leave comments. That's a generalization I have found that holds up across many types of blogs. Readers may be too busy, too shy, or just not interested enough to comment. So you need a LOT of readers before you start getting comments.
Drastic action
In addition to only hearing from a vast minority of your readers, there is a big difference between a "comment" on the topic and real "feedback" on how you are doing as blogger – if you are making a dent in the way people act and think.
I realized that if I was going to make truly meaningful connections with these strangers popping in on my blog and figure out if this thing was having any impact, I was going to have to make an effort to get to know them better. So, I started to call up my readers.
I made a goal to call at least three of my blog readers per week over a period of a couple of months and by far the overwhelming lesson I learned was yes — I was having an impact, in so many unexpected ways.
I'll never forget a call I had with Caroline Di Diego, a businesswoman and entrepreneur who had left so many interesting comments on my blog. She told me in great detail how one quite obscure blog post I had written had changed her outlook on business and marketing. Although the post had run two years ago, she could still recall its lessons and it still impacts her even to this day.
This conversation meant so much to me, because I had been particularly proud of that blog post but it had not been a popular post in terms of how much it had been shared. In fact, I was so disappointed by the reaction to this thoughtful post that I wondered why I was blogging at all.
A re-energizing impact
Caroline's reaction — and the reaction of so many others — gave me a new energy, a new commitment to blogging, because these conversations made me realize that even though I might not hear it every day, I am having an impact.
I recently recounted how one physician who averaged just 4.5 readers a day found out that she had impacted a life.
My point is, if you're working hard on your blog, it may be difficult to know if you are really having an impact unless you reach out and actually talk to people about it.
What has your experience been? Are you making an impact and how do you know?

How to Turn a Small Blog Audience into Small Army
Sep 19th
By Srinivas Rao, Contributing {grow} Columnist
Every single day we focus on how to get more traffic to our blogs, increase our conversion rates, and sell more. The result is an obsession with raising our Klout scores, increasing the number of followers we have on Twitter and inflating every metric we can in hopes that we'll become the next … insert famous blogger of your choice.
Let's get real for a moment. I'm not going to become the next Zen Habits, Chris Brogan, or Seth Godin. Neither are you. They had a substantial head start and don't appear to be slowing down. But the good news is that you have an edge that you may be overlooking. When your audience is small you can run your blog like a VIP experience.
"If you only have a few readers, treat them like the most important people in the world because they are." – Chris Guillebeau
Email Each Reader Personally
I have to give credit where it's due for this idea. Chris Guillbeau told me he emailed every single newsletter subscriber personally for his first 10,000 subscribers. While each one may not have had an impact, the cumulative effect was incredibly powerful. You can't really argue with his success. I've made this part of how I treat my email subscribers and I recently received this email in response.
Thanks for your email! Of all of the resources that I subscribe to, I don't think I have ever received an actual personal email that wasn't an obvious use of email marketing personalization features. Your content is awesome, and I am finding it really helpful!
Just to be clear, while this is a tactic, if somebody does respond to you, that provides chance for you to take that relationship further. You've just discovered a super fan. Be genuine and engage them.
Write a Post Specifically for Each Reader
A friend mentioned to me in a conversation that he only had 25 readers. I told him to contact each one of them. If you have a small group of readers imagine the impact you could have if you wrote a post dedicated to each one.
Phone or Skype Your Readers
Although we live in an online world, we can't forget that 95% of communication is non-verbal. When somebody who reads your content hears your voice you go from "that person who writes that blog" to a real person. Let your readers to get to know the real you.
Host a Fireside Chat
This is where an audience becomes a community. It's no longer a tribe leader communicating with a tribe member. It's how you become a facilitator of conversation between the members of your tribe.
Visit Your Readers in Person
My friend Mark Lawrence, who was and still is a relatively unknown blogger, runs a start-up called SpotHero. He used all his frequent flyer miles to visit every single person he connected with online. He used his connection with me as an excuse to visit California and to this day we're friends. His blog is more or less dead, but here I am telling you about it 2 years later. For the A-list bloggers to emulate this they'd have to spend their entire year, every dime they have and possibly their whole life to accomplish this.
The Cost of Failure is Minimal When You're Small
One of the great things about being relatively small and unknown is that the cost of failure is not that harmful. That gives a blogger with a small audience a tremendous amount of leverage. If Mark Schaefer did something that absolutely bombed on this blog, his audience is substantial and lots of people would know. When you're small you can take some bigger risks with your creativity. I'm convinced it's one of the reasons small companies are so innovative, while big companies lose this capability as they grow.
Don't forget attention is a form of currency on the social web. When people spend theirs with you, give them more than they paid for. Nurturing a small audience is essential to converting a small audience into a small army. So take that small audience and turn into a VIP experience that has people lined up around the block for an opportunity to be part of your army.

Five ways the mobile revolution impacts your blog
Sep 9th
Every single day your blog is becoming less useful and relevant … and there is nothing you can do about it.
Today, about 28% of Americans use their smartphone as their first point of access for the Internet and we are behind many other regions of the world like Scandinavia and the Middle East where more than 50% of the adult population uses a mobile device as the "first screen" for the Internet.
As you can see in the graphic above, this trend is also reflected in my own blog where global mobile readership has grown from 13% to 24% in less than two years (and it stands at 26% since June!).
So day, by day, more people are reading your blog on a "mobile-optimized" screen that fits in the palm of your hand instead of on a nice big high definition desk-top screen. The difference is pretty dramatic:
Here are five implications of this shift:
1) Less blog engagement
It is more difficult to create content, including blog comments, on a phone instead of a keyboard. The level of commenting on my blog is down about 7% compared to last year although blog subscriptions have more than doubled and page views are up 500%. I can't prove that the mobile factor is impacting this, but it's a logical assumption. It's also a lot more difficult even viewing comments in a mobile format!
2) The end of calls to action
A blog is a perfect place to create awareness of other products and services. Your blog is high value real estate because people are coming to your site presumably because they have some interest in you and your content.
On my site, I give readers a lot of options to connect with me. They can navigate to see my books, social media training videos, upcoming social media workshops, and cities where I am speaking next. In the mobile environment, these calls to action disappear.
And beyond calls to action, ALL the information in the sidebars goes away. As the mobile format stands, it's impossible to even tell who is writing the blog!
3) Less traffic
At the bottom of every blog post I have a useful little widget called Linked Within. This app recommends other blog posts for the reader to enjoy based on the topic of that current post. This widget increases my page views by about 7 percent and also increases the amount of time people spend on the site. In the mobile environment, this utility goes away.
4) A crunch on creativity
Even in the constricted box of a big-screen blog it's challenging to be creative. But I do my best to spice things up with funny graphics and every Friday I feature a social-media-themed cartoon. So graphical communication makes up about 25% of my total content on {grow}. In the mobile environment, it's almost impossible to read these things. My hunch right now is that about 24% of my readers are having difficulty reading at least 25% of my content. And that will get even worse as the mobile revolution grows.
5) Less utility
Here are some of the popular features on my blog that disappear in the mobile environment:
- Subscribe to the blog
- Search the blog
- Archive by topic
- Archive by date
- Top navigation bar leading to other parts of my site
Another important feature that is disappearing is the sidebar ads that help offset the cost of having paid guest bloggers and cartoonists.
No matter how much time I devote to creating great content, the utility and capabilities of my blog are inexorably fading away. And it's happening to you, too.
The mobile environment and ubiquity of wi-fi may actually provide an advantage to other forms of communication like video and audio programs like podcasts. But even with these platforms, many of the benefits of blogs listed above are unavailable. When was the last time you engaged with a podcast?
What do you think? Does any of this make sense to you? And more important, is there anything that can be done about it?

return to rising energy prices should continue this stocks drop for a while
Top notch utility and dividend play.
Good company with a consistent return.
can 30 stocks randomly picked from a bag of scrabble tiles beat the market? there's only one way to find out.
sp500 in maximums.
Good growth, but lots of debt and not a ton of cash on hand. Outlook isn't bad...maybe 1% in here.
This is a "Giant Tortoise Stock." Like a giant tortoise, It may be big and slow, but it has a hard shell (economic moat), can swim far (enter into new and emerging markets and industries), and live long.
The management of this utility has remained cautious and not made any big mistakes.
energy crisis - energy companies are making a fortune off of this
Cold weather=High bills
utilities are back
American Electric has several attractive points. First, it is stable source of dividend income--a real bonus with the current wave of economic jitters from around the world. Second, the company plans to cut 10% of its workforce (~22,000 people). This reduction will be visible in earnings in the second half of the year. Third, the company reiterated its commitment to deliver earnings toward the middle of guidance.
Utilities are boring, buT AEPis a big utility and has a solid history of earnings to contribute to anyone's portfolio. 6% dividend included it canstill outperform the S&P500,
I've held this stock since the early 80s and through steady investment and reinvestment, it put my kinds through college. They're also my local power company and have great service. Can't say enough good things.
Local company that I know well
Good dividend stable business, payout ratio is low, suggesting room for a raise
if recovery is real then manufacturing should pick raising sales
if it's not then this solid large cap should not fall as much as the market
Safe and steady
Good dividend yield, the first to sink real money into carbon capture technology that I know of, investing in renewable energy sources. Invested in direct stock purchase plan offered through Computershare. Curently rated Four stars by Standard & Poors.
It seems to be a well run electric utility in the midwestern U.S.
