A Complete Package
The Eglu Go Chicken Coop is the simple, stylish, straightforward way to start keeping chickens. It is designed for you to keep up to 4 medium hens like the Gingernut Ranger or 2-3 larger breeds such as Brahmas and Buff Orpintons. The Eglu Go Chicken Coop comes complete with everything you need to get started. It has plastic roosting bars and a discreet nesting area which can be filled with straw or shredded paper to make a comfortable nest for your chickens. The freshly laid eggs can be plucked from the nest simply by opening the door at the back and can be served with some buttery soldiers in a matter of minutes - delicious!
Low Maintenance
You'll find keeping your Eglu Go Chicken Coop in tip-top condition a breeze thanks to its innovative slide-out dropping tray and wipe clean surfaces. Made from energy efficient polymers, it's a hygienic home for your hens that will last for years and at the end of its life can be 100% recycled.
Easy To Clean
The Eglu Go Chicken Coop is quick and easy to clean with a slide out tray for collecting droppings and a large door at the back which allows easy access to the roosting bars and nesting area. Simply slide the droppings tray out and empty into the compost bin - they will make a wonderful fertilizer for your plants. The Eglu's smooth plastic surfaces can be washed with a hose – no difficult corners or absorbent materials, or give it a deep clean quickly with a pressure washer. Unlike wooden housing, you do not need to treat your Eglu.
The Fox Resistant Run!
The optional (yet recommended) standard 2m run is made from strong steel weld mesh, virtually impossible for predators to break. A unique anti-tunnel skirt sits flat on the ground and prevents animals from digging in. The run has spacious vertical sides and gives your chickens plenty of room. You can extend the run in 1m sections if you wish. The Eglu can be positioned on grass or any other surface such as wood chippings or rough ground where the chickens can rummage.The unique tunnel-proof panels have been proven in rigorous testing to be fox and badger resistant. The run means that when you are out and about you can be sure that your chickens are safe. The dark green coating is fused to the metal wires ensuring an extremely durable finish that looks great in the garden.The run comes in sections for easy transportation or storage and can be assembled in minutes.
Changeable Door Position
The new run design means you can now position the door on either the side or the end panels. This is useful if you want to fit the Eglu Go Chicken Coop into a spot where accessing the run would be more convenient from the side. You can use the door to let your chickens out and they will enjoy roaming around your garden looking for slugs and other tasty morsels.
Easy Access
The Eglu Go Chicken Coop has a single large door at the back, which you can open to reveal the roosting bars, nesting area and dropping tray.
Nest Box and Roosting Bars
The Eglu has roosting bars for your chickens to perch at night and a discreet nesting box which can be filled with straw, shredded paper or wood shavings.
Easy Operable Front Door
Let your chickens out in the morning and shut them away at night using the front door. Easy to use, and perfect when you want to keep your chickens out in the run while you clean the inside of your eglu or collect those freshly laid eggs!
Warm in Winter
The Eglu is specially designed to keep your chickens warm in winter. The Eglu has a unique twin-wall insulation system which works in a similar way to double glazing trapping a pocket of air which provides a very effective means of insulating the house.
Cool in Summer
In summer your chickens will be kept cool by the Eglu's draught-free ventilation system, carefully designed to avoid air blowing directly over the roosting area whilst allowing fresh air to circulate.
Free Extras
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to start keeping chickens, which is why you'll get lots of free extras with every Eglu Go chicken house. Whichever type of Eglu Go you buy, you'll get an innovative feeder and drinker. These fit neatly to the run, maximising floor area, the covered design protects food from rain, and both are dishwasher proof, for ultra easy cleaning. You'll receive 10 Omlet Egg Boxes, suitable for giving away four eggs at a time to family and friends, and easy to follow instructions to help you build your Eglu quickly. If you choose an Eglu Go with a chicken run, we'll throw in an all-weather shade, to attach to the run and protect hens from wind and rain. It's very hendy in the summer too, to keep your girls protected from the midday sun.The biggest reward of an Eglu chicken coop, of course, is the free eggs you'll be treated to every morning. Nothing beats that! Not only that, we're so confident you'll love everything about the Eglu Go chicken house and your new chickens, we offer a 30-day, no-quibble money-back guarantee.
How much space do I need to keep chickens?
Ideally your garden should have a fence all the way round. This will prevent your chickens from wandering into the neighbour's garden and, more importantly, ensure that all the eggs are laid on your side of the fence! The fence should be about 1.5m (5ft) high.
If you do not have grass, it is possible to keep a couple of chickens but you must provide them with a layer of wood chippings to rummage about in as this will give them the right type of surface underfoot.
Eglu Go Chicken Coop Specifications
The Eglu Go Chicken Coop House is suitable for up to 4 medium sized chickens or 2-3 larger breeds such as Buff Orpingtons or Cochins. When setting up your Eglu, you should allow 60cm of space behind the house to enable the dropping tray to slide out easily.
House: 100% Recyclable UV Stabilised Plastic
Run: Fully Coated Welded Steel Mesh
Packaging Dimensions:
House: House: 74cm x 41cm x 81cm (20kg)
Run: 70cm x 24cm x 96cm (15kg)

Your Reviews - Eglu Go Chicken Coop
Omlet chicken house and run - Loveday,
Looks lovely and was straight forward to assemble except the clips that fitted three ways. I wish it was easier to separate the run from the house. We haven't needed to use the house and run, but bought it for emergencies as we had inherited some badly hen pecked hens.
Really happy - Edward,
It took a little longer than I thought it would to build, mostly because the ceiling of the run won't slot into the house, as easily as it looks in the instructions. That said we've made it work and the chickens love their home. I'm glad we chose green over purple in the end too. The eglu is great and so easy to maintain.
Shaky Start; Happy Hens! - Lynn,
My purchase experience was a little trying - issues with offer codes and broken parts - however, the Omlet team were very patient and obliging and I eventually had everything I needed. The build took some time, (I was probably being a bit too precise about it!) but, after a couple of days of on/off activity, I was the proud owner of a beautiful Eglu Go Coop and Run. The girls arrived a couple of weeks later (ex-bats) and immediately took to it - although we had a fair few crazy moments as they learnt how to be chickens and I learnt how to be a chicken keeper!. The run caging is a little "soft" in places but then it's probably not meant to be leant upon when trying to fix shades in place! I have found that I've needed to line the inside of the run with sunshade material since, without it, the girls simply ejected most of the woodchips! (Quite a challenge to do that from the inside!). We live near the North Cornwall coast so it's often wet and windy, hence opting for a plastic coop. I absolutely believe I have made the right decision, the Eglu is so easy to keep clean and it's resistance to the weather is pretty good. 2 months in, we've got some small signs of rust on the run and the shade eyelets, however these are purely cosmetic and in no way compromise the overall look and/or security of the run. I'm very happy to leave the girls in when we go out, the run is spacious enough and very secure. Next time (yes, I'm already planning for a bigger flock!), I would look at buying a raised coop and, if I added another run, something that is a little easier for me to get into and out of for cleaning/maintenance etc. The option of an electronic opener would be a luxury too. I guess I need to start saving for a new Cube!!!
Eglu Go with 2m run - Susan, Texas,
Well I have not gotten my chickens yet. I am waiting till it's a bit cooler. I'm in Texas! But the coop is assembled and waiting. The pros are it is attractive and I think it will be okay. My husband helped me assemble it and honestly is was no easy task but we managed. After putting it all up and securing it I really wish I had gotten the Eglu Go Up. This one will be very difficult to clean the run since it sits on the ground. Very difficult to get a rake inside the run to clean it. I have never kept chickens before so it is all a learning process. I know there is a "conversion" kit but I cannot justify another $400.00 so I will make do. The coop itself is very nice! It will be easy to clean and gather the eggs. It's just the run that will be difficult.
Great coop - Julie,
I bought this for the size & look of it & was not disappointed I have 3 lavender Peking Banthams who are very happy to live here and have plenty of room. Both the hens are laying in the nest box everyday

After finding most of the cheats available in Liberty City Stories, edisoncarter went to work on trying to edit the save game files. Although the PSP's encryption gave him a hard time, he was finally able to keep a helicopter in his garage.
I'll be able to do even more with this than I did in San Andreas, but first off, time to edit helicopters into garages.
There are lots of buildings without roofs to explore, and some city blocks are unpainted inside. I found an island of rubble inside one.
Hopefully, he will be able to whip up some crazy save game modifications. Until then, visit edisoncarter's website for the garage helicopter save game and video downloads, along with many more screenshots.

Family seeking service dog for diabetic seven-year-old
COEBURN, Va. - Many people say a dog is a man's best friend, and for one local little boy that friendship could become the difference between life and death.
Jonah Mullins is like any other seven-year-old boy, but what you might not know is two years ago, the Coeburn, Virginia native was diagnosed with Type I Juvenile Diabetes. "Our bodies make our own insulin. His doesn't. His doesn't make any insulin at all," explained Jonah's dad, James Mullins.
"You're constantly worrying, especially when they go to school," said mother Rebecca Mullins.
Jonah wears an insulin pump every day to help regulate his blood sugar; but even still, that blood sugar can fluctuate without any warning.
Jonah's parents said they check on their son three times every single night, but one night in particular continues to rattle their nerves. "It wasn't time for me to check on him, and I just happened to get up and check on him. I guess it was just the feeling that I had, and his sugar had dropped to 30," said Rebecca Mullins.
We learned anything below 70 is concerning.
"Your son's there, and you don't know with what diabetes does, you don't know what can happen at night," James Mullins said, battling the emotion.
It was after that night that the Mullins family decided they needed help -- they're hoping a diabetes service dog will become a lifeline for Jonah by using its impeccable sense of smell to alert when his blood sugar drops or elevates to dangerous levels.
"It's supposed to put its paw up if blood sugar's high [and its] paw down if the sugar's low," Rebecca Mullins explained.
But they need the support of the community. Right now, the Mullins' have only raised about $2,000 of the $25,000 they need. "We're asking for any help we can get," said Rebecca Mullins.
In the meantime this family of five clings to the hope they quickly become a family of six. "It's going to be a relief. I believe it's really going to help Jonah," Rebecca Mullins said through tears. "Jonah probably will have the dog be his best friend."
If you would like make a donation toward Jonah Mullin's service dog, you can send that donation to:
Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers

Madison, VA 22727
You can also make a donation online by visiting http://www.sdwr.org/.
When making a contribution either through the mail or online, you're asked to specify the donation is for 'Jonah Mullins' or 'James and Rebecca Mullins'.

The Destination
Gatlinburg may play host to Ripley's Believe It or Not!—a curious attraction of great interest, to be sure—but the truly hard-to-fathom feature of this Eastern Tennessee destination is nature itself. Here, the elements reign, from the summit of Clingman's Dome to the old-growth forest that covers 95% of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There's a good reason it's America's most visited park, drawing slews of visitors to zipline its canopies and traverse its trails.
The Digs
A rustic, cozy retreat awaits just outside of Gatlinburg at the romantic Creekwalk Bed & Breakfast at Whisperwood Farm, set on 30 acres of grass and dense deciduous forest. Cozy guest rooms throughout this sprawling property dotted with balconies, boardwalks, and porches feature cathedral ceilings, private baths (some with Jacuzzi tubs), and complimentary use of robes. In the morning, fill up on a delicious homemade breakfast by the fire, then prepare to explore the park.
The Diversions
• Be sure to hit the trails at Great Smoky Mountains National Park
• Sail above the natural forest on a zipline adventure
• Be entertained at Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre
• Take a day trip to the shops of Asheville or visit a theme park in Pigeon Forge
"Our stay at the Creekwalk Inn was wonderful!... Kelsey cooked gourmet breakfasts that were out of this world!!... If you are looking for a place to reconnect with nature, seek peace and quiet, then this is definitely the B&B to stay. We hope to return."-- BedandBreakfast.com

It's been a year-and-a-half since John Smith took over as director of the RISD Museum. But it's only now that his vision for the place is becoming reality.
He will soon launch a completely redesigned web site — a sort of digital wing of the museum.
And this week, visitors will take in the first traveling show Smith has brought to town — "Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists' Enumerations from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art."
The show, he argues, is a perfect fit for the creative community at RISD and for Rhode Island writ large — an "interesting glimpse into process," he says, "and how artists and designers think about the world and organize the world, from the quotidian to big ideas."
Indeed, this focus on process — on the intellectual work of producing art and the materials used to execute it — is emerging as an early theme for Smith.
The museum's next major show, "Artist/Rebel/Dandy: Men of Fashion" — in the works before Smith arrived, but shaped in important ways by the new director — will celebrate tweed, tartan, and the crafting of artists' identities.
And "Locally Made," a summer show featuring Rhode Island work in the museum's collection, will be accompanied by talks from all kinds of area makers — visual artists, thinkers, farmers, and craftspeople.
But if process is a through-line, it's only that. The first couple of shows at John Smith's RISD Museum are richer fare.
It's a small scrap of paper. Not terribly legible. And not, at first glance, all that remarkable: merely a collection of names.
But read the accompanying text and it becomes something much more. The scratch, it turns out, is in Pablo Picasso's hand: a list of European artists he recommended for the first international exhibit of modern art in the United States, the 1913 Armory Show.
On the list — Fernand Lèger, Juan Gris, and Marcel Duchamp, whose "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" caused an uproar.
Look closely and you'll see that Picasso misspelled Duchamp's name. Just one of the many imperfections that humanize the often superhuman subjects of "Lists."
Indeed, this one-room exhibit sings, in no small part, because it grounds bold-faced names in the ordinary — what could be more ordinary than a list? — without losing sight of their extraordinary talents.
Powerhouse art dealer Leo Castelli's to-do lists remind him to pick up tooth powder at the drug store and consult with "RR" — painter and sculptor Robert Rauschenberg.
Painter Philip Evergood's list of neighborhood services — picture framers, art dealers, a camera shop — is a nifty, glued-and-taped-together collage of business cards and hand-written notes.

Speaking Event: Mondragon Spain - One Giant Step Beyond Capitalism
A talk by Gus diZerega.
At a time when unemployment is at 24-5% in Spain, the 80,000 worker-owners of the Mondragon Co-operatives have an unemployment rate of 0%. At a time when American CEOs' income rises as much as 400 to 500 times the income of average workers at their companies, Mondragon's managers-owners make 6 times what the lowest. paid worker-owners make. At a time when the middle class is disappearing in the US and some
studies say income inequality here is akin to that of Czarist Russia, the Mondragon region of Spain lacks slums or gated communities. It is middle class. What does all this mean and what can it teach us?

Release: 9/21/04
Twenty years after the devastation caused by the Bloody Mary Virus, a new order has emerged based on two independent worlds. The citizens of the 'Above' society are controlled by media and powerful corporations and thrive in a glittering metropolis of glass and steel towers, entwined by elevated highways. The 'Below' society is riddled with criminals, undesirables and misfits, who must meet the needs of the 'Above' society in return for the right to survive…society's conscience wiped clean. Maintaining law and society order are veteran Headhunter Jack Wade and his reluctant new sidekick, the rebellious street kid Leeza X. In their journey into the dark underworld, they are forced to overcome something far more sinister than a simple human threat.

"Kirkus' advertising program helped me draw additional attention to my books. In August, 2012, Identity Films, Hollywood, optioned The Gaia Wars series for film."
—Kenneth Bennett, author of The Gaia Wars
Read more about Kenneth's deal in Variety >
"In this burgeoning eBook marketplace, if your book doesn't stand out then it will die slowly and silently. You must stand out. Kirkus Indie Reviews and Kirkus Advertising are the easiest and most cost-effective ways to get noticed. I made use of them and now I have national attention."
—Adam Connell, author of Lay Saints
"My greatest period of sales to date occurred during the 2 weeks I advertised on the Kirkus website. The Kirkus staff was extremely helpful throughout the process and worked very well with my graphic artist. The Kirkus star also gave me a personal boost in that it provided an independent validation of my first effort in the publishing world. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Kirkus. My advice for someone who is thinking about submitting their work for a Kirkus review: Do it. Make sure you have a good editor and proofreader (not yourself) and give it a thorough, honest scrub first, but take the plunge."
—Daniel Rich, author of Project Gitmo
"Since my first Kirkus campaign began, my book has consistently sold better than it was selling before the campaign started. Kirkus has given me everything I could have wanted in the way of marketing."
—Amy Billone, author of The Light Changes
"We've run a number of different promotional activities in connection with the book and I must say that the promotion we ran with you delivered the highest dividends."
— Tae Kim, author of War with Pigeons
"I won't hesitate to call on you again for further business with Kirkus Reviews!"
— Raymond Keen, author of Love Poems for Cannibals
"I'm very glad I did it...I sold quite a few books during those two weeks...you have not seen the last of me."
— Rea Martin, author of Mystic Tea
"I've gotten a couple of inquiries and I know I will soon have an agent and and publisher...just the advertisement itself, which was so beautifully designed, is continuing to have a wonderful impact."
— Rick Lenz, author of The Alexandrite
"I believe my ad campaign worked very well and I appreciate all your efforts!"
— Betta Ferrendelli, author of The Friday Edition
"Your Discovery package may have gotten me discovered...it is a good start, and I have noticed a few things that hint at a good uptick in visibility."
— Jason Helford, author of From a Killer's Mind

Go with the Ruger. I had one for years, and it was completely reliable and VERY accurate. It looks like a heavy weapon (appears large), but it's not really all that heavy for a full-size .45 ACP (Colt 1911 weighs 5 ounces more). Kinda thick, though, and concealment holsters might be hard to find.
And on your concern about it "holding its value"; well, I can pretty much guarantee you can get $225 back out of a lightly-used Ruger P-90 in a private sale.
You break one spring in that Llama, and you're all done; parts are usually hard to find for imports that weren't made and imported for many many years. Ruger will be able to repair P-90s for decades, not that I think you'll be able break anything on it -- even if you try.
Here's an article on the P-90:
Not highly refined or super smooth, but they are great guns, in my opinion.


text: Walking around my yard this afternoon temp. about 55 bees were out and about, saw a dying bee on a top cover checked it out and saw a live mite leaving the bee, squashed it then picked up the bee to have a good look at it and found another mite clinging to it sqashed that one too. All my hives have been treated with formic acid . so I guess that I am going to struggle with these critters until I can get sufficient genetic change into my hives.

anyway if you got a spare one drop me a PM--thanks

I have a bag full of crap .45 mags sitting here. Got tired of them not working..

Now they work..

hell 4th i was gonna buy some of the crap mags just to strip the follower things out of them !!! --those $5 mags that SARCO and SFC sells--but WTH? their all out of stock--LOL
hell yea i run the 10rd chips, 8 round checkmates and the 8 round metalforms i got for CDNN years ago. i got a couple italian mcgar copies that do ok i wouldn't buy them mind you -- they came with a pistol.
you would think a simple straight single stack mag would be easy to make--for $5
hell sounds like you got the 1911= to those eagle branded m9 pistol mags that CDNN was selling years ago for $5.
i been playing with a couple of them i got a couple decades ago that ain't never made it through a half full mag without a FUBAR situation somewhere.
damn el-cheapo who knows who/where mags are a scourge of all semi autos everywhere.
I found a stainless Mec-gar (I think) and one of the generic ones with the upwards dimple in the center. Both are barely used. It's hard to remember why they ended up in the spare parts box but they look to be serviceable.
If I die suddenly my wife will never figure out what all that crap is in all those boxes, I'm not even sure what some of it is.
I just tried the Mec-gar in a GI body. It's a little tight. If you use it, you may want to remove a small amount of material to keep it from binding.
PM your mailing address and I'll get them out tomorrow AM.

I have seen online that a few guys have pulled off this conversion and are running an HD grille on their 1500.. except this has only been on the Silverado's I have yet to see someone to a swap with the Denali HD grille. What is required to do this, anyone know?? I'm betting it isn't a direct fit. Would I need the HD hood, or maybe relocating the front bumper? Any help would be appreciated.

Businesses, especially startups, are getting slammed by a shortage of designers. Venture capital firms are setting up programs to link talented creatives with firms, entire companies are being acquired just to capture the design talent, and Stanford University is attempting to address the shortfall by teaching "design thinking" to smart people from all walks of life.
Stanford MBA candidates Andrew Allison and Matt Stuart had impressive credentials—Allison worked as a political speechwriter and Stuart had been an investment banker. However, both wanted to contribute more to the world in the form of a startup that helped small businesses thrive. The only problem was they had no design expertise—even coordinating an IKEA run was beyond their skill set. "My apartment literally has noting in it but a bed, dresser, night stand, [and a] big living room with zero furniture," says Stuart.
Despite their lack of design acumen, they founded a startup that would help connect local businesses to customers. They developed a custom web app, signed up 30 pilot customers, and even raised some money to invest in development. Their idea was solid and simple: create local directories for small businesses. An auto body shop, for instance, could set up a profile on their site and drive potential customers to it. It was a solid idea, but it was flailing. So the pair enrolled in a design course at Stanford's d.School and learned valuable lessons that helped them transform it into a thriving service that manages social media for small businesses.
The course they took is called Launchpad: Design and Launch your Product or Service Zero to Revenue in Ten Weeks and aims to teach design thinking strategies like ethnographic research and rapid prototyping. Instead of focusing effort on classroom assignments, the lessons are applied directly to growing businesses and the class has produced some resounding successes. Of the 40 teams that have formed so far, successes include Pulse, a social news reader sold to LinkedIn for $90 million in 2012 and another company that was acquired by Dropbox. In total, 13 teams have gone on to raise venture capital and half a dozen more are still operating.
Through what they learned in the course, Stuart and Allison realized they were approaching the problem all wrong. It turns out what their customers really wanted was a way to manage comments on pre-existing, popular social networks like Yelp, Facebook, and Twitter, instead of getting a new channel to deal with. Additionally, these mechanics didn't want to deal with the social network du jour; they wanted to outsource the job, like they do with taxes. Stuart and Allison reoriented the service and a few short months later aced the course.
Before long they earned an even better mark—a thriving company called Main Street Hub that currently counts over 3,000 customers, 175 employees, and a $14 million investment from Bessemer Venture Partners, the VC firm behind Yelp, Shopify, and Pinterest.
For those that can't decamp to Stanford to learn these skills firsthand, the team at Main Street Hub have shared some of the secrets of their success.
Take Empathy to the Extreme
Ask any small business owner if they'd like to be more successful on social media and of course they'll say yes, but that's not the most important question. Instead, Stuart and Allison should have asked if they had the time to dedicate to Facebook marketing. The answer in short: no.
"We'd go into their shops and spend hours and hours with them in hopes of getting them in front of their computer," says Allison. "We wanted to get their feedback and get them on board, but we spent most of those hours chasing them around the shop under car, behind a desk, and talking to employees."
The first version of the product was well-designed by any standard measure. The information architecture was solid and the visuals were clean. Usability experts would have a hard time identifying what was wrong with their service. The problem was that it was built around faulty assumptions.
"That old product required customers to manage their own presence, and most mechanics don't have the time or resources to do that," says Allison. "Even if it would solve their biggest problem, obtaining new customers, they will not DIY their online presence."
This was a striking realization for a pair of Silicon Valley stars who were rarely offline for more than a few minutes. Moreover, many of their customers had no idea what a hashtag was, nor did they care. "Ultimately, designing a great solution is just a manifestation of empathy," says Allison. "Truly understanding the customer's needs and problems."
Look for Inspiration in Other Industries
Instead of trying to make an easier DIY software tool, Stuart and Allison created a "do-it-for-you" service. Think of it like tax prep—people don't want a better interface to deal with the IRS, they want to bring a shoebox full of receipts to an accountant and let them handle the details. Strange as it may sound, for many, managing social media is a chore, not a treat.
"When the pivot was made to 'do-it-for-you,' we really looked at what had previously gained traction in local," says Stuart. "All widely adopted marketing products for local businesses from the past 30 years were "do-it-for-you" solutions: print advertising is a hands-off experience for a business owner, 'webmasters' deliver finished and infrequently updated sites, online ad networks earn the bulk of their SMB ad dollars from resellers and agencies instead of direct spend, and the early daily deal success was built with hands-on sales, account management, and editorial staff."
Now, for $299 a month, Main Street Hub's crack team will respond to snarky tweets directed at their clients promptly and professionally. The design output isn't a new kind of user interface, instead it's a series of algorithms and reports used by account managers. It's still a design process, just not one that will set Dribbble on fire.
User Research Is Fine. User Behavior Is Better
Surveys and positive customer feedback are great, but they don't pay the server bills. An important lesson from the class was gauging success not by what customers said, but by how willing people they were to open their wallets. In other words, user research has its limits. User behavior though? It teaches a lot more than words ever will.
Allison and Stuart admit that most of the users of the first version of their product let the subscription lapse, but once the "do-it-for-you" change was made, the purchasing behavior followed quickly. "The first few customers we showed it to paid us with cash on the spot," says Stuart. "One guy was three dollars short, but we gladly accepted his payment."
Don't Wait for Feedback
Creative people are often sensitive and hesitant to show off their ideas before they're fully formed. "If you're building the wrong product, you'll hear no," says Allison. "You might as well hear it as early as you can." Laboring under false assumptions cost Stuart and Allison time and money that could have been saved if they had sought out negative feedback earlier.
Find the Paradigms That Deserve to Die
Plenty of services offer to help business hide negative reviews, but Main Street Hub takes a different approach—embracing them. "We received a call from an auto repair shop owner who said that he was getting new customers as a result of a negative review on Yelp because of how Main Street Hub responded to it," says Stuart. "His new customers were impressed by how much he cared about his customers' experience and it shaped how we think about the opportunity for our customers in a response to a negative review."
Never Stop Iterating
While they've figured out the big picture, Stuart and Allison are far from finished when it comes to refining their service. "We've now crafted more than a million messages in total and have learned from our data what type of content is most engaging for different types of businesses," says Stuart. "We've been able to achieve engagement rates that are five times the industry average as a result."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Seasonal service, take a look at when we fly.
When you picture a classic American vacation spent on beaches, shopping trips and golf courses, there's a good chance you're picturing Myrtle Beach. A city built for vacations, Myrtle Beach's flexibility comes from the volume of options available to travellers of all types and ages.
Myrtle Beach is one of a cluster of beachfront communities built along the Grand Strand, an uninterrupted 60+ mile stretch of open sand on the Atlantic Ocean. The humid subtropical climate entices tourists to visit year-round, with May to September being the high season. April and October are great times to visit for flexible travellers looking to find a bargain and avoid the crowds. The weather is still beach friendly (particularly for hardy Canadians) and the ocean is enjoyable for water activities.
Just off the sand, the revitalized Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Boardwalk & Promenade hosts several festivals, including Hot Summer Nights, and events during the summer including fireworks, live music and activities like SkyWheel Myrtle Beach. The purely pedestrian boardwalk acts as a great place to start your holiday with a variety of accommodations and close proximity to numerous shops and restaurants. Children's carnivals and a bustling night life give everyone a chance to play.
The array of boutique and specialty shops along the boardwalk provide a unique shopping experience for visitors. Barefoot shopping at Myrtle Beach's outdoor venues like Broadway at the Beach is an acceptable option, but keeping your flip-flops on is also OK. Many of Myrtle Beach's factory outlets and shopping malls provide options for travellers more interested in bargain hunting as well as entertainment options like movie theatres.
Scattered around the city and surrounding area are more than 250 golf courses, giving claim to Myrtle Beach's title as golf capital of the world. Championship-level courses designed by legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman are available to the public. Courses with a range of difficulty levels also appeal to casual golfers looking for a scenic walk, from par threes to mini-golf.
A living tribute to summer holidays, Myrtle Beach is a walker's paradise of golfing, shopping and strolling along the beach. WestJet is happy to help you get your feet on the ground, with direct flights from Toronto and connections from many of our other Canadian gateways.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Superstarov, Aug 7, 2006.
I forgot to set my lineup, basically kissing any chance at a comeback good by this week. DANG!
Ok, good thing I can manage a hockey team better than I can prognosticate. :nerd2: I read through the old posts in this thread. Pretty funny. Everything from Sean Avery to Tom Poti. I only have 4 guys remaining from my original draft list. (Kiprusoff, J. Williams, Gonchar...and my late mid rounder Lecavalier!!! The steal of the draft. Bit early to brag since the playoffs have yet to begin, but if I don't do it now, it may be too late. Sooooo.... come down off the scaffolds Woody & Roscoe. No need to hang yourselvesfor losing to a superior team. You guys already did your choking in the last week of the season while I abused poor Linny 12-0. Join the party. Oh, never mind Roscoe. You gotta play this week...no drinking for you!
Congrats to Tater for ???? Just note that no one ever remembers who the league champion was, just who won the playoffs. You finished up with two easy marks. Now you have to play the big boys. I hope you sleep well this week, because you'll be sweating bullets very soon!!! NOW THE FUN REALLY BEGINS!!! (maybe i'll get to play roscoe again. I certainly hope so)
Hey folks, Do we get carry-overs??? My team is going nuts this week when we're not even playing!! Can I carry-over some of these goals, assists, GWG, etc. to next week??? I may need them against the Sandwich-man or the Rodent-keeper. Another question, it looks like the finals cover a two-week period. Is that true??? (I may not need to know ). I can't wait for next week!! THIS IS FUN!!!!
Wow. Going into Sunday we have a tie between Jammer & Bezeach and Roscoe and Squirrels. Great stuff. But what happens if there is still a tie after tomorrow. Does Yahoo determine the winner randomly? That would really suck totally. Anyhow, Good luck guys!
I'm (&^#$% dead. My big guns have come up flat, and my goaltending has been unspectacular. Squirrels had 3 game winning goals in one night for the love of pete. The only way I can win is if Ryan Miller and Buffalo get shelled today.
I'll be surprised if you don't pull it out but it would be a huge upset if you lose.
My season has really come unravelled in the last two weeks. I should have fought harder for the bye. Crosby and Malkin have been less than wonderful, and Zetterberg is out. Compound that with running into a HOT Squirrels team and I am in deep doo-doo. I can only hope that Atlanta bombs the heck out of Miller and chases him from the crease this afternoon. Then I am back to a 50/50 chance of advancing.
Squirrels are HOT. I ran into them on the last week of the regular season. Got beat, but snuck into the bye spot. This week my guys are red hot and I'm not playing anyone. I get the Micro-Squirrels winner who should be hard to beat. Meanwhile, DiPetro is injured and Broduer got bombed. Goalies are a strange breed. Its tough near the top!!!!
I'm waiting on the Jammer/Bezeach winner. Looked like Jam was gonna pull the slight upset, but now it's up for grabs. Either team will be tough.
Woohoo, I just flipped on my Center Ice package in time to see ATL score their second goal on Miller to go up 2-1. SHELL HIM!
It's darn close, but I think I may have edged this one out. Still a couple of games wrapping up. Would love to win the whole shebang, but would be pleased as punch with my season if I make it out of the first round. This playoffs will be gruelling. Tough competitors in the playoff bracket.
I'm about to have a heart attack just from watching your guys' close series. I'm scared to think what happens when I have to play (Bezeach/Jammer?) next week.
Wow. This was like a 7 game series. Luckily game 7 was blowout. Looks like I won. :dizzy2: Now Squirrels has to go No time to party though, I got play Sid's next week!
I play Jammer. How in the hell do both Cannuckians make the playoffs? Jammer didn't even beat Bezeach...they tied but Jammer is in. I think somebody is sleeping with the Yahoo judges. You're in way over your head Jammer. You are going to get a crash course in Florida hockey this week. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Florida Hockey = Bad ice surface and fans throwing rats. Les Canadiens @ Florida|11/16/06| Final: 5-1 Florida [Archive] - Page 5 - Babillard canadiens.com Fan Forum Florida Panthers FAQ Page
LOL...where do you find this obscure stuff so quickly? Anyhow... Rat > Octopus
Dude, you never forget people throwing a ton of rubber rats on the ice. The Panthers got swept in 4. Octopus 4 Ever.
WELL!!! I get pastrami on rye after all. Hold the mayo. Its interesting that we both have Nashville goalies. DePetrio got bonked, so I picked Mason. I guess they can only play one at a time. Maybe Hasek will pull another groin, and micro doesn't make the goalie minimum. Lets hope we can knock out the Canadians (not Montreal, stupid). But playing hockey in Florida is rediculous. Especially since St. Louis isn't even in Florida. (Why roscoe made that trade is beyond me) LET THE WILD RUMPUS BEGIN!!!!!!!

Hello Peter:
Can you please elaborate? The chi-square test of fit--or the likelihood
ratio test comparing the saturated to the target model--is pretty
robust, though as I indicated, it does not behave as expected at small
samples, when data are not multivariate normal, when the model is
complex (and the n to parameters estimated ration is low). However, as I
mentioned there are remedies to the problem. More specifically see:
Bollen, K. A., & Stine, R. A. (1992). Bootstrapping goodness-of-fit
measures in structural equation models. Sociological Methods & Research,
21(2), 205-229.

noncentrality-based and incremental model fit. Structural Equation
Modeling, 16(1), 1–27.

matrices (doctoral thesis). University of Adelaide, Adelaide.

mean and covariance structure analysis with nonnormal missing data. In
M. E. Sobel & M. P. Becker (Eds.), Sociological Methodology (pp.
165-200). Washington, D.C: ASA.
In addition to elaborating, better yet, if you have a moment give us
some syntax for a dataset that you can create where there are
simultaneous equations with observed variables, an omitted cause, and
instruments. Let's see how the Hansen-J test (estimated with reg3, with
2sls and 3sls) and the normal theory chi-square statistic (estimated
with sem) behave (with and with robust corrections).

In general I find Acock's books helpful and I have bought two of them.
The latest one he has on SEM was gives a very nice overview of the SEM
module in Stata. However, it is disappointing on some of the statistical
theory, in particular with respect to fact that he gave too much
coverage to "approximate" indexes of overidentification, which are not
tests, and did not explain enough what the chi-square statistic of
overidentification is.
The Stata people are usually very good about strictly following
statistical theory, as do all econometricians, and do not promote too
much these approximate indexes. So, I was a bit annoyed to see how much
airtime was given to rule-of-thumb indexes that have no known
distributions and are not tests. The only serious test of
overidentification, analogous to the Hansen-Sargen statistic is the
chi-square test of fit. So, my suggestion to Alan is that he spends some
time to cover that in the updated addition and not to suggest that
models that fail the chi-square test are "approximately good."
For those who do not know what this statistic does, it basically
compares the observed variance-covariance (S) matrix to the fitted
variance covariance matrix (sigma) to see if the difference (residuals)
are simultaneously different from zero. The fitting function that is
minimized is:
Fml = ln|Sigma| - ln|S| + trace[S.Sigma^-1] - p
As Sigma approaches S, the log of the determinant of Sigma less the log
of the determinant of S approach zero; as concerns the two last terms,
as Sigma approaches S, the inverse of Sigma premultiplied by S makes an
identity matrix, whose trace will equal the number of observed variables
p (thus, those two terms also approach zero). The chi-square statistic
is simply Fml*N, at the relevant DF (which is elements in the
variance-covariance matrix less parameters estimated).
This chi-square test will not reject a correctly specified model;
however, it does not behave as expected at small samples, when data are
not multivariate normal, when the model is complex (and the n to
parameters estimated ration is low), which is why several corrections
have been shown to better approximate the true chi-square distribution
(e.g., Swain correction, Yuan-Bentler correction, Bollen-Stine bootstrap).
In all, I am thankful to Alan for his nice "how-to" guides which are
very helpful to students who do not know Stata need a "gentle
introduction"--so I recommend them to my students, that is for sure.
But, I would appreciate a bit more beef from him for the SEM book in
updated versions.

On Wednesday, 27th November, our home city of Dubai erupted in celebration as it won its bid to host the World Expo 2020. As Premier Partners of the Expo 2020 bid team, we're excited at this fantastic opportunity to show the world what an innovative and dynamic city Dubai is. His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Emirates Airline & Group, described the win as a 'momentous milestone'.
What is the World Expo?
The event is held every five years over six months, attracting millions of visitors to explore new innovations, ideas, scientific and technological advances. The World Expo gives a boost to new and current industry and ultimately aims to bring about global change.
The winning theme, titled Connecting minds, creating the future, will turn the spotlight on Dubai as the city hosts a forum to discuss important global issues such as sustainability, mobility and opportunity. At Emirates, we share the passion for connecting people around the world to share ideas, cultures and experiences and we're proud to be part of the bid.
This will be the first time the event has been held in the Middle East. With such a multicultural society, there has never been a more fitting place to host the World Expo than Dubai, arguably the crossroads of the world. To read more on the bid and the team behind the event, visit the Dubai Expo 2020 official website.

Over 7000 posts, advanced member, joined March 2002. 1st post (as anonymous) was the day after Super Bowl 35
Cris Carter has always had a bug up his *** about Coughlin and the Giants......this coming from a dude with ZERO rings.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
sigh....lets just win a friggin game
In essence then, Chris "Einstein" Carter says that the Giants fade in November because they have been ground down by Coughlin but with 2 months of additional grinding, they rise from the dead because of their greatness. That makes perfect sense.
No one remembers who came in second.

Rotini, also known as corkscrew pasta, is a great choice for chunky meat sauces and hearty soups because the spirals can trap the sauce or broth, making every bite a flavorful one.
The Dish on RotiniWhen you're serving a hearty dish and don't want to miss a drop of flavor, pair it with rotini, a spiral-shaped pasta with plenty of nooks and crannies for seasonings, sauces, and vegetables to hide. Rotini is a favorite to serve with thick, cheesy sauces, so try it in your go-to macaroni and cheese recipe, then give a few of our top-picks a try.
Whole Wheat Blend Rotini with Spicy Turkey Sausage and Mustard GreensWhole wheat rotini and fresh greens add both hearty flavor and fill-you-up fiber to this main dish pasta.
Marinara Sauce Over RotiniChunky homemade marinara sauce is a good partner for the spiraled corkscrew pasta.
Shrimp, Lemon, and Spinach Whole-grain Pasta SaladAdd Greek flavor to a pasta salad with fresh mint, lemon, and yogurt. Serve this seafood pasta salad either warm or at room temperature.
Rotini and Cheese with Broccoli and HamTurn mac and cheese into a hearty one-saucepan supper by adding broccoli and chopped ham. Its cheesy creaminess is the ultimate in comfort.
Rotini Salad with Kalamata Olive DressingThe over-the-top flavor of this salad comes from roasted bell peppers, olives, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. If you want to make if a meatless main dish salad, just leave out the small amount of prosciutto.
Roasted Vegetable-Rosemary Chicken SoupRoasted carrot, onion, pepper, mushrooms, and celery add an earthy sweetness to this whole wheat pasta and chicken soup.
Orange-Ginger Skillet ChickenTake your campfire cuisine up a notch with this chicken-pasta dish that's prepared in a cast-iron skillet over the fire. Of course, your stovetop is always a good option if you're not into roughing it in the great outdoors.

But Martin Luther King Jr. didn't fault Romney for his absence, which the governor ascribed to his policy against public appearances on the Sabbath. "At a news conference following the march . . . [King] refused to criticize Romney for not attending the demonstration," the Sentinel reported.
"Issuing the proclamation, and sending his personal representatives, was probably more than 49 other governors would have been willing to do at that time," says Clayborne Carson, director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project at Stanford University. "It took considerable courage."
Romney would go much further, participating in a small demonstration in Grosse Pointe later that week; refusing to endorse Barry Goldwater in 1964, largely because of Goldwater's vote against the Civil Rights Act; and, in 1965, marching in Detroit to protest the police actions in Selma, Alabama.
These acts placed him at odds with his political party and with his church leadership. They are the types of actions, in defense of principles and at the risk of ambitions, that appear to be lacking in Romney's son — a failing that leads him, repeatedly, into false or exaggerated claims such as the one that has him in trouble this week.
Mitt Romney never questioned or decried the Mormon Church's doctrine forbidding black priests, which continued until 1978, at which time Romney was 31 years old, a vice president at Bain & Company, and the father of four.
So, for evidence of a principled stand he never took, Romney appropriated his father's principles. But, unlike King himself, Romney was not satisfied with what George Romney actually did. He inflated it, placing his father into the iconic position of marching alongside the civil rights leader.
He didn't just use imprecise language, as his campaign is now spinning it. His language — in at least three different nationally televised instances, including this past Sunday's Meet the Press with Tim Russert — was precise enough: he had direct, personal first-hand knowledge that his father had marched with Dr. King.
The precision, in fact, is the problem: the sincerity with which he offered the memory, the emotion that led his eyes to well up. This was not a man simply passing along something he had once come across in a David Broder book.
And yesterday, after being called on the issue, he offered more specifics. He told reporters in Iowa that he recalled his father changing his mind, and deciding to march even though it was Sunday.
