The Prime Minister's efforts to save money on OAS may be laudable, but failing to address the demographic challenges and associated costs of the decades to come will have a serious impact on the young people of today. Our country's next generation will be burdened with debt and will lack the fiscal capacity to deal with the even longer-term issues.
Hey there! Over here! Actually, right behind you. Sorry to interrupt The Game. Or rather, the pre-game. Or the pre-game game. Did you hear that The Huffington Post will be launching a Quebec edition this week? I know, right? They just launched France, and now Quebec. "Le Huffington Post." Sounds like a cigarette. In Quebec's case, a cigarette with cheese curds and gravy -- and really, really good news and content, like the other HuffPost sites, except better because it's in French.
Raising the OAS age will target those least capable of doing without it. Rest assured, no one is going to quit working just because they will now get about $600 a month. But this will be very meaningful for those now living on less since access to Guaranteed Income Supplement is tied to receiving Old Age Security.
Don Drummond should be insulted that his report is going to be little more than political cover for the Liberals. It's going to be a convenient straw man for the party, giving them the option to lay any unpleasantness at the feet of an unaccountable third party.
To what extent is a given budget cut driven by ideology? The introduction of the omnibus crime bill and the elimination of the gun registry are red meat tossed to the Conservatives' electoral base. What other programs will need to go in order to satisfy this core constituency?
For this country's urban intelligentsia (the kind of people who think subsidizing Margaret Atwood books should take priority over buying military helicopters), a reduced CBC budget is more terrifying than a Don Cherry rant.
Lt.-Gen. Andrew Leslie is quoted in Maclean's as having said the "tail," or administrative staff in Ottawa's Defence headquarters, has grown like topsy and "we've got almost as many people in Ottawa as we have in the regular-force deployable army." One is tempted to ask "what else is new?"
The media couldn't even keep its eyes open during the Manitoba election campaign, only occasionally looking below the surface of the promises and policies. Then again, the resurrected NHL Winnipeg Jets were beginning their pre-season games and the Bombers were in first place. The media can only do so much.
If somehow you have gotten through the last 30 years without HIV/AIDS impacting your life, kudos to you. For the rest of us, it's been different. That's why Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford's proposed cuts to funding to HIV/AIDS prevention and services has provoked outrage.
Maybe British Prime Minister David Cameron will light a policy fire under the Harper government while he's in Ottawa. His Big Society idea challenges citizens to get Big Government out of the way. But putting cost-cutting and community empowerment side-by-side can produce the perfect storm of political opportunism.
As a mayoral candidate, Rob Ford promised the people of Toronto that waste was threatening to engulf the city. But the waste that Ford reported were drowning this city in ever-increasing deficits just don't seem to exist.
The discussion around cutting library services comes from a place devoid of thought or emotion. It comes from a place where numbers on a balance sheet are expected to tell the entire story, when in fact they merely tell us how much things cost.
The connection between the Tea Party ideologues and the Harper government is their stealth agenda to starve governments of tax monies to spend on social programs and downsize to a minimal state the very organizations they were elected to lead.
The popular discontent of the last few months is certainly understandable. What is less understandable is what seems to be a widespread belief among Greeks that the citizens are neither responsible nor have any obligation to bear the consequences for their government's overspending.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Do not ever, EVER use this company. They are the most unprofessional, inadequete people I have ever had to deal with ever. I had placed an order for delivery a month in advance. A week after the agreed upon delivery date the flowers had not been delivered. Since then I have been bounced between representatives on the phone, lied to and tricked.
After finally giving up and cancelling my order and explaining that I want my money returned I was lied to again. A representative told me that I was to receive a full refund.
The refund never came and so I called again. This time I was told refunds are strictly prohibited and I will not be getting my money back. I was told I have been given full refund in the form of "points" which would allow me to order from them again. I questioned why they would think I would possibly want to order from them again. The representative responded with informing me that she could help me pick out new flowers.
I was denied the right to speak to a supervisor when I asked. I also asked for contact information for the company's higher ranking employees which I was told I did not need. This company is extraordinarily unprofessional and has extremely inadequate service representatives.
If a product ordered was never sent out a refund is owed to the customer. That should have been all there was to it. But, instead the company just pulls your chain for weeks and never follows through.
I repeat: DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY. If you have, file a complaint with The Better Business Bureau. If enough people do then something must be done to shut these ridiculous people down.

Bought a used 30-30 Winchester on a whim several years ago. It did not cost much, works perfectly, and is in great shape. Found out real quick that it is not that much fun to shoot all day.
I regret it only because it's taking up valuable room in the safe.
Side note: Now I really laugh when I watch the old westerns. They never run out of ammo and the rifle has no recoil at all. Yeah, right.

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Neil Diamond's entry in MCA's multivolume 20th Century Masters points up the essential flaw of the whole series. While the title suggests a sort of time capsule--something truly representative of an artist's best work--that turns out to be true only to the extent that the label controls that material. Thanks to the budget-minded nature of the project, no attempts were made to include any of Diamond's great hits recorded for the Bang label, or the wildly successful adult-contemporary fare he did later for Columbia. True, there are some great hits here from the second phase of his career--"Sweet Caroline," "Holly Holy," "Song Sung Blue," and "I Am... I Said"--but the set ignores three Top 20 hits from this period, so it's less than definitive. Still, if you pair it with another greatest-hits package, Classics: The Early Years, you've got a pretty good collection of Diamond's best stuff. --Daniel Durchholz

I submitted a mobile template and included notes in both the description and the notes to reviewer that it is ONLY for mobiles and does not look nice on the desktop. The template looks nice on the phone and is really flexible. I'm not sure what they mean by low quality so really don't know where to start on improving it. Could some of you guys with android / ios devices take a look and let me know where I have gone so wrong please?
Please remember it is only meant to look nice on mobile devices.
Thank you in advance for any help
Edit: the email said to look at items already on themeforest to see what i need to improve. I looked at this one before I started work and can't work out how it can be considered better than mmine. http://preview.nicedesign.be/templates/mymagazinesmobile/green/
If it does not look nice on a desktop, it will most likely not look nice on mobile.
PS please refrain from pointing out other items, this is really a bad character sign. It's not others' fault that you failed.
That is not true at all. Everything is scaled for small screens so looks too large on the desktop. I can't understand why the reviewer didn't just look at it on a mobile device?
I'm not blaming others I'm simply saying that I followed their advice and don't see how I havent matched the quality of an existing item.
The design is very low quality. I'm not trying to put you down but your design needs a huge amount of work. It looks like it's from 1999.

Former Australia cricketer Rodney Hogg's anti-Muslim tweet on Australia Day is drawing fire.
The ex-fast bowler wrote on Twitter earlier today that he "Just put out my Aussie flag for Australia Day but I wasn't sure if it would offend Muslims... so I wrote 'Allah is a s---' on it to make sure.''
The tweet was quickly deleted, with Hogg writing "Bad attempted Australian humour, sorry if I offended you."
Later, Hogg extended the apology, saying he offered "sincere apologies to the Muslim community. A stupid tweet by me in very bad taste."
The president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, Ikebal Patel, told The Age that the remark was "absolutely despicable."
"For him to say such things is more than despicable, it's the pits really," Mr Patel told The Age.

Risk aversion strengthens yen
On Tuesday, the Japanese yen held on to revenues, backed up by traders' risk aversion as well as fading expectations that Japan is going to weaken the currency after a fresh warning by the US last week against intervention.
Commodity-linked currencies, including the Australian and Canadian dollars found themselves on the back foot, weighed down by an ongoing decrease in commodities such as crude oil.
As for the common currency, it treaded water at 122.635 yen, right after dipping 0.8% overnight.
The evergreen buck dared to rise 0.1%, being worth 109.385 yen, having dropped to 109.120 on Monday, when it lost almost 1%.
The major US currency had surged to a three-week peak of 110.590 last week, following prospects of the Fed as for another interest rate hike in June.
However, the greenback has given back a huge portion of its revenues to the Japanese yen after a weekend G7 gathering of major bankers as well as finance ministers, who along with the US issued warning to Japan against probable intervention aimed at taming the yen.

Report Shows Drop In Proportion of Children In U.S. Population »
"The number of children living in the United States declined slightly, as did the percentage of the U.S. population who are children, according to the federal government's annual statistical report on the well-being of the nation's children and yo"...
Read the Report Shows Drop In Proportion of Children In U.S. Population article »
The occurrence of tetanus in the United States has decreased dramatically from 560 reported cases in 1947, when national reporting began, to a record low of 48 reported cases in 1987.1 The decline has resulted from widespread use of tetanus toxoid and improved wound management, including use of tetanus prophylaxis in emergency rooms.2
BayTet (tetanus immune globulin (human) solvent/detergent treated 250 units) supplies passive immunity to those individuals who have low or no immunity to the toxin produced by the tetanus organism, Clostridium tetani. The antibodies act to neutralize the free form of the powerful exotoxin produced by this bacterium. Historically, such passive protection was provided by antitoxin derived from equine or bovine serum; however, the foreign protein in these heterologous products often produced severe allergic manifestations, even in individuals who demonstrated negative skin and/or conjunctival tests prior to administration. Estimates of the frequency of these foreign protein reactions following antitoxin of equine origin varied from 5%–30%.3-6 If passive immunization is needed, human tetanus immune globulin (TIG) is the product of choice. It provides protection longer than antitoxin of animal origin and causes few adverse reactions.2
Several studies suggest the value of human tetanus antitoxin in the treatment of active tetanus.7,8 In 1961 and 1962, Nation et al,7 using Hyper-Tet treated 20 patients with tetanus using single doses of 3,000 to 6,000 antitoxin units in combination with other accepted clinical and nursing procedures. Six patients, all over 45 years of age, died of causes other than tetanus. The authors felt that the mortality rate (30%) compared favorably with their previous experience using equine antitoxin in larger doses and that the results were much better than the 60% national death rate for tetanus reported from 1951 to 1954.9 Blake et al,10 however, found in a data analysis of 545 cases of tetanus reported to the Centers for Disease Control from 1965 to 1971 that survival was no better with 8,000 units of TIG than with 500 units; however, an optimal dose could not be determined.
Serologic tests indicate that naturally acquired immunity to tetanus toxin does not occur in the United States. Thus, universal primary vaccination, with subsequent maintenance of adequate antitoxin levels by means of appropriately timed boosters, is necessary to protect persons among all age groups. Tetanus toxoid is a highly effective antigen; a completed primary series generally induces protective levels of serum antitoxin that persist for ≥ 10 years.2
Passive immunization with BayTet (tetanus immune globulin (human) solvent/detergent treated 250 units) may be undertaken concomitantly with active immunization using tetanus toxoid in those persons who must receive an immediate injection of tetanus antitoxin and in whom it is desirable to begin the process of active immunization. Based on the work of Rubbo,11 McComb and Dwyer,12 and Levine et al,13 the physician may thus supply immediate passive protection against tetanus, and at the same time begin formation of active immunization in the injured individual which upon completion of a full toxoid series will preclude future need for antitoxin.
Peak blood levels of IgG are obtained approximately 2 days after intramuscular injection. The half-life of IgG in the circulation of individuals with normal IgG levels is approximately 23 days.14
In a clinical study in eight healthy human adults receiving another hyperimmune immune globulin product treated with solvent/detergent, Rabies Immune Globulin (Human), BayRab®, prepared by the same manufacturing process, detectable passive antibody titers were observed in the serum of all subjects by 24 hours post injection and persisted through the 21 day study period. These results suggest that passive immunization with immune globulin products is not affected by the solvent/detergent treatment.

wiring HELP
ik it a cj but can anyone help us
Not sure what your problem is, yet.
ill put up pics in a bit
3 Attachment(s)
some pics
what type of problem are you having? No start? Misfires? Firing order? Tell us as much as you can about what you are trying to do and how the jeep is responding.
ok so we are reworing the hole thing an now when we turn the lights on it tryes to start the engine but it wont start ummmm is not the stock set up for the wiring becuase the PO changed thing there also two wires coming outta the distibutor its a inline 6
so then the wire you have hooked to the light switch should be re-routed to the ignition. that way when you turn the key to start it tries to start the engine.
Your on the right track, its just going to take some time to pinpoint each and every connection on its own. unfortunately you said its not a stock setup, therefore no one has a diagram to help. At that point, its trial and error.
Try something, LABEL THE WIRE!
Try something else, LABEL THAT WIRE!
And so on until you have something to go off from.
we have volts but when we turn the key theres nothing it doesnt try to turn over any ideas?????
Does it have a starter solenoid on the fender like the V8 CJs did
best i could offer and please dont be offended but find someone astute at electical work that could spend some major time on that cause it looks like a mess
The solenoid should have four terminals 2 big terminals labeled (B) and (A) and 2 small terminals labeled (I) and (S). Battery power goes to terminal (A) main starter wire goes to (B). You should have a small 16 or 18 gauge wire running to terminal (S) this wire should run to a wire that is only hot when the key is in the start position. Check to make sure when you turn the key to start you have power to the (S) terminal. If you do then make then make sure the trans is in neutral then jump terminal (A) and (B) with a screw driver. If it cranks then try changing the solenoid. I hope this helps.

What You Need To Know About Operating An Android TV Box
There is a good chance that you have heard about the all-amazing Android TV box. Perhaps, you are looking for information on how they operate. To start off, an Android box is a technological advanced TV box that hooks up to your existing television. It also has the ability to transform any TV into a smart TV. This will give you access to TV shows, live sports, movies, as well as a multitude of video game apps and live stream music as shown on androidtvboxes.ie. You can also choose to play music or browse the Internet via a web browser. However, before you just jump right into all this fun you are going to need to know how to work the device.
Setting Up A Wi-Fi Connection
The first thing you need to know is that in order for the box to work you must have access an open Internet connection. Most boxes can either be connected through Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet connection. If you want to use the Wi-Fi connection, you will have to click on the settings icon, select the Wi-Fi option, and then choose your router. After this you will be required to enter you username and password. Once this information is entered in correctly you Wi-Fi connection will be available.
Learn About Fusion
Fusion is a great tool that allows you to download add-on applications for your new Android box. If you are familiar with other Android devices, they use similar applications. However, fusion was a specially designed app that was created for Android boxes only. Before you can use fusion you will have to install the device, but it is pretty straightforward.
Understanding XBMC
The XBMC is basically just a media center that allows you to choose between the different types of medias that you want to view. For instance, from this homepage this is where you will choose to listen to music, watch TV, play games, or download updates.
Digital Summit works with Bonus Electronics
Our newest client is another big challenge for us which is something we love! We have worked with many types of sites including blogs (like this one!), affiliate websites and websites for small and medium businesses but this site is a brand new ecommerce store selling electronics mainly focusing on bluetooth speakers and headphones. This site is a challenge because of the large amount of products on offer and therefore a bigger workload when it comes to marketing. The site does not have much content as it is an ecommerce site and this is traditionally a problem with e commerce websites but maybe that is another blog post!
Lets take bluetooth speakers for example. This is one of the main products for this website so this is where we need to write more content around the products available. They offer a range of bluetooth speakers which in turn we must write content for a target those particular sets of speakers such as portable bluetooth speakers as example. We will also run a Google adwords campaign on this website as that works quite well for ecommerce sites. We will start out with a small budget until we get things right and start making a profit and then expand the campaign to other products on offer.
The first thing we will do is a full analysis of the website including the layout of the site. For example we would have bluetooth speakers as a main category and that would have several categories under it such as portable bluetooth speakers. This will then create a structure that is good for the consumer and good for the search engines.
Digital Summit Works on A Refurbished iPhone Website
A friend of mine who used to own a repair shop locally (I would rather not name where exactly) had the idea to repair various electronics and sell them online. This is a market that has apparently become more and more popular in the last 2 – 3 years. According to market research this market will be as big as the phone repair market in several years which is quite staggering. After a few informal conversations about what our friend was trying to achieve with his site we decided to take it on as a project at a reduced price as an experiment.
The Site:
The site itself is quite small and to the point. It is no more than 25 pages as it is at the moment and only offers a small range of popular refurbished products including refurbished iPhone 5S and iPads. The first thing we done with this site was to change the design to something a bit easier on the eye and also something that is easier to navigate than what we first encountered. This should improve the length of time potential customers spend on the site.
Marketing Plan:
Our marketing plan herein was to start a blog with advice on buying refurbished products and also announcements of deals and up coming products in order to generate extra interest. This should also help naturally with website visibility. We will also run a PPC adwords campaign to help drive targeted traffic to the site. Although on a limited budget we expect that this will return a decent return on investment.
We will also be adding more content to the product pages to help fill them out a bit more and give them more traction. So we will update this post in a months time after we have implemented what we have said above. The website if anyone is interested is www.refurbishediphones.ie.
Extending Your Wireless Network With WiFi Boosters
In today's age, it is absolutely pertinent for all homeowners to have a reliable wireless network within their houses. The Ethernet cable is simply too inconvenient to be effective for the mass majority of purposes and Wi-Fi will prove to be a much more convenient alternative. Of course, Wi-Fi is not perfect and it can become problematic very quickly. This is especially true, if you reside in a large dwelling. If you do, you might find the signal dropping out from time to time or you may not be able to receive a signal at all within one or two rooms. Rectification can be as easy as purchasing one of the market's top WiFi boosters. These products will be explored in greater depth below.
What Are They?
Wi-Fi Boosters are highly innovative devices, which are capable of enhancing your home's wireless network. Networking several computers together is a necessity for many individuals and Wi-Fi boosters may be needed. Typically, the booster plugs into your home's outlet and acts as a go-between from your router and further away devices. It captures the signal from the router and beams it back out. As a result, this extends the capabilities of your current networking system further than ever before.
What To Consider
Before investing in one of these devices, it is crucial to inspect each of your options. Aside from the overall cost, you should also check out the capabilities and range of the product. Remember that routers and computers may utilize a variety of unique Wi-Fi standards, including B, G, and N. In order for your Wi-Fi booster to work efficiently, it needs to be compatible with your router's standard. N is recommended and will provide you with the quickest speeds possible, as well as the best range.
If you're having trouble with your home's networking, you may need to extend your wireless range. Rest assured knowing rectification can be acquired with the purchase of a simple and affordable Wi-Fi booster.

As the year draws to a close I sat down and reflected on a number of my "Favourite" Social Media Marketing Tools for 2014.
These are the tools, books and resources that have transformed my business in 2014 and I hope they will help to shape your marketing and business in 2015.
I included "Productivity Tools" in the heading because many of the things that made a difference in my business this year were not just Social Media Marketing Tools.
These were the books, apps, programs, tools, people and podcasts that have had a massive impact on my productivity and overall business strategy.
And they are not just one-hit-wonders. I will continue to use and integrate all of these tools into my social media and content strategy in 2015.
Because let's face it, if I don't, then the old procrastination-queen will come out …and she's all kinds of awesome at avoiding the task at hand when not kept on track by these 26 little helpers!
Here they are … and the reasons why you should check them out for 2015 too:
Productivity & Scheduling Tools
1 Momentum
Momentum is a free Google Chrome plug-in, and it's like a personal dashboard that keeps me on task for the major goal I am working on for the day and up to 3 smaller "to do" tasks.
Momentum is just like a "new tab" dashboard. It keeps me from getting lost in new tabs. Literally.
How? By popping up on every new tab I open, with a reminder of my focus for the day, key tasks, the weather (cause a girl's gotta know when to venture out), time, and a motivational quote.
Not only that, it helps me to reduce distraction and keep inspired – it's a giant canvas of beauty on my desktop. Each day brings a new, awesome image from Momentum's library that greets me like this:
I can set the daily focus task each morning and also change out my small list of to-do items. Every time I find myself opening a new "tab" on my desktop I am immediately reminded of what I should be working on – in a visually calming way!
I have been focusing on a smaller "to do" list for the past year, with just 3 items per day to complete (usually one bigger one and 2 smaller ones). This app has been like a team member gently prodding me to keep on tasks.
Let's face it. It's flippin' hard to keep focused and be organised when managing social media – whether it's your own business or someone else's. This tool keeps me on track and will keep you on track too!
2 Post Planner
I had a positive reunion with Post Planner about a year ago. I had used Post Planner very early on and loved it for posting to Facebook. I honestly can't remember why I stopped using it but I am pretty certain it had nothing to do with the app. Maybe I followed the bright shiny lights to another tool and just forgot to come back.
But boy oh boy, when founder Joshua Parkinson showed me the new souped-up version of Post Planner – my eyes were bulging with excitement.
Here is what I love about Post Planner:
- It allows you to post natively within a dashboard that resembles Facebook – so it's easy!
- You can set up "hit lists" or Folders of pages you love to follow and share from. Don't panic now, these are good hit lists to be on and do not involve anyone being in the trunk of a car. With Post Planner you can add all the pages that you love into folders – because you know they provide quality posts on a consistent basis. Find out more about Hit LIsts here.
- You can pre-determine queue times for posts to go out, so you can schedule your posts weeks ahead.
- Post Planner has an uber-cool viral image tool that allows you to check the popularity of visual content on other Facebook Pages and share it. It makes sense that content that performs well on one page, should perform well on your page when you share it, right?
Check out Post Planner and sign up for a free trial here. And shhhh there are big things coming, so now is a great time to get familiar with this app.
And no, you can't squeeze the truth out of me. I am really good at keeping secrets (and also really good at teasing ;o)
3 Tailwind
I have recently started using Tailwind for my Pinterest marketing (to avoid "dumping" my pins as I was not getting to pin as regularly as I would like).
It took me all of 5 minutes to love this tool.
Tailwind is a Pinterest marketing, analytics and management platform. Here are a few reasons why I love Tailwind:
- Tailwind provides suggested times to post at, right out of the box. I love that it can suggest when my followers are the most active and set up those posting times straight up. Otherwise it's just another thing to set up for me. This way, I can come back later and modify or add times as necessary.
- Editing Pinned Images is Easy – just add your correct URL link, description etc – just like on Pinterest
- I can create images using Canva from within Tailwind!
- The Tailwind Publisher for Google Chrome allows me to pin any image from any website and the Tailwind button conveniently shows up on image-rollover.
- You can even schedule your Repins!
- There are loads of stats, reports and tips included – too many to go into here, but detailed information helps you to quickly understand what is working and what is not. I suggest you check out Tailwind here if you are serious about getting more results with Pinterest.
4 Slack
Slack, Slack, Slack. Where do I begin?
I can't take the credit for telling you about Slack (though you can send me a virtual hug anyway). I heard about it via Michael Hyatt and he in turn heard about it via Pat Flynn and he in turn heard about it from the team at Fizzle.co.
I am merely passing on the awesomeness…
I experimented with Slack this year as my business started to grow. I was finding myself juggling more and more email – even with a small fledgling team of VAs and contractors.
Slack removed team/contractor conversations out of the email I was slowly drowning in.
What is Slack? It's a tool that brings all your communication together in one place. It's real-time messaging, archiving and search for modern teams.
But it's so much more – watch this cute video to find out just how much more and I guarantee you will be curious enough to try it!
Slack has a number of things going for it:
- It's highly searchable – you can find old messages easily just like in email.
- It's well designed and super easy (and fun) to use!
- You can set up "channels" of conversation around common interests or projects
- You can swap files, images, documents within Slack and it integrates with many other tools like Asana, Dropbox and Google Docs (even SoundCloud).
- All that plus the power of instant messaging and … yes… Emojis!
Don't be Slack – check it it out. Read Michael's article about how he cut his email back by 83%.
PS it's also a great replacement from longwinded Skype chats. I would suggest you try Slack – you don't have to have a big team. It would work for you even if you are having conversations with contractors. Enjoy!
5 Sunrise Calendar
It's been a long time coming and the search for a fabulous GMail Calendar is finally here. It's called Sunrise.
The Sunrise App is just better. It is beautiful to use (the best designed calendar I have seen). It syncs with all the main devices, Evernote, Google Calendar and has some cool features like colour coded icons.
Do yourself a favour – check it out here.
6 Edgar
Meet Edgar. He is going to make your day and save you hours! I wrote about Edgar here for Social Media Examiner.
Edgar makes sure your social media updates don't go to waste. I literally save hours every week. Right now, I am just using him (sorry for the pronoun, he has that effect on you) for Twitter.
Edgar also posts to Facebook Groups, Pages, LinkedIn Groups and Profiles.
Previously I was using a chunky spreadsheet to keep track of my content posted to Twitter – now with Edgar does all this for me (and saves my content in a cool library) – to get started you just have to:
- Create categories for your posts across the platform you want to use.
- Design your posting schedule for each particular platform. Allocating a category for each of the time slots. You can go back and edit your schedule at any time.
- Add your social updates (text, photos or links) to your library – These can be tweets, posts or images. Assign each update to a category. Each category can have its own library to pull content from.
Edgar takes care of the posting. "He" (there's that pronoun again!) reposts updates using an intuitive system where he pulls updates not yet posted from the category and rotates so that your followers are not seeing the same posts all the time.
It's perfect for sites like Twitter were you want to rotate your content. For sites like Facebook where you might like a particular piece of content posted a a particular time, use the "use once" feature.
The beauty is that Edgar still keeps the content in the "use once" library and you can refer to it later! Edgar's library can also grow and you can add to it indefinitely.
I love to use the Google Chrome tool to add content from any website, especially blog posts from influencers and other social media marketers I know and work with – as well as my own original content.
I only need to spend 30mins-1 hour per week to add blog posts, tips and content, and occasionally at other times as I find them. Edgar is $50 per month and there are no free or reduced-function versions other than an invitation for a free trial.
I suspect that the time saved and ease of use (the interface is beautiful) will be a big drawcard for most people!
Want to know the best bit? All the time I save on writing, finding, curating and reshuffling posts by using Edgar…. I can use on what's important: engaging on Twitter (and for engaging on Twitter I use Agorapulse's Twitter Tool – it is awesome for keeping up with all my notifications and shares and helps me to identify important people that I need to follow up so that I don't miss important tweets.
7 Ian Cleary and Razor Social
I had to mention Ian and Razor Social. His weekly newsletter and blog posts keep me up to date on what is happening with tools for my business.
Many of the tools I have listed here, I discovered through Ian. He is my go-to-guy for tools and tech, but he also makes it super simple.
Not only that, for a slighty-but-not-overly techy person like me, he helps me to understand how these tools get results – from engagement to conversions.
Ian knows his stuff and he knows how to break it down!
If it's easier to do with a tool, Ian will tell you – be sure to follow him!
I wanted to include Books in this post as even though they are not "tools" in the tech or traditional sense, they are "ways of enacting change" in my business, which is something a "tool" does.
Each of these books has resonated greatly with me and has directly resulted in me making change in my daily activities that has impacted my business.
I want to share them with you.
8 Thrive
I am leading with this book, as it absolutely flipped a switch in me this year.
I can't do this book justice but let's just say that if you are struggling with managing your time and "fitting it all in", Thrive will help you to separate the essential from the non-essential and to look at the world, your family, your business in a new light.
Or at the very least it will reinforce what is important to you.
And if you love the Huffington Post you will get the back-story on why this smart, savvy lady completely flipped the way she was working and how she approaches her company today. It's life changing and business changing stuff.
And she will make sure you get more sleep, just sayin'.
9 Will the Real You Please Stand Up
Before you post another social media update….Before you download another tool…Before you launch onto another social media platform…. order this book. And read it.
Kim Garst is one of the Top Forbes-Listed Social Media Influencers in the World for a reason. She knows what works and why.
Surprising as it may seem to most people, this is not just a book about Twitter (which Kim rocks at, with over 300k followers).
This is not just a book about Facebook (Kim defies the odds on a daily basis and gets 500-1000% engagement when most pages struggle to get 2-6%).
It is a book about how to let the real you shine through in your business, so you can tap into the shift in HOW people are buying. As Kim says, we buy from people we know, like and trust, but how we make our purchases is changing.
In Kim's words: This is NOT a "how to" book on social media. It is something much more powerful. It is a guided journey to discovering the most unstoppable force in nature, something which you already have but just don't know how to harness and unleash…YOU!
Grab it. Read it. Apply it to your business.
10 The One Thing
I had read the amazing book ReWork which started me on a journey to rethink the way I do business, especially as I was growing a small team. This book, The One Thing has extended (yet simplified) the concept of going back to basics. This book truly does give the "Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results".
If you are a multi-tasker doing lots of "work" but getting nothing of substance done, then…You. Need. To. Read. This. Book.
It's my holiday reading and I am only 3/4 of the way through it but I have learned so much from this book, and have already started to implement changes ready for next year.
Read "The One Thing" if you want to cut out the clutter, achieve more results in less time, build momentum towards goals, overcome overwhelm, have more energy and stay on track!
11 The Art of Social Media
When Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick join forces to write about Social Media you really should read, listen and take notes. This is an essential guide for knowing how to cut through all the noise and be on the right platforms in the right way.
As Peg and Guy say, this is "the essential guide to get the most bang for your time, effort and money". I was one of the Beta readers for this book and I can tell you that it was awesome then and the final version is just as awesome.
It's jam-packed full of practical tips, case studies, insights and tricks for getting more results out of your time online. It's a no fluff, "do this" book you will keep by your side in the future.
12 The LinkedIn Code
Melanie Dodaro has always been my go-to-gal for LinkedIn advice.
She is one of the world's leading experts on LinkedIn and put simply, if she writes a book on LinkedIn, we all should be reading it.
That is all.
Ok maybe one more thing – Melonie's blog is also a great source for content, not only about LinkedIn but all things "social selling" and she knows her social media and marketing. She is the real deal. Follow her.
Visual Social Media Apps
It wouldn't be a post on my site without my favourite visual content apps and tools. They keep my blog and social media marketing ticking away… and keep me productive!
13 Canva
If you have been following this blog for a while you would know that I love Canva. It's the best DIY graphic design platform on the web.
Basically it puts the functionality of sites like photoshop into the hands of people like us who are not trained designers (and shhh designers use it too).
Here are a few "elements" of Canva you should check out:
- Use the Canva templates on the website – you can create designs for anything when you have a template to help you. From Facebook to Google+ to Instagram and Pinterest or PDFs, Posters, Powerpoint slides and more. Start out with the templates and then get more "custom" with your designs from there.
- Get friendly with Design School. This is more than just a bunch of tutorial videos. More than a blog – it's a blog and a complete "hands on" design school combined in one. Check out Design School here. Each design tutorial is designed to take you personally through the process of learning a new skill. It's not about watching boring videos while someone else does the work. It's about YOU doing the design activity right within Canva. It's the best way to learn and each tutorial only takes a few minutes.
- Get the App Baby! Canva is now on iPad. It's not just a thrown-together version of the full program – this is one of the few apps I have seen that actually is designed from the ground up for ipad. It is "at one" with your fingers. Swipe your way to cool design with Canva on iPad.
14 PicMonkey
I have been a long time fan of Picmonkey – on any given day I will have Picmonkey and Canva tabs open – both achieve different things for me. Picmonkey is an image editing program with cool filters, overlays and all sorts of functions to make your image and photos look awesome.
But it also works pretty well for creating original visual content. I love Picmonkey for:
- the ability to import fonts from my computer so I can work with my brand fonts.
- their cool themes for seasons and events like Christmas, Halloween, Winter, Celebrations
- their color picking tool for matching colours from the web
Just be careful when designing, as Picmonkey does not store your images so make sure you are happy with the finished product before closing your browser!
There is a free version, but the Royale Version is pretty reasonable at about $5 per month.
15 WordSwag
In 2014 while presenting my session at Social Media Marketing World I shared my new favourite tool.
The Twitter Feed went nuts (ok well it wasn't like Ellen had just taken a selfie at the Academy Awards …but there was instant visual action going on!).
For the next day there were dozens of images shared on the Twitter hashtag for the event – all created with WordSwag. It's just so darn easy to use! It's got Swaaaaaaaaaaaager.
And now I love it even WordSwag is a typography design generator – which means that it takes your words and makes them beautiful – quotes, tips, text overlays on photos. This tool is the one that I would most cry over if I lost it.
And even more exciting is their new 2.0 update. I wrote about it here. Make sure you download the update and enjoy creating awesome visual content on the fly with WordSwag.
PS For those that LOVE making visual content but own an Android, please don't be upset with me. I am a mac girl… but I do care. You can also try one of my other favourite tools, Over. It's on iOS and Android.
16 Quick
This little app is the reworked version of Over's "Overgram". You can grab it here.
For images on the fly without too much fluff, Quick is a great tool for adding text to photos… FAST!
Quick is free, with an option to pay to unlock the watermark, upgrade to premium fonts or upgrade to Over. I think all of the above are worth it.
17 Videohance
Love love love love love Videohance. I can't do it justice so you need to watch this video:
And is it any coincidence that this awesome in-the-hand-real-time video editing app is made by the same people as WordSwag?
I think not people. I think not.
Check it out. Download it. Love it. Create some cool videos and be sure to come back and share them with me!
Podcast Shows that kept me up at night
This was the year I fell in love with Podcasts. I can't get enough of them and listen to them for my beach walks or when driving.
If can wrestle the Frozen Soundtrack away from my daughter. BTW, is it a sign I listen to too many podcasts, if Miss 5 knows who Michael Stelzner and Amy Porterfield are by their voice alone?
I digress. Instead of listing all my favourite podcasts (as there are many), I want to list my favourite episodes.
These are the episodes that made a difference for me in the past year and enacted change in my business:
18 Online Marketing Made Easy – "Lessons Learned" Episodes
Amy Porterfield often refers to the concept of finding someone who does something well and learning from them – to model from the best.
So, apart from LOVING her podcast, when Amy says she is doing an episode on what she learned from 2014 and what she intends to do better, I listen.
And so should you.
Here is Amy's 2013 wrap-up episode.
And here is her 2014 episode.
Both are worth listening to (and after that, just go and subscribe to her entire podcast).
19 Smart Passive Income – 9000 unread emails to Inbox Zero
This episode was a game changer for me. I didn't have 9000 unread emails like Pat Flynn did, but I had a few hundred and they were growing daily and overwhelming me.
I needed a system and I found that system in this podcast episode.
Pat goes through the process he took with his Executive Assistant to turn his email management around.
This episide of the Smart Passive Income Podcast is well worth listening to (as is the entire podcast!).
I know of number of people, like me, who have changed their way of operating after listening to this podcast – and started working with Virtual Assistants to get some help.
20 Social Media Marketing Podcast
I try to catch most of the episodes of this podcast. Social Media Examiner (and the Social Media Marketing Podcast) by Michael Stelzner are two of the best, current sources of social media advice there is.
I was honoured to be featured on the podcast in 2014 with Mike Stelzner, and I wanted to share with you a couple more of recent episodes that you will get great content, tips and strategy from:
- Instagram Growth: How to Build a Community on Instagram – Sue B Zimmerman is the best Instagram Strategist I know. This is an awesome podcast episode and Sue BRINGS IT with some really savvy ideas for how to build community and ultimately make sales from Instagram.
- Visual Content – How to Create Shareable Images that People Love – I mentioned Kim Garst's book above and how much engagement she gets on Facebook. This interview with Kim reveals one of the big reasons why her Facebook page engagement is so high – her visual content.
- Advanced Blogging – How to go Big with Your Blog – I have learned a lot about Blogging from Darren Rowse (founder of Digital Photography School and Problogger). so it was great to hear him share his insights on this episode – check it it out!
21 Michael Hyatt and how to Slay Your Dragons Before Breakfast
I love Michael's Blog and Podcast. I have followed him for a number of years now (fun fact: he was the first person who made sense to me on Twitter!).
This episode in particular grabbed me – in fact any of Michael's episodes or blog posts on morning routine are great to listen to. I am not a morning person but when I do make the effort to get up early, it's great! I can get some exercise in, start the day out well and ultimately get more done.
If you are struggling with getting more out of your day, then listen to this podcast episode:
Real Life Events
There is something to be said for attending real life "events" – I consider them a "tool" for my business as they allow me to network and create great connections with other social media marketers as well as to learn from the actual event.
In 2014 I did a lot of speaking and I was fortunate to be a speaker at 3 of the top social media/marketing events around the world – Social Media Marketing World, Problogger Event and Social Media Tourism Symposium.
I highly suggest you check these out, or attend a local event or an event in your country next year:
22 Social Media Marketing World (San Diego, USA)
It was a huge honour to speak at Social Media Marketing World in 2014-2016 and I can't wait to speak again in 2017.
If you are going to make one big journey (within the States or from overseas) to a major Social Media Event, then this is the one to book in your calendar.
Over 100 Social Media Marketers present every year and many of the top brands in the world present and attend.
Even if I was not speaking I would be making the long haul flight to get there from Australia.
Grab your ticket now – they are increasing in price and you won't want to miss networking with 2,500 other marketers on board an aircraft carrier.
It's cool. Very cool.
23 Social Media Tourism Symposium (Australia, USA & Europe)
This conference holds a special place in my heart. I was a speaker at the first Australian Event in Wollongong in 2013 and then again in the Barossa Valley in 2014.
Events are held annually in Australia, the United States and Europe and the team at Destination Think! put on one of the most innovative, valuable, content rich seminars I have been to.
The speakers include some of the top tourism organisations in the world, and smaller operators with amazing marketing stories to tell.
What I love about this conference is that it is not too big, there is loads of networking time, great parties and many surprises. The SoMeT team even held an opening keynote on a plane last year.
Be prepared to be surprised and have your expectations exceeded.
Every social media marketer, working in tourism or not, will walk away raving about this conference. Keep an eye on ticket releases and announcements here.
24 Problogger Event (Australia)
Darren Rowse and his team put on a stellar event for the past 5 years, and 2015 will be no different.
But be quick.
These tickets sell out quicker than a Pink Concert. I'm not kidding. Last year sold out in about 2 hours.
I loved speaking in 2014 and I am looking forward to attending again and soaking up all the great content and speakers in 2015!
To find out more about getting the most out of your next event check out this post.
Real Life Tools
25 Monopod Selfie Stick
This is my Monipod "istablizer" selfie stick. It's great for stabilizing and holding your iphone as a camera or a video camera when out and about. It's like having your own personal camera person!
26 Varidesk Standing Desk
I looooooove this desk. Last year I was doing so much sitting it was starting to feel really uncomfortable so I decided to switch to standing.
This desk is unique because you can flip from sitting to standing in an instant – all with an easy movement to raise it easily to a standing height position.
It's not heavy to operate and sits on my desk like a normal worksplace.
Until I decide to stand up. Then it looks like this.
You can even dance while working…if that's how you roll!
You can buy the Varidesk via Amazon here or in Australia via their website.
That's my year and all the awesome tools, resources, books, podcasts and people in it.
I hope you find some golden nuggets in here to take with you into the next year.

Partners in life, Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have also carried over their relationship into their careers. Canet, who once starred opposite Cotillard in "Love Me If You Dare" before they were together, has directed the actress in the ensemble drama "Little White Lies" and the gritty '70s-set "Blood Ties." Now he's going to do it again, in a picture that offers another creative pivot for the duo.
READ MORE: Review: The 'Little White Lies' That Bind Are Explored In This Leisurely Gallic Dramedy
"Rock 'n' Roll" will star both Cotillard and Canet, with the latter playing a version of himself in a story that revolves around an actor who decides to change his life when a younger actress tells him he's falling down the list of "bangable" actors. Gilles Lellouche, Fanny Ardant, Philippe Lefebvre and Yvan Attal round out the cast for what sounds like a breezy comedy, and one that will hopefully poke a bit of fun at the vanity in the moviemaking industry.
The project will be shopped in the Cannes marketplace next month, and I can't imagine it won't attract attention from the usual arthouse players. So let's hope "Rock 'n' Roll" tunes up and goes in front of cameras soon. [Screen Daily]

Dragonblade commission by IndironWatch
©2014-2017 Indiron
Hey! I made this same weapon for him in 3d haha! Awesome work dude
Very nice render, although the Trigger is in a bit of an awkward place. Due to how it's above the handle, you would have to hold your hand at an absurd angle to fire it. In addition, you can't keep a finger constantly on the trigger due to the awkwardness. Nice design overall though.
that gunblade hmm?
This is a drawing, or like a computer image yes? Or is this an actual 3D prop you can swing around?
Wicked design, very classy! Thumbs up!
Cool gunblade! But does that cyan snail-like trinket fit? I think maybe by representing an ocean like the handle.
Its a commission according to an already set design, not my own
I really love those word/guns. this one is awesome and very detailed. you did an amazing job on the colors and effects. awesome work!
Тупее этого я ничего не видел...
That looks amazing!
Flagged as Spam
took me a moment to realize it was a painting. good job
Damn! I didn't know you could make cool weapons too! AHHH! YOU ROCK!
Love it! What's that tear on the hilt?
That is so cool.~ o Ao
That is badass!!! =-O

2010 Marillac Clinic Participates Smile-a-Bration
For Immediate Release
Marillac Clinic participates in new Smile-a-bration Program to expand dental care for Mesa County uninsured children Marillac Clinic announced that it will participate in the Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation new iteration of the Smile-a-bration insurance program for children. A collaboration with Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation Smile-a-bration program will enable Marillac to offer this new program to provide additional preventive dental care and treatment to more low income and uninsured children. The program allows eligible children up to $1,000 of dental care with no copay. The Foundation allocated a limited number of slots to see children at Marillac Clinic.
Smile-a-bration is a dental insurance program for children 18 years of age and younger from families with low-middle income. Benefits of this program include preventive and diagnostic services, basic restorative services, oral surgery and endodontics. The maximum benefit is $1,000 per person for 12 months or until the $1,000 is expended, whichever happens first. There is no copay requirement. There is an enrollment process, the patient/family must meet the eligibility guidelines of Marillac Clinic.
Now Marillac will expand its existing outreach to uninsured children in the community who would not otherwise be able to afford a visit to the dentist and schedule them for treatment throughout the year.
"We are proud to partner with Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation on this important program," said Kristy Schmidt, Director of Community and Consumer Relations, of Marillac Clinic. "Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation shares our commitment of preventing dental disease by reaching out to identify and treat those children who simply cannot afford to see a dentist. Some of these children had severe dental problems, having never before seen a dentist. With this funding, we hope this will ease some of the financial burden families face."
Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation is devoted to improving oral health in Colorado by funding projects and initiatives that stress prevention and advance the science and practice of dentistry. It is funded solely by Delta Dental of Colorado, the largest and most experienced dental benefits carrier in the state.
For more information on Marillac Clinic's mission and services in Mesa County visit www.MarillacClinic.org

Cedros & San Benitos Islands
Here is a chance to quickly get to fishing in waters that have been accessible only by taking trips that include days of boat riding coupled with a few days of fishing. Skip the boat ride and the lost days. On this adventure you are fishing in Mexico on the same day you leave the US.
The Islands
Cedros Island, located in the Pacific Ocean 310 miles below the Mexico/US border, is 24 miles long. The San Benitos Islands are a group of three islands about 16 miles west of Cedros. These islands are situated in an unspoiled wilderness where giant yellowtail, white sea bass, black sea bass, grouper, blue fin tuna, and jumbo calico bass swim in abundance.
The town of Cedros has 2,732 inhabitants and features hotel and restaurant, accomodations, a panga fleet, an airline, and other services.
How It Works
Anglers are met in San Ysidro (south of San Diego) by a guide. The cars are parked in a long-term lot with 24-hour security and the group is transported to Ensenada where they board the plane and fly to Cedros.
Fishing starts that afternoon, each day during the trip. For example, on a 4 day / 3 night trip, you will fish for 2 1/2 days.

Email has been with us for long and we're so used to it, nobody expect it to change.
But email marketing is definitely changing.
Today, courtesy of Kissmetrics, we take a look at two aspects of how email marketing is changing: Triggered emails and Mobile email.
What's a "triggered" email?
In case you're not yet familiar with the concept, a "triggered email" is a message that is automated based on an action taken by the subscriber, for example:
- Adding a product to the shopping cart
- Abandoning a shopping cart
- Making a purchase
- Click specific links
Do you have to be mobile?
Do you have to worry about having your emails optimized for mobile delivery?
Absolutely. Let's just put it this way:
- Mobile "Open Rates" are up 40% in the last couple of years
- In mobile, more people delete poorly formatted emails (up 20% from last year)
- And more people unsubscribe (up 9% from last year)
Important: There is an offer for you at the bottom of this post, it's about our new "Email Marketing [not so] 101" Workshop. Don't forget to check it out.

Love this guy.

Leave that to the pros kids.
===== Mine: (#8) 2015 Pure White GLI (was 2010 Golf TDI)
===== His: (#4) 2017 Night Blue GTI (was 2011 JSW TDI)
3 hours later! Washed, waxed, polished, tire shine, rain-x'd the windows.
Want some Talladegas?

^ Shot a iPhone video of my intake before my exhaust goes on today.
Just curios what intake and exhaust model numbers you are using. Also have you seen much of an increase in miles per gallon?
I'm still waiting on actaul bolt on intakes before I go that direction.
I've only owned the car for 7 days so no MPG reports, but on my Golf 2.5L I gained 1-2 mpg and better throttle response.
From what I've read the Neuspeed intake will work, but you need to relocate the PS reservoir.
Quick question. The selling price of $17,000. That looks like a pretty good deal.
Did the final selling price reflect any difference with the trade of the GTI or down payment? What was the original sticker price on the car?
The sale price was the sale price, no trade-in, downpayment, none of those sales tricks.
I hate, hate dealers that do that!!! We will sell you this for XXXXX, oh wow that is a good price! You read through the sale order and you see price including 20% downpayment, no tax, fees, blah, blah.
Sad news, well kind of. Shop had to cancel on me for my exhaust install. So no exhaust this weekend.
Tx, appreciate the info. Think I'll wait for a specific fit intake and exhaust.
Def like the sound of yours. Good luck!
