Journey to $200 a month using Amazon and Adsense
Article in a Glance
Journey to $200 a month using Amazon and Adsense
I decided to do build a niche site that will be earning $200 monthly with Amazon and Adsense, although the main purpose of the site is to sell amazon products. If you recall, I did a niche challenge with some bloggers and it was semi-successful and semi-failure, the reason why it is a failure, is we are yet to hit the first page for our targeted keyword and semi successful because we are ranking in the top 20 to 30. (To make money with your site, you need to be ranking in the top 5 for your targeted keyword).
Anyways, the niche was a public one shared by Tung Tran of cloudincome.com and I felt I need to be creative a little by do my own keyword research. That is exactly what I did. I spend about 2 hours searching for amazon buying keywords and then I came up with keywords that will be easy to rank!
I have been building niche site about a year ago and I have made a few mistakes as well as have a few success- currently one of my niche site is making about $50 monthly from adsense and am looking to add more articles to it and see if it will shoot up to $150/month. I also have authority website making money from adsense and selling my own products and offering my service. Right now I want to show anyone who is procrastinating that if they could just take the time to START today, in 3 months time, they will be reaping the result or learn where they go wrong and then build a better site.
What is the Goal of this project
The goal is a simple one, to make $200 per month with amazon and Adsense for a medium competition keyword that has in total 6k search per month. Like I said above, the keyword looks a little easy to rank for, so I will be doing a minimal SEO on it.
Am going to reach this goal in 2/3 months time, I will report my success and failure here- if I achieve my goal, I will be flipping the site to get more money to build authority site that will making about $100 daily. So I need a lot of money to hire content writer, seo service, etc.
What I have done so far
The total money I will spend on this project is $150 or less.
Here is what I have done so far;
Bought the domain from godaddy with one of the godaddy coupon codes – $2.17
Order for 6 articles of 500 words each – $30
I will publish the articles all in one day and wait for them to get index. After a week, I will order for another set of 6 articles. 70% of the article will be reviewing the products am promoting and the other 30% will be information article regarding the products.
Install wordpress and added all the necessary plugins.
My next goal is to create a twitter, facebook page, google plus account for the site and I have a pinterest board of 6500 real people and the niche is kind of related to women, so I hope I will get traffic from pinterest.com
How I plan to promote the niche site.
I said above that all I will spend on this niche site is just $150 and since about $70 has gone with article and domain name, I have about $80 left, so I will order for SEO service that cost $40. This project is going to be a success and trust me you will see my amazon earning screenshots very soon.
I won't be reviewing the keyword for now as I spend about 2 hours to come up with them, publishing them here will only increase the competition. 😀
I will update this weekly until I have reach my goal.
Now your turn:
Am still learning about niche sites and therefore am open for suggestion from other bloggers who are already successful in building niche sites. Is there something you want to see included in the next update? Please get connected with me via the comment section.
I have made some progress and you would love read my latest update on this journey!

Pittsburgh?s latest Benack has a passion for the trumpet
Thursday evening's concert with veteran guitarist Joe Negri and young trumpeter Benny Benack III has a legacy that dates to the World Series of 1960.
But it is only a slight rival to the musical history of the Benack family. It is a story that Benny Benack Jr. says has its roots in "passion," a single-minded dedication his father had and his son has.
"If you have the drive and the ability, then go 'head, give it a shot," Benack Jr. says he recently told his son. "If you do it for a few years, and it doesn't work out, you're smart, you can do something else."
The young Benack will be showing off his talent Thursday in a concert designed to display how jazz spans generations, from Negri, 85, to Benack, 21. But jazz connects them in another way, too.
Benack's grandfather, the Dixieland cornetist who made his name a near-trademark in Pittsburgh, is best remembered for the song that became the theme for the dramatic 1960 World Series victory over the Yankees: "The Bucs are going all the way, all the way, all the way ..."
That "Beat 'em Bucs" was written by Negri, who was commissioned by an advertising firm to do a song for an Iron City Beer ad campaign. Negri knew of Benack as the kind of player he needed for the hot, Dixieland song, and he recommended him.
"That song," Negri says with a laugh and a sigh. "It was a big hit for Benny, but I didn't get anything from it. I had my fee for the job and that was it."
That bit of history came as a surprise to Sean Jones, the jazz trumpeter who also teaches at Duquesne University. He organized this week's concert with the age span in mind in a series featuring unlikely duos. He wanted to pair Negri, a guitarist "who has been around forever," with Benack III, a trumpeter and singer "who is the new guy."
Jones admits he didn't know anything of the baseball tune.
"They really should play that song," he says with a laugh.
Benack III agrees.
"How can you have a concert with Benny Benack and Joe Negri and not do that?" he says.
The 'passion' some people have
Although Benack III and his father both are professional musicians, they are playing different songs with their music. "Passion" is the reason, Benack Jr. says. His son has it -- and has had it since he was in elementary school -- and he never has.
Benack Jr., 55, grew up in a home surrounded by music and watched his dad live a life dedicated to it. The fabled Benny Benack (1921-86) taught music at Clairton High School and often did that with a full week of gigs at places like the Penn Sheraton Hotel, now the Omni William Penn.
His trumpet and cornet were a well-known sound in area Dixieland and big-band swing, making him an obvious choice for Negri's "Beat 'em Bucs."
But, even though he was consumed by his passion for music, Benack knew -- a person either has it or doesn't.
"He said, 'Music education is life education,' " Benack Jr. says of his father. " 'When you learn music, you learn the discipline that will help you in anything you do the rest of your life.' "
He told Benack Jr. if he was not totally convinced he want to spend his life in music, it would be better to go in a different direction.
"So, I went to Duquesne, studied business and played in all the bands I wanted to," Benack Jr. says.
He earned an MBA at the University of Pittsburgh and now is a vice president for Dollar Bank, Downtown. But he stays busy as a jazz reed player who also plays some trumpet. He adds his talents to projects such as the "Hestia" album of singer-songwriter Heather Knopf.
At one point in his college days, Benack Jr. had the opportunity to go on the road with a version of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He passed it up with no regrets, and has the same feeling about his career decision.
When his son started playing piano at 4 and seemed to be concerned with "chasing the spotlight," Benack Jr. could see the passion his father talked about.
The call of the trumpet
The young Benack says he knew he wanted to make music his life before he started to play trumpet -- at age 8.
"He said, 'You can stop spending your money on piano lessons,'" Benack Jr. says of his son. "'The trumpet speaks to me.'"
Just as Benack Jr. was advised to follow his heart, he told his son the same thing.
Benack III, who is in his third year at the Manhattan School of Music, says he is open to any sort of musical career. That could be life as a Wynton Marsalis-like star, or blending jazz dates with nights in a Broadway pit band, or mixing teaching and performing, as Sean Jones does.
"He's the gold standard," Benack III says, admiring the work Jones is doing at Duquesne and the freedom the university gives him.
He agrees with is father's recollection about his falling in love with the trumpet. It was only natural for him to focus on jazz, he says, because he was surrounded by that genre as he grew up.
The intense exposure to music goes further than that, Benack Jr. says.
Claudia Benack, his ex-wife and Benack III's mother, is a singer who teachers at Carnegie Mellon University. Naturally, before birth, the young Benack was present for all of her performances and her teaching.
Benack Jr. would play his clarinet to his wife's belly. and they could both feel their son react to the sound.
The dedication to music shows in Benack III's work, Jones and Negri say.
"He just keeps getting better and better," Negri says.
That love for the art is a steady fuel that drives Benack III's work.
"For me, the reward is doing what I love," he says. "I just want to be ready when the time comes."

Large-scale analyses of mammalian transcriptomes have identified a significant number of different RNA molecules that are not translated into protein. In fact, the use of new sequencing technologies has identified that most of the genome is transcribed, producing a heterogeneous population of RNAs which do not encode for proteins (ncRNAs). Emerging data suggest that these transcripts influence the development of cardiovascular disease. The best characterized non-coding RNA family is represented by short highly conserved RNA molecules, termed microRNAs (miRNAs), which mediate a process of mRNA silencing through transcript degradation or translational repression. These microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed in cardiovascular tissues and play key roles in many cardiovascular pathologies, such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF). Potential links between other ncRNAs, like long non-coding RNA, and cardiovascular disease are intriguing but the functions of these transcripts are largely unknown. Thus, the functional characterization of ncRNAs is essential to improve the overall understanding of cellular processes involved in cardiovascular diseases in order to define new therapeutic strategies. This review outlines the current knowledge of the different ncRNA classes and summarizes their role in cardiovascular development and disease.
Many studies have recently focused on understanding RNA metabolism and its implication in development and disease processes. Genomic tiling arrays and RNA-Sequencing have showed that the human genome is dynamically transcribed and leads to the production of a complex world of RNA molecules of which only a small fraction is translated into proteins [
Each ncRNA has expression levels that are tissue- or stage-specific. In recent years several methods have been developed to study ncRNA expression. A common approach is Real-time PCR, which is employed mainly to analyze microRNA expression levels but can be used also for studies on long ncRNA [
Although the function of most lncRNAs remains unknown, it has become clear that these molecules are intimately involved in many biological processes. LncRNAs can regulate gene expression programs through a variety of mechanisms, such as epigenetic modifications of DNA, alternative splicing, post-transcriptional gene regulation and mRNA stability and translation [
The vessel wall is composed of endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that play central roles in vascular biology and disease. In fact, these cells can undergo profound changes in phenotype during vascular injury and remodeling; these changes are correlated with pathologies such as atherosclerosis and proliferative thickening of the vessel known as restenosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall and is the major cause of death in western countries [
In endothelial cells (ECs) the action of specific miRNAs is important for vascular signaling and function. Different studies indicate that the major miRNA-regulating enzymes, Dicer and Drosha, are essential for angiogenic functions of endothelial cells [
SMCs within adult animals retain remarkable plasticity and can undergo profound and reversible changes in phenotype, a process referred to as phenotypic switching [
miRNA-143 and -145 are considered the master regulators of contractile phenotype by promoting contractile protein expression [
Similarly to miR-143 and miR-145, a number of additional microRNAs play a role in smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and in vascular disease. In a recent study from our laboratory, we found that miR-133 has a potent inhibitory role on VSMC phenotypic switching. miR-133 specifically suppresses Sp-1 expression
Other miRNAs have been implicated in the phenotypic modulation of SMCs: miR-21, miR-146a, miR-221, and miR-222. Unlike the miR-143/145 cluster and miR-133, these microRNAs were found to be significantly up-regulated after vascular injury [
The formation of a vascular system requires the creation and remodeling of a continuous series of vessels. They are made mainly by endothelial cells, but smooth muscle cells ensure the correct tone and contractility of the vessels necessary for proper blood flow. After birth, VSMCs retain remarkable plasticity; they can switch between a contractile and proliferative phenotype, a characteristic fundamental in vascular development and remodeling. Both these processes are regulated by numerous factors, including microRNAs. miRNAs have been implicated in endothelial cell differentiation and are involved in the regulation of formation of blood vessels during vascular development. Knockout of DICER, the enzyme responsible for the maturation of microRNAs, reduces postnatal angiogenesis in response to several stimuli, such as exogenous VEGF, tumors, limb ischemia, and wound healing [
The first miR shown to be essential for vessel formation and integrity is miR-126. It is a positive regulator of angiogenic signaling in endothelial cells and also of vascular integrity
Several studies have provided compelling evidence that microRNAs play a critical role in the initial specification of vascular smooth muscle cell lineage during development. Indeed, inactivation of Dicer in VSMCs results in late embryonic lethality due to decreased VSMC proliferation and differentiation and due to vascular abnormalities and extensive hemorrhage [
Although the heterogeneous group of lncRNAs play a wide range of roles in cellular function, their characterization pertaining to vascular development and disease is limited to only a few examples. Variation on chromosome 9p21 is associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) [
The heart is the first organ to form during embryo development, a complex process involving many classes of regulatory molecules. Heart uninterrupted contractility and correct function are essential for life; its alterations are associated with numerous diseases, including atherosclerosis and stroke [
Two miRNAs highly expressed in the heart, miR-1 and miR-133, are implicated in the control of cardiac growth, regulating fundamental aspects of heart development
The heart is composed of cells with similar origin that develop divergent patterns of gene expression with numerous transcriptional networks that establish chamber or domain-specific gene expression and function. A precise regulation in time and space of gene expression and protein activity is necessary for a correct cardiac patterning. The most important microRNA in this process is miR-138; it was studied in zebrafish which represents an excellent model to study heart development, despite it having a heart containing a single atrium and ventricle [
Defects in cardiac valves are the most common subtype of cardiovascular malformation and, in adults, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. One gene was found which was involved in the regulation of this process: miR-23. Lagendijk
The possibility that microRNAs might participate in heart disease was first suggested by the discovery of distinctive patterns of microRNA expression in the hearts of normal mice
The first-characterized miRNA involved in inducing hypertrophic growth in the adult heart was miR-195. Adenoviral-mediated over-expression of this microRNA leads to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart dysfunction
Conversely, miR-98/let-7b has been demonstrated to mediate the anti-hypertrophic effect of thioredoxin (Trx1), an ubiquitously expressed antioxidant that inhibits NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancher of activated B cells), Ras and ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1). Trx1 negatively regulates the protein kinase cascade known to stimulate hypertrophy. Particularly, Yang
The most abundantly expressed microRNA in human heart is miR-1; as described before it is clear that it has a key role in the developing heart. After subjecting the heart of mice to increased pressure overload a down-regulation of miR-1 resulting in an increase in cardiac mass and contractile dysfunction was observed [
Cellular and
miR-208a and miR-499 are implicated in the regulation of myosin gene expression and cardiac stress response. They play a redundant role:
Fibroblasts are the most abundant class of non-cardiomyocyte cells in the heart; they produce ECM proteins as well as paracrine factors that can regulate the function of cardiomyocytes. In particular, in response to TGF-β, fibroblasts produce ECM and reduce collagenase production, leading to an excessive matrix accumulation. In this way, a key role is played by miRNAs regulated by TGF-β, a known agonist in the production and deposition of collagens in the heart, which contribute to cardiac hypertrophy. Numerous miRNAs are dysregulated in excessive fibrosis; including miR-29 and miR-21 [
MAPK signaling is also controlled by miR-378. This microRNA is sufficient to repress cardiomyocyte hypertrophy regulating this pathway by targeting four members: MAPK1 itself, IGF-1, GRB2 and KSR1. Ganesan
miRNA are not the only ncRNAs implicated in regulatory processes. Recently another class of ncRNA, long non-coding RNA, so called because they are longer than 200 nt, has aroused much interest in cardiovascular function and disease (
Non coding-RNAs critically affect the main molecular mechanisms involved in cardiovascular development and disease. It is well-established that dysregulation of miRNAs leads to development of vascular as well as cardiac disorders. Moreover, the signaling pathways regulated by miRNAs and miRNAs themselves could be potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, further investigation is necessary to define how the cross-talk between microRNAs and their targets can affect different physiological and pathological pathways in the cardiovascular system. Recently, increasing interest has been aroused by lncRNAs in cardiovascular research. Despite rapid progress in our understanding of lncRNAs, data on their role in cardiovascular patophysiology is still poor. Given that long ncRNAs are associated with several cellular processes, an improved understanding of the functional roles of long non-coding RNA is needed to identify new therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases. For this purpose, it will be interesting to investigate the expression of lncRNA in cardiovascular tissues and subsequently to define the mechanisms in which these molecules are involved.

I will agree with you there. He is the "bad boy" of WSBK in the press' eye.
However, at PI, Sykes was ahead and had the racing line, so I guess Max hit him.
But that's not got anything to do with this thread. At the end, he would not have started race 1 had it restarted. And Had they got a full race in, I believe Sykes would've had to have been the favourite, considering the lead he pulled. I am (OBVIOUSLY) a Sykes supporter, and he has gotten an equally hard time from the press since '09 (Only really getting praise this year)
Max is awesome, I saw him here at Kyalami and he was gr8 to watch, and I actually like the amount of black flags he's had in his carreer (shows he believes in what he does and will ride it out and face the consequences instead of take the ride-through).
We all have our riders/teams we support, and I respect anyone's opinion as long as it has a valid point.

My wife and I have been to this place 3 times in the last 6 weeks. The food was really good. The prices for downtown cannot be beat for the amount of food you get. The only problem we have had is with getting the waitress to refill the water glass. In the 3 visits we made they never refilled the glasses. I will continue to visit this restaurant for the food and hope I can get the waitress to step up the level of service.
I tried the Macintosh during Restaurant Week 2013 and thought everything was really well done. The Orange Ghost and Honey Badger cocktails were inventive without being precious, and the server was professional and enthusiastic. The portion sizes were surprisingly large for a 3/$30 menu. I had a beautiful carrot salad and the seasonal vegetable plate, which was even better the next day.
I really adore the food at this place; it's comforting and unpretentious but there's enough imagination in it to keep things interesting. It's true that the service isn't especially smooth, but it's never detracted from my experiences and the waitstaff is always, at least, pleasant. The vegetable stew is one of my favorite things to eat in Charleston.
Great local spot with amazing beer and wine selections.
We order Park Pizza about 1-2x a month. We would order it more if we weren't trying to watch our spending. That being said, when the pizza arrives to our front door (they deliver to Hanahan folks!) we are always thrilled with the results. My husband always has the same thing every time. He throws together a pizza with jalapenos and bbq pork that he swears is phenom. I usually go with the pizza of the month which never fails to disappoint. The combos there are so good that I rarely go to the regular menu pizzas but when I do, again I am pleased with the variety and flavor combos that most other pizza joints would shy away from. I will say that the Partridge in a Pear Tree (Cheddar, Mozzerlla, Chicken Sausage, Pear Preserves, Sauteed Onions, Dates...sounds crazy, right..crazy good is more like it!) from December's Pizza of the Month is my all-time fave and I cry on Jan 1st not because another year has passed but because I can no longer get that pizza. ( I tried...they don't have the stuff anymore.) In any event, when ordering keep an open mind and branch out from the pepperoni and transcend into Thai , Indian, Crawford or even She-Crab when ordering pizza. You'll be pleasantly surprised and back for more.
We loved the Early Bird Diner before it ever appeared on any Dive show. What I love is how the service and food has stayed the same despite the lines that now plague the sidewalk in the morning. We've come to discover however that Wintertime is a great time to come back to the Bird since the lines are diminished now that tourists have flocked back home. For us the chicken and waffles and Curry Breakfast Eggs are all time faves. Their taters, biscuits and red pepper jelly are also delicious. Its easy to see that love goes into every bite and this stuff truly is made fresh and with some clever twists. We love the specials too when the mood hits, but its hard to steer us away from those mainstays. The special ice cream flavors are so good that we sometimes get ice cream at brunch! And for folks that think the Early Bird opens early...oh my...it does not. Check the weekend times and then head on over. Early Bird is only a name and not a time indicator of when service starts..but when it does, we are always pleased and never disappointed.
Moose's moved to Summerville and we couldn't be happier. We are also happy to see the buffet is still alive and well at Moose's after the move. The pulled pork is moist and full of smoke, and they do a good job of picking out the fat..all of which we love. If you don't smell smoke or see a wood pile, its time to move to another BBQ place. The brisket is also delicious, coming from someone who had a whole lot of brisket in Texas where its an art form. I also see things like Pork Loin that you don't expect but are delighted when offered on a buffet. The cobbler does leave something to be desired but the Banana Pudding hits the mark. Sides aren't the best I've had in town...Home Team has beat them by a mile in that area, but for the price and the drive, we make it regularly from the peninsula and were so thrilled that we don't have to drive to Monck's Corner anymore! Keep up the great work!
First things first: this is a BAR with a menu, a sports bar more specifically. Nothing wrong with that, but I somehow missed that when choosing a meet-up place for my family and parents. And evidently they didn't offer us any of their drugs. Rip-off! ;-) Just kidding.
That being said, the waitress was very friendly, it wasn't loud, it is smoke free (yay, Charleston!) and the food (while slow because we were the only ones eating) was very good and very reasonable. Fish Po' Boy, Lobster Roll, Cheese steak and the Pepperoni Rolls were all super tasty. A definite winner for a casual sports bar.
I've lived here for 15 years and my partner is a native Charlestonian. Despite what the review previous to mine says, locals *do* eat at The Wreck because, for what it is, The Wreck is excellent. It's not FIG or McCrady's, but it is impeccably fresh seafood prepared well and served in an unpretentious environment.
Yeah the owner is a grumpy old man until you get to know him, and nearly all the staff are his relatives. They do their own thing and will not cater to you. That's part of the charm. If it's not your style, don't go. But if you do go, don't bitch about it because you have been warned.
Great specialty burgers prepared with quality beef are the main attraction. The wide and creative selection of toppings makes up for minimal seasoning used in the nice, thick cooked-to-order patties. Table service during a recent luchtime visit was excellent, very attentive, and as an added bonus - extremely attractive. Comfortable interior decor and bar layout with some inviting outside tables for fair weather days. Hand cut fries were a little soggy and only lukewarm, otherwise Pawley's would receive all 5 stars. So many neighborhood bar and grills in Mount Pleasant totally miss the very basics of proper service, good food, cold beer, and a friendly atmosphere, but Pawley's is an example of how things should be done.
My go to brunch location! There are a number of great options for brunch, great sides, great drinks. Always dependable. The service some times isn't fantastic, which is the only thing that keeps me from giving 5-stars. I would always recommend Crave, especially for brunch.
Good, simple food in a diner atmosphere. No frills and has the decor of a late 70's Dennys. But the food is Okay, and interesting menu items, like alligator with grits. If you go on weekend mornings, you will see nothing but locals, lots of handshakes, old blue hairs and the southern church crowd. It is a step back in time.
pretty good food.. excellent service. a bit more pricy than bohio, but i don't mind if its local ingredients.. worth a try!
Despite the negative reviews, my husband and I decided to try this place out. It was good as was the service. We tried the sausage for an appetizer ($8) my husband had the pork belly ($11) and I had their soup special ($8) which was butternut squash with shrimp-I was disappointed that they didn't let me know it would be served cold but it was still good. The menu that day (Friday) had really good looking stuff. We will go back for sure! Oh, and their prices are definitely not expensive for dinner. We had a couple of beers each and I had a glass of wine. With tip our bill was about $50. Oh and Matt Lee (Lee Brothers) was there, wonder what he thought...
Super Delicious! Crispy chicken sandwich a must! Their spring shrimp rolls w/peanut sauce are extreme fresh and yummy! Be sure to quench your thirst w/their teas :) My sandwich was made very mild spice due to Spice Shyness. *Perfect*
Pretty darn good. And they deliver! The sides are inconsistant but the wraps are good. They use some sort of cubed up deli meat as their protiens and at first it can be a little off putting if you're expecting fresher meat but I have grown to like it. The dif kinds of tofu are what I normally go for anyway and they are great.
Could be a little less pricey but I'll deal.
I've been to Bon Banh Mi three times so far. Consistently tasty every time. I prefer the tacos over the sandwich
Just had the Fried Chicken Banh Mi Sandwich for lunch. It was the BEST THING I've eaten this year. $10 for the sandwich + $1 for tax and a cup of water. Pricey, but well worth a visit at least once a month. I didn't like the hummus appetizer.
My wife and I went in for a late supper Saturday night close to ten o'clock, pre-Built to Spill at the Farm, after the Grocery messed up our reservations. We had the foie, the beef tartar, the sweetbreads and the charcuterie. Everything was delicious. Nice to see an old school place still doing well.
Okay, so I don't know pizza like a lot of people on here. I've prob never really turned down any style or make of pizza when offered. but....dang.
This Place is awesome. Give it a try!
So far I've tried a lot of menu items before i thought to write review and not a bad word to say in the bunch.
I think the super philly is right up with the best you can get around town. I'm a big fan of the competitor in summerville..but that is a bit far of a drive for me on a regular basis.
This is a lot closer to almost anywhere in town and yummy.
Oh and definitely try a slice of the Coconut Cake if at all possible!

Krause raises the bar... again. The new 7300 Series Flex-Wing Tandem Disc Harrows are destined to be the benchmark for the highly versatile, medium weight class disc, much like their popular predecessors, the 3950 and 3990 Series. In sizes from 18' to 34', the 7300's offer a wide range of standard and optional equipment choices to match the specific tillage needs of your farm. With a weight per foot of cut at 430 lbs. maximum, the 7300 is tops in it's class. New option choices include walking tandem wheels and hydraulic leveling... productive additions with precision depth control and more stable discing performance the benefit. Choose from standard models with rigid bearing arms or Krause's popular and rugged, Rock-Flex models with flexible C-type bearing arms. All 7300's come equipped with 22" diameter disc blades and a choice of 7 3/4" spacing for optimum seedbed finishing, or 9 1/8" spacing for all around performance and optimum penetration in primary work. And just like the highly successful 3950 and 3990 Series which they replace, the 7300 carries on the 17 degree front and rear gang angle. 17 degree gang angles give the 7300 unmatched performance for residue sizing, soil mixing, herbicide incorporation and field finish while reducing draft and compaction. And it accomplishes all these tasks without the negative performance attributes associated with "shallow concavity" blades as used on some competitive brands. You'll find there's al lot more to the 7300 story... read on to find out how this top performer can boost your farm's productivity. Take a close look at the 7300's frame design... massive 6" x 6" main members impart strength and rigidity. Look across the disc too... you won't find any unsightly wing fold mechanisms to block your view in the field... clean, uncomplicated, strong... all words that describe the new 7300. One-piece center frame rocker shaft eliminates the need for linkages between rockers. Of course Krause's overlapping gang design provides a level field finish, the "trademark" of a Krause disc.
7300 one-piece center frame rocker shaft The 7300's self-leveling hitch features an adjustable leveling link for fore to aft leveling changes. The self-leveling mechanism is spring cushioned for protection . With the combination clevis (see set), you'll always have the correct hitch. With the optional hydraulic leveling you can fine tune front to rear leveling from the tractor cab.
Wing wheels feature a forward action that rotate close to the front gangs for precise depth control and reduced gouging in terraced or rolling conditions. This Krause design advantage limits the need for optional front gauge wheels that are necessary on other bands with wheel placement much farther from the front gang. The model shown is equipped with optional walking tandems on the center and wings.

i'm so scared. any1 have this. do i need to poke myself everyday? have an appt. this week. im so scared i hope baby is ok. =(
i'm so scared. any1 have this. do i need to poke myself everyday? have an appt. this week. im so scared i hope baby is ok. =(
My levels for the one hour test was 201 the cutoff was 130 so I failed miserably. I asked the dr if I could take the 3 hr test
Why are they saying Type 2 while you're pregnant? Were your glucose levels elevated pre-pregnancy? Typically this would just be gestational diabetes, whcih most often resolves post-partum. Have you done the 3 hour test yet, or just the 1 hour?
Married 10/20/2007!!!!
Jack James 12/9/09
Henry Christopher 1/3/13
they just made me an appt with this perinatal person i've been going to and i'm having a detailed ultra sound. never gave me a 3 hr glucose test option
Did you do the 1hr gd test? Usually a fasting over 126 has to have further testing to see if its GD type 2 or type 1. Was an a1c done? This gives a three month average of your bg's. A random bg over 200 indicates type 1 or 2. They can also check for insulin levels, & antibodies that are found in people developing type 1.
i never had myself tested before pregnancy either. this is all new to me
The dr said no but I insisted. Turns out I passed the 3 hr test. My point is try to see if they'll let you take the 3 hr to confirm. Good luck and try not to stress to much.
This would be gestational diabetes not type 2, it is only type 2 if you had it before or if it is a problem after pregnancy.
#1 Korben Alexander 08.03.09 ♥ #2 ^Paxton Lucas^ stillborn @ 39w 06.03.11 ♥ #3 Kira Finley OUR RAINBOW 11.29.12
just asked she said it would be harmful to me and baby =/ to do 3hr test
I failed my 1 hr with a glucose level of 210, they didn't bother with a 3 hr test with a fail that bad. I've already went to my appt. Sticking yourself to check your glucose doesn't hurt if you use the side of your hand. They have me checking mine 4 times a day, when I first get up, 2 hrs after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They will tell you to watch your carbs and suggest what you should eat and should avoid, as well as when to eat. As long as your diet helps keep your glucose levels down both you and baby should be fine and it should go away after you deliver.

Vermont Yankee Questions Tritium Findings
08/18/11 5:50PM By Ross Sneyd
| Download MP3
But as VPR's Ross Sneyd reports, some say the discovery of any tritium in the river is noteworthy.
(Sneyd) For the past year-and-a-half, Entergy Vermont Yankee and the state Health Department have been tracking a plume of water contaminated with tritium.
Various wells drilled on the plant grounds have documented the presence of the radioactive material in groundwater.
But this week was the first time it's been confirmed in the Connecticut River, which flows along the eastern edge of the plant.
State radiological health chief Bill Irwin says the amount found in a July sample is very small.
(Irwin) "The EPA recommended limit for tritium is 20,000 picocuries per liter. The values that we're measuring - 534 and 611 picocuries per liter - are about 30 times less than that, what might be called a safe drinking water level."
(Sneyd) And Irwin emphasizes that no drinking water is taken from the river where the tritium was found.
But Yankee says its own test of the very same sample show lower levels - 499 and 502.
Irwin says the difference is so slight that it might be attributed to slightly different testing methods.
(Irwin) "In the great scheme of things, those numbers are really all very close to each other. And we're talking about counting literally thousands of atoms as we calculate these numbers. So we're really looking at very low concentrations of a substance in a sample."
(Sneyd) Yankee still says there needs to be an explanation for the difference. Larry Smith is a plant spokesman.
(Smith) "We've proposed to the state that we send both our samples and theirs to an independent, third-party laboratory for an additional round of testing. And in addition to that, in an effort to get as much information as possible, related to this issue and to help determine if there are any next steps, we have expedited testing results from our laboratory for water samples taken over the past three weeks."
(Sneyd) For Sandra Levine of the Conservation Law Foundation, the difference between the test results is beside the point.
(Levine) "It's significant in any amount. It's significant because they've claimed that any leaks have been repaired and they haven't. It's significant because they claim any leaks have been cleaned up and they haven't. It shows that Entergy continues to be an irresponsible operator of this facility."
(Sneyd) Levine's group argues that the tritium amounts to pollution, and CLF says Yankee does not have any authority to release pollution into the Connecticut River.
For VPR News, I'm Ross Sneyd.

Richard Serra load in @ Gagosian
They did three load in days w/ this obscenely large crane. At first we thought they loaded them in, and then three days later, loaded them out. We couldn't believe the hubris of Larry Gagosian to spend that much cash on installing those works for three days… so someone could see them? Then we realized they all just looked the same and they were just packing them in. I think there are about nine of these monsters in the space.
Serra's work has always been about cutting off traffic…

Engineering Professor Receives White House Early Career Award
Mung Chiang, a Princeton engineering professor who studies the communications networks integral to modern society, has received a 2007 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from the White House.
Chiang, an associate professor of electrical engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, was one of only sixty-seven scientists who received the awards at a ceremony held at the White House on Dec. 19, 2008.
The annual awards are given to early career engineers and scientists who whose work "shows exceptional promise for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge," according to a statement from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The award is considered the Nation's highest honor for researchers at the beginning of their independent scientific career.
Chiang was recognized for his research on communication networks such as those that serve as the basis of the Internet, broadband access, and the wireless services. The citation for his award noted his "fundamental contributions to optimization, distributed algorithm, and stochastic analysis of communication networks, leadership in the networking research community, and mentorship of undergraduates."
Chiang's work focuses on optimizing the performance and robustness of such networks, allowing them to grow larger and operate faster. Such improvements could lead to far reaching practical outcomes, such as better mobile network services and faster Internet connections. Some of his algorithms have been adopted by communications industry giants such as AT&T and Qualcomm.
His theoretical research on network-related mathematical models and algorithms has also thrust him to the forefront of international efforts to rethink the theory of network design and analysis. "We want to provide practical solutions to individual problems," he said, "but we don't want to stop there. We want to give a new generation of engineers a way to design networks more systematically and rigorously."
Chiang joined the Princeton Engineering faculty in 2003 after receiving his Ph.D. from Stanford University. In 2005, he received the NSF CAREER Award and in 2007, he received a Young Investigator grant from the Office of Naval Research and was named to Technology Review Magazine's TR35, a list of 35 top innovators in the world under the age of 35. Last year, the National Academy of Engineers selected him to attend the Frontiers of Engineering, a symposium that brings together emerging engineering leaders to discuss pioneering technical work and cutting-edge research.

"The shape of Churchill is interesting to a sculptor. You couldn't design a more expressive physical structure---the rock of a body, delicate, sensitive, hands, small feet." William McVey in Edward T. Folliard, The Washington Post, November 30, 1963
Luce Center Label
William McVey made this sculpture of Winston Churchill as a model for a larger bronze statue that was placed in front of the British Embassy in 1966. Churchill leans on a cane, his right hand signaling a V for victory, his left holding a cigar. The striding figure was intended to straddle the line between the British territory of the embassy and the American soil of Washington, symbolizing Churchill's dual citizenship and the ties between Great Britain and the United States.

Whether in your business or personal life, making deals—from the biggest ones that take months to finalize and involve teams of lawyers to the nominal ones that are sealed with a handshake after a 10-minute chat—is an art. Deal-making is a craft that when done well requires a skillful, visionary and inspired application of key principles and methods to create a desirable end result. When you've mastered this art, you will successfully negotiate deals in which all parties involved walk away with a win.
And don't underestimate the small deals, which can help you gain confidence with the process and also nurture other people's confidence in you—and reverence for you. Indeed, it's often the culmination of small deals that lead to the big one. Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Walton didn't start out making headlines. They crawled before they could walk and ultimately made sure they were prepared to win the proverbial race when they approached the starting line of a mammoth business deal.
What are the secrets to masterful deal-making? There are some basic steps to becoming an ace deal-maker—skills that will help bolster your position whether you're negotiating for a railroad or a rental car, and whether you're acting on behalf of a worldwide organization, a sole proprietorship or just your own personal finances.
While you can't know every possible result that the other party would want, be sure to understand what your offer or position can do for him. This means researching all the potential benefits and ways that your idea, product and/or service could help the other party whether it is to solve a problem, increase earning potential or simply make his life or business more convenient and enjoyable. If your argument is lacking some key benefit, then it is up to you to figure out how to adapt it so that it can serve the needs of your target audience while also achieving your own objectives. This takes time, effort, forethought and sometimes research. But it is well worth it when it's clear to the other party that you not only understand his needs, but you also seek to structure an agreement that's in his best interest.
Relationship management is the key to showing the other party who you are as an individual, what you can do, where your values lie and how the deal at hand will benefit everyone involved. You learn about him; he learns about you—it's a two-way street. Both parties must feel that there's synergy—a chemistry of sorts; only then can a mutually beneficial relationship be forged. From there, you present your win-win case, handshakes are offered and agreements are signed. Frequently, deals can close quickly and easily because people have come to know and trust you either directly or by referral, making them comfortable to do business with you. If you create a strong enough brand and a stellar enough reputation, others will want to be part of the success you've amassed. Your opposition will clamor to close the deal with you.

Getting others on board with your plan can be challenging, especially when there are many people involved and/or there is much at stake relative to risk and potential upside. A critical step in artful deal-making is to convey and articulate your vision of the outcome in such a way that the opposing party will desire that very same outcome. The WIIFM—what's in it for me—factor must be made crystal clear to the other party as you present your position. Of course, to do this effectively, you must first understand or predict based on sound preparation what the vision of the other party is likely to be at the onset of negotiations. This way you can appropriately integrate synergistic ideas so that the visions ultimately meld. In addition, vision buy-in will be facilitated if you underscore to the other person that he will still be involved at a conceptual level as the project ensues.
You have to be humble but firm to effectively broker a deal. There's a fine line between the two, particularly when you're dealing with people who have already attained a measure of success. Always respect the positions of the other people involved in your negotiations no matter how badly or not you want the deal. It's important to be fair and honest about the negotiation and to keep your intentions pure. You need to let people know you have the ability and desire to perform the task you're charged with. You also need to showcase with quantifiable examples that you put a 100% effort behind everything you do. At the same time you must express genuine respect and appreciation for the other parties, what they have done and who they are—even if they're, well, jerks. Even a jerk can grow to appreciate, respect and ultimately benefit you, and once that two-way street is established, negotiations can ensue and deals can be made. Humility with backbone—it's a tricky combination to maintain, but one that's absolutely mission critical.
No matter how large or small, almost every deal takes finesse, which is where skill and natural ability meet. This is where you get to have fun and allow your personality to shine. It means being able to explore different angles and try the somewhat weird and wacky—maybe even a bit of the fearless and crazy. It's problem solving with a twist. It's poise and diplomacy. It's art. In the end, when finesse comes into play, the parties genuinely like each other, and all sides look for ways to make sure the deal becomes a reality. For the best wheelers and dealers, finesse comes naturally; they don't even know they're doing it. If you're lucky, it works that way for you as well. If not, develop it, let it flow and have fun trying it. Before you know it, you'll be finessing your deals too.
This is an attitude you implement through finesse; it uses finesse as a tool. If finesse is about problem solving and outside-the-box thinking, then the "swagger" we're talking about is having a commanding and authoritative disposition and demeanor but without pretentiousness or arrogance. It's about knowing how good you are and hinting at what you are capable of but without being a braggadocio. This kind of swagger is a spirited characteristic that you possess and radiate without ever compromising your integrity or sacrificing your general likability. In a deal-making situation, your swagger should exude confidence, success and fearlessness. Hit the right notes with your swagger and you'll walk away with what you want. It's just one more step in perfecting your life-wealth plan.
Master these six steps and you'll be ready for some high-stakes deal-making. Remember, though, that Rome wasn't built in a day, so conquering negotiating skills won't happen that quickly either. Start small before attempting to hit the big leagues. You may have to stumble a few times, but just get back up and go at it again. Along the way, keep both your successes and your failures in perspective, remembering that they are just stepping-stones along your lifetime of deal adventures. Once you've mastered the art, aim high—just like those seemingly crazy and fearless billionaires.

Here are the improvements of the situation: I have reinstalled the whole system from stage3 (in Gentoo terms this means a fully precompiled system, with gcc-3.2.3 using -march=i686 and a bit more conservative optimization settings) and recompiled the same 2.4.22 kernel as above but this time with that stock gcc-3.2.3 shipped with Gentoo 1.4 and voila`: it still exhibits the very same errors! I have to admit that I was a bit surprised about that, I thought it's probably gcc-3.3.2's fault optimizing away some crucial stuff but apparently it's not. Realizing that, I have compiled xfs-sources-2.4.20-r3 (Gentoo kernels are usually a bit patched up from the stock with -ac, EVMS, xfs, etc. but this version works rock solid on two other production servers of mine, with xfs on all filesystems) on the same stable userland, and with this kernel the problem disappeared! It is using the XFS snapshot from 2003.04.07. So, my conclusion is, this problem is somewhere inside the kernel, maybe in the stock codebase, or the other patchsets, but most likely in the XFS part. I hope someone will comment on this really soon, as the time is rolling and this machine must go into production within 2-3 days (and should have been in production yesterday already). Or you can direct me to LKML or gentoo-dev or whatever ML you think is more appropriate to discuss this problem on. Regards, Szabolcs Rumi

FWIW, I'd be a very interested client of well-designed introspection facilities for PLT Scheme. For language experimentations that would be very valuable, at least from my perspective. Macros already give a nice bit of extensibility, but I've hit the lack of introspection on lambdas a couple of times already. Maybe if the PLT team does not want to directly support it in the core, adding necessary hooks (in the Open Implementation line of thought) would be feasible? This would avoid everyone that needs some facilities to implement completely ad-hoc solutions. -- Éric On Apr 18, 2009, at 14:17 , Eli Barzilay wrote: > On Apr 18, Jose A.

Counseling younger individuals
My goals would be to counsel the younger generation and enhance them in the importance of staying to school and furthering their education by attending college after their high school graduation. I am much older than a lot of my peers in class I was born middle 50s, I was a single parent raising four sons. Getting my school in the early 70s and never returned until 2009/10. My journey was not an easy one, yet I am still striving to make it in society. My sons are all grown now and have children of their own. They have jobs and are doing well although they don't the city that I do, but we communicate as much as possible. I'm a full-time student at CSU majoring in business administration, is my third year and my plants to someday open my own business. In doing so my plans are to leave my business with my children and grandchildren. Due to the struggles that me and my sons endured I believe that my goals are to get my bachelor's degree, and open my own business someday in which to leave the business to my sons in which as time goes on, they will be able to pass business on to their children. Nothing comes easy life and I believe that they are more blessings to come. Going back to school, get my GED was one of the greatest accomplishments I have ever achieved. My oldest son was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. This was major setback from my classes and studies, yet I still held on. I have come so far and I presently have 100 credits although I need 120 two received my bachelor's degree. I refuse to let anything stop me, because this is only the beginning of my journey.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Oct. 13)
Syrian representative Abdallah F. El-Khani charged yesterday that the United States Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean was "preparing with the criminal forces of Israel to attack my country. Syria." He charged further that support of Israeli "aggression" by a nation that "puts its imperialist designs above its moral duties" undermines international law and United Nations action. Mr. El-Khani added that the continued Israeli occupation of Arab territories was the world's biggest post-World War II offense, and that there could be no international peace and security "if this cancer is not cured." The Syrian spoke as the General Assembly's First (Political and Security) Committee neared the conclusion of its two-week debate on four draft resolutions and two amendments on the strengthening of international security. The first draft, submitted by the Soviet Union and seven other socialist countries. condemns military occupation and the resisting of "national liberation movements." Mr. El-Khani called for the rights of self-determination, liberation of occupied areas and UN recognition of struggles for independence. He also sought a strengthening of the Security Council to deal with these issues.
Before the Syrian delivered his remarks. Israeli representative Amiel Najar asserted that international security would be strengthened best by eradicating racial and religious discrimination and encouraging development. He urged that the General Assembly be used as a forum for reconciliation, not for propaganda, and said that attacks on Israel would not help the search for peace. Lebanese Ambassador Edouard Ghorra averred that the UN Charter was adequate for the maintenance of global security, but that the major powers were thwarting its implementation by their tolerance of what he called the destructive nature of the Korean war, the Indochina war and Israeli "aggression" in the Middle East. He again called for total Israeli withdrawal from occupied Arab areas. Representative Talib El-Shibib of Iraq said that Mideast security has been "a cruel dream" for too long and threatened to break out into a global war. He charged that the creation of Israel violated the UN Charter because it established what he called an alien and expansionist enclave in the Mideast. Rachid Driss of Tunisia agreed that Israeli withdrawal and Palestinian rights were required for a Mideast peace. He noted that the ceasefire in the Middle East should be encouraged but added that this was not a final solution. The rights of the Palestinian people had to be recognized, Mr. Driss stated, and "they must be associated with any solution."

United Rentals
My first earnings short-squeeze trade idea is industrial equipment and rental player United Rentals (URI), which is set to release numbers on Tuesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect United Rentals to report revenue of $1.33 billion on earnings of $1.47 per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for United Rental is very high at 12.5%. That means that out of the 92.36 million shares in the tradable float, 11.57 million shares are sold short by the bears. If the bulls get the earnings news they're looking for, then shares of URI could easily spike sharply higher post-earnings as the bears rush to cover some of their bets.
From a technical perspective, URI is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last six months, with shares moving higher from its low of $52.39 to its recent high of $82.57 a share. During that uptrend, shares of URI have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of URI within range of triggering a big breakout trade post-earnings.
If you're bullish on URI, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above its 52-week high at $82.57 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.33 million shares. If that breakout hits, then URI will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $95 to $100 a share.
I would simply avoid URI or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then drops back below some key near-term support levels at $77 to $75 a share high volume. If we get that move, then URI will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 50-day moving average of $72.74 a share. Any high-volume move below that level will then give URI a chance to tag $67.50 to $65 a share.

How to Build a Highly Engaged Workforce
Do you want workers who make a positive contribution to your business? Who make customers want to come back, who find new customers and make more sales and profits?
Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn't be in business. But I sometimes wonder if business owners and managers are losing sight of this. You are often so caught up in the day to day running of the business that perhaps you forget just exactly what your business objectives are all about.
The only way you are going to achieve more customers, more sales and more profits, is with highly engaged workers. And I don't just mean those people in sales and customer service; everyone has a role to play. Admin staff, manufacturing, technical services, accounts, delivery – everyone in the organisation.
Gallup defines a highly engaged worker as one who has "heightened emotional connection" with his or her organisation, leading to greater effort in getting the job done.
The only way to develop that emotional connection is for the line manager to communicate with each worker on a human level as well as a business level.
Business level communication is all about what needs to be done and who needs to do it. It's about solving problems, and giving feedback both positive and negative.
Let me give you a personal example of human level communication. I once worked for a manager who was excellent at this.
Stuart was the Director of Sales and I was a Regional Manager with six Sales Engineers. Stuart was my boss, he was located about four hundred miles from me so I didn't see him too often.
However we did have regular contact by phone. He would always open any call on the human level. He would come on the phone with something like – 'Hi Alan, I trust you're well.' He then might say – 'How's Elizabeth, did she get that new job she went after?'
Stuart always seemed to remember these things. We would then have a short conversation about that and then he'd get down to business. Sometimes the business bit wasn't always something I wanted to hear. 'Your sales figures are slipping Alan, what are you doing about it?' Or – 'Your team's reporting is not up to scratch; I want you to do something about it.'
Stuart was no soft touch and his approach was never "touchy-feely". However I always felt that Stuart cared about me as an individual and I would always work well for Stuart. I was highly engaged!
Of course, this doesn't mean to say that every time you speak with a member of your team that you launch into some personal discussion. Opening on a human level can take only a couple of words. And before I give you some examples – you have to be genuine!
Your team will know whether you mean something or not. I think most of us are aware of the importance of tone of voice and body language when we communicate.
So if you say something on the human level to one of your team, make sure you mean it or don't bother saying it. Just in case you're struggling, here are some things you could say.
- What did you think of Florida?
- How did the children (and use their names) enjoy Disney
- I thought your team played really well last night
- I like that tie
- That's a really smart suit
- You're looking well
- I like your new glasses
Bring up things you've remembered, 'Did Dave pass his college exams?' or 'How's your husbands (use his name) new job?'
Many line managers avoid human level communication. They see it either as a waste of time, think it's all too "touchy-feely", or just don't know what to say.
I keep coming back to that Gallup report. If you want highly engaged workers, who find more customers, generate more sales and profits, then you need to make that emotional connection.
