Surely you have seen Facebook ads on the right side of many areas in Facebook.
Surely you have seen Facebook ads on the right side of many areas in Facebook: your homepage, events, pages, and now even your own Timeline. If you have ever noticed that these ads seem particularly relevant to your geographic area or interests, it is because of the targeting features in Facebook ads. The ads shown here appeared for me in Facebook. The top ad is a local college for my area and the second ad may be targeting gardening keywords in my profile.

Facebook ad pricing works on an auction system (just like Google ads if you have tried your hand at those). You place a bid to tell Facebook how much you are willing to pay per click (CPC), or per thousand people who will potentially see your ad (CPM). Your actual cost will depend on how many other people are bidding for the same demographics or keywords. You will typically pay less than your bidding price but Facebook can charge you any price up to your bid to show your ad.
how to Create epic Facebook Ads
Another issue with targeting ads through the Interests keywords in Facebook is that people may not put those interests in their profile. Many users don't fill out all the Interests category completely and the keywords will have to come from the pages they have "liked." To see your own "likes" and interests as an example, go to your Timeline and click the "likes" box that appears below your Timeline cover photo (hint: you may have to click the arrow on the right side of the page).
A key difference in Google Ads vs. Facebook Ads is that with Google you are bidding on keywords people are actually searching for.
With Facebook ads, you bid on "likes" and interests in people's profiles. The people who have those keywords in their profiles may not need your product or service at this time. You must craft your ad to appeal to your target market and get them to "like" your page or opt in to your email list so that when they need your product or service, you are the one that they turn to. In other words, try to develop a long-term relationship with them that could potentially result in a purchase. Facebook ads can link to an external page on your website as well as your Facebook company page. Think about sending them to the best converting pages within your website to maximize the return on your Facebook ads. Share This Ebook!

Within Facebook, you can advertise an external website or something within Facebook, such as a page, event, place or an application. Facebook also has a feature called "Sponsored Stories" that enables you to advertise an individual activity, such as a post on your page, someone checking into your place or "liking" your page. We'll dive into each of these options. To follow along with the screenshots shown, log into your Facebook account and go to http://www.facebook.com/ads/create/.

Advertising Your Website In general, advertising your Facebook Page, rather than an external site, is the best way to use Facebook ads. But in some instances, like directing someone to a specific sales page or an email opt-in page, an external site can be beneficial. When you advertise an external website, you will need to select External URL from the dropdown menu under the Design Your Ad section.
In the ad below, the Zappos website is shown (indicating where it will be sending you

Engagement ads don't send people to external sites, but to other Facebook pages.
how to Create epic Facebook Ads
When a Facebook user "likes" your company from the ad, this is considered a click and Facebook will charge accordingly. By creating a compelling ad, you may be able to convert someone to a fan or an event attendee right from the ad itself. If someone clicks anywhere else on the ad, they will be taken to your fan page or event page and they may decide not to "like" you or come to your event.
When you advertise something within Facebook, you will automatically create an "engagement ad," an ad that people can interact with directly. They can "like" your page or RSVP to an event without having to go to the page or event itself. Here are two examples of this method:
Engagement "Like" Ad
Engagement Event Ad
Advertising your Facebook Page is one of the best things you can advertise.
Advertising your Facebook Page is one of the best things you can advertise because you know that the person who clicks on your ad is active on Facebook and is in your target market. Notice that Verizon ad shown on the previous page advertises the company's Facebook Page rather than its corporate website where you can buy their products. Verizon knows that getting the Facebook connection is more important so that they can engage with the potential customer over and over on Facebook through their posts. Share This Ebook!

U In the age of the social web, social proof is the new marketing. - Aileen Lee, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
When you are setting up the ad, make sure you keep the box next to "People liking your page" and "People checking into your location" checked. In that way you will get the benefit of "social proof." When somebody "likes" your page, their friends who also fall under your target marketing, will see that. The fan's name showing in your ad increases the chances of attracting new "likes." These sponsored stories will appear as they do on the right preview screen, in the friends of your fans' timelines. The social reach of your ads can be almost as much as the reach you are actually paying for!

If you decide to use the external URL option to promote your Facebook Page, remember that people cannot "like" your page directly from the ad itself. They will have to visit your page in order to take that action. These clicks from ads promoting external content will cost you money, so make sure the message on your Facebook company page is clear!

Facebook ad Split-testing Explained
how to Create epic Facebook Ads
It's tough to nail down a successful strategy unless you do some testing.
While in this ebook we share some marketing best practices for advertising on Facebook, it's tough to nail down a successful strategy unless you do some testing. Your target audience will differ from the Facebook communities other companies are focused on. That means you will need to take the insights you have collected about your market and experiment with your messaging on Facebook. In this chapter, we'll cover how you can get started with split-testing. In the Facebook Ads Manager, you arrange your ads into campaigns. A campaign is a group of similar ads with the same purpose, but with slight variations. To optimize your Facebook ads and get the best return on your investment, you must split-test your ads.

If you are advertising your Facebook Page or event, the image will be automatically populated with the profile image. You can change it but you may want to keep it consistent for branding.

Who Should You target?
how to Create epic Facebook Ads
You won't get a lot of clicks with a very narrow target.
Targeting will determine the price for your ad as well as who is eligible to see your ad, shown in the Estimated Reach box on the right. As you narrow your audience with the targeting, the Estimated Reach will be updated. I don't recommend narrowing your target below 20,000 (unless you have a special circumstance) because you are rewarded by Facebook with cheaper clicks when you get more clicks on your ad.

Pages or interests around the term "yoga" and by selecting #Yoga, you are including all of them so you don't have to individually select each one.
Age You can choose a range or no upper bound. Facebook gives you the option to require an exact match within an age range if you select the Require Exact Age Match box. This means that if a user turned 51 yesterday, that user will not be shown the ad for which you selected the age range of 25 to 50. It's better not to require an exact match because Facebook will give you a "discounted bid" when people slightly outside the selected range click on your ad (although Facebook does not provide an exact idea of "slightly" and it doesn't specify its definition of "discounted bid").

the Science of bidding
how to Create epic Facebook Ads
Ads are bid on a cost per click (CPC) or cost per thousand impressions (CPM) basis.
The amount you bid on each ad translates to the amount you're willing to spend per click (CPC) or thousand impressions (CPM). Once you have set up your ad, you will need to set the campaign, pricing, and scheduling.
When you create your first ad, you will have to set up your account with your credit card, your campaign name, and schedule. After your first ad is created and first campaign is named, any ads you create will default to be included in that first campaign. But you can select the Create A New Campaign link to create the structure discussed in the split-testing section. Share This Ebook!

to "Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPC)," and is automatically adjusted by Facebook for optimal impressions. It's recommended that you start all ads with a CPC bid. Since the clickthrough rate is lower on Facebook ads, you may end up paying more for a CPM campaign than a CPC campaign. Paying for impressions, which looks cheaper in the bidding process, may end up costing you more than getting the same number of clicks.
Also, CPC ads may get higher clickthrough rates because they are placed above CPM ads. This is not confirmed by Facebook, but several tests have shown that the same ad when bid with the CPC model will be placed higher than the identical ad using the CPM model. A higher placement will naturally get a higher CTR. You can create your own schedule for your ads to run. You can have the ads

Always start your ad at the suggested bid or even higher. The first part of your campaign is critical to determining your CTR and the success of your ad. If you bid below the suggested bid range, your ad may not be shown at all. You can try bidding a little less to save some money, but the best way to get cheaper clicks is to have an ad that gets a lot of clicks. Make sure your bid price isn't higher than half of your daily limit. So you can't have a bid price of 75 cents if your daily limit is $1.
The best way to get cheaper clicks is to have an ad that gets a lot of clicks, so optimize your ads!

You can't just decrease your bid because you will notice that your ad is not being displayed.
Of course, you want to get the cheapest click available. But how do you accomplish that? You can't just decrease your bid because you will notice that your ad is not being displayed. Or maybe it's being displayed a few times at 3 in the morning. There is no one magic bullet or ninja trick that will dramatically lower your click price. Mostly, it's a series of small tweaks that will help you get the best bang for your buck. First and foremost, start split-testing and find your best performing ad. As mentioned earlier, Facebook rewards ads that are performing well with cheaper clicks. Facebook is interested in displaying the ads that their audience is clicking on the most. So CTR is a key component of your monitoring.
Watch your ad impressions as your ad is being shown. If your impressions are going up, the suggested bid price window may have gone up and you may have to adjust your bid.

You can also try creeping your bid price down as Facebook gives you better click prices. This technique does not always work as well as it does in other places like Google.

A gravel truck was the cause of a three-car accident on US-23 in Milan, Mich., on Friday afternoon, July 7, 2017, Fox 2 reports. The truck driver, 60-year-old Kenneth Woody, who was pulling two gravel trailers, hit two vehicles and left three others injured before overturning. Woody was in critical condition and was transported via Survival Flight to the University of Michigan Hospital.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office told the news agency that the crash occurred when Woody, who was headed north, struck a disabled flatbed trailer on the right shoulder of the road. Luckily, the driver pulling the flatbed trailer was not in his vehicle at the time of the crash. When the gravel truck driver veered his truck back onto the highway, he sideswiped a third vehicle, sending it into the median. The gravel truck then jackknifed and overturned, spilling gravel onto the median.
Northbound US-23 remained closed after the crash to allow for clean up. The crash is under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Traffic Services Division. [related-post id="54540″/

U.S. Has High Hopes for N.Y. Marathon
Saturday, November 4, 2006
She usually channels her adrenaline, but tomorrow Deena Kastor will try hard to ignore it. At the starting line for the New York City Marathon, she'll close her eyes. She'll ignore the massive crowd, the 37,000 other runners and the helicopters flying overhead.
Kastor knows all too well that the New York starting line is distance running's most exhilarating environment, which makes it the most dangerous. Two years ago, in the biggest disappointment of her career, Kastor feasted on that energy, started her race too fast and then dropped out, exhausted, 10 miles short of the finish line. "I couldn't stay calm," Kastor said. "You have to stay composed under the pressure."
That challenge is daunting for Kastor this year. After setting an American record at the London Marathon in April and winning a bronze medal in the 2004 Olympics, Kastor enters New York as a heavy favorite. She can become the first American woman to win in New York since 1977, which has made her the public face of this marathon. Her picture is featured in advertisements that decorate buses and subway stations in New York.
Kastor, 33, is the centerpiece of an event that could become a landmark race for distance running in the United States. American Meb Keflezighi, 31, returns to New York after placing second and third the last two years. He hopes to overcome a sore hamstring and become the first American man to win the marathon since 1982.
"This year's race is shaping up to be the best ever for Americans," race director Mary Wittenberg said. "Deena is the best American our sport has ever seen in the marathon. She's already been the leading force in the revival of American distance running in the last six years. Now she has a chance to take that to a whole new level."
Kastor said that New York has been her "obsession" since she returned from her record-setting race in London, where she became the first American woman to run a marathon in less than 2 hours, 20 minutes. She has spent the last six months training, sometimes with Keflezighi, in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., at an elevation of about 8,000 feet. Kastor ran about 135 miles each week in preparation for New York, and often felt fresh in spite of that. "The training has almost been too perfect," she said.
It's a stark contrast to how Kastor felt when she arrived in New York before the 2004 marathon, which she ran less than 80 days after her bronze-medal race in Athens. That year, Kastor truncated her training program and tried to recover from one marathon while preparing for another. The disastrous result in New York -- a fast, 10-mile start that devolved into a slow jog and then a sudden stop -- haunted Kastor for months.
To earn redemption, Kastor will have to overcome a solid field of runners attracted by the largest purse ever in marathon running, about $700,000. Kastor committed to run the New York Marathon very early this season and, as she watched other elite runners sign up, she said she thought, "Uh-oh, I really am going to have to train a lot harder."
Defending champion Jelena Prokopcuka, 2006 Boston Marathon winner Rita Jeptoo and 2004 Olympic silver medalist Catherine Ndereba could all finish ahead of Kastor if she runs an imperfect race.
Keflezighi, the silver medalist in the 2004 Olympics, will have to overcome an even stronger field, one that he has compared to the marathon dream team. Keflezighi will run against record holder Paul Tergat, former New York champion Hendrick Ramaala and 2004 Olympic gold medalist Stefano Baldini.
"Both [Meb and I] have the potential to win if everything goes right," Kastor said. "But nobody said it was going to be easy. If it was, an American probably would have won long before now."

This is exactly probably the most vital action. In the event that you fail at this stage, you might end up getting the entire procedure wrong. Ideally, you really need to speak to your common physician and request him or her to provide you with contact details of a reliable and experienced professional. Make sure the specialist you decide on has actually an excellent background features at the least ten years of knowledge to brag. If possible, speak to patients treated by that each.
Once you discover a specialist to carry from the weight-loss surgery, arrange an appointment with them. On your visit to the physician`s chamber, you will want to discuss facets like your health targets, benefits associated with the process, their threats, and various other possibilities you have with him or her. Additionally, don`t forget to ask the person to see you regarding the expenses you will need to keep.
If you`re pleased with the conversation you had actually during your visit to the specialist`s chamber, guide the operation date. It would be a good idea, in the event that you stick to the surgeon`s information whenever choosing the go out. This is because they will suggest the big date based on your health status.
To learn about lipolasers therapy, please go to the website lipo laser (medium.com)
Non unpleasant laser lipo is easy when it comes to how it works. Fundamentally laser diodes produce light at a certain volume that stimulates unwanted fat tissues as well as shed their particular cohesion. Unwanted fat leaks out and it is passed away out from the human anatomy via the lymphatic system. A program of 8 remedies is able to see a massive lowering of difficult to move greasy locations. The professional merely attached special shields on the area are treated and simply leaves the equipment to accomplish its work.
Laser lipo is actually a somewhat new technology. This procedure is a kind of liposuction where the surplus excessive fat is taken away through the human anatomy utilizing laser beams. The laser beams are acclimatized to liquefy the oily cells inside the body. After liquefaction, these cells leave your body through regular kcalorie burning on the body.
Laser lipo is also referred to as Smart Lipo or Laser Liposuction. This technique is different from normal liposuction method as it has no need for any incisions on the body. This procedure is usually completed when the patient is actually awake without the local anesthetic. This saves a lot of cash which would have gone on anesthesia. This is certainly a primary reason the reason why laser liposuction is actually less expensive than typical liposuction procedure.

|We Make Connecticut Happen
Standing Up for Public Services
Local 1186 President Michael Thompson talks with Common Council Assistant Majority Leader Tonilynn Collins.
Darlene O'Neal and her sons urge the Common Council not to cut services.
At a May 17 budget hearing, Darlene O'Neal, a single mother of triplets, talked about how much the staff and programs at the Parks and Recreation Department have meant to her family.
The village to which O'Neal referred is actually multiple villages of departments and agencies with city employees who are proud of their service to the public.
"I'm a New Britain resident. I've lived here my whole life. I have a passion for the city," said Sue Egan, a groundskeeper with the Parks Department. "When I turn around and a job's accomplished, I feel good about it. It shows in the beauty of the parks and the city."
"Parks and recreation, in addition to education and libraries, are needed to make a great community," Kirby said at the budget hearing.
Chris Polkowski grew up in New Britain, attended public school here and graduated from Central Connecticut State University. He now works for the city as a civil engineer.

Access: Zika and microcephaly: things to…, in reply to
I hope it was clear that I thought the conspiracy theory to be nonsense, and an illustration of the loose thinking that goes on when medical mysteries abound.
Access: Zika and microcephaly: things to…,
They give it in 3rd trimester because that's when most antibodies are passed over, not because it's less safe at other times. The protection fades if you give it too early.
Has anyone properly considered the possibility of reverse vampires? I bet they won't release that data.
Polity: Leaving only footprints,
It was called freedom walking nearly 25 years ago when I walked the Milford Track and stayed in the DoC huts. Coldest and wettest I have ever been. Flaked potatoes for dinner. Sandfly bites and wet wool and playing cards with strangers. That's tramping.
Access: Zika and microcephaly: things to…,
Another conspiracy theory doing the rounds is blaming microcephaly on maternal immunistation. Which somehow is only a problem in countries experiencing a Zika outbreak. This is why we have science - so that we can tell the difference between things that confirm our beliefs and things that are true.
Polity: Leaving only footprints, in reply to
Walking the Tongariro Crossing with a line of literally hundreds of people stretching into the distance
I've done that. I've seen Lambton Quay with fewer people on it. It wasn't so much the numbers that bugged me (I've done a lot of busy Great Walks), it was the clueless gear. Skirts and cowboy hats. Shoulder bags. Open toed sandals on a scree slope. That's not tramping.
Polity: Leaving only footprints, in reply to
Sadly almost the entire course programme was killed off very recently
At first I thought that must have been one hell of a bad tramping accident, then I read it properly.
I've never tried hiking overseas - the absence of large predators and small poisonous things has a lot going for it. Here, it's just the weather and the terrain to worry about.
Hard News: Helen Kelly's letter,
Perhaps he could, but it would create other problems. Perhaps another drug would drop off the affordable list. Perhaps it would incentivise more drug companies to run campaigns that their drug be funded by political fiat rather than considered policy.
I'm shaking my head a bit at the talk of Big Pharma blocking this and that, when what people are basically arguing at the same time is that the government should change its policy in such a way that would enable certain pharmaceutical companies to sell more products. It's not a consistent argument.
Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to
misogynistic lyrics becoming mainstream
You do recall the Beatles sang about burning a woman's apartment down because she invited the narrator home and sent him to bed in the bath rather than with her? Or Sting's "Every Move You Make"? Or Brown Sugar? Angel in the Centerfold? Dadrock is full of misogyny and you don't even notice it, it's just part of the wallpaper.
If we think the PM should front up at Waitangi and take a bit of argy bargy on the chin, then maybe we could put up with a little argy bargy on this issue too.
Polity: This is Why, This is Why I Fight,
Me too. I remember Rob from varsity (I was one of the quiet ones a couple of degrees of friendship away, reading my textbook in the Kirk foyer before POLS 101) and it's a hell of a thing to read about relatively close to your own circles. I have young daughters too, and my heart goes out to your family.
I remember the story Maggie Barry told about being assaulted by Rolf Harris during an interview. Didn't get called out at the time; only years after. I remember the talk about young groupies in the 70s that broke out after David Bowie's death. Things have changed - we're more able and willing to call it out now. It's depressing and disheartening to see our friends and idols' clay feet, and depressing to think of how slow progress is, but maybe this will serve as the kind of consciousness raising that was so important to second wave feminism.

I just got off the phone with Karen Mazurkiewicz and Christopher Jeffords at Intel. What an interview. It was much more layed back than I expected. The one time I stumbled out of nervousness Karen came in and saved me. Better still, Chris is an Alumni of the University of Michigan, and both said they've had nothing but good experience with people from U-M. Huzzah!
I was told that 3 people are being interviewed, and while Karen and Chris rank the candidates they like, the ultimate decision lies with the HR department. I should know in the next few days… Wish me luck.
What a day. Now I've got to pack to get ready to go back to school.
August 28, 2004
Wednesday was my last day at MDP. It was sad to see it go. It was a great job. Carol (one of my great co-workers) baked me the above cake.
My boss at MDP has taken a very laissez faire approach to managing the company, and so, on Tuesday, with only one day remaining, we had our first meeting. It was essentially the first time he'd inquired as to my progress. Until then, if I had done nothing in the 3.5 months I worked there, there would have been no one to complain. Shocking.
In fact, it was a great meeting. He asked a lot of questions, the majority of which I had answers to. Once we had gone over the first few scripts line-by-line, when it seemed the meeting was over, he announced that he was so pleased with my performance (of which as I stated he had never actually checked to the best of my knowledge), that he was presenting me a rather sizeable bonus. Not only was this completely unexpected, and unnecessary on his part, but I later learned that this was the first time he'd felt compelled to do such a thing. It really put me at a loss for words.
I suppose that would be enough to make this a good week, despite the bittersweet conge from my summer job. Today, however, I was treated to another surprise.
A few weeks back, I received an e-mail from an undergraduate advisor for the EECS department at U-M. It was a forwarded job opportunity, one of which everyone declared in an EECS major receives on a regular basis. What caught my eye in this specific proposal was its origin: Intel.
The requirements in the description were pretty minimal: Sophemore or Junior standing, a GPA of 3.0 or above, U.S. Citizen or permenant resident, and a listing of courses and skills on your resume. No big deal there. So I updated my resume, and after sending it to the wrong person, finally got it out Monday. Wednesday, the liason told me the resume had been forwarded to Intel. Today, at 2:26 PM EST, I received a message on my answering machine. Intel had called and wanted to make sure I was free for a position this Fall. I eventually calmed down enough to call the woman back. She told me she was a Software Engineer by trade, but helped with the technical side of marketing. Apparantly, Intel finds it necessary to create what sounded like elaborate tech-demos for potential clients to try to lure them to their architecture, as if Intel's architecture wasn't already the de-facto standard. Regardless, she said that they'd only received 20-odd resumes, 4-5 of which received a call back, and 2-3 of which were being interviewed. She set up a time for my interview on Monday. I will probably know if I've gotten the job by midweek next week!
Its really hard to grip the situation as it currently stands. Yesterday, my only worry was moving back to Ann Arbor on Tuesday. Now, I've got an interview on Monday, I may find out I have a job Wednesday, and I may have to make some rather severe changes to my plans for the next few months.
What a week.

Secrets, Rights, and DMCA
My view of the outside world.
I fear for the future. I try not to be overly paranoid, but as far as I can tell, our rights are being no less than systematically taken away from us. In 1998, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) was passed. Through its broad and sweeping language, the DMCA virtually does away with fair use as pertaining to the digital world. 2001 brought us the USA Patriot Act. This delightful piece of legislation, printed and rushed through congress in the middle of the night, that allows anyone deemed a terrorist to be stripped entirely of his/her rights and held for an indefinite amount of time without being charged. In June of this year, the Supreme Court ruled in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of the state of Nevada (pdf). This ruling removes what many interpreted as our right to remain silent. As of now, if the police ask you questions or for ID, and you refuse to answer, you can be prosecuted. If this doesn't seem bad, read about the case that was involved. It doesn't stop there though. Presently, 5 journalists are being held in contempt of court for refusing to identify their sources, who had demanded anonymity. Also, when a former employee of Sun Microsystems inquired as to why he was required to display ID to travel on an airline, he was told that the law was secret and that he couldn't read it. When does it end?
We're in real trouble with the government taking our rights away on one front, and becoming more furtive on another. No good will come of it.
I'm about to enter my last week of vacation. While I look forward to getting back to Ann Arbor and away from my home town and my job, I grow increasingly apprehensive about class and my apartment. I'm sure my worries are mostly unfounded, but it fills my thoughts. I've still got to figure out how I'm going to coordinate the move.
At lunch today, I found myself staring at a man near the back of the restaurant I was in. After a minute or so of telling myself I was crazy, I was certain I was looking at the professor of the dual enrollment western civ class I took senior year of high school, one Mr. Laabs. It was one of the better classes I'd had to date, as after the first few weeks, all but 6 students had dropped out, not to mention that the professor wasn't a high school teacher, and didn't teach like one. Its been the most personal education experience I've had, and I got to find out what a difference a small class size can make. Without essentially studying at all, I managed to retain more knowledge from that class than most likely any other history class I've had, and I had a good time doing it. It didn't hurt that Mr. Laabs had a thing for math (he was originally a math major) and chemistry (one day he brought in a jug of liquid nitrogen that he let us play with the entire class period), not to mention that he was a nice guy (he bought us all pizza on the last day before the exam). Apparantly he's stopped teaching for awhile to be home with his kids. Too bad. It was nice, if strange, seeing him though.

Alan 'Hypocrite' Keyes
Alan Keyes is running against Barack Obama for the Illinois senate. Alan Keyes is from Maryland. Theres no law against running for the senate in a state you don't live in, but I wonder what Alan Keyes' stance on that subject it? Oh, heres something Keyes said on Fox News in 2000:
"And I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton�s willingness to go into a state she doesn�t even live in and pretend to represent people there. So I certainly wouldn�t imitate it."
I always knew Fox News would be good for something.
How long does it take your skin to fuse to a sofa? Six years.
An author named Jim Munroe is posting his novel An Opening Act of Unspeakable Evil (great name isn't it?) day by day for 88 days to this site. Its at least vaguely interesting so far.
DAMN it needs to be Friday already…
August 10, 2004
Its been awhile, so heres a picture of my pet piranha. His name is Nixon. He is not a cannibal.
The summer is almost over, and its a damn good thing. My job has become nearly too repetative to bear. 90% of the code I can write in my sleep, and the rest is so cryptic and impossible to discern that I have to ask someone else what it means anyways. The only happy middle-ground was the one program I had to design myself, instead of re-writing, but even that program was frustratingly technical (what should one expect from medical billing software?).
My town resists change better than China. Unless you're willing to stand by the skate park dealing drugs, or aimlessly wander the streets, there is next to nothing to do, which brings me to my next point. I find the vast majority of the people in this town loathesome. Life in such close proximity to such distasteful creatures invariably makes me horribly anti-social and cynical. I do hope Ann Arbor ameliorates this.
Theres a chance Blueberry Festival may help.
I leave at the end of the month. I can never go home again. I hope I can't shop there.
No less than 3 of my friends from home have become hopelessly engaged in the promised fortunes of the pyramid scam known as Team of Destiny. I find it deeply disturbing that the promises of easy wealth so easily close the minds of such intelligent people. One of the victims of whom I speak is a Business major at U-M for god's sake! How can they be taken by this? Sure, someone gets rich off the plan: the people who started it. I'm sorry, but selling packs of overpriced toilet paper that has to be shipped to your friends is not going to make you a millionaire. All the tapes, lectures, and motivational speaking in the world will not change this.
Few things are as beautiful as white flowers reflecting the headlight of my motorcycle on a country road under a clear, august, night sky. Its more than just a sight, its an experience.
Update: Apparantly Barbi is a better name for a piranha. Who knew?

Isn't there a law against this?
I've become the target of character assassination.
I created the alias MrWonton years upon years ago, and at the time, I was the only one. At the time ICQ (I still remember my number, 6686654) reigned supreme in the IM world. Then came AOL Instant Messenger. It took me a long time to make the switch, but I finally did, only to discover, to my horror, that someone else had taken the name MrWonton. Oh well, I just replaced the o's with zeros and wrote it off.
Over the years, more than a few of my friends have at one point accidentally began talking to the other MrWonton on AIM. Without fail, every female who has done this has been hit on, and has come to me to figure out whats going on (this happened to a friend of mine who is a lesbian who was particularly confused). While this has been an annoyance, I took comfort in the fact that, at least according to the most cursory google search, we ran in different circles… that is, until today.
Mostly out of curiosity for where this site would pop up on the web, I searched for my pseudonym on google. After this site and some random /. article I've commented on was something I'd never seen before. Something called "Conservative Punk Forum." From what I'd seen in the past, the other MrWonton was much more securely interested in getting some ass from a random chick on the internet than he was in politics, and I knew I hadn't suddenly become interested in starting flame wars on conservative forums, so naturally my interests were piqued.
What I found was something I hoped would never happen: another MrWonton had entered the world, and he was an annoying 15 year old conservative! Here's a gem from the imposter: "I may be 15 but I know more about politics than the average 50 year old." Oh ho! His modesty overwhelms me. But wait, theres more! Check out this insight: "Teachers will always be mainly Liberals because Democrats are so obsessed with pleasing teacher's unions." Ahhh yes. Of course. I wondered why the teachers were liberals. I should have known that somehow it was due to the democrats' obsession with pleasing teacher unions? Excuse me while I digest the tripe from this obvious doctiloquent.
The possible character assassinating repercussions of this unfortunate name collision almost entice me into switching to an alternate name, and I would had I not developed this site and had so long to grow attached. On the positive side, I probably don't have to worry about him hitting on my friends, as I like to think they can differentiate my occasionally witty banter from his obviously pompous ass-hattery.
Alright, that rant aside, I plan on soon converting the layout of this site into standards compliant CSS. For those of you unfortunate enough to be using Internet Explorer (not that the new layout will necessarily not function relatively correctly for you), I'd recommend making the switch.

Campus Life
IU to roll out CrimsonCard, new official photo ID for all campuses
Feb. 15, 2017
Starting in April, IU students, faculty and staff on all IU campuses will no longer have to fumble for different cards to enter their dorm room, buy a snack on campus or check out a videogame from the library.
The university is replacing many different card systems with a common identity card that will function consistently across all IU campuses. Called CrimsonCard, it will be used for a variety of university services and features, including:
- Secure access to IU buildings and residence halls
- Meal plans
- Campus libraries
- Sports and recreation facilities
- Printing services
- Payment at participating retailers
CrimsonCard distribution will begin in early April to new IU students attending orientation events. From then on, all incoming students, faculty and staff will receive a CrimsonCard at no cost. Current IU cardholders will be able to replace their existing, valid campus cards at their convenience by summer 2018.
More information about CrimsonCard and how you can get your own is available online.
