McCann 1
To act with lethal irresponsibility towards one's children
leaving three children alone (7yrs and 3 years each) [sic] in a holiday flat in portugual whilst you swan off to sample a meal - just from the point of view of the well known problems that these holiday flats have with gas / fire safety standards and the number of gassings that have happened this way - let alone the fact one of the children was taken you'd have to be doing a McCann right?
McCann 2
To make money and become a celebrity on the back of a tragedy. Using the newspapers for a purpose and then claiming to be hounded. To expose ones children/pet to dangers and then state that you are a good parent/owner. To blame everyone else for your errors for the purpose of 'damage limitation'.
Yeah they got cash coming in from everywhere and they still want more - they are pulling a 'McCann'
Jade Goody was crying on tv faking her sadness, she was trying to pull a 'McCann'
McCann 3
"To mccann" - is a new verb
" I mccanned my glasses" - means that I broke my expensive glasses by mistake, hid them and told everyone that my glasses were stolen from me, and now I suffer because I can't see.
teacher:kitty!where's your homework?
kitty:i'd got pissed and mccann it! source
If I were a person that blogged about these things, I think I might be firing off an email or two.
Because let's face it, they are not fit to be Doctors, not at all.

La Tapatia market's deli counter was my favorite lunch spot when I worked at a nursery nearby. Fast, delicious and muy autentico.
Haven't worked nearbyin many years, nor had a reason to travel that section of Hiway 1 regularly; always in a hurry to get somewhere as I drive by.
This past weekend was Open Studio Tour weekend for South County. I planned a leisurely day stopping at new and old favorite artists' studios. The weather was balmy and beautiful.
After stopping at one studio on Los Berros Rd, I wound down to Valley Rd and turned left to join Hiway 1 just south of Oceano. Past Hyashi's veggie stand where the pumpkins are out in full force, I drove to the corner of Beach (Railroad) and 17th streets, just kitty corner from the packing sheds where the railroad tracks parralel 1.
Not much has changed at the deli, except now there are ladies behind the counter. I checked out the menu and noted they still have their daily specials-Friday is 79 cent tacos! Every day there is something cheap for a working person's lunch! I opted for a carnitas and a lengua taco. While mine were being made, a lady started hand patting corn tortillas and grilling them quickly, slicing them open while steaming hot. I asked how they were used, and she said for gorditos--stuffed with choice of meat, lettuce, onions, salsa etc. Next time. They were fat and fresh!
There are plenty of beer and soft drink selections, and there was some good flan in a case up by the checkout coiunter so I grabbed one on my way out. Just ourtide the market proper, in a sort of vestibule, there is a fellow at a taco-only counter with a glistening rod of pastor and the sign says he also has cabesa. Must try that next time. He also had freshly made churrros.
For 'dessert', I drove a short distance to the intersection of 13th and Farroll Rd in Grover to Panaderia Carmelita #2 for a slice of their heavenly Tres Leches cake. They also make some of the tastiest and freshest pan dulce around. The guys at work really like it when I bring some in to share. They tell me they are the best; I trust their judgement.
All in all a lovely day, and I made it through to dinner with that great lunch from La Tapatia. I highly rec a stop there--if you're traveling though on 101, take the Grand Ave exit in Arroyo Grande and head seaward along Grand to the Chevron station at 13th. Turn left, go to the 6th stop sign at Hiway 1, turn left to Beach and La Tapatia, just past the Melodrama. Que sabrosa!

Husband and wife and long time collaborators G&D (Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins) are set to release their second collaborative album The Lighthouse. Thankfully, I had the honor and the opportunity to listen to this album and pass my thoughts to you.
The Lighthouse provided everything that I have come to expect from the veterans. The album is soulful, rhythmic, eclectic, funky, and best of all, personal. There is music that makes you want to move, and then there is music that moves you. This album falls into the latter category.
The duo has always been a match made in heaven. Both have very unique voices and talents that meld into a musical masterpiece. This album is laden with the "neo-funk" sound that G&D have made a pillar in the Los Angeles music community.
The Lighthouse releases on May 21st on SomeOthaShip Connect.

If you want the job offer, you have to be just a little bit better than everyone else. However, that doesn't mean that you necessarily have to be more qualified, more educated, or even more skilled. Below are 5 tips that will help you beat out everyone else and get the job offer.
- Research the Company
The more you know about the company and the job, the better off you will be. Start with the company website, and then go to Google. Find their mission statement, values, products, marketing strategy, competitors, recent news, plans for growth, and so on--anything you can find to make you more informed about this company.
Then, check out the company's Facebook and LinkedIn page, as well as the social media pages of the executives and managers who currently work there. Social media sites will give you different information about the company, and individual pages will fill you in on things like background and career path of their top execs.
If you haven't done this job before, consider arranging a job shadow to get a better grasp of the day-to-day details.
2. Write a 30-60-90-Day Plan
Use your new knowledge to create a 30/60/90-day plan, which is an outline of what you intend to do your first 3 months on the job. Talking about your plan in the interview will allow you to communicate much more effectively and stand out from all the other candidates. Even if you didn't bring it to the interview (although you absolutely should), your interview answers will be better as a result of creating this plan.
We have templates and coaching for all career levels:
30-60-90-Day Sales Plans for Sales Jobs
30-60-90-Day Action Plans for everyone else (people always ask if these plans are worth it if you're not in sales, but actually they're even more impressive outside of sales jobs)
30-60-90-Day Plan for Managers for any management-level job
30-60-90-Day Plan for Executives for any Director, President, VP, or C-Level position
3. Prepare Your Brag Book
Hopefully, your brag book is something that you regularly update (like your resume). If not, do it now. Not only will this boost your confidence considerably before the interview, if you bring it and show key parts to the interviewer, it acts like another reference for you. It's a very impressive way to add 'evidence' of what you've done.
4. Coach Your References
You should take care to choose great references (see who makes the best references) AND you should give them a heads up that you are about to interview for this job. Tell them about the job, the company, and even remind them of something you did that you think would be helpful to mention. They will appreciate you making this task easier for them.
5. Practice Answering Interview Questions
Practice your answers to as many interview questions as you can. When you deliver them in the interview, you will come across as more confident and self-assured--and, you will be less likely to forget an important point. You can practice in a mirror or with a friend, you can use our interview question and answer video series, or you can even make the investment in a session with an interview coach. Any investment of time or money here will always be worth it, because you will perform at higher levels than you would without it--which makes you more likely to get the offer.

Government school agents contend that sex education leads to responsible human behavior.
Really? Does anyone believe that the Atlanta area assistant principle was caught making whoopy on his desk with a subordinate employee was home schooled?
By Mark Niesse / The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An Atlanta elementary school assistant principal and a co-worker have resigned after recording themselves having sex in his school office.
Carnell Lee, 39, was an assistant principal at Deerwood Academy in southwest Atlanta before stepping down Jan. 9, according to Atlanta Public Schools documents obtained by Channel 2 Action News through an open records request.
The co-worker was a 28-year-old participating in a leadership internship at Deerwood Academy, where she worked as assistant principal for kindergarten through second grade before APS sought to fire her in January. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution isn't naming her because she reported to police that she was a stalking victim, an allegation Lee denies.
The school system says in a charge letter against her that she admitted to engaging in consensual sex on top of Lee's desk, but she wrote in a letter that she was forced into intercourse and intimidated by her superior. She resigned Feb. 7.

Today, the Dames are pleased to present author Cindy Lynn Speer. Hi Cindy and welcome to the Dames of Dialogue. Tell us about your fantasy novel, Unbalanced.
Unbalanced is a murder mystery…and actually the first book I ever wrote. I wanted to see what I could say about vampires and werewolves, and ended up with a story where the main character, Andromeda, must solve a murder that looks like it was committed by werewolves, before the vampires find out and use it to make trouble. It's darker than The Chocolatier's Wife, definitely a bit more horror, but there's still some romance.
Sounds intriguing and fun! Can you share a little bit about what you're working on now or what's coming next?
I've been working on some things – this has been the summer of the short story, I wrote two new short stories in The Chocolatier's Wife world to celebrate the new re-release of that novel, and at the first of the year I'll have a short story collection…so I'm trying to finish off a couple of stories to add to that. The stories touch a lot on fairy tales and fantasy, but there are a few darker stories…even a ghost story…in the mix.
Congratulations on the re-release! The summer of the short story—I love that! Your books are fantasy, with mystery, romance, and myth thrown into the mix. My paranormal romances are all based on Cherokee legends and myths and I know when I first started researching the folklore, I was almost overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of stories I could envision. Do you decide before you start writing which myth to weave into your story or does the plot of the story lead you to the myth?
I can understand this! The sheer volume of what's out there is amazing – folk lore and fairy tales are a rich treasure trove, aren't they? I think what saves me is that my re-told fairy tales all start with a question. "Every Word I Speak" started after I read Charles Perrault's "The Fairys" and I wondered what it would be like to have a diamond or a flower accompany every word you uttered. "But Can You Let Him Go?" was based on the idea that there were so many different versions of the Cinderella story, and I wondered if it was because the Fairy God Mother figure…there always is one…had somehow messed up, and was just going to keep trying until he/she got it right.
Ah, the tried and true writer's penchant for asking "What if?" Amazing how many different places those two simple words can take us. As well as writing, you also garden and sew—just to name a couple of your hobbies—and you fence through the Society for Creative Anachronism. Tell us about your fencing persona, Lady Gabrielle Winter.
Well, the SCA is an educational non-profit, and the ideal – what people who are really embracing the educational side of the society do is they choose a person (not real…you couldn't choose Anne Boleyn, but you could choose a lady of the Tudor court) to…replicate, so to speak. You choose a name from that time, you figure out what they would have worn. I chose Gabrielle because I always loved that name…and it's so much more atmospheric than Cindy Lynn.
I, sadly, do not do this. Well, not much. I study what they would have worn so I can make myself pretty clothes, but mostly I'm in it to learn how to fence as they did pre-1601. I study the old masters of rapier…Capo Ferro, Giganti…and try and figure out how to apply old time fencing methods to gently kill my friends. It's great fun and excellent exercise, and gives wonderful opportunities for camaraderie. I also run a fencing practice once a week, which I love.
It does sound like great fun—and it's another way to let your creative side come out to play. What is a typical writing day like for you?
Writing is squeezed in between work…after work…whenever I can manage it. Typically I write during my lunch break at work, and then I go home, make/eat/clean up dinner, make some tea, have a quick nap if I'm really stressed out, then try and write until I hit the 2,000 word mark…give or take. Some days I just keep going, some days my muse is calling in sick. But I do my best.
Are the characters in the driver's seat when you're writing or do you take control of the wheel and guide them where you want them to go?
I think of it as a democracy more than a dictatorship. The characters know where they want to go, the story knows what happens next, I try and guide it away from the edges of the road when I have to, but mostly, I let them drive. That sense of discovery is what I love about writing the first draft…wondering what is going to happen next is what keeps me writing.
That's a good way to look at it, a democracy rather than a dictatorship. I like to think I do that too, although there are some days when I wish I could claim to be dictator and order my muse beheaded—or maybe just locked up in the dungeon until she cooperates!
Who are your favorite authors, the ones you read when you should be doing something else? Why do they appeal to you?
Neil Gaiman, because I love his way of putting things. Sometimes you'll read a sentence and you'll know that it's Neil Gaiman's. Barbara Hambly, because I adore her characters. Terry Pratchett, because I love his sense of humor…his humor isn't cruel. Lincoln and Childs, because I love their characters and because they know how to reach out and grab you into their books. And so many more…for instance, I've been reading a fencing manual by a gentlemen called Saviolo, and you sort of cock your head and go, "I'm not sure what he said, but dang, he sure said it in a pretty way."
All great authors and a couple of my favorites are on your list. Promotion is a big—and usually the most hated—part of being a writer. Can you share a little bit about how you promote?
I visit blogs (hello!) and I try and keep a Tumblr, Twitter, etc. I'm trying to reach out and touch people, more, partly because I like people. It's one of the reasons why I wanted to be a published author, to share things with people. I've been reading a lot of fan comments for other things, (I mean, Tumblr is practically the Kingdom of Fandom now) and I'm constantly blinking because there's so much joy there…people are so in love and happy with this movie or that book, and I think, "Wow, I'd love to make people that happy." So I'm trying to connect, now. Whether you read my stuff or not, maybe I can give you something.
I haven't gotten to Tumblr—yet!—but I've heard some really great things about it.
How long have you been writing?
Good Lord. Almost 25 years. True, that was unpublished me sitting in the school yard and escaping into my own world…but still.
One of my favorite quotes about writing comes from Anais Nin: I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live. I know that's how I got my start and though I never thought of it before, I guess you can say the same thing about reading.
Who or what has been the biggest influence in your writing career and why?
Neil Gaiman, again, because he's really kind and he loves his fans and he loves books and words. I look at him, and I think, "That's the kind of writer I want to be."
What do you consider the single most satisfying aspect of being a writer?
Usually I say the discovery…I love discovering the words that are inside of me, sometimes there's a really lovely turn of phrase in there, or a surprise, or an adventure, and I savor those, because, being human, I know that there are less good things in my writing, too. After all, no one is perfect! But…today I visited my book's page on Amazon and saw two new reviews, and I saw that I had made people happy. I didn't think, "Yay! Two more five star reviews!" – though that is always a relief, I confess – I thought, "Wow…they really enjoyed my book. For a little while, I made someone's world a little better." And I really love that bit. You can make a complete stranger's life better. You can be someone's good day.
How wonderful! Tell us a little bit about where you live.
My house is half 1860's, half 1990's…it's on an old farm that's more hill than flat spot, in the middle of the country. I have cows on two sides and a tree farm on the other. The road is narrow, and a little winding, and you can see the stars at night quite well, and it's solitary, and quiet, and I'm really fond of it.
Ah, solitary, one of my favorite words. Thanks so much for joining us today, Cindy, and I hope you'll come back and visit the Dames often!

We're all used to hearing birds as we lie in bed. The early morning dawn chorus is a daily treat many of us like to listen to soon after we wake. But do you ever hear birds during the night? I know I do. Quite often, as I drift off to sleep, I can hear the call of a tawny owl.
You might be wondering, if I've only ever heard and never seen our resident hooter, how I know which kind of owl it is. Well, contrary to what you may think, not all owls hoot. The barn owl, for example, makes a screeching sound instead. I've listened to various owl calls on this website and, after a little searching, I'm certain that our nightly visitor is a tawny owl.
Tawny owls are not all that big – about the same size as a pigeon. They are strictly nocturnal, so the chances of you ever seeing one are pretty rare. You are however much more likely to hear them. The 'tuwit-tuwoo' hoot they are famous for is actually a courtship. The female makes the 'tuwit' and the male replies with 'tuwoo'. It's most commonly heard two or three hours after sunset in the autumn and winter. At this time of year tawnies are pairing up, ready for the mating season in February.
The tawny owl's natural habitat is woodland, where it preys upon small mammals like rats, moles or rabbits. However, due to a decline in treed areas, some tawnies have taken up residence in more urban environments. Small mammals are nowhere near as common in our towns and cities and so the tawny has had to adapt both its hunting methods and its eating habits.
In their natural forest homes, tawny owls perch quite close to the ground and pounce on any unsuspecting prey they notice. In cities though, they have a different technique. They perch high on rooftops or telegraph poles, keeping an eye out for sleeping small birds which they will snatch from their roosts.
Tawny owls are stealthy creatures. Their feathers have adapted a soft, velvety texture which makes the birds' flight almost silent. They have excellent eyesight and hearing which they use to locate their hapless prey. A mouse may be going about its business, totally ignorant of its danger, when death falls upon it from above.
This isn't the first time we've written about owls. Back in November my colleague Sarah wrote this piece, full of facts about these birds of prey and inspired by a childhood visit to a wildlife sanctuary. It also has a link to a great source of information on British owls. If you like owls then why not take a look?

I have a plane flight tomorrow and still need to pack. I've been devoting more thought to my yarn than my clothes and toiletries. My thoughts generally go something like this: I'll want to bring those socks to finish them when I have my brother-in-law's foot handy, but the little needles might not be appropriate for the plane. I'd better come up with a project on fat plastic needles for the flight, maybe washcloths. Hmm, I don't think I have any kitchen cotton in my stash. I need to buy yarn tonight! I force myself to snap out of it at this point.
I just know that I'll be digging through my yarn closet tonight trying to find something small and non-threatening that I can take past airport security. Too bad I'm such a fan of sock needles. Maybe my wooden double-points would be okay, but I would really hate to lose them to the airline. I could hide them with my toiletries! Or I could pretend they are hair accessories! Visions of smuggling fiber and accessories flash through my mind. *cue Mission Impossible theme*

The US News & World Report rankings are based on data which US News collects, either from an annual survey, or from the school's website. Critics charge that US News & World Report changes its grading methodology every other year so that their college rankings will change of necessity. Forbes Magazine also publishes college rankings & school listings. Although best known for their Forbes 400 list, the Forbes college rankings have been getting a lot of attention.
If you are interested in military service, the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program will pay for your college tuition as well as provide a small stipend, as long as you're attending school full-time. There is no fixed military commitment for the first year, allowing you to enroll in ROTC on a trial basis. If you then choose to commit to a military career, ROTC scholarships pay for almost all tuition and fees, and textbook costs, for up to four years of college.

The Black Keys are a great new(ish) band, which won some nice metal at the Grammys the other night. Good for them. It's also good for us, dudes, because that means they'll continue making stupid music videos like this one.
Howlin' For You is a nice, hard-rocking song, with a bluesy back beat to it. The lyrics don't really matter, though, since we've got the rough voice singing along on 'em.
It's a good song.
The music video elevates that song to legen. . . dary status. It's a fake movie trailer, satirizing all those stupid vengeance-fueled bad-girl movies that keep transposing sex and violence and thinking it's something they've only just now discovered and people are going to be thrilled to discover it with them. And the other 9 movies just like it released on video that week.
You've got to sit through a commercial before you get to see the video, but it's definitely worth the wait.
Funny, funny stuff.

My anniversary with my boyfriend is coming up soon and I would like to surprise him with his favorite German food! He went on a trip this summer to Germany and he feel in love with this food called Döner Kebab (It's a meat sandwich with vegetables in between round bread). (Although from my search online it seems it is a Turkish dish).
I was wondering if anyone knew where we could get these Döner sandwiches and what restaurant has the best ones!


text: Okay I brought this up before, but this time I have a picture, so maybe I can get better help to see if this is possible/resonable. I was wondering if I could build some stairs out of a stone product. Ideally I would like to use Olde Manor wall system, but I dont think it would be safe given the height, and the units are only 3 3/4" thick. Everyone here seems to use the Versa-lok system. Anyway, from the ground to the top level of this "deck" it is 3 feet and a half inch. and across the width of the door it is 5 feet 9 inches. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I could approach this? Or would it just look dumb. I'm trying very hard to get rid of that ugly "deck". Thanks guys.

|Quoting 747400sp (Reply 2):
There was a long range version of the A330 300 that was being looked at in 2000, it had the 12 wheel landing gear of the A340 and an extra fuel tank. This design should have been used on the A330 MRTT. With the A340 hard points on and the extra fuel tank and wheels, the A330 MRTT could have been a better tanker.
|Quoting RichardPrice (Reply 1):
Basically, nothing. The A330 does share the wing with the A340, and thus has the hardpoints for the engines on the outer side, and this is one of the benefits touted of the MRTT programme - the wing already exists and doesnt need any strengthening to place refueling points out there.
|Quoting KC135TopBoom (Reply 4):
Then why did the RAAF specify the A-330MRTT be built with the A-340-300 wing? The RAF A-330TT will have the standard A-330-200/-300 wing.
The reason is the A-340 wing carries an extra spar the A-330 does not normally have. The A-340 wing also has additional plumbing and mounting points, for the outboard engines. The reason the A-330 wing does not (normally) have these additional parts is because those parts add additional weight that the A-330 does not need. The wing shape and cord on both airplanes are the same design.
But I agree the center wing section on the A-330-200/-300 and the A-340-200/-300 are the same.
|Quoting KC135TopBoom (Reply 4):
The reason is the A-340 wing carries an extra spar the A-330 does not normally have.
|Quoting 747400sp (Reply 7):
Think it would have been better if they put an A340-500-600 wing on it for more fuel, and kept the two A330 engines.
|Quoting RichardPrice (Reply 8):
What I meant was the wing doesnt require a redesign to hold the extra equipment as they are the same design across the A330/340 range (apart from the -500 and -600), obviously there will be missing internals as these would be extra wasted weight, but Im not sure why its referred to specifically as the 'A340' wing.
|Quoting RichardPrice (Reply 8):
Quoting 747400sp (Reply 7):
Think it would have been better if they put an A340-500-600 wing on it for more fuel, and kept the two A330 engines.
The -500 and -600 wings are longer, and have a different centre wing box. Adapting the A330 would be akin to producing an A330-500, and probably not financiably viable.
|Quoting KC135TopBoom (Reply 9):
RichardPrice is correct, the -500 and -600 wing is totally different, structurally and aerodynamicly from the -200/-300 wing.

Over 1.8 million nonprofits and charities for donors, volunteers and funders
Causes: Education, Educational Services
Mission: Educating children and families to grow and flourish.
Programs: With expectations as our foundation, the motivate our minds program provides students with the premier education enrichment program that combines adaptive technologies with intensive direct instruction, provided by highly qualified teachers. In the last three years, we have undertaken a tremendous effort to better document the rate of success students are having in the classroom. To those ends, we have been able to monitor student progress via the muncie community schools parent portal, and we are able to track reading and math proficiency within the star reading and star math programs. Within the first semester of using the star reading and star math programs, our students showed an average gain of more than one whole school year. For the students that enroll, (continued on sch o) we are able to demostrate clear connections to the math and reading objectives that are being mastered on a daily and quarterly basis. There are other extended-school programs in muncie and delaware county. While each of these organizations is able to represent a specialized area of expertise, motivate our minds provides a comprehensive collection of benefits to families. Motivate our minds employs certified classroom faculty and provides individualized learning controls, via accelerated math and reading programs. By requiring families to share their student's muncie community schools parent portal login, our faculty are able to manage academic progress in real time which adds another level of individualized attention. The history, facilities, tutor support, and reputation of motivate our minds all contribute to a building culture that is not always seen in other programs around the community and allows the teachers to deliver high quality instruction. We can absolutely replicate and expand success, and poverty does not have to mean low achievement and expectations. A support network is fundamental to student success, and so motivate our minds has developed new collaborations while continuing to nurture our existing partners. Additionally, to support the continued learning of students during summer months, the growing entrepreneurs program was created. Over the course of three academic semesters each year, including the summer, motivate our minds has served an average of 60 students in each session. Approximately 179 students were served during the last year. Over 90% of motivate our minds' families receive at least some form of tuition assistance, relative to their household income and ability to pay. Our sample size for measurement is not as large as we would like at this point, but we are committed to growing our multiple year retention rates.

"Get your own custom website at amazing prices."
"Increase your traffic and uplift your ROI."
"Custom website and all digital solutions available at a single click; Contact us to resolve your digital marketing issues."
"Unique, customized and search engine optimized website. Packages start $99/month. Terms and conditions apply."
Whether or not you are a business entity, you must have come across such offers online as well as offline, offering digital marketing solutions for businesses. If you are into business, you must have been directly approached by such agencies, trying to lure you with seemingly 'amazing' offers that will magically transform your struggling enterprise into nothing less than a market giant.
They would try to indulge you into the idea that a custom website at an unbeatable offer of $99/moth, that you will have to pay for 36 whole months, is all you need to uplift your performance. They even flaunt their badges, as well as certifications featuring a prominent Google logo, as a proof that they are 'legitimate' Google employees, and can 'officially' promote and improve the rating of your website or business page, if your purchase a customized 360 view for your business.
Admit it or not, we all, to a less or more extent, fall into the trap and not many of us bother to actually investigate the truth behind these false claims. Digital marketing being the 'in' thing these days, digital agencies have been sprouting up in the market every other day. With a glitzy website, compelling copy, and an extensive service portfolio that seems no less than a 'match made in heaven' for your business needs, these self-proclaimed digital marketers lag flat-out behind when it comes to industry and market knowledge, experience, and expertise.
Small businesses usually turn out to be a soft target for these agencies, which trap them into purchasing these outrageously exorbitant packages, and in turn, deliver them a product that's anything but unique – just another replicated version of the hundreds and thousands of website available online.
Here we share some smart tips that you need to consider before signing the buying contract. This is essential to preserve your interests, and avoid falling prey to deceptive gimmicks of such digital marketing agencies.
- Ask the agency about their past work experience, and their client portfolio. You may also ask for client references and get direct feedback about the service quality and caliber of the agency.
- Check out their real samples. Get to know their definition of 'customized', by checking out the websites they have designed in the recent past.
- Be specific about the evaluation parameters. Ask them how about the agency's KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and key parameters to evaluate the efficacy of their service. KPIs are measurable elements of any marketing campaign. They allow you to see how well the marketing strategy is performing and what you should adjust to make improvements. Here are the top 5 KIPs that reputable agencies should measure:
- Traffic — the amount of people visiting your website
- Traffic Sources — where your web traffic is coming from
- Conversions — the amount of people that have visited your website and become a lead
- Cost per Lead — the amount of money it costs to acquire a new lead by each marketing source
- Revenue per Lead — the amount of money you make for each lead that generated
- Be specific in the plan and the after sales support. Ask them about the features and objectives that the first 3 months of the plan will entail and its expected results.
- Inquire them about the communication mediums and account management services.
- Focus on the minor aspects of the package. The problem often lies in what has been concealed. For example, who owns your marketing campaigns? Do you own your newly created logo and domain name that you paid for? The answer may surprise you.
- Ask the agency about the value proposition of the service. Ask them about the tangible as well as intangible returns that you are likely to receive, in return for your expenditure.

TEN bronze medals won by Australians at last year's Rio Olympics have had to be returned to Brazil because they are falling apart.
Swimming sensation Kyle Chalmers and synchronised divers Anabelle Smith and Maddison Keeney are just three of the athletes who have seen their medals either peel, rust or break out in black spots.
They have asked for their medals to be replaced because they are so badly damaged.
Compounding the shambles, the Australian Olympic Committee has sent back three bronze medals for the second time because the Brazilian Mint failed to return untarnished replacements.
An AOC spokeswoman said 12 medals were returned days after being awarded last year because they were already "falling apart".
There were no reports of gold and silver medals being affected, she said.
Dual Olympian Anabelle Smith, 24, said her bronze medal started fading one day after she received it.
"It started getting grey patches all over it and had already faded within 24 hours," she said.
"I was very disappointed. When you win an Olympic medal you would think it would be of better quality.
"I had it replaced at the Games, but then we got an email recently saying the medals had been finished with a faulty product.
"That medal had faded as well. Although I do not have the same medal I was presented with at the games, I've still won a bronze medal."
A spokesman for the Australian Paralympic Committee said they are not aware of this issue affecting any Australian medallists.
At least 130 Olympic and Paralympic medals are being replaced worldwide, Rio Games spokesman Mario Andrada said.
He said the first problems came to light in October but called them "completely normal".

Preventive Maintenance is one of the most ignored aspects of IT Technology ownership. Most people seem to think that systems do not need preventive maintenance, and so you should just use it until it breaks, and then repair or replace it. These people generally find themselves repairing or replacing much sooner than those that take definite steps to avoid difficulties in the first place.
Preventive Maintenance Saves Money: I'm sure we've all heard the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Avoiding problems with your IT systems will save you money in the long run, compared with laying out cash for new components or repair jobs.
Preventive Maintenance Saves Time: Saves time? How can taking two hours a month or whatever to perform maintenance save time? Simple: because it saves you the much bigger hassles of dealing with system failures and data loss. Most preventive maintenance procedures are quite simple compared to troubleshooting and repair procedures--now those can really eat up your time and budget at a fantastic rate.
Preventive Maintenance Helps Safeguard Your Data: For most people, the data on the hard disk is more important than the hardware that houses it. Taking steps to protect this data therefore makes sense, and that is what PC/Server PM is all about.
Preventive Maintenance Improves Performance: Some parts of your system will actually degrade in performance over time, and preventive maintenance will help to improve the speed of your system in these respects.

08 August 2011
Financial concerns have forced the Highways Agency to redefine its rules on potholes, reports newsbucket.co.uk.
Bad news for those with logistics or driving jobs, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Where previously, contractors would be dispensed to fill any road surface defects within 24 hours, to ensure "roads gave an even, comfortable and quiet ride," soon, any defect smaller than a soup bowl will not be top priority.
The reason for the change is to cut the cost of road maintenance by 20 per cent and to ask contractors to find other ways to make repairs. Each job currently costs in the region of £270.
However, insurance costs due to damage caused by road defects, adds up to £413 million every year.
Applying to motorways and trunk roads, the new classification means that only potholes deeper than four centimetres and wider than 15 centimetres need to be repaired straight away.
The changes are being trialled in the West Country, according to the Mail Online, and will be rolled out to the rest of the UK by 2015.
However, the news has not been warmly received by those in the industry, unsurprisingly.
The proposed changes were hailed "dangerous and irresponsible" by Nigel Humphries of the Association of British Drivers. He said: "A pothole which is four centimetres deep is an awfully big holes and with lorries rumbling over the top of them, it will not take long for them to expand rapidly.
"This could cause drivers to lose control."

The park itself was beautiful and I had great seats, but they have BY FAR the biggest screen (backstop) I have ever seen in my life. The screen extends from the far end of one dugout to the far end of the other dugout. Plus, I had 2 big cables between my line of sight and the pitchers mound. My camera kept focusing on the screen and cables, so more than half of my photos were out of focus and I had to delete them. Therefore, there really is no rhyme or reason to the photos I posted today. For those planning to visit the park, the food was pretty run of the mill and the parking lots are not completed yet. With only 5,000 people in the park today, some people had to park several hundred yards away in dusty dirt lots.
As far as the hitting goes, it was superb, with 11 hits and 5 extra base hits. The hits were spread throughout the lineup, top to bottom, starters and replacements.
The pitching was good overall, except one pitch by Yabu and a very maddening performance by Kelvin Pichardo. Pichardo started the 8th inning. He got 2 quick outs and had a 1-2 count on the 3rd batter he faced. On a 1-2 count, Michael Aubry put the ball over the fence for a solo HR. From that point on, Pichardo gave up single, double, double and could not get out of the inning. He was relieved by Francis Beltran, who added to the suspense by walking the first batter he faced on 5 pitches. Beltran got the next batter out, and limited the damage. Beltran and Jesse English closed out the game for a 10-7 final.
Sorry for the short post....but it is already 7:10 PM here and I have to get the Barbecue going. If I think of something else important, I might edit this post later to add it.

Im just testing this out because im pretty bored, ahha. just trying to reach the word count.

Vegan diet.
Hello! I'm kind of new to veganism but it is extremely important to me and I love this life! I'm passionate about animal rights and the health benefits of plant based diets. I'm really laid back and I love a good movie and a quiet night as much as a spontaneous road trip. My kids are grown and I'm looking forward to a new chapter
is a 30 year old, Agnostic / not religious female.
Living in Tacoma, washington
Vegan diet.
I'm a pretty chill person with some big dreams. I am vegan, hard working, free spirited, sociable, tactful, well liked, open minded, and compassionate. I love to travel, hike, cook, and play my guitar. I'm a pretty carasmatic and outgoing person, but I'd rather get to know you through actual conversation instead of writing a biography on here :) but I'll throw some things out there that could be deal breakers. No cigarettes, please. Occasional marijuana is ok. I do not want kids, but I do want to get married someday. I am open minded to dating someone with teenagers, but young kids are really not my cup of tea. I am extroverted (not over the top, I have my quiet moments) and would do best with someone that is not completely introverted. It is very important to me that any man I date is vegan. I am not judgemental of people who are not vegan, but being vegan is such a big part of who I am that I can not connect with someone on such a deep emotional level if they are not. I would love to find someone who is vegan, wants to climb mountains with me, enjoys being cooked for and will return the favor, open minded, outgoing, and compassionate.

I'm a very kind, honest spiritual person, and love all animals. Also looking for someone who can help me with my desire to become a Vegan.

Easy Peach Fruit Hand Pie Recipe
Summer is officially here, which means that my favorite fruits are now in season! Peaches, specifically. Mmmmmm…..
When I was pregnant with my second son, I craved hand pies like they were going out of style.
Today's recipe honors those hungry pregnancy days and summer's fresh fruits! Peach hand pies for the win, folks.
Get the easy recipe below!
Easy Peach Fruit Hand Pie Recipe
Summer fruits in a deliciously sweet iced hand pie. Easy to make and oh so yummy!
Yield: 1 dozen
- 2 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts (they come in a box together)
- 1/2 (21 oz) can of peach pie filling
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
1. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Unroll the 2 pie crusts and place
on a level workspace for 5-10 minutes before cutting into pieces. You want the pie dough to be at room temperature before using.
3. Pour the peach pie filling into a bowl and cut up the peach slices into smaller pieces so they will fit into the hand pies.
4. Add the cinnamon to the pie filling and stir well to incorporate. Set aside while cutting the dough.
5. Once at room temperature, use a 4-inch cookie cutter or biscuit cutter and cut out 6 circles from each pie dough (total of 12).
6. Place the 12 mini pie crusts on the parchment lined cookie sheet.
7. Place 1 Tablespoon of the pie filling into the middle of each mini pie crust. Try to be exact by using an actual Tablespoon. If you add more than that, you will not be able to fold over the crust.
8. Fold each mini pie crust in half and pinch the edges closed. Use the tines of a fork to press down and seal.
9. Use a knife to poke two small holes into the middle of each hand pie.
10. Brush the beaten egg white on the top of each hand pie and bake for 15 minutes.
11. For the glaze, add the powdered sugar and milk to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
12. Remove peach hand pies from oven and place the cookie sheet on a wire each to cool for 5 minutes.
23. After 5 minutes of cooling, dip the warm peach hand pies into the glaze, covering each pie entirely. Place back on the lined cookie sheet to completely cool.

BS Medical Tropes that Need to Die, 2/? : Making People Unconscious
For Part 1 of the BS Medical Tropes series, click here!
So I got an ask the other night about a character choosing not to kill people, but knocks them out with blows to the head instead. And it's not an unreasonable thing for writers to think is legitimate. In fact, in fiction, there are dozens of ways to produce unconsciousness! A sharp hit to the head; a sedative drug injected right into the neck, bro!, or even Darkly Dreaming Dexter with his special horse paralytic.
Hell, on Person of Interest the main characters routinely produce unconscious enemy combatants by shooting them in the @$#RY)G!@#% knees.
Here's the thing: Every single one of those is complete bullshit.
Poppycock. Nincompoopery. Asscrap. And you'd realize that it's a crock of crap if you thought about it this way for even half a minute:

Yesterday I went through things in the kitchen and in one bedroom closet, and gave quite a few things to the complex manager.
She's using what I give her to set up an apartment staged for potential residents to view.
I'm starting to see progress. And so is she.
Moving & Shifting...This has caused the shifting around of things, of course, in the living and dining area.
I've moved the coffee bar where the dining table was, and the dining table where the coffee bar was, to give more room to walk through with my new living room arrangement.
Not sure if that is going to work or not. I'm just doing a bit at a time and letting it sit while I rest my ankle. I can't do it all at once like I did in my younger days anyway.
And really, I've learned that this is a better way to figure out what you want. By doing a bit and then living with it a day or so to look at all the variables.
I can see I'm going to have to repaint the kitchen table. It's chipped on top. The same shade of yellow, but with a more durable paint.
I think the cabinet paint I already have will hopefully do the trick.
Abi Update...Abi is no longer limping, but she is still taking medication for inflammation and pain for her ACL. If I could just get that dog to stop jumping like a puppy!
She is now snuggled here beside me in the chair, fast asleep. Charlie is in his basket with his "blankie" on the couch.
Cold Weather & Gray Days...It's supposed to be quite cold here for a few days. So I will be staying in.
This cold is really hard on my ankle.
You know, every time someone asks me how I broke both sides of my right ankle, I tell them I stumbled and fell one way, reached up to protect my camera, and then veered the other way.
And of course they say: "Bet you wish you'd just let the camera go and protected yourself."
But you know, you can't sit around and regret what you did or didn't do. It's futile.
I reacted in an instant, for that's all I had. And I can't go back and redo it.
So I just live with what happened and move on.
I think we waste a lot of time with regret. I know I have. It's something I try not to do.
Of course there are days when I'm fixated on something that happened. Something I did. Something I said.
But we aren't given "do-overs."
There's no director to yell "cut" to allow us to try to get our lines right.
Getting Older, Gaining Wisdom...If there's one thing you learn as you get older, it's that it's ridiculous to waste time on thinking what you should or shouldn't have done in the past.
That's wasting your future.
And that's the opposite of "living in the moment."
These days we hear and read a lot about this: Being more present in your day-to-day life. Making each moment count.
But it's really quite true,isn't it?
So much time goes into planning the future. Vacations, visits with loved ones. Moving into a dream home.
All "some day."
But there's only so much planning one can do. When trying to plan everything, you're missing out on now. Today.
And then sometimes things happen beyond our control, and those plans go up in flames.
How Much Planning Is Too Much Planning...Sometimes I think many parents these days are over-planning their children's lives. Some kids have schedules that would rival that of a business magnate.
I believe that children learn creativity by entertaining themselves. Having time to play in the mud. Not having so many electronic devices and learning to play with mundane objects.
My kids loved to play with pots and pans on the floor. Or use spoons to play drums on them while I cooked.
There's something to be said, I think, for learning to entertain themselves with what's at hand. Instead of constantly buying them new toys in shiny packages.
Of course we want our children to have more than we did. That's natural.
But life is not always a shiny package full of wonderful surprises, is it?
That is a reality we come to learn as time goes by.

(Al's Den, 303 SW 12th) Portland singer/songwriter Ezza Rose hosts a residency at Al's Den, playing free sets all week long with special guests each night. Tonight, Rose joins Mike Apinyakul of Shoeshine Blue for a night of classic duet covers, but any night you stop by, expect warming folk to soothe your rain-stiff bones. NED LANNAMANN
(Bunk Bar, 1028 SE Water) Tonight, Portland band Just Lions welcomes Monsters into the world, a three-song EP that was a long time coming, due to what singer/guitarist Chandler Strutz calls "some truly shitty health issues that I've been dealing with." As it turns out, three songs are plenty, as every track on Monsters is adventurous, melodic, inventive rock that doesn't leave you wanting. The centerpiece, "Othello," is thunderous, ponderous, and tinged with tragedy—it sounds like a much bigger band than the mere three-piece of Strutz, his brother Brady Strutz, and drummer Andrew Shepherd. (Chandler adds, "Andrew and I have been in bands together for over a decade. Brady and I have been in petty fights about nothing for over two decades.") The tracks on Monsters were initially part of a full-length, but when Chandler fell sick, they decided to release these tracks now rather than wait. Fortunately, Chandler is doing well and Just Lions sounds great, with the solid Monsters to show for it. NL
