text: THE BABE INTHE BULRUSHESBy AMY STEEDMANTHOMAS NELSON & SONSNEW YORK* * * * *THE FINDING OF MOSESMany long years had passed since the days when Joseph's brothers and their families had settled in the land of Egypt. They were a great nation in numbers now, but the Egyptians still ruled over them, and used them as servants. The Pharaoh who had been so kind to the shepherds from Canaan was dead long ago, and the new kings, or Pharaohs as they were called, hated foreigners, and began to treat the Israelites very harshly. There were too many of them, they said; it was dangerous to have so many strong, powerful slaves. They must be kept down, and made to work from morning till night, and be beaten if they did not work fast enough.That was very hard for the poor people; but worse was to come. An order was issued one day which spread sorrow through all the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived. Every baby boy that was born was to be thrown into the river. Girl babies might be allowed to live, for they would be useful as slaves, but boys might grow up to fight for their country, and so they must be destroyed.In one little house, not far from the great river Nile, a woman sat holding her tiny baby in her arms, while the tears ran down her cheeks. He was such a beautiful baby, so strong and fair and healthy; but the king's order was that he was to be thrown into the river, where the cruel, hungry crocodiles were waiting to snap up everything they could find for a meal. Jochebed, the poor mother, held her baby closer in her arms. No, she could not obey the king's order. She would try and hide the baby for a little while, at any rate.It was easy to hide a baby while he was still tiny and slept most of the day; but when he grew bigger it was much more difficult. His sister Miriam did her best to help her mother; but any day, now that the baby was three months old, he might be discovered, and something must be done at once.So Jochebed thought of a plan, and prayed to God that He would help her to carry it out. At the edge of the river there grew tall bulrushes, which, when cut down and dried, could be made into many useful things. Taking some of these bulrushes, she wove them into a little cradle with a cover to it, just like a little ark, and this she covered with a kind of pitch, so that not a drop of water could come through. Inside the cradle she made a soft bed, and laid the baby there while he was fast asleep, and set the ark afloat in the water where the bulrushes were growing. She knew that presently the great princess, Pharaoh's daughter, would come down to bathe in the river, and would notice the queer little ark floating there.Very soon the royal procession came winding down from the palace towards the river, as the princess in her gorgeous robes made her way to bathe in the pool of the lotus flowers. But at the edge of the river she stopped. What was that among the bulrushes? It was no lotus flower, but a strange-looking covered basket, and she ordered her maidens to bring it to her.The little ark was lifted out of the water and carried to the princess. There was surely something alive inside, and the princess was full of curiosity as she leaned down and lifted the cover to look in. Then she started back in amazement. The dearest little baby she had ever seen lay there, all rosy and fresh after his sleep, gazing up at her with wide-open eyes. The maidens crowded round, and the sight of all those strange faces was more than the baby could bear. He puckered up his face and began to cry.The princess loved babies, and she had none of her own. That little wailing cry went to her heart. She guessed at once that this was one of the Hebrew babies which had been ordered to be destroyed, and she made up her mind that this beautiful boy should at least be saved.All this time Miriam had been watching from her hiding-place close by, and with anxious, beating heart she came forward now. Could she help the princess? she asked. Should she run and find some Hebrew woman who might look after the baby?Perhaps the princess guessed that the baby's mother would not be far off, and she must have smiled a little when a nurse was so quickly found. But she took no notice of that."Take this child away," she said, when Jochebed stood humbly before her, "and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages."It was merely as a nurse that the mother was hired. The great princess meant to adopt the baby as her own. But he was safe, and Jochebed's heart was full of gratitude to God as she took her little son into her arms again.As long as he needed a nurse the baby was left to be looked after by his mother in the little house by the river-side. The princess called him Moses, which means "drawn out," because he had been drawn out of the water, and she had made up her mind that as soon as he was old enough he should come to live with her at the palace, and be brought up as a prince. He would be treated just as if he was really her son.But his poor mother had him for those first precious years while he was still a little boy, and she did not waste one minute of that time in her training of him. She taught him about God, and told him all the wonderful stories about his own country, so that he should never forget that he belonged to God's people, even when he should become a prince in the Egyptian palace. Just as a gardener sows seeds in a garden which afterwards grow up into beautiful flowers, so she sowed the seeds of truth in the heart of her little son, which long afterwards were to blossom out and bear such wonderful fruit.Then when Moses was old enough to do without a nurse, she took him to the palace, and "brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son."But deep down in his heart he never forgot his own people.It happened one day that he saw one of the Egyptian taskmasters treating one of the poor Israelite slaves with great cruelty, beating him most unmercifully with a long whip. This made Moses so angry that he rushed in to defend the slave, and dealt the taskmaster such a blow that it killed him.But instead of being grateful the Israelites would not trust him, and began to whisper the tale of how he had killed the Egyptian, so that Moses was obliged to flee for his life, leaving behind all the riches and honours he had enjoyed so long.A very different kind of life began now for Moses. He journeyed far into the desert and joined company there with an Arab tribe, and wandered from place to place feeding their flocks and living the life of a shepherd.But God had more difficult work for him to do than feeding sheep, and one day when he was in the desert he saw a strange sight. A bush was growing there, and in the middle of the bush a fire was burning, and the strange thing was that although the fire kept on burning fiercely the bush was not burnt at all. It was the Angel of the Lord that was in the midst of the fire, and as Moses drew near God called him by his name, and told him that he was to go back and set his people free from the tyranny of Pharaoh and lead them into the Promised Land.At first Moses said it was impossible for him to do this. His own people would not trust him, and he was no great speaker; he would certainly fail. But God bade him do his best, and Aaron his brother would speak for him; and above all God would be his helper.So Moses returned to the land of Egypt and boldly asked Pharaoh to allow the people to go and worship God. Time after time Pharaoh refused, although God sent dreadful plagues to warn him. At last, however, when the angel of death killed all the eldest sons of the Egyptians, Pharaoh was terrified and said the people might go at once and take all their belongings with them.It was a great company of people that set out, and Moses the great leader guided them on their way. They had many adventures, and braved many dangers and difficulties, but God was always their shield and defence. He delivered them by parting the waters of the Red Sea and allowing them to walk over dry-shod when Pharaoh and his army were pursuing them. And when the pursuers tried to follow them, the waters rolled back, and the whole great army were swept away by the returning tide.Yet in spite of God's care and goodness towards them, these Israelites were often ungrateful, and complained bitterly when they suffered any want. And it was always Moses whom they blamed.Moses was very patient with them; but once he was so angry that he was tempted to disobey God's direction, and as a punishment God told him that though he should see the Promised Land from afar he would never enter it himself.There on the mountain top he stood, gazing into the far distance, where the Land of Canaan, that fair land flowing with milk and honey, lay stretched out before him. Then he bowed his head to God's will. The murmuring people never saw their great leader again. He "was not, for God took him."RUTH, THE GLEANERAlong the hot, dusty road that led from the country of Moab to the fair land of Judah three women were walking with bowed heads and weary, halting steps. Their sorrowful, heavy eyes took no pleasure in the summer beauty of the harvest fields, the shimmering silver of the olive trees, and the rich promise of the vineyards which bordered their way. The whole world looked sad to them, seen through a mist of tears.There behind them, in the land of Moab, each of these women had left green graves, which held all they loved best. Naomi, the eldest, was perhaps the most desolate. Her thoughts went back to the time when she was as young and fair as the two daughters-in-law who walked at her side—when with her husband and her two boys she had trod that very road, seeking a home in a strange country to escape the famine which threatened them in her own land. Now she was returning to her native town of Bethlehem, a childless, lonely widow.The younger women, who were the wives of those two dead sons, were very sorrowful too, but for them there might yet be happiness in the world. They still had near and dear relatives and many friends in Moab, which was their native land. They had come far enough now, and it was time for them to return."Turn again, my daughters," said Naomi, "and go your way."Their homes lay behind, and she must journey on alone to the little hill town which she had not seen for so many long years. They had kindly come so far to see her on her way, but they must come no farther.So the little party halted, and one of the young women, weeping bitterly, kissed her mother-in-law and turned to go back. But the other one, whose name was Ruth, clung to Naomi, and would not leave her.In vain the elder woman urged her to return, and pointed out that Orpah had gone, that home and friends and happiness awaited her there, while in front was only poverty and loneliness. Ruth only clung the closer as she sobbed out her tender, loving words."Entreat me not to leave thee," she said, "or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me."The tender words brought comfort to the heart of Naomi, as soft rain brings refreshment to the hard, dry earth. After all, she was not quite alone; she still had some one to love and care for. So together they journeyed on again, and at last came to the winding road which led up to the town of Bethlehem, nestling like a white bird upon the long ridge of hills.Naomi knew every step of the way. It seemed almost like a dream to tread on more that winding road, to pass through the city gates and find her way to the little house she knew so well. Although she had been gone so many years there were still people who remembered her, and these came running out to greet her."Is this Naomi?" they asked wonderingly.They could scarcely believe that this sad, broken-down woman could be the pleasant-faced, happy girl who had gone away with her husband and boys in the year of the great famine. But as they listened to her story they did not wonder that she seemed so old and talked so bitterly. It made them look very kindly upon the beautiful girl who kept so close to her mother-in-law, who had given up everything rather than leave her alone.Naomi had been quite right when she had told Ruth that poverty lay before them. She had come back quite empty-handed, and it was necessary to find some work at once which would at least provide them with daily bread. Ruth, looking out over the fields where already the barley was being cut, made up her mind to go and work there. The poor were always allowed to follow the reapers and glean the stray ears of corn that fell unnoticed. She might at least gather enough to feed her mother-in-law and herself.Very happily, then, Ruth set out, and found her way into the harvest field, which belonged to a rich man called Boaz. The reapers treated her kindly when she timidly asked for permission to glean there, and when the master arrived to see how the harvest went, he too noticed her at once, for she was very beautiful."Whose damsel is this?" he asked.There were many people ready to tell him her name, and also to tell him how she had left her land and her people to come with Naomi, her mother-in-law. The story had been repeated all through the town.Boaz listened with interest. Naomi was his kins-woman, and it was only right that he should help her. He would begin by helping the sweet-faced daughter-in-law who had chanced to come gleaning upon his land. So he went and spoke very kindly to the beautiful Ruth, and told her to come every day to his harvest field and share the reapers' food, and he would see that no one troubled her. He even told the reapers to let some handfuls of corn fall in her way, on purpose, so that there might be plenty for her to glean.So each day Ruth went back and worked in the harvest fields, and each day as Boaz watched her he grew to love the gentle, loving-hearted woman more and more. And when at last the harvest days were over, he went to Naomi and asked that Ruth might become his wife.There was no more poverty or hard work now for Ruth or Naomi, no anxious days of wondering how long their flour and oil would last. Boaz was very rich, and nothing was too good for his fair young wife, whom he had first seen humbly gleaning in his harvest field.Happiness, too, began to steal back into the life of Naomi. Winter and spring passed, and when harvest time came round once more, all the sorrow and bitterness faded from her heart, for God sent a little child to comfort her. A baby son was born to Ruth, and the whole world seemed full of sunshine and happiness as she laid him in his grandmother's arms, and the two loving hearts rejoiced in their happiness, just as they had clung together in their sorrow.Of course, they dreamed many happy dreams over the little downy head, and planned a splendid future for the baby, as all mothers and grandmothers will do. But even their dreams never touched the golden reality, for they did not know that he was to be the grandfather of King David, that in this same little town of Bethlehem there was to be born of his line a greater King yet, the King of Heaven.SAMUEL, THE LITTLE SERVERIt was some years after Ruth's son had been born in Bethlehem that another mother was made glad by the precious gift of a little son. This mother's name was Hannah, and her baby was a special joy to her because she had so longed to have a son and had prayed so earnestly to God for this great gift.There was no doubt about the baby's name. He was called "Samuel," which means "God has heard."For had not God listened to his mother's prayers and given her her heart's desire?Hannah held her baby close in her arms. He was her very own, and yet he belonged also to God. She had promised, if her prayer was heard, that she would lend him to God, to serve Him in His Holy Temple.Only for a little while could she keep the baby all to herself. The months passed and then the years, and Samuel grew old enough to run about and take care of himself, needing no longer to be carried in his mother's arms. Then the time came that she should take him to Eli, the priest of God, and leave him to be brought up in the Temple and taught to be a servant of God.Perhaps at first Samuel cried for his mother, for he was only a very little boy, and must have felt strange and lonely without her; but he very soon grew happy again, and learnt to love the old priest and the new life. It was his mother who suffered most. She missed him so sorely, and mothers do not forget as quickly as children do. But although she had lent him to God, he was still hers too; and every year she went back to see him, and through the long months in between, her fingers were busy making him a little coat of a beautiful blue stuff, sewed with a border of exquisite embroidery, blue and purple and scarlet, that was like a wreath of pomegranates. Just as certain as his birthday came round his mother came and brought with her his little coat, and as he grew bigger every year the coat was bigger too.Now, as soon as Samuel was old enough he went with Eli, the old priest, into God's house to learn how to help in God's service. Just as we sometimes see now a very little boy helping the priest at God's altar, so Samuel was like a little server as he helped Eli, and he too wore a linen surplice, or ephod as it was called.Although he was such a little boy, Samuel already showed that he was straightforward, brave, and obedient, a boy who could be trusted. He did his work faithfully, and when Eli began to grow feeble and his sight became dim, the little server was ready with his clear sight and eager footsteps to be both eyes and feet to the old priest.But besides growing old and feeble, Eli was also growing more and more unhappy day by day. His two sons were wicked and disobedient, and, what was worse, they were teaching God's people to be wicked too. Eli would not punish them as they deserved, so at last the time came when God took the punishment into His own hands. Only He would warn Eli before-hand, for the old priest was His servant.So one night God's message came, spoken by God's own voice—spoken not to the great priest, but to the humble little server.It was evening time. All the work of the day was over, and Eli had gone to rest. The lamp in the temple was burning dimly, sometimes flickering as if it would go out altogether, and leave the holy place in darkness. Samuel, tired with his day's service, was fast asleep, when suddenly he woke up, startled and attentive. Some one had called his name: "Samuel, Samuel.""Here am I," answered the boy at once. Perhaps the old priest was ill, and wanted him. Hastily Samuel slipped out of bed, and ran to Eli. But the old man was lying there quite calmly, and when Samuel asked why he had called, he answered quietly, "I called not; lie down again."It was very strange; but perhaps he had been dreaming, so Samuel went back and crept into bed, and very soon was once more fast asleep. Then again the voice came: "Samuel." This time Samuel was sure it was no dream, and he ran to Eli and cried to him, "Here am I, for thou didst call me.""I called not, my son," said Eli. "Lie down again."But when it happened a third time, and the little white figure stood by the priest's bed, declaring positively, "Thou didst call me," Eli suddenly realized that perhaps it was God whose voice the boy had heard."Go, lie down," he said gently to the bewildered child, "and it shall be if He call thee that thou shalt say, 'Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth.'"One great lesson Samuel had learnt, and that was to do exactly what he was told, never questioning. So now he went back to bed without another word.Did Eli mean that it was the Lord who had called him? The great God who was so wonderful, whose Ark was in the Holy Place behind the veil of blue and purple and scarlet, guarded by cherubim? He had only seemed like a far-off name to Samuel. Could it really be God's own voice that had called Samuel? If that was so, then the great unknown God must all the time have known the little servant in His house.Then again the voice sounded: "Samuel, Samuel."This time Samuel was listening with all his might, and obediently his answer rang out fearlessly and clearly—"Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth."God knew that His little servant was fit to be trusted with a message, although it was a terrible one; and He told Samuel that a dreadful punishment was to fall upon the old priest Eli and his wicked sons, and so awful would it be that even the ears of the people who heard about it should tingle.There was no more sleep for Samuel that night. God's voice rang in his ears; his heart was filled with the thought that Eli would ask him what God had said, and he would have to tell him that dreadful message.At last the morning light began to steal in, and it was time to open the doors of God's house. The little server in his linen ephod was at his post as usual, but to-day his shining morning face was clouded and troubled, and there must have been a look of awe in his clear eyes.The call he dreaded came all too soon, and for the first time the sound of Eli's voice was unwelcome in his ears."Samuel, my son," called the old man.Immediately Samuel went and stood at his side, "Here am I," he said."What is it that the Lord hath said unto thee?" asked Eli. His eyes were very dim, but he felt sure that the boy had a troubled and fearful look. "I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that He said unto thee."The very worst must be told, and Samuel knew he must hide nothing now. He repeated God's message word for word, and Eli bowed his head as he listened. The poor old priest had been a weak father, but he was a faithful servant, and knew that God was just."It is the Lord," he said: "let Him do what seemeth Him good."From that day all things were different to Samuel, and year by year as he grew older he learned more and more to love and serve the God who had spoken to him and trusted him. So also as the years went by the people who worshipped at the Temple began to know that the little child who had been such a faithful server was chosen for a post of great honour—that he had been called, indeed, to be a prophet of the Lord.* * * * *BOOKS IN THIS SERIESJOSEPH THE DREAMERTHE BABE IN THE BULRUSHESDAVID THE SHEPHERD BOYTHE CHILD JESUSTHE GOOD PHYSICIANTHE GOOD SHEPHERD* * * * *THE END

It is against the law* to ride on sidewalks unless the diameter of your rear wheel is 410 millimetres (16 inches) or less.
Several studies have proven that cyclists on sidewalks face a far greater collision risk than cyclists on the roadway. The main danger points are intersections where you may surprise motorists by appearing unexpectedly due to your speed on a sidewalk.
Uncontrolled intersections such as back lanes, driveways and access to strip malls are of particular concern. In many cases, the view for both the approaching motorist and yourself is obstructed. As there are no traffic controls, the motorist is not required to come to a full stop and, if an obstruction exists, they will have to move past the sidewalk to see the roadway traffic. The entrance and exits to strip malls are particularly dangerous because they are often on an angle, which makes it more difficult to see a fast-moving bike approaching.
Sidewalks are primarily for use by pedestrians. These pedestrians include unpredictable children, mobility impaired individuals and older adults who may be startled easily. Riding on the sidewalk creates an unsafe environment for everyone.

Seth Godin is one of my favorite bloggers, as I have said many, many times over the last several years. I'm beginning to think that Seth has had one or more bad experiences with real estate brokers over the years, because it seems to me that each post he writes about real estate has a little bit of an edge to it. But, Seth's crafty. I can't really point to anything directly. He's built in plausible deniability.
In his latest real estate article, there are some truths, some half-truths, and some, shall we say, misinterpretations. First, let me deal with the obvious point that I, as a real estate broker, would differ with: number nine. Seth, I can't really speak to the laws of agency in New York, but in Texas, the first piece of paper an agent has to get signed, at the first substantive conversation about real estate, is a document called: Information about Brokerage Services. This document spells out clearly that a broker (all listings are considered to belong to the sponsoring broker here, as opposed to a particular agent) can represent the seller or the buyer, or can represent both in house through a process called intermediary. Intermediary would mean that both sides of a deal is being handled in-house. Intermediary requires the broker to appoint two agents - one to represent the interests of the buyer, and one to represent the interests of the seller, with the broker becoming the intermediary. Personally, I'm not a fan of intermediary, but it does happen.
Seth, I agree that no man can serve two masters, however, in our agency we clearly tell everyone involved who we represent, up front. When an agent walks into my office to ask me a question about a particular deal, the first question I ask is, "Who are we representing?" This clears up a lot, because we are legally bound to represent the interests of our client, just like an attorney. (Seth, why don't you pick on attorneys more often?)
Bottom line on number nine: you can't pretend that our "marketing" leads innocent lambs to slaughter. We are doing our job, and buyers buy houses because they want them, and agree to pay the price because that's what they have to pay to get the seller to agree to sell the house to them! We can talk all day about why people buy houses, but very little of it has to do with merely obtaining shelter from the cold, wind and rain. (See Seth's point number five.)
Now, I believe a lot of his other points are good ones, and deserve thoughtful reflection, except number eight. Nobody has a guarantee of being able to make a big house payment, even one with a "steady job." Boy, didn't this last recession prove that? What's the solution?: put more money down, and keep the payments low enough that you can survive any lull in income. Or, pay 100% down. But then that puts you in a neighborhood where you may not want to live, and that brings us back to...number five!
Seth, you of all people should understand that we all buy emotionally and justify rationally. The idea that a home is a great investment is how we as buyers rationalize the purchase we are making and that rationale applies not only to homes, but everything else we buy, like books on marketing, which could actually be more entertaining than factual, but we rationalize that the purchase is really an investment for our business.

Day 2: 31 October 2013 (Thu)
On Day 2, we woke up and saw the great view from our hotel room at the top floor!
Tim Ho Wan
We started our day with the famous Michelin Star Dim Sum at Tim Ho Wan 添好運 in Hong Kong. There are a few branches in Hong Kong. We visited the one at Sham Shui Po nearest to our hotel.
This map is taken from Google Map and I try to show its location from Sham Shui Po MTR station. We walked to Mongkok MTR station from our hotel, took MTR to Sham Shui Po Exit B2. It's quite a few streets away from the MTR station though.
|From Google Map
Nearest MTR station: Tsuen Wan Line, Sham Shui Po, Exit B2
Opening hours: 8am-9.30pm daily
You will know you are there when you see this big sign on the street!
We thought it opened at 10am and we got to queue for a long time. But it was already opened when we arrived at about 9am and there was no queue at all. We got seats immediately! And the menu was given.
Being not the foodie type, haha, I wasn't really aware of the 4 heavenly king from Tim Ho Wan. But we did order their famous Baked Bun with BBQ pork 酥皮焗叉烧包. It comes 3 pieces in a set and this was one of my favourite!
There were 3 items from what we ordered that left a really good impression. Until now, I still can't help thinking about it. :) One of them was the BBQ pork buns above. The other was the Steamed Egg Cake (香滑马来糕). It was very soft and had a very strong and nice caramelized sugar taste in it. It was unforgettable!
We ordered a variety of dim sum from the menu. My third favourite was the Pan Fried Turnip Cake (香煎萝卜糕). Cos the texture was different from Singapore's one, soft and QQ. Most of the other dim sum are nice too.
Vermicelli Roll
Osmanthus Cake
The Glutinuous Rice Dumpling was probably the most disappointed one for me. It was tasteless and very little ingredients wrapped inside.
Overall, the meal was good! We spent only HK$264 (~S$44) for so many items. Do give it a try if you go Hong Kong!
Tai Yuen Street (Toy street)
After the meal, we weren't very sure where to go. So I suggested Toy Street, should be quite fun for the kids. Took the MTR to Wan Chai Station Exit A3. The Toy Street, Tai Yuen Street (太原街) is just across the road.
Not much photos here as we were busy exploring the shops and stalls along the streets. After getting some toys, the kids were tired and went back to the hotel for their nap. So I took the chance to explore elsewhere. Guess where I'm going? :)

11 Steps Towards A Niche Market With Google Adwords
Icchit S 5 Min Read
In a generic world of selling ideas and products, if you are one of those people making a foray into niche markets, wondering how to leverage the power of internet and internet based technology. Google Ad-words may just be what you are looking for.
Being in a niche industry, selling a niche product or an idea is not such a bad thing, as long as its marketed the right way and reaches out the to the potential consumer. A potential consumer is one whose willing to convert or buys into your idea or product.
In fact all new ideas may be called niches because they address a specific mindset. If the mindset catches on it becomes a mainstream idea. So the potential for growth in such a sector is theoretically vast.
Steps to a Niche:
1. Figure out your customer
Niche markets are a calculated risk, one that should be played out well and researched well in advance before making a foray into it.
2. Customer segments are the key
Its not enough to understand the basic segmentation. It's always good to know the nitty gritties of a niche market.
3. Fill in the gaps left by others
Just meeting the requirements of the customer in a niche market isn't going to cut it. Close potential gaps in your service. Have a strong unique selling proposition.
4. If the space is small, be sure there will be people pushing and shoving for it.
Contrary to the belief that only large generic markets a fiercely competitive. If vying for floor space is your thing, then make sure you place service before anything else. This quality will set you apart from the rest of the clutter.
5. Leveraging the power of Google Ad-words
Ad-words can help in this respect immesely. Since we are looking at small niche markets. Since Ad-words is keywords specific, it gives you the power to reach an intended audience and consumer in a much better fashion versus other channels such as social media.
6.Using AdWords
Using AdWords for making a foray into niche markets, means having the flexibility to channelize the focus on your intended product, at the same time keeping a close tab on your budget.
7. Reverse engineering, back to the drawing board
Like in any business its vital to know what the competition is up to. Especially since smaller market space can be quite competitive. Knowing your competition and their offering gives you an edge. having an edge is simply not enough, maintaining it by tweaking your market penetration strategies is the key to keeping a firm foot.
8. The no-mans land scenario
If you are one of those people whose about to set up a niche or are thinking of venturing into a small market space, beware of the "coast is clear" sign. One may feel privileged when, one does not encounter competition. This is great if your profits keep pouring in and you really have a hands down monopoly, or if you really are the only player in the market. Its always a good idea to keep a weather eye on the horizon. Keep a tab on the competition, having other players in the sector means that the sector has a healthy potential for developing further.
Sometimes, if you notice no ads, beware that the market may be too small, or it may be so that there are simply not enough numbers to make it count.
9. Reverse engineering continues
Look for higher search volumes from critical keyword searches. It is indicative of a potential audience and numbers waiting to be converted.
The potential for such keyword searches, can be gauged by number of advertisements in Ad-words, where the phrase or keyword occurs in one or the other form. The longer the advertisements with similar keywords keep running the better are your chances of playing around with combinations of keywords and phrases, in order to capitalize on the existing popularity based on the search statistics.
10. Think again. Look again
If there are no advertisements featuring the keyword or the niche, there is the possibility that information is more freely available or through other marketing channels. It may also reflect the current market awareness of the niche. The number of competitor advertisements on AdWords, may also be used as an indicative marker. It helps figure out what kind of money can be made in that niche.
Checkout the services and products that others are offering, in order to know what people are already buying, or what is missing or even how you could fill in gaps and reshape the niche completely. This may help with future product creation and positioning of the existing ones.
If it is not freely available, it may be the next big money making idea.
Free material is not always good material. So peddle the idea of a fair price for good quality.
11. Watch out for these basic strategies
Average CPC: This will tell you what the competition is willing to pay to be listed. This will give you an idea of how to strategically position your products.
A high average CPC with 1 to 10 competing advertisements should be a good situation.
A focused search in a larger niche may yield better results. An existing market is easier to tap, but building one from scratch takes time and patience. So it depends on what kind of niche market you decide to venture into. Good research and selling strategy is the key to advertise with a wonderful platform like ad-words.
Remember, every business is a unique model one may resemble the other, but there is no one size fits all. So work hard, be honest, and be flexible.

The "no-mans land" scenario could be how you describe it, but it could also simply be an opportunity for an advertiser. The smart thing is to run the ads, measure the results, and react accordingly.
Icchit S /
Thank-you for your inputs Frank.

Thanks for ur Niche Market With Google Adwords Article! very informative.
Icchit S /
Thank-you for your appreciation Kumar.
Adwait /
This article is really going to be a lot helpful. Do you think these steps are applicable to B2B as well as B2C adwords campaigns?
Icchit S /
Adwait, it all really boils down to the kind of product or service you are selling. These pointers are not hard and fast, you always have room to innovate. If you look at it from a business model point of view, the context would matter before you could implement any strategy.

A hotbed of infidelities and illicit desire in County Cavan
THE ADULTERESS Noelle Harrison (Macmillan, €17.15)
Cavan is not often mistaken for a hotbed of illicit desire but in Noelle Harrison's The Adulteress it is the backdrop for infidelities and primitive passions that span three generations.
The trail of adultery also leads the narrative across the Irish Sea to Blitz-ridden London and to Milan.
For all this, and Harrison's own description of the book as an "erotic ghost story", those expecting a steamy bonkbuster will be disappointed. The ghost in question, June Fanning, is less seductive than comforting, filling the rural Cavan cottage of Nicholas Healy with the smell of freshly-baked apple pie and his ear with marital advice.
Nicholas has left behind an adulterous wife in Dublin, and is sinking into a mire of anger and loneliness in his self-imposed exile. His modern-day tale of betrayal and longing is intertwined with the history of June, an Englishwoman who came to live in his cottage in 1941 as her Irish husband decides to join the British war effort.
Harrison (who is English but has lived here for years) has a nice eye for emotive detail: June's sense of abandonment is perfectly captured by a pair of her departed husband's socks "screwed up into two little black balls on the floor".
At times though, the descriptive passages thwart the momentum of the book. And the incessant references to apples as a metaphor for lust and temptation can be wearying.
Harrison gives the reader something more subtle to chew on in her thoughtful take on the vagaries of the human heart. Adultery is not painted in black and white: this is no 'somebody done someone wrong' song. It might seem easier at first to empathise with June's gentle classics scholar father over her brittle temptress mother but the plot slowly peels away these impressions to reveal a more complex truth.
A cynic might see the peppering of the text with the legends of the ancient classics as an attempt to elevate the book above the niche of romantic fiction. In fact, the story of Julia Caesar, banished to an island for her politically-charged infidelity, has resonance in Harrison's depiction of adultery as a crime with victims on all sides.

Many hearing the word think it means to poop, but in this context, it is what happens to some post-gastric bypass folks when they ingest sugar and/or liquid milk (pure sugar to many bodies) products.
The short version is that sugar goes in, the body says, "What the hell?!?" and tries to dilute it by grabbing fluid from all over the rest of the body's cells and tissues as well as heaving out a buttload of insulin to tame it all and the human being attached feels like CRAP for anywhere between 15-45 minutes (in an early dump). Late dumpers might not feel the experience for a couple three hours after the sugar goes in.
I get a tad of both. Aren't I lucky?
Technical explanations for those that care can be found here and a great list of symptoms here.
I figured out why I was so dizzy and nauseous and faint-y during those fasting days. It wasn't just because of the low calorie count, but because I was dumping!
Slim-Fast - 90% sugar! (hyperbole, but probably not much)
I have always dumped since the RNY gastric bypass, but usually it hits me like a slam of discomfort and exhaustion. I often feel like I am going to sleep after eating, a sure sign that I have eaten far too much for my little pouch. Those that know me, know I tend to lay my head down on the table and say how tired I am after a meal. Do you think that would teach me to not eat so much? Of course not.
The worst dump I ever did was at my 5-star favorite restaurant about 6 months after the surgery. Sipping specially-made cream of mushroom soup, my head began swirling around the room and I careened towards the bathroom, the manager (who knows me well) followed me seeing something was terribly wrong. I really thought I was going to die. My body fell onto the (happily) clean floor (I didn't give a whit at the time) and I melted into the cool stone tiles. I could hardly breathe and within minutes, EMS personnel were surrounding me, asking if I was diabetic and could they give me a shot of insulin. My speech was slurred, but I drooled out that I was dumping and to PLEASE not give me insulin; that would send me into shock. Not sure what to do, they took my blood pressure and sat with me as I wanted to die right there under the toilet.
15 minutes later, I began coming out of the haze of insulin over-load and begged them to let me shit in private. I sat on the toilet for half an hour as all the fluids that had rushed out of my body's cells to dilute the sugars began their exit. I sat with my head on my knees, listening as EMS yacked about the night ahead and didn't all that restaurant food smell good. Mmmm. Food scents mixed with poo poo. Yum.
I've dumped good with other foods, too, but nothing like that one. Rich, rich ice creams are the worst regular foods I dump with. Cold Stone or Marble Slab ice cream - bad, bad, bad.
People ask what it feels like and the best way I can explain dumping is like having 5 days of the flu rolled into about 45 minutes of time.
When people are going to have a gastric bypass, some choose other surgeries because of RNY's sometime side effect of dumping. Most other weight loss surgery options don't include dumping. I, on the other hand, found the prospect of dumping fascinating and I begged the universe to bestow it on me so I could have some negative reinforcement lest I eat the wrong foods. Only about 40% or so have dumping after gastric bypass; I wanted to be in that 40%.
Being the sick compulsive eater that I am, I knew any help the surgery could offer would be good for me.
I was very happy I got dumping, even if I had to lay my head on dirty bathroom floors every once in awhile.
What's so amusing about it, though, is I still eat even when I know I'm going to dump! It's the stupidest thing, really. I make sure I will be home or going home shortly before eating something that will make me ill. I try to do that anyway. Otherwise, I'll know I have to go lie down somewhere to quick nap it off.
So, that whole week of Slim-Fasting was a bust on my body's guts. Good thing I decided to forego anymore of it, eh?
Let's hear it for Weight Watchers! I haven't dumped once since starting.
See me smiling?

A CHORISTER who contracted mouth cancer is rejoining her choir after surgeons rebuilt her tongue.
Marlene Gaunt, a soprano with the all-women Phoenix Singers, lost a third of her tongue when the growth was removed. Surgeons at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, rebuilt it with tissue, blood vessels and a section of artery from her forearm.
Eleven weeks after the operation, Mrs Gaunt, a widowed grandmother in her sixties, is not only talking normally but practising to rejoin her 25 colleagues in the choir in Swaffham, Norfolk.
"Just having the ability to speak again is a miracle to me," she said yesterday. "It is even more remarkable that I am getting my singing voice back. I can already hit top A and want to be back with the choir by July."
Just before Christmas Mrs Gaunt noticed what she thought was an ulcer on her tongue. It was diagnosed as cancerous and she was referred to Leo Cheng, a consultant surgeon at Addenbrooke's.
In a 12-hour operation, Mr Cheng and his team conducted delicate micro-surgery to replace the portion of tongue they had removed and connect new veins to her neck. After regular sessions with a speech therapist, Mrs Gaunt began to regain her voice and sense of taste.
"I sounded a bit like Marlon Brando in The Godfather when I left hospital," she said. "Now my speech is improving by the day. I am just so grateful to Mr Cheng. He is an absolutely wonderful man."
Mr Cheng said: "Mrs Gaunt was a great patient and it is wonderful that she is on her way to singing again."

Accounting is listed by the South Carolina Department of Commerce as one of the 'Hot Jobs' in the state. Between the years 2012 and 2022, the number of jobs available to accountants in South Carolina is expected to grow by 12 percent, translating to more than 3,000 new accounting positions during that period.
In 2014, the top industries to employ accountants in South Carolina were leisure, technology, security, and investment and banking, according to the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
The South Carolina Board of Accountancy licenses qualified candidates interested in becoming certified public accountants. Qualifications include completing 150 semester hours of formal education resulting in a bachelor's degree at minimum, gaining a year of public accounting experience, and passing the Uniform CPA Exam.
With most bachelor's programs consisting of just 120 semester hours of college credit, earning a master's in accounting provides the additional credit hours in advanced accounting coursework required for CPA licensure in South Carolina.
Public accounting firms in South Carolina, such as "Big Four" CPA and professional services firm, Deloitte, which has locations in both Columbia and Greenville, as well as PricewaterhouseCoopers, with an office in Spartanburg, are the obvious choices for CPAs interested in providing external audit and management consultation services. CPAs also often establish independent practices or work for one of the many local or regional firms in the state.
The headquarters of specialty nonprofit fund accounting software producer, Blackbaud, is located in Charleston and is a major local employer of cost and capital accountants, as well as fund accountants. Accountants also hold titles like financial control officer and budget analyst in which they work for industry giants like AREVA Federal Services, a nuclear engineering company that has a branch office in Aiken. These positions involve everything from mitigating risk and enhancing profits to adhering to federal compliance requirements.
In South Carolina, businesses are growing, and that means the field of accounting is growing as well. Accounting was recently named as one of the top 50 fastest growing professional fields in the state, according to the South Carolina Department of Workforce and Labor Intelligence. That's why South Carolina's accountants and auditors hold nearly 8% of all jobs in the state, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Accountants in South Carolina earned an average salary of $59,240 in 2014 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The range of salaries in the state is broad, however. In metropolitan areas, salaries tend to be higher than the state average. Accountants in both Greenville and Sumter earn an average salary of just above $66,000 a year. Anderson-based accountants in the 90th earning percentile earned an average of $95,080 in 2014.
Robert Half, Inc. provides salary data for accounting positions throughout South Carolina. In 2015, forensic accountants in Charleston made an average salary of $85,095, while internal auditors who worked for large corporations in this city earned up to $98,812. Accountants who have CPA licenses typically earn much higher salaries.
Controllers at small Greenville based firms earned between $72,514 and $96,990 in 2015, according to the Robert Half 2015 Salary Guide for Accounting and Finance. CFOs in Columbia earned an average salary of $353,898 a year in 2015.
Accounting Salaries in South Carolina Cities and Non-Metro Areas
Salary ranges for accountants in South Carolina depend largely on location. Accountants working in urban settings tend to have a larger clientele, and make more money as a result.
The following table shows a full analysis of salary data for accountants and auditors in South Carolina as reported by US the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2014.
Tax Preparer Salaries in South Dakota
The average salary for tax preparers in South Carolina was $31,230 in 2014. The numbers in urban areas tended to be higher, with Greenville showing salaries within the range of $36,240 to $57,570.
The following table shows a full analysis of salary data for tax preparers in South Carolina as reported by US the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2014.
South Carolina's House of Representatives is hoping to attract online retailer, Amazon.com, to the state to open a distribution center in hopes that it will create 2,000 new jobs locally. To that end, they are proposing that Amazon.com receive a five-year exemption from collecting state sales tax on purchases made by residents of South Carolina. It is estimated by state legislators that the planned distribution center could bring $1.7 billion to the state over the next decade. The bill that allows the exemption has gone to Governor Nikki Haley's office for her approval.
Another bill currently awaiting approval by the governor concerns a reduction of unemployment taxes that employers are obligated to pay, which contribute to unemployment benefits paid to laid off workers. The bill proposes an 18 percent tax cut for employers. It would reduce unemployment benefits from 26 weeks to 20 weeks and would render seasonal employees ineligible for unemployment benefits.

After weeks of trying to come up with a more exciting name I've settled with the VERY interesting name of…
Weekly worship lyrics
Well, it does the job doesn't it?
This may just be me but I often find myself singing along to worship lyrics without actually thinking about their true meaning and it's such a rewarding process to actually stop and think about the words your singing.
Words of praise carry power; they are the words that stir our spirits and help us connect to our Saviour.
I've been thinking about how certain lyrics apply to my life, how they make me feel and how they challenge what think and believe.
I decided to kick of the series with Hillsong's 'you have no rival, you have no equal' from their track 'What a Beautiful Name'.
It's certainly a catchy tune, I found myself humming it for weeks after I first heard it. But it's more than a well-written song. It's full of powerful declarations about our Lord, and my favourite is that God has 'no rival' and 'no equal'.
But what do those words actually mean?
A quick google search later…
Rival– a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.
Equal– a person or thing that is the same as another in status or quality.
God has the highest authority and status, and the lyrics are a reminder of his sovereignty and power.
BUT I think they also challenge us to ask ourselves… is that how we're treating Him?
When you pray, do you talk to him like He has no rival?
When you worship, do you act like He has no equal?
If we believe that God has complete authority when we pray, we'll be coming to him with BIG prayers, scary prayers. What's your expectancy level?
If you're convicted that God can do the unexpected, not only will you start asking, you'll start preparing for big things to happen in your life.
That promotion, that grade, the Uni place you're desperate for, a broken relationship to be healed- whatever you're praying for, it's NO RIVAL for God. He is greater, stronger and above the stresses and anxieties gripping you.
Not only is God greater than the bad things in our life, it's also important to remind ourselves that the good things in our life are not equal to God.
This one is something I feel most challenged by, because there are SO many distractions today, fighting to steal our attention. Things that can appear positive can actually harm us if they are taking our eyes and hearts off of God.
I often find that I need to do a priority check and ask myself what I'm placing most importance over in my life… why not take a few minutes to do the same? Have a think about what's motivating you, and what the main desire of your heart is.
No matter where you are on your journey with Jesus, please know that He adores you. The reason He wants us to treat him as our first love, with no rival or equal, is so that we can have the healthiest and most satisfying relationship with Him.
It's a process though and we all fail (me- pretty much daily) so just rest in Him, make some time to get to know Him better and start praying BIG prayers.
Let me know in the comments what worship songs you've been listening to recently 🙂
Lots of love to you friends,

Scamming buyer got Macbook for free
my wife sold a new mac book air to a person in Australia for $1365. including free shipping. The one she sold it too gave her an address in Indonesia to send the macbook air too. He sent four emails confirming where he wanted it sent. After he paid my wife, she transferred her money to her bank account before shipping. Once she shipped it, she gave the tracking number too the buyer, the buyer then called paypal and said we sent the laptop to the wrong place, so paypal without investigating gave this scammer back all of the money and debited my wife's paypal account $1365.
Paypal sided with the scammer despite us sending all the emails from the buyer requesting were to send the laptop. Paypal still sided with the scammer,The scammer got my wife's laptop for free and got all his money back. So my wife did not pay back paypal, they began with non stop harassing calls seven days a week including early Sunday mornings, the only way they stopped was we changed our phone numbers.
Two years later I sold something on ebay for $645. After I shipped the item when I tried to transfer the money paypal froze my funds, when I called and asked them why they are not letting me get my money that is mine, they told me they linked my account with my wife's and told me I will never have access to those funds until I pay the $1365 my wife owes, this is very frustrating and we have four kids and really need the money to pay bills, I don't believe this is legal when I called them, a lady I talked too was extremely rude and nasty she told me I will never get those funds this is my account not my wife's.
Paypal act like Nazis and always side with the scammers and are very rude and nasty to honest people trying to make a buck, they were very disrespectful and treated us like criminals. They are a horrible business and I hope everyone reading this will change to a different pay venue before one day you have a lot of money in your account and for no reason will not be able to access what is rightfully yours as far as I'm concerned they are thieves and by freezing my account they are not allowing me to access money I earned and my paypal account has nothing to do with my wifes account if every body boycotts paypal we as a group can screw them the way they have screwed us and many many others. Boycott them before you become their next victim.

Blame your wife buddy. Policies on paypal specifically state not to send to any other address then the one that was provided by paypal. Including addresses provided by the buyer. Who ships anything to indonesia anyways? Dont blame payapl for your wife not folliwing simple guidelines on this one. Emails cant be used as proof of anything by any fraud investigation company. Emails can be easily faked and made up. You need valid tracking showing you sent the item to a designated address. Its states it all on the website.
Wow, sorry to hear that your wife fell for that scam.

|Co-ords have pretty much dominated the summer just gone. It feels so weird to write that. Not about coords being popular but summer now being over. Whilst we're clinging onto 20 degree temperatures this week, it's September and for those in fashion it marks the start of autumn/winter. Nights are drawing in and digging out your chunky boots is becoming more and more acceptable by the day.
So whilst temperatures are still in positive figures I thought I'd show you my new favourite coord - shocker - it's black, but that also makes it perfect for different occasions.
|It's both work and play appropriate and has that dressed up feel without looking over-dressed. And as separates they make great wardrobe staples. Come colder weather the top would be better suited with cigarette trousers or jeans whilst the shorts can be layered over thick tights and winter boots.
On a side note, the hand and hair holding wasn't on purpose - the day I shot these it was ridiculously windy and any without my hand looked like I was the girl out of the ring - #FASHIONPROBLEMS
Coord: boohoo

The rode to dishonor in office can end in this committee, in this room, on this very day, What an impeachment is, of course, is the single device to remove from the office the chief executive who you decide is constitutionally disqualified to serve, and by doing so, overturn two national elections. (Quote by - Abbe Lowell)
Somebody has to be able to negotiate. The sub-committee cannot. It is the sub-committee's recommendation that the court consider leasing facilities. The sub-committee did not discuss if it was the best option, but we believe it is an option. The need to alleviate the problems in some of the offices is approaching an emergency. (Quote by - John Davis)
Congressional support for the C-17 remains strong in all four Defense committees. We've provided cost information to the Air Force at their request for options as high as 60 additional C-17s. (Quote by - Dave Bowman)
Brought his notes and his requests, and he thanked the members of the committee. (Quote by - Issam Ghazzawi)
We are elated that the Senate Judiciary Committee today saw the wisdom in coming up with a bill which could provide agriculture with the means to survive as an industry in the foreseeable future, namely a viable guest worker program. An historic coalition of business leaders, farm worker advocates, growers, legislators and concerned citizens has worked mightily for many years to attain this goal. Today was a landmark day for everyone in our industry. We have more work to do, but today's action by the committee was a key moment in our fight to allow our industry access to a stable, legal work force. (Quote by - Tom Nassif)
Given Cheney's background on national security going back to the Ford years, his time on the House Intelligence Committee, and as secretary of defense, Bush said at the top of his list of things he wanted Cheney to do was intelligence. In the first months of the new administration, Cheney made the rounds of the intelligence agencies - the CIA, the National Security Agency, which intercepted communications, and the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency. (Quote by - Bob Woodward)
I currently serve as the chairman of the state's appropriations committee. I work with the state's $40-billion budget. This is a unique opportunity for Ellis and Hill counties to have the chairman of the appropriations committee representing them. I've strived to get a handle on illegal immigration and if re-elected I will find a solution to school funding and lower the property tax. (Quote by - Jim Pitts)
The No No Committee is concerned and will be reviewing whether the commissioners have violated Texas law. (Quote by - Bob Randall)
For me it's a great honor I think the president of the Chinese Olympic Committee chose me to encourage me and reward me because I have done a lot for my country through my results in sports. (Quote by - Yang Yang)
This is one of those circumstances where you have a particular committee chairman, in this case Chairman Bob Ney of the House Administration Committee, who simply does not believe that there is an issue there. (Quote by - Patrick Eddington)
The decision before the committee was whether the conduct in the case violated NCAA bylaws. And to that, the committee obviously has a great deal to say. (Quote by - Josephine Potuto)
Because the donor of these funds has admitted to activities which are illegal and which we deplore as detrimental to our form of government, the executive director of the Rely On Your Beliefs will recommend that the board donate these funds to a charity. (Quote by - Burson Taylor)
I am ready to face all my accusers, and there will be an investigation committee that will clarify everything. These accusations are politically motivated. (Quote by - Bayan Jabr)
Congress has to take a role in terms of intelligence that is unlike anything they do in any other authority, and that is to work without reference and without reference to who's getting more of the [pork] barrel and to work in a very positive way. There's great jealousies between the intelligence committees and the defense armed services committees. That shouldn't exist. (Quote by - Burton Gerber)
There will be a very full agenda and the committees will be very busy, I think if Members come back to this session, looking to work on behalf of Canadians instead of, as the Conservatives continue to indicate, looking for an opportunity to defeat the government, if they, in fact, focus on working on behalf of Canadians and making this Parliament work, there's lots on the agenda. There's lots of legislation to pass and we certainly look forward to that. (Quote by - Tony Valeri)
There was some movement on the part of the company in insurance premiums and deductibles, as well as caps on premium costs. Boeing offered the establishment of a committee to find ways to reduce retiree health care costs for future hires. (Quote by - Bob Wood)
A committee is a group of the unprepared, appointed by the unwilling to do the unnecessary. (Quote by - Fred Allen)
In our deliberations, it became clear that Erskine Bowles was uniquely qualified among our applicants. Holding another round of interviews would have been superfluous, He emerged as the committee's sole finalist and support among the search committee was unanimous. (Quote by - Bradley Wilson)
The Senate Judiciary Committee has been hard at work for over a month on comprehensive immigration reform. No bill before the committee proposes blanket amnesty. Border security is our main priority. We are working to merge the best of several proposals, and hopefully we can all agree that we must protect our borders, enforce the law, provide legal means for people to work in the United States, and fix a broken system. (Quote by - Sam Brownback)
A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours. (Quote by - Milton Berle)
This vote demonstrates that the AEIF stands united in its determination to secure an equitable labor agreement with AK Steel. The executive committee will continue negotiating with AK Steel to achieve that result. (Quote by - Brian Daley)
We think we did enough. But it's up to the committee. (Quote by - Acie Law)
We hope that we will have some continuity for the decision-making process. What I envision is a tremendous amount of the design to come from the schools' staff. And taking staff, administrators and people from the community, and then taking members of the committee and injecting them into those committees. (Quote by - Scot McNeley)
It's in a bad state and, possibly, it won't give us the information we need. Both boxes will be sent to Paris where a French committee will help us and the foreign experts that are here to decode. (Quote by - Akrivos Tsolakis)
It is important to remember that the economic impact of Hurricane Katrina is harming much more of U.S. agriculture than producers in those three states, As the Senate and House Appropriations Committees prepare to address this natural disaster, we urge you to include emergency disaster assistance for farmers and ranchers. (Quote by - Bob Stallman)

This story will sleigh you: Reindeer safe after taking detour
Call them Dasher and Prancer.
It was just 12 days before Christmas when the latch on a trailer carrying two reindeer came unhitched on northbound Interstate 45 near Bay Area Boulevard, according to Webster Police Chief Ray Smiley.
Before the driver could stop, the trailer's gate popped open, the reindeer leaped out and dashed across both the freeway and a feeder road to a nearby Metro Park and Ride lot - perhaps to catch a ride to the North Pole?
The restless reindeer kept his department busy, said Smiley, who sent three or four officers to help.
"We did get several phone calls," the chief said. "The first couple we didn't believe."
Officers blocked the road so the reindeer wouldn't get hurt if they ran back onto the feeder road.
They were eventually corralled safely by a woman accompanying the trailer's driver, identified as the owner of a petting zoo.
Smiley said he's glad the reindeer weren't injured in Wednesday's ordeal.
"Christmas goes on," the chief said.

Like when we looked at the GTX 660 Ti overclocking ability pre-launch we don't have the ability to adjust voltage at the moment. We're not sure if it's going to be like that for all GTX 660 based video cards or over the next week or two we'll get an updated version of MSI Afterburner that will bring with it the ability to adjust voltages.
There's not a whole lot of detail we need to go into so we'll get into the swing of things pretty quickly. Below we'll take a quick look at how we went with the overclocking side of things. Once we've done that we'll quickly cover our testbed, the cards that we'll be using in our graphs today and then we'll just get into the performance side of things to see what the overclock we managed to achieve today does for overall performance.
With numbers that currently sit extremely close to the GTX 580 and HD 7870, it will be interesting to see what kind of overclock we manage to achieve while also see what kind of boost the overclock gives us. So without going on much more let's quickly cover the specification side of things before we get into the test system setup and the benchmarks.

In Case You Needed More Evidence
Consider this simple and blingy card:
So much fun! These layered seahorses from Hero Arts look awesome in blues and greens, and the black label sentiment stands out nicely. But it's really the bling that brings this card together.
Consider the BEFORE photo:
Yep. It doesn't work, does it? Well, it doesn't help that the hello label isn't placed correctly and bisects the blue seahorse (poor baby!), but still. I hadn't attached it yet and just took this pic to show the difference between pre- and post-bling.
Are you convinced yet?
Now, I can practically hear you asking, "Why did you place the bling where you did, Susan?" I'm so glad you asked!
Several things went through my mind. First, having just two seahorses, identical except for color and slightly staggered, is a challenge. I wanted the bling to show a relationship between the two. It's nearly impossible to tell in the photo, but there are aqua green and blue rhinestones mixed up here. Plus, the fact that the seahorses face the same direction doesn't create much movement. I wanted the bling to create that movement as implied bubbles between the two animals. The five rhinestones are arranged in a very acute triangle with three clustered low in a triangle of their own.
Bling-placing trick: When placement really matters as much as it does here, I tend to cut the backing sheet of the rhinestones and move the little pieces around to see what works best. It's great because you don't have to commit to sticking them down, but you can still get the general effect.
And that's all I have to say about that.
For now.
Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
stamps: Hero Arts Color-Layering Seahorses; My Favorite Things Label Maker Sentiments
paper: Papertrey white
ink: various Archival and Hero Arts inks
accessories: rhinestones, dimensionals

Awesome card - and the bling really does make it. Thanks for the tip - I have a hard time visualizing things without actually seeing it.ReplyDelete
N.I.C.E. because the bling looks like little water bubbles floating ever so gently around those softly moving seahorses.ReplyDelete
Love your card, the bling is just right as is the snetiment, now. I struggle really struggle as to where to place the sentiment and the bling. I think my style is pretty CAS not fully CAS but not all layers but still not sure on that idea of where things should be placed. I tend to like colouring, so the image comes first, sadly most times before I even think of placement. Still so much to learn.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comments...I AM learning! :)ReplyDelete
I love it when you talk design! These things just don't come naturally to me and it's really useful to have it spelt out. I love the sea horses and yes the text placement and bling make. A big difference.ReplyDelete
Awesome card. Awesome lesson. ThanksReplyDelete
Yep, great save!ReplyDelete
And here I thought the bling was just for sparkle. I do really like it & I'm fascinated by your thought processes.None of it is familiar territory to me.ReplyDelete
Thank you for another design lesson. I always learn so much from you. Those sea horses are really pretty.ReplyDelete

Transfer news: Cardiff in talks with Ecuador winger Jefferson Montero
Cardiff City are in talks to sign Ecuador international winger Jefferson Montero, Sky Sports understands.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 27/08/13 2:17pm
A number of Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on the 23-year-old wide-man in recent months.
Now Cardiff are ready to push ahead with a deal for Montero, who is currently playing with Mexican outfit Morelia.
Montero is now in the process of obtaining a visa which will allow him to travel to Britain and undergo a medical, ahead of the proposed deal.
There are not expected to be any issues over obtaining a work permit as he has nearly 30 caps for Ecuador, who are ranked 17th in the world, just behind England.
It will be the second time in his career that Montero has played in Europe as he spent three seasons in Spain with Villarreal, Levante and Real Betis before heading to Mexico in 2012.

Here is a couple of songs that I just so happened to stumble upon, or somehow circled back into my listening rotation recently and are definitely worth checking out.
Here is a couple of songs that I just so happened to stumble upon, or somehow circled back into my listening rotation recently and are definitely worth checking out.
With the year winding up and everyone getting their two cents in about who did it the best, it is only right that we here at American Appetite get our swings in. Taking a look at the music that was put out this year we have compiled a list of the Top 50 songs from this past year. A brief caveat, I completely understand there are some glowing omissions from the list (Beyonce, David Bowie, Solange, etc.), well truth be told they don't get much airplay over here. I never said we were an equal musical opportunity provider, we do skew a bit more to the indie/alternative/rock area so that's why it may be a little heavy on that. Also the ranking is purely suspect at this point because you could really shuffle them around and I'd still be content. So without further ado, here is the Top 50 songs of 2016 courtesy of American Appetite.
**You can also find all of these on my special play list on Spotify: American Appetite Top 50 of 2016**

So there you have it folks, 2016 in a nutshell, well atleast to these ears. Bring on 2017!
The Hold Steady: Stuck Between Stations
With the Minnesotan boys laying up residency in Brooklyn Bowl this weekend it is only apt that while I am visiting the milieu that dots the landscape of their discography, that I kick off the weekend rright with one of their killer jams. Stuck Between Stations from the first riff is pulsing and potent, zapping your ears with an explosion of energy that never ceases until the amp is turned off. So grab yourself a double whiskey coke no ice, drink and dry up and crumble into dust.
Greater Pyrenees: Homemade Blood
While it may lack the pomp and bombast of most other Weekend Warrior cuts, Homemade Blood has that unmistakable driving beat that gets your engine running and propels you out into a night of wonderment. The first non "family" release on Brand New's own Procrastinate! Music Traitors label, Greater Pyrenees really deliver a good rhythmic motor, which is exactly what you need to keep you chugging along through a good weekend.
Passion Pit: Make Light
Those synthesizer masters from Boston really get things pumped up on this cut from their second album. A bright pulsating beat really gets you amped up for the oncoming night. So grab a drink, grab some friends, and make some light!
DJ Khaled: We Takin' Over (ft. Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Baby & Lil Wayne)
In honor of the birth/record drop of DJ Khaled this week I felt it was perfect to unleash one of the most electrifying songs in the past 20 years. Get together 5 of the hottest rappers in the game and throw Akon on the hook in a DJ Khaled jam and the moon is too close for where your night can take off when you get this joint bumping. Uhoh here comes another college pre-game flashback, I swore these would stop one day. Another one….
The Go! Team : Huddle Formation
I am going to start posting more high energy songs to get you over the top to get the party started if you are dangling on that edge and just need a push. In full disclosure this may act as an outlet for any new or old songs that just become stuck in my head and can't get out. With that being said let's start off with a little bit of an old pump up song that always works for me.
M83 : Midnight City
