eBay buys Shopping.com – Boon or Bust to Online Merchants?
My first reaction: This could be big
The players:
Largest online auction site where buyers bid to buy products. Arguably the most well-known e-commerce site with over 100 million registered users. Billions in sales are transacted here worldwide.
Shopping portal that helps shoppers find the least-expensive merchant to buy their desired product from. Shopping.com is one of the largest shopping portals on the Internet. They achieved success by implementing a model that allows online merchants to acquire targeted clicks from shoppers by paying a per-click fee.
eBay Sellers
Individuals, small businesses, and some larger businesses post products for auction on eBay, and also maintain "stores" within the eBay website where shoppers can make purchases without bidding. eBay sellers must maintain a presence on eBay to participate. This means that the shopper never leaves eBay to make a purchase, and the sellers must coordinate a system to process orders through eBay.
Online Merchants
Internet stores, large and small. Stores ranging from independent specialty stores like Surray Luggage, to huge mass-merchants like Amazon.com. Many online merchants do not do business on eBay because it requires them to maintain a separate store, which has both branding and logistical consequences.
What's happening?
eBay is buying Shopping.com for $620 million. Shopping.com's key assets include its product comparison technology, large network of product reviewers (formally EPinions.com), brand awareness, and of course, its advertisers.
eBay was originally founded as an online auction where individuals offered used (and sometimes new) products to the highest bidder. Over time, EBay has introduced services to allow merchants to sell directly to buyers through eBay stores that bypass the bidding process. Since everything is done through eBay, merchants are required to have a presence on eBay that is separate from their online store. In other words, the merchant must have two stores: Their current store, and their eBay store.
This could go one of two ways:
1) eBay could be buying Shopping.com to monetize its targeted traffic by sending eBay shoppers outside of EBay to the Shopping.com portal. In other words, they will funnel traffic from eBay to Shopping.com, which will then be funneled to the online merchants who currently advertise on Shopping.com.
– Upside to eBay: Increased advertising revenues.
– Upside to eBay Shoppers: Access to more products and increased price competition.
– Upside to Online Merchants: Access to the lucrative community of eBay shoppers.
– Downsides: eBay sellers will face increased competition.
2) eBay could be buying Shopping.com to simply enhance its value to both eBay shoppers and eBay sellers. Shoppers would benefit from the product reviews and price comparison technology that Shopping.com owns. Sellers would benefit from the enhanced shopping experience because demand for their products will further increase.
– Upside to eBay: Increased customer loyalty and listing fees.
– Upside to Shoppers: Better version of the service they're already comfortable with.
– Upside to Online Merchants: None. Many online merchants have been reluctant to establish an eBay presence because they'll have to maintain two separate stores.
– Downsides: Online merchants won't have the streamlined access they're looking for to reach the eBay community, and the value of advertising on Shopping.com would be diminished.
My Take
I can't imagine that eBay would spend $620 million on Shopping.com only to disband its network of online merchants who pay a lot of money to be featured there. Accordingly, my prediction is that eBay will maintain a version of Shopping.com's current advertising network where merchants acquire clicks from buyers (contrary to eBay's model where buyers never click to leave the eBay website).
If I'm right, eBay's acquisition of Shopping.com will be huge for advertisers. Advertisers will be able to advertise on Shopping.com like they always have. The only difference will be a massive influx of quality traffic from eBay.
I am concerned because eBay's press release only talks about creating an enhanced shopping experience for current buyers, and mentions the new opportunity for current eBay sellers. The press release does not mention Shopping.com's advertisers at all, which makes me question eBay's true motives. In other words, I may very well be wrong.
Bottom line: Watch this closely. eBay's acquisition could be a tremendous boon to online advertisers, opening up a fertile new market for online marketing. Or, eBay could be acquiring Shopping.com purely for its technology and product review network with the singular goal of enhancing eBay.com. If so, online merchants will be missing out on a big opportunity.
Online merchants should watch this very closely.

Construction and demolition go hand in hand! The process of demolition is not easy, and it requires adequate planning. Even though a demolition project can get completed within a day or two, it is essential to consider the many pros and cons attached to the project. Not every service provider specializing in demolition and construction services are fine-tuned to execute a plan at hand. And this is the reason why you need to invest in a quality service provider.
Today, you can search online and select from the best service providers that are listed. All you need to do is search for an ace company in your region. For instance, if you are presently in Brisbane, then you can explore the internet for an expert Brisbane demolition company and select the best one that suits your budget and requirements. If you are wondering how to choose the best company, you can keep the following pointers in mind:
- Decide your requirement first
Do you want to demolish the entire building? Or do you want to demolish a part of it? You need to decide on your requirement first. Complete demolition is easier than a partial one. When you are bringing down a house, the entire framework gets impacted. And in the case of partial demolition, it is essential to ensure that the foundation of the existing building is unaffected. Hence, once you decide on your requirement, it is easy for you to select a service provider having adequate experience on the type of demolition that you want.
- Research the internet
Every brand today has an online presence. Online business has become the way of the world. So all you have to do is search the web extensively and browse through the companies that are listed online. When you scan through a website make sure that the company has ample details about its specialisation areas and services provided so that you can select accordingly. A professional service provider will list down all the essential information like date of establishment, company mission, service provided, projects successfully executed and the like listed on their website.
- Check for client testimonials
A happy client will always be eager to share his experience with a concerned service provider online. If the website has no space for testimonials, then you can always check for Google reviews for feedback and client testimonials. It is essential to read all these testimonials to understand a company's efficiency in executing the demolition work. You need to take into account both the positive and the negative feedback and then make an informed decision.
- Communication always helps
Speaking to the potential service provider always helps! So once you have done all the research, you can quickly touch base with the potential service providers either through an email or by directly calling them up. Direct communication always helps you to assess the service provider better.
Last but least, you will have to bank on your instincts and judgment to make the final decision. But when you are searching for an experienced demolition service provider, the guidelines mentioned above can come to your help.

A new study released in October of 2010 by the American Association for Justice named eldercare abuse as a humanitarian crisis. The study delved into patient reports and complaints of elder abuse including a Florida resident who was a significantly notable victim of nursing home abuse. The report of his abuse included numerous incidents of injuries suffered in multiple falls, severe weight loss, pressure sores, a number of infections, problematic dehydration, and starvation which eventually led to his death.
Advocates fighting for the rights of the elderly place a portion of the blame on the way that the nursing home system is run. Many nursing homes operate much like an apartment building, but instead of individual single or multiple bedroom units, the "bed capacity" is what is rented. A large portion of the generated income is "guaranteed by the federal government" and paid for through programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
Private businesses like schools usually have a higher faculty to student ratio than public schools, but the opposite tends to be true in of for-profit nursing homes. In fact, the American Association for Justice report found that "for-profit nursing homes have an average 32 percent fewer nurses and 47 percent higher deficiencies." The cost-cutting has led to an increase in neglected or abused senior citizens. Critics of the system describe the problem as a "cost versus utility" societal issue. The level of care that the elderly require brings about a cost to the system and taxpayers that is higher than the amount of production that they can provide to society. The mentality, they say, has led to the significant instances of abuse and neglect.
Elderly neglect is a real problem that could become fatal if it continues to be ignored. Contacting a lawyer as soon as you suspect elderly abuse in a nursing home can save the life of a loved one. Contacting a lawyer can also help save other elderly lives as well. A Milwaukee disability and workers comp attorney can also handle elderly neglect. Be sure to contact a workers comp and disability attorney Milwaukee to report elderly abuse today before it's too late.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says Australia is still determined to send unarmed police to the MH17 crash site despite Ukrainian forces mounting a fresh offensive in the rebel-controlled area.
"We are determined to fulfil the promise that we made that we would bring our people (victims) home."
Eleven Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers on Sunday abandoned a planned site visit with a 38-strong Dutch team due to heavy shelling in eastern Ukraine.
"I would have rathered the mission went ahead today but the fighting had intensified so the correct decision was taken not to go in," Ms Bishop told AAP in Amsterdam.
• Federal police sent to MH17 crash site
• Family's grief at losing their loved one
"It sets us back a day but we are determined to fulfil the promise that we made that we would bring our people (victims) home."
Ms Bishop was speaking at Schiphol airport before flying to Kiev with her Dutch counterpart Frans Timmermans.
Asked if she was concerned about Ukraine's military action, Ms Bishop said: "We always knew there was a conflict between the Ukrainian military and the separatists."
"We had hoped that there would be an exclusion zone," she said.
"But it appears that fighting has in fact taken place within the exclusion and around Donetsk today. It's a very fluid situation."
The Australian and Dutch team remains in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk and on Monday will again attempt to travel to the crash site 60km away.
Canberra is relying on the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to negotiate access with the separatists.
Ms Bishop spoke with OSCE chairman and Swiss president Didier Burkhalter on Sunday.
Australia's special envoy to Ukraine, retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, is in touch with senior Ukrainian officials in Kiev.
The foreign minister said whether AFP officers travelled to the site was "a day by day proposition".
The contingent on the ground provides advice which is then considered by the national security committee.
"We knew it wasn't going to be easy but we are being very careful to balance the fact of the conflict with our need to get onto the site to carry out this humanitarian task of recovering bodies and remains," Ms Bishop said.
Canberra believes Sunday's fighting underlines the need for the Ukrainian parliament to ratify a deal that would allow Australia to send in a small number of armed police and soldiers.
The foreign minister has signed an in-principal agreement with her Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin.
Getting it finalised, however, has been complicated by the collapse of the ruling coalition and the resignation of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
"We will work very hard to have it ratified as soon as possible," Ms Bishop said on Sunday.
"(But) there may be a number of reasons why, logistically, the parliament can't be returned earlier (than Thursday as is currently scheduled)."
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Sunday said an international military mission to secure the MH17 crash site was "unrealistic".
"We concluded with our international partners that there's a real risk of such an international military mission becoming directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine," Mr Rutte told reporters in The Hague.
The conflict "would then acquire an international dimension that would lead to further escalation".
There are presently 170 unarmed AFP officers in Ukraine in Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kiev.

For those who suffer from OCD, you may not be able to stand all those streaks on your window, mirrors, and other glass fixtures. It doesn't matter how much elbow grease you put forth, it seems in the right light, there are still a bunch of streaks, right? Nadia's House Cleaning will cover the different ways and tips you can do to clean your glass fixtures, streak free.
Glass Cleaner Dilution Ratio
To start, when diluting your glass cleaners, the common mistake everyone does is mixing it with tap water. This is a mistake because tap water contains minerals. The minerals in tap water are what cause hard water buildup. When you add it to your cleaners you put those minerals on your glass. This is what causes streak on mirrors and window most often. To avoid this, use distilled water to dilute the cleaners. You will find this will help in preventing those pesky streaks to appear.
Vinegar All Purpose Window Cleaner
Vinegar is one of those all-purpose cleaners that no one should be without. Create a mixture of 50% water (distilled) and another 50% of vinegar. You can spray it on and wipe it off like any other cleaner. It is cheap and works great. The vinegar smell will linger for a short while but will dissipate over time. If you don't want the smell inside the house, this is still a great option for your outdoor windows.
Alcohol & Water to Clean Windows
Regular alcohol works great to give your glass a fresh clean look and keep it streak free. If you have a lot of build up from moisture and such, alcohol breaks it down and cleans the glass really well. It might take more than once to remove all the build up that can accumulate over time.
Clean Windows Without Paper Towels
Many cleaning professionasl will advise you to get rid of the paper towel when it comes to your glass cleaning routine. Paper towels leave tiny streaks regardless as to what cleaning solution you use. Instead use a micro-fiber cloth, or squeegee to wipe the cleaners away.
Dryer Sheet to Clean Shower Doors
Another surprisingly good tip for cleaning the glass in your bathrooms like mirrors, shower doors and the like is to use a dryer sheet. It's great for removing hard water and soap scum from your bathroom's glass fixtures.
Buffing your Glass
After cleaning the glass with your cleaning solution of choice and you still see unsightly streaks, use a dry micro-fiber cloth or a regular cloth. Both work well and will buff those streaks out of existence. Once it dries and you start to buff it, you will see the streaks disappear.

Cleaning glass is one of those pesky tasks no one wants to do. Most of us get tired of fighting those annoying streaks and give it up for lost. But there are ways to be streak free and calm your so called OCD. Nadia's House Cleaning wants you to consider these simple tips and see if you can keep your glass streak free and have that beautiful clean home you desire. Contact us for all your house cleaning and janitorial needs!
It happens to the best of us, the longer we live in a home, the subtle stains that we thought were getting cleaned with our regular maintenance will one day suddenly look like you never cleaned them a day in your life. The bathtub ring will suddenly yell at you the moment you walk in, the toilet ring that doesn't seem to come out with vigorous scrubbing that should itself overnight merely taunts you with your pathetic attempts, the thick residue of film that is dulling your tile, and the "oh no what's that?" on the grout is a common problem.
Nadia's House Cleaning Share Some Tips on Trying to Remove Some Stubborn Bathroom Stains
– Cleaning Tough Toilet Stains: With yellow rings near the rim, and brownish stains at the bottom, the toilet is more often adorned with stains that don't seem to want to budge. Mineral deposits from the hard water are often the contributing factor, but here is how we can get that toilet to sparkle. Shut of the water valve, flush the toilet, and if there is any lingering water, use a plunger to push it down the drain. Spray the entire bowl with your favorite all-purpose cleaner and start scrubbing with a hard-nylon bristled brush, wire will scratch the porcelain. Once the stains are scraped away, turn the water back and perform a courtesy flush to rinse it out. To keep it clean, be sure to conduct a weekly cleaning, and for more optimal results, a quick brush every day can keep the stains away.
– Clean Stains from Floor Tiles: Soap scum, mildew and mold can buildup and cause some staining. Avoiding serious elbow grease, keep up on the tile cleaning on a weekly basis. A quick wipe of the shower and backsplash areas after use can also help significantly. In the case of stubborn stains, find a grout and tile cleaning formula designed to cut through mildew and mold, also be sure that cleaner's label shows you what your specific tile material is safely used. Follow directions on cleaning usage.
– Removing Bathtub Stains: Bathtubs, including the faucets and fixtures are just as susceptible to hard water mineral deposit stains, as well the additional stains often discovered around the tub. Faucets and fixtures need to be treated with solvent solutions formulated to remove the buildup of lime deposits. Scrub with an exclusive cleaning toothbrush to get in the small crevices. Bathtub rings are also needed to be treated by the material used to construct your tub. Porcelain tubs need a generous sprinkling of an abrasive cleaner and scrub with a nylon brush. Enamel tubs need to be cleaned with a cleaner not containing bleach; bathroom surface cleaners are usually adequate. Acrylic tubs require a bit more cleaning maintenance than other materials, frequent cleaning is essential for a superior clean. Use a mild dish soap and hot water with a nylon scrub brush.

How to Keep Your Boston, MA Home Smelling Fresh & Good After Professional House Cleaning! Essential Oil Diffusers, Fabric Softener Sheets, Candles & More
Having a nice clean home is a great way to keep it from smelling bad but if you want the house to smell good you have to go one more step. The cleaner that is used to actually clean the house has a smell that is associated with clean but it does not actually have a pleasant smell. You can use a professional cleaning company to get your home clean and have it looking its very best. That is a great start but after they leave you want to take the next step to have the odors in the home from everyday living removed and something fresh in its place.
Nadia's House Cleaning Lists Ways To Get Your Home Smelling Great After Professional Home Cleaning.
Essential Oil Diffuser: One of the latest and greatest ways to add some nice scents to your home is to use an oil diffuser. This is a unit that you can purchase and plug into an outlet. You simply add a few drops of oil to the bowl that heats up. When the light bulbs heats the oil it lets off a nice smell that can go throughout the house. You can buy a plethora of oils in many different scents to make it fit what you like the best.
Fabric Softener Sheets: If you feel like your clothes are starting to smell dingy you want to add something to the dresser drawers to balance out the smell. You can use a dryer sheet that is usually scented and is what most people want their clothes to smell like anyway. Clothes can lose that just laundered smell over time after sitting in your drawers so you can slip a dryer sheet on the drawer bottom to add that smell that you love to associate with clean clothes.
Fragrant Candles: This is a great way to add a nice smell in your home. The candle business is huge and you can get all kinds of candle smells, shapes and sizes. They give off a nice potent smell that you can smell throughout the house when they are lit. The great thing is that you can control the smell by just lighting it when you want. The negative is that you have an open flame in your home that you want to be careful of and when you blow it out you will have that burning smell for a few minutes.
Make The Stove Top Simmer: You can use the stove top to make your own homemade potpourri in a pot. You can get out a pot and add some cinnamon sticks, oranges and cranberries to some water and set the burner on low. The water will start to simmer and when it heats up the smells from the pot emit from it and fill the house with that lovely holiday smell that we all adore.

Having a good night's sleep is as equally important as exercise and a healthy diet. Research has proven that poor sleep affects your bodily hormones, physical movement, and brain function. Bad sleep means a higher risk of sickness and eating more while good sleep means the ability to be more active and be healthier. Studies have shown that sleep quality has declined due to numerous factors and that many people get poor sleep. Here are some things to consider for better sleep at night.
Take Melatonin
One of the most common options is taking over-the-counter Melatonin, a key sleep hormone that signals your brain to relax and fall asleep. It is used to treat insomnia and one of the easier ways to fall asleep faster. Take one 1–5 mg pill an hour before heading to bed. Other sleep helping supplements include Ginkgo biloba, Magnesium, and Lavender. Use a relaxing body cream, one where the lotion seeps into the skin to soothe the entire body to get it to settle down in bed. A relaxing bath or shower can also help the body; other studies show new bedding can improve sleep as poor-quality bedding increases lower-back pain. So, buy a high-quality mattress every 5-6 years.

Avocado and Apricot Kernel Oils deeply and instantly quench compromised moisture reserves and help build a reservoir for tomorrow. While Japanese Seaweed helps repair skin's barrier to prevent future dehydration and signs of premature ageing. Use this mask overnight, it will not only moisturise your skin but also help you to relax and feel better about yourself!
Don't Sleep During Daytime
While short naps can be beneficial, long naps during the day can affect your sleep because it can confuse your internal body clock. It may think you are sleeping at night when it is daytime. Stop napping or shorten your naps during the day. The body's circadian rhythm works on a set loop to time itself with day and night, so get into a regular sleep/wake cycle. Try to wake up naturally at the same time every day so the body can continue at the same pace.
Drinking Alcohol at Night Could Affect Your Sleep and Hormones
… especially if you already have insomnia. Alcohol can cause the symptoms of sleep apnea, snoring, and disrupted sleep patterns. It changes the mind's nighttime melatonin production, a key role part in the body's rhythm. Late-night eating can also affect sleep quality and the release of bodily hormones and melatonin that helps lead to sleep. However, a high-carb meal a few hours before going to bed can help with sleep quality and the need to fall asleep. Caffeine also worsens sleep quality, especially if consumed around nighttime as they remain in the blood for 6–8 hours. Afford drinking anything caffeinated like coffee and soda.
Getting a good night's sleep is a very important thing to do overall for your health. A lack of it can do a lot of harm to many things you need. Everything you do on a daily basis is connected to having the best sleep possible. Getting your mind and body relaxed recoups any hours lost to no sleep and it gives our health a boost.

As the group winners, Bethel faced Cae Glyn's other team. Bethel started slowly with Cae Glyn scoring twice early on. Despite a series of corners and shot after shot Bethel failed to breach the defence and the scored finished 2-0 to Cae Glyn. However, a great day for the team.
Saturday 9 May 2015
Bethel B vs Llanrug
Llanrug visited Bethel to compete in the derby match. The Bethel team was again passing well and despite conceding early they responded strongly and improved as the game progressed, creating serveral chances. Two goals from Llyr and another from Liam clinched a deserved win.
In the second game, Llanrug again gained an early lead and although Bethel finished the strongest with a deserved goal from Gruff, the visitors held on to the win. Another solid performance from Bethel.
Friday 1 May 2015
Sunday 3 May 2015
Nantlle Vale vs Bethel B
A longish trip to Penygroes battling the Bank Holiday traffic was the first game this month. This was one of the best displays of the season with excellent passing and everyone supporting each other on the field. The training ground moves were in evidence as Bethel gained a deserved win. The scorers were Gruff, Nia, Liam, Iestyn and Llyr
The team returned to Penygroes on the following Sunday to compete in a tournament on CPD Nantlle Vale's pitch. Unfortunately, it was fairly dismal weather compared to Friday;s sunshine. The team played 7 games with two wins and 1 draw among the resuts. The scorers were, Iestyn (3), Llyr (2) a Jac. Feet up after a busy weekend.
February 27 v Waunfawr (A)
A difficult task for the team today with a number of the squad with Eisteddfod commitments and the squad depth was severely tested. The team raised their game, winning both games, 3-0 in the 1st game and then an outstanding 7-0 win to follow. The rest of the squad will have to battle to get their places back.
February 6 v Penrhosgarnedd (H)
Two close games this week against the team from Bangor. The 1st game was close with few chances and finished 2-2.
The players expressed themselves more in the second and the goals flowed. With the last kick of the game, Liam scored to secure the victory 5-4.
January 30 v Segontiwm (A)
Two solid wins today in a strong and cold wind at Hendre. It was Sion Morris who demonstrated a great example at the start of the game, giving 100%. The defence was solid and organised with Bethel keeping a clear sheet during both games. Scorers were Liam (5), Iestyn and Llyr (2 each).
January 23 v Maes y Bryn (H)
A tough game against Maes y Bryn this week with home advantage for the first time in months helping us achieve a draw in the first game before scoring a goal in the final second to win 4-3 in the second.
January 16 v Cae Glyn (H)
Two months had passed since our last game and as Bethe's pitch wasn't in the best of conditions the game was moved to Caernarfon to Cae Glyn's home pitch. AS a result the team started slowly with Cae Glyn scoring regularly. Bethel scored before the end and the early season form was more apparent, particularly on the second game when Bethel were victorious 3-2. Jac was man of the match today as he inspired and raised the team's enthusiasm in the second game with his non stop effort.
A total wash out during December with the weather putting a stop to all games this month. With the winter break now upon us, here are the statistics for the first half of the season
|Liam (21), Llyr (12), Iestyn (5), Nia (5), Jac (2), Sion Lewis (2), Gruff (1)
Happy Christmas to all of you!
November 28 v Llanberis (A)
We competed against a strong wind, heavy rain and cold (perfect football weather) on top of a strong Llanberis team this week. The focus was on attack, but unfortunately we left our own goal un-defended at times. Nevertheless some good goals were scored and both games finished level, 3-3 and 2-2. The scorers were Sion Lewis, Nia and Liam (3)
November 21 v Felinheli (H)
Three weeks had passed since the last game, but the enthusiasm shown by the team and the passing continued with everyone supporting each other. The first game finished level 2-2 and the second 4-3 in Bethel's favour against a Felinheli team that were strong across the park. There were goals for Nia, Iestyn and Liam (3). There was also a great defensive effort from Sion Morris as he slid across the Bethel goal to clear the ball for an opposition corner. Worth two goals alone!!
October 31 v Llandwrog (A)
A weeks holiday didn't impact the quality of the football and the team were victorious in two games against a promising Llandwrog team. The score in the first game was 4-3, with Liam and Llyr scoring two goal each. In the second game, the result was 3-2. Well done.
October 17 v Mynydd Tigers (A)
Two games in parallel this week with everyone in the squad playing throughout and the strength in depth clear with both teams controlling their respective games and securing two great wins.
It was 6-1 in one of the games with football of the highest quality being played and the goals shared among the team. Llyr (2), Liam (2), Nia a Sion Lewis. In addition, the goal fframe of the opposing had a tough morning as well!
It was 3-0 in the other game, with Bethel in their opponents half for most of the game. Jac and Iestyn (2) were the scorers with one of Iestyn's goals straight from the practice ground. A perfect corner from Gruff with a run into space by Iestyn before placing the ball with quality into the net.
October 10 v Waunfawr (H)
A great victory by 7 goals to 0 this week with the goals being shared amongst the team, 2 to Llyr and Nia, and 1 each for Gruff, Jac and Liam. In addition, Llyr scored a hat-trick in the second game, well done all.
October 3 v Penrhosgarnedd (A)
Bethel lost for the first time this season against Penrhos. Although we enjoyed the majority of the possession and created plenty of chances it was Penrhos who were victors by 3-1.
The pattern was the same in the second game, with Bethel seeing plenty of the ball and creating chances, but this time the deserved goal came with Liam playing like Ryan Giggs at his best and scoring 5!!!
September 19 v Maes y Bryn (A)
The season's challenges continue with a tough away fixture at Maesgeirchen this week but Bethel controlled large parts of the game. This time it was Maes y Bryn who made a comeback and the game finished level at 2-2. The scorers were Liam and Iestyn. Man of the match was Llyr for a goal in the second goal that is already being considered for goal of the season, with a lob over the defender straight into the net.
September 12 v Cae Glyn (A)
Exactly a year has gone by since the start of last season and it was Cae Glyn once again who were our opponents. Remembering our lack of goals and the amount we conceded a year go it was encouraging to see the improvement. Bethel started with a 2-1 win with Liam and Llyr scoring. Although Cae Glyn passed the ball around excellently, Bethel's persistence reaped the rewards. Despite Iestyn's best efforts defending the goal, Bethel were defeated in the second game.
September 11
The start of the season and Bethel warmed up with a series of games on Bangor's 3G pitch on Friday 11th September. Everyone had the opportunity to get over the lazy summer including the manager who had to ref 2 games!! Bethel played 5 games in total, drawing 3, loosing 1 (2-1) and winning one (2-1). The players still remembered how to pass and support each other and this was demonstrated during the last game of the evening with a great pass by Gruff to the Llyr's feet to find the net. It looks promising for the season (commentator's curse to followed perhaps??)
Welcome to the under 10's page and their season's exploits. Thanks to the managers and coaches for their work with the players.
Wednesday 30 September 2015
Bethel 4-0 Waunfawr
Scorers: Morgan Jones 2, Corey, Codey
Only 8 players were available for the Wednesday evening game!! The players had to play in unfamiliar positions but it worked out well as Bethel played some very good football. We're starting to get used to the bigger pitch now and are getting the ball moving well!!
Saturday 26 September 2015
Mynydd tigers 3 Bethel 1
Scorer: Corey
We'd hoped that the excellent win from previous week would have been continued against a strong tigers team, but the boys weren't at their best this morning! It was 1-1 at half time with neither team being able to control the game!! Corey was playing up front and scored for Bethel. Don't know what happened following the half time team talk but the boys lost their way during the second half!! There were some disagreements among the Bethel team and the tigers took full advantage with two good goals!!
Saturday 19 September 2015
A new season ready to go!!
Bethel 2 Bontnewydd 0
Scorers: Morgan Davies, Morgan Jones
The boys had to adapt to plating 7v7 on a bigger pitch. It was a good start to the season with an excellent win against Bont. The passing that had developed last season continued with good movement from the back through to the front!! Both Morgan's were on the scoresheet with good movement through the middle!! The bigger pitch showed at the end with the boys very tired.

Bethel 6 – Llandudno Junction B 4
Scorers: Aaron 3, Gruff, Shaun, Jestin
Another terrible day with rain throughout, and as it turned out, Bethel last game for some time. The conditions were difficult for both sides but it was a good competitive game with Bethel running out victorious 6-4.
Saturday 7 November 2015
Bethel 15 Llanllyfni 1
Scorers: Gethin, Gruff (3), Aaron (2), Jestin (3), Dion, Osian (2), Sion, Iwan (2)
The combination of poor weather and a heavy pitch made it impossible to carry the ball and forced Bethel to pass the ball around who produced one of the performances of the season.
Saturday 24 October 2015
Bethel 10 – St Asaph B 2
Scorers: Aaron 4, Lee 3, Jestin 2, Gruff
It was a truly autumn day that faced us this morning with what can only be described as torrential rain. Despite the heavy rain the pitch was in remarkably good condition.
St Asaph B started strongly passing the ball well and causing Bethel a few problems but as the half progressed Bethel got stronger and managed to make a few good runs. The first goal came when a shot from Dion wasn't held by the keeper and Aaron capitalised to stab home. The second goal came as a result of a wonder free kick from Jestin after Gruff had been fouled wide on the left.
It was 2-0 at half time and what was notable in the dressing room was the great team spirit. Due to various reasons we were only able to field 11 players today and everyone was prepared to play in different positions.
The rain didn't abate and it continued raining heavily throughout the second half but Bethel got stronger as the game progressed with some great runs and movement. Iwan created the third with a great run before passing back for Aaron to tap in. The fourth was scored by Lee (who was playing centre forward for the day) following a pass from Jestin and soon afterwards Lee scored his second when the ball came back to him from the keeper. The goals came at a pace now with Gruff the creator for the next two, Jestin scoring the 6th and then supplying a great cross for Aaron to score his 3rd. St Asaph never gave up and pulled a goal back before Aaon scored his 4th supplied by Osian. Gruff's hardwork paid off as he scored the 9th. St Aspah pulled a further goal back before Lee rounded off the scoring assisted by Gruff.
Man of the match for being prepared to play in an unfamiliar position in midfield and still scoring four was Aaron.
Saturday 3 October 2015
Cae Glyn 1 – Bethel 4
Scorers: Jeston, Aaron, Osian, Gruff
It was our first away game of the season and a trip to Caernarfon to face Cae Glyn. Cae Glyn played exceptionally well and restricted Bethel to few chances. The first game following a cross from the right wing by Dion, Owain controlling the ball well and passing to Jestin to score/ Aaron scored the second following another good pass from Owain.
Soon after the restart Osian scored with a great header following a fantastic cross from Aaron. Soon afterwards, Bethel suffered a couple of injuries and had to the play the rest of the game with only 10. Cae Glyn came back into the game, scoring with a header following a corner and Bethel had to withstand some pressure but defended well. Bethel's 4th came with Ben winning the ball in midfield, passing to Jestin who provided the final ball for Gruff to score.
Saturday 26 September 2015
Bethel 5 – Bontnewydd 0
Scorers: Aaron 3, Dion, Jestin
Bethel responded positively after the disappointment of the previous week against a strong Bontnewydd side. There was little to choose between the sides for a long period but as the half progressed, Bethel started to get the better of things and went ahead with Aaron scoring from a pass by Aaron. It was Dion who scored the second from the penalty spot following a foul on Gruff.
Bethel scored twice in quick succession after the restart with Jestin scoring created by Aaron and then Aaron himself scored following good work from Owain. Bot had several chances and went close on a number of occasions. It was Aaron who scored the last goal of the day netting after Gruff had created the chance.
Saturday 19 September 2015
Bethel 3 – Llanberis 6
Scorers: Ryan, Dion, Jestin
It was a game of two halves, with Bethel controlling for long periods and Llanberis fighting back. Bethel went ahead with Ryan scoring from a corner and then Dion scored after Ifan had passed out from defence. It was 3-0 after 30 minutes when Jestin scored following a pass from Sion. Thereafter, things went wrong with Llanberis striking back before the break and dominating the second half to win 6-3.
Saturday 12 September 2015
Bethel 8 – Talysarn 0
Scorers: Aaron 3, Osian 2, Jestin, Iwan, Owain
Bethel's first competitive game of the season with a very good team performance. The first goal of the season came following a good pass into the box by Shaun to Iwan to control well, turn and score. Aaron scored the second following a great move with Dion supplying the final ball. It was Aaron who also scored the next created by Iwan. Owain then scored his first goal for Bethel following good work from Harri.
Bethel scored another four times in the second half, with Osian scoring created by Gruff and then Jestin scoring following a fine move. The ball was passed from the back with Lee rolling the ball to Gethin who passed to Gruff to supply Jestin. Osian scored the seventh before turning provider for Aaron following good play by Iwan.

A Landing page is a platform for engagement on your website. As a website owner, your goal is to get in touch with people who are interested in your offers. Whether you want to sell goods, provide services or just share your thoughts on the internet, the more people you attract, the more chance you have to succeed.
In this article, we will run over the basic definitions in connection with landing pages to make you understand the reasons and importance of them. Then we are going to guide you through the necessary substances and components of a landing page, and show you the correct methods of creating and using them. If the term "conversion rate optimization" doesn't ring a bell, I recommend you to read this conversion rate optimization guide.
Gather data
First things first as they say. Think about your landing pages as digital sales representatives whose duty is to convince the visitors about the fact that your website will soon be the answer to their questions and the solution to their problems. However, you have to understand your visitors first and therefore, the conversion optimization process requires lots of data. Lucky for you, conversion optimization tools can deliver the data right at your doorstep.
A well-optimized landing page allows you not only to build those relationships but it also makes it easier for your real sales reps to focus on the most qualified contacts. Before you start getting leads or convert visitors into paying customers, you have to build relationships. So once again the only way you can do so is by gathering information. The data can be quantitative or qualitative.
Source: Adeolu Eletu
Quantitative metrics can answer questions such as:
- How much?
- In what order?
- How often?
These questions, however, won't reveal what lies behind the curtains. Using only quantitative methods you won't be able to answer the "hard-to-measure" ones.
- Why do your visitors leave your landing page without clicking on the CTA?
- Why do people leave the shopping cart full of items?
- Why can't the visitors find what they seek?
- How friendly and easily navigable is my website?
Let's say the goal of your landing page is to gather fresh leads for an upcoming e-mail campaign. You fire up a landing page designed to capture the attention. You offer a handy cheat-sheet in exchange for the visitor's e-mail address. At least this is what you expect, but it turns out that something's not quite right. Did you just create another bad landing page example?
Don't guess, measure!
From a quantitative point of view, you can tell that your landing page performs poorly because you're not getting any leads. You are certain that the conversion funnel is leaking at this point, however, you're not sure about what lies behind the problem. At this point, you have visitors on your landing page or webpage who won't convert into paying customers or leads. It's important to track their behavior from start to finish as you can learn a lot from their actions.
Turn visitors into leads
The difference between a visitor and a lead lies in a word called awareness. The awareness phase is when a person knows about your website, maybe regularly visits it and collects information from the site. In this phase, he's not yet a member of your community.
They are called visitors, they probably have an interest in what you do but not convinced enough yet to join you.
Another level of awareness is within a huge step forward. The lead is aware of your site and maybe has a specific connection with it. This transformation is one of the most important processes of your website, a highly significant part of your success.
We simply call this the conversion process. Only a few of your visitors reach this phase and go through this mechanism. If 20% of your visitors reach your landing page you can call it a success. But to reach this rate you have to be aware of some important factors of the landing page. Firstly, let's discuss two main tools which stick the whole category of landing pages together.
Optimized CTAs
A Call to Action button is literally the gate to the other side. This will take the visitor to the next level, to a whole different dimension of your website, where he won't be staying a visitor anymore. A CTA can appear in a lot of forms. In most cases, it is a nice, perfectly visible button placed on a location of your site where people can easily recognize it. It has a word or phrase written on it in an imperative form such as: subscribe, buy it, try it for free, join us and the list goes on and on.
CTAs lead visitors to the landing page so its design, placement, color and the call itself are really important. Make sure to keep in mind all those aspects and create them in a way that people can easily recognize it. Keep in mind, that you can't rely entirely on a button all by itself. Just because you see a fancy button that grabs your attention you won't subscribe to something right?
Describe your product/service in a few informative sentences. If your visitors have to close the landing page just to read more about you and your stuff somewhere on your page you're literally throwing out money on your window. Remember that the first piece of a well-created landing page is a great CTA backed up by short yet informative sentences.
What a landing page uses to gather those necessary and valuable information is a so-called form. Pay attention to how much information you ask for because this step is crucial. Remember that data that can be pretty useful to your company may seem embarrassing to ask for from the point of the visitor's view. Instead of asking for too personal or too particular information, focus on the obvious ones. However, asking for the visitor's name is fairly important.
Too personal questions can chase visitors away, but remember, the landing page is for building a relationship between you and your visitors, to convert them into leads. Asking for their e-mail address is a must too. If they give you only those two information you're in a winning situation. That way you can get in touch with them to discuss following details, and it is obvious that a salutation such as "Hello Sally" is far more personal and attractive than a cold form like "Dear Sir or Madam". I don't know about you, but the latter one usually lands in the trash instantly in my case, and you should stop using them. Drawing attention that you will keep their information private is also a good idea.
Now that we have clarified the basic definitions, explained how each aspect of a landing page works and why they are so important, we can move on. As we discussed before, it is good to have more and more landing pages, but you have to be aware that it is not enough. Quality is more important than quantity so let's run over some of the very basic techniques and tips of creating a landing page.
Create the Landing Page
The next part of the conversion optimization process is to create the landing page itself. Landing pages are designed to offer a non-personal communicational form with the visitor.
You must know that these are one of the most important pages on your whole website in the sense of success which obviously lies in building a community, and more importantly, enclosing visitors into leads. Remember that the more landing pages you have, the bigger the chance is to transform even more visitors into leads. Numbers don't lie: statistics have shown that websites with 10-15 landing pages tend to increase conversions by 55% over business websites with less than 10 landing pages.
To create a well-functioning landing page, you should be aware of its main function, which is by definition getting to know things about your visitors.
Probably the easiest way to introduce the methods of making a successful landing page is to run over each of the substances it's made of. We have already discussed the importance of CTA-s and how to place and design them so let's move on to the next aspect.
Keep an eye on the duty of your landing page (and also your whole site) which is: offering solutions to people's problems, giving answers and help. In the headline, you should summarize this will and also, how you going to make all those things happen. According to these, your headline must be clear, concise, and action-oriented.
Tell your visitors what they're getting and how they are going to access it. All of these can be condensed into a short phrase (make sure it contains an action-verb) surrounded by a colorful, well-contrasted text box just to drive attention perfectly. Also note that you also have to explain the offer itself, and how it benefits the lead. One of the most important SEO technics is the use of keywords in the headline. Make researches, use words that represent the offer the most, and combine them in a way, search engines will understand them.
The main informational data, about your offer, you are about to transmit through your landing page, is maybe the most crucial part of it. In this section, you must expound all the information that lies beneath the headline. Explain what the offer is, tell them about the value and importance of the offer and how it can help them. Remember to keep this site as concise as possible, people make up their minds in just seconds. That means you got to keep your content above the fold so people don't have to scroll in order to reach for the information they need. Bullets, bolding and numbers can help you make it transparent and easy to read.
Help your visitors to stay focused with as many moves as you can. One of these tricks is to remove the navigation menu and links from the landing page. Try to find the golden mean, with too short phrases the information you want to share can become incomplete and with too long texts you can easily lose the attention of the visitor. Enclose them into leads with kind, attractive, but useful and informative texts.
The more valuable the offer, the more information you can ask for. We have already talked about the information you can supplicate. Keep in mind that the landing page and the form too must mirror the value of your offer. Too much information asked is just one disturbing factor among many others.
Stay away from unnecessary design elements, phrases, questions, etc. and reduce any sort of friction that would prevent a visitor from filling out your form and becoming a leader. Run a different kind of analysis processes and find out, which are those elements if you aren't sure about them.
Importance of visuals
Catching, driving and keeping the visitor's attention is the main goal when It comes to websites. And there's the same with landing pages too. An inviting, eye catchy but still gentle picture, graphic, scale or video can raise your conversions exponentially.
But it can have a bad effect on them too, so consciously design and place your visual content on your landing page, make it attractive, not distractive. Remember to give your pictures alt-texts too so search engines will easily understand them, and guide even more people to your site too.
Social media sharing
Social media became the infinitely large main space of communication and socialization. You should have to give leads the opportunity to share each offer they like. This could be quite useful as it can gain even more awareness around your company. A well placed, nicely designed button of a Facebook, Twitter or Google plus logo can also add value to the visual aesthetics of your landing page.
Wrapping up
Remember that conversion is one of the most important processes to be well treated. Create its platform, the landing page with care too. Keep these aspects in mind and try them. We're sure, you'll be satisfied with the results. Keep in mind that analysis is very important in this case too. Analyze and optimize your landing pages as frequently as you can, make changes based on the activities of your visitors and remember, Capturly can always give a hand in that.

Words matter. How words are used matters. When wording is unclear, particularly when it comes to one's will, it can cause a lot of problems for one's beneficiaries. This is an issue currently being seen in the Tom Petty probate case. It is also a problem that has been seen in plenty of Louisiana probate cases as well.
Musician Tom Petty died in 2017. Well before his death he had a will drawn up that stated his estate was to be passed on to his wife and two daughters -- who were products of a previous marriage. The will specifically called for his wife and daughters to receive equal parts of his estate. What did he mean by that? That is the question that is still being fought over today.
Some might say that he meant each beneficiary would receive an equal share of his assets and remaining business interests -- meaning everything would be divided into thirds. Others suggest he meant that his wife would receive 50% of everything and his daughters would share the other 50% -- giving his wife the majority control of his estate. The daughters prefer the former take on this subject while the wife prefers the latter. This has caused Petty's girls to file legal claims in an effort to gain greater control of their father's musical legacy and business interests. They are also seeking monetary damages for their legal fees and losses sustained as a result of the estate allegedly being improperly handled.
Only time will tell what will happen in the Tom Petty case. This matter does certainly serve as a good example that having a will in place does not guarantee an easy probate and estate administration process for one's beneficiaries. Louisiana residents who are interested in putting estate plans together can help themselves and their beneficiaries by seeking the assistance of counsel when drafting wills in order to make sure they are worded just right so that one's wishes are crystal clear.

Prorrhesis (March 2011)
Tenor trombone (player to be seated) and 2 differently pitched bass drums both operated by foot-pedal. Duration circa 13 minutes.
Commissioned by Dirk Amrein. First performance May 2011 – International Trombone Conference – Brazil.
Prorrhesis has been composed of a particular composition and performance aesthetic. Some of the music contained in this score is intentionally impossible to play at speed. Large leaps across registers, rapid execution of quarter tones and very fast, precisely notated passage work all contribute to the many challenges faced by the performer. I do not anticipate a 'perfect' performance and realise that some aspects of this piece will need to be 'sketched-out', approximated and to a certain extent, improvised to realise the music I have written. Flexibility is the key to production.
Whilst every care should be taken to be true to the manuscript within areas that this is possible and practical, interpretation and 'best-attempt' are desirable outcomes at points of extreme virtuosity or impossibility. In pushing what is technically possible to the absolute limit and sometimes beyond, a brave, risk-taking performer will exceed the usual confines of their own technique to capture something of the colour, energy, risk and dynamism of the music that 'safer' forms of notation and performance style would inhibit.
What is notated is an ideal. What is performed is a flexible realisation of that ideal.
Prorrhesis: historical context
Prorrhesis was part of the ancient Greek Eleusinian Mysteries. Prorrhesis was the official announcement of the start of the rites. This announcement occurred on the 15th day of Boedromion (September) and was given by the hierophantes.

BASEBALL: Tigers shut out Maroons
Matt Kamp | The Intelligencer
O'FALLON — Even with runners on base, Edwardsville starting pitcher Matt Boyer remained calm and put trust in his defense.
The Tigers didn't disappoint their ace.
Edwardsville threw a runner out at home and turned a pair of double plays and the offense came through with a three-run sixth inning to seal a 4-0 victory over Belleville West in the Class 4A Illinois Wesleyan Sectional semifinals at Blazier Field in O'Fallon.
"I feel like I can pin the corners and let them put the ball in play. I don't have to strike everybody out," Boyer said.
The state's second-ranked Tigers (33-5) advance to face the winner of 12th-ranked Normal West (29-6) and Moline (26-8-1) at 11 a.m. Saturday in the sectional championship game at Horenberger Field on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington.
Edwardsville is aiming for its state-record 18th sectional championship and second in three years.
"This is a big win for us. We were fortunate to get the runs we got today," EHS coach Tim Funkhouser said.
More Information
Class 4A IWU Sectional
Edwardsville 4, Belleville West 0
Normal West vs. Moline, late
Edwardsville vs. TBD, 11 a.m.
The Maroons, ranked 19th in the state, end their season at 27-8, a win shy of playing for their first sectional championship since 1997.
Belleville West left eight runners on base, including Joey Kossina and J.B Bierman after leadoff doubles in the first and second innings, respectively.
"We struggled with situational hitting at times. You talk about the little things and we weren't able to execute the little things. (Boyer) settled in and got better as the game went on," Maroons coach Todd Baltz said.
Boyer needed just 89 pitches for his four-hitter. He struck out eight and walked one.
The Maroons had at least a runner on in five of the seven innings, but it didn't shake Boyer. He just counted on his most dependable pitch to work through the jams.
"My fastball was working today," Boyer said.
When Boyer did find himself in trouble, the defense was there to also back him up.
Joe Copeland threw out Kossina at the plate from left field to end the top of the first inning, and the Tigers turned inning-ending double plays in the fourth and fifth innings. The Maroons had runners at the corners in the fourth and at first and second in the fifth.
"Josh Ohl covers so much ground at shortstop and it makes me feel like I can just let my defense work," Boyer said.
Boyer retired eight of the final nine he faced, including the last two on strikeouts to finish off his second complete game of the season. The other came in the 1-0 loss to Belleville West on May 1 in Edwardsville.
In two postseason starts, Boyer has allowed zero runs on six hits with 14 strikeouts and one walk.
Boyer was pitching on three days rest. He threw 71 pitches in the 8-1 win over Alton on Saturday.
"He really kicked it into another gear and showed great poise," Funkhouser said.
Facing Kossina for the second time this season and first since his no-hitter on May 1, the EHS offense didn't waste any time repeating history. Hayden Moore led off with a single in the first but was stranded at third.
Moore's speed paid off in the third. The EHS leadoff hitter worked a walk and took second on a sacrifice bunt from Blake Burris. With one out, Joe Copeland lifted a fly ball to right. Moore tagged on the play and scored to allow EHS to go up 1-0.
"We saw a little bit of hesitancy and the ball got loose on him. With a guy running like Moore, you might as well take your chances there," Funkhouser said.
Edwardsville broke the game open in the sixth with three runs on three hits.
Back-to-back doubles from Josh Ohl and Max Ringering produced a 2-0 lead. After loading the bases on a walk and hit by pitch, EHS went to the bench and Ty Berumen came through with an RBI single to right to make it 3-0. A bases-loaded walk to Moore upped the lead to 4-0 and ended Kossina's day on the mound.
Caleb Harsin came on in relief and got the final two outs but not before the damage was done.
Kossina went 5.1 innings and allowed four runs on six hits with six strikeouts and six walks. He finished with 113 pitches.
"He kept us in the game there until the end. You have to like his effort," Baltz said.
Ohl and Moore each finished with two hits for the Tigers.

Oftentimes, the College Board and ACT will test a concept differently than it is tested in the classroom. For example, given this systems question:
If 2x + 5y = 1 and 5x - 3y = 8, what is the value of 3x-8y ?
Most students would use linear combination to make either the x-coefficient or the y-coefficient the same in order to get rid of the x or the y, when a student just needs to line the 2 equations up and subtract:
5x - 3y = 8
-(2x + 5y = 1)
3x - 8y = 7 Ans.: 7

I was delighted to have the chance to read the brand new release, MISSION IMPAWSIBLE, by Krista Davis! I always enjoy a visit to Wagtail, Virginia and a chance to catch up with Holly Miller at the Sugar Maple Inn. This new adventure did not disappoint! Starting out with the Animal Attraction Matchmaking event, Krista allows the reader to immerse themselves in the festivities and enjoy the atmosphere. She paints colorful characters and charming scenes, drawing you in, making you a part of the town. I loved the fun events such as the Yappy Hour Parade! However, it's not long before Holly's darling dog, Trixie, who has quite the reputation for finding dead bodies, lives up to that reputation. From there the story moves at a quick pace taking the reader on a ride of murder and mayhem. Along with the murder plot, there's the secondary mystery of trying to figure out who the victim really is and who keeps letting the dogs out in the dead of night? Humor ensues with Holly catching the hotel's pets raiding the pantry for midnight snacks.
The Animal Attraction Matchmaking event also provides plenty of entertainment on its own and the author provides interesting, fun facts about love and romance…really! Holly's grandmother, Oma, tries to set her up for love during the event, but Holly seems content to sit on the sidelines and be an onlooker. Will Oma succeed or will Holly be sidetracked by another dead body? In addition to a delightful tale, Krista provides plenty of mouth-watering recipes at the back of the book, including some for your furry friends. She has graciously allowed me to share her recipe for Fried Chicken. I think I've only made fried chicken once in my life and that was a lifetime ago…for some reason it intimidates me. But Krista's recipe for Fried Chicken proved to be easy to make resulting in crispy, perfectly seasoned chicken!
Amazon Synopsis
In the pet-friendly town of Wagtail, Virginia, there's no love lost when Holly Miller meets her match in a murderer…
Holly and her grandmother, Oma, are working their tails off to prepare the Sugar Maple Inn for an upcoming matchmaking event for pet owners. While Holly has no interest in pairing up, Oma plans on playing Cupid and finding someone to warm her reluctant granddaughter's heart.
Unfortunately, one man Holly does meet is cold—dead cold—and he has a personal letter from Oma in his pocket. As suspicion is cast over the inn's guests, Holly—with the help of her furry friends, Trixie the Jack Russell and Twinkletoes the cat—must fetch the real killer, or she may soon have a date in court.
A special thank you to Krista Davis for providing a signed copy of MISSION IMPAWSIBLE for one lucky winner! Contest is limited to U.S. residents only and ends Thursday, February 9, 2017 at 11:59 pm PST. Please use the Rafflecopter box located below the recipe to enter. The winner will be announced on this page and on Cinnamon & Sugar's Facebook page, as well as notified by email (so check your spam folder!)
