There are many ways that you can track user behavior on your site. For beginners, Google Analytics is a fantastic place to start. The free tool will help uncover important data to help you understand your site performance. Your Google Analytics dashboard can show you where traffic is coming from, what keywords are driving them there, how much time visitors spend on your site, how many pages they view while there, where they exit your site, and much, much more. But to get deeper analytics into page performance, you'll need to find supplementary tools.
For example, do you know exactly where users are clicking on your page? Are they scrolling to view content at the bottom of the page, or staying "above the fold"? Do you know exactly which clicks on the page are attributed to each referral site? For more in-depth analysis such as this, CrazyEgg may offer the tools you need.
We applied CrazyEgg tagging to key pages on our website, and here's what we found:
1. Heatmap Report
This report offers a snapshot of where people are focusing their attention on your page. You'll see what's hot and what's not, so you can make changes that increase conversions. Based on our Heatmap, we can see that both our Blog and Careers pages are hot destinations, but we also see click activity in the copy under "Problem Solving Is in Our Blood," where there are no embedded links. This may represent an opportunity to add some links and drive users right into Problems We Solve.
2. Scrollmap
The Scrollmap illustrates how far down the page people are scrolling, and helps determine where visitors abandon the page. Where should you add elements to keep a viewer's attention? This color-coded map will show you. White is 100%, yellow is 90+%. According to our screen shot report, users on our homepage are viewing the entire page. But what are they doing when they're there?
3. Overlay Report
When you look at the Overlay report, you'll be able to see the number of clicks on each element of your page. Now you can work on getting more of the clicks that make you money (and less of the ones that don't). We see that both the scroll bar and the video are engaging elements (relative to total click-through). When we designed the site we knew we needed a "Careers" link in the page, but we decided not to place it in the main navigation. Would users find the Careers link and click it? It appears that way.
4. Confetti Tool
This tool segments clicks by referral sources, search terms, campaigns, and more, enabling you to identify where your most valuable traffic is coming from. Each dot corresponds to a series of clicks attributed to multiple criteria. Once you have this information, you've uncovered the exact traffic sources that bring high revenue with little effort. Below, the color-coded dots correspond to referral traffic from sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, and WindyCityRails.
Want to get started?
Install CrazyEgg on your most important pages (in terms of revenue and traffic) and on any pages you want to test for usability issues. Basic Pricing starts at $9/month for tracking on up to 10 pages.

Advances in Consumer Research Volume 14, 1987 Page 563
Jerome M. Katrichis, The University of Michigan
In an effort to expand the qualitative tool bag of marketing researchers, the purpose of this paper is to introduce marketing researchers to a widely used qualitative group research technique from the organizational development literature, known as the "Nominal Group Technique," (NGT), (c.f. Delbecq, Van de Ven, and Gustafson 1975). NGT was developed due to certain limitations earlier group research technologies encountered and utilizes advantages of both nominal groups (where members work in isolation, and are groups in name only), and interacting groups (where members regularly interact).
In an NGT session, individuals are brought into a room, where, for the first ten to twenty minutes there is no interaction. In full view of each other, individuals spend time writing down as many ideas as they can think of in response to a moderator's question. In a marketing application, questions might be on the order of: What problems have you had with your current fabric softener? What issues do you consider when shopping for food for your family? etc. Generally, an NGT session deals with one question only, so the question needs to be constructed carefully 80 as to stimulate the types of information flows required. It is conceivable that more than one question be administered and the session be divided, taking one question at a time. After this initial period, ideas are shared in a very structured fashion. Each individual provides from his or her private list, one of their ideas. This is done in a round-robin fashion until each individual indicates they have nothing more to share. This step is done without discussion until all ideas are recorded on a flip chart. These ideas are to be listed in the suggestor's own words and can be clarified later in the process.
When all ideas are recorded, a period of discussion much like a traditional focus group ensues for the purpose of clarification of recorded ideas. The discussion opens with a serial discussion of the ideas listed on the flip chart. Each idea is presented and participants can ask for clarification or discussion. This step insures that all ideas are given equal status, and prevents dominant individuals from monopolizing the conversation. Once all ideas are understood, a nominal (anonymous) voting procedure is used in which each respondent rates or ranks the presented ideas in terms of the importance of the idea to them. These ratings or rankings can be combined to determine overall ratings or rankings. Such ratings will help give the researcher an understanding of the structure of the problem or opportunity in terms of the respondents most important dimensions.
Delbecq, Van de Ven, and Gustafson (1975, ch.2), summarize several studies designed to compare NGT with interacting groups. The nominal groups were found in general to be superior to interacting groups in terms of satisfaction of participants with the group process, and quantity and quality of ideas generated. Further, individuals in NGT groups felt a greater sense of accomplishment and a greater interest in future phases of decision making than interacting groups.
NGT is superior to unstructured focus groups in balancing participation and affording an equal status to all participants. Hence, NGT groups impose no restrictions on the number, heterogeneity, or previous acquaintanceship of the participants. In as much as the technique was developed with group decision making within organizations in mind (Delbecq and Van de Ven 1971), it seems natural that both acquaintanceship and heterogeneity are expected.
Because NGT groups can be said to be generally more structured than are focus groups, moderator training needs will tend to be lover. Generally, the more structured a technique is, the easier it is to train moderators. Some authors (c.f. Goldman 1962) advocate very low structure interviewing processes in focus groups and suggest that effective moderators have a level of training which includes a background in clinical psychology. While NGT moderators should have some training, the skill requirements are not nearly as high.
Calder (1977), delineates three approaches to qualitative methodology including: an exploratory approach, where problems are defined, a clinical approach, where the objective is to get past surface reasons for behavior, and a phenomenological approach, where the client or moderator attempts to see things from the respondents point of view and in the respondents own terms.
Calder's work takes a philosophy of science perspective to focus groups. The value of Calder's work to practitioners using focus groups is the realization that the methodologies appropriate are differentially applicable to the various approaches to focus group research. Calder hypothesized that group size, required expertise of moderators, degree of moderator intervention, and degree of group heterogeneity required for focus group interviews are different under the three different approaches. Be also comments about the appropriateness of such aspects of the focus group as verbatim quotes and management observation under the three approaches.
Of Calder's three approaches to focus groups, NGT seems most applicable to the exploratory approach having limited phenomenological applicability and no applicability to clinical approaches. While NGT insures a greater number and quality of ideas generated, it offers less opportunity for the embellishment and detailed explanations looked for in the clinical or phenomenological approaches. Where quantity of ideas is at a premium, such as in product development types of explorations NGT will prove superior to the traditional unstructured focus group.
NGT may also be important when it is desirable to include individuals of different statuses within groups in order to get representation of various role players. This may be especially valuable in purchase situations where the purchase is typically a group decision such as complex family purchases and organizational purchase or other decision processes.

The first ten M-64s were actually ordered from Alco, patterned after the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western's 4-8-4s and including Alco's newly-offered single-piece cylinder and frame casting. However, Alco was overbooked with orders at the time, so they subcontracted construction to Baldwin. The D&RGW was not pleased, and consequently Alco purchased the engines and leased them back to the D&RGW, with the terms that they could be returned in five years if the railroad was not happy. Also as a part of this deal, the final four (1710-1713) were acquired under the same terms. Clearly the railroad grew to like them, as they kept them through the end of steam. (From Robert Schaefer's "D&RGW 4-8-4 Westerns" in "The Prospector", Volume 2 Number 2.)

Selling my bike as I am a very poor student with a hefty debt. I love this bike to pieces, of all the bikes I've owned this is the most playful and enjoyable to ride. It has done everything; local trails, lakes and even alps epic trips. There is nothing it can't handle. I know that 26" is dead, but if you're looking for a timeless steel hardtai, this is the business. I think it is a 2013 frame, although I don't have a reciept. The forks are 650b, so if you have multiple bikes it is a cheap way to get some shit got forks and a winter bike. New BB and brake pads + general service last month. In my opinion the only thing wrong with the bike is the reverb, it sags slightly as you sit on it, either it is just needing a bleed or maybe internals. For that reason I'm very negotiable on the price. Stuck it up at 700 as I don't know what these puppies are worth any more, so hit me with your offer. Feel free to ring if any Q's. See photos for condition of the bike (the big scratch you'll see is from when I bought it. Some idiot packed the cassette unprotected next to the frame! Cheers, Richard

18 October 2016
Half the medal winners in the Computer Applications Olympiad this year were girls. This is one Science Olympiad where girls are making their presence felt.
Almost half of the more than 17 000 entrants for the 2013 Applications Olympiad and four of the eleven Finalists were girls. The Finalists were from only four provinces, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape and Mpumalanga.
"It is most unusual not to have a number of Finalists from Gauteng" explained Olympiad Manager Peter Waker.
The eleven Finalists were:
Bianca de Gois from grade 12 at Brackenfell High in Cape Town
Michael Ross Holmes from grade 11 at Reddam House in Constantia
Gerrit Huisamen from grade 12 at Grey High in Port Elizabeth
Courtney Koutsouris from grade 12 at St Barnabas Independent in Durban
Hye Jin Lim from grade 12 at Beaconhurst High in East London
Mcebo Mkhonta from grade 12 at Beacon College in Malelane
Thiolan Naidoo from grade 12 at Star College in Durban
Ji Hyun Park from grade 12 at Domino Servite in Greytown
Devon Ryan from grade 12 at Bergvliet High in Cape Town
Sean Soutar from grade 12 at Theodor Herzl High in Port Elizabeth
Gianluca Truda from grade 11 at Michaelhouse in Balgowan
The Finalists faced a very tough test. The morning section of the final paper was a one-hour test to prove proficiency in using a Word processor, a Spreadsheet and a Database. During the four- hour afternoon session the participants had the opportunity to show more creativity. The problems were all centered around using IT to run a B & B. Among other things they had to design a welcome card and create invoices and various reports such as booking lists and arrival and departure lists.
The winners were announced at a Gala Dinner at Kelvin Grove Club.
Overall winner was Thiolan Naidoo, a grade 12 learner at Star College in Durban. He received a Gold Medal, the CoZa Cares Trophy, cash prizes for himself and his school. He also won the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship at the University of Cape Town – which he will use to study Actuarial Science at UCT next year.
The Silver Medals were won by Gianluca Truda from grade 11 at Michaelhouse in KwaZulu-Natal and Gerrit Huisamen a grade 12 learner at Grey High in Port Elizabeth. Gerrit is one of his school's rugby stars and was actually on a school rugby tour in the Western Cape when the Computer Applications Finals took place. He fitted the Finals in between losing against Paarl Gimnasium and beating SACS. He is intending to study a B Accounting at the University of Stellenbosch next year.
Gianluca Truda comments "I am in grade 11 this year and fully intend to be back at the Applications Olympiad next year".
All three Bronze Medals were won by girls.
Hye Jin Lim is the daughter of Korean missionaries in the Transkei and a grade 12 learner at Beaconhurst High in East London. Ji Hyun Park is a grade 12 learner at Domino Servite High in Kranskop, KwaZulu-Natal.
A most unusual Bronze Medal winner is Bianca de Gois a grade 12 learner from Brackenfell High near Cape Town. Her interests include cooking, make-up and the hammer throw. Unlike all the other Finalists she is not going to pursue a university degree, but has enrolled at a cooking school to become a pastry chef!
How good are these students?
The day after the Finals they were given an opportunity to take the Certiport Microsoft Office tests at Elkanah House in Cape Town. The international tests allow learners 50 minutes to pass a proficiency test in a Microsoft Office Application. Most passed the test in less than 35 minutes. This makes them candidates for the 2014 Global Microsoft Office competition which could earn them free trips to the USA for the World Finals.

Minor update
There's various Christmas fetes that I feel I should mention - will have to look up the details as I've forgotten them.
Anything else going on? Miros deli was closed when I passed on Tuesday so I wonder if it's gone for good? I've seen no news about 'The brasserie' on Station Terrace since the licensing application was made in August.

Perhaps you should elaborate and give a name if you feel so strongly?
- 19 November 2009 at 11:27
Totally agree with Matthew,whoever this person is who's slandering the Olive Branch should state his reasons for rubbishing this establishment.It's a new busines trying to offer a very good service to its customers. The place seems to have its regulars, I've seen familiar faces whenever I've gone in, there is no way people would go back a second time if it was disgusting, like the person(who seems to have a grudge against them)says.

There's a gift shop called "Lovely..." about to open on Kilburn Lane near Ida, the Italian restaurant.
Looking forward to it - Kilburn Lane could do with some new enterprises opening up.

The corner shop close to Miro's seems to be in difficulty. They have signs saying they can't sell alcohol, even though there are stocks behind the shutters. Presumably they lost their licence.
It will be a struggle to survive losing a major source of income, and with Tesco's just up the road.
A pity if they go, as the people are friendly.
- 24 November 2009 at 16:38
Wow! Anyone checked out The Salusbury Deli. They have the cafe area at the front now. Very American Shaker look. Opens today. Thing it will do really well like that.
- 26 November 2009 at 01:23
let me elaborate...
the food is unimaginative and bland. i ordered pasta and got a slab of hard old pasta which had been cooked in a jar of low grade (dolmio?) sauce and then served as a bake.
it is clear that those running the olive branch don't know the first thing about how to create good quality Italian food.
the coffee was well presented and i think this is why most people are returning customers. Also there is very little choice in that section of kensal rise.
I went there because as a local resident I think it is important to support new local businesses... at least once.
I prefer the Salusbury road option.

We had a nice meal in the Olive Branch a few nights ago - fresh and properly cooked pasta and a pizza which was nice if a little salty, very friendly staff - will go back.
- 27 November 2009 at 13:45
I went to the Olive Branch in early Oct and had the seafood risotto and my sister the seafood pasta, both dishes were superb, will definitely go back. Went earlier this week to the Boy's Cafe on Harrow Road and didn't enjoy the starters, maybe ordered the wrong dish. However, the mains were superb and they also do deliveries, so look forward to that.
- 28 November 2009 at 06:10
Boys Cafe is not a patch on Tong Kanom Thai further up the road. Chicken in Panden leaves and ribs to die for. Yum!
- 28 November 2009 at 10:50
As a local in Kensal Green/Rise I have seen the new businesses shoot up of late in the area, for which I have to say is a good sign and an improvement. I can't say I'm impressed with the new nail bar on station terrace but then again I'm a bloke and would say that anyway. I'm happy to hear that what was once Brilliant Kids, which I understand is going to be a bistro-y kind of thing has now been granted their licence and will defo try them out which brings me to the Olive Branch, I have been going in there since the day it opened and have seen a massive improvement in their service and quality of food. I went in last Friday for dinner and enjoyed it greatly, having worked in catering myself for near on 30yrs, I did observe a couple of minor areas where they needed to look at, which I have mentioned and were received with grace and gratitude. Give The Olive Branch a chance, it could well be the best thing that's happened to this area.
- 30 November 2009 at 13:19
To the Sir/Madame that hate The Olive Branch and doesn`t even say his name, maybe you should try Arthur`s greasy Cafe` maybe is more appropiate to your palate...you know when you eat fried chicken and chips you will not understand rafinate dishes...
- 1 December 2009 at 14:02
- Matthew said...
I think we leave off that kind of criticism, Arthur's a perfectly pleasant place.
- 1 December 2009 at 23:55
Yes I agree Matthew, can't the "anonymous" who bad mouths Arthurs see the contridiction of complaining about what the other "anonymous" says?
- 2 December 2009 at 05:52
this new business are investing money to improve the area where we live so we all should support them and appreciate what they do
- 3 December 2009 at 03:56
Very well said. If the person has a problem with the food then they should tell the owner or at least be constructive in the criticism.
- 3 December 2009 at 05:48
- Matthew said...
I think constructive criticism is important - local businesses are welcome but they must survive on their merits. I think we're all pleased that most of the new ones that have set up in the last two years are still around, and in many cases have improved significantly since they first opened.
- 3 December 2009 at 06:06
Heard the black boarded shop will be an architects and Quint Fashions is to be turned into a fancy spa with a creche. One to excite the yummy mummies.
- 5 December 2009 at 09:42
So what's the Paper Wishes shop then Matthew?
- 7 December 2009 at 03:12
My girlfriend and I visited The Olive Branch last Friday and to be honest we were not happy. The Caprese salad arrived ice cold, straight from the fridge, which it had obviously been in all day. Not ones to complain we tried to eat it but it was like eating ice. We informed the staff and they were very nice about it. They brought a replacement which was exactly the same. We returned this also. My pasta was extremely salty. Most people can cook better at home. I can only presume that it is better to stick to pizza and coffee. We might try the pizza but to be honest I don't want to waste my time.

Went to Whytes deli cafe today for the first time, Old Miro's grocery, took my kids and ate really good home cooked food, I am so happy to see new business opening, it would be a pity if our high street joined the many others with empty shops and closed business.
Whytes is that new breed of place that trys to stock a little of what you fancy and then has a great backbone of home made meals. Hope they manage to survive the current economic climate, so as the old saying goes, use em or lose em.
Try the home made cakes they are delicious.
- 13 December 2009 at 16:00
Loving the new deli cafe at 112 chamberlayne road, can't remember the name as the sign has not changed from Miros Came home the other night wet through tired and hungry, and stopped there and bought a ready cooked meal a kind of home made take away, what a great idea, and it was delicious, using organic ingredients and has that love in the food feeling.
The staff there are really great and so helpful as I had no money on me to pay the bill, was told to pay next time, which of course I did.
Yesterday, went for an English breakfast box, bacon eggs and sausage in individual boxes to take away. loved it as you only buy what you need and I love that concept.
- 14 December 2009 at 05:27
The New Deli is great, stop by in the morning and pick up my ready made lunch and on the bus I go.
They even reserved some food for me when I called them to say I was running late and it was all packed and waiting for me.
They seem really decent people in there and I hope that Kensal Green gets behind them and makes this business a success for the young man that owns it.
Go and use our local store and stop the empty shop syndrome that is devouring our other high streets.
- 14 December 2009 at 05:31
Has Coluorwash shut down? All the shutters were down on Sat.
- 14 December 2009 at 05:41
Where is the new deli everyone is talking about drove past and Miro is still there.
- 14 December 2009 at 14:00
The new Deli is on Chamberlayne Road, it is the old Miros grocers.
It is so good and feels so right already, I am already addicted to their coffee.
- 17 December 2009 at 14:07
Although some people seem to like it, I went to the olive branch and regretted it for a second time.
As for the person who suggested a trip to Arthur's cafe... Ha Ha Ha. You are very funny aren't you.
Having lived in Kensal Rise for twenty three years I have seen many businesses come and go and although I have only been to Arthur's once, they must be doing something right to have been here for a quarter of a century.
I hope the Olive branch improve and can last
- 18 December 2009 at 18:55
I am very surprised that people praise Arthurs Cafe. When I went there it was very dirty, lots of left over food on the floor. This encourages mice and it makes me wonder about the state of the kitchen. The staff were friendly enough, however, when I asked them to clean the floor they only cleaned the patch we were going to sit at. Needless to say we left.

Hi, I have a jotform in my website, but everytime that clients fills it and hits a button (either to send or move forward with the form), the page goes way down to the footer. This doesn't happens with other forms, except Jotform only.
Is there anything I can do to solve this, or is it some bug on jotform? It was working all fine since 2 weeks ago, but now it seems that its constant and getting visitors very annoyed.

I took a look at your website and I see that there are 2 jotforms embedded on the same page while both of them are using js embed method.
Now while this works properly, it can be affected by the scripts on your website. Based on what you have mentioned I presume that at that time you had an update on some part of your website and that has caused a conflict with the jotforms.
To fix this, I would suggest using iframe embed method instead. iFrame is basically a wall between your scripts on the page and your jotform, allowing you to run everything without any issues.
I would suggest doing this for both jotforms and checking if everything is functioning at that time.
Do let us know how it goes.
Best Regards,

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have tried the iframe option, but the erros keeps going.
- BenAnswered on December 03, 2014 at 03:54 PM
I see that you have changed on jotform to use the iframe embed option, but that the other one in the footer is still using js embed method. I would suggest updating that one as well.
Since you have updated the one at the middle I was able to see that there are some issues with the conditions on the jotform and will raise this to our developers for inspection.
They will take a look and will let you know through this thread as soon as there are any updates in regards to this issue.
Best Regards,

Hi Ben, do you have any estimates of how much time will take? Because some partners are getting frustrated and I'd like to give them some answer. Thanks!
- BenAnswered on December 04, 2014 at 01:36 PM
I can tell you that the issue is marked as important and that there is already a developer assigned to it. What this means is that a solution for the issue is already being searched for.
Now our developer already reported to have fixed some issue with conditions, but I see that you are again using js embed method for both jotforms (which did not show the error).
If you are going to use js embed method please try using this code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://form.jotformz.com/jsform/42453494848668?nojump=true>
Once you add it, try to submit and see if it is working properly, but if not please restore the iframe embedded jotform instead, since it seems that the issue is caused by the conflict of code from your website with the code in the jotform.
Best Regards,
- braavosAnswered on December 04, 2014 at 02:50 PM
I left the last form in the home page as an iframe one, so the developer can have an idea of what's going on...
The other form is located at: http://braavos.com.br/inscricoes-individuais/
- BenAnswered on December 04, 2014 at 03:50 PM
I took a look at this page: http://braavos.com.br/inscricoes-individuais/
It is using js embed method: <script src="http://form.jotform.us/jsform/42366498976172" type="text/javascript">
Please follow this guide to embed the jotform using iframe embed method.
I have moved your response that the iframe is not completely shown to a new thread so that we can help you resolve it. You can find it here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/469583
I would suggest changing all jotforms to iframe instead of js embed method since there are conflicts with the code on your website causing various random errors within jotforms. With iFrame this would not happen. On the thread just created we will help you to make them all properly shown on your website.
Best Regards,
- BenAnswered on December 04, 2014 at 05:27 PM
Looking at the website with the iframe embed method back, I believe I was able to see why it jumps to the bottom.
It is actually jumping to the other jotform, most likely since it is not isolated from the rest of the site (using iframe embed)
Now if you include the code that I had given to you on the other thread for the jotform at the right middle part of the page and include the next one for the one in your footer, I believe that the issue with jumps on next, previous and submit will stop to happen.
<iframe id="42360606138147" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width: 100%; border: medium none; height: 467px;" name="42360606138147" allowtransparency="true" src="//form.jotform.us/form/42360606138147" ></iframe>
Do let us know how it goes once you add both codes to your website.
Best Regards,

Sonic Boom Minimization through Vehicle Shape Optimization and Probabilistic Acoustic Propagation
Rallabhandi, Sriram Kishore
MetadataShow full item record
Sonic boom annoyance is an important technical showstopper for commercial supersonic aircraft operations. It has been proposed that aircraft can be shaped to alleviate sonic boom. Choosing the right aircraft shape reflecting the design requirements is a fundamental and most important step that is usually over simplified in the conceptual stages of design by resorting to a qualitative selection of a baseline configuration based on historical designs and designers perspective. Final aircraft designs are attempted by minor shape modifications to this baseline configuration. This procedure may not yield large improvements in the objectives, especially when the baseline is chosen without a rigorous analysis procedure. Traditional analyses and implementations tend to have a complex algorithmic flow, tight coupling between tools used and computational limitations. Some of these shortcomings are overcome in this study and a diverse mix of tools is seamlessly integrated to provide a simple, yet powerful and automatic procedure for sonic boom minimization. A shape optimization procedure for supersonic aircraft design using better geometry generation and improved analysis tools has been successfully demonstrated. The geometry engine provides dynamic reconfiguration and efficient manipulation of various components to yield unstructured watertight geometries. The architecture supports an assimilation of different components and allows configuration changes to be made quickly and efficiently because changes are localized to each component. It also enables an automatic way to combine linear and non-linear analyses tools. It has been shown in this study that varying atmospheric conditions could have a huge impact on the sonic boom annoyance metrics and a quick way of obtaining probability estimates of relevant metrics was demonstrated. The well-accepted theoretical sonic boom minimization equations are generalized to a new form and the relevant equations are derived to yield increased flexibility in aircraft design process. Optimum aircraft shapes are obtained in the conceptual design stages weighing in various conflicting objectives. The unique shape optimization procedure in conjunction with parallel genetic algorithms improves the computational time of the analysis and allows quick exploration of the vast design space. The salient features of the final designs are explained. Future research recommendations are made.

'Cuz hey-it's that time of year again. Several of my clients have already begun heavily shedding. I use different techniques and different tools depending on the coat. One of my favorite 'go-to' tools is the undercoat rake-the ones with the curved blades. I own the Andis ones, as well as an Oster, and several I think it's Paw Brothers -the red handle with black paw prints. I guess they all have slightly different angles, as one brand will often work better than the others on a given coat.
But my question is this. Can I overdo it with these rakes? Am I only removing the hair that is ready to come out, or am I in fact pulling hair out of the follicles that isn't really ready to go? Sometimes it seems like it will never stop. I have experimented by using the rake, then a comb. The comb removes nothing or next to nothing, but if I rerake the area, I get more hair. I also have looked at areas after I have thoroughly gone through them with the rake, and feel like I am not seeing any undercoat.
I don't know how to understand/interpret what I am seeing. I see no visible damage/irritation to the skin, but can't stop wondering if using these rakes until no more hair comes out is in some way harmful?

Growing up, my Dad always said: There's a Hard Way and an Easy Way. For whatever reason, I chose the hard one- and ended up with a few more beats, bumps and bruises along the way.
Probably like you, our kids wake up for school in the dark. I'm not a morning person. I would much rather see the sun Set than the sun Rise; and I'm a firm believer it's not truly daytime, when the moon is still up at 6am.
I'm always asking moms how they handle morning routines, after school snacks and endless laundry. There's no reason to re-invent the wheel. I'd rather copy it.
Does this sound familiar? I would get up 30 minutes before the kids woke up, commence to make lunches and realize we're out of bread. Hmmm . . . there's no cereal for breakfast and only 3 mis-matched socks in the laundry basket. I was spinning my wheels, trying to re-configure Plan A with Plan C about the time the kids were waking up.
"Mom! said child #1: Where's the socks . . . One is crying, I don't want to take a frozen burrito to school – there's no microwave." Child #3 is still sleeping, after I've run up the stairs twice to wake him and Child #2 is upset because he wanted cereal, instead of last night's pork chop for breakfast. Poor kids, what a mess. If only I were organized!
I have 3 boys in school: Pre-k, 1st & 3rd. I know what it's like to bribe, fight, cry and whine my way through morning rush hour to get them to brush their teeth, eat breakfast and get dressed in the morning. Then one day, after dreading the morning routine, I decided enough was enough. I'm the boss of this joint and I'm not gonna take it anymore. If there was going to be a Revolt, it was coming from me!
And just like that, the Pletka family went through boot camp 101. Like a captain in the Army, I put them in a single file line and we marched from upstairs to downstairs, acting out the way I wanted "Morning Routine" to look like. The baby followed along with her blankie dragging behind. No more whining . . . no more crying . . . no more "I don't wanna wear that." Nope, nada, nein, not gonna happen.
I lined them up one by one and asked: Are you potty trained? Yes Mom! Do you know where the spoons are located? Yes Mom. Do you know how to pour Milk? And the list went on. Just like the movie Dodgeball, in a scruffy, old, cynical voice he said: If you can Dodge a Wrench, you can Dodge a Ball . . . My theory was: If you can pour milk, you can feed yourself!
And this is how it went down: I began placing cereal in a bowl with a spoon in it, the night before. All they have to do is pour the milk and eat.
In the evenings, when we make lunches for the kids, I lay out their clothes, socks, shoes, back packs, lunch boxes, the whole enchilada, to make this portion of the day, run like a well-oiled machine. If a pair of socks or one shoe is missing, it can be a deal breaker – put a glitch in the morning, maybe miss the bus and everyone's in a bad mood. If Jr.'s shoes are outside under the trampoline, you're up the creek.
We placed alarm clocks in each room, so they go off at the same time, or pretty darn close. They come running down the stairs, trying to pass each other along the way. It sounds like a herd of animals running on their heels, beating and thumping all the way down. This, in turn, becomes my alarm clock.
While one is eating breakfast, the other brushes his teeth and yet another is putting on his clothes. They circulate through the 3 step process with minutes to spare. Life is much better, now that we have a system in place. They feel a little more independent, I'm relinquished of my role as drill sergeant and am realizing these little guys are growing up fast and I need to freeze frame all the moments.
Life has changed. We sleep a 1/2 an hour longer, lunches are pre-made at night, outfits are pre-approved and the kids are much happier.
I'm amazed at how children can step up and make it happen, when we raise the bar and increase our expectations of them. There's a Hard Way and an Easy Way, both with the same destination, but how you get there, can make ya or break ya. Enjoy Your Life!
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, so when he's old, he will not depart from it.
3 Responses to "Surviving Morning Bus Stop Routine"
LOVE this post! It is so true! Mornings can be the roughest but if you prepare the night before, it goes much better. I need to work on my consistency in the night before prep though. 😀
I like the part about lining them up and making sure they know exactly what is expected of them. I may try this tonight since I am on my own this week and will need them to do as much as they can on their own. I do the night before prep and then Heath gets them up and keeps them motivated in the mornings. This will be a challenge to say the least.
