Two Littleton men have filed a proposed ballot measure that seeks to undo proposed legislation that would limit ammunition magazines of more than 15 rounds.
The measure was filed Tuesday, one day after the Democratic-controlled Senate passed a bill limiting magazine rounds.
Tim LeVier and J.T. Davis want voters to decide the issue in the 2014 election. Neither could be reached for comment.
House Bill 1224 is a part of a far-reaching package of Democratic gun control legislation that Republicans and Second Amendment activists have denounced as unworkable and unconstitutional.
The proposed ballot measure would amend the state' constitution so that only Colorado voters can decide whether to limit or restrict ammunition storage and devices.
The proposal was submitted to the nonpartisan Legislative Council, the first in a number of steps in getting an issue on the ballot.
House Bill 1224 — which is sponsored by Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora — is going back to the House, so lawmakers there can consider amendments to the bill made in the Senate.
It originally passed through the House in February and Gov. John Hickenlooper has indicated he will sign the bill into law if it arrives at his desk.
If HB 1224 becomes law, anyone who currently possesses a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds is able to keep it, though if they transfer or sell the magazine, that individual would face a class 2 misdemeanor charge.
"People can do a ballot measure" Fields said. "That's something they have a right to do."
On Monday, a pair of Republican Senators said they would not abide by law.
"I will willfully and purposefully and civilly disobey this law," said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray.

WASHINGTON — The United States on Wednesday repeated its call for Tehran to help three Americans — Robert Levinson, Amir Hekmati and Saeed Abedini — return to their families after lengthy detentions in Iran.
The State Department said in a statement that the U.S. is "respectfully" requesting the assistance from Iran's new president, Hasan Rouhani, who is seen as more moderate than his predecessor. Previous requests made to former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used slightly harsher rhetoric.
"President Rouhani has shared in his speeches and interviews over the past few months his hope and vision to improve the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran's relationship with the world," the statement said in the latest plea for the release of the three.
Levinson, a husband and father of seven, went missing from Kish Island in Iran in March 2007.
"His family has endured with courage and quiet dignity the pain of spending so many important family milestones without him there," the statement said.
"We call again on the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to uphold its offer to help find Mr. Levinson and return him safely to his family."
The State Department said Thursday marks the two-year anniversary of the detention of Hekmati, a former U.S. Marine who has been held in Iran since August 2011 on what the U.S. claims are false espionage charges.
Abedini has been detained since September 2012. He was sentenced to eight years in prison on charges related to his religious beliefs, and reportedly has suffered physical abuse in Iranian detention.

What's holding Kiwis back financially? Is it the Government, employers, poor wages, untrustworthy financial professionals, greedy baby-boomers who "got it all for free", youth unemployment, the recession, the dollar, immigration or a host of other excuses?
I've come to think the problem with Kiwis' personal finances isn't any of those, although some are hurdles to be overcome. The problem is a disease that inhabits the grey matter that I choose to call "wilful delusion". That's not a technical term that a psychologist or behavioural economist would use. It's my perception from digesting readers' letters and listening to those who comment on my articles.
Every week readers post a wide range of thought-provoking, insightful comments on my articles. Yet there are plenty more who will post that XYZ doesn't apply to them because their situation is "different".
Associate Professor of Psychology Marc Wilson at Victoria University in Wellington says humans need to think positively of themselves, which is why they might delude themselves.
"This means that when we make decisions we tend to think we have good reasons for them, and if they go sour we tend not only to hold off acknowledging that something has gone wrong, but to look for explanations that don't reflect on us."
This, says Wilson, is why many people who fall victim to scams
(a) Don't acknowledge they've been scammed until they have to
(b) Will throw good money after bad as a way of holding off the inevitable, and
(c) Will blame everything or everyone else for what's going on.
"The most relevant mechanism here is called cognitive dissonance - when we hold two incompatible beliefs. We rationalise away the incompatibility by, for instance, putting even more money into the failing proposition or holding off pulling the plug in the hope that things will get better."
One common wilful delusion I see is people and their spending. Everyone,it seems, are on the bones of their backsides and can't reduce spending. They delude themselves into thinking luxuries are necessities. Ask KiwiSaver providers who scrutinise the budgets of people who want to withdraw their money due to "hardship". I'm told many see their SkyTV subscription as an essential, not discretionary, spending.
People delude themselves in many ways with the assistance of a whole range of financial failings of the human brain. For example, says Mark Brighouse, chief investment officer at Fisher Funds, who has a keen interest in behavioural finance, the human brain even comes preprogrammed with defence mechanisms for when it makes the wrong financial decisions.
"Studies of financial forecasting show that people are more likely to blame some event that interfered with their forecast rather than admit that they lacked experience or had insufficient data."
Another common delusion is the belief that a bonus, tax refund, gift, or inheritance is found money to spend, not to save or use to pay off debt.
Yet studies by behavioural economists suggest again and again that if the same person had been paid a "rebate" of the same amount they'd be more likely to save it or pay debts.
"People have a tendency to place particular events into 'mental compartments'," says Brighouse, instead of looking at their overall situation. This is called "mental accounting" by academics.
The wilfully delusional think it's impossible for anyone to get ahead. "Young people nowadays are very lucky if they can get a job," said one reader. The reality is unemployment for the 15-24 age group is about 17 per cent. That means most youth (83 per cent) who want to work do. People use the minority to confirm their bias and delude themselves.
Confirmation bias is a known psychological concept. Wilson describes it as "the tendency to pay attention to things that support what we already believe (or want to believe)".
People also "frame" their conclusion according to their own starting position. If someone has been made redundant once, they might frame their decision that young people are never going to get jobs - and therefore an income - based on their own experience.
They might also assume that because the youth unemployment rate is high, it will always remain high. Looking at the figures for 20 to 24-year-olds, the unemployment rate recorded in the household labour force survey December 2012 was 13.1 per cent. Sure, that was nearly double the 6.4 per cent recorded in 2007, but the figures were higher in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and they were nearly as high in 1997 to 2000. Youth joblessness goes up and down.
Renters often use wilful delusion to convince themselves that it's impossible to buy a home in Auckland (or New Zealand) so don't try. I'm sick of hearing people say it's impossible for young people to buy their first home because the median house price is $535,000.
I would argue that it's easier to get on the housing ladder now than it was 20 years ago thanks to affordable apartments and KiwiSaver first-home withdrawals and subsidies. Sensible first-home buyers who opened KiwiSaver accounts five and a bit years ago are now getting first-home deposit subsidies of up to $10,000 a couple and are able to withdraw at least the same amount of their own savings. That's more than half a ready-made deposit on an apartment or a traditional first-home purchase in Massey or Manurewa.
Martin Dunn of real estate agency City Sales gave an example of a suitable apartment for a first-home buyer - which didn't have structural problems or a risk of huge ground rent increases. He cited a small one in the city zone building off Symonds St, which sold recently for $179,000. A first-home buyer would need about $30,000 as a deposit.
If half of that came from KiwiSaver, the other half could be put together over three years by cutting out one bottle of wine a week, a Lotto Powerball ticket, $5 a day on lunches, $4 a day on coffee and the basic SkyTV subscription. This would still leave pleasures such as clothing, music entertainment, and takeaways.
Using the same approach, a one-packet a day Winfield Blue smoker could save $24,306.64 over three years towards a house deposit by putting the money in a bank account paying 3 per cent instead of spending it on cigarettes. Assuming there are people on the minimum wage who smoke a packet a day, this could mean even they could afford to get on the property ladder.
KiwiSaver is another area where a chunk of people try hard to be wilfully delusional. The "I don't trust the Government brigade" were last week using the banking situation in Cyprus as their confirmation bias for why KiwiSaver is bad.
"Don't do it," one reader wrote this week about KiwiSaver. "The companies entrusted with your money are not guaranteed to pay out should they collapse. The Government will take it all on some pretext or another. The 'troika' that lent money to Cyprus? They lend to us too. To trust any institution/Government is to court calamity."
I've often noticed people delude themselves into thinking everyone has credit card debt. It's the norm. I read one book recently in which credit cards were described as one of the "scariest exhibits in the Museum of Mental Accounting".
Studies show that paying by credit card cheapens the money people are spending. "Credit cards disconnect the consumption decision from the financing decision and allow a delusion to take place," says Brighouse. People tip more generously when using credit cards, buy higher priced items and generally pay less attention to prices.
The irony is that the dollars people spend on their credit cards are more expensive than other dollars unless they pay their card balance off in full every month.
A final wilful delusion is failing to invest at all - thanks to another behavioural finance concept: loss aversion. Because there is risk of losing any money at all in KiwiSaver, shares or other investments, some people don't invest at all. Loss aversion also leads to selling at the bottom of the market. People delude themselves into thinking they've lost money if prices fall, instead of seeing it as a temporary blip or even an opportunity to buy more.

The purity of gold is measured in karats. The higher the karat amount, the more pure the gold is. If gold is 100% pure, then it is 24 karat gold (24K). In its pure form, gold is soft and malleable, but scratches easily and is unsuited for jewelry wear. Consequently, it must be alloyed with other metals to give it strength. Some of the most common forms of gold alloy include:
18K Gold - 18 parts gold, 6 parts other metals by weight (75% pure)
14K Gold - 14 parts gold, 10 parts other metals by weight (58.3% pure)
10K Gold - 10 parts gold, 14 parts other metals by weight (41.7% pure)
Yellow Gold The shade of yellow gold can vary based on the alloy. As the amount of gold increases, so does the brightness of the yellow color. The most historically popular of all three metal shades, yellow gold is easy to maintain for a lifetime of wear. White Gold While not a true metal, white gold looks similar to platinum, and is made from yellow gold and various alloys, including nickel and zinc. It is often plated with Rhodium, a white and reflective metal that provides an excellent protective coating. However, the protective layer of Rhodium will gradually wear off and require re-plating. Rose Gold Consisting of the entire red, blush, and pink gold shades, rose gold is formed by alloying pure gold with copper. The more copper used, the redder the hue of the gold. Considered to be the most romantic color of metal, rose gold is stronger than both yellow and white gold because of the strength of the copper used. Gold Care Some chemicals, including chlorine, can be damaging to gold alloys. To ensure that your gold stays in top-shape, bring it to your local Helzberg Diamonds store any time for a complimentary cleaning and inspection. You can also clean your gold jewelry at home by using a solution of warm water and detergent-free soap with a soft bristled toothbrush.

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure if this is considered shilling or not and if so...sorry. I interviewed Brandon Bonham on my blog Dark Match Diaries, about his wrestling career, focusing on his stints in PWG. If you're interested, you can find the link here: http://darkmatchdiaries.com/2012/04/25/ ... on-bonham/. It's a two part interview, the other part focusing on his music career with his band Barbarian Overlords. (I also have a music blog.) I'm looking to do more wrestler interviews in the future too. If anyone is interested in my music blog, I can send you the link. For those that check it out, thanks.

Our Research and Development ('R&D') strategy is at the heart of our business model. Through it we deliver pioneering products and services, and drive innovation across the markets we serve.
In 2015, we reiterated our commitment to R&D by announcing a single global organisation to be led by a new President of Global Research and Development, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
The new global R&D team will focus on delivering a broader portfolio of more meaningfully disruptive products and services, as well as a greater utilisation of digital technologies in medical devices. It will also enable better product life cycle management and alignment and sharing of resources across our franchises.
Our R&D experts in the UK, US, Europe, China and India have extensive customer and sector knowledge, which is augmented by ongoing interaction with our marketing teams.
Strict criteria are applied to ensure new products fulfil an unmet clinical need, have a strong commercial rationale, and are technologically feasible. The R&D function works closely with the manufacturing and supply chain management teams to ensure we can produce new products to clinical, cost and time specification. Our products undergo clinical and health economic assessments both during their development and post launch.
In 2015, we invested $222 million in R&D, in-line with our commitment, set out in 2011, to increase our investment level to around 5% of revenue. We expect to maintain this proportion going forward, but to realise greater benefit through our new structure. We have a strong new product pipeline for 2016, with many innovations scheduled.
We invest in scouting for new technologies, identifying complementary opportunities in our core and adjacent segments. The acquisition of robotics-assisted surgical business Blue Belt Technologies, announced in 2015, is an example of this activity.
We also invest in small companies developing compelling technologies in our franchise areas through our incubation fund. In addition to funding, we bring our expertise to help the development process, including supporting clinical studies, and typically secure preferred access to technology as it nears market readiness. Recent investments include exciting early-stage but high-potential technologies in sports medicine, extremities and trauma.
As part of our R&D strategy, Smith & Nephew supports and works with numerous small companies looking for help with developing and commercialising new technologies.
As supporters of NASA's TecFusion Open Innovation programe we access and support companies developing highly creative, often disruptive, technologies that are funded by the US federal government.
We are a primary sponsor of the Massachusetts Medical Device Development Center ('M2D2') New Venture Competition, supporting entrepreneurial product development by early-stage medical device companies.
We are the commercial partner in SWAN-iCare, an EU-funded initiative to bring multidisciplinary European research teams together to deliver a next generation integrated autonomous solution for monitoring and adapting personalised therapy of foot and leg ulcers.
Smith & Nephew also welcomes new product concepts from surgeons. Through our InVentures programme we collaborate to bring ideas to reality.
InVentures evaluates surgeon concepts for technical and market viability and our development team works hand-in-hand with surgeons to deliver new products that advance healing.
Commercialised products benefit from the global selling power of Smith & Nephew. In 2013, we introduced a new MODULAR RAIL SYSTEM for deformity correction and limb restoration that was designed in collaboration with Dror Paley MD through the InVentures programme.

i'm so sorry my friend.As i miss my mom and dad,and my sweet babes noah and sheba the holidays will never be the same as there will always be this emptyness.0166.jpg
My Uncle John who was like a second father to me passed away in 2008 unexpectantly is always in my thoughts especially around the holidays.And in September of this year my best friend of 20 years,her dad died after suffering for many years and 2 days after that my beloved cat Bootie had a heart attack & died so this Christmas is going to be a hard one.
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens
My dad. Second Christmas without him. Still miss him
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
I have an ornament on my tree that I made many years ago - actually about 32 years ago!!! The ornament includes a photo taken that year on Christmas Day. It was of the whole family - the people I had spent Christmas with my whole life. Three of them have passed away - my Dad passed away in 1989 (scary because I am his age now), my Grandma who died in 1996 and my favorite Aunt, who passed away in 2009. The ornament reminds me of all the great Christmases and great fun we had!
My brother-in-law died this past July at age 46. He loved Christmas! We will definately be thinking of him - especially on Christmas Eve!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
My dad, and relatives long gone.
And, the innocent souls in Newtown, CT.
I am adding the children and teachers lost in the recent shooting to the list of people I will remember this Christmas. Their families will also be in my thoughts as their hearts will be heavier and their Christmas less merry. I wish I could wrap my arms around them and take some of the weight, and though they will be missing their loved ones deeply, I still wish them a very happy Christmas. May they share a smile at the memories of the beautiful people they will be missing this year. My heart truly aches for them, I hope they can feel the love and support of those who will be thinking of them, as I am sure I am far from the only person who will hold them in their thoughts this year
When I was working extra as Santa Claus in a shoppincenter there was a little guy say about 3 yers old that came to me and wisperd in my ear "Santa claus,, I love you" This really came from the hart of the little boy and I got a warm feeling inside my chest, thats what christmas work is about. :-)
Christmas beliver with a passion for christmas-lights

When the driver in the silver Mustang on the left slides into the other guy's lane, cuts back, and loses traction again, he puts his foot back to the floor and wins the race. With $8,500 up for grabs, you don't lift.
We'll put this in the running for the Save of the Year, because winning a race after losing it twice in a row is just insane.
We're no fans of street racing here on Jalopnik, because we don't like when assholes crash into innocent people. This un-prepped run at last weekend's King of the Streets drags in Wisconsin, however, is something we can very much get behind.

text: Catholicism sees in Jesus Christ the full embodiment of God. Since God became human, then God is seen, touched, and heard in the context of human living. This is the principle of sacramentality and is our second defining trait. The Church celebrates certain rituals that make the saving presence of God tangible to us in different ways. They are wonderful moments of encounter with God that can deeply affect our lives. In Catholicism, there are seven such rituals that we call the Sacraments, with the Eucharist as our core Sacrament. The celebration of the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, plays a vital role in the life of the Gannon community. Catholic members of the University community are regularly afforded the opportunities for celebration of the Eucharist, other Sacraments, prayer, spiritual reflection, and other forms of authentic devotion. All members of the University community are welcome and encouraged to attend the celebration of the Eucharist. "The presence of priests, sisters, and experts from other denominations and religions on the Gannon campus provided a constant reminder to me of the centrality of faith in all our lives." –Gannon Alumnus However, the sacramentality of Catholic belief embraces more than our sacred rituals. As a Catholic university community, we believe that we live in a sacred world created by God. For this reason, every tangible element of creation from the natural environment to human persons provides an opportunity to encounter something of God's presence. Hence, every tangible element of creation can be a "sacrament" of God. Understood in this way, the principle of sacramentality affirms that as we study and explore the human condition and the natural environment, we are in actuality discovering more and more about the presence of God. Furthermore, our day-to-day activities, our service to others, our interaction with other people and ideas, our special celebrations, and our opportunities for celebrating other forms of authentic spirituality on campus can all be "sacraments" of God in our midst.

Lowering energy costs
Reducing energy costs is a top priority for many companies, be it to reach company-wide benchmark values concerning the efficiency of a site, to ensure that operating costs remain constant even when turnover is higher and electricity prices are increasing, or due to incentives offered by energy suppliers, such as attractive tariffs for clients using energy sparingly.
Internal combustion versus electric
Compared to alternatives with internal combustion engines, electrically-powered forklift trucks offer a whole host of benefits. They can be flexibly used both indoors and outdoors, are extremely low maintenance and reduce noise pollution considerably.

The term Java could refer to any of several things:
- The general purpose object-oriented java programming language originally devised by Sun Microsystems with an emphasis on portability between platforms.
- A particular java virtual machine allowing you to run java applications. There are several of these provided by various vendors.
- A java applet running as a web-browser plug-in (which requires the installation of a particular kind of java virtual machine).
Java is not the same as javascript, a scripting language now called ECMAScript, which is generally used in web-pages to cause pop-up windows, flashing lights and other annoyances.
Java Panorama Tools
Some of the original Panorama Tools by Helmut Dersch are written in Java and require a java virtual machine to run:
- PTPicker, the original graphical front-end for selecting control points.
- PTEditor, a tool for extracting, editing and re-inserting rectilinear views from equirectangular images.
- PTCrypt, a tool for encrypting JPEG images to make them viewable by PTViewer only in their original web-page context.
Note that none of these tools ever had source-code released, they are unlikely to have bug-fixes or be developed further. You can run them with varying degrees of success on various platforms using Sun JRE, Microsoft JVM, GNU GJC, IBM J2ME etc..
PTViewer Java applet
Also created by Helmut Dersch, PTViewer remains one of the highest quality applet viewers for equirectangular panoramas. PTViewer has available source-code, so it is still under active development.
Browser plugin issues
To use PTViewer in a web-page, the client web-browser needs to have a Java virtual machine available to run it.
Previously, this was almost universally the case, however Microsoft have stopped distributing their implementation with Internet Explorer (though many OEM sellers of Windows systems sell machines with Sun Java already installed) - So you can no longer guarantee that Java is installed.
Sun Java is a [free download from Sun, the download is about 15 MegaBytes and the installation is straightforward even for inexperienced users.

Timeless style and durable construction make this a watch for everyone's quiver. The Sentry SS is built to last, with a raised bezel to protect the crystal and a solid stainless steel band. The three hand movement with raised indices and day/date dial are a clean and classic combo. You know what time it is, and you have the watch prove it. The Sentry SS is vintage brought forward.

How should you use Misoprostol (cytotec)?
You will need 12 pills of misoprostol, 200 micrograms (mcg) each.
To cause an abortion, put 4 pills of of 200 micrograms (in total 800 mcg) Misoprostol under your tongue for 30 minutes. Do not swallow the pills (at least until 30 minutes after putting the tablets under the tongue!!)
After 3 hours put another 4 pills of Misoprostol under the tongue for 30 minutes. Do not swallow.
After 3 hours put another 4 pills of Misoprostol under the tongue again for a third time. Do not swallow.
If you use Arthrotec to induce an abortion, let the 4 tablets dissolve under your tongue until the outer mantle is dissolved for 30 minutes. Then spit out the inner hard tablet. The inner tablet is diclofenac, a painkiller; only one of the 4 inner tablets can be swallowed.

(originally published on September 11, 2012)
I can't remember the last time I looked at a new PPC account that ticked all the boxes when it comes to the settings available within Google AdWords. Some of the settings are very easy to understand and set up, whilst others can be a little more confusing.
The aim of this post is to talk you through all of the settings available for a Google Search campaign and how to use and implement them. Some of these may seem very obvious to you, but you would be surprised to know how many campaigns are purely opted into the standard settings only. Advertisers can be wasting so much money on their campaigns if they are not targeted correctly and following the advice in this post should help you to get the most out of your PPC advertising.
There are a lot of other settings for campaigns targeting the Display Network but I will leave this for a follow up post.
General – Type
When creating a campaign, you will automatically be opted in to All Features, which in my opinion is the best type to have. It allows you to reach your customers on Google Search using:
- Standard and mobile settings
- Various types of ads
- Different ad delivery methods
- All ad extensions
If you decide to go with the Standard campaign type, you would have access to all of the above, except for the various types of ads. You would only be able to create campaigns using the standard text ads.
You should only chose the Product Listing campaign type if you are looking to reach customers on Google Search to promote specific products alongside other advertisers' products. You will need to have the products added to the Google Merchant Centre to use this. When using this campaign type, you can include information such as:
- An image of your product
- A descriptive product little
- Price
- Your business or shop name
Once you have selected the campaign type, you will need to decide which network you want your campaign featured on. There are three options available to you here:
- Search and Display Networks
- Search Network Only
- Display Network Only
If you want to run campaigns on the Search and Display Networks, they should always be set up as different campaigns. It is not best practice to have both networks being targeted from one campaign. Based on this, I would always avoid the top option 'Search & Display Networks' and select either the 'Search Network Only' or 'Display Network Only'.
Once you have selected your campaign type and network, you can move onto the Networks setting. As we are only looking at settings for the Search Network, the only option that you will see here is to decide whether you want your ads to show purely on Google Search, or whether you want to be included on the Search Partners network.
Depending on budget constraints, I would always recommend that you start a campaign on both the Google Search Network and the Search Partners network. Once the campaign is live and collecting data, you can then decide at a later date whether or not to switch off the Search Partners network.
Note: You cannot opt out of the Google Search Network
Desktops & Laptops, Mobile Devices and Tablets
One of the most common mistakes I see with campaigns is that they are set up to target all types of devices. If you want to do PPC right, you need to have separate campaigns set up to target each device in its own right.
People search differently on mobiles compared to desktops. The search query tends to be a lot shorter on a mobile, so your keywords need to reflect this. Additionally, you only have two ad places shown at the top of the device, so your campaigns need to be highly targeted with a great Quality Score to rank in one of those spots, otherwise yours ads will not be featured.
Take a look at all the different targeting options available for a campaign. Google don't put these in for no reason, so make use of them and start creating highly targeted campaigns. Trust me, the results will speak for themselves.
Devices Available
This is where you decide which devices to show your ads on and also select only one per campaign. The default option from Google is to have all three ticked, so you will need to manually choose otherwise.
Operating Systems
If you are creating a mobile targeted campaign, you can select which Operating Systems you want to include. Nine times out of ten, I would select 'all available', although you may have a product or service that is specific to one of the operating systems, making this really useful.
Device Models
Next up, you can drill down to specific device models, which are broken down by Android and iOS. If you are running a campaign for a mobile phone provider who wants to promote a new piece of kit for a specific phone, you could use this feature to ensure the only people seeing your ads are those that are relevant to your campaign.
Most of the time, I would recommend showing your ads across all devices unless you have a very specific campaign that is being created.
Operators and Wi-Fi
Using this setting you can target specific operators and Wi-Fi providers so that your ads only show on mobile phones connected to a particular network. By leaving the default option selected, your ads will also show on phones when the user is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
The default setting here will be based on your top level account settings in AdWords and will automatically set the campaign to target the country you are located in.
If you are a small business that only offers a product or service in a certain location, you may not want to target the entire country and you can use this option to reduce the reach of your campaign to city, region or postcode level.
Targeting an entire country can be done using the standard location setting as shown below, but if you want to be more specific, you will need to select the Advanced Search option.
In the example below, I have chosen to show my ads in London and the surrounding areas. This should give me an ad reach of 14,400,000.
You can target your ads to multiple locations by simply adding them in the highlighted box below.
Location Options
If you are opting to show your ads in a certain location, the advanced location options will be of interest to you.
From within here, you can decide exactly who sees your ads:
- People in, searching for, or viewing pages about your target location
- People in your target location only
- People searching for, or viewing pages about your target location
The first option is the best as you will show ads to anyone that is searching for your product or service plus your location name.
Let's say for example that you are targeting searchers located in the UK. If you limit your ads to only show on Google to people who have selected English as their language, you will be limiting your reach. The reason being that you will exclude people who live in the UK but don't have their language set as English.
How you use this setting will depend on what your campaign objectives are and who you are looking to target.
Bidding and Budget
Bidding Option
There are four bidding options available to you for campaigns on the Search Network and you should be aware of the pros and cons for each.
Depending on the objectives and goals for your campaign, you may wish to try out these different bidding options as each of them can drive very different results.
The only setting that I would avoid using is the second on the list, which is where AdWords sets your bids to help maximise clicks within your target budget. I'd avoid using this setting as you could end up spending money on traffic that does not convert.
This is the area where you set the daily budget for your campaign. AdWords can recommend a daily budget based on the types of keywords you have in your campaign, but I would recommend going with a budget you are comfortable with, rather than allowing AdWords to determine this for you.
Delivery Method
There are two options available to advertisers with regards to how your daily budget is utilised – Standard or Accelerated.
Standard Delivery: AdWords will show your ads evenly throughout the course of a day to avoid reaching your budget to early.
Accelerated Delivery: AdWords will show your ads as much as possible from the start of the day. If you have a low daily budget, you will find that it is spent very early on, meaning that your ads will not be shown during the latter part of the day.
I would recommend using Standard Delivery for most campaigns to help you show your ads to your audience throughout the day, rather than just in the morning.
Schedule: Start Date and End Date
This is a very useful setting if you are creating a time sensitive campaign that you only want to run for a period of time. If you do not change the setting then the campaign will start on the day you activate it and will continue to run until you pause or end it.
Ad Scheduling
Certain businesses may want to show ads during certain times of the day and on certain days of the week. Standard ad scheduling will allow you to do this.
By clicking 'Running all day' on a certain day, you will be able to tell AdWords what times you want your ads to run. Likewise, if you don't want them to run on a certain day, you can choose to pause the campaign using this setting.
If you are unsure on what times to run the campaign, I would suggest running 24/7 and then letting the data tell you what times perform best for you once the campaigns have been running for a couple of weeks/months.
Ad Delivery: Ad Rotation
It's best practice to have at least two adverts running per ad group so that you can see which one performs best and optimise the campaign moving forwards based on that data. There are three options available to you within the ad rotation setting:
If you are looking to manually optimise your ads, then I would recommend going with the third option, Rotate Evenly, so that you have full control over this. Please note that if you do not update your ad text within 90 days, AdWords will automatically switch to showing the ad that has received the most traffic.
Keyword Matching Options
This is a recent addition to the AdWords settings which should definitely not be missed. If you are setting up highly targeted campaigns with keywords on Exact and Phrase match, you will most probably only want your ads to show for those keywords.
With this setting, you can tell Google whether or not you want your Exact and Phrase match keywords to show for plurals, misspellings and other close variants.
If you leave this to the default setting, AdWords will automatically opt you in to show your ads for the above options.
This setting is still in BETA, but it can be great to use if you want to try something out on a campaign and you are not entirely sure what results you will gain. I'm not going to go into detail on how you should be using this feature as it warrants its own post.
If you want to find out more about setting up an experiment, you can visit the AdWords blog – http://adwords.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/adwords-campaign-experiments-beta-split.html
IP Address Exclusion
This is a setting that is usually forgotten and can save you many wasted impressions and spend. If you have a large organisation, it is always best to exclude your own IP address so that when you are searching for any of your keywords, you will not see one of your ads and therefore your CTR will be higher.
You should also use this option to exclude any IP addresses which you know of that would not want to see your adverts.
Tracking URLs for Dynamic Links
This setting should be used if you have campaigns running with Product Listing ads or Product Extensions that are using dynamic tracking URLs. It allows you to track the clicks on the dynamically generated URLs that are used within your adverts. By using this, you will be able to monitor and track your ads more efficiently.
To start using this setting, you need to create a dynamic URL template with one of the following ValueTrack parameters:
- {lpurl}
- {lpurlpath}
- {unescapedlpurl}
When using these parameters, AdWords will bring in the URL that you have added to your product feed in the Google Merchant Center within the "adwords_redirect" attribute.

Decorate your front door with a cranberry wreath this holiday season. Here's how to make your wreath.
- 6-8 12-ounce bags of fresh cranberries
- Heavy duty wire for a hanging loop
- 14-inch Styrofoam wreath form
- 4 boxes round toothpicks
- Needle-nose pliers
- 2 yards of all-weather ribbon, any color
- Sort and select cranberries for firmness.
- Wrap wire around the top of the wreath form to create a small hanging loop.
- Break several toothpicks in half, sticking the broken ends into the cranberries.
- Using needle-nose pliers, attach the cranberries on the inside edge of the wreath first in even rows. Place the cranberries very close together so that the form does not show through.
- Repeat the procedure on the wreath's outer edge.
- To create a graduated, mounded effect on the face of the wreath: Attach a row of cranberries on whole toothpicks around the center. Reduce the height of the toothpicks as rows progress toward top and inside edge.
- Continue to attach the cranberries around the face, rather than edge to edge.
- Fashion all-weather ribbon into a bow and wire onto wreath on the center bottom.
Optional: Across the bottom portion of the wreath, replace the cranberries with soft branches of white pine. Attach the pine with U-shaped hairpins. For easier handling, you may want to hang the wreath to affix the pine.
You may choose to spray the wreath with clear lacquer for weatherproofing, but in cold winter weather, it will last for at least a month. Occasionally, a berry or two may need replacing.

I had no idea dulce de leche was so easy to make! I'm definitely going to try it myself.
Also, I totally browned butter and made brownies. It was a victory for the ages. I will be blogging about it soon!

These look so good! I love the gooeyness of them.

Now I want to watch Guys and Dolls and eat some of these concoctions. They look too good! Thank you for sharing this with me today. I hope you have a blessed week with good food, laughter and love. Hugs from Austin!

One of the best musicals ever... You could have chosen cheesecake too:
Nathan Detroit: Still, you will admit that Mindy's cheesecake is the greatest alive.
Sky Masterson: Gladly. Furthermore, I am quite partial to Mindy's cheesecake.

Haha, love it! I've sung a few songs form Guys and Dolls ad done dances with songs from it in musical theatre lessons, but I've never seen it :( I've seen Chicago if that counts? :)

Ok, now I really want to go see Guys and Dolls...and have one of these brownies too, please?!

I have not seen Guys and Dolls the musical, but I feel like there might have been a movie that I saw. The brownies look really, really great. I would definitely have another one too:)
- July 10, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- Beth said...
Thanks for all your comments! Raina, you're right, there was a movie with Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra, but I think the stage show was the best.
And Ruth, you are amazing! Only you could have come up with a more obscure food reference from G&D than I did!

One of the best musicals, and those brownies look fantastic. Another great musical recipe :)

- Justine L said...
These sound divine! I first saw Guys and Dolls with my father, who brought me to his high school students' production of it ... I felt so grown up sitting there in the audience with him. :) Thanks for jogging that memory.
- July 10, 2011 at 9:23 PM
It's so bizarre to say this, but I don't know that I've ever seen Guys & Dolls, which is weird because Mom was militant about us seeing theatrical performances as tots.
Your brownies look gorgeous - it reminds me that I need to hustle over to the store and get a metal/glass bowl that I can use to melt things a la the double boiler method. How this post triggered that, I'm entirely unsure.
- July 10, 2011 at 9:37 PM
I've made David Lebovitz's dulce de leche and it turned out great. I used it for a Dorie recipe, but I'm sure it would be fabulous on brownies!

My-Oh-My...Absolutely mouth-watering, Beth! BTW I want to go see Guys and Dolls :)

- Victoria said...
I'm not familiar with that musical, but I do love creating dishes and menus based on MOVIES! That's kinda my thing ;-) Would love to host dinner parties based around a movie and then watch it together. Your dulce de leche would definitely convince anyone to try it and watch the musical while they're at it as well :)
- July 11, 2011 at 9:00 PM
I'm familiar with dulce de leche, but not in brownies. They look delicious.

I love guys and dolls! What a fun source of inspiration! Dulce de leche never fails to make me smile. These sound amazing!

The magic words, Beth: dulce de leche. !!!
I've made something similar, but confess I end up eating more of the dulce de leche than ends up in the recipe.
Guys and Dolls is fabulous!

I'm not familiar with that way of making caramel, it looks super easy though. (I remember my mum sticking the tins in pans of boiling water, I guess that's frowned upon now).

This is one of those "off the cuff" blogs; because no one is home anyway, nor posting to their blogs. I have never considered Labor day to be a prime holiday; but last night someone near me was shooting off major fireworks and no one is posting to their blog. Gosh, you would think people have a life or something.
So, these are things I have noticed lately.
I love the writings and blogs of Crazy Aunt Purl and so does 88.5% of the blogsphere. No matter what blog I check out, it seems they have a link to *Crazy Aunt Purl* on their sidebar. I must say, it makes you feel at home. Congrats! Crazy Aunt Purl.
I found out this week, that if you do a post on Viggo Mortensen, your readership will double overnight. Mention his "girlfriend" and it will triple. Thanks and Congratulations to Viggo!
That of the X# of blogs linked to on my sidebar (cannot be specific because I added blogs today), only two blogs (of those I had on this morning) have posted this weekend:
1. Velvet Cerebellum The Velvet Cerebellum has posted this weekend and that was about a yarn orgy, so who could wait to post that?
2. My mother's poetry site, which I made a commitment to post to every day for a year. Of course, I post it, and I, obviously, have no life since I am also sitting here, posting to my blog.
That a rabbit will poop in her food dish if: a wasp is in her cage, or she is lonely, or she just doesn't like the food she is getting. The rabbit isn't telling, so I'm only guessing here. Perhaps she will not do it again though, as when I cleaned it all out and refilled it, she ate like a hungry pig.
That irritating Chihuahua cannot recognize a family member when they are walking past the house on the driveway.
And, that I just collated my blog links between this site and My Favorites because it will make things quicker, and I am killing time.
And, as JRockGuitarMan sits patiently and awaits his turn on the dial-up, I now will get offline and work on my book.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

As if these images from Elijah Wood's remake of the 1980 slasher flick, Maniac, weren't disturbing enough, here's a new trailer to haunt your dreams. This NSFW first look at the Franck Khalfoun-directed thriller features nudity, gruesome violence and the scalping of not just the dime-store mannequins, but real live women as well. The original, directed by William Lustig, starred Joe Spinell as Frank, a psychopath with a history of childhood abuse who takes women's scalps as trophies. Wood is doing his best to out-creep Spinell in this trailer and I dare say that he has succeeded. Maniac also stars America Olivo and Nora Arnezeder. Hit the jump to check out the trailer.
Ever since Wood distanced himself from his character, Frodo in The Lord of the Rings series by playing Kevin, the cannibalistic serial killer in Sin City, I've been looking forward to his return to the macabre. Maniac looks like it is going to satisfy that wish with guts and gusto. Wood can next be seen in both of The Hobbit films, as well as the indie thriller, Grand Piano and is currently filming Black Wings Has My Angel.
Here's the synopsis for Maniac followed by the NSFW trailer courtesy of Cannes (via First Showing):
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank's obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
*It's important to note that the early teaser footage from Maniac on the Cannes site had issues with syncing the audio and video. First Showing attempted to patch it together, but a few seconds were lost from the end in the process.

Francis Arinze
Cardinal Francis Arinze (born 1932) is a conservative leader in the Catholic Church, and the cleric whom liberals fear most as a contender to become the next Pope. An Igbo Nigerian, Cardinal Arinze was once the world's youngest bishop.
Cardinal Arinze has been an outspoken critic of homosexuality and abortion, comparing it to adultery and other sins.
His credentials include spending 25 years in the Vatican, enabling him to earn the respect of many other Cardinals.
Cardinal Arinze is over 80 years of age, and thus did not participate in the Papal conclave which chose Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who took the name Pope Francis, as the successor to Pope Benedict XVI.[1] The last Bishop of Rome to elected when he was over the age of 80 was Pope Gregory XII in 1406.[2]
