Random Ramblings—Hardback, Paperback, e-book…Oh my!
25 comments:
I've always loved paperbacks (and not just because they're cheaper). Hardbacks always seemed too bulky. I still don't care for e-books, but they sure are convenient. My daughter came to me at 10 last night and asked if I could download a book to her I-pod because she needed it for class. This sure beats the days when we had to rush out to the bookstore and hope they have the book in stock. :)
To answer your other question, I'd sign with any publisher willing to pay me for my words. :)

I think I like paperbacks best, but there's loads of advantages to an e-book (eg easy to read with one hand while doing other things). Hardbacks are good from an aesthetic viewpoint, but can be awkward and unwieldy.
I'm not snobbish. Getting my words out there is the most important thing to me!

i will take whatever i can get! i like paperbacks, they're the lightest =)
but i do believe one day, many years in the future, paper pages will become obsolete, a part of history... the process has begun in schools with the young, e catalogs and ezines, manuals online, bookstores closing =(

My preference used to be hardcovers - and there are still a handful of authors whose work I buy in hardcover - but over the years, I found I like trade paperbacks better. It's like the best of both worlds - bigger than a mass market paperback but smaller and easier to handle than a hardcover. As for ebooks, I've only read a few of them and they were shorter, more like novellas, and it was on my phone, so I don't have an opinion on that.
I would like to be published both in print (hardcover or trade paperback is fine!) and in ebook form. Readers are everywhere! :)

I like all forms of books, though I do have a soft spot for hardbacks. They aren't as expensive as they used to be, and they just look nice!
Also, I would love to see my books published in any form, there is no snobbery here!

It depends on where I'm reading. I am in LOVE with reading while working out and the Nook is the best way to go for that. It gives me about four hours of reading at least as I clamor between ellipticals, stairsteppers and stationary bikes. And when I'm traveling (which is often) the ebook is the way to go.
However if I'm in bed or just around the house I like to hold a book. That will never change. And I love having a book shelf too.
I'm not sure what I think about being only published in one form or another. Whether its just ebooks or just hardbooks. I think most read from all formats so I would prefer to be published in all...
Oh to be published :)

I would sign with the kid down the street who wanted to sell my work in crayon!
Seriously, I think e books will keep growing and it will be a thorn in the side of big houses. I love that I can take a chance on new writers. I mean I got Jolene Perry's "Night Sky" (loving it) ; Annalisa Crawford's "Cat and the Dreamer" (loved it too); and Linda Sands "Not Waving, Drowning" (love it too)...each for 2.99...less than a value meal. I would probably be less inclined to buy at $10. It gives me a chance to try new things. It's like a freaking smorgasborg and I'm loving it.

I still love the feel of a hardback, but I've taken to looking for the ebook first.

- Chantele Sedgwick said...
I love hardcovers, as you know, but as long as the book is good, I don't really care how I read it. And obviously I don't care how I'm published, since my publisher does paperback and e-book. A few years ago I would have been sad, since I'm obsessed with hardcovers, but if someone is willing to pay me to write, I don't care how the book comes off the press! :)

I still love paper books best, but I'm growing to love ebooks a lot. If a publisher offers me an ebook only deal, I'd still take it!

Cassie, you crack me up!

I'm kind of a snob too, I prefer hardback if it's a book I love! Lately though, I'll take what I can get. And I have a nook, which I love to read on on occasion, but I prefer to have the real thing in my hands, especially if there's a part I want to keep turning back to (like a saucy kisisng scene, lol--yeah, I admit, I reread those!), it's harder to find on a device than having the book. There's just something comforting about books, about *paper*.

I love the feeling of a hardback, but usually purchase paperbacks. Now that I have my Kindle Fire, I've been enjoying e-books. I guess e-books are like ice cream, there isn't a "flavor" I don't.
- March 22, 2012 at 10:20 AM
- Danielle B. said...
I like paperbacks. They're lighter, cheaper, and depending on the size -easy to conceal.
But my kindle is much more convenient. I like being able to buy a book with the touch of my finger!
- March 22, 2012 at 10:44 AM
- Sarah Pearson said...
For me, hardbacks only look good on a shelf, they're too heavy, you can't carry them around in your handbag and you can't read them in the bath :-)
I've always loved paperbacks. I have the kindle app on my pc but I'm not a lover because when I read, I like to curl up somewhere. I think it would be different if I had an actual tablet. I don't know which way I'll go when I start submitting, but I won't rule any publisher out. Ebooks are definitely here to stay :-)

I'm down with anything. I'll take what I can get. But lately, I prefer reading on my kindle.

- Leigh Covington said...
Stop it right now! You have to stay a book snob with me!
I'm terrible about. I love my pretty hardbacks although I'm okay with a paper back too. There are some books that I really want to read that are only available on e-book so I'm going to finally delve into that world, but I still love my babies on my shelf. :)
- March 22, 2012 at 11:56 AM
- Aldrea Alien said...
I prefer small paperbacks to hardbacks and tradesizes since I can fit more on a shelf. There are a few bigger books that aren't in danger of being replaced by smaller versions (short story collections mainly, though there's also a first edition I'm not yet willing to let go).
Despite having about thirteen books on it, I've yet to read more than a few lines on my kindle. It is cute though. I can actually see myself liking it when I get around to reading a novel on it. Which is weird because I swore I'd hate eReaders.

- Jaycee DeLorenzo said...
I'm a fan of paperbacks and ebooks. I love the way hardbacks look, but the prices for them are ridiculous, they're bulky and hard to hold in a comfortable way when I'm vegging, and you can't hold them correctly in the bath.
As for publishing, it wouldn't affect my decision to publish with a company.
- March 22, 2012 at 1:32 PM
- Jeff Hargett said...
I've always favored paperbacks, preferring them for feel and cost. However, I've found reading e-books on my tablet to actually be easier on my eyes. That, coupled with the fact that I can tote hundreds of books on that gadget with no additional weight or bulk is way cool.
- March 22, 2012 at 9:11 PM
- Meredith said...
If price were no issue, I'd love to buy only hardbacks. I use them for decoration around my apartment. :)
- March 22, 2012 at 9:52 PM
- Jeremy Bates said...
I prefer hardbacks as well; however, when it comes time to moving...yikes! On thing I have learned from moving is to NEVER fill up a box with books just because there is room.
As long as a publisher was a good one, I'd go with any format, albeit my last choice would be an eBook.
- March 23, 2012 at 4:09 AM
- Melissa Sarno said...
I love this question (seriously, it got me irrationally excited.) I am a paperback lover. I love that it's flimsy, that I can dog-ear the pages and crease the seam. For me hardbacks are too rigid and difficult to maneuver, particularly since I read on the subway, on the go. I do not own an e-reader and don't plan on buying one. But I recently read a kindle single on my phone. I liked the experience. A lot.

Patient Testimonials
We feel fortunate to have received reflections from our patients about how Conway Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Clinic has helped them.
Here are some of our favorites:
Dr. Dodge gave me a very thorough examination of my problem area and recommended treatment. The nurses showed me how to use the boot I was prescribed and told me about the meds I was prescribed and how to take them. Everyone I encountered was very pleasant and helpful. The X-ray technician was especially friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my visit.
– Ruby V.
Dr. McCarron is very soft spoken and patient. He makes sure the patient is comfortable and explains everything in detail. Very, very good doctor. I would recommend anyone to him. He is awesome!
– Kamryn S.
Dr. Smith and his nurse Karen were so wonderful with my son. I couldn't ask for a better Dr. He is very nice and caring. Thank you for all that you have done for my son! Thanks!
– Austin V.
My appointment with Dr. Roberts was great! Everyone was very pleasant and performed functions professionally and with cheerfulness. Dr. Tom Roberts is an outstanding physician who always makes me feel better and diagnoses correctly and very professionally. I consider him among the top physicians in Arkansas. I am so glad he and his staff are here in Conway. Thank you to all of you.
– Shirley W.
Dr. Dodge and his staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and easy to talk to, making my situation much more comfortable to deal with.
– Marti R.
In early 2000 I began to have joint problems and discovered that my left hip was worn out. I had never had a major surgery and was nervous but you told me you would pray before surgery and I had never heard of a doctor praying before surgery. It made me feel a lot better. The surgery went great and in 2008 I had my right hip replaced. In 2009 my left knee and in 2011 my right knee were replaced. I give all the credit to my Lord and Savior, Dr. Ghormley and his staff, for the job they did to nurse me back to health. Conway Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Clinic is the best in the world!
– Zelmor D.
My experience with Conway Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Clinic was positive in every aspect. Dr. Howell and his staff made sure I knew what to expect and how to take care of my hand after the surgery. The surgery was a complete success and I did not experience any pain during or after the surgery. I now have full mobility in my right hand and the pain I experienced for ten months with my "trigger finger" is just a memory.
– Sheila B.
Everyone was a blessing during the entire process of my surgery. I will and have already used Dr. Howell and his staff at his office and Conway Regional and will use them again if I ever need anything else!!! I love them all!!
– Vicki K.
The service and care I received from Dr. Dodge was very professional with excellent results.
– David T.
I would like to say thank you to Dr. Howell and his staff at Conway Orthopaedic. For years I have suffered from arthritis pain in my thumbs as well as carpel tunnel syndrome. Over the past year I have received wonderful care from Dr. Howell. The surgeries he performed on both of my hands were successful and I have recovered quite well. Dr. Howell is knowledgeable and he always took the time to explain each procedure thoroughly. Thanks to Dr. Howell, I can now perform my daily activities pain free. I continually recommend Dr. Howell and Conway Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Clinic to my family and friends.
– Sheila R.
I was very impressed with the demeanor of Dr. Roberts and his entire staff. Everyone was cheerful and put me at ease. I know that I will have to have at least minor procedures done in the future and feel that I will be in good hands.
– Edward K.
Dr. Scott Smith is an excellent doctor and is commended for what he does to help people with their problems. My husband, Carroll, has had both knees and both hips replaced by Dr. Smith. He has also helped me with my knee pain with the steroid injections I have received. We highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone needing orthopaedic care.
– Carroll & Barbara S.
My experience with Conway Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Clinic has been exceptionally positive. I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. After finding out that I needed surgery because I had ruptured my Achilles tendon, Dr. Scott Smith was able to schedule my surgery that same week. Dr. Smith and his staff made sure I knew what to expect before and after my surgery. My surgery was a complete success and I did not experience much pain after the surgery. Today I am able to run and participate in sports as I did before my surgery.
– Bennie P.
Dr. McCarron and Nurse Margaret have taken excellent care of me and my orthopaedic needs for the past 16 years. They are truly a blessing to me and my family.
– Jackie M.
Dr. Scott Smith performed my total knee replacement surgery in August of 2009. The operation was very successful. Dr. Smith was very nice and did a very good job informing me of what to expect. When I have my other knee done, I will definitely choose Dr. Scott Smith to perform the surgery.
– Lucille K.
I have known Dr. Tod Ghormley for over 12 years. Dr. Ghormley has done many operations on me from carpel tunnel surgery to a total knee replacement. I have had excellent results from every procedure he has done. He is truly a Christian doctor who prays with his patients both before and after their operations. He is involved in many mission trips helping the less fortunate both here and overseas. He is an outstanding doctor I would highly recommend to anyone needing orthopaedic care. His staff is likewise excellent, very courteous and helpful.
– Bob K.

The Olympics have come to London and the world's greatest athletes have competed for the highly coveted gold medals. But athletes shouldn't have all the fun so we have compiled a list of the traits you need to develop in order to become a gold medal winning property investor.
Master all of these and you too will be a gold medal winner (In our eyes)
Identify your goals.
Successful athletes will always have a big goal in mind and so should property investors. Make sure your goal is specific and has a deadline. Without a clearly defined goal how would you ever measure your success?
Develop a strategy.
Gold winning Olympians didn't turn up to the games and hope for the best, they had a strategy and executed it efficiently. Once a property investor has set a goal, the next step should be to formulate a strategy. Don't start randomly investing, use your strategy to establish the best way forward. You may want to speak with an expert who has already had success to help you create the best plan.
None of the successful athletes at London 2012 arrived without researching their competition and the performance venue. Equally, property investors should never invest blind. There are plenty of tools available to make property investment research easy, make sure you spend the time to check them out.
Buy below market value
To be a gold winning property investor you have to adhere to this rule. Buying below market value is one of the biggest perks in property investment but it does require effort to achieve.
Don't rush in – but don't procrastinate
While you should always take the time to set your goals, create a strategy and complete your research, make sure you don't get left at the starting block. Don't be an 'also ran' do the required work then take action!
Use a team
All of the greatest Athletes have a great team around them and the same goes for property investors. If you would like Rescue my Pension as part of your team request a call back and we would be happy to join your quest for property investment gold.
Congratulations! You are now a gold medallist in property investment, what will your legacy be?

Self tanner will give you a summer glow without baking in the sun and putting yourself at risk for skin cancer. Self tanner comes in different forms, such as lotion or spray, but they are all messy to apply. This may leave you with tanner on areas where you don't want it, such as your fingernails.
Soak your fingers in warm, soapy water. Use a mild soap such as body soap or dish soap and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.
Cut the dead, stained skin away from the base of your nails using a cuticle trimmer.
Fill a container with warm water and drop in one or two denture cleaning tablets. Let the tablets dissolve thoroughly before placing your fingers in the container. Soak each hand for five to 10 minutes.
Use an old toothbrush or nail brush to scrub your fingernails. Do not forget to scrub the underside of the nails as well.
Rub your nails with nail polish remover or lemon juice on a cotton ball, if you still see stains. Soak your fingers in lemon juice if that doesn't work.
You can prevent stains on your fingernails by wearing thin gloves when applying self tanner. Apply it to the back of your hands with a makeup sponge.

This is our most traditional service.
We use words from Common Worship, together with hymns or more modern songs accompanied by the organ.
The sermon theme follows the lectionary readings, and we enjoy coffee together afterwards.
It's a great way to start a Sunday, as the service provides space and time for reflection and personal prayer.

What do you do when you're being outmarketed by a giant rival? In HTC's case, you hire the person who helped build your rival's brand.
HTC confirmed today that it has brought on former Samsung U.S. marketing head Paul Golden as a consultant, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Golden helped to build and launch Samsung's Galaxy brand in the U.S., which led it to quickly become the leading Android phone maker. He'll serve as a consultant to HTC chairwoman and cofounder Cher Wang — so he'll most likely offer up some pointers on strategy and won't have a direct role managing HTC's marketing efforts.
HTC has gone through three separate CMOs over the past few years, which explains its murky marketing efforts. To help bring things on track, Wang, HTC's largest shareholder, is now taking charge of HTC's marketing efforts, operations, and customer service, Businessweek reports.
HTC was the leading Android phone maker in the platform's early years — but as Android matured and Samsung deployed its multi-carrier Galaxy S releases backed by obscene amounts of marketing funds, HTC has been unable to compete. Its One smartphone was last year's best Android phone but didn't make a dent in Samsung's dominant market share.
At this point, HTC needs all the marketing help it can get. Last year it launched a series of ads starring Robert Downey Jr., which had fun with the company's branding but didn't do much to sell phones. With its new One M8 smartphone, HTC kicked off an ad campaign with actor Gary Oldman, which simply asks consumers to "Ask the Internet" about HTC's phones (while Oldman stares on creepily).
While HTC clearly tried to be creative with its most recent ads, they seem a bit too high concept for a company that's struggling for consumer mindshare. Now that Wang is taking charge and has Samsung's former brand genius on tap, HTC may finally figure out a way to market its phones effectively.

One of the more used plots in silent westerns was the one about the son searching for the villain who killed his father. In The Lariat Kid, a thoroughly average oater on all fronts, Hoot Gibson played the son, a lawman just like his murdered father. Ann Christy was the inevitable girl, and the brutish looking C.E. Anderson took the role of the killer, holed up in the notorious bandit's lair of Hell's Gulch. A lot of good western professionals took credit for this already then-stale plot, including former director Jacques Jaccard, who co-wrote the screenplay from an "original" story by Buckleigh Fritz Oxford. Leading lady Ann Christy is best remembered (if remembered at all) as Harold Lloyd's girlfriend in Speedy (1928), the comedian's final silent. Christy was later seriously injured in a car accident, which forced her to retire in the early 1930s.

MOSCOW — After paying their final tributes Tuesday to slain Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov, many members of Russia's beleaguered opposition are looking into the future with gloom.
The sadness and loss that drew thousands to Nemtsov's funeral is unlikely to add vigor to the small and marginalized opposition, or dent the broad public support for President Vladimir Putin.
Many believe that his shooting death on a bridge near the Kremlin wouldn't have been possible without official involvement, and that sends a chilling signal to government opponents, who fear it could herald a new, brutal era of reprisals.
Thousands of mourners and dignitaries filed past Nemtsov's white-lined coffin, and many wept as they offered flowers.
"He was our ray of light. With his help, I think Russia would have risen up and become a strong country," said 80-year-old Valentina Gorbatova.
So many came that when the viewing ended after its scheduled four hours, a line still stretched for hundreds of meters (yards) outside the hall named for the Soviet-era dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Andrei Sakharov.
Mourner Marsel Shamsudinov said he had come from Kazan, 700 kilometers (450 miles) east of Moscow, to show that unlike the vast majority of Russians who watch nothing but state-run TV, there are people "who do think and see that the government system is unfair and that we need to change a lot in our country."
But while feelings of anger and grief ran strong at the funeral, few believe that the opposition — fragmented and weakened after years of relentless crackdowns — could pose a serious challenge to Putin, who is supported by 85 percent of Russians, according to recent polls.
Kremlin critics say the virulent nationalist propaganda on state television, which cast the 55-year-old Nemtsov and other liberals as Western stooges, helped prepare the ground for his killing on Friday night.
Nemtsov had been a deputy prime minister under Russia's first elected president, Boris Yeltsin, who touted him as his likely successor before opting instead for Putin. Although his influence in mainstream politics vanished, Nemtsov had remained one of Putin's most vehement critics. In a radio interview a few hours before his death, he denounced the president for his "mad, aggressive" policies in Ukraine.
Putin dubbed Nemtsov's killing a "provocation," and nationwide TV networks quickly picked up the theme, blaming Western intelligence agencies, Ukrainian agents or even the opposition. They focused heavily on a 23-year-old Ukrainian model who was with Nemtsov when he was slain, with some suggesting their relationship could be a motive.
The nation's top investigative agency echoed Putin's comments, saying it was looking into whether Nemtsov had been a "sacrificial victim" to destabilize Russia. It said it was also investigating whether Islamic extremism, the Ukraine conflict and Nemtsov's personal life were possible motives.
No suspects have been arrested. Divers searched for the gun in the Moscow River under the bridge where Nemtsov was killed by four shots in the back.
The area is always packed with uniformed and plainclothes agents and security cameras, making it hard for any attacker to go unnoticed. Kremlin critics say Nemtsov, like other prominent opposition figures, was under close surveillance, implying possible official involvement in the assassination.
Among those mourning Nemtsov were U.S. Ambassador John Tefft; Russian Deputy Prime Ministers Sergei Prikhodko and Arkady Dvorkovich; tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets who ran against Putin in 2012; and Yeltsin's widow, Naina.
Former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who has joined the opposition, also was there, as was Nadezhda Tolokonnikova of the dissident punk group Pussy Riot.
But Polish and Latvian lawmakers were prevented from entering Russia for the funeral. They were on a list of officials barred from the country in retaliation for European Union sanctions against Moscow in the Ukraine crisis.
Russia's leading opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, also was not allowed to attend because he is serving a 15-day jail term for unauthorized leaflet distribution.
Navalny has bluntly accused Putin of ordering the killing to scare the opposition. "Fear must grow and economic problems should be compensated by police controls," he wrote on his blog.
Navalny was a driving force behind anti-Putin protests in 2011 and 2012 that drew more than 100,000 into Moscow's streets. The wave of demonstrations abated after Putin began a crackdown on dissent following his re-election to a third term in March 2012, with repressive new laws and arrests of activists.
Navalny has a following in the capital, as does Mikhail Khodorkovsky, an oil tycoon who spent 10 years in prison for challenging Putin's rule and left Russia after his release in December 2013. Navalny's energy and charisma, and Khodorkovsky's wealth and entrepreneurial talents make them the two most prominent opposition leaders, but neither has a chance to expand their support base quickly beyond the urban middle class in Moscow and a few other big cities.
Alexei Malashenko, a researcher with the Carnegie Endowment's Moscow office, wrote that Nemtsov's slaying would be unlikely to re-energize the opposition, which "will remain as incoherent as before and will pose no threat to the regime."
Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula a year ago helped further swell Putin's popularity amid a wave of increasingly spiteful nationalist and anti-Western propaganda on state television. With Russia's economy plunging into recession under slumping oil prices and Western sanctions, Putin has sought to shift the blame and portray critics of his Ukrainian policy as "national traitors."
The government also has backed nationalist groups, which have threatened reprisals against liberal foes of the Kremlin.
Veteran human rights activist Lev Ponomarev, echoing many opposition figures, said the strong nationalism and intolerance of dissent under Putin has coarsened society and encouraged violence.
"In this atmosphere of violence and hate, these killings will only continue," he said.
Some say Putin may have lost control of the situation after giving his blessing to the rise of violent nationalism.
Respected political scholar Georgy Mirsky said some members of extremist nationalist groups could have reckoned that killing Nemtsov might force Putin to abandon any compromise with the West over Ukraine and take a harsher path.
"They want the government to conduct a tougher and more consistent course, stop fearing to openly send troops into Ukraine, and provoke the West," he wrote in a blog.
Mirsky added that extreme nationalists may have the support of some law enforcement officials.
Alexander Baunov, a Carnegie researcher, said the killing could reflect a high-level battle over the direction the country should take.
"It's clear that in the Russian elite there are supporters of the soft approach and supporters of the tougher approach," he told The Associated Press. "There are forces that want to force Russia into greater isolation and take a tougher approach against the opposition at home."
Putin has ordered heads of law enforcement agencies to personally oversee the Nemtsov investigation. He has promised the opposition leader's 86-year-old mother Dina Eidman — who stood mournfully before his coffin at Troekurovskoye cemetery — that the killers would be tracked down.
Few expect the probe to point at the real culprits, however, especially if the links go to high echelons of the government.
"Even if you think about the government as a kind of leviathan, there are still different parts of the leviathan," Baunov said. "It's very difficult, very painful, for the leviathan to cut off its own tail."

Making of men's dress shirt involves the following major steps.
1) Cutting Process
In the cutting process, the cloth is cut to the proper sizes, then is inspected, assorted, and arranged to facilitate flow to the sewing process. Cut cloth must be combined with the interlining, if to be applied. The cutting process consists of the following four processes:
(1) Drawing
A paper pattern is placed on the cloth and the pattern is copied on the cloth.
(2) Cloth Laying
The cloth is spread and piled on the cutting table.
(3) Cutting
The cloth is cut by a knife-type cutting machine or a die cutting machine.
(4) Arrangement
The cut cloth and interlining are inspected, assorted, and bundled, and a slip is attached to the bundle.
2) Sewing Process
In the sewing process, the cut cloth is sewn one by one and the whole cloths are made into the finished product. Generally, each part of shirt is made at different section and the shirt is made in an integrating way. As the workers become specialized the work is mastered in a short time, and efficiency is improved. 80 % of the direct labor of the sewing factory serves for the sewing process.
3) Finishing Process
In the finishing process the completely sewn shirt is inspected, pressed for body finishing and collar finishing, ironed to the proper shape and then folded and packaged.

When ants invade, follow them home
Most of our homes are safe, warm and just perfect for raising a family. And with the rainy cold weather of recent days, many insect pests have come to realize this as well. As we move into the nicer days of spring, ants are becoming a problem. Actively searching for food or a new place to nest, they are ending up in our home, office or other indoor facility. So if you turned on the lights this morning and found ants covering the countertop, here are some control strategies:
We typically think of ants as outdoor pests that invade the picnic table when we leave to play a game of volleyball. However, there are more than 100 common species recognized as household pests that nest indoors behind molding, baseboards and countertops. Whether you're dealing with an indoor or outdoor ant, control begins with finding the nest – a task much easier said than done. Ants typically follow regular routes or chemical trails between the food source and their nest. Watch the ants to locate their trail. Try to follow them back to the nest. I once followed a trail from the kitchen counter to a nest located 20 feet out in the yard. The journey took them through a tiny hole in the kitchen window, across the roof of a covered porch, down the drain spout of the gutter, over a small concrete walk and into the grass another 5 feet!
If you're not so lucky and can't find the nest, you might consider treating the exterior of the house using an insecticide labeled for use as a lawn treatment. Apply the treatment in a 2-to 4-foot-wide area around the entire building. This treatment is temporary, and retreatment may be necessary. Some examples of exterior-use chemicals are carbaryl (Sevin), Acephate (Orthene) and various synthetic pyrethroids such as cypermethrin, cyfluthrin, lambda cyhalothrin, bifenthrin and permethrin.
Inside efforts should center around the use of baits. Foraging workers feed on the bait and take it back to the nest, where they share it with the rest of the colony. However, baits are slow-acting, and it may take several weeks to see a reduction in numbers. Likewise, not all ants are equally attracted to baits. Experiment with foods that are attractive to the ants. Try peanut butter, sweets, fruit or meat products. A homemade bait can be made by mixing two parts boric acid to 98 parts food attractant (1/4 teaspoon boric acid to about 4 tablespoons food attractant). These baits should be placed on small jar lids, pieces of cardboard, in straws or something similar and located in places where ants are commonly observed.
It is generally assumed that careless cleaning habits will make the area more attractive to ants. Of course, it's hard to be specific about how clean is clean enough. However, when faced with an ant problem, increased efforts of proper food storage, waste disposal and cleaning of surfaces will be needed. Crumbs, dried liquid drops and uneaten food scraps make perfect meals for foraging ants.

Welcome back to my eight-part series providing marketers with growth hacks for their paid search campaigns. I began the series last month by focusing on how brand protection in paid search has become a quick way for search marketers to drive meaningful campaign revenue.
Today, I will focus on an SEM growth hack that uses competitive data to grow your paid search results in a big way. My focus today will be on text search ads only. Stay tuned for Part 6 for tips on improving shopping ads.
Let's jump right into how to achieve monster growth in PPC using competitive data. This is basically written like a recipe, so follow each step:
In order to use competitive data in the most productive way, you need to identify a keyword sub-set to focus on. Your goal is to ensure that you have a defensible position on your best performers and to take that defensible position to the next level by actually winning on those keywords.
I like to use keywords that fall into these buckets:
Next, you need to gather competitive data on these keywords that really can only be pulled together through crawling/scraping the search results and making observations. To do that, you need an ad monitoring tool. While some might try to accomplish this task with free engine tools like Auction Insights, I've repeatedly found that the data is not detailed enough to accomplish what we need to do here.
Your ad-monitoring tool needs to crawl multiple times daily to generate sufficient data points. These third-party tools can also provide insights such as when your competitor first and last appeared on each of your keywords — essential for understanding their keyword strategy — and even a list of the engines and marketplaces they advertise on.
When that's done, you will have essential competitive data points, including rank, frequency/impression share, ad copy, ad variations, ad extension use and a full list of the competitive landscape.
Incorporating multiple sources into market share analysis also provides a check and balance on the engine's own data. I recommend that digital agencies, in particular, use ad monitoring tools for their clients. They provide a third-party, unbiased perspective on performance and help the agencies justify asking their clients to increase budgets to boost market share.
After you identify your priority competitors from this list, your first step to defeating them is to compare your quantitative results against theirs.
The important metric for this growth hack is called search marketing visibility. For each of your profitable keywords, it tells you who is more visible, you or your competitors.
Search marketing visibility is a combination of ad-serving frequency (impression share) and page position (rank). The better the combination of these two data points, the more visible you are.
While many search marketers optimize their ad rank and impression share metrics separately, I advise against it. If you have a high-ranking ad that rarely shows up, or a low-ranking one that appears often, both of these scenarios cause problems for a click-focused marketer. A statistic which combines both impression share and rank into a score is going to give you, directionally, the best information.
With your single visibility score in hand for each keyword, extract the ones with lower visibility than your competitors. Then, apply the following fixes:
With your quantitative benchmarking completed, it's time to qualitatively assess your competitors' ads. Start by focusing on their messaging, specifically these elements:
This messaging lives on both the SERP and their landing pages, so look at both. The goal here is to learn how your competitors message consumers and incentivize them to click.
Now it's time to plan your response. For example, you can test similar messages to theirs in new ad variations in your campaigns. You can also test their offers in the callout section of your ad extensions, or even improve the messages or offers in your Display URL.
These actions will help you learn which combinations of ad copy and offers produce the most interest from searchers.
Taking a broad look at your campaigns can often generate quick insights to boost your market share. Here are the macro-level areas to focus on:
Competitive ad monitoring is the new hack for driving monster revenue growth in PPC market share. The five-step plan I shared above helps marketers gather a broader perspective of their own campaigns and make more informed strategic decisions.
When marketers adopt a "forest" instead of a "trees" approach, they can better understand their keywords and competitors, develop appropriate benchmarks for search visibility and borrow best practices from their competitors' messaging and offers. Optimization will never be complete without competitive intelligence.
Stay tuned for Part 3 in my series on growth hacks for search marketers. That article will discuss how to properly assess your competition and performance in the organic listings and provide tips on how to boost your organic visibility.

See it was Superhero Day, and they chose to dress up as "Captain Underpants" of children's fiction fame.
Despite the fact that they were obviously not nude, (they wore flesh colored body stockings under the underwear, and a red cape) the principal said "But the appearance was that they were naked." And told them to change or be sent home. They went home. You go girls. What's the big freaking deal? I think Michael K said it best with his comment: it could've been worse…they could've dressed up as Rambo and shot everyone.
Hmm, maybe I should do that for Halloween...

Oh Noo.....Not Again....
"Good Morning ! You can use the bathroom first today" said my smiling sister. My God ! I can't handle such big surprises that early in the morning. For the first time in my life , I reached college with 30 mins for the bell. Then came the good news – "The last date for submission of assignments is extended by 2 days ". For once I felt – " The world is so nice , lecturers are so sweet & I'm so very lucky ". I reached my classroom & as a routine walked up to the guy who is the topper of my class to kindle him off and said – " Hey buddy, ask me if you have any doubts. I teach better than girls ". With a Charlie Chaplin look on his face, he replied – " Are you alright ? " . I un-temptingly refrained to say – " You egg-headed rascal . You minus the ' syllabus in your head ' equals only a Papaya seed. (Wow, that was too complex even for me. But actually I always wanted to say such facts to him as he perpetually pisses me off). Then entered my lecturer with the 'Examination Result Sheets' . To my surprise, I was announced as the class topper this time. Elated I became. Everyone started clapping hands and I felt augmented & happy, though I always felt 'clapping hands' was a silly, childish gesture when I was on the other side.
I was over the moon & everything seemed so rosy-rosy. Just then I heard some weird sounds tickling my mind. I contemplated the sounds for a while only to end up shouting- " Oh Shit , it's my alarm & I'm still on the bed ". I just couldn't convince myself that it was all just a dream.
" Oh Noo….. Not Again…"
"I'm using the bathroom first " said my kind sister. Asusually, I reached college with just 5 mins for the bell. The last date for submission of assignments wasn't delayed. Not for once I felt- "Such a battered world , lecturers are atrociously sulky & I'm 'light years' away from being lucky ". I went straight to Mr.Topper and asked- " Dude, completed the assignment? ". He said- " Ofcourse. Submitted yesterday itself. You didn't ? Don't worry, ma'am will screw you ". My lips were rattling with countless special words. I recalled the 'complex dialogue' of my dream and said it straight. Before he could even understand it, ma'am (aka terrorist) stormed in with the results sheets in her hand. To my awful luck, I was right in her way when she almost bumped into me. It was then she realised that I'm a 'not so favourite' student of her & asked- " Where is the assignment?"
"Kick my bad luck to the core" I thought but said " I wrote it but forgot to get it" .
She wore this expression on her face which reflected a thousand synonyms of 'Get Out' .
She said- " Haha, nice joke but an old joke. Get Out".
So, that meant I had the privilage to visit the library, where I came up with this small, silly poem –
Sleeping in the bed cozy-cozy
Everything seemed so rosy-rosy
Entered into reality
Now everything looks hazy-hazy

Google Play (I'm an Android / HTC OneX girl) is heavy with task list apps, shopping list apps, to-do list apps, pantry management apps, time management apps. I'm not very fussy as a user. I like a clean UI and easy edit capabilities. I found after trying several to-do and shopping list apps that being able to update them online was my key to the best app.
Out Of Milk has been the app that has stayed on my phone. My choice is not based on a specific set of test guidelines, nothing that scientific. I go and search the Google Play store, find a couple with decent reviews and that are free or have free trials and load them on the phone. After setting them up, playing around with them and then closing them, the winner ends up being decided by what app I come back to later when I really need to use the service. Out of Milk is that app.
|Image thanks to the Google Play store
Getting a 4.5 out of 5, the reviews are pretty accurate. It's quick to get the hang of and easy to create lists. Not as intuitive when it comes to deleting, editing entries or deleting lists, but once you figure out how that happens, it's a snap.
I've just started using the pricing and coupon functions. I'm honestly too lazy to scan all the bar codes in, adjust and correct pricing, but I am going to try to get a better handle on our food costs, so this should help me plan my grocery budget. More updates when I have tried that feature.
I'm using it for all things move related and will be able to test out the sync, share and online edit features more thoroughly.
Worth mentioning that the $1.99 Pro upgrade is well worth it. Fully featured, this app does everything useful for list organization without adding too much you just don't need.

And though In Your Honor might be his band's most extravagant project to date -- a two-disc collection featuring separate electric and acoustic sets -- it's also its most sophisticated. For those about to rock, Grohl channels Rush and Motörhead on the frenzied title track, while "Free Me" recalls the muscular, blistering metal of the Foo's 1997 The Colour and the Shape. Elsewhere, Norah Jones lends her seductive croon to the jazzy "Virginia Moon," perhaps the most engaging and unexpectedly subdued track of the second set. Give Grohl this much: He's ambitious, and he's not afraid to fall on his face, as he does on the album's first single, the generic "Best of You." But he's also capable of penning some of the catchiest pop-metal around, and there are enough gems on In Your Honor to justify its excesses.

India is one of the Asian countries, which is known for its beautiful places among people from all over the world. Especially the newly married people love to visit India for their Honeymoon. While honeymoon destinations are limited in this world, India has many places where newlywed couples love to be while snatching the beauty of nature. And, the best time to explore the beauty of these honeymoon destinations in India is from November to January for those who are from warm regions. And for those who are from cold regions, the best time is May to August.
As stated earlier, there are so many beautiful places in India for honeymoon couples, at the top is Kashmir. Apart from Kashmir there is Kerala, Jaipur, Agra, and Himachal Pradesh. All these places are just rocking with beautiful sceneries of nature. If we talk about Kashmir, then it is known as Heaven on Earth because of its beauty that works as the magnet for people from all over the world. And, when snowfall occurs then this place becomes a hub of honeymoon couples. Nowhere else in India you will see honeymoon couples when snowfall occurs.
With beautiful greenery, lakes, and mountains, the attraction comes itself as soon as you step down here. Apart from Kashmir, Kerala is a place that has a lot for honeymoon couples. However, to get the best from Kerala, you shall take help of a tourist guide. And, if you want to see the symbol of love, the Taj Mahal, then go to Agra. Moving from one destination to another is much easier due to approachable transportation via taxi, train, and luxury buses. The beauty of Taj Mahal entices everyone. Once you will visit the Taj Mahal then you will love to be here every year. It has something that attracts visitors and they love to travel to Asia again and again and when they come to Asia then India remains at top in the list.

A quick follow-up to my groin pain post
I now believe that the issue probably is not bacterial.
I have a return appointment with the urologist on Monday, at which point I will explore other possibilities with him. I posted about this issue on an ME/CFS forum recently and got a surprising number of good suggestions and possibilities. One possibility I wonder about is if it could be candida in the UT, due to deficient immunity. I may try a few days of Diflucan and see if that helps.
Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback and advice on this since my last post. We truly have a knowledgeable and compassionate community that (for the most part) works together to help one another.
P.S. I am aware of the significant risks that Cipro poses, and believe me, I did not take them lightly. I accepted the risk and unfortunately it did not pay off. I thank those who raised the issue nonetheless.

Perhaps get the Urologist to take your PSA levels? Just to be safe.ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear the pains have come back, but glad you had at least one day pain free. Folks swear by Saw Palmetto to keep prostate swelling down -- I've not tried it.
I eat a ton of coconut oil, though and haven't had an issue with yeast for about a year. It's not going to end a florid case but it could help with maintenance if it does turn out to be candida and you knock it back with meds to a manageable level.
Hope it works out for you regardless!
Just wanted to mention that Interstitial Cystitis/ Prostatitis is fairly common in patients with M.E. Might be worth looking into and discussing with your urologist if not already done so. Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Patrick, sorry to hear about the latest issue. Any blood in the urine? I had some this past summer which led to a biopsy of bladder tissue. Negative thankfully, but interesting to hear Kari's comments on this issue in people w/ME. Just another item in our ever changing health issue episodes. I have stabilized the past few months with Saline IV's every 2 weeks, vyvanse and gabapentin daily. Actually this has me in a sustained period of feeling as good as I have in my now 3 year journey.Delete

Can China Replicate America's Shale Revolution?
On the sidelines of Heard on the Street Live in Hong Kong, Neil Beveridge, senior oil analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, gives his take on how America's energy bonanza will affect China, and whether China can create its own shale revolution.

I use my favourite Black Farmer sausages for this recipe, others will do nearly as well, but make sure they are gluten free. *This recipe uses a high amount of fructose from tomatoes. If you have Fructose Malabsoption or are starting out on a LowFODMAP diet, limit to 1 tomato
2 small old potatoes
3 stalks celery
3 GF sausages (halved)
1 tin chopped tomatoes
Fresh stock (GF)
cup of water
oil for frying
Fresh young spinach
Dice the potatoes, then fry in a little oil. When they start to soften, add the halved sausages, then after 2 minutes add the celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sausages are starting to brown.
Add seasoning and a can of tomatoes. Pour in the cup of water and crumble over the stock cube. Bring to the boil then simmer for 20-25 minutes until most of the water has evaporated and the sauce is starting to thicken. The potatoes should fall off your fork by this point.
Throw in a couple of handfuls of fresh young spinach, as much as you want, and wait for it to wilt into the pan.
Serve immediately.

On Saturday, the New York Times' Ross Douthat wrote a column in which he suggested concessions both liberals and conservatives ought to make if we're to get together on the joint project of making marriage more appetizing and acceptable. The things he asks conservatives to give on are significant, including acknowledging the impact of incarcerating huge numbers of men of color and the value of some social welfare policies. As for liberals?
"A more significant concession would be to acknowledge the ways in which liberalism itself has undercut the two-parent family — through the liberal-dominated culture industry's permissive, reductive attitudes toward sex, and through the 1970s-era revolution in divorce and abortion law," he writes. "In the first case, liberals tend to feign agnosticism about pop culture's impact on morals (even though a link is common-sensical and well supported), or to blame corporate capitalism for the entertainment industry's exploitative tendencies (as though the overwhelmingly liberal people making programming decisions had no agency of their own)."
The only evidence Douthat cites for these claims are a RAND paper and Jonathan Chait's piece for New York magazine about the liberalization of pop culture, neither of which particularly bolster his case.
The RAND paper deals with a survey of 1,762 teenagers that suggests that "heavy exposure to sexual content on television related strongly to teens' initiation of intercourse or their progression to more advanced sexual activities (such as "making out" or oral sex) apart from intercourse in the following year." But that survey also suggests that African-American teenagers are more likely than other groups included in the survey to delay sexual behavior if they were exposed to TV programming that dealt with the risks of sex. That's a piece of data that Douthat might have noted given that part of his column is about why low-income women are less willing to marry men who have been incarcerated, a place where the column might have benefitted from some acknowledgement of racial disparities in imprisonment, especially as related to the drug war. And the survey also acknowledges that a single episode of television can make young people more likely to consider the risks of sexual activity and the benefits of using contraception.
And Chait's article has almost nothing to do with marriage whatsoever. He makes the argument, bolstered by Vice President Joe Biden's admission that Will and Grace made him more supportive of gay rights, and the popularity of Modern Family, that popular culture has dramatically increased support for marriage equality. And Chait also references two studies of the arrival of television program in areas of Brazil and India. In Brazil, the arrival of telenovelas inspired women to have fewer children and to name their children after novela characters. And in India, the fertility rate dropped as television arrived, and researchers also found that the arrival of television made women more assertive in their marriages, and more disapproving of spousal abuse. I'm not sure Douthat wants to argue that it would be better for low-income women to have bigger families, or to be more accepting of male dominance in marriage, so for the time being, let's give him the benefit of the doubt on that.
But I really would have liked to see Douthat engage with a significant contradiction in his argument about culture and sexual morality: sure, American popular culture involves a lot of depiction of sex out of wedlock. But it also remains deeply invested in the idea that marriage is a desirable end goal, a dream that exerts an almost gravitational pull on participants.
In The 40-Year-Old Virgin, the titular sexual novice starts out simply trying to find a one-night stand and ends up waiting to have sex until he gets married to a fantastic woman that he meets along the way. The recent crop of middle-class-women-deciding-to-have-babies-on-their-own movies exhibits a similar trend: in Baby Mama (2008), The Switch (2010), The Back-Up Plan (also 2010), all the women who are trying to have children by themselves end up engaged or married by the ends of the film, and the sour indie on the same theme, Friends With Kids (2011), ends with its upper-middle-class participants at least contemplating a stable partnership.
Television characters have more sex for the sake of drama, but even the small screen's most notorious bachelor, Barney Stinson (the gay and engaged Neil Patrick Harris, one might note), is tying the knot on How I Met Your Mother. Happy marriages abound on television, ranging from the upper-middle-class ones on Modern Family, to the very funny one that also serves as a model for co-parenting after divorce on Trophy Wife, to the partnership between a domestic and a landscaper in Raising Hope. In fact, it's a landscape that's increasingly counter to the world that makes Douthat so anxious, a world in which marriage is for everyone, rather than a luxury good or a lifestyle choice.
And in my favorite recent example, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Jay-Z got on the Grammy stage last night and did what conservatives have been dying for someone to do for ages: they made marriage look fun, and sexy, and a source of mutual professional fulfillment. As Caitlin White wrote in her review of Beyoncé's self-titled album: "She claims female pleasure as pure and grown, something dominant that can coexist with monogamy and marriage and her own status as an artist." And that's particularly true of the song Beyoncé and Jay-Z chose for their Grammys collaboration:
Unknown iFrame situation
"Drunk In Love" is raunchy, fun and even silly. "Why can't I keep my fingers off it, baby? I want you," Beyoncé sings. She teases her partner, who both in the real-life creation of the song and its narrative, is her husband Jay-Z, "Can't keep your eyes off my fatty, daddy, I want you." It's a song about flirting, about going out and partying, about having fantastic, adventuresome, totally enthralling sex — with your spouse. That's a far, far better argument for marriage than the pseudo-scientific case for holding onto your oxytocin by not having sex before you say your vows on the grounds that such conservation efforts will make your first time better.
In the context of Beyoncé as a whole album, "Drunk In Love" is part of a larger argument that various parts of female experience don't actually trade off with each other. In "Jealous," Beyoncé serves up a reminder that it's possible to have had a past sexual history and still find a loving marital partner. The couple who wakes up in their kitchen the morning after their epic night out in "Drunk In Love" presumably managed to arrange child care for the daughter they adore, and who makes a cameo in "Blue." And being a sexually attentive wife and loving mother don't, in the world of Beyoncé, have to conflict with the lady's professional success, either. This is a woman who's so confident that her album can declare that "When he wanna smash I'll just write another one / I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker." Rather than posing choices between these various elements of her life, or acting as if the math that leads up to having it all is impossibly complicated, Beyoncé is an argument that a great, mutually supportive marriage can be a context that makes all of these things easier to pull off.
And that's what makes Jay-Z's appearance on stage with Beyoncé at the Grammys so lovely. Mrs. Knowles-Carter doesn't need her husband with her to dominate a performance space. But she chose their duet. And what we got was a performance that's explicitly about what a good time they're having together. Everyone else might get to look at her curves — a reminder that dressing up and showing off doesn't have to end after marriage, either — but Jay-Z's the one who gets to look a little goofy checking her out in wonderment that she's his, the one who actually gets to touch. She gets to own the stage by herself, first, and Jay-Z shows up when the song requires his presence, at which point Bey cedes the stage to him before taking it back. There's time for them both to shine. And at the end, Jay-Z throws his arm around his wife and squeezes her, and her head inclines towards his shoulder: there's room for mutual pride and tenderness here, too.
This may not be the vision of marriage conservatives intended to try to promote. And it's absolutely a more aspirational, exciting good than the idea that marriage will discipline wayward men or provide support for women who can't manage economically on their own. But if conservatives want to sell Americans on marriage, maybe they have to talk more about the bliss half of wedded bliss, to think about the desire part of making marriage desirable. And maybe the entertainment industry that Douthat's singled out as the enemy of marriage has something to add to the case for marital happiness. If marriage is a product that conservatives desperately want to sell, the smartest thing they could do right now is to hire Beyoncé and Jay-Z as a product spokescouple.

Well, it finally happened. Within the third week of my going keto I experienced my first craving. The first "mmmm that smells so good! I wish I could just have one piece. Ok now I'm feeling deprived"; and it was for buttered toast! My husband came home late from work one night and just made himself a stack of like six pieces of toast with butter and reheated some of his battered fish and it smelt. so. good!
I can't believe I had made it through two turkey dinners with no inner battle, but the toast did it. I immediately went to Maria's blog and found a recipe for buns. I made them the next morning. And had a toasted bun with butter. And it. was. good! Lol now, I'm not gonna lie and say it was as good as the real thing. These were made with coconut flour, so they did have a bit of a different taste. But the toasted texture with melted butter hit the spot so well. And of course my lunch the next day was healthified Sloppy Joe's!
I haven't tried too many new recipes this week. Some Mexican Chicken, basically chicken breasts in the slow cooker with chopped tomatoes, a can of sugar free salsa, and half an hour before finishing a block of cream cheese stirred in which also shredded the chicken breasts into basically pulled chicken. Yum! I also made some granola, half of which sadly burnt, so it made about three breakfast bowls of cereal. But I missed cereal too! Something I could just pour in a bowl, cover with milk and eat. No prep required. I'm gonna have to make a ton more and have "cereal" on hand all the time.
My friend K is almost done her first week of Keto! It's been so much fun having someone to share pictures of meals with and know that she appreciates it and wants the recipe and vice versa. Normally I get mad at people who post photos of their food on fb and Pinterest, like who cares? But this is fun. It's also interesting reliving a bunch of symptoms I first had when I started dabbling in keto way back in June. I remember getting the shakes, and having crazy and painful bm's. Oh and headaches. But it only lasted the first week for me, and each time (usually Monday) that I would start back into it, it seemed the transition for my body wasn't so difficult. Hopefully this next week she will start feeling the benefits and energy boosts that I did!!!!
As far as the scale goes, I'd did go up a couple pounds at the beginning of this week. But had no idea why. I hadn't changed anything or cheated. Thought I may have slowed down on my water or fat intake so I focused on upping both. As of this morning I'm back to where I was at the end of week two. So still down a total of ten pounds, but also one week closer to babies due date! It's crazy to think that at the beginning of this pregnancy my goal was to only gain 30lbs but I didn't actually think I would do it. And now I'm still fifteen pounds shy of that thirty! Yay for setting goals and being motivated enough to meet them! I can't wait to see where the scale sits a day or two after leaving that hospital with a new bundle of joy in my arms instead of hanging out in my stomache!

The Public Utility Commission has approved a rate increase that will cost each customer served by the Northampton Heights Water Co. $88 yearly.
The rate boost will increase the average yearly residential bills to $273 from $185. It will bring in an additional $3,800 to the company, which serves 46 customers in the Northampton Heights subdivision in Allen Township.
A PUC spokesman said there were no protests filed against the rate hike, the first increase sought by the company in five years. The company said it needed the revenue to offset higher operating expenses.
