How I Market Feedback Army
Recently I was asked via email for my methods marketing my online business. I've tried a lot of things to promote Feedback Army. Here is a quick list of the methods I've tried and how well they worked for me.
Cold Emails
I've had a lot of success with cold emailing. To find prospects, I visit buysellads.com and search for tags related to usability testing and startups to look for blogs that might take interest in Feedback Army. I then visit the blog, view the about page, and see what the blogger has written about usability testing. Once I have this information, I contact the blog owner modifying the first sentence or two of a template email to say something about their site. I also include a coupon for the blog owner to try Feedback Army. I usually see a response from 3/10 emails, which isn't too bad.
When cold emailing, ask for an opinion or feedback. Do not ask for a review. If the blogger wants to, they'll review your site. If they give you feedback that makes your business better, that's helpful too.
I usually target small sites, but even popular bloggers have helped me out in unexpected ways. I once contacted Andrew Lock, the producer of the excellent Help My Business Sucks show. He never wrote about Feedback Army but he did mention it at a conference and this led to new customers.
If you plan to use this tactic, I recommend you read Startup Marketing Advice from Balsamiq Studio. Peldi's advice help put me on the right path here.
Start a Blog
Now that people are aware of Feedback Army, I'm trying to market it through my blog (hey, you're here). You'll notice that I post about once a week. My goal is to be consistent and open in my blogging. I find posts where I'm most vulnerable (read: open and honest) generate the most attention. I seed relevant posts on Hacker News. It's hit or miss but when it hits, it's worth it. A hit blog posts also leads to a sales spike for the current day and the day after. Sometimes it also leads to other blogs writing about Feedback Army.
Advertising and Analytics
I've tried ads on buysellads.com. It took little effort on my part and it made me feel like I was doing something to market my business. However the party ended once I installed google analytics and started tracking "goals". I noticed my ads weren't converting to sales. After A|B testing variations of my ads, I decided to abandon buysellads.com and Google AdWords.
Before you buy any advertising, I recommend that you install Google analytics and set it up to track whatever you consider a conversion or goal. It's easy to do and will help you decide if you're seeing an ROI from your advertising.
When exploring advertising opportunities, make sure you set a time limit, a budget, and a have a means to measure the effectiveness of the ad.
Cold Calling
I've also tried cold calling. To do this I decided on a target (small web development shops). I chose these smaller businesses as I felt I would be able to build rapport with them easily. I used google to put together a list of names and numbers. I also wrote a script to guide me through the beginning of the conversation. Before my first call I practiced this script with my cell phone held up to my ear until I felt confident and automatic saying it.
When cold calling, it's important to know what your goal is so you can steer the conversation there. My goal was to get an email address so I could send a Feedback Army coupon worth ten responses. The callee wins and I win because I'm able to track how many coupons were redeemed and how many sales came from it.
The people I spoke with were pretty cool and the conversations weren't awkward like I initially feared. Despite the favorable chit chats, the conversion rate from this experiment was terrible. For a startup with a low-cost product like Feedback Army, I do not recommend cold calling.
Affiliate Marketing
I tried setting up an affiliate sales program for my mechanical turk worker base. The idea was to give each worker a URL that they could refer people to. My software would pay a bonus to the worker when someone they referred bought feedback. I was very excited when I put this program in place. Unfortunately it ran into a few difficulties:
1) The profit margin on Feedback Army was too low to support an effective affiliate marketing program. I had several complaints that I wasn't offering enough of a reward.
2) I believe recruiting the workers on Mechanical Turk was a mismatch as the workers didn't entirely understand the program.
If you're thinking of going this route, I recommend designing your price packages to accommodate this beforehand.
Search Engine Optimization
I've tried some white-hat SEO stuff. I still only get 10% of my traffic from search engines and it's not a big money-maker for me. Someone once said if people aren't searching for your business by name then it's more important to focus on the product. Make sure some people are happy with what you're doing before you focus on SEO. No organic growth is a bad sign.
That said, you should check your basics to make sure you're not doing anything that will hurt you. If your business can accommodate it, look into finding a way users can share what they bought or build out the content on your page. For example, I'm planning to create a badge to let clients share their Feedback Army results on their sites. I don't know how well it will do, but as you can see from this post–marketing is about trying a lot of things.
Make sure you visit meetup.com and look for events in your area. I have tiny cards I printed via moo.com that I hand out to the folks I meet. In the past I haven't seen a lot of conversions through this approach (although I'm not very aggressive about going to events to solely market feedback army)–but it is a good way to get your idea in front of people and get instant feedback. This is easy to do and if you're an extrovert (like me), it's a lot of fun. If you live in an area with a startup community, look for events where you can pitch your business to a crowd. This is also a great way to get exposure.
Customer Service
Feedback Army's sales continue to grow each month. To keep this up, I focus on the most important marketing tactic of all: delivering a good product and providing good customer service. When my software detects an error or a customer uses my contact form, it goes straight to my cellphone. This way I'm able to address issues quickly. Good customer service has led to these customers coming back. I believe this is responsible for the growth of Feedback Army.
Final Thoughts
The world of marketing is filled with options. As you can see, it's also a lot of work. Don't let yourself get lulled into believing there is one magical thing that will build your business for you. An off-shore team offering to "increase your SERPs" for $30 is not going to make your business. Once you get going your efforts will pay off. Remember that you may have to try a few things and don't expect every campaign to succeed. Ultimately, your business will be made by delivering a good service and acting like a responsible netizen. Don't forget that.

I love history and especially old architecture. If I had a deep enough pocket book, I would save and restore every old house I ever found!
I was surfing a little online tonight and found these fun photos of downtown Salt Lake City. Then I realized, HEY...I lived here - in that very spot!
South Temple in 1909
South Temple today - Brigham Apartments
South Temple 1909 with the Newhouse mansion
Same view today.
I loved living here when I was a single girl going to the University of Utah. I had a fantastic one bedroom apartment, no roommates and life was good.
(Sometimes I tell Dan I wish I could go live there again for a few days at a time, kids come with a lot of messes and clutter I never had then!)
It seems like downtown is treated like a big playground for building and re-building. As much as I loved that apartment it makes me so sad to see those amazing old homes that could have still been there today had someone stood up for restoring and saving them!

"Extreme solar storms spark a need for innovation".
As NASA just announced, a massive solar storm similar to the one in 2012 could wipe out GPS, satellite communication, the power grid, the Internet – just about anything that would be affected by a sufficiently large direct electromagnetic blast from the sun [including nuclear plants]. One thing that could be done now is to launch a competition to attract the best ideas from the scientific community, similar to what NASA does with its Innovative Advanced Concepts program. It's been noticed that, in the event of extreme solar activity, the Earth's magnetosphere adjusts in response to the CMEs from the sun. Maybe that system could be exploited or augmented by man-made means to create a shield that powers up or powers down anytime NASA's early-warning system detects unusual activity. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2014/07/31/extreme-solar-storms-spark-a-need-for-innovation/

I know that lists are a lazy man's blog post, but hey, we all get lazy. Lists won't hurt anyone as long as no one forgets how to write a complete sentence at the end of the day. With that in mind, I have decided to start a new little installment of Generation grannY: The "Never/Always" series. My first edition will revolve around my favorite subject: food.
11 Foods on which I'll NEVER Waste the Calories
11 Foods on which I'll ALWAYS Waste the Calories
Inevitably, you will not agree with all of these, but try not to get too offended. Also, if you agree with 100% of these and are a male between the ages of 25-35, please send me your phone number on the "Contact Me" page because we might be soul mates.
1. Macaroons. If I wanted something light and airy, I'd eat lettuce.
2. The tortilla at Chipotle. 300 calories just for the tortilla? Pass. Bowl please.
3. Heavy dressing. This makes a salad contain more calories than a burger. I'll take the burger.
4. Twizzlers. I might as well go to the nearest playground and gnaw on the red slide.
5. Microwavable mac and cheese. Call me a mac and cheese snob if you want. Not offended.
6. Tough bread. Sure, I might burn calories just trying to tear it apart with my teeth, but still.
7. Generic ice cream. Unless it's Ben & Jerry's, Häagen-Dazs, or something reputable, it tastes like one big scoop of freezer burn.
8. Pretzels. I'm not even going to get into why. If you don't understand, I can't help you.
9. Raisins. Did you know that those tiny boxes have 130 calories? I'd rather have a cookie, thank you.
10. Mayonnaise. As great as a jar full of undisguised, white fat sounds…
11. Big, corporate muffins. 4-600 calories in your average blueberry muffin. Um.
1. Guacamole. Every day. No limit.
2. Peanut butter. In ice cream. On my banana. Straight from the jar. Any way you serve it, I'll take it.
3. Meat. What can I say? Surf and turf, I like it all (well, not ALL- I'm not a sicko who eats horse).
4. Cheese and crackers. Brie. Gouda. Cheddar. Havarti. Pepper Jack. Muenster. I need to stop before I salivate on my computer.
5. Curry. If there's Thai or Indian curry in the vicinity, count me in with a giant bowl of white rice.
6. Good chocolate. Sorry, Hershey's, but you belong in list #1. Dove, you've stolen my heart (and my waist line).
7. Sushi. Piles and piles of sushi. You're looking at about 300-500 calories per roll, but I'll take a whole boat.
8. Focaccia bread. It's like pizza, but makes you feel dainty and not quite as gluttonous.
9. Wedding cake. It's a party and sometimes wedding cake tastes like love.
10. Mashed potatoes. A mountain of comfort.
11. French fries. YOLO.
Happy eating, all!!

1 S'more for the Road and Kiddie S'mores
Nonstick canola oil spray
1 pound marshmallow creme
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup miniature chocolate-covered candies, such as M and M's, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon vermouth
1 teaspoon grenadine
24 whole graham crackers, each broken carefully in half
80 stackable marshmallows (2 bags)
Six 4-ounce bars high-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
Optional serving suggestions: Manhattan's (for the adults) or chocolate milk (for the kids)
Coat a large microwave-safe bowl with nonstick spray. Add the marshmallow creme and microwave until warmed through and slightly puffed, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the butter and powdered sugar and whip with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer half of the mixture to another bowl coated with nonstick spray and fold in the candies. Set aside until ready to use.
Add the bourbon, vermouth and grenadine to the remaining marshmallow mixture and whip with a hand mixer until well combined. Set aside until ready to use.
To build the "1 s'more for the road": On a cooling rack over a half baking sheet, lay down 32 of the graham cracker halves. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of the "Manhattan" marshmallow creme on each graham cracker half. Place 4 stackable marshmallows on 16 of the graham cracker halves. Top with the remaining graham cracker halves.
To build the kiddie s'mores: On a cooling rack over a half baking sheet, lay down the remaining 16 graham cracker halves. Spread 1 tablespoon of "kiddie" marshmallow creme on each graham cracker half. Place 2 stackable marshmallows on 8 of the graham cracker halves. Top with the remaining graham cracker halves.
In a metal bowl set over a saucepan with about 1 inch of simmering water in it, melt the semisweet chocolate over medium-low heat until completely smooth, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the chocolate is melted, turn the heat off below the pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate on top of each s'more, letting the chocolate drip down the sides. Once the s'mores are finished, let the chocolate harden at room temperature for an hour (or if you are in a hurry, then let set up in the refrigerator for 15 minutes).
Serve with a side of Manhattans for the adults and some chocolate milk for the kids.

Today I worked a bit on the Church Interior… Quite happy…
Category Archives: THE ROAD UP TO HELL
Somewhere in Norway, there is a valley, with a dark secret. Four people arrive in the valley at the same time, you are one of them.
I have been thinking and writing a lot about "fragment storytelling" recently, a genre of my own concoction, this the first game I am attempting using these ideas.
Pieces of four stories are cut up, chewed up, fucked up and distributed unevenly around an environment. who discovers what first, will change the experience. If you fill a game with enough Easter eggs, more for example than there is actual story or game-play, so that the easter eggs swallow/swamp/throttle the story, then allow the original game-play to become an Easter egg, what will happen?
Operating Theatre Update.
I have been working on the Operating theater. Adding physics to all the furniture in the room. The Operating table stays still when you bump into it. The ECG machine moves but slowly, and the little silver trays roll about on well oiled wheels. Adding sounds to the collisions next. I also added cube map reflections to the trays, so they look all lovely and shiny… Just wait till there is an autopsy in progress however… Wont be so clean then I can assure you!
Epistolary writing
I have just discovered a new term that heavily relates to my work with "Fragment Storytelling" and indeed much storytelling in games.
An Epistolary Novel is a Story that using letters of documents to tell the story.
Maybe the most famous of the genre is Dracula but I am also a fan of 84 Charing Cross Road. I also have an amazing "Whodunnit" book, called Murder off Miami weirdly by Dennis Wheatley, where the letters and documents are fully reproduced on different papers and types. Including photographs from the Crime Scene and an envelope at the end that contains the solution. HE produces 5 of these and I must try to collect them all!
Murder off Miami
In games letters or books are often used to tell the story. A good example being the Elder Scroll series, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim being the most recent. Some young gamers probably dont bother with all this reading material, but I love it, and devour all!
In "Somewhere on the road to Hell" I will also be using this technique extensively, especially as I want to keep dialogue to a minimum (both for technical and atmosphere reasons). The game starts (usually) with a letter of introduction to the valley in Norway, from your employer. during the game there will be many subtle hints that can be read or discarded. INdeed, if there is a goal at all to the game, its to find out as much as you can. The actual game mechanics (which can´t really be revealed) will mean that it is in fact impossible to play the game once and learn everything, how ever much you try, and you will have to play again a number of times to kind of see the events from other angles… One play may even contradict another play, so coming out with a defining "this is what happened" will be impossible. More that "This is what happen this time".
Working at the Research Center
"This is the construct"
Here is Bob, as I design my character and camera controller. I Spent all day on zooming the mouse wheel, but when I come to think about it maybe my game is best as 1st person? The thing is that I dont really like the feel of 1st person controllers, I much prefer a 3rd person, but zoomed in, if you can understand the difference… not so…er swimmy…
Still I have to have a model for the view that your competitors/colleagues will have of you, as its a multiplayer game, But then I can just do a "Photon View Get Is Mine" and turn off the the mesh… no need to zoom ever… Oh well.
Anyway, heres Bob in "The construct".. my simple programming level before he gets moved over to the game, oh god.. frightening…
Ive built the controllers o far as five different FSMs in PlayMaker. ONe for Walking and running animations.. with the shift key causing the run. I have a small bug. When you press shift to run, he runs, when you release you finger from W (forward) he stops… fine… but if your DONT release your shift key too, and then just press W again, he walks, not run…but this FSM is not actually causing forward movement, only animations.
I have on FSM for Movement. which, lone just causing the character to slide forwards.
I have one for rotating. Now here I have gone for A and D causing a rotate, Im still not sure about this. Its less "gamer-y". A "Proper game" would have A and D as Strafe, walking sideways while still facing forward. (needed for shooting games) and using the mouse to handle turning… but.. in a game with no shooting, it is really right? But maybe there IS shooting… anyway havent decided yet…
Then a Jump FSM… a tricky one this, cos it should look different depandant on whether the character is running or standing still. SO hI have a swithc that detects whether thecharacter is moving forwards, if so, when you press jump (space of course) it dos a kind of running jump, if hes standing still he jumps on the spot. This one has a bug where it gets stuck on the last frame of the jump before going back to running or walking, and just slides along. Im sure this must be a simple fix.
Thats it really. Its working well with physics… slide down 45 degrees he will jump onto a moving platform (slide bug here when a platform slides into him… legs… soft..)prob need a physics collider somewhere..
Now I just want to add some shuffling animation for when hes standing still but you want to turn.
THAN I have to get him into my Photon project, getting him working multiplayer, changing the msehh for 3 other characters, and THEN adding it to the main game…
Lots of fun stuff to do…
[table id=3 /]
Night time over the church
Enjoying the View!
Why is my fog disappearing?
Im using Uni-Storm to do the day/night cycle and weather system, and Im very pleased with the result, but now IM having this issue, fog disappearing after 10 seconds or so…
Somewhere on the road to Hell
Tentatively entitled "Somewhere on the road to Hell", here are some screenshots from my latest computer game.
Its a psychological thriller, based in a small valley in Norway. There is a place in Norway called Hell, so it might be referring to that place, but that's in Tronderlag, and doesn't look so much like this… so maybe its not referring to that place at all..?
Getting to grips with iTweenPath
Im rather enjoying using iTween Path… still havent gotten this Bus to stop crashing violently at the end of the path, and its a pain having to find exact points, when I only really want the bus to move along the XZ axis, and just have gravity bring the bus down to the terrain on the Y axis…
Still its a start, and using iTween inside of PlayMaker is a doddle…

EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Racing Clutches only use premium friction materials that are resistant to slippage and burst. Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. This is the ideal clutch for street and light horsepower track use.
Drivability is similar to the stock clutch. Pedal efforts will be slightly higher because of the higher clamp loads. All of our Stage 1 clutch discs have spring center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock and provide smooth clutch engagement.
Ultra-Fiber Organic Disc
This advanced facing material provides the high heat resistance essential for motorsports. It was developed by reviewing both the copper wire ratio and the composition of the high strength fiber. The Ultra Fiber Disc maintains the superior half-engagement feeling specific to the Organic material. With improved high heat resistance, it provides the functionality essential for street performance and mild racing applications.
Clutch Cover
These clutch covers are designed to achieve a clamping load that is approx. 40% higher than the genuine part allowing a higher torque transmitting capacity. Ductile material is used for all pressure plates and, high burst strength can be achieved in all temperature ranges.
All EXEDY Racing Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kits carry SFI 1.1 Certification. Which means, when you buy these products, you can be confident they are certified for use in competitive motorsports.
PLEASE NOTE: All referenced torque ratings are measured at the wheels.

The Works of Miracle Worker
Hickman's latest play runs February 1st - 3rd at Hickman High School Auditorium
February 2, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Helen Keller was an accomplished author, political activist, and was the first deaf-blind person to receive a BA (Bachelor of Arts) degree. Miracle Worker is Hickman's latest play, and is about Helen Keller's early life, and how she finds the way to be able to communicate. Hickman cast and tech crew for the show are all nervous, but well prepared for opening night.
"We had a good rehearsal last night," Hickman Theater teacher and Director of the play Mrs. Sarah Gerling said. "We've got a few little tiny tweaks that we are going to make tonight, but I feel great going in."
Wilson will be playing the role of Captain Keller, father of Helen Keller. Captain Keller was a former confederate soldier.
"He's very opinionated and aggressive," Wilson said. "But there are parts where you see his softer and weaker side."
According to Freshman Dany Dakhlallah, playing Anagnos in the play, the cast and tech for the show has put in countless hours in preparation for the play.
"We've been rehearsing since after thanksgiving break," Dakhlallah said. "So it's been a while. It's also taken a lot of effort outside of school and outside of rehearsal too. [We've] researched the characters and truly understand what [the character] means when he says something."
In conclusion, the show crew is ready to not just act, but make their characters come to life once more.
"Come see the show tonight!" Senior and part of the stage crew Brandon England said.
Curtains open at 6:30 pm, and starts at 7:00 pm. You can also see the show on February 2nd, and 3rd.

The Chinese territory of Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China are home to the largest fraction of malicious Web sites, according to a report published by antivirus company McAfee on Wednesday.
In its report, Mapping the Mal Web Revisited, the company found that the top-level domains with the largest proportion of malicious sites belonged to Hong Kong (.hk) and China (.cn) with the Philippines (.ph) and Romania (.ro) tied for fourth. The company surveyed nearly 10 million heavily-trafficked Web sites around the world and found that 19.2 percent of all Web sites ending in the .hk posed a danger to visitors. Approximately 11 percent of Web sites in mainland China's top-level domain were rated as risky by SiteAdvisor.
In 2007, the domain for the tiny South-Pacific island of Tokelau accounted for the greatest proportion of risky Web sites, McAfee stated.
"For administrators of top-level domains this study should act as a wake-up call," Jeff Green, senior vice president of product development at McAfee, said in a statement. "Last year's report spurred Tokelau's domain manager to reexamine its policies. Not all domain managers are as accommodating so our mission is to educate consumers of the dangers and protect them in every way they enjoy the Web whether through their PC, the Web itself, or mobile phone."
Two years ago, SiteAdvisor data counted five percent of all Web sites as malicious, assigning them "Red" rankings. Last year, the service said that the proportion of Web sites cataloged by search engines and given a malicious ranking dropped to 4 percent.
The proportion of dangerous sites has increased 41 percent over the entire Web, McAfee stated. The study compared the ratings assigned by the company's SiteAdvisor service to sites using the top-level domains of 265 countries as well as generic domains. The report considered a Web site risky if it contained adware, spyware, viruses, spam, excessive pop-ups, browser exploits or links to other dangerous sites.

Day 15: Chili
After a good night's sleep, we were up and rolling. First, we stopped at the Newfoundland equivalent of ICBC to sort vehicle registration and to figure out how we were supposed to sell the van to our Newfoundlander friends. Luckily, this didn't take too long.
Mr. David hadn't shaved in a very long time and therefore was due for a haircut. Of course we wouldn't be touching his beard, just trimming his hair. We started in the backyard as we didn't want to cut his hair inside. Despite the combined years of engineering education, we still managed to blow the circuit breaker. So I have said before: Home is where the van is.
Next, we ventured down to Fort Amherst, which is just across the harbour from Signal hill. This point hosted the oldest lighthouse in Newfoundland. It also served as a WWII gun battery to defend against German U-boats. The fortifications are worn down, but still in tact and sporting some eery looking graffiti.
The evening was spent hanging out with MUN engineering society folk as they made chilli for D-day (tomorrow). They made about ten gallons of chilli. It was quite amusing to watch.
"Cocoa and beer are crucial ingredients in Chili"

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Jan 06, 2015
New York: The designer duo David Neville and Marcus Wainwright referenced their English roots and captured a pared-back English gentleman's luxe pajama-style dressing for their Pre-Fall collection. Inspired by tie and pocket square prints in deep indigo hues, burgundy and white, the pieces were crafted in fluid lightweight silk jacquard. Paneled silk dresses, pajama suits and relaxed silk blazer jackets transformed this classic mood into a very feminine and modern look. A sleeveless cardigan worn over a coordinated long knit tunic and slouchy silk trousers or crinkled pinstripe cotton made loungewear en vogue. In contrast to the luxe sleepwear look there were some 70's inspired fashion pieces sprinkled into the collection – a buttoned denim A-line skirt, high-waist shorts, and a sharply tailored suede jacket balanced out the collection's fluidity. – Christa Kaufmann

An Affordable Alternative Of Giclee Fine Art Prints
T is sometimes said who life isn't complete with no beauty. Plus where can be beauty further evident when compared to in fine art? Thus, with the wealthiest towards the modest, one would often invest in a minimum of one piece regarding art. Having said that, there are generally growing amounts of individuals who want to build the art series but tend to be hindered by the price of a unique piece. Together with the rise of art work prints, collecting art pieces is don't limited in the wealthy by itself. Fine style commonly describes artistic expression that may be geared toward aesthetic appeal in place of utility as well as commercial develop. Fine art is established using several unique mediums and additionally disciplines which include pencils, pastels, petrol paints, polymer-bonded paints, watercolors, silkscreen, woodblock and perhaps digital art to mention a small number of. Subject matter can also be as varied because mediums along with includes graphics from realistic look to fuzzy.
Fine art work prints are actually traditionally personalized reproductions involving original fine art. However, many would definitely attest how the print can be itself an innovative a thing of beauty. To build a fine printing, in the standard sense, the musician forms a graphic through woodcut and etching. Ink is definitely then put on the top of woodcut and etching. Then an inked work surface is used in paper making an effect or art print. Prints are frequently signed and additionally numbered through the artist in addition to would form portion of a reasonably limited edition. Consequently, through using this method, the logo or message becomes open to more individuals to get appreciated and also enjoyed.
Around the realm of art work prints, resulting from improved digital camera imaging products, Gisele (jeep-clay) processing has emerged as being the premier technique for recreating original works to the print channel. This system has presented with new living to art work reproductions along with extended your reach associated with artists to your larger projected audience. The practice derives their name in the French action-word "gilder" this means 'to spray so they can squirt' and provides us a good hint so that you may how the task works. Around Gisele, the original source of the particular reproduction is often a digital graphic that translates into the majority of accurate together with detailed supply image from where the reproduction created from. The handheld image is normally then produced on high-quality ink-jet models using archival inks along with papers generating an exposure quality Gisele artwork print having a life requirement that ranges generations.

text: Fluctuation is normal in a pump/tank/well system. There is a 20psi differential set in between pump-on & pump-off. Most pressure switches are set to 20/40 or 30/50 psi. I suggest you check out your tank. Is it a diaphragm type or some other type? Check the side of the tank for any labels with model number & specs for the pump & tank. For instance, a Well Rite WR60 tank is a 20 gal. tank with a drawdown of 6.8 gal. at 30/50 settings. You can use a mud bucket to measure your drawdown from high pressure to low & see how it compares to specs for the tank. Diaphragm tanks have an air precharge corresponding to the lower pressure setting. You can measure this by shutting off power to the pump, shutting off the house piping, & draining the tank. Use a tire pressure gauge on the valve stem at the top of the tank. Add air if necessary with a tire pump. If you see no pressure fluctuation with 2 faucets going, it means the pump is running constantly & not cycling on & off. What's your pump's rating in gpm compared with the flow from the 2 faucets? Also, is your pump turning on when it's supposed to or is it going below the turn-on setting? Maybe the pressure switch is clogged.

So someone contributes a fantastic bugfix to your project on github and you're happy. But there's a problem: besides the bugfix there are other changes too that you might not want to merge.
So what you do is you start cherry-picking the good stuff. On Stackoverflow there is actually a great answer on how to only cherry-pick some changes from one commit. Sadly, once you do it like in that answer you become the author of that new commit.
Someone took the effort to write a fix for your project so proper attribution is important.
The solution is
git commit -c <commit> which reuses the log message and the authorship information (including the timestamp) when creating the commit.
So the complete thing looks something like that:
git cherry-pick -n <commit> # get your patch, but don't commit (-n = --no-commit)
git reset # unstage the changes from the cherry-picked commit
git add -p # make all your choices (add the changes you do want)
git commit -c <commit> # make the commit and keep the author

Listening to stand-up comic Marc Maron's comedy as well as podcasts, one gets the impression that he likes a very specific and unique form of punch lines.
It seems as if he starts out thinking: Now what's so bad it could never be funny?
He then proceeds to find a way to make it funny, ensuring that the punch line itself is a straight-out, not-funny horrible truth. And yet you laugh at the punch line.
He is literally working hard to make sure that tragedy is funny without changing it for comic effect.
Well, he's a very busy guy. So, in the interest of making sure he doesn't run out of material, here are a few punchlines I would like to suggest to him:
Punchline #1: "…And then they discovered he raped three more women."
Punchline #2: "Fifteen American citizens were killed in the Al Qaeda attack."
Punchline #3: "After years of living as a homeless on the streets, he killed himself."
Punchline #4: "The kids swindled their old man out of his entire life savings."
Punchline #5: "…And now she's paralyzed from the neck down for her entire life."
Punchline #6: "I cried for two days straight. I wished I was dead."
I hope that was helpful, Marc, and that it saves you a lot of time in searching for additional material. If you need any more, don't hesitate to call.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected in the interior of ALH84001 at concentration in the parts per million range (McKay et al., 1996). PAHs are complex organic compounds with two or more fused aromatic rings (Fig. 1). On Earth, PAHs form as a result of the incomplete combustion of organic materials during industrial and other human activities, and also through diagenesis of organic compounds. McKay et al. (1996) only found a few different types of PAHs in the meteorite, in close association to the carbonate globules. This was taken as indicative of diagenetic alteration of microorganisms accumulated within the ALH84001. The controversy around this finding centered on whether these organic compounds formed on Mars, or represent terrestrial contamination from the Antarctic ice where ALH84001 was found. McKay et al. (1996) showed that the content of PAHs was minimum on the surface of the meteorite and increased towards its center, with a tendency to accumulate around the carbonate globules. Furthermore, ALH84001 is depleted in PAHs near its fusion crust, the edge of the meteorite that was melted during its passage through the Earth's atmosphere (Clemett et al., 1998). This suggests that the PAHs were already in the meteorite when it landed on Earth. On the other hand, positive Carbon-14 analyses indicates that a large portion of the organic carbon present in the meteorite is terrestrial contamination, despite a significant percentage
(~8%) has no Carbon-14 signature and is too old to be terrestrial. This carbon component could be an inorganic carbonate phase or a high molecular weight organic component, but it still remains uncharacterized (Jull et al., 1998; Becker et al., 1999). Steele et al. (2007) conducted spectroscopy and microscopy analyses of carbonate globules in ALH84001 and the Bockfjorden volcanic complex (BVC), Svalbard. The authors identified macromolecular carbon in association with the carbonate globules in both samples, which they linked to the uncharac-terized organic phase. Based on thermodynamic calculations, the authors postulated a non-biogenic origin associated to the primary development of the globules. Small amounts of amino acids, which are nearly identical to amino acids found in Antarctic ice, are also associated to the carbonate globules (Bada et al., 1998), indicating that the rock has in fact been contaminated to a certain degree with specific terrestrial organic compounds. Yet, other meteorites with no indigenous PAHs also found in Allan Hills, are clean of terrestrial PAHs contamination (Clemett et al., 1998), and the heterogeneous distribution of PAHs and their relatively large concentrations within the rock compared to the Allan Hills ice, are also hard to reconcile with contamination processes.
ALH84001 also contains nanophase magnetite (Fe3O4) and pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS, x = 0 to 0.2) crystals in rims surrounding the carbonate globules (McKay et al., 1996). Although both types of minerals are known to form individually through both biotic and abiotic processes, McKay et al. argued that simple inorganic precipitation models could not explained their coexistence. Life, however, operates under disequilibrium conditions and often favors the co-precipitation of minerals that could not otherwise occur simultaneously. Their close association to the carbonate globules was taken as further evidence for the intervention of life in the formation of these minerals. On Earth, some bacteria are known to co-precipitate intracellular iron-oxide and iron-sulfide particles, a biologically controlled mineralization process that can take place under anaerobic conditions (Blakemore, 1982; Petersen et al., 1986; Bazylinski and Frankel, 2003). Yet, Anders (1996) quickly pointed out that some C-chondrites, a different type of meteorites, also have a similar suit of mineralogies, which were clearly formed under abiotic conditions. The same author proposed and alternative, non-biological processes that could explain these seemingly incompatible mineralogies.

Although there's less than a month before the looming deadline for both parties in Washington to make a deal that avoids the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts imposed by last year's debt ceiling crisis deal, known as the 'fiscal cliff,' there seems to be little hope. The Democrats' latest position calls for a $1.3 trillion spending increase that includes an additional $50 billion stimulus attempt to offset the impact of their proposed tax increase on earners making over $250K a year. They also want the President to have unilateral authority to raise the debt ceiling without needing Congressional approval. In return, they promise to come to the table later to discuss spending cuts. That the Party of Stupid, AKA the Republicans, or at least some of them, are willing to bargain based upon this offering from the President and his legislative comrades-in-arms is clear evidence that those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. George H.W. Bush compromised with the Democrats in the Congress and agreed to raise taxes as part of a deal to bring the deficit under control back in 1991, and not only did the Democrats fail to cut spending as they agreed, they beat Bush over the head with the 'he lied about not raising taxes' meme... to the point of beating him out of the White House. Of course, Bush 41 had only to look back a few years to the Reagan 'deal' with Congressional Democrats, where once again future spending cuts for current tax increases was made by Republicans... and broken by Democrats. If Charles Schultz was a political cartoonist, Lucy would be the Democrats and Charlie Brown would be the Republicans... always falling for the same old trick.
So, where do we go now? Many prominent Democrat-aligned pundits, folks like economist/columnist Paul Krugman, are urging President Obama and the Democrats to hold hands and go off the Fiscal Cliff. The argument is, that by doing so, the Democrats get everything they want; tax hikes that they don't have to own, and spending cuts that hit defense spending more than other discretionary and mandatory spending. Better yet, the Democrats are confident that the media and public opinion will paint the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts as the sole responsibility of the 'unreasonable and extremist' Congressional Republicans... and they are probably correct. Because the GOP doesn't want to be seen as the Party that took us 'over the cliff', they think, Democrats hold all of the cards. Force the Republicans to break, to give in on Democrat positions on taxes and spending, they think, and not only will Democrats get everything of substance they want, but they also get the benefit of shattering the Republican party as an effective counterveiling political force. Even if the Republicans hold out, they will eventually cave and vote to lower taxes on everyone except the so-called '1%'... and then the Democrats will get credit for lowering taxes on most Americans. Or so the thinking goes.
I see it differently. What Democrat politicians and pundits, and many Republican pundits and politicians also, are ignoring is the impending debt ceiling, and how hitting it will force the Democrats' hands. The charade of federal spending without having the revenue stream to support it comes to an end once the government's ability to print money and swap it out for IOUs in the form of T-bills is the enabler of our reckless deficits, and when it can no longer occur the charade is over. This is why the Democrats want to usurp the authority to approve raises in the debt ceiling from Congress and hand it over to President Obama; holding fast on the debt ceiling is the nuclear weapon in terms of budget negotiations for the Republicans and the Democrats want them to unilaterally disarm.
Instead, the Republicans should offer the Democrats a deal they shouldn't refuse: leave the tax rates alone while modifying tax policies as outlined below, and enact a financially-responsible budget as outlined below... or we can all go over the Fiscal Cliff and then no Debt Ceiling raises. That means no more deficit spending after February at the latest... and draconian cuts to spending to match tax revenues. Either way will get us back to fiscal solvency, but the Republican alternative will do it in a more gradual, less painful fashion. The Democrat alternative, as proposed, will only lead us further into debt.
What sort of tax and spending proposals am I suggesting? The tax side is simple: let the super-wealthy (those making more than $5 million/year) pay the same rates on their capital gains as they would if it were ordinary income, exempt the super-wealthy from being able to avoid taxes by donating all or part of their wealth above $5 million to charitable trusts like the Gates Foundation, and eliminate federal tax deductions for secondary residences and state income taxes for everyone. Those changes would mostly affect the very wealthy, and they would raise over $3 trillion in the next decade... more than twice the amount that Obama's income tax rate hike would generate, without impacting the upper middle class family with two wage earners making low six-figure salaries. Reining in spending is equally simple: go back to the FY2007 budget, and increase it by the official government rate of inflation to 2012 levels. And then freeze it for two years before allowing a maximum increase to match the inflation rate, continuing to allow increases indexed to inflation every two years (just before the Congressional elections). As to how the money would be allotted among the different departments of the federal government, that is something that could initially be applied as per the current percentages and then renegotiated later in the year.
Three simple choices: do nothing and let the Democrats deal with the insolvency in a few months, take the proposed Republican plan and ease our way back to solvency in the next few years with minimal economic impact, or keep on down the road the Democrats have led us to until the US implodes within a decade... making the worst-case Fiscal Cliff/Debt Ceiling consequences and the Great Depression pale in comparison. The Republicans, and the country, have a way out of this mess. Do we have the will?

Henbit: The Purple Flower Weed
Ok we'll admit it, a little bunch of henbits are irresistible when brought by a well-meaning child saying, "I love you. Look what I picked just for you!" But seeing this weed in the yard is a constant reminder of how tall and "pretty" weeds can grow!
What is henbit? What does it look like?
Henbit is a winter annual weed that we can count on coming up every year, earlier than dandelion. You can identify them by the square stems and pink and purple flowers and they can grow up to 16 inches tall. Their leaves are dark green and have scalloped edges.
How do you treat henbit?
Henbit tends to pop up in early March, so chances are if you don't see it by now, you won't. But if you already have them, the best control is to just yank em up. If you have a lot, we recommend treating with a post-emergent herbicide. You can also simply wait until temps rise and they will die as they are winter annuals.
How do you prevent henbit?
To prevent them from coming up at all, we recommend mulching and applying a pre-emergent treatment in the spring.
Here's an overview of henbit:
Spreading about 12 inches tall; dark green, scallop-edge leaves
Life Cycle:
Winter annual
Where it Grows:
Lawn or gardens in sun or shade
Reproduces by:
How to Prevent:
Mulch gardens; use pre-emergent in spring
How to Remove:
Treat with a post-emergent herbicide

Apexatropin Because I put on excess fat and couldn't get lean enough without sacrificing muscle loss when it came to dieting down for Summer. So I was intimidated and manipulated too by the word "dieting" because I thought it solely consisted of eating nothing but "clean" foods and I felt I had to suffer on these strict diets, but I found a middle ground after 5 years of self experimentation. That middle ground being you can still have the foods you like and enjoy, so long as you are hitting your macronutrient numbers and total fiber number. I talked about this in great detail in my blog "Why count your macronutrients." https://apexatropin.co.za/
