Getting Started With Google Adwords
Online marketing and advertising seems to be a very complex platform for most business owners. Knowing that there are a lot of techniques and strategies that can be utilized, it may be a hard decision to choose among them and know which ones will effectively bring benefits to a website or an online business. Whether you are relatively new to this kind of field or not, you have most probably heard of Google Adwords. Simply put, it is one of the most popular methods of PPC or Pay Per Click form of advertising. Once applied and used strategically, this can be very effective in increasing sales and targeted traffic to a certain website.
Read - Google Adsense Approval
If you are looking for tips and guidelines about getting started with Google Adwords, you have landed on the right page. You may have tried several times and failed considerably, but no worries, because it happens most of the time. Your next step would be to evaluate those mistakes you've done previously and do it right this time.
Start with your keyword selection
One of the most common mistakes would be to select keywords that are recommended by Google. Remember that this is not how it works all the time. It is more essential to focus on quality traffic rather than picking something just because it ranks higher on a search engine.
Choose where to advertise
With this factor it is essential to know first if your business or website will be targeting a specific location or not. Of course, if you are only providing your services or products to a certain city or state, that means there should be no need to place your ads to websites that are not within your area. This will make it easier for your website to appear easily especially if you will try searching for it locally using refined keywords.
Know your competitors
As a business owner, you would definitely want to know where you stand. It might be a good idea to check your competitors' ads and see if there is something you can make a good use of. For example, if a competitor displays their rates and prices, you can see if there is any way you can lower down yours so customers can opt to avail of your services or products instead from that other company.
Select or place a relevant destination URL
Landing pages are now carefully reviewed and assessed by Google Adwords algorithm that's why it is very critical that your destination URL is relevant to your keyword and ad. It is also important that visitors are taken to a home page or landing page that they are expecting, rather than to mislead them and have them totally confused. It would also help a lot to come up with a website that is easy to navigate and understand so visitors won't get lost while at it.
Monitor, track and analyze
As soon as your ads are all good and running it is now time to monitor and tract its performance. You would want to find out about several factors such as your visitors' location, search engine and which links are usually clicked on your home page.

We have all heard about those girlfriends who dated a man for 5 to 10 years and sometimes even had a child with him only for him to dump her and then marry another woman who he has only known for 3 months. This story is way too familiar, so how do women keep falling into the same trap? Here are 5 simple signs he is wasting your time
1.No family introductions and functions
Family introductions differ from one person to another. It depends on how one grew up and whether they have a good relationship with their family or not. If he appears to be close to his family and he is serious about you then he will definitely introduce you to them and invite you for their family functions. If not, he will have friends who he considers to be his 'brothers' and those are the people he will introduce you to. Oh, he will also be very eager to meet your family and spend time with them.
If he has not introduced you, does not invite you for family functions or has reduced the number of functions he invites you to over time, he is making it easy for himself when he lets you go.
2. He does not talk about marriage
A man knows within the first month of dating whether they want to marry you or not. In this case there are 2 types of men: the ones who will tell you from the beginning that they will marry you, & the ones who will wait a few months before they start talking about marriage.
3. He has not taken any actions towards marriage
Has he told your parents about his intentions to marry you? Set a date? Booked a church? Or at least started saving for it?
If he hasn't done any of these despite having mentioned that he wants to marry you , he has no intention to.
4. He does not act like a husband
This is especially for those who met their boyfriends while they were going through the adventurous and experimental phase which probably includes a lot of partying and drinking. If he still acts like that, he is not anywhere close to ready. When a man is ready he becomes toned down and starts to save and invest more…because he is thinking about how to take care of his family. So if the entire time you've been with this guy he has been a party animal, leave him.
5. He just hasn't done it!
If he wants to marry you, he will just do it! Plain and simple. It's really not that complicated.

The Sarken is an all-round crampon, that loves to be challenged with steep mixed terrain and ice climbing, but is just as happy with easier climbs and glacier travel. The Sarkens are pretty lightweight for such a tough crampon, and are going to be way more durable than some of the super lightweight products on the market. The crampons fit most alpine boots and are quickly and easily adjustable. The Sarken has the lever lock universal binding, which means they can be used with any boot with a rear welt. It's easy to make small adjustments to fit the shape and size of your boot with this wheel on the back. Petzl Sarken Crampon | Tech Spec Review

Twenty years ago this month, a pair of Stanford PhD students founded a search engine company based in their friend Susan's Menlo Park garage. Initially named "BackRub," Larry Page and Sergey Brin eventually thought better of it and opted for a misspelling of the term googol, denoting the number one followed by 100 zeros.
To mark its 20th anniversary, Google's peppering its properties with some fun Easter eggs, in addition to the above doodle. Starting today, a number of circa 1998-style queries will prompt the suggestion "It's 2018! Did you mean?
There are 17 such queries. So, spoilers, here's the list:
The Google Street View feature is even more fun. The aforementioned Susan (who now runs a little video site) has kindly offered up an inside glimpse of the space where it all started. The garage has been restored to its old glory, with the old-school Google homepage on an equally old-school monitor. There's also the bedroom that serviced as the company's "Worldwide Headquarters."
It's a history littered with school jackets, empty pizza boxes and a stray Koosh ball or two.

NoteIn the following scenario everything is done within one machine. This setup can be recreated with more then one machine as well. Use your imagination!
TaskI want to have subdomains like static.mydomain or whatever.mydomain.
- any host OS that is capable of running Virtualbox, VMware or your favorite virtualisation software
- a linux distribution that uses/supplies a small kernel, like Ubuntu server, Fedora without X, Arch or any of your choice, preferably one that you are familiar with. Of course if you are not a linux guru you can still use a gui, just give enough memory for your guest linux.
Setup process
- have your virtualisation software set up on your host
- install your linux distro of choice as a guest, it is best to use at least one "Bridged" (my choice) or "Host only" network adapters that every other guest machine can see too if you later need it.
- set up your /etc/resolv.conf file to have your nameservers in the following order:
(NOTE: only the first one has to be your localhost, the remaining two is your choice of providers)
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 22.214.171.124
nameserver 220.127.116.11
- install the package that has dnsmasq in it or compile it from source.
- setup dnsmasq according to the example below:
dnsmasq configuration
Generally the config file is at /etc/dnsmasq.conf.
Let's say you want to have a domain that is resolved by your machine -who take part in the development- as one of the dev machines address on the local network. For example I want to have the domain ikondev to be resolved to the ip address of VM1 (Virtual Machine 1 on the above image). This way we can have several subdomains for ikondev without updating /etc/hosts file each and every time we add a new subdomain to our webserver to listen to.
In your dnsmasq.conf set the following lines: (these lines has to be uncommented too)
In your dnsmasq.conf set the following lines: (these lines has to be uncommented too)
- domain-needed
- bogus-priv
- strict-order (this will make this local DNS server to be the main nameserver)
- address=/ikondev/192.168.1.101 (this is the entry for the ikondev domain to point to the machine with 192.168.1.101. You can set up several more entries like this of course)
- interface=eth0 (eth0 has to be changed to your network interface which connects to the development network)
- no-dhcp-interface=eth0 (eth0 has to be the same as the one for the previous setting as we do not want to set up a dhcp server)
Final touches
Now all we have to do is restart the network and the dnsmasq services and set all the dev machines primary nameserver to be VM2's ip address as it will be serving our local and mainstream resolves.
Voila! all subdomains typed for ikondev will be resolved as VM1. :)

And if you want to read a very, very long document, you have the option of pivoting the screen into a portrait orientation. There is even pivoting software bundled in the box, although most graphics drivers will do this for you these days.
There's also an integrated USB hub, with two ports on the left hand side and one directly on top of the screen. The latter is there to take advantage of BenQ's USB webcam that just slots straight in, with no need for messy trailing cables. The webcam is an optional extra, but BenQ couldn't tell me how much it will be at the time of writing.
BenQ hasn't been too stingy with the extras either. In the box you'll find a DVI cable (it says optional in the manual, but the website says it's included and I had one in the box), a D-SUB cable, a USB cable, a quick start guide and a full user manual on disc. There's no HDMI cable provided, but to be fair to BenQ, I'd expect to get one of these with a source device, as I did with my Sky HD box.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, the FP241W makes my previous favourite monitor look decidedly expensive – although £835 was a bargain for the Samsung back in March, you're still going to pay around £740 for it now. BenQ on the other hand has been incredibly aggressive with the pricing for the FP241W, and it's already available for a truly staggering £646 including VAT! And with that in mind, it's impossible not to recommend this screen.
I've looked at a few BenQ monitors over the years, but the FP241W completely rewrites the script. Not only does it have the widest array of inputs that I've ever seen in a desktop monitor, but the image quality is equally impressive, while the price is truly incredible. Even the design and build quality of this screen are both first rate. When you throw the HDCP compliant HDMI port into the equation, BenQ really does have every single base covered with this screen. Put simply, if you're after a 24in widescreen monitor, this is the one to buy.

Deena Nicole Cortese had called the Jersey Shore home for many summers.
On Thursday night -- thanks to a phone call by her long-time friend Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi -- the 23-year-old from Ocean County will call the Jersey Shore house home.
Premiering at 10 p.m., the third season of MTV's wildly popular reality series follows seven regulars, as well as the lone addition -- Cortese.
She replaces villainous vixen Angelina Pivarnick and is the show's only member from South Jersey.
"It's been nothing but surreal," Cortese said.
Shot in Seaside Heights over the summer, the Jersey Shore gang packs up the party -- as well as the stilettos and Ed Hardy T-shirts -- and returns from its Season 2 Miami Beach abode to the old, infamous Jersey beach home.
Describing herself as "class in a glass and party in a body," Cortese was excited about entering a household already full of divas, debauchery and, of course, drama.
"If someone steps on my toes, I'm going to stand up for myself," said Cortese, who earned the nickname "Energizer Bunny" among her seven housemates.
A lifetime of partying and crashing at beach houses made her adjustment into the hedonistic household an easy one, she said.
"That's what the Jersey Shore is," said Cortese, one of only two cast members actually from New Jersey. "It's a place where you rent out a place with people you may not know just to cut costs."
Her biggest adjustment, she says, was adapting to the constant surveillance, especially when she had to, umm, go.
"I would try to hold it until I got to a tanning salon," she said, laughing.
The omnipresent cameras, however, "become like furniture after a while," she said. "You don't even notice them."
Yet people are noticing the footage now.
Even before appearing on the show, Cortese has made some bold headlines. Promos for the season premiere show the new starlet stripping down to nothing in front of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, though she said she thought she was wearing a swimsuit beneath her shorts.
"I told my family everything I did once I got home," explained Cortese, who resides with her parents in New Egypt in Ocean County, just outside Burlington County.
Cortese, who auditioned for the first season in 2009, says Snooki called her following the taping of Season 2 and asked if she wanted to be her "partner in crime'' for the upcoming season.
Jersey sure, she says.
"I was so excited," said Cortese, who then got approval from the producers.
Since taping ended in August, she has put her life on ice, not returning to her former waitressing position at an area LongHorn Steakhouse nor employing her dental assistant certification.
"Everybody keeps telling me not to change," Cortese said.
Some aren't as excited about another Jersey Shore season, believing the show reinforces many Italian stereotypes and New Jersey punchlines. Cortese, however, says the show is a boon for beach business.
"I don't think (the show) puts down New Jersey," she insists. "It's brought so much money into Seaside and is definitely promoting it. It's such a good thing for Seaside."
Whichever direction Jersey Shore takes her, Cortese is proud to represent South Jersey.
"I don't wish I did anything differently," she said. "I feel like everything that happened was meant to happen."

BOOK REVIEW: Now In Paperback: 'The Devil's Company,' David Liss's Novel of 18th Century London
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 16:07 Reviewed by David M. Kinchen
He's baaack! Benjamin Weaver, the Sephardic Jewish ex-boxer turned private investigator, who made his debut in David Liss's historical novel "A Conspiracy of Paper," and who returned in "A Spectacle of Corruption," makes his third appearance in "The Devil's Company" ( Ballantine Books paperback, 392 pages, $15.00).
Technically, Weaver isn't a private eye -- they didn't exist in London in 1722 -- he's a thieftaker, which combines the elements of a P.I. and a bounty hunter in a city that didn't have a police force. The most famous thieftaker was Jonathan Wild (1683-1725), a real life counterpart to Weaver, who operated on both sides of the law and was hanged at Tyburn.
The "Devil's Company" in the title is the British East India Company, a quasi-governmental agency -- it could be called a conglomerate or global corporation in today's language -- that played a major role in the British takeover of India. Later, it played a role in the opium wars of the 1830s that led to the British colony of Hong Kong.
The company was incorporated in 1600, formed for trade with East and Southeast Asia and India. It began as a monopolistic trading body, establishing early trading stations at various places in the Subcontinent. Trade in spices was its original focus; this broadened to include cotton, silk, and other goods. In 1708 it merged with a rival and was renamed the United Co. of Merchants of England Trading to the East Indies.
Weaver is hired by Jerome Cobb, to break into the Company's headquarters in London and find some documents Cobb wants. Weaver is more or less forced to do the black-bag job by Cobb, after he failed in a card game that was rigged from the start and ends up owning Cobb a vast sum of money. Cobb also threatens to bankrupt a co-religionist, Moses Franco, Weaver's uncle Miguel and Weaver's Gentile friend and drinking buddy, physician Elias Gordon.
Jews are accepted only marginally in Hanoverian England, a kingdom that had banned Jews from settling since the mid-13th Century, only permitting them to live there beginning in 1658 under the government of Oliver Cromwell.
Like Liss's previous novel, "The Whiskey Rebels" (for my review:http://www.huntingtonnews.net/columns/081030-kinchen-columnsbookreview.html) "The Devil's Company" resonates with today's news of corrupt corporations, lobbying, industrial espionage, etc. After completing the job, Weaver is ordered to become a security man at the Company where he's instructed to find out what happened to a mysterious man named Absalom Pepper.
Once inside the Company, Weaver meets a mysterious beautiful woman, Celia Glade, who may or may not be engaged in the same kind of activity. You knew there had to be a beautiful woman; "The Whiskey Rebels" featured a strong, determined and beautiful woman.
Raymond Chandler's fiendishly complicated plots have nothing on Liss; once inside "the Devil's Company," Weaver discovers hidden agendas that take him to the lower depths of London. Each revelation leads to further complications and Weaver and his friends finally face more than financial ruin at the hands of Cobb and his associates.
David Liss is a master of research, dialogue and description. in "The Devil's Company" you'll be transported to a world where trash littered streets are invaded by street racers, young aristocrats racing phaetons drawn by wild-eyed horses, with no regard for the safety of people. You'll go inside prisons like the Fleet, which are governed by their own rules. You'll visit houses of ill-repute catering to men of all sexual preferences. And the more you discover -- along with Weaver -- about Absalom Pepper, the more amazed you'll be.
Weaver is a sympathetic protagonist. "The Devil's Company" is a fast-paced enjoyable way to absorb some history. And, if you think the idea of a Jewish boxer is ludicrous, you don't know much about the history of pugilism. As far back as the 18th Century, Daniel Mendoza of England was the heavyweight champion of the world from 1792-1795. Like Weaver, he was a Sephardic Jew. Mendoza's dates are 1764-1836 and he was the only middleweight ever to be heavyweight champion of the world. He's often considered the father of scientific boxing.
About the Author: David Liss is the author of six novels. His first novel, "A Conspiracy of Paper," won the 2000 Edgar Award for Best First Novel. This best-seller was followed by "The Coffee Trader," "A Spectacle of Corruption," "The Ethical Assassin" and "The Whiskey Rebels." David Liss's novels have been translated into more than two dozen languages. He lives in San Antonio,TX with his wife and children. Visit his web site at www.davidliss.com.

I sometimes laugh at parts of books that really aren't meant to be funny (I think). I don't even know if I find them funny, but something about it makes me laugh.
Two examples:
In the short story Beer at the Corner Bar from Hot Water Music by Charles Bukowski, Bukowski is at the bar. He'd rather be left alone, but someone is trying to have a conversation with him. Here's how part of it goes:
"You from Los Angeles?" he asked.
"You think the Dodgers will make it this year?"
"You don't like the Dodgers?"
"What do you like?"
"Boxing. Bullfighting."
"Bullfighting's cruel."
"Yes, anything is cruel when you lose."
"But the bull doesn't stand a chance."
"None of us do."
I enjoyed the whole conversation, but I laughed out loud at that last line.
Another example is from the end of Sister Carrie. The last two pages consist of Dreiser editorializing about Carrie's life, how she always chases beauty and will never be satisfied. Here's how the story ends:
Oh, Carrie, Carrie! Oh, blind strivings of the human heart! Onward, onward, it saith, and where beauty leads, there it follows. Whether it be the tinkle of a lone sheep bell o'er some quiet landscape, or the glimmer of beauty in sylvan places, or the show of soul in some passing eye, the heart knows and makes answer, following. It is when the feet weary and hope seems vain that the heartaches and the longings arise. Know, then, that for you is neither surfeit nor content. In your rocking-chair, by your window dreaming, shall you long, alone. In your rocking-chair, by your window, shall you dream such happiness as you may never feel.
I laughed when I read that last sentence. I was on a train, smiling and laughing. I read it a few times. The sentence has a sad message, but I smiled and laughed. Why?
I remember a post by Seth Roberts where he said "Laughter is a big and important part of life. Visible, common, highly desirable — yet mysterious."
It does seem mysterious. In the post Seth says "laughter is caused by sudden pleasure." I think that's a sufficient but not necessary condition for laughter. For example, sometimes people laugh when they feel uncomfortable, aren't sure what to say, but want to break the silence (for example, during an awkward social interaction). In that case, perhaps laughter is a way of releasing tension.
I'd say we laugh when:
- we hear something that we think is funny
- we see/hear something that we like but didn't expect
- as a social bonding mechanism (laugh with our peers to signal that we like them, share their values, etc)

The first two could be thought of as types of sudden unexpected pleasure.

Published at Monday, December 18th, 2017 - 02:09:53 AM. Bedding. By Darcel Leroux.
Always take your time reading through the description when buying online to determine what is included in the luxury bedding set you are thinking of buying. In most cases the set will include a duvet cover and matching pillow cases. A single cover will have one pillow case, while double or larger will come with two pillow cases. You will then need to find extra pillow cases and a sheet that matches your colour choice perfectly.
Cotton is always a top choice, but try and choose luxury bedding sets made from one hundred percent cotton. Cotton is a very durable, strong and breathable material. At the same time it will keep you warm in winter and cool during the summer months, making it the ideal year round solution to add to your bedroom space.

Environmental Documents & Notices
State law (California Environmental Quality Act) requires that all cities evaluate and consider the potential effect on the environment of projects they undertake directly, such as a capital works project, or for a private entity where the City approves an application.
If the City determines the project may have a significant effect on the environment, the City must prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR):
- Describing the effect of the project on the environment
- Suggesting "mitigation measures" to reduce the effect
- Evaluating alternatives to the project which may have less effect on the environment
If the City determines the project will not have a significant effect on the environment, a (Mitigated) Negative Declaration is prepared stating the reasons why the project will not have a significant effect and suggested mitigation measures.
The EIR or (Mitigated) Negative Declaration must be certified or adopted by the City's decision-making body. Before the document is certified or approved, the City must:
- Provide a draft copy for public review
- Include comments that the City received on the draft, and the City's response to them
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and Statutes
Planning Director Memorandum to Planning Commission
(Mitigated) Negative Declarations and EIRs that are now in the public review process are listed below:

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on here for a long time but some of the longstanding members may remember me when I was a fairly regular poster a little around 6 or 7 years ago. For those who don't know me, I've been DJing for many years, I DJ'd the Friday nights and also the Rewind Nights at Legends in Warrington until 1993 then moved on to Maximes in Wigan where I DJ'd for a further 4 years before moving onto other DJ things.
I thought it might be useful to let people know that I've decided to thin out my vinyl collection and will be selling a load of mainly UK and Italian 12" singles plus some US stuff via Discogs over the coming weeks and months. A number of you may be interested in some of the stuff for sale.
I've only just started posting items and will be adding batches of tunes over the coming weeks. I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff on there. Most of the stuff for sale is in near mint condition and in some cases is unplayed so for people looking to replace worn copies or for newbies looking to bolster their collection this is the ideal opportunity. Nearly all the items will be priced reasonably cheaply so a good chance to grab some bargains!
I'm also open to offers and bulk purchases for anything listed at £2.50 or under I'll do 6 for £5.00 or 12 for £10.00 so if you think you might want 5 or more tunes please get in touch via PM, preferably via Discogs, and I can get the best deal on postage.
My seller ID on Discogs is as follows:
Buy Vinyl Records and CDs from Lexian at Discogs Marketplace
Happy browsing and hope a few of you might find something you want.
All the best.

Pop Ups in Notebooking
Earlier I wrote a post about this fun pop up card site. I haven't had a chance to use it in a classroom but two Social Studies teachers I know have.
They had their fourth grade students make the pop up explorer ship and write facts about Christopher Columbus. One teacher had her students put it in their notebook and the other teacher put them out in the hall. They turned out very cute!
I did do pop up cards with my Girl Scout troop using the turkey and though that might make a good ELA lesson. Students could practice their writing skills and let their families know what they are thankful for.

Fresh from his successful Bank of Ireland sale, the US billionaire's firm has struck a joint venture agreement with Irish investment house Cardinal Capital that aims to raise €400m for property investments.
The new fund will be open to new investors as well as those who backed Wilbur Ross, pictured, previously on deals including his successful Bank of Ireland play. The fund-raising is expected to be finalised by September.
Once raised, the new fund will make so-called "mezzanine finance" investments in commercial and residential property schemes here.
Mezzanine finance is a relatively risky form of investment that bridges the gap between loans and pure equity – a mezzanine provider typical charges a higher interest rate than banks but unlike traditional lenders is well back in the queue to be repaid if a deal fails.
Cardinal Capital Group was set up by finance veterans Nick Corcoran and Nigel McDermott to invest in mainly financial assets. The firm was involved in putting together the €1.1bn 2011 deal when Wilbur Ross first invested in Bank of Ireland, and missed out in a bid to buy EBS, which was later nationalised and folded into AIB. It already operates a National Pension Reserve Fund-backed joint venture with US private equity giant Carlyle Group set up to invest in small and medium enterprises.
Mr Corcoran was a founder of Zurich Capital Markets (ZCM), one of the world's leading hedge fund asset managers, while Nigel McDermott was previously a director of International Investment & Underwriting (IIU) and stockbrokers NCB.
Meanwhile the Government will look for at least 30 cents a share when it sells its stake in Bank of Ireland to beat Wilbur Ross's average sale price of 29 cents, an analyst is predicting.
Merrion Capital's banking analyst Ciaran Callaghan said the political consideration of trying to match or better US investor Wilbur Ross is now likely to play a role in the timing and price of the State's exit strategy.
"We think that the minister (for finance) may target a share disposal price above the 30c level as its exit point. Politically the minister (and Government) would then be able to argue that the State generated a profit from its Bank of Ireland equity investment and also achieved a price broadly in line, or better, than the average exit price of Wilbur Ross (circa 29c)."
Finance Minister Michael Noonan has told the Dail that there is no immediate plan to sell the State's shareholding, which he said was valued at €1.2bn.
The Government stake is now valued at around 20pc less than it was in March, when Wilbur Ross began selling his stake.
Targeting a disposal price of 30 cents each would mean the Government waiting till the stock trades around 12pc higher than yesterday's 26.5 cents a share levels in Dublin.

Among those who are interested in the history of the Roman alphabet it is generally taken for granted that the letter shapes throughout Europe have been derived from inscriptions which were cut in stone during the Roman Imperiare. Of paramount importance among these monumental inscriptions is that on a tablet at the base of the TRAJAN column in Rome. Indeed it is dignity, the elegance, and the legibility of these inscriptions from the age of Emperor Augustus through that of Trajan and Hadrian that has given such general acceptance to the theory that they are the origins of subsequent letter shapes used in the western world. I cannot, however, accept that theory without some reservations. In fact, I reject that theory. Oct. 29 '67 E. Catich
Inscription letters are carefully-made display letters (littera actuaria) written with the sign-writers brush by a librarius (book scribe) turned display-sign-writer. The display letter, littera acturia, in turn, was derived from the librarial bookhand, i.e, littera libraria, - the formal, restrained calligraphic script used in books.
