To engage your Snapchat followers using a video or a snap, you need to create it a certain way only. The option of sending an old snap located in your phone memory is not available on this social media platform. The snaps you are sending are taken and recorded at that moment before sending it. It is a simple process that you can do on your own after reading this.
The front camera is recommended to enable you to view exactly what you are recording. Tap on the circle shutter button located at the bottom part of your screen to take a still snap. For videos, press and hold the circle to start recording the video snap now. It is important to note that you can do so for up to a maximum of 10 seconds. If you are not satisfied with snap or the video, tap of 'X' button to delete it.
Set the timer to limit viewing time to between 1 to 10 seconds on photo snaps. When your Snapchat followers receive the snap, they can see it only for that period as it will automatically disappear once the 10 seconds elapse.
The 'Unwritten Rules' of Snapchat Followers
Snapchat took the world by storm. It was a social media platform that came with a different and more interesting concept and a large number of people joined it. It became even more exciting as people were given the chance to sharevideos o events taking place in real time. It does not matter where you are or how far apart you are with your loved ones, Snapchat gives you a chance to share the events that arehappening in your life with them. All that you need is a device that can record videos and one that is internet enabled and can connect to Snapchat.
There are however people that have complained that they are not rally getting the hype that they thought that they would be getting form Snapchat. They do not seem to be getting the likes and the followers that they thought would come automatically once they post their videos. They have tried everything that they know but nothing seems to be working and this has been a very frustrating experience for them. In the event that you are among these people, there is some good news for you; it is possible for you to be redeemed from this frustration.
Most people have taken a path that makes them ignore the 'unwritten rules' of Snapchat. There are people that get too personal on Snapchat. They like to post videos of very irrelevant and even the most intimate moments of their lives and post them on Snapchat. This tends to be very annoying to the other users of Snapchat. It is true that people want to see videos of what is happening in your life but they do not really want to see and know of each and every small thing that takes place. Thus getting too personal on Snapchat will work very well to make any Snapchat user get the Snapchat followers that he or she is looking for.
The length of the videos that you post on Snapchat is also another very important factor. You need to understand that very few people have time to spend the whole day on Snapchat doing nothing but watching videos. Thy want something short that they can watch, get the entertainment or information that they need and then go back to their lives. In the event that you are those people who like posting extremely lengthy videos on Snapchat, stop worrying about how come you never get any likes or followers, just stop posting videos that are too lengthy.
Another very important unwritten rule in the use of Snapchat is that the world of Snapchat is a give and take environment. You need to follow others and watchand like their videos for them to give back the same to you. Note that it operates just like any other social media platform. IF you do not interact with people on the platform, you will not get the Snapchat followers that you are looking for. What you give on eh social media platforms is exactly what you will get. You should never expect that people will like and follow you simply because you are you; you also have to show the willingness to interact with them and follow them back and like their videos and content also.
Moderation is also very important in the world of Snapchat. Moderation here mans that you need to watch the frequency with which you post videos, the length of these videos and the amount of interaction that you have with people on Snapchat. You do not want to look like that idler who never has anything else to do other than waste time seeking people's attention on social media. This will be even worse in the event that you have a habit of posting irrelevant content. People will automatically shy away from you and they will even unfollow you because they will get tired of their phones beeping due to notifications from Snapchat on what you have posted. Moderate your postings and the content of your video, interact with people as much as you want them to interact with you and check the content of the videos that you post and you will be good to go.

It began in 1893 when Edsko Hekman ventured from the Netherlands to
Grand Rapids, Michigan hoping to find his life's work as a furniture
The Panic of 1893 would lead him in a new direction, returning him to his first
profession as a baker. Selling cookies door-to-door, Edsko eventually went on
to found the Hekman Biscuit Company, which was later to become the Keebler
Edsko's enchantment with furniture, crafted in the old-world traditions,
would later blossom in his three sons John, Jelle and Henry. They would fulfill
their father's dream and open the doors of the Hekman Furniture Company
in 1922.
In 1970 the company became a division of Beatrice Foods until 1983 when Hekman
was purchased by the Howard Miller Clock Company of Zeeland, Michigan. In 1993,
Hekman acquired Woodmark Furniture, an upholstery company founded by Elliot
Wood whose discriminating standards were a perfect match to Hekman's long
tradition of excellence. The company now enjoyed a position of strength in its
ability to offer its customer superior casegoods and the finest in upholstery.
The careful selection of ingredients, the patient hands-on techniques and the
exacting presentation... the shared passions of the baker Edsko and his
furniture-making sons, remain the hallmarks of the Hekman Furniture Company
Now, almost a century old, Hekman is widely recognized as one of America's
premier furniture suppliers.
Companies who rightfully take pride in their longevity and success
share a history replete with unparalleled integrity, uncompromising quality and
exceptional vision. And, so it is with Woodmark.
Founded in 1964, by Elliot Sherrill Wood, a man whose roots were nurtured in
the Southern furniture industry, Woodmark was destined to become the standard
by which all others would take their measure.
Elliot Wood began his career in his father's wholesale rug company and
would later, in 1932, open his own retail store.
His custom upholstery shop featured chairs, sofas and loveseats using frames
and fabrics from industry giants such as Jofa, Schumacher, Charles Assenze,
Leopold Columbo and more. Wood served a clientele with discriminating taste and
high expectations of fine craftsmanship.
In 1964, the Woodmark Furniture Company, now at home on English Street in High
Point, North Carolina, was officially open for business. Wood was instrumental
in founding other furniture companies as well ... Stanton-Cooper, Dansen Contemporary and
Seventeen individuals who worked for Elliot Wood would later become presidents
of furniture companies. Perhaps no one individual would have a greater, more
penetrating influence on the industry than Elliot Wood.
In 1993, Woodmark was purchased by Hekman Furniture, a Howard Miller Company.
The union of Hekman and Woodmark, companies who share an unflagging commitment
to excellence, offers customers an array of the finest in both quality
casegoods and fine upholstery.

LINCOLN, N.H. - The men's skiing team from Plymouth State College did one step better than PSC's women's squad did in the giant slalom event at the U.S. Collegiate Skiing Championships, held at Loon Mountain.
The Panther men, who watched the PSC women's squad take fourth in the national in the GS on Wednesday, brought home third place among 17 schools in the men's GS on Thursday. Defending champion Sierra Nevada College placed first, followed by Green Mountain College, PSC, Whitman College, UMass and Colby-Sawyer.
Each team races five skiers on two runs apiece, with the combined times of the top three from each team used to determine the team standings. The PSC men finished seventh in the GS at last year's nationals.
Like the PSC women, the Panther men finished Thursday with two skiers earning All-America status by finishing in the top 15 among the 110 individuals. Junior Fred DeBaets (St. Sauveur, Quebec) and sophomore Tim Mitchell (Ashland, MA) were one one-hundredth of a second (.01) apart, DeBaets placing 10th and Mitchell 11th. DeBaets, who was an All-American in the slalom (12th) at last year's national championships, redeemed himself after falling in the GS last year. Mitchell earns All-America skiing honors for the first time in his career.
Sophomore EJ Cheney (Bethel, Maine) and freshman Justin Parent (Sanbornville, NH) also turned in strong finishes for PSC. Cheney took 17th place in the GS, while Parent had a strong second run and moved up to 20th. Junior Ryan Cornish (Carmel, NY) rounded out the PSC contingent, finishing in a tie for 37th.
The women's slalom is scheduled for Friday at Loon, while the men's slalom wraps things up on Saturday.
The Panther women have finished fourth in the combined team standings at the nationals the past two years, while the men were fifth last season and national runner-up in 1998. Both PSC squads are led by veteran coach Kim Bownes.

Moral of the story
"You can't look at the competition and say you're going to do it better.
You have to look at the competition and say you're going to do it differently."
Kerry is a business strategy genius! I got in touch with her after hearing from a business owner in Paris that working with Kerry, and having her take on their digital marketing was the best thing she had done for her business. I had to meet Kerry!
I went into our half-day business strategy session overwhelmed with the amount of ideas, projects, to-do lists I had for my new business. I left inspired and with a clear idea of how to divide my time, of the important immediate steps to take as well as my big vision.
Based on her astute suggestions, in the following few days some incredible collaborations came about that are taking my business to an exciting new level. Things are happening much more quickly than expected, and this is down to Kerry.
Kerry is so in-demand that she can cherry-pick her clients. But I'm hoping to persuade her to work with me further in the future! Thank you SO much Kerry - incredible how half a day has saved me months of work. Now I know exactly where to focus on growing my business.
We were recommended to source Kerry from another business. She has enhanced our business and proven to be gold in her field of expertise. Efficient and thorough, we cannot stress enough how valuable her knowledge and approach to our needs has been to us. We really couldn't have asked for any more, 100% the best business decision we have made, getting Kerry on board.
I needed to work on my digital strategy in order to communicate better for my brand. I contacted Kerry to work on the social network strategy. Kerry has worked on campaigns on Facebook, write regular posts on different topics on my blog. ( Paris / French culture / French language).
She has put into place a very effective strategy which helped me gain many more clients. In just a few months she has done an incredible job. Kerry is very responsive, effective and creative. Thanks to her, my company is now expanding more and more each month. On top of that, collaborating with her is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend working with her.

A stone slab bearing 3,000-year-old writing previously unknown to scholars has been found in the Mexican state of Veracruz, and archaeologists say it is an example of the oldest script ever discovered in the Western Hemisphere.
The Mexican discoverers and their colleagues from the United States reported yesterday that the order and pattern of carved symbols appeared to be that of a true writing system and that it had characteristics strikingly similar to imagery of the Olmec civilization, considered the earliest in the Americas.
Finding a heretofore unknown writing system is rare. One of the last major ones to come to light, scholars say, was the Indus Valley script, recognized from excavations in 1924.
Now, scholars are tantalized by a message in stone in a script unlike any other and a text they cannot read. They are excited by the prospect of finding more of this writing, and eventually deciphering it, to crack open a window on one of the most enigmatic ancient civilizations.
The inscription on the Mexican stone, with 28 distinct signs, some of which are repeated, for a total of 62, has been tentatively dated from at least 900 B.C., possibly earlier. That is 400 or more years before writing was known to have existed in Mesoamerica, the region from central Mexico through much of Central America, and by extension, anywhere in the hemisphere.Continue reading the main story
Previously, no script had been associated unambiguously with the Olmec culture, which flourished along the Gulf of Mexico in Veracruz and Tabasco well before the Zapotec and Maya people rose to prominence elsewhere in the region. Until now, the Olmec were known mainly for the colossal stone heads they sculptured and displayed at monumental buildings in their ruling cities.
The stone was discovered by María del Carmen Rodríguez of the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico and Ponciano Ortíz of Veracruz University. The archaeologists, a married couple, are the lead authors of the report of the discovery, which is being published today in the journal Science.
The signs incised on the 26-pound stone, the researchers said in the report, "link the Olmec to literacy, document an unsuspected writing system and reveal a new complexity to this civilization."
Noting that the text "conforms to all expectations of writing," the researchers wrote that the sequences of signs reflected "patterns of language, with the probable presence of syntax and language-dependent word orders."
Several paired sequences of signs, scholars said, have even prompted speculation that the text contained poetic couplets.
Experts who have examined the Olmec symbols said they would need many more examples before they could hope to read what is written on the stone. They said it appeared that the symbols in the inscription were unrelated to later Mesoamerican scripts, suggesting that this Olmec writing might have been practiced for only a few generations and never spread to surrounding cultures.
Stephen D. Houston of Brown University, a co-author of the report and an authority on ancient writings, acknowledged that the apparent singularity of the script was a puzzle and would probably be emphasized by some scholars who question the influence of the Olmec on the course of later Mesoamerican cultures.
But Dr. Houston said the discovery "could be the beginning of a new era of focus on the Olmec civilization."
Other participants in the research include Michael D. Coe of Yale; Richard A. Diehl of the University of Alabama; Karl A. Taube of the University of California, Riverside; and Alfredo Delgado Calderón, also of the National Institute of Anthropology and History.
Mesoamerican researchers not involved in the discovery agreed that the signs appeared to represent a true script and that their appearance could be expected to inspire more intensive exploration of the Olmec past. The civilization emerged about 1200 B.C. and virtually disappeared around 400 B.C.
In an accompanying article in Science, Mary Pohl, an anthropologist at Florida State University who has excavated Olmec ruins, was quoted as saying, "This is an exciting discovery of great significance."
A few other researchers were skeptical of the inscription's date because the stone was uncovered in a gravel quarry where it and other artifacts were jumbled and possibly out of their original context.
The discovery team said that ceramic shards, clay figurines and other broken artifacts accompanying the stone appeared to be from a phase of Olmec culture ending about 900 B.C. They conceded, though, that the disarray at the site made it impossible to determine if the stone was in a place relating to the governing elite or a religious ceremony.
Dr. Diehl, a specialist in Olmec research, said, "My colleagues and I are absolutely convinced the stone is authentic."
Road builders digging gravel came across the stone in debris from an ancient mound at Cascajal, a place the discoverers said was in the "Olmec heartland." The village is on an island in southern Veracruz and about a mile from the ruins of San Lorenzo, the site of the dominant Olmec city from 1200 B.C. to 900 B.C.
That was in 1999, and Dr. Rodríguez and Dr. Ortíz were called in, and they quickly recognized the potential importance of the find.
Only after years of further excavations, in which they hoped to find more writing specimens, and comparative analysis with Olmec iconography did the two invite other Mesoamerican scholars to join the study. After a few reports in recent years of Olmec "writing" that failed to hold up, the team decided earlier this year that the Cascajal stone, as it is being called, was the real thing.
The tiny, delicate signs are incised on a block of soft serpentine stone 14 inches long, 8 inches wide and 5 inches thick. The inscription is on the stone's concave top surface.
Dr. Houston, who was a leader in the decipherment of Maya writing, examined the stone with an eye to clues that this was true writing and not just iconography unrelated to a language. He said in an interview that he had detected regular patterns and order suggesting "a text segmented into what almost look like sentences, with clear beginnings and clear endings."
Some pictographic signs were frequently repeated, Dr. Houston said, particularly ones that looked like an insect or a lizard. He suspected that these were signs alerting the reader to the use of words that sound alike but have different meanings — as in the difference in English of "I" and "eye."
All in all, Dr. Houston concluded, "the linear sequencing, the regularity of signs, the clear patterns of ordering, they tell me this is writing, but we don't know what it says."Continue reading the main story

In Marvel Comics' classic "Amazing Fantasy" #15, the legendary creative team of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko transformed teenage Peter Parker into Marvel's flagship hero, the Amazing Spider-Man. Early on in the issue, Peter receives his super powers and creates the identity of Spider-Man, but that's not what transforms him into a hero. Spider-Man's true career begins after the burglar he let escape murders his beloved Uncle Ben, teaching Peter the harsh lesson of, "With great power, comes great responsibility."
Since that fateful day, Peter has lived by that mantra. It's forced him to make difficult and dangerous choices. It also forces him to confront and overcome his fears on a regular basis. This Spring, Spidey will have to contend with not just his fears, but the fears of the entire city of New York. This is the premise behind writer Christ Yost and artist Mike McKone's event tie-in miniseries "Fear Itself: Spider-Man." We spoke with Yost about the project, which begins in May.
Marvel fans know Yost primarily from his work on X-books like "X-Force" which he co-wrote with Craig Kyle and the recent "Psylocke" miniseries, but the writer has penned two Spider-Man short stories. One appeared in 2005's"Spider-Man Unlimited" #9 and the other originally appearing online before being released in print in the one-shot anthology, "The Many Loves of the Amazing Spider-Man." "This is my first full on Spider-Man mini. The eight and 11 page stories I did before were a blast and Spider-Man is hands down my favorite character. I'd write one page stories about him if they asked me. If they had a one panel format, I'd be there," Yost told CBR News. "I've been able to tell some fun stories and I've been very happy about that, but Steve Wacker came to me with this and I dove right in.
"It's always fun to have Spider-Man in the big events, because he generally is the view point of the every man," Yost continued, explaining the mini's role in support of the larger "Fear Itself" storyline. "Peter Parker is one of us. He's got the same worries, concerns and fears that we do and he's coming face to face with all of these universe changing things. This event is especially great because Spider-Man is a very fear-based character. For all that great responsibility, the consequences of failing are so large in his mind. It's been interesting to tackle a Spidey fear story for those reasons. He's got a lot of fears."
Some of which are brand new ones associated with losing the things he recently acquired at the start of the "Big Time" era of "Amazing Spider-Man," which began last fall when Dan Slott became the sole writer of the series. Those things include his dream job at the scientific think tank Horizon Labs and his new girlfriend Carlie Cooper. "'Big Time' has been amazing. I've talked to Dan Slott a number of times and I've been reading the book and getting advanced copies, which is the best thing in the world. Seeing a change in Peter's life is a fantastic thing. He's got a new job, a different girlfriend, new costumes, new devices and new weapons. Plus, we're seeing him use his science skills," Yost said. "You get all of that wrapped in his new life as an Avenger. So it's been amazing, and we touch on a little bit of everything in my 'Fear Itself' tie-in. I got to play in Dan's playground for a little bit, and it was great."
The most recent "Amazing Spider-Man" arc, "Revenge of the Spider-Slayer," ended with the tragic death of J Jonah Jameson's wife Marla. Her death will haunt Peter Parker for the next several months, and when "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" begins Peter is still punishing himself for failing to save her.
"Death is looming large in Peter's mind as we enter this storyline. Pretty much every story I've ever loved ends up saying, 'Then everything got worse.' So this story is about Spider-Man trying to hold New York City together as 'Fear Itself' spreads across the Marvel Universe. This is a foe that you can't necessarily fight with fists. This is something that's affecting regular people even more so than super heroes," the writer told CBR. "This is Spider-Man, in the span of 72 hours, trying to hold it all together. He's in costume in every panel and every second, but his Peter Parker problems are at the forefront of every panel in this book.
As the title "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" suggests, out of control terror is the main antagonist in Yost's miniseries, but that doesn't mean the Web-Slinger will be lacking in villains to face off against as well. "Within the larger 'Fear' story, we've found plenty of opportunities for some fighting. You're going to see an old Spider-Man villain that is pertinent to the 'Fear' story. Plus, you're going to see some elements from the main 'Fear Itself' series come crashing down on Spider-Man's head," Yost stated. "I think, really, the focus is Spider-Man dealing with the city. There are four or five specific stories of normal people that we're telling over the course of the 72 hours. How do the fears of regular people end up impacting Spider-Man as he tries to survive this and tries to keep the city alive?"
That question is a big part of Yost's series, because as Yost stated," "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" will present the viewpoints of New Yorkers caught in the chaos of the latest Marvel event. "Apart from telling a great Spider-Man story, that was the most important thing for me; because Peter is the Marvel Universe's everyman and because 'Fear Itself' really plays up the present day zeitgeist," Yost said. "This is what the world is like right now. There are problems and people are scared. Things like the economy, terrorism and violence are real fears that are out there, and everything has been made worse by the events of 'Fear Itself.' So you're going to see how the people of the Marvel Universe are coping with that."
Rounding out the supporting cast of "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" are several members of Spidey's regular supporting cast. "Jonah has a pretty big role in it and the Daily Bugle staff is involved for sure," Yost told CBR. "Spider-Man's girlfriend, Carlie, is an important aspect. And of course Aunt May figures huge into this as well."
The tone of "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" is a carefully crafted mesh of genres with the most prevalent one being horror. "There are definitely some big horror elements in it. One of the major thoughts in the book is probably the most horrific thing I've ever written. You'll know when you see it," Yost stated. "In everything I do, there's always a little humor, too. The previous short stories I've done with Spider-Man were full-on comedies. This is a much more serious affair, but it's got everything: action, drama and a few laughs."
Bringing to life such a varied story is no easy feat, which is why Yost was happy to collaborate with artist Mike McKone, a veteran of the previous "Brand New Day" era of "Amazing Spider-Man." "I've seen the pencils and the inks for the full first issue and they're amazing," Yost said. "To me, Mike McKone is one of the great Spider-Man artists. He's really taken my script to the next level. Everything from layouts to the angles he chose just blew me away. I owe him beers."
"Fear Itself: Spider-Man" is Yost's first major foray into the street level corner of the Marvel Universe and the writer is having such a good time with the project that he'd love to revisit the area for future projects. "It's funny, because I generally don't think street level, but I have a great love for Spider-Man. This has been a very different story for me to tell. Usually I start with the premise of, 'Who does he fight?' Then I work backwards, but this one was kind of a different framework," Yost said. "This is more of a little personal drama. I approached it like it was an episode of '24.' You've got all these different stories going on and they kind of come crashing together with Spider-Man running around like Jack Bauer in the middle of everything -- but with less torture."

Wande Coal the kick ft don jazzy: Award-winning singer Wande Coal of Mavin Records has delighted fans by releasing a brand new single 'The Kick' on 23 January 2013. Wande Ojosipe, also known as Wande Coal, is known for his improvisational skill and unique dance moves. His inimitable vocal style and dexterity has endeared him to thousands of music lovers and fans nationwide and earned him critical and commercial success. He started gaining national attention after being featured on D'banj'sRundown/Funk You Upalbum on singles like"Loke,""Tonosibe" and "Why Me." Wande became a household name with his prominent vocals on the Mo'Hits All Star's compilation album Curriculum Vitae. His first single from the album 'Ololufe' was described as the greatest love song written by a Nigerian. Demand for a solo album grew and Wande duly obliged with 2008's hugely successful Mushin 2 MoHits. The album broke several records by racing to sell over 3 million copies with 3 singles that shot straight to Number 1 on the charts. In early May 2012, when Don Jazzy announced a new record label, Mavin Records, Wande Coal became part of the first wave of artists signed to the label including D'Prince, Dr SID and Tiwa Savage. His musical prowess was noticeable in the first singles released in the Solar Plexus album – D'Prince has three singles featured in the Solar Plexus album, which was released in May 2012, "Forever," "See me Ri," and "Pretty Girls." The new single "The Kick", produced by and featuring the award-winning ace producer Don Jazzy, is one of the songs in Wande Coal's forthcoming album, and takes off from the success of his other singles.

Doagh (/ˈdoʊx/ DOHKH; from Irish: Dumhach, meaning "mound")[1] is a village and townland in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is in the Six Mile Water Valley, about two miles south-west of Ballyclare, and had a population of 1,130 people in the 2001 Census. It is known as Doach in Scots.[2]
Traditional houses stand in the village centre but the village has gradually grown and new housing estates have been built on its outskirts.
The first Sunday school in Ireland was alleged to have been held in Doagh on the site where the Methodist Church now stands, although there is no firm evidence to support this claim. The Methodist church was established in 1844.
There are a number of buildings of architectural interest either in or proximate to the village.(Reference Brett, CEB, O'Connell, M. Buildings of County Antrim, Belfast. Ulster Architectural Heritage Society. 1996. ) These include Fisherwick Lodge - a hunting lodge built for the Marquess of Donegall (1805), and Holestone House. Industrial architecture is well represented in some of the remaining mill buildings - the best at nearby Cogry (Reference, McCutcheon, W, A., The Industrial Archaeology of Northern Ireland, Belfast, Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland, 1981).
There is evidence of settlement in the vicinity at least from the Iron Age, and possibly the Bronze Age - as represented by the Holestone (places of interest, below) and traces of numerous souterrains in the surrounding fields. This is a substantial base of a Norman motte - overlooking the six mile water - is clearly visible at Lindsay's corner on the outskirts of the village.
The cemetery at Kilbride (a townland bearing the name of St Brigid) contains the 19th century Stephenson Mausoleum - a listed building in the style of a mogul palace - and numerous gravestones reflecting a history of emigration and war. In this cemetery is the headstone of William Gault, the founder of the aforementioned Sunday school and a person associated with the Doagh Book Club and radical 18th century Protestantism. (The book club was destroyed by a detachment of Dragoons in the early 19th century).
Places of interest[edit]
On a hilltop about a mile from Doagh is a Bronze Age whinstone megalith known as The Holestone. Couples used to promise marriage by clasping hands through the hole in the stone, a convention that can be traced back to about 1830.[3] W.G. Wood-Martin in 1902 asserted that it was anciently "connected with aphrodisiac customs." Even today, newlyweds, together with the wedding party, will visit the stone in observance of the ancient local custom. Many new houses have been built in the last number of years, modernising the village.
A memorial to John Rowan stands in the middle of the village. Rowan, a linen spinner who invented a steam driven vehicle later claimed to be the first motorcar, was born in Doagh in 1787 and died in Belfast in 1858.
Doagh was formerly the terminus of a branch line of the narrow gauge Ballymena and Larne Railway. The line was extended from Ballyclare to Doagh in 1884. Passenger services between Doagh and Ballyclare were withdrawn in 1930, and freight services in 1933.

This can be done by tilting the cabinet back and setting the speaker in place. If the cabinet has bare wire leads, just wrap them around the solder lug connector on the back of the speaker to make the electrical connections. A friend can help hold the speaker in place while you listen to the new speaker. This is, of course, not an optimal way to listen to a speaker, but will give you the opportunity to identify major response problems or poor tonal characteristics prior to mounting.ContactContactPRODUCT SUPPORT Our highly regarded technical support team has hands-on product experience and technical electronics knowledge.

If you've noticed you can hear a pin drop in here lately it's because I've moved my blog to http://www.booksbyjason.com/wordpress. But don't fret, the old posts have been moved too! It's cleaner and a better set up, but it could use a little love. So check it out, sign up there (again, if you signed up here), and I promise to keep sharing my trials and tribulations on my quest to become one of those rare writers that doesn't need a day job.

Relocation Expenses
Regular Blog readers – and by that I mean the people who subscribe to this blog – I'm moving. Not physically (this time), but virtually. My blog has been transferred from here to http://www.booksbyjason.com/wordpress. It looks a tiny bit different but other than that it's the same stuff. I've hooked the new blog up to Facebook and Twitter and did a back up and restore of everything I could – heck, maybe you'll already get updates. I'm not super savvy on the blogging technology, I confess.
I still have to hook up the new blog to Goodreads, but hopefully I can resolve that today. In the meantime, this is the old blog signing off! Thanks for your interest and attention, I hope to keep it lively and fun on the new one (which is more or less the same, just at a different address).

Writing When What I Should Be Doing is Writing
I sat down with a little time to spare this morning and tried to figure out what I should be doing. Relax? Heck no! Spare time is time that should be filled with something productive, after all. My options were more studying for a certification I'm working towards or I could do some writing on my current work in progress, The Broken Path (book 3 in my Blades of Leander fantasy series). The Broken Path scares me a little though. In the three days since I officially started it I've thrown down over 15,000 words on it. For my non-writing readers, that's a considerable amount.
So rather than leaping into another feverish and obsessive writing spree I decided I should write about writing instead. Thus I'm here, tossing words on a screen for this blog. It's not a waste of time, provided I've entertained or educated someone out there, but it may also not be as productive as working on the story. But that's okay.
I've read some interviews or viewpoints from some writers that say writers shouldn't blog. They think they should spend time writing, not doing activities that takes away from that. Others, including myself, have argued that it can be creatively helpful to write up a blog post to get the juices flowing and make a transition into working on the next great story that much easier. Then there's some people that think blogging is essential to the success of a writer because it allows them to interact with readers and promote / market themselves.
Well I'm all for marketing and promotion. I suck at it, but that doesn't mean I'm not a firm believer that people can't buy what they don't know about. I have to take a page out of the book I'm reading right now (Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography) where he talks repeatedly about how his movies and his career was a success because of how much marketing he personally did for them. Internationally, no less. The man went as many places as he could to push his movies and convince distributors and theatres to show them, as well as working with the movie studios on the promotional campaigns for them. One example is Total Recall (the movie, not the book, and not the recent movie with Colin Farrell). The original trailers sucked for it and nobody was interested because it hadn't been promoted worth a darn. Arnold was upset about that and arranged to get the head of the studio to watch an advanced screening with him 3 weeks out from release date. The guy was blown away by the film and disgusted by what his people were doing to promote it. They brought in an outside firm and in those three weeks boosted the public interest so much that Total Recall was one of the highest selling blockbusters that year. Had it not been for that promotion it still would have been a good movie, but hardly anybody would have known about it.
So is promotion and marketing important? Hell yes. The vast majority of us don't have the budget to invest to achieve that kind of success though. Instead flukes like 50 Shades of Grey and Twilight somehow become viral through chance. Or maybe, like John Locke, they've got some hidden secret they figured out that was just right for the time when they hit it big, granting them the opportunity to skyrocket into the stars. Mr. Locke's secret isn't so secret anymore, he bought tons of reviews for his books when they came out, boosting them in the charts and convincing people that they were great books. To his credit, his books continue to sell and I don't hear about too many people that say his books are poorly written. Apparently the ends justifies the means in this case.
So will blogging help me reach that level? I doubt it. It's a fun thing to do and it helps me ramp up my productivity though. Maybe it helps other writers, readers, and random people from all walks of life too. What I can say is that I have had very few readers reach me via my blog. My feedback with readers almost always comes through email, and that's not an infrequent thing. I respond to them all and enjoy doing so – with some conversations taking place back and forth for a few days. But those readers always tell me about the books and the characters they enjoyed, they don't mention how my blog was a wonderful thing for them to find and enjoy.
Instead I'll keep on trying different things and doing what I can to build my brand. I've found that writing a large number of books definitely helps. Kind of like salmon fishing with six lines in the water at once instead of sitting on a dock with a fishing pole in my hand – the more opportunities there are for people to find me, the better my odds are. But that's still not much better than tossing darts while blindfolded. What I'm ultimately trying to find is a way to shine a light on my books and let people know where they are and that yes, they really are a great book.
To prove my point I just read a five star review this morning from someone about Bounty and my Wanted trilogy in general where they said, "I'm not recommending that you buy these books, I'm tell you that you must buy these books!" That's the kind of feedback I'm getting from people and that's why I believe that my books are worth reading.

The Rise of Darth Twitter
As long as there's been humans we've had our villains. Some are real and some are fictional. I'd like to nominate a new one to the list of loathsome evil overlords – Twitter.
Readers of my blog might know I've had a bit of a falling out with Twitter recently. A week and a half ago, to be precise. My account was suspended without explanation. I filed multiple attempts at lifting the suspension and last night, after 11 days had passed, I received an email for each one stating I had promised to be a good boy and that my suspension would be removed. YAY!
Except I still can't use Twitter. My account still says it's suspended.
For those curious (I've been contacted by a few people, the most recent being Andy Holloway), I was suspended for aggressive following practices. I didn't consider it the least bit aggressive, but to each their own. I have removed any and all attempts at automating my following or unfollowing practices and I told Twitter as much. But I'm still suspended.
So Twitter, to me, is like an evil sentient being. It reaches out and snares us in the delusions of grandeur and social media without borders. We can converse (or believe we're conversing) with the likes of Nathan Fillion, Wil Weaton, Michelle Obama, and other celebrities. Or better yet, we can have a fun and meaningful dialogue with less known people who are actually interested in us. Then, once we've basked in the glory of an increased social awareness Twitter can take it all away with a click of their finger.
And now it's even worse – they're teasing me. "Sure, we'll unsuspend you…just wait for it a little longer…" I wonder if those dirty rat bastards kick puppies on their way to work too.
For now I remain suspended. I hope to soon be available again, but alas, I just don't know. I figure I'll give them until tomorrow morning to make it right, and if it's not fixed by then? Why, I'll write them another sternly worded email and then go and sulk some more.

Triberr – Blog Reach Multiplier and how I use it
If you're reading this, the odds are good that you stumbled across it thanks to Triberr. Triberr allows people with similar interests to get together and use Twitter to retweet each others blog postings. I'm a member of a couple of great groups and that really helps to get exposure out there. My blog has grown to perhaps four or five times the following of what it was before Triberr in the span of a a few months.
It's not just that simple though. Each member of each Triberr group gets to choose whether they send out a tweet about a blog post or not. That, I find, is crucial. I'll be the first to admit I don't tweet about every blog that comes across my desk. More often than not I do, but that's because the people I work with have similar interests.
I'm not being a prick, at least not intentionally, I'm trying to protect my own credibility with my Twitter followers and I'm hoping to prove to them that I value them. I often have conversations with people on Twitter, in fact, and at times I'll scroll through the stream of tweets looking for something and someone new to talk to just because I want them to know I am interested and I do appreciate them. Thus I don't necessarily send out a tweet about somebody's blog on how to bake some gluten free blueberry muffins, but I will tweet on a blog about writing tips or a book review. I usually won't tweet about diet and exercise tips because I find them gimmicky. I've spent years developing my own nutritional plans and exercise routines that work great but I don't like people trying to make a buck off of such things. And then there's the free iPad offers – nope, you'll never get one of those outta me either. 🙂
So to my Triberr friends – if I don't tweet about your blog it's nothing personal, it's just me trying to maintain my credibility with my Twitter clan. I've attracted them because we share interests and while a few of them might be interested in learning how to use dental floss to detail hubcabs, the majority are not. I do weigh each blog individually though – who it comes from is irrelevant as far as my determination to tweet it out or not.
To my Twitter followers – well what I just said applies to you guys and girls as well. And yes, even the occasional Twitter-bot (who else is going to post an avatar wearing a skimpy bikini and offering free stuff ?).

The Sound of a Thousand Whispers
Wouldn't it be neat if people with similar interests had an organized means of helping each other out? Or maybe 'organized' isn't the right word, how about convenient? I've been tossing the idea around in my head for a few months now, wondering just what sort of administrative nightmare it would be to try and organize a group of people with similar interests or topics into helping one another out. The results, as always, were daunting.
Then today something happened that knocked my socks off. An opportunity fell into my lap that I viewed skeptically – after all, there's no free lunch in the world. With suspicion in mind I checked it out. "It" is called Tribberr.com.
The way it works is that people with similar interests join groups called Tribes. Not so impressive yet, but just wait. The Tribberr site receives the RSS feed from your blog and makes it available to everyone in your various groups. These people then have the ability to see the blog and comment on it or go to it, or more effectively to tweet about it and raise the awareness to others who you may have otherwise not have known existed. That means this post, when it goes out, has the opportunity to reach close to 100,000 people, considering the Tribes I've become a member of.
And the cost of the service? Free. You just need an invite from an existing member. It looks pretty slick, but I've only just started using it today. As with anything I suspect the usefulness of it will be directly proportional to how much work I put into it. The beauty of it is there's not much work that has to be done. Just logging in a couple of times a day to accept the otherwise automated tweets of people in my tribes.
So I say thank you to the people who created Tribber.com. You've saved me a ton of work and thought. Granted, you may have also prevented me from developing a product that would have made me a lot of money – but I'm okay with that. At least up until the point where you buy your first yacht, then I might get a little snarky.

Selling My Soul – Progress Report
I've been teasing and hinting that I'm doing all this research and I'm going to post the conclusions of that research. Well, I'm a long ways from that, but I can offer up some tidbits on what a few months of progress are showing. And most importantly (to you, the readers), this is free! I'm not offering all this up in a conveniently bundled package for $x.99 like certain individuals out there. Maybe I should and maybe this simple bit of humanitarianism is a marketing fail on my part. I'd rather think you'd be grateful for this and more inclined to believe that I really do want to help people succeed – both myself and you, dear reader. Heck, maybe you'll be so appreciative you'll even go out and buy one or more of my books. No pressure though… 😉
First on cover art: By improving my cover art images it's definitely getting good feedback from people anecdotally (kind words over Twitter and email and such). Is it driving sales? No, is it helping? Yes. Can I quantify it? Alas – no. I did take Wanted from a good to a better (in my opinion) cover and got several very positive comments on it though, including at least one sale because it "looked very interesting." Small sample of data, but I only made the transition last night.
Book Blurb: I've revised and fine tuned my book blurbs, improving them steadily all along. I may occasionally make a tweak here or there but by and large that's all there is to it. The results? Well there's no empirical data saying it helped n%, but there has been a steady increase over time.
Book Reviews: Yes, these are helping…I think. Nobody has contacted me to say they were on the fence about buying my book until they saw "RazorbabyX99" thought it was a great read, but knowing how I and a few others look at making a purchase in an online venue, reviews are worth their weight in gold. And like above, the positive trend reflects that these are a factor, I just wish I had more of them. I honestly believe more reviews would make a very strong difference. As it is I'm lucky to have two reviews on any given book on Amazon. I encourage – no, I implore people to please help out the writers they like (especially if it's me) and leave a few words or sentences about a book they liked. It's so immensely helpful.
Twitter: The powerhouse that is Twitter is both fun and useful. I've had a lot of success with Twitter helping me to increase sales. Both my tweets that go out aimed at promoting and other tweets that draw people in. Sure, maybe it's a a 1:500 ratio but that's still a sale. But even more importantly, I've met some really cool people and been touched by some of them as well (and not in a creepy way). For example, my wife has spent the week in the hospital for some severe abdominal pain that the docs had a hard time identifying. It looks like she'll be headed home very soon, hopefully today, and the problem was one that was complicated by a matter of timing and coincidence. A few mentions on Twitter about this brough in a flood of well wishes and support. It was very touching and very much appreciated. Sure, maybe there's no real investment when all your doing is typing in a few encouraging words but trying being on the other end, when you're not quite sure what's going on and you've got the creative machine that is a writer's mind working against you instead of for you. It's amazing how the power of anonymity and empathy combine to make me think that maybe humanity isn't destined to spiral into chaos.
Website: I've got one (http://www.booksbyjason.com) and I update it frequently. Either new samples, news postings, or design changes (major or minor). Come to think of it I need to revise some font sizes on my book pages for the links still. Well anyhow, having a website has been quite helpful. People like the free samples. My visitation is down recently because I haven't been pumping it out there very much. So, um, go visit it! 😉
The data: The following numbers are US numbers from Amazon only. I've got a great following in the UK that is increasing at a similar base and even if I can't speak for their loyalty to me, I've found myself becoming fiercely loyal to them for the support I've received. I've got a passport, I just need the time and more sales to finance a trip to go and visit!
Month Quantity Notes
June 20 No advertising worth mentioning, original covers / blurbs / website
July 14 Just beginning to attempt to advertise but "attempt" is the key word.
August 50 Started fumbling with Twitter effectively and blogging. Website enhancement
September 108 More of the same plus I blurbs and prof. cover art. Website changes too.
October 93 / 135 At 93 presently, trending towards 135. More and more of the same.
So the improvements aren't linear by any means, it's a result of working hard and the more I can put into it in terms of time and effort, the more I get out of it. Adding new books to the mix helps as well, of course! The numbers aren't outstanding by any stretch, but it's a positive trend and I'm here for the long haul. I stand zero chance of hitting 1 million ebooks in five months like John Locke did, but that's okay – I'm not the marketing guru he is either. Ironically I read his book and saw that he and I independently came to many of the same conclusions. In a few instances he's been able to implement them better though.
But speaking of marketing, I've got something new I'm trying in the very near future too. It's staying under wraps until it happens though, it's a surprise – but I promise it'll be a great one!
I started this marketing bit with the intent of using it as a tool. It was a means to an end. The end is a long ways away but that's okay because it's changed It went from being thought of as a necessary chore to something that has changed and improved me. The Twitter experience, where I interact with friends, has been inspirational, touching, exhilarating, and fun. There's occasional somber moments as well, such as when I learn of a friend who is on the verge of losing a cherished family pet. They're not just fans and readers, they're part of an extended family and I couldn't have the hopes, dreams, and ambitions that I do without them. If you're a writer I'd advise you take that to heart and remember we're only successful because of the people who make us that way.

Landlords should follow the cycle path
Good bike storage - the 'Pendleton effect' is future-proofing incomes for landlords in the private rented sector
The combination of the incessant mentions of the size of Generation Rent, the paltry rates of interest on deposit accounts and the pitiful performance of private pensions continues to make the lettings business seem a highly attractive proposition. People are no longer talking of buy-to-let, a term associated with dubious rental ventures promoted at expensive seminars in four-star hotels, but of investing in the PRS (private rented sector), which sounds fittingly serious and long-term.
Landlords are buying more homes and reporting rising rental returns, which range from 5.1 per cent to 6.1 per cent, according to ARLA, the lettings agents body. There is also what we could call the "Pendleton effect", the craze (likely to be lasting) for cycling inspired by the Olympic and Paralympic…

Anemones are great late-season bloomers in the perennial border. They produce 2- to 3-inch-diameter, single or double flowers on 2- to 4-foot-tall plants. The flowers come in a range of colors, from white to carmine red, and bloom from July until frost.
The Chicago Botanic Garden has been trialing various groups of perennial plants for more than 12 years. For the past 6 years they've tested 26 varieties of anemones to find the best ones for their USDA zone 5 climate.
The anemone varieties that performed best in their trial for length of bloom season, growth habit and health, and hardiness were Anemone hybrida 'Andre Atkinson', 'Max Vogel', and 'Serenade'. 'Andre Atkinson' is a 3-foot-tall plant with white flowers and a creamy yellow center. 'Max Vogel' and 'Serenade' both produce pink flowers with yellow centers. 'Max Vogel' grows about 4 feet tall, while 'Serenade' grows to 2 feet tall and has a strong, spreading habit as well.
Other anemone varieties that performed well include Anemone hupehensis 'Splenden' (2-foot-tall, rose-pink flowers) and Anemone japonica 'Prinz Heinrich' (2-foot-tall, double, pink flowers).

AS the latest Bridget Jones book, Mad About The Boy, shoots to the top of the Amazon pre-order charts, two weeks before it goes on sale, Vogue's November issue exclusively uncovers the woman behind the phenomenon. Helen Fielding, who conceived one of modern literature's best-loved heroines, is interviewed by Chloe Fox for the new issue, which hits newsstands from Monday October 7.
Fielding's highly anticipated new novel has attracted a mixed reception since the weekend, when The Sunday Times revealed that Bridget's handsome husband, Mark Darcy, has been killed off - although the omission doesn't seem to have deterred sales or interest. Many took to Twitter to voice their grievances over the new plot twist - with one fan complaining, "Saw the news about the Bridget jones sequel, it comes out on my birthday and Mark Darcy is DEAD!!!! Awful news #birthdayruined", while another lamented, "What?? No!"
In the latest book - out on October 10 - Jones is no longer a 30-something looking forward to a happy future with handsome barrister Mark Darcy, but is a 51-year-old widow with two young children, obsessing over a new toy boy called Roxster. The toxically charming Daniel Cleaver still plays a role as the perhaps unlikely godfather to one of her children.
Read Vogue's interview with Fielding in the November issue, available from Monday October 7.

The Traps Related to Payday Loans and Title LoansWhile payday loans are advertised as a quick fix for a financial emergency, the reality is that most people who take out a payday loans will have a very difficult time paying that first loan back when it comes due two weeks later. Most borrowers end up renewing that first loan multiple times, and incurring costly fees to do so. Vehicle title loans also risk the borrower losing their only means of transportation.
Don't let an inconvenience turn into a horror story. At Gems N' Loans in Escondido, we offer low interest collateral loans. This type of loan can easily be paid off in time and the collateral retrieved easily. Pawn shops are famous for accepting heirloom and unwanted jewelry as a sale or to be loaned for fast cash.
