Motherhood: For the Love of Pete & Dysentery
Yep. Su-perrr.
I gave up my fastidious nature that some might call OCD with triumph. I gave over the responsibility of the kids' bathroom to them. I was teaching them independence.
No enabler here. Responsibility was a life lesson--I read it in all the parenting mags so it must be so.
It became their full responsibility a few months back. It seemed to be going well.
So well, for the love of Pete, I ceased spot checking.
This. Was. A. Mistake.
My first clue was the amount of toilet paper being consumed in the downstairs bathroom.
Puzzled, I wondered had they forgotten they had a more convenient commode upstairs? Yet I didn't catch on that, perhaps, all was not well on the home front.
Nope, no one ever called me quick in picking up on my parenting mistakes.
Yep, parenting mistakes--I has 'em. We all do.
So along comes spring break and I happen to smell an odor. We will call it eau d'honey bucket. A je ne sais quoi odoriferous experience...oh just along the lines of visiting the freaking gorillas at the zoo.
Ever the vigilante, su-peeeer mom, I rallied. I investigated and found the most horrific site ever beholden in the land of plumbed bathrooms.
It seems several WEEKS BACK --YES, WEEKS I SAY WITH ALL THE HYSTERIA CAPS CAN IMPART-- one of the kids plugged the toilet yet again. My husband usually takes care of it. Apparently, he was tired of the plugs and no one telling him immediately. So he, IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM, let it stay plugged until someone fessed up.
Suffice it to say, our adorable mad shitter did not fess up. In the meantime, a certain younger child continued to use those facilities. Use them he did, until our suburban commode was turned into all the archaeological layers of a pitt toilet.
Apparently, the demise of a working order throne, encouraged my young denizens to stop all cleaning. I turned around and screamed again. There was mold growing in the shower. We live in Seattle people. It's moist here. Vigilance is key to fighting back--back I say--the flora and fucking fauna of our emerald isle. Black mold had invaded their shower.
Every crevice. crack. and tile. Even the shower head was moldy, streaming down unspeakable fungus on their wee noggins.
I screamed. I admit, I freaked. I instructed the kids in a very terse, tight, and barely controlled voice how to unplug the toilet. I then supervised them cleaning ever single freaking inch of that bathroom.
Every. single. inch. Yes, I channeled my basic training drill sergeants. They were my chain gang and I was their warden with a shotgun...errr....bottle of su.perrr bleach.
THREE hours with three cranky scullery maids later, every baseboard, sink, crevice, crack, and mirror sparkled. Every blasted drawer and under cabinet space was emptied. Every shampoo bottle and toothpaste tube disinfected.
My friends? I think they realized the errors of their ways. My teenager and two preteens have realized their mom was once enlisted. Drill Mommy had them on their hands and knees cleaning the spills around the commode. Comet was their weapon. On their hands and knees they would love, until every germ was obliterated.
...And that, my friends, is how I saved my kidlets from dysentery and learned never to trust teens with personal cleanliness again.
Thank you. I humbly take my bow.

I note that videos from Pacific Coasts are up on ice network. Not yet for Easterns or Mids.
Doing the happy dance! (:^D
Still, I know only 4 couples competed (to put it into perspective), but any win is a good win imho. And I was so happy to learn that they won by a substantial margin ~ they clobbered the field by over 21 pts.!
Also, CONGRATS go out to Emily Samuelson & Todd Gilles, though I have to say I have a bad omen that neither Emily nor Evan (Bates that is) will ever attain the heights of greatness that they had with each other. The dissolution of their partnership is still heartbreaking. My impossible wish is that they re-think & re-team, as they could've easily been America's #2 team this year, and made top 6 at Worlds. But without each other I never see them getting a World Medal, let alone an Olympic Medal, just top 5 at US Nationals. What a waste. All those 10+ years together, poof, gone. They were perfectly matched, complemented each other exquisitely. There's a reason those that have been together for as long as they had get to the top (aka V&M and D&W, also the great Anissina & Peizerat).
Finally, I'm really really really EXCITED about Max Aaron!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I watched him several weeks ago on IN to see what the hype was about, and that's when I saw his phenomenal skating, lol he was even wearing clothing similar to Evgeni Plushenko's and skating to his music while he landed all those impossible jumps & jump combos., ones I had only seen Zhenya doing before in the past! (8^O And now he once again clobbers the field by over 31 pts.! That's incredible, I even read one poster say that with those kind of skates he can easily win Nationals this year! WOW.
ps: IN still doesn't have any video up but Pacifics, and then only Jrs., et al, NOT seniors, and that's all I'm interested in.
I can only wish to have such fantastic spread eagles. Right now we are working on my adult silver moves and spins.Is he teaching you those spread eagles?
I've compiled the names and total scores of all the Nationals qualifiers (Senior/Junior/Novice) and included links to results/detailed protocols and video pages: http://unseenskaters.wordpress.com/2...-are-underway/

IN now has video up for not only Pacific Coast Sectionals, but also Eastern Sectionals as well, HOWEVER not Seniors.
Also, nothing for Midwestern Sectionals.
ps: I read over on FSU that Donlan & Speroff landed all their elements in the SP (aka great split triple twist per usual for them, lift, and throw triple all clean; no sbs jumps, though they did clean sbs 3Ts in practice). And they only fell on the throw 3R in their LP, everything else clean, including lifts, split triple twist, and throw 3S, and she might have singled her axel in their sbs 3T/2A combo. Btw, once again they had a clean practice, including their sbs 3T/2A combos.). Now they only need to land them in competition (crossing my fingers they do so)! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS ON IN!
Pacific Coast sectionals now have at least Sr. Mens and Ladies short videos at IN. Caroline did a wonderful short, as did Keegan.
Keegan had one little stumble ........ in his opening pose.
Though IN still doesn't have video up of Donlan & Speroff, I found their Eastern Sectionals SP & LP on youtube ~ ENJOY!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B-0A-8R6cI (SP)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tNs4_68wuA (LP)
I honestly almost cried after watching their SP, it's that good, I can't recall being this emotionally involved with a pairs' program since G&G.
Yes, I've had other faves over the years, but they moved me in a different way. For instance, Sarah Abitbol & Stephane Bernadis of France, their programs were more spirited, fighting, exciting, et al, whereas Donlan & Speroff's style is more like G&G, yet they're not clones, rather they are their own distinctive selves, if that makes sense.
Anyhow, I cannot get over their musicality, the way they move to the music, they make everything look so easy. And their starlift is the best I've seen since G&G, as well as their HUGE split triple twist, and throw triples. Their stretch, turnout (especially his), beautiful low death spiral, et al, are simply exquisite.
And the sbs double jumps they do are excellent, but Gretchen still needs to master the 2A in competition, as I noted she singled it in the LP, whereas Andrew's is big & huge with just a minor stepout. Also, their sbs 3Ts are MIA. These sbs jumps are really their nemesis, moreso for Gretchen then Andrew. If they can just nail this aspect I'm sure they would finish in the Top 5, if not Top 3. *crossing fingers*
Also, before I forget, I wanted to mention their speed, which I found has improved leaps & bounds, much much faster than before. Jmho.
Finally, I can't believe at one point (briefly mind you) I wanted Gretchen to pair with Rockne Brubaker. *smacks self on head* Now I see how odd that would look. Andrew is perfect for Gretchen ~ same elegant classic style, perfect height difference, everything just exquisite, and to top it off he looks like Brad Pitt and she like Ekaterina Goordeeva.

It was the last full day of the trip, and it was absolutely beautiful. After leaving very early in the morning we headed for Snaefellness Peninsula, northwest of Reykjavik. Our stops included a boat trip in the sparkling harbor of Stykkisholmur; a drive around the Snaefells Glacier, where Jules Verne imagined starting his voyage to the center of the Earth; a visit with a family dedicated to preparing shark meat that is essentially cured in the open air (and didn't taste as bad as it sounds, although the ammonia did come through once in a while); a walk on a black sand beach within extraordinary lava flows; welcoming small fishermen to port and watching as they processed their daily catch; and taking a walk along spectacular cliffs full of nesting birds, which was somewhat nerve-wracking for some of us.
Twelve hours after departing, we were a hungry crowd descending on a small, isolated hotel by a river that caters to wild salmon fishermen during the summer. It was dusk; everybody was tired, yet awed by the sights we had seen.
But the students wanted more. "We don't want to leave Iceland without seeing the northern lights," they said. That is one spectacle we could not control. But as we walked back out into the darkness, there it was: the Aurora Borealis, at least a faint one. And 30 minutes later, the real show began. A cooperative—and extraordinarily good—bus driver pulled off the road so that 60 excited people could go out into the darkness to see the skies dance. The lights changed hues, appearing and disappearing in the starry night. At one point I looked and there were all the students in a circle, most standing, some lying down, all hypnotized by the overpowering sky that graciously answered their prayers.
Yes, the Icelandic gods were alive and well and provided a most fitting end to the adventures of our tribe. It was magical!

KOMO TV- Cars, people sent tumbling into Skagit River as I-5 bridge collapses
From KOMOTV.com-
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. -- The Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River collapsed Thursday evening, dropping two vehicles into the water and injuring three people.
Both the northbound and southbound portions of the bridge collapsed into the river sometime before 7 p.m., according to Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis.
Xavier Grospe, 62, who lives near the river, said he could see three cars with what appeared to be one person per vehicle. The vehicles were sitting still in the water, partially submerged and partly above the waterline, and the apparent drivers were sitting either on top of the vehicles or on the edge of open windows.
Rescue crews in several boats were able to pull all three people from the semi-submerged vehicles, which were tangled in the wreckage of the bridge.
All three were taken taken to a local hospital and the extent of their injuries is not known. Nobody was killed in the collapse.
Washington Department of Transportation bridge inspectors are now trying to determine what caused the collapse.
Francis said troopers have located a commercial motor vehicle believed to have hit several girders on the bridge just prior to the collapse. The driver is cooperating with investigators.
As the rescue unfolded, crowds of people lined the river to watch the scene unfold.
"It's not something you see every day," said Jimmy O'Connor, the owner of two local pizza restaurants who was driving on another bridge parallel to the one that collapsed. "People were starting to crawl out of their cars."
Bart Treece with WDOT was unsure when the bridge was last inspected.
"All of our bridges in the area are pretty old," he said.
The bridge is not considered structurally deficient but is listed as being "functionally obsolete" - a category meaning that their design is outdated, such as having narrow shoulders are low clearance underneath, according to a database compiled by the Federal Highway Administration.
The bridge was built in 1955 and has a sufficiency rating of 57.4 out of 100, according to federal records. That is well below the statewide average rating of 80, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data, but 759 bridges in the state have a lower sufficiency score.
According to a 2012 Skagit County Public Works Department, 42 of the county's 108 bridges that are 50 years or older. The document says eight of the bridges are more than 70 years old and two are over 80.
Washington state was given a C in the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2013 infrastructure report card and a C- when it came to the state's bridges. The group said more than a quarter of Washington's 7,840 bridges are considered structurally deficient of functionally obsolete.
WSDOT's Travis Phelps said his department is already speaking with contractors to rebuild the bridge, but he cautioned that the bridge will be out of commission for the foreseeable future.
"This is going to be a long-term situation, so don't expect this to be fixed by Monday," he said.
Officials from Seattle City Light say the Army Corps of Engineers has not asked them to reduce water discharge from SCL's Skagit Dam.
Southbound traffic is being routed off at State Route 20, while northbound traffic is being routed off East College Way, according to WSDOT.

Dallas TD to bring them within 3
Couple of completions to witten got it all going.

The True King: Video Insights for Christmas
In the first century King Herod had the third largest palace in the world. It was a massive structure, with fortified walls, a company of soldiers, and towers reaching one hundred feet in the air. If that wasnt enough, Herod also had the almost impenetrable fortress of Masada, and numerous other strongholds across Israel.
Determined to preserve his reign and bring about his vision for Israel, Herod undertook some of the largest construction projects in Israels history. The ruins of those sites last to this day.
From Bethlehem Mary and Joseph would have been able to see Herodium, the hill upon which Herods massive palace was built. His power was obvious everywhere and the promised king Jesus was a helpless baby.
Consider the faith it took then to say, like Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, and the Magi, that Jesus was the true king and not Herod; even with evidence of Herods might right outside the window.
Yet long ago God had promised Israel a king, and that Edom (the nation Herod descended from) would one day serve Jacob. And in the Christmas story we read the story of that coming King who would grow up to redeem the world on a Roman cross.

"This is absolutely gorgeous and sleek !! I have pretty wide feet and often cannot wear heels with a narrow front because my toes look like they're squished together, but this d'orsay pump accommodates very well. Maybe it's because I'm very used to wearing heels, but I find this pair of heels to be quite comfortable. I'm ecstatic about this buy. This Bottega pump is definitely a keeper.

Simply beautiful
"I love these shoes. Got them in cream color. At first I had hard time walking in them and they felt pretty tight. It could be because I took a break from high heels for several years. After walking in them around the house they loosened up and got so comfortable. The style d'Orsay Pump is fantastic. I feel like a star wearing them. I am very glad I could get Bottega Veneta my size and favorite style for such a dirt cheap price. Thank you, DSW!"

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
U.S. Newswire July 25, 2001 Wednesday
WASHINGTON, DC – The innovative partnership that the Chula Vista Police Department, California developed with their community is highlighted in a new Justice Department publication on community policing. The partnership was developed to engage the Chula Vista community to fight residential burglary. Police – community partnerships are a core component of community policing.
A new report entitled, "Problem-Solving Partnerships: Including the Community for a Change," was recently released by the Justice Department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. In this publication, seven police agencies – including Chula Vista Police Department – were selected from more than 400 agencies across the country. The Justice Department report identifies this successful partnership as a model for other police departments across the nation.
Chula Vista police worked with hundreds of residents and performed an exhaustive analysis of more than 1,000 residential burglary reports. After analyzing over 1000 reports and conducting 250 surveys of victims, the department determined that burglarized homes had fewer deterrents such as window locks and dead bolts. This work resulted in the development of a Letter of Agreement between the Police Department and the main housing development companies in the area to ensure that new housing met forced entry standards.
Promising law enforcement practices of the top seven model cities are posted on the COPS home page at www.cops.usdoj.gov. For more information, please call the COPS office at 202-616-1728.

Overall, we could have a bright year, if we're willing to be cautious where some have been greedy, writes MoneyShow's Howard R. Gold, also of The Independent Agenda.
It's that time again when pundits and guru wannabes of all stripes say how they think 2013 will turn out for the economy and markets. Here are my four best predictions, along with one big wild card.
1. The US economy will continue to grow, albeit slowly, in
Now that we've avoided the fiscal cliff by permanently preserving the Bush tax cuts for 98% of the American people, I believe a Washington, DC-induced US recession is unlikely.
The expiration of the payroll tax holiday and the $100 billion in automatic spending cuts from the notorious "sequester," along with any additional changes in the tax code to raise revenue, might knock as much as 1.5% off GDP this year. With economists looking for 2.3% growth in 2013, that could mean GDP rises less than 1%, especially early in the year.
But Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's aggressive bond-buying program will keep interest rates at rock-bottom lows and support the continuing recovery in housing, which I think is real. It will also help offset the lingering effects of the various fiscal hurdles we'll have to scale this year.
As 2013 advances, business's uncertainty will ease somewhat, which will help the economy and market do better later in the year (see below).
- Read how Howard's predictions for 2012 turned out on MoneyShow.com.
2. The worst of the Eurozone's debt crisis is over.
Yes, Greece is a mess, and Spain and Italy are deep in the doldrums, cursed by high unemployment and economic and political stagnation, respectively. And the Eurozone is in a mild double-dip recession.
But European Central Bank president Mario Draghi has vowed to do "whatever it takes" to save the euro by preventing major countries from defaulting on their debt, and he announced an asset-purchase plan backed up by the ECB's $3-trillion-plus balance sheet.
Not that there won't be flare-ups from time to time, but I think Europe is more likely to take markets down by, say, the 8% by which they fell in 2012 than the 16% and 20% they tumbled in 2010 and 2011.
And once we get past the German election this fall, Chancellor Angela Merkel will have more leeway to consider broader solutions rather than stalling and kicking the can down the road. (Sound familiar?)
- Read Howard's political predictions for 2013, including one about Hillary Clinton's future, at The Independent Agenda.
3. US stocks will rise, but not as much as in 2012.
The S&P 500 index gained 16% with dividends reinvested last year, while the Russell 2000 and MidCap indexes and the Dow Jones US Total Stock Market index did roughly the same.
I don't expect a repeat this year, for a couple of reasons. First, the continuing fiscal debate in Washington, which now shifts to spending cuts and the debt limit, has been a downer in the past. Once we get into the thick of it again, traders won't be throwing confetti on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Ken Evoy has made a surprising, major change to the way SiteSell tracks affiliate cookies.
Now the FIRST AFFILIATE gets the commission, in many cases.
I think it's a bad decision for affiliates.
I'll explain why.
But first, on a happier note, here's a really good gift…
Affiliate training free trial
I love being able to give you stuff this good.
This is only for readers of the Associate Programs Newsletter…
Dan Ho, a super affiliate from way back, has been running an affiliate training service, AffiliateArticleWriters, for several years. He teaches affiliates a specialized type of affiliate marketing and has good success stories.
Dan's students promote affiliate products that pay lifetime commissions – so you earn recurring commissions, month after month.
Here's the offer…
For NOTHING, you get to see inside and try Dan's affiliate training service.
This is your only chance. You'll never see this offer again in this newsletter.
Here's another reason why you need to act now.
Because he runs AffiliateArticleWriters, Dan is in a special position. Sometimes he can introduce you to brand new opportunities you haven't seen before.
For instance, right now there's a big new product/market opportunity in the digestive health market, an industry that exceeds $1 billion a year. Dan's students get all the details and will be trained how to promote it successfully.
So be quick to check this out…
Dan's giving a really generous, extra bonus to the first 25 people.
SiteSell's strange decision on affiliate cookies
I feel I have to say something about SiteSell's policy change because Ken's affiliate program has been my top earner for about 10 years.
I'll explain why I think it's a bad decision.
Remember what it was like when you first joined an affiliate program? If you're like me, you assumed that all you had to do was send visitors to the merchant and you'd make sales.
I recall, back in 1997 I think it was, emailing an affiliate merchant and saying, "I've sent you 103 visitors. Why haven't I made a sale?"
Gradually we learn that "not all traffic is equal", some affiliates have much higher conversion rates than others, we have to gain the trust of our visitors, enthusiasm sells… and so on.
It takes us a while, but we grow to understand that potential buyers often teeter on the edge, ever so close to making a decision to buy – and then don't because of a niggling doubt.
So we spruce up our websites and work harder. We write product reviews and case studies. We publish first-person testimonials based on our own experience with the product. We discover that it's much easier to make a sale from our newsletter than from a website, because our readers have learned to like our recommendations.
We learn how powerful keyword research can be, not just for targeted traffic and PPC marketing, but also to help us contact potential customers late in the buying cycle, when they're not merely seeking information but are on the verge of buying. We learn it's useful to target keywords like "Product XYZ review" and "buy Product XYZ".
In short, we study, we learn, we become more professional and we make more sales.
That's how affiliate marketing works.
Ken is turning that logic on its head.
He's rewarding affiliates who don't know how to achieve a sale.
How should affiliate merchants decide who deserves the commission?
You can come up with many different scenarios. Here's a good one…
A potential customer is considering buying Product XYZ. He visits various affiliate sites, reads articles and clicks on links. He visits the Product XYZ merchant site but doesn't buy.
Some time later, he lands on the site of a professional affiliate who has written an enthusiastic, detailed review or case study. Suitably warmed up and now enthusiastic, he is in a "ready to buy" frame of mind when he lands on the merchant's site. He buys the product.
In this scenario…
No cookie system is perfect. No cookie system is fair for every case you can imagine. So affiliate merchants are forced to choose the system they think is best for most affiliates.
About 99.9% of affiliate merchants have voted by choosing "last affiliate gets the commission". In just about every affiliate program you see, that's how the system works.
It's not perfect for all cases, but it's the best answer, merchants have decided.
The last affiliate did the work that turned a potential customer into a buyer. He or she deserves the sale.
But Ken is doing the opposite.
In many cases, he's now rewarding the FIRST affiliate to get the click.
He says most people take a long time to research and consider before buying SBI. The median time to sale, from first-exposure to SBI purchase, is 9 months. Some convert in days, some take much longer.
Now in Ken's program, the first affiliate's cookie is fixed for 9 months. (After 9 months, the cookie can be overwritten by another affiliate, and then the cookie belongs to the second affiliate for 9 months, and so on.)
If the potential customer buys any time within those first 9 months, the first affiliate to get a click gets the sale.
This means that the experienced affiliate, who has invested considerable time and money into affiliate marketing, gets nothing.
Ken argues that his affiliate program is unlike others. It's composed of two groups – Internet marketers who promote Internet marketing products, and regular folk, SBI owners who promote SBI in a small, casual way on a site which is likely to be about a totally different topic.
Some SBI owners are upset. They imagine "their" potential sales being nabbed by Internet marketers just before the purchase is made. Ken argues that the situation had become lopsided and he's evening things out.
But what exactly has the first affiliate done to deserve a commission?
In Ken's eyes, the first affiliate has "introduced" the potential customer, which is very important, because like any business, SiteSell wants to keep getting more new customers.
However, to the vast majority of affiliate vendors, a mere "introduction" doesn't deserve a commission. It's the persuasive, enthusiastic affiliate – the closer – who encourages someone to buy who deserves the introduction.[NEXT DAY UPDATE: I should have worded that last sentence better. As we all know, it's the merchant who is the "closer". The professional affiliate makes the closing of the sale easier by warming up the visitor into a ready-to-buy frame of mind.]
If what Ken is doing doesn't seem to make sense, why is he doing it?
To answer that question, you have to ask: Who benefits?
It seems to me that what is happening here is that after 12 years of building SiteSell and SBI by putting his AFFILIATES first – and going to extraordinary lengths to train them, encourage them, provide tools for them and reward them – Ken has switched and is now putting his 40,000 CUSTOMERS first.
That's right. It is SBI owners who are big winners here.
About half of them become SiteSell affiliates. Their main focus is on their SBI sites about candlemaking or forex or vacations in Tuscany or whatever. But they also put "Powered by SBI" affiliate links on their sites, and write "About Us" pages that do a soft sell for SBI.
Then they're disgruntled because usually those techniques don't achieve many sales.
The reason these SBI owners/affiliates don't make many SBI sales is that the people visiting their SBI sites are thinking about candlemaking or forex or taking a vacation, or whatever the topic of the site is. They may be nicely targeted visitors, but they're NOT targeted to buying SBI. However, most people like the idea of owning their own business, so some are tempted to click on an affiliate link and start thinking about buying SBI.
In Ken's world, if that casual introduction results in a sale, it now deserves the commission.
This is a big win for Ken's 40,000 CUSTOMERS – the SBI owners. In exchange for a little one-off work writing "About Us" pages that presell SBI, they're now more likely to achieve sales of SBI because they're introducing it to people who wouldn't otherwise have known about it. These SBI owners may earn enough to pay for their annual subscriptions – or more – making them even happier with their purchase of SBI.
Result: A win-win for Ken and SBI owners.
But if there are winners, there inevitably will be losers. The losers will be the professional affiliates who have been targeting potential buyers when they're almost ready to buy.
They will now have to make sure they're targeting people early in the sales cycle.
If you want to be a winner in the SiteSell affiliate program you need to think about who the winners will be.
- SBI owners/affiliates who make first contact with potential customers.
- All affiliates who keep finding brand new potential SBI customers. This is the key. Ken is rewarding affiliates who find new customers. Perhaps you need to create some new pages aimed at people who want to build an online business and work from home. It's a growing niche but it's terribly competitive. If you're already an expert in it, lucky you.
- Persuasive, professional affiliates who achieve sales fast. If they find a brand new potential customer and make a sale immediately, the whole cookie thing won't make any difference to them.
- Affiliates who make repeat contact with potential customers. From the first click, every time an affiliate persuades a potential customer to click on a link, the 9-month cookie is renewed for another 9 months. So you need to promote SBI in different ways. Find new reasons – new angles – to mention different aspects of the product. Send visitors to different landing pages. Persuade your audience to follow you on Twitter, like you on Facebook and read your newsletter. Each exposure pushes the 9 month deadline back again.
- Affiliates who sign up new affiliates. When you encourage another affiliate to join the affiliate program, that affiliate is "locked in", yours for life. If the affiliate buys an annual subscription of SBI next month or in 10 years, you earn a $75 commission.
In summary, I think this change is a bad one because it inevitably rewards affiliates who aren't good at achieving sales. It rewards casual mentions and in some cases won't reward professional, powerful pre-selling. Inevitably, while some affiliates win, others will miss out on commissions they would have earned.
I wouldn't be surprised if this change in policy also encourages unethical affiliates to use inaccurate hype just to get the click. If so, more policing of affiliates will be needed.
I'm guessing here – only Ken knows the figures – many affiliates will be OK. For them, everything will even out. Some affiliates will do better, some will do worse.
We're adaptable. We can cope with this.
What we need to do is study who the winners are and make sure we're among them.
In my case, I've been attracting some potential customers late in the buying cycle but I've also been sending first-time visitors to SiteSell. I should be OK, I THINK. We'll see.
SBI is still a superb product. It keeps getting better year after year. So I'll keep promoting it and see what happens.
If you're an SBI owner and you haven't joined the affiliate program because you thought SBI was off-topic for your site, you may want to re-think that decision. Ken has just made it much easier for you to earn commissions.
If you're a SiteSell affiliate, DON'T ignore this. Don't treat the SiteSell affiliate program as though it's any other program. It's unique. So you have to adapt what you do accordingly.
Some SBI owners/affiliates are understandably excited by this change. They're excited about the extra sales they see themselves making.
But if there are winners, there HAVE to be losers.
It WON'T all even out in every case.
Ken is pushing you to keep finding new potential customers, and to have repeat contact with the people you find. If you do these things, your commissions should increase.
(That's good advice for ANY affiliate program.)
So login in to the affiliate program, study Ken's whole announcement and his affiliate tips, examine what you're doing and, if necessary, change it so that you're among the winners.
SiteSell still offers a superb product that has changed many thousands of lives for the better, and the company's strong customer loyalty has just become a whole lot stronger.
He's built a multi-million-dollar business by doing things differently.
That's one thing that hasn't changed.
If all this is totally new to you, you can find out more here…
What do think about SiteSell's decision?
I'm keen to know what you think about Ken's policy change on affiliate cookies.
Do you agree with me, or have I got it horribly wrong?

text: Hey ladies! We co-sleep with our 15 month daughter and LOVE it! Well, she is at the age where she is very active and tries crawling and walking on the bed. I am so scared she is going to fall off in the middle of the night. Well, I talked with my husband and we brought a mattress into our room (our room is quite large) and I was going to sleep with her on it at night and naps. Well, the other night I felt something crawling on me! I turned on the light and found a 3-4 inch centipede on the mattress!!!!!! I know it might sound stupid, but I am SO scared of creepy-crawlies (centipedes, and SPIDERS! IIIICKKK!) Now I am terrified to have this happen again but want my daughter to be safe at the same time! Ahhh, what do I do? Any suggestions?

I once read an article on Aztec poetry, which is very repetitive, like reggae. It talked about the poetry as being an art of panic, like a way of painting out space, empty space … Getting rid of emptiness, making everything full-up; in other words, a compulsive desire to make life full-up because you know that you're not going to be here always.

The longest laces ever!
"I ordered these booties in brown on-line in a 1/2 size bigger than my normal size because that was all that was available. I was thrilled that they fit. They are perfect with pants, jeans, and skirts. Not only do they fit, but they are actually comfortable for such a high heel, but what were the manufacturers thinking when they designed the laces?! They are soooo long. I, seriously, don't know what to do about it except try to find shorter laces that will go with them. Either that or my 6-year old and I can both have double-knotted laces."

"Great looking HIGH heel shoes, and comfortable! I purchased this shoe as a replacement for a pair I absolutely loved and did not want to give up. The first day out I wore them for 10 hours without any problems and then I wore them again two days later! They look great with pants and dresses. I get complements every time I wear them."

"I purchased these shoes to wear this winter as an alternative to boots. They are so cute and can be worn with dresses, skirts, and pants. I received many compliments on how cute and retro the shoes are. Surprisingly they are pretty comfortable. My only issue is that the shoe strings are long, so you need to style them as in the picture or make a cute double knot. They are true to size."

: Sam,
: Not sure what "across" from the sink means as it relates to your construction / layout. But, assuming that you have cabinets between the sink and the refrig, you can run the line under or through the base cabinets. Another choice may be to go up from the sink into the ceiling and come down in the wall behind the refrig. Hope the ideas help.

The book also outlines the extensive research into the subject - studies that cut against the grain of traditional business thinking - including compelling data from the Great Place to Work Institute's one-million-person database, which reveals that "Great" companies consistently earn significantly higher marks for "fun".
©2008 Adrian Gostick and Scott Christopher Claflin; (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Note to all managers: Have fun at work"
I was a little disappointmented with this management book. The first 4 or so hours of this book was mostly the authors saying "have fun" with a little bits of companies that implement programs for loosen up their staff.
I can definitely appreciate the things Gostick and Christopher brought to the table in this book. They have worked with lots of relavent and current companies that are known for both their success and their relaxed business environment. But they spent a large portion of the book talking about companies in creative fields, such as advertising and marketing.
In the last hour, the book finally moved into lots of ways to implement levity. The ideas were listed out which makes for tough listening. And the listening of the book was also made more difficult by the straight reading of the book. While I am sure the book was humorous, the narrator (one of the authors) read the words and did not "customize" it as an audio book. It made listening to some sections seem out of place in a book about humor - they should have lossened it up.
I just thought they weren't practicing what they preached.
"A Humor Home Run"
This book is smart, fun, and funny--in that order. I found a lot to gain from the combination of well-researched data and practical ideas that the authors presented on lightening up the world of work. And having Scott Christopher narrate the book made this an almost must-HEAR version. I haven't tried reading it, but Christopher infuses so much fun in the narration that I now don't dare "try this at home" with a mere printed book.
The essential message is that not only is levity possible in the workplace, it ought to be mandatory. And there are innumerable ways to find and customize fun at work. The benefits start personal (lower stress, a more interesting life) and move to organizational (higher motivation and productivity). Where the authors stop is how levity could help us as a society. But once our levity fires are ignited, we can take it from there.
This is a unique and much-needed addition to the business book literature.
Factor Jota
"Good but repetitive"
The book goes on and on about how having fun at work has all kinds of benefits. It even list some 120 or so suggestions.
If you already agree that you should have fun at work or you're a manager who tries to keep things light, there's not much value to this book b/c it says what you already agree with.
If you're a bit skeptical about the value of fun at work, then yeah, you should listen to this.
The narrator (and one of the authors) is very funny at times. Great job with the narration.

Pretty and comfy, but not adjustable
"I love the look of this shoe - perfect for dressing up or down. It has a very nice, comfy footbed with some arch support, and stays on my foot pretty well. My only complaint is that the wide band that goes over the arch is not actually adjustable, nor is it stretchy, so it's a little too small for my high arches and my foot won't slide in QUITE all the way. I had to go up half a size because of that. If you have average arches, this shoe will probably be perfect for you!"

It's disappointing and sad that Congressman Matheson has joined up with the House of Representative's most extreme environmentalist, George Miller of California, to introduce this bill this week which will do very little, if anything, for mine safety, but could easily shut down mines unnecessarily throughout Utah, and indeed, throughout the U.S.
I served four years with George Miller in the U.S. Congress and I witnessed, up close and personally, the hostility he has for mining, whether open pit or underground.
With my 25 years experience in the mining industry supplying blasting products, I have come to respect all but a very few mine operators and owners for their attention to and concern for the safety of their employees. I tried, for the most part successfully, to make this point in the Congress to my colleagues whenever we were considering mine safety legislation. However, my words to George Miller and his small band of extreme environmentalists in the House always fell on deaf ears.
Congressman Matheson has forgotten that the Miner Act of 2006 is not yet even fully implemented. There is no need to rush prematurely into this brand new wide-ranging legislation.
I am, like most Utahns, very heart-broken over what happened at Crandall Canyon. Because of my background in the mining industry, many people have asked me what I think about Crandall Canyon, Bob Murray, possible safety violations, retreat mining, etc. Admittedly, I have my suspicions; but, I have always answered: "I'll tell you when the investigations of the Crandall disaster are complete." That is what Congressman Matheson should have told Congressman Miller when Miller asked him to co-sponsor this politically correct but unnecessary and very likely damaging piece of legislation.

Hey guys,
Since this forum is VERY active right now, many threads are getting lost and people aren't properly checking to see if their thread is a duplicate topic. As a result, since this is an important matter, we've had many phishing/hack/security threads
As we have in a handful of other forums, we'd like to provide this thread for the discussion of phishing/hacking/account security measures and updates on the matter. This way the discussion stays visible and we don't get 20 new threads each day on the matter.
To give feedback on moderation, contact email@example.com
Current ANet update from here:
Account security - We're seeing an uptick in reports of account theft and attempted account theft. We believe hackers are using databases of email addresses and passwords stolen from other games and web sites, and pre-existing trojan horses, to search for matching Guild Wars 2 accounts which they attempt to compromise. To prevent this, we have temporarily disabled the "reset password" feature, and we're working to bring email authentication online. To protect yourself, please ensure that you use a unique password for Guild Wars 2 that you don't use for any other game, email account, forum or web account.
Email authentication - Email authentication is a feature that notifies you if someone tries to log into your account from a location you've never logged in from before. Thus, even if someone guesses your game password, he can't log in unless he also guesses your email account password. You can make email authentication even more secure by using an email provider that supports two-factor authentication, such as Google or Yahoo, and taking advantage of that. We're currently preparing email authentication and intend to deploy it in a phased rollout, starting on Thursday, August 30.

Just a note guys, since a lot of people seem to think this.
Just because you haven't entered your password in a long time doesn't mean hackers can't fetch your username and password. Your account details are stored on your computer via browser cookies and hitting that little "Remember Password" button makes it so easy to steal your account details that a child could take it.
The general rule is, if the website you are logging into has "https" in the address bar instead of "http", then it is generally safe to "Remember Password". However, if it is not, then it is completely insecure. You should only really save your password if you log into an "https" site. All others, don't do it. Also, if you want to be completely safe, then turn off ALL cookies in your browser and always type in your account details.
The "https" signifies that everything you do on that site is encrypted, and only expert hackers would be able to decrypt the information and see what you're doing.
Hackers will look at sites you logged into that do NOT have "https", and try that password on the secured sites you logged into.
Note: Hackers CAN use viruses on your computer that detect your key hits and steal your information that way (these are called Keyloggers), but this is much less common as long as you continuously run updated virus checks. Retrieving your account details through cookies is much easier.
Hope this helps some of you.

This whole account hacking thing is reminiscent of the Rift launch. Exactly the same thing was happening then with hundreds, maybe thousands of accounts compromised and the developers berating their customers for being lax with their passwords.
The thing is though, eventually one of their own customers posted in their forums that he had discovered a vulnerability in their authentication process. All that was necessary was to log in via a genuine account and that then opened a back door to all the other servers and it was possible to switch at will. The hackers were able to take command of characters, steal all their valuable items delete characters, change passwords, anything they wanted.
Miraculously, within no time at all of the customer posting this information, all the hacking stopped. I don't recall Trion ever admitting it was actually a flaw in their system, rather than lax security on their customer's behalf that allowed it to happen but the suspicion has to be that it was..
I really do think the GW2 people should be examining their own systems now too instead of just automatically blaming their customers for the problems.

This whole account hacking thing is reminiscent of the Rift launch. Exactly the same thing was happening then with hundreds, maybe thousands of accounts compromised and the developers berating their customers for being lax with their passwords.
My account was banned for alleged RMT activity but ANet have not once provided any evidence to show what my account was supposed to have done or even communicated with me to say 'Hey, we banned your account'.
A ticket to Support has had two responses from ANet with both responses asking for the same information.
And you can't contact them by phone. If anyone is guilty of compromising accounts its ANet who have basically stolen $60.00 from me.
Came home to a hacked account today. I'm pretty strict about my security and run a rotation of different passwords and usernames, but it seemes the one I have used for GW2 is floating out there (not the same as e-mail or forums etc., but a couple of other recent games). Meh...
As much as I hated those security questions in TOR, all MMO's should take a lesson from it. A fairly large rotation of "unusual" questions for any account changes to ensure it's tricky to to break through even with the username and password in hand. Seems the hackers are having a field day with GW2.
It's not that it bothers me that much, if only the support reputation had been better at the moment. As it looks now I may not get to play for a few days, but we'll see.
Fanboys are so bad on this site, I got an email telling me that my guild wars account email had changed so i deleted it went to log into guildwars to change it and wow it ws changed just like that, the best part is I only played in BWE3 and did not buy guild wars 2 i was waiting now i'm going to wait long this is sad IMO. It's not always the users fault and everyone one on here makes it so Black and White and think theyknow everything. I don't care too much my email Is safe which is all i care about i have different passwords for everything and yada yada but who cares Fanboys are gana assume i did one thing wrong and run with it. A-Net needs to step up acct security TBH
EDIT: BTW I love guild wars 2 I have not played an mmo in over a year and GW2 is the only game that excites me BTW but admit some faults where they'er do don't be blind
I signed up to this site because I got an email about 20 mins ago saying someone tried changing my email on my GW2 account.
Now I don't have a GW2 account or Areanet account or any of these. My computer is always checked for intrusions daily and I quickly ran all my tests again when I got the email. The only game I play is wow, but that isnt even the same email address the above was sent to.
I had a GW 1 account back when it first started, but that was an email address way back in the day and isn't even working anymore. i never clicked any links in the email and I am not sure why I would get an email.
the status update from yesterday (link is on the game launcher)
Some people seem to have reading comprehension problems.
1. It doesn't matter if you respond to the e-mail or not, which was by the way sent from their official address firstname.lastname@example.com. I did not respond, checking the actual game first, and my e-mail and password were still hacked. My account was hacked while I was away from the game for several days.
2. The security of your password also does not matter. I only use this same password with my university, which is a whole separate e-mail and whole separate username. The only thing I can think of is that the problem is on their end with regard to the GW1 accounts perhaps because I am using the same password I used for GW1.
3. It is no user's fault so stop blaming them. People have literally been buying the game, only to find out minutes later that their accounts do not exist. The problem is on ArenaNet's end.
4. Solution: Change your password from your GW1 account if possible. Don't respond to e-mails (but I don't think anyone with common sense would anyway).

this was true but ANET changed this since Wednesday
Account security - We're seeing an uptick in reports of account theft and attempted account theft. We believe hackers are using databases of email addresses and passwords stolen from other games and web sites, and pre-existing trojan horses, to search for matching Guild Wars 2 accounts which they attempt to compromise. To prevent this, we have temporarily disabled the "reset password" feature, and we're working to bring email authentication online. To protect yourself, please ensure that you use a unique password for Guild Wars 2 that you don't use for any other game, email account, forum or web account.
So far, i haven't had any problems and haven't received one phishing email yet.
Some blame should go to A-Net for not having authenticaters at lauch, but most of the blame should go to users.
I think its common sense not to use same email address for every single site, but most don't because they're lazy to use different unique passwords and username.
Why its common sense - for example. I got like 7 gmail accounts. I use one for craigslist [I get a lot of junk email], one personal email address. 4 other gmail accounts used for gaming sites. They all have unique username and password. I used my personal gmail account for guild wars 2 and even that has a different password than my gmail account.
TLDR : Use unique passwords and usernames/email accounts
im a gw2 fan but i agree that the support for being hacked is lacking on ANETs part
this person describing in detail the support hes been given since he was hacked on Thursday
some players have been waiting for 3+ days with no anet support on acct retrieval
This video sums it all up.

Does anyone have any idea what they are talking about and how to turn this feature on?
its been turned on by default
We now have email authentication turned on for all players with verified email addresses. With this feature, even if someone guesses your password, when he tries to login from a location that you've never logged in from before, you'll have an opportunity to approve or disapprove of the login through an email check.

Pros: Cheap | Neutral | Value for Money | Thick Cabling | Portability
Cons: Very Closed Sound Stage | Long Cable | Plastic Construction
These were the very first headphones I bought when I was in primary school.
I remember saving up a few weeks to get this pair but unfortunately the cable broke after a few years of use.
Fast forward +15 years, I now have a job and starting to get into the headphone world...........so addictive.
I just received a pair from ebay not long ago. Be sure to look for a reputable reseller as there could be fakes going around.
I can't say whether mine are fake or not. The box, papers and headphones all match up saying that it was all done Thailand.
The details on the headphones also match up well with photos I've seen online. I guess the only way to tell for sure is to open them up (which I won't be doing for now).
When I first plugged these into my Samsung Note 10.1 and listened to a bit of FLAC, I thought the sound quality was quite horrible so I stopped listening for a while.
I would say that the sound stage was very closed and SQ muddled. That's as far as I can describe it due to my limited experience in expressing what it sounds to me.
Next I connected it up to my Schiit Modi / Magni stack and the first few minutes it sounded the same as my Samsung Note.
However after 10 minutes of listening, I started to get use to the sound signature and dare I say....started to like it again.
Call it nostalgia, it brought me back to my childhood when these were my favourite and only cans.
I found that these work quite well with female vocals and acoustic, I like the flat response and neutral sounds it gives.
Though these cans are relatively bass light, I think they do well for what they're worth.
I don't find that these work well with fast paced music or anything that has a lot of things going on.
To me the SQ just falls apart when challenged and becomes muddled and incoherent.
With regards to portability, they're great to throw around in the bag and not feel bad about treating them without care.
But they do confuse with a 2m long cable which is a lot of cable to stuff in your pockets.
For me, I will be using these in the office as they provide some isolation but allows me to hear chatter and phone calls.
They are quite comfortable and light, so they can be worn for a long time in an air conditioned room such that the pleather won't steam up your ears.
Lets face it, for $30 AUD budget there will be some pros and cons.
I wouldn't spend anything more that, and there are better contenders around that price range - like for instance the AKG K420 which I have are my current budget favs.
I would only recommend these to anyone who are looking for a pair of cans that can be thrown away after a beating.
Or anyone that wants to have a nostalgic experience if they once owned these.
Overall I'm happy with this little toy, hopefully I can keep it in good condition :)

Like Entropy said, it's just categorization for the sake of it, which is sort of pointless.

Find Your Way Round Late Victorian London (1891)
Edward Stanford's 24 sheet, 6 inch to the mile Library Map of London and its Suburbs, 1891 edition, with an index of over 24,000 street and other names. Stanford used the Ordnance Survey 12 inch to the mile map which had been produced in outline for the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, and sent his own surveyors out to complete the detail, for the first edition in 1862. More detailed than the modern A-Z this map was amazingly never published with an index, until this CD.
These CDs of maps of London are unique. The quality of the large map images is much higher than can be achieved with normal scanning, the maps are fully indexed for all street and place names and the CDs include expert commentary by Ralph Hyde, formerly Keeper of Prints and Maps at the London Guildhall Library, who has greater knowledge of this field than anyone is ever likely to have again.
All the map CDs feature the yellow circle navigation (currently the 1862 map CD is an exception to this as it was published before this facility was developed). When you select a name from the place name index the map is positioned so that the chosen location is visible and indicated by a yellow circle, including when zooming in on the larger scale images.
The CDs are popular with researchers, in particular for genealogy. They are PC and Mac compatible, well presented and make excellent gifts.
