Responsible Travel
Travel's way too important not to do it properly. If you're going to cross oceans, explore the Amazon Rainforest and ride tuk tuks in the name of Adventure, it may as well be responsible adventure: a trip that treads lightly, eats noisily and gives a little something back.
All of our Adventure Challenges are geared around fundraising and responsible travel. It's kind of our thing. That means that 10% of every dollar we get goes straight back to flagship charity projects and tree-planting campaigns in the countries we visit. The grassroots organisations that can really make a difference in the world.
Since 2009 we've teamed up with incredible NGOs and small community groups to raise over USD 75,000, distributed to our various Meaningful Travel initiatives. Not only that, but our plucky adventurers have fundraised an extra USD 50,000 for charities of their choice.
We often say that travel can change the world. Which sounds a bit cheesy, but it's true. Visiting far away places, putting money in the hands of local communities, learning about other cultures and busting up stereotypes – it's all possible. You've just got to think responsibly.
Our Sustainable Pledge
We solemnly swear to:
- Preserve and conserve our natural resources, flora and fauna.
- Reduce our impact on the environment.
- Promote and preserve cultural heritage with respect and responsibility.
- Develop tourism that improves the lives of the people it touches.
- Make Responsible Travel a force for good in the world.
Our CSEC Pledge
It's our job, as a responsible travel company to inform and educate everyone we can about the risks of exploiting children in the name of tourism. We're committed to protecting children and adolescents in the places we travel, and fighting sexual exploitation wherever we find it.
To do that, we'll engage, support and empower local communities to raise awareness about this issue. And you can help. Pledge your support and read our Responsible Travel guidelines for more info on how you, as a traveller, can fight the sexual exploitation of kids.
Support us! Protect Children against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation in Tourism.
Flagship Projects:
It's part of the deal as soon as you click 'Sign me up. Let's do this.' When you book a Large Minority challenge, 10% of your trip price is automatically donated to our flagship projects in the country you've picked to visit. And there's more too. You'll actually get to stop-in and see these projects on the ground. You'll meet the kids, learn a bit about the community initiative and understand exactly where your dollars went. Queue the warm and fuzzy feels.
When picking these foundation projects, we put a big emphasis on education. We don't want to get all Presidential about this, but we really believe the kids are our future. We really think travel can make the world a better place, and to do that we've focused our meaningful travel efforts on three main areas: environment, learning resources and leisure activities.
We organise these projects through local public schools (with a helping hand from a few hand-picked local charities and NGOs). The NGO or organisation provides all the logistical stuff, while the beneficiary school handles the ground level prep and the official handing over event. Each project is monitored for 48 months to make sure it's doing what we want it to do, then the successful models are rolled out in other areas of the country. Simples.
Tree-planting Program and Environment Campaign
A bit of background
Deforestation in developing countries is mostly down to agriculture, growing demand for timber and smaller-scale firewood collection. Obviously, this isn't great. In fact in places like Sri Lanka the montane evergreen forests are some of the most endangered in the world. To help fight deforestation we have decided to replant native trees with the help of local children. Saving the world, one tree at a time.
How does it work?
This project gets students at a local school actively involved in fighting deforestation. Each student becomes responsible for a few plants on the school grounds, and he or she takes care of those plants and monitors their growth in regular reports. The NGO or organisation provides support and guidance, picking the right plants based on stuff like climate and topography. The idea is to plant useful tress which can also provide medicine, timber, shade and fruit.
- To boost tree cover in the area.
- To increase the food availability for the school.
- To put a stop to illegal encroachment, logging, uncontrolled chopping of fire wood, and hunting. All through awareness programs.
- To build local capacity for natural conservation projects.
English Activity Room and Facility Improvements
A bit of background
Like it or not, the English language can take you places in this world. We tend to take it for granted, but learning conversational English (and beyond) can open doors for kids in developing countries. Only a few schools in developing countries include English as part of the curriculum, and organisations in rural areas often don't have the resources, facilities or expertise to get the kids up to a good level of proficiency. Rural students need a better environment to learn English properly, and we're doing our best to make it happen.
How does it work?
The project we're working on with local schools is setting up a dedicated English Activity room. It's an area of the school specifically for kids to boost their English skills. They'll get better teaching from qualified experts, basic equipment like computers, English books, tables and chairs, and there'll be an increase in student intake in the local area.
- To improve speaking, listening and reading skills.
- To improve knowledge of the English language.
- To create a learning process that's fun and engaging.
Music and Arts
A bit of background
There's been a lot of study done on the effect of music on a child's development, and the results are pretty cool. Music boosts intellectual abilities, social and emotional skills, motor coordination and overall literacy. Not bad, Vanilla Ice, not bad. Music is a part of some curriculums in local schools, but there are rarely enough resources to help kids reach their full potential. Especially in the more rural areas. Lack of government funding means the smaller schools are restricted to occasional music and dancing on festival days, and they often have to borrow equipment or instruments from neighbouring schools. With a bit of outside help, these kids can learn new skills and express themselves through music. Everyone deserves that chance.
How does it work?
The project provides smaller, rural schools with a range of musical instruments and AV equipment. Everything they need to run dedicated music classes and put on performances in the school. The goal is to fuel a bit of interest and passion in the kids, and get them into music from an early age. From what we've seen in Western countries, it makes a big difference in a kid's development.
- To provide a better quality of music and dance education.
- To get kids interested in the learning process.
- To improve music and dancing skills.
Sustainable things we do
- Local Communities – travelling local is better for everyone involved, so wherever we can, we try to eat, stay and travel with local small businesses, not the big tourism chains. We respect our local friends, and pay them fairly for their efforts.
- Environment – we support a bunch of environmental campaigns to raise awareness in local schools. Our travellers get a chance to visit these communities on our trips, to give back, interact with the kids, donate if they wish, and help out with tree-planting projects.
- Cultural Heritage – we do make sure our travellers are educated about local cultures, and respect them at all times. It's our job as travellers to help preserve and honour these traditions, and we take that responsibility seriously.
- Wildlife – we condemn the mistreatment of animals, and ban exploitative tourism practices on our trips (no elephant-riding here). We also condemn the export, import and abuse of endangered species.
- Recycling and Waste – it's no longer enough to say 'I didn't know' when it comes to waste management. We know how plastic can damage the environment, which is why we provide our travellers with cloth sacks for trash and other waste during the trip. Plastic and glass bottles are collected separately and recycled after the Challenge is over. Smokers are encouraged to butt-out properly, and we recycle in our offices back home. Green and proud, baby.
- Merchandising – the event bags we hand our travellers are hand-made with local materials and printed with bio-degradable inks (when possible).
- Accommodation – we make sure we source eco-friendly hotels wherever we can, and our campsites are all set up in approved areas.
- Printing – we don't print in the workplace unless it's absolutely necessary (seriously, our desks are super clean). When we do print, we only use FSC certified recycled paper. This applies to our brochures, business cards and all other bits of collateral.
- Website Hosting – our website hosting provider powers its servers with using wind. They've also got a fancy Renewable Energy Certification.
- Water – it's thirsty work, adventuring. So we encourage our travellers to minimize their use of plastic water bottles wherever they can and bring along re-useable alternatives (or a purification tablet, if that's your thing).

A scout from the University of Miami who came to watch Liberty County play Windsor Forest on Wednesday in the Joe Greene Tip-Off Tournament got an eyeful of talented duo Nisha Adams and Metra Walthour.
Adams, a 6-foot-2 junior center, scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Walthour added 22 points, eight assists and eight steals in a 78-31 Liberty County victory.
The Panthers (1-1) are a favorite to win Region 3-AAA South and make noise in the state tournament. Windsor Forest (0-2) played without senior point guard Christine Phan, who was on the sidelines but not in uniform.
Adams played a near perfect game, going 12-for-15 from the floor, 3-for-4 from the foul line and blocking four shots. Despite Adams' performance, Walthour was not overshadowed by her taller teammate as she controlled the flow of the game on both ends of the court and made sure Adams had plenty of open looks at the basket.
"Without our guards, I really wouldn't be able to get the ball," Adams said. "Basically, it's great playing with (Walthour). We've been playing together since we were freshman, and she knows where I am on the floor at all times."
Adams said she was a little nervous when she learned that the Miami scout was in the stands, but the butterflies didn't last long. After missing her first shot of the game, she made her next six attempts and scored 13 first-half points.
Walthour, a junior guard, started quickly as well with four points and four assists in the first quarter, including two accurate lobs to Adams for easy points. Along with freshman guards Miata Askew and Kourtney Alexander, Walthour's quick hands and feet keyed a defense that caused Windsor Forest to commit 13 turnovers in the first half and 24 turnovers before halftime.
"We said before the game we need to be a more aggressive team," said Liberty Co. coach Carolyn Kelly. "(In Tuesday's loss to Southwest Macon), we were more laid back and not moving as fast as we need to be moving. We wanted to come out and pressure the whole the time to gain as much experience playing man-to-man defense as we can."
Liberty Co. applied full-court pressure for the entire first half and disrupted Windsor Forest's offense with traps and double teams. The Panthers led 22-2 after the first quarter, and the lead swelled to more than 25 points three minutes into the second quarter.
Windsor Forest's Ashley Booker led the Knights with 14 points, while Monica Barcomb came off the bench to contribute nine points and nine rebounds.
Metra Walthour 22, Askew 4, Kourtney Taylor 18, Nisha Adams 27, Barham 4, Gordon 3.
Carter 1, Ashley Booker 14, Rogers 2, Walker 5, Barcomb 9.
Halftime-LC, 44-17. Records-LC 1-1; WF 0-2.

About Compton
courtesy of wikipedia
In 1784, the Spanish Crown deeded a tract of over 75,000 acres (304 km²) to Juan Jose Dominguez in this area. The tract was named Rancho San Pedro. Dominguez's name was later applied to the Dominguez Hills community south of Compton. The tree that marked the original northern boundary of the rancho still stands at the corner of Poppy and Short streets. The rancho was sub-divided and parcels were sold within the Californios of Alta California until the lands were ceded after the Mexican-American war in 1848. American immigrants acquired most of the rancho lands after 1848.
In 1867, Griffith D. Compton led a group of American settlers to the area in search of the mild climate. The city was incorporated on May 11, 1889 and was named for Griffith D. Compton.
Aerial view of Compton, 1920.
Compton grew quickly in the mid-1900s. While it would soon be home to a large number of African Americans, in 1930 there was only one black resident.[3] In the late 1940s with the dismantling of segregation, middle class African-Americans began moving into the area, mostly on the west side. One reason for this was Compton's proximity to Watts, where a significant number of blacks lived at the time. However, the eastern side of the city remained predominantly white into the 1970s. Despite being located in the middle of a major metropolitan area, there remains at least one small pocket of agriculture from its early years.[4]

If you decide to rush a fraternity or join a sorority, there are several factors you should take into account before you get overwhelmed by all the attention they are giving you. The brothers or sisters have their own agenda, and need to fill up the house with a new pledge class every year. Look at the clothes everyone is wearing, and especially their shoes. Are these the same clothes and shoes that you always wear? How do people talk? Do they make sense to you, and seem like the same crowd of friends you left back home?

He now serves as NFL Media's personnel guru. Brandt's expertise isn't limited to current rosters. He's also a great resource for pre-draft insight. Brandt recently released his annual list of the top 150 prospectsleading up to the 2017 NFL Draft.
For all the media members who specialize in talent evaluation, few (if any) are as qualified as Gil Brandt. The former Dallas Cowboys executive spent more than three decades in NFL front offices.
Here are the five biggest takeaways.
1. Two QBs in the Top 10
The first seven players listed in Brandt's rankings are the usual suspects: Myles Garrett, Leonard Fournette, Solomon Thomas, Marshon Lattimore, Jamal Adams, Malik Hooker and Jonathan Allen. But things get interesting at No. 8.
Brandt has North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in that spot, followed by Clemson signal-caller Deshaun Watson at No. 9. There aren't many other draft analysts who have a single quarterback ranked in the top 10, let alone two.
"Has very good accuracy," Brandt noted on Trubisky. "Moves around well. Quick release. Has traits that usually translate to NFL success."
And on Watson: "He doesn't have the strongest arm, but he has great character, is accurate, and is a proven winner."
2. A Surprise for Best WR
No, it's not Clemson's Mike Williams, nor is it Western Michigan's Corey Davis. Rather, Washington's John Ross claims the title as Brandt's top-ranked wideout and sits at No. 10 overall.
The Huskies speedster stole the show at the NFL Scouting Combine with a record 4.22-second 40-yard dash. Those wheels are a rare commodity and come with a heavy price tag. A top 15 pick might be the cost to enlist Ross' services.
3. Cornerbacks a Plenty
It's been well documented that this year's class of cornerbacks is one of the best ever. Brandt clearly sees things the same way. Seven of his top 32 players are corners. That list includes Ohio State's Lattimore and Gareon Conley, USC's Adoree' Jackson, Florida's Quincy Wilson, Washington's Kevin King, LSU's Tre'Davious White and Colorado's Chidobe Awuzie.
4. Bucking the Trend
There are several players who have been rising up draft boards over the past few weeks. However, Brandt isn't so quick to jump on the hype train of Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt (60th overall), East Carolina wide receiver Zay Jones (62), Connecticut safety Obi Melifonwu or Cal quarterback Davis Webb (81).
Each of those four players have been suggested as potential first round picks or at a minimum locks for the second round.
5. Finding Value at Receiver
Marquee names like Ross, Williams and Davis will come at a premium cost, but they also might not be worth San Francisco's No. 2 overall pick. The 49ers could opt to trade back or make a move to get back into the first round, but the odds are that pick No. 34 in the second round will be the team's next chance at grabbing a pass-catcher.
Brandt has several decorated college receivers ranked outside of his top 50 prospects. These players bring with them impressive résumés and could be options for the 49ers as deep into the draft as the third round.
Penn State's Chris Godwin, Jones, Eastern Washington's Cooper Kupp and Oklahoma's Dede Westbrook could all be intriguing options for John Lynch and Co. on Day 2 of the draft.

Question about Emerson Smartset Clock Radio
I have tried to open the projector to check the bulb, but couldn't get the body apart. Yes I didtake out the screw out. Is there a bulb?
Posted by modi1 on
My projector quit working also it was very dim now its not on at all and i have replaced the battery thinking this would help but it didnt is there a bulb you can replace and how????
To open the case you need a plastic pry bar to unlock the plastic locking network that holds the case together. You must find a opening to use the pry bar in. Once you have it inserted in the opening, gently move the pry bar up and down and back and forth to unlock the plastic locks. You must do this very carefully so as not to damage the case locks. You must do this all the way around the case until it opens up. I hope this information help you with your problem. Thank you for using FixYa and have a nice day.

Regardless of what some might tell you, there are elements of sales that are quite organic, and as a result there are lessons we can take from nature. One is that not all things that lead to real value start smoothly or simply, but as the process unfolds, the end result can be both a thing of beauty and value. That's one way I like to look at prospecting, specifically telephone prospecting, yes cold calling.
I like to think of a cold call, the very start of an engagement with a prospect, as being very much like the start of the process in the making of a pearl. There is no denying that the pearl starts out as an irritant, an intrusion from the outside; but then over time, ongoing interaction, things develop, and where the end result is a thing of beauty and value.
Let's be straight, I am not suggesting that you set out to irritate anyone intentionally, but at times you may not have a choice if you are going to help and win new customers. This is especially so with prospect who are removed from the market, the Status Quo, who left to their own, are not actively engaged in or thinking about buying anything, beyond "social" reach; this is usually in excess of 70% of you target market. These prospects, who are not self-declared buyers, may perceive the initial approach as a nuisance or aggravation.
I get it, cold calls are irritating, even cold calls that executed well; but I would also argue, not for the reason most think and fear. Sure bad calls are bad no matter what, but when done right, the reality is that we are making the prospect face things they have been able to ignore and burry, and avoid dealing with. They know what they have is not just far from not perfect, but not even close to ideal. It is just that they have decided that "the pain of the same is less that the pain of the change". Initiating that change, the catalyst that leads to action, not just denying or ignoring the issue, may not be pleasant to start.
Those who a) understand that, and b) understand how they will manage the buyer experience, have the greatest success in telephone prospecting. To be successful at cold calls you need to be able to talk to outcomes and changes that will benefit the buyer and deliver the business impacts they are looking to achieve. This starts with understanding what outcomes you have been able to others in similar roles, in similar type of environments.
If you call a small fleet operator and initiate the call peaking about pains and needs they have not acknowledged, your fate is sealed before the first ring. Yet this is what most sales people and pundits go for: pains, needs, problems, (solutions), efficiencies, and all the things that prospects have turned a deaf ear to for years. Instead, you can call and speak to how you can help them get more service calls in a given day, or how you can help them extend the life of their vehicles, and improve their return on assets, or how you can help them reduce fuel costs while allowing them to wear a "green" halo. These are things not tied to pain, but to outcomes, things people are always thinking about, and more willing to hear more about.
The best sellers understand that part of their job description is "disruptive marketing", which includes the willingness and ability to take an interruption to a conversation, an irritating grain of sand to a pearl.

In regard to the brawl that took place between Clemson and South Carolina football players, I take strong exception to the statement attributed to the Clemson University police chief who stated: "he didn't expect any criminal charges. 'We're allowing, basically, the university's athletic department to deal with its players for their behavior.'"
That compares unfavorably with the statement by a University of Georgia football player, who said, in essence, if it happened off-campus, they would all be in jail. There should not be any difference if we are going to teach our young people both accountability and responsibility for their actions. The message seems to be if you are a major sports athlete, the law doesn't apply to you.
As a retired police chief, I have seen the results of this time and again, when a few of these folks commit crimes away from the campus or after they have graduated and don't understand why they are going to jail, some for a long time. It is time we stopped making an exception for these people.

Historical Marker #2268 in Lincoln County notes the location of Boneyville, an "emancipation" or "free town" formed in the years immediately following the Civil War.
Numerous small, rural, African American communities sprang up during the Reconstruction era in Kentucky. Some were formed from land sold to freedmen by their former masters. One such community was formed in Lincoln County on property formerly owned by Hugh Hays. According to the 1860 U.S. census, Hays was a seventy-three year old farmer with real estate worth $20,500 and personal property valued at $19,000. The majority of Hays's personal estate was in the seventeen enslaved individuals he held. The census indicates that Hays also owned three slave houses.
During the Civil War, Napoleon Bonaparte Hays left his enslaved life and enlisted in the United States army, becoming a private in Company C of the 12th United States Colored Heavy Artillery. It is not known if Hays had permission from his owner to enlist or not. The 12th trained at Camp Nelson before spending a good deal of the war on garrison duty in Bowling Green. Hays and the 12th mustered out of service in April 1866.
After his military service, Hays returned to Lincoln County and purchased seven acres of property from J.C. Hays, son of Hugh Hays, in 1867. Three years later, Bonaparte Hays was listed in the census as a thirty-one year old "mulatto" farm hand who owned $400 in personal property. Listed, too, were his forty-nine year old wife Rachel, and children Lucy (14), Martha (12), Laura (6), Malverna (3), and Eugenie, who was 6 months old. By 1880, only "Bone," Rachel, Malverna, and Eugenius lived in the household.
Assisting Hays in establishing the Boneyville community—which was named after Bonaparte "Bone" Hays—was Alfred Simpson, a former slave from Garrard County. The Hays and Simpson families joined when Lucy Hays married Elias Simpson, Alfred's son, around 1877. Both men valued the importance of education and religion in building a strong community. They established a one-room school in Boneyville that was used until 1961.
It is believed that Napoleon Bonaparte Hays died in 1907. Records indicate that the county court appointed administrators for his estate in that year. He was buried in the Buffalo Springs Cemetery.

Long Road Pays Off: Tekoil Spuds First Exploration Well in Newfoundland
Tekoil & Gas Corporation reported the spud of exploration well Glori E-67. Contract work was awarded to Newfoundland owned and operated, P. Sullivan & Sons Co. Ltd. to set conductor casing. The company said that drilling began on January 14, 2008, and it is estimated this onshore portion of the program will take 20 days to complete.
Tekoil's Chairman and CEO, Mark Western said: "This is a true milestone in our young company's history, following two and a half years of exhaustive planning. Exploration in western Newfoundland has been one of our goals since inception, and we have finally made it."
Ptarmigan Resources Ltd. ("Ptarmigan") has mapped four prospects within the Ordovician carbonate platform in the Foreland Basin, and farmed out to Tekoil in January 2007. In addition to the Foreland Basin setting, Ptarmigan has also mapped two prospects in the hanging wall of the regional thrust, and these prospects are comprised of the same Ordovician carbonate reservoir systems. It is within the hanging wall that Glori E-67 will be drilled.
On completion of Glori E-67, Tekoil and Ptarmigan have agreed Tekoil's commitment to earn a 33.3% interest in the offshore license EL #1069 will be fulfilled. The completion of Glori E-67 also meets the commitments set forth by the Canada-Newfoundland & Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) that allows Ptarmigan/Tekoil to extend the license EL #1069 through January 2011.
Final approvals for Glori E-67 are ongoing and are expected to be granted prior to the drilling of the surface hole by the Tek #1 rig. Tekoil is working closely with both the C-NLOPB and the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources (NLDNR) in order to follow all procedures to ensure Glori E-67 is drilled in a safe and efficient manner.
EL 1069 is located on a well-established Ordovician carbonate platform trend that extends along a regional continental passive margin -- stretching from Texas, through Oklahoma, Arkansas, and the Appalachians into New York, and finally into Western Newfoundland. These same reservoirs account for numerous large oil and gas fields in those areas where they have been more thoroughly explored. Newfoundland is an extension of that trend. Only six deep exploratory wells have been drilled in western Newfoundland, the first of which was drilled in 1994, and tested oil from the Ordovician Carbonates at rates exceeding 2,500 barrels/day.
The company said that these are not developed prospects and as an exploratory well, there can be no assurances that Glori E-67 will become a commercial producer or that drilling difficulties won't arise. The area is highly petroliferous and numerous oil seeps occur on the surface and in water wells, and there is also an exposed ancient oil field on the surface at Port au Choix that has been exposed through erosion. Together, these are good indicators of a highly prospective area.
In addition, future activity by Tekoil with respect to its interest in EL 1069 will depend on its ability to finance them.

Janice Dickinson tears up while discussing her breast cancer fight
Model Janice Dickinson got teary as she discussed her brave and very scary fight against breast cancer on an episode of "The Doctors" airing today, Wednesday, April 6.
She was diagnosed with the disease in early March after her doctor found a small lump in her breast during a routine checkup. Janice said she has ductal carcinoma, one of the most common types of breast cancer.
The former "America's Next Top Model" judge was very open and candid when talking about her diagnosis, explaining that it affected everyone around her and she's not the only one coping.
"It's shocking; everything hit me at once. My mother died of cancer, so I know how bad I felt when I heard about my mother," Dickinson said.
"My son broke down. Honestly, I haven't cried in about 30 years, and just lately I've been very tearful because I felt fear for the first time. And I don't get scared. I kind of lost it," she added.
Janice, who is known for her tough personality, doesn't plan on throwing her hands up and giving in. She is ready to win this battle. And she has plans for her future.
"I want to see my daughter walk down the aisle and I want grandchildren, and I want to get married with Rocky, my fiancé, who's a doctor," she said.
The supermodel, who publicly accused Bill Cosby of raping her in November 2014, also wants other women to pay attention and to learn someone from what she's experiencing.
"I'm doing this for all women. Please, sisters, have regular breast examinations. I can be emotional and happy and sad and afraid, but I'm not alone. I now await surgery," she explained.
"I use to obsess over image. I'm the world's first supermodel," she continued. "I've been in front of cameras. I will never keep quiet when something is bothering me. I'm a fighter," she added.
"I'm not the type of woman to fall apart, but it's nothing to downplay."

Daniel Joyner looks like a lock to advance to the live shows in this exclusive sneak peek at tonight's "Judge's Cuts" episode of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.
Daniel, just 17, tears the roof off of the CBS Radford Studios with his cover of Nina Simone's signature hit, "Feeling Good."
Check out this exclusive advance clip above, featuring guest judge George Lopez.
Prior to the performance, the teen told judges Simon Cowell, Mel B., Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel that he was "very confident."
Daniel, whose father is a preacher, was equally impressive a few weeks ago during his first audition.
"Your voice is fantastic, I'm impressed but it's important that you have fun." Cowell praised at the time. "If I were Michael Buble, I'd want to run you over!"
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT airs Tuesdays and Wednesday on NBC.

The Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys met at Soldier Field in their NFL clash on Monday Night Football.
Both sides were pressing to keep their playoff hopes alive as they were both second in their respective divisions in the NFC.
However, despite a bright start from the Cowboys the Bears dominated from the middle of the first quarter as every time they got the ball they score in a huge win to boost their chances of securing the NFC North playoff spot.
Read how all the action unfolded in our commentary below.
1.10amGood morning and welcome to the live commentary of the NFL clash between the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys.
1.11amThis is a crucial match for both sides as they look to reach the NFC playoffs, as they are poised just one game behind their rivals in their respective divisions.
1.12amThe Bears have fallen away in recent weeks but still have a shot at winning the NFC North division as they are just one game behind the Detroit Lions although Jim Schwartz's side hold the tiebreaker over them.
1.13amQuarterback Jay Cutler is still out for the Bears so they will be lead by Josh McCown once again who has done a decent job filling in for Cutler even if the wins don't match up to his performances.
1.14amThe 34-year-old has thrown nine touchdowns and one interception in six games since Cutler has been injured but his side have just won two of his six starts.
1.15amThe Bears endured a frustrating overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings last time out as Robbie Gould missed a field goal which allowed the Vikings to win the game. That should not take the shine of some brilliant individual performances from Matt Forte and Alshon Jeffery.
1.16amJeffery broke the Bears' receiving yards record for a single game with 249 yards on 12 receptions and two touchdowns in the match while Forte ran for 120 yards. The Cowboys will have their work cut out for them today on defense.
1.17amThe Bears defense has struggled of late especially with the run as injuries to their defensive line are starting to take hold as they have given up over 200 yards on the ground in each of their last three games.
1.18amThe Cowboys and DeMarco Murray will be looking to exploit that weakness while they could also punish the Bears with a play-action game to get their talented receivers open, as after a fast start wideout Dez Bryant has struggled in recent weeks.
1.20amDallas's defense has also been giving up a lot of yards recently without Pro-Bowl linebacker Sean Lee but he returns this evening to sure up the middle of the defense to stop the likes of Forte and Michael Bush taking advantage.
1.22amTony Romo is having a career year this season as he has thrown over 24 touchdowns to just seven interceptions at a passer rating at 97.4. December is a month he traditionally struggles in but if he can keep up his level of performances he is more than capable of firing his team into the playoffs.
1.25amBEARS INACTIVES: Toupou, Washington, Brown, Scott, Cattouse, Briggs, Cutler.
1.27amCOWBOYS INACTIVES: Claiborne, Durant, Hamilton, Lemon, Holloman, Brown, Weems.
1.30amConfirmation that the Bears are without Cutler this evening but linebacker Lance Briggs continues to be out by Jay Ratliff plays against his old club in his first game after being released by the Cowboys in October. Look for him on the defensive line.
1.32amThe Cowboys will be without starting cornerback Morris Claiborne so Orlando Scandrick will move from nickelback to the outside in their base defense and will have a tough task facing either Brandon Marshall or Jeffery. As mentioned before the Dallas defense will be boosted massively by the return of Sean Lee at middle linebacker.
1.36amCOIN TOSS RESULT: The Bears win the coin toss and they defer meaning the Cowboys and Romo will start the ball.
Q1 14:54Harris returns the ball to the 25 where Romo will begin.
Q1 14:32Murray gets the handoff and he powers over the middle of the field to move the chains with a 19-yard run right through the middle of the line to move his side to the 44-yard line.
Q1 13:26Murray gets two more handoffs and he churns through the middle of the line for gains of five yards on first and seven more on second as the Bears can't bring him down before he speeds past the marker.
Q1 12:05The Cowboys get a big first down pick up as Romo drops back on third and four and he can't find a target downfield so he checks down to Murray just in front of him and he moves the chains with a five yard reception.
Q1 10:17Murray churns out a couple of yards on second after Austin made a grab of four yards on first leaving Romo with a third and three and he delivers for his side as he fires a strike to Beasley for a gain of 11 yards moving them to the Chicago 14.
Q1 9:33Murray gets the handoff again as he speeds down the left sideline and evades all the tackles of the Bears defense before he finally gets shoved out of bounds at the one-yard line.
Q1 9:02The Cowboys take the lead as Romo fires a strike on a fade route to Bryant in one-on-one coverage on the outside and he makes the grab with ease to finish off an excellent opening drive from the visitors.
Q1 8:57Hester returns the ball to the 22 where McCown and the Bears will start.
Q1 8:46McCown gets the Bears moving immediately as he fires the ball to his tight end Bennett on a hitch route and he makes the grab to earn 1o yards before he gets brought down by Wilber.
Q1 7:25The Bears make an excellent conversion on third and 10 as the Cowboys bring the blitz but the offensive line and Forte pick it up and allows McCown to drill the ball downfield for Jeffery to make the grab for a 15-yard reception.
Q1 5:50McCown fires another short completion to Bennett and then hands the ball off to Forte on a sweep play and he cuts back on the left-hand side to get six yards on the carry to move the chains for his side.
Q1 5:16Forte gets the handoff on a pitch this time and he cuts round the edge and finds a hole to sprint into and he finds 12 yards before he's brought down at the Dallas 26.
Q1 3:33McCown drops back following a delay of game penalty that costs the Bears five yards but he gets all the yardage back as he fires to Marshall for 14 yards and on the next play Forte gets the handoff over the right side this time and moves his side to the four-yard line with a 13-yard run.
Q1 1:35The Bears strike back at the Cowboys as after two failed runs from Forte and Bush, McCown drops back in the pocket and drills a five-yard strike to Earl Bennett on a hitch route for the score to tie the game.
Q1 1:30Harris gets drilled at the 15 by McManis and Romo will start from inside his own redzone.
Q1 1:19Murray gets the handoff again for the Cowboys and he just plows right through the middle of the line once again making one good cut before he gets brought down for a 14-yard gain at the Dallas 30.
Q1 0:00Murray gets stuffed at the line on a toss play and on second down he collects a swing pass from Romo for three yards, so Dallas will have third and seven at the start of the second quarter.
Q1 0:00END OF FIRST QUARTER: Dallas Cowboys 7-7 Chicago Bears
Q2 14:32SACK! Romo goes down as Anderson gets to him in the pocket and drops him for a nine-yard loss on third down forcing the punt from Jones, which goes out of bounds at the Chicago 35.
Q2 14:22The Bears move the chains immediately as McCown fakes the handoff and then fires the ball short to Jeffery on the screen pass and he sprints to the marker for a gain of 11 yards at the Chicago 44.
Q2 13:48Another good throw from McCown as he drills the ball to Marshall this time on the deep post route over the middle of the field and he makes the grab for the 20-yard reception to the Dallas 34.
Q2 11:38The Bears receivers are having their way with the Cowboys defensive backs as they manage to convert on third and 14 after taking a seven-yard loss on first when Jeffery's endaround was sniffed out by the Dallas defense but McCown came back on third and drilled the ball to Marshall for a 15-yard gain to move the chains at the Dallas 20.
Q2 10:29McCown uses his feet this time to pick up the first down as Ware nearly gets his from behind and he is forced to take off but he finds space on the left with a block from Marshall for a 10-yard run at the Dallas 10.
Q2 8:58The Bears take the lead as McCown drops back in the pocket on second and goal but he can't find an open receiver so he runs down the middle and jukes a defender before he leaps into the endzone for the seven-yard score. Excellent play from the quarterback.
Q2 8:51Gould kicks the ball short and Clutts picks the ball up for the Cowboys and runs it back to their 31.
Q2 8:30Romo fires deep downfield for his tight end Escobar and he makes the grab for 25 yards down the seam to move the chains a whole lot more to move his side to the Chicago 43.
Q2 7:55Murray gets another handoff and again he finds space through the middle of the line to churn another 11 yards to move the the Chicago 32.
Q2 6:43Murray gets another 14 yards and another first down as he powers down the right side of the line on first for six yards and then comes back through the middle of the line for eight more to move the Cowboys to the 18.
Q2 5:30Murray gets two yards on first down but comes back with a seven-yarder through the middle of the line and then he cut back out to the right to move his side just one yard short of the first down marker, leaving third and one for his side at the Chicago 10.
Q2 5:22The Cowboys draw level as Romo fakes the handoff on third and one and drills the ball to Witten in the flat and he runs with the ball and powers through a couple of tackles to get into the endzone for the score.
Q2 5:16Hester is taken down at the 23-yard line where McCown will start once again.
Q2 3:21The Bears move the chains going through the air yet again as McCown fires the ball over the middle to Marshall who makes the grab for 10 yard after Bennett got seven on first, that moves the Bears to their 41.
Q2 2:45Huge yardage gain by the Bears as McCown fires a deep strike to Jeffery which he somehow manages to haul in down the sideline under pressure from Jennings for a 26-yard reception and that turns into a 41-yard gain as Selvie is flagged for roughing the passer adding 15 yards as he went low at the quarterback.
Q2 2:00The Bears get down to the Dallas five-yard line as McCown draws the rush onto him and then fires to his tight end Rosario who makes the catch and evades a couple of tackles for a 13-yard reception.
Q2 1:38The Bears have a costly penalty on the five-yard line as a holding call on Garza drops the back 10 yards and that means they can't find the endzone as McCown is forced to checkdown to Forte for five yards on third and goal for a five-yard reception. That leaves Gould with a 27-yard field goal attempt.
Q2 1:34FIELD GOAL GOOD! Cowboys 14-17 Bears
Q2 1:34Gould kicks the ball through the posts and hands the Bears the lead once again.
Q2 1:27Harris returns the ball to the 29 where Romo will begin.
Q2 1:20Bryant gets the first down for his side. Romo drills the ball to him on a curl route and he makes the grab and turns to power through a couple of tackles to get to the first down marker at the 39. Bryant stays down after the play with an injury, that could be huge loss for the Cowboys.
Q2 0:59The Cowboys can't go any further as Romo throws three incompletions at the 39 as Murray, Williams and Witten can't come up with the ball forcing the punt from Jones, which is returned to the Chicago 40 by Hester.
Q2 0:26The Bears convert on third down again as McCown drills the ball to Jeffery for a seven-yard completion on a quick slant route to move the Bears to the Dallas 44.
Q2 0:17McCown drops back in the pocket and drills the ball downfield to Marshall and he makes the grab for the 19-yard reception over Carr to move them to the 25.
Q2 0:10The Bear extend their lead as Jeffery makes one of the plays of the season as McCown tosses the ball up to the back of the endzone and somehow the receiver makes the grab under pressure from Webb and keeps both feet in bounds for the 25-yard score.
Q2 0:00Romo takes a knee to end the half.
Q2 0:00HALF-TIME: Dallas Cowboys 14-24 Chicago Bears
3.08amThe Bears take a 10-point lead at the break as their offense has been all over the Cowboys defense, as their receivers have dominated in the secondary and keep on making plays. The last one from Jeffery maybe one of the catches of the season to continue his breakout year.
3.10amThe Bears defense hasn't been much better than the Cowboys but they did manage to hold them in that drive just before the break which led to Jeffery's score that has handed them control of the game. Chicago get the ball at the start of the second half so Dallas better get into gear otherwise it could be out of this very quickly.
Q3 14:55Ford returns the ball to the Chicago 26 where McCown will begin.
Q3 14:39The Bears get a huge break as Selvie is flagged for a roughing the passer penalty following a three-yard completion to Forte and that will make that an 18-yard play moving the Bears to their 44.
Q3 13:28The Bears move inside the redzone as McCown fires a quick screen to Forte and he sprints down the right sideline and bursts through a couple of tackles to get to the Dallas 18 with a 34-yard reception. Awful tackling by Dallas.
Q3 12:48DROPPED! Scandrick has the chance to make a huge play for the Cowboys inside the redzone as he gets in front of Marshall but he can't make the interception as the ball slips out of his hands.
Q3 12:07The Bears can't punch the ball into the endzone as McCown overthrows Marshall in the endzone on third and eight and that will force Gould into a 34-yard field goal attempt.
Q3 12:02FIELD GOAL GOOD! Cowboys 14-27 Bears
Q3 12:02Gould makes no mistake firing his effort through the posts to hand his side a 13-point lead from 34 yards.
Q3 11:54Harris finds a hole on the kickoff and he returns the ball all the way to the Chicago 47.
Q3 10:30The Cowboys go three and out on their first possession after the break as Randle and Murray churn out six yards on the ground on first and second but on third Romo's deep pass for Bryant falls incomplete. Jones's punt is fair caught by Hester at the Chicago 10.
Q3 10:20McCown moves the chains immediately as McCown drops back in the pocket and drills the ball to Bennett who is wide open in the zone to make the grab for a 15-yard reception.
Q3 8:52The Bears get away with an interception and a near interception as McCown's pass is tipped up off Marshall and Moore makes the grab bu that is nullified for a holding call on Marshall by Carr, and Carter two plays earlier dropped one that went right through his hands.
Q3 7:30The Bears and McCown move the chains again as he fires over the middle of the field for Earl Bennett and he makes the grab and turns to get over the first down marker for an 11-yard reception on third and nine.
Q3 6:02Chicago keep powering the ball now as Forte gets the handoff on first for six yards and then through the middle of the line for 12 more yards to earn another first down.
Q3 4:52Bush comes into the gain and moves the chains for the Bears as he takes his first carry for seven yards right through the middle of the line and then gets it right up the gut again and for six yards.
Q3 3:49Forte is back in the game and he drives his side inside the 10 with a carry right through the middle of the Dallas line yet again this time for 12 yards on second down.
Q3 2:20The Bears are in the endzone again as McCown fakes the handoff to Forte and the back splits out on a route into the flat and the quarterback hits him on the one-yard line and he's left with the simple task of running into the endzone. The Bears go for two and they get it as McCown drills the ball to Marshall.
Q3 2:20Hall of Fame running back and former Cowboy Emmitt Smith is not happy with the Cowboys defense and coaching staff.
This Scheme is garbage.— Emmitt Smith (@EmmittSmith22) December 10, 2013
Q3 2:20The Cowboys will start at the 40.
Q3 2:10Romo fires downfield to Williams who is wide open down the right sideline for a 17-yard gain.
Q3 0:45Romo takes a sack on second down as he falls over and Jay Ratliff the former Cowboy touches him down for the loss and he can't get the yardage back as he hits Escobar for a five-yard gain on third down. But they are going for it on fourth down.
Q3 0:22The Cowboys can't convert as Anderson crashes through the middle of the line and Romo is forced to throw the ball away.
Q3 0:00Bush gets the handoff for the Bears and that will end the third quarter.
Q3 0:00END OF THIRD QUARTER: Dallas Cowboys 14-35 Chicago Bears
Q4 14:53McCown moves his side down the field with ease now as hits Marshall over the middle for a 23-yard gain and add another 15 yards onto that for a personal foul penalty that moves the Bears to the Dallas 17.
Q4 14:24The Bears extend their lead and add to the Cowboys woes as McCown dumps the ball off on a screen pass to Bush and he gets behind two good blocks and runs unopposed all the way into the endzone for the 17-yard score. That was so easy for the Bears. They haven't been forced to punt all game.
Q4 14:20Randle returns the ball to the 30 where Romo will start.
Q4 13:41Murray moves the chains for the Cowboys twice as he powers through the middle of the line and picks up 26 yards on two carries to move them into Chicago territory.
Q4 12:50Another handoff to Murray and another 12 yards on the ground as he moves the Cowboys to close to the 20.
Q4 12:10Randle moves the Cowboys inside the redzone with two tough carries over the middle as he churns out six yards and then another seven to move his side to the 12.
Q4 10:52Romo fires the ball to the back of the endzone and Beasley is there to make the grab for the touchdown going above the defensive back to leap in the air and could down with the catch for the nine-yard score.
Q4 10:51Dallas try and onside kick but Marshall gathers the ball at the Chicago 45.
Q4 9:55Forte gets the handoff and he moves the chains and gets a whole lot more with a 18-yard run over the right side of the line before he got brought down at the Dallas 35
Q4 8:05Bush gets a couple of carries this time and he gets five yards over the right side of the line on first and comes back on second and knocks a tackler back several yards to get the first with a six-yard carry at the Dallas 23.
Q4 5:54Forte gets the reception over the middle of the field and runs unopposed to make the catch and he beats Scandrick before he just stops at the first down marker to keep the clock moving.
Q4 3:51The Bears just try and kill the clock in the redzone as Forte gets two carries for six yards but Bush is stopped for a loss on third down and that will force Gould into a 23-yard field goal.
Q4 3:37FIELD GOAL GOOD! Cowboys 21-45 Bears
Q4 3:37Gould fires the ball through the posts and the Bear have a 24-point lead.
Q4 3:30William takes the ball to the 25 where Romo will start.
Q4 3:30Correction Romo will not start as he has been pulled from the game and Orton his backup comes into the game.
Q4 2:20The Cowboys move the chains as Orton fires to his tight end Escobar and he gets the six yards needed to get the first down on an out route.
Q4 2:00Randle gets the carry on a draw play and he sprints right up the middle of the field for a 19-yard gain to move his side to the Chicago 46.
Q4 1:54Orton fires to Austin deep down the left sideline on a curl route and he moves the chains with a 15-yard grab.
Q4 1:09The Cowboys can't convert on third down as Orton fires a deep pass looking for Austin in the endzone and they are going for it on for it on fourth down.
Q4 0:50The Cowboys get it as Randle powers through the middle of the line for a three-yard pick up.
Q4 0:24Dallas move right to the one-yard line as Orton fires deep for Williams but he's kept out of the endzone thanks to a good tackle from Bowman.
Q4 0:06Randle powers through the middle of the line and gets the score but it's too little too late for Dallas.
Q4 0:03Marshall gathers the onside kick and that should end the game.
Q4 0:00McCown kneels down and the game is over.
Q4 0:00FULL-TIME: Dallas Cowboys 28-45 Chicago Bears
4.40amThe Bears have given their playoff hopes a major boost with this hammering of the Cowboys as they move to 7-6 in their season and they only trail them thanks to a tiebreaker now and can take the lead in the division on Sunday with a win.
4.42amJosh McCown and his offense had their way with the Cowboys defense as they didn't punt once and put up 45 points and it could have been more had they been more cut-throat at the end of the game, but the backup to Jay Cutler finished with four touchdown passes moving his record this season to 13 touchdowns to just one interception along with a running score. He has really put himself in the frame to win the starting job.
4.45amThe Dallas defense has a lot of injuries but their play in this game was nothing short of appalling. They didn't give their offense any chance to do much as they just kept up giving up points as they had no answer for the Bears' receivers especially Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
4.46amChicago can now an attempt to make a real go of their playoff run if they can keep playing like this, meanwhile Dallas have a lot of work to do with their defense to get back on track.
4.48amThanks for joining our commentary this evening. We'll be back with all the action from the NFL on Thursday when the San Diego Chargers travel to face the Denver Broncos in the final edition of Thursday Night Football of the season. Until then, goodbye.

Coloring books for adults. They're so hot right now. (Triple points, by the way, to anyone who gets that movie reference.) They calm the amygdala which in turn helps you de-stress. Carl Jung even suggested coloring mandalas to relax. So clearly, if science and Jung are saying we should color, it's a thing.
The more relaxed you are, the more able you are to tap into your creative energies. The more you feel at ease with your brain, the more productive you'll be.
That means, when it's late and you're on deadline. Or you're writing a short story and the inner goblin whispers quietly that "You suck. This will never work out." Or when you've been sitting in front of your notebook trying to write but nothing happens.
Stop what you're doing. Stop the struggle and just color.
And what would any blog post be without at least a few links to some free downloadable coloring pages.
Parade has a whole lotta links to all kinds of coloring books. From happy cats to Japanese designs to a page from The Secret Garden coloring book by Johanna Basford. And they update and add new pages moving forward.
Then there's Dover Publications on Pinterest. I love Dover for all their copyright free art, and now it's yours for the coloring! (This is where I got those giraffes, by the way. GIRAFFES! WHEEEE!)
And while we're talking Pinterest, there's an entire section for adult coloring pages, which sounds kind of like it would be pornographic. It's not. Sorry.
And finally, while not a free downloadable, this Badass Feminist Coloring Book by Ijeoma Oluo is definitely worth a look. Full disclosure: Quite a few of my own badass feminist writer friends are in there for your coloring joy.
Then there is the DR WHO COLORING BOOK COMING SOON! So get your blue crayons ready. (H/T Chris Rachael Oseland. Read her amazing interview about how-to self publish here.
Also, Unicorns Are Jerks: A Coloring Book Exposing the Cold Hard Sparkly Truth by Theo Nicole Lorenz. (H/T Megan Larkin.)
And for God's sake, let me know if I missed any good coloring books!

Is it higher for different shifts? How do raises work? Does one get yearly/anniversary raises like at UPS? Also, is there a cap on the wage?

Get The Facts: Commonly Asked Questions About E Cigarettes
Have you ever heard of e-cigarettes? Don't worry! Many folks haven't heard of these products. E-cigarettes, also known by electric, electronic, vapor or smokeless cigarettes, look very similar to actual cigarettes. But, rather than creating smoke, e-cigarettes produce water vapor. This water vapor often contains nicotine but not the 4,000+ substances that cigarette smoke has in it. In fact, the electronic cigarette mist is based on glycerin or propylene glycol.
21 Questions People Will Commonly Ask About Electronic Cigarettes
1 – What's The Idea Of An Electronic Cigarette?
The idea is to simulate smoking. Smoker can still smoke, and have a stick in his/her hand, but without inhaling the harmful tobacco smoke. With e-cigs, liquid (that contains nicotine) is heated up and turned into vapor. User inhales this vapor.
2- What Are The Parts Of An E-Cigarette?
Here is a picture of a 3-piece e cigarette. 2-piece models have atomizer and cartridge combined together (which is called "cartomizer").
3 – How Is The E-Smoke Generated
There is e-liquid inside the cartridge (either in a tank or absorbed in a cloth). When you draw, battery gives power to the atomizer and it heats up the liquid, generating "smoke".
4 – Does The Mist Get Hot?
The vapor mist that the e-cigarette expels is not hot so there's no worry about being burned by it.
5 – What Is E-Liquid?
E-liquid (also called e-juice) is a glycerin or propylene glycol-based liquid that's sold in small bottles. If you're using the three-piece cartridge e-cigarette, you'll need to purchase the e-liquid. 2-piece e-cigs have all pre-filled cartomizers.
6 – What Is The Nicotine Volume?
Nicotine volumes are measured in milligrams. However, some are measured in percentages. A full strength nicotine cartridge is around 16mg; a light nicotine volume is 12mg. All the producers have also nicotine-free juice available.
7 – What Comes In A E-Cigarette Kit?
If you're going to use e-cigarettes, you'll need the starter kit to get going. A kit will have everything you need including five to 10 replacement cartridges. After the cartridges have been used, you'll need to purchase either the e-liquid or replacement cartridges. What comes in the typical e-cigarette starter kit?
- Cartomizers for the 2-piece e-cig (or cartridges, atomizers, and e-juice for the 3-piece model)
- Battery (or two)
- Charger (USB, wall and sometimes a car charger)
- User manual
8 – Should You Go With Pre-Filled or Empty Cartridges?
More and more folks today are going with already filled cartridges over the empty ones. With prefilled cartridges, you just put the battery and cartridge together and start using the device. It's considered the more convenient option to using electronic cigarettes.
With an empty cartridge, you'll need to purchase the e-liquid before you can use the device. While this is the less expensive option, it's also the messier one. You'll have to add in the right amount and ensure the cartridge isn't leaking.
9 – Should You Go With The Two or Three-Piece E-Cigarette Design?
There are some marked differences between the two designs. The two piece e-cigarette comes with the battery and cartomizer. You cannot re-fill the cartomizers, they need to be replaced when empty. This method is convenient and clean.
In the e-cigarette's three-piece design, you get the battery, cartridge and atomizer. The cartridges will need to be replaced on a regular basis with the atomizer being replaced every two to three months. With the three-piece design, cartridges can either come filled or empty that must be filled with e-liquid.
Which one should you use? It's all a matter of preference. The two-piece e-cigarette design is convenient but a little more pricy than the three-piece e-cigarette design. The majority of e-cigarette manufacturers produce the two-piece design because they want to offer convenience to their customers.
10 – What Is The Average Length Of Time For A Cartridge?
Most times, a cartridge is equal to one package of regular cigarettes. However, this will depend solely on the e-cigarette company. Some companies will have short-lasting cartridges; Green Smoke cartridges tend to last a bit longer.
11 – How Do You Refill The Electronic Cigarette?
The only time you have to worry with cartridge refill is if you've got an older three-piece e-cigarette model that comes with empty cartridges. To refill them, you'll need to separate the atomizer from the cartridge. Use the pipette to place the drops of liquid in the cartridge. Once you fill the cartridge, put the atomizer and cartridge together and connect it to the battery.
12 – How Do You Smoke Electronic Cigarettes?
Smoking an e-cigarette is a little different from smoking an actual cigarette. You'll have to heat up the atomizer first to get the bigger vapor amount. This is done by taking small puffs first and then taking bigger ones. The difference is noticeable but can be gotten used to.
13 – What Kind Of Flavors Do E-Cigarettes Have?
E-cigarettes come in a number of flavors, not just menthol or tobacco. They come in apple, cherry, coffee, strawberry, vanilla, etc. And, you'll be delighted to know that they taste similar to an actual cigarette without being hard on the throat.
14 – Can You Use E-Cigarettes To Stop Smoking?
E-cigarettes can be a good replacement to regular cigarettes, and many folks using e-cigarettes forgo regular cigarettes. However, it's not the surefire way to eliminate the nicotine addiction. Many e-cigarette manufacturers do produce various nicotine levels so users can wean themselves down.
15 – Are You Able To Smoke E-Cigarettes Anywhere?
With so many businesses and buildings banning regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes definitely have an advantage. Since e-cigarette produces vapor, not smoke, people can smoke them wherever and whenever they want without the fear of being escorted out or harassed. Bear in mind though… e-cigarettes look much like regular cigarettes so people may confuse the two and may initially say something to you.
16 – What Sizes Do E-Cigarettes Come In?
E-cigarettes are found in a number of sizes including the size of an actual cigarette. There are some companies who produce bigger designs to ensure the battery lasts longer and the vapor amount is larger.
17 – Should You Purchase An Automatic or Manual Battery?
When you purchase an e-cigarette, you have the option of an automatic electronic cigarette battery or a manual one. The automatic battery works by heating up the liquid when you start puffing the cigarette. In the manual battery option, there's a button you need to press to begin heating up the liquid.
While most folks see the automatic option as more convenient, the manual one gives users more control over the vapor amount. V2 Cigs has an automatic and manual battery in their starter kits. Most other brands have just the automatic battery.
18 – USB E-Cigarettes: What Are They?
USB e-cigarettes get power from a computer's USB connection. Thus, you can only smoke them near a device with a USB port. Today, many manufacturers have added USB connections to their starter kits.
19 – Disposable E-Cigarettes: What Are They? Should You Use Them?
Disposable e-cigarettes are a one-time thing. They're generally less expensive than an actual starter e-cigarette kit, which is good if you're not sure if the option is right for you.
20 – What Brand Of Electronic Cigarette Is Best?
There are a number of electronic cigarette brands on the market. However, one of the better ones is White Cloud despite its expensive price tag. A bit cheaper is Green Smoke, that provides excellent quality as well. But if you want a reasonably priced e-cigarette, consider South Beach Smoke or V2 Cigs.
21 – Where Can You Purchase E-Cigarettes?
The best place to get your e-cigarettes is the Internet. Many e-cigarettes sold in brick and mortar stores are often low quality, which can lead to problems with them. When in the market for an e-cigarette, do some research and look for reviews before you buy just anything.
Do you have additional questions about e-cigarettes? Then, feel free to send them on. We'll be delighted to answer them for you.

Wisconsin Home Security Systems
Wisconsin enjoys a violent crime rate that is lower than the national violent crime rate by nearly 45%, and a nonviolent crime rate that is lower than the national average by over 2%. In 2009, there were 26,740 burglaries recorded in Wisconsin; and in 2010 there were 26,475, which marks a 1% decrease from 2009 to 2010, according to CityRating.com and WI.gov.*
The average loss per burglary in Wisconsin in 2010 was $1,631, and approximately 16% of burglaries were cleared. About 52% of Wisconsin burglaries involved forcible entry. In general, cities with populations under 50,000 had lower burglary rates, while larger cities had higher burglary rates.
For residential burglaries, where time of the incident could be established, 64% occurred during the day -- between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Burglary is one of the most commonly committed crimes, and with low clearance rates, it is unlikely that victims will recover their stolen property

The only thing more fulfilling than hearing people say my book helped them is strategizing with aspiring food entrepreneurs or small food businesses pondering their next step.
Recently I found myself in the hot seat at the 2015 Craftcation Conference, curious to see how far we could get in a 15 minute strategy session. Pretty darn far. (They say tasks take only as long as the time you give them.)
The interesting thing is how universal the questions were. Of course, it's the specifics of life — your circumstances, goals, financial needs, interests — that make every answer unique.
Do any of these sound like your challenges?
- We've done x, y & z so far; how do we decide which way to go with the business next?
- I've been making x ___ for years. How can I turn that into a business? And should I?
- I'm making my food products part time in a restaurant at night. Should I start a business out of my house or a commercial kitchen next?
I'd tell you but they'd have to kill me. Seriously though, the answers are less important than plotting the next steps in the hero's journey.
Join Me Online At the Maker Mentors Conference
I'm excited to be participating as a mentor in the Maker Mentors conference, a live online conference for creative business owners May 14-16.
