Key Sera Sera - 2009 Chestnut Mare
(Minion Millennium x Fascination Street)
This daughter of Minion Millennium out of a daughter of Bourbon Street is such a happy girl. "Sera" has an easy going personality and a wonderful work ethic, just like her daddy. On the books, "Sera" is a four yr. old, but her actual foaling date is May 13. This "baby girl" stands nearly 15.2 and is still growing. She is playful, sweet, and a real lover. If she were a dog, you could expect her to be curled up on the couch next to you or playing catch.
Key Sera Sera has had a very busy two years. For 2012 she was shown as a 3 year old in Western Pleasure Junior Horse, winning most of her classes. She returned to the show arena in 2013 continuing as a 4 year old in Western Pleasure Junior Horse. She won her qualifying class at NYS Breeder's and was then shown at New England, where she placed sixth in the qualifier and in the Championship.
Key Sera Sera is the GN 4yr. old Western Pl. Champion mare, also placing in the Top Ten WC 4 yr. old Western Pl. Class out of 16 entries at the 2013 World Championship.
Key Sera Sera took a third in the highly contested Morgan Hunter Pl Open Championship at Syracuse International Horse Show; June 25-28 2014. Rider; Lindsay Perry, Judge Fay Lowry. This was her second show as both Western Pl. and Hunter Pl. Watch her video below.
JNP Total Eclipse - 2004 Black Mare
(Simply Maserati x L'Cima My Flaire Lady)
"Zora" is currently in training, preparing for her 2012 Show Season with her Junior Exhibitor rider, Karli, in the Junior Exhibitor - Hunter Pleasure division classes. JNP Total Eclipse was shown successfully during the 2011 Show Season in the Hunter Pleasure division in the Amateur, Novice, Maiden, Limit and Open classes. "Zora" did quite well in all of her classes, winning the Novice and Maiden classes that she had been entered. She also held her ground with mounts who have been shown in the Hunter Pleasure division for some time. It's hard to miss the beautiful black mare with the half-moon star, who has the stamina to out work just about every horse in a class.
In 2009, "Zora" was moved into the breeding shed to accommodate Creekside Morgans attaining one of the last contracts let to the public for six time World Champion, CCR's Outrajus Corajus. Sadly, on March 23, 2010, "Zora" gave birth to a perfectly formed, very large, still-born colt.
Key Memory - 2008 Chestnut Mare
(HVK Bell Flaire x Nanton's Marcia A)
"Dallas" is bred royally, a daughter of HVK Bell Flaire, grand daughter of Noble Flaire, and Tedwin Topic, with a lineage tracing back to Waseeka's Nocturne, Waseeka's Command, Vigilmarch, and Trophy. Key Memory is proving to be a contender in the Competitive Trail/Endurance division. This mare is known as the "Everyready Bunny" in the barn, because she can go all day without tiring. Her greatest contribution, though, may be in the breeding shed. Shown only in the In-Hand divison, where she's won blue and tricolor ribbons, she is ridden by a Junior Exhibitor.
LPV Excalibur - 2001 Bay Gelding
(Aquarian Royal Comment x LPV Elegantly Supreme)
If you are looking for a horse that is easy to maintain and have around the barn, "Rocky" is you guy. LPV Excalibur is well suited to a game rider, who wants a sporty mount. "Rocky" enjoys his work and being worked.
LPV Excalibur has a solid show career maintaining top ribbons in multiple divisions: English Pleasure, Classic Pleasure, Junior Exhibitor, Pleasure Driving. He was named by Saddlehorse Report as one of the Top Ten Pleasure Driving horses in 2006 and 2007, and again in 2010 in the Junior Exhibitor - English Pleasure/Classic Pleasure division he was ranked 13th, quite an accomplishment when showing in two divisions. "Rocky" is equally happy on the trail, willingly takes the lead position or travels the trail as a solo horse. He is a good boy and a friendly chap who enjoys his human companions.
His pedigree speaks for itself, carrying Morgan royalty on both top and bottom. He is pretty, long-necked, and has a personality to match.
LPV Grand Design - 1998 Chestnut Gelding
(Saddleback Sirius x Niobrara Lady Trophy)
Smart, smart, smart, and capable of doing just about anything, except jumping. "Tony" has the ability to trot level with plates and can drop his head for the most elegant jog and teacup canter. He is trained to drive and enjoys doing so. Athletic and solidly built, LPV Grand Design is of old Morgan style.
"Tony" was born on the plains of Nebraska. The Morgan breed was known for its versatility, and easy keeping ways, LPV Grand Design exemplifies these charactieristics. He is a real character, too. "Tony" holds many Champion and Reserve Championship titles from the most competitive arenas, but his real love is the trail and playing with the kids. A kind and gentle guy, he is often cast as the baby sitter for weanlings and other horses.

Full Caf Americano®
That is Piers Morgan and Michael Moore: one of whom is enjoying swinging from his golden parachute or whatever CNN gives ratings-fail hosts who can never go home again, and the other who is probably binge snacking and wondering why Blockbuster had to go out of business.
Twitchy [comments italicized]:
Former CNN host Piers Morgan and left-wing documentarian Michael Moore had a lot to say this weekend about the shooting that occurred Friday night in Isla Vista, Calif., near U.C. Santa Barbara:
Because, what? Three less European Jews won't be missed?
God knows Eliot Rodger's doctors didn't; they treated him for 16 years and no one managed to document him as a crazy. But gun store owners are supposed to intuit these things by osmosis. Because liberal.
Strangely, Morgan and Moore haven't said one word about a shooting spree that killed at least three people nearly 24 hours ago at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium.
You really have to see this on Twitchy because the tweets are days old now, and people have gone back to forgetting who Piers Morgan is, and Michael Moore is back to being lost in aisles at the Stop 'N Go; but it is ironic that Brussels is almost a complete #gunfreezone and an anti-Semite still managed to shoot multiple Jewish people to death.
And neither Michal Moore nor Piers Morgan noticed.
Well, I suppose it's trendier in the Ozium cleansed enclaves of L.A. and Manhattan to spout antigun BS.
And easier than trying to explain the fact that machetes, knives and hammers were the first weapons of choice for a disgruntled liberal freak to use on hot sorority sisters who refused to put out for geeks.
Or Piers and Michael could just shut up.
Plus they've got all the great ice hockey, eh, Michael?
O Canada!
With glowing hearts we see thee rise…

You're Not From Around Here...
Northeastern Indians living away from home are tested in an environment where bigotry often overpowers education and understanding
Samar Delhi
The recent deaths of Northeastern students Dana Sangma and Loitam Richard in two distant, geographically and culturally separate parts of India have been embellished with many adjectives of differing connotations. Savage, discriminatory, accidental, and unsurprising are some of them.
There are bound to be conflicting opinions when elements like anger, outrage and loss stew in the same pot as issues of public image and bureaucracy. What, however, is unquestionable is the fact that these two "cases", regardless of the empirical realities, causes, and motivations, have again carted into the limelight the circumstances of Northeastern Indians living away from home.
Dana, 21, from Meghalaya, an MBA student in her first year at Amity University, Manesar (Haryana), was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her hostel room on April 24. She had been earlier accused of cheating in an exam, using her mobile phone. When she protested, she was allegedly humiliated by the invigilator and her answer sheet torn up. Her uncle, Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, cried foul and urged a CBI probe. A case was registered under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) against the Amity University authorities after Dana's family filed an FIR. The city police also registered a case under the SC/ST Act against the Amity management.
Amity University authorities denied the allegations of discrimination and hinted at personal reasons as a probable cause of suicide. They claimed that Dana had been using her phone continuously for a few days and had been spotted crying in the hallway. Massive protests and public outrage demanding justice erupted in different parts of the country.
Richard, 19, was a Manipuri student in his second semester at Acharya NRV School of Architecture, Bengaluru. On the afternoon of April 18, he was found dead on his hostel bed. The post-mortem suggested physical assault. Richard's family and friends alleged that he had been beaten to death. S Sudhakar, the warden, has filed an FIR with the local police. The police later registered a case of murder under Section 174(c) under the CrPc (unnatural death).
Richard had allegedly had an argument with his roommate, Vishal Banerjee, over watching an IPL match. Another student, Sayed Afzal Ali, reportedly intervened and pounded Loitam on the head and face. Following this, Richard returned to his room and was found dead the following day.
According to the Bangalore Superintendent of Police (Rural), there were 11 injuries to the head. Five were old wounds. The college authorities tried to divert the issue, painting Richard as a drug addict.
Not all investigations have been completed, so there is too much grey area to condemn with certainty or display righteous anger. At the very least, these incidents can be instrumental in cultivating social awareness about the lives of Northeastern Indians who find themselves a small minority when they go to other cities for work or studies. It is obvious that, regardless of whether there were sectarian overtones to the aforementioned cases, there are serious issues to be addressed.
Surprisingly, few people in Delhi, have good friends from the Northeast. There are enough people hailing from the Northeast living in the city for many to be acquainted with at least a few of them; but there is a deficit of interest and effort to integrate in the fast-paced, judgemental, and suspicion-filled metropolis.
Not all Northeastern people migrate by choice, either. Nobokishore Urikhimbam is the general secretary of United NGO Mission, Manipur (UNMM), based in Imphal. His organisation works for peace-building between various ethnic groups in Manipur. He explained why Northeastern Indians regularly feel the need to leave home: "Due to the lack of institutions, limited employment opportunities, rampant ethnic conflict, and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), many young people are left with no choice but to get away," he told Hardnews.
'Life can get challenging here if you're young, female and from the Northeast. People use racist language. I have been called a 'chinky', a 'Nepali'. People can assume that you're a prostitute if you're on the streets at night, at bars or nightclubs'
The Additional Director General of Police, Assam, R Chandranathan, based in Guwahati, spoke to Hardnews on phone. "The police are not particularly sensitised to their problems. Northeastern women are frequently objectified because of their sense of dress. Some find it difficult to adjust to the cultural imbalances regarding things like food and language," he said.
Language is a major factor in this larger alienation. None of the languages prevalent in our better developed cities are first languages for Northeastern Indians. This barrier causes problems and misunderstandings, especially for recent arrivals. In Delhi, both their Hindi and English accents are often ridiculed. The ones not entirely comfortable with Hindi or English can come across as elementary or immature in speech or sense of humour, which is only natural, given that it is not their mother tongue. It takes considerable time to pick up the nuances. Imagine a person from Kashmir going for the first time to Chennai to study and expected to be fluent in Tamil!
A Northeastern undergraduate student had disturbing experiences to relate about in Delhi University's North Campus and her life around the city. "Life can get challenging here if you're young, female and from the Northeast. People use racist language at times. I have been called a 'chinky', a 'Nepali', and even a 'kancho', whatever that is. People can assume without reason that you're a prostitute if you're on the streets at night, or at bars or nightclubs. I am not comfortable alone. They also see no distinction between the different states and cultures of the Northeast region. We are all the same to them."
Not everybody has such a negative assessment of the scenario. Rinku Pegu teaches at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) in New Delhi. She came from Assam in 1995 to study at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). "The fact that I was Assamese was never really an issue as far as my life in Delhi is concerned. Assam is highly Sanskritised. It is tuned into mainstream culture," she said.
However, as far as the Northeast is concerned, people love clichés. They hold them, caress them, defend them, take them out on dates, get drunk and make love to them. They fall prey to this immortal tool of conversational convenience. Why not? It is a big saver. It saves time, responsibility, and above all, it saves the effort to truly understand complexities.
The drugs, guitars, football, are, of course, actualities. The westernised fashion sense, skimpy dresses, music festivals, the Northeastern momo-point owner in Vasant Kunj in South Delhi are actualities. They do have a remarkable subculture within their, for lack of a better word, diaspora. However, as any cliché will eventually tell you, not everybody and perhaps not even most people, fall under it. In fact, most don't. It is hard, though, to move beyond the stereotypes when there exists such a dysfunctional mutual understanding.
There is also an acute lack of curiosity. The locals, and the people from other parts of the country mingle only rarely and inconsistently with their subculture and heritage. This has led to estrangement, distances, and has bred ignorance. Northeast Indian youth engage in all the normal activities that others do. They have their own drinking scenes, their own football games. Surely, due to alienation, they usually remain inclusive; their social circle stays dangerously homogenous. And, naturally, to an extent, so does everyone else's.
At a time when we boast of a fast-expanding national consciousness and use phrases like "heartbeat of a billion people", we should perhaps attempt to lend some credibility to such claims. The issues of Northeast people should be endorsed on an everyday basis, and not just when it appears fashionable to do so. The distance, the poor political representation, the sexist climate, the easy typecasting can be overcome. What cannot be undone is the fact that, when authentic change does occur, Dana and Richard will not be around to witness it.

OPPO has installed a high quality 8MP front-facing camera on this one complete with a f/2.0 aperture lens, 1/4-inch sensor. It even features OPPO's own patented Screen Flash that converts the phone's screen into a camera flash. The results are great selfies all the time. The 13MP main camera supports HDR, delivering sharp images with vivid colors.
Phone also boasts of a premium feel and design, thanks to the full-body metallic frame. Surface is velvety because the material was treated with zircon sand surface coating for that smooth and attractive finish according to OPPO. Other specs include a 5.0-inch screen, 3GB RAM, 16GB built-in storage, Qualcomm Snapdragon Octa-core 64-bit chipset (MSM8939), and a 2500 mAh battery. First released in Vietnam last week, the OPPO F1 runs ColorOS 2.1 which is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
The rounded edges give a streamline and sleek look but we all know that's something very familiar. It looks a lot like an iPhone 6 and the rest of the clones out there. No word on exact availability but it's ready for pre-order HERE with a €229 ($249) price tag.

UPDATE 6 FEBRUARY 2013 – Flowers of Manchester RIP
It's taken me sometime to get round to updating this blog but today seemed an appropriate day to do so, considering Eric himself was a Busby Babe pre-Munich and a friend of Duncan Edwards.
Sadly & unfortunately, Eric Bell, ex-Manchester United amateur and scorer for Bolton Wanderers in the legendary 1953 FA Cup Final passed away last July in Wythenshawe. The first I heard of it was an email out of the blue from Eric's granddaughter Sonya, late on a Sunday evening, only the day after he died. The email mentioned how the family had found and enjoyed this blog I'd written and they thought I'd want to know.
I'd been dozing off on the sofa after a rare sunny day but quickly found myself pouring a whisky to help digest the sad news as I revisited old memories. I was genuinely upset but at the same time I felt a tinge of pride that the blog had found a way to it's original subject.
After a couple of email exchanges the following day, I was told that Ivy, Eric's wife had read the blog to him and though he was suffering terribly from Alzheimers, the sentiment had sunk in.
This meant so much to me and I so hope it did.
My father and I went to Southern Cemetery the following week to pay our respects and to say I was choked with emotion was an understatement. I was completely engulfed by goosebumps as a huge chunk of my blog was used as part of the eulogy. To the extent that I nearly had to excuse myself, due to this strange feeling that gripped me. It was such an honour. Though my father had a heavy cold and had to go home, I stayed on and joined the family afterwards and though a sad occasion it was lovely to catch up after so many years.
On a sad day for English football, tonight was definitely the time to close the loop on this story and though I suspect his religious belief would have otherwise, I personally hope Eric is tonight kicking a football about in heaven with the Babes.
I promised Ivy I'd keep in touch and have finally made contact this evening, sending pictures of my boys and sharing family news. I won't leave it so long next time. Rest in peace Eric.
Eric Bell: Footballer who scored in the 'Matthews Final'
Eric Bell: The only footballer to prove Sir Matt Busby wrong – dies at 82
Bolton Wanderers Club Statement
The original blog from 2009 >>>
Growing up in Manchester is always going to bring you into direct contact with footballers past and present. Some of these experiences are extremely pleasant like sharing a flight from Schiphol to Milan with ex-United 60s/70s player Carlo Sartori back in 1999 to watch United play Inter (I had played Sunday league football with Sartori Jr as a boy and my dad also knew the family through the deli).
Brought up in Collyhurst, Carlo played 55 times for United but had now settled near myself in Wythenshawe. He'd come down and watch us play for Hazel Grove as kids but when I boarded the flight in Amsterdam I hadn't seen the old man for donkeys years but still, someone who had shared changing rooms with the likes of Best, Law and Charlton, remembered his boy's old teammate. I was honoured.
Equally memorable, if a little distant, was having Roy Keane and his dog watching me deliver the closest performance I will ever deliver to the man himself on a Hale Sunday league park a few years ago. He simply couldn't walk away from the action and I'm so glad I reserved the one decent performance of my senior career for that day alone.
Other experiences were less pleasant. Like when Brian Kidd told this wannabe 12 year old, during a coaching session that I "don't know how to kick a ball properly". Surely there was a nicer way to destroy my one and only dream at that time? I was to later prove Kiddo wrong by being voted the 2004 Red News 5-a-side Player of the Tournament.
What did he achieve?
However, one experience warms the heart and always raises my spirits above all others. A story of a footballer from a bygone era. In fact I had to remind myself of something I was told a long time ago by his wife and seek out Sir Matt Busby's pre-Munich autobiography. A rare find but thanks to Ebay mine for the bargain price of £3.50. I'll come back to this.
It's not often that an 'unknown legend' is your next door neighbour for the first seventeen years of your life but that description would apply to Eric Bell, once of Bolton Wanderers and previously a Manchester United amateur. Mr Bell actually to me. And Mrs Bell, or Ivy to my mum and dad. A lovely couple who were neighbours in the true sense of what it used to mean.
We lived on the corner of Peel Hall Road, they lived next door on the corner of Simonsway. A stranger configuration of ground floor flats you will not find anywhere but their back door backed onto our kitchen window which opened out to the courtyard/car park which is where the story began.
Me and our kid must have played a thousand games of football out there (on our own, with each other, with other local kids) before I realised the importance of who he was. Before that, he would walk by, say hello, smile, offer sporadic and hushed advice on crossing, heading, whatever we were upto and we'd just think 'yeah, whatever old-timer, leave it to the whippersnappers'.
Twenty years on, I can't remember how I found out, but Eric wasn't just any professional footballer. His main claim to fame was that he scored in the cup final of cup finals. The 1953 FA Cup final to be precise. Sir Stanley Matthews and all that. In fact, not many people know this but Stan Mortensen notched a hat-trick that day (gutted or what for it to be known as the Matthews final after you've banged in three at Wembley). And though Matthews eventually ran riot on the right wing it was only because his adversary for the day, Eric Bell, was struck down with a torn hamstring – the sort of injury that has the modern player leaving the field on a stretcher.
To Eric's great credit and with no substitutes back then he gamely battled on, hobbling round the pitch, even grabbing his headed goal after the injury happened. Incredible stuff – surely no other man has ever scored with such an injury in such an important match. I will quote a little extract from this detailed match report elsewhere on the internet.
"Even given the ultimate joy of scoring in an FA Cup final, Bell's body and facial expressions betrayed the agony he was feeling as he wheeled away to be congratulated by his teammates"
Eric had put Bolton 3-1 up (the winning goal?)…but of course Blackpool fought back to beat Bolton 4-3 and Matthews was immortalised forever after. But surely Bell's heroics weren't only recognised by his young neighbour in Wythenshawe…
"Not only was it obvious that Eric Bell's injury made a massive difference to the outcome of this game it was simply distressing having to watch a man in such obvious pain risking more serious injury in a desperate attempt to help his team prevail"
And what happened to Eric?
Well in Sir Matt's 1957 autobiography, I refer you to page 130…where Busby reveals that of all the exceptional young players he moved on through the Babes era, only Eric Bell went on elsewhere to prove him wrong. Busby's tone is one of regret and if I was Mr Bell I would take that sort of verdict from here to eternity.
The year after the cup final, Eric was playing for England B (it meant something then) alongside the likes of Roger Byrne, Don Revie and Johnny Haynes. He was eventually ousted from his position in that team by the incomparable Duncan Edwards. No further comment necessary.
The following year Eric finally had the chance to represent his country on an FA tour of the West Indies but again misfortune struck and a broken leg on Easter Saturday at Deepdale meant a certain Jimmy Hill took his place and Eric never got the same chance again, not with Duncan Edwards as competition.
I left home at seventeen and my mum and dad have since moved on, going their separate ways, so I've mostly lost touch with the Bells but a quick check on Wikipedia confirms that if he is well, Eric will be 80 this weekend. I know that in the latter years he'd struggled with some of the 'what ifs' in his life…the main one being the cruel misfortune that prevented him from representing his country, long before an international cap became something akin to scattering confetti at a wedding.
But misfortune aside Mr Bell achieved so much that I would ask all football fans anywhere and everywhere to raise a glass this weekend and toast a true gentleman and an unknown legend.
My neighbour, Eric Bell.

Earn More Money With Keywords and Quality Content
Free Google Keyword Tool
My new friend has become the Google Keyword Tool. Something amazing is happening to my Google Adsense – it is increasing. Instead of zero earnings, I am now seeing some small change there everyday. Why? Because I recently started using the Google Keyword Tool to help me located high traffic words. It is easy to find, just type in Google Keyword Tool in your search engine or url and the site will come up.
Listen, I am by far, an expert on Google Keywords, but I can tell you this – it works. When you are trying to decide on a title for your Hub and Content, I strongly recommend that you use the Keyword Tool Box. The reason you want to use the Keyword Tool Box is to determine what words people use to locate your article.
Good Explanation for Word Tracker
How The Tool Box Is Used
For example, if you have a Hub on Lounge Chairs, and you want to title it, "Lounge Chairs Are Very Comfortable" – you can type 'Lounge Chairs' in the tool box and then select 'Search" to find out if those words are being searched and how much competition there is for those words.
One of the best ways to understand the Keyword Tool is to go to the site and watch the video and listen to the tutorial. I understand some things about using the tool, but not everything.
Started Out On HubPages
When I came to HubPages, I did not know a thing about the Keyword Tool, just like many other Hubbers. Many people come to HubPages wanting to have an online business and make money and know very little about making money with Adsense or Amazon. The opportunity is available right here. Stick and stay until you accomplish your goal of making money. That is what I plan on doing. Are you with me? Think about this for a moment: How can you and I expect to learn something we never knew before and instantly become an overnight success? That is all I'm saying.
Plan Of Attack
Based on my plan and strategy, I can reach my goal of a first payout soon, within thirty - sixty days. It is a little ambitious, but doable. I can see how my last couple of Hubs has brought in some good traffic, and will mimic these for future hubs. By the end of February I should have about forty Hubs. I stepped away from HubPages for a while, and have not received an Adsense Payout. But listen to this good news, since I have returned, I have received an Amazon payout, and will receive another one this month.
Since I have been here, I have produced about two Hubs a week. Which has allowed me to see how my hubs are received. Going at a gradual consistent pace, helps me to note what people are looking for. Content that people are looking for would be considered 'quality' content. Quality content is also considered content that delivers the Google Ads to your content.
Do You Have Quality Content?
Quality Content satisfies the reader. When they come to your Hub they get what they came for or are directed to where they can get it. Quality is something that is well put together; well thought out; has a logical flow and meets the highest of standards. You can tell when an author has taken time to develop content - it shows in the product. It is not just thrown together. Quality content is like chatting or having a discussion with the author. Notice how the author walks you through the content as if you are on a journey.
There are some excellent writers/authors here on HubPages; I have read some great articles. I have read some Hubs, and said to myself, "mmm, mmm good." There are many professionals here that you can learn from.
Use the Google Keyword Tool. Write Quality Content.
These are two things you can do immediately to see an increase in your income:
- Use the Google Keyword Tool
- Write Quality Content
Do these two things consistently and simultaneously and you will see an increase in your Adsense. My goal is to bring Google Adsense to me through my content. It is my understanding that Search Engine traffic is the best. The Keyword Tool Box is free to use. Just go the site, and play around with it, you will see what I am talking about. And when you write, write for the reader. Put yourself in the reader's shoes and be empathetic. Pretend you are talking to someone, and answer his or her most burning question(s).
Read too! When you come across some captivating content, use it as an example or guide for your next Hub. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. It is said that if you want to be something, act like it already. I am an Adsense Affiliate, how about You? Let's act like it!
Hi, this is good information for new Hubbers and advanced Hubbers as well. Voted up.
I haven't used Google Keyword Tool yet, but I will begin to use it. I have been a hubber only 2 weeks and I am still finding out new things. Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable information.
I want to thank you for this well thought-out hub. Not only is it informative...it is also motivating. You have created a lasting impression. I have read many hubs on using keywords (keytool), but yours is the easiest to understand. Excuse me now, as I leave and visit google keytool. :)
I think you've defined the balance between keywords and quality content very well. I use the google keyword tool, too, and wish I would have understood it better a very long time ago (which isn't very long ago at all in e-years!).
Great hub with a lot of useful information and I'm bookmarking it for future reference. I've used the Google Keyword Tool a few times, but this hub was a reminder to use it every time I create a new hub.
It's a very useful Tool and I like the way you explained it - Many people will benefit from this Hub. Best Wishes. :)
Thanks for the tips. And thank you for the inspiration to keep going. I am looking forward to making a habit of publishing regular hubs. It's just a matter of setting aside the time, I believe.
Wow, you're awesome. I never knew this, and it is sure to bless me as I seek to further my presence on hubpages as well as in other avenues of making extra money. Thank you Treasuresofheaven for this hub, you are a treasure, May God richly bless you.
Great information which helps all hubbers focus or refocus on the two things listed in your summary. Many will look to you for direction, and I pray that you prosper.
God Bless
As a newbie I'm still getting to grips with this. I don't think you realise at first that writing is only 50% of the job the other half is getting people to read it.
Good advice and nicely written.
Hiya my dear friend Treasures, I also use Google Keyword Tool but I still don't draw enough traffic.. I have to re-learn how to do it then. Thanks for the help. BTW, your hub is ok.. no split words.
Have a nice day,
Hi Treasuresofheaven,
Very true yes Google Keyword Tool is a great tool to increase quality traffic and earn more money.
Thanks for sharing this great info about Google Keyword Tool.
I always use Google Keyword Tool. Have a wonderful day.

Summary: this case involved the claim of a 61 year old male asserting disability based on chronic and long standing back pain, and weekly migraine headaches.
Client profile: 61 year old male
Education: high school graduate + some college; also 20+ years in army
Past work: assembly line worker at glass tubing factory for 15 years until his retirement due to excessive absences due to chronic pain
Claim background: my client filed for benefits in February, 2010 alleging an onset date in April, 2009. A hearing was held in the Atlanta area in January, 2012 before a judge well known to me who is very direct and wastes little time evaluating claims.
Factors in our favor:
- my client is over age 50
- my client has a long and consistent work history
- my client has a VA service connected disability rating of 70%
- my client tried conservative (non-surgical treatment) at the VA that did not work and he subsequently underwent surgery. There were complications with the surgery and he now has numbness radiating into his left leg
Factors not in our favor:
- most of the records are VA records, which are difficult to read and contain a lot of duplication
- VA physicians rarely comment on functional limitations
- my client alleges that he has suffered with migraines for more than 20 years but he was able to work despite these headaches. I question, therefore, whether the judge would find these headaches disabling.
My strategy: the judge in our case expends very little time on preliminary or background matters. He does not use vocational witnesses. He has an uncanny ability to identify the main issues and to reach what I consider to be an accurate conclusion despite some very short hearings.
I knew that he would ask me for an opening statement that clearly identified the factual basis for our claim and I prepared in outline form a succinct overview of the case. I also prepared my client for a more traditional "full issues" hearing in the event that a different judge might be assigned the case or if our judge wanted more than he usually does.
Hearing Report: as expected, the judge originally assigned to this case was present. He introduced himself and then turned to me to ask if I had any objections to the evidence. He then asked me for an opening, which I provided. I emphasized my client's 20+ years in the military, his 70% VA disability rating, and 15 year tenure at the glass tubing factory. I discussed his efforts at reducing pain with conservative treatment and his resort to surgery. I noted that the surgery has not been successful in eliminating the numbness.
The judge asked me to confirm the 70% disability rating from the VA, which I did. The judge then announced that he would be finding my client disabled. The hearing was closed and my somewhat bewildered client and I left.
Conclusions: this was a very straightforward back injury case involving an older claimant with a clear and consistent record of treatment and a partially successful surgery. In my view this case would have been approved by 98% of the judge before whom I appear.

At present only growers in the Western and Northern Cape are eligible to ship to the U.S. market. The South African Government has said exports from these areas should start in 2019.Zokwana said that the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) also has a good and long-standing working relationship with the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS).He said that through engagements with APHIS, South Africa intends to increase in volumes of fruit exported."The government of South Africa is fully committed to supporting and sustaining a world-class supply chain system for the South African fresh produce and perishables sector. This can only be achieved by good relations with strategic partners which includes the USA," he said."As counter seasonal producers, there is a potential good match in fresh produce trade between South Africa and the United States. Especially, the South African fruit industry has a highly sophisticated supply chain that exports to sophisticated markets all over the worl1d including the USA, the European Union and China."The Minister added that South Africa is promoting diversity of fruit exports including the new consignments of berries recently exported to the U.S. South Africa: Labor court stops striking workers a … October 24 , 2018

Vortechs Building Control Systems
The Vortechs Building Control System is comprised of distributed digital controllers and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), a dedicated computer and powerful Industrial grade Automation Software configured and programmed to run your building at peak efficiency.
Building personnel will find our Graphical Interface, which functions like an automobile dashboard, easy to learn and easy to use. A series of screens display key building information incorporating an easy to use control panel, floor plans, detailed system documentation, a scheduler and a full time facility guardian alarm system that can report a minor fault before it becomes a major emergency.
Individual pieces of equipment, such as chillers and air handlers, are controlled by proven sensors, switches, relays, valves and actuators that automatically read conditions and perform operations that control heating, cooling, ventilation and other critical functions in your building.
The information accumulated and stored in the Vortechs System documents energy consumption and equipment performance. This information shows where and when opportunities exist to curb and control excess usage and may be used to generate preventive maintenance schedules and other customized reports.
Engineering for Energy Conservation
There are situations that require that a project be planned long before it is installed. Under these circumstances, Vortechs will provide detailed plans for a building control system for use in budgeting, construction planning and equipment purchase.
Control System Commissioning
In new construction or for new equipment installation, Vortechs will verify and document that all components are properly installed and thoroughly tested to ensure that the building's requirements are met.
Control System Re-commissioning
Even the most well conceived control system will deteriorate over time. Changes in use, scheduling, partial renovation, component failures and equipment replacement will all impact how effectively a control system operates. For these systems, Vortechs provides Re-commissioning services. Re-commissioning includes a comprehensive inspection of control components, re-sequencing where required, software updates as appropriate, full testing and documentation of the entire system. The result is a building that runs efficiently and takes full advantage of its control system's capabilities.
Peak-Performance Contracts
Clients often prefer to have Vortechs involved in their building's performance on a continuing basis after installation, commissioning or re-commissioning. For this reason, Vortechs has developed a peak performance contract that includes consultation, site visits for repair of installed devices, remote response to alarms, remote management of system components, training and scheduled monitoring. The first year following installation of the Vortechs Control System is included in the cost of installation.
Vortechs provides a wide range of consulting services for energy related issues. We also act as liaison or owner's representative to assist in product selection and application.

fourth generation farmgirl
Quiet, cold, and crystal clear. This is the Green Hill Farm I woke up to on Saturday morning–the first snowfall of the season. And, there's nothing like the serene beauty of the country when it's blanketed with snow. All of the hustle and bustle and noise just seem to stop. I breathed in the peaceful views while realizing that the busyness of the day was only about to begin.
The farm looked shimmering and magical, but it also looked shivery and cold–somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 degrees F.–BRRR!! But, anyone who farms knows that's no excuse. Especially, when sheep, chickens, cats, and dogs are all waiting on you to take care of them. So, after applying layers of clothing and looking something akin to the little brother from the film, A Christmas Story, Farmguy and I headed outdoors to embrace what we love. The sense of meaningfulness and…

A Classic Blunder
Have you ever heard the story of "New Coke" and "Coca-Cola Classic?"
Back on April 13th, 1985, Coca-Cola took a risk by deciding to change the formula of its legendary cola. They did rigorous taste testing before settling on the new recipe, testing that showed the new formula was better. This decision caused unprecedented consumer protest as customers called, wrote, and generally expressed their frustration with this decision. They wanted the Coca-Cola they had grown up with, knew, and loved back. It only took the company 79 days before they released the original formula again as Coca-Cola Classic.
Here at Ryonet, we fell into making the same 'classic' blunder with our Green Galaxy Meteor White. When we switched from International Coatings to Wilflex as our ink manufacturer, we decided to try to make our ever popular Meteor White even better. So, we took it to the labs, reformulated and tested, and came up with Wilflex Epic Lava Meteor White, a "better" version of Meteor White.
Right away, we were met with dismay and protest. Those who had purchased the new Meteor White hoping for more of the same called us back to ask what had happened to the Meteor they loved. It's the same with most customers that we heard from, so we went back to the drawing board. It took us more than 79 days, but here we are, at the same place that Coca-Cola found themselves…
Back by popular demand, we're happy to (re)introduce you to Wilflex Epic Lava Meteor Classic, reformulated back to the Meteor White that so many loved and adored. Meteor Classic is the perfect white for printers who work with cotton garments.

I've just had a lovely review for my short story 'Tea' on Amazon,
- #31 in Books > Fiction > Gay & Lesbian > Short Stories
I've just had a lovely review for my short story 'Tea' on Amazon,
It's just gone seven thirty in the morning.
I sit at my desk and gaze out my office window, into the dark and wet December morning, and watch the rain dancing wildly in the small lakes that have formed in the holes in the road.
I refocus my eyes and see the every-changing streams of water flowing down the cold glass pane. They captivate me as I follow their chaotic paths and time starts to have no meaning.
Then, from the early morning gloom, a monster roars, its blazing eyes startle me back into the land of the fully awake. A truck races down the road smashing through the puddles, causing the water to fly free from its prison. In the wake of the machine, the rain quickly fills the potholes and starts its manic dance again.
I shake my head and pinch the bridge of my nose. A half heard tune on the radio suddenly makes me smile. It reminds me of you. Suddenly I can smell the fragrance of your hair, the touch of your fingertips and the taste of your lips. I reach out for my mug of tea as I close my eyes and think about your face; my beautiful princess.
The ballad finishes. I open my eyes.
Looking at my computer and keyboard, I place down my untouched mug and stretch my fingers as I prepare to do battle from my office tower.
'The Y Front Chronicles' is set in the year 3256, and is the diary of a born killer, hiding on-board a cruising Star Ship, deep in space.
The diary details his nine month stay on the Star Ship, his thoughts on his past, present and future, his lovers, his hamster, daytime TV, the adult film industry, and his constant search for a pair of comfortable underwear.
This darkly humoured book is dedicated to all the people who have felt far from home, lonely, out of place, without purpose and out time.
The story of 'Tea' is about a six hundred year old werewolf having tea with a seventy year old gay tailor. However, that is just the story it's not what the book is about.
The book is about – Being old, living with the choices you make through your life, unusual friendships, family, being brave, hiding what you are from the world and loneliness.
'Tea' is taken from a book of short stories called 'Stories for a Storm Filled Night', and is the most successful of my short stories released under their own cover. It has been downloaded just under 700 times around the world including USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan and India.
For 4 days in Nov 13 it held the No. 1 position in Free > Fiction > Short Stories in Japan (sold through Amazon)
'Tea' is part of 'The Storm Series' set of books, which currently include a trilogy, three books of short stories and a number of promo stories. The 'Storm Series is an adult, bittersweet, dark fantasy series that deals with relationships, loss, power, prejudice and ultimately, the true 'monster' that lurks inside of us.
Solomon Pace – Cold-blooded killer? Depraved evil sadist? A man just trying to make his way in the world? Or just deeply misunderstood? Of all my characters, Solomon Pace has to be one of the most complicated, but least understood.
In the "Storm Series" novels, he is always in the shadows, manipulating people and situations, and when he does come into the light, it is only to perform some dastardly deed before returning back into the inky gloom to continue his plotting.
With 'Tales of Solomon Pace' I knew straight away that I wanted to delve deeper into the background of the man and to give the reader glimpses of Solomon's past. To that end, I've produce a range of stories which will show different aspects of Solomon Pace, and give the reader additional insight to this very complicated and intriguing character.
When Ardo Met Ozzy is a very short promo story.
Like all of my short promo stories, it links in with my two novels Echoes of a Storm and Scions of the Storm. However, can be read as a standalone story.
When Ardo Met Ozzy features Ardo. For those of you who don't know who Ardo is, I have put a quick pen picture below.
Ardo is a large four-legged invisible creature. He is owned, if that is the correct word, by Twever, whom Ardo likes to call "the Idiot". Since no one except Twever (and one other person) can see Ardo, there is some debate as to what type of creature he is. Some people think he is dog, while others say he is more cat-like. When asked, Twever just says, "He looks like an Ardo!!"
Ardo's hobbies are: getting his ear scratched as much as possible, watching people have sex – he likes the faces they make – and killing small fluffy woodland creatures.
The book is very much a nod and a wink at wildlife/ nature programmes and certain popular erotic novels.

Over the last five years, nearly 40% of home improvement dollars have gone into kitchens, according to the 2013 Houzz & Home survey. According to this annual poll, people spent an average of $28k on kitchen remodels over the past 5Ys and another $10k+ on bathroom renovations.
We bring this up because the subject of home improvement came up recently in conversation as some friends were lamenting how hard it is to find a good contractor. They wanted someone who was responsive to their needs, answered their questions, offered competitive pricing and provided the products and services they were looking for. After listening to their horror stories, we became convinced there was a teaching opportunity for banks here. While home improvement and banking are clearly different industries, we see many lessons for banks on how NOT to do business that can be taken from contractors.
For starters, think about the last renovation project you did. How many contractors did you have to call just to get a few quotes? In our experience, contractors often ignore emails or phone messages from customers regularly. Perhaps the job is too small or the contractor is too busy or they just don't like dealing with customers. Whatever the reason, it is a given that a certain percentage of calls to contractors just won't be returned. This leaves homeowners frustrated and it cuts off a potentially rich referral source. The reminder for banks is that every customer and prospect is important, no matter how small, so remind your customer facing teams as the New Year begins. Even if a business relationship doesn't take root, it's important not to snub anyone, because angry people can do real damage through social media or word of mouth. You also never know what interactions will lead to new business down the road.
In the contracting world, not showing up when expected is another top complaint people have. Homeowners' time is valuable and they don't like to be stood up. The same is true for banking customers. They also don't want to be kept waiting, so make sure you're doing all you can to cut down on wait times, provide excellent and friendly service and solve problems quickly as they arise.
Contractors are also notorious for overpromising. They say a job will be finished on a certain date, when in reality it's closer to 2 or 3 times as long. This is frustrating to homeowners whose lives are often turned upside down during construction. In banking, we too need to be careful to deliver on promises we make related to service, products, and costs. The old adage to under-promise and over-deliver certainly rings true here. Again, remind your teams as you start the year for great success all year long.
Another pet peeve of homeowners related to contractors is when said contractors charge rates that are substantially different from their initial estimates. Likewise, bank customers don't like surprises when it comes to fees. Studies have shown that customers don't mind paying for certain services, but it is a good practice to be transparent about what the costs are to avoid surprises. Bluntly put, surprises work better for birthdays than they do for bank statements.
Finally, homeowners expect a lot from their contractors and rightly so. After all, it's their hard-earned money that pays for the project. Similarly, bank customers have the right to expect good service, good products and nice staff from their bank when they do business. Start the year right to avoid surprises.

As most of our investors know, OAD's fundamental work is to acquire and manage real estate assets that provide outstanding annual yields and IRR over the life of the investment. Our broader goal, however, is to provide a friendly and efficient way for our investors to preserve wealth through the unique benefits of real estate ownership, and one of the most important tools that we employ in that effort is called a Cost Segregation Study. Here's how the Cost Segregation Study works.
Each building has value, and over time that value lowers due to normal use and deterioration. A tax deduction called depreciation reflects this loss of value over time and allows a property owner to recover the costs of wear and tear.
In the past, a building was treated as a single asset, and each of the internal components that made up the building were all calculated into one single asset value which depreciated over 39 years. This meant that over the term of 39 years, your tax deductions would remain the same from year to year. The problem with this approach is that it is not tax efficient. The fact is that most components within a building do not last 39 years. Such components include carpeting, lighting, heating and cooling systems, landscaping and land improvements. It is very tax inefficient to have to depreciate an asset over 39 years that will truly be disposed of over a 5-year period or less.
A more favorable system exists that allows us to depreciate the individual assets within the building and accelerate the tax deductions much sooner, thus creating substantial wealth and cash preservation for our investors. With Cost Segregation, an IRS-recognized and approved technique, the individual assets are expensed based on their individual depreciable lives as opposed to being part of the building as a whole.
Short-term asset segregation of building components that are non-structural in nature include fixtures, flooring, cabinetry, internal piping, landscape, parking lots, land improvements, mechanical systems, lighting systems, special electrical work and building finishes. When you segregate these assets from the structural portions of the building, cost segregation can become a powerful tax planning tool for maximizing tax deductions that lead to great wealth preservation by allowing us to manage your investment in the most tax-efficient manner.
In the past year, OAD commissioned a series of cost segregation engineering reviews of eightdifferent properties. The cost segregation benefit included a reclassification of 39-year depreciation class life assets into 5 and 15-year class lives, resulting in a combined accelerated tax benefit of $21,547,171.60 for eight property purchases and improvements. A 481(a) adjustment was filed for catch up in total depreciation of $7,667,650 on all properties.
Legitimate, proactive tax planning along with a diversified approach is another way that investing in real estate assets with OA Development makes great sense as part of your overall investment portfolio strategy.
