The Best BookBub Ads of 2018
From BookBub:
In 2018, thousands of authors and book marketers used BookBub Ads, our self-serve display ads platform, to promote books to BookBub's millions of readers. As the end of the year approaches, we wanted to share some of the most successful BookBub Ads campaigns of 2018!
There are many ways to define a "successful" ad campaign because there are many different things you can accomplish with display ads. The following campaigns represent a diversity of genres and strategies, but each stood out to us in its own way — some had a high click-through rate, some had a low cost-per-click. Some cost thousands of dollars, others cost $100. One campaign ran for over two years, another for just a few days. But every one of them demonstrates the core elements that make for effective advertising on any platform: targeting a relevant audience with engaging creative that will capture their interest.
. . . .
Leighann Dobbs, Dead Wrong
Leighann ran a series of 13 three-day long campaigns for this book in February and March testing different single-author targets. She reached readers on all regions and retailers, and overall she had an average 4.5% CTR and over 6,000 clicks across all the campaigns. Leighann used CPM bidding, but with her narrow targeting she was able to pay an average rate of only $0.09 per click across the entire series of campaigns. A free deal and a cover that clearly communicates the book's genre (a title pun, a sassy illustrated heroine, and a cat definitely say "cozy mystery"!) can sometimes be all it takes to get readers to click.
. . . .
Melody Grace, Meant to Be
Melody set up four ads for this campaign, using each of the above images to target fans of a single romance author on two different retailers. The campaigns have been live with daily budgets for four months and counting, and so far, over 20,000 readers have clicked on one of these ads. Both images have performed equally well with the audience she's targeting.

Interview with a Fangirl: Christina G
I am continuing with my series of interviews with Fangirls that I have met through social media!
Today, it is my pleasure to interview Fangirl Christina G, a Disney Store Cast Member who loves everything about Disney, especially Star Wars!
I became aware of Christina through the Twitter Star Wars Fangirl Community.
Welcome Christina to The Adventures of The Everyday Fangirl and thank you for taking the time to answer these questions about being a Fangirl.
When do you realize you were a Fangirl?
Probably when I would have the urge to wear an item of clothing featuring something I was a fan of…haha.
How has social media helped or hindered you?
Social media has helped me in so many ways. The most important one is that I've gained many wonderful friends because we share the love for a fandom. I've gained one of my best friends because of us sharing our love for the same fandom. Social media has been a blessing to me & I hope that never changes.
When did you first see Star Wars or other favorite fandom, such as Star Trek, Lord of The Rings, etc. and did you love it right away or did this grow on you over time?
I actually was WAY late to the Star Wars fandom. I entered the fandom in late December of 2015 (after The Force Awakens came out). People were so pumped for this franchise, I wanted to see what it was about. I watched A New Hope, which is my favorite SW film, & I loved it. Ended up watching ESB right afterwards. Took me 3 days to watch the 6 movies. I guess you can say I loved it right away. I then watched TFA, Rogue One & even watched Star Wars Rebels. I continue to love love LOVE it.
What have you learned from the Star Wars fan community or other fan communities that has had a positive impact on your life?
I have learned that the Star Wars community is a family. Everyone is a part of this amazing community. We may have our different theories and favorite characters but in the end, we all stand by together to support this franchise that we have come to know and love. I was welcomed with open arms into this community & I am very happy to share my love for this franchise with others who love it as much as I do.
What else do you Fangirl about?
Disney has always been my first fandom. Grew up into Disney & I even work for them. I also fangirl about Supernatural & Marvel, mainly with Guardians of the Galaxy. But I am growing more into the Marvel Universe.
Anything else you want to say to others about being a Fangirl?
Don't be afraid to let your fangirl flag fly. Represent your fandom and show it off. You never know who else is a Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, etc. fan just like you.
Where can others interact with you?
You can connect with me via Twitter: @ganocj

Residential proxy service providers are quickly becomming the norm in lots of the areas of internet marketing. Because websites have become increasingly better at detecting proxies comming from datacenters, marketers have quickly adapted and switch to the real thing. Real 100% human, ip addresses that are at the same time used as proxies but also by people minding their own browsing.
Below you'll find a comprehensive list of the providers of such services and why you would want to give them your business. Soon you'll also be able to read a more in depth review of each provider.
1. Luminati
Luminati is the only proxy network that requires consent from its Residential peers, has tight compliance procedures for its customers and serves Fortune 500 enterprises
A peer to peer network of more than 39 million residential ip proxies. Luminati's network is so vast most of their IPs are not detected. They purportedly have nodes located in every city in the world. Their billing method consists of paying for bandwidth.
2. Anubis
Anubis is one of the new and bigger names on the residential proxy market. They allegedly have over 10 million worldwide IPs and 3 million ones from the United States. With Anubis you pay for access to ports and you have unlimited traffic.
3. Microleaves
Microleaves is the oldest dog in the backconnect residential proxies game. They boast over 26 million Broadband, DSL and Cable residential IPs. They are currently using a pay per port method but are currently working on switching over to bandwidth metering. Packages start from $125 per month.
4. Smartproxy
Though it started only in 2018, Smartproxy is quickly becomming a titan in the ranks of residential proxy providers. Their billing method consists of paying for bandwidth and starts from only 75$ per month for 5GB of data. Which is very cheap compared with some of the other options.
5. GeoSurf
GeoSurf provides digital solutions for businesses to manage their web and mobile content.
It enables its users to access premium proxy servers in more than 120 global locations to surf and view geo-targeted local content from other areas. It also emulates many mobile devices. The service is available as a browser toolbar, VPN client, Direct…
Their payment method of choice is also metered by the amount of bandwidth you use. Packages start from $300 per month for 38 GB.
6. OxyLabs
Oxylabs is a tech company specializing in large-scale web data extraction. We focus on helping companies extract essential business intelligence data. We own a pool of 1M data center proxies and a residential proxy pool with 30M+ residential IPs from more than 195 countries around the world.
Started in May 2017, they have 3 distinct payment methods: You pay for bandwidth for residential proxies, you pay for IPs for dedicated proxies and you can also pay for pages crawled using their real-time-crawler packages.
Boasting around 700k online socks proxies, Proxyrack also provides a residential VPN. Starting with packages from $60 for residential rotating proxies, proxyrack is also the cheapest option so far. They also offer USA and Mixed datacenter proxies.
8. StormProxies
Storm proxies was started by SEO experts in 2016 and their service is still mostly geared for people within the SEO community. Their service is unique so far because their proxies rotate IPs on every request as opposed to rotating them on a timer like the rest of the services.
9. NetNut
Started in 2017, NetNut's pricing model is based on bandwidth usage. While other providers are using a peer to peer (P2P) networks, the NetNut service depends on the unique position and location of DiViNetworks to server high availability, high speed, high bandwidth datacenter like residential ips.
P.S: In case you have no ideea what you've just read or what a proxy is you might what to start from here: What is a proxy?

Like most women in their late 20s, I've seen Legally Blonde approximately 1,700 times, yet will still gladly sit down and watch it in full every time it's on TV. During my 1,701st watching the other weekend, I happened to not be simultaneously playing with my phone and thus was paying attention during the scene where Elle's in the library trying to find a study group and half the supporting characters in the movie make fun of her for using the word "like."
It got me wondering about my own usage of the word "like." I knew I used it,
like well, quite a lot, an idea only confirmed when I texted a friend about possibly giving it up and used it twice just describing my idea. So when I got to work the next day, I pitched to my boss that I'd give it up for a week, except in cases where it was "supposed" to be used (i.e. "He looks like a troll"). She described my idea as "impossible, but good." I love a challenge.
Precisely 10 minutes after pitching this story, I messed up.
Me: I want to be there like 30 min
Sally: ahahhahahaha
this will be funny over gchat
I disclosed my experiment to a handful of coworkers, so I'd have people watching me for slip-ups. They were not encouraging.
At home that night, a friend came over for a Serious Life Chat with me and my roommate. I only slipped up twice, but since I was so conscious of the word, I noticed every time either of them used it — which was a lot.
*I started this experiment toward the end of the day.
I was very smug after day one (which, admittedly, was not a full day). I should not have been. Day two was not good. I had a 40-minute breakfast in the morning, during which time I managed to say "like" seven times. 😕 I told my breakfast companion about my experiment about halfway through, and she spent the rest of our meal catching herself every time she said it too. If I was going to go down, I was going to take everyone with me.
By 10:30 a.m. and 13 "likes" into the day, I was mad at myself for agreeing to this. Many of my slips were similar: For example, while complaining to a friend that I had a chia seed stuck in my permanent retainer, I said it took me "like, 20 minutes to get it out." Saying "about 20 minutes" or "roughly 20 minutes" just sounds so formal. Who talks like* that? Me now, apparently.
I did mostly OK just sitting at my desk talking to people via chat, because I had a second to catch myself and press backspace. IRL, not so much. In my 15-minute walk to grab lunch with a coworker, I used it six times — that I noticed. The hardest part is that even paying attention, I didn't necessarily realize if I used it, so my count might even be too low. And let's just not even talk about how often I used it chatting with coworkers on the way home from a Q&A about Amy Odell's new book — though when I told someone I was up to 28, she replied, "Oh, that's OK. I've probably said 'like' 28 times in the last 15 minutes."
*allowed usage
I did better on day three, probably because forgot I was doing this until lunchtime, so I didn't watch myself in a meeting I had with Cosmo China in the morning. If you can't remember using it, it doesn't count, right? To be fair, I did go back and check all my chats, where there were a few slips. My crowning achievement was a long meeting where I spoke pretty often, but managed to only use it three times. My life is sad.
I left work with a medium-size handful of "likes," feeling pretty proud of myself. Then I had a cocktail and split a bottle of wine with one of my closest friends, and it all went to shit.
It's really, really hard not to use "like" when you're telling a story, because you can't say, "He was like, 'Cheese is a food group', and I was like, 'OMG, I know,'" etc. You think it's easy to just switch and say "said," but when you get caught up in telling a story, it's near impossible not to slip. Also, you sound very formal. The good news is I'm probably now super prepared to meet the Queen.
I had a dentist appointment in the morning, which you'd think would be in my favor, but my dentist is very nice and personable, and I managed to say "like" twice despite having my mouth full of fingers and medieval torture instruments for 45 minutes.
A combination of being extra-determined not to mess up and having most of my day's discussions via typing helped keep my "likes" pretty low during the day. However, then I went out to a drink and dinner with my best friend and more than doubled my count. I knew at this point I was supposed to feel bad for failing miserably at this experiment, but I didn't. It's very hard to keep the flow of conversation going when you're pausing every time you catch yourself, and it's even harder to catch yourself when you're wrapped up in a good chat. I really, truly missed being able to use it freely, particularly when talking about my day and conversations with other people, and when I sounded unnecessarily formal in conversations with people I'm close with (i.e. "There were approximately three cheese pieces in my salad.").
I WAS SO GOOD ON DAY FIVE, thanks to it being Saturday and my day consisting of errands (silent/solo activity), yoga (silent/solo activity), watching many, many hours of Sex and the City and Jersey Shore reruns with my best friend (mostly just quoting funny lines back at each other), cooking dinner (silent/solo activity), and packing for an upcoming vacation (silent/solo activity). It appears the only way I can actually avoid saying "like" is to be by myself.
I was so not good on day six, as I spent the day with my extended family for Rosh Hashanah. Even eating enough food for about three people could not stop me.
Here's the thing though: 19 times is still, clearly, way fewer times than I normally use "like" in a day. I hadn't told any of my family members I was doing this experiment, and not one of them noticed the change in my speech. If the people I've talked to the longest/most in my life didn't notice its usage (or lack thereof), did anyone? Was this all pointless?
By day seven, I did feel bad — but about making other people self-conscious about their own speech patterns, not my failure. I only told a handful of people what I was doing, but after that confession, every single person proceeded to pause and blush when they caught themselves using "like." It was funny in the beginning, but after a while, it just made me feel guilty for making people feel bad about how they speak.
Day seven also included a lot of meetings — and therefore IRL convos versus chat — and a long walk and dinner with a friend, during which I had to keep taking out my phone to mark down my increasing "like" usage so I wouldn't forget.
For all the connotations of "like" making you sound less smart, I actually thought I sounded dumber not using it. Because I was being conscious of my usage, I kept pausing when I knew I was about to use it. I felt like I sounded less eloquent and put-together, because I kept saying a few words, pausing, then continuing my thought, pausing, and repeat. If I continued this experiment past a week, would that change? Probably, but if this experiment taught me anything, it's that that isn't necessary. Yes, I use the word "like" a lot. But so does everyone. I put myself under a lot of stress for nothing — stress I didn't even realize I was feeling until the day after my experiment was over, when I realized how much more relaxed I suddenly felt when I wasn't being so self-conscious about my word choices. No one had even noticed what I was doing!
Clearly, at some point since Clueless and Legally Blonde came out, "like" has ingrained itself so deeply in our everyday speech that it's no longer something only ditzy blonde movie characters use, but a normal speech pattern in everyone from your boss to your dentist. Most people born in the last 40 or so years grew up using it; what was funny to the older folks writing Cher Horowitz's dialogue was just an extreme version of a regular day for us. If everyone around you is speaking a certain way and you're speaking that same way, how can you sound dumb? If the rest of your words are thoughtful, having one or two or 20 "likes" isn't going to change that.
If you disagree, I found this Wikihow about how to stop using it. But, like, why bother?

Our team of development workers with G.O.D. International facilitated a teacher's conference for over 200 teachers from across the country of El Salvador. My husband, Rafael, was one of 7 delegates on this trip. He served by not only translating but also conducting a seminar on the importance of teacher's sharing stories in the classroom.
Because of your support through Light Shine Candles, we were able to send Rafa, paying for his airfare and traveling expenses as well as make a donation $300 towards the cost of facilitating the conference, which was free for the Salvadoran teachers to attend. Your partnership truly makes a difference in helping us serve our neighbors who are very much in need. The resources otherwise available to these teachers are very limited. We believe that by equipping them, we are serving their students, their families and their communities.
To read more about the October teachers conference, check out these articles by 2 of our fellow team members on the G.O.D. International blog:

As always, thank you for helping us do what we love. :)
If you would like more information in getting involved with equipping teachers in El Salvador or how to serve neighbors in your community, don't hesitate to drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our strong, well-led governing body, is supportive of the school, its staff and its mission and make an important contribution to the school's well-being and effectiveness.
Being a governor is a major piece of Christian and community service. No one should undertake the role lightly. It involves time, energy and a willingness to become involved in the life of the school on a regular basis over at least four years. Churches should recognise and support all those who undertake this responsibility in a Church school.
Our governing body is an integral part of the school leadership team and are responsible for;
- setting the Christian ethos of the school;
- developing the school improvement plan;
- making decisions about expenditure of the school budget;
- challenging and holding the headteacher to account.
They also monitor the implementation of the policies developed in consultation with the school leadership team.
Sometimes the governing body is referred to as the critical friend of the school. It is a strategic role: governors are not involved in the day to day running of the school: that is the responsibility of the headteacher and Senior Leadership Team.

We successfully broke the law and couldn't be happier
July 10th has been my only concern this past month as we awaited our variance hearing. Every time I saw it on the calendar, or heard it in passing, it would trigger my anxiety and give me hot flashes. July 10th was the date of variance hearing, which I talked about it my last post.
It took 12 weeks after Eversource told us "30 days," but they're in
You may remember my post, from back in November, about how we got our 4 private poles installed - then how they all got destroyed by a freak Nor'Easter about 7 days later. We have since repaired the poles, which only cost us $500 thanks to our pole guy being an incredible human being. None of the wires, despite like 4 massive trees on top of one of them, sustained any damage and the poles themselves just needed a bit of readjusting to get everything back to par. Finally, it was time for Eversource to get in and do their part.
Even protecting yourself from getting sued can get you sued!
Some of the things that come with waiting to build on our vacant land include dealing with insurance and how to protect ourselves from this sue-happy world. God forbid someone takes it upon themselves to explore our property, trips and gets hurt - everything we have ever worked for could be taken away in an instant.
But we have the blueprints, the paint colors, & the dreams
Jay and I just got back from the Bristol County Registry of Deeds, where we closed on the 6 acres of land we made on offer on back in June. We now have the means to move forward with our journey and build the house of our dreams.
But back in June, when we discovered our property, things weren't as easy as they seemed.

Frank Skinner has taken a trip down memory lane as he remembered watching England win the World Cup, back in 1966.
The comedian, who co-created Three Lions song along with David Baddiel in 1996, was one of the many famous faces sharing their excitement for the national team's quarter final game against Sweden, in Russia.
And the 61-year-old took to Twitter to share a hilarious video of himself dancing along to the song, with his shirt pulled over his head.
'It's coming home… guess who? #ENGSWE,' he captioned the clip for his 70.5k followers.
Pal David got in on the joke, quoting his post with the message: 'I can't take any responsibility for this.'
We've had the song stuck in our heads since the tournament began, David, so you definitely can!
Earlier in the day, Frank opened up about the moment he watched England win the World Cup for the first – and only – time, all the way back in 1966.
Side note: HOW has it been that long?!
'When I was nine years old, I was sat in my living room in a council house in the West Midlands,' he explained on his Absolute Radio Show.
'I actually watched England win the World Cup, I actually watched it. So it can happen, trust me, I am an eyewitness.'
And, getting completely ahead of himself, Frank added: 'We could be doing the show this time next week, and we could be looking forward to England being in the World Cup final the next day. Come on!'
The comedian wasn't the only one celebrating the team – as David Beckham also shared his support for the players ahead of kick-off.
'This is a big moment and the whole country & more are behind our guys,' the former Manchester United footballer shared on Instagram.
'We are already proud but now we are getting excited… Play with passion @england.'
While Paddy McGuinness joked he was planning on tiring out his kids in the morning, so he had the afternoon free to enjoy the game.
'Right! I've got till 14:00 to knacker the kids out. I'm going in!!!! #England #WorldCup,' he tweeted.
Well, it's coming home… right?

GBP/CHF Exchange Rate Forecast: UK, Swiss Consumer Prices in the Spotlight
With the trading week drawing to a close investors will soon be turning their attention to next week's run of ecostats, particularly with both nations' inflation readings on the market radar.
Investors will be particularly interested in the UK's inflation results after the BoE's recent assertion that an early rate decision would be highly dependent on the trajectory of consumer prices.
If inflation continues to remain so significantly above the bank's target levels then a May rate hike might seem warranted – an eventuality that could cause the GBP/CHF exchange rate to rally once more.
On the Swiss front, inflation continues to remain very low and given that the SNB is expected to continue to hold steady on rate hikes it is unlikely that the reading will have much of an effect on GBP/CHF (barring a significant increase).
Brexit Transitionary Period still Precarious, Pound Exchange Rates Tumble
The Pound Sterling to Swiss Franc (GBP/CHF) exchange rate stumbled on Friday as markets reacted to a wealth of disappointing UK ecostats and slightly foreboding comments from the EU's Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier.
On the data front, the UK's trade deficit hit its widest point since September 2016, expanding from £-3.65b to £-4.896b year-on-year in December – significantly below the forecast of £-3.2b.
This was largely driven by an increase in the UK's importation of oil from Europe, (with Norway supplying the bulk of these exports).
In other news the UK's industrial production fell by -1.3% month-on-month in December, tumbling as a result of the shutdown in the Forties North Sea oil pipeline, whilst construction contracted by -0.2%.
Manufacturing production, however, printed up at 0.3%, marking its eighth consecutive month of gains.
The largest encumbrance, however, proved comments from Barnier, who insisted that a transition period after Brexit-Day 2019 is 'not a given'.
Barnier cited ongoing disagreements between the UK and the EU regarding three central variables: The rights of EU, and UK nationals, the UK's right to object to new EU rules, and whether the UK will continue to participate in new justice and home affairs policies during the transition period.
Barnier stated:
'If these disagreements persist the transition is not a given'.
These comments threw into doubt the UK's plans for a smooth landing for businesses and crippled the Pound, particularly with the Bank of England (BoE) having stated that an early rate hike would be very much dependent on success on the Brexit transition front.
Swiss Unemployment Holds Stead, Swiss Franc (CHF) Exchange Rates Bolstered
The Swiss Franc (CHF) found support in some better-than-expected unemployment figures on Friday.
The Swiss unemployment rate printed at 3.3% in January, consistent with the previous month and below the market consensus of a rise to 3.4%.
This remains the highest jobless rate since April 2017, however.
The Swiss currency has benefited somewhat from this week's manic sell-off in equities, with many traders switching to safe-haven currencies in an attempt to protect their investments.
This has been limited, however, as banks are now touting a short position against the Franc on the understanding that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will likely lag on their unwinding of stimulus.
This is because the central bank regards the Franc as overvalued and a threat to the nation's exporters – a prospect that has led many to posit that they will stick to an easy-money programme for far longer than originally anticipated.

Match Recap - Hornets vs SMRFC - 09/16/2017
An unseasonably warm start to the Cup season as Sunday Morning greeted the Hornets at Lucier Park to renew their annual rivalry. Despite the hot weather and late change of venue, the Hornets got off to a hot start and a beautifully weighted chip ahead from Brad Bearden down the right touchline caught the Sunday back 3 napping and he touched down in the right corner for the first try of the season. Tough sideline conversion attempt from Zach sailed wide, leaving the score at 5-0 in favor of Hornets after 5 minutes. Despite being the first game of the year, both teams showed good continuity in retaining possession and some good sets of hands. After working their way downfield, the Hornets secured a penalty right in front and Zach slotted the penalty from 30 meters out to put the Hornets up 8-0 after 12 minutes. From a counter attack down the right hand side, Brad Bearden put over another perfectly placed chip ahead which Sai scooped up for his first try as a Hornet. This time Zac was able to nail the difficult conversion to put the Hornets up 15-0 after 16 minutes. Both teams settled in to their patterns after this, with some promising chances ultimately undone by some untimely mistakes and some great defense. Sai offloaded in a tackle to send Brian Saak away down the left touchline but desperate cover defense from SMRFC made a great effort to cut him down 5 meters from the try line. As the half wound down, Sai took a quick tap from a penalty inside the Sunday 22 and broke tackles to score the last try of the half. Successful conversion made the halftime score 22-0 to the Hornets. The second half started with more of the same as Zach found space off the back of a midfield scrum and found the baby giraffe in support and Brad Christ took it the distance for the first try of the second half. Conversion went wide, making it 27-0 Hornets after 46 minutes. The rest of the game was a war of attrition as both teams started to feel the effects of 100 degree weather. Missed tackles and dropped balls became more prevalent on both side, but both teams battled on in the tough conditions. Sai was able to score another try at 65 minutes to secure a hat-trick in his first game for the Hornets. Zach's conversion made it 34-0. SMRFC battled to the end and were rewarded with the closing try at the 76 minute mark. Full-time score was Hornets 34, Sunday Morning 5. With the win the Dan Young trophy goes back to the Hornets. Man of the match was Sai.
Score – Hornets = 34 (Tries – Sai x 3, Brad Bearden, Brad Christ; Conversions – Zach = 3/5; Penalties – Zach = 1/1), SMRFC = 5
Scrums – Hornets = 5/9 (56%), SMRFC = 8/8 (100%)
Lineouts – Hornets = 10/17 (59%), SMRFC = 5/8 (62%)
Penalties – Hornets = 10, SMRFC = 12.

What problem does your company solve?
Assist students with their editing and structure of their papers; lecturer/conference speaker; radio/podcast host/producer
When did you first see this problem as one that needed to be solved?
Started in fall 2016 assisting students with their papers. Became a radio host July 2017 called Faith & Facts with Dr. Jo, which led to my own podcast.
Did the problem ever seem like it was bigger than you?
Yes. While working with several clients it became overwhelming to manage people and their multiple problems with their writing skills. Some wrote better than others. Those that wrote poorly consumed a lot of time. I managed to donate more time than I actually got paid to work on their projects.
What makes YOU stand out from others who may solve similar problems?
With papers, I offer personal one-on-one with my clients. They don't feel as if someone is stealing their money. I want them to succeed. I want them to receive a good grade.
With the podcasts, it allows nurses to get their voices heard regarding something that they are passionate about. I edit and produce all from my computer regardless of where I am in the country.
What, if any, concerns are there related to nurses NOT knowing about non traditional roles?
Nurses get stuck. They feel that the only thing they can do is nursing. I beg to differ. We as nurses have so many things we can offer people. We have many skills and abilities. We need to say to yourself, "What can I offer to others that there is a need for?" In others, "What skill do I have that can benefit someone else?" We all may not have 10 things, but we all have at least 1 thing. We can expand and nurture that one thing and become the best that we can at that one thing. You never know how that 1 skill can morph into something else.
Some say, "It's not what you know, it's about who you know." In terms of developing business relationships, do you agree with that statement? Please explain your rationale.
Yes and no. It's about opportunities. In other words, being at the right place at the right time. The crazy thing is, sometimes you won't even know if it's the right time or right place. But you have to position yourself to be ready to move into position at the drop of a hat. In some instances, you can't afford to wait. Other times you need to take the time to determine whether or not this is right for you, your family and your business.
Tell us about your transition. What was the process of moving away from the clinical role into a business role? What mindset shifts, if any, did you need to make?
It was a huge mindset shift. As a nurse, for most of my career, I had 2 jobs until I became a DON at a nursing home. Then the floor fell out and they fired me. I had nothing. Because I had 3 degrees I thought that it would be easy to find another job. But that was not the case. I struggled for quite some time. When I met a group of nurses that looked like me and was successful in business, I said to myself, "I'm doing something wrong. I'm missing out on something." The lightbulb went off--"multiple streams of income" was/is the answer. The next thing was to put it into action.
What has been the hardest thing in starting in your specific type of business or job role?
Time. There never seems to be enough time in the day to get all the things I want to get done and still maintain my sanity. But I'm persistent and want to see the best product produced. So if that means not taking on a lot of clients, then so be it.
What has been the most rewarding thing about being in your business or job role?
I get satisfaction knowing that I helped someone else get to the next level of their life.
What would you say are the five important resources (books, conferences associations) for a nurse who wants explore business?
Boss Nurse Club for sure is my number one association.
Let's talk legal stuff. Many nurses are afraid of this part of business. How did you address this concern in your business? What worked for you?
Regardless of what you do, be sure that you and your business is covered. Get insurance. Protect your license.
Who supported you during this transition? Did you have paid mentorship or coaching? If so, what made you make that investment in paid support?
Initially, I didn't have anyone outside of my husband. But I joined Boss Nurse Club and they have been inspiring. I'm able to bounce ideas off and gain knowledge and many aspects of the business.
What would you like others to know about what you do?
I'm a DNP prepared nurse who has a desire to see you be the best you there is to be. I also produce my radio show & podcast. You can catch me Sundays at 8 am EST on www.thenursesstation.net or on iTunes, Google play, SoundCloud and PodOmatic. Look for Faith & Facts with Dr. Jo.
Is there anything else you would like readers to know?
I'm available for speaking engagements and consultation. Check out my website www.drjbryantrn.com

Angkor Wat Travel Guide
Angkor Wat Travel Guide by Last Baht
Angkor Wat: ancient temple city, UNESCO site, bucket list item, wonder of the world. The price of tickets to the world-famous Angkor Wat nearly doubled in 2017, a new complication for world travelers on a budget. Make the most out of a one-day pass by seeing only the best of Angkor's most magical and unforgettable sites both on and off the beaten path.
Angkor Wat Historical Park
A Bit of History
In the year 802, a local Hindu prince named Jayavarman unified the dozens of local warlords and minor princes throughout what is now Cambodia, eastern Thailand, and western Vietnam, and was crowned Deva Raja, the "Universal Monarch" with unlimited authority to command armies and workers.
The reign of King Jayavaraman is steeped in myth and legend, and in fact, the first references to this possibly mythical ruler occur on artifacts dating from two centuries after the end of his reign. Nevertheless, the Angkor Empire began to flourish during this time, at the beginning of the ninth century. Under the rule of an absolute God-King, the Khmer constructed Angkor, the capital city of the Angkor Empire, located near present-day Siem Reap, Cambodia. In just a few centuries, at the height of its power, the city of Angkor covered over a thousand square kilometers and was home to over a million inhabitants. Recent satellite surveys of the ruins of the Angkor Empire by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America show that between the eleventh and the thirteenth centuries, Angkor was the largest pre-industrial city in the world.
Getting There and Around
You can see Angkor Wat by motorbike, hired car, or tuk-tuk. Renting a motorbike from your guesthouse is probably the cheapest way to get around, but the Historical Park complex is massive, and it's easy to get lost or turned around. If you are short on time and really don't want to miss the top sites, hiring a driver is the most reliable way to get around. You can arrange this through your hotel or guesthouse the day before you want to visit the historical park.
When to go
You can visit Angkor Wat at any time of the year, but if you are going to be visiting during the monsoon season (around May-November) be prepared for the chance of rain.
Tickets to the Angkor Wat Historical Park, although worth the cost, are a bit pricey for a traveler on a budget. A price increase in 2017 nearly doubled the ticket price, so if you are on a tight budget, pick up a one-day pass and hit up these top sites on a one-day whirlwind tour. Tickets can be bought as you arrive at Angkor Wat Historical Park.
1 Day - $37
3 Day - $62
7 Day - $72
Angkor Historical Park in a One-Day Visit
Sunrise at Angkor Wat
Wake up at 4:30am to begin your adventure long before the sun begins to rise. Meet your driver and head to Angkor Wat in the dark. Try to find a good spot to stand or sit to watch as the sun rises directly behind the famous Khmer-style spires of Angkor Wat. It's crowded, but for good reason: watching the sun rise behind Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious monument, and one of Southeast Asia's most magical experiences.
As soon as the sun is up, the crowds disperse, heading back to their hotels for breakfast or off to other temples in the historical park, and once it's light, Angkor Wat really isn't that crowded. Head inside the cool, dark hallways of the legendary temple city and get up close to the intricate carvings and amazingly detailed architecture.
monks at Angkor Wat
Inside, pay special attention to the intricate and incredibly well-preserved carvings of Hindu mythology and cosmology. Although constructed as a Hindu temple, Angkor Wat is now an important Buddhist site as well, and it's common to see saffron-robed Theravada monks walking through the stone passages of the ancient complex.
Angkor Wat in the morning
By now, you might be starting to feel hungry. Outside the complex are a wide selection of local vendors selling fairly cheap Cambodian dishes, and just across the moat is a branch of the delicious Blue Pumpkin Cafe, where you can order a nice breakfast and cup of fine Khmer coffee before continuing your adventure.
Angkor Thom and the Bayon
The next stop is Angkor Thom, the "Great City", the best known site in the Historical Park after Angkor Wat. Angkor Thom was the largest of the Khmer cities, and the capital of the Khmer Empire through the 17th century. Angkor Thom is probably best known these days as a location from the 2001 Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider film.
Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom's most impressive feature is the Bayon, the ancient temple sitting right at the center of Angkor Thom. Bayon is decorated in spires carved into giant, serene faces. Unlike most of the Angkor temples, Bayon is Buddhist, and not Hindu. Bayon was the last State Temple of the Khmer Empire, constructed after the empire's official conversion from Hinduism to Buddhism.
Other features of note include the Terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of Elephants, but the Bayon temple is really the most extraordinary part of the Angkor Thom complex. Visitors can even climb up to the upper levels of the temple to get a closer view of the carved faces.
Before Angkor Thom was abandoned during the fall of the Khmer Empire around 1600, it is believed to have supported a population of somewhere around 150,000, just a bit smaller than that of London at the time.
Ta Prohm
Visiting Ta Phrom feels like discovering a wonderful secret hidden deep in the jungle. While Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom have been partially restored, Ta Prohm still looks very much the same as it did when re-discovered by 19th century French explorers. Ta Prohm, a 12th century Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university, is overgrown with the roots of a gnarled jungle tree.
Ta Prohm may be significantly smaller than either Angkor Wat or Angkor Thom, but it's incredibly atmospheric and beautiful.
The "Monastery of Kings" was a dedicated Buddhist temple, one of the very few Buddhist temples in the predominantly Hindu Khmer Empire, though few Buddhist carvings remain. A theory suggests that Hindu priests may have destroyed some of the temple's more overtly Buddhist features after the death of the king. Regardless, it's one of the most incredible and highly-recommended sites in the entire Historical Park.
Kbal Spean
Off the beaten track is the Kbal Spean, which means "Bridge Head", a sacred waterfall and archaeological site northeast of Angkor Wat.
Sacred Waterfall
The riverbed is covered in intricate carvings depicting scenes and figures from Hindu mythology, and is surrounded by dense jungle. It's a moderately tough 2km and fairly steep hike through a jungle trail to reach the waterfall, so be sure you are wearing appropriate footwear and carry water if you want to visit Kbal Spean!
Today, only Cambodians are allowed to swim in the sacred pool beneath the waterfall. You might see local people having a picnic along the banks. Foreigners, though, are not allowed to bathe or swim in the natural pool.
Beng Mealea
A bit far out, but absolutely worth the trip, Beng Mealea is one of the most incredible sites surrounding Siem Reap. This temple is located about 40 km away from the other main sites, which takes some time by tuk-tuk, but the trek is worth it.
This small temple is entirely un-restored, and exploring the ruins will make you feel like Indiana Jones. Entry to Beng Mealea is not included with the Angkor Wat Historical Park pass, but only costs $5 or so to hire the park ranger for a private guided tour through the crumbling ruins. When I first visited, I arrived near dusk, and the ranger guided us along by flashlight through the dark temple interior, bats chirping overhead.
Be careful on the slippery moss-covered stones! The ground is not completely stable, so move slowly and carefully through the ancient ruin. In my opinion, this is probably the coolest site in Siem Reap!
Pre-planned tours
Hire a tuk-tuk driver for one of the two "circuit" tours to hit all the most popular sites.
The Small Circuit
Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom, Banteay Kdei, and a number of smaller but still interesting ruins in a comprehensive loop of the park's most famous sites. Good for a one-day visit.
The Grand Circuit
Small Circuit plus Preah Khan, Preah Neak Pean, among other smaller and less-known sites. The Grand Circuit is much longer, and is recommended only if you have enough time or interest in the less famous and popular historical sites. Usually requires two or more days to complete.

MADRID, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Former International Monetary Fund chief Rodrigo Rato was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for misusing company credit cards for personal expenses while he worked at lender Bankia, a Spanish court ruled on Thursday.
Rato - a one-time economy minister in Spain and once a prominent figure in the ruling People's Party (PP) - was on trial along with 64 other executives and former board members of Bankia and its founding savings bank Caja Madrid.
After his tenure at the IMF, Rato chaired Bankia for two years until just before its state bailout in 2012.
He was convicted of unlawful appropriation, the court said in a written ruling, as was ex-Caja Madrid Chairman Miguel Blesa, who was sentenced to six years jail time.
Rato had denied any wrongdoing, arguing the expenses he accrued on the Bankia credit cards were legal.

"This document is … geared to the needs of the world – the economic needs, the moral needs …at this particular time….
"He is saying that love itself, which is charity, is an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace…. He is proposing now, as a means for the development of peoples, as a means of promoting human dignity, as a means of facing the problems that we're faced with – all these economic problems and all their consequences – the Pope is saying, we do have a solution and we have to begin with love that expresses itself in truth….
"It's all about solidarity; it's all about human beings rising up and being concerned with other people. It's all about making sure that every human being has dignity and is recognized….
"The Pope is very clear in the fact that he challenges business enterprises, governments, unions, inspaniduals, to reexamine their economic responsibilities but, he's doing it from…the viewpoint of charity, love, governed by truth – the truth of who we are as people: What is the human being? What is the dignity of the human person?
"Everybody has to benefit from this, but it has to be their total good what takes into account their physical needs, their spiritual needs, the rights they have as human beings, – the right to life, the right to religious freedom, the right not to be oppressed and the right to live a decent life because all human goods are basically given not for the benefit of specific inspaniduals to make billions of dollars, but God has given us the world so that everyone can participate in dignity, at least with frugality, in His creation…
"I think there is going to be a great response of good will… The Pope is talking about realities that really affect everybody's life…
"He's talking about the global economy … politics … the environment, but above all he's is talking about this tremendous force, which is love….
"He's appealing to the generosity of people…It's part of the building of a better world – and with greater respect for each person and for all people."
– Cardinal Justin Rigali

UK unemployment climbs
Pound Sterling - UK Markets
Sterling foreign exchange rates have dropped off sharply against the US dollar and euro this morning, falling to 1.64 and 1.16 respectively. The pound is also lower against its European currency partners, while gaining against the New Zealand and Australian dollars.
UK unemployment has reached its highest level since 1995, with figures rising to 2.44 million. Average earnings also grew at the slowest rate on record and this could lead to downbeat sentiment in the UK today. The GBP0.3 billion widening of the UK trade deficit failed to move sterling exchange rates significantly yesterday. There was however, a rise in exports to the European Union which was taken as a good sign by investors. Minutes from the last MPC meeting are released later in the day.
US Dollar - US Markets
Foreign exchange rates for the greenback have gained ground in early trading this morning, climbing against its international currency partners with the exception of the Japanese yen and Swiss franc.
The Federal Reserve is due to make an interest rate decision today, and this will likely influence US dollar sentiment. The Fed is expected to leave interest rates and QE policy unchanged, with a bias towards flexibility and further monetary easing if necessary. The US trade balance is also released and the deficit is expected to widen to USD-28 billion.
Euro - European Markets
The euro has experienced choppy trading this morning with foreign exchange rates falling to 1.41 against the US dollar and 0.85 against the pound. The single currency has gained on the Aussie, Canadian and New Zealand dollars.
Industrial production across the eurozone has fallen -0.6% in June, declining by -17% for the year. The low figures reflect a contraction across all sectors of the 16 nation zone, although the decline is progressing at a slower pace than in recent months. Euro exchange rates will be affected by the Fed decision today and euro area GDP figures released tomorrow.
Other Currencies - Highlights
Latin American foreign exchange rates are lower this morning, with the Mexican, Colombian and Brazilian currencies falling to August lows on the back of downbeat economic data from China and risk averse trading ahead of the US interest rate decision. US trade balance figures could also have implications for the real in particular, as the Brazilian economy is reliant on commodity exports.

The Bay Area is an ever growing hub of opportunities for art professionals, educators, and enthusiasts alike. However, despite the notion that art is some what omnipresent, people often ignore the privilege of public art, particularly in Oakland. I too am guilty of burying myself into my own thoughts relying solely on tunnel vision to guide my path . So much so that I sometimes forget what it means to be an observer in my own hood. We often fooled into believing that progress can only be found straight ahead when indeed creativity and innovation exist all around.
Meet artist extraordinaire and all around dope dude, Jet Martinez. When I first met Jet, I was awe struck by his amazing perfectly, paint-splattered jeans. Folks, I'm not talking about a pair of pants that can be manufactured by any ole' high-end denim designer. I'm talking about a walking indigo canvas with a perfectly orchestrated palette of hues that only a masterful artist could create. That was my introduction to Jet's brilliance.
A year later, I had the opportunity to capture a glimpse of Jet at work though a project coordinated by one of Oakland's leading public art collectives Athen B. Gallery and the thoughtful lens of local photographer, Hasain Rasheed of Hasain Rasheed Photography. The floral green motif prominently displayed on the west side of Downtown Oakland's historic I. Magnin building is striking and is characteristic of Jet's signature style of painting living and breathing murals. The I. Magnin projects speaks of the bounty of Oakland, here today and here tomorrow.
When I asked Jet about his process and whether he used one of my favorite math concepts of scale to paint murals, his response was, "I used a grid for this project because of the the large scale but I don't have a usual method. It kinda depends on the project. On some, I just free draw."
Here's a thought…let's all join the movement. Live, think, create, and draw…free.

NetSuite Whitepapers
'Cloud computing has brought to small businesses a dizzying array of business applications that were previously unaffordable or non-existent. The number of ways to extend accounting software is nearly limitless. However, business owners need to be very aware that just because it is possible to connect together multiple applications to support their operations, it may not be the most effective or efficient approach. In this paper you will learn the hidden costs of working with multiple applications and discover the benefits of ERP for your small business.
A financial management system is key to running your operations profitably. You need to have realtime insights into numerous financial metrics such as profitability ratios, inventory margins, liabilities, fixed assets and taxes. An integrated financial management system that brings together your order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes provides you with great business visibility while allowing your staff to perform their jobs much quicker. An adaptable financial management system with rich business planning, comprehensive system integration and solid reporting capabilities that operates in the cloud will position you for the next stage of growth.
Do you ever get the feeling that you're running on the spot? Being a SMB is challenging enough as it is, without your systems holding you back.
The customer is king. That's a given. Smart companies are adopting end-to-end technology solutions to propel their growth and ensure their sustainability. Forrester's top 10 technology trends demonstrates why a shift is underway from cyclical, intention-led spending on point solutions, to investments targeting customer-driven, end-to-end value. Whilst this opens up huge opportunities, they also pose challenges in terms of the organisation's infrastructure, culture, and maturity – particularly as companies expand and grow. Download this white paper and learn what technology trends are going to impact your organisation over the next two years.
For many businesses, QuickBooks is a good accounting system when starting out. But is it the right choice to fuel the next stage of your organisation's growth?
Download this white paper for a look at why fast-growing organisations have upgraded from QuickBooks to accelerate growth. Discover the telltale signs that it might be time for you as well, including:
• It's too hard to find out what's really happening across your business in real time. • You spend too much time re-entering and reconciling data across systems. • You're losing sales because you can't get information where it's needed fast enough. You're doing more of your accounting outside QuickBooks than in it. • You spend too much time worrying about technology instead of business results.
View this white paper to learn how a detailed TCO evaluation shows cloud-based solutions can deliver significant savings compared to on-premises business applications. Cloud computing eliminates the need for individual companies to buy, deploy and maintain IT infrastructure or application software.
By understanding how organizations are taking advantage of cloud ERP to reshape their businesses, we can begin to discern what lies ahead for enterprises as they move their systems to the cloud. That in turn can tell us what new demands they'll place on their business systems, and thus how the ERP application platform itself must evolve to allow them to take full advantage of all that the cloud brings.
This survey was designed to quantify the current state of affairs regarding the current and emerging trends in Cloud Computing/SaaS adoption. The survey was sent out to a segment of the Proformative community of several thousand finance, accounting, and treasury professionals and was in the field for a period of approximately three weeks. We received 366 responses. See the results in this whitepaper.
Cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) are powerful forces to help organizations improve operations and achieve greater business agility. To make informed decisions and leverage your ERP investment, it is important to understand the impact of cloud computing and the role of professional services in this new world. This third white paper offers suggestions to encourage ERP adoption, an important foundation to create business transformation that endures.
Cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) are powerful forces to help organizations improve operations and achieve greater business agility. To make informed decisions and leverage your ERP investment, it is important to understand the impact of cloud computing and the role of professional services in this new world.

Karachi, June 24, 2014: JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited has reaffirmed the entity ratings of Meezan Bank Limited (MBL) at 'AA/A-1+' (Double A/A-One Plus). Outlook on the assigned ratings is 'Stable'.Islamic Banking Industry (IBI) in Pakistan continues to post robust growth with market share of over 10% at year-end 2013 in terms of deposits. The growth trajectory is likely to continue with the State Bank of Pakistan envisaging increase in market share of IBI to 15% by year-end 2018, as per the recently launched five year strategic plan. Liquidity management remains a challenge for Islamic banks, in the absence of short term Shariah Compliant instruments and only a limited issuance of GoP Ijarah Sukuk after a gap of more than 1 year.The ratings of MBL reflect a healthy customer franchise and a solid funding base, largely comprising cost effective retail deposits. Accordingly, deposit concentration is low while liquidity remains sound. Ratings also draw strength from the strong asset quality indicators. Although core earnings have witnessed a decline as cost to income ratio has increased, overall profitability levels have improved. Accordingly, return on equity posted by MBL was amongst the highest in the banking sector.MBL has posted impressive growth in asset base over the last five years with total assets of the bank increasing at a CAGR of 31% over this period. Growth in asset base has been funded by deposits on the back of rapid branch expansion. Financing portfolio has also witnessed healthy growth in 2013, manifested in reputed names. Asset quality indicators compare favorably to peers. Liquidity is strong but not easy to manage because of lack of avenues for deployment. Resultantly, exposure towards relatively low yielding assets, such as placements with financial institutions, has showed a rising trend.As part of the bank's strategic blue print, rapid branch expansion is planned to continue with the addition of 150 additional branches over the course of the next three years. Deposit base is projected to reach Rs. 500b by end-2016 while financing to deposit ratio is targeted at 50%. This implies that financing portfolio will be doubled over the next three years; this may be a challenging target and achievement of the same depends on economic environment. Anticipated growth in balance sheet is expected to mitigate the impact of narrowing margins on profitability. Capitalization levels of the bank are considered adequate. As per management, internal capital generation is expected to be sufficient to achieve the planned growth in business without affecting the bank's risk profile.During the ongoing year, MBL has entered into an agreement with the HSBC Bank Middle East Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidy of HSBC Holdings Plc, to acquire HSBC's banking business in Pakistan through a process of amalgamation. At year-end 2013, HSBC Pakistan business comprises 10 branches and total assets of Rs. 48 billion. MBL expects value addition to arise from the acquisition of HSBC's clientele in Pakistan.For further information on this rating announcement, please contact Mr. Javed Callea (Ext: 501) or Ms. Sobia Maqbool, CFA (Ext: 604) at 92-21-35311861 or fax to 92-21-35311873.Javed CalleaAdvisor

Day two… I ventured out for a short spell to acclimate to the standards of the local population. The weather was much kinder and rain looks to be on the horizon. The most common form of transportation seems to be a motorized wheeled vehicle. I would have assumed with advancement of technologies available that they would no longer be a non-renewable fuel source. I was incorrect it this assumption. There were a few individuals that were taking advantage of the cooler weather to go on what one individual referred to as a "stroll". I believe that a stroll is a wonderful way of getting from one place to another in a leisurely manner… perhaps I will try this method of travel more often.
I believe I am blending in well as I was not approached in any hostile manner. Several individual with their young in tow seemed unaffected by my presence. Most species display protective and aggressive behavior when young are present. It was a pleasant surprise to observe a family unit playing on a human constructed structure seemingly dedicated for that purpose. Perhaps previous assumptions about the human species were incorrect. I will study this further at a future date.
Tomorrow I think I will venture into some of the buildings humans seem to enjoy gathering and resupplying in. It is never wise to expose a foreign presence to quickly or they may become suspicious. One such building I am intrigued about is a building containing art work. It will be a great instrument to learn about their culture I am sure. Art is a direct reflection of a species and their environment. I am curious to what I will find.

Did you know that Twinstiq is currently doing another Game Club?
It's about a game called Loom or some shit, I think. Don't ask me, I'm just the messenger. Anyway, we did this Game Club thing before with Deus Ex, if you can remember. It was a great success, gathering critical acclaim from all over the world. The UN even acknowledged it as one of the most culturally important gatherings of random people on the internet. Then disaster struck. On November 22nd, 2015, The internet archives went down for only 5 minutes and when they were back up, almost everything surrounding the Game Club was gone. Even worse, no one, even Ban Ki-moon himself, could remember that they were taking part in it. We still don't know why or how this happened. Was it Aliens? Illuminati conspiracy? Maybe Kofi Annan, jealous that he wasn't invited?
Whatever the case, this means we have to start from scratch. So tell your friends, tell your family, and most importantly, tell whoever is going to become the ninth Secretary-General of the United States, that the Twinstiq Game Club is back and playing Loom!
What's everyone playing over the weekend?
Thomas: I'm stuck at my girlfriends place, for at least another day, which means no gaming… And boy, am I going through withdrawal right now. Once I have some time, and the temperature inside my place stays below the boiling point of steel, I'll finally get into my Vive. Like reeeeal deep. Like, ooooh baby, show me those virtual mountains, procedurally generated in Elite: Dangerous. Like juicing bananas and tomatoes and then spreading it all over my slab of meat in Job Simulator, mmmm, the sexual deviancy.
Greywolfe: so, last week, i watched the introduction to quest for glory 3, this week, i get to actually play. [i also imported my long-term character for the game into this new entry and he managed to import just fine. as an added bonus, because i wished for magic in the last game - a thing i got to do because i freed a genie - i get to start off with the level cap of 300 points in magic. which is going to make the game pretty trivial, considering that i'm playing a mage in this playthrough ;)] - i'm winding down loom and trying to think of what to play next. i'm also some of the way through "a blind legend" - which i am feeling a bit iffy about - the control scheme could use a little work and the save game system /definitely/ needs an overhaul. but, yeah...need to think about a game for a loom replacement ;) [for those of you playing along, we're finishing loom for the game club this weekend.]
Cody: Well Overwatch has a new hero who looks fun a hell, so I'm have to give that a shot. Won't be trying,out competitive anymore though after the hero limit is implemented. Rocksmith has been fun as always and I'll keep messing around on that till my fingers bleed. If I have time I'll throw some rounds of Dota in there, the qualifier matches where awesome to watch and im sure TI6 will be really entertaining once again. Aside from those I'm excited to see what game the Game Club has in store for us next!
Andrew: Still trying to find time for Loom. I may not finish on schedule but I will definitely complete it, nonetheless. I also finally finished the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD recently so my son and I are now working on the second quest. I am ashamed to say that I ultimately had to break down and consult an online guide for how to defeat puppet Gannon. I really hate doing that but it doesn't make any sense to me that you are supposed to aim for the tail despite the fact that Link automatically targets his giant gaping mouth. I literally wasted hours trying to chuck bombs in there with zero effect (in addition to other, equally useless strategies). Kind of irritating, to be honest.
Scroo: Loom is finished for Gameclub and I decided to go through Hammerfight so that when my turn eventually comes up I can give stopping points for the rest of the club. Also still casually rolling through Stick of Truth. It's been just a funny, extended South Park episode. And my harmonic balancer finally showed up but I'm not sure it's the right one. Seems at first glance to much bigger diameter than the orginal on my engine. I'll just have to tear the front end of my truck down to know for sure, but all the part numbers match so I'm not terribly worried. And I'm gonna have to take that as easy as I can since last Sunday I pulled all my lower abs along with obliques on my right side while I was doing a job. I don't want to re-injure myself for sure.
