Valor Points
Originally back in the burning crusade, you could get them from killing bosses in heroic dungeons and use them to buy gear with. Later they also dropped in raids.
They where meant as a sort of consolation price, so that everybody got something out of doing heroics or raids.
With wrath new kind of badges came into the game and with each tier new badges where introduced. So that you got "tokens" that allowed you only to buy consolation price gear from current raids. There where also a dayly heroic quest that would grant you 2 badges each day upon completion.
The system stayed in untill last tier of wrath where the current justice point+ valor point system was introduced. With a cap on maximum valor.
Back in the days of TBC and wrath imo there was a certain point that you could reach where you didn't care about current content badges anymore and where surplus badges could be used for BoE's or heirlooms. That was the point where I as a player would feel, that i could stop the grind for badges. And focus on other things. Strangely enough i will say that personally historically I first began really to try capping badges with wrath.
With cataclysm the justice and valor system was fully implemented. And it was relatively easy to cap your valor each week. By raiding and doing the 7 heroics each week that gave you valor points.
Now a days it is harder to cap your points each week and with the upgrade system you will practicly never reach a point where you can stop the grind for badges. Personally I think that this is a bad situation. And in my mind in the long run it leads to burnout. Sure some will say well just do not grind valor then, but if you are raiding one often wants to give your best, and to give your best you want to prepare as best you can. So you kinda have to do this chore.
Therefor I think that it would be prudent to turn back to look at what used to work.
-Introduce old and new ways to burn of Valor that piles up, like reintroducing BoE's or other things like special food that you can send to alts that allows them to gain more xp, or allow people to but elder charms perhaps even coins for Valor
-increase the amount of valor gained from dungeons, raids and LFR.
-remove the upgrade system. The system while nice as a way to upgrade your gear. Is unfortunatly a system that continually forces you to cap your valor.
-remove coins and elder charms although I did write at my first point that maybe you schould be able to buy coins and charms for valor. The whole coin and charm system unfortunatly makes people do daylies not out of choice but because they have to do them to get their coins.

Wonderful world
The beautiful
mountains are standing still
Across the
oceans and stony hills
What is my identity?
Am I loud?
Talking to others and being able to
The World of Isolation
Can you see
the leaves of the trees?
calmly onto the ground
A Raven's Cry
She stood
quietly, grave digging
Up on the tree, a raven singing
Looking below, on a dim star's fate
A funeral, like a sad clown's parade
The Glass Ceiling
It is
getting too crowded down here.
Drenched in condensation
hot, plump breasts squeak like wet rats
against the glinting, purple glass.
My Day
Whatever the day brings,
Flowers or tears
I will love that day to my dearest.
Will it bring hope or despair
It's all about being there,
It's all about holding hands,
It's all about saying that you can!
It's not about doctors, nurses.
In the far away mountain
In the depths of the ocean
I do not look for you
The Medieval Babysitter
The shining suit of armor can't protect him from the cries
Of my twin baby brothers, who he's here to supervise.
With vomit down his visor, and a baby in each arm
he rocks my brothers constantly for quiet and calm.
The King's Lesson
The cruel king of England, Henry VIII with six wives
Is teaching students history at a school in St Ives.
Three Catherine's, two Anne's and one Jane Seymour,
The pope excommunicated him for ignoring his law.

JerseyBoy89, You want to post your thoughts, go right ahead and do it. I offer you my favorite quote of which I have embraced and carried through the peaks and valleys of life. FUCKEM ALL BIG & SMALL
I agree Pacquiao should stay off the ropes. Bradley doesn't have the intelligence of Morales, Barrera, Marquez or Cotto, but the blueprint has already been laid out by these guys, and one of the keys is to unload a combination when Pacquiao squares himself up on the ropes. Bradley has too much loop in his punches for my liking, but one of his strenghts is how he picks his spots to unload a combination - even if the punches are sloppy. I'm sure Bradley's camp has picked up on this and also how important it is to nuetralize Pac's biggest weapon - his straight left. This is done by the right hander circling to his left and also countering Pac when he overextends himself, which he often does.
I don't completely count out Bradley and I feel the odds are a very wrong reflection of the probabilities, yet I still favor Pacquiao. Bradley isn't raw, but he has fundamental flaws. He's fast, but not as fast as Pacquiao. He's experienced but not as much as Pacquiao, etc.
However Bradley is peaking and he just fought 2 smart southpaws. Plus the blueprint has been laid out on how to beat Pacquiao. Most importanly Bradley has the balls, combined with the minimum requirements of athleticism and ring smarts to pull off the upset. Don't underestimate Bradley's trainer when comparing fighters. He hasn't straightened out Bradley's punches, but he always gives great advice in between rounds and Bradley respects him.
Jerseyboy I know you get alot of hate on this board but I don't think it's a bad idea to lay a little on Bradley.

Residents say burglars are 'flying drones with night-vision cameras' around Tipperary
26/01/2016 - 13:21:32Back to Ireland Home
Residents in Tipperary say drones are being used by burglars to spy on their homes.
A number of farmers and businesses in Littleton and Two Mile Borris have reported sightings of the remote controlled gadgets flying at night - which is illegal.
They say burglars are using the drones to carry out aerial surveillance, with some saying they are willing to shoot them down.
Robert O'Shea from Littleton says the sightings have been reported to the Gardaí.
Mr O'Shea said: "How do you prove that it's a criminal activity, nobody has been caught.
"It's rather funny to have a drone flying at that hour of the night, especially with what appears to be a night-vision camera on it, but I mean this is what these guys are up to at the moment."

My Heart and Soul is in space. There is not a shred of doubt about that. Since I was a little girl my head has been turned in an upward direction - often both physically and mentally. Come Valentine's Day and my thoughts go straight into space.

My heart is in hard science and I uphold until death that space saves lives. If you cannot imagine that without some help you can take a quick look at one example from NASA spin-offs that literally helps hearts pumping. An that is just one example. There are many more and you can read about general aspects and get more examples in How Hard Science Saves Lives.
The Heart nebula IC 1805 in Cassiopeia painted with a Hubble palette by Terry Hancock from Down Under Observatory. This nebula is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes and you'll find it 7500 light years away from Earth.

A great shot of the Crescent Nebula from http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120816.html. It's a Wolf-Rayet star. A strong interstellar wind from a massive central star is spreading matter shed from one of the earlier stages in its evolution. It's only 4700 light years away, and the main star will probably become a supernova.

Nevertheless, it is a great nebula here also presented in a blue palette. Blue being my favorite color...:-)

do you post that Crescent nebula because of a shape resembling a heart?Terry Hancock also had a photo of it on your flickr link, and then I found a bigger photo on the NASA sight. Now that you mention it, the photo slightly resembles an ilium and the rest of a pelvic girdle. Evolutionary-speaking, which is older; otherwise we'd have to say the ilium resembles the Crescent nebula!

text: A kind of classy, old fashioned, quad-sheet that features the films star, James McAvoy, riding a pig. The fact that he is a dirty cop certainly plays a part, but really what I see in this image is more along the lines of a turn of the century Magician/Freakshow playbill, which is exactly what all the marketing material this far promises; complete with a dozen barely attributed raves by the critics. Speaking of very small typesetting, the onesheet here also reminds me that Filth is not directed by Danny Boyle, but rather Jon S. Baird. Always read the fine print.

Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanted to throw in the towel?
Maybe it was even more than a day, maybe things kept going wrong so your bad day turned into a week, maybe a month or maybe even it felt like a whole year.
That's kind of what this year's Grant County Relay For Life event felt like.
The relay was originally set for May 19 at Grant County Park.
The past few five months I have been terrified.
Most nights would be filled with restless sleep and recurring nightmares.
In February, my dad was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma.
When my mom told my brother and I over the phone that he had cancer I could barely utter a word.
Although in shock, I asked all the obvious questions.
What happens next?
How bad is it?
Will they be able to get rid of it?
While Memorial Day weekend is a wonderful time for gathering with family and friends for picnics, pool parties, and parades, I write to you with the annual reminder not to forget the true meaning of the event. Memorial Day is a time to remember the brave men and women who have put everything on the line so we may live in freedom in the greatest nation in the world.
Donald Trump shocked the world when he defeated Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States. Most political experts gave him little chance to win, as Clinton led in the public polls for almost the entire campaign, and was generally seen as the more conventional choice. But when Nov. 8 arrived, Trump sealed a comfortable win in the Electoral College, despite losing the popular vote by almost three million, becoming the first president in U.S. history with no prior government or military experience.
I have patiently waited for some summer-like heat to arrive before planting my pepper and tomato plants. Now that the forecast calls for warm spring nights the coast is clear for summer vegetables!
Tomatoes love two things: good drainage and heat. If you have struggled with tomatoes in the past, consider what makes them most content when preparing the garden and setting your plants out.
I heard a funny (not so funny) rumor the other day that Grant County was NOT having the Relay For Life this year.
THAT'S NOT TRUE! The Grant County Relay For Life returns to Grant County Park in Crittenden on Friday, May 19 and we're expecting a good evening – rain or shine (although we prefer the shine) with laughter, tears, music, dancing, food, wacky games and contests.
The 2016-2017 school year has come to an end and this is always a bittersweet time for parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
I have watched, as students from Grant and Williamstown schools have progressed in academics and sports and have grown into beautiful young men and women, each unique and special.
What is a mom? A mom is a nurse, a chef, protector, a chauffeur and everything in between.
Mommy, MOMMY, MOM...we have all yelled these words or heard them over and over again.
As a mother, I hear these words quite often. Most times it's because my daughter can't find something that's laying in plain sight. Most times it's when I am knee-deep in something important. On occasion, I'll ignore it, knowing that it will only get more persistent.
And when it gets too persistent, I answer with a resounding, "WHAT?"
When Charles Dickens wrote the novel "Great Expectations", he must have been subconsciously thinking about new puppy owners. Many within this group, especially those who are first-time puppy owners are extremely unrealistic with regard to the expectations of their newly acquired pet. Among the more common myths:
• Lots of love and affection will make a dog loyal and responsive, and guarantee a friendly demeanor.
• Puppies have an inherent desire to please, including coming when called.

Secrets Of An Artists Studio
Artists Studio Essentials
Artists studios, come in all shapes and sizes. There are however certain elements that make an artists studio much more enjoyable to work in and offer greater functionality. Three key items that are indispensable in a studio are:
1. A decent easel
2. A Large mirror
3. A comfy chair, a lounge chair or a settee
Of course, there are many other things that contribute to making a studio not just functional, fun to be in. It is important to remember that your studio space contributes to how you feel when you're painting and therefore can significantly influence how you work in that space. Creating is a complex process. We often create at our best when we are in a nurturing environment. If we have to hassle with the elements or feel uncomfortable with the surroundings this can create a barrier to the way we connect with our creative flow.
The fewer external distractions we have the more connected we care to our creative process.
Now you may think that my three indispensable items are not what you expected them to be.
A Decent Easel
For many years I made do with rickety easels. When I first came to Australia I painted out on a veranda, which was rather chilly in winter as there was no room in the house where we lived, to have my easel or a studio. We do these things because we have to and if you are motivated enough you will paint under all kinds of difficult situations. However, that doesn't make them ideal.
It was only last year that I bought my first easel that winds up and down with a handle. What bliss. Expensive bliss, but bliss nevertheless. If I had realized sooner, how much easier it makes my artist's life, I would have saved up and bought one a long time ago.
A Comfy Chair
I have found over the years that having a comfy chair in my studio has become an indispensable item. At times, when I need to take a break from painting, I will sit in my comfy chair which is set up so that I can see the painting I'm working on, in my large mirror.
A Large Mirror
This means that as I'm taking a break I can look at my work from a different point of view, which is valuable because when you are working alone you need to be your own critic and discover your own mistakes. Sometimes a mirror is one of the only ways you can do this. I have found a mirror to be an indispensable tool in my studio practice as it offers me a different point of view about the painting. Not only am I viewing it from quite a distance away, but also I'm seeing a reversed image. I find that this allows me to see mistakes that I wouldn't otherwise pick up.
The photo above shows the painting I'm working on, in the mirror. It is taken from my comfy chair opposite the mirror. I have positioned the mirror so I can see my painting from a sitting position. Sometimes this can be a bit tricky and will take a few goes to get it right.

The first race of the NuSouth Drag Racing League was held on July 10th in Montgomery, AL. The NDRL is a new league that combines cars as well as motorcycles to give spectators a show that offers more for everyone.
I spoke with Chad "Chickenhead" Otts and Jay "Bird" Rhyne to get their thoughts on the race a few months later, giving them time to reflect on their experience.
Chad has been racing since he was in his mother's womb, so I have been told. He has raced in every class with the exception of Top Fuel. Because of his not having raced in T/F may explain why he likes to do Larry "Spiderman" McBride burnouts, at least one per race on his Pro ET or Top Gas bike. Chad is part of the Doghouse racing team out of Memphis, TN and is an ardent supporter of any legitimate form of motorcycle drag racing.
Today, many drag racing organizations and promoters don't offer anything different; they offer more of the same. What happened to the days of "run what you brung and hope you brung enough?" What happened to the days of class diversity, freedom and flexibility that allowed and embraced individualistic innovative ideas without the influence of money and politics? Remember the days of the big match races, rivalries and showmanship? Where did it all go? Although we may not be able to pinpoint when, where and how the aforementioned exciting and entertaining attributes of drag racings past were lost, we can tell you who will bring more of it back.
NuSouth Drag Racing League would like to offer an eclectic drag racing experience by combining some "old school" with the new. Our aspirations are to embrace, celebrate and bring to the forefront the true diversity among today's high performance enthusiast. NDRL will provide heads up drag racing with a limited amount of restrictions and rules when it comes to power plants, power adders and chassis configurations. Unnecessary politics and rules that can restrict the average racer from participating in heads up classes is not a necessity for the NuSouth Drag Racing League experience.

Origin: From jass, from jasm, from African (compare Mandingo jasi, Temne yas).
Jazz is a music that originated at the beginning of the 20th century, arguably earlier, within the African-American communities of the Southern United States. Its roots lie in the adoption by African-Americans of European harmony and form, taking on those European elements and combining them into their existing African-based music. Its African musical basis is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note. From its early development until the present day, jazz has also incorporated elements from popular music especially, in its early days, from American popular music. As the music has developed and spread around the world it has, since its early American beginnings, drawn on many different national, regional and local musical cultures, giving rise to many distinctive styles: New Orleans jazz dating from the early 1910s, big band swing, Kansas City jazz and Gypsy jazz from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s on down through Afro-Cuban jazz, West Coast jazz, ska jazz, cool jazz, Indo jazz, avant-garde jazz, soul jazz, modal jazz, chamber jazz, free jazz, Latin jazz in various forms, smooth jazz, jazz fusion and jazz rock, jazz funk, loft jazz, punk jazz, acid jazz, ethno jazz, jazz rap, cyber jazz, M-Base, nu jazz and other ways of playing the music.

Some disconnected comments/ideas on this:
Earlier this week Hulu added facial recognition to deal exactly with the "What has she/he been in?" question http://www.geek.com/articles/news/hulu-adds-face-recognition-2011128/
Another example of searching by image to find the solution to a web layout issue: http://herr-heaven.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/solving-problem-on-website-using.html?spref=tw
The links being added between Wikipedia and VIAF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Authority_control_integration_proposal/RFC) might facilitate some kind of image search related to person authority records. My guess is that book cover images could be very helpful in this way. My knowledge of the services offering cover images to libraries is a bit out of date, but my experience is that these are currently implemented with a single image per book (which doesn't capture the variation in covers across editions, territories, etc.) and retrieve the cover image on-the-fly at time of display which is a bit limiting (I thought LibraryThing offered bulk download of covers but can only see the API details at the moment – although since they encourage local caching would be more possible to think about using some image analysis s/w across a locally cached set of covers relating to a specific collection)
The very concept of search is changing from what it used to be. One of the most enlightening blogs about search I have seen is SearchReSearch http://searchresearch1.blogspot.co.uk/ by Daniel Russell, who has the remarkable job title: "Über Tech Lead for Search Quality and User Happiness" at Google. The questions he asks and answers are of a completely new type. The latest one deals with a photo of a sculpture with no other information. Who is the sculptor? What is its name? Where is the sculpture housed? He says that this is a simple one that took only two minutes!
Another one is a photo Mr. Russell took of a street (somewhere) and the question struck me: what was I doing when I took this picture? (What a question!)
While the questions themselves may not be very realistic of genuine questions people ask, it is important to understand the sorts of questions that can be answered today. Earlier, such questions were more or less hopeless so no one asked them. Perhaps as people understand that these kinds of questions can be answered, they may find themselves asking them more often.
The way I found out about all of this is after watching a public lecture he gave, which I suggest to everyone, "What Does It Mean To Be Literate in the Age of Google?" http://hulk03.princeton.edu:8080/WebMedia/flash/lectures/20120228_publect_russell.shtml

A tongue in cheek post dedicated to my daughter 🙂
Inspired by a Facebook update status by my student daughter stating that she is bored I realized that if you are bored then you must be boring. I wrote a similar post exactly one year ago on this blog
I want to make a little comparison between my growing up in the 1970's and 1980's, although some would say that I have never grown up, and now, in the all singing, all dancing year of 2011. Of course I am comparing middle class with the same because I realize that all I have to say here may not be applicable to everyone but let's use her as a good example.
So what did we used to do in the 70's and 80's? We had a choice of staying in and watching tv, and there were only three or four channels depending on the year, and going out and walking around with our mates. By the mid 80's the Thatcherite cuts had closed most of the youth clubs, leisure centers were not ubiquitous and private health clubs and gyms… Yeah right. The usual activities of the non criminal variety were general nuisance such as hedge hopping, knock and run, and on one memorable occasion picking up a reliant robin between the lot of us and placing it in someone's garden behind the low wall with no way of getting it out.
So what choices are available to my daughter these days. Well she can go out walking around with her mates. She could even try hedge hopping and knock and run but would risk an asbo or whatever they are called these days.
– she could visit the subsidised gym provided by the University
– she could log onto the Internet through the ever present wifi where she lives and do a lot of things including watching failblogs, listening to music from anywhere, developing one of her websites, investigation for her final exams or an endless list of other stuff available on our window to the world.
– she could play with her Smartphone, taking photos, sending free messages using whatsapp, make free calls using Viber or, heaven forbid, make a FaceTime call to her parents to say hello.
– she could get her reflex slr camera and take a load of pictures for playing around with on the Mac later.
– she could actually start tidying her room ready for leaving because at her usual glacial pace the month that she has left to do it won't be enough.
– she could play one of her guitars
– she could break out the Playstation 2
– she could do some of the transcriptions she promised for me last year 😉
– she lives in Liverpool so she could visit any number of great bars and places as well as looking around the great city.
– did I mention she had an iPad. That opens up a whole range of possibilities too.
– she could get a job 😉
Poor students.
As I said anyone that says they are bored these days really doesn't know the real essence of the word. There are so many possibilities and things available to do that the only reason to be not doing something is because of the plethora of choice.
Despite the crisis.
She could even watch the tv if she were really, really bored.
PS The music was better though

Former EBU heavyweight champ Alexander Dimitrenko (32-1, 21KOs) was ringside for Sauerland Event´s big show on Saturday night and confirmed to this reporter that he indeed is planning to move forward with his fight against Kubrat Pulev (15-0, 7KOs) for the now vacant EBU on March 31 in Kiel.
"I am a free agent now," said Dimitrenko to BoxingScene.com. "I´m no longer with Universum and I'm signed to any promoter. I don´t know that much about Pulev. I have only seen him fight once but I do know he was a good amateur. But so was I - even if it was a long time ago.
Dimitrenko was forced to relinquish the title due to injury and it was then won by Robert Helenius, who beat Dereck Chisora but then Helenius became injured and had to give up the title.

@ July 28, 2014
I've been on a writing hiatus for about a year now – moved platforms to and fro, edited/customized blog appearances every so often that sometimes I don't see the meaning of blogs anymore but mere expressions of impulse and indecisiveness of the young.
I just want a blog that I can update regularly and is right within my grasp, you know. Something that's easy to maintain and is not too crowded with all the technical stuff that my pea-sized brain cannot even muster. I just want my blog to serve its real purpose – to be my e-diary. Something that would document my minute-to-minute musings and my day-to-day activities.
It'd be so nice to one day uncover all my posts and realize I have been a day happier, a month stronger, maybe even a year wiser.
So welcome to Chapter Thirty Confessions! This blog now houses all the stuff I've written over the past six years of my blogging life – from Blogger, to Tumblr to now, WordPress! Though I may have cultivated the Nice Guy Syndrome and wrote a few things about being nice and being otherwise, developed Pop Culture and Company and expressed my love for all things pop!, my life basically revolves around the pictures I take, the writings I inspire and the life captures I cherish.
Don't forget to hit the follow button. Happy browsing! ☺

Heightened visual awareness by following brains natural rhythms?.
The beat goes in the brain
Visual system can be entrained to future events
URBANA, Ill. — Like a melody that keeps playing in your head even after the music stops, researchers at the University of Illinois's Beckman Institute have shown that the beat goes on when it comes to the human visual system.
In an experiment designed to test their theory about a brain mechanism involved in visual processing, the researchers used periodic visual stimuli and electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings and found, one, that they could precisely time the brain's natural oscillations to future repetitions of the event, and, two, that the effect occurred even after the prompting stimuli was discontinued. These rhythmic oscillations lead to a heightened visual awareness of the next event, meaning controlling them could lead to better visual processing when it matters most, such as in environments like air traffic control towers.
The research was reported by Beckman and Department of Psychology faculty members Monica Fabiani, Gabriele Gratton, Diane Beck, Alejandro Lleras, first author and Beckman Fellow Kyle Mathewson, and undergraduate psychology student Christopher Prudhomme. The paper, Making Waves in the Stream of Consciousness: Entraining Oscillations in EEG Alpha and Fluctuations in Visual Awareness with Rhythmic Visual Stimulation, was published online in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.
The researchers wrote that this entrainment of brain oscillators can be used to lock the timing of repetitive brain activity and, therefore, enhance, "processing of subsequently predictable stimuli."
"In nature, rhythmicity is everywhere, so it makes sense that our brain has evolved to be sensitive to rhythms in the world and to be able to latch on to them to improve neural processing," Lleras said. "It's very nice to be able to show that not only does the brain work in this oscillatory fashion but that we can harness that property that is inherent to the brain and use it to control the brain's response."
The research line goes back to a discovery by Mathewson of a pulsed inhibition mechanism in the brain that is based on oscillations in the alpha phase. This discovery supported the theory that the brain sometimes samples the visual environment in rhythmic "frames" rather than continuously, as the term "brain waves" implies.
This new work using EEG measurements demonstrated that not only do these repetitive oscillations influence what we see in the world, but those momentary snapshots are controllable.
"Simply by exposing the brain to a predictable sequence of events, people were not only more likely to detect a faint target but we could see the brain oscillations shift to line up with the rhythmic sequence and target," Beck said.
Moreover, the entrained oscillations continued even after the visual stimuli ended, and the attention of test subjects still showed greater predictive awareness of future visual events when they were in time with the previous rhythm.
"This corresponds to our theory that changes in the ability to perceive stimuli that occur rhythmically are in fact determined by the oscillations in the brain," Gratton said.

What is one thing you would like to work on next year?
Something I thought we would be better at this year is that I thought my 3 yo would be a bit better behaved. She is a pretty good kid, but man is she defiant. I also thought she would get better at playing independently so I could get work done with my older daughter. Nope.
I'd also like to work on the arguing between the girls. It does not matter how many discussions we have about this, it doesn't end and I am going INSANE.
I did respond about this in the other post where you mentioned this issue. But I want to add some insight that changed my world with my two boys, one who is a compliant child and one who is defiant. More often than not, the arguing and insanity in our life was due to my reaction to the behavior of my younger son. What I mean to say is, that my perception of how he "should" behave was tainting my response to who he was as a person. He was/is soooo different from me and from my older son, that I was thinking something may be wrong with him, like "How come he keeps doing THAT?!!" or "Why can't he just stop that?!!" He was just being himself and I was wanting more compliance. Really, in my heart, I was kinda wanting him to be more like his older brother who was very compliant. So, I finally understood that I was more the problem. And yes, that was a hard pill to swallow, because I am darn near perfect, LOL! NOT!
So, once I began to parent them differently things began to improve. They were/are different people right? So they need different things from me. I am not trying to tell you how to parent your children, but just what worked for me. Be patient, no, be VERY patient : ) You will figure this out, I'm sure of it.
I'd like to walk through a tour of this Japanese school that's half an hour from us, but I keep putting it on the back burner. They aren't a year round school so I need to do it or I'll loose my chance to incorporate that into next year. If I like the place I'd like the kids to pick up more Japanese and learn more about their culture, it's a goal to someday take a family trip to Japan.
I'm just unorganized by nature. With a 3 1/2 & 1 1/2 year old wanting in on all the schooling action, I've gotta be prepared!
Their are several things. This year was a transition year for us.
1. I need to break our negative discipline cycle with Cole. I need to write down a game plan on how to work with him, so we aren't spending all of our time at loggerheads. If I write it down, it's easier to fall back on than just yelling/crying/threatening/ ignoring.
2. I need to get us back on a firm schedule. All the kids NEED a defined schedule. Not an inflexible one, but more than what we have.
3. I want to work more on writing with Missie.
4. I am thinking of adding some guided play for Theo, so he feels less at loose ends.
Life skills for us too!
Since my boys will be 15 and 12 in July, this is an important area for us. Here are some things I will incorporate into our daily life: budgeting, weekly meal planning, making one meal a week for the whole family, car care, doing laundry from beginning to end...from sorting to washing to drying to folding and then putting it away (right now I only make them bring it down stairs and then put it away when it is done).
This coming fall will be our first time homeschooling so I'm not 100% sure what one thing we want to do but I do have a few ideas:
1. Work specifically on multiplication and division with my daughter; the public school definitely did her a disservice in the area of math.
2. She wants to learn more cooking, so we are going to try cooking one new meal together per week.
3. Work on pre-reading skills with my 4 year old and continue working on his printing.
4. Get outside!! I'm so excited to get to do learning out in nature and on field trips with the kids that my goal is to do a field trip once a week.
Other than that, we are hoping for a smooth transition from public school to homeschooling and are so excited!!

Welcome to
The Landing Page Conversion Course
In this 11-part course landing page expert Oli Gardner and 10 renowned conversion rate optimization experts (including Rand Fishkin, Peep Laja, Michael Aagaard, Copyblogger, Hubspot and more), will walk you through how to create high-converting landing pages. The course includes step-by-step instructional videos so you can follow along, creating your own landing pages as you go.
For full course details, visit the main course landing page.
Part 1: Landing Page 101
Let's start things off with an important statement…
Never. Start. A. Marketing. Campaign. Without. A. Dedicated. Landing. Page.
Otherwise known as the NSAMCWADLP principle. Got it? Good.
Today's Course Outline
Today's all about the fundamentals, so you're not allowed to pass go until you understand the following:
What is a landing page?
Landing pages vs. homepages
What can landing pages be used for?
Message match
Estimated time for lesson
Today's lesson should take approximately 20 minutes including the video.
1. What is a landing page?
A landing page can be any page that someone lands on after clicking on an online marketing call-to-action. Dedicated, promotion-specific landing pages are what we'll be focusing on. Dedicated landing pages are standalone pages that are designed for a specific marketing campaign.
By standalone I mean that it has no ties to your website, like global navigation. In essence it floats alone, only accessible from the link you're providing in your marketing content (the call-to-action in an email for example).
The purpose of a landing page falls into two categories:
to capture leads that enable you to market to people in the future, or
to "warm up" potential customers to the product you are trying to sell to them before sending them further into your sales funnel.
This creates the need for two types of landing page – a lead generation page and a click-through page.
Lead generation landing pages
The most valuable piece of information you can get from a lead gen page is someone's email address – which gives you permission to continue talking/marketing to them.
Once you have a lead's permission, you then try to convert them into a customer by combining the two most powerful 1-to-1 communication tools a marketer has – email and landing pages.
Here's an example lead gen form, that's designed to capture user and/or company data in exchange for something – in this case an ebook.
Click-through landing pages
Click-through pages (sometimes called jump pages) are designed as a conduit between a marketing ad and it's final destination. The goal of a click-through page is to "warm-up" the visitor to the product/service you are trying to sell.
Commonly used for ecommerce, click-through pages provide enough information to inform the buyer, making them ready to purchase, before pushing them further down the funnel – probably to a shopping cart or checkout.
Here's an example click-through page. Videos or product images paired with a description and product benefits help to persuade the visitor to click the call-to-action.
Landing pages live separately from your website and are designed to only receive campaign traffic. As we'll see, this separation allows them to be focused on a single objective and makes analytics, reporting & testing a simpler task.
2. Dedicated landing pages vs. homepages
If you compare a homepage vs. a landing page you can see why landing pages are so important to your marketing's success.
Your homepage is designed with a more general purpose in mind. It speaks to your overall brand and corporate values and is typically loaded with links and navigation to other areas of your site. It's designed to encourage exploration.
Your landing pages are designed for one purpose only.
Think of the links on your page as leaks. Each link on your page that doesn't represent your conversion goal is a distraction that will dilute your message and reduce your conversion rate.
Consider the example below that shows the WebTrends homepage which contains over 60 links. Don't get me wrong, it's a great homepage, just not a good landing page.
What would you do here?
Landing pages should have all navigation and extra links removed so there is only a single action for your visitors to take. Click your call-to-action.
3. What are landing pages used for?
The potential uses for landing pages are almost limitless but here are the more common examples of how landing pages are used:
To collect personal information (generate leads) in exchange for:
- Reports/Whitepapers with important industry facts and statistics.
- Ebooks for comprehensive guides about different aspects of your business vertical.
- Newsletters with tips related to your area of subject matter expertise.
- Podcasts for people who like to listen & learn during a commute or workout.
- Checklists/Scorecards for people that like to see how well they are doing and/or benefit from a to-do list.
- Blog subscription to receive ongoing content via email or RSS.
- Webinar registration for live online sessions, often with Q&A with experts and special guest presenters.
- Presentations or recorded sessions including video or slides.
- Consultation services or booking meetings for someone to request your time or services.
- An ecourse delivered over a period of time – just like the one you're reading now!
"Warming" prospects up to your offering before you push them deeper into your sales funnel to:
- Purchase your product or service online.
- Become a customer or subscriber of your online business.
- Or any of the lead capture uses listed above, if you want to use an introductory page before sending them on to the landing page with your lead gen form.
Landing pages can, and should, be used for all of your campaign needs. Remember – Never, I repeat — Never start a campaign without a landing page.
4. The power of message match
Message match is an essential part of why landing pages can be so successful. Message match is the ability of your landing page to reinforce the messaging presented on the link that was clicked to reach the page.
Most visitors are impatient and will leave your page within a few seconds of arrival if you don't reinforce their intent with a matching headline and purpose (quickly and clearly).
This example shows a comparison of good and bad message match on a landing page used for a pay-per-click campaign:
|Call-to-action message
|Landing page headline
|Bad message match
|Get 50% off a Dell Inspiron 9000
|Welcome to Dave's Computer Store
|Good message match
|Get 50% off a Dell Inspiron 9000
|Get 50% off a Dell Inspiron 9000 at Dave's Computer Store
By ensuring a strong message match, you are letting the visitor know that they made a "good click".
A weak message match will result in a higher bounce rate and thus a drop in conversion rate.
Another example of good message match
Here's an example of a banner ad and a landing page, that shows excellent message match.
Not only is the copy perfectly matched here, but there is also a very strong "design match", where the visual treatment of the landing page has been incorporated into the banner, helping to further reinforce the connection between banner and landing page.
Maximizing conversion scent – a.k.a. message match
Conversion scent, or information scent, is another way of describing the connection between your source ad and your landing page. The scent begins when the ad is seen, and is maintained or ended when the visitor sees your landing page (depending on how strong your message match is).
In this short presentation, Rand Fishkin – CEO of MOZ.com, uses some examples to illustrate this concept perfectly, showing how to do it right and also how to do it very wrong.
The more contextually related your page headlines are to the calls-to-action people clicked on, the more likely those prospects are to make the connection that your landing page is for them. A great way to ensure your message match is strong is to write your ad CTA on a piece of paper and your landing page headline on another piece of paper underneath. Then look at your ad copy and turn the page. Does your paper click lead to a matched experience?
Let's see today's course in action!
To round out the first day of the course, we've got a video for you so you can observe just how bad message match can be. You'll witness firsthand the impact it can have on the experience of your visitors.
We'll also show how quickly and easily you can fix the problem if you're using landing pages.
Remember to follow along with a free Unbounce landing page account
If you'd like to follow along with the course videos and build your landing pages as we go, you can open a free Unbounce account (60 seconds to sign up – no credit card required). This will let you create landing pages for the examples we use throughout the course.
Watch this video to see bad message match in action – and how to easily fix it

Link Resolutions For 2014
January 16, 2014 | Seo | 2 Comments|
Link building in 2013 would be interesting. There were some of the big shakeups that other people have covered in their articles and published them on web but i will not go into that. In this article it is discussed about the resolutions for 2014.
Check out your Backlink profile: If you have never made your own link report, then do so now. There are some tools that can help you to check out your backlink profile. You can consider Bing's and Google's webmaster tools for checking up your backlink profile.
- Keep an eye on your links: You should keep a constant eye on your links as the links once placed on others website by you can be removed or interchanged by those website owners. And once these links are removed, the chances of fall in rankings increases. So check out the links placed by you. Also keep a record of the sites where you place those links. This record will help you to check your links later on without any trouble.
- Set up Bing's and Google's webmaster tools. These tools are available free and take almost no time to set up. So set them for each of the site. Don't just set up them and leave them unattended forever. They consists of some fantastic tools that can help you to analyze your sites.
- Stop preying with only metrics: It is not like, metrics don't matter but that is a simplistic and an incorrect view. If a website looks like a great place in terms of your link but not much in terms of metrics, then go for it. You may not get any benefit from a site with PR4 if it is irrelevant to your site. So if you have a chance to get a link on the new blog that has some great social grip but does not have the metrics yet, then take it.
- Look at how your pages appear in search engine results: If you are wondering that you rank number 2 in search engine result pages but are not getting traffic, then look at the sites present above and below you. If you liked to click on them, then do something about your site. Having links on high quality sites can boost your rankings but you should make sure that when we move you up, then it is important that you should generate clicks.
- Ask someone to guest post on your site: Instead of asking the sites via emails, for the guest post on their sites, ask for the guest posts on your site. It is less me, me and me and a more of give and take.
- If you are going to have a social presence, maintain it: Nothing is more irritating than seeing a business that has not being tweeted in 15 months. So, if you are doing social, then do it well. Give response to people who speak to you, spend more time in giving back instead of just drawing their attention towards yourself. Besides this, keep an eye on what is being said about your brand.

"Hi Barbara
First off I cannot contribute much - tested m & my brother tested YDNA at the same time.....last year we both did the Family Finder Tests. I note so many of your group with our surnames that perhaps I can be of help to someone and perhaps someone could help me also. My brother and I belong to the Ireland Group, Cumberland Gap Group and I belong to the Haplo 'V' Group. My brother also belongs to the LOVE DNA project.
I will list all the names we search . Some I know are from MD, some went into PA and many went on into VA , KY and TN.
Beard - connects to our Gaither..................Ijams - connects to our Gaither........Ogg - connects to our Gaither
all in Anne Arundel Co MD, before going to NC
Ryan - of possibly Baltimore connected there to Daniel McComesky then to Amherst Co VA then NC and KY
pre Rev War
Griffith - not sure of MD connection, but believe our line was early PA to VA to TN
Fuller - Henry Fuller b 1717 Baltimore pre Rev War, parents John and Sarah Fuller, went to Augusta Co VA md Catherine Salling
Wright - possibly Oyster Bay NY family....traversed MD - PA - York VA, finally Amherst Co VA c Rev War
Randle/Randall - Augusta Co VA, md into Beavers, Clack families of early VA
Green - of VA pre Rev War - allied names Vinson, Bass, Wherry, Rankin our line settled NC and Wilson Co TN
Scott (connected to our Felps/Fulps line) not sure if any MD connection, Michael Felp/Fulp b 1755 Lancaster Co
PA served Rev War, settled Stokes Co NC md Phebe Scott - her family is supposed to have originated in Conneticut in the 1740's
Love - have no clue if this family was ever in MD, we believe we are the PA Love family.....my maiden name was Love
I have at least some info on some families and a lot on others...I could share - if any of your DNA group want to email me.
I would love to find a connection to some of these MD surnames listed

- Foot Switches with Trailing Plug & Socket
These two foot-operated safety switches are equipped with trailing plugs and sockets and can easily be inserted between the mains supply and any machine fitted with a no-volt-release switch, such as a drill, bandsaw or lathe. Operation of the switch interrupts the supply to the solenoid and the machine is stopped; re-starting can only be achieved by operating the NVR switch on the machine, creating an excellent safety measure in those situations where safety is of paramount importance, such as educational establishments.

Amouage Lyric is an oriental floral fragrance for women with a strong spicy character from an independent luxury brand of niche perfumes based in London, which is inspired by the rich and varied heritage of its place of origin, the Sultanate of Oman. Lyric perfectly captures femininity, strength and passion and is, like all fragrances made by Amouage, uniquely inspiring.
Lyric by Amouage brings a completely new approach to the use of the aroma of roses in perfume-making. It employs this traditional note of the queen of flowers in a truly unique way: Spicy and resinous, Amouage Lyric is an oriental, rich and intricately complex approach to the rose. The spicy character of the composition becomes apparent from the very first moment. The head binds together refreshing accords of bergamot with spicy ginger, contrasted with the warm velvety notes of cardamom and cinnamon. In the heart, you will encounter the royal crimson rose surrounded by an entourage of creamy and wealthy accords of ylang-ylang and jasmine and iris root. Fiery geraniums provide a spicy edge to the heart, while angelica surrenders its fresh sweetness. The deep, sensual finish comes with accords of oakmoss, musk, patchouli, vetiver, tonka beans, incense, vanilla and sandalwood, accompanied by other woody notes.
The full aroma of Lyric, floral in structure but darkly intense and modern in ways that are very unusual in this type of fragrance, uniquely marries rose to elements that are warm, spicy, woody, balsamic and aromatic. According to the creators of Amouage Lyric, "the fleeting beauty and clarity of this fragrance sings a lasting spicy ode without beginning or end. Inspired by the rose, Lyric is a floral oriental fragrance suspended in time and with a mythical melody."
The supremely original Amouage Lyric, with its specific femininity full of strength and passion, is suitable for day and evening wear throughout the year. It will never fail to make its wearer feel truly unique and stand out from the crowd. Lyric will be particularly appreciated by women who enjoy a very original approach to the scent of roses in an oriental spirit with a distinctive spicy touch.
Besides the arresting fragrances, which are the result of a manufacturing process meeting the strictest standards of quality, all the perfumes made by Amouage also stand out with their luxurious packaging. The Lyric bottle, in gorgeous deep red, excites with its elegant, sleek and sumptuous design. The packaging is completed by a subtly sophisticated box with a rose motif. Try a fragrance from a highly original brand and fall in love with its unique and remarkably successful interpretation of the scent of roses.
Amouage Lyric – the scent of roses in an original composition that beautifully captures femininity, strength and passion.

I'm going to be honest with you. Competitive cycling is not my favorite sport. It's ok but it's got a lot of subtleties that are just kind of....confusing. Time bonuses? 23 days straight? A team where only one member wins? Who can keep it straight?
Baseball. Now that's a game. 9 innings, 3.5 hours, final. 0.4 seconds to decide whether or not to swing. Hit and run, suicide squeeze, and cutoff. Curveball, screwball, and spitball. Brush offs and walkoffs. Now those are sports terms. While the rest of my co-miners here at the salt mine may not share my enthusiasm for such "Ball and stick" sports one thing we all can agree on is the simple pleasure of a nice bike ride.
One local baseball gem, the Madison Mallards have married America's greatest pastime with the simple bicycle ride by accomodating those who decide to Go By Bike to their games this summer. The Trek Bicycle Store "Bike Blind" (a play on the word "Duck Blind" which ironically is something you sit in while you are attempting to kill ducks) is an area next to the entrance that features a free secure bike valet and the stadium's best parking. On Saturdays friendly Trek Store staff will be on hand for bike washing and simple maintenance while you enjoy the game.
The Bike Blind is the brainchild of the Mallards front office who noticed that their standard bike racks were often full and some of their fans were forced to find more creative methods of bike parking. Having a guarded, secure area is nice but the best part is definitely the country club coat room-style service you get. If you plan on heading out to the game, forget about worrying about parking. Take the bike.
