Very Important:
The fix for this bug means that going forward Organize Series requires WordPress 3.7. This version of Organize Series will not work on any version of WordPress less than 3.7, so keep that in mind. Update WordPress, before you update Organize Series.
The fix also applied Organize Series Publisher as well. Everything mentioned above applies.]]>
It has come to our attention that a small number of customers are having problems with Organize Series not saving their icons when attaching images to series via the Manage Series page. For the few customers where this has happened we've localized the problem to one of the two issues.
The problem stems from a decision made a LOOONG time ago back in the early years of Organize Series to name the table holding the icons as "orgSeriesIcons" and using CamelCase in mySQL table names is generally a "nono".
We're currently working on a fix to the table name for an upcoming release. However, for those users comfortable with directly manipulating your database through a tool such as phpmyadmin (AND who need a fix immediately!):
If the above does not work then please report back here so I know those steps don't work for certain db setups. THEN what you can do is search through all the organizeseries files and replace all instances of the text "orgSeriesIcons" with "orgseriesicons", then deactivate and reactivate Organize Series and things should be fixed.
For the few users experiencing this issue, I apologize for the trouble, we're hoping to get a release with a fix out before the end of the weekend.]]>
Oh and by the way, if you've found Organize Series to be helpful, can you help us out a bit by taking a few minutes and posting a review? Your reviews help us, help you. Thanks!]]>
Translators: There are some new strings for Organize Series Core – if you can visit our glotpress installation and update the translations that would be AWESOME! Next week I'm planning on putting up a page that will enable users to download various translations that have been prepared AND give recognition to our contributors!
We've released Organize Series Extra Tokens 0.8 as well. Here's the update notes:
Just a couple things in this update:
This addon does one thing, and one thing well. Make it possible to not only use Organize Series with WordPress pages but ALSO any custom post type you may have active on your blog that you want to use Organize Series with. Yeah, groovy. Make sure you visit the FAQ to read more about this neato addition to the Organize Series family.
Oh, and I should mention. If you decide to purchase and use this addon, you'll need to make sure the Organize Series core plugin is up to date. If you are a user of Organize Series Multiples, you'll need to make sure it's up to date as well.]]>
To install:
That's it!]]>
CPT stands for "Custom Post Type" and this addon enables Custom Post Type support for Organize Series. Which means, with this addon, not only can you use series with WordPress posts, but you can also create series with pages, or any other WordPress Custom Post Type
Yup! Or any other custom post type that you may have active on your WordPress site. Oh and you know what is even cooler? The series can have parts across different post types. That means you could have part one that is a post, and part two that is a page, and part three that is a another post type… Personally, I don't really think it's a great idea to have a series run across multiple post types but you can do it if you want.
Yes sir/ma'am. All the stuff you are used to doing with posts can now be done with this addon active.
Yes. But you could see some funky things happen with your post types that are part of a series (especially if you decided to span series across different post types).
No, more than likely you just haven't visited the series options page (in the WP Settings menu of your WordPress admin). At the top you'll see some checkboxes next to the names of custom post types active on your WordPress website. You just need to check the ones you want to use Organize Series with and then save the options and you'll be good to go.
At the moment, no. That's a good idea though (why didn't I think of that?)! Right now any changes you make in the series template fields will apply across all post types that Organize Series is being used with. HOWEVER, if you are php savvy (or know someone who is) you can use the provided Organize Series template tags (functions) and some conditionals to change the output depending on what post type is being displayed. (oh, we also have a line on some great developers who could do it for you if you want… just contact us).
Yes, it most certainly will. Just make sure you are using at least Organize Series Multiples 0.8+ because there is some special sauce added to the Multiples addon so custom support types work properly there.
Have any other questions? Ask away in the comments! The really good ones will be updated in this post.]]>
instead of
in certain cases.
I just want to highlight a couple new features:
This had been requested by a number different users. Now, when setting up the Latest Series widget, you can choose to have the series listed in a random order every time a page is loaded that the widget is on. Let's say you have a total of 10 series, this feature allows you to have the list only show 3 series but every time a user visits a page they will see three random series from the 10 total series you have. Pretty cool eh? And it's super easy to use, just select "random" from the orderby drop down. You're welcome.
Thanks to the efforts of a new guy on our team (announcement introducing him will come in the future), we have a brand new feature that was also requested. It used to be that you could not have a draft, scheduled, or pending post in a series with a specific part and then when it's published it would keep that part and all existing parts in the series would automatically renumber. There was also some funky stuff that would go on if you moved posts in and out of being published while they were part of a series (i.e a post have something like "part 4 of 3″ or something like that"). This has all been fixed (well we're pretty sure it is anyway). Not only did we fix this but we laid the groundwork for another requested feature in the next release.
Now when you save a draft (or pending, or scheduled). You can choose to have that post be a specific part in the series and the post will "remember" that. Also, on the edit post page when viewing the information about series, posts that belong to the same series as your unpublished post will show something like "Part 1 of 3 (4)" where the number in brackets indicates the total posts in the series INCLUDING unpublished. Very handy. When an unpublished posts is published, it will retain it's set part and all the other posts in the series will renumber automatically. Groovy. Let us know how it works!
Oh, and we also made sure that Organize Series Multiples will still work well with this new formatting (and you'll see some slight changes to the ui there as well).
Know what the best part about the new features we put in? It's included with the core plugin. So you don't have to be a user with a paid package in order to get the new features! We try to be nice sometimes.
OH, and one more thing… we need TRANSLATORS! Yup, a number of people have contacted me over the past year and have asked if they can contribute a translation to Organize Series. While Organize Series has always had the code in place to allow for internationalization, we just haven't been in the position to make user translations easily available here on OrganizeSeries.com. That's all changed. Now all we need are some translators to help us get the ball rolling on helping our international users see Organize Series in their own language. Can you help? If so, go to the translator page and get started!

Dreaming, also known as DreamingPaws (born November, 1992, in Merseyside, England), is a furry artist who currently lives in Manchester, England. "Dreaming" is a fandom pen-name rather than an individual fursona or character's name, whereas "DreamingPaws" is commonly used outside of the fandom. They experiment with several fursonas, but usually state their primary fursona as either a great spotted woodpecker or a hellhound.
Dreaming discovered the fandom in June 2009, but remained relatively inactive in the community following this discovery, and completely inactive between 2010 and 2011.

TUKWILA — Mario Martinez craved a taste of home.
Within hours of his arrival to Seattle this month, the first priority for the newest Sounders FC acquisition was finding a Honduran restaurant — and that appetite was quickly satisfied.
"I don't know where it was," the 23-year-old midfielder said through an interpreter, "but it was really good."
The Sounders hope his inclusion into the team will be just as rewarding, and there's reason to think it will be.
Martinez, who was acquired on loan from Honduran club Real Espana, is coming off a breakthrough performance in the London Olympics. He helped lead Honduras to the quarterfinals by scoring a goal against powerhouse Brazil.
Dynamic. Confident. Skilled. Martinez's career seems primed to take off.
"We're happy we did his deal before he had that run in the Olympics, for sure," said coach Sigi Schmid. "It certainly has drawn some notice for him."
While the Sounders were able to secure Martinez before teams worldwide could swoop in, they will have to share the playmaker with the Honduran national team in September during FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Honduras plays two big games against Cuba next month — on the road on Sept. 7 and at home on Sept. 11 — and Martinez said Wednesday that he will be involved. More qualifiers against Panama and Canada await in October.
The Sounders knew Martinez's participation with the national team was a possibility when they acquired him, and Schmid called it a reflection of the midfielder's quality.
Becoming a regular on the international scene would be another step forward in Martinez's career.
"The Olympics was a big step. Coming here to Seattle is another big step. So, yeah, I think if you look at it all together, my career is absolutely in a good spot," he said. "I'm very motivated, and I'm going to keep working hard."
Martinez, who could make his debut Saturday at Chivas USA, saw his first action with the team in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS Reserve League. Schmid described the performance as "OK," but noted Martinez had arrived only two days earlier, so the integration process had just begun.
"I think all that will get better," Schmid said. "It was already better (Wednesday) than it was in the game."
Martinez said the Sounders have been very welcoming and that, as a non-English speaker, he's received a lot of help from his Latino teammates. Fredy Montero described Martinez as "quiet" but said that was normal coming to a new team, league and country.
And even as Martinez begins to settle into his new environment, he still thinks of home.
"What's exciting is that every time a Honduran player comes (to MLS), it opens the door for another player," Martinez said. "I just am glad to be here, and hopefully I do a good job in Seattle to keep that door open for another player who could come in the future."

When Jamie first came to speak at my office I had just learned I was pre-diabetic. I didn't feel as though I was an unhealthy eater. I had been exercising regularly and really didn't eat sweets. With Jamie's simple and easy suggestions I have lost about 20 pounds. Jamie opened my eyes to the importance of how I feed myself. With her help, I have more energy and have really developed an appreciation for everything my body does. All I can say is, thanks Jamie!
– Sheldon Blair., Project & Installation Resource Specialist, CRI
Jamie has a great down-to-earth style of speaking. Because her talks are more conversational, I never felt like I was being lectured on how or what to eat. It was more of a "here are the tools, lets figure it out" style of speaking. She also seems to get that everyone has different needs. She is very attentive to these individual needs and is quick to provide great resources and valuable insight. I look forward to attending more of her workshops.
– Emily Z., Clif Bar Employee
Dear Jamie, I have attended several of your workshops and I cannot thank you enough for the service you are providing. Not only am I benefitting from your wisdom and advice, I am passing it on to my co-workers and we are all making changes in how we eat and think about our bodies. An excellent communicator, you present the material in bite-size pieces that is easy to remember. You have given me a new way to take care of my body and I appreciate it so very much.

7. Don Chandler and the double kick off
Focus On Sport/Getty Images
Bob Hope is interviewed during Super Bowl III featuring the Baltimore Colts and the New York Jets at the Orange Bowl on January 12, 1969 in Miami, Florida.
The role that television plays during today's Super Bowl coverage is undeniably important and apparently it was just as critical during the first one ever played. As to be expected however, there were some kinks 43 years ago and Green Bay Packers kicker Don Chandler definitely found that out. Chandler had to kick off twice to start the second half of the game because NBC didn't catch the play on air. The network was busy interviewing Bob Hope and missed the kick. No worries, NBC just extinguished the play from the record books. Oh the power of television.

Google seeks guinea pigs for glasses project
The company puts out the call for 'explorers' with $1,500 to spare to buy and test out its high-tech specs.
You won't get paid, though. In fact, the company is asking "explorers" to plunk down $1,500 plus tax for their own glasses and travel to New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles to pick them up in person.
That seems a little stingy for a company with nearly $15 billion in the bank. But people are jumping into the contest, sending in their applications of 50 words or less on Twitter and Google's social-networking site, Google+. The entries are due by the end of the month.
Google is clearly looking for online influencers in the contest. It wants people who use Twitter, and it's encouraging photos and a short video with each application. It wants people who have a spare $1,500 to blow on the technology.
The company is revealing a little more about what those high-tech glasses actually do. From a series of photos posted on the Glass website, it looks users will be able to take photos of what they see by simply saying, "take a picture." They can record movies. They can see maps and directions on the lenses. They can get flight status information and ask questions, such as "How long is the Brooklyn Bridge?"
Google has posted a video of what wearing the glasses looks like.
People are responding on Twitter using the #ifihadglass hashtag. A restaurant owner said she would record a shift at work. A baseball umpire said he would document his behind-the-plate view. Other people promised to record and share their road trips. Others said they would take more photos of their daiy lives.
But the #ifihadglass jokes were coming in fast and furious as well. Here are some of the more humorous responses:
- "I would try to look cool while I was gobbling motion-sickness pills by the handful."
- "I would ask them how to fight a mugger while they were being stolen off my face."
- "I would walk around yelling 'Enhance' while obviously checking out hot girls."
- "I'd look like half my face was scaffolded for resurfacing."
- "I'd look like elves had given up building a monorail to connect my ears."

October 2013 14:29 / mortenbock / / Comments (0) I just got my new Lumia 1020 which runs Windows Phone 8, and wanted to set up my Google stuff to sync with the phone. I use two factor auth, and after creating an application specific password, it synced up alle my email, and my own calendars. But my wife's shared calendar did not show up, and given the history of issues between google and Windows Phone, I started searching for a solution. The Lumia 1020 is no longer using Active Sync, so all the old guides were no longer relevant. By pure luck, I stumbled on a post with this link: https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect That will let you select which calendars should be synced when using CalDAV access, which is what the Lumia 1020 is now using. You might need to remove/save/add the checkbox for syncing calendars for your google account on your phone before it shows up, but I now have the shared calendar in there as well. I hope this might help out others struggling with this. 901c9aa0-9ff7-4d3a-8e45-d4006c506f89|1|4.0|96d5b379-7e1d-4dac-a6ba-1e50db561b04 Tags : windows phone , google

GE acquires Cameron's reciprocating-compression unit in a $550M deal
New York, NY, United States (4E) – General Electric Co. announced on Monday that it will purchase Cameron International Corp.'s reciprocating-compression unit for $550mn as the conglomerate seeks to strengthen its downstream operations.
The transaction includes the oil-and-gas equipment maker's higher horsepower, high-speed reciprocating compressors used for oil and gas production, processing and distribution, which have helped the boom in the North American shale oil and gas industry.
The Cameron division, which offers reciprocating-compression equipment and aftermarket parts and services, has around 900 employees and has sales of around $355mn in 2012.
GE Oil & Gas, which is among the fastest-growing units at GE, will add the Cameron business to its new downstream-technology-solutions unit.
Profits at the division have surged at an average 16 percent over the previous three years, as orders reach about $20bn, with the downstream business valued at $11bn.
GE said in a statement that the deal will bring the company in a strategic position to serve the industry globally as shale continues to grow in other parts of the world like Asia and South America.
The Houston-based Cameron said it expects to record a $100mn loss on the sale, reflecting the write-off of goodwill. The transaction will likely be completed later this year subject to approval from regulators.

Gizmodo Blogger: 'PR Kowtowing' To WSJ's Mossberg 'Should Have Ended Five Years Ago'
Gizmodo editorial director Brian Lam wants PR professionals to stop giving preferential treatment to The Wall Street Journal. He tweeted last night:
PR kowtowing to walt should have ended 5 years ago. the emperor has no clothes. and no one under 40 reads him
Lam, and Engadget's Joshua Topolsky were upset because The Journal's personal tech guru Walt Mossberg posted a story on TiVo's new "TiVo Premiere" model before they were able to.
Initially, Lam accused Mossberg of breaking an embargo, but it appears he had "his own private publish time," according to Lam.
Having previously worked in tech PR, we'll say this: it's unfortunate if Mossberg was indeed given a "private publish time," which basically means TiVo gave Mossberg an exclusive and then briefed a bunch of other reporters under embargo.
Reporters, of course, hate this. It seems Lam and the other bloggers should be more upset with TiVo PR. Yelling at Walt isn't going to do any good. Walt is a competitor, and a competitor at a much stronger and well-known brand, at that.
According to this release, Ruder Finn handled PR for the "Tivo Premiere" release.

Newsvendor "Pull-to-Center" Effect: Adaptive Learning in a Laboratory Experiment
AbstractIn the newsvendor game, the expected-profit-maximizing order quantity is higher in the demand interval when the per-unit profit margin is high and lower in the demand interval when the per-unit profit margin is low. However, laboratory experiments show a "pull-to-center" effect: average order quantities are too low when they should be high and vice versa. We replicate this pull-to-center effect in laboratory experiments and construct an adaptive learning model that incorporates memory, reinforcement, and probabilistic choice to explain individual decisions. The intuition underlying the model's prediction is that the most recent demand observation is more likely to have been greater than the optimal order quantity if the optimal order quantity is low, in which case a recency bias tends to pull the order quantity upward. A countervailing downward pull exists if the optimal order quantity is high. The recency effect may be augmented by a reinforcement bias, which causes subjects to focus more on the profitability of decisions they actually make and less on counterfactual payoffs that would have resulted from other order quantities. The predictions of this model track the observed data patterns across treatments. A pull-to-center pattern is also observed in designs involving doubled payoffs and reduced order frequency.

Q&A: What should I do about a varicose vein on my labia?
I have a huge varicose vein on my upper right leg. I am wearing TED anti emboloisim stockings for this. I recently discovered that I have another varicose vein on the right labia (lip) of my vagina. It is located at the very top of the labia close to the clitoris. It is constantly being rubbed with every step I take. It is very swollen and irritated. Is there anything I can do about this? I am 25 weeks pregnant and my next visit to the doctor is three weeks away. Do you have any suggestions until then?
There are girdles you can wear that extend the compression up to and including the vulva (labia, etc.). This type of varicose vein is not usually a source of embolism, but can be miserable in spite of its harmless nature. It will probably go away after delivery, but won't before. Lay on your left side as much as possible and try the girdle.

ARLINGTON, Texas – After a week of criticism following a poor performance at Seattle, the Cowboys' special teams shook off their prior struggles and stepped up against Tampa Bay.
While it seemed like everything that could go wrong did against the Seahawks, the special teams made a number of very positive plays against the Buccaneers. The coverage unit recovered a muffed punt by Tampa Bay's Jordan Shipley,
But perhaps the most exciting of the special teams' plays was a 44- yard punt return by
"Very nice," said Jones. "We've been wanting him to find that straight line past that first wave and he did that. When he's got that running room, he's hard to defend on punt returns."
Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis claimed that there is still room for improvement in terms of punt returning, but that it was nice to see Bryant taking advantage of the situation.
"We've just got to keep working on that phase of it," DeCamillis said. "Unfortunately, we got some balls down the middle that we should have probably capitalized on earlier today, but I thought he did a good job."
The one phase of the special teams that has not been questioned all season is the kicking ability of Bailey, who has been excellent with his field goals. DeCamillis said, though, that field goals are not Bailey's only strength; he has also been great with kickoffs.
"Danny's done a good job," DeCamillis said. "He gave us three touchbacks today. And then on the one we got them at the 12-yard line. So he's done a great job in kickoffs and hopefully we can continue to excel in that area."
DeCamillis talked about the overall performance of the special teams against Tampa compared to the loss in Seattle.
"I thought the kids really played hard. I thought they prepared well. And I thought they prepared well for Seattle. On the other side, they did a heck of a job making plays on us last week, but the kids bounced back today."
DeCamillis also made a point that people can be too fickle when judging special teams. He explained that one disappointing performance should not characterize a season.
"A lot of times, what you don't recognize is the other team gets paid, too," DeCamillis said. "They're out there trying to make plays on us and they made plays on us last week. … We're going to keep working at it and keep getting better."
Special teams expert and team captain
"Most of the time, when special teams do something good, it's not really recognized," McCray said. "You can kick it and tackle people inside the 20, then people will be like 'Yeah, whatever, the defense is coming out.' But when you get punts blocked, it's like 'Oh, special teams sucked.'"
Fortunately, the Cowboys' special teams unit is a close-knit group full of players trying to prove themselves. McCray explains that they have the same mentality whether they are being praised or criticized."For us, it's always kind of that underdog mentality," McCray said. "After last week, it was, 'We need to show them who we really are.' As a team, last week – offense, defense and special teams – it was kind of behind the 8-ball, so we came out this week and wanted to show something different. And we came out and made some plays and it was exciting."

Gomata- Indigenous Cow or Exotic Cow?
Hare Krishna mataji, PAMHO. Very interesting article, however I do not agree with the description of Vedic and Non-vedic cows. Krishna is the supreme personality of Godhead and he is Supreme personality of Godhead for all humanity whether being a Vedic civilization or Non-Vedic civilization. Similarly Gomata is Gomata irrespective of being a Vedic Gomata or Non-Vedic Gomata. Please do not make this a racist statement by doing this comparison.

I'm a new Wolverine RP blog looking for more people to interact with. So either like or reblog this so I can follow you, bubs!
I am hereby leaving this account and moving to the one linked above. I needed a fresh start for Tony, so I made a new blog altogether. If you'd like to keep interacting with me, then just follow me there and we'll keep the fun!
"Y'know, I was wondering when I would see you again. Two months of being away, I start to miss my old man."
"Look at that, my second favorite brat decided to make an appearance. I was starting to think I would be able to redecorate your floor on the Tower, kid."
Hm, I feel like revamping Tony completely and just making an entire new blog for him. Which really shouldn't be much of a problem since I only interact with three people or something on here. Choices, choices…

Congratulations on your ass, sir

Okay, this is one of the oddest automotive ailments a car of mine has ever had...for several months now, there is an odd shimmying/shuddering that happens from time to time that appears to be related to lateral forces on the front end brakes or drive line.
It comes and goes, but I find the easiest way to make it occur is to make a hard left turn while accelerating. After doing so, there is a shaking/shimmying/shuddering that is at wheel speed, coming form the front end that sticks around for as little as a few miles or as long as a few days of regular driving. At freeway speeds you can see and feel it in the steering wheel. Stepping on the brakes when the shimmying is occurring will make the brakes pulse, squeak and clatter. Eventually the symptoms just kind of disappear, potentially after backing up or with just enough mixed driving.
Even though they did not look overly worn, I replaced the front brake pads and rotors, which seemed to temporarily limit how often the problem occurs. However, after just a few thousand miles of driving the problem seems to be back, and with a vengeance...enough to make emergency braking a very noisy and scary experience (had to slam on them today).
The only things I can think of is that one or both calipers may be intermittently dragging, or (God forbid), there is some weird lateral run-out problem with the front axles or differential, causing the brakes to rub, generating brake friction and heat.
Before I go and replace the calipers, does anyone have any ideas or advice? I'm pretty technically inclined, but this baffles me.

Look! Grilled Cheese Croutons for Tomato Soup
Creamy tomato soup with a hot and gooey grilled cheese sandwich may be the ultimate wintertime lunch, and it's one we're always eager to enjoy, so we were tickled to see this take on it: Homemade tomato soup with little crunchy bites of grilled cheese sandwich on top.
This idea comes from reader Sherri who says:
When my kids couldn't fathom dipping their toasted grilled cheese sandwich into tomato soup and I had an inexplicable need to get them to enjoy one of my pleasures, I decided to break it all down into small bites. I'm big into soup-scaping as it can distract my young ones from the fact that they're eating pulverized vegetables. Calling the mini grilled cheese "croutons" would be an acceptable idea to them. And let's face it, the kids like anything mini.
Forget kids — we'll take anything mini and cute like this too!

Hey neat! Wait a minute...isn't this a grilled cheese sandwhich cut into small pieces? ಠ_ಠ
Oh! That sounds really good!
Um...these were posted on Closet Cooking 10 days ago too
Cute :)
I have been doing this since I was about 4 (okay, maybe I tore the sandwich instead of cutting ... but still). Should have written a blog post.
A couple of years ago, I was attending a sales meeting for the company I work for in Yosemite. They brought out a late afternoon snack of tomato soup with mini grilled cheese sandwiches, warm cookies and ice cold milk...it was brilliant. It was cold and snowing outside and we snacked on them like it was the best food ever created...all of us 30-60 somethings felt like we were nurtured children!
This has got to be the best thing ever!!
i think i will stick to dipping, although its cute. I usually cut my grilled cheese into long strips to dip into the soup!
I think this is evil genius... now I can have what I love but pretend I didn't eat an entire grilled cheese!
i actually first learned about grilled cheese croutons here! i am surprised the auto content generator didn't bring it up at the bottom: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/soup-recipe-vegetarian-split-pea-soup-with-grilled-cheese-croutons-132464

What was harder in the movie; kissing Russell or trying not to get too handsy while having toilet sex with the groupie?Kissing Russell. As much as I like him, I happen to be attracted to women, so it was lot more difficult than simulating sex with a hot girl.
So, was it a 50-50 situation, or did you commit yourself to the scene 90 per cent while he only went 10?We both went 100 per cent committed all the way. Anything to get the laugh.
Was there anything cut from the scene where Russell had his hand up your arse?I had this idea that I wanted a camera to look like it was up my arse when Russell was trying to pull the heroin out. It would essentially be my own colonoscopy. Unfortunately, it never came to fruition… or poo-ition.We heard they're going to making a film version of Jonah and the Whale.Are they? How do you know that and I don't? I would definitely want to be a part of that. I mean, my name is already Jonah, so why not?Er, we were thinking you'd be perfect for the whale part. Now you've got a bunch of great movies under your belt, do you feel safer knowing you can fall back on them?Ha ha! If I make a terrible movie I'm just going to beg people to remember my good movies. I'll at least admit if it's not any good. Right off the bat, in the first interview after the movie is released, I'll admit it sucks.
Did you have a sex choreographer on this film, or just freestyle it?We actually story-boarded it. It was weird seeing a little animated picture of myself in doggy style position, but it made the rehearsals a lot easier and made sure there were no awkward moments. I was fine with freestyling it, but myself and Russell just wanted to make sure that Elizabeth Moss, who plays my girlfriend, was comfortable.
In the last two movies that Carla Gallo's appeared alongside you she's had her period on your leg and then shoved a dildo in your mouth. Is this a coincidence or are you requesting her services?She's a friend of ours and hilarious, so she's up for it in a way that a lot of actresses aren't. She's hysterical and has done a lot of other work besides shoving a dildo in my mouth. Her role in Mad Men is probably going to win her more accolades than any dildo-in-my-mouth cameo.
As a yoga buff, have you conveyed your love of downward-facing dog to Katy Perry?I have, but I really prefer all types of dog. The downward dog just gets all the hype but I don't like to play favourites.
When Katy did her performance of California Girl at the MTV Awards, they threw to the token "boyfriend-gleefully-watching-in-the-crowd" shot. And that would be you. Did you have to pretend you were enjoying the shitty song?Ha ha! You're recording this, aren't you? This could get me in trouble here, so I should be loyal. Katy is an amazing singer and I'm very proud of her work and everything she does. And her performance was really good. [Winks] I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For those uninitiated with full body searches, is the worst part thinking your stash will be discovered or realising they keep the rooms especially cold?For junkies, nothing is worse than not having their stash as soon as they're off the plane, even if they'd just flown into Colombia and needed some coke. It's like a safety blanket, really. If it was me, I couldn't have cared about the climate in the searching rooms or the warmth of the guy's hands. Just as long as I have my stash, I'm fine. If this was me we were talking about… er, hypothetically.
<3 jonah, he's so fkn funny! love russel brand too but jonah more!

As you can see, the proof of my upcoming release, Dead Blow, arrived in the mail today! I'm going over it for mistakes and have already made some changes. Hopefully by the end of the day I'll be ordering a couple dozen copies of the book. Looks good! Would you agree? Thanks again to Victorine Lieske for great cover art. I love how she incorporated the hammer into the title. Great work! My fingers are crossed this book will be available by March 1st!

Great cover & title. The guy looks like Clancy Brown in Love, Lies & Murder who did such a fine job as the bad guy. I look forward to reading your book. In the meantime we here in South Africa must come to terms with what appears to be a tragic crime of passion when our star athlete Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend four times. Another guy gone bad?
I love the cover art also, same reasons. The cracked mirror/glass really makes a reader think thriller/suspense. Kudos on the book being finished and the great cover.

Recently went to chapters, looking for a book, saw the price at around 60bucks.
Looked on chapters.ca and saw the book for 40bucks!
It happens pretty much everywhere? I'm wondering, why so?
What's the point of selling stuff in the store, when the same thing is going to be cheaper online on the same store's website??

Why is stuff cheaper online vs in stores?

There are more expenses of operating a B&M store, which can include (but not limited to) customer service (more employees), infrastructure, and gas/electric/hydro bills.
Operating an online store does not require as many of these expenses, but there are many people who do either are not familiar with shopping online, or just want to inspect the product (with some questions) prior to buying it. For these reasons, they still need to have their B&M stores open.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked mmmken for this post.

Some of these stores, especially in snobby malls like Yorkdale, must sell $1,000 a DAY just to pay their rent, which is about $25,000-$30,000 a month.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked Kommander_KornFlakes for this post.

I believe mmmken's summary is a good for general goods. Every industry has its limitation, like selling ice cream online, or it has opportunities like renting DVDs (once a deal was cut with postal services).
However, some companies want more visibility or market share. They're willing to discount prices just to open another sales channel to block out competitors. Futureshop/Bestbuy offered free shipping, and Staples had their 150% Price Match, CanadaComputers has a "Cash Price" and changed that to $6 flat shipping. I wouldn't say Online is always cheaper because some retailers inflate their shipping. It's very important to do homework and figure out how pricing really works. I like Dell's model the best, no-hassle pay posted price+tax and it arrives at your door.
For things like clothes or shoes, I don't care if online's cheaper because they have to fit and feel comfortable.

Most online retailers don't actually have warehouses or much inventory on hand. When you order from them, they send the order to a fulfillment center and it ships directly from there. Not having much inventory saves tons of money in upfront cost$, and they don't have all of their cash tied up in inventory sitting there.
This also means that there is no inventory to get broken, stolen, lost, or become outdated. Big difference compared to most online retailers!Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked JeffTaylor1985 for this post.

It's all about economy of scale. When you specialize into taking orders for books and deliver them in large quantity, you could become very efficient at it (efficient here means producing more output with less input). So in the case of online bookstores, what they probably need as input are warehouse, website, regular carrier pickup with discounted shipping rates, basic utilities and salaries for a few administrative employees. Many tasks like website hosting can be outsourced.
Unlike a full fledge bookstore (like your local Chapters), you need to handle more than just taking orders and deliver. e.g. you need to answer customer's queries, help customers find items, promotion and publicity, shelving. You probably end up paying more in utilities, rent and salaries, and thus incurring a higher operation cost than an online bookstore.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked torseller07 for this post.

I think that the posters who talk about the different sales channels are on the right track.
The books cost more in the store because buyers in stores are willing to pay more. It is a different market from online purchasers.
Overhead/cost has nothing to do with it.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked Riffer for this post.

Like others have said, overhead. A lot of online stores might not even have the item in stock. They will take your order then order the item from the supplier. Result = they has less cash tied up and thus can make more money with less money so they can get away with a lower margin.
If you want an extreme case, there's a certain store in GVR where the online price + instore price = different but advertise you can buy in store. Goto the store and you're required to have a printout of the ad or you won't get the lower priceReply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked GVRtrader for this post.

Another big factors is returns. Online stores have to deal with a much smaller percentage of returned products. People can much more easily return stuff to stores. There is a much higher dissatisfaction criterion to get people to put out the expense and uncertainty of shipping something back to an online source.
Taking all the discussed factors into account, I'm always surprised than online stores are much cheaper than they are.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked Eyeman for this post.
