The Portable Conversion Analyst
Posted By Bryan Eisenberg On January 16, 2009 @ 8:15 am In Books,Improving Conversion | 25 Comments
[1]In my last several columns, I've reviewed some basics of conversion optimization. "The Sciences and Disciplines of Web Site Optimization [2]" covered some of the science and professional disciplines needed when doing conversion analysis. That got us talking around the company water cooler, and someone suggested creating a list of the best books and resources that a conversion analyst can not do without.
So we debated, scoured our bookshelves, debated, and finally came up with a list of several team favorites and grouped them into a few categories. The resulting list, below, is in no particular order and is far from comprehensive. It includes books and a few other resources that we know to be unavoidable if you want to talk shop and play like a real conversion analysis.
Usability and Information Architecture
- "Designing Web Usability [3]" by Jakob Nielson
- "Web Site Usability: A Designer's Guide [4]" by Jared M. Spool (don't miss his research at UIE.com [5], either)
- "Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites [6]" by Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville (a.k.a., The Polar Bear Book)
- "Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks [7]" by Luke Wroblewski
- "The Persona Lifecycle : Keeping People in Mind Throughout Product Design (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive Technologies) [8]" by John Pruitt and Tamara Adlin
- "The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web (VOICES) [9]" by Jesse James Garret
- "Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition [10]" by Steve Krug
Web Analytics
- "Web Analytics: An Hour a Day [11]" by Avinash Kaushik (of Occam's Razor [12] fame)
- "Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics [13]" by Brian Clifton
- "Web Analytics Demystified: A Marketer's Guide to Understanding How Your Web Site Affects Your Business [14]" by Eric Peterson
- "Marketer's Common Sense Guide to E-Metrics [15]" (PDF) by Bryan Eisenberg and Jim Novo
- "Information Anxiety 2 (Hayden/Que) [16]" by Richard S. Wurman
- "Envisioning Information [17]" by Edward R. Tufte
- "Persuasive Online Copywriting: How to Take Your Words to the Bank [18]" by Bryan Eisenberg and Jeffrey Eisenberg (yes, we did write this. But it's received an impressive amount of acclaim, and we've seen it on Amazon selling for over $1,000 (see screenshot). It really is an important book if you're serious about writing online), you can get an e-book version [19] now.
- "Breakthrough Advertising: How to Write Ads That Shatter Traditions and Sales Records [21]" by Eugene M. Schwartz
- "Advertising Secrets of the Written Word: The Ultimate Resource on How to Write Powerful Advertising Copy from One of America's Top Copywriters and Mail Order Entrepreneurs [22]" by Joseph Sugarman
- "The Associated Press Guide to Good Writing [23]" by Rene J. Cappon
- "Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer [24]" by Roy Peter Clark
- "Copyblogger Blog [25]" by Brian Clark (while we've tried to keep this list to books, if you want to learn more about writing copy online, you must become a Brian Clark reader, possibly even a disciple)
Direct Marketing Techniques
- "Scientific Advertising [26]" by Claude C. Hopkins
- "Tested Advertising Methods (Prentice Hall Business Classics) [27]" by John Caples
- "DRILLING DOWN: Turning Customer Data into Profits with a Spreadsheet – Third Edition [28]" by Jim Novo
- "The Copywriter's Handbook, Third Edition: A Step-By-Step Guide To Writing Copy That Sells [29]" by Robert W. Bly
Psychology, Human Behavior, and Persuasion
- "Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die [30]" by Chip Heath and Dan Heath (if you keep running into brick walls with your messages or you feel that you just don't have a strong message, start with this book)
- "Waiting for Your Cat to Bark?: Persuading Customers When They Ignore Marketing [31]" by Bryan Eisenberg and Jeffrey Eisenberg
- "Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do (Interactive Technologies) [32]" by B.J. Fogg
- "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion [33]" by Robert Cialdini
- "Your Key to Sports Success : How Understanding Your Brain Type Will Enhance Your Athletic Ability [34]" by Jonathan Niednagel
- "Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types [35]" by David Keirsey
- "The Art of Speed Reading People: How to Size People Up and Speak Their Language [36]" by Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger.
- "Why We Buy: The Science Of Shopping [37]" by Paco Underhill
There is a lot of science and rigor in the area of testing and statistics. And while marketing is becoming more accountable, we aren't quite ready for the amount of rigor possible in this critical area. But we will be, and when we are there will be a few more books that make this subject palatable for the average marketer and conversion analyst. Until then these are two solid choices to devour and have more than enough info to get you started testing and testing well:
- "Landing Page Optimization: The Definitive Guide to Testing and Tuning for Conversions [38]" by Tim Ash
- "Always Be Testing: The Complete Guide to Google Website Optimizer [39]" by Bryan Eisenberg and John Quarto-vonTivadar
Marketing, Branding, Selling
No doubt this is the hardest category because there are plenty of fine marketing, traditional advertising, and branding gurus. What we wanted to identify some books that will influence a lot of the great books still to come. Every one of these books is still relevant to marketing and the challenges we face online. You simply can't go wrong reading anything on this list:
- "Ogilvy on Advertising [40]" by David Ogilvy (this is a true classic that can't be ignored)
- "Secret Formulas of the Wizard of Ads: Turning Paupers into Princes and Lead into Gold [41]" by Roy H. Williams (this book will ground you in the principles of advertising and marketing success)
- "Call to Action: Secret Formulas to Improve Online Results [42]" by Bryan Eisenberg and Jeffrey Eisenberg
- "The Psychology of Selling the Art of Closing Sales (Book and 6 Audiocassettes) [43]" by Brian Tracy
- "How to Master the Art of Selling [44]" by Tom Hopkins
- "The Sales Bible: The Ultimate Sales Resource, New Edition [45]" by Jeffrey Gitomer
- "Selling the Invisible: A Field Guide to Modern Marketing [46]" by Harry Beckwith
- "5 Steps To Successful Selling [47]" by Zig Ziglar
- "Focus: The Future of Your Company Depends on It [48]" by Al Reis
- "Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions [49]" by Dan Ariely
- A few tomes by our pal Seth Godin [50]; our faves are "Purple Cow," "Permission Marketing," and "Meatball Sundae."
- "How to Win Friends & Influence People [51]" by Dale Carnegie
SEO, SEM, Social Media
When it comes to search marketing and other dynamic markets, most of the treasured resources are blogs or sites like this. Search Engine Watch and ClickZ are a must (like Mike Grehan who writes about SEO ( [52]define [53]); he's a friend and a fave). Here are a couple recent books worth mentioning:
- "Winning Results with Google AdWords, Second Edition [54]" by Andrew Goodman
- "Social Media Marketing: An Hour a Day [55]" by fellow ClickZ columnist Dave Evans [56]
- "Email Marketing: An Hour a Day [57]" by fellow ClickZ columnist Jeanniey Mullen [58]
Get Reading
As you can see, we likely left a few out. But every resource we listed will move you well on your way to understanding the ins and outs of how to be a great conversion analyst. Many of these books are required reading for our analysts, and they should be for yours.
Did we leave out one of your must-reads? List it in the comments section below.

Vancouver guy. Cosplayer. Runner and adventurer.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
holy fuck I discovered this show for the first time tonight. Fucking creepy how that works out. Unless I'm only just...
oooo, nice ReBoot fanart :3
*falls over*
Oh dear… Hexadecimal… [fans self]
Omg it was Reboot fanart, and look how beautiful it's turned out!


text:
Valverave: …. It's getting stupider, why the hell I even watch those 20 episodes anyway? Oh yeah, because I watched the first season while waiting for MJP. MJP cleans all the bad aftertaste.
Coppelion: …. More bearable than Valverave but still stupid. Aoi is annoying.
Uchuu Kyoudai: Not really, just putting this on hold until next season. The recaps are pain.
Nearly dropped but finished them anyway
Galilei Donna: I don't even…. I don't know why I managed to finish this. This was even worse than valverave. Good thing Samumenco is the one that got 2 cour.
5 minutes stuff
Miss Monochrome: Kinda boring but It's 5 minutes series, and Horie Yui.
Surprise of the Season
Yuushibu: I thought it was going to be your usual harem but I was wrong, it's still harem but since Raul and Fino are adorable, I like it.
Samumenco: I grew up watching Toku and has many friends who happened to be toku fans (mostly kamen rider), this is just FUN. The latest episode was so like my cheesy super sentai episode, no way I'm hatin' it. It'll nicer if Samumenco have more budget tho.
Meganebu!: I was expecting K-on! with boys and megane, but then jojo pose, movie parodies, dem bodies!
Kyoukai Kanata: …. Dat ending was…. well…. but eh, the visual is nice. Akkey sounds pretty Jinbei when he absorb KnK… NANTO!
Blazblue: Watchin' it for Angry!Sugita, Troll!Nakamura, and Yandere!Kakki.
Sugita you liar, Blazbblue anime is shit.
Okay tier
Magi: Let's say I don't put much expectation… Not after roachbaba. Pretty good so far
(is dat Ishida Akira as Yunan there?).
Gingitsune: Pretty nice laid back anime. Nothing too wow, but it's pretty relaxing to watch.
Arpeggio: Dem ships
Nice Tier
Tokyo Tavens: The CG somewhat bother me but the rest are solid.
Yowamushi Pedal: I like cycling. Onoda is too moe.
Kill la Kill: It's Fun.
WOW WOW tier
Log Horizon: See? It's good!! [intense glassess adjust] made me pick up RO again (and actually found a guild called Debauchery Tea Party there ^^;;), solid adaptation. POLITICS, Can't wait for Raynesia and Krusty Scenes animated, and Kuroe is the best Shiroe. Could use more budget tho..
and season 2
Yozakura: The character design bothers me at first, but not gonna lie those animations are too beautuful… Just… The subbers are slow as fuck.
Kyousogiga: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 YEARS AND I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED!!,
HxH: Glorious build up. This is how you do intense stuff without resorting stupid twist! It amaze me they managed to keep the quality after more than 100 episodes. But it probably only go for 3-4 cour left… Damn Togashi.
Will Watch
- Super Seisyun Brothers (5 minutes/ep)
- Kyoukai no Kanata
- Kyousougiga
- Coppelion

Not as much as last two seasons, but they're all great so far (last season was kinda mixed bag).

A Flexibilidade das Estruturas Curriculares Portuguesas Enquanto Implicação do Processo de Bolonha nas Licenciaturas em Economia: uma comparação com a Europa
[The Portuguese Study Plan's Flexibility as an Implication of the Bologna Process in Economics Undergraduate Degrees: a comparison with Europe]
AbstractIn this article we perform a comparative analysis of the study plans of Economics undergraduate degrees between Portugal and the best European institutions, for the school year 2004-2005. The analysis indicates a lower flexibility of Portuguese undergraduate courses, with a greater proportion of required disciplines and less electives offered. The study provides significant evidence on the essential courses to include in the study plans of future undergraduate Economics degrees in Portugal, with a reduced length of three years and about their required or optional nature.

Having a pet is so weird. Like neither of you speak each other's language and yet you form some strong bond by rubbing against each other and sleeping together and you might accidentally kick them in the face or step on their tail once in a while but at the end of the day you two are best buddies from entirely different species.

Aww, yes, it's sad, but don't worry, they'll come back together again soon (well, okay, in September, but still… XD). And club football can be fun
and heart breakingtoo! :') And you're lucky to have come to me, because I simply love making lists! Let's see what we have here:
Germany (Bundesliga):

- Borussia Dortmund: Mats Hummels, Kevin Großkreutz, Roman Weidenfeller, Erik Durm, Matthias Ginter
- FC Schalke 04: Benedikt Höwedes, Julian Draxler
- Borussia Mönchengladbach: Christoph Kramer
- Hannover 96: Ron-Robert Zieler

- Arsenal FC: Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski, Mesut Özil (and maybe Sami Khedira soon!)
- Chelsea FC: André Schürrle
Spain (La Liga):
- Real Madrid CF: Toni Kroos, Sami Khedira (but, as I said, he might play for Arsenal soon!)
Italy (Serie A):
- S.S. Lazio: Miroslav Klose
- Sampdoria Genua: Shkodran Mustafi (but rumour has it that he might play in the Bundesliga soon as well!)
There were (a lot of!) players in the preliminary squad that are missing here, so if you want me to, I'll tell you where they play as well. :)

Schiedsrichter Rizzoli: »Ja!«
Christoph Kramer: »Ich muss wissen, ob das wirklich das Finale ist.«

Christoph Kramer: »Danke, es war wichtig, das zu wissen.«
Daraufhin hat Schiedsrichter Rizzoli Bastian Schweinsteiger über diesen Dialog informiert. Minuten später wurde Christoph Kramer ausgewechselt."

No, these are not dinner plates. These are "volunteers" I discovered this morning in my garden.
Glad you posted about these, Jaime — they're popping up like crazy in my lawn thanks to all this rain! I've just been knocking them down. Any reason I should be worried about them (e.g., are the a sign of bad soil Ph or anything like that)?
Has anyone else seen mutant spores/fungi that hasn't been imagined outside of original Star Trek special effects? A friend's newly landscaped mulchpath has something growing that looks like that expandable insulating foam … and worse!
Mushrooms are an important part of the decomposition process. I'd take it as a sign that your soil is fertile and healthy…
Cool! Thanks!
Jaime, I've noticed everything you grow is B.I.G. What's in the air over there at your house?
Don't just knock the mushrooms over, because spores will fell into the ground and produce alot more. Pick them and dispose of them properly. I have some that are very large and flat; that are heart shaped. They come up every year.
No need to worry about the giant mushrooms- not a dangerous variety They are nature's decomposer and will soon be gone. The "mutant insulating foam fungi" is probably "dog vomit slime mold" (Latin name Fuligo septica). Common on mulch esp after rains. Not techically fungi but in a kingdom of their own. Also a harmless decomposer. See TomVolkFungi.net on the web under the latin name for full story.

Paris Hilton inseparable from new, 'Hangover' boyfriend!
Shortly after splitting from Cy Waits, Paris Hilton hooked up with a new man: Hangover director Todd Phillips.
So how did they first meet?
Paris has known the 40-year-old director for years.
"They're both from New York and run in the same social circle," a source close to both tells me.
Their romantic relationship may be new, but they seem pretty into each other already.
Todd thinks she's "beautiful but hilarious as well," according to one source, while the heiress finds him to be "really funny and sexy."
"They have incredible chemistry together and she really respects him and looks up to him," they tell me.
Could we see P possibly returning to the big screen with a cameo in the Hangover 3? Stay tuned.
Here the couple is pictured leaving Madeo's in Hollywood with the director.

Bait (2000)
Alvin Sanders (Jamie Foxx), a fast-talking street punk, is on his way to prison when he's stuck in a holding cell with a dying guy who has a $43 million secret: where stolen gold is hidden. With his last breath, the guy tells Alvin something that makes no sense to the US Treasury agent, Clenteen (David Morse), who soon interrogates Alvin. Eighteen months later, Clenteen wants to find the robbery's mastermind, an elusive computer genius named Bristol, so he lets Alvin loose, as bait. As Alvin tries to find a job, make peace with his girlfriend, and take on fatherhood to a baby born while he was in jail, he's an unwitting pawn caught between the murderous Bristol and the uptight, hard-nosed Clenteen.

Governor Rick Scott has scheduled the special election to fill former Congressman Trey Radel's seat.
Taxpayers are footing the over $1 million dollar bill to replace him - less than 10 months after they sent him to Washington, D.C.
Governor Scott handed down his executive order Friday afternoon. The move allows the supervisors of elections in Lee and Collier Counties to start what they describe as a logistical nightmare.
The special election primary is slated for Tuesday, April 22nd. That is going to be the most watched vote since Republicans will choose their candidate.
So far, five Republicans have officially announced their candidacy.
Voters then head back to the polls on June 24th for the special general election.
Keep in mind this is just for the remainder of Radel's term which runs through the rest of the year.
Radel resigned Monday evening after a tumultuous three months. He was busted for buying cocaine then checked into rehab before returning to Washington where he faced and intense ethics probe.
We're told almost 200 polling sites will be opened for 450,000 voters to cast their ballots.
The projected cost is close to $1.5 million.

A new American is rising one who votes on the basis of:
1) Free contraceptives. Free Abortions. To get the single female vote.
2) unfettered illegal immigration from Mexico. to get the Latino vote.
3) free tax money to the Unions and auto bailout to Ohio. To get the Union vote.
4) The young, the naive, and the brainwashed, they don't need anything given to them, the easiest to control. Good luck getting a job in this economy in the next 4 years as you graduate from college.
5) Obamaphones and welfare. to get the lazy vote.
The rest of us who spend most of their time getting truly informed can pound sand while the rest watch "The View" and "Jon Stewart" for all the important issues.
From here on in I predict nothing but Dem victories here on out.. The demographics are changing to favor the Democratic party.
One Party Rule will forever change America beyond anything we could have imagined just a few short years ago.
Prepare for decline Americans. This is just the beginning.
It is ashame a good, decent, man as Romney could have restored our great society but was drowned out by the fools.
This country has begun on the path to decline, when 51% of the country is on the take socialism wins out 99% of the time.

Yiynova MSP19U review!
NOTE: I don't currently own my very OWN, but I've more than abused my best friend's shiny new tablet since she got it & the one I got at work today, and I'm buying my own (100% certain) when I move out). This is post contains my opinions about the Yiynova MSP19U model and things I noted about it, not facts. For specs, go to their website.
The Yiynova MSP19U stands at $599 USD, while the largest Cintiq stands at $2,300 USD. Need I to say more?
I was ridiculously excited for my friend to receive it, and I'll say one thing, the new Yiynova gave me a better first impression than the Cintiq did. It's generally more pleasing to the eye with it's (completely) glassy, slick surface. (I suggest cutting the finger off a cheap $1 glove to move your hand across the screen without a problem. This is actually a trick for the Cintiq's screen that applies to this baby!)
One of the first things I suggest you consider before considering it is that is has no buttons. There are not a single shortcut button on the surface, nor on the back or sides (save for the settings buttons that cannot be altered). I personally never used any of the shortcuts I ever had on my previous or current Wacoms, even though I tried; they would literally only get in my way. On the Cintiq, the shortcuts are located on the edge of the screen, and I find myself pausing during my drawing sessions, and resting my hand on the side. I ended up deactivating it. The zoom wheels on the reverse side, on the edges, also got in my way when adjusting the angle my tablet was at. (Not impossible to avoid, I admit, but I'm lazy. I like my tablets simple.) So if you're one of the people who love them shortcuts and couldn't bear drawing without them or even replacing it with a cheaper version of a gameboard, the Yiynova is most likely not for you.
PROS: THE LAG (or lack thereof)
There had been complaints of the Cintiq lagging a bit behind the pen as you drew—I'm happy to announce that this problem doesn't exist in the Yiynova. Seriously, the lag is so minimal I can barely notice it.
The installation is stupidly easy. Install the driver, plug in your tablet, reboot. Done. Make sure you have all other tablet drivers uninstalled before installation. All of them. Including their settings. None must survive. Or else your Yiynova will not work at all!
The tablet settings are called TabletSettings, I believe, and they are ridiculously easy to get to and to adjust at any time. Every option it clear on what it does, no more "i'm not sure why i have 3 different applications that let me reconfigure my tablet" thing. I mean… You can't do it wrong. Unless you're like me and expect it to be extra complex, and end up LOOKING for installation problems when there are none! (seriously, we failed at the setup at first because we thought "this can't be it. it can't be THAT SIMPLE" but it IS!)
To keep this short, the pens is lighter than a Cintiq's, in my own experience, and lighter than an Intuos', according to my best friend. It's not too light, either. It's perfect to hold up for extended periods of time!
The pressure sensitivity is fantastic. I wasn't sure what I was expecting exactly, but I was certainly expecting to be disappointed by it. I mean, why would anything else be better than Wacom's, at such a cheap price*? (*in comparison to the Cintiq) But truth be told, it's exactly the same.
Also, the Yiynova comes with a nifty little pen holder you clip to the back of the tablet. Never, ever lose your pen again!
Yeah, it can't all be rainbows are puppies. I wish, but it can't be! I have to say that I've found an easy fix for each of those, so in the end, the pros weighted so, so much more for me. I'll include the fixes I found!
That's right! The pen requires as AAA battery. There isn't much I can say about this, since it doesn't bother me much! I will use rechargeable AAA's, keep one in the pen and one in the charger if need be. Like I said, I haven't been around the Yiynova for long enough of it's material life to test it's durability and how fast it will eat up batteries, but the battery charger will be my safety net.
Like I said, I haven't set it up at my own working desk at home, so I can't testify for all workspaces, but I will say this: the cable is short. Not only is it short, but the end is a Male VGA (not DVI!), and it is not removable in any way. Now when I say short, I haven't measured it, but it looks to be around 3 feet long.
PCs: Most newer computers will have DVI ports, so you will have to get either an adaptor (Female VGA to Male DVI, if your computer DVI port is Female) or a cable of the same kind. (The only one I found on the web is this little guy, but I have found one at a MicroBytes near my workplace that had a 3 feet long one!)
MACs: You'll need one of these Female VGA to Mini-DVI as your adaptor. Make SURE you call your Apple store to ask about the kind of you need for your specific model of Mac (it changes between models AND generations. Don't just buy any you find!)
(I put this is cons because it's technically a fault, but it's so easy to get around of that it should probably not be there at all.)
The screen's colors are off, like Cintiq's, but they're mostly just cold. Even on Warm setting (which it comes in with)! You can adjust it with 3 minutes of your time, though!
You can't be perfectly still, pen on screen, due to the glass being a little thicker than a Cintiq's. This has me wondering who the hell would ever want a monitor tablet to stay perfectly still on it, but there you have it. You will have a 1 pixel small (literally) jitter. It's hardly noticeable when you're idle, with pen tip on tablet, and not present at ALL when you're drawing.
I think we can say I am now biased towards the Yiynova MSP19U. It's significantly cheaper in price, while being very, very high quality. I'm getting mine the MINUTE I move out. Seriously, haha.

High off all their reality show success, VH1 has ventured off into scripted dramas. Single Ladies follows actresses Stacey Dash, LisaRaye McCoy and white girlfriend Kassandra Clementi through their journey of love. While LisaRaye's character is more like the Samantha( Sex In The City) of the group, Stacey's is a hopeless romantic steadily on the search for one man. The sneak peek trailer doesn't leave much to be desired except for the fact that Lisa, Stacy and Kassandra are gorgeous! After rumors of a fight on set, the chemistry between Dash and McCoy is what I will be watching when the full show airs. The series is produced by Queen Latifah!

Strike A Cord
The cold weather lately kinda snuck up on me and I have to admit that I wasn't quite ready for winter to officially begin. When temps start dipping down to that freezing point I find myself turning to thicker fabrics and knits to stay warm. Corduroy is a smart winter upgrade from chinos for this weather. The deep purple color of the ones I'm wearing have a rich, warm look to them that makes them perfect for the colder months. Warm knits like a scarf or vintage sweater are also a great way to winterize your style.

Men Get Dumped and Rejoice!
Whyd you want to put this book together?
I knew I needed the blessing of Nick Hornby, who wrote the introduction, and pretty much invented the genre of the mens confessional with High Fidelity. But its more than men have feelings, too. Thats why I put Dan Vebbers essay Sex Is the Most Stressful Thing in the History of the Universe first hes not the biggest name in the book, but his story about how his first time was so anxiety-provoking that he now considers himself a survivor of Post-Traumatic Sex Disorder sets the tone of going against what you usually hear about men.
How did you find the contributors?
Some, like Bob Odenkirk, were comedy heroes of mine. I also wanted to see what musicians like Fountains of Waynes Adam Schlesinger and OK Gos Damian Kulash, who deal with breakups in their lyrics, would do with a different format. Adam annotated a pop song and Damian wrote a poignant piece about how you cant stay together just because you share a dog.
Any favorite pieces?
Im contractually obligated to say I love them all, but I can tell you that the one by my mom, I Think My Son Is a Catch, is the least objective thing ever written.
Would this book be as funny if it were written by women, or would it have a Hes Just Not That Into You quality?
Hard to say. I think comedy is all about that element of surprise, and women are a lot more able to access their feelings, whereas men are more reticent and stoic so them talking about their feelings is a bigger surprise. But we also wanted to keep it away from being one timbre or overly sentimental, so I DJed it for a good mix.
Give us some advice about the kindest way to dump a guy.
Move to a different state, destroy your birth records, change your entire identity. No awkward conversation just disappear completely. In Will Fortes essay, his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend lives across the street, so he constantly sees them together can you imagine anything worse?
Not really. Is this book the best anti-Valentines Day gift?
I think Jerry Falwells Guide to Abstinence would be, but this is a close second.
Leave us a comment with what you learned by dumping men or getting dumped by em! You can also buy the book here

Canthan New Year 2013
It's time for the annual Canthan New Year Festival! Help honor the celestial animals as they descend from the sky to bestow good luck upon the populace for the coming year—but only if the traditional New Year's feast meets their high standards!
- Canthan New Year is almost here!
Check out the Canthan New Year Festival and explore all of the fun activities we have planned. This year, the festival will be extended to a full week, beginning on Thursday, January 31 at noon Pacific (GMT -8) and ending on Thursday, February 7 at noon Pacific (GMT -8). The event will culminate on Wednesday, February 6 with the traditional festivities in Shing Jea Monastery.
The adjustments to Canthan New Year mark the beginning of a few time and schedule changes to Guild Wars in-game events. Specifically, all major events will be extended to run for a week or longer, and they will be put on a fixed schedule. In some cases this will shift when event finales happen, but highly anticipated events like Halloween and Wintersday already fall on the same date annually and therefore won't change. Looking to the future, you will be able to enjoy events for longer and can plan to attend without wondering when the events will occur.
The 2013 Canthan New Year was a special event and began at noon Pacific (-8 GMT) on Thursday, January 31st, 2013 and ended at noon Pacific (-8 GMT) on Thursday, February 7th, 2013. On Wednesday, February 6th, the Celestial Snake arrived every three hours to sample Canthan cuisine in Shing Jea Monastery.

[edit] Finale
Several chefs stood in Shing Jea Monastery. They collected specific ingredients during the finale. For each ingredient turned in, you received a Lunar Token from that chef. If no dishes were prepared successfully, everyone in the district were temporarily transformed by the Snake Form disguise.
| Imperial Chef Yan
| Imperial Chef Reun
| Imperial Chef Jiong
| Imperial Chef Chen
(Main Course)
| Imperial Chef Tian
[edit] Finale rewards
Below is a chart describing the amount of items the player received based on how many successful dishes were presented to the Celestial Snake:
| Successful
Red Gift Bag
Crate of Fireworks
Celestial Summoning Stone
† If no successful dishes were created, players will be temporarily turned into snakes.
[edit] Festival hat
Participation in one of the Celestial Snake appearances will earn you a festival hat:
| Lion Mask
A festival hat resembling the head of a lion dance costume.
[edit] Differences from 2012
- Ikura offered a new quest, Take My Sister, Please, which rewarded an Imperial Miniature Token. The token could be exchanged with Qili for any celestial miniature or a Lunar Festival Grab Bag.
- Racing Medals have replaced Lunar Tokens as rewards in Rollerbeetle Racing and can be traded to Little Jack for a Miniature World-Famous Racing Beetle. The number of Gamer points awarded in Rollerbeetle Racing was increased.
- Miniature Greased Lightning is no longer awarded.
- A Miniature Celestial Snake can drop from a "Lunar Fortune [Year of the Snake]".
- The Racing Beetle pet was introduced.
- Canthan New Year was extended from a weekend to a week long event. The finales no longer begin on a Sunday PST. Canthan New Year will now always begin on the fifth Thursday of the year.
- Guff Hufflebeak and Jiaru have new dialogues.
[edit] Festival events
A grand feast, fireworks, dancing, fortunes, and high-stakes rollerbeetle racing—all this and more await you during the Canthan New Year Festival. Here's what you can expect:
- Satisfying the visiting celestial animal is a tall order, especially since every festival has a few unexpected problems for enterprising young adventurers to solve.
- Want a preview of the coming year? The fortune teller can peer into your future and provide you with a very real, and legally binding, fortune. For good or ill, your destiny will follow you out into the world beyond Shing Jea.
- Play games on the Shing Jea Boardwalk to earn tickets and boost your luck—or play to lose, and work your way down a different life track.
- Racing fans, make your way to the Rollerbeetle Racing Arena, where you'll be outfitted with your very own rollerbeetle racer, complete with its own set of racing skills.
- Head over to the Dragon Arena for a brawling good time.
- The Celestial Feast lets you participate in heated cooking competitions, where you'll help Canthan chefs prepare special dishes in honor of the annual visitor from the stars. Each properly prepared meal earns a reward from the celestial animal, but it's bad luck to annoy the beast!
- Lunar Tokens also randomly drop from PvE foes.
[edit] Decorated towns
[edit] Quests
Every festival brings with it a variety of problems that can only be solved by enterprising young adventurers willing to undertake a quest or two to ensure the festival runs smoothly. Supplies of everything from red dye (for Nian-scaring party attire) to fireworks (also used to frighten off the Nian) will inevitably run low. And, speaking of the Nian, you never know when, or where, these New Year's festival hating creatures might attack. (Note: these quests were only offered to characters that have reached level 5 or higher)

[edit] Notes
- The Canthan New Year finale often sees many guilds and alliances "sponsoring" a district - providing all the ingredients for the feast. To find out whether a district is being sponsored, look in party search, ask in chat or visit a fansite, for example GWGuru's list of hosted districts.

"This is a two-year degree program & around 1,600 hours." Etienne explained, "There are more hours in shop time than in the classroom. The emphasis in on the old Quebec tradition of fixing or making furniture rather than the new production methods of cabinetry."
There's a strong tradition of woodworking in Quebec with a current revival of the pieces from colonial days. The course covers the French styles brought into North America and the more homegrown colonial styles and the effect both have had on Quebec furniture over the years. And Etienne explained that you find lots of antique furniture in Quebec City.
"It's something many Americans have also learned," Etienne noted, "and quite a lot of them come up to get Quebec furniture because of the style, joinery, and quality of craftsmanship. You will also find a lot of pieces on eBay that were made in Quebec. The pieces with the distinctive diamond-point carvings get the highest prices."
And with the renewed interest in antique furniture, the program also covers furniture restoration.
"I'm currently restoring a three hundred-year-old chair that has been valued between $500 to $600." Etienne explained, "And a professional will look at my work and compare it to a similar chair that is now in a museum."
The woodworking program started about ten years ago. Students have to qualify for the program, but Etienne doesn't think it's particularly useful.
"We take an aptitude test for working with the machines. But they don't find out the interests we have in woodworking."
There's some regimentation to the course, and each student must complete certain required pieces. And as part of the program, each student had to find a shop where he or she can work for three weeks. The students are not paid, but there's often the promise of future employment.
This is what we call a real life experience where we prove ourselves and may possibly get a job. I have found a place in a little shop with two brothers who were looking to engage a third party to help them make cabinets."
Thirty three students will finish the program this year and almost 75% of graduates will work in the profession.
"I think we have a nice base and a good future in cabinetmaking." Etienne declared and plans to open his own shop in three years.
"It'll be right next to my house and maybe with a little room where I can invite my customers to see my products. I think in Quebec working on your own is the only way to get the best salary. There is too much competition in the big industries, and it makes it really hard for a small shop to pay a good salary."
Recently, Etienne and other students have been involved in organizing a show of furniture created by students in the program. "Exposition Finissants 2004" was held last weekend. The show provided the future cabinetmakers with some recognition at the same time it educated the public on the value of traditional woodworking methods. Students were on hand to answer questions on plans, the choice of wood, using hand tools and specialized machinery, and methods of joinery.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
More than a dozen advocates from South Georgia, including several from Tifton, joined hundreds of volunteers across the state yesterday.
They went to Atlanta for Alzheimer's Advocacy Day at the Georgia state capitol.
Organized by the Alzheimer's Association, Georgia Chapter, the event allows advocates to meet with their local legislators and with the governor to raise awareness about Alzheimer's and related dementias.
The advocates are seeking to strengthen Georgia's respite care for those with Alzheimer's disease or dementia; to create a Georgia Alzheimer's Registry; and to get state funding for emergency placement for those with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, when a care facility is closed or when a person with Alzheimer's disease or dementia wanders from home.

After your surgery, it's normal to become easily tired for the first few days. Make sure to get plenty of rest. It's also normal to have pain, swelling and redness at the site of your surgery. If it becomes worse, let your doctor know as soon as possible.
Women who have had lymph nodes removed from under the arm, or who have had an axillary lymph node dissection, may experience arm swelling on the side of the surgery. This condition is known as lymphedema.
Ways you can reduce your risk of lymphedema:
Have your blood drawn, blood pressure taken and any shots given in the unaffected arm.
Promptly wash, treat and dress the affected arm if cut, bitten or burned.
Wear loose-fitting rubber gloves when working with household cleaning products or when you have your hands in water for a period of time.
Use caution when shaving your underarm area, and consider using an electric razor.
Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, especially on your arm and chest.
Exercise has physical and emotional benefits. Discuss with your doctor when to start and what type of exercise is right for you. With your doctor's approval, try to get back into your normal routine and activities.
If you're experiencing discomfort, try elevating your arm with a small pillow. This will alleviate pressure and may help you rest better.

Josh Harrison 2009 Hitting and Fielding Video Recap
|Harrison came from the Cubs, along with RHPs Kevin Hart and Jose Ascanio, in exchange for LHPs John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny. He's a classic case of a player with little in the way of tools who performs very well, at least in one or two areas. At the time of the 2008 draft, Baseball America's assessment of Harrison was less than inspiring: won't hit for power with wood bats, not good defensively, doesn't pivot well, and only average speed. (The Pirates, by contrast, think he has good speed. You'd think this would be measurable somehow . . . .) Despite the assessment, Harrison has hit for average and decent to good gap power, made good contact, and shown some base stealing ability. He makes good contact, but will swing at nearly any pitch. Literally. He hasn't had much of a platoon split in the majors, but he's had a sizable one in the minors since he reached AAA. Regardless of how fast he may be, he's a good, aggressive baserunner. He hasn't settled into any position and is not strong defensively. In the minors he played second, third and left, mostly just the first two after the Pirates acquired him. The Pirates used him as a backup at short in 2012 in the majors and he started playing there part of the time in AAA in 2013. The defensive stats suggest that he's good at third, subpar at second and in the outfield, and simply shouldn't play short.
Started off in short season ball and hit very well, with nearly twice as many walks as strikeouts. He moved up to low A after 33 games and just held his own in 31 games there. He played mostly second at both stops.
While he was still with the Cubs, Harrison divided his time between second, third and left. He spent two-thirds of the season in low A and hit well. He rarely walked or struck out. He played 18 games at high A with the Cubs before the trade. With Lynchburg after the trade he may have been pressing, because in 34 games he walked just once and fanned 19 times. If he hadn't been hit with four pitches, his OBP would have been lower than his BA. He split time between second and third. For the season he did well running the bases.
Spent the season at Altoona and did well, hitting for average with doubles power. He struck out only once every ten ABs, but also didn't walk much. He managed to drive in 75 runs with only four HRs. He started the season playing mainly second, but eventually settled in primarily at third and ended up playing two-thirds of his games there. The move may have had more to do with the fact that the Pirates wanted Jordy Mercer and Chase d'Arnaud at the middle infield positions.
Harrison opened the season at Indianapolis, playing two-thirds of the time at third and the rest at second. He had significant error problems, with very low fielding percentages of .897 at third and .950 at second. He continued to draw few walks and seldom strike out, and he showed a little more power. About two months into the season, with Pedro Alvarez and Steve Pearce both hurt, the Pirates called Harrison up. They sent him back down a couple of times, but not for very long due to their injury epidemic, so he ended up spending over half the season in the majors. Other than a few games spelling Neil Walker at second, he played third exclusively and did not have the error problems he did in the minors. He showed good contact ability and a little gap power, but absolutely no patience. He walked just three times in 204 plate appearances. He swung at pitches over his head, pitches that bounced in front of the plate, pitches that would have been behind a left-handed hitter. He said after one of his trips to the minors that the Pirates wanted him to be more patient, but he wasn't. He drew no walks in 59 plate appearances in September.
The Pirates got Harrison work at shortstop in fall instructional league and in spring training to increase his usefulness as a utility infielder. Harrison also indicated that he realized he needs to take more pitches. He ended up having a big spring and made the team, serving for most of the year as the Pirates' primary backup infielder. That included being the primary backup at shortstop, even when Jordy Mercer was in the majors. He doesn't really belong at the position, but wasn't horrible; the defensive stats show him to be below average, but not dramatically so, in a small sample size. Offensively, Harrison was very poor. His plate discipline improved from non-existent to nearly non-existent, but he hit very little.
The Pirates' disastrous acquisition of Brandon Inge and John McDonald resulted in Harrison spending most of the season's first half in the minors. He started off in the majors while Inge rehabbed in AAA, but went to Indianapolis in mid-April and stayed there until nearly mid-July, except for a few brief stretches. While in AAA, he mainly divided his time between second and short. After coming back up to stay, he served primarily as a pinch hitter, as Jordy Mercer's emergence left Harrison as the second choice for a utility infielder. In both the minors and majors, Harrison's hitting improved, mostly in the form of better power. In fact, his 29 doubles in AAA came in less than half a season. His plate discipline improved slightly in AAA, but in the majors he was more impatient than ever. He swung at 53.5% of the pitches he saw; the major league average is about 46-47%.
Harrison made some strides in 2013, but his main drawback remains. Still, his overall offensive production was solid for a utility infielder and he's far preferable to the washed-up veterans the Pirates are prone to bringing in (and almost always dumping around mid-season). Harrison's only competition for a utility job in spring training was Robert Andino and Michael Martinez, which wasn't really any competition at all, so he'll open the season with the Pirates.

Bucket List: 100 Things to Do in Phoenix Before You Die
By Robrt L. Pela and Amy Silverman
Painter Gwyneth Scally, 33, is accustomed to walking in two worlds. She has degrees in English literature and studio art. She's a self-professed atheist who went to Catholic school. And she lives in the barren desert, despite her love of the sea. Raised by a scientific-minded English father and a Catholic Italian mother, Scally learned to think rationally while maintaining a respect for the elegant rituals of Catholicism. This early exposure to opposing viewpoints made her the ultimate mediator — someone with the vision to see both sides of an issue and bring them together through art.
What you don't see
I was raised in Washington, D.C., and my family kept a sailboat docked on the nearby Chesapeake Bay. There is nothing like swimming in such dim water and feeling something soft and unseen brushing against your bare skin. You have no idea if it is seaweed, your own hair . . . or tentacles.
Seeing beauty in the beast
Jellyfish represent a duality. They are beautiful and menacing, fragile and dangerous. With the jellyfish sculptures, I make work that walks a fine line between beauty and disgust.
There's no place like om
I traveled extensively through Tibet, documenting the murals in the temples of that country. I [listened] to the music I had with me on that trip while working on the "Jelly" pieces in order to help recapture the effect of those spaces on my sensibilities.
One life to live
I have no religious beliefs whatsoever. I understand that religion can provide comfort. But for me, the courageous and beautiful choice is to accept my biological and finite nature.

The Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort in Western Maryland would shut down by 2013 if slot machines are not working by then, said Bob Brennan, executive director of the Maryland Economic Development Corp.
"We're looking down the gun barrel," Brennan told the Budget and Taxation Committee on Tuesday. "If [investors] came in tomorrow and said we're gonna do a fire sale, I'll be sitting there helping them light the match."
Rocky Gap is one of the sites for slot machines Maryland voters approved in November 2008. The state has issued licenses at three of the approved sites but has failed to secure contracts for two— including Rocky Gap.
Sen. George C. Edwards, R-Allegany County, and Del. Herman L. Taylor, D-Silver Spring, urged the budget committee to change Rocky Gap's slots contract to make it more appealing to contractors.
Also in Annapolis
» Sen. Catherine Pugh, D-Baltimore, urged lawmakers to add table games — such as blackjack, poker and craps — to November's ballot for voter consideration. Pugh presented a bill to the Budget and Taxation Committee that would add table games to the state's slots sites.
» The House of Delegates delayed voting on a number of bills that would strengthen sentencing and supervision of sex offenders. Floor debate is expected to resume Wednesday.
Taylor said Rocky Gap is a hard sell because its gross revenue is one-third that of sites in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County, according to a fiscal analysis.
Baltimore and Anne Arundel slots are projected to gross $315 per machine each day, compared with $115 at the Cumberland resort, which is owned by the state. Another issue is that the contractor must buy the resort's 400-room Hyatt Regency for $35 million to $45 million -- in addition to a $25 million deposit to secure a slots contract -- if it wants to put the slot machines in the hotel, Edwards said.
To make up for Rocky Gap's shortcomings, Edwards is pushing a bill that would eliminate the $25 million deposit requirement for slots contracts.
"We think it should get some preferential treatment," Edwards said.
Taylor pushed for amendments to Edwards' bill that would slash the state's profit share at Rocky Gap.
The state is set to rake in 67 percent of slots revenue for all five sites, leaving a 33 percent share for the operating company. Taylor's amendment would drop the state's share to 60 percent for Rocky Gap -- a percentage that would increase with time, as the site began bringing in more money.
The state has invested $20 million in Rocky Gap since its inception in 1985, and private investors have financed $40 million.
Brennan said the resort is hitting the age when it needs "major investments to keep the facility fresh," and will become a larger burden on the state.

PCMag has a review of T-Mobile's Motorola Pebl phone.
The Pebl's smooth open-hinge is the phone's main feature and perhaps selling point. Until recently, we didn't know exactly how it would work. According to PCmag you "open it by placing your thumb on the Motorola logo and moving it slightly forward; the phone then flips up in a smooth motion�?. Question is can you force the phone open if you don't wanna wait for its spaceship like functionality?
PCMag managed, or should we say did drop the Pebl from waist high – the phone remained intact and working. Aside from its hinge feature, the phone is pretty standard – no high res camera or dazzling screen to knock your socks off. We very much agree with PCMags assertion that this is a 'purse phone'. God knows its folds better then that Samsung/B&O disaster that came out recently.
PCMag Score: 3.5/5
We don't see the Motorola Pebl available on T-Mobile's website yet (should be available soon), but expect to drop a few hundred when it does arrive.
