oh.. i c
I did not quite enjoy it the same as most of your other flashs egoraptor, but its about the same level as enjoyment from happy harry even though he only made the music. Im not saying i didnt like it, it was a bit humorous but when you put a name like egoraptor on something like this, you tend to expect more. But all in all still good job heres a 7 and a 3

So many things to say about this so i dont know where to start but here i go..
First off the gameplay of the puzzle levels are great it keeps u always thinking especially with the layers so tahts a great job.
The store line is where i simply get blown away though.
like steve?.. the good and bad.. i played the story line twice and got 2 diffrent sets of levels.. was it because the faster i went the harder they got? the very first time i was slow so the rest might have been easier i dont know how it works between choosing the levels you play.
i hear theirs sets of levels ?.
Alot of things that the guy(s) on the right say and ONLY 1 is solved in the good ending. where the only way to exit is to get yourself from the past to go in.
But why go in the first place.. and how?.. and steven is he you or him.. or you..? i was actually sad when he fell off i would have loved to see a clone of me fallowing my every action.
who are those other people in the beginning.. are they you after the good ending.. if so why r they sad? your free. or are they you in the box.. if so.. why arent they free?..
Finally credits about the box and mom and black marker that makes me wonder with everything open ended guessing.. Sequel?
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Alright after playing essentially the same game 3 times.. im ready for somthing new!.. and one thing i couldn't help thinking as i watched story.. and realized im still getting pwned even tho im killing everything...
To fight back :D tahts like the only way to go from here.. some type of 2 base war system where you can create a defense and offence where u can control a ship. or a turrent. obviously the ships would die but you can make more.
and the screen would scroll over to whereever the conflict is
with i gues 4 screens.. first is one persons base and if no conflict is tehre then shifts to the outskirts where only 1 turrent can be. then if no conflict it's just a mirror or the computers base.
Thats just an idea though would be the best way to go instead of just adding more turrents... which i gotta admit are quite SICK... they get old and the reload time is ...just :'(
Well thats idea anyways...
Umm the music was good. could have had sound effecst a bit better and less annoying idk how but w.e quality was very nice.. but once a BIG ship dies it laggs til is sink's off teh screen.. and next one comes
anyways other then all that Great game keep it up. hope to see next one soon.

So you want Feed back, well heres a honest review ... It's pretty good game, you got everything basically down good, attacking, defending and escaping lol, graphics are good but heck anything that can be seen that far away usaully is good, sound... well i haven't turned on speakers while playing so i havn't a clue but i bet it's ok so thats good, but really the main reason why i didn't give 9/10 is the few issues im having with small details which could be put in to extremly help the gameplay
1. Satilites: i wanna be able to turn them so say i have a guy horizontal to me he i can turn my satilite 90 degreez and have a wall.. not just for up and down,
2. movement, when moving you have issues going off screen yes it is intended that you bounce back, but i've had ocations where one second i move under a guy and then ijust teleport above him, or the bumper will not bounce and you can go almost outa the map just your weapons and it's extremly cheap,
3. Buying and selling, theres actually 2 points for this , one is in game which is i shouldn't have to wait til im full on buildings to be able to destroy, which by the way you should actually be able to sell not destroy so you make a profit from your expensive building, also destory shouldn't destroy every single thing of that type.. thats just gay
now the outa game one, is the points you put into research, say you go ,ooo lasers you buy it and hate it?.. you wasted a research point which could have gone to upgrading a weapon... :( and that just sucks you should be able to take back points...
hmm i've had another issue but i just plain fergot :)
Good game expecting to be seeing a sequal with more buildings, fixxed annoyances above, AND MORE!... maybe customization of your little peice of land?.. who knows :)

Find out What's Going On
How do I setup a Source Dedicated Server?
To run the Steam Source Dedicated Server you will first need to install Steam. To install Steam click the link below: A Steam Source Dedicated Server requires Steam. You may download and install Steam from: Download Steam
After installing Steam, you must create a Steam account to run your dedicated server. This is separate from the Steam account you normally use to play games. If you attempt to run a dedicated server from your normal Steam account, you will not be able to join your server using the same account.
You do not need to register any games to your server account in order to host games.
(Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Half-Life 2:Deathmatch)
After adjusting the server to your liking, press the Start Server button.
You can change all of the following values without restarting the server:
To edit a value, double-click on its name.
The Main tab includes many of the settings you specified when starting the server, but there are also two new settings you can specify:Player Password Specifies a password players must enter in order to play on your server. This is a good option to implement if you wish to play only with your friends. Map Cycle Specifies the maps you wish to play and the order in which they appear. The maps will cycle according to either your Map time limit or Max win settings available from the Configure tab.
From the Configure tab, you may specify how your server runs and implement various server rules.
The Steam Dedicated Server offers a variety of viewable statistics. You can view statistics from the most recent minute, hour, or day. To add a stat to the view, check its box on the right-hand side of the dialog box.
You can change the Vertical Units to display the range of any one of these stats.
CheckboxesPlayers Display player number statistics Ping Display server ping In Display ping in Out Display ping out CPU Display CPU usage FPS Display frames per second
The Players tab displays all players currently on your server. In addition to viewing players, you can also kick them from your server or ban them from your server.Kick Kicking a player will drop the player from your server. Ban You have the option to temporarily, or permanently ban players from your server. You can manually enter an IP address or use the players' Steam ID to ban them from your server.
The Bans tab allows you to manage those bans that are in place on your server. You can remove a ban or edit the ban's time limit. To remove a ban, set the time value to 0.00 by double clicking the ID you would like to unban. The ban will no longer be visible after the server is restarted.
The console will print activity on the server, such as players joining or leaving the server, players being kicked, banned, etc…
You can also enter server console commands:addip <minutes> <IP> Bans a player by IP address for a specified number of minutes. Entering 0 for minutes is a permanent ban. banid <minutes> <SteamID> Bans a player by SteamID for a specified number of minutes. Entering 0 for minutes is a permanent ban. banid <minutes> <SteamID> kick Bans a player by SteamID for a specified number of minutes and kicks them from the server. Entering 0 for minutes is a permanent ban. changelevel <map> Changes the server to the specified map. For a full list of maps, type: maps * in the console. dropclient <UserID> Kicks a client by their UserID. To find a full list of UserID's on the server, type: users in the console. heartbeat Manually sends a heartbeat to the master server. info <SteamID> Displays user information about the requested client based on SteamID. kick <Player> or <UserID> Kicks a user by Player name, or UserID. To find a full list of UserID's on the server, type: users in the console. listid Lists all SteamIDs in your server ban list. listip Lists all IP addresses in your server ban list. maps <partial name> Lists all maps containing a partial name, for example: maps de_ would list all maps with de_ in their name.

Born and Bred in the Great Depression by Jonah Winter
Lynn: As a child, I was fascinated by my parents' stories about growing up during the Depression. Neither of them, like the children in this story, ever went hungry but the scarcities and tough times shaped them for their entire lives. My mother, at 91, still cannot bear to let anything go to waste and she has given me enough washed margarine containers to start a warehouse. Born and Bred in the Great Depression (Random/Schwartz &Wade 2012) brings those stories to young readers. An unseen narrator addresses his father, retelling his father's childhood experiences.
You got your water from a well
because there was no indoor plumbing.
There were no toilets,
so you had to use an outhouse.
I know because you've told me, Dad.
This was the world you grew up in.
Ten people in one small house, a father who looked for work every day, paid 10 cents an hour when he could find it. A hard working mother, tending a farm and garden, cooking, preserving, caring for 8 children with no electricity. The sense of these strong courageous people radiates from both Winter's spare prose and Kimberly Bulcken Root's beautiful ink and watercolor illustrations that carry a sense of the government-sponsored art of the time. There is a wonderful intimacy to the story provided by family details. The mother who wasn't afraid of handling cantankerous bulls was terrified of the prairie storms. The father who worked so hard each day rewarded himself by reading a library book each night. And the family learned to "love those things that didn't cost a single penny" in this life and to carry the "hopes of waking to the blue skies of better days."
For kids today, the Great Depression may be in the distant past but those stories and experiences couldn't be more timely. Economists say we have been in a recession but kids understand lost jobs, doing without and wondering if those better days will come soon. History is just the stories of the people who have come before us and this book provides a powerful connection for children today to children not that long ago.
What a terrific book for giving kids practice in "compare and contrast." What is the same today as it was in the Depression? What is different? Which time do you think was better for kids to grow up in? Read this aloud to classes and let the discussion fly.
Cindy: My mother was born at the tail end of the Great Depression but she lived through the rationing of WWII and it shaped her as well. We rinsed out bread wrappers and clothes-pinned them to the kitchen drapery rod to drain dry and used them instead of buying commercial storage bags. And she cut the backs off the envelopes from bills to use as scratch paper. The rationing and tight times did deeply affect that generation and we could learn from some of their habits both out of economic and an environmental concerns. But, my admiration for this book comes from the family storytelling aspect. I'm a sucker of any book that captures or encourages family sharing of personal stories. The endpapers have black and white photographs from Winter's family albums. They look familiar…they could be from my grandparents' albums. Take a peek. Read the book. Then tell your own story.
Head to Emu's Debuts for this week's Nonfiction Monday blog roundup.

Now what helped me is my mom got easy books that she knew i could read to help me boost my confidence , source: download epub. Despite it's fantastic marketing and seemingly cynical nature, it's just really good advice on interacting with people. I would warn that you shouldn't let the sometimes negative messages detract your from enjoying this; don't take an exploitative view of persuading people amazonie-decouverte.com. A practical basis for dividing the Sunday lectionary is the three-year cycle, so that all the readings for each year are presented in sequence. But there is freedom to adopt other arrangements that may be devised and seem to have pastoral advantages. 114. The texts for the chants are always to be adjoined to the readings, but separate books containing the chants alone are permitted http://amazonie-decouverte.com/?lib/happy-birthday-photo-album-journal. The kids had to be challenged to learn, naturally http://amazonie-decouverte.com/?lib/gateways-to-world-literature-volume-2-the-seventeenth-century-to-today-plus-my-literature-lab. Children tend to follow in the parent's footsteps and if they see you reading then they are likely to place value on reading. Reading silently is excellent modeling behavior, but also reading aloud together can be even better. Reading aloud provides quality family time and a good time discuss not only what is being read, but other things that are happening , e.g. download online. Using these books, students learn skills that help them meet the requirements for both the literature standards and the vocabulary acquisition and use standards http://phinandphebes.com/library/from-gutenberg-to-google-electronic-representations-of-literary-texts. But, to answer your very first question I would say she should start reading Junie B. Try to see if she can read Berenstien Bears books by herself easily. As a first grade teacher, I am not a reading specialist, but I will say that by mid-year your child should be working those types of words out, but do not panic because personally I feel that we push these little ones to points of stress and then do not understand why they don't want to read later on in higher grades when the reading becomes fluent and so important to their academic and creative thought processes online.

I've started a new project.
Indulging my obsession with coming out stories -- those of the famous and those of the not at all famous -- it's called Big Gay Closet.
I'm going to include stories of my own coming out, from drabbles to full on narratives. And I'll be inviting others to contribute their stories too. I think it could be really valuable resource for people thinking of coming out, and for people like me, who just love the kind of community feeling I get when reading these experiences, at once so unique and so uniting.
Also, it'll discuss news stories related to people coming out, running back in, and being dragged kicking and screaming out of the big gay closet.
Please drop by, and follow my new twitter account (@BigGayCloset) as well!
I'm just dying for my first contributor. Hint, hint.

Warriors: The Silver Prophecy
Hello everyone! This is my first Warriors Fanfic, and I hope you like it! :)
Summary: A tom is forced to leave his home, and is the only one to survive, thanks to a young cat who saves him. He is introduced to a group of cats known as the HighRogues, who are led by a cruel leader. He must put aside the painful memories of his past and help the cats return peace to their society.
As this is my first Warriors story, I'm not use to writing about cats. So please know that when reading, that I may not get everything right away!
Please Read, REVIEW, and Enjoy!
Chapter One
Besides the waterfall roaring nearby, the forest was relatively quiet.
It had always been this way: Untouched, wild, and, as many would say, untainted by the influence of the Twolegs.
This is what made it a great place for cats who want no ties with the large, stumbling creatures that attempted to keep them as 'kittypets'.
And yet, unknown to the inhabitants of that peaceful forest, the roar of the waterfall covered up the shrills of two cats who's lives were in the balance.
If one had happened to glance upon the flowing waters, they would see that a large, muscular dark-brown tabby was dangling near the edge of the large drop, his claws digging into a smaller, ginger she-cat, holding on for dear life.
"Hang on, Squirrelflight!" the tom gasped, his muscles straining.
Squirrelflight screeched as the tom's claws sunk into her. "Please Brambleclaw...Go on without me!" she meowed helplessly.
"No!" Brambleclaw exclaimed, and he moved his head over to look into Squirrelflight's green eyes, which were full of fear.
"Please..." she mewed again, sinking down, beginning to slip from Brambleclaw's grasp.
"I don't want to lose you," Brambleclaw stated, attempting to bring Squirrelflight up, using all of his strength, only to make her slip out more, "I couldn't face you after hearing of our kits...But I still love you! I can't change that!"
Squirrelflight's eyes flashed with happiness. "I never knew..." she said softly.
"But if you do love me...Then please, let me go. If you die here, I...I..." she trailed off, sinking further down, now almost out of Brambleclaw's grasp.
"But-" he began to say, but Squirrelflight looked up at him...And he knew. There was no other way.
"I'll never forget you..." Brambleclaw said softly, as he closed his eyes and retracted his claws, allowing Squirrelflight to fall...
And all he could hear was Squirrelflight's cries for a few moments as she fell. Brambleclaw had never felt so horrible in his life. His one love had just died in front of him, and he couldn't save her...
"Squirrelflight..." he said, pawing out at the air below, as if she would respond...But there was no response. She was gone.
Brambleclaw slowly crawled back from the ledge and fell over on his side, the last bit of energy from his muscles giving way. His breathing was heavy, and he merely stared at the nearby brush, his mind blank and his heart torn.
Everything I had is gone... he thought, closing his eyes. It wasn't long before sleep crept upon him, and he gladly fell into it.
A young, bright-orange cat and a light-gray she-cat came across an unknown tom, lying near the waterfall on his side.
"This is where the scent was coming from!" the orange cat exclaimed. The she-cat quickly made her way over to the cat's side, and held a paw gently over his chest.
"He's still breathing, although he won't last long laying here." she pointed out. "We need to get him back to camp."
The orange cat nodded, and, with the help of the she-cat, was able to get the large tom on his back.
"He's quite heavy..." the young cat commented as he began to walk.
"I'll help. Camp isn't too far, but let's not wait around." she mewed, moving beside him and helping to support some of the large tom's weight.
It didn't take long to arrive at the camp. Once they did,the orange cat gladly shouldered the burly tom off of his back.
"Ember, what is this?" came the voice of a dark-gray tom who approached the scene. He had a scar along his nose, and was broad-shouldered and quite muscular, making Ember look puny in comparison.
"S-Smoke," the young cat stated, looking from side-to-side nervously, "I...I-"
The she-cat stepped in and interrupted him. "He said that there was an unfamiliar cat nearby, so we went out and found him."
Smoke eyed her for a few moments with a hint of suspicion. "Well, River, you should know that Dark should be informed of any journeys outside of the camp." he stated.
River shook her head and turned towards Ember, ignoring Smoke. "We should move him to my den. Some of these old wounds on his body have opened up, so I need to treat them" she said.
Ember nodded, and Smoke scowled, turning and padding away.
They moved the tom into River's den, which was slightly larger than the others, due to her being the most knowledgeable of herbs and healing. They laid him on a patch of grass that was used as bedding, and River began to soak up the blood that was oozing from his wounds using some cobwebs.
"Thank you Ember, you've been a big help. I'll put in a good word for you with Night." River mewed to the young cat, who's eyes lit up.
"Really? Thank you!" he replied, dipping his head respectfully and backing out of the den. Night was one of the strongest cats in the HighRogues, and Ember used him as a role-model and respected him greatly.
River continued to work on the tom's wounds, applying mushed-up Chervil roots that would help with the infected scratches that the tom had obviously failed to take care of before.
I wonder where he came from, she wondered, finishing up and dabbing the last amount of blood from the wounds, tossing the soaked cobwebs to the side...
And that was when he woke up. River jumped in surprise as the tom's eyes opened, and, seeing his unfamiliar surroundings, tried to jump to his paws, but ended up screeching in pain and simply wobbled over to the nearby wall, leaning against it.
"Where...am I?" he asked weakly, his eyes darting all over the place.
"Please calm down, we brought you here and saved your life." River stated, flicking her tail towards the Chervil and blood-soaked cobwebs. She was slightly fearful of the muscular tom, since he could easily attack her if he wished.
The tom's breathing began to slow, and he began to calm himself. Seeing this, River allowed her fears to slip away.
"What are you called?" River asked soothingly, sitting on her haunches and folding her tail over her paws.
"Brambleclaw..." the tom stated. River nodded.
"I am River. Welcome to the HighRogues." River told him, dipping her head respectfully, and, to her surprise, Brambleclaw did the same back. "You aren't like other Rogues we have picked up; where are you from?"
Brambleclaw was about to answer, when painful memories suddenly flooded in. Memories of large beasts killing every cat that he had come to know and care for...Memories of leaving behind his home, and the brave cats who stayed behind to fight for it...
And, most of all, the death of his beloved.
"Brambleclaw?" River said, and he snapped back to reality.
"Sorry...I've come from a far-away place, but...I can't go back there." Brambleclaw stated. River decided not to investigate further, seeing the pain in his eyes.
"Well, you can stay here for as long as you like. I need to go inform Dark of your arrival, so please, get some rest." River told him, and Brambleclaw nodded, slowly laying down, wincing slightly at the pain from his wounds.
When River left the den, Brambleclaw closed his eyes and couldn't help but imagine everything that had happened.
"Brambleclaw! Take the others and leave. Squirrelflight too!" Firestar's voice echoed in his head.
"No...I can't leave you here!" Brambleclaw had replied, stepping towards the cat he respected the most.
"You would have made an excellent leader, so, if I die here today, let it be known that you helped the clan by leading the others to safety!" Firestar stated. Brambleclaw didn't want to argue with him further, and dipped his head respectfully.
"StarClan be with you." Brambleclaw stated as he turned away and told the others to leave. When the Queens, Apprentices, and Kits had gone, he began searching for Squirrelflight, finding her next to the body of her sister who was unmoving, blood dripping from her neck.
"Squirrelflight, we must go, now!" he exclaimed. Squirrelflight shook her head.
"No...Leafpool-" she began to say in a sorrowful voice, but Brambleclaw brushed up beside her and comfortingly set his cheek beside hers.
"There's nothing to be done..." Brambleclaw told her. After a few moments. Squirrelflight nodded, and reluctantly turned away from her sister, following Brambleclaw out of the camp.
Looking over his shoulder, Brambleclaw could see the remaining Warriors, along with their graceful leader, stand their ground in the middle of the camp.
Firestar...Sandstorm...Graystripe...Dustpelt...Lionblaze...They all had their heads dipped, and appeared to be praying to StarClan for guidance, for they all knew what was to come...
And that was when Brambleclaw could see the pack of beasts jump out onto High Rock, snarling, gazing down at the cats with hunger in their eyes...
Brambleclaw would have watched further, but he could see Squirrelflight watching as well. He didn't want to see her father, mother, and the others perish, so he nudged her away and told her to continue running...
And they ran, and ran...Yet Brambleclaw couldn't protect everyone. One by one, everyone fell. The Queens were too exhausted to feed their hungry kits, and the Apprentices were lacking food from giving it to the Queens in hopes that they would survive...
In the end, only he and Squirrelflight were left. However, one of the beasts had suddenly attacked them, and they were forced to leap into the waters of a flowing river, where the beast did not follow...
Brambleclaw had escaped the waters before a large drop came upon them, but Squirrelflight could not. He was able to catch her by the scruff of the neck with his teeth, but she slipped, and he found himself having to claw into her...
But then, just like the others, she was gone.
Now, Brambleclaw couldn't help but curse StarClan, who merely sat by and watched all of this unfold...
And, after a few moments of spitting insults to the cats he once worshiped, he fell into a sleep that came with nightmares of the past events...
To be continued...
Note – Here's an explanation for the background to this story: A pack of wolves invaded the Lake territories, and wiped out the Clans one by one. ThunderClan was the last, and they attempted to fight them off, but lost most of their warriors. And so, Firestar and the others stayed behind, while Brambleclaw led the weaker of the Clan to safety, although most of them fell from exhaustion and shock. One of the wolves was able to follow their trail and attacked Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, making them jump into the river, where, at the end, a waterfall resided, and Brambleclaw wasn't able to hold onto Squirrelflight and had to let her fall into the waters below.
There are things involving the Clans that will come later, so I won't spoil them. Possibly a cat or two may show up, you never know. ;)

Oracle Licensing in VMware
Many VMware customers are successfully running Oracle on VMware vSphere while receiving the required level of support from Oracle. Oracle cannot be licensed by virtual CPUs today, but as long as Oracle software runs on fully licensed hosts, customers are not in violation of published Oracle policies. In particular, DRS Host Affinity rules can be used to run Oracle on a subset of the hosts within a cluster. In many cases, customers can use vSphere to achieve substantial licensing savings.
Oracle Licensing in VMware Environments
Many Oracle products, including the database, are licensed by physical processor. This licensing model works well in a physical world, in which customers typically run one application per host and physical processors are easy to track. But this model is not well-adapted to a virtual world. VMware vSphere enables you to consolidate multiple workloads in the form of virtual machines on a single host. Additionally, VMware enables you to move these virtual machines across hosts with VMware vMotion, VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and High Availability (HA). When running products that are licensed by physical processor on vSphere, customers should ensure the following:
• Virtual machines are running on hosts fully licensed for Oracle.
• Virtual machine movement within a cluster is restricted to hosts that are fully licensed for Oracle.
• Virtual machine movements are tracked so that customers are able to demonstrate compliance with Oracle
licensing policies.
Hosts: License All CPUs in a Host for Oracle
Many Oracle products are licensed by physical core or socket, and for these products Oracle does not have a virtual CPU-based licensing mechanism. In a vSphere environment, the consequence of Oracle's licensing policy is that customers must license all physical cores or sockets in the vSphere host (fully licensed host). However, once the host is fully licensed, customers are allowed to run an unlimited number of virtual machines and application instances on that host without additional licenses.
Clusters: Fully Licensed Versus Partially Licensed Clusters
In a vSphere environment, multiple hosts are typically clustered together, enabling virtual machines to move freely between the hosts by means of vMotion, Dynamic Resource Scheduling, VMware HA, and VMware Fault Tolerance. In a vSphere cluster, there are two distinct Oracle licensing scenarios to consider. In the first scenario, all the hosts in the cluster are fully licensed to run the Oracle product (fully licensed clusters). In the second scenario,
only a subset of the hosts in the cluster are licensed for Oracle (partially licensed clusters).
Scenario A: Fully Licensed Clusters
When a customer has enough Oracle application instances to justify creating a dedicated cluster for those applications, all the hosts in the cluster can be fully licensed for the application. This approach has multiple advantages:
• Customers can deploy an unlimited number of virtual machines running the Oracle application on the cluster. In essence, the cluster becomes an "all you can eat" cluster from an Oracle licensing standpoint. Typically, this enables a significant reduction in licensing requirements by consolidating physical processors and licenses by a factor of 4x or more.
• Customers can take advantage of VMware software's many advanced features, such as Dynamic Resource
Scheduler and vSphere HA, to get the highest possible infrastructure utilization and further reduce licensing costs.
Scenario B: Partially Licensed Clusters
When a customer does not have enough Oracle application instances to justify creating a dedicated cluster for those applications, only a subset of the hosts in the cluster are licensed for the Oracle application. In this situation, the customer must be careful to restrict the movement of Oracle application instances and virtual machines to only those hosts that are licensed to run the product.

How to Drive Foot Traffic With Google AdWords
In this video Google provides a great overview of how to drive local traffic to brick and mortar shops using Google AdWords. We summarized the 20-minute video and provide some actionable tips to help you hit the ground running. This guide will help your local business make the most of your campaign budget by targeting your ads to the right people and by giving them incentive to come into your store.
Explanation of Location Targeting
Google AdWords permits very precise location targeting. Gaining an understand of allowable targeting parameters will help you reach a very specific audience. AdWords permits targeting by country, state, metropolitan area, city, or zip code. You can target people that are currently located in those locations or people that are interested in those locations. The later option is what we call "search intent".
Google Plus Local Pages
Creating a Google+ or Google Places listing is critical to the success of your local business. Verifying the location of your Google+ location is critical. Google will send a verification code to your physical address. It's very important to verify your account with this code immediately when you receive the code.
Location Extensions
Google offers a tool called "Location Extensions". This is a very powerful tool that allows your ads to display the physical address that is listed on your Google+ page. This will give your target audience more confidence in the information which will help get them into your store. You can also manually link your places with your ads if you do not wish to create a Google+ page.
Call Extensions (and Call Reporting)
This extension allows users to call you directly from the ad. This works by detecting the type of device the user is using. When users see your ad on a mobile phone, they can call you just by clicking the link in the search results ad. This technique allows your ad to stand out from other ads and has proven to increase phone calls from our experience. Google also offers another service in conjunction with this extension for collecting data on phone calls received from Google ads. This advanced reporting will give you information on the users area code and location.
Benefits of Mobile Specific Campaigns
Setting your keywords and match types can help improve your performance with mobile users. Most users enter shortened versions of search queries when using mobile phones. By illuminating lengthy keywords you will see a better performance with exposure to mobile users. It's also important to only drive users to pages that are mobile friendly. If your landing page is not mobile friendly the user will bounce.
Tips on Writing Great Ads that Go to the Right Landing Page
If the goal of your ad is to get visitors into your physical location adding a map is a great idea. Try to use landmarks and well known intersections to get the user seeing and thinking about your physical location. If the visitor sees images of familiar places they will be more likely to remember where your store is located.
Ad Scheduling
Scheduling your ads is simple and effective. This can be useful for businesses offering different services at different times. A restaurant for example could run ads for breakfast early in the morning and ads for dinner in the afternoon and evening. A business can also put a limited time offer in the ad itself and schedule the ad to run up to the deadline. For example a deal similar to this one, "Stop in Before Noon For 15% Off". The business owner could schedule this ad to run from 7am to 11:45am. This would ensure that their offer is optimized for success.
The above tools and tactics will allow advertisers to gain more control over the success of their ads and allow them to drive more traffic into their physical stores.

Get the facts about Sonoma State University Italian courses, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Sonoma State University Italian Language information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Sonoma State University.
Whether you would like to study language to broaden your cultural skills, or are thinking of living abroad, learning a foreign language may help you land a job after graduation. While it's true that taking German or Italian classes would be great in order to tour Western Europe, it's a fact that becoming a bilingual speaker is a great skill to list on your resume. Most German of Italian language courses will have advanced placement (AP) testing available, if you seek advanced standing, or college credit for language fluency that you possess.
If you want to learn to speak a language, there's no easy way around straight memorization, speaking practice, diction drills, and vocabulary fluency. If you note that a young child can pick up a new language in under four years just by watching and listening to others, think what you can do with concentrated language study. The Foreign Service Institute has developed rapid-learning language programs in both German and Italian, and the Rosetta Stone program is a software-based introduction to a language, which teaches you basic vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling, and grammar. Beyond consideration for Sonoma State University Italian courses, you may think about Bluefield College initiatives for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Up front, I didn't read all the stories; there are 22 stories in this collection, and I didn't have time to read the whole thing, so this review only represents a small percentage of them.
But, of the stories I read, none of them were bad. In fact, they were all uniformly excellent and I'm looking forward to reading more of the collection at a later date.
Quick thoughts about each of the stories I read:
The Secret Cell by William E. Burton - The story itself is not only great, but so is its backstory: Burton, the author, wrote it in 1837, before Poe wrote what is widely regarded to be the first detective story, Murders in the Rue Morgue. He wrote it for the magazine he himself founded, The Gentleman's Magazine, and the editor he hired was a certain Edgar Allan Poe (who published Rue in 1841. While Dupin's standing as the first genius detective is safe, it's likely Poe read this story; whether or not it served as an inspiration can only be guessed at. But it's a fun story with strong writing, lots of detective legwork, fisticuffs, disguises, abductions, nuns, asylums and hidden rooms.
On Duty with Inspector Field by Charles Dickens - Dickens and I are fair weather friends at best, but for downright vivid descriptions of poverty-stricken Victorian London, I'm not sure you could find better. Not really much of a plot to this one at all - just a 'tour' through the dregs of London in the middle of the night as the police go about their rounds. This story does not disprove my suspicions that Dickens was paid by the word.
The Diary of Anne Rodway by Wilkie Collins - As the title suggests, this story takes the form of diary entries, but the narrative is very smooth. There's a real mystery here and it's engaging, but the solution felt somewhat abrupt and the coincidences verging on supernatural (a device, I'm guessing, Collins enjoyed using).
You Are Not Human, Monsieur D'Artagnan by Alexandre Dumas, pere - This is an except from the final Three Musketeers book, The Vicomte de Bragelonne, but it feels fairly complete as it stands alone, even to a reader for whom the general story of the Three Musketeers comes strictly from the movies and popular culture. In this short piece D'Artagnan plays the part of Sherlock Holmes as he uses sharp observations, empirical evidence and genius detecting to shed light on a shooting.
The Dead Witness; or, The Bush Waterhole by W.W. (Mary Fortune) - I didn't set out to read this one, but as I was flipping through, a mention of Australia caught my eye, so I stopped. Turns out this is the first known detective story ever written by a woman. Fortune was a prolific writer in Australia, although sexism being what it was, she was forced to write under a pseudonym kept so tight a secret that no one knew Mary Fortune was W.W. until decades after her death. Her life was not a happy one, but it was not for want of talent if this story is any judge. It's a short one, but it's vivid and well written and the end, while a bit fantastic, is also deliciously grotesque.
The Assassin's Natal Autograph by Mark Twain - Another except, this one from Puddin' Head Wilson. This one is slightly harder to follow, as there are characters named that are obviously important, but missing any backstory at all, but in most aspects it works really well. It's Twain, so the setting (a courtroom) is full of detail and suspense; the focus of the scene is the power of fingerprints and the denouement, even without the backstory is climatic.
The Stolen Cigar-Case by Bret Harte - Another one that caught my eye, this time because I saw "Sherlock Holmes" in the introduction. This is a parody of the Greatest Detective of all time, as well as a parody of his long suffering Watson. It started off hilarious - laugh out loud funny - but by midway, it felt a bit hateful. Parodies are supposed to mock, but reading this one gets the impression that Harte really hated Watson and Holmes both.
An Intangible Clue by Anna Katherine Green - The author of the first known detective novel by a woman (Mary Fortune, above, wrote only short stories) and the author of The Leavenworth Case, this was my first introduction to her work and Miss Violet Strange. I hope it won't be my last; Miss Strange has claims to Sherlockian abilities in her own right, and I found the story both intricate and slyly funny. The mystery itself was complete enough, but I was left wanting more when it came to Miss Strange and her mysterious employer.
If you're a fan of the old-style detective stories, I don't think you can go wrong with this collection. They just don't write them like they used to.
I read this for BookLikes-opoly and completed a total of 202 pages.

How to combine alternative sweetners
For Low glycemic version use any combination of organic sugar, sugar alcohols like erythritol (Swerve) or Xylitol and coconut palm sugar plus a bit of stevia powder concentrate (erythritol, xylitol and coconut palm sugar are 70% as sweet as sugar, so I add a bit of stevia). You could use liquid stevia added to liquids. Be careful with Stevia as it can leave a bitter aftertaste if you add too much.
You cannot use only Stevia to sweeten baked goods. Sugar provides texture; stevia does not.
I purchase stevia powder concentrate at Amazon. Here's one brand This is extremely sweet and a bag lasts a long time.
I prefer erythritol because it does not have the laxative effect of Xylitol.
Here is one brand of erythritol on Amazon: Erysweet Erythritol 1 lb bag NonGMO Low Carb Sweetener
Erythritol, stevia and xylitol have a zero glycemic index.
Example: if recipe calls for 2-1/2 cups of sugar: Blend together, 1 C erythritol, 1 C coconut palm sugar, ½ C organic sugar, 1/16 tsp stevia powder.
Truvia is something I've used. Read the label. 1/2 cup Truvia = 1 cup sugar.
Truvia is produced by Cargill and CocaCola and there is controversy regarding it's 'natural' claims; not uncommon for mega food corporations. Here's a 'just the facts' article: https://authoritynutrition.com/truvia-good-or-bad/
Of course, you can create any combination you desire. You could use 2 ½ cups erythritol if diabetic. NOTE: If you eat alot of erythritol in a day you will have a gurgly stomach. Just as Xylitol has a laxative effect, a gurgly stomach is a potential side effect of erythritol.
AGAIN, Erythritol, stevia and xylitol have a zero glycemic index.
Coconut Palm Sugar is brown and tastes a bit like brown sugar so I often use it in place of brown sugar.
CPS can darken your baked goods a bit so if you are making a white cake and you want it to be as white as possible then don't use CPS. Your 'white' cakes are not going to be as white as white flour because Daonuts contains almond meal and flax.
Coconut Palm Sugar is about 30 on the glycemic index. Now available in mainstream stores like Smiths, as well as, most natural, organic markets like Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Whole Foods and even Trader Joe's now carries this at a great price.

You don't see this every day.
Class of 2017 two-way sports star Isiah Stokes made some noise—literally and figuratively—Thursday when he channeled his inner Shaquille O'Neal and Darryl Dawkins.
During an AAU Tournament in Las Vegas, Stokes slammed home a thunderous dunk while shattering the backboard in the process.
While no video has emerged just yet, you can assess the damage he inflicted with these pictures via Twitter. He even had to be attended to for a cut on his arm.

Stokes 1, Backboard 0.
Stokes is the younger brother of Jarnell Stokes, an ex-Tennessee basketball star and former NBA draft pick. The younger Stokes is being recruited to play both football and basketball. And the big brute is equally adept in both sports.
The 6'8", 273-pound center from Memphis, Tennessee (Lausanne Collegiate School) is rated as a 4-star basketball prospect according to ESPN. ESPN ranks him as the No. 70 overall recruit in the 2017 class and the 11th-best center in the country. The site also regards him as the second-best basketball player in the state of Tennessee.
Meanwhile, 247Sports rates him as a 3-star recruit in football, as he is also a solid offensive lineman. The site ranks him as the No. 1277 overall prospect in the 2017 class.
With his strength and mean streak, he will surely be a wanted man for either basketball or football. Many people expect him to follow in his brother's footsteps and attend Tennessee for either basketball or football—or perhaps both.

Minority mystery writers discuss color and craft
Published 4:00 am, Friday, February 25, 2000
THE TROUBLES, wobbles and oddnesses of being a minority mystery write r will be discussed by an all-star panel at the main library's Koret Auditorium Sa turday afternoon.
Half a dozen top contemporary mystery writers will offer their views. Paula L. Woods, author of "Inner City Blues: A Charlotte Justice Novel" and "Spooks, Spies and Private Eyes: Black Mystery, Crime and Suspense fiction," will moderate a panel that includes Gary Phillips ("The Jook"), Lucha Corpi ("Black Widow's Wardrobe"), Dale Furutani ("Jade Palace Vendetta") and Penny Mickelbury ("The Step Between").
The seminar will investigate the impact of minority mystery writing, said Daphne Holmes, head of adult programming and exhibitions for the library. "They will talk about the reception of these stories, both by the publishers and the public," she said. "There will be discussion of, 'Does race have any impact on this genre of writing?' "
The free Saturday seminar will offer readings of mystery works and insights into publishing for minority writers, built around the books of authors on the panel, including Phillips' Ivan Monk series.
Phillips' latest book, "The Jook," a story of Zelmont Raines, a washed-up pro football player caught up in killings in South-Central L.A., has already received a series of favorable reviews, including one from the Washington Post Book World, which said, "Phillips gives you all the necessary elements: thugs all over the place, beautiful women who always want to have sex, and dishonesty and deceit on nearly every other page . . . an absurd yet frank take on the world of the modern superstar athlete."
Brian Gilmore of the Washington Post wrote, "Chester Himes is somewhere laughing. . . . All of the basic principles that drove Himes' legendary Harlem novels - honesty, distinctive characters, absurdity and good writing - are here in Phillips' work."
Phillips, who has written on politics, labor unions and pop culture for The Examiner, L.A. Times, Freestyle and the Black Scholar, counts half a dozen stories in the Ovan Monk series, including "Perdition, U.S.A.," "Only the Wicked" and "Bad Night is Falling." He also has
written "The Perpetrators," a novella with its own soundtrack, and "High Hand," featuring Martha Chainey, former showgirl and corporate mob courier.
Phillips, inspired by African American writers such as Walter Mosley ("Devil in a Blue Dress') has risen quickly in the world of mystery writing - he finds himself bouncing between the outsized world of Hollywood blockbusters and small book-signings at such out-of-the-way places as Westside Cuts Barber Shop on West Pico in Los Angeles.
Breaking into mystery writing hasn't been easy, Phillips said in an interview after "The Jook" appeared. "What the publishers want is cozy books - cozy books like 'Murder, She Wrote,' " he explained. "They don't like hard-boiled stuff."
"Mystery Writers of Color" will be held 2-3:30 p.m. Saturday at Koret Auditorium in the San Francisco Main Library, 100 Larkin St., with book signings set from 3:30-4 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (415) 557-4401. <

Law Minister imputes 'political motives' to poll panel chiefFebruary 2nd, 2009 - 1:35 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Feb 2 (IANS) Union Law Minister H.R. Bhardwaj Monday attributed political motives to Chief Election Commissioner N. Gopalaswami for seeking the ouster of Election Commissioner Navin Chawla from the poll panel."This is unfortunate that the move has come when the election commission should have been revising voters list and preparing for the elections," he said
"He (Gopalaswami) should not behave like a political boss," Bhardwaj added.
Asserting that "it is my ministry which is the administrative ministry of the election department", Bhardwaj said Gopalaswami should have consulted the law ministry before writing to President Pratibha Patil.
Bhardwaj said the documents sent by Gopalaswami to the president came to the law ministry through the prime minister's office and the ministry will give its opinion after examining them.
Gopalaswami late last month demanded the removal of Chawla over charges of "partisanship". Gopalaswami sent his recommendation to the president, who has forwarded it to the prime minister.

Defeat diabetes now
It is estimated that over 100 million Indians will suffer from diabetes by 2030. Alarming as it may sound, experts emphasize that simple lifestyle measures can prevent diabetes. Here's the lowdown
Indians are genetically more susceptible. We have the 'thrifty gene'-primed to store energy as abdominal fat. It helped cope with food shortage in the distant past, but now when food is plentiful, it increases diabetes risk. But experts agree that genes alone cannot explain why the numbers have shot up dramatically in the past 40 years. They hold our lifestyle-the tendency to remain sedentary and overeat, along with stress, which throws our hormones out of whack-and environment responsible.
Insulin is a hormone that regulates our blood sugar levels. Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body cannot make or use insulin properly. Over time, uncontrolled diabetes can turn lethal by causing serious damage to blood vessels (cardiovascular disease, stroke, retinopathy), nerves (neuropathy or numbness) and organs (kidney disease).
condition and how to beat it.
Recent studies show that weight-loss (bariatric) surgery can induce remission in diabetes patients. A 2013 study by Medanta-the Medicity, Gurgaon revealed that more than 90 per cent of obese patients were able to go off their diabetes medication following a surgery, even prior to significant weight loss.
Of course, the best place to intervene is in the detectable process that precedes a diagnosis-predia-betes. This is a condition where blood glucose level is high, but not high enough to be in the diabetic zone. Studies indicate that without intervention, most people with prediabetes will get full-blown
diabetes within 10 years. However, with changes in lifestyle, including modest weight loss (as little as
5-7 per cent of current weight), people with prediabetes can prevent or delay the development of the condition by 54 per cent three years later.
Portion control, eating high-fibre foods, wholegrains, adequate protein, swapping bad fats with good ones, choosing small and frequent meals and ditching refined foods are the principles that stave off rise in blood sugar levels. Along with calorie reduction, slow absorption of foods should be your goal.
Exercise helps torch calories, slash weight, lower your blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. The minimum recommendation is 30 minutes a day, five days a week, though experts recommend more.
Stress causes your blood sugar levels to skyrocket, giving you the energy to fight or flee. But with chronic stress, extra sugar is released conti-nuously without being used up by the body. Moreover, the stress hormone cortisol triggers cravings for high-fat, high-sugar comfort foods. A study from Duke University, USA found that stress management techniques can help you control blood sugar levels. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation and mindfulness.
Sleep helps to stabilize blood sugar. Fewer than six hours a night is associated with a three-fold increased likelihood of elevated blood sugar levels (prediabetes), says a study published in Annals of Epidemiology. Inadequate sleep also contributes to weight gain: The Nurses' Health Study tracked 68,183 women for up to 16 years and found that those who got five hours of sleep or less, weighed about 1.14 kg more and were 15 per cent more likely to become obese. Poor sleep is also associated with hunger hormones that make you eat more. Get the recommended seven to eight hours every night.
According to a study involving men, published in Diabetes Care, smoking cigarettes was associated with a significant increase in diabetes risk, even after adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI) and other potential confounders such as physical activity. If you smoke, seek help to quit now.
It's wise to be cautious-especially if you are trying to lose weight. Recent NHS, UK guidelines recommend restricting consumption to 14 units per week, spreading it out over three or more days. (A bottle of red wine = 10 units; a pint of regular beer = 3 units.)
An expanding waistline is a strong predictor of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Abdominal fat (or visceral fat) is highly metabolic. It breaks down quickly, travels around the body, parking itself on various tissues including those of the pancreas-the insulin production house of the body.
Beginning in your 30s, an annual blood sugar test is an absolute must. If you are overweight or have a family history of diabetes, start earlier.
Expert Panel (in alphabetical order): DrAmbrishMithal, chairman & head, Endocrinology and Diabetes Division, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurgaon; DrAnoop Misra, chairman, Fortis CDOC Hospital for Diabetes and Allied Sciences, New Delhi; Dr BinayakSinha, consultant, Endocrinology, AMRI Hospitals, Kolkata; Dharini Krishnan, consultant dietician, Chennai; Dr Shashank Joshi, endocrinologist, Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai; Dr V. Mohan, chairman, Dr Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre, Chennai.
Metformin is the backbone of diabetes treatment. Sulphonylureas is equally popular. However, the past decade has seen the development of many new diabetes drugs. No doubt expensive, these drugs not only ensure weight loss, they also prevent weight gain and stop hypoglycaemia (sudden dip in blood sugar levels). They are also known to cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects. Diabetes being a chronic condition, over time you need to combine drugs to manage blood sugar better. Here's the latest in diabetes medication:
Incretin-based therapies: These novel drugs activate the incretin hormonal system in our gut, stimulating insulin production and inhibiting glucagon (anti-insulin) production from the pancreas in response to food in the stomach.
They come in two forms:
These include twice-a-day injections (exenatide) and once-a-day
liraglutide. The weekly injectibledulaglutide was introduced this year.
SGLT-2 inhibitors: These oral tablets push out glucose through urine. These include canagliflozin, dapagliflozinand empagliflozin.
People with Type 1 diabetes and some with Type 2 diabetes need to take
insulin via an injection or pump. Animal-based insulin has given way to
human (pure insulin) and analogues (designer insulin). Pure insulin is
available in fast-, medium-and slow-acting forms. Designer insulin is
rapid-acting (lispro, aspart, glulisine), ultrashort (buccal spray)

The Tommyknockers by Stephen King
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
A few years ago, a popular Internet critic named Doug Walker (better known as the Nostalgia Critic) created a game known as 'The Steven King drinking game' for use in reviewing the film adaptation of the novel 'It'.
I'm not going to comment on the insensitivity of creating a drinking game after a known alcoholic. I'm a fan of Dougs, but found said review to not be his best. The drinking game however instructed viewers to take a shot whenever certain prevalent King stereotypes came into the story, ie: characters that are alcoholics, characters that are writers, etc…
If I were playing that game right now, I'd have died of alcohol poisoning.
I'm of two minds on Tommyknockers. I like the plot of Gard and Bobbi digging up and old UFO, of the strains on their friendship, and the physical tole it takes on them. The issue is that this plot takes up a maximum of 1/3 of the novel.
The rest is just… Stuff.
Just stuff. That's it. Characters come and go with little to no point. We have entire chapters and multiple-chapter sections of the text devoted to people and events that have absolutely no bearing on the plot. There's an entire chapter devoted to a pilot that crashes after flying over the town. Another three chapters devoted to reporters investigating the mysterious events in the town ( which wouldn't be so bad, except it doesn't resolve).
There is no point to any of it. I read it all and resisted the urge to skip parts under the assumption that a master like King would be going somewhere with it, although I had suspicions that it would not. There is no point. It's 400 pages of padding. Obvious padding that's tedious to read, because you realize it's padding while reading it.
I read an interview from King once where he said he didn't plan his novels before he started writing. With Cell I believe that. With Tommyknockers, I think he planned it, realized it would be shorter than people expected it to be, then went about filling.
How do I grade this? How do I grade it when I loved the main plot but am so dismayed by the crap I had to wade through to reach each plot point?
I was going to give the 1/3 I liked 5/5, but that still only works out to 0.6/5, rounded up to 1. That lumps it in with trash like Darkly Dreaming Dexter, which it does not deserve. I'm giving it 2/5. Skip any scene that doesn't have Gard or Bobbi in it and you'll have a much better reading experience.

"To evangelize means giving witness with joy and simplicity to what we are and what we believe in."—Pope Francis

Best Book of My Year
Having finished listening today to the audiobook of Jesus: A Pilgrimage, narrated beautifully by its author, James Martin, SJ, I have purchased the book—new in hardcover—from Amazon. I wasn't supposed to do that. I am supposed to be saving money.
But though I have gone through a year of getting rid of books, giving them away, clearing space in my house and heart after years of accumulation, this is one book I just "need to have." I want to be able to pick it up at any moment, thumb through it to a chapter or passage that interests me, and (as the Jesuits say) pray on it.
It is that good a book.
Before I leave it behind, in its audio format, and while waiting for the hardcover to arrive free from Amazon on Saturday, let me just say why I think Jesus: A Pilgrimage should be on the shelf of every Catholic, every Christian, everyone who has ever considered becoming one or the other, and even any skeptic who thinks that Christian is the last thing he or she will ever be.
1. Jesus: A Pilgrimage is an artful blend of personal experience (Martin's journey to the Holy Land with Jesuit friend George), a wide range of scholarship (Catholic and non, academic and popular, male and female), and thirty years (I'm guessing) of prayer. Ignatian prayer, the kind practiced by Martin and other Jesuits, is, as I am learning, a special kind of prayer. It takes one inside a Bible story, opening up an "old chestnut" and revealing the colorful glories inside.
2. As I wrote previously, Jesus: A Pilgrimage is structured brilliantly. Not only does it take the reader chronologically through Jesus's life (roughly in parallel with Jim and George's travels in Israel), but it ends each chapter with the Gospel passage that the chapter has spent many pages opening up for us. So that when we come back to the "old chestnut" and hear it afresh, it is shot through with new meaning.
3. As I wrote in my brief Goodreads appreciation, Jesus: A Pilgrimage is as amusing as it is inspiring. Martin speaks fondly of his traveling partner, George, a Jesuit prison chaplain he has known for many years. George, without ever being described physically, without our ever having much of his résumé, emerges as a true character, a sidekick, and a comic one in the tradition of Sancho Panza alongside Don Quijote. As a result, I began thinking of these two traveling Jesuits as "Abbott and Costello in the Holy Lands"—where Jim (Martin) plays the straight Bud Abbott to George's hilarious comic Lou Costello. This is overstating the case, as Martin makes his own comical missteps and misstatements. But it is the closest I can come to saying that I laughed out loud in the middle of chapters before being hushed in awe at the ends of chapters.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Read it or listen to Martin's excellent narration.
Or both.
