The Tennessee Department of Transportation is concerned about a growing number of deaths on Tennessee roads. The state is well above last year's numbers.
The car crash death toll is 288 since the beginning of 2012. That's 27 more deaths compared to the same period last year.
TDOT and the THP are starting a new campaign they say will target behaviors that make accidents worse like texting or not wearing a seatbelt.
To get the word out, the electronic road signs will start carrying messages about safety, including a tally of how many people have died in crashes.

My fiancé and I have decided that a small family-only wedding ceremony and reception is the only way to go. The problem we now face is deciding where we should have it!
Ideally we're looking for a nicer restaurant in Calgary, Canmore, or Banff that has a private room suitable for as few as 12 people but also large enough to accommodate as many as 22. If we could also do a short ceremony there then all the better.
But there is a complication: Due to scheduling issues we will need to have our wedding shortly before this upcoming Christmas and on a Saturday night. Yes, prime Christmas party season. Needless to say we'd like to book a place sooner than later!
Unfortunately we won't know the exact number of guests until closer to the date since some some of our guests are from out of town and can't commit to coming just yet. Price range is fairly flexible but the ultra-fine dining restaurants may be a bit out of our price range. But they may still be worth looking into. In terms of ambiance, neither of us are fans of the super modern look or of the "dead animals hanging on every wall" look.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!
I can't wait until all of this wedding planning stuff is over :)

text: difficult child #1 went into his new program at the end of May. He had a rather peaceful honeymoon period but he's beginning to show his true colors now. This program is pretty strict and I really like the staff there so far. They call him out on his BS and don't let him manipulate them. difficult child has called me twice in the last week. It always starts with tears and "I hate this place, I want to come home", etc. The first time it ended with him calling me an "F'ing B" and last night it ended with him telling me I don't love him, I only care about myself and my husband and I as far as he's concerned I can go "F" myself. Lovely huh? I hung up because I refuse to allow him to talk to me like that. He called back almost immediately after I hung up. At that point I'd had it. I told him that HIS actions are preventing him from coming home and that HE's responsible for his actions. I told him that although he may be hurt by decisions we've made, we're also hurt by decisions he's made. For example, just a few weeks ago for his HS graduation my husband and I scraped together $400 to buy him a new laptop. We were so excited to give it to him and it meant a lot to us that we were able to get it for him. I worked extra hours and my husband worked an extra side job or two so we could buy it for him. Well, he liked it for a week, then proceeded to try to reprogram it. After that he hated it and then I just found out he sold it for $50 so he could buy junk food! I want to cry! Seriously! So basically now all he has is $50 (the staff took it to hold so that he can't buy junk with it), no laptop, nothing. I learned a lesson though. I will NEVER do anything like that for him again. He simply doesn't care about anyone or anything but himself and what HE wants! I'm hurt and sad but maybe that was his intention in the first place?? Anyway, I called the staff earlier to find out what's happening there. They said he's fine until he doesn't get his own way. That's when he starts freaking out and screaming and cursing and breaking things. Yeah, what else is new? Same as he did at home. And here he is telling me last night that he's changed and that I won't give him a chance. How can I give him a chance if he's still doing the same things there that he did at home? Does he really believe that WHERE he is matters? No what matters is what HE wants and what HE can get out of people. Once he doesn't get his own way he wants outta wherever he is FAST. I'm so stressed! I'm starting to think this will never end. I had hopes that once he was 18 it would be easier. Silly me huh???

Nigor Zero G (2015)
The Nigor Zero G is a 49 litre pack that benefits from an exceptionally low weight of just 1102g, and it is built from very durable ripstop nylon and Dyneema materials. It has just one main compartment, a fixed lid and compression straps that work well with the side mesh pockets. The back system doesn't allow the airflow of other packs, however, and it lacks twin compartments too. 4/5
This comes in medium or large back lengths with no other adjustment apart from top tensioning straps. There is no women's version either. It fitted me fine with the shoulder straps being more mouldable than others, while the hipbelt was stiffer and more supportive, but it didn't mould so well to my shape. 4/5
You don't get the airflow across the back of many other packs but you do get some open mesh foam padding. The back panel is firm and allows you to pack without too much concern that something will dig into your back. The hipbelt takes some of the load easily but for heavier loads a bit more cushioning and support in the shoulder straps would be good. 4/5
In use
The Nigor Zero G's weight of 1102g is a real bonus on the hill. The rest of the features are practical but some may prefer twin compartments or an extendable lid. There is a useful large zipped pocket on the front that swallows a jacket or overtrousers with ease. The lid pocket is large, and there is a snow lock extension. Ideal if you like simpler lightweight designs. 5/5
The high price tag is due in part to the use of very durable Dyneema and nylon ripstop fabrics for long-term performance. 2/5
The Nigor Zero G is superb in terms of weight and its durable functional design, but it lacks some features and is very pricy. 3.8/5

How to Make Good Fries
Posted March 09, 2006 at 08:20:37 AM by Bean in the Recipes category
So, the last few times I've made french fries, I've tried something different. This is a blog about it.
In Amsterdam, they had great fries. Come to find out, it's because they cook them differently. They fry them twice. GENIUS! It's called par cooking. First, they fry the tater strips in oil on fairly low heat - so as to cook the insides well, then they remove them, let them cool, and then fry them birches again in scorching hot oil to brown and crisp them. While resulting in an extraordinary french fry experience, this obviously has the downside of being very high in fat. So I though: "There has to be a better way!"
So here's Bean's alternative par cooking instructions:
Cut up some taters and put them in a pot of water with several (1 per cup of water) chicken bullion cubes added (or just use broth) and turn your deep fryer on it's highest setting. Boil the strips until they are mostly cooked, but not yet to the "ready to make mashed potatoes" stage and then remove and drain them. Let them cool and dry a bit (they will cook a little more after you remove them). After about 5 minutes, put em in the fryer - but stand back - they may pop and spit a lot if there's much water left on them. Fry them for, oh, I dunno, 3-4 minutes - or until they are dark golden and crispy. Remove them and put them on a plate covered with paper towels. Make sure to salt them before they drain completely so the salt sticks good.
They aren't quite at the level of the true par cooked fries, but they are mighty tasty, and lower in fat. The hot oil helps to sear the already cooked strips so that less fat gets absorbed into the meat of fry. Next time, I may try adding different things to the water during the boil - the possibilities are endless! (Franks, Tabasco, beef bullion, herbs and garlic, etc.) Give it a shot, and report back with your findings.

Sounds BANG!
May try tonight!
bigD (March 09, 2006 at 09:56:14 AM):
Updated: planning to try tonight.
rustychu (March 09, 2006 at 01:39:16 PM):
We did something similar to this when I worked at a hotdog stand. We called it blanching though. We'd slice the potatoes, drop them in the fryer for a few minutes, then put them on a rack. Then whenever we needed more fries, we just dropped them back in until they were done. This way we were able to keep a ready supply of fries available without them turning black from being left out.
bigD (March 09, 2006 at 08:10:40 PM):
Just finiched eating a big batch of beanfries. One word:
No better than regular fries. Possibly worse because there's siginficantly more work and cleanup.
In summary: do not try this at home.
bean (March 10, 2006 at 08:35:51 AM):
hey fuch you.
they are better because they are better for you. what happened to your whole eating mo betta healthy?
Also, you probably did it wrong.
bigD (March 10, 2006 at 08:38:51 AM):
I don't see how they are better for you than regular FF?
I may have done it wrong, I conseed to that. I think I boiled them too long, as they were near or at mashed potato stage after boiling.
And my fryer doesn't go above 400, which still took more than 3-4 minutes to get them golden brown.
bean (March 10, 2006 at 08:48:03 AM):
The first time I did it, I overcooked them in the water - and they fell apart and just tasted like baked potatos. Second time, I made sure they were still stiff enough to stick together. My fryer goes to 450 (I think), and 3-4 minutes was enough to make them hella crispy.
As for why they are mo betta for you, RTEB (read the effinf blog), yo.
I am going to make them again tonight, with beef bullion and some garlic. Will report back.
bean (March 10, 2006 at 08:48:39 AM):
Another option, which would increase crispiness but reduce healthiness, would be to lightly bread them in some kentucky colonel seasoned flour.
bigD (March 10, 2006 at 08:22:29 PM):
the whole business is to work intense for french fries. they taste so good regular style.
I'm skeptical at best as to beanfries healthierness.
corbin (March 13, 2006 at 11:00:33 AM):
i just bake them on a baking stone and they're crispy. also, i put old bay seasoning on them, mmm mmm bitch!
bean (March 13, 2006 at 11:20:12 AM):
Funny you mention that, as that's where the original recipe for these fries came from. If you boil them first, then put em in the over with lots of seasonings and a little pam spray, you can get some fat-free goodness ote of the deal.
corbin (March 13, 2006 at 12:39:52 PM):
will give that a shot beaner

A/N: Well, here it is. the final chapter of Part One of the Fire Strike Saga. But dont worry my faithful readers, this is a SAGA, so you can expect many more adventures from Uiru and his friends in the near future. i am going to take a little time away from this universe to work on my Kim Possible and Harry Potter fics, but you can expect the next installment of Fire Strike to beginbefore Christmas. I cant abandon my baby now can I? I do apologize for the shortness of this chapter, but it can not be helped if I want to keep my plot hidden at least a little bit. A sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of my reviewers, who made this worthwhile. My Inbox and MSN Messenger are open to all of you.
To Chaos Blazer: You sir are most defientely a great ida boad. Some of the things that we talked about through our e-mails have truly made this story interesting, and the sequels will have many a devious plot twistnow.Thanks for all of the positive reviews and feedback.
To Arkai: You did not review often, but when you did it was full of enouragement. I canonly say thanks, and stay tuned.
To frna11: I am glad to be of help, and sorry you had to wait do long to read the story again. But hey, you can not help what part of the world you are from!
To ObsidianSpires: A reviewer that says that I did a good job with a ton of original characters is always a plus in my book. I hope to see your name again on my review boards, as you seem to enjoy the story so much. Thanks and be ready for more.
And Last but sure as hell not least, to Zaratan: Dude, seriously. What can I say? Midnight Messenger conversations, help with the interpersonal interactions of the characters, and the insight into how to be an evil scientist/author. You have been my most loyal reviewer, whether it be a simple good job over a MSN window, or a review, or help with the characters, I could always count on you. For those of you that do not know, he is also my beta-reader for Kim Possible: Vengeance. I would trust no other author after I have read his stories, and I am honoured that he has accepted the role. And That's the Bottom Line, cause THE PALADIN said so.
Until the next time, or at least until you check out my other works (hint hint).
Peace and Out,
Pwn Master Paladin
Disclaimer: See Chapter One: Capture and Conflict
Chapter 16: ...And the Beginning of Another (aka the Epilouge)
The battle and the war now over, the PLM reclaimed its rightful place as the leaders of the nation. Small pockets of trainers, mainly Flame Force gaurds and soldiers that had escaped capture were still around, but the PLM had an answer to that. Fire Strike. The newest lead team of the PLM, many surrendered without a fight, wishing to spare themselves from defeat. After the last pocket of resistance had been squashed, the region was abale to reopen its borders to the rest of the nations of the world. It's closest neighbor, the land of Kanto, immediately offered the flag of friendship, and was welcomed with open arms. As a sign of respect for the acions of Fire Strike, the managment promoted Booster, Showers and Thunders to the level of general, and allowed Fire Strike to move into the abandoned mansion on the top of the mountain. Since Ivory Lake was now known to the world, some Pokémon Trainers started making the trek to the town. Many passed by the old abandoned mansion. Only now it was not so abandoned. With the members of Fire Strike there, it quickly became THE place to go and test your skills. Never offically sanctioned, the Gym badge that Uiru, the new head of Fire Strike,awarded had more merit in the circles of Pokemon trainers than all the others combined. As a final parting gift, Booster arranged for one of the most powerful, and quiet, helicopters of the army to be granted to Fire Strike permanetely. The first thing they did was paint Fire Strike on the side. After Nick, who had a near permanent slap mark on his face from the snide comments he always made, became a certified pilot, they flew to the now abandoned Flame Force base and helped themselves to the equipment there. They swiped the still large cache of evolution stones as well as the healing unit. Nick disassembled it and remade it into a unique model- with a few of his 'modifications'. When told about these 'modifications', Uiru said that the first Pokémon healed on it would be Nick's.
Every member of the team except Uiru had a full team of Pokemon, and with a new invention of Bill Technis, the master of all things technological in Kanto, had a personal system set up that allowed them to catch as many pokemon as they wanted and to switch them out with the press of a button. Some, such as Uiru, chose not to use the system, while others went out to "catch em' all". Uiru still didn't have his sixth Pokémon, but hey, he had all the time in the world to get it. The five evolution stones he had taken, he had enclosed in a glass case and mounted on the wall of the living room.
Matt and Geoff both had entirely different ideas on how to set up the Pokémon Gym upstairs. Eventually, with a little compromising and a lot of yelling, both were satisfied and they began revamping the training area. In a matter of days it was one, and they had their first customers the next day. They were all soundly destroyed, and the team soon became renowned for their battles. So far, Uiru has only given out his badge to one trainer, Ash Ketchum, a kid from Pallet town who had heard of the exploits of Fire Strike and wanted to see teh "liberation specialists" for himself. It had come down to the last pokemon for each, and with those pokemon being Uiru'sSandslashand Ash's Blaistoise, the outcome was inevitable. Soon, trainers came merely to watch the legendary Uiru and the infamous Allsion trash any contender that dared to approach them. They never ceased their arguing, and many times they devolved into a Pokemon battle, each attack and verbal assault building their friendship even more. Each trainer that wanted to was given permission to stay the night, free of charge, if they could beat Jessica in a battle. Pretty soon the account of Fire Strike Gym was exceptionally well off.
Allison talked Nick into building them a refridgerator. It took two and a half weeks, but with the amount of junk in the basement, Nick boasted he could build a rocket ship if he wanted. Erin told him to get them a phone that wasn't out of the Stone Age. There was still only one in the entire building. As much as it was an inconvieniance, no one really wanted to get another one, as it was a reminder of the night that Fire Stike had become complete, at least as far as human memebrs were concerned. Eventually, need gave way to nostalgia, but the old phone still sits there, ready to be used and always dust free.
Patrick and Matt were running the building of a helipad behind the mansion. Uiru told them to be careful where they put it- he and Jessica liked the view and didn't want the helipad to spoil it. Patrick eventually suggested building it on the side of the mansion. That would be fine. Soon, Fire Strike was able to recieve many visitors from other PLM units, such as the Rock Brigade and others. Often this went into stories of war time, and other times it went into a unit versus unit battle. One night, a writer came and asked for the tale of how they had all met and taken down the most oppresive group of extremists the area had seen. Uiru had merely smiled, and invited the man to watch the days pokemon battles. When he left, you could not tell whether he was amazed or afraid, but he spread the word. Eventually the mansion lost some of its popularity, but enough trainers came and stayed the night to keep it profitable.
Jessica ordered much more recent Pokémon textbooks, and instead of throwing out the old ones, had Uiru and Nick kick up some new bookshelves for them. In one of the Ghost manuals, they even had information on Bleak Eternal. It seemed the Eternal Night had succeeded in making the world aware of the terrible ability, and were now warning trainers of the dangers involved in using it.
A few weeks later, their Pokémon Center was opened. The Gym was a smash, and often trainers challenged all the memebers of Fire Strike multiple times, trying to find a weakness. None did.
Alex decided it was time to say farewell. "I'm going to defend my town," he said, "and help the other trainers there."
Uiru and Alex shook hands. "It's been great knowing you," Uiru told him. "With you in charge, I know Sapphire City's got nothing to worry about."
"Thanks, man. I'll see you guys later!" Nick offered to fly him there via chopper. Alex wasn't entirely sure it was the safest way to go, but it beat walking.
Booster, Showers and Thunders came up to visit and were impressed by what they saw. They suggested selling the evolution stones to trainers, as well as the leftover Softboiled rocks, in order to keep the money coming in for the equipment they needed. Seeing the sense of this, Uru immediately set it up, but kept a small cache of the stones and rocks for himself and the others. When asked why, he merely replied, "Because." After a few days of catching up, Booster, Thunders, and Showers decided to see how they had improved. They were all three trounced by Uiru, Matt, Allison, and Jessica. The others had been willing to help, but the four had insisted. After all, the adventure bgan with these guys and it was only fitting. The next day saw the departure of thier commanding officers.
"Oh, I almost forgot," Booster said as they were leaving. "This came in the mail for you."
"What is it?" Jessica asked.
"Oh my... This is from Sunder!" Uiru shouted. "He says he's escaped from prison and is really pissed off. He's assembled a group of mercenaries and has taken over some little town far from here, and wants to fight us!"
"That guy just won't quit!" Jessica replied. "I say we go and smash him flat."
"Here we go again!" Booster sighed. "A soldier's work is never done."

Meta Lab
This map named Meta Lab was designed by Nkenobi. It\'s listed for both Duel and powerduel. Bot route and custom textures are included. In the readme file, the author included a background
Show All
Show All
story into the map/lab. Like others have said, I also enjoy reading a storyline into maps.. gives more.. atmosphere lol. Anyway, the map itself is fairly small in size which would make a powerduel kinda cramped but workable. In my opinion, the map itself is nicely designed and textured. The designs used for effect really help this map stand out. while some may think the lighting is to dark, I think it helps with the feel and look of the map overall. This would be a cool little duel map to add to someones duel server. Nice work Nkenobi! -Lizardking

So I've been mulling about how I'm going to talk to you, dear reader, about the play Jerusalem. Because you should see it. But you should see it for reasons that involve what's between your ears and not what's between your legs. Of course, our tendency here at The Craptacular is to conflate the two motivations on a pretty much regular basis—because that's human, and frankly, a generally less boring way to see the world—and in this case, it's no different, but the former thing is more important than the latter.
I have no real desire, however, to go all Ben Brantley on you here. You can read his review—a complete crazy rave, which we knew beforehand because he was sitting two rows in front of us when we saw it—elsewhere. Plus, I can't write as well as he can, and he's writing for your grandparents anyway. For you, too. To be sure. But I'd like to give you some more specific perspective.
So let's get this out of the way, right off the bat: You should see this play because John Gallagher, Jr. is in it, and because you love him. Because he staggers across the stage for three hours, messy-haired and smoking pot, with his pants slipping off his hips, revealing the waistband of his American Eagle boxers, the word AMERICAN positioned, hilariously, right in the front. His English accent is a mess but his performance is just right. He plays Lee, a boy on the run from the culture that raised him. And he is not, by any stretch of the fangirl imagination, the star of this show.
Jerusalem is about that culture, and brace yourself, American, because this culture is not yours. Jerusalem is about England, about its literally storied past and modernized present, and about a guy who lives in the woods in a trailer. John Byron (Mark Rylance) spends most of his time drinking, doing drugs, and hanging out with the natty pack of teenagers who venture out to his trailer to party. They also come for the stories—and Byron tells lots. About giants, scrapes with the authorities, sexual escapades with The Spice Girls. He's a kind of over-the-hill rockstar to them, living outside the law and flouting the local authorities, who are trying to boot him and his trailer—and his chickens; there are live ones on the stage—off the land to make way for a housing development.
Are you catching the drift here? Byron is the last true rebel in England—a character culled straight from the over-the-top stories that Byron himself likes to tell. There's a lot more. The whole story is, no kidding, an allegory of St. George and the Dragon. And if literature makes your heart flutter the way that it does ours, you will find much to adore in Jerusalem—besides Lee's boxers.
But the show is made by Mark Rylance's performance. Somewhere between a limping Keith Richards and an ogre, Rylance hollers and swaggers across the stage, the undisputed king of all his mildly stoned, wayward subjects. And Byron's stories, no matter how fantastical, are so convincingly and grippingly told. As the show itself builds to its intense conclusion, the trick at hand is so simple, and so deftly played: beautiful words spoken by a master storyteller.
And of course, Jerusalem holds a lot of appeal for those of us who can see shades of ourselves up on the stage somewhere—the sloshed party girl intent on oblivion, the runaway hellbent on seeing what else is out there in the world, the prom queen with the overprotective big brother. And it shows us that even the most modernized, iPhone-clutching person can access something really old, and really simple–the power of his or her own story. And sure, maybe that's your grandmother's play—although she might be grossed out by parts of it—but it's undoubtedly yours, too.

MERIDEN, Conn. (WTNH)–The warning is out, and scammers are ready to take advantage of your holiday spirit and attempt to bilk you or your elderly relatives. It's the season for giving. Just make sure you know where your money is really going.
The lunch crowd at the senior citizen center in Meriden know all about how scam artists target them around this holiday season, because many of them have been targets in recent weeks.
Like 74-year-old Geraldine Fleming.
"They had called me and told me they wanted to get in touch with my granddaughter because she cashed a check from the IRS, which she never got a check. They said they were the IRS," Fleming said.
Trying to frighten seniors into sending money or giving a credit card number has become rampant. Adds Fleming, "They wanted her to send a check back to them but she never received a check, they told her that if they didn't receive the check that they were coming to get her to take her to jail."
There's also medical scams like the one they tried on 86-year-old Nick and 82-year-old Barbara Buonanni,
"He said the doctor ordered it, so then he says, 'What's your social security number?," Nick explained.
"So I said, 'Can I have your phone number?' He started to give me a number, so I looked on my caller ID, and it was a different number. I said, 'You know what?' This has got to be a scam."
Barbara, Nick and Geraldine were hit with two of the more prevalent scams that target senior citizens and this time of year. Impostor charities prey on the holiday spirit of giving.
Senator Dick Blumenthal, who has never lost his enthusiasm for consumer issues, is visiting senior centers, warning about the all these phone scams but especially the holiday impostor charities. "Ask for information in writing, ask them to give it to you in the mail so that you know what you are doing with your hard-earned dollars."

I'm stumped on a question; should I devote myself to a blog or Hubpages?
I already have a blog that receives about 25 visits per day, and my hubs as of today receive 10.
Any opinions will be appreciated.
me too
I fourth the vote,the agreeance, the amendment, the policy, the debate, the......wait.....did we form a quorum before deciding in this committee???? When was the pre-meeting, did I miss the meeting? DID I MISS OUT ON DONUTS ?????? ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH
What are you goals? Money, community, spreadng a message...?
I noticed that you have some contents on your hubs that appear to have been copied from your blog. HubPages requires original content, or you shouldn't expect any traffic from the search engines.
Indeed, you blog page rank will take a hit too.
Google assigned lower page rank to duplicate materials--a certain proportion is fine but a blog that only has reprints will never rank all that well.
I believe psycheskinner is trying to say that when Google finds duplicate content on different websites, one of them will receive a "ding" on their chances of being in search results. My blog, being the smaller and newer of the two, will get dinged.
That's right. Duplicates are not penalised as such, but they are often (not always) treated by Google as essentially non-existent and so will not build page rank like unique content will.
Not sure if thats particularly true, it takes a huge amount of copied content for google to nullify your Page Rank.
Um, no. It is true that HubPages expects and requires original content, but that's an internal mandate. I don't know what you meant by the statement you made about traffic.
In this particular case, I would bet that both the hub and the blog post will show up in Google. And since HubPages has more authority with Google, the hub will probably rank higher which most likely means more traffic. Eventually, one or the other will get dinged by Google for being duplicate content, but there's a good chance that the blog post gets dinged and not the hub.
I stand by my statement. I did a search on the duplicate text, and it was the blog that came up in the search engine, not the hub. Besides, the duplicate content filter may lead to the hub being penalized.
Feel free to stand by whatever you like. Just don't ask people to listen to it when it's wrong.
And penalized by who? HubPages' duplicate content filter has nothing at all to do with Google, Yahoo, Bing or any other search engine.
As for what site came up where, when I searched for the text without quotes, the blog came up #2 and the hub #3. When I searched with quotes, the hub came up first and the blog second.
Your original statement is false, and standing by it you continue to intentionally mislead.
As you can see, I was talking about HubPages, i.e traffic to the hub - how is that statement false?
I will go with HUBs. In case I compare it with Blogger (Blogs). . Hubs are are good as Blogger.
perhaps a google search for "duplicate content myth" is in order
penalties or more appropriately lack of indexing are created for single domains - ie - google doesnt want multiple occurrences of the same article (front page, archive page, tag page etc) to appear within the same search return.
I often wonder if anybody actually uses google? - dupe content is uber common with aggregation sites, news articles, entertainment, gossip , press releases ... also many of the sites are very authoritative with high PageRank and high SERPS (results ranking in the search engine results).
it has been stated on several occasions that sites with large amounts of duplicate content will be penalized, the penalty is usually most commonly noticed by the page rank dropping to N/A. (Had this happen to me personally, twice).
Page rank is calculated by inbound and outbound links, however Google can also place penalties which de-index your site and/or nullify page rank.
Misha and Thisisoli, you both seem to be experts in this field, yet you can hardly both be right on this issue. It is pretty confusing for non-experts to find out who is right. If the issue could be settled here and now, that would be very helpful.
Not really, we both agree that Pagerank is based on links. I think the difference is that I have been penalized by Google and seen both a PR4 and a PR 6 domain of mine get ground in to the dust as a result.
Well, then I understand it better. Still, I am surprised that these kinds of knowledge and experience are not commonly shared among experts in the field.
I have 3 sites that are the same topic. I got lazy and started to just copy each article to all three. After 6 months the other two that got the copies did not rank for hardly any phases at all anymore.
Now I'm making all articles different and slowly they are bouncing back. So dup content is bad. However I don't know why thousands of news sites can all have the same content yet be fine.
Getting back to the topic, Blog VS. Hub
I find that Hubpages' Hubs get indexed quite fast and a little backlinking can easily rank the hub. If you choose to promote the same article using your own domain name, you might need to exert more effort to get it ranked.
You really have to think hard about what you want to accomplish. If you want to get ranked quickly, using hubpages might be a better option because the search engine spiders are spidering Hubpages all the time.
The disadvantage is that you have less control over the lay-out of the page. If you're trying to funnel the traffic, you're better off using your own page because you'll have full control on how you lay out your page. Of course it'll probably take more effort to get that page ranked.
I would say both, I would have thought your HubPages traffic will easily outdo your blog but you can use the blog for valuable backlinks - that is what I do anyway
I often play the game of trying to get the same phrase to rank high in both hubpages and at least 2 or three blogs or websites. I write the blog, webstite content and hub on the same day. There is no duplicate content involved, and I really try to make them sound very different with varied writing styles.
There is no pattern to whether the hub or blog ranks higher after 1 month. Usually the hub is indexed within minutes, the blogs within hours, and the website within a day or two.
But from the second or third day it's anyone's guess as what the exact order of rankings will be or what will even be in the top 10. And those rankings change constantly.
It's the same thing for older content. I've had new hubs outrank PR4 webpages and then have the standing reverse after a few months.
After watching all this for 10 years, I just don't think that anything is that clear cut in the Google algo - and I think that is very much on purpose.
Personally I stay away from duplicate content, because I have had a few terrible and painful experiences. But that's just my perspective and if I was braver, I might be able to prove it wrong.
If you're serious about making money online, you need your own blogs, not Blogger blogs. There's no comparison about how they move in the SERPs. My own blogs beat a Blogger blog ever time out.
I agree Hubs beat a Blogger blogs.
I would write unique content on blogger and Hubpages, works for me.
I don't like to compare Hubpages and Blogger because they are different platforms, which I use in different ways.
I own my own domains, but to be honest I preffer writing for Hubpages, where other peoples content helps make yours stay fresh.
On my own blogs for instance I tend to think of most articles having a year lifespan. Some last longer, but most don't. On Hubpages when a Hub hits the six month mark it always starts to do better, and it keeps on pulling in more and more traffic.
funny this query came up. i just put together a strategy for "connecting the dots". I took a Hubbers advice about RSS/Twitter and wham-o, triple traffic. There are some interesting tools out there...

This week's three new releases, LONDON PARIS NEW YORK, PAAN SINGH TOMAR and WILL YOU MARRY ME? went the expected way and failed to achieve anything significant on the opening day. Just as we had predicted in our box-office report, the front runner was Ali Zafar's LONDON PARIS NEW YORK which opened to around 20 percent collections followed by PAAN SINGH TOMAR with 10-15 percent, while the third release, WILL YOU MARRY ME?, fared the worst.
As per early reports, the word of mouth for PAAN SINGH TOMAR is good and there are chances that this hard-hitting biopic may see a turnaround in its fortunes. As for Ali Zafar's LONDON PARIS NEW YORK, it has appealed to a small section of the multiplex frequenting audience at the 'A' centres, and the collections may well grow over the weekend. The Aditya Dutt directed WILL YOU MARRY ME? was dead on arrival and has little hopes of survival. Even the presence of stars like Rajeev Khandelwal and Shreyas Talpade too could not help the cause of this multi-starrer.

Good Morning, Quilters!
Notice how I avoid the words sewer and sewist?
Even when I write the tutorials, I avoid the word "sew" and use "stitch" instead.
I really don't like the word "sewer" –it looks like plumbing when it's written.
For a long time I hated the word "sewist"–it's just a made up word–not even in the dictionary! Furthermore, whenever you type "sewist" it auto-corrects to "sexist"….
Saturdays were a real dilemma…
Should it be "Drain Pipes in Fine Art"
"Ruining the Language in Fine Art"?
I settled for the clunky, "Seamstresses in Fine Art"…
I must admit I'm softening to the word "Sewist"…
Scissors have given way to rotary cutters, treadle machines to sewing computers, and quilters no longer create blankets made of old clothes…
New words like: emoji, selfie and vape (smoking an e-cigarette) have been Oxford's Words of the Year for the past three years.
Perhaps it's better to be "on trend" than a "fossil"!
What do YOU think?
We'd LOVE to hear!
Happy Stitching, Tailoring, Quilting, Sewing, Vaping, Texting…
PS…The Second Annual Machine Quilt-a-Long begins next week. If you are out shopping–just pick up 1/4 yard of solid fabric–in any shade of red, blue, turquoise…no more hints until next week!–other than it's going to be FABULOUS!!!!

Good Morning, Quilters!
As you know, I spent most of last week in Denver filming my second Craftsy video.
It's taken me a few days to wade through the piles of laundry and now I'm digging in to a long overdue project.
This birthday quilt is for my sister, Pat (Hi, Pat!) and was created by my Mom, sisters, Pat's daughters and a few sewing sisters.
I'm so excited to get started on it and give it the time it deserves!
My Mom always said, "When you don't know where to begin, just begin!"
It's amazing how often I say that to myself!
I am often subject to "paralysis by analysis"…I don't know what I want to do, so I don't do anything…
Most of the time, the best thing I can do is "just begin".
Begin quilting the stabilization lines.
Every quilt needs to be stabilized.
In this quilt, I began stabilizing around the borders (see Ann Petersen's Craftsy Class: Big Quilts, Small Machine, Better Results) Ann's theory is that the borders are the most important area to keep straight and that if your quilt is well basted, you can stabilize the borders first and ease the center. This is a very reasonable theory to me, so I'm giving it a whirl on this quilt. (PS…Ann also does a great job demonstrating how to spray baste a large quilt!)
Once I stabilized the entire quilt-borders and blocks– I stitched each basket.
To do this, I stitched very close to each of the handles and in the ditch of every triangle.
So far, this has taken 7-1/2 hours. I'm not in any rush—I am bonding with the quilt!
While I stitch all the stabilization, I am starting to get a feel for the fabric and the motifs and am thinking about possible ways to quilt it.
The ideas are flowing now….
More ideas than if I stared at the quilt for 7-1/2 hours! It's amazing!
Now that I have some ideas, I will trace the basket and make several copies of it in my sketchbook and doodle a few options…
What about YOU?
How do YOU bond with your quilts? Where do you start when you don't know where to start?
We'd LOVE to hear!

Have you ever attempted at mapping the mind—yours, in particular? No, we're not talking about MRIs or brain scans, or solving the mysteries of our mind's vast, vast capabilities and exploring how far our neurological functions can stretch out and go—or maybe just a little bit.
More often than not, we get glimpses of our very own genius (yes, our very own) with ideas and thoughts that are innovative, unique, creative, and sometimes, downright revolutionary. And as most wise people say, it's what you do with those ideas and thoughts that separate you from the average Joe or Jane.
Unfortunately, most of our ground breaking epiphanies eventually lay at the isolated recesses of our minds, completely forgotten as soon as the next distraction grabs our attention. Why? Simply because we don't take the time to take note of them.
A lot of writers, creative thinkers, and even theorists from varying fields will always tell you that it pays to have a pen and paper handy wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whenever, because you never really know when the next big idea will come—in our sleep, while having coffee with friends, in class, at home, while at the gym. There are a lot of what we will call 'notetakers,' who take this advice seriously, and have piles and piles of note pads, journals, and endless sheets of paper that contain a lot of important details and information—all of which in a confusing, useless heap.
Taking down notes doesn't stop with scribbling data down. Mapping your mind means writing your ideas, and also making sure that you can use the information afterward. There are far too many frustrations over forgetting what the notes actually mean, and lamentations over wasted energy, ink and paper. The notes then become an extension of the vortex where your brilliant ideas and concepts lie in obscurity.
How does one prevent this? One amazingly simple and effective note taking method is mind mapping http://mindgenius.com.au/mind-mapping-video-mind-map-starting-build-map/
Creating mind maps, is, primarily, mapping the mind into a tangible, comprehensive, organised, reviewable, and revisable format that you can use for pretty much everything in life: school, work, at home, and for any other project that you may be working on.
Want to find out how to make one? Click <insert how to mind map article link here> here to learn how to create mind maps.
<insert different examples of mind maps here>
Mind maps are also great not just for taking down notes of your ideas, but also presenting them. The highly visual and radial format of mind maps make it easy to absorb, and captures the attention of your audience more than a bunch of slides filled with words. And because mind maps take advantage of the brain's cortical skills, you won't be the only one remembering your presentation at work or at school.

A walk through time
Bukhara Travel Blog› entry 380 of 658 › view all entries
August 17th, 2008 – by: Deats
People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Julia (Russia), Louique, Vincent and Charlotte (France), Joss (Scotland), Deepak (England), Katie (New Zealand), Toby (England)
The Shark Express Train only took two and three quarters to reach Bukhara from Samarkand and as we were at the station, we decided to queue for onward tickets to Tashkent for the following nights train. Unfortunately all the tickets were already sold out, so we settled on tickets for the evening after that. Once we had got this out of the way, we hopped in a marshrutka, which took us on a 25 minute ride into town for only 400 Sum ($0.
Looking in the Lousy Planet, it became apparent that Bukhara was badly lacking in backpacker accommodation, so our only option appeared to be Mubinjon's Guest House. When we arrived, we met Louique, Vincent and Charlotte, three French travellers that we knew from Samarkand. They didn't look too impressed and told us that Mubinjon had been pretty rude to them. Having been in his company for a few seconds, it was apparent that the guy had a huge attitude problem. He was an aging scruffy man, who took no time to tell us that he disliked backpackers, especially Japanese and Koreans. He showed us around his grotty house and told us how backpackers had broken the shower and toilet, which obviously he couldn't be bothered to fix. He continued to moan about how tight Western backpackers were, as they grumbled about paying $10 a night without breakfast.
Walking away with the three French people, we began to ask in a few different hotels what deals they could do for us. Having five people who wanted to stay a combined total of 16 nights puts you in a much stronger bargaining position! In the end we chose Grand Noribek Hotel, where $10 per person got us a new, clean, en-suite room with breakfast included. Compared to Mubinjon's, this place should have cost at least three times the price and the French guys even had A/C in their room.
Having dropped our bags off, Julia and I went for a walk, to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine. Char Minar was the first place that we headed to, which is a gatehouse to an 1807 medressa, which has since been destroyed. The walk through narrow alleys to reach the site was enjoyable and i was surprised to see that we were the only people there. In the evening we went for a meal at Lyabi-Hauz Square and pond. The menu was very fairly priced, but we settled for salads, as we weren't too hungry, promising ourselves the King sized shashliks the following evening.
On Monday we ate a very good breakfast with Louique, Vincent and Charlotte, before heading out to see the sites of Central Asia's holiest City. Passing through Taqi-Sarrafon Bazaar we first came to Maghoki-Attar Mosque, which is the oldest surviving Mosque in Central Asia.
The next covered bazaar that we passed through was the Taqi-Telpak Furushon Bazaar, which led down to the Ulugbek Medressa. This Medressa is Central Asia's oldest, dating back to 1417 and looks fantastic in its unrestored state. Just over the road from this sits Abdul Aziz Khan Medressa, which was constructed in the 16th Century. This was another beautiful building, although sadly the Uzbek government have begun work on restoring it, when it looks fine just the way it is.
Walking East we entered the airy Taqi-Zargaron Bazaar, and exited at the majestic Mir-i-Arab Medressa, which i would argue is possibly the finest building in all of Central Asia.
The sun was incredibly hot and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so after a quick visit to the Hoja Zayniddin Mosque, we found a restaurant opposite The Ark to sit and have lunch in. Having ordered and waited for 15 minutes with a drink, the waiter came out to tell us that they were out of food, with the exception of shashlik.
Bolo-Hauz Mosque, which was built in 1718 was nearby, so we took a look at this before i climbed a Russian built water tower that offered 360 degree views. Down below was The Ark, Bukhara's oldest building, dating from the 5th Century. From what i could see, there didn't appear to be too much of interest within The Ark, so after nervously descending from the rusty tower, we decided to skip going inside.
A few hundred metres down the road we came to a contrast of old and new, as we walked around the 12th Century Chasma Ayub 'mausoleum', which has had some of its thunder stolen from it, by the swanky new memorial to Imam Ismail-al-Bukhari. Just to the West of this was the Ismail Samani Mausoleum, dating from the 9th Century.
Both of us were feeling thoroughly shattered by this point, but we decided to visit two last sites before calling it a day. The great thing about Bukhara is that everything is so close to each other, so it was only a five minute walk to Abdullah Khan and Modari Khan Medressa's, located over the road from each other. Wearily we trudged back to Lyabi-Hauz Square, where we sat and ate some shorpa by the pond. On the way back to the hotel, we bumped into Joss and arranged to go out for a drink in the evening.
At 19.30 we congregated around the pond with Joss, Louique, Vincent, Charlotte, Deepak, Katie and Toby, the latter three been friends of Joss'.
A hundred metres down the road, we went into another cafe where shashlik was only 1000 Sum ($0.75), their awesome samosas were 700 Sum ($0.50) and beer was a reasonable 1500 Sum ($1.10). The nine of us sat there eating, drinking and talking until it closed at midnight. The final bill was only $8 a head, which was good value for us and a profitable night for the owner. I was glad that the thieves by the pond had missed out on our business, but I'm sure they cleaned up from other unsuspecting suckers. Not wanting to call it a night, we bought another beer and sat in the street drinking and chatting away, before finally staggering home and falling fast asleep.
On Tuesday we didn't wake up until 11.00, so checked out straight away and went and ate a couple of samosas at the restaurant that we had been in the previous night. It was a sweltering day with temperatures above 40 degrees, so we decided to sit in an air conditioned internet cafe and then restaurant. We caught a minivan out to the train station at Kagan and took the 19.10 sleeper train back to Tashkent. On board, a group of Uzbek miners chatted away to us for some time, before i went to sleep at 23.30.

Executive Chef, Fork, High Street on Market, a.kitchen and a.bar
As the leader of three of Philadelphia's most celebrated and talked-about kitchens, Executive Chef Eli Kulp continues to raise the bar in a city filled with dynamic and influential young chefs. Chef Kulp currently leads the kitchens of Fork, High Street on Market and a.kitchen and a.bar at AKA Rittenhouse Square.
Adulation for Chef Kulp and his ingredient-driven, beautifully-balanced plates — at all four wildly popular restaurants — has been nothing short of glowing. Food & Wine named Chef Kulp a "Best New Chef, 2014", while Bon Appetit bestowed the title of "No. 2 Best New Restaurant in America" upon High Street on Market. These well-deserved mentions in two of the country's most prestigious food magazines, intertwined with a TV appearance on "CBS This Morning: Saturday," rounded out a memorable year for Chef Kulp, punctuated with The Philadelphia Inquirer's Craig LaBan naming him "Chef of the Year" in his 2013 "The Year in Bells" round-up. Chef Kulp was also recognized as one of StarChefs' "Rising Stars of 2013" and Eater.com selected him "Chef of the Year."
Since taking over at a.kitchen in early 2014, Chef Kulp has impressed at every turn and with every nuance. Philadelphia City Paper's Adam Erace proclaimed that "the menu is full of small plates with big flavors," and The Philadelphia Inquirer's LaBan rated a.kitchen "Three Bells: Excellent." At High Street on Market, which Chef Kulp and Fork owner Ellen Yin debuted next door to Fork in 2013, the accolades have been similarly spectacular. In his January 2014 review, LaBan called the restaurant "a parade of pleasant surprises," adding that "it in many ways sets a new Philly standard for what a casual breakfast-through-dinner concept can be…I'm digging in." Philadelphia Weekly called it "a must-visit for one of the most interesting, accomplished dinners in town," while Erace gushed that "paired with friendly, well-groomed service, [High Street] was one of my best meals of 2013…Yin and Kulp are a detail-obsessed duo that won't rest until High Street is the best restaurant in Philadelphia."
Chef Kulp first took Philadelphia by storm at Fork, where critics have been unabashed in their praise of his work. At Fork, The Inquirer's LaBan wrote that the restaurant is "one of Philly's best all-purpose, grown-up restaurants – but one now with genuine potential to someday reach even greater heights." Philadelphia magazine's Jason Sheehan called Fork "the best opening of 2013": "The combination of an interior makeover and the hiring of Chef Eli Kulp by veteran owner Ellen Yin has completely reinvigorated a restaurant that even before all the changes was pretty good. Now, it's one of the best in the city." And in 2014, Philadelphia magazine named Fork "Best Restaurant".
In late 2012, Chef Kulp departed Manhattan's venerable Torrisi Italian Specialties to helm the kitchen at Fork. Prior to his time as chef de cuisine at Torrisi, which is widely acknowledged as one of the most popular and successful locavore-driven restaurants in the country, Chef Kulp served as co-chef at Manhattan's renowned Casa Lever, where he helped create and serve the restaurant's classic Italian fare, which earned a two-star review from The New York Times. He has also worked as chef de cuisine at La Fonda del Sol, a seasonal, market-driven Spanish restaurant, and sous chef at Del Posto, one of the few restaurants in New York to receive a four-star review from the Times, the paper's highest ranking.
Chef Kulp, 36, grew up in Mossy Rock, Washington and graduated from the iconic Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park in New York. Yin & Kulp are partners in High Street Hospitality Group, a newly-formed business venture that manages several restaurants. You can follow Chef Kulp on Twitter (@EliKulp) and Instagram (@EliKulp).

{Summer} Sweet Progress Box Swap
I believe you all may remember me plugging the #SPBoxSwap, right? This summer Ashley and I joined forces to get bloggers swapping happy mail! We're excited about our Happy Mail alliance, because it doesn't stop at Summer, it goes on and on. Our next swap will be in the fall!! FALL IS MY FAVORITE. I'm super excited for the Fall #SPBoxSwap. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves, it's SUMMER and I was spoiled with summer happy mail. I ALWAYS enjoy happy mail, but when the days are tainted with hate it's nice to receive a fun, sweet, and kind surprise. My partner for the #SPBoxSwap was Ally. I was excited to learn more about my partner, before this swap I didn't know Ally, so it was nice to get to know someone new. Ally blogs over at Shybiker, she shares about her life and her style. I'm inspired by Ally's confidence, her positive outlook on being her true self, and doing it NOW , which makes me want to sucker punch all of my own fear in the face. 🙂
My #SPBoxSwap Goodies
One thing I noticed after visiting Ally's blog is that her and I both share a LOVE for polkadots. So, when a box with pink polkadots showed up I knew right away who it was from. 🙂 And then I pulled out these wonderfully wrapped boxes and ELVIS!!!
Before I show you what was inside those fancy boxes, let's talk about my beautiful & sweet card. 🙂 Ally sent me a card from her mermaid photo shoot that I think is absolutely gorgeous!! What's more summery than mermaids?!?!? I believe mermaids are always in season, am I right? I love mermaids. 🙂
Now let's get to the boxes. 🙂
All unwrapped:
You know I'm a mail lover, obviously, so, these snail mail goodies make my heart happy. I LOVE Papyrus Greeting Cards, thanks to Ally, I have a whole box of them! Who needs some snail mail? The Elvis stamps!!! Here's something I think I've never shared here: I use to collect stamps with I was little. It didn't last long, but I wish it would've. The common task of applying stamps to mail is a tough task for me. I usually debate if I should use my stamps or keep 'em. Like my Harry Potter Stamps or my Jimi Hendrix stamps. I ended up using all of the Harry Potter Stamps and I have only used one Jimi stamp. 😀 I still have all of my Elvis stamps, but I will proudly decorate mail with that handsome face. 🙂
These Jacobsen Salt Co. salts are perfection! I'm not sure if you read my Currently post I posted early this week, but I mentioned my "test kitchen". 😉 You can rest assured that these salts have been in serious use. 🙂 My family has sincerely enjoyed this gift just as much as I have.
This has to be the the prettiest salt display, right?
I'm eager to read my new book Face Value, it sounds interesting!
Per Amazon: A thought-provoking examination of how we think and talk about beauty today—and the unexpected and often positive ways that beauty shapes our lives.
For decades, we've discussed our insecurities in the face of idealized, retouched, impossibly perfect images. We've worried primping and preening are a distraction and a trap. But have we focused too much on beauty's negative influence?
In Face Value, journalist Autumn Whitefield-Madrano thoughtfully examines the relationship between appearance and science, social media, sex, friendship, language, and advertising to show how beauty actually affects us day to day. Through meticulous research and interviews with dozens of women across all walks of life, she reveals surprising findings, like that wearing makeup can actually relax you, that you can convince people you're better looking just by tweaking your personality, and the ways beauty can be a powerful tool of connection among women.
Seems like an intriguing read, right?
So, there you have it, my summer box swap. Thank you, Ally, for the sweet gifts!!
Again, if you missed the summer box swap don't worry, you can always sign up in the fall. 🙂
Summer #SPBoxSwap Reveals:
After seeing all those awesome reveals, do you want in? I don't want you to miss out on the swapping fun! If you would like a reminder email of when the next #SPBoxSwap fill out the form below and we will remind you about the Fall #SPBoxSwap. 🙂 Hope to see you in the fall! Thank you everyone who swapped with us this summer!! XO

New Installation
Should You Repair It or Replace It?
Repair It or Replace It?
How Will I Know When I Should "Repair It or Replace It?"
We have all faced these question at some point in our busy lives.
- How long does a heater and air conditioner last?
- What is the reasonable, useful life expectancy?
- Why replace it if it still runs, heats and cools?
- What regulations are going into place that will make it difficult to repair it again in the future if I just fix it now?
Answers to these questions may vary for each of us, so here are some guidelines that will help. Remember, you can always call Air Conditioning Services and we will be happy to assist you.
- Is your current system broken?
- Can it be fixed?
- What is the cost of repair?
- What is the life expectancy of the equipment?
- Does it make sense to consider replacement?
It may be time to replace your existing air conditioning system if it's operational and:
- You are using more energy than in past few years.
- Your unit runs all the time and can't keep the home comfortable.
- Your current air conditioner is more than 12 years old.
- Your heater is 25-20 years old.
- Your equipment needs expensive repairs every year.
- Your air conditioner is noisy.
- Some rooms in your home are too warm or too cold.
- Your home seems humid, which is caused by poor system operation or leakage of the air duct system.
- Your home gets dusty when you operate your air conditioner, which could also mean a problem with the air duct system and/or air filtration system.
How do I know what energy efficiency rating (SEER) is best for me?
Typically, the more energy-efficient a system is, the higher its initial cost. How quickly that cost can be recovered depends on many factors such as:
- The size of your home
- How much you use your system
- Shading
- Construction
- Location
- How long you plan to live in the home
And Energy Efficient Upgrades such as:
- Roofing
- Insulation (attic and wall)
- Windows (single to double pane)
- Design of your home
On your existing heating and air conditioning system.
There is no obligation.

Choosing the Right Central heating and cooling unit is essential that's why our Air Conditioning Services Representative is here to help!
There are many options for new central heating and air units. When the summer's heat and winter's cold is at its peak you will want a central heating air unit that will not only perform but will perform efficiently and reliably. Our certified ACS Representative will help you choose the best system for your home and your family needs. Here are a few quick tips to help you select the right model, size and energy-efficiency level.
Air Conditioner's Size and Efficiency
Size – The heating and cooling capacity of a central air conditioning system is measured by BTUH (British Thermal Units Per Hour). It is also measured by the term "tons" or "tonnage". One "ton" of cooling capacity is approximately 12,000 BTUH. Example a 2 "ton" central air conditioning is 24,000 BTUH or a 3 "ton" central air conditioning is 36,000 BTUH.
Efficiency – This is the manner in which a central air is rated based on energy usage. The level of cooling delivered per watt of electricity used. A central air is rated using "SEER", for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. Currently the lowest efficiency allowed is a 13 SEER. Midrange options are available at 14 SEER. And High efficiency units are 14.5 SEER and up.
Make sure your central air is properly sized
Having an air conditioner of the right size for your home is essential for achieving optimal efficiency and prolonging your unit's lifespan. Your new air conditioner should be properly sized based on the insulation, number of windows, direction that each window faces, air leaks, ductwork size, and shading from the exterior of the home and a number of other factors that we will discuss with you.
If a unit is oversized, it will draw more energy than necessary to cool your home. If a unit is undersized, it will not be able to cool your home effectively. In either situation, it is wasting energy, costing you money, and possibly damaging the internal parts of your AC system.
How to save money when purchasing a new air conditioner?
First, check with your local energy company to see if rebates are available and how much they are. This can vary greatly depending on the efficiency, generally the higher the efficiency the more money you will receive. Second most energy companies will offer a savings calculator to see what you can save on energy based on the SEER rating.
Check for tax credits and government programs that you may qualify for. Again the higher the efficiency the more money you may receive.
An ACS Representative will discuss with you manufactures rebates available at the time of your purchase.
Your ACS Representative will discuss your desire for a Zoned System.
Here are six common sense rules we teach our people that will make designing systems a breeze. When considering a zoned system you should follow these guidelines as much as possible when grouping rooms together to form a zone:
1) Don't consider combining different floors on the same zone. This is for the common sense reasons we are all aware of. Hot air rises and cold air sinks. It will be difficult to control the environment of one or the other if two or more floors are on the same zone.
2) Never zone rooms of different construction types in the same zone. As an example, a new addition should always have its own thermostat since it typically has better insulation than the rest of the home, and it will react differently than older sections of the home.
3) Never zone rooms that have perimeter wall areas with rooms that are entirely internal to the structure. Since they are not affected by the outside temperature changes. All internal rooms should be grouped together whenever possible.
4) All thermostats should be located in the room used the most in any area.
5) Never put rooms with conflicting solar or mechanically generated heat loads on the same zone. For example don't put an east facing room that receives a heavy morning sun load onto the same zone as a western facing room.
6) Always try to have a minimum of two registers for any one zone. This keeps the air flow more stable.
Of course we may not be able to accommodate all of these rules but this gives you some food for thought. Your ACS Representative will help you make the final decisions on your zoning needs.

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!
Here are some articles, blog posts, and stories from around the web that I found interesting…..
13 Best Ab Exercises You Can Do Standing Up – I'm a fan of ab work and more specifically core work! If you are looking for some exercises to add to your home routine this article from Greatist is a helpful read.
I'm a big fan of Brooks new ad campaign, Live The Way You Run. Run Happy. I think that how we feel when we run affects other areas of our lives more than many of us realize. This is a good post explaining what it means to them as a company to live the way you run. {insert heart emoji}
This comic from The Oatmeal cracks me up every time! At The Gym, Who Is Looking At Whom
Price Isn't Everything When It Comes To Running Shoes I really enjoyed this article. Most of what I do is part of an online world but it didn't start that way. I also believe nothing can or will replace face to face contact.
I love the specialty running stores that I live near and I can credit one of them to my start as a runner. While working in this specialty running store during college I met a guy who worked for Brooks, when he was moving on from the job, he came in to the store to let us know he was leaving because he thought one of us might be interested. I applied for that job. I was hired as an assistant to the guy who got the job BUT when he moved on from it, he reccommended me and I was hired! That job led to another job at Moving Comfort where I had the great fortune of working under both the the women who started the company. Their advice over the years was invaluable. Those jobs and other running related jobs lead to the creation of Mile Posts. All of the experiences that have happened over the past ten years, all started with a part time job at my local running specialty store!

There has been a lot of talk lately about cheating. It's been interesting seeing what people have to say on both sides of the spectrum. THIS article on a triathlon cheat is interesting. All this chatter reminded me of a post I wrote years ago after a man told me he cut part of the course at a marathon during a casual conversation.
