Garage Sales Part Two
Web posted on March 28, 2016
By Les Enekes
Now that I have found you, I expect to see a pricing structure. My favourite is having coloured stickers on everything with a corresponding price chart. That way it is easy to make any price changes as the day goes on. The standard price stickers you can buy are also good. Another good way is to sort your stuff by price. Then you set them up as a loonie table, a two dollar table and so on. Nice and easy. When I don't see prices, I assume that everything is one dollar. I don't want to have to waste my time asking for prices. More than likely I will just walk away, unless there is something I really want. I enjoy negotiating, but I need to know what your expectations are. Don't be lazy, price your stuff. Make your sale look as inviting as possible.
The other thing that bothers me is the people who think they can get Antiques Roadshow prices, or even the alleged prices shown on some those auction based TV unreality shows. Do you really think that you will get the price you see on eBay for a similar item? I don't think so. No dealer is going to pay those prices. They need to cover their costs and make a fair return. If you really think that your stuff is worth that much put it on eBay or contact a reputable auctioneer who runs real live auctions and take your chances. With a real auction you can be there and see what you get for your stuff. I will have my say about auctions in a future column. Most collectors tend to be on the thrifty side as well. Having said all that, you should know what your stuff might be worth, do your homework. Be reasonable with your expectations, and you will do well. The whole idea is to have nothing left by the end of the day. Your highest price should be first thing in the morning. Drop your prices as the day progresses. Some of the best garage sales are run by dealers who are highly motivated to get rid of excess stock. One of my favourite signs at a garage sale said something to the effect of "All prices negotiable, $50 gets you everything, will help load." On the other hand some of the worse ones are also run by dealers expecting retail prices.
Another thing to consider is the season. Stuff that people need for the cottage or the yard is far more desirable in the spring than at the end of the season. Christmas stuff is easier to get rid of at the end of the season. Just some food for thought.
If you are one of those people (there are several of you out there) who are trying to have more sales than the by-law allows, I might be the person who called the by-law enforcement people. We are only allowed three garage sales per year. If you want to be a dealer, set up at a flea market, rent space at an antique mall, or open your own store. Garage sales are for getting rid of stuff, not running a business. There is a big difference between motivated dealers who follow the rules and the rest of you.
Then there are the buyers. Be courteous, don't block the driveway, someone might need to load their brand new stuff. Obey the rules of the road and don't park in the wrong direction. Keying vehicles on Saturday mornings parked in the wrong direction should be made legal. Don't stop in the middle of the road. Check for oncoming traffic before opening your door. Keep your kids on a leash. Most dogs are better behaved.
Don't make ridiculous offers. Negotiating is one thing, trying to screw the seller is something else. I realize that negotiating in some cultures is expected. Everyone, be reasonable.
Yes, there are treasures to be found, but with all the TV shows out there, people tend to be more knowledgeable these days. To be honest, I have found many more great finds at auctions than at garage sales.
Early Birds. There is a special place in Hell reserved for you. Over the years I have seen some interesting signs for Early Birds. "Early Bird gets the Worm and the Finger." "Dog eats Early Birds for breakfast." "All prices double for Early Birds." My personal favourite was a plate full of worms, and the sign: "Early Bird Special." Get the message. You are as popular as politicians coming to the door.
I am not a dealer, but I have managed to flip a few items. I am somewhat of a collector, and I have a list of very specific items I am looking for. I also have to keep a certain Golden Retriever happy with all sort of stuffed toys.
Good luck to all and have a safe and fun season.

hosting cheap
web hosting cheap – cheap web hosting service – Free internet site names and cheap web hosting service packages abound! The fact remains, there are 1000s of companies that offer you free domains and cheap web hosting service deals. Luckily available for you, We have spent never ending hours carefully looking on the "best of the particular best" free websites and cheap web hosting service deals.
Free domains are the easy part regarding someone or company that really wants to launch an online site; you can both obtain one if not you don't. (We'll pinpoint the internet hosting suppliers that do offer free areas. )#) Cheap website hosting could be the real obstacle even though. Yes, cheap web hosting service is cost-effective and also favored, nevertheless, you ought to choose internet hosting company according to cost plus the sort of web hosting service services you will need.
For example, "shared hosting" is generally the lowest priced web hosting service package accessible as soon as your website will share web hosting service space on the server and also other internet sites. As a result of low monthly expense, shared hosting is great for personal internet web sites, and small companies. "Dedicated hosting" is higher priced, but only your internet site will reside making use of one specific web hosting service server, which is normally only essential for web hosting service internet websites together with really many friends or strange hosting support specifications, including video or perhaps MP3 based web sites. Internet hosting servers may also be differentiated from the kind of programming dialects accessible. Does your internet site require PHP hosting service or MySQL internet hosting? If that's the truth, you will must pay close consideration when choosing your internet site web hosting program package. If you are looking for web hosting service in your enterprise, make sure to be able to ask internet designer which development language your internet site needs.
Its also wise to look closely at the level regarding web space and also shift allowed. Net room can be like hard drive over a personal computer; there is a limit for the range of files you help save. Move, also referred to as bandwidth, may be how much details downloaded any time somebody appointments your site. This can be critical if the site gains a huge amount of friends or includes huge audio or video tutorials. Hosting providers will improve the fees should your internet site goes over the particular authorized web area or month-to-month exchange limits, just just like the charges for making use of extra minutes around the cellular phone.
A couple of suppositions prior to be able to we obtain for the top level three low-cost contains: I'll feel that you require the complete most economical web hosting accessible, based on expense, which you're A. K. using any "shared hosting" program. Keeping that at heart, let's move about the very best three no cost url of your internet site and cheap hosting deals.
#1 Free Internet site and Cheap Hosting Package
Host Massive. Host Monster has almost everything! They simply handle affordable hosting with a lot of web space (50GB) and a really large volume regarding month-to-month move (999 GB). The 24/7 tech assistance is an overall must for just about any internet hosting system and Host Huge has this also. All that apart, what truly sent Host Monster for the top level individuals Cheap Hosting list will be the $ 4. 95 month to month plan, one totally free website, and the ability to host unrestricted websites! That's right, Host Monster lets you host a limitless variety of sites only regarding $ 4. 95 month to month. Generally, Host Monster is the better value we've noticed for cheap internet hosting, hands down.
#2 Free Website and Cheap Web hosting service Package
Start Common sense. Respectable levels regarding space (50 GB) and also move (750 GB), however are slightly below Host Monster with $ 4. 95 each month. Start Logic furthermore features 24/7 tech assistance and may even toss in one free website, but only enables a whole of 10 sites per account. When you have seen, Start Logic and also Host Monster have become comparable, however the smart transfer could be the unrestricted domains and also exchange with Sponsor Monster to the same price. Truly, there isn't any reason to pick Start Logic.
#3 Free Url of one's website and Low-cost Internet hosting Package
1and1. Those are the lowest priced web hosting service in terms of monthly cost at only $ 2. 99/month, which is often huge cheap. In reality, it's the most inexpensive cost a calendar month I've seen on web hosting service. 1and1 also receives kudos for trustworthiness, customer satisfaction and being the greatest hosting provider on earth. An additional will be one free url of one's website is integrated, however the space for storing (5 GB) and also exchange (300 GB) will be the lowest with this list to get allows a full of 10 sites per account. 1and1 possesses some good features for example free writing a blog resources, an online site builder plus a photo gallery. In case you are new to internet hosting, or are firmly seeking to make a small web-site with out video or audio tracks and minor website visitors, this is an excellent starting point for, you should be tuned in to the storage area and move restrictions.
No cost domain names could be the easy part with an individual or organization that really wants to launch an online site; you can acquire one otherwise you never. (We'll focus on the net hosting companies offering free domain brands. )#) Cheap hosting service could be the genuine challenge even though. Yes, cheap internet hosting is cost-effective and also desired, nevertheless, you must decide your hosting company depending about cost and the sort of website hosting services you will need.
By way regarding example, "shared hosting" is normally the lowest costed hosting package accessible as soon as your web-site will share hosting space on a server and also other internet sites. As a result of low monthly expense, web hosting services shared is good for private web web sites, and smaller organizations. "Dedicated hosting" is higher priced, but only your internet site will reside using a definite internet hosting server, which is usually only needed for web hosting program sites with extremely more and more visitors or unconventional hosting support requirements, including video or perhaps MP3 based web sites. Internet hosting servers can be classified with the sort of programming languages offered. Does your web site require PHP web hosting service or MySQL web hosting service? If so, you will need to pay attention when choosing your internet site website hosting package deal. If you're searching for internet hosting to your business, make sure you ask your online developer which advancement language your internet site requires.
It's also advisable to look closely at the volume regarding web room and also move allowed. Web room is similar to hard drive more than a computer; there exists any limit for the range of files it can save you. Exchange, also called bandwidth, will be the degree of data downloaded when someone appointments your internet site. This is critical in the event the web-site benefits a significant number of readers or includes huge audio or movies. Website hosting suppliers will jack the fees if your internet site goes over the particular allowed web room or monthly exchange limits, just like the charges for putting into action extra minutes around the cell phone.
Several assumptions just before we need to the top three cheap contains: I'm going to think that you will be considering absolutely the lowest priced website hosting accessible, determined by expense, which you're A. K. which features a "shared hosting" program. Keeping that at heart, let's proceed for the top three free website and cheap web hosting service packages.

Easter Sunday the luck of the good bunny had me hopping that warm evening (by car) up to Evanston, IL (or "Evanstone," as José put it in his precious Argentine-Scandinavian accent) to an elegant and intimate loft-like back room called SPACE, perfectly cramped with candle-lit tables illuminating dark corners—the coziness of which graciously befitted the mellow and urgent sounds of José Gonzaléz's "rock band" Junip, or, say, an episode of a moody show like "Felicity," wherein the two attractive characters in a love-torn, back-and-forth finally kiss.
That's about the best way I can describe the feeling of seeing this charming and understated—but definitely not boring or downer—Swedish band carefully and intentionally build their delicate songs that often start out subtly and solid, then crescendo to much more passionate and fierce place, almost coming undone (or coming together)—sort of like a seismic shift of secret emotion. Junip doesn't overwhelm or stay far away, they come join you in the moment.
Sure there's melody, sure there's an awesome guy playing the bongos(?)/recorder(!) and feeling it, sure there's tons of José's coyness, sincerity and humor leading those sweet vocals, but it's much more than the sum of these elements that makes Junip sing. The best way to grasp this feeling is to watch a glimpse for yourself above or check out these tour dates and experience Junip's charisma take a hold of your needy soul face-to-face.

This listing has expired.
I hit 2 months until my wedding and decided the dress I purchased didn't fit "my vision." In my panic and with my fiance's blessing, I bought NINE MORE!!! They're knock-offs from online, so this is NOT an actual Rime Arodaky (they didn't have this designer listed in the drop down, so it's not a Rivini either), but is remarkably similar to Rime Arodaky and beautiful none-the-less. Material: Chiffon & Lace
Pictures – the first is the designer version. The second one is me in the actual dress I'm selling. Keep in mind this is unaltered, so doesn't fit me that well, and will be much better on you when you have it altered to fit your body.
Seeing as I had 10 dresses to choose from, I have 9 extras that I don't need and it's not worth the shipping price to return them. This was purchased new, is unaltered and, aside from me trying it on once in my bedroom, has not been worn. I've taken $50 off the price I paid because I just need to recoup some of the money I spent.
Terms Of Sale: All Sales Final
Location: Santa Rosa, CA, United States
Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense

Snapshot: This 70L chilly bin has a drainhole, secure clasps and a flat top. How well does it keep its cool?
Unlock all of Consumer from just $12 a month
Overall score is based on performance.
We tested chilly bins in our refrigeration lab. Packed full with ice and bottles, we left them in a temperature-controlled room set at 32°C. We recorded how long it took the contents to reach 2°C (by which time all the ice had melted), then how long it took the temperature to rise to 8°C (the safe temperature for chilled food).
Chilly bins that score 80% are our top performers. Bigger models will keep contents chilled on one load of ice for several days, while smaller models should manage a couple of days and nights on a weekend camp. Those scoring 70% aren't quite as good: bigger ones will get you through the weekend on a single load of ice, but smaller ones might not manage more than a long hot day in the sun or an overnight camp.
07 Dec 2015, Jeff S.
Product use: 6 months or more
It is sturdy, well insulated and has a base that does not slip around. Just right for snapper and kingfish. Perfect size for a decent catch.
It does get heavier when you load it with fish!
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Are timeshare upgrades a scam? The topic for this week's discussion is if timeshare upgrades are a scam. Should you consider upgrading your timeshare membership so if you have any usage issues they can be resolved. Many timeshare members are seeing that their timeshare membership level is actually making it very hard for them to truly enjoy their membership, which is why many of the timeshare members are considering canceling their timeshare; unfortunately these timeshare members are often scammed by fraudulent timeshare cancellation companies.
Are timeshare upgrades a scam?
Timeshare Members Can't Use their Timeshare – It has to be a Scam
If you are reading complaints on internet websites based around timeshares, then you are probably seeing some timeshare members saying they are unable to use their timeshare. If these complaints are true, then the majority of these cases are based upon timeshare members who have purchased a low level timeshare membership, which only allows them to make reservations with the most popular and sought out units that are in demand, which makes them harder to reserve.
First time buyers are open to cancellation scams
Timeshare members are often advised to reserve their vacations two years in advance to secure the exact dates and types of units that they want. You are, therefore, at a disadvantage when you first buy your timeshare membership, because many other timeshare members have already booked their vacation on popular and sought out dates that are in the same unit type that you have. This is why many timeshare members believe that they have purchased a timeshare scam, and these members will go to timeshare cancellation scammers to try to cancel their timeshare membership instead of talking over their concerns and problems with the actual timeshare company. During this time is when the timeshare cancellation scammers will take advantage of timeshare members.
What is the best solution?
What should you do? What is the best solution when you have purchased a genuine timeshare from a vacation club that is reputable? You should first inquire about a timeshare membership upgrade with your timeshare company. Doing this will allow you to access many different options such as different locations and a wider range of units. You should make sure that you are buying an upgrade and not another timeshare membership that you will have to pay for along with your current timeshare membership. You should never believe that a timeshare company that is the competitor will buy your current timeshare membership, so you can upgrade your current one. If you do this, then you will be obligated in paying for both memberships and maintenance fees for the timeshares.
Banking your time from one year to the next
If you don't want to upgrade your timeshare, then one solution is that you can bank your timeshare for years in advance and when you have earned enough points you can select the unit or suite that you prefer and want. This is an option that many timeshare companies offer. You can also reserve a week that is not booked, then use the Interval International or RCI exchange network for other vacation dates that you want or prefer. Another option is renting out your timeshare week too.
Timeshare Membership Success
To have timeshare membership success and avoid a timeshare scam, you should look at your timeshare as an investment that will continue to grow in your favor. When you are a timeshare member with a genuine timeshare company, then you have the option of upgrading your timeshare membership if you have the finances to do so. This is the key to having timeshare membership success.

So, this is a book that I got and I love very much, Tuesdays at the Castle. And it is about a little girl named Celie, she is a princess who lives in a very magical castle. It is a magical castle because it changes and has a new room every Tuesday. It also helps Celie, like if she is in trouble, the castle will cave the walls in and take her into a different room.
She has a brother and a sister who are prince and princess too. Their father and mother have gone away because they also have another brother who went to college and is graduating, and the kids can't go. So then while the mom and dad are gone, there was a big war. The father and mother were assumed to be dead. But Celie and the sister and brother said, "No, they're not…they just ran away." So a lot of people went to look out for them. One of their friends did, too. And their friend came back and said, "They're still alive," because he asked the wizards that the brother went to college with. Meanwhile, a prince named Khelsh, who wanted to be king, came from another land, and he was a very, very mean prince.
So it's basically about people trying to look for a king and queen and see if they are dead or not.
My favorite thing was at the end, when Celie has a very favorite stuffed lion that she got when she was a baby. The part that I like about it is that at the end, the lion got changed into a griffin and took Khelsh away and ate him.
I like it because it's a very happy story and has a lot of fantasy, and I like it because I like reading fantasies. I would recommend it to other kids because it's a very good book. I think all kids would like it. I would rate it an 8 (on a scale from 1-10).
MOM'S PERSPECTIVE: Camille read a few of these chapters aloud to me, and my first impression was that this is a book I would have enjoyed as a girl. The morphing castle is fantastical and imaginative, a clever idea. The characters are empowered and strong, especially the main character, Celie, who is not a subdued princess such as the Disney style. I also liked the fact that there are multiple plot points going on at once, which is great for developing readers. There are some slightly scary bits (talk of assassination, etc.), so you may want to monitor if you have a sensitive child.

|Wed, 28 Oct: From one service facility to another...
After two days in Lake Havasu City today we were back on the road, this time eastbound to our next service appointment.

We have this inspection and service performed in Tolleson if on the west coast or at the Freightliner Factory Service Center in Gaffney (South Carolina) if on the east coast.
Since we spent the nite in 3Ts parking area we wanted to get an early start so we'd be out of their way when the coaches started arriving for service. Bob rolled wheels about a quarter to eight, relocating the coach to the street where we hooked up the car. After completing our checklists we got underway a minute or two before eight and joined the morning traffic heading south on AZ 95.
After getting every red lite in Lake Havasu City we finally left town and headed south thru Parker toward Vicksburg and Interstate 10. We switched drivers at Vicksburg (Bob let Sandi drive so he wouldn't have to deal with Vicksburg's traffic circle). East on I 10 into the west "burbs' of Phoenix (Tolleson) arriving at the Freightliner customer parking area a quarter before noon.
Once we got Carpe parked, levelled, and plugged in we headed to Costco for a food court pizza fix and some shopping. We're now back at the coach till we get "evicted" at 0700 tomorrow morning when they take 'er in for service. If all goes well they'll finish up everything tomorrow and we'll head back to Casa Grande Friday after the morning rush is finished.
Today's run was 183 miles with an overall fuel economy of 7⅓ mpg.

- Make your necklace work for you: A long strand that hits below your bust makes you look taller and leaner.
- Not sure how to wear your bracelets? Bangle up: A stack of skinny bangles can do the trick.
- It's okay to add an oversized watch as one bold accessory.
- A ring should always flatter your fingers. Wide rings for thin, long fingers, narrow bands or ring styles that extend toward the knuckles for short fingers.
- Consider the shape of your face when shopping for earrings: Pendants for a round or square face. Studs, buttons, or short drop earrings for an oval face. Choose hoops when you are not sure.
- Try wearing one big piece of accessory at a time. One that people will remember. One wide cuff bracelet is a great example.

As fireworks exploded over the harbor and the garish 20-foot neon sign visible from every balcony on our side of the hotel blinked its congratulations to the newly-married couple, I marveled at the sheer outrageousness and frivolity of it all.
This was a few months back. My wife and I had embarked upon an impromptu overnight getaway – without the kids – to a large resort/spa nearby. We did not know at the time that there would be a wedding there.
At the check-in counter the young clerk whispered confidentially, "Rumor has it the bride's father spent a million dollars on this wedding."
En route to my room I saw the guest chairs being set up on the grass. White, simple, tasteful.
Then I saw the pony.
Bedecked in flowers, hooked to a carriage, it looked out of place. But not as much as what was to follow.
Shortly after we settled on our hotel balcony to unwind and soak in the midday sun, the strains of the small cluster of musicians reached our ears and we enjoyed a clear view of the ceremony unfolding below.
The pony, it turns out, was there to pull the carriage containing the infant flower girl. Its handler guided it quietly down the aisle.
Then I heard the rotors.
Looking up, I saw a helicopter approach, temporarily drowning out the music.
It passed by close to the ceremony then disappeared from view.
Then reappeared, heading the other way.
It did this back-and-forth several times, each time filling the air with noise.
We soon realized that it was taking pictures of the event. "You know," my wife mused – during a brief respite when the helicopter had vanished and we could hear each other once again without shouting – "I could take pictures of it from up here and they would be just as good."
Of course, it was not about how good the pictures would turn out.
At some point, between the subsequent boat party and the private fireworks show later that evening, I realized that it was all about the show.
Common sense dictates that business ventures veer in the opposite direction. Each company dollar must be spent in anticipation of some sort of return, either in the short or long term.
Unfortunately, at some level waste creeps in. One area in which I have seen this occur sadly is in SAP form development. And the problems are not always technical ones.
Some examples:
A company with which I am familiar had purchasing forms that went through several revisions, primarily because the requirements kept changing based on input from key vendors. After several months and countless revisions these forms still are not in Production.
Another company had varying standards for their partner-facing forms, depending on the department and SAP module. A few months before go-live, the Corporate Communications Department became actively involved, at which time most forms required substantial rework to bring them into alignment and compliance.
A third company, which I met at the recent SAP TechEd '05 conference in Boston, told me of their frustrating experience developing a SAPscript check form. Apparently, at the last minute they learned that the bank's acceptable check format had changed, including overall dimensions, and they had to delay implementation until the issue was resolved.
At an Adobe Enterprise Developer event last week, a fourth company shared with me its frustration over various last-minute boilerplate changes dictated by their legal department.
In each of the above cases, delays and headaches resulted from input by parties not directly involved in the forms development process, yet definitely stakeholders in the final result. Most likely, from each of their perspectives, the requested changes were both reasonable and critical, and thus non-negotiable.
And yet negotiation is exactly what was needed here.
One of the first steps in a successful form development project is to identify all relevant parties whose approval is needed. As the above examples illustrate, they can either be within or outside the organization.
A follow-on step is to contact each of them and agree upon the following ground rules as to their input:
1) An established single point of contact — with clear authority to represent the entire party's interest.
2) A set timeline — including a cut-off date after which any further input will be rejected (but subject to consideration for a subsequent phase after go-live).
3) A list of acceptable formats — which can vary based on the nature of the input to be provided (for instance, in the case of legal changes, only a time and date-stamped electronic document with red-lined changes from the prior version can be submitted; this ensures the quality of the final product while also avoiding rework).
Obviously, there are times when exceptions need to be granted. However, by setting clear and decisive ground rules early, we convey the importance of the project and of the critical roles that each participant will play.
When it comes to your business, don't let your party's rotors drown out the rest of the festivities.
There are much more important things to spend money on.
This is part 8 of a series of Weblogs on SAP output forms.

RFS waiver and the future role of biofuels

text: The schedule for raising electricity prices will be ready by end-May. On Tuesday, May 21, the Cabinet presented its energy strategy in front of the parliamentary groups of the National Novement Simeon II (NMSII) and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), but the MPs refused to approve the rates of the projected price increases till 2004 - two 15-percent hikes and one 10-percent hikes. Tensions went high when the Energy Minister Milko Kovachev informed about the calculations and analyses, made by his experts, according which electricity prices should go up 20% this year. Otherwise, the companies in the sector are threated by decapitalization. This was flatly rejected by MRF's representatives who left the meeting earlier. Thus, following the battles with the IMF Mission, the Government's economic team will have to hold negotiations with the parliamentary majority.The final agreements will be reached next week, most probably when discussing the Cabinet's energy strategy at a plenary session. Till then the budget allocations for the package of social energy measures will be specified. The Government relies on financing from the World Bank as well for the purpose.Meanwhile, the price policiy in power engineering divided experts in the branch in two conflicting parties. Representatives of one of them claim that there are sufficient reserves along the production - transportation - distribution chain, which could reduce electricity prices. Their opponents accept most of the arguments, but interpret them reversely, warning that successive technical and technological collapses await us if there is no hike.The main discussion is how far a how the economic dispatching will be introduced, under which the power stations generating the cheapest electricity would be included as a priority in Bulgaria's energy system? Economic dispatching is of major importance for the management of energy flows in the national systems of all countries with developed market economies. The former government and the incumbent Cabinet have been also proclaiming it as such, but its real implementation is nevertheless being delayed. The Kozlodoui N-plant for example, whose production had been the cheapest so far, sold only 19 billion kWh of electricity to NEC in 2001, while its generation capacity is some 24-25 billion kWh.It is an indisputable fact that all Bulgarian power stations were paid off years ago and do not have credit or other financial liabilities. This automatically eliminates one of the components in price formation and should result in a reduction of the final price, upholders of cheap electricity underline. For their opponents, however, the outdated technical and technological equipment of the power engineering companies is one of the reasons, necessitating the price rise of electricity.

Australia launched itself into the semi finals of the Women's World Cup overnight.
It was done on the back of runs, yet again, from Ellyse Perry.
The all-rounder has been in tremendous form with the bat, scoring her fifth consecutive 50 and taking two wickets in Australia's win over South Africa.
It's the latest good knock in a big run of form for the 26-year-old.
Ever since her move into the top six in August 2013, Perry has absolutely starred with the bat.
In 32 innings, Perry has scored an incredible 22 half-centuries.
That's a 68.75% conversion rate - no one else has managed over 50% over the same period.
She's notched up 1,755 runs at a whopping average of 87.75 in that time.
Only two batters have tallied more runs: Aussie skipper Meg Lanning (2,010) and New Zealand's Suzie Bates (1,925), both of whom have played more matches and averaged less.
Add a lazy 43 wickets in that time and it's pretty reasonable form!

To add insult to injury my cell was disconnected on 8th of jan for non payment of bill. When I went to the said store to ask them to restore my service as i had deposited my bill with them they said they are helpless as they cannot do the same.Incharge of the said store nmaely Ahtisham was rude in indecent while talking to me. To save myself from further embarassment i deposited the amount of Rs 400 again against my two numbers and only then my service was restored. When i asked for the recipt against my previous payment they denied the same outrightly. Hope the said forum will take care of the complaint.

Buffalo Bills fans probably would have preferred to see Sammy Watkins in bubble wrap sitting in a suite on Thursday night.
In a second trade, the Bills sent cornerback Ronald Darby to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for wide receiver Jordan Matthews and a third round pick next year.
Bills have acquired CB E.J. Gaines and Rams 2018 second round pick for WR Sammy Watkins and Bills 2018 sixth round pick.
Watkins (6-1, 211) was once considered the prized receiver of the 2014 National Football League draft, which turned out to be loaded at the position.
The moves were made day after Buffalo opened its preseason with a 17-10 loss to Minnesota. Entering his fourth season, the former Vanderbilt wideout has 225 receptions for 2,673 yards and 19 touchdowns under his belt. It now gives them not only a go-to receiver, but also a player who can make plays down the field and draw the defense.
The Bills declined to pick up Watkin's fifth-year option on his contract back in May, so his future with the organization was already in question. Watkins can be that type of dynamic threat when healthy.
If he did so, then new GM Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott would look to extend Watkins during this season, or perhaps prior to his hitting the market in 2018.
He will hope to revive his career in LA with the Rams, who needed to improve the supporting cast around under-pressure second-year quarterback Jared Goff.
While Matthews won't necessarily replace Watkins in terms of role, he'll replace him in terms of production. Last season, Watkins played in just eight games and totaled 430 yards and two scores on 28 catches.
The Rams were dead last in yards and scoring last season.

With TanqBay Marketing we built quality affordable WordPress websites. We can built these websites by taking your custom PSD files and building the website or we can customize a theme to fit your needs. If you would like to learn more about this please visit tanqbaymarketing.com.
Another thing that we do at TanqBay Marketing is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Now we will be the first to say that SEO is as much a science as it is an art form. Everyone knows that you have to have the basics (keywords, site title, robot file, xml file, Google Analytics, etc.) however there is a lot of debate as to the specifics of each one of these. This is where the art form comes into play by constantly adjusting each one of these to fit your business needs and to stay ahead of your competition. There are several techniques that we have used over the years to gain significant traction for our clients in their local markets.
When it comes to marketing your business we have a couple of options.
The first option is that we will work side by side with you to help your business grow online. We will talk about different marketing ideas that can be done, give you recommendations, and also implement these if needed. One example that we can give you in regards to this is we worked with a company that owned a local MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Gym in Colorado. We worked with the business owner day in and day out to make sure his marketing was going the right direction. As a result this MMA Gym owner ended up achieving a #1 ranking on Google for the MMA Gyms in the whole state of Colorado! We are very proud of this because not only did we do a great job for this client but we gained a friend.
The second option that we can do for marketing your website is a little different. What we will do is come in and basically take over your marketing plan for your business online. We will run your marketing for your business online as if we owned the business. This one takes a little more trust between you and us however the rewards a very beneficial.
We did this for a client and this client gave us the task of making his business grow without spending any money on media buys, PPC, PPV, etc. So this was going to be a little challenging. We launched this site in April and started to drive traffic to his site through social media, forums, etc. Within 30 days of launching the site he had over 5 digits in gross sales and within 12 months he did over 7 digits in gross sales.
The examples above are obviously unique and not typical because your results will depend on how much time you are willing to work on your business, how much will you market your business offline, how good of a business owner are you, are you taking everything out of your business or trying to help it grow, are you reinvesting in your technologies, are you reinvesting in your business, etc. We can help your online business grow however a lot will depend on you.
If you would like to see the websites that we have built in the past or see what we can do for you when it comes to marketing, please feel free to visit tanqbaymarketing.com

I am so confused.
I am so upset.
I've been away this weekend, playing sport in the north of England. I went with my mum; she always enjoys watching me play sport, which is really sweet actually. I can't emphasise enough how great the weekend was: we played well, I saw lots of old friends, and had time to really enjoy myself. I'm not sure I've laughed that much before in one weekend — and honestly, that's just what I needed.
But now, this: my paretns are splitting up.
I went to bed around 9:30pm last night, just as my dad got in from work; I was so tired after the weekend, and I have an exam this morning. By 10pm, my parents' conversation had turned into an heated discussion, and by 10:30, they were shouting. My sister was in tears, I was too tired to even comprehend what the hell was going on, and I just wanted to sleep.
1:30am, they're still shouting, and now my sister and I both know what's going on. Our paretns are splitting up. Our dad is moving out.
Now I'm not going to lie: my parents' relationship has never been the most stable in the world, but I just sort of thought it was all a combination of my mum being tired (she works in the care industry, which is quite tiring), my dad being tired (he works two jobs), and frankly, the strain of having a disabled child — me. they've talked about splitting up before, almost using it as a threat, but in my heart, I always knew it was just that — a threat.
This time, though, my heart isn't convinced: this is not a threat. This is actually happening. Even now, at 6am on Monday morning, they're talking about the money, and when my dad is going to move out. this is not a threat.
As I said, the relationship between my parents has always been strained, and in one way, it's a relief to know that the arguing — the non-stop arguing — will, finally, stop. But I didn't want it like this: I don't want two homes. I don't want to split holidays, or spend my weekends and weekdays in different places.
I don't want my dad to leave.
Is it my fault? Maybe I was right — maybe, the strain of a disabled child was just too much for my parents. Maybe, after 15-and-a-half years, something has finally snapped: the strain was too much. My mum or my dad would never say that that was the case, but truly, who's going to say that to their child? Just because they don't say it, doesn't mean it's not true.
Sorry for the confused, illogical post; i'm just so confused and upset right now, and I'm crying, and I just want this to stop, but I can't make it stop.

Viably Using Influencer Marketing as a Sales Strategy
Influencer marketing can be defined as the kind of marketing that basically targets those with influence power in the society other than the market at large. The marketing operations and plans are designed to take into account the needs of the influential persons rather than the market at large. Influential marketing majorly holds onto the people with influence as viable persons in the making of sales.
The influence that a person has on others could come from different origins and forms whereby some may influence others because of the social status they hold while others will influence because of the groups that they relate with. Celebrities and top ranking designers may be used in influencer marketing so as to reach too create the influence in their fans and followers. When a celebrity or a notable person uses a certain product, the maker of the products gains a leeway to sell more and more of the products.
Internet bloggers are also ideal for influence marketing since they also have large following on internet physical platforms. The advantage of using influencer marketing is that the company or organization is able to avoid criticisms from different groups of people in the society.
News For This Month: Businesses
Since the company only focuses on the interests and wants of the influencer and not the customer, the marketing strategy is ideal for any kind of business. It is necessary that companies and businesses give the influencer a positive image of the product so that he or she can comfortably advocate for the product while using it.
Looking On The Bright Side of Marketing
Any kind of company can use influencer marketing for as long as they communicate with the influencers and agree on the terms and conditions. The power and intensity with which influence marketing can bring positive results in your company is equally the same for both small and large companies. The impact on young people influencer marketing has is largely immense since most of them look up to celebrities and designers to know how to live their lives.
Finding and contacting the people with influence in your society or region will be a milestone ahead for you in realizing your influencer marketing success. Cordial and warm relationships with the influencers will go a long way in ensuring that your brand keeps gaining popularity and acceptance in the society. People buy or rather will buy from you after seeing how your influence marketer looks like or appears after using your product hence necessary that you customize and make the products to his or her preference. Social media and networking sites really have a lot of influence hence even when using influencers, it is necessary that you do not forget these sites. The power and influence that has been found to lie on influence marketing can surely not be ignored.

John-Paul Clifton, QA Tester, The Wiper
The player navigates The Wiper (the player-controlled character) across the face of a building cleaning windows while avoiding hazards.
The Wiper can be moved by pressing the directional pad in one of four directions. Since The Wiper has no weapons, the player must avoid hazards. The Wiper can clean a dirty window by pressing the wipe button. Windows have three stages of dirt, for each stage the player must press the wipe button one more time (stage 1 is one press, stage 2 is two and stage 3 is three). The window must be fully cleaned before moving on, if the player moves on the dirt level will continue from previous state.
Screen Information:
A) This indicates how many extra lives the player has, the player starts with three extra lives. An extra life can be gained for every 10,000 points earned, up to a maximum of four.
B) This is the player's total points. Points are given to the player for each window cleaned (see C.).
C) There are three levels of dirty windows. The first (one line) is worth 100 points, the second (three lines) is worth 300 points, and the third (five lines) is worth 500 points. The dirt level grows from the first to the second to the third in 3 second intervals. A new dirty window will appear once every 2 seconds. If the player is able to clear all windows on the screen they will receive a 5,000 point bonus. The 5,000 point bonus can be gained again once more than 3 windows have become dirty.
D) This is The Wiper (the two different frames are shown). The players character animates between these two images when cleaning a window. These two images simulate The Wiper wiping the window clean.
E) These three objects (a bird, a paper airplane, and a bowling ball) are the hazards The Wiper must avoid these objects while navigating across the face of the building. Each hazard enters the screen from a different direction, the bird enters from the left and travels to the right, the bowling ball enters from the top and drops to the bottom, while the paper airplane enters from the right and travels to the left.

Raffi was "forced" to make his way to Cabo San Lucas to spend 4 days entertaining the great people of Barracuda Networks!
Festivities started the moment we got on the plane. A small sound system and a lot of great music was making its way through the cabin of the plane.
This set the table for our arrival into Cabo around midnight, where we greeted by a 10 piece Mariachi band at the Marabella Suites.
After the hour of their great sounds – I jumped on and took us through the night until about 4:00am busting out the tunes. All of us were back out on the sand staring at the ocean, sitting by a pool and listening to some cool grooves. From the sounds of the Thievery Corporation, Bob Marley, Sonora Carruseles(Salsa), Gocho Feat. Jowell (Merengue) during the day and The Black Eyed Peas, Cameo, Sean Paul, Taio Cruz and some pretty dang cool remixes for the late night dance parties!
The event was first class and couldn't have asked for a better time. We left Cabo on Sunday where it was 75 degrees to come to a brisk 48 degrees. To quote the band Soul To Soul – "Back To Life, Back To Reality"
We did work with some amazing vendor down there:
Del Cabo Event Design – Theresa Hempel – So fun to work with and very easy going! Great energy!
Oxten – Victor Valdez – All the sound, lighting, lounge furniture and fireworks show. These guys were on top of it. First class!
Lazy Gourmet Catering – Great food and fantastic service! Flexible when they needed to be.

This high-density (many visitors on a relatively small surface area) resort is only recommended if more interesting places are full. The accomodation stacks are 4 floors high, making the hotel look less like a beach resort than a housing estate.
The cheaper room types are too small, featuring minuscule balconies and suffering from the usual problems of over-densely packed resort buildings : there are not enough windows and so not enough light coming in. Particularly unlucky visitors will get one of the ground floor rooms, which are the most gloomy. The better room types get more light and are larger and more agreeable, but are still not recommended, as the high-rise nature of the resort is not attractive – visitors who can afford the better room types are recommended to stay elsewhere.

Entropy in Economics
Original by Chris Hillman (Last modified by Chris Hillman 2 Feb 2001.)
One of the first applications of Shannon's concept of information to economics was a famous paper by Kelley, who was able to show that mutual information can be interpreted in a certain gambling model as measuring the expected rate of financial loss by the gambler. Since then, many other applications have been made.
From Efficiency to Flexibility: Entropic Measures of Market Complexity and Production Flexibility
by Robert B. Johnston. "This paper analyzes a simple model of a choosy customer and a flexible producer and shows how the terms market complexity, production flexibility, and customer focus can be given precise definitions using information theory."

Listera auriculata Wieg.
Auricled Twayblade
Click to enlarge
Basis for Listing
Although many orchids of the genus Listera are familiar and widespread, L. auriculata is poorly known and has a very limited distribution. It is rarely encountered and, until recently, little was known about its distribution and habitat requirements. The species is very rare in Minnesota, prompting its listing as a state endangered species in 1996. Its persistence is precarious because there are so few populations and most populations have few individuals. Habitat destruction related to high water levels and vegetation succession, either by human alteration or by natural processes, is a potential threat.
Listera auriculata produces a flowering stem 10-20 cm (4-8 in.) high with small distinctive flowers that necessitate a close examination for positive identification. Flowers are pale green with 3 sepals and 3 petals. The lower petal is modified into a broad lip that is dilated near the summit. The lip is cleft 1/4 to 1/3 its length and auricled at the base. There is a single pair of opposite, ovate, sessile leaves. Two other species of Listera occur in the state. One of these, L. cordata, is similar but the lip is not dilated above. Listera convallarioides is also similar and does have a dilated lip, but the base in not auricled.
In the Great Lakes region, L. auriculata is reported to colonize sites near the mouths of streams, above the normal high-water line, either in sand under Alnus spp. (alders) or on mossy banks under forest trees (Case 1964). In Minnesota, it is characteristically found along streams or pond margins in low, moist hardwood forests, mixed hardwood-coniferous forest, and shrub swamps. It is also found on the bedrock and gravel shores of Lake Superior. These are typically shady, mossy, acidic habitats on alluvial deposits or on shallow, organic soil. The collection record indicates L. auriculata most often occurs in rather small, transient colonies. Most populations recorded in Minnesota have only a few individuals; only occasionally is a large population found (Smith 1993).
Biology / Life History
Listera auriculata is a short-lived perennial that reproduces entirely by seed. Seeds are dispersed by gravity, and over short distances by wind. Flowers are pollinated by small flying insects. This species is believed to be mychorrhizal, but the specific fungal host is not known. Observations suggest that within a population, the numbers of plants and the number of plants in flower can vary greatly from year to year.
Conservation / Management
Because so little is known about L. auriculata in Minnesota, threats to its survival are difficult to evaluate. Populations need to be monitored long-term to provide better tracking and life history information. Many populations are quite small and vulnerable and seem to be linked to natural ecosystem processes such as seasonal flooding and vegetation succession, although the nature of the link is not clear. It is clear that certain habitat parameters must be maintained, particularly the natural hydrologic regime, and tree canopy structure. These parameters could be compromised by canopy removal or grading activities within the immediate watershed.
Conservation Efforts in Minnesota
Most sites supporting L. auriculata are in public ownership, which raises possibilities for conservation actions, although no specific actions have been taken to date. One population is in a state Scientific and Natural Area.

What is wrong with you people?
Sometimes it seems to me like this is the motto of the dog trainer. Whether it's using shock collars, not using shock collars, using food, not using food, using clickers, not using clickers — whatever it is — there's a reason to be angry. And of course that means there's a reason to be sharply critical, maybe even abusive, toward other people. After all people should know better shouldn't they?
When it comes to dogs we advocate compassion. We advocate the use of positive reinforcement to get the behavior that we want. We advocate the use of the most gentle possible method we can find in order to help dogs to choose the behavior we want and to stop displaying the behaviors we don't.
Humans, it seems, don't deserve this benefit of the doubt. If you have a bunch of "dog people" as friends on Facebook go take a look at your news feed. What do you see? People are stupid. People are animal abusers. People shouldn't be allowed to have dogs. People deserve to be left at the pound. And of course that perennial favorite: "The more I see of people the more I like dogs."
Don't get me wrong I've been guilty of this kind of negativity myself. Many people are aware of this blog only because I've been very very critical of Cesar Milan. But I've made an honest effort to turn over a new leaf and have always believed that if you are going to criticize one thing, offer an alternative.
This post is about my alternative.
Helping dogs and people live happily together is my passion. I started out with my goal being to help dogs, but over time I realized that I can't do a good job if I am not willing to help humans too. I also, oddly enough, started to like people the more I helped them with their dogs. (People who have known me for a long time still find this change in my attitude a bit surprising.) Rescuers, walkers, shelter workers, and dog trainers, enter this field because of their love of dogs. But it's my belief that the people that are truly successful and truly help dogs either start out wanting to work with humans too or over time learn to appreciate them and the importance of working with and respecting them in order to be successful.
One of the most fundamental tools in a so-called "positive trainers "toolbox is DRI. As I've explained in the space before, DRI is replacing an undesired behavior with a desirable one. Why on earth would somebody who fancies themselves a skillful trainer forgo an opportunity to help somebody learn something new by, well, teaching them something new?
One answer of course is that nothing brings people together and nothing fires up a crowd better than a common enemy. That common enemy might be a famous TV trainer, the trainer across town, or even just an unfortunate dog owner doesn't really know what she's doing. And when one surrounds oneself only with people that share your beliefs, whether they be colleagues or fans, it's really easy to find enemies to single out. (That would be everyone else.)
I'm not the first person to say that dogs are easy and people are hard. It's easy to assume that people should know better. After all, it's what many people assume about dogs, right? It's easy to say we're supposed to be the smart species while we make fun of "clueless trainers" and "stupid dog owners." It's hard to get them to do the right thing. That's when our work becomes real work.
I am a dog trainer, but I'm not just responsible for dogs – I am responsible for both ends of the leash. If I can't reach a person in order to change their behavior or even just to help them get along better with their dog, I have failed. Snarky blog posts and Facebook pontificating doesn't fix it.

Reader response: Medical retirement from sport after concussions: A practical guide for a difficult discussion
Citation Manager Formats
I read with interest the Davis-Hayes et al.1 suggested algorithm to help guide medical retirement from sport discussion after an athlete has a single or multiple sports-related concussions (SRC). The authors are to be lauded for attempting to standardize this decision-making process. The decision to medically disqualify and retire a professional athlete from his or her chosen sport is not to be made lightly for it threatens the livelihood of not just the athlete but the entire family. Both the physician and the athlete have to make tough decisions about the athlete's future brain health in the absence of any validated biofluid (blood, CSF) or imaging biomarker for concussion and late-life neuropsychiatric sequelae of brain injury such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, dementia pugilistica, chronic postconcussion syndrome, chronic neurocognitive impairment, posttraumatic dementia, posttraumatic cognitive impairment, posttraumatic parkinsonism, and persistent posttraumatic headaches. One size does not fit all. Risk stratification is the process of identifying the individual athlete's risk of the abovementioned late-life neuropsychiatric sequelae of brain injury after careful review of history and other clinical and imaging tests. Some professional athletes may warrant medical disqualification or denial of licensure (if combat sports) and others may be medically cleared to return to sport under supervision. Finally, the authors use the term "immediate epilepsy" interchangeably with "impact seizures." This should be avoided since impact seizures differ in their pathophysiology and prognosis from immediate epilepsy/early posttraumatic epilepsy. It would also be helpful to the readers if the authors define how they differentiate "impact seizures" from "concussive convulsions" (including fencing and other tonic postures).

As spring arrives and warmer weather comes, the time will come to give the crockpot a rest. Not that you have to, I just tend to. And the grill will make its debut, which is so nice! However, putting the crockpot to bed makes me a bit sad....I really love chili. I'm kind of obsessed with it!
So, I thought I'd share one of my favorite crockpot soup recipes. It's also a pretty healthy soup recipe.
Corn and Sausage Chowder
1 lb turkey or pork sausage, casings removed/browned OR tube sausage, cut into 1" pieces
1 can creamed corn
1 can cream of mushroom or celery soup
2 c frozen carrots or can use fresh
1-2c frozen corn
3c frozen shredded hash browns
salt and pepper to taste
add water to desired consistency
Cook on low 6-8 hours.
I didn't have any hash browns on hand, so I used some frozen diced potatoes I had in the freezer. I also used some frozen sweet corn I had on hand from last summer. Yum!

Are You Living in Sync with Your Values?
To truly live a Step It Up™ life a person needs to be in alignment with their values. Only when a person is living and making decisions from a place of honoring their values will they experience true fulfillment.
Fulfillment in life is related to how well you are living in alignment with your values. Values are not morals or principles. They are the essence of who you are—not who you think you should be. For instance, money is not a value, whereas the things that money might buy, such as free time, risk-taking, and being of service are values. When you're aligned with your values, you feel inner harmony, your choices are more easily made, and your actions are in accord with your true self. Take this quiz to see how well you are living in sync with your values.
- I have spent time clarifying my values and can easily articulate them.
- My values are my own. I have not simply adopted them from parents, teachers or other outside influences.
- I based my choice of occupation on my deepest values.
- My values are in alignment with the company I work for (or own).
- My business associates and I regularly examine how we are living up to our values and mission.
- I turn down money-making or status-building opportunities when they conflict with my values.
- In resolving disputes at work, I look beneath the apparent problem to see if values are being dishonored, and then I seek ways to honor them.
- Anyone looking at my life from the outside would see what I value.
- I use my values as a guidepost for making decisions. I ask if a particular choice would bring me closer to—or further from—a core value.
- When I feel upset, it's almost always because my values are being trampled—either by me, someone else, or the situation.
- I am not easily swayed by others' opinions when they conflict with my values.
- To remain open and flexible, I am willing to re-examine my values to determine whether something is still true for me.
- I find creative ways to honor all of my values—even when they conflict with one another.
- My work values are in harmony with my personal and relationship values.
- When I live according to my values, I feel satisfied and successful throughout my life.
If you answered false more often than true, you may wish to clarify your deepest values and bring your life into greater alignment with them. Please don't hesitate to contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like support in doing this.
Stepping It Up™ to be in sync with your values is all about Stepping It Up™ to live a happy, complete life.

NWR Alarms
When there is an alarm on NWR, the following 4-step procedure is followed:
- A digital burst of information is broadcast. This digital burst, called Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME), contains information on the type of message, the area affected (usually by county), and the expiration time of the message. The Maximum message expiration time allowed is 6 hours after the alert.
- The SAME burst is followed by a 10-second broadcast of the 1050 Hertz warning alarm tone.
- The voice message is broadcast, describing the hazard, the area affected (usually by county), and the valid time period of the hazard. Other details, such as storm movement, storm spotter reports, damage reports, and specific locations of greatest danger may be included. NOTES about expiration time in SAME vs. valid time period in voice message:
- For short-fuse hazards, such as a tornado warning, the valid time period is from the broadcast time of the alert until the SAME message expiration time.
- For longer-fuse hazards, such as a winter storm warning, the beginning of the valid time period may not be the same as the alerting broadcast time and the end of the valid time period may not be the same as the SAME message expiration time. In such cases, updated messages are broadcast on or before the SAME message expiration time to provide fresh information. Updated messages will be alerted only for new warning information.
- Many NOAA Weather Radio receiver models can be set to a muted "standby" or "alert" mode, and will turn on when the alerting message is received. Depending on the receiver brand and model, the receiver will either be activated by the SAME code or the 1050 Hertz warning alarm tone. Upon activation, some receiver models may have a flashing light or other visual attention signal. In any case, the 10-second 1050 Hertz warning alarm tone serves as an audible attention signal.
- For receiver models activated by the 1050 Hertz tone, the receiver will activate whenever the tone is received.
- For SAME-decoding receivers,the owner programs the county SAME codes for the county or counties he (she) wishes to be alerted for, thereby eliminating unwanted alerts for counties in the coverage area that are not of concern to the listener.
B: MESSAGES ALARMED CLICK HERE for procedures on weekly alarm tests.
Only the most imminent life- and property-threatening hazards are broadcasted with the SAME signal and 1050 Hertz warning alarm tone, where the public has to take immediate action to protect themselves and their property. An operational guideline is that messages are alerted only for hazards urgent enough to warrant waking people up in the "middle of the night" or otherwise interrupting someone's activities at any time. The operational use of the SAME signal and 1050 Hertz warning alarm tone is at the discretion of WFOs, situationally-dependent and coordinated with each state's Emergency Alert System (EAS) Plan.
