Breathing Space Yoga Studio required a new site that could facilitate new independent Yoga Studio Franchises within the framework of the new site. The previous site had been built using standalone PHP files and a custom CMS. We built a brand-new Drupal 7 site using views, a custom map, and custom templates for various areas of the site. It features a blog, social media integration, and an clAA events calendar, among other things.
Why Drupal was Chosen
Breathing Space Yoga Studio had been using a homegrown CMS with limited functionality for many years, The main reason for Drupal was for its content types and views, which are used extensively on this site. The project requirements called for many different sorts of pages and content items. Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): Breathing Space Yoga Studio had a site consisting of standalone PHP files, but the organization had grown and was in need of a more robust yet easy to use CMS. The goal was to streamline web publishing workflows while revamping the site with a completely new design.
Project Goals
- Client needs to be able to edit as much of the site on their own as possible.
- Site will auto-archive programs, events, and workshops.
- Site structure needs to be flexible enough to allow for long-term growth and change, as well as adding features on short notice, for example for upcoming events.
- Since this site is for a franchises, it would benefit greatly from using photos. The client wants these to be auto-formatted so they can just upload a photo, and it will get cropped to the right proportions / size automatically without needing Photoshop.
- Franchisees will get their own page on the site.
- Administratrors will also get their own page.
- 4 different Programs, each with their own customized page.
- Blog.
- Events calendar and schedule.
- Graphic slideshow headers throughout the site, which the client can easily change.
All of the above goals were achieved. Drupal 7 - in particular its granular content types and fields, Views, and Taxonomy - made all of this a breeze, and allowed us to easily customize page configurations as we gathered more feedback from the client.
By leveraging Drupal 7's native fields and content types, we were able to meet these requirements in a flexible way, so that we could build on that framework later by adding more fields or views as needed. We work with Joomla (2.5 and 3) as well as WordPress, have used Concrete5, and have read about the charms of Django, but out of all these we have found Drupal offers the most robust and flexible feature set (a.k.a. framework) while also shipping with an easy to use administrative interface. It was very important to our client that they be able to edit almost everything themselves, and that the site could grow with their needs. Drupal has served them well in this regard.
Project development ran from October 2011-July 2012, with an extensive initial conceptual design process that accounted for all of the client's existing content while mapping out a new Drupal site structure. Actual Drupal development lasted from February-May 2012 , with training, final content migration, and final design and functionality adjustments taking place during June and July 2012.

In Q4 of 2018 EFAMRO conducted a new wave of the EFAMRO Moodindicator. Research agencies, that are members of their national trade association, were asked about the business outlook from the perspective of both their own organisation and their domestic market. In this wave, respondents from 13 European countries participated. The sample base and response rates are relatively small in some countries and the questions differ slightly (as a result of historic benchmarking). However, the results give a good indicator of the development of the European research industry, particularly when comparing the results to the results of the previous waves. The results from Bulgaria are not included in the report, as the results were based upon two completed surveys. The smallest samples used in the report include 7 respondents (business managers) per country. The overall base for the results is 287 (due to the exclusion of Bulgaria's two responses).
Managers unprecedentedly optimistic regarding their own businesses It seems a never-ending nice story after the 2008 crisis: optimism of business managers is continuing and on an even higher level than in the preceding waves of the EFAMRO Moodindicator. Again, in most of the countries the majority of the business owners are optimistic regarding the revenue of their agency in the year ahead (see Table 1). The average level of optimism is slightly higher than in the previous wave, Q1/Q2 2018. Regarding the growth of revenue for their own agencies, business managers are extremely positive in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Russia, Norway. and the Netherlands.
Research businesses in Switzerland, Spain, Italy and the UK are less optimistic compared to other countries in this wave. In Switzerland the quite negative sentiment continued during 2018.
In several countries the sentiment has somewhat changed since the last wave in early 2018. In Spain and Italy in particular the sentiment has declined.
In many other European countries the sentiment seems to have improved during 2018: in Germany, Portugal, Ireland and Russia for example. The lack of optimism of the German business owners in the Q1/Q2 wave has not continued and may have been as a result of domestic political considerations (due to the German election in mid-2018) as the confidence is back to the 2017 level. In Q1/Q2 2018 the optimism in Portugal was also at a rather low level, from an historic trend perspective. Now the sentiment is back at the same level as 2017. In the UK the sentiment has slightly improved since early this year. This is quite surprising given the uncertainty related to Brexit, and it is possible that this may have subsequently weakened following very recent increased uncertainty. In the Nordics growth expectations and optimism of businesses are at an all-time high (in the 5 years of the Moodindicator) or very close to it.
Table 2 details the results of the EFAMRO Moodincator since 2013, expressed in 'net positive' (meaning 'percentage respondents expecting an increase -/- percentage expecting a decrease').
Expectations regarding the national markets in 2019: no optimism in most of the countries
Although the managers in most countries have become more positive about the outlook of their own businesses during 2018, they are less optimistic about the development of their market compared to early 2018 (see Table 3).
In most of the countries the managers do not expect any market growth in the next 12 months; Russia, the Netherland, Spain and Sweden are exceptions to this trend.
As noticed in previous waves business managers in most of the countries are often more optimistic about the development of their own organisations than about the development of the whole industry in their countries.
The differences between the expectations regarding the businesses of the managers and the expectations for the industry are enormous in this wave. Are the business managers naturally inclined to be more optimistic regarding the market affecting their businesses or are they underestimating the performance of their competitors?
In the Nordics business managers are extremely optimistic regarding the growth of their own businesses, but rather neutral regarding the market expectations. To a lesser extent that is also the case in Germany (see Table 3).
In Russia and Spain the expectations of business managers regarding their own business are in line with their market expectations. Overall however the domestic market expectations of the business managers are worsening (see Table 4). For the first time in many years, business managers in many countries do not expect any growth on the domestic market. This is quite a change compared to early 2018.
In previous reports we suggested that for some countries expectations regarding the national market tended to lag behind sentiment regarding the revenue of respondents' agencies. Let's hope that will be shown in the next wave of the EFAMRO Moodindicator again. Just looking at the market expectations there cannot be much reason for euphoria.

The Bears' simultaneous search for a new general manager and a new coach will continue Friday in Seattle when the team is to meet with Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports. On Saturday, the Bears will be in Denver for a meeting with Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase.
Less than a week after finishing a 5-11 season and firing both general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman, the Bears are progressing through the early stages of their search process with Chairman George McCaskey, President Ted Phillips and newly hired consultant Ernie Accorsi.
On the GM front, a league source confirmed Thursday that Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta, an initial target of the Bears, would be staying in Baltimore. DeCosta declined opportunities to interview for either the Bears or Jets GM openings.

With the opening of the Lantos Tunnel this week at the notorious Devil's Slide on state Route 1, the work is not finished. The winding, vertiginous old road and the 70 acres of land it sits on will be handed over to San Mateo County, which has pledged to give it a makeover and splice it into the California Coastal Trail, adding a new attraction to the Devil's Slide Coast. The facilities will include parking lots at each end, water, bathrooms, trash bins, rails and pedestrian crossings.
Hikers and bicyclists will be thrilled with the high views up and down the coast. They may feel a tickle as they look at the surf hundreds of feet below. And some of them will feel curiosity as they look inland at the sides of the road, about 1.3 miles of it, that they could never stop and see before.
This stretch of road passes through two very different sets of rocks. The south end is the granite of Montara Mountain; I showed you some of this at Quarry Park in El Granada, a bit farther south, in 2011. It holds up the rugged headlands around the tunnel's mouth. It dates from Cretaceous time, just like the granite in the Sierra Nevadaand in fact it's the same stuff, ripped out of the range and pulled northward here by the San Andreas fault. The same granite is found as far north as Bodega Head and south to San Luis Obispo County (including Pinnacles and Fremont Peak, part of a sliver of tectonic plate that geologists know as the Salinian block.
The north end is a thick pile of mudstone that dates from Paleocene time, slightly younger than the granite. This is the material that gave Devil's Slide its name. It's been falling into the sea for untold centuries, including the last century in which we have been vainly putting roads across the cliffs.
The San Mateo County geologic map describes it as marine shale and sandstone with beds of conglomerate. The conglomerate is basically sandstone that includes "angular boulders of granitic rock as long as 2 meters and smaller boulders, cobbles, and rounded pebbles of hornblende gneiss, muscovite gneiss and schist, Franciscan chert, quartzite, limestone, sandstone, and shale." That variety of material represents a long-vanished countryside rather like today's, with vigorous rivers that carried this coarse sedimentary material straight out to sea.
The contact between the granite and the mudstone is an inactive fault. Both units are in the Salinian block. And now it's time to show them on the geologic map.
That fault contact will be an attraction for many geologists and students. Local researcher Kathleen Burnham describes what she looks forward to seeing here: "Among the notable features now hazardous and difficult to access are bedding-plane trace fossils, vertical burrows filled with white carbonate, some isoclinal bedding folds, and the contact between the strata of Point San Pedro and the underlying Montara Granodiorite. The Devil's Slide project as a whole will greatly enhance accessibility of these spectacular outcrops when the project is finished, traffic diverted, and vehicles no longer whizzing by within inches."
The geologists at Caltrans have been good friends of the geological community. Now that the old roadbed is in the County's hands, let's hope they don't decide to hide these rocks. Who knows how long we have to enjoy them.

Sir Isaac Newton said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." In the past two months, the students of the Free School of the New Message from God (myself included) have been contemplating, among other things, people whose efforts and contributions make them examples we wish to emulate.
We take inspiration from these great lives
In March of 2015, we read and reflected on the revelation "The Gift of a New Life," received by Marshall Vian Summers in May of 2011. There are many great ideas here, but the part I wish to share is this part about the efforts which must be made on our part.
"To have a new life, you must do the work. It is not a spell that is put upon you. It is not taking some magic potion and having everything be different. It is not a form of addiction or intoxication.
You will have to do the work. You will have to take the risks. You will have to make the decisions. You will have to disappoint other people. You will have to disappoint your own goals and ambitions. You will have to change your plans.
This is where you become strong. This is where you become united within yourself. This is where you follow one voice instead of many voices in your mind. This is where your true allegiance emerges amongst your other commitments and obligations.
This is where you reclaim your strength and your self-confidence. This is where you stop behaving foolishly, giving your life away to silly and meaningless things. This is where you know who to choose to be with and how to resist the temptations that lead you elsewhere in life."
We take inspiration from these great lives. In April of 2015, we were asked to consider people who did the work, people who took the risks, people who made the decisions, people who became strong, etc. Students shared people they selected, and gave examples of the work they did and the risks they took. Our selections included, but were not limited to:
Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948), father of modern India, called "Mahatma" or "great soul," nonviolent advocate
Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), philosopher and heretic, prophet of the Greater Community.
Paul Farmer, American physician who is best known for his humanitarian work providing suitable health care to rural and under-resourced areas in developing countries, beginning in Haiti.
Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma, the hugging saint. They say she has hugged 34 million people.
Chico Mendes (1944-1988), Brazilian rubber tapper, land rights advocate, and environmentalist. He said "At first I thought I was fighting to save rubber trees, then I thought I was fighting to save the Amazon rainforest. Now I realize I am fighting for humanity."
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), Serbian-American scientist, engineer and inventor. Our electrical grid works because of his ideas.
We take inspiration from these great lives. We seek to stand on their shoulders, that we may see further. We seek to follow in their footsteps, that we may give what we yearn to give.

Accuracy insurance for core orientation
Core sample protection
Using the REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ in the extraction process means the drill crew no longer need to strike the core with hammers or other hard objects in order to release it from the core lifter case. Protecting the ends of the core sample from impact damage will result in the ability to join the ends together with greater confidence in the accuracy of the logging process. Use of the REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ protects the core orientation markings significantly.
Increased safety
Downtime and drill crew safety is significantly improved with reduction in flying rock chips leaving the inside of the tool. The chance of creating numerous fragments of core is significantly reduced with any fragmented sections safely captured within the tool. The REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ remains securely attached to the core innertube throughout the core removal process resulting in reduced drop related injuries. Injury sustained from swinging hammers against the core sample are also greatly reduced.
Ergonomic design
The REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ was specifically designed for driller use. The design is free of sharp edges or pinch points reducing the incidence of crush injuries and impact injury is minimised when using the REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ to remove core samples from the lifter case.
Removing core from the innertube can be laborious, unsafe and result in damage to the core sample. The REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ is an effective, safe and low cost alternative to traditional extraction methods.
By using the tool to remove core from the drill rod, safety of the driller/operator is significantly improved through the REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™'s ergonomic design and unique 'hands-free' magnetic clamping mechanism. The REFLEX CORE REMOVAL TOOL™ ensures maximum protection of the core sample and core orientation mark to preserve accuracy of the core retrieved and reduce human risk and error

G Spot Extension, interesting idea, bad execution!!This toy may have been a good idea, but the execution is horrible. It is literally a jelly tip attached to a condom. It stretches during use and bruises the head of your penis, and can even come off during intercourse causing you to have to remove the tip with your fingers. This toy is not worth even trying, stay away!!
re-usable, tight fitting
uncomfortable, painful to use, comes off during use
Ok, here is the concept. Your making out with your partner getting all hot and bothered...Then right before you get ready to stick it in, you reach for the G Spot Extension and roll it on your cock like a condom. Just like a condom, because it is one, with a jelly tip attached to to it. The idea is that the tip attached to the condom will stimulate the g-spot during penetration. This toy, if it worked at all, would be best used by someone who has a thin penis. Beginners could figure this out as well as advanced users.
Material / Texture
The material is both Latex and Jelly (PVC). As a result the toy is smooth all around. but definitely not seamless you can tell it is a condom with an "attachment" on the end of it. Also, the condom was very stretchy, which worked against the use of the toy instead of with it. The condom, nor the jelly tip was stimulating on my penis. The condom had a little odor,(smelled like a cheap condom), but the jelly tip had no real odor at all.
Shape / Design / Size / Fit
The design of this toy is poor at best. It is literally a cheap condom with a jelly tip attached to it. The tip is not glued, there is an insert that you put inside the tip of the rolled condom, and then you push the insert and (tip)condom into the bottom of the G spot insert. Take the toy assembly and roll it down over the erect penis, just a like a condom and then commence the fucking. Except, after you put it on the tip feels very heavy and almost sags. I have an average size penis, and though the condom was nice and tight on my cock the g spot tip was much thinner than the head of my member, giving the look of a little "hat" on my dick, and once put on, it was uncomfortable, and just got worse during intercourse. At first it reached the g-spot area but only using short strokes, if I decided to push deep it was painful for my partner(hitting the cervix). It would fit most guys except the g-spot extension is much more narrow than most cocks.
Functions / Performance / Controls
This toy does not function properly at all. First off once you penetrate your partner the tip gets trapped by the vagina muscles and get held in place slightly and then the tip of your penis "slams" into the g-spot extension and hurts. Also, the g spot in most women is pretty shallow, just inside the top of the vagina, so the only way this really stimulates the G Spot is by using short strokes, as mentioned above if you stroke really deep it become not comfortable for the woman. After a few minutes of use I decided this toy is uncomfortable, and horrible and stopped using it, or at leas tried to stop using is. While pulling out of my partner the toy became trapped behind her kegal muscle and the condom broke and I had to "fish" the tip of the toy out of her with my fingers. Bad, bad, bad!
Care and Maintenance
If you were to actually use this product more than once, you can remove the g spot extension from your condom of choice and wash it. And once it's washed and dried you can pull the insert out of the bottom and place it into the tip of the condom and back into the G Spot Extension and then your ready to go again. You can store it in it's "clam shell" blister packaging or perhaps in a small zip-lock bag.

Full Review
Peyronie's disease (more about that condition can be found here) is a really painful and problematic medical condition that causes unusual penis curvature. The condition affects anywhere between one and three percent of the male population.
Depending on its severity, Peyronie's disease could have a tremendous impact on one's wellbeing and sex life.
Most treatments for Peyronie's disease involve invasive procedures that are painful and that come with a risk of complications. Is it possible to address the problem through the use of a dietary supplement?
Enzyme P500 is one such product and the following review will help you figure out whether it works for real and whether it produces benefits beyond curvature correction.
How Does Enzyme P500 Work?
Enzyme P500 is a male enhancement supplement that can be used alongside a traction device (penis extender) to achieve better results in terms of correcting abnormal curvature.
For many men suffering from Peyronie's disease, the curvature is not a big issue. If it's relatively small, the problem will not interfere with health and normal sexual function. More pronounced curvature, however, will contribute to serious pain and the inability to engage in intercourse.
The supplement contains natural ingredients that reduce the formation of scar tissue – one of the biggest culprits for abnormal penis curvature. In addition, the blend improves circulation and decreases the inflammatory response.
All of these combined benefits improve the functioning of the male reproductive system and could potentially result in some enhancement.
Main Ingredients
This male enhancement supplement contains a blend of several natural products:
The first ingredient decreases pain and it can also be used to reduce the hardening of the arteries. Nattokinase decreases the risk of blood clot formation, thus improving cardiovascular health.
All of these ingredients have the power to reduce fibrous and scar tissue formation, thus helping men prevent the appearance of abnormal penis curvature. The combination is also suitable for the treatment of Peyronie's disease (this means that the scar tissue has already formed).
The supplement contains several other ingredients that enhance the functioning of the main components:
- Coenzyme Q10
- Magnesium
- Amla extract
- Fungal protease
Enzyme P500 delivers great results in the Peyronie's disease treatment. This is a non-invasive method for correcting abnormal curvature and it also happens to be one of the most cost-efficient solutions.
Here are the main benefits of choosing Enzyme P500 for male enhancement:
- A blend of natural ingredients that has proven Peyronie's disease treatment benefits
- Studies confirm the effectiveness of Coenzyme Q10 in reducing plaque formation
- Some research suggests that the ingredients could contribute to bigger and harder erections
- International shipping is available
If you're looking for an overall male enhancement product, the market will certainly have better possibilities to offer. Enzyme P500 is predominantly created for men suffering from Peyronie's disease, which makes the product suitable for a niche group of individuals.
Keep in mind that getting the best Peyronie's disease treatment will often depend on the purchase of a traction device. For example a solid brand that you can try is SizeGenetics (see review here). The device is the safest and most efficient possibility for correcting the curvature.
If you want to get the best possible results, you'll need to use a supplement like Enzyme P500 alongside a medical-grade traction device.
In addition, if you need international shipping, you'll have to get ready for an additional charge.
Peyronie's disease is a really painful condition and Enzyme P500 is a product that men can rely on to overcome abnormal curvature. If you're suffering from another problem or you'd like to experience male enhancement, Enzyme P500 is going to be ineffective.
Because of its limited scope, the product gets a rating of 1.5 out of five stars.

I had this picture for a while now, dunno why I hadn't submitted it here yet.
I've been playing Kirby's Dream Land 2 again and remembered how great a game it was.
And this was my first time drawing them.

Spunt the Dino doesn't really get how the whole "ride a friend" concept. Of course, he's not awake long enough to be told anything.
I don't know why I made a picture of the Ometon, Kiki the Raccoon, Spunt the Dino, and Squeaky the Bogg. That's right, not Pon the Tanuki. Kiki the Raccoon. My brother had that fan Animal Friend made long before Dream Land 3 even came out.
I... don't remember what color its shoes were suppose to be. I've only seen it in B&W.

Kirby's Friends / Miniboss Tower / Boss Butch
2236 views
A vertical triptych of photographs. First is an arrangement of sculptures parodying the famous title screen pic of Kirby's Dreamland 3, also seen on Kindar's humongous front-page post. Second is a literal tower of Mini/Mid/Sub Bosses: 3 on the left appear only (in this series) in KDL2, 3 on the right appear only in KDL3, and 3 in the center appear in both games. Third and finally is the ever-present boss-battle montage pic. Much like the series finally 'Photo Shoot', except now Dedede gets his turn at the 'camera'. Thanks, everyone, for viewing my effort-full Kirby clay sculptures! As the staff-roll of Kirby's Super Star says, "And More~!" Look for much more of my artwork here in the future :)

I am sometimes, the very essence of, mischief, itself~! =D Aiya, it is a little too early for Halloween stuffs, but as I was working on my latest "Essence of" drawing (which should be finished sometime this weekend, hopefully) I realized how closely Kine resembles the King. The colors, mouth, 'googly eyes', and all; if the fish were just a bit more anthropormorphic, a Dedede he could be. Of course, I'm doin' it wrong... but this is just a quickie, so be happy with it :) India-Ink Pen + Colored Pencils used.

Internet Marketing Resources and Tips for Small Business Owners
home > articles & tips > internet marketing resources > webmaster tools > recommended books
Here's another gem from Michael Masterson's Early To Rise. It's easy to become overwhelmed by all the aspects of Internet marketing, so this article reminds us that business is still business regardless of the medium. We just have to learn how to leverage each business channel...
Recently, I participated in a seminar on Internet marketing. I went to listen and learn, but I did make a small presentation. One of the most important points I made about the Internet is that it is not one thing but many things. It is not only a market but also an industry and a medium.
Strike that. It is not just one medium but many media.
Websites are the medium people most talk about when they talk about the Internet. Websites come in many forms and have many functions. There are sites that are nothing more than data-storage centers. You go to them to find something. There are websites for shopping. Websites for news. Websites for advice (like ours). Websites for auctions. Websites to watch sex. Websites to plan travel. Websites to register your opinion. Classified websites. The list goes on and on.
Each kind of website is unique. Yet so much of the advice you read about websites is singular. It makes as much sense to make blanket marketing rules for all websites as it does to apply shopping-center selling strategies to daily newspapers.
And websites are only one group of Internet Media. In addition to websites, we have e-mail, banner ads, insert ads, e-zine advertorials, and much more. Each of these Internet business venues has a unique nature and purpose, But, again, so much professional Internet marketing advice lumps all these things together.
How To Sort It All Out
It's no wonder so many businesses have lost so much money on brainless Internet marketing schemes. In a market where money is abundant and good sense is rare, large losses are bound to occur. And they have. A quick tally of the marketing follies that have already crashed and burned would total in the billions of dollars.
Of the marketers attending the seminar, some had made money "on the Internet" and some had not. But all expressed some confusion about what exactly they were doing. When I asked them, "What is the primary purpose of your website," none had a clear and certain answer.
Yet when I polled those who had been successful, an interesting thing came up. Although they had all toyed with elaborate and fanciful plans about marketing (many of which were based on popular ideas), all had, when it came down to brass tacks, abandoned those ideas in favor of simple direct-marketing techniques.
Rather than lose a bunch of money following somebody's idea of how to use a website or write an e-mail ad, they fell back on their old ways. And guess what? It worked! It turned out that, contrary to what the self-appointed Internet experts had predicted, the old rules of selling are still effective - and these marketers instinctively knew so.
The Internet Has Changed Business In Many Ways, But One Thing It Hasn't Changed Is Human Nature.
Most of the early claims about New Economy marketing were based on the (wishful?) proposition that the Internet was going to change human nature. It didn't.
Thank God it didn't. Those of us who have built businesses by understanding human nature are happy to be able to apply the same old principles to the new media. And that gives us a very valuable clue. If you accept the idea that the old rules apply, you can be successful on the Internet by figuring out which rules apply to what situations.
The secret to doing that is to look for resemblances. What does e-mail resemble? Direct mail, of course. And if my theory is true, that would make it possible to make good money by sending e-mail solicitations to a list of people with common interests. Of course, that is exactly what porn e-mailers do (with great success) and it is what one of my colleagues has been doing for about a year. (During that time, a list of 30,000 names has yielded over a million dollars.)
What else? Internet insert ads resemble fractional space ads in magazines. And guess what? They work like them too.
Banner ads look like billboards to me. If you know how to make billboards work, you might be able to do wonders with banner ads. (Instead, thousands of companies have spent billions of dollars treating banner ads like I don't know what - maybe silly business cards - and they haven't worked.)
Internet classified ads - and advertorials - look like, and work like, classified ads in newspapers. Websites that act as magazines should use the layout and advertising approach that magazines use. The same holds true for websites that resemble department stores. Or websites that are, essentially, daily newspapers.
Figure out what an Internet medium resembles and apply the rules that have always worked on its corollary. Chances are you will be very close to right on.
About two years, ago I created a little website to sell weekly leases for a beach cottage I own. Since I didn't know any better, I ignored all the rules about what I should have done and followed the rules I knew for selling real estate in classified space. It was a good instinct. A $200 investment has returned almost $80,000 so far.
In the near future, I'll show you some specific examples of what I'm talking about. In the meantime, think about
(1) the method you have traditionally used to sell your product/service,
(2) what Internet form it resembles, and
(3) how that might some day make you rich.

IBP's Top Ten Optimizer Tools
Get top 10 rankings on Google & Yahoo with IBP's proven Top 10 Optimizer. Search engine optimization is never ending and it's nice when you can automate some of the work. If you found us through a search engine, it's because we've invested a lot of time and resources to understanding SEO. Google Adwords is good, but free organic traffic is even better.

12 Profit Accelerators that Could Quadruple Your Business in the Next 15 months Alone!
Michael Masterson's book on "Changing the Channel" provides new insight into the various online channels for marketing. Even though we were familiar with many of them, his perspective sparked ideas for implementing new programs in areas we just never gave much thought. For those who are relatively new to the various online marketing channels, the "bookinar" can walk you through the information so it doesn't becoming overwhelming.
Small business owners and entrepreneurs who can work their way around HTML may be able to utilize open source and low cost applications. Even if you have a big budget, there's no need to spend a lot if inexpensive software is available or an application that serves the purpose is available for free. Although you do usually get what you pay for, Google has proved that some of its free resources (ex. Google Analytics) work even better than paid alternatives.
MyDomain.com ($10 domain registration)
Not the cheapest registrar, but I love the ability to easily manage many domains from one account.
1&1 ($9 domain registration | dedicated servers starting at $50/month)
After hosting several sites on shared servers for many years, we realized that we needed the power and space of a dedicated server without having to actually set up and maintain the server. That's when we found 1&1's managed dedicated servers. Their technical support has been great and we only pay a little bit more than we did for all of our separate shared hosting accounts. We now host all of our web sites on our dedicated server.
Google Analytics (free)
Robust web analytics that's quick to set up. If you don't already have a Google account for your business, set that up first. (We don't recommend using your personal Google account that you may already have with Gmail. Create a separate account to use for your business.)
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 - Full ($399.00)
The industry standard for designing and updating websites yourself. Yes, it's a bit pricey but we've tried many other applications and this one has been the best. Absolutely worth the investment but a trial version is available if you want to take it for a test drive first.
phplist (free download)
We currently use this for our email newsletter management. Processing didn't work well on a shared server, but once we moved to a dedicated server, phplist has been fantastic. Although this open-source application is free to use, it has more than 30 nice features including:
PayPal (free setup - % of sales)
Accept payments online. In a relatively short time, your site can accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover as well as e-checks and, of course, PayPal. There are millions of users with existing PayPal accounts and prefer to pay this way because it keeps financial information secure.
Marketer's Choice - 1ShoppingCart ($34/month - $99/month)
Affordable shopping cart software with a 30-day test drive. Has some limitations but is easy to set up and gives you a good return. Because some people do not like PayPal, adding this shopping cart more than doubled our conversion rates and still allowed PayPal users to checkout.
OpenX (free download)
Ad serving software that's very flexible and feature-rich. Because it gives you a lot of control, be prepared to read the help documentation when you want to use the advanced features. We use this on our own websites. Works best on a dedicated server so if you're on a shared server, you may get better results using the hosted option.
These are being presented in the order that Donn read them. Beginning with the "Four Hour Work Week", Donn has a hard copy as well as an iTunes audiobook. The print version is good for quick reference and for ear marking your favorite sections. The audio version is great for drilling home important messages and taking advantage of hands-free review when you're on-the-go.
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons In Personal Change (Unabridged)"
Got to be on the best-seller list longer than any other book I've read. If you haven't read it yet, I'd be sursprised.
"The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Business Don't Work and What to Do About It (Unabridged)"
A must-read for the small business owner...explains why my first attempts at starting a business were so frustrating. Now I've learned to use systems so I can spend more time working ON my business rather than working IN my business.
"The 4 Hour Work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Unabridged)"
This book has been mentioned everywhere. I assumed it was another fad business book, but it turned out to be refreshingly original. Who wants to wait until they retire before really enjoying life? Not me.
"Changing The Channel: 12 Easy Ways To Make Millions For Your Business"
If you haven't already read the book, I purchased this audiobook through iTunes and finished it quickly during his 1 hour + daily commutes. Chapters cover everything from paid search engine marketing to email marketing to affiliate programs...and to my surprise, covered areas (channels) that I wasn't already familiar with.

text: The house was built by De Appelboom twelve years ago. At that time dark colours and heavy materials were used, including concrete, oak and old bluestone. We were ready for a change and introduced more light and airiness into the house, by painting the walls in a light colour and partially replacing the upholstery and decor. The kitchen was also updated, including laying a light floor screed. By handling the existing materials with respect we were able to create an adventurous and contemporary home.

Posted on: September 20th, 2009 Channel Surfing in Amnesiaville
by Justin Howe
Pilot Episode: Out of the bus and onto the street, scalpel-born smile for the world to see, Xander dons sunglasses.
He gives the Sams and Delilahs back home a reason to be jealous, cutting through a crowd of extras, slick as a razor and perfect as a summer day, dressed in fresh paperweave. His friends wait in the bubble bar, their voices awash in kinesthetic sound: Cleo, Julian, Betty, and Roman. The first time like the last time like all times forever.
A Cleo waves. Her group needs a Xander.
Back home was not like this. Back there, he was simply another Sam, watching the world pass by on the surround-screen. Never again. He's made it now. Recruited by the Networks, everything perfect, another day, another season, this year's episodes better than the last.
Xander quotes dialog from memory like it was his own.
Third Episode: He goes home with Cleo. Xander's watched himself do it before, and some Sam's back home watching him do it again.
They fuck, and afterwards they compare souvenirs.
"It was my mother's,†Cleo says, showing him a one-eyed teddy bear. "She had it for years.â€
Xander takes out the watch his older brother gave him. "He was wearing it the day he died in the car accident.â€
They fuck again.
Fifth Episode: Julian and Xander are coming home from the bubble bar. Julian's talking about Betty, how happy he is that they are together.
"She told me about this bear her mother gave her.â€
There's someone else on the street, some has-been Xander digging in a trashcan. He tries to run, his torn paperweave showing last season's logos, but Xander tackles him.
They drag the has-been to a vacant lot, where Julian laughs as they stomp out his teeth.
Eighth Episode: Trouble in the world, and not every Sam and Delilah is happy. They'd rather dump the whole show and do away with the Cleos and Xanders. The Networks are asking for volunteers, and Xander's decided to enlist. He's invested too much in himself to let some Sam or Delilah tell him how to live.
Julian and Roman join him, and Betty comes with them to the station.
Away from the others she admits she's always been in love with Xander, ever since she was a Delilah, watching him on the surround-screen. There's time before the flight leaves.
The two of them sneak away to a conapt, the micro-eyes of the world upon them.
Mid-Season: A line-up of little Sams and Delilahs, maybe they'd have grown up to be Bettys and Romans. Maybe if they had lived as the Networks wanted them to live. Their brother Sam is on the ground, a watch on his wrist. Its shattered face catches the sunlight and cracks it.
Xander turns up the sound on his helmet speakers. He drowns out his own screams as he squeezes the trigger on his flame-slinger.
The Networks are pushing the war with all they have. A real thrill-killer the Networks call this season. Ratings are up, and the smarter Sams and Delilahs support their efforts.
Back in the barracks, Xander sits with Roman and Julian.
"No hard feelings,†Julian tells him. He too has been watching the surround-screens.
Season Finale: Xander's different since he came back. They all are. When the five of them get together the dialog sounds false, like something hollow and empty as a can.
Betty and Roman check out together. They leave a note saying they can't handle the pressure. The Networks step in and replace them, always another Sam and Delilah waiting for a chance. Cleo is retired, no more teddy bear. She gets replaced with a Jasmine.
Outside the bubble bar one night, Julian waits for Xander. The first punch catches Xander unawares. His jaw breaks, tearing the scalpel scars and implants that made him the man he is.
Busted up now, Xander's another has-been, nowhere to go but down from here.
New Season: And Xander steps off the bus, no longer a Sam, owned by the Networks. All his new old friends wait for him in the bubble bar, the first time like the last time like all times forever.

Warm-Mix Asphalt Use Reaches New Heights
The latest NAPA/FHWA survey of asphalt producers' use of recycled materials and warm-mix asphalt find that nearly a quarter of all asphalt produced during the 2012 construction season was produced using warm-mix asphalt technologies.
The survey, conducted by NAPA under contract to FHWA, found that about 86.7 million tons of WMA in 2012. This is a 26 percent increase since 2011 and a 416 percent increase in the use of warm mix since the survey was first conducted in 2009.
The survey also found that about 68.3 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and 1.86 million tons of reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS) were used in new asphalt pavement mixes in the United States during in 2012. For the first time since the start of this survey in 2009, the amount of RAP and RAS used by producers exceeded the amount collected.
Producers were also asked about ground tire rubber, steel and blast furnace slag, and other waste material repurposed into pavements. Although national estimates of usage were not calculated, survey respondents reported using more than 1 million tons of these materials in 2012.
The 1.86 million tons of RAS is a 56 percent increase over 2011, and a 165 percent increase since 2009. Since 2009, RAS usage has been reported in 37 states. RAP usage showed a modest increase from 2011 to 2012; however, the 68.3 million tons used in 2012 is a nearly 22 percent increase since 2009.
The survey was conducted in mid-2013. Results from 213 companies with 1,141 plants in 48 states and Puerto Rico, along with data from 36 State Asphalt Pavement Associations, were used to calculate industry estimates for total tonnage. A full copy of the survey, including state-by-state appendixes can be downloaded from www.AsphaltPavement.org/recycling.

Neighborhood: Downtown Brooklyn
Address: Bridge St. and Fulton Mall
A striking change has come to the Fulton Mall—where Nola meets her most promising suitor—since She's Gotta Have It. While some large retailers like Macy's have long been part of the landscape, many smaller, independent retailers managed to co-exist among them for decades. This created a rich and varied shopping area for locals. In recent years, international mega-retailers like Aéropostale and T.G.I. Friday's-style chain restaurants have replaced the independent shops that once existed here.
As a recent New York Times article put it, "developers are hoping the influx of brand-name chains will finally lure them into what for decades has been a cherished destination for working-class shoppers." We're not sure what the construction site pictured here will turn into, but we're confident that Uniqlo and H&M won't rest until they are as ubiquitous as subway panhandlers and Mark Sanchez apologists. Fulton Mall may be next in line.

Today, I'm reviewing The Secrets of Lily Graves by one of my favorite authors, Sarah Strohmeyer!
This book was definitely different from Sarah's usual YA fare, but I ended up liking it quite a bit!
Title information:
Paperback, 304 pages
Published May 13th 2014 by Balzer + Bray
Two-second recap:
Synopsis via publisher:
Growing up in a house of female morticians, Lily Graves knows all about buried secrets. She knows that perfect senior-class president Erin Donohue isn't what she seems. She knows why Erin's ex-boyfriend, hot football player Matt Houser, broke up with her. And she also knows that, even though she says she and Matt are just friends, there is something brewing between them—something Erin definitely did not like.
But secrets, even ones that are long buried, have a way of returning to haunt their keeper.
So when Erin is found dead the day after attacking Lily in a jealous rage, Lily's and Matt's safe little lives, and the lives of everyone in their town of Potsdam, begin to unravel. And their relationship—which grew from innocent after-school tutoring sessions to late-night clandestine rendezvous—makes them both suspects.
As her world crumbles around her, Lily must figure out the difference between truth and deception, genuine love and a web of lies. And she must do it quickly, before the killer claims another victim.
I then saw the cover for The Secrets of Lily Graves, and was even more stoked. Because how can you not love that cover? The font, the couple, it's perfect!
Fortunately for me, HarperCollins had the ARC up on Edelweiss, so I was able to read it early!
Things that worked:
Sarah Strohmeyer proved with Smart Girls Get What They Want and How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True that she's a versatile writer, who can write any story and make it entertaining and compelling. She does it again with The Secrets of Lily Graves.
Even though the story is at heart, a murder mystery, Strohmeyer gives the book enough humor, interesting characters and fantastic plotting, that entire mystery kept me both intrigued and still didn't take itself too seriously as it progressed.
* The characters
If you've read any of Sarah's previous work, you'll know that she's excellent at creating memorable, three-dimensional characters. The same rings true here. Even though I had some problems with Lily's specific characterization - more on this later - I definitely think that she's the type of character with the overall personality and quirks, which will make her very real to any reader.
The same holds true for the secondary characters as well. Even though a lot of the characters only make one or two appearances, Strohmeyer includes the type of detail that will definitely make readers go "ah!" and help them develop an even more well-rounded view of that charter.
* The writing/pacing
The Secrets of Lily Graves is a suspenseful murder mystery, and Strohmeyer does a great job of throwing in enough details and cliffhanger moments to keep the story moving, and to keep readers guessing.
Even though I felt that the original fight with Erin was a bit cliched, I would say overall, Strohmeyer did a great job of making the mystery unique from similar stories in the same genre. There are quite a few twists and turns that I don't think readers will expect to see coming.
* The ending
Without giving the ending away, Strohmeyer proves that she can definitely write a unique yarn indeed. It definitely threw me for a loop, and I can't wait for the rest of you to enjoy it!
Things that didn't work:
Lily's personality and characterizations were a perfect example. Lily was often of two extremes: she was either snarky and witty, or she was mooning - and yes, I mean mooning - over Matt. It kind of made it hard for me to determine whether I liked her or not, honestly.
Strohmeyer also had a tendency to jump back and forth with flashbacks as well. While it did give a lot of backstory to Lily and Matt's stories, it made the narrative slightly confusing at times - especially in the final third of the book. However, I would love to hear what you guys think!
Final verdict:
Giveaway time!
About the author:

Report on Cloud Data Regulations: A Contribution on How to Reduce the Compliancy Costs of Cross-Border Data Transfers
APCC and ACCA Joint Report Promotes the Benefits of Aligning Data Categories Regionally
SINGAPORE, 18 JUN 2014 – The Asia Pacific Carriers' Coalition (APCC) and the Asia Cloud Computing Association (ACCA) have jointly released a new white paper on the increasing importance – and complexity – of compliance requirements, with suggestions on reducing compliance costs
"The growth of international trade has greatly facilitated the digital economy and the ease with which businesses can move goods and services as a result. Asia is increasingly fragmented with respect to regulations on cloud services. Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate the maze of compliance requirements," said Simon Smith, President of the APCC. "This paper highlights that in order to maintain the growth of international trade and investment, a regulatory balance between privacy, security and the free flow of information must be struck."
This theme of Asia poised to succeed was echoed by Bernie Trudel, Chair of the ACCA. "With data becoming the currency of the new economy, enabling smooth data flows between countries is increasingly critical," said Trudel. "Data policies in the region should be aligned to reduce regulatory confusion, and one way is to work on a data classification nomenclature, potentially applying different security requirements to different categories of data. Our research suggests that the impact upon regional trade could be immediate and dramatic. Asia stands well positioned to leap ahead if regulators and policy makers can come together to provide regional clarity through alignment."
The white paper, originally commissioned by the APCC, builds on original research developed by the ACCA as part of a broader and ongoing study on Data Sovereignty throughout the Asia Pacific.

Once upon a time industrial furniture was used in factories and warehouses, and was entirely driven by function with little regard to aesthetic. Now days however, industrial furniture is one of the most coveted looks for any happening home, and can sometimes be as expensive as bespoke, made-to-order furniture pieces.
Vintage industrial furniture and accessories are incredibly on-trend in homes across the country, be they inner-suburban renovated warehouses or welcoming regional estates – this is a look that can apply itself to so many interiors as either an all-encompassing decor, or simply used for pops of personality and charm.
What materials are used in Industrial Style furniture?
Industrial furniture invariably calls on solid, raw materials – predominately metals and timbers – that are hard-wearing and hard-working. Industrial furniture is not whimsical; this is no-nonsense, robust furniture that was originally made with a serious purpose in mind. The design is often quite masculine in style and form.
Industrial furniture doesn't necessarily mean an item retains its original purpose. For instance, a work bench might become an incredibly dramatic and sturdy kitchen table in a home, or a tractor seat might be reinvented as a stool. Additionally, industrial furniture can be newly designed and developed, but made from industrial materials that are therefore entirely reinvented. For instance, it is not unusual these days to see raw metals and reclaimed timber used in the one design to create a finished piece that may never have seen the inside of a factory, yet would still would be considered 'industrial' as a result of its overall feel and flavour.
But it's not just big, functional items that can be referred to as industrial furniture – mirrors, lamps and clocks can also be tagged industrial if they're made from certain raw materials that would otherwise seem every bit at home in a working warehouse. Certainly these items existed in factories and can now be found as original vintage industrial must-have pieces.
In short – industrial furniture might have its original home in factories and warehouses around the country, but it's a look that is very much adding personality, contemporary 'grit' and charm to residential spaces nationwide.
Where to buy Industrial Style Furniture?
Original pieces of Industrial style furniture can be found in vintage stores, and antique stores specialising in this style and period. There are also specialist furniture retailers who have designed and developed ranges that have the look of vintage industrial but are actually new pieces.
The advantage of these is that they have been purpose built and designed, so may offer better functionality. Original vintage industrial pieces sometimes can be very heavy, awkward, sharp edges etc.
Check out the range from Loft Furniture - they have designed a range of furniture that evokes the feeling of factory and warehouse fixtures and fittings from decades past.

Roll the Dice
Wayne Avrashow
Fiery Seas Publishing (2017)
Interviewed by Sheri Hoyte for Reader Views (4/18)
Wayne Avrashow is a practicing attorney and lobbyist in Los Angeles. His background provides unique insight into the machinations and characters that populate politics. He was campaign manager for two successful Los Angeles City Council campaigns and served as Deputy/Chief of Staff to two Council members. He was a senior advisor and Chairman for various Los Angeles ballot measures; and was a government Commissioner for nearly twenty years. He currently serves as a Board Member of the Yaroslavsky Institute, a public policy board.
Avrashow has represented matters before government bodies in California, Nevada and Idaho. He has a strong presence on social media, Facebook and Twitter. He authored numerous op-ed articles on politics, social issues and law for newspapers, business and legal journals. He wrote a book for the legal community, Success at Mediation—10 Strategic Tools for Attorneys. Roll the Dice is his debut novel.
Welcome Wayne, and thank you for being with us today! Why don't you start by telling our readers a bit about your journey to becoming a published author?
I always loved a good novel. As a teenager I read Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Charles Dickens, a couple of sports novels and many James Bond books. A diverse selection. I draft legal documents as an attorney, which is great, but drafting an easement does not fulfill any creative dream. I enrolled in writing classes at UCLA Extension program, joined a beginning writers' group….and boom…starting writing.
What is Roll the Dice about?
The short version is, a mega rock star leaves the Las Vegas stage to run for political office. The longer version: A man turns fifty, he has achieved great fame and fortune but questions the meaning of his achievements, he has no meaningful female relationship, has a strained relationship with his father, his closest advisors have divided loyalties and his rock star past comes back to haunt him with vengeance.
What inspired you to write Roll the Dice?
I very much enjoy novels with law, crime and interesting twists; Grisham and Connelly are my favorites. Gone Girl was exceptional. I thought I could write a novel about a political campaign, a short sprint of time where all the forces are coming at the candidate.
Tell us about your protagonist, Tyler Sloan. Why did he give up the rock star life to become a politician?
His father Mike was a famous politician, Governor of California and almost President. Sloan is at a point in life where he wants to do something meaningful and believes he can make a difference in the political arena.
How did you come up with this storyline, do you have a muse?
The muse is a mix; Jon Bon Jovi or a more "pop" Bruce Springsteen running for Senate in New Jersey. Then forget New Jersey, let's go to Las Vegas and Nevada and watch Tyler Sloan run an unconventional campaign befitting a rock star.
How involved was your research for this book?
I managed a couple of campaigns, have been involved in many others and follow politics, so I had that portion. I love Las Vegas, been going there since I was a boy with my parents and find it fascinating. For business and pleasure I have visited many of Nevada's cities and small towns. I visited or had been to many of novel's local restaurants, hotels and scenes. There is one scene set in a legalized brothel in Pahrump, Nevada, we'll take the 5th if that was personal observation or inspired by an HBO series……or both.
What was your biggest challenge writing Roll the Dice?
I never suffered writer's block. I enjoy the process. The challenge is instilling conflict at every turn.
What distinguishes Roll the Dice from other political thrillers?
It's realistic. A political campaign is always a tight time frame, Tyler Sloan announces in June for an election in August. He is a political independent, so he is battling the two parties, the media, his past, his ex-wife, his campaign manager is secretly wearing a wire for the FBI and a sex tape from his past emerges…. it's a burning tornado swirling around Sloan…he must find a way.
What can you tell us about your publishing experience?
The hardest part was finding an agent, but I have a great one in Linda Langton. It's Rejection City. I contacted 80 +/- agents and five expressed interest. I had one memorable and humorous rejection. I wrote the query letter on my legal stationary thinking that would have agents taking me seriously. One agent scribbled across my letter with many harsh words, "Never represent an attorney." He added that he detested the profession and that authors cannot write novels. He took a lot of time and unfortunately forgot about Grisham, Baldacci, Linda Fairstein, Turlow, Meg Gardiner and countless others. My best guess—a nasty divorce and a lot of bitterness.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I really enjoy writing. I follow politics and current events, enjoy my friends, love my two grown sons who are doing great.
What do you like to read?
For better or worse I sometimes read two books, one fiction, one non-fiction. On fiction, legal, political, crime dramas/thrillers.
What book has most influenced your life?
It's not one book, but To Kill a Mockingbird was very meaningful–one man battling the odds, the establishment, the social pressures and preserved.
If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
I should have started sooner. If you want to write, start now.
What is the best piece of advice you've ever received, about writing, or about life in general?
My writing professor/coach had several "sayings." One was "go big." When you write a novel, ratchet it up a notch….or two.
Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
I like to write an outline and have an idea of where I'm going, others can just start. The key–write something every day.
So, what's next, do you have another project in the works?
I started on my sequel to Roll the Dice. It's taking shape rather nicely.
Do you have a website or blog (or both) where readers can learn more about you and your works?
Yes, my website is www.wayneavrashow.com.
Where can readers connect with you on social media?
Facebook @wayneavrashowauthor
Twitter @wayneavrashow
Is there anything else you'd like to share with our readers today?
I hope they check out Roll the Dice, I tried to write a fun read. If you are a writer, enjoy the journey. There is nothing like holding your book in your hands for the first time!

OOOOOO MAN… I came to a local restaurant to upload pics and do a proper blog and lo and behold- I forgot the chip reader for my camera. SOOO.. the only photos I have are cell phone pics… Should be up and running tomorrow.
The move was absolutely exhausting. I feel hungover just from the move alone. We hauled A$$ for almost 24 hours straight. YES, yes, yes, I learnt a lesson. I am as tough as wonder woman, but sometimes I should just give it up to professionals. We are swimming amongst boxes and random stuff everywhere… but at least.. we are here… all moved in.
HA- I found this old poster of me when I modeled for Tonic (in Saskatoon)
I took a picture of it and threw it away.
THIS picture was taken from bed when I woke up this morning!!
One of my favorite things about our new place is that we will never, ever, ever have to close the blinds. All light- all the time. I love it.
I love how some people think Port Moody is soo far away. Yes it is outside of downtown Vancouver.. But it is not that big of a deal. It's not like the time I moved from Los Angeles, CA TO North Battleford, SK. Now THAT was a big difference, and I loved both places for different reasons (ok- maybe LA a bit more)
But I can see the beauty in both. Port Moody however is the perfect place for me at this time in my life. I am sooo happy with the long thought out decision to call this place home.
I will still frequent downtown! I have a wine tasting event in Yaletown tomorrow night! But this oasis in the little mountain village is a freaking amazing place to come home to!
Woo Hoo. Sorry about the ghetto cell phone pics. I have Tomboy That Wears Makeup Of The Month coming tomorrow!! (she is a gem, a gem I say!)
Have a wonderful Sunday Funday and stay classy!

You've just been approved for a new credit card and are anxiously waiting for it to come in the mail. You may need it soon to pay off your medical bill, child's college tuition, a new refrigerator, or maybe just groceries for the week. This can bring up some very good questions. How long does it take to get a credit card in the mail? Why does it take so long? How can I receive it faster? The answer to these questions is not as simple as you may think, so let's first understand the credit card application process.
Be sure to learn what it takes to build amazing credit here!
Types of Credit Card Applications
There are generally two types of credit card applications: standard and instant decision. This is decided by the bank so be sure to check which application you are filling out to get an idea of what to expect.
Standard Applications
If approved, it will take approximately 14 days from the day you applied to receive your credit in the mail, whether you filled out the form online or spoke to a representative on the phone.
In any standard credit card application process, applicants are asked to provide their full personal details and information on their existing financial commitments. This information is then reviewed by the credit card company, which can take anywhere from 5 to 10 working days.
Applying by standard mail will most likely take the longest to process since for several reasons. First, you have to consider the amount of time it takes for the application to reach the credit card company from your mailbox. Then the application needs to be entered manually into the system, as opposed to an online application where it's submitted automatically. However, if you applying for a credit card that is associated with your current banking society, you may get a quicker response because your existing relationship makes it easier to verify your information.
Instant Decision Applications
If approved, it will take approximately 10 days from the day you applied to received your credit card in the mail.
Hence the name, these applications are accessed via the internet, and usually offer a response within minutes of submission. These credit cards are only offered by certain issuers such as Chase, Citi, American Express and Discover to name a few.
So what are they checking exactly during that brief time after clicking the "Submit" button?
- Identity verification – First they want to know that the person filling out the form matches with the information on the application. You may have to go through a few security questions to verify that it is really you, and not an imposter, applying for the credit card.
- Credit score check – Depending on the issuer, your credit score will be pulled from one of the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion), or even all three. It is said that your credit score is the number one determining factor when it comes to getting approved or not. We will discuss this in further details in the next section.
In the past, instant decision credit cards were mainly reserved for applicants with the best credit ratings. Nowadays, these credit cards are available for a wide range of people with various credit scores. Therefore, this is by far the more popular choice among credit card applicants.
What Determines My Credit Score?
Without a good credit score, chances are you won't be approved for many credit cards. Even if your score is average, there are times when the issuer needs more information about your credit history. This can really slow down the application process. So what does it take to build and maintain a good credit score?
Payment History (35%) – This is the most important component of your credit score. Paying your bills on time will help raise your score, while late payments and collection records will lower it. But just making all of your payments in time isn't enough to build a great score as you'll see.
Debt (30%) – Also known as your revolving utilization percentage, debt makes up a good portion of your overall score. All of your debt balances are factored, but your credit card debt has the most impact. It's important that you keep your debt balances low in relation to your credit limits, otherwise expect your score to take a hit.
Get the basics of finance and budgeting here to avoid the pitfalls of debt and low credit scores.
Average Age of Accounts (15%) – This component measures how long you've had credit by looking at the dates you first opened all of your accounts. The older your credit history is, the better your score will be. For this reason, closing your credit card accounts is not always a good idea.
Account Diversity (10%) – Having a diverse credit history will give you points in this category. Diverse means having a little bit of many different types of accounts including credit cards, mortgages, car loans and student loans. The only type of account that can hurt you is a finance company account.
Number of Hard Inquiries (10%) – When you apply for a new credit card, a "hard inquiry" is posted to your credit file. When you have too many hard inquiries, your score takes a dip because it shows that you are applying excessively for credit cards. The rule of thumb is to wait at least 90 days before applying for a new credit card to avoid taking a hit on your credit score.
Ways To Receive Your Credit Card Faster
For those of you who are as impatient as me when it comes to waiting for a credit card to come in the mail, try using these tips to speed up the process. It might even make the difference from getting denied to being approved!
Do A Quotation Search First
This will ensure the quickest and safest process when it comes to applying for a credit card. Quotation searches, also known as "soft pulls", are initial checks a credit card provider carries out to see whether the application is like to be accepted. They are different than hard pulls in that they don't show up directly on your credit record.
The main problem with this is that it costs credit card providers money. Most banks and building societies therefore no longer provide quotation searches for customers. Nationwide are one of the exceptions, as is Barclaycard but their check isn't an application for credit so you'd have to apply through their special eligibility form.
Fill Out The Application Completely
Issuers find it easier to make a decision when they are given all the information they requested on the application. This means to fill out any "optional" fields that you may see on the form. Additional information also counts, as a full record is often a good one.
Accuracy is equally as important. Credit card issuers will cross reference all of the information given with records from other agencies and from the electoral roll. If something doesn't match or looks suspicious, chances are your application will be red flagged and the decision process will be delayed.
Send The Terms Agreement Right Away
After you've been accepted, the first piece of mail you usually receive from the new provider is a terms and conditions agreement. This letter usually needs to be signed by you and returned to the provider. The quicker they receive it, the sooner you'll receive your card.
Rejected? Call Their Reconsideration Line
You may have a low credit score due to debt, missed payments or simply not having your finances straight. However, just because your application was initially rejected doesn't mean you have zero chance of still getting the card. Almost every credit card issuer has a reconsideration line that can be found on the internet. Sometimes they hastily reject applicants but will approve them if they call and explain certain red flags on the application. Calling will not hurt you in any way, so it's definitely worth a shot!
