Cranberry Sauce Duo

 - by Elizabeth

We went back and forth this year on whether or not to go out to a restaurant or stay home and cook.  Out?  In?  And since all our children were taken care of and I heard it was going to rain, In was what won in the end.  I went looking for my mother’s most recent cranberry sauce recipe–tore apart all my stashes of clipped, stained, printed-out papers but couldn’t find it.  I went to Epicurious and searched.  Then I realized I probably had it on my computer.  Duh.

So here are two cranberry sauce recipes.  The first is from Epicurious, dated 2000. It’s a bit tart, but with the addition of ginger and the pepper, has a good tang to it. The second came from my mother and I don’t know where she got it from.

Cranberry Relish, from Epicurious

2 oranges
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, cut in fine julienne
1 bag (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

1. Peel 1 orange and cut the zest (orange part only) into a very fine julienne, as thin as possible; set aside. Squeeze both oranges for juice; set aside.

2. Combine sugar and lemon juice in a small sauté pan. Heat up slowly and continue cooking until the sugar begins to caramelize. If necessary, wash down the sides of the pan by brushing with a little water to keep the sugar from burning.

3. When the sugar is caramel colored, add the julienned ginger and orange zest. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the cranberries, orange juice and pepper. Continue to cook on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the cranberries are slightly broken but not mushy (frozen cranberries will take about 7 minutes). Remove from the heat and let cool.

Cook’s Notes: I like my berry sauce a little soft, so I cooked it a little longer than they said.  I also tasted it and added about 2 Tablespoons sugar as it was a bit mouth-puckery too tart for me.  I think my oranges were smaller so everything was more intense.  I also grated my fresh ginger, as I keep it in the freezer and there was no way it could have been julienned.

Mom’s Cranberry Sauce, 2006

Cook 12 oz bag fresh cranberries in 1 cup water until skins pop open.  Add 2 cups sugar, scant cup chopped golden raisens, 1 chopped Granny Smith apple, zest and juice of 1 lemon, zest and juice of 1 orange.  Cook 15 minutes or until slightly thickened.  Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

(The best yet, she says.)

ColourPop  just passed their first birthday. (Happy Birthday!) They are doing very well! They have been so busy releasing new products what seems like every three and a half seconds! I have loved every single thing I have tried from them and I am excited about new releases! These lip pencils are my favorite lip product ever! And they are only $5! All of their products are really affordable.

Lippie Pencils are very long lasting, not sticky at all, very well pigmented (some of them almost too pigmented) and they do not dry out the lips although they do of course have a matte finish. These are very easy to wear with other lip products as well! To make the color last even longer I like to dust my lips with the foundation brush or sponge I had just used, apply the lip pencil and then set with a powder. I don’t own very many at this point but I love them so much that I plan to own every single color eventually! Even the wacky colors like the green or the gold!

From top to bottom the ones I currently own are:

All of these have matching Lippie Stix of various finishes (Satin, Cream, Glossy, Hyper-Glossy, Matte, and Pearlized).

I recommend these and all of the other products from colour pop to anyone and everyone! This is an amazing company with amazing products and prices!

What are you favorite Lippie Pencil colors? What are your favorite ColourPop Products? Please share in the comments!

Playing Catch Up

Holy moly.  One little long weekend and all of a sudden I’m behind by like 6 posts.  Well, I’m here now!  Be prepared…this could get long!

When last I left you I was settling in for a night of Weeds Season 4 and some treats.  I ended up staying up until like 3am watching every episode.  :)

Amazingly enough I didn’t sleep the day away on Sunday…although I didn’t really do anything super constructive either. Puttered around the house making sure to be ready for Mom’s visit and picked up a last few groceries and such.

Coffee and a Kind Bar for breakfast (this is my second one of these bars that was stale…)

Another delicious sammich made with the leftovers from our Eat Atlantic dinner party (only ate half the sammich…)

Discovered a dangerous new treat at Bulk Barncoconut cashews…they are like honey roasted cashews, only coconuty instead of honey.  Crazy good!!

The other half of my deeeeelish sammich with the last of the awesome farmers market cherry tomatoes and some of Lynn’s roasty spuds (which I baked up in the oven so they were crispy and awesome…)

I was aiming to be in bed at a reasonable time because I was supposed to get up extra early to pick Mom up at the airport, but as I was getting ready for sleep she called to let me know that her flight had been delayed so much that they had to put her on a different flight and she would be really late.  Poor Mama sitting in the boring Victoria airport for like 5 hours!  ewwwww.

When she did finally arrive at 10:20 Monday morning she was tired and hungry, so we headed for Cora’s.

I got the bigass waffle because I haven’t had it the last few times I’ve been there.  With yummy coffee and a small OJ.  Unfortunately our service sucked (our waitress was on us like crazy until our food arrived and then after that we never saw her again).  I ended up getting annoyed enough to ask someone else to get our bill, etc (seriously I never even got offered more coffee and both of our plates were empty, and our waitress looked right at us at least twice but never got to us).  We did get some coupons for next time though because they felt bad, so that’s something.

After that Mom needed to sleep to sort out her internal clock and make up for the 12+ hours of travel time and lack of sleeping on the plane, so I just spent the day reading and watching TV.  I was bored, but also completely unmotivated to find anything to do.  My gym was closed and I just didn’t feel like walking or anything.  You know those days.

For dinner I took the opportunity to make some yummy fish.  FH is away (he doesn’t eat fish so I don’t usually bother making it when he’s around) and Mom requested haddock while she was here, so I used the same recipe as last time for some easy pan-fried haddock.  I added dill and a sprinkle of cayenne to the egg mixture just for something different.

042 043

Served with fresh green beans and the fingerling potatoes I got at the farmers market.  For the potatoes I just left them whole, tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, dill, and s&p.  Roasted on a baking sheet at 400 for about 20 mins…shaking them around about half way through.

040 041

Fish n chips!

And some quickie tartar sauce…light mayo, relish, minced onion, dill, lemon juice.

And for dessert, I used up the leftover ice cream from the dinner party and served it with some sauce made from frozen local raspberries and blueberries…simply heated on the stovetop with a sprinkle of sugar.

050  053

Along with a couple of new cookies I found the other day…Vanilla Bean Latte…how could I pass those up?!  :)

Hmmm…I had planned to post everything up to and including yesterday but this post has taken way too long so I guess I’ll have to recap some more later!!  After all, it is a work day and I do have a run to fit in here somewhere!  :)

Wed. 01/21/09 - Emini Addict

I was too busy at work to put on any real $ trades, but I spent part of the day in Emini Addict's live trading room (it was free for today). Due to lack of time, I didn't really focus much on his "ambush" setups but I think the gist of it is drawing Fibonacci retracement levels from swing high/low and expecting a buy/sell response at certain fib levels (50%-61.8%). This is an over-simplification and just a guess (you can check his blog for details). One thing that did catch my attention though was his money management technique. He always uses a 6-tick (1.5 point) stop-loss. He exits half of his position at +2 ticks, and tightens the stop-loss to 4-ticks, or at times, to 2-ticks making it a risk-free trade minus commissions, and rides out the remaining position to target or stop. I tried it out on Sim trading 2-lots and was up +$300 on a few trades; and this was with relatively poor execution (a couple of trades were taken while I was on a conference call). Do you guys have any feedback on this trade management method? It requires at least 2 contracts, along with a very high hit rate in order to be successful (my win rate was around 80%). Regardless, I think Emini Addict was up pretty good on the day, and at $29.99/month, his chat room is a good educational resource for new traders.

TICK/VIX (3-min)

Market Balance (5-min)

You can see from this balance chart how my Rule of Shorts below the mid-point and Longs above, would have kept me out of trouble today. The mid-point is the gray line on the chart.

  1. I think E-mini addict must be a student of John Carter's . The ambush set-up is theirs and the trade management methodology also theirs.

    Personally, I don't really like that type of trade management at all. You need very high accuracy to make it work because the winners are so much smaller than the losers. Also, if you're decent at seeing the big picture in the market, then you're cutting yourself very short by taking 2 ticks on half the trade, and also u'll barely catch any big moves by moving the stop so tight very quickly as you'll get whipsawed out by noise most of the time.

    To me, it's really a very non-aggressive strategy that seems to espouse the "Trade not to lose" mentality, instead of trading to win. Unless you're an ultra active scalper, it usually pays to let winners run instead of cutting them short so u rarely take losses. Win rate is highly overrated when it comes to day trading.... it usually comes down to how big your winners are compared to your losers. And you can make great money with a won rate less than 40% if your winners are much bigger than your losses cuz you ride them for decent targets when the big picture line up.

    But as always, just my personal opinion, and every trader has their own style.

  2. That sounds like the risk management that John Carter uses. I used a version of it too in the past. From what I saw it does have it's advantages, and disadvantages. In certain market conditions this method will really help. The trick (IMHO)is to look at your past 25 -50 trades and see if this method would have netted you more money. For me, in the long run I was better off going back to what I use now. But John Carter (who I think this guy has learned this trick from based on some things I read on his site) is a VERY talented trader, I've watched him live, he's good! John, trading the Dow, uses a 30 point initial stop, exits 1/3 position at +5 and moves the stop to -10, then exits 1/3 at +20 and raises his stop to entry, then he let's the rest run and trails the stop.

    It's worth looking into!

  3. As always, I appreciate your opinions guys! And you guys are right, he follows Carter's method...I heard that name more than a few times in the trading room.

  4. I used to trade fib retraces...

    In fact, I built an entire methodology around it...

    Scheck it!

    As far as the mgmt - I never liked carter's mgmt style. Sign up for TTM's free videos Awais and check them out... Carters a great trader but IMO his technique scales out TOO aggressively IMO.

    Using Michael's example of a 30 pt inital with 3 contracts... lets see... 1 Loss is -90 points... 1 Win is MAYBE (assuming he gets his first two targets and a runner) 50 points? Its just whack in terms of risk/reward.

    Now heres the other side of the argument that I do feel is valid - the EXPECTANCY of getting those targets is something very powerful. Its not just about R:R - its about the probability of getting your position to a target level. I know personally I revolve all of my trading around the expectations of price getting to levels and I rather get out at predictable levels than hold for runners because of this. So its a balancing act. On one hand carter has huge initial risk - but on the other hand he is betting that the odds of him getting to reduced risk are very high. It is a principle I employ in my own methods, however I do it in a fairly minimalistic way - certainly not on par with Carter.

    The only way to tell is to backtest it thoroughly with your own style.

  5. Matt, you're right on about the R:R and expectancy of hitting the stop/target. I made a post about this last year titled Stops and Risk which dealt with this very issue. I'm comfortable with my current 2-pt stop-losses and they have done a good job of keeping me out of trouble, so probably best to stick with that until market conditions change. Even a 2-point stop is pretty aggressive.

Taking a Day Off From Cancer Treatment

Rate This

I can finally say that I actually enjoyed every last minute of today, as I felt like for the first time in a long time I had the “day off”. I was discharged last night at 6pm from Scottsdale Healthcare, which ended up being perfect timing since my next caregiver and dear friend Kiera was due to land in Phoenix at 7pm from Telluride. Perfect timing!

I was notified today that I will not be continuing radiation today and Monday-Wednesday of next week. Whew! I was really nervous about having radiation and chemo done so close together and worried about how the side effects would affect each other.

I was also told that the chemo would only be 3 1/2 to 4 hours this time…this is a big improvement on the 7 hours of chemo during the first round. I’m not exactly sure why this is so much shorter, and I’m wondering if the way that St. Joes administers chemo is slightly different. Either way, I am praying that my side effects are minimal. At least today, I was finally able to enjoy myself.

Kiera and I spent the day running errands, shopping, and even had the chance to take advantage of Arizona Spa Week and get a facial at the Firesky Resort. By the time we got home, it was 6:30pm and we rounded up Wes to head back out to dinner at one of my favorite places, Tarbells. It felt so good to finally feel somewhat normal again. I did have a couple of reminders today of the cancer that I am living with everyday: trying on sandals I was having a difficult time because my right foot was extremely swollen from the fluid retention from the blood clot, same idea with trying on sunglasses, although this time it was my face that was swollen from the steriods, wearing the annoying pink brace all day and taking it on and off each time I went to the restroom, and more!

Today I did have a new pain as well. The pain on my T8 vertebrae started acting up a little. For the past week or so I have only been feeling the stomach and surgery pain. I don’t think it’s a good sign that I am feeling pain again in my back. I am hoping that it’s temporary and will go away tomorrow.

Vodafone June quarter KPIs: the slide continues

Vodafone’s European revenue growth continued to slide, down to -4.4% in the June quarter from -3.3% last quarter, which itself was a sharp drop

A substantial element of this quarter’s decline was driven by an acceleration in termination rate cuts in Germany, but the general trend is weak volumes driven by a weak economy

With a substantial termination rate cut in the UK taken from 1st July, we expect growth to decline again in the September quarter, before stabilising/improving for the rest of the year

Vodafone June quarter KPIs: excuses, excuses…

Vodafone blamed a harsh competitive environment and the timing of Easter for its low revenue growth in core markets reported this week. Its growth did at least not decline again, although we expect that Vodafone will again prove to be underperforming its competitors as they report their figures over the coming weeks

CPW will also benefit from its partnership with AOL for portal advertising, content and other internet-based applications, relatively small but fast-growing value-added services in which CPW has little experience or market position, which will prove important in terms of both customer retention and margins.

Vodafone June quarter 2011 results: Spain continues to drag

Vodafone Europe’s service revenue growth dropped by 0.5ppts to -1.3% in the June quarter, although most of this was due to a sharp MTR cut in the UK

Revenue in Spain was very weak due to a price re-adjustment, but trends elsewhere were broadly positive, with voice minutes growth improving overall

Medium term prospects are good, with MTR cuts fading, competitive performance improving and data growth likely to re-accelerate, but we expect declining growth in Turkey to drive a worse performance in the short term

Vodafone June quarter 2010 results: confidence issues

Vodafone Europe’s revenue growth again notched up, increasing by 0.7ppts as reported or 0.3ppts in underlying terms, with minutes volume growth accelerating by 1.8ppts

This is a little disappointing in the context of the rate of reported GDP recovery, but consumer confidence, particularly in Southern Europe, has re-dipped in the last few months, making raw GDP figures less relevant than they once were

Data revenue is forging ahead, but voice pricing is steadily weakening, and with many offers linking voice, text and data into an inseparable bundle the former may be causing the later, implying that data’s contribution to overall revenue is easy to overestimate

Vodafone half year 2010/11 results: slow improvements, strong strategy

Vodafone Europe’s underlying revenue growth rose slightly in the September quarter, performing well in a market that is still only slowly recovering. Control of fixed costs was strong, but rising handset subsidies pushed margins down again

Vodafone’s updated strategy contains strong elements of a focus on the nitty gritty and a move away from the more expansive desires of the past, which is excellent. Successful implementation remains a challenge, but at least head office is likely to be a help, not a hindrance

Vodafone’s medium term expectations are for growing revenue and stable margins, which is laudably ambitious compared to past performances, and may even be achievable if it can balance smartphone tariffs and handset subsidies to its net advantage

Vodafone H1 2011/12 results: Doing well in difficult circumstances

Vodafone Europe’s service revenue growth improved marginally in the September quarter, a very solid performance under tricky circumstances, helped by good competitive performances and judicious pricing measures

The combined Europe and group common function EBITDA margin was again held flat, despite continued smartphone adoption pushing up handset costs, with strong cost control again evident

Pricing, competitive, regulatory and cost trends are all going well; but macroeconomic trends are clearly not, and are likely to make an acceleration in the second half of the year very difficult

Vodafone H1 2009/10 results: hitting the nadir?

Vodafone Europe’s service revenue growth declined again in the September quarter to -4.6%, but on an underlying basis it improved, and volume growth also improved, suggesting that improving economic fundamentals are starting to feed through

Margins again fell, with the net benefit of the cost reduction program a long way from compensating for revenue declines, but overhead costs are at least dropping in absolute terms

We are optimistic that revenue growth can continue recovering in Europe, implying a still-depressed 2009/10 but a much better 2010/11, with positive revenue growth in 2010/11 a real possibility, and that the company could stabilise margins if it sticks to cost reduction plans, and resists the temptation to ‘reinvest’ in ‘strategic’ initiatives

Vodafone FY 2011/12 results: Revenue growth improves, margins shakier

Vodafone Europe’s revenue growth improved by 1.5ppts on a reported basis and by 0.3ppts on an underlying basis; given the deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, this is a strong result, and Vodafone extended its outperformance of competitors

Margins were weaker with European EBITDA margin dropping about 1ppt on an underlying basis in H2. SAC/SRCs were for once well under control, but a very small rise in ‘other’ costs pushed margins down; with revenue growth well below inflation, maintaining margins is a massive challenge

The Group’s strategy continues to be sound, and is validated by its competitive outperformance, but market conditions are likely to keep its revenue growth negative and margins slightly declining for the next year at least

Vodafone FY 2010/11 results: performing well in a weak market, smartphones helping

Vodafone Europe’s service revenue growth dipped by 1ppt in the March 2011 quarter, but nearly all of this was due to regulated MTR cuts, with its competitive performance actually improving again

The combined Europe and common cost EBITDA margin was actually held flat in H2 10/11 on H2 09/10, aided by some heroic (and, frankly, uncharacteristic) cost cutting efforts, with Vodafone’s cost profligacy days apparently behind it

The outlook for next quarter is poor due to the UK MTR cut, but we then expect revenue growth to steadily improve for the rest of the year, with smartphone-driven data growth a help rather than a hindrance

Vodafone December quarter update: inflection attained

Vodafone’s European revenue growth improved by 1.4 percentage points in the December 2009 quarter to reach -3.2%, the first improvement since the start of the economic slowdown in 2008

While data revenue is growing fast in absolute terms, its contribution to growth is flat to slightly down, with the main driver being more traditional services improving due to the recovery in year-on-year GDP growth

We expect revenue growth to continue to improve as economic comparables improve, with a return to positive growth likely by the end of 2010

Vodafone chooses wholesale broadband from BT

Vodafone is taking the first step in implementing its convergence strategy in the UK by buying broadband from BT Wholesale; while we believe the strategy is misguided, Vodafone’s approach is at least cautious

The company is at least unlikely to be losing money on the product, and is perhaps just sensibly testing the water for positive consumer interest in a bundled package from Vodafone

We expect the water to be very cold - results from Orange, NTL and BT suggest continued very low consumer interest in fixed-mobile convergence, and we doubt that Vodafone will fare much better

Vodafone and Cable & Wireless Worldwide: a UK telecoms milestone in prospect

Vodafone’s proposed acquisition of Cable & Wireless Worldwide is far from a done deal and is unlikely to be completed until September

The cost synergies are real but likely slim, with the main rationale being to cost effectively expand Vodafone’s fixed enterprise business in the UK, and to gain the expertise to do this elsewhere

The impact of an acquisition, while gradual, would reverberate for years to come. Wireline wholesalers, then corporate service retailers would be affected, notably BT. Later, the impact could spread to the small business segment. The prospect of Vodafone’s re-entry into the UK residential wireline market would remain distant but more likely

Vodafone 360 - all spin?

Vodafone has launched a suite of internet services, platforms and handsets under the ‘Vodafone 360’ umbrella brand

Our views are mixed: we applaud the contacts back-up service that will be available across a wide range of handsets, provided it proves user friendly, but are puzzled by the point of a Vodafone-designed user interface built onto a fairly obscure smartphone operating system

Overall, if Vodafone 360 can stimulate data usage amongst low- to mid-end handset users, Vodafone would profit in both revenue and loyalty terms, but competing at the high end with the likes of Apple, RIM and Google strikes us as both needless and futile

Здравствуйте, уважаемые читатели!

  Из тренинга "Экспресс-грамматика" -  120 английских предлогов

 Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location, such as a department store or kiosk, or by post, in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser. Retailing may include subordinated services, such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or businesses. In commerce, a retailer buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user. Retail establishments are often called shops or stores. Retailers are at the end of the supply chain. Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy.

There are several ways in which consumers can receive goods from a retailer:

  • Counter service, where goods are out of reach of buyers, and must be obtained from the seller. This type of retail is common for small expensive items (e.g. jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor. It was common before the 1900s in the United States, and is more common in certain countries.

  • Delivery (commerce), where goods are shipped directly to consumer's homes or workplaces. Mail order from a printed catalog was invented in 1744 and common in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Ordering by telephone is now common, either from a catalog, newspaper or television advertisement, or local restaurant menu for immediate service (especially for pizza delivery). Direct marketing (including telemarketing) and television shopping channels are also used to generate telephone orders. Online shopping started gaining significant market share in developed countries in the 2000s.

  • Door-to-door sales where the salesperson sometimes travels with the goods for sale.

  • Self-service, where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase, has become more common since the 1920s.

How to Make a Great First Impression - продолжение

Be positive
Sometimes you can go in all positive in a first meeting. Sometimes it may not be the best approach to go in too positive as it can be seen as bit abrasive or inappropriate. A better way to convey a positive attitude in a first meeting can then be to read the mood of person(s) before you start talking – by just watching them - and then match it for a short while. Then - when you have an emotional connection and the other person feels you are similar to him/her - you can let your positivity arise a bit more. Regardless if you start out positive from the get-go or a short, short while into the meeting, be sure to positive. If you, for instance, start a first meeting by complaining, there´s a big chance the people you meet will mentally label you as a complainer or a negative person.

Don’t think too much
Try, as much as possible, to stay outside of your head and focus on the people you are talking to rather than focusing on yourself.

Mentally rehearse before you even enter the room
Visualize how great the events will unfold - see and hear it - and also how great will you feel at this meeting.

See yourself smiling, being positive, open and having a great time. See the excellent outcome in your mind. Then release by visualizing that it has already happened, that the meeting is over with the desired result. This is surprisingly effective and will get you into a great and relaxed mood before even stepping into the first, second or twentieth meeting.

You may also want to check out the ever-popular Do you make these 10 mistakes in conversation? for more information on stuff like listening, hogging the spot-light, what to talk about (and not to talk about) and the very common need to be right.

What you say isn´t that important
I´d say that mental rehearsal followed by acting as if you´re meeting a friend are the most important parts of all of this. They often solve the rest of pointers in this article unconsciously and automatically and keeps your thoughts focused outwards instead of inwards.

The problem with an inward-focused meeting - where you focus on what you just said, how you look and what the other person thinks of you right now - can reduce anyone to a bumbling, second-guessing, fidgeting shadow of their former self as the self-consciousness becomes almost paralyzing.

Also, as long as you try to use the first and the last point it doesn’t really matter too much what word or phrase you use to start the conversation. The words are only 7 percent of your communication. 93 percent is in your tone of voice and your body-language.

So, a simple “Hi!” may do just fine.

Old Testament: Proverbs

Related Periods:

Solomon, Ingobertus (ca 880)The book of Proverbs is a collection of essays, poems, and sayings expressing the wisdom of ancient Israel. Some of the material probably originated as folk wisdom, circulating in the family or the clan. Other parts reflect the life of the royal court. Arrangement began during the time of Solomon (about 961-922 B.C.E.), and the final edition was likely produced during the exile in Babylon (about 587-539 B.C.E.). Jeremiah 18:18 refers to the priest, the wise, and the prophet as leaders in Israel; the book of Proverbs is the product of the work of "the wise."

So What?

One does not need to deal with the big questions each day, like the meaning of life or the problem of evil or why bad things happen to good people. In day by day living there are all sorts of smaller questions: How should I handle my financial affairs? How should I relate to friends and colleagues? What about falling in love? What can I do to maintain a healthy marriage? How can I responsibly help the poor? These are the sorts of things that the book of Proverbs can help with. If the major theme in the Psalms is the praise of God in heaven, the chief concern of Proverbs is the pursuit of a happy and good life on earth.

Where Do I Find It?

Proverbs is the twentieth book of the Old Testament, falling immediately after Psalms and just before Ecclesiastes.

Who Wrote It?

The book came into being through a long process. Some of these sayings no doubt originated with Solomon or with those in his court (1 Kings 4:29-34; Proverbs 1:1; 10:1; 25:1). Much of it originated in folk wisdom of the sort found in all cultures at all times. Other parts were composed as essays or poems (chapters 1-9, 31). As is characteristic of such materials, the names of the composers and poets are mostly lost to us.

When Was It Written?

The original impetus for the collection of folk wisdom and also much new composition likely came during the time of Solomon, around 961-922 B.C.E. These materials were preserved, collected, expanded, and edited by persons in the royal courts (25:1). The book was likely put into its final form during the flurry of literary activity which took place in the period of the Babylonian exile and beyond (587 B.C.E. and after).

What's It About?

The book of Proverbs is a manual for conducting one's everyday affairs in a manner that is happy and successful in worldly matters and responsible before God.

How Do I Read It?

Proverbs lends itself to being read a chapter a day, matching the number of the day of the month (there are 31 chapters). The short sayings should be taken individually, like a variety of expensive chocolates in a gift box. Some may be enjoyed and savored; others can be swallowed quickly or even skipped over.

AUTHOR: James Limburg, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

I.    Title (Proverbs 1:1)
As is often the case with biblical books, the first sentence stands as the title for the entire book (see also Ecclesiastes 1:1; Song of Solomon 1:1; Isaiah 1:1).

II.    Instructional Essays (Proverbs 1:2-9:18)
The thematic statement, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom," frames this opening section (1:7; 9:10). The purpose of the book is stated in 1:2-7. Dominated by imperative verbs, 1:8-9:18 takes the form of instruction.

III.    Proverbs Associated with Solomon (Proverbs 10:1-22:16)
This segment consists mainly of short sayings or "proverbs" dealing with a variety of topics. Such sayings are characterized by shortness, sense, and salt.

IV.    Words of the Wise (Proverbs 22:17-24:22)
A good many of the sayings in this section have parallels in the Egyptian wisdom collection, The Wisdom of Amenemope.

V.    More Words from the Wise (Proverbs 24:23-34)
Noteworthy in this short collection of sayings is the use of the "autobiographical stylization" form in 24:30-34.

VI.    Proverbs of Solomon Collected by Hezekiah's People (Proverbs 25:1-29:27)
Here is a collection of miscellaneous sayings gathered at the time of Solomon (about 961-922 B.C.E.), then preserved in the royal libraries and passed on with expansions and annotations at the time of Hezekiah (about 715-687 B.C.E.)

VII.    Words of Agur (Proverbs 30:1-33)
The identity of Agur is not known; of interest in this section is the series of numerical sayings in verses 7-9, 15-16, 18-19, 21-23, 24-28, 29-31.

VIII.    Words of King Lemuel (Proverbs 31:1-9) and the ABCs of a Capable Wife (Proverbs 31:10-31)
The identity of this king is not known. In the original Hebrew, each of the verses in 10-31 begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, for ease in memorization.

AUTHOR: James Limburg, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

The short sayings (the bulk of the material in chapters 10-30) probably originated as folk wisdom, generated, preserved, and passed on in the spheres of the clan and the family. Every culture (including our own) is concerned with passing on advice to the next generations about how to get along in the world. In the ancient world this preserving and passing on of such wisdom took place within the family and the tribe; in our day we might speak of the family and various educational institutions. As this folk and family wisdom was passed on, it began to be written down and collected, arranged according to content or form or other criteria that are not clear to us. Such collections became the beginnings of the book of Proverbs. The book is framed by essays and longer poems (chapters 1-9 and 31) that appear to have taken written form quite early.

These collections seem to have been used in some sort of school. Several hints point in this direction. When young David arrived at the court of Saul, for example, he was described as already educated, "skillful in playing, a man of valor, a warrior, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence; and the LORD is with him" (1 Samuel 16:18). The various rhetorical forms found in Proverbs also point to the use of these materials in teaching situations.

It appears that the materials in Proverbs also functioned as part of an educational program in the royal court. Just as Moses was associated with biblical law and David with the Psalms, biblical wisdom materials are associated with King Solomon (Proverbs 1:1; 10:1; 25:1), who ruled over Israel from about 961 to 922 B.C.E. Solomon was an internationalist who held David's empire together (1 Kings 4:20-28). Such an empire required a huge staff just to keep it functioning. There was no doubt some sort of "internship" or training program for young people being prepared to take positions in Jerusalem. Hints throughout Proverbs suggest that the material functioned in such a manner. For example, directions about how to behave properly when sitting down to eat with royalty assume that those receiving this instruction will one day have such an opportunity (Proverbs 23:1-3).

AUTHOR: James Limburg, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

•    Alphabetical acrostic poem. This literary genre appears in the Hebrew text in 31:10-31. The alphabetical acrostic was beloved by biblical writers (see Psalms 9-10; 25; 34; 111; 112; 145; and especially 119), probably as a memory-aiding device. Testimony to the effectiveness of the alphabetical acrostic is the fact that most persons of my generation can sing or recite from memory the words to "The Alphabet Love Song," "'A,' you're adorable, 'B,' you're so beautiful…," which was a hit in the late 1940s (words and original music by Buddy Kaye, Fred Wise, and Sidney Lippman; copyright © 1948, Music of the Times Publishing Corporation). Scholars continue to find new hidden or obvious acrostics in biblical literature.

•    Autobiographical stylizing (24:30-34). Every speaker uses the device of reporting a real or imagined first-person observation and then drawing a conclusion from it. "A funny thing happened to me on the way to this meeting…." Notice that the "punch line" in verses 33-34 must have been a saying that circulated independently; it occurs in another setting in 6:10-11. See also Psalm 37:25, 35-36 and Sirach 51:13-30 for further first-person materials.

•    "Better x than y" statements. Some of these forms were likely invented just for the sheer aesthetic delight, much as one might enjoy composing limericks or rhymes. Examples in Proverbs include: 16:8, 19; 17:1, 12; 21:19; 22:1; 25:7, 24; 27:5; 27:10b; see also Ecclesiastes 4:6, 13; 7:2, 3, 5, 8; Sirach 40:18-27. The genre might also serve a pedagogical purpose: one can imagine a teacher asking, "What is better than a house full of feasting with strife?" and a pupil answering, "A dry morsel with quiet." "And what does this mean?" the ancient or modern teacher might continue, setting the scene for a discussion of family life.

•    Gender issues. Since much of the material in the book was originally intended for young men who would grow up to take positions of leadership in the government, efforts must be made to address the materials in ways also relevant to feminine readers. The warnings against the "loose woman" in chapters 5 and 7 will obviously have to be considered in the context of sexual responsibility in general. When read in the context of family devotions, the reader may have to exercise editorial freedom to adjust or even excise certain passages.

•    Instruction or imperative speeches. These speeches in chapters 1-9 and 22:17-24:22 are dominated by the imperative mood. Crucial to the interpretation of each of these pieces is the identification of the subunits within each chapter. For example: chapter 1 consists of 1:1-7, 8-19 and 20-33; one's own sense of style or a good study Bible will be helpful in this task. The use of the imperative mood means that the material was designed to be used for providing advice or instruction to an individual or a group. While chapters 1-9 were formerly considered to be the latest material in the book, recent scholarship contests that view.

•    Numerical sayings in the form x, x+1. These were also probably composed for aesthetic delight; see 6:16-19; 30:15b-16; 18-19; 21-23; 24-28; 29-31. Once again the form lends itself to teaching, with the teacher asking: "Name three or four things that are small but wise" (30:24-28). Or "Name three or four things that evoke wonder" (30:18-19). Discussions would easily follow.

•    Riddles. There are a few examples of the riddle in biblical literature. Again, the form is a playful one that lends itself to a pedagogical setting: "Who has woe? Who has sorrow?...Who has redness of eyes?" (23:29). Note that this is a real question-and-answer riddle with the answer in 23:30-35. The piece is obviously a warning against excessive drinking; a discussion of proper use of wine could follow. Note other examples of riddles in Judges 14:12-14 and 1 Kings 10:1-3. First Esdras 3 and 4 shows some royal bodyguards passing the time with word games!

•    Short sayings in the form of antithetic parallelism. These dominate chapters 10-30 of the book. For clear examples note the sayings in 10:4, 5, 7; 11:1, 12, 13, 14, 15. These sayings can be taken one at a time, read, reflected on, or discussed.

•    Similes. A tip for interpreting similes (comparisons using "like" or "as"): begin by concentrating on the "like" half of the saying ("Like a gold ring in a pig's snout" 11:22; what is the point of picturing a gold ring in a swine's snout?) and then moving on to the comparison (in both cases there is a waste of beauty); see also 25:3, 11-14, 18-20, 25-26, 28, and others. These sayings could also point to a pedagogical setting, with the teacher asking, "Why are these two alike?" Thus, "Why is a word fitly spoken like a beautiful piece of jewelry?" and an answer, "Using just the right word at just the right time is an experience of truth and beauty."

AUTHOR: James Limburg, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

•    The fear of the Lord. The sense of "fear" is not "to be afraid of" but to honor or respect. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom" frames the first section of the book (1:7; 9:10; see also 15:33; Psalm 111:10; Job 28:28) and "fear of the LORD" runs through the entire collection like a pedal note on a pipe organ, describing the right attitude of the person seeking wisdom (see, for example, Proverbs 1:29; 2:5; 3:7; 8:13; 16:6).

•    Friendship. Living responsibly under God means practicing friendship and neighborliness. "A friend loves at all times" (17:17a); also 14:20-21; 18:24; 19:4, 6; 25:17; 27:6, 10, 14.

•    God the beginning. The first element in the wisdom that this biblical book advocates is a right relationship with God. The human side of this relationship is expressed in the notion of "the fear of the Lord."

•    God the Creator. The God encountered in Proverbs is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Put plainly in 3:19, "The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens"; see also 8:22-31. Absent from this book is a recital of God's mighty acts in history; these themes are dealt with elsewhere (see, for example, Deuteronomy 26:1-15; Joshua 24:1-28; Psalms 105; 114; 136:10-26; Hosea 11:1-11).

•    God the guide and sustainer. The Creator has not abandoned the creation to run on its own (deism). God is continually working out God's purposes in, with, and under the events happening on earth: "The human mind plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps" (16:9); see also 16:3; 19:21; 20:24; 21:30-31.

•    God the universal God of all peoples. The materials in Proverbs are not directed only to Israel. Wisdom does not cry out in the temples or synagogues, but in the public square, in the city gates, at the crossroads where people from all nations are gathered or passing through (1:20; 8:1-2). The wisdom teachers are open to good instructional materials from outside Israel; much of 22:17-24:22 has been appropriated from the teachers of Egypt.

•    Happiness. Living responsibly under God means finding happiness by getting wisdom. "She [wisdom] is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her" (3:15). Godly wisdom is the way to happiness. And the way to godly wisdom is to get started by honoring God (1:7).

•    Humility. Living responsibly under God means practicing humility. "Let another praise you, and not your own mouth…" (27:2); also 6:16-19; 16:5; 18-19.

•    Living responsibly under God. The major concern of the book is not to teach about God, but rather to teach how one ought to live a responsible and happy life on earth. Though much of the book contains what might be called secular wisdom, that wisdom is always "under God."

•    Marriage. Living responsibly under God includes enjoying and appreciating marriage as God's gift. "House and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD" (19:14); also 5:15-19. Appreciating one's spouse is advised in the context of the alphabetical acrostic in 31:10-31.

•    Parents. Living responsibly under God means honoring parents. "My child, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching" (6:20); see also 6:21-22; 15:5; 22:6; 23:22.

•    The powerless. Living responsibly under God includes helping the poor, the widow, and the orphan, both as individuals (14:21; 21:13; 22:9; 22:22-23; 23:10-11; 28:27; 29:7; 31:20, among many more examples) and as individuals in government. Such help is understood as the special responsibility of those in positions of power. "If a king judges the poor with equity, his throne will be established forever" (29:14; see also 28:15; 31:8-9).

•    Sexual promiscuity. Living responsibly under God means avoiding sexual promiscuity. The consequences of such promiscuous living are nothing less than death (7:27 as part of 7:6-27); also 5:1-14, 20-23.

•    Speaking and silence. Living responsibly under God includes gaining skill in the use of words and of silence. "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver" (25:11). See also 11:13; 13:3; 14:7; 17:28; 18:2, 21; 21:23; 26:23; 29:11, 20; and Sirach 20:5-8.

•    Woman Wisdom. Wisdom is personified as a woman in Proverbs 1, 8, and 9 (and also in Job 28 and later in Sirach 24 and Wisdom of Solomon 7:7-9:18). Wisdom is a feminine noun in Hebrew (hokmah), as it is in Greek (sophia), but the personification of wisdom in the Old Testament is more than merely a grammatical issue. Woman Wisdom becomes a significant personal agent through which God works, especially in creation itself, in some ways not unlike the personified Word or Logos in John 1.

•    Work. Living responsibly under God means being diligent in one's work. "The hand of the diligent will rule, while the lazy will be put to forced labor" (12:24); also 6:6-11; 10:4-5; 12:11; 20:13; 26:13-16.

Roger Goodell says 'ideal scenario' would be to keep Raiders and Chargers in place

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The San Diego Chargers may join the Rams in Los Angeles and the Oakland Raiders could relocate to Las Vegas, but the "ideal scenario" would be for both of those franchises to remain put, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Rams' new stadium on Thursday.

"If we get our issues resolved in San Diego, and our issues resolved in Oakland, I think that's the ideal solution, frankly," Goodell said. "I think that's what we would all like to see happen. But there's a lot that has to get done in those two communities to get there."

The Chargers' hopes of remaining in San Diego suffered a major setback last week, when the organization received only 43 percent approval for a proposed $1.8 billion stadium and convention center that would have raised hotel taxes in order to secure most of the funding. Two-thirds approval was required.

Now the popular belief is that the Chargers must head north. They have the option of being a tenant in the stadium project in Inglewood, which will open for the 2019 season. As part of the Rams' relocation agreement, approved earlier this year by NFL owners, the Chargers have until Jan. 15 to decide whether they want to join the Rams in Los Angeles as a second NFL team in a market that went more than 20 years without so much as one.

The Rams' stadium project, costing an estimated $2.6 billion, is being built with amenities that can house two teams, Rams COO Kevin Demoff said.

"We follow their progress in San Diego," Demoff added. "I know [Chargers president and CEO Dean Spanos] and [Rams owner Stan Kroenke] talk regularly. Dean keeps Stan updated on their progress, and we have a deal in place for them to come here if they still want to exercise that option by Jan. 15. The ball is really on their court. They can decide what they would want to do. We would welcome them with open arms, and if not them, we'd certainly welcome the Raiders with open arms."

The Raiders would have the opportunity to join the Rams if the Chargers ultimately find a way to stay in San Diego, their home since 1961. Las Vegas approved $750 million in public funds to help build a new stadium for the Raiders, who must now get approval from three-quarters of the NFL owners in order to relocate.

Many believe the Raiders' move to Vegas is inevitable, similar to the Chargers' move to L.A., but Goodell made the NFL's intentions clear.

"We'd love to get something done in Oakland, but if they do file a relocation, we'll evaluate that and make sure that we look at it as far as the market issues is concerned," Goodell told the local media in Los Angeles. "We're very thorough on relocation, as you guys know."

Liquid Bulba Interview

ESPN recently conducted an interview of Liquid Bulba. Here are some excerpts from that interview.

Read the interview below :

Switching roles can be a challenge for even seasoned Dota veterans. Moving from one lane to another means adjusting your positioning, your mentality, your entire playstyle. Kanishka Sosale, known to friends as “Sam” and the Dota world as “BuLba,” hasn’t only changed roles this year; in fact, he has switched teams more than most players ever have in a single year.

Sosale, 25, has been a member of four different teams in 2016, culminating in his new role on Team Liquid as a support. It could be a challenge for anyone to make that radical of a switch, but Sosale doesn’t just have experience on his side. Having acquired new skills while playing middle and offlane for many teams, he is prepared to make adjustments.

“I think playing support actually fits a lot of the strengths I’ve gained in the last year,” Sosale told ESPN. “I think I’m fine playing all support heroes.”

A rocky start

Sosale has had a tumultuous career in Dota. Despite being one of the most well-known veterans of the North American scene, the past few years have been checkered. The player who popularized offlane Clockwerk and who inspired the infamous “Liquid are doing it” catchphrase, has found himself between teams frequently this past year.

His season started at Digital Chaos, a small team at the time, where he played alongside Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling. After a mixed season, an offer came to the two from Evil Geniuses, two days before the roster lock.

“That was a really hard decision,” said Sosale. “Because we had something good going on with the team [DC].”

After thinking it over for a while, Sosale and Ling made the jump to Evil Geniuses, a team that Sosale felt was going well at the beginning. The team put up a solid performance at WePlay Dota 2 League Season 3, and spirits were high. Then came Epicenter.

“That’s when we started drifting apart,” said Sosale. “There was a lot of animosity between certain players on the team.”

Sosale described to me a pressure-filled environment. There were aspirations to live up to, with the kind of talent EG had available if things went south, and the fifth-sixth finish at Epicenter didn’t build any confidence.

“I felt some of the EG members didn’t really care as much as they normally did before,” said Sosale. “I thought they were kind of just waiting for Manila Major to end, so they could just replace one of us.”

The team’s 13-16th place Manila Major results cemented the inevitable. Changes needed to come for Evil Geniuses, and failure to achieve success at the Major “definitely contributed” to Ling and Sosale’s release from the roster, as Sosale himself described it.

Secret tensions

In the post-Manila trade, Sosale found himself at Team Secret, a roster that had suffered similar failures in Manila. He said Secret and EG shared another similarity: a growing sense of bad blood between teammates.

“Before I joined the team, there was a lot of animosity between certain members on our team too,” said Sosale. “It’s kind of shared, with EG and Secret, having personal conflicts on the team as we joined.”

As he described it, animosity within teams “is usually related to whether teams are losing or not.” When the wins are coming in, it’s easy to be friends and compete together, but the greatest test of teams is how they react to defeat, especially for the five players on roster.

“It’s harder to fix Dota teams, in general, than other sports teams,” said Sosale.

Despite that, bringing on Sosale as a player and later Ling as a coach helped ease tensions within the team. Sosale said that Secret was bonding, taking pictures together, going out to eat and playing games together.

The good times wouldn’t last though, as the LAN losses began to stack up. The tipping point for Team Secret was, in Sosale’s opinion, the StarLadder Grand Finals. Secret went into a finals series against Natus Vincere feeling confident, coming off the first half of their TI boot camp having beaten everyone the team scrimmed. The 3-1 loss to Na’Vi though, even though it was in the Grand Finals, tilted Secret.

“Suddenly, it [felt] like the team [was] really bad at dealing with losses,” said Sosale. “There’s just one second place, and all the stuff that happened before on the team came back. I could sense there’s so much animosity between people; the atmosphere became way worse. It was harder to play for everyone.”

“It was a cancerous environment,” Sosale added.

An environment that carried over into the second half of Secret’s TI boot camp. Sosale described the second boot camp week as “hell” and it was like “night and day” compared to the Secret before StarLadder. There was plenty of potential in Secret, according to Sosale, but the problems kept stacking up.

“I think our problem with the team was maybe there was too many egos on the team,” said Sosale. “Too many people that, instead of just taking responsibility for what had happened, saying we just played bad as a team, they just point at each other instead. No one wanted to take blame for anything that went wrong. People didn’t work together like they used to.”

Scrims led to conflict, as multiple voices started speaking out after losses. The phrase “too many cooks in the kitchen” might be conservative in terms of the intensity in the air; Sosale told me there were two coaches and five players in the room, and “everyone had a different opinion on what went wrong.”

“I don’t like when people scapegoat each other on teams, because in the end, everyone can take some blame,” said Sosale. “If you all take blame, it also helps build confidence for each other, and trust for each other, you know?”

The subsequent results at The International 6 spoke for themselves. Secret failed to live up to its potential, a performance Sosale describes as a “huge train wreck.” The shot at the Aegis came and went for this all-star team, and thoughts began to drift to the fall roster shuffle.

Before all the drama, before the many other rosters, Sosale had made a name for himself on Team Liquid. Playing in the mid lane, his Tinker and Invoker were well-known and feared. Now he returns to Liquid to fill the four-five support role, an offer that surprised Sosale. He had been in talks with Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao, working to create what would become Team NP.

“I really liked EnVy, I love playing with him a lot and I really liked him as a person,” said Sosale. “I was really good friends with [Theeban “1437” Siva] and Aui, as well. We just wanted to make a team of friends, and try and make a team that gets along with each other.”

Sosale had heard rumblings about Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka’s departure from TL for OG, but didn’t know for sure until he was approached by Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi to fill the spot. Sosale found himself caught in a difficult situation, between a team of friends and returning to Liquid.

“I debated about it, and I just said, ‘I’m going to do Liquid,'” said Sosale. “I really want to play with ‘Kuro’ and ‘Mind_Control’ and ‘MATUMBAMAN’. At the time, we didn’t know who our mid player was going to be, but I knew I really wanted to play with those three.”

Now, Sosale is in a short break period before the 2017 season starts. He’s preparing for a role he hasn’t played in a long time, but the “BuLba” of today has grown a great deal.

“I’ve played the five position before, I’ve played support before, but I was really inexperienced,” Sosale says about his early support play. Now, though, Sosale has learned and grown from his years in competitive Dota.

“I’ve been through all these teams and I know what my weaknesses are as well, so [I want to] work on those,” said Sosale.

“I don’t know, maybe it sounds like a big cliché,” Sosale tells me. “But going through all these things, all these losses and defeats, really makes you think about stuff.”

Though the fall has been unexpectedly quiet for him, “BuLba” has been busy playing in mixed scrims, honing his support skills and training for the upcoming season. He said he’ll miss playing offlane, especially his Dark Seer and Sand King, but he’s excited to play support and to rejoin the Liquid organization.

A lot of the people I used to know before on the team are still the same,” said Sosale. “So I have quite a bit of friends. All my favorite memories from Dota were from Liquid too.”

Sosale has support from his captain “KuroKy” and managers like Mohamed Morad. He’s training to hopefully co-captain alongside “Kuro,” a role he feels confident in and wants to play in Liquid. The last year has been tumultuous for “BuLba,” but a homecoming to Team Liquid seems to be the perfect fit for North American Dota’s wayward son.

Are You Missing SEM Traffic?
AdWords Tools for Success

Today there are over 3.5 billion Google searches performed each day and around another 2 billion on Bing. Obviously, a lot of these searches are in no way going to provide useful traffic to your business and those who manage Search Engine Advertising try to use tools at their disposal to qualify clicks as far as possible (Ad messaging, the keywords that are bid on and the tightness of the match types used, amongst other things). But if you go too far in these efforts, it very possible to miss out on large amounts of searches and customers that are relevant to your business.

To ensure that you are reaching the largest amount of people that might be interested in what you have to offer, it’s important to consider the below growth options. They do often require more intensive management time to optimize but they can often be worth it.

For those who are not clear on Match types, this article will fill you in.

Broad Match: runs your campaigns on searches that aren’t necessarily in your keywords list, but would still be broadly relevant to the product or service that you offer. This can be refined significantly by using the “+” modifier next to a term in your keyword – where this is used, the term tagged with this will have to be present in the search that is matched – “mens fluffy +slippers” will match to “cheap slippers” but not “mens fluffy sweaters”, for example.

So by judiciously using this match type you can hope to win some ad space against the 1 in 6 searches that have never been seen before. You can also use this traffic to fish for repeated searches you haven’t yet bid on to add to your keyword list.

Phrase Match: the ad shows when the user searches your keyword phrase with extra terms before and after or a close variation of the phrase itself. This is tighter than Broad but way broader than Exact Match and, when managed right – excluding Exact terms or bidding less than Exact – you can still get some valuable new traffic.

In addition to ads that are based on the keywords, Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs) can can create advertisements based on your website.

Dynamic Search Ads: use your website to tailor advertisements to potential customers who are searching relevant keywords. Headlines are written and landing pages are chosen from your site automatically in order to be relevant to the search terms made by a user in real time. DSAs do not involve bidding on keywords, instead you nominate a section or sections of your website.

To ensure you don’t take traffic you’re rather have come through your keywords and other campaigns, you should bid less on DSAs than the broad keywords. The great part of this is that you will get traffic you may not get elsewhere and is a great way to take advantage of peak traffic periods. Also, if you just don’t have the staff resources to look after a large product portfolio, DSAs can help get you some relevant ads without needing to construct and manage massive keyword collections.

To get the best out of DSAs, though, you do need to add lots of negative keywords and manage your bids carefully.

So these types of approach can get you some useful, cheap, and otherwise missed extra traffic and sales for you. The main thing to bare in mind, however, is that they all take a bit more manual nuancing to make them work and they won’t work perfectly (e.g. profitably) right out of the gate.

If you would like to hear more about how these advertisements can benefit your campaigns, tweet at us @ESV_Digital or follow us on LinkedIn.

Home Improvements Still Going On

Home improvements and repairs are currently going. I guess this is a long term project.  There are still a lot of rooms to be repaired and other things to be improved in our home. From time to time, things get better. When finances are available, we do some home renovation every year. This is better as spending money on useless things. I guess, you know what I mean about it. We don’t have vices like drinking alcohol and smoking. We better spend the money on home improvements.

This is the reason why someone in the house went to the hardware stores some weeks ago to check for some materials to be used in home renovation. Next project will be the changing of a new door. Hubby check some instrument knobs and other stuffs he needs in replacing our door. We need to change it because there is a discrepancy with the door. Good to know that there is a 10-year warranty with the door we bought two years ago.

Hopefully next month, hubby will already begin with the renovation. I am glad that we are making our home a better abode to live in. Life simply  gets  better and more comfortable.

iyanla vanzant*If you missed the DMX episode of Iyanla Vanzant’s OWN show, “Fix My Life,” you missed some real drama and a harsh reality.

The rapper made a big fuss on the show when he and the life coach went at each other’s throats and he also blew up at his son, Xavier.

The show didn’t end well, but Iyanla addressed an open letter to the troubled rapper.

I know we haven’t spoken since our time together in Yonkers. And what I’m hearing is that they are just waiting for the call. They are waiting for the day they get the call. And you know what I mean.

But I’m not waiting for that call. I’m calling on you, and I’m not going to give up on you. I will not stand by and watch my brother die.

Over the years, I’ve worked with many, many people who’ve struggled with addiction.

With help, healing is possible.

I want you to remember the person you became in the final months of your grandmother’s life. That’s a clean life. You can be that man today and every day. Just remember what your son said to you, “
I want a relationship with you that is not toxic.

My brother, Earl, DMX, I support you. I love you and I’m calling on all of my beloveds…to send you their love and support.

I know that there is no valley deep enough, no gap wide enough that love can’t conquer.

My door is always open.

Check out the video:
