Link Love: January 24, 2010

I seem to be pulling out of that slump I was in for the past couple of weeks with my at-home freelance work. My copywriting is going faster, and easier, and I’m also feeling fired up for Freelance Success‘s regular query challenge, which starts tomorrow, and for which I’m actually a team leader (talk about accountability…). On top of all that, I’m loving my part-time, on-site job more and more every day (which happens to make life — and my commute — a lot less gloomy). How is everyone else weathering the long winter?

Okay, okay. I know what you’re here for. This week’s link love:

Christmas Link Love

Merry Christmas from me and the fam! (We’re all so excited, we’re doing jazz hands for you.)

I am, at this moment, probably exchanging gifts with my husband (I totally bought him a stress ball shaped like a boob from the Museum of Sex! Among other things…). But I still wanted to give those of you still hooked up to your computers something to read today. After the jump, this week’s link love:

Link Love – December 18, 2009

Hey there guys! Before I give you your link love for the week, I’d like to indulge in a little bit of self-promotion. I’m thrilled and honored to report that Brazen Careerist has named me as one of the nominees in their Top 50 Blog Posts of 2009/Blogger of the Year contest! There are a lot of great writers on the list, and it feels pretty darn good to be among them. If you find me worthy of top honors, however, I’d appreciate your vote! Instructions — and a link to the other nominees — are at the link above but, really, all you have to do is tweet the following:

I’m voting for @stephauteri’s post in the #Brazen Careerist #BestOf 2009 contest:

Hashtags, URL, and all. (That link, by the way, leads to my winning blog post.) I’d appreciate any Twitter love you can give me! (Plus, your votes enter you for a chance to win a Starbucks gift card. Coffee = Major Win.)

And now that I’ve gotten that out of the way… [Read more…]

Link Love: December 12

Hey there. Remember me? I’m Steph, your friendly neighborhood blogger, who just happened to drop off the face of the blogosphere due to her new, part-time freelance gig as Assistant Editor for YourTango, in addition to other copywriting, newspaper, and magazine deadlines. And career coaching teleclasses. Not to mention Christmas.

As you can imagine, I’ve saved up quite a few links for your reading pleasure in the past few weeks. Please read them instead of dwelling upon how I’ve let you down:

Link Love: November 21

What a week! It started out on a somber note, with an overnight trip down to MD for a cousin’s funeral, but quickly turned around, with a job offer, my very first career coaching teleclass, and some exciting new projects. Excitement!

While I go do my happy dance (again), I’ll leave you to read this week’s link love:

Link Love: October 17

What a week.

On Monday, I braved a bus ride into the city in order to interview for a sweet-sounding part-time gig with a web magazine I’ve always admired. Both the office environment and the job description were even more compelling than I [Read more…]

Link Love: October 9

Last night, I watched my CNN segment air on the local news and — as I sat there cringing while the camera zoomed in on the framed engagement photo hanging on the wall — it hit me: Not only am I potentially embarrassing myself, but I’m also potentially embarrassing my family. Who wants to be associated with the slightly overweight shopaholic who lied to her husband about her purchases, eventually racking up thousands of dollars in debt!? Luckily, my family is understanding, and excited about the media attention I’ve received. My mother half-jokingly told me she thought I did well…but was glad I was identified by my married name. Thank god because, as a writer (and especially as a sex writer), almost everything I do revolves around self-disclosure.

Aside from that bit of excitement, the week wasn’t incredibly productive. I’ve been sick, and have felt less than motivated. But I did squeeze some reading in:

Link Love: October 2

It’s been quite the week. I’ve welcomed a news crew into my home. Gotten started on my career coaching certification program. Upped my posting frequency. Drawn up some lofty goals. And all while coming down with something I fear is the flu. Here’s hoping I can keep up with everything I have planned for myself. At least if I crack under, you’ll have these writers to turn to:

What a week. I made headway on my book proposal and started my career coaching certification program. And this weekend, I’m visiting the last huge chunk of wineries in NJ for my regional magazine piece. I feel pooped, but it’s a good kind of pooped. What helped and inspired me along the way? Check it:

Link Love: September 18

Ah…the end of another rollercoaster of a week. On the frustrating end, I’ve continued to get mixed signals from a client who doesn’t know what he wants, forcing me to consider walking away forever. On the more exciting end, I’ve decided to recast the ebook I’ve been working in into a book proposal, and plan to send it around to agents by the end of the month (someone: threaten me with an awful punishment so that I don’t flake out). Plus, I have pieces coming out in both Time Out NY and NY Press in the coming weeks, and I’ve finally received my starting materials for my career coaching certification program (!!!). Oh, and I’m about leave on a trip to South Jersey, which will serve as both vacation and research trip as my husband and I visit a number of wineries in both the Atlantic City and Cape May areas. Whee!

Before I go, though, here’s this week’s link love:

The step-by-step guide to setting up your Shopify website for success

It’s 2020, and ecommerce is still one of the best ways to set up a booming business.

Trouble is, even if you want to build an ecommerce empire, you might not have the expertise to create a full-blown ecommerce website. After all, creating a shopping site takes time, money and above all technical expertise.

Well, that used to be true.

Once upon a time.

But not anymore.

Enter Shopify, one the greatest and best web development platforms for ecommerce businesses. Using the service, you can easily create your own ecommerce website in a few simple steps, and bang! You’re ready for business.

With Shopify, you don’t have to worry about coding shopping carts and integrating payment gateways. Everything can be done from the comfort of the app itself. And the best part: you don’t have to be a coding whiz to do it all.

Using the platform’s simple graphical user interface, you can set up your own ecommerce store and be up and running within a very, very short period of time. Perhaps even in the time it takes for you to read through this entire guide.

But how can you do that, you’re wondering?

To help you answer that question, we have decided to create this ultimate guide on how to create Shopify websites. After going through this, you’ll be all set to set up your own ecommerce storefront in no time.

Let’s not dally any longer and begin.

Shopify pros and cons

Shopify is one of the leading ecommerce platforms in the world, and with good reason. It's easy to set up, it offers some great, mobile responsive templates and you can even mess around with the code if you want to customize your site to your liking.

Shopify is also extremely scalable. It grows right alongside your business, from side hustle to full-fledged enterprise. It also offers 24/7 customer support in case your run into any problems, and there are a range of apps you can add to give your site more functionality and better manage your customer base and inventory.

But Shopify isn't without its downsides. It's … OK … for SEO. That's about as glowing a recommendation as we can give it. It gives you just about every SEO tool you need, but its URL structure isn't set up very well for SEO.

Moreover, it's pricey. To get any serious value, you have to sign up for at least the mid-range plan, which will run you $79 USD per month. That's a pittance if you're making sales hand over fist, but it's pretty steep when you're just getting started.

Also, unless you use Shopify's payment gateway, which isn't available in every country, you'll get charged a transaction fee for every sale. For point of reference, Shopify Payments is currently available in:

  • United States
  • UK
  • Canada
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Denmark
  • Germany
  • Hong Kong
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Japan
  • The Netherlands
  • Singapore
  • Spain
  • Sweden

Finally, if you want to sell globally, you'll face a difficult time getting your store translated into other languages. Shopify doesn't have that functionality out of the box, and the add-ons that offer it aren't great.

But in spite of these limitations, Shopify is a great ecommerce platform that can grow with your business. That's evidenced by the fact that more than a million businesses in 175 countries use it to run their online stores.

Setting up your Shopify website

The following is a detailed guide regarding the steps you should take in order to set up a Shopify website. By following these steps you can easily set up shop and start selling.

Step 1: Create an account

Shopify is a paid service. But thankfully, you can start testing the waters on the platform by just entering your email and opting for the free trial (which has been extended to 90-days in view of the COVID-19 pandemic).

shopify login

Once you enter your email in the required box and click on "Start free trial," you’ll be taken to the signup page where you can enter a password and the name of your store. Keep in mind that the store name is the one that’ll appear on the website, so be sure to select your preferred business name here.

shopify free trial

After that, you just need to click on the ‘Create your store’ button, and you’re done! Your store will be created! But don’t leave yet, for that’s just the very first step. After your store has been successfully created, you’ll see a success message appear.

And now you’re ready to move onto the next step.

Step 2: Provide initial information

Once your store has been successfully created, you’ll be presented with the following screen, where you will be prompted to enter certain details. This is meant to inform the Shopify system about the kind of business you run. You can either choose to enter the information, or skip this step and move onto the next.

adding information to shopify

After you’ve completed (or skipped) the above, you’ll be taken to another screen where you will be required to enter your billing address and contact info. It’s important that you do this correctly, as this is the address where you’ll be receiving your payments.

shopify adding address information

After submitting the above information, your initial setup is complete, and you’ll be taken to your application dashboard.

Step 3: Exploring the Shopify dashboard

In this step, we are going to take a detailed look at the dashboard of your Shopify website. Just take a look at the screenshot below to get acquainted with the interface. Remember, the dashboard is the one place which is virtually the gateway to your website. So it pays to know your way around it.

shopify dashboard

From the dashboard, you can control all aspects of your Shopify website. From order management to analytics, marketing to app integration, this is the one place that you will be spending the most of your time. In the following steps, we’ll be exploring the different facets of the dashboard, starting with the settings options.

Step 4: Configuring your Shopify settings

Just take another look at the dashboard. See the small gear shape at the bottom left-hand corner? That’s the icon for the settings menu.

Click on it, and you’ll be taken to the Settings screen.

shopify settings

From this page, you’ll be able to navigate the different settings options that are available. We’ll begin with the general settings, and move onto the other ones gradually. Click on the ‘General’ settings option to go to the general settings page.

shopify general settings

From this menu, you’ll be able to configure details like your name, business email, and store currency. You’ll also be able to modify the address and phone number information you entered at the beginning of the account setup process.

Now, we shall take a look at the payment options, which, of course, need to be set up very diligently. From the settings menu, you need to select the "Payment provider" option.

From here, you can select any payment option of your choice. You can choose to go with Shopify payments, PayPal, Amazon Pay or other alternative as per your convenience. What’s more, you even have the option of setting up manual payments. Now isn’t that neat!

shopify payment settings

After completing the payments process, you can similarly make changes to the Shipping, Checkout and other settings that are available. Just play around with the settings a bit and settle on what works for you.

Step 5: Get your own domain name on Shopify

This is, of course, the most important step. Your domain name is the internet address by which your shop will be known around the world (hoping for the best!), so you need to pay careful attention to it.

It’s best if you settle on a domain name that’s related to, or is the same as, the name of your shop and business. This way, you also create a brand of your own. Once you’ve settled on the name, you can go to buy the domain from the Shopify interface itself. Just click on the Domains option in the left panel of the dashboard to get started.

shopify choose domain name

From the above screen, you can buy a new domain directly, or attach any existing domain that you may already have. Keep in mind that Shopify will assign you a default sub-domain to use, but it's best you switch to your own domain as fast as possible. This is essential from a digital marketing perspective.

Step 6: Selecting your theme and customizing your Shopify site

Now we come to the part where you get to the good stuff (not that the previous stuff was bad, just, this is really interesting). Here, you’re going to see how to customize your website. To do so, you need to go back to the drawing-sorry, we mean dashboard.

From the left panel of the dashboard select the ‘Themes’ option as shown below.

shopify themes

From here, you can easily customize your website’s theme as per your preferences. Just click on the ‘Customize’ button, and get ready to make the changes in the theme editor that comes up.

shopify edit theme

From the theme editor, you can simply choose theme sections and components, and modify them according to your requirements. You have the option to apply site-wide theme settings, or even customize individual pages to give your site a snazzy look and feel.

The Themes menu gives you the option to select from a wide range of themes. You can opt for free themes, buy premium ones, or even upload themes that you may already have on your computer. Whatever you choose to go with, just make sure you give your website that sticky factor which makes visitors want to come back for more.

Step 7: Setting up pages on Shopify

What’s a website without a few web pages? Make sure you include the essential pages on your online shopping site. These may include the product pages, about us page and contact us page. To create pages, just visit the pages option in the left side pane of the dashboard as shown below.

shopify pages

Once you’ve got to the Pages menu, click on ‘Add Page’ to open the page editor.

add a page shopify

Here you can edit the content of the page as you see fit. What’s more, you can even use predefined templates that Shopify provides you with. This makes the task of creating pages more fluid as shown below.

add a page in shopify

What’s more, you can even edit SEO information to make sure that your Shopify page appears high on the SERPs.

In this manner, you can create multiple pages and add them to your Shopify site. Remember to click Save after you finish editing each page, and you’re good to go!

Step 8: Integrating apps on Shopify

Done with the above? Good! Now we are going to integrate apps into our Shopify website. Apps are specific applications that you can use to grow the functionality of your website. These apps give you access to a number of useful functions, such as integrating product reviews and enabling dropshipping capabilities. Just check out the Shopify app store to know more.

shopify app store

Step 9: Adding products to your Shopify store

What’s an online store without the products? Now it’s time to include your stellar range of offerings on your website. You can easily do this using the All products option from the…you guessed it, left panel of the dashboard.

shopify add products

Just click on Add product, and edit the required information as shown below.

add product to shopify

Step 10: Selecting a Shopify plan

So now you know how to set up your Shopify website. But wait, there’s a final step left to complete. After you’ve finished with setting up your site, you need to select a Shopify plan that suits your needs.

This plan will come into effect once your free trial period ends. There are three plans to choose from.

Basic Shopify plan: Shopify's Basic plan is $29 USD per month. It gets you your online store, up to two staff accounts, the ability to sell on marketplaces and social media, the ability to generate discount codes, an SSL certificate and abandoned cart recovery. You also get up to a 64% shipping discount, and you can print shipping labels. You get access to the Shopify point of sale app, and you can integrate third-party point of sale apps.

Shopify plan: The Shopify plan runs $79 USD per month. You get everything included in the Basic plan, plus up to five staff accounts, the ability to generate gift cards and professional reporting tools. It also gives you up to a 72% discount on shipping, USPS Priority Mail Cubic pricing and unlimited staff PINs for your point of sale system.

Advanced Shopify plan: Shopify's Advanced plan gives you everything included in the Basic and Shopify plans, plus advanced reporting, up to a 74% discount on shipping, an advanced report builder and the ability to show calculated shipping rates on your site. It runs $299 USD per month.

Shopify also offers a Shopify Lite plan for $9 USD per month. This allows you to sell goods and take payments on your own blog or on Facebook. They also have an enterprise plan Shopify Plus, with individualized pricing.

And that’s it! You’re done setting up your website. Now you can directly begin to reach out to your customers and start creating a brand following.

Now, how easy was that!

How to make your Shopify site amazing

If you want to get the most out of your Shopify site, you should enlist some expert help.

A graphic designer can make your Shopify site look beautiful and unique. Yes, Shopify has a great template library. But a graphic designer can take an existing Shopify template and individualize it to your preferences. Or, they can create a brand new Shopify template just for your site.

A web developer can also help you get the most out of your Shopify site. Remember how we said Shopify allows you to mess with the code? A web developer can use that functionality to build custom elements for your website, and give it some incredible features that aren't available out of the box.

Shopify does give you some SEO tools, but an SEO expert can make sure your site has the best chance of ranking in search engines. They might not be able to fix Shopify's SEO-unfriendly URL structure, but they can make sure you're using the right keywords and structuring your site for success.

If you want to reach out to your customers to build repeat business, an email marketer can help you build campaigns that will keep your clients engaged and turn them into lifelong brand evangelists.

A search engine marketing expert is a must for Shopify. If you want your store to be seen, you need an expert at Google Ads and social media paid ads to get your products in front of the right audience.

Finally, a freelance writer can create copy for your Shopify site that makes your products irresistible. And, they can help you create a content marketing strategy that'll put your brand in front of new audiences.

Final words

Before we take our leave, just a word of wisdom: ecommerce websites are becoming a dime a dozen on the web. With multiple players vying for customer attention, competition is fierce, to say the least. And unless you have significant value to offer to your customers, you can’t hope to survive.

So make sure you create a website that appeals to your customers. And we’ll see you on the other side of success!

Cobra Casino [register & login] 300 free spins welcome bonus

Welcome Package: 100% deposit bonus + 250 free spins

The New Cobra on the Block

Cobra Casino is a brand spanking new gambling site, established just this year. It’s owned and operated by the Dama N.V Casinos Group, and powered by SoftSwiss. However, its subsidiary, Sturkin Limited, is the entity licensed and regulated by Antillephone N.V.

This gambling authority is governed under the laws of Curaçao, and is in fact, a ‘master license holder.’ In effect, this means that it provides sub-licenses to online gambling operators, such as Cobra Casino.

While the licensing may raise some eyebrows, it seems to be above board as far as legitimacy goes. This is especially true when Cobra Casino has a range of top-notch software providers in its portfolio. These include NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Thunderkick, iSoft Gaming, and countless others.

The Keys to the Cobra Kingdom

Cobra Casino's modern-styled interface is easy to navigate with an attractive black, white, and red theme. At the top of the homepage, you’ll find a plethora of games. These are conveniently presented in categories including ‘New,’ ‘Popular,’ ‘Recommended,’ ‘Slots,’ ‘Roulette,’ ‘Card Games,’ ‘Live,’ and ‘Jackpot Games.’

Spoilt for Choice

From progressive jackpots to a live dealer section, Cobra Casino has an impressive variety of games. In addition to its wide range of payment methods, it also accepts cryptocurrencies. With its ‘Quick Registration’ option, you can sign up within minutes, where you’ll have access to some attractive welcome offers and an exclusive VIP program.

Cobra 300 free spins

Charming Perks & Promotions at Cobra Casino

No casino offering is complete without bonuses and promotions. This online gambling site doesn’t disappoint with welcome packages and deals bound to get some tongues wagging. Let’s take a look.

First Deposit Bonus

When you sign up and make the first deposit at Cobra Casino, you’ll receive a 100% matched bonus of up to €500 or equivalent currency, and 250 free spins. These are released in increments of 25 per day. According to the site, enter the bonus code ‘COBRA100’ to get this deal.

Second Deposit Bonus

Upon your second deposit, use the promo code ‘COBRA50,’ to receive a 50% matched bonus of up to €150 (or currency equivalent) plus 50 free spins.

Third Deposit Bonus

Cobra Casino gives players yet another bonus upon making a third deposit. With the code ‘COBRA125,’ you’ll get a 125% matched bonus of up to €400 or your equivalent currency.

Welcome Package T’s and C’s

All promotional offers come with certain conditions attached. The following T’s and C’s apply to Cobra Casino’s first to third deposit bonuses:

  • Only one bonus allowed at a time.
  • Minimum deposit of €20 or currency equivalent required.
  • Skrill and Neteller payment options excluded.
  • 40x wagering requirement applicable to bonuses and free spins.
  • Maximum bet limit of €5.
  • Bonuses are valid for 14 days from activation.
  • Free spins must be activated within 3 days and used within 7 days.

If wagering requirements aren’t fulfilled within the stipulated period, you’ll forfeit the bonus and any derived winnings. In addition, any withdrawals made before these conditions are met will render the same result.

That’s Not All

Apart from the above, there’s a Tuesday Free Spins bonus, as well as a ‘High Roller Bonus’ of 30% up to €500, with the bonus code ‘VIP30,’ which is available twice a month. Cobra Casino also offers players a birthday present in the form of a 100% matched deposit bonus of up to €150. Terms and conditions apply.

No Snakes – Just a VIP Ladder

This online casino comes with a tiered rewards program where players can receive exclusive prizes, free spins, cash backs, and more. Start at the ‘Newbie’ level, and work your way up through the ‘Talented’ and ‘Experienced’ stages before reaching the top, aptly named the ‘Master.’

To do this, you’ll need to collect Status Points, where one is equivalent to €20 in bets. The more you play, the higher you’ll climb, and the better your rewards will be.

An Impressive Portfolio of Games

Cobra Casino caters to every type of player with its diverse spectrum of over 2,000 games. Slots make up the majority of these, all provided by leading software developers. Among them, you’ll find reputable names like Yggdrasil, Play’n Go, Quickspin, Betsoft, Playtech, EGT, and Elk Studios.

If you prefer more interactive games, then you can try out video poker or pontoon. There’s also roulette, blackjack, and baccarat, which come in countless variations. You’ll even find them in the live casino lobby powered by Evolution Gaming and NetEnt.

Want to play something popular, new, or recommended? Cobra Casino has dedicated categories for these, as well as a ‘Jackpot Games’ section for those that enjoy progressives. What’s more, the site is optimized for mobile use. Some crowd favorites include:

  • Sakura Fortune
  • Book of Dead
  • Lightning Roulette
  • Aztec Gold Megaways
  • Reactoonz

Unfortunately, Cobra Casino doesn’t provide any precise details about payout rates on its website. However, in terms of the applicable licensing requirements, it must prove the fairness of its games and software platform.

Additionally, the online casino must use a verified random number generator (RNG) for all its games, and third-party test certificates are required.

Cobra VIP Program

Striking Payment Options

Cobra Casino offers a wide variety of payment methods, including cryptocurrencies. It accepts EUR, NZD, USD, JPY, NOK, INR, CAD, AUD, PLN, RUB, KZT, BCH, BTC, ETH, and LTC.

You can use one of the following methods to make a deposit:

  • MasterCard, Visa, and Maestro.
  • Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz, QIWI, Yandex Money, Alfa-Click, Mobile Commerce, PaySafeCard, Neosurf, Venus Point, SticPay, iDebit, Interac, Rapid Transfer, Siru Mobile, and PurplePay.
  • Bitcoin, BTC Cash, Litecoin, and Ethereum.

Cobra Casino doesn’t charge any fees for deposits, and transactions are instant. However, a minimum amount of €10 (or equivalent) is generally required, although it depends on your chosen method.

To withdraw your winnings, you can use one of the following:

  • Visa, MasterCard, Russian Cards, and Bank Wire Transfer.
  • Neteller, Neosurf, Interac, Skrill, PaysafeCard, Yandex Money, SticPay, EcoPayz, QIWI, Rapid Transfer, Neosurf, instaDebit, iDebit, and Venus Point.
  • Bitcoin, BTC Cash, Litecoin, and Ethereum.

Cobra Casino doesn’t charge any fees for withdrawals. However, each method has varying limits. A minimum of €20 (or currency equivalent) applies. The maximum amount also depends on the payment provider, but the daily limit is €/$700.

Ewallet withdrawals are instant, while card payments can take anything between 3 to 5 days. Bank transfers are by far the slowest, with a timeframe of 5 to 7 days. Bear in mind that Cobra Casino requires identity verification before any withdrawals take place.

While this operator seems to have stringent policies in place, we couldn’t find any information related to its encryption software and safety information.

Get in Touch with Cobra Casino

In terms of support, this online gambling site comes fully prepared with a live chat feature and email option via  [email protected] Alternatively, it provides a contact form for players to fill in online.

Top Picks

  • Top jackpot game: over €6,000 in 10 Burning Heart
  • Most popular game: Book of Dead
  • Top new game: Emperor’s Palace

If you prefer trying out a game beforehand, Cobra Casino’s got you covered with its free-play option on most slots.

The Final Verdict

As a newcomer to the online gambling arena, this operator ticks all the right boxes. From game variety to payment options, it has everything to give players a well-rounded experience.

Still, its unconventional licensing is somewhat questionable, and there’s a lack of information when it comes to software security.

  • Over 2,000 games from top software providers
  • Welcome package and promos
  • Accepts cryptocurrencies
  • Mobile-friendly site

  • Somewhat questionable licensing
  • No mobile app
  • Restricted in certain countries

All in all, we believe a 9.3/10 is a fair rating.

The car seat is not approved.

English: The car seat is not approved.

French: Le siège d’auto n’est pas approuvé.

When passengers bring on a car seat, you’ll need to check to see if it’s approved for your plane, and your airline will teach you how. Once in a while, a passenger will bring on a car seat that is not approved for use on your aircraft and you’ll have to tell them. Depending on procedures, the car seat will probably need to be tagged and sent to the cargo for the flight while the passenger holds the baby for take off and landing.

Here’s how we can tell the passenger that the car seat is not approved.

Le siège d’auto=The carseat

Le siège d’auto est apprové.=The car seat is approved.

To negate a sentence in French, we put “ne” and “pas” around the verb, in this case “est” “is”. But because the verb here “est” starts with a vowel, it contracts with the “ne” preceding it and we get:

Le siège d’auto n’est pas apprové.

In casual speech, the “ne” is often dropped in negations, leaving the sentence with the “pas” only.

Le siège d’auto est pas approuvé.

Now available! Module 4 of Canadian French for Flight Attendants. Learn the French for:

Looking At Armies in 9th

A little peek into the armies I’ve been working on in 9E, and some thoughts on their factions. Click to read on, or check out the Tactics Corner for more reviews and strategies.

9th Edition has been a blossoming of new list ideas for everyone, as we sweep away the remnants of 8th and see which ideas work and which don’t. Here are some of my thoughts and opinions on my armies so far, based on the test games I’ve run and the info from other players that I’ve come across- perhaps it will be useful to other people in putting together lists of their own.

Let’s be straight about this: the new edition is not good for Tau. The shortening of the game, the increase in BLOS terrain, the heavy emphasis on holding objectives, and the removal of kills from most primary/secondary objectives are all big strikes against the faction as a whole, and once you add in the price changes to their units (notably Shield Drones and the Tau’nar) they are left in a very poor spot. Yes, Tau can still overwatch like they used to, which is a major strength- but it is not enough to consistently stop the enemy from getting onto objectives that the Tau forces are occupying and the inability to fall back and shoot means that even with units such as Hammerheads or Riptides, the enemy can easily dictate what you are allowed to shoot at.

To make matters worse, Tau are the only faction in the game that lack a good (vehicle) transport. Rhinos, Trukks, Wave Serpents, Goliaths… all of them are worth considering and can be a solid basis for a mechanized army, but the Devilfish’s combination of poor firepower, poor range, inability to transport a good unit to “sweep” objectives, and high price tag makes them a non-starer for building an army. Worse yet, Devilfish give up 3pts on Bring It Down compared to the 2pts for most other factions’ transports (due to having more than ten wounds), which further punishes bringing them in numbers.

Put simply, Tau do not have the tools to compete effectively with their current codex. They have no melee to speak of, their shooting is not sufficient to clear the enemy off objectives, they cannot effectively hold the midfield in the face of strong, aggressive units and they can no longer rely on a game plan of “kill for three turns and then begin scoring” because that plan is completely nonviable.

There has been some talk of Stealth Suits and Ghostkeels to hold objectives early, but there is one big problem with this plan: these units aren’t objective secured. A Ghostkeel can stand on an objective, yes, and it can overwatch units that charge onto that objective- but if even a single Grot or Guardsman survives, your enemy is going to deny you those points and you are going to be trying to dig your way out of a hole as you shoot your battlesuit at their three 5pt troop models. Similarly, huge blobs of Crisis suits (using Farsight Enclaves, natch) can present some significant shooting threat, but are very vulnerable to a single anti-overwatch unit (or just a sufficiently-large blob of ObSec models) dive into them and shut them down completely.

I don’t really see a good path forward for Tau to climb into the top 50% now that the Tau’nar has been nerfed. I have no doubt that some of the better players (e.g. Rich Siegler, etc) will be able to win some events with them, but I think it is going to be a real struggle. None of the lists I’ve put together have any real legs to them, although I won’t say it’s completely impossible that these mad geniuses will come up with something that can work.

3×10 troop squads that died upon disembarking

5-45 loss on the primary objectives

0x10 shield drones

The outlook for Craftworlds is a lot better, in part because they have access to allies to shore up some of their weaknesses. A lot of Craftworld units took what were probably-unnecessary hits, but many of their other units went largely unscathed, so I think it is possible for them to continue competing. Notably, most of the Craftworld vehicles and Wraith units fared relatively well in pricing, though their aspect warriors and troops did not, with a handful of exceptions. This gives Craftworlds a couple good options to pick from when it comes to builds.

One of the most obvious is the strategy that nearly every faction is going to hit on- namely, transports filled with decent troops and light-to-medium vehicles backing them up. With very competitive pricing on Wave Serpents and War Walkers as well as others and no increases at all on Missile Launchers, Craftworlds are well-positioned to spam large numbers of fairly-tough vehicles with multipurpose guns that can effectively target both infantry hordes and enemy vehicles, which is a very good place to start out at.

They also have access to several effective infantry units of their own; Dire Avengers, despite a price increase, can be surprisingly durable and have enough firepower to do a reasonable job clearing out lighter enemy units. This is especially true when paired with Asurmen, who gives them a 4++ save, and it’s very possible that 40+ Avengers will be a major component of many Craftoworlds armies. Wraithblades are also well-positioned, coming with 3-5 attacks per model (depending on if they charged, craftworld traits, etc) and the potential for a 1+/3++/5+++ save, which when combined with T6 and three wounds each is pretty nightmarish to get rid of.

They also have access to allies from Drukhari and Harlequins, both of which have some very useful tools. While Drukhari themselves are not amazingly powerful, their poisoned weaponry and multidamage attacks provide an excellent tool for getting rid of enemy infantry and their close combat potential and mobility is a good complement for Craftworlds. Harlequins, on the other hand, are extremely powerful in their own right and have access to tons of effective tricks- including mortal wound spam, massed invulns, movement tricks, cheap transports, volume of melta shots, character assassination, and more. Better yet, they can easily fit into a patrol detachment, minimizing the loss of command points- which they need to fuel a lot of their shenanigans.

Farseer Skyrunner (Doom, Executioner)

Warlock Skyrunner (Protect/Jinx)

3×10 Dire Avengers (Exarch w/Catapult)

3×1 Wave Serpent (Twin Missile, Twin Catapult)

2×1 War Walker (Twin Missile)

Death Jester (Cegorach’s Lament, Pivitol Role: Harvester of Torment)

3×5 Troupes (5 Fusion)

3×1 Starweaver

Chaos Marines

While Chaos may have lost a lot of its tools from the previous edition with heavy soup and specialist detachments being effectively dead, it has gained a new life in this edition with the renewed focus on midfield, melee combat, and close-range brawling. Although the builds are wildly different, Chaos Marines are well poised to field some powerful lists that combine shooting and assault to best effect.

The first thing we’ll take note of is their access to Chaos Daemon allies, most particularly Nurglings. Although Death Guard probably can do this a bit better, Chaos Marines also have access and it is well worth 2-3 CP to bring in a bunch of sneaky little goobers that can make things difficult for your opponent and hold onto objectives. There’s also some options with the larger daemons if you want, although I think those are better left to pure builds.

However, Chaos Marines do have big stompies of their own in the form of the various daemon engines, which thanks to the making of several good HQ units and some large price drops have become quite good. The Defiler in particular has become extremely dangerous now that it can more consistently charge models in terrain, can fire on the move effectively, and gains access to +1 modifiers on both hit and save rolls. Other vehicles can also take advantage of these benefits, however, and the Maulerfiend and Forgefiend both seem worth considering, as is the Hellforged Contemptor despite not gaining the same benefits. Sprinkle in some Rhinos carrying troops and you’re looking at a list that has a lot of legs, especially when run as Iron Warriors with their multitude of extra stratagems and traits.

Beyond that, Terminators are clearly a very powerful inclusion in the army, priced as low as they are with Chainaxe + combiweapon (with a few Chainfists mixed in to add some melee punch.) Taking advantage of fight twice or shoot twice effects is very key, and thankfully Chaos Marines can get either one depending how you go. Emperor’s Children gets you the latter, and also has a strat to change one charge die to a ‘6’ on arrival- which all but guarantees a successful charge against something following a bout of double-shooting. Combined with various other enhancements (reroll auras, bonuses to hit, etc) you can probably vaporize 2-3 major units the turn you touch down and then sweep an objective, which is a pretty big points swing. EC can also make good use of Noise Marines, with a block of 20 of them getting +1 to hit/wound, +1 Str/Damage and reroll hits/wounds to just absolutely vaporize something the turn they show up from strategic reserves. It’s a big investment, but since it kills an average of two Knights, ~90 Orks, or 30 Primaris with the doubleshoot, it is probably worth the effort.

You can also do World Eaters, which have Berzerkers as their obsec troops- great for piling out of a Rhino, charging across the field to fight twice and pile onto someone’s objective, then steal it out from under them. Terminators work here, also, since you can give them a pregame strat to fight twice and then use another strat to fight a third time- a pummeling which very, very few units should survive. Add in some saucy HQ options and other support and you can build an army that easily dominates midfield with suicidal supremacy long enough for you to get all the points you need.

An army I haven’t broken out in quite a long while, Tyranids definitely have their struggles- however, after listening to Best In Faction and Art of War talk about them, they have renewed my interest and forced me to break out models that haven’t seen the light of day in nearly a decade. Which is… a good thing, I guess?

Specifically, I have been enamored of the Spore Mine builds that have been getting a lot of attention- the ability to spam out obnoxious little move-blocking models that can do mortal wounds seems extremely powerful, and though the recent FAQ and its limitations on fortification placement have given me a bit of pause, it still seems like a list that has a lot of potential if heavy infantry and vehicles dominate the environment more so than hordes.

Tyranids also have some very effective multiwound troop options in the form of Rippers and Tyranid Warriors. The former is simply a very cheap and effective way to spam out troops (12pts per base, or 4pts per wound) that doesn’t fall prey to the issues with Blast weapons and has access to deep strike, while the latter are not quite as cheap (22pts per three-wound body instead) but have a 4+ save, are infantry to perform actions, and large squads have access to the ability to ignore up to AP-2 and also reduce incoming damage by one. Combined with reasonable melee prowess against enemy light units (and some shooting, for Warriors) and you have a solid objective defender that can fight off enemy hordes.

Now add in extensive moveblocking from Spores that you drop on the enemy before the game (via strat or Meiotic Spores), Spore-spawning units that start in midfield (Sporocysts), and Spores dropped on the enemy from shooting (Biovores), and you can pump out a huge number of mortal wounds that all work on an effective 2+. You also have access to Neurothropes and Zoanthropes, powerful psykers that can bomb the enemy with mortal wounds, and with a 3++ save and three wounds themselves they are not easy to get rid of (especially with Leviathan benefit or Catalyst up.)

Hive Guard, Biovores, and Sporocysts also let you take advantage of BLOS terrain to blast enemy units with impunity while remaining difficult to hurt yourself, and all of them are more than capable of shredding anything that tries to move into midfield without your permission even if they get past the Spore walls. Very few units with fly are particularly cheap, and so these mortal wound sources are exceptionally effective against them and other high-value units- and unlike psychic powers, most codices have no way to stop or resist them.

This is a great time for list experimentation right now- the field is wide open, and no one really knows what works and what doesn’t. By all means stay safe and avoid social contact- including big tournaments- if you are anywhere where COVID is still having an effect (which means basically everywhere in the United States, but much less so most other countries), but it isn’t unreasonable to get in games with a regular opponent provided you both take some precautions. Try out the units that you love and see what they can do, but also be ready to discard things that don’t work. The lists I’ve posted above are all the result of dozens upon dozens of iterations and ideas from other players and podcasts, so don’t be afraid to drop something and start over if it doesn’t seem right or isn’t working out. List-writing is a process of experimentation, and like all processes it takes time.

As always, remember you can get your wargaming supplies at great discounts every day from the Frontline Gaming store, whether you’re looking to start a new army or expand an existing one.

      It really caught my eye as well. Doing mortal wounds with no hit roll, psychic test, or chance for the enemy to stop it is potentially quite powerful and I have always loved Biovores.

    A question about Star cannons versus Missile launchers for Craftworlds. The missile is a more versatile gun but I have found that especially on a Wave serpent it’s a drawback that it can’t shoot in close combat. You almost always move the serpents to objectives and there they get in combat so I think the star cannon is to prefer on serpents. What’s your thoughts?

      You can fire the Krak profile on the AML in combat, which while not ideal is better than not firing at all- and against Marines or the like still works fairly well. I have gone back and forth on Starcannons vs. AML, though, and I think it will end up being a meta choice. If you don’t see many hordes, the Starcannon is fantastic for its price, especially against heavy infantry but also against light/medium vehicles with Doom up. However, when you’re killing single Guardsmen with it, it very much underperforms, and the AML really shines there with S4 AP-1. It may end up being better to run a mix of them- say, with Starcannons on the Wave Serpents and AMLs on the War Walkers, but that remains to be seen.

        I agree that it depends on the meta and right now it’s difficult to say.

        Ok if you can shoot Krak in cc that’s not bad but I thought that the “Aeldari missile launcher” was labelled as blast weapon not just the Frag shoots. Maybe I’ve missed that?

    I have found with the smaller boards Chaos Space Marine Obliterators are a solid addition. The range is not as limiting as before.

      abusepuppy August 12, 2020 5:51 pm #

      Yeah Obliterators have some potential play, although I am not a fan of their randomness- even with rerolls, it’s too easy to just roll 1 on their damage and have the unit do very little on a given turn, which is a tough sell for a tournament player. Being beefy infantry that can reserve for free is definitely nice, though.

        BK August 12, 2020 11:48 pm #

        True, hopefully they get flat two damage, strength 8; -2 AP in next codex rather then random stats but priced at a premium! At least with the board size they often get to shoot what they want to now.

        Also if playing chaos I suggest havoc launchers on the humble rhino now for 5pts instead of an extra Combi Bolter and if points are spare, 15 points to get a terminator sorc over a normal one is a nice deal for the extra wound, 5++ and access to deep strike!

          abusepuppy August 13, 2020 6:34 am #

          Yeah where I have the points i have been bolting a Combimelta, Havoc Launcher, or both onto my vehicles, depending on needs. Rhinos with Combimeltas are surprisingly scary and can be a rude surprise for characters.

          The Terminator Sorcerer definitely has a lot of advantages, but I like being able to ride in a transport a lot- it makes it easier to get onto an objective 1st turn to perform an action or whatnot. I think they both have their place depending on the list.

            I see you are also a fan of the Lord (Jump Pack, 2 Claws) = Rapacious talons which makes the lord a blender in combat. I like to use flames of spite on him for some extra err…spite? And mortal wounds. Like a discount D.Prince – solves problems.

      With GW having finally figured out that all it needs for positive reviews are free advance copies of books for some channels there should be no shortage of sources to tell you how great everything is. You can probably find a “Tau are soooo good” even here if you look long enough.

      Sorry, my mang, the brand is “brutal honesty about how bad or good things are” and I ain’t gonna steer away from that. I was pretty pissed that for the THIRD time my Tau’nar got taken off the shelf for exactly one game before someone at GW said “WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA we can’t let this thing be GOOD tack another 200pts onto it” and thus it sadly slid back into the pile of Units That Have Not Been Useful Long Enough to Get Painted.

        What we can not have that!
        You know the rule: All units must be less then or cost more then Imperial units.

        Fun fact the game is actually a real fun game when you don’t play against Space Marines or Admech. The games are close and no one is getting tabled turn 2.

        (Pro Tip: don’t reserve anything against an all offensive list like Fists Arty. They will table you by turn 2 and if they went first you lose as you have no units on the table before your reserves arrive) 😛

    Great article, mang. Brings joy to my heart to see someone talking about bugs again. What loadout do you think you’d be looking at for Warriors? Would it differ on 3-man or 8/9-man units? I’ve been looking at Boneswords and Deathspitters, but they end up a little on the pricey side for something that, with all the stratagem support in the world, still doesn’t end up being genuinely resilient.

    • Avatar
      abusepuppy August 13, 2020 6:43 am #

      So far I’ve been looking at Warriors as a solution to enemy hordes- with three shots and three attacks apiece, they can do some significant work in theory. So far I’m sticking with the dirt-cheap Talons/Devourer setup, although I think Deathspitters are worth considering for the extra range and utility against Marines. I might even try out a Barbed Strangler, because against units of 11+ models that is potentially six shots hitting on 2s for a relatively small number of points. I don’t favor Boneswords a lot because they just don’t add _quite_ enough for their cost to your killing power, although that may be more of a meta call.

      I think the small 3man squads want to stay as cheap as possible, with no upgrades of any kind, since they are often gonna be your Action Monkeys who sit in the back and score points. 9man squads can afford to pick up a bit more since they have ablative wounds and you’ll be slapping Enhanced Resistance on them so that they ignore AP-1/2 weapons. 27 wounds of 3+ armor for 225pts is nothing to sneeze at.

How One Chef Made Regional Mexican a Critical Success

Claudette Zepeda-Wilkins is educating guests at her San Diego restaurant El Jardín about the richness and diversity of Mexican food.

“You know, onions aren’t from Mexico,” chef Claudette Zepeda-Wilkins says during a discussion of what constitutes traditional Mexican food. “And so, by that theory, a salsa shouldn’t have any onions in it; it should only have tomato and chiles.” But if one keeps unspooling that argument, “all the ingredients that we know to be in our cuisine really came from other people. It came from tragic instances where we made

lemonade out of shitty situations that we were given. Pardon my French,” she adds. The point is, she surmises, “all of Mexico is fusion.”

El Jardin

Kitchen tool you can’t live without: Slotted spoon.
Favorite person to cook for: My mom and my kids.
Favorite ingredient right now: Sunchoke.
Last thing you read: The Taste of Mexico by Patricia Quintana.
Favorite way to destress outside the kitchen: Sit at home and watch “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

Zepeda-Wilkins, executive chef and partner of El Jardín in San Diego, hopes to spread this knowledge to every customer who walks into her cheery, colorful space in Point Loma.

Mexican food is not just tacos or enchiladas; it is rich mole sauces, creamy, decadent arroz con leche, and sharp, pickled vegetables. It is also hard to define: each of the country’s nine major regions is home to endemic cuisines that range from the moles of Oaxaca to tropical fruits from the Yucatan.

Zepeda-Wilkins’ menu, which changes weekly, aims to explore nearly all of them.

The idea for El Jardín’s menu began percolating when the chef was a contestant on Top Chef Mexico in 2017. “It was an eye-opening experience when I was filming and saw the capabilities and the variety that we had at our disposal within our country,” she says. “So, I decided to cook Mexican food: to really embrace it and learn basically everything that I could, as fast as I could.” To bring her vision to life, Zepeda-Wilkins partnered with Rise & Shine Restaurant Group, where she had previously worked as a consulting chef for the company’s new ventures.

The restaurant, which opened in June 2018, was one of the buzziest projects of the year, with food news site Eater billing it as one of the country’s most anticipated openings. Glowing critical reviews soon followed: The San Diego Union-Tribune hailed it as “comida chingona” which translates, roughly, to badass cuisine. Zepeda-Wilkins prefers her own term: grandma chic.

What does that mean, exactly? “Sort of ugly, delicious. Your grandmother wasn’t focused on what it looked like; she was focused on what it tasted like,” she says. “I always think, ‘What would my grandmother say if I handed her a plate with a bunch of garnish and micros and hid the food?’ She would just peel it off and tell me to get over myself,” she laughs.

Zepeda-Wilkins draws a lot of inspiration for her menu from her family, in fact, who are both stateside and in Mexico. The chef, who was raised in the U.S., grew up spending nearly every break from school with her grandmother and relatives south of the border. “When I land in Guadalajara, it’s where I feel most whole,” she says. “As soon as I get there or Tijuana, I’m in the market; I start moving around. I feel like it’s more natural to me to be there.”

But Zepeda-Wilkins is classically trained in French cuisine and also travels the globe to expand her palate. The result is a cuisine that is Mexican foremost, but influenced by changing landscapes both locally and globally. “If I only cook the food we ate in Mexico in the ’80s, well, that’s not the food that we eat in Mexico now,” she says. “[I want to] educate people on how diverse Mexico can be and move the cuisine forward at the same time.”

To wit: one of her current favorite dishes on the menu is the vegetarian enmoladas: tortillas slathered in mole sauce. In this meatless rendition, the house-made tortillas are stuffed with a root vegetable mix (sunchokes, sweet potato, and carrot) that has been tossed in a pumpkin seed sauce. Then, the whole dish is drenched in a silky plantain mole and sprinkled with crema and an aged cotija cheese that the chef imports from Michoacán.

Other dishes have a more personal connection, like her faithful rendition of the beloved Mexican treat of churros. “I wanted to nail the texture of the border-wait churro,” she explains. “When you’re sitting at the border from Tijuana to San Diego, there are food vendors that roll up to your car [with them]. It’s a very specific crunch, and it’s very hard to explain unless people experience it. Six months later, I think we’ve landed on the perfect texture.” The crispy-until-the-last-bite pastry is served with a decadent goat’s milk cajeta caramel sauce. It receives an added kick from a splash of white wine from, of course, Mexico’s wine country: Valle de Guadalupe.

El Jardín is, no doubt, a critical success, but Zepeda-Wilkins is not resting on her laurels. She and her team are constantly striving to fashion a menu that simultaneously remains faithful to its Mexican roots while pushing the limits of contemporary interpretation of the cuisine. It is this commitment that will hopefully ensure the longevity of the restaurant. “I have a collection of Champagne bottles that are not being opened until we make it to two years,” she says. “This industry is hard, and I’m incredibly lucky to be open this long. I count my blessings every day.”

Umbrella Etiquette in Christmas Markets | Fulton Umbrellas

In the UK, umbrella etiquette is essential. Holding, closing, carrying, and shaking off your brolly is an art form if you want to avoid poking fellow pedestrians in the eye or showering them in rain. Of course, this becomes even more difficult in busy public places.

At this time of year, town and city centres are filling up with Christmas markets. To help you navigate your way safely through the festive crowds, read our top tips for perfecting your umbrella etiquette.

Public transport

How are you planning to get to the Christmas market? If you fancy a few mulled wines and are taking public transport, never place your soaking umbrella on the seat next to you — especially if it’s a sturdy golf umbrella that takes up a lot of space. This is a highway to a telling off or at least a few tuts and grumbles. Instead, shake off your umbrella outside and put it on the floor at your feet. If it’s still wet, put its cover on or use a plastic bag to make sure you don’t create a slipping hazard.

Raising and lowering

Once you’re at the market, you need to master the umbrella dance to weave your way around a Christmas market without a hitch. Basically, the umbrella dance involves lifting and lowering your umbrella in sync with the heights of your fellow market revellers — raising it to allow shorter pedestrians to pass by unharmed and lowering or tilting it away from taller people. Remember: as the holder of the umbrella, you’re in charge of avoiding clashes.

Mobile in pocket

Accidents happen and almost everyone you might catch with your umbrella will tell you it’s fine and merrily carry on. However, if you poke a bystander in the forehead because you were too busy texting on your phone to notice them, they might not be as forgiving. If you need to take a call or answer a message, stand at the side or between the festive stalls to make sure you’re safely out of the way.

Opening and closing

Putting up and closing your umbrella is another crucial part of umbrella etiquette — and can make all the difference between causing fury and having an incident-free evening.

Christmas markets have a mix of shops, cafes and stalls, so chances are you’ll head inside to look around or enjoy a hot drink. Before you step inside, shake off as much water as you can, avoiding any passersby, and (if possible) leave it at the entrance or put it into a plastic bag so you don’t wet the floor and cause anyone to slip. Remember to also move to the side of the path to close your umbrella if the rain stops mid-walk. As for opening your brolly, just make sure there’s nobody within touching distance, either in front or behind you!

Reliable designs

It’s Christmas, so treating yourself is necessary. Avoid flimsy, cheap brollies — that’s the last thing you need on a windy, rainy Yuletide evening — and opt for a sturdy design. Keep an eye out for umbrellas made from fibreglass, as these are especially strong and lightweight for carrying all day and evening. Top designers, such as Cath Kidston and Lulu Guinness, create a range of high-quality brollies, and you can get designs featuring automatic openings, which makes it easier to use in the middle of a shopping crowd.

Holding your umbrella

If you or the person you’re with are big on Christmas, it’s likely that you’ll be stopping at nearly every stall on your way around the Christmas market. When you’re getting free gingerbread tasters and browsing the glass tree ornaments, it’s easy to lose the optimum umbrella stance.

Ideally, you need to hold your brolly so that you can easily see who is approaching, so keep it straight over your head and never:

  • Rest it over your shoulder — this only takes up space, which means less walking room for people behind you.
  • Let it dangle (canopy open and facing the floor), just because you happen to be under an awning or roof.
  • Hold it horizontally under your arm.
  • Spin it between your fingers at your side — Christmas markets are full of kids, so you have a good chance of catching one of them at this height.

If you’re carrying your brolly closed, make sure you hold it vertically with the pointed end closest to the floor.

Brolly in the middle

Good umbrella etiquette on strolls around Christmas markets isn’t just about dodging mishaps, it’s also about sharing. If you’re with your partner, child or best friend; place your brolly between you both while you’re walking to reduce the chance of catching somebody walking to your left or right. Letting kids share a children’s umbrella between them is also a good way of keeping them together in a busy public space. Plus, it’ll help to create the right cosy and cheery atmosphere to enjoy your festive outing!

Rules of Liar Thermo Sudoku
Fill in the whole grid with numbers from 1 to 9 so that no digit is repeated within a row, a column or an outlined 3x3 square. There are some thermometers in the grid. In each thermometer except one, the numbers placed in the cells along the thermometer must appear in strictly increasing order, starting in the thermometer’s bulb. The remaining thermometer is incorrect, i.e. numbers placed along it must not be in increasing order. It is a part of the solution to discover which thermometer is redundant.
