Super Affiliate Handbook Review

In the introduction to the WordPress Affiliate Guide, I discuss the Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner. Its existence is the reason I don’t delve too deeply into certain subjects regarding affiliate marketing (such as domain name selection).

Rosalind’s book is about getting your affiliate marketing foundation set, while the WordPress Affiliate Guide is a flexible blueprint specifically for leveraging WordPress for affiliate marketing based on years or testing and tweaking. In fact, the WP Affiliate Guide is built on the principles outlined in Rosalind’s guide.

But let me not stray to far from the topic of this post, reviewing the Super Affiliate Handbook so you can decide whether it’s a worthwhile guide to help you build an affiliate business.

When I purchased my copy of Rosalind Gardner’s Super Affiliate Handbook, I was wary of its promises, but over the years, I’ve come to realize just how invaluable a tool it is. The fact that it’s been around (and updated) since 2003 is a testament to its value.

When I first read the book, I was a bit put off by its focus on Pay Per Click advertising methods, which was confusing and because I didn’t have the kind of money necessary to make a go of it. As a beginner, I found myself floundering to understand it more than once, almost submerging me in information overload. That’s something to prepare yourself for if you’re brand new to affiliate marketing.

However, when you do get past all of that, the Super Affiliate Handbook is something worthy of being printed out and referenced often. There is a goldmine of information contained within its covers, and although it may not come complete with action-steps in a step-by-step sort of way, with a bit of trial and error you’ll get it sorted in no time flat.

The book is just over 200 pages long. That’s intimidating to put it mildly, but luckily there isn’t too much filler. Yep, that’s 200 page of straight dish to work with and it’s available instantly in PDF format.

It starts off by explaining what you’ll need to get your affiliate marketing business started (some things being obvious, such as access to a computer that can get on the internet), then it explains what affiliate marketing is, how it works, and the types of commission structures.

Since I was a newbie when I first purchased the guide, I remember going over it with a fine-toothed comb multiple times to make sense of it and then set out to build my first affiliate websites. At the time I knew HTML and CSS and had begun working with a new software called WordPress, but at the time, I never thought about using WordPress for the affiliate website process. WordPress was only powering my personal blog–it wasn’t even widely distributed or adopted then, so it was very inflexible.

That said, my first affiliate website was built using standard HTML and CSS. (It was huge by the time I actually switched it over to WordPress and it took a whole lot of overhauling to make it happen, but I’m much happier with it and its management now.) And I earned back my investment five times over in the first month by using her methods. I did a short happy dance because I realized, this affiliate marketing thing actually works.

Over the years, the Super Affiliate Handbook has undergone various updates and with the most recent, it now includes a marketing section which goes well beyond Pay Per Click advertising.

One thing I truly respect about Rosalind’s guide is that she teaches you how to build a business, not how to build a website that will be obsolete in a few days.

The writing style is smooth and entertaining, sometimes outright funny, which makes reading the book and following the prescribed methods seem less like a chore. She even shares with you one of her completed affiliate sites as an example and explains how she came to put it together and how she keeps it up, what type of affiliate promotions she uses, and even how much she earns from it.

The handbook explains:

  • How to find a niche (pg. 25)
  • How to evaluate market demand (pg. 32)
  • 6 keys for choosing the right domain name (pg. 42)
  • How to build content and increase your conversion rates (pg. 66)
  • How to write product endorsements (pg. 77)
  • How to make money from your website (pg. 93)
  • How to market your new affiliate website (pg. 132)
  • How to become a super affiliate (pg. 171)

This guide is certainly one of those rare finds in the internet marketing realm, and it’s certainly one everyone who wants to work from home should download and read immediately, taking plenty of notes.

Download the Super Affiliate Handbook and get cracking!

Conceptualising long-term monitoring to capture environmental, agricultural and socio-economic impacts of the Mzimvubu water project in the Tsitsa River
Expanded Title:The Mzimvubu River is the largest undeveloped river in South Africa despite having high annual runoff, high environmental status, high tourism potential, and being suitable for afforestation and moderately suitable for dryland/rainfed and irrigation agriculture. For these reasons, the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) investigated the potential of building a multipurpose dam in the Mzimvubu basin to serve as a catalyst for economic and social development. After several feasibility studies on potential sites, the Ntabelanga site in the Tsitsa river was chosen as the most appropriate site for the multipurpose dam. Another smaller dam site was identified downstream of Ntabelanga for the hydropower generation. Globally, large dams are vital development infrastructure that can society to meet various needs. These needs include water for domestic and industrial use, agricultural irrigation, and hydro-electric power. Dams can also help to “reduce peak discharge of flood water” and “increase the depth of water in a river so as to improve navigation”. Agricultural rejuvenation and job creation are the main drivers behind the conceptualisation of the Ntabelanga dam. Despite the widely acknowledged benefits of large dams, dam development continues to come up against important questions of social and environmental sustainability. The success and sustainability of a dam project is no longer just a matter of it's ‘technologically feasibility’ or driver of ‘economic development', it is equally an important sociological matter. Success is increasingly being measured by the extent to which the project coheres with specific social and environmental dynamics in the local area–in the short-, medium- and long-term. There is also the crucial question of environmental impact, and the construction of dams has a direct impact on the environment through permanent inundation of previously dry areas, alteration of stream flow regimes (reduction in natural flooding), and fragmentation of river ecosystems, thereby reducing species diversity in almost all cases. Indirectly, land-use change associated with dam constructions can significantly alter the equilibrium of ecosystems. These changes, generally, can lead to more intensive land utilisation, and these impacts add to the controversies around large dam projects Frequently, scientific studies associated with dam construction focus more on finding out the most technically feasible place to build it, than on the long-term socio-environmental issues that come in its train. This research, therefore, proposes a procedure for long term monitoring of environmental, agricultural and socio-economic changes associated with the building of the Ntabelanga dam. The current situation in the Ntabelanga area is first described with the focus on the physical environment (climate, streamflow, soils and environmental sensitive areas), the dominant agricultural practices as well as the perspectives, hopes and fears of communities in the study area. The report suggests a long term monitoring regime and methodologies that should be followed to capture the impact of the dam (before, during and after construction) on the environment, agriculture and people.akpan

New RAW Guest Star Announced, News on Vince’s Skit from RAW, More

– Today is the big day for Linda McMahon and her Senate campaign. Join us later on this afternoon and this evening for all the news from the polls.

– The feeling among some from within WWE is that last night’s skit on RAW with Vince McMahon talking about his wife’s Senate campaign was their way of acknowledging that they’ve lost the election and early damage control. Still, Linda’s campaign and the McMahons are hopeful for an upset at the polls tonight.

– WWE has announced that Miss USA Rima Fakih will be the special RAW guest star on November 29th for the three-hour King of the Ring episode from Philadelphia, PA. Fakih will be representing the Pink Fund, a financial assistance organization that helps breast cancer patients.

The Worker's Plight

A Poem by Greg Farina

I never gave the day a look

Of sunshine, glory, woods, or seas.

I’ve never gazed up at the clock;

My job’s my clock, my reason, being.

I work and work to have a spot

In cold world just like all the rest;

I’m not unhappy, joy’s known not,

Or so I hear from my sad boss.

I’m kept from fear and sounds of strife,

(Which plague the soul like biting bugs)

By making sure all work’s set straight;

And working twice tomorrow’s dusk.

At times I’m cold, but have no plight;

I get no sleep, I dream no dreams;

I’m kept from darkness and from light

By work kept up from week to week.

If a child grew like me,

He'd feel things worse than misery.

Screenwriting Tips: Scenes - by Pauline Kiernan

Understanding The Scene

Writing your scenes requires two perspectives at once - close-up and panoramic. As you’re inside each scene, you’re also having to be aware of its place within the whole story, but for most of the time it’s best to inhabit the scene and experience it moment by moment. Whatever kind of scene it is it has to be tightly shaped with a beginning, a middle and an end. The seed for each scene - and it should be a subtle rather than a clunky one - needs to have been sown in the preceding one. Something has to happen in the scene that develops the story in either a minor or major key. It has to keep the storyline moving, and there has to be some change taking place, whether it’s a nuanced significance in a character’s feelings changing or physical surface action.

Writing The Scene

Jot down in bare outline what’s happened in the scene before, and in the story up to this point. Even if you have this down already, write it out again because it will help you get into the flow of the story arc, and will probably spark some new ideas.

Now think about what the main dramatic purpose of this current scene is going to serve. It might be a surface action or event, but it might equally be a subtle alteration in a character’s emotions. This will determine how you write the scene. Under your outline for the previous scene, add notes on the new scene - the dramatic purpose and names of characters. Here is how a scene might pan out:

- What are the characters’ motivations in this scene?

- What do they want to happen?

- Does it happen, but not the way that was anticipated? Could this be a revelation or catalyst scene, where the character learns something new and significant? Could this create a major turning point in the story, leading it off in a new direction? Or a small turning point whose full significance we learn only in a later scene?

- Does it not happen, so as to provoke conflict of some kind? The best kind of confrontation scene is when a hidden truth or emotion rises to the surface and explodes. All that has been suppressed comes out into the open. But you have to be sure to set up this moment before by conveying the character’s inner feelings of frustration and tension.

- How will you portray the conflict? Dialogue? Use visuals to create tone and atmosphere? Subtext in the dialogue? Visual metaphors?

- Is there going to be a twist here, where you surprise the audience with a moment that’s unexpected?

- Is a character going to experience some kind of spiritual awakening or insight? An Epiphany scene will always create a change in a character’s emotional state, moral consciousness or attitude to the world.

- How will it end?

- How will it keep the storyline moving?

- What needs to happen in the next scene? Has this scene prepared for the following scene?

With all the scenes of the story experiment with what might happen (or what might NOT happen).

Be aware at a few points when writing your scene, of the whole storyline and how it will fit in with the narrative thread.

- Read it over. Does it have a discernible beginning, middle and end? Has something changed (whether big or small)?

Writing the Shots

A screenplay should never have explicit camera angles, but you can embed implied camera angles, pacing and rhythm into the shots for what you want them to express or suggest.

Here’s a very simple example:

‘She waits. She listens’:

Implied camera angle and length of shot: CUT TO LONG SHOT

and the (implied) door.

Implied camera angle and length of shot: PUSH TO CLOSE-UP

as she waits.

MID-SHOT as she listens.

‘She shakes her head’ :

Implied camera angle and length of shot: PUSH TO CLOSE-UP as she shakes her head.

This shows the pace of the scene, what it’s breathing like. Short sentences, the rhythm as you read, suggest suspense. We hold our breath at She waits. Then hold our breath again at She listens. Then again, before the tension is released at She shakes head, she’s hearing things again. Feel the difference if I’d written: ‘She waits and listens, then shakes her head.’ No pregnant pauses, no tension, and no real sense of release. Nothing to suggest time expanding or contracting.

Practise embedding implied camera angles like this to help make each of your scenes come alive with precise, evocative description lines.

Assess the importance of the Punt expedition to the reign to Hatshepsut.

Essay by extraordinary07High School, 12th gradeB+, March 2007

download word file, 5 pages 5.0

Downloaded 29 times

Along with her development of Egypt, Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt was one that she took great pride in, enough for it to be recorded in her mortuary temple. Along with the expedition came many positive outcomes, which included religious, economic and political benefits. Bentley believes that it was one of the most 'important events of her reign'.

One main feature of importance of the expedition was the economic impact that it had. Hatshepsut benefited greatly from the expedition, with many resources obtained. Redford states 'Hatshepsut was not blind to the need of bolstering Egypt's economy', emphasising that she was active in her trade missions. Bradley states 'the Egyptians needed a continuing supply of exotic products...' this illustrates the need for strong trade in order to maintain stability. The exotic products that they received included myrrh, incense, ebony, ivory, gold and even dancing pygmies, according to Tyldesley. These products were rare and objects such as these heightened the level of success of the Egyptians.

Tyldesley states that 'trade flourished' during her reign in contrast to the reigns of her predecessors.

The Speos Artemidos temple, middle Egypt quotes 'and Punt overflows me on the fields'. This temple shows the view of Hatshepsut in promotion of her expedition, thus it may have bias from her view. Hatshepsut used the expedition as propaganda and the temple may be to an extent biased. Tyldesley states 'presented the King with a marvellous propaganda coup...' illustrating her use of propaganda. This source ensures that there was economic growth and that the expedition did benefit her reign. With the economic benefits came support and it further justified her reign. The expedition also gave an opportunity for extended trade with other parts of the continent. The expedition opened up trade between Egypt and inner Africa, according to Bentley. Egypt...

Got back late last night but should have managed to correct all the typos pointed out in the comments before I finally crashed, feel free to let us know of any other mistakes!

Sorry for the delay in today’s chapter, had to go to the dentist to extract a wisdom tooth, thank god for pain killers

4 thoughts on “~WDQK Chapter 806~” - NO SPOILERS and NO CURSING

    1. Unfortunately, yes. It’s a couple hundred away from another chapter per week.
      Personally, I think the starting point for 1 extra chapter is a bit high, but it is their decision.
      But, all in all, I’m quite happy with 5 chapters per week, there are many novels that don’t get this many.

Also, I am not certain what happens to gear if item from inventory is placed over an item that is already filled in the inventory. It could be moved to an open slot in the backpack or get a stop message to move or remove items.

Obama. Secret remarks?
Photo: Reuters
Obama camp denies Jerusalem promised to Abbas
Dennis Ross vehemently denies report by Lebanese newspaper saying Democratic presidential hopeful told Abbas, Fayyad he would support their right to stable sovereign state. Senior Abbas aide also says report 'completely unfounded'
The Palestinian Authority has refrained from officially declaring its support for one of the US presidential hopefuls, claiming this was an "internal American issue", but a Lebanese newspaper reported Tuesday that Palestinian leaders in the West Bank are hoping for Democrat Barack Obama's victory.

Sources in Ramallah told the al-Akhbar daily that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad are expecting Obama to win, "despite his leaning towards Israel," which they said was aimed at gaining the support of the Israel and the Jewish lobby in the United States.

The sources said that during a recent meeting with Obama, the two Palestinian leaders "heard the best things they ever heard from an American president."

According to the report, the Democratic senator told Abbas and Fayyad that he "supports the rights of the Palestinians to east Jerusalem, as well as their right to a stable, sovereign state", but asked them to keep the remarks a secret.

Dennis Ross, a key advisor to Obama on foreign policy, denied the report outright. "As someone who was present in Senator Obama’s meeting with the Palestinian leadership, I can state definitively that there were no secret commitments made, and no discussion of Jerusalem whatsoever. This report is false,” his statement said.

Abbas' political advisor Nimer Hamad also said the report was completely unfounded, adding that during his meeting with the Palestinian leader in Ramallah, Obama "confirmed that he would work since the first day of his election to activate the peace process on the basis of the roadmap and agreements previously signed between the Palestinian and Israeli sides. We condemn any attempt to mislead the public opinion through incorrect statements attributed to him."

Hamad told the Lebanese paper that "the Palestinian Authority briefed Obama on the dangers threatening the efforts to achieve peace in the region,

and told him that the ongoing construction in the settlements will terminate the peace process.

"The Palestinian Authority views the American elections as an internal matter and does not favor one person over another. The PA hopes that the next American president will fulfill his commitment towards the Palestinians and pressure Israel," Hamad added.

'Stepping down with pride'. Olmert
Photo: Yoram Cohen
Olmert bids farewell to Knesset
At beginning of Netanyahu government's induction ceremony, outgoing PM says he is stepping down with 'head held high,' adding 'gaps with Palestinians not unbridgeable'
Farewell to politics: "I haven't a shred of bitterness or of anger. I'm stepping down with pride, with my head held high and with a deep sense of gratitude for the privilege I have had to lead the State of Israel," said outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Tuesday, as he addressed Knesset at the induction ceremony of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government.

Speaking of the Second Lebanon War, Olmert said that "the results of any war can only be determined over time. Depicting the war as one we have lost wrongs the truth."

Turning his attention to Operation Cast Lead, the departing prime minister said that "the IDF is the most ethical army in the world. We went to great lengths to keep civilians away from battle zones and we deeply regret any casualties. It is too early to sum up the achievements of the operation. We do know it was imperative and I am convinced it created the necessary deterrence needed to curb the arm smugglings into Gaza. The future will surely prove me right."

'I did it my way.' Olmert (Photo: Gil Yohanan)

"Gilad Shalit is still held captive," continued Olmert. "Throughout my term in office I have done everything I possibly could to ensure his safe return. I elasticized Israel's positions to the maximum and beyond. But even we have a red line… I am positive the new government will continue in the efforts to bring on Gilad's release.

"Our negotiations with the Palestinian have not matured into an agreement, but the gaps are not unbridgeable. In the Syrian avenue we were able to come to the threshold of direct negotiations, but we still have a way to go… A government that seeks peace, as the Israeli government was, a government which initiates and is willing to make concessions for peace has (international) support.

"I am finishing my term in office and retiring from politics," he concluded, "And as the song goes – I did it my way."

Abbas calls Kerry: Palestinian unity won't affect diplomacy with Israel

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called US Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday, saying the intra-Palestinian moves were a domestic matter that should not affect wider diplomacy with Israel and the West.

Abbas told Kerry "the coming government will be formed of independents and will represent the political agenda of the president," the official Palestinian news agency WAFA said. (Reuters)

Quality strikers are the key for Millers

Kari Arnason
Kari Arnason
Have your say

STEVE EVANS has pledged to shop on quality street in his quest to turn the Millers into League One promotion contenders.

The Millers manager, whose side welcome Carlisle United this afternoon, is plotting further transfer raids ahead of next week’s loan deadline, having already acquired talented Blackpool forward Nouha Dicko on loan this week.

The Millers are in the market for in-form St Johnstone marksman Stevie May, although the SPL outfit rate the 21-year-old in the £500,000 bracket.

Evans has also made a six-figure offer for a player based in England, with both deals thought to be initially loans leading to a permanent transfer.

The dual moves, allied to the deal to bring Dicko to South Yorkshire, is a certain marker of the club’s intent under go-ahead chairman Tony Stewart, who has consistently supported Evans in the transfer market.

Evans has been able to formulate a strong squad at the New York Stadium, with the Scot’s main preoccupation now being to bring in quality rather than quantity.

His striking pool continues to be an area of attention, mindful that Danny Hylton and Daniel Nardiello are out on loan at Bury.

Evans said: “We want real competition in every area of the pitch and I think we have got that. But we still feel there are areas in the squad where we want to add more quality, not quantity. I think the days of quantity have gone and we have a chairman who will help us do that.

“Strikers normally create competition for each other on the pitch and you can never have enough ammunition when you are trying to win or save a game. On the bench, you want two or three strikers and different kinds of strikers and that’s how it should be.”

Meanwhile, Evans admits everyone at the club feels for Icelander Kari Arnason, whose World Cup dream was dashed when they lost out to Croatia 2-0 on aggregate in their two legged play-off.

He continued: “If he is 100 per cent, Kari willl play (against Carlisle). I expect the big fella to be down because he cares; Kari is very proud to represent his country and proud of what they have achieved.

“He is down and disappointed as any man would be. It was probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kari would have got to go to a World Cup final.”

Today’s game has extra significance for current Millers’ first-choice goalkeeper Adam Collin, who is set to face the club he left in the summer.

The Cumbria-born goalkeeper, who recently claimed the No 1 jersey at the New York Stadium after replacing Scott Shearer in the starting line-up, spent four seasons at Brunton Park after joining in 2009.

Collin, who hails from Penrith, was wanted by sides in Scotland and England before deciding to join the Millers.

Youths and suicide

The subject of suicide is not an easy subject to talk about. However it is probably a subject which everyone will face at some point in life. Maybe through a good friend, a school friend or acquaintance at work who throws themselves into death, or a previous acquaintance from a youth group, who had taken part in a camp with you, takes his own life. It is shocking how many young people, how many teenagers take their life but even more worrying how many play with the idea.

How could an evening on this theme be started? A suggestion, a few ideas and questions for introducing the theme to young people:

  • Start off the subject with a few short stories.

  • Collect a few experiences from your own life

  • To what extent are the motives comprehensible? Can the youths comprehend the theme and the deep despair lurking in some people?

  • How could we approach the subject with youths who have suicidal tendencies? Can we (you) be bothered? Or what would you do?

  • If you were in such a situation, how would you react (a very difficult and private question)?

  • Would there be some situations where you could not see a way out?

  • To what extent could your belief be a help? Demonstrate that there can by many problems in life, but there are none so bad that you should throw your life away. Demonstrate that a life with Jesus can make things easier- obviously not “worry-free” but different and not so difficult. "Throw all of your worries to him, because he cares for you!" ... This is easily said- but those who have learnt to trust in Jesus and search for new power within him, will experience this.

I prepared in the past a themed evening covering the difficult and complicated subject of suicide: Have you thought about it before? Suicide!

The following story is symptomatic. When there are current cases of suicide by youths there are always hidden clues or clues which point to the deed.

It is Christian’s birthday. The sweet smell of freshly baked cheese cake floats through the apartment; that is Christian’s favourite cake. A few hours later: Patiently at first, but getting heavier and heavier, his mother knocks on the bathroom door. "Open up, Christian", she keeps screaming: No answer. Eventually she runs up the stairs to the caretaker of the house. He breaks open the door, but it is too late: Christian is dead — the fourteen year old had hanged himself with a belt.

Within a few hours, the seemingly ideal world of this family, had fell apart. Over the next days, his parents kept asking themselves the question over and over again: "What on earth have we done wrong?" They searched through his note books and folders, listened to his tapes — everything to try and come across a clue with which they might find out "why he did that?"

More and more parents have to ask themselves this question. After traffic accidents, suicide is next most common cause of death among youths in Germany. In the last two centuries, the number of suicides by young people has tripled. More than 500 children and young people choose to end their life in Germany every year. Over 15 000 attempted suicides are prevented: Experts call this a high “dark figure”. Just like Christian, lots of young people could still be alive today if their environment, especially their parents, classmates or friends had reacted to the warning signals, which are present in almost every suicide case. There are hardly any youths who simply decide to kill themselves “over night”, totally expected and on impulse. Suicide is usually the last step on a path of disappointment, crises and conflicts they cannot cope with. You will surely never be able to decipher a suicide, but the reasons for Christian’s self-chosen death could also be tracked down. He was the result of a failed environment, which fences young people in, burdens them and eventually crushes them. .

Christian grew up in an orderly family. Three years ago, the family moved into this multi-storey house. Only Christian managed to find new contacts in this new area. His parents and two sisters lived relatively isolated from the world. Christian’s father had worked his way up into a good position although he started off as a normal worker. He is very ambitious and strict. He would like his son to have it easier than him one day. Therefore Christian goes to the grammar school where he does not manage the work load and has to change to a high school. In this school, he manages to become a good scholar but he does bring the odd “D” or “E” home, for which he quickly receives a scolding and hassle. Out of fear he often hides his bad marks. Order and discipline is of utmost importance to Christian’s parents. Christian’s bedroom was always so shipshape but he had never played in it – he told his friend Klaus.

Christian only built up his railway tracks very seldom. He told his friend the reason for this: the trains make to much mess on the carpet for his mother. Klaus: "He’s not allowed to do anything – nothing at all." Christian always faced bans, limits and restraints.

His mother worries about Christian ,,almost panicky." I was always scared that something would happen to him", she said. Christian therefore always has to be home very early each evening, and he submits. Christian did not manage to stand up to his parents very often, which would normal at his age and necessary for his development. Once he is out of the tight family circle, amongst his friends, Christian is like a different person. The usually sensitive boy, quickly becomes aggressive. He always wants to appear particularly confident and brave in front of his friends and always plays the “hero". Klaus: "I often had the feeling that he was playing with his life."

Christian once balanced his way across the narrow bars of a high bridge, another time, he stuck a needle into his neck next to the vein. He boasts in front of his friends: "I am never scared." His over-exaggerated aggression, the way he played with his life — those were clear warning signals that Christian could no longer deal with the world he was living in and that he was mentally ill. There are however other pointers. His mother remembered that he had often asked his father: "Dad, what is it like to die?" but his parents did not pay any particular attention. They didn’t even wake up when Christian — a few weeks before the suicide — placed the bathrobe cord around his neck and pulled until he could not see. The warning signs could not be more clear or alarming! What was his parent’s reaction to his "cry for help"? Instead of taking Christian to a doctor, or even better, psychological therapy, to finally talk with their son about his problems, to give him particular love and tenderness and point him in the right direction. Christian told his friends later that his mother had simply said: "So that you don’t get into anymore stupidity, we’ll have to get stricter." We don’t need any great level of imagination to understand how Christian felt. At this point at the latest, he must have felt completely alone, without any more trust towards his parents and without a way out of the difficulties within the family. Now only a small occurrence was enough, 'to trigger off what Christian obviously saw to be the only solution to his problems: suicide. It seems that this little occurrence was an “E” in Geography, which he brought home on that Friday, his birthday, in his half-term report. His class teacher said later: "I did not notice that it was such a shock for him." However how terrible this “E” was, no-one really knows. It was definite that Christian, before he killed himself, had tried to find help two more times. He had told his 14 year old girlfriend, Karin — a little blurred – he wanted to go away and not come back to school on Monday. She found this a little strange but did not question any further. "He spoke so chaotically", she said later. Christian also said to his sister, quite overtly: "I will kill myself. You’ll see”. Maybe he secretly hoped that his sister would run to his mother and tell her about his threat and that his mother would save him and everything would be OK. However the two girls do not take Christian’s last despairing warning seriously and do not deal with it. He goes into the bathroom and shuts the door behind him ...

Using the examples of famous pop stars, you can go deeper into this subject. In the past, and also present times, there are many examples of pop stars who have taken their lives. Despite money, success, (seemingly) lots of friends, super parties, and luxury etc. could not expel the inner loneliness, the inner despair, emptiness and the search for life.

  • In January 1978, the guitarist of “Chicago”, Terry Kath, took his own life with a shot to the head while playing Russian roulette.

  • Otis Redding, Jim Croce, Marc Bolan and lots of others died in traffic accidents.

  • Elvis Presley died on the 16. August 1977.

  • "Take as much as you can for as long as you can. Live intensively, love heavily, die young", were key texts of Janis Joplin. During production of her LP "Pearls", she was found dead in a Los Angeles motel room on the 4th October 1970. She had died of heroin poisoning.

  • Jimi Hendrix choked on his own vomit due to barbiturate poisoning.

  • Keith Moon (pop group “The Who”) died of an overdose of narcotics.

  • Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) committed suicide in April 1994

  • Rozz Williams, the former Christian Death Singer hanged himself in his flat in West Hollywood in 1998. He was 34 years old. He made his first recordings with Christian Death as he was a teenager. He could never get rid of the dark wave/gothic-image, despite trying.

  • There are many other examples: (Kevin Wilkinson, Brian O'Hara, Screaming Lord Sutch, William Tucker, Adrian Borland, Wendy O'Williams, Rozz Williams, Michael Hutchence)

The following questions can be posed:

  • What might have been the reasons for suicide?

  • What role did music play? Was it a type of valve, an escape from a world of "recognition, money and “being on top"?

  • Was it a search for freedom?

  • What are our dreams? Would you also like to be famous? Have lots of money? A famous pop star, artist. Footballer, successful manager etc.? What are your dreams? What will happen once you have achieved this? What will happen next?

Somebody once said: "I planned my life perfectly. I wrote everything in a small black book. Once I had everything that I had planned, I realised I had nothing." Lots of people are in a similar situation. Dreams which are not fulfilled, or if the aims of all dreams have been achieved, people feel empty. Some people cannot take this and long for more. For love? For security? For something meaningful? If someone does not find or receive what he was looking for, they might not be able to see any other way.

To what extent can you give direction to the youths lives?

To what extent can you be a Samaritan if needs be?

To what extent do you reckon with Jesus?

Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too.  Though Stan died in 2005, and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

What a fun sticker & activity book! I haven’t met a kid that didn’t love them and the fact that the theme of this one is The Berenstain Bears Christmas Fun is just icing on the cake! My kids are 8, 7 and almost 3 and I have both boys and a girl and this book had universal appeal.

I like that there are a variety of things and that each of my kids liked different activities. My youngest is most into the stickers! There are over 50 reusable stickers to put in the pictures and it was fun to tell the story with Jax and watch him try to figure out where they go. I think the term “reusable” is subject to interpretation! If a toddler has handled them, they don’t really sustain the wear and literal tears!

My older son is totally left brained and is my thinker and problem solver. He likes the things like the maze and decoder. My daughter is more the artistic type and enjoys coloring and drawing so there were plenty of those for her too!

The Berenstain Bears Christmas Fun Sticker & Activity Book is a really good variety of activities that appeal to kids of all ages and both genders. It would make a great affordable gift for the kids on your list this year! (Posted on 12/12/2016)

The Berenstain Bears are so much fun during the holidays. The character lessons they teach are great lessons that need to be taught to our children and almost always they are based on Scripture. Sticker and Activity books have been around forever. I remember doing them as a child and now my children can take over the tradition without being glued to a game screen.

The Berenstain Bears: Christmas Sticker & Activity Book is a great piece of entertainment for your child ages 4-8 years. It is portable and can be taken anywhere with the child and will provide about an hours worth of fun and it is all based on Christmas.

**Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author. (Posted on 11/14/2016)

The Berenstain Bears Christmas Fun Sticker & Activity Book is a fun way for children to learn about Jesus birth. Jan and Mike Berenstain created activities that will keep children busy while they enjoy the holiday. The book will entertain kids for hours while mom and dad prepare for Christmas or would be a great family time activity to do together. Either way your child will enjoy this colorful book. This would be a great gift before Christmas. I plan to share it with my grandchildren and have some holiday fun. I'm tempted to work a few of the puzzles myself. So get out the crayons and pencils and have fun with your little ones with this fantastic book. I received this book free from Zonderkidz. (Posted on 11/6/2016)

“The Berenstain Bears Christmas Fun – Sticker and Activity Book” was sent to me from Zonderkidz – a division of Zondervan Publishing – free of charge, in exchange for my honest review of it.
As I’ve said many times, I am thrilled that Mike Berenstain has continued the tradition of what has been Berenstain Bears since 1963, when his mom and dad started it. It has always been full of character building and value teaching, and Mike has now added an element of Christian guidance to it. I just love that my grandchildren can enjoy the same high quality series that I did as a little girl, and my boys did when they were little!
This is an activity book with stickers, coloring pages, and lots of easy puzzles.
I’d highly recommend this book, and all of the Berenstain Bears books to little ones, and those who read to, or teach, them.

Mayor de Blasio and Fire Commissioner Nigro Hold 148th Annual Medal Day Ceremony

June 7, 2017

On Wednesday, June 7th, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro presided at FDNY’s 148th annual Medal Day Ceremony at City Hall.
62 members of the Department, including, Firefighters, Paramedics, EMTs, Fire Marshals, and Officers received medals for their life-saving work in the last year.

Mayor de Blasio highlighted how the FDNY is no greater example of courage and sacrifice. "Today, we honor 62 heroes who came to rescue in most dire circumstances - their heroic acts are extraordinary, yet reflect the dangerous reality members face every day," said Mayor de Blasio.

"Today, we celebrate New York's Bravest and we gather and honor the most remarkable of those life-saving rescues, acts of valor which represent the very greatest traditions of our Department," said Commissioner Nigro. "I am proud of each of you for your remarkable acts of bravery - and thank you for going above and beyond in keeping our citizens safe."
Firefighter James P. Lee of Rescue Company 1 received the James Gordon Bennett Medal and NYS Honorary Fire Chiefs Association Medal for deploying a risky and rare roof-rope rescue technique to rescue a trapped victim in a multiple dwelling fire in October 2016. In this rescue effort, Firefighter Andrew Hawkins of Ladder Company 43 will be awarded the Emily Trevor/Mary B. Warren Medal; and Firefighter William M. McGarry of Ladder Company 26; will be awarded the Emerald Society Pipes and Drums Medal. In the same month of this rescue, Mayor de Blasio personally thanked the members at the quarters of Engine 53 and Ladder 43.

Reflecting on his medals and his rescue, Firefighter Lee said, "today is a great day for our families and the companies but also a great day for the Department and especially the kids. The kids love the ceremony and they look up to us."

Firefighter Lee also highlighted the teamwork in the rescue and highlighted the rigorous training members go through at the Fire Academy. "We signed up to do a job, we just did it and did it well," said Firefighter Lee.
EMT Ryan Gref received the Christopher J. Prescott Medal for deescalating an altercation at a restaurant – EMT Gref disarmed and subdued an individual wielding two large knives – meanwhile, EMT Gref’s partner Bruce Fonseca radioed for emergency assistance and began providing medical treatment to the victim. EMT Gref stated – “we both have very outstanding training from the Fire Department, I really did not have too much time to think, you just have to act, so I acted in the best way I could.”

Firefighter Sean T. Cosgrove received the Commissioner Edward Thompson Medal for locating and saving Claudia Hernandez – a victim of a fire in a sixth floor apartment in Queens. Approximately, a month after the fire, Firefighter Cosgrove was reunited with Ms. Hernandez who kindly thanked all the members involved in responding to the incident and saving her life.

FDNY Ladder 28 members Captain John P. Gormley, Firefighter Damon S. Alston, Firefighter Daniel M. Bellew, Firefighter Joseph B. McPartland, Firefighter Thomas K. Newbert, and Firefighter John P. Salva of Ladder Company 28 of Manhattan received the World Trade Center Memorial Medal for their bravery in rescuing four patients and assisting many others at a fire on January 18th.

OGC(R) Forms GeoSMS Standards Working Group

WAYLAND, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 21, 2010 -- The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) announces the formation of an Open GeoSMS Standards Working Group (SWG) ( http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/geosmsswg). The Open GeoSMS SWG will advance the OGC Candidate Open GeoSMS Standard ( http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=36261) as an OGC adopted standard. The GeoSMS candidate standard is currently an OGC "Discussion Paper."

The candidate Open GeoSMS standard defines a short messaging service (SMS) encoding to exchange lightweight location information between different mobile devices or applications. Currently such devices or applications are often unable to share location information with each other because of technical incompatibilities between systems used by different device and platform vendors. This causes problems for users and imposes obstacles to industry growth. The GeoSMS encoding for location is compatible with other OGC standards, such as those for sensor webs and earth imaging. It is also compatible with standards such as the OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) standard and the IETF RFC Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO). The OGC works with OASIS, IETF and many other standards development organizations to make geospatial information and services an integral and fluid part of the world's information infrastructure.

The OGC is an international consortium of more than 395 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled.

Ethical issue

A city employee who operates substandard rental property is a poor reflection on our city government.

September 2, 2007

A landlord who has been fined for substandard conditions at his own rental property doesn't seem like the ideal person to be handling landlord-tenant mediation for the city's Human Relations Department.

The situation becomes even more complicated when the problems go beyond the physical condition of the rental property and into an area that may be covered by the city's disorderly house ordinance.

Unfortunately, that is the situation now facing Lawrence city officials. Paul Winn, who mediates landlord-tenant disputes for the city, is being prosecuted for the second time in a year for renting property that doesn't measure up to the city's housing code. He was fined in a similar case last year.

The problems in the houses include such things as water leaking through ceilings and rotted doors and flooring. But on top of that, neighbors say, the latest case involves a house where convicted offenders are living and criminal activity may be occurring.

This is a difficult situation that will require some careful handling by city officials, but it shouldn't be allowed to continue. Although City Manager David Corliss is an attorney himself and knows better than to discuss a personnel matter in public, his statements to the Journal-World indicate he is concerned about the situation.

"I believe the city commissioners and public have an expectation that everyone who has a city position be above reproach and have the highest levels of ethics in their work," Corliss said, adding that Winn would receive no special treatment and that his case would be prosecuted like any other filed in the city.

There seems little question that this situation casts doubt on Winn's ethical standards. The code violations would reflect poorly on any city employee, but they are particularly troubling for someone in Winn's position. His own conduct as a landlord could easily raise suspicions about his ability to be fair and impartial in mediating landlord-tenant disputes, even if those disputes are based on discrimination issues rather than code compliance.

The integrity of the department is at stake, which is no small matter for the city commissioners and city manager. Winn certainly deserves his day in court, but given his previous violations and the pending cases, the city must carefully assess the impact his presence on the city payroll has on public confidence in local government.

I bet this guy is a friend of James Dunn as well.

TheLawrenceFox 10 years, 1 month ago

Know him?!? Know him?!? He's on Winn's FREAKin advisory board for the City!

"JAMES DUNN is President of the Landlords of Lawrence, Inc. Mr. Dunn is also a member of the Oread Neighborhood Association and a member of the Lawrence Human Relations Commission."

Dunn's name may also have been associated as one that operates slum properties.

Sounds like slum lords stick pretty close in this town. Think they have a morning breakfast club meeting?

Birds of a feather flock together. But not in a gay-way. Because that's wrong...being gay, that is. Those gay people don't deserve rights. That's what God says. It doesn't take a slum lord/neighborhood activist/equal rights advocate/internet "pastor" to know this simple truth...

Some present and past city commissioners are as guilty as Paul Winn no question about it. This will be interesting. How many other movers and shakers of Lawrence are equally as guilty?

monkeyhawk (Anonymous) says:

"He should have been relieved of his city position after the first violation. He should now at least be suspended without pay and forced to live in that property while he is "fixing" it. Does this house fall into the category of residences that require city inspection?

It is outrageous that single family zoned landlords must submit to the city intrusion while a city employee continues to operate a suspected drug house and is housing convicted criminals."

Maybe Mr. Corliss can begin to clean up the house, otherwise known as city hall. Many of us law abiding landlords would never dream of providing substandard housing, and feel that our properties are a reflection of ourselves. It is ludicrous that my money is paying the salary of some "do gooder" slumlord who feels that he is beyond reproach. Someone earlier stated that this guy is fully aware of all the ins and outs of tenancy. He obviously got a free pass the first time, as he is still in his position.

"Some present and past city commissioners are as guilty as Paul Winn no question about it. This will be interesting. How many other movers and shakers of Lawrence are equally as guilty?"

This is NOW, and the city has an opportunity to show the little people that ALL shall be treated equally and fairly, with the law applying to everyone.

James Dunn may charge high rents, but I rented from him for some time, and can't say that I consider his properties 'slum' by any means, expensive, but not slums! (he sprayed every month, and all the apts that I saw were in more than good condition....) Lemme see...slum lords? Jim Rose comes to mind...but he's no 'mover or shaker'

Ragingbear 10 years, 1 month ago

James Dunn tried to rent out an apartment to a friend of mine that had leaking pipes and exposed wires in the room he said would make a good children's bedroom.

Good luck getting your deposit back from him as well. I have heard of several dozen people having to take him to court to get it returned. In court he will do things like forge signatures and show photographs of apartments other than the one at hand.

He also runs around saying that he offers apartments so that homeless individuals on the street can get Sect. 8 and then have a place to stay. What he failed to tell anyone is that he only have 8 apartments that qualify for Sect. 8. The rest charge too much unless your a multi-person household.

I think some of you need to read the article alittle more closely. I didn't see anything listed about the sub-standard condition of the apartment(s) owned by Mr. Winn. I saw sometime about getting a fine in the past and possible some drug activity which was not being cited by LPD. Furthermore, how many of you seriously enjoy being found guilty before you had your day in court. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty in this country. Also, how many of you messed on your job more a couple of times and still have that job!!! How about showing a little compassion and giving some encouragement, work a for positive cause instead of working in petty matters.

Godot 10 years, 1 month ago

Monkeyhawk is right. Now is now. Fix the problem. Make all landlords, not just those of single family dwellings, but also those of mulitple family dwelling, subject to inspection and licenensure. Hire and train the number of inspectors necessary to complete the inspections, and enforce the code. Level the playing field so that municipal law does not favor owners of duplexes, triplexses, and apartments over owners of single family rental units. If that is not politically feasible, then rescind the ordinance that subjects single family rentals to licensure and inspection.

Ragingbear 10 years, 1 month ago

Mr. Winn is black? I didn't know Kansas allowed them to be in local politics. After all, half of Kansas is still against allowing African-Americans the right to vote.

could this guy be the token third employee? i wonder what he makes?

Double Take: Parent trying to head off playing favorites

July 27, 2010

Dear Dr. Wes and Samantha: I’d like to be closer to my teen daughter, 13, who is suddenly pulling away in favor of friends. I realize this is part of the natural independence process, but here is my dilemma. We have two children, the daughter and a 10-year-old son. He is happy, friendly, emotionally attentive and considerate. He is outgoing and pleasant and enjoys time with mom. He physically resembles his dad, but his personality is similar to mine, so it’s an easy relationship. My daughter is more independent and willful, physically resembling me but different personality-wise. I am concerned about treating them equally. I love them both, but he is easier to be around, and I worry about favoring him. My daughter is shy by nature but is suddenly a bit more irritable toward us. I want to treat them both equally, but I struggle with her attitude. How do I reconcile these feelings? I fear caring for one more than the other.

Samantha: First, I want to commend you for being so in touch with your feelings about your children. Not all parents realize when they’re choosing favorites, and it sounds like you know you should resist the temptation to do so as much as possible.

It’s totally natural to feel closer to one of your children when the other is going through a difficult phase. The key word here is phase. Your teen daughter is not going to ignore you to spend time with her friends forever, and, unfortunately, your son won’t stay a mom-adoring, 10-year-old delight either. Right now, your son is the one with whom you connect. He wants to be around you, and he makes you feel needed. Your daughter, on the other hand, is experimenting with independence, and that’s OK.

You and your daughter will naturally disagree more during this phase of her life, but it is my prediction that you’ll end up good friends. Sometimes having opposite personalities makes for a great relationship in the long run. If your daughter is similar to your husband and you like your husband, you’ll eventually like her.

Remember: you don’t have to like your daughter through every minute of this phase; you just have to love her. And it’s not that you love your son more right now, you just like him better because your personalities match. She may drive you crazy, but she’ll always be your daughter. That being said, it’s important to pick your battles. A little more eyeliner than you approve of? Let it go. Gobs of eyeliner, a mini-skirt and fishnet tights? Take a stand.

During this phase, fights will be abundant, so you’ll want some positive interactions to balance the negative ones. Find something you like to do together. It may involve some compromise on your end. Bear with her through a dumb reality TV show, offer to straighten her hair, or laugh with her at YouTube videos. Make it clear that you want to spend time with her whenever she’s interested.

I know this is a frustrating time, but you and your daughter can get through this phase with a happy ending if you stay positive and find ways to connect with her. Best of luck!

Wes: As the year progresses, it gets harder and harder to match Samantha’s advice. Thankfully, she only has a couple of weeks left to show me up, then off to college where she belongs. I agree with everything she suggests, and I’d add the following. Parenting is by far the most selfless act we do as modern Americans. In previous generations, this was not so. We raised kids for labor on the farm, to take care of us in our old age and to provide grandchildren to do more of the same. Today the act of raising a child has mostly spiritual and emotional benefits, which is why I’m such an advocate of planned pregnancy. We each need to be as ready as possible, before we take on this important role. Our little way to change the world.

Unfortunately the higher ideals of parenting fade into the fog of adolescence as kids reach the age of 13, regardless of how well things started out. So this may not get any better until your daughter is out of the home. That’s actually one of the reasons I love working with this age group and writing about them — because they are so interesting, complex and unpredictable. But in the end the rewards are tremendous.

The best thing you can do over the next few years is to transcend your ego. Think first about your daughter’s needs (and I don’t mean an iPod Touch). Try not to take her distancing personally, but always be personally ready to support her through it. Demand that she (and your son, just a few years behind) be ethical and moral people, and hold them to reasonable standards, no matter how they may resist or hate you for it. At the same time, accept graciously the fact that they will rarely be respectful during that process. Real respect doesn’t gel in adults until the mid-20s when, if you do your job correctly, your daughter will awaken one day and gasp, “Oh my God, mom was so right about [fill in the blank].” And that is as it should be. Be patient. Nobody I know is interested in raising a good teenager. We are instead interested in raising good adults. The path from here to there lies unavoidably along the stressful years of adolescence. It is up to you to manage how that relationship works, even if your daughter has all the power to engage in it.

I’ll leave you with my favorite quote about parenting from Garrison Keillor, oft cited in this column over the years. “Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.”

Coastal style, country charm on runways

May 10, 2010

Finally, the weather permits sleeveless tops in the evening and skirts without tights. Read on for the hottest spring and summer trends and fresh outfit ideas to kick off the season.

Sunset, surfer girl and island motifs:

Comfortable clothing in the earth’s boldest natural hues makes me want to take a vacation! Switch out your khaki shorts and army-green trench coat for dreamier, sunset-like colors.

  1. Throw on some bright pinks, purples and blues for a flash of color and change of routine.

  2. If you simply can’t do that much color, look for a palm-tree printed top or dress in muted colors, like grey, light blue and a splash of lime green. (Check out Prada’s line of printed satin dresses on

Gone country:

While the fashion world remains obsessed with cowboys, fringe details, rough leather accessories, cotton workshirts and calico dresses, I’m still here thinking … have ya’ll ever been to Kansas? Let the rest of the country try on our kind of clothing, and just sit back, relax and maintain that slow, easy-going Midwestern fashion mentality.

But, do keep it up to date:

  1. Try a look that’s modern and clean. Purchase a button-front skirt and some leather, raffia or canvas country wedges, perfect for sunny weather (I’ve been pining for Current/Elliott’s Cotton Skirt, check it out at

  2. Opt for vintage styles with unique cuts or higher rises (but only if the shape is flattering for you).

This spring and summer, the minimalist fashion movement is on the rise. It is difficult to avoid today’s everywhere, super-trendy apparel and accessories; however, consider a more streamlined style that is practical, efficient and effortless. Start small:

  1. Find your perfect purse or tote bag (check out the box bag by Celine for one of my favorites).

  2. Wear pearls. They are no longer reserved solely for special occasions, graduations or funerals. Not into the typical pearl-strand necklace or earrings? Find interesting new pearl accessories for a bit of character and modernity. Get inspired by Lady Gaga’s face pearls as photographed during New York Fall Fashion Week 2010.

Soft technicolor:

Bright, neon colors are entirely funky and eye-catching; however, if paired properly, technicolor accents are entirely appropriate for all ages and most occasions.

  1. Perfect for daytime wear, try wearing soft blues, pinks or crèmes with neon- bright accessories, eye makeup or lipstick. An understated color paired with a small dose of one or two loud, bright colors makes a great color palette that isn’t too over the top. Check out Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Super for a powerful hot pink.

  2. Pair neon clothing with natural, toned-down accessories, like wooden bangles or understated hoop earrings. Also, keep your hair pretty low-key — trust me, honey, a neon-green dress will speak for itself.
