Unlike traditional Microsoft Outlook read receipts, you don't have to take any additional steps when you send your emails, and your recipients don’t have to click anything to trigger the email delivery confirmation.

<p>I have been trying to publish my book for years. I am just a struggling "want to be author" with the dream of having my book out there for the world to read. So i have been surveying the free online publishing options for a while now. I thought, with the "free online world" it would be much easier to save money and get published. But the sad fact is that 95% of all the websites out there that lure you in with ads saying "publish your book online for free" are not really free options. They pull you in and then its the same old game all over again.</p>
<p>So I have been rethinking the concept of "Publishing". Of course the real goal is getting people to read your book. And to do that you must get your book in front of people. So in actuality there is still hope of accomplishing the goal of "Publishing" my book. Its just not going to be done initially on paper but digitally.</p>
<p>Just punching the search term "Publish my book online for free" will bring up a lot of different options. So you have to really spend some time going through each website and filtering out the jokers, mom and popers and dead websites.</p>
<p>But in the end none of them really looked like they could help me accomplish my goal of "Getting my book in front of people". Some would help me get my book online but that's like having a book in the middle of the forest, who is going to know about it. Some were just clubs about books already published.</p>
<p>I needed a service that would help me get my book into a online digital form and then help me get it in front of people to read it. I needed the Facebook of publishing companies. Free with lots of people. So guess what, i created it myself. Check it out at <a href="http://newauthorsclub.com/" target="_blank">NewAuthorsClub.com "Publish my Book online for Free"</a></p>

<a href="http://slateroofingraleighnc.view10.com/">Slate Roofing Problems in Raleigh NC</a><br/><br/>Tile and slate can both crack, because of severe weather along with natural deterioration. Cracks in tiles usually occur on account of imperfect firing in the clay tile within the kiln. Hairline cracks, formed in the firing process, is usually exploited by vegetation and rainwater. In every cases, the expansion of the crack leads to a weakening of the tile, which in time can falter. Such cracking might occur throughout the width or the depth from the tile. In each case the pattern of cracking might appear different, and the reliability of the tile may be inconsistent<br/><br/>Cracking across the nail or peg holes also occurs. A natural weakness, the expansion of rusting iron nails as well as swelling wooden pegs can exacerbate any imperfection, including ragged holes. Other imperfections that may create problems include parts of tile which can be subtly different in their makeup, and either fire harder or softer than the rest of the batch. Occasionally too, there might be small stones within the tile which expand and crack when fired. In instances where such imperfections are generally overlooked within the production process, cracking and deterioration will occur once fixed to a roof. Freezing weather following rain boosts the amount of the water inside the roof covering (because water expands upon freezing). Freezing, over time, could cause cracking.<br/><br/>De-lamination<br/><br/>De-lamination with the underside with the covering is characteristic of slate which has deteriorated through water ingress. The geology in the material signifies that it consists of a lot of layers, which could over time separate through water ingress. This is often a particular problem because over time the de-lamination may become so severe that the slate has stopped being good at preventing rainwater getting in the structure. Clay tile can also be subject to a similarly destructive process, but since it is man-made and not natural, it crumbles instead of delaminates. This sort of deterioration is caused either through the freezing / thawing cycles of rainwater which has been drawn up the underside of the covering, over several years, or from the salts in rainwater that have effectively broken down the material. Capillary action also occurs across the joints of tiles and slates and is then drawn to the underside of the covering and into the fabric. Again, during a span of time cracking of the edges of the covering can occur.<br/><br/><br/>Only during repair work may such harm to the covering be discovered.<br/><br/>Nail sickness<br/><br/>This can be a term applied to nails which are so seriously rusted that they can no longer carry out their process correctly. Many years of condensation or rainwater ingress affect the strength of the iron nails, which can ultimately fail. On a roof with an severe issue, the whole covering can slump.<br/>Crystal Bowersox People Get Readytag:knolstuff.com,2010-04-21:1781665:BlogPost:1229132010-04-21T16:11:29.000Zknolstuffhttps://knolstuff.com/profile/knolstuff

Instrumentation varies, but generally contains brass and percussion. Given their original purpose, military Marching Band/Drills typically march in a forward direction with straight lines. Music is performed at a constant tempo to facilitate the steady marching of the entire military group with which the band is playing. This style can include classic drum and bugle corps, pipe bands and fife and drum corps.</span></p>

Due to a lack of competition venues, military personnel, and interest, almost all military Marching Band/Drills have disappeared from schools in the United States; three notable exceptions are the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band from Texas A&M University, the Highty-Tighties of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, and the Cadets of Norwich University Military College of Vermont, the oldest collegiate band in the United States and the nation’s first private military academy. There is also a pocket of about 80 high school military Marching Band/Drills in East Texas, influenced by the Aggie Band in nearby College Station. They have formed the National Association of Military Marching Band/Drills in order to preserve the tradition of military marching band drills.</span></p>

During football games, they normally perform their field show before the game and at halftime (and sometimes after the game as well). Competitive show bands perform only one show that is continually refined throughout a season, while bands that focus on entertainment rather than competition usually perform a unique (and less technically challenging) show for each game. These shows normally consists of three to five musical pieces accompanied by formations. Depending on the band, though the show could be practiced and completed before the football season at band camp but mostly this is only done by competition show bands. Also depending on the type of show band, the instrumentation can contain entirely brass instruments and percussion instruments, and may or may not use woodwinds or a percussion pit. The show design also depends on the type of show band. For example, a typical college half-time show is designed for the entertainment of the audience, whereas a competitive high school Marching Band/Drill might be more concerned with showing off their musical and visual abilities to the judges.</span></p>National health insurance exchangetag:knolstuff.com,2010-03-20:1781665:BlogPost:1206682010-03-20T22:51:11.000Zknolstuffhttps://knolstuff.com/profile/knolstuff

<br />
<a href="http://nationalhealthinsurance-exchange.net/">Explaining Health Care Re form: What Are Health Insurance Exchanges?</a><br/>
A number of recent health care reform plans call for the creation of a health insurance “exchange,“ a new entity<br/>
intended to create a more organized and competitive market for health insurance by offering a choice of plans,<br/>
establishing common rules regarding the offering and pricing of insurance, and providing information to help<br/>
consumers better understand the options available to them.<br/>
An exchange is part of the plan aiming for universal coverage currently being implemented in Massachusetts<br/>
(where it is called the “Connector“). It was also featured in proposals from the major Democratic candidates for<br/>
President (including President Obama), in the Healthy Americans Act sponsored by Senators Ron Wyden and<br/>
Bob Bennett (where they are called Health Help Agencies), and in a white paper released by Senate Finance<br/>
Committee Chair Max Baucus. In all of these plans, the exchange is a key element in providing coverage to the<br/>
currently uninsured and in facilitating changes to the insurance market, particularly for those who buy insurance<br/>
on their own. Some proposals allow employers or employees to purchase coverage through the exchange as well.<br/>

<a href="http://crystalbowersox.ning.com/">Crystal Bowersox Fansite</a><br/>-"American Idol" contestant Crystal Bowersox, talking to MTV News' Jim
Cantiello about her status as the current favorite on the ninth season<br/>
of the show. Bowersox chatted with Cantiello during the Top 12 party in<br/>
Hollywood on Thursday night (March 11), where the dozen remaining<br/>
contestants met the media and began to get acquainted with their new<br/>
lives as stars in both music and television. Bowersox is a rare case in<br/>
the world of "American Idol," as she had never really seen the show<br/>
prior to auditioning, so she is constantly being surprised by aspects<br/>
of the show. "I had no idea what happens behind the scenes," she told<br/>
Cantiello. The resident MTV News "American Idol" expert also asked<br/>
Bowersox about the group numbers that open up every show. "I may not<br/>
look like I'm having the best time, but I am. I enjoy it," she said.<br/>
<br/>
So far, Bowersox has had a handful of excellent performances but may be<br/>
best known for her hospital stay that nearly cost her a spot on the<br/>
show. But she ended up recovering in time to tear the house down, which<br/>
became her personal highlight. "My favorite performance was 'As Long As<br/>
I Can See the Light,'" she told Cantiello. "Hours earlier I had gotten<br/>
out of the hospital, and I was just really happy to be healthy enough<br/>
to perform that song."<br/><br/>“American Idol” contestant Crystal Bowersox went to the hospital
yesterday, and the show switched up the schedule to accommodate her.<br/>
The boys performed last night instead of the girls, who will perform<br/>
tonight. I’ve got the scoop on why Crystal Bowersox went to the<br/>
hospital and some thoughts on how it will affect the competition.<br/>
Crystal Bowersox’s hospital visit<br/>
<br/>
Crystal Bowersox went to the hospital because of diabetes<br/>
complications, according to Us Weekly. However, though her absence<br/>
pushed the girls’ competition to tonight, Crystal Bowersox’s hospital<br/>
stay was short and sweet. The magazine reports that she is cleared to<br/>
perform tonight, when the “American Idol” competition will resume with<br/>
the girls’ performances.<br/>
<br/>
It’s a bit early to be betting your paycheck loans on who is going to<br/>
take the title, but I think Crystal Bowersox will remain a competitor<br/>
on “American Idol” for quite some time. Furthermore, Crystal Bowersox’s<br/>
hospital trip can only improve her chances. Now that she’s all over the<br/>
news, more people will be paying attention to Crystal Bowersox if they<br/>
weren’t already.<br/>
A different type of contestant<br/>
<br/>
“American Idol” judges have said from the beginning that Crystal<br/>
Bowersox isn’t your usual “American Idol” contestant. Even Crystal<br/>
Bowersox herself has said that she never imagined herself being on<br/>
“American Idol.” She is very open about the fact that she only tried<br/>
out for “American Idol” because of her son. This woman doesn’t want to<br/>
rely on payday loan companies to support her family.<br/>
<br/>
Her story and her honesty have won her fans. Her performances have won<br/>
over viewers like me; she has been one of my favorites all along. Now,<br/>
Crystal Bowersox’s hospital trip will only improve her chances, as<br/>
sympathy from the audience will probably affect some voters who didn’t<br/>
already favor her.<br/>
‘American Idol’ this week<br/>
<br/>
Although the boys didn’t get many rave reviews from the judges last<br/>
night, they seemed prepared for the switch-up. There were a few strange<br/>
twists as Lee Dewyze and Andrew Garcia left their guitars back stage,<br/>
and Casey James traded acoustic for electric.<br/>
<br/>
Now that she’s out of the hospital, Crystal Bowersox will be back to<br/>
perform and compete with the other girls on a two-hour “American Idol”<br/>
tonight. Just like last week, the results of the vote — meaning who is<br/>
eliminated — will be announced Thursday.<br/>Albert Pujols is the Last Hope For Baseballtag:knolstuff.com,2009-08-05:1781665:BlogPost:983072009-08-05T15:54:38.000Zknolstuffhttps://knolstuff.com/profile/knolstuff

Albert Pujols is the Last Hope For Baseball<br />
In an era where any homerun hit by a baseball player is scrutinized left and right, we as fans need to sit back and enjoy what we are seeing by Albert Pujols. <a href="http://www.pujolslasthope.com/" target="_blank">Albert Pujols Last Hope Website</a>. What he is accomplishing right now is nothing short of spectacular, putting up numbers that we haven’t seen since Ruth played the game.<br />
Right now Pujols is slugging the ball with authority, batting well over .300 with 36 homeruns and creeping up to 100 RBI’s. It’s not everyday that we see numbers like this a few weeks after the All-Star Break. However, his amazing performance this season is over shadowed with names like Bonds, Censeco, and even more recently, A-Rod and Manny.<br />
Pujols has publicity stated that he is disappointed that his name has to be mentioned with other players who have taken short cuts to get ahead of the game..and doesn’t think it is fair that whispers of steroids have to be floated around with every homerun he hits this year. He has even said he would take a drug test every day if need be, as he if confident in his ability to play the game and how far he has gotten being a clean athletic. A few months ago Pujols graced the cover of Sports Illustrated with the caption “Don’t be Afraid to Believe in Me”.<br />
And we aren’t…Pujols popularity is at an all time high...and even though there will always be whispers of steroids and HGH with him or any other big time player, one could argue that this is actually helping Pujols this season. He is making a case for the Triple Crown and putting up video game type numbers. With all the talk of Manny and A-Rod this year, fans from all over the country want to see Pujols succeed just because he is the new face of clean baseball, the way it should be played. Not only are Cardinal fans rooting for Pujols this year, but fans of pure baseball, fans who love the game the way it should be played.<br />
Pujols is showing that he is the savior of baseball, urging people to believe that a clean game still exists, and his performance this year speaks for itself. Pujols has shown that his 2009 campaign is no fluke, he has consistently crushed the ball in every park he goes to, and will continue to for years to come. He was the fastest player to ever get to 300 career homeruns, and he is also the only player ever to hit 30 or more dingers in his first eight seasons. Pujols has always been the model of consistency, and right now it looks as though he will surpass Barry Bonds as the homerun king. How fitting that Pujols will most likely catch up to and pass the face of steroid baseball and hold the title of all time homerun king. Right now Pujols seems to be the only hope for baseball, and he is giving every fan of the game a reason to believe.Bing.com Launched by Microsofttag:knolstuff.com,2009-05-29:1781665:BlogPost:890102009-05-29T15:53:24.000Zknolstuffhttps://knolstuff.com/profile/knolstuff
Bing.com Search Engine from Microsoft<br />
<br />
Microsoft's new search engine will be named Bing.com. Microsoft is planning a huge advertising campaign to launch Bing.com. It is reported that it will be as large as $80-$100 million on TV, Online and radio! Microsoft is hoping this huge advertising push for Bing.com will point some light towards them and gain some buzz.<br />

It is reported that it will be as large as $80-$100 million on TV, Online and radio! Microsoft is hoping this huge advertising push for Bing.com will point some light towards them and gain some buzz.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://binghub.com/">Check out the New Bing.com Search Engine Community Bing.comHub.com</a><br />
In spite of the progress made by search engines, 40 percent of queries go unanswered; half of queries are about searchers returning to previous tasks; and 46 percent of search sessions are longer than 20 minutes. These and many other learnings suggest that customers often don't find what they need from search today<br />
<br />
<br />
Microsoft will be offering a new type of search engine that is more accurate in its search results, according to them. Microsoft has data that points to the high percentage of search queries that must be refined and refocused to provide the "actual" desired information.<br />
<br />
Microsoft believes, through Bing.com they can provide a better and more useful search experience that helps you not just search but accomplish tasks. During the test, features will vary by country, but you'll see results organized in a way that saves you more time. An explorer pane on the left side of results pages will give you access to tools that help you with your tasks. Other features like single session history and hover preview help accomplish more in search sessions<br />
<br />
While little is officially known about Bing.com, the Wall Street Journal has reported Microsoft will unveil the new search engine next week. Some industry analysts said they already have been briefed about the search engine under nondisclosure agreements.<br />
<br />
Microsoft has never publicly acknowledged that it will rename its Live Search engine Bing.com, but the company has confirmed it's testing a search engine internally using the Bing.com.com URL. Bing.com is another name rumored to be the rebrand for the next iteration of Live Search.<br />
<br />
Some believe the new search engine won't have any new technology beyond what competitors Google and Yahoo already have, based on screenshots of Bing.com that were leaked to the Web in March, said Greg Sterling, analyst with Sterling Market Intelligence.<br />
<br />
"It doesn't look radically different from the current form of so-called universal search," he said. However, Microsoft apparently has been doing work on the back end to improve the search engine, which won't be evident to people until they use the new engine, Sterling said.<br />
<br />
Microsoft is expected to include some of the features of the Powerset search engine it acquired last June from the San Francisco-based startup. Powerset developed a technology that attempts to understand the full meanings of phrases people type while searching, returning results based on that understanding.<br />
<br />
Sterling, who has seen the new search engine but is not at liberty to disclose details of it, said that Microsoft believes it has identified a problem people have with finding what they're looking for with competitive search engines, and the company believes it can solve that problem.<br />
<br />
"They think they can do a better job of fulfilling those unmet needs," he said.<br />
<br />
Microsoft currently is a distant third behind Google and Yahoo in search-engine market share, and it has been investing significantly for a number of years to change that status.<br />
<br />
Because Google has such a strong brand and so many people use it, it will be difficult for Microsoft to improve its position, Sterling said.<br />
<br />
"People's behavior is pretty well established," he said. "You'd have to find some feature or set of features that's real useful or fun or interesting."<br />
<br />
Whether Bing.com's features are a huge jump forward over Google's new tools or Yahoo's upcoming overhaul is hard to know since no one outside of Microsoft has had a chance to try Bing.com. This week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is expected to demonstrate Bing.com during D: All Things D conference, which runs from May 26-28. It's not clear if Ballmer will announce a launch date for the new search engine from All Things D; however, once Bing.com is finally available to the public, I have no doubt many people will want to test drive the new search engine. But even if Bing.com can win over some early converts, the true test will be whether those users are still 'Bing.coming' instead of 'Googling' a month or two later.<br />
<br />
Service is not the only obstacle for a challenger to Google's dominance either. To keep users coming back for more, Microsoft must dislodge the idea from the public consciousness that the name Google is synonymous with Internet search. Will 100 million greenbacks be enough to convince people that 'to Google' is not actually a verb? Microsoft may think so, but what do you say?Bing Search Engine from Microsofttag:knolstuff.com,2009-05-26:1781665:BlogPost:887222009-05-26T18:26:44.000Zknolstuffhttps://knolstuff.com/profile/knolstuff

Bernard Lawrence Madoff ,born April 29, 1938, is an American businessman, and former chairman of the NASDAQ stock exchange. He founded the Wall Street firm Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC in 1960 and was its chairman until December 11, 2008, when he was charged with perpetrating what may be the largest investor fraud ever committed. He is free under house arrest until his indictment with a deadline of February 11, 2009.<br />
<br />
At 8.30 a.m. December 11, 2008, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Madoff and charged him with one count of securities fraud. On the day prior to his arrest, Madoff told senior executives at the firm, which included his sons, that the management and advisory segment of the business was, "basically, a giant Ponzi scheme." Madoff was then arrested based on a tip-off from his sons, Andrew and Mark. Five days after his arrest, Madoff's assets and those of the firm were frozen and a receiver was appointed to handle the case. According to federal charges, Madoff himself admitted that his firm has "liabilities of approximately US$50 billion." Banks from outside the U.S. have announced that they have potentially lost billions in U.S. dollars as a result. Some investors, journalists and economists have questioned Madoff's statement that he alone is responsible for the large-scale operation, and investigators are looking to determine if there were others involved in the scheme.<br />
<br />
Madoff's firm, which is in the process of liquidation, was one of the top market maker businesses on Wall Street (the sixth-largest in 2008), often functioning as a "third-market" provider that bypassed "specialist" firms and directly executed orders over the counter from retail brokers. The firm also encompassed an investment management and advisory division that is now the focus of the fraud investigation.<br />
<br />
Other notable clients included former Salomon Brothers economist Henry Kaufman, actor Kevin Bacon and his wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, as well as actor John Malkovich.Second Life Communitytag:knolstuff.com,2008-09-28:1781665:BlogPost:574852008-09-28T02:59:02.000Zknolstuffhttps://knolstuff.com/profile/knolstuff

Why this project?<br />
Never in history have so many people had so much information, so many tools at their disposal, so many ways of making good ideas come to life. Yet at the same time, so many people, of all walks of life, could use so much help, in both little ways and big.<br />
<br />
In the midst of this, new studies are reinforcing the simple wisdom that beyond a certain very basic level of material wealth, the only thing that increases individual happiness over time is helping other people.<br />
<br />
In other words, helping helps everybody, helper and helped alike.<br />
<br />
The question is: what would help? And help most?<br />
<br />
At Google, we don't believe we have the answers, but we do believe the answers are out there. Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university -- but maybe not.<br />
<br />
Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you've observed, some notion that you've been fiddling with, some small connection you've noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes.<br />
<br />
If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We're looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we're committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board.<br />
<br />
Good luck, and may those who help the most win.<br />

A few months ago we announced that we were testing a new product called Knol. Knols are authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects. Today, we're making Knol available to everyone.<br />
<br />
The web contains vast amounts of information, but not everything worth knowing is on the web. An enormous amount of information resides in people's heads: millions of people know useful things and billions more could benefit from that knowledge. Knol will encourage these people to contribute their knowledge online and make it accessible to everyone.<br />
<br />
The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.<br />
<br />
With Knol, we are introducing a new method for authors to work together that we call "moderated collaboration." With this feature, any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public. This allows authors to accept suggestions from everyone in the world while remaining in control of their content. After all, their name is associated with it!<br />
<br />
Knols include strong community tools which allow for many modes of interaction between readers and authors. People can submit comments, rate, or write a review of a knol. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads from our AdSense program. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with a revenue share from the proceeds of those ad placements.<br />

We are happy to announce an agreement with the New Yorker magazine which allows any author to add one cartoon per knol from the New Yorker's extensive cartoon repository. Cartoons are an effective (and fun) way to make your point, even on the most serious topics.<br />

The Medpedia Project is an extraordinary global effort to collect, organize and make understandable, the world’s best information about health, medicine and the body and make it freely available on the website Medpedia.com. Physicians, health organizations, medical schools, hospitals, health professionals, and dedicated individuals are coming together to build the most comprehensive medical resource in the world that will benefit millions of people every year.<br />
<br />
In association with Harvard Medical School, Stanford School of Medicine, Berkeley School of Public Health, University of Michigan Medical School and other leading global health organizations, the Medpedia community seeks to create the most comprehensive and collaborative medical resource in the world. Medpedia will serve as a catalog, database, and learning tool about health, medicine and the body for doctors, scientists, policymakers, students and citizens that will improve medical literacy worldwide.<br />
<br />
This global effort is already underway and everyone is encouraged to be a part of it. Many organizations have united to support Medpedia. See the Record of Merit.<br />

A few months ago we announced that we were testing a new product called Knol. Knols are authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects. Today, we're making Knol available to everyone.<br />
<br />
The web contains vast amounts of information, but not everything worth knowing is on the web. An enormous amount of information resides in people's heads: millions of people know useful things and billions more could benefit from that knowledge. Knol will encourage these people to contribute their knowledge online and make it accessible to everyone.<br />
<br />
The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.<br />
<br />
With Knol, we are introducing a new method for authors to work together that we call "moderated collaboration." With this feature, any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public. This allows authors to accept suggestions from everyone in the world while remaining in control of their content. After all, their name is associated with it!<br />
<br />
Knols include strong community tools which allow for many modes of interaction between readers and authors. People can submit comments, rate, or write a review of a knol. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads from our AdSense program. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with a revenue share from the proceeds of those ad placements.<br />
<br />
We are happy to announce an agreement with the New Yorker magazine which allows any author to add one cartoon per knol from the New Yorker's extensive cartoon repository. Cartoons are an effective (and fun) way to make your point, even on the most serious topics.<br />
