Review: Great Value Chocolate Flavored Dairy Whipped Topping

I really like chocolate on my strawberries. It’s one of the few times when I will eat Hershey’s chocolate which I otherwise find bland and unpleasant. So when I noticed Walmart has a new chocolate flavor option to their dairy whipped topping, I decided to give it a try.

I tried it over fresh strawberries eaten by hand and with no other sweeteners. Then I tried it on top of strawberry shortcake: blended strawberries with a dash of sweetener (Stevia in this case) layered over some angel ...

Self-Publishing: Book Earnings and Royalty Payment Timing

You finally published your latest literary masterpiece. The hard part of the process is done. Now it’s time to publish, get sales, and finally receive that royalty payment for your book.

But how and when you get paid for a sale varies greatly by the publishing platform and retailer selling your book. Here is a look at the timing between when someone buys your book (ebook, paperback, hard cover, and/or audiobook) and when you can expect to actually receive your royalty payment.

Review: The Sweet Spot Becomes Downtown Johnstown’s Favorite Diner Cafe

Downtown Johnstown Pennsylvania is changing. Not only in the loss of Rite-Aid, Ideal Market, and the Cambria County Assistance office — three anchor businesses for downtown — but in the coming major renovations to Central Park (never to be confused with Manhattan’s Central Park) and the massive closings of established businesses bringing in new businesses.

The entire time I’ve lived in Johnstown, there has been some sort of restaurant at 145 Franklin street – that’s the business next door to...

Packing at Capacity: Packing Cubes and Suitcase Volume

Packing cubes are nothing new. For over twenty years (probably more) I’ve used packing cubes purchased at http://www.ebags.com for all my travel and most of my home organization needs.

The convenience of packing cubes is obvious – but just exactly how many can you fit into your suitcase? Several months ago I took out my stash of packing cubes, filled them, and put them to the test in my TravelPro4 luggage set: a 29″ bag, standard 25″ bag, and 21″ carryon.

To start with, let’s establ...

Hörbücher auf Deutsch: Buchbeschreibungen und Einzelhandelslinks

Hörbücher sind meine Leidenschaft. Seit 2014 habe ich viel in Hörbuchproduktionen in den vier verfügbaren Sprachen investiert: Englisch, Spanisch, Französisch und Deutsch. Obwohl viele meiner Blog-Beiträge Links zu Audioausgaben enthalten, ist es manchmal nützlich, einen einzelnen Beitrag zu Hörbüchern zu lesen, der sich auf Einzelhandelslinks konzentriert. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach Ihrem nächsten tollen Hörstück sind, scrollen Sie gerne durch diesen Beitrag.

Livres audio en français : descriptions de livres et liens de vente au détail

Les livres audio sont ma passion. Depuis 2014, j’ai investi massivement dans la production de livres audio dans les quatre langues disponibles : anglais, espagnol, français et allemand.

Bien que bon nombre de mes articles de blog incluent des liens applicables aux éditions audio, il est parfois utile d’explorer un seul article dédié aux livres audio qui se concentre sur les liens de vente au détail. Si vous recherchez votre prochaine bonne écoute, n’hésitez pas à faire défiler cet article.

Cause for Murder: Hypatia Defends the Jews

In 2017 I wrote this paper as part of my work on “Hypatia of Alexandria.” After all this time I do not recall if I published it as a guest post on another blog or simply wrote it and forgot about it. Either way, I think this is a solid research paper deserving your attention. Enjoy

Boudica, Reina Británica de los Icenos

¿Por qué está gritando el cuervo de Morrigan? ¡Sólo los británicos con corazón que aspiran a la verdadera libertad lo saben!

En el año 43 de nuestra era, la conquista romana de Britania parece casi segura, hasta que un encuentro casual entre el rey Prasutagus de los icenos y una esclava fugitiva descendiente de la tribu de los eduos en Galia cambia el destino de las islas británicas para siempre.

¡Se levantará por la libertad con la...

Audiolibros en español: descripciones de libros y enlaces minoristas

Los audiolibros son mi pasión. Desde 2014 he invertido mucho en producciones de audiolibros en los cuatro idiomas disponibles: inglés, español, francés y alemán.

Aunque muchas de las publicaciones de mi blog incluyen enlaces aplicables a ediciones de audio, a veces resulta útil explorar una sola publicación dedicada a audiolibros que se centre en enlaces minoristas. Si está buscando su próxima gran escucha, no dude en desplazarse por esta publicación.
