Diapers and needles should always go in the trash—never in the recycling bins. When dirty, they are a biohazard, and when clean, they do not contain the right kind of plastic for recycling.
Lake County has found these items in its recycling bins before, and so have other communities. Please help us spread the word that diapers and needles should always be put in the trash. Remember, keep it pure!
For more information, please explore the recycling tips on C4Leadville.org, or ask a member of the Recycling Center team at the Lake County Landfill. Thank you for recycling with care!

"Do not be anxious about anything…"
~Philippians 4:6
On the wind, the Starlings fly; their soft bodies pushed side to side as they navigate the coming storm. Instinctively, they take refuge in the oak tree just outside my window. I watch a mother squirrel lead her baby across the lawn. Together they climb the magnolia tree to wait out the rough weather. The Juncos eating at the bird feeder take flight as it swings with each new gust. I sense a shift in the temperature as the clouds burst open.
I marvel at God's creation. He instilled intelligence in all of His creatures. Everything works perfectly together; all the minuscule pieces aligned by God's hand. Everything that I see in the world enables me to trust all that I can't see.
The storm slowly spent its fury. The clouds rolled away leaving a blue sky shining with promise. The animals left their safe harbors and once again, went about the business of the day. So too, do I. Out beyond the storms of my life I go with God. I trust Him with all of my tomorrows—with all that I cannot see.
Get Soul Reminders Delivered.

Welcome to Pendle Slot Racing
You have no items in your shopping basket.
Cartrix Vanwall F1 No.24 French GP 1956, Mike Hawthorn and Harry Schell.
Grand Prix Legends Collection - 1/32 scale slot car.
Numbered limited edition car in a metal tin, with presentation cloth, display base and certificate card sheet.
Vanwall, the iconic English F1 car brand, was created by restless industrialist Tony Vandervell in the early 1950s. His first cars, the Thinwall Special, were modified Ferrari - painted in English green, of course - and later cars of its own construction.
In 1955 with the new rules for F1, Vandervell undertakes a new project counting on the young engineers Colin Chapman and Frank Costin for the design of chassis and bodywork. Coming from Norton, Leo Kusmicki took care of designing and manufacturing the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine in line with direct injection. The result was a remarkable and aerodynamic racing car with a powerful 185 HP engine able to beat the best cars of the moment.
In 1956 came the first important victory: Stirling Moss won the Silvestone International Thophy. Moss together with Mike Hawthorn, Tony Brooks, Harry Schell and Stuars Lewis-Evans among others, began a promising stage for the brand with a machine at the technological forefront of its time, designed and manufactured entirely in Britain. In 1957 Moss marks a new milestone with Vanwall and wins the English Grand Prix at Sintree, being an English driver and machine for the first time in modern F1.
During 1958 Vanwall achieved success, winning many Grand Prix victories and deservedly winning the first Constructors World Championship. After almost a decade of hard work defending the English colors, the Vanwall team's final rushed due to Tony's health problems. Vandervell, leaving the competition at its best moment of glory.

Well, wow, we just cannot decide who stole the show at this pre-Oscars bash - so they all get the prize.
Sexy songstress Taylor Swift showed us her angelic side in a white lacy dress for The Weinstein Company's Academy Award party at the swanky Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
And with Harry Styles attending the event too - she was bound to have impressed her ex.
She was joined by actresses Jaime King and The Devil Wears Prada star Meryl Streep who both looked equally as stunning - and we just love how friendly they all appear to be.
Blonde bombshell Jaime couldn't hide her excitement at meeting legendary actress Meryl, and posted a picture of the trio on Instagram.
She wrote: "Life is f-ing amazing. I am so truly grateful to have met the greatest actress of our time and have dinner with her and the most exquisite @Taylorswift."
We can't even pretend to hide our jealousy.
Jaime showed off her tiny figure in an emerald green dress and white heels.
And 64-year-old Meryl rocked a tight black number and white cardi - and the woman never fails to stun us.
The event, hosted by hosted by Chopard and DeLeon Tequila, was just one of many pre-Oscar bashes this weekend ahead of the main event on Sunday night.
Meryl is up for Best Actress in her film August: Osage County, and she will have to beat Amy Adams, Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock - hardly an easy competition.
Watch all the action live with us here.

Face Procedures Paramus Plastic Surgery
Dr. Lat is able to enhance or refine areas of the face and neck for both women and men using surgical procedures and chemical treatments. Adjustments can also be made for congenital deformities (birth defects) and abnormalities resulting from accidents or diseases.
- Facelift
- Browlift
- Eyelid Surgery
- Nose Surgery
- Lip Enhancement
Facelift Paramus
Face Lift & Neck Lift
Want to turn back the clock? A facelift may be the answer! Over time, the long-term effects of gravity, exposure to sun, dry air, and general stress takes its toll on an individual's face and neckline. Jowls can develop under the jawline with folds and fat deposits. Sometimes creases begin to form between the nose and the mouth.
A facelift can considerably reduce these signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and redraping the skin around the neck and face. Facelifts can be done alone, or are frequently performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. If your problem areas are limited to the neck, a more conservative procedure, known as a "necklift" will be recommended. In some cases, a facelift can reduce the outward signs of aging by ten or fifteen years!
For additional information on facelifts visit: www.plasticsurgery.org
Forehead Lift Paramus
A forehead lift or "browlift" is used to correct a drooping browline (eyebrow area) reducing the horizontal lines and furrows (worry lines) that often make a person appear angry, sad or tired. The procedure creates a refreshed, youthful appearance to the forehead area above the eyes.
When performing a forehead lift procedure, muscles and tissue areas that droop or cause creases are removed or corrected to smooth the skin on the forehead to reduce frown lines and raise the eyebrows. There are two surgical methods, and during your initial consultation the procedure that works best for you will be recommended. The first is the most conventional method where a surgical incision is hidden just above the hairline. Browlifts are also performed using an endoscope which enables the procedure to be performed with a minimal number of incisions. While the traditional method can sometimes attain more lift, both methods create smoother, flatter skin on the forehead.
For additional information on facelifts visit: www.plasticsurgery.org
Eyelid Surgery Paramus
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure can correct drooping upper lids that tend to sag with time and the puffy bags below the eyes. The procedure usually takes about 1 hour and can be performed in the office using local anesthesia. Stitches can be removed after three or four days. Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure, or in conjunction with other facial surgery such as a facelift or a browlift.
For additional information on facelifts visit: www.plasticsurgery.org
Rhinoplasty Paramus
Surgery to reshape the nose, (rhinoplasty) is among the most common plastic surgery procedures. This procedure can reduce or increase the size of the nose, remove an unwanted hump, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the width of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. The procedure is also used to correct problems resulting from injury and can help relieve certain breathing difficulties.
For additional information on facelifts visit: www.plasticsurgery.org
Lip Enhancement Paramus
Full and vivacious lips have always been recognized as aesthetically important features. Some of us however, are born with thin, ill-defined lips. The appearance of our lips is now within our control. During this procedure, a piece of tissue is borrowed from somewhere in your body and grafted into one or both lips.

In my last blog post I explained why many Diversity and Inclusion initiatives fail: because they focus on diversity at a corporate level in terms of demographics, and don't address inclusion at an individual level, which is key to realizing the benefits of diverse teams. Whether for a large organization or a start up, creating a culture of inclusion helps individuals feel psychologically safe, which is linked to greater innovation, productivity and retention. So how do you create a culture of inclusion?
Traditional diversity training goes wrong when it becomes an issue of compliance rather than culture . When it's a box to be ticked – often in the form of an e-learning module – and when it focuses on avoiding overt discrimination and costly lawsuits. Such training emphasizes rather than celebrates difference and makes the 'majority' feel guilty. It leads to people treading on eggshells or engaging in behavior that they see as 'politically correct', but isn't necessarily authentic or inclusive.
Encouraging inclusion isn't about avoiding lawsuits. It's about creating an environment where different individuals feel psychologically safe enough to express their true selves, without faking it to fit in. That's how you make the mix work. And it starts with self-awareness.
Most people perceive themselves to be fair – very, very few people intentionally exclude or discriminate against others. But our innate biases mean that we all unconsciously and unintentionally exclude people who are dissimilar to us.
The human brain has evolved to spot differences incredibly quickly: in prehistoric times, anything different from the self was a threat. We are primed to prefer those who are similar to us. And we're sensitive to all kinds of difference: not just obvious visible differences like gender, race, age or religion, but subtler differences like dress sense, manners, education, accent and family status, and even invisible differences – energy, outlook, humor and values. We quickly and subconsciously spot all the ways in which someone is not 'like me', and register it as a threat.
Threats provoke our innate fight or flight response; when faced with difference, we reduce our discomfort by avoiding it. Instead, we gravitate towards those who are like us – by promoting or giving more opportunities to people who remind us of ourselves, making informal decisions on the golf course or wherever we socialize, recruiting people who went to the same college, organizing social events around cultural norms of exercise or alcohol, or talking about things which don't involve the whole group.
And so, without malice or intent, those outside of our 'like me' circle are excluded. Like internet search results tailored to our preferences and previous experience, we inadvertently create a 'filter bubble' which limits information and viewpoints outside of our own. So the potential benefits of a diverse workplace are lost and those who are excluded suffer too. Neuroscientists have shown that social exclusion has the same neurological impact as physical pain . When we feel pain, we direct all our mental resources to reducing it, leaving little capacity for work.
Building an inclusive workplace starts with recognizing our own mental biases and blind spots. Once we've identified the ways in which we gravitate towards people who are similar to us and exclude those who are not, we can break that bias, and start to build bridges so that everyone is included. My next post explores exactly what building those bridges looks like.

About Linda
I'm a 50+ ranch woman that started running about 6 years ago to keep the fat at bay. I've run two half marathons and will probably try it again. I'm slow but that doesn't matter because I just about always run with the dog and she doesn't care as long as I get out there. I love this blog world full of runners of all different stripes. I've been entering the links in the R.B.F. for a year or so and love checking each one out as they come in. It does stress my bloglines account though because some of them I just have to keep reading.

Getting hit by a Matt Harvey fastball clocked at 96 mph in the first inning of Tuesday night's All-Star Game didn't stop Robinson Cano from traveling home to the Dominican Republic.
"He is in the Dominican and [is] day-to-day,'' general manager Brian Cashman said of his best player, who left the AL's 3-0 win with a bruised right quadriceps.
Cashman chatted with Cano after X-rays Tuesday night were negative.
"After the X-ray the Mets team doctor called and put Robbie on,'' Cashman said.
Cashman wasn't ready to rule Derek Jeter in or out for tomorrow night's game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
"There is nothing to report there,'' the GM said of the shortstop, who mised the past three games after straining his right quadriceps last Thursday in his first game back from the disabled list. "He has been getting treatment every day. There is nothing more to say.''

Support for Social Enterprises
The University of Bath is working with a number of expert partners to support the growth of social enterprise activity in the Bath area.
The Social Enterprise Innovation Programme (SEIP) offers start-up and existing social enterprises free bootcamp-style mentoring. Those with the most potential are then offered incubation support – ongoing mentoring, particularly with a view to becoming investment-ready.
Participants have included social projects such Food Drop, which connects cafes and food retailers with local charities who can make use of food waste; and Urban Car Spa, a car wash which supports ex-army veterans back into employment within a familiar team environment.
Food Drop's co-founders Miranda Kharmis and Everest Ekong (left) took part in the programme as part of their efforts to expand their venture beyond Bath:
"The support we received from the start-up bootcamp was unparalleled. It helped us reconsider our ideas and strategic planning from the bottom-up. We were able to reprioritise our plans, be creative and share our newly formed ideas with experts."
The programme is managed by the University of Bath in partnership with the University of Bath Innovation Centre, The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), Social Enterprise Works, Voscur and CVS South Gloucestershire.

This morning I padded downstairs and found my daughter Lily on the couch playing a game on her iPhone. She is 13 so this is pretty standard, maybe too standard. There is a balance at this age between encouraging escape and game playing, for which devices can be ideal, and too much screen time. Nova and I tell ourselves that we have found a decent balance. Maybe it's even true.
Anyway, I made my way across the kitchen to make coffee. I am a firm believer on putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others with theirs, metaphorically, so usually I don't interact much before the first latte has made its way into my system. Even if it's decaf, part of it is the ritual. As I frothed the milk, I heard her playing "Magic Piano", which is a game targeted at slightly younger kids that lets them tap the screen to "play" simple-sounding versions of popular songs. This morning it was songs from the La-La Land soundtrack. I started to browse the paper online.
Then, unexpectedly, she asked me if I wanted to sit with her and listen to her play.
Was it a breathtaking concert experience? No. But it actually was magic. I have to give Smule, who made the game, credit for naming it perfectly. I just sat and watched her. She played the first song ("Another Day of Sun", which should have won the Oscar for best song by the way but somehow wasn't even nominated). Then she pretended to take a bow before playing another ("City of Stars", which shouldn't have been nominated. It took Justin Hurwitz like 5 minutes to write that song.)
And then the moment was gone.
I share this anecdote as a Sandwich Generation parent mostly because it was so fleeting. It was fleeting because I am constantly in motion, ever moving, ever planning, and I was happily lost for those 3 short wonderful minutes. Because my daughter is 13 and she probably won't be calling me 'Daddy' and asking me to come across the room to watch her play a game much longer. Because I remember being 13 and my father playing ping-pong with me in our garage on 95 degree summer days, afternoon and afternoon. I don't think I gave him enough credit for that.
I write a lot about trials and tribulations, about technology as a survival aid, about being balanced on a knife's edge between two extremes. Much of that is true. The fleeting glimpses are true too.

Billy Joe Bob, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. His fame grew and soon people from all over the country were coming to him for paintings.
One day, a beautiful young woman pulled up to his house in a stretch limo. She asked Billy Joe Bob if he would paint her in the nude. This was the first time anyone had made this request. The beautiful lady said money was no object; she was willing to pay $50,000.
Not wanting to get into trouble with his wife, Billy Joe Bob asked the lady to wait while he went in the house and conferred with his wife.
In a few minutes he returned and told the lady he was willing to do it. However, he would have to leave his socks on so he would have some place to wipe his brushes.

I like this sort of bangles, serves more than just regular bangles. I had received one of these as a gift and didn't realize there were other bangle bracelets available with scriptures.

I've been trying to make a thicker hot chocolate and I'm not sure what to add without taking away from the flavor of the chocolate. Usually what I do is boil the milk, and then I add chocolate baking powder and shaved chocolate.
4if you're trying to recreate a thick hot chocolate you've had elsewhere, perhaps a higher-fat milk (or add cream to it) would help? – Kate Gregory Dec 2 '11 at 21:35
You can also try flavored coffee creamers, if you have those around but not plain cream. – Chad Dec 5 '11 at 1:58
3What is "chocolate baking powder"? – Mien Nov 12 '13 at 21:44
Spanish hot chocolate and Italian cioccolata fiorentina both use cornstarch as a thickening agent. Both are used more for dipping or sipping (churros in the former case), however you could easily just use less cornstarch to make it more 'drinkable'.
Try a teaspoon of cornstarch, mixed with a little cold water, added to the milk when you boil it.
As Kate Gregory suggests, you could also use full-fat milk, or loads of shaved chocolate.
The hot chocolate you find at an Italian cafe is thick, even without being cioccolata fiorentina.
:-)– kiamlaluno Dec 3 '11 at 0:27
1Good to know. My knowledge of Italian cafes is sadly lacking unfortunately; I've had cioccolata fiorentina in a Carluccio's. Sponsorship for a fact-finding mission to Italy greatly appreciated. :) – ElendilTheTall Dec 3 '11 at 9:37
I would agree with Kate to add higher-fat milk or cream to it and I would avoid putting in thickening agent if possible.
One thing I have tried at a cafe before that instead of boiling the milk, they used the espresso machine steamer to mix milk and drinking chocolate powder together. The hot chocolate turned out really nice and thick.
The other way of making thick chocolate I discovered was to melt cooking chocolate in a bowl on top of a pot of boiling hot water (just like hot you making chocolate cake, but no butter). While you are melting the chocolate, you may add in some sugar and cream or milk. Therefore, you will get a very thick chocolate drink and you are always in control of the thickness.
Mexican style hot chocolate, Atole, is thickened with masa harina - a fine ground flour or meal made from corn that has been nixtamalized or processed with a strong alkaline, either slaked lime or lye, to improve its nutrition.
The corn taste is inoffensive in the Atoles I've had, mild and sweet and complimenting the chocolate taste, a bonus rather than a problem. This drink is traditionally flavored with cinnamon or other spices (this is specifically called champurrado), but it is not required to to be tasty. The result is a thick, hearty, and very chocolaty drink - just what you seem to be looking for.
Instant masa is nixtamalized, cooked with CaOH, then mashed into a paste with a mill before being dried to powder. Great thickener! – Wayfaring Stranger Sep 30 '16 at 23:11
@WayfaringStranger - Thanks for mentioning it! That it is nixtamalized is helpful information for anyone not familiar with the product, I should have remembered to mention how it's different from regular cornflour/cornmeal :) – Megha Oct 1 '16 at 4:58
If you're looking for a flavorless thickener which you cannot even tell is there, Guar Gum is your man. You can get it in your cooking store or specialty grocery for an inflated price, or go to an arab or indian grocer (trust me, there's one around you) and get it for cheap. This is also good to have around because it is especially good at thickening acidic liquids, like some chocolates.
Or xanthan gum. – derobert Dec 6 '11 at 23:16
1Xanthan imparts a slimy feel if you use much of it. Powdered Tapioca might work, as might a whisked in egg yolk. That latter probably has a name that isn't "hot chocolate". – Wayfaring Stranger Jun 27 '15 at 21:23
half teaspoon of Physlium Husk.... unflavored. Adds a little fiber too. – mbowles Jan 31 '16 at 23:16
Cornstarch sifted if preferred for lumps and literally like 1/8th or maybe even less per every 8 ounces of fluid. "Bloom" your starch like you would yeast for breads in a small side cup with 1/4th a cup of warm milk stirred to remove any lumps and introduce it to your heated mixture before adding chocolate.
You can also use an egg yolk in the same manner ratios change to one yolk for every 12 ounces of liquid. Or (bear with me you non- old world cooks) pigs blood as a coagulation method adds a nice amount of richness and actually enhances the chocolate. You can get it by the pint from a good butcher. 2 oz blood for every 14 oz of chocolate. Note that last measurement is not liquid!
Note: adding too much of any of these will turn your lusciously creamy drink into pudding by a fraction so... Experiment. (:

See if Ciobar is available in your country. This is what you find in Italian grocery stores, cafés and homes. If you can't find it at the local shop I'm sure you can buy it online.
1Can you provide more info on what Ciobar is? – rfusca Dec 6 '11 at 14:54
DONT USE THICKENERS. Yikes. If you make it on pure chocolate it will be thicker. Just choclate and milk. Full fat of course. If you want it even thicker cream and milk mix.
1Welcome to the site! If you are wondering why your answer was downvoted (not by me), I recommend taking a look at this help page. Just a hunch - perhaps an edit would be in order. – Stephie♦ May 14 '15 at 14:27
1@Stephie I'm not sure I picked up any rudeness. On the other hand, after stating so adamantly that thickeners should not be used, the author might have been expected to expand on that somewhat. – Chris Steinbach May 23 '15 at 9:35

The Sports Techie Take on replacement refs during Monday Night Football on ESPN is that it is took away from the NFL Sports Technology story of another Hall of Fame touchdown pass thrown by Denver Broncos quarterback Payton Manning.

This was a new NFL rule in action and it worked by getting the call right, TD Broncos.

Whipped egg whites add air to the cake, which puffs high as it bakes, then falls as it cools. Pureed dates add a pleasing texture and exotic sweetness. The candied orange rind that garnishes this dessert would also work with other recipes--and it's a delicious sweet shade on its own.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°.
To prepare cake, place juice and dates in a blender; process until smooth. Combine juice mixture, cocoa, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and place in a large bowl. (Mixture will be thick.)
Beat vinegar and egg whites with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Add 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
Add egg yolks to cocoa mixture; stir until smooth. Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
Pour batter into a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until firm in center. (Cake will rise over rim of pan and collapse as it cools.)
To prepare candied orange rind, combine 3/4 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Add rind to pan. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a fork, remove rind from pan; dredge in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Let rind stand 30 minutes or until dry. Garnish center of cake with candied rind.

Since Then Have Grown to One of Largest Manufacturers of Railroad Signal Lanterns in the World�This Product But One of Many Sheet Metal Specialties.Peter Gray & Sons, Inc., on Third street, near Kendall square, is one of the largest manufacturers of railroad signal supplies in the world and besides this makes dozens of other specialties. The late Peter Gray, founder of this house, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1839. At the age of fourteen he began an apprenticeship of seven years as a sheet metal worker and Upon completion followed his trade in Scotland and England for an additional six years, after which he came to New Brunswick. After a short service there, he was engaged by George H. Mason of Boston, in 1866, as manager of his sheet metal works. Mr. Gray served in this capacity until 1878, when he started in business for himself at 12 Marshall street, Boston, under the firm name of Peter Gray. There he began the manufacture of lanterns and general sheet metal supplies, with a force of six men. From the first, success attended his business venture In 1900 two sons, George M Gray and Mason H. Gray who have been working with their father for several years, were made member of the firm, which took its present name of Peter Gray & Sons. Three years later the firm moved to South Union street, Boston. Since that time the business has prospered by leaps and bounds as the present plant well illustrates. The products of this Company are many and varied. They are best known as manufacturers to railroad lanterns. Train market lanterns for the rear of passenger trains, engine classification lantern; for locomotive use, locomotive cal lamps, elevated train markers drawbridge and pier lanterns in among their standard designs They also produce a variety of lanterns for other purposes. They have for many years manufacturer, the huge storm warning lantern required by the United State Weather Bureau. It is in the manufacture of signal lanterns, however, that the firm is best known in railroad circle throughout the country. They have long been leaders in the development of railroad signaling and if the electrification of signal lanterns. The tracks of our New England railroads are almost entirely equipped with Peter Gray &Sons lanterns. They were the originators of the modern daylight lantern, by which light signals may be used in bright sunlight as Well as by night. Their latest product in this line is a daylight lantern equipped with an electro-magnetic shutter which automatically close when the signal is not set, thus preventing the rays of the sun from entering the reflector and reflecting false, or as they are called by railroad men, phantom signals.
Although popularly known as lantern makers, this is but one department of the Company's business. They produce a large variety of sheet metal ware and specialties. Oil cans, oilers, waste cans, sprinkling cans, water pails, fusee cases, torches, water coolers and many other supplies for railroad use are standard items with them. In addition to railroad equipment they are large producers of metal stamping. One entire floor of their plant is devoted to presses and electric welding machines. They specialize in quantity production of metal units or complete products. Among their recent products in this department are such articles as battery boxes, fabric boxes, hot water bottles, desk calendar stands, ear phones, moving picture projectors, clock cases, meter case covers, addressing machine parts, graphophone parts, electric heater parts, automobile parts and accessories, and parts for leather working, textile and shoe machinery. In their sheet metal department they make to order in any quantity such items as safe boxes, tool boxes, ash barrels, wool boxes, and containers for all purposes. Animal cages, milk inspectors' outfits, incubators, and a variety of apparatus for bacteriological laboratory use are among their products, many items of which they have standardized and carry in stock. Candy case coolers, candy pans and trays and other metal supplies for confectioners are also lines which they feature. They have lately specialized an the design and manufacture of stamped metal parts to replace castings, a field in which they have already made great progress.

Want to know why your business will fail?
I've got some news for you and this may or may not come as a surprise, but your business will fail not because you're not good at what you do. More than likely the reason why your business will fail is because you're not good at sales and marketing.
I'm not saying your business is going to fail, rather if your business doesn't survive, chances are those are the reasons. Seldom do I see a business fail because they are poor craftsman or make a bad pizza or are not skilled at their craft, the majority of times a business fails today is because they don't know how to properly implement or they don't have a sales and marketing plan.
The Good Old Days
We no longer live in a world where you can just hang a sign out front and everyone in town will start shopping with you. Those days are over. Back in the old west if you opened a saloon or a blacksmith shop or a general store, you had everyone's business—even as late as just a few years ago, simply providing a product or service was enough. Even back in the 70's and 80's you could be The Shopkeeper in town and make a great living. That ship has sailed.
The Hard Reality
Today it takes more than a great recipe. It takes knowledge, expertise, effort and action. Do you know how to create a sales and marketing plan for your business? (And downloading a template from Google doesn't count)
Do you know how to find out how to satisfy your customers? To find out what they want, what they need and what they are willing to pay for it?
You can be the greatest pizza maker, the most elegant seamstress, the best electrician and the most fabulous photographer, but if you don't know how to market your business, actively attract customers to your front door or website and (most importantly) ask for the money—you're going to close up shop. Period.
What are you doing to bring people in who you can sell to. Because in the end it doesn't matter how good the product or service is if there is nobody there to enjoy it. It doesn't matter how good you do what you do, it matters whether you have people to do it for. In reality there are hundreds, if not thousands of reasons why your business will fail, but by-and-large it will come down to your abilty to sell and market your product.
Too many people spend all their time worrying about building a better mousetrap and never thinking about how to sell it once it's made.
Don't Just Build It
There's no more, "If you build it they will come". You have to invite them. If you invite them correctly and offer them a great product or service in the manner in which they want to buy it—then they will come. I know that's not as nice a catchphrase, but it's the truth.
Your business will fail if you don't learn that one simply axiom. Build it, invite them, have a great product or service positioned like they want and they will come.
Maybe I'll write a movie about that.

When I told my father I was being bullied by a boy at school, he recommended what he considered the only sensible course of action: learn karate and then hit him. Forty years later, my own son is 10 and has no bullies to hit, fortunately, but what are the modern rules on teaching our children, particularly our sons, about violence?
The dilemma is that as a modern dad I want a boy who is gentle and bakes his own focaccia but I'm not sure, if I'm entirely honest, that I want a son growing up with no concept of his own aggression or, more important, other people's.
In the 1970s, there was a clear set of man-rules. My dad is a small, bookish, Jewish man with an interest in international politics – but all those years ago he was also a keen martial artist, with extensive sideburns, open-necked shirts and an unwillingness to back away from a confrontation. (Imagine a genetic experiment in which Woody Allen and Bruce Lee were combined.)
Dad never seriously considered involving my teachers in my bullying problems. He taught me patiently and lovingly to pound my tormenter with a right-hand punch to the solar plexus – probably the first anatomical term I learned.
We practised in our narrow hallway – in my mind these lessons form a Rocky-style montage sequence in which press-ups, sit-ups and endless punches were combined with philosophy ("absorb the pain") and talk of a mysterious inner force called the Hara. I recall them as both a lovely warm memory of close moments with my father and as a ludicrously dated solution to my anxiety.
Finally, the day arrived. My tormentor came towards me; I adopted a comically deep, Elvis-esque stance and punched him once, quite formally, in the stomach. No idea if I managed the solar plexus or if my Hara was in play at any point. As we were both eight, my blow was sufficient but not damaging. News of the exotic kung fu punch reached the adult world. My father still remembers the consequences: "I was at a party and this boy's dad knew who I was and complained that you had hit his son. He said that if it happened again he'd come round to see me. I told him that if he did he'd get the same treatment."
Now in his late 70s, my father laughs at his youthful machismo but these were memorable hints about what I was expected to be as a man. Speaking to my friends about the lessons they learned about violence from their fathers, it's clear that this is a critical part of growing up; everyone had a story and everyone had created their own contemporary man-rules for their sons.
Benjamin Mee, father of two, still remembers one crucial conversation during his colourful early years: "Dad always told me off for fighting, but when I was 20, I noticed he had scars between his knuckles like me. Mine were from punching people in the face and being cut by their teeth. I asked him how he got them. 'From punching people in the face,' he replied, deadpan."
Mee felt vindicated and impressed until his dad revealed that he gave up such behaviour in disgust at the age of nine. Now he encourages his own son to learn some fighting skills, but would never want him to use them in earnest.
Another friend, who prefers to remain anonymous, remembers coming home to find his father mopping up blood and broken glass from their front room after "a lively discussion" with a business associate. He will never forget his dad looking up and demanding, "Help me clear up this mess before your mum gets home." Memories like these have given him a fierce dislike of violence, which he has passed to his own sons.
Derek Harbinson, also a father of two, is pleased to see his son enjoying his karate lessons but avoids any rough play himself. "I never saw my father fight – I only heard him raise his voice once. I'm a rubbish dad in terms of teaching how to be strong and macho. Mostly because I have no idea. I much prefer a taught him karate for self with my son over a play fight with him, and I know before long he won't want cuddles with Daddy so I'm making the most of that."
I still dabble in martial arts – displaying all the lightning grace and agility of a sofabed. And my son attends classes too – we play fight and I'll admit to a certain pride in his growing confidence, but I worry that some of the 70s machismo is finding its way through to the next generation.
However, there is some research that suggests that a playful approach to fighting can be helpful. Canadian psychologist Dr Joe Flanders has carried out research that suggests rough and tumble play between father and son can be useful in teaching the child self-control. He has found that play-fighting with a father who manages how rough the play becomes, teaches a child boundaries for their physicality.
But what does Flanders make of my dad's approach to bullying? "If your father taught you how to defend yourself that would be because he believed sincerely that he was equipping you with the skills to deal with these encounters. We may be less tolerant of those behaviours than we were in the 70s and 80s, but who knows? It may not be a bad thing to know how to defend yourself. What is important is that you learn when and when not to use that. If you squash aggression, children never learn how to work with those feelings."
Certainly, my father's coaching did not produce a violence-prone adult. I loathe the messy, bullying drunken battles that so often ruin our high streets after dark. I have no taste for the chaos that men – and it's still mainly men – bring to British life. My solemn punching masterclass from my dad may not have been the best solution to bullying, but it remains a valued memory.
And to the conflicted dads out there, do fight with your sons ... for me there are few greater pleasures than being doubled up by a well-timed right from your own 10-year-old boy.

There's more than the lighthouse?
A stop at the state park should include Split Rock lighthouse hiking for some great views of the Lake Superior shoreline and north shore coast.
Where is it?
Hiking here is part of the state park that houses the light house and the campground. The state park is located about 20 miles (32km) northeast of Two Harbors along highway 61. Traveling north, it is located on the right hand side of the highway.
SplitRock Lighthouse Hiking
There is about 12 miles of trails throughout the network, more if you count the superior hiking trail that passes through the area. The best trail takes you over a region called Day Hill and past a point called Corundum.
The trailhead is located near the entrance of the park and runs about 3 miles round trip and is fairly easy, although the hike up to the top of Corundum can be more challenging as it's not paved or packed like the rest of the trail.
The trail takes you along the shore and through the wilderness. If you want some great shots of the lake, cliffs and the lighthouse bring your camera.
The trail turns around at the SplitRock river.
Interesting info
Corundum point, a prominent feature along the trail is the site of an old mine. Miners dynamited the rock here mistaking it for corundum, a hard rock used to make sandpaper. If you venture to the top you'll be graced with a great panoramic of the lake.
You should know
If traveling in the summer, some of the wilderness areas are a little thick and bugs can get heavy. Bring bug spray.

Lots of travel and loads of shopping (alas.... not in Europe). One of those phases when time zooms right in front of you like 1000BHP Bugatti and you don't even realise what just happened.
Fuzzy headed from the life changing chaos last few weeks (months?), grappling to find the right moment and right words I somehow slither back on my desk, slump onto the blog and here I am (still fuzzy headed and now babbling).
For now ending with the quote I read outside a museum in Rome (fodder for thought) -
"If you want your body to be strong, you must accustom your body to be the servant of your mind, and train it with toil and sweat"

Chris Yeung sharing insights on Policy Address
Veteran journalist Chris Yeung told HKAPI members in a public affairs workshop on October 25, 2017 that Hong Kong politics is getting more complicated, as the government and many stakeholders have to take the China factor into consideration when making key decisions. He said Hong Kong people are divided on many issues and the city's Chief Executive has to negotiate with every political party on a case by case basis. "It's difficult to get support from lawmakers for implementing even an insignificant minor measure," he said.
The ever-changing volatile public mood has become an increasingly important factor in the government decision-making process, Yeung added.
The China factor, together with many other considerations, also imposes constraints on Chief Executive Carrie Lam, according to Yeung.
In his view, Carrie Lam would place a lot of emphasis on healthcare issues, as she put more effort into poverty alleviation. Yet Carrie Lam just cares about basic healthcare service rather than the sector's business aspects, he remarked. Yeung said the city's leader wants to keep her involvement in politics to a minimum.
She doesn't even want to restructure the relevant policy bureaux, Yeung said.
Yeung is co-founder and chief writer of Citizen News, founder of Voice of Hong Kong, and a part-time lecturer. He has worked with Hong Kong Economic Journal and was editor-at-large and political editor of SCMP.

We discussed the recent Ames City Council meeting concerning the Resolution Reaffirming the Public Safety Function of Local Law Enforcement. Matthew Goodman, former Ames City Council Member and co-chair of Ames Progressive Alliance was on hand to explain the collaborative work behind the crafting of this resolution. City Council members Gloria Betcher and Tim Gartin spoke with Ames Chief of Police Chuck Cychosz about how the proposed resolution would affect the interactions of the Ames Police with immigrant communities. Cheryl Binzen spoke for the resolution on behalf of Inclusive Ames, Rick Exner representing the AMOS Immigration Group (AMOS is a coalition of social justice groups known as A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy) testified to the importance of an official document in support of the practice of the Ames Police to limit their activities to local law enforcement rather than taking on functions of federal immigration agents. Liz Mendez spoke from the experience of being a Latina immigrant. We then heard from Zoami Callas-Sosa Rios about the pro-active things being done at the Webster City ACE (All Cultures Equal) Center.
Ruth Horine Book told us how Story County Conservation Center is keeping the legacy of her father "Bill" Horine alive by sponsoring a prize at its annual nature photography exhibit and initiating the Horine Writing Contest for Youth. Host Paul Wierson shared some memories of his own about this beloved nature writer and nature photographer. Ruth and Paul added a tribute to the friendship between Bill and Pat Schlarbaum which brought them together actively until Bill was well into his 90s. His Facebook Page Outdoor Talk is still being maintained.

District plans to move to 4-day school week
A change in how Iowa counts the amount of time students spend in school could help schools like East Sac County move to a four-day school week.
The district is considering the move, which would mean going to classes from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on four days instead of 8:20 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on five days per week, which is the current schedule.
Leaders at East Sac County Schools said a four-day school week will provide a separate day for things like professional development and parent teacher conferences.
"Then we can have four solid days of absolutely no interrupted education," said Tammy Vine, a Spanish teacher at East Sac Schools.
"We need to have professional and development for teachers so it's exclusive to them and then we just need to be able to teach," said Teresa Tigges, a study skills teacher at East Sac Schools.
On July 1, Iowa law is changing to allow school districts to base their schedules on hours versus the current requirement of 180 teaching days. The new law will consider a day worth 5.5 hours and require 1,080 instructional hours per year.
"What we want to do is have the same number of hours but have it at a higher quality because it's really guaranteed so to speak we're not going to duck around with this, this is teaching time and it's sacred," said Kevin Fiene, East Sac County Schools superintendent.
During a public forum on Monday, some parents expressed concern about finding day care and students staying alert for a longer school day.
Teachers who support the move said the four day schedule will only add a few more minutes to each high school period and they may change elementary schools schedules to have academic classes at the beginning of the day and art and physical education classes near the end.
"I'd have more time to make sure that my project is done correctly and we would have more time in school so it's more time to ask the teachers for help," said Kayla Deal, a junior at East Sac Schools.
School officials said they have had Skype conversations with Waco schools, which have already moved to a four-day school week. The district is located in southeastern Iowa.

You know that moment when you tell someone about your problems, or ask for advice and they tell you something you already know, but aren't doing? That's pretty much how I felt as I shared some of my difficulties in writing Marianna with a friend as we hiked around lake Shasta.
I may have mentioned that I've been working on this particular project since I was 12–over a decade ago. I may have given myself some slack because I had no clue how to write and virtually no support in the endeavor. I was told to finish school first. (Not knocking the suggestion, just saying =) So in addition to the frequent periods of writers block there was a time when I just quit. I didn't write anything, for about a year. I think with all the accumulated stops I've probably not written for at least 3 out of the 12 years.
Anyway, I'm an adult now and there's no excuse. So you're probably wondering what did my friend tell me? Well basically he said "Don't try to make it to perfect. Just write like crazy." I tend to be a perfectionist and just tweak everything endlessly and then the project must be ripped out of my hands either by circumstances or someone saying "You know that's good enough!" lol
So I knew I needed to move on and just write ideas that came to mind; after all, I can easily throw them out if they don't work. The digital age means that I waste less and less paper during the writing process. Though if it gets you to the finish, is it ever a waste? So this week, and in the weeks to follow, I'm determined to go crazy with it. I will write like a maniac! Because I want this done! I have gained a lot of experience over the years, and though I have more experience to gain I can still use what I know to make something epic!!! At least I hope it will be epic. And even if it isn't, it will be the starting point for something bigger. Life usually works that way.

so...that time is almost upon us again. the temperatures will drop, white stuff will fall and we will gleefully pick out what accessories we want for xmas. i'm not looking forward to putting Selene away, the freedom and joy she has brought into my life has been remarkable.
anyway, i've paid my price for not storing a motorcycle properly by turning my Kawasaki into a restoration project. I don't intend to let that happen to Selene, so my web searches have brought me to this:
that really covers all the bases for me, seeing that i'm a list kinda guy. i'm hoping to get at least another month worth of riding before i have to put her away and that should give me enough time to pick up the things needed. i already have a jack that needs a slight modification so that it can be used for storage. once she is stored, i can look forward to doing some of the maintenance that needs to be done as well. that mean there will be parts of Selene all over the apartment...hehe.
speaking of which...joey wouldn't let me bring Selene into the apartment, even though i had an entire plan on how to do it. something about getting evicted...psssh.
edit: note to self, don't type when half asleep. it don't make no sense...

Create a Second Blog
Daily Blog Tips was not my first blog. It was not even my second blog for the matter of fact, and I am pretty sure that if I had not had those prior experiences the blog would not have been half as successful.
Most people start blogging for curiosity or as a hobby. The result is that they do not plan carefully the overall strategy, the domain name, the promotion techniques to be used and so forth.
Even if you start right from the beginning with the purpose of creating a popular blog to generate money you will inevitably commit many mistakes. It takes time and effort to know how things work, and it is almost impossible to get them right on the first try.
If you already have a blog but you are not completely satisfied with its growth perhaps you should consider starting a second one. Don't get me wrong here, a requisite for any successful blog is persistence. But persistence will be there only if you truly believe the path you are walking. That is, you must be sure that you made the right choices for the blog.
There are many factors that you should take into consideration in order to start a second blog; including the niche, the domain name, the design, the promotion techniques to be used, the network of people that will help you and the like.
Do you think you could combine all those factors and create a very popular blog? Go for it!

Winning Ideas For Life
Absolutely true. I had been blogging since 10 months and now I have good information and knowledge (though learning never stops) to start a second blog. I will be starting my second blog (actually this is 10 page website) next week.
Thanks Daniel.
Yeah, it is very true that second blog will make us more mature in terms or setting it up, filling all the contents and promoting it to get visitors. In fact the blog that i own now is my 4th blog. Starting from 2006 until now. Now im thinking of having my 5th blog!
Kristian Rodgers
If I have a niche, and have spent a lot of time on that blog (even though I have made mistakes) surely I should stick with it? I teach bass guitar online and my blog is pretty much a categorized portal with other ideas in it as well. I shouldn't start another one, surely? Sorry…i'm new to all this, and am still finding it quite overwhelming.
SEO Genius
I have been thinking about this for a long time now, however i do feel that i should persist on the current website i have until i am satisfied with the stable amount of traffic i am receiving.
Lex Bonife
Im glad to read this article. It is a confirmation that making two other blogs on different topics that are of interest to me was a wise decision
I have several. I do tbw, thegeekscene, and my personal site.
among helping many of my friends with theirs. its time consuming but i enjoy it.
Nick Ellis
Thanks for the post, Dan.
I'm planning two or three new blogs, the only thing missing is the time to do so.
I currently have two blogs but have felt the urge to start a couple of others because I have ideas for post that are not on topic of my first two blogs. I am planning two more additional sites. One I will start very soon. The next one I will start in the fall. I have a lot of research to do on it. Thanks for making me feel better about starting a third blog so quick.
Melt du Plooy
Daniel, you need a clear strategy for sure. For me, one blog is enough, finding the time to invest into my blog is the biggest problem.
Rockets, it is no word at all :). Thanks for spotting that typo, it was located on an old meta description code, I corrected it.
Hy, I have question to
What means "menetization" I'am foreign so i don't know all words.
Found it here in description
Dave, as explained on the post most people start blogging without a strategy. In my opinion just changing the focus and style of a poorly planned blog will not be optimal.
Apart from the stuff you can not change (domain name, permalink structure, etc) there are also other factors related.
Keep in mind that my advice is not to jump around creating blog after blog until something goes right. Patience and persistence are vital.
Yeah, I keep jumping place to place with my blog, but now I have a great domain name, and I'm just fiddling with the style. Seems to be working, as visitor counts are higher than on any other place I've run my blog!
I've had many bloggies. I also keep being wishy washy and getting domain name after domain name. I think I'd be more successful in anything (including blogging) if I stuck with one thing. 🙂
Dave Olson
Daniel, just playing the devil's advocate for a minute. Not sure you would need to start a new blog. Why couldn't you just refocus what you are doing? I realize it might be hard to redo the domain name, but design and focus could certainly happen without a whole new blog.
AL, can you please share your blog link. I want to go through your blog.
Now that is some dead on validation for my plans.
You're absolutely right, people get thrown in the blogging hype without knowing much. But once they get to know the secrets of the trade (for me, Daily Blog Tips did it), they begin reevaluating their approach. For me, I found out that I was all over the place with topics and was completely unpredictable so I decided to stop and start over, this time focusing on what I love to write about.
I even made my own theme coz none out there was perfect enough for my taste. So this time I'm gonna do it right, thanks to you and Daily Blog Tips!
Precisely, that is why I started my blog. The right things have to be done no matter what the cost.
Its just that you should have the enthu to start afresh and you should make a pro-cons list before starting.
Basketer, the timing is important as you mentioned. I guess it is a matter of opportunity, its like you are surfing the net and suggenly you get this insight about a blog/website that could be popular, either because it will provide information that people are looking for or because it has something really innovative.
I completely agree. While I've had a couple of personal blogs in the past, my present blog is the first one I actually planned out(just started it a couple of weeks ago). I'm generally posting at least once per day, and I'm not sure you can do that without a lot of focus.
Daniel, you are quite right that things will not go right the first time.
But, picking up a time when you should start a second blog is very important. If you are late, you will lose important backlinks which you have built over time.
Now is the moment that I'm creating the second blog. I have been blogging for the 6 month and I have learnt a lot of information about this, but sometimes I can't make everything that I know in practice. The most difficult thing for me is chosing the right niche.
Daniel, thanks for the good article! 🙂

Carrie Underwood Singing in The Sound of Music
No Time to Watch The Sound of Music Live? See What Happened
NBC's much hyped The Sound of Music Live! aired this week, with Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer filling the roles of Maria and Captain von Trapp, respectively. Though many people were underwhelmed by the show, it's undisputed that Underwood sang beautifully. In case you missed the show and want to see how Moyer looks (and sounds!) outside True Blood or how Underwood fares as Maria, we've got a little taste. Take a look at (and a listen to) Underwood and Moyer's duet of "Something Good."
For another classic The Sound of Music tune from this week's special, watch "So Long, Farewell" after the jump.
