Florida Power & Light this week claimed the $3 billion of work the company has done in recent years to hurricane-proof its system made a substantial difference in recovery from Hurricane Irma in the state.
FPL made its point by comparing Irma to 2005's Hurricane Wilma, which was the last major storm in many Miamians' memories. Though Irma was more powerful (Category 4 versus Category 3 for Wilma) and affected a larger swath of the state (35 counties versus 21), recovery was on average quicker.
"By all accounts, the hardening really did work," FPL public affairs director Mark Bubriski says.
A million more FPL customers were affected by Irma, almost 90 percent of the state's population. That is not as bad as Puerto Rico, where virtually everyone lost power, but is slightly worse than South Florida during Wilma. Moreover, in Puerto Rico, less than 10 percent of power has been restored, though Maria struck the island September 20.

Bubriski says the hardening, which FPL has said was part of the reason for raising customers' rates $400 million this year and $411 million over the next three years, was geared more toward rapid recovery than preventing outages.
"The point is to be able to restore power more quickly," Bubriski says. "There is no amount of hardening that is going to stop a 50-foot-tall date palm from falling on the lines."
Indeed, company numbers showed a 60 percent decrease in outage days between Wilma and Irma. Customers were without electricity an average of 15 days after Wilma, compared with seven days after Irma. The reason: Many more poles were knocked down in Wilma, and it took only a day to get all substations working after Irma.
"It is really hard to be without power," Bubriski says. "We know that."

I make no excuses for publishing this article in full.
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
No challenge is too great if one puts their mind to it. Michael Gallagher talks to a man who changed his life when he picked up a book in the local supermarket.
HE was a thirtysomething couch potato, enjoying comfortable evenings lounging in front of the telly with a cup of tea and a packet of biscuits. He had just quit smoking, but the replacement of the nicotine with sweets, bars and other tasty treats was another problem which had to be addressed.
As the 1970s prepared to give way to the electrifying eighties, Cathal Cryan was a Coolock-based detective sergeant heading down the avenue towards middle-age in a happy, but unfit state. Then, by chance, the Ballina native found a book in a bargain basket in a super-market and as many lazy journalists say – the rest is history.
"I had just given up smoking and was putting on weight. Then one day I was out shopping with my wife Breege (nee Forde, from Lacken) and I had my 'Road to Damascus' conversion.
"There was a basket of books near the checkout and I picked up one titled, Running for Your Life, by Bill Emerton. It cost me about 25p at the time and I can safely say it changed my life. That was my inspiration to go out running and there was a training manual in it, which really got me into the swing of things."
A few weeks ago, the reformed couch potato completed his 60th marathon when he crossed the finish line in the Dublin Marathon. The amazing transformation has been a lifechanging one and Cryan has no intention of stopping just yet.
"When I started running I decided I'd do one marathon and quit. It was to be a one-off – an experience – but that's not the way it turned out. Then when I hit 50 I said I'd quit, but that didn't happen either.
"Now I'm sixty-five and retired, but I have no immediate plans to stop running. I'm enjoying it too much," the Lord Edward Street native explained.
If enjoyment means getting up at 7.30 four mornings a week to churn out the training miles then Cryan is onto a winner. Since he caught the running bug as a 35-year-old he has run tens of thousands of miles in training and competition. In 1982 he kept a diary and when he added up the numbers at the end of the year he had covered 4,700 miles in training, finished five marathons, two 20-mile races and three half-marathons.
"That was a busy year and I actually won one of the 20-milers in Fermanagh, but if you're going to run good times you have to put in the miles and work harder. I would never have been considered an elite athlete, but I've always been consistent. Challenges drive me on and whenever anyone would say that something 'couldn't be done' that'd be the spur for me to prove them wrong."
In 1996 Cathal decided that he'd cycle to all Mayo's matches in that year's senior football championship. The opening round of the campaign saw the newly-installed John Maughan take his team to Ruislip for a meeting with London, so Cryan had to get the boat and pedal from Holyhead to the British capital.
"The whole thing started as a kind of a joke at work. I told people I would do it and I wanted to prove that I had cycled every mile, so I came up with a plan. I made up a card – a type of a passport – and got it signed at Holyhead and then in every town that I cycled through I went into the post-office and got them to stamp the card so that I could prove I had been there.
"I made good progress and the journey only took me a day and a half. I cycled for about 14 hours the first day and five on the second and when I reached Ruislip, John Maughan and the team were waiting there for me and John put the final signature on the card."
Mayo's progress through the championship that year meant that Cathal was on his bike until late September, but the Ballina native is a well travelled man when it comes to sporting endeavour. He has run marathons on three continents and is a regular competitor in London, New York and now Dubai. He has the distinction of appearing in the inaugural marathons in Dublin, London, Limerick, Belfast, Cork and the one and only Castlebar 26-miler, The Mayo Post Marathon, in 1982.
He has completed the famous distance in less than three hours on no-less than 27 occasions and has fond memories of many people and performances along the way, but his run in the 1986 New York event remains one of his favourite recollections.
"I was a guest of the NYPD that year and even though there would be great friendships between the two forces, there was also a huge competitive streak. They entertained me lavishly at the post race party, but there was little love lost in the race itself.
"I didn't have a disctinctive Garda vest on me and when I sat in behind one of the NYPD runners with three or four miles to go he didn't know who I was. I stayed with him all the way and with about 150 yards left, I kicked and beat him to the line. Little did I realise that he had been the leading NYPD runner and they weren't a bit happy to be beaten by the Irish fella, but I was delighted," he recalls.
That performance was a far cry from the early training runs when Cathal began his runnng career. He was still feeling his way into the sport when it was announced that Dublin would host its first marathon in the autumn of 1980.
"I had decided to run my one and only marathon in Birmingham that year, but then I heard about Dublin and switched my attention to that one. I was certain that I'd run just one marathon in my lifetime so I set myself a high standard. The famous athlete, Noel Carroll, had a training programme in the RTE Guide and I followed that, but only loosely. I was determined to beat Noel's time so I worked a bit harder than his training programme suggested and it worked. Noel finished in a time of 3 hours and eleven minutes and I had finished two minutes earlier."
That dedication to training is still evident in Cryan's running. These days he trains with competitors much younger than himself, just to stay sharp. A training partner went to school with one of his daughters and that gives the Mayo man great enjoyment.
"I really enjoy training with lads who are still in their 30s and 40s. I get a great kick out of that. They keep me sharp and that's why I can still run in the 3.50s for the marathon," the proud grandfather explained as he turned his attention to the next challenge – the next conquest. That's the way life has always been for the man from Lord Edward Street

Vladimir Putin Praises "Brilliant and Talented" Donald Trump
December 17, 2015
Russian President Vladimir Putin held his annual end-of-year press conference in Moscow Thursday, answering questions ranging from the struggling Russian economy to relations with Turkey to the one and only Donald J.Trump.
Putin praised to the current leader of the Republican presidential polls, telling ABC News: "He's a very colorful person. Talented, without any doubt. But it's not our affair to determine his worthiness. That's up to the United States voters."
Putin continued: "He wants to move to a different level of relations, to more solid, deeper relations with Russia. And how can Russia not welcome that? We welcome that."
Trump, if you'll recall, offered a similar sentiment in an interview with "60 Minutes" in September:
"I believe we will have a very good relationship with Russia. I believe that I will have a very good relationship with Putin."
The love between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin appears to be mutual https://t.co/ommgXmom3p | AP Photo pic.twitter.com/Mk1FNMIxMP— POLITICO (@politico) December 17, 2015

Have you noticed how everyone seems to offer an order taking service nowadays? From pizza chains to appliance depots, almost all establishments now allow customers to order either over the phone or via the internet.
But is there any way your Sandwiches R Plus restaurant can stand out from the rest—aside from the tasty sandwiches? Actually, there is. And you can start with that same customer call center facility.
It begins with the channels—voice (from an order taking call center), e-mail, website, Facebook, just to name a few. Whatever form of communication you use, make sure your customers can easily reach you, wherever they are. While you're at it, make sure that someone will be there to take down those orders—in a fast and timely manner. And always double check to ensure that all details are accurate, and that delivery addresses, for example, are correct.
Once the order has been received, quickly get in touch with the processing and delivery/dispatch teams. Doing so will increase the chances of clients getting their orders sooner. This likewise helps you keep them loyal, or even win new ones in the process.
It's great to have your very own order taking call center service. It's even better if it's an effective, kick-ass one.

Some of you may know who I am and some may not
My name is Don. Some of you may know who I am and some may not. I'm just starting to learn how to ride. I had a 2007 49cc pocket bike 2-stroke 3 years ago that I got really comfortable riding on. So, after I outgrew that, I got on an R1. Now, I can't wait to rip the living sh*t out of you 600cc riders. I feel untouchable when I'm on this thing. It's power like no other. But I would like to learn more than what I have done so far. So, please everyone... Give me any advice ,Motorcycle Mirrors that can help me be even faster, do wheelies, maybe even outrun those stupid@ss cops.
Aside from that, I hope to get help from some of you and maybe someday even meet some members in person.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 2:
The Odisha government is planning to float a separate coal mining company to participate in the e-auction of coal blocks. It hopes to get at least 12 coal blocks in the state, Energy Minister Pranab Prakash Das said Friday.
"There is a proposal to float a separate coal mining Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), a fully owned subsidiary of Odisha Mining Corporation(OMC). However, the final decision is yet to be taken," Das told IANS.
According to a state steel and mines department official, the company would bid for at least 12 coal blocks with a total reserve of 6,800 million tonnes located in the state. It will give a big boost to power generation in Odisha.
The new PSU may form joint ventures with various central government mining PSUs to develop the allocated coal blocks professionally.
The government is eyeing Manoharpur and Dipside Manoharpur, New Patrapada, Machhakata, Mahanadi, Baitarani East, Baitarani West, Naini, Chhendipada I, Chhendipada II, Rampia and Dipside Rampia coal blocks.
The coal blocks are necessary as the state government has lined up power projects to generate 14,220 megawatt (MW) in the state PSU sector and 37,220 MW by Independent Power Producers (IPPs), the official added.
During 1992 to 2010, the state was allocated 30 coal blocks for various state-owned PSUs and private companies. However, the Supreme Court de-allocated the blocks while de-allocating 204 coal blocks in the country. (IANS)

Sibanye Cuts South Africa Gold Output Forecast After Deaths
(Bloomberg) -- Sibanye Gold Ltd. said gold output in South Africa will be 6 percent lower than expected this year while costs will be higher, after a series of fatal accidents disrupted operations.
There have been 21 people killed at Sibanye's South African mines this year, nearly half of the total 47 reported deaths across the local industry. The company is addressing the issue with "utmost urgency," Chief Executive Officer Neal Froneman said Monday.
Sibanye is awaiting the outcome of an investigation by the country's chief inspector of mines and any public calls for action against the company are premature until the probe is completed, he said on a conference call with analysts. Froneman also repeated Sibanye's objection to the suggestion last week by Citigroup Inc. analysts that the company may have mined high-grade pillars that were previously considered "too dangerous" to exploit.
Read more about Citigroup's assessment of Sibanye
"The Department of Mineral Resources reviews mine plans on a monthly basis and if there was any high-risk mine plan it would be unlikely that it would see the light of the day," Froneman said. "We don't mine remnant pillars, that is purely speculation and completely untrue and incorrect."
Sibanye expects to produce 1.17 million to 1.21 million ounces of gold in South Africa this year, the company said in a statement. It increased the forecast range for so-called all-in sustaining costs by about 8 percent to as much as $1,263 per ounce. Sibanye expects platinum-group metals production in South Africa will be at the upper end of an earlier range and maintained its projection for U.S. output.
Sections of Sibanye's Masakhane mine, where an earth tremor resulted in the death of seven workers, have been shut for rehabilitation until February, the company said.
Sibanye views a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. against the company, Froneman and Chief Financial Officer Charl Keyter as "opportunistic" and will vigorously defend against it, the CEO said.
Sibanye shares have dropped 45 percent this year and are trading near the lowest since December 2013.

Parking fees have been added to this year's 38th annual Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Organizers say participants will be charged $10 to park near Christmas Hill Park.
"That land that we've had the benefit of using for so many years for our parking which is right up on the hillsides, now there is a bunch of beautiful new homes being built up there so we can't park there anymore," said Brian Bowe, Executive Director of the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Bowe says the newly identified parking areas are about three miles from the festival site, so air-conditioned parking shuttles will transport participants between both areas throughout the day.
"We have an added expense with all of the motor coaches we're running to bring our attendees from the parking lots into the festival. That's about a $300,000 expense for us just on those buses alone," Bowe said.
Some Gilroy residents have complained about the new fee and additional traffic to the area. Festival organizers say they don't anticipate added congestion to the city.
For those who may not want to drive to the three-day festival, Caltrain is offering a "Garlic train." For $20, participants can ride non-stop from San Jose Diridon station to the Gilroy station. A bus will then take commuters to the festival.
Parking tickets are available online, as well as festival entry tickets and Cal Train tickets.

Musician of the Year 2016 – BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards
Andy Cutting is a rarity. A musician's musician (BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner Best Musician 2008, 2011 & 2016): a soulful and technically outstanding melodeon practitioner with an ear for a fine tune. Many of his tunes have been purloined along the way: some considered contemporary classics on the folk scene. But then, Andy is also a warm and emotive performer, modestly engaging his audiences with his self-deprecating wit and then flooring them with downright staggering musicianship. There are few melodeon players who put so much feeling into their playing, whether it is a set of dance tunes, or accompaniment to a slow English ballad.
Andy has been consistent musical force since he came swiftly to prominence with the innovative Blowzabella. As well as a thorough grounding in the English tradition, Andy's influences extend way beyond these isles, particularly to the music of Central France and to the storming Quebecois tradition. These influences will be well-known to all those familiar with Andy's duo with English fiddle player, guitarist and singer, Chris Wood. Wood & Cutting became one of the most influential, and enduring, duos on the scene; paving the way for the explosion of many of today's thrusting young newcomers.
Andy's commitment to, and sense of pride in traditional music, as well as his sensitivity and understanding of the form, has made him one of the folk scene's most wanted, playing with Kate Rusby, John McCusker and Under One Sky to name but a few. There is also a growing demand for him to play outside this genre (having recorded with Sting, John Illsley (Dire Straits) but most recently being asked to join The Who for an acoustic concert in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. As well as his ongoing work with Chris Wood, Andy is currently working with Martin Simpson, June Tabor and Blowzabella.
"Hearing Andy Cutting play is like going through the wardrobe and finding Narnia. His music is glorious, joyful, moving, subtle, emotionally charged, a totally spell-binding experience that is never long enough". June Tabor

[Let's Try This] is going to be a new section inside the DIYs. It's about trying some tutorials that we see online and checking if they really work or not.
Hace un par de días, mi rubor se cayó y quedó destrozado. Recordé un tutorial para reparar maquillaje de "The Beauty Department" que he visto en TODAS partes y pensé en probarlo pero estaba dudosa del resultado.
Tenía la esperanza de que este tutorial fuese como el "Libro de los muertos" y pudiese revivir mi rubor pero no fue así.
Les mostraré lo que hice y como quedó.
Some days ago, my blush fell and broke. I remembered a tutorial for repairing make up from "The Beauty Department" that I have seen EVERYWHERE. I thought about trying it but I wasn't sure about the result
I hoped that this tutorial was like the "Book of the dead" and it could revive my blush but it wasn't like that.
I'll show you what I did and how it turned.
MATERIALS: 70% Alcohol, plastic wrap, something to smash and something to smooth it over. [for the last two I used a spoon]
First wrap the blush and smash it up with the back of the spoon.
It should look like this.
Then, add the alcohol. The tutorial says that you should use like 12 drops but it depends on what you want to fix.
Smooth it with the spoon and it should be ready.
I tried to flip it to remove the excess but it was a disaster.
I thought it could be that it needed more alcohol but then I added some drops more and it turned too pasty to smooth it.
A otras personas sí les ha funcionado, pero creo que depende de cada producto. Aunque puede funcionar a veces, no todo tu maquillaje puede ser salvado.
Sadly I couldn't repair my blush with this tutorial :(
To others it has worked, but I think it depends on each product. Even though this tutorial can work sometimes, not all your makeup can be repaired.
By the way, here's a picture of my assistant

It all started at Camp Joy in 1990 when LaTrice Towns-Miller was nine years old. She attended a week-long camp that afforded children in the foster care system a chance to reunite with siblings dispersed among foster homes. LaTrice got to see her sister and one of her five brothers; she had a blast! "Camp Joy got me out of the foster situation I was in and was just about fun."
As LaTrice returned to camp summer after summer, Joy became her sense of normalcy. "I knew I would go to camp and love it. Camp provided a sense of happiness for me in a very chaotic time of my life when I was in and out of 23 foster homes – some good and some not so. Regardless of whatever counselor I had, I knew she was going to love me and listen to me and let me be quiet if I didn't want to talk. Joy was my happy place. God put good people in my path that saw potential in me even when people in my daily life didn't."
One good person LaTrice vividly remembers was a Joy counselor when she was eleven. LaTrice's birth mom had stopped coming for visitation. When asked if she was upset, LaTrice vehemently retorted, "I don't care because no one cares about me anyway, so why should I be upset?" The counselor wisely advised, "There will always be someone who cares; look for that person. It may not be anyone you are related to, but there will always be someone who cares. I care about you." That taught LaTrice to start focusing on the people who did care and enriched her life, instead of on those who didn't and made her life less. "That advice was a very big deal to me and really helped change my life."
Another of those good people was Amy Thompson, head counselor in LaTrice's cabin. Amy asked where she was going to college. When LaTrice replied she was not going, Amy asked her why not, as she was so bright. This was a turning point for LaTrice. Amy saw her potential and implanted the idea LaTrice could do more than she ever thought possible. "Maybe I could?" – turned to – "I can do it!" She went to college and hasn't stopped going since…she recently earned her Ph.D.!
LaTrice is a special education teacher in North Carolina and gives credit for her career choice to Camp Joy. "At Joy, I became aware of whole new populations of kids with special needs – from the specialty camps of kids with medical concerns – to being the counselor of "regular" kids with varying learning abilities. I saw at Joy, that if given modifications and accommodations, these kids could have a voice and thrive! I was inspired to work with special kids. I choose to work in inner city schools where I can change kids' lives like mine was changed."
LaTrice is also grateful to Joy for her best friend, Sam. "We met at Joy. Physically we are opposite, yet we are kindred spirits! I needed somebody who would be in my corner, someone who would support me no matter what. I know if I needed her she would be there and I hope she knows I would be there for her!"
LaTrice's story has a happy ending. She moved into a "good" foster home at age 13, where two loving, good people eventually adopted her. She is married to the love of her life and has two babies – ages 15 and 20 – whom she adores. "I don't have rose colored glasses on about what life could have been if not for turns in the road…Camp Joy was one of those turns. Camp Joy changed the trajectory of my life; I want to give back, to change the trajectory of other peoples' lives." You are giving back, indeed, LaTrice! Blessings to you for continuing to "pay it forward." You're one of those good people, Dr. LaTrice Towns-Miller. Yes, you are.

text: We all want to be able to buy the perfect Gifts for Cancer Patients. Unfortunately, this seems to be a very unrealistic goal, and we end up doing something far less than that, or at least far different. I would say that I have learned that I have to do something different, that I'll never be that perfect friend or companion to the people in my life who are able, but I would also like to think that I have found certain ways around these things, especially when it comes to gift ideas. I don't think that any of my friends, since I started using the website Juju supply.com have thought that I am trivializing or overdoing it with my gifts that I purchased for them. For all the women in my life specifically, I bought bracelets, Rings, crystals, and all sorts of tokens and symbols of the type of healing that I think that they can most use, from listening to them and understanding their situation. This is meant so much to them. That I can now give them the physical manifestation of compassion, or protection, or even Tranquility in the form of Van item, is something that has not been unappreciated by the people in my life who are suffering from these types of things. In fact, I've been singled out by quite a few friends for knowing exactly what to do, and for helping them.

There are a number of things that people do in order to increase the presence of their business online and while some methods seem to work well others just fade away without doing your business any good. If you are looking for an affordable network to guarantee your business more exposure then you need to consider investing in Instagram followers today. There are a number of reasons why Instagram followers help you to get as much exposure as you want for your business and also help to generate more interest. While there are a number of ways to buy Instagram followers for $1, it is always a smart way to connect with professionals to understand the value of getting you the right followers. Purchasing Instagram likes and followers does not mean getting random people to follow your business page, it means connecting with people who are actually interested in the business that you have and who might purchase your services at some point or the other.
Instagram have filters that these professionals use in order to advertise your business and they use the filters to ensure that you get the right kind of exposure and the right audience has been targeted. The more people that start following your business on Instagram the more the exposure and since these people are usually potential customers they also tend to visit your business website which helps in the overall SEO of your business. It helps you to get more likes and it also helps more visitors to come to your website and see the services that you're offering. People who are usually potential customers tend to stay on your website for a long time and this is something that search engines appreciate. It pushes the website to the top of the ladder on search engines. This is very essential in order for you to create a strong online presence and establish a brand name for your business in the market.

The one time I bought expensive sunglasses (juicy couture and I LOVED them) I left them in a hotel room and they were never seen again. The loss was almost too much to take, so now I stick to $5 pairs.
I'm starting a new job at a doctor's office today and I have to wear scrubs and I'm overly excited about it. but I bought some off of amazon and they fit really weirdly... like, they're super tight in the butt/hips area and they don't really stretch. Did I just buy crappy scrubs? I NEED TO SEE A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO YOUR HAIR. Instagram or it didn't happen.

I wish I was careful enough to buy fancy sunglasses. But alas I stick with the $5 kind. They get scratched up and break. The end. I also have those same exact thoughts about blogging. I think about it a lot. I never actually do it. Blogging is hard. Woof.

Mountaingdad and I began our morning with a group of others from our county to form the core group of Preserve Giles County to oppose and fight the proposed pipeline. We met for two hours, introduced ourselves and I found that this made me very emotional as we each spent about 5 minutes giving our name and why we were there. It was the first time I have introduced myself to these people and talking about the fact that I was born here, my grandfather was born here and though I grew up in the eastern coastal Virginia, retired here. That our home is a labor of love, Son 1 spending two years of his life doing carpentry and stone work on our house. I installing wood siding, beadboard, cedar and doing flooring and baseboards. That we are invested financially, physically and emotionally in the home we built. The meeting was productive and will move on to a point where we feel we are fighting as a group, not as individuals with a common goal.
The disappointment came when I realized that of the 5 1/2 quarts of broth that I made with the turkey carcass, even though they were chilled overnight in the refrigerator with plenty of head room in wide mouth jars, all 4 that I put in the freezer, broke the jars and all 4 quarts of turkey broth are ruined. The remaining quart and a half were used to make gravy for turkey we have eaten since Thanksgiving. To try to salve a disaster, the remnants of the thighs and the meatier parts of the wings that weren't really done enough to suit me are currently simmering in another 3 quarts of water. The meat will be made into pot pies and casseroles, the broth frozen in vacuum sealing bags this time for use in soups and future gravies.
The delicious surprise came just a few minutes ago as I went to collect eggs and do a quick survey of the garden plot after last week's 20 something degrees and the wet snow. The row cover over the garlic had blown free from one end and I wanted to re-secure it. There was kale that had perked back up, not a lot, but certainly enough for a meal, maybe my favorite African Chicken with Hot Greens. And a berry bucket of turnips that weren't large enough to harvest a few weeks ago. I'll bet they are as sweet as honey after last week. We will enjoy them within the next day or two as well. The chard is gone, the wormy cabbages went to the chooks with the turnip tops that were too wilted to try to cook. With any luck, we will get one or two more meals of kale, then I guess it too will be pulled for the chickens or heavily mulched with hay for maybe some spring regrowth.
The chooks laid just enough eggs while the kids were here to provide us with a delicious breakfast each morning and to make the pumpkin pies. Yesterday there were only 3 and today 6. It seems that the dozen hens are not really going to be laying enough for me to sell many this winter, but should keep us fulfilled.
Love our life on our mountain farm.

So, I said earlier that I was "slightly scared to go to Saddlebak" [sic]. For those who don't know, Saddleback is the church that Rick Warren founded. To be more accurate, I wasn't scared . . . slightly intimidated perhaps? I grew up going to a pretty large church (over 4,000 in attendance now). Saddleback is currently the 4th largest church, with 22,000 weekly attendance.
Anyway, their campus is huge, with tons of buildings. My parents had been before, so it wasn't a big deal navigating the campus, but if I was a first time visitor, I think it'd be a bit confusing. Anyway, apparently nothing to be too intimidated about. While the auditorium is large, and it is a Southern Baptist church (which scares me a bit with the speaking on tongues thing . . .), the sermon was pretty typical for the post-Christmas sermon, focusing on how one can begin or deepen their relationship with God.
I've generally been impressed by large/megachurches, as they do a good job of building community, and reaching out to the masses. Of course, megachurches have issues, mainly in that while they're good for introducing people to God, they don't do well at leading to a deep relationship. This can be extracted out to any large organization - think colleges or the like, where the amount of true learning that occurs, as opposed to students jumping through hoops is debatable.
One of the big issues with both churches and college classes is that they tend to be lectures, and don't address different learning styles. Saddleback addresses some of this by encouraging the congregation to take notes and be engaged. It seems the programs typically have outlines, with fill in the blanks, and they have slides which help you complete your outlines. Not a huge step, but a step none the less, and maybe one of the few that can scale to a large auditorium.
Rick Warren didn't speak though, as apparently they had something like 16 Christmas services. I was curious to hear him, particularly as he's been drawing the ire of gay rights' advocates after his selection for the invocation for Obama's inauguration . . .

Rodeo Stampede: Beginner's guide to the jungle
If you've already conquered the Savannahand are running a profitable zooin Rodeo Stampede, then congrats. You're already one of the most impressive cowboys or cowgirls flying the friendly skies (trust us, that will make a lot more sense if you've been playing the game for a while).
But your job is only half done. Once you've corralled all of the Savannah animals, you're ready to step up to test your skills against the Jungle. You do remember what Guns N' Roses warned us about the jungle, right?
How to get coins faster in Rodeo Stampede
There comes a time in a cowboy or cowgirl's life when all the riding and lassoing skills in the world aren't enough. You're going to need some cold, hard cash to keep your sky zoo expanding in Rodeo Stampede.
Alas, until you really get the hang of being both an ace animal tamer and a zoo tycoon, you're probably going to find your virtual pocket empty on occasion. It can't be helped, because the main ways for earning coins are completing missions and opening your sky zoo to the public, and both have their limits.

step-by-step guides to help you build and grow your business
(and still have a life)
Is building and growing your business a constant battle with overwhelm?
Building and growing your small business is tough. You have to look after a million things. There are never enough hours in a day. You can't afford to outsource everything, you don't know how to do half of the rest of it, and you have to wade through acres of hype and hard sell to find the good stuff.
While you're spinning your wheels, the pressure is mounting to get more clients, more sales – but that never happens fast enough. And while you're running at a hundred miles an hour your life is slipping away. You don't have as much fun as you know you should, your dog barks at you when you get home and your mom's playing the guilt card.
So how do you deal with overwhelm? How do you decide what to do next – and when you do, how do you go about doing it?
There is a way out
The way out of overwhelm – and getting stuff done – has three parts:
- First, you need a system to organize everything you need to do. Without this you're just dealing with chaotic heaps of stuff competing for your attention.
- Then you need to understand what needs to be done. If you don't, you will never know whether something is being done well or not.
- Finally, you need to get stuff done. You can outsource it or you can do it yourself. If you need to do it yourself, you will need step-by-step guides.
You're going to find all of that stuff here – and more.
There's the world's easiest system for organizing all the stuff you have to do; articles and info products to help you understand stuff; and step-by-step guides to help you do it.
Oh yes – there's lots of free stuff too.
No sleaze. No hype. No hard selling.
Just information you can use to build and grow your small business.
When I started my own journey as a solopreneur I ran into the same problems you're probably dealing with. I didn't know how to create great websites, sales pages were a mystery and analytics were a dark hole. Marketing was something other people did – and I found out that it was not easy.
So I went searching for help – and I found tons of stuff long on promises and short on delivery. That was one of the reasons I decided to create this business – and from the beginning I decided that I would never fall into those traps.
I hate sleaze, hype and hard selling – so you'll never see any of that on this website or anything else you get from me.
And oh yes – no pop-ups. They're evil and should be banned.
The Tornado Method is so easy to use I was able to to dive right in. I immediately assessed where my business was underperforming and what I needed to do next. Following the "one thing" principle I am now actually making substantial progress moving my business forward.
Carrie A Tuttle
Coach, Canada
The simple self assessment shows you in a few minutes exactly where to focus and the one thing you should do next. It's amazing how quickly it gets you up and running.
Anthony English
Business Coach, Australia
The Tornado Method just took my client engagement to a whole new level. It's quick to identify exactly where my clients need to dedicate energy and resources. What really makes it work, however, is the simplicity and immediate clarity it brings to my business owners, bringing focus to what they are doing right, and where they are struggling. Powerful stuff.
Michael Dean Dargie
Creative Strategist, Canada
So what's different here?
It's all about getting stuff done so you can get your life back.
I started this business because I grew frustrated with spending hours and hours on the Internet and not finding the information or skills I needed to build and grow my business.
So I set out to build a library of DIY guides that actually help you get stuff done. Working with my clients showed that some needed more help, so now there's DIY guides, workshops, group and individual mentoring programs. Along the way I've learnt from some of the best in the world, developed my own methodologies and adapted from the best.
So it's all about getting stuff done. But everyone has different needs and different circumstances, so I aim to teach you a skill rather than just provide you with information. A skill is for a lifetime – and you can adapt the DIY guides for your own needs.
Welcome to Calgary, Alberta
I live and work in Calgary, Alberta – the gateway to the Canadian Rockies. The summers are beautiful and the winters are long and cold and filled with winter sports and shovelling snow(!).
We're also home to the annual Calgary Stampede when everyone turns into a cowboy. The mountains are about an hour's drive away and home to some of the best skiing in the world, beautiful lakes and endless forests.
Start your journey here
To build and run a successful small business, the first thing you need to do is deal with overwhelm so that you can focus on what matters most.
The world's easiest system for dealing with overwhelm
I developed the Tornado Method out of my own struggle to make sense out of chaos, help me focus and get stuff done. It will help you:
- deal with overwhelm by organizing all your business stuff into 11 buckets;
- get an at-a-glance view of how well you're doing in the 5 stages of your revenue engine;
- get brutally honest about what's working and what not; and
- focus in on the one thing you need to do next.
The Beginner's Guide to the Tornado Method is a free download. You can learn the basics in under an hour, assess your business in less than that, and decide where you need to focus in another 30 minutes. With overwhelm out of the way, you can focus on getting stuff done. And for that, there's more help – but you should start here.

PS: No pop-ups
Pop-ups are supposed to be one of those things that get you lots of subscribers to your newsletters – but I find them intrusive and the leads they generate are generally low quality. So you won't find any here.
PPS: No hype, no hard sell
If you're here you probably dislike hype and hard sell as much as I do. I've never found a 5-day email course that will make anyone expert in anything – so you won't find any of that kind of stuff here.
PPPS: Life should be (more) fun
I won't claim to be a comic but I do enjoy what I do – so you'll see my (somewhat dry) humour pop up here and there. I hope that you will find this stuff useful – and have more fun building and running your business.

In a note to clients on Thursday ahead of today's big January jobs report, Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle gave a below-consensus outlook — +210,000— for payroll gains in the first month of 2015.
Mericle wrote that, "Labor market indicators were weaker on balance in January, with declines in the employment components of major business surveys pointing to a slower rate of hiring after four consecutive months in which payroll employment gains exceeded 250k."
Additionally, Mericle outlined one reason why the report could be stronger than expected — job availability — and 6 reasons why the report could disappoint:
- Service sector surveys. The ISM nonmanufacturing employment index—which we have found to be one of the better predictors of nonfarm payrolls—fell 4.1pt to 51.6. The employment components of the New York, Richmond, and Dallas Fed service sector surveys also all declined on the month. Only the employment component of the Markit services PMI improved in January, picking up slightly from its December low. Service-sector employment gains slowed substantially to 173k in December and averaged 195k in 2014.
- Manufacturing employment indicators. The employment components of the manufacturing surveys were weaker on balance relative to December. While the employment components of the Chicago PMI and Empire surveys improved, the employment components of the ISM manufacturing, Philly Fed, Richmond Fed, Kansas City Fed, and Dallas Fed surveys softened on the month. Payroll employment growth in the manufacturing sector slowed to 17k in December and averaged 16k in 2014.
- Jobless claims. The four-week moving average of initial jobless claims leading into the payroll reference week rose 8k to 307k.
- Job cuts. According to the Challenger, Gray and Christmas report, job cuts rose about 6k on a seasonally-adjusted basis in January. The increase was more than accounted for by a jump in job cuts in the energy sector, which rose from under 3k in December to over 20k in January. As we noted recently, the sharp drop in oil prices and recent guidance from major producers point to an eventual decline in energy sector employment of as much as 60-70k by mid-year.
- ADP report. The ADP employment report disappointed consensus expectations in January with a 213k gain, 40k softer than the gain reported for December. The professional and business services category accounted for most of the slowdown, and employment growth slowed in the construction and manufacturing sectors as well. In general, initial print ADP estimates have not been strong predictors of initial print payroll gains reported by the Labor Department.
- Weather. Our method for estimating the impact on payrolls of temperature deviations from seasonal norms suggests modest downside in January, as temperatures normalized from much warmer than usual in December to only modestly warmer than usual in January. The Regional Snowfall Index registered an intermediate-level snowstorm in January, but it came too late in the month to affect the January employment report.
You can read our full preview here, and we will be here with live coverage all morning.

The 9 Least Healthy Restaurant Meals In America
The results are in and they're not pretty. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has released its annual Xtreme Eating Awards, which features nine of the unhealthiest meals from American chain restaurants. This year, nearly all of the winners have more than 2,000 calories (remember, that's per dish!), and one even has a week's worth of saturated fat.
Since three of of the nine spots went to The Cheesecake Factory, the chain garnered a special mention as the winner of the 2014 XXXtreme Eating Award.
Here are the "winners":
1. Bruléed French Toast from The Cheesecake Factory
It sounds delicious, but this brunch item, described as the "best" French toast ever, has 2,780 calories and a whole week's worth of saturated fat (93 grams) when ordered with the optional bacon. And don't even think about all that sugar.
2. Red Robin's A.1. Peppercorn Monster Burger
To start with, the burger is topped with bacon, cheese and crispy onion straws, and you can take this to the next level by adding another beef patty to make it a "monster." Then, there's the fact that the burger comes with bottomless steak fries.
If you eat this meal with a Monster Salted Caramel Milkshake (1,500 calories all on its own), the grand total comes to 3,540 calories and four days worth of sodium. We can't even believe this is legal.
3. The Big Slab of St. Louis-Style Spareribs from Famous Dave's
The ribs come with two sides (such as fries and baked beans) bringing this winner to 2,770 calories and 14 teaspoons of sugar in a single meal. Yikes!
4. Deep Dish Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza from BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse
The name really says it all here, but the 2,160 calories and 4,680 milligrams of sodium in this 11-inch "signature" pizza confirms that this is about as bad as it gets.
5. The Super Cinco Combo from Chevys Fresh Mex
If you guessed that eating one beef enchilada, one chicken enchilada, one beef taco, one hand-rolled pork tamale and one Chile Relleno could be overkill for a single meal, you're not wrong. This comes out to 1,920 calories and a whole lot of fat and sodium.
6. Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic from The Cheesecake Factory
This one doesn't sound so terrible, but remember, it's from The Cheesecake Factory, which makes it less surprising that this pasta dish turns out to have 2,410 calories and 93 grams of saturated fat. Yuck.
7. The Big "Hook" Up Platter from Joe's Crab Shack
Remember when you thought seafood was the "healthy" option? Well … when seafood and crab balls stuffed with jalapeños and cream cheese coated in panko breadcrumbs with a side of ranch are served with fish and chips, coconut shrimp, crab stuffed shrimp and sides, the dish has an insane 3,280 calories and FIVE DAYS worth of sodium.
8. Prime New York Steak Contadina Style from Maggiano's Little Italy
This dish has 2,420 calories, half of which are from the Contadina-style topping. How is this possible?
9. And … we're back to: Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory
It ends where it begins! With a dessert that packs 1,500 calories and 21 teaspoons of sugar. Crazy.
And there you have it ... the nine unhealthiest meals of 2014. Just nine more reasons to love wonderful, nutrient-dense home-cooked meals.
Here's what Lawrence Williams, CEO of United States Healthful Food Council, has to say about how restaurant chains can do better for American consumers:
