Walking into Café Anna I knew immediately it was going to be pleasant surprise, a little slice of southern comfort in snowy Otaru. Maybe it was the Gone with the Wind movie poster or just the gentle smile of Anna, the proprietor, regardless I knew I had found a place I could relax. I certainly needed a good sit down and hot beverage after a trek through the blustery business section of Otaru to find a currency exchange bank- a task more daunting than I had first thought. Yes a taxi would have been quicker (warmer), but I enjoy the exploration and learning process.
Anna made the best coffee! Burr grinding the beans one cup at a time, warming the classic cup with boiling water from an antique kettle she then filled a French press with the same- she was pouring my cup as the timer she obviously didn't need went off. While enjoying the coffee I started to look around the narrow shop and noticed a collection of vinyl records. She explained they were from her father and invited me to thumb through the selection. Dating from the 50's through the 70's she had some classics- Andrews Sisters, Satchmo, even disco era ABBA and Diana Ross. More informed than most Americans, Anna pulled out a classic movie clip of To Kill a Mockingbird when she found out I was from Alabama… I think she must fancy the Cary Grant type.
Recovery lesson here? There once was a time that travel to a new place would have meant just a different place to pass out. In recovery, one can find the most rewarding experiences and wonderful people… and find out what savoring life really means.
So here's a TDA Salute to Anna and her café, look her up if you are ever in Otaru.

Connecting for Life
Connecting for Life is founded on the suicide prevention work that has taken place in Ireland over the past ten years as part of Reach Out, the Government's previous strategy to reduce suicide. Connecting for Life involves preventive and awareness-raising work with the population as a whole, supportive work with local communities and targeted approaches to priority groups. The strategy proposes high-quality standards of practice across service delivery areas, and an underpinning evaluation and research framework. This wide reach presents unique implementation challenges.

Ardoyne parade is banned once again
There have been calls for calm after a Parades Commission ban on the Orange Order from walking along part of the return route of a contentious parade on July 13.
Three lodges want to return along a stretch of the Crumlin Road that separates unionist and nationalist communities in north Belfast. But the Parades Commission ruled they cannot go beyond the junction of Woodvale Parade and Woodvale Road.
A similar ruling has been in place for the past two years.
A commission spokesman said the "decades-long parading conflicts" had severe consequences for local communities.
"The present dispute, involving nightly parades and a protest camp, has heightened inter-community tensions," he said.
"The dispute concerns fractured relationships at the interface. Its resolution is dependent upon improvements in these relationships."
The spokesman said that out of 26,000 notified loyalist/unionist parades in the past 10 years, 24,180 had not had any conditions imposed upon them by the Parades Commission.
The UUP's Andy Allen urged people to remain calm and keep protests within the law.
"It is essential that people do not fall into the trap of reacting with violence or placing themselves in a situation where they come into conflict with the law," he said.
North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds said the Parades Commission's decision was "appalling and unjustified".

Let's face it, the do's and don't's of wedding etiquette can leave friends, family members, and acquaintances of the bride and groom feeling restless. And especially when it comes to the mannerisms of gift-giving, the lines can seem helplessly blurry.
As You Wish team to the rescue… Take a look at some of our "must-do's" and "un-necessaries" of gift giving throughout the engagement and wedding process.
The key here; being aware of your budget AND your relationship to the bride and groom. Assess a maximum and minimum that you are willing and able to spend on an engagement gift, a shower gift, and a wedding gift. Then, consider the bride and/or groom's role in your life, and your's in theirs. Are you close friends or acquaintances? Coworkers or family members? Distant relatives or first cousins who spend every major holiday and annual vacation together?
And as far as disbursing your finances among various events, our rule of thumb is to allocate 20% on an engagement gift, 20% on a bridal shower gift, and 60% on the wedding gift. Of course, if the couple opts out of an engagement party, we run into some confusion. In this case, consider your relationship to the couple, and if it feels most appropriate, give them a lesser-scale gift and a card congratulating them on their engagement, anyways. If not, save your means for the bridal shower and the wedding, and gift them something they're dying to have off of their registry.
If you are invited to a bridal shower in addition to the actual wedding; and you're debating whether or not to bring a gift to both occasions, the most sound decision is to divvy up your resources between the two. However, it is not always imperative to every bride and groom that you have a gift for them at the wedding, in the case that you've already purchased them a full-scale gift for their shower. Make a judgment call based on your relation to the couple and your ability to extend your finances. Our recommendation: play it safe and get a smaller scale gift for the shower, and a full scale gift for the wedding.
Another question of much debate; to shop from the registry or give cash? Typically, picking a gift off of the couple's registry is your safest bet. The reason for a registry, after all, is so that the bride and groom will receive items they both need and want. Keep in mind if the couple has organized a honeymoon registry, too. If so, this is a unique and efficient way to put your dollars towards the pair's future. If their registry is extremely picked over by the time you've gotten online to buy the couple a gift, chances are, the bride and groom will prefer a check instead of something you thought of off the top of your head. They'd likely enjoy a cash gift just as much as a gift off their registry, even. The typical cash or check gift amount is upwards of $100-$150. Again, distant friends and coworkers tend to spend on the lesser side of that approximation, whereas close family and friends will usually spend more than that.
If they didn't give you a gift for your wedding, should you still give them one for theirs? Our word of advice is yes. Cut a little slack and consider the circumstance they may have been in when you were saying your own vows. And in the event that they really just forgot, it's probable that your gift-giving will remind them. If you feel better about scaling down the expense of the gift you purchase for them, that's fine. The bottom line is, it will likely give you a happier spirit to choose to act out of pure kindness instead of spite.
If it's a destination wedding or requires you to travel out of town; it is acceptable to spend less on a gift. However, this does not necessarily mean it's appropriate to skip out on a gift all together. It's never alright to deem your attendance at the event equivalent to a gift.
If you are unable to attend the wedding; you should consider your relationship to the couple above the financial cost to send them a gift. If it is someone you feel close to or see often, a gift is probably expected even if you unfortunately can't be there for their special day.
If you are on rocky ground financially; it's okay to consider a thoughtful and creative gift. Something fun and lighthearted that the couple may or may not have registered for will let them know that you care for them and wish them a bright future together.
After all, it really is the thought that counts!

Easy Ways to Transfer Some FilesOctober 10, 2009 # 6:26 am # USB Gadgets # 4 Comments
Some people might have some problems when they need to share some files from one computer to another computer. This isn't a double headed USB micro flash drive. This is an easy way to transfer a file from a computer to another computer without you need to plug and unplug the USB micro flash drive. This is the perfect kind of device that you may use to transfer some files easily.
Here is the explanation about how it works. This device is called as the iTwin. This device consists of two parts. You may transfer some files from a computer to another computer by plugging the first part to your computer, and the other part to the destination computer. All that you need to do is just click and drag the files to the destination computer. That would be a simple way to transfer the files.
The iTwin are connected via the internet. This is the perfect device to transfer some date. All that you need to do is just plug those two parts of these devices and you may transfer the files easily. You don't need to plug and unplug the USB micro flash drive anymore. You would get the excellent technology with only less than $100 USD.

Ben had his spinal tap yesterday and it took far longer than they expected because they were having a hard time getting around a mystery bone in his back. After calling in reinforcements they were finally able to get another fluid to run the test, we will get the results next Tuesday. He was in a lot of pain and had a hard time with having to stay on his back for so long afterwords to try and keep him from getting a spinal headache. They wheeled him down to the infusion room on a stretcher and got him ready for his chemo.
His doctor came in and told him the results from his MRI. There was nothing that they could see that would cause the numbness in his feet but they did tell him that there was a part of the brain that a bone didn't fully develop when he was an infant so he decided to make a story out of that and call his mother and convince her that the doctor said that she must have dropped him on his head as a baby and that is why he acts retarded sometimes. He thought he was a funny man yesterday.
That didn't last long, he was very sick on the way home and all day today. Chemo really wipes him out for at least 3-4 days then he begins to feel better slowly. About 2-3 days before his next round he begins feeling like his old self just in time to be knocked down again.
Ben has a PET scan scheduled for next Friday to see if the chemo is working or if they need to tweak it. We will have the results before his next treatment. The doctors are hopeful that it is working and so are we. Even if it is working he will have treatments every other week through December at least.
My ultrasound went well, Auntie Allison got to see the babies and one of them even waved at her. They are all growing so much it is getting harder to see them. There is 3 hands in one shot sometimes! LOL! My cervix is holding up great! The OB said that it is doing better than most women carrying one baby at this point so I am very hopeful to make it to 32 weeks at least.

Sometimes you have to fit in to stand out. A coming of age comedy that explores what it's really like to be an outsider in your own world. Esther is not like other girls; she befriends a duck, talks to God through the toilet and break-dances at her bar-mitzvah. Her all-girls private school is a daily torment of mind-numbing conformity and bell-ringing rituals. Home is a pressure cooker driver by her mother Gracie's demand for perfection. But life changes when Esther meets Sunnie and her mother Mary. She learns that it's ok to be different and being true to yourself is more important than fitting in.

SOUTHAVEN — Officials with the Southaven Chamber of Commerce say it reimbursed Mayor Greg Davis for expenses through his account with the organization.
The Commercial Appeals reports how much Davis has been reimbursed over the years is unknown. The newspaper says it has filed a records request with the chamber. Chamber officials say no questions have been raised about the expenses.
Davis has come under increasing scrutiny since November when State Auditor Stacey Pickering told him to pay back about $170,000 for allegedly improper billings, including travel, stress counseling and food and liquor and a gay sex shop in Canada.
After news of the spending was revealed, Davis admitted he was gay and that he and his wife had divorced.

MyFitnessPal Redesign
As the first designer at MyFitnessPal, I redesigned a whole product family for iOS and Android phone/tablets the two years I was there. Creating a consistent visual and UI design system, while respecting each platform and prepping for localization of 10 languages. While still designing for iOS6, managed the updating of all UI elements to iOS7 including introducing a new navigation system. Touched and reduced the original 144 screens in the app. All efforts resulted in the modernization and intuitiveness of the app, reducing parity between platforms and a significant reduction of support team inquiries.
When I joined MFP, there were close to 30 million users. During my time there, registered users grew to over 70 million. The designs I created helped MyFitnessPal get featured for the first time by Apple for both iPhone and iPad apps for 2013 and then again for 2014. We also became a pre-install app for Windows and featured in Windows commercials in 2013-2014.

I've suffered from two punctures in the space of four weeks both on the rear tyre. Neither me nor the tyre fitter could find the cause of the first one (I only noticed it about three miles after hitting the motorway) but the second one was a poxy little nail.
This has led me to believe that either A) I have been the subject of a curse by anthromorphic Ogri nails and shrapnel or I am doing something wrong.
As someone with enough common sense to realise that curses are the preserve of banshees and mad men I have favoured the later. I can only assume that I picked up both these punctures while filtering through stationary traffic, which often means riding near and on the centre of the road (have I just answered my own question with that statement or am I just unlucky?)
The strange thing is the guys that fitted my tyre said that it was the sixth puncture in five days (all on motorcycles) which leads me to believe that either inanimate objects are coming to life and declaring war on motorcyclists or the local authorities are doing a piss-poor job of cleaning the roads?
Has anyone else been plagued by punctures recently or can anyone point tell me if I should try and be more patient in stationary traffic?

Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., was briefly placed in handcuffs Monday after refusing to leave an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Chicago.
Gutierrez was attending a meeting with ICE officials and immigration activists, lawyers and elected officials.
"They were asking about specific cases and about the general conduct of ICE and deportations," said Doug Rivlin, Gutierrez's director of communications.

"The congressman has decided that he did not get the answers he was looking for from the ICE regional director and he's going to be staying inside until he gets answers, even if that means risking arrest," said Rivlin.

A federal statement said no charges would be filed.
"… ERO (Enforcement and removal Operations) Chicago officials responded to the Congressman's requests for information. However, when the Congressman sought actions and assurances that ICE officials couldn't provide, he and other meeting attendees staged a sit-in and refused to leave the ERO office at the conclusion of the meeting," ICE Public Affairs Officer Gail Montenegro said in a statement.

She continued, "Federal Protective Service officers were called by ERO to the scene because the individuals would not leave the ERO office. FPS provided three separate verbal warnings and after each warning FPS provided the individuals several minutes to comply."
"When the group refused to leave, they were briefly placed in flexible plastic restraints before ICE officials relayed that they no longer wanted the individuals removed from the building. The Congressman and other individuals were placed in the restraints for approximately two minutes before the flex cuffs were removed by FPS. FPS did not cite these individuals," she said.
Gutierrez later posted on Twitter that federal officials released him because they know their policies are "morally bankrupt."
ICE knows deportation policies are egregious, unfair. They have not arrested us because they know policies are morally bankrupt. #chiresist

Gutierrez claimed a victory.
"We accomplished our goals today. We stood up to the Department of Homeland Security and to Donald Trump's hatred and bigotry," he said.
"Their response was, 'We can't get you an answer today,' and if we don't leave, 'you will be arrested,'" Gutierrez said after he emerged from the building.
"We told them, 'Place the handcuffs (on us); we're ready to go to jail.' After they placed handcuffs on us, in moments, the bully kind of stopped being a bully and they took the handcuffs off of us," he said.

I get the best results when I Mommy myself. When I simply say, No, you don't need that-- to another bite of chocolate, or the diet soda I want to quit, or a few of those Tostito chips that are, after all, whole grain, right? (Wrong. At least in the ways that count.)
Saying no when you're undernourished or starving is not really an option, unless you have some powerful agenda at stake. But I'm not undernourished or starving. I work plenty of treats into my life, food and otherwise. I'm far from deprived. So when I say no, I'm giving myself the same thoughtful treatment I take so seriously with my kids.
It only hurts for a minute. I'm just fine.

Maybe I need to start asking you before I put anything in my mouth. :-) Between the email lag and the out-and-out no, I should certainly get this weight moving the right direction again.ReplyDelete
I think I need to put myself in time-out.ReplyDelete
So true. None of us need it, we only want it.ReplyDelete
This is a very good point! I'm great at telling my kids no, but it took a long time before I could tell myself no and mean it!ReplyDelete
Very true, and I still sometimes have a tantrum when I tell myself 'no' LOL!ReplyDelete
Absolutely! Occasionally, it doesn't work, but usually we can accept this, with maybe a little practice.ReplyDelete
Why is it that saying no to a child when something is not good for them, is so much easier? If only I was that strict with myself.ReplyDelete
that's a good mindset to have. keep that up!ReplyDelete
Great blog and a good tactic...am going to try it. Thanks!ReplyDelete

I had picked up a bunch of meat on Thursday, so I would have supplies ready to smoke the weekend away. Amongst the supply was two racks of Beef ribs. Wife decided today we eat ribs (invited her parents over), and tomorrow I get to do two shoulders and a Brisket. That will be tomorrow's story. I rubbed both racks with spicy brown mustard, and some of my signature beef rub. Here they are going in a little after lunch. (wife doesnt get home till 7) Bones about to be foiled. Spritzed with apple cider. Looking good so far! Will update when I pull them out here in a few hours. Going to finish them with my Honey Chipotle grilling sauce during the last hour.

Carolina Farm Credit had another very successful year in 2016. While our annual report will be published next month that will provide the details, I am pleased to report that our final net earnings exceeded $31.8 million. This will allow us to return a significant portion of our earnings to you in the form of a patronage refund. We thank you for utilizing our products and services to meet your financial needs, which in turn allows our cooperative to be profitable and positioned to serve our membership into the future.
Winston Churchill once said, "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." We experienced more change in 2016 as we sought to improve efficiencies and provide a better customer experience for our borrowers. One change you may notice is our new logo. We haven't changed our name – we're still Carolina Farm Credit, but it was time to change our logo to bring a better brand awareness.
We also fully completed the consolidations of the Mocksville, Hillsborough and Wadesboro branch offices into surrounding branches. We are closing in on contracts for the real estate to build a new branch in Yadkinville with a goal to have a new building completed by the end of 2017. These consolidations were made with no reduction in employees, but some were relocated to work in different roles of the company. We opened an outpost in Franklin that currently houses a Home Loan Originator and provides office space for our loan officer in Murphy to meet with customers. All of these changes will enable us to operate in an efficient manner and enhance the level of service provided to you. They also position us for growth into the future.
Thank you for allowing Carolina Farm Credit to serve you and best wishes for a successful 2017.

Rancilio Silvia Espresso Coffee Pod Kit | Adaptor - Conversion - Modification
from Amazon.com
Average Customer Review:
Reviewers say the Rancilio Silvia espresso maker offers the best combination of durability, espresso quality, and ease of use, with many saying it's the best machine available for less than $1,000. It's great for newbies, most reviewers say, but experienced users love it as well
Coffee shop-quality espresso. The Rancilio Silvia is a semi-automatic espresso machine that reviewers say delivers exceptional espresso and experts agree: in testing at TheSweethome.com, it made the best cup of espresso, although, since that's a roundup aimed at beginners, the Silvia wasn't the overall recommended machine. The Silvia has some commercial-grade elements that help filter and distribute the water more evenly while providing maximum heat stability. The 12-ounce boiler is one of the largest in any entry-level espresso machine. It takes about 20 minutes for the Silvia to warm up, and for best results, some users suggest running warm water through the machine to warm up the pipes and portafilter. The vast majority of experts and owners say that purchasing a high-quality burr coffee grinder is an absolute must to accommodate this machine's precision requirements.
Easy to use; needs some fiddling for "perfection." The actual operation of the Rancilio Silvia is fairly simple and straightforward -- push the right buttons to turn it on and off and to start and stop the brewing process. It also features a fully articulating steam wand, making it simple to control. However users must experiment to find the right espresso grind and tamping pressure. Most espresso enthusiasts say they enjoy this process, but other machines offer simpler operation and coffee forums are teeming with questions from frustrated newbies who can't figure out why their espresso doesn't taste quite right. The Silvia can be adapted to use ESE (Easy Serve Espresso) pods with an optional Pod Adaptor Kit (Est. $120), but attaching and removing the adapter can be tricky -- and you can't brew from grounds with the adapter attached. The 67 ounce water reservoir is removable for easy re-filling.
Built like a tank. Reviewers praise the Rancilio Silvia's design, saying it's a sturdy, high-quality machine. All parts are commercial or semi-commercial grade and are constructed primarily with stainless steel and cast iron, two materials known for long-term durability. Owner feedback at Amazon.com indicate the Rancilio Silvia a nice-looking kitchen appliance, but owners also say it won't win any awards for being especially modern or retro. That said, its stainless-steel housing fits in with most décor. It's a heavy machine at just more than 30 pounds, so it's best left sitting on a countertop -- but be sure you have the space -- at 9.2 by 11.4 by 13.4 inches it's smaller than some espresso machines, but will still take up a fair amount of real estate in your kitchen.

Average Customer Review:
Since this is a guide for beginners, the Rancilio Silvia is not the top pick, that honor goes to the easier to use Breville BES840 XL, but the Silvia is the espresso machine that delivered the best cup of espresso overall. Cale Guthrie Weissman says, "we had a few truly barista-quality shots from the Silvia," and notes that it can even be used in small professional settings.
This is an update to a review that Dan Kehn originally wrote for Home-Barista.com in 2003. He notes improvements Rancilio has made to the Silvia that makes it easier for newbies to use, but also notes that it's less forgiving than even pricier, commercial-quality machines. In conclusion, he gives it an overall score of 3 stars of 5, which he notes is still "quite respectable."
The Rancilio Silvia earns a perfect 5-star rating in just under 350 reviews. Owners say it makes wonderful espresso, but most warn that you must use a high-quality grinder to get top results. Quite a few of these reviewers have owned their Rancilio for a year or more.
The Rancilio Silvia is highly rated at CoffeeGeek.com, an online community for coffee connoisseurs. Most owners who post reviews are delighted with it, calling it a great starter machine and a consistent, rewarding device. Overall, about 230 users give it a score of 8.5 out of 10.
Nearly 300 owners give the Rancilio Silvia an overall rating of 4 stars out of 5. Most love it and say it's easy to use and makes a mean cup of espresso. Some complain about the learning curve, and say they struggle with making a good espresso shot.
This is an older review, but still relevant as the Rancilio hasn't changed significantly since it was posted. Erin Meister, an experienced barista, discusses the best espresso machines for home use at different price points. She calls the Silvia "incredibly user-friendly" and says it "even offers the option for geek-leaning coffee people to add features.
There are no customer reviews of the Rancilio Silvia, but it is a staff pick. Coffee expert Gail also Williams gives it a thorough video review, and the accompanying write-up includes pros and cons.

The final Reader Submission to close out the weekend on PRC.net is a fairly interesting information leak, as a reader who wishes to remain anonymous has shared with us some very interesting details about the upcoming console version of Assetto Corsa. The information comes from a friend of a friend, who's currently a community beta tester for Assetto Corsa, and obviously that might be up in the air with some of the info we're about to publish.
My friend is one of the community beta testers for Kunos Simulazioni, and we have been reading your site since the article you posted about Zandvoort not being laser scanned. It made us laugh. I bookmarked the site and kept returning. My friend eventually told me a lot about what it's like to be a beta tester, and all of the things he knows about Assetto Corsa. We decided it was a good idea to send PRC.net the information he knows.
I have included screenshots of the beta testers only forum as proof. Please do not post that screenshot.
It's cool, there's gotta be an NDA involved with a project of this scale. – James
Assetto Corsa will be published by 505 Games. I don't know much about the publisher, but I know that they are not urging Kunos to finish the game for consoles. It's a really weird strategy they have. They want Assetto Corsa to release however it is in 2016, and don't care about bad press. They just want the game out there. It doesn't matter to them if people like it or hate it, they still bought the game, and it is more money to develop Assetto Corsa 2. It is a franchise now like Project CARS 2.
They want gamers to think "well, if you don't like Forza or Gran Turismo, there is this new game called Assetto Corsa you should try," and that's how they will get their sales. Anytime somebody complains about the game, they will be told "well, this was just their first attempt on consoles so don't be so harsh, Assetto Corsa 2 will be much better!" I am sad that we are falling into that loop again.
But the proof of this game being a console cash grab comes from Kunos, not 505 Games. Marco Massarutto owns the company, and the Assetto Corsa brand. It was his decision to put the game on the new consoles as a way to create sales and "brand awareness" so Assetto Corsa 2 could happen. Not everyone inside Assetto Corsa agreed with the decision, so some of the developers and coders are dragging their feet. That is why you see so many tire updates and nothing for new features. There are some new cars coming like the Toyota and Audi prototypes, but not features.
There is uncertainty with 2016. We are very sad that this is happening. Please do not post our names, my friend still works hard to beta test as there are not bad people in this project, only bad decisions.
Well this aligns with stuff I've been told previously. The moment I heard 505 Games had been involved with getting Assetto Corsa on consoles, I knew things were going to get extremely rough. 505 Games aren't exactly the most reputable of publishers, opting to consistently push out shovelware titles that fail to earn even a passing grade on Metacritic.
My knowledge of 505 Games boils down to two of the titles mentioned above, Backbreaker and Payday 2. My buddy from work is a big Payday 2 player, a first person shooter centered around online co-op bank robberies. Recently, the developers held a huge community challenge week, where cumulative statistical goals were set for the entire playerbase to achieve over the span of ten days. Upon completion, the developers would unlock a secret in-game reward, and of course the community went hard in the paint trying to unlock the special prize.
The reward for their efforts ended up being micro-transactions, after the developers explicitly said the game would never have them. Take a guess who was behind that call.
A title I'm more familiar with out of the stable presented by 505 Games is Backbreaker. Released in 2010, the game was an attempt to capitalize on the declining quality of EA's Madden NFL series, by creating a football game powered by the Euphoria physics engine. As American Football is a full contact sport, and most sports titles rely on motion captured animations, a problem with the Madden NFL games was that not every physical interaction made sense, and dedicated Madden players could abuse certain tackle animations for their benefit. In theory, replacing the exploitable element of the game with a live physics engine would not only make for an extremely realistic football simulator, it would eliminate any exploits whatsoever.
The game flopped, and was released in a state similar to Assetto Corsa. When it worked, it was unbelievable. It just didn't work often enough to be the Madden killer football fans had hoped for. Like Assetto Corsa, firing up Backbreaker was a complete dice roll. Sometimes, you'd get an extremely competent alternative to Madden. Other times, you'd get occurrences like the ones displayed in the above video.
Unfortunately, those sort of games are what 505 appear specialize in, just by going through their list of titles on Wikipedia. Their name alone should be enough to worry the diehard Assetto Corsa fans, because historically 505 Games haven't cared about the quality of what they publish. With no concerns about quality, and profits as the sole motivation behind the company, you have to wonder if the game has been placed in the right hands.
As for the insider info about what's going on over at Kunos headquarters, it's something that sort of makes sense. The abrupt end to Stefano's coding livestreams, the hostility within the forums leading to contributing community members being banned, and a lack of any real development aside from constant tire model revisions… One must wonder why such minimal improvements are being made to the game when it's getting close to crunch time for consoles, and why there's an interesting vibe surrounding the Kunos team on the forums as of late.

Christian Business Leader: Obama Doesn't Know Business
The head of a Christian business network said President Obama's address at the Chamber of Commerce shows he has little understanding of businesses' economic struggles.
Don Barefoot, president of the Christian business network C12, said Obama's call for businesses to use their reserves to hire workers is misguided. Obama is essentially asking business owners to spend more money in order to fix the economy and lower the jobless rate, he said.
But business owners who are surviving the current economic environment are unlikely to follow the president's advice, he noted.
"People were listening politely, but they weren't buying it," Barefoot told The Christian Post Tuesday.
Obama, in an address Monday, urged the business community to revive the economy by creating more jobs.
"Ask what you can do to hire American workers, to support the American economy, and to invest in this nation," he told the crowd.
Obama advised the chamber members to tap into the $1.69 trillion the nation's businesses have listed on their balance sheets to create positions for Americans struggling to get jobs.
Recent reports show that the percentage of people receiving unemployment money has dropped slightly. However, the nation's unemployment rate still stands at over 9 percent since the beginning of winter last year.
In light of the high unemployment rate, the president has turned his attention to small businesses and jobs. Obama reauthorized a negotiated tax bill last year that included a controversial tax cut for wealthy Americans and business owners. He also added some businessmen to his staff.
Obama replaced former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel with former Chamber of Commerce board member Bill Daley. He also created an economic advisory panel for creating jobs. Jeffrey Immelt, the General Electric chief executive officer, has been named head of the panel.
Despite the president's efforts, Barefoot said Obama "doesn't understand business and wants to regulate business."
The C12 network membership includes about 700 businesses.
Barefoot said many of the C12 member businesses are family-owned. The businesses are largely mid-sized and serve in several industries including marketing, contracting, technology and food service.
The businesses turn to C12 for Christ-centered business advice and fellowship. C12, in turn, offers businesses guidance on servant leadership and how to treat customers with humility while leading a strong business.
Of late, many members have turned to C12 with questions such as "What do you do when the cash flow dries up?" and "How do we survive?"
"Christian businesses are the last businesses to want to fire anybody," stated Barefoot.
These businesses have survived the economic downturn by tightening their cash flow and cutting debt, he said. Barefoot commends those practices as stemming from the Bible.
Christian businesses want to be able to hire, the C12 president said. However, they want to do it in a way that allows them to pay bills and be productive, not just hiring "10 people to do the work of two people."
Barefoot said Christian businesses that survive the economic downturn will likely be the last ones to hire because they don't want to offer potential employees the "false promise" of work.
"If you just keep people on your payroll [for the sake of keeping employees on the payroll], they are not learning," he said.
Barefoot suggests that Obama work on the things that hamper businesses if he wants to help them.
Government regulations, frivolous lawsuits and a tricky tax code are like a storm that is too hard for business owners to navigate through to prosperity, said Barefoot. In particular, he is concerned with government regulations. There is a "logjam" of state and federal regulations that often intersect and conflict with each other, he pointed out.
As a result, business owners are "keeping their heads down" and waiting for it all to blow over.
In his remarks to the Chamber of Commerce, Obama justified regulation by contending it is necessary for food and water.
"Regulations that have to do with health and safety issues … those things are fine," Barefoot agreed.
However, he asserted that the law of supply and demand would work much better if the government would just get out of the way.

Write the book. I'd buy it. As long as you keep it offensive
Like all people with a development background, if I could avoid sales and marketing outright and still make money, I would do so in a heartbeat.But it doesn't work that way.
One thing I'd like to see is research of various agencies/services that will promote and market my software product for me.
I'm an indie dev. I'd gladly pay someone else to did this shit so I can focus on making the product better for the customer. Well, as long as it's an affordable service. Does such a thing even exist?
This type of service should gain an understanding of the basics of my product: who is the target market, what it can do for the target market, and why it has any value for the target market. Maybe I fill out a form with this info, or we have a conference call. Then they handle the stuff like:
If that's too much to ask, I'd be content with this service simply doing the research and monitoring most of the above list, without doing any replies/posts/actions, and simply providing me with the info.
Most companies hire someone to manually do this right? "Marketer", "Growth Hacker", whatever. I can't afford to hire an employee, and I don't want the permanence, nor the revenue sharing, of bringing on a non-technical co-founder.
I just googled "reviews of software marketing agencies" and most didn't really fit the above, or wanted $100-$200/hr. Per hour. No thanks.
So maybe I'm just dreaming here, but seems like something like this could be mostly automated by scraping google.
@timbowhite how much would you pay for a service like that? I run a consulting company that both develops software and helps regular brick-and-mortar businesses with marketing, so I think we'd be well-suited to doing something like what you describe. Our going rate is usually in the $100-200 per hour range as you've found, but (a) you'd be surprised what we can accomplish in an hour and (b) more importantly, there is probably an opportunity for some leverage here. One person monitoring social media for multiple software companies at once shouldn't cost each of them $200/hour
I've never had any luck with outsourcing any marketing. At a certain scale it can probably be done, bootstrapper scale isn't that scale
The people you can afford don't care enough about your product to do the job right because you can't afford to pay them enough to care!
I'm pretty pessimistic on most modern marketing techniques at the bootstrapper level outside of SEO. Much of it can work in certain circumstances, but there's so much noise that unless you have a very unique angle (and likely a unique individual personality) it's hard to make a dent out there.
IMHO most bootstrappers should be focused on some kind of SEO plan and more importantly making sure their apps have an inherent virality. I don't mean viral in the sense of overnight you get thousands of customers, but some manner by which users of your product are exposing your product to other people.
A common example is a 'powered by' link. A 'powered by' link doesn't work in all contexts but that kind of idea. Where your product can be discovered through your customers audience natively as part of the experience of using the app without any extra effort on your customers part.
As long as you keep it offensive
I wouldn't have it any other way
I'm in whole hearted agreement with @Ian in that it's tough out there to break through the noise. SEO, viral loops, and (sort of like viral loops) word of mouth are usually the primary marketing tools in a bootstrapper's toolbox. Why? 1) they're typically "free" to execute (like a puppy dog) and 2) they're not high-touch. When those fail to work, I would say don't hesitate to whip out a direct sales approach. Direct sales can often yield results much faster than passive marketing (but is very high-touch by definition). But what it usually comes down to is a lot of trial and error to find what works for you and your market. Start with the basics and only get more sophisticated/complicated/complex when those fail to yield any results.
I'm also in agreement that paying someone to market and sell your app would make a ton of sense. Unfortunately, that approach almost never works. Usually because you can't afford to pay a dedicated person to do so. And also usually because the majority of marketing agencies tend to be 1) expensive and 2) will only operate on time and material and refuse to be pinned down by any sort of incentive-based compensation or tangible targets.
But don't look at all of this as a bad thing necessarily.
Doing the marketing and selling yourself has actual benefits that pay off.
For starters, you'll get to understand your customers better than anyone else. You'll be able to use insights you have in conversations to guide your product roadmap as well as your marketing plan. And not only that, but at some point when you can afford to hire a junior-level employee, you can teach them the process that you followed (systematizing!) rather than hire an "expert" who knows nothing about your market or customers and just winds up spending a lot of your money while failing to deliver any tangible benefit.
@napoleond my budget is $50-$100/**month**. Obviously that's not enough to pay for someone else to sufficiently interact with social media on my product's behalf.
But I do think that is a fair price for robust, automated monitoring of forums + blogs + social media of anything having to do with my product, my competitor's products, or my target market. Send me a daily summary email of all the chatter that matches my product space. Give me some control of how fine-grained it is. Maybe perform some sentiment analysis on each piece of chatter and categorize it, anything to make it easier to digest. I'm not aware of any services out there that do this well (ie. I have not had much success with Google Alerts simply picking up forum threads or blog comments).
I may have just convinced myself of the next thing I should work on
@ian @cliffordoravec thanks, very helpful info. Sounds like it is far more valuable to just focus on the basics (ie. SEO, virality,discover-ability), and just man up and actually interact with some human beings
Don't knock it until you try it
I think the critical thing is that marketing works best when it gathers info about what the customers want and think, and that only works if it can influence development, both in terms of which features you build and also the User Interface (terminology you use in buttons, etc.)
That's going to require a good working relationship with a lot of trust on both sides.
Also, good marketing takes a long time to show results. And, similar to development, there's a lot of up front work with a very "long tail" of revenue.
So, we are back to trust again. The service they provide may indeed be worth $100 an hour over an "evergreen" period of several years.I.e., lets say that for $20K a consultant:
And lets say that is then fully automated and brings in $4K in new business a month. Business you didn't have before.
That's a 5 month Payback period with probably a 2-3 year lifespan (maybe longer) and an ROI of 1500%
Q: is the issue that you don't know WHAT you should do in terms of marketing, or that you just have zero interest in it?
I think my biggest issue is that there's no guarantee of that $20K plunk-down (from your example) ever paying off. That kind of gamble might be ok for a larger company, but not for most bootstrappers.
nitpick: $4K/month over 3 years = $144000, so w/ initial $20K investment that's 620% ROI, no?
EDIT: nevermind, if that's a compounding $4k, 1500% ROI sounds about right
You are quite right. There are no guarantees, and I wouldn't roll the dice to find out @ $20K.But also, don't make the mistake of an Economist who knows the cost over everything and the value of nothing ;0).
If I were providing such a service (or looking for one) it seems like having some introductory offer as a starting point (and trust builder) for, say $500 (assuming that I have some confidence in this person) to achieve some goal, perhaps with some part of payment contingent on accomplishing that goal in a measurable way.
That's exactly what affiliates do. Have you considered offering an affiliate program for whatever your product is? To find your first affiliates try reaching out to your existing customers. Many payment processors already have the functionality for you, you just need to add some extra js to your website to cookie referrals. Start out at 50% commission. Sounds steep, but the other 50% is money you probably wouldn't have made without the affiliate.
@Clay_Nichols "No" to all those questions because I'm actually launching the product in question this week. I have setup event/goal tracking in Google Analytics so hope to know soon enough.
@shanelabs that might be worth considering, although I'm not aware of any payment processors that offer affiliate program integration for merchants? (well besides CCBill, but they're mainly for porn) I am aware of affiliate networks (Commission Junction, Shareasale, etc) - they help to onboard new affiliates and manage the payouts, but of course they take an additional cut. The other options are buying software like Post Affiliate Pro or rolling your own - but that means means you have to spend time paying out affiliates, and protecting yourself from fraud (ie. cookie stuffing, affiliates competing with you on Adsense, redirects from typo domains, etc).
fastspring have the option for affiliate payout. The issue is to get "trusted" affiliates.
I find it very hard to accept that estimate that even very good inbound content has that kind of lifespan.
That is where your scenario falls down for me - I would want to see some very compelling examples of such work which had remained a good source of inbound attraction for that period.
I am not a marketer. Whilst I have my own, currently small startup, I have also had a day job at Realm for the last 18 months and watched their superb content marketing machine in operation. They give away, and now sell, developer tools and put a vast amount of effort into content generation. That gives me a level for the gold standard both in cost, effort and continual engagement. I really struggle to compare that with the one shot $20K engagement.
In particular, content marketing has been accelerating for the last few years to the point where we are utterly drowning in content. Without a continual, adaptive strategy, how can any business keep up?
An example of content that still delivers after 16 years: The Joel Test. I suspect this single article has delivered a ton of traffic and visibility.
I'm currently adding a "poker statistics guide" to my website (for my poker analytics software) which I'm hoping will deliver good traffic for years. Some fields just don't change that quickly.
This is a great idea. It really fits the bill of "evergreen" content. Not only that, but I can see this having high "shareability" attributes. Nice idea!
You are right. It is hard to believe. There is a lot of content out there. But good writing is rare. And the more poor content there is, the more your gold content rises to the top.
Yep, it would definitely be hard to know in advance that an article will last 2-3 years. And it takes some expertise to find the right topic and write a good article that humans will find useful. That article needs.
I'm in the top 5, 6 years laterThe way I discovered this myself is I saw that we get a lot of (accidental) traffic for "how to fix my windows microphone". I looked and we (Bungalow Software) are in the top 5, for this article I wrote 6+ years ago.
But there was a problem with this article. Can you guess what it is?
The problem is that this article isn't the right kind of traffic for us. We make speech therapy software. The Mic page was just a FAQ for our users. But that traffic is incredibly untargeted. If we're lucky .001% of those folks are interested in speech therapy software. So I did a little experiment. I spent a few hours doing keyword research and wrote an article on a therapy technique. We are #1 for searches on that topic and it's converting at about 1% to free trial signups. (A bit too early to tell how many paid signups that will generate. (It's generating as many free signups/month as would cost us $200 via adwords). (And past conversion calculations show that we at least breakeven on Adwords traffic.
But my article is soo much better than anything out there that I'm confident it will stay highly ranked for a long time.So it'll be interesting to see how it does.
Caveat:I recently updated that article and spent wayyyy too much time on the graphics, etc. But I enjoyed it. Total time invested on that page is probably 15 to 20 hours. BUT.... if it has a life of 5 years then that's $200 x 12 x 5=$12K.
You almost need to engineer/design the articles. A bit of up front effort could really increase the Benefit/Cost ratio. The mic article took me maybe 2 or 3 hours to write. Much less than the new article.
I apologize for (deliberately) being vague on the ROI on the new page I created. I don't want to provide a competitor with too much information. (We have a VC funded competitor to the tune of $4M or so).
The Tipping EffectIf you have the #1 spot for a topic, you get a huge "tipping effect". The longer your article is around, the higher google tends to rank it. So, if you can keep that #1 rank for 6 months or so, i'd suspect you can easily keep it a lot longer (especially if you do a small tweak to it ever now and then).
See what our own Patrick McKenzie wrote about evergreen content
Takeaways1. Content must be very specifically target to your market niche, and complement your marketing. 2. The content must be the best (as rated by humans) on the topic. It should be the canonical article on the topic.3. Topic should be evergreen. Don't write about the latest headline. Write something timeless. Like, How to fix your microphone or How to measure the quality of your software work enviroment
Do you think that Realm's content marketing (every article) meets these criteria?
Ties in to their marketing. (I.e., the article naturally leads users to what they are selling. eg., my Mic article would be GREAT for someone selling tech support services, but not for someone selling mics or speech therapy software. BTW, Dan Norris is the one I stole that idea from in (Content Machine). He is extremely strategic about his topics.
Evergreen - solves a problem/question that users will have for many years to come.
Is the canonical source for the above problem/question. Is clearly the best resource for humans (solves their problem.)
BTW, the above are actually not a lot of work. (For my new article it was probably 30% of the total effort). But it is by far the most important.
Where you aim is far more important than how often you shoot or the caliber of your bullet!
Have you read Content Machine by Dan Norris?
Did you do any research on competing articles on poker stats?
I kinda view content like a product:

Sydney: Australias cricketers have reportedly told their national board they do not want to play in a one-day tournament in northern Africa scheduled for later this year.
According to a report in Sydneys Daily Telegraph on Wednesday, the players have informed the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) that they were prepared to forfeit up to Aus $30,000 ($20,000) a man to pull out of the tournament, to be held in Morocco in September.
Australian Cricketers Association chief executive Tim May told the newspaper that the players wanted out of the tour because of fears about their heavy workload and security.
Our concerns are two-fold, the first is the volume of cricket, May said. There is a significant resistance from the volume of players in terms of their workload. Those concerns are mirrored very strongly by the ACA.
The second one is security in the wake of the most recent terrorist attacks which certainly concern us.
Australias cricketers, currently on tour in West Indies, have been playing virtually non-stop since November last year.
They will have a short break when they return home next month before starting their preparations for the historic home series with Bangladesh in July and August and were hoping to have another rest in September before the start of another hectic summer.
They are also reportedly concerned about security issues in Morocco after 43 people were killed by a series of bomb blasts in Casablanca earlier this month.
Darwins debut
Meanwhile, Darwins Marrara Oval on Wednesday received formal approval ahead of Julys first-ever Test between Australia and Bangladesh, adds a report from Darwin. The ACB said the ground had received official International Cricket Council accreditation ahead of the tour in July and August.
The Marrara Oval will host international matches for the first time when Australia plays Bangladesh in a Test from July 18 to 22 and one-day International on August 6.
The North Queensland city of Cairns will host the Second Test and two other one-day games.
July 18-22: First Test at Marrara Oval in Darwin; July 25-29: Second Test at Bundaberg Rum Stadium in Cairns; August 2: First ODI in Cairns; August 3: Second ODI in Cairns; August 6: Third ODI in Darwin.

As a parent, you're always on the lookout for ways to keep your children happy, safe, and healthy. But when they're diagnosed with diabetes, the importance of keeping them healthy seems even greater. It's no longer just a question of making sure they get enough vitamins and are minding their manners and getting good grades, and it's natural to feel the need to keep a close watch on them. The reality is, however, that with their daily activities keeping them busy and your own schedule taking up so much attention, it's not possible to keep constantly on guard. With that in mind, you need to learn ways as a family to stay healthy so that the daily task of managing your child's diabetes is easier and less stressful – whether they're at home, at school, or at play.
Managing your child's diabetes will not only require keeping their insulin levels regulated but also making sure that they eat the proper foods and are being active enough. The danger zone looms when children don't take their medications or don't follow their prescribed meal plan, which can throw their medications out of balance. Other problems can occur when they exercise too little or too much without making proper adjustments to their diabetic plan, don't check their blood sugar levels frequently enough, or have been stressed out or sick.
Managing your child's diabetes will require a cooperative effort. They need to understand the condition just as much as you do, so you'll need to keep them a part of things. Discuss things like their medications, the foods that they eat, and the exercise they get as well as the warning signs they need to be able to recognize so that they can stay safe and healthy. The rest of your family, your children's teachers and caregivers, and their friends' parents should also be aware of their diagnosis; so make sure that they are given proper information on what your child's needs are.
Managing things can be simple once everyone understands what's going on; and in addition to talking with your child's doctor, it can be helpful to talk to a health expert who can really work closely with you to develop a plan that you and your child feel comfortable with. They – and you – need to know that regular life can still go on and that the adjustments that need to be made don't have to be restrictive of fun.
Don't let diabetes play with your child's health! Schedule a complimentary Ask Everwell consultation at Everwell Specialty Pharmacy to learn effective ways to manage your child's diabetes and shop our extensive line of health products today!

Super thanks to Stepanie for doing the translation of this news on her blog and sharing with us.
When Hyun Joong visited Kyu Jong at the practice room of 'Goong' it has became a news. After weeks that it's been known a show from KBS2 show the visit of Hyun Joong on TV. I am still looking for the video, while looking for it, here's the article related to the visit.
[News] Kim KyuJong 'Good Drinking Capacity? Learned From HyunJoong, Really Vigorous'

English translation: Stephanie (@5StarsAs1/ www.i-kpoplovers.blogspot.com or at www.4dleaderever.blogspot.com
Please leave the credits remain intact when repost. TQ! :)
Singer-actor Kim KyuJong & Kim HyunJoong showed off their friendships once again.
On 15th of September in the broadcast of KBS 2TV 'Yeoyoomanman', Kim KyuJong, Song ByeongJun, and Kim HyunJoong reunite once again, and story about Kim HyunJoong & his drinking capacity was revealed by Kim KyuJong.
On that day, Kim HyunJoong made a surprise visit to Kim KyuJong & director Song Byeongjun during the musical 'Goong' rehearsal. As Kim KyuJong is a member of SS501 too, and Song ByeongJun was the producer for the KBS2 'Boys Over Flowers', thus the friendship bonds were developed between them with Kim HyunJoong.
Regarding Kim HyunJoong's surprise visit to the rehearsal room, Song Byeongjun said, 'It seemed like KyuJong was even surprised that I am'. So, Kim HyunJoong jokingly said, 'Actually, that's not true. Sometimes, KyuJong looked as if he just had soju. He have a good drinking capacity'.
Kim KyuJong replied, 'After I grew up to become an adult, I learned to drink for the first time from HyunJoong, really vigorous'. At the same time during Kim HyunJoong's vigorous 'alchohol training', you can predict how good is he in drinking too. Kim HyunJoong said, 'When I was young, I thought it's good to eat a lot, but I'm thinking otherwise now'.
Furthermore, Kim KyuJong who are challenging the musical industry recently was asked whether 'Is there a big help from Kim HyunJoong as a sunbae(senior) in acting?' and so he answered, 'What really had helped me was how serious Kim HyunJoong looked when he was reading the script or practicing during his drama shooting, it really had left me with a deep impression and it seems like it have become a friendly competition between us' which garnered many attentions.
Here's the video from the show courtesy of no1KimHyunJoong YT channel.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture. Their name comes from having lived in one of the settlements called Hazelhurst in Lancashire, Surrey, or Sussex, or near any woodland noted for its hazel trees. Thus, the surname Haselhurst belongs to both the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads, and to the class of topographic surnames, which were given to people who resided near physical features such as hills, streams, churches, or types of trees.
Haselhurst Early Origins
Cheshire where they held a family seat both before and after the Norman Conquest in the year 1066.
Haselhurst Spelling Variations
Haselhurst Spelling Variations
Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Haselhurst has undergone many spelling variations, including Hazelhurst, Haselhurst, Hazlehurst, Haslehurst and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Haselhurst were among those contributors: Cuthbert Hayhurst settled in Pennsylvania in 1682 with his wife Mary and six children; Jane Hazelhurst settled with her husband and three children in Philadelphia in 1822.

Boston, MA (PressExposure) May 12, 2011 -- Northeastern University College of Business Administration (CBA), a world leader in practice-based education, today announced that IBM has awarded scholarships for the College's online Master in Business Administration (MBA) program to 12 employees based in the Philippine Islands.
The scholarships are part of a global educational initiative by IBM that is targeted at professionals working in its Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) unit, IBM Global Process Services (IBM GPS). The opportunity will provide the participants with a solid foundation in all areas of business enterprise from the fundamentals of operations, finance and marketing, to strategic planning. Emphasis is placed on globalization and enterprise growth taught through case studies enhanced by insights of program faculty with real-world experience.
Northeastern University College of Business Administration's Dean Harry Lane remarked, "The Philippine Islands is the third country in which our online MBA has been launched with IBM Global Process Services. Supporting IBM's talent development objectives in this way is an important strategic activity for the College and reinforces our commitment to preparing students for success in the global environment."
The two-year MBA program is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Renowned for experiential education, the program combines e-learning best practices with state-of-the-art technology that enhances the educational experience.
IBM scholars will complete 17 courses using online course materials such as videos, presentations, simulations, individual and team assignments, case discussions and exams.
