Online advertising earnings
Here are the details of my online advertising earnings and website traffic for March 2011 in the hope that they help to either initiate or increase your own additional income stream.
March 2011 advertising income
Amazon Associates: $200.58
InfluAds: $1,428.00
Total: $1,628.58 (£1,000.86 GBP)
Amazon Associates
I've already talked about the commission cheques I receive for helping designers look sharp.
After installation of the InfluAds code (broken link removed in 2014) in the sidebar of my three blogs, a performance-based payment is received via PayPal after each month of serving ads. If I see an advertiser that I don't want to associate myself with, I have the option to block the banner from the within the publisher section of the InfluAds site (that hasn't been necessary).
My agreement with InfluAds was that I'd receive $1,400 per month. But due to a better-than-predicted performance during March (i.e., higher traffic, more click-throughs) I was paid a little more.
You're probably wondering how much web traffic is needed. Here are my stats from March 01-31.
Stats courtesy of Google Analytics.
What does that mean?
Perhaps the most important figure is the number of Pageviews (also known as page impressions). This number shows how many times the banner ad is loaded/viewed within the month.
davidairey.com = 502,788
logodesignlove.com = 545,496
identitydesigned.com = 100,561
So during March those three websites attracted a total of 1,148,845 Pageviews.
By dividing the Pageviews by the payment we can see what return was made for a range of stats.
1,148,845/$1,428 = 804
Meaning that for every 804 Pageviews generated I earned $1.
So to earn $10 I needed to attract 8,040 monthly Pageviews.
$1 = 804 monthly Pageviews
$10 = 8,040
$100 = 80,400
$1,000 = 804,000
$10,000 = 8,040,000
To put it another way, and to give you a clearer picture of what you might be earning with InfluAds, for every 10,000 Pageviews received in March, I earned $12.44.
1,000 monthly Pageviews = $1.24
10,000 = $12.24
100,000 = $122.40
1,000,000 = $1,224.00
10,000,000 = $12,240.00
It's probably not quite as straightforward — the number of clicks on each ad are also likely to be a factor — but it gives you something to relate to.
Your online revenue streams
I've no idea how my ratio of income/stats compares to others. What ads are you featuring to make money online? Are there any types you'd avoid?

Kudos to you David for being so transparent! Curious what kind of focus you have to improve your time on site as your traffic continues to grow?
That's fantastic, thanks for sharing. Are you happy with this income considering the time and money you spend on the sites?
My traffic is tiny compared to yours. So very tiny. Last month I made a whopping £4.72 from my Amazon links (on my rather messy Bookshelf page … the exact purpose/usefulness of which has yet to present itself). At my current traffic level, any other forms of advertising would be more trouble than it's worth!
Hey David,
Thanks for sharing this with us, will you please explane how we can increase our site/blog traffic and if we dont have enough traffic to our site than is these sites you have mentioned above is useful or not?
Thanks for sharing the stats david. Will go and do my own number crunching now!
I've not given it much thought, Ron. I suppose my previous WordPress theme prompted people to stick around a bit longer, due to the double sidebars and more spots to click (or maybe that increased the Pageviews), but I'm much happier with how my site looks at the minute.
Russ, my main goal has always been to use my sites for attracting new design clients, so anything I can earn on top of that is a bonus. Things are going well client-wise, and I have plans to improve that side of things.
There's one aspect in particular that I love about your bookshelf, Daniel. :) A tip to increase your Associates income is to offer links to the .com as well as the .co.uk. When comparing stats from the two sites, I don't prompt many sales from the .co.uk.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing this in order to help others.
Obviously this income in no way reflects the time you put into maintaining all three blogs which is a lot of work!
Many people choose not to monetise their blogs at all, instead they use them as a platform to raise their profile or to educate and inform.
Chris Brogan writes about, "How to create a business from a blog" here http://www.chrisbrogan.com/how-to-create-business-from-a-blog/
Vikash, there are many ways to increase traffic, some good, some bad. Ultimately, you need to focus your content on topics you're passionate about, and at the same time, publish information you believe will be of use to others.
Here's an old post from 2007, so it's a little outdated, but some of the mistakes I made back then are still worth avoiding today:
Bernadette, that's a good point worth repeating: You don't need to make money from blog advertising in order to run a hugely successful blog. My additional income is only a recent occurrence, and I started publishing posts in 2006. My advice is that if you're thinking of starting a blog to make money through advertising, don't.
Thanks for sharing this, David.
I've been thinking about introducing unobtrusive ads on my website.
I have turned down all offers that have hitherto come my way but times are tough and I figure it's only fair to want to have a little more stability.
The fact that you did this in such an open way makes it much more acceptable, kudos for that.
After all we're only in it for the money to a certain extent.
I saw InlfuAds on Dribbble.com for first time, looks like they take lot of care about choosing their publishers. Also the advertising is just a tiny banner, not too intrusive.
I think they are doing good and you too for not overloading your blog with advertising. Certainly you could duplicate the income.
Good point about the .com / .co.uk issue. I've been using the Amazon module in Squarespace, and it's just a tad limited in what you can do with it. The quality of the pictures pulled in from Amazon is shockingly varied. Time to roll my sleeves up and do some manual tinkering methinks …
Pretty incidental to this particular discussion, but just wondered if you have ever considered expanding by taking on other design staff or starting your own studio? Or have you chosen to stay freelance by yourself to maintain full control?
No probs, Andrea. I don't think there's anything wrong with using your website to pull in a few extra pounds, as long as your advertising doesn't overwhelm people and detract from the content.
Thanks, Sergio, for your chat here and on my previous post, too.
Daniel, I originally planned to integrate my aStore with my site, placing it within my own theme design, but in the end I just plumped for the standard aStore layout, which is much easier to organise. Good luck with yours.
Hm, I've thought about hiring help, and who knows what might happen in future, but for now, I'm happy working from home.
Really interesting insight David. I normally only see such stats on sites such as ProBlogger, and as we bloggers are obsessed with such figures, it was quite amazing to see yours.
I was wondering what ever happened to your use of Adpacks? Did InfluAds fit in better with your site?
In regards to the amount/payment you receive from InfluAds, doesn't the amount depend on both impressions and CTR (so the amount you get fluctuates in regard to site traffic)? I'm with Carbon now, and this is the way they work — I was just wondering if InfluAds had the same kind of setup.
I was also very surprised to see that your BounceRate is at 81% for this URL. Did you notice this go up after stripping down your blog to just one column?
Until a few month back, my BounceRate was about 45%, but since I've had a fair amount of traffic from StumbleUpon, this added to my BounceRate. This is understandable since Stumblers are out to get quick snapshot content, not searching through individual URLs. Is STumbleUpon a good source of traffic for you too, or is it mainly organic?
It's great to see how many pageviews you're getting — you're reaping the rewards of tireless blogging no doubt. I assume you're also getting decent traffic from many of your older articles, too. It would be great to see a breakdown of this in the future. Maybe??
Thanks for sharing your traffic info – it's quite, awe-inspiring!
Hi Andrew, AdPacks didn't place the same value on the ad space as I did, so we discontinued our partnership. When I mentioned my decision on Twitter, Anibal from InfluAds got back in touch about partnering with his company (we'd been in contact prior to my agreement with AdPacks). I like his plans, and it'll be interesting to see how they pan-out.
We hadn't agreed on a fluctuating figure, hence why I offered to refund the difference. But you're right — performance indicates the amount.
Having just checked, the bounce-rate here for March 2010 was 69%. March 2009 was 63%, and 2008 was 60. So I think the theme design plays a big part given how I've been gradually streamlining the look.
As for traffic sources, I might publish a post evaluating them, but for a quick snapshot: search engines = 45%, referring sites = 30%, direct traffic = 20%. Only 1.7% of my traffic is from StumbleUpon, but from those visits, the bounce-rate is unsurprisingly 90%.
Vanessa, you're very welcome.
Oh, right. Makes sense that you stayed clear of AdPacks then.
Its interesting to compare results; both my search and referring sites traffic stand at 42%; SU at 16%.
A surprising result is that the Hello Bar loads as a separate page within the stats, which then returns a bounce rate of 100%. Interesting…
I used to always wonder how much popular blogs like yours bring extra cash in. There are so many successful blogs out there but I rarely see bloggers that share information like this. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your earnings and traffic.
I have a small design blog which I started in January after 20 years of design and running my own business. It's been a lot of fun connecting with people all over the place who are passionate about design. I don't do any advertising except for a my blog theme which I only do because I like the theme and the guy that made it.
This is a bit of a 'secret sauce' question – given your large traffic, when was the moment that you saw a large increase in your traffic and what would you put it down to? As I said its a secret sauce kinda question and you may not even know why, I just thought I would ask.
Andrew, I had to revisit your site to find the "Hello Bar." I'm curious if you're able to track its usefulness.
Steve, there's nothing secret about it — I don't think there was one single moment when traffic increased, but rather a steady climb over the years. The lesson being that a relatively successful blog needs a significant investment of time.
Thank you for this! I hate when people try to help via "hide the ball" method but your transparency is definitely appreciated. It really helps me understand how this stuff works.
Impressive visitor stats David – how on earth did you manage to get such high traffic. Interesting how the three sites do differ in traffic volumes – are they all different ages?
Thanks David!
Great for you to share your analyics numbers with us all – it really helps to wrap my head around a basic understanding of vistors to customers.
As you said – I'm sure there's a lot more to it than this but a fantastic framework.
How do you keep that kind of traffic going to your website?
Five years of consistent, (fairly) relevant content creation.
This is first time when I see someone share this kind of information with visitors. I highly appreciate it. Thanks for sharing it. Dan – Romania
Thanks David, I really appreciate you revealing this kind of information. I've always wondered what kind of traffic you've managed to achieve in five years and although adverts aren't really something I want to do it has helped me to understand the rough arithmetic and the potential of my own blog.
You're very welcome, Richard. Advertising wasn't of interest when I started, and I think that helped me focus in some respects.
Hi David,
Thanks for sharing some of your stats, they look good.
I was wondering if you could share any tips on what are your top sources of traffic.
I am really curious with the great amounts of traffic you receive.
Best Regards,
Hi David
Have you got an update on this? It would be interesting to know if the amount has increased along with your pageviews etc.
Excuse the late reply, Evan. I checked sources for the past 30 days, and 54% was from search, 27% referral, the remainder direct. No surprise that the biggest referrer was logodesignlove.com.
Chris, I don't, but generally things are quite similar.
I think 2011 was a quite good time for influads publishers. Nice stats we can see.
I've noticed that I've got a sharp drop in my earnings the last three months. For instance, this month with over 100 000 impressions and 0.80% CTR I've earned just 20$ and I feel a little bit disappointed about that.
Hope we can expect more competitive rates within the next month. :)
Anything to add?
Comments may be edited or deleted if I don't like the cut of your jib, but that's quite unlikely.

Happy 75th Social Security!
Seventy five years ago, FDR signed Social Security into law. Some Americans were apprehensive because of reasons similar to our current health care reform arguments. FDR, like several before him and many after (both Republicans and Democrats) unsuccessfully attempted to pass a national healthcare package.
Whenever I enter a senior housing facility, I know that the few dollars taken out of my check is well spent. Americans have an obligation to help take care of our senior citizens. These brave men and women are the Golden Generation that fought for the preservation of freedom not only here at home, but on the beaches of Normandy, in the fields of Korea, and more recently in Vietnam.
Today as we commemorate the start of Social Security, it seems that our old friend is going through some of the same financial woes everyday Americans are facing. My conservative friends bring up the great debate of whether Social Security will be available for our generation after we have paid into the system. They say that individuals should invest in a safety net for the golden years. I can agree that people should invest in personal accounts and plan for retirement so that they may live the dream of traveling, spending time with family or whatever it is that they have been daydreaming about while working for the last 30 or more years.
However, it is very important to think about friends and family members that live in subsidized senior housing and survive on, as low as, a whopping $300 a month. These are the same people that split prescription pills in half, foregoing needed medications, and wear the same clothes that were in their closet the day of their retirement party. These proud and noble seniors never complain while teaching the younger generation duty, honor, and dignity. All of the while somehow finding that notorious $10 bill to send to each of their grandchildren on their birthdays.
Just think about the medications, cable TV, new bed linens and the like that grandparents are putting off so that you can upgrade to the bigger popcorn or extra value meal after opening that dollar store birthday card that they put so much effort into procuring.
It may very well be that Social Security needs an overhaul. All programs in government and private business have to be reviewed and audited. It makes good fiscal sense and ensures accountability for all individuals involved. It also guarantees that we, as tax payers, are getting the biggest bang for our hard earned taxpayer bucks. It protects the interests of everyone involved. Some say that all government funded programs never work out. To them I ask; don't you think that the military does an excellent job at protecting Americans? I do! I think that they are the best in the world and— the military is a government business. That's right; it is totally funded by taxpayer money. That government program seems to be working rather well.
Everyone seems to have varying estimations of the problem—that is if one exists. Some say in less than 10 years Social Security will be giving out more than taking in, others say that it will take 40 years; others say that it won't dry up at all and this debate is null and void. President Obama's administration is currently taking a look at Social Security and their report is due out late this year. Hopefully this report will identify how we can balance taxes and benefits to a level in which we can all agree. I think that Americans can come together, figure out any problems, and come up with efficient and innovative solutions. This is an important step to showing citizens of all nations how a free nation solves a problem and a reminder to all Americans that our dream still endures.

Oh, Zombie Boy. Perhaps it's the fact that we know our parents would go APE if we took him home, perhaps it's a hangover from always fancying the boy-in-the-band when we were at School, or perhaps it's just that age-old adage that means we always fancy the bad boys. Whatever it is, we've always found ourselves rather drawn to Lady Gaga and Nicola Formichetti's BFF, Zombie Boy, aka Rick Genest.
Well, for a glimpse of what the multo-tattooed one looks like underneath his impressive inkings, Zombie Boy has been signed up by Dermablend, the professional concealer, in a seemingly random but actually quite brilliant pairing.
Dermablend's new ad shows Zombie Boy sitting down in a chair looking tres serious and pouty, but mysteriously un-tatted. He then goes on to remove portions of the concealer in the most manly cleansing routine we've ever seen (see pic 2, above), and the vid then shows how the effect was achieved. (A LOT of makeup artists and pots of concealer, basically.)
So yes. The crucial question here, obviously is this: is the Zomb-tastic one hotter with or without tattoos. Or is Grazia Daily alone in finding him super-foxy?

The Free Lance-Star Photography Department shares the stories behind the photos.
Palin in Fredericksburg
I spent the day with the FLS photo department covering Gov. Sarah Palin's campaign stop in Fredericksburg today. My job, along with another photographer, was to work the crowd that couldn't get in to Hurkamp Park in downtown Fredericksburg. Meanwhile we had three staffers inside the secure area using both still cameras and video to record the event.
I felt like this sort of event, including Sen. Obama's visit a few weeks back, could be handled by two people, but I suppose the more the merrier. The upside is that when it is time to edit for the paper, we have a lot to choose from. Maybe too much!
It seems like the story is almost more about the people who turn out for the rally than it is about the candidate. I suspect this is partly due to the scripted nature of political campaigns and the fact that politics tends to get people excited.
Amid thousands of supporters, a dozen or so protesters showed up. I'm not sure what they hoped to accomplish as I get the impression that people who wait for hours to get into a political rally are not exactly undecided and therefore not likely to be swayed by their posters and chants. Of course it is their right to assemble and say their piece and worth recording. I include this picture not because it is any good but to put their presence in perspective. If i had used a telephoto lens, it could have suggested a much larger and/or disruptive presence of which it was neither. While it is important to document the protest, it is equally important to reflect reality.
As I said earlier, we had a lot of pictures to edit and the photographers as well as the page designers gathered to make their choices. We spread out our selects in a conference room and talked over how the pictures would play on the front and jump pages, how they would play off of each other and what worked well. Once we had a loose plan, the photographers captioned and filed photos for both print and web while the designers worked on their pages. Meanwhile our multimedia editor put together a slideshow of still images and a video of the rally. All in all, I felt like we put out a solid report today. Check out the slide show here.

Review this tv show
Jan 27, 2014I waited a few months before watching this and I ended up watching the whole 11 episodes in 2 days. This is amazing, the beginning is calm and shows the characters off, but then without warning hits you. The show has so many quick turning points and in the final few episodes the whole thing just explodes. Absolutely amazing show. The final episode ends at a really unusual point and makes you think that there is a second season to be filmed. There are so many things that happen in the show that some people may miss and is definitely worth a second watch to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. 10/10… Expand
Sep 26, 2013While the beginning was really boring, and I did not have much expectations for this show, as the season progressed it gradually got more interesting, and I kind of started to like it. It is kind of like Lost, just less well written and with worse acting, but nevertheless fun to watch.
Sep 18, 2013I For one find the show to have a great spin and a funny satire to the idea of reality shows. Though it attracted a crowd of mind numbing reality show zombies who like to watch something that is intended for dull entertainment. I found that if the show was placed as being what it turned into with the marketing sceme than people of above intelligence woud have enjoyed and given it a higher score. i loved the show the acting is far better than some of the BS that is out there today. Also on that note if you don't like a show don't bother writting a review. just don't watch the show. Stop ruining tv for the rest of it im sure there are plenty of braincells left up there to change the channel. Heres to hoping for a season 2.… Expand
Sep 17, 2013That's the best TV show of this summer season! Just AWESOME!
That finale make me, like WOW!
It's just suspenseful, thrilling, surprising, exciting, and... much more!
Sep 6, 2013At start this would look like a terrible reality-show, but it gets A LOT better after snow coming. Just give it time and do not read the most negative reviews. Apparently they didn't watch this more than 2-3 episodes. (Or even one.)
Sep 5, 2013The best summer series of the year. Everyone SHOULD watch Siberia and i mean it. This show is not what you think it is at first sight and you'll have to wait the entire season to find out what happened on this island.
Sep 4, 2013Watched every episode so far, and I really love this show. Love the build up, love the mystique and horror, love the characters. Love everything. I can't wait to see more! However, I really hope that it's either renewed for a season 2, or given a good ending which ties up every question we have. I don't want another The River.
Aug 22, 2013please watch this show! it got me hooked from the minute it started. Most people complain about the acting (which isn't even that bad) and how its set up like a reality show even though its scripted. but to be honest this is my favorite show at the moment and is really exiting and full of drama. if you like shows like "Lost" I definitely recommend watching SIberia for a fun and intense show.
Aug 20, 2013Highly underrated; far more enjoyable than Under the Dome, Fallen Skies, etc. when it comes to creativity and believability (as in believability within a fantasy/sci-fi/horror environment). I think too many jumped the gun and went off of the first episode or two rather than giving the show a chance. I usually prefer to watch television series after the fact rather than waiting week by week for the next episode. The fact that I'm sticking with it evidences how good I think it is. Is it the greatest show ever? No way. But is it entertaining, creative, and increasingly improving? Definitely. This show has real potential.… Expand
Aug 20, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is by far the worst show I have ever seen. its actually laughably bad. the acting is horrendous. honestly, I think they just sat at a cafe and asked whoever walked by if they wanted a spot on this show. I'm not sure if this is scripted or improv, but whoever is coming up with the stupid lines needs to be locked up so as never to taint the world with such stupidity ever again. I've seen the first 4 episodes (just kept telling myself it was bound to get better), so I think I've seen enough to form a valid opinion on the show.
To specify one specific incident that made me actually have to pause the show to complain to my viewing partners. the girls come out of their cabin to find someone had left spear there with a note with some cliche "spooky" warning like "leave now" or something similar. so they freak out and the boys come over and they stand around it getting scared and someone honestly says "we're the only people here... aren't we?"
I mean come the on. no. the idea is that these people are on a reality show competing for a large cash prize and trying to get one another to leave the game. being in that situation and knowing this, would your first assumption really be that there must be other people living in siberia, waiting in the forest to kill you if you don't leave?
And then there was another moment in a previous episode. a girl eats wild mushrooms and gets incredibly ill and starts hallucinating. then when she recovers, she willing takes herself out of a game for half a million dollars, because she had a vision that the sky catches on fire and everyone there gets killed. seriously? yes. we should all totally base life changing decision on visions we have when we're high. good life strategy.
This show tries way too hard to be shocking and it just ends up being too unrealistic. If this show were just about a Survivor type game show gone totally wrong and one of the contestants goes crazy and just starts killing people... that'd be cool. but with all the supernatural elements mixed with the acting skills of a fish, Siberia is just garbage, and I would never recommend it to even my worst enemies.… Expand
Aug 15, 2013My earlier opinions of this show were hasty. It's really starting to pick up, and what I thought was going to turn into a terrifyingly bad trainwreck actually saved itself through smart reveals of necessary exposition of the threats the contestants face.
It's quickly getting into LOST territory, but in some ways, it's even smarter than that- instead of hiding behind illusions and lies and omission in the maddening JJ Abrams fashion that turns suspense into frustration, the show knows when to drop the plot-bombs and when to pick up on the portrayal of emotions. It's quite nice.
Sure, the actors got off to a rough start, and maybe the producers and directors didn't know their exact aim from the start- but now they're in the swing of things, and hopefully it can get even better from here.… Expand
Aug 8, 2013Watched 2 episodes and I gotta say it's rather crap. I expected something much more compelling, More of a drama then a pathetic reality show. Weak acting as well. Very disappointed because there was some potential here.
Jul 30, 2013Siberia is probably the most fake, poorly acted, and poorly written show, I have ever had the misfortune to watch. Half the time i was watching it, I would bust out laughing at how ridiculously terrible it was. Maybe they should have branded it as a comedy.
Jul 30, 2013So bad that you will want to see more of it.
The acting is terrible, the plot is laughable and the lack of realism is outstanding. If you suspend your logic for a minute you will get a decent mystery thriller... otherwise you can joke about the disaster that's unfolding before your eyes.
Jul 28, 2013Maddeningly bad. It's tries to base this as a reality-slash-survival show so NBC can capitalize on the "Hunger Games"-like following of survival of the fittest, but when you realize it's a group of unknown (for a reason), talentless actors with a terrible script and all of the action happens off-camera which is how a network can get away with showing gruesome deaths on "live TV" it adds up to terrible television. This is an obvious attempt to compete with edgy original content going on better cable channels (AMC, F/X), but this is nothing more than a desperate attempt at fanfare that won't last past 12 episodes. Don't waste your time. Hilarious that they're in Siberia (Russia) and not a Russian anywhere in sight closest they got is some DJ from Montenegro.… Expand
Jul 22, 2013My husband and I started watching this show by accident the first night it aired. Ever since it has been a little bit like Jerry Springer, in that it's so bad you can't help but watch it out of curiosity. Having known nothing about the show originally we thought it was a real reality show, until throughout the first episode it became very clear that it wasn't. It was so unrealistic it was almost comical. In fact, I think this concept would have been better had they just made it a comedy/parody. I think the intent was to make this "fake" reality show a thriller, such as the Blair Witch project, which was thought to be real by most viewers which added to the fear element. However in knowing that Siberia is not real, it lost the thrill element for me. The actors are terrible actors, even worse than your daytime soap stars. I would describe this as a bad version of a soap and a reality show and would not recommend wasting anymore time on this one. Fortunately, I do not see this show being aired for long.… Expand
Jul 15, 2013This show is a bunch of people arguing about foot rations, and some wrird happening once or twice an episode. this show is not worth your time, trust me.
Jul 13, 2013We all know it looks cheesy and unrealistic, but it is supposed to look so. That is why I'm totally grasped by NBC's new television series. The idea of sixteen contestants of a reality show trapped into an unknown forest in the middle of nowhere is really exciting. Supernatural forces in a place where a real meteor has crashed back in 1908 sums up to the thriller and the fact that actors and contenders share their real names brings up a whole Blair Witch vibe to it!… Collapse
Jul 11, 2013Great. This show is such a great thriller. I love the writing and the acting. It's so addicting. This is probably one of my new favorite shows. I cant' wait for more.
Jul 10, 2013As boring as a reality show. The mystery plot is almost nonexistent. The characters are so obnoxious as real contestants. In the worst I've seen this year.
The well-trod format of Siberia may be its biggest asset, quickly building the kind of sturdy perimeters that horror so often needs; real fear emerges when the familiar and predictable become shockingly distorted (is any ghost as scary as a child ghost?).
The reality show has become a nightmare, which isn't a terrible premise. But setting it in the woods and turning the contestants into prey for some malevolent force harks back more to "Friday the 13th" than to "Survivor." This wouldn't be as noticeable if Siberia leavened the whole thing with dark humor.
Siberia can be pretty annoying with the shaky single-camera and fake reality premise and all--but then it picks up in the last ten minutes when things go horribly wrong and the best character in the bunch gets killed off.

HARRISONBURG -- Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner are pushing to renew an act to protect all women against domestic violence, called the Violence against Women Act. The bill could pass in the Senate by the end of the week.
Supporters say the act should protect all women, including minority groups, like Native Americans and lesbians.
Candy Phillips is the director of First Step, an emergency shelter for victims of domestic abuse and their children. She hopes lawmakers will support this act to help even more people.
"I think that this is important so that people understand that barriers that they felt like were there for them are lifted. They have a voice, they have protection, they can get assistance," said Phillips.
The original Act against Violence expired in 2011, so this act would be an expansion and extension of that law.

$150 Silver & An Ocean Of Paper Money To Flood The System
Today acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb told King World News, "There is no doubt that the Fed is going to print hundreds of billions of additional dollars." Leeb also said, "They (the Fed) will have created multiple trillions of dollars and it won't stop." Leeb also said that in this environment, "... silver is easily going to $150."
But first, here is what Leeb had to say about the situation in Europe: "I think the German high court decision was expected. It won't have any effect on Europe's ability to reflate. Bond purchases will take place, and Europeans now recognize they are all interrelated. If something happens to any of those big economies, Spain, Italy, etc., they all go down."
Stephen Leeb continues:
"That's a big deal, Eric. That's the big takeaway from the last couple of months. Europe, they are going to be creating a great deal of money. The implications for precious metals, gold, etc., are very, very positive. They've printed a ton of euros already, but guess what? The euro today, at 1.29, is higher by about 5% vs its average since the beginning of the century.
This is with Europe experiencing tremendous problems. Now what does that say about the US dollar? It says that it's a terrible currency....
Continue reading the Stephen Leeb interview below...
To hear which company has one of the highest grade gold deposits
in the entire world, as well as a number of other
extraordinary projects click on the logo:
"If our currency is underperforming the euro, it means there aren't any other (paper) currencies you can turn to. And if there are no paper currencies you can turn to, you have to turn to gold.
I don't know if gold is going to shoot up to $2,000 in the next month, but I know that the direction over the next several years is going to be dramatically higher. The bottom line here is that the dollar has underperformed the euro, even with all of the problems Europe faces, and that does not bode well for the future.
There are very serious reasons why the dollar has underperformed. Data released today showed that median incomes in the US have fallen about 10%, and median income for the middle class have probably fallen by about 12% to 13%. Almost 50 million people in the US are now on food stamps.
So the Fed is forced to print more money, and the more they print, the stronger the case for the precious metals becomes. Also, I keep bringing up the junior gold shares, but I believe they have already started what will be one of the greatest, if no the greatest bull market of our lifetimes. I also think silver is easily going to $150.
Circling back to Europe, their money printing is only going to accelerate. So you will start to see higher commodity prices impacting overall inflation rates. As that begins to unfold, you will really see the bull markets in the gold and silver bull markets accelerate.
Investors should ask themselves, how much do I have to invest in gold, silver, and the quality junior gold and silver shares, so that I can cover up all of the other investment mistakes I might make? And to make sure I have plenty left over if inflation does go to 10% or 15% per year. That is the question all investors should pose to themselves at this point."
Leeb also added: "There is no doubt that the Fed is going to print hundreds of billions of additional dollars. A hundred billion dollars here and there and before you know it you have $1 trillion. They will have created multiple trillions of dollars and it won't stop. And Investors should understand that it's going to continue."

The ashes of fashion designer Alexander McQueen are to be scattered on the Isle of Skye.
Although born and brought up in East London, Lee felt a strong connection to the birthplace of his father Ronald, and had told his family he wanted the remote island to be his final resting place. As well as his Scottish name, Gaelic themes permeated several of his collections, including 'Highland Rape' and his use of tartan in his pieces.
His father, Ronald, who was born on Skye, and his five siblings will travel to the island in the next few weeks to fulfil his wishes. His brother Michael said: "Alexander was back and forward all over the world, but he felt at home when he was in Scotland"

Ying, is an exclamatory word, used when surprised suddenly by someone, or something. It is never used in a sentence, only as a one word phrase in response to a surprise. Also the sound the guards make in the videogame "Metal Gear Solid 2", when surprised, in it's written word form. Must be said in the same tone as the sound from the game.
"Hey I just totally $%#$ed your girlfriend!"

an exclamitory word. it is used when one randomly sneaks up upon an unsuspecting victim, preceded by violently screaming "YING!" in their ear, thereby scaring the shit out of them.

My dear friends Kaitlyn and Ryan are quite the creative duo and the talent behind the beautiful Corbe' Company. They have launched their first Kickstarter project and I think they would make amazing wedding gifts!
Working with fine porcelain they are crafting all 50 states into baking dishes. Here's the story straight from their mouths:
"We are raising funds to take all 50 of these United States of America and re-create them in fine porcelain. They are made to scale with one another and fit seamlessly with their neighbor to form the entire nation. Their uses are plentiful; baking dish, serving tray, conversation piece, collecting tray, tapas plate, etc. They can act as stand alone state plates, pieced together as regions on your dinner table, or hand picked to be the places that mean the most to you. When we have them all finished we will throw the ultimate dinner party where a great dish from each state will join the spread to create The Fifty United Plates. We've saved you a seat."
Help them out and receive some beautiful goodies, including a state plate of your choice...and 2 more for those upcoming weddings! I guarantee you'll want to move to an island and become a potter. In fact I may need to come back and blog their island wedding last September ;)
Thanks for the comments on my last post, I was happy to see the blog is not dead yet ;)

'Dinosaur Jr.'
Limited edition photo book places J Mascis' tightly run ship in a bottle for fans to examine at leisure
Published: May 7, 2014
by Dinosaur Jr. | 213 pages | Rocket 88
Almost as loud and intriguing as the hardcore-fusion Dinosaur Jr. pioneered is the band's cantankerous origin story, finally told start to finish and authorized by formative members J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. In Dinosaur Jr., a limited-edition coffee table book full of intimate early band photos and anecdotal bickering, fans are introduced to each band member (and other personalities essential to Dinosaur history, including Jon Fetler, Jens Jurgensen and Megan Jasper) and then led through the catalog, from 1985's Dinosaur to 2012's I Bet on Sky.
It's not that these old stories and arguments the book dutifully discusses are newly surfacing – hilarious-in-hindsight jabs thrown over Cookie Monster figurines and SST Records' hold music have long been rehashed – but it's the rollicking commentary between Barlow, Mascis and Murph alongside old show posters and rare photos casually snapped at their homes, in friends' houses or on the road that make the book sing as captivatingly as Mascis composes. Follow along and watch Deep Wound die, discover the precise moment Sebadoh was born, and learn what Barlow and Murph really thought of mid-career Dinosaur Jr. material after both were indelicately dismissed from the band (only to reunite eventually for Beyond).
Dinosaur Jr. fans who never delved into the band's influences could build playlists for days on the mentions of varied artists like the Replacements, Gang of Four, Nick Cave, Black Sabbath, Devo, the Buzzcocks, Dischord, John Cage – Barlow even calls the Ramones a revelation. It took more than 300 people to make this book happen, and it includes more than 100 photos, which more than adequately illustrate and bottle up to put on display the tightly run ship Mascis steered (while only occasionally pushing people to walk the plank) in his influential pedal-pushing project.

Are you sure it doesn't support syncing with Gmail contacts? I have a Nokia N9 and the Gmail contacts mysteriously appeared in my contacts.
The Nokia N9 is the best looking and slickest smartphone Nokia has ever built. It's a combination of superbly built hardware and slick, easy to use, elegant software. However, it's priced too high to compete with iOS and Android alternatives and we can't help but feel it's about 18 months too late.
Beautifully simple. That's the marketing tag-line for Nokia's promotion of the N9 smartphone, the first and last Nokia phone to run the MeeGo operating system. The N9 is the best looking and slickest device the company has released in a number of years. Although it can't compete with Android's flexibility, or iOS's number and quality of third-party apps, the Nokia N9's great design, superb display and ease of use makes it a valid alternative if you're looking for something different. It's just a shame it's so late to market and is essentially running a dead operating system.
Read why you should be excited about the Nokia N9 and check out our guide to the best upcoming smartphones in 2011.
Nokia is no stranger to excellent design and construction: despite many of its recent smartphones bring plagued by poor software, we've always admired Nokia's build quality, craftsmanship and industrial design. The N9 is no different — it's a candybar handset constructed from solid polymer. According to Nokia the N9 is manufactured from the same material often found in ice hockey helmets. The company says the phone's polycarbonate casing is coloured all the way through in the manufacturing process, so scratches, dents or marks from everyday use will not show up. The N9 is available in black, cyan and magenta colours in Australia: the cyan colour in particular is a real head turner and will definitely stand out in a store.
The N9 is Nokia's first-ever "pure touch" smartphone. It has no keypad or home button on the front — the only physical controls are on the right side in the form of volume buttons and a lock key. The bottom houses a speaker while a standard headphone jack, micro-USB port and SIM card slot are aligned on the top. A flap covers the micro-USB port but it's awkward to open: you need to dig your fingertip into the left side of the cover for it to flip up and you need to do this every time you want to charge the phone. The N9 doesn't have a removable battery and uses a micro-SIM card rather than a full-sized one. The only other smartphones on the Australian market to use a micro-SIM are Apple's iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
The entire front of the Nokia N9 is taken up by a 3.9in, super AMOLED, edge-to-edge display. The screen uses gorilla glass technology that Nokia says prevents scratches and cracks and the glass is curved outwards in order to achieve a more natural swiping motion. This curve makes content on the N9 appear as if it's floating underneath the screen. Viewing angles are excellent and the display is very bright, though it has a yellow tinge when compared directly to the iPhone 4 on full brightness and lacks an automatic brightness setting. Text is both crisp and clear.
The MeeGo operating system running the N9 is focussed on simplicity: Nokia says it intended to "cut through the clutter associated with traditional smartphone design." Although it has a learning curve if you're coming from an iPhone or Android smartphone, the user experience of the N9 feels natural. Swiping from edge-to-edge to unlock the screen, go back to the default home screen or see important notifications is effortless and easy.
The idea around navigating the N9 is that whenever you are in an application you simply swipe from the edge of the screen (either side) to go back to the home screens. At times we were left longing for a back button but after a few days use the swipe gestures become second nature. You can also set the N9 to close apps by swiping down when in an app — a similar action in parts to the webOS platform that powered HP's now-defunct TouchPad tablet.
The N9 interface is based around three "home views" — an applications screen that lists all your apps, a notifications screen for calls, messages, calendar events and social networking feeds and a currently open applications screen. Nokia says there is no limit to the amount of apps you have open and you won't see a message or error if the memory becomes full: we managed to open 15 apps without a direct affect on performance, but there are times when we wish the N9 had a faster, dual-core processor. Apps sometimes take a few seconds to open and more taxing tasks like playing back video files does result in a little slowdown.
Unfortunately, the Nokia N9 does not support the ability to create folders for app sorting, so the app list screen does become cluttered if you download a lot of apps. You can press and hold an app icon to move it where you want on the app screen, but this is the only method of sorting: you can't sort by alphabetical order or most used, for example.
Are you sure it doesn't support syncing with Gmail contacts? I have a Nokia N9 and the Gmail contacts mysteriously appeared in my contacts.
This is kinda odd, there's several reviews that say battery life is great.
The only ph that seems to be better is the iP4 + iOS5, & maybe the iP4S.
Plus numerous users in forums say the same...
There has been the odd user with weird battery problems.
Although AIR pretty-much all have been resolved with a reset.
Perhaps you could try that and re-asses battery life?
There is a major update coming in a few wks (PR1.1)...
Which hopefully will squash any lingering battery related quirks.
Also why do all these commercial review sites...
Not take a close look at street-prices & compare the N9 to competitors there?
It just smells quite odd......
The N9 does not sync Gmail contacts unless you add your Gmail account as a Microsoft Exchange account. It only syncs Google Talk contacts through the Google account.
As for battery life, it was poor. I am happy to re-assess once the software update is pushed out but I can only go off what I currently have.
I am from oman, the biggest mistake nokia ever did is they made a nice handset with a rubbish meego. No apps. Here in oman we widely using whatsapp. We tried wazapp. Now that too stopped. So we all smartphone lovers say good bye to nokia and started buying Samsung.now nobody in oman going for lumia phones. All buying android.i spent 175 rial ($ 450) for a smartphone which i can make caall only.
I bought my Nokia N9 more than a year ago, notwithstanding all kinds of snide and sarcastic remarks and reviews. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.
People say: "Nokia N9 ? Poor applications, dead operation system, blah, blah..."
All this evaporates once you begin playing with the toy. It is the simplest and most user friendly phone. Period...
All my friends have iPhones and Samsung Galaxys. They paid a fortune to buy them. Nonsense !
I am not interested in billions of "fart-apps" or silly games !
What I need is a ligtning fast, stable, reliable, sturdy, user-friendly smartphone with all the high quality applications and social networks built in.
Moreover, Nokia N9 has a lovely "swipe" action. No other smartphone has it.
It is a pure joy to use this phone. You can easily customise it too.
All in all, I'm a satisfied customer and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Don't be distracted by what others say. Follow your heart
You won't regret it at all...
I've been a Nokia fan for since ever, really pissed with the N9 (maybe because I am not techno on the aps). that I can't use PC suite for the calendar, contacts stinks no end as these are my 2 x critical loggings I use so frequently. Battery life, what life? crossing over to Samsung or what ever is more user friendly
i have A n9 BUT IT WILL NOT MAKE A SOUND WHEN SOMEONE CALLES YOU ANY IDEAS

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

However, these days all she can do is sit on the bench and watch her team compete from the dugout.
"Next thing I remember I was just laying on the ground screaming, and it was just so painful," explained Cooper during practice Monday afternoon.
So painful because she took a line drive to the face in the team's game at Guilderland April 15th, suffering several broken bones in her face and nose.
"It's been really hard, a lot of surgeries, my face has just been really puffy." She explained "I wish I could be there more for my team."
Unfortunately, the star pitcher's season is done. Her mouth will be wired shut for a couple more weeks as she continues to heal.
"She's chomping at the bit," said her coach Chris Ciccone. "Instead of sitting on the bench, she'd rather be out on the field but we know her health is the most important thing."
The next time Cooper takes the mound, she'll wear a protective mask around her face. In fact, for the rest of her career she will do so and since the incident, many of her teammates have done the same.
"It's a conscious effort on our part to make sure our players are safety aware, safety conscious and protected," said Ciccone.
"Besides that I'm really going to hope to put it past me and not let it affect my game," stated Cooper.
Ironically enough, the Lady Blue Devils will head to the same Guilderland field where the accident happened to take on the Lady Dutchmen on Friday in the opening round of the Class AA sectional tournament.

Ana Krishna Design Fashion shoot in Arambol
I met Austrian Ana Mostoegl at Magic Park, a healing arts resort that she runs with her partner Arun Duca in Arambol, Goa. She also designs clothing using one-of-a-kind saris and natural cotton for her feminine and playful collection. She says that women's fashion has become too masculine. Women's power, strength and beauty lays in showing and being proud of their femininity. Ana works with a group of tailors in Arambol in producing her clothing line that she calls "Ana Krishna Design."
Good fortune comes to you when you put the right energy out there. So Ana and I end up staying in Arambol longer to do a fashion shoot for Ana Mostoegl's new collection.

From there we take a bus up into the foothills of the Whestern Ghats where our next destination, the Bodytree Center, lays.

(Ed.'s note: The following letter was sent to the Town of North Hempstead Board and is printed here at the writer's request.)
I am writing in regard to the recent decision that permits the raffling off of weekend preferred tee times for golfers wishing to pay an additional $500 monthly fee.
This policy violates the underlying mission of Harbor Links, to wit, a town recreation facility created for the benefit of the public, and is to my mind discriminatory.
Those who can afford and desire to pay the $500 will have their tee times determined on a lottery basis. It is simply insufficient and counterintuitive to justify this system on the basis that golfers may still reserve tee times in the alternative hours that are not reserved for advance tee time holders.
Harbor Links was created by the Town of North Hempstead with taxpayers' money for the benefit of the public and is a municipal golf course. The $500 fee has the effect of semi-privatizing what by law is a public course while at the same time discriminating against members of the community who are not affluent. By selling reservations for half of the prime tee off times at this price, you are restricting the general publics access to the course.
If you want to raise the same estimated $40,000 gained in the lottery process, the same dollars can be made in 60 days of normal operations by adding $2 per round to greens fees.
This policy essentially creates two distinct classes of the public. The net result is those town residents who do not participate in this new profit source for the course, lose almost 50 percent of the opportunity to book times. What that means is that you are forced to participate or face much less availability of times. This is patently unfair and likely in violation of the code and charter under which this course was built with the taxpayers' dollars.

A two-block section of Shallowford Road between Gunbarrel and Jenkins roads will close Thursday and remain closed for about 60 days, Chattanooga Traffic Engineer John Van Winkle said Wednesday.
The city is closing the road while workers dig up and move a sewer line in preparation for a state project to widen Shallowford in that area, Van Winkle said.
The city will close the 7600 and 7700 blocks starting at 9 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release from the engineer's office.
Residents and business owners and customers will be able to get through the closed area but through traffic will be prohibited.
Westbound traffic on Shallowford will detour onto Jenkins Road north to Pinewood Drive. The eastbound detour will use Gunbarrel Road south of Igou Gap Road.

Now they hope to be completed by November 2012? We all got popped in the keister on this deal. It is funny how they seem to keep Jack Benson's road open and clean. Wonder why?

College costs attract much attention, but it's the cost of not attending that should have Hoosiers worried.
The latest report from Pew Research Center finds that millennials with college degrees in 2012 earned about $17,500 more than their peers with only a high school diploma. The gap has grown by about $2,000 in inflation-adjusted dollars since Generation Xers were the same age; almost $10,000 since early baby boomers were.
The figures lend urgency to Indiana's goal of 60 percent of residents earning a degree or certification – the same Big Goal sought by the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership – and they emphasize the need for methods to meet the goal. The Commission for Higher Education's College Completion Report offers valuable information to that end.
The just-released report, outlined by The Journal Gazette's Julie Crothers in a story Wednesday, finds that only about a third of Indiana students who enroll in four-year public colleges graduate on time. For two-year public schools, fewer than 1 in 10 students graduate on time.
Completion is the key, of course, and the commission deserves credit for acknowledging that higher education can be slowed or interrupted for plenty of reasons. Some students must work to pay for college, taking fewer courses and extending the time needed to finish. Some students transfer or switch majors, both of which require more time.
The report makes the important point, however, that time is the enemy in college completion. Each extra year of study costs more in tuition and lost wages and also decreases the likelihood of completion. Taxpayer-provided financial assistance could stretch further with on-time completion, as well.
The report stops short of offering recommendations, but it's not hard to translate its findings into action steps:
Help students finish on time. Expand counseling at both the high school and college levels to inform students of study and career options and to help them choose the institution that's the best fit. Provide adequate funding for public universities and Ivy Tech to offer services to help students stay in school.
Assist students in attending full time. Full-time students are nearly twice as likely as part-time students to successfully earn a degree, so financial assistance should be targeted at the former. Fort Wayne's Questa Scholars program is one promising model.
Target services to low-income and minority students, who lag in graduation rates.
The report could be improved if it were expanded to include independent and for-profit colleges. Some of the latter charge outrageous tuition and post dismal student outcomes. There are proprietary schools operating in Indiana with troubling records of fraud and abuse. Because they target low-income, first-generation college students in their marketing efforts, the schools sometimes trap students in worthless programs and exhaust their financial aid, saddling them with lifetime debt.
Some states are cracking down on proprietary schools, but Indiana is not among them. College completion figures for the for-profit schools, in particular, could steer at-risk students to more affordable and higher quality colleges. For taxpayers, investments in student aid will be better spent. For students, the likelihood of a college degree and higher earnings increases.

The pilot reported that while level at 2,500 feet MSL the engine began to run rough, and 30 seconds later it lost total power. Attempts to restart the engine were unsuccessful. The pilot contacted Houston Center and was given radar vectors to the Skydive Houston Airport. The pilot overshot the airport and maneuvered to land perpendicular to the runway. Approximately 20 yards from initial touch down, the aircraft's right wing struck a tree. The aircraft came to rest upright 20 to 30 yards past the runway between two hangars. Examination of the airplane revealed evidence of usable fuel. A teardown of the engine was accomplished and no mechanical anomalies were found that would have resulted in a loss of power. The airplane had not been flown for three years. The pilot recently purchased the airplane, and had applied for and received a ferry permit for the flight.

Heritage University's English Language Learner Endorsement Program is
Named a Finalist in Road Map Project Awards Program
Toppenish, WA — Heritage University's English Language Learner Academy & Institute (ELLA/ELLI) professional development model was named a finalist in the inaugural Road Map Project Awards for its work to increase equity and eliminate opportunity gaps for students in South King County and South Seattle. As announced last week (2/20/14), the Heritage University program and 20 other finalists stood out from more than 60 nominations for their excellent results, use of data for improvement purposes, and collaboration with teachers and school leaders within the Road Map region to get more powerful results for low-income students and children of color.
"We are thrilled and honored that our program, which has been used with numerous Washington school district partners for over nine years, is nominated for this award. We are committed to providing participants with not only current research and theoretical foundations but also effective job-embedded practices in Bilingual/English as a Second Language instruction," says Dr. Tricia Valdez-Zontek, the Department Chair of Bilingual & ESL Education at Heritage University.
The Road Map Project is a community-wide effort aimed at dramatically improving student achievement from cradle to college and career in South King County and South Seattle. The Road Map Project Awards Program aims to advance equity and eliminate opportunity gaps by recognizing amazing efforts and encouraging the spread of that success across the region. The HU English Language Learner Academy and Institute and the other finalists will be recognized at a March 4 awards ceremony at the Museum of Flight. A panel of 15 judges, comprised of local and national experts, is helping to determine several special recognition awards for overall excellence.
The event will feature the following guest presenters: Jackie Bezos, president and co-founder of the Bezos Family Foundation; State Supreme Court Justice Steve Gonzalez; Kati Haycock, president of The Education Trust; Norman B. Rice, president and CEO of The Seattle Foundation; and Ralph Smith, managing director of the national Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and senior vice president of the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
"The Education Trust is excited to be part of this work and support the Road Map Project Awards Program. We need to spread the success seen in the Road Map Project region across the country to ensure all students enjoy equal opportunities. It's an honor to participate in an award ceremony focused on closing opportunity gaps and increasing equity across the educational continuum. I believe this work will help improve the lives of children and strengthen communities in the Road Map Project region and beyond," said Kati Haycock, president of The Education Trust and guest presenter for the Road Map Project awards ceremony.

Mason Paris discusses his weight loss journey.
At his peak, Mason Paris weighed 270 pounds. He was being treated for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. His weight made it difficult for Mason to move around and would cause lower back pain. In addition to physical pain, his weight was also a source of embarrassment.
"I used to get tired so fast while walking, and I would try to never walk with other people because I couldn't keep up" Mason said. An avid lover of the outdoors, Mason's weight would make being outside nearly impossible.
He knew that something had to be done. Mason's wife had bariatric surgery at Saint Agnes and was doing so well with her weight loss that he couldn't keep up with her. That was the last straw. Mason decided to have the gastric bypass procedure and has since lost 110 pounds. Because of his weight loss he no longer needs treatment for his blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes.
His only regret is not having the surgery sooner. "I feel great, I feel phenomenal, I should have done this 10 years ago."

The winners do not have to attend school at McPherson College, however top prize includes a four-year scholarship, should the champion enroll at the college.
An independent panel of entrepreneurs, community members and faculty will judge the entries and select five in both the commercial and social entrepreneurship categories as finalists.
Those finalists will attend a pitch competition on Feb. 15 for their shot at the top prize of a $5,000 grant to develop their idea, as well as a $20,000, four-year scholarship to attend McPherson College. The other eight finalists will also receive a $4,000 scholarship to McPherson College. All told, the college's financial commitments total more than $100,000.
Students have until Jan. 25 to submit an application.

Why Co-working Spaces Help Businesses Succeed
"They're low-cost, and provide the typical office amenities--conference rooms, photocopiers, etc. But there are other less tangible benefits for entrepreneurs. Co-working spaces draw independent workers and start-ups to a shared office environment."
"The number one reason that a new business should join a co-working space is for the community support. Opening your own business is scary. It's a huge risk personally and professionally. Co-working members will support you. They will let you bounce your ideas, give you honest feedback, and cheer you on when you have a success. It's a ready-made, diverse support mechanism just waiting for you to walk in and join.
You are able to quickly build out a diverse social network, which can potentially lead to new clients, new investors or resources to help you get the work done. Finally, co-working can save cold hard cash for strapped entrepreneurs. The best part of starting a business in a co-working space is the ability to be flexible and quick. If you need a task done outside the partners' skill set then there is likely someone in the community that could help you out for a few hours."

Well that was quite a Christmas.
In fact it's been so busy that 4 new releases have passed us by with nary a mention. Changing that, now I am here with the writing about things. Yes.
Without further ado, onto the explanations behind the crazy stuff that's fallen out of my head and onto paper.
First up this time, we've got an absolute belter of an Islay Whisky, from Kilchoman.

Told you we'd be back soon (and we're not done yet)...
Another week, and another 4 brand-spanking-new releases from That Boutique-y Whisky Company have hit the shelves in time for Christmas. Once again I'm left trying to justify the madness that's escaped from my bonce and onto the labels of these fine drams...
So – let's start with the most obvious of the 4. A Giant with a fondness for Jam Sandwiches stealing a giant hat from a dunnage warehouse whilst all unnecessary on Bourbon. That? That.
