I'm planting my first seeds today and to do that I'll need to mix up a new batch of seed-starting soil mix. If you're starting your own seeds in trays like me you need to use a soil "medium" that is sterile, meaning that it doesn't have fungus and bacteria that will be hard on your tender little seedlings, especially in the humid conditions that are ideal for seed starting.
You can buy seed starting mix at your local garden supply store or, as I've learned, you can make your own that is just as good if not better. It will take an initial investment but if you're going to get into starting plants I think it's worth it and if have a large volume of seeds to start and transplant as they grow you'll save some money by making your own.
To get started you need to buy three basic ingredients:
- Vermiculite
- Perlite
- Peat Moss
I buy the big bags of each for around $25 each at Northwest Seed and Pet, and those usually last me two growing seasons, with the perlite and vermiculite lasting longer. I find that I don't need much soil medium to start the seeds, but when I transplant the growing plants into larger pots I really use a lot of soil medium.
The basic mix is 3 parts peat moss, 1 part perlite and 1 part vermiculite. I make my batches by using a plastic pitcher, and I use a dedicated garbage can to mix 9 pitchers full of peat moss, 3 of perlite and 3 of vermiculite. Note: use a particle mask while doing this. I usually wet it down a little before mixing it to keep the dust down.
Make sure to mix it up well, wet it all down so it's damp, but not soggy, and it's ready to load into your planting trays. It's much easier filling plastic trays with soil that already has the proper moisture content.
I learned this mix from Bruce at GEM Garden and Greenhouse. He sells this medium with some other goodies added in for a great price. If you're only starting a couple of trays you might want to go that route.
Seedlings supply their own fertilizer for the first week or so as they feed off the remnants of the seed. After this you will need to use a regular regimen of fertilizer to help them grow. Take note that peat moss is slightly acidic so, depending on the sensitivity of the plants you're starting, you may want to compensate in your fertilizing to neutralize the acidity.
I've used this seed-starting mix for four years with great success. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here's a VFYG submission from Cat. You can read more about her garden at her blog Growing on the Swan Slough.
I was practically raised in the farmers market scene, coming along with my mom while she sold her homemade soap and home harvested honey when I was a kid. A few years later she started Flying Tomato Farm of Snohomish, WA with my stepdad and I really started to get interested in growing food. I'd keep coming along to market and would also help out a little here and there in the greenhouse, then I was hired on as a farmers market seller by an organic farmer in the Skagit. For the past six summers I've spent my weekends peddling all sorts of unique heirloom fruits and vegetables: orange and pink striped beets, numerous varieties of fingerling potatoes, super sweet shuksun strawberries, snap peas and english shellers, fava beans, rainbow carrots, mixed greens with edible flower petals, peacock kale, speckled troutsback romaine, purple tomatoes, jahrdale and cinderella pumpkins and far much more. I have found a passion for produce and feel fulfilled when I can grow, cook and enjoy it!
This is the first year that I've really had the opportunity to get my very own garden going. It's been a very mild summer but I've done fairly well regardless. Right now I have all of the following growing in my garden: rhubarb, raspberries, blueberries, sugar snap peas, lacinato kale, brussel sprouts, french fingerlings, red thumb fingerlings, nordland potatoes, yukon gold potatoes and peruvian purple potatoes, red runner beans, blue lake green beans, turnips, candy onions, red onions, yellow onions, three types of sunflowers, marigolds, sugar pie pumpkins, delicata winter squash, jack o'lantern pumpkins, Japanese red pumpkins, hops, and in the greenhouse I have pink brandywine tomatoes, evergreen tomatoes, yellow pear tomatoes, sweet 100 cherry tomatoes, basil, and agnes pickling cucumbers. Today, I harvested two wheelbarrows full of garlic! I had two spicy red hardneck varieties growing and elephant garlic. I feel soul-satisfied when I can get my hands into the dirt and raise my own crops to enjoy with loved ones at the dinner table. Life is certainly good when you can keep a garden!

We had a great work day today at the Pumpkin Patch Community Garden in the west valley of Spokane. As you can see from the picture even the little guys were putting their muscles into preparing the soil for a new growing season. We added 12 more beds today, giving us a total of 42 10x4 ft raised beds. If you're interested in having a garden plot this summer there are still some openings. Go here to find out how you can be involved. If you're not close to the Pumpkin Patch gohere for a map of all the community gardens in Spokane.
For the first time we decided to mulch the pathways of our garden to make managing the weeds easier. We should have done this long ago. The technique is to put down a thick layer of newspapers and cover it with straw. It should kill whatever is growing in the path and for awhile keep new growth from popping up. Be sure to use straw, not hay. Hay is full of seeds.
Beware that wood chips, pine straw and other materials can change the acidity of the soil and if they get mixed in can "fix" the nitrogen in the soil, making it unavailable to the growing plants. This can be an issue with large amounts of non decomposed straw that get mixed in to the soil too, but to a lesser extent.
Early season gardening can be a challenge on your palate. Yes, you can grow an abundance of radishes, but we've never been big fans of the tangy little balls of fire which is why we've never bothered to grow them. This year, I planted parsnips early and it was recommended to plant radishes alongside to mark the rows. Radishes emerge from the soil quickly whereas parsnips take what seems like forever.
So for the first time I planted a bunch of radishes - as row markers with no real intentions of eating them.
Without anything else to eat from the garden these days we've been experimenting with the radishes and have been pleasantly surprised. The red round variety we planted is sweet and not overwhelmingly spicy. But the real discovery has been the mild, refreshing radish greens. We've been stir frying them, putting them in salads and just crunching on them raw. The have a complex but pleasant flavor with not a hint of the bitterness you find in kale. I was familiar with turnip greens but had not heard about the virtues of radish greens. They are probably very similar. (The white icicle radish variety is a little spicy for our taste, but its greens are also tasty.)
Next up on this year's garden experiments is our first crop of beets. I'm not a big fan of the beet roots but beet greens are also good to eat. They have the look of chard. We're discovering that the real stars of the early season garden are not so much the root crops that dominate the early season offerings, but the greens that top them off. Look for these tasty greens at your local farmers' market.
Foodista has a post up titled Turnip Redemption extolling the virtues of baby turnips. Maybe we'll try to get some turnips into the garden too.

I checked out the weather forecast in the Spokane area and it looks like we're going to have temps at night above 40 degrees through May 19th. If that holds true it's pretty much a green light to start planting at least part of the garden. Here are some things to think about when it comes to planting the garden.
Harden off tender plants:
"Hardening off" is a term used to describe acclimatizing plants to colder temps outside. This is especially true of plants that you've been growing inside the house where the plants don't experience much of a swing in temps from high to low or the stress of wind, rain and direct sun. To harden off plants, put them outside for a period of time each day. Avoid putting them in really hot direct sun or hard pelting rain. Gradually increase the amount of time they are outside. You can also put them outside in a cold frame.
Provide Proper Spacing:
Pay attention to the seed spacing advice on the seed packet. This is my Achilles' heel of gardening. I almost always crowd the plants. Sometimes this works in my favor. For example, peppers like to be crowded. They like to be tucked together to keep the humidity up and provide some protection from intense heat. Carrots on the other hand will simply not grow much if you don't give them adequate room. This goes for all root crops. Take note that the seed pack will indicate the recommended spacing when planting and then the recommended spacing after they start growing. If you use all the seeds, keep the seed pack around to double check the thinning requirements. One caveat to all of this is that the seed packs make their recommendations based on traditional row crops.
There are alternative methods of spacing that will maximize plants if you're working with a small space. Instead of planting your corn in a row, plant it in a small circle. Instead of planting your carrots in a row, scatter them in a bunch and thin out as required. If you have limited space, consider going vertical. Instead of planting bush beans, plant pole beans. You also might want to consider getting a bush variety of plant instead of a creeping plant that hogs space. Cucumbers and pumpkins/squash, that are notorious for taking over the garden, all come in space saving "bush" varieties. Check out the book "Square Foot Gardening" for more tips.
Take note when selecting your tomato varieties. Tomatoes come in determinate, compact with fruit ripening at the same time, and indeterminate where it keeps growing and setting fruit until the frost kills it. If you're cramped for space either get a determinate variety or set up your support structure for the tomatoes to train it to grow vertically. Go here for a nice breakdown of tomato varieties.
Preparing the Soil/Planting Hole:
One trick you may want to consider is digging deeper than you'll plant and sprinkle a little fertilizer at the bottom of the hole, and then cover that with about an inch of soil, and then plant your plants to the proper depth. Just make sure the bare roots of the plant or start or seeds are not touching the fertilizer.
Preparing the Plants:
Make sure the plants are well watered, and choose a time when they won't get immediately shocked by intense sun or wind. Most plants you'll want to scruff up the roots, but squash plants are the exception. They don't like to have their roots disturbed before you put them in the ground.
Sticking them in the Ground:
This is fairly straight forward for most plants. Put them in the ground with the soil equal to where the plant emerges from the soil in the container. But there are exceptions, with tomatoes being the most important. (Note: If you have two tomato plants coming up in one container, they divide easily without harming the plant. Just make sure each plant has sufficient roots. Also note that tomatoes and peppers should go in the ground closer to the end of May.)
Look at the stem of the tomato and you'll see a mass of tiny hairs. When these are placed under the soil they turn into roots, which is why you always plant tomatoes deeper than they are currently set in their container. This is also why you shouldn't grab tomato starts by the stem when transplanting. You'll damage the future roots. Grab them by the top as you nestle them out of their container.
I recommend digging a small trench and laying the tomato plant horizontally in to the trench. Cover the root ball and all of the plant except for the top portion. Make sure you've got at least three sets of leaves out of the ground. You'll want to snip off any leaves on the portion of the plant that is below the soil. Gently curve the top portion so that it is vertical, using the pressure of the soil, and firm it up. If you dig an 8 inch hole and put the plant in vertically, the roots will be in that cool deep soil and not grow as quickly. By keeping the majority of the plant an inch or two under the soil it will be warmer and grow more quickly.
For onion starts I like to dig a small trench and lay the onion starts with the is roots at the bottom of the trench, then come back and fill in the trench.
In conversations about the Pumpkin Patch Community Garden I'm hearing a lot of people say they don't have a green thumb or, based on their experience, they fear they would just kill any plants under their care. Christopher Walken has a novel idea for overcoming these kind of gardening fears - googly eyes.
Gardening season is really kicking into high gear in the Spokane area but don't be fooled by 70 degree daytime weather. The key temp to keep an eye on in the forecast is the nighttime temp. The usual last freeze date in the area is May 15, so even if the 10 day forecast doesn't predict a freeze, don't plant those tomato and pepper plants yet. They'll just sit in the soil pouting about how cold it gets at night, if they don't freeze. A snow free Micah Peak is the ultimate green light for planting warm weather plants around her. My theory is that the garden centers sell huge tomato starts now to fool you into planting them and killing them off so you come back in June to get more.
That doesn't mean there isn't a lot to do around the garden now. Plant peas, potatoes, radishes and carrots now. Start your squash plants now. It is easy to direct seed squash but I've found the pheasants like to nip the tender shoots. If you're planning to enter the County Fair start your mammoth sunflower seeds now to get a head start.
A fun project for this week is to survey your perennial flower beds for volunteer plants coming up from seeds dropped by the plants last fall. This morning I transplanted around 30 purple coneflower volunteers that were sprouting up in the asparagus (pictured above). I also potted up around 25 borage volunteers to plant throughout the garden later on. Ironically I started borage and purple coneflower seeds in the greenhouse this Spring and so far the garden volunteers are outproducing the greenhouse 2 to 1.
The combination of rain and sun is really going to get the weeds going so do your best to get ahead of the game early by pulling weeds now when they are small. For every hour you put in weeding now you'll save 2 hours of weeding later in the summer.
Looking forward to our first year of asparagus after planting them 2 years ago. It takes that long for the roots to get established.
If you've been following along here in prepping for this year's garden you have some seeds starting to pop up. If you were a little overeager you probably have some plants that are getting quite large and the roots are overgrowing their little cubicle.
If they are getting too big, and it's too early to plant them out (at least it is here in Spokane), you'll want to transplant them into a larger pot so they don't become root bound. Note that squash type plants (pumpkins, etc.) have sensitive roots so when/if you transplant them don't disrupt the roots. Most other starts you'll want to tussle up the roots a little before transplanting. (Note: If you come home on a sunny day and your starts are all droopy like a Salvador Dali painting, don't lose all hope. Often with generous watering they will resurrect themselves.)
If you haven't been able to get any seeds into the ground it's not too late to get them going but it's getting close to that point where you might want to just plan on buying plant starts from a local greenhouse. I recommend GEM Garden and Greenhouse, Northwest Seed & Pet and the Herb Garden & Greenhouse if you live in the Spokane area. Farmers' Markets are also a good place to get starts . Many of the large garden centers are coming around on sourcing from local greenhouses, but past history shows that many of their starts are from places like Texas.
If you haven't done so yet, it's time to draw up a picture of your garden plot and identify what you will plant and where. As I've said before, rotate crops to limit disease. For example tomato, potato, eggplant varieties should not be planted in the same place from one year to the next. Rotation is also important for not depleting the soil. You want to follow heavy to medium feeders that draw a lot of nutrients from the soil (tomatoes, corn, cabbage, peppers) with either light feeders (carrots, beets, onions) or heavy givers (beans, peas) that actually will fix nitrogen in the soil and enrich it. I like the methodology explained here that recommends a rotation of heavy feeders followed with heavy givers which are then followed by light feeders.
Another key consideration in plotting out your garden plan is what plants make good companions and like to be together and which plants are arch enemies and will fight each other all summer resulting in reduced yields.
You can go here for a run down on plants that are beneficial and antagonistic. I get kind of overwhelmed by all the information and different criteria for planting, so I have developed Craig's anecdotal, simplified companion planting plan.
Basil & Tomatoes: My first recommendation is interplant your tomatoes with basil, lots of basil. We discovered this two year's ago. We always had trouble with our basil going to seed because of the intense heat of summer, but when we interplanted them with the tomatoes the large tomato plants shaded the basil just enough to keep them in check. We had wonderful basil all summer and the tomatoes seem to really like it too.
Borage, Nasturtiums and Marigolds all around: These are my go to plants to intersperse in the veggie garden. Marigolds are legendary among organic gardeners for helping with aphids.
Fennel be banned: I've heard reports that Fennel doesn't get along well with much in the garden so I haven't been planting it of late.
I'll probably add to my companion planting list as I mature as a gardener but these are the three things that make sense to me at this point. Let me know you're experiences and I'll add to the list.
One last consideration for you garden plan, make sure to plant you're tall shade producing plants on the north side of your plot so they don't block the sun from your shorter plants. Lettuce on the other hand is good to plant in the semi shade of sunflowers to keep it from going to seed too quickly.
Picture: Arrowleaf Balsamroot emerging from winter slumber.
Just checking in about the seed starting calendar I put together earlier in the Spring. So far we're right on schedule. We're just about 7 weeks out from the last freeze date here in the Spokane area so everything is planted in the greenhouse except the Zucchini and summer squash. The picture to the left is what the greenhouse looks like at this point. If I cranked up the heat some more I could get things growing more briskly but I don't like to run the heater all the time. The barrels with water pictured to the left are full of water and are designed to absorb heat during the day and slowly release heat at night. Our greenhouse is the Costco sourced kit that sells for about $700.
The peas I planted in the garden about three weeks ago are now popping up as are the radishes. No sign of the parsnips or beets. It's going to get pretty cold later in the week so I may put some plastic over these sprouts overnight just in case.
I went to Northwest Seed & Pet last week and bought my seed potatoes. Legend has it that you're supposed to plant your seed potatoes on Good Friday. I mentioned that to a real potato farmer one time and he laughed and said, "Yea, That or when the soil reaches a temperature of 52 degrees." (I actually can't remember the exact temperature.) I think I'll stick with the Good Friday rule. I've said it many times but I recommend planting funky varieties of potatoes, like purple or fingerling or pink. There is nothing more discouraging than growing Yukon Gold or Russett type potatoes only to go to the grocery store and see them being sold for .50 cents a pound. We've still got about 50 lbs of potatoes left from last summer's harvest.
One of my special projects for this year is to grow native wildflowers from the seeds I gathered last summer. There is something really satisfying seeing them sprouting up in the Greenhouse. The wildflowers I'm growing from seed include Fireweed, Blanketflower, Lupine, Blue Flax, Hooker's Onion, Yarrow, Deer Vetch, Buckwheat, and Arrowleaf Balsamroot. Everything has popped up so far except for the Arrowleaf which I was told is notoriously hard to start from seeds gathered in the wild. I have a bunch of other native flowers I am starting from store bought seeds.
Richard Bohn, a local artist from the Pumpkin Patch Community Garden group stopped by Saturday to get some of the seeds I gathered to include in the wildflower border we're planting around the garden. Go here for an update on the garden and to www.pumpkinpatchgarden.com for the whole scoop and to sign up to volunteer. Click through to read a nice poem Richard wrote about planting the seeds on Saturday.

Video: Stephen Colbert rips CU students who haven't signed up to live in "gun dorm"
From the "In case you missed it" file: On Thursday's hilarious "Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger" segment, viewable below, The Colbert Report's Stephen Colbert weighed in on the fact that no students have signed up to live in CU-Boulder housing that allows guns -- a story our Sam Levin first reported in August. Of course, Colbert is critical of this situation, reminding enrollees that college is "time to get crazy: do shots, take shots, get shot."
Video below.
But a wag of the finger for Colbert's reference to "U of C students." It's CU, pal -- or CU later.
Here's the video. The CU guns item is the second in the clip.

On 1 January 1871 the district Herdla with 2,484 inhabitants split away to form a municipality of its own, and on 1 January 1910 the same thing happened with Hjelme. The splits left Manger with a population of 4,453. Manger was to be divided again on 1 July 1924, when the new municipalities Bø and Sæbø were created. After this final split Manger had a population of 1,426. On 1 January 1964 Manger was merged with Hordabø and parts of Herdla, Sæbø, Lindås and Austrheim to form the new municipality Radøy. Prior to the merger Hordabø had 1,344 inhabitants.

"This is my favorite cigar - one of a kind taste."
I have been wanting to write a review about this cigar ever since I took my first puff. It has everything I look for in a cigar - Smooth spice, a woody taste, with hints of coffee, and smell that sweet smell that lingers in the air. The only thing that I do not care for is how softness of the cigar.JD in Houston, Texas June 13, 2012

This summer, over 100 students put on costumes, tuned their instruments, and laced up their dancing shoes as a part of an expanding summer arts program in Guilford County. Students in the program had the chance to participate in hands-on learning in theatre, music, dance or visual arts, and pick up new skills through the Summer Arts Institute, coordinated by Guilford County Schools.
Program leaders stepped up their efforts this year by providing an arts immersion experience to public schools students by expanding the Institute sessions to two weeks and bringing the initiative to two different high school campuses. Eastern Guilford High School in Gibsonville hosted a week-long session from June 24-27, while the Penn-Griffin School for the Arts in High Point hosted the program from July 15-18.
The expansion of the program is a direct result of its increasing popularity.
"This program has grown each year since its inception [in 2010]," said Nathan Street, the program manager for the Summer Arts Institute. "We had roughly 20 students then and we had 120 apply this year."
The program allows for students to choose a "major," based on already-cultivated skills in the arts, and a "minor," where students are allowed to explore artistic areas less familiar to them.
This year also sees the return of the "6 Strings and 88 Keys," a popular program in which students learn to play guitar and piano. The program is held at the Weaver Academy in Greensboro. Participating students took lessons from master performers and teachers, Patrick Lui and Mark Freundt.
"Shakespeare in the Park," another component of SAI, included performances of the historic tragedy Richard III, and was put on at Barber Park in Greensboro. In previous years, students in this program have acted in Macbeth and As You Like It. Collaboration is an on-going theme of the initiative, with Greensboro's Drama Center of City Arts and the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival collaborating on "Shakespeare in the Park," and Moore Music, a family-owned music retail store that provides instruments for students to use during the Art Immersion program.
The Community Theatre of Greensboro will continue collaborating with students and SAI on a full-length Broadway-style musical, Godspell Jr. This program enables students to explore their acting talents, as well as learn about backstage management, choreography, costuming, set design and music.
Students in grades 5-10 were accepted into the program. Applicants were required to demonstrate excellence in their respective area of art (band, orchestra, chorus, dance, theatre or visual arts) as well as academic excellence in their schools. The Institute offered scholarships to students in need, in order to allow the most students to benefit.
"The 2013 Summer Arts Institute is another amazing adventure for students in the arts," said Street.

Hello Dr Lam
I had a lip reduction procedure done on 11/2/11 on both lips. I am a 27 old male.
I can see the change on the lower lip but i can't see the decrease in the upper lip. Although, i am still pretty swollen on the mustache area. I am almost 3 months into the proceduere and i am still swollen. Is this normal? The incisions were made inside the lip not on the wet/dry line.
Also I was wondering, will the swelling on the mustache area and lower lip area decreased with time?? Or will i did a touch up procedure?? How much should I wait until I could do the procedure with you (if needed)?
many thanks

On the Road with "The Brimley"
Andy Stuckey
May 3, 2007
So this week I've been a traveling diabetic. Our tour started Monday night in Auburn, Alabama, and from there we went to Nashville and last night played in Birmingham. We have a long drive today to Savannah and we plan to do what we always do on long road trips: Anytime we stop for gas, we check and see if the gas station sells compact discs, and if they do, we purchase the worst-looking one.
Once we are back on the road, the titles of every track are read aloud and we try and guess which songs will be ballads. The drive to Birmingham was the album I Love You Like You Are by Ray Parker Jr. of Ghostbusters fame. The title track, "I Love You Like You Are," made Murray spit a bit of popcorn out of his mouth. It may be one of the funniest albums I've ever heard, and the "smoothe" photos in the album insert are phenomenal.
Murray and I have decided that when we return to NYC, my wife is going to have to take some smoothe portraits of us.
Offending America one city at a time, our first show in Auburn was great, and I met another member of the "tribe." No she wasn't Jewish, she had diabetes (and had had it for 19 years). We had the immediate bond that everyone with "the Brimley" has, and she also came out to our show in Birmingham last night. Her boyfriend, Mitch, played bass on a few songs.
As we go from town to town, it is a bit difficult to eat as healthily as I'd like. Thankfully, my sister-in-law Heather prepared a home-cooked meal for us last night. We ate some great jambalaya before the show.
Traveling every single day, I've also noticed that I'm constantly asking myself "Where is my Lantus?" Every stop we make, I try and put it in the refrigerator first thing, but sometimes we go straight to the venue we are playing for a sound check and it has to sit in my bag. I didn't bring an extra vial this time, so I've gotta make sure it goes everywhere I go.
In other Stuckey and Murray news, our video for the "Ukulele" song should go up on heavy.com today. Check it out for a good laugh. I'm off to Savannah, Atlanta, and Jacksonville. If you have friends in the area, send them to the show. The info is at www.myspace.com/stuckeymurray.
Pocahontas here posting for "the tribe", as I sit on my buffalo rawhide from my teepee in Birmingham.

I just HAD to comment on Missy's comment (05/06/2007). I laughed out loud on the closing immitation of Mr. Brimley. I'm at work & am going to be in big trouble for doing such an outburst! I don't care! It hit me just the right way! Thanks!

Loved the "Brimley" reference. Made me crack up thinking of us at DL's Farm.

Last fall, a longtime goal of Dancing with the Stars producers came into fruition: an all-stars season.Thirteen alums returned, but viewers fled. The onetime ratings juggernaut delivered less-than-glittery numbers — partially due to The Voice's first fall outing siphoning eyeballs. But executive producer Conrad Green also believes it's because fans want to see dancing with new stars, not all-stars.

From 8-bit graphics to the power of next-gen consoles, racing games have been through some changes. Here are seven notable leaps forward in bringing gamers closer to the cockpit.
By Darren Orf
Need for Speed Rivals (2013)

Another topic: the ExperienceFrame
you hide the original ExperienceFrame and draws your own ExperienceFrame, but on this way you also hide the XP/TP marker indicating the XP/TP bonus from inhouse furniture.
you also seem not to update on some other events like:
I've compared yours with it from addon XPExtended, which seems more complete at all.
So, XPExtended isn't updated anymore, maybe you could simply include it in you fSlimUI.
I already tried it, but I don't got much developer knowledge...there is one big difference in XPExtended to your ExperienceFrame:
it doesn't replace the orginal ExperienceFrame, but attaches to it and only put some layer over it.
advantage: XP/TP marker stay
maybe disadvantage: original ExperienceFrame doesn't seem to be resizable (or I didn't find a way/function for resizing), because simply change the anchor points didn't work.
I tried to change it in XPExtended.xml:
...and changed x="5" / x="-5" to some greater values for matching to the borders of fSlimUI, but got no success.
If you find a way to resize, XPExtended would be a good alternative ExperienceFrame in fSlimUI :D

No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the sources of our troubles,we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance,greed and love of power.P. J. O'Rourke
Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.Edmund Burke
Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.G.K. Chesterton
Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?Erich Fromm
Humor results when society says you can't scratch certain things in public, but they itch in public.Tom Walsh
As society advances the standard of poverty rises.Theodore Parker
Have I done anything for society? I have then done more for myself. Let that question and truth be always present to thy mind, and work without cessation.William G. Simms
Our lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished by expressions like 'excuse me,' and other such simple courtesies... Rudeness, the absence of the sacrament of consideration, is but another mark that our time-is-money society is lacking in spirituality, if not also in the enjoyment of life.Ed Hays
Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.Brian Tracy
The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society.Robert Francis Kennedy
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.Jessamyn West
Have I done anything for society? I have then done more for myself. Let that question and truth be always present to thy mind, and work without cessation.William G. Simms
Force can overcome force, but a free society cannot long steel itself to dominate another people by sheer force.Dean Acheson
There is a fundamental difference, however, between asking to be permitted to keep a vegetative relative on costly machinery, and asking the taxpayers or society as a whole to pay for such machinery.Jacob M. Appel
Living in a multicultural society, we cross into each others worlds all the time. We live in each others pockets, occupy each others territories, live in close proximity and in intimacy with each other at home, in school, at work. We are mutually complicitous - us and them, white and colored, straight and queer, Christian and Jew, self and Other, oppressor and oppressed. We all of us find ourselves in the position of being simultaneously insider/outsider. The Spanish word nosotras means us. In theorizing insider/outsider I write the word with a slash between nos (us) and otras (others). Today the division between the majority of us and them is still intact. This country does not want to acknowledge its walls or limits, the places some people are stopped or stop themselves, the lines they arent allowed to cross. . . . [But] the future belongs to those who cultivate cultural sensitivities to differences and who use these abilities to forge a hybrid consciousness that transcends the us vs. them mentality and will carry us into a nosotras position bridging the extremes of our cultural realities.Gloria Evangelina Anzalda
Don't regard my characters as symbols of a determined society. See them as something that sparks a reaction within you so that they become a personal experience. The critic is a spectator and an artist insofar as he transforms the work into a personal thing of his own.Michelangelo Antonioni
I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society .... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth.Michelangelo Antonioni
We are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science. Scientific man is already on the moon, and yet we are still living with the moral concepts of Homer. Hence this upset, this disequilibrium that makes weaker people anxious and apprehensive, that makes it so difficult for them to adapt to the mechanism of modern life. ... We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean. In the future not soon, perhaps by the twenty-fifth century these concepts will have lost their relevance. I can never understand how we have been able to follow these worn-out tracks, which have been laid down by panic in the face of nature. When man becomes reconciled to nature, when space becomes his true background, these words and concepts will have lost their meaning, and we will no longer have to use them.Michelangelo Antonioni
It is, of course, merely a truism to say that war, like other social or political evils, is the outcome of the bad management of human society, which is, in its turn, due to certain errors or deficiencies. But our task is to discern the sort of error or deficiency.Sir Norman Angell
To me naturalization is just an obvious extension of what somebody in my position would desire anyway the right to vote and to legally participate in society the same as any other citizen. I am already as entrenched as any other citizen: I have a house and land with a debt of a quarter-million dollars; with a thirty-year loan I really cannot leave Japan Moreover, naturalization has knock-on benefits that suit a person with my personality. It will enable me to stand on my rights (yes, more than I do now!) with renewed vigor because I will indeed have more rights, as well as a firmer ground to demand even more (I can except myself from, say, this 'as a foreigner, you are a guest in our country so shut up' bullshit). And dare I say it? I would be able to participate in politics as a candidate if I so choose).Debito Arudou
At the beginning of the twentieth century, every single leading Muslim intellectual was in love with the west, and wanted their countries to look just like Britain and France. Some of them even said that the Europeans were better Muslims than they themselves, because their modern society had enabled them to create a fairer and more just distribution of wealth, than was possible in their pre-modern climates, and that accorded more perfectly with the vision of the Quran. Then there was the experience of colonialism under Britain and France, experiences like Suez, the Iranian revolution, Israel, and some people, not all by any means have allowed this ... these series of disasters to corrode into hatred. Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity, which has as its main image, in the west at least, a man dying in a devastating, disgraceful, helpless death. crucified, and that turned into victory. Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength. But against the West, it's been able to make no headway, and this is as disturbing for Muslims as the discoveries of Darwin have been to some Christians. The Quran says that if you live according to the Quranic ideal, implementing justice in your society, then your society will prosper, because this is the way human beings are supposed to live. But whatever they do, they cannot seem to get Muslim history back on track, and this has led some, and only a minority, it must be said, to desperate conclusions.Karen Armstrong
Human nature is said by many to be good; if so, where have social evils come from? For human nature is the only moral nature in that corrupting thing called "society." Every example set before the child of to-day is the fruit of human nature. It has been planted on every possible field among the snows that never melt; in temperate regions, and under the line; in crowded cities, in lonely forests; in ancient seats of civilization, in new colonies; and in all these fields it has, without once failing, brought forth a crop of sins and troubles.William Arthur
And what is an authentic madman? It is a man who preferred to become mad, in the socially accepted sense of the word, rather than forfeit a certain superior idea of human honor. So society has strangled in its asylums all those it wanted to get rid of or protect itself from, because they refused to become its accomplices in certain great nastinesses. For a madman is also a man whom society did not want to hear and whom it wanted to prevent from uttering certain intolerable truths.Antoine Marie Joseph Artaud

Do you have questions about bed bugs? Are you getting bites but are not sure what is causing them? Do you live in Southern California? If you do, you qualify for our FREE TELEPHONE CONSULTATION. Call us at 949-842-2049 OR 949-702-6996.
Introducing Tess
Tess is a Bed Bug Detecting K9. Identifying live bed bug infestations is all she does, and she does it well.
For your convenience, we work weekends too.
Check out our Video Page to see Tess in Action!
Check out our FAQ Page to learn more about Bed Bugs
Why Bed Bug Dogs? Our dogs are trained to alert to the odor of live bed bugs and their eggs. This is the only odor that they will alert on. An odor inspection is a more accurate and cost effective way to determine whether a property is clear or infested.
Bed bug infestation is not just confined to mattresses, box springs, bed frames and night stands. Bed bugs like to live within 5 to 8 feet of their human host meal. In many cases this means they can easily live under carpet tacking or in walls.
To visually inspect a room, and 100% verify that all presence of live bed bugs are gone, a human must take up any carpeting and look under the wooden carpet tacking strip along the perimeter of the walls (A favorite hiding place for bed bugs). Also, a visual inspection of the walls requires that the walls be cut open (suspect areas include electrical outlets). The amount of time that a visual inspection requires, plus the amount of time and money needed to put the room back together again, is prohibitive.
Using Bed Bug Dogs before treatment will indicate where the bed bugs are. Using Bed Bug Dogs after treatment will determine whether the bed bugs and their eggs are all dead. Bed Bug Dogs will bring peace of mind to any victim of these modern day infestations. This is the only cost effective way to do the job.
Bed Bud Detection is our only business. Confidential Inspections Services will give you the assurance you need that your property is bed bug free. Or, if you are in need of extermination services, we will revisit your property after the exterminators have completed their work to make sure that no trace of live bed bugs remain. We are discrete, professional, and dedicated to your peace of mind.

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. (AMBO) fell to the lowest on record in New York after the Beijing-based education service provider's Chief Financial Officer resigned and the company reported a first-quarter net loss.
Ambow Education tumbled 20 percent to $3.73 at the close of trading in New York, the lowest since the American depositary receipts started trading in August 2010. Trading was almost three times the stock's three-month average daily volume, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In a statement yesterday, Ambow Education reported a $12.7 million net loss for the first quarter, compared with $2 million net income for the same period in 2011. In a separate statement, the Beijing-based company said Gareth Kung, who joined the company in December, resigned as the company's finance chief, and that KJ Tan, vice-president of finance, was appointed as acting finance chief.
Ambow Education, in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission today, also said it will conduct an internal investigation in response to an allegation by a former employee of "financial impropriety and wrongful conduct" related to the 2008 acquisition of a training school.

Robotic fish feeder reduces monthly flushings chores, guaranteed
Here's a concept fish owners (or fish who are owned by children) wish was real: a robotic fish feeder. A unit like the Fifer would probably serve a pond better than a fish tank as it's designed to deliver the good stuff to as many fish as possible. Sound like a simple job? It's actually deceptively complex. Not only will the Fifer feeding robot emit sounds that'll attract the fish to it, but it'll gauge how many fish there are near it, and how much to dispense out of its "feeding delivery circle." After that, it'll scurry off to the next feeding area using water jets.
The Fifer feeding robot is a design by Ran Xiangfei. Check out the gallery below for more on the Fifer robotic fish feeding system. Yanko Design, via BotJunkie

It was November 2013…a large Orlando hotel conference room was packed with friendly faces. My best customers, students and partners had come from around the world at my invitation for a jam packed weekend of learning and growing together. There was no denying I was visibly nervous and you could tell I had barely slept the night before. In fact, I had never done anything like what I was about to do. Over 350 friendly faces were watching me step into a role I wasn't yet convinced I was ready for.
Surely there must have been some doubt in the room as we started the event. Would it all be worth it?
I can count on one hand the times I've been more nervous in my life. I've been on stage in front of audiences before, but never anything quite like my first CES event where every person in the crowd was there because I had asked them to come see what my team and I had planned. Each attendee had decided to spend their money, get on an airplane or drive long distances, leave their families and routines in order to be there.
No pressure, right?
Let's skip to the end of the story:
You can ask literally ANYONE who was there. It was powerful.
In order to get the true sentiments of those who attended we anonymously asked (via poll) all who attended a couple simple questions.
We asked "Should we do this again?" and, "Would you come back?"
The responses poured in – virtually 100% "YES".
We listened -and we got a bigger room for our September 2014 CES event. Tickets sold out in under a day months in advance of the event. I didn't even send the invite to my full mailing list before it was sold out. I'm still in shock.
None of us should be surprised at the power of face to face gatherings though – it's actually a biblical concept.
I've learned recently that ancient Jewish wisdom has a concept that explains the value of live (face to face) interaction as opposed to the alternatives of written, phone calls or even live video chat. I learned of this concept from my favorite Jewish author Rabbi Daniel Lapin. In the Hebrew language, the word for "face" and the word for "inside" are the same word. The significance of these overlapping words is simply this:
You can't tell what's really going on inside someone until you see them in person – or face to face. With over 50 facial muscles, we communicate incredible amounts of information very quickly when meeting others. This helps us truly decide who we can and can't trust, who we want to get to know better and who to avoid.
You can't duplicate this with a phone call, an email or even an online chat.
Here are just some of the things I saw happen in front of my eyes at CES 2013 that NEVER would have happened otherwise:
And that's not even listing the incredible content, ideas and strategies that were shared openly by all the entire time – with NO big pitches for products to purchase.
The September 2014 event is sold out, so this isn't a ploy to sell you a ticket (although you can get the next best thing which is full access to all of CES via online live stream. It's on sale until Aug 1st here):
Instead, I want to reinforce the fact that there's no replacing face to face – even in our age of virtual meetings, email and live streaming. If you aren't "getting out" and physically surrounding yourself with real people who encourage and inspire you, then you are missing out on some of the greatest energy boosting opportunities you'll ever experience. Come see the faces of my partners, students and readers if you get a chance. You'll see we are on a mission and we want you to join us.
Alternate title 1: Marketing while still being able to look at yourself in the mirror…it's not too late
Alternate title 2: Why the good guy are winning more often online
Mark my words -
I predict that the era of mega Internet Marketing Launches is coming to a close. They will eventually die an ugly and slow death because WE the consumers will demand it and literally FRY those who go against the wave of angry victims that nearly all big launches create.
What's an IM Launch? If you don't know what an IM Launch is I'll sum it up for you. The same list of 15-20 "gurus" all cooperate to launch high price tag product after product to hopeful online entrepreneurs. The "gurus" take turns propping up each others big launches while giving away massive prizes to each other for the most affiliate sales. Endorsements flow like water from one "guru" to the next for each big launch without even so much as reading a summary of what the product contains. Email sales copy is "copy/pasted" and there's a BUY NOW before it's all over edge to each "launch".
While there will always be suckers willing to pay $X,XXX for each sharply packaged digital course, here's what's going to change very soon:
The ever growing list of SMART CONSUMERS in the IM niche (I hope this includes you) are going to start using their ever increasing online influence to tell their ever growing loyal audiences to STAY AWAY from the shiny objects. And the growing trend is that consumers are NAMING NAMES and ending the careers of those deserving of termination.
I've developed some standards that I think we need for the entire industry as consumers and as creators of "online business growth" content:
1) If the training is digitally delivered, make it affordable. If it's SOOO great, you'll have plenty of people who want one-on-one coaching to grow the biz and that coaching (if it's good) can be worth more money later to your top students. This is good marketing, good business, and starts things off on the right foot with nervous students.
2) No bright shiny objects allowed (cut the graphics crap, cut the false scarcity, the exotic backgrounds etc.) As buyers we don't care – or at least we SHOULDN'T! If you DO actually buy into flashy presentation and care what car your "guru" drives shame on you. YOU are the sucker and you will soon be waving good-bye to what little cash you have left.
3) Start small, grow slow, & make sure it's not going to be saturated before you start sharing it with us. In other words, no more big launches on unproven and unreliable concepts. PROVE it first by rolling it out to people who trust you…we'll buy later once you have REAL testimonials from real people and can prove that you are onto something worthy of mass attention. I'm blessed that I've come up with THREE such concepts in my ten years of doing this business. I don't trust ANYONE who comes up with a new concept every few months!
4) Recruit your early successful students to present their ideas to the rest of us as their businesses grow. Let the content GROW as new creative ideas and people come on board. Commit long term to things you believe in and produce results.
5) Hire successful students to monitor the MANDATORY INCLUDED discussion forums and let everyone hang out and learn there.
6) With rare exception, there should be no time limits on refunds for online courses. If the course is SOOO great it should still be working six months from now. We should still be seeing new success stories then as well and the content should still be getting updates for relevance.
7) End guru worship. Showing off the stuff you have does not impress the kind of customer that you'll need if you want to build a real business.
8) Your "expert testimonials" are crap. Show us real people giving their FIRST EVER real testimonial. Those are the ones that matter.
Am I forgetting anything?
How can YOU help make this a reality? STOP BUYING STUFF THAT YOU KNOW IS GARBAGE.
Lesson for my "expert" colleagues: If you aim your marketing at idiots you'll soon have an audience of the same.
I'd love to read your comments on this one! Use the comment button above and add your thoughts.
There's a secret that a few of us have figured out and you need to know the big secret as well. Some who read this post will think I'm nuts, but I'm O.K. with that.
I'm making a great living selling a bunch of products and services every week and helping thousands of people around the world succeed as well. The odds are, anyone who calls me crazy is also stuck scratching their heads in amazement at my success while they endure a job they hate.
I'll take my life over the "haters" any day – thank you very much.
The "Big Secret"
My 13 year old came home from a youth event recently and he had a long verbal list of complaints about the evening. It was typical stuff for a teenage brain, but it helped me connect some business dots in my own head as I let him rattle off his list of reasons why things hadn't gone well that night.
After he was done and just before I went into "consoling dad mode", I asked one simple question that I think annoyed him a bit, but it made my point.
I asked, "If you think back through the entire story you just told me what did nearly every sentence have in common?"
Without even hearing his story I'll bet you can figure it out right?
If not, you'll figure it out in a minute.
First, let's make a list of all the stuff that virtually none of your customers, prospects, readers, fans, clients, video viewers, Facebook and twitter friends or online followers actually care about:
99.9% of them don't truly care…
…get the point?
So what do they care about?
They are actually asking themselves some simple questions that read something like this:
"Can this person/product/service HELP ME get from where I am now to where I want to be, and how painful will the journey be?"
"Can I learn to trust this person/product/service? …because I don't yet."
"What is the cost of skipping all this for now and coming back to it later?"
"Exactly how will my life be better if I do this? Worse if I don't?"
"What can I expect if I do/don't 'pull the trigger'?"
"Does this person/product/service actually CARE or are they just trying to get my money?"
"What is the unbiased reputation of this person/product/service?"
To be a success online means leading. To LEAD an online audience means helping your readers/followers/prospects answer the above questions in your favor.
That's the big secret.
Stated more plainly – success doesn't come to those who place themselves at the center of the situation. It's NOT about you – and if you make it about YOU, you will almost certainly fail.
Further evidence of this simple yet powerful "secret" can be found in two best sellers: The Holy Bible, & "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie <-affiliate link
The rest of the story:
The next week when dropping my son off at the same weekly event I reminded him, "It's not about you – remember our talk."
He had a FANTASTIC evening.
In late 2012 I passed the ten year anniversary of being "self employed".

This was a Great little book, so much information in so little space!
As always, a true pleasure to deal with someone as competent and
straightforward as you.
I have been personally getting back on track lately.
I lost my job on the 31st of Jan of this year and have been prioritizing our
families life ever since.
Not losing my goal of being and staying on course with our amazon, ebay and
other revenue streams.
We have moved 98% of our product to FBA and I find I have a LOT more time to
do the things you outline in your book here.
I am able to be home with the kids (4) and (6) little girls every day.
The revenue from our ventures is slowly building and like the great big
wheel turning, is picking up speed all the time.
You are a great teacher and have so many great ideas.
I have learned so much from you in just a few short months.
THANKS Jim!
Chad Glaser
Hi Jim,
Loved, loved, loved your take on life lessons. I found them inspirational and succinct… Looking forward to reading it again and again – keep up the great work.
L. Schedler
Just read "Ten Years, Ten Lessons" and I must say it was very compelling. I'm a bit older than you (49) and all but one of my three daughters is out on their own. I have always provided for my family and have been married to the love of my life for almost 25 years but…I have also been on the 40, 50, 60 hour a week JOB cycle the entire time. I felt myself reflecting on this after reading this and I do have regrets about not being around enough for my family. One business trip after another, weeks on the road etc have taking their toll over the years. I am going to send a copy of this to each of my girls (with your permission) in the hopes that they will gain some insight about what it means to really be successful. Thank you for being a truly authentic beaming light of hope Jim.
R. Walling
Read your new book. It's fantastic! I love that it's short and to the point with great insights from your experiences in business.
Tom C.
I really enjoyed this book. It's uplifting and informative, I think you will do well with it on Amazon. I recently purchased your course 'The Proven Amazon Course'. Hope to be following in your footsteps soon. I like and appreciate your philosophy in your business but more importantly how it seems to come across in your life. Thanks for sending your latest book.
Nancy A.
As always, great info!
What I like about you is that you're like a filter of great ideas. I receive a lot of emails from internet marketers and some send out emails like 2 or 3 times a week, I used to read a lot of them, but now days i just don't have time, except when it's from you, i always read them, you're the only one I took the time to put in my safe email list, to make sure I get your email. Sometimes you might go a week without sending an email but when you do, it's always valuable information and I make sure to read them.
I remember back in college in 2002, I had little money, when you had the silent sales machine book, I bought it and it was unique, and started reading your newsletter, I started making some money and saw how you grew, and then the mysilentteam.com came out, also with great info, and then the proven ebay course. So you only had products that you knew people were going to be successful and value, and that's why whenever you have something new, I always bought it, because I knew it was going to work. And I've never seen that with anybody else. So it all boils down to trust. And I trust you, in everything you do and say.
Julian T.
(reply from Jim: Thanks Julian – it looks like we go WAAAAY back! We STILL have the "Silent Sales Machine" book! It's been updated 7 times since then! Get it here for only $5
I have just read your Ten Years & Ten Lessons, having been sent your way by a friend. The timing was just so perfect, and it was such an interesting read, as I am making changes to my business to provide information, on a subject I was so cautious about sharing before.
I realized that I had created a job for myself, and actually admitted to family recently that I enjoyed making my product much like a factory worker on a conveyor belt. It was only after I said it out loud, that it became clear that I was completely restricting my life and income to that of a factory worker, and not the creative success I though I was. I am in the process of changing this, and with this change I know that my business can only grow bigger and make me a lot richer than I am now!
I am so glad I discovered your website today- it has most definitely inspired me!
Many thanks,
Zoe L.
Jim, I'm just starting and while I know a lot of what's in here, there are still great insights re personal and business life.
The small successes one resonated b/c I got a huge fee from one client based on one article I wrote two years ago (before I started my business). Its allowing me to hire some contract assitants while I get started.
I also admire your attention to family. It's too important to ignore yet and too easy to bypass.
The Amazon approach seems sound too. It seems best to get a handle on what to sell and have someone else(partner) do it. I already do the contract assistants rather than hire employees. (Can't afford that anyway!)
And there is no advantage in a large building.
Also, I'm older and a little ornery so I find saying NO a lot easier than most people.
All good stuff.
Thank you! P.S. Re writing long pieces Vs short.
St. Blaise Pascal once apologized to a friend for writing him a long letter.
"I didn't have time," he said, "to write a short one.
The Daley Post
I read your "ten short lessons" and found it not just an interesting read, it quickly and succinctly gives "legs" to the concept that time is truly precious. You accurately and convincingly use examples to make your point. Organizing your limited time in such a way as to unburden it with low priority activity is key to unleashing one's creative energy on the things that give meaning to life… and by example you offer hope to others that they too, with a little concentrated effort, can change their circumstances and make dreams come true.
You did a terrific job in just a few words-

I read your new book last night and what really stood out to me was the need to produce information products and share. more. information.
I tend to lean more towards the conservative side and I think that has been holding me back. Thanks for the gentle reminder that I need to give, give, give to receive.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Susan W.
Jim, just a note to say I really loved what you articulated in the enclosed book, the comments and lessons learned align extremely well with what I have found and am learning with my own business. I have circulated your book on all my social media and my website!
Connie D.
Dear Mr. Cockrum, Just a quick note to thank you for the report you sent me. That along with so much of what you do has been such a help and inspiration to me. I wish you the best, Janna V
Great advice and wisdom from someone who has done it and has the ability to
transfer his knowledge and experience to newcomers. You have always impressed
me as a straight shooter and a successful entrepreneur.
Tom W.
I'm just starting out, but it is clear to me that authenticity is THE big rock if you want to make it online. And, you are a master at demonstrating that authenticity is the name of the game.
Thank you
I just got a private message from someone whose name you'd probably recognize. He and I have something in common. For both of us, a big part of our business is teaching Internet business concepts to individuals and businesses. He's been doing it for far longer than I have though, and he is far more well known than I. I consider him an early mentor in my success. It was an honor hearing from him. Here's what he wrote to me yesterday:
How are you?
I like the way you're getting success stories. How are you getting people to IMPLEMENT so you can GET your success stories?
This is my goal for 2013!
(to get students to implement and get more success stories from students)
-Identity protected
My Reply:
I think my reply would make a good blog post. I won't mention you by name b/c I don't want any negative exposure for you.
I gave it some thought, and I think (it's an educated guess really) that the results I'm getting from students comes primarily from a combination of the foundational education I give up front (for example in my silentsalesmachine.com book – which is where most customers discover me) and a few other factors.
The SilentSalesMachine.com book spends significant time teaching about what DOESN'T work, mixed in with a heavy, and repetitive dose of what I know for SURE does work. I pound it and pound it till they are sick of hearing it. This helps keep my students from falling for other "shiny objects" outside of the tight circle I draw in the sand.
I have the advantage as well of having been in the business a long time (like you), so I can smell a scam a mile away, and I teach my students how to do the same. I'm not one to promote the "latest and greatest" ideas that come along. I let new ideas prove themselves first before I even take a look. My readers trust and respect my opinion b/c I take my time and avoid the "bandwagons" that roll through town.
Finally – don't be too impressed. It takes a lot of ebook buyers to produce one awesome success story. You know as well as I do that on average, people by nature are easily distracted, too busy to be serious, and lack follow through on most resolutions they make – but when I get a serious student who is ready to work we are turning out a LOT of success stories these days!
Great hearing from you-
PS: Use the "Testimonials" link at the top of my blog to see some of the cool stories we've been getting.

I use to have a porn problem but don't have one now. But should i tell people about my past problem? if so, how did you go about telling about it?
I use to have a porn problem but don't have one now. But should i tell people about my past problem? if so, how did you go about telling about it?
God forgives our sins and remembers them no more. Sometimes long after we have been forgiven by God we still carry around guilt and shame that, really, we don't need to.
Why would you feel the need to tell someone else that you used to have a problem with porn? If you have truly repented of it and don't have a problem with it anymore just let it go.
Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood
was shed for me, and that thou bidst me come to thee,
Lamb of God, I come, I come.
I just tell them that I had a problem with Porn, but that YHWH released me from my addiction. Also mention that it wasn't by your own power, but by the power of YHWH, and that all the Glory must be to YHWH. Remember that by the word of your testimony....
Rev 12:11 "They defeated him because of the Lamb's blood and because of the message of their witness. Even when facing death they did not cling to life.
'Y'varekh'kha ADONAI v'yishmerekha.[May ADONAI bless you and keep you.]
Ya'er ADONAI panav eleikha vichunekka.
[May ADONAI make his face shine on you and show you his favor.]
Yissa ADONAI panav eleikha v'yasem l'kha shalom.
[May ADONAI lift up his face toward you and give you peace.]'
Bemidbar 6:24-26
[Numbers 6:24-26]
~Does Predestination mean: Once of the devil, Always of the devil?~
~Limitations in a Christians life are due to limited prayer and limiting obedience~
~Forgiveness has nothing to do with forgetting that moment... it's all about freedom FROM that moment.~
~Your needs activate God's compassion and faith activates God's power~
~Three minutes is a lifetime, if you only have two, too live~
On the other hand, when I finally kicked my drug habit, I felt the need to confess to those whose lives I'd impacted with my actions. Maybe that's not for everybody, but I did think that it was the right thing to do. Confession is very cleansing and can be very helpful in explaining your actions of the past.
Nothing wrong with telling people about it, provided its in the right situation.
I hope this helps.
God bless
