Often marketers get it wrong.
You need to have something a value to market before marketing can work.
In fact, some awesome people and products barely market or advertise at all and still get great press and many customers.
Why? They're so good, we can't ignore them.
My hairstylist. Ed, is one of those people. He's never marketed a day in his life. But if I want an appointment with him, I better plan 6 weeks in advance. All his clients are repeat clients. He makes women look great without a lot of fuss. For me, that's worth a trip into the city and whatever he charges. (I'm pro looking good and very anti-fuss.)
While I am a fan of being seen and telling people about the value you offer, most often, it's best to be really, really good to the few people you work with now so they,
1. come back again and again and,
2. tell others about you
No one can pull the wool over clients' eyes with flashy marketing, but crap service.
That is a very, very expensive and exhausting way to run a business.
Do great work. Tell people about it in smart, valuable, non-annoying ways.
You'll see great things happen.

7/3/2015Amazing game. It's like a 2D Minecraft and its just amazing
6/29/2015I love it! ♥
6/28/2015Great game
6/14/2015It's good, but the Pow Glove is broken. You can't punch things with it. The controls are okay, but a little inefficient.
6/14/2015Pretty cool. It would be completely amazing if you made more of Notch's old games like prelude of the chambered for the Windows phone😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
6/13/2015Como coloca a areia preta
6/8/2015This game is so fun!
6/4/2015Love it. When I first saw it I thought it would be a horrible ripoff of Minecraft. But my friends convinced me to get it. I now love it. Please spread the word of my review. 5* For Days. :-) (EDIT) I look back on this game about months after I haven't played it... Still good, I prefer Minecraft or The Blockheads (sadly not on windows yet) but this game is a good substitute.

Why Alec Baldwin's MSNBC Show May Not Come Back
"Up Late" suffered from anemic ratings and had trouble booking guests even before the network suspended it after the actor and controversy magnet apologized for a reported homophobic slur.
This story first appeared in the Nov. 29 issue of the The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
Alec Baldwin's potentially brief turn as cable news host might be up in the air, but he was struggling well before a paparazzo filmed him Nov. 14 shouting an unconfirmed homophobic slur outside his Manhattan apartment. Before MSNBC pulled the Nov. 15 and Nov. 22 episodes of Up Late With Alec Baldwin, the series was posting lackluster ratings. Five weeks into its 10 p.m. Fridays run, Up Late was down 40 percent from the premiere in both key measurements -- dropping to 395,000 total viewers and 101,000 adults 25-to-54 by its Nov. 8 telecast.
PHOTOS: Alec Baldwin in His Element: 9 Photos of the New York Actor
To his credit, Baldwin, 55, has been helping MSNBC maintain its lead over CNN in the hour -- both are thwarted by Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity -- but another challenge for Up Late has been booking. Despite the host's A-list status, his most noteworthy guests have been Debra Winger and MSNBC host Chris Matthews. (Baldwin's late WNYC podcast boasted Jerry Seinfeld, Lena Dunham and Dick Cavett.)
Baldwin, who apologized for using the term "cocksucker" in a spat with cameramen but denied saying "fag," has an option in his contract to exit after one year. And while MSNBC says Up Late will resume Nov. 29, the host is not convinced. "If the show dies," Baldwin opined Nov. 16, "its fate ends up being no different than the vast majority of startup TV programming."

Recent Estes Park reviews
"Our stay in this home was very nice and comfortable. The home is very modern and spacious. The house has a medieval look and feel to it that makes it very memorable and cool. The scenery is breath taking and memorable because of all the wildlife in the area. Mule Deer, elks, foxes and rabbits are abundant in the area and will come right near the base of the house. The only comments that I will make are the following. The Estes Park area is not really meant for winter staying. The Rocky Mountains national Park is open but unless your wanting to hike, you are at min 3-4 hours away from ski resorts and snowmobiles. Also if you come to this resort area, make sure you get a car that has proper snow tires and all wheel drive. The roads in the area become very slick and the homes are located on steep hills. There were times we could not get up the hills because of the ice on the roads and driveways. The town below is small and nice, but there isn't much to do. You can do the shining hotel tour and a sleigh ride, but that's about it. Also for some strange reason, we could not take showers at the same time. If water was being used anywhere else in the house, the water pressure in the upstairs bathroom shower dropped to a trickle. So it took some juggling in schedules to make sure you had full pressure. The water was always hot, just low pressure if other people were showering. Also be aware that being in the mountains, you will be subjected to major wind gusts that can reach 80 mph. The gusts pummeled the house and area and shook the house. But the house held up beautifully. Overall, I would recommend the house for spring and summer staying. There is no AC for the summer, but the area should be cool enough for staying. Also the Estes Area opens up more in the Summer than the winter. The owner is very responsive to any needs or issues. We had some issues with the driveway and he responded immediately. I would recommend this house to people wanting to stay in the Estes Park Area."Guest: SIRRUNDMC Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 11, 2015View listing
"We had a wonderful stay at AspenHaus! After several nights in a other hotels, it was a delight to arrive in Estes Park and stay at this beautiful lodge home. The 4 bedrooms gave plenty of room for our 6 kids and parents to spread out, and the great room and dining area was delightful to take in the views all around. The home had all that we needed and our hosts were very attentive and helpful. We had wildlife right around the home, and we were close to RMNP. We had a wonderful stay!"Guest: Ben Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 9, 2015View listing
"This home was perfect for our group of 5 adults; close to Estes but offered quiet and beautiful surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and there were little touches rarely found in rentals. We were so sad to leave! Often deer walked by and we had a quick visit from a bobcat as well. Nina was thoughtful, available by phone, and helpful before the trip. The house is even better than the photos! I would highly recommend this property and hope to come back in the future."Guest: Linda and Peter Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 20, 2015View listing
"Our group of 5 adults stayed at The Overlook House from 6/13/15 until 6/20/15. It was a great place to stay. The house was nicely furnished and well equipped with everything we needed and more. The views were fantastic and the outdoor hottub was a good way to relax in the evening. It was quiet and peaceful yet a short drive (under 10 minutes) to town, shopping, grocery, liquor stores, and of course RMNP. The property owner was very responsive when we had a small issue...he was at the house within 10 minutes and corrected the issue. I highly recommend The Overlook House to anyone visiting Estes Park."Guest: Scott T. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 23, 2015View listing

Featuring guided tours, world class camping, great hiking and an absolutely endless supply of beautiful backdrops for family photographs, Estes Park is perfect for those who appreciate the great outdoors. The four trailheads accessible from the town offer fantastic access to the local hiking trails and phenomenal ski slopes, as well.
Within Rocky Mountain National Park alone there are over 100 separate peaks that rise above the height of 11,000 feet. As a result, Estes Park has become a prime destination for climbers and backpackers from across the globe. Strap into a harness, don't forget the crampons and scale some incredible rock faces or, if you're looking for a slightly more tame experience, take some of the winding backpacking trails to the top of these beautiful peaks. Since many of these peaks run directly along the continental divide, climbers can take in the unforgettable sight of watching snow begin its long journey either east to the Atlantic or west to the Pacific.
Estes Park Things to Do
If you're visiting Estes Park in either the spring, summer or autumn, then you'll want to take part in the fantastic trail running scene. While the city does offer a variety of trails that cater to all skill levels, some of the most beautiful scenery is found on two of the more challenging routes, Black Lake Trail and Lumpy Ridge Loop. While the former is an intermediate, 9.6-mile trail, Lumpy Ridge Loop runs for over 10 miles and features a nearly 3-mile change in elevation from start to finish. Black Lake Trail is recommended for those desiring water-centric viewpoints, as it passes by two lakes and a series of waterfalls. Lumpy Ridge, considering its changes in elevation, caters more to those looking to view the world from above as they pass through mountainous ridges and rugged terrain.
Of course, some people will prefer to experience the beauty of Estes Park from the valley below. Since its official sanctioning by the United States government nearly a century ago, Rocky Mountain National Park has served as a habitat to both domesticated and wild horses. A variety of options are available through the park for horseback riders of all levels, including day trips and backcountry horse camping sponsored by the National Parks Office. Those who would prefer to be a bit more independent can set off alone and will find over 260 miles of beautiful wilderness trails for their enjoyment. Both Thunder Lake Trail and Finch Lakes Trail are popular among vacationers and locals. These trails are accessible from the Wild Basin Trailhead, which is easily found from multiple park entrances.

However, I forgot to take the ring off and washed my hands, later that day I started to notice odd things on the surface of the ring.

I loved this ring when I first got it. The stone is huge and heavy, but the metal was very light. As the days went on, though, I started to notice a few scratches on the stone. This got worse and worse and now the stone is no longer shiny and looks almost like it has been covered with clear nail polish that is now chipping off.Read More

It was also at this meeting that the first Bluetick Breed standard was created. That same year U.K.C. began excepting for registration the Bluetick as a breed separate from the English Coonhound breed. August 14,1946 was established as the final date U.K.C. would accept registrations of Bluetick whose sire and dam were not both U.K.C. registered.

Product description
A groundbreaking book about personal growth that presents a uniquely effective set of five tools that bring about dynamic change--as seen on "The Dr. Oz Show" "The Tools" offers a solution to the biggest complaint patients have about therapy: the interminable wait for change to begin. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past, but Phil Stutz and Barry Michels employ an arsenal of techniques--"the tools"--that allow patients to use their problems as levers that access the power of the unconscious and propel them into action. Suddenly, through this transformative approach, obstacles become opportunities--to find courage, embrace discipline, develop self-expression, deepen creativity. For years, Stutz and Michels taught these techniques to an exclusive patient base, but with "The Tools, " their revolutionary, empowering practice becomes available to every reader interested in realizing the full range of their potential. The authors' goal is nothing less than for your life to become exceptional--exceptional in its resiliency, in its experience of real happiness, and in its understanding of the human spirit. "An 'open secret' in Hollywood . . . [Stutz and Michels] have developed a program designed to access the creative power of the unconscious."--"The New Yorker"

Review quote
"With deceptively potent visualization exercises, psychiatrist Stutz and psychotherapist Michels promote a rapid and streamlined method of self-improvement. . . . The clear, user-friendly approach plus a belief that 'the power of higher forces is absolutely real' is a winning combination. Here is the rare self-help book that doesn't end with the self."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) "Barry Michels and Phil Stutz are profoundly talented guides to the inner workings of the psyche. "The Tools" is breakthrough material that ignites your own capacity to transform your life."" --Marianne Williamson" "These tools are emotional game changers; they can help you work through conflicts, get happier, and feel a deep sense of purpose. As simple and practical as they are, they do nothing less than deliver you to your best and most powerful self."" - Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness: A Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness" "Every single thing I've written of any power or merit came through using the tools Barry taught me. Usually counterintuitive, sometimes dangerous, they only changed my life." "- Stephen Gaghan, Academy Award-winning writer of Traffic and writer/director of Syriana"

An Overseas Filipino is a person of Filipino origin who lives outside of the Philippines. This term applies both to people of Filipino ancestry who are citizens or residents of a different country and to those Filipino citizens abroad on a more temporary status.
Most overseas Filipinos migrate to other nations to find employment or support their families in the Philippines. As a result of this migration, many countries have substantial Filipino communities.
Often, these Filipinos are referred to as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). "Global Filipino" is another term of more recent vintage but less widely used.
Former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo applied the term "Overseas Filipino Investor" or "OFI" for Filipino expatriates who contribute to the economy through remittances, buying properties and creating businesses.
Around 9.5 million to 12.5 million overseas Filipinos are the estimated count worldwide or about 11% of the total population of the Philippines as of 2010.
More than a million Filipinos try their luck each year to work abroad through overseas employment agencies and other programs, including government-sponsored initiatives. A majority of them are women applying as domestic helpers and personal service workers. Others emigrate and become permanent residents of other countries. Overseas Filipinos often work as doctors, physical therapists, nurses, accountants, IT professionals, engineers, architects, entertainers, technicians, teachers, military servicemen, seafarers, students, caregivers, domestic helpers, fast wood workers especially in the middle east and maids.

Once established in a community, PDSA maintains a service for as long as demand continues. Feedback from clients is valued and PDSA responds promptly to complaints in a fair and open manner.
For PDSA supporters
Donors are PDSA's lifeblood and their contribution is valued and acknowledged accordingly. PDSA is always conscious of its charitable status and purpose, and uses all its resources prudently.

For PDSA employees
All HR policies have universal application and all employees are treated with fairness and respect. All employees receive a fair level of remuneration and are provided with a safe environment and sufficient resources to fulfil their roles.
For PDSA suppliers and partners
PDSA only works with companies and individuals who are demonstrably reputable and whose activities do not have an adverse impact on the charity's objects.

This is a slightly different 'Crave' than usual, as we're not sending you to a specific bar or café or restaurant, instead we're just urging you to eat street food.
We're sure that the majority of you have tried street food when travelling through South and/or Central America and South East Asia, but for those of you who weren't quite ready for it, next time please: just embrace it.
We're focusing on street food in Thailand today, just for fun.
You can usually tell from the line in front of a street food vendor how good their treats are, so if you're not super sure what you want to eat or who to buy from, just follow the crowds.
We always suggest trying whatever smells the best or is the most adventurous, but if you're a little delicate, stick to a vegetarian option.
Our favourite street food experiences in Thailand have been Chinese-style deep fried donuts, egg noodles in Tom Yum broth, Pad Si Ew, Som Tum salad and the ever-faithful Pad Thai.
Apart from the satisfaction you get with really good food, there's something about sitting on a corner consuming a meal that cost you just a dollar that simply can't be replicated at home.

Discrete Manufacturing (ERP)
The simplified definition of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is a set of applications that automate finance and human resources departments and help manufacturers handle jobs such as order processing and production scheduling. ERP began as a term used to describe a sophisticated and integrated software system used for manufacturing. In its simplest sense, ERP systems create interactive environments designed to help companies manage and analyze the business processes associated with manufacturing goods, such as inventory control, order taking, accounting, and much more. Although this basic definition still holds true for ERP systems, today its definition is expanding. Today's leading ERP systems group all traditional company management functions (finance, sales, manufacturing, and human resources). Many systems include, with varying degrees of acceptance and skill, solutions that were formerly considered peripheral such as product data management (PDM), warehouse management, manufacturing execution system (MES), and reporting. During the last few years the functional perimeter of ERP systems began an expansion into its adjacent markets, such as supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM), business intelligence/data warehousing, and e-business, the focus of this knowledge base is mainly on the traditional ERP realms of finance, materials planning, and human resources. The foundation of any ERP implementation must be a proper exercise of aligning customers'' IT technology with their business strategies, and subsequent software selection.

In the Internet age, server farms and data centers have
sprawled across the globe to serve millions of customers.
However, it's rare to find a global company offering premium
locations and providing accessibility to many carriers all in one
Equinix (
) is one of the few.
The Silicon Valley firm supplies the physical space as well as
power, cooling and access to high-speed Internet lines to more
than 4,500 clients worldwide.
"They don't own any IT equipment," said Todd Weller, managing
director of equity research at Stifel Nicolaus. "They don't take
any responsibility for managing or maintaining that IT equipment.
That's all done by the customers who are going in and out of
Equinix's data center. It really is about the
Primo Real Estate
While many companies build their own server farms, often
located in remote areas, they use Equinix because of the fast and
easy interconnectivity they can have with other providers in
prime locations around the world. Equinix calls it its
Among its clients areAmazon (
),Apple (
),Facebook (
) andNokia (NOK).
"The reason customers go with Equinix is because within
Equinix's data centers, there are lots of carriers and network
providers. They go there and they pay a premium because they
value being able to connect with all these different networks and
service providers," Weller said.
Amazon builds most of its own data centers. But Amazon Web
Services, which is Amazon's cloud computing service, uses points
of presence and infrastructure inside Equinix.
"They have on-ramps to their cloud in various Equinix data
centers so that customers within Equinix can get onto Amazon in a
more secure, faster fashion," Weller said.
Another advantage for companies is that the data centers
provide a neutral venue of exchange for various service
One of the strongest areas of growth for Equinix has been the
financial services sector, amounting to 25% of its revenue in the
last quarter.
"Financial services had a record bookings quarter, driven in
part by electronic trading deployments in key cities around the
globe. Today, over 75 exchanges and trading platforms are part of
this driving ecosystem," said Equinix CEO Stephen Smith during
the third-quarter earnings conference call.
The company won new contracts with the New York Stock Exchange
and the Russian Stock Exchange. It also expanded its footprint in
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Sydney and Singapore.
"Our customers recognize the value gained by being adjacent to
key customers and vendors and a wide choice of networks that
connect them to end points around the globe," Smith said. "New
market participants are also driving growth in this vertical, as
new global regulations will require over-the-counter derivatives
to move onto electronic trading platforms."
Another area of expansion is in the networking space. Network
providers have been pairing traffic and establishing
cross-connects between mobile ecosystem members while expanding
network density internationally. Several major providers added
their main fiber routes directly into Equinix's London data
Equinix generates about 60% of its revenue from the Americas,
23% from Europe and 17% from Asia-Pacific. The Asian market
experienced the fastest growth, with revenue jumping 25%
year-over-year during the last quarter. The company expanded its
position in China thanks to its acquisition of Asia Tone as well
as opening a new data center in Shanghai.
"They really are the only global provider of carrier-neutral
data-center services," Weller said. "The secular drivers, (such
as the) growth of Internet, cloud computing, mobile Internet, all
that stuff is global in nature.
"If you talk to their competitors, they will tell you that
Equinix has a big advantage when it comes to a company with
global requirements that wants to go to one provider."
The U.S. is a more mature market, while Europe is the
second-fastest-growing zone after Asia.
"It's very important for the company to grow global-scale land
reach," said Smith during a recent industry conference.
"We're working on a global implementation of a process
redesign, streamlining how we do everything in the company," he
said. "We're basically taking all the acquisitions we've done
over the last 13 years and designing an end-to-end process to
make it simple for customers to get quotes from us, get pricing
from us, get contracts from us, so we can collect cash at the end
of the day."
The company has started deploying this project this year and
will do the remainder in 2014.
Going REIT
But while acquisitions allow the company to add new countries
or areas, 60% to 70% of Equinix's growth comes from their
existing customers.
"I would consider acquisitions to be incremental to growth,
but it's definitely more of an organic growth story," Weller
Building out data centers is a very capital-intensive task.
That's also one of the reasons why Equinix hasn't been able to
achieve positive free cash flow in prior periods. However, the
company says it plans to be free-cash-flow positive in 2013.
Equinix also announced late last year that it's pursuing
avenues to convert to a real estate investment trust, or REIT,
status. It expects that to happen in 2015.
Having the REIT status will bring significant tax advantages,
but the company is also required to pay out nearly all of its
income as dividends to shareholders. This prospect is one of the
contributing factors to Equinix's strong share-price run-up in
recent months.

In response to Flapjack07's comment:
Would you rather see Brentz and Bradley than Victorino and Gomes? Bogaerts instead of Drew?
If Brentz, Bradley, and Bogaerts were major league ready, I'd love nothing more. But Brentz has played all of 5 games in AAA and struggled. The other two haven't played a game above AA. I can't wait to see these guys and the others at Fenway, but in all likelihood they need more seasoning in the minors first. I'm pretty sure the team knows their prospects and their readiness better than anyone here.
For years the BDC whine brigade has been telling us how much the team and the fans overrate our prospects...and now, suddenly, people are upset because we're not fielding an entire team of minor leaguers. Unbelievable.
I think signing Gomes to 2 yrs. is the time that the prospects mention above will be MLB ready. The Victorino deal is the just in case factor, that Ellsbury will be gone by season's end. Within 2 years time we may see one the above prospects being a FT OF'er.

Such changeable weather! Today it is wet, dull mild but very windy in Bristol and the forecast is for cold when the sun comes out in the afternoon. I think I will resign myself to conservatory gardening today. I have a lot of evergreens which will still be dripping in the wind this afternoon making anything I attempt uncomfortable to say the least. The duckpond is forming outside the kitchen and the wind is howling down the chimney in my study as I type.
Mild in Bristol today too so I have been weeding among my thousands of snowdrops and examining the sefseeds to see if by chance I have a new hybrid worth a fortune, having seen the pictures of people paying £100 for one bulb. The famous onee called "Trym" was found in a garden in the village next to where I live so there is a precedent!
Green wheeliebin full up. I checked on my trials for Mr. Fothergills Nation of Gardeners project and pea meteor plants have all disappeared in the frost but pansy "Cool Wave" is flowering well in the cold weather so did some deadheading. The underplanting of tulips is
showing in the baby bath. Looking at the leaves I think I may have planted daffodils! Perhaps it was a mixture.
That is it, Fritillary! Must try and find it in my hundreds of gardening books! Bristol is dull this morning but hope to get out in my garden later and fill up the green wheeliebin.
I think they will be quite ready to bring in now Daryl. A famoue Edwardian lady gardener, wrote in her book at the beginning of the last century that she always did this at the end of January in her country estate to send to London on the train for flowers for the London house and sice I read her book i have been doing the same. I think she was called Mrs. Earle.
Twigs from my forsythia bush now ensconced in my study where hyacinths from my friend's pots are perfuming the space nicely. My pale pink pelargoniums look good in the kitchen beside my Xmas orchid.
Red sky this morning but it was 10 degrees, now going down gradually and getting brighter so looks like I can get some gardening done today. My show of flowers yesterday certainly has boosted my enthusiasm which is high anyway, The birds are singing away too.
Flumpy1 those Easter eggs usually appear after Xmas in our shops but some do have them all the year round. I did taste one about forty years ago and it was much too sweet for my taste then, so no doubt would not appeal to me now, but I do like some very dark Belgian chocolates at Xmas.
Lots of pics of my different species of snowdrops and other flowers in the garden this dull but mild day in Bristol.
Showing off my snowdrops to my friend.
Already 5degrees and climbing out there. Bristol City are on the telly this afternoon playing in the fourth round of the FA Cup so there should not be any visitors then but my friend is coming this morning sso might get him to take a picture of me among my snowdrops, scrutinising the new progeny.just in case I ever find an unusual one! I know I like so much to know the provenance of varieties. My friend from the AGS whose grandfather bred the Bishop of Llandaff dahlia is so proud of his achievement.
