Ranking Your Videos and Getting Huge Results Without Backlinks?Posted On Aug, 20th 2015
I'm not going to hide the truth. YouTube marketing and the process to ranking videos is starting to change.
Back when I first got started with YouTube we could upload any video and get it to rank on page 1 quicker than its taking me to write this email.
That has obviously changed. It's still easy, however, those shortcut technique don't work anymore.
My YouTube Formula Works In Random Niches! (Proof)Posted On Feb, 13th 2015
I'm in the business of selling ice cubes to people who live in Antarctica. Will video marketing work for my business?
This is one of the most popular questions I get asked and as long as your business offers something people ACTUALLY want or need then YES it will work for you!
Oh and if you own a business that sells ice cubes to people who live in Antarctica it may be time to look for a new product to sell. Sorry to break it to you but you might be in a terrible business.
I was a little surprised
How To Make A Wireless Lav Microphone For Under $20Posted On Jan, 02nd 2015
Audio is among one of the most important parts of making a video (besides the content of course!), but getting an external microphone can be expensive (around $400-$600). Why spend $500 on a wireless mic when you're just starting out?
You don't have to! Oh YEA! In fact you can get a professional sounding lapel mic for under $20.
Im Back! YouTube Reinstated My Account After The Appeal!Posted On Feb, 04th 2014
It's true YouTube and I made up! In under 24 hours of writing my blog post I was able to get my account reinstated and all flags removed off my videos! This whole experience sent me through a wide range of emotions but I am glad I went through it and came out on top! In today's post I am I will cover everything from why my account REALLY got flagged and suspended, how I got it back to normal, my thoughts about YouTube and their policies, and what to do if this happens to you. So let's jump into it!
YouTube, You Suspended Me. But Why?Posted On Feb, 03rd 2014
UPDATE – I got my account back, here's the update!
It's a gut wrenching feeling when you see a years worth of hard work thrown right out the window and what makes it worse is that is was done by your best friend. Yes, YouTube is my businesses best friend and we were getting along great! Together we had gained over 4,000 awesome subscribers, just about 300,000 views and we were proud to be teaching others how to grow their business using YouTube ethically. I emphasis ethically because there are a lot of people looking to make a quick buck and trick others into scams, buying thousand of fake views, filling YouTube with spam and harassing others. Not only was I against all that, but I strongly encouraged others to use YouTube ethically and stay within their guidelines and rules. In fact, in one of my last videos titled "How To Get More Views On YouTube – Top 9 Techniques", I gave 9 ethical ways to get more views and directly told people not to buy views. As you can see, YouTube and I got along great, we had a great respect for one another, and quite frankly…we loved each other (don't tell my wife). In today's post I am going to tell you the story of how it all fell apart in 72 hours.
PROOF – Taking Up Several Spots Of Google (Live Marketing Challenge Update)Posted On Sep, 26th 2013
It's been a while since we've done an update of the Live Marketing Challenge, partly because I wanted to give the directory profile ranking process some time to actually work, partly because I have been super busy with some other projects, and partly because I have been lazy. Either way, this update is ready to rock-n-roll so let's get into it!
How To Rank Your Directory Profiles – Live Marketing ChallengePosted On Aug, 05th 2013
ANNNNDDD moving right along in the Live Marketing Challenge we are going to show you to rank your directory profiles. This means you can get your Yelp, Yellowpages, SuperPages, and ANY other directory profile to come up on the first page of Google. Just like this picture to our right. There are two major benefits to this: first, which is pretty obvious, you can get your information displayed on the first page of Google, and second, you are pushing your competition right off the first page leaving only your online properties to be found. Can you imagine only having your listings on the first page of Google? Pretty sweet, right?
How We Ranked This Local Business Video – Local Marketing Challenge #7Posted On Jul, 10th 2013
It's time! Time for what you ask? Time to take up several spots in Google and we are starting with video! In fact, I have already started the video ranking campaign for Kat's Yoga Studio in the Live Marketing Challenge and I am pleasantly surprised with the results. I will be going through all the steps we took (and giving you a 60 minute training video) to get the video ranked, but first I want to show you the results we got and give you a timeline of how long it took. We have a ton of info packed into this post, so let's begin.
Progress Report #3 – Rankings, Standings and Results Before Adding Ranking PowerPosted On Jun, 06th 2013
This post is going to be short and to the point. Before we start ranking everything I want to show you where we stand and how we are positioned. Just from the minimal work we did we have managed to get some decent rankings. In my opinion this is happening because we picked keywords that were not too competitive, but still got searched a decent amount. If you live in a big city this process will be a little more difficult due to competition, but if you pick the less competitive keywords in that big city you will make your life a lot easier. So here is where we stand…
How To Make The Perfect Local Video Ad – Live Marketing Challenge Video Marketing Part BPosted On May, 29th 2013
We are continuing right along with the Live Marketing Challenge and in this post we are going over Kat's marketing video. When you are creating videos they should be designed in a certain format to be able to convert your viewers into callers and customers. In this post I will show you exactly what we did with Kat's video and how you can do the same thing to get the best marketing video possible.

A Must Read - Share
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When a man regarded as the deadliest sniper in U.S. history detailed his kills in a bestselling autobiography, he also included details about a 2006 incident in which he says he punched a guy he called "Scruff Face" — later identified as former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura.
Besides sorting out what happened in the bar, jurors will have to assess whether Ventura's reputation was damaged and whether Kyle used Ventura's name to make a profit.
Court documents show Kyle's book had earned royalties of more than $3 million as of June 30, 2013, and the judge already has ruled

Daily Journal
HOOVER, Ala. – Benardrick McKinney is another example of Dan Mullen finding a diamond in the rough in a rural Mississippi town.
Mississippi State was the only school to offer the former Rosa Fort High School quarterback and has developed McKinney into one of the top linebacker talents in the country.
"He plays with an unbelievable chip on his shoulder," Mullen said. "I think he was a two-star recruit out of high school and wasn't really recruited at all. We saw that this guy had a tremendous ability and growth potential. He plays with that chip of wanting to prove everybody wrong."
McKinney has packed on 37-pounds of muscle onto his 6-foot-5 frame during his four years in Starkville.
Now a 245 pounder, he has been selected to watch lists for the Butkus, Lombardi and Bednarik awards as well as the Nagurski Trophy this preseason. He is also considered the top underclassman inside linebacker by ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr.
"It's a great honor, not really coming from much in Tunica," McKinney said. "My mom always told me to be humble, so I just take it day by day and just try to be a great player."
During the past two seasons, McKinney has tallied 173 tackles, including a team-leading 71 last season. He also topped the Bulldogs with seven tackles for loss while adding 3.5 sacks and recovered two fumbles.
"He is the vocal, emotional leader of the defense with how he gets out in front and encourages guys," Mullen said. "He plays the game with a passion. He will do whatever it takes for the team to win."
High expectations
MSU quarterback Dak Prescott has drawn high praise and even a few Heisman Trophy candidate comparisons from fans and college football analysts alike heading into his junior campaign.
But no one is setting higher goals than Prescott himself.
"I have high expectations for myself," Prescott said. "I'm going to continue to do what I do, work hard, get better and try to be the best quarterback that I can."
Prescott started seven games in 2013 and led the Bulldogs with 2,822 yards of offense and 25 touchdowns while splitting time with Tyler Russell behind center.
"He has an unbelievable work ethic," Mullen said. "That hasn't slowed down. He had a good season last year and had success. He's a guy that looks and is critical on himself of what he does well, what he does poorly and he's constantly working to improve upon his skill set."
Long-awaited return
Senior safety Jay Hughes is anxious for the Bulldogs' season opener with Southern Miss on Aug. 30 for several reasons.
Not only did Hughes graduate from Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg but his father and State safeties coach, Tony, coached the Golden Eagles in 2008.
However, Hughes is simply excited to be back on the field after suffering a season-ending ruptured Achilles in the opener against Oklahoma State last year.
"I can't wait, it's been a minute," Jay Hughes said. "Week one, game one, play six, I remember it. I have been hungry ever since. I've been working hard. I've been consistent with my rehab and staying on top of it. It just feels good to be back with my teammates."

I used to love and swear by Flavor-Doh, but unfortunately they have decided to change there formula. The old product worked great, it had the consistency of play-doh. You could easily get a small pinch of the product, wrap the pill and be done with it. No mess, no fuss, just easy.
I have been using flavor-doh for over two years and as such, I order 6 containers at a time. The last shipment I got is garbage! The product is thin and sticky. It is nearly impossible to wrap a pill, and when you do get it wrapped, you have more on your fingers and hands than you do the pill. I checked the other containers, and it is all the same.
I emailed the manufacturer over two weeks ago and never got a reply. I will be sure to blast them on any website that sells there product.
i have used pill pockets before ordering the flovor-doh but i will use Flavor-Doh from now on. My dogs love it and it is so easy to use
Most cost effective way for me to get pills down my dogs. Everyone lines up for a "treat".

CHARLESTON?- At the heart of the America's small business sector are self-
employed and non-employer businesses, which comprise approximately half of America's businesses. These small businesses, employing 50 people or fewer, fill niche markets, innovate, and contribute to the competition in free markets. These small businesses also give individuals the chance to achieve their own versions of the American dream, and allow entry into employment by women and minorities, as well as other individuals who might otherwise be shut out of the labor market.
To help potential entrepreneurs reach their goal of small business ownership The University of Missouri Extension Small Business Development Center, in conjunction with the Workforce Investment Board of Southeast Missouri, is offering, "Starting a Small Business: The First Steps." The class will be Oct. 4 at the Mississippi County Library in Charleston.
Class instructor, Richard Proffer, University of Missouri Extension Business Development Specialist said, "Starting a Small Business: The First Steps" is vital to anyone considering opening a business of any kind. "In one evening we cover a lot of material, including business ownership and planning, government regulations, marketing, and financing, just to name a few subjects. We help participants identify resources that will help them get started in Missouri, and also help them identify areas where they may need special assistance,"?he said.
All participants will receive a notebook containing contact listing of local, state and federal organizations, step-by-step guides, business idea evaluation guides and tips on how to write a business plan.
To register, please call the Extension office at 573-243-3581. Seating is limited for this class.
SBDC/Extension business programs are sponsored by the Small Business Administration and University of Missouri and are open to all interested residents.

I believe that eject button is not control by software. Try loading into BIOS (F2) then trying the eject button. If that does not work there might be something wrong with the switch and the unit might require service. You can also eject the drive through Windows (right click on the drive and select Eject) or if it has a small hole you can use a paperclip to eject it..

Grand Mesa, Colo. (KKCO) --- With extra rainfall this summer and no fire ban on the Grand Mesa, campers are free to add some warmth and fun to their nights in the woods.
Loriann Gieseman said campfires are what her daughter looks forward to the most when they go camping.
"That's a big thing because she wants to sit around the campfire at night and make her s'mores and roast hot dogs," Gieseman said. "I've been up here before when there was a fire ban and we couldn't do that."
Gieseman and her family stayed at Island Lake in Grand Mesa Wednesday night and they said they were thankful there is no fire ban.
"Came not too long ago with some friends and we couldn't have a fire because they had a fire ban," said camper Daniel Lee Miller. "So it's nice to be able to actually sit have a fire again and sit around that, make s'mores and what not."
Grand Valley Park Ranger Sam Manning said last winter's snowfall along with the extra rain this summer has lessened the possibility of wildfires to a level lower than normal for this time of year.
"Camping can be camping," he said. "It's always tough when there's a fire ban going on and people can't have fires and they're up here trying to have family fun."
However, Manning said we're not completely in the clear yet.
"There's always chances that it could get really warm and dry out and something could start up," he said.
He recommends being careful about making campfires no matter what the weather is like, which includes using a fire pit and taking the time to make sure the fire is completely out.
"There's always hot embers underneath the fire and sometimes those can spark up two, three days later," Manning said.

Common Ground | Small teacher grants make a big impact in NCW classrooms
An extraordinary group of teachers descended on the Confluence Technology Center Thursday night to receive classroom grants from the North Central Educational Service District Foundation.
Each of the 41 recipients representing schools from across region applied for funding up to $300 for projects that engage students in four areas: STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), literacy, music and arts and post-secondary education. The amount of creativity in the grant applications was inspiring. Even though the grant amounts were small, they mean a lot to teachers who are struggling with tight budgets but finding ways to develop meaningful opportunities for students.

Grand Central: So Much for That Yellen-Tarullo Rift
The Wall Street Journal's Daily Report on Global Central Banks for Friday, Jan. 31
- Fed Begins Transfer of Power to Yellen from Bernanke
- Report Card on the Fed's 2013 Forecasts
- Bernanke Leaves Office Less Popular Than Greenspan When He Left
- Pakistan Central Bank Governor Quits
- Europe Selloff Signals Broader Fears
- Euro-Zone Inflation Falls Back To Record Low
- ECB Survey Shows Euro Zone Credit Conditions Improve.
- Rising Japanese Inflation May Reduce Odds of More BOJ Easing
So much for that rift between Janet Yellen and Daniel Tarullo.
Mr. Tarullo is the hard-charging Fed governor in charge of its oversight of banks. Ms. Yellen will become Fed chairwoman and Mr. Tarullo's boss Monday after Mr. Bernanke's term ends.
With him playing an important role in bank oversight, the two will need to work closely together and it appears they are on track to do just that. Mr. Tarullo is to administer the oath when Ms. Yellen is sworn in as the Fed's first chairwoman on Monday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
News reports last year stated there was tension between the two.
The Wall Street Journal reported there might have been some tension in the past but it appeared to have been resolved. Ms. Yellen seemed to signal the two were on common ground in a speech in San Diego last year when she endorsed his views on regulation.
Mr. Tarullo is the most senior board governor among top Fed officials, so it makes sense that he'll administer the oath. But the symbolism of the act flies in the face of the notion that there's tension between these two important decision makers.

Euro-Zone Inflation Falls Back To Record Low. Annual inflation across the 18 countries that shared the euro fell to a record low in January, a development that will increase pressure on the European Central Bank to act more decisively to head off the threat of falling prices.

Analysts don't expect it to happen though. Many see a first quarter inventory correction driving growth back down to 2% or less. By contrast, from Q2 1996 until Q4 1999 it grew above a 3% rate for 15 straight quarters.

One of the more excellent announcements to have coincided with the recent Television Critics Association press tour was Showtime's release about its upcoming Victorian horror series Penny Dreadful. Don't let the reference to "Victorian" throw you off; although it's set in those times, with characters from novels written at that time (including Frankenstein, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and Dracula), it is also said to be a "psychosexual" series.
The upcoming series is created, written, and executive produced by John Logan and executive produced by Sam Mendes, the two who brought us Skyfall. Set in Victorian London. Classic monsters. Psychosexual. Okay, we're in.
Here's the press release:
LOS ANGELES, CA – Some of literature's most iconic figures will step into the light on SHOWTIME in PENNY DREADFUL, a psychosexual horror series created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar® nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road) and Neal Street's Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call The Midwife), it was announced today by David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks. PENNY DREADFUL will begin production in London in the second half of 2013.
In PENNY DREADFUL, some of literature's most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula – become embroiled in Victorian London. The series weaves together these classic horror origin stories as the characters grapple with their monstrous alienation. This project marks Logan and Mendes' second major collaboration, following Skyfall, their recent critically-acclaimed and box office record-breaking James Bond film, which Mendes directed and Logan co-wrote; and their first ever collaboration for television. The project will be produced by Mendes' production company Neal Street Productions.
"John Logan and Sam Mendes are two of the great storytellers of our time," said Nevins. "The visual spectacle combined with the psychological insight in their reimagining of these iconic literary characters seems totally mesmerizing to me. This promises to be a wholly original television show."
Oh yeah, we're definitely in. We'll keep you posted.

Wow. Our experiment is off to a great start—let's see if we can finish it off sooner than expected.
Ryan Avent links to a report that the market for rare stamps is heating up:
The wave of Chinese money that has crashed through the markets for fine wine, art and antiques is now flooding into the altogether sleepier world of stamp collecting. At an auction in Hong Kong this week, a rare block of four stamps from the Cultural Revolution sold for HK$8,970,000 (US$1.1m) — an all-time record for a Chinese stamp or multiple. Including a 15 per cent buyer's fee, the anonymous buyer paid over US$1.3m for the stamps.
This reminds me of something totally unrelated to Ryan's point, namely that it's surprising how inexpensive lots of old stamps are. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a dusty stamp album sitting in one of my bookshelves and realized that I'd never actually opened it up. I don't know where it came from, but it's dated 1940 and I assume it must have been my father's.
Anyway, I took a look inside, and on the very first page there was a stamp from 1851. This was part of the second series of stamps ever released in the United States — issued before the perforated stamp revolution of 1857 — and you'd think it might be worth something, even in used condition. But no. According to this site, it's worth at most either $70 or $7 depending on whether it's orange-brown or dull red. What do you think? Looks like orange-brown to me, which makes it worth $70. Maybe.
Cheap! And that's for one of the earliest stamps ever issued in America. I guess stamp collecting must be a pretty accessible hobby — though they make up for the low prices with a fantastic array of varieties and special issues. Still, a bargain compared to coin collecting.

2015 Knitter's Review Retreat
November 12-15
Inn on the Lake
Canandaigua, NY
Sorry, registration is now full.
Please join us in the bucolic lakeside town of Canandaigua, New York, at the Inn on the Lake, for our 14th year of friendship, relaxation, and inspiration.
Begun in 2002, the Knitter's Review Retreat is a special kind of gathering that mixes inspiration, learning, play, and a good dose of low-stress downtime with your peers. I take great care in stitching together the right blend of people, vendors, and activities to create a weekend that leaves you feeling relaxed, inspired, nourished, and welcomed as part of a community.
This year's workshops provide a mix of essential and exciting techniques, garment fundamentals, and design brainstorming. You'll also find our usual healthy dose of storytelling and silliness. Our esteemed guests include Lorilee Beltman, Amy Herzog, Bristol Ivy, and Nancy Marchant, who is joining us all the way from Amsterdam.
How It Works
The heart of the event is the Weekend Retreat, which runs from November 13-15 and includes a workshop, evening programs, unfettered access to the stash lounge, equally unfettered access to the Saturday afternoon marketplace, participation in our Sunday morning program, plus copious freshly prepared meals, a steady flow of tea and coffee, and a comfortable bed on which to rest your head every night.
For those who wish to arrive early and enjoy a full extra day of activities, including an additional workshop, we also offer the Thursday Extension that begins November 12th.
Please note that no part of the event, from Thursday to Sunday afternoon, is open to the public.
What We'll Do
A choice of four Saturday morning workshops:
Thursday Extension
For those who wish to make a long weekend out of it, our Thursday Extension fits the bill. This smaller gathering begins with a reception on Thursday afternoon, followed by dinner and a special presentation on Thursday night, followed by in-depth workshops running Friday morning and into the early afternoon.
Choose from one of four classes:
- Pick Your Knits and Purls: An Introduction to Continental Knitting In knitting there are various ways to get the job done. If you have a method that you like, that is the right way for you to do it. But if you're curious about the Continental style of knitting, or have tried it and failed, then Lorilee Beltman wants to help. In class we will focus on minimizing your hand motions for a more comfortable and perhaps speedier way to knit. You'll practice the knit stitch then move on to purl, increases, decreases, and ribbing, where efficiency really pays off. You'll even get to try lace, cables, and two-handed colorwork. Skills: This class is ideal for knitters of all levels.
- Sweater Construction Deconstructed In this fabulously geeky sweater class, Amy Herzog explains everything you need to know about drop shoulder, raglan, and yoke construction, along with side-to-side and other funkier constructions. For each construction, she delves into how to make that style work as clothing, from fabric and fit to math and sizing—all in the context of plenty of samples, as usual. Skills: This class is ideal for those who may already have a sweater or three under their belts and want to go further, or for adventurous knitters of all skill levels.
- Knitting Outside the Box: The Extended Session Want to take your knitting even further outside the box? Designer and Brooklyn Tweed alum Bristol Ivy leads the way with an extended, more hands-on version of her inspiring, intermediate-level workshop. You'll brainstorm surprising new shapes, directions, approaches, and combinations of elements. Bristol will walk you through various exercises before learning how to break down your ideas into actual, knittable projects. This extended workshop is a great class if you're interested in design, or just want more time to experiment with all the possibilities knitting has to offer. Skills: This class is appropriate for students who are comfortable with basic knit and purl stitches, increases, decreases, shaping, and stitch patterns.
- Two-Color Brioche and Beyond Learn to work gorgeous two-color brioche with Nancy Marchant, then add increases and decreases to create graceful undulating motifs. You'll experiment with syncopated brioche, brioche crossed stitches, and cables. You'll leave with a sample of entirely new brioche stitch techniques, along with an understanding of how to choose yarns and create your own variations of these motifs. You will leave the class inspired and ready to design your own brioche knitted projects. Skills: Intermediate. Must be comfortable with long-tail cast-on, working in the round, and reading charts.
Weekend Retreat:
$650 single
$540 double (per person)
$490 per person *triple/three people
$470 per person *quad/four people
*These options are most suitable for friends only, as the rooms have two double beds.
I'm happy to match you with a roommate, or you can specify a roommate on your registration form. Please make sure your intended roommate sends in his/her form at the same time as yours—I am unable to hold rooms for missing roommates.
This rate covers everything: all classes and activities, two nights' lodging, all your meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch, plus snacks and beverages throughout the weekend, and all taxes and gratuities.
Thursday Extension:
An additional $320 single
An additional $240 double
An additional $220 triple/three people
An additional $200 quad/four people
If sharing a room, both roommates will need to be registered for the extension. The fee covers everything—meals and snacks, lodging, and all programming.
Rooms feature complementary high-speed wireless Internet, a coffee maker, hair dryer, iron and ironing board (for last-minute blocking, perhaps?), and an in-room safe if you want to hide your cashmere from me. The inn also offers a limited number of lakeview rooms for an additional $40 per night, including tax.
Bringing Family
Non-knitting partners, spouses, friends, or children are welcome as long as they promise not to interfere with your fun—and are willing to entertain themselves except at mealtime. Knitting partners, spouses, friends, and children are also quite welcome as attendees.
We regret we are not able to accommodate children under 12 without a non-participating adult caregiver, as childcare is not available at the inn. Well-behaved nursing babies are always welcome, but once the child is a toddler, it will need a non-participating caregiver.
The cost for adult non-knitting companions sharing a room with a participant is $400 for the weekend, or $580 with the Thursday extension. This includes lodging, meals, snacks, all taxes and gratuities, and the distinct pleasure of staying in a hotel that's packed with knitters. (However, it does not include the pleasure of participating in the evening activities, marketplace, Sunday morning program, or the stash lounge.)
How to Register
Sorry, registration is now full.
Download the above registration form (it's a PDF) and you can fax (888-653-5558) or email it (email@example.com) back to us. If emailing, you must choose PayPal as your payment option, as credit card information is not secure.
Space is limited and fills in a matter of minutes. If you know you'd like to come, take a moment now to familiarize yourself with the class offerings. We're almost always able to accommodate your first or second class choice, but it's helpful if you mark the workshops in order of preference (1 highest, 4 lowest). If you mark only one choice and that class is full, I'll move on to the next registration form.
Getting the Form to Us
You can scan and email your form to email@example.com or FAX your form to us at 888-653-5558. Note: If emailing your registration, choose "Paypal" as your payment option and do not email any credit card information to us. It will not be secure.
What Happens Next?
When I receive your fax or email, I'll send you a quick email. Please note that this is not a confirmation of attendance, only a confirmation that your form was received. This is your cue to sit tight and think good thoughts.
Space is assigned based not only on when your registration form was received but which workshop(s) you requested, and, in the case of shared rooms with a specified roommate, whether or not I am able to accommodate your roommate as well. To keep the group well-balanced, I also apply a quota for returning attendees and newcomers and make the final selection by lottery, if necessary.
By August 28 you will receive a confirmation of your registration status. If you secured a spot at the retreat, your confirmation email will also indicate which class you'll be taking. If you're on the waiting list, do not despair. Cancellations have happened and will likely happen again.
Once your space has been confirmed, your credit card will be charged for the full registration fee. If you're on the waiting list, your credit card will not be charged, or Paypal account invoiced, until your space has been confirmed.
Cancellations are fully refundable until September 15, 2015, at which point they will be subject to a $100 cancellation fee. After October 1, 2015, we regret that all cancellations are non-refundable.
Getting There
The nearest airport is the Greater Rochester International Airport, served by all major airlines including Jet Blue. From Rochester, our inn is a very easy 40-minute drive to the hotel. Albany is three-and-a-half hours away, New York City just a little over five-and-a-half hours—or 27 minutes by plane.
What to Do Nearby
Canandaigua is in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Region. In fact, right next to the inn is the New York Wine and Culinary Center, with a Tasting Room that offers samplings of New York's top wines. And for those who like to get out and stretch their legs each day, there's a paved walking trail that runs along a good length of the lake.
Thanks so much for reading. I hope to see you this fall!
Got Goodies?
P.S. - Do you make knitting-related products that you'd like to place in the hands of more than 100 avid and discerning knitters? We have goodie bags and would love to talk! Email retreat AT knittersreview DOT com and we'll be in touch. Thank you!

Sorry for lack of updates. I just got back from Bangkok yesterday. It was such a blissful trip! Hehe! Anyway, to cut the long story short, I was there for a short visit and some shopping. I guess I need a break after six months of working non stop.
We were lucky this time because we got our colleague in Bangkok to take us around for meals on weekend. At least, we get to sample really good local Thai food at places frequented by locals only.
Aor picked us up from the airport and took us to her favorite restaurant for some crispy roast pork and duck. Try eating it with cold coconut lime – it was heavenly! We went to Wat Arun since I didn't visit this place the last trip in 2009 and it was one of my favorite temples in Bangkok. We took a boat from behind Grand Palace and paid only 4 baht each person to get across. I didn't even know it's that near!
The funny part was to find out how Thai people park their cars. Since there's always space constraints, they would normally double park and don't pull their hand brakes – I think like the French. When people want to get out, the parking attendant would help push the car to let the car inside to get out.
Also, people in Thailand are normally warm (except for an assistant in Naraya with overly sour face) – they greet each other and when you pay for your goods or food, they would offer you salute by cupping both hands like a lotus flower.
Demon god at Wat Arun
The fun part of going to Wat Arun – on our way there, Aor was worried we might be dehydrated due to the hot weather and told us to drink coconut water. We bought a coconut each. I thought we would be standing or sitting to finish the drink first before we hop on the boat, but were sent walking in hasty manner towards the ferry. It was really funny to think that there were 4 girls holding a coconut each and walking hastily towards the pier! And the coconuts were super heavy!
Buddha at Wat Arun – the Hindu and Chinese influence
We got into Wat Arun for free – we actually saved 50 Baht each because Aor spoke to the ticketing officer and gestured us in. Haha! We made up by giving donations at the many donation boxes in the temple and prayed for good health.
Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho
After visiting the magnificent Wat Arun, we took the boat back to Grand Palace and walked towards Wat Pho. Here, we were told that the place is where all the masseurs in the whole of Bangkok learn Thai massage. There's a dual charging system – locals pay only 200 Baht for 1 hour massage but foreigners have to pay 220 Baht for half hour massage. For truly traditional Thai massage, you can come here to try. We didn't because we haven't taken our baths since morning because we have yet to check into our hotel!
At Wat Pho, the reclining Buddha's compound, we could take a bowl of loose coins and placed them in the many alms bowls aligned behind the Buddha leading towards the door. Aor said, we could make a wish then, slowly place the coins till the very last coin in the last alms bowl to ensure our wish is fulfilled!
Monk at Wat Pho
Then, another funny incident happened. As Aor was demonstrating how to lock the door at the ancient door of Wat Pho, she couldn't open the door again. So Gas Stove tried to help her but they couldn't get the latch to come out from the hole, which we think was rather weird. There was no lock or hook whatsoever in the hole but somehow, we couldn't manage to remove the latch. Luckily, there were other doors exiting the temple's compound.. if not, we would probably have to spend the night in the compound where ashes of people were being buried underneath the many stupas and chedis around the temple compound.. creepy!
Kanabnum Restaurant for the locals
Then, we made our way to Kanabnum Restaurant for dinner, one of Aor's favorite restaurants beside the Chao Phraya river and Sang Hee Bridge. We let her do the ordering since she's the expert and we ended having a scrumptious dinner. The green curry chicken is a must order – to be eaten with rice vermicelli. The sweet sour fish with cashew nuts is also nice, so was the phad thai. And don't forget the pork satay! They were delicious! The steamed snake fish in special sauce was okay but it didn't suit my taste bud. But I could see it being ordered on almost every table in the restaurant, so I guess it's a specialty!
Egg omelet with smelly vegetables, phad thai, snake fish in special sauce and green curry chicken
After enjoying our dinner, talking about Thai politics (Aor is a Thaksin supporter!) and horoscopes, we made way to Erawan, to give our offerings to the four faced Buddha. Aor told us to ensure that we make wish carefully as it will come true and exactly what we hoped for. I guess she was right. I did made a wish some 6 years ago when I was there and I somehow think, the gods must have fulfilled it, so this time, I merely offer jossticks, flowers and candles as a symbol of gratitude.
One of the many campaign banners in Bangkok
Then on our way to our hotel, Aor passed by the Suan Lum park – where Suan Lum night market was (it has been relocated to Bangna) she showed us the night street walkers coming out to work. We were told that the lady boys would be standing at one side and women prostitutes on the other. We managed to spot a few lady boys in their skimpiest dress. We were told that some girls went into prostitution willingly, not because they are poor. They just want to earn money the quick way. Not all women are forced to work in prostitution – contrary to what we used to believe.
We thanked Aor for the lovely day and we wouldn't have known so much about Thai culture if not because of her! We check into our hotel late, by midnight. It was pre-election weekend hence, there's no alcohol being served for the night.

16.Description of food items used with the monkey for a 'can you guess what this is'?-type game.
Use of the pause button as needed to allow for repetition, correction, self-correction, multiple opportunities for practice. You can also turn off the volume and teach children to choose the correct item by you reading the word.
A child plays alone by selecting one of the options: play using 1 food item only (the least advanced), using 2 items, and using 3 items. Just let your child play and have fun!
OPTION 2 (more info)
This is where the true power of this app comes. Based on the child's speech needs, you can strategically pick words (from the list of 69 purposefully chosen foods/words) for practice. And again, whether the child plays with no adult OR with adult supervision he/she can select from the following 3 options:
using 1 food item only (the least advanced), using 2 items, and using 3 items (the most advanced).
When starting, enter a name of the player(s) by tapping in the text box - a keyboard will appear. Hit ENTER/RETURN when done. The name will be stored.
In this option we are fully implementing this powerful concept by combining our songs (only those food-related) with our song sheets. OPTION 3 is not interactive.
What you can:
1. Pause the app/song
Some of these songs are perfect for "acting out," either with actual objects or during the daily routines that correspond with the lyrics. We encourage you to use objects. Show the objects as you sing.
2. Practice the songs ANYWHERE - in the car, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the bedroom.
3. Sing these songs W/O playing the music at times. Parents and teachers who break into spontaneous singing are taking advantage of the true power of music.

Too much Junk Food
Cute enough, but the emphasis is too much on unhealthy eating (you know the SADiet). I'd give it a better rating if the food selections weren't so inappropriate (especially the foods in the songs) because the songs would be fun otherwise. I chose to try the app because it has songs, and music is so inspiring for my son who can sing words more clearly than he can speak them. And food is his other motivator, so this app could have been great for him if more of the food in it was reasonably healthy (therefore something he would recognize) and if the key vocabulary words (in the app and in the songs) were more "accessible." The songs aren't really slow enough for speech and language for him. They went too fast. And there were too many words, particularly ones in inappropriate places, like after the target word (therefore discouraging vocal imitation). "Banana. Your turn. Banana. Banana, banana, yum, yum, yum." They add too many extra words in the app part. Too many words creates less tendency for my child (and maybe lots of other children) to try to say the target word. "Give him peas." Yum, yum, yum, yes it is peas." Way way too much vocalization! My son played with it a little bit with encouragement (less than a minute), turned it off, and walked away. I got him to come back a listen to most of a song; then he turned it off again. I'm sure I could get him to do more if I forced it. But he wasn't repeating any of the words, not even the ones he knows and not even in the songs. Bad sign because he is very echolalic. I'll try him another day though because he had a very busy weekend, and it is Sunday night. I like their Basic Concepts app much better although it suffered from some of the same shortcomings, just to a lesser extent.

The Iron Lady
Rated PG-13 for violent images and brief nudity.
Running time: 105 minutes
Distributor: The Weinstein Company
Art House & International, Drama
Directed By:Phyllida Lloyd
Written By:Abi Morgan, Michael Hirst
The Weinstein Co.
In Theaters: Jan 13, 2012 Wide
Film Review by Kam Williams
Very Good (3 stars)
Over the course of her illustrious career, Meryl Streep has landed more Academy Award nominations (16 and counting) than any other thespian in history. Blessed not only with an enviable emotional range but a knack for feigning foreign accents and regional dialects, the versatile actress has repeatedly demonstrated an uncanny ability to disappear into whatever role she's been asked to play.
Such is again the case with The Iron Lady, a comprehensive biopic about Margaret Thatcher, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1979 to 1990. The movie was directed by Phyllida Lloyd who previously collaborated with Streep in 2008 on Mamma Mia!

Discussion: Dealing with Shocks and Ensuring Resilience to Meet Current and Emerging Challenges
The international community has an invaluable role to play and a responsibility to live up to its commitments. The possibility of achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 largely depends on building stronger global partnerships. Goal 8 of the Millennium Development Goals embodies the global partnership for development in the fight against poverty and hunger, and in support of human development and good governance. Donor countries and the private sector have committed to support the efforts of developing countries through more ODA, fairer trade, debt relief and improved access to essential medicines and technology.
While important progress has been achieved in several areas significant gaps remain in the delivery of the commitments made by member states. At the request of the UN Secretary General, the MDG Gap Task Force prepared a report – Delivering on the Global Partnership for Achieving the MDGs – aimed to track international commitments on aid, trade, debt and to follow progress on access to essential medicines and technology. It identifies the areas where additional actions still need to be taken.
Discussion Phase 1
Large debt relief to the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries exemplifies the contribution that a strong partnership for development can make to increase investments for human development. In other areas, however, there is an urgent need to strengthen the global partnership for development by closing some of the remaining gaps. In particular:
- Increasing ODA by 18 billion dollars a year in order to meet the 2010 target set at the G-8 Summit in Gleneagles in 2005.
- Re-commencing trade negotiations immediately to reverse the damage made by their recent collapse on the promise to give a development focus to trade negotiations
- Improving access to essential quality medicines, especially in the public sector, to make them available to the poor
- Accelerating the diffusion of new technologies for development and increase investment in infrastructure, especially electricity
- What should be done to close these gaps? In the coming weeks we would like to stimulate debate on what can be done to move the international community to live up to their commitments.
- The first focus is on aid. Over the past two years aid (after correcting for inflation) decreased, while at the same time demands for additional assistance have been increasing in order to allow countries to address new challenges, including support to overcome the food crisis and meet the climate change challenges. What more can be done to convince the donor community to accelerate their follow through on commitments?
- How can aid be made more effective to support achievement of the MDGs?

Rangers to face Penguins in second round
Blueshirts were 5-3-0 vs. Pittsburgh in regular season
Tuesday, 04.22.2008 / 10:25 PM ET / News
|Oct. 23 -- Penguins 1, Rangers 0 at Pitt.
|Nov. 8 -- Rangers 4, Penguins 2 at MSG
|Nov. 17 -- Rangers 4, Penguins 3 (OT) at Pitt.
|Dec. 18 -- Rangers 4, Penguins 0 at MSG
|Jan. 14 -- Penguins 4, Rangers 1 at Pitt.
|March 18 -- Rangers 5, Penguins 2 at MSG
|March 30 -- Penguins 1, Rangers 0 at Pitt.
|March 31 -- Rangers 2, Pens 1 (OT) at MSG
|Among the many intriguing aspects of this second-round series is the fact that Rangers defenseman Marc Staal will go up against younger brother Jordan Staal.
After four days of waiting, the Rangers finally learned the identity of their second-round playoff opponent on Tuesday night, thanks to Philadelphia's 3-2 overtime victory in Washington.
The Blueshirts will open Round 2 at Pittsburgh for Game 1 of a best-of-seven series. The series begins on Friday night at Mellon Arena. Game 2 will take place on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh and will be televised nationally on NBC.
Games 3 and 4 will be played at Madison Square Garden on April 29 and May 1, with both games starting at 7 p.m. Games 5 through 7, if necessary, are set for May 4, May 5 and May 7. (complete series schedule)
This will be the first Rangers-Penguins playoff series since 1996, when a Pittsburgh team led by Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux and current Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr beat the Blueshirts in five games. Lemieux and Jagr combined for a remarkable 19 points in that series.
Prior to 1996, the Rangers and Pens had faced each other in the 1992 playoffs and 1989 playoffs, with Pittsburgh winning both of those series as well (4-0 in 1989 and 4-2 in 1992).
During the 2007-08 season, the Rangers played Pittsburgh eight times, going 5-3-0 vs. the Pens. Four of those five wins came at Madison Square Garden, where the Blueshirts went undefeated against Pittsburgh in 2007-08 and have won five straight overall dating back to March 19, 2007.
As always is the case in the postseason, goaltending will be a key to the series, as the Rangers will be up against Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury, a former No. 1 overall draft pick who went 2-1-2 with a .929 save percentage in five starts against the Blueshirts this season and is 9-7-4 against them during his NHL career.
Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist started all eight games against the Pens in 2007-08, finishing the series with a .916 save percentage. He is 12-6-3 against Pittsburgh in his career.
During the regular-season series, Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby led all scorers with eight points on a goal and seven assists. Scott Gomez, Michal Rozsival and Jaromir Jagr each had seven points for the Blueshirts, while Evgeni Malkin had seven for Pittsburgh. Malkin was the leading goal-scorer in the regular-season series with five. Gomez, Rozsival and Avey paced the Blueshirts with three goals apiece.
Philadelphia's win over Washington on Tuesday ensured that three of the four teams remaining in the Eastern Conference playoffs are from the Atlantic Division, which the Rangers dominated in 2007-08. This marks the first time in six years that a single division has produced three of the final four teams in its conference playoffs. The last time that happened was in 2002, when the Northeast Division put Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa in the second round.
In the playoffs' opening round, the Rangers defeated a fourth Atlantic Division team, the New Jersey Devils, in five games. Pittsburgh swept seventh-seeded Ottawa in its first-round series.

Federal public servant whistleblowers to get legal protection for exposing financial waste
- From: The Courier-Mail
- January 18, 2013
PUBLIC servants will be given legal protection for the first time to dob in colleagues who waste taxpayers' money.
The Gillard Government is planning legislation to encourage whistleblowers to come forward with examples of serious financial waste.
The office of the Special Minister of State, Gary Gray, has revealed that the Bill will be introduced by March, but says that its details have not yet been finalised.
A statement from his office said only: "It is expected that the Public Interest Disclosure Bill will include wastage of public funds as a category of wrongdoing and provide disclosers with protection from all legal liability resulting from the disclosure, where the disclosure has been made in accordance with the scheme."
The definition of waste is likely to include public servants who fail to get enough quotes or best value for construction of public buildings, public servants who go on spending sprees to ensure budgets remain at similar levels the following year as well as the overstocking of government buildings with appliances.
Programs at the direction of ministers - such as FuelWatch, GroceryWatch and the fatal home insulation scheme - will probably be exempt.
A bipartisan committee recommended in 2009 that any public interest disclosure laws needed to provide a clear definition of what constituted serious waste.
Opposition spokesman on the scrutiny of government waste Jamie Briggs said that
the Coalition would wait to see the Bill before determining whether it would support the proposal.
"The list of wasteful spending over the past five years has occurred because Labor ministers have directed public servants to implement wasteful programs," Mr Briggs told The Courier-Mail. "Labor should not try to shift the blame of their wasteful spending to public servants.
"The issue of waste was not an issue when the Howard government was in power.
"This starts at the top, with a culture that fails to treat taxpayers' money with respect (and) it is the responsibility of the government of the day to set the standards."
Community and Public Sector Union assistant national secretary Louise Persse said she welcomed the Bill: "For some time, we've been calling for laws that provide our members with clarity around what they can report and how they go about doing it and, just as important, what protection is afforded them when they take that step," Ms Persse said.

Looks like Labor has just shot themselves in the foot again. How many feet do they have left to shoot?
wayne of Brisbane Posted at 8:38 AM January 18, 2013
Yes does this also include all the labour pollies and their wasteful use of taxpayers money.
Tony Posted at 8:34 AM January 18, 2013
But of course "Programs at the direction of Ministers will probably be exempt" and so the waste goes on. Public servants did not become 'wasters' the day the government changed in 2007. It was the introduction of Labor and its incompetent ministers that made the difference! Change the ministers and stop the waste!
