Ashley Fox (3:00 PM)
Greetings everyone. Nice to be back with you all after a hiatus. Let's get rolling.
Rich (New Jersey)
Hi Ashley, With the recent hiring of Ken Whisenhunt by the Titans on monday & Jim Caldwell of the Lions on Tuesday, is their any possible candidates on the coaching staffs of the Broncos-Patriots-49ers or Seahawks that might go to either the Browns or Vikings as the playoffs are over?
Ashley Fox (3:03 PM)
Hi Rich. I think Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase will be someone worth watching. He declined to interview for any jobs when the window was open. Said he wanted to wait until after the Broncos were done playing. That decision could put him out of the loop if Denver wins this weekend. But Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam has said he is willing to be patient to find the right person. We'll see. San Francisco's offensive and defensive coordinators should get looks, too. It sounds like New England OC Josh McDaniels is happy where he is.
Jim (Memphis)
Did Detroit "settle" for Jim Caldwell or do they really think he is a good head coach?
Ashley Fox (3:04 PM)
I don't think they settled at all. Jim Caldwell is a very good coach. Peyton Manning, who played for him in Indy, vouched for him, which resonated. He takes over a talented roster and has a quarterback with potential who needs to be developed. I think it's a good fit.
Mike P (Greater KC Metro)
I'm a little confused on as to why the media is saying that both Brady and Manning have to win this year to Validate their careers. brady already has 3 SB rings, Manning 1. Manning has too many passing records to court. If neither one won another Super Bowl they would be in teh GOAT discussion. It blows my mind that someone who has multiple Super Bowl rings has to validate his career? Why also is everyone not saying the same thing about Belicheck then?
Ashley Fox (3:07 PM)
I don't know who in the media has been saying that. I think in Manning's case a second Super Bowl win would bolster his resume and quiet the criticism that for all of his regular-season brilliance, he didn't win multiple Super Bowls. Brady has proven himself. And a New England win would do away with the criticism that Belichick never won one after SpyGate. But you're right, all three men are going to go down as the greatest of all time in their profession, whether they win another Super Bowl or not.
John (Philly)
What do you think about Foles heading into next year? Think he is a franchise guy?
Ashley Fox (3:09 PM)
I think it's going to be really interesting to see his progression from Year 1 with Chip Kelly to Year 2. He is still so early in his NFL career. The general rule of thumb is it takes about five years for quarterbacks to really understand all of the nuances of their offense. WIth Foles, we'll see. You had to like what he did this season, with just two picks. He was poised. He was steady. Is he the Eagles' franchise quarterback? He will be the guy for next year, but this year's draft, and next year's, will really show us what Kelly thinks of him.
Tim (El Cajon, CA)
Zimmer for HC and Turner for OC. Good choices in your opinion? Might even help with the QB's we have too. Not saying we couldn't use a better one though.
Ashley Fox (3:11 PM)
I do think they're good choices. I know this about Zimmer: He is a tough, tough coach. He has no problem calling guys out. He is great at identifying talent and developing it. And Turner is good with quarterbacks. It is interesting that Minnesota opted for a defensive minded head coach, but I think it was a solid choice and long overdue for Zimmer.
Landon Gailbreath (Lost Nation iowa)
If the Packers stay healthy next season, what chance do you give them of returning the the Superbowl?
Ashley Fox (3:13 PM)
Well, they have one of the best quarterbacks in the game, so that helps. You saw how valuable he is when he was out. They've got some decisions to make with their roster, but the major pieces are there. Will they get to the Super Bowl? That's so far out and so much can happen between now and then. Plus Seattle and San Francisco have set the bar high for what it takes to get there. But Green Bay has talent, that's for sure.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Can a Russell Wilson make the throws necessary in the passing game, provided his receivers can separate, for the Seahawks to reach their Super Bowl?
Ashley Fox (3:15 PM)
I think more important than that is can Marshawn Lynch carry the offense? He's the player San Francisco's defense is most concerned with. 49ers safety Donte Whitner identified him as the one player San Francisco must take away. They want Wilson to have to beat them. I give Seattle the edge because of their defense, Lynch and the fact they're playing at home, but it will be interesting to see if Wilson has to win with his arm.
Luke (South Dakota)
Hi Ashley. I was wondering how will the 49ers be able to win at Seattle? Kaepernick is never good when he is under pressure and flustered. Will the 49ers line be able to keep him under control?
Ashley Fox (3:18 PM)
I think they can. You bring up a good point. The battle in the trenches is going to be fascinating to watch, and San Francisco's line has, I believe, three first-round draft picks on it. They're the best line in football. Like it will be for Seattle, the running game will be equally important for San Francisco. I wrote about this today: Typically the best indicator for a team's success is did they win the turnover battle. But in these playoffs, the biggest indicator has been rushing yardage. All eight winners have rushed for 100 yards. Whoever runs the ball better -- which gets back to the lines -- will probably win.
Gloria (Philly)
Hi Ashley, love your work, especially the way you defend your opinion and own up to 'mistakes' when your predictions didn't pan out. My question relates to women and the NFL: obviously we have female reports, female owners, and I think a female team president(?). What is the next frontier for women and the NFL? Scouts, coaching, officials, something else? Interested to hear your thoughts!
Ashley Fox (3:21 PM)
Thanks, Gloria. Predictions are fun, but you can't be right all the time. That's how it goes. It's an interesting question you pose. And I'm not sure. Maybe an official? There was a woman working as an official at a preseason joint practice between Philadelphia and New England. I'm not sure if she worked any preseason or regular-season games. I'm guessing not, but I don't know for sure. I don't see it happening in coaching or scouting.
CC (Atlanta)
With all the injured guys back, tons of cap space and high draft picks I think ATL is poised to bounce right back next year. I expect Dimitroff to bolster the OL in FA and focus on D in the draft. All the close games we won in '12 on the way to 13 wins were lost last year.
Ashley Fox (3:23 PM)
I would agree with you. And clearly, the priority there is to work on the lines. The offensive line was a mess, largely due to injury. They need another pass rusher. They could use an upgrade to the secondary. They're going to have to start looking at some point for Roddy White's replacement. But I agree that the foundation is certainly there. I like the quarterback and the head coach. I see a bounce back year in 2014.
Rossy Chomes (Motown, NJ)
Not surprised to see Gilbride go, but was surprised to see Giants let go of 2 longtime assistants in Pope & Ingram. Esoecially Pope since he has coached on all 4 SB teams. Guess you are never safe...
Ashley Fox (3:26 PM)
I, too, was really surprised about Pope. He's probably the best tight ends coach in the business. He had been there forever (with a hiatus in the middle). But there was going to be turnover on the offensive side of the ball after the season the Giants had. Tom Coughlin had to make some changes. And clearly he did.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Is the NFL making progress rehiring two black coaches for the first time in the same season? Do you think it's a coincidence they're disciples of the first African American head coach ever to get a second chance, and be successful?
Ashley Fox (3:27 PM)
I think it is small progress, yes. The coincidence is that both Lovie Smith and Jim Caldwell are good football coaches who have had success in the past. I'd still like to see more progress both in the coaching ranks and in front offices, but yes, this is better than last year, when no African Americans were hired and there were eight head coaching vacancies.
Michael (Cincinnati)
What can the NFL do to improve the consistency of it's part time officials? This season did nothing but highlight the inconsistency from game to game. Certainly a multi billion dollar enterprise can put a much better effort forward, wouldn't you agree?
Ashley Fox (3:30 PM)
I would totally agree. There needs to be more consistency with the officiating and how things are called. I think at some point the league needs to tweak its process of reviewing calls on the field, whether that goes to a centralized location where designated league officials review and rule on the calls. But you're right: There was a lot of inconsistency, a lot of missed calls. We saw it just this past weekend.
Shawn (Detroit)
Ashley, If it is frigid and snows in NY on Super Bowl Sunday...Rank the 4 remaining teams in order of their chances of winning the Lombardi Trophy...
Ashley Fox (3:31 PM)
I'm having a hard time buying New England as a running team now, but what they did against Indianapolis, with six rushing touchdowns was impressive. I think if it's cold and snowy -- a distinct possibility -- the team that runs the ball the best has the advantage. So I'd go: Seattle, San Francisco, New England, Denver. But I really think it's a toss up at this point.
Mike P (Greater KC Metro)
Is Cleveland the worst NFL Coaching Job in the league right now? It seems like no one and i mean no one wants to come within a 100 foot pole of there. They have talent, i dont undertstand what is causing so many people to say no way, not going there
Ashley Fox (3:34 PM)
When you fire your head coach after one season, that sends up a huge red flag to potential candidates. The Browns folks have said they made a mistake hiring Chud and wanted to correct it sooner rather than later. Fine. But they went into this season in rebuilding mode -- again -- and still got rid of him. That was unfair. Also, the next head coach there doesn't get final say over personnel. That, too, is an issue.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Did the Seahawks get exactly what they asked for with Percy Harvin? They knew the guy couldn't stay healthy, and now they're on the hook for a huge amount of money. Should he brought up on larceny charges like Matt Flynn? Or do we give him one more year to earn his keep?
Ashley Fox (3:35 PM)
The larceny charges? That's pretty funny. If you ask Minnesota fans, the Seahawks got exactly what they bargained for. Harvin is a talented player, but he's frequently hurt. Ron Jaworski once told me: Fast players are fast, slow players are slow, and injured players are injured. Pretty simple, but it's true.
Michael (Cincinnati)
I know Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh weren't interviewed by, or considered candidates elsewhere when hired. John Harbaugh certainly doesn't have control over the roster, yet won a SB last season. What is the total number of NFL head coaches that do have the power to make ultimate personnel decisions?
Ashley Fox (3:37 PM)
I don't know the total number off the top of my head. I will say that I think Ozzie Newsome and Harbaugh work in tandem, and certainly Ozzie has proven that he knows how to manage a roster and isn't afraid to make unpopular decisions when players age. Even if a coach doesn't have final say over personnel, what matters is the working relationship between the coach and whoever does, be it the GM or the president or the owner (in Dallas's case). Trust is a huge factor there.
Ed (Queens Village)
What is your take on Rex Ryan extension? The pro I get is continuity and players like playing for Rex. The con Jets have miss playoffs three straight years and it sends message they accepting of being mediocre.
Ashley Fox (3:39 PM)
They had to do something. If they were going to retain Rex, which they said they were, they couldn't let him go into the final year of his contract. That would have been a recipe for disaster. So they extended him with a contract Adam Schefter said was loaded with incentives. Probably smart. I actually thought he did a good job this season. They were way more competitive than I thought they'd be before the season started.
Allen (Columbia, MO)
What do the Chiefs need to get over the hump and finally get a W in the playoffs? To me receiver looks like a major position of need, along with depth in the defensive front 7. No reason they can't rather easily claim the AFC wildcard again next year.
Ashley Fox (3:41 PM)
Agreed on both fronts. I think you saw late in the season once the competition improved that the defense wasn't as good as maybe we thought. They had some injuries, which didn't help, but that's going to happen. I think all of the pieces are there and Alex Smith will benefit from another year in Reid's system. They could use another receiver and a good, pass-catching tight end.
Nathan (Fayetteville)
Is Ryan Mallet not a great trade piece for New England this off-season?
Ashley Fox (3:42 PM)
He is if Belichick will give him up. I'm not convinced he will.
Brian (Hartford)
You're having a 'hard time' buying New England as a running team right now?? Have you watched any football the last month ?
Ashley Fox (3:42 PM)
I know. I have. I'm just saying, it is a little disconcerting thinking of them as a running team given who they've got at quarterback.
Michael (Cincinnati)
Josh McDaniels had final say in Denver. How did that work out?
Ashley Fox (3:43 PM)
I'm not saying it's perfect. And you can argue about Cleveland all you want. Go ahead. But that place is not highly regarded right now. That's fact.
Dave (Conover, NC)
Ashley, why hasn't Scott Piolli been called down to Miami to interview for the GM position? KC had a great year with Andy Reid playing with Piolli's groceries. I know Reid brought in Smith, but the rest of that team was in place due to Piolli's work. Is there a negative Carl Peterson bias at work, since he's in Steve Ross's ear? Thanks!
Ashley Fox (3:46 PM)
Pioli did a good job with the groceries, as you called it, in Kansas City, but he earned a pretty lousy reputation for how he deals with people. Maybe he's changed. Maybe he learned. He's a good talent evaluator, for sure, but there is more to it then that.
Shawn (Detroit)
Do you agree with the Raiders retaining Dennis Allen and if so do you think he is the right man to turn the franchise around?
Ashley Fox (3:47 PM)
I think he deserves to keep working at it. I thought he might not get that chance. You've got to remember what he inherited there. It wasn't a lot. That's a rebuild. And it takes time.
kardfan (Illinois)
Ashley,I know the NFL has become a INYOU'REFACETRASHTALKING league but what I saw from several Carolina defenders was waaaaay over the top....thoughts?
Ashley Fox (3:49 PM)
I thought it went both ways, actually. Don't like to see the head butting. That's uncalled for. But that was a physical game, and both teams are chippy. So it's not all that surprising. You'll see more of that in the NFC championship game on Sunday.
Rich (New Jersey)
Hi Ashley, I enjoyed your column on the 49ers-Seahawks, this game just might be better than the Super Bowl. I'm leaning more toward San Francisco figuring the game might decided by 1 or 2 points and a very low scoring game probably under 30, any predictions on the outcome of this game?
Ashley Fox (3:51 PM)
It might be. I love both of the championship game match ups, especially given how different each will be stylistically. As for Niners-Seahawks, I give the edge to Seattle, particularly given that they're at home, where, you might have heard, they've only lost one game in two seasons. But I agree with you that it should be close. Hope so, anyway.
Brian (Harford)
I agree Ashley, it is hard to imagine a team with Tom Brady as a running team. But that makes them so much more dangerous trust me. If Denver thinks of them as a running team it could spell disaster for them.
Ashley Fox (3:53 PM)
I agree they're dangerous. And I think, as I wrote a few weeks ago, that Belichick deserves Coach of the Year honors. He's done a remarkable job this season, given who all they lost from last year's team and the fact the middle of their defense was gutted by injuries.
Michael (Cincinnati)
Cleveland is interviewing young, up and comer type head coaching candidates. I am all but certain these guys need personnel like a hole in the head. Whoever the Browns hire will earn nothing until he wins. Simple. The same folks blasting the Browns now, blasted the Trent Richardson trade. Maybe, as Peter King and Adam Schefter have suggested, the Browns are actually smart here. Who else has a shot to hire anyone from the final four?
Ashley Fox (3:54 PM)
Maybe they are. I guess we'll see.
Ashley Fox (3:55 PM)
Alright folks. I've got to jump. Thanks for joining me. We'll do it again next week. Enjoy the conference championship games.

In this lecture, we will cover:
The founder and president of Cyber Trading University, Inc., Fausto Pugliese was one of the first independent day traders to take advantage of the direct-access trading technology boom that started in 1987. In the early 1990s, he was one of the original SOES bandits on Wall Street.
In Fausto's years of active day trading, he acquired a wealth of knowledge from hands-on experience, working side-by-side with some of the most experienced market makers in the industry. He watched closely as they would strategize and take their positions in the stocks they dominated.
As a result, he capitalized on identifying the actions of primary market makers, and learned to follow their direction. This method is called "Shadowing the Dominant Market Maker," which has proven to be most effective when compared to other strategies. Fausto allows his students to follow the same analysis that market makers use when taking a position.
Fausto has appeared on FOX News, CNBC, and dozens of other news programs in the U.S. and Canada. He also writes for Equities Magazine and hosts a radio show on BizRadio, and is currently writing a book about trading.

A 24-year-old man has been charged with murdering a 21-year-old man who was found stabbed in the stomach on a footpath on the New South Wales mid-north coast early on Saturday morning.
Ambulance officers treated the victim, from Macskville, after finding him on Marine Parade in Stuarts Point about 2:30am on Saturday, but he was was pronounced dead upon arrival at Kempsey Hospital
About 12 hours later, detectives arrested a 24-year-old man at his Stuarts Point home and took him to Kempsey Police Station for questioning.
They have charged him with murder and allege he stabbed the victim during a fight.
The man has been refused bail to face Kempsey Local Court later today.

Friday, September 9, 2016: (St. Peter Claver)
Jesus said: "My son, you are seeing how St. Peter Claver dedicated his life to helping the African slaves have hope, and he baptized them. In a similar manner, My refuge builders need to help My desperate faithful to have hope in face of the evil people who want to kill you. You have made a lot preparations, but your time to prepare is running out. This is why I have been encouraging you to finish up the projects that I have given you. Make the best use of what time you have left, so you will be able to accept the people that I will send to you. You may have to change some of your priorities to fit these projects into your schedule. I will be always watching over you to find ways to finish what you need. I thank you for your dedication to both missions of sharing My messages, and sharing your refuge with people."
Jesus said: "My son, when you are thinking of independent living on a refuge, you need to have a good source of water, because you cannot live without fresh water. I have been directing you to get more 55 gallon food grade barrels so you can store as much drinking water as possible for your forty people. You have decided to store six of your barrels in your garage that gets cold in the winter. Your friend suggested wrapping these barrels with flexible insulation to try and keep the water in the barrels from freezing. Also, only fill these barrels 2/3rds full in case the water turns to ice and expands. I mentioned before to use your drain water for washing while temperatures are above freezing. You can melt snow for water during the winter. You also have a pump and some piping if you can find water at a shallow depth. Again, I mentioned how I would multiply your drinking water and wash water. Just as you had to believe in faith that I could heal people, so you will have to believe in faith that I could multiply your water, food, and fuels. By following all of My instructions, and praying for what you need, I will see to all of your needs. In some cases you have even seen some people able to survive on just receiving daily Holy Communion, which will be given by a priest or My angels. So trust in Me that I will provide you with enough fresh water to drink and wash. You will even have water to reconstitute your dried foods."

Thursday, September 8, 2016: (Nativity of the Blessed Mother)
Jesus said: "My people, in the first reading of Micah (5:1-2) a sign was given that a virgin shall give birth to a Ruler of the world in Bethlehem. I prepared My Blessed Mother to be the perfect woman without original sin, when she was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. She truly lived in My Divine Will without any sin. She would be the holy Ark of the Covenant to carry Me in her womb. She gave her free will 'fiat' to conceive Me in her womb as well. My Blessed Mother's birth was one of the first steps to man's salvation, before I came into the world as your Savior. Rejoice on this day commemorating her birth, as she later was the fulfillment of this prophesy from Micah."
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: "My people, you could see various kings that inherited power over certain lands. I came on the earth as King of the Universe, but Herod tried to kill Me. Even though I had a spiritual nature and a physical nature, the people did not recognize Me as the Messiah, despite My many miracles. I kept My identity hidden, until My hour came, and I admitted to Pontius Pilot that I was a king. When I told the high priest of the Sanhedrin that I was the Son of God, he did not believe Me, and he wanted Me crucified for blaspheming. So My people need to give praise and worship to your heavenly King."
Jesus said: "My people, you remember the parable I told about the five wise virgins who brought oil for their lamps at the wedding feast. There were five foolish virgins who did not bring oil with their lamps, and their lamps were going out. The foolish ones went to buy oil, but when they returned, they could not enter the closed door. The time of the tribulation is coming soon, and My faithful need to be prepared with daily prayer and frequent Confession. Keep faithful to Me, and the doors to My refuges and the gates of heaven, will be open to you."
Jesus said: "My son, you were welcomed to Mexico and My Blessed Mother's Shrine at Guadalupe. I thank you for coming, and you had everything fall into place so you could give your talks. The people treated you well, and they were open to My messages. As you came to My Blessed Mother's Shrine, you were given graces for coming, and for going through the holy doors. The people were blessed by your visit, and you prayed over many people. This was a very successful and fruitful trip to Mexico."
Jesus said: "My son, you have struggled to obtain your outhouse kit from the trucking company, and then you carried the wood to your shed. Now, you need to find a way to put it together for your future latrine. Call on My help and I will have people help you to put it together. You may not have to dig a hole yet, but you could buy some extra lime to be multiplied. You also have purchased eight more 55 gallon barrels, but you need to fill at least six of them with water before you have freezing weather. You will need to keep your barrels inside, so the water does not freeze. You could keep some in your garage where it does not get too cold. You need to complete these projects as soon as possible."
Jesus said: "My son, I have been urging you to get your projects done soon because there will be some serious events about to occur in your country. In the vision you had a sense of the ominous events that will be coming that could even lead to a martial law. If these events do result in martial law, then you will need to call on Me to have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge. This again is why your refuge needs to be ready to receive My faithful."
Jesus said: "My son, you need to research any progress of this plan to have a one world religion. I do not want My Church compromised to change any of My teachings. Such a one world religion is a plan of Satan to bring down and persecute My Church, and your belief in Me. Do not accept any one world religion because this could be the vehicle to cause a division in My Church."
Jesus said: "My people, this vision speaks of two types of building processes. The first speaks about My refuge builders who I am helping to build places of safe haven for My faithful to be protected during the tribulation. Preparing buildings, providing food, bedding, and water is not easy, especially for a lot of people. I have enabled some people with financial gifts to have the money to build their refuges. The second building up of My Church is another ongoing mission to bring converts into My Church. You need to have souls with open minds and hearts so they can receive My Word, and grow into a gift of faith. Continue to pray for the conversion of poor sinners."

Wednesday, September 7, 2016: (Magi Andresky Funeral Mass)
Jesus said: "My people, Magi was happy to see all of her family and friends at the wake, and at the funeral Mass. She was thankful for the eulogy and Father's homily. She was truly a prayer warrior as she prayed for all of her family and friends. You saw in the vision how My Blessed Mother and I welcomed Magi in the clouds of heaven. She will be watching over her family, and praying for them as she did on earth. She loved the songs and the readings that were picked out. She says farewell, but she loves all of her family and friends."
Jesus said: "My people, I am giving you a preview of what it will be like when you come to My refuges. Those people, who come to the larger final refuges, will see My luminous cross in the sky. When you look upon it, you will be healed of all of your infirmities. When you come to smaller interim refuges, you could be healed from healing spring water or from holy water. There will be a means for healing people at every refuge, so rejoice in not needing pills or doctors. At My refuges you will also see a large powerful angel who will put an invisible shield all around your refuge so no evil ones will see you. Only My faithful people with a cross on their foreheads, will be allowed to enter. Those people, who do not have such a cross on their foreheads, will not be allowed to enter. My refuge builders have been preparing for this time of the tribulation for a long time. Other refuge builders are rushing to complete their projects before the tribulation comes. Be grateful that I am providing places of refuge to protect you from the evil ones who want to kill you."

Tuesday, September 6, 2016:
Jesus said: "My people, this trumpet looking shade, that was turning around with My Light, is another sign of My coming Warning. Some people will experience a long spinning tunnel as they come to My Light. I keep telling My faithful that the best preparation for My Warning, is daily prayer and frequent Confession. By remaining faithful to Me, and obeying My Commandments, you can avoid any mini-judgment to hell. Even if some people see their first judgment to hell, they still will have a second chance to change their lives, when they return to their bodies. People returning from this experience, will understand how much they have offended Me with their sins, and they will be seeking My forgiveness in Confession. The most important lesson from the Warning, will be to see the need for repenting of your sins. The next step is to develop a love for Me by giving your will over to following My ways. By loving God and neighbor, you will be put on the right path to heaven."
Jesus said: "My people, when you are living at My refuges during the tribulation, you will be praying more than now, and you will be spending at least one hour a day adoring My Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance. I will have a priest or My angels bring you daily Holy Communion. You will place one of My consecrated Hosts into your monstrance for perpetual Adoration. At that time it will not be necessary to have a bishop's approval to have My Blessed Sacrament in your refuges. You will have more time to pray your Chaplet of Divine Mercy and your rosaries. I will continue giving you messages to support the people at your refuges. Pray that you will have a faithful priest for daily Mass. I am answering your question of how you will be able to share your messages with other refuges. You will be bi-locating to different refuges while your body is asleep at your refuge. This will give hope to other refuges when you come before them. There will be many healings when My faithful look upon My luminous cross, or when you are blessed with holy water or miraculous spring water. I will see that you all have enough food, water, and fuels for your survival. You have just acquired the plans and lumber necessary to build your outhouse. Now, you will have to put it together with someone's help so you will be ready to use this latrine. At the appropriate time you will have to dig a hole and have your lime ready to use for the people. This will still be heavy to move, but easier than moving your shed. Thank you, My son, for all that you are doing to help prepare your refuge, and thank you for saying 'yes' to this mission also."

Monday, September 5, 2016: (Labor Day)
Jesus said: "My people, I am showing you a picture of the past when the nuns wore a black habit. Many of your traditions and laws have changed over the years. The Pharisees made some of their traditions into laws of conduct, but they missed the spirit of the law. My Commandments are the laws that are changeless, but some of the traditions could be changed. In your world today, people are forced to work on Sundays which used to be respected without working for honoring My day of rest. When you are not obligated to work on Sunday, it is better to do work on another day. Your people should be coming more often to Confession, as there are only a few present when you come. They also should be coming to Sunday Mass as well. This is another sign of how spiritual laziness is afflicting your people. When people start ignoring My laws and their daily prayer, they are closing Me out of their lives. I love all of My people, but their love for Me is waning. The devil has used many of your distractions to keep you away from Me. I am coming with My Warning to give everyone one last chance to wake up, and see how they are offending Me with their sins. Those people, who do not repent and do not accept Me as their loving Lord, are on the road to hell. Those people, who repent and love their Master, will find their reward in heaven, where I will prepare a place for them."
Jesus said: "My people, I have talked about people drinking to excess when they become drunk drinking alcoholic liquids as wine in the vision. Once you are drunk with alcohol, you lose control of your bodily functions to make proper decisions. Your inhibitions for bad behavior are blocked, as you could do things you would not do if you were sober. You could cause a car accident and endanger lives on the road, if you drove while intoxicated. Some people get violent when they are drinking, and they could harm people. This is why you are seeing the prisoner in an orange jumpsuit with handcuffs. If you kill someone or injure them, you could be put in prison for your bad behavior. If you drink wine, be careful not to drink too much. Those people, who drink too much, can become drunkards, if they become addicted. Such drinkers can become a problem when they could harm, or upset a whole family. Pray for such addicts to alcohol, and try to get them to stop. It takes time to detox such a drinker, but you can only help cure them if they want to stop. You can also pray deliverance prayers for them. As long as they have access to money and alcoholic drinks, it is hard to stop their habit. The best solution is to not get drunk in the first place."

Sunday, September 4, 2016: (Canonization of St. Mother Teresa)
Jesus said: "My people, I am showing you this beautiful stairway to heaven as it comes into a church. When you receive Me worthily in Holy Communion, you have a taste of heaven in My Real Presence. In today's Gospel I am not directly causing division in your families, but each person has to make a choice to accept Me or not by his or her own free will. Some people may choose to follow Me, while others may not. The other parts of My teaching refer to counting the costs to become one of My believers. To truly be My disciple you need to let Me be the Master of your life. You can only accomplish the mission I have for you, by dying to self and letting Me lead you in your every day activities. When you do everything for Me out of love, you will be helping your neighbor as best as you can. You could help others out of love for Me as well. You may give donations to people, but doing physical labor or housing someone takes an extra step of love that may even take you out of your comfort zone. When you reach out to help people, you are storing up treasure in heaven, so one day you can walk up My stairway to heaven."

Saturday, September 3, 2016: (St. Gregory the Great)
Jesus said: "My people, I am giving you a flashback in your memory of when you used to show the old films of the Mysteries of the rosary in your church. At that time there were a lot more people coming to Sunday Mass and they were praying the rosary, which you were promoting. You remember very vividly how Fr. Peyton said: 'The family that prays together, stays together.' This was very good training for young couples to have family rosaries together. Today, you are seeing more divorces, and living together in fornication because people are not coming to Sunday Mass, nor are they praying in family prayer. Those faithful, who pray in public or encourage others to come to Mass, are ridiculed as being old-fashioned, or overly religious. My people, you may seem like fools to the rest of your pagan society, but to Me you are beacons of faith shining in the darkness of evil. So do not be afraid to pray in public, or encourage people to convert to being a Catholic. Your life on earth is short, and My prayer warriors are needed more than ever to pray for sinners, so they can be saved from hell. You will be persecuted more and more as you will be entering the time of tribulation. Keep strong in your faith, even if people threaten your lives, because I will be guarding your souls at all times."

Friday, September 2, 2016:
Jesus said: "My people, in the vision you are seeing the Light of My glory. This is very much how I showed My radiance of My glorified Body to My apostles in My Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. I was giving assurance of My power to My apostles before I had to suffer and die on the cross. So it is right now. I am showing you My glory and My power before the darkness of the tribulation that I will allow. I am giving My faithful confidence in My protection so you can endure your Good Friday of suffering. I will protect you at My refuges, but you will be joyous to share in My victory in My Era of Peace. In the first reading St. Paul spoke of his desire to only be judged by God, and he encourages the people not to judge others either. You do not know all of the circumstances of people's lives, so you should leave any judging up to Me. You may see evil in the actions of others, but only advise them how to live better, and pray for them without judging. The Gospel reading speaks about fasting which is a powerful means with prayer to help people, and even to help get rid of demons out of people. Whenever you are doing novenas for your intentions, you can add fasting to open the hearts of those fallen away souls, so they will be open to love Me and repent of their sins."

Thursday, September 1, 2016:
Jesus said: "My people, there are some people who boast of all of their accomplishments without one word of Me in helping them. In the vision you are seeing a hall of awards, but the fame of people is temporary, and it will pass away. St. Peter had fished all night, and had caught nothing. When I asked him to lower the nets for a catch, he did so reluctantly, but he did not expect to catch anything. When the apostles had caught a great catch of fish, St. Peter was sorry for doubting My Word. When you put your trust in Me to do a mission, your work may seem like foolishness to the world, but you will be blessed as St. Peter with a great catch. I provide for all of your needs, but I will even give you a greater reward than you could ever imagine in heaven for your faithfulness to Me. So do not worry or be anxious of what you need, or what you will do, because I will lead you with My angels to help accomplish the mission that I have given you."
Jesus said: "My people, you have seen many killings with guns, so I do not want My faithful to use guns to kill people, except in immediate self-defense. Your laws against people having guns are not realistic, because your criminals will find illegal ways to obtain and use guns. I have told you that you should not worry about having guns because I will protect you with an invisible shield when you come to My refuges. The evil ones will have far more firepower than your citizens with guns. So it is better to depend on My protection with My angels, than to depend on your guns for protection. Eventually, I will conquer all of the evil ones, and there will be no evil in the Era of Peace. So do not worry about your protection, because I will provide what you need for your soul and your body."

Wednesday, August 31, 2016:
Jesus said: "My people, in the first reading St. Paul is reminding the people that all power and graces come down from Me, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. When you receive Holy Communion, you are receiving all Three Persons in the Blessed Trinity. When you are praying for deliverance from the demons, your prayers are invoking My Name and My power to cast out the demons. When you are praying to heal people, or for answering their prayer requests, it is My power and grace that heals addictions and heals your infirmities. You saw in the Gospel how I healed the fever of St. Peter's mother-in-law. I also healed many people who were brought before Me. When I was on the earth, I healed both the soul and the body. When My healing ministers pray over people, they also should pray to heal the soul and the body. Each soul, who desires a healing, needs to have an open soul and an open heart to receive My healing power, and they should have faith in Me that I can heal them."

Join us when author Joshua Kendall discusses his new book
America's Obsessives: The Compulsive Energy that Built a Nation.
In this book Kendall examines some key factors behind staggering success. This book provides a compelling look at how personality disorders can rule and ruin a life, and how those who come to terms with their constraints can achieve great things. After defining the "obsessive innovator" through the lives of tech legends Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison, this book profiles seven iconic figures—Thomas Jefferson, HJ Heinz, librarian Melvil Dewey, sexologist Alfred Kinsey, Charles Lindbergh, baseball slugger Ted Williams and cosmetics entrepreneur Estée Lauder. While these super-achievers toiled in different arenas, they had one thing in common: all achieved greatness by giving free rein to burning obsessions and compulsions that dated back to childhood.
A book sale with Readers Books follows the event.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The biggest news for the IS lineup for 2016 is the new 200t model with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that cranks out 241 horsepower. There's also a new IS 300 all-wheel drive (AWD) model with a 3.5-liter V6, a new Premium Plus Package and 18-inch wheels for the IS350.
Only minor changes are in store for the 2015 Lexus IS including LED fog lights on base models, interior tweaks, and wider availability for the heated steering wheel. Siri Eyes Free and Slacker are added to the Enform infotainment center. The limited edition Crafted Line is offered on IS 250 models.
The 2014 Lexus IS sedan highlights a compelling new design, improved handling and more interior space. Also, Lexus' revamped infotainment platform makes its debut in the 2014 IS and no manual transmission is available. The IS C hardtop convertible carries over unchanged from 2013, while the high-performance IS F receives only minor updates.
With an all-new model due out next year, the
Lexus IS has only a few upgrades for 2013. IS models equipped with navigation now include Lexus' latest Enform infotainment system with automatic phonebook downloading via Bluetooth and HD Radio with iTunes Tagging. Additionally, the IS250's optional 6-speed manual transmission has been discontinued.
Having received several upgrades in 2011, including revised front and rear styling, minor interior updates, the addition of an all-wheel-drive option to the IS 350 and an F Sport package for both IS 250 and IS 350, Lexus gives it a rest in 2012. There are two new colors in 2012.
Lexus adds optional all-wheel drive to the 2011 Lexus IS 350. Rear-wheel drive versions of the 2011 Lexus IS 250 and 2011 Lexus IS 350 get a new F-Sport Package. In addition, all 2011 Lexus IS models receive a slight front and rear makeover and some minor interior upgrades.
The introduction of the IS C makes ownership of a convertible Lexus available to a wider audience than the brand's other convertible, the much more expensive SC430. The IS C also demonstrates the Lexus commitment to expand the IS range, which also includes the IS Sedan and high performance IS F.
Both the IS 250 and 350 receive a slight exterior freshening, touting new front and rear bumpers, grille and tail light clusters. Interior changes include folding rear headrests, new interior colors and new seat and door panel sew patterns. The IS 250 gains Lexus' Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system (VDIM) as standard equipment, while all IS sedans receive improved suspension and steering tuning.
Both the IS 250 and IS 350 carry forward with only minor cosmetic detail enhancements. The sole change of note is that the IS 250 AWD's previously standard semi-aniline heated and ventilated leather seats are now optional, and are replaced by the baseline heated leather units that are fitted to the rear-drive models.
A new X Package is offered on rear-wheel-drive models and includes a sport suspension, five-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, sport pedals and illuminated door scuff plates.
In the highly competitive entry-level luxury- sedan market the 2016 Lexus IS is an enticing choice, with high style, advanced technology, impressive performance, indisputable prestige, impeccable detail, relentless quality and an unmatched reputation for owner satisfaction. Among a group where excellence is the minimum standard, the IS is formidable. The competition is an automotive Who's Who: BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Cadillac ATS. Yet the Lexus IS is more than a match. Its brand defines owner loyalty, the interior stuns, the driving experience is as good as it gets, the fit-and-finish is flawless and it's wrapped in a distinctive, rakish style. For 2016 there's a new 200t model, with a ferocious turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 241 horsepower.

"Ive owned BMW's and Mercedes in the past. I traded in my 2011 Mercedes GLK, which i loved and gave me no problems. The one area that Lexus shines in customer service. I bought a silver IS first and the dealer actually took it back a week later to make me happy with the starfire pearl white. Unheard of and Lexus of New Orleans is second to none. As for the IS250, i have been thouroghly happy. The nuluxe interior feels much more like leather than the MB tex in my MB. The car is smooth, the engine is super quite and everything is placed out perfectly. The 2.5 is adequate and the design has garnered a bunch of attention and most has been very positive. I switched to Lexus so that i could keep a car past warrenty. BMW was the worst, MB was great and gave me no problem at all, but I did not feel comfortable outside of warrenty. Lexus reliability is why i moved over to Lexus. Hightly recommend the 2014 IS 250!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,500overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "LED DRL and headlights, F-Sport TFT Gauges, NuLuxe"
Cons: "Front cupholders location, some cheap plastics"

"I have been driving my IS250 F-Sport exactly two months now. This car has been a thrill! The 2.5 liter engine has been adequate for my driving needs both on the highway and in the city. For those who like to speed or head to the track frequently, you would benefit from the extra power of the 350. For everyone else, the 250 is plenty of power. This car has tight and nicely weighted steering. The turning radius is very small, which allows you to easily make tight U-turns. Fuel economy is great for a car of this segment, I average 24-25 mpg with 60% city driving. The driving dynamics are very comparable to the E90 BMW 3-series (2006-2011). The current F30 BMW 3-series does not feel as sporty. As for the exterior styling, it does grow on you. I remember thinking how ugly the car looked when I saw the first press photos, but seeing it in person definitely changed my perception. I have really grown fond of the styling and personally I now think it is one of the best-looking cars in the segment! My biggest complaint is the location of the front cupholders; it is awkward to blindly reach back to grab a drink while driving. Also, Lexus could have used better plastics in the interior (it's not as cheap as those found in a Toyota, but it's definitely not the same grade you would expect from Lexus). On the other hand, the NuLuxe upholstery is a huge plus. NuLuxe is very soft and hard to distinguish from genuine leather."

When we adopted title hacking, PRs could not receive labels. *Would labels be an improvement over title hacking for recording approval status?* I think it would be worth trying to have a rough *priority ranking for things we'd like to see in 0.19*. However the Github Milestones feature is a bit crippled in UI: you can rank issues, but cannot filter by anything but open/closed, so for instance cannot see bugs and non-bugs separately. Perhaps Projects come to supersede that, although I think they work best for small-scale sprints rather than release-level milestones. And you cannot search sorted by milestone priority. Apart from an interface for manual prioritising, I think we would benefit from *automatic labelling*: * of issues to say when a PR mentioning the issue exists * of PRs to say whether there's been 1 or 2 LGTMs by core devs There are a number of issue labelling bots around -- https://github.com/ botdylan/botdylan seems to be one of the more configurable -- but hosted solutions don't seem readily available. Does anyone know of strong preferences for tracking + labelling bot solutions? waffle.io seems to go in this direction but is relatively inflexible.

When we started blogging seven years ago, it was a complete disaster.
There was no such thing as blogs written about blogging. No such thing as FeedBlitz or email subscriptions. No such thing as social share buttons or Livefyre. Nowhere to go for blogging inspiration.
It was just a blank screen, some incomplete thoughts, and a publish button (at least for us it was).
Fast forward four years when we actually put some goals in place for Spin Sucks and it was things such as, "Increase visitors by 36 percent" and "Add one guest blogger every day." What we were missing, though, was the ROI of blogging, in terms of actually getting clients from all of the work we were doing.
Tom Elgar, the CEO of passle, recently wrote a blog post called "The Unremarked Death of Another Business Blog." In it, he describes how difficult it is to not only start and maintain a blog, but to grow it and to keep it alive, AND how to show an ROI of blogging.
According to the Content Marketing Institute, producing content, producing engaging content, and producing a variety of content are the biggest challenges for content marketers. But 33 percent also said they have the inability to measure its effectiveness.
What is the ROI of Blogging?
This is where we were stuck in the fall of 2010. We had exceeded the goals – which I'll today refer to as vanity goals – we set at the beginning of the summer, but we still weren't making any money from the blog.
We batted around some ideas. Should we sell content? Should we create a subscription-based professional development site? Should we host paid webinars?
The answer to all of those questions was yes and we embarked on trying to generate revenue from each of them.
We created eBooks and sold them for $9.99. We built monthly webinars and charged $50 to attend. We even developed a professional development site called Spin Sucks Pro that cost $50 per month to join.
It all flopped.
Well, not entirely flopped, but we didn't make enough money to cover the costs to create these things and we certainly will never recoup the costs in building Spin Sucks Pro.
So What Works?
A little more than a year ago, we sat down and looked at the assets we had created and considered the freemium model that exists on the web. We decided charging for content wasn't the way to go and we began to offer all of that for free.
But now we were back where we were in 2010 and still had no idea how to make money from all of these efforts. We still didn't have an ROI of blogging.
In January of this year, we decided to stop trying to make money on content and begin to drive new clients from the reputation we had built.
Today, 40 percent of our new business has come directly from Spin Sucks. Which means prospects are finding the blog – either through search engine optimization or word-of-mouth – and like what they read.
It's fairly easy for us to track that right now because it's a simple, "How did you learn about us?" when they first approach us. For consumer businesses or organizations with more than 100 or so customers, that gets a little more difficult, but setting up a mechanism to learn how people know about you is the easiest – and most efficient – way to track your blog's effectiveness (assuming lots say, "I read your blog!").
It's true you can't measure brand awareness and reputation, but if you use your blog to achieve those two goals, the revenue will follow.
P.S. The image is of me blogging on the Champs-Élysées in Paris this past April.

I think to many businesses have a blog because they are supposed to, without real thought as to why.
You have real goals, one of which is lead development. Since you know what you are wanting to do with the blog you can track ROI.
Establish the goal then you can determine the return. Like most aspects of marketing, too many businesses start blogging with no clear objectives.
ClayMorgan You're right – lots and lots of organizations start blogs because they think they have to. I won't pretend that we had it all figured out when we started blogging. It took us four years to figure out the ROI. Most business leaders won't let you take that long.
ginidietrich ClayMorgan When one of my attorneys comes to me and says they want to start a blog, my first question is why. For many, they say others have a blog. Not a compelling reason. Not every attorney nor every business needs to have a blog.
debdobson62 ginidietrich ClayMorgan I agree with Clay too – same goes for social media. Companies join because they think they should, but they don't establish any goals to determine if they are successful or not.
debdobson62 ginidietrich ClayMorgan But, attorneys need to differentiate with a blog. They can teach and deliver authority about issues oriented to their practice area. It's the best way to also get around strict ethics rules, too. When you are educational about what your services are…
Soulati | Hybrid PR debdobson62 ginidietrich ClayMorgan I completely agree a blog is a great platform to differentiate, teach and develop their thought leadership. What I find is if they are doing it just because others are than they won't be committed over the long haul.
debdobson62 Soulati | Hybrid PR ginidietrich ClayMorgan Ahh, yes. In that case that would be a problem. Blogging is a long-term strategy; attorneys fail to realize that!
ginidietrich ClayMorgan Once you know what you want, consistency is huge, too. It's the difference between what you'd do for a deep friendship vs. the other thousand people you know on FB.
ClayMorgan Exactly.
Another honest post G, thank you! As we are discussing the addition of a blog to our site, which metrics to apply does give me pause. Whilst I "know" we need a blog, if I stake too much on it, and we apply the wrong metrics, that could be setting me up to fail.
RebeccaTodd Not every organization needs a blog. It's really great for building a reputation, helping prospects understand how you think, and generating leads. It also helps immensely with SEO, particularly if you don't already create a lot of content. Ivey creates a lot of content so it might very well just be tweaks is what you already do versus launching something new.
ginidietrich RebeccaTodd you have to seriously agree on the purpose for the blog. It doesn't have to be for sales purposes. You can have it employee focused as a running newsletter. It could just be the brand story. Or you could just fill it with links to your EBay items you are selling.
Howie Goldfarb ginidietrich RebeccaTodd And set a realistic schedule. Better to agree to and state up front that you'll be posting one thing a week than to randomly add things here and there. No one is ever going to say it out loud, but we all unconsciously make decisions about the value of connections based on whether they consistently deliver what they say they will.
Too many organizations get stuck on the vanity metrics and don't see a clear path to more important metrics like leads and sales, or worse, they're so focused on generating leads and closing business that they determine the entire exercise a failure before its time.
jasonkonopinski I would rather have 10 website visitors and 5 customers than 1000 visitors and 2 customers.
Howie Goldfarb jasonkonopinski I would rather have 100,000 visitors and 200,000 customers. Wait. What?
JoeCardillo Howie Goldfarb I just had this very conversation with a client last week because he's getting pushback on some of the things we're doing that can't be translated directly to sales. Since we began working with them, their brand awareness and reputation has gone from non-existent to one of the industry leaders. You can't measure that directly to sales, but we know the sales guys appreciate not having to explain who they are every time they sit down with a prospect.
I wonder what the average is for businesses drawing customers through their blogs. 40% seems like a great percentage! I have a small site I set up myself and a blog I update but look at more as a venue for samples of my work, although I want each post to benefit the readers first and foremost. Honestly, I haven't acquired clients through the blog but also haven't made that a goal yet. Yours is a great example of how that can work.
Btw, where can I get a free image of me blogging in Paris?
Word Ninja Um, I think you have to go to Paris and blog.
It's a great time to be in business, if you don't have to manage a blog. With so many high level leaders writing blogs, we have access to all this incredible free content and expertise to help us run our business. If blogging is part of our business strategy, we need to be prepared to work hard, because it is the most front and center example of our work. I love your guest blogging strategy, it is so helpful on many levels (SEO, content, expertise, frequency.)
jolynndeal The strategy was to introduce topics where we are not experts. It teaches us, our clients, our competitors, and our peers. If that makes us all better, I'm good with it!
ginidietrich jolynndeal Even better!
ginidietrich Rieva SpinSucks great , keep up the fab work
Nice post!
What ClayMorgan said!
Also, the "how did you hear about us" question is perhaps the most important one you can ask – especially for smaller businesses. With just a little bit of effort you can track where your business is coming from. It's a no-brainer, yet so many businesses don't do it.
lauraclick I think some get frustrated because they ask and people say, "Oh I saw an ad" even though they've never placed an ad.
ginidietrich Aaaaand…..this just inspired a blog post! Thanks, Gini! 😉
LSSocialEngage Heck, we don't get 10,000 hits a day. We're in a very niche industry. If we got that many, I'd wonder what we're doing wrong. Keep that in mind…you're not writing about something the whole world wants.
ginidietrich Well that makes complete sense and that is why for me the numbers they quoted with such confidence discounted the credibility of the person(s) I was speaking with. The math just didn't add up for their niche either. Thanks for the response.
Gini, traditional mainstream news media is on its knees because it can't figure out a paid-for model that works, so don't beat yourself up over a couple of flops. 🙂
sherrilynne Ha! VERY good point!
rdopping I really loved that book. I like how he talks about the changes for your life and your career.
ginidietrich Yeah, I am afraid to read the life part……
ginidietrich Thanks for this post! When you had done the #FF, I started thinking, I need to blog more, but what about? And why? While my personal blog isn't directly related to what I do for a living, I can certainly start building those sorts of relationships that you're doing here, and also keeping track of the analytics. Thank you for the kick in the butt!
EricPudalov Now that you've written it here, you're going to be held accountable!
Great post Gini!
BillSmith3 Thank you, sir!
ginidietrich BillSmith3 My pleasure Gini.
Would you count speaking engagements as part of the ROI?
I would think that the blog has aided in landing those gigs.
ExtremelyAvg I would say so! Doing more speaking engagements gets your brand out there, does it not?
EricPudalov ExtremelyAvg Yeah…but I don't include speaking in the 40%. I count that as part of brand awareness, but if I counted it in here, it'd probably be closer to 50% or more.
ginidietrich EricPudalov ExtremelyAvg That's excellent. It sounds like you've figured out how to make a blog valuable.
Thanks for your honest analogy of your progression with the blog. We are still trying to find our blog footing, so to speak. We decided to utilize for authority on services we offer, but expanded to allow the common, non-technical person so to speak a insight into what we offer and how it can help them. That coupled with our touchy-feely, family oriented posts that help our clients or perspective clients get to know us on a personal level as well.
sydcon_mktg It's a very, very smart strategy. People want to know the people inside the organization.
Nice piece Gini. Most companies don't even get as far as you did – they forget that reading a blog is voluntary and wind up producing something that's so banal no one would want to read it. That, or they forget that the blog is not a place for press releases and other client related news.
If you're actually writing something people want to read, you're 95% of the way there. Figuring out what metrics to use is the easy part.
awolk1 What?! Writing a blog is not a place for releases?! 🙂 You are SO RIGHT. I love it when organizations have figured out how to tell their news in engaging and informational ways. It's so nice to see you here. Thanks for stopping by!
My latest presentation Friday was, What Is Your Future With Content? (now on SlideShare)…and it zeros into year 3 when a rocket takes off with your content via the blog. What many companies and bloggers need to know is the consistency of generating astonishing content is the key to success. That remarkability thing everyone likes to toss around. Finding a niche topic and sticking with it while having a blast at the same time is the recipe for continued success and eventual $$. Or, maybe cents. heh.
Soulati | Hybrid PR I was just reading your post about ecommerce and laughed out loud when you said you were going to get rich quick. I love you!
Delivering genuine consistent creative engaging content, which in turn helps create that reputation and eventually gets you some ROI.
I would say the "Social Media Mantle" deservedly belongs to you! 🙂
Digital_DRK Is there an actual mantle that goes along with it? Can I hang it in my office?
ginidietrich Digital_DRK or perhaps a FollowFriday needs a MediaMantleMonday…
hackmanj Sure! The paper trail shows a few things…most people either hear about us through word-of-mouth or my speaking. Then they see us mentioned in one of the social networks. Then they come over here and they like what they see. There are probably three or four other places they hear about us and THEN they make a purchase decision. It's pretty rare the blog, alone, drives the revenue. It's all integrated, but when asked, and they say, "I read your blog," I count it in that column.
ginidietrich hackmanj Hey I read your blog!
So did you change something in January to make that happen or did you just start looking for different things and stop trying to make money directly from the blog?
For us I find out blog is an entry point and then people start following more closely and when they're ready they jump up to the next level. It's not always a fast process, but it's definitely key.
Barzhini Thanks, Tonya!
I know I'm late to the party on this one but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being willing to share real examples of what works and what hasn't.
Also, I have actually seen a blog post bring in new business! First time ever (to my knowledge) … Pretty cool.
KateFinley It's pretty nifty when it does that!
cision Thanks Lisa!! WIll I see you at #contentjam?
SpinSucks You're welcome! And goodness, that came up on us quickly! I don't know if I'll make it :/ SHUCKS!
cision It did, didn't it. Hopefully you can make it!!
Hoping you are a model that many of us will follow, Gini. I have my own multi-author blog running on the corporate site. We will be "long tail" relative to a lot of content out there, and I hope that we can capitalize on being early, consistent, and competent.
Great seeing all of the pics at ContentJam. Smack Stacey for me, will ya?

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Naval History and Heritage Command's Cold War Gallery presented the submersible Deepsea Challenger to school-age children, June 10.
The Deepsea Challenger is a submarine designed by James Cameron, Academy Award-winning film director and diver, and Ron Allum, Deepsea Challenger pilot. The craft was built to explore the Marianas Trench's deepest point of "Challenger Deep". In March of 2012, Cameron, diving solo in Deepsea Challenger, replicated the U.S. Navy's Bathyscaphe Trieste's 1960 dive of nearly 11 kilometers (7 miles) into Challenger Deep.
The submarine Deepsea Challenger, with advances in technology, measures less than a third the size of the Bathyscaphe. The submarine descended in less time, was able to record footage of the dive, and was able to stay at the bottom of the trench for more than three hours - six times the amount of time logged by the original explorers.
The Deepsea Challenger was brought to the Navy Yard to be with the Trieste, which is housed in the National Museum of the United States Navy.
"We wanted them to both to be at the same place at the same time, we couldn't pass up that opportunity," said Christina Symons (PhD), geologist, Cameron's expedition.
The dive was a part of the National Geographic Deepsea Challenge expedition, which took Cameron, Allum and a team of engineers, scientists, educators, and journalists, to the greatest depths of the ocean-places where sunlight doesn't penetrate and pressure can be a thousand times what is experienced on land. After years of preparation, the team went to the Marianas Trench, a 1,500-mile-long scar at the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean.
The National Museum of the United States Navy presented the event to children of four different age groups from their "Home School at the Museum" program. "Home School at the Museum" is an annual series of classes hosted by the museum that allow children to learn about Navy history and make hands-on experiments designed to explain different scientific theories and laws as part of the NHHC's interest in promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
The scientists of the expedition were really excited to speak with the children.
"We thought it would be great opportunity to make a stop and talk to people to inspire the next James Cameron and encourage science," said Symons.
The students began at NHHC's Cold War Gallery on Washington Navy Yard, by learning about some of the Navy's explorers. Karen Hill, National Museum of the United States Navy educator, presented the children with histories of African-American north pole explorer Matthew Henson, south seas explorer Charles Wilkes and Trieste co-pilot Don Walsh. She also discussed Trieste's 1960's dive and gave students some background about Deepsea Challenger.
The Deepsea Challenger took cues from the Trieste, including ballast use in such extraordinary dives.
"Mr. Walsh had little metal shot that he could release, we had 300 pounds of that on this sub," said Symons.
Symons spoke with students about the Challenger dive, showed the children the submersible, explained how it worked and answered questions about the expedition.
While the Deepsea Challenger is a much more advanced vessel than the bathyscaphe Trieste, the sphere attached to Trieste allowed for two pilots to submerge while the sphere that allowed Cameron to pilot the sub did not even leave a lot of room for the pilot.
"When he got in it, he was sitting with his knees up to his nose," said Symons. "[The sphere] was 43 inches in diameter, but he had computers, video screens and all sorts of things. So 43 inches is pretty liberal. He probably only had about 39 or 38 inches. So it was a tight squeeze."
The dive provided a lot of scientific data and specimens. Dijanna Figueroa (PhD), marine biologist, showed the students some photographs of the marine specimens Cameron saw at the ocean floor. She told them search for life on the bottom of the ocean is something that might help us understand life in our universe a little better.
"The more we learn about life on the bottom of the ocean and how it has adapted to the extreme environment, the more we can understand how life might evolve or adapt on other planets or planetary bodies like the moon of Jupiter, Europa," said Figueroa. "We think there is an ocean there, so perhaps organisms or life can actually survive down there."
Cameron became friends with Capt. Don Walsh (ret.), Trieste's co-pilot. He was there for the director's dive as well.
"He was the last hand that Jim shook before he went down, and he was the first to meet him when he came back," said Symons.
Symons was amazed by the Challenger Deep dive.
"I was sitting on the ship, and I thought 'this is the closest I will ever get to a moon landing,' said Symons. "I was pumped, jazzed, excited, a little nervous - but not much, because these guys did a lot of work on it for a long time and did a lot of testing."

Exactly. What we have is a unitary, diffuse monarchy that is much smarter than the general voting population.
The Democrat/Republican party dichotomy is nothing but an illusion, intentionally manipulated by a united political ruling class to split the public and keep them arguing over simplistic, divisive social issues.
"Conservatives" who vote for Republican candidates over issues such as gay marriage and abortion are just as much to blame for the loss of our Republic as are "liberals" who vote for Democrats over issues like gay marriage and abortion.
We're playing right into their hands, because while NONE of them give a rat's ass about these issues, our squabbling over them keep us distracted from what they are really doing.

This was an apartment it is not a hotel. We stayed there for 3 days and it was very nice however we didn't know it was an apartment so instead of checking in we had to call ahead and meet the host who was very nice. Would stay again
Beautiful apartment in a terrific location. Would not stay anywhere else in Amsterdam after this experience!
The location was perfect for transport links around Amsterdam and close to Anne Frank
