How to Succeed at Social Media Marketing Without Spending Money
Depending on where you turn, you're going to hear a million different things and opinions about social media marketing. Some will say social media is, and should remain, free to use. Some will say you have to pay for ads to see success. Some will say you need an active account on every social media platform. Others will say to focus on only one or two accounts. Some will say you need to post once a day, others will tell you to post 3-5 times a day. Some will tell you text based content is optimal while others insist photos produce the best results.
You get my drift.
The reality is that none of these statements is either right or wrong.
Your social media success will depend on you, your business, how you run your campaigns, and how you execute your strategy.
And if you want to create a successful social media marketing strategy that doesn't involve ads, pay-per-click options, or costly promotions, you can do it. And you can succeed at it.
But it's going to take a different strategy than those who choose to use methods that rely on cash to grow their exposure and results.
To be clear up front, when I say you can succeed at social media marketing without spending money, I am referring to the direct costs associated with paying for marketing tactics. No matter what, everything costs money. Time is money. And someone – or multiple people – need to spend quality time on social media. This time and effort (and salaries) aren't free.
Education often isn't free either. You may need to take courses, hire a consultant, or buy books to educate yourself properly. There are a TON of free resources out there (heck, you're here on my blog for free right?) but sometimes you may need to up the ante and pay for some quality training or support.
That being said, yes, you can successfully market your business on social media without spending money. But no, this isn't a gimmick or get-rich-quick scheme. So if you're looking for that, this is not the solution for you.
The reason I can say that you can market on social media without spending money is that I am proof of it.
I started this journey with no money to invest. I grew my audience and presence slowly, but effectively. I broadened my horizons regularly and tried new things. And while I'm no where near the end of the journey, a year and a half into the journey, I've made huge strides towards success.
As many of you know (and if not, you can read this post), I write this blog and grow my business in my "spare" time. I have a full time day job, unrelated to this world, so this is what I do outside of work hours. I have devoted a lot of time, but it's not my only commitment – far from it.
I also didn't want to invest any money up front because I had no idea what to expect. I started my blog on a free wordpress.com site so I didn't even have to pay for hosting or themes. To be fair, I did switch to a new, hosted site in September 2013 in order to better grow my business and customize my website. But if you have a business, you know the value of a well formatted website.
As my blog grew and my business grew, I wanted to continue to see what I could achieve without financial infusions. I constantly write about how to use free social media marketing practices and I would feel hypocritical to stand there telling you to do one thing while I did another. So I continued to market my business without spending money. It was just my time and input.
In the year and a half since I started this blog, I have made money from consulting clients and ebook sales. I have just recently launched a new Instagram training program and have multiple speaking engagements and presentations lined up for later this year.
But enough about me. Here are my best tips on how to succeed with social media without spending money on ads, promotions, and costly marketing.
Build Relationships
If you have been following my blog or social media accounts for any period of time, you know how much value I place on relationships. I choose to connect with my audience on a personal level. I'm not throwing spam at them. I'm not talking about my own content and how awesome it is. No. Instead, I help them. I work with them. I give them what they want and need.
And most importantly, I have conversations with them. Ask questions – get answers. Get asked questions – give answers. Respond to comments and keep the dialogue going.
People want to talk to people. Building a real relationship with your audience means that you can promote and grow your business without being salesy, slimy, or dumping tons of money into ads. Because you don't have to pay to get people to hear your message. When you have a relationship with them, they want to hear your message.
To create relationships, you have to be real. You have to be authentic. Make fun of yourself when it's appropriate. Tell people what's going on in your business. Share your stories – successful and disappointing. Post pictures that let your audience into your world (behind-the-scenes, employees, your work place, entertainment, challenges, etc.).
Remember, people aren't on social media to see what your business is selling today. They're there to see what's happening in the lives of those they choose to follow. Embrace that mentality.
Really, I could end this post here. If you don't have relationships with your customers and audience, you will have to spend money.
But there are additional tactics you can employ – many of which fall into a part of the relationship aspect – to see even more success without financial infusions into social media.
Find Social Media Partners
I want to advise this tactic cautiously. This ties in directly to having relationships, not trying to game a system.
One reason I've come so far in my business is because of the help of others. People who have small, medium, and large devoted audiences have shared my content, promoted my services, or recommended me to potential clients. These relationships with my "partners" have been invaluable.
Obviously, when a person with hundreds of thousands of followers shares your content or mentions your name, it's gonna be a great piece of promotion for your business. But you can't go out looking for it, asking for it, or trying to barter for it.
I never went out looking for a share-for-share opportunity. I have never shared anyone's content or promoted a company that I don't personally recommend or agree with. Instead, I got to know people. I forged relationships with people and they referred me to others. This becomes a snowball effect and will help you get plenty of attention – the right way.
Stop Focusing on the Numbers
I know this is easier said than done. I still look at my numbers – numbers of likes, numbers of followers, numbers of subscribers, numbers of visits, numbers of referral visitors, numbers of sales, etc.
But it shouldn't be just about the numbers. It should be about the growth of those numbers. You see, my numbers are different than your numbers which are different than your competitors numbers. So instead of focusing on how many fans you have, look at how many fans you've gained in a certain period of time. And look at how those fans (old and new) are engaging with your content. 100 highly engaged fans, directly involved in your conversation are much better for business than 1000 fans who ignore your content and your business.
Use a Strategy and Set Goals
Most importantly, for any success, you need a strategy. Throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks won't bring long-term success. Sure, you can try the occasional "test" but every test should be a part of a strategic plan.
Knowing what you want and where you want to be allows you to focus on the right things. Maybe Facebook is your best plan. Or maybe it's Twitter. Maybe you should dominate one site. Or maybe you should delve into all the major platforms. Maybe you want 10 new clients. Or maybe you want $10,000 in sales.
A clear strategy and defined goals will allow you to focus your time and resources where they will benefit you most. And these may evolve over months or years. But they allow you to maximize your investment of time and social media content.
Your goals and your strategy are unique to you and your business. But without these being clearly defined, you're going to try everything you can think of. And much of the time, this will result in turning to ads and promotions that you "hope" will be the solution.
On a side note, even if you do use ads, you still need a clear strategy. Otherwise, your ads will be wasted money on an undefined audience.
Give Away Free Stuff
People love free stuff. You do. And so you do your customers. So give them free stuff. Lots of it.
Give away ebooks, videos, blog posts, consultations, or whatever else you can think of. You can also be a guest on someone's podcast. Quality free products or services that actually prove your worth are a million times more valuable than any paid ad. And posts for free stuff get shared – a lot! That will get you exposure and reach that you can't get on your own.
Using these free things, you can also be working to build your list. You own your list. You can keep in contact with your audience directly through your list.
And, using your list, or if you have a well respected blog or social media presence, you can actually promote your own products or services intermittently without needing to pay for the promotion.
Provide Social Media Exclusive Discounts
Almost as much as they like free stuff, people love discounts. Offering discounts exclusive to social media followers is a really good way to reward your fans and grow your business through social media. Most consumers that choose to follow a brand on social media do so because they want a discount. And while discounts shouldn't be your only reason to have people follow you, it is a very effective method.
People are also more likely to share content that advertises a discount. They want their friends to get the same good discounts too. So not only do you reach your current audience, but you can reach new audiences, grow your fan base, and drive sales. Sounds like a win-win to me!
Run Contests
Contests are a great way to boost your business, your brand awareness, get new fans, and make sales. But you have to use them well.
First of all, your "prize" should never be a free iPad (or other similar gimmick). Well, unless you sell Mac products. Then maybe it could be. But really, your prize should be something from your business. Maybe it's a free service, or a free product, or a discount, or an exclusive benefit. It should also be something that doesn't cost you to give it away. Essentially, it will become a loss leader, but it shouldn't be something you have to pay to get.
And, depending on the platform you're using, you can usually run a contest for free on social media. Some Facebook apps will cost a small amount to run an effective contest. And I do recommend you use these tools since they will help you significantly in managing the contest. But, you can also run a contest for free on Facebook. And you can run a contest on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and other sites for free. Just always make sure you adhere to all platform contest rules.
As I said, none of these tactics are quick fixes or get-rich-quick schemes. They are a part of an entire social media strategy. And when executed properly, can be highly rewarding.
Now, I'm not gonna lie. I do have anticipations of embracing Facebook ads in the future. It's likely an inevitable next step to grow my business where I want it to go. But I insist on holding out as long as I can, to continue to prove to you – and myself – that you can successfully market your business on social media without spending a bunch of money. That, and I still don't like the idea of paying Facebook, but that's a whole other story! 😉

Guess I don't have to tell you how I feel about your suggestions???? Spot On! As you stated at the beginning, yes, your time is money. But, many businesses, especially small ones, simply to not have the additional funds to go beyond that. And that is where your tips come in. One thing I would add, is to try to find a niche (I know, overused word) where you can stand out. In my business, I needed to separate myself from what the larger, well-known companies were doing. That is why my focus has been on Small Business and women-owned business. This way I could focus my efforts there (saving some time) and not bang my head against the wall trying to be heard in a larger market.
These are great tips, Jenn! I especially love the giveaway idea–I'm opening an etsy shop soon and want to try to figure out how to get more interest by doing a giveaway.
I think my biggest hurdle is figuring out which social media sites to focus on–I'm on quite a few right now and I don't feel like I'm managing all of them very well.
Great post!
Jenn, it has been a great pleasure to watch you grow and succeed! Thank you for always posting such great articles that we can all relate to!
Great tips Jenn! But how do you find strategic partners? I've had people approach me and say I'll give you x money if someone you refer buys my product. Those didn't work because I didn't like their product or it wasn't good for my audience.
I want to connect with other coaches or service based individuals who serve my target. How do you approach someone about partnering when you do have a good relationships with said person and don't want to ruin it?
Hello Jenn,
These are some excellent tips! I agree time is definitely money. If you aren't spending money you will spend time. I, myself am still trying to find my way on social media. I have to say I have been using Google+ more than anything and that's where I get more of my interaction from but I would also like to better utilize twitter too. Thanks for sharing this with us!
As we are just launching BlogNobbers, this is great information to help us with our marketing strategies. Awesome post!!
Hi Jenn, I love your blog and especially your attitude: if you really want it, you can make it happen! I also agree that Social Media should be done inhouse – supplemented with project based support from experts. However, adding Ads, whether SEM or on Social Networks might be a valid option for businesses who do not have a second source of income ( like you do with your day job) and need to hit the ground running to get customers. Other industries might have much higher operational costs that make it impossible to grow a customer base organically. I just want to point out that growing your business slow and without financial investment might not be the best decision for every type of business.
[…] If you're trying to grow your online marketing, you may struggle with the costs. Here's how you can succeed at social media marketing without spending money […]
I'm a new fan of your blog and IG. I just connected with your IG podcast on Social Media Examiner. I'm completely new to this social media marketing and I'm trying to take in as much info as I can. I actually emailed you not to long ago. Hope to hear from you soon! Can't wait to learn more from you.

KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, IN (Indiana's NewsCenter) --- He's only a child, but 12-year old Paul Gingerich was sentenced Tuesday like an adult in connection with a gun slaying last spring.
Defense lawyers in the Kosciusko County case say the punishment handed down does not equate to justice served.
A 25-year sentence was doled out to the young boy on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder for the shooting death of 49-year old Phillip Danner.
Danner was shot and killed in his Cromwell home in April of last year.
The sentence for Gingerich is essentially what Danner's 15-year old stepson Colt Lundy received, and Gingerich's lawyers say that's not fair, because they believe Lundy was the mastermind behind the killing.
Gingerich told the court he was sorry for what happened to Danner, saying, "I did wrong and I stand ready to take my punishment."
Lundy obtained guns and he and Gingerich shot and killed Danner, before the two boys and another 12-year old drove to Illinois, where they were apprehended.
Lundy told authorities the boys planned to run away to Arizona and sell t-shirts to drug dealers.
The defense argues Lundy hatched the idea and bullied the others into going along with the killing.
William Cohen/Defense Lawyer: " He's like a pied piper. He's a 15-year old boy telling these 12-year old boys what to do, and that's basically what happened, it's not like Paul Gingerich, a 12-year old, had any idea to do that."
Cohen claims that Lundy at times shot the other boys with BB guns, and that they followed his lead out of fear.
Cohen and co-counsel Fred Franco were most disturbed that Kosciusko County Circuit Court Judge Rex Reed sent Gingerich to the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, a youth incarcerated as adults center, rather than a juvenile prison.
The family of Phillip Danner did not speak at the hearing, but Judge Reed said they expressed their frustration to him in letters, questioning why the murder charges against Lundy and Gingerich were thrown out in plea agreements.
Prosecutors opted to accept the lesser conspiracy to commit murder charges.
Judge Reed said this case has caused him much frustration, that he'd like to know why the killing happened, but he conceded we'd likely never get a satisfactory answer.
He added we couldn't lose sight of the fact this case is really about Phillip Danner, who cannot be brought back to his grief-stricken family.

Birding Drives Dakota
Search for sandhill cranes, sharp-tailed sparrows and more
North Dakota is one of the nation's great birding destinations, if one of its least frequented. Dedicated birders can count more than 300 reasons to visit the state: sandhill cranes, Nelson's sharp-tailed sparrows, American white pelicans, chestnut collared longspurs, marbled godwits, upland sandpipers and Wilson's phalaropes among them. Because of the distances between the best sites, an organisation called Birding Drives Dakota has worked with professional biologists, ornithologists and some of the state's 62 national wildlife refuges (NWRs) to create nine 'birding drives'.
All are located in the central portion of the state, in and around Kidder, Stutsman and Foster counties. With a total human population of only 2,750—about two people per square mile—Kidder County is the essence of rural prairie land, with four NWRs. Long Lake NWR is a breeding and migratory stopover for more than 20,000 shorebirds. Thousands of sandhill cranes also stage here each spring and autumn, and the endangered whooping crane can be seen occasionally as well. Visitors who come for Jamestown's Potholes & Prairie Birding Festival in early June might be treated to the intricate courtship dances of Clark's and western grebes, in addition to a diverse menu of prairie sparrows. The 4,385-acre Chase Lake NWR in Stutsman County is known as a nesting spot for gulls, cormorants and the largest colony of white pelicans in North America.
If you need a break from the binoculars, check out some of the area's unique sculptures, such as the World's Largest Sandhill Crane; at 38 feet tall, it towers over the prairie outside of Steele. In Jamestown, the World's Largest Concrete Buffalo weighs 60 tons and stands 26 feet tall and 46 feet long. And 'Salem Sue', the World's Largest Holstein Cow, stands on top of a hill at I-94's exit 127. Further west, along the Enchanted Highway, between Gladstone and Regent, local artists are erecting the biggest collection of large metal animal sculptures in the world: giant pheasants, deer and grasshoppers.

Cuts to the district's staff, including teaching positions, may be necessary this school year to help Montague Area Public Schools survive financially, school officials said.
Montague Superintendent David Sipka, who has been on the job for three months, painted a bleak picture of the district's finances Monday night while providing a budget update for the school board.
He admitted that cuts could be the only solution to the district's ever-dwindling savings.
"We need to reduce our budget, that is clear," Sipka said. "This year we're going to have to look at every aspect of what our district does."
He said the "doomsday year" could occur next year or in two years if the district continues to dip into its savings every year to balance its budget. However, he pointed out that many factors, including a potential increase in the state foundation grant and an increase in enrollment could alleviate some of the district's concerns.
In the worst-case scenarios, no increase in the state foundation allowance and all budgeted money for this year is used, the district's fund balance or savings would decrease to $237,252 or 1.8 percent of an annual budget. Auditors recommend school districts' savings total a minimum of 10 percent of their budget.
The fund equity would be greatly reduced following the 2007-08 school year if the spending goes unchecked and the foundation grant remains the same, Sipka said.
A projected deficit of nearly $1 million is forecast for this year because the actual enrollment is 30 fewer than the number used for the budget.

Development: Higher gravel cost worth it
As a resident of the Dugualla community I will gladly trade cost for safety. If paying more for gravel to be trucked on the island means that my family and neighbors will no longer be in danger of being hit, injured or possibly killed by one of these gravel trucks as we drive out of our neighborhood then the higher cost of gravel is worth it to me. However, since Whidbey Island has an abundance of gravel pits I don't see the cost skyrocketing anytime soon.

JB Green Team reorganizes
BELLAIRE — The JB Green Team board of trustees met Monday evening for its annual organizational realignment, retaining Bob Chapman as chairman.
Chapman thanked the board advising that he would fill the post but cautioned that he plans to run for the vacant 6th ward seat on Steubenville council and may have to resign if he is elected.
Belmont County Commissioner Matt Coffland was selected as vice-chair but told board members that he could not fill the chairman position in the event that Chapman would resign.
Bruce Misselwitz was nominated and elected to remain as board secretary.
Executive committee members for 2013 will be Chapman as chair, Coffland, Dave Maple, Misselwitz and Cathy Davison. Davison will chair the finance committee with Barb Godwin, Paul Riethmiller and Chapman. John Abdella will again chair the personnel committee with Mark McVey, Riethmiller, Anthony Kolaski and Terry Bell seated. Barb Godwin will chair the grants committee with Rob Sproul, William Weekley and McVey.
Tom Bottorf will chair the planning committee with Sproul, Misselwitz, Chuck Dawson and Bell.
The board renewed contracts with Dave Hays as fiscal officer and John Mascio Jr., as solicitor for the JB Green Team. The contract with Hays for three years and Mascio for one year will be referered to the finance committee for terms.
Cliff Meyers delivered the executive director's report stating that the compactor is two weeks out and will be delivered with two containers with lids. Meyers also asked the board to approve $250,000 for an additional front loading truck. The fourth unit will be purchased due to expanding recycling units and Meyers also cited that three of the Mac truck body units had broken down with similar electrical issues in December.
The board approved the expense suggesting that the purchase be directed to a different manufacturer and may finance the purchase.
Meyers also told the board that the JB Green team would need to submit a new solid waste plan by January of 2014 and due to time constraints they would need to contract the services of an engineering firm.
It was decided that the board would contract with GT Environmental for a feasability and marketing study to give the board a cost breakdown. The board approved $30,000 for the study and approved proceeding with the expendature of an additional $30,000 for a second study to define particular policies and projects if the initial study determines feasability of the plan.
"We have a kind of unique situation with a transfer station and I will be contacting the Ohio Environmental Agency as the project is not in the current plan," said Meyers. "The proposal with scope will be referred to the planning committee upon receiving the feasability study from GT Environmental."
"We are bumping up against deadlines," added Meyers. "The next step in the process is fast approaching in March."
Meyers also reported that the glass segregation program had collected 15 tons at $27 a ton last month. He also stated that the Powhatan Point Curbside Program will continue on a provisional basis for 6 months.
Barb Godwin told the board that less than half of the forms had been returned from the 2012 grant program, "The deadline is from the first of February and forms not returned with photos by that date will be determined inelligible."
Misselwitz gave the APEX report in which he told the board that the landfill had been approved to accept solidifcation from the drilling industry. "APEX can not accept any liquid waste.
"The radioactive waste is a concern however the liquid can not leave the drilling site for 27 days and must be solid before entering the landfill."
Misselwitz reported that the license for the facility had been renewed after negotations also reporting that Ohio HB 592 review had prompted standardization of inspections and he would update the board at the february meeting.
The Grand Theater Restoration Project of Steubenville had asked the board for a grant to remove five barrels of Methylene chloride, also called dichloromethane. The project is asking for assistance in the $2000 removal fee bid by Enviro Service of Cleveland.
The next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 11 at the Steubenville City Hall.

Great, Hotel, Excellent staff.
Fairfield Inn & Suites Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids
Nice hotel
the rooms were very nice and clean and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was more than I expected, so nice to see a full breakfast and not just some packaged goods. The Pillows were way too hard for me, so I used a rolled up towel, I don't know if they had others and was too tired to ask. the other thing was the shower was luke warm at 730 am in the morning... I really prefer hot showers. Other than that, very nice hotel.

If you would rather not leave the house, you can also purchase online. Verizon offers both 16GB and 32GB in both official colors so you'll have a few more options to choose from rather than some carriers (AT&T) only offering the 16GB.

Looking for a fun and easy project that you can make with the kids to help everyone get into the holiday spirit?
These easy rag wreath ornaments are quick and simply to make and if your children can tie a basic knot (like the the first knot in tying their shoes) they can help make these cute ornaments to hang on your tree at home or to gift to family and friends. Here's what you need.
- Fabric Strips in Seasonal Colors
- Metal Ring (we used a ring from canning lid minus the lid, but any metal ring would work)
- Ribbon (if you want to add a bow to the front of your wreath)
Step 1: Cut your fabric into strips. (We cut ours 7 inches long and 3/4 inches wide)
Step 2: Using one fabric strip at a time, tie the strips around the metal ring in a knot. Keep the knots close together and vary the colors and patterns to keep your wreath fun and festive.
Step 3: Keep tying your strips into knots all the way around the wreath filling up the metal ring.
Step Four: You can also add a bow, buttons or other fun decorations to finish off your wreath with final touches. We kept ours simple since the kids were making them, but if you're making them on your own without little helpers, they could definitely get a lot more decorated and festive.

Cape Town honours Nelson Mandela
Page Content
If you've driven into the centre of Cape Town recently, you'll have noticed a giant artwork of former president Nelson Mandela plastered on the Civic Centre.
This image forms part of the Nelson Mandela Legacy Exhibition, which will officially open on the Concourse Level of the Civic Centre on Sunday, 30 June 2013.
The City of Cape Town has declared 2013 a special year to celebrate and honour the former president, and will adopt a new set of values and principles to underpin its governance, modelled on his example.
The Cape Town Honours Nelson Mandela programme is a special Mayoral project formed to pay tribute to the country's first democratically-elected president; to expose a new generation to his legacy; and to engage Cape Town residents in developing a new moral code for governance in the city. It has the blessing of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory.
At least 25 000 learners will be given the opportunity to see the exhibition, while a series of focus group discussions will be convened to discuss Mandela's legacy and complete the text for the City of Cape Town pledge – a new value statement for the City.
"Mr Mandela's greatest gift to South Africa was to provide a template of leadership to which we should all aspire. His generosity of spirit formed the bridge that all South Africans used to cross from our divided past to an inclusive future. He transcended race, he transcended class and he transcended geographic, cultural and political divisions," says Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille.
"The qualities that he personally brought to the hard tasks of achieving our democracy, of creating our Constitution, establishing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, fostering education and combating HIV and Aids are qualities that the City of Cape Town is committed to emulating," she adds.
The multimedia exhibition will showcase Mandela's relationship with Cape Town, and will contain photographs by Benny Gool and Adil Bradlow.
The giant artwork on the Civic Centre was conceived by Abie Collins and Alberic Vollmer of Dreamfuel Media, and drawn by Linsey Levendall. It was drawn on A3-sized paper before a high-definition scan was produced to upscale it and cut it into 660 separate pieces for separate windows. A team of abseilers took four days to complete the task of putting it into place.

Complete perfect road trip with a 3-1 victory over Manchester
On this trip, the St. John's IceCaps didn't get tripped up once..
Paul Postma assisted on all the St. John's goals and Michael Hutchinson made 28 saves as the IceCaps beat the Manchester Monarchs 3-1 in American Hockey League action Saturday night in Manchester, N.H., completing a New England road swing that saw St. John's (26-16-3) win all five games.
Adam Lowry, Kyle McKinnon and team captain Jason Jaffray had the goals for the IceCaps, who have won six games in a row — tying a franchise record — and eight of their last nine contests.
Linden Vey had the only goal for Manchester (29-13-7).
St. John's last loss was Jan. 18, when it was shut out 6-0 by the Monarchs at Mile One Centre. Since then, the IceCaps have outscored the opposition 26-12, with Hutchinson getting the start in every game.
What's more, two of their wins in the six-game winning streak have come against Eastern Conference-leading Manchester, improving St. John's record to 6-3 against the Monarchs so far this season. In fact, six of Manchester's 13 losses this season have been to St. John's.
The IceCaps return home in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference with the Albany Devils, a point behind the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and Norfolk Admirals and three points ahead of the Hershey Bears, who hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the conference.
St. John's next plays Tuesday and Wednesday, when it hosts the Providence Bruins (23-18-6) at Mile One Centre.
IceCaps' head coach Keith McCambridge used the same lineup as he did on Friday, when St. John's beat the Portland Pirates 7-4. That meant there were seven defencemen dressed, including Postma, playing his second game after a conditioning assignment from the parent Winnipeg Jets .... Forwards Austen Brassard, Josh Lunden and Ryan Schnell, along with defenceman Kris Fredheim were scratches for the IceCaps. Lunden and Fredheim are injured ... St. John's went 1-for-3 with the man advantage and 3-for-3 on the penalty kill Saturday. The IceCaps scored at least one power-play goal in each of its five wins on the road swing, and went 10-for-28 overall. They allowed just three power-play goals in 22 opposition opportunities during the trip ... The Molson Canadian three stars Saturday: 1. Postma 2. Hutchinson 3. Vey… Brian Rogers' choice as the Mary Brown's hardest-working IceCap: Adam Lowry ...

By RON CHIMELIS
BOSTON - Nearly 50 years after becoming baseball's last team to integrate its roster, the Red Sox honored a pioneer at Fenway Park Friday night.
Elijah "Pumpsie" Green threw out a ceremonial first pitch before Boston's game against Baltimore. Green, 75, made his major league debut as a pinch-runner July 21, 1959 against the White Sox in Chicago.
His first game at Fenway Park came two weeks later, when he started at second base against the Kansas City Athletics on Aug. 4, 1959.
This week, Major League Baseball is honoring Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball's color barrier 62 years ago on April 15, 1947.
Not until 12 years later did the Tom Yawkey-owned Red Sox become the 16th and final major league team to integrate.
Green hit .244 with 12 home runs in 327 games for the Red Sox from 1959-62, and played 29 games for the New York Mets in 1963 before he retired.
He has returned to Boston only occasionally since retirement.
MASTERSON MONDAY: Right-hander Justin Masterson will start Monday's Patriots Day game.
He takes the rotation spot of Daisuke Matsuzaka, who went on the disabled list for a shoulder strain after pitching one inning at Oakland Tuesday. Masterson relieved him and pitched four two-hit, shutout innings.
As a rookie last year, Masterson made nine starts and 27 relief appearances. In spring training, he made seven appearances with three starts.
Because of Thursday's off day, Boston could have skipped Matsuzaka's spot and come back with Tim Wakefield on normal rest. Manager Terry Francona liked to give his pitchers extra rest when possible, though.
LOWRIE PONDERS: Jed Lowrie will see a specialist next week in Arizona to decide if he needs season-ending surgery on his fractured left wrist.
According to the Boston Globe blog, Lowrie hopes surgery is not necessary.
FLAWLESS: Jacoby Ellsbury entered Friday's game with 182 errorless games in his career. He holds the Red Sox record for outfielders, having passed Mike Greenwell, who had 178 in 1993-94.
On Wednesday, Ellsbury passed Coco Crisp for most consecutive errorless chances. He entered Friday with 433 to Crisp's 429.

Home builders and HERS raters in the US have been up in arms about the new changes with Version 3 of the ENERGY STAR new homes program. Guess what? Canada thinks we're wimps. Here's why:
- We've had 3 big changes in about 17 years; they've had 5 in 6 years.
- ENERGY STAR Version 2 (US) is roughly equivalent to their 2009 energy code.
- ENERGY STAR Version 3 (US) is roughly equivalent to their 2012 energy code.
John Godden, who brought me up to Toronto to teach the first HERS rater class in Canada this week, has thrown down the gauntlet to US home builders. John describes himself as a recovering builder (like I'm a recovering academic) and is Canada's Green Building Champion of the Year. Here's his challenge:
Which country, US or Canada, can get more homes to a HERS Index of 50 or below for all of 2011?
I know the year is two thirds gone already, but let's see what we can do. I know I've approved quite about 50 files this year that achieved that level of home energy efficiency. Once I return to the States next week, I'll start collecting info so we kick Canada's collective butts! The way we do in hockey.
Don't we beat them in hockey? I have no idea, but we must've beaten them sometime. I think the answer is in this video somewhere, but I need to sit down with my calculator and work it out.
Well, OK, forget hockey. Does anyone understand it anyway? Let's focus on this Cross Border Challenge of getting the most homes to a HERS Index of 50. I'll set up a page on the Energy Vanguard website to start tracking US homes soon. Send me your data!

Get Laura Home Benefit, Sunday, Sept. 16
The Get Laura Home fund is hosting a fundraiser this weekend to raise funds for an accessibility remodeling. The Family Fun Festival fundraiser will be on Sunday, Sept. 16 at Harnischfeger Park on Crawfish Rd. in Ixonia from 11-7 p.m. There will be live music, bouncing houses, family photos, park rentals, face painting, silent auctions and great food.
Funds are for Laura Dwyer who was critically injured after a tree branch, weighing 600 pounds, fell on her in May. Her spinal cord was completely severed and she broke several bones in her feet, arm and ribs. Through exhaustive therapy, she was able to leave the hospital but remains in a wheelchair.
Today, she lives with her parents because her old farm home in Oconomowoc is not ADA accessible. She looks forward to the remodels that will allow her to live and move freely in her own home, with her husband Christopher and two children, Thomas, 5, Crandon, 6, and her two stepchildren, Anya, 12, and Christopher Jr., 17.
You may email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information, or if you would like to help.

Submitted by Rae Shirer, District Governor
Sadly, our District lost a treasure today. Dorothy "Dottie" Young, beloved wife of Past District Governor James Young, passed away today with family at her side.
Jim and Dottie married in 1943 and both had distinguished careers in education. From 1947-1958, while Jim served as head of the Speech and Drama Department at Pepperdine College, Dottie was a member of the Faculty Wives and served as the organization's president. When Jim moved on to California State University at Fullerton to found the Theater and Dance Department, Dorothy became an active participant in the Faculty Wives organization on that campus.
In her own career, Dottie was a master teacher at 74th Street School in Los Angeles and taught first and second grades at Golden Hill School in Fullerton for 21 years.
Dottie was active in drives for the American Heart Association and for breast cancer organizations, was involved in the founding of the Fullerton Arboretum and the Muckenthaler Center, and served in PTA groups at Ladera Vista Junior High School and Fullerton High School. She also served on the health and hospitality committee at Morningside in Fullerton where she and Jim resided.
As Jim often said, "She was always out there doing something for someone."
Jim and the family have requested that no flowers be sent, but that each Rotarian hold Dottie in their hearts and prayers. Donations in Dottie's name to organizations she supported, including The Rotary Foundation and the Cal State Fullerton theater arts program, are welcome.

Police in Northampton County have arrested two people they said were operating a meth lab inside a home with children inside.
Members of the Northampton County Drug Task Force and the Pennsylvania State Police Special Emergency Response Team served a warrant at a home at 2615 Old River Road in Forks Township. Police said the home was under surveillance for several months, and a warrant was obtained under the suspicion of manufacturing and trafficking methamphetamine.
As a result of the investigation, police said they found methamphetamine, chemicals and equipment to produce meth, scales, 40 firearms, and a silencer for a firearm. Police said three children under the age of 18 were also found inside the home, in an adjoining room to where the alleged meth lab was found.
Police arrested Donika Douris, 38, and David Link, 54, both of Easton. Both are facing several charges including operating a meth lab, manufacturing methamphetamine with a child present, and more.
Both were arraigned on those charges Saturday afternoon.

A list of foxes
So you begin to think, What the hell does it matter if I keep writing my insignificant little blog/arguing with my right wing cousins/volunteering to lick envelopes for the Sierra Club? Bush only has two more years and he's the lamest of lame ducks.
The next time you feel that feeling coming on, I want you to think of all the high-paid embarrassments Bush has nominated to powerful positions during his time in office.
The full list doesn't exist yet, but it's starting to take shape. Ruth Marcus had an excellent round-up today of examples of what she called the Bush administration's "fox-guarding-the-henhouse personnel plan." (I wrote something about this the other day, pointing out that this isn't just Bush's problem, but an error that grows straight from the root of Republican ideology.) When you see lists like Marcus's, you start to realize just how completely inept, corrupt and partisan the Bushies have been. Sure, you know that new scandals drop daily, but, my God, the ubiquity of failure and abuse of power in this administration is, perhaps, unrivaled by any that has come before it.
Marcus, for example, lists by name
- Eric Keroack
- Michael Baroody
- Julie MacDonald
- J. Steven Griles
- Sue Ellen Wooldridge
- Lurita Doan
(A) Pentagon that can't take proper care of its wounded, a Justice Department that can't be trusted to follow the law or tell the truth to Congress, a top White House aide who lied to a grand jury...TPMmuckraker provided a similar, longer list a while back (which had only one name in common with Marcus's list), but that list only included "indicted/resigned" Bush officials in response to Power Liner Paul Mirengoff's claim that the only Bushie he could "think of who has faced criminal charges or had to resign in the face of scandal is Scooter Libby."
But neither list is complete.
They don't include, for example:
- Kenneth Tomlinson, Jonah Goldberg's good buddy, who used his position of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to try to prove that the organization's broadcast entities--NPR and PBS--were slanted to the left. To do this, he paid $14,000 of taxpayer funds for an embarrassingly partisan, error-riddled survey, stepping down from the CPB after it became public. Tomlinson remained chairman of the State Department's Broadcasting Board of Governor's, however, where he
improperly hired a friend as a contractor, starting at $88,000 a year;...had staffers run personal errands, such as buying a belt, flowers, and books;...charged the government for too many hours on the clock;...charged the agency for days he also worked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; and, incredibly,...operated his horseracing business out of his government officeTomlinson is still on the job.
- Alphonso Jackson, Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, who, in a forum sponsored by a national minority real estate group, said that he had denied a contract to a contractor who had "a problem with the president."
"He had made every effort to get a contract with HUD for 10 years," Jackson said of the prospective contractor. "He made a heck of a proposal and was on the (General Services Administration) list, so we selected him. He came to see me and thank me for selecting him. Then he said something ... he said, 'I have a problem with your president.'When those remarks sparked an investigation, Jackson said he was just lying. The inspector general of HUD found that, while Jackson had, indeed, tried to push contracts toward Bush supporters, there was no evidence that any contracts were, in fact, given out on a political basis. This, according Jackson, was vindication and he released a statement saying that "during (his) tenure, no contract has been cancelled, rescinded, terminated, awarded or not awarded due to the personal or political benefits of the recipient." In other words, Jackson was saying that, while the IG might have accused him of attempting to break federal law, it hadn't actually been broken. This was good enough for the Bushies. Jackson is still on the job.
"I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'I don't like President Bush.' I thought to myself, 'Brother, you have a disconnect -- the president is elected, I was selected. You wouldn't be getting the contract unless I was sitting here. If you have a problem with the president, don't tell the secretary.'
"He didn't get the contract," Jackson continued. "Why should I reward someone who doesn't like the president, so they can use funds to try to campaign against the president? Logic says they don't get the contract. That's the way I believe."
Every time you think just two more years and decide to relax a bit, remember this list. Bush's nominees will not stop fucking up this country even for a second. They have proven that they couldn't run a children's birthday party without causing serious injury, paying five times too much for a Halliburton-baked cake and attracting a dozen indictments, but because they don't believe that a government can help its people, they use even their own failures as justification for their ideology. There's a lot of damage they can still do.
Let this list piss you off every day.
And get back to work.

Bishop Cistone, the unsaid message you conveyed at last week's meeting spoke more frankly than the words you said about hearing our "hearts"
You trivialized the concern of parents about the future of the parochial school as another, "Don't close my school" campaign. You did not address the impact the closure of two Bay City schools will have on the community you pastor. You didn't hear the parents commit to support and sacrifice, in unity, to keep a faith-based entity for our children.
I heard the Holy Trinity parents, generous in spirit, who volunteered to become boosters for St. James because they realize that closing the largest of the three elementary schools will lead to the demise of All Saints High School. I heard parents willing to donate their time and talent for our common good. I heard parents asking you to join us in seeking a constructive, rather than destructive, solution to this problem.
Please Bishop Cistone, listen with your heart and ears to what we are saying.

Bicep curls (with curled barbell)
Revers Bicep Curls
French Curls
The only thing you should ever curl is your hair or your eye lashes. Do some heavy pull ups focusing on the negative and stop wasting your time.
Dips are a great compound move which allow you to move more weight. Closegrip bench press is fantastic also.
I used to perform skullcrushers (what you are calling french presses) lying on the floor, so each rep was taken from a dead stop. This eliminated momentum and worked the muscle harder.

You said you want to be a body builder?
Do you know the difference between bodybuilding and powerlifting programs for the first couple of years (starting from novice)?
There isn't one. You are trying to do an intermediate program to focus on bodybuilding without exhausting the gains you can get from a novice program. Having a solid foundation of real strength will get you better results when you actually get into bodybuilding.
Starting Strength or Stronglifts will get you better results faster. In three months of SL you'll be doing 5x5x225 for squats. If you are really too impatient for that, then I doubt you will ever make it as a bodybuilder.
Hey just a bit of advice and explanation for others perceived hostility. first off its great you have made progress and want to take the next step. When people ask for advice and ignore what people are saying people get frustrated. Also, when people go through the mistakes of training for mass they get annoyed when they try to give advice since they reflect on the frustrations of their experience.
Okay so first off body building is something you do on top of an advanced muscular frame its the icing on the cake. All pros are roided up and even naturals are taking a slew of supps that I wouldnt say you should shove in your face. I think the best thing for anyone to do is a strength program with accessory work to balance out weaknesses in the core lifts. Muscularity is a benefit of strength, at the end of the day to get bigger you need to progress with heavier weight.
How I train is a combo of 531 triumvarate and west side principals with conditiong for tennis and metcon on the non lifting days. I suggest looking into 531 and doing that for about 4 months and then deciding if its for you (really seems like it would give you desired results) due to setting prs and llowing flexibility in the accessory work. Remember mobility and deep tissue work as well so you dont feel like trash on the reg.
Well I've decided I need to forget what I thought I knew about training. This morning I struggled to bench 115lbs, it was sad. I'm not strong and I need to get strong. When I first started training again at the end of September my goals were really more cosmetic than anything. This is a bad approach and my goals changed today when I could barely put up 115lbs. This is a major turning point for me, I felt really weak. I actually look pretty decent, I was just so obsessed with cutting the rest of the body fat, that's what cardio and dieting is for. I need to focus on strength when I lift, not calorie burn. I'm going to reread stronglifts and start again either wed or next Monday. You guys were right

You need to stick with a Linear Progression program until you no longer progress. The beginner routine outlined in Starting Strength is good, but I prefer something more along the lines of the Greyskull method. Something like Greyskull should have you progressing for atleast a couple of years. Then you can switch to a modified weekly progression or some other intermediate program (ie Texas Method).
I don't mean to butt in, but I've been doing stronglifts for about half a year now, and I've gotten great results so far - with my legs. I can squat at least my body weight (I'm not sure what my max is) and my last max deadlift was 250. On the other hand, I'm still using little more than the bar for push presses, and my max bench is only 90. I'm not sure if it's because, as a woman, it's more difficult for me to build upper body strength, or if I'm doing something wrong. What do you think?

ESCANABA - Michelle LaFave and the Escanaba Eskymos may have felt like they were in a tag-team wrestling match rather than a basketball game by the end of this one. The Gwinn Modeltowners stuffed the box, clung to LaFave all game and played a very physical game that was at times very frustrating for the Eskymos, but Escanaba pulled out a not-so-pretty 46-38 victory, Tuesday night.
"It was very physical. Were we expecting that? no. It was very scrappy," said Eskymos head coach Dena Fedell. "There were a lot of shots taken, a lot of missed easy buckets, but very scrappy play back and forth."
LaFave was at least double-teamed and trapped nearly all game, but still came up with 23 points, and had to work for every one of them. She also added 12 rebounds and four steals.

Escanaba's Michelle LaFave hits a layup in the first quarter, Tuesday night against Gwinn at Escanaba.
Gwinn's McKenzie Hollands drew the assignment of primarily guarding LaFave and did her best to ensure the Eskymos' center didn't get good looks.
"They did a good job taking LaFave out of the game in the second half, but she shot real well," said Gwinn head coach Ben Olsen. "They have a good player in the middle in LaFave and we did the best we could to hold her up."
The Eskymos got out to a fast start as guards' Ashley Cook and Lynsey Collins got plenty of steals between them and worked their fast break to an 18-8 lead after eight minutes.
Fact Box
Gwinn 8 17 8 5 - 38
Escanaba 18 5 10 13 - 46
Gwinn - Olsen 8, Hutchens 5, Hollands 12, Lauren 4, Aho 5, Talsma 4; FT: 8-16; F: 13; Fouled out: Hollands; 3-point field goals: Hollands 4.
Escanaba - Collins 13, Cook 1, Gafner 5, Connor 4, LaFave 23; FT: 10-16; F: 18; Fouled out: Collins; 3-point field goals: LaFave 2.
Collins had perhaps her best game as an Eskymo, finishing with a career high 13 points and four steals. She drew a tough assignment on defense as well, guarding Hollands for most of the game.
Hollands was a force in the first half, as she sunk four triples for a team high 12 points, prompting Fedell to make some adjustments.
"At one point we were playing our hybrid (man-zone) defense but because (Hollands) had such a beautiful shot, we had to take care of her, so I had to put Lynsey on the box-and-one on her," she said. "Once we did that, she didn't score in the second half. If I had put Lynsey on her in the beginning, maybe she wouldn't have gotten those shots off. (Hollands) just kept connecting and she had a hot hand. Once we shut that down, we were able to shut a lot of the inside down as well."
Gwinn (2-4) used its size to its advantage, taking charge in the paint, getting the tough offensive and defensive rebounds and just clogging things up for the Eskymos (2-2). But when LaFave got taken away on the inside, she moved back out to the perimeter where she sunk two three-pointers.
But Gwinn did accomplish what it set out to do in one respect. It stopped the Eskymos fast break in its tracks after the first quarter, as the Modeltowners upped their defensive intensity.
"We always seem to start out with a little bit of quickness, but somehow in the second or third quarter, something happens to change that, whether they come up with a different defense or offense, our girls get rattled. They're not perfect," said Fedell. "We did our job in the first quarter, but in the second and third quarter, we have to take care of the ball. We had the fast break and the looks, but we couldn't connect on those looks."
Still, Escanaba clung to a 41-38 lead with under a minute remaining in the game when LaFave was fouled on a layup attempt. Directly afterward, Olsen was called for a technical foul for arguing the call. Syd Gafner made both of her free throws, and LaFave made each of hers as well to put the game away.
"Overall, the girls handled themselves really well," said Fedell. "They were able to not be so distracted that they could get back into their game."
Escanaba, which won the junior varsity game 43-27, travels to Ishpeming Thursday while Gwinn plays at Houghton.

The former director of Warren County Children and Youth Services has been arrested on felony theft, forgery and access device fraud charges stemming from improper use of county vehicles and a corresponding cover-up.
A statement issued by Warren County District Attorney Robert Greene on Tuesday afternoon read, "Kevin G. Lundeen, the current director of Erie County CYS, has been arrested and arraigned for actions related to his employment with CYS in Warren County."
The criminal complaint, filed by Conewango Township Police Chief Jason Peters, alleges that Lundeen "did exercise unlawful control over two Warren/Forest County DHS (Department of Human Services) vehicles and all benefits and costs associated with those vehicles in the amount of $44,948."
In an attempt to hide that use, police wrote in the complaint that Lundeen "forged signatures of numerous persons (employees of Warren/Forest County DHS) on numerous documents including gas receipts, employee duty logs and travel logs on two separate... vehicles."
Additionally, Lundeen allegedly "(used) two separate Warren/Forest County DHS gas credit cards in the amount of $23,585" that was "unauthorized by the issuer or the device holder."
"Misuse of county assets by county employees will not be tolerated," said Greene, "and to the extent that Mr. Lundeen went to cover up this alleged theft is very disheartening."
Citing the total loss to the county of over $68,000, Greene said, "Mr. Lundeen will be held accountable for his actions and will pay back every penny he has cost the Warren County taxpayers."
Lundeen resigned his position in Warren County on April 10.
The investigation into his dealings in Warren County started on May 1, according to the affidavit of probable cause, when DHS Director Mary Kushner contacted police.
"Kushner advised that after Lundeen left his position with DHS to seek new employment with Erie Co DHS, they learned that Lundeen had falsified records regarding these vehicles and these credit cards." The affidavit also states that Lundeen was "fleet manager" for the vehicles as part of his job duties.
"Kushner, the Warren County Commissioners, and the Forest County Commissioners advised that the use of these vehicles was not authorized for personal use," according to the affidavit.
A release from the Warren County Commissioners said that the Commissioners "are committed to pursuing all available remedies until the County has been fully compensated.
"Given the pending criminal charges, the Warren County Commissioners decline further comment at this time."
Employees are required to sign gas receipts, according to the affidavit, in order to verify use. Officials with DHS "verified with those employees that their signatures were forged and it was later confessed to by Lundeen that he was the person that forged those signatures."
Police interviewed Lundeen on June 13 and again on June 26. Admitting to the allegations in both interviews, during the June 26 interview Lundeen "also advised that he had also used them (vehicles) for his employment Duties at DHS." The affidavit states that Lundeen admitted to forging the signatures "in an effort to hide his personal use of these vehicles."
The affidavit lists total lost to the county at $68,533, including gas, repairs, maintenance and insurance.
Online court records show a preliminary arraignment, with bail set at $50,000 unsecured, scheduled for Tuesday.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 23.

More importantly, they do this because they have been taught how to think versus memorize :-) Inspired by a recent trip to Italy where I saw the gigantic wall mural of Raphael's School of Athens I have developed a series of lessons called The School of Athens ~ Mind Adventures.
