its good to be back after having been gone for awhile! just had a quick question for everyone.... i was recently discussing with a friend and coworker who also has his concealed permit our carry options at work. our company doesnt have any restrictions as to our carrying while working but neither of us feel very comfortable doing it given the situations. does anybody know of a lock box that could be attached somewhere to the interior of my suv that is VERY secure but would allow me fast access if needed? thanks in advance!

i have a 2000 montero sport, it would have to be somewhere around the driver seat. i dont even know what to expect price wise...... i guess i would spend as much as i needed to as long as the money was justified with quality.....
This one has often been mentioned, and I purchased one for the wife.
It'll stop the common snatch and grabber - not necessarily the professionals.
Not much will stop the professionals...actually, your car will be gone, too, then they can work on the safe at their leisure.

Wrascal beat me to it. I would recommend the center-of-mass safes as well.

I have one that looks like the center of mass as well (I looked at the website that I think I got it from, and it looks the same there as well). I'm sorry, but I am not impressed with mine. I purchased it with the intent of purchasing several more for family members.
While I have used mine for some time (a year or two), I was too embarrassed with it to consider giving it as a gift. I am not sure, but I have often suspected that I could get a gun out of it w/o using the key. Perhaps it is more ridged bolted down, but just holding it I can twist it and get an awfully large crack between the top and the bottom. Basically if I sqeeze one side together, most of the time the top will slide past the bottom. As the top twists, there is a fairly large crack that opens on the other side. I will check mine tonight - but bet I can easily get that crack open to 1".
That said, if it was slightly heavier gauge metal, it would have probably worked fine, and perhaps they have changed them since I purchased mine.
I did see one a while back that looked interesting, it consisted of a metal sleeve that was bolted into the car. The safe itself was then slid (and locked) into the sleeve. The sleeve was most likely welded so prying it open would not be an easy task. Sorry but my search fu is week at the moment and i can not find the link.
mousehunter, either you got a lemon or a bogus C.O.M. safe. I have one and it is pretty solid and you have to be VERY strong to begin messing with it without tools.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

Just use a good pair of handcuffs, one end through the trigger guard and the other round the seat post. Works great and very secure!!!

Yes, the Center of Mass Gun Safe is what I use in my truck too!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

Ill def have to look into the center of mass, it looks like it would get the job done perfectly. Now that you all kind of know about the situation what do you think of the decision not to carry? Both me and my ex military coworker feel it is right, what about you guys and gals?

NATO funding, arming, & simultaneously fighting Al Qaeda from Mali to Syria.
(LD) - A deluge of articles have been quickly put into circulation defending France's military intervention in the African nation of Mali. TIME's article, "The Crisis in Mali: Will French Intervention Stop the Islamist Advance?" decides that old tricks are the best tricks, and elects the tiresome "War on Terror" narrative.
TIME claims the intervention seeks to stop "Islamist" terrorists from overrunning both Africa and all of Europe. Specifically, the article states:
"...there is a (probably well-founded) fear in France that a radical Islamist Mali threatens France most of all, since most of the Islamists are French speakers and many have relatives in France. (Intelligence sources in Paris have told TIME that they've identified aspiring jihadis leaving France for northern Mali to train and fight.) Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), one of the three groups that make up the Malian Islamist alliance and which provides much of the leadership, has also designated France — the representative of Western power in the region — as a prime target for attack."

The warehouse manager on a construction site is trying to figure out a rational way to control inventory and has asked for your help. There are a number of parts that have roughly the same characteristics relative to consumption and size (key when determining inventory control strategy) and flanges that are used to connect 12" bore piping has been selected as the prototype for your analysis. A job of similar size and scope to the one current underway has just been completed and the actual weekly consumption of these flanges is recorded below (each number is the consumption for a week just in rows and columns to save space):
216 156 224 199 219 225 188 275 220 174
267 181 176 225 198 222 151 161 231 209
198 236 206 181 236 280 215 208 195 184
183 227 146 196 161 211 263 198 214 123
226 187 190 240 204 263 179 136 202 208
Here is some additional data the warehouse manager has told you:
Each flange costs $15
The total cost to place an order is $125 regardless of size and that includes delivery to the warehouse. When an order is placed, it is delivered in two days so the lead time is 3 days.
This site uses runners who do nothing but make predetermined routes through the active part of the job site and back to the warehouse. They foremen tell the runners what they need and the runner brings it to them from the warehouse. Since running out of rather inexpensive parts like flanges when a runner needs them is bad, so assume that this can only occur, on average, less than 1 time out of 200.
The cost to hold one flange for one day is estimated to be $0.25 (assume two, 8 hour shifts; weeks are 5 days)
Right now, an assistant to the warehouse manager records the number of flanges checked out. The data is not completely accurate and it is estimated that the error can be +/- 10%.
The warehouse manager wants you to compare the following ideas from a performance viewpoint, some general idea of costs (e.g., to buy new equipment, extra labor or labor savings, etc.) and your opinion of costs vs. benefits when comparing the three.
1. The flanges already come with a bar code sticker on them so one idea is to install a bar code reader that is connected to the warehouse computer and a red flag appears when it is time to place an order. That is, the warehouse manager has accurate information available continuously so orders can be places at any time.
2. The bar code reader is installed as in part 1 but the red flag feature is disabled because orders are only placed every other Monday morning. As such, there is accurate information available but it is only used every 10 days. (The reason is that there are so many parts, the warehouse manager has decided to check half of them every Monday so each part type will only be monitored every other Monday.)
3. The once every other week monitoring strategy in problem 2 is adopted but the bar code reader is not installed so the count is manual (takes more time = more labor $) and the accuracy is +/- 10%.
The answer should address not only the correct inventory policy but an analysis of the total cost (inventory related, buying a bar code reader or readers (and type), labor, etc.).

Colette Turns A Parking Garage Into A Drive-Through Pop-Up Shop [Pics]
A delectable arrangement of art, fashion and culture in Miami Beach for an unforgettable night.
Known by many as the melting pot of international artists and creativity, Miami is welcoming Art Deco lovers to this year's Art Basel Week, which will house a diverse collection of artworks by both established and newly emerging artists. In celebration of the event, beloved Paris retailer Colette partnered with Alchemist to create a one-of-a-kind Art Drive Thru that will be selling merchandise found nowhere else.
Instead of ordering burgers and fries, shoppers will feast on an exclusive collection of products like Rolex timepieces, tokens of art, tech-gadgets and an abundant supply of fashion accessories. For the complete drive-thru experience, "carhops" – better known as girls on roller skates – will be bringing out all the orders. Colette made sure every detail lives up to the prestige of Miami Beach. Not only that, but many of the items are designed by popular artists who are godly established in art, fashion and culture.
The event is installed in the Carpark adjacent to Alchemist on Level 5 OF 1111 Lincoln Road, and will be open till December 8th. If you are in the area, this event is a must-see.

Syria: Six Years On
March 2017
Six years into the Syrian conflict, it might be the last chance for Western governments to positively shape Syria's post-conflict settlement.
The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply endorsement or acceptance by Chatham House.
Nearly six years since it began, the Syrian conflict rages on. With no political solution in sight, the fighting looks set to continue.
The conflict has morphed into multiple wars conducted by many actors: from government forces, their local and international allies Hezbollah, Iran and Russia, to a wide range of opposition forces, Kurdish forces and extremist groups such as ISIS.
It is unclear what kind of Syria will emerge from this destruction. Will the state remain united? Will it fragment? How will it be governed? Who will govern it? The outcome will have major implications for the Middle East as a whole.
The implications of the Syria conflict go far beyond Syria's borders. The conflict has exacerbated the problems of the neighbouring states.
The origins and power base of ISIS are in Iraq. ISIS capitalized upon the power vacuum in Syria to expand and establish its so-called 'caliphate'. ISIS controls large areas of Syria and Iraq.
Syrian Kurds have established a semi-autonomous region in Syria, a development not foreseen prior to the conflict. This has raised fears in Turkey that its territorial integrity is under threat.
Nearly 5 million people have fled Syria. The vast majority are in the neighbouring states. Nearly one in three in Lebanon is a refugee.
The presence of such large numbers has placed huge strain on public services such as housing and education. With the war ongoing, refugees are not likely to return soon. Many may never return.
These impacts will be felt for many years to come. Isolated and short-term policies cannot deal with these issues. Only long-term strategies can.

My son has asked me to sell his old Volvo for him. I know nothing about any auto much less a classic and I could use a little help. Is this car a PV445 or is it a 210 Duett? I thought I knew and so did my son, but it turns out neither of us agree on what it is. The year is also not clear. He said it's a 1959, I say 1958. Not that much difference and I base my opinion strictly on research I have done, he knows cars. Can anyone help me with the details and also if anyone knows where I could sell it and what it should be priced at, that would help greatly. I don't want to give it away and I don't want to price myself out of the market. The overall condition of the car is something I am not comfortable deciding. To me it is another rusty old car behind the shop. I do know that there are not very many of these around. He's had it since he was 15 and drove it quite a few years although not very far. It was running when it was parked about 11 years ago and all the parts and trim are there with the exception of the radio and possibly a turn signal. I have not figured out how to post the pictures but here is a link.

U.S.A. - In a year marked by turbulence in the bulk vending industry, even the normally sedate market segment of ball gum did not escape the hurly-burly. Among the significant developments in 2004 was the purchase of Concord Confections by confectionary giant Tootsie Roll Industries. And, too, for the first time in several years, bulk vending actually saw a decline in the number of ball gum venders out on the street. According to the VENDING TIMES Census of the Industry, the total number of machines dropped from a 2002 high of 910,000 to approximately 909,000 in 2003. And, while total dollar volume did increase from $104,650,000 to $106,353,000 during the same time period, the drop-off in equipment , no matter how small , was still a cause for concern for many, despite the fact that the cashbox per machine rose slightly from $115 in 2002 to $117 in 2003.
This reduction in equipment, said industry insiders, was primarily due to the continued growth in the capsuled and high-bounce ball segments of the marketplace. "Maybe, since we're dealing with older teenagers, gumballs and candy in general seem to be less and less of our sales," said Danny Paszkiewicz of Cardinal Distributing. "We've seen capsules and toys take the lead. Even among the smaller customers there's a tendency to buy more capsuled, rather than candy, items."
Increased competition in the field has also served to force gum from the vending forefront. With operators promising desirable accounts increasingly larger cashboxes, they find themselves having to deliver on those promises by constantly pursuing the blow-out items in capsules and flat vendibles. And gum, while more profitable per vend, still tends to vend at a slower rate. The sales may be steady, but they are generally less than the latest hot capsuled item.
However, according to Paszkiewicz, it is not all doom, gloom and burst bubbles on the gum side. As he readily pointed out, his company still stocks several thousand cases of ball gum of all different varieties, and maintains that gum is still the single most profitable item for many operators. "Of course gum is a profitable item, but manufacturers are also constantly coming out with new products. Sometimes it seems like there's too many; there must be 100 different flavors out there now," he observed. "And operators continue to pick the basics, instead of carrying a lot of different inventories."
According to several small operators interviewed, gum is also making something of a comeback with the recent resurgence of one- and two-head stands. A growing number of operators have taken to filling out their territories by adding single- and double-head racks to off-set increases in "road costs," such as fuel. Aiming for increased location density within certain areas, these operators have turned to good ol' reliable ball gum to get into new locations such as barber shops, hardware stores or comic book emporiums.
"These little locations aren't interested in a lot of equipment," said one operator. "You have to keep it simple: It's a gumball machine; it sells gum. Keep it simple and keep the machine clean and you'll have those locations forever. And they add up."
One operator who has seen his gum sales increase dramatically is Tyler Sumners of Service Vending (Aurora, MO). Those familiar with the Service Vending's operation know the firm's reputation for aggressive pricing. Among the first to move into 50� vends, the company is currently in the vanguard of 75� vends.
This pricing strategy, according to Sumners, has had the unexpected result of boosting his gum sales. "Right now, ball gum is the only 25� item we offer on a bulk rack, so we've seen a nice increase on ball gum sales," he explained. "There are still 1.1-in. capsuled toys on the bottom shelf, but those are 50�, so the price increases enhanced 25� sales to ball gum. If you walk up to a rack with 25�, the only offering we have is ball gum."
How much of an increase in sales did Service Vending reap with the switch to higher-priced capsuled merchandise? According to Sumners, it is in the neighborhood of 35%. "It's substantial and has remained that way," he said. "It wasn't the intent, but that's what happened. Seeing that increase motivated us to go forward. When we raised prices, the softer sales on toys maybe scared us a little bit, but when we saw that increase in gum, we were like, 'Hey this is nice.'"
Sumners has also followed up on gum sales, as the company pays close attention to product selection. With more flavors and "concepts" currently available than ever before, Sumners' firm has adopted a test marketing strategy similar to the one it employs with capsuled merchandise. "We've learned to test gum the same way we test toys," he explained. "We buy one pallet, put it out and test it to make sure it's a winner. Because, if you pick the wrong flavor and you only have one gum head on the rack, you shoot yourself in the foot."
Other operators have also adopted Sumner's strategy of test marketing gum. It is, they say, the logical choice. With fewer gum machines and more product choices, it benefits the operator to find the right flavor to fit a location.
Despite changes in the industry, it remains clear that ball gum isn't going anywhere, at least not in the near future. What is also equally clear is that operators are starting to pay more attention to this perennial favorite. Gum is no longer the "no brainer" of bulk vending. It remains that first "foot in the door" for new locations and a segment that can bolster a bottom line for operators who take the time and expend the effort.

My dear Randle, you've asked your blog visitors to cease and desist with their putrid, illiterate legal observations re: the (should be forgotten) slides imbroglio. But they persist.
I have given up on the slides and those who continue to propel the incident into insane recriminations, and yet I still get visitors at this blog, where nothing new or interesting has been posted in days.


text: 000 FXUS63 KMQT 270803 AFDMQT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 403 AM EDT Tue Jun 27 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 402 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2017 Fairly dry weather is expected over the next 24 hours with building ridge heights and sfc high pressure dominating. Building ridge heights should ensure mostly sunny skies and mainly dry conditions across most of Upper Mi today. However, will continue to include slight chc pops for isolated rain showers that may develop over the se and eastern U.P. during afternoon heating and convergence along lake breeze boundaries as some models continue to show MLCAPE values in the 200-300 j/kg range. The increased sunshine will help temperatures to rebound closer to normal for this time of year with most locations warming into the lower to mid 70s. High pressure will continue to dominate tonight keeping conditions dry. There will be an increase in mid-level clouds late tonight from the west ahead of the next approaching system from the Plains but the arrival of any pcpn should hold off until after 12z Wed. Expect min temps mainly in the lower to mid 50s, although a few upper 40s could be possible over the typical cold spots of central and eastern Iron County. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 340 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2017 An active pattern with multiple waves traversing the area will keep rain chances in the forecast through at least the weekend with temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees below normal. The best chance for widespread moderate to heavy rain will be Wednesday into Thursday, then precipitation chances will be periodic into early next week. Early next week, temperatures will gradually return to near normal. Widespread moderate to heavy rainfall is expected to develop on Wednesday and push east across Upper Michigan into Thursday morning as low pressure tracks across the area. Expect the rain showers to move into western portions of Upper Michigan during the late morning/early afternoon hours on Wednesday, and then gradually push east across the central and east into the afternoon and evening hours. With a warm, moisture rich air mass overhead, PWATs will increase to around 1.5+ inches, along with deepening of the warm cloud depth. These ingredients, coupled with increased lift along the warm front as it lifts across the area will allow for high rainfall rates. Right now, the highest rainfall totals are expected to be across the central and east, where 1-2`` of rain looks possible. There may be some isolated thunder embedded within the widespread rain, but the threat for any severe thunderstorms will remain well south of the area. Into early Thursday morning, as moisture transport lifts northeast into Ontario, the threat for heavy rain will wave, but with upper-level energy will still linger overhead, so cannot rule out scattered showers through the day on Thursday, but depending on the speed of the wave exiting the area and track of the surface low, things could dry out a bit sooner than currently reflected on Thursday. Thankfully, the band of moderate to heavy rain looks to remain fairly progressive as it moves across the area. However, given the antecedent wet conditions across the area, and rivers and their respective tributaries running high flooding may still be an issues in some locations, especially those that see the highest rainfall rates. Friday through the weekend, a number of upper-level waves are progged to move across the Great Lakes region bringing additional chances for showers and perhaps a few rumbles of thunder. With a leading shortwave lifting north out of the middle Mississippi Valley and up into the western Great Lakes Friday afternoon, expect showers to become a bit more widespread. Progressing into Saturday, a more potent upper-level wave will pivot across Upper Michigan and allow precipitation chances to linger through the day on Saturday and into Sunday. Right now, it certainly looks like the end of the weekend will be much drier than the beginning. Early next week, there may be a slight chance for rain showers as another shortwave digs south across the area, but behind this exiting wave it looks like we may start to dry out and warm up a bit. By Monday afternoon/evening, the GFS and ECMWF have increasing large-scale subsidence across the area with surface high pressure moving overhead. Also, with ridging progged to build across the Plains, this may allow the jet stream to shift a bit further north and the return of more seasonable weather. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 138 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2017 All TAF sites will be VFR through the period as dry air moves in. && .MARINE...(For the 4 AM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 402 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2017 Winds should remain blo 20 knots through Wed morning as sfc high pressure continues to dominate the area.

Harper to promote Canada business, but no investment rules yet
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Prime Minister Stephen Harper will promote Canada as open for business during a November 3-11 trip to Asia, although he is not likely to unveil long-awaited guidelines for foreign takeovers of Canadian firms, an aide said on Thursday.
"I don't think it's a problem at all to go around the world and say we're open for business, because we are," Harper's chief spokesman, Andrew MacDougall, told reporters ahead of the trip, which will take Harper to India, the Philippines and Hong Kong.
"Canada overwhelmingly supports foreign investment in Canada ... There's been a small handful of transactions that have been turned down under the Investment Canada Act."
The Investment Canada Act asks the industry minister to rule whether foreign takeovers over a certain size are of "net benefit" to Canada, a term that has never been fully defined.
The climate for foreign investment became even more opaque after an interim government decision last month to turn down a Malaysian bid for a Canadian company, and expected delays on whether Canada will approve a Chinese takeover attempt.
The Conservative government, which says Canada needs some $650 billion in investment over the next decade, has promised to release new guidelines on foreign investment at around the time it rules on the $15.1 billion bid by China's state-owned CNOOC Ltd to take over oil producer Nexen Inc, and Harper has said decisions would be made "fairly shortly."
Asked if the guidelines would be unveiled during the trip to Asia, MacDougall said: "I don't expect we'll be covering much on the foreign investment front."
The CNOOC bid has become increasingly controversial in Canada amid heated debate over whether foreign state-owned enterprises should be allowed to buy Canadian companies. Continued...

The reason why Catfish are getting a bum rap:
I grew up eating catfish & bullheads freshly caught out of the Mississippi River between Wisconsin & Illinois on the east and Iowa on the west. Many folks don't care for the taste of Catfish & Bullheads because they both have a much more "fishy" flavor than other fish such as Cod, Pollock, Haddock, etc. Mississippi River Catfish seem to have an especially "fishy" flavor, more so than Catfish caught in the 7 lakes in Cherokee Village, Arkansas for example.
There is a way to prepare Catfish & Bullheads to eliminate the "fishy" taste but leaving behind a delicious taste of the fish ... a cornmeal batter that my husband learned how to cook from his leading chef during the years that my husband used to own a restaurant. This batter can be used when frying or baking or broiling or deep fat frying or grilling, when making Catfish Balls, and much more.
The batter is a little yellow or white cornmeal or a mixture of yellow & white cornmeal, a little milk, an egg or two, a little tiny dab of creamy horseradish sauce to give it a little zing (the heat cooks out, the flavor remains), a little freshly ground kosher or sea salt & a little freshly ground black pepper. A little Cayenne Pepper can be added to give the batter a Cajun touch if desired.
This batter works well on any seafood item, not just on Catfish or Bullheads ... lobster, scallops, oysters, clams, shrimp, crawfish, any variety of fish, etc. and it's 100 times better tasting that the batter used by Long John Silver's restaurant.


text: Arranged marriages, sex in boxes and fried chicken: 9 of the wackiest Channel 4 formats Married at First Sight is at the end of a long list of groundbreaking shows Channel 4 has transmitted into our living rooms Comments Written By Ellie Walker-Arnott 2:39 PM, 08 May 2014 Channel 4 are embarking on a social experiment to see if love really can come after marriage. Their new "groundbreaking" concept will see three couples, who have been matched using a series of scientific and social criteria, walk down the aisle. And then get to know each other. That's right, the broadcaster is arranging three marriages between people who have never met before to see if the act of marriage will help create a bond leading to true love. After six weeks of married life, the couples will decide if they want to stay together as husband and wife. Sounds strange, right? Well, it's not the first time Channel 4 has embraced a wacky format. Here are a few of the most weird and wonderful... First Dates Married at First Sight isn't the first time Channel 4 has delved into the land of love. Far from it. First Dates, which returned for a second series this year, sees singles embark on blind dates while being filmed. The prospective partners share a meal (and loads of awkward pauses) before speaking to camera to decide if they want to see their match for a second date. As if first dates weren't hard enough... Live From Space Earlier this year Channel 4 went where no TV broadcaster had gone before. That's right, into SPACE. C4 aired a season of shows presented by Dermot O'Leary, live from Earth and the International Space Station. One of the episodes even let viewers watch a live 90-minute orbit of the planet. Now if that's not mind blowing, we don't know what is. The Jump Novice celebrities taking part in snow sports, sometimes live on telly. "Surely this is a recipe for disaster or at least hugely dangerous for the show's eager contestants," we cried. And our fears were founded. Two celebs dropped out before the show even started and of the 12 stars who were there at the start of the live shows, four withdrew after suffering injuries. The eventual winner was backup contestant Joe McElderry, who was drafted in half way through to replace injured Henry Conway. All in the name of entertaining the nation, eh? Gogglebox Who knew watching people watching TV could be so entertaining? We weren't convinced when Channel 4 first announced plans to plant cameras in the nation's living rooms, but what sounded like an ob-doc too far turned out to be one of the nation's favourite formats. In fact, people love it so much it's even been nominated for the Radio Times Audience Award at this year's Bafta ceremony. Sex Box You can't accuse Channel 4 of being afraid of controversy... Last year's Sex Box saw real-life couples go into an opaque (and luckily soundproof) box and have sex on TV before popping their clothes back on and heading out in front of a live studio audience to discuss the experience with a panel of experts. The idea of the show was to have an open and grown up discussion about sex, though even the experts couldn't help having a bit of a giggle. One Born Every Minute From sex to childbirth – and another of Channel 4's runaway successes. Now on its fifth series, One Born Every Minute sets up cameras in maternity hospitals to record the miracle of birth – blood, sweat, tears and all. The format doesn't shy away from anything, be it labouring mothers, worried dads or midwives having a natter over a cup of tea. And the show is surprisingly affecting. We challenge you to sit through the hour without your bottom lip wobbling. Big Brother It might be on Channel 5 now, but Big Brother first opened its unblinking eye on Channel 4 in 2000. As the years have passed the contestants themselves have got weirder and wackier, but back then the "social experiment" itself was enough to grab people's attention. Loosely inspired by George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Channel 4 sent ten contestants into a custom built house for 64 days and let them battle it out to avoid eviction. Fried Chicken Shop It doesn't seem like the most obvious of filming locations, but Channel 4 decided the place to get a real insight into the life of Brits was to capture them hanging out in a bustling South London chicken shop. And how right they were. The unlikely hit shines a surprisingly entertaining light on the greasy goings on, from the staff who serve up the chicken to the customers who come in to buy it. Embarrassing Bodies Now if you want putting off your dinner, this is the Channel 4 show for you. Embarrassing Bodies lets people who suffer from an ailment so embarrassing that they don't want to go to the doctors go on telly and show it to the nation instead. (The show also raises awareness about conditions and aims to help viewers self-diagnose at home.) For some unknown reason you lot have been tuning into the Bafta-winning medical show for six whole series, as well as a number of spin off specials. Please, just go to the doctor's, people. Sorry, you're not getting a clip for this one. Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

Teachers, Authors, Speakers, Writers And Experts!
Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
You might remember a month or so back I posted about some websites I had for sale. One of the sites was my other blog, Small Business Branding.
I am pleased to announce that Vera Raposo has taken over Small Business Branding and will endeavor to continue to grow the site from where I left off.
I'd like to thank Rob Kingston and the great team of writers who kept Small Business Branding going and will continue to write for the site and no doubt take it to new heights. I wish Vera best of luck with the blog.
Vera has posted a brief introduction and I encourage you to say hello and welcome her.
With the change of ownership some new sponsorship opportunities have arisen at Small Business Branding, so if you would like to reach the small business marketplace, visit the advertise page for details.
As long term readers of my blog might recall, back in December 2005 I purchased Small Business Branding from Michael Pollock, who created the site and sold it to me to go build his now very successful blog theme design business, SoloStream.
That sale was one of the first publicly announced blog deals between two well known bloggers and it generated quite a bit of buzz at the time. Micheal and I recorded a two part podcast about the deal, which is still interesting listening if you like the topic of buying and selling websites.
After taking over the blog I quickly came to realize that I could not write to two very similar blogs by myself and began a unique experiment into outsourcing blog content creation. Small Business Branding become a magazine style publication with a roster of authors. In February 2007 I published an article – How To Outsource Your Blogging – A Case Study – that detailed how to replicate my system for blog content outsourcing.
When I purchased Small Business Branding it was a well known blog with good search engine rankings for some popular small business terms and about 400 daily RSS readers. Michael hadn't focused on monetization so the site was only making about $100 to $200 a month, mostly from AdSense.
Just over two years later, when I sold the site to Vera, it had grown to 2500 daily RSS readers and around $1500 a month in revenue. The income growth came mainly by increasing the monetization techniques applied, with a big chunk coming from adding banners and text links and selling the ad inventory directly to sponsors for a monthly fee. This was obviously helped along by the steady traffic growth thanks to the team of content producers.
I'm not at liberty to disclose how much I sold the site for, but I was happy with the return I made and compared to what I paid for it, I did very well. However you have to take into account how different the after-market for blogs is today compared to what it was when I bought the site.
Michael and I were pioneers in the industry of blog flipping, which today is a much more mature market, with hundreds of deals made every week. People pay more for blogs now because there are more interested buyers and thus competition raises prices. It's seen as a good investment to buy a blog, with hundreds of case studies demonstrating this. In 2005 the idea of blogging for money was just gaining traction and wasn't widespread.
As an acquisition and flip go, this deal was very good and my return was well over ten fold. This doesn't include the income generated while owning the site and I have no doubt as long as Vera continues to grow the blog her earnings will surpass mine. Blogs can be great cash cows and capital investments, if you look after them.
I still have a collection of two forums and a video site focused on the niche of mini bikes for sale, which generate about $1200 a month in almost passive income (you just have to invoice advertisers). I've got a PDF document that breaks down the details, so if you are interested, please email yaroATblogmastermind.com and I will send you the info.
Please note I'm looking for around 20 times revenue for these sites (as a group), so do not approach if you cannot entertain this price range.
In case you are wondering why I am selling these sites it is because I am divesting my self of assets not aligned with my core business focus, which is my blog training programs and information products. While these sites are great income sources, they do require mindshare to look after and grow and I intend to use my mind to focus on my main business interest.
Yaro, I wonder if you have used Ed Dale's 'domoniche' program for any of this? It seems like your venture with Small Business Branding is a result of the kind of stuff that Ed teaches – buy a site that has the groundwork laid down for it, then grow that site, maximise the monetization and then flip it for many times the monthly income. Did you do all this stuff yourself or did you have some help with it?
I also find it interesting how you are narrowing your focus of business assets towards one major theme. At the moment I find that I am trying to create assets all over the place and my ideas for them are currently spread around 3-4 different niches. It makes me wonder if in a couple of years (assuming I build successful assets), if I'll be selling them off…
Hi Yaro,
Flipping a site like forums or of other modules that emphasize on user-generated contents such as forums, Digg-like sites and wikis can be much easier compared to a blog which required comstant updates.
When you bought over Small Business Branding, are the writers already writing and they remain in place until now?
How long in average do you think that a site is ready to be sold after being bought as part of the flipping process?
I saw Vera's post and shall be following SBB. I guess you are at the point where you are past experimenting and now know what it is you want to do. Dedicating yourself to that is a natural step.
Caroline – No I haven't followed Ed's system, but you are right, I did basically do what he teaches, but that wasn't my focus. It was two years ago when I bought SBB, I didn't even know who Ed Dale was back then.
I still think Ed's system is one of the best for making money online, especially if you have some money to invest.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the future you find yourself narrowing your focus too.
People go through stages – first you just need money so you chase different ideas to see what works. Once something works, you tend to focus energy there. If you build a team around you or work 12 hour days you can keep following multiple opportunities, but in my case I like the clarity of one purpose (and fewer working hours), so I'm simplifying – which is the smartest path you want to eventually take, given what I've studied about business systems.
When you bought over Small Business Branding, are the writers already writing and they remain in place until now?
Read the case study I wrote Wayne – it's linked above – it explains how I found the writers and set up SBB. The writers are all working with Vera now.
How long in average do you think that a site is ready to be sold after being bought as part of the flipping process?
Whenever you are happy with the numbers it's putting out and you are at a point where you want to move on.
There is no right answer to that question that fits every situation. I sell my sites because I want to move on, not because I think it's the most profitable time to do so.
Thanks Yaro,
I have only started blogging and this aspect of selling it had never entered my mind. thanks for the food for thought on future options.
Hey Yaro, Thanks for posting. I remember when I first read you were wanting to sell the blog, it just made sense to me since I've been involved in a small business for the last 12 years and have alot to share from my experience. I'm sure it will be a very profitable and fun venture. 🙂
What you've pioneered is the answer of my years spent on the net – has anyone sell a blog successfully? I heard people flipping blogs for hundreds of dollars, but not way over tenfold of your purchase price – that is plain brilliant! I see it as a breakthrough, as you mention it in your podcast – quite a buzz on the Net. Now, not only you can monetize your blog, but you also can buy/sell a blog.
I just curious, what legalities to cover for blog flipping? Is it just the same as selling other online business?
I just curious, what legalities to cover for blog flipping? Is it just the same as selling other online business?
Pretty much and you can take it as far as you like. In my case I use a contract for each sale.
[…] and I sold Small Business Branding to Yaro Starak in December 2005. Yaro continued to build SBB and sold it in March 2008 to its current owner, Vera […]
Shucks, didn't realize until I read this post that you had sold that site. Really nice M8. Congrats, even though I am very late.

Nepali parks marked by missing visitors
KATMANDU, Nepal – After two months of trekking through Nepal's wintry valleys and hills, a young American hiked alone along a path before ending her journey.
But as she stopped to rest near two stupas, or Buddhist temples, in Langtang National Park two days before Christmas, Lena Sessions, 23, spotted a local man wearing a black dust mask.
"Either I (sexually assault) you or I kill you," she said the man told her. He then came at her with a curved 1½-foot knife, or the traditional khukuri used by local tribes.
Sessions escaped and made her way to the U.S. Embassy in Katmandu, where she learned she was not the first to encounter problems on that trail while hiking alone.
The U.S. Embassy has issued a warning against hiking alone in Nepal, stating that two American women were attacked and seriously injured in 2010 while hiking alone on popular trails.
"Foreigners have also gone missing while trekking alone," the State Department website states — as has an American.
Sessions' attack and several other cases are helping to focus more attention on a young Colorado woman missing for almost two years.
Aubrey Sacco, 23, disappeared while hiking in the area in April 2010. A poster of the Greeley, Colo., woman hangs in front of the U.S. Embassy in Katmandu. The poster asks those who might have seen her to send a note to her parents. Sacco had also been trekking alone in Langtang National Park.
• In September 2005, a French woman, Celine Henry, disappeared in Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park, also near Katmandu.
• Six weeks later, a German woman, Sabine Grüneklee, disappeared in the same area. Her body was found in 2006.
• In 2006, a German woman, Kristina Kovacevic, also disappeared in northern Nepal while trekking alone. Her body was found in a ravine. Nepali police said she fell, but her family says she was robbed, and they suspect she was killed.
Stories of other missing tourists have trickled in since Aubrey Sacco disappeared — as have theories about a potential serial killer.
Grüneklee's body was found in 2006, and a second body, possibly Henry's, was found nine months after Grüneklee's. Both were badly decomposed.
In response, the British Foreign Office posted this on its website: "There has been a recent rise in incidents of female tourists being attacked, including cases of rape, by bands of criminals."
The U.S. State Department warned travelers that Nepali police have reported more sexual assaults involving foreigners.
The State Department did not respond to a request for more information. Denver FBI officials confirmed that officers had sat down with Aubrey Sacco's family. But federal officials said they could not confirm any involvement in either Sacco or Session's cases while — or if — they are under investigation.
See some connections
Aubrey Sacco's parents were notified by the U.S. Embassy in Nepal about the new attack on Sessions.
"(The cases) absolutely could be connected," Connie Sacco said.
Connie Sacco said she and her husband have conducted much of the search for their daughter on their own. Otherwise, they would have to rely strictly on the regional police — U.S. authorities are careful not to get involved in the police efforts of other countries.
"We don't know that she's been murdered," Connie Sacco said. "We don't feel that she has. But we're on our own — there's no evidence."
In May 2010, Paul Sacco traveled to the guest house where Aubrey Sacco was last seen. There he found her laptop, guitar and extra credit card.
The Saccos contacted Congress members and the FBI.
Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., has trekked through Nepal himself, and it's a popular destination for his constituents in the outdoors-centered town of Boulder, where Aubrey Sacco went to college.
"We've been in frequent contact with Aubrey's family, (and) reached out to seek help from the State Department and the FBI numerous times on the Saccos' behalf," said Udall spokeswoman Jennifer Talhelm. "Mark shares their deep frustration and their concern about the latest incident."
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., have also helped with writing letters and contacting the embassy in Katmandu to try to keep the search alive, Connie Sacco said.
But it's been difficult. The government has changed — completely — in Nepal since Aubrey Sacco disappeared.
Often, Connie Sacco said, the information they give to the police is not written down; it's kept by memory. And even the witnesses' stories have changed from, "Yes, I saw her before she disappeared," to, "Who knows? We see a lot of trekkers."
'Didn't sense any danger'
Sessions has not been contacted by anyone since filing a police report in Nepal, she said.
After the attack, she learned from a guesthouse owner that Aubrey Sacco had been missing.
She trekked with three others back to Katmandu, where she went to the U.S. Embassy.
A diplomat helped her file her report with the local police, who appeared to take her story seriously, Sessions said.
But the State Department did not issue any travel warnings, and, in fact, the embassy canceled a travel warning Dec. 7 because strikes and fighting in the region had stabilized.
Sessions had been in an open area — and felt exposed to anyone watching for miles.
"I didn't sense any danger," said the Eugene, Ore., woman, who had been hiking through Nepal for about two months.
But danger was there. She considers herself lucky to have fought off her attacker.
"My hope is that, out of this, the national park will make an effort to be realistic about the situation in the park," Sessions said. "I might have made some different decisions had I known."

I had previously sought alternative, innovative search engines, but none of the proposed options made me particularly happy. About a year ago, I came across DuckDuckGo, and today, I've been using DDG as my primary search provider for exactly 10 months.
The reasons why I switched included
my dislike of the Google information monopoly and the potential that a single, corporate entity with financial interests, gets to censor the information I see. I am sceptical of their "Do-no-evil" promise because there's nothing binding about it, and if it gets in the way of money-making, I am sure it'll be discarded at a whim — if it even still exists.
the awareness that my usage augments their database (although I am probably too far away from mainstream to provide useful data), which translates into more funds available to them to further strengthen their market position.
my belief that the days of index-based searches are over, given how 95% (or more) of user-generated content is bogus. Google undoubtedly optimises the results with obscure, secret algorithms, but that's just not enough for me.
Of course the name — DuckDuckGo — was perhaps the strongest reason to switch. :)
I am aware that DuckDuckGo is index-based itself, using the Yahoo API, which, in turns means that DuckDuckGo may already be using Bing data. Sounds a bit like out of the frying pan into the fire, unfortunately.
I am still investigating better search solutions, sticking with DuckDuckGo meanwhile.
Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo doesn't quite cut the mustard at all times, forcing me to go to Google instead. For this reason I am glad to find that the CustomizeGoogle Firefox extension has not been discontinued, but simply renamed to OptimizeGoogle.
This extension allows me to anonymise my identity towards Google, remove click tracking (which Google doesn't want you to know about and hence hide with JavaScript), hide ads, and customise a slew of other aspects of the giant's search engine. It alleviates some of the aforementioned concerns, but not all.
Maybe it's time to rethink the way I use the web and lower my search needs.
If you are using Firefox, try it out! If you're still using Internet Exploder, you should not, and instead upgrade to Firefox. Users of other browsers might find similar functionality for their application, or might want to switch as well.

Mine is very good, about 70 when cold and over 35 at idle at operating temperature, the problem pop out when engine turns close to 5000 rpm, the gauge pointer has a superfast vibration from around 5 to 35 PSI.
Looking for the cause on the web i've seen that some oil pump has problem over 5000rpm or so, any experience with them?
i'll tear down oil pan to check pick up height first (honestly i want to see bearings too) then braze the pick up or make a bracket for it.
It's not a for sure thing to say when the engine is running with no load on it. Engines make some pretty strange vibrations on the crank and when these are not damped by a damper on the front of the crank and either a flywheel/clutch assembly or torque converter on the other, these shakes can be transmitted into the cam via the timing set. These could excite the distributor gear to shake about in its clearance which would transfer the shake to the oil pump. But frankly I'd be surprised that the average oil pressure gauge would have time to respond.
I'd expect that this is either the bypass valve chattering or the pump gears doing the same, or the inlet pipe is shaking and drawing air on and off. This also could be too much or too little clearance of the pick-up to the bottom of the pan.
Chevy pump gear chatter is a common problem often fixed by milling a groove in the cover plate from the discharge side to the opposite side of the gear. The cause of this is the 7 tooth gear of the pump is just too close to a harmonic of the engine's firing order; plus the bypass returns to the inlet side of the pump so the pumps operating frequency which is imprinted on the oil outflow is fed back in to the inlet when the pressure bypass is operating. This can really shake the daylights out of the gears.
The Chevy inlet being pressed into the pump cover leaves a lot to be desired, I don't like friction fits, I've never seen them last. If this is leaking air the pump input will become unstable a condition that will worsen with RPM. The usual solutions are to braze the inlet to the cover, another thing I love is getting cast iron that hot, and using a brace to carry the structural loads of the pick up off the connection point.
Other things about the pickup is that it needs to have the anti-vortex cover with screen at the intake side. The needs to be from 3/16ths to 3/8ths inch off the bottom of the pan or 4.8 to 9.5 mm.

I carry my Kimber full size 1911 in a Galco Summer Comfort IWB holster most of the time when the weather is such that I can comfortably wear a cover garment. Sometime, if I know I'll be sitting for a long time or going on a long drive, I'll switch to a Galco Miami Classic II shouldr rig. I also have a Galco Avenger OWB holster that I use if going to the range or taking a class. In the summer, when it is very hot and I'm wearing cargo shorts and a tanktop or T-shirt, I'll switch my carry gun to my S&W 642 in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. But if weather permits a cover garment, the 1911 is my carry gun of choice.

I used to change out to my USPc or my RAMI in the fall/winter, but since I work from home full time now, I just stick to my Colt Cobra. If I go out, I sometimes add my Colt Mustang or NAA Mini Mag in pocket carry (vest).

I carry a Kahr P9 IWB at about two o'clock (right handed). I have tried many different holsters and none of them are both comfortable and conceal well. I live in the mid west and the unholstered IWB conceals well all year around. I also carry one extra magazine holstered at ten o'clock hooked on my belt.
I carry a full size 1911 now and a ruger sp101 2.25", both go in the belly band but I found that the band collects alot of sweat. Im looking to move to a nexxus or cross breed super tuck for both guns. When i wear cargo pants i put my snubby in, my big pockets. Other than that the belly band has work the same and carried both guns at 3:00 on my ribs.

I have 2 guns are my everyday carry guns. A Kahr CW45 and a CZ P-01. Both are carried IWB at the 3:30-4:00 position. On rare occasions I will carry the P-01 OWB at the same position.

I have a Glock 19 and a Kahr P380. The Kahr has been getting the most attention due to the ease of concealing it. Right now, it's in my right rear pocket in an Uncle George's wallet holster. I also have front pocket and IWB holsters for it (DeSantis Nemesis, Remora, and Comp-Tac Infidel). The Glock is strictly IWB at 3:30 in a Comp-Tac Infidel.
Just got a Sprifield xd 9sc, and xdm 9c I have a Old Faithful for the SC so I am carrying that at 330/400 postion. before these arrived it was a taurus pt709 in a fox holter or deep concealment at 1130.

PARIS – Sometimes too much love can be a bad thing, as Paris discovered on Sunday when thousands of so-called locks of love attached to a footbridge caused part of the railing to collapse, forcing an evacuation.
Thousands of lovers from across the world visit the Pont des Arts every year and seal their love by attaching a padlock carrying their names to its railing and throwing the key in the Seine River beneath.
But police were forced to usher visitors off the footbridge in central Paris early Sunday evening after 2.4 meters of railing collapsed under the groaning weight of the collected tokens of affection.
"The bridge was immediately evacuated and closed," local police said.
An architect and local officials rushed to the site, barricading the bridge. Police said it would re-open by Monday.
The Pont des Arts crosses the Seine just in front of the Louvre museum and is known the world over for its locks of love.
The phenomenon has become something of a headache for officials in the City of Light, who would prefer something that poses fewer security and esthetic problems for the capital.
Two young Americans living in Paris have gathered thousands of signatures for a petition they launched in March calling for the locks to be removed, saying they are eyesores and cause damage to the bridges.
The locks appeared on the Pont des Arts in 2008, having already become a craze in Germany, Russia, China and particularly Italy.
Today, the full 150-meter length of the footbridge is covered in the padlocks, and the practice has spread to other bridges around the capital.
Forty locks were also recently removed from the Eiffel Tower.

Internal Medicine Residency
Internal Medicine Residency Program
6565 North Charles Street
Suite 203
Towson, MD 21204
For more information on our residency program, please contact our Program Administrator: email@example.com
Our Philosophy: Patient-Centered, Team-Driven Problem Solving. Individualized Education.
At Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), medical residents have the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in a friendly, supportive and collegial atmosphere at a community hospital with an academic feel. GBMC's fully accredited Internal Medicine Residency Program emphasizes a team-driven, patient-oriented approach to medical problem solving with the organization's vision in mind: "To every patient, every time, we will provide the care we would want for our own loved ones." While promoting teamwork, the program also stresses the importance of individualized education, connecting each resident with an advisor who pays meticulous attention to that resident's individual goals and needs. Click here to read more about our program philosophy.
A Community Hospital with Academic Affiliations
GBMC is located in a rich environment of world-class academic institutions. Its close proximity to several of the nation's most renowned academic healthcare systems allows residents to experience an intimate community setting while gaining competitive skills usually only acquired in a larger institution. Our formal affiliation is with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Our PGY2 residents all rotate through neurology at Johns Hopkins and Cardiology Consults at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, and many others do research and clinical electives with faculty there. Additionally, Johns Hopkins medical students frequently rotate on our medical teams.
A Supportive Faculty and Connection to Fellowships
Our core faculty members, from various distinguished backgrounds, are unified by their commitment to teaching and their devotion to the residency program. All faculty members have open door policies, work closely with the residents and directly observe their clinical skills in order to provide useful feedback to help them grow as physicians. Promoting a strong learning experience, faculty members are also dedicated to preparing residents for highly competitive fellowship opportunities. Click here to learn more about our faculty.
Advanced Medical Technology, Electronic Health Record Systems
GBMC is on the leading edge of the utilization of healthcare information technology, from electronic health records (EHR) and patient portals to computerized provider order entry (CPOE). These advancements have enhanced patient safety as well as outcomes, allowing physicians and care providers to better track and coordinate each patient's care.
In 2016, GBMC is proud to join the EPIC family of EMRs. Medical students with experience using EPIC are particularly encouraged to apply.
Excellence in Primary Care
GBMC has fully embraced the concept of the patient-centered medical home. All of its practices, including the Internal Medicine Residency practice (referred to internally as "the clinic"), have been recognized as level 3 Physician Practice Connections-Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PPC-PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). This means residents practice with full support from not only their attending physicians, but also a care manager, care coordinator and nurse practitioner, allowing residents to deliver a degree of care that many others cannot.
The clinic's innovative design maximizes residents' relationship with patients while also protecting them in their inpatient duties. The Internal Medicine Residency program combines quarterly block clinics with weekly or biweekly appointments, which are filled only if a patient needs to see his or her resident. Residents only come to clinic when needed, but patients feel their physician is always accessible.
Although designated a primary care program, the leaders of the Internal Medicine Residency program believe the primary care approach trains residents in the longitudinal management skills that are critical in all specialties. For a select group of residents interested in a long-term relationship with GBMC, a special track is being created that integrates central clinic experience with an additional continuity site embedded with one of GBMC's other successful primary care practices.
A clean, modern facility in a safe, urban setting.
GBMC is a 281-bed medical center (acute and sub-acute care) located on a beautiful suburban campus and handles more than 26,700 inpatient cases and approximately 60,000 emergency room visits annually. Since its founding in Towson in 1965, GBMC's accomplishments have validated the vision of its founders to combine the best of community and university-level medicine. GBMC's main campus also includes three medical office buildings: Physicians Pavilion East, Physicians Pavilion West and Physicians Pavilion North I. In addition to its main campus located in Towson, several GBMC primary care offices are located throughout the Baltimore County community.
GBMC is particularly proud of its transparency regarding safety and quality. Please see some of our patient and quality measures by clicking here.Click here to view a virtual tour of GBMC's beautiful campus and facilities.
