EdgeWater sails into a new segmentPosted on Written by Jim Flannery
Tough times can make for some strange bedfellows, but Peter Truslow says it's really not that strange that EdgeWater Power Boats is building a high-performance racing/cruising sailboat.
Call it technology transfer. Or diversification. Or exploring new markets. Or keeping his Edgewater, Fla., plant humming in the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Or looking beyond today's troubles to a brave new world. Call it all of these things, says Truslow, EdgeWater president. It makes sense on a lot of levels.
EdgeWater, builder of high-end family/fishing center consoles and express-style powerboats, is building the 35-foot IRC racer/cruiser for Summit Yachts. Summit is a partnership between Barry Carroll, whose Carroll Marine Ltd. used to build grand prix racing sailboats, and George Carabetta, an entrepreneur and world-class sailor.
Starting in 2010, EdgeWater also will build a 40- footer that Summit now builds in Argentina as the King 40. Both yachts are from the drawing board of Irishman Mark Mills, whose Mills Design Ltd. is a leading designer of performance sailboats. Meanwhile, EdgeWater will continue to build the 14- to 38-foot powerboats for which it is known.
EdgeWater began looking to diversify long before the economy soured. "We were diversifying even before Summit," says Truslow, the company having decided to look into new markets after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, when it appeared as if the terrorist threat might put a permanent dent in recreational boat sales. Fortunately, that didn't happen, but EdgeWater shopped its boats around to other markets anyway and found buyers in marine law enforcement and coastal patrol.
"We do a lot of work now for local, state, city and county governments," he says.
The National Park Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have added EdgeWaters to their fleets, and Truslow has built a dozen 31- and 38-foot coastal patrol boats for Trinidad and Tobago, which used them to protect dignitaries at last April's Summit of the Americas.
Semicustom approach
Truslow says EdgeWater's commercial models are a logical extension of its emphasis on semicustom work. The builder offers semicustom versions of its production models – specially equipped dive boats, yacht tenders and recreational fishing boats – on a "onesy-twosy" basis. "We saw these as opportunities 10 years ago," says Truslow.
However, the Summit deal – building a sailboat for an outside company to exacting specifications and developing the production processes to meet those specifications – takes diversification to a new level. Truslow credits EdgeWater's advanced building techniques with helping win the Summit contract.
The company's semicustom approach to building allows it to cross over from production to semicustom manufacturing runs. It also is experienced in composites – Nida-Core, Airex and Divinycell core, and Penske Xtreme board – and uses a closed-mold, vacuum-assisted process (Single Piece Infusion, or SPI) to infuse vinylester resin into the grid structures and hull laminate in one step. This enables EdgeWater to build hulls that are strong yet light, giving it the versatility to cross over from recreational to commercial and from high-performance powerboat to high-performance sailboat.
Truslow says versatility may be the future for a company like his. "Our powerboat product business is pretty resilient," he says. "I think it's going to come back, but it's not going to come back like it was in the old days. You're going to need to look at other options, too," both in boatbuilding and other industries.
Strong, lightweight fiberglass and carbon fiber composite construction are in demand in the aerospace and wind power generation industries. Truslow also has looked at them as opportunities. "I don't know where it will lead," he says.
But for now, building sailboats is helping him get through the recession. Truslow says his powerboat business is off about 50 percent from 2006-07, and his work force is down from 100 to about 60, which is better than many companies are doing. "We're actually kind of proud of that," he says.
Retooling part of his work force and production operation to build sailboats hasn't been a slam dunk. Strong and light for racing, Summit hulls are PVC foam-cored with a thin fiberglass skin and a separate glued-in fiberglass cabin liner. Truslow says EdgeWater's construction experience in closed-molded laminates was critical, but building the Summit has not involved a straightforward transference of its SPI technology and manufacturing processes. Veteran builder Carroll came to the EdgeWater plant and helped its sailboat team develop new processes, walked them through their first build, and continues to help them tweak their work.
"The guys at EdgeWater did a really outstanding job on the prototype," Carroll says. "Every follow-on boat is incrementally better. We're extremely pleased."
Designer Mills' 40-footer, introduced in 2008 in Europe, has been a winner in its IRC class here and abroad, and the Summit 35 was named best new sailboat at the Newport (R.I.) International Boat Show in September. Summit sold five 35s at Newport, a pleasant surprise. "In this market, I would have said it can't happen," says Carroll. But sailboat racers are hard-core, and this boat has created a buzz.
Sail benefits power
Carroll's ties to EdgeWater predate the Summit deal. Carroll has been on EdgeWater's board of directors for five years. North Marine Group – which owns EdgeWater as well as Southern Spars, North Sails Direct, North Sail Outlet and other companies – asked Carroll to join EdgeWater's board to help advance its laminate technology and gain an edge in an industry that is being asked to build stronger, safer hulls while saving weight and improving fuel efficiency. The result was the SPI process, adopted four years ago. EdgeWater now uses SPI to build all of its powerboats 22 feet and up.
"Where North ties in to this is that North is a high-tech company," says Truslow. It uses three-dimensional computer modeling to develop sails and the latest fabrics for sailcloth. Its spar maker is a leader in carbon-fiber rigging. "They have been very supportive of our efforts to move up the technology scale," he says.
Carroll says he had no idea he might one day build a sailboat at EdgeWater, but when it came time to look for a builder he asked if EdgeWater was interested. He knew they could do the job and meet his exacting weight-to-strength specifications.
"There was a lot of in-the-shop pride in telling an old sailboat guy how to do it," says Carroll. "I'd ask for eight pounds [in weight-savings], and they'd give me nine. That's good. The quality of the guys that Peter gave us to work with was just great. … It was a lot of fun."
Truslow says the sailboat project has yielded unexpected dividends for the powerboat end of his business. "We figured out a way to make the laminates stronger and lighter [for Summit] and applied it right off to our boats," he says. His designers also are applying it to a Navy project they're working on to develop a lighter coastal patrol boat. "It's funny how it all ties together," he says.
Carroll says EdgeWater's workers also have learned something about their capabilities from this project. He says its production manager had never stepped aboard a sailboat in the water until he went to the Newport show and boarded the Summit his shop had just finished. "It shows everyone in the organization that they can do more than their powerboat knowledge tells them they can do," Carroll says. "They are builders, not just center-console builders." Knowing that is invaluable.
A business "has to be flexible and always looking for opportunities," he says.
It may not always be building powerboats.

Installation of ignition switch in 1993 E36 sedan
I had an issue with the car not starting but power remaining on. After replacing the original ignition switch I can now start the switch with a screw driver and car functions fine.
However, I am having a difficult time mating the ignitin switch with the tumbler in the column. Unfortunately a mechanic who worked in the area before broke off one of the rabbit ears that holds one of the grub screws which holds the switch in. When I dismantled the original switch, it was held in by one grub screw and two twist ties.
Is there a particular tool to use or position of the male portion of the tumbler (if that's the right term) to get the ignition switch to mate with the tumbler/ignition assembly? I'm lining up the appropriate "male and female" portions of the respective parts but can't get them to mate so-to speak. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Reducing carbon emissions
Climate change affects us all.
The scientific evidence from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is clear. Most of the observed rise in average global temperatures over the last 50 or 60 years is due to human activity through increasing greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning fossil fuels (and methane). If we are to prevent the process of climate change continuing and becoming more damaging, we will need to find ways of reducing our CO2 emissions.
We recognise that measured and forecast changes in our climate pose important questions for the way we carry out our work as a council, for how residents within the district live and work in the future and for the environment of Tandridge we all share. We will seek to make Tandridge District Council into a climate-resilient and lower carbon authority.
The detailed effects of climate change, globally, nationally and locally, are uncertain and continue to be the subject of on-going study. But informed projections indicate that Tandridge is likely to become warmer all year round, with most of the warming in the summer and autumn. Winters will become wetter and summers drier and there may be more sudden and extreme weather events, such as droughts, heatwaves, wind storms and floods arising from torrential rain.
It is predicted that by 2080, without preventive adaptation, there will be water shortages every summer and damage from flooding almost every winter. A hotter climate will affect agriculture and plant life and expose both people and the natural environment to risk of harm from storms, pests and temperature-related illnesses.
We know some climate change will occur whatever we may do now, as the result of emissions already made and a shift in climate of the scale indicated will make it necessary for us to adapt our infrastructure, including transport, housing and the economy, so we can minimise disruption to our work and lives in the future.

The 2nd annual International Sites and Spills Expo in Toronto was nothing less than ambitious.
November 26, 2012 by Hazmat Management
The 2nd annual International Sites and Spills Expo in Toronto was nothing less than ambitious.
Through more than 40 expert speakers the wide scope of the Expo covered three comprehensive tracks in hazardous materials, remediation and clean technology — all in just two days over November 7 – 8, 2012.
The International Centre played host to this year's Expo, which included a keynote speaker session by northern Ontario author and entrepreneur Gord McGuinty. The topic? How to protect project developments from politics and media in this age of technological scrutiny.
"That news is out and developing in the marketplace and the community's psyche before the company's even had a chance to react. That's what we're up against today," McGuinty warned the Expo's delegates.
McGuinty, author of TRASHED, is best known for being part of the controversial Adams Mine landfill project of the early nineties. It was a time he said he wasn't "aggressive enough" in his defence of the project when criticism — especially environmental criticism — started to build around the idea of sending Toronto's garbage north to a defunct iron mine.
In the end, McGuinty's mega-project was crushed under the weight of the controversy.
Another celebrity keynote speaker at the Expo, Cory Chalmers, had the unenviable task of conducting a slideshow presentation of disturbing images of hoarder homes just minutes after the Expo's breakfast wrapped.
Chalmers, host of the hit A&E show Hoarders, is a remediation expert when it comes to decluttering the homes of isolated people who struggle to part ways with the things they own, be it animals, magazines, or their own body's waste.
"It's not just a towel and a bucket. It's a serious job," Chalmers told the Expo's delegates.
Chalmers, CEO and founder of Steri-Clean, Inc., shocked the Expo with hoarding facts. He told the story of one woman who claimed not to have a cent to her name. After his cleanup crew finished wading through the mounds of garbage stashed in the woman's home, more than $220,000 in savings bonds were found among the mess.
Chalmers warned that five out of every 100 homes you drive past contain hoarders. More often that not, these people are psychologists, engineers and professors, he explained.
The final Expo slot was left to David McRobert, an Ontario-based environmental lawyer and contributor to HazMat Management magazine.
McRobert, author of My Municipal Recycling Program Made Me Fat and Sick, led the Expo's delegates through the dizzying array of changes to environmental approval systems in Ontario and at the federal level.
In recent years, Ontario in particular has expanded from just a few dozen environmental regulations to more than 200 regulations, McRobert told the Expo's delegates.
While the regulatory changes can be daunting, McRobert encouraged delegates to put regulators to work if they need to iron out confusing details for a project.
"Know your regulators," McRobert said. "They're pretty helpful. You can just call them."
The International Sites and Spills Expo is produced by HazMat Management magazine and the Business Information Group, Canada's largest publisher of trade and business magazines and directories.

Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Maya Angelou asks adults ages 55 - 90 to join study
The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)—a project developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—is seeking 800 older adults to participate in a study aimed at identifying biological markers of memory decline and AD. Ultimately, scientists hope that brain and biological changes can be detected before memory decline and other symptoms appear, allowing the effectiveness of drugs to be evaluated at the earliest possible time.
The $60 million, 5-year ADNI study is the most comprehensive effort to date to identify brain and other biological changes associated with memory decline. The project was begun by NIA and is supported by more than a dozen other Federal agencies and private-sector companies and organizations. Investigators at 58 local study sites across the U.S. and Canada will be asking people ages 55 to 90 to become a part of this landmark research.
"We encourage people to participate in this important study because it will help us to identify needed biological markers of memory decline and Alzheimer's disease. These biomarkers could become comparable to the cholesterol measures now used as biomarkers for heart disease," says Susan Molchan, M.D., program director for the ADNI project at the NIA. "In addition, using what we learn from the brain scans and other tests, we hope to lessen the time and cost of testing drugs and to bring treatments to patients much sooner."
Scientists are looking for new ways to measure changes in the brain that occur with normal aging and with the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a subtle but measurable transitional state between the cognitive changes of normal aging and very early AD. People with MCI have memory impairments but otherwise function well and do not meet clinical criteria for dementia.
The ADNI researchers will employ serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); positron emission tomography (PET) scans; measurement of various biological compounds in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine; and clinical and neuropsychological assessments to track MCI and early AD progression. MRI and PET scans are used in both medical practice and research to produce images of the brain.
The study's principal investigator (PI) is neuroimaging expert Michael W. Weiner, M.D., of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco. The Northern California Institute for Research and Education, a foundation affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, has been awarded the multi-center ADNI grant.
Dr. Weiner explains that the 800 adults ages 55 to 90 sought for the study will be divided into three groups: approximately 200 cognitively normal older people will be followed for 3 years, 400 people with MCI will be followed for 3 years, and 200 people with early AD will be followed for 2 years. At the end of the study, the researchers will compare neuroimaging, biological, and clinical information from the participants, looking for correlations among the data to develop standards for tracking progression of memory decline.
A unique feature of the project is the development of an imaging and biomarker database that can be tapped by researchers in both the public and private sectors as they develop and test drugs for memory decline.
A special aspect of the project is the support of Dr. Maya Angelou, the eminent poet, author, educator, and historian. Dr. Angelou, a professor at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, is working with the researchers to ask the public to take part in the study through the national ADNI recruitment outreach campaign, "Imagine Stopping the Progression of Alzheimer's Disease," in which she will appear in radio and print public service announcements. She has a number of dear friends who have suffered the effects of AD.
ADNI is the largest public-private partnership on brain research underway at the NIH, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). In addition to the NIA, the Federal ADNI partners are the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, also part of NIH, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, another DHHS agency.
Partnership with private-sector funders is managed through the not-for-profit Foundation for the NIH, established by the U.S. Congress to support NIH's mission by facilitating private-sector organizations' support of and involvement with NIH programs. Corporate and nonprofit participants are: Pfizer Inc; Wyeth Research; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Eli Lilly and Company; GlaxoSmithKline; Merck & Co., Inc.; AstraZeneca AB; Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation; Eisai Global Clinical Development; the Alzheimer's Association; Elan Corporation, plc; and the Institute for the Study of Aging.

Mark Sanchez hit Santonio Holmes with a 37-yard touchdown pass with 16 seconds left in overtime to give the New York Jets a 26-20 victory over the host Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a game featuring many story lines.
Both teams blew chances in overtime before New York (7-2) forced a punt deep inside Cleveland territory that Jim Leonhard returned 18 yards to the Cleveland 37.
On the next play, Sanchez found Holmes on a quick slant. Holmes broke two tackles and sprinted to the end zone for the Jets' second straight overtime win. They beat Detroit 23-20 last week.
Cleveland (3-6) squandered a chance in overtime when Chansi Stuckey fumbled a completed pass from Colt McCoy inside the Jets' 35-yard line, but New York couldn't capitalize when Nick Folk missed his third field goal of the game, a 47-yarder that was far right.
After compiling 14 yards of total offense in their first three second-half possessions, McCoy took the Browns 59 yards on 10 plays, connecting with Mohamed Massaquoi for a 3-yard TD with 44 seconds left to pull even 20-20 and force overtime.
McCoy finished 18 of 31 for 205 yards.
Sanchez, who played most of the second half with a right calf injury, led New York on two second-quarter touchdown drives that totaled 156 yards on 20 plays for a 17-13 lead that held up until McCoy's late TD drive. He finished 27 of 44 for 299 yards with two touchdowns and one pick.
Jets coach Rex Ryan coached against his twin brother Rob Ryan, the Browns' defensive coordinator, and Browns coach Eric Mangini was facing the club that fired him two years ago.

PKF Prize Offer For Primary Pupils
Primary schools throughout Nottinghamshire have the chance to win a day out at Trent Bridge thanks to a competition being launched this week.
Pupils will be asked to provide a caption to accompany the image of Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read and his team mates with the winning entry earning a day at Trent Bridge for their classmates.
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and local business advisers PKF are promoting the competition as part of PKF's sponsorship of community cricket. The winning school will be invited to watch Notts play Hampshire at Trent Bridge in the LV= County Championship in May.
The prize includes cricket coaching, an opportunity to interview some of the club's players before the match and the chance to play on the outfield during the lunch break.
"We have been sponsoring the Nottinghamshire cricket team for ten years and support all its work with schools," said PKF Partner Paul Ellis.
"Trent Bridge is a great place to watch cricket and the Nottinghamshire team is a great asset to the county. After the success of last year's competition which saw children from Normanton on Soar Primary School participate in a coaching session with Luke Fletcher and Andy Carter, we hope others can enjoy the benefits of the prize in 2010."
All Nottinghamshire primary schools will be invited to enter the competition.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at the new EJ step-by-step guide to set up a profitable website.
You will find it under the "How You Can Start" tab in the navigation bar above, or click this link –
How You Can Start: A Step-By-Step Guide To Set Up A Profitable Website
You will have to enter your name and email to access the page, which adds you to the EJ Newsletter.
It should be pretty clear that this guide is intended to be a first point of contact for anyone new to this website and new to the process of learning how to make money online.
I spent a month putting together the guide, digging into the archives of this blog, my online courses and various other materials I have produced over the years in an attempt to collect the best of the best into a recommended order of study.
As stated on the page, the guide exists to –
It's basically a complete online course in internet marketing – and 100% free.
Over the years the design of this blog has changed many times. The purpose of facelifts is to increase usability, modernize the layout to keep up with design standards, integrate new features as they become popular (think Facebook like and Twitter tweet buttons, and before them, Digg and StumbleUpon buttons), speed up load times and improve SEO performance – and most importantly – adapt to changing overall strategy.
Plus, it's fun to update designs, it's like moving around the furniture in your house, everything feels new again.
The challenge with blog design is meeting the needs of multiple goals. When I started blogging I was all about the RSS feed, assuming that was the most important metric. Then my email list became the most critical element, but I also wanted to make sure the content was read, that sponsors advertising is seen, that articles are easily shared through social media, etc etc.
At one stage my monetization strategy was the traditional blogging and publishing model, focusing on increasing unique visitors and pageviews so I could make money from advertising that included banners and Google AdSense. Adsense failed for me, but sponsors who paid a monthly fee for banners worked well, and has for seven years straight.
Next I tried affiliate marketing, which proved lucrative. A couple of years later I produced my own products, which was even more lucrative.
I learned that email marketing converted better than blogging, although my email list was fueled by my blog, so the relationship is symbiotic. I needed the blog for subscribers (the front end) and the list to drive traffic to specific offers on demand.
All of these goals and income methods compete for attention on your blog. Figuring out what you want to focus on comes down to your strategy, which then dictates what your blog design should look like.
Are you about email opt-ins and conversion rates, or banner ad impressions and click-throughs, or all of these goals?
Some of my goals with the new design for EJ were to –
It's difficult to do everything at once, and the list above isn't comprehensive, I have other goals as well.
At the end of the day we are all dealing with a finite variable – the reader's attention span – so there is only so much you can present to them. The more you ask, the less you will achieve of each outcome.
Again, overall strategy dictates a lot of these decisions, and everything is a work in progress. All you can do is figure out what you want, how you can get there and get busy testing to prove your assumptions. Watch your metrics and your bank balance to help determine what is working and what isn't.
I spotted a trend recently that I am surprised has taken so long to surface. Bloggers have begun to realize that they don't have a very good "entry page" for new people to first learn about their blog.
Step into the mind of a new visitor to your blog for a second… Think about the questions in their head, their lack of a framework about you or your website and you will begin to see how important what kind of first impression your blog makes is. You need to manage their expectations and over deliver value in one very short-lived first impression.
Unfortunately for so many blogs, the first impression they make is whatever blog post is at the top of their blog on any given day. If you have good content, that's not such a bad thing. However it is very unlikely one blog post is an accurate representation of what your blog truly offers, and many first time readers will leave without discovering your value – or more importantly, subscribing.
One of the secrets I've kept hidden away for a long time (although if you think about it it's not that hidden or tricky), is why my free report, the Blog Profits Blueprint, is so important and successful.
While other bloggers who write about blogging have produce a ton more content then I have over the years, most of them failed to capture their readers on to an email list. They also failed to create good entry content or a way to introduce new readers to what they offer. They usually left it up to their About page to describe what their blog offers.
My Blueprint has been the best first impression I could make. It's comprehensive, it's a one-stop solution from A to Z, it over delivers, it collects my best ideas in one place and best of all, to get it, people must subscribe to my list, so I can keep in contact. It's also been great for word of mouth and thus viral traffic, bringing new people to my blog every day.
The Blueprint also aligned with my strategy and main monetization method. I sold a course on how to make money with blogs, so offering a free report on the exact same thing is a great way to bring in my target audience. This is one of the reasons why I've been able to sell several hundred thousand dollars of my Blog Mastermind course over the years.
Of course that all changed recently. I shut down Blog Mastermind. All my other courses are closed too (as I type this), and my blog strategy has changed as well. This is a bit risky as I have a working model that makes good money, but transition is important, and I'm personally ready for a change. I enjoy experimenting, I'm an entrepreneur after all.
I don't know what your specific goals are, but I do know all blogs need a tool that gives a good first impression.
EJ is nearing it's seventh birthday so naturally there is a lot of content in the archives, plenty of which I could use to create a good "first impression" page.
That's exactly what I did with the How You Can Start page. It speaks to the main goal most visitors to EJ have, it over delivers, it's a complete A to Z solution and with the registration process brings people on to our newsletter.
Your blog may not be old enough that you have a wealth of content in your archives, but that doesn't mean you can't highlight your best work so far.
I recommend you do this using a "Start Here" page of some kind. Even just listing your top 10 articles so far, is a good beginning point.
It's important that your entry page does the following –
If you have a free report, or video series, or something similarly comprehensive, your entry point may be that resource, in which case make sure every page of your blog presents that offer. This especially makes sense if you sell a product related to the resource, as you can use your email list to run people through a gauntlet (series of autoresponder emails) to pre-sell your product.
Ideally, do everything. Have an entry page that stands alone, and offer a free report and newsletter. This can take a while to build up, so take your time with it.
Presently EJ offers my two leading free reports, an email newsletter and the guide, but it has taken several years to create all these resources.
I'll leave you with one important piece of advice.
As soon as you start blogging on a regular basis with the intention of using your blog for business objectives you immediately begin to distance yourself from the most important group of people – your readers.
As someone studying how to blog and how to make money online you begin to see the "meta" behind everything and lose the frame of what it is like to just "be a reader". This is natural of course, but unfortunately you also lose perspective on what your readers actually want.
It helps if you think back to a time before you knew what you know now and consider what you were thinking about, what your motivations were and how you looked at information online. I suggest you also seek input from others, review successful blogs and of course, ask your readers directly for feedback.
Knowing what kind of first impression to make is just as important as setting up the resources to do it, so don't assume anything.
In the spirit of asking for feedback, once you have taken a look at the new How You Can Start page, I'd love your feedback on it.
Please leave your comment below and tell me what you think, in particular whether it meets your motivation for coming to this site.
Yaro Starak
Hi Yaro,
Yep nice update to the blog. Much easier to find out info on "making money online" – which is pretty much the theme of your site.
Yes traditional blogs are not designed very well for first time visitors and organizing posts by dates is not that useful unless your site is a news site (another trend – not dating posts). I have seen the trend around successful sites such as Steve Pavlina Home page or Copyblogger or SEOBook.com . These now look like web business with blogs. It is very easy to see what they want the user to do. I like the model.
I am not sure if you should make it mandatory to include an email address to access that page, especially when new readers do not know what is there in that page. Maybe you can provide a list of topics that are covered there and then ask for people to subscribe to access them all? Or, you could make a pdf of all the articles and allow them to download it for casual reading after they register with their email address.
Many people are afraid of change. If their site is making money they don't want to mess with it. I think change is good but, I may change things up too much and not give people to get use to my brand with a consistent appearance.
Thanks for the great post.
Hey yaro I selected a niche rather a keyword "Affordable Website Design" and I am using WordPress to build my site that contains all web related services. The problem is I also started a blog and I Am getting readers. but they never ever convert to customers. Sometimes I feel why I am I giving away valuable information without any reason. Is my blog strategy for my web design services backfiring on me? Please suggest.
Page not found.
Ohh. I am sorry. I thought it was a temporary glitch. I click on the download button and I get the message "page not found".
I tried again this morning with the same result.I have already your "Blog Profits Blueprint".
I was expecting a new report.
Now I am not sure what actually I am supposed to download.
Hi Yaro,
I like what you have done with the design of your blog and do you think that changing the focus from "Yaro" to "EJ" will work in the way that you hoped it will.
What I am saying is that many people, me included look up to you as a leader in the blogging industry. It's you and not EJ so much that people like. Just curious to your answer.
Wow, your guide is very impressive. Nice work Yaro!
Hi Yaro, I'm unable to see the Make money online page even after I registered and verified (the pop up keeps coming up).
Hey Yaro.
I think the "How To Make More Money" page is looking great. Everything is very big and bold, which is great for holding peoples' attention. I've noticed that a lot of websites are moving to the "big" design model (big text, big boxes, wide page layout), and I don't think this is just some design fad. It actually makes a ton of sense when you think of it, because everyone is so overstimulated online that a page with lots of big elements has a better chance of holding attention than a site with tiny print, tiny graphics, etc.
Also, I just had one question.
One thing I've been thinking about a lot lately is whether or not to stay with a free blogging service. I personally use wordpress, which is great for now because it offers pretty good free templates and lets you get started for free. However, I'm beginning to realize that over the long run, if my blog gets a big audience, I'm going to have a hard time monetizing it due to all the restrictions WordPress has in place on free blogs, and the fact that WordPress apparently takes part of your ad revenue. Eventually, I'm going to want to run my own site. Should I migrate now or later?
Hey Yaro
I love your site and style and wish you well with the transition. You have to take risks to succeed and this one seems like a logical calculated risk – the best kind!
You know guys a lot of people think that SEO is the key to success and they WERE true. However in Today's time there is something emerging which is called SMO (Social Media Optimization) and that is where all the websites are heading. So if you wanna get good flow of organic traffic to website it's important to optimize your website for Google+, FB and Twitter along with the standard SEO practices. After the Google Panda Update Good SMO is getting some active response.
Yaro, you're right here (as you generally are on these matters!). I am still focusing on getting content onto my blog at this stage but already see the difference a good first impression can make. I asked a few friends to provide feedback on my initial efforts and the common denominator seems to be in favour of a more 'website' look. By this I mean a static home page with sufficient information to draw in new readers who will then progress to the regularly updated sections. I think this is the way forward and call this concept a 'blogsite' – the mechanics of a blog but the appearance of a website…but I'm not there yet!
I would still prefer it to be an email course. Too much information on one page to me/
Hi Yaro,
I find your method is expensive to deploy compare with darren's workbook where not much investment required. I still cant sense my confident in monetizing at the moment.
As a beginner like anyone, i tend to evaluate the ROI and is at contant worry about traffics and quality of content.
Yaro, Any advise for blogger in same situation as me ?
-When is the right time to invest on email list ? (Aweber)
-I'm still not getting enough traffic, does that mean its not a good time to invest USD19/monthly (i need to multiple X3.3 for malaysian ringgit)
With this constraint, i find it difficult to progress as your method has recommended to build the list at early stage of blog life cycle.
Therefore, i feel creating quality content is first pririty unless you can guide me how to start email list even with low traffics with 20 post.
Add to above msg,
I'm working on changing my blog focus from quality, lean sigma to write about Habits. this mean i only have 3 post. Please advise based on you experience.
Is this still worth taking your recomendation ?

Thanks for the information. I just signed up. I am sure I will learn a lot. I will comeback with feedback
I like your new design, especially the footer part. It looks really
nice. I am unable to see the Make money online page after verifying my
email account. Good luck with your new brand. I'm sure it will be also
very successful.
~Mir Imran Elahi
Very helpful and practical advice and I am looking forward to implementing it on my blog. Thanks!
Great article! With regard to using a blog to make a great first impression, any ideas how to make window installation interesting?
Hi Yaro,
I was in the comment section of this post when found an interesting thing. I do agree what Justin had said about you "It's you and not EJ so much that people like" and you replied very nice as well. I think EJ is a medium to find Yaro easily. Isn't it ?
It always seem so obvious when others point it out to you. My blog's about a month old now, and of course the landing page takes you to the most recent article. I'll be making this change asap. Thanks for the advice!
Yaro, I agree with you on your point about keeping focus. One thing I would like to add is an eye for the details. those who miss out small details on their homepage or blog lose readers and clients, because minor glitches shatter confidence in people.
I love your site and style and wish you well with the transition. You have to take risks to succeed and this one seems like a logical calculated risk – the best kind!

Homeless families are to be moved out of London into cheaper areas.(32 Posts)
'Working families, ex-servicemen and people who volunteer will get priority in council housing lists over those who are homeless or destitute under new Whitehall plans.
Vulnerable homeless families will be rehoused in the private rented sector, often many miles from where they live, to free up social homes for so-called "priority" households, according to a government document presented to councils this week and seen by the Guardian.
The government is privately urging councils to adopt housing allocation policies that favour "deserving" families, alongside draconian powers that in effect remove the long-established obligation on councils to provide a social-rented property to homeless families.
The move, which comes as local authorities anticipate a huge wave of families presenting as homeless as a result of welfare reforms, is likely to accelerate the process by which poorer families in the private rented sector who are made homeless are shifted from expensive areas such as London to cheaper areas of the UK.
'Ministers, and local authorities adopting the policy, are likely to portray the change as one that frees up social housing for poor working families who can no longer afford to get on the property ladder, and more controversially, as a way to stop people trying to jump to the top of the council housing list by declaring themselves as homeless.
But critics have condemned the move as taking essential welfare resources away from the most needy and vulnerable and returning Britain to a pre-Cathy Come Home model of social housing provision in which local officials decide which families deserve to be given affordable homes.
Ministers have publicly condemned councils for rehousing vulnerable families miles away from where they were settled. But privately officials accept that benefit caps and soaring rents, coupled with the new homelessness guidance, will give councils in high-cost housing areas little option but to relocate households out of their home borough.'
When I first read this I felt appalled at the effect it would have on homeless families. I thought what it sounds like is social engineering or even social cleansing. Also, removing the obligation of the council to house people really does put them at the mercy of unscrupulous private landlords. And why should people have to move from an area where they might have family and friends, schools, etc?
But although everything in me is revolted at the idea of uprooting families like this, could it actually be better for them in the long run? If, for example, they are moved from an inner city area with all the associated problems to a place where they could have a higher quality of life? Or am I clutching at straws?
And the idea of giving so much power to local officials really does worry me.
I really don't think it is about Social engineering, but I'm generally someone that likes to see the positive in things, so I could be wrong!
I think that under the last governement, a strong feeling of unfairness was created. It became a common opinion that those who don't work or who contribute the least to society are the ones who receive the most of societies resources. Personally, I think there is some truth in that. It is great for people who need the most to receive the most, but only as long as everyone else isn't ignored. Especially those who work hard to contribute to society.
Policies like this are, in my opinion, helpful to readdress the balance. It needs to be done, because if it isn't, we will end up with even more people feeling disenfranchised and unwilling to contribute to society as they will feel they never get anything back in return.
alemci Children with parents in the forces can get funded boarding school places. This is because it has long been recognised that frequent moves can have a severely detrimental effect on a childs academic attainment.
falls off chair, help me up Freddo
This is about social engineering. It is about ensuring that one community is sustainable when evaluated through economic measure whilst creating a different "type" of community elsewhere. The costs to society and the country will be huge.
I am quite happy to agree that there is a small minority of feckless individuals, the sludge at the bottom of the jar who for various reasons will likely not contribute positively where ever they go. Positive change happens slowly whilst negative outcomes can happen over night. Many of these people need support and they also need role models. If we ship them off to a ghetto north of Watford where they will no doubt be surrounded by people ONLY like themselves, how do we propose to help these people.
Where is the money going to come from for community regeneration projects in these ghettoised areas. Who will dare enter them and attempt to work with some of these people when they are all clustered together. DOH....... there won't be any money, or work, just sanctions, Atos and eventually room in the prisons that this government is keen to build. Private prisons!
I remember just after the Brixton Riots, I went with my father to visit a job my father had been working on (new road laylout) he had to pick up some plans, I refused to get out of the car. I was terrified. I wasn't alone in feeling this way, there were areas where the police at that time, didn't patrol. My fathers site office was broken into regularly and in the day he had security. New roads benefit everyone but disenfranchised people do not always understand this and if you throw them all in together you will end up with Dantes Inferno. " "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"
Mini, I partly agree with you.
I don't think a plan like this will be breaking up communities if its aim is to help people that contribute to those communities.
If the people who a to be moved are contributing nothing, but the services they take will be available in the other areas, then I don't see the problem.
This isn't about ideals and what would be 'nice to have'. We have to accept that there is a limited amount of housing in certain places, and while we do need more housing to be built, that just can't happen in already overstretched, densely populated areas. There is a problem that requires more than one solution, and this plan is just one possible solution. It is not possible for councils to do the best for each and every individual when they have such limited resources, so they have to do what is best for the community as a whole. Keeping the people that contribute over the people who don't is what is best for the community as a whole.
Much like a school teacher who can't give the absolute best to thirty five year olds. Se can meet their needs and do the best for the whole class, but there will always be children that would benefit from extra, from one to one teaching or from extra resources. But the amount of help that can be given is limited. As long as everyone gets 'good enough', then I think that's all we can expect from the state.
It's madness. Yes, people have always moved to find work, so why the hell is the government forcing people out of places where there ARE likely to be jobs and dumping them in places where there aren't enough jobs to go round in the first place?
It will cost society, individuals, communities, the NHS and schools far more dealing with the results of all this disruption. People's health will get worse. Children will do worse at school. There is nothing good about this idea at all.
Yes it is very sad that people may be forced to move miles from family and community support, support that some of them increasingly rely upon as state welfare services are cut back.
Uprooting economically vulnerable people many of whom will have complex social needs as well as lacking qualifications, work experience or even just good health is social cleansing.
Community isn't a "nice little place" it is the interface between private and public where people live out their daily lives. Community is about place, belonging, feeling accepted, supported not about manicured lawns and how much profit a person creates for his employer.
This is absolutely not about prioritising community over individuals, this is about breaking up communities and dispossessing the poor of their right to a dignified existence.
often people have to move away from their families. It has been happening for years'. for example somewhere like Cornwall where the local kids cannot afford property and there is little employment so they may move to London.
I agree with Freddo.
What about kids with parents in the forces, they move schools.
It is sad that people will have to be moved away from families if they don't want to be. But sometimes it has to happen anyway for other reasons, and I don't think that having a home in your first choice location is something that people deserve to be given automatically.
Some areas just can't take any more people, especially in cities. So no matter how valid a persons reasons are for wanting to stay in a certain area, it can't always happen. When homes become available in a certain area, then it makes sense for people who make a contribution to that are to stay, and the ones who don't contribute to be moved somewhere else.
This isn't about who deserves housing the most. People who need housing will get it. It's about making the community a priority over an individual. If a community, as well as an individual would lose something valuable by someone being moved to a different area, then it makes sense to try to help them to stay.
It makes me shiver to think about vulnerable families with children or elderly people being moved miles away from their relatives and communities. Children being uprooted from schools.
On the other hand well-off families living in areas with high housing costs are going to be delighted as disadvantaged families are gradually moved out of the area, into areas with other poor families where housing costs are low.
This will do wonders for SATS scores in state schools in areas like Richmond and Kew.
I am not writing anyone off. But creating 'sinks' areas dominated by people who already face problems is not likely to lead to the new Bournville in 20 years time. Pollyanna politics isn't going to cut it here.
ghettos pfftt maybe if they tackled the huge amount of unemployment so people had jobs there would be less poverty and no need for ghettos to be created.
There are plenty of people that need social housing that function perfectly well in society that have those things, or have had to deal with those things.
You can't write people off as being able to create nothing but a ghetto because of disability, mental health problems, family breakdowns etc.
as Viva says this is simply going to create a whole new generation of sink estates and indeed towns.
I's there some reason I don't know about that would prevent them from creating a nice little community?'
Just minor issues like the ones that landed them in social housing int he first place: addiction, MH issues, disability, family breakdown and resulting stress, trauma due to abuse, long term unemployment leading to unemployability. Etc.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Why would it neccesarily create a ghetto?
Are these people automatically destined to make whatever area is given to them into a dump and start committing anti social crimes? Is there some reason I don't know about that would prevent them from creating a nice little community?
A lot of people already do live in areas where it is extremely difficult if not impossible to get a job. Nobody seems to care very much about them.
they won't get bloody jobs tho, will they?
Basically all poor people will be herded together into ghettos of hopeless poverty that they will never be able to escape from.
I think it does make sense to house homeless families in cheaper areas. Because sure that means more families can be helped.
Ghetto time.
VivaLeBeaver you beat me to it. "London overspill" has been going on for a long time, in various forms. I can name three places within 20 miles of here which were small towns and expanded because people were moved out to ease the pressure on London.
I can see a certain amount of logic in it, in that it is cheaper, but most of the towns where this has already been done have ended up with huge problems as a result.
It sounds to me like the basic principle is that councils will have the same responsibility to house people, but in areas that are the most popular, the limited number of homes should go to the people that contribute the most to that society.
Which seems like common sense.
It's happened before. The town where I went to school doubled in size in the 1960s as families were sent up on the train to accommodation here. A whole massive estate was built to house them. It caused no end of problems in the town, suddenly 50% of the population were unemployed.
Which had a major knock on effect for the more established residents.
Major integration issues.
I lived there in the late 80s, early 90s and the town still had a reputation as been a shit hole, especially that estate. It's a bit better now but still has cheaper housing and higher unemployment than other towns in the county.
There has never been an obligation to provide social-rented property for homeless families. You end up in refuge miles away as it is.
Not many people are on benefits by choice. Don't believe all you see in the papers.

Friday Fridge Clean-Out - for real.
My Friday link round-up gets its name from the way I sometimes feed my family on a Friday night, using as many leftovers as possible. I have been doing a version of that frequently since our power quit on Monday. Living in New Jersey is challenging this week but fortunately we had no property damage and family members are all okay.
Packing coolers with ice and thawed food, cooking and eating by flashlight, piling on warm clothing, and long gas lines are nothing compared to the devastation to our south, now a Jersey Shore no one would recognize. Right now I'm camped out at my mother-in-law's dining room table, where there's heat, lights, and a neighbor's wifi signal. Hoping my East Coast readers are faring well.
And so, the links...

Issues Related to Competition and Subscriber Rates in the Cable Television Industry
GAO-04-8: Published: Oct 24, 2003. Publicly Released: Oct 24, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:

(202) 512-6670
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Over 70 million American households receive television service from a cable television operator. In recent years, rates for cable service have increased at a faster pace than the general rate of inflation. GAO agreed to (1) examine the impact of competition on cable rates and service, (2) assess the reliability of information contained in the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) annual cable rate report, (3) examine the causes of recent cable rate increases, (4) assess the impact of ownership affiliations in the cable industry, (5) discuss why cable operators group networks into tiers, and (6) discuss options to address factors that could be contributing to cable rate increases.
Competition leads to lower cable rates and improved quality. Competition from a wire-based company is limited to very few markets. However, where available, cable rates are substantially lower (by 15 percent) than in markets without this competition. Competition from direct broadcast satellite (DBS) companies is available nationwide, and the recent ability of these companies to provide local broadcast stations has enabled them to gain more customers. In markets where DBS companies provide local broadcast stations, cable operators improve the quality of their service. FCC's cable rate report does not appear to provide a reliable source of information on the cost factors underlying cable rate increases or on the effects of competition. GAO found that cable operators did not complete FCC's survey in a consistent manner, primarily because the survey lacked clear guidance. In particular, GAO found that 84 of the 100 franchises it surveyed did not provide a complete or accurate accounting of their cost changes for the year. Also, GAO found that FCC does not initiate updates or revisions to its classification of competitive and noncompetitive areas. Thus, FCC's classifications might not reflect current conditions. A variety of factors contribute to increasing cable rates. During the past 3 years, the cost of programming has increased considerably (at least 34 percent), driven by the high cost of original programming, among other things. Additionally, cable operators have invested large sums in upgraded infrastructures, which generally permit additional channels, digital service, and broadband Internet access. Some concerns exist that ownership affiliations might indirectly influence cable rates. Broadcasters and cable operators own many cable networks. GAO found that cable networks affiliated with these companies are more likely to be carried by cable operators than nonaffiliated networks. However, cable networks affiliated with broadcasters or cable operators do not receive higher license fees, which are payments from cable operators to networks, than nonaffiliated networks. Technological, economic, and contractual factors explain the practice of grouping networks into tiers, thereby limiting the flexibility that subscribers have to choose only the networks that they want to receive. An ` la carte approach would facilitate more subscriber choice but require additional technology and customer service. Additionally, cable networks could lose advertising revenue. As a result, some subscribers' bills might decline but others might increase. Certain options for addressing cable rates have been put forth. Although reregulation of cable rates is one option, promoting competition could influence cable rates through the market process. Policies to bring about lower cable rates could have other effects that would need to be considered.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FCC has modified several aspects of its survey on cable franchise rates and in doing so implemented GAO's recommendations regarding the clarify of their survey.
Recommendation: To improve the quality and usefulness of the data that FCC collects on cable television rates and competition in the subscription video industry, the Chairman of the FCC should take immediate steps to improve the cable rates survey by (1) including more detailed, standardized instructions and examples for how to calculate the cost changes that the cable operators experienced in the previous year and (2) eliminating the requirement for the cost increases to sum to the change in rates.
Agency Affected: Federal Communications Commission
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: FCC does not believe that it can change the manner in which it classifies franchise areas as having "effective competition".
Recommendation: To improve the quality and usefulness of the data that FCC collects on cable television rates and competition in the subscription video industry, the Chairman of the FCC should review the commission's process for maintaining the status of effective competition among franchises in order to keep these designations more up to date.

Byatt, Coetzee and Mantel top Man Booker shortlist
By Luke Baker
LONDON (Reuters) - Familiar names headed the shortlist for one of the world's top literary awards on Tuesday with JM Coetzee and AS Byatt two of the six authors left in the running for the coveted Man Booker Prize.
Byatt, 73, who won the prize in 1990 for her novel "Possession," makes the 2009 shortlist with "The Children's Book," the tale of a famous writer who pens a separate, private book for each of her children, complete with family mysteries.
The novel explores issues of class, love, politics and idealism among families across generations, exploring rebellious sons and wayward daughters who dream of independent futures.
Writers writing about writers also forms the basis of "Summertime," the 2009 entry for South African novelist Coetzee, a mainstay of the Man Booker shortlist in the recent years.
Coetzee, who will become the only writer to take the prize three times if he is named winner on October 6, tells the story of a young biographer who is working on a book about the late writer John Coetzee. As he interviews friends and relatives, a complex picture emerges of Coetzee's past and character.
The work completes a trilogy of fictionalized memoirs for Coetzee, 69, who has previously produced "Boyhood" and "Youth."
Coetzee, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003, first won the Booker prize in 1983 for "Life & Times of Michael K" and repeated the feat in 1999 with "Disgrace."
Another notable contender on the shortlist -- and one strongly backed by bookmakers who make her favorite for the 50,000 pound ($80,000) prize -- is Hilary Mantel, 57, whose intricately woven historical novels have a strong following. Continued...

Like It, Or Not, "The Decision" Has Worked
Many people didn't like LeBron's James' decision to join up with Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat, during the offseason. Ken Berger, of cbssports.com is one of those people. But he also admits "The Decision" has proved to be effective. Read Berger's column, courtesy of cbssports.com, below.
Miami Heat forward LeBron James
Deep down, I know he has a point.
There, I said it. Gregg Doyel has a point.
Doyel is disgusted that free agency's version of genetic engineering has produced an unstoppable, unlikeable monster in Miami, where most people other than me believe there will be an actual championship celebration soon — not only the premature one that happened last summer.

How do you find molar mass?
Look up the atomic masses on the periodic table OR look in a table for the elements. An example:
Ca = approximately 40
C = approximately 12
O = approximately 16 and 16 x 3 = 48.
Then add all of them.
40 + 12 + 48 = approximately 100. I just rounded all of them to make it a little easier for you to see.
Here is a table on the web if you don't have one.
Thank you! but what about for a molar mass for a single element? my teacher said it is different from the atomic mass, but all the research i've done says it is not different.
You are right. Atomic masses are the masses you see in the table or on the periodic chart. I suspect your teacher is talking about the molar mass of elements that are diatomic; i.e., two or more atoms to the molecule. For example, O2 is oxygen = 32 (16 x 2)
O3 is ozone = 48 (16 x 3)
N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, H2, are done the same way. P is P4 and S is S8 in the elemental state. I think most, if not all, of the remaining elements are single atoms to the molecule.
I should have said "polyatomic" or "multiatomic" instead of diatomic. N2, I2, H2, and most of the others I listed are diatomic. Of course, you realize O3, ozone, is triatomic, P4 is tetratomic, and S8 is what? Octatomic?
Oh Okay. I get it!! thank you so much!!
You're quite welcome. Glad to be of help.
