As we have seen 2018 was a savage year especially for cryptocurrency prices and volatility. The graph says, Bitcoin drops over 80%, Ethereum along with Ripple falls around 90% and nearly Stellar Lumens lost over 90% worth its value.
Despite the losses, there are some genuine crypto enthusiasts that still stand with the hope that market will rise and recover within no time. After analyzing the market being shaken out, still, they are bullish about the innovative industry future 2019.
One such name is Jed McCaleb, he says Yahoo Finance he hasn't fazed by this bear market at all. Moreover, he is still looking at the overall crypto market cap and industry in a very positive manner.
It is funny when people say crypto is down. In my view, it's still way up. It's down from the peak, but on the whole, its way up. We don't focus on the price that much, it doesn't matter to us too much.
Jed McCaleb also explains his feeling on the crypto industry evolution. He states that it is really interesting, what everyone has experienced far more. They have seen the scenario before the time for what we thought would anticipate. Moreover, he looks somewhat amazed by the crypto market is nowadays becoming hype-driven and speculative.
He believes that this "bear market" might change the situation. Though he hardly accepts this term "bear market". Being more precise, Jed McCaleb expects the dip in prices by 2018 will show a recaliberation of funding throughout the crypto industry:
The allocation of capital and resources is wild to watch when these projects that have zero technical merit get millions of dollars. It seems like a big shame… Ninety percent of these projects are B.S. I'm looking forward to that changing.
Additionally, to expressing his thoughts on the crypto industry as a whole, he says something which majority of people playing with cryptocurrency especially bitcoin will not like to accept. He thinks that the majority of the financial institutions will not use bitcoin.
Jed McCaleb states this statement in reply to the question fired by the interviewer. The question is said to be "whether banks | financial institutions will create private blockchain for their use to fit narrative blockchain without Bitcoin".
In my mind, what blockchain gives you is a public record that everyone can see, but they can't change it. So parties can transact even if they don't know each other. So you still need a public chain. It doesn't need to be the bitcoin blockchain, but if it's not a public chain, then you're missing the point.
The public blockchain including Bitcoin is important for banks along with financial institutions. However, Banks themselves will never use bitcoin. Following this talk, Jed McCaleb also says about his project- Stellar Lumens.
Lastly, he assures that in 2019, he along with his team will demonstrate the world a better more in-depth phase at Stellar, to show its primary potential.
What do you think will the government banks use Bitcoins or not? Share your thoughts in our comments section.

USA Today, the newspaper with a daily readership of 3.3 million, is testing an ad-free version of its mobile application for readers who want to avoid interruptions from paying sponsors. The ad-free version costs $2.99 a month after a free two-week trial, Digiday reported.
Jason Jedlinski, vice president of product development for the USA Today Network, whose online audience consisted of 87.6 million unique visitors in June, said the company decided to test out an ad-free app after seeing reviews from people who said they would be willing to pay for a version stripped of intrusive marketing messages. Ad blockers that work on the mobile web don't affect apps.
USA Today decided to test ad-free subscriptions for its app rather than its website because credit card information is already stored in app stores, app subscribers are heavier users than website readers and ads can't be blocked in the app, making it easier to test the ad-free version.
Newspaper publishers have contended with the loss of display and classified ad revenue as readers steadily migrated toward interactive media after the internet was commercialized in 1994. Some newspapers, particularly The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times, implemented paywalls to urge readers to pay for content, but most internet users have come to expect information to be freely available.
USA Today doesn't expect its ad-free app to be a major driver of revenue with the percentage of subscribers in the single digits among the 24 million devices with its native apps. The company wants to learn more about what kinds of content readers are willing to pay for, their payment methods and how many two-week free trials will convert into paying subscribers, Digiday reported.
The ad-free app is among the ways USA Today is seeking to grow additional revenue while encouraging readers to register on its website with special offers. Its website doesn't have a paywall, but it does ask readers to turn off ad blockers. While the internet has been a fount of misinformation for years, the 2016 U.S. presidential election highlighted the profusion of "fake news" that was shared on social media. As readers discover they can't trust everything they read on social media, news organizations like USA Today have an opportunity to cut through the clutter with impartial reporting of facts.

Waseela begins trial of indoor navigation system
Smart technology to prevent people from getting lost in mega venues has been developed by Waseela, and is currently being tested
Waseela, regional telecommunications, information, and communication technology (ICT) system integrator, has begun testing smart indoor navigation and positioning systems.
These systems would typically be deployed at mega venues in an attempt to prevent individuals from getting lost.
The indoor positioning solutions are technologies that upgrade and complement the design of smart buildings.
An effective smart building requires the integration of many solutions and technologies.
These include building management systems that automatically monitor, control, and regulate the power-consuming subsystems within a building, and park management systems, access security control, surveillance cameras, and audio visual equipment that are connected and integrated by a unified wired and wireless IP network.
Ibrahim Balaawi, managing director of smart building solutions, Waseela, said: "The task of setting up the systems that make a building smart is rather complex, and tedious requiring require detailed design and optimisation engineering.
"Waseela assists in these endeavours, and serves developers and contractors by designing and integrating several systems from various suppliers.
"We use many suppliers in the development of these systems because we believe in utilising the best industry standards available in the market."
The processes involved in the development of a smart building could take six to nine months for completion beginning from the design stage to implementation and commissioning depending on the complexity and size of the project.
Ibrahim added: "Designing smart solutions for a building requires several rounds of consultations, and approvals from the involved parties to ensure that the systems are compatible with the other civil, electromechanical, and general project specifications of the building.
"As such the process, can be lengthy and complex as the civil, electromechanical, and general project specifications may go through changes and variations at different stages of the development.
"In parallel to this, some systems must be approved by governmental authorities."

As you can see quite clearly here, linen succumbs to our every idea. Shaped through the waist to showcase your curves, but do try to avoid those pesky pervs. Though sometimes thin, we've gone for thick straps, with invisible zip and tie at the back. A jazzy stripe style that demonstrates her knack, for coming in colours from noodle to black.
- Taking a break just above the ankle
- Shaped through the waist to show off said curves
- Thick straps
- Tie back detail – to bow or not to bow
- A very sneaky invisible zip

The year end is a natural time for planning, so why not write some goals for the year ahead? Here are 4 great resolutions to get you started – and tips on how to keep them.
Did you make your customers feel special this year? Research shows that 66% of customers who switch brands do so because of a poor service experience, so it's a pretty crucial consideration.
But as customer expectations change, how do you know the standard you should be aiming for? Of course, courtesy goes a long way – you'd never be rude, ignore enquiries or fail to fix a mistake. But over time, best practices and technologies evolve and advance, making customer satisfaction a moving target. Fortunately, the best way to find out what customers want is easy – just listen.
Here are a few ideas for assessing your customer experience:

Few things move faster than social media. That's why you should regularly review your social strategy to make sure you're still focusing on the areas that will best benefit your business.
If you have a dedicated social media team or an expert on staff, they should be able to point towards any obvious improvements that require extra budget or different ways of working. If you're approaching it from a generalist perspective, fear not – it's probably easier than you think to make improvements.

Branding isn't just the colors on your letterhead – done right, it's the backbone of your business identity. The new year is a great time to check that your current branding is still working for you, and make sure it expresses your company's values, personality and strengths.
Give your brand a once-over to make sure it's performing in all the important ways.
For more tips, see our spotlight on brand building
Most businesses know the value of a great customer experience, and as of recently, employee experience is receiving a similar level of recognition. Why not take the new year as an opportunity to make sure you're taking good care of those all-important human resources?
Employee experience starts at the interview stage (or on seeing the job ad, if you're being precise), and continues to the point of exiting a company, so this is a resolution your entire organization can get on board with.

Working as a medical examiner for the Department of Transportation can be a very rewarding career, providing exciting challenges on a daily basis. However, much like most civil service positions, working for the DOT as a medical examiner requires a special certification. The best way to prepare for the test involved in obtaining the certification is to participate in an extensive preparatory that can help you hone the skills you'll be asked to demonstrate.
Train on Your Own Time to Become a DOT Medical Examiner
While you may have ambitions to become a DOT medical examiner, that's not to say you don't currently have other responsibilities. You may be working in another job at the moment, taking care of a family, or pursuing other interests, all of which may keep you from attending formal classes. That's okay. There's another option for you.
The growth of online learning has even been adapted to offer individuals their NRCME training via internet resources. By participating in an online DOT Certification Training Course, you can prepare for the certification exam at your own pace. You can study the materials, which includes videos and other forms of multimedia when you have the time, so your other responsibilities won't suffer. This means you can prepare for the exam at home or when you have a few extra minutes to spare at work, whether it's early morning or late evening.
Select a Thorough Training Course to Help You Prepare
Although there are many online training courses for the DOT medical examiner certification exam, they each offer different materials and different study methods. For instance, the 18-hour training course offered by NADME is supplemented with a note-taking feature and an option to communicate with the course instructor via email. Most courses will also offer sample quizzes and tests, so you can measure your learning progress as you move through the course.
Obtaining certification is essential, because, without it, doctors cannot perform DOT physical exams and will not be listed in the FMCSA national registry of DOT Medical Examiners. For this reason, participating in an organized and extensive training course is a wiser choice than trying to prepare without guidance. Studying with the help of a program, such as that offered by NADME, can increase your chances of doing well on the exam and help you to become a top-rated DOT medical examiner.

Sara and I started a small yoga studio in a quiet North-Eastern ski town, population 254. The rent was roughly $300.00 a month including gas and electric. We just had our first child and didn't want to travel an hour to get to class.
After a year of teaching the locals, friends and family, we decided to move the studio to a more populated area. We found the perfect building on a busy street and created a budget. All we needed to do was: remove five walls, rip out the old carpet and replace it with new one made out of recycled plastic bottles, add bathrooms and showers along with changing rooms, create office space, purchase a new pellet stove to heat the room, add new walls, install full length mirrors, create a desk and benches and much more! We also needed first and last month's security deposit, which was pretty much what we saved from the original studio.
To make our dream a reality we needed to raise $30,000. This number included just enough to cover a few month's rent in case the new space took some time to take off.
As rewards to backers who donated to our project we gave out water bottles, yoga mats, t-shirts/yoga gear as well as monthly and yearly memberships. The reward was not the same for all. If a backer was generous enough to donate $2,000 toward our goal, we awarded them with a $3,500 yoga retreat.
The most given reward was the $1,200 yearly yoga membership. This worked great because within the first few months the place was packed with Angel investors who paid their yearly membership 4 months early. They were the ones who help promote the new space and were excited to bring new yoga buddies along.
I tell everyone about WholeFunding and our experience. We know we couldn't have done it without everyone's support and for that we are truly Blessed!
Thanks for reading our story and good luck with your project!
Michael and Sara

Nadia DolceMusic Artist, Pop : February 19th, 2015
Nadia Dolce is an Italian Canadian pop dance artist from Montreal. Inspired by International music, she incorporates French, Italian, English and Spanish to her songwriting. After the success of last summer's dance/electronica single, "El Gitano", with world renowned, DJ MC Mario, it received International airplay in 26 countries. Nadia gained recognition and continued to write and perform for up and coming local DJs (Chuck Bernard, Ken tracy and Anthony Pag from Sharpshere Records). She caught the attention of MICH2050 music label when she went to record a personal project and impressed them with her songwriting and vocal talents. Her passion and drive towards music persuaded MICH2050 to collaborate on a single, which lead to an EP and now is in the workings of a full album.
Nadia began her journey when she was accepted to the McGill Conservatory of Music for classical vocal training and music theory. She continued to follow her dreams influenced by her musical idols such as Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Whitney Houston. She inherited her nickname Dolce from her girl group "Dolceamare" (sweet and sour) as being the one with the sweet and kindhearted personality. Nadia remained focused on pursuing a solo career. She won the 16th edition of CFMB's Superfantastico (Italian version of American Idol) giving her the opportunity to sing her very own composition, "Believe", in Italy at the Reggio Pop Festival, in August 2011. She also had the opportunity to perform "El Gitano" at the CKOI Beach Party in front of 10 000 people, in 2012 as well as recently performing at various venues such as Moomba Supperclub and Plaza Theatre with her soul sister, Lady A.

Special thanks to (L-R) Patricia Tewes, Kevin Libera, Remuben Franco, Rebekah Evans, Victor Dollar, Sur Stalley, Shannon Hillygus
Thousands of Special Olympics athletes, delegates, and families traveled the globe to compete in the biggest sports event of this past summer, the Special Olympics World Games LA 2015. Competing in events like bocce ball, track, and basketball, Special Olympic athletes showed the most amazing perseverance, strength, and sportsmanship during this exciting event. Read more below about Ventura County Coast's role in this amazing event!
What is the Special Olympics World Games?
The Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more than 4.5 million athletes in 170 countries. The Special Olympics World Games is where the top athletes from each country come together and show off their sportsmanship.
Besides offering competition, the Special Olympics World Games offered an invaluable service: free healthcare. Thousands of Olympians received free dental care, hearing aids, eyewear, shoes, and more that would be unavailable in their home countries.
Ventura County Coast's Role in Special Olympics LA2015
When the Ventura County Lodging Association (VCLA) heard about the athletes' need for accommodations, the association donated over one hundred rooms for participants and their families. When both national and international Olympians reached Ventura County, our community welcomed them with open arms.
Smiling through tears, one New Zealand Special Olympics coach described the hospitality and warmth of the Ventura County Lodging Association as unlike any other. The VCLA was bestowed the honor of receiving two Certificates of Recognition from Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and from Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin during a local awards ceremony. VCLA Director Rebekah Evans voiced that "we were all so excited to be part of such an amazing event".
A very special thanks to the Special Olympics for giving the Ventura County Coast community the chance to meet so many amazing athletes and to the Ventura County Lodging Association for providing these athletes with essential accommodations.
Come stay a night or two at Ventura County Coast by clicking here and get the same extraordinary hospitality!

This eco suit has a real feel-good factor. It's made from materials consciously chosen for their low impact on the environment.
We've cut it from recycled polyester-blend cloth that saves 30 plastic bottles from going into our oceans and landfill. Even better, it's lined in fabric made from a minimum of 99% post-consumer recycled polyester and finished off with 100% biodegradable corozo nut buttons. All this and it still has the same great handle and pin-sharp cut of a Moss London suit. The cloth is tightly woven, so you might find going up one size offers more movement.
Bring out the check's blue highlights with a sky-hued shirt, navy knit or blue pocket square.
Slim fit suits are tailored to create a distinctive and modern silhouette, providing the perfect opportunity for self-expression. Jackets are closely fitted around the chest, across the shoulders and down the sleeves, while tapered trouser legs complete this fashionable look. To best maintain the suit's edgy contours, a slim fit shirt is always the recommended choice.

| 15.1°C Dublin
The chairman of the Oireachtas Health Committee has expressed his concern at the level of outstanding fees owed to cash-strapped hospitals by health insurance firms.
New figures show hospitals were owed a staggering €196m by insurers in March, compared with €139m the previous year.
The significant amount owed by insurers has led to calls for an overhaul of the claims process system.
The Department of Health has begun negotiations with both the HSE and insurers to address the issue.
And the chairman of the Oireachtas Health Committee, Fine Gael TD Jerry Buttimer, said the issue will need to be scrutinised by his committee.
"It defies logic how this amount of money can be outstanding," he said.
The level of fees are detailed in a letter to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), seen by the Irish Independent.
The HSE's Chief Financial Officer Stephen Mulvany had told the committee in April that there was "about €150m" outstanding from health insurers.
But he later wrote to PAC clarifying the figure was indeed higher.
"This was my recollection at the time, however, in hindsight I believe I was thinking of the March 2014 figure, which is €139m - the March 2015 figure is €196m," Mr Mulvany said.
"The difference of €57m comprises a €41.3m increase in the level of claims pending by insurers and a €15.9m increase in other claims awaiting payment by the insurers," he added.
The Irish Patients Association (IPA) said last night that the issue of outstanding sums needed to be addressed.
"The HSE needs to get tougher with itself to recover these fees," said IPA Chairman Stephen McMahon.
And Mr Buttimer said it is likely the issue will be investigated by his committee.
"We have to examine how business is being done here. You cannot condone a situation where fees are being left outstanding for so long," he said.
The news comes after the Irish Independent revealed hundreds of surgical operations and specialist appointments will be outsourced to private health providers.
Some patients on public waiting lists may even be sent abroad over the worrying backlog. Beaumont, Connolly and Drogheda hospitals - which have suffered some of the worst trolley gridlock since the beginning of the year - have issued a tender for the work.

Longtime readers know of my devotion to the sport of triathlon.
This is the time of year I begin swimming, biking and running in earnest.
I am fortunate to be a student of an approach to swimming called Total Immersion (https://totalimmersion.net)
and more fortunate still to be under the guidance of friend and TI founder, Terry Laughlin.
My swim practices are a little different than most people's practices. Rather than piling up yards, when I go in the water
I focus on how many strokes per length I take keeping my body streamlined and getting power from my hips.
Each session in my "aqua-lab" is an opportunity to learn more about swimming efficiently and, as it turns out,
an opportunity to learn more about how we approach problem solving in general.
During a recent practice, my stroke count began to rise above a level of efficiency so I stopped swimming
and started doing some drills to see if I could see any changes.
By simply entering the water in a more relaxed way, I was able to reduce the number of strokes per length by over 25%.
When I changed the stimulus, I changed the response.
And then I began to think.
This principle has universal application.
It applies to communicating.
It applies to problem solving.
It applies to planning.
To be more effective in these areas, start by changing these three stimuli in your organization:
The Trust /Control Relationship
Do you trust the people who work for you?
(If you had to hesitate, I'd like to see you after class…)
There is a correlation. When trust is high, the need for control is low.
When trust is low, the need for control is high.
So how do you become more trusting?
It starts by taking a risk and letting go of control.
The next time you have an opportunity to give someone a job, let them have 100% ownership.
If there is a problem or if they make a mistake, let them be the one that fixes the mistake.
Advise them if you need to, but let them do all the work.
Change the stimulus. Change the response.
The Correction/Criticism Relationship
People sometimes display behaviors that need to be corrected.
No one needs to be criticized.
If you criticize people, they will see you as unsafe.
They won't like you and they'll avoid you.
They won't give you information you might need.
The next time someone frustrates you, avoid the impulse to either act out with them or cut them off.
Instead take time to figure out what you want rather than what you don't like.
When you have collected your thoughts, then and only then will you be to ready to talk.
That way you can discuss ways to change behaviors rather than criticizing the person.
Change the stimulus. Change the response.
The Assumption/Curiosity Relationship
The easiest way to deal with a need or a problem is to make assumptions:
This is the cause.
This is why it happened.
This is who is at fault.
This is how it can be fixed.
The problem with assumptions lies in the math.
The odds that you will guess THE correct outcome in a given situation are unbelievably small.
Rather than assume, get curious and ask questions. You will be surprised at what you learn
with your ears open and your mouth shut.
Also, in the absence of not knowing, try assuming good intent on the part of the
other person by giving them the benefit of the doubt.
You'll be amazed at how open they will be to your questions.
Once again when you change the stimulus you will change the response.
I discovered these lessons in the water.
Try them on dry land and before you know it your relationships with others will begin to move along swimmingly.

The Most Genius Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Is Also Vegan. World, this is the genius chocolate chip cookie we've been waiting for.
Oh, and one other thing: It's vegan. Notice that I didn't say it's genius for a vegan chocolate chip cookie or in spite of it. This cookie, which comes from Ovenly founders Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin, can rest entirely on its own merits: its soft-bellied, chewy, caramelly-crisp-edged, rippled and ringed and puddled with melty chocolate, well-salted, incidentally vegan merits. I realize this is almost incomprehensible if you grew up, like I did, making chocolate chip cookies by beating soft butter with sugar, then dropping in eggs one by one, ignoring what everyone says about eating cookie dough. But I've come to understand some of the kitchen science at work. Even if you're not vegan, sometimes you're out of eggs.

It's good to be back and even better to be toting a recipe that I'm super excited and proud of! Originally I thought about making these cookies after purchasing something very similar at my local grocery store a couple weeks ago. Wonderfully Raw makes a great Macaroon, so I have to give them thanks and a shout out for inspiring me to make today's recipe.
The main difference between my cookie and WR's is the consistency. Before I knew it I had come up with less of a Macaroon, and more of a Meltaway...my other personal favorite cookie. These are just too easy to make... Coconut-Lemon Meltaway Cookies Makes roughly 22 to 24 Cookies Step 1. Dry Ingredients 1 & 1/2 cups Almond Flour (you can make this, or buy it - however most store bought Almond flour is not raw) Raw raspberry lemon cheesecake {vegan, raw, gluten-free} The whole idea of a vegan cheesecake has been fascinating me for months.
I saw pictures on Instagram, blogposts, and they all looked so good. But still, replacing the cheese with nuts? I was not convinced, to say the least. But trying new things has been my mantra the last few months, so why not try a raw vegan "cheese"cake. Since making a whole cake for myself didn't seem like the best idea, I made this one for an evening with 5 friends. The Most Genius Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Is Also Vegan.

Via Angela Snyderon Jan 26, 2014 During my chubby childhood days, I would indulge in sweet treats made with sticks of butter, heavy cream and everything else from the local dairy farm. I fell in love with the decadent desserts my grandmother would prepare for my many siblings and me: rich and creamy vanilla pudding, lemon meringue pies, blueberry cobbler, spiced pumpkin cookies, peanut butter fudge. You get the idea. So now imagine my young heart breaking upon discovering the painful truth, that I am and will forever be lactose-intolerant.

I'm now booking wedding cakes for June of 2015 (and May, etc) . In this busy time, I know I will be turning down a few or more brides. I don't want to take cakes on a first come first served basis, because I'd rather take 2 cakes of 150-200 servings (per weekend) than 3 or 4 cakes of 100 servings. 4 consultations, 4 deposits/balances, 4 deliveries is just too much for me. I'd like to see my family sometime during the month, amiright?
Am I crazy? I don't want to offend brides, but I want to have a life AND maximize my income when demand is high. Other times of the year I will have a policy of first come first served--minimum of 100 servings. Any suggestions? Maybe I $750 minimum on those busy weeks, (even if they want a smaller cake)?
I can't make every cake. But I put a lot into the baking as well as decorating. Turning down business is something I've had to start doing, now I want to be a bit more strategic. Or is this just too rude to put to brides?
What are your opinions? Any suggestions?
I haven't posted photos here lately, but you can see examples of my work: https://www.facebook.com/AdornCakes
I would say that you could increase your minimum spend. Even if they want a smaller cake, if they know that they have to spend $750, those that really want to, will. I don't think you should tell smaller wedding cake brides that you are booked if you are not - just explain about the minimum order $$.
All this of course if you are absolutely positive that you will still see orders for that amount and above, otherwise if you take none of the $500 - $600 orders you could potentially run the risk of having $0!
I have dealt with this issue in the past. I was doing a ton of weddings, but some of the cakes were little two tiers and because of deliveries and setup timing I had to turn down huge weddings. Totally stunk.
Not a ton you can do to guarantee that someone better won't come along, but I did set a minimum. In some ways it has helped because I can weed out high-maintenence low-pricetag brides, but it still doesn't cure it completely. I am also one of the only ones in the area doing a minimum and it has definitely ticked people off. At wedding shows I have heard brides take a look at my sign (in my portfolio, not front and center), and say "Can you BELIEVE this?!!" and walk away. Even people who will definitely be spending more than my minimum get bucky and don't like being told they have to spend a certain amount. (even though they have minimums for venues and caterers....)
BUT I haven't changed it, because I haven't figured out how to weed them out more efficiently and maintain professionalism. "I'm open on your date but I'm keeping that spot open for someone who wants to spend more than you." doesn't cut it.
The other option is to just ask their guest count and say you're booked if it's below a certain numbers of guests. But if they call an entire year ahead of time, that may ring hollow.
I don't know, just thinking while typing, lol. If anyone has a better solution, I would love to hear it too!!
Well Leta I would say you can afford to be selective those cakes are beautiful. raise your minimum order price, the savvy brides wont let some dollars get in way of a stunning cake x
A prime summer weekend booking date does deserve a "premium", no different than the venue that charges more on Friday night than Wednesday night.
I do think that is "fair" and a reasonable business practice.
AHi there, just wondering if you just do cakes on side or full time?
Yes, this is my business. I have a shop now for about a year and a half, so I have rent and other expenses. This last year was my first full year of figuring out my limits, building word of mouth, advertising, etc. I put a lot into the baking as well as the decorating. I've pulled lots of all nighters, worked many holiday weekends, and I'm trying to find that sweet spot where I have enough work to pay the bills but I'm not killing myself--which I'm more inclined to do than to turn down orders. I want to enjoy my job and my life too. I'm setting aside some weekends for family things. I'll do a huge bridal show in January, and I booked 20+ cakes from that last year. I also just started advertising on the Knot, and I'm getting regular inquiries from that. The last small open house I went to, every other bride had a June or May wedding. So I will be turning down brides for those dates. Economically, I'd rather turn down the $500 order than the $1000. The consultations, the emailing, the deliveries, final payments, getting stands returned, are like a thousand paper cuts, sometimes when I really need to buckle down to the actual cake baking and decorating. I have limited fridge space, and no employees, so scaling up in volume is not really going to be an option.
I really would like to have 2 large cakes on those busy weekends instead of 3 or 4 smaller ones. I spend most of the day delivering, and there are so many final touches needed, it's hard to get it all done.
I appreciate ALL your feedback!
ADid you build clientel starting at home or just straight to bakery?
Is your per serving price already at the top of what your market will tolerate?
If not, consider upping that price a little? Maybe that will weed out some of brides just wanting a small cake due to budget restraints.
Also, the overall price minimum is a great idea, as others suggested.
Or maybe you could do a "serving minimum" that magically matches the lowest price you are looking to book.
i.e. 100 servings x $7.50 (just for ease of math!) = $750.
I looked at your website and the first thing I'd do is eliminate the kitchen cake option. When you do that you're making more work for yourself at a lower profit. If you have to bake a 6-8-10 and a sheet, or a 6-9-12 and no sheet, you've eliminated mixing, baking and decorating time, not to mention boards and effort. If it's a difference between 80 servings at $5 plus 20 at $3, or 100 at $5 with less baking time and materials cost (boards and boxes) it's obvious which one is better.
I'd also raise the price of your cupcakes to at least $3 for plain and $4 to start for decorated ones, since they take as long to decorate as a cake, and they're a pain in the butt to move around for delivery and setup.
I've seen people say that the smallest tiered cake they'll make is XYZ size, so that isn't unheard of. Or put a minimum dollar amount. I do a $200 limit on all tiered cakes and $200 for any 3-D cakes. I'm doing a vodka bottle cake in a couple of weeks for 10 people and they're still paying me $200 because that's my minimum. Generally that would be around 20-24 servings, but for that kind of thing the least of your worries in pricing is the actual amount of cake there is.
Wow! All good points. I can see I came off a bit whiny and it's better to just be professional and get real about pricing instead of baking "resentment" cake.
BeesKnees, I'm pretty comparable and a little above most of the cakes in the market, but there are some who have enough referral business to not advertise, and I'm not sure what they're all charging--a lot of them are the $4-5 range. I will say that the taste and ingredients of my cake are above most other cakers. Only one other baker that I know of offers a meringue buttercream.
I don't like to nickel and dime brides and I'm up front with pricing, etc, and that helps my booking percentage. All your ideas go along with that philosophy, so thanks!
cakeladywalker, I'm going to respond to that, but I've got to get a couple cakes ready to deliver tomorrow : )
AJust for the record I don't think you sounded whiny at all. Better to try and set yourself (and your customers) some ground rules now than wait and THEN be resentful of not being able to say no to people!

The Standedge Tunnel Experience
No, not this Standedge Tunnel Experience, but our very own experience of the 'longest, highest and deepest' canal tunnel in Britain, when we went through on August 16th in Andante.
Someone asked me 'was it worth it?' - to which the answer has to be yes, as it costs nothing (if you are a long term licence holder), and it's got to be worth the time and trouble if it means you end up where you want to be. It is, of course, an experience not to be missed: the preparation, the excitement, the sense of achievement, the awe and wonder at the building of it, and even greater awe and wonder at its restoration.
The tunnel itself? It's a very long tunnel, and you go through it very, very slowly. (Three and a quarter miles in two and a half hours.) You can note that some sections are brick lined, some sprayed with concrete, and some (the best bits) bare, red, stone. You can see the drill marks where the blasting powder was inserted, and count off the leggers' plates on the roof to see how far you've gone and how far you still have to go. You can (upon donning a hard hat) sit outside at either end of the passenger module, which is a better way of seeing things when the windows get steamed up.
Because it is such a feat of engineering and restoration, and so many people are going to so much trouble to get you through, you feel as if you ought to find every single yard of it fascinating, and it can't help but fail to live up to that. Much of it is not fascinating, just tunnel. Number One Son has always had a low boredom threshold, and he was catatonic by the time we emerged.
And because you're never alone, and to a degree isolated in the passenger module, it's harder (at least it was for me) to really feel the excitement, awe and magic; I felt that much more in the Harecastle Tunnel, where, when steering your own boat and especially if leading, as we were, your relationship with the tunnel is much more direct, and your ability to see it as it was is much greater.
None of this is to say though that the Standedge Tunnel is not worth navigating; it is, it is, it is. The effort that's gone and continues to go into it should be rewarded with use and appreciation. If it's not used, the temptation will surely be, come the next round of budget cuts, to abandon it again. It is interesting, notwithstanding everything I said before. I would do it again, given the chance. And it is, of course, an integral part of navigating the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, which is most definitely, in my humble opinion, worth doing.

Step Four: Searching Out & Selecting Materials
Commissioning Janine Stone & Co.
"As far as finding the best possible materials for a project is concerned, the world is our oyster. All that is needed is an intimate knowledge of where to look and the determination to find them."
In this series of posts we take a look at the steps involved in commissioning Janine Stone & Co. as your architect, interior designer and/or build project manager. These steps are a guideline to the process that our clients experience when working with us.
Step Four: Searching Out & Selecting Materials
The months of discussion and development are over. You've decided on the direction and scope of work. Budgets planned, and the designs agreed. It's now time to journey to the interior. Whilst the team in the studio are busy converting perspective illustrations and CGIs into precise technical drawings, this is when Janine and the lead designers start searching out the materials in earnest. Typically, we will voyage across Europe, America and beyond; perhaps in a search for a distinctive extract of marble, style of woodcarving or sculpture. Sometimes clients join us on our travels. It's about much more than taking a pleasant trip abroad, it's about discovering an Aladdin's' cave of ideas and inspiration. For clients it's about experiencing the project from another perspective, that adds a very special quality to the finished result.

Swinburne Maddison LLP, together with Ryecroft Glenton Corporate Finance, has advised on the acquisition of growing London-based staffing business, Amanda Smith Recruitment Ltd, by Berry Recruitment Group.
St Albans-based Berry Recruitment Group has acquired 100 percent of the shares in Amanda Smith Recruitment Ltd; a company set up by Managing Director Amanda Chaffey in 2004.
The business, which operates out of offices in Holborn, Central London, has been acquired as part of Berry Recruitment Group's strategic growth plan expanding its existing 30-strong branch network throughout the UK.
With a turnover predicted to be in the region of £65m this year, Berry Recruitment Group is a multi-disciplinary staffing company providing personnel for roles across the office support, industrial, technical, driving, construction, rail, catering and care sectors.
Having made a number of strategic acquisitions in recent years, including Wild Recruitment and The Plus Team, the company was keen to add a London-based white collar recruitment business to its portfolio.
Amanda Smith Recruitment Ltd is a specialist office support staffing business and has seen significant turnover growth over the past six years. It was advised by a team led by Ryecroft Glenton Corporate Finance partner, Carl Swansbury, supported by colleagues Alex Simpson, Peter Glenton and Charlie Burton.
Legal advisor to the sellers on the deal was Swinburne Maddison LLP. Led by partner Martyn Tennant, with support from Mike Ward and David Low, Swinburne Maddison LLP advised on all corporate aspects of the transaction and ancillary property and employment law issues.
Amanda Chaffey, Managing Director of Amanda Smith Recruitment Ltd said: "There are strong synergies between the two businesses and we are delighted to be joining the Berry family. We have established a strong management team supported by excellent staff that has helped drive the business forward and will be a valuable asset to Berry Recruitment Ltd."
Tony Berry, founder and Chairman of Berry Recruitment, said: "Amanda Smith Recruitment Ltd has, over recent years, built a fantastic reputation within office recruitment, which has paved the way for this acquisition. The business complements our existing portfolio while consolidating our central London presence and supporting our national growth plans."

Barbara Custom Motorcycles Visualizes Your Bike's Potential
Thinking about rebuilding or modifying your motorcycle? You may want to contact Barbara Custom Motorcycles first. French Designer Benoit, based in Paris, developed Barbara Custom Motorcycles as a service for people looking to build their dream motorcycles. Before Barbara, customers had to rely on a builder's interpretation of their vision. Sometimes visions and reality match up nicely, but when they don't, it means a loss of time, money, and enthusiasm.
Benoit uses Photoshop to create a virtual image of what you want your bike to become. In doing so, Benoit can make changes to your bike without accruing any materials or time from the builder—changes like new paint, different frame, other wheels, and just about anything you can imagine. When you reach a point where Benoit's design reflects what you want built, you can then take that to your garage and get the work underway. The result is that you end up with what you wanted, without any loss of man hours or materials.
Even if you're not looking to build a bike, Benoit's concept bikes are incredible and creative. Some of the designs will leave you scratching your head wondering how such ideas could possibly be made, all the while hoping that an adventurous builder will take on the challenge. Other bikes look like actual builds that you'd love to get your hands on, at least for an afternoon around the track.
Regardless of your tastes, you can't help but appreciate the talent that goes into Barbara Custom Motorcycles.

Hi Peeps, I just flew into my other 'TOWN' this evening.. It's so nice to see you.. LONDON...!!! Whooo! Hoooo!
Gosh! This town is beautiful. Anyway, guess who I spotted on the same flight as me?
TY Bello and her gorgeous massive hair!
At departure, a Nigerian Customs Officer didn't know who she was but he was intrigued by her hair...He just kept staring at her and then when it became toooo ridiculously obvious that his eyes were fixed on her he said "I like your hair, is it natural? Are you an artist?" TY smiled graciously and answered...
After we landed in London, we talked for a bit and we both got excited when we briefly discussed fashion, styling and photography. I asked her about the 'rumour' that she didn't like to be described as a singer and I can categorically tell you..it is not true..!!!! She doesn't have a problem with it at all..Honestly, the girl has no 'drama' around her and her feet are firmly on the ground...
I super LIKE her actually..she just seems like a really nice girl. In fact I'm thinking a photo shoot and interview with her will be well in order..Hmmm..Even more interesting, I'm planning a photo shoot with a really interesting personality and ..TY BELLO might just be the photographer we need...Now I'm getting toooo excited...Whoooo! Hoooooo!
Here's TY's New Song..THE FUTURE...What do you think?

Many people are of the belief that Beetroot is good for the blood. This is not correct. Of course beetroot is good for you it is not high in iron so it will not help prevent anaemia, which many believe it will do. Beetroot's main benefits are that it contains no fat, very few calories and is a great source of fibre.Beetroot has for many years been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe. Specific anti-carcinogens are bound to the red colouring matter which supposedly helps fight against cancer and beetroot also increases the uptake of oxygen by as much as 400 percent. Additional studies are taking place to add support to these claims. The green leafy part of the beetroot is also of nutritional value containing beta-carotene and other carotenoids,( Carotenoid refers to plant pigments - of which there is a family of about 600 different types. These all function as antioxidants. The yellow, orange, and many of the red pigments in fruits, vegetables, and plant materials are usually carotenoids.) This part of the beet also contains lots of folate, iron, potassium and some vitamin C. The roots and greens therefore are great for women in general and for those planning pregnancy. Try eating the leaves and stalk boiled or steam and accompany with other more flavorsome vegies like onions and garlic. Or chop finely and add to quiches or stir-fries.
Fresh beetrootBeetroot can be eaten raw. You just need to peel it and it's ready to use. Beetroot can add a refreshing touch to a salad, a sandwich (try it with cheese!) or as an accompaniment to other vegies...

Somehow I have come to call Anna, Banana. Not, Anna Banana, but just Banana. I was never really into the whole "Anna Banana" thing, which is why she was a chili pepper for Halloween as opposed to a banana, but now I just call her Banana. I digress.
Anyway, Banana has started eating "Biter Biscuits" and as you can see below, she loves them. Enjoy!
