Lummis' bid for Interior chief gains steam
When former Wyoming Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R) retired from Congress, she said only one job offer could have kept her in the nation's capital: Interior secretary. Now she might get her wish.
President Trump passed over Lummis in 2017 to nominate her former colleague, then-Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke (R), but with the post once again vacant, the 64-year-old Wyomingite is back on the short list to head the Interior Department.
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (R) is helping promote Lummis' candidacy, and White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, a former South Carolina congressman, is "a big fan, too," one former Interior official said today, speaking on condition of anonymity.
By late yesterday, one Interior official was confiding the unconfirmed account that "word is, it's Lummis," according to a source.
Senate Environment and Public Works Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) praised Lummis as a "terrific" choice to lead Interior. "She knows the issues. She's very knowledgeable," Barrasso told E&E News today. "Certainly, we could get her confirmed to be the secretary of the Interior. I'd encourage the president to appoint her."
Barrasso added, "I don't know the status of the president's decision on this, but I'm fully supportive of her. It'd be good to have a full Cabinet in place and confirmed, and I'd like to see her be secretary of Interior."
Lummis, a former Wyoming cattle rancher, told The Hill in December that she was interested in succeeding Zinke, who stepped down in January amid a series of inquiries into whether he misused the office (Greenwire, Jan. 4). "Yes, it is a position I'm interested in," Lummis said.
Other candidates for the Interior secretary slot include current acting Secretary David Bernhardt, who is widely perceived as the front-runner for the nomination, as well as Utah Rep. Rob Bishop, the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee (Greenwire, Jan. 30).
Lummis, who assisted with the Trump administration's transition and was considered for the Interior post in early 2017, returned to the White House this month for new interviews, Bloomberg reported today.
Wyoming Republican Party Chairman Frank Eathorne told E&E News this week that he was "very excited" to hear Lummis listed among the top contenders for Interior.
"I think she would be most excellent in that position," Eathorne said. "She is a Wyoming native, has the experiences of a congresswoman, an agriculture background, a former legislator; she knows Wyoming and understands the issues of Western states."
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who served with Lummis in the House, said recently that she would be his "really favorite candidate" for Interior secretary. He called her "so smart" and said she not only "understands Western and land issues, but also loves the West."
"I always told her, 'You're my normal barometer,' and she said, 'No one has accused me of that.' She is a pragmatic person. She pushes the envelope to the very edge but then takes the victory at the appropriate time. She knew when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em," said Cramer, a Senate EPW member who talks regularly to Trump.
The senator is personally close to Lummis and was as well to her late husband, Alvin Wiederspahn, a utilities regulatory lawyer. Cramer said she left Congress in part because of Wiederspahn's ailing health, but Cramer is hopeful that enough time has passed since his 2014 death that she might be willing to return to public service.
Following her failure to nab the nomination in 2017, Lummis told E&E News that she had not pursued any other posts in the Trump administration, acknowledging she was "profoundly disappointed" that she was not selected to lead Interior. "That was the one job that I was so interested in that I would have been willing to stay in Washington for, but that was really the only one," she said (E&E Daily, Feb. 2, 2017).
She described a meeting with Trump himself as "intense" during the last interview process (E&E News PM, Dec. 8, 2016).
Lummis subsequently opted out of the 2018 gubernatorial contest to replace term-limited Gov. Matt Mead (R) (E&E News PM, Sept. 21, 2017).
"I haven't ruled out running for governor, but I did not come home to run for governor," Lummis told E&E News several months before she decided against another bid for office. "I came home because it was time."
But Lummis could still make another bid for elected office. She is widely considered a candidate to succeed Republican Sen. Mike Enzi, if the 74-year-old lawmaker opts against re-election in 2020.
"I wouldn't want to pretend to be her adviser, but I would say she is so well-liked and so respected among all Wyomingites, and the Republican Party is so proud of her that we would love to see her serve in any capacity she is interested in," Eathorne said.
Past and priorities
Lummis, who served four terms as the state's at-large representative before retiring after the 2016 election, told The Hill in December she would like to focus on forest management and wildfire controls if nominated.
"I have always prioritized natural resources policy," she said. "Much more needs to be done to enhance the ability of the land to resist and fight catastrophic wildfire."
She told E&E News in late 2016 that she would also like to encourage cooperation between the U.S. Border Patrol and federal land management agencies if she were tapped for the Interior office.
In addition, Lummis has said she would focus on access to public lands for hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts by encouraging land exchanges of federal and private parcels.
"When there are lands that the federal government itself believes it cannot manage or that do not match the goals of federal land ownership, they should be allowed to sell them," Lummis told E&E News in late 2016. "So for those parcels — those few parcels, comparatively — I think they should be allowed to sell them. However, I think the better approach is land exchanges."
Lummis, who was raised on a cattle ranch in Laramie County, Wyo., and earned her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Wyoming, began her political career in the state Legislature, winning election to the state House in 1978.
She went on to serve in the state Senate and in 1998 won the first of two terms as state treasurer. Lummis campaigned in 2008 to succeed retiring Rep. Barbara Cubin (R) and won.
During her four terms in the House, Lummis served as a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus and earned a reputation as a fierce opponent of the Obama administration's environmental regulations.
But Lummis at times also sparred with her own party leadership.
Republican leaders removed Lummis from the powerful Appropriations Committee in the 113th Congress, shifting her to the House Natural Resources panel.
"You don't climb the ladder in that [Appropriations] committee without subscribing to their rules," former Lummis aide Pete Obermueller told the Casper Star-Tribune in 2017. Obermueller, now president of the Petroleum Association of Wyoming, did not return a request for comment for this article.
During her tenure on Capitol Hill, Lummis also ranked among the wealthiest members of Congress, thanks to her ownership of three Cheyenne, Wyo.-based cattle ranches.

Louis Futon has been doing something extremely cool. The producer's been asking fans to suggest songs for his "beat challenge," and working the best suggestions into a full-length remix that's all his own. The result? A pair of fantastic takes on the year's hottest songs. Don't believe us? Check out his flip of Frank Ocean's Solo:
The tracks themselves have generated a fair amount of buzz, but he's also captured the attention of hundreds of ambitious producers by documenting his beat-making process.
Watch him break down the creation of his Frank Ocean flip here:
Yesterday I asked you guys again what song I should sample to make a beat with, here is the result ? cc: Frank Ocean pic.twitter.com/FFgnu2jq7z
— Louis Futon (@louisfutonbeats) May 9, 2017
Obviously, the dude's got chops – but what's more impressive is that he's doing it all while on tour. He'll be playing in West Hollywood on the 19th, then coming up to Seattle to play at The Crocodile on the 26th. Bellingham local Metsa is opening up for him, and there's no doubt the young producer's own euphoric, vocal chop-laden rhythms will complement Louis' style. Right now, tickets are $19.45 ($26.47 CAD) after fees.
If you're a fan, we couldn't recommend going enough. Until then, here's one of his latest tracks to hold you over.
Will you be making an appearance at the show? What's your favorite Louis Futon track? Let us know in the comments below.

mtb1002 replied to a topic in Hurricanes TalkI agree! Cole was great. I saw on Yahoo! sports they're actually crediting Cole with the game-winning goal, with Staal on the assist. In my opinion he deserved the first star regardless.

Hurricanes Announce Exhibition Schedule
mtb1002 replied to caniac-97's topic in Hurricanes TalkMy quess that it will be first come first serve. I'm wondering if there will be an autograph session like they had last year. That was a nice touch to get the players signature. Guess as time gets closer more details will be provided...... Curious on the pricing of the new jerseys, also if they will have used equipment for sell. TWO MONTHS mmmmm LETS GO CANES!!!!!!!!!! The new jerseys aren't gonna be cheap. This is from the article in the N&O today: "The jerseys also will be on sale that day as part of the annual "Caniac Carnival" fan festivities. The prototypes used at this past winter's All-Star Game retail for $350, with replica models going for $110."
It's so hard to believe that was exactly one year ago. I was at home in front of the tv, just pacing back and forth. I was too nervous and nauseous to sit down. My sister called me when there was about 5 minutes left and she stayed on the phone with me until it was over. Finally I collapsed on the floor, relieved, and sat there and watched the coverage for the rest of the night on the local news and News 14 Carolina. Best night ever.
who can explain +/- to me?
mtb1002 replied to kingofminneapolis's topic in Off TopicThanks for that explanation. I always wondered that myself.
Mary, I'm curious. What time did you usually arrive? I thought parking (getting in specifically) a pain most of the year. On sell out nights, things would usually just fall apart. Quite a few times, it took me almost an hour to get to my seat from the time that I got off of the freeway. I could tell you stories but what's the point? Needless to say, I tried to arrive an hour early to avoid the frustration of parking (how many times would the parkers not let me in the lot I wanted to go to just to let cars 3 behind me park there .... or LETTING me into a lot and having NO spaces) that seemed to work. If I had to arrive at 6:30 it was usually pretty bad. I was going to upgrade to Premier this year hoping to avoid the problems but in reading th eposts on thes subject, I think that I'll pass on that. cheap If a game started at 7, we would try to get there between 6:15 and 6:30 because I like to go watch the practices. We come in from Wade Ave and then take the Edwards Mill exit and go in the first entrance. We don't ever try to get in a specific lot... but I've found that if you get in one of the far 2 left turning lanes from Edwards Mill you tend to get to park faster. That definitely worked for us for the sell-out Sharks game, even with all the tailgaters, and also the final game.
Hmm... well then is it worth just paying $8 to park each night? Because I went to about 10 home games last year and never had an issue leaving the arena. We always got out pretty quick.

Saw this article on NPR this morning about a woman tracking down and baking a cake from the famous Brooklyn institution of baked goods, Ebinger's. The article made it sound like it was the most complicated cake in the woooooorld! But, um, any other fellow bakers here look at this recipe and think, "Nope, really pretty standard from-scratch cake recipe..." (especially the kinds that use cocoa and real chocolate)?
At any rate, if anyone is in a chocolate cake mood this weekend, I shared the recipe below!
Ebinger's Blackout Cake
Serves 10 to 12
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 tablespoons boiling water
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup milk
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened slightly
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, separated
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 3/4 teaspoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Butter and lightly flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. Make the cake: Place the cocoa in a small bowl and whisk in the boiling water to form a paste.
3. Combine the chopped chocolate and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate melts — about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Whisk a small amount of the hot chocolate milk into the cocoa paste to warm it. Whisk the cocoa mixture into the milk mixture. Return the pan to medium heat and stir for 1 minute. Remove and set aside to cool until tepid.
4. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, and the vanilla. Slowly stir in the chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, slowly add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture. Fold in until just mixed.
5. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
6. Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on racks for 15 minutes. Gently remove the cakes from the pans and continue to cool.
7. While the cake is baking, make the filling: Combine the cocoa and boiling water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the sugar and chocolate. Add the dissolved cornstarch paste and salt to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and butter. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until cool.
8. Make the frosting: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot, not simmering, water, stirring until smooth. Remove the top of the double boiler from the heat and whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time. Return the top to the heat, if necessary, to melt the butter.
9. Whisk in the hot water all at once and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the corn syrup and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for up to 15 minutes before using.
10. Assemble the cake: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice each cake layer horizontally in half to form four layers. Set one layer aside. Place one layer on a cake round or plate. Generously swath the layer with one-third of the filling. Add the second layer and repeat. Set the third layer on top. Quickly apply a layer of frosting to the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
11. Meanwhile, crumble the remaining cake layer. Apply the remaining frosting to the cake. Sprinkle it liberally with the cake crumbs. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Pixi just came through and sent over almost every kind of mask there is.
First up is the Peel & Polish ($24), a fruity exfoliator treatment that can be used 2 to 3 times a week. It's easy to put on – apply the product and wash it off after 2 minutes. The result is baby smooth skin, that isn't dry or flaky. Scrubs are not a favorite but this feels gentle enough for my skin.
An exfoliator making a comeback in my routine is the Glow Mud Mask ($22). This is their signature 15-minute facial, boasting cleansing and purifying effects. When using it, my skin does feel as if all of the dirt and grime from the past day had been washed right off. It just works so well with my #oilyskin and detoxifies and exfoliates my skin thoroughly.
The T-Zone Peel-Off Mask ($22) purifies pores with avocado and green tea. This peel-off mask almost like a pore strip but gentler. However, this is not my preferred way of cleansing my pores.
To nourish the skin, there's GLOW Glycolic Boost ($10) sheetmask. Glow is an appropriate name for this product since it does exactly that to my face. My skin doesn't only feel hydrated afterward but has a supple texture, both of which lend to my face looking more youthful. Because of that, this mask is perfect for winding down after a long day.
A favorite out of the bunch is the DetoxifEYE ($24) to depuff, nourish, and revive the under eyes with hyaluronic acid, caffeine, cucumber, and gold.
I have been using this eye mask almost every night since I got it because it just treats my dry under eyes so good. It hydrates and nourishes my eye area, making my face look healthier and more awake in the mornings.
All in all, Pixi's exfoliating and nourishing masks are a great fit for many of us who want extra care in my skincare. For oily skin, you can't go wrong with the Glow Mud Mask and those who have dry under eyes would have a field day with DetoxifEYE.

[QUOTE=highwhey]i know a lot of mexicans were born/created out of spaniards raping natives, but my dad recently told me all of his family are actually spanish immigrants. my great grandfather and his wife immigrated and the family line since them are all spanish. makes sense, my dad is whiter than most americans.
also, my great grandfather fought against the famous general pancho villa, they had several different battles, he lost several of their first encounters but ended up winning a later battle that diminished pancho's forces down significantly. but according to my dad, the worst enemies my great grandfather ever faced were the local natives. he said they were absolute savages and they would come at night to fck shit up, steal livestock and kill people. even though the natives were on horseback, they moved silently in the desert. the mexican armies would get ambushed often and you'd only know it was the natives when you heard the arrows being shot at you.
anyways, i gotta visit spain now. i always assumed i was just the byproduct of rape lol.[/QUOTE]
The vast majority of Mexicans have Spanish ancestors...it's like being American and finding out you have English or Scots Irish ancestors.

What gives an airport personality? What sorts of items there can immediately connect an arriving traveler with the town or city?
I'm going to start a series of occasional blog posts on the topic, and the first icon I want to feature is the statue of Pittsburgh's Immaculate Reception football moment, as you arrive at PIT – the Pittsburgh International Airport – and head down the escalators to catch the train for baggage claim and the pickup area.
Not a fan of American pro football? Here's a quick explainer….
During a playoff game in December 1972, when the Pittsburgh Steelers team was playing (and losing to) the Oakland Raiders, a pass thrown by Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw missed its mark, bounced off of a player, and was scooped up by Steelers running back Franco Harris before it hit the ground.
Harris then tucked the ball under his arm and ran in for a game-winning Steelers touchdown, kicking off years of Steelers domination of pro football; Harris played for the team almost his entire career.
The statue is away from the airport right now, being refurbished at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh's Strip District. It is scheduled to be reinstalled in summer 2019 (Update – Harris and Washington are now refurbished and back at the airport) along with a nearby George Washington statue that depicts the future President when he served in this part of western Pennsylvania during the French & Indian War.
Here is what the Harris statue looked like….
There is a fun photo of the real Franco Harris next to his airport statue in this Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article about the statue removal/refurbishment.
Here is a great NFL (National Football League) video that explains why Pittsburgh's Immaculate Reception was such a big deal for both the Steelers and the city….
I'm spoiled by all of the unique things at my local Austin airport, but this series gives me a reason to start really paying attention to finding standout items as I change planes or explore during business travel.
Did I miss anything else interesting at the Pittsburgh airport? Let us know down in the comments!

The above is what the Negro says when it comes down to the status of victimhood, he will refuse to relinquish that title, the only time that you will be able to pry the status of victimhood from his hands is when he is dead. I was just reflecting on the events that took place in Mckinney, Texas involving a group of black youth and the police. I'm sure that you all are aware of what took place, of course the liberal media is race baiting as per usual, nothing changes there. However, what disgusts me more than anything else is the lack of responsibility on the part of black folks in general.
Is it always a case of racism when you are involved in encounters with the police and white folks? Do you never engage in wrong doing at all? This seems to be the convenient pattern when dealing with black people. Of course many black people predominantly American blacks are jumping to wild conclusions based upon the video clip that is doing the rounds, however as per usual most black folks have failed to do their behind the scenes research to find out what lead up to the police being called and the confrontation thereafter. Here is the video for those who may not have seen it:
Here is the full story for those who still have the ability to think and reason for themselves. Those black youth in the video roamed into a neighbourhood that they did not belong to and decided to take it upon themselves to use the community's swimming pool facilities without granted permission. They then commenced to blast out music and start their own party(yes, in a neighbourhood that they do not live in). When they were confronted by security and asked to leave, typically as black Americans do they became irate and unsettled, thus the police had to be called to bring the situation under control.
In the meantime a white woman from the neighbourhood got involved in a fight with one of the black females in the group. It was claimed that the fight began when the white woman told the group to return back to their section 8 housing. The police arrive on the scene and some of these blacks in the group decided to take it upon themselves to run, which is why you saw police running at the beginning of the footage. The video above picks up from that point.
The two parts of the video that are causing the most controversy are the parts where the young black girl is apprehended and placed on the ground by one of the police officers, also where that same police officer pulls out his gun on the two young black boys who were dancing around him in protest at the way he was dealing with the same black girl. Another issue that has been raised is the fact that all of the people that were accosted were black folks.
This event is a classic example of why nobody takes black people seriously, especially American blacks. There is a certain cadre of blacks particularly single mother raised black folks who seem to believe that they can do what they want and that other folks must simply accept it. You went into a neighbourhood that you did not belong to and you decided to use their swimming pool facilities, what kind of stupid and irresponsible behaviour is that? Oh, I forgot to mention that the group climbed over a fence to get to the pool, even more evidence that clearly illustrates that this youths were out of place.
This is the equivalent of me roaming into a strange neighbourhood, climbing over a fence into somebody's back yard, setting up a BBQ and then becoming agitated and upset when the owner of the house asks me to leave his/her garden. Do you see the absurdity in this? This is exactly what happened in Mckinney, Texas, black youths invaded somebody else's property and then became disgruntled and emotional when they were asked to leave.
On top of this you have the young 14 year old black girl who was arrested, when you examine the video she was continually asked to leave the scene and in typical western black woman fashion she decided that it would be better to stand there and run her mouth off to the police, this is your common garden variety western black female in 2015. Then when she is finally apprehended for being a smart mouth and refusing to leave the immediate scene, she has the audacity to complain and act as if she is innocent.
Then we have the situation where during this apprehension two black boys decided to run up on the police officer who was dealing with the black girl, they then proceed to dance around the officer and move about in a shifty and threatening fashion as if they are going to attack him. It was then he pulled his gun out on them and they decided to take off and run. If that police officer had shot them both, he would have fully been within his rights to do so, I would not have felt sorry for those young boys at all. You run up on a police officer who is trying to deal with a situation and you start jumping around him like wild savages displaying threatening behaviour, expect a bullet in your behind.
Don't take my word for it, look at the video footage again for yourselves and see how they run up on the police officer, in fact the black boy on the left in pulling up his sagging shorts looks like he is reaching for something from his back, it is no wonder that the policeman pulled out his gun on them. Had these young black boys been shot, the "black lives matter" crew and the pro blacks would have rolled in with 21 cannons blazing talking about no justice, no peace and police brutality against black people. Its funny though that these same merchants are nowhere to be found when black folks injure and kill other black folks.
I have to give black folks over here in the UK at least some credit because in general we recognise that there is an issue with black on black violence in the black community, for the most part we do not attempt to dismiss it by pointing the finger at other races and the crimes that take place within their circles when the issue of black on black violence is raised.
Mckinney, Texas is yet another illustration of blacks behaving irresponsibly. If "black lives matter" then where were the black parents when this showdown kicked off? I noticed white parents were present when the police arrived but no black parents, what, were they not available? Also, the black girl who was placed on the ground by the police officer referenced her mother but not her father, this clearly illustrates that she is being raised in a single parent household, having seen her mother run her mouth and act the fool, she now believes that she can do the same.
Black single mothers on the whole are the bane of the black community, it doesn't matter where you travel to in the world, where black women are raising children by themselves there is a higher level of crime and violence, this is no doubt the case in the UK and most definitely in the US. There are certain fellows within the black community who purposely wait in the wings for any situation between black folks and white folks to come up just so they can scream "racism".
Sorry Negro, I cannot side with you on this issue because you brought this whole situation upon yourselves. The moral of the story here is do not venture into places where you are not invited. I am not a victim, I do not hold onto the victimhood title like many of you black folks do, I will call out and declare the truth without bias or involving emotions, even if the truth shows me to be in the wrong. Well to do, intelligent, progressive, responsible, accountable black folks would do well to separate yourselves from the victimhood status, woe is me Negro.
It is a pity that for most blacks because we are such a stubborn people the only form of reprimand that we can understand is the rod of correction, in other words we have to feel before we can learn instead of learning first in order to avoid the pain.
As for white folks, I do not feel sorry for you in the slightest either because this is the beast that you have created. You believed that it was a smart move to destroy the black family via feminism and your welfare programs and policies, however now your chickens are coming home to roost, these dysfunctional blacks born out of your diabolical schemes of trickery and destruction are now finding their way into YOUR neighbourhoods. Don't blame us for the fact that it is your white liberal brethren who are facilitating and sponsoring this continued terror via black single mothers. This is your recompense, I hope you enjoy drinking down your judgement.

Just one of those nights where we were craving some oriental cuisine. With one small problem, we weren't sure which specific oriental cuisine we wanted. Japanese sushi? Thai salads? Korean bulgogi? Not sure… we were just craving some umami.
That is when we chanced upon Nom Nom. Located in Pali Hill in Bandra, Bombay, we walked driven by our rule to always try something new and with zero expectations.
Our first impression was westernised modern comfort meets Japanese simplicity. A combination of textured materials with the granite & wooden tables but the bold colour scheme with the teal seating. Low lit lighting focused over each table left an illusion of the food being the star of the show.
Opening the menu put a smile on our faces. We weren't sure what regional cuisine we wanted. Well Nom Nom had elements of each region on the menu! Sushi, Baos, Dimsum, Masaman, Papaya salad, Japan, Singapore, Korea, woohoo!
A lot of elements on the menu left us excited but a bit skeptical, so we decided to try a bit of everything.
1. Spicy crab meat soup: Umamiii! A beautiful blend of the sweet crab meat, earthy shiitake mushrooms with the neutral comforts of egg whites. A refreshing aftertaste of cilantro and citrus. This soup hit the spot instantly!
2. Crystal Lamb dimsum with chilli basil: The star of this dish was the crystal wrapping. As thin and translucent to a point of almost being transparent! I'm still amazed as to how they managed to pack a dense meat like lamb into something so delicate. The filling however, with the lamb and the basil, was a bit too intense after the delicate soup for my taste. However, it went over well with my partner, A.
3. Dynamite Prawns: If this dish was a human being, i'd marry it! If you love wasabi(like we do), you will love this dish!! Crispy fried prawns wok tossed with wasabi sauce. Crunchy coating, sweet fresh prawns and the absolute punch in the face with the wasabi sauce! Uff!
4. Singaporean glass noodle salad with prawns: We decided to stray a bit from protocol and have our salad last. And we're glad we did. Fresh with the crunch of the celery leaves, a zing from the lemon citrus, the sweetness of I'm guessing brown sugar? And fresh prawns with the final subtle kick of chilli. Extremely fresh with just enough sweetness to keep us away from the desserts (for now, we'll be back!)
A bit pricey for a regular Tuesday night but definitely worth a visit to treat yourself!
It seems like, more often than not, a lack of a plan is the best plan!💗

AffiliateU from Tim Schmidt is a great course on how to earn money through affiliate marketing. As an affiliate who's earning more than $20,000 USD per month, I can confidently say that AffiliateU was worth my money.
But my review of AffiliateU will be unlike any that you'll read online. I don't want to "sell" you this product. I simply hope to help you answer a question:
Is Affiliate University worth YOUR money?
$1500 is not cheap. When there are info-products and video courses selling for $19, is it worth spending that much money on a product?
For some people, the answer will be YES. I'm in that group. For some people, the answer will be NO. If that's the case, I'll have some alternative recommendations at the end of my review.
Because there is so much content within the members area of Tim Schmidt's Affiliate University, this page will be pretty extensive. I've included a table of contents to help you navigate. Each link will fast forward to a section of the review. If I left anything out, please let me know.
Also, there are some parts of the membership which I haven't reviewed yet. Honestly, there's a lot of info to dig through, but I wanted to get the basic stuff up first, and I'll add/change things as I complete the course.

This course will teach you how to get traffic to a WordPress website and promote affiliate offers to make money online.
It covers a range of topics that will help you accomplish this task, including:
- niche (topic) choice
- domain buying and website building
- plugin instalalltion
- basic and advanced search engine optimization (SEO)
- social media marketing
- link building
- picking affiliate offers
- working with affiliate programs and managers
- traffic generation tactics
- competition analysis
- visitor engagement
There are many subtopics covered within those broader ideas, but that pretty much covers it. You'll learn everything you need to know to build successful affiliate marketing business.
After listening to Tim's lessons for the past 12 hours, I have no doubt that he is very successful at what he does, and sincerely wants to help you repeat his success.
What's My Favorite Part Of AffiliateU?
Honestly, my favorite part of this course was the over the shoulder examples and competition analysis portion of the lessons.
I have reviewed over 200 products on how to make money online on my website. The vast majority of them rarely give a single example of successful websites doing what they are teaching.
Tim goes through many (at least 5-10) different examples of websites he's personally built and websites he discovers during research that are doing things right.
What's more, he also shows where these same websites are doing things wrong. This is a great learning tool for newbies trying to make money online.
Personal Nuggets
What's a "nugget"? In the very first lesson of AffiliateU Tim mentioned that even experienced online marketers should watch all the lessons because you never know what small nuggets of information you could find in the lessons.
No one is perfect, and you can always learn something from peers and mentors.
Well, he was right.
Even with my 7 years experience with online marketing, I was able to learn quite a bit, and even rethink some of my current online marketing methods. I don't want to give away all the goodies (you'll need to pay for access to the course), but just to give you some insight into my personal experience, here's some interesting things I picked up:
- interact with little guys in your niche to grow brand in the beginning
- communicate with affiliate managers for brand new product releases so you can be the first to review them
- browse twitter for trending topics to write about
- look for weaker sites ranking on page 1 because that means YOU can rank there too
Other tidbits newbies will be happy to hear are:
- you don't always have to make money from products you review (you can funnel traffic to an email list, CPA offer, or other review)
- don't need to be an SEO expert to rank. Good content will get traffic
Those are, of course very generalized tips, but the actual meat of the course won't make sense out of context. You need to dig into the real lessons and start taking action to reap the real benefit of AffiliateU.

So with that in mind, here's my breakdown of what I personally liked about this course, and what I think they could do differently.
The Best Parts of AffiliateU
It's Updated And Active
Is it ridiculous to say that one of the best parts of the Affiliate University program is that it's up to date and active? No.
In the internet marketing and "make money online" industry, there are a lot of fake gurus out there that simply recycle and rehash the same trash over and over again. They sell you a $9 PDF guide, then con you into a $10,000 mentorship and leave you in the dust.
I can see the most recent webinar was from June (2 months ago). The most recent blog post was from this month (a success story). The Facebook group is active with questions and positivity as of this week means a lot in this industry. I was even able to get in contact with the owner himself via email and Facebook messenger.
All these things mean a lot in the MMO industry. It shows a huge commitment on the owners part to make sure his course is worth the money. Sweet!
The Videos are Fun And Honest
Tim's speaking style is casual, but informative. It's clear that there is a end-goal during the lessons, but some parts are natural and off-the-cuff. In one video, a his kid comes barging in talking about the dogs. LOL. Yes, Tim really does work from home.
The lessons include face-to-face time as well as over-the-shoulder action. We get to see the steps in real time, but also see that we're talking to a real human.
The Tactics Really Work
Although I don't agree with everything in the lessons as far as SEO and site building goes, Tim makes it clear that some people will disagree with him on specific tactics. That's OK! Everyone has their own style.
But the vast majority of what's in the lessons is pretty much how I build my sites too. I know for a fact that it works for me, so I can vouch for AffiliateU's lessons! (I'll discuss below specifically what I disagree with).
Personal Support In An Active Community
Directly after signing into the members area, I was provided a big, bold link to the Facebook group. Awesome! The #1 thing I look for in any product I buy is what type of support they offer. I don't care how smart you are, building a business is hard, and you are going to have questions along the way.
Within two hours of being introduced by Tim, here's what I saw in my Facebook notifications:
10 people welcoming me with a note, and 61 people saw the post. That means in the past two hours, there have been 61 people thinking about building their business. An active, supportive community is a HUGE bonus to be included with your membership.
If you are a newbie, you'll be able to ask any question you want here. If you're a pro, you'll be able to exchange ideas to grow your business. Here's just one interesting question I saw posted within the past few days.
I have more to say about the Facebook group below, so keep reading.

What AffiliateU Could Do Better
I liked most of what I saw and watched inside the members area. However, no product is perfect. Here's what I think AffiliateU could improve, or what I would do differently with my own websites.
WordPress Building For Newbies Is Tough
If you are a complete, brand new, never built a website before NEWBIE, then I think you'll struggle a bit with the beginner content. Building a WordPress website is easy…after you've built a few of them.
The first time around, you may break down in tears (that's OK, it's happened many times during my online marketing career).
I think the beginner training could be expanded a lot more to show the exact process of how to build a WordPress website on a specific host, and have a dedicated portion to helping people get through this process.
I mentor beginners daily. The questions I get are far-reaching into the depths of "I just don't get it". Many people don't even know enough to actually describe the problem to me, let alone take a screenshot to show it to me.
It's not their fault – we all start out as beginners! But this is the most delicate time in a person's online business building career and they need extra help.
You'll need to supplement this area of the website with your own YouTube research, or you can watch my training on this.
Please Include Written Summaries!
Video are awesome. They are my preferred way to learn because you can watch and do at the same time. However, they are not perfect. They are frustrating to search through when you want a specific piece of information. Right now, there are only video lessons. I think AffiliateU could improve value to the students by providing a written summary of each lesson so we can go back and review what we need to do.
Stuff like links to supplemental content on other websites, training resources, and examples shown in the videos would be helpful too!
Link Building Disagreement
Personally, I do ZERO link building.
I created a 6-figure business in 2011 that was destroyed by a Google update penalizing websites with falsified link profiles. I was so scarred by the experience, that I have to warn my readers of the dangers of building link profiles, especially using something like a Private Blog Network.
Sure, the work for many people! I'm sure that link building has worked nicely for Tim and other followers of AffiliateU. But I cannot recommend you do the same for your sites because I don't do it for mine.
Even building Web 2.0 properties can be playing in a grey area. Sure, if you build them with 100% original content, they could maybe help your site. But if you are spending that much time and money to build a separate, lower-quality website, that you don't own the rights too….why not just spend the same time and money on your actual website?
Spend that same money to outsource a professional to talk details about your niche, or hire someone to do your social media so you can spend more time doing research. I don't think that link building is worth the time, in the long run.
However, I will concede that building links can help you gain more authority in the short term, and that good links from quality websites to your pages can help them gain rank.
Other Strategy Differences
When any two professionals get together, there will be some disagreement on what works and what doesn't.
I certainly learned quite a bit from AffiliateU, and will use this information to help my own sites. One specific example is the "creating your voice" section, which I realized I was making a huge mistake on one of my current projects.
However, many of you reading this article are frequent readers of my reviews, or subscribers to my email list. There are just a few things I wanted to highlight that I disagree with in the training.
- I don't recommend using spun content for ANYTHING
- I don't recommend using "tricks" to gain sales like forced popups
- I don't recommend getting links from Fiverr for any reason, even for tier 2/3 properties
Keep in mind that this is a review of AffiliateU, not a review of how I build my websites. You'll have to make the choice on certain things when building your business. If you have any questions about differences between what's taught in AffiliateU and what I recommend, please leave a comment asking a specific question about something!

What Else Is Included With Your "University" Enrollment?
About the Masers Club
The Masters Club is an additional program to AffliateU. It costs $137 per month. The previous cost was $97/month, so you may see it listed as that cost on other reviews (I told you Tim was serious about raising prices as he adds value to his products!).
What's inside the Masters Club?
I'm not currently a member, so my info is based off of the introductory video. Honestly, my review here is almost 4,000 words long so I don't want to bog you down with too much information. I'll give you a brief overview of what's offered, and you'll have to decide if it's worth the monthly subscription.
Access to a network of legitimate websites to help you build links to your site: Although I've expressed my apprehension towards building links, this setup sounds pretty beneficial. They are not a "link network", but instead are a bunch of websites that Tim is building and you can post articles, then add links to your sites within these articles. If you do not want to pay for backlinks, and don't want to spend time/money for "outreach", then you could benefit from links from these sites.
Up To Date Updates From Tim's Personal Knowledge: The world of online marketing is changing all the time. There's only so many times you can update videos in a video course. With the Master program you are going to get up-to-date information straight from Tim and his successful online marketing buddies. What are the "big dawgs" doing on their sites? What new platforms can you leverage? What's working or not working right now?
Those tricks could be enough to pay for the membership price.
More Case Studies: Tim's working on a bunch of different projects right now, and you get to see what he's doing with his websites. See how a millionaire runs his business. Better yet, see how a successful internet entrepreneur builds his business from the ground up.
Discounts On Services: I'm not so hot on spending more money at this point, but there will be discount services on different tools to help build your site and grow traffic to it.
Private SEO Consultations: The second most exciting part of the Masters Program (the best part is the case studies IMO), is the private SEO consultations. If you have questions about your business you can just email Tim and ask him what you're doing right/wrong. Don't expect a Skype call and 1-on-1 handholding, but getting the attention, even via email, of a guy like Tim is extremely valuable. Even if you email him just once per month, that's worth the price of the course.
About the Facebook Group
I already touched on this a bit, but the Facebook group is a big sell for me. This is included in the price, and there's no monthly fee to be part of the group. That means you'll be able to interact with other beginner and successful affiliate marketers every day for the next couple months (and years) as you build your business.
One thing that was very noticeable right away was the presence of Tim Schmidt himself. He was creating posts as well as engaging with posts from other users. When a product owner making millions takes time out of his day to ensure that people who buy his product get the help they need, that's a good sign. Here's just one example of Tim reminding people to plan ahead a few months. It's summer now, so it's a great time to start planning for fall affiliate stuff.
I was also happy to see some success stories posted in the community as well. These ranged from people happy about rankings, so this screenshot of earnings increase in comparison to the previous year. A 2,000% increase in earnings? Wow. That's a lot!

Who Will Do Well With AffiliateU Training?
A lot of people would be able to benefit from this product. The training covers a lot ranging from beginner steps to advanced tactics. But is AffiliateU worth YOUR money? That's the key question we want to answer.
After diving into hours and hours of lessons from Tim, here's who I think will benefit most from his training. You'll get the most value if…
- You are a newbie and can commit to 6-9 months of work without making any money
- Your are a complete newbie and are not afraid to ask questions or take action
- You have failed a few times at building a profitable website, and want a clear track to profits this time around
- You know how to build an affiliate website but don't understand why you are not making money yet
- You understand affiliate marketing but need extra help and advice
- You have a profitable website but want to make MORE money from it
Who Will Not Do Well With This Product?
Not everyone is a good fit! Here are the main people I think can safely NOT buy this product:
- You are a newbie and expect someone to do the work of building a website/writing content for you
- You are a newbie and expect someone to walk you through the training step by step
- You are down to your last dollar and need the money for food/rent*
- You are already making good income online and are confident you can increase beyond that without any help
*lots of people message me asking if they can make profit in a month because they need rent money. I always say that starting an online business is not a last ditch effort to make rent money. It should be an INVESTMENT in yourself, and you should have a timeline of 1-2 years before making good money in online marketing. However, you might be able to make your first sales in less than a few months if you really hit the books!

Alternatives To AffiliateU
There are very few affiliate marketing courses that can compare to what AffiliateU offers in terms of quality teaching content and additional support. That being said, there are some good alternatives which may be better for you, depending on your goals.
Option 1: Display Ads Instead of Affiliate Links
If you would like to learn how to make money with Google Adsense and other display ad networks, then my recommended course is Niche Tycoon.
The great thing about display ads is that you don't have to "funnel" anyone to a money page, or really care about who does what on your website. View = money. Your only job is to get traffic.
In expensive niches like money, tech, and lawyer-ing, you can make a TON of money just from traffic. It's massive. Like, $40,000 dollars per month massive.
The downside is that in some niches, the pay per view/click is not as much so you really need a boatload of traffic to make any significant money.
Option 2: Extra Help For Newbies
As I mentioned before, I realize that some folks are starting from ground zero. Maybe you can barely manage your email, or you are still struggling to figure out how to publish on WordPress.
If you are a complete newbie and want more direct, more instant support, then Wealthy Affiliate is a great alternative.
They have some awesome systems in their members area like live chat and private messaging to help you follow each step of the lessons. Don't understand something? Ask in live chat and get and INSTANT answer, plus follow up support.
Need more direct help with choosing a niche? Private message me and we can exchange messages over the next week to figure out a specific topic to help you make money online.
The personalized support in this 11-year-old community is unparalleled by any other program I've ever seen. It's why their my #1 recommend product for 5 years running.
Final Word About AffiliateU
Is AffiliateU worth the cost? Hell yes.
They teach creating honest, high quality websites for long term profits. Considering you also get access to an interactive Facebook community where you can exchange ideas with other online marketers, the price of $1497 is an excellent deal.
Consider this:
If you are making "only" $1000 per month you'll make your money back in two months.
Even if it takes you a full two years to create any kind of legitimate income, you'll be able to exchange that two years of hard work for DECADES of personal freedom.
As a person who's been studying and making money online for 7 years now, I give this this product an honest recommendation.

Hi, Nathaniel. Thanks for the comprehensive review of AffiliateU. It sounds like a pretty comprehensive course on affiliate marketing. What scares me off is the price. I'm not going to cough up almost $1500 for it, or for any other online course for that matter. It's probably worth the money, but that's beside the point for me. It comes down to affordability. I can't afford it.
I'm just starting out in affiliate marketing. I'm less than 6 months in and haven't begun earning money yet. Maybe when I'm in your position I will change my mind. Right now, though, my money has to be ear-marked for other things.
How long have you been an affiliate marketer? I'd like to know so I can have some idea of when I will begin to reap the rewards myself. Have a great one!
I've been an affiliate marketer for 7 years now, so something like this could be worth the money. As I mentioned, $1500 seems like a lot, but if it can teach me how to make just $100 per month extra, it will pay for itself in a year, and make $1200 extra per year after that. That's a pretty good return for just making $3 per day.
Of course, the idea is that you'll make much more money from what you learn, but I'm just talking about minimum impact results.
As a newbie, it can be hard to stomach the cost though. So I totally understand. Good to know what your options are!

But I believe this is a reflection of Cao realizing that he's a longshot to keep his seat. However that tax stance is completely antithetical to the mainstream Republican place on taxation.

Red milkweed
A new milkweed, for me. Asclepias curassavica. It is growing prolifically on the block of Union between Smith and Hoyt where all the brownstones have long front gardens.
When looking it up at home I was sure I would read that it is invasive but no, no such thing. It is described instead as a plant of merit. From Mexico on down, it provides food for monarch butterflies. Do you think that they find it, on their weary flights back and forth along the length of this continent, and swoop down and drink in surprise?
Hardy to zone 9, it is grown here as an annual.

Wow! I've never seen red milkweed before. It's lovely. Back home, the monarch butterfly caterpillars eat crown flower, which is a mega-milkweed (as in tree size) of the asclepiadaceae family (Calotropis gigantea). We used to get caterpillars off the trees and raise them so we could release them as butterflies. One of my fondest childhood memories. That and making leis from the flowers.
