Niche Site Duel 006: My Backlink Strategy
By Pat Flynn on
Please note that this strategy was written in late 2010. Although it does still work, it doesn't work quite as well as it used to, since quite a bit has changed in the world of search engine optimization since then.
UPDATE: A more recent version of this post has been published, with techniques and strategies for link building that work in 2014 and beyond.
Exactly 12 hours after I posted my previous niche site duel update, my niche site took a giant leap from #117 in Google (where it was sitting for about 5 days), to #58, and now it's sitting at #53. This was very encouraging because it means that my backlinking strategy is totally working, which is perfect timing because that's exactly what I'm going to share with you today.
(Sidenote: I've been getting a lot of emails about how to check your rankings in the search engines lately. Answer: How to Find Your Google Keyword SERPs Ranking)
To quickly reiterate, backlinks (links from other websites to yours) are the key to moving up the ranks of search engines. The quality is far more important than the actual number of backlinks, so it's our goal to get them primarily from sites that have a high Google Page Rank.
There are a ton of different ways to get backlinks, but I'm only going to share with you my specific techniques that I'm using specifically for this niche site duel.
Publish Excellent Content
No matter what niche you're in, you should always be publishing excellent content on your site. This is a no brainer, but many times we often put aside creating excellent content for other strategies that will help us rank higher.
Sure, you may climb the search engines, but what happens when you're on the first page of Google and start to see traffic? They bounce off your site like a rubber ball because you've got crappy content.
Furthermore, with superb content you're more likely to get backlinks in the most natural form possible – from people wanting to link to your content simply because your content rules.
As I mentioned in Niche Site Duel 004: My Content Strategy, I have a content strategy that may easily position my site as one of the most helpful websites available on the subject. If I can create the "go to" website for my niche, then backlinks will happen naturally and Google will love it.
Article Marketing / Web 2.0 Sites
This is similar to what Tyrone has outlined in his most recent video (see the niche site duel hub), but I've added a few things.
I will include a video (soon) that walks you through my process and gives you an over-the-shoulder look, but here's a quick breakdown for now:
Creating Anchors
- I get set of backlinks by posting articles on the following article directories:
- I also get a set of backlinks by creating free blogs and posting content on the following web 2.0 sites:
- To speed things up bigtime and make the content part of all this much easier (since this is A LOT of content that needs to be written), I use a couple of handy tools (aff links – I earn a commission if you buy):
Instant Article Factory is excellent for creating quick content that I primarily use on my web 2.0 sites.
The Best Spinner has saved me the most time throughout this whole process, because what I do is:
- Write a good, unique article (between 350 and 600 words), and then post it on the primary niche site.
- I then use the tool to spin the article and then submit it to EzineArticles.
- I repeat by re-spinning and re-submitting the article to all of the various article directories. All of my spun articles have been approved so far, including on EzineArticles.
- I then re-spin the same article and use it on my Web 2.0 sites too.
Note: This allows me to "repurpose" my original article in a unique way that generates more backlinks without have to write more. That being said, when I use The Best Spinner (trial) (full disclosure – I earn a commission if you purchase) to spin my articles, I make sure to read each of the spun articles before I submit them. This is important to me, and I recommend insist that you take the time to read through each uniquely spun article yourself before submitting them to make sure you're not publishing content that doesn't make sense.
Also, it is not an easy button, as it does take time to go through each word or phrase and select synonyms, but it really saves me a lot of time in the end.
Backlinks for my Backlinks
To give the backlinks from my anchor sites a little more "SEO Juice", which will ultimately flow down to my primary site, I hit the anchors with mass social bookmarking and even more article submissions. I usually do this right away (after they are created or approved), so they are rapidly indexed.
You could use a tool like Bookmarking Demon to almost automatically submit to hundreds of bookmarking sites, but to be honest it's a really expensive deal. I like to just spend 30 minutes using a free tool from SocialMarker to do the trick.
I'm also exploring mass article submissions as a way to boost my backlinks using tools like Automatic Article Submitter and Unique Article Wizard, which can send out hundreds of articles in a day to various smaller article directories around the web. I can't recommend either of those two programs yet since I'm still getting familiar with them, but UAW looks promising. I'll keep you updated.
So to sum things up, I'm essentially creating a mini-network of articles and blogs around my main site, with an outer ring of "boosters". I will occasionally link the web 2.0 properties to each other and the articles as well.
I do have a few other strategies that I know about that I may try in the future, but for now this is it, and it seems to be working quite well. Hopefully within a few weeks I can get onto or close to the first page and then begin my monetization plan, which I'm really excited about and will share with you in a later update.
Until then, Cheers!

2016 Annual Ugly Sweater Party
We had a great time with the third annual Ugly Sweater Party. Thank you to all the great people who joined the fun and merriment to celebrate the Holiday Season. The entire Smokin Js crew, and a bunch of customers, donned their ugliest sweater to celebrate the holidays and bring awareness to the Realm of Caring national cannabis charity. We have so many ideas for the next Ugly Sweater party in 2017, we can't wait for the next Holiday Season.
For three years Smokin Js has teamed up with the Realm of Caring national charity for a donation drive to help spread factual medical cannabis awareness and help families move from non medical cannabis states to enlightened states that have legalized medical cannabis. We were blessed to find this wonderful charity several years ago, and we cherish our relationship. Smokin Js is very proud to connect our customers to this worthwhile cause.
So far in the Holiday donation drive for Realm of Caring, Smokin Js customers have donated over $1200!! We are only a couple hundred dollars short of last year's donation amount. We will be accepting donations to the Realm of Caring until December 31st, 2016 at any Smokin Js retail location.

Activity Centre Launch Film
As we approach our 150th Anniversary year, we are determined to celebrate 2019 by providing every student with an inspiring and exciting Activity Centre.
Of course, my main focus has been, and will continue to be, on the teaching and learning that takes place at the College. However, the St George's strapline of 'Perfectly Balanced' means that in parallel with pursuing academic excellence, we must nurture excellence in physical pursuits, too - whatever these might be. It is hugely important to me that the new building is an Activity Centre, not a Sports Centre – I want all our young men and women to be enriched by it, not just those who seek, and achieve, high performance in team sports. I want us to offer activity for all, within an outstanding environment.
I believe that the Activity Centre will enable a step-change in what St George's offers; our ambition is to be the first school in the UK to include a revolutionary state of the art glass sports floor in the Centre. I talk a lot about all students being valued, happy and the best version of themselves – this new facility is a vital component in making this a reality.
I encourage you to be part of our future and help us to celebrate 150 years in style - and begin by enjoying our film.

The Festhalle Frankfurt in Frankfurt, Germany, is a multi-purpose hall at the Frankfurter Messegelände. The interior of about 40 metres high dome provides an area of 5,646 square metres up to 4,880 seats. Together with the two tiers up to 9,843 people will in the banquet hall space, unseated at the interior than 13,500.
At the end of the 19th century, the Frankfurt fair was held in various facilities. Frequently it was housed in the Hippodrome in the Sachsenhausen, while at other times it was held in single-use pavilions. After a time many felt the city needed a dedicated exhibition hall. A competition was advertised, and the plans of the Marburg architect Friedrich von Thiersch made the short list of finalists. After several amendments, von Theirsch's concept was widely accepted. Construction began on 11 June 1907. On 19 May 1909, it was officially opened by Kaiser Wilhelm II. At the time of its opening, the Festhalle was the largest dome in Europe.
The German Gymnastics Festival and the International Air Show, were the first events in the new building. In 1914, then broke out of the First World War, was the banquet hall turned into a camp for soldiers. After the war the hall was used again for its original purpose.
On the night of 8 to 9 November 1938, during the November pogroms hundreds of Frankfurt's Jewish citizens were driven across the city centre in the Festhalle and some seriously ill-treated. The noted Frankfurt Opera singer Hans Erl was forced to sing "In Diesen Heilgen Hallen".[1] From here, the first mass transports went into the concentration camps. The Festhalle is thus of considerable importance for the Holocaust. Since 1991, a plaque points in the rotunda of the Festhalle in it. The Frankfurt physician and survivor of Dr. Max Kirschner describes the deportation in his memoirs.
During the Second World War, the hall was used for the storage of uniforms of the armed forces. On 18 December 1940, inflamed the textiles and the Festhalle has been through the resultant severe fire severely damaged. Whether it is how the Nazis claimed to act of arson, is still unclear. A bomb attack damaged the Frankfurt Festhalle a second time after the Second World War they should be demolished for the most part, but the citizens of Frankfurt and Mayor Walter Kolb could prevent this. It was initially prepared makeshift again.
Only in the 1980s, extensive modernizations such as the installation of air conditioning have been made.
Today, the hall is again a popular venue for concerts by prominent artists. Even fairs are held back in it. During the International Automobile Exhibition occupied traditionally Daimler AG, the Festhalle. In the first half of the 1990s was held in the banquet hall, the ATP World Championship in tennis of lords.
It is currently being extensively renovated. In the bars on the window sills, windows and ventilation shafts will be re-fitted with the originally existing gold leaf. Even after the war is not reconstructed cupolas of the towers should be rebuilt. In addition, the coating of white will be changed to a bright ocher.
On 28 June 2009 celebrated the Festhalle in Frankfurt on the occasion of their 100th anniversary, one open day, visitors to look at the guides in the dressing room and on the stage, and Starting up with a pair of scissors Steiger as the dome ceiling allowed.
It is used primarily for indoor sports and music concerts. Frankfurts' Festhalle has a capacity of 15,179 people, and is one of the largest Festhalle in Germany. On October 9th, 2004, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) hosted a live event in the Festhalle as a part of the "Live & Loaded" Tour. WWE was scheduled to come back to this German show venue on December 6, 2007 with a house show from their SmackDown! brand. Canadian rock trio Rush recorded their R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour DVD here on September 24, 2004. In November 2008, British hard rock band Deep Purple played a one-off show in the Festhalle, Frankfurt during the band's 40 Year Anniversary Tour. The MTV Europe Music Awards was held in the Festhalle, Frankfurt, in 2001 and 2012. Depeche Mode, filmed part of their show at the sports arena on July 27, 1993, for the live home video, Devotional.
The Festhalle is one of the most important buildings of the late historicism. The architect Friedrich von Thiersch is consistent in his plans to create the splendor of the neo-baroque style, is a worthy representative of the fair city building. The floor plan consisted of the large hall and an exhibition area as the east wing for concerts and similar events. The hall should be 100 metres long and 60 metres wide. In the middle of the rectangle is then covered the somewhat broader rotunda, which was to be crowned by a cupola. This dome forms a contrast with the majestic architecture of the lower part. They should remain different from that time still customary in similar buildings, completely undisguised. It consists only of steel and glass and is similar to that of the materials of construction of the platform halls of Frankfurt's main station, which is about a mile further south is. The Stahlverstrebungen, were used in the glass surfaces are connected by a pressure ring, the load evenly distributed.
The proposed east wing was realised from a lack of money. The design of the architect saw this before two concert halls, several lounges and a banquet hall. Furthermore, an approximately 60 m high Campanile was planned.
The Festival Hall was the model for many subsequent halls of this type is particularly the dome was often imitated. The most famous example is the Centennial Hall in Wroclaw by Max Berg.
A Festhalle is a German arena or community center. Festhallen can be found in many towns and cities in Germany, and range in size and use from small neighborhood activity centers, to large capacity stadiums able to seat thousands of spectators.

Don't forget to enter the Small Kitchen College Brown Bag Challenge for a chance to win some great BuiltNY prizes!
I spent the summer after sophomore year as a marketing intern in midtown Manhattan. My days were busy and very long. I relished every moment of my hour-long lunch break. Unfortunately, the office where I worked was situated in a blackhole of attractive lunch options – a girl can only eat so many Au Bon Pain paninis in one summer. Plus, I ended up spending a good portion of my meager paycheck on fifteen dollar sandwiches every day. So, for you broke and hungry interns, here are two lunch recipes that are brown bag-able and delicious.
Katharine spent her junior year abroad indulging in delicious food (and doing a little studying) in Lyon, France and Bologna, Italy. Back home, she loves cooking Ina's Perfect Roast Chicken.
Quinoa with Asian Dressing
Serves 4-6
My mom's best friend sent me this recipe to try for one of my weekly dinners and I have ended up making it quite a bit just to have in the house as a snack or ready-made lunch. I love the bright, summery flavors.
For the dressing
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
pinch of cayenne
For the quinoa
3 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups quinoa
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped cilantro or italian parsley
3/4 cup diced celery
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Assemble the dressing by stirring all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce the water to a simmer. Cook the quinoa until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy (about 20-30 minutes).
Meanwhile, add the scallions, cranberries, cilantro and celery to a large bowl. Toss the pecans in a small skillet over medium heat until they are toasted and add them to the bowl. Stir in the dressing.
After the quinoa has cooled slightly, add it to the bowl of other ingredients and stir it all together. Set it aside and let it come to room temperature for about an hour (to let the flavors soak in). Serve at room temperature and refrigerate the leftovers.
Serves 1
This sandwich derives from my favorite meal at Le Pain Quotidien. Since it's a rare occasion that I get to eat the real deal, I invented my own at-home version of this delicious vegetarian tartine with a few adaptations and additions.
1 loaf of fresh country white bread (or whatever your favorite is, sourdough works well with this sandwich too), cut into 1/2 inch slices
2-3 tablespoons of hummus (any variety works, though I find that a spicy hummus makes the sandwich a little more interesting)
1 ripe haas avocado
1 cucumber, sliced
a handful of alfalfa sprouts
a few thin slices of red onion
(optional) balsamic reduction (I use a store-bought brand, which can sometimes be expensive.)
Spread the hummus and balsamic (if you are using it) onto each slice of bread.
Arrange the sliced avocado, cucumber, alfalfa sprouts, and onion slivers on one slice of bread. Arrange the sandwich and pack it up well (if there's too much air around it the avocado will turn brown – you can still eat it, it just doesn't look as appetizing).

Aprima Medical Software Recognized by Everything Channel's CRN Magazine As One of the Top Health Care Vendors
DALLAS, TX, November 16, 2010 – Aprima Medical Software, a leading developer of electronic health record (EHR), practice management (PM) and revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions for medical practices, today announced that it has been recognized by Everything Channel's CRN Magazine as one of the Top Health Care Vendors. This first annual list recognizes the most important health care technology vendors with indirect sales channel programs or direct relevance to the channel. According to IDC Health Insights, growth in implementation of electronic medical records and health information exchange technologies will help to spur the worldwide growth of health care IT spending over the next three years to more than $13 billion. As a result, these technologies are fast becoming a hugely lucrative, value- added play for solution providers—and value-added resellers (VARs) need to identify the ideal vendors with which they can partner on health care opportunities.
As excitement over health care IT flourishes, many solution providers are still unsure how to get started or where they can seek health care IT resources and education. CRN's first annual list recognizes the key players in the health care space with indirect channel programs or direct relevance to the channel, bringing to the forefront 100 health care vendors that solution providers should know.
Final selections were made by CRN's editorial team. These 100 health care vendors were culled from industry research, interviews with numerous solution providers and analysts, and CRN editors' knowledge specific to the health care space.
Aprima has seen great value in utilizing VARs as part of its business growth strategy; the leading EHR vendor currently conducts 30 percent of its sales through VAR channels. Aprima's VARs, who are local to the practices, have extensive experience in healthcare, with services ranging from installation and configuration of software to development of interfaces and training of staff. These services enhance Aprima's overall offerings and allow the company to increase adoption rates of EHRs among various physician communities.
"Doctors Administrative Solutions (DAS) has been a reseller of Aprima along with products from some of the other vendors on the Top 100 list. Without a doubt, one of the biggest advantages of working with Aprima is that their EHR is doing things today that their competitors won't be getting to for 18 months," said David Schlaifer, president and CEO of Doctors Administrative Solutions, an Aprima Value-Added Reseller. ―Perhaps even more important to us as a reseller, Aprima has consistently demonstrated a rare and refreshing level of integrity, customer-centric focus and commitment to being a true partner, which causes them to stand out among the crowd."
"These vendors are offering innovative solutions to serve the growing demands of the healthcare market. We applaud them for helping customers and VARs solve some of the most difficult IT problems in a growing market," said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director, Everything Channel.
"Aprima is proud to receive this honor from Everything Channel and recognize its value-added reseller network," said Michael Nissenbaum, CEO and President of Aprima. ―The reseller channel is an extremely important piece of our overall company strategy. Our dedicated VARs allow us to offer our award-winning EHR/PM solution to practices throughout the United States that aim to achieve ‗Meaningful Use' status and qualify for government-allocated stimulus funds."
Aprima's template-free, content rich EHR software enables providers to follow their own protocols. Its adaptive learning feature speeds adoption and deployment, a critical capability as medical practices seek to meet ―Meaningful Use" standards for government stimulus fund reimbursements. Furthermore, as a single EHR + PM application built on a single database, Aprima affords users with the fastest access to clinical and financial data. AprimaRCM addresses practices' needs for seasoned financial expertise by delivering insight that helps practices collect every dollar they earn. Aprima's licensing plans make sense for everyone from a solo rural practitioner to a multi-specialty urban group.
A special feature of the Top Healthcare Vendors is in the October issue of CRN Magazine and expanded coverage will be featured online at www.crn.com.

End users still cool on Iceland as a data center site
Iceland's financial collapse, limited labor pool and lack of proximity to metropolitan areas give users pause about targeting the country for data center site selection.
Once again, Iceland is trying to sell itself as a prime data center location, but persistent concerns about financial stability, network connectivity and the available labor pool make many users hesitant to consider the site for data center location.
In 2007 the Invest in Iceland Agency made a substantial push to attract data centers to the country, boasting clean and cheap geothermal and hydropower. The government agency mainly tried to sell Iceland as a good backup data center location, saying that in addition to power benefits, the country had temperatures that fluctuated little and a stable economy.
So much for the stable economy. Last year, the country's three large global banks collapsed and the country's financial situation put in high relief the impact of the global recession. According to a Vanity Fair article this year, within weeks of the banks collapsing, one-third of the population considered leaving the country.
"If you and I were having this conversation last year, I would say it was absolutely highly impactful," said Jeff Monroe, the CEO of Verne Global, which is building a hosting data center there now. "We went through a time with risk around Iceland where people wouldn't put foreign investment into the country."
Iceland: Risky or low cost for data center site selection?
But with time, the financial situation has changed somewhat , said Monroe, who cited new elections and the government's ability to work on its financial issues and secure loans. But John Boyd, the president of data center location consultant the Boyd Company, stresses that the financial situation must still be considered a risk factor.
"The financial meltdown is a backdrop to all of this, and the financial situation in Iceland could be an issue," he said. "However, I will say this: There is no perfect location. We're in the business of making tradeoffs on behalf of our clients, and every project has different tradeoffs."
Boyd added that the scarcity of technical talent either in Iceland already there or willing to relocate could be another issue. Another is latency issues with connectivity, although proponents of Iceland-based data centers that they're not ideal for online trading applications. But Boyd said the No. 1 consideration for almost all his clients is the cost of energy. Since Iceland has cheap power, it can't be summarily dismissed.
But there are other problems with locating a data center -- even a backup data center -- in Iceland. It is one thing if a hosting provider operates and maintains a company's data center backup location. But if a company wants to run its own data center in any remote location, logistical issues quickly crop up.
"There are things I look at when building a data center in a 'lights dim' fashion with hands-on support,' said Gary Simpson, the VP of global operations for storage company NetApp. "I try to locate within 30 miles of a major metropolitan area. That way I don't have as many logistics issues, vendor issues and employment issues."

The Beginning...
I later started filling a notebook with hand-written recipes I would get from relatives. One day I showed my home-ec teacher in 8th grade and she was stunned. I probably had more recipes than she did! My television was usually tuned into PBS shows like Julia Child, Yan Can Cook, and later the Discover Channel Great Chefs series. The point is, I was like a food sponge, and everything I saw I quickly absorbed. Some things don't change.
During my college summers, I would work once a week at Williams-Sonoma as a shipper, carrying in and stocking their weekly shipments. The employees there loved me as I was a frequent customer, always joking about how I'd love a discount. My once-a-week commitment scored me that highly coveted 40% off that only a true foodie could flip over.
Yes, I love food! I love cooking it, eating it, taking photographs of it, etc. Although I've spent years honing my culinary skills, I've made lots of mistakes as well. I think every good cook does. It creates a sense of humility that is required to create great food, and develop one's palate without turning into a complete snob. Yes, I've bled all over cutting boards, I've burned my fingers, Hell, I even set fire to an oven mitt recently (but the resulting Bolognese was Heavenly)! All kitchen tragedies aside, in the end the food was prepared with lots of love and really delicious ingredients, the basic necessity for all good food.
So, what are you waiting for? Quit wasting time and go eat something! It's dinner-time somewhere ;-)

Haha, thanks Meghan! I'm actually considering it! I'm going on a tour tomorrow morning and might start a year-long program in September. I'm not sure if I want to be a chef in a crazy restaurant, but I'd love to do something involving food, like be a food writer or work at the Food Network or something :-D
- March 2, 2009 at 8:17 PM
I just love the way you describe food. You should become a food critic, or work at a Food Magazine or Food Network. It would be the perfect job for you...

Thanks, Mommy! Great minds think alike ;-)

It all looks soo....goooood......
- March 3, 2009 at 10:10 AM
I definitly agree with Mary. My mouth was watering and my tummy was telling me it would like to have crab cakes for dinner, as I was reading.
All of the recipes look and sound DELISH!
Keep them coming!

yum yum yum...this blog is so good! And thanks. I'm hungry...again...and food is far off yet! Argh...
Great stuff!

Dear Siblings in the faith,
I Paul write to you once again, for I believe you need yet another metaphor for Sin. I have already told you it is like an enslaving contract, but today, I wish to tell you about Sin another way, that you might more fully feel the insidious nature of sin, and understand the way in which you are trapped.
Sin is a parasite. Your Pastor, Pastor Chris, once told you about the Holy Spirit—the Paraclete, and how it was like a Paramedic, Paralegal, and Parallel… perhaps you've grasped that the pre-fix Para means beside. And if so, you no doubt know that a Parasite comes from Para-Sitos—Eating at another's table.
And that's just what Sin does. It lives by living in another creature—using it.
Sin is a parasite—such creatures were unknown in my time—but through your natural sciences are now well known. They are creatures that infect hosts and use them to live and reproduce. In extreme cases you get parasites like Toxoplasmosis, which can only reproduce in cats, so they infect mice and birds, scramble their brains, and make them unafraid of cats, which leads to their host's death and the parasite's life.
Yes, Sin is just such a parasite, with no life or strength of its own, save infection and manipulation.
And know this, Sin has infected the Law and infected your Flesh.
Now, when I say that Sin has infected the Law, you as a Gentile Church—that is a non-Jewish Christian Congregation, may hear something heading toward heresy—you may assume the Law of Moses is a throw away, or even you may make a simple equation of my warning of infection—you may say "Law=Sin."
This is by no means true!
Instead, the Law has been infected by that parasite Sin… in fact, I'd venture if you looked at any law, those of Moses or those of any other peoples, including your own, with careful eyes, you'd see Sin's sinister hold upon it.
But, let's stick with Moses' Laws… I know in my bones—if not in literal history—that God said "Take Anything But This"… and I, we, coveted that thing immediately. Sin swept into that Command of God and commandeered it.
It said, "Really? Not even a little taste? Not even a little lie? Not even a small death?"
At the same time as it chipped away at it, it also built up the Law—making it more than it was, "Don't just avoid this sin, avoid nearness to it at all costs!"
Like cattle being rustled, it used the Law to chase me—one way, then another—it shouted, "Never! Never!" and "Just a little! Just a little!" until I nearly exploded. Popped like a pimple—my worst self revealed and inflamed.
Yes, the Holy Law of God—reprogrammed to do me ill!
How much more then the Laws of men? Imagine what Sin can do with them!
And so too, my own Flesh
—Am I not of the Earth—this good home of ours?
Has it not been said that we are the height of the created order?
Are we not little lower than angels?
For that matter, do I not have a moral compass? Do I not hear my conscience guiding me?
I do!
I really do!
Yet, hear I as well the parasite disrupting paradise. The very good I am granted in my soul sloshes away from me. I am stuck!
I wish to paddle toward the North Star, but instead I choose to sink my boat!
I know what is life giving, yet I give into death—for Sin uses me—riding roughshod over my better self!
I, Paul, have experienced the Tempest released when these two goods—Law and Flesh—are infected, when the Parasite Sin sends them a clashing against one another!
I heard the early church—they preached Jesus as Lord and Messiah—the Blessed One, the Savior.
But I knew the Law. "All who die upon a tree are accursed."—Deuteronomy 21:23. So says the Law!
Infected with Sin, the Law blinded me to its central command—"Love God, Love Neighbor."—Deuteronomy 6:5.
Infected with Sin, my Flesh took it several steps further—I first held coats as Stephen was stoned to death for his faith.
I then, with great zeal and righteousness
—as a religious duty, to fulfill the Law of God
—went and persecuted the Church of God.
See how that all worked? Sin stunted the Law of God and lived in my most religious self. It infected us both—taking our best, so that it might be embittered and become our worst.
Wretched man that I am, who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!

For the Holidays (and All Year Round): It's Either a "Hell Yeah" or Say "No"
Alright, so it's the first week of November, and the tension is already starting to rise around here. Every year after the holidays we swear that the next year will be different – simpler, calmer, and more organized. We pledge to have all of our holiday shopping done by the end of October so that we can ease into November with a more serene state of mind. And every year is no different. It's the same mad rush as the last, full of too much stress and overwhelming busyness.
This year poses even more challenges, as it's the first in which we've had a consumer lifestyle brand to run, and this holiday season is shaping up to be a very busy one for us. Lots going on, to say the least, on top of all of the normal holiday hustle and bustle.
It's all exciting stuff, but it's another example of our tendency to take on too much. This is not a problem isolated to this time of year, of course. And I know it's not just us that feel this way either. Too much and too fast is a problem that afflicts too many of us too often.
It can easily become a vicious cycle. In my experience, the more active and engaged you are – be it with social interactions, business initiatives, or family obligations – the easier it is to become even busier. Opportunities beget new opportunities, and if you're not careful things can get away from you and you find yourself frantic and frazzled with too much on your plate. This problem is particularly acute this time of year.
There are no easy answers to this challenge. Disengagement from the busy world we live in is not an option for most. But it's helpful to have a decision-making framework in place so that, in the course of a typical week when tens, if not hundreds, of new opportunities present themselves, you'll be ready to allocate your most valuable asset – your time – in a way that honors, respects and furthers your life's purpose.
The framework that we're trying to employ to help us navigate through the next couple of months was inspired by entrepreneur Derek Sivers, who explained in a blog post that when he's deciding whether or not to commit to something, if he doesn't think to himself, "Wow, that would be amazing! Hell, yeah!," then he says "no."
In other words, when you say "no" to things that don't get your heart pumping, then you make room for things that make you want to jump up and down with passion and excitement.
What this means in practical terms is that we're taking steps to be much more discerning about commitments we make during the holiday season. That party next weekend? Sounds fun, but probably not worth feeling sluggish for the next day. Accordingly, it's a no. But the concert coming up in a few weeks that we've been dying to go to? "Hell yeah." That last minute, one-off client request for an animated greeting card? Meh, not worth the hassle. However, the proposal that could lead to a long-term and beneficial new business opportunity? In this case, it's a go.
It would be far better, of course, to operate with a 'hell yeah or no" mindset not just during the holidays, but all year round. After all, there's no sense in spending time and energy on things that you're ambivalent about. Instead, focus only on things that are meaningful and joyful. This is an approach that should apply to every aspect of life.
Failing to say "hell yeah or no" leads people:
- To enter into, and stay engaged in, one-sided, unfulfilling and codependent relationships.
- To buy things they don't need and can't afford – often both.
- To stay in jobs they don't like because they don't believe that there's any greener grass out there.
- To say yes to commitments for which they don't have the time or energy, for fear of letting someone else down, while disregarding their own needs in the process.
I know from my own experience that being compulsively busy is often an avoidance tactic. There are other things in my life that I'm not – but I should be – addressing, and busyness is a way to avoid them.
In her book Daring Greatly Brené Brown writes about things we do to numb ourselves to avoid confronting hard truths. According to Brown, one of the biggest culprits is an addiction to busy: "One of the most universal numbing strategies is what I call crazy-busy. I often say that when they start having 12-step meetings for busy-aholics, they'll need to rent out football stadiums. We are a culture of people who've bought into the idea that if we stay busy enough, the truth of our lives won't catch up with us."
Just like any addiction, there's only one way to stop being overly busy. That's right, you need to summons the courage to just say "no."
We all owe it to ourselves to curate our time more carefully; to say no much more often, and hell yeah when it really matters. This helps eliminate the mediocre and mundane, and makes more room for the spectacular things in life.

Over a year after the Chief Executive Officer of Facebook visited China he is back there again most likely as a result of analyst statement which was "a realistic opportunity" for the company to finally enter the world's largest internet market by users in 2018. Mark Zuckerberge who is the Chief Executive Officer of Facebook put up a photo of his recent visit to the Chinese students at Tsinghua School of Economics and Management in Beijing.
As Facebook's service has been forbidden in China almost a decade ago which was in 2009, Mr William Shuai through Linkedln was contacted by Facebook to head a relations with the Chinese Government while has also been secretly testing a photo – sharing App in China and also aims at acquiring a Shanghai office for its fledgeling consumer hardware section, Building 8.
According to the post put up by Facebook's Chief Executive Officer on Saturday, he stated that he visited China to meet with the Tsinghua School's advisory board which he has been a member of for about three years since 2014. He said "Every year this trip is a great way to keep up with the pace of innovation and entrepreneurship in China,". Mr. Mark Zuckerberg has become well learned in the Mandarin language such that he is a proficient speaker of the tongue.
The plan of Facebook's entry into China has been nurtured by Facebook for years because of its promising benefits of a whole new wide range of users and advertisers at a period when pressure is upon the company to continue proving its growth to investors.
Mr. Mark Zuckerberg who met with major stake holders like China's propaganda chief and some other of the government leaders during his last trip about a year ago to China, its not clear this time if he plans to still have a meet with government officials and a Facebook spokesperson did not respond to comments concerning a request of Mr. Zuckerberg's visit schedule.
China is a highly lucrative and challenging region for technology companies such as Facebook and Facebook owned WhatsApp because of the density of internet users in the region. For reasons of a crack down of online censorship Facebook's operation was banned in China.
Google the Canada based tech giants also noted that its search engine services were pulled out of mainland in China in 2010 because of the China's almost unrealistic censorship requirements and noticed efforts by the Government to break its users accounts to China.
So one of the proposed ways recorded by The New York Times about a year ago through which Facebook plans to come back into China is to create its own censorship tool with the capability to cover specific posts in particular geographic areas but it is not yet certain if the tool is still being developed.
Therefore the much anticipated opportunity of Facebook's operation in China is near as Xi Jinping begins the President of China begins a second term in November according to an analyst James Lee with Mizuho who stated that "media scrutiny and sensitivity are much less during an administration's second term."
Further citing Mr James Lee, Facebook's current approach of helping Chinese advertisers sell ads overseas also "appears to be aligned with Chinese government's policy to globalize local companies," and could finally lead to the company securing the coveted Internet Content Provider (ICP) license needed to officially do business in China
According to Lee, Facebook's current approach of helping Chinese advertisers sell ads overseas also "appears to be aligned with Chinese government's policy to globalize local companies," and could finally lead to the company securing the coveted Internet Content Provider (ICP) license needed to officially do business in China.

Preventative Dental Services
Dr. Randall Heckert D.M.D. and the caring team of professionals at Growing Smiles Dentistry are dedicated to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible.
Each procedure will be thoroughly discussed with you and any questions you have resolved prior to the start of your care.
Please don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions regarding a specific dental procedure or condition.
Teeth Cleaning
Routine dental exams make for healthy, beautiful smiles and good oral hygiene habits. We want all of our patients to enjoy these benefits and encourage parents to bring their children in for regular dental check-ups and teeth cleaning. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children should see a dentist at least every six months, or more often, depending on child's diet and risk assessment. These visits are very important in preventing cavities. Not only will Dr. Heckert check your child's teeth, but your child will also learn the necessary techniques for good oral hygiene.
Preventive Sealants
Sealants protect the grooved and pitted surfaces of back teeth, especially the chewing surfaces of back teeth where most cavities in children are found. Made of clear or shaded resin, sealants are applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free.
How do sealants work?
Even if your child brushes and flosses carefully, it is difficult--sometimes--impossible--to clean the tiny grooves and pits on certain teeth. Food and bacteria build up in these crevices, placing your child in danger of tooth decay. Sealants "seal out" food and plaque, thus reducing the risk of tooth decay.
How long do sealants last?
Research show that sealants can last for many years if properly cared for. Therefore, your child will be protected throughout the most cavity-prone years. If your child has good oral hygiene and avoids biting hard objects, sealants will last longer. Dr. Heckert will check the sealants during routine dental visits and recommend re-application or repair when necessary.
What is the treatment like?
The application of a sealant is quick and comfortable. It takes only one visit. The tooth is first cleaned. It is then conditioned and dried. The sealant is then flowed onto the grooves of the tooth and allowed to harden or hardened with a special light. Your child will be able to eat right after the appointment.
How much does it cost?
The treatment is very affordable, especially in view of the valuable decay protection if offers your child. Most dental insurance companies cover sealants. Some companies, however, have age and specific tooth limitations. Check with your benefits provider about your child's coverage and talk with our front office about the exact cost of sealants for your child.
If my child has sealants, are brushing and flossing important?
Yes!! Sealants are only one step in the plan to keep your child cavity-free for a lifetime. Brushing, flossing, balanced nutrition, limited snacking, and regular dental visits are still essential to a bright, healthy smile.
Fluoride Application
Fluoride is a compound that contains fluorine, a natural element. Using small amounts of fluoride on a routine basis can help prevent tooth decay. In areas where fluoride does not occur naturally, it may be added to community water supplies. Research shows that water fluoridation has lowered decay rates by 50 percent, which means that fewer children grow up with cavities. Fluoride can be found as an active ingredient in may dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, gels and varnish.
How does fluoride prevent cavities?
Fluoride inhibits loss of minerals from tooth enamel and encourages remineralization (strengthening areas that are weakened and beginning to develop cavities). Fluoride also affects bacteria that cause cavities, discouraging acid attacks that break down the tooth. Risk for decay is reduced even more when fluoride is combined with a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.
How safe is Fluoride?
Using fluoride for the prevention and control of decay is proven to be both safe and effective. Nevertheless, products containing fluoride should be stored out of reach of young children. Too much fluoride could cause fluorosis of developing permanent teeth. Fluorosis usually is mild, with tiny white specks or streaks that often are unnoticeable. In severe cases of fluorosis, the enamel maybe pitted with brown discoloration. Development of Fluorosis depends on the amount, duration and timing of excessive fluoride intake. The appearance of teeth affected by fluorosis can be greatly improved by a variety of treatments in esthetic dentistry.
What type of toothpaste and how much should my child use?
Your child should use a toothpaste with fluoride and the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. For children under two years of age, use a smear of fluoridated toothpaste. For those aged two to five years, a pea-sized amount is recommended.
Oral Hygiene and Nutrition Information
What we give our kids to eat and snack on affects the health of not only their bodies but also their teeth. Depending on the type of food and if they snack between meals can have direct influence on tooth decay. Foods to be avoided: *
- Candy (especially hard and sticky candies like lollipops, taffy, and caramel)
- Sugary/Acidic drinks (soda, lemonade, juice)
- Dried Fruits/Rasins
- Fruit snacks/roll-ups (Sticky or gummy fruit snacks)
- Cookies/Sweetened Breads or Crackers
- Pre-Sweetened Cereal
- Foods with added sugars
- Granola Bars
All of these foods have sugars and/or carbohydrates that the bacteria in your mouth uses as food. By cutting back on these types of foods you can lower your child's risk of cavities. Foods that can promote healthy teeth:
- Cheese, Milk, Plain Yogurt
- Leafy Greens, Fresh Fruit and Veggies
- Meat, Poultry, Fish, and Eggs
- Nuts and Seeds
- Popcorn (in place of chips and crackers)
- Products containing Xylitol (gum, vitamins, mints, toothpaste)
Whole foods, fruit and vegggies can help strengthen your child's body and teeth.Flossing and brushing twice a day along with good nutrition will lead to cavity free smiles!
X Rays
In general, children need X-rays more often than adults. Their mouths grow and change rapidly. They are more susceptible than adults to tooth decay. For children with high risk of tooth decay, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends X-ray examinations every six months to detect cavities developing between the teeth. Children with a low risk of tooth decay require X-rays less frequently.
Should X-ray films be taken if my child has never had a cavity?
X-ray films detect much more than cavities. For example, X-rays may be needed to survey erupting teeth, diagnose bone diseases, evaluate the results of an injury, or plan orthodontic treatment. X-rays allow dentists to diagnose and treat conditions that cannot be detected during a clinical examination. If dental problems are found and treated early, dental care is more comfortable and affordable.
How safe are dental X-rays?
Pediatric dentists are particularly careful to minimize the exposure of child patients to radiation. With contemporary safeguards, the amount of radiation received in a dental X-ray examination is extremely small. In fact, dental X-rays represent a far smaller risk than undetected and untreated dental problems.
What safeguards are used to protect my child from X-ray exposure?
Lead body aprons and shields help protect your child. Today's equipment filters out unnecessary X-rays and restricts X-ray beam to the area of interest. High-speed film, digital X-rays, and proper shielding assure your child receives a minimal amount of radiation exposure.
Oral Health Assessment
In order to be able to perform well in a school setting it is important for your child to be pain free. Children with cavities have difficulty eating, may stop talking or smiling, and have problems paying attention and learning at school. Tooth decay is an infection that can cause pain and serious illness if not properly treated. California law requires that children entering their first year of school have a check by May 31 of that said year. If the child has had an evaluation within the previous 12 months the requirement will be filled. Give your child the head start they deserve in school by ensuring a healthy mouth
Mouth Guards
Did you know that about 39 percent of dental injuries to children are from sports? Using a mouth guard is an easy and effective way of protecting your child's teeth and gums from injury. At Growing Smiles Dentistry we can make a custom mouth guard for your child. Children with braces can also be made a custom mouth guard.
