I've been waiting for this feature for ages. I've been synchronizing my calendar between Google and my BlackBerry, but have been missing the ability to sync my contacts as well – especially because my BlackBerry now refuses to connect to my PC (some "unknown USB device" error…uff). While the iPhone gets all the cool apps, I'm happy to see we at least finally get the "basics."
If you are like me and use a boring BlackBerry, here's the link to the new version of Google sync with calendar and contacts:Google Sync for BlackBerry

GAM'S Must-Play: The Lynx in Otsego is Looking Great
OTSEGO – With each day, each trimmed away tree and mowing, each improvement project in and around The Lynx Golf Course, the vision of Jim Szilagyi and his partners becomes clearer.
A premier customer-friendly golf destination, a must-play public daily fee golf venue and Golf Association of Michigan member course is being polished and prepared in the Southwest corner of Michigan, just five minutes from U.S. 131, 22 minutes from Kalamazoo and 35 minutes south of Grand Rapids.
"We've made some dramatic improvements so the golfer can see the gorgeous scenery here, the great natural elevation changes, a place where the game can be enjoyed by everybody in the family and for various reasons," said Szilagyi, who with a partnership group purchased the course in 2013.
"We went to work on opening up some areas so the golfer can hit the ball and find it, and we changed things around in the clubhouse, changed the menu, started providing high quality service, really tried to make it a more comfortable place, a more fun place. It's getting better each day."
The Szilagyi group is the third group of owners of the 16-year-old course designed and built by Charlie and Jon Scott, and the new owners want you to be able to see the sweeping elevation changes, the park-like setting that gives way at times to the isolated hilly style of golf golfers are more apt to find in Northern Michigan.
The sweeping No. 10 hole with its 85-foot drop is offered with an even better look with some trimming back of trees and vegetation. It's also much easier for golfers to find wayward shots as well.
Weddings are often held at The Lynx where great vistas abound, and a new chapel area is being constructed behind the 18th green to offer even more options. Yes, golfers can take the plunge on the No. 10 tee that plunges into the beauty of West Michigan.
"The golfer can get married here, play here, eat here, bring his family here, it's that kind of place we are providing," Szilagyi said.
The golf happens on a 6,471-yard layout that has four tee positions moving up to 4,429 yards and slope ratings from a high challenge of 141 to 109 for the golfers on the other end of the spectrum.
"We're improving the conditioning and the design speaks for itself," Szilagyi said. "We just had to open things up, like the holes that run along the Kalamazoo River. You can see the river now and it's a special part of the golf course."
Szilagyi grew up in the Detroit area, the son of a PGA Golf Professional Bob, who managed two prominent courses in his career – Salem Hills in Northville and Godwin Glen in South Lyon until his retirement. He said he often talked with his father about owning a course one day to provide the best for golfers.
"My father was immersed in every element of golf club operation, from advice on the swing to the grass on the course," he said. "He knew what golfers cared about and the things you had to provide to get them to play your course and come back to play again."
Szilagyi is a first-time golf course owner, but well known in Michigan golf through his father, his career in broadcast sales in Detroit, his top golf abilities in the Michigan Publinx Golf Association, his service on the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame Board not to mention his two-sport participation in college days at Central Michigan University. He golfed and played defensive back on CMU's 1974 Division II national championship team.
"I love Michigan and I love golf and I want The Lynx to reflect that," he said.
His staff reflects his goals and background. He hired Gene Bone II as his head golf professional. Bone is the son of a Michigan Golf Hall of Famer and golf professional. Bill Eitel, after a long career at the former Hidden Valley Golf Course, is the golf course superintendent.
"We're of one mind as to what it takes to shape The Lynx into one of the best golf clubs and facilities in Michigan," Szilagyi said.
The course can be found on your GPS at 900 Lincoln Road in Otsego. For information visit www.lynxgc.com or call 269-694-5969.

Anyone with kids knows that when you lose track of them at Chuck E. Cheese's or Target, or even your own home for just a few moments, you're suddenly gripped with a kind of terror so strong that it's practically indescribable. Not knowing where your child is, feeling completely out of control, as cliché as it sounds, is a parent's worst nightmare; even those of us who don't have kids have an understanding of why parents go from zero to panic in a fraction of a second.
We're all terrified of losing our kids, and the unfortunate few who actually go through that experience will do almost anything to be reunited with their children, even if it means believing in something that, to the rest of us, seems unbelievable.
That's what takes place in Bart Layton's new true-crime documentary, The Imposter, which opens at Hillcrest Cinemas on Friday, Sept. 7. Here's the rundown: In 1994, a 13-year-old Texan named Nicholas Barclay went missing, and he wasn't heard from for more than three years. That's when he popped up in a small village in Spain, telling a tale of abduction, sex slavery and escape. Nicholas' sister, Carey, went to Spain and declared that the boy she found there was her missing brother.
It is not a spoiler to tell you— and you may have surmised this from the film's title—that the person this San Antonio family takes into its home is not, in fact, their son. Frédéric Bourdin, the 22-yearold Frenchman who passed himself off as Nicholas for several months, narrates much of the movie. A feature film about the case was made a few years ago.
Layton sets the scenes with reenactments instead of the standard talking heads. That's an interesting way to go, though in some ways it's suspect, because you never know if you're getting the real story. (It should be remembered, however, that the pioneer of documentary reenactments is Errol Morris, one of our premiere documentarians, who used the technique to free a man from Death Row in The Thin Blue Line.) One of the film's more engaging characters is Charlie Parker, a private investigator who had been involved with the search for Nicholas and was suspicious of the official word that the kid had been found.
To hear Parker describe it, it seems like a no-brainer: His family should have known that this person wasn't Nicholas. After all, there were significant physical differences between Bourdin and Nicholas, and his accent sounded French, rather than Spanish. Sure, some of these you might chalk up to the passage of time (he was just 13 when he went missing, remember); others you might think could be overlooked by a family so desperate to learn that their son is alive. More than likely, it's a combination of those things. Layton's film plays out like a thriller, but it also points out that people are fragile creatures who are often willing to lie to themselves to avoid the truth.
Bourdin himself has a theory about why he was able to get away with his ruse for so long, and it implicates the family in Nicholas' disappearance. That would seem to be precisely what a guy like Bourdin would say. He is, after all, a professional con artist, and he's convincing enough that you see why he's had so much success in his profession. At the same time, you must always remember that the director has given a sociopath, who's at once charming and creepy—someone you should automatically assume is an unreliable narrator—a microphone, and while it's interesting to hear what he has to say, he probably shouldn't be believed.

Alpine Convention strengthens co-operation between neighbouring countries
The Platform "Ecological Network" co-organises a workshop with practitioners and scientists in order to start answering the 50 most important questions on Alpine ecological connectivity (see news on this issue).
For the period 2013-2014 the presidency of the "Ecological Network" Platform of the Alpine Convention will be shared between Germany and France, with Marie-Odile Guth from the French Ministry of Ecology acting as chair. The next meeting of the Platform will take place on 18 June in Prato di Resia, Italy.
According to the mandate given by the Alpine Convention, the work programme of the Platform will focus on cross-border co-operation between neighbouring states on the topic of ecological connectivity based on the "connectivity analysis" realised for the Platform in 2012. The Alpine pilot regions for ecological connectivity - key partners in the implementation of an Alpine ecological network - will also be at the centre of the Platform's work. The Platform will strongly support the development of new projects, offering the pilot regions opportunities for further implementing activities that support ecological connectivity in their areas.

A pair of dark SUVs tracked a silver Mercedes-Benz C350 through the streets, then bracketed it in a left turn lane at Granville Street and 70th Avenue. At 2:15 a.m. yesterday, with the busy intersection almost vacant, a shooter got out of one of the SUVs and fired repeatedly through the passenger window of the trapped sports sedan.
When Vancouver Police Department Deputy Chief Doug LePard looked through the shattered window of the Mercedes that morning, he saw a scene that has become numbingly familiar in a city wracked by violence - the bullet-riddled bodies of two young men.
It was the latest hit in a wave of gang killings sweeping Greater Vancouver, and it went down with chilling precision leaving two dead and bringing the body count in recent weeks to 10.
Police responded with a plea to gang members to rethink their lifestyle and a warning that gangs are now the police department's top priority.
"I was at the scene early this morning and I would just like to give one last message to those who think that the gang lifestyle is appealing," Deputy Chief LePard said at a news conference.
"Looking at those two young men in their car this morning, full of bullet holes, they didn't look glamorous at all."
"So those who think that the gang lifestyle is for them, I think that they need to think about what the odds are of ending up like those two young men this morning," Deputy Chief added.
Dead in the car were Ronal Shakeel Raj, 31, of Surrey, who was driving, and Ali Abhari, 25, of Kelowna.
Both were known to police, and they have become the latest statistics in a dramatic string of shootings that two days earlier left Raymond Huang, 51, dead in front of his Shaughnessy mansion, just an eight-minute drive from the latest homicide scene.
Mr. Raj's wife, Neha Sehgal-Raj, said that she knew something was wrong yesterday when she recognized her husband's car and licence plate on the morning news. She had spoken to him just moments before, when he had told her he was on his way home.
"I wished I wasn't seeing that and I was hoping it wasn't him," she told The Globe and Mail last night, surrounded by family and friends at her Port Moody home. "And I was hoping that he would just come through the door and just be like, 'somebody else was driving my car.' "
But it was him, and Ms. Sehgal-Raj, 24, who is pregnant with the couple's first child, was trying to come to terms with having to raise her baby without a father.
She described Mr. Raj, who owned a truck and worked for ACE Career, as a family man, who was just days away from opening his own construction company. She said the news media has portrayed him as someone he wasn't.
"He's very hard working, he's not always partying and being flashy and spending thousands of dollars. He's nothing like that. He'll spend on his family, take care of his family," she said, adding he adored his two younger sisters and brother.
"Yeah, he has friends, and he may be friends with people who, you know, have that lifestyle. But I don't think he should be judged upon that."
Other killings have taken place in busy Vancouver restaurants and, in one shocking incident in nearby Surrey, six men - including two innocent passersby - were killed in a condominium.
The heads of police departments throughout the Lower Mainland were meeting yesterday to come up with a united gang front, and Deputy Chief Bob Rich said the Vancouver department is forming a special task force that will be going after gang members wherever they can be found.
"The task force will be very much an in-your-face style of task force. It will be confronting people who are gangsters who are moving about our streets. We'll be checking on where they live ... and letting them know that these activities are just not acceptable," Deputy Chief Rich said.
Although the recent killings were gang-on-gang violence, police realize more innocent people could die if the shootings continue.
"We ... want the public to know that even though the majority of these shootings are gang-related, we are not minimizing the threat that this poses to the public. The public needs to know that we are going to take every step to ensure their safety," Deputy Chief Rich said.
Deputy Chief LePard said several gangs appear to be shooting each other over various disputes and perhaps in retaliation for other killings. But he dismissed the idea of one gang fighting another for control of territory.
"I would not use the term gang war," he said. "What I would say is that there clearly is a conflict between two or more gangs that's occurring right now, and it seems that it's all too common that the way they settle disputes, and even seemingly minor disputes, is with violence and gunplay.
Some news reports have linked Mr. Huang to the Big Circle Gang, a Chinese-organized crime syndicate, but Deputy Chief LePard said he was unaware of any such connection.
"There are a number of gangs involved in this that you have probably heard of. One gang that is certainly involved and has been involved in some violent incidents is the UN Gang," he said.

7 Sneaky Foods That Fill You Out
You've worked hard to stay trim all year, but lately, you may have been seeing the numbers on the scale creep up. Blame it on the gatherings and vacations that put tempting nibbles within easy reach the past few months -- bites that may not even seem sinful at first glance! To reverse weight gain, skip these party foods that can sabotage your waistline and choose healthier options instead.
1. Sugar-Free Ice Cream
You think you're making the right choice by selecting the frozen treat with no added sugar, but it may feel less satisfying and make you dig deeper into the tub. "Have 4 ounces of regular ice cream rather than sugar-free, and limit it to once a week," says Beth Warren, a registered dietitian based in New York City.
2. Buttered Corn on the Cob
It's not the ear itself that gets you in trouble: It's the butter you slather on top of it that can double or even triple the total amount of calories you're consuming. Season this summer staple with herbs and spices, like rosemary or paprika, instead.
3. Guacamole
Avocados are a source of heart-healthy fats, but just one avocado -- an easy amount to consume when you're dipping -- can pack more than 300 calories and half your daily requirement of fat! Eat no more than a quarter of an avocado per day (equivalent to just a few dips) or skip this dip altogether and opt for a lower-calorie fresh salsa instead, says Warren.
4. Potato Salad
Potatoes themselves are a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C, but if you add mayonnaise, you ratchet up the fat and calories. A better bet if you're making the potato salad yourself: Mix with a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder and cumin instead of mayo, says Warren. Be sure to leave the skins on for maximum nutrition.
5. Salad Toppings
You may already know to watch out for fattening salad dressings, but the bacon, cheese and croutons you toss into your dish add both calories and saturated fat. Keep your greens lean and healthy by topping them with grilled chicken, eggs and an assortment of seasonal veggies instead.
6. Baked Beans
You think you're being savvy by shunning the rack of ribs and choosing protein-packed side dishes instead, but canned baked beans may contain added sugar. For your next shindig, make your own fresh bean salad with black, kidney, cannellini or garbanzo beans, says Warren.
7. Cold Drinks
A glass of lemonade, an ice-cold beer or a fruity sangria are all refreshing, but it's easy to forget how many calories you are consuming through liquids. If ice water doesn't excite you, touch it up with slices of lemon, lime or oranges, and top it with a little bit of seltzer.
Alternatively, if you're someone who loses control around these fiesta-inspired snacks (we totally understand!), be sure to eat a snack or small meal beforehand so you don't arrive ravenous. A small bowl of cereal with milk or yogurt is healthy and filling, and it might just do the trick to keep you lean all season.

text: Presenting in a transformed shed in a location outside the main building of Carriageworks, the SS collection from Manning Cartell featured an exciting collection of new fabrics and prints. Above are a snapshot of a few of my favourite looks. In particular, I loved the boxy overcoats with the zip down front shown in peach and off white. If only these pieces came in store for Winter, I can see it working so beautifully with the gloomy weather. You'd be a walking reflector! The cropped tops adorned with jewel fronts were also so beautiful in real life. I also loved the use of sheer mesh for sleeving (if that's a word at all?) and the sandal heels. Sometimes I'm so drawn into looking at the garments that I forget to notice the shoes. Seeing the SS collection at MBFWA makes me wish I could just skip Winter all together and jump straight into a never-ending loop of Spring then Summer. But don't we all want that!

Here is a few of our recent customers that have been lovely enough to leave a comment or two
Love this salon, great staff, great hair!
First time here today. Walked away from the salon loving my hair! Thank you so much.
Excellent service love my hair extensions and they make you feel relaxed and very welcome. 100% recommend any one to go there they never stop.
I would really like to thank the lovely team at HeadOffice Hair-Salon for pampering me on Saturday. The lovely Tongjai Roberts realised it was my birthday and did a very special thing for me. I was so touched by how thoughtful she was that I started to blush and almost cried. I had a lovely time chatting away to Charlotte who always makes me laugh while she works on my mountain of hair. I have beautiful hair extensions that are done by Marie Sibilska and I honestly cannot imagine anyone else doing them for me as the hair is high quality human hair and it looks and feels amazing. Marie is also fantastic at colour matching your hair to the extension hair so that it blends beautifully. Sian Mcginney curled my hair and it looked absolutely gorgeous and then she plaited my fringe for me to add some style to my hair (that I stole off Charlotte because I always like what she does with her hair). I would highly recommend HeadOffice Hair-Salon because their customer service is second to none as they are so warm, welcoming and friendly. They have extremely high standards which I love and the quality of their work is always excellent. I love this salon and can not imagine going elsewhere. So if you haven't already tried them, then you should pick up your phone and book an appointment because you won't be disappointed. Thank you for putting a smile on my face every week
Had my hair done today by Kelly and I absolutely love it! Definitely won't be going anywhere but here now.

Among the most simple and popular ways to started building a passive recurring earnings stream online is to begin a site or blog site.
However there's a lot details out there therefore many different alternatives and instructions … where do you even start? Bluehost Mx Records
Well, I know it may appear a little bit overwhelming on the surface area, particularly if you're brand new to making loan online, but just like the majority of things in life, so long as you have the RIGHT info, it's really quite easy.
Essential Tools You'll Need
So, first off, you'll need a few necessary tools to get started. The very first is a domain (the real URL that people enter to access your website) and you'll likewise need a hosting account (this is where all the files of your website are saved – websites, images, videos, and so on).
Domain Name
The first is thing you will need is your domain name. This is simply the URL that people will type in to get to your site. For example http://myveryfirstwebsite.com.
Now, if you buy your hosting account initially, they'll generally throw in one domain for free. When I initially started that's what I did. Today I would extremely recommend keeping your domains separate from your hosting accounts. This makes it much easier to move domains or redirect domains to various hosting moving forward. In some cases you might wish to change hosting companies due to a problem with support or that particular hosting supplier.
And similar to there are a number of terrific hosting companies, there are likewise several domain registrars you can go through to buy your domain.
But the one I like the most is Namecheap. They're really easy to use and they have good support.
To find your domain, you may already have one in mind, so you if that's the case you can just search for it using their website to see if it's available.
If it's not, you can either go with an alternative domain extension like .net or .org or many times Namecheap will give you recommendations and suggestions based on what you typed in.
A tool that you may also find useful when coming up with a name for your website or blog is LeanDomainSearch.com.
I know there are a lot of domain extensions out there these days, but if possible I would still do my best to find either a .com, .net, or .org.
Web Hosting
Just like there are several options when it comes to where to register your domains at, there are a whole bunch of hosting providers.
Some are good. Some are bad. And some are just ok.
I personally like to go with companies that have been in business for years and years and have solid support and feedback.
There are several great solutions out there, and each reputable one has their strengths and weaknesses. But if you are planning on using your hosting for a few basic blogs or websites, and maybe you're expecting a few thousand visitors each month to each of your sites, I would go with a hosting provider like SiteGround.
They've been around for a number of years. They've got solid support. And particularly if you're just beginning, you're going to remain in great hands with your website, without having be some techno nerd when it comes servers and things like that.
Things To Consider Before You Invest In Hosting
Do you need an SSL?
If you're going to be selling anything directly on your website, not affiliate items, however anything e-commerce, where you're offering an item straight on your site and accepting payment, you will probably wish to consider purchasing an SSL certificate. This is how you get the "https://" on in the URL of your site instead of "http://" and adds and extra layer of protection for visitors and customers of your website.
Most of the time a FREE SSL certificate is include in your hosting package. To double check it should tell you if you do or not on the hosting plan comparison on the site. If you don't see it though or are not sure, just reach out to support and they will be able to point you to a package that does…and sometimes the SSL certificate may be an additional amount…it all varies on the hosting provider.
An alternative to purchasing an SSL certificate is to use a service called Cloudflare. Cloudflare helps to protect your site viruses, bots and malware and also gives you a free SSL certificate.
You'll need to point your domain to Cloudflare and then Cloudflare to your hosting account. It's very simple and you should be able to find instructions on how to do that either on YouTube or by reaching out to your web host.
What Is A CDN And Do I Need One?
CDN stands for contend delivery network and is basically techno babble meaning your site is going to load a lot faster. The way a material delivery network works is that your site is cached on several servers all over the world, so if somebody accesses your website from Italy, the CDN is going to pack your website for that user from it's closest place to Italy, so that it loads in the shortest amount of time for that user, so that they have the very best possible experience with your site.
We're generally talking about microseconds here, but this becomes more and more important the more visitors you attract to your site. Bluehost Mx Records
Some web hosts have actually CDNs integrated in to their network however then if your site begins to simply go viral and get lots of traffic you might wish to consider either a host that focuses on and is known for the CDN or upgrade your hosting package/plan at your present company.
Connecting Your Domain To Your Hosting Account
So, just to recap, I would find and register your domain name FIRST. Again, I recommend using Namecheap.
And then once you have your domain, you can sign up for your hosting account. For this I recommend going with SiteGround.
Alternative Hosting Solutions
SiteGround is just one of many hosting providers out there. These are a couple other alternative options you may want to consider:
[easy-pricing-table id="9188″]
As you're creating your SiteGround hosting account, there will be an option to select if you'd like to setup a brand new domain with SiteGround or if you have an existing domain that you would like to point to your hosting account. You'll select the option that you already have a domain and just want to point it to the account you're setting up.
Pointing Your Domain Nameservers To Your Hosting Account
Okay, this sounds really technical and complex, but it's actually quite simple.
So, once you've got your domain name and hosting, you need to point your domain to your hosting account, so that when people type in your URL (http://myveryfirstwebsite.com) it actually pulls up your website content instead of just the parked domain page from your domain registrar.
For instructions on how to do this, watch the video below…
TIP: When selecting a hosting account, I highly suggest opting for a plan that allows you to have endless domains (since most people ultimately have more than one). So, if you do this, it's actually simple to add extra domains to your account. You'll simply go to your cPanel or back office dashboard and click the button that states something just like "add domain" and you'll type in the URL of the domain and include it to your account. Then you'll have to point the nameservers of that new domain from your domain registrar to your hosting account, similar to you provided for the original domain you added. And now you have more than one domain indicated your hosting account!
How Much Does Web Hosting Cost?
One of the reasons beginning a blog or site is among the best online services to start is since of the really low startup expense.
The rates of the majority of hosting plans is normally just a couple of dollars each month, or you can pay for a year or 2 upfront and save a percentage.
Every hosting business has various names for their plans and packages, however I would begin with whatever package permits you to host limitless domains.
Looking For Hosting Coupons And Deals?
Compared to other businesses you can start online, a hosting account is already one of the most economical things you can invest in … but to make it even more affordable, there's generally lots of offers and discount rates that you can find.
If you're setting up a new account, you can usually find coupons, discounts, promos, or special Black Friday deals posted to popular deal sites like RetailMeNot.
Need Additional Help Or Have Questions While Selecting Your Hosting Package?
If you have other specific questions during the hosting signup process you have several options to get your questions answered.
The first place to check are the host's FAQs (frequently asked questions) and knowledge base. Here you'll find answers and solutions to many of your common questions.
But if for some reason you don't discover what you're trying to find there, you can connect to support directly by emailing, calling or sending a message through live chat.
The host's contact info should be prominently shown on their website. But I've discovered that live chat usually gets the best and fastest action to any concern.
Installing WordPress On Your Blog
Once you've got your hosting account setup, the next thing you'll want to do is install WordPress.
This is actually really simple and if you login to your SiteGround back office or cPanel, you should see an option somewhere to install WordPress with 1-click. If you can't find this option, reach out to support and they'll be happy to assist you.
But doing this will install WordPress on your site/blog.
There are other blogging platforms such as Joomla and Drupal, but WordPress is by far the easiest to use and most popular blogging platform. It also has way more templates and plugins than the other two, so that's why I recommend going with WordPress.
Setting Up Your WordPress Theme
Ok, so now you have WordPress installed, but you don't want your site to be just some basic generic template. You want to be unique and somewhat customized.
That's where WordPress themes come in.
Now, there are FREE WordPress themes and there are Premium WordPress themes.
There are a couple of great FREE ones, however, if your site is going to be an authority site or blog site in your specific niche (essentially you're going to put a lot of effort and time into releasing great content on it and making certain people can find it in the search engines) then I would EXTREMELY recommend going with a Premium WordPress style.
When I developed my very first WordPress website, I was extremely low-cost and used the very best FREE styles I could discover, but after some time I understood it's much more worth it to spend $40-$100 one-time on a high quality Premium WordPress theme that's going to give me the capability to tailor it just how I want, and that I can use on all my other sites.
There are a lot of great Premium WordPress themes and websites out there, but here are a couple that I really like:
Essential WordPress Plugins
Once you've got your theme selected and installed, I recommend installing a few WordPress plugins.
Plugins basically just give extended and enhanced features to WordPress.
There are tons of them out there and I don't want to overload you with gobs to install, but these are a few that I install on most all of my sites and I recommend doing the same.
Akismet – helps protect your blog against comment spam
All-in-One SEO Pack – recommended plugin for optimizing your site content to rank in search engines
Google Analytics by Monster Insights – makes it super easy to connect your Google Analytics account to your site or blog, so that you can track your website traffic and get insights into the kinds of keywords that people are typing in to find your website
Limit Login Attempts – helps to keep out bots and hackers from getting into your site
URL Rotator – really helpful tool for cloaking links and making them prettier, especially if you're doing affiliate marketing
WP Zero Bounce – redirects the user if they come to your site and hit the back button (very useful for affiliate marketing)
Creating And Adding Google-Friendly Content To Your Website
Now that you have actually got your website all setup and your style and plugins all installed, you're 95% there.
The main point left to do is to just include material.
If you're on a bootstrap budget plan or just truly prefer to write, you can create the material yourself.
However if you have a budget to work with and you're not a writer, you may consider contracting out niche associated articles based around the subject or theme of your site.
If you're considering having someone else write content for you, here are a few websites I recommend:
iWriter – This is a very affordable marketplace for outsourcing content. I would go for articles that are 1000 words or more and only work with writers that have a 4 star rating or above. You can get content written cheaper, but these are a few good metrics to start with.
BKA Content – Tf you have a more technical or specialized niche or topic, I would use these guys. They are more expensive, but in my experience they do a very good job and the quality is generally much higher than if you went to an article marketplace.
Format For Outsourcing Articles
My template for what I give writers when outsourcing articles is very simple.
I first decide what keyword, phrase or topic I want the writer to write on…
And then I give them this template:
Article Title
Conclusion Paragraph/Call To Action
It's very simple and is essentially the same format as all the papers or essays you probably had to write in grade school.
That's it. Don't overthink it.
If You're Writing Your Article Yourself
Now, without getting all technical and diving really deep into SEO (search engine optimization) and how Google ranks content in it's search engine, what Google is looking for is really pretty simple.
Google's main objective is to deliver the best possible search result to the user for the specific search phrase they typed in.
So, if you've got the most relevant article out there, with the most value and information about that specific topic…YOU WIN!!
So, how do you do that?
The way I would recommend going about this is to first do some research.
I like to use a keyword tool called KeywordTool.io, which gives you a list of long tail search phrases that people type in related to the keyword you search for.
For instance, if you were to type in "siteground" it knows that the most relevant results for the keyword "siteground" are all related to the hosting company. So, it's going to give you a huge list of relevant keywords that people are typing into Google about that particular subject or phrase.
Exactly what I prefer to do is the copy that list of keywords into a note pad and begin to cherry pick ones that I can write a really meaty short article about.
I'll group associated keywords into areas and those will be my paragraphs and subheads.
And then as soon as you go through and outline the instructions and circulation of the article you're going to compose, you now have a blueprint for exactly what to write … you merely just elaborate on each of the keywords and prior to you understand it you'll have a truly comprehensive short article that answers the questions of several of the long tail search phrases that people commonly enter about that specific topic.
These are the sort of posts that Google loves. It would much rather rank one great post for lots and lots of keywords than several short articles and pieces of content for particular search phrases.
So, by putting a little bit of extra work in on the front end and doing what most other people won't take the time to do, you'll really set yourself apart from your competition and you'll see the organic traffic naturally start to pour in over time, without the need to purchase expensive backlinks to boost your pages in the SERPS.
Using Backlinks To Boost Your Search Engine Ranking
Now, I simply pointed out that if you structure your articles properly and concentrate on crafting a truly comprehensive piece of content that targets much of the search phrases that most people enter about that topic, that alone will solve a lot of your SEO and ranking problems.
However, if you do that and you're website still isn't really ranking for they keyword you desire it to … or possibly that specific niche is relatively competitive, the only method to enhance your article or site is to obtain external backlinks (other authority sites) point to it.
Traditionally this was done through guest publishing on other relevant blog sites and websites, but this is incredibly challenging to make happen and super lengthy.
So, the best option (which is actually also way easier) is to just buy authority links from other sites.
There's several options out there for this but these are a few of my faves:
Blackhatlinks – A great place for affordable wiki, bookmark and social signals links.
Fiverr – Another great option for affordable social signals and bookmarks. Their site search kind of sucks, but if you use the categories and sort by top rated you'll usually find the best gigs that way.
The HOTH – You can also buy social signals and all other types of links here, but this is a solid source for powerful high authority backlinks, which can really give your site a boost. These links are called HOTHBlitz.
Additional Hosting Information
Setting Up A Custom Email Address With Your New Domain
So, up until now you've probably just used free email providers for receiving email, but now that you've got your own custom domain name, you may want to have people email you at something like "[email protected]" and add that email to business cards. So, there's actually several different ways that you can go about doing that.
Option 1
If you chose Namecheap for your domain registrar you can actually setup a custom email address within your Namecheap account and have it all hosted there. You can either redirect a custom email to an existing address (free). Basically when someone emails "[email protected]" you can have it forward to an email you check regularly like a Gmail account.
OR you can setup an actual webmail account associated with that custom email address within your Namecheap account. And that option is only a few bucks per year.
Option 2
You can setup a webmail account through your hosting account. So, within your cPanel or back office you must see a section for email. If you don't, connect to support and they will assist you discover where it is.
You can setup as many email addresses and webmails as you select, and you'll have the ability to check them through your hosting account or if that's a little troublesome for you, you can also link those webmail accounts to Apple Mail or Outlook or whatever program you utilize to inspect and organize and handle your mail. There are generally support articles and tutorials in the web hosting understanding base on how to do this, however if you run into any issues, simply reach out to your hosting support and they'll have the ability to assist you out.
Option 3
And last, you can create a Gmail account using your custom domain. This is called Gmail for Business and costs between $5-$10/month but it's totally worth it if you don't want to login using the clunky hosting webmail or you don't use Apple Mail or Outlook. And with this option all your mail will be delivered to you in a familiar way, with the Gmail interface.
Using FTP Programs To Upload Your Website Files
First off…what the heck is FTP?
FTP stands for file transfer protocol and is just a fancy term for a program that communicates with your web host and allows you to upload, edit and delete files in your hosting account from your desktop, and without having to login to the cumbersome hosting back office.
FTP programs are really useful and save lots of time when adding several files to your site at once or large files.
You can use the basic file uploaders in your hosting back office to upload most files, but there is usually a file size limit for that tool. So, if you have a file that's bigger than about 500MB, you'll probably wind up having to use a FTP to transfer and add that file to your website.
FTP programs are really easy to use and there's several great options out there. If you're on a PC I recommend FileZilla and if you have a Mac I recommend Cyberduck.
You should be able to find instructions on how to use each of these on YouTube or the hosting knowledge base.
Earning Money By Promoting Hosting Companies
This whole article has been primarily about how to get setup your hosting account so that you can get started making money by driving organic traffic to website or blog, but did you know that you can actually make money by referring others to your same hosting provider?
And not only that, web hosting companies have some of the most financially rewarding affiliate programs. There are lots of popular bloggers that make six as well as 7 figures each year in commissions, referring others to hosting strategies.
Hosting is among the simplest things to offer and suggest too, since it's something that most everybody needs. If you're aiming to begin your very own site and wish to full control over every aspect of that website, then you're going to have to buy your own hosting.
So, that's simply something additional to think about as soon as you start and have whatever setup.
TIP: Another idea as far as making money from hosting is becoming a reseller. There are actually just a handful of big hosting business worldwide. The majority of other websites out there that you believe you're buying hosting from are actually just resellers of a bigger hosting company, suggesting all the back end techy stuff is maintained by the moms and dad company and the website from where you purchased your bundle or strategy from is simply spending for a reseller account from a service provider and just marking it up and offering it to you. And you can do the specific very same thing. Reseller accounts are really low-cost, as well as if you simply get a handful of companies, you can generate numerous thousand dollars each month with hardly any expense or overhead … so, that's certainly something to think about.
Just To Wrap Things Up
And that's practically all there is to it.
I know it might look like a lot if this is your very first time, but once you've bought and setup a site once or twice, it specifies to where it simply takes a few minutes.
The only time consuming part is the post composing … but, again, that can all be contracted out.
And after that if you're publishing extremely appropriate content (that resolves your visitor's concerns) on a regular basis and you're still not ranking where you wish to, just buy some backlinks and wait. Then you may have to purchase some more … and after that wait some more. But eventually you'll rank.
And if you're looking for a great tool to keep track of all of your search engine rankings without you having to manually type each phrase in and check every day, there is a great tool called ProRankTracker which keeps track of all of your rankings in one simple dashboard.
Hopefully you got a lot out of this article and it answered most of your questions about setting up your own blog or website from scratch, but if you're looking for some additional SEO tips and strategies, check out my SEO Siphon Strategy.

Photographer's Note
When I see the hard cracked clay of the dried out pans of the Namib, I think of the title of South African author Andre Brink�s book A Dry White Season and also of a poem written by Mongane Wally Serote, a black South African author writing (mostly from outside his country) during the apartheid years.
it is a dry white season
dark leaves don't last, their brief lives dry out
and with a broken heart they dive down gently headed for the earth,
not even bleeding.
it is a dry white season brother,
only the trees know the pain as they still stand erect
dry like steel, their branches dry like wire
indeed is it a dry white season
but seasons come to pass.
Here is a larger version

Hello Rosemary,
A superb capture of this beautiful arid landscape under a heavenly sky. I like very much the layering effect and more especially those wonderful saturated colours that go so well together. Excellent rendering of the textural detail in the cracked sand. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Rosemary, Only now I noticed that these are new photos, so you went to Sossusvlei again. Fascinating landscape. fantastic composition with thes white dry lake and and red dunes. Gorgeous colours.
It has been almost two years since I was there. It looks different now, water totally disappeared, almost nothing green.
I prepare my new trip in September, quite other extremity - I plan to see Russian taiga. Instead of hot desert - cold dense forests. But result is the same, it is difficult (or impossible) to live there. I went by iconic Ghan in Australia, now it is turn for transsiberian.
Warm regrads MAlgo

Hi Rosemary
The beauty in Lonliness is very striking here, a scene with no people, and a seemingly barren landscape, but still the colors are so vivid and in such beautiful contrast to each other. Such incredible blues and earths.
I remember as part of English class in school we went to see that movie of the same name, an excellent film
Have a good weekend
photoray (13981) 2014-07-25 12:03
Howdy Rosemary,
Attractive scene of the densely cracked lake bed, with the white contrasting with the red sand dunes behind, then the colorful blue sky - Nature's palette.
Well done,
holmertz (83424) 2014-07-25 12:29
Hello Rosemary,
What a nice coincidence. In 1984 I met and interviewed Mongane Wally Serote, in Botswana as far as I remember (or could it have been Zimbabwe?). I don't remember if that story was ever published, and i don't remember much what he said 30 years ago. Still it's very nice to meet him again through your note. As for the photo it shows again the stunning scenery and strong colours of Namibia. Seeing this cracked mud and the vast dunes it's hard to imagine there actually is a lot of life found here for those who know how to look for it.
Kind regards,

Hello Rosemary,
A very attractive image from Namibia. I like your composition with the parched foreground leading towards the red sandhills and the deep blue sky.
I like the association with the poem but I suspect it has an extra level of meaning associated with the apartheid era and the expected passing of "the dry white season".
Warm regards,
Hi Rosemary
A superb demonstration of color photography: deep DOF for this stunning landscape mixing dried lake and the ochre sand dunes under a deep blue skypotted with some white clouds.
thank you Mrs the professor!
HimalAnda (10671) 2014-07-26 2:40
Hello Rosemary,
The sharpness is perfect, due to the very good depth of field management, and the colors are really beautiful, with a nice saturated sky.

nature as the minimalist artist. A serenely simple landscape shot but one of intense colour, contrast and beauty. Composition, execution and presentation just perfect. Love it!
Enjoy your weekend - B.

Hi Rosemary,
Excellent wide angle shot showing the flat clay desert with huge dunes in the background. Cracks on the clay give a hint that some other time there is more water. And so do also those trees that look so small against that background.

annjackman (23019) 2014-07-26 22:34
Hi Rosemary,
This could hardly be more simple in content and yet conveys that wonderful sense of wilderness and isolation. The cracked ground looks such a harsh environment and yet I know that some animals adapt and live there although I am not sure how much is seen in the dry season. I like the line of vegetation below the dunes showing that the land is not completely barren. Gorgeous colours and superb quality.
Kind Regards, Ann
Cricri (176) 2014-07-27 9:06
Hi Rosemary
Le POV bas permet de voir les d�tails de ce sol sec et aride, de la profondeur jusqu'au dunes formidables des dunes, leurs formes et leurs couleurs, un ciel qui s'ajoute a la beaut� du paysage , merveilleuse image
Beau dimanche
jcpix (14030) 2014-07-27 10:55
Hi Rosemary,
From the smaller thumbnail image I thought it was strange you would have divided the picture in two with so much negative space...but a larger, and closer look reveals the beauty of what you've composed. Brilliant! The dry, cracked earth actually provides a nice lead-in perspective, and the colorful dunes and blue sky are about the best compliment of color you could ask for here. As the saying goes, "The devil is in the details" and this is a lovely example of the simplistic beauty that lies within. enjoy the new week ahead. Take good care.
Friendly wishes,
corjan3 (2109) 2014-07-27 18:35
Hello Rosemary,
This is one of those moments when one does not want to get technical but I have to mention the fantastic DOF you show here. Sheer beauty. Fabulous. Fantastic! And by placing the edge of the pan just about along the centre of the image you very successfully break a "rule" of photography, which testifies to the greatness of the image. Well done once again! Best wishes.

Hello Rosemary,
I can recognize the dune from your previous post. It is amazing how small it looks from the distance. I love the colours and the patterns in the foreground.

Dear Rosermary
from africa very interesting picture of nature. I really like the color of the soil. The composition is simple but successful.

ChrisJ (152524) 2014-07-31 4:02
Hello Rosemary,
The thumbnail does not do this justice. Upon opening the big picture the wonderful texture of the cracked saltpan or mud becomes readily apparent. Marvellous warm cold colour contrasts between the red sand and blue sky with good sharpness and saturation. Tfs!
delpeoples (60326) 2014-07-31 23:21
Ciao cara Rosemary
Another crack-er. Literally. The textures of that harsh cracked earth are a visual feast, my eyes hVe just swallowed them up. And the rich orange dunes, and their shapes in the background finish this work off superbly, as does the very appropriate poem from the South African writer (of whom I'd not heard). So thanks. I think this would have worked on vertical too, with the main sand dune in the centre being framed and the large foreground of cracked earth adding depth. I'll do a Workshop to see, but the moment I saw this, I immediately thought of vertical framing.
A stunning photo, one of the most interesting I've seen in ages. Also what's amazing is the stark similarity of your homeland to the desert of mine.
mayjayne (7380) 2015-05-24 9:26
Dear Rosemary,
I like the way you have used the DOF to emphasise on the cracked clay in the foreground, in contrast to the smooth sand dunes in the background. Excellent shot !

G1 - Strangers in Space
For the first time in the show's history, the TARDIS lands inside a spaceship. Judging by everyone's reaction, it would also seem to be the first time in The Doctor's history that he's landed inside a spaceship. There's also a bizarre diversion in the episode's opening TARDIS scene where everyone starts reminiscing about their adventures to date. It almost feels like they're reading an episode guide line by line from a Peter Haining book.
Once the crew leaves the TARDIS, the episode takes a creepy little turn. The two human pilots, Maitland and Carol, seem dead at first, but then suddenly awaken from what is apparently a form of suspended animation. They're prisoners on their own ship and, although we never see the aliens who have imprisoned them, the Sensorites' presence is felt throughout the episode. There's a brief shot of a Sensorite hand melting the TARDIS lock, and it's cleverly implied that they are stalking the corridors behind Barbara and Susan (even though it's the third crew member, a deranged John, who is the true culprit). It certainly enhances the mystery about the titular aliens. Unfortunately, by the end of the episode that mystery is shattered when a Sensorite makes his first appearance...
Okay, I did say at the beginning of this odyssey called The Chronic Hysteresis that I wouldn't dump on the special effects, but latex prosthetics have clearly come a long way since 1964. Despite what the Sensorites might look like, it is an unnerving final shot of the episode to see a Sensorite crawling up the outside of the spaceship to peer in the window.
The Doctor also has a strong episode, especially when he swoops in and pilots the ship away from a collision course with a planet. He looks like he's obviously flown a ship before, the way he works the controls and barks instructions to the others. It's another instance in this young series that serves to point out that The Doctor has seen and done a great deal in his life before we meet him in a London junkyard in 1963.
Overall, I get the impression that this serial isn't highly regarded, but, judging by its first episode, that opinion is in need of re-evaluation.

Sounds truly spooky--I need to start watching the recons. Too many good stories that are lost to the ages for me to pretend that they never existed. I'm off to find "Power of the Daleks."

I watched this episode by chance a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, I *wasn't* impressed. The continous ridiculous, illogical behaviour of Carol and Maitland in a situation that seems to make no sense whatsoever really ruined the initially interesting atmosphere for me. I wanted the TARDIS crew to slap some sense into Maitland but no, everyone buys into it. Good frisson-y cliffhanger, though, you're right.

Body Maps: Women Navigating the Positive Experience in Africa and Canada
Learn about the Body Maps
The images shown here were created by HIV positive women who participated in CATIE-sponsored workshops in Tanzania, Zambia and Canada. Body mapping is a form of art and narrative therapy used to gain understanding of ourselves, our bodies, and the world we live in. The body mapping process shown here was developed by Jane Solomon. She is a South African artist working with CATIE's partner in this project, the Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative (REPSSI) in southern Africa. Body mapping was first seen as an advocacy tool to bring attention to the issue of HIV/AIDS in Africa. However, it rapidly became a tool for story-telling, helping women with HIV/AIDS to sketch, paint, and put their journeys into words. The larger-than-life-sized maps stand tall, vibrant, and proud.
In these body maps, participants first outline their bodies to create highly personal self-portraits. The body mapping process includes drawing, painting, visualization exercises, group discussion, sharing, and reflection. Information about HIV, its treatment, and side effects is offered at key learning moments and in workshops during the five days that women are brought together to create and learn. There is also a lot of singing, dancing, and laughing. Body mapping, though it triggers many emotional memories, is a celebration of courage and strength.
This approach was developed by CATIE and REPSSI in the context of HIV/AIDS, but body mapping is for everyone.

Have u ever wondered about how many drops of petrol/ diesel you burn out during the day? Or how many barrels during the month? Year? Or throughout the whole life? Probably you haven't ever. You might be thinking that, since you don't own an engine driven vehicle there's no question of burning up petroleum fuel by you. But my dear friend, it's not true. The whole volume of petroleum fuel consumed by the globe divided by the total population worldwide gives you the per head consumption; irrespective of whether you have an engine driven vehicle or not.
Now let's move to the point. The sole objective of my writing this article is to let you know, how serious we need to be while spending petroleum fuels and what we can do to help out the situation. After all, little efforts do matter.
Before we delve down to the deep of the topic we need to understand the basic things like how does the petroleum fuels affect our lifestyle and what if there had not been any petroleum fuel available to us. As such it is very easy to understand the relationship between petroleum fuel and our lifestyle. Think about the truck delivering fresh fruits and vegetables from the wholesale market to the retail store from where you buy it and take it to your home. It's petroleum fuel driven. Think about the public bus(or your personal car if you are rich enough!) which you use to go to office and come back to home or to go here and there. Or the thousands of public transport vehicles plying on the roads to provide transportation service to the masses. Or the hundreds of thousands of vehicles running on the highways to make all the commodities to reach to your doorstep or thousands of industrial commodities to the proper place. Or thousands of personal cars roaming around here and there. Or the heavyweight carriers fulfilling the industrial and logistic needs. Except a very few, all of them are powered by fuels produced from petroleum crude. You might be thinking, is there any relationship between the truck delivering fruits and vegetables, or the public transport vehicles, or the industrial heavyweight carriers with my lifestyle? The answer is "yes". It does. Let's take the case of the fruit/vegetable carrier. The owner or the truck or the transporter will levy the penny spent on fuel(or a part of it) to the wholesaler or retailer or whoever is in the business. He will levy it on the price of the fruits and vegetables, which will be levied to your pocket at last. Similarly the fares charged by the public transports are decided based on the prices of fuel mainly. If fuel prices go up fares will also go up accordingly passing the burden on you and me keeping the transporters' profit same. Same is the case of industrial carriers also. The cost of fuels form a part of the cost of the item produced. If the first one goes up, later one is also bound to go up.
So, I hope till now you have understood how the usage of petroleum fuels affects our lifestyle. Each and every drop "WE" burn is going to affect our life some way of either. Note the plural form "we" in the earlier sentence. It means it is not the fact that the volume of fuel you burn will affect you and the volume I burn is going to affect me. It is the volume the whole world burns which is going to affect us.
So? What can we do now? First of all we need to have a consciousness in ourselves towards the issue and should consider it with seriousness. Each one of us should try to cut down the usage of petroleum fuels. But that obviously doesn't mean that you don't drive your own vehicle even if you need it. I mean to say that we should cut down our unnecessary usages. Below mentioned are some of the tips.
1) Tune your vehicle in a way to give maximum fuel efficiency and lower power(it is possible only if it has got some mechanically operated fuel injection system).
2) Turn off your engine in the traffic when you see a red signal. In short minimize your idle engine running time(I swear, I do it).
3) Keep your fuel filters and air filters in good condition and clean.
4) There is a relationship between the tire pressure and fuel efficiency. Area of contact of the tire with the road surface increases with decrease of tire pressure which in turn decreases fuel efficiency. Keep your tires in proper pressure.
5) Keep the car in overall good condition and well maintained.
This will help us in reducing our fuel consumption by at least certain extent. This will also help in cutting down the emission of harmful greenhouse gases and also global warming. The little effort from every one of us will add up to give some bigger good results. Petroleum crude oil is a natural resource and should be used wisely. Every one of us should understand that the crude oil reserve is limited. The human civilization is dependent on petroleum crude oil. What if there had been no crude oil reserve? Definitely we might have invented some other means of energy. Why not to do it now; since we know that crude reserve is limited.
Lets' think the whole world as our own home and start working for its well being by conserving petroleum fuels. Our future generations will bless us.

Common Sense
innerview by Meshack Blaq, pictures by Animal Chan
Hip Hop has become like WWF Wrestling. There are few artists who can hold an audience's attention for more than one hit record. There are even fewer who have the ability in this day and age to release an album that can be listened to and enjoyed in it's entirety. It's a small miracle in the year Duece triple-O that an artist has a catalogue of music that can be looked upon as a complete body of work. And out of the handful of artists or groups that meet this highest of high standard, Common has to be considered the one with yet the most promise. His 4th album, Like Water For Chocolate should be the one that takes him above-ground and beyond the tag of critically acclaimed. Somehow though, for Common it seems like no amount of Gold or even Platinum will replace his desired state of ARTISTIC EQUIPOISE
KRON: Alcoholism & Afrocentricity. Let's start with that lyric.
COMMON: Alright, in that lyric I said, "dealing with Alcoholism and Afrocentricity; a complex man showing off his simplicity. Reality is frisking me, etc." That song is called "The 6th Sense; Something You Feel' produced by Premier. I said that line because both of those are aspects in my life. I mean, I am a revolutionary and for the people's upliftment. My people first and foremost, and all mankind. But I also have certain vices and other aspects that I participate in that I don't feel is necessarily righteous, but I do it. Like drinking. I drink. When I said that line it was more about the balance. I was showin' how yea I'm a real Nigga. But I'm tryin' to uplift y'all and I'm tryin' to uplift myself.
KRON: If we could take a step by step approach to your focus, what was it on Can I Borrow A Dollar?
COMMON: It was just a young child not even focused on anything in life. Just enjoyin' Hip Hop music and enjoyin' life. I had just left college, so I was livin' the no worried life.
KRON: And then on Resurrection the Game had elevated. What would you say your focus on that second project was?
COMMON: At that point I was just tryin' to become a better artist. At the same time I started becoming a better person. Just the things I exposed myself to. Or the things I got exposed to. I started listenin' to a little more Jazz music on my own and not for any sampling purposes. I started getting' more into the Last Poets. I started getting more in tune with myself spiritually and not just following the Christian upbringing that I had. Not just sayin' Jesus is God for this reason. I'll put it this way: Resurrection was more of an understanding. I started understanding things more and actually started to apply `em more to. But it was an understanding. And the focus on that album was just to be creative and put a mark on this Hip Hop Game. And make people notice what myself and No ID was doin'.
KRON: To go even further, what would you say your focus was on One Day It'll All Make Sense? It was a very pivotal album at the time it was released.
COMMON: My focus on that was that I'm a father now and I gotta become responsible. I was real like, "Aww Man, I'm a father... I'm grown. I'm actually grown and I gotta do grown man things." And my focus was at the same time getting this message across. I was real inspired on a certain message of love and elevation. And that's what that album was based on.
KRON: I'm gonna throw out a few names of artists and I wanna get your vibes on `em in the sense of what you have in common with these artists. The Roots?
COMMON: We just got a love for creativity and a love for innovation. We love music and we got the same vision. It's like we from the same family and them my Brothas. We come from the same womb of music. We might have certain differences but we've got more similarities, which is that creative, innovative energy.
KRON: Lauryn Hill?
COMMON: Spiritual combustion. I can say that we're always striving to say something in our raps. Some people say our flows sound similar. I don't know. You think so?
KRON: Well what I'm getting at with her, The Roots, and Q-Tip, which is the last one I want to ask you; is the whole consciousness vibes.
COMMON: With Q-Tip it's inspirational to me. All those artists are an inspiration, but I grew up listening to Q-Tip. I think one similarity we have is we like trying to get fresh rhythm on the music a lot. Like using different rhythms in rhymes and doing different rhythms in my music. And we both speak up for certain things within the community. Just spiritual beings but at the same time making good music.
KRON: Who are some of the artists on this new album that you've collaborated with?
COMMON: The Roots are the only artists participating out of the artists you just named. Black Thought is on a joint with me and ?uestlove produced some tracks. Mos Def is on a track. Premier produced a track. Jay Dee from Slum Village produced like 8 or 9 joints. And James Poyser who plays keys did a track. Slum Village and a new singer named Bilal Oliver (he sang on the Single for 6th Sense) are on the album as guest artists. Jill Scott, Cee-Loo from the Goodie Mob, and Roy Hargrove (the trumpet player) appear. Then Kareem Riggins from a group called A Black Girl Named Becky produced a track that my father speaks on. D'Angelo is also on there, and Femi Kuti.
KRON: Why the title Like Water For Chocolate? Does it have anything to do with the movie?
COMMON: Of course. But in that statement the water was representing the water sign of me: the emotion within the music. And the chocolate is representing the Soul: the Blackness in this music. And in that film, this woman was a very good cook. And she was in love, but because of the tradition of her family she couldn't marry. So within the love that she had for this guy and being in love, she could only express it through meals. And each meal that she cooked; however she felt at the time is what the people who ate the meal felt. Meaning when she cried, the people who ate the meal started crying. It was symbolic in a way. I use that as a metaphor to represent what I strive for my songs to do. If I'm feeling angry, I want the people who listening to feel mad. Or if I'm feeling like, "Yo Man, this is the struggle we goin' thru. Man we gotta fight, we gotta uplift", I want them to feel that. So it was symbolic to the meals. We all cooks in this game anyway, just tryin' to put together the right thing. The face meaning is about the water sign and the chocolate to Soul. These songs are like meals for the Soul.
KRON: Everybody knows the beef between you and Cube is all squash now. So when is there gonna be a joint between you and him?
COMMON: It just has to happen naturally. Something that we both felt like we could get on it and sound good together. To me, that's what collaborations are about. It ain't about rappin' with such and such because he's large. Or that I have this person singing who already sold 5 million, so let me put them on. I feel like the collaborations need to be put together right and the songs gotta be good. First of all, Cube is somebody I grew up listening to and always respected as one of the top MC's of all time. So I'd love to do something, but it's gotta be the right joint. He's gotta be feeling it.
KRON: When you got into the Game did you ever think that Hip Hop would take it this far? And likewise but similar, did you ever think that you would be able to take it this far as an artist?
COMMON: Honestly, I wasn't thinkin' about how far Hip Hop was gonna go. I was just bein' a part of it and enjoyin' the moment, so I really didn't think like 20 or 30 years from now where is this music gonna be; where is this culture gonna be? I was just growin' with it and lettin' it naturally flow without even thinkin'. Just movin'. As far as my career goes, I feel that I'll be able to rap for as long as I want to. As long as I've got the feeling in my gut and the feelin' in my heart to try to do something new, then I feel like I could last as an MC. I feel blessed like the Supreme Being is blessing me to let me come out. I never really sold no heavy amount of records, but I still got a nice career where I could walk around and get respect, and do projects with certain people I want to work with off the love they got for me from my music. So when I look at my career I'm happy. This is the way it was supposed to be. I don't look back on none of the moves made and be like, "Damn, why did that happen?" At the end of the day I realize that it was something that needed to be done for me to grow and for whatever reason it happened; for whatever reason that God had planned. I mean, I ain't gonna want to be 45 and havin' to rap for money. But I could see myself around still writin' because creativity keeps you youthful. This is an everlasting culture because it's a revolutionary culture. When you got the youth runnin' it, it's always gonna be fresh and new things coming about. And because this culture is radical and the core of it is grassroots, it's gonna always be regeneratin' and recreatin' different things. And when you look at what it has done to unite different cultures, it's like Damn!
KRON: Even though this is your fourth album and you don't have any gold or platinum plaques from previous albums, are you Mad like the Rapper?
COMMON: Nah Man. I'm happy with where I am. I'm able to take care of myself and my family. I've got dreams still. I got vision and I still got hunger. I could've came out came out and blew up with Can I Borrow A Dollar and went straight to the top. Then there wouldn't be nowhere else to go but down. Usually that's how it goes for a young 19 year old who was wild and just comin' off the brink of drinkin' and fightin' and fuckin' and kickin' it, and all that shit. I didn't need that type of success at that time in my life. I had to come to this point for a certain reason. Now I think I built myself a base where I may be blessed enough to have longevity because I have a certain fan-base that's gonna be there. I think some of the people in the industry see the work and the effort I've put in, and I think some of the masses see it as well. People appreciate that, but that don't necessarily mean they gon' buy the record. But they still pay attention.
KRON: Over the years in your career have you ever been frustrated to the point of, or even tempted by the spirit of Pop Hits and Commercialism to go that route? You've always remained constant.
COMMON: At times I felt like I wish my shit was as large as Biggie or 2Pac or whoever it was at the time. I ain't never really been like tryin' to make one of them records in the Pop vein. But I do need to make something that people could dance to. I have been like that but I can't really do it because I don't make good records by sittin' there plannin' it as a Hit single. I really ain't been the best planner as far as singles go. But I have been driven by the spirit to make dance music: just not corny dance music. In fact the major difference with this album from any albums I've done is that I think this one has more music that you can bounce to and dance to.
KRON: You've toured extensively and are well known throughout the Underground. So tell us how an artist such as yourself deals with the "Conscious Groupie Female"? What are some of the lines you've heard on their approach to try to get at a Brotha?
COMMON: They come at me all the time with lines like, "Aww, you such a Spiritual Brotha. You changed my life." (He's laughing) Some of 'em be serious, but then some of 'em at the end of the day wanna fuck just like some of these other girls. They just wanna get out and bone, just like that. But they do everything like, "Oh, I wanna know what can I do to improve on myself?" Or, "Where do you get your hats made at?" (We all laugh) Just stuff that you know they comin' sideways with. Or they ask me all type of stuff like, "What's up with you & Lauryn? What's your religion?" Or a lot of 'em will hit me with, "Oh, I thought you were spiritual" because I'll be out drinkin' or something. And I'll tell `em, "I am spiritual but I still get drunk!" I kick it and I ain't perfect. That's what this album is about; balance. It's no person on this earth that has no flaws. We're all striving towards perfection, or should be.
KRON: What's up with the Hometown?
COMMON: It's like Chicago is the foundation. It's home regardless. It shaped me as one of those situations that helped shape my life. And Chicago is gonna always be in me no matter where I go. It's important because I get disappointed and sometimes salty at the fact that some people be like, "Man, why you move to New York?" I could sum it up in a couple of reasons why. But the business is more lucrative and the people that I'm dealing with are based out here. In Chicago, I may call and they don't even take your calls. But if I go up to they office in Manhattan, they can't run. Realistically, you wanna sit and look them executives in they eye so you know when they lyin'. Or you'll know when they're telling the truth. Plus I've done more work in the last year on collaborations and other people's projects from me bein' out here than ever before. It ain't like I'm hollerin' Brooklyn or talkin' with a New York accent or none of that shit. It was a business move and I plan to take the business back to Chicago once I come up to a level where I'm straight and my family is straight. Then I can really do something with other artists from there. It's really gonna be meaningful to give them the opportunity to really get they stuff out. But I was just ridin' on the Underground, Man. There was only but so much I could do. Until my food was cooked, I couldn't really focus on nobody else's meal. I can help out a little bit by puttin' my Man on a song here or there. But I can't really teach one the business until I know it myself.
KRON: Have you ever met the West Coast Reggae band called Common Sense?
COMMON: No, but I would love to meet 'em. Let me just leave it like that (he laughs). Nah, I talked to 'em 'cause I was tryin' to make it so we both could co-exist. Right now they're non-existent in the industry anyway. They might as well had let me have the name and just try to make money off me. Regardless of what name I go by, I'm still Common Sense. People know me as Common Sense and I'll always be Common Sense. I wasn't tryin' to step on they toes. But anyway, I've never met 'em but I feel like they was on some own-shit-vibe by not lettin' me co-exist with 'em since we not even in the same genre.

"For us, homesteading is a way to reconnect to the land – where our food comes from, how an animal is raised, how a coop can be built – and add balance to a life that has not forsaken modern conveniences. If our boys can hike a mountain trail, or milk a goat, with the same level of skill that they navigate an iPad, then we've won." ~Danielle
Danielle is the author of Paring Down, Looking Up. She lives on 5 acres in central Colorado with her husband, two boys, two dogs, three goats, twelve chickens, thousands of bees and a whole lot of deer and wild rabbits who consider their garden to be their private farmer's market.
Danielle's Story
It started with our first garden, a throwback to summers with my grandparents and a way to provide organic produce for our newborn son and us. We cleared and fenced a sun-drenched corner of our suburban backyard and my husband, Gabe, built two of the prettiest raised beds I'd ever seen. He amended the soil with a well-researched mix of peat moss and compost (thanks, Google – it does take a village!) and mulched walkways between the beds. I planted a variety of seeds and starters, and that summer resulted in a wealth of tomatoes, basil and more zucchini than I could handle. No matter that the pumpkins, strawberries and melons didn't take – we were hooked.
As the family grew, and our one boy would be joined by another, we dreamt of more space and a tangible way to connect with our days. We were two working parents with full-time, fast-paced jobs, and we knew that something had to give. So I left my ad agency job, began freelancing, and Gabe and I started the search for a new home that would allow us to grow more food and spend more time together outside. A series of unforeseen events resulted in us buying my parents' home, on 5 rural-residential acres, while they moved 4 houses down the street.
That's when everything clicked.
First came the chickens. We started with 7…and despite all of our research and preparation I promptly killed 5 chicks. Heartbroken but wiser, we hedged our bets and bought 10 additional chicks on the last weekend that they were available at the feed store, and they all survived. They started their lives like kittens, curled in the corner of a heated feeding trough until Gabe unleashed his inner (and heretofore hidden) carpenter skills and built them a 200 sq-foot chicken palace the likes of which I have never seen. Even though a pecking order exists, they still pile on top of one another and can't stand to be separated from the group. I never knew that so many bodies could fit on one roosting bar – so much for allowing extra space!
As for the homestead, it turns out chickens were our gateway animal. I hear this is common, much like the cravings induced by that first tattoo or potato chip. The chickens led to bees…bees led to more plants…a family garden went in at my parents' house 4 doors down…our own unprotected container garden has fed the deer for two summers now…and we just recently built a pen and a shed and added 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats to the mix.
So are we off-grid, totally self-sufficient, and completely in sync with the rotation of the earth? No. We still consume, both products and resources, but we are more mindful. We up-cycle and reuse more than we have in the past. We make strides to better our land, support the local flora and fauna, and we are very hands-on with how our food is grown, managed, prepared and preserved. I bought a pressure cooker…and I fully plan on reading the giant instruction manual and learning how to use it without blowing up my kitchen once our CSA's canning share kicks in.
Each of these small (and not-so-small) steps takes us in the right direction. Sure, we have 5 acres so we can do more of some things than the average city dweller, but there is nothing we've done that someone living 45 miles north in a Denver suburb couldn't also do. For us that's the point. We didn't want to turn our backs on our former life; we just wanted to enrich it with a more hands-on experience and make it better. So far, it's working. The days feel longer; the kids are happier; the parents are more in-tune. Maybe next year we'll talk about putting in that solar grid. Or more hives. We'll definitely be expanding the garden, adding fruit trees, and perhaps we'll explore the possibility of raising some of our own meat. Until then, we've got plenty to keep us busy. Every day is an adventure, and we couldn't be more grateful to be living it.

Our Founders, of disparate faiths, backgrounds, professions and political beliefs, managed to create what I believe was a political miracle–a revolution that actually worked and one that has served its citizens so well that the result became the greatest engine for human good in all of history.
There had never been, and still has not been, any revolution greater than the concept of limited governance and that of the sovereignty of the individual over the state.
Others may have had the ideas, but the founders, the signers of what is arguably the greatest single political document of all history, got the details ever so right. Other great men created revolutions in other places that have tried to emulate the miracle of the Declaration and The Constitution and some have come close. Still, I think they always have fallen a bit short, or too often, very short. My own great, great grandfather found it necessary to exit Germany in a very great hurry for attempting to create there what had been accomplished just a few decades earlier here. It got very close a couple of centuries later.
The idea of The United States, the concept of American Exceptionalism, of the people's sovereignty, is embodied in this incredible document that we celebrate today. It is also wonderfully impressive that it is such a short and easy read, this guiding light for our freedoms.
So, between the first burger and the first few deviled eggs and the last hot dog and the last beer, give a thought or two and a modicum of thanks to the people and the truths that the Founders held self evident, and the ideas that launched this Grand Engine that we call America.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's CAROUSEL, starring Jessie Mueller, Joshua Henry, and Renée Fleming, Opens on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre!
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel officially returned to Broadway on April 12th in a new production at the Imperial Theatre. The staging, from Tony® winner Jack O'Brien, celebrated its opening night after beginning previews in February. Carousel, featuring music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, tell the story of millworker Julie Jordan, carousel barker Billy Bigelow, and their ultimately destructive relationship. The classic score includes such numbers as "If I Loved You," "June Is Bustin' Out All Over," and "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Chicago Tribune - Review
"God is in CAROUSEL. The greatest musical ever written."
"In 1945, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II created the greatest musical ever written about the brevity of life. Some of the most beautiful music ever written for the theater!"
The Hollywood Reporter - Review
"CAROUSEL embraces darkness and brutality while balancing sorrow and jubilation, tragedy with redemption in a show whose emotional complexity is equaled by its ravishing score."
"Shimmering masterwork."
Deadline - Review
"CAROUSEL is a masterpiece!"
"CAROUSEL is, without question, among the most radiantly and beautiful musicals ever created, its songs a series of flawless gems, from the transfixing instrumental "Carousel Waltz" to the rousing "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" and the anthemic "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Newsday - Review
"One of the most glorious scores ever written!"
Variety - Review
"'CAROUSEL' is sheer bliss!"
"The original contributions of Rodgers and Hammerstein are some of the musical theater's most beautiful and enduring songs."
