One of my techniques for finding new keyword strings and niches involves noticing obvious SPAM when I travel through the internet.
This started by getting annoyed with all the Akismet notifications in the my email account for my own websites. I was always annoyed that I even had to spend 3 seconds to deny these gibberish comments.
So I began to keep a google doc where I would paste the anchor text of the Spam comment - eventually I take a look through and see if there is any hidden gold.
With that same attitude, I will occasionally jump through the hubhopper if some piece of bltatnt SPAM exists and i have to spend 3 seconds to mark it as such...well then I copy the keywords as I figure they dont deserve them.
So i have all these keywords! and nowhere near the time or inclination to check them all..
Why not give them away? ( i cant bear to part with all of them yet) but I figured I could get it started:
So next time your hopping through the hubs in the hub hopper - paste some strings into a notepad as you clean up shop and share them with the group!
Things to look for -
The same bolded term throughout the hub especially in the first sentence.
Misspelled or fully capitalized titles
Odd formatting (a likely copy and paste)
Gibberish (Spun or translated material)
You have to figure the "writer" had some purpose in selecting those keywords, hopefully there stupidity only exists in the content creation department..
so clean up Hubpages and redistribute the keyword possibilities...
so waddya think , are you in?
PS. after lots of reminders and emails, Ive been spurred to start a second 60dc, i want to mix it up and make it a bit different this time ...no official start date, but I strongly suggest collecting about 30-50 keywords/strings you may want to consider developing
Todays finds:
wedding photography packages
Administrative Office Vacancy
Web Content Creation
kitchen Remodeling Ideas
Baseball Carpets (wtf?)
*I just found them - no research into profitability or competition should be assumed*
youth sleeping bag
mini circular saw
bicycle child carrier
(more likely to be profitable)
all over the internet marketing world, hubpages is known as a great place to put content as part of a link strategy - wouldnt it be great if all those suggestions were followed by "be careful though, the members will flag your blatant spam and may even steal your niche by writing better more high quality articles with your keywords!"
Little John: You know something Robin, I've been wondering... are we good guys or bad guys? You know, our robbing the rich to feed the poor.
Robin Hood: Rob? Tsk tsk, that's a naughty word John, we never rob. We just sort of... borrow from those who can afford it.
Little John: Borrow? Boy, are we in debt!
Who the Hell Are You Calling A THIEF Little Josh?
Sheesh.... use my name in vain
There is a nice verse for your little one on my 2nd to last hub mate... thought about you when I wrote it!
It's called "Hope was born with you!"
Keep smiling.
research "laminate picture frames".
Seem to get a few comments on that every month or so.
Wow..What a unique concept. I really liked the name. Though I never tried hub hopping, I will do it now and lets see if I can make some contribution.
P.S. Thanks for info on 60dc. Different? Just can't wait for it to get started!!!
Now come on sunforged, stop annoying the pesky spammers and let's kick some 60DC butt
Cool idea BTW!
Great idea!
I haven't kept track of the exact keywords, but I've been getting tons of comments for online essay writing services lately, in preparation for the fall semester, I guess.
no no no!
We dont want YOUR keywords! Your a writer and a treasure to the community... Ive just been sharing the keywords of blatant spammers.
Nah, I wouldn't write about essay writing services for students. I don't believe in enabling cheaters. Based on the number of spammers babbling about them in comments on one of my blogs, though, it must be a lucrative niche!
Shoes are popular, as is real estate.
I like the idea of keeping some of the spammers keywords. They're obviously using those keywords for a reason...
Guess I found a new past time (like I have free time) Hub Hopping.
Great idea sunforged, I did something similar not long ago. I kept getting emails everyday from the same companies promoting similar goods and services, I then noticed they had ads all over the place, I researched the market and hubbed on it. Low and behold it's now one of my best performing hubs.
I think it's all an effectviely good idea and project. 60dc is fantastic! Keyword research can only help us all. Thanks, sunforged, er..Robin! (one of my favorite heroes, btw, along with Swamp Fox).
Cheers, all!
What an idea - I hub hop at least once a day generally - protecting my investment from trash I say.
Never thought to look for gold in the trash. This might help me finish my 30dc on sales hubs! Thanks!
Sheesh, Sunforged. Brilliant as always.
I wasn't ever that great at math, but I understand music theory better than most anyone I know, and it's all math. Go figure. But on multiple choice math exams (of which I had plenty) I plugged the answers into the equation until I got the right one. It helped me learn the concepts better by doing it in reverse than by doing it as a set up equation.
My point is, your dredging through spam and such is very reminiscent of this sort of thinking. The alternate route is often a golden route.
Kudos, and thanks!
My contribution (oddly--for the purpose of helping to clean up all the spam...)
Best online dating sites
Cheapest online drug companies
These should be a good challenge to make them really useful.
this is a good idea.... you have a brilliant mind ...
I received three comments about "minature condom" today on three different sites. Either I am in somebodies spam network list or some one is playing a particularly cruel joke.
I was reminded about this thread when a tool showed my name in a couple of tweets in the twitsphere
apparently it caught some eyes!
http://work-at-home.business-opportunit … um=twitter
anyways .. its pretty cool to see how ideas and such (links) spread around the net when you have tracking methods in play
*edit* Just figured out whose blog that is - thanks for taking the time to set me up with that backlink!
to make the thread alive again here is the search of the day "Debt Consolidation"
Have been getting a lot of SPAM about the following:
- conscious eating
- Military travel specialist
- buy drugs online - particularly Cialis, Viagra
- Age Management Medicine (the discipline, not the drugs)
- Heart disease: causes and treatment options
Haven't checked these out yet, but am happy to share these to start
Seems like a great time to resurrect. Since flagging and spam killing is the rage right now, keep something in mind. A flagged hub doesnt mean much to someone who just spun it anyway. Even an
account ban is circumvented with a simple Ip switch - BUT having your niche and money terms exposed and attacked by an army of Hubbers - thats scary - and the word could spread.
Those bastards at HP - crushed my Hub and then wrote better articles knocking my money site to page 4 .. thats the type of rep you need to spread
todays finds:
Pay Per Click Management:
pagoda lantern ( i know this is a decent niche from experience)
canon photocopier
Golf Cart Enclosures
Garage Cabinets and Garage Storage
observation - much of the obvious spam is from users who never even put up a profile pic, that should be added as a requirement to publish
Hey! I already used one of those (or least something similar)!
Actually, I like this idea - I'll have to start keeping track as I hop. And may write a hub tomorrow using on of these words.
does anyone know what acai berry actually is?I mean, half the spam on the net seems to be acai berry realted, and I am there going WTF is that?

Saturn Corp.'s new midsize Aura sedan, one of three new vehicles the General Motors Corp. division hopes will lead its turnaround, will start at $20,595 when it hits U.S. showrooms in late summer.
The base model Aura XE includes a 3.5L V-6 with variable valve timing (VVT), mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Aura XR, priced at $24,595, comes with a twin-cam 3.6L V-6 with VVT and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Both trim levels come standard with 4-wheel antilock disc brakes and side curtain airbags. Wheels are 17-in. on the XE and 18-in. on the XR.
Saturn will deliver a mild hybrid version of the Aura, as well, but those prices have not been released.
Saturn, which recently launched sales of its new Sky roadster, also will roll out the Outlook cross/utility vehicle later this year.

5 Ways To Get Lucky In Your Job Search
Feb 18 2010 in Uncategorized by Phil Rosenberg
In job search, it's better to be lucky than to be smart.
Unfortunately, most candidates play by an outdated set of rules that makes them unlucky. Employers today use very similar procedures to pick which employees to interview and hire. These procedures are vastly different than the tactics that most candidates use (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2009/10/are-you-buying-mac-cheese-of-job-search.html).
I suggest to candidates that they will need 3 times the number of opportunities in their pipeline than their last job search. Candidates should plan on a pipeline that can deliver 3 times the number of interviews … in order to get lucky. It's THAT competitive out there, when CareerBuilder reports that the average job seeker is taking 6 months to find a new position (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/02/some-good-news-for-job-seekers.html), CNN reports a national average over 30 weeks, and ExecuNet reports that it's taking managers & executives 9-12 months on average.
Again, most candidates under plan their activity and tactics to build a large enough pipeline, reducing the odds that they can beat the average time for job search. For instance, most candidates build just one channel of opportunities (typically networking, job boards or recruiters), neglecting the other channels available.
The good news is … being smart about your job search can make you luckier. There are some smart ways to stack the odds more in your favor, so you are more likely to get lucky.
- Effort counts – This is the toughest job market in our lifetimes. Changing jobs isn't going to be as easy as the last time you changed jobs. I advise clients to expect they will need three times the number of opportunities, three times the number of interviews, resumes sent, and effort than their last job search.
- Develop multiple opportunity channels – Most job seekers use just one, typically concentrating on one of the following: networking, job boards, or recruiters. In the toughest market in our lifetime, I recommend using all of these channels simultaneously, plus two more.
- Job Boards – See the Top 30 Job Boards of 2010 to get an idea which job boards to use (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/02/top-30-job-boards-for-2010.html. You won't have the bandwidth to use all 30, so pick 3-5 and concentrate on those. Set up automated email or RSS job alerts on each board to have qualifying jobs delivered to your mailbox or RSS reader to save time.
- Networking – Networking is great, and it's the fastest way to a new job, but it's limited. Most of us have 50-75 close contacts who are willing to help. You'll go through those fast. You may have hundreds more distant contacts. Contact them by all means, but recognize they carry lower odds of coming through for you. Also recognize that most mid sized and large companies have referral bonus programs, meaning your resume will probably be sent by your contact to HR…into the same database you'd go if you sent through the job boards. Your close network will be more productive with Guerrilla Job search Tactics (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2009/11/guerrilla-job-search-tactics.html).
- Recruiters – Recruiters don't work for you, they work for the hiring manager. Never fool yourself otherwise. But there are ways you can get to the front of a recruiter's mind, get more attention from them, and have them think of you (instead of other candidates) more often when they have job matches for you (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2008/02/inside-track-on-recruiters-top-10-tips.html)
- Social Networking – Similar with in person networking, but you'll have a broader list and shallower connections. Again, your social network can be a great source of information (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/01/use-twitter-to-prepare-for-your-job.html). You can also refer to some of the many tips I've published to build your Linkedin network (http://recareered.blogspot.com/search/label/LinkedIN), and Facebook networks (http://recareered.blogspot.com/search/label/FaceBook) may be helpful.
- Social Branding – Create an inbound opportunity channel by creating your social brand … online. Use Social Branding to increase your "findability" on Google searches, so recruiters and hiring managers can more easily find you. In addition, when business leaders have a new problem today, the first thing most do is research online to see what thought leaders and subject matter experts have to say. Establishing your social brand as a subject matter expert and thought leader encourages a business manager with a problem … to contact you for your advice (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-use-social-branding.html). Wait – if you're looking for a job, aren't these the conversations you want to have more of?
- Use a resume that gets you noticed – As someone who has reviewed tens of thousands of resumes (maybe hundreds of thousands … who knows? I lost count years ago), most are unremarkable and very few stand out. Ask any recruiter – if they are honest with you, they will tell you the same thing. I give lots of advice about how to make your resume stand out … if you take only one, make sure that your resume includes the 3 things your next employer is looking for (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2009/12/3-things-your-next-employer-will-search.html).
- Ditch the cover letter – See (Link)
- Spell out WIFT – Most resumes, networking, and interviews convey What's In It For Me (WIFM). Your future employer is much less concerned about what you want, and much more concerned if you can solve his problems – or What's In It For Them (WIFT). (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-are-you-looking-for-job-search.html)
All of these tactics can help you increase your odds of getting lucky. Then again, is it really luck – or is it effort and strategy that brings your job search
What are you doing to get lucky in your job search?

Dean Keirle, 65, of Baker, Mont., passed away Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017 at the Billings Clinic in Billings, Mont. A Family Receiving Friends service was held on Feb. 8, 2017 at Stevenson Funeral Home in Baker, Mont. In accordance with Dean's wishes, cremation has taken place.
Dean was born May 2, 1951 in Beach, N.D., the son of Ervin H. "Red" and Irene E. (Dworshak) Keirle. Growing up, he attended school in Baker, graduating from BHS in 1969. At the age of 13, his mother passed away and he was raised by "Red". Dean attended college in Arizona for a couple years before returning to Baker where he went to work as a welder for the oilfield. Dean married Jeanette Kalina in 1973 and was later divorced. He began working for the City of Baker and was there for over 20 years. He married Kaye Kirschten in 1987 and they were later divorced. In November 1989, at the age of 38, Dean campaigned and was elected as Mayor for the city of Baker. While serving as Mayor, he helped reorganize the City Police and the Water & Garbage collection. Dean married Sherrie Behrens in 1993 and they later divorced. Following his retirement, he moved to Arizona for a few years. Dean once again returned to Baker and worked on the Keirle Ranch and for the Baker Air Service for the next ten years.
As a young boy, Dean was involved in Boy Scouts. He enjoyed hunting and competition in pistol shooting where he was an exceptional marksman. Dean received his Private Pilot license in 1978 from Roger Meggers and flew several times to Arizona. He enjoyed traveling and was able to see some of the wonders of the world; from Mexico to Alaska and Europe. Dean loved life, riding his motorcycle and spending time with his friends. He was an adventurous guy. Two good old friends, Roger and Shane, were with Dean when he passed away. Dean was always the life of the party and memories of him keep you laughing until it hurts. He will be missed by his close friends, Roger (Beth) Meggers, Shane (Carole) Bettenhausen, Darin (Melissa) Meggers, Dan (Hiromi) Cox and Randy (Marie) Sander, and other friends.
Dean is survived by his adopted daughter, Danielle (Dale) Butori & their daughter, Maddi, of Baker; grandson, Sam Keirle of Bowman; cousins, Al (Vicki) Heller and Mark (Susan) Heller of Ariz.; step-sisters, Robyn (Orville) Erlenbush of Bozeman and Lori Keirle of Seattle, Wash.; and his special dog companion, Bailey.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
Remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www.stevensonfuneralhome.com.


text: I have to admit that I'm not a fan of eggplant, but I do know how to cook it. Slice the eggplant to your desired thickness and use cooking spray to coat both sides. If you prefer, you could also use olive or vegetable oil. When the grill is heated, arrange the slices, then cook for about 3 minutes per side. You will know the eggplant is done when it is browned on both sides.

Thanksgiving Planning
With a busy schedule and the holidays already overwhelming me, I need a new Thanksgiving game plan. I've made the traditional spread (more times than I can count), vegetarian (yes, I made a tofurky), Native American (fry bread, three sister's soup, wild rice stuffed acorn squash, baked pudding with maple syrup), one year my mother and I even did Chinese. This year I want to try something new again. I want to cook with my kids.
Normally I would wake up at dawn, cook for 12 hours, and dinner was always late. Meanwhile everyone else would watch TV or play video games. Then I was blessed with cleaning all that mess up! As it turns out, children don't like tofurky, acorn squash, and soup. I spent the whole day making a huge meal only I wanted to try and I wasn't even happy doing it. This year will be different. I'm making a vow to being happy for the holidays which means I will need help.
I'm going to sit down with my children and pick a menu we can all agree upon and we'll do the work together (fingers crossed). My eldest and I are pretty picky eaters in very different ways, but we both love to cook. My youngest helps with washing, prepping, and mixing, while the big girls do the chopping and cooking. Cooking is one of those few "chores" in which we can all work together with relatively little complaints.
This year Thanksgiving will take some extra planning to keep everyone happy and on track. Usually I pick all the recipes, drag the kids grocery shopping, and schedule each recipe to be completed and still warm by 6. Then the day comes and I've forgotten some little, but integral ingredient and then everything is late and the world implodes, but someone still needs to do put away leftovers and do the dishes. This year everyone will work like a team and we'll have fun. We'll pick easy recipes everyone will love and there will be smiles and hugs and rainbow unicorns. That's realistic right?
What is your Thanksgiving game plan? Have you had any especially memorable Thanksgivings? Please leave them in the comments below! Happy planning, Supreme Beings!
Fancy Spaghetti
Photo from familyfreshcooking.com (click the photo above to be directed thataways). During my daily internet meanderings I was struck by a sudden jolt of (P)inspiration. It's spaghetti, but in tiny little spirals. Because everyone knows the flavor-infusion power of the spiral is left unrivaled. Trapezoids try their best, but at the end of the day the stomach and soul craves food Fibonacci-style.
I just happen to have some spaghetti lazing around in my refrigerator, sponging off the government. So I did what any good American would do. I stabbed it, contorted it into balls of glory, sprinkled it with freedom (Parmesan) cheese, and baked it at 350 for 20 minutes. If you don't happen to have cold spaghetti on hand, just cook some al dente in the sauce of your choosing! I know it may blow your mind, but this method will infuse the spaghetti with your favorite saucy flavor and leave the perfect amount of sauce for spiraling.
As expected, one of the spaghetti balls became sentient and begged I show mercy and release his pasta-brethren. I did not oblige.
Making spaghetti into balls didn't quite make them fancy enough, so I added a sprinkling of diamonds to really accent the flavor of the spiral. (Seriously, don't eat diamonds. Doing so will lead to intestinal bleeding.) Enjoy, Supreme Beings!
Simple Rangoons
As I often do, I was craving a certain kind of food. Not so much specific, but everything from one genre; Chinese food (or what Americans consider Chinese food). Ideally I wanted to splurge on a buffet, but I knew that immediately afterward I would experience the post-buffet regret. In order to satisfy my wallet and my stomach, I needed to get creative. I was already starving, so I needed something fast before the beast within took over and made bad judgments. This is the result. This was very satisfying and while it could feed two people, I topped them with some sriracha (or cock sauce as I like to call it) and ate all of them by myself. Don't judge, just do it yourself, Supreme Beings!
Here's some pictures of real Chinese food from my trip to China.

I like to stay home and make stuff.

May 10, 2010
FORT WORTH, TX - General Motors announced the Cadillac CTS-V has been named the 2010 Car of Texas by the Texas Auto Writers Association after topping the competition at the group's Spring Challenge last week.
The event pitted the newest models in the U.S. market against each other in a series of test drives at Texas Motor Speedway. About 40 auto writers participated in this year's event and voted on their favorite cars in a variety of categories.
The CTS-V earned the highest honor with its selection as "Writers' Choice - The Car of Texas." It was the second time CTS-V received the award. The CTS-V also won the Car of Texas distinction in 2004, according to GM.
"The Cadillac CTS-V is the car that most epitomizes the state of Texas," said Michael Herzing, president of the Texas Auto Writers Association and publisher of LetsTalkWheels.com.
CTS-V, a high-performance version of the CTS Sedan, has pushed the Cadillac experience to a new level since its introduction in 2004. The most recent model has a 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine rated at 556 horsepower.
The CTS-V features high-performance Brembo brakes, specially designed Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires and Magnet Ride Control technology. The V-Series will be extended later this year with the CTS-V Sport Wagon and CTS-V Coupe.

Each year, it's our custom to make New Year's resolutions — for others. Herewith our 2017 suggestions. Happy New Year, everyone!
I, Governor John Bel Edwards, resolve to present Louisiana citizens and lawmakers with a balanced, comprehensive plan for fiscal reform.
We, the Republican members of the Louisiana House of Representatives, resolve not to let partisan politics sidetrack Louisiana's best chance for fiscal reform in decades.
We, Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Neely Kennedy, acknowledge that our senatorial careers will be defined not only by how we work with President-elect Donald Trump but also by how much we improve the lives of our constituents. Therefore, when it comes to the Affordable Care Act, we resolve to concentrate on the "replace" element of "repeal and replace" as much as we campaigned on "repeal" — because our constituents are among the least healthy in the country.
I, Jeff Landry, recognize that I was elected attorney general to serve the citizens of Louisiana as their chief legal officer. I therefore resolve not to grandstand, take cheap political shots, or attempt to impose my views on social issues on the people of Louisiana by misusing my authority. (OK, we admit it: This was our New Year's resolution for Landry in 2016. He did just the opposite. Still, hope springs eternal.)
I, Mayor Mitch Landrieu, resolve to finish the fight I started over the so-called Confederate monuments before qualifying begins for my successor in July 2017 — and not leave it hanging over the citywide elections as a divisive issue.
We, the New Orleans City Council, recognize that the costs of rent and homeownership have vastly outstripped the earnings of many of our constituents. We therefore resolve to concentrate on affordable housing and expan-ding economic opportunities in 2017.
We, the Regional Transit Authority, opened a new streetcar line and expanded the city bus system in 2016. We now resolve to demand on-time service from our drivers — and ourselves.
We, the citizens of Jefferson Parish, recognize that Parish President Mike Yenni has no intention of stepping down in the wake of his sexting scandal, and that the recall petition seeking to dislodge him from office appears to have stalled (fewer than 50,000 signatories as of mid-December, with more than 90,000 verified signatures needed by April 10). We resolve to redouble our efforts to make the recall petition succeed, which means not waiting until someone knocks on our door asking us to sign.
We, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, resolve to have the Napoleon Avenue neutral ground construction finished (as pro-mised) by the time the Uptown Mardi Gras parades begin rolling in mid-February. In turn, we, the parade-goers of New Orleans, resolve to treat each other with more bonhomie and less pig-gish space grabbing than we have displayed during the last few Carnival seasons.
We, the New Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Pelicans and owner Tom Benson, resolve to give our faithful fans reasons to cheer again. (Yes, that's another holdover from 2016.)
I, President-elect Donald Trump, promise to stay off Twitter for the next four years — if not forever.
We, Gambit, promise to cover all this and more in 2017.

A Michigan mother shared a touching video of her 9-year-old with cerebral palsy trying to stand for the national anthem.
Logan, a lover of sports, doesn't walk without the aid of medical equipment, said his mother, Rebecca Wilson of Chesterfield, Michigan.
On this particular day, while watching a game they recorded on the DVR, Wilson noticed her son attempting to stand for the national anthem.
"He always takes off his hat," she said, "but until yesterday I never really saw him try to stand. He just knew that is what we do to show respect to our country and everyone who fights so hard for us."
"He is truly just an amazing kid just doing what he loves."

A guy and I texted for over a week then went on a date which ended with kissing. That night he send a text like "I wished I could have kissed you longer". And we both said we thought the date went well. Ever since the date our texting has decreased a lot. I asked him out on a second date but he said he was busy (also we live 1.5 hr apart) I texted him again 2 days later to see how he has been doing he apologized again for being so busy lately and we didn't text again.
Should I text him and show initiative? I don't want to be annoying or be the person that cannot take a hint. Should I text him or wait for him to reach out to me? (Before both of us initiated conversations but mostly it was me) Is he not into me or something?
Most Helpful Girl
Sorry, he seems not interested in a second date. Forget him!00|00|0
I think that too but at the same time if he's not interested why kiss? And send cute text messages? Or say "sorry I've been busy"? He could just say "no I don't want a second date, I am not interested in you".
- Show AllShow Less
You are welcome. You deserve better.
He seems that he plays with you. Just play the game well if you want to be with him.

Looking back on over 30 years of being married to a soul selfish woman I feel enormous gratitude. I have learned the value of taking the risk of being completely authentic and found that I am still loved, perhaps even more. What a relief it is to be this honest.
I asked Jane to marry me when she turned 50 and was 16 years into her soul selfish journey — the best decision of my life. She was (and still is) a vital, loving, sexy, fascinating and adventurous woman. Ten years earlier she had the guts to leave her 19-year marriage with four children and no career to return to, even though it meant facing severe financial difficulties. She had come to realize that she couldn't remain in a marriage so damaging to her soul.
I had little understanding of the impact Jane would have on me. Nor did I have any idea how much we would evolve together. By being intimately aware of her sensuality, emotions and her soul, Jane inspired me to become increasingly aware of mine. I had no meaningful spiritual life, and no thought of even having a soul. My ego was the primary driver of my thoughts and behaviors. I relied solely on my intellect in making decisions which worked well in the business world, and I considered myself highly successful.
I spent the last 20 years of my career as a CEO and felt lost when I retired. Not knowing what to do with my days, I started taking on some household responsibilities. Jane's gratitude for my help touched me. To be taken in and have my efforts so fully appreciated was a new and satisfying feeling. It has made me a far more generous and consistent giver.
Thirteen years ago we went to a Unity Christmas Eve service where an inspired minister so moved us that we continued to attend to this day. These experiences remind me to take the time to look inward and connect with my feelings and my soul. Decisions that used to be automatic now get more thought, as I check in to see if they are authentic. I see myself as a far more genuine man now than I ever was, precisely because I have this discipline.
Living with an inner directed woman can sometimes be challenging! Although I frequently get called on my avoidances and inauthenticities, which is no fun at all, I have the chance to think about and correct them. I now understand many of the beliefs I have been holding, and realize that some no longer serve me. I go to my heart far more often, gradually learning to become a more unconditionally loving man.
At the same time, I have been able to utilize my strengths to help Jane grow in areas where she has been more vulnerable. The culture and era in which she grew up restricted her opportunities to participate in the world. I encourage her to give more to herself, and to feel OK about saying "no" more often — even to me. I delight in supporting her success in the world and am proud of her accomplishments.
In 2014 Jane started writing her first book, a memoir. I asked to read a couple of chapters and found her writing and story-telling natural and moving, and asked if she would like my feedback. Her delight with my interest led us to an even deeper level of intimacy as I served as became her preliminary editor. Sometimes our discussions were long and passionate, yet they always ended with high-fives when resolved. Since her book has launched, I act as her business manager and marketing partner and am excited to be stretching myself with new projects and challenges that energize and stimulate me.
Jane's decision to write her memoir when 78, and publish and promote it at 80 has changed both of our lives. Each morning when I awaken, I realize how blessed I am. Thirty years later, I am ever more grateful to be married to a soul selfish woman, and to be growing into a more soul selfish man.

10 job ideas for globetrotters
Are you planning a 10-month round the world trip? Are you getting ready for your road trip across Australia? Did you decide to visit all of Europe in less than 4 months? If you have very little savings, travelling the world might be tricky. To fund their journey, many globetrotters decide to find casual jobs abroad. There are various jobs you can do while travelling: take a look through our 10 ideas!
1. Language teacher
What if you taught your native language abroad? Many language centers and cultural associations located in different countries frequently hire native teachers. If you are a student, you can also try to go abroad as a language assistant in a secondary school.
2. Farm employee
Helping a British farmer harvest his potatoes, picking mangoes in Australia, working on a Canadian dairy farm... Depending on the season and on your location, you might be able to find day or week-long jobs on farms. And if you want to meet the locals, try wwoofing.
3. Au pair
If you enjoy being with children and want to share with a host family, au pair is the right job is for you! Many agencies and specialized websites offer au pair stays abroad. Do bear in mind that there is an age limit: you will usually not be able to secure an au pair position beyond 30 years old.
4. Waiter
In some countries, many backpackers land a job as a waiter. The easiest way to find an employer, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, is to go to restaurants, cafes or bars and introduce yourself. If you know very little of your host country's language, you can offer to do the washing-up instead of serving customers...
5. Trip leader
If you are an experienced globetrotter, you might be able to transmit your love for travel! Tour operators often seek staff to accompany groups of travellers. No matter what country you are visiting, trip leaders must ensure the group has an enjoyable experience and take care of all the formalities. Organization skills are a must, as trip leaders follow a specific schedule.
6. International volunteer
There are various types of international volunteering (European Volunteering Service, UN volunteering…) which will allow you to take part in solidarity projects around the word. Assignment conditions, however, vary greatly and volunteers often only receive an allowance.
7. Travel blogger
Given the huge number of travel blogs you can now find on the web, expect the competition to be tough! Making money by blogging isn't all about having excellent writing abilities: you must have real web marketing and SEO skills. Becoming a true digital nomad, takes a lot of work!
8. Cruise ship employee
You do not get seasick and have a strong sense of customer service? Why don't you work on a floating hotel! Cruise ships offer jobs in the hospitality, restaurant, entertainment or retail industries. Though the work environment is often faced-paced, you might be lucky enough to discover a number of beautiful parts of the world.
9. Holiday club activity leader
Organize salsa classes, run a puppet workshop, prepare a show… A holiday club activity leader must have very good organizational skills and be ready to adapt to diverse audiences. You can work as an activity leader within different types of institutions, such as resorts, campgrounds or clubs.
10. Scuba diving instructor
Which travel and scuba diving lover has never dreamed of exploring the Great Barrier Reef? If you are physically fit and have the required certification, you will be able to find diving instructor jobs in many countries.

I've been a work at home mom for 8 years now.
Every year I've treated Summer vacation pretty much like any other time of the year. I've made time for the pool on Fridays, and to run my kiddo to horse camp 5 days straight… but it's still been business first.
Yesterday I was talking to a friend. I was feeling funky about some life stuff. I was wallowing and feeling really far away from my core desired feelings.
My first instinct?
Start a new blog. 😉 Yeppers. My first thought, when things are going wrong is start something new that makes me feel excited again.
My dear dear friend looked me in the eyes (we were on a google video hangout) and said, in a stern, but loving voice…
"You know, you like to start new things."
I looked at her, and immediately knew where this conversation was going. I wistfully said… "yeah, I really do like to start new things." *sigh*
You see, I had this big plan to get back to my core desired feelings, feel good, get stuff around the house done, create a living environment I love… accomplish all this great stuff I have on my "be, do have" list.
The conversation continued and with the help of this wise woman I realized I didn't have to start something new to get back to feeling good.
One of her best suggestions was: blog less.
Huh? What? NO. Must blog daily. The mantra of the last 2 years immediately stream rolled through my brain.
It was an avalanche of yeah buts, oh, no ways, and that'll never works. A plethora of I've got to be working to make money, and in front of the computer for it to work and a hundred other completely untrue crazy ass rules I've made up and decided to believe.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Yes. That's exactly what I'll do.
I will stick with the grand plan for the summer. I'll do all the things I want to do. I'll be free. I'll have adventures. I'll fall in love with my kiddo all over again. I'll swim. I'll garden. I'll cook. I'll laugh. I'll play. I'll have fun.
I'll blog less.
But how?
How do I run a successful business that makes me feel radiant, unleashed and alive, while helping my readers find simplicity and ease in creating their own successful life and biz?
How does it work?!
(no not bitching… that never gets you anywhere lol)
Yep. I can actually cut down my posting schedule.. and only put out great stuff. Do it all at once. Schedule it to go out. Schedule my social media sharing… which leaves me completely available to connect with my kiddo and do all the dreamy stuff I want to do to feel really good… and respond via phone to my business.
#boom. #nojoke
Now let's get back to this "start something new to feel good" thing.
Yeah. I love this blog. This blog is awesome. And… the way it's set up (the secret weapon to successful blogging) makes it perfect for those of us who are constantly growing and evolving.
Instead of starting something new, I'm going to give this place a little face-lift. Maybe some new colors. I'm reading this very cool book about how color affects people ~ it's helping me make decisions. Maybe change the sidebars around. (I'm reading this other very cool book about heat maps, and how people see and interact with your website).
[Tweet "Instead of turning away from this site I'm going to lean into it and we're going to grow together. "]
So… this summer all will seem the same to you, (because I'll be batching and scheduling everything) and yet, I won't be at my desk. I'll be out and about adventuring, having fun in the world and living. 🙂
My dear friend reminded me of an experiment I did recently, when I had a crazy week… and how well it worked. It's probably the only thing that made this crazy blog less idea even possible in my head. And isn't it funny how quickly we forget awesome stuff we've done?!
So… eek. It's going to be a Summer Experiment. #BlogLessLiveMore
With less time to work I'm going to focus my social media sharing as well. I will be mostly on Twitter and Facebook this summer. Follow me on twitter for awesome content and resources to help you upgrade your life, feel inspired and excited about the possibilities, and to find simplicity and ease in both life and biz. Follow (or friend) me on Facebook for the latest and greatest pics and commentary on life with less blogging and more living. 🙂 #blogworkshop will continue! You'll find it on my G+ profile every Monday at 10a Central, and you'll be able to ask questions and make comments from there.
I can't wait to create an epic summer… and I wish the same for you as well. If you decide to do a Summer #bloglesslivemore Experiment let me know! I'm sure at some point my blogger brain is going to kick in and I'm going to need support to stay off the laptop! 🙂
Here's to creating an epic summer!

A carbon footprint is defined as the total amount (or the nearest estimate we can achieve of that figure) of greenhouse gas caused by an organisation, event, product, country or person over a set period.
The main greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2), but there are others, including methane and ozone. These would also be included when working out the carbon footprint of an individual, activity, item, business, lifestyle or country, so the result is usually shown as CO2e – where 'e' stands for 'equivalent' and shows the effect of all these gases together. As a group, the output of these gases is known as 'carbon emissions'.
Driving a car, taking a flight and heating our homes all have an impact on the environment, because these activities create carbon emissions, which scientists believe are a major driver in climate change.
Adding together the carbon emissions of all your daily activities, from shopping at your local greengrocer to flying round the world, will give the amount of greenhouse gas you cause over your lifetime. This is what's meant by the term 'carbon footprint'.
For example:
The production process of building your car in the factory also created greenhouse gases, so it's greener to buy a used car and then keep it for as long as possible, even if the actual model is less eco-friendly than some new cars.
In fact, according to The Guardian, if you can make a car last for 200,000 miles rather than 100,000, the emissions for each mile the car does in its lifetime may drop by as much as 50%, as you're spreading its manufacturing emissions over a longer time. You can find out about different makes of car and their carbon emissions at http://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/fcb/index.asp.
It's practically impossible to calculate a total carbon footprint accurately because you would need so much data and you would have to exclude any random CO2e produced by natural events. However, you can get a rough idea of your basic carbon footprint over a year for various activities, such as travel. You can then add them together to calculate a single figure for the amount of CO2e that enters the atmosphere because of the fuel and electricity you've used during that time.
Your carbon footprint is measured in tonnes (or tons in the USA). A 'carbon calculator', will give you a rough idea of your carbon footprint for selected activities like flying and driving, and you can then add them together for an approximate total.
It can be fun – and quite shocking – to use a carbon calculator, and it's an effective reminder of how much CO2e we generate with the simplest, most innocuous activities.
For example, even when working out your 'secondary' carbon footprint (from items you buy and use rather than activities like heating your home or driving), it's practically impossible to get a zero score. To do so, you would need to be a vegan, grow all your own food organically, buy everything second hand and unpackaged, recycle or compost all your waste, never drive a car and not even have a bank account.
Some figures are quite surprising:
Carrier bags create other environmental problems, of course: they don't biodegrade for hundreds of years, and in the meantime they sit in landfill or, worse, waft out to sea and kill seals, fish and seabirds.
However, animal products tend to be extremely carbon intensive. Of the 2.5 kg of CO2e scored by the cheeseburger, 1.91 kg is due to producing the 108 g of beef, 0.25 kg is due to the cheese, and around 0.2 kg is generated by the cooking and transport. The rest is the bun (50 g), the salad (10 g) and the condiments (80 g)*.
So when the average person in the developed world carries a plastic bag of food out of the supermarket, that bag probably represents about one thousandth of the the total carbon footprint of the food inside it*.
If you ignore secondary items like the cost of producing your car at the factory, road travel is one of the easiest aspects of your carbon footprint to evaluate.
Using 1 litre of petrol creates 3.15 kg of CO2e*.
Driving 1 mile in an average car at 33 mpg creates 7.1 kg of CO2e.
Commuting in heavy traffic can cause three times as many carbon emissions as driving on a clear road*.
1 mile on a typical London bus or an Intercity standard class train creates around 150 g (0.15 kg) of CO2e*.
1 mile by London Underground is 160 g*.
The carbon emissions of flying depend on whether it's a short hop or a long-haul flight.
One person flying from London to Glasgow and back (405 miles each way) would generate around 500 kg of CO2e.
The same person flying economy class from London to Hong Kong and back (5,969 miles each way) would cause around 3.4 tonnes*.
A 2014 study by Scarborough et al** looked at the real-life diets of people in the UK and estimated their dietary greenhouse gas footprints. The average daily CO2e emissions were:
In general, the ways you can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions are the same as the ways recommended for making your home more energy efficient and saving money on your energy bills. So they're good for you as well as for the planet:

Simple Fast Cash Formula by Chris Jones Review – Does Simple Fast Cash Really Exist
Name: Simple Fast Cash Formula
Website: simplefastcashformula.com
Price:$47.00 a month
Owner: Chris Jones
Overall Rank:1/10
Simple Fast Cash Formula Product Overview
The Simple Fast Cash Formula program by Chris Jones is not as straight forward as I originally anticipated. When I first looked into the Simple Fast Cash Formula it appeared to be a training program to help make money online, but after digging around a little bit I was able to discover just how far this rabbit hole goes.
You see, the Simple Fast Cash Formula is part of the iPAS2 system, the iPas 2 system is owned and created by Chris Jones and Chris Campbell. You may recognize the Chris Campbell name from my Pizza Boy Millionaire review, well it's the one in the same Chris Campbell. Chris seems to be putting his name onto a lot of products these day's, but they all seem to point back to the Empower Network.
Chris's Pizza Boy Millionaire is a Mentor style team that leads you into promoting the Empower Network. Well, Chris Jones and Chris Campbell's Simple Fast Cash Formula system is a training program with mentoring that will lead you into iPAS and iPAS will lead you into promoting you may have already guessed it "The Empower Network!" Read my Empower Network review to find out exactly why the Empower Network is not at the top of very many people's legit program lists, including mine!
My first issue with Simple Fast Cash Formula is with the video that lies directly on their home page and is displayed upon entering the website. The video first appears with a 4-minute timer below it counting down which is not anything new when promoting services online or trying to push people into buying, we have all seen these before, right?
But, this timer is just a little different in that it prevents any action from being taken on the page, there is no buy now feature and you can even pause the sales video and not watch it but the timer remains on screen and continues counting down. This is not a sales tactic but a ranking tactic in disguise, and it's pretty clever. You see, the only reason they have a 4-minute timer before offering you a sale is to keep you on the page for 4 minutes, nothing more and nothing less. If you stay on their website for 4 minutes, that looks great in Googles eyes and will skyrocket their page ranking into the top positions in Google and that eventually will equal a higher sales volume. Think about it this way, let's say you have a website, how engaging would your website look to Google if each and every person had to stick around at the minimum of 4 minutes? I can speak from experience that Google would see you as an authority website very quickly and your ranking would benefit immensely.
Now, I hung around on the Simple Fast Cash Formula website longer than the 4-minute minimum and watched the entire Chris Jones video and let me tell you its rather lengthy to put it mildly. I did not notice anything that we don't normally expect from these video's, there are the same outlandish claims like earning $3,000.00 a day backed by testimonials from some paid off individuals. There are the discounts, Chris states he should be charging $2,000.00 for the system but for you, he is giving it away for $47.00 a month. He then states that he is giving you a free website that would cost 100's of thousands of dollars if you had it created yourself. Well, websites don't have to cost much at all if anything and if you are interested in building a free website and learning how to utilize it then check out my how to build a website section.
Chris Jones does mention the iPAS system in the video but never really mentions what it entails, nor does he mention anything about the Empower Network in which you will eventually be promoting. There is no transparency in the video, the system or on the website what so ever! You are never told exactly what you will be doing other than driving traffic to a particular website that is created for you when you join the Simple Fast Cash Formula.
PROS and CONS of Simple Fast Cash Formula
- Chris Jones does mention some key factors that I agree are invaluable when creating an online business like community, mentorship, and Support.
- No questions asked 30-day money back guarantee
- Not transparent enough with their connection to the iPas system and not transparent at all that they are in conjunction with the Empower Network
- High dollar earnings claims in terms of the dollar amount and day's it would take to earn($3,000 a day)
- Chris states that if you sell one high ticket item you could earn $3k worth of revenue, how much are these high ticket items?
- Associated with the Empower Network and in order to get all the programs that the Empower Network has to offer could end up costing you over $5,000.00 not to mention the monthly fee's to be part of this system.
- a system (Simple Fast Cash Formula), inside a system (iPAS), Inside another system (Empower Network) I'm exhausted just thinking about all of those layers. If you have a good product only one layer is necessary!
- Upsells Galore between the three systems should be expected
Who is Simple Fast Cash Formula for?
The Simple fast Cash Formula targets people looking to get into making a living online or trying to work from home, they could be beginners to intermediate most experts are knowledgeable enough to steer clear of any program associated with the Empower Network.
The Simple Fast Cash Formula is also looking for the newcomers that have a big portion of the money to invest. The amount of money you have to invest, usually determines what type of training and mentoring you will receive. I know this will be the case once you get involved with the Empower Network portion of the program read my Empower Network review to learn how buying higher levels inside the program ultimately equals better training and responsive mentorship.
I guess it's for anyone since, you really wont have a hand in anything Chris Jones will be taking care of all of that for you. But, remember with no control do you really have anything tangable that you, yourself own?
Simple Fast Cash Formula Tools and Training
There is a mentorship program, and training on how to generate traffic to your premade website as well as some additional training that will be provided for Simple Fast Cash Formula, iPAS and the Empower Network.
Simple Fast Cash Formula Support
Expect most support to be from your upline Mentor
Simple Fast Cash Formula Price
It costs $47.00 a month to get into the Simple Fast Cash Formula system. I would expect additional fee's and upsells to be presented to you moving forward into iPas. I would also expect a large investment if you plan on following through into Empower Network through iPAS upwards of $5,000.00 of an investment.
My Final Opinion of the Simple Fast Cash Formula
My final opinion of the Simple Fast Cash Formula is not a good one, not only because they are 3 layers away from the Empower Network but because of how they fool you into thinking that they are an entirely diffrent identity then have the nerve to charge you a monthly fee on top of that.
Sure they are offering some additional benefits in terms of training and a mentor to get you going , which is great and all. But, at the end of the day you will still be promoting iPAS and the Empower Network and not only is that not fully disclosed in the video or anywhere on the website, but the Empower Network has some serious moral and ethical issues linked to it.
If you are looking to get started making money online or learn how to work from home, then getting into a system with layer upon layer ithat will eventually end up costing you thousands is probobly not a place you want to start out at. If a program that offers some free training, free websites, free hosting and a free trial is more your speed then I urge you to check check out my top recommended program Wealthy Affiliate. Wealthy Affiliate has turned more common folks like you and I into succesful business owners than any other program on the internet today simply because it works!

Overall Rank:1/10
The Simple Fast Cash Formula program may be able to train you and mentor you into making money online, but that does not make it a good system to get involved with. If the Empower System was a good system it would not need to be covered up with so many other layers and names of other systems (iPAS & Simple Fast Cash Formula) to encourage people to promote it. If it was a good dependable system then it would be an open book and visually apparent at what you are getting involved with and getting into! But instead it relies on layers to conceal the hidden truth.

My mom taught me some valuable lessons while growing in the summer heat of southwest Florida. One, to truly dial down your core temperature, take a cool shower. She keeps a hotplate in the shed to cook on hot afternoons to avoid heating up the house and gardens only in the cooler morning hours. A couple of years ago while remodeling our house, I added my own coda. In the morning, prep chilled soup for lunch later in the day.
Chilled soup carries a stamp of posh. "Oh James, prepare the vichyssoise and the champagne for dinner, will you?" The first time that I can recall having chilled soup was as a impressionable 20-year-old college student at the home of a wealthy older man that I was interviewing for a story in the Chicago Sun-Times. His private chef served a wide, shallow bowl of soup of cucumber and melon. The flavor was so delicate, almost ethereal. I took almost as many notes grilling the chef about the soup as I did about my interview.
The original version of this dish calls for caviar. I made it for my charity dinner with whitefish caviar from the Seattle Caviar Co. The salty crunch pairs wonderfully with the subtle flavor. But for most days, a small pile of sour cream, lime and avocado would be my choice as a final garnish. You can add some sauteed shrimp or some crab if you feel luxurious. I use an immersible blender to puree the soup. If you don't have one, you can pulse it in a blender or food processor, working in batches if necessary.
1 large leek (white and pale green parts only), sliced
2 shallots or 1/4 small onion, chopped roughly
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed, spears coarsely chopped
4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
2 cups chopped spinach leaves (about 3 1/2 ounces)
3 tablespoons parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Salt, pepper
1/2 peeled pitted avocado
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons sour cream
6 ounces of crab meat or cooked shrimp (optional)
4 oz. caviar (optional, yet wonderful)
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks and shallots or onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer until asparagus is tender, about eight minutes. Add spinach, cover and simmer until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley. Puree the soup until smooth. (See headnote.) Shift the soup into a large bowl, season with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap and chill until cold about two hours or up to one day.

What is Differentiation? Content is what the students learn
It includes curriculum, topics, concepts, and themes We should be varying the students' learning process depending on how they learn Products are the outcome of instruction
They consolidate learning and communicate ideas
Products reflect understanding Differentiation is the consistent use of a variety of instructional approaches to modify instruction, content, and/or products in response to learned readiness and interest of academically diverse learners. We differentiate by pre-assessing students' skills and presenting them with an activity that meets their level or likeness Process is how students learn
How students make sense of information, ideas, and skills
It is the teaching methods used
The thinking skills involved
This reflects student learning styles and preferences Differentiation Before we start, let's discuss what a good definition of differentiation may be...
Think about strategies you have used in your classroom. Before we decide who is doing what, we must assess our students. This is not only ability, but also their interests. We must be ready to reach each and every child in our classroom. Let's discuss this...what types of assessments do you use to see not only where your children are in learning but also what types of learners they are. Remember, we like to include interests because engagement is very important! Discussion:
What is content?
How do we differentiate content?
How does differentiating content help our students? When assessing students, it is important to remember that we should be providing them with respectful work. This means:
Appropriate to grade level
Appropriate socially
It is challenging
Students are maintaining dignity while moving forward Every classroom should have a culture that work is respected, even when it isn't being graded. By differentiating, we provide students with choices that add depth to their learning We also provide resources that MATCH students' levels of learning Now let's talk about process... What is process?
What do you do with student processes in your classroom?
How do we differentiate process? Products We all know what a product is, but let's talk about what kinds of products we incorporate into our classrooms? Examples of differentiation content are:
Spelling and/or vocabulary lists for reading level
Providing material that needs to be read at an appropriate level for each student Now some examples of differentiating process... While having all students working on the same objectives, provide different levels of support and complexity Examples of differentiating products...
Student choice
Gardner's Intelligences
Independent study Let's make it easy... Let's now take a look at some differentiation strategies Anchor Activities: Allows a student to work on an on-going assignment independently through a unit Is an elaboration of important goals Purpose is to give students meaningful activities while the teacher is working with others But what does an anchor activity look like? Teach the whole class to work independently on the anchor activity Half the class works on the anchor activity Half the class works on another activity Students switch activities as they finish 1/3 of class works on anchor activity 1/3 of class works on another activity 1/3 of the class gets teacher instruction Anchor Activity Examples: Learning Centers
Listening Centers
Vocabulary Work
Taking Notes Discussion:
What can we add to this list? Choice Boards
Tic-Tac-Toe Boards Choice board that gives students 9 choices.
They must pick 3 in a row, column, or diagonal line
Activities vary in content, process, and product to reach all students' readiness and interests Remember... All activities should focus on learning goals
Represent activities that vary in learning preferences, challenges, and complexity
Control student choices by how you arrange the activities
Give the students rubrics
Keep Bloom's in mind when you are creating THE RAFT R=Role
T=Topic By doing a RAFT chart, you give students choices Benefits of the RAFT Chart Students have activity choices Is appealing to students' learning styles and interests Students use audiences outside of the classroom Uses Bloom's at a deeper level Can be differentiated in a variety of ways Possible Formats Advertisements Posters Newspaper
Articles Letters Diaries Eulogies Pamphlets Memos Interviews Invitations Skits Resumes Cartoons Yearbooks Let's share some other ideas... Cubing and Think Dots These 2 are very similar
Students either role a cube or a die
With the die, each number is assigned a task
Students complete activities in the order in which they are rolled This strategy is differentiated by not giving all students the same activities (different cube)
Students can work in groups because each one should have their own individual response even if they role the same number/cube side
Each cube/number should be differentiated to level and interest/learning style Tiers Start with the level where most students are at Tier down for students that need it Keep moving up the tier until students reach their highest level OR Start at the lowest level for everyone and move up one tier at a time Tiers... Teach at different levels of ability
Are diverse ways of learning
Promotes higher level learning Allows inclusion and integration of all students at all levels
Students learn key concepts through different ways
Accommodates many teaching and learning styles
Avoids assignments being too easy and too hard What can be tiered? Anchor activities
Writing prompts
Assessments What else can we tier? How do we tier? Complexity
Number of steps
Learning styles Any other suggestions? What did we learn? In your groups, plan a lesson using the style that is on the index card in the middle of your table. Be ready to present and discuss your lesson! Presentation by Lisa Lane Helpful Tools! References THE

By HT
Actor Preity Zinta on Thursday ruled out selling her stake in IPL franchise Kings XI Punjab.
Zinta had registered a molestation complaint last week against former boyfriend and industrialist Ness Wadia – who also co-owns KXIP -- alleging he had molested and abused her on May 30 during an IPL match at Wankhede stadium.
The Bombay Dyeing group scion has rejected her charges as "false and baseless".
"A big Thank U 2all the people 4the support. Amazed at how much speculation in the media. No I'm not selling my stake or settling in the US," she posted on her Twitter account.
"SO called sources says anything & its getting reported. Pls No hearsay. There are many IMP Issues in India which are much more news worthy," she added.
Kings XI Punjab had lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final of the recent IPL competition.
The Preity-Ness controversy got murkier on Wednesday as the Wadia Group claimed it had received threats from an underworld don warning 'harm' to its business interests if actor Preity Zinta was harassed.

Capital punishment
Brand Sheila took severe beating, as Delhi voted BJP back to power in MCD. Congress � relying heavily on Dikshit � failed to capture even one out of the three municipalities
Although Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has been ruling the Capital since the past 13 years, Delhi's civic body seems to be completely out of her reach. The Congress party and Brand Sheila took a severe beating yesterday, as Delhiites voted BJP back to power in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Congress, which was relying heavily on Dikshit, failed to capture even one out of the three municipalities. The party managed to secure just 75 out of the 272 seats.
In fact, the Congress was banking on the development work done prior to the 2010 Commonwealth Games that literally changed the face of Delhi. The party was prompt to sell Dikshit as 'mascot of development' in Delhi and the other party ruled states. The verdict was nothing but a shocker for the Congress party in general and Sheila Dikshit in particular. The reason: Despite strong opposition by BJP, and even by some of her own party leaders, Dikshit got the civic body divided into three parts last year.
Sources said the jolt that Dikshit experienced was stronger than it seemed because she was actively involved in the candidate selection process and had given tickets to her close confidants, completely sidelining the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) Chief J P Aggarwal. Even party insiders feel that dividing the corporation was unwarranted. "General public doesn't care if there's one or three municipalities in the city," said a Congress worker.
Jitender Kochhar, spokesperson of Delhi Congress, said the spiralling prices defeated the Congress. "The prime reason behind party's loss is the ever-increasing inflation," he said. Some party workers also claimed that the scams that pop-up at the Centre every other day proved too costly to the party.
The big jolt
What's more distressing for Sheila Dikshit is the fact that the party suffered defeat even in East Delhi municipality. Dikshit, her MP son Sandeep, and DPCC Chief JP Aggarwal represent East Delhi, which is considered a Congress bastion. Also, the party lost badly in areas represented by Union Ministers Ajay Maken, Kapil Sibal and Krishna Tirath. The only solace for the Congress came from South Delhi, where it managed to increase its tally.
