On the cross country course, basketball court, soccer field and track, Brown has been making her impact for the Lady Pirates for four years. Her prowess on the playing fields and high performance in the classroom earned the Lumberton senior The Robesonian/Mountaire Farms Scholar Athlete of the Month honor for March.
The AOTM program's mission is to highlight male and female senior student-athletes within Robeson County who carry a 3.0 GPA or higher. Nominees need to also be recognized by their coaches for outstanding sportsmanship and perform with superior ability in athletic competition.
For Brown, she sticks to the books-before-ballgames mantra, which has helped her manage a 4.2 weighted GPA while being a four-sport athlete — cross country in the fall, basketball in the winter, and soccer and track and field in the spring. She is also a member of Lumberton High's Beta Club and National Honor Society.
"I put my school before my sports," Brown, daughter of James and Joyce, said. "I'm always studying and staying on top of my assignments."
When she's wearing her Pirates' maroon and gold, Brown routinely helps her team stay on top of the competition.
This past winter, Brown helped lead the Lady Pirates basketball team to a first-place finish at the annual Robeson County Shootout with a 67-25 win over St. Pauls. Lumberton ended the season with a 13-13 overall record and a 4-5 Southeastern Conference mark, good enough for third in the league standings.
"I liked playing with those girls," said Brown, the team's point guard.
Currently, Brown is juggling her time between classes and two springs sports, soccer and track and field. She is a starting defender on the soccer team and throws the shot put and discus for the track team.
"She's a very good teammate and garners a great amount of respect with her work ethic and personality," Lumberton soccer coach Kenny Simmons said. "As a four year varsity soccer player, she anchors the teams defense."
Meanwhile in track and field, Brown has molded into a state-level thrower. Her best finish was a fourth-place showing in the shot put at the NCHSAA championships as a freshman.
"I've been to state every year since I got in high school," Brown said. "I've been doing it (throwing) since I was eight for AAU track and field."
This last Thursday at a home meet, Brown recorded her farthest shot put throw to date with a 40-foot, 11-inch toss.
"I hope to win state in the shot put. I want to throw 43 (feet) by the end of the year," Brown said.
Her top-tier throwing and high GPA caught the attention of college coaches.
Brown chose to stay close to home and attend Mount Olive College where she'll compete on the women's track and field team. A true multi-sport athlete, Brown is also considering trying out for the basketball team.

Complete Coverage: The Fake Rockefeller Trial and San Marino Murder Mystery
Exclusive: Fake Rockefeller attorneys plan to pin murder on missing wife
LOS ANGELES -- A swimming pool contractor Tuesday recalled digging up a human skull in the backyard of a San Marino home as a prosecutor displayed pictures of the skull and detached jawbone for a jury in the murder trial of a man who posed as Clark Rockefeller.
Jose Perez, Jr. who alongside his father dug nearly 9,000 pools in the San Gabriel Valley, was the first witness at the trial of the fake Rockefeller, whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, 52.
About three feet into their pool dig, Perez, driving a Bobcat, recalled striking something that at first appeared to be buried trash and a fiberglass box.
"We thought it was bags of garbage," Perez, now a cement truck driver, recalled. "After my father dragged that bag off to the side, he pulled out one of the bags and started digging through it. He grabbed a piece of rebar and pulled out a skull. At that point we were all freaked out. He sat the skull down and called the cops."
Under cross examination, Perez said a jawbone at the scene detached itself from the skull when his father pulled it out of the bag at the crime scene in 1994.
A German national, Gerhartsreiter has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutor Habib Balian claims Gerhartsreiter was on the lam since at least 1988 and changed his identity to Clark Rockefeller to avoid detection. As Rockefeller, the man lived the high life as a member of Boston society.
In 2008, Gerhartsreiter was arrested in connection with the kidnapping of his daughter Reigh Snooks Boss. He was convicted in that case and is being held in Men's Central Jail.
Throughout court Tuesday, Rockefeller, dressed in a blue blazer and grey slacks took notes with a pencil and monitored photographic evidence, including photos of a smashed skull that were displayed in court.

The best instant access savings accounts
Instant access accounts mean you can get your hands on your money easily, but many rely on big bonuses to boost the initial rate of interest. Here are the top ones right now.
It's hard to know where to put your savings to get the best return on your money at the moment.
Savers have been suffering from the effects of the record low base rate for a few years now, but locking up your cash to get a decent rate is not a sacrifice many are willing to make with such an uncertain economy.
The trusty instant access savings account could be your best bet if you need your cash in a hurry and have reached your Cash ISA limit (currently £5,760).
But even rates on these accounts have been falling recently, due in part to the Government's Funding for Lending scheme meaning banks and building societies are less dependent on raising cash by attracting savers.
Therefore it's worth looking at the whole of the savings market before you open an account as you could get a higher rate in a fixed-rate savings account – if you're happy with having your money locked away.
With an instant access savings account, you can add to your savings pot and (usually) withdraw the money at any time. Because of this flexibility banks typically offer lower rates compared to fixed-rate accounts, but you still get a better return than if you did nothing.
When it comes to instant access saving, you can either go for an account with a bonus, which boosts your interest rate (usually for about a year), or opt for a gimmick-free account with no bonus, just an upfront interest rate.
The bonus rate makes the advertised offer look that little bit juicier. But as soon as the period is up banks will revert dump you onto a far less attractive rate.
It's not a problem if you are happy to shop around and switch accounts regularly but if you can't be bothered, then an instant access savings account with no bonus is a better option.
Top instant access accounts with a bonus
Account |
Interest rate (gross AER) |
Minimum deposit |
Withdrawal limits |
Bonus |
1.70% |
£1,000 |
None |
Rate includes a 1.20% bonus fixed until 30th June 2014. |
1.70% |
£1,000 |
One penalty-free withdrawal a year |
Rate includes a 1.20% bonus fixed for the first 12 months |
Triodos Bank Online Saver Plus |

Post Office Online Saver |
1.50% |
£1 |
None |
Rate includes 0.60% bonus fixed for first 12 months. |
So there are no accounts that break through the 2% mark - most pay well below this threshold.
Even with the top rate of 1.70% you won't beat inflation (the Consumer Prices Index stands at 2.8% currently), so putting your cash in this account means you're effectively losing money.
It's also worth noting that two of the accounts above actually limit your access to your cash.

Four penalty-free withdrawals a year |
West Brom BS Branch Easy Access Saver 3 | 1.60% | £1,000 | Two penalty-free withdrawals a year |
*You must have a Nationwide current account and be registered for online banking to open.
The main benefit of opening an account without a bonus is knowing that 12 months down the line you're unlikely to see your interest rate plummet. However, your interest rate could be cut anyway as they are variable, so make sure you keep an eye on your account.
Current account alternatives
At the moment some of the best rates on easy access savings can actually be found in a current account.
The Nationwide FlexDirect Current Account pays 5% on balances up to £2,500 for 12 months.
While the Santander 123 Current Account pays 3% in-credit interest on balances between £3,000 and £20,000.
Elsewhere the Lloyds Current Account with Vantage pays 3% on balances between £3,000 and £5,000.

Got a great deal on this beauty. Not into .32's, but I do love Colts. Also included a large supply of ammunition. Anyone have any experience with the 1903's ?

Got a great deal on this beauty. Not into .32's, but I do love Colts. Also included a large supply of ammunition. Anyone have any experience with the 1903's ?
You'll find this pistol pleasant and reliable to shoot. I reload .32s, and mine has been amenable to eating about anything it's fed. Nice specimen; enjoy.
Beautiful gun. I have my grandfather's 1903, manufactured in 1924. Despite the tiny sights vs my old eyes, it is far and away the most accurate of all my handguns.
Wish mine was a good looking as that one is, my only complaint about them is that tiny sight. Otherwise they are a fine shooting pistol.
I just purchased my 1919 production year Colt 1903 and have been nothing but happy with it. The pistol fires amazingly. With this ammo shortage going on the 32 acp has been one of the few ammunitions I've been able to find in stock regularly due to its lower demand, which is a nice plus for me. The only problem I have with it is the difficulty in finding spare magazines. Can't believe this gun isn't still being produced, considering how reliable it is and how easy it is to field strip and maintain. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have been enjoying mine.
I inherited my Dad's 1903, made the same year he was born - 1918. I keep her clean and oiled, and when I take her to the range I remember Dad.
My wife used it for a pocket pistol here at the farm until I bought her a 38 revolver and she killed a couple diamondback rattlers with it.

Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Daniel Harrell on Embracing Science
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.
No Fear
In this video Conversation, Os Guinness notes that Christians should be able to relate their faith to all sorts of issues, including science, and should have no fear of doing so. Guinness quotes George Whitfield, who said, "I'm never better than when I'm on the full stretch for God."
Protecting our Children
Recently BioLogos received the following comment: "I am a Christian and have come to believe in evolution. However, I struggle with how to teach my children to approach science and the Bible in a way that doesn't retard them intellectually or destroy their faith in the accuracy of the Bible..."
Using Film to Catalyze Conversations on Faith and Science
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Ask an Evolutionary Creationist: A Q&A with Dennis Venema
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
Daniel Harrell on Embracing Truth
In this video, Daniel Harrell affirms that science is not the only way to pursue truth. Rather, truth happens in a variety of different ways and each one ultimately leads to an understanding of God.
All Truth is God's Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter remarks: "I believe that all truth is God's truth," says Hunter, "so I am never afraid of truth—no matter who it comes from."
Faith with Inquiry
As author of The Fossil Hunter, I've found myself writing and speaking a great deal these days about the reconciliation of science and religion. But somehow I fear I've failed to make a connection with my own children as I've attempted to get this same message across.
The Sorrows and Joys of Teaching Evolution at an Evangelical Christian University
As a biology professor, I have the profound privilege of teaching the principles of evolutionary biology to a variety of students. As one might expect, teaching this subject matter at times engenders controversy, crises of faith, anger and fear in students (and others).
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.

Officer Jeff Taylor, Who Died On Duty After May 22nd Tornado, Honored Today
By: Drew Moore
Updated: May 6, 2012
JEFFERSON CITY, MO-- A ceremony to honor the lives of 9 fallen officers was held today in Jefferson City. A dozen family members of Officer Jefferson Taylor came to honor his memory. Taylor's Aunt, Susan Harcourt, says the ceremony was bittersweet. "Everything was just so beautiful. It's just hard that he couldn't be here."
Taylor served as a Master Patrolman with the Riverside Police Department. He was struck by lightning on May 23rd while on duty responding to the Joplin tornado. Riverside Police Captain Gary Mcmullin says Taylor's loss is had a big impact on his department. "We got through it. We're getting through it with our officers, and with the family.
Including Taylor, 9 officers who died within the last two years received name plates in the Missouri Law Enforcement Memorial. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon spoke at the ceremony. "You are here this morning in a show of compassion and solidarity for your fellow officers, who are no longer with us." Nixon said. "And for their families who are."
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster says it's important to honor the officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice. "It's the men and women in blue who always answer the call for help."
Taylor's grandmother, Phyllis Taylor, says it was tragic to lost such a great man. "We are not alone in this game. I hope that nobody else has to go through it."

Best Uses
Comments about Yurbuds Focus Behind-the-ear Earphone Electronics: I have searched for years for ear buds that don't fall out when I'm running. I took a chance on Yurbuds and am very pleased. I've been using them for about 5 months now and have never once had them fall out. I will say that I removed the piece that wraps around the ear because it didn't fit properly and I didn't need it anyway. They stay in place great without it!
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Yurbuds Focus Behind-the-ear Earphone Electronics: they stay in place more securely than any other earphones I ever tried. The sound is also outstanding.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Yurbuds Focus Behind-the-ear Earphone Electronics: I have searched for a long time for an earbud/earphone that wouldn't fall out. This is the first one I have tried that actually stays in my ear canals. I have narrow ear canals and my right canal takes off at a bizarre angle. As a result, I have never been able to find an earbud that will stay in despite how many different sizes of rubber grommets the manufacturer includes. Even high end earbuds (i.e. Dr Dre) fall out. The sound might be superb but when the earbuds fall out every 15-20 seconds the sound quality becomes irrelevant. The shape of these buds fits the ear canal sort of like a hearing aid. The plastic composition of the bud keeps them slipping out of my ears during my long runs, whereas the rubberized tip buds have always failed me. What's weird is that when I properly seat the bud into my right ear, I can't use the over-the-ear loop because of the bizarre angle of my ear canal relative to the ear lobe. So on the right, the over-the-ear loop actually sits off my ear lobe and yet the bud stays in place. It looks rather strange but I'm ecstatic that I have finally found a pair of buds that I can put in and forget during my runs.
Pros Cons
Best Uses Comments about Yurbuds Focus Behind-the-ear Earphone Electronics: The earbuds won't stay in/on my ears. I actually stopped at a Yurbuds booth recently at an expo, asking the guy if I was putting them in wrong, and he commented that he wishes they would take them off the market since they're so bad. If I actually get the bud in my ear, I go to adjust the ear and it pops the bud out. Messing with the ears during a run can totally ruin your rhythm.

High tech jobs are being outsourced, as is an increasing share of the work historically handled by our accountants, lawyers, and some other professionals.

Sorry for the lack of posts
morgothan | 1 04 2009Firstly I want to apologize for the lack of posts in the past couple of months. I recently accepted a position in my company that had me move to Germany. So I have not really had anytime to update. This being said since I am now living in Germany my Kung Fu training is unfortunately going on hiatus. I do plan on still working out, and practicing forms on my own, and with whoever is around that wants to join me. We will see how this works out, and how bad I change things when I get back to the school in a year or so from now. Other then this I have had some significant accomplishments in Kung Fu since last I posted. Firstly I received my black sash in shaolin, and my purple(advanced) in both Hsing Yi, and Pa Kua. It will be a focus of mine while I am here to work on my internals, and hopefully not forget too much of what I have learned from them. I have also taken a large amount of photos from the school. I plan on uploading them to the gallery section of the site soon.

DT50-112 or DT50-212
Like (0)
Currently, I have an HD500 and hate the sound of my current amp. Would I gain anything by purchasing a DT50-112 vs a DT50-212 amp?
Based on you experiences, is it worth the extra bucks?
the DT50 is a great amp! i have the 112, the biggest difference with the 212 is the second speaker is a vintage 30, so it's more than just a second speaker, since it has a different voice... having said that i'm plenty happy with the 112.
I think so...but I'm probably biased as I have a DT-50 112 and a HD500.
Just ordered a 212. Hope it arrives this week. I'm looking forward to some amazing sounds.
Thanks for the responses.
Just received my DT50 212. Love it. Just updated to the latest firmware. Like the idea that I can create tones using Midi Editors and not have to plug in my HD500.
Question: Does anybody find that there is a lot of background noise/hiss even at the minimal volume levels?
If you are getting a fair amount of hiss, you might have a bad 12ax7. It is common for Chinese tubes to be noisy, so try replacing it. It should be covered under warranty within 90 days of purchase. If you have another tube around, try swapping it out to see if that is the problem.
BTW- If your amp is in Class A mode, it will be noisy. That's just the way is is. It should be very quiet in Class AB mode. The noise isn't a problem in Class A at normal gig levels.
Got the same problem with my 112 (one of the very first unit). I finally returned it and bought a real bogner (used)!
I posted on this forum about the problem. I even attached an audio sample on which you could clearly hear the noise.

Census asks employees to grade themselves to cut costs
Agency leaders hope employees will help the Census Bureau fill critical workforce skills gaps. The self-assessments are aimed at upgrading the way workers collect, process and analyze data about the U.S. ahead of the 2020 census.
00Census workers and skills self-assessmentJeremiahThere appears to be a not quite hidden agenda here. Workers are being asked to catalog their existing skill sets, ostensibly for the purpose of identifying training needs and redeplyment options. But the article states: "[Census] Leaders might also offer new rounds of buyouts and early retirements to make room for new employees who already possess the skills necessary to modernize census operations." Note that the dread "RIF" word is not used, but it's clear that efforts to eliminate those who may have self-identified their skills as obsolete or at best obsolescent will be targeted for encouraged voluntary (and perhaps involuntary if deemed necesssary to clear the perceived "deadwood") departure. This may give pause to those being so surveyed. Also, the article cites, without foundation the claim that the Bureau has "saved" $2 billion over the last two census counts. This is risible at best. GAO concluded in earlier reports that in the run-up to the 2010 census the Bureau had wasted $3 billion in a failed attempt - due almost entirely to poor contractual oversight on Bureau management's part - to automate the evaluator data collection process, and required massive supplemental appropriations to fund the continuing use of the previous manual data collection process. Reportage on agency operations could be improved if reporters did not rely solely on the press releases and other self-serving statements put out by agency public relations flacks that are little better than airbrushed history.33026{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Customer Reviews
Copper is different working than it's steel cousin
I love the look of copper but have discovered that you want a heavier gauge than 20 , These are excellent quality eye pins but too flimsy for my liking and being copper stretch easily when bending to put the eye at the other end . Good for light weight builds , but wasn't what I was looking for will order the heaviest I can find next time.

these are another thing I love to have on hand.

I have the eye pins in every color and I have used them to make earrings, but I think I like the headpins and ball-pins better. The eye-pins make me feel like there should be another bead on the end. kdnkdd

Leads, And customers With A 3-Step,
Complete Internet Marketing System
Other SEO Companies Have It Wrong!
They Focus On Rankings, Not Revenue. Plus, They Only Give You One Part Of The Puzzle.But Keep Reading This Message To Discover How Our SEO Blueprint™ Will Allow You To Cherry-Pick Your Ideal Customers And Clients By Creating A Complete Marketing Machine That Gets You A Constant Flow Of Visitors And Grows Your Business!
(even while you sleep)
Best Part: You Can Do It With NO Cold Calling…
And NO 50+ Hour Workweeks (Imagine That!)
And It's 100% Done For You!
…when you make a positive decision to have the SEO Blueprint™ done for you, you'll achieve these 3 key areas to generate massive visitors, leads, and customers:
- Step 1: Get Found by Prospects (Ranking & Traffic). At the precise moment your clients are looking for your products or services, you'll be the business they see. This will be accomplished for you by having your site show on the search engines when your most profitable keyword is searched.
Social media and networks will be leveraged to turn a single success into a referral engine.
That's just 2 of the 24 free traffic sources that will bring you a stream of visitors. And if you want a torrent of visitors, you can have paid traffic sources activated for your business.
- Step 2: Turn Traffic into Sales (Lead Generation & Nurturing). Only 5% of your visitors will buy the first visit. By using landing pages and call to actions you can turn the traffic into leads, and then turn these leads into sales through email marketing and lead nurturing. On this step you need to build credibility, trust and position yourself as their best option (an expert, the best product, etc).
- Step 3: Analyze and Improve (Sales Growth & Reporting). You'll have web marketing analytic software installed that constantly monitors your campaign and looks for opportunities of growth. This software will be looking for keywords that if move up in rankings will produce more traffic, pages that if improved will produce more conversions, keywords that visitors are using to come to your site but there are not pages targeting them, etc. If there is an opportunity for growing your business, this step is going to reveal them to you.

We first get to know your business, your audience, your market and your goals. We make sure that your website has the technical foundation to succeed (site audit), and we look at what your competitors are doing that works well or find holes on their marketing that we can take advantage of.
We then use our psychologically proven keyword research system to cherry-pick your ideal customers and clients, the type of visitors who are most likely to buy from you and pay you for your products or services. This step is fundamental to make sure the whole system is successful and our keyword research system has been proven to work time after time.

It's no secret that it takes a huge amount of skill and experience to implement our SEO Blueprint™.
In fact, in many respects it looks a lot like hard work. It requires intelligence, experience, craft, and expertise in a wide range of disciplines. But experience has shown that it works, time and time again for our biggest clients for many years and it works no matter what your market is, from florist, lawyers, e-commerce sites, B2B, B2C, affiliate sites, etc.
And we're proud that many companies around the world have adopted it; we've spent the past 11 years working with large corporations and small-to-medium-sized businesses. Double-digit improvements are the norm.
In summary, it works.

Inn Marketing | Top 10 Inn Marketing tips for B & Bs | Bed and Breakfast Marketing Tips
For the avid traveler there are is plethora of lodging choices, most of which come in the form of a generic hotel chain with large marketing budgets. How do smaller Inns and B & Bs compete? First, the community as a whole needs to do a better job of educating the public on why boutique Inns and B & Bs are a better choice for most travelers. Second, the B & B proprietor needs to become more inn marketing savvy and glean an understanding of how to leverage the new rules of marketing and P/R.
The smaller lodging facility will never be able to compete with larger hotel chains for those seeking meeting space/resource hogging amenities, but that's okay because in so many other categories, the Inn / B & B outperforms.
Today it's imperative to fully embrace the web when it comes to your inn marketing initiatives, as marketing now revolves around it. The following inn marketing tips will help drive more traffic and interest to your B & B or inn.
1) Your Website – It's imperative to have a compelling website…image is everything! You have a mere three seconds to make an impression with your prospects…this is particularly important if you don't get a lot of traffic to your site (each visit is crucial). You should have your website professionally built, it's just too important to your success to leave it to the neighborhood kid. You should address your web presence every two to three years as the web is a technology, and therefore changes rapidly. Use quality images and video to showcase your inn / B & B.
Note: Be sure not to over-deliver and under-promise by inflating how wonderful your B & B really is…referral business is crucial.
2) Video – Use video on your website to showcase your facility and to introduce the innkeepers. Talk about what makes your B & B special. A video three minutes or less is best.
Note: YouTube is the second most popular search engine; therefore optimizing your video for search traffic can be very helpful.
3) Follow up – Referral business is EXTREMELY important for any small business. Here is a simple tip to increase your referral business…when your guests check-in, get their birth date, physical and email addresses—when they check-out send a handwritten note thanking them for staying with you and encourage them to write a review on Google Places, TripAdvisor and/or Yelp. Each year be sure to send a birthday card with well wishes and perhaps a discount coupon. This will keep your B&B/Inn top-of- mind with your guests for their future lodging needs. This proactive good-will will also help fuel positive word-of-mouth advertising.
4) Social Media – Utilize social media websites to build a fan-base/followers…this is a great way to keep in touch with past guests and perhaps attract news ones. You can write posts on good restaurants in the area, things to do, places to visit, seasonal specials, etc. Consider the following sites: Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Foursquare, YouTube and others.
Note: Also worth noting…when you have profiles on these social media sites you get to include your website address (url), this helps build referral traffic to your website while also having an external link to your website, which the search engines look at as one of their algorithm metrics when ranking your site in a search query.
5) Mobile/Smartphones – Smartphone mobile devices are revolutionizing the way we communicate, it's like having full-blown minicomputer right in our hands. According to Neilson, by mid 2011 nearly 60% of mobile users will be using phones connected to the internet. What does this mean for the lodging industry? It means a good percentage of people are going to learn about your business not by searching Google, Yahoo or Bing, but rather a GPS social networking review site like TripAdvisor, Yelp, Where, FourSquare and others. Good reviews are crucial to business; mediocrity is becoming more and more difficult to get away with. Get familiar and be aware of this emerging technology and look for inn marketing opportunities.
6) What are People saying? - Knowing what people are saying about you online is very important…if someone says something negative, you need to try and rectify the situation; a bad review can have a lasting effect on your business. There is no way that you can please all the people all of the time—most people realize this when reading reviews, so don't stress-out if you get a poor one, just try and do something about it. First, subscribe to Google Alerts, each time there is a mention of your business, Google will send you an email you. If you find a poor review on Yelp for example, login and address the concern the person had. Try and take the conversation offline via email or phone call…offer the person a free dinner or free night's stay if they amend or delete their post/comment. Bottom line, try and do the right thing.
7) Testimonials – Posting testimonials on your website is great, however what would be even better is getting your guests on video. If you really connect with a guest, simply ask them if they would mind saying a few things in front of the camera. If that feels a bit contrived, post a sign or include the question on a comment card or something, that way guests who are comfortable being in front of the camera can come to you. Don't have a video camera? May I suggest the Kodak Zi8, it's a very good quality camera, simple to use and very affordable.
8) Search Engine Optimization – It's really worthwhile to hire a professional to optimize your site for search engine traffic. In addition, any time you post a comment on a blog or upload a video, make sure to add applicable tags.
9) Blog Posts & Comments – If you have a blog on your website, great! If not, what you can do is create a list of applicable blogs in which you could visit from time-to-time and write a comment on a particular post that might be related or applicable to your bed and breakfast (be sure to include your website link), you will be amazed at what kind of referral traffic you can generate to your website.
Note: Search engines love blogs for the quality, quantity and frequency of content, so consider adding one to your website. Blog posts could include, new restaurants/activities in your area, improvements to the Inn, interesting stories from guests, acknowledgments, etc. All the content you develop can be used/duplicated on your social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
10) The Plan – I know how incredibly busy it is being an innkeeper/proprietor and that marketing often falls by the wayside. In addition, I'm sure many of the items I listed here may seem a bit overwhelming. My suggestion is to put together a plan, not all of the stuff above needs to be done overnight. Carve out a couple days per week in which you can dedicate time to your marketing efforts. Many of the items above are DIY and require more time than money.
If you would like further clarification on any of the top-10 inn marketing tips provided, please feel free to contact me…I'm happy to be of service.

We rushed on this trip to Phuket, simply because of the lower air fare which came as an result of the worsening situation in Bangkok.
Day 1
Have to admit that I did worry a bit at first, but the cloud above my head completely vanished at the moment we walked out the airport. Outside in the waiting hall, our driver greets us with a big smile and the typical Thai-style "Sawadeekha~ ". Looking around, I found that we were not the only one who dare to come during this harsh time…
Actually, there are plenty of taxis outside the airport, so shouldn't be a problem if you didn't pre-book a transfer.
It takes around 300 baht to Phuket. The rate is what displayed on the meter and plus 100 baht airport tax. The meter will start with a 50 baht display. You may stumble upon a freelance taxi driver who will take you from the Airport to Patong for the flat fee of 400 baht. If the driver is pleasant, you may want to ask for his mobile number for the return trip later. The same driver may take you from Patong to Phuket Town for 350 to 400 baht.
After about 1 hour's driving, we reached our hotel –Royal Paradise, a 4 star hotel near Patong Beach. The hotel looks nice compared with other hotels in this area. They have royal wing rooms that face swimming pool and paradise wing that faces hill.
We quite enjoy our stay there, except that no bellboy help us with luggage; receptionists ineffective and never smile; little choice for breakfast and; my friend lost her watch in their lady's room and no one seems to care!!!
After everything settled down, we went to the nearest shopping center for some daily necessities…My poor friend got her brand-new sunblock lotion confiscated when passing through the custom. This story tells us no need to pack too many things as you can easily buy here.
Around 15:00, we finally managed to Patong beach. As they all say beaches in Thailand are more beautiful than beaches elsewhere, and I think they are right about it.
Chair rental normally costs 100 Baht per chair per day, but we got a discount because we came in late afternoon. If you bring your own mat or sit on the sand it's totally FREE:)
If you fond of water sports, activities like Parachuting, Banana Boat and Jet Ski are all reasonably charged.
Early morning, we waited at hotel lobby for transfer to catch our ferry for one day Phi Phi Cruise Trip. The trip charges about 1000 Baht / person including land transfer, meal and cruise.
On the cruise, we met Paul, a photographer from Boston and, Sato san who comes from Tokyo… And some of these nice pictures are contributed byPaul. Thanks for them, we had a nice talk to get by the long sailing. (I don't know if we get on the slowest boat in Phuket, but surely we were passed by many boats that left harbor later than ours.)
Before lunch time, we stopped for snorkeling. The sea is crystal and beautiful. Unfortunately, I forgot my damn swimming suit in hotel!
P.S: There is a charge of 20Baht for entering Phi Phi.
After a set lunch in Phi Phi Hotel, we directly headed to the beach. It won't take long to walk through this small island, but … Oh – My – Lady Gaga!!!! The beach in Phi Phi is just BEAUTIFUL!
From the beach, I felt like I could view the outline of Maya Bay. If you have ever seen the Hollywood blockbuster The Beach, starring by Leo Decaprio, there is where it was shot. Oh… I do hope he's still there!
After a full body massage at the "happy life", we had dinner in the celebrated "Number 6" (This is one of the highly recommended restaurants in phuket, you can find more from Phuket Travel Guide This restaurant really lives up to its high reputation. We had 6 BBQ oysters, 1 sour spicy fish, a full plate of prawns, fresh vegetables and other side dishes, and it only cost about 1000 Bhat+…oh, I almost forgot the coconuts…
Around 19.00 pm., we walked along Patong beach road to the night market and bars. While I was walking, I saw souvenir shops, clothes shops, restaurants. Now I understand why many tourists come to Phuket and especially Patong. You can see from the picture on the left.
The last day, we rented a motorcycle and drove to Central festival in Phuket Town. 40 minutes driving from Patong area. For motorcycle is 200 Baht per 24hrs. However, the road is steep and winding, green-handeds are not encourage to risk their life…
Before leaving we went to "Happy Life" again. Highly recommend this massage house outside hotel Royal Paradise.
Bye bye, Phuket….I will be back soon:)

In recent years, increasing amounts of money have been poured into the protection of the border region in the name of national security and immigration enforcement. Since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003, Customs and Border Patrol's (CBP) budget has nearly doubled from $6 billion in FY 2003 to $11.7 billion for FY 2012. The necessity of these escalating costs is questionable, especially when considering that no clear metrics exist to measure border security and when apprehensions at the border are at their lowest in 40 years.
On January 30, 2013 AILA released their report, Border Security: Moving Beyond Past Benchmarks, that urges lawmakers to move beyond massive expenditure on resource buildup at the border. (AILA Doc. No. 13013051.) This report examines past immigration reform proposals, specifically the 2006, 2007, and 2010 Senate bills (S. 2611, S.1639, and S.3932), and evaluates the proposals in these four areas: operational control, border personnel, border infrastructure and technology, and detention.
Read the Washington Post's article on the report.
