Ann Widdecombe on praying with Patsy Kensit, why Strictly's less bitchy than politics - and the tragedy that nearly made her quit the show...
When it came to it, her quickstep was pretty shambolic. There had been
a point during rehearsals earlier in the week when Ann Widdecombe had thought it might not turn out that bad.
But then the music started and Ann dumped her feather boa and stomped down the stairs with the sort of grim intent of someone heading off a group of hoodies.
No amount of fancy footwork from her partner Anton du Beke could help. 'The look on your face,' judge Bruno Tonioli exclaimed. 'It said, "I'm gonna get through this no matter what." '
Loyal fan: Ann Widdecombe with her only brother Malcolm in 2005. He died of cancer a month ago during the Strictly series
As for fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood, his view was caustic: 'You managed to turn a gorgeous red feather boa into a dishcloth, darling.'
Given the usual way of these things, one might have expected tears of fury or frustration from a much maligned Strictly celebrity.
But not Ann. She planted her size two (and three-quarters) feet firmly, pulled herself up to her full five foot one (and a bit) inches and squawked: 'But was it better than last week, Craig? Was it better than the salsa?'
Given that her salsa had earned an all-time low score of one from Craig, here was a point Ann knew she would win. Never knowingly on the back foot (never knowingly on any foot, her dance critics might say), Ann enjoyed her small triumph. Craig scored her three.
She told presenter Tess Daly to 'stop going on' in her post-dance interview. And, never one to miss a chance to canvass votes, promised a surprise the following week if she and Anton remained in the competition.
It was just as Ann had wanted – business as usual. She'd danced badly, bit back at the judges and hovered disconcertingly between harridan and coquette as she asked Bruce Forsyth: 'Am I still your favourite?'
Nobody knew that, only four days before, Ann had received the devastating news that her brother Malcolm – her sole sibling – had died. Or that she had decided, on hearing the news, to pull out of the competition.
Devoted: Ann at five weeks old in 1947 with her mother Rita, who died three years ago, and brother Malcolm
That was a month ago. Now she reflects: 'My brother had been very ill with cancer for some time. A couple of weeks before – the waltz week – he had been right as rain. He was taking tremendous fun in watching me getting hauled around the dancefloor.
'Then he deteriorated very quickly. One of his last acts of consciousness was turning his head towards the television to look at me as I performed the salsa. The next day he lapsed into a sleep, not exactly a coma, but he didn't wake up.'
Ann, 63, was in rehearsals on Tuesday, October 12, when the news came that Malcolm had died.
'My immediate reaction,' she says evenly, 'was to come out of the competition – to stop. It was the family – my sister-in-law and his children – who persuaded me not to. They said it had given him such joy. So I carried on.
'Strictly was wonderfully sensitive about Malcolm's death,' she says. 'They had said I could miss a week, but I chose not to. Malcolm's daughter, my niece, came to be in the audience.
'I told them they were not to mention it on the night, that I didn't want anyone saying anything or making a fuss, making allowances or any of that nonsense.
'The one concession they made was that Anton and I were first to find out we were staying into the next week. Every other week they keep the suspense going to the last minute.'
Pausing, Ann adds with a sort of proud harrumph: 'You know, Malcolm had been vicar of the same church in Bristol for 47 years, so you can imagine that the church was packed for the funeral. He was ten years older than me. I always used to say we were pre-war, post-war. Or as he would say, "Quality and utility." '
Still funny: Anton du Beke grabbed Ann's leg at the end of their foxtrot which the judges still found funny even though they weren't playing it for laughs
She laughs at the memory, then sets her jaw and tilts her head in a sort of silent 'next', making it clear that this line of enquiry has been dealt with.
But it is also clear that Ann is not one to capitalise on such things. In the world of reality TV, where contestants vie to outdo each other with sob stories, she stands apart.
Ann has no interest in sympathy. She wants, she insists, to entertain – as she certainly did last night, dancing the foxtrot in a shocking pink gown to You Make Me Feel So Young.
She has no time for the notion of 'the journey' that every Strictly contestant seems compelled to make. It played no part in her decision to take part in the show. She wasn't 'lacking' anything or needing 'validation'.
She says: 'At least two people here said that they had come on to increase their self-confidence. I must say I thought at the time, what a damn silly way to repair self-confidence. But it seems to have worked for them.
'But I do not have a journey,' she insists, each word delivered in that familiar shrill staccato. 'It's psycho¬babble. Rot!'
While Ann knows she is the star of the show, she isn't in the slightest cowed by talk of a campaign to vote or force her off, like John Sergeant before her. 'This is the storm that always rages whenever you get a pantomime horse that lasts,' she says.
'But if it was solely dancing it would be on BBC Sport and you would begin with evenly matched dancers. You wouldn't begin with an Ann Widdecombe and a Kara Tointon.
'When I stand in front of the judges I'm a bit of comic relief for them. It's not just a dance competition – it is entertainment and I can entertain.'
It would be a brave or even foolish person who might suggest that the need to entertain – or as she puts it, 'to win over' an audience – is in itself a search for validation of a sort. After all, for years she has addressed Parliament and Conservative Party conferences.
And she is no stranger to television – she has taken part twice in Celebrity Fit Club, guest-hosted Have I Got News For You and furiously addressed social issues in the ITV series Ann Widdecombe Versus.
So why did she agree to enter Strictly, a show that she has, by her own admission, turned down every year since 2004?
Making an entrance: Bruno said their foxtrot to Frank Sinatra's You Make Me Feel So Young was like Anton dancing 'with a bottle of Pepto Bismol'
With the smile of someone explaining something obvious to a simpleton, she says: 'There are some programmes I disapprove of, like Big Brother, but Strictly's not one of them. There were two things that changed my mind about taking part.
'At first, I just didn't think I could do it. It seemed to me you had to be semi-professional in a fortnight and that was ridiculous. Then I saw John Sergeant and I thought, yes, it is possible. You can do it at your own pace even if you are a clodhopper or you galumph around the stage. So that was the first thing.
'The second thing was that I retired. I had time and I didn't have a duty of dignity or gravitas to 72,000 constituents or to the party. After some negotiation about what I would and wouldn't do, I agreed.
'I won't wear anything I consider revealing – and I have quite stern standards on that – and I won't do any moves that I consider suggestive. Anton hasn't pushed any boundaries on that front. Other than that, I thought it would be fun. And it is fun – tremendous fun.
Friendship: Ann revealed she and fellow Strictly contestant Patsy Kensit pray together to St Jude, the patron saint of lost causes
'I get on very well with everyone here, especially Patsy Kensit. I do love Patsy. We both pray to St Jude, the patron saint of hopeless causes. But she's getting rather good so I'm going to ask him to back off her.
'You know, outside my dressing-room window there's a bit where they all smoke and gossip and I've not heard one unpleasant thing about anybody. That's the difference between showbusiness and politics. It wasn't like that in Parliament.'
Sitting in her dressing room, Ann is perched on a lumpy-looking tartan chair. The plastic casing around her dressing-table mirror is peeling away. The carpet is grubby and the wallpaper may once have been a colour but it certainly isn't now.
Before our interview she had been busily signing pictures of herself with Anton du Beke. Afterwards she must write on her blog, then it's off to hair and make-up – 'terribly overdone, never again will I wear glitter on my eyelids' – before a costume fitting and blocking out the dance routines in the studio.
Smiling through: Ann said she was still thoroughly enjoying being on Strictly and was glad she'd carried on despite her brother's death
Ann certainly isn't high maintenance. Throughout our talk she wears dark glasses, not in some starry affectation but because earlier in the day she had attended Moorfields Eye Hospital for a check-up following an operation for a detached retina earlier in the year.
She came very close to losing the sight in her left eye. It was July and she had been pottering in her garden in Devon when she noticed some wisps – 'a bit like cobwebs' – in her left eye.
'A couple of evenings later I noticed a slight black triangle at the bottom right-hand corner of the eye,' she says, 'which stayed put even as I moved my head.'
She thought it odd and made an appointment at Moorfields the following day, as she was heading to London anyway. By the time she arrived she could hardly see out of the eye at all. 'I really was very lucky,' she admits. 'Speed is of the essence in these things.' An operation followed swiftly.
'Today was the second and last check-up. It's not painful but they have to dilate your pupils to have a good look in there. My perception of you right now is rather odd,' she says, wiggling her glasses. 'I shall see double for about eight hours.'
She will face another operation in six months. 'The downside of this treatment is that it gives you a cataract, so that will have to be treated.' Any suggestion that this is a daunting prospect is batted away. 'You get on with it, don't you?' she asserts.
She had been offered the job of British Ambassador to the Vatican and was seriously considering it during the summer. She admits that 'the eye thing' was the main reason for turning it down. But she insists: 'Even before that happened, I was debating it.
'I was thinking, do I really want three years, as an expat, concentrating on this job? Do I really want a job that's going to take all day, every day in a heaving, hot capital city? If that's what I really want, why don't I stay in politics?
'Some people – the viewing commentators, if I can put it that way, rather than the viewing public, who after all have kept me in Strictly – can't grasp that I have moved on. That's why they have an issue with seeing me dragged across the floor in the paso doble.
'One columnist, for example, asked, "What will Ann's future be?" after Strictly. Well, I can tell you what it will be – walking on the moors, travelling, writing novels, reading. Because I have retired.'
Start of the journey: Ann in week one of Strictly, which she said was less bitchy than being in Parliament
That final word is delivered with a quivering crescendo and heavily rolled 'r'. She adds: 'Things happen, things change and you change.'
Certainly there has been a great deal of change in Ann's life of late. Three years ago, her mother Rita died at the age of 95. She had lived with Ann since the death of
her husband, Ann's father, in 1999.
'We were very close,' she says quietly. 'She was with me for eight years and she was increasingly frail. The plan had always been to move to Dartmoor.
'But when I was an MP there was no way I could leave her on Dartmoor while I was in London. Indeed that's why I sold my constituency cottage in Kent. There was no way we could split an existence. Had she lived another three years we would have moved together.'
Ann now lives alone in the 1950s home overlooking moor and sea that she bought in March 2008. It is, she says bluntly, 'absolutely ghastly and covered in linoleum', but she 'bought it for the view' and is steadily turning it into her perfect retreat.
The conservatory, the fireplaces and the library are finished. Once work is complete she will share it with the two rescue cats and two rescue dogs she intends to adopt.
But however much she insists she has retired, it is hard to imagine Ann simply stepping out of public life. She says she doesn't miss Parliament one jot. In fact when she returned not long after the Election it was, she says, 'as if I'd never been there. I felt no tug at all'.
In time: Ann and Anton in Newton Abbot, Devon, where they rehearsed earlier this week
And she points out that she had reached the stage when 'Countdown held more appeal than Prime Minister's Questions'.
But even so, she concedes, she still has a 'residual sense of the outrage' that fuelled her through her career as a politician and Minister. And even if these days she says she'd rather present Songs Of Praise than appear on Newsnight or the Today programme, the point is she still talks in terms of presenting something.
'Who knows,' she says when asked about life after Strictly. 'I'll do my memoirs at some point, I suppose. I have kept a diary. Not obsessively, but when I've witnessed interesting things I have recorded them.
'If Strictly hadn't come along I'd probably have started that. I would have thought, that's the end of the interesting bit. But apparently it's not – and it's wonderful.'

It had better be a good pub lunch, because it is meant to compensate for a lifelong commitment to having the precarious finances of a gambler, the mobility restrictions of a prison inmate, and the ruined figure of a Samoas-abuser.
I miss Britain in the spring: snowdrops, daffodils, crocuses, tentative returning smiles. I miss muddy walks, ale, grumpy publicans, and my children's vanished English accents. I don't miss handing over my kidneys to a landlord once a month, but I sure do miss the NHS.
In my new-ish land, I have access to Girl Scout cookies ad Boy Scout popcorn by the ton. So when I miss my other home, I can medicate with Samoas.
Happy Mothering Sunday to my friends across the water. Chin up. Go forth and multiply.

A bright start to the day weather wise and with a flurry of messages wishing our captain Faye a happy birthday before we all set off for Broxbourne.
Having been promised a cold icy probably postponed match, the Ladies 4s were treated to cold grey damp pitch away at Bedford.
4:30pm on saturday the ladies 3s played against Leighton Buzzard 3s at RAF Halton. The game started with all possession to Berko and some great attacks thanks to strong and accurate hits from the back.
A bitterly cold lunchtime start the ladies 2s started positively taking the game to Broxbourne. Berkhamsted held possession well and taking advantage of the pace of their wings to mount a number of attacks left Broxbourne on the back foot.
Ladies 2's we're playing against Letchworth 3's and were raring to go. We started off strong with some great runs up the wings which lead to a great goal from Emma.

I bought my daughter a ticket from Boston to NYC Penn Station in late Nov 2017, one month before she was to take the train. I spent $140 for a one-way ticket on the Acela Express.
She is 22 yrs old, and had to arrive early at her job in Manhattan on 12/27/17. When she was buying the ticket online, she was asked to fill-in the pop-up window with her beginning destination. She had a choice of South Station, Boston or Back Bay Station, Boston. She chose Back Bay because she thought it would be easier for me to drop her there.
NO WHERE ON THIS CUSTOMER POP-UP WINDOW DOES IT SAY THAT BACK BAY IS NOT A DESIGNATED AMTRAK STATION. I dropped her off 45 mins before the train was due. She waited upstairs in the passenger waiting area. It was the day after Christmas.
There were a few other passengers waiting for the same train. THERE WAS NO SIGN SAYING "Amtrak trains will not be announced." Or "Please wait below at the track site." She waiting thinking someone would announce her train and she would have a few minutes to get on the train. This is the procedure at South Station - they don't want you out next to the train until the train arrives. So, she and several other passengers missed a train that they did not know had arrived.
SO WE NOW DISCOVER AFTER THE FACT, THAT THIS IS A SUBWAY STOP, staffed only by MBTA employees who do not announce Amtrak trains. She and several other left-behind passengers got on the next regional train, which took them almost 6 hours to get to NYC. With no food. They did give her a business class seat, but this was not much of an upgrade on this particular train.
It did not look like the Amtrak pictures of business class. When I called to complain to Customer Relations, I was given the stock answer "On the website, it clearly says that Back Bay is not a fully serviced Amtrak stop." Even if she had seen this, what does this mean exactly? And where does it say this? Certainly not when the choices pop up in the buyer window.
Then the customer relation person had the nerve to say this regional train was only one hour later than the Acela Express. I told him that "no" this train in fact got in almost 2 hrs later. There was no snack or food car either. At the very least, there should be a sign at the Back Bay Station letting passengers know that they should wait at the track below, and that Amtrak trains would "not" be called.
She chatted with several other passengers who missed their trains also because they also did not know. In fact, it appeared that the Amtrak conductor was ready with a solution, that this had happened before.
That he/she placed all these passengers in business class. So what does this imply?
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $80.
Preferred solution: Price reduction.

I printed out some custom cookie stamps to celebrate Wrestlemania 34. This is actually the main reason that I picked up a 3D printer. I wanted to be able to take black and white vectors and convert them into these cookie stamps and then use them to make 1-part molds.
It was an interesting experiment the first time through with some quick lessons.
- The amount of detail in what I have translated pretty well. I think this is as detailed as I can get the stamps to be.
- Each stamp had to be floured before using, otherwise the dough would stick.
- The Luchador mask took about an hour to print. I do like the backing on it as it made it easier to hold for stamping the cookies. I'll make sure to do that in the future.

Rain disrupted the football programme once again as rain showers overnight and through Saturday waterlogged more pitches.
Louth Old Boys' trip to Cleethorpes Town A in Division One of the East Lincs Combination was rained off for the fourth postponement in their last six fixtures.
The Tom Sandys Cup tie involving Louth Old Boys Red at home to Sutton Rovers Reserves also fell victim to the weather, while AFC Louth were forced to concede their Junior Challenge Cup tie at Immingham Town reserves.
But in Division Three, Mablethorpe Sports Athletic enjoyed a positive day as they chalked up their fourth league win of the season at home to Burgh Athletic.
A Ryan Parnell double put them 2-0 up at half-time, and the forward went on to complete his hat-trick in the second half to wrap up a 3-0 win.
The three points leaves Mablethorpe in eighth place, but just a few points off the top six.
But Alford Town Second XI's miserable season continued with a 5-1 defeat at third-placed Susie Star.
Oliver Willett got Alford's consolation.
Fixtures (Saturday, 2pm) –
Division One: Louth Old Boys v Sutton Rovers.
Division Three: Sutton Rovers Res v Louth Old Boys Vets.
Tom Sandys Cup: Alford Town Second XI v Louth Old Boys Reds.
Tim Sales Charity Cup (1.45pm): Mablethorpe Athletic Sports v Grimsby Borough Dev A.
Cusworth Cup (1.45pm): AFC Louth v North Thoresby.

*Single game performance rating adjusted to 15 points above or below (depending upon win/loss) the rating of the opponent instead of using the true margin of victory. This is done in order to properly credit the win itself as being the most important thing-- short of doing that, a 1-point win would nearly be equal to a 1-point loss, and of course it is not. The actual number used for this, again currently 15, may fluctuate over time as it is derived by analyzing the margin of victory of every game played nationally and taking the 40th percentile of all those margins. (Capped at 15 to avoid early-season small sample size anomalies.)
**Single game performance rating may have been adjusted to 29 points above or below (depending upon win/loss) the rating of the opponent instead of using the true margin of victory. This is done so as to not reward teams for scheduling/running up the score against vastly inferior opponents. The actual number used for this, again currently 29, also may fluctuate over time as it is derived by analyzing the margin of victory of every game played nationally and taking the 63rd percentile of all those margins.
Please note that double-asterisked (and
out) games are considered to be less "true results" when ratings are created by the system because the margin of victory needed to be artificially decreased for the reasons mentioned above. As such, performances without the double-asterisk (truer results) are weighted much more heavily by the system in order to create the season rating for each team than are results involving mismatched teams. In other words, in cases where it appears a team is taking a hit to their rating simply because they played a very weak team...the hit indeed exists (and it's important that it does because we strongly believe in strength of schedule) but it is not as large as it appears at first glance. The rating for a team generally just ends up being roughly the average of those non-grayed out games.

MWSA Review
The handsome red, white and blue cover of Farrell J. Chiles' "African American Warrant Officers: Their Remarkable History," promises stories of achievements and contributions of the too-long-unacknowledged men and women who have served as warrant officers of the United State Army—those men and women, that is, who administer, manage, maintain, operate and integrate "Army systems and equipment across the full spectrum of Army operations." A companion volume to Chiles's earlier collection, "African American Warrant Officers: In Service to Our Country," this volume honors the centennial of the Army Warrant Officer Corps by presenting individual vignettes of one hundred African American warrant officers. Chiles has compiled these profiles from a variety of sources, some submitted by individual authors, many written and published by Chiles himself in official newsletters such as the "Rocket" and the USAWOA (United States Army Warrant Officers Association) "Newsliner."
Chiles opens the book with a short chapter defining Warrant Officer ("an adaptive technical expert, combat leader, trainer, and advisor") and explaining the different grade, ranks and education system for warrant officers. This is followed by a brief overview of the one hundred year history of the Warrant Officers Cohort, established by Act of Congress on 9 July 1918. The main chapters of individual profiles are then grouped by information source such as newsletters, obituaries and Chiles' earlier collection, "African American Warrant Officers: In Service to Our Country." Each vignette includes the accomplishments and awards of individual warrant officers along with one to three photographs, and many include personal anecdotes and quotations that provide fascinating glimpses into the warrant officers' lives.
"African American Warrant Officers: Their Remarkable History" is a handy research guide that offers a series of individual histories rather than the broader history of African American contributions to the Warrant Officer Cohort that the title seems to promise. For his dogged research, writing and publication over the years, we owe a debt of gratitude to Farrell J. Chiles. His work provides the inspiring first steps needed in illuminating the remarkable history of African American serving their country as warrant officers in the U. S. Army.
MWSA Review by Nancy Arbuthnot (August 2018)

Their history is rich and their achievements and contributions to the United States and the United States Army are remarkable. This book allows African American Army Warrant Officers to tell their stories.

This spring's rains and threats of thunderstorms have restricted my kayak fishing and renewed my interest in shoreline fishing for bass and panfish. However, even these options are more reduced now.
Where and When
Triadelphia reservoir is closed due to the dam repair. At Liberty Reservoir, working my favorite shoreline is severely limited due to high water. Piney Run Lake, Cunningham Falls Lake, Centennial Lake and some private waters are still options.
Most of the waters listed have dawn to dusk accessibility. I have had far better success shore fishing in low light situations, especially at dusk. So I recommend the first couple of hours of daylight or water's opening and the last couple of hours before closing. Just make sure you know and abide by an area's closing time to avoid getting locked in. Some parts of Liberty and Cunningham Falls can be accessed without going through entrance gates.
Tackle Bass
I usually take two spinning rods, a medium rod with 10 to 15-pound braid and a light rod with 8-pound braid or monofilament. In most situations, the best approach is fan casting with long casts, and I like to use surface lures for bass. (See casting note below.) My favorite by far is the Super Zara Spook, Jr., which can be cast far and has a unique ability to draw bass from the bottom to attack it.
Retrieved at medium speed with a steady "walk-the-dog-retrieve," the Spook Jr. or the larger original Zara Spook cover a lot of water and have produced some of my biggest shore bass including a 21+-inch smallmouth and a 5 ½-pound largemouth both from Liberty.
Close behind is the ¼-ounce Tiny Torpedo or the 3/8-ounce Baby Torpedo; the latter can be cast further. I use these when casting to places where I have seen bass swirl and when waters are mirror calm and fish them with a couple of short twitches, then a pause, then repeat. In waters with lily pads, like Piney Run and Centennial, I try dropping a hollow Pad Crasher Jr. frog into holes in pads and gently twitch it in place then slowly drag it to the next hole and continue this retrieve back to shore. This is my favorite frog, and even the Jr. size can be cast a good distance yet lands fairly lightly on the water.
Some guides swear by the ¼-oune Pop-R fished very slowly and quietly, similar to the Tiny Torpedo, with a slight gurgle rather than a popping sound. A black Jitterbug is another evening favorite. I prefer the 3/8-ounce size. However, I recently came across some Musky Jitterbugs in a popular tackle shop. When I asked the proprietor where they were used, all he would tell me was, "Reservoirs." Makes one think.
Dropping below the surface, a good choice is a spinnerbait, since it can be cast a long distance, is fairly snagless and takes big fish, including giant crappies occasionally. Yet I have had better success with shallow-running crankbait/jerkbait types such as original floating Rapalas and X-Raps. Texas-rigged 3 to 4-inch flukes are a good choice in snaggy areas.
I like black or natural colors for all these lures.
Here I use the light rod. I have had some banner evenings catching crappie on small Rapalas and 3 to 4-inch flukes. But usually I fish a size 10 beadhead black wooly bugger or a Trout Magic jig with a chartreuse tail below a clear float with a small shot above the fly or jig. These should be retrieved in gentle twitches with pauses to take crappies, bluegills, stocked trout, and a surprising number of bass.
Casting Adventures
Shore fishing can be hazardous to tackle, from wacking rods off trees and rocks to throwing expensive lures up inaccessible trees. Where vegetation permits, long casts are often best for reaching distant working fish and for covering water. But making a perfect 80-foot cast to drop a lure within inches of a shoreline to work it back over a breakline can be ruined when the line drifts down into overhanging trees. Your odds are getting the lure back are minimal. Likewise planting a lure into a stump probably means a loss.
So think before you cast. Sometimes the best strategy is a series of short casts and walking the bank –- where possible. Be aware that good fish can be right up against shore. Stomping up to a likely area can spook them; tread lightly. One trick for casting in tight areas is to break down the rod, make a short cast with just the top portion, then quickly reassemble the rod. Another is using the bow-and-arrow cast. Both tricks are best done with flukes or single hook lures; trebles can be dangerous.
Gear and Safety
Plan on protection from, brush, thorns, mud, mosquitoes, ticks and other hazards with long pants, possibly boots or hip boots, a long-sleeved shirt, hat, glasses and insect repellent. Inspect for ticks when you return home.
Carry a backpack or tackle satchel that includes a fishing license, reliable flashlight or headlamp and cell phone. Include a plastic bag that will fit inside if you wish to keep fish, and a knife for quickly dispatching any fish to be kept. I recommend a wading staff or walking stick to helnavigate uneven areas in the dark and check for soft muddy banks. Pepper spray may be a good idea in some places. Finally I carry a large trash bag to help clean up shoreline trash left by slobs.

The greatest upside I see right now from any asset class is the buying and selling of profitable websites – you can think of them as digital real estate that yield cashflow.
In this post I set out how you can snowball your way from $100k to $1MM within 3 years by flipping websites.
This is in response to two excellent recent podcasts I mention below as well as people asking me in my Flipping Websites facebook group for a playbook:
I want to preface this post by saying that I don't personally acquire revenue generating sites to flip like this; rather I adopt a micro acquisition approach where I buy low cost (sub $5k) aged sites with traffic and rankings and build out on those to flip.
Investing in Websites – the 40% Rule
The Tropical MBA podcast a few weeks ago on the "40% Rule" by Jase Rodley discussed how you can generate 10x higher returns through website investing than you can from having your capital in index funds where you draw down 4% a year.
If you buy a website at a monthly profit multiple of 30x then it will return your investment in 2.5 years which is the same as yielding 40% a year.
Therefore if you have the skillset to operate and maintain a website (just maintain, rather than grow) then you can effectively retire with 1/10th the amount of capital.
$1MM will generate $40k a year from index funds or $400k a year from investing in websites.
So how do we get to this $1MM capital goal starting with just $100k?
We snowball our way there by buying and selling (flipping) websites.
The Snowball
Sam & Johnny on a recent episode of Invest Like a Boss discussed at the end The Snowball biography of Warren Buffet of compounding money over time and that at an 8% interest rate it takes a long time to build wealth. Sam states:
I feel like for the average person you can get that [snowball] effect in property like no other asset class because you are going to get the yield and capital appreciation as that property increases over time.
Indeed at 8% it will take 30 years to turn $100k into $1MM.
In the website flipping approach I outline below, you can compound the combined cashflow and asset price to go from $100,000 to $1,000,000 in 3 years which works out at 120%:
But on top of this, people are depreciating websites over 3 years (or one year if more aggressive) and are using the tax money saved from website income to purchase more websites at the same time, shortening the timeframe further. Here is a great video by Ace Chapman explaining the tax benefits from buying websites.
The Website Flipping Model
This strategy assumes you already have $100k for website investing or have built a website from scratch to a value of $100k. It assume you possess a skill set that you can deploy that will on average over the long run double a site's income and asset value, in the way that a profitable poker player has a positive expected value win rate when you take out short term variance.
You can double a website's value in many ways:
- Doubling conversion rate on an underoptimized site if you are a CRO master
- Doubling opt-in rates if you are a sales funnel expert
- Doubling average order value of an ecommerce site by adding upsell funnels
- Improving domain authority if you are a link building expert
- Optimising ad monetization or swapping from one ad network to another
- Content pruning: reducing keyword cannibalization or improving crawlability by reducing index bloat
For simplicity I am going to be assuming sites list at a 30x monthly multiple (to achieve the 40% rule) which is fair as a survey from Empire Flippers found that the average sales multiple for a six-figure content site comes out to 28.89x.
To make the maths easier I am assuming it costs nothing to buy a website and costs 15% to sell one (brokerage fees and all fees). I'm also assuming that it only takes one month to sell (the average time it takes content sites to sell on Empire Flippers is just 27.52 days) and two months to buy, after doing website due diligence.
Finally I'm assuming that after you buy invest in websites, you also invest three months of your own time leveraging your skill set (rather than reinvesting more of the site's income) and then list after six months of upside. Add in the 1 month to sell and 2 months to buy and it takes an exact year to flip.
So let's begin, we have $100k to go shop.
Website Purchase 1 – $100k
That $100,000 divided by 30x buys you a site cashflowing (putting money in your pocket) to the tune of $3333 per month.
You pull your lever and within 3 months income has doubled from $3,333 to $6,666 and you list the asset after 6 months at this new level (to prove to buyers this isn't a fortunate spike).
The website asset value is now $200,000 and it sells after one month and you bank $170,000 (minus sales fees). However you also banked 3 months at the existing $3333 level and 6 months at the improved $6666 level (again for simplicity) for an additional $50k totaling $220k.
You started with $100k and now you have $220k to buy a new site making $7333/m.
Website Purchase 2 – $220k
You buy a site making $7333/m and, after 3 months, double monthly income to $14,666/m and then 6 months later list the site for $440k.
You sell and bank $374k plus $110k in earnings for $484k.
Website Purchase 3 – $484k
That buys a new site that's spitting out $16,133/m and you pull your lever one more time and get income to $32,266/m for a sale price of $968k.
You sell and bank $822,800. Add in the 9 months income totaling $242k and congrats – in 36 months you have now taken that $100k to over $1MM.
Yes this is overly simplistic and it assumes that you are able to double a site every time and that nothing devastating happens like a google medic update on a health site.
However to counter this, multiples are going up over time and larger sites actually achieve a higher multiple. Yes this hurts your 40% return, perhaps you will only be able to achieve 30% yields on purchase however this does mean that your $32,266/m asset is now, at a 40x multiple, worth $1.3MM netting you over a million after commission.
Anyone can learn to build a six figure content site to get to $100k and if you've got the stomach to go all in, you are in theory just 3 flips away from achieving 7 figures.
But then you may realize that a $1MM sale price will not be enough for you to retire and rather than flip you may simply cashflow the web property instead to the tune of $30k/m.

For my Grandma❤
I had hopes of writing a blog post today about how I'm working to find balance this year in business & life. But this morning I got some sad news, and that put me in a reflective writing mood. It's on my heart to write about someone who greatly influenced my life, views and character—whether she realized it or not. My hope is to honor her.
This beautiful, smart, incredible woman passed away this morning, at the age of 95. Let me tell you a little bit about my Grandma Harriet.
She was never short of stories. As a young child, I'm positive I didn't fully appreciate her love of storytelling. Whether it be from her childhood days, or from the years she served in WWII as a nurse, or her college years—when she attended the same years as my Mom at BSU, both getting education degrees—she loved to recall & tell a good story. As I got older, I grew to appreciate and cherish her stories.
She wasn't your typical grandma. You certainly couldn't put a classic stereotype on her—while she loved working in her sewing room on projects, loved gardening, and baking cookies with her grandkids, but her hobbies (especially upon retirement) were vast.
She loved to travel with my Grandpa. They went all over Europe, and anywhere that interested them. Including to Norway, several times, to visit her childhood Pen Pal.
She was also an avid golfer in her retirement, and she loved spending doing time with her golfing ladies group.
She also did a lot of volunteering in her community—she was quite the social butterfly and loved every bit of it.
She was ever bit of practical—we say it was because she went through the Depression but I think it was just who she was! She would save anything that could be recycled and used again. No need to waste something. Her Christmas gifts were ever-so-practical and we coined the term "Harriet gifts" thanks to her clever gift-giving.
She was the first outspoken woman I ever knew, thankfully from an early age. She was opinionated, and she impressed upon me at a very early she that girls can do anything they want to. She also spoke to us about equality and diversity. I remember having a conversation around the age of 8 or 9 with her, at her kitchen table in Oaklandon. Something had been on the news regarding segregation in the 60s. She explained to me not only what had happened, but how others spoke out against inequality and injustice. As an 8 year old, and I remember this! She made such an impact on me. In so many ways...
I loved her sass and spunkiness. I love that she was witty and sarcastic. And I love that even though she had a tough, strong woman exterior, her heart was precious, compassionate and so big for others. I loved how when you'd hug her goodbye, she'd almost always tear up but didn't want you to see.
I will miss her, her stories, her wit and her laugh. Because she's had dementia these past several years, a part of her has seemingly been missing. And as much as it hurts to see her leave this Earth, I know she's rejoicing above, hand in hand with her sweetheart again.
I sure hope they have golf courses in heaven❤ Rest In Peace, Grandma❤

The pressure to perform well & fears of failure can trigger extreme anxiety and stress, which can manifest itself in various ways and may lead to insomnia and lack of sleep, appetite loss, extreme worry and even depression. Complementary Therapies can help keep students/pupils chill out and keep calm...
If Complementary Therapies could help you feel better-relieve aches & pains, handle life in a more positive way, improve your mood and help you have a more restful sleep-isn't it worth thinking about making an appointment?
Its time to invest in YOU!
Do you want happy feet this Easter? Tranquillity Therapies is open on Saturday 31st March for treatments...appointments available!
It can be hard to find time to relax, or, "Just Be". We lead increasingly busy lives, with pressure to be here, there, and wearing a plethora of hats to fulfill any given role. When did you last have some Me time? Yesterday? Last week? Last month? Can't remember? By not having the chance to unwind, means that many of us are going about our daily life and routine being stressed and tense. (Sound familiar?) By pushing ourselves to the limit, we are in danger of putting ourselves at risk, and vulnerable to high blood pressure, heart problems and mental health issues.
Complementary Therapies can really help to get you to a place of relaxation. By promoting calm, releasing stress, and improving mental clarity thus improving your sense of well-being and feeling uplifted. They can also help ease insomnia, anxiety, stress, and agitation.

Take Another Look At Knowledge
It is dangerous to think that what you know is all you need to know. Anyone who drives a car will understand there are blind spots right beside you. Changing lanes into somebody you were convinced was not there proves you need to know more than you thought you knew!
Proverbs 12:15 NLT
"Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others."
When the bible mentions the counsel of others it is referring to other people who obey God and walk with Him. Anybody can find somebody who will agree with the way you currently think about things.
Wisdom will look at the way most normal people look at things as a quick counter balance to check we don't have a blind spot. It is foolish to only trust what you only know about things.
Ultimately though, wisdom is to know what God thinks about things. This will keep you on track in case the only people in your circle don't yet trust God for their knowledge and direction.
May God's word (the bible) become our highest reference point as we seek truth in a world of confusion.

Jennifer Hudson made her dream come true, and now she's giving back to those who are hoping to do the same. The singer/actress is taking part in American Family Insurance's "Insure Carefully, Dream Fearlessly" campaign, and Billboard is premiering a new video for it today (April 24).In the commercial, Hudson surprises aspiring musician Alex Guthrie while he performs a cover of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" on the streets of Atlanta. He knew he was performing in a live event for American Family Insurance, but had no idea Hudson was waiting to surprise him -- which is exactly the kind of involvement the superstar wants to have with the campaign. "I felt like I was part of his dream, and I love those moments. I tried not to get emotional in the middle of it, because you're a part of someone's dream," Hudson said in an interview with American Family Insurance. "I actually sat and talked to Alex, and he was saying how he would love to bring the world together through music -- different lifestyles, all walks of life, and in that moment, that's what was happening."The "Insure Carefully, Dream Fearlessly" campaign has been running since 2015, with American Family Insurance demonstrating that any dream is possible with the right support.

Toronto police chief Bill Blair is taking heat after one of his officers admitted to detaining 'hundreds' of people on routine searches and stripping them completely naked, the Toronto Star reports.
The startling admission emerged at the trial for alleged drug trafficker Lerondo Smith last month, the Star reports.
And now, the city's police services board is demanding a report from Blair into how Const. Sasa Sljivo's actions went unchecked for so long.
Some of the blame for the officer's apparent zeal for denuding civilians has been levied at the feet of leadership.
In his blog, Politics and its Discontents Lorne Warwick notes a 2001 Supreme Court ruling that found strip-searching a person completely naked to be a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The writer points out that Sljivo told court that he was unaware of the ruling -- and, indeed, he was trained to strip-search people naked.
"If the rules have been clearly set out by the Toronto police, how is it that Const. Sljivo has carried out hundreds of improper searches, apparently endorsed by his training officer?" Warwick asks.
"What kind of environment has the 'leadership' of Chief Blair fostered that this could happen not once, not twice, but hundreds of times?"
According to Toronto Police Services, Sljivo is a beat cop, patrolling the Long Branch area in the city's southeast.

Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival 2017
conductor: Baldur Brönnimann | Sheng : Wu Wei International Contemporary Ensemble
Liza Lim: How Forests Think
Composer's Notes: How Forests think reflects on the work of anthropologist Eduardo Kohn who writes about forest ecologies as the 'living thought' of human and non-human selves. Each of these selves may have its own subjectivity, creating the world with its own registers of knowledge, sensation and meaning. These selves organize into communities: in ancient forests, a stump may be kept alive for centuries by the surrounding trees through underground fungal networks that nourish the old connections and keep a song going. One might think of a forest as a choir or certainly as an ensemble. Stories, dreams and thoughts inhabit multiple forms in a living matrix; they ask us to look beyond our limited human gaze and limited human time-span. How Forests think is music made from assemblages of instruments whose qualities are like tendrils looking for places on which to clasp and entangle themselves. Its forms are emergent, like plants growing toward light and water; like mycelial strands entwining with tree roots in a co-evolving internet of plant-life. The music emerges out of criss-crossing conversations patterned like roots, vines, fungal networks; or like airborne, insect and animal-borne cross-pollinations (the breath, the buzz, the scratch, the love songs), where one thing looks for best fit with another. The Chinese sheng is an instrument with a 4,000-year old lineage, and Wu Wei has been instrumental in developing the 37-pipe sheng for contemporary music. The cluster of bamboo tubes is activated by the musician's breath vibrating internal reeds, making flutters traditionally associated with the mythical phoenix that rises from the ashes of its own funeral pyre. There is something intensely organic in how the interactions between breath and reed and bamboo pipe create a flowering of sound that may not be completely predictable - one hears a trace of the wind in the forest. Neither the wind nor any weather, nor growing things can be completely controlled, contained or resisted - there is a tempest of forces that dwells in the forest. That tempest is also a song in us. —Liza Lim

text: NEWS Aaron Carter Announces (Again) He's Not Supporting Donald Trump 10/10/2016 by Lars Brandle FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy Aaron Carter Aaron Carter wants to make something clear: he's not supporting Donald Trump. The pop singer pulled his endorsement for the Republican presidential candidate earlier this year, but felt compelled to reiterate his stance in the hours after Trump locked horns with Hillary Clinton in the record-busting second debate. "No. I'm not supporting Donald Trump anymore," he tweeted. No. I'm not supporting Donald trump anymore.— aaroncarter (@aaroncarter) October 11, 2016Carter's tweet comes after Trump's campaign was damaged by a leaked tape in which he was heard making lewd comments. Carter, however, can't be accused of jumping on the anti-Trump train. The artist officially turned his back on Trump in April, just two months after declaring his support. "I have decided I will not be voting for Donald Trump. I've seen a lot and to ME. it's just something I can't take part in. Too many reasons," Carter wrote at the time. A chorus of prominent Republicans have turned their back on Trump after the GOP presidential nominee's vulgar comments with former Access Hollywood anchor Billy Bush surfaced last week. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Saturday that, for the first time since becoming a U.S. citizen in 1983, he won't vote Republican. And John McCain has formally withdrawn his support for Trump's candidacy.Bruce Springsteen went a step further when he made a bold prediction about Trump's chances in the upcoming election. "He will not win," Springsteen told New Yorker editor David Remnick at New York City's Town Hall. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

Alonso Student News
Express yourself
Teens vs Resolutions
Miranda Daubar
February 14, 2018
A new year brings new resolutions that we promised ourselves we would do the year prior. But nevertheless, this year of 2018, we're determined to achieve our goals. Adults, teens, and even some kids make resolutions, but who struggles the most to keep them?
Studies show that 13.4% of students are not successful at following through with their New Year's resolutions. There are many reasons why they struggle. One reason being teens have homework, after school activities, work, sports, clubs etc.
Students at Alonso High School go through the same struggles as any other teens. Bella Bozied, a sophomore at Alonso, says "It's so hard to stick to resolutions because by the end of the year, you're looking back and most people can only remember the bad things that happened, so they make these extreme goals. We're so happy… for the potential new year that we make hold for ourselves that aren't reachable." Bella mentions that we make goals that can be unrealistic. "Some easy ways to keep your resolution is, most importantly, make an achievable resolution. It's okay to admit that you can't do something all at once, so you have to make smaller goals to achieve your overall goal."
Niat Ghebrieal, who is also a sophomore attending Alonso High School, expresses how she feels about resolutions "Resolutions for almost anyone are taken seriously for about the first two weeks of the new year, but I guess I like the idea. As long as they're kept throughout the year, then they are helpful." With so much to do throughout the year, many just give up on their resolutions, but Niat goes into saying you can keep your goals by "staying positive" and how "working even a little at it each day can go a long way."
These two students know the struggle of trying to keep a resolution while juggling school work at the same time. Bella Bozied is a dedicated player in flag football and member of beta club. Niat Ghebrieal is also a member of the Beta club and a member of FFA. These are just a few extracurricular activities that both girls are a part of, which collide with their goals for the year. Keeping New Year's Resolutions is hard, but can be kept with patience and taking small steps toward the big goal.

REEEP to Help Mexico Assess Wind Resources
Following the Mexican government's announcement that it would be joining the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), Mexico is to seek REEEP's help in assessing the potential of the country's wind resources.
Mexico announced that it would be joining the REEEP at last week's G8 Energy and Environment Ministers Roundtable held in London. The REEEP is a global partnership of governments, businesses, and NGOs that was launched at the World Summit for Sustainable Development in 2002.
Mexico is looking to accelerate the regulatory and legal changes necessary to encourage the incorporation of renewable energies into its national energy policy, and to expand energy efficiency. Mexico has asked the REEEP to utilize the experience of its partners to assist with the development of methodologies to determine the contribution of intermittent renewable energies, such as wind power, to the Mexican national grid system. The REEEP is currently assisting Mexico ascertain the potential of CDM credits for biogas projects in the agricultural sector.
"Mexico is looking to foster capacity building and to disseminate the benefits of clean energy technologies through its cooperation with other REEEP members," said Fernando Elizondo Barrag�n, Mexican Secretary for Energy. "Determining the potential contribution of wind power, will enable us to take advantage of the world first class wind resources with which Mexico is endowed. It will also help Mexico to improve energy security and to promote sustainable development."
Commenting on Mexico's request for assistance to accelerate the regulatory and legal changes necessary to promote wind, Dr. Marianne Osterkorn, international director of the REEEP, said: "REEEP has been working hard to encourage regulatory and legislative change internationally to enable renewable energy resources to be incorporated into the energy mix. Mexico's proactive stance in seeking our support in assessing the impact of wind is to be welcomed and encouraged."
