Chipotle Is a Top 10 Stock
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It is important to focus on great businesses when developing a list of top companies for an investment portfolio. Aside from the common traits of great management and a solid financial position, great businesses have an easy to understand investment thesis that the investor both understands thoroughly and has confidence will play out over the long term. These traits are all solidly present in the fourth stock on my personal "top 10" list, Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG).
Invest in what you know ... in this case, a great tasting burrito
The investment thesis for Chipotle is simple to understand and is in many ways similar to the thesis behind the No. 1 stock on the top 10 list, Apple. Consider this: Chipotle focuses on "food with integrity," which seeks to find the best ingredients to create a differentiated product that is so well received that it commands premium pricing compared to the competition. Sound familiar? In addition to premium pricing, demand has allowed Chipotle to maintain higher margins by avoiding the need to discount its products.
Additionally, Chipotle started life as a domestic, one concept company (i.e. burritos). While it has been tremendously successful in growing this concept domestically, the real growth opportunity going forward lies in international growth and the successful testing and roll out of new concepts such as Shophouse. While this might be where the similarities between Chipotle and Apple end, this model serves as the foundation for the investment thesis for both companies.
As is the case with Apple, the growth story at Chipotle is nowhere near complete. Analysts expect Chipotle to reach domestic market saturation somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 locations. At just 1,350 stores today, this leaves tremendous room for continued expansion domestically.
Additionally, Chipotle has significant opportunity to further increase the number of locations its operates through international expansion; to date, the company has opened just 10 restaurants internationally in London, Toronto, and Paris. New store openings in Germany and Vancouver, Canada are already on the horizon with more to follow.
A third channel for growth is the expansion into creative new restaurant concepts. While the magnitude of this opportunity is far less certain at this time, Chipotle is perfecting its Shophouse Southeast Asian Kitchen concept in Washington D.C. with plans to roll out a second location in the city as well as a third location in Los Angeles.
Growth also comes from the growing base of existing locations, where increases in same store sales, or SSS, will continue to fuel growth. While Chipotle's third quarter results concerned investors with a drop in SSS, the 5% increase reported by Chipotle is higher than many of its peers and is not necessarily a long-term trend. Plus, there are additional growth opportunities that Chipotle hasn't even attempted to unveil thus far, including a breakfast menu that would allow Chipotle restaurants to remain open for longer hours -- similar to fast casual peer Panera Bread (NASDAQ: PNRA).
An attempt to apply a simplified valuation model to all of these growth drivers can be found in a July post on this topic. Updates to the assumptions in this valuation due to Chipotle's recent results and the decline in share price indicate a range of various outcomes that will generate improved returns for investors at today's prices. In short, Chipotle's price to earnings ratio can compress to 15 or 20 and the stock can still yield a CAGR of between 5% and 14% over the next 10 years. Translated into plain English, a reasonable set of assumptions can justify a share price target of $1,022 in 2022 assuming Chipotle's continues its current trajectory.
Competition is everywhere
The key risks to the investment thesis for Chipotle are the macroeconomic environment (which affects all companies) and direct competition. Much attention has been given to David Einhorn's bet against Chipotle, which emphasizes the competitive threat of Yum Brands' (NYSE: YUM) recently unveiled Cantina Bell menu at Taco Bell. While the market seems to give this short thesis significant attention, the fact remains that most people who currently frequent Chipotle are not likely to switch allegiances to Taco Bell; the ingredients are not as fresh, the taste is not as good, there is no attempt to attach a message of environmental responsibility, and Chipotle customers have never had an issue paying a premium price for a better meal. However, consumers without a convenient Chipotle or sensitivity to price are likely to be drawn toward Taco Bell's improved menu.
Competition is wide spread, ranging from fellow burrito makers such as Jack in the Box's (NASDAQ: JACK) Qdoba restaurants, comparably-priced fast casual restaurants such as Panera, and in certain cases fast food chains such as McDonalds (NYSE: MCD) and Taco Bell. The fact is that there is no shortage of choices for fast food, fast casual and casual dining experiences. Thus far, Chipotle has excelled competing in this environment. To provide context on the competitive environment, QSR's list of the top 50 quick service restaurant chains by domestic revenue yields interesting information. Here are a few anecdotal highlights:
- McDonalds, the No. 1 chain on the list, generates more revenue from the sale of happy meals than Panera (No. 13 on the list) generates in total.
- Taco Bell, the No. 6 on the list, is roughly five times the size of Chipotle by restaurant count.
- Chipotle, No. 18 on the list, generates roughly 50% more revenue per location than Taco Bell. Interestingly, Chipotle is also the only restaurant in the top 40 with no franchised locations; this is not only an impressive achievement for a company with no debt, but also a key competitive advantage in ensuring a consistent food quality and customer experience across the company.
In addition to the opportunity to continue to grow Chipotle's restaurant count towards 3,000 domestic locations, this list also indirectly highlights the reason why Chipotle is somewhat insulated from the threat of fast food offerings from McDonalds and Taco Bell.
With domestic restaurants totaling roughly 14,000 and 6,000, respectively, McDonalds and Taco Bell have rolled out locations everywhere from high-end neighborhoods to run-down gas stations along the highway. In contrast, Chipotle is deliberately identifying areas with appealing demographics, taking a methodical approach to selecting ideal locations, and leveraging its expertise in rolling out successful company-owned locations.
A successful concept, deliberate location selection, the financial commitment to success of company-owned locations, and the consistent quality that can be assured by eliminating the middleman franchisee is a recipe for continued success.
So why is Chipotle a buy today?
The investment thesis described at length above hasn't really changed for years. Each quarter, management makes steady progress in growing its restaurant count, generating strong SSS, and maintaining high margins despite economic pressures from both consumer spending and rising food costs. However, Chipotle's year-to-date share performance of -19% has caused investors to panic rather than take note of the fact that the recent decline in share price has created an attractive value point for purchasing shares. While a TTM P/E of 32 and a forward P/E of 26 (based on the December 10, 2012 closing share price of $272.92) may not be cheap, it is certainly much more attractive than the TTM P/E of over 50 that became the norm earlier this year. Plus, this valuation is very reasonable for a growth company with no debt, TTM revenue growth per share of 28%, and TTM earnings growth per share of 34%.
For an investor who buys into the growth opportunities that remain on the horizon for Chipotle, the market has provided an opportunity to acquire shares at a much better valuation than has been available at any time since the great recession.

Swiss Re announces ReSource Award 2004 for sustainable water management strategies
ReSource Award 2004
Swiss Re, one of the world's leading reinsurers, presented the second "ReSource Award" at its Centre of Global Dialogue in Zurich, Switzerland, in April 2004. This annual competition for innovative watershed management projects carries total prize money of USD 100,000. The ReSource Award for 2004 was officially launched at the ceremony.
Swiss Re feels that it has a duty to contribute to the development and implementation of sustainable water management strategies and practices. To complement other water-related initiatives, the company launched the International ReSource Award for Sustainable Watershed Management in 2002. The award actively supports the planning, evaluation and implementation of water-related projects with the aim of promoting awareness and encouraging the efficient use of this precious resource. The main prize in the 2003 award was given to a land-reform project in Vietnam; the 2002 award went to a project proposing a financing mechanism to preserve fragile water resources in Guatemala. The ReSource Award is conferred on projects selected by a panel of independent international experts in water management and sustainability.
We are now looking to attract interested parties involved in watershed management to participate in the 2004 award, and would like to ask for your support. By placing the attached "banner" on your own "water" website or on your "Links" page and linking it to www.swissre.com/resource, you will be giving interested participants direct access to the "ReSource Award" homepage.
Alternatively, you may prefer just to use the ReSource Award 2004 icon and link it to www.swissre.com/resource. This site provides all the information needed by participants including deadlines, names of the members of the international panel of patrons (who recognise the valuable contribution made by the award) and the international jury, deliverables, the application form and the address to which applications must be submitted.
We would like to thank you for supporting the contribution being made to sustainable watershed management and would appreciate a short e-mail to email@example.com from your webmaster with your URL once you have installed the link.
Should you need ReSource Award 2004 flyers (see pdf on the award website) for events or other activities, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yours sincerely,
Claude R. Etique
Chairman of the ReSource Award Jury
Thomas Streiff
Jury Coordinator
PS: Please feel free to forward this announcement (in its entirety) to other interested organisations.

Vineyards growing in Illinois
Dr. Enders has 14 acres of French hybrid grapes, and plans to plant an additional five acres with new varietals this spring.
``I put the first 4,000 cuttings of root stock, roughly five and a half acres worth, in for my own consumption,'' the Moline chiropractor said. ``I've always made wine, and I used to drive to Michigan to get my grapes. I decided it was getting ridiculous, so I found this property out in rural Port Byron that had rolling hills and the perfect soil.''
Most of the stock Dr. Enders planted was Marechal Foch, a small, deep purple-blue grape native to the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, a semi-mountainous area with a climate similar to that of northern Illinois. Foch, one of the most popular grapes grown by North American winemakers, is a vigorous, highly productive hybrid.
Over the years, Dr. Enders hand-propagated the rest of the grapevines covering his acreage, creating a landscape that more resembles the rustic hillsides of Tuscany than northwestern Illinois. He now grows several varietals, including a white Seyval Blanc and a red Leon Millot.
``Most recently, I have this new variety of grape that has no name, only a number, 2-22-2, that was given to me by the University of Minnesota,'' he said. ``It reminds me of a Gewurtztraminer -- it has a spiciness to it. So far, I've only made little batches of it, but I'm looking forward to making more.''
The growth and experimentation is nonstop. In one corner of his vegetable garden, Dr. Enders is growing enough new cuttings to cover an additional acre he will plant in the spring. It takes five years of nursing the young vines along to maturity before a crop of any substance can be harvested.
Unlike the seasons for other Illinois agricultural crops, a grape grower's year is 12 months long. The major pruning of the vines is done in February, and fertilizing is done in early spring. The grower is busy during the spring and summer months, ``green pruning,'' or trimming the vines during the growing season, and ``leaf bending,'' or trimming leaves to give exposure to the delicate fruit.
The end result is a cultivated vineyard as beautiful as a still life.
The grapes are harvested by hand the first three weekends in September. Dr. Enders' volunteer grape pickers, each wielding a small pair of cutting shears, come from a large circle of friends, Palmer College students and colleagues.
At one time, Dr. Enders had his own winery and bottled his wines under the Terra Wines label, which was available at retail wine outlets in the area. ``The actual winery was in Geneseo, next to the old train station, and they were trying to promote the train with a winery next to it. It didn't work out because the project was undercapitalized,'' he said.
Dr. Enders now sells the bulk of his grapes to the Galena Cellars Winery, owned and operated by Scott and Chris Lawlor. The brother-sister team produces 30,000 gallons (150,000 bottles) of wine a year, making Galena Cellars one of the two largest producers of wine in Illinois.
``Will's grapes make excellent wine,'' Chris Lawlor, state oenologist for Illinois, said. Ms. Lawlor was a student in oenology (the study of wine) and viticulture (the study of grape growing) at the University of California, Fresno, one of the top programs in the country.
``His Foch is really an exceptional wine. It tastes somewhat like a California pinot noir, but it's more earthy tasting. Our soils are so much richer here -- you can taste the Midwest in the wine.''
What Dr. Enders doesn't sell he turns into wine for his own consumption. He and his wife, Linda, make 80 to 100 gallons a year in a wine cellar they built in the basement of their house.
Despite all the technology developed in the wine industry, there is nothing more basic than making wine, said Ms. Lawlor, who helped Dr. Enders harvest his grapes last fall, before trucking 6,700 pounds back to Galena.
``You mash grapes, then the grape juice mixes with the yeast on the grape skins and that causes the sugar in the juice to ferment, transforming it into alcohol,'' she explained. ``Allowed to settle and clarify during the winter, the wine is drained in the spring from the sediment and left to age. It is that simple.''
Before accompanying Ms. Lawlor to Galena with a second truckload, Dr. Enders put 200 pounds of grapes through the initial stages of wine making. The freshly harvested grapes first are put through the hopper of a grape crusher, a hand-cranked device with a cylindrical barrel that spins the grapes while crushing them, sending the pulp into a fermentor, in this case a clean 30-gallon plastic container.
``Some stems mixed in with the grapes is perfect for complexity -- too many stems will make the wine bitter because the stems contain tannin,'' Ms. Lawlor said. ``Large wineries now have crushing machines that are electronic and so technologically accurate they completely remove all the stems. They found the lack of stems produced a less flavorful wine, so they have to take some of them back and mix them in the `must,' which is what the crushed grape pulp is called.''
The natural sugar content of the must is then checked with a refractometer. ``Every 2 percent of sugar equals 1 percent alcohol, which is why grapes are the perfect content for wine,'' Ms. Lawlor said.
Once all the must is in its primary fermentor, a liquified yeast is added, which is necessary in American wine production. ``We've only been making wine in this country for 60 or so years, and our wild yeast is incomplete,'' Ms. Lawlor said. ``So we have to add yeast.
``In Europe, on the other hand, for thousands of years, grape growers have returned the fermented must to the vines to nourish them for the following crop,'' she said. ``The wild yeast that is produced by European grapes is enough for the grapes to ferment completely.''
Dr. Enders uses a new yeast called BM-45. ``French hybrids are very herbaceous tasting, and this yeast removes that taste.''
The must remains in the primary fermentor until the yeast becomes less active, a period of five to seven days during which the Enders will ``punch down the must,'' a twice-a-day procedure that resubmerges the raised pulp into the liquid.
The must is then sent through a wine presss and into a secondary fermentor -- the Enders use two 52-gallon oak barrels -- for three months. Then the wine can Be consumed as a young wine or bottled and left to age.
As the fourth largest wine consumption state in the nation, Illinois has a ready-made market that is encouraging for the small number of grape-growers that dot the state. Interest in grape-growing is high and the Lawlors are encouraged by many new vineyards that are being planned.
``These are going to be the funnest years yet of our wine making,'' Scott Lawlor said. ``We're all making good wines here in Illinois and we're really going to spread our wings.''

*flails arms excitedly* SHE'S WRITING A NEW BOOK
So this happened:
Kate Moss reading How to be a Woman. (from Hemmo's Pinterest.)
Congratulations, you're a Feminist!
Caitlin Talks about her book being published in the US, and how she and Caz will wear Ghostbuster jumpsuits an boots to the Oscars (if and when they win for How To Be A Woman).
The Finnish edition of How To Be A Woman has a rather skewed blurb (this is translated straight from the blurb on the pre-order page, here). Apparently Caitlin needs to "nag" and they've translated "rant" as… "sermon". And I don't know if the translator even knows what Botox is used for. As for the convoluted "her personal history transforms into common injustices" bit, it's exactly that confusing in Finnish. It looks like they gave the translation job to someone who doesn't speak great English or great Finnish, for that matter (we usually tend to have pretty skilled translators, so it stands out all the more). I can't help but think the translator and/or the publisher absolutely hated the book and feminists in general…
|Caitlin on the Voice.
A Twitter row kicked off recently between whoever it is that mans (deliberate choice of word) the Mock the Week feed, and a number of people who are sick of the lack of women on TV panel shows.However, it was interesting to hear Caitlin Moran and Grace Dent picking up the thread on Saturday evening at the Cheltenham Literary Festival. Their hour-long session involved the two very funny women, and a female chairperson, debating around the topic of Twitter and pop culture. The session was fantastically entertaining… and also bizarrely unusual because it was a female-only panel.During the Q&A, a woman in the audience suggested Moran and Dent should turn this into a TV show as it was so funny, and people would love it. A whoop of agreement went up from the sold-out crowd. And of course, the woman who asked this question was right – this would make brilliant TV. However, both Moran and Dent just laughed wryly, and said they'd never be allowed to talk in such a candid way on TV… because women never are.This led to Moran saying she turns down appearances on shows such as Have I Got News For You if they ask, because she knows she will be on as the token female guest, that she will rarely be allowed to speak, and when she is allowed to speak – it will be edited out before screening in order to "save her from herself", with the result that the only clips of her actually shown would be her politely tittering at a man's jokes. The implication, said Moran, is that women don't get politics and can't understand political humour. So she doesn't bother anymore. Dent agreed.Jo Brand has also said she won't go on Mock The Week anymore as she was sick of not being allowed to speak. And Brand's not the only one to publicly complain about this. Mariella Frostrup, Victoria Wood, Rhona Cameron… these are just a handful of the intelligent and witty women to speak to the press about this problem in the past few years. But still nothing is being done. While women are not being heard on panel shows, the female audiences are turning off in droves – bored to tears by hearing the likes of Stephen Fry, Dara O'Briain and Russell Howard talk YET AGAIN about how pleased with themselves they are.But back to Saturday, and Dent added that when she writes for some magazines and newspapers, her typically barbed style is generally toned down by the sub-editors, in what she perceives as a well-intentioned effort by the subs to "save me from myself". Moran agreed that she sometimes experiences the same thing. When Dent wondered aloud if male writers would experience the same level of censorship in their writing, Moran quickly and loudly laughed and said "not a chance".But WHY are women so under-represented on TV and radio (let's save cinema for another time)? Why?! It would be hilarious to see Moran and Dent afforded an hour-long TV show every week, where they could talk in the same articulate, intelligent and hilarious way as they did on Saturday night. If Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington can make a career out of podcasts and TV spin-offs of themselves rambling on about nothing in particular, why can't women do the same? I dare say they'd be just as funny, but a lot less sexist and disablist than some of the unpleasant guff I've heard Gervais and Merchant say in their otherwise funny podcasts.Earlier at Cheltenham, I heard Dent do a reading from her book How To Leave Twitter, and I was thrilled that she chose the section which highlights this very issue – the absence of intelligent women on TV, yet the wealth of identikit programmes with men looking like potatoes in jumpers.Nobody seems to know what the solution is to making women more visible on panel shows, and allowing women an equal voice on TV and radio. And nobody can tell me why there is such a lack of women being given a voice – and by this, I do not mean women who are there only for what they look like, but women who actually have something interesting, amusing or relevant to say.Women make up 52% of the population, but you wouldn't know it by turning on your TV or radio. As a result, I rarely watch any TV these days as it seems so irrelevant to me, and so out of touch with the life that I live.

Just thought you might like to know that I met Ms Moran yesterday! Queued behind her at Caffe Nero in Victoria Station. She was with her little ones and in a massive rush but I gushingly told her she was amazing and she thanked me, very kindly. I was shaking for about 10 minutes afterwards.
Lovely, lovely woman!
Legit amazing story.

Netflix shares tumble on B of A downgrade
An analyst says the volatility of the media company's stock outweighs its potential rewards.
Netflix (NFLX) shares traded sharply lower Tuesday after Bank of America (BAC) downgraded the stock.
Shares of the online video-streaming and movie rental company rose more than 30% last week and got a boost Monday after a Morgan Stanley (MS) upgrade. But Bank of America has since dropped its rating on the company from "buy" to "underperform."
Bank of America analyst Nat Schindler reportedly told his clients that, given the volatile nature of Netflix share prices, "we now believe the risks outweigh the reward."
Observers also believe growing content costs and widespread competition from Amazon (AMZN) and others will lead to disappointing results for Netflix in its third-quarter earnings report on Oct. 23.
The past year has seen some wild swings in Netflix's share price. The stock started January below $70 but rose to above $120 in spring. Shares tumbled below $60 last month but began to climb back and were trading Tuesday at $66.36.

Edwin Gilbert Thurlow (1909-1997) attended Purdue University from 1928 to 1929, received a B.S. in Landscape Architecture from North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (later North Carolina State University) in 1932, and received Master of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University in 1936. He traveled through Europe in 1937 as a Charles Eliot Traveling Fellow in Landscape Architecture (a Harvard program). He attended Princeton's Naval Officer's Training School in 1943. He joined the North Carolina State College faculty in 1947 as Professor of Landscape Architecture, and taught there until his retirement in 1974. He also served as Head of the Department of Landscape Architecture in the School of Design from 1947 to 1951. Thurlow served as a consultant in landscape architecture in private practice; was a member of numerous professional societies, professional committees, and academic committees; and authored several articles and papers on landscape architecture.
This collection is arranged in two series: Correspondence and Photographs.
The Edwin Gilbert Thurlow correspondence series contains personal and professional correspondence and other material written and received during Thurlow's term as Professor of Landscape Architecture at North Carolina State University, 1947-1974. Letters make up the bulk of the collection, with notable correspondence between Thurlow and Richard C. Bell, Carey Hoyt Bostian, Roberto Burle Marx, Lewis Clarke, Harold Dunbar Cooley, Garrett Eckbo, Frederick Edmundson, Sam J. Ervin, George Watts Hill, B. Everett Jordan, George Matsumoto, Rodrigo Velarde Ortiz, Hubert B. Owens, Bremer W. Pond, Robert Royston, Terry Sanford, Robert Walter Scott, and Stanley White.
These papers document Thurlow's correspondence with students, garden clubs, lawmakers, and colleagues in Landscape Architecture at N.C. State and other institutions. Other written material includes Thurlow's 1968 article
The Edwin Gilbert Thurlow photograph series contains approximately 1,600 photos and photographic postcards, circa 1930s and 1940s. The photo and postcard collection focuses on architecture and landscape architecture in Europe, Asia, and the northeastern United States. All are in the order in which they were received, which does not always appear to correspond to the divider headings. Some dividers had no photos associated with them and were removed. These were "Harvard University" in Card Box 2 and "Philadelphia Estates," "U.S., N.Y., Westchester," "Smith," and "Germany" from Card Box 4.
Photographs make up approximately 95% of the series, and all are black and white. Postcards are predominantly black and white and unwritten, with a few exceptions. Photos are nearly all 3 ¼" x 5 ½"; some postcards are slightly larger.

Occupational mobility rates for January 2004 show a consistent relationship between age and mobility—as age increases, occupational mobility rates decline.
The occupational mobility rate is the number of individuals employed in two time periods who change occupations divided by the number of individuals employed in both periods. In January 2004, the rate ranged from 1.6 percent for those 65 and older to 27.1 percent for those 16 to 19.
Generally, older persons have invested more time in completing their education or training and have built more experience in an occupation. As a result, they derive a smaller benefit from changing occupations.
However, younger persons, on average, have less to lose from experimenting with different occupations.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. This article presents occupational mobility data for the January 2003 to January 2004 period. For more information, see "Occupational mobility, January 2004," by Lynn Shniper, Monthly Labor Review, December 2005.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Editor's Desk, Occupational mobility and age on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2006/jan/wk1/art02.htm (visited September 22, 2014).
This edition of Spotlight on Statistics examines labor productivity trends from 2000 through 2010 for selected industries and sectors within the nonfarm business sector of the U.S. economy. Read more »

It has been a week since the Vermont Championship Beast. Arguably the hardest Spartan Race this side of the Ultra Beast. We had a chance to catch up with some of the Pro Team to get their feedback on the race. Despite their toughness, training and experience, they suffer the same mental and physical challenges along the course. Here is some of what they shared with us.
Elliott Megquier, who has completed more Spartan Races this year than any other Pro Team athlete, shared his thoughts.
"It was about of mental and physical toughness. It was not about who was the fastest runner (a two time NYC Marathon Champion quit), not about hype. It was about determination and plugging away. I was discourage after doing 30 burpees for the spear and then for the Tarzan swing. But I brushed it aside and ran through cramping."
Jenny Tobin, finished in 4th place and was the ProTeam's top placing women.
"I had three goals: goal C was to finish, goal B be in the top 10 and goal A be in the top 5. I felt like I could at least accomplish my C goal but I had thought that in Vegas too and did not finish…Anyway, I lined up a few rows back and started very slowly not knowing how I would feel and knew it would be a long day so no sense in going anaerobic from the get go." She went on to say, "The obstacles were tough but the mountain seemed like the biggest obstacle. I also felt like there were as not as many obstacles as the year before other than the mountain this year, however, the killer obstacle was the 60 lb sand bag carry straight up hill and down that seemed to go on forever!!! I would have liked to have seen Morgan Arritola carry that thing being that she probably doesn't even weigh a 100 lbs."
Ang Reynolds, one of the most experienced Spartan Pro Team women on the course had her own finishing doubts along the way.
"Coming back down that mountain I rolled my ankle on a rock under some grass. I went down, picked myself back up, and made the decision to walk off the course. At this point, I realized my will to finish could not supersede my lack of training. I was completely spent. I limped down the mountain and finally caught sight of my fiancé. I told him I
was going to quit. I told him that it was the smartest thing I could do at that time to avoid further injury. He looked at me and said, "Well, let's make sure. Why don't you pick up that sandbag and start climbing while you think?" I grabbed the sandbag and headed back up the mountain. I have since heard that those sandbags were between 65-75 pounds, more than my 7-year-old son, and well over half of my body weight. That wasn't very fun.
Miguel Medina, who has seen the podium many times this year, most recently at the NorCal Beast had his own personal triumph on the race course.
"Dealing with an injury less than halfway through the race hampered my efforts and shattered any hopes of achieving a top finish, at this point the race was completely mental; finish…adapt or die. I refused to be beaten by this beast, regardless of my placement I was going to finish this race, and I reject the idea of quitting so almost 6 hours later, it was all over…beat up, tired, weak and weary…but not defeated." and "Adversity tests our will and asks us to do more, so I'm answering the call…next year The Beast won't know what hit it.
Cody Moat, last years winner and this years 4th place man almost DNF'd. Here is what went through his head at that point and how he came back to finish strong. After a failed attempt at the Tarzan swim
"Half way through my burpees my legs began to cramp. Instead of the burpees taking 2 minutes they took around 3 minutes. I knew at this point that it would be hard to regain the lead but I thought perhaps there was still a chance. So I took off again and only made it 200 meters and my leg really cramped. I sat there on the ground while Matt Murphy ran by. I didn't know what to do, I'd never had a cramp that bad. So I began hobbling back to a DNF when I decided that I was going to find a way to make my cramped quad bend. So I pushed down on the ground as hard as I could to make my knee bend and it finally bent and released the cramp. By this time Matt had probably gained 5 minutes on me so I knew that it would be tough to catch up with anyone ahead of me. So off I went through the woods but I couldn't really get going again because I knew any minute my cramp may return. After about 2 more miles of running I had worked out my cramped muscles but there was no catching anyone up ahead so I finished the race in 4th place."
Christopher Rutz, the Tough Training guy and the oldest man on the Pro Team hit a huge obstacle at the Tyrolean Traverse.
"Coming into the Tyrolean Traverse I was in a good position in the course. So I aggressively decided to traverse under the rope. In hindsight, this was a big mistake for me at this point in the race. I should have been more conservative and used the 'on the top' approach. I attempt the traverse 3 times, and each time I failed. Once trying on the top, but without a shirt the impact of rope burn on my chest was unpalatable. Pumping out thirty burpees after each attempt really zapped my strength, but not my spirit. I was determined to finish the race despite the impact this would have on my time and placement. You can be sure I will have revenge on the Traverse and The Beast next year."

IMMOKALEE -- Back in the late 1970s, angler and marine artist Ross Myers of Pembroke Pines routinely enjoyed 100-bass days fishing in 1,500-acre Lake Trafford near Immokalee.
Phenomenal, Myers said. One of the hottest fisheries around.
Myers friend, freshwater guide captain Joe Gruny of Lake Worth, had similar bass experiences on the lake until the mid 1990s. That was when the largest natural lake south of Okeechobee crashed from too much muck and too little oxygen that just about wiped out the bass population. Neither Myers nor Gruny fished there again until two weeks ago.
Both were pleasantly surprised.
No slime. No nastiness, Myers said. The water was definitely cleaner.
Added Gruny: There was an abundance of bait fish which tells me theres bluegills and crappie forage for the bass to eat. It tells me the fish are healthy.
Fishing blind after so many years, the pair didnt exactly bust the bass, but Myers caught and released two to about 4 pounds using a Gambler Senko worm.
In a local tournament held a few weeks beforehand, the catch was much better. Winners Dennis Spayberry and Chris Krill weighed five bass totaling 28.23 pounds. Their largest was 7.53. Runners-up Ken Willis and Charles Bass had a 25.41-pound sack with a big fish of 6.71.
Those results are particularly pleasing to Barron Moody, regional fisheries administrator for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, whose agency joined with the South Florida Water Management District to restore the lake beginning in 2004.
Its not saying everybodys going to have those results, but that told me you could go out to Lake Trafford and have decent bass fishing, Moody said.
Meanwhile, populations of bluegill and black crappie are booming, and Lake Trafford has been ranked as one of the top 10 crappie fisheries in the state.
From 2004 to 2010, workers dredged 6.3 million cubic yards of muck coating the lake bottom at a cost of about $21.3 million. The FWC restocked the lake in 2010 and 2011 with 500,000 bass fingerlings from the agencys Richloam hatchery. Now, those fish reportedly make up 40 percent of the population.
Aquatic plants such as bulrush and Illinois pond weed have been replanted while exotic hydrilla is being limited to five acres or less. Moody says the agency is being careful about treating the hydrilla with herbicide to prevent a build-up of dead vegetation that could deplete oxygen levels in the water. Future projects in conjunction with Collier County involve controlling shore erosion at lakefront Ann Olesky Park and the adjacent boat ramp.
Were not done. Lake Trafford is still on the radar, Moody said. Were enjoying the success a little bit now.
Anglers may keep five bass per day with a minimum size of 18 inches and theres an allowance for one fish 22 inches or larger.
Ski Olesky, owner of Lake Trafford Marina and widower of the parks namesake, is glad the bass are coming back but wishes the FWC would manage them for catch-and-release only.
I discouraged people for years from fishing, Olesky said. After they dredged, I wanted this fishery to grow. I told white lies.
But now the secret is out and fishermen have an even greater incentive to check out Lake Trafford: The FWC just announced it will award a prize package to the first angler to weigh a bass heavier than 8 pounds under the rules of the statewide TrophyCatch program. TrophyCatch rewards anglers who catch, document, and release exceptional bass; visit TrophyCatchFlorida.com.
Gruny, who guides mainly on Lake Okeechobee, says Lake Traffords new-found bounty provides additional options for South Florida anglers when the fishing is off in the Everglades and the Big O.
Id probably bring my son out here so he could cut his teeth on driving the boat and finding the fish, Gruny said.
Added Myers: The money they put into it and the looks of the lake, it has a lot of potential. Id like to see it a year from now.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Because of the sheer size of the archives of some blogs, and the amount of content in blogs, blogs do very well in getting visitors from search engines. In fact, I would dare to say that blogs are one of the best platforms for you to target and capture search engine traffic.
For my own blog here at Blogopreneur.com, I get more than 50% of my unique visitors from search engine traffic, and in a month, I am getting search traffic for thousands of different search terms.
I think it is also useful to realise that search engines bring in the most targeted traffic! Why? Because these people are already searching for information! If your site pops up in the first few results, it creates a perception that you know about that keyword or key phrase they are searching for.
Optimizing for Search Engines
Over the next few paragraphs, I'm going talk about how you can optimize your blog for search traffic. One point worth mentioning is that these points do well for you only when you have the content in your blog. Tweaking the HTML codes alone will not bring in tons of visitors. Compelling content brings in the visitors. Optimizing your blog helps in making it easier for the search engine spiders to come and find out about your blog – and when you make it very clear to the spiders what your site is about, you will find yourself listing better in the results.
Optimization Tip #1 – Let your titles tell the story
One of the most important thing about search optimizing a page – if you'd ask ANY SEO practitioner – is how you title your page. When I mean title, I mean what goes in between your
The title of each web page is like the front cover of a book – if the cover (and the title of the book) does not capture the attention, then nobody will even take a second look at your contents, right? The same goes for web pages.
Search engines work on keywords and key phrases. So in order to attract search engine traffic, you need to put your keywords and key phrases early in the title. So let's say you blog about gadgets, and recently, a new gadget called "alphazulu player" is released today. In order to target visitors searching for this gadget, you need to put "alphazulu player" in your title, and I would even recommend putting that as the first two words of the title.
This will help in positioning yourself high in the rankings of the search engines.
There is one important thing about titles, and this is especially for blogs. You see, your blog has a title, and then, each post also has a title. Very often the post title is much more specific than the blog's title. However, a lot of blog templates put the title in the permalink pages in the format of [Blog Title] – [Post Title]. You need to edit your blog template to change it to [Post Title] – [Blog Title]. This will put your specific keywords for each post right up in front.
Optimization Tip #2 – Meta tags
Some may argue that many search engines do not take note of the meta tags of a page any more, because of the spamming cases and keyword stuffing (unethical SEO practitioners stuff these tags with keywords in attempt to rank high for search results).
However, Google, for one, still uses the Meta Description tag. Let's take an example.
What you see above is one of my posts in the search results of Google, and the line highlighted with the arrow saying "Step by step instructions to install WordPress MU on a CPanel/WHM server." is what goes in my meta description tag.
So how do you add meta tags to a WordPress blog?
First, you have to add some custom fields to your post. This is done when you are composing your post in the admin panel. There is a section under the main post called custom fields. Use that section to add the two meta tags in – description and keywords.
Next, you have to edit your WordPress blog template.
In the template's single.php file, add these two lines inside your HTML head.
content="ID, "Description", true)); ?>">
content="ID, "Keywords", true)); ?>">
Then, you are done! The get_post_meta() function retrieves the custom fields according to what you keyed in.
Optimization Tip #3 – Resolve the canonical domain issue
My third tip for you in optimizing your blog is to resolve the canonical domain name issue. What is this? It basically means you have to choose between a "www" version or a non "www" version for your web site.
You see, most of the time we tell people something like "hey, my blog is at blogopreneur dot com". There is a fair group of people who will type http://blogopreneur.com and another group who will type in http://www.blogopreneur.com. Notice the difference between the two URLs? Most of the time, the two different URLs will give you the same content, but that is because "www" is configured to be the default subdomain. To search engines, http://www.blogopreneur.com and http://blogopreneur.com are supposed to be two different URLs.
So what happens is that you will find links coming in to both URLs, and you will want to focus all your efforts on one URL instead of two.
To do that, you need to use a redirection service, and more importantly, this redirection needs to be search engine friendly. If you have followed me all the way to using a Hostgator Linux plan, you can easily do this by adding something some code to the .htaccess file.
Here is the code (in this example, bloggingessentials.com is the domain name. Remember to replace it with your own)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^bloggingessentials.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.bloggingessentials.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Remember the .htaccess file that we created before, what you need to do now are:
1. Download the latest .htaccess file from the server using FileZilla FTP (Do NOT use the empty one in your own computer because WordPress has probably made changes to it when you updated your permalink structure)
2. Open the file in notepad to edit it.
3. Place this code above what you already have in the file.
4. Save the file.
5. Re-upload the file to the server.
Then you are done! What should happen now is that when you access your "non-www" version of the site you will be automatically redirected to the "www" version.
Optimization Tip #4 – Writing your post copy
Another one of the more important tips in optimizing your blog lies in how you write your blog post everyday. Content is king. One of the most important parameters that contribute to a good ranking in search engines is great content.
And you must know how to write well, so the search engine spiders will know how to index your pages efficiently.
Of course, SEO copywriting is a whole course and discipline by itself, and would take days to cover, so for now, I shall just list down some of the points that are more relevant to blogging and blog marketing.
1. Choose one keyword / key phrase to target per post
2. Focus only one one keyword per post, targeting to many is targeting nothing
3. Use subheaders. You might want to leave one HTML header (i.e. H1 – H6) for subheadings in your blog post.
4. Bold or italicize the text in your blog post to put emphasis on your keywords.
5. It would be good to repeat the keyword 2 – 3 times in the post, but do not do it too much, it may trigger your site to be spamming your keywords. As a guide, just write naturally!
6. When you first start your blog, do your best to keep your links on a page to less than 100. After a few months and when you are sure that your blog is categorized correctly, you can go ahead and add more.
7. Be sure who you link to. Always link to relevant sites. Remember to check your links regularly to make sure they are still intact.
8. Add alternate tags to your images, and you can put your keywords there, but again don't do it excessively. Again, to be on the safe side, the alternate tags should be descriptive of the picture.
9. If you are linking any files from your blog post, you can name the files appropriately. Again, you may use your keywords in them, but don't do it excessively.
Optimization Tip #5 – Designing for humans
One mistake that some SEO practitioners overlook when optimizing their website is that after all the optimization for search engines, the website looks horribly plain and unattractive! Well, I don't know who these practitioners are targeting to read their pages but for my blogs, I want humans to read them!
So while you go ahead and tweak away in your HTML editor, remember to check back in your browser what your blog looks like (if you are a half usability freak like me, you will have to check across different browsers!)… and it would be especially good if you could get a friend who is less tech savvy to give you a critique on your blog design!
Here are some tips to get started with.
1. When writing your posts, do your best to use short paragraphs. A paragraph on the web might juts be a sentence or two, or as short as one word.
2. Use bold or italics to highlight the important phrases that you want your reader to notice about the post.
3. Use the default blue color for links. The blue color (Hex: 0000FF) automatically identifies with people online that they are links. That said, when you use the blue for links, don't use it for other purposes and non-links!
4. Do your best to use Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet for fonts. These fonts are installed in different platforms, so the look of your website will be the same across platforms.
5. Use a white background with dark coloured fonts – unless you are a professional web designer and you are extremely comfortable with using the negative effect. Most dark designs either look sucky or unprofessional.
6. Always have a link back to the main page of your blog. Normally, clicking on a logo of a website brings you back home, so do the same for your blog.
Optimization Tip #6 – Write often
I guess I have mentioned this a couple of times now – quality content is king! Search engines love blogs because they are frequently updated. So my best piece of advice is to really write often. It doesn't matter if you don't have a grandmother story to tell. In fact, we don't want to hear grandmother stories! What we (and what Google loves) is frequent updates of short articles.
That's it for optimization!
So, that so much for optimization! Well, I would say that is not ALL you can do, but this is enough to get you started! In the next session, I will touch more on marketing – what you do off your blog to build incoming links, and traffic.

Police in Queens have arrested two teenagers suspected of trying to kidnap four girls on two separate incidents just minutes apart on Wednesday, April 30, 2014.
Authorities charged Joshua Wright, 17, and Andrew Ghulam, 16, both of Queens, with two counts each of unlawful imprisonment, endangering the welfare of a child, criminal possession of a weapon, and harassment, the NYPD said.
The men were in a dark-green SUV, possibly a Jeep Cherokee with New York plates, police said.
In the first incident, an 11-year-old girl said she noticed the SUV following her near 111 Avenue and 208 Street in Jamaica at about 4 p.m., police said. A masked man in the passenger's seat got out and tried to talk to her, but she ran away, police said.
A few minutes later, possibly the same SUV approached a 10-year-old girl and two 11-year-old girls near 113th Avenue and 196th Street, police said. The girls said a masked man, this time with a gun, got out of the car. The girls ran and hid behind a parked vehicle as the SUV circled around before driving away, police said.
If you have any information about these cases, contact the Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting a message to 274637 and entering TIP577.
