CHICAGO - The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church, have issued the following joint statement on 2016 World AIDS Day.
World AIDS Day Statement
December 1:
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are reminded of the promise of life that was given to us, unconditionally. Scriptures teach us that God's gift of life extends to all of us, no matter our circumstances. In the words of Apostle Paul, "So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest-time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all…" (Galatians 6:9-10).
For many years, Lutherans, Episcopalians and other communities of faith have been engaged in efforts to provide care, treatment, prevention services, and have supported initiatives that fight stigma and discrimination towards those living with HIV. We mourn the 35 million lives lost to AIDS and, with 36.7 million people still living with HIV worldwide, our churches, our governments, and all other partners need to do more. We encourage Lutherans and Episcopalians near and far to stand in solidarity with all persons living with HIV, and to continue the difficult work of building an AIDS-free generation. We recommit ourselves to a future free of this pandemic.
A challenge of this magnitude requires all our efforts. Inequitable access to the life-saving medications, healthy diet and other vital determinants for breaking the hold of this epidemic, continue to disproportionately impact persons of color. A significant piece of this work is to ensure that antiretroviral medications are available to everyone who needs it. Currently, less than half of people affected by HIV have access to these lifesaving medications. Studies have shown that when a person who is HIV+ takes antiretroviral medications continuously and correctly, their viral load can be suppressed to the point where they are no longer infectious. In other words, treatment is prevention. And so, we must expand our efforts in this area.
We are called as people of faith actively to eliminate stigma and discrimination within our own faith communities and especially that which affects marginalized vulnerable and key populations (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people, sex workers, people who inject drugs, prisoners, migrants, women and girls). We must be steadfast in our defense of the dignity and human rights of all people living with HIV.
As part of the sustainable development goals, which the United Nations adopted in September of 2015, the international community has committed to end the AIDS epidemic by the year 2030. Further commitments were made in June of this year when 192 countries meeting at the United Nations declared they will accelerate and scale up responses to HIV and AIDS to meet the goal of ending the epidemic by 2030. A critical pathway to this goal is the 90-90-90 strategy, which aims to ensure that by year 2020, 90% of those living with HIV will receive a diagnosis, 90% of persons living with HIV will receive antiretroviral medication, and 90% of those receiving antiretroviral will have their viral load suppressed.
Lack of funding for HIV and AIDS programs remains a challenge. The goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 will not be achieved if donor countries fail to address this funding gap. We call upon President-elect Donald Trump to make a public commitment to the global fight against HIV. We urge the new Administration and Congress to increase funding for PEPFAR; the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; and domestic programs that provide preventive and treatment services in the United States.

Sandwich #2: Grilled Cheese with Ham and Pineapple.
I have to say, although the sandwich looks delicious, I wasn't too impressed. For some reason, the pineapple blocked the heat to the cheese. The bread was near burning, but the cheese wasn't melted yet. And that my friends is the tell-tale sign of a mediocre Grilled Cheese.
However, I loved the taste of the grilled pineapple so much that I tried Michael Smith's Grilled Pineapple Salad recipe the next night.
Check out the full recipe on Food Network.ca
Basically, grill pineapple and onions on the BBQ, then cut them up and mix them together with lemon juice, mint and olive oil.
A simple, but delicious side salad for BBQ season. I truly believe that anything tastes good on the BBQ.
All in all, a dissapointing Grilled Cheese. But I did find inspiration for an amazing side salad. That's the fun of cooking right?

If you need a reason to raise your glass on this muggy Tuesday, I've got one for you:
July 18th is Pigeon River Brewing Company's 5th anniversary.
It's also the feast day of St. Arnold of Metz, the patron saint of brewers (including Nate!).
A sixth century Austrian monk, St. Arnold (or "Arnulf" depending on the translation) encouraged people to drink beer rather than water. In those times, unclean water caused many illnesses. Beer, however, was much safer due to the boiling process killing bacteria and yeast cultures preventing future bacterial contamination. Indeed, the saint likely saved many lives—and brought great cheer—through his advice to "drink beer, not water." He's also accredited with saying, "From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world," a phrase which has become the unofficial motto of Pigeon River.
The brewery is not just a business; it's an extension of our family, and has been from the beginning. Five years ago, on the feast of St. Arnold of Metz, not only did we open our doors for business, we also found out we were expecting our first baby. More than the other children, Louisa became a bar-fly baby. In those early days, she spent many Saturdays in a jumper behind the bar, getting to know the regulars. Living on premise, we were always beckoned into the bar to greet customers, and the kids grew accustomed to the sweet smell of mash.
I have a feeling he's also been intercessing on our behalf. Starting a business can be extremely difficult on a marriage and family, and we're no exception. At times, building a dream and putting a product into the world left us feeling raw and vulnerable. Grueling hours, last-minute call-ins, and growing faster than our cash flow or schedules could support took their toll. On more than one occasion, I wanted to throw in the towel.
As in any worthwhile pursuit, the rewards are proving greater than the struggle. The look on a satisfied customer's face, an award at a beer festival, the ability to provide our employees a livelihood, and our children's grasp of the value of hard work is what keeps us going. Truly,"from man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world."
Raise your glass to St. Arnold and Pigeon River! Prost!

The first in a new series focussing on wildlife
A song about Clyde's adventure
Yes Clyde again! But this time it's different. It's a song about the last story I wrote, that is called 'Clyde Gets Moving' (I suggest you read that first).
Here it is:
"The Tail of the Curious Cat" (Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)
Clyde went for a walk,
Went into a van,
Clyde got locked in,
He didn't know where he was,
All that he was doing was stalking all along,
He went to a different suburb,
Then the van stopped,
Clyde was locked in all night.
Naughty Clyde, naughty Clyde,
He's gone on the run,
Catherine and Nanna are sad,
But Daddy thinks it's fun.
We got a call from Nanna,
She said "I have lost Clyde",
Now Nanna was looking, almost all night,
Next morning Nanna woke,
Up and went for a drive,
Guess who Nanna found,
Walking along the street,
It was curious CLYDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naughty Clyde, naughty Clyde,
He's gone on the run,
Catherine and Nanna are sad,
And Daddy was having fun.
Do you know what he was doing?
Yes prowling about!
Nanna called out,
"Clyde, puss, puss, puss",……..
And guess what he did…. Turned around and went,
"Meow, meow, meow,"
And ran straight back to,NAANNA!!!!!!!!
Naughty Clyde,naughty Clyde,
He's back from on the run!
Catherine and Nanna are glad,
Now Daddy's feeling glum.
Now daddy is sad,
Because the fur-rr ball is back,
The household is once again Ruled by cats.
Naughty Clyde, naughty Clyde,
He's back from on the run,
Catherine and Nanna are glad,
Now Daddy's got the glums.

"Our future rests in our hands," declared Ethiopia's Prime Minister, Mr. Haile Mariam Desalegn on Monday in his keynote speech at the opening of the Conference of the African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Integration, holding on 4 April 2016 at the Conference Center of the Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Reflecting on harmonising and coordinating the different policies of the Sustainable Development Goals and Africa's own Agenda 2063, Prime Minister Desalegn urged African states to be "strategic, ambitious, rigorous and disciplined" if they are to achieve sustainable and inclusive development for their people. Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, implored African countries to improve young people's skills in science and engineering. "With an average of over 90% of graduates in social sciences, Africa's innovation and scientific skills lag behind."

Although mortgages are set for long terms such as twenty to thirty years, home owners usually have the opportunity to refinance their mortgages at regular intervals. For example, they may choose to re-sign at one year, three years, or even five years. Traditionally, financial institutes have offered different interest rates and bonuses depending on the contract that they wish to promote and the one that they want customers to consider. A five year contract may be at a reduced rate over the one year because the lender is guaranteed that income for five years. And if interest rates decline during the five years, the lender enjoys larger profitability.
Generally speaking, everyone refinances their mortgage when the contract is set to expire. At that time, many lenders will take the amount owing and the new interest rate and recalculate the monthly, bi-monthly, or weekly payments. Then you sign the agreement for another period determined in the contract. Other lenders, such as hard money lenders, may agree to continue a mortgage at the same rate and payment schedule. This is usually the case when mortgages are one-year terms. You have to decide whether this is advantageous to your circumstances or not. For some, there may not be any other alternative, and for others, the convenience of this type of mortgage may be more important than interest rates and reduced payments.
Please note that this article will cover conventional mortgages. Niche products like reverse mortgages are a bit outside of the scope of what we're trying to accomplish today.
Admittedly, there are definitely times when you should refinance a mortgage. The first and obvious time to refinance is when interest rates are lower. By locking into a reduced your rate and keeping the same payment, you reduce the time it takes to pay off your home. Your money is going to principal and less to interest, and this has to be one of the main benefits of home loan refinances.
Second, refinancing your mortgage when you have some money to apply to the total amount means that you have more equity in your home. Should you require the funds in the future for a rainy day, you have your home mortgage upon which to fall. Also, the money you save by reducing your mortgage, assuming you make lower payments, can be used for something else like a vacation at the end of the year. On the other hand, after making the down payment, and keeping the original payments in effect, you reduce the cost of the mortgage dramatically.
Third, many people agree to variable rate mortgages because they are willing to gamble that interest rates will remain constant or decline. But in most instances, the home owners become weary and frightened from the constant fluctuations. Being able to refinance the mortgage allows a home owner to lock in at a fixed rate, thereby reducing the stress of the original mortgage terms.
Fourth, by keeping your mortgage in good standing and having an excellent credit record, you may be able to capitalize on reduced rates as a preferred customer.
Finally, should the need arise that you must have available funds for some sort of emergency, refinancing a mortgage might make perfect sense.

Finding inexpensive plane flights is not that hard, you just need to know how to find them. I don't know why people simply settle for the first option that comes their way. This is good if you want to spend tons of money on every flight, but I'm going to show you a couple of secrets that you can use to find good deals on traveling.
There are a couple things you should consider when looking for cheap flights. One of the most important aspects is being flexible, being flexible will give you more options and opportunities to find better deals. By flexible I mean not restricting yourself to a specific time and date. Of course you can set a range but if you set a specific time and date you will only get a deal between that date, while there can be a much cheaper inexpensive plane flights earlier or later that week.
Call The Company
Don't be afraid to call the actual airline company. You'll actually be surprised that the representatives might actually give you a better deal if you actually talk to them. There are a couple situations where you can call them and may get a discount. tell them that you're traveling with a family. A family consists of a husband and a wife at least, often family packages are better than one-way tickets anyway. This may grant you a better deal on your travels.
If you're flying to attend the meeting, let them know. There might be considerate and may offer you a better deal, but you may have to show proof that you're attending a meeting or conference. Before you even book just ask if there are any special discount price packages. Many companies will have them but forget to offer them, so just ask.
There are even secret websites that people just don't know about where you can find the deals. One of them is top20.travelzoo. You can find the top 20 deals every single week, from different websites all over the Internet and get great inexpensive plane flights.

Product harm crises common but serious issues for organizations. Product harm crises can place customers in danger. Hurting consumers is a serious risk for any organization. In the food industry, product harm crises are often called food safety crises. People are most concerned about products they consume or place on their skin making food safety crises potentially a massive problem. Again, food safety crises are common with hundreds per year in the U.S. alone. Any firm involved in the food industry should be prepared for a food safety crisis.
The number one priority during a food safety crisis needs to be the consumers. Harming consumers is a horrible form of negative publicity for a firm. The crisis communication must feature instructing information—telling consumers how to protect themselves from the danger. A food safety crisis is one of those crises where people really want or need the crisis messages because they could be at risk of harm. Not all crises, especially reputational crises, create such stakeholder demands/needs for information.
Oddly, the data finds that food companies are hesitant to use their won social media channels for communicating recalls to consumers. Around 10% for food companies will place recall information on their Twitter feeds or Facebook pages. This reality runs counter to industry and governmental recommendations to food companies to use their digital channels during a recall (food safety crises demand a recall).
Recently, Bush Brothers & Company had to recall certain types of their baked beans. Can seems in certain batches could be defective so the recall was initiated to protect consumers from the potential danger. The risk was discovered internally and there were no known illnesses at the time of the recall. Below is the text of the full message. The Bush Twitter feed and Facebook page announced the recall and provided a link the message below. People are told the exact product with the problem and to throw the product out (instructing information). Bush Brothers added an apology for the inconvenience caused by the situation. Their words match their actions—the firm is showing concern for consumers.
Text of the Recall Message:
A Message For Our Customers July 22, 2017
For more than 100 years, Bush Brothers & Company has been dedicated to producing the highest quality products for our valued consumers, customers and their families.
On July 22, 2017, we announced a voluntary recall of certain 28 ounce cans of BUSH'S® Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, Country Style Baked Beans and Original Baked Beans due to potentially defective side seams on the cans. This recall was initiated after our internal quality assurance checks identified the issue. Subsequent investigations indicated a temporary quality issue from one of our can suppliers. The problem was corrected and no other product is affected.
As a fourth generation family owned business, we are guided by our values of integrity, caring, responsibility, and trust and we apologize for any inconvenience or concern this situation may cause. It's important to note that, to date, no illnesses or other adverse consequences have been reported in connection with this voluntary recall; however, we urge you to dispose of these affected products immediately even if the beans do not look or smell spoiled. We are working with our retailers to ensure timely removal of affected product from their warehouses and shelves.
To view the affected Lot Numbers and Best By dates, please see below. BUSH'S® Consumer Relations is available to answer any questions you may have by calling 1-800-590-3797 Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Information may also be found on our website at http://www.bushbeans.com.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this issue. We appreciate your continued loyalty.
Questions to Consider
- Why would food companies choose not to use their social media channels to communicate information about a product recall?
- What is the danger of not using social media channels during a food safety recall?
- How did the message from Bush Brothers go beyond just instructing information and how might that further help the company during this crisis?

Furthermore, I fully disagree with belief = love. I believe many horrible things have happened and show no love towards them. I believe you exist, however, I can't say that I love you beyond the base amount of love I have (or try to have) for the human race.
The amount of information (this could be another debate) pertaining to how our universe and the things in it appear designed are one of the many reasons I believe in a creator being outside of our space-time. Once I've arrived at that conclusion, the search was for "who" that could be. My search has led me to believe in the Christian God/Jesus. This conclusion then meaning the Christian God is not simply a belief, but an actual "thing".
no its simply means people are very easy to fool
love=positive emotion+returning at energy
human is a species, the bad part being love, by negative contrast by necessety of opposition for positive to exist
only santa is outside of space and time
belief that, to believe there is something or someone outside of space and time is the only way for someone or something to not be outside space and time
dude my proof that you are wrong is your words.. there is just no way to put it better
However, your debate statement is that the Christian God is simply a metaphor. As you did not respond to my ideas of evidence pointing in that direction (which I was expecting to elaborate on, but couldn't) I will try my best to sum up a counter side.
Belief is a definable thing. Your statement implies the Christian God was only constructed by human minds, therefore is a metaphor.
I tried to go the route of showing there is an intelligence behind creation and expected to elaborate on why here. However, as there is no follow-up, Ill finish with this:
For those who believe in God, he is absolutely not a simple metaphor for belief.
For those who do not believe in God, the idea of a being who created everything, is not a metaphor, but an option.
Therefore, the Christian God is not a metaphor for belief, but is an option for belief.
Thank you for your time and comments.

They had some of the yummiest drinks that all of us ladies got! And...my dad LOVES oysters so we got a huge plate of them and I tried my first one...I was a little scared!!! It really wasn't that bad until the slimy texture took over...Going down was the worst part! Yuck! hahaha
I think I will leave the oysters for my dad... hahaha! Not my fave!
The restaurant had a volleyball court and playground attached to it and the bay was on the other side. We took advantage of a little V-Ball time. Victoria was sooooo excited to be playing with her big aunts and uncles!! :)
The next day would be our last day at the beach so we wanted to make the most of it! We got out there early and stayed as late as we could! I'm not the one to usually get too far into the ocean. The unknown kind of creeps me out!! But, the day before I had caught a wave on the boogie board and I was set to perfect this skill! I was having too much fun to think about the creepy critters in the ocean! hahaha!
Finally it was time to come back to the hotel room and get ready for dinner. Tonight we were going to be heading over to Peg Leg Pete's by the recommendation of the Hotel workers.
Love these 2! The people responsible for this awesome Disney/Beach vacation!
Snack time before heading out! Sometimes you just feel the nead for a 'bag full of cheetos face'...
It was a fun night but we were all pretty exhausted by this point and passed out pretty early once we got back to the hotel. After singing at the top of our lungs and dancing waiting on the trolley to take us back of course! Next morning was rise and shine and time to hit the road to make our last trek back home. We were not excited to leave!
But as sad as we were...we were all tired and ready to be back in our beds. Except for the drivers, we slept most of the way back. The Mississippi River rest stop was pretty neat and then it was home stretch.
I absolutely loved being able to take a vacation with my family! It was the first time all 9 of us have travelled somewhere together and even though traveling with 9 people can have it's difficulties and we all had our own highs and lows of the trip...we had a blast overall and I love the memories we all shared together! That Vico celebration was on of the best yet to date! And, I can't wait until our next trip! :) Although I'm sure my dad would love to harvest his crops BEFORE we leave on the trip...HOLY ZUCCHINI!!
Circle Star Pet Resort to anyone who is in the same boat as us!!
Circle Star Pet Resort to anyone who is in the same boat as us!!
And a little video recap of the beach fun. Including my boogie-boarding and trying oysters! Yuck! ;)

Washington: Lindsay Lohan will reportedly be flying off to Europe for a vacation, once she is done with her rehab treatment.
Sources close to the troubled star told TMZ.com, that after her 90-day-court-ordered rehab finishes up, the ` Mean Girls` star will head to London for some R `n` R, on the first stop of the European adventure.
The insiders revealed that a gal pal of Lohan offered to take her as a gift for a "job well done in rehab".
The source asserted that since Lohan has some time on her hand before her OWN docu-series begins filming, she quickly agreed to the Euro trip .
The publication`s insiders said that Lohan booked a one-way ticket and has no return date set yet, but hopefully it`s before she`s scheduled to film.
The sources added that Lohan believes the trip will give her some privacy during her post-rehab days.

Being attacked by moped gang on my birthday night. I'm just tired of these type of black people that go around committing crimes in the name of fighting for justice.
Me and my friend were involved in a robbery incident on my birthday night. Okay so then, these people stole from us, damaged the car.
Am I going to hold on to this forever? No. I will not because we stayed alive for a reason better than constantly going back at how they stole from us.
This is why I don't understand black people that constantly say the West stole from Africa.
What exactly did they steal that we can't get back? I mean Aliko Dangote is one of the richest men in World, is he not African?
I mean why are some people always capitalising on how Africa was robbed thousands of years ago. If you really want to change your story, you will like all the other successful black people have done.
Some of us were not even born yet, we didn't witness anything like the robbery incident I witnessed but yet still, they are fighting for something they know nothing about.
Who ever is brain washing the youths of vulnerable adults, should stop.
This is not adding any value to our community it just makes the black youths angry and feel like they need to get what was stolen from them.
From the voices of the gang that robbed us, I could tell they are young boys. Also in the story I have attached below by The Evening Standard, the gang members were age 16, 17 & 18. This just left me speechless.
Personally I think it is just stupidity to be stealing from people who didn't directly steal from you.
Your justice don't make any kind of sense because you are just hurting innocent people.
The world has revolved a lot, many rich people are making money out of their talents and not what was apparently stolen from Africa.
Steve Jobs, Bill Gates etc got rich from their craft not from anything stolen from Africa.
To think that rich people don't work for their money is just ignorant.
If indeed anything was stolen from Africa, it was by the help of our leaders. They could have fought back but no, they wanted the cigarettes, rum etc in exchange for their own people. Now whose fault is that?
Is like me selling my watch and blaming the person that bought it?
You can't be stealing from people because you are angry because they apparently stole from you. Basically you are doing the same thing you are fighting against, how is that gonna make a change?
The Incident
I really can't remember much, I was in real shock. How can this happen on my birthday night, how can this even happen to us.
But hey, it Happened, all I can remember is the saying the want the money, watch and they were going to shoot.

Moroccan ministry of mines raided
In complete violation of international law, Morocco is pillaging the minerals and phosphates in occupied Western Sahara. This week, their office in El Aaiun was raided by Saharawis. A phosphate worker was killed by Moroccan police.
Published: 10.11 - 2010 20:07

The UN has established that Saharawis must be consulted if natural resource activities in Western Sahara can take place.
But Morocco and the international firms that take part in the plunder, fail to consult the Saharawis.
This video shows the offices of the Department of Mines being raided by angry Saharawis. The raids started as the peaceful protest camp outside El Aaiun was stormed by Moroccan police on Monday 8 October.
In the same disturbances, not far from where this video was recorded, a worker of the phosphate mine was killed by the police. His name is Mahmoud Badi Gargar (below), and he has worked in the phosphate mines for 5 years. Mahmoud leaves wife and 2 kids.
Morocco occupies the major part of its neighbouring country, Western Sahara. Entering into business deals with Moroccan companies or authorities in the occupied territories gives an impression of political legitimacy to the occupation. It also gives job opportunities to Moroccan settlers and income to the Moroccan government.
Western Sahara Resource Watch
demands foreign companies leave Western Sahara until a solution to the conflict is found.

U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk told workers in Norridgewock that he was committed to saving American manufacturing jobs — but that might not mean their jobs.
The ebullient ambassador said the United States would be in "no rush" to do away with a tariff on imported footwear in the 11-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership now under negotiation, which keeps New Balance shoes competitively priced in the domestic marketplace. That is another way of saying the tariff would someday go away and companies like New Balance would eventually need to adapt to the competition or die.
This is hard-to-accept information for communities like Skowhegan, which would need to replace 900 good-paying jobs if the plant were killed by cheap imports. The impact would not just be on those 900 people, but also on their families and all the other businesses that benefit from the economic activity generated by people who are cashing New Balance paychecks.
The threat of losing New Balance, the last major shoemaker that makes part of its product line in the United States, lends itself to the same arguments that supporters of the U.S. auto industry made, when the Obama administration decided to step in and prevent General Motors and Chrysler from going under.
At the recent Democratic National Convention, speaker after speaker extolled the auto bailout, not because it would produce lower priced cars and trucks.
People talked about workers' self worth, their ability to support strong families and the community benefits that flow from having a functioning auto industry. Those are things you can't import at any price.
But Kirk reeled off numbers to the workers in Norridgewock that make protectionism look like a losing strategy.
He said 95 percent of the world's consumers live outside the United States and the American economy would grow more by serving that market. Even New Balance, Kirk said, does 40 percent of its business overseas, where it does not benefit from restrictive tariffs.
Collectively, the nation benefits more from growth in manufacturing and exports than it would from clinging to jobs in ever-less-competitive industries.
That does not mean abandoning communities like Norridgewock, Oxford and Skowhegan, which is why Kirk's visit was well received. Through negotiations, the tariff could be phased out over a long period, giving the company time to change its business strategy and preserve the jobs.
In a meeting with The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram editorial board, Kirk was critical of NAFTA, the first free trade deal, because it did not do enough to ensure that partner countries had labor and environmental standards that would keep competition fair. Better enforcement of agreements will make sure of that. And he said the agreements should protect American companies from competing with state-owned operations.
Politicians from both parties are pushing Kirk to save the tariff, but modernizing American industry and opening markets to our exports may be the only way to save those jobs.

Over the years, as I was just a guy in the trench I did pay attention to what worked and what didn't work. What contributed to successes and what ended up failing miserable. What improved morale and what shattered it. I started to realize that I had a pretty good instinct for these things.

But none of that mattered until I was the actual decision maker. I realize now you have to be in the moment to appreciate making the decision. Instinct is great, but why wouldn't you research, as you suggest, the successes and failures of companies gone before?

These days that would seem like a fundamental competitive behavior. Especially in the local area that is ripe with "me toos" competing with you.

Thanks for the post.Tyler Byehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985981087048590440.post-65643618930010064822009-12-14T07:12:47.202-08:002009-12-14T07:12:47.202-08:00Joshua, yes.

A few years ago, people were able to make thousands of dollars per month by bidding on keywords and SEO for these "catalog" sites that had no original content. With GoDaddy and everyone else now using this strategy for parked domains and ongoing changes in Google's search algorithm, this strategy is much less successful today than it was two years ago. This is a great example of efficiencies decreasing the effectiveness of a black hat strategy over time.Jim Ericsonhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985981087048590440.post-59351755108308132822009-12-13T09:54:27.691-08:002009-12-13T09:54:27.691-08:00Hey Jim, nice article.

Email marketing is still one of the best ways to communicate directly with your customers. It's a fantastic way of keeping customers and prospects 'warm' - encouraging repeat purchases and up-sell opportunities; communicating special offers and providing customer services.
Not only that, it's also incredibly measurable and very cost effective compared to other forms of direct marketing.

JGRMX Dominates in Daytona; Mark Martin 2nd in Vegas
Team Interstate Wrap-up for March 10-11, 2012
Team Interstate/JGRMX teammates James "Bubba" Stewart and Davi Millsaps swept the podium at a very muddy Daytona Supercross on Saturday. It was the second win of the season for Stewart and the first podium finish of the year for Millsaps.
"I felt good all day," said Stewart. "I was fast in practice and we got a start, those Pirelli tires were awesome out there. Once I got out front I pulled a lead and just tried to survive."
The Daytona Supercross is always a unique stop of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Tour. The course, set up in the Daytona International Speedway infield, is more of a hybrid, part motocross and part supercross. It's often the toughest track of the season, even in perfect weather. Mother nature made the track rival even the worst outdoor motocross conditions. Rain pounded the track early in the day delaying practice and turning the racing surface into a quagmire.
Despite the conditions, Stewart and Millsaps easily transferred directly to the main event from their respective heat races with Stewart winning his eighth heat race of the season. With the track a muddy mess the start was crucial for the main event. When the gate fell it was Millsaps leading the pack with Stewart in tow. On lap three of 16 (the normal 20-lap main was shortened due to the conditions), Stewart passed Millsaps and the JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team riders maintained first and second to the checkers.
Martin Delivers Solid 2nd in Vegas
Veteran Mark Martin, winner of four NASCAR Nationwide Series races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, came up one spot short of his fifth series win in Saturday's Sam's Town 300.
The driver of the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) led once for a total of 44 laps, but after surrendering the lead coming off of pit road on lap 146, Martin couldn't get around eventual race winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and brought the white-hot No. 18 Interstate Batteries Camry home in the runner-up spot.
"Thanks to Joe Gibbs and everybody at JGR and Interstate Batteries," said Martin, who now has six top-two finishes in seven career Nationwide Series starts at Las Vegas. "This Toyota was awesome and they were awesome."
Martin's only finish outside the top-two at Las Vegas was a sixth-place effort in March 1998. "I have to admit, I almost wrecked the car five times trying to keep up with [Stenhouse] and finally just had to surrender. I just about wrecked it I don't know how many times. He was just gone and we have to, unfortunately, settle for second place."
Martin's JGR teammate, Brian Scott, driver of the No. 11 Toyota Camry, finished 34th after making contact with the outside SAFER Barrier in turn four, thus ending his day just prior to the race's halfway point.
Vegas Not Kind to JGR in Cup
A return to his hometown of Las Vegas did not generate the luck that Kyle Busch wanted during Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Kobalt Tools 400.
Busch, the driver of the No. 18 M&M's Ms. Brown/Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry for JGR, suffered a mid-race scrape with the wall, coupled with handling and track position woes, that proved too much to overcome and resulted in a disappointing 23rd-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"We started in the back, and we were able to move up through the field at the start with our M&M's Ms. Brown Camry," said Busch, who won a Sprint Cup race in 2009 at Las Vegas. "We ended up taking four tires on our second stop when everyone else took two and lost our track position. Then we got into the oil from the 93 car blowing up, and I got into the fence. Between that and not being able to keep up with the way the track changed, we just couldn't end up recovering from losing the track position. It was just a long and frustrating day for us."
Joey Logano, driver of the No. 20 Toyota Camry, led Team Interstate by finishing 16th. Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Toyota Camry, finished 20th.
Tony Stewart won the Kobalt Tools 400 to score his 45th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory, his first of the season and his first at Las Vegas.
NHRA Gatornationals Postponed
Team Interstate's Mike Edwards, driver of the Penhall/K&N/Interstate Batteries Pontiac Firebird, made it through the first two rounds of eliminations Sunday in the ProStock division at the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla. But rain moved in to postpone the final rounds until Monday.
UPDATE: Edwards won the Wally Monday in Gainesville with a 0.03-second reaction time in the finals. The story, from nhra.com:
In Pro Stock, Edwards used a holeshot start in his Penhall/Interstate Batteries Pontiac GXP to defeat Greg Anderson for his first win of the season and 33rd of his career. Edwards finished in 6.566 at 211.30 but his quicker reaction time allowed him to hold off the quicker but losing performance of Anderson's Summit Racing Equipment GXP, which finished in 6.538 at 211.69.
"I won on a holeshot, but I really can't explain it," Edwards said. "Those guys [Summit teammates Anderson and Jason Line] have been to the final round in all three races, so I knew I had to do something. You can never be late against those guys. You've got to go on time. I was very concerned about not having lane choice in the final. I didn't get down the track in that lane either time in qualifying, but I'm guessing maybe something about the rain helped us with our setup."
Next week: NASCAR goes to the bullring at Bristol and AMA Supercross goes to Indianapolis. NHRA drag racing resumes March 30 in Las Vegas.

Religious leaders plea for an end to violence
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - The senseless death of 7-year-old Terrez Coleman has his family begging for justice, and religious leaders calling for criminals to stop killing. They say the entire community needs to come together to stop this type of violence.
"Only a holistic response, will have any hope of success," said Raymond A. Jetson of Star Hill Church.
Religious leaders met Wednesday morning at Rose Hill Baptist Church, to assure the Coleman family that the killing will end with Terrez. They say the key to finding a solution begins with a strong faith, a desire to make a difference, and the power to ensure that the memory of Terrez will never fade.
"The emotion is right now," said Eric Williams, Beacon Light Baptist Church Pastor. "But what happens a week from now, two weeks from now, a month from now, when it seems that this is over and past. Somebody has to have that compassion that says no, I really have to do something about this."
They say the change needs to happen at home, in the classroom, and most importantly out on the street.
"The church has to recognize the responsibility to come out of the pews, and out of the building, and to become engrained in the community," Jetson said.
Deputies are doing extra patrols in the area of the shooting but there is still no arrest in his death. A memorial fund is set up at Capital One Bank.

I live in Wandsworth (in south-west London) and cover two patches:
(1) London Wetland Centre (Barnes WWT) plus the nearby Barnes Common and Beverley Brook.
(2) Wandsworth Common and the Thames between Battersea Bridge and Putney Bridge.
I started birding in 1980 when I lived in SE Essex and Lesser spotted Woodpecker was a garden bird (from the nearby Belfairs Woods). My local patches were Two Tree Island and Hadleigh & Leigh Marshes which turned up a few good birds (eg Cream coloured Courser found by Colin Todd and Ring billed Gull).
I didn't do any birding in the UK for almost all of the 90s but a series of overseas trips got me back into it and have now been back birding again for nearly a decade. Birding gets squeezed between work and kids but I usually get out a couple of times a week, if only when taking the kids out for a walk.
I have an erratically updated blog at South West London Birding

I looked into the teeth whitening business for the past year and have followed some of the Mall stores that have opened up in my aread and none of them seem to have made it more than 4-5 months. Does anybody know of any Mall-based or Spa-based teeth whitening businesses that have worked?
I am still interested in this business (due to its low entry costs), but I am still surprised that none of the stores have worked out so far.
Do anybody know it you have to have a certified whiten teeth in California
I am a dental assistant in Idaho with full expanded functions. I want to start a teeth whitening business and need to know if this can be performed without the supervision of a dentist. I would like to use Zoom as my whitening system. Any help would be appreciated.
I would recommend you call your dental board for this question.
Hello I am a dental assistant in the N.Y area. I am interstates in opening a teeth whitening buissness in my area. Do I need a license? I have a few companies in mind but I am open to suggestions would gladly appreciate any advice.
Hello, I currently have been in business for 4 years now successfully selling teeth whitening at a kiosk located in a mall. I have proof of income averaging 80,000 a year net income. If your interested, call or text me at 219 484 8049. And yes, I own one of the only profitable teeth whitening kiosks out there.
Hello -
I wanted to know if one needs a business license to offer teeth whitening?
Thank you.
What is the time intensity and overhead cost of running a Teeth Whitening Kiosk. Is the $80,000 your profit? On average, how many customer can you serve in a busy day. How many people help you? What is your initial cash outlay. What kind of contract do you have with the Mall. How is this all done.
I see a group of 5 young ladies in the mall near my home performing teeth whitening service. It takes about 30-45 minutes per client, per whitening. How can you serve enough customers per day alone to make a profit after expenses, rent etc.?

i'm doing an assignment for college and i need to know what qualifications you need and also the licensing for teeth whitening and i can't seem to find anything. also i need to know what Acts are used , e.g 1984 Dentist Act.
I did plenty of research before choosing to offer DaVinci in my business. The trainig was very detailed and I feel confident in offering this service. Have already whitened my teeth, a friend, and a client. All had great results on zero sensitiviy! Very excited to add this to my services! My salon is located in Frisco, TX and appointments can be made at andrea-gibson.com

DaVinci Teeth Whitening Offers Training and Certification for a reasonable cost. Give them a try, http://www.davinciteethwhiteningsystem.com/
Hi everybody,i am james,A dental whitening doctor,Teeth whitening is a promising project,i think,but Nice teeth whitening products that can help you develops business,so you can look spark dental store find you need product.
What the heck is a dental whitening doctor. Be careful about what you say...practicing medicine without a license is serious. Your grammar is poor for a "doctor".
"...so you can look spark dental store find you need product"
Says "James" who claims:
"...,i am james,A dental whitening doctor,"
Yeah right, doctor of WHAT?
Hello Everyone,
I am very much Interested in starting a teeth whitening business. First I wanted to ask what are the best Companies; from reading the post that seems to be DaVinci, but I would still like some suggestions. Also what are typical cost for start up etc. thank you guys for your responses ahead of time.
Do not be fooled by these Davinci posts. Their customer service is non existent. Kim at Davinci after 2 weeks would not return answers to questions because she didnt know
the answers and didnt have time to reseach. Keep looking I am!
I've been with the Davinci Teeth Whitening Company based out of Colorado for over 5 years and know several other estheticians in the industry that use Davinci. I have had nothing but good customer service. I switched to them from another company because I was having problems with my products. I'm very surprised to hear you had any problems:-( Perhaps it was just an oversight?
Stay away from the companies: Beaming White (read the ripoff report on this company first, before you call anyone, or any company) also stay away from Bleach Bright, Pearly White Pro, SmileLaBS, dms smile in CANADA, I spoke to all of them and they are all incompetent , they acted like they are the best and they talked down on people = I did not trust any of them. Their prices are out to lunch.
You can call Kim at Davinci - they are professionals, that is why Beaming White and Bleach Bright said bad things about them. Beauty by Savi is too new and their prices are out to lunch. I bought my products from Davinci, you will be happy you did. I am very happy with Kim/Davinci.
Just like you guys - i want to be successful.. and do not want to be scammed.. oh by the way, people in CANADA told me to stay away from Spa-Dent in Waterloo... i was never able to get them to answer the phone and they have their office address at a UPS Store - so i stopped calling them.
Just to share what i have done before I got products from Davinci, I was spending so much time finding the right supplier. I now make $4000.00/ea month working part-time and weekend.
FYI Spa Dent is sold in over 800 dental Offices in Canada and to the best of our knowledge the only product with a NPN License from the Government of Canada allowing us to market our product as a Natural health Product. We do have an address on Northfield drive which is a mailing address our offices are also located in Waterloo. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
You have to love the annomous poster who rips on all the other whitening companies but just loves Kim at Davinci.
I would bet that either Kim or one of her relatives posted this commical review
The Davinci product and customer service speaks for itself. Anyone can say anything, but actions speak louder than words. I personally am happy with my service from Davinci.
Please any and all advice or suggestions ....I am in California...What should I do it not do,starting this biz.Also who has the best products on the west coast.Thank you so much for any and all information!
I am a distributor for the most amazing and effective product in the teeth whitening industry. I would love to share more information about my company, our product and a ton of advice on marketing and getting your business off the ground so that you can immediately become a profit center. :) That is the name of the game, raving fans is the way to get their, with the cosmetic whitening product we offer, our clients become walking billboards.
I am available to help you just give me a call. 888-786-4441
Make it a great day.

I'm an Estheticican and I'm wanting to start my own Salon in my home in Canada. There are a ton of Teeth Whitening systems out there but I'm not sure which one to go with. Has anyone used BleachBright? Any information will help!!
I have a teeth whitening business in Canada, and I have found that the BleachBright "light" and the Beaming White advanced whitening kits give the best results. I don't own shares in any of those companies, nor do I know anyone personally that works for them. I just found that that combination gives the best results. Good Luck!
I to am an Esthetician and I started with a company 4 years ago, switched to another about a year later, I have sampled several products and honestly....the best I have found is DaVinci Teeth Whitening System. A friend of mine is a dental assistant and they use the Davinci product and she referred me to them. The number is 877-932-8462 and they have great customer service as well. Me and my clients have been happy since switching over a year ago. The product is a natural whitening gel and yeilds amazing results. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.
The DaVinci product causes sensitivity issues so your teeth will ache for days and that is even for people without sensitive teeth. I don't recommend having your teeth whitened by any company using DaVinci at all. I think it's people who work at DaVinci who are posting all the positive reviews.
Dear Julie,
My name is Liliana Cova, I want to start a small business with teeth whitening, and read you posted about Da Vinci, I am doing a research about with is the best, and I want to ask you in your opinion Da Vinci is the best?. I will appreciate if you can answer my question.
I look for hearing from you soon.
davinci Teeth Whitening is a complete fraud. The product is ineffective for most customers. DaVinci trains their employees to lie to their customers about "you went from this number of shade to this number of shade. After paying close attention, no change is brightness. Also the procedure in my opinion was, very evasive. My gums were hurting for three days. I explained about the pain. They replied "everyone is "different". The procedure calls for some damn "vitamin e gel". This stuff doesn't work a crap. Be careful
Davinci sells their products to hundreds of Dentists and Spas. You can't base the whole company and product off of a bad experience you had with someone offering their products/service. That's like saying that XYZ Hair Coloring is bad because your stylist didn't do a good job on your highlights.
I purchased teeth my own personal teeth whitening business from www.beautybysavi.com. They were really nice and thorough. I've already booked 5 paying clients and charged $150 per client. It's a really good deal. They also sent me a few extra kits so I could whiten my own teeth so my teeth are really white and I can show my clients the before and after results. Also some of the extra kits they sent me I used for practice on my mother and father, which I just charged them $100 each. Man, I feel so excited about this new business. I practically made my money back within a few days. Geeze, I'm about to get my family involved in the business. Man I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to start a teeth whitening business. Did you have to get any training?
I just started looking into this as I have seen first hand how much money it can make, I just need to know who is the best supplier and are all the lamps pretty much the same?
I run Smile LABS of Omaha and I would be willing to talk to you if you had any inquiries. Omahasmilelabs.com is my website and contact info is there.
I have some questions about Smile Labs, since you have been in business with them for a while.
I will contact you on your website as well.
I would like to open up a business in Rural Southwest Nebraska.
Thank you.
Please send your phone numbers I would like to ask you couple of questions about smile labs
If you don't mind
I own 5 BleachBright LED teeth whitning lights in Indiana and the business opportunity has been great for me. I was in the auto industry for 20 years, but my job was cut in 2008 when GM was restructuring. I took a gamble and used my severnce pay to go into business for myself.
I do event days and consign my lights with salons, spas, gyms, tanning salons, etc. We share the profits, but it ends up working out well because I have no overhead besides the product. The salon has no investment, makes money and brings in new faces, so they're happy as well.
I'm not a millionaire, but I can say that my life has improved because I'm making enough to live the same lifestyle I was living while at GM, but I have a significant amount more free time. I pay my bills, fund my retirment, and have 2 kids in college. Don't get me wrong, it takes some work to get going, but once you get going, it's pretty easy to maintin.
If you're intrested in getting into the business (and are not in my area od course) contact me. I can get you the same prices as directly through the company, but I'll be willing to help you out.
Interested in business
hi rich, please give me a call
Hi. I was inspired by the story you shared in the forum. I'm interested to try a small business similar to what you have. Can you give me an idea how much is the initial starting capital for those lights and the supplies needed to do the treatments? Do I need to hire a dentist or I can do it myself, by the way I'm an RN here in California. Thanks and more power.
Thought I would share with you.....I used to be with Bleachbright but I was not happy with the results that the product yields. I recommend calling the company that I am with now. I switched over the davinci teeth whitening system. The product is amazing and the people there are really nice. I could never get anyone at Bleachbright to respond to my requests.
Being successful in the teeth whitening business is all about the product and the training. If you do not have product that yeilds great results you will fail. I have several locations including mall locations and they all are doing good. The key is good cleint referalls. If you want the best product and a company that you can be successful with call DaVinci Teeth Whitening Systems. The phone number that I have for them is 877-932-8462. They have been wonderful to work with and all of my clients are happy. My dentist is actually now using their product.
I am opening a teethwhitening Centre soon, I am a little nervous to how people will react when they know I am not a dentist even though I have been fully trained. If this was not safe (for those who feel the need to protest) then you could not buy home kits which are self administered and usually high in peroxide and therefore bad for the teeth.
Can you give any tips on the way my business should be conducted in order for it to be a success?
Thanks, Lorraina

I've always wanted timeless silhouettes done of our children. We almost had them done in Disney last year, but we left the park before remembering to do them.
Well, I decided that I could do them myself by-golly….why not!?!?
And, after finding three ornate old frames last weekend at an estate sale, I was motivated to start this project.
Here are the beautiful, old frames I bought for a buck a piece !!
|Here is what my frames looked like
I began this project by painting each one of my frames. I used a $3.99 qt. of Benjamin Moore oops paint in just the right color blue I was envisioning for the frames (gotta love when you score like that!). I also glazed each frame with a watered-down black acrylic craft paint to highlight all of the ornate details.
|look at that detail! I love how they came out.
Next, I took side profiles of each one of my kiddos…
|it doesn't matter if your pictures are perfect ~ this one has so many dark shadows but it's okay
|little blurry but no worries….
I edited each photo using Adobe Photoshop elements. I used the magnetic lasso tool to trace around each profile, then cut and pasted their cut profiles in a new white layer so it looked like this….
I adjusted the size of their profiles to fit my 8.5″ x 11″ page and printed each one. I then traced each one with a light colored pencil on black card stock.
Then, I simply cut out each one of the silhouettes. This takes a steady hand, I had to do it a few times before it actually looked like my son because the first time I cut too much of his nose off! LOL.
I traced each frame opening on cardboard from boxes I had around the house, then cut each one out. I also cut an oval piece of batting and neutral colored fabric for each frame as well.
To attach the batting, I just sprayed with a spray adhesive and placed onto the cardboard.
Same for the fabric….
I hot glued the fabric to the back of the cardboard like this…
As I glued, I pulled the fabric gently to eliminate any wrinkling.
I didn't take a photo of the next step, but to attach the silhouettes to my fabric oval I just hot glued them around the edges, making sure to only use a tiny bit otherwise the hot glue will "pucker" your card stock.
I placed each silhouette into the frames, tacked into place and hung them on the wall.
I am very happy with how they came out and it's surprising how much they really do look like my kids.
This is a fun, inexpensive project that you will cherish for years to come!
