U.S. to Recognize Utah Gay Marriages Despite State Stance
The Obama administration on Friday said that it will recognize as lawful the marriages of 1,300 same-sex couples in Utah, even though the state government is refusing to do so.
Wading into the fast-moving legal battle over same-sex marriage rights in one of America's most socially conservative states, the administration posted a video on the Justice Department's website. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said that the federal government will grant federal marriage benefits to the same-sex couples who had rushed to obtain marriage licenses after a federal judge last month unexpectedly struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage.
"I am confirming today that, for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same-sex marriages," Mr. Holder said in the video. "These families should not be asked to endure uncertainty regarding their status as the litigation unfolds."

My feeling is one of cautious optimism. I think it's great that the U.S. government is going to step in and recognize these marriages, but I'm afraid how this will be viewed by those who advocate state sovereignty. That aside, I think our country is heading in the right direction in terms of recognizing the rights of homosexuals in general. When is Pennsylvania going to join the party?
Last night, I was watching documentaries on Netflix with my boyfriend Corey. One of them was called "Park Avenue: Money, Power, and the American Dream," which features clips of Ayn Rand speaking about her vision of Laissez Faire Capitalism. This brought me into research mode, wanting to find out a little more about the Ayn Rand Institute. I have loved Ayn Rand and "Atlas Shrugged" for years, but I never knew that ARI was a political powerhouse. On my quest, I came across an article George Saunders had written for the New Yorker called "I Was Ayn Rand's Lover."
I had known about Ayn Rand's affair with Nathaniel Branden from reading her many biographies, in particular "The Passion of Ayn Rand." It creeped me out quite a bit back then, but now to see that she prowled on more than one innocent young man left me with a sour taste. If you know Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism, you wouldn't be too surprised that Nathaniel Branden was a target on her radar. To hear Saunders recount his having essentially been "raped" by her was a little off-putting to say the least, but his developing jealousy over Ayn having set her eyes on a young Paul Ryan disturbed me. It wasn't his feelings of jealousy that disturbed me, rather her voracious appetite for bedding young men in late puberty is what was particularly disturbing.
So, we now know of three men in their late teens who were successfully pursued by Ayn Rand. There are probably plenty more, but my interest stops there. Seeing Paul Ryan run wild with Ayn's version of Laissez Faire Capitalism as it pertains to our present day economy was like being punched in the gut by Ayn Rand herself. All of her theories sound good as just that -- a theory, but when put into practice as Paul Ryan has done as a congressman, they are truly frightening. I don't know what plagues me more: the affairs with young boys, or being disillusioned by Paul Ryan's crazy plans for American prosperity.
To understand what I'm talking about, you'll have to do a little research. Most of it can be done by watching the "Park Avenue" documentary, reading "Atlas Shrugged," "The Passion of Ayn Rand" (also a film), and then reading George Saunder's New Yorker piece (which is very well-written, I might add). It amounts to a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, I'll bet, because that's what I'm feeling right now. It can all be summed up in one word: UGH!
Watch the entire "Park Avenue" documentary:
Barbara Branden (Nathaniel Branden's wife) on The Passion of Ayn Rand:
Award-Winning Journalist and Commentator Bill Moyers gets right to the heart of what the shutdown and debt ceiling threats are all about. He's right on, and it's very scary. Will the republicans really let us default? Is this the end of democracy? Should we all leave the country and emigrate to Canada? I'm seriously thinking about it, and thank God I'm a Democrat. Here's what Bill Moyers says in the "about" section of the video on YouTube, video to follow:
"This week's government shutdown has consequences for all of us, costing an estimated $300 million each day that the government is closed for business. Many Americans have voiced their frustrations with the fallout from the shutdown on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using the hash tag #DearCongress. Here, Bill Moyers shares his own frustrations, admonishing the Republican Party for holding the country hostage via an irrational "ransom list" of demands — while sabotaging democracy in the process. "When the President refused to buckle to this extortion, they threw their tantrum," Bill says. "Like the die-hards of the racist South a century and a half ago, who would destroy the union before giving up their slaves, so would these people burn down the place, sink the ship." He goes on to tell us where the "reckless ambition" of the Republicans could lead us."
A poll released by Public Policy Polling reveals a hilarious list of all the unpleasant things that people like more than the current Congress. People were directly asked: "What do you have a higher opinion of: Congress or cockroaches?" And so it went, for 25 questions.
A total of 830 people were surveyed, and said they liked a number of detested creatures and institutions more than the U.S. Congress. In the end, the Washington Times writes, "Congress is less popular than carnies, root canals and colonoscopies, but more popular than the ebola virus, meth labs and gonorrhea."
According to Public Policy Polling, here is a list of things people now like more than Congress:
I, personally, like a lot of detestable things more than congress, but, being a gentleman, I won't say what they are. ;) Pass this along to your friends, family, and coworkers. It's all fun and games when polling like this takes place, but there is a definite impending doom if the government can't agree on a budget. Please search the net for local petitions, write to your state reps, mayors, and local officials and tell them that you want this to end. Let your voice be heard!

Testing Motives for Charitable Giving: A Revealed-Preference Methodology with Experimental Evidence
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 18029
A large economics literature seeks to understand the reasons why individuals make charitable contributions. Fundamental features of most models of charitable giving are the inclusion of externalities induced by other agents and the Lancasterian characteristics approach to specifying utility functions. This paper develops a general, revealed-preference methodology for testing a variety of preference structures that allow for both externalities and characteristics. The tests are simple linear programs that are transparent, computationally efficient, and straightforward to implement. We show how the technique applies to standard models of privately provided public goods and novel models that account for social comparisons based on relative consumption and donations among individuals. We also conduct an original experiment that enables nonparametric tests of many models on a single data set. The results provide the first revealed-preference evidence on the importance of social comparisons when individuals make charitable contributions. Models that include preferences for either relative consumption or donations yield greater explanatory power than the standard model of impure altruism.

Juice feast day 5: feeling AMAZING!Posted: March 27, 2012 Filed under: Fat girl thoughts, Food, Health, Raw food, Vegan | Tags: detox, health, Juice, juice cleanse, juice fast, juicing 6 Comments
As I was just writing the subject for the post, I realized that I've completed five full days of juicing! Huzzah!
Now here's the crazy part…
For the past few days, the posts have talked about a bit of fatigue, crankiness, muscle aches, sore throat, headache, etc. My breath has stunk and my pee has stunk and the trips to the bathroom have been less than ideal. Detox symptoms. So if you've been reading along and wondering why anyone would "starve" themselves for days just to feel like crap… I'm happy to report that TODAY was the reason why.
I feel energized, uplifted, clean, light. My mental focus is extremely clear. I haven't had one single hunger pain or craving today at all. I even watched my roommate cook a veggie burger and it didn't phase me one small bit. I've had no headaches, no pains, no aches. I had a regular bathroom trip this morning. (Yes, there's still solids to come out after 5 days of juicing!) The white detox "fuzz" that comes out on the tongue during the first few days has lessened. I never wear deodorant, and the sweat from today's walk was significantly less toxic smelling than previous days. I had the energy to walk about 5 miles today too and didn't feel incredibly wiped or exhausted afterwards. I will even have enough energy to do yoga tonight which I haven't felt like doing in a few days. I'll probably do the "Crunch: Candlelight Yoga" from Netflix Watch Instantly. It's a very easy, relaxing 45 minute routine that just helps stretch out the kinks from the day, nothing too intense.
And these are the feelings that make the effort worth it.
Beyond the physical changes that I've experience over the past few days, a juice fast or other cleansing program can prove to be emotionally lifting as well. It's a reaffirmation to your will power and allows you to feel a great sense of accomplishment that you're doing something for yourself. It makes you feel like you can do anything. (And right now, I definitely feel like I could do anything that I set my mind to… and I'm only halfway through!) And more over, focusing on all of these good feelings and the reasons behind why I feel them will help me stay motivated after the fast is through. I've been literally flooding every inch of my body, every cell, with this insanely nourishing substance. The thought of taking away this nourishment makes me sad! The idea of refined oils or refined sugars or a huge meal just doesn't interest me right now. The detox symptoms proved that there was some icky stuff I was holding on to, which would only contribute to a sluggish, fatigued, unhappy existence. Moving forward, I'll be able to feel clean and ready to stay on track with healthy eating and that renewed energy will help me with my physical fitness goals too. It's so hard to move off the couch when you're being plagued with aches and pains and tiredness. Don't get me wrong, this sense of renewal and re-invigoration is something you have to work to maintain, and eventually everyone starts to slip on their diet and lifestyle. I know I'll do it. But that is why a "reset" or "reboot" is so necessary, at least for me. It helps start fresh and helps you get rid of cravings. A palette cleanser. A mind cleanser. And pretty soon you find yourself noticing that you honestly do not want those foods that contribute to that overall decrease in health, and you'll automatically have adapted this healthier diet. Over the past 3 years since I've begun my journey to wellness, I've had dozens of time where I considered the foods I was eating to be very unhealthy and I was "off the wagon." Juice fasting has proved to be the best way for me to get back on track, and I'm finding now that the periods of time when I'm "off the wagon" are growing fewer and far between as my body grows a distaste for the foods that harm and craves the nourishment of fresh organic whole foods. The juice fast also creates awareness about the amount of food our body really needs to maintain, and helps shrink our stomachs back to their intended size. In the long run, this helps with natural portion control too.
Today also marked the 7 pound down mark. (From 200 pounds to 193 pounds.)
Juice #1:
- 1 pear
- 1 orange
- 6 strawberries
- 15 asparagus stalks
- 1 cucumber
Clean, light, refreshing. Not too sweet.
Juice #2:
- 2 celery stalks
- 1/4 head cabbage
- 2 carrots
- 1 green pepper
- 5 brussel sprouts
- 2 bokchoy stalks
- large handful bean sprouts
- 1 apple
- 1/2 lemon
Mmm.. I loved the color and taste of this juice. As the days of juicing goes on, I'm definitely finding myself being more satiated by the heavy vegetable juices and less fruit juice.
Juice #3:
- large handful green beans
- approx 2 cups broccoli
- 2 bokchoy stalks
- 3 celery stalks
- 3 radishes
- 5 asparagus
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 carrots
- apple
- pear
- chunk of ginger
- 4 turmeric root nubs
This juice was insane. I can only describe the flavor as 'deep'. I guess maybe it was a bit earthy too. The turmeric root is definitely a nice way to add a different flavor into juicing. I also like adding a tomato or two because that adds a different bite. I do think that I liked the apple and pear in this to add a little contrast to the flavor overall, but instead, could maybe just do a couple extra carrots instead to nix the fruit. I bought so much fruit to finish out the fast and now I'm not even craving it! I'll probably end up cutting a bunch of it up and freezing it for smoothies instead and as the days go on, beginning to filter on over to more entirely vegetable juices.
In case you were wondering, I am definitely MISSING some things from my juicing regiment. I wish I could incorporate more kale, spinach, watercress, romaine, etc. However, my juicer is a cheap juicer (I don't even think it has a brand to be honest – ha!) and it does a good job for anything except leafy greens. For some reason it spits juice everywhere when it tries to process leafy greens. This is why you'll find me using broccoli, brussel sprouts, bok choy, and asparagus as my main sources of greens. With a better juicer, I would have at least a good handful or two of leafy greens in each juice, and would definitely recommend it as part of a juice cleanse.
Needed a new shot to use on my blog, etc – and just got a new apron at Target (my first real apron as an adult, on sale for $7 – score!) This was before I started prepping for the first juice of the day.
It was nice to see some sunshine and flowers on the trees even though the weather was a bit chillier today.
And then I found this pie, with the strangest set of leftovers I've seen in a while. It reminded me of the Cookie Monster's chocolate chip cookie. "C" is for… pie???
Black bean tofu scramble breakfast with 27 g protein, 18 g fiber, low-fat, low-sodiumPosted: March 14, 2012 Filed under: Dairy-free, Food, Health, Recipes, Vegan, vegetarian | Tags: Black bean, Breakfast, Fiber, Juice, Protein, Tofu 2 Comments
One of the biggest myths associated to any vegetarian or vegan diet is that people will grow frail and weak from lack of protein. You can't get protein from plants! Gah! This breakfast is a perfect way to show that you can get protein – lots of it – from a delicious, vegan breakfast. This one is extremely healthy too. I made 5 servings even though it's just me. Tofu scrambles actually freeze and reheat quite nicely. Just remove from freezer and defrost in the refrigerator over night and reheat over medium flame. If tofu scramble is dry on reheating, add a little vegetable broth to prevent burning or sticking to pan. This particular breakfast is great to fuel a busy day, as it is packed with fiber and very filling and will keep you sustained for a bit.
Serve the tofu scramble with a sprouted grain bagel, english muffin, or toast, and fresh fruit juice.
Oh, and this recipe is free of any refined oils too. Score!
Black bean tofu scramble
Serves 5
- 1 block extra firm tofu, drained well
- 15-oz can black beans
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 Tbsp Bragg's amino acids
- 5 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 5 cups spinach
- 1 yellow onion
- 1-2 Tbsp minced garlic, to taste
- Make sure tofu is very well drained and pressed so it crumbles easily without extra liquid.
- Add all ingredients except spinach, onion, and garlic to large sauce pan. Combine well.
- Allow tofu mixture to cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occassionally. (Depending on pan and how well your tofu is drained, add 1-2 Tbsp of vegetable broth IF NECESSARY to prevent sticking/burning)
- Caramelize onions and garlic in preheated skillet. (View steps on caramelizing onions without oil.)
- Add onions and garlic to tofu mixture.
- Fold in spinach, continuing to stir until spinach is cooked tender.
I served this tofu scramble with a sprouted wheat bagel, dry, (specifically the 365 Sprouted Wheat Berry Fiber Bagel) and a fresh juice with apple, pear, orange, celery, and fennel.

Sodium: 415
Potassium: 420 mg
Carbs: 28 g

Some numbers I watch:
Fat: <2.5 g/100 calories
Sodium: <1 mg/1 calorie (ex. 2000 calories per day, no more than 2000 mg sodium)
Protein: ~0.36 g/1 pound of body weight (ex. 175 pounds x .36 g = 68.4 g – increase this if you work out to 0.6 g/#)
Fiber: >25 g per day
Carbs: I honestly don't watch carbs. Carbs = energy. I just stay aware that if I'm consuming a lot of carb-heavy foods that I should be expending more energy.
Sugar: I don't watch sugar intake either. I rarely consume processed sugar and instead use sweeteners like maple syrup, raw agave and honey (yes, I know most people consider honey a non-vegan food, but I do consume it.) If I'm eating a lot of foods high in natural sugars, I up my water intake to help flush it through. Otherwise, my skin tends to break out.
A note on fiber: If you currently do not consume enough fiber, make sure to increase gradually, as a sudden increase in fiber can lead to constipation and gas. Make sure to drink plenty of water. Also consider digestive enzymes as you build up to the correct amount of fiber. The benefits of consuming enough fiber include weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar maintenance, as well as regulation of digestion and prevention of constipation. I consume probably 30 grams of fiber a day and am as regular as clockwork. Someone I know recently commented that they only use the bathroom once a week, and this completely blew my mind. How I could be comfortable without daily morning elimination is beyond me. It's a great feeling when your body is working the way its supposed to! This also prevents toxins from sitting in our intestines which can lead to health problems such as a weakened immune system. Many skin conditions, like eczema and acne, are related to an abundance of toxins as well. Drink plenty of water to help the fiber flush toxins out of your system regularly. Regular – yay!

There's really no end to the interesting things a person can see and do while traveling in London. It isn't just a big city but a very active one, and one so full of noteworthy activities one can grow exhausted just thinking of them. Even with all the permanent fixtures in town though – the old churches and palaces, the parks, the modern landmarks, the famous pubs – it can be the events of London that really stand out in tourists' memories.
For those who may be visiting the city soon, these are some of these very events that we would label must-sees in and around London for the coming year.
Hogwarts In The Snow
There are a lot of festive winter events in and around London in the early months of any given year, and most are worth attending. Aside from numerous New Year's Eve celebrations, there are things like Christmas at Kew and Hyde Park's spectacular winter wonderland to consider for your list. Hogwarts In The Snow may have them beat though, given the sheer wonder (and popularity) associated with the Harry Potter franchise by this point.
Taking place at the Warner Bros. Studio in London through late January, it's basically a chance to tour actual sets used for the Harry Potter films and transformed temporarily to reflect a snowy winter. Needless to say, there's magic in the experience.
Cheltenham Festival
Cheltenham is actually a short distance from London, west through the Cotswolds, but it's a reasonable trip for anyone staying in the big
However, it is also a holiday-like celebration spread over four days and involving creative fashion, festive drinking and dining, live performances, and gorgeous grounds – not to mention a St. Patrick's Day party on the third day! The Cheltenham Festival transcends sport and thrills countless visitors each and every year.
Spring Jousting Festival
This is another event that's outside of the city, and actually in the famous Cotswolds region. But as evidenced by its name, it's also another event that is very exciting to a great many people.
There are other medieval festivals and jousting displays throughout England in any given year, but this regular event does a wonderful job of capturing the sport of the medieval era. In addition to actual, live jousting between trained performers, there's fire archery, falconry, and a medieval setup that will take you back in time.
West End LIVE
West End LIVE happens every
People from active shows get up on stage in Trafalgar Square – one of the most vibrant and interesting public spaces in the city – to perform pieces of their plays and musicals for massive crowds. If you're in London during the summer, it's not to be missed.
Yankees vs. Red Sox
Typically some of the sporting events in London that would make a must-see list would include Premier League football or the FA Cup Final in the spring. They may also include The Boat Race or Wimbledon during the summer, or even the annual NFL exhibition at Wembley Stadium in the fall.
For 2019 though, it has to be noted that America's Major League Baseball is going to be putting on a two-day exhibition in London. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox – bitter rivals and terrific franchises – will face off at London Stadium for two days in late June in what will be the MLB's first regular season games in Europe. It ought to be quite a spectacle.
Notting Hill Carnival
Notting Hill Carnival is one of the more famous annual celebrations in the city, and with good reason. Mimicking to some degree the spirit of other "Carnival" celebrations around the world (most notably in Brazil and Italy), it's basically a big street party and parade, in this case through the lovely Notting Hill neighbourhood.
More specifically, it's an August celebration of the West Indies community in and influence on London, and brings some of the
London Halloween
London Halloween is not a specific event or a single party, but being in town during the holiday is essentially a party in and of itself. Various specific events are spread across town</a> to celebrate Halloween, but more to the point London simply has a way of evoking the Halloween spirit in an authentic, spooky, yet also fun and historical way.
From Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter, Sweeney Todd to Jack the Ripper, there are just a lot of associations that people have with London that tie into the Halloween season in one way or another, and the city does not disappoint when the holiday comes around.

Omaha Steak's New Products Are Perfect for Labor Day Appetizers or Quick Dinners! Review!
I found some perfect Labor Day party/bbq fare for you to share with others for Labor Day celebrations! Not only are these appetizers perfect for parties, they also make for quick "eats" for lunch, dinner or even sharing as a snack– even for the pickiest of eaters.
Omaha Steaks is not new to this blog. I happen to love Omaha Steaks and have bought products from them for well over 10 years. It's so nice to not have to run out to the market to pick up a great steak; instead I dig into my freezer and pull out a couple of premium steaks, pork chops or gourmet burgers for a meal- and if I have some of their stuffed baked potatoes, I grab those too!
Disclosure: Omaha Steaks sent me a piece items from their new Filet Mignon specialties to test drive: the sliders, the filet mignon flatbreads and the Filet Mignon Bites so that I could tell you how easy they are in prep and also to eat!
New "small plate" appetizers and snacks:
Crisp whole wheat flatbreads stacked with gourmet ingredients make a versatile and creative option for finger-food appetizers or part of a unique-(and fast) -casual meal. The premium Steak Lover's Flatbread is piled high with the finest flavors – starting with steak! Two gourmet cheeses – bleu and brie – lend a creamy depth that blends perfectly with the rich tangy tones of caramelized red onions. We could have stopped there, but as a final artisanal flair, Omaha Steaks added a gourmet balsamic glaze. Plays well with an assortment of appetizers for big game "home-gating" or served solo with wine for a gathering of friends. Simply bake, slice, and serve. There is also a Filet Mignon flatbread too but it's out of stock at this time. There are other flatbreads in pork and sausage should you wish to try those.
My flatbread right out of the oven!
The flatbreads cook up fast, so follow the directions on the package. It will make a big difference in texture. The flatbreads are tasty, crispy and they have tidbits or small chunks of filet or other prime beef on these flatbreads. You could add more cheese if you want- parmesan would be a good bet to add and maybe some other toppings that you like.
Tender, juicy Filet Mignon Bites will amaze your party guests – easily serve big savory flavor with these one-of-a-kind appetizers. Each individual bite has Omaha Steaks Filet Mignon, mushrooms, leeks, carrots, and a splash of red wine, set atop a perfectly buttery puff pastry. It's a pop of rich flavor unlike any other, and simpler to prepare and serve than almost anything. Share our legendary Filet Mignon!
These Filet Mignon Bites are one or two bite appetizers with a wonderfully flaky crust shaped into a cup that holds the bits of filet and the veggies in tasty sauce. These are so easy to eat and so tasty that people will return for 2 more because they like them so much. So buy more than you think you need. Kids might love these things because they are truly "kid -size".
Not your traditional spring roll! This unique gourmet version of a street-food favorite starts with real Omaha Steaks Filet Mignon with classic Montreal seasoning. The big, tender, juicy bites of steak are complemented by sauteed onions and pepperjack and cheddar cheeses and stuffed inside a crispy spring roll wrapper. It's what your favorite snack would taste like if it were made by a classically trained chef. Experience the fun of filet mignon!
I didn't get these but they look delish. These would be great for a meal, snacks or for parties- so don't skip this one!!
Burger lovers, meet your dream come true. We've combined Omaha Steaks original Filet Mignon Burger and one of the world's greatest finger foods: The 2 oz. slider. Our Filet Mignon Sliders are the ideal canvas for creative burger lovers. Unrivaled in tenderness and juicier than any slider you've ever tasted (you can thank the buttery Filet Mignon for that), these little meat masterpieces are delicious no matter how you dress them. Perfect for sharing and sampling. Plus, they make great kid-sized burgers… if, that is, you really want to spoil your little ones.
Be aware the the sliders are slider BURGER PATTIES and not the prepared sliders in the image.
It is up to you to provide buns, condiments and additions to rock your sliders like these sliders! They also require defrosting- so put them in your frig to thaw the night before. These tasty sliders can be on the grill in nothing flat and they cook quickly on indirect heat and then give them the grill marks just before they reach optimum temperature. I love sliders and burgers because I can customize to what I know my family and friends want. It makes for a very meaty little meal and two is a lot of meat. These aren't thin burgers! There is no skimping on the thickness of them- and they taste great!! It was double thumbs up at my house!
There are many other items in the Specialty Appetizer section that make for great meals– more flatbreads with sausage or pulled pork, more bite-size appetizers and lots more options that feature other ingredients other than filet mignon. Check out Omaha Steaks ASAP because these items will sell out fast!!
Thank you to Omaha Steaks for allowing me to test drive some of their new specialty appetizers for LA-Story.com.
Disclosure: It's important to get samples in order to authentically review them. It's hard to make up the flavors of things you never tasted. Getting those samples however is only 50% of the work and the other 50% is my transparent and genuine review. The samples in no way influence the content of my review or the content of this blog. It merely allows me to be authentic in what I do.

What is the Best Telescope to Buy?
There are several characteristics you'll want to pay attention to when buying a telescope, including:
Focal Length
- This helps determine a telescope's focal ratio and field of view which impact how far you will be able to see.
- The aperture determines the quality and amount of light your telescope or optical tube assembly (OTA) will capture.
Telescope style
- Reflecting telescopes are reliable and versatile with their use of mirrors to capture light.
- Refracting telescopes use lenses and come in popular styles such as achromatic and apochromatic.
- Catadioptric telescopes combine lenses and mirrors into one cohesive optical tube assembly.
These factors make each telescope unique, providing a different viewing experience.

Paul persevered, pressing on,
hurried to Jerusalem,
for he wanted to arrive
by Pentecost to see them.
Regardless of the warnings
of the hardships yet to come,
Paul considered his life not,
for the Lord's will must be done.
He knew this was the last time,
he'd see this group on earth.
Declared his dedication,
and affirmed their matchless worth.
He warned them to keep a watch,
over selves and those who'd come.
Be shepherds of the body,
faithful servants of the Son.
The savage wolves will rise up,
and shall attempt to destroy.
Keep an ever-present watch,
may His strength and shield deploy.
I commit you to the Lord,
and the bounty of His grace.
Be built up and be ready,
be the victor in this race.
(Responding to Acts 20:13-32)
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for such solid examples of single-mindedness. Forgive us for getting caught up by the distractions of our days, and help us to fix our focus upon what really matters. May our hearts and minds be centered on You in all things and at all times. Teach us to turn to You in everything, and to see Your significance, even in the seemingly simple things that we do. Lead us to keep watch over our hearts and minds, over our families and friends; may we press in and persevere as we present our petitions for protection before You. Keep the enemy far from us, and our hearts soft and open to Your leading. Use us Lord, to lead the lost into Your loving arms. Amen.

Swine Flew (oz11242)
About this Plan
Swine Flew (Swine Flu). Radio control sport model. Twin engined, twin-boom design.
Quote: "Yes, that's right, this plane is named 'The Swine Flew.' If you'll look at the fuselage or engine pod side view and stretch your imagination, you'll note its resemblance to that of a pig's body; in fact, the profile's similarity to that barn-yard critter was so great that I initially called my design the 'Flying Pig.' How did the Flying Pig get renamed the Swine Flew? Well, there's an obvious and simple answer to that question.
Once I had the little critter built, I couldn't wait for a calm day for a test flight. Off to the ball park we went, Dan Lockhart, my witty friend (even a bit corny at times, myself, and the Flying Pig. The wind was blowing between 25 and 30 mph, not the best conditions for a test flight, but I was all revved up to fly, and not about to be grounded by a little wind. There comes a time, at least for me, when curiosity, enthusiam, and anticipalion overcome good judgment. This was one such time.
We decided to test-fly on front engine only, a TD .051 with a 5 x 3 Cox gray prop. The rear prop was removed to re-duce drag. With the front engine scream-ing like a TD should, Dan launched 'piggy wiggy' into the wind. As soon as she left his hand, we both knew we had a winner. The little pig poked its nose into the blasting wind and climbed out. Aileron trim felt good. Down-trim was added to help penetrate the wind. I remembered by old single-channel days of rudder-only escapement flying, when down-trim didn't exist. I was sure glad to have it today. A ground-gaining battle against nature was in progress. Actually, it was too windy to be flying, but she was up there in the air, and I was on the ground praying she'd run out of gas. It seemed like an eternity before the little TD drank up that one-ounce tank. She was about one hundred feet downwind and two hundred feet up when the engine quit, I decided not to make a go-round, but to maintain heading for a while, then have her dive to gain airspeed, get below the surrounding trees and power lines, pull out, and land HOT. The plan worked. Dan and I walked over to the plane. We both drew a deep breath, and he exclaimed: The Swine Flew! What more can I say?
If flying a safe, fast Half-A twin is your bag, the Swine Flew is for you. Here's how to get one together fast.
CONSTRUCTION: ENGINE POD. Build this push/ pull module first, and I'll guarantee you'll be revved up enough to finish the rest in short order. Fabricate the bulkheads and sides as shown on the plans. Score outside of pod sides along B2 and B3 to make bends to firewall easier..."

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.

TSP Classics - #TSP010 - Joseph Gilgun
It's mental health awareness week this week so we thought we'd revisit our first Two Shot Podcast chat with Joe Gilgun from September 2017. We get a lot of messages from people who struggle with the insides of their heads and sooooo many of them cite Joe's episodes as a massive help. If you listened to Joe chat with us on episode 78 you'll know he struggles with his mental health, but the way he talks about his experiences seems to resonate completely with so many people. He has an incredible knack of clarifying his thoughts and making the most profound insights whilst simultaneously making you howl with laughter. Anyway, just thought we'd take the opportunity to share this with anyone who hasn't had chance to listen yet or give you a chance to listen back to this brilliant episode. (original text)
Alright. How's it going? Thanks loads for downloading and listening.
Here we at our tenth episode. La Decima! We've got something special for you this week...
it's a Two Shot Podcast chat with the one and only Joseph Gilgun. You might know him as Woody from Shane Meadow's This is England, As Rudy Wade in Misfits alongside our host Craig, as Eli Dingle in ITV's Emmerdale, or morer recently as Cassidy in AMC's Preacher. Joe is a special character. A rakish raconteur with a passion for making people piss their pants laughing. He wears his feelings on his sleeve and his disarming honesty and endearing vulnerability really make this an unmissable episode. We talk about drama school, dyslexia, family, anxieties and growing up in a Lancashire town. It's a wonderfully frank hour or so and if there's not at least one moment that doesn't make you laugh out loud then we'll give you your money back. Enjoy. It's Two Shot Pod number ten with Joseph Gilgun.
If you want a TSP badge then have a listen here and see how you can get one.

Remember Zaxxon? The first forced perspective coin-op, which was praised more for its fancy graphics rather than the uninspiring gameplay. Well forget all that, as this 3D version (utilising the also rather uninspiring 3D glasses) takes a behind-the-ship viewpoint with the enemy screaming towards you at a great speed of knots. The problem with this is that some things are obscured by your ship, leaving you eating laser death and not knowing why!
This, matched with the not-too-amazing graphics and sound, and the rather dud gameplay, make this a game to leave well alone, even if you're the most avid Zaxxon nut going.

Orphaned in the cholera epidemic of 1833, Adria Starr was cared for by a slave named Louis, a man who stayed in Springfield, Kentucky, when anyone with means had fled. A man who passed up the opportunity to escape his bondage and instead tended to the sick and buried the dead. A man who, twelve years later, is being sold by his owners despite his heroic actions. Now nineteen, Adria has never forgotten what Louis did for her. She's determined to find a way to buy Louis's freedom. But in 1840s Kentucky, she'll face an uphill battle. Based partly on a true story, Ann H. Gabhart's latest historical novel is a tour de force. The vividly rendered town of Springfield and its citizens immerse readers in a story of courage, betrayal, and honor that will stick with them long after they turn the last page.

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called the U.S. Senate's decision to recignize the Armenian Genocide a "political show."
The Senate passed the resolution on Thursday, December 12.
Sen. Bob Menendez passed the resolution, which provides 'official recognition and remembrance' of the Armenian Genocide, by consent.
'We have just passed the Armenian genocide resolution ... and it is fitting and appropriate that the Senate stands on the right side of history in doing so. It commemorates the truth of the Armenian genocide,' Menendez said from the Senate floor.
After the vote, Turkey presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Ankara strongly condemned and rejected the measure. The resolution is nonbinding, Reuters reports.
"History will note these resolutions as irresponsible and irrational actions by some members of the US Congress against Turkey," Fahrettin Altun, Turkey's communications director, said on Twitter in response.
The move comes after three GOP senators previously blocked passage of the resolution amid pressure from the White House, which argued that it would undercut negotiations between Washington and Ankara, which vehemently opposes recognizing the killing of 1.5 million Armenians as genocide.

Stars: they're just like us, according to Jenna Dewan Tatum.
Dewan Tatum appears on the cover of the July/August issue of Women's Health. The Supergirl star and Lip Sync Battle favorite explains how she and husband Channing are pretty much just like everyone else. She says her Instagram feed is a "highlight reel," and claims that "ten percent of the time, Chan and I have a lot of fun. Ninety percent, we're really boring."
That fun part apparently includes parties at Adam Levine's house and shuttling between their homes in Ojai and Los Angeles. But there's always time for Netflix and chill as well as channeling their inner Frozen characters.
Dewan Tatum also discusses how she copes with the stress of parenting: "I realized that if you try to be the perfect mom, perfect wife, perfect actress, you start to feel overwhelmed."… "You shut down. I got that really fast…I was running back and forth from breast-feeding to filming a scene, overextending myself on every level. I realized I have to make priorities, and my family is number one no matter what."
As for being married to Channing Tatum, she fully acknowledges the fact that fans constantly lust after him. She jokes, "I think he's the sexiest thing in the world, so of course I get why other people think it. It's always fun and we laugh about it."

Ark City man arrested in connection with vehicle burglaries
Brown accused of four counts of burglary, as well as drugs, criminal trespass
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (Feb. 15, 2019) — The Arkansas City Police Department arrested an Arkansas City man Jan. 16 in connection with multiple vehicle burglaries that occurred in January.
Trevor Scott Brown, 23, was arrested on suspicion of four felony counts of burglary of a motor vehicle, as well as one felony count each of possession of methamphetamine and no drug tax stamp.
He also was arrested on suspicion of seven misdemeanor counts of possession of stolen property, plus one misdemeanor count each of criminal trespass, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
Brown was transported to and booked into the Cowley County Jail in Winfield in lieu of $22,250 bond through Cowley County District Court in Arkansas City. He remained in custody at the time of this release.
Officers investigating a rash of vehicle burglaries identified Brown as a possible suspect on Jan. 16.
A search warrant was obtained and executed at his residence in the 400 block of North Second Street. Several stolen items were located inside the residence, as well as marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Brown was located in the home with meth and paraphernalia in his pocket.
Through investigation, police were able to recover several stolen items and return them to owners.
A defendant's guilt or innocence is to be determined by a court of law.

The FBI is working with the U.S. Postal Service to determine whether Empire actor Jussie Smollett sent himself a threatening letter in the days before the "hate crime" he is now under investigation for allegedly staging, two federal officials told ABC News Tuesday.
The two Nigerian brothers who told Chicago Police last week that Smollett paid them to stage a racially motivated attack on him have also told the authorities that Smollett sent himself the threatening letter that arrived on the Empire set on January 22, just seven days before they claim they conducted the hoax attack.
The brothers, one of whom worked as an extra on Empire, reportedly claimed that Smollett was motivated to stage the attack after his coworkers' reaction to the letter did not live up to his expectations.
The letter, which was accompanied by crushed up aspirin, is now being analyzed at an FBI crime lab.
Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo agreed to cooperate with police last week after they were presented with evidence that they purchased the rope that Smollett claimed was placed around his neck by two attackers who yelled racist and homophobic slurs before shouting "this is MAGA country" as they fled.
Smollett's attorneys maintain that he was attacked and have denied that he was complicit in staging the assault.
"As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with," Smollett's attorneys said in a statement Saturday. "He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying."

We never really see our own success
Posted in Performance
You probably don't realise you are already successful. If you asked 10 people that didn't know you and your situation to interview you they would end up saying that you have built some great success.
So are we really chasing success or the feeling of success? We think that "x" or "y" will give us that feeling. And it does. But not for long. The feeling dissipates and we start talking ourselves out of it. It was a fast day or there weren't many competitors.
Don't chase the feeling of success. Chase the feeling of chasing success. It's much more ongoing and feels good every time you lay down at night.

Misery Moo
Jeanne Willis & Tony Ross
Andersen, 2006 (2003)
Hardcover, Softcover
Read an Excerpt
Reviewed by Hilary Williamson
n this story by Jeanne Willis, a little lamb tries repeatedly to cheer up a depressed old cow, named
Misery Moo
(I love Tony Ross's cover illustration that shows the sad cow with her personal small, dark raincloud on a sunny day - all the subsequent illustrations also inject humor into the tale).
ow and lamb are the classic
glass half empty
glass half full
pair. And that little lamb works so hard for so long to cheer up his miserable friend. Can you guess what happens? Both misery and good cheer are contagious and they reverse roles! But only for a little while, as both learn that friendship can make you happy even when it's raining.
isery Moo
tells a story of how friends can be sad, but can also help each other to appreciate the sunshine and to see the joy in life.

Leicester Riders travel to the Glasgow Rocks this weekend to continue BBL Cup North Group action.
Riders looking to bounce back
The Riders made a bright start to the season defeating the Sharks, Phoenix and Giants in their opening 3 games of the BBL Cup however over the past 2 weekends the Riders have struggled falling to the Eagles and Phoenix before losing to Sheffield in the Semi Final of the BBL All-Stars.
The season is still young and there is no doubt that this years new look Riders Squad are still finding their feet and improving their understanding of one another. Despite this you'd expect a reaction from Coach Paternostro's men this Sunday in Glasgow as they look to re-find their form from the opening weeks of the season.
Namon Wright continues to be consistent
Namon Wright has arguably been the Riders most consistent player so far this season. Namon currently leads the team in scoring averaging 15.4 points per game on an impressive 45% from the floor and 42.3% from the 3 point line.
The most impressive stat from Wright's first few games as a professional is that he has scored 15 points or more in each of his 5 outings for the Riders including a season high 17 points against Newcastle last weekend. The LA Native is definitely one to watch as the Riders look to get back to winning ways this weekend on the road in Glasgow.
When Opportunity Knocks
With injuries to Josh Ward-Hibbert and Kyron Cartwright last weekend there is no doubt that Head Coach Rob Paternostro will be calling on other members of his roster to step up in their absence. Young Brit Alex Roberts was called upon against Cheshire last weekend and contributed well scoring 4 points in just 6 minutes on court, Alex may well be called upon this weekend to take charge of some of the ball handling duties for the Riders.
Italian American Guard Joe Scott is likely to also see some more court time on Sunday, Scott has struggled to shoot the ball early in his Riders career however he did score 3 straight 3s in the BBL All-Star Championship on Sunday showing he can provide the hot hand when called upon.
Point Guard Rema Lascelles is likely to start for the Riders this weekend providing a much needed calmness when leading the team which could be critical to the Riders success against the Rocks.
The Riders return to action at the Morningside Arena on Saturday October 26th when they face the Manchester Giants in the BBL Cup, CLICK HERE to buy your tickets!

The album that grows
About the album
This project is about pushing myself to my limits and finding my musical essence while doing so. That's why almost everything you'll hear on Growth was written, played, sang and produced by me.
(Personal) growth plays an important role in my life. Hence the title of the album. I decided to really commit to this theme by letting the album grow with me. Whenever I finish recording a new song I will add it to the album. As long as I feel this project helps me grow I will make the album grow.
With the purchase of the album come free lifelong updates for all future tracks I will release on it. The price: whatever you want to give for it.
Why pay what you want?
I want my music to be as free as possible. I believe it's more rewarding for me and for my audience to support on a voluntary basis. I don't want (a lack of) money to prevent anyone from listening to my music.
If you can't spare the money: just download it for free. I'd rather you listen to my music than not 🙂
If you do have some money to spare you can help me make this project into a sustainable one. By paying a little more you're covering for people who can't.
In both cases: thank you for listening to my music!
Physical album
I also released my album on usb-stick (as seen dangling from the album art on this page). This is not for sale online. I only sell them in person after gigs.
If you'd like to make donation in exchange for downloading my album you can use the donation button below (paypal & creditcard) or make a direct wire transfer to:
NL49 INGB 0703 1274 03, B E Smeenk. Please mention "Growth album donation".

Are you torn apart between making the most of the sun and educating yourself? Well, we have found the solution to all these problems! After releasing a guide about open-air film festivals 2017 in Paris, here is our selection of the exhibitions to see while strolling around the city:
From July 8 to September 3, 2017, the Louvre takes part in the Paris-Plages operation and sets up an exhibition of work reproductions from the Pont Neuf to the Tunnel des Tuileries. This exhibition goes alongside the "parcours mouvementé" in all outdoor areas of the Louvre: courtyards, gardens, pyramid, you will explore the Louvre architecture in a more or less sporting way (suitable clothes recommended).
With only a few weeks to go before the verdict for 2024, the Mairie de Paris offers us to rediscover the first modern Olympics organized in Paris through a photo exhibition called "1924, Paris accueille l'univers Olympique". This free exhibition is to be visited at the Hôtel de Ville from June 28 to September 13, 2017.
The MUR XIII is one of the most emblematic artistic venues in Paris 13th arrondissement known for its interest in street art. Located a stone's throw from the BNF, artists follow one another to take over the large board of the MUR. It is now Criseo's time to decorate the board... And it is a success!
The Luxembourg Gardens gates showcase a great picture exhibition called "Jardins extraordinaires" highlighting some of the 420 gardens featuring the "Jardin remarquable" (Remarkable Gardens) label given by the Culture and Communication Ministry. The exhibition will run from March 18 to July 16, 2017.

Fall Attire
I saw this tutorial on the internet and decided the girls needed to have a turkey shirt for the Fall. Mom has stopped a lot of her sewing and gave me lots of fabric that she accumulated over the years, many of it seasonal in nature since she was always so great about including homemade gifts each holiday season for the entire family. Really. Now I appreciate how much time and effort went into her gifts!
I looked through the fabric pieces and pulled together the perfect selection and set about making the girls turkey shirts. I definitely am still a beginner in the stitching department, but the shirts look really good if you don't look too closely. Both girls love wearing their turkey shirts and love to tell everyone that I made them. Seeing my girls so smiley in their turkey shirts makes this Mommy's heart happy!

10 Octubre 2019, USD/JPY
USDJPY trading plan:
The course of trading will be determined by the dynamics of stock markets. Investors are closely watching trade talks between the United States and China taking place in Washington this week. Without significant progress, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to hike the tariff rate on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods to 30% from 25% next Tuesday. The United States is proposing a currency Pact with China. If there will be such an agreement, the yuan could rise to 6.9 to the dollar. This event will have a positive impact on the stock markets and the currency pair USDJPY.
Trading recommendation: Buy 107.30 and take profit 107.71.

"Its like a museum," boasts Rocco, the heavily tattooed and pierced, one-named pawn broker as he gestures around the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (713 S. Las Vegas Blvd) in Las Vegas. "But it's better than any museum, because here you can take all the exhibits home with you!"
All around me, the heads of onlookers nod approvingly at his words. To them, this is no ordinary pawn shop, but the realm of Chumlee, the charismatic broker who gilds junk with fairy dust many nights a week on the History Channel's hit show "Pawn Stars". And though Chumlee himself is nowhere to be seen, nobody around me seems to mind, happy to gawk at the assorted gold watches, collector's edition comic books, memorial poker chips, and other ephemera that crowd the shelves of the very crowded shop.
"We used to get about 50 people a day wandering through," says Rocco. "Now we get about 2000! Sure, not all of them buy, or they just pick up a 'Chumlee for President' t-shirt. But if one in two hundred goes for a watch or one of our fine works of art, we're doing better than we used to."
Looking around, I don't see anything that I think qualifies as "art" but what do I know? Nobody blinks an eye when Rocco points to an etching on the wall and declares it an "original Rembrandt", or brags that they have "five original Salvador Dali works in shop right now." It seems boorish to quibble, when just being here is such a buzzy experience…and getting inside took a good 40-minute wait in line.
World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is just one of the new breed of reality-spawned tourist attractions that's delighting tourists across North America.
Near to my office in Hoboken there's now a line in front of what I always thought of as the bakery with the driest, most tasteless cookies in New Jersey, Carlo's Bake Shop (95 Washington St.) But because TLC's "Cake Boss" features the loud-mouthed owner of the shop, those lousy sweets are flying off the shelves. (Tip: to avoid the line, borrow a local's Hoboken driver's license; locals get cutsies here.)
Mood (225 West 37th Street), the New York City fabric store featured on Project Runway, has put Gotham's blighted, ugly Garment District on the map. Its aisles are filled daily with people who've never lifted a needle.
And in Los Angeles, a staffer at High Voltage Tattoo (North La Brea Avenue) told the Los Angeles Times that 90% of its customers are fans of their show LA Ink. Many more just come in to watch clients get their tats. Dash (4774 Park Granada, Calabasas) the boutique run by the Kardashian sisters and mom, now also has its place on Southern California's tourist trail.
Apparently, even venturing into a swamp isn't too extreme if it might mean catching a glimpse of a reality star. The website Louisiana Destinations (http://www.louisiana-destinations.com/swamp-people.htm) gives advice on where to spy the characters from the History Channel's popular series "Swamp People", a show about gator hunters.
Do people get what they want out of the experience? "I came to Las Vegas for a convention, so I didn't make a special trip to visit the pawn store," Kim from Milwaukee, told me when I buttonholed her at World Famous Gold and Silver. "But I figured, while I was in town, why not come down and see what its like? I was hoping to see some of the characters, but its just interesting to see what this place looks like in person. And what the heck, it was free!"
For now.

Well, it's happened again to me. Not to be thwarted in my efforts to offer you quality custom graphite fly rods made in America on American made blanks, I've found another source for rod blanks that meets my requirements. Best of all, while these are very nice casting, well made rod blanks - they're slightly less in price than my previous blanks. So, I'm passing the savings on to you!!!
Custom graphite fly rods in the Classical Series are now $350.
Graphite fly rods in the Custom Series are now $460.
That's about $100 less than before. These prices include both 2 & 4 piece rods. I have made rods on these blanks before & I know the actions & quality of them well. The blanks are made in the U.S.A. & are of really good quality. I've worked hard to find these values & I'm proud to offer them to you. In full disclosure you should know that when I make a graphite fly rod, I don't make any money on the blank or components of the rod. Ultimately, you pay what I pay for those items in the full price of the rod. I do this so my prices will have a wide range to meet the different desires of my clients. Some folks want more things on a rod & that, of course, makes it cost more. So to be fair, I don't make any profit on components.
Please also be ware that I can & do build on any manufacturer's blank. I do this because some folks have a loyalty to a particular brand, yet want a custom rod with different features than the manufacturer puts on their rods. I also do it to give me the flexibility I need to work with charities, groups, or customers who are on a tight budget or have special circumstances. I think that just as you might hire a carpenter to make you custom cabinets in your kitchen, you should be able to have a rod maker make a fly rod how you want it & at a price you can afford.
As always, if you have any questions just email me. I'm always more than happy to work with you.

Movie Reviews of films that will be playing at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) in 2017. Go to TIFF 2017 Movie Reviews and read reviews of films showing at the festival.
Lee Hall (screenplay), Shrabani Basu (based on the book by)
Judi Dench, Olivia Williams, Michael Gambon
VICTORIA AND ABDUL chronicles with humour and insight the friendship between Queen Victoria (Oscar Winner Judi Dench) and a decades-younger Indian clerk named Abdul Karim. Karim has been summoned because of his height to present a ceremonial coin on behalf of British India to the Queen as a part of her Golden Jubilee in 1887. Abdul has done what is forbidden during the ceremony.
He makes eye contact with the Queen who finds him handsome. In no time he is cooking her curries, talking to her about his culture, and being elevated to the post of official clerk, or Munshi, becoming an indispensable part of the household — and state.
Frears' assessment of Britain and royalty remain respectful. Queen Victoria is revealed in the film with all her grandeur (her royal attire and servants) but also with all her faults and her ageing process. She also claims herself to be and shown as well as cankerous, ill-tempered, fat but also one that has held five generations of household and mother of many children and grandchildren.
VICTORIA AND ABDUL is Frears' mediocre film which is tolerant of everything and offends no one. These kind of films are often humorous, handsomely mounted, well acted but unfortunately forgetful.

10 Things to Remember When Starting a Business – usacraigslist
10 Things to Remember When Starting a Business – usacraigslist. Someday i am hoping to get a hazard to tour around the us of a a piece and meet greater of you in character. If we were speaking over espresso, or a pint, and you instructed me you were going to begin a enterprise, these are ten of the top things that i might share with you. some of these portions of advice may want to have saved me months, or maybe years of my lifestyles. all of them I desire i might have found out when i was younger.
1. Test your concept as quick as feasible. Is there a call for for your services or products? Are humans soliciting for it? find out before you spend six months running on it. in case you need to start a commercial enterprise making outdoor furnishings, make a desk and placed it up on Craigslist and see what the demand is like. higher but, get a image of the desk off the internet and advertise and spot if all people responds. Have them contact you via e mail, no longer telephone. this may come up with time to construct the table if you find a purchaser.
A touch over a year in the past I had the concept to begin coaching human beings more in-intensity approximately what I do. i finished up speaking with Penelope Trunk for 5 mins and he or she talked me into presenting consulting. so that day I put up a bit web page on this website presenting consulting. That brought about me consulting for dozens of people all around the u . s . a . over the course of the subsequent year. I right away noticed the call for. as soon as I knew that the demand existed, and enhancing on the entirety that I have been teaching within the consultations, I constructed ApplianceSchool, that's now Tradeskills.io
Don't construct it and anticipate them to come back. Make darn positive they may come before you spend an considerable amount of time and money building it.
2. Take feedback severely, specifically from customers. in case you aren't inquisitive about getting feedback from people who you are trying to assist, then you definitely are simply developing a business for your self and it's going to most probable fail. customers are willing to give remarks in case you are willing to invite for it. sometimes you don't even ought to ask for it, you just should concentrate. when I first started out selling appliances, I took word of what humans could whinge approximately once they would first see an equipment. They didn't like scratches, or rust or getting a machine that wasn't very well cleaned. They desired the strength cords swapped out for them on dryers and the home equipment established. There have been many different things matters that I learned had been important. separately I addressed each of these problems and now very hardly ever pay attention anything but a way to please human beings are with the complete transaction.
3. think in a different way. The best way to create a business with a purpose to prevail is to do things in another way and higher than other humans. come up with new problems that others round you aren't already addressing.
Allow's take used products for example. There are already a number of human beings promoting used products, but that doesn't imply you may't do things in that space in a different way. are you able to figure out a way to keep human beings money or time? Can you are making the system of purchasing the ones items less complicated? can you figure out a way to make the experience a extra best one? are you able to discern out a manner to make shipping value-powerful? come up with better approaches of doing things, and the pleasant way to do this is through no longer thinking about what anyone else is doing.
4. deliver your self a chance to be triumphant. I suppose most people that give up speedy do so due to the fact they start out with out an conceivable goal in website. Then the hurdles come, they lose sight of the aim, the hurdle turns into an impassible monster in their eyes and they quickly surrender. perhaps the intention is to promote one product, or get one new paying patron or sell one app.
Recollect, accomplishing a goal may be like strolling a mile uphill in a blizzard…without any garments on. irrespective of how hard it's far getting things to take off, you can't surrender. You must attention on that aim. finally, you may get there, although it's through some different path.
5. Be cautious who you listen to. discover people that assume in a different way than their peers. discover humans which can be wrestling with how things should be performed, and aren't just doing things due to the fact that's how they've constantly been finished. seek out people which can be willing to be misunderstood with the aid of others due to the fact they're convinced there's a higher way. these are the kinds of people that you need to be learning and getting recommendation from.
In university, my wife and that i met and have been engaged within a month, after which married five months later. Many humans on campus at our smaller university were all very concerned that we were making a huge mistake. human beings don't just meet and get engaged multi function month, they have been all announcing to themselves. They had been judging our choice basically primarily based on how all people else has usually achieved things. on the equal time, we would have those conversations with a few older married couples that informed us those loopy memories of how they met and married in even a shorter amount of time than us. They had been satisfied, and nevertheless married! We listened to the crazy ones and unnoticed anybody else. we are going to be celebrating 10 years of marriage q4 with five beautiful youngsters.
Any other be aware. a person doesn't ought to be an carried out entrepreneurial all-star or be an expert in a given discipline for them to be a sensible individual if you want to pay attention to or get recommendation from. you could learn things even from little kids. you'll be clever to now not matter out all those round you absolutely because they don't appear to be qualified to give you advice. I think we've all skilled moments in our lives in which we should have helped someone in a large manner had they best been inclined to invite for it.
6. realise the importance of optimism. while beginning a business, it facilitates to be constructive which you are able to building something inside the international that doesn't already exist. you furthermore may need to companion with others which are positive. grasp out with human beings that have triumph over barriers, or which have frequently been underdogs. those forms of people have a tendency to view all barriers as simply velocity bumps that handiest temporarily sluggish you down.
Doubters are a dime a dozen. They undergo existence like snipers, usually trying to pick out off absolutely everyone willing to exit on a limb and strive some thing specific. live faraway from these types of human beings.
7. Discover ways to ask for assist. If you can't get the product made, or the web site built, or the ebook written, you want to ask for help. if you have deep pockets, you might be able to break out with paying someone else to do positive responsibilities. if you don't, you might should tackle a companion. A commonplace trait in entrepreneurs is a willingness and preference to do the entirety ourselves. That's a good trait, and frequently it's critical to the fulfillment of an entrepreneur. however you furthermore may want to apprehend that there are instances which you want to usher in assist. It's better to personal 50% of some thing than one hundred% of not anything. It's extraordinary how stingy we may be over things that don't exist but.
8. Locate someone regionally to fulfill with. find a person else to have coffee with or beers with on a normal basis. if you are inside a hundred miles of a warm ocean, a person to go surfing with. It's incredible to have human beings which you electronic mail, or Skype, but find someone or a group domestically this is taking place a comparable avenue. tell every other battle tales. mission every different and most importantly, inspire each different.
some of the most lifestyles-changing moments that have came about in my life and commercial enterprise over the past five years have taken area with buddies in coffee stores or over a pint. (right here in Portland, the beer and coffee are some of the nice anywhere within the global.)
9. Time table in rest. pick as a minimum one day every week that you are not going to work in any respect, as a minimum for your enterprise. The temptation for most of the people starting a commercial enterprise, myself heavily blanketed, is to paintings seven days a week. that is especially the case as you start to enjoy a few success. A lie creeps into your head that announces that the commercial enterprise will somehow fail if you take a day off. We have a look at it adore it's a large residence of playing cards with a view to implode if we spend an afternoon lounging in the outdoor analyzing a ebook, or on a hike with our circle of relatives.
Take as a minimum a time off. Don't think about your paintings. relaxation. you'll come again refreshed, questioning more in reality and could positioned your self and your business in a much higher position to prevail.
10. Don't fear about failing. If the idea you are operating on doesn't take off, examine from it and move on. I as soon as made a website that sold mini RC helicopters. there has been handiest one sort of helicopter on the market at the web site. I used a free $a hundred Google ad-words coupon to put it on the market the website. After every week went through, and i burned through my $one hundred in advertising, I had gotten one person to purchase a helicopter from me and pay through Paypal. Then, the man straight away called the variety to ensure the purchase was valid, only to have my spouse answer because i was in the shower! I made approximately $8 after it turned into shipped.
On the cease of that week, I went and checked out some of the larger on line RC stores and found out a variety of of things. First, there has been no cause or area for me to compete in the already crowded online RC marketplace. 2nd, in case your site doesn't appearance somewhat professional, human beings gained't purchase what you have on the market. 0.33, I wanted a very good explanation for why human beings can purchase from me. I didn't have one. Fourth, sell where you spot call for. neighborhood demand doesn't constantly translate into on line demand, and on line call for doesn't always translate into local call for. I had a bunch of human beings locally at the time wanting to shop for the helicopters from me, so i thought that I should resultseasily sell them on line, even even as competing towards properly-installed competition. i used to be wrong.
All this to mention, I discovered a ton, and feature this beyond 12 months put most of the instructions I learned into exercise whilst constructing ApplianceSchool. Many business thoughts received't work out, however they could all be discovered from. Fear of failure reasons many people to observe from the sidelines, and many others to tread thru life on eggshells. Failure is whilst you don't even try. Failure is not gaining knowledge of from your reports. Failure is playing it safe and now not risking it slow, cash and resources to attempt to accomplish some thing that you really need to accomplish.
Don't forget, you may fail at what you don't need, so that you would possibly as nicely take a hazard on doing what you adore. So go out and begin a business. Take dangers. Do matters higher and otherwise than different people. and have fun.
What are your thoughts? have you ever found out a number of those lessons the hard way? have you ever visible the importance of any of them? I'd love to pay attention your memories. desire you all are well!
