How would your blogging game change if you had in-depth trainings, focused monthly implementation challenges, a positive support community, and an engaged blogging mentor?
It's time to find out! Join my online blog school and community!

Blogging can be lonely while at the same time extremely overwhelming. You can be in dozens of Facebook groups and communities but never really feel supported. You can take courses but regularly find gaps in your blogging education.
Typically the gaps in your blogging education cause two things.

2) Make you want to give up.
I don't want to see that happen to you! I know it can be prevented!
That's why I decided to create a special ongoing learning environment geared toward bloggers who need a supportive "no dumb questions" community with the resource they need to Just Keep Blogging.
Each month members of the Just Keep Blogging Mentored Membership will have access to:
1) A full library of videos, audio learning, lessons, and printables to help fill in the gaps of your blogging education.
2) Fresh topic-specific how-to videos, audio learning lessons (so you can learn while on the go) that range from beginner to advanced tactics released each month.
3) A live, interactive coaching Q & A sessions for beginner level bloggers.
4) A Live, interactive coaching Q & A sessions for intermediate to more advanced bloggers.
5) Exclusive monthly implementation contest challenges with one on one coaching prizes.
6) Exclusive Just Keep Blogging Podcast Episodes not released to the public!
7) Exclusive member-only discounts and early access to Kim Anderson Consulting Products.
8) FREE BONUS -- Closed Members Only Facebook Community Approval = More engagement, more Live streams and more encouragement!

Since I'm a language and grammar nerd, I always like looking at how we say things as well as what we're actually saying. I was thinking about this last night in context of the phrase "making friends," or "making a friend." It's an act of creation.
So it's VBS week at church, which is both really neat and horrendously exhausting. This year I'm co-teaching an adult class with Interpreter, which is its own barrel of really neat and horrendously exhausting, but I love it a lot and am daily affirmed that this is the right direction (provided I live alone forever, as these 13 hour days of PEOPLE are killing my poor little introvert soul). Last night some of us adults (which is still weird that that's my category) went out after the evening ended for drinks and general de-stressing before the last push of tonight. It was definitely not something I do all that often, this casual hanging out with a group of people just drinking and laughing and being ridiculous. I'm much more the coffee-shop one-on-one type, or the meeting-over-lunch type, where there is a point and purpose we're trying to achieve.
In short, I've kind of forgotten how to just hang out and be friendly. I have plenty of things I could say about how that happened and why it's not necessarily a bad thing, but the thing of it is that it took me a minute to just be part of this atmosphere. And it was okay; this is not something I want to start doing on a regular basis, but it was good to be that different part of myself that is outrageous and loose and sweary and such. As we were leaving, one of the folks said, "It was good to hang out with you; I've never gotten to do that before," and it occurred to me that this is how adults build friendships.
Ewwwww, friendships. They take work, right? And vulnerability. And trust. And honesty. And all of these awful things I don't like because I'm a curmudgeon and I have my two plant children (no, really, I have a spider plant and an aloe plant and I am currently succeding at plant parenting, back off this is an accomplishment) and my books and that's enough thank you.
Except for the part where it isn't, and where not everybody has to be my bestie 4eva.
The thing about following the human/divine Christ is that He was human as well as divine, which seems obvious but has so many exhausting pieces to it. He had friends; yes, the disciples were His students, but they were also His pals, the ones He wandered around with and the ones who told Him when His tunic was on backwards. But He also had several layers of friends; there were His best buds, Peter and James and John, and then there were folks like Andrew, and then there were the various Marys (which sounds like a great band, actually) and so on. And each of those relationships took work. Each had a point of creation by a creative God. Each was a totally different kind of important.
Sure, it wouldn't necessarily have worked for me to go to the pub last night and say, "hey, let's go fish for people" and then all of a sudden I'll have a posse, but to go at all is a hell of a start. To make a friendship of whatever depth or duration is, like any creative endeavor, a work of time. You don't sit down with an easel and paint the "Mona Lisa" in half an hour, even if it's paint-by-numbers. Likewise, you can't craft the various parts of yourself that don't want to open to someone else because that's effing scary yo into something that can mesh with someone else in ten minutes.
Naturally I find this very frustrating, not because I'm impatient but because all of that time of crafting a friendship is the moments of false starts and accidental insults and feeling weird because you kind of had a fight but not really because you weren't friends yet so it doesn't count but it totally does because you don't trust that other person but then there has to be this relationship, so… And this is awkward and uncomfortable and so desperately human, which is not at all my favorite thing to do of a Thursday night.
And yet.
Yet God calls me to relationship with Him and with His people. Try as I might, I can't convince Him to call me to a life of solitude in a remote hermitage somewhere, so in a certain sense I have to go to the pub of a Thursday even when some of the people there are folks I don't really want to see, even when I just want to go home and hang out with my plants. This isn't to say that I should always overrun my own desires and boundaries, nor is it to disavow the beauty and acceptability of being an introvert, but it is to say that God calls me to come out sometimes and create relationships. To make a friend.
Even if making a friend is actually reshaping myself so that I can be a friend to someone else, who delights in having a drink with me.
"I no longer call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name." (John 15:15-16, MEV)

Fort Worth's first street car line was built in late 1876 after the Texas & Pacific Railroad had stormed into town that summer. The immediate impetus for the line was the god-awful traffic jams on the main thoroughfares that came with "boom town" status. And there was the simple need to get from the train depot on the extreme south end of town to the public square and courthouse on the far north end. The distance was almost exactly one measured mile.
The Fort Worth Street Railway Co. (FWSR), as they called themselves, started with $50,000 in capital. They hurriedly laid a single-track line that ran the length of Main Street. They generally cut corners in every way possible, such as by not bothering to grade the route but just laying the ties on top of the ground. Power was provided by a single mule, "and not a very large mule either," old-timers would recall later. That would begin to change when electricity arrived in Fort Worth in 1890.
The FWSR was the city's only public transportation until 1884, but the system grew rapidly after that. By the time deep-pocketed Eastern investors bought the company after the turn of the century, it had "upwards of 12 miles of track" crisscrossing the city.

Foxymoron's blog inspired this tale... she was posting about a day she spent with her kids going on a picnic and just following their noses....
It reminded me of a day our family came to call "the long drive picnic." We drove up into the mountains west of Port Macquarie...in mid summer (Que???) and we spent the time looking for a way to get off the road and to the rivers and creeks...okay for us but none were wheelchair accessible. We broke down outside the Long Flat pub and the Bikers all came out and got us going again... after meandering about down gravel roads and in and out the bush, we gave up trying to find a place where we could all get near the water for our picnic. We drove all the way back to Port Macquarie...to the picnic area near the North Shore ferry, only ten mins from home...thats why they called it the long drive picnic... it was great fun and the kids were highly amused...I remember finally turning into the picnic area at Port Macquarie, close to where we had set off from and the old Kombi van was sheer rocking with laughter at our predicament. The kids were great...no way did they want to enjoy their picnic unless don could also get in under the shade or near the water... it was lovely and we all remember it vividly.
The girls were about 14 and 11. Don was 38 and me about 34...so long ago but as i write this it seems like it just happened...in another world.

All season, the hierarchy in the Central League has been convoluted bordering on chaotic.
The District One power rankings illustrate just how prominent that parity is.
In the latest version of the district's power rankings, which cover games through Oct. 5, the Central League owns six of the top 14 spots, including a stretch from spots 9-14 populated by five Delco teams.
Conestoga has separated itself as the leader based on points, sitting second overall. Then comes the logjam. Nosing ahead for the moment is Springfield in ninth. Penncrest sits 10th, a miniscule .001 points ahead of Lower Merion. In 12th is Radnor, then 14th is Strath Haven.
Just for good measure, Harriton ranks 21st, and this week, Marple Newtown sneaks into the 28th and final spot in the bracket, giving the Central League eight playoff teams if the season ended today. Marple's margin back to 29th-ranked Downingtown East is a relatively wide .427 percentage points.
Del Val leaders Penn Wood sit 23rd in the rankings with a relatively comfortable margin back to Marple (8.988 to 8.361). Interboro has work to do for its playoff life in 33rd (Tuesday night's game with Penn Wood would be a good start), while Haverford (35th) and Upper Darby (38th) are likely out of striking distance barring a major turnaround.
In the Class AA field, newly demoted Sun Valley sits seventh. Despite having just three wins, they are within .35 points of fifth-seed Octorara for the final playoff spot in that bracket.
In Class A, Delco Christian will need a strong finish to ensure it stays above the cut line for the seven-team playoff field. The Knights currently sit sixth in a field where teams five through 10 are clustered within 1.0 standings points.

Everything complements and accentuates the intrinsic beauty of the architecture and the interiors.
Neat and clutter-free are the words that come to mind when one looks at the design of this room. Simple, modern and stylish furniture adorns the room. While the straight lines make for an impressive look, what truly captures the attention is the wall-to-wall bookshelf. The monochrome look is stunning.
Here, we see a fantastic way to organise a room. While books, folders, and numerous other papers are not easy to hide, a shelf such as this helps to keep things neat and makes the room look modern and impressive. The combination of closed and open shelves is what makes this space work well.
The bedroom features a very contemporary look. The chocolate brown cushioned headboard gives a luxurious and dreamy look to the room. The lampshades hanging from the ceiling are a trendy and modern idea. They add a pleasant and stylish look to the bedroom. While the design in this room looks great, what's noteworthy is that everything is functional and practical too.
A kitchen such as this guarantees to be one of the most attractive features of any home. The vibrant rich blue colour contrasts with the boldness of the red to create a spectacular looking space. The room has character and looks contemporary thanks to the elegant breakfast counter. The barstools make the whole place come alive.
There is something wonderfully pure and lovely about whites. It does not matter which tones or shades you work with; it brings a soft look to any space almost instantly. The cushioned effect extends from the floor to the ceiling giving the room a luxurious ambience. The wood floor and the soft rug accentuate the look even further.
Lighting has to be one of the most important aspects of interior design. A lovely chandelier such as this can occupy a prime spot in the home and become a focal point that people not only notice but also find hard to take their eyes off!

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Thursday announced to join the anti-PML-N movement of Pakistan Awami Tehreek to force chief minister Punjab and provincial law minister to resign over the Model Town tragedy.
Addressing a press conference, PTI Chairman condemned the gruesome murder of seven-year-old Zainab in Kasur and said that PTI with full force will join PAT on January 18. "I will say the tigers of my party to be prepared for January 18."
PAT Chief Dr Tahirul Qadri had announced to start anti-PML-N movement from January 17 after the deadline given by a multi-party conference demanding resignations of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah over the Model Town carnage expired.
Imran Khan said that he would join Dr Qadri along with his supporters on January18. A senior PTI leader said that a committee comprising the Punjab's leadership of PTI was being formed that will decide the modus operandi of the protest on January 18. The committee will decide that whether PTI will be part of the protest only for a day or throughout the protest movement announced by Dr Qadri, he added.
The PTI chief also demanded of the Chief Justice to take a suo motu notice of the Model Town tragedy.
He further said that the CJ should also take notice of the security expenditures being incurred on the personal residence of Sharif family in Jati Umra from the national exchequer.
He questioned which country could spend amounting to Rs7 billion on the security of a ruling family for the last four years. He said that 2,500 policemen had been deputed at Jati Umra and questioned why did the Sharif family does not arrange its personal security instead of relying on the national exchequer.
Imran Khan condemning the abduction and subsequent killing of Zainab in Kasur said that the state would have to form a mechanism to avoid such incidents in future.
He also criticised the Punjab government and the Punjab police for their failure to trace out the culprits. He also claimed that the performance of KP police was far better as compared to Punjab police because the latter had been politicised. He said that this was the twelfth incident of abduction and killing of minor girls in Kasur and why no one took notice on it. He further said that someone should have taken notice on the Kasur's child abuse video scandal.
Chairman PTI said that the whole nation had shown unity after Zainab murder case like it was shown after APS tragedy.
He said that father of the girl and the people showed same reaction after the incident as they said that they had only confidence in CJ and army chief who could provide them justice while the people showed no-confidence in the Punjab government and the police.
He while quoting the report of former Punjab police chief said that this was because PML-N that was ruling the Punjab since 19 years had made appointments in Punjab police while violating merit. He said that culprits were recruited in police. "That is why the Punjab police are corrupt," he alleged.
He said that DPO Kasur who was responsible for the killing of two innocent persons the other day was the one who had ordered the police in Faisalabad to fire bullets at a PTI activist in 2014. He also criticised Shahbaz Sharif for visiting Kasur in the wee hours of Thursday morning and questioned why did the CM go in the darkness of night.
Commenting on the remarks of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif about Bangladesh's leader Sheikh Mujeeb ur Rehman, Imran Khan said that perhaps the former PM was giving some messages to India. He alleged that Sharif wanted to damage the whole system only to save his skin from conviction in corruption references against him.

Rob Allen Couta Mask
|review this product
Rob Allen Couta Mask
The Rob Allen Couta Mask is made from 100% liquid silicone and comes in black only. The black silicone is generally used by spearfishermen however many divers do like the black silicone, it really is a personal preference. Black silicone tunnels your vision so spearfishermen prefer this as they do not want to get distracted by anything else but focus on the fish they are about to shoot. The Rob Allen Couta mask has been around for a long time and with good reason, it fits majority of faces and is super comfortable. The adjustable straps with easy squeeze side clips allows for a perfect fit every time. With the single tempered glass lens you have high visibility and it is extremely low volume. Being low volume means that there is less air inside the mask when being worn. When heading underwater, you need to equalize, this means you need to equalize the air inside your mask to prevent for mask squeeze. When on scuba diving, this is easier as we have spare air to use from our tanks, however when spearfishing, you are on breathe hold so you need less air in your mask so you dont use up too much breathe equalizing. This is why the spearfishing masks are low volume.
How to look after your mask: All of our masks here at Dive Warehouse are made from 100% silicone with tempered glass. When a mask is made, it gets a thin layer of silicone on the inside of the glass. This is what causes it to fog. Anti-fog's will not work until it has been pre-cleaned, as to work it needs to reach the glass and with the silicone layer covering this, it cant work. To remove this layer of silicone, you will need to purchase a pre-cleaner or you can use toothpaste. These products have a slight abrasive in it and will scrub off that silicone layer. A blob of paste on to each lenses on the inside only, give it a good scrub and rinse off with fresh water. Repeat this process 3 times to ensure you have scrubbed off all of the silicone layer, then you can anti-fog. The glass will not get scratched as it is tempered. You can purchase a good quality anti-fog here at Dive Warehouse, or you can spit or lick the inside of the lens as spit is a natural anti-fog! After you have cleaned your mask and are no longer fogging, you will need to wash your gear after every use to prevent it from perishing. The best way to clean you mask and snorkel is to put them in a tub of fresh warm water and give them a good rinse. this will take off all of the salt and sand that you get from the ocean.

For November, read exclusive blogs from business continuity expert and our author of the month Robert Clark.
Written by Robert Clark.
It is not uncommon to find National Risk Registers (NNR) predicting a severe influenza pandemic occurring in the near future comparable to the devastating and terrifying deadly Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918 which left 50 million dead. However, in addition to the influenza threat, a number of novel contagions have been identified in recent years. Categorised by the UK's NNR as 'emerging infectious diseases' these include Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Ebola which cannot be overlooked.
While researching for his book "Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat", November's 'Author of the Month' – Robert Clark, travelled to several locations that have suffered at the hands of various contagions. In Hong Kong he was able to study both the healthcare challenges and economic impact from SARS which was labelled an economic tsunami. Moreover, it is no exaggeration to say that in terms of social behaviour – people were simply petrified. It presented us a major wakeup call in 2003 and some experts consider SARS as a dress-rehearsal for the next pandemic. It also afforded unequivocal testimony that aviation travellers can enable pathogenic diseases to traverse the planet in a matter of hours. Ebola badly affected West African countries causing over 11,000 fatalities in 2014-16. Four years later it is on the march again.
However, instead of threatening mainly rural areas as in 2014, despite efforts to contain it, the disease is gaining a foothold in highly populated areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This could facilitate easier disease transmission both within the DRC and beyond its borders especially with an incubation period potentially as short as 2 days usually accompanied by a very sudden onset of the illness. Organisations believing they have ample time to prepare for the next severe pandemic need only to look at SARS. After it broke out of China, it took an overnight stop in Hong Kong before rapidly moving onto Toronto, Singapore and Hanoi. While we cannot prevent pandemics occurring, Clark's book explains what we can expect while providing clear and concise examples on how organisations can prepare appropriate mitigation and contingency plans.
Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat
Topics covered in this book include:
- The World Health Organisation (WHO)'s pandemic phases and the Centre for Disease Control (CDC)'s Pandemic Severity Index
- Preventive control measures
- Crisis management and the composition of a crisis management team
- Dealing with cash-flow, staff absenteeism, home working and supply chain management
- Communications and media plans
- Pandemic issues for HR
- The threat to critical national infrastructure
- Health service contingency plans and First Responders' business continuity plans

Our annual Student LaunchPad event supports food science students by providing them with an experience to strengthen their perceptions of the food sector beyond the university setting and help provide valuable insights into possible careers in all aspects of the food chain.
The first Student LaunchPad was held in 2011 at the premises of Campden BRI who worked closely with IFST to develop the event. Following its success, another LaunchPad was hosted by Leatherhead Food Research in 2012. In 2014, we held our first LaunchPad in the north of England kindly hosted by Fera and in 2015 in Northern Ireland courtesy of AFBI.
The Student LaunchPads take place every year in October - November.
These events are provided free of charge by IFST with the support of industry leaders.
What to expect
A LaunchPad day typically begins with presentations from those working within the food and drink industry. These are designed to provide students with advice and help provide valuable insights into possible career paths in all aspects of the food chain. Students can then ask questions in an open discussion that follows.
A key feature of the LaunchPads are the lunchtime speed mentoring sessions where students can move from table-to-table, each hosted by an industry mentor to discuss for example one of the following subjects:
- Working for a large organisation
- Working for a small organisation
- Working in food regulation
- Food science and technology in retail
- Employer expectations of graduates
- Career opportunities
Students also get an opportunity to tour the facilities of the host venue towards the end of the session.
Past industry mentors have included leading independent consultants and senior representatives from organisations such as Heinz, PepsiCo, the Food Standards Agency, the Food and Drink Federation, Sainsbury's, Barfoots of Botley, Compass, MorePeople, Innocent, Waitrose, AB Sugar, Allied Technical Centre and Leatherhead Food Research.
What students say
'Thank you so much for a truly fantastic day. Not only was it incredibly informative but also a great event to enable a real sense of excitement regarding a career in food to be future explored. Thank you!'
'Very useful event! Could be used for both 2nd year students seeking placement and also final year students seeking full time employment.'
'I had a fantastic day and came away enthused and enlightened. This is the first event I have been to and I will without a doubt return.'
'The presentations were excellent and gave a varied range of information. I came away feeling very well informed, and quite excited about the food industry - it reinforced that I'm making the right move and going in the right direction.'

The forces acting on auto brands' equity are increasingly new and unpredictable. And those brands can no longer afford to wait several weeks or months to find out what is happening.
The fundamental changes facing our industry over the next decade and the speed at which auto buyers are changing creates a new paradigm for marketers – and they have an urgent need for new tools to help them navigate it.
The changing face of auto brand equity
The entire basis of consumers' relationship to cars is shifting. Products that were once an aspirational rite of passage now have to prove their value to urbanised consumers happy to consider life without them. Brands that earned respect for their engineering prowess and performance on the road are increasingly judged on their ability to interface with smartphones, help with parking or alert drivers to congested roads ahead. Climate change and the need for alternative fuel technologies add an ethical dimension to the decision over which vehicle to buy for more and more consumers. The qualities and associations that built the strongest auto brands of today will probably not be the qualities and associations that build the strongest auto brands of tomorrow.
A new competitive landscape
The competitive landscape is changing too. Toyota, Volkswagen, GM, Ford, BMW and the rest won't just have to track their brand performance against fast-emerging regional rivals such as China's Haval and ChangAn. In a few years' time they may also be competing with the likes of Google, and before then their brand strategies will have to take account of the disruption from the likes of Uber. In a world where technology interfaces exert ever-greater influence over vehicle choices, they must understand too how the brand equity of potential tech partners aligns with and supports their own.
Time for predictive brand tracking
Auto brands need a whole new level of insight and maneuverability when it comes to negotiating this new landscape; a means of ensuring that campaigns align with current consumer needs and motivations, in time to refine them and keep them on track. Traditional brand equity surveys take weeks to compile, which tends to leave brands looking in the rear view mirror at what they could have done better for this campaign or that launch. What they need is the ability to predict those brand equity scores in advance. And thanks to a pioneering new form of brand equity tracking, that's what they can now have.
Brand tracking's new search and social spine
Researchers and marketers have known for some time that search and social data could hold the key to providing a real-time take on brand equity. However, there have been big concerns about how accurate and how representative such data really is. Not everyone expresses their views on social media – and certain types of people are far more likely to do so than others. When a Twitter user mentions Apple do they mean the fruit or the iPhone manufacturer? And can we really be confident of picking up the tone of voice that people are using when commenting online?
The solution lies in sophisticated data-cleaning and modelling techniques that can interpret the context and meaning of social media commentary, and weight it accurately to reflect the balance of consumer opinion. When we used such techniques to generate brand equity scores from search and social data, we found that they predicted the results of traditional surveys with 90% accuracy – and did so up to eight weeks in advance. And the predictive scores correlated with brand equity for auto brands just as accurately as they did for other categories. Our studies prove the viability and value of predictive, search and social-driven brand tracking.
What does this mean for the auto industry? It means that marketers now have the power to look into the future; to see how their brand will perform, not just how it has performed. It gives them the opportunity to anticipate behaviours, perceive trends, and pre-empt risks, not simply learn from what's happened in the past.
Purely and simply, it's a game-changer for brand research in auto. And it's a game-changer that's happening just in time.

Gabriel Matos
My name is Gabriel Matos, I am from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. I love my country and my people very much! I grew up in a Christian family going to church every Saturday, Sunday and Wednesdays. I was always involved in church activities since I was a little child. My grandfather was a pastor and I grew up hearing all the stories from the Bible and all the testimonies about missionaries. That was my environment my whole life. However, although I was involved in church activities my whole life, my heart was never (or almost never) into what I was doing. I knew about God, and maybe there was not a single story that I had never heard before. I was aware of my sin and the separation it creates towards to God and for a long time, I did everything because of this fear of being away from God and being punished. Until the days that I had so much pain in my life, my father got divorced from my mother and it was the hardest time in my life (maybe it is not a big deal in your opinion, but it was a huge impact in my life). During that time, I understood there was a lovely God who would never leave me, nor forsake me. I understood in my heart that so many people around me were suffering for not having this love. I went on my first mission trip here in my State in 2002 and in 2007 I went on my first international mission trip to Bolivia. God has given me a passion for South America and I had the chance to lead some groups and run soccer camps and share Jesus through soccer in those missions -Bolivia(2008), Paraguay (2008) Chile(2010) and Colombia (2008-2015).

Each church planter trained is expected to plant at least one multiplying and reproducing church. AMB and TTI have partnered together to train 12 directors and open 4 pastor schools in Colombia. TTI may be found at www.tti.org.
Grace Global Network
In December of 2004, Greg Kappas founded Grace Global Network and serves as President. GGN partners with other evangelical reproducing church planting movements in multiplying new churches around the globe (graceglobalnetwork.org). GGN also assists turnaround churches to greater health through a creative process of ministry.

The Around Long Island Regatta, first run in 1977, covers a 190 nautical mile course combining Ocean and Coastal racing. Open to all sail boats 26 feet and larger, the race is designed for sailors at all levels, running in as many as 10 divisions, typically finishing in one to three days.
The race takes place annually toward the end of July, beginning on Thursday afternoon off Rockaway Point.
The ocean leg runs along Long Island's south shore from the Rockaway, Long Beach, Jones Beach, Fire Island, the Hamptons and on out to Montauk Point. Some boats choose the shortest distance, due east, hugging the shore, while others opt for deeper water in search of better wind. After rounding the point, boaters must judge wind, tide, and current as they head Northwest to Plum Gut where they enter Long Island Sound for the final leg of the race, reading the shifting winds and tides along the north shore of Long Island or the southern shore of Connecticut. The race ends in Hempstead Harbor at the Glen Cove breakwater.
The weekend concludes with the ALIR Awards Banquet and Beach Party, hosted by the Sea Cliff Yacht Club on Sunday afternoon.
For many sailors, this race is a 'rite of passage' as it can be their first time sailing on the ocean. It may be a coastal race with the Long Island coast rarely more than a few miles away, but the ocean swells and waves have caused many a boat to drop out over the years either from crew seasickness or battered boats.

No one wants to see their Beemer go through wear and tear at any point of its lifespan, especially wear on its good looks. Exceptional vehicles like BMWs deserve to be well maintained, especially when it comes to their body paint since it'll be the first thing you, or anyone else, will notice. While the occasional scratch may appear here and there, it's not completely impossible to either prevent or repair them, keeping your BMW shining and sparkling. Take a look at some of Edmonton BMW's tips on how to maintain the body paint on your model.
Wash Your Car Regularly
One of the best ways to maintain your BMW's paint job is by regularly washing it, every week or so. This helps keep the buildup of unwanted contaminants like dirt or mud from deteriorating the surface of your vehicle. Here's a couple of things to keep in mind while washing your car.
- Keep your distance with high-pressure washers, as the force can be strong enough to strip away any outer layers of the paint.
- Hand wash your BMW if possible. The gentle and soft, but firm and thorough cleaning you get from a DIY hand wash gives you better control, compared to other car wash tools.
- Don't use automated car washes, if possible. The more vigorous the wash, the harder it is on your car's paint, which runs the risk of deteriorating it further. However, taking it to an automated car wash every few months should be fine.
- Wash your BMW in a cool, shady place with soft water. Hard water contains minerals, which may leave unsightly spots after the water evaporates.
Follow Your Wash with Wax & Polish
Finishing your car wash with some wax or polish is one of the best ways to ensure your car stays clean and spot-free for longer periods of time. Wax and polish help seal the paint after the car's been washed, or after the paint's been restored. The best time to get your BMW waxed or polished comes at least every three months, while in some cases it may even be beneficial to apply after every wash to ensure the finish is always protected. Spray-on waxes work well, especially on newer vehicles, but we fully recommend applying liquid or paste waxes.
Touch Up The Tiny Scratches
If you already spot some tiny dings while taking a walk around your BMW, you should consider picking up some touch-up paint or a scratch pen to take care of those pesky scratches instead of waiting for bigger gashes that'll take you to the body shop and have you spending thousands of dollars for something that was initially an inexpensive touch-up.
Get Rid of Bird Droppings, ASAP
This tip may not seem like a big deal at first, but bird droppings along with dead bugs, pollen, dirt, and other forms of corrosive debris are often the biggest culprits of irreversible damage to your car's paint, leaving greater damage the longer it's exposed, resulting in the need for professional treatment. Much in the same vein as treating tiny scratches, clean contaminants as soon as possible and as gently as you can, to prevent any of the paint scraping off along with the dried, leftover residue.
These were only a few of your tips on how to maintain your BMW' paint to perfection. For other quick BMW tips and tricks, make sure to stay updated on our blog, or shoot us a message if you have any questions!

6 Holmes Road, Coventry, RI
The Sellers needed to relocate quickly. They hired me to sell their home, and it went under contract in just 6 days. Here's how I did it:
- I hired a professional photographer. Most people begin their home search online, so professional photos are key in order to make the home stand out.
- The house was priced at market value. Overpricing can cause delays and homes that are overpriced to begin with will generally sell for less in the long run.
- The home was advertised extensively on social media-Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and Instagram.
- I used a two way texting system so that prospective buyers had a quick and easy way to access all of the property information.
- The home had its own property website (www.6Holmes.info) with all of the property information, professional photos and a virtual tour.
- The neighborhood was blanketed with Just Listed Postcards, inviting neighbors to choose their new neighbor.
If you want to see what your home is worth in today's market, click here and I will send you a market report for your home, no string attached, I promise.

a genus of basidial fungi of the family Hydnaceae. There are approximately 500 species, which grow in forests on the ground, in rotting wood, and more rarely on living wood. Hydnum species with a cap have hymenophores shaped like conical thorns, papillae, and warts on their underside; species extending under the earth's substratum have them on the upper side of the fruit body. Some Hydnum species that have a fleshy fruit body, such as wood hedgehog and variegated Hydnum, are edible when they are young.

text: neX 1 Posted December 3, 2009 Just looking at some of the offers for the PS3 and 360 bundles and am looking to upgrade from my Xbox Classic in regards to playing my sports games - FIFA07 just doesn't cut it anymore. As a backgrounder, I am rabid PC gamer and primarily use the Xbox Classic with XBMC for Viusal and Streaming Entertainment in the living room with the occasional FIFA07 session which can last up to 6-7 hours depending on my mood. As such, my decision will be based on the ease of modding (for future uses) when the unit becomes end of life, Blu Ray isn't too important to me either due to my current arrangements, games available, inherent issues with both systems etc. So what would you recommend purchasing and why?

French Government Slams Sanofi Over Brandicourt Pay Package
Olivier Brandicourt has not even begun his new job as Sanofi chief executive, but already the drug maker is encountering criticism. The French government is apparently incensed that Sanofi plans to give him a one-time 'golden handshake' worth about $4.5 million, in addition to a compensation of approximately $4.7 million a year.
In an interview with a French radio station, government spokesman Stephane Le Foll called the payment "incomprehensible… These people, when they have hardly taken the reins of a company, which is to say they haven't yet taken any risk, are already assured to get a disproportionate package."

A few months ago I asked a friend what he thought of iOS 10 for the iPhone. He said he waits a few months to upgrade because of all the bugs, but he'd get around to it.
At a New Year's gathering over weekend I asked him the same question. Again. He said he'd just upgraded to iOS 10. I said, "iOS 10.2." He said, "No. I want to wait until all the bugs are removed first." Anybody see a problem there?
It's true that nearly every major release of macOS or iOS has bugs. It's just as true that every incremental increase– say, from iOS 10.0 to iOS 10.1– has bugs. The most recent is iOS 10.2, and sure enough, there are bugs. I don't know what they are because iOS 10.2 runs well on my iPhone and iPad, but the nature of software is, well, bugs.
Here's my list of favorite new functions and features that came with iOS 10.2.
Bedtime – think of it as a clock timer for sleeping. Set the time for bed and the number of hours you want to sleep. You'll get a nice alarm when it's time to get up. It's in the Apple Clock app.
Emoji Conversion – Apple still needs a cheatsheet for emoji but this helps. In Messages, type a message, then hit the emoji key. Any comparable emoji in the message you just typed can be viewed.
Bypass Do Not Disturb – I love DND, but there are times when you may want someone to get through the block. Now you can. Just check the Contacts Edit button and set the ringtone or text tone to Emergency Bypass On. Done.
Find My Car – Much needed, long overdue. Park your car. Maps knows where it is. You'll find the car icon on Maps. Perfect for mall shopping.
Some of these are new and some have been around a few months already, but most iPhone users don't know about them.
Old Unlock – I don't mind the new iPhone unlock with Touch ID because it's ultra fast, but some prefer the pause. iOS 10.2 delivers with Rest Finger To Open in the Settings, General, Accessibility, and Home Button section.
Photo Search – This is decent and a look at things to come. Open Photos, select Memories but search for a particular object– car, house, children, park, birthday. Photos has already figured out what is in each Photo.
Fast Camera – What's better than fast access to Camera. Raise to View, swipe from right to left. Voila! Camera.
Now, the final word on upgrading from one version of macOS and iOS. There might be some wisdom in waiting a few days to see if major bugs become known, but it's been years since I've bothered to wait before installing a new version of either OS. Unless your business requires a specific app that doesn't run on the new OS, or an app you know and love and use regularly doesn't work, upgrades these days are mostly painless. Pity the poor Android users who never see much of an upgrade at all. Ever.

According to several staff members, New Year's cannot come fast enough. With multiple beloved celebrity deaths, a rollercoaster of an election and the tragic loss of America's favorite gorilla, people are ready to leave 2016 behind. Bring on 2017!
Ryan, our Sales Manager for AVA, has said he wants work on having as much fun as he can and spend as little as he can. Ryan is a bit of a concert chaser. He has even traveled to the Dominican Republic for shows before! Obviously that isn't cheap, so maybe Ryan will take advantage of the fun waiting in his Colorado backyard.
Our Assistant General Manager, Allison, would like to take advantage of her close proximity to the ski hills and go skinning more. Skinning is a method of ascending a snowy mountainside by attaching climbing skins to the bottom of alpine skis or splitboards.Once the ascent is complete, the skins are removed so you can ski, or snowboard if you used a splitboard, back down the mountain in the wonderful, fresh snow.
Cory, our lead zip guide, would like to spend more time outdoors. If you know Cory at all this may make you chuckle, as he tends to spend most of his time outside already. Cory is used to the faster things in life, including both of our zipline courses. 2017 promises more rock climbing and deep-water soloing for Cory.
One of our trip specialists Lauren would like to focus on eating healthier and be more active. As a former athlete, this shouldn't be a tough task for Lauren. She's looking to find a softball team to join in Breckenridge to use the skills she still possesses.
What are you hoping to achieve in the new year? If you're looking for more adventure in your life, look no further! AVA Rafting & Zipline offers a variety of activities, including whitewater rafting, ziplining, horseback riding, off-road tours, hot air ballooning and more! Call to find the perfect adventure for you: 877-RAFTING (877-723-8464).
