What is Linux Hosting?

linux serverSometimes referred to as LAMP due to its standard configuration of Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP, Linux Web Hosting enables you to build websites, run servers and administer hosting plans using the Linux Operating System (OS). Using this platform for Web Hosting and development allows the flexibility to take advantage of popular open-source technologies such as PHP, MySQL, Python, and XML.

Linux Hosting generally offers the best stability, flexibility and security. For this reason, and thanks to having lower prices than the competition, it is the preferred choice in the majority of the Web Hosting industry - Google use Linux to run their scores of servers, and their mobile device OS Android is also based on Linux.

Linux Logo

Why is the Linux Logo a Penguin?

The Linux logo/mascot is a penguin called Tux, and was created by Larry Ewing. Linus Torvalds, the original creator of the Linux OS, was bitten by a penguin while visiting the national zoo in Australia - the name Tux is an abbreviation of the word tuxedo, an outfit commonly known as a 'penguin suit'.

Pros and Cons of Linux Hosting

  • Affordability
  • Its majority market share means Linux is supported by most hosting companies
  • Open-source community is constantly developing new innovations
  • Industry standard
  • Generally well-protected from hackers

  • Applications coded in Windows-exclusive languages (such as IIS or ASP) won't run on Linux servers
  • .NET won't run on Linux servers without adjustments (which you can only make on more expensive hosting, and it will be less stable than on a windows plan)

Further Information

Linux: The Industry Standard in Web Hosting

Over time, as Linux Hosting became more and more prevalent, maintenance and management tools were created to assist those using Linux servers. Technicians began to find that they needed to understand Linux, and some of the popular Linux-based operating systems set up certification systems to help with this. The Linux market share grew steadily and it is now almost synonymous with Web Hosting - which naturally has lead to more hosting companies adopting it.

Why is Linux Hosting So Popular?

linux apache mysql phpThe biggest reason that Linux dominates the server OS market is its price - there isn't one! Three key pieces of software you need to serve a website alongside a Linux OS are all open-source - free for anyone to use and distribute. They are:

  • Apache, Linux’s leading Web server application
  • MySQL, the most prominent database application
  • PHP, the most popular scripting language

Not only that, but the Linux OS itself is also free, and is able to run well on ageing hardware - saving hosting companies even more money! Consequently, Web Hosting providers using LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) are able to offer their customers extremely competitive prices on Linux Hosting plans.

Linux and LAMP: MySQL Database

mysql logoMySQL (not to be confused with MSSQL) is perhaps the best-known database type, and by far the most popular option for database management. The database is an integral component of most websites, and is often emphasized by hosting providers.

Blog software developers like WordPress chose MySQL when integrating the use of databases in their CMS (Content Management Systems). It is powerful and sophisticated, it is open source and free. Here are the three main benefits of MySQL:

up 81px

Open Source and Free

MySQL is free, which isn’t the case with MSSQL and other top database options. The host can pass this savings onto the consumer, which means lower Web Hosting costs. MySQL is in constant development at no cost to the end-user, and when a new version launches, transition to it is free and simple.

up 81px

Easy to Learn and Use

The most difficult aspect of using any database management system is learning its nuances. MySQL has been refined over the years so that the learning curve is very low. Additionally, there is a great wealth of free material out there that can help you with the basics all the way up to expert understanding.

up 81px

Flexible, Stable, Fast and Secure

Most importantly, a database has to receive and provide data quickly. It has to be dependable, protect the data within itself as well as grow and expand laterally with the business and website. MySQL achieves that more efficiently and affordably than other types of database.

History of Linux

linux popularityLinux was developed by software engineer Linus Torvalds in 1991. Torvalds used the source code of another OS called Unix (a process known as 'forking') to create an entirely new OS. The main difference between the two is that Unix was and still is licensed software, whereas Linux is open-source - it was the first OS that could be improved or enhanced by anyone.

Unix is a popular multi-user, multitasking OS. It is written in a high level programming language but retains a simple design and allows reusable code. It was developed at Bell Labs in the late 1960s by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. The Unix family grew into one of the most popular networking Operating Systems (OS) on the market, but has since been dwarfed by it's progeny; Linux.

linux communityNow, there are approximately 20 million lines of code under Linux's public license. What started as Torvalds' personal project has now become the most common operating system for servers. The fact that Linux and Unix operating systems are only present on around 1.5% of personal desktops and laptops has no bearing on the quality or usability of Linux Hosting plans.

Due to Linux's open-source nature, and the activity of its community, there are now multiple flavors to choose from, the most popular of which are called Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS.

Linux Hosting or Windows Hosting?

For many people just starting out, it might not really matter. Generally if you plan to use any of the following, you will be best off with a Linux Host

  • Wordpress or other similar web apps/CMS
  • Dreamweaver
  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • CGI
  • Python
  • Perl

However, if you are using ASP, IIS, MSSQL or .NET you should probably get a Windows Web Hosting plan.

What to expect from a Linux Hosting plan

Aside from cost, which should be low as Web Hosting companies don’t pay a license or operating fee for Linux, these are some important things to look for in a Linux Hosting plan:

Reliability - look for 99.9% uptime

User-friendly control panel

Access to open-source software

Is Linux Hosting right for me?

If you want an industry-standard cheap web hosting solution, then Linux Hosting should provide you with the best value for money deal based on your requirements. It is not simply a cheap alternative to Windows - Linux is globally recognized as a web server superpower.

If you plan to work with a lot of open source software and use LAMP, then you definitely need a Linux Hosting server - but you probably already knew that didn't you?

Get your Linux Web Hosting plan today!

How to Draw an Oystercatcher

In this quick tutorial you'll learn how to draw an Oystercatcher in 9 easy steps - great for kids and novice artists.

The images above represents how your finished drawing is going to look and the steps involved.

Below are the individual steps - you can click on each one for a High Resolution printable PDF version.

At the bottom you can read some interesting facts about the Oystercatcher.

Make sure you also check out any of the hundreds of drawing tutorials grouped by category.

How to Draw an Oystercatcher - Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: First draw the head. It is an upside down "U" with a long thin pointy beak coming out of the left line.

Step 2: Just below the top of the head curve draw a large round eye. Draw a bent line inside the beak line.

Step 3: Continue the right head line down into a short diagonal line down and to the right. The left side of the head line continues down and then curves to the right

Step 4: Starting at the bottom of the body line draw a slightly curved line down and to the right. This is the wing. Make a sharp point at the bottom of the wing and bring the line back up. It will touch the belly line and continue up. End the wing line just below where you started.

Step 5: Under the belly line draw two lines down to make the first hind leg. There is a slight bump in the middle to make the knee. Add three toes at the bottom of the leg. There are two toes at the front and one shorter toe pointing back.

Step 6: To the right of that hind leg draw the other hind leg the same width and length as the first one. You can only see two toes. One points front and the shorter toe points back.

Step 7: Along the back of the wing draw two or three jagged triangles to make the tail.

Step 8: Draw a squiggly line from the neck line back to the wing line. Draw some straight lines along the wing with a large squiggly circle at the bottom of the wing. These are the feather patterns.

Step 9: Finally, draw two lines on either side of the feet. This is the rock that the oystercatcher is standing on.

Interesting Facts about the OYSTERCATCHER

The Oystercatcher is a member of the bird group and the scientific term for them is Haematopus ostralegus. This animal derives its scientific name from the Greek word “Haema-topus” (blood-foot) and the Latin word “ostra-legus” (oyster-catch). Other common names for this species are the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the Common Pied Oystercatcher. It is also called the Tjaldur on the Faroe Islands where it is the national bird.

Did you know?

  • The animal was first documented in 1758.
  • Their body length is up to 1.5 feet.
  • The wingspan is almost 3 feet wide.
  • Their beak is almost 1/4 of a foot long.
  • They can have up to 4 eggs from a pregnancy.

This species is related to Plovers since they spend most of their time wading through the water in search of food. It is black on top, white on the bottom, and has an orange beak, eyes, and feet. They can be found as far north as Britain, but they migrate in the winter to the coast of northern Africa. Their nests are made from pebbles where the eggs and babies are camouflaged very well. These animals have a low population amount, but are considered to be the least concern for the possibility of extinction.

Is "dastardly" a real word?  Anyway, you can totally be related to me and win, but please don't let my family be the only ones who enter.  That's just pitiful and will make me eat Girl Scout cookies by the sleeve.  I don't speak legalese, so please pretend that I said some official, important-sounding crap right here.   Oh, and thanks for playing. This is going to be fun! (for everybody except Brian)

Hang on a mo, have we started...?

    Ooops, better throw my casting into the cauldron I suppose.

    Still untouched, as the "quicky" monster bolster build has just generated myriad microscopic detailing diversions, and that's without the rivets:rolleyes:

    So a placeholder post, the subject sits in the background on this recent picture, another of Fred Phipps Fabulous Five Planks...

    I think I can hear the sound of fastidious fettling from the Northampton direction....

    You can :) Now some of my tools have returned (having lent them out to help a friend) I can get cracking again...

  3. Simon

    Simon Flying Squad

    Well I have started, currently held up by the need to turn the wheels down and re-set the back to backs before installing them into the wheel carriers. I have modified the etches to accept roller bearings, shown fitted into place.

    The quality of the casting and other parts is very good, this wagon could go together very quickly...

    That’s out of my era, but really very nice.

    Please post details of the axle carriers/equalisation, and the bearings.

  5. Simon

    Simon Flying Squad

    Hi Simon

    The axle compensation bits are part of the kit, but I reamed out the holes to accept the roller bearings. I don't have the reference in front of me, these came from hobby holidays but I generally get them from RC bearings who do a very good mail order service and list their products very comprehensively.

BIIF eight-man football: Ka’u’s Echalas brought plenty of game in earning DPOY

  • Brandon Echalas played on offense for Ka‘u, but defense, specifically linebacker, is what he preferred and where he excelled. (PAM TAYLOR/Courtesy Photo)

Brandon Echalas’ nickname suggests that of a flashy offensive player, and a self-important one at that.

On the Ka’u football team, the senior is known as “Hollywood” because he likes to dress and look nice on the field, from his tucked-in jersey and cleanly combed hair all the way down to his shoes.

“Everything has to be perfect,” Trojans coach DuWayne Ke said. “If it’s not perfect, he’s not happy.”

But don’t be fooled, Echalas has the attitude of a defensive player and during the BIIF eight-man football season he showed he clearly doesn’t mind getting down and dirty.

“Definitely not,” he said.

As for his attitude, he’s unassuming – consider the linebacker’s reaction Wednesday when he learned he’d been named BIIF Defensive Player of the Year, as selected by the Hawaii Tribune-Herald and West Hawaii Today.

“Really? … Wow,” he said. “What do I have to do?”

Nothing – his work is done here.

Because of the wide-open nature of eight-man, defenses have precious little room for error, so premiums are put on fundamentally sound players who can keep contain, execute assignments and tackle in space.

The Trojans were stout up front, defensive lineman Manu Kalua-Keliikoa and Keala Liu also made all-BIIF along with defensive back Zachary Kai, who doubled up, making all-league running back on offense as well.

Echalas, however, was the key man in the middle as the Trojans (5-1) won their third BIIF title in four seasons. Ka’u kept Pahoa standout Keala Harris in check in the championship game, allowing only 42 points during a five-game league winning streak.

“When we needed a stop, he got it,” Ke said. “We could count on him.”

Echalas also chipped in on offense, primarily at running back. In 2016, he made his first big mark for Ka’u when he stepped in at quarterback in the first half of the BIIF title game and set the tone for a win against Kohala.

But he prefers defense.

“It’s just more physical than offense,” Echalas said, “where you have to have a lot of skill.

“Defense is more about instinct.”

It didn’t always come naturally for Echalas, who started playing football as a seventh-grader with Pop Warner’s Ka’u Lions.

“I didn’t know how to play and we weren’t very good,” he said. “Back then it was just about having fun.”

The fun never stopped, but along the way the Trojans learned not just the game but how to win.

“It was all about team chemistry (this year) because most of us played on that Pop Warner team.

“It wasn’t just me. Everybody had a place and I trusted my teammates. The guys up front opened up lanes so I could see more.”

Also making all-BIIF were Pahoa defensive lineman Josiah Waiolama, linebacker Kai Martin and defensive back Harris – the co-Offensive Player of the Year – and Kohala’s Dayten James-Foree, a linebacker and Augie Skelton, a defensive back.

Ke is the Coach of the Year, and Echalas gave special recognition to Trojans defensive coordinator Daryl Shibuya.

“He pushed me into doing good in school and in football.”

A note of praise for the SYMS Program

July 28, 2016

To Wolfeboro Friends of Music,

Please pass on my gratitude to the Friends of Music for granting my daughter a scholarship to attend SYMS Jr last year. If you had not offered the scholarship, it is likely we would not have known about the program, and she might not have embraced saxophone playing as she does today with so much love and enthusiasm.

She did not apply for the scholarship again this year because we wanted someone else to experience what she did. She did however go back for a second year, and loved every minute of it. To give you an example of her enthusiasm: She now wants to learn how to play the soprano sax! Yikes!

Thank you so much for helping to enrich my daughter’s music education, and I hope you continue to provide this service to others.

A Grateful Mom

Snow comes to an end, deep-freeze begins - WFSB 3 Connecticut

Snow comes to an end, deep-freeze begins

As the snow from Winter Storm Chester comes to an end, bitter cold air will begin to tighten its grip on Connecticut.

Total snowfall accumulations ranged from 1 to 4 inches in northwestern Connecticut to 6 to 12 inches to the south and east of Hartford.

The greater Hartford area only received between 2 to 4 inches of snow from Chester.

As the snow finally makes it exit, the next big weather story is going to be the bitter cold. The sun is expected to make an appearance on Wednesday but that won't do much good, Channel 3 Early Warning Weather Meteorologist Scot Haney said.

Highs on Wednesday will only make it into the teens across most of the state, and the wind chill will frequently make it feel like it's below zero.

On Wednesday night, the mercury will drop below zero in most towns.

The deep freeze is expected to remain in Connecticut for the remainder of the work week with high temperatures will be in the teens to 20, and low temperatures will range from negative 10 to 10.

Because of the cold weather that's expected, Gov. Dannel Malloy announced Monday that he has activated the state's Severe Cold Weather Protocol, directing state agencies to coordinate with 211 and the state's network of shelters to ensure that the state's most vulnerable people are protected from the severe cold weather.

"Throughout the winter season, we continue to take the necessary steps to make sure that we can take care of those in need of shelter, especially our state's most vulnerable populations," Malloy said in a statement. "I urge anyone in need of shelter to call 211 and encourage local communities to consider opening warming centers or other facilities to help people in need."

Check out the full list of closings and delays here

During the state's Severe Cold Weather Protocol, state officials activate an internet-based system that will allow local, state and regional emergency management officials and first responders to share up-to-date information about a variety of situations and conditions.

The system is also used to monitor capacity at shelters across the state and will assist 211 in finding shelters for those who need one.

How to make a mobile screen recorded video with music ideal for twitter

After reading this post, you will be able to make your own screen recorded video, add music and share wherever you like.

In this example, I spotted something (like Essex Police on twitter reaching 200 accounts) and thought - how can I easily and quickly make something worthwhile and timely to tell this story. Something to look back in a while (in this example, Essex Police on twitter had about 104 accounts at the start of 2015, so 200 on 29 Oct 16 is a landmark).

Step One .. Have a idea and visualise it. In my mind's eye I saw a dark screen, scrolling photos and text, all set to bouncy dramatic music on a 16;9 widescreen format. I had a desired outcome of a twitter video, and if that failed, a youtube video. Twitter videos can only be (for regular users) a maximum of 140 secs (2mins 20 secs).

Step Two .. Record the mobile screen. On an android nexus 7 tablet, I opened the twitter app and in settings, selected 'Night Mode' which makes the screen turn dark (geeks can look here for the hex colors).

After having a little scroll with the twitter list, I was ready to start recording using the brilliant, and it is brilliant, AZ Screen Recorder. I used 30fps at 1280x720p, turned of Mic, and scrolled knowing three twitter users would be on screen at a time. I also counted in my head '4 seconds' so as to have audience able to read said text, as it stays put for a little while. Stopped record and was left with a video file 5:54 mins in length at a size of 199mb. I transferred this using USB cable to my win10 Lenovo laptop. I knew 5:54 was far too long, but ploughed ahead knowing I could easily fix it later.

Step Three .. Music Choice. Next, I visited:, selecting filters of Genre/Cinematic and Mood/Dramatic where Warrior Strife (at 1:23mins) was 2nd on the list, clicked download, thus saving file to laptop hard drive. I will say, you can spend hours in youtube music looking for and listen to music - there are 1,000s of tracks and all are pretty good. Just train yourself to get a feel for what yo need (hence Step One above).

Step Four has two parts: A, Desktop and B, Mobile/Tablet

Step Four A, Desktop .. Vegas 13 Video editor. I open a new project, added video and music track on time. Then trimmed start and end of track, cropped in a little to lose the mobile header, arranged the audio. Simple math will tell you a video of 5:54 and music of 1:23 does not fit, not to worry.

I added at marker at 2:20 on the timeline, knowing that's where I wanted the final time of the completed video to end. Using mouse, click video, hold down control and drag to the left, and bingo, video is now perfectly aligned, now playing at 2.4x faster speed (by counting those 4 secs in my head at time of recording, speeding up by 2.4 means the audience will still get 1.6sec to read text).

I use a 11 frame fade in, so added those to video/audio and duplicated the audio track. Dragged 2nd audio track to end of timeline, adjusted for fade out and then craftily mixed both tracks together (at 1:06 for 1 second - if done well, audience should not notice). Quick preview to watch and listen - then render video, saving as a mp4 video file at 29fps, 89mb, 2:19 in length.

Step Four B, Mobile/Tablet .. Using the AZ Screen Recorder brilliant new video editing tool, trim video, add audio and save. I believe at time of writing, AZ editor does not have a video speed controller, so record screen at less than 2 mins 20 secs (if you need to share to twitter). All simple math really.

Step Five .. Adjust file and Share/Upload. Depending on your upload bandwidth is whether you use a tool like Handbrake (open source video transcoder) to reduce file size. I used it this time leaving a file of 59.5mb 1280x720p.

For whatever reason, uploading twitter videos on desktop seems to fail in processing for me, so being a guy who just gets on with doing something as fast as possible, I knew using USB cable to transfer video file to Moto E mobile, then tweeting would have a greater, and faster element of success.

Step Six .. Tweet it. Not much to say here about from added video to a tweet, slid the blue bar to select all 2:19, wrote a few lines of text and waited, this took a few mins. And bingo again, we are done. The tweet read, 'Celebrating 200 Twitter accounts for @EssexPoliceUK set to music ..

As a backup, I uploaded the video to youtube as well. It's embedded below.

Resource List: Nexus 7, Moto E (both on android). Lenovo G50 15.6 Laptop on win10. AZ Screen Recorder No Root App. YouTube Audio Music Library. Twitter with Night Mode. And a little imagination.

Although this example uses a twitter list from the police, the theory in this post, will apply to making ANY kind of screen recorded videos. If you prefer, just use AZ screen recorded with Microphone and/or webcam turned on and make one video in one take - very easy to do.

This post can also be used in support of UK Police using Smart Phones and Social Media together to create resources for themselves or the to engage with the public. Most smart phones these days are using very fast quad core processors, so they are more likely to be MORE POWERFUL and FASTER than your desktop computer.

Get stuck or want to ask a question, get hold of me and I promise to give you my best answer.

Food & Game Pairing: Toon!

Case Study: Toon : The Cartoon Roleplaying Game

  • Genre: Comedy
  • Races: any species (Human or Animal) or object (Robots and Toasters and things like that)
  • Main Setting: the animated world where gravity only works when you think about it and physics are flexible at best.
  • Setup: Anything goes as long as it’s funny!

Who wouldn’t want to find themselves smack dab in the middle of their very own Looney Tunes adventure? Steve Jackson Games has given you the opportunity to do just that with Toon. You pick a species, an occupation, roll up your character in terms of Muscle, Zip, Smarts and Chutzpah and roll up your hit points. You can pick a Natural Enemy and use various skills against them. Not to kill them–there is no death in Toon–just to “knock them down” when they’re out of hit points. They sit out for 3 minutes and then jump right back into the fray.

The best food for a game like this is FUN food! Sure, all food should be fun but, let’s be honest, it isn’t always. I also think this is the perfect opportunity for a pie-party. Everything in a crust of some sort. Chicken Pot Pie becomes Roadrunner Pie, Shepard’s Pie becomes Sheep-in-Wolves-Clothing Pie, play a little Duck Season-Rabbit Season with the Game Pie of your choice. Try some Empanadas for Speedy G’s Hand Pies. And, of course, don’t forget any variety of dessert pies (French Silk with a stripe down the center for your favorite skunk, Lemon Meringue for the Tweetie fans, etc.) with plenty of whipped cream. And, hey, if a little gets tossed around in faces–no harm, no foul.

In pictures: Arctic exploration tech

10 May 2011

This article was taken from the June 2011 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.

The Catlin Arctic Survey sends international teams of explorers and scientists to some of the world's harshest conditions. At the Ice Base off the western coast of Ellef Ringnes Island, their mission is to gather scientific data on environmental change in the Arctic, particularly of the sort that satellites or submarines can't access or accurately measure. Previous surveys measured ice thickness and ocean acidification -- this year's will examine freshwater currents beneath the surface of Arctic Ocean ice to help understand their effect on bottom-up ice melting, which is disrupting global ocean circulation.

The team's equipment needs to be tough enough to withstand temperatures as low as -45°C. Wired unpacks the scientist's sled.

Effective Networking in a One-Horse Town

By Linsey Knerl on 24 June 2008 6 comments
Photo: velcrodobes

[Editor's note:  If you recently lost your job, take a look at Wise Bread's collection of tips and resources for the recently laid off.]

My dad still conducts business via “a handshake and a smile” and prides himself on being a man of his word. Similarly, many of the business people in my rural township enjoy meeting potential business partners and clients (preferably over a cup of coffee) prior to even discussing a deal. This can make networking a bit of a challenge, as time doesn’t always permit for long courting sessions before making a pitch. There are some very unique ways to make quality contacts in a small town, however, and they are really as simple as they seem.

Know your Chamber. The Chamber of Commerce exists in most small towns. They usually consist of the most prominent business people and represent generations of business partnerships. What better way to get to know business folk than with a nice meal and some casual banter? Check your local paper for the head of your local Chamber and see how you can join. Even if you don’t get any solid leads from the members themselves, you will get the scoop on everything and everyone in the community (and this can mean early entry into potential deals.)

Post Flyers (Really). Many small towns still allow flyers to be pinned to the bulletin boards near the entrances and exits of their busiest storefronts. Public libraries, senior centers and municipal buildings will usually allow you to post your contact info or service descriptions simply by asking. Be sure to provide “tear-off” tags so that they can take your info with you!

Join the Festivities. Getting the word out about your service or product may be as simple as attending a party. If everyone in town is hyped about the next rodeo, charity fundraiser, farmer’s market or bicentennial bash, be sure to show up! Bring lots of business cards, sponsor a booth, or walk the parade route with goodies in tow. Small towners love to know who their neighbors are, and if you can make your business stand out, they’ll ask for you by name!

Offer a Free Service. The best way to get business is to give something away. This is especially helpful for products or services that may not be seen as “necessary” to a community. Looking to sell web services? Give the school district 15 hours of design services in exchange for a good word. Do you work on cars? Offer a simple “how-to” class to local moms on how to monitor tire pressure and fix a flat. If you can seem valuable to a community, they will come to you.

Take Advantage of Cheap Advertising. Do you know the difference between a ¼ page ad in my local paper and the nearest metro paper? I’m not completely sure, but it could be anywhere from several hundred to $1000. Market to those closest to you with the medium they read the most. Invest in local ads that will be seen by everyone in your small town. Get listed in your local business directory. Don’t skimp on the even the least-circulated publishings.

Don’t Screw Up. You know the saying that it takes a whole boat-load of good deeds to make up for one bad one, don’t you? This holds especially true for smaller communities. Do one bad job, and you’re looking at a really hard road ahead. Take your time to be sure that you understand what is expected of you before you fulfill your agreement. Follow up to be sure the client is happy. Don’t be afraid to make good on a misunderstanding immediately.

Ask for Referrals. The flip side of the previous rule is perhaps the sweetest part of doing business locally. If you made someone very happy with your skills, ask if they know of anyone they could refer to you! The best businesses have a whole community behind them and willing to give repeat business. Trust is still your best networking tool.

As with anyone, I enjoy the high-tech and worldwide scope that the internet and social media has given me and my business. Even the most connected of entrepreneurs know how to keep it close to home, however. If your neighbors and friends don’t know what you do, isn’t it time that you told them?

Great post Linsey! I just read “Get Noticed, Get Referrals” by Jill Lublin. She elaborates on the same things you suggest...The title of the book is a bit misleading in that she discusses a lot more just business referrals…she explains building and deepening relationships in painstaking detail, she gives specific advice on how to network through professional groups and local events, all by way of a systematic approach. I don’t see how even the most inexperienced couldn’t build their client base using Jill’s techniques. If you want more brilliant business tips from Jill, you can sign up for her free newsletter and be notified about special promotions happening this week with thousands of give-aways.

Networking is not in what you know but who you know. Telling people about what you do can also make it easier for them to bring it up in a conversation.

Guest's picture

In my offline life, I do a lot of this old fashioned type of networking. Another useful thing to do is keep up with local media. Local newspapers have a loyal readership and you can get a lot of clues about how to pitch things when you make that first call.

Guest's picture

I grew up in a very small town where this was an issue. My Dad used to network not only through the local chamber of commerce, but also through church, volunteer organizations, and the local Rotary Club.

Linsey Knerl's picture

It's not surprising the very kind feedback from readers today!  (I especially enjoyed the link to Jill's book.) The more I learn, the simpler things become (isn't that how everything is?)

Fred Lee's picture

Nice work, Linsey. Having lived in the ultimate big towns of LA and NY, I have to admit I like and prefer the way things are done in a small town. Besides, it usually means your doing business with friends and neighbors, and you generally know where they live. And you can't beat it when they know what you want before you ask for it.

In Praise of Complainers: Why Complaining Is Good

By Kentin Waits on 25 April 2012 4 comments
Photo: RHR-NA

Have you ever been out for dinner with someone who won’t complain? Regardless of how terrible the service or remarkably bad the food, your companion just shrugs or sheepishly makes an excuse on behalf of the waitstaff or chef? It happens all the time. The dry cleaner who turns your cashmere cardigan into a very expensive sweater for a teacup poodle. The pizza delivery guy who drops off a cardboard Frisbee covered in tomato sauce. The car repair shop that transforms a “clink-clink-clink” sound into a “clank-thud-gasp.” Everything and everyone gets a free pass. (See also: How to Get What You Want on Customer Service Calls)

Some might argue that these non-complainers are just more peaceable creatures, naturally disinclined to offend or make waves. But I assert that they’re wreaking havoc at every turn and contributing to mediocrity. You see, done right, complaining can be quite wonderful and productive. Here’s why.

It Shows You’re Not a Passive Consumer

Complaining shows you’re an actively engaged customer, conscious about service and concerned about value. It helps combat that perception that consumers are sheep and will follow the herd no matter how underwhelming the experience.

It Implies That You’re Vocal

Complaining suggests to businesses that you’re not only aware, but vocal. When there’s a problem, you’ll call it out; when you’re expectations are exceeded, you’ll recommend the business to friends.

It Communicates a Certain Expectation of Quality and Satisfaction

The baseline for all businesses should be to meet their customers’ expectations. Smart businesses go one step further and try to delight their patrons. Pointing out issues when they occur simply communicates that you’re paying attention — that you’re aware of the unspoken agreement between business and customers and understand what the baseline should be.

It Tends to Improve Quality for Other Consumers

Complainers speak on behalf of all customers. Problems are sometimes isolated incidents, but in some cases they’re chronic. Voicing dissatisfaction can wake management from its stupor and benefit service and quality for everyone.

It Calls Attention to Issues That May Not Be Noticed by Management

Consumer passivity can sometimes let dangerous or unhealthy situations persist. For example, making a business aware of undercooked chicken, a saggy step, or a lead-footed delivery driver can help it avoid potentially costly issues later.

How to Make Constructive Complaints

Vocalizing dissatisfaction can be cathartic, but there’s a fine line between constructive complaining and angry venting. It’s always best to avoid making any situation personal. Keep your complaints rooted in calmness and focused on a solution. Whether you’re giving feedback directly to a staff person or a manager, frame your conversation by first answering these fundamental questions:

  1. What’s the issue?
  2. What were your reasonable expectations?
  3. How were your expectations not met?
  4. Were there any unusual or extenuating circumstances not within the business's control?
  5. What would resolve the situation?

Remember, keep things civil. Even if you’re hitting a brick wall and getting no satisfaction, rising above the situation will always serve you best in the long run. That doesn’t mean you can’t escalate the situation; it just means you may need to go a different route.

Complaining gets a bad rap in our modern world. We’re so busy, so plugged in, and so afraid of offending someone that we sometimes forget the power of a little righteous indignation. Stopping to talk about our experiences — good or bad — gives voice to others and (hopefully) makes things better for the next person.

Do you have a friend who won't complain? What have they suffered through to avoid confrontation?

I'll admit that a lot of the time if my level of dissatisfaction is low or unimportant, I'll mostly keep my complaints to myself. However, if I believe there was a blatant disregard for my (as a customer) needs without any regret for my dissatisfaction, I will certainly voice my opinion. As I get older I hope to become more assertive in this area, as complaining not only does all the things you listed here (makes management aware, and possibly improving for other consumers) it can also get you much farther in certain situations, for a much lower costs. My friend is a major complainer, and he always seems to land awesome deals and upgrades from customer service. I do however think some people are way too harsh sometimes, especially on servers at restaurants who actually have nothing to do with how the food was prepared.

"I do however think some people are way too harsh sometimes, especially on servers at restaurants who actually have nothing to do with how the food was prepared."

Agreed! I think constructive complaining is great, but I have a huge dislike for people who take their anger out on the wrong people.

Guest's picture

ah yes, but i've asked the water co. for a new cover to go over the hole (that's 2 feet deep) in my yard...several times...THEY DESERVE MY WRATH, but i'm going to be nice at the water co. meeting 2moro night...hubby wants to know if he needs to get bail money together

Julie Rains's picture

Well done, I complain b/c of the reasons you mentioned. I really am trying to look out for other people, not just myself. Also, I don't try to just explain how someone failed to meet my expectations but I point out how he/she failed to meet company or regulatory standards (meaning, I typically research what the standard is before lodging a complaint; it's a geeky approach but I like to make sure I know what I am talking about first and that really helps solidify my position).

And, yes, I know people who won't complain and yes, it's a problem! Sometimes these problems are perpetuated over and over, and the problem doesn't get fixed because, well, no one complains. So, those who are hesitating, get your facts together and then go ahead and say something, if not for yourself then for others.

Live Long and Prosper With These 15 Small Healthy Habits

By Tara Struyk on 7 October 2013 2 comments

In the United States, men can expect to live 76 years on average, while women tend to live for 81 years. Of course, both those numbers are just averages. In practical terms, what that means is that some people will live well in into their nineties, while others barely make it to their sixties. (See also: 7 Frugal Habits That Add Years to Your Life)

I doubt I need to ask you which group you'd prefer to fall into. The good news is, we all have some measure of control over our lifespans, and we have a whole lot of control over our health. You can't live forever, but how you choose to live day-to-day will determine whether you live as long as possible — and whether you're fit and healthy enough to have a good time while you're here. Here are 15 tiny changes that can make a big difference.

1. Add Veggies

Scientists might argue about how good or bad coffee is for you. Or fat. Or wheat. Forget about those and focus on what no one's arguing about: the benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables. One study found that the risk of heart disease dropped by up to 7% for each additional fruit consumed each day. Another found that doubling fruit and vegetable intake increased life expectancy by as much as a year and a half. Add a serving or two. It does a body good. (See also: Guide to Choosing Fruits and Vegetables)

Start small: Try adding one serving to a meal where you tend to miss out, or sub in fruits and veggies for less-healthy snacks.

2. Cut the Junk

It tastes so good, but processed convenience foods contain ingredients that are linked to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. And they always contain some potent combination of sugar, salt, fat, and flour. If you can't find it in the perimeter of your grocery store, where the fresh foods are kept (or, better yet, at the farmer's market!), don't make it a regular part of your diet.

Start small: Buy junk food in single servings. When you have a craving, visit the ice cream shop for a scoop, rather than bringing home a whole pint.

3. Save More

Money can buy a lot of things, including, it seems, a longer lifespan. A study released in 2010 found that wealthy people have more of the specific hormones that that prolong life expectancy. Not everyone can be filthy rich, but anyone can make smart moves that lead to long-term financial security. Do it as though your life depends on it — because it might. (See also: How to Become FInancial Secure)

Start small: Start putting away $5 a week. You can increase that amount as you get into the habit.

4. Have More Sex

Sex is fun, it's free, and it does the body good. And studies show it has a long list of health benefits ranging from fewer colds to an improved sense of smell (really!). What other motivation do you need?

Start small: C'mon, you know what to do.

5. Watch Less TV

TV producers have upped their game in recent years. Some of the new television dramas are as addictive as any drug — and especially hard to resist when you're able to download them all through services like Netflix. You must be strong; a 2010 study found that people who spend more than four hours in front of the tube each day were 46% more likely to die than people who watched less than two hours. That brand-new season of "Mad Men" will just have to wait.

Start small: If you can't give it up altogether, choose a show you love, watch it, and then hit the off button.

6. Drink More Wine

Red wine, that is. Hundreds of studies have found that a compound in red wine called resveratrol (when consumed in moderation) can help us live longer, healthier lives, and slow down age-related illnesses. Those who love the stuff might also say it makes life worth living.

Start small: Find a few tasty, affordable wines you love and enjoy!

7. Floss Your Teeth

There is some evidence that the stinky bacteria between your teeth can contribute to your risk of heart disease and heart attack. Plus, if you're working on Tip 4, this healthy habit is a must. (See also: How to Avoid Expensive Dental Problems)

Start small: It only takes a minute. Just do it!

8. Get a Pet

Maybe Fifi pees on the rug from time to time, but it's totally worth it — a furry friend can really boost your lifespan. In 2011, researchers at the American Psychological Association found that pet owners had better self esteem and were more fit, less lonely, and more extroverted than their pet-free peers. Both dogs and cats have been found to have benefits. No word yet on other furry, scaly, feathered, or fish friends, but if they make you happy, they probably do some good.

Start small: Try pet-sitting or volunteering at an animal shelter. You'll get all the cuddles — without the commitment.

9. See the Doctor

You don't have to become a hypochondriac, but certain types of health screenings are recommended for men and women in certain age groups. This can help ensure you get the treatment you need for serious conditions such as high blood pressure and cancers. The other option is to wait and see whether they kill you. Your choice.

Start small: Start with an annual check-up. Your doctor will fill you in on which screenings are appropriate for you.

10. Take More Vitamin D

The jury's still out on whether people should supplement their diets with vitamins, but vitamin D is one supplement most health organizations now recommend. Low levels of this vitamin have been linked to lower immune function, increased mortality, and a long list of other health issues.

Start small: Most health experts have settled on 1,000 mg per day as the dosage of choice. (Check with your doctor, of course.)

11. Make More Friends

Being lonely increases stress hormones and inflammation in the body. And that is very bad for both your physical and mental health. Plus, if there's anything that'll make you feel younger, it's old friends. (And by that I mean friends you've had for a long time!)

Start small: Join a MeetUp group, sports team, or other activity to help you meet people.

12. Get More Exercise...

You don't have to start putting in hours every day training for an ironman. What the most recent studies show is that some exercise is better than no exercise.

Start small: Head out for a quick walk or do a few pushups. You'll be fitter when you're done!

13. ...and More Sleep

You know when you're all snuggled up in bed and it feels so absolutely amazing? That isn't because you're indulging; it's because your body needs sleep. To live. If you regularly get less than six hours per night, research says you'll die (sooner).

Start small: Get into bed 15-20 minutes earlier each night until you're feeling rested in the morning.

14. Worry Less

If you're a worrier, you've probably been told by someone not to "worry yourself to death." That isn't hyperbole. Serious long-term worrying reduces your life expectancy on a molecular level. That means coping with stress and worry — and removing some of the things in your life that contribute to it — could be one the best things you ever do for your health.

Start small: Make a list of what's bothering you. Then either do something about it or let it go.

15. Embrace Getting Old

Maybe you'd be content to just survive getting old, or even accept it, but no, scientists say the key to living longer is embracing your age. In fact, one study showed that people who had a positive attitude about aging lived seven years longer than those who didn't. I bet they had way more fun too.

Start small: Seek out other active, happy people of all ages. It's contagious!

How many of these healthy habits have you already formed? Which ones will you try?

Lots of good health habits. Of course I'm partial to #4, but unfortunately, also have to embrace #15. I used to pretend I was like someone perpetually in his 20s. But now that I have chronic health issues, I have to act more my age. Oh well, at least I'm closer to retirement.

Tara Struyk's picture

Ha! Great comment. I wouldn't give up on the 20s though. Denial is a powerful potion. Actually, I should have included that too!

Stave out for Spring, Gillins getting reps - WKOW 27: Madison, WI Breaking News, Weather and Sports

Stave out for Spring, Gillins getting reps

Posted: Updated:
MADISON (WKOW) - Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave did not practice Tuesday and has been shut down for the rest of spring. Stave is working his way back from a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the Capital One Bowl on January 1.

With Stave out, Tanner McEvoy, Bart Houston and D.J. Gillins will get plenty of reps in Wisconsin's Spring Game on Saturday. Gillins is a true freshman out of Florida, who enrolled at UW early. He's a dual threat QB, who says the toughest part of the college game is adjusting to audibles.

While the starting quarterback position is still Stave's to lose, the other three QBs can certainly close the gap with a quality performance on Saturday. The Spring Game is Saturday, April 12 at 3pm at Camp Randall Stadium.

Family of foxes on campus educational, eye-catching - WKOW 27: Madison, WI Breaking News, Weather and Sports

Family of foxes on campus educational, eye-catching

Posted: Updated:
MADISON (WKOW) -- A family of red foxes has become a fixture on the UW-Madison campus, contributing to scientific research, and becoming an attractions for dozens of students.

The frequent sighting of the vixen and her eight young, known as kits, has led to an area on Linden Drive being roped off, to protect their den. Associate professor in forest and wildlife ecology David Drake tells 27 News students in droves have assembled along the ropes to watch the foxes romp and play on the grassy area near the den, seemingly undisturbed by all the watching eyes.

Drake says the fox family arrived on campus last fall, with the kits born in late February.

He says red foxes have adapted to urban environments.

Senior student Holly Hovanec took the presence of the foxes as an opportunity to expand a research project on coyotes, ot include foxes.  Hovanec was able to place a radio-tracking collar  on the male fox of the group.  The collar and the campus presence of the family have allowed Hovanec to study their habitat, interactions, and travels.

Drake says the male fox was killed Friday, when hit by a car some four miles from the den on University Avenue. Drake says vehicle traffic is one of the foremost risks for red foxes, as they adopt more urban settings.

Drake says the vixen and the kits continue to appear at various times on campus, but especially on the grass near their adopted campus home. Drake says in a few months, the vixen will push her maturing kits out of her territory as the kits begin to establish themselves as adults.

Another measure of the foxes' celebrity is the UW's School of Human Ecology's Facebook effort to name the foxes.

ATF kept out of the loop after Navy Yard shooting

MGN Online

WASHINGTON (AP) - Within hours of the Navy Yard shootings, the FBI was tracing the gunman's recent purchase of a shotgun, sending agents to the shop in northern Virginia where he bought it - and leaving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives out of the loop.

The surprising snub between top U.S. law enforcement agencies comes as the ATF struggles to show its relevance in Washington.

The ATF is the federal agency in charge of tracing traces guns used in crimes, including the military-style semi-automatic rifle used in a rampage at a Connecticut school last year, a similar rifle used in the deadly shooting at a Colorado movie theater and a handgun used to kill six people and critically wound a congresswoman, among others, outside a grocery store in Tucson, Ariz.

In nod to Spain, Alaska's largest city holds first reindeer run - WMC Action News 5 - Memphis, Tennessee

In nod to Spain, Alaska's largest city holds first reindeer run

(NBC News) (NBC News)

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - From sausages to stews, reindeer are usually a main dish in Alaska.

But the antlered animals were the main event at Anchorage's first annual running of the reindeer.

A cheering crowd of hundreds lined snow-packed Fourth Avenue Sunday to watch what was touted as Alaska's version of Spain's famed running of the bulls.

"Normally we just eat them," said Mark Berg, a spectator who has lived in Alaska since 1967. "I just made some jambalaya the other day out of reindeer sausage. I've eaten more of their cousins than they want to know."

Seven little reindeer, looking a bit bewildered, stood next to their handlers as a crowd of roughly 1,000 costumed runners chatted excitedly at the start.

The reindeer were lined up behind the first heat of runners - several hundred women in costume. One had taped a paper bulls-eye to her back. Others masqueraded as carrots and lichen, both favorite foods of reindeer.

At the signal to go, the reindeer stampeded into the crowd. Passing tourist shops, the downtown federal building and a stand selling reindeer hotdogs, the animals were well out in front by the halfway point.

"We thought, 'Ok, they're just going to mosey along,' but they took off running," said Amanda Pelkola, who dressed as a carrot with a friend. "We got smoked by the reindeer."

Why elite athletes should plan their post-sport career now – and how

A career in sport is so all consuming, and so totally demanding that it can be hard to think past it – to consider, what comes next? Retirement from sport is still a taboo subject, despite the unavoidable truth that every sportsperson will have to fold up their Lycra one day. It’s like it’s an unlucky totem – if you even think about it, might it hasten the end of your career?

But here at Moving Ahead we’ve seen that athletes who plan for career success after sport actually perform better and more consistently when they are still competing.

It’s true that athletes who don’t plan a ‘second life’ are highly susceptible to depression. To be an elite athlete you need to have an addictive personality, perhaps an obsession with perfection. When all your energies have been ploughed in to one sole focus for your entire formative years, no wonder an athlete’s personal identity is so tied up with their sport. They will have made major life choices – which university they go to, what friends they prioritise in their limited time off, and which family events they could attend. Huge sacrifices will have been made. And when sport is gone, what’s left?

This is an experience that Moving Ahead’s Monica Relph, former GB rower, can understand.

She said: “When you’re training every day and so consumed with the next trial or race,  you can’t think past it. When rowing was going well I didn’t think about life beyond sport, but when it wasn’t or I was injured, I would be more open to considering what would come next.

“It was hard to accept that I had put the same amount of time, energy and passion into the sport as my friends, but couldn’t call myself an Olympian because of my injury.

“I finally realised that me being angry wasn’t going to affect anyone but me. It was hard to settle in to work but it wasn’t just that – I was having to create a new identity for myself that I could be as proud of as when I was a full-time athlete competing for my country.

“When you stop, you miss the physical training, your friends and the dopamine kick of competition. You can feel lost. Something I’ve found useful is the realisation that you can use all the experience of being an elite athlete and transfer that into the world of work.”

And new research from the University of Stirling proves this link is good for employers as well as athletes. Dr David Lavallee has taken the findings from 1,500 athletes in comparison to a control group, and his evidence demonstrates that athletes have higher employability potential than non-athletes. Not only do they bring a commitment to excellence into work, they also fire up colleagues to be more productive. They feel more confident to carry out a broader and proactive role in the workplace, they are more forward-thinking and change-oriented than non-athletes and they are skilled a ‘job crafting’ – redesigning their jobs to foster positive outcomes.

Elite athletes are institutionalised in the sense that their nutrition, training, clothing, even their sleep patterns have been set down and agreed by a committee of coaches. They are likely to have been surviving on Lottery funding and are unlikely to have much extra set aside. And what about personal relationships? Athletes who retire are likely to have any partnerships seriously tested by the life change. Finally – where will they get that adrenalin rush of competition from now that life is over? At Moving Ahead we’ve seen time and again that finding challenging work is the key to overcoming the hurdles that transitioning athletes face as they redesign their identities.

An Athlete Futures careers fair on 1 November in Coventry has been organised by Moving Ahead on behalf of UK Sport and in conjunction with the British Olympic Association, the British Paralympic Association and the English Institute of Sport to help athletes secure a fulfilling future after their sports career ends. More than 40 organisations are attending the event armed with tangible opportunities such as job shadowing, mentoring, internships and full-time employment. It’s free for elite athletes to attend and we would love to meet you there.

Athletes, companies, organisations and education providers that would like to attend the event can contact Monica Relph at Moving Ahead on 01189 406828 or monica@moving-ahead.org.

11 Ways to Monetize Your Blog - Work at Home Trust - Work at Home Trust

11 Ways to Monetize Your Blog - Work at Home Trust

You've been blogging for some time and now you're ready to start making money from your blog. But there's only one problem; you have no idea how to go about doing that. Well, as long as you're realistic and not looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, monetizing your blog should be fairly simple. Here are eleven ways you could do that.

Sell your services
If you absolutely love writing, you could offer freelance writing on your blog under a tab titled "Work with Me" for example. Give a detailed description of the service you can over and a contact email to be reached at. You can offer any other services you are good at.

Freelance writing on other blogs
There are many companies and other bloggers looking for contributors to their sites. You can go to writing freelance sites such as ProBlogger and Contena to look for writing gigs. Guest posts are usually free because the guest writer gains from the experience of being exposed to a new audience. It also increases the authenticity of their blog resulting in higher ranking in Google Search (SEO). But, you may find some paying guest posts. That's another way to make money from your blogging experience.

Sell images
Bloggers always need images for their content. Although there are many free image sites, many bloggers look for unique images to stand out above all the free ones going from blogger to blogger. You can display some samples on your blog, include it in your subscribers' freebies, and sell some directly from your blog. You can also sell them on platforms like BigStock, GettyImages, or AdobeStock.

Sell online courses
This is a very popular one among bloggers. You can sell e-courses through your email newsletter using email marketing tools such as AWeber and GetResponse. AWeber even has a free guide PDF book on What to Write in Your Emails. If you prefer using a third-party tool where there's a bigger audience, you can try Teachable.

Sell e-books
Sell your ebooks on your blog or Amazon Kindle to take your expertise to the next level. You don't have to start with a 300-page book. Most people probably don't have time to read all of that. Keep it simple, straightforward, and easy to read. Many bloggers sell 'cheat sheets' where they simplify a book into just bullet lists. It's attention-grabbing and almost imposes a call to action. I personally prefer reading such ebooks because they are quick and effective.

Once you've established your expertise and have gained online trust, consider coaching others who need step by step guide to the knowledge you possess. You can also offer consultation to answer people's questions.

Affiliate marketing
You've probably heard of affiliate marketing by now. Read my free mini e-book where I talk about what affiliate marketing is, how it is done, and the difference between affiliate marketing and referral programs.

Recommending your favorite courses
You can recommend other bloggers' online courses that you've taken and benefitted from. Receive a commission per sale.

Allow others to recommend your products
If you have e-courses, ebooks, or tangible products that you'd like to sell faster, allow your happy buyers to recommend your products to their friends and readers in exchange for a commission on every sale. SendOwl is a tool many bloggers use to sell their digital products and create affiliate links at the same time.

Put ads on your blog
Not every blogger would recommend putting ads on your blog, but you have the option to do so and earn passive income. With ads, you usually get paid for the number of visitors who see the ads or click on them. Some ad programs require the publisher to have a certain number of visitors per month on their blog, but there are also those that have no requirements as long as there's no violation of their terms. Two very easy ones to join are Google AdSense and MediaNet.

Share all blog activities on social media
Last but not least, share your blog posts on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Share on multiple platforms, but try not to overwhelm yourself. Two to three social media pages should be more than enough in the beginning. The purpose of this is to expose your blog to more readers and of course to potential clients as well.

I hope you found this post useful. If you're a blogger, do you monetize your blog? If so, how? If not, what's holding you back? I would love to hear from you!

My Most Recommended Resources for Bloggers

If you love blogging and would like to also monetize on it, one of the best things to start with is affiliate marketing. ShareASale allows you to have access to some of your favorite resources that you would love to share with your readers. The good part is, you also make a percentage of purchased items without the buyer paying anything extra! Basically, you get rewarded for exposing awesome resources to others!

Media.Net is one of the BEST alternatives to Google AdSense. It is very easy to set up by simply copying and pasting codes on your preferred spots on your blog. Not only that, the ads respond very well to the content of your blog. If there's anything you don't want to see, you can take it out. Media.Net may be new on the block, but it can easily compete with AdSense and even provide you with more revenue.

If you need an easy image editor with stunning free images, Desyner will be your best friend! for some reasons, I haven't seen many bloggers recommending this tool. It is very similar to Canva, so I'm not yet sure which of the two is my favorite. You don't have to be a graphic designer to easily put a gorgeous image together. It is easy to save your projects and even download images in PNG for free (something missing in Canva). There's also a premium plan which is very affordable and comes with more features.

If you aren't new to reading blogs, then you must have come across many bloggers recommending Grammarly. Let me tell you, they're right! Making typos is human; Grammarly helps minimize your mistakes by editing all your writings for free! Of course, if you want better and more features, there's also the premium plan.

Some of the links may be affiliate links. Please read my full *Disclosure* for more information.

Dreams 20040525, 6:55 AM: Campground Moths, Packed-In House, Fountain Work

These were much longer in the dreaming than what I can remember; I wasn’t able to write them down immediately when I woke, so they’re kind of blurred. But some of the images seem very powerful, so I’m writing down what I can.

Dreams 20040525, 6:55 AM:

I’m at a large camping event like an SCA event, and walking through campsites. I think that I’m trying to find someone, although I don’t remember who. Then, I am at a structure made otu of wood that has big steps, and there are a lot of nearly-dead moths piled on it; I sort through them, trying to figure out which species they are (many of them are very battered) and trying to see if any of them would be able to lay viable eggs. I find that all of the moths of one species (which I decided in the dream was Promethea, although it’s not; it was more like a brown-colored Actias selene) have their guts eaten out, as if by ants; they’re just missing large chunks of abdomen. I find a few promising-looking moths that appear to have eggs in them, and carry them in my hand. Then, I look down between the wooden steps, and see that at the bottom of them, there are cocoons; I start fishing them out, detaching them from the wooden sides where they are anchored with floss thread. I pick up probably a dozen or more, and carry them as well.

*different dream – I don’t remember if I woke up, or just the dream changed*

I’m in a house that I don’t recognize – in the dream, it’s my house, but it’s not the typical composite of real places I’ve lived. It’s piled up to the top with stuff – and it doesn’t seem like it’s boxes or junk, it’s just like all the stuff that should be stored, is laid out and piled up. I remember walking beside a bunk bed, with the mattress and box springs laid up against the bed frames instead of being on the bed, and there is paper stuff beside it.

Chris is getting ready to leave (for the day? or on a trip?) and I’m wandering around behind him and talking to him. I feel upset because the house is messy, and I start picking stuff up – I know that about 80% of the mess is dirty laundry that has gotten stacked onto things, but I don’t feel like he realizes this. One of the laundry things accidentally picks up a bunch of safety goggles and equipment, like it got caught in a towel that I picked up. I am also waiting for him to leave because I’m horny and want to jack off to some porn – I feel sad about that, wishing that we would have sex together instead, but I’m resigned to it, and he’s all dressed and ready to leave. Finally, he walks out the door, and is gone.

*different dream*

I’m outside, walking along beside a fountain that tumbles down through an area like a sidewalk. There is a man walking there as well, and he seems like some kind of official; he is wearing a suit, and talking about the area. At one point, the flow of the water is odd, and he points to it and mentions that it’s out of alignment. We walk along, and at the end of the fountain, it spreads out onto a flat area, which is slightly flooded despite not being part of the fountain. There are two workmen with long poles that have these squeegee-roller ends, one standing on either side of the wet area, and working to clear the water. One pushes it toward the other, who then reaches out and sweeps it toward the drain; at first, I thought they were pushing it back and forth, but then I realize that they’re working in harmony. I take over for one of the two men, and talk to the other; I don’t remember now what we talked about.

Then, I’m standing from a different vantage, looking at the same fountain scene. It seems like I’m up on top of a small building, which is edged around with antique fencing. I realize that I want to fly over to where the fountain is, and as I say it, I realize that this means I’m dreaming. I fly over, and there’s a huge tree that I stop to look at. I reach out, and it is turning around slowly like a big crank shaft. I touch it, and watch it turn; a second later, I see a hand sticking out of a fork in the trunk, and I know that somehow that means that my hand got caught and I got killed, and my body will be coming around in a moment. I don’t want to see that, so I tell the dream to change, but I wake up instead. I woke up feeling kind of sad and alone.

New Maumee restaurant using farm to table concept

MAUMEE, OH (Toledo News Now) - A soft opening was held Wednesday for Degage Express. This is an extension of the Degage Jazz Café but the restaurant uses the farm to table concept.

Head Chef Joseph Jacobsen said every item will come from within 100 miles of their location, most from within 30 miles.

Jacobsen said it is good for the environment because the food does not have to travel as far. It is good for the local economy because most of the money stays here.

"I feel like people are used to eating the same old thing in this area. I'm trying to expand people's minds, and also getting everything locally, we're keeping all our money in the community," said Jacobsen.

Degage Express will be open from 11a.m-7p.m. Monday through Friday.
