How To Use Online Marketing Strategies For Small Business
It's very unlikely that you'll build a profitable online business without marketing. You may have the best website in the world, but if nobody knows it exists you'll never sell anything from it.
Different marketing techniques come and go on the internet all the time but when you're running an online business you do need to depend on the online marketing strategies that will stand the test of time.
The main reason that many people struggle with online marketing is they get overwhelmed with information. But there are ways that you can market your online business simply and effectively to build brand awareness, get more traffic, and start making more money.
10 Online Marketing Strategies
1. Know Your Audience
It's imperative that you study your audience so that you know the people who need your products. If you don't know the problems and pain points of your audience, it's hard to create solutions. And it's even harder to market the solutions once you have created them if you don't know the audience – including where they hang out and who they are.
Create an audience persona based on where your audience is in their buying cycle so that you can address people properly in every funnel you create.

2. Understand Your Product's Benefits
What benefits does your product or service offer to your buyers? You must be able to communicate these benefits and how they help the user in a way that resonates with them in all your marketing messages – before, during, and after purchase.
3. Build a Responsive Website
Today you must go with a "mobile first" strategy when it comes to building a website. A website needs to work on all devices and consider that most people are using mobile to access email, read websites, and make purchases today. It has to work on both a desktop computer and a mobile but put mobile first.
4. Set Up Social Media Platform Profiles
When you study your audience, part of that involves knowing where they like to get their information. Whether it's your competition or not, you should be where they are so that they'll notice you. Set up social profiles on these social media platforms, link to them from your website and from your email signature, and cross-promote each place that your audience can find you and engage with you. Be a resource to them and be open to questions so that you can transparently become part of their community as you build relationships with them.
5. Build an Email List
Start from day one building your email list. Your email list is made up of the people who like what you're saying, have purchased your products, or have agreed to receive information from you. Plus, it's an asset that you own and that you can take with you wherever you choose to go from here. You can create checklists, eBooks, and information that they'll be happy to sign up to get in exchange for submitting their email address and run advertising on the internet to help build your list right now.
6. Create Relevant and Consistent Content
Developing, creating, and publishing relevant and consistent content is an imperative part of your online marketing tactics and strategies. Content can be published on your website, on social platforms, on industry websites and blogs as a guest, and more. When you know your audience, your products, and your reason for existing, you'll be able to create more content that speaks to your audience. Make sure the content you publish has a purpose such as educating, informing, encouraging, and engaging your audience.
7. Use Compelling Imagery
When you publish anything today, it needs to be visually pleasing. Choose readable fonts, good color contrasts, and use images that follow your branding guidelines so there's no mistake that the content is from you and your business. For example, if you want to use artsy images versus real photos, make that part of your branding.
8. SEO (Seach Engine Optimization)
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) involves reaching the highest search results possible for your website to drive organic, non-paid, traffic. About 92% of web searches go to websites that are on the first page of search results. This is primarily done by providing quality content (see point #6 above), using relevant and descriptive keywords and making your website easy to navigate.
9. Don't Be Afraid To Advertise
Advertising on the internet doesn't have to be expensive. It can make a huge difference in how fast you expand your reach and start making a profit, getting more email sign-ups, and building your audience. Social media platforms, such as Facebook ads, offer a variety of cost-effective online marketing tools. However, before you post any ads, ensure that you understand how to use the platform properly so you reach your target audience. Once you do place an ad, monitor the data to ensure that what you're doing is working. That way you can tweak it as you go.
10. Video Marketing
Statistics show that sales pages that have video convert 80% better than those that do not. Many website users like to watch a video demonstration about the products and services that they want to use. The effectiveness of submitting relevant videos to sites like, Vimeo, YouTube and other video sharing sites is a marketing strategy that won't go away. Video marketing can grow your online presence exponentially.

Stocks pushed higher aggressively on Tuesday, capping a two-week rally that has taken the S&P 500 back above its 50-day moving average in a big way for the first time since early March.
Fears over trade wars, a geopolitical standoff in Syria, and the Special Counsel investigation into President Donald Trump and possible ties to Russia have been replaced by enthusiasm for Q1 earnings results. Also being set aside are any concerns about the Federal Reserve and its quickening pace of rate hikes.
Gains, where they are happening, are extremely impressive. But the good feelings aren't universal, with pockets of disappointment. Here are three stocks to watch that are helping lead the way higher; and three that are pulling back on the reins:
Stocks to Watch: Amazon (AMZN)
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) shares are making a move on the $1,500 threshold again, rising above their 50-day and 20-day moving averages to return to levels last seen in late March. President Trump, who has criticized the company and its CEO Jeff Bezos, has quieted his Twitter feed lately and held off on threats to reexamine its relationship with the U.S. Postal Service.
The company will next report results on April 26, after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.32-per-share on revenues of nearly $50 billion. When the company last reported on Feb. 1, earnings of $2.19-beat-estimates by 36 cents on a 38.2% rise in revenues.
Stocks to Watch: Netflix (NFLX)
Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) was the star of the show after earnings, surging 9.6% to a new record high, eclipsing its early March levels, thanks to better-than-expected Q1 results, upside guidance and a slew of analyst upgrades. Revenues rose more than 40% from a year ago on the addition of 7.4 million new subscribers globally vs. the addition of just under 5 million last year.
When the company last reported on Jan. 22, earnings of 41-cents-per-share matched estimates on a 33% rise in revenues.
Stocks to Watch: Alphabet (GOOGL)
Thanks to the lift to big-tech stocks, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) was up 3.5% in mid-day trading Wednesday to take the fight back to its 50-day moving average. This caps a multi-week rally off of its early March low. While the stock was caught up in the sympathy selling surrounding the Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) data privacy scandal, recent positive coverage in Barron's has helped flip the script.
The company will next report results on April 23, after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $9.21-per-share on revenues of $30.3 billion. When the company last reported on Feb. 1, earnings of $9.70 missed estimates by 37 cents on a 24% rise in revenues.
Stocks to Watch: Goldman Sachs (GS)
Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) shares were under pressure on Tuesday after management said it did not expect to do any share buybacks in the second quarter — pulling back on what's been a major source of buying demand for stocks in recent years. Amid higher interest rates and rising corporate debt levels, the bulls will need to reconsider their assumptions that corporate share repurchases are a force of nature.
The company reported earnings of $6.95-per-share, beating estimates by $1.38, on a 25% rise in revenues — the best top-line performance in three years.
Stocks to Watch: Bank of America (BAC)
Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) shares were unchanged on Tuesday after bonking on their 50-day moving average on Monday despite reporting better-than-expected results on Monday morning. Earnings of 62 cents per share beat estimates by 3 cents on a 4.1% rise in revenues. The results were helped by a 9% revenue increase in its consumer banking business and a spike in equity trading related to the market volatility seen during the quarter.
When the company last reported on Jan. 17, earnings of 47 cents beat estimates by 2 cents on a 3.5% rise in revenues.
Stocks to Watch: Morgan Stanley (MS)
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) shares were trading down to the lower end of a two-month trading range earlier this week, threatening to break lower in what would be a test of its 200-day moving average. However, MS stock is on its way back up after reporting results Wednesday morning. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.25-per-share on revenues of $10.4 billion.
When the company last reported on Jan. 18, earnings of 84-cents-per-share beat estimates by 6 cents on a 5.3% rise in revenues.

As we were entering the last decade of the millennium, viewers were hooked on another kind of survivor: the Americans who fought for the Union and the Confederacy, as recalled in the groundbreaking Public Broadcasting Service documentary The Civil War.
The $3.5 million, 12-hour documentary series aired during the third week of September in 1990 and made a hero out of its filmmaker, the boyish, fifth-Beatle-like Ken Burns (l), who put together the film using the voices of famous actors and authors, old photos, and the recollections of Civil War diarists.
The Civil War scored record ratings for PBS. About 14 million Americans watched each night, and, in Nielsen overnights from the top 24 markets, it scored a 9 rating and a 13 share over five nights. Broadcasting & Cable noted that The Civil War made "PBS a force to be reckoned with."

Great Lakes Science Center Great Lakes Science Center is funded by the citizens of Cuyahoga County through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, grants, funds, and corporate and individual gifts. The museum opened in July 1996. The center's exhibits support STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) with exhibits including the BioMedTech Gallery, advanced energy, science phenomena and space. The Science Center is home to the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, one of only 11 such Visitor Centers in the country.[2] Also, Science Center staff conduct daily science demonstrations. Throughout the school year, the Science Center provides STEM education to field trip students each year with programs and exhibits supporting classroom curriculum by meeting Ohio Revised Standards in Science. It also provides educator professional development programming.
Morse Code Conversion Tool Morse code is a method for transmitting telegraphic information, using standardized sequences of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks or pulses, and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs". For much of the twentieth century, the majority of high-speed international communication was conducted in Morse code, using telegraph lines, undersea cables, and radio links. However, the variable length of the Morse characters made it hard to adapt to automated links, so for most electronic communication it has been replaced by more regular formats, including the Baudot code and ASCII.

Dr Hannah Fry: the mathematical models that underpin our sexual success What are the odds? Or how mathematician Peter Backus weighed up his chances of finding love… Just as it's not possible to calculate precisely how many alien life forms there are, it's also not possible to calculate exactly how many potential partners you may have. But all the same, being able to estimate quantities that you have no hope of verifying is an important skill for any scientist. It also applies to maths student Peter Backus's well-publicised quest to see whether there were intelligent, socially advanced women of the same species out there for him to date.
Medieval Technology Pages The Medieval Technology Pages The Medieval Technology Pages are an attempt to provide accurate, referenced information on technological innovation and related subjects in western Europe during the Middle Ages. There are several ways to access this information. Deadly Shadow of Vesuvius by Peter Tyson In a word, yes. But that assertion, like saying we can predict the weather, bears significant caveats. Volcanologists can predict eruptions—if they have a thorough understanding of a volcano's eruptive history, if they can install the proper instrumentation on a volcano well in advance of an eruption, and if they can continuously monitor and adequately interpret data coming from that equipment.
100 first signs: American Sign Language (ASL) This page contains links to about a hundred basic ASL signs that are frequently used between parents and their young children. Remember, there is much more to learning American Sign Language than just memorizing signs. ASL has its own grammar, culture, history, terminology and other important aspects. Monte Carlo method Monte Carlo methods (or Monte Carlo experiments) are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results; typically one runs simulations many times over in order to obtain the distribution of an unknown probabilistic entity. They are often used in physical and mathematical problems and are most useful when it is difficult or impossible to obtain a closed-form expression, or infeasible to apply a deterministic algorithm. Monte Carlo methods are mainly used in three distinct problem classes: optimization, numerical integration and generation of draws from a probability distribution. The modern version of the Monte Carlo method was invented in the late 1940s by Stanislaw Ulam, while he was working on nuclear weapons projects at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Immediately after Ulam's breakthrough, John von Neumann understood its importance and programmed the ENIAC computer to carry out Monte Carlo calculations.

A unique experience combining art and furniture awaits you at the Minacciolo showroom. A journey through works of art with an original charm will accompany you from the kitchen to all the other rooms of the house.
From May to October, in conjunction with Expo 2015, Minacciolo will be pleased to welcome you to its headquarters for the initiative "MINACCIOLO MEETS ART", a series of art exhibitions held in a 1,200-square metre furniture showroom.
The first event will feature the artist Augusto Aghi, who will exhibit his works on canvas with installations in the various rooms of the house, with an interesting mix of contemporary art, "country chic" furniture and furniture with a more modern design. With this event, Minacciolo plans to give new meaning to the traditional concept of an exhibition, bringing works of art into the domestic environment, in close contact with furniture and, especially, with the kitchen.
An original initiative focused on creating a connection between various fields of art, from painting to interior design, taking place not far from the wonderful cities of Venice and Treviso.

Further information
Set in the lowland area of Treviso, the Italian furniture company Minacciolo is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
A surprising outcome if you consider how it was all founded. The founder and current owner Maurizio Minacciolo was hardworking and passionate, both qualities which set apart those who succeed. He transformed a simple workshop into an industrial success which then became amongst the most prestigious in Italy and listed in the stock exchange.
The initial idea was to industrialise the manufacturing of country furniture in the ampezzo-tirol style which was highly fashionable in the early 70s. As a result of the refined woodwork and the innovative furniture collections that were being sold, the Company was making headway and began to develop its commercial and distribution structure. 1991 was a major turning point. Minacciolo continued innovating and constantly working to make themselves the best they could be. From this the "Tolà" collection was born. This was a collection of original country style furniture where elegant colours such as "green sage" and "powder blue" elegantly emerged to reflect provincial, English and Umbrian-Tuscan styles. In 2001, during this commercial boom period, another important manufacturing milestone was achieved. Minacciolo created the new "English Mood" collection that was immediately successful. Characterised by delicate and refined lines, this collection gave an added chic dimension to the country style and as a result a renewed personality and a new development in furniture. From its original design which appealed only to country homes Minacciolo's new country chic design opened up a whole new dimension moving into the city apartment market.
Over the following years, the "English Mood" collection was constantly being developed and expanded, continually being adapted so as to meet the new demands on the market. Craftsmanship and design culture are values on which Minacciolo's manufacturing continued to be based, in particular in the field of wooden furniture and furnishings to suit every room in the house. An authentic "Made in Italy",made even more exclusive by the use of eco-friendly materials and processes, used together with the most cutting-edge technologies took the company to international market leader position amongst furniture manufacturers for country style and contemporary. As well as a trend setter for brands it was once again market leader for the country chic style.
Today, this collection offers a complete "house program", offering unprecedented elegance and stylistic continuity in any home: from the kitchen to the living room, from the bedroom to the bathroom. As well as this already appealing and recognised collection, in 2012 Minacciolo created two new collections for Eurocucina, with an original and personal contemporary: "Minà" and "Natural Skin".
Two innovative and technology proposals, designed in the spirit of being contemporary brought together the materials, traditions and timeless qualities of wood and metal. Two additional lines which work together to create original and innovative spaces thanks to the inclusion of equipment and professional units which encourage a new way for the spaces to be used.
In order to design real country style contemporary furniture, Minacciolo takes exclusive advantage of highly experienced specialised wood workers thus combining their skilled craftsmanship with on-going innovative technologies.
The high degree of coordination that is a feature in all of their furniture provides an endless number of various different solutions. Every year Minacciolo updates their own products so they can guarantee cutting edge technology, thus offering components and household appliances that are up to date and tie in perfectly with the unique feel they have created.

I have not heard much about climbing in that area, have you?
MountaingirlBC - Nov 28, 2006 11:43 pm - Voted 10/10Re: lonely place
Just that it's extremely remote, the approach is long and arduous and the weather rarely cooperates. I believe there is a BC Mountaineering Club trip in the organizing stages for next year.

I really like the viewpoint of this picture.

The photo was taken from a cessna 207, about five minutes into the flight...Unfortunately, I don't know the altitude.
MtnGuide - Feb 28, 2007 1:00 pm - Hasn't votedGlacial Separation
I rafted this river in 1976, and these 2 glaciers were so jammed into Alsek Lake that the icebergs were stacked up on top of each other. The river pushed its way under the iceberg jams, creating dangerous sucking eddies, and preventing navigation downstream. We had to race over to the edge of the channel, tow our boats back upstream, and carry them in several trips down the dry channel on the right, along the base of the Brabazon Range, to where the river re-emerged from under the ice jam at the mouth of the Grand Plateau Glacier. That dry channel was probably in the foreground under your plane's belly, just this side of the green mountain on the bottom margin of the photo. We had to haul the boats half a mile, then go back and get our packs and haul them. Amazing.
Casey Bates - Mar 3, 2007 2:55 pm - Hasn't votedRe: Glacial Separation
MtnGuide that sounds amazing! Thanks for your comment. They now refer to that area as the "Channel fo Death" if conditions are as you describe, but it was pretty mellow when I visited as the winds had not pushed any icebergs in that direction. It looks like that area is changing quite rapidly, as with may other areas in the world, because of the warming climate.
MtnGuide - Mar 19, 2007 8:08 am - Hasn't votedRe: Glacial Separation
My theory is that the channel is dry because of tilt-block uplift of the Brabazon Range. Perhaps a fault along the range's base, like along the eastern Sierra. It could even have been lifted suddenly, as by the Good Friday Earthquake of 1964. It is well-documented that that temblor (trembler) triggered avalanches over the next ridges to the South which displaced most of the water in Lituya Bay's cup-shaped basin, into a tidal wave, which lifted several fishing boats and crashed them into the ground. That's at the base of Mt. Fairweather, to the West of that glacier. I'd like to find out if anyone has bothered to climb peaks in the Brabazon Range, other than goat and bear hunters. Easier and more realistic than those monster St. Elias Range peaks. Have you heard of any recorded climbs there?
rgb2 - Sep 9, 2010 1:49 am - Voted 10/10Great photo!
I hope you don't object if I attach this photo to the Coast Mountains area/range page I am working on.

We all remember what the iconic houses looked like on our favorite TV shows growing up. Whether the famous facades were seen in the opening credits or shown in different scenes, you might still find yourself thinking, "I wish I lived there," or "I wonder where they filmed that?"
Here's where a few are today with a little blurb about what's happened to them since they appeared on your television.
Full House- 1709 Broderick St San Francisco, CA 94115
Since the San Francisco housing market is one of the most high-priced in the country, it seems as if the Tanner clan lucked out back in the day since this famous home would now be worth a whopping $3.5 million!
A fun fact: This home is located about 1.5 miles from the "Painted Ladies"
Photo courtesy of: https://sf.curbed.com/2018/7/13/17568494/full-house-home-san-francisco-location-tour-bus
Fresh Prince of Bel Air- 251 N Bristol Ave Los Angeles, CA 90049
Did you know that the Fresh Prince's Bel Air Mansion was actually located in Brentwood, CA? While we may not know what's become of the house in real life besides its worth of $7.5 million, we do remember that in the series finale, everyone moved out of the Banks Mansion, so I guess the rest is history…
Photo courtesy of: https://mtonews.com/heres-what-the-fresh-prince-bel-air-mansion-looks-like-now
The Brady Brunch- 11222 Dilling St, North Hollywood, CA 91602
Yes, it's true! HGTV has purchased one of the most recognized homes in America, the Brady Bunch home! According to HGTV, plans are in the works to restore it to its full '70s glory. Stay tuned as they will also be filming a new series, A Very Brady Renovation scheduled to air September of 2019.

Boy Meets World- Located in the Colfax Meadows neighborhood in Studio City
This charming home where the Matthews family used to live was recently sold for $1.5 million, which is too bad because Mr. Feeny would have been a great neighbor.
A fun fact: This Studio City, CA home was just used for exterior shots back in the day. Actual filming took place on set at the studio.
Photo courtesy of: http://mentalfloss.com/article/88766/you-can-buy-corys-house-boy-meets-world
Family Matters- 1516 W. Wrightwood Chicago, IL
I have terrible news! Steve Urkel's Chicago home is set for demolition.
A fun fact: The show was filmed on set in California, not in Chicago!
Photo courtesy of: https://www.flickr.com/photos/camphellview/4478509336/
Breaking Bad- 3828 Piermont Dr NE Albuquerque, NM
Walter White's house may not be your dream home. This Albuquerque, NM attraction is always swarmed by fans. The current owner had to build a fence to protect his privacy! Also costs for methamphetamine remediation and clean up are no joke.
Photo courtesy of Steve Snowden/Getty Images
Golden Girls- The original address is 245 North Saltair Avenue Miami, FL
The home that left an undeniable mark on American pop culture was located in sunny Miami, FL! After the first season, they built an exact replica of the house at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios. You can now take a visit to see this home, aka this "park attraction" in Orlando.
Photo courtesy of Lindsay Blake, taken in February 2014
Although your dream of owning one of these famous houses may not work out, we can help you find something even better! Check out our mortgage programs and apply for a loan today to get started!

Southland Sidecar Championship Wrap Up Results & Photos
James Douglas and Harley Biddle mastered gruelling conditions to clinch the Southland Sidecar Championship at Oreti Park Speedway on Saturday.
The 44i duo held off strong challenges from an experienced field in the final stanza to snatch the chequered flag ahead of Aiden Thwaites and Shane Twiss.
(Photos thanks to Dave loudon Photography)
Wet weather leading up to the club's final meeting of the season wrecked havoc with the track, forcing the cancellation of all junior racing, including the Southland Pee Wee Championships.
A dedicated maintenance effort on the senior oval whipped it into adequate shape for both sidecar and solo competitors.
In the newly-established B grade for sidecars, Jason Clark and Clare Hartnell took top honours, followed by Jamie Pocklington and Chris Leeden.
In his rookie season in the A grade solo ranks, Sam Taylor continued to impress to notch up his first meeting win as a senior, beating Jake Gillespie to the red sash.
Classic solo riders earned bragging rights over their B Grade counterparts in an impromptu team event.
With the local season now completed, several Oreti club members will venture north to contest the Remembrance Championship and Short Track Nationals at Moore Park Speedway, near Christchurch, on April 21 and 22 respectively.

55: The Backyard Rink
55: The Backyard Rink
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: Christmas in Canada
The Backyard Rink
You will find as you look back upon your life the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
~Henry Drummond
I believe it is a universal truth that every Canadian man, at some point in his life, decides to build a skating rink in the back yard, just like his dad did when he was a lad. This isn't much of a problem in the city where he's perched on a piece of land appropriately scaled for a three-bedroom bungalow and maybe a small shed and swing set. He can quite easily flood the back yard during TV commercials.
However, in Manitoba we learned that country back yards are a whole different matter. When winter came, my husband Ross, the man who laughed in such a condescending manner when I planted too much zucchini in the summer, succumbed to Large-Yard-Syndrome when building an ice rink.
Figuring there's no point in even bothering to build a rink if an entire hockey league couldn't use it for practice games, Ross spent ages planning and preparing the site. That was a mere blink of the eye compared to how long it took to actually water the mighty expanse with a standard garden hose, especially a ludicrously short garden hose connected to a tap connected to a well with water pressure so inadequate that it only allows you to wet down the far side of this putative Montreal Forum when the pump kicks in. As he stood outside, icicles formed on his nose, the glove clutching the hose, and the hose itself, until he had to come inside to thaw the nozzle so he could start the flow again.
Yet despite the amazing fact that I couldn't find another garden hose at Canadian Tire in Winnipeg in the middle of December when everyone else was doing their Christmas shopping, and I refused to take out a second mortgage to buy a Zamboni machine, Ross finally announced the rink "skateable."
That's when the real trouble began.
Up until this point my contribution had consisted mainly of waxing eloquent about how wonderful he was to go out there in that awful weather just to provide us with a venue for a little winter recreation. I plied him with mulled wine and hot toddies and commiserated with him on the treachery of a hose whose output slowed to a trickle as the ice built up, both inside the line and off the end of the nozzle, like a pack of crazed stalactites.
I kept a concerned expression on my face as he bemoaned the fact that after an hour or so the water would plop out of the hose viscously to form stalagmites on his increasingly bumpy stretch of ice. I even managed to keep up the sympathetic cooing as I watched the two of them (Ross and his hose) drip black slush all over the carpet as they thawed in front of the fire.
But when the rink was finally finished I was confronted with my greatest challenge — I actually had to go out and skate on it.
Ross belongs to the Conan the Barbarian school of skating, whose main tenet is that if you can still feel your feet after your skates have been done up then your laces are too loose. He also believes that figure skates are for sissies (as well as being bad for the ice) and real skaters (and their wives and daughters) wear hockey skates.
My outlook darkened rapidly the first time I actually tried to skate in the darn things. I was on a huge expanse of unsympathetic and deadly ice with no picks to either get me started or stop me when someone else gave me a shove. Wholly dependent on surface friction and my own vast capacity for inertia, I felt like a curling stone.
When, after about a minute and a half, I complained about the cramps in both my feet, Ross shook his head in a disappointed puppy kind of way and hurried me hard over to the bench, which I had, with stunning insight, ordered to be placed by the rink in anticipation of just such an emergency.
I thumped down, and then proceeded to break three fingernails and a tooth trying to get my laces untied.
It never ceases to amaze both Ross and our daughter, who now frequently and maliciously skates circles around me, that after this many months my skating has not improved in any way.
In the hopes of spurring me to skating competency, Ross promised me a cool NHL sweater as soon as I proved worthy of it. When it became woefully apparent this tactic was doomed to failure, a Montreal Canadiens sweater found its way under the Christmas tree anyway, while my husband lied sweetly about my "huge improvement." Yet despite wearing his number, I still can't come close to skating with anything like the panache of "Rocket" Richard. And he's been dead for years.
So, I've become that crazy woman in the Habs sweater slowly spinning on her butt mid-ice.
At least I'm blocking the path for the Zamboni machine.

La Tinosa - The Central Limestone Arch are a string of mountains, limestone for the most part, connecting the Sierra de las Nieves to the west, with the Sierra Tejeda in the east, extending for over 50 kilometres in length. This almost continuous chain provides a clear border between north-eastern regions of Antequera, with the south of the Malaga province.
This mountain formation is responsible for separating two very different climatic zones; the depression of Antequera in the north from Axarquía, the Hoya de Málaga and the Valle del Guadalhorce in the south and is one of the reasons for the good climate along the coast of Málaga.
They act to regulate the temperature south of this chain, providing more temperate conditions year-round. This effect can be clearly seen in the winter months when the cold air literally pours over the Sierra de Camarolos and appears waterfall-like.
We start in the pueblo of Alfarnate, adjacent to the Rio Sabar, and close to the once important trading route from Malaga to Granada. We leave following the Rio Sabar, and cross over to the adjacent pueblo of Alfarnatejo. It's here that we have the splendid views of the Sierra de Camarolos to our right (part of the Central Limestone Arch), and in front of us the mass of peaks and ridges, standing on their own, of the Tajo de Gomer.
After a quick refreshment stop in Alfarnatejo we continue west, in front of the mountain of Fraile, and then turn south following a small stream as we head towards the open plains above Riogordo.
The descent takes us around the west and southern flank of the Tajo de Gomer, initially through a mix of deciduous trees, then into olive groves and finally opening out into fields of crops. As we make steady progress we're rewarded with changing views of the mountain; from the steep sides of Gomer and then with Doña Ana, like two teeth protruding up from the sloping fields.
The final few kilometres follow the Morenas stream as we descend into Riogordo.

Finding a Specific, Affordable Retail Insurance Plan with Perdue
By perdueinsur91004311, Nov 28 2016 03:35PM
It's extremely important to have retail business insurance. Not only is it legally required in many fields and in many areas, but the benefits greatly outweigh the costs. A claim against your business because of an accidental injury or for nearly any other reason can cripple your business financially and severely hurt your reputation as well, unless you can swiftly and properly make amends with the help of an insurance policy. If you don't want to needlessly risk all of your hard work going to waste, invest in retail business insurance in Kyle, Texas with Perdue Insurance.
Aside from having excellent coverage plans and access to excellent insurance companies, Perdue is extremely skilled at helping you assess your risks and find the plan that is the least expensive yet more than adequately prepares you for any potential claims against you. When thinking about what kind of coverage you need, you'll first have to decide whether you need general liability coverage, professional liability coverage, commercial property coverage or a unique mixture that perfectly suits your business.
General liability is fairly simple. It covers most accident and injury claims, but it's not as specific as product liability coverage, which specifically and more thoroughly covers any damage, accident or injury claims that relate to any products that your business sells. If you are a service business and don't sell physical products, it's very important to get some sort of professional liability coverage. For example, if you offer repairs on clients' electronics, your professional liability coverage will keep you protected in case any clients claim that you caused further damage. If you own commercial property and don't work out of your home, then you need commercial property coverage to keep your property safe from damage or vandalism.
When looking for retail business insurance in Kyle, Texas, Perdue will help you determine whether you need any additional coverage like builder's risk policies, garage keepers policies, worker's compensation, sand and gravel hauler plans, propane haulers coverage or limousine and taxi coverage.
Perdue Insurance is an excellent insurance agency for more than it's connections, cooperative spirit and savvy coverage plans, but for other major qualities like it's deep experience and roots in the area and it's ongoing belief in the importance of integrity and honesty. Perdue has been operating near and around Kyle since 1996 and has developed a long list of satisfied and secure clients. Visit perdueinsurancetx.com to learn how to set up an appointment with an agent and how to get the best retail business insurance in Kyle, Texas.

Right after WWII, there was a widespread movement which involved the Knights of Columbus, many co-sponsors in the Senate, resounding support in the House and the support of Dwight David Eisenhower, urging Congress to add the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance.
On Flag Day in 1954, these two simple words were added to the pledge. Now, some 54 years later, and several decades after the legalization of infanticide (also known as abortion) in the United States, it may well be time to modify the pledge further.
Where should these new words should be placed? I think that the words carry the greatest impact at the end of the pledge. Read along and see what you think about the addition.
I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all, born or unborn.
I agree completely that there would be a massive uphill battle involved to bring about such a change. Hundreds to thousands of lawyers would be spending tens of thousands of hours, on multiple sides or views of the issue, preparing for the anticipated battles waged in courts, in the media, and in social networks.
I contend, however, that such a change would not be unfitting nor unfeasible. The Supreme Court has told us that the mother has a constitutional right to kill her child. As a matter of fact, the Constitution does not address the issue of abortion, one way or another. The reason is simple: the world of 1776 to 1787 was vastly different from the world at the end of the 20th century. Did the Founding Fathers write documents concerning their ideas about the Internet, space debris, MRI's, and unisex bathrooms? No. Why? Simply because these items and myriad others were not even on the future's distant horizon when these men were establishing a government for their new nation.
Furthermore, on the subject of the Constitution, the decision that legalized abortion was not made in a constitutional manner. The power to pass such laws was never meant to belong to a court of nine judges. Lincoln described ours as "a government for the people, by the people," which implies that the passing of laws belongs to representatives elected by, and appointed to represent, their people, i.e. Congress.
To return to the main issue, however, could such a defense of an unborn child's rights be incorporated into the pledge? Is our society capable of legally acknowledging these rights? I believe that it is, despite its widespread violations of them. After all, many laws in our country already offer some forms of protection to these children.
Legal Inconsistencies
In an effort to bring some modicum of sanity to the debate, various states have attempted to build legislation in one form or another to protect unborn children. While these attempts are, of course, good and right steps, they also serve to highlight all the more clearly the injustice of abortion.
In his article, "The Legal Status of the Unborn Child under State Law," Paul Benjamin Linton exhaustively cites and discusses laws from all 50 states. In particular, he notes the following:
"Approximately 38 States have laws criminally prosecuting persons, except pregnant mothers (and assisting abortion practitioners), who commit acts of violence on unborn babies. In many and probably in a majority of states, a crime occurs regardless of the age of the fetus, i.e., through every stage of gestation.
"For example, in California, Penal Code §187(a) defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being or a fetus with malice aforethought.
"Federal law has the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. Under this Act, it is a crime to harm an embryo or fetus at any stage of pregnancy during an attack on a pregnant woman.
"Thus, under state and federal fetal victim criminal laws, an unborn baby is a protected person [emphasis added].
"Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, the States remain free to extend the protection of the law to unborn children so long as that protection does not interfere with the 'abortion liberty' recognized in Roe… [A]ll of the States [in the USA] have chosen to do so in one or (more commonly) multiple areas of the law—criminal law, tort law, health care law, property law and guardianship law. The legal protections States have accorded unborn children outside the scope of abortion have withstood repeated constitutional challenges. It is surely an anomaly that, in every area of law but one—abortion—the States may define the legal status of the unborn child and confer legal rights upon the unborn child. But that anomaly is one that is entirely of the Supreme Court's making and one which, at some point, the Court will need to confront and resolve."
Pursuing Clarity and Truth
For a Catholic who is faithful to the Magisterium, there is no confusion. A zygote, an embryo, a fetus, or any other word in any language which is used to keep people from saying child, baby or infant, is a human being from the moment of conception. Indeed, many, both Christians and non-Christians, hold essentially the same view of pre-birth children.
We, as a society, cannot have it both ways. We cannot demand protection for a pre-born child and have that same child killed in the mother's womb simply because he/she is inconvenient.
I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all, born or unborn.
This addition of three words is a very small change, but with massive implications. We must make the change, even if it is only one person at a time.

Bush v. Obama on Consulate Attacks
Liberals love to compare the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration, as if comparison and contrast justify wrong-doing from any President.
The increased spending spree under George W. Bush was wrong, along with the unfunded entitlement expansion of Medicare Part D. The 2005 Highway Transportation bill was filled with political, promotional pork, and everyone benefited. Let us not forget how may Republicans went to jail for corruption in connection with the Jack Abramoff scandal.
Right and wrong from our leaders is not a function of political party, but the truth.
Now, let's compare what happened during the Bush Administration with the Obama Administration regarding attacks on US Embassies and Consultants.
Yes, here is a comprehensive list of embassy attacks during the Bush Administration:
What is the difference between this set of attacks and Benghazi?
President Bush never minimized the losses of people. He never made excuses for standing up to terrorism around the world.
He did not blame their deaths on a video, nor did he direct one of his ambassadors to read from scrubbed talking points, or mislead the public for months (now years) on the incident.
He did not supervise a Secretary of State who shouted at a panel of US Senators: "What difference does it make?"
Other concerns give us more perspective on the Obama Presidency compared to the Bush Administration.
There were no successful, concerted attacks on American soil from Muslim terrorists during the Bush Administration after 9-11. How many attacks have we witnessed on American soil from Muslim terrorists since President Obama came to power?
Here are two to consider:
2009 -- Nidal Hasan, a psychiatrist and major in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, is the only suspect in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that left 13 soldiers and civilians dead and more than two dozen others wounded on Nov. 5, 2009. Hasan is awaiting a military trial that could bring the death penalty. Prior to the shootings, the government intercepted at least 18 emails between Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric tied to al-Qaida.
2013 -- The Tsarnaev Boston Bombers: (CNN) -- Federal prosecutors say they'll seek the death penalty against Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, arguing that he acted in "an especially heinous, cruel and depraved manner" and lacks remorse.
These and three other attacks suggest that Islamic terrorists do not find President Obama intimidating. Former House Rep and now US Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) delineated Obama's following counter-terrorism failure:
"I rise today to express grave doubts about the Obama administration's counterterrorism policies and programs. ..." Cotton said. "In barely four years in office, five jihadists have reached their targets in the United States under Barack Obama: the Boston Marathon Bomber, the Underwear Bomber, the Times Square Bomber, the Fort Hood shooter, and, in my own state, the Little Rock recruiting office shooter. In over seven years after 9/11, under George W. Bush, how many terrorists reached their targets in the United States? Zero. We need to ask: Why is the Obama administration failing in its mission to stop terrorism before it reaches its targets in the United States?"
Yes, there were attacks on American consulates during the Bush Administration. However, Middle Eastern jihadists were on the run, not the attack. Libyan Dictator Muammar Ghaddafi gave up his weapons program. Stable governments remained in power throughout the Arab World, and their leaders were slowly expanding the voter franchise to their people. Allies of Israel were defending the country against Islamic attacks, as well.
The verdict? President Obama and his liberal supports cannot rebut their massive foreign policy/terrorism failures by pointing to the consulate attacks under the Bush Administration.
