Helping Business Owners Maintain A Healthy Business And Life With Nicholas Bayerle
My guest is Nick Bayerle. How are you doing?
I'm doing great. I appreciate you having me. I'm excited to get into some good stuff and help people gain some freedom while still making money and not negating their profit margins, which I know is some stuff that you do as well.
For those of you that don't know, he's the CEO of The Billion Dollar Body. He's the host of a top-ranked podcast. He was featured in Forbes as a seven-figure entrepreneur. He is ranked as a Top 30 Entrepreneur Under 30. We're excited to chat with you. We were talking before and you have this mix of in-person team and remote teams. We'll talk about that. Before we do any of that, let's take a gigantic step back. What were you like growing up as a kid? Were you a straight-A student? Were you a rebel? Did you always know that you wanted to be an entrepreneur?
First off, you probably know that I'm not that great with technology. I probably should have someone else outsourced here to be able to help me set up my microphone. I was always an entrepreneur but I was an athlete before that. I am always growth-minded. For me, entrepreneurship is not something I just wanted to do. It's something I fell into because I knew I wasn't good enough to be an athlete. When I was growing up, I was the youngest kid in the world to start racing bicycles. I started racing motorcycles at four years old. It was two years old bikes and four-year-old motocross. My parents split up. That's where I started feeling like a lot of the things that set people back, which are things that happened in your past when you were younger. They still affect you to this day, whether you had a perfect home or not.
I didn't have a perfect home. My dad didn't like my mom. My mom didn't like my dad. That was difficult, but I remember my dad teach me a few things along that path. One of them was that if he had a weed whacker and a lawnmower, he would never be broke because he can always exchange value for dollars. I never had a thought of getting a job growing up. It never was something that I thought I had to do. I always knew I could go out there and somehow exchange some type of value for dollars. Though, you want to get past that point of being the person who is the value inside of the business, which was something that I didn't learn right away. My dad owned a carpet cleaning business and he still was one of the technicians out there cleaning carpets. He never graduated to being the manager or being the owner of that business. He was still the person providing the service.
It wasn't until I discovered my responsibilities, which probably is going to speak to a lot of people that are reading this. When I got married, I didn't have to think about myself because that's all I was thinking about up to that point. I was getting enough money to be able to sleep in a joint apartment with some of my other friends, to be able to go after my passions and what I love. As soon as I got married, I felt the responsibility of the provider of the home. The number one positive shame in men inside of America at least, I assume across the world, is the inability to be able to provide for the family. I felt that responsibility and that's when I started figuring out like most of you, "What's the way that I can create the life that I want to be able to give freedom to my family, spend time with my wife and my future kids?"
That's when I went into business. Since then, I feel like every year, it's been more of a commitment where I've shed the athleticism and wanting to be this. I golfed every day for a year and a half. Even though I'm not a golfer, I needed some outlet from the business. I wasn't putting that effort into my business and it took that to build at first. Now, I have the freedom to be able to go surfing and things like that later on. That's been my progression of going from an athlete to becoming an entrepreneur.
[bctt tweet="No person should be in a business without an assistant. " username=""]
Talk to me about your first real entrepreneur endeavor. I'm not talking about selling baseball cards when you were little but you're real entrepreneur endeavor. Who was the first person that you hired to get that off the ground? How did that go?
Even though people say baseball cards, my first entrepreneur endeavor was when I was twelve years old. I had a full-on landscaping business. The first people I hired are the kids from my school to go door to door. I paid the kids commission based on the jobs that they did. Commissions on the sales and on the fulfilled job. Those were the first things that I did as an entrepreneur. Going into network marketing was one of the first businesses I ever had. It is cool because I built a huge team of thousands of people, but I didn't have to pay the people. It is an intrapreneurial-type position. From there, we started our first health coaching company and inside of that, my first hire was my wife, which is super beneficial as well.
From there though, an assistant is always the first thing. Outside, you have executive assistants, you have assistants in the office and you have personal assistants inside of it. For me, the assistant's position was how can we get them to do everything that I do and my wife does that we don't need to do inside of the business. All of these tasks and all this stuff that we were doing were good for a time, but at this point, our time would've been better spent somewhere else. That's where we decided that we need to find someone who can take over all these tasks that we're doing so we could free up more of our time. The second place that we always hired was sales and marketing. Those are the three progressions that we had. It was like, "We're spending all this time selling, we need to be able to switch this up. Now, we have more people to sell, we need more leads coming in." The assistant is number one for sure for every business. I don't think any person should be in a business without an assistant.
What do you look for in an assistant? What are some tasks that you gave them to take off their plate from the beginning?
The first thing we do is we make sure that they take a personality test. I personally use DISC. This is the same thing that Tony Robbins uses. You can go to TonyRobbins.com/DISC. They can take a free test, that's his version. Inside of that, I'm looking for someone who's not just fully task-oriented, but also a little bit people-oriented. That's the foundation. I want to know that their natural instincts are to be organized. That'd be more of a C-personality type. Someone who's okay with doing tasks and not having to talk to tons of people. I don't need someone in the office interrupting people all day and having to talk to everyone. I make sure that that's a big deal.
The second thing inside of that is values. If you look at the values, there are dominant personalities. These would be more of your salespeople and your drivers. You have more of the influential personalities, which are more of your charismatic people that are great to have at events greeting people. They're excited all the time. They are the life of the party. Inside that, you have the values as well. Where do they want to be? When I look in an assistant, I don't want them to be someone who is all about the money because, at that point, they'll always leave for a new position. I want them to be more about the impact and the vision of the company. I look at the DISC test and I'm able to decipher like, "Are they in it because they need to make money? Will they leave for the next biggest opportunity?" They'll always be like, "How can I get more out of this?"
Are they more about the impact we're creating? Do they want stability? They want a place where they can do their things and separate work from life. Those are the first things that I look at. When it comes to tasks, the first job description I would give to any assistant is what is an entrepreneur? We trained some assistants. We don't train virtually. We train in-house high paid executive assistance. It's because Amanda has been offered $150,000 to $200,000 a year to do what she does for me, for other people. We've been able to train other people inside of our office to be able to do that. We don't do it for pay, so no one can hire me or anything like that.
Healthy Business And Life: If you're the most attractive character of your business, it's good to be able to leverage your story and your shortcomings to relate to an audience.
We do it for some of our guys. The first thing we try to get them to do is what are the things that you're entrepreneurial or the person that you're working with is doing that you feel that he doesn't absolutely need to do? Me, being on this show is something I need to do. You asked me to be on the show. I'm the one that's talking. I can't outsource this part of it, but I can outsource every single part outside of that that I don't need to do. For me, a lot of that comes down to photo editing, video editing, reaching out and booking. We do a lot of sponsorship for events. Our assistant will reach out to all the companies with the script that we created. We do stuff when it comes to booking on the show. I am on the show almost every single day. That all comes from a strategic way that my assistant is reaching out to different platforms. They're making sure that they know who we are and using our scripts. Ultimately, like video editing, picture editing, email inbox and all of those different little things that don't need to be done by you. Where are the most of your time going? It's making the least amount of impact that you don't need to push the button inside of your business. I make a list of those things. I start training and teaching in those areas.
What about sales? A lot of people struggle with sales They are not only hiring for that, but they teach them and then retain afterward. What's your mentality when it comes to a good salesperson?
Your compensation drives behavior. This is the exact opposite of hiring for an assistant. We've hired sales in multiple different companies. That's the biggest thing. If you're a salesperson, you don't want to give them too much too easily. They've shown that once a salesperson makes six figures, they get lazy. If they can crush it in seven days, put in a little bit of work and make six figures, they'll end up being a little bit lazier. You want to build a compensation structure that allows them to hit that six-figure mark with an effort, but not to the point where they never get there and allow that compensation to drive their behaviors. They're setting up bonuses and road like jumps where they sell a certain amount where they make more commission on what they're doing.
When it comes to hiring, I use the DISC as well. I am usually looking for a DI-personality because they're dominant. They are someone who can ask for a sale. Whereas the I-personality, their number one fear is what do people think of them? They don't have a lot of that D-personality that drives that A-player style. A lot of I can look at are college athletes. They're usually going to be pretty good at sales. When I look at their DISC test and I see that they are high I, but they have no D. They're going to be everyone's friend on the phone, but no one's going to buy from them because they're too scared to ask for the sale. They're too scared to be rejected by someone that likes them.
Whereas if they have D and no I-personality, all of a sudden, I'm looking at it and I'm going, "This guy's going to be a jerk," because he's going to be like, "Are you going to buy or not?" He doesn't care at all about what that person thinks of him. He's all about the tasks of making the sale. There are benefits to both sides of that. I'm looking for that outgoing personality that also has the ability to ask for the close. Does this have to be someone trained? Not always. That's something I learned from my father as well. He used to hate untraining people and all the bad habits that they had learned. He'd rather train and instill good habits as long as someone has the foundation or the capacity to become great in that area.
The second thing is to prove it yourself first. Go out there and make sales. Make sure that you can create the structure for someone to know that they're successful. There's nothing worse than throwing people into a position, not knowing how much they should sell. They don't know what it takes to become successful. They don't know the proven path and you're like, "Go do it." Let's say you have it where they sell $30,000. They make 15%, but until then they make 10%. They're selling $7,000 a month. They are just looking at that $30,000 mark. They are like, "I don't know what to do to get there." You're like, "I made it up because I haven't done it either."
Definitely, go first and make sure that you understand the position, but that doesn't mean you have to stay inside of it for a long time. It's like, "Do you understand what it takes to become successful? Do you understand what they're going through? Can you then place them into that position and create success?" A lot of times you can find someone else who's done it as well. I have a friend that owns a Salesfloor with 50 people. I called him. I said, "This is what we're doing. This is what our product is. This is our price points. What would you advise me to do on this?" That's the power of a network and reading a blog like this.
[bctt tweet="There's nothing worse than throwing people into a position not knowing how much they should sell. " username=""]
Let's talk about marketing. We were going around the horn. What do you look for in a marketer? Are you looking for someone that has a lot of different skills that they can do it all? Are you looking to specialize? You mentioned that you enjoy training someone from the ground up. Is that the same when it comes to marketing?
For good marketers, absolutely. For people that are phenomenal visionaries and they know all the strategies, then definitely do that. What I found is that as the progression of a company grows, I learned this from my friend Brandon Poulin. He does $60 million at 25 years old. They have over 100 contractors. He scaled the company up to about that point with teaching a girl going to high school how to run ads the way that he did and did all the media buying. At some point, it took him going out there and buying out an entrepreneur because the entrepreneur knows how to do it.
The way that he did that is you look at the size. Let's say there's a guy out there who owns an agency, but he doesn't want to sell all the time. He wants a little bit more job security. He wants to be a part of a winning team. He has a certain amount of profit inside of the agency. If he's doing $50,000 a month, that's a good agency. Good job, but inside that $50,000 a month, he has a profit of let's say $15,000 a month, which probably is still pretty good. He goes out there and says, "We're willing to pay you $15,000 or $20,000 a month to come and work with us, but you don't have to worry about any of these accounts anymore. You just get $1 million a month ad budget." That person's like, "Oh my gosh."
He knows what he's doing. He gets to go in there. He gets to take the business to the next level. When I first started hiring for this position, I'm in Russell Brunson's inner circle. I'm around the top marketers in the world. I had the vision for it, but I hated pushing the buttons and all the little nuances of creating all the audiences, retargeting and setting up the actual ad. I looked for people that were students of good programs. They were not good at selling, but they were good as they knew what to do. They could run the play if you set it up. They had creative ideas. They were pretty good at what they did in my specific niche.
I'd be around the events, ticket sales, high-ticket coaching and lead generation via email. That would be me. I'd be looking for people that one, there were students that specialized in that area and two you can catch them at the beginning because usually, marketers are not that good at sales. They're good at pushing the buttons. They'll win if they get a client but they're struggling to make that close. Then you go ask them, "How would you like to come move to Sunny San Diego, be inside of our office and not have to sell anymore? You can gain the skills, talents and abilities. You've just got to do what you love to do, which is marketing."
A lot of times, they'll be like, "I don't have to worry about sales, trying to close and doing all that. I can focus on what I'm good at." I'd say at least do that. If you have a budget, I would hire a full in-house good person, which would be Brian Delaney. Brian Delaney is phenomenal. He's convinced me. He's not cheap. It is $15,000 if you want to sit down with him for a day. He's someone that can build up everything and manage everything. They're already proven that they are good at what they do. It depends on the budget, your skillset and what you want to do.
The very first one would be like, have someone test out ads for you and maybe do a trade. Maybe do a month where it's like a test trial period where it's only $1,000 or $1,500 to have them set it up for you, that's a student of someone who's amazing. I took a student from Douglas James. He does marketing for local businesses. Who are the top students from other people's courses that are expensive? Take their students that are doing great and have them test out stuff for you. If they were good students, they're going to know everything that good person knows.
Healthy Business And Life: The biggest thing for the highest conversion that you can do making the community fall in love with the community.
Let's talk about The Billion Dollar Body. How did that come about? What's the story behind it? Tell the audience what it's all about.
I'm big on turning your mess into your message. As a front runner of your brand, every brand needs an attractive character. If you're the most attractive character of your business, it's good to be able to leverage your story and your shortcomings to be able to relate to an audience. They can relate more to your failures than they can to your successes. Most people haven't had a lot of success. They only relate to the fact that you failed because everyone's had failures. I was 60 pounds overweight. I was too scared to go into business. I was too scared to talk to a girl. I saw that throughout that there were three core areas that every man can help source, which were health, wealth and relationships. I went out there and lost 60 pounds. That gave me the confidence to reconnect with my father and talk to my wife of many years who has had my baby inside her stomach. What I saw from that was like, "That gave me confidence to go out there and give me an opportunity." I got married and I had no income. Throughout that process, I was like, "I've lost the weight and kept it off."
This is the area that I'm an expert in. I've been able to do it myself. I'm going to tell them and leverage that story to build a brand that works with entrepreneurs from my future vision of creating the brotherhood, talking about health, wealth and relationships. I remember I didn't talk about wealth at all until I grossed $500,000 in my business. I was like, "I'm not going to talk about business. I'm not going to talk about wealth." I didn't know the inside of your business. You can bring in experts to talk about the area you're not good at. You don't have to be good at everything. This was a shortcoming for me. I also wait until I was married for five years to talk about relationships, but it all started out with one product to one niche that solved one problem. I helped men who are business owners lose body fat, belly fat specifically.
Is it on the front, back, sides or all three? How much do you want to lose? Can you pinch it or can you grab it? If you move, does it jiggle? That was how we targeted those people. After I built the community of the men, I then surveyed the community and figured out what are the problems they need? What are they trying to solve going forward? They wanted the community. They wanted brotherhood. We launched the live event. I launched the brotherhood as a $10,000 package. We sold 25 of them in 48 hours. I was like, "This was what they wanted. This is phenomenal." We kept running using my story, the vision of the brand and stories that overcome objections in building a community. In the community, we built products to serve them. We've consistently built products that continue to serve the community rather than making the community buy the product.
What are some quick tips to lose body fat or to lose belly fat?
The biggest thing is there are five core functions of health or the five physical attributes. You've got breath, hydration, sleep, nutrition and exercise. Most people think nutrition and exercise are the most important thing. It's not. If you don't eat and you don't exercise, you can live for quite a while. Try holding your breath, you'll live for five minutes and you'll be dead. You want to make sure that throughout the day, you're using something called box breathing. This is something like Tony Robbin's priming breath. That's a great way to instill a habit of breath because you detox the majority of your liquid and your body through your breath. People are always afraid to eat pigs because they don't sweat or they sweat through their mouths, the same with dogs.
We detox through our mouth. It's a huge way to mobilize fat but also decreases stress. The second is hydration. Drink 30 ounces of water before you eat anything and then eight ounces of water every hour that you're awake or go for a gallon a day. It's something to be able to replenish your body. Your body will only keep the main core functions of your body alive if it doesn't have any excess. If you only eat two beans a day, you're not going to gain muscle because your body doesn't have enough materials, but it will keep you alive. There are people in the Holocaust, they live off the little thing alive, which means that your body can keep you alive. You will not flourish.
The third is sleep. For each person, that's different. I wear an Oura Ring to track. I get about 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep minimum every single night. I want to track and see my REM sleep and my deep sleep. The next thing that everyone wants to hear is the eating and working out. The biggest thing is making sure that you're having a rounded meal protein in every single meal to curve insulin. When you have a big insulin response, you're going to store body fat. If you don't have any protein, you're going to end up eating more fat or carbs. It's fine but if you add a little bit of protein, you can decrease the carb load and decrease your insulin response. Meaning, add a little bit of protein each meal and you'll decrease your chance to be able to store body fat. You'll use that food for fuel rather than going to fat storage for winter because we don't need that anymore.
[bctt tweet="Most people haven't had a lot of success. That is why they only relate to the fact that you failed because everyone has had failures. " username=""]
The next thing is high-intensity workouts, short high intensity, and heavy weightlifting. Those are two things. If you go to high intensity too long, you start burning testosterone and start gaining body fat. This is why you can find fat runners and fat long-distance cyclists, but if you sprinters, they're always muscular. Short, high-intensity workouts, maybe twenty minutes or below. Sometimes 40 minutes, high-intensity, continual workout and then heavy lifting. The way that you can do that is to lift heavy and then do a high-intensity workout every day. If people go to the BillionDollarBody.com/challenge, I still have it set up. They can get fifteen high-intensity workouts that boost testosterone and drop the most amount of body fat in under twenty minutes every day for fifteen days.
This has been great. We talked about hiring, entrepreneurship and your body. What about membership sites? I know that's your expertise. Someone out there that are reading our blog and want to get that residual income. They want to build a community. They want to have a successful membership site. What do you tell them?
The biggest thing for the highest conversion that you can do and the biggest thing to build community and retention is you want the community to fall in love with the community. It's not just the product because as soon as they get the answer, they'll leave. If they fall in love with the community, they're going to stay. One of the best ways to be able to do that is to throw some workshops, live event or some meetups. Something that's in person for them to fall in love with the community. Inside of those workshops for 2 to 3 days, a live event for 2 to 3 days, meetup for one day. If you do a meetup, sell the workshop or the live event. At the workshop or live event, sell a year or lifetime membership bundled into something else. That way you can sell high-tickets. That's one of the easiest ways to be able to get sales because you have them in person. You have their attention and you have a follow-up afterward.
This has been a core way that I've been able to build my business. It's something I believe that if you follow the script, it works. I followed the script the very first time I ever sold from the stage. I sold $250,000 in 48 hours. I had never sold from the stage before. I followed the blueprint of what worked for everyone before. We helped our other men follow the blueprint as well. Since I've sold over $1 million from stage from a handful of events, that's the best way to indoctrinate. Get these true believers in what you're doing. Get them to stay and be a part of what you do.
Nick, this has been great. Where can people find out more about you? What are you most excited about?
I'm most excited about prepping to be a dad. That's what I am most excited about.
You had a good story. I want to say congratulations.
Thanks. I'm really excited about that. Inside the business, I'm excited about working with the right people. We've made some good shifts to work with some high-end and high-level entrepreneurs. I'm excited to see the impact of that and the happiness level on my side. When it comes to following me, @NicholasBayerle on Instagram. It is a phenomenal place to be able to connect. I do a lot of stories. I do a lot of fun stuff. I have raised $100 giveaway. I want to do a lot more of them. I was like, "Why not pay the people rather than paying the platform?" That'd be fun. Outside of that, The Billion Dollar Brotherhood Facebook group. They say they came from me and they are my men. Let's connect. There are 2,800 other men that own businesses that are all like-minded wanting to grow in these three areas.
Thanks again for your time. I appreciate it.

eCommerce Email Marketing: 4 Essentials for Rapid Success5 Soft Skills You Need to Freelance Successfully


Diversity has become the theme song of Riverwest. Partly it is a catchword, but it does reflect a significant economic reality. Though some residential properties here are selling in the $150,000 range, plenty of people struggle to stay afloat financially. While coffeehouses open and expand, some of our neighbors cannot afford to put a meal on the table. Front and center among local efforts to serve needy people is Donna Fletcher and the food pantries she coordinates — one at St. Casimir's hall and one at Gaenslen School. She estimates the pantries serve about 500 people each month; the exact number for June was 269. A long-time Riverwest resident, Donna taught middle-school children at Fratney and Gaenslen schools until she retired in 2003. She recalls that for many years she used to imagine helping at the Milwaukee Hunger Task Force when she would pass by their former headquarters on Vienna Street just west of Humboldt. It was natural, then, for her to get involved when people from Riverwest public elementary schools came up with the idea of a opening a food pantry. They were disturbed about children coming to school hungry. Riverwest's food pantries work like this: if a person shows up at either site with a photo ID and proof that his/her address is within the 53212 or 53211 zip code area, they are eligible for a monthly allocation of food. Depending on family size, they can make selections of meats/protein, bread/cereal, canned fruits and vegetables (fresh produce is occasionally available), and toiletries. About a dozen people come in every week to staff the Saturday pantry at St. Casimir's. Some help with registration, others hand out foodstocks or serve coffee and juice. The ultimate welcoming touch is provided by two women who bring in fresh, home-baked cookies. The St. Casimir food pantry might be located in a church basement, but the feeling of the space is respectful and warm. The pantry at St. Casimir's offers services as well. Teresa Flaherty, parish nurse, answers health questions and helps people apply for low-income health insurance. She also checks blood pressure and gives flu shots. With volunteers Jeff Johnson and Lynn Gruber, Teresa has set up a "job center" with employment postings and a county bus map to show people how to get to a new job site. The job center recently offered a training session teaching how to apply for a job, and there are plans for a mentoring network to help new employees. At the Tuesday afternoon pantry, Donna gets help from the Gaenslen School community. It is common practice for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to contribute an item of food for the pantry as the price of admission to a school dance. School social worker Heather Fraaza receives the names of needy clients from shelters around the city. People who dial the 211 Community Info Line for emergency help are often directed through her to the Gaenslen pantry if they live in 53212 or 53211. Whereas the St. Casimir site relies heavily on contributions from the Riverbank Catholic Connection and volunteers from Our Lady of Divine Providence parish, the Gaenslen site receives regular donations from the nearby community of Quakers and the weavers who meet in the school basement; those who volunteer on Tuesdays are usually current or retired Gaenslen staff members. Like the St. Casimir site, the Gaenslen pantry offers an assortment of clothing along with stocks of food. Neither location will serve people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Unlike the St. Casimir site, the Gaenslen pantry always offers infant formula. Both pantry sites are supported by the Milwaukee Hunger Task Force. Besides advocating for laws and social programs to achieve food security, the Task Force has extensive food collection networks, including the successful food drive of local letter carriers in May. The Task Force provides basic stocks for the food pantries, but Donna and her network of donors are expected to come up with additional contributions. Donna helped set up the pantry at Gaenslen and worked there as a volunteer until she took on the role of coordinator for both pantry sites. In the beginning she was paid for her work as coordinator; since the grant that covered her salary ran out, she has been unpaid. When she talks about the food pantries, Donna emphasizes how gratified she is at the way people have stepped in to take initiative and get involved. She feels especially supported by Fr. Gerry Hessel, pastor at Our Lady of Divine Providence. With heart-felt dedication to helping the hungry people he meets in this neighborhood, he helps collect donations of food, has arranged for storage and freezer space at St. Casimir's, and volunteers on Saturday mornings. Liz Fisher, a retired Gaenslen staff member who regularly helps out at the Tuesday pantry, is awed by the unsung generosity of the food pantry volunteers, remarking how even former clients of the food pantry "want to be able to give back in some way, shape or form." Donna concurs: "Without the donations and the volunteer efforts of neighborhood residents, the food pantries would not exist." What brings people out to help at a food pantry? A sampling of responses from volunteers brings comments like these: "It's no big deal. It's the least I can do." "We are so blessed; the least we can do is help out others who might be going through hard times." "I just like being here." For Donna Fletcher, "It's mostly about gratitude. I feel that I have so much," she says, "and I want to give back." She and her network of donors and volunteers are humble about their work, but every week they quietly do what they can to alleviate hunger in our neighborhood. Anyone who would like to volunteer or make donations to the food pantries can contact Donna Fletcher at 704-6046, at her office at Gaenslen School at 267-5700, or at these locations: Gaenslen Food Pantry 1250 East Burleigh St. (enter from parking lot in back of building, Door #14) Tuesdays: 4:30-6:30 Riverwest Food Pantry 924 East Clarke St. (first door inside parking lot on Weil St.) Saturdays: June-August 8:30-10:30, September-May 9:00-11:00 Donna wants all neighborhood gardeners to know that any produce that they harvest this season will be much appreciated at the food pantries. Clients are literally hungry for fresh food.

When my parents told me six month ago that my middle brother Albert would be joining our little roommate situation for some undetermined amount of time, I was a little nervous.
Except, subtract the little nervous and add in freaking terrified.
I love my brother very much, but we are the perfect storm of really similar and really different in all the wrong ways.
But I'm happy to report that most of my concerns were silly and we have gotten along swimmingly. For the most part.
It is actually really enjoyable having him around and we've been able to spend more time together in the last six months than we have in the last six years.
And the best part is that he shares my extreme love of food.
He is never afraid of trying new things and mixing things in odd combinations.
So it's no surprise that he inspired what is now my all time favorite burger. A burger so delicious that I had to give it a name.
Who better to name it after than the man who inspired it?
Start by cooking your maple bacon in a large, heavy sauté pan over low heat. The lower you cook your bacon, the better of a crisp you will get it.
Cook your bacon for 20 to 30 minutes, until brown and crisped.
While the bacon is cooking, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper and grated onion in a bowl and use your hands to combine completely.
Divide the beef into 4 equal parts and roll them into patties about 4 inches in diameter. Brush them lightly with the oil and set them aside.
Heat your grill to a medium high heat.
When the bacon is done cooking, add in your sliced shallots to the bacon fat and cook them down for about 15 minutes, until they are very brown and soft.
While the shallots are cooking down, combine the avocado, jalapeno, diced onion, garlic powder and lime juice in a medium sized bowl and combine until the avocados are mashed and everything is well combined.
By now, the shallots should be cooked down. Remove them from the heat and add them to a serving plate with the tomatoes, lettuce, and the bacon (chop each piece into 2 pieces).
Take your cheese and your burger patties out to the grill. Place your patties down on a hot part of a grill and sear the patties on one side for 2 minutes. Flip the patties and sear them over a hot part of the grill for another 2 minutes and then move it to a slightly cooler part of the grill.
Add a slice of cheese to each patty and continue to cook the patties until the cheese has completely melted.
As soon as the cheese has melted, add the buns to the grill and heat them for 10 to 20 seconds to give them a good toast.
Spread the bottom of each bun with 2 tablespoons of the avocado spread and top the spread with a burger.
Top the burger, 3 half bacon pieces, the browned shallots, lettuce and tomato.
Serve hot to those with a hearty appetite.


Like Z�e and Liz before her, Nyssa had a brilliant intellect. She was particularly gifted in the field of bioelectronics. But she was also born into the ruling class on her home planet. Had her planet not been destroyed by the Master, she likely would have followed her father, Tremas, into the highest echelons of government.
Instead, she was left as a homeless wanderer with the Doctor, forced to encounter the Master on several subsequent occasions. Although largely unexplored by the script writing team, this must've been quite traumatic, as the Master had taken control of her father's body. Thus, every time she encountered the malevolent force that was the Master, she was looking into the face of her father.
Though she would leave the series with this mine of potential drama untapped, she has gotten something of a rebirth from the audios and at least one novel.
Peter Davison, the actor who played the Fifth Doctor, is known to have preferred Nyssa to all his other companions. He vocally stood up to the production team, who wanted to get rid of her. He has expressed regret over never having gotten to do a televised story featuring just the two of them. With the advent of the Big Finish audio range, however, he has gotten his wish on several occasions. Many of the Fifth Doctor/Nyssa adventures are considered to be some of the very best audios produced to date.
U.N.I.T. members aside, Nyssa is unusual�and possibly unique�in the history of Doctor Who companions in that she was not specifically created as a companion. She was originally just a guest star who was asked to return for a limited number of stories following her debut. Consequently, her character is actually owned by Johnny Byrne, writer of her first story, "The Keeper of Traken". In this way, the copyright to her character is very like that of the Daleks.
This makes her use on the show all the more puzzling. They were having to pay royalties to Johnny Byrne each and every episode she starred in, yet they barely used her.

Editorial: Definition of community
Editorial BoardRenee Campbell, publisherJim Patterson, editorSheli Steele, advertising directorTom Kleinschnitz, community representativeContact the Editorial Board at editor@CraigDailyPress.com.
It's odd how, sometimes, the worst in us is what brings out the best in us … the best of us.
Late last month, someone — or perhaps several someones —broke into the Community Budget Center and helped themselves to a television set and an undisclosed amount of cash from the store's donation box. The culprit or culprits also caused damage to the building itself.
This would be bad enough had it been done to anyone, but to steal from the Community Budget Center — an organization that offers emergency assistance to people in dire need — is about as low as low ever gets, and it's certainly a fine example of the worst of us.
But we'd much rather write about the best of us.
As details of the burglary emerged, we learned that, as a consequence of this detestable act, the thrift store and the social service organization it supports were not expected to have sufficient funding to provide assistance for the month of June, which would almost certainly have left many or our friends and neighbors in need to remain in need.
Now, however — thanks to a swift and generous response from this amazing community — the center will be able to continue offering its vital services uninterrupted.
Once the news hit the street, the center was inundated by a deluge of donations, including cash, equipment and services. Community Budget Center Executive Director Karen Brown estimated that about $4,000 in donations were received in a little less than a week, buoying the center and allowing its services to continue.
"We have plenty of assistance in June," Brown told the Craig Press. "It's been such a blessing. I was so emotional. It was crazy. It just kept coming in."
The center received monetary donations from Craig Apothecary, Faith Lutheran Church, Great Divide Cleaning Services and the Northwest Colorado Chapter of Parrotheads. In addition, Memorial Regional Health and High Rapid Networks donated equipment to improve the store's security system, and a number of individuals stopped by the store to offer smaller cash donations.
"What turned out to be a really bad thing just makes the communty shine and shows you how much they care," Brown noted.
We wholeheartedly agree, though we're not at all surprised. Time and again, this community has shown what it's made of — caring, supportive and generous individuals and groups who pull together and help one another in times of need. This incident was no exception.
It's disgraceful that someone would steal from a facility the serves so many people in need, but it is equally admirable that the community rallied so quickly and so selflessly to get the center back in business.
As a community, we sometimes disagree with one other, and sometimes, these disagreements become heated. But when the chips are down, we stand together, and that's the definition of community.
There will probably always be those among us who think only of themselves, people who, for whatever reason, believe their own selfish wants outweigh the honest needs of others.
But so long as we continue to respond to such individuals by undoing their evil deeds with compassion and generosity, they will not prevail.
Editorial: Yampa River is a blessing, sometimes a curse for Moffat County

MMO2767 - Post-medieval peat cutting on Horcombe (Monument)
A large area of peat cutting is visible on aerial photographs as numerous small pits and irregular earthworks, possibly extracted for domestic fuel or turfing enclosure walls. It was most likely abandoned in the late 19th or 20th Century.
Please read the caveat document.

A large area of peat cutting, of probable post-medieval date, is visible on aerial photographs as numerous small pits and irregular earthworks on Horcombe, south of the River Barle, Exmoor and covering an area of approximately 8 hectares. The earthworks are centred on SS 7433 3822 and are of a variety of shapes and sizes, from square or rectangular pits measuring 10 metres across, to less regularly shaped, curved or branching trenches up to 60 metres across. Due to the vast number of pits visible on aerial photographs, only a representative sample has been transcribed, indicating distribution and form. It is likely that these cuttings were worked mainly in the mid to late 19th Century, following the acquisition of the former Royal Forest by the Knight family. Prior to that date this area would have been within the forest boundaries. Peat cutting is known to have continued on Exmoor until very recently, and may continue in places. A similar area visible to the east may have been in use at the same time; the pattern of pits and trenches are quite similar. [1-4] A study of the archaeology and history of peat exploitation on Exmoor's moorlands provides additional background on the practice and sites. [5]

Residents Help Sought In Investigating Missing Person and Car Crash
Mountain Jackpot
~ by Trevor Phipps ~
Last week, two incidents occurred that motivated local police to reach out to the public for help.
One of these has been resolved successfully, but in another case, authorities are still asking for resident assistants.
The first case involved a single vehicle crash that resulted in the death of a woman and the second was a case that had to do with a missing elderly man.
On Dec. 30, just after 10 p.m., the state patrol responded to a car wreck at the intersection of Teller 421 and 1. Investigators say that the driver, 53-year-old Beth Anderson, was heading westbound on CR 421 or Upper Twin Rock Road when her car veered off the right side of the road, hit a lamp post and flipped over onto its side.
When authorities arrived, Anderson was pronounced dead on the scene. Reports say that Anderson was not wearing her seat belt. The state patrol is asking for help with the investigation and wants anyone who may have witnessed the accident to call Trooper Thomas DeAntonio at 719-544-2424. The case is still being actively investigated.
But this was just one incident that authorities recently asked for the public's assistance.
Last Friday, the Teller County Sheriff's Office put out a press release stating that an "at-risk" senior citizen was missing and was last seen at a hardware store in Colorado Springs. The 81 year-old man, Kenneth Klug, who suffers from dementia, was initially reported as a missing person and authorities believed that he might have been headed to Wisconsin
The man apparently had a cell phone, but he left it at his residence and he was unable to be reached.
Authorities were concerned about his safety and issued a silver alert to ask the public to help locate the elderly man. The police sent out a press release that gave detailed descriptions of Klug, what he was wearing and the vehicle he was driving.
A fairly visible alert message was also posted on the Hwy. 24 electronic signs, operated by the Colorado Department of Transportation. Residents were advised to check out local media outlets regarding the man's disappearance..
Many concerns were voiced about Klug's whereabouts; as quite often, these cases don't have happy endings.
However, shortly after the sheriff's office issued the press release stating that Klug was considered a missing person, deputies sent out an e-mail to notify media sources that Klug had been located and was safe.
"Mr. Klug has been found safe and is at his residence," Deputy Renee Bunting said in the e-mail. "Thanks for all your assistance!"

Q: Avoid Blurry texts when having 150% of normal DPI (windows 8.1) (yes, it is a common problem but the found solutions are not acceptable for me)
I am using one screen 1920 x 1080 and 125% of normal DPI is even little for me and prefer to have 150% on windows 8.1.
When DPI = 150% texts in opera and chrome are blurry but not in Firefox

When DPI = 125% (default) text is cristal clear just they are small

I have tried solutions that allegedly solved my problem:

*

*a) turning on Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays - no effect on text sharpness (see the first image)

*b) Program's context menu > Compatibility tab > check Disable display scaling on High DPI settings - the program ignores 150% scaling and shows like on 125% scaling. This means Text size is small:

Note that even device manager (native Windows program) is blurry on 150% DPI.

So, I am searching for a method to get clear and big size text in all programs (e.g. opera, chrome) on windows 8.1

A: Chrome has been lacking support for DirectWrite to render fonts on Windows. The issue you are describing is what happens not only on high DPI settings but also on normal (100%) settings.
There is a long and old thread on the Chromium issues website: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25541
The developers said they already enable it on Chrome Canary builds but there is no timetable on when the regular version of Chrome will support it.
You can enable DirectWrite launching the latest Chrome Canary build with the following parameters:
# To enable DirectWrite:
--enable-direct-write --no-sandbox

# To enable DirectWrite and sub-pixel font scaling:
--enable-direct-write --no-sandbox --enable-experimental-web-platform-features

The above parameters were listed by one of the developers in the same thread. The post link is https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25541#c61
Be warned the by disabling the sandbox feature you are compromising one of Chrome's security features.
Opera, which uses Webkit, has the same problem as Chrome.

A: I am using also 1920 x 1080. In Chrome Beta Version 37 (I do not know if it is yet available in stable Chrome) you can go into flags (chrome://flags) and enable distance field text. Now the text is much clearer when I zoom (but not all sites).

A: I have Win 7 64bit and I solved the problem by checking the compatibility with Win XP (SP 2).
So right click on Chrome->Compatibility->Check: Run this program in compatibility with->Select: Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
Before, I had it checked and selected for Win 7, or not checked at all.

A: Windows Registry editing fixed the font thickness issue for me completely, we can tune the font thickness/darkness by calibrating  FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA  value to between 150 and 190 hexadecimal( 336 to 400 decimal )
-     START  ->  RUN  ->  REGEDIT
-     search for  FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA   by  keying  " Ctrl F "  ( will automatically take us to  CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Desktop  path)
-     double-click mouse on  FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA   enter anything between 150 and 190 hexadecimal.(the Lower the value, the thicker the fonts.)
-     close the REGEDIT tool
-     LOGOFF and then LOGON

Now all the fonts are very thick & very dark in Chrome Browser.
But we must make sure that ClearType smoothing is enabled in Windows( controlPanel  ->  personalization  ->  appearance  ->   Effects   ->      ClearType smooth check (ticked box) )
                     OR  alternately in RegEdit ...

         FONTSMOOTHING=2
         FONTSMOOTHINGTYPE=2
         FONTSMOOTHINGORIENTATION=1  for LCD-screen,  0 for CRT-screen

Home News UPDATE: Three people die in house fire on Napier-Taupo highway
UPDATE: Three people die in house fire on Napier-Taupo highway
A third person has died after a house fire on the Rangitaiki Plains near Taupo in the early hours of Friday morning.
Police confirmed a man had died of his injuries on Friday night.
A woman and an infant were also killed in the fire, and were extended family of the occupants.
A cordon is in place at the entrance of the Rangitaiki house in the aftermath of the fatal fire.
Police say a scene examination is ongoing and will be continued on Saturday.
A family friend who declined to give her name said the occupants of the house were a nine-months pregnant mother, her male partner, their eight-year-old special-needs son, the mother's teenage sister and the sister's six-month-old infant.
The family have only been recently joined by the teenager and her child, the friend said.
A family friend identified the occupants of the house as an extended family of three adults, a schoolboy and an infant.
She said she could not be positive who the survivors were, except that the schoolboy had been provided with clothes by the local school before he boarded the helicopter.
She could also not be positive if a visitor was involved or if a family member was away.
"We just hope the two who died didn't suffer."
Marion Klaus is owner of the Rangitaiki Tavern saw the helicopter and the lights of the emergency vehicles. "It's a pretty devatasting morning."
The Rangitaiki community are pulling together after the death of a woman and infant in an early morning fire.
Taupo Mayor David Trewavas said that neighbours are reeling, but they will do all they can to help those affected by the fire.
Three people from the property were flown to Waikato Hospital after the farmhouse – understood to be four-years-old – went up in flames on State Highway 5 at Rangitaiki, about 40km east of Taupo, just before 3am on Friday.
"The community are very tight-knit and they will certainly be feeling the full effect of this tragic accident," Trewavas said.
"The area had to recently pull together when unseasonable weather hit including snow."
When fire crews arrived about 3am, the 20-by-30 metre house was engulfed in flames, Northern Fire Communications shift manager Scott Osmond said.
Three people managed to escape the fire and were treated by ambulance staff before being flown to hospital.
A man and a woman were treated at Waikato Hospital, but were later discharged. Another man, who was initially in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit died of his injuries.
Sounding alarms could be heard from the house down the end of a long driveway blanketed in early morning fog.
It was understood the victims, who were relatively new to the area, were from one or possibly two families who were living on the large dairy farm consisting of two milking sheds not far from the Rangitaiki Tavern.
Tavern owner Marion Klaus said the town has been devastated by it.
"I didn't know them personally, but I think they would have come in here before."
She didn't see the fire, but heard the helicopters and saw flashing lights as she was opening up about before 5am on Friday.
"The community has just been amazing. They've just pitched in together as Kiwis do."
A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said a lot of residents had woken to the news.
"It's been an early morning fire, so the community are waking up to it and it's a bit of a shock," she said early on Friday.
She said they were anxiously waiting for more news, but it was devastating to hear what happened.
"We need to wait and see what happens – everyone has been taken to hospital."
It was another blow for the small community that last year went through a month of no power amid a snowstorm, she said.
"I think everyone is in shock – we will be getting together at some stage to digest it all. It's going to be a tough day for us all."
Amid the fog early on Friday, residents began to gather at the Rangitaiki Tavern.
A man who answered the phone said people started to arrive at 7.30am.
"We are the hub of the place … we don't know the true facts yet."
Dog trials were set to take place nearby on Lochinver Station on Friday.
It was understood the destroyed house was on a farm previously owned by the Maxwell family, but had recently been sold.
Osmond said the blaze was in one of a few houses on a large dairy farm, not far from a rotary milking shed.
A fire investigator was at the scene along with fire crews from Taupo.
Taupo Detective Senior Sergeant Matt Cranshaw said police were in the early stages of the investigation and were keeping an open mind as to the cause of the blaze.

Mt Ruapehu Update
UPDATE: Mount Ruapehu Alert Level


Austrian forward has not featured since December 4.
West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic could be back in training next week.
The five-goal Austrian suffered a hamstring injury against Cardiff on December 4 and was expected to be sidelined until well into the new year.
But boss Manuel Pellegrini revealed Arnautovic is ahead of schedule, meaning he could even be involved in the squad against Southampton on December 27 and Burnley three days later.
"We will need to see his last examination, but I think that next week he will start working with the team," said Pellegrini.
The outlook is less optimistic for injury-plagued Jack Wilshere, who has played just five minutes since September due to two separate ankle problems.
"We don't know (when he will be back), we will need to wait for the medical assessment but for this moment, we cannot be sure," said Pellegrini.
The Chilean boss still expects to complete the signing of Samir Nasri on January 1.
The former Manchester City midfielder, a handy replacement for Wilshere if he is ruled out long term, is building up his fitness following an 18-month ban.
Press Association Sport also understands West Ham are exploring the prospect of signing ex-Cardiff midfielder Gary Medel from Besiktas, although Pellegrini remained tight-lipped.
"Those names may be one of 25 names that have been said recently, and it is always the same answer, I do not talk about rumours, I am happy with the squad," he said.
"I know that we need to replace players that probably will not play much more this season like (Andriy) Yarmolenko, (Carlos) Sanchez, (Manuel) Lanzini, so we are calm, we will decide not now what we are going to do but we will decide."
West Ham host Watford on Saturday looking to make it five Premier League wins on the trot for the first time since 2006.
"The most important thing is to be in the top six at the end of the season," said Pellegrini.
"There are still 21 games to go. We are in a good moment now so we must try to take it game by game and add points."

The other day, a friend and I were discussing a school where children were encouraged to discover new things on their own. He'd shown me an article describing the children learning to build or assemble some structure. It reminded me of an instructional process I'd learned almost forty-five years ago at Philmont Scout Ranch. I still use the process to great effect today.
Guided Discovery In this step the learners discover the need for what they are about to learn. In my case, a man came into the classroom where we were assembled and told us a child had been lost in the woods. We were to join others in looking for her. We fanned out and looked high an low for the missing girl. After most of an hour, one boy found her hiding under a bush.
It was all a setup: the girl was acting for our benefit.
Evaluation The idea here is to evaluate the Guided Discovery activity and learn what went wrong and what went right. "Debrief" would also be a good description of this step. In our case, we'd run around wildly looking for the girl. We had no plan or procedure, only a sense of urgency.
Teaching-Learning The next step is to teach the actual content. Because the learners will be primed from the evaluation, they are likely to be more receptive to the content and this step can proceed much faster than in a more traditional learning environment.
We learned how to lay out a search grid and then use it to find a missing person (or anything else, really).
Project In this step, participants try out what they've learned. For us it involved staying in the classroom and waiting for a different child to hide. When we searched, after only a few minutes we found a boy hiding in a crevasse of some rocks.
Evaluation As a wrap-up it's important to debrief the entire experience. Remind the learners what happened, what they learned, and of the success of the Project phase.
This method is based heavily on the idea of constructivism in learning. It is a kind of problem-based learning or experiential learning. Each of these concepts has supporters and detractors, and it is way beyond the scope of this post to discuss their arguments. But, I know that in one afternoon I learned not only how to set up a search grid, but how to employ this teaching method.
Parents tell me that they unconsciously use this method with children. They give them a (fun) task, see how they try, show them a way to do it right, watch them do it, and then remind them what they learned.
Whether it is with children, youth, or adults, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the learners might exhibit a better way to do things during the guided discovery! This makes the whole process a learning experience for everyone and the teaching-learning can become "another way".
The first step needs to be interesting or fun or otherwise gain the interest of the learners. That's important for making them ready for the teaching-learning.
Finally, this seems to work better in some areas than others. It doesn't always have to involve physical activity, but it works especially well when it does. The guided discovery works best for adults when there are one or more groups of learners sharing the experience.
I hope you have a chance to try this process. There are other effective teaching processes, of course, but I've found this one to be particularly useful.


Restaurants and cafes will now have to display calories on the menus of meals provided by them by the end of 2018, according to an initiative launched by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA).
The initiative is being carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and the Consumer Protection Association, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The initiative will be carried out in two stages. In the first stage to be carried out this year, listing calories on menu cards will be optional.
But in the second stage, to be implemented by December 31, it will be mandatory to inform diners about calories of the meals they order, according to SFDA.
This initiative comes as part of the efforts to safeguard consumers' health, and create awareness about the importance of knowing the nutritional value of meals and drinks provided by restaurants and cafes.
Executive Director for Awareness and Information at the SFDA Abdulrahman Bin Sultan Al-Sultan said the names of restaurants and cafés which respond to the initiative will be mentioned on a special page on SFDA website to encourage them.
In the second stage when the listing of calories on menu cards will be mandatory, the SFDA will specify the criteria for food and drinks whose calories ought to be displayed on the menu, Al-Sultan said.
Restaurants and cafes will be given a grace period to comply with the bylaw.
The SFDA will organize workshops to acquaint the public with the initiative and its objectives.
The first workshop was held in Riyadh on Monday at the headquarters of the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI).
In Dammam the workshop will be held at Asharqiya Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 4. In Jeddah it will be held at the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI) on Oct. 9, and in Abha at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters on Oct. 16.
The SFDA has also prepared awareness material and a guidebook for restaurant and café owners to acquaint them with the method of displaying calories.
They will also be given some tips on how to reduce calories in meals and drinks. These tips and advice will be easily available on the SFDA website.


Here is video of GOP Chairman Michael Steele today, January 10, 2010, on Meet the Press where he said "absolutely" the GOP is on track to take back the U.S. Congress in the 2010 Mid-term elections. Steele said the issue is really whether the Democrats "can keep it, and right now, they can't." Steele said the "ground game reports" he is getting shows great momentum for the GOP and he believes they will take back the House and end the Democrats' 60-seat Majority in the Senate.
Separated at birth: Urban Meyer and Michael Steele. The question is, which one does more 180 degree turns in a shorter period of time?
"We can win, but we probably won't"
No credibility there, for sure. El Rushbore probably chewed him out, so he changed his tune.


On 22nd June, the High Court ruled that the revised benefit cap was unlawful, in so far as it applied to lone parents with children under the age of two. The cap of £20,000, or £23,000 in London, is imposed on the benefits received by those not working at least 16 hours a week (24 if a couple). The case was brought on behalf of four lone parents who claimed the new lowered cap discriminates against the most vulnerable in society, who frequently struggle to pay for child care or have zero-hours contracts and cannot control whether they reach the required number of weekly hours to be exempt from the cap. Lone parents with children under two do not qualify for free childcare and so find it very difficult, often impossible, to work the minimum 16 hours a week required to evade the cap and also find adequate, affordable childcare.
The High Court recently ruled that the revised benefit cap was unlawful, in so far as it applied to lone parents with children under the age of two. Shelter intervened in the case, presenting evidence about how families would struggle to avoid the cap by moving, and how in some areas the benefit cap means that families do not even have enough money to cover the rent of even the cheapest private rented home, let alone enough for food and essentials.
Shelter welcomed the recent ruling and continues to recommend that the Government review the benefit cap policy and exempt families that will struggle to move or find work, such as homeless families and single parents with very young children.

President's immigration speech lacks credibility
If President George W. Bush had given his May 15 speech calling for immigration reform five years earlier, we would have believed him. Now, after five years of doing nothing to protect our borders, he is not credible.
The problems he eloquently expressed didn't just emerge this year. They existed when he took office and throughout the last five years when he did nothing to correct them.
These problems include:
- The pitiful number Border Patrol agents.
- The millions of illegal immigrants smuggled into the United States across the desert or in crowded 18-wheelers.
- The dangerous policy called catch-and-release, which Bush piously labels "not acceptable."
- The employers permitted to hire illegal immigrants with forged documents.
- The unconscionable cost of illegal immigrant in schools, hospitals and social agencies borne by taxpayers.
- The crime associated with illegal immigration and an uncontrolled border.
For five years, Bush and the Republican Party establishment have treated U.S. citizens who demanded action with stony, indeed, arrogant disdain. So why should we believe the president now when he suddenly pretends to discover what we have been telling him for five years?
The president's speech repeatedly demanded a "comprehensive" immigration bill. He made clear that "comprehensive" includes legalization and the path to citizenship for the 12 million immigrants residing illegally in the United States, plus allowing employers to import an unlimited number of "willing foreign workers" whom he describes as "temporary."
The American people are smart enough to know that the former is amnesty, and the latter is a fiction. There is no such thing as "temporary" guest workers; history proves they never go home.
Bush seems to think that we will be comforted by 6,000 National Guardsmen sent to the U.S.-Mexico border for one year - not to guard the border, but merely to "assist" our Border Patrol. This has the ring of a political photo op.
We currently have 37,000 troops guarding the 151-mile border between North Korea and South Korea, but we have fewer than 12,000 agents to monitor 2,000 miles of the U.S./Mexico border.
In 1986, Congress passed comprehensive immigration reform: amnesty for 3 million, promises for border security and sanctions on employers who hired illegal immigrants. If we couldn't trust President Ronald Reagan to see that the law was faithfully executed, we surely are not going to trust Bush's promises. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
In his speech, Bush bragged, "We have apprehended and sent home about 6 million people entering America illegally." However, he didn't say how many of those 6 million were repeats. Maybe a truthful figure would be 1 million people deported six times. After all, the number of illegal immigrants in the United States increased by 5 million since Bush became president.
In November 2005, authorities accused an illegal immigrant identified as Jorge Hernandez of driving at more than 100 mph on the wrong side of Interstate 485 and causing an accident that killed University of North Carolina freshman Min Soon Chang. Hernandez had been returned to Mexico 17 times, authorities say. Did Bush count him 17 times in his 6 million figure?
Bush's choice of verbs shows that his promises of border barriers, technology and more agents are nothing but pie in the sky. All the good stuff that he proposed was prefaced by the words "we will"; he never said "we are" doing these things.
Bush said, "To secure the border effectively we must reduce the numbers of people trying to sneak across." That's impossible. The Pew Hispanic Center reports that 46 percent of the population of Mexico would like to live in the United States, and 20 percent would come illegally if they could.
Bush said, "Businesses often cannot verify the legal status of their employees." On the contrary, the technology is already in place for employers to verify the legality of Social Security numbers, but only a tiny percentage of employers voluntarily do this, and Bush didn't say anything about making this practice mandatory.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the only U.S. senator in touch with reality on this issue, says the 614-page so-called "compromise" Senate bill is "breathtakingly unsatisfactory." The new Heritage Foundation study reports that it would import 103 million legal immigrants over the next 20 years, which would be one-third of our current population.
All Senate bills would vastly increase our tax burden for entitlements. Half of all adult illegal aliens in the United States have less than a high school education, have high levels of out-of-wedlock births, and are heavy users of taxpayer-paid social benefits.
Bush wants to give U.S. jobs to foreigners so they can rise "from a life of low-paying jobs to a diploma, a career, and a home of their own." He shows no compassion for the millions of American high school dropouts who need entry-level jobs so they can start building a life.
Bush was correct when he said this is the "time of decision." Republicans who want to be elected this November should pass the Sensenbrenner House border-security-only bill without any Bush plans to import more foreigners to take jobs from Americans.

Southampton - The annual Swimsuit Show for the benefit of Time For Teens was once again held at the Southampton Publick House on Thursday, February 2, drawing a huge crowd of well wishers for the wonderful work Founder and Executive Director Loraine Gordon offers "providing a safe, healing and creative envionment for teens who have suffered the loss of a loved one."
With attractive models, swimsuits provided by Sunrise to Sunset Surf Shop, a myriad of enticing silent and raffle items, tasty treats provided by the always generous Don Sullivan and the Southampton Publick House, as well as an open bar, and live music rockin' the night by Nancy Atlas, and Dylan Jenet Collins, the fashion show was kept moving briskly by M.C. Bonnie Grice.
Collins launched the evening with covers from both Adele and Katy Perry, and make no mistake about it, this lovely and talented 14-year-old gave the pros a run for a future Grammy. Belting out "Rolling in the Deep," Collins brought her considerable skill front and center and made the song her own for this evening at least.
Atlas played a few of her own well loved tunes, as well as covers that kept the dance floor packed and everyone pumped up. Atlas knows her audience and is so talented her fan base just gets bigger and bigger. With a recent addition to her own crew (three-month-old Levon) - congrats! - this rockin' Mama is always a delight to see perform.
Grice kept the fashion show portion of the evening moving smoothly down the runway with her blend of insightful humor and refreshing candor, while more than 18 volunteeer models, including Southampton Mayor Mark Epley, and Legislator Jay Schneiderman, hit the runway in bold, fresh and vibrant colored swimsuits and attire, giving everyone a peek to what will be seen on the best dressed beaches come this summer.
Hamptons Tan had all the models looking healthy, while Kevin Maple of the Kevin Maple Salon made sure hair and make-up were runway ready, the models - young, good looking, and all smiles - worked the runway like Fashion Week to the cheers (and a few whistles) from guests.
The evening was dedicated to the memory of Thomas Manglavitt, and Gordon, who began Time For Teens in 2007, thanked the family for their generous donation, as well as all those who made the evening such a success, including sponsors Vilbrequin, Gabby's Inspiration Foundation, Sunrise to Sunset Surf Shop and Kevin Maple Salon, and quipped "I too had a spray tan and feel so healthy." Gordon also hit the dance floor and showed them how it's done!
Bidding was intense for the silent auction items, including a surfboard, wooden ship model, layette from Ralph Lauren, ties from Vineyard Vines, beach towels, jewelry, spa and salon certificates, dining and wine certificates, and so much more. The Raffle included certificates to Brewster's Seafood shop, antique teacup and saucer, and what appeared to be one of the most popular items - an astrological reading. More than 50 area businesses donated goods and services for the event.
A fun evening for a most worthy cause will keep this annual event popular among East Enders, and Gordon and Board Members, including President Thompson Holdsworth PGA, Vice President Kathie Russo, Secretary Allanah Kirk RNC, Treasurer Brian Matthews, Esq., as well as the Board of Directors, are to be commended for ensuring that a local event to raise funds for a local organization features local talent and brings out members of the community to show their support.


The USAID recently held a hackathon focused on improving food security in developing nations. Many of the projects look to have great potential. They exhibit innovative uses of open data, technology and mapping in order to provide services like crop growing advice, nutrition risk information and insights into land grabbing.
Pinapple Project and Grower's Nation are two projects worked on during the hackathon that aim to make decisions about planting crops easier. The goal of Pinapple Project, for instance, is to allow users to "find your optimal crops according [to] your location, climate and soil data." The tool isn't completely functional yet but asks for latitude, longitude, elevation, soil PH and annual rainfall in order to triangulate the optimal crops.
Another sponsor and participant, Palantir, addressed a set of similar issues by mashing together data sets supplied by Grameen. The Grameen Foundation employs farmers in rural areas to go out, with a smartphone, and collect data from other farmers (on demographics, crops, etc.). In one example, Palantir combined this data with 28,000 soil samples from Uganda to help plot the PH balance of soil and identify ideal locations for planting, say, cassava versus soy beans. In another example, Palantir used Grameen data on crop blights to generate a heat map that "Gives [you] some sense of where maggots and soy beans are colliding, and where the maggots are winning," says Ari Gesher of Palantir Labs in this video about the project.
Other projects worked on during the hackathon include Sonjara, a mobile app that helps subsistence farmers identify how much they need to produce in order to satisfy their families' nutritional needs. Another, the Geo-Wiki Project, combines Google Earth data with crowdsourced information to identify land grabs. For purposes of the hackathon, they focused on Ethiopia, which they identify as one of the top ten countries where land grabbing occurs and for which current data is hard to come by.
USAID encourages following up with any of the teams to find out more. Several of the projects will be presented at the Iowa Hunger Summit on October 16.
