Comments about Baudville Snow Globe Photo Frame - Snowflake: You're One of a Kind:
These snow globes were perfect for our Girl Scout "Snowflake Ball" dance. We were looking for a gift that would be good for ALL ages of girls attending (about 100) and these fit the bill. The saying is great for Girl Scouts and they can also be used as a photo frame for their dance picture. These snow globes are not only beautiful, but great quality at a low sale price.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was unbelievably fast, and in great condition. Worked with Lisa Guiher and she was very attentive and made sure we got what we needed when we needed it. Thank you Lisa!!

Description:The FAQ concerns those FMs that exchange data with an HMI device. The following modules are concerned:
CPU-dependent FM addressingIn the S7-300 CPUs there are two different architecture models with regard to the bus, in which the FM addressing is displayed differently to the user in each case. A difference is to be made between CPUs with and without combined MPI/DP interface.
CPUs with integrated DP interface CPU 315-2 PN/DP CPU 315F-2 PN/DP CPU 317 (all types) CPU 318 (all types) CPU 319 (all types)
HMI <-> FM connection configuration for CPUs without combined MPI/DP interface:(address data of the following examples (screenshots): CPU: MPI=2, Slot=2; FM: MPI=3, Slot=4;)
Connection configuration with ProTool or WinCC flexible permits two access paths to the FM:
HMI <-> FM connection configuration for CPUs with combined MPI/DP interface:(address data of the following examples (screenshots): CPU: MPI=2, Slot=2; FM: Slot=4;)
Note: For the examples in the masks above the configuration tool concerned was integrated in each case in STEP 7. In these cases entry of the FM address (MPI, slot and BGT numbers) is automatic and cannot be changed by the user as long as you click to select the FM or access point via which the FM is to be reached. Manual input of the FM address data is possible by clicking "Define the parameters yourself" (ProTool) or "No station" for station selection (WinCC flexible). In the case of a nonintegrated configuration tool you must always specify the FM address data manually.

This shift has been the study of much of Sarai research in the past few years. Our research has sought to examine issues of circulation, conflict over property forms and non-legal reproduction, in short, the diversity and complexity of what has been referred to as the "continent of piracy".

Platform-as-a-service -- application development platforms running in clouds -- are entering a new phase of evolution, and not a moment too soon. I've become interested in a new set of products I'm calling "adaptive PaaS" (for lack of a better term) that I think will make the benefits of cloud computing available to a lot more development shops. I'm doing a webinar on this topic May 20th with Appistry's Sam Charrington. I hope you can join the discussion.
As I described in my early reports on PaaS, these products include full development tooling, runtime services, and administration and management tools. While complete, most of these "full PaaS" products are best for new applications, and they incorporate much proprietary technology. Consequence: Many if not most clients are still saying "no" to PaaS for two reasons.
These limitations often prompt developers who want the flexibility of cloud computing to use IaaS platforms like Amazon EC2 instead of PaaS. With IaaS, developers can code in the language and frameworks they choose, reducing lock-in and ensuring a good platform-application fit. As a result, while we see both interest and adoption of software-as-a-service (full applications) and infrastructure-as-a-service (virtual servers, storage, and networks), PaaS is lagging in adoption.
Adaptive PaaS employs a different approach than full PaaS, seeking to adapt applications built in Java, .NET, and other languages to cloud infrastructure, and then manage those applications through change cycles. Adaptive PaaS removes development tools and frameworks from the PaaS stack, and provides only packaging, deployment, distribution management, workload management, and resource virtualization services. Developers use the tools and frameworks supported by the adaptive PaaS platform. Some of the products also provide billing and other application services that developers can call from within their applications.
I call this category "adaptive PaaS" to describe its primary function (adaptation).
The vendors that I've talked with providing adaptive PaaS are:
My introductory conversations with Appistry and Apprenda first started me thinking about "PaaS, Chapter 2." I had to account for the value these vendors provide to both internal development shops and ISVs.
Please join us on May 20th for the PaaS, Chapter 2 webinar.
Most PaaS in their enthusiasm to be scalable dont provide ACID( Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) persistence. This makes building serious biz applications on PaaS a huge challenge. Biz apps are so used to the ACID persistence of the RDBMS that the expect it in the cloud too.
Social apps either skip the ACID requirement or handle it in their custom code. Biz Apps cannot afford non-ACID persistence or afford the custom coding/plumbing.
What are the platforms that provide Biz Apps ready persistence? Are they lock-in free?
If there is clarity on these, the PaaS adoption will see exponential growth. Otherwise, as you have pointed, IaaS plus custom coding is the way to go!
-Balaji S.
Hi; thank you for your comment about ACID and PaaS. I think support for traditional transactions may indeed be a good "acid test" for PaaS. I've been looking for SQL support as well. How important to you believe support for XA (distributed transactions is to the future of PaaS?
John, at SensorLogic, we've come to the same conclusion, and have built an adaptive PaaS, Cirrus, for asset tracking applications that can be further leveraged for integrating with enterprise apps, e.g. ERP, Supply Management, CRM etc...Asset tracking apps have wide range of use - a simple example is to track pallets of goods from a warehouse to a store shelf. In some cases, shrinkage or missed deliveries cause CPG companies millions of dollars in losses a month. The business case of reducing loss in this instance maps directly to your points about an Adaptive PaaS - developers want to exercise control over the development of an application, and its integration, while being insulated from the complexity of the NxNxN problem associated with devices, network connectivity and hardware. Adaptive PaaS provides flexibility and extensibility throughout the PaaS stack and does provide the option of a private cloud.

Hi Joe! Long time, no talk. Thanks for responding to my blog post. I'd like to learn more about SensorLogic. Would you be willing to arrange a briefing with me through www.forrester.com? I look forward to it.

And that's not all. He even agreed to take a call with doctors in Bangladesh at a specific time, dictated by them.
Nine o'clock in the evening, on a Friday, while Dr. Gearhart was on vacation in Jamaica.
The call was very important. The boy needed support from the doctors in Bangladesh in order to get court approval to travel to the U.S. for surgery.
I will never forget making that call. On my Blackberry, I dialed Dr. Gearhart in Jamaica and conferenced in the doctors in Bangladesh. Then I muted my phone and listened, with tears in my eyes, as Dr. Gearhart spoke to seven doctors, one at a time, repeating over and over, "Yes, we can help this boy. This is an operation we do all the time. We will improve his quality of life."
That call was on February 17, 2012 and things moved quickly after that.
The surgery was scheduled for August 16 and Dr. Gearhart drafted two more specialists who also agreed to operate for free: plastic surgeon, Dr. Rick Redett and general surgeon, Dr. Dylan Stewart.
I traveled to Columbus, Ohio to meet with Kovach and his wife, Branka.
I also traveled to Baltimore to meet with the public relations officials at Johns Hopkins and to find a home near the hospital where the boy and his family could stay.
I then went to Washington to meet with officials from the International Organization for Migration, who agreed to help the boy prepare for the journey.
But nothing could prepare me for what it would be like to meet the little boy in person, what it would be like to get to know him.

Hey Mel,
First of all, its good that you have figured a way to block torrents using iptables. I am new to networking and would like to do couple of things.
1) Monitor the network activity in the home network
2) Block all the torrents from downloading.
Is there a tool or a way in linux which could give me some solutions to meet the above mentioned cases. I dont want to use any commercial programs as I am more towards OpenSource. It would be greatful if you could offer me some help.

Tis the last roses of summer. The iris, magnolias, peonies, daffodils, and tulips are all long gone, but the roses are blooming with color in our yard.
"Do not watch the petals fall from the rose with sadness, know that, like life, things sometimes must fade, before they can bloom again."
Makes 1 quart. This tea has more character than most herb teas, with the flavor of roses with hints of nutmeg and orange. Brew fragrant, deep pink petals for a fine flavor and a lovely dark pink color.
1/2 cup tightly packed rose petals
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 orange, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 quart water
hot or cold.
Place rose petals, nutmeg, sugar, and chopped orange into a pitcher. Pour boiling water over petals and steep for 5 minutes. Strain and Serve.
The flavor of roses is pronounced yet delicate in this wonderful jelly. Use dark red petals for a clear, bright red color.
4 qts rose petals (16 cups)
2 qts water (8 cups)
7 cups sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 ounces liquid pectin
food coloring (optional)
Boil rose petals and water together for 10 to 20 minutes, or until about half the liquid has boiled off. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on the rose petals to extract as much liquid as possible. Measure 3 cups of liquid, add sugar, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. (You may discard the remaining liquid.) Add lemon juice and pectin, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add food coloring, if desired, and pout into sterilized jars, filling to 1/8 inch of the top. Seal with paraffin, or use vacuum lids. If using vacuum lids, cover immediately with flat lids, and screw tips on tightly. Turn upside down for 5 minutes, then turn right side up. After 1 hour, check that seals appear intact.

Hunting the Paranormal in AnchorageG.H.O.S.T. Research investigates hotel hauntingANCHORAGE - Our obsession with the supernatural and paranormal has spawned shows like "Supernatural," "Paranormal Activity," "Paranormal Witness," "Ghost Hunters" and the like. Right here in Anchorage, we've got our very own paranormal investigators. CBS 11 Photojournalist John Thain tagged along as they checked out a local hotel room that's rumored to be haunted. The walls of the Anchorage Hotel have seen a lot since they were first built in 1916. During all those years, guests here have sometimes left with stories of things unexplainable. The hotel keeps a log of anything abnormal. But the most unexplainable stories of them all come from Room 215. 215 is known to be the one of the most haunted hotel rooms in the Anchorage Hotel. Sasha Haydon is the founder of G.H.O.S.T. Research, a team of paranormal investigators in Anchorage. For her, Room 215 on Halloween night is the place to be. "The first thing we do is turn on the digital recorders, tag 'em etcetera. Then we set up cameras – we have closed circuit TV," Haydon said. Helping with the setup were cryptozoologist Dan Williams and investigator Olivia Menezes. Haydon said her goal is to help people who might be dealing with ghosts. But contacting them isn't always an easy matter. Four motion sensors, eight cameras, several microphones and two electromagnetic sensors recorded their conversation. The session lasted about an hour, and the paranormal activity was debatable... But to be positive, they'll have to review the recordings. Unfortunately, if anything was captured on camera, they were unable to see it. Most of their video seemed to have vanished. Williams said setbacks like these are all too common in the world of the paranormal. "In the first place, it's difficult to catch any proof of anything. You hear a million stories and you are lucky to get one shot of anything. Then when you're messing with electronics and they don't work for you, it makes it doubly difficult." Whether the technical difficulties resulted from ghosts or coincidence might never be known. The only thing we may know for certain is that the mystery surrounding this room in the Anchorage Hotel will continue.

$content_width and RWD
I'm designing a responsive theme for WordPress and I don't know what to do about the $content_width variable. as the width would depend on the viewport. Does anybody know what I should do?
I believe, and I may be wrong, $content_width in Wordpress is a way to set the max width of images.
If you're using responsive design techniques, what you could do is simply override the standard image width/height markup using CSS.
For example, setting a max-width of a particular amount, or indeed 100% - with height set to auto, that way you know that the images will never expand beyond their container, so when downsizing they will adjust to fit automagically.
Yes Andy, that's exactly what I do with images. I too have read "rumours" of it being used to stop images overflowing, but it is so poorly documented. I thought I could just leave it out so I ran the theme-tester plugin after removing the:
if ( !isset( $content_width ) ) $content_width = 610;
and it threw up an error stating that the line was required so I don't know what to do now.
@lenzjo, I may be misunderstanding what you're asking, but if you want to remove the width and height attributes from images on wordpress, this snippet might help
Thx ChrisP, but I'm already doing that. It's the $content_width variable and setting (or not) it's value.

South Miamis mayor is accusing the police chief of using money meant for crime-prevention to pay for an awards dinner. But the chief says he followed the law just as he has been doing during his long career in law enforcement.
Every month, around 100 guests, sometimes more mostly police brass from different departments in Miami-Dade County meet to recognize an officer of the month. The departments take turns covering the costs. Some dinners have been known to cost about $4,000, and some have been held at places like the Rusty Pelican in Virginia Key.
Mayor Philip Stoddard said that he had no issue with the dinner itself or the $1,587 cost. What bothered him was the chiefs use of the state forfeiture fund money collected from the seizure of property linked to illegal activity.
But Police Chief Orlando Martinez de Castro said he did everything by the book.
Page 21 of the federal forfeiture Guide to Equitable Sharing for State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies states that shared funds may be used under the conference package policy, the chief said. The rule applies to food or beverage served at a banquet or dinner to recognize law enforcement achievements.
But Stoddard said federal and state forfeiture funds have different guidelines and safeguards. For example, police can use federal forfeiture money but not state forfeiture money to buy equipment. Also, the state money cant be used for routine expenses.
The chief is using the federal forfeiture guidelines for the state forfeiture fund, Stoddard said. The state rules are a lot stricter.
Stoddard considers the dinner a normal operating expense. The mayor also reiterated past complaints about the chiefs handling of forfeiture money, saying for example that the chief failed to submit some of the expenditures to the City Commission for approval.
Martinez de Castro said Stoddard doesnt understand the procedure. Records show police used $1,587 to help the Village of Pinecrest cover the cost of hosting the monthly Miami-Dade County Association of Police Chiefs dinner on Sept. 16, 2011. Stoddard wants the State Attorneys Office to investigate the chief for authorizing the expense and for similar alleged violations.
Martinez de Castro said he used the forfeiture money in 2011 because his predecessor prepared the police departments budgets for that year, and no general revenue was set aside for the dinner.
The money for the dinner wasnt allocated, so that is why we used state forfeiture funds, he said.
Other expenses Stoddard is questioning include about $70 in dog food and vitamins for a police dog, about $940 in office supplies and furniture, and about $480 in GPS maintenance.
The Americans for Forfeiture Reforms Florida spokesman Brad R. Schlesinger said the organization, which advocates forfeiture law reform, believes that if authorities find Stoddards allegations to be true, they represent serious abuses.
If allowed to use forfeiture funds without any restrictions, law enforcement officials will be more prone to violate individual Constitutional rights by stopping, searching, and seizing more property than they normally would, just to fill departmental coffers, Schlesinger said. By restricting the use of forfeiture funds, the Florida Legislature is trying to limit the profit motive behind the use of asset forfeiture laws in general.

text: Strawberry rhubarb happens to by my favorite kind of pie, and I always add some ginger to the flavor profile when I'm baking. In this deliciously sweet cocktail, I've played on that same combination. I used fresh strawberry-apple juice from Red Jacket Orchards for my drink, which is available at Greenmarkets, and many stores (Wholefoods, Garden of Eden just to name a few) around NYC. I'm sure it would also be delicious with homemade (or any good quality) pink lemonade. If you don't have time to bake up a pie over the long weekend, try serving up this tasty drink which also features Rhuby, a fun new liqueur from Art in the Age.

Thanks Springers for this new platform, but wasn't it announced too early if you are not ready ?
Few days ago VMware unveiled the company's Cloud Foundry open source platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. This release allows developers to deploy Java/Spring, RubyOnRails and Node.js web application to a VMware-hosted cloud.
Cloud Foundry also offers some data services out of the box, namely MySql, MongoDb and Redis. No installation required, they just work.
The system is indeed very interesting but clearly it has huge room for improvement. The SpringSource folks are behind it so quality and stability – already impressively high – have to be expected in the future iterations of the platform.

If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

A model shows off a red-carpet-worthy Elie Saab gown during the Paris haute couture shows. (Kristy Sparow / Getty Images / January 23, 2013) |
Tallulah Harlech, Dita Von Teese, Harry Brant and Peter Brant Jr. joined the crowd at the Elie Saab show Wednesday.
The Brant brothers are the sons of art collector Peter Brant and model Stephanie Seymour. A model and actress, Harlech is the daughter of Lady Amanda Harlech, a model and longtime Chanel muse.
Tallulah Harlech made the rounds of the Paris couture shows this week. She previously patronized Elie Saab, saying she thought of Saab for special occasion dressing, good for red carpets, which she hasn't needed -- at least not yet.
"Watch that space," Harlech added, implying that things could change, since she has two movies in the works: "Spite and Malice" and "The Invisible Woman."
Known for his red carpet dresses, Saab first burst into international awareness in 2002, when he designed the dress Halle Berry wore as she nabbed a lead actress Oscar. He remains in demand during awards season, as evidenced by the bejeweled halter-neck, slit-thigh-high sparkler Lea Michele wore to the Golden Globes.
For the show, models glided through the Pavillon Cambon Capucines in gowns that shimmered, bared and showed off the figure, an ideal combination with awards season coming.

If we as members have no higher ideals thar these, or if we are not broad enough to look beneath these Trivial Things, we had better not have a club. But the Kismet Ideals are far above these smallnesses. We strive above all things to avoid Narrowness and in judging a girl we look beneath the outside and find her true self.

Are we so narrow as to forget our home duties In pursuit of our own selfish pleasures ? Our work and duties at home must always come first, but this, like the others is a personal matter and depends largely, if not entirely, upon the individual.

Good Choice
Hmmm, people who claim to hear voices are considered delusional by most people. Unless of course you were a nomadic tribe living a few thousand years ago. Then it is considered divine revelation. What's up with that?
The ROE Boat
Andrew, whew, glad I don't subscribe to your vengeful deity. Sorry but I refuse to live my life in fear, servitude, and submission to a man made god. While you piously berate a woman's right to choose as murder based on your concept of a "loving God", perhaps you could explain your God's instructions regarding rape, murder, and slavery in the Old Testament. These were the things that he "favors", right?
Gary Johnson for president
jadedfate-Perhaps you should go back and read my post at 1:13 p.m. And while you are at it, reread my post that you blasted. My reference to the Constitution party was in response to curtis07 at 12:41 p.m. Follow the thread and you would have saved yourself a lot of typing. Here let me make it easy for you since you appear to be too lazy to follow the entire thread.
In response to my listing that Libertarians supported "the legalization of cannabis, separation of church and state, same-sex marriage, the legalization of prostitution, pornography, etc." I stated at 1:13 p.m "You will get no argument from me on the issues I listed. It is the part of the Libertarian's agenda I support. I have huge problems with other parts of their platform."
Get it?? I support those issues. Follow the thread instead of making baseless accusations. Oh, and by the way, save your breath about religion, I'm an atheist.
Gary Johnson for president
"@hotdiggity: I suppose it depends on your idea of what the word "conservative" refers to. In my opinion, it refers to a conservative interpretation of the Constitution."
All due respect but that sounds like the Constitution Party platform. Also, unless I have been asleep the last few decades I have never seen the term "conservative" or "conservative principles" linked to supporting the legalization of cannabis, separation of church and state, same-sex marriage, the legalization of prostitution, pornography, etc. Just saying.
It seems disingenuous of the Free Press not to mention these issues of the Libertarian Party while claiming support based on "conservative principles". The core platform of the party is based on individual chose, personal freedom, and responsibility. Sad that the FP decided to ignore the social issues supported by the Libertarian Party.
Perhaps they ignored those issues because they are well aware that those issues do not fit the traditional interpretation of "conservative principles"?
Gary Johnson for president
daytonsdarwin and LibertyBelle...You will get no argument from me on the issues I listed. It is the part of the Libertarian's agenda I support. I have huge problems with other parts of their platform.
Gary Johnson for president
So the FP supports Mr. Johnson because "This election, however, the Republican Party nominee has failed to demonstrate a consistent commitment to conservative principles."
I assume the FP realizes that the Libertarian Party (LP) supports the legalization of cannabis, separation of church and state, same-sex marriage, the legalization of prostitution, pornography, etc.
Is this the new "conservative principles"?
Kinda strange the Free Press neglected to include this part of the LP platform. It seems a disservice to the readers to neglect to note that one of the highlights of the party is personal choice without government interference. The issues listed above reflect that philosophy. The Free Press should be honest enough to address the full party platform if they choose to endorse a particular party, especially if they hint that their endorsement is based on "conservative principles".
I have no problem with the above issues. I assume the FPand the posters here that support Mr. Johnson have no problem with the platform either. Right?
The Trick or Treater
Rather nice to see Mitt almost completely endorse the presidents foreign policy. Romney looked like a school boy being instructed by a professor whose only response is "yes sir".
The Poll
So, Mitts foreign policy seems to consist of doing everything that Obama has been doing? Nice way to differentiate yourself there Mittens. Jeez, I thought Mitt was going to suggest that him and Obama break out in singing Kum Ba Ya.
The Binder
Harp, as you know the subject of abortion is a very contentious issue in the district. Family and Christian values as well as the perceived character of a candidate also rank high when deciding on a representative in the area.
Mr. DesJarlais's egregious breach of his stated core principles should be at the forefront of any discussion regarding his representing the district.
The voters should be constantly reminded of the record of someone they may choose to represent their interests especially on an issue as divisive as adultery, abortion, and character.
Be Warned
Another fine right wing conservative hypocrite exposed. Defender of family and christian values no less. The president of an evangelical college no less. You wingers are so entertaining.

We live in a diverse and complex world. College is a crucial time to investigate our similarities and differences, learning about ourselves and improving our learning environment in the process.
Multiculturalism is inseparable from the part of the Saint Michael's College mission that addresses the promotion of human dignity and respect, the value of each person, and the uniqueness of each person's gifts.
At Saint Michael's, multiculturalism is an important platform for broad conversations about who we are as individuals and as a community. It invites each of us to look inside, to investigate our own and others' perspectives, and helps us discover what we bring to these conversations.
Multiculturalism is also about what unites us as human beings. It is a human trait to rejoice with new birth and grieve with loss; we all feel pride at the accomplishments of our young; all humans hurt with physical and emotional pain; and we all want to be loved, valued and respected. These human realities unite us, as friendship unites us.
Our college's multicultural identity, then, is about understanding and respecting our similarities and differences, and uniting them through our ideal of "bettering the human condition in the light of the Catholic faith."
Saint Michael's real story of multiculturalism is more in what we are striving to be, not what we might be on any given day. We are enriched by diverse viewpoints, ideas, and ways of seeing and knowing. Intellectual diversity is enhanced by racial and ethnic diversity. We must all learn how to lead, follow, live with and be enriched by people different from ourselves in today's global world.

| What if I really can't get inspired by any idea?
Hi all! Steve says that if you say you dont know what business you want to start, then its just a lame excuse. But what if I really dont have any ideas that would inspire me? I used to think: ok, if the lack of ideas is just an excuse, I have to stop giving excuses and just start my own business. Last year I launched my website and put Google AdSense on it. The main ideas of my work seemed rather interesting, but not that much. As I couldnt make up anything else, I just kept working on my website and promoting it. I had about 40-60 visitors a month and after a year I earned 69 cent))) At last all the work became really boring to me and I shut down the site. Then I launched a blog, but after a couple of months, I realized I wasnt interested in working in that direction as well. Then another website and again, after some time, I realized it was a dead end for me. Then, some days ago I stumbled upon one business idea making multimedia photo albums. It had never occurred to me before (though I think its an old idea). I immediately started planning, then launched one of my multimedia albums I had done before on YouTube and registered as a freelancer on 3 websites. So, I really got inspired and Im sure itll work and I like this kind of work. The only minus is that Im a freelancer, but Id like to be a website owner. So, my question is the following: is that a lack of ideas really just an excuse?! I started everything immediately with multimedia albums, but Im stuck with ideas about a website. Could it be that I really just cant get inspired by any idea for a website? Website owners, where did you get your ideas for your websites? Thanks. |

The thing about online marketing is that it, itself, is not a business. It is only a method of communication. It also happens to be the fastest, cheapest, and often the most effective way of reaching people. It also has the lowest start up cost of any business model. (Take $100 and the right knowledge, and you can literally create a business online that starts making money immediately) In the old days, if you wanted to make money, be a good salesman, or advance higher in a company, people would always say work on your communication skills. Well today, in the age of the internet, you must work on your online communication skills, which could also be called internet marketing. Learning to create an effective web presence is like learning a new language. You can't talk someone into buying your product unless you can actually speak in a way they understand. Obviously, you can't sell things online unless you understand the how-to's. Sure, you can always by-pass the internet and try to make it in the "real world", but good luck trying to be self-employed in it. Most "real" businesses cost 10,000's to 1,000,000's of dollars to start up. Steve's website, as he has said many times, cost him less than $10 to start up.

Before you focus too much on the medium, perhaps you should work a little more on your message. It's good to have knowledge of online marketing techniques, but what exactly is it you want to market? What kind of message do you want to spread to other people? How do you want to impact the world you live in, and the lives of others? Where do you want to go with your life? What is it that you would do if you knew without a shadow of a doubt that you could not fail? Your motivation does not lie in your medium, it lies in your message, your goals, your raison d'etre. Without a message, a medium has no purpose. You can have the fastest, most tricked-out automobile in the world, but if you don't know where you want to go with it, all you'll be doing is going nowhere, really fast. And who knows, once you have your message and your goals clearly defined, you may find that a donkey is sufficient for your purposes. |

I want to create a website as I want a passive inocme and owning a website seems the most attractive form of it for me. Generally speaking, Steve is an example to me in this field (though I don't strive for such a large activity and influence so far). Davidchung, I think you're right. However, pondering on my message, I'm coming to the only conclsion: I want Nothing for other people. Perhaps, I have to change my mind))) Or just define my message that has nothing to do with other people... |

He's motivated by his message and therefore authentically creates value, he also had multiple years of experience with selling over the net before he started his blog. Most people who succeeded online want more than just making passive income. Eban Pagan (Get Altitude, Wake Up Productive etc) said that those people who go online with the intent of making passive income mostly never do as the kind of person who succeeds through their own motivation usually isn't interested in the dream of passivity. That said maybe SBI is the right thing for you. It helps you with clarifying a topic and also gives you a step by step process. | |

Julia It sounds like I have a similar mindset to you, but I might be a few steps in front of you, so might be able to give you some advice that is helpful. I'm web designer, I too have created a couple of sites that I thought could work well with my skills and earn me a passive income. Although, I too got bored and sick of them... I no longer see them as a failure, infact what doesn't work for me, gets me closer to what I really want. It helps me sift through what I want and what I don't want. I have learnt so much from these sites I created. So what value info did I come away from these sites? Well doing these sites, brought me closer to my real passion. I can put up a site together the way I want, because of my drive a determination. I cannot work on sites that I am not passionate about. I've learnt a lot about social networking and internet marketing. Google ranking and SEO. Don't start something up in an over-saturated market. Doing these sites, made me realise what I am passionate about (or at least closer to what I think my passion is). I now know I need to work on something that involves: design a community that helps each-other grow a fun creative friendly environment something where I can help other people to grow and other people want to contribute to help people grow creative activities are done on the site for fun something that looks aesthetically pleasing I want a business where there is no real authority, the people I work with all want to create something great and love to work on it and help it grow. My work colleagues will have fun and be goofy like me I can't just sell a product, it has to go deeper than that. I can't do affiliate marketing as it doesn't align with who I am and is far less people orientated. I would be just creating a product and then just getting money...that doesn't interest me. I can't do something cheesy. So if I was you I would look at what you don't like about these sites, I would assume it because you couldn't imagine yourself spending 24/7 on the content or product. The trick is to find out what you could work on 24/7. So now you obviously know a few things you already don't like working on, so break that down and say to yourself, why is that? Julia start looking at what other entrepreneurs are doing and get inspired. Look at Mixergy – Online Business Tips from Successful Entrepreneurs and Internet Business Blog - Entrepreneurs-Journey.com by Yaro Starak Start looking at what worked for entrepreneurs and what didn't.

Hi Julia... I believe it's all about passion -- because that is what motivates you to work on your website hour after hour until it's the success you always dreamed it would be. I used SBI to create my first website and that was the single best advantage I ever gave myself in online business. It gave me direction all the way, but most of all, it helped me choose my website niche and actually think hard about it before I put in all that effort to making it a success. First I chose lucid dreaming because its an amazing skill and I'm lucky enough to have nailed it myself over the years. I also knew it had huge appeal for other people. As an introvert I feel very passionate about my "inner worlds" and the topic of lucid dreaming just did it for me. Then I chose natural vision improvement because, again, this is a relatively unknown area and after having success with it myself I felt compelled to spread the word. I know how frustrated people get by having to wear glasses and the fact that I had found a realistic solution gave me so much motivation. Thirdly - just last week, in fact - I decided to make a website on Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties) as I have two myself and they bring me so much happiness I can't even convey. After researching this niche with SBI I found it had suitably high demand and so began the website building process again. I love every minute because I am passionate about my topics and with the expertise of SBI behind me I know I cannot fail. If I were to sum it up - choose a topic that you always end up talking to people about. Something you love to chat about, something that really gets you excited. Then go do the keyword research and that will ensure you're onto a profitable subject. Unless you live under a rock there is absolutely nothing stopping you from finding the perfect niche! Just spend a few days mulling it over, sleep on it, and your next winning idea will soon pop into your head. |

Thanks for the comments again. Vartann, interesting method, perhaps, I should try it. Rebecca, I liked this practical solution - to choose a topic I always end up talking to people about. I've realized I've been talking about movies much recently, and all the other topics are always trivial. No wonder I don't have any ideas for a business... |

Julia- There is a popular SBI website on classic horror movies, The BEST Horror Movies, For the Discerning Horror Freak... - which shows the concept works. How about something like that? One caveat - it can't be simply movie reviews as you'd be competing with Rotten Tomatoes, Empire, IMBD... Instead it would be your own "take" on your chosen genre - so you'd have to get creative. See how this horror site has listed top villains, monsters, and heroes? It feels like we're entering their own little world, and they're actually adding something to the horror movie experience. Interesting idea - and if you are truly passionate about movies then it will be a lot of fun to create. Quote:

Rebecca, funny enough, but movie reviews bore me to death and I dont know why Im talking mostly about movies and would hate to devote a website to all this. Probably, its the range of the stories that fascinates me or maybe thats the emotions that movies give to me thats why I keep talking about various movies. I think I need to extract that one thing that gets me interested in movies. Anyway, Ill definitely use your advice about listening to what Im talking about most of the time as a guideline to my calling. I suppose I should get myself interested in something so much that Ill start to talk about it often

You're obviously curious about creating and owning websites and trying to make them profitable, so go interview some successful website owners and ask them how they did it. Just email or call them and ask for an interview, you can offer them a link back to their website. Put up mp3s of interviews and charge for transcripts, or ask people to sign up for your list to gain access to your interviews, then when you get more people visiting your website ask them what they most want to know about creating profitable websites, take the top 5-10 questions/areas of concern and create an information product, probably through a combination of more in-depth interviews and research. Presto, you've got a website that draws visitors in (with your free interviews) and an information product that solves their greatest concerns to sell to them.

Anyway, movies aside. Take a look at niches in psychology, as these can be very popular and fascinating to write about (if you're anything like me that is!) Do you know anything about: body language / reading people, how to improve your memory, human instinct, unexplained mysteries, hypnosis / guided meditation... These were on my original list before I chose lucid dreaming. Just throwing some more ideas out there. | |

Julia.Ru... perhaps these questions help: - What would you do for free? - What makes you excited? - What makes you lose track of time? - What would you do if you couldn't fail? - If money didn't exist and you could only pick one thing to do for the rest of your life, what would you do?

Thank you, guys, for your thoughtful replies, for really trying to help me. Rebecca, it's strange, but though I like movies, I'm not interested in dedicatin a website to them at all... I'm also addicted to psychology, I read books on it and even had an idea of making a website where people could resolve their iterpersonal conflicts online using the principles of Eric Burne's transactional analysis, but again all this didn't inspire me enough and I already know that I won't go too far with persistence alone, but without any interest. As for psychology itself, I like it, but I wouldn't like to devote too miuch time to it as very often it looks like drowning in one own's thoughts. (By the way, I've noticed one more thing I like talking about - I'm into horoscopes, but only those written by Linda Goodman.) Thanks, Davidchung, for your idea. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem attractive to me, but that's just me... So far, I think I'll use your idea, Vartann. Now I'm searching for the most popular and interesting websites and I'll try to make my own, but better. Maybe, it'll have to do with cheering up people, as I like to do it and I often try to cheer up myself as well , because I'm very pessimistic inside. I also think having an upbeat mood is one of the most important things in life and 99% of people are unhappy. All in all, I'd like my business to be meaningful enough for my whole life, so I don't know yet how cheering up people will fit in and in what form in will be, but I think I'll work in this direction. So, thank you guys - at least I don't feel stuck now and your replies have made me think.)) |

i agree with Henri,, u need to find your purpose and passion first and then do something you absolutely love and the money will follow the path you have taken, but you have to be prepared for a waiting period, to pay your dues.

Thaks for the links, Henry J. I've already read Steve's article you mentioned and as for Erin's (I've never read her articles before), I really liked the part about contribution (what makes you feel like you've contributed). As for your questions, I think I'd answer them this way: - What would you do for free? Can't say for sure. Probably, any work (only not too harmful for my health) if it lasts not longer than 4 hours a day )) - What makes you excited? That's the problem. I seemed to have many interests when at school and at the university, but nothing excites me these days. If anything excited me, I would make plans immediately and started working on them. But now I seem to have only away-from motivation (I hate working for someone all day long) for starting my own business. - What makes you lose track of time? I can't recall any cases when some activity made me lose track of time. Maybe, I don't remember something, but now I can't say I've ever experienced it yet. - What would you do if you couldn't fail? I think I could do practically anything as I have strong faith in myself, because I remember many cases when I had zero experience and knowledge in something and had to do it, somehow, someway, trying to do my best to excel. - If money didn't exist and you could only pick one thing to do for the rest of your life, what would you do? In general, money never interested me much, I just want to have enough for a living. If I had more interest in money, at least I'd have some motivation to work, and now I don't need all the money I earn (I started giving parts of my salary to my parents), so I have no sense at all why I work)) But coming back to the question)), I wouldn't like to pick just one thing to do for the rest of my life, because isn't it too limiting? The same goes for finding one's life purpose: isn't it too limiting as well? For example, if my life's purpose is to cheer up people? Even if someone's life purpose is to grow and help others grow, is that all? I'm not speaking about the variety of mediums, but right about the variety of purposes or probably the category of purpose/mission/message itself: isn't it just too small for one's life? However, philosophizing apart, I think finding at least one purpose would be a nice)) thing to me as I seem to have been depressed since 18 (especially at 20-23). I always knew what I wanted in life until I was 20, but approximately since that time I've withdrawn from almost everything and everybody and have lost my ideal plans. One of my life purposes seems to be about cheering up people, but I have to figure it out… I think you're right, 3afash and PerDev, finding my purpose should come first. But though I haven't found it yet, recently some more concrete ideas have occurred to me. I've searched for the most popular websites and found one called Peegly. It's in Russian, but I suppose the idea may have come from abroad. On this site people can share their joy or sorrow or confess in something or to someone. This idea resonates with me and I want to do the same, but better)), following Vartann's advice. First of all, I don't this site to be a place mainly to whine on and I would also like to be it for a large auditorium (due to the topics or organization of this site, its visitors are girls of 18-35 with higher education)) (it stated on the site itself). So, at least now I have something to start from again, and probably during working on this idea, my purpose (or purposes) will become clearer)). Last edited by Julia.Ru; 12-12-2009 at 11:24 AM. |

Julia, Try keeping it simpler. On these forums the concept of a life purpose is commonplace. Granted some people appear to have one but out you may find that searching for perfect answers holds you back. My advice would simply be to keep doing things that are a slow and steady improvement. In other words it doesn't have to be a life changing, earth shattering moment, just keep moving forward doing things that are a small improvement on your current situation. I'm probably in a minority here for thinking a life purpose doesn't exist and that passions change over time- sometimes rapidly. |

It's funny I just clicked to what my life passion was a few months ago and it was always there...I just ignored it...or because it never worked in my favour I gave-up on the idea. It's now so obvious but at the time, i was sure there was no life passion for me. My passion is being an entrepreneur and coming up with innovative ideas online. The problem was my ideas never seemed to come into fruition and so I just gave up on my entrepreneurial endeavours...thinking it's obviously not right for me. But the challenge of entrepreneur is not to give-up and keep ploughing ahead. Now that I realised this insight I am absolutely loving learning about business and entrepnurial endeavours. It gets me really excited. But everyones right you have to find your passion..I am entrepunerial but I have learnt from that I still have to build business related to other passions of mine. Otherwise I wont motivated to stick to the idea. So my area of interest are design, homewares, interior design, furniture etc Affiliate marketing for example will never suit me, because you usually sell products that you're not really passionate about, affiliate marketing is ugly (visually) and seems over saturated. These things don't align with my design background and how I like things aesthetically pleasing and unique. But escapeplan has a point...we are always changing and so too are our passions.

Ellie, I have to disagree with you cannot sell products through affiliate marketing that you're passionate about. I am doing exactly this. In fact, I use the products myself and my whole family does. It all comes down to finding something you're passionate about and finding a company that has an affiliate program. As to finding your passion. It is usually hiding in plain sight and once you find it, you go "but I knew that already". At least that was the case for me |

But if you think of it as collaborative story telling you'll get a better sense of what we do around here. I always recommend new people take a moment to check out the guide here, it fills you in on how things are done around these parts. If you have any questions there is a thread here specifically for them, also feel free to PM me if you require any assistance with anything. Happy RPing!
