Starting A Business Abroad: What Role Does Passion Play In Your Project?
Posted on 11. Dec, 2009 by Emmanuelle Archer in Blog, Expat Entrepreneurs, Expat Life
2 comments
You've heard it countless times from well-meaning friends and experts: Don't make your passion your job. Passion alone will get you nowhere. Passion won't pay the bills.
In his Free Pursuits blog, Corbett Barr offers a good overview of both sides of the passion-in-business debate. In my opinion, passion is hugely important for a small business.
Why passion is so crucial
Passion is what will see you through the emotional ups-and-downs and the minor crises that come with having your own business. When things get tough, you'll need to remind yourself why you are doing this – and it's much easier to keep going if you're working for something you truly believe in and are passionate about.
Passion will help you work the extra hour, make the difficult phone call, or do the additional research that will make the difference. Passion ensures that you speak the same language as your clients, find yourself in the same places they do, and are able to relate to them easily.
Got passion? Turn it into a livelihood!
Turning your passion into a business is entirely doable. My most successful self-employed clients are also the most passionate about their work, and their business ideas all share a common formula:
What you're passionate about (your field) + what you're good at (your work) = viable business concept.
Let's say you love exploring your host country, and are also good at writing. Instead of turning your fun weekend jaunts into a commercial venture (at the risk of burning out trying to make it as a tour operator or travel writer), why not specialise in writing press releases and ad copy for the tourism industry?
The trick is to make your passion your field 'Äì that is to say, your specialty, or the type of clients you work with – as opposed to making it your work properly speaking.
For instance, my work is advising, consulting and coaching. These are all things I'm really good at and love doing, but they are not my passion. What gets me out of bed in the morning, and motivates me to work late at night, is building bridges between cultures, teaching expats how to feel at home anywhere in the world, and generally helping people make the most out of their life abroad.
Don't listen to the naysayers…
Those who tell you not to turn your passion into a job aren't really talking about passion. They're talking about hobbies. What they're really saying is, "Don't become a ski instructor if you truly love skiing", or "Just because you enjoy sewing up felt platypuses doesn't mean you should quit your job to set up an Etsy shop" – although I would definitely be into cute felt platypuses myself, but then again, I have strange tastes.
These people are absolutely right. Hobbies don't scale up very well into a business. There is something about having to hand make, package and deliver 250 platypuses by yourself before the end of the week that really takes the fun out of felting.
Passion is a different beast, though. It is the emotional drive, the fundamental meaning behind what you do. It is far deeper and bigger than any hobby, or any job description for that matter.
… except when they're right, that is
There's no denying that passion alone isn't going to take you far if you don't get off your derrière and do something commercially viable with it. However, it is equally true that, as a small business owner, you won't last the distance if you lack passion.
One word of caution, though: no matter how passionate you are about what you do, your clients' needs must come first. Don't be the annoying business owner who talks at people instead of listening to them. If your website is all about the thing you do and how great it is, it's a sure sign that in your enthusiasm, you've forgotten to focus on your clients and their actual issues.

USF applicants 2013 - page 9
Anyone applying to USF's (University of South Florida) nursing program?. I feel discouraged because I heard how competitive and rigorous it is.I have a 3.7 gpa. finished about half of my pre reqs, got A's in all of my science... Read More
- 0Jun 1, '13 by RHill9919Quote from uhuynhI know what you mean. I'm also applying out of the country (for 2014) and communication is beyond difficult!I applied to the USF upper division for Fall 2013 when it opened and I got an email two weeks ago saying my home campus was not the Tampa Campus and that I had to change that. I turned in a campus declaration change to change from USF St. Petersburg Campus to the USF Tampa campus on May 21,2013, and I was so nervous because it was already May 29, 2013 and my campus still wasn't changed! I called them and they said they would get it done that day by the end of day but I checked and my home campus was still St.Pete. I then called them on May 30th and told them I needed it done asap and the lady said she would get it all done by that day. I was checking every hour and it was finally changed before the deadline! I was so happy. I then emailed in the SOAR discussion that my home campus was changed to the Tampa campus and I got a reply the following day (May 31,2013 the deadline)that said this ...Thank you for updating your campus, we will continue to review your application. I was so happy because I thought I wouldn't make the deadline. I hope to get a reply from them soon, I'm super nervous. I'm also out of the country so it's super hard to communicate with the school. My cumulative GPA is 3.47 and for prereq I have all A's and 2 B's. Anyone know my chances of getting in since my cumulative GPA isn't as high as others....I'm really hoping I get accepted. I'm super nervous!
- 0Jun 1, '13 by GettinitdoneSo I totally don't mean to just add myself into the conversation, but I've been watching this thread for a bit now and have also applied to the program for Fall 2013, so I signed up for this site and wanted to share in the excitment. I've just completed my 6 straight semesters of my AA degree with a 3.95 GPA and am taking that much needed break for summer....all except I can't relax waiting on this application!!! That essay had me questioning everything for the whole month of May, now June will be chewing off all of my nails! lol
Well I hope you all get in and we can all meet during orientation
- 0Wow I have the same stats I have a 3.65 cumulative GPA and I have all A's and 2 B's so Im really hoping that all of this is substantial enough lol. Coming straight out of high school I didn't care for my general requirement classes.....
- 0And wow @Gettinitdone your stats are really really good just as long as you have a great essay to match I'm sure you'll be accepted I'm hoping for us all
- 0Jun 1, '13 by TwentyOnePilotsI graduated H.S. 2011. I originally planned on doing my community college's ASN program but I decided to just finish my AA degree and go for USF. I'm hoping the best for all of us!
- 0I felt the same way I just figured why not give it a shot with USF- you never know. If all doesn't work out it's good to have a backup plan and that means the ADN route to me
- 0Jun 1, '13 by TwentyOnePilotsExactly I'm so thankful for this thread. If I couldn't share my anxiety with all you other applicants, I think I would be pulling my hair out right now lol. It's a nice little distraction!
- 0Jun 1, '13 by xmadmoizellexGood luck to us all!
- 0Jun 1, '13 by uhuynhI've been so nervous, I check my email every hour! I've been finishing all my prereq and classes at USF St. Petersburg and taking some classes at USF Tampa for the last two years. I really hope I get into the program for Fall 2013 because I don't want to wait almost another year to apply for the Summer program. Good luck to everyone here!

hezelbubforgetting the past
I was a competitive gymnast for six of my adolescent years, and eventhough I learned tons of amazing tricks I ended up resenting it for a number of reasons. My coach who was prone to massive mood swings completely destroyed my self confidence, gymnastics in general gave me no time for a social life, and I slowly grew to fear every cool thing that I had learned to do.
Recently I have begun to rediscover the joy of flips. I've started doing flips anywhere I can, I can't get enough. Now, five years after I quit the sport all I want to do is go back and do it again. 8 years ago

Oregon State Motto - "She Flies with Her Own Wings"
Home /
Press Release: December 30, 2011
Governor Kitzhaber makes Rose Bowl wager with Wisconsin Governor Walker
(Salem, OR) — Governor Kitzhaber today announced a friendly Rose Bowl wager made with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. The #5 Oregon Ducks are set to take on the #10 Wisconsin Badgers in the 98th Rose Bowl Game on January 2, 2012.
"On Monday, in their third consecutive BCS appearance, the Ducks will show Wisconsin what they are made of," said Governor Kitzhaber. "I can't wait to watch Oregon do what it does best - come together as a team to get the job done. The Badgers are a quality team, and it is a great Rose Bowl match up, but I'm looking forward to collecting on Governor Walker's generous bet."
With the Ducks' victory, Governor Walker will package up a selection of Wisconsin products including: Leinenkugel's beer (produced in the Chippewa Valley), authentic Wisconsin cheese, a package of Andes mints (produced in Governor Walker's hometown of Delevan), and a bottle of Blushing Rose Wine from Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac, WI.
In the unlikely event that the Ducks fall to the Badgers, Governor Kitzhaber will send a selection of Oregon's best craft beers (from all corners of Oregon), Kettle Chips (produced in Salem), Oregon Hazelnuts and Oregon Smoked King Salmon, to Wisconsin to highlight just a few of the of the great items produced in Oregon.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN's development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP supports over 132 countries around the globe in the areas of Poverty Reduction, Democratic Governance, Environment and Energy, Capacity Development, Gender, HIV/AIDS and Crisis Prevention and Recovery. The Bureau for Development Policy (BDP) is UNDP's policy bureau. BDP plays a key role in helping country offices accelerate human development through UNDP's programmes and initiatives.
The Democratic Governance Practice (DGP) is the largest practice area in UNDP/BDP. It works on building effective and capable states that are accountable and transparent. The principal areas of work are organized around 3 clusters: Inclusive Participation, Responsive Governing Institutions, and International Norms and Principles.
The Inclusive Participation cluster supports efforts for expanding opportunities for civic engagement – particularly of the poor, women, youth, indigenous people, and other marginalized groups – in the channels of interaction with the state, at national, regional and local levels.
The Responsive Institutions cluster promotes the development of institutional capacity, and accountability, in the area of access to justice, rule of law and security, public administration and local governance at the national, regional and local level to ensure these institutions reflect and serve the needs, priorities, and interests of all people. Programme priority is given to strengthening the mechanisms of responsiveness and public accountability to the concerns and interests of poor people, women, and other vulnerable or excluded groups.
The International Norms and Principles cluster promotes integration of UN principles, policies, practices, and strategies (on human rights, anti-corruption and gender) within and outside the UN family
Rule of law is a core pillar of UNDP's work – falling within the focus areas of both Democratic Governance and Crisis Prevention & Recovery. UNDP's work on rule of law, access to justice and security seeks to enhance physical and legal protection of people and communities, ensuring legal representation, access to justice services and empowerment of communities and civil society to claim their rights. Programme work includes supporting the development of a constitutional, legal and policy framework, developing the capacities of legal, justice and law-enforcement institutions, both formal and informal, and ensuring that security providers are subject to civilian oversight. It also involves support for legal empowerment and transitional justice mechanisms to address the legacy of large scale human rights abuses. With an in-country presence in over 90 countries worldwide, spanning developing contexts, and conflict-affected and fragile situations, UNDP assumes a pivotal role in providing rule of law assistance to address a spectrum of key challenges to development.
From a democratic governance perspective, the strategic objective of UNDP work in this area is to support "effective, responsive, accessible and fair justice systems promoting the rule of law, including both formal and informal processes, with due consideration to the rights of the poor, women and vulnerable groups". The focus is on the right of the individual to seek redress through adequate, timely and equitable justice and security services based on a balanced approach that marries bottom-up demand with strategic national capacity building and reform planning at the institutional level. The aim is to increase people's legal protection, opportunities and choices so that they are empowered to defend themselves and improve their lives and livelihoods. Rule of law, access to justice and security is a central pillar of democratic governance and creates an enabling environment for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
UNDP provides strategic technical support to states which are engaged in reform and development of a constitutional and legal framework, justice and security service providers, and accountability and oversight mechanisms, including transitional justice processes. In complement, assitance also responds to the rights and needs of poor and vulnerable people through supporting legal empowerment and community security. This may take the form of legal empowerment and legal assistance to address key legal areas such as land and property, employment and economic empowerment. It also includes a focus on community or partnership policing to mitigate the fear of crime and increase education and economic options for young people.
Regionally and globally, groups of practitioners are engaged in developing a rule of law community of practice, in order to build an evidence base of best practices and ensure that what works at country level is used to influence policy and dialogue regionally and globally. Themes vary from region to region, but in all cases UNDP is encouraging exchanges between practitioners, governments and civil society in the global south on all aspects of rule of law, access to justice, security and legal empowerment of the poor.
In order to respond to growing requests for UNDP support on the range of issues in the area of rule of law, access to justice and security including policing, and legal empowerment, we are looking for expertise in programme design and conceptualisation, needs assessment, strategic planning, policy research, analysis and drafting, legal drafting, technical advice and support, programme management and capacity development.

Tdap for pregnant women--yes or no for you?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 10-25-2012 - 12:17am
Are you considering speaking with your OB regarding the Tdap?
|Fri, 10-26-2012 - 10:45am
Hmmmm....interesting. It wouldn't hurt to speak to the doctor about it. Perhaps I'll address it at my next appointment (I'll be 16 weeks). I got the TDAP in the hospital after giving birth to my DD in June 2011 and I breastfed so i assumed that helped provide her the protection she needed until 2 months of age. I plan to BF this child as well, but if the Dr. thinks I should get it while pregnant I will.....that's why they went to medical school and I didn't.
|Fri, 10-26-2012 - 2:22pm
I thought the article was interesting, as well. Immunization is a topic I do want to address, since I run a home based business with many children who come to my home. I don't want an agressive scheduel after that baby is born, but I do want to protect the baby as much as possible, especially there's a higher rate of non-immunization in this area. That baby will be in a different room, but still...

To all of our cyber friends and their furkids...and very safe and Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hanukkah!
|Fri, 11-29-2013 - 10:32pm
Thanks, Laura. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I went to my d-i-l's grandparent's house and it was nice to be part of a family. I sure miss mine around the holidays.
Hanukkah is really early this year! We have a white one despite the early calendar date. Roads were treacherous for holiday driving. We may be in for a white winter in West Michigan this year.
|Tue, 12-03-2013 - 10:52am
Mine was quiet...just DH and myself. I did get most of our indoor decorating done...and finished up on Saturday. Then Sunday I put the outside decorations up.
It's always hard around the holidays....I miss my family too. This year we'll be going up to NY for Christmas...my mother will turn 94YO on Christmas Eve and since we've had some "issues" with her this, it's time to visit.

State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) went to Albany after ousting a 20-year Republican incumbent in 2008. With him came a Democratic majority for the first time in more than four decades.
But four years later, that majority is gone and Addabbo is fighting for his seat in a newly redrawn district facing off against his successor on the City Council.
Addabbo who holds a razor-thin lead against his opponent, Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), according to a recent Siena poll. Some national pundits have said the race is one of the closest and most expensive in any of the 50 states.
"This campaign is the poster-child for campaign finance reform," he said, noting he supports a number of measures to toughen the state's campaign finance laws, making them closer to the city's laws
"The big donors, certainly up in Albany, are very influential," Addabbo said Monday during a meeting with the Queens Chronicle editorial board, adding that his legislation dealing with freight rail in Middle Village has been stymied by colleagues who take donations from CSX and other railroads.
"To limit that, let's change the rules," he said.
Addabbo said one issue that his father dealt with as a congressman that continues to be a problem is airplanes. Back in the 1970s, Rep. Joe Addabbo Sr. dealt with the SST Concorde jetliner and the rise of the jet age affecting quality of life around JFK Airport. Addabbo said he hears similar complaints and is concerned about the future at the airport.
"When the airport talks about expansion, running into Jamaica Bay, I have got to be concerned," he said.
On energy matters, Addabbo said he supports a wind farm off the coast of Rockaway, which could be a place for education as well as a clean means of creating energy. He would reserve judgment on closing Indian Point, but took a stance staunchly opposing hydrofracking — the process by which natural gas is extracted from the ground using a mix of chemicals opponents say could hurt the water supply. Though supporters, including Addabbo's opponent, say it would bring many needed jobs to upstate and much needed tax revenue to the state's coffers, Addabbo said it is too risky. "It's one of the black and white issues for me and my opponent," he said. "The oil companies come in and bring their own workers. If anything, very, very few jobs are created and maybe for an economic boost, the local delis and local hotels profit temporarily."
Addabbo said the process is too dangerous to the water, and noted that hydrofracking has polluted the water in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
"In a district that is surrounded by water, there is no possible way you should be in favor of hydrofracking," he said. "We don't have the mechanisms in place to test the water for radioactivity. The [Department of Environmental Conservation] is clearly not ready for this."
Addabbo also noted the bills regulating or limiting hydrofracking never made it out of the Senate Rules Committee and blamed the GOP majority for that.
He discussed taxes and spending, and defended his record which has been under attack by the Ulrich campaign and Republican allies for his votes on the MTA payroll tax and tax hikes as well as spending cuts while he served on the City Council.
He noted that the city tax hikes were temporary and defended his record in the state Senate, saying that he has looked to cut the budget in areas where spending is "wasted."
"We're looking at insurance fraud, Medicaid fraud," he said. "But when we want to do other things, we have to see what the mathematical effects are."
He continued, "This year we restored money for education, an extra $290 million for schools, and now we have a new source of revenue."
He said a lot of the lottery money that is coming in is not going to schools — much of it is being spent administratively.
"If you talk about cutting waste, let's see what we can do with that," he said.
Addabbo discussed member items, saying that the holds on his discretionary money are hurting the groups in his district that need it, and he is willing to have himself taken out of the equation if need be.
"You've got to have an alternative," he said. "Taking it away from the electeds is one thing, but we have senior centers, veteran groups, social services that are hurting."
He suggested the groups should apply directly to the agencies the money is allocated from, be vetted and receive the funding with the elected officials taken out of the process.
"It sits there in our budget," he said. "It's waiting to be released."
Addabbo refuted his opponent's assertion that there is new money available that he did not get. He explained that the money he had been releasing under his name was originally allocated under his predecessor and during his first year in office.
He said he voted no on an education allocation early in the year because the money was only given to Republican senators.
Addabbo also discussed the situation at The Shops at Atlas Park. He was optimistic that the long-struggling shopping center in Glendale will thrive under the ownership of Macerich, which also owns the Queens Center mall.
Walmart is not welcome in the district, Addabbo said, in part because of its labor practices, but he also would not like to see it at The Shops at Atlas Park, as a Maspeth civic leader suggested, because it would hurt surrounding businesses.
"It would obviously suck up all the businesses on Metropolitan and Myrtle avenues," he said. "But maybe in Rockaway, where there is not a large population of mom and pop businesses."
He believes Macerich is on the right path with the shopping center.
Addabbo expressed his frustration about the power struggle in Albany and was disappointed that Gov. Cuomo did not veto the redistricting lines lawmakers drew up for the next 10 years. "I didn't agree with the governor," he said.
He responded to Ulrich's criticisms that he walked out during a vote on a DNA database back in March by explaining that he and other Democratic senators left the floor that night because of the midnight vote on the redistricting bill.
"It was a sham," he said, referring to the bill and process in which it was voted on. "That's why I walked out."
He responded to attacks that he receives a large stipend for chairing a committee that only met four times, noting his Republican Council successor held just as many and passed fewer bills. He took the GOP majority to task for cutting off debate on bills and preventing Democratic proposals from going to the floor.
"Is it good government? No way!" he said. "That's what frustrates me."

Podcasting the Internal Revenue Code
Lewis & Clark Law Professor Jack Bogdanski (of Jack Bog's Blog! fame) has taken on a new challenge: Podcasting the Internal Revenue Code - one new section every day.
I'm all about public service, and I could not think of a more worthy internet project than to record a reading of the Internal Revenue Code for those who love to download mp3's and play them back on their iPods. You've heard of books on tape? How about tax law coming through those earbuds? Let's kick it with Title 26, people!

Human Rights Awareness Raising on selected topics
The Afghanistan Commission for Human Rights conducted a human rights monitoring project in Kabul, Afghanistan during the period August 2002-January 2003. The recipient observed and reported on human rights violations/abuses occurred in Kabul with respect to the rights of prisoners, rights of returnees, situation of women with respect to early and forced marriage. The Afghanistan Commission for Human Rights developed working relationships with the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (national institution), as well as with international media. The grant has thus enabled the recipient to gain in knowledge, and to improve its reporting skills.
The Afghan Professional Alliance for Minority Rights (APAMR) conducted in April 2003 a two-day training workshop on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Afghanistan, which was part of a general campaign for the follow-up to the ratification of the Rome Statute by the Afghanistan Transitional Administration. The audience was composed of representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Interior, and representatives of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, Attorney General Office, the Supreme Court, Faculty of Law, as well as NGOs' representatives. During the session, an information folder was distributed and made available in local languages. APAMR also conducted two seminars on minority rights for local actors, and training on human rights for human rights defenders in Quetta ( Pakistan).
Women's rights, Violence Against Women and Reproductive Rights
The Afghan Women Lawyers and Professionals Association (AWPLA) organized and conducted a two-day training workshop on women's rights for 76 women of Mazar-e Sharif in Afghanistan in December 2002. Participants were able to learn about their rights and to report on their own situation. The recipient also established an office in Mazar-e Sharif.

Scripture Reading:
Romans 6:1b-11
6:1b Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound?
6:2 By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?
6:3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
6:4 Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in the newness of life.
6:5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6:6 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
6:7 For whoever has died is freed from sin.
6:8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
6:9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
6:10 The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
6:11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
As I read this scripture today, something seems new about it. I've read this scripture before… but in a different way. I use to read this scripture in a scolding way. The message I got from it was "aren't you supposed to be dead from sin? Why are you still sinning then?! Try harder, and don't sin". However, today the scripture seems more comforting and loving. While this scripture is most certainly telling us not to sin, I also feeling it call us to accept forgiveness for past sins.
If the devil is there plotting against Christians, I think one of the prime tools he would use is guilt. When we feel like we are sinful and do not forgive ourselves, we can start to believe that we aren't worthy of God's grace. We can give up. I've seen too many people put themselves down because of things they've done in the past. Their guilt and regret holds them from seeing the beautiful and wonderful person that they are.
This past Sunday I was singing the hymn "Will You Come and Follow Me". I know that I've sung this Hymn before, but never have the words impacted me as much as they did on Sunday. When we got to the fourth verse I found I was so moved by it that I couldn't sing… "Will you love the 'you' you hide if I but call your name? will you quell the fear inside and never be the same? Will you use the faith you've found to reshape the world around, through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?"
Imagine how life changing it can be to embrace the wonderful and beautiful "you" that's inside! There is so much more that you can do for the world when you recognize the fact that you are a child of God who is forgiven and free.
Time of Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving each of us forgiveness. Let us go forth today into this world to share the love that You have given us with everyone we meet. Guide us with Your grace, and fill us with Your peace, in Jesus name we pray. Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Closing Hymn
Will You Come and Follow Me: http://www.msgr.ca/msgr-7/come_and_follow_me%20THEME%20HYMN.htm
May the Lord bless you and keep you: May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." Amen.
Go in peace, serve the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go in peace, serve the Lord
Thanks be to God

My So-Called Life is an American teen drama television series created by Winnie Holzman and produced by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. It originally aired on ABC from August 25, 1994, to January 26, 1995, and was distributed by The Bedford Falls Company with ABC Productions. Set at the fictional Liberty High School in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it follows the emotional travails of several teenagers in the social circle of main character Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes. The critically acclaimed but short-lived show ended in a cliffhanger with the expectation that it would be picked up for an additional season, but it was officially canceled on May 15, 1995.
The show was praised for its portrayal of adolescence and the commentary of its central character, Angela.

Latiffany Beck said she was jolted awake Monday night when a bullet struck her in her rear. Beck said she fell asleep on her living room couch when a gunman drove by and fired nearly a dozen rounds into her home.
"We were on the couch someone came by shooting. We don't know what happened. All I know is I woke up to gunfire and I was shot," Beck said. "It sounded horrible and scary. It scared me straight up out of my sleep me and my husband."
You can spot bullet holes scattered throughout the family's home on the couch, television and walls.
Beck said her main concern is for her children who were home when the shooting happened.
"My 4-year old was lying on the couch four or five minutes before it happened and my 16-year old came and laid him down for me. Had he not laid him down, he probably would have been shot too because it was right here," Beck explained.
Beck said she wants the criminal caught before someone else is hurt.
"Through the grace of God we're here, we're fine. I may have a little wound but I'm alive," Beck said.
Mobile Police were questioning witnesses Tuesday afternoon. If you know who the shooter is, call Mobile Police.

Meet the creatives we're tipping for success this year
This loosely fitted dress style was pioneered in the 50s, as casual clothing was adopted into fashion. For this season's Amy Winehouse collection, we've made our House of Cards keyhole dress from a blend of 76% cotton and 24% stretch nylon that keeps a lean but relaxed fit. We've knitted a "house-of-cards" pattern in drop stitch directly into the body of the dress, in tribute to one of Amy's favourite motifs. We chose a "dome and shank" fastening for the neck, sitting above a keyhole detail that references the placket of our shirtdresses. Our Laurel Wreath is embroidered to the chest in high shine black thread.

Tower International Appoints Jim Bernard President-Americas
LIVONIA, Mich., Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tower International, Inc. (NYSE: TOWR), a leading integrated global manufacturer of engineered structural metal components and assemblies, today announced the appointment of Jim Bernard as President-Americas, effective August 15. Bernard succeeds Bill Pumphrey, who is leaving the company.
"We are grateful for the outstanding leadership and contributions provided by Bill Pumphrey and wish him the very best in his future endeavors," said President and CEO Mark Malcolm. "We also are fortunate and delighted to have a seamless transition of leadership to Jim Bernard, with his deep experience and knowledge of our company and customers."
Jim Bernard has been with Tower for 23 years, serving most recently as Senior Vice President, Sales and Business Development.

LMN Architects
Photo Credit: Jim Maguire
2013 Award of Honor: Cleveland Civic Core
LMN Architects
Now in its second decade, What Makes It GREEN? (WMIG?) Awards program continues to recognize and celebrate the best green design in the Northwest and Pacific region, which comprises the U.S. States of Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington; British Columbia; Guam/Micronesia; Hong Kong; and Japan.
The WMIG? awards program celebrates outstanding work and aims to educate the industry through inspiring storytelling to further the practice of sustainable design and construction. WMIG? recognizes projects that demonstrate the highest accomplishment in environmentally sustainable architecture, combining inspired design, systems analysis, and performance evaluation under the domains of Planet, People and Prosperity.
The unique format of this program allows the public to observe first-hand how a jury of green-building thought leaders deliberates on the Pacific Northwest's greenest projects. Three hours of live interviews with What Makes It GREEN? short-listed project teams offer a rare opportunity to see projects that are pushing the sustainability design envelope and hear where some of our industry leaders think we are and should be going next.
In the evening, join us for Awards Reception to celebrate all of the submitted projects and recognize the finalists. It's an opportunity to see tidbits of the dialogue between national thought leaders in the green building industry while mingling with your friends in the green building design community.
Good design makes a difference

The staff is very nice and the location is very good"
The hotel is well located, a walkable distance from the train station, shopping centre and most of the world heritage sites. Nice reception area and friendly staff. Rooms are typical of Japanese hotels in size , style and fittings. Not so typical was the Onsen which though small was spotlessly clean and well apointed. The one shortcoming was the lack of a general lounge area unless two small tables and dining chairs are classed as sufficient."
great place... youll have everything you need, close to every shops, clean room, comfy bed... would stay here again.."
Very good location, next to airport shuttle service"
Beyond expectation. it's a pity that I stayed here only one night. I love everything in hotel. I stayed in Triple room. The bathroom is the most favorite one. The mini bar in the room is fabulous. Hotel provides nesspresso in room."
The room was clean, and large by Japanese standards. The hotel amenities were standard. Note that the front desk is on the 8th floor. The best thing about the hotel is the proximity to the Osaka JR station. The hotel is about a 5 to 10 minute walk west of the Osaka station (Sakurabashi gate, if I recall correctly). Walk through the mall and the hotel is half a block away. If you have a JR pass, this hotel is very convenient."
Amagasaki was destroyed in the Kobe quake and is completely new and renovated. This hotel is new and convenient in that it is connected to the station and malls via a skywalk. Very modern area, clean and urban. Staff very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast included with our room. Very good value."
Location adjacent to the main train station makes this hotel an ideal choice for most travellers."
Perfect location. Close to JR train station as well as to the sights and the shops. Front desk people were so helpful. The hotel was very nice and well maintained."
