Now In Version 2.0 -- Updated For 2014
Dear Friend,
If you ever want a great lesson in money-making, book a "Magic Your Way" vacation package with Disney.
You can buy tickets any way you want. Individual day tickets, multi-day tickets, park-hopper tickets, season passes, special access tickets and so forth. The more you buy, the greater the deal.
You can add in a "meal plan" where meals are pre-paid in advance at a discount. They've got quick-service dining, regular dining and deluxe dining ... something for every budget and eating desire.
It doesn't stop there. You can't forget lodging, right? Economy, moderate and deluxe options are at your disposal with their numerous resort accommodations on property, conveniently located in the middle of the action. Whatever amount you want to spend, they've got something available.
That's not all: there are options for Disney water parks, arcades, golf (miniature and course), spa, dinner shows, special events and more.
Of course, you can put together a "package" that includes options from all of the above for the "best value" deal. The more you bundle together, the better deal you get.
That's what my family and I do:
While Disney does an excellent job of increasing the amount of money that vacationers spend with these packages, they aren't the only ones who increase sales in this way. Here are a few from my hometown...
- Team Clean. I get my Jeep washed about once a week at a local "hands free" drive-thru car wash. They offer car washes at price points of $4, $7 and $10. You can buy the "basic" car wash for $4 and the "deluxe" car wash for $10. At each price point more things are added to the bundle, such as wax and tire treatment. They have customers who buy at all the price points. I buy the $10 deluxe wash.
- Suddenlink. My hometown internet service provider is a big-time bundler! Not only do they have multiple options for internet service (high speed and really high speed), they also have bundle package deals on services like cable television, telephone service and home security among other things. The more you buy, the better "deal" you get. I spend a couple hundred bucks with them every month.
- Eden Spa. My wife and I both like to get some special treatment down at the spa. She likes pampering and I like to get a sports massage to recover from running ultramarathons. Care to guess what Eden Spa offers? You guessed it, they have package deals with multiple services bundled together. Why get "just" a massage when you can get a facial, manicure, pedicure and so forth for a real pampering?!
Why do these businesses offer bundles?
While reasons might partially include to satisfy customers, to fill a need, to compete against other businesses and so forth, there is ONE primary reason why bundles are offered...
That's the main reason why Disney offers every imaginable option available for their vacation packages. That's the main reason why Team Clean, Suddenlink and Eden Spa offer related services and package deals for those services. They are money-makers, pure and simple.
You can be sure that these businesses aren't the only ones bundling products and services together to increase consumer interest and, ultimately, their own sales. Businesses in every area of the country and across the globe are doing it.
You can be doing it too...
I've been bundling "small reports" together for more than a decade to make a living online. Everything I write starts out at around 7-15 pages in length. I sell the reports individually for $7-$17. Then as they accumulate, I package them together into offers that sell for...
Here's how it works:
Write a 7-15 page report on an "in-demand" subject.
Create additional 7-15 page RELATED reports.
Bundle reports into different types of packages. (case studies below for different "types")
Everything starts with writing reports no longer than 15 pages at a time.
Ultimately these reports are converted into chapters, courses, curriculum, classes and other things that begin with the letter "C". :)
Let's be clear about one thing...
I'm not talking about writing a book that sells at bookstores. Nor self-publishing a manual through direct mail. Nor creating a full-length information product. Nor even writing a 50-75 page eBook.
I'm talking about writing tiny, 7-15 page small reports that sell extremely well. I'm talking about reports that people buy and then download to their computer or electronic devide for reading or printing. (This is all automatic as I'll explain below.) Small reports about virtually anything...
And none of them has to be any longer than a mere 15 pages. If you can write at all, this is about as good as it gets in terms of the amount of words you need to write for the payday potential.
Let me show you what I've been doing...
I started selling small reports on the Internet well over a decade ago. One of my earliest projects detailed how to get a $25.00 credit at X.com ... which became what we now all know as Paypal.com.
This was a while ago!
Since then I've made over a million dollars selling small reports and "bundles" of reports like these...
This report is the "lite" version of the course you are now reading about. It's basically what I call an "introductory" report that is designed to give useful information to the reader, share valuable insights into an idea or concept, and introduce them to a premium priced offer. These low-cost, stand-alone reports are great sellers and establish a trust relationship with the customer. If you deliver good information in the small reports, many will buy "bundles" from you.
If you visit Traffic-Fuel.com you'll see that I have a 12-month membership at the site. Each month you receive a longer "small report" (thus the $20 price tag instead of $7-$9.97) that teaches a different way to generate traffic (visitors) to your website. There is a common "theme" (traffic generation) for all of the reports. The most important thing is the MONTHLY RESIDUAL INCOME. When someone joins the membership site, they are automatically billed the $20 every month for the 12 month period, unless they cancel. These small reports can easily be turned into a membership site for regular, secure monthly income.
This is the course that you are reading about on this page. When you get to the bottom (if you haven't already peeked) you'll see that the price is $97.00 for this deluxe, tell-all course. It was originally created as a series of small reports that I sold. Over time, I bundled them together into this course, polished it up just a bit, and now have an offer that sells for $97.00 per order. Because it's digitally delivered, I profit almost the entire $97.00 every time someone orders the course.
Remember Traffic-Fuel above? Before I launched it, I had another similar 12-month membershp site called The Internet Marketing Report. It sold for $20 per month, $240 for the year. I decided to offer "private label rights" (PLR) licensing to the entire membership. What this means is that customers pay me a one-time fee in order to sell the membership site at their own site and keep all the money they make. I sell these licenses for $297 each. This is basically FREE MONEY for me as I've already made money from the original small reports. In fact, it's not uncommon for customers who bought the original reports to go ahead and buy the licensing!
Drop by FullTimeFormula.com sometime and read about this amazing e-Class. It's a 4-week coaching program where you get weekly curriculum (a series of bundled reports!) and one-one-one coaching from me. By adding in an assignment for each week's curriculum and personal access to me via email, I can now command a big-ticket price of $997.00 per order for the bundle. To me, this is the ultimate profit-generator when it comes to selling information ... when it includes personal, one-on-one interaction with the author of the materials.
These are just a few of the ways that I've bundled small reports into larger packages and offers. There are many, many other examples that I could point to. Feel free to Google my name ("Jimmy D. Brown" with the quotation marks) to learn more about me ... and to read about my impeccable track record as an information publisher with integrity.
Making money by selling information is nothing new. The problem is, up until now, most people have been working way too hard at it.
- Book Writers are working way too hard! Trying to find a publisher can take a long time ... and rejections are hard to take. Self-publishing is often costly and time-consuming. Even getting your book into circulation rarely means any "real" money for most writers.
- Ebook Authors are working way too hard! Many people who START an ebook never FINISH it. Why? Because writing a 75-100 page manual (or even more!) just isn't very easy. And, even if you do get it done, you've worked hard at it for an extended period of time. The average ebook author that I've talked to, who actually gets their ebook written, spends about 2-3 months writing it.
- Information Publishers are working way too hard! Many people who sell huge physical products (DVDs, manuals, binders, the works) at a premium price spend a lot of time creating the materials, finding product duplication services, fulfilling orders, handling returns and so forth. Come on, who wants to work that hard when in a lot of cases you can make just as much money in 1/10 of the time?
- Bloggers are working way too hard! They write blog posts all the time (and probably enjoy it, no doubt) to get active visitors to regularly read their stuff so they can keep selling advertising (ever try to find advertisers??) or in the hopes of getting readers to buy an affiliate offer. Or, if they create their own books, ebooks, information products, they have to do all of the hard work PLUS blog! Yikes!
I don't know about you, but...
I'd much rather spend my time visiting with my family, running, serving in ministry and enjoying my life!
There's a better way!
Maybe you're new to this concept of selling information online. Let me quickly explain why this is such a lucrative industry that I consider to be the perfect "work from home" business...
Since your reports (and 99% of the bundles) will be in "digital" format (I.E. Your customers click on a link and transfer them to their computer or electronic device), there is ZERO cost to dupicate. Sell a $9.97 small report and keep $9.97; sell a $297 licensing package and keep $297. (Less processing fees)
You can literally create a small report in 1-2 days (depending upon how fast you can write 7-15 pages ... I can do it in a couple of hours). You can start from scratch (with nothing) and actually produce sales in around a week or less!
Create a small report is very easy to do with my step-by-step system ... much easier than trying to write a full-length book or even "ebook". You only need 7-15 pages of content to make money! Then, you can bundle these small reports into "bundles" to grow your profit!
There really is no cap on how much money you can make this year (and long-term throughout your life) with this business. With my unique "six-phases" plan, you can continue growing your info-empire for years to come! I'll show you how to bundle your small reports into products and packages you can offer for price points up to $997.00 per order!
You get to work your own schedule from wherever you choose. Your small report business is completely portable. (Heck, I often write from my RV at a campground out in the middle of the woods!)
Everything is set up to take orders automatically, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You're not limited like a traditional business is - you're always "open" even when you're asleep! Your web site processes orders from around the world while you're enjoying life.
You don't need to know how to do anything to build a small reports business. If you can write 7-15 page reports, then you're good to go! Everything is explained in "elementary school" detail so anyone can follow along.
Writing, selling and bundling small reports is a great business opportunity, and I'm going to show you exactly how it works!
I can write a 10-page report in two hours or less. I can create a mini-salesletter for it in another hour. Setting up a site takes half an hour max. In just three and a half hours I can have a completely new manual to sell for $9.97 - it's not uncommon for me to sell hundreds of these.
But, that's not the end of it. I can invest a few more hours, recyle the content and convert this small report into a premium-priced product that rakes in $97.00 or more. I can setup a membership site with 12 of these reports and get $20 monthly residual income for a year. I can sell licensing to a bundle of these reports for $297.00. I can input some personal email Q&A and sell it as an e-class for $997.
Amazing: In the typical time (8 hours) someone else spends a day on the job that they get paid once to work, I can create a stream of income that pays off handsomely for months and even years to come.
We were on the way to a skiing retreat recently and I finished up a 19-page small report on "how to beat any tennis player at your skill level" on the drive there. Another income stream.
My in-laws live about 45 minutes away and on a couple of drives to and from their home to visit, I wrote a small report on "how to lose weight by making tiny, healthy changes". More income streams.
These small reports are so easy to write that you'll find even in your sparest of time you can crank them out.
That's what I love about them - it doesn't take much time at all to write a dozen or so pages of information.
In the typical time you'd spend a day at your regular "job", you could create a small report using the system I'm about to share...
This is my DELUXE, no-holds-barred, tell-all course for writing, selling and bundling 7-15 page reports. Everything is included! If you're expecting to find something left out, then you're probably gonna go blind searching for it. :) There's simply nothing missing from this 166-page, step-by-step course. Look and see if you can spot anything missing.
- How To Choose A Highly-Profitable Market. One of the things that I teach which most others do not, is how to choose a "market" instead of a "niche". Why? Because there's much more money to be made that way! (I'll explain it all inside.) You'll learn 3 rules for choosing the right market you can sell to for years to come, as well as be given a list of 20 researched markets that are proven to be revenue-generators.
- How To Find The Perfect Idea For A Small Report. In this section you'll learn the 2 necessary "criteria" for finding a profitable idea along with 7 "idea hangouts" where you can actually find golden topics to write about in your small report. Even if you have absolutely no clue as to what to sell, you'll be generating dozens of ideas after reading through our idea generation section.
- How To Write P.A.G.E.S. Of High Demand Content. You'll discover more than just "what" to write, you'll also discover exactly HOW to write your small report. Valuable information on brainstorming, outlining, organizing and actually writing your small report to sell like crazy is included in this section. Even if you are a complete beginner (and don't consider yourself a "writer") you'll be cranking out page after page of red-hot content with this primer.
- How To Package, Price and Position Your Small Report. I cover everything you need to know about formatting (I'm talking how to create headers/footers, margins, fonts, indentions - EVERYTHING) your small report, determining the perfect price for your small report (I have 3 principles that no one else talks about) and even a superb tutorial on "positioning" your small report to stand out from others (allowing you to charge more and sell more!).
- How To Create A Small Report Mini-Salesletter. In this section (which, by the way, is worth as much as you'll pay for the entire product!) you'll find a detailed, step-by-step study in copywriting. I walk you through the entire salesletter creation process - all eleven parts, along with examples and screenshots for each - to help you write ad copy that generates sales for your small report. You don't need to purchase any high-priced copywriting course or hire a high-priced copywriter ... you can do it yourself by following this proven-effective system.
- How To S.E.T.U.P. A Web Site To Sell Your Small Report. I don't leave you hanging once you've gotten your small report ready to sell ... I'll actually walk you through the steps for setting up your web site (from scratch!) including registering a domain, setting up hosting, building an HTML page, getting automated order-processing, uploading files and testing the entire process to make sure everything is working properly. And it's all explained in user-friendly language that even a rank beginner can understand and follow. No more trying to "figure it out" on your own!
- How To Turn Small Reports Into A Six-Figure Business. This is a never-before-revealed system for turning tiny reports into a $100,000+ per year business. Even if you've been creating information products for years, this one section (which is actually 23 pages long!) will reveal things about creating an information empire that you've never put together before. I share everything in the "six phases" of a six-figure business with small reports. Each phase builds upon the previous one to create a multi-stream business that continues to grow month after month. It's the ultimate guide to "bundling" small reports into products you can offer for $37, $97, $297 and even $997. Disclaimer: I do not guarantee you will earn six-figures with your business, nor any money at all for that matter. I don't know you, your abilities, you effort, your decision-making, etc. Beware ANYONE who "guarantees" success of any kind without knowing you personally!
As you can see, there isn't anything for you to figure out on your own; no more spinning your wheels looking for the missing pieces to the puzzle. It's all right here in one easy-to-follow system that takes you from zero to sale.
But, don't take my word for it...
Note: These are "real" people just like you - not a bunch of "buddies" that I gave a free copy to in exchange for a testimonial. These are unsolicited remarks from paying customers!
"Easy to understand and implement"
I don't know why you call it Small Reports Fortune ... because I think your guide can be a lot of things but it sure is NOT SMALL. To me it's an info-product MONSTER manual. You walk through all the steps any beginner needs to know when it comes to building a profitable info-product empire. And you tell it in a very simple, practical manner that is easy to understand and implement.
Starting from this point onwards, if anybody asks me how to make money with info-products on the Internet, I am going to say, "Check out Jimmy Brown's Small Reports Fortune."

And, believe me when I tell you, these are just the highlights. There is just so much meaty information stuffed inside this 166-page goldmine of a manual.
Everything you've just read about (and more!) is conveniently packaged for you -
1. The Small Reports Fortune 166-page manual in .pdf format.
2. The Small Reports Fortune audio version in 7 downloadable .mp3 sessions.
So, I guess the only thing left for you to consider is: "Is this for YOU?"
Let me help you with the answer...
If you're a newcomer and you're wondering, "Can someone who's a complete beginner do this?" - the answer is a definite "YES"!
I've specifically created this course to be user-friendly to those just starting out --- which means I've left no detail unexplained.
Everything is systematically arranged in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan that includes everything you need to actually start from nothing and make money... even if you have absolutely no experience!
If you're already familiar with creating information products, then you're gonna love Small Reports Fortune for two reasons:
1. You'll learn a system that is certain to help you make more money with less effort!
2. You'll learn my proprietary, never-before-seen system (6-Phases) for turning tiny, 7-15 page reports into products you can offer for $97, $297 and even $997!
With the numerous shortcuts revealed and the first look at how to really cash-in on tiny infoproducts, you'll refer to this course over and over again!
Most people throw in a bunch of "bonuses" at the close of a letter like this one to "sweeten the deal". In fact, they often include so many extras that the so called "value" of the bonuses well exceeds the value of the course itself! This is a marketing ploy that's used to convine people to buy.
But, here's the problem with these "bonuses" (I figure this is going to upset you as much as it does me) -- they usually have NO VALUE to you as the customer.
Listen to me carefully - I refuse to do that!
I have created 4 bonuses for you when you purchase Small Reports Fortune that were developed specifically and exclusively for this product. That means they are included to give you added value (they enhance the product!) for your purchase.
When you order today, I'll include these bonuses...
Bonus #1 - The 7-Day Checklist For Creating A Small Report In this 16-page report, you'll get a systematic checklist broken down into daily activities for you to complete. Assignments appear in chronological order, completely cover the entire process of creating a small report from start to finish and refer to specific pages of the main manual and bonuses to provide complete, detailed instructions for completing each assignment. |
Bonus #2 - 50 Red Hot Ideas For Your Next Small Report In this 30-page report, you'll learn 50 different categories for your next small report, along with over 270 different title topics you can modify for your own use in generating ideas. By mixing and matching from this one-of-a-kind index (you won't find anything like this available anywhere else for any fee!) you'll be able to quickly choose red-hot ideas anytime you choose without time-consuming research! |
Bonus #3 - How To Improve Your Information W.R.I.T.I.N.G. In this 24-page report, you'll be given 7 incredible techniques for writing faster, easier and better! Included in this invaluable reference (this is *literally* worth more than the cost of the course by itself!) are 9 kinds of "content enhancers," 50 different idea catalyst templates, dozens of writer prompts and invaluable writing techniques to help you improve both the quantity and quality of your finished product. With this report you'll have more ideas to write about and it will be easier to write about those ideas! |
Beginner Bonus #4 - The Beginner's Guide To Promoting A Small Report In this 22-page report, you'll receive a crash-course in getting people to your site to actually buy your small report. Included in this valuable report is information on promoting your small report both offline and online - with flyers, business cards, door hangers, newspaper ads, eBay®, forums, pay-per-click advertising, and ezine articles. The ideas, screenshot examples and details provided will quickly get you started promoting and profiting from your small report. |
Brace yourself, you're in for a shocker now...
I know, I know, here's the spot in the salesletter where I'm supposed to pull out some high-pressure tactic to reel you in like you're a trout who's too stupid to spot the hook.
If you've been around very long at all, you know that most marketers like to tell you if you don't order today you'll miss out. There's always some price increase coming soon, some limited number of orders almost reached.
Well, I'm not like most marketers.
Here's the thing: I've made this incredible resource available for you that should convince you to buy it based on its merits, not my marketing. You should be able to look at what I've told you about the course and say with certainty, "I want it" without me having to twist your arm or use some psychological mind tricks to convince you.
I'll just say one quick thing and let you make up your mind...
You're not going to miss out on this offer if you don't buy right now. It'll almost certainly be here tomorrow. And a week from tomorrow. And a month from tomorrow. The price will almost certainly still be the same. The bonuses will almost certainly still be available.
If you come back a month from now, you'll have the same opportunity to buy the product. No hard sale here.
The point is this: you can start today with nothing and in a month have several small reports (perhaps even your first bundle if you want!) live and taking orders. Or, you can NOT order the course, come back in a month and be no better off than you were today.
That's not a sales tactic, that's reality.
So, go ahead and order today. I'll make sure you are satisfied or give your money back. There's no risk...
How about a money-back guarantee?
Here it is: You've got sixty days to use the course to see if it works for you. If you're not thoroughly satisfied, then you can simply email me and I'll give your full purchase price back to you.
It's that simple. No questions asked. No hassles. No delays. I'll send it back to you just as quickly as you sent it to me. That seems only fair.
So, one last time, here's everything that's included...
1. The Small Reports Fortune 166-page manual in .pdf format.
2. The Small Reports Fortune audio version in 7 downloadable .mp3 sessions.
3. The 7-Day Checklist For Creating A Small Report in .pdf format.
4. 50 Red-Hot Ideas For Your Next Small Report in .pdf format.
5. How To Improve Your Information W.R.I.T.I.N.G. in .pdf format.
6. The Beginner's Guide To Promoting A Small Report in .pdf format.
It's all included. That's good, right? Better still is the fact that you can be diving into these goodies in the next five minutes. Best of all, you can be making money from all of this in just a few short days.
Get started now!
Best regards,
P.S. Follow the checklist and see the results for yourself. If you aren't completely satisfied with what you read and accomplish, then I'll refund your complete payment. You have absolutely no risk!

In my post about the BYOH market last October, I noted that increasing numbers of existing players are connecting their offerings to Apache Hadoop, even as upstarts enter their markets with a singular focus. And last month, I pointed out that Nick Heudecker and I detected a surprising lack of concern about security in a recent Hadoop webinar. Clearly, these two topics have an important intersection – both Hadoop specialists (including distribution vendors) and existing security vendors will need to expand their efforts to drive awareness if they are to capture an opportunity that is clearly going begging today. Security for big data will be a key issue in 2014 and beyond.
Other analysts at Gartner have tracked many of these products, and in my own followup I've been catching up on the work of Joseph Feiman and Brian Lowans, among others. Their Magic Quadrant for Data Masking, published in December, offers useful discussion of that capability (both static and dynamic) and which existing players have already added Hadoop support. Axis Technology's DMSuite, Dataguise (who partners with Compuware), IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Privacy and InfoSphere Guardium Data Activity Monitor, Informatica Dynamic Data Masking and Persistent Data Masking, and Voltage SecureData Enterprise are all mentioned in the MQ.
There are other offerings, of course – for example Feiman and Lowans note that masking of big data is available for the Oracle Big Data Appliance with its installed Cloudera distribution, but added that it requires the use of Oracle consulting services, or the services of Oracle's numerous service partners. Similarly, there are several emerging Hadoop focused firms I've mentioned elsewhere and will cover in an upcoming piece of Gartner research I'm doing with Neil MacDonald. With RSA coming up this week (unfortunately, I can't attend), I expect to see more heat – and perhaps light as well – on the issue ahead.

So Happy Together: Dave Grohl Finds Nirvana in the Foo Fighters
Three years since Nirvana's glorious run came to its catastrophic end, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters may finally be free of the ghosts and expectations that followed.
Forget Dolly the Sheep: Hawkins seems like he's a clone of Grohl, only three years younger. With his mop of dirty-blond hair and goatee, Hawkins is looking kind of Skeet-like himself, and he's as skinny, antic, and hyperkinetic as Dave, maybe even more so. "I can't wait to go on tour so I can see if Taylor ever sleeps," laughs Grohl. Besides the ability to play like John Bonham, Stephen Perkins, or his idol, Stewart Copeland, Hawkins brings his own, surfer-influenced dialect to the Foo mix: a sample glossary includes "winger" (complainer), "Hessian" (hick, redneck, unsophisticated, burnout), and "flobe" ("when you fuck something up," says Hawkins, "like, if you've floundered, you're a flobe"). "He's the whitest Southern California surf kid I know," opines Smear.
Hailing from Laguna Beach, about 50 miles south of L.A. in Orange County, Hawkins just spent a year and nine months of constant touring in Morissette's backing band, which offered excellent preparation for the Foos' six hours of nightly rehearsal overseen by General Grohl. "You have to be an athlete to play these drum parts," says Hawkins. "I play really hard, and that's the key to playing drums for Dave Grohl—you've got to beat the shit out of the drums."
Grohl himself got a late start at his brutal, ferocious thudding, since he never owned a drum set as a child; his family couldn't afford one. He didn't get his own kit until he was in his third band, couldn't figure out how to build the high hat stand until he was in the Washington, D.C. hardcore outfit Scream, and still can't tune his drums. Grohl learned to play drums on his bed in the D.C. suburb of Springfield, Virginia, using a chair as the high hat, a pillow on the floor as the snare, and the bed as the toms, hammering along with fat, heavy marching sticks to such high-velocity fare as Minor Threat and the Bad Brains on the Fairfax County Public Schools-issue record player that his single mom brought home from her job as an English teacher. "That's why I started hitting the drums so hard," explains Grohl, "playing on pillows, pushing down and pulling up with these fucking bats listening to 'Violent Pacification' by D.R.I. I'd do that until the windows in my bedroom were dripping with condensation from the sweat in the room. It was like a workout tape."
In high school, Dave played in a series of groups—Freak Baby, Mission Impossible, and Dain Bramage—performing on bills with bands like Minor Threat, Trouble Funk, and the Melvins before getting the chance to become a member of Scream, one of his absolute favorites. It wasn't long before Grohl dropped out at 17 to tour full-time, and he remained with Scream until they broke up in July 1990. In the process, Grohl learned the fine art of stretching $7 a day on tour to cover food, cigarettes, and pot. "It was the best education," says Grohl. "If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But Scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian."
When Scream's bassist bailed on them in L.A., leaving them stranded and broke, Dave called the Melvins' Buzz Osborne, who brokered Grohl's move to Seattle in September 1990 to join Nirvana. Although Grohl had been writing songs, there wasn't much opportunity to use them in his new band. "When you're in a band like Nirvana and the songwriter is someone like Kurt, you try to step back and not pollute the process. Don't fix it if it ain't broke."
Despite being at the helm of the Foos' success, Grohl acknowledges that "I'll probably be forever known as 'that guy who played drums in Nirvana.' You can think of it two ways: Like the kid who was caught masturbating in the bathroom in high school and for the rest of his high school career he was the kid who was caught masturbating in the bathroom no matter what he did. Or you can be proud of it. And I'm proud of it. I am."
It's a few weeks after what would have been Cobain's 30th birthday, and a few weeks before the third anniversary of his death. So despite Grohl's demonstrated reticence, later that evening, as we continue our discussion at the hotel, I ask him how he planned to mark the upcoming milestone. "Believe me," he sighs, "I realize that it's the three-year anniversary." He pulls at his mustache and averts his eyes from mine. I'm left staring at the tape recorder.
How often does Kurt cross your mind? I finally ask.
"Always. A lot. Daily. In dreams."
When was the last time you thought of him?
"Six nights ago, in a dream," he answers, his voice tinged with resignation. "It's hard not to think about something that everybody wants to talk about all the time."
Grohl lights up a cigarette, then runs his fingers along the tattoo of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's personal rune on his right forearm and gazes out into the cool California night.
"You're dealt a hand," he says finally, exhaling a puff of smoke, "and you just have to deal with it."

The Empower Network is a promotional platform for almost any business model. Promote a product, a business opportunity, coaching, homes for sale, cars or just about anything you have in mind. Considering the Alexa ranking for the Empower Network you will get the better exposure and ranking than your competion.
Originally, this blog post was intended to be longer, and more of a 'formal' declaration to the greater Network Marketing industry.
Unfortunately, in the process of massively re-engaging with our field leadership, remaking all of our core sales material, planning 3 regional events, launching a weekly bonus pool, and otherwise turning on 'supernatural-beast-mode' I don't have time - so I'm going to keep this a rather concise, yet detailed enough rant to get the point across.
Most of this was covered in a conference call I did about 3 weeks ago, which you can listen to, and freely share in this post.
For an official stance, I decided to write this, to directly set straight an unfounded criticism and myth being perpetuated by either people who are trying to sell our affiliates and customers their products using unethical, dishonest tactics, or from straight misunderstandings.
So we're going to hit the rumor first, and then come back to the message, and the real purpose of this blog post.
The Rumor Goes Something Like This:
Empower Network won't allow you to promote multiple offers, or multiple Network Marketing businesses. They randomly changed their terms of service several weeks ago, and are terminating people who are promoting multiple affiliate products.
Truth: Empower Network was built by marketers, for marketers. You can promote whatever you want here - that is not our business to monitor what businesses you want to build, and we have never terminated a single person (ever) for promoting 2 deals - or even 50. In fact, we've allowed people to keep their checks who have left Empower, promoted other things, and directly bashed us to their email lists.
The REASON we do that is because of a fundamental belief that this company was founded with, that if you're an affiliate, you're an INDEPENDENT affiliate, and therefore can pick and choose what you want to market - and if we want to keep you, you must have freedom, and be here of your own free will.
See below on our real message for more.
We also didn't change our terms of service, we re-organized them to be easier to read - except for adding a prohibition against directly and purposefully targeting other people's teams in Empower Network if you're an affiliate here - which I think you'll agree, is a slimy, unethical business practice.
However, in re-organizing our terms of service, we did realize there are things in there that we don't enforce anyways, never have, and are in the process of removing or rewording to be in line with our actual message.
Now, the reasons, message - and real INTENTION and MESSAGE of Empower Network:
The direct sales, affiliate marketing, and network marketing professions all GROW and attract new affiliates by a direct and specific message of freedom.
Whether it is financial freedom, time freedom, or the freedom to operate your business how you want - the message itself is and always has been freedom.
However, 'freedom' is the farthest thing from reality in most direct sales companies. I had first hand experience in this when a team of affiliates left Empower Network in January of 2012, and joined a well known vitamin company.
They joined, taking as many people from Empower Network to that company as humanly possible, and in the process said some things that in all honestly — would have created a direct 'termination response' from every single Network Marketing company I've ever heard of.
However, the only thing we 'Terminate' at Empower Network, is wussy commissions.
So instead of turning into the 'terminator' — I did the unthinkable.
I called them, and said:
"Hey dudes - I love ya. You come from here. Your team comes from here. You have a big check here - and it's not going anywhere. Can you do me a favor and knock it off?"
Bam! Problem solved. Amazingly, they all just stopped.
Because I just loved on em and gave 'em all a big cosmic hug instead.
Here's the funny thing, though:
Later, all these guys saw Empower Network taking off, and the truth was - their checks and their teams kept growing here. So one day, Lawrence Tam (yes, he was on the team) he decided to start promoting Empower Network again.
He sent an email to his list, and…
The company they joined terminated him, Layla and Toby Black, and about 60-70 others.
It blew my mind — because that whole team had come from here, and we didn't care.
The other company though, they threw a damned hissy fit. I literally couldn't believe it.
So Lawrence came back, started building, and you know what? He's now one of ten "million dollar earners" at Empower Network. Would have been pretty retarded of me to terminate him, wouldn't it?
So I'm at our "FREEDOM" conference in Miami this January (appropriately named, right?) and run into a bunch of reps from another well known, international Network Marketing company.
Here's the funny thing:
This company has a list of 'competing companies' — however, Empower Network isn't on the list. So you'd think an 'independent distributor' can do what they want, right?
Well, it turns out that 'independent distributor' has lost it's meaning.
Because this whole team got terminated from big dumb company X for just being in Empower Network. One of the reps asked a big wig at the company 'what the hell? I thought I was an independent rep?'
— and you know what the leader told them?
"You can't do what you want here. This is Corporate America with a 1099."
Well excuse my language when I say …
"What the F*%&?"
That certainly isn't why I got involved as an 'independent rep' … that certainly isn't why I STAYED an 'independent rep' … and that CERTAINLY isn't why I STARTED Empower Network.
I fell in love with this profession for the message of Personal Freedom.
Now, with freedom comes responsibility, as the father of spider man would say, so this doesn't give us a 'Green Card' to do unethical stuff… because life has a way of biting back, even if it's not against the rules.
However - for heaven's sake - if this is what Network Marketing has turned into, excuse me when I say "screw that. I'll live in a Van instead."
See, I believe that if you bring a customer to Empower Network - it was your hard work, your time, your effort, your hard earned advertising dollars, YOUR relationship.
And if you brought them here - you DESERVE to be paid according to our published compensation structure, regardless of whatever else you want to do.
Now that comes REGARDLESS of my personal philosophy, where PERSONALLY I believe that you're much better off focusing your energy on one thing if you are like MOST PEOPLE.
I believe it's better for you.
I believe it's better for your team.
I believe you'll be happier.
I believe you'll make more money.
HOWEVER, you're here to do what YOU WANT - NOT what I want.
If you don't agree with me - you're free to do what you want, as long as you're following laws and ethics.
So I don't care if you promote your vitamin deal.
I don't care if you promote your skin care deal.
I don't care if you promote your drop shipping deal.
I don't care if you promote your attraction marketing system.
And if you want to quit - there's a cancel button under every subscription product in the members area - you're welcome to do whatever you want to do.
Because you're an "INDEPENDENT" AFFILIATE.
To me that means I must win you over by the virtue of my leadership, by treating you right, by paying you more, by creating a more powerful message, by creating a better company, a better vision, a better culture, a SAFER place where you can BE who you WANT TO BE.
So that's my mission here.
I will keep my leaders around by my example.
I will keep my team around by my vision.
I will keep my customers around by my service, and by giving them the BEST PRODUCTS.
And you are FREE to stay.
And you are equally FREE to go.
I just ask that you follow the laws, dammit.
Do income disclosures every time you talk about income claims. A simple: * See our Average Earnings Disclosure HERE. in all your communications will do. You can even affiliate code it by adding ?id=YOURUSERNAME to the end of the link.
I ask that you not market or build your business by infringing on other people's trademarks, images, and copyrights. It's unethical, people hate it, and it sucks.
Let's build a business in the marketplace based off of VALUE …
… and do whatever other businesses you want - just understand there are 'life consequences' to doing lame stuff. It will bite you, eventually.
Empower Network is here to stay.
Our message is a message of freedom.
Our values are here to LIFT UP and EMPOWER others - not to tear them down.
So let's lock arms, and fight the forces of evil.
Thank you for allowing me to clear up the B.S.
LISTEN to the call in this post - it will blow your mind how "on your side" we are at Empower Network.
And if you're a big, evil company that terminates people because of your huge ass ego — I think you suck.
Also, if you're a slimy hairbrain that is targeting our people, and lying to them to try and recruit them into your deal - you suck, too.
Make a note of that.
On your side,

James Blake, A Great Tennis Star Under The Radar
by Celine Elveus (BPRW)
The New York native started playing tennis at the age of five. However James' future as a tennis player did not look too promising when at thirteen, he was diagnosed with severe scoliosis which is a lateral curvature of the spine. James had to wear full-length back brace for eighteen hours a day for five years. The story goes that he was inspired to pursue tennis after he heard a speech by his role model Arthur Ashe the nation's most famous African American tennis player to date. He left his Ivy League education at Harvard after his sophomore year to pursue his dream of playing professional tennis and in 2001 James became the third man with American Heritage to play the Davis Cup for the United States.
Under the radar, James has emerged into a power player. From 2000 until 2003, his career blossomed tremendously with him winning his first ATP tour tournament and the 2002 USTA Waikola Challenger in Hawaii. Unfortunately, 2004 marked difficulties for the tennis star. In 2004, James broke his neck by running into a net post while practicing. He lost his father to stomach cancer shortly thereafter. While mourning his father's death, James contracted shingles that for the moment, paralyzed a side of his face and blurred his vision. However, James did not let any of this keep him from his dreams. After his injuries, he re-entered the ATP and went from number 210 to rank number 49, continuing to climb to the top throughout the years. James weathered many storms including racial issues on the court and he has done all that under the radar.

Your blog gives me so much inspiration and has got my making quilts by the dozen lately. I was thinking about sending one out to be quilted a little fancier but have no idea how much it should cost? The quilt I want to send out is about 40 by 70 inches, any ideas about how much it should cost? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I dont have any quilt shops close that do this type of thing, so a bit of driving is involved but so worth it.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam.

Daily Words of Wisdom
By Beth Levine
Special Offers
When life looks like it's falling apart, it may just be falling in place.
Beverly Solomon, 55, Lampasas, TX; creative director
"When my husband and I left Houston to restore an 1856 ranch in the Texas Hill Country, it seemed like everything that could possibly go wrong did. I was starting to have doubts about our decision. But then I realized that all of these 'bad things' had to happen and this affirmation came to me. Now I say it to myself whenever something upsetting happens."
Will this matter five years from now? No? Then get over it.
Hali Chambers, 45, Luray, VA; massage therapist
"I use it whenever little disasters stress me out I miss an important phone call, say or if someone cuts me off while driving. It helps me keep perspective on what's important: family, friends, staying centered."
When I focus on what's good, I have a good day.
Meg Joseph, 42, New Rochelle, NY; community college marketing professor
"I say that to myself when I'm confronted with a setback. Recently, I just couldn't complete a grant application by the deadline. Instead of beating myself up about it, I focused on two good things first, that I could finish up the proposal when I had more time and apply next year, and second, that I now had more time to focus on my family. I could feel the tension releasing almost instantly."
This isn't as important as you're making it; don't allow it to rent space in your head.
Brenda Nixon, 54, Columbus, OH; author and speaker on parenting
"I used this phrase many times in the throes of child-rearing challenges. During a hard time at work, telling myself the job wasn't as important as I was making it helped me relax. Now I say, 'Wisdom is knowing what to overlook and what to oversee.'"
Don't worry about the mule going blind; just keep the wagon loaded.
Mary Ann Lowry, 55, Thousand Oaks, CA; life coach
"I love this little mantra that my father learned from his father, who grew up on a farm in Texas. The basic message is, 'Put one foot in front of the other, and keep moving forward.' The saying always makes me smile even in the worst of times. I used it just yesterday: On the way to meet friends for breakfast, I got a ticket. I started getting all worked up about the fine, traffic school, being late. Then I reminded myself not to worry about the mule going blind: I could let this incident ruin a beautiful day, or shift my thoughts from the future to the present, from anxious to mellow. And I did."

I think a lot of people deal with this event differently. This year will be my fifth anniversary of my alive day and only in the past year have I felt comfortable talking about it.
I had a similar event to the person listed above, meaning I had survivor's guilt. Everyone grieves differently. I'd say the best thing to do is make it into something different. Don't call it an alive day, try asking your friend to consider it a day of honor for his fallen comrades.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is an organisation set up by the Nigerian government to involve the country's graduates in the development of the country. There is no military conscription in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of universities and later Polytechnics have been required to take part in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program for one year[1]. This is known as national service year.
"Corp" members are posted to cities far from their city of origin. They are expected to mix with people of other tribes, social and family backgrounds, to learn the culture of the indigenes in the place they are posted to. This action is aimed to bring about unity in the country and to help youths appreciate other ethnic groups.
There is an "Orientation" period of approximately three weeks spent in a camp away from family and friends. There is also a "passing out ceremony" at the end of the year and primary assignment followed by one month of vacation.
The program has also helped in creating entry level jobs for a lot of Nigerian youth. An NYSC forum dedicated to the NYSC members was recently built to bridge the gap amongst members serving across Nigeria and also an avenue for corpers to share job information and career resources as well as getting loans from the National Directorate Of Employment.

We are very pleased to honor long-time HCCNC supporter, entrepreneur, author and Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist Jan Yanehiro with our 2014 Kūlia I Ka Nu'u Award. A graduate of Farrington High School in Honolulu, Yanehiro has left an indelible mark in television broadcasting as the founding co-host of KPIX TV's "Evening Magazine" from 1976 to 1990, a program that pioneered the magazine format on television. We recognize Jan Yanehiro for blazing a trail for API youth, especially young women, and for also demonstrating that there are truly no limits to what you can accomplish. Yet, despite her numerous awards and accomplishments, Yanehiro is quick to note that her proudest achievements are her three children, Jaclyn, Jenna and JB Zimmerman. The HCCNC proudly salutes Jan Yanehiro for her perpetual Aloha Spirit, and for never forgetting her humble Kalihi roots.
The HCCNC's Kūlia I Ka Nuʻu Award is presented to trailblazers, leaders, and innovators who have spread the Aloha Spirit beyond the Islands' borders; the only award of its kind from the only organization of its kind outside of Hawaiʻi. Past awardees include Chefs Alan Wong, Sam Choy, and Roy Yamaguchi; Allan Ikawa of Big Island Candies; Hawaiian Airlines; Brothers Cazimero; former University of Hawaiʻi Coach June Jones; the late Wally Yonamine (a former 49er and the first Asian American to play professional football); the Bay Area's very own Mary Bitterman, Kumu Patrick Makuakāne, and others.
Introducing Jan Yanehiro: Sydnie Kohara and Emerald Yeh
A native of Louisiana, Sydnie Kohara has spent more than two decades as an award-winning anchor with CBS, CNBC and others, she currently develops media strategies for a wide range of companies and individuals, taking their stories from script to screen and beyond. While technology has dramatically changed the way that news is gathered and reported, Kohara states, "I still use the same method of fact-gathering that I learned – growing up around storytellers in Central Louisiana, and then, starting out as a reported in Alabama – to craft compelling narratives. I listen, and I listen carefully for the gems that make stories come alive and make audiences care."
Emerald Yeh is an award-winning television journalist who served as an anchor for 19 years at KRON4 in San Francisco. During her tenure at KRON4, she received numerous national and local awards for her reporting, including nine Emmys. Emerald also led KRON4's Contact 4 unit with reports that examined consumer issues and provided problem-solving information. Her Contact 4 team received the Consumer Excellence Award from advocacy organization Consumer Action.
Emerald also received three awards from Radio and Television News Directors Association for "Summer Camp: Children of Alcoholics," Best 30-Minute Newscast and "Holocaust Heroes." She also won an award from the Associated Press Television and Radio Association for the week-long series "Sudden Wealth."
A graduate of the University of Hawaii, Emerald majored in journalism and minored in political science. She earned a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.

Music by Steven Espaniola
It's rare when an artist arrives on the scene offering a refreshing new spin on a traditional genre of music. Steven Espaniola (www.stevenespaniola.com) is that artist. Raised in Aliamanu, Hawai'i and now residing in the California Bay Area, Steven is a multi-instrumentalist specializing in kī hōʻalu (Hawaiian slack key guitar), 'ukulele, upright bass, and leo kiʻekiʻe (traditional Hawaiian falsetto). Of Hawaiian, Filipino, and Spanish decent, his ethnicity is as diverse as his unique sound which preserves the integrity of the traditional with a flourish of the modern. His debut recording entitled Ho'omaka, "to begin", features a mesmerizing collection of traditional and original Hawaiian mele recorded by Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winning producer Dave Tucciarone. Ho'omaka will be sure to transport the listener to the Hawai'i of yesterday with soaring falsetto vocals, nahenahe slack key guitar and rhythmic 'ukulele. Steven Espaniola's highly anticipated debut album will carry you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
Music by Ben Ahn
Fans have described Ben's style as a mix between diverse vocals and ʻukulele virtuosity. He plays just about every type of music out there, and he doesn't hesitate to mix in a few stories between songs.
Born and raised on the island of Kauaʻi, Ben studied the piano, trumpet, and baritone before falling in love with the four-stringed ʻukulele. In 1999, he began his studies at Southern Oregon University where he would eventually graduate with an MA in Teaching, a BA in English Writing, and a minor in Human Communication. During that time, he also recorded two independent albums with his band Melemana.
Since college, Ben has been invited to play and speak all around the world, including a 2012 World Musician selection by the American School in Japan. He has accumulated thousands of hours of stage-time, and is continually redefining his performances to ones that both new and returning fans love. In 2013, he made San Francisco, California his new home, but he will always remain connected to the island of Kauaʻi, where his musical journey began. (www.benahn.com)

Jim Cramer: Trading a Glut in Oil
NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- Not enough pipe. Not enough refinery space. Too much oil. That's the story of the Permian oil field, where production has increased as astounding 400,000 barrels a day in the last two years.
That's caused a discount to the already-discounted West Texas Intermediate price. How big is it? Right now, West Texas is selling for a discount of $10 to Brent -- $98 vs. $108 -- and then Permian is selling at an additional $8 decline to the $98 price as Permian producers duke it out for pipeline space and take discounts galore to do so.
That's behind the remarkable resurgence of the refiners as the ones on the Gulf are buying $90 oil and then selling that refined product for the world price, making a killing in the process. It's this glut of Permian oil that's causing the margins to expand at a breathtaking pace and it is unlikely to reverse itself any time soon.
Dan Dicker and I had a good sit down about the price differential in a video, but what you need to know is that, according to RBN Energy, the source I use for all things energy in this country, the discount is not going to go away any time soon. In fact, it should get worse before it gets better because the oil is being pumped in increasing amounts, and new pipe that can help alleviate the space constraints won't be available until at least June. That means three more months of wide spreads and three more months of outsize profits for Alon USA Energy (ALJ - Get Report), Marathon Petroleum (MPC - Get Report) and HollyFrontier (HFC - Get Report), all of whom reside at the other end of the pipe from the Permian.
Watch more videos from Jim Cramer I am not a big fan of the refiners because they are so hard to gauge. What happens when not one, but two new pipes open in June? Will the differential close and all of the momentum money pour out of these stocks? Will the pipes work right all at once? Is the oil increasing at such a pace that it will quickly overwhelm these two new pipelines? To me, it will be a game of chicken come June. But there is no doubt in my mind that the estimates for the refiners are too low because of this Permian discount to the discount. These refiners all report in the first week of May. I bet they run right into them as more and more people figure out the discount. But then you would have to jump ship when they report, because they will have to say that the two new pipes that open in June could eliminate the discount to the discount. Sounds like a good trade on any weakness that comes from the price of West Texas crude stabilizing here, simply because it isn't emblematic of either the real price they are getting in the Permian or the world price sent in Brent. But it is emblematic of windfall profits for the refiners as pipe pace is tight, no new refineries have come on since 1976 and we just keep finding more and more oil in the Permian every day. Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, has no positions in the stocks mentioned.

Notable cases
Strippers entitled to minimum wage (2009-2013)
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Hart v. Rick's Cabaret International Inc. et al, 09 Civ. 3042 (PAE))Engelmayer presided over a minimum-wage violation class action suit filed on behalf of nearly 2,000 current and former strippers employed at Rick's Cabaret, a Manhattan gentlemen's club. Like many strip clubs, Rick's classified its exotic dancers as independent contractors, without paying hourly wages; they earned income solely from customer tips. Because of the "tight control, indeed, control fairly described as micromanagement" Rick's enforced upon its dancers, often in the form of stringent guidelines and hefty fees and fines, Engelmayer ruled that they ought to be classified as employees deserving of a minimum wage, rather than as independent contractors. Attorneys for the club said that an appeal is likely.[6][7][8]
