Stockholm syndrome, or capture–bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness. The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly 27% of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.
Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other." One commonly used hypothesis to explain the effect of Stockholm syndrome is based on Freudian theory. It suggests that the bonding is the individual's response to trauma in becoming a victim. Identifying with the aggressor is one way that the ego defends itself. When a victim believes the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be a threat.
Sweden is a country in Northern Europe on the Scandinavian Peninsula. It borders Norway to the west; Finland to the northeast; and the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Bothnia to the east and south.
Sweden has a long coastline on the eastern side and the Scandinavian mountain chain (Skanderna) on the western border, a range that separates Sweden from Norway. It has maritime borders with Denmark, Germany, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and it is also linked to Denmark (southwest) by the Öresund Bridge. At 450,295 km2 (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the 55th largest country in the world. It is the 5th largest in Europe and the largest in Northern Europe.
A hostage crisis develops when one or more individuals or an organized group hold people against their will and try to hold off the authorities by force, often threatening to kill their hostages if provoked or attacked.
Typically, the party of the hostage-taker(s) will issue demands to the forces keeping them surrounded. In a planned hostage crisis, there is often a list of political or religious demands, often including the release of imprisoned friends or allies. In cases where the hostage situation was improvised as a desperate attempt to avoid capture, the demands usually revolve around exchanging the lives of the hostages for transport to safety.
Europe is traditionally reckoned as one of seven continents. Physiographically, it is the northwestern peninsula of the larger landmass known as Eurasia (or Afro-Eurasia); Asia occupies the eastern bulk of this continuous landmass and all share a common continental shelf. Europe's eastern frontier is delineated by the Ural Mountains in Russia. The southeast boundary with Asia is not universally defined, but the modern definition is generally the Ural River or, less commonly, the Emba River. The boundary continues to the Caspian Sea, the crest of the Caucasus Mountains (or, less commonly, the Kura River in the Caucasus), and on to the Black Sea. The Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles conclude the Asian boundary. The Mediterranean Sea to the south separates Europe from Africa. The western boundary is the Atlantic Ocean. Iceland, though on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and nearer to Greenland (North America) than mainland Europe, is generally included in Europe for cultural reasons and because it is over twice as close to mainland Europe than to mainland North America. There is ongoing debate on where the geographical centre of Europe falls.
Mind control (also known as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, thought control, or thought reform) refers to an indoctrination process which results in "an impairment of autonomy, an inability to think independently, and a disruption of beliefs and affiliations. In this context, brainwashing refers to the involuntary reeducation of basic beliefs and values" The term has been applied to any tactic, psychological or otherwise, which can be seen as subverting an individual's sense of control over their own thinking, behavior, emotions or decision making.
Theories of brainwashing and of mind control were originally developed to explain how totalitarian regimes appeared to succeed systematically in indoctrinating prisoners of war through propaganda and torture techniques. These theories were later expanded and modified by psychologists including Margaret Singer, to explain a wider range of phenomena, especially conversions to new religious movements (NRMs). A third-generation theory proposed by Ben Zablocki focused on the use of mind control to retain members of NRMs and cults. The suggestion that NRMs use mind control techniques has resulted in scientific and legal controversy.
Within the context of psychology, social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. By this definition, scientific refers to the empirical method of investigation. The terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors include all psychological variables that are measurable in a human being. The statement that others' presence may be imagined or implied suggests that we are prone to social influence even when no other people are present, such as when watching television, or following internalized cultural norms. Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the interaction of mental states and immediate social situations. In general, social psychologists have a preference for laboratory-based, empirical findings. Social psychology theories tend to be specific and focused, rather than global and general.
Social psychologists therefore deal with the factors that lead us to behave in a given way in the presence of others, and look at the conditions under which certain behavior/actions and feelings occur. Social psychology is concerned with the way these feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions and goals are constructed and how such psychological factors, in turn, influence our interactions with others.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
West needs strategy when Crimea's lost
It will take cool heads to deal with Vladimir Putin after he dismembers Ukraine. And that moment is coming soon.
Even as U.S. President Barack Obama welcomed Ukraine's acting prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, to the White House, the Russian leader moved toward annexation of Crimea. Putin continues to deny what the world sees -- that Russian troops have invaded Crimea -- while hinting he might send forces to eastern Ukraine to "protect" ethnic Russians.
Related Items
It's time for Obama and European leaders to look beyond Crimea to how they can prevent Putin from making even more dangerous moves.
Of course, the situation in Crimea remains extremely troubling. On Sunday, under the "protective" eyes of Russian troops, Crimeans will vote on whether they want to become independent and join up with Russia. Russians are 60 per cent of Crimea's population, and the region has historic ties to Russia, but only a minority wants to unite with Moscow, according to recent polls.
But Moscow's minions will guarantee the outcome of Sunday's vote.
Despite any legitimate gripes Putin may have with the West, the invasion of Crimea is blatantly illegal. In 1994, Russian, U.S., and European leaders pledged to respect Ukraine's borders in return for that country's surrendering its nuclear weapons. Moreover, the 1997 agreement with Ukraine that permits its ships to base in Crimea requires the approval of the Kyiv government for any Russian troops to operate outside the port city of Sevastopol. Clearly that accord has been breached.
Still, the consequences of losing Crimea, which only became part of Ukraine in 1954, pale beside what would happen if Russia invades mainland Ukraine. The Crimean takeover has seen little violence; a Russian invasion of the Ukrainian mainland would be bloody and shake all of Ukraine's neighbours. It would blow up a manageable crisis into a military threat that could destabilize Europe.
The West's response to Putin's land grab must be firm enough to prevent him from making such a mistake.
Economic sanctions and visa restrictions on Russian officials are already on the table. There will be costs to western businesses with investments in Russia, much more onerous to Europeans, with their heavy energy links to Moscow. But without sanctions, Putin may think he has a green light in Ukraine.
Beyond sanctions, Washington and the European Union also must make a firm commitment to help Ukraine's bankrupt economy recover. This will be painful, since Ukraine has developed a corrupt, oligarch-ridden economy dependent on Russian gas.
U.S. and EU officials must also press Ukrainians to reassure ethnic Russians they have a future in Ukraine. One of Putin's strongest cards in stirring up trouble in Ukraine is to persuade ethnic Russians Ukrainian "fascists" threaten their future. That distorted message is spewed non-stop by Russian TV and is the excuse Putin might use to invade eastern Ukraine.
The months-long popular revolt that toppled former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych was fuelled by widespread revulsion at corruption.
It comprised members of every ethnic group from across the political spectrum. But toward the end, right-wing nationalist groups played a larger role.
In Ukraine's transitional government, Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Sych is a member of the nationalist Svoboda party. Its leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, famously argued in 2004 a "Moscow-Jewish mafia" was ruling Ukraine.
Several other interim ministers are current or former members of Svoboda, and the deputy secretary of national security, Dmytro Yarosh, is the leader of Right Sector, a group even more nationalist than Svoboda.
Such groups glorify Stepan Bandera, a nationalist who battled Soviet domination during and after the Second World War, but is also accused of collaborating with the Nazis and killing Poles and Jews.
With Crimea lost and Putin threatening the Ukrainian mainland, far-right groups may gain traction. Already, Ukraine's transitional government briefly tried to drop Russian as one of Ukraine's official languages, before reversing course.
Policies that make Russian citizens feel threatened will play into Putin's game plan. Western governments should strongly advise their Ukrainian counterparts to avoid such mistakes. Yatsenyuk did just that in Washington, insisting close ties with Europe would not rule out friendship with Russia.
"We will preserve the rights of all minorities," he added.
Still, said Columbia University professor Tarik Cyril Amar, "There should be conditionality on western aid. They should insist that far-right tendencies be kept in check. This would be doing Ukraine a great favour."
Putin will try to terrify Ukraine's ethnic Russians into begging for Russian help. Ukraine must deprive him of that possibility -- with western help.

I can't tell if my kitten is a boy or a girl!!!!!
I have a boy cat, and a girl cat, and this new kitten now.
We got the kitten from a friend, not a vet. We were told it was a boy, but after, *ahem* ... "examination" I think it looks like a girl. On my male cat he kinda has a little ... thingy ... and on my girl cat it looks WAY more like the kittens parts. Are there any other distinctive features how I can tell if it is a boy or girl? Or should I just wait and see if any "fuzzy dice" drop? The kitten is about 12 weeks. When would his "male" parts come if it is a male?!?! Thanks, I am really confused.

.On This PageSYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario:
Specifically, iSCSI Initiator cannot communicate with the target for a period of five times the Disk Timeout value that is specified in the following registry entry: Subkey: After a
period of
five times the Disk Timeout Value
elapses, iSCSI Initiator performs session recovery, and then the iSCSI session is dropped and reestablished. Eventually, iSCSI Initiator may be able to
communicate with the iSCSI target again.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk Entry: TimeoutValue Type: REG_DWORD Value: The Disk Timeout Value in seconds CAUSEThis problem may occur because of a defect in how
iSCSI Initiator determines how many times it has

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Making Yourself a CEO. She got a big booty so I call her Big Booty.—2 Chainz, Birthday Song The other day, a friend of mine asked me whether CEOs were born or made.
I said, "That's kind of like asking if Jolly Ranchers are grown or made. CEO is a very unnatural job." After saying it and seeing the surprised look on his face, I realized that perhaps it wasn't as obvious as I'd originally thought. After thinking further, I realized that most people actually assume the opposite—CEOs are born not made. William & Mary - Competitive programming team prepares for World Finals. Start Every Day as a Producer, Not a Consumer. I have to agree that my most productive days are those where I don't allow myself to read the news, check e-mail, facebook, etc., right after I get up.
However, that happens because I've got a ton of stuff to get done, and the outside world takes a back seat until my workload is under control. However, there are certain biological necessities that have to happen before I can be productive. The dog gets let out, I go to the bathroom, I eat/drink something, and *then* I sit down to be productive. I also *have* to check my e-mail, because if something blew up overnight or there's something that needs to be dealt with ASAP, I need to know as early as possible.
I've found that reading my e-mail on my phone curbs the impulse to respond to everything immediately, because composing a lengthy e-mail on a tiny touchscreen sucks. Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years. Practicing-programming - steveyegge2. Back in October I wrote an essay in which I compared programming to other professions.
In it, I made the unsubstantiated claim that programming is unusual, in that most programmers don't practice their craft -- at least, not in any disciplined or regular way. Those are, of course, fightin' words, so I figured I'd write a bit more about it. This essay is a sort of mini-manual about practicing to be a better programmer. What exactly does it mean to practice becoming a better programmer? Well, of course the boring dictionary definition is: "To do or perform something repeatedly in order to acquire or polish a skill.

"Kazanluk: Valley of the Roses" Top 5 Page for this destination Kazanluk by keeper7
Kazanluk Travel Guide: 76 reviews and 221 photos
Welcome to Kazanluk, the capital of the rose-growing region, known as the Valley of the Roses, is located 200 km east of Sofia, 55 km. east of Karlovo, 48 km. south of Gabrovo and 75 km. west of Sliven.
Located at the foot of the Balkan mountains, Kanzaluk is a great place to visit true bulgarian customs & culture. A great place to escape the fast life and enjoy a quiet time in the middle of Bulgaria.
This is a recent picture of Kazanluk taken April 2008, during the Valley of the Roses. Thanks & credit to my brother-in-law for the picture.
Kazanlak is well-known for its production of rose oil, the importance of which is reflected in the Festival of Roses held in early June. Nowadays the city is known also as the centre of the Valley of the Thracian Kings.
Kazanluk is changing day by day. This fountain is a great addition to center of Kazanluk.

The text below is an excerpt from the complete document. Read the full report in PDF format.
This report examines more than 100 programs through which the federal government spends money on children and calculates the amount spent on children under three. These first time expenditure estimates provide a place to start in gauging the priority the nation places on investing in very young children and in comparing expenditure patterns to researchers' findings about investments that work. For example, despite extensive child development research underscoring the importance of quality early care and education programs for infants and toddlers, especially those in poverty, just 7 percent of federal funding for children between birth and age 2 went toward these efforts in 2007.
Research suggests that investing in young children can help build a strong future workforce, improve children's educational success and health, and potentially reduce some of the social ills that drain the nation's resources and will. To have an informed conversation about future investments, it is important to start from an understanding of the baseline: What investments does this nation currently make in young children? Which programs and purposes are currently supported by federal investments, and which are not?
The purpose of this report is to provide such a baseline understanding and inform a national conversation about how best to invest the country's resources, by examining federal expenditures on infants and toddlers, defined as children under age 3. We look at more than 100 programs through which the federal government spends money on children and calculate the amount spent on this population. Because this is the first year of this research, we cannot assess trends over time, and we cannot estimate state resources, only federal. Moreover, we cannot say from these results anything about the success, efficiency, or merit of a particular type of spending. Nor does the level of spending on very young children demonstrate how much help is needed. However, these baseline estimates provide a place to start in gauging the priority the nation places on investing in very young children and in comparing the expenditure patterns to researchers' findings about investments that work. Experts make six compelling points about the value of investing in young children:

About this item
Hurtled back through time more than two hundred years to Scotland in 1743, Claire Randall finds herself caught in the midst of an unfamiliar world torn apart by violence, pestilence, and revolution and haunted by her growing feelings for James Fraser, a young soldier
Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century, and a lover in another...
In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon--when she innocently touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an "outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life ...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

As I mentioned last week, two milestone documents out of the UK have just been released, one a 200-page report requested by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and called "The Byron Review," and the other a set of guidelines for social-networking-service best practices issued by the Home Office itself . Both have worldwide relevance not just […]
Mother-son digital divide bridged
A recent discussion in ConnectSafely.org that illustrates what's still missing in best-practice guidance: dealing with the third-party code and hacks that, increasingly, are jeopardizing users' computers (and maybe sometimes their relationships with their parents!). This exchange also illustrates how parents' tech illiteracy can widen the parent-child digital divide referred to in the Byron report (see […]
Former bullies help fight bullying
Here's a concept: Have former bullies star in a film to educate teens about bullying. That's the idea behind "The Stories of Us," a 25-minute film that's fiction but looks more like a documentary to some educators, who are showing it in American schools, the Chicago Tribune reports. Teens wrote, acted in, and produced it. […]
Love-sick teen not convicted
For posting comments such as "I love you," "we need to be together," and "I will never stop trying to talk to you" in a 14-year-old girl's MySpace profile, an 18-year-old man was charged by New York state prosecutors with "aggravated harassment and endangering the welfare of a child," a Wired News blog reports. But […]
Computer security sea change & youth
You know that old argument about Mac vs. PC security? Well, it really is an old argument now. Computer security really isn't about what operating system your computer has anymore. Now it's really about 1) what browser you use and where you go online, and 2) how smart you are (or your child is) about […]
New tech detects child porn
The long-suffering image analysts at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children must have one of the hardest, most emotionally draining jobs there is. Fortunately, it just got a little easier with the help of image-detection technology developed by Google, ConnectSafely.com co-director Larry Magid reports at CBSNEWS.com. The software eases dependence on an analyst's […]
We're all becoming Net-trained info-gatherers
Apparently we're all becoming the rapid-fire, uncritical information hunter-gatherers we had thought only our children were. Yes, they're the digital natives but, according to a new study out of the UK, the Internet is "training" all of us to approach information this way, which may mean we all have to work extra hard now to […]
Milestone Net-safety view from the UK
The Byron report, an influential document that has relevance for and hopefully influence on Internet-safety work worldwide
UK: 2 valuable view on Net safety, Part 1
Two milestone documents out of the UK – one a 200-page report requested by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and called "The Byron Review" after its lead author, clinical psychologist and TV personality, Dr. Tanya Brown, and the other a set of guidelines for social-networking-service best practices issued by the Home Office itself – have just […]
US hotline & other new Net-safety resources
A significant development in the online-safety field: Parents in the US now have a toll-free number to call with questions about topics such as social networking, cellphone texting, and virtual worlds. The bilingual hotline (English and Spanish) is sponsored by the Qwest Foundation and operated by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) […]

Customer questions about this product
- My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
- Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in other cases, you'll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation.

When Charlie Chaplin wasn't expertly executing banana peel gags or pretending to sit down to a meal of boiled hobnailed boot, one of his most favorite things to eat was a good stack of buttermilk pancakes. Charlie would have just loved Jinky's Banana Foster Cakes! Fluffy pancakes topped with bananas that are cooked in a reduction of orange juice and caramel garnished with a generous amount of almonds and a light dusting of powdered sugar… who could resist?

Solid family Cafe off the 118 on Arboles.
Location shares a parking lot with Ciscos and a strip mall so there is plenty of shopping. We went on a Friday night and it was nearly empty, which was concerning. The prices were reasonable; perhaps $3-4 higher per plate than you'd expect from similar cafes.
The service was 3-4 stars. Not great, but not terrible. The food was good overall. I got a Chicken Parm Sandwich which was tasty. My son had a flat bread pepperoni pizza which was pretty large and tasted good. My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich. Overall, the food was fresh and well prepared. Drinks were refilled after a short delay, but we didn't have to chase after the waitress.
The restaurant has nice booths and large TV's to watch sports. Frankly was surprised it was so empty on a Friday night.
Overall, a nice cafe to grab a bite. Family of four cost $60 after tip. Bit high for a cafe, but not crazy expensive. 4 stars.

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally did this evening. The menu is HUGE and they have all kinds of options for anyone with a different kind of diet. I had a vegan breakfast that consisted of wild rice, tofu, and veggies with a side of tater tots. I can't resist tater tots! It was great except a bit too spicy for my tastes... next time will request that they go easy on the spice. Actually, next time I'll be ordering some of those delicious pancakes. We sat at the counter, which is always my preferred spot in a diner. Our server was awesome... didn't catch his name but he was a very friendly young guy who was doing a fabulous job behind the counter. Can't wait to go back for
REVIEWS Goli A. 5/2/2014 ***** Studio City, CA
This is my go to place when i'm too lazy to cook. They have just about everything, and its usually good too. Theres indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of it. But on the weekends they get super busy and the wait time can get a bit long. The staff are usually nice, but i've noticed on their lesser busy days they get pretty lazy. I once waited 10 mins for a waitress to appear to drop off drinks, then she left and didn't come back for 20 mins, totally unacceptable. And I know she wasn't busy, as I could see her sitting at a table chatting. I had to get up and ask someone else for help. Aside from that issue, everything else has always been good. The food isn't the best in the world, but its good enough to keep coming back.
REVIEWS Vanessa P. 3/9/2014 ***** Los Angeles, CA
I had the coconut, blueberry and strawberry French Toast with a side of eggs and bacon. I know I know, horrible but I felt I was due for a treat so I went big. AMAZING! For whatever reason I've never found fruit with my french toast appealing however this place completely changed my mind. Every ingredient worked perfect together. The bread was nice and fluffy with some sort of almond crunch edges. (reminded me of the almond pretzels from Anne's Pretzels). I for whatever reason felt it wasn't enough sugar so I also ordered their hot chocolate. Nice and creamy. Not overbearing or flavorless. Just perfect. Oh and the service was great as well. Quick service and never needed to ask for refills.
My husband had the Belgian Waffles with a side of sunny side up eggs and bacon. Short and sweet, " It's good, 5 stars."
Okay I'm finished now and feel fat, excuse me while I go work it off. OYE!!!
REVIEWS Molly e. 3/7/2014 ***** Los Angeles, CA
Great healthy, vegan options. Mung beans and rice is so awesome. They are really good about substituting too. My new favorite place.
REVIEWS Beth V. 1/17/2014 ***** Los Angeles, CA
Jinky's is my favorite brunch in LA. ALWAYS worth braving the 3rd Street Promenade mess on the weekends. You can almost always find parking in one of the garages on 2nd street, even on a busy day. As for the restaurant, there may be a slight wait, but it's never been outrageous for me. Just remember, they won't sit incomplete parties!
I love Jinky's Favorite omelet, and ANY of the Mexican breakfast items (breakfast quesadila!). Their breakfast potatoes are always awesome, and I love their chilis (you can ask for a sample too). I've also thoroughly enjoyed all of the lunch items I have tried. Basically, I would eat here every day if I could. Definitely try it!
REVIEWS Shuchi M. 1/1/2014 ***** Fremont, CA
This place was walking distance from our hotel, we enjoyed breakfast here 2 days. Great for kids, lots of choices for Breakfast Brunch, quick fast service and good food. Skip the muffins.

Girls, this episode is creepier than ever. A Halloween party on a ghost train? Yes, please! Read on for a peek at why you should check out this very special episode when it airs on ABC Family this Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
New "A" Info
While the episode does involve a lot of partying, there are some serious moments. Garrett, the former cop who has a history with the Liars, begins to confess quite a few things to Spencer. Toby interrupts the conversation on the first try, but Garrett is finally able to reveal privately to Spencer details about Alison's last hours before dying.
Fresh Suspect
Yay, even more "A" info! In this special Halloween episode, we will also be given a glimpse at a new potential suspect for Allison's murder. Could that mean another member of the "A" team as well? Who knows about this suspect, and who is unfortunately unaware?
"Cuckoo" for Glambert
We're super duper excited about this one….Adam Lambert is guest starring! And not only does he perform two songs, including the dance anthem "Cuckoo," but he has a bit of an acting debut as well. At one point, the ever-glamorous star chats up Aria before a spooky character steps in.
R.I.P. Liars
OMG, we are dying. Well, not literally, but someone major in the cast of Pretty Little Liars will be dying…in this episode! We can't say who, as you know, because that would be no fun at all, but it very well may shock you. And remember, it's one of the bigger characters on the show (how tragic)!

The main reason bloggers don't make money is because traffic isn't high enough. Here are several ways not only to increase blog traffic, but to address the other reasons your bog isn't making money.
How to Start a Blog that People Will Read by Mike Omar describes how to create a website, write about a topic you love, develop a loyal readership, and make six figures doing it. There's no way one article on the reasons your blog isn't making money will solve your problems! You need to do research and keep blogging.
Remember that you can make money blogging even if you only have a few hundred readers a day, depending on where your ads are and what they look like. And, how bold you are as a blogger.
"If you decide to generate income from your blog, then don't be shy about it," says Steve Pavlina, self-help guru and blogger. "If you're going to put up ads, then really put up ads. Don't just stick a puny little ad square in a remote corner somewhere."
Despite being a personal development guru who motivates millions of people every year, Pavlina isn't all optimism and positivity! He says 99% of people who try to generate serious income from their blogs will fail.
This may be because there are no barriers to blogging – anyone can start a blog within a few minutes. The lowest, least respectable bloggers steal other bloggers' content. Actually earning money from your blog requires time, perseverance, consistency, and a healthy dose of "web savvy."
Here's a tip from the Google gurus: "Do the ads draw your attention, without being garish? If you were a reader, would you notice and read them, or do your eyes glide right past them? Try to find a balance between ads that overwhelm your content and ads that your users won't even see." ~ from the Google Adsense blog.
If you're not sure about your ads, ask your friends and family to give you their opinion. Encourage them to be as honest as possible – and don't get mad when they are!
6 Reasons Your Blog Doesn't Make Money
The design of your blog doesn't match your monetization strategy
How have you decided to monetize your blog? If you're like me, you have multiple sources of income (eg, Google Adsense, Amazon links, affiliate programs, private ad sales) – but you may also have a main source of income.
Make sure your blog theme and design supports your main source of income or monetization strategy.
If, for instance, you want to earn money from reader donations, put your donation button front and center. If you want to earn money by creating a huge email list, then put that email submission form right under readers' noses. If you want to earn money by highlighting Amazon or eBay products, then work the most effective ads into your blog posts and sidebars. Again, look at how successful bloggers monetize their sites – and what type of themes they have – and apply those strategies to your blog.
Your post titles aren't optimized properly
If your post titles and content are too clever and original, you won't attract search engine traffic. This isn't just about SEO – it's about attracting the right readers to your articles.
"You may need to balance the needs of yourself, your visitors, search engines, those who link to you, social bookmarking sites, advertisers, affiliate programs, and others," says Pavlina. "Seemingly minor decisions like what to title a web page are significant. In coming up with the title of this article, I have to take all of these potential viewers into consideration. I want a title that is attractive to human visitors, drives reasonable search engine traffic, yields relevant contextual ads, fits the theme of the site, and encourages linking and social bookmarking. And most importantly I want each article to provide genuine value to my visitors."
If you struggle with titles, read How to Write Effective Titles for Magazine Articles and Blog Posts.
You haven't found the right SEO balance
Attracting organic search engine optimization (SEO) traffic that results in clicky clicky is one of the best ways to make money blogging. SEO traffic doesn't rely on your Tweets or community interaction – so if you take a vacation, your blog should keep chugging along (though it eventually needs maintenance or it will run out of gas).
If you want to build long-term income from your blog, don't rely on social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. Give your blog legs by posting strong content that people find and spread around.
You're not internet savvy
The more tricks and tips you learn about web writing and the online trade, the more money you'll make.
Here's a list of the basic, most foundational bloggy things you need to know about:
- blog publishing software
- blog comments (and comment spam)
- RSS/syndication
- full versus partial feeds
- feed aggregators
- pings and trackbacks
- blog carnivals
- search engines
- search engine optimization (SEO)
- page rank
- social bookmarking
- tagging (and how and why it doesn't matter to SEO)
- contextual advertising
- affiliate programs
- traffic statistics
- email marketing
It takes months (years!) to learn all of this…and some it won't make much difference to making money blogging.
One of the most important blogging tips I know is to stay in touch with Google's blog, videos, and webmaster program. When I first started making money, I read tons of tips from other bloggers…and ignored Google. But, Google shares a goldmine of good, solid information! Stay connected with Google, my friends.
Your advertising doesn't match your posts (a main reason blogs don't make money)
If your ads don't match your content, you won't make money. For example, when I put mortgage and debt freedom ads on my articles about saving marriages, I get no clicky clicky. Make sure your article and advertisements are as closely related as possible.
This is easier for niche blogs. A wedding blog, for instance, is the perfect place to advertise the gazillion wedding products and services that merchants sell! If your blog is general and thus difficult to monetize (like my Quips and Tips for Achieving Your Goals), remember how effective cross-marketing can be. For example, if you have a "cooking with garlic" blog, you can advertise breath fresheners and body deodorants in addition to garlic presses, garlic books, and garlic bulbs. Cross-marketing.
By the way, that's the beauty of contextual advertising, such as Google Adsense: it automatically matches the ads to your content and your readers' search terms (though admittedly, the ads aren't always perfectly matched with content, as you may have noticed!).
You picked the wrong type of blog or the wrong type of reader
There are certain blogs – such as entertainment, celebrity, recipes, and news – that just don't make money.
David Risley, creator of Confessions of a Six Figure Blogger, says, "Entertainment blogs are tricky to monetize because the audience is just there for fun. As a collective audience, they have no common problems, goals or frustrations. Plus, people expect online entertainment to be free."
If you're not helping your reader solve problems, achieve goals, or avoid pain, then you might have trouble making money blogging. Your blog niche is important – and so is finding the balance between a topic you love and a topic that attracts readers.
Also, if your niche is soaked with bloggers (like, for instance, the "writers sharing their journey" niche), you might have a lot of competition. This competition can make it more difficult to float to the top – but not impossible, so don't let fear or doubt slay you.

Are you making as much money blogging as you thought you would? Don't be surprised if you're not. It takes time, patience, and perseverance to learn the reasons your blog doesn't make money, and how to solve your issues!
13 Responses to "6 Reasons Your Blog Doesn't Make Money"
Making money blogging is a business, and it takes the time, effort, and commitment that all entrepreneurs have to put into making their businesses successful! It's a full-time job…and I have a love/hate relationship with my blog. Mostly love, though.
Well I pretty much hit all 6.
The main reason a blog doesn't make is a mismatch between readers and monetization methods assuming that blog receives a substantial traffic. I recommend installing google analytics to figure out visitor behaviour and come up with a strategy to find advertisers that your readers are likely to be interested in.
Lol "If you're not getting any clicky clicky"
That's funny.
There are lots of ways to monetize your blog. My perspective? I think using a blog to build a list is the best approach.
Not having the proper search engine optimization skills is the most important reason people don't make money blogging.
Or, the 7th reason: you're not interested in making money from your blog!
The longer I blog, the more I realize just how difficult it is to make money! Every year, I wonder if this year will be my last because I'm just not pulling in the dough, but I seem to be able to pull it off. It's not complicated; it just requires consistent, persistent effort and energy. And thought!
"You can make big bucks even if you only have a few hundred readers a day" – And if I have ten or twenty readers a day?? XD
No I'm joking, but you explained really good things…
Everyone that wants to manage a blog have to know these raisons, but is always good to remind them.
I red your post really interested because I'm italian (maybe you could understand it for my not perfect comment) and, in my state, nobody speaks clear about this!
I hope to improove my website and use your suggestion to earn, at least, the money that I spend for the hosting… =) -
Hi Debra,
I used to run a blog called Quips and Tips for Spiritual Seekers, and it didn't make much money either. I don't know if it's because spiritual or Christian readers are less likely to click on advertisements? Or, perhaps they don't feel the need to buy materialistic stuff to be happier, happier, or more fulfilled…which is probably a good thing! Their needs are being filled by God.
However, I do know that the number one way to make money blogging is TRAFFIC. And targeted ads – that's the second key. My Love and Relationships blog is financially successful because readers are willing to buy pretty much anything to improve their love lives! Or get their exes back.
So…I think your blog looks good, but you need to find ways to increase traffic. What are your readers looking for – what do they need? Find a way to give that to them.
How do you promote your blog? And, who is your target audience? That's a good place to start
Laurie -
Honestly, i have my few blog and one hosted web, i also put ad on it, sadly, until now no money but wasting my time. I almost surrender, what should i do?i read so many guide but no one show the exact way, only advise do this and don't do this.
Hi Laurie,
Thanks for your tips. I have a Christian Devotional blog that continues to grow, but you're right — it's not making any money. I've tried AdSense and quit because of the types of ads that would come through — plus no one ever gave me a clicky clicky! Now, I've switched to Amazon, created my own Amazon Christian "store," added Amazon slideshows and widgets with related products – and still nothing.
I have learned some about ad placement– but still nothing.
Any advice? Take a trip over to my blog and let me know what you think. Here's a post where I've got ads: http://www.mychristiandevotionalblog.com/waiting-on-god.html -
I really like the way you've presented your blog; it's great! I'm still (and forever, it seems) working on getting my own blog in better shape and adding new content. Thanks for the inspiration and for all the cool and informative articles you send our way.
Rick Myers -
This is a great article, my blog isn't making any money and I didn't know how to fix it! Thanks for sharing with us, I'll try your tips.

Hi All been a while!! I went out this morning and found a bit of spring on the drive! Its off the rear off side spring just the last small part! Where is the best place to get 2 x standard springs from?? I don't want to lower it etc I'm guessing its quite a simple job with compressors....................
Yea saw them earlier, To be honest if you look close they look knackered aswell! I'll only fit new ones its not worth it.
I had one snap on me but didnt notice till the mot. I also didnt want to lower the car so tried to get one from a motorfactors but couldnt. I ended up getting them from audi for about £60 each. Mine is an 01 y plate facelift amk and the part number was 1j0 511 115 cr. Not sure if it will be same for yours. The springs had some purplish paint marks on them IIRC.
I have one of the std ones after swapping my suspension, one of mine had also got a snapped coil. Your welcome to it if your near huddersfield anytime. done 50k but might put you on a while
you dont need compressors for the rear springs, the broken one will fly out and the new one is just a tighter fit.
