There are a few nice pieces here and there, but generally the store feels about as appealing as the Junior Miss floor in a department store in Omaha. Help yourself. More >>

a close-fought final between Rosemary Saunders Robertson and Alastair Burn-Murdoch which was narrowly won +1 on time by Alastair.
Congratulations to Elizabeth and Alastair and to everyone who played in what was a higher standard of competition
than usual this year.

Adam Trophy (Handicap 18 and over)
Unfortunately the Adam Trophy competition had to be portponed
from 4th October to 5th October because of the weather. So 3 people entered instead of the original 5. But
this shows an encouraging growth in the nember of new players in the club. The trophy was won by David Fell (pictured below).

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists his team is capable of winning the Champions League this season.
Ferguson believes if they topple the Spaniards, they can go all the way to Euro glory.
He said: "This is the acid test, no doubt about that, and we have to get through to win this competition.
"This is so important to both clubs, we cannot think of failing."
Asked if his United team can emulate those of 1968, 1999 and 2008 and lift the European Cup, Ferguson added: "Yeah, I think so.
"They have a great spirit about them.
"People say this one is not as good as the teams of the past but sometimes you can have foggy recollections of teams from the past — I do myself.
"But this team doesn't know when it is beaten, which is a good asset, and it has some quality players, too."

Before I get too deep into it, I want to introduce myself. My name is Russell Brunson. I'm from Sandy Utah, but moved to Boise, Idaho a few years ago on a wrestling scholarship. On the following page you will see a picture of me the day before I left to college. And yes… that is my collection of junk mail. 4 While I know that's a little weird, I guarantee that there is someone else reading this report right now who also collected junk mail. Me with a pile of "junk mail." Summer of 98 While I know that's a little weird, I guarantee there is someone else read- ing this report right now who also col- lected junk mail. I've got to admit, I'm an advertising junkie. I love ads. When I read magazines, I go straight to the back and read the ads. I don't mind getting spam, I hate when people change the channel on the radio or TV when a commercial comes on. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I love ad- 5 vertising, and LOVE being marketed to. If I don't like an ad campaign for a company, my wife has learned that we "ban" that company until they get commercials that we like. Anyways, to cut to the chase, I'm obsessed with all this stuff and LOVE to talk about it. I got started online a few years ago, and instantly fell in love with internet marketing. On January 1, 2005 I set a goal. I was graduating from college that year, and wanted to make a big splash fast! Some of you may remember because I did a whole prod- uct just so I could "call my shot." I wanted to make $2,739.73 a day for a whole year. That was my goal. Why was that number so important to me? Well, be- cause when you take $2,739.73 X 365 days, you get the magical number "$1 Million!!!" That was my goal, and I started to bust my butt to hit it. What I found out really quickly was that while it is possible to hit the million dollar mark in just 12 months using only the internet – it was VERY hard. During this 12 month journey, I tried almost everything that I could think of, yet when I got my end of year tax report back, I 6 found that I had fallen short. Not much (within a few thousand dollars), but I hadn't quite made it. That same year my wife and I went on a cruise to celebrate my college graduation and also the news that we were about to have twin boys! About a week before we set sail, I heard a rumor about a very controversial marketing book. My wife and I on our cruise where I spent the whole time reading and re- reading a very con- trover- sial mar- keting book. 7 I figured it would be great reading on the plane so I ordered it and made sure it would be shipped to me be- fore I left. I got it the day we were flying out, and put it into my backpack. We had a four hour flight, so while my wife watched "Madagascar" on the plane, I started to read the book. After reading just the introduction I saw exactly what the hype and controversy was about. Four hours later I was annoyed that we had to get off the plane because I wasn't finished reading the book. Over the next 7 days of our cruise I read and re-read the book. You see, the book was written by a 28 year old guy who made over $100 million dollars (yes ONE HUN- DRED MILLION) in 23 months marketing a product that sold for just $60. I was so excited that when I got home, I called the au- thor on the phone. His name is Vince James, and I had to find out if he was legit. After about 15 minutes on the phone, I knew this guy was the real thing. He told me about the night that he typed out the four page sales letter that would eventually make him almost 8 $8 million a MONTH!!! He then told me about all the ways he generated leads, his back-ends, continuity pro- grams and more… I was blown away and actually hired him to do a three hour consultation for me, (which luckily turned into over six hours) where he showed me how a guy with an online business like mine should be using basic offline tech- niques to take their business from a million dollar a year to a million dollars a MONTH!!! Ever since that consultation, I've been implementing lots of different offline strategies into my online business, and have been amazed to see that we've more than tri- pled our income each year since, and actually spent less time and effort than when we were marketing 100 per- cent online. So, what is the IM-Myth you might be ask- ing? The myth is that internet marketing is a business. The internet is not a business. The internet is a type of media (just like radio or TV) that can be used to generate leads VERY quickly for your business. If you realize that, and look at it like that, then you can use it as a tool to make tens or even hundreds of mil- lions of dollars a year in your business. If you focus on it 9 as a business, I promise you that you'll never reach the levels that you should have. During my interview with the "$100 Million Dollar" man, he told me something very profound. He said, "You know Russell, the internet is very cool, but I feel like I'm in a Ferrari on a dead end road. You can make a bunch of money really fast, but if that's all you're using, you really can't go past that tiny road." He then went on to show me exactly HOW to get the power of that Ferrari, but on a road that doesn't end. I hope that this report will help show you HOW. ☺ 10 2 Seven Steps to In- stantly IM-Proof Your Busi- ness When I decided to write this report, I really wanted to do it as a warning to my clients, customers and friends. I've seen a few too many people have all their eggs in the IM basket, and when things shift or change, they lose everything. That is why it's very necessary to "IM-Proof" your business, meaning that you find ways to supplement off- line tactics that will not only make your business more 11 stable, but make you 10 times the money while doing almost the same amount of work. Here are the seven steps: • Step 1: Qualify your buyers • Step 2: Customer financed offline tactics • Step 3: Offline automated follow-up systems • Step 4: One-to-many lead generation • Step 5: Offline lead generation • Step 6: The truth about PR, and why it doesn't work very well online • Step 7: Ninja tactics to make you stand out At the end of this report I will also show you our ven- dor list for the people who do all of this cool stuff for us at very small costs. Step 1: Qualify Your Buyers One of the biggest half truths that is consistently taught in internet marketing is, "the money is in the list." The actual truth is that the money is in the buyers on your list. It's a small difference, but it's VERY important. 12 When all is said and done, it really doesn't matter HOW big your list is, it matters how many buyers are on that list. If you start watching the mentality of the buyers on your list, and really watch what they do closely, and how they react, you'll notice some interesting patterns. For example, someone who is a buyer will not just buy once. They usually buy often (and some people buy every time you offer something). I watch each day as the buyer lists come in that I'll see the same people's names on the lists every few days. I also know this because I am a buyer. If you ever have a chance to come to my offices you'll see literally over $200,000 worth of books, courses, tapes and more in my library. I am a rabid buyer who will buy as much infor- mation as humanly possible on the subjects that I am passionate about. I am the type of person that you want on your list. Your goal with your marketing should be to identify the buyers on your list as quickly as possible. Just think, if you knew the people on your list who were most likely to buy, and you knew that they'd probably buy over and 13 over again, wouldn't you spend a little more time and money marketing to them? So the key with this is that as soon as someone joins your list, you want to qualify them as a buyer, or a browser… Let me show you what I mean… We have multiple lead generation websites with one goal. That goal is to get our visitors name and e-mail ad- dress. I'm sure you've heard a million times about "squeeze pages," and that is exactly what I'm talking about. The goal of this squeeze page is to take all of my traf- fic, and to qualify that traffic into those who are willing to give me their name and e-mail address in exchange for more information. Pretty basic, right? Out of 100 visitors who come to my squeeze pages, on average about 35to 50 percent of them are willing to give me their name and their email address for more information. Now that much we are taught over and over in inter- net marketing. Yet the next (and more important) step almost everyone leaves out. The next IMMEDIATE goal is to qualify your buyers to find out who of those 35 14 to 50 percent are the ones who are willing and able to take out their credit card for more information. I'm not going to try to qualify them with a huge pur- chase, a very small one, usually something where I charge $1 (or free) plus shipping and handling. By doing this, instantly I am finding out who the buy- ers are on my list. Who are the people who are willing to pull a credit card out of their wallet for more informa- tion? Again I do this by getting them to make a small purchase. After they make that purchase, something very excit- ing happens. 1. They give me their credit card information. 2. They give me their shipping address. 3. They give me their phone number. Now I have found out who the top buyers on my list are. They have raised their hand and told me that they are a buyer, and because I know the mentality of buyers, I'm willing to market to this list a lot more aggressively than 15 I would just an email list. Aggressively meaning I'll pick up the phone to sell something to them, I'll send them something in the mail or both. This is KEY… you need to qualify the buyer on your list immediately. You will see why this is so powerful in the upcoming steps. Let me show you an example of how we do this: Step 2: Customer Financed Offline Tactics 16 Now that you know who the buyers are on your list, there are some ways that you can actually get them to finance your offline marketing to them! I wanted to talk about these now, because the BIG- GEST complaint every time I mention the fact that you should be marketing offline to your customers to an internet marketing crowd is that they can't afford to do it. So, let me show you a few examples. Free CD, DVD or Report Technique I wanted to test out some direct mail, but didn't want to lose a ton of money if I screwed it up too much, so I decided to see if I could get my buyers to help me fi- nance it. 17 So I offered a front-end DVD that had some very unique content on it. I didn't charge anything for it, ex- cept $7.95 to cover printing, shipping and handling. Be- fore we mailed this out, we took about $.13 from that $7.95, and printed a four page sales letter that we in- cluded with the DVD. Can you guess what hap- pened….? 1. Because this letter ONLY went to buyers, and it didn't cost me ANYTHING to send out. 18 2. We made (and continue to make) tens of thou- sands of dollars from this letter, and our custom- ers financed the whole thing. In fact, the whole goal of this letter is to get people to inbound call our call center. We are averaging over $500 from every person who responds to this letter! Even if this was a complete flop, and not a single per- son bought, it really didn't matter, because it didn't take any money out of my pocket to test out! I've seen this done in other markets with a "secret" re- port, cd's, dvd's or anything else that had to be shipped. This way you can start testing out some direct mail with- out spending any money. Here's one unique thing we included in one of our mailings that ended up bringing in 10 19 more people to our $5,500 workshop. Yes, we brought in an extra 55k, and it didn't cost me a dime to do it. (Yes, they even paid for that $1 we hooked to the insert). Print continuity program The next, even more powerful thing to do is to get your top buyers onto a monthly continuity pro- gram where they are ex- pecting to get something in the mail from you every month. You can do this with a "CD of the month" club, "DVD of the month" or even a print newsletter. I'm sure many of you have seen our print journal and DVD of the 20 month. This goes out every month to our top buyers. These are people who are willing to spend $49.97 every month to get a DVD and a 44 page manual from us. Because of that, we also include special offers to these buyers each month that we don't make available to oth- ers. But again, all of these offers are financed by our buy- ers because they are paying the production, shipping and other costs associated. And they are willing to do it be- cause of the high quality of the content they receive each month. It's just like T.V. I'm willing to sit through 15 minutes of commercials every 30 minutes because the quality of the show I'm watching makes it worth it. ☺ Just think, the mail man is hand delivering my sales message to my top clients every month, and they are pay- ing to hear from me. That is the type of situation you want to get in with your top buyers. 21 Example of an offer we included with one issue. Lindsey shipping out one month's worth of the maga- zine… 22 Brent and Kevin helping with the second load… You can see how many people are anxiously waiting their journal and DVD 23 Don't worry, after we hit 1,000 members, I didn't make my team ship them anymore – we moved to a ship- ping house which makes it a LOT easier on all of us. ☺ 24 Call centers Behind the scenes at our in-house call centers I know when I mention call centers some of you are going to roll your eyes because of how much you hate the idea of getting called by some unsolicited caller. I used to be the same way, until we decided to try one out. We put together an offer that was so good, you'd have to be crazy to say no, and we had a few guys in our 25 office start calling our buyers to see if any of them would be interested in it. Behind the scenes at our in-house call centers We didn't do any real hard selling, just making a great offer to our top customers. Within a week we had sold out all 10 slots at $5,500 each! I was so excited that we decided to build out a full call center. The best thing about our call center, is that I don't pay these guys ANYTHING to call my buyers! That's right; it's completely free, until that customer buys something. 26 At that point, they get a percentage of the sale, but I don't pay them ANYTHING unless they make the sale. So again, the customer is financing this offline tech- nique. "But Russell, I don't want to start a call center…" I don't blame you. It's a lot of work, and you have to manage, train and motivate callers. So, if this sounds like you, then I've got great news. You can outsource your buyer leads to a call center for free, and they'll do all that work for you. For example, earlier this year I did a real estate project, and generated about 800 buyer leads. I didn't want to set up a real estate call center, or provide any real estate coaching, but I had these leads. So I found a good call center and teamed up with them. I gave them my leads, and they did the calls, sales and training for me, and cut me a check each week in ex- change. ☺ We sold well over $100,000 worth of coaching and I didn't do anything except email them an excel sheet with my buyers' phone numbers on them. 27 If you are currently generating buyer leads, and want to plug a call center into your backend, then I can help. Our call center is currently accepting a few more ac- counts for internet marketing, real estate, or any other type of wealth building leads. If you are generating at least 100 new buyer leads a week then you can have my team call, close and coach them for you. If you are interested in working with our call center, or one of our partner call centers, please submit a support ticket to www.customerhelpdesk.org asking for someone from my offices to contact you about becoming a lead provider for our call center. In the subject line of your email write: "Call center services" and in the body of your email include: Your Name: Personal Email: Phone Number: Number of buyer leads you can generate each month: The niche your customers are in (real estate, internet marketing, etc...): 28 Keep working the buyers After you've generated the buyer lists, don't just stop there. Continue to market and sell to them offline. Let me show you an example of just how powerful this is. During my first direct mail campaign to my custom- ers, I wanted to do something that stuck out. So I went on eBay and found some clear envelopes. I then wrote a four page sales letter for a product I was promoting as an affiliate. I then exported our customer list and printed out a bunch of labels. I thought it would take two or three hours to get these all shipped out. Because of how hard it was to put paper into the invisible envelopes, and because our stamps wouldn't stick very well, it turned into a seven day nightmare. Let me show you our work: 29 3500 invisible letters… 30 Postage rates changed while we were doing it, so we had to go back through and add on $.01 stamps to every one… But we made $22 in profits for each of these things we shipped out!!! Now I hope that doesn't scare you away from using direct mail. While it was a pain in the butt, we made $22 for every envelope that we stuck into the mail. Was it worth it….? Heck ya it was. Now that I've learned a few things about direct mail, it's actually almost easier to do it than it is to send an email. Let me show you the steps I take now: Step 1: Write the sales message in Microsoft Word. Step 2: Mail merge the person's first name into the document. Step 3: Get a CSV file of my entire customer database Step 4: E-mail both files to City Blue Printing. That's how easy it really is (You can find out City Blue's contact information in the resource section at the end of this report). 31 Step 3: Offline Automated Follow- Up Systems As internet marketers, we all know that the fortune is in the follow-up. We spend days getting our autorespon- der sequences set up right, we spend hours tweaking copy and doing everything we can because we know that most of our money is made when we follow up with our subscribers. Yet for some reason, when it comes to following up with our actual CUSTOMERS who have given us money, even the few guys who are doing it, usually stop after one letter, or one phone call. I think the biggest reason is that it's very hard to automate offline marketing. We did start using one sys- tem that is very powerful to automate our offline follow- ups. I'll tell you their name in a minute, but let me ex- plain how it works first. What happens is, after someone becomes a buyer, my assistant logs into a special website, and adds their con- tact information into our database. That system then sends them a physical postcard immediately thanking 32 them for their order, and offering them a discount on another one of our products. Then a few days later, the system AUTOMATI- CALLY sends another card telling them about how to become an affiliate, then a few days later another one up- selling other products. It works just like an e-mail autoresponder, but with postcards and greeting cards. You are able to upload your own picture, add your own signatures, personalize the cards with your buyer's name, AND even have the cards written in your OWN handwriting. It's a VERY powerful system that we started using in our company about a year ago. Here are just a few of the things we've seen since using it: 33 • Increase in customer referrals (building our af- filiate program). • More backend sales. • Reduced Refund rates. • Higher levels of customer satisfaction. • Money saved on direct mail. • And much more... It costs about $1 to send out each card, and again, I let the buyer finance it. If they spent $7.95 on a front end product, then I'll spent $5 from that to contact them through mail with cards. To find out more information about using this service, please visit www.PostcardAutoresponder.com The key here again is to try to automate your offline marketing to make it more like internet marketing by using automated follow up systems. You can see some example of some postcards we sent out on the following page: 34 Some cards we sent using this powerful system They were written in my own handwriting, and person- alized with our customers' NAMES!!! 35 Step 4: One-to-Many Lead Genera- tion I remember one day I woke up and had an epiphany. What if I used all of these cool offline tactics I was learn- ing, not just to generate new customers, but to generate a LOT of new customers FAST! Let me show you how most people use direct mail: They send out a letter to a lot of people, and get a per- centage of those people to send them back money. The goal is to spend $1 to earn $2 back in return. If you can 36 get those types of ROI, then you just ramp it up as quick as possible. But my epiphany came when I realized this: If I used direct mail to recruit affiliates, then each af- filiate I signed up, would be equal to a LOT of sales (not just one if I were using it to find buyers). So we started sending mail, postcards, packages ANYTHING and everything we could to potential joint venture partners. I didn't have to send out as many packages, but let's say I sent out 100, and I get 10 people from that to say YES and help me promote my project, it could equal hundreds of thousands of dollars! 37 So the key to this step is to focus on one-to-many off- line lead generation. Focus on the people who can bring you a much higher return than you can with a customer. It will cost you less, and you'll acquire a lot more buy- ers. Let me show you a few cool mail pieces we've sent out, and that we've had others send us. This was attached to a huge box we received with info about the sender's new product they were selling. 38 Jeff sent this postcard out to hundreds of potential affiliates to help him with his launch. A postcard I sent out with Postcard Autoresponder to a few hundred affiliates to get them to help with our launch! 39 Brochure we send out to our newbie affiliates to help teach them how to promote. 40 Step 5: Offline Lead Generation This is where it starts to get a little more expensive, but if you've been working the other methods we've al- ready talked about, then you'll be able to afford this type of lead generation. When Vince talked about the Ferrari on a dead end road, I asked him where I could find a long, never- ending road. ☺ This is what he showed me… There are five big players when it comes to offline lead generation: 1. Magazines 2. Direct Mail 3. Newspapers 4. Radio 5. T.V. In our company we have been testing small in all of these types of offline lead generation. Some are working better than others, but the key with offline lead genera- 41 tion is to test small, until you can get it to convert well, then you can do a mass roll out. While in this report we don't have time to cover eve- rything that we're doing, I did want to show you a few samples of stuff that's working. Magazines to generate leads: There are a few ways that you can use magazines, one that we've seen others do very successfully that we are working on modeling is driving people from magazines to your online offer. Look how a few other guys are do- ing it now: 42 This is Joe Polish's ad running in Entrepreneur maga- zine – he's trying to qualify the buyers from this magazine by sending them to his website. 43 Another ad found in this month's issue of Millionaire Blueprint following the same model. 44 Direct Mail Direct mail is one of my favorite media for generating new leads because you can actually BUY a list of buyers! Yes, if you buy the right lists, everyone you are sending something to has bought something similar in the past!!! The keys here are simple. Step 1: Take your existing online buyer list, and run data tests to find out your customer profiles. This will tell you who your best customers are, where they live, etc… (you can get this done at www.melissadata.com). Step 2: Call a list broker and tell them you want to rent a BUYER list of people who have bought a prod- uct similar to yours in the last year. Start small (usually the minimum order is 5,000). Step 3: Use a company like Melissa data to scrub the list you just rented with your customer profile list so that you are only sending mail out to those people who are MOST likely to buy. You can also run this 45 list against the NCOA (National Change Of Address) to make sure the customers still live there – otherwise you're going to get back huge stacks of undelivered mail. Step 4: Follow the steps I laid out earlier for sending a physical letter to that list: • Write the sales message in Microsoft Word. • Mail merge the person's first name into the document. • Get a CSV file of my entire customer database • E-mail both files to City Blue Printing. Step 5: Check your ROI, and see if you broke even on the front end. Implement continuity programs and other backend programs to make your profits. Step 6: If you do make a profit, rent a larger segment of that same list or other similar lists and repeat. 46 Step #7 – After you find an offer that converts and at least breaks even on the front end, slow start your ramp up process and add more and more lists. Be sure to monitor them closely so you make sure each mail- ing is still profitable for you. Notice my target customers are in segments 18 and 32. Kids and Cul-de-Sacs and New Homesteaders. 47 Step 6: The Truth About PR and Why It Doesn't Work Very Well Online… It seems like the big buzz word on the street lately has been the power of online PR. Now, I don't want to say it doesn't work, but it works differently than offline PR. Our online press releases have given us thousands of back links which fit into our SEO strategy, and they have helped us set up a few good deals behind the scenes. BUT… As far as buyer lead generation, it didn't even touch what one article in one magazine did for our company. Last March, I was featured on the cover of Millionaire Blueprints magazine and on the newsstands around the world. It brought in diverse buyers from around the world that I would have NEVER had access to in the past. This really got the wheels in my head spinning. I'm also obsessed with Donny Deutsch's TV show "The Big Idea" where he interviews millionaires and finds out how they got to the top. 48 Me in the March issue of Millionaire Blueprint Maga- zine What I've found VERY interesting is that almost eve- ryone he asks that question to always gives one of two reasons… Either they were found at a trade show, or they got some free offline PR. 49 They got on a T.V. show, they got into magazines, they were on the radio AND it didn't cost them a penny! Offline PR is probably the most overlooked way to gen- erated leads in the IM world. We just hired a PR expert (for a LOT less than you'd think) to run our PR campaigns for us. She's already set up speaking engagements around the country, and work- ing now to get me some local media in each of those cit- ies. Here are pictures of a few of the shows they have got- ten me onto so far: 50 After I've been on local T.V. stations in those cities, we then take those media reels from the local news sta- tions, and take them to the bigger national media shows like The Big Idea, Today Show, Oprah and others. I used to wonder how people got on those shows, and I've found it usually isn't by accident. They follow simple rules to get there. I highly recommend finding a PR company with ex- perience to help you set up a PR campaign to brand your business and help you to generate more leads. Step 7: Ninja Tactics to Make You Stick Out The key to all this offline stuff, is that you want to stick out like a sore thumb. Because people throw away junk mail. You've got to do things to make them keep the letter, open it, read it, and act on what's inside. Let me show you a few cool ninja tactics we've been testing out and others we've seen people testing out on me. ☺ 51 Almost hand written letters: A "handwritten" letter we sent out to a small section of our buyers to upsell a similar product. 52 A cool example of someone doing a very similar thing Another very cool example… 53 Another cool one ☺ If these came to you in the mail, would you read them? I'll show you the companies that can do stuff like this at the end of this report. Things That Make You Go HMMMMM…. If this showed up at your door, would you open it? 54 Hand delivered by the FedEx guy 55 Another very cool idea that is guaranteed to get you to open… 56 Put your sales message on a menu (you can even add a "coffee stain") 57 Gold envelop really sticks out 58 No one throws away X-Rays from the doctors! 59 The Infamous Tear Sheet.. This is one we did internally that was a HUGE suc- cess, and I've had literally hundreds of people ask me how we did it. Let me show it to you. It looks like it was ripped out of a newspaper, and it has a hand written note from this person's friend named "J." The address was also hand written with no return address. 60 Want to know how we did it…? We found a company that printed these awesome "tear sheets" that can look like they were torn out of a newspaper or a maga- zine. (Their name is on the resource list). They also have over 700 people who will hand write post-it notes and address envelopes for you!!! For our initial run we sent out 5,000 copies of this, and with the printing, postage, handwritten envelopes and sticky notes, it was about $6,300!!! A little over $1 each, and the response rate was through the roof!!! 61 3 The 12 Month Inter- net Millionaire (Re- sults) My curiosity with integrating offline marketing into my online business really started out about two years ago when I got a copy of Vince James' book, "The 12 Month Millionaire." When I first read the book, I loved the concept of us- ing offline techniques for my online business, but really struggled to see HOW I could apply it to my business. After I read the book, I hired Vince to consult me on this exact problem. How could someone like me with an 62 online business use his offline techniques to build their customers and get more repeat buyers? I just showed you a few samples of what we've been doing during the past two years, but I really wanted to show you some of the fruits of what adding this type of marketing has done for us. 1. My company has grown from a three man opera- tion in the basement of my duplex to 40 full-time employees in my immediate office (and growing fast), plus about a half dozen other full-time workers overseas. 2. We've more than tripled our profits EVERY YEAR since we started adding the offline ele- ments. 3. My customer/buyer list has skyrocketed by over ten times. 4. Attendance of my $5,000 per head workshops (recently raised the price to $11,000) have more than quadrupled in three months and we are now doing them twice as often. 63 5. And my time away from the offices has more then doubled (in fact I just started going to wrestling practices again last week!) 6. And a whole lot more. I've never sold the recordings from my interview with Vince because I wanted to test it all out and make sure it all worked first. As you can see from above, it works very well. Recently I released the six hour recordings from my private consultation and the transcripts for the first time ever at www.12MonthInternetMillionaire.com. 64 4 Our Secret Resource and Vendor List We talked about a lot of cool offline stuff we're doing.

OLYMPIA - Giving farm families the ability to protect their property and livestock from predatory wolves is a right protected by the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, claims Sen. John Smith (R-Colville) as he testified this past Tuesday before the Senate's Natural Resources Committee on legislation he's proposing to control the marauding animals.
A second bill Smith is sponsoring would allow law enforcement officers to kill attacking wolves under certain circumstances.
The two bills would also limit the Department of Fish and Wildlife's ability to intervene in depredation caused by wolves.
Conservation groups disapprove of these measures.
The first, Senate Bill 5187, would allow owners of livestock, their immediate family members and employees to trap (as provided by state law) or kill wolves, among other mammalian predators, in the event that their livestock is being attacked. This would be allowed without a permit from the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Current rules state that a permit is required to kill predators when the latter are attacking a human or one's livestock if that predator is considered to be an endangered species.
Mitch Friedman of Conservation Northwest disagrees with the proposed legislation, saying he would rather support translocation efforts. While he claims he recognizes the threat wolves pose, he blames the reason for the hype about wolves arose from the cattle injuries and deaths this past summer.
"After time, we'll adjust and the wolves will no longer feel so new and upsetting," said Friedman. "Wolves aren't angels or devils; they can respond favorably to management techniques."
According to Dave Ware of the state wildlife agency, the statewide minimum count for resident wolves in the state of Washington is 51. Last year, that count was only 27.
Smith cited the founders' intent for the Second Amendment to the Constitution in defense of his legislation.
"When our founders gave us the right to protect our property with the Second Amendment, I don't think they had in mind that we should hide inside of our houses as predators destroy our property," he said. "We're looking to defend our God-given right to protect our own property and our territory."
An amendment has been proposed that would add pets to the list of animals to protect in the event of a wolf attack.
Last year 12 calves were injured and nine killed by wolves, according to state wildlife officials.
SB 5188, also sponsored by Smith, would allow county law enforcement officers to kill wolves attacking livestock under three conditions: the wolf or wolves had attacked livestock on private property on at least two occasions; the attacks present a pattern that pose an imminent threat to private property or commercial livestock operations; and the Department of Fish and Wildlife has yet to take action to prevent these threats.
Okanogan County Commissioner Sheila Kennedy supports this legislation. "We should have the authority to make those tough decisions when they are before us and they are devastating the people of our county," she said.
Smith stated that the purpose of this bill is to reiterate the rights that counties already have to protect the property and livelihood of residents, and to ask the legislature to acknowledge that duty.
Roger Chapanis of Sammamish expressed concern about the way counties would apply the legislation if it were to pass.
"It seems the intentions are good, but I fear that the fear [of wolves roaming around in the night] will give into a desire to kill anything that moves," he said.
SB 5187 and 5188 have yet to be scheduled for final committee consideration.

A Desire to Dream
(7 votes, average: 2.86 out of 5)
Thanks for your vote!
Voting on this contest has closed. Thanks to all who voted!
Her office is in shades of white and
blue, colors with names like 'eggshell' and 'cream' and
'baby's breath'. I don't know what kind of baby breathes like that
or why they'd name a color after the phenomenon, but I guess it's
supposed to be soothing.
"Lily, how are you feeling?" the doctor asks. She smiles as I
walk in. It's a soothing smile. I wonder if she practices that smile
in a mirror before sessions.
"Fine." I sit down on an armchair of cerulean and beige. "I had
another dream last night."
"A nightmare, you mean."
All my dreams are nightmares. "Yes."
"What happened? Take your time."
I make a show of examining the armrest as my subconscious
sense-memory rises to the surface.
"I'm outside, walking. The sky is a flat gray and I can smell the
ocean. A few more steps and I stop, just short of the edge of a cliff.
It's a drop a hundred feet down to the water, but I'm looking at
the sky. The very end of it, where it dips down into the sea and turns
over the other side. I want to be there."
"In the water?"
"On the other side of the world. Off the face of the earth."
"I see," she says. She nods for me to continue.
"I jump. Then I'm falling, but only for a moment. My wings unfold,
feather tips skimming the surface of breaking waves. With each beat I
gain height until the clouds are closer than the cliff I fell from.
I'm still trying to reach the horizon, but I can get there through
the sky, like Far Away is one place and every path leads there as long
as you don't stop. I can't see the ocean anymore. Everything's gray
and white and colorless wrapped around me, and all the blue is just
shadow under the clouds." It's perfect.
"Then what?"
"Then… it's wrong. I hear it before I feel it, a crack that
shakes my bones down to my spine. Pain claws into my back, like my
wings are being gouged and torn from my skin. But they're still there,
big and clumsy as I fall, and it feels like they're burning. I'm
reaching out but the clouds are steel wool and my hands are bleeding,
the skin on my back is scorching. I'm breaking. I think I'm going to
die, but I don't. I keep falling and falling. It's like a bottomless
pit where you'd starve before you hit the bottom, but this is the sky
and the pain will never end." I meet her eyes.
The doctor's response trips a step in her throat. "Then you wake
"Yes," I lie. "And my back hurt again."
Her lips tighten, but don't speak. She leans forward in her seat and
looks at me as if she's trying to read my soul in my face. I've
been judged like that before.
"You have wings in a lot of your dreams."
"Do you know the story of Icarus?"
"The stupid boy who didn't listen to his father and died because of
"Yes. He flew too close to the sun partly because of foolishness,
but partly because of his desire for freedom. Do you feel like you
lack freedom in your life?"
"I'm as free as I can expect to be."
We talk in that vein for the rest of the session. Before I leave, she
writes me another prescription for painkillers. "For your back,"
she says. They won't help. I've never admitted that the pain isn't
in my back, but outside it. Connected to it. It's the pain of limbs
that are no longer there, a phantom pain that sneers at prescriptions
from well-meaning doctors. I accept it. It's the price of what I
did. I chose this life on the other side, over the edge of the clouds.
I wanted love and choices, things I could never have up there. But
sometimes, sometimes, I'd give anything to be in the air again. I
want to be soaring, everything I know just a pinprick in space,
getting closer to the sun and looking down on the birds I can only
look up to. This world looks better from afar.
I only fly in my dreams now. They all end the same way, in pain and
falling. But for a few sweet moments I'm in the sky again, and I'm
whole again. It doesn't really hurt until I wake up.

Because of the regularity that home windows get dirty, it appears that employing the aid of cleaning services appears is the only accessible option people really consider. However, let's say there have been some methods you could do-it-yourself? That would become more convenient?
When considering deciding on Karcher window vacs it's also advantageous to go searching for not only reviews but additionally different models offered and also that you check around to get selling price reductions. We've covered a lot in this post but it really pays to do your own basic research.
One of our advice is always to invest time in finding out about a variety of Karcher window vac designs because there are a great deal of options in relation to specifications, characteristics and of course price.
The simplest way to achieve this is usually to look into several web sites regarding the best karcher window cleaner and get all the details that you can with regards to the device because these websites will have a great deal of details along with review articles for window vacs. If you take these very simple steps you'll be certain to prevent disappointment and pick the very best Karcher window cleaner for your requirements.
It's an easy and quick method but many importantly it provides, unlike the mess you typically turn to with sponges along with a bottle of spray. The thing you need is a great squeegee having a sharp, rubber edge, to become changed only if it might be rounded or nicked or maybe it might be useless. Mix this having a bucket, a few small towels, a scrubber, you will find a hands dish-washing liquid, along with a set much like that for pros at cleaning services is prepared.
Mix the dish-washing solution with water within the bucket. Dip your scrubber in it after compressing the surplus from it, start to scrub your bit of glass, regardless of the position to make certain that each portion is included such as the edges. Position it properly to direct water or transform it flat and 'squeege' over the window to pay for everything. Whenever you have the edge is becoming dirty or has an excessive amount of extra water, pause and wipe them back in your clean towel before ongoing. Make use of a clean micro-fiber rag to wipe it dry across the base and round the perimeter after finishing to make certain that no suds or streaks are left out.
For divided-lite window, you'll have a sponge along with a small squeegee (or work off a bigger one) to wash and obvious the fine strips perfectly. However, don't overload using the soap and water when you're cleansing the interior particularly if the window includes a wooden frame it can harm the woodwork.. As a substitute means to fix this, you may create a homemade cleaner with ammonia/fresh lemon juiceOrwhite vinegar, rubbing alcohol, along with a dish-washing detergent for safe and effective cleaning the quantity of muck does not matter.
Plus, just in case of persistent stains, you need to wet the glass, clean having a nonabrasive cleaner or mineral spirits utilizing a clean, wet cloth. Rinse to get rid of the residue. For that loose debris that's stuck inside your window track, make use of an old toothbrush to wash it clean with soap and water before wiping it having a moist towel. Repeat until necessary after which wipe it having a dry towel.
The very best day to get it done is really a cloudy day to ensure that you'll be able to polish the glass correctly. It removes the small scratches. Other suggests note are that you ought to be utilising mitts when cleaning and when your squeegee, washer, or scraper is not able to achieve high home windows, you could attach these to telescopic rods. For those who have a frosted or else decorated glass, fix it using the supplier's suggested cleansers and steer clear of while using scrapers or razor rotor blades regarding this.

Studying abroad was never something I planned on doing. I knew such a thing existed, but to me it existed in a realm of things I didn't perceive as meant for me. I was a first generation college student and even attending college didn't seem like something someone like me would do; it was for other kids. I nearly dropped out several times. After two years of near-daily encouragement from my favorite professor, I finally began to consider study abroad as something meant for me, too.
Recently over 3,000 people gathered to roam the cyber halls of the inaugural Virtual Study Abroad Fair hosted by the U.S. Department of State, College Week Live, and the Institute of International Education. This online event got me thinking about whether or not technology actually can make it easier for different people around the globe to truly connect, share resources, and exchange ideas. There are those of us who would complain about the depersonalization caused by social media and the divide that digital media creates between individuals and real life experiences. And I have, on occasion, wondered if my constant internet use, emails, and social media posts have put distance between myself and everyone else in the world.
"I'd rather be in Philadelphia"
For some reason this is what President Reagan said (quoting the humorist W.C. Fields) after being shot. I had good reason to agree last month after speaking at the opening of the 31st Ivy League Model United Nations Conference (ILMUNC) organized by University of Pennsylvania students.
"What does one wear to the White House?" was one tweet I read as I prepared for a truly unique DC event. On Tuesday, December 9, I joined 100 of our country's most influential travel bloggers—from big players like Yahoo Travel to start-ups like Adventure Girl—for the White House Travel Blogger Summit on Study Abroad and Global Citizenship. For IIE and our colleague organizations, the topic is so close to our hearts: how do we encourage young Americans to study, volunteer, and work abroad?
This year's CIEE annual conference addressed the "three Cs" that are making it hard for our students to study abroad: Cost, Curriculum, and Culture. It was my privilege to speak at the luncheon, which was then devoted to working groups to come up with ideas on how to reduce obstacles in each area. Many good ideas were reported and will be shared as part of CIEE's commitment to IIE's Generation Study Abroad initiative, which also included a generous package of $20 million in scholarships and actions designed to help students throughout the United States to take advantage of international opportunities.
Three weeks before IIE's fall Generation Study Abroad commitment deadline, I packed a suitcase full of newly released IIENetworker magazines and flew back to Oregon, my home state. My destination was Idealist.org headquarters in Portland, where PDX Abroad had gathered 26 higher education professionals from Oregon and Washington to hold a Generation Study Abroad Think Tank. The event, which was modeled after IIE's March 2014 roundtable discussion titled "What Will it Take To Double Study Abroad?" was the first such event organized spontaneously.
"Study abroad" has a strong connotation among some audiences of being fluff and fun, irrelevant to academic study and accessible only to the wealthy. The term itself does not reflect the breadth of study abroad options that have evolved over the years; it is outdated and needs to be changed to reflect the new reality of "study abroad." In our outreach campaigns, Generation Study Abroad needs to work to rebrand "study abroad" as something that is serious preparation for living and working in today's global economy, and can encompass internships, volunteering, and service learning abroad as well as classroom experience.
The theory is that if "international" is a box that institutions have to check, or a question that they have to address, as they seek accreditation, then it will naturally get the attention of senior level administrators and faculty. With this attention, curricular changes, resource allocation, and measurable international experiences—including U.S. study abroad—will follow.
In order to make study abroad an essential part of what it means to be educated, student and family expectations must be addressed at a much younger age. Teachers are key influencers who can help students understand the importance of global awareness early on, and inspire them to be curious about and engaged in the world.
There is a wide range of research available, but validity and quality of the data vary, and the research is often conducted by and for the benefit of the international education community alone. It is important to highlight the most substantive, valid data, and to look for holes in the data that can be plugged with further research. Findings should be articulated in ways that researchers, faculty, senior administrators, policy makers and business leaders can understand. There is a need to join with mainstream consumer research projects to conduct research outside of the higher education setting.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

Bryant Dope - Field Of Dreams
Artist: Bryant Dope
Producer: Fat Jon
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 1 votes )
In the 1989 drama Field of Dreams, a farmer played by Kevin Costner builds a baseball diamond in a cornfield, which somehow ends up attracting the specters of numerous late, great players. I haven't seen it since grade school, so my memory's a little foggy. Thankfully, it doesn't matter, because Bryant Dope's latest feature has nothing to do with baseball or ghosts. Instead, this EP outtake tells the story of a Queens rhymesayer striving to take his mic game to the next level. In intricate, introspective bars, the 21-year-old artist chronicles his efforts to "balance school, music and a day job," and expresses a refreshingly humble, open-minded attitude toward his craft. Fat Jon comes with production to match the artist's thoughtful lyrics, pairing jazzy keys with a headnodic rhythm section. Though this record didn't make it onto the project, those craving more fresh tunes can find what they seek on Bryant's Raw Dope EP, out now online.

Python & Pygame Tutorial - A lander game, step by step
This is a step by step look at the development of a simple 2D game using Python and Pygame. Some advanced language features such as objects have been deliberately left out, in an effort to make things easier to understand for beginners. I showed these code examples at my Pygame talk at Southend Raspberry Jam 3 on 16th August '14.
It runs in Python 2 or 3, and on Windows, Linux or Raspberry Pi and probably Mac too. You will also need Pygame installed. On a Raspberry Pi (Raspian, the usual distribution) or desktop Linux you can install everything needed by running this in a terminal:

Drivers for Epson Printer/scanner
Obtaining Drivers for an Epson Printer/Scanner
I have been using for some time now an all in one printer/scanner by Epson, namely an Epson Stylus SX445W, with my Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS OS but I had until recently not had need to used the scanning feature. When I started to use it I obtained a notice telling me there was no connection. Clearly, since the printer is working OK otherwise, I needed drivers for the scanner. However, this is not quite so simple, although using the Terminal helps enormously as described below.

BitMessage a Secure email Client and Server
Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.

Come New Year and travellers flying out of Capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport will get relief.
The development fee (DF) at Delhi's IGI airport will be slashed by Rs. 100 for domestic and Rs. 700 per international passenger from Tuesday. The fee was Rs. 200 and Rs. 1,300 per domestic and international passenger respectively.
The decision of GMR-led Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) to slash the charges followed a directive by the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA).
Earlier, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh had directed DIAL and Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) to abolish DF at the two airports with effect from January 1, 2013. The Minister had also directed the Airports Authority of India (AAI) not to levy DF at Chennai and Kolkata airports, being modernised by it.
Following this, DIAL had moved AERA, which, after consultations, decided to reduce the rate which would tentatively remain effective till April 2016.
Welcoming the order, DIAL said in a statement that the measure would "enable airlines to reduce the overall travel cost of passengers, thus giving a boost to the Indian aviation sector."
Keywords: Delhi airport, IGI airport, DIAL, development fee, Airports regulation
