Wind: 3 mph
The Mad River attack featured Chase Reagan, who hit his way on base in each of five at-bats, scoring two runs and hitting in two. His biggest hit went all the way to the outfield fence, and featured a perfect defensive play by Northfield to tag him out at the plate as he slid in a cloud of dust. Nate Pierce had two hits, including a double and three runs scored. Charlie Zschau, who continues to put the ball in play every at-bat, had two RBIs and two runs scored. Matthew Nussbaum had a hit and scored two; Tony Pierce worked four walks and scored once; Hazel MacMillan had two hits, a run scored and an RBI; North Hodgson had a hit, a run scored and an RBI; and Sam Hayer had hit and a run scored. The only Brave that did not score was also the only Brave not to make an out. Little Brendan Magill had no official at-bats with three walks and a hit-by-pitch. He made it to third base twice but never crossed the plate.
Defensively the Braves looked sharp. Starting on the mound in his pitching debut was Reagan, who struck out the first batter he faced and then fielded a popup from the second batter. A line drive that barely got by a diving MacMillan at shortstop was the only Northfield batter to reach base in the inning, but he was stranded at second base when the next batter hit a grounder to first baseman Magill for the third out. Reagan got out of a jam in the second inning almost single-handedly by snaring a line drive up the middle, a key strikeout and then inducing a comebacker that he perfectly fielded and threw to first to end the inning after allowing only three runs.
In the third, Mad River handed the ball to Magill, who gave up hits to the first two batters he faced, before settling in. Those two runners scored but he got out of trouble with a ground ball to first baseman N. Pierce and a couple of strikeouts. Magill came back in the fourth and shut Northfield down with a strikeout, a comebacker ground out and a grounder to Reagan at shortstop.
The fifth inning featured Tony Pierce (vying with Magill for the title of "Littlest Brave") taking the mound. He threw strikes and was helped out with some nifty defense by MacMillan at second, Zschau at short and Nate Pierce at first. After nearly getting a "MacMillan to Zschau to Pierce" double play on one batter, the next batter lined out to Zschau at short who fired a strike to N. Pierce at first for the double play. In the sixth inning, Zschau showed the leather again to get the first two outs before T. Pierce ended the game with a strikeout to seal the win for Mad River.
Braves 10, Cardinals 5
On June 1, two Mad River Little League teams squared off for their second meeting of the year at Couples Field on Saturday morning. The Cardinals took opening meeting on May 4, 9-5, so the Braves were out for Cardinal scalps.
The Cards came out of the box swinging in the top of the first when Bobby Kelly knocked a ball off the left field fence, missing a home run by about a foot. Kelly took a stand-up double and then stole third and home to put the Cards up 1-0. Braves lead-off hitter Sam Hayer reached on a walk, then stole second and third but was caught trying to steal the plate.
In the top of the third, Card Asher Martley singled to center. Kelly reached on a Braves' error and Aidan Melville followed with a walk. Cameron Joslin followed with a sharp hit ball driving in Martley, Kelly and Melville. Cards led 4-0 at the end of the frame.
The picnic ended for the Cards in the bottom of the fourth when Brendan Magill started the rally with an infield hit. Charlie Zschau followed with a sharp single through the infield. Chase Reagan lined a one-bagger to center scoring Magill and Zschau. Tony Pierce followed with a base-on-balls, setting the table for a hard liner off the bat of Matthew Nussbaum that rolled to the fence for a double, driving in Reagan and Pierce. Hayer was hit by a pitch. Hazel MacMillan then drove a shot to right center scoring Nussbaum and Hayer. MacMillan went on to steal third and home. Magill came to the plate for second swipes and again reached on an infield hit. The battered Cards couldn't handle a couple of balls hit by Zschau, North Hodgson and Magill and Zschau scored. At the end of the frame the Braves were up 9-4.
In the top of the fifth Martley notched his second single of the game and Moto'd around stealing second, third and home. Nussbaum led off the fifth for the Braves with his third hit of the game, but this time in the infield. He stole second and scored when MacMillan blasted her second double of the game, a line shot down the right field line. Final score, Braves 10, Cardinals 5.
Earlier in the week the Cardinals split a home/away pair with Northfield, losing at home 9-6 on May 29 and winning away on May 3, 7-5. On June 3, the Cards scored 20 to Montpelier's 1 at Montpelier.
The Cards take on Berlin at home on June 10 at 6 p.m. and play the rubber game of the match against their Mad River rival Braves on June 12.

Posted by Fudsine on Nov 1st, 2011
News Update 01/11/2011
Back in July we said the first release would include 3 maps, sadly we couldnt even meet the target of one completed map. When the CryEngine 3 SDK was announced we lost the majority of our team who wanted to pursue games of their own design.
News Update 01/11/2011
But we don't want to release nothing after all this time, so we will be releasing the pinger fight that we previously showed you back in July and from there we will patch it with any updates we make. Ontop of which to all fans of Crysis and Crysis Wars we are also reworking the AI and the snow map for those who enjoyed the first game.
The release date for Crysis 2 Co-op at the latest for the Terminal map is 2nd Decemeber. But this will be pushed foward depending on whether we fixed some key issues.
As for the original Crysis Wars Co-op mod check the original moddb page for news in the upcoming weeks. Link: Moddb.com
We hope you are looking foward to and will enjoy our releases.
~The Crysis 2 and Crysis Wars Co-op Team
I knew you guys weren't dead, high five
Keep up the good work!
So, a simple question: will this mod be released only for the pinger fight, or for the whole campaign?
I didn't know you were making a coop mod for Crysis Wars, do want!!
Man if only the Crysis 1 CE3 port was on PC.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
It's one of the world's most romantic (and most expensive) hotels, but it's not for everyone.
On March 1, 2010, the series finale of ABC's The Bachelor took place on the Celestial Terrace of Jade Mountain. For weeks prior, fans of the show heard such on-air gushing as "There is no better place to fall in love than St. Lucia. ..." Which begs the question: What's so great about St. Lucia? The remote, lush, mountainous beachfront terrain is stunning, no doubt, but this can be found elsewhere in the Caribbean -- Frenchman's Cove in Jamaica is just one example. So what about this particular locale made all the staged romance feel so spectacular? The answer is simple: Jade Mountain.
The hotel is an architectural marvel. In an effort to respect but not submit to environmental confines, owner-architect Nick Troubetzkoy built the entire resort like a tabletop, braced it against a mountain about 75 to 100 feet above the shore, and pointed it at St. Lucia's iconic Pitons, poking through the Caribbean Sea. Each of the 29 guest rooms shares the stunning view beyond its missing "fourth wall". In order to fit a whirlpool tub with an underwater light show ("chromatherapy"), a sundeck, and, in most rooms, a private infinity pool, Troubetzkoy simply quintupled the size of a typical guest room. And yet the luxury is in the details -- a constant water filtration process that keeps the pools from stinking up the rooms; a network of ceiling fans keeps the rooms from being too warm (there's no AC); and the suites are spaced far enough apart for honeymooners to join Jade in calling them "sanctuaries." As for the design's beauty, the photos speak for themselves.
But Jade Mountain is not for everyone. First: No kids are allowed. Second: The system of catwalks and hundreds of stairs (there are no elevators) makes it an impossible choice for anyone with mobility challenges. And the intimate, scenic serenity does have its trade-offs. Just getting to the resort can take well over an hour (and over $100) on winding, nerve-racking roads. The closest beach is at Jade's sister resort, Anse Chastanet, about a five-minute shuttle or 300 or so stairs away. Nothing divides the bathroom from the rest of the room -- couples better broaden their sense of intimacy. In the rooms, there's no TV, Internet, or even a radio, so you'll have to get by on good company and a good book.
Taken together, it's hard to compare Jade Mountain to anywhere else on earth. But while its quiet, intimate, indisputably romantic atmosphere is unique, you can find a similar setting without sacrificing luxurious comforts at other boutique hotels like the Caves or the Geejam in Jamaica, or the Sivory in Punta Cana -- for as little as one-fifth the price. The suites at Tortuga Bay in the Dominican Republic might lack a private pool, but they're similarly sized and much closer to gorgeous beaches, private lagoons, golf courses, and the airport. And if you're looking to explore the Caribbean's natural beauty, you can stay in a room that walks right out onto the beach at Caneel Bay in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a resort surrounded by 7,000 acres of National Park.
Whatever you need, it's yours, so long as it's before 11 p.m.
As one might expect from a hotel in this price range, the service standards with Jade Mountain are extraordinary -- in-room surprises; free bottles of wine offered at the slightest inconvenience; two dedicated staffers assigned to each guest room whose sole duty is to ensure that you have a flawless experience. That said, once you're outside Jade Mountain -- to visit the beach, for example -- the service standards begin to wane, and you might have to wait a short while for someone to deliver a cocktail.
Isolated on a mountaintop, a long, bumpy drive from the airport
Built into a mountain, nearly 300 steps up from the beach, Jade Mountain is largely cut off from the mainstream resorts in St. Lucia. This has its advantages, to be sure, but it also means that you've got a long, nauseating, and at times terrifying drive from the main airport in Vieux Fort. While St. Lucia is a small island, the two-lane road that circles it can be incredibly slow -- you'll be lucky if you get past 20 miles per hour -- and the last 10 minutes of your journey take you up a steep, one-lane dirt road.
Unlike in more developed Caribbean islands, such as St. Barts, St. Martin, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, or the Bahamas, sparsely populated St. Lucia -- and this part of the island in particular -- doesn't offer much in the way of dining, shopping, or nightlife for its tourists. Once you're at Jade Mountain, you're pretty much going to stay there unless you opt for a guided tour of some kind. Though crime is minimal, poverty is apparent; and the closest town to Jade Mountain, Soufriere, looks to be largely made up of haphazard shacks. Panhandling is common, though the juxtaposition of the haves and have-nots is not as striking at Jade Mountain as it is elsewhere, such as Marigot Bay; Jade Mountain is cut off from virtually everything and everyone. About the only connection it has to the outside world comes from a rooster crowing at the break of dawn.
Located a few hundred steps down from Jade Mountain, the two pleasant (but not extraordinary) beaches are not the resorts' main selling points.
Technically, Jade Mountain is not on the beach. In fact, it's not absurd for a guest to visit the resort without stepping foot onto the sand. But if the sea calls, you can either call for a quick shuttle or descend about 300 steps to the beach at Jade Mountain's older, comparatively cheaper (about $500 per night), sister resort, Anse Chastanet.
The large beach itself is unconventionally beautiful -- the water is a deep emerald; the sand slate grey -- and a brief hike over rocks or a five-minute water taxi can take you around the bend to the more commonly clear, albeit rockier, white sand beach of Anse Mamin.
At the main beach:
At the more isolated Anse Mamin beach:
As for watersports, the scuba shop lends guests snorkeling gear for free. As for the diving itself, this part of the Caribbean doesn't quite compare to elsewhere in the world -- some sea turtles, some tropical fish, and some less-than-thriving coral is about as nice as it gets. It's reasonable; just don't expect anything on the level of what you might find in Thailand or the Maldives. For more rip-roaring water sports, Rodney Bay (about a 35- to 40-minute water taxi away) offers parasailing and Jet Skis.
Called "sanctuaries," and aptly so
No other guest rooms, anywhere in the world, compare to those at Jade Mountain. While a select few architects have attempted to mimic the missing fourth-wall design, opening the rooms to the elements (and bugs), the seamless integration of the infinity pools (in all but the five Sky jacuzzi suites) and stunning views of the iconic Pitons and the Caribbean Sea give Jade's suites a considerable edge over the rooms at other leading Caribbean hotels, such as those at Caneel Bay in the U.S. Virgin Islands or the Caves and Round Hill resorts in Jamaica. Like these competitors, the guest rooms are intentionally tech-free -- no TVs, Internet, or radios to disturb the peace. You better love your company (or at least your book); there's little else to entertain.
The highlights:
The basics:
Not much outside the rooms -- just a gym, an average spa, and two computers
Local, organic produce used to prepare international cuisine on-site; ample other options nearby at Anse Chastanet
Exclusive to Jade Mountain's guests, the casual Jade Mountain Club serves an eclectic mix of cuisines and local flavors initially designed by Chef Allen Susser, a winner of the James Beard Award, and executed by Jade's in-house executive chef, Jonathan Dearden. Much of the produce is organically grown on the resort's Emerald Estate plantation -- the hotel offers tours of the gardens -- and the seafood is always fresh (beef is imported from the U.S.). The food is good, no doubt, but like anywhere in the Caribbean it's not quite up to the standards of a top-tier restaurant in, say, New York City. The setting will often be more memorable than your food.
Apart from this one restaurant, there are several other high-quality restaurants a five-minute shuttle ride down the "hill" at the Anse Chastanet resort, such as the Tree House restaurant (Caribbean fare and great breakfasts), Emerald's (vegetarian cuisine), Trou du Diable (Caribbean and Creole by the beach), and an incredible beachfront vegetarian Indian restaurant, Apsara (a crowd favorite). In addition, the Jungle Grill on the Anse Mamin beach serves some amazing burgers.
Romantic? Undoubtedly. Unique? Absolutely. Expensive? For sure. Through an innovative, open fourth wall, each of Jade's 29 enormous suites overlooks the sea from its chromatherapy-lit whirlpool tub, canopied bed, and private infinity pool. Getting to Jade Mountain can be tedious, even nauseating, but its organic cuisine, doting service, unwavering silence (no TVs, radios, or children), and extraordinary design make the long journey worthwhile.

The man all the women are after! May Ezzedine getting intimate with Haifa Wehbe's ex hubby?
Does Haifa Wehbe have a reason to be jealous of Egyptian actress May Ezzedine?
Rumor has it that May is getting chummy with the Lebanese Diva's ex hubby, Egyptian businessman Ahmad Abu Hashima. He's tall, dark and handsome; we're a lil jealous too!
According to Laha Magazine, several online sources have spotted Ahmad spending a lot of evenings at May's Cairo home lately. Could the two be getting intimate with each other?
However, Mahmoud Al Dabi, Ahmad's business manager, quickly killed the rumors - and any chance of a possible romance in our heads - by immediately denying the claims through a statement posted in the Egyptian magazine "Kawakib Al Masriyah."
Mahmoud stressed that there is absolutely no intimate relationship between May and Ahmad and that the two are merely good friends.
Do you think there's more to the story than meets the eye?

Dexim launches iOS controlled Monster Truck RC vehicle
Well known accessory manufacturer Dexim has released a remote controlled monster truck with an iOS twist. This particular monster truck is controlled solely with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Judge grants death penalty in convenience store murder
The cases against two men charged in the murder a 51-year-old Yemeni gas station clerk were declared capital Wednesday in Vance County Superior Court.
Superior Court Judge Paul C. Ridgeway accepted the prosecution's motion to seek the death penalty in the state's first-degree murder cases against Daiquan Jameek Waddell and Marvin Hargrove Jr.
The men are charged with shooting and killing Ahmed Shahit while attempting to rob the Henderson BP station on Raleigh Road.
Assistant District Attorney Allison Capps said it has been the practice of the district attorney's office for the 9th Judicial District to seek the death penalty in a store robbery where the clerk was killed.
"It fits within the definition of an aggravated circumstance as prescribed by North Carolina law and is certainly appropriate in Waddell and Hargrove's cases, as well as similar capital cases throughout our district," she said Wednesday.
Waddell, 18, of 1828 S. Clearview Drive, and Marvin Hargrove Jr., 25, of 123 S. Cooper Drive, were arrested in March on charges of first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and second-degree kidnapping.
Boyd Sturges is representing Waddell, and David Waters is the attorney for Hargrove.
Sturges said he intends to proceed with the case.
"At this point, my client has pleaded not guilty," he said Wednesday.
As of press time, efforts to reach Waters were unsuccessful.
Capps said the two defendants will both receive an additional attorney, which is standard in death penalty cases.
Waddell has also been charged with three counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon relating to the robbery reported at the Raleigh Road Convenient Mart on March 11 and two robberies reported at the Waffle House, 942 W. Andrews Ave., Henderson, on March 13 and 18.
He is scheduled to appear in Vance County Superior Court on July 1. Hargrove is set to appear July 22.
Hargrove's brother Dontrell Jaquan Hargrove, 22, of 464 Skenes Ave., was also arrested as a suspect in connection with the shooting.

Great Purse!
I really love this purse. I got the Sierra pattern and its super cute. It's a more casual purse since it is a poly, nylon blend, but it still works great! I brought this primarily for my bike bar purse and its perfect. Its just big enough to hold everything i need when biked around town. My U-lock even fits in it! it has an open pocket in the front which i love for easy access. Another zipper exterior pocket for important stuff. And a large interior pocket within the main zipper opening. Great purse, super durable, and recommended for anyone who wants function and a cute print!

AQ SIFE Team Wins Chicago Regional Competition With Six "Innovative" Project
March 29, 2007 - Grand Rapids, Michigan (March 26, 2007) - Whether teaching West Michigan businesses how to develop leaner operations, creating a fully recyclable wind turbine or providing a solution for adequate drinking water in third world countries, the Aquinas College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) are tackling some real issues with innovative ideas. That innovation earned the AQ SIFE Teams a Regional SIFE Championship during competition held in Chicago March 17-18. The event was one of 19 SIFE USA Regional Competitions being held across the United States in March and April.The Aquinas team was one of 12 Chicago regional champions earning the right to compete at national competition scheduled for late May in Dallas. The Regional Championship finish comes on the heels of First Runner-Up awards received at the same Regional SIFE competition in both 2005 and 2006. "The Aquinas SIFE Teams have been making steady progress for the past two years," said Masato Yamazaki, Ph.D., assistant professor of economics and faculty advisor for the AQ SIFE organization. "The projects selected by the students demonstrate the level of commitment by these students toward making a difference in the lives of other people and our environment," he added.There are more than two dozen Aquinas SIFE team members focusing on one of six projects: the Toyota Production System (TPS) team developed a training model for teaching lean manufacturing techniques to West Michigan businesses in manufacturing and service; the Wind Energy team, working with a Japanese firm, is developing a fully recyclable wind turbine; the Clean Water team seeks to develop a new anti-oxidant water storage system to maintain the qualify of filtered water for millions of people in China; the NaviLife team is marketing an idea developed by an earlier SIFE team that created safety lighting in rubber wall baseboards using light-emitting diodes (LED) designed to guide people to safety from a building fire; the Nutrition team is designing, growing and testing hydroponics produce as an organic food source for our students and the community; and the Financial Literacy team has designed an eight week, hands-on course that introduces secondary school students to personal budgets and expense management. "The Regional Championship in Chicago was truly a team effort," stated Roland Vandenbroeck, president of the AQ SIFE organization. "Everyone did their part to make sure that we were prepared for the competition and I believe that we've demonstrated that we are well-prepared for the (national) competition in Dallas (May), as well."SIFE is an international non-profit organization active on more than 1,400 university/college campuses in 48 countries. SIFE teams create economic opportunities in their communities by organizing outreach projects that focus on: market economics, entrepreneurship, personal financial success skills and business ethics. SIFE began on the Aquinas campus in 2002. Currently, more than two dozen students are involved in SIFE projects.

La Famiglia offers generations of cuisine
HUNTINGTON -- While Ralph Hagy opened his small Italian restaurant on Oct. 3, the origins of La Famiglia stretch back generations to when his grandfather, Raffaele Ierardi, came to America in 1898.
He would work on the N&W Railroad and later as a butcher to save money to bring his family over. His wife Caterina would bring a whole host of recipes from the Calabria region of Italy that are still used today.
"I spent years working in the mine industry selling chemicals and working in the mines, but I always had a passion for cooking," Hagy said. "I picked that up from my mother and her Italian heritage, though my father was also a good cook. There was always a lot of love for cooking in the home. We actually had a chance to travel to Italy and visit my grandmother's hometown. We found out the recipes and tastes we were brought up on were the same as what's still used in the Calabria region today.
"Calabria is the southern most region of Italy," Hagy added. "The cuisine of the Calabria region is known for being more spicy. They use a lot of sausage, pork, lamb and hot peppers. They also make a lot of seafood because it's near the coastline. The flour we use in our pizza comes from Italy. Our sauce is made from San Marzano tomatoes from Naples, Italy. We try to make a traditional Neapolitan pizza. Traditional Italian pizzas use fewer ingredients than American pizzas but they have higher quality ingredients. It's a case where less is more. We use a wood-fired oven that cooks at 700 to 800 degrees. Because of this we use a thinner crust.."
Pizzas start at $12 for cheese. Specialty pies include the "Marinara" topped with peppers, onions and garlic. Another option is the "Carne Amore" with sopressata, capicola, pepperoni, prosciutto. Customers can enjoy a traditional marinara sauce, a pork-based sauce, or a "white" pie.
The restaurant also includes a wide variety of Panini sandwiches served on 5-inch and 9-inch buns. Paninis range in price from $4.50 to $9. There is a different pasta of the day every day for $8.50, and one of the house specialties is "Lasagna Calabrese" ($9.50) made with pork sauce and sliced meatballs. All pastas are served with garlic bread. Canolis with a homemade filling are for sale, as are a West Virginia original -- pepperoni rolls. La Famiglia also brews up gourmet coffee and espressos.
"We started work on the restaurant in April of this year," Hagy said. "This house we turned into the restaurant has been in the neighborhood since the 1890s. We acquired it about six years ago. We tried to maintain the historic value of the house intact. We refinished the hardwood floors and left the fireplace intact. The location where we put in the wood-fired oven is a doorway from when the house was built in the early 1900s."
La Famiglia also has a deli menu. Customers can purchase real Italian sausage, Genoa salami, or capicola by the pound. The family's famous pork and marinara sauces are available by the quart.
La Famiglia opens its doors for coffee every weekday at 8 a.m. The main restaurant hours are from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Cash and all major credit cards are accepted. Marshall University students get a 10 percent discount with their student IDs.

Political Cornflakes
DNC: Lee hypocritical over shutdown impacts
The Democratic National Committee jumped on Sen. Mike Lee's comments Tuesday about World War II veterans being shut out of visiting national monuments because of the government shut down, noting that it was Lee who claims credit for the budget stand off that led to the closure.
Lee took to the Senate floor Tuesday to explain the plight of two Honor Flights carrying the veterans who had landed to a shuttered Washington where the WWII Memorial was barricaded by temporary fencing.
"We've got at least two Honor Flights coming in from around the country bringing World War II veterans, members of the greatest generation, to who plan to visit the World War II Veterans Memorial, a memorial designed specifically for them," Lee said. "When they arrive, if nothing changes between now and then, they'll painfully discover what we've learned this morning, which is that those parts of the national mall have been fenced off and barricaded. They won't be able to get in. They won't be able to get very close. This is unfortunate, and just as important, it is unnecessary."
(For the record, the vets actually pushed through the three-foot-high fencing and entered the memorial today.)
The DNC says its hypocritical that Lee would complain about the impacts of the government closure when he's bragged about starting the effort to tie funding for the Affordable Care Act to funding the government, a move that eventually led to the shut down that began Tuesday.
"It's outrageous that one of the instigators of the shutdown is bemoaning its effects," said DNC National Press Secretary Michael Czin. "He's clearly part of the problem and he's one of the leaders of the party that caused the shutdown."
Lee spokesman Brian Phillips brushed off the criticism.
"Sen. Lee is currently working on funding bills that keep our national parks open and will submit them soon to end the government shutdown," Phillips said. "We hope these comments are an indication that Sen. [Harry] Reid and Senate Democrats will support the bill."

Posted by Guest on Jun 27, 2013 in Site News | 12 comments
The following is a guest post
There are scores of advice pieces out there which demonstrate different ways to minimise your debt. But there's nothing so useful as knowing how to make a little extra money each month. By doing so you'll be maximising the chances that you'll be able to pay off your debt quicker than you would have done otherwise. And who knows, you may even have a little left over for spending! So here are some great ways to increase your income throughout the month, and some tips for how to make the most of each opportunity.
Financial Trading
If you're good with numbers, you may want to try your hand at trading on the financial markets. Many companies, such as CMC Markets, offer free demo accounts to beginners, which gives you the opportunity to have a go without any risk.
Trading on the financial markets always does involve a risk of some sort, but the more experienced and wiser you are about trading, the lower these risks will be. Make sure to read up on trading before you start, talk to an experienced trading advisor to get some pointers, and always remember to never invest more than you would be prepared to lose.
Freelancing can be a very handy way of earning extra money, providing you know how to sell yourself properly. Not only that, but freelance work can often fit in around your current job or home schedule, which is great news for people who have existing full time positions or young children at home.
When starting out as a freelancer, make sure you've got an updated online presence which potential employers can refer to. Clean up your LinkedIn, Twitter feed and Facebook account, so as to market yourself in the best possible light. Get experience wherever you can, even if it means working for free for a short while. And never give up your day job until your freelancing career has firmly taken off.
Renting Out a Room
One of the easiest ways to make extra money each month is by renting out a room in your home. Taking in a lodger will ensure that you have a guaranteed extra income, without the need for you having to take on an extra job.
When looking for a lodger, make sure to be very clear in your advert about what kind of tenant you are prepared to take on. Vet your potential tenants thoroughly, especially if you have kids at home. And make sure your tenants are fully aware of their financial responsibilities before they move in. Landlords would be wise to take advantage of any available tenancy deposit schemes.
Great tips on ongoing income streams. I really like the freelancing as its practical and so easy to find work these days via the internet and site like Elance.
How about putting sponsored posts on your blog? It's less risky than day-trading.
I do freelancing AND rent out a room. We have a new renter moving in mid-August. It's so nice having that extra income each month!
Derivatives trading is extremely risky, even for the most educated investors. If you have any debt at all, I think it is terrible to gamble in the markets, because you can lose and at some point everyone loses.
Renting a room or working a side job (freelancing in this case) are ways to make extra money with skills or products your already have, but derivatives trade carries real risk.
I don't currently do any of these, but they are all on my radar for the future. I think making money from my investments would be awesome. That is truely passive income.
Good post.! Do you have any recommendations on how to find freelance work. I have looked at many sites but they are all blogs paying only small amounts for a ton of posts. In the end it equals out to $2-$3 per post.
In regard to freelancing… have you seen what some of the writers are making on Elance? I've seen some with six-figures.. I haven't tried it yet, but that makes it tempting.. Another thought: I know that several sites, answers.com comes to mind, hire writers who are experts in a certain field.
I did freelancing to earn extra income a few years back. I eventually got permanent clients and I am now working full time as a freelancer. Glad I haven't rendered free services just to have something more to put on my profile, though I started at a low rate.
When I bought my last place I took a couple of tenants in, reducing my housing expenses to less than my previous rent in a worse place. You do have to be picky but if you own the place, tenants will behave better than if everyone is renting.
Freelancing is the best way to add in extra money if you can find a job. I completely agree that you must first get experience even if you are working for free. This helps to ensure that you have references for others that want to hire you.
Unless you're planning to do trading full-time, you'll almost certainly lose money. I wouldn't really consider that for most folks.
I really like the idea of trying to implement guest posting on your blog. Do people actually pay to get the exposure??

Pioneer Woman Needs YOU!
It's time to change things up again since I'm a middle child and, well, I like to blame everything on the fact that I'm a middle child. There were so, so many great entries for this contest and it was very difficult to narrow down the field to five. Still, I applied [...]

Ethel Channels Britney
I completely missed Britney Spears' whole rise to fame. In my late twenties at the time of her ascent, I was just a touch too old to be particularly drawn to her music; plus, I was a tad wrapped up in the business of gestating and lactating and otherwise getting used to married life [...]
