Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chris Can't beat the price I looked at purchasing this same machine from 3 other places and prices ranged from $1000 to $700. Was thrilled to pay under $500 through Dicks. The machine works exactly as promised. Comes with a IFit demo card which talks you through several exercises. 35mhz is plenty of vibration to get a good work out. Wish the deck was a little higher, but works good for what I need. Keep in mind when purchasing that the box this comes in weighs over 100 lbs. So you definatley will need help getting it in the house or where ever you are going to put it. April 7, 2014

Cosmopolitan's May 2014 issue recruited übertalented Miss Pop to deliver fun, sophisticated, and chic looks per customer preference. The results are an Emoji mani, Chic shapes, and Pick-up sticks.
Here are the brief tutorials:
Pick-Up Sticks: Apply white polish, leaving a semicircle of exposed nail at the base. With a striping brush, paint random intersecting lines with blue, yellow, and coral polish. Apply a top coat and press star-shaped studs at hte base of each nail while still wet.
The Emoji Mani: Make happy-face yellow even more fun with a white base, which makes any color more vibrant. Grab some nail-art pens, and draw in the face shapes.
Chic Shapes: Paint nails nude and pinkies coral. Add on the moods, tops and bubbles (a striper brush or thin paintbrush keeps designs precise).
Bonus: How to break a nail-biter of the habit. Experts at Valley Nails applied their Valley Nail Set to cover the client's natural nails to prevent biting. Unlike gels or acrylic, these natural-looking press-ons are applied with a medical-grade glue that's free of irritating toxins and allows the nails to grow healthily below the surface. And it lasts up to two weeks!

Summer Movie Preview: Dark Shadows
Posted by Team Swagbucks on Fri, May 11th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
While The Avengers seems poised to continue ruling the box office roost (bringing in over $200 million in its first 3 days), this weekend brings us a different flavor of movie from one of the truly directors out there: Tim Burton.
Burton's career has taken an interesting path – he started making wildly original movies, then started to mix in his interpretations of classics: Alice in Wonderland, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and even Sleepy Hollow. This time, he's adapting Dark Shadows, the classic horror soap opera from the early 70s, this time starring Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collin – enjoy!
Are you planning on seeing this movie? Tell us about it in the comments and once you've seen it leave your (spoiler-free) review!

Despite declining manufacturing employment, Chicago has continuously reinvented itself -- resulting in a thriving, diverse economy that leverages the throngs of young professionals continually attracted to the city.
"As other Midwestern cities have struggled with waning manufacturing employment, Chicago has survived by repeatedly reinventing itself. Once a monument to retail, banking, meat-packing and manufacturing, it now boasts a strong presence in accounting, computer-systems design, legal services and consulting, among others."
"Based on an economic measure called industrial diversity, Chicago has developed an economy that more closely reflects the broad national economy than almost any other city in the country. That means it is less exposed to the stumbles of any given industry than cities in the lower half of the rankings."
"With its lakefront parks, an extensive public-transit system and a thriving arts and culture community, Chicago attracts young professionals from around the country for jobs with relatively high incomes."
"Like the fast-changing weather here, not all is sunny. Per capita income growth has been constrained, perhaps by the city's vast influx of Mexican immigrants, says William Testa, Midwest economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago...Chicago also remains challenged by poverty, crime and racial segregation, though by some measures they have stabilized or eased somewhat during the past decade."

A bit more basic than my professor's exam, this was incredibly helpful in understanding the concepts and learning the bones and BASIC muscles. When I had presentations for A&P II, I was able to pull some great questions for the class review. Keep in mind it goes hand in hand with Marieb's A&P textbook. Although that's the reason I had originally bought it, looking back, I prefer it over other coloring books half the price -- the pictures are clearer and the qs make it indespensible in understanding the basics. I strongly recommend THIS book (over other coloring books) if you're taking Anatomy and Physiology.
The book would be great for undergrads, but as a medical student, it doesn't go in depth enough. This is simply the basics, not everything that you need to know.
I took A&P in high school & now I'm taking it to become a medical assistant. The book contains questions & answers, which most healthcare workers probably should know. It has clear pictures to label & color, (better then other A&P coloring books, which are hard to follow). I wouldn¿t count on this to be a plan coloring book, if that¿s what you want. If you buy this book alone, it is a great review for those who already have A&P knowledge & those who just want general info. But, I strongly suggest that you buy the textbook (Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology) along with it, if you don¿t have very much knowledge or you want to get into more detail.
I received this book within the time I was told. It was in great condition (brand new). Overall, the seller provided the product I ordered at a very reasonable amount in the condition that I was expecting. I would definitely order from seller again in the future. I still have 2 more years to go with prerequisites and Nursing school!
It's a great supplement for the text book, helps get ready for tests.

Krhashatha concept art by LDN-RDNTWatch
This is a great piece!
The last had me tumbling backwards off my chair frm my screen nd stuff doznt normally scare bt that one iz lyk the literally embodiment of black death in a corporeal body nd i jst love it so much! My hat's off to u once again my good sir......bt first i have to retrieve my hat ur beasts imagine knocked off my head.
Thanks man. That was my fave too and im glad i have depicted that 'blakc death' feel!!!
Oho, I see you tackled this beastie as well! Probably the most complex single figure Ive ever drawn. Enjoying your take on it quite a bit as well.
yeah i did. yes, complex indeed. some great imagination Jesse has. . i saw your version, lotssa detail involved. its great creature design i reckon.
Thanks, and yeah, he has some kind of imagination all right. I think he's the only one who does his creature justice. But youre the closest Ive seen anyone else get.
yours is pretty close i think. but yes i did struggle to capture that alienic evil devourer of worlds character. soemhting that should be added to the silver surfer/galactus/infinty gauntlet universe
Yeah but I wish Id done what you did and made a flying version. I completely lost sight of it eating worlds and posed it in a walking stance because the owner himself had done so...d'oh! That bottom image is so horrifying, I can just picture a planet about to be grabbed by all those legs ans that crazy mouth gaping wide.
I too would love to see this thing take on Galactus!
I too would love to see this thing take on Galactus!
Great details.
Super awesome..I love how you have designed this creature.
Thanks very much!
i like the third one the best
Quite the beastie he's come up with there!
I like it
What a wonderfully horrid beast!
Freaking crazy. But in a cool way.
Well, you know I love these, but figure I should mention it here too. Thanks again.
I think the second one might be my favorite.
I think the second one might be my favorite.
the top one looks creepier and cooler too.looks like dragon meets centipede
Holy shitting ghost of Jesus. That's amazing.
BEAST...literally I guess(ha i made a funny). In all serious though this looks epic!

Like 12/7 (Pearl Harbor), 9/11 lives in infamy.
Both tragedies were tough lessons in strategic surprise, and both were the result of grievous intelligence failures.
The warning is obvious only in hindsight, but in his January 2001 Senate confirmation hearings Donald Rumsfeld recognized the problem. When asked if he would name "one thing" that "kept him up at night" more than any other specific threat or trouble the Pentagon confronts, Rumsfeld answered, "Intelligence."
In a column of mine published on Jan. 23, 2001, I wrote that "Rumsfeld's response fingered what is the major American foreign policy and defense weakness, even in this era of extraordinary American economic, political and military strength. Faulty and inadequate intelligence is not merely a source of current SecDef sleep deprivation, it has loomed large in real world nightmares, from Pearl Harbor to Korea to Vietnam to the USS Cole disaster."
That column also added: "Fielding human spies (HUMINT in the jargon) is a delicate, time-consuming and often dirty business. Tightly knit terrorist cells, however, can evade high-tech detection. Stopping Osama bin Laden means America has to have more and better trained agents."
Yes, that's pre-9/11.
The sixth anniversary of 9/11 is an appropriate moment to reflect on the vexingly complex problem of surprise, and particularly strategic surprise. The problem has no solution, at least no perfect solution. Unless you know the future, surprise is inevitable.
Limiting the more devastating effects of surprise is the elegant trick that defines the best-prepared. I think the insurance industry uses the term "lowering the risk premium." That means limiting the number of lives lost, the property damage and the costs of assuring security.
Last month, the CIA inspector general's office released its assessment of the CIA's pre-9/11 efforts. The report was damning. The CIA had sources, leads and facts, but it lacked imagination -- the dynamic imagination to foresee al-Qaida's planned attack.
The CIA is a bureaucracy. Bureaucracies are hell on artists, which is OK if you're pushing pencils but not OK if you are puzzling through an intricate design. The 9/11 plot was an intricate design.
Intelligence is an art -- a grand, interpretive collusion of linguistics, geography, mathematics, history, theology, psychology, physics, metaphysics and every other human means of analysis and explanation. Former CIA Director James Schlesinger nailed it in October 2003 when he said: "But major organizational change (of U.S. intelligence agencies) is not the salvation. I would submit the real challenge lies in recruiting, fostering, training and motivating people with insight."

Holy Rood School has bought its first minibus with money raised by friends of the school. Pictured, left to right, are Mandi Morris, chair of PFA, Paul Boyles, chair of governors), Martina Haugh, treasurer of PFA, Year 5 pupil Samuel Garrett who won the D
PUPILS at Holy Rood Junior School will be storming around Swindon after securing their first ever minibus.
The school in Upham Road, which will take on a reception class when it expands to become Holy Cross Primary School in September, received the new minibus on Wednesday, after two years of fundraising.
The £10,600 minibus can seat 15 people and carries the school's new name and crest, which was designed by Year 5 pupil, Sam Garrett.
The 10-year-old said: "I'm happy and excited because I won and I never thought I had a chance of winning. I feel shocked because everyone around Swindon will see it. It will be strange seeing it out around the town."
The new minibus will enable the school to continue to engage with the community in Swindon and go further afield to sports fixtures and out of school events.
Headteacher Tony McAteer said: "It means that we can do more work in the community such as visiting the residential homes. We do all that already but it now means we can go further afield.
"The teams will also be able to go to local fixtures and the choir and drama groups will also be able to go out into the community more."
Chair of the board of governors, Paul Boyles, was also delighted the school now had a minibus.

He said: "I have been here for many years and I can remember when I first came here that if there were any matches parents had to take the players to all the football matches.
"Now that there is a minibus they can just jump on to it.
A significant amount of the money for the new minibus was raised by the school's Parents and Friends Association, which donated £4,000 after hosting events including fetes, discos and Christmas card sales.
Meanwhile, parent Martina Haugh cycled 100km to raise money for the cause, and deputy head Robin Christian ran the London Marathon.
The Highworth Lions also donated £200, and a further £300 was awarded by Swindon Council through their Grassroots Community Funding Scheme.
Mr McAteer said: "The Parents and Friends Association committee has done a great job.
"We are also grateful to High-worth Lions and Swindon Borough Council for their support of the project and to the governors who have been involved."

Metro Kitchen & Bar
Hotel Astor
Chic. Cool. Intoxicated. And that's the way you feel even before your cocktail! As you walk through the hotel doors, the sleek white chairs and tables to the left announce Miami's best place to sip from a long-stemmed glass and sink into one smooth recline (or decline, depending on how many rounds). What used to be supercool-looking Astor Place and its bar is now even better looking, with clean lines in white, mahogany, and steel gray. From your chair is a full view -- through a glass wall -- of the patio, with its waterfall and colorful plants. Turn your head slowly and the deep-brown wooden shutters that cover the windows make a picture-perfect backdrop to the all-white chairs. But to really do the cocktail experience right, you need to perch yourself on one of the white stools at the glass-covered bar, where Todd will mix you up anything your thirsty soul desires, and will flick a gold Zippo before you realized you even needed a light. What does that whiskey taste like? Here, try it, he'll say. There's no better seat in town.

Warning Part I: Can 'o worms to follow, thar be dragons here so sail on at your own risk, mate.
Warning Part II: This is no endorsement of making the modifications shown here, this is simply information transmittal.
A few FSX default files that developers and tweakers tend to "mod", with some ( brief ) descriptions:
1) Default.xml
Contains a list of all library objects that FSX uses as Autogen.
This includes "added value" objects like burger joints, shopping malls, light poles, etc as well as random vegetation objects. A careful editing of this file can remove those and leave the random trees and shrubs while an unwary edit can nuke both.
See this thread for more info: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3167This can result in a performance boost at the cost of some variety.
This can result in a performance boost at the cost of some variety.
2) Autogendescriptions.Spb
AutogenDescriptions.Spb Is just a compiled version of AutogenDescriptions.xml, which lists the vegetation ( & regionalizations ) models in use as Autogen trees/vegetation.
You can control whichever AutogenDescriptions file you wish to use, as follows:In fsx.CFG [SCENERY] section, add - // Selected Autogen AUTOGENDESCRIPTIONSFILENAME=AutogenDescriptions_your_name
Many tweak sites have mods to this file, as always back up before you mod. This can result in a performance boost at the cost of some variety.
As above (2) but for Autogen building roofs. This helps allow the regionalized roofs to be in a separate file.
4)Materials descriptions.spb
As (2) again, information for clouds, taxi and runway, trees, etc.
http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=121&topic_id=354861&mode=full is a good thread with a tweaked download for the above 3 files. Always remember to back up your originals.5)Terrain.cfg
This is one of the files most often tampered with by 3PD's .
Running a repair on the affected add-on, or on FSX itself to start over is often the only fix if you start getting issues.
See http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6204 for a longer description of the issues.
Master landclass lookup file, tampering with this can affect other add-ons just like tampering with terrain.cfg can.
There have been interesting discussions about whether or not to modify this file is a proper approach, or whether or not developers should "live with" the default one.
As part of Aces I cannot advocate either approach, but each has merits in its' turn.
The main advantage of the "live with lclookup" approach is there is no potential conflict with other add-ons in other regions. The main drawback is living with any anomalies introduced by Aces. Overall, when considered with other add-ons and flying from region to region this does present a nicer face to the user in the general case, no argument there.
The main advantage the "modify the lclookup" aproach provides is overcoming some drawbacks to our default outside of NA and Europe, which in the case of "the Land of Oz" is a real issue to overcome. The main drawback with the "modify the lclookup" approach is what to do when flying outside the area the modifications to it support and/or when using other add-ons. The biggest conundrum is how to use the "modify the lclookup" approach in NA and Europe where there is a preponderance of other add-ons. That is a conundrum I am looking forward to Holger and team solving for the PNW add-on they are currently working on.
Note 1: The origjnal idea for this post started with this thread:
and then sort of expanded J
Note 2 : the AC2Scan tool in the FSX SDK will validate changes to the default.xml file.
Note 3: the AC3Scan tool in the FSX SDK will validate changes to the following xml or spb files:
autogendescriptions, materials, roofdescriptions, extrusions, terrainautogenclassdescription
Note 4: Just to pick one, a good thread that collects these tweaks that can affect (these are available all over the place) is
Some of the config tweaks I have explained elsewhere in my blog but these file tweaks may help users with older systems.
Note 5: thanks to John and Nick for dialoging with me on the lclookup issues to make sure I accurately stated both sides.
Note 6: As always, back up your files before embarking on any tweaks, and ymmv as to their effectiveness ( or not J ).
I hope this was useful.

Currently, our earnings come from my husband's position as a teacher for an online academy, and from his personal mentoring with homeschooled youth. I also earn some from my web design work, although most of my time is spent working as a mom and 'world-school' teacher (which I don't get paid for 😉 ) "How do you pay for it?" is the thing most people want to know when they discover we've been wandering long-term with our five kids since 2007. "You must be loaded!" is what many people think. The truth is, we're not (not yet anyway.) And it really takes less money to travel than you think (probably less than you currently spend living 'at home'.) Yet since we first started exploring in 2007, we've taken our kids to 12 countries on two continents (as of Nov. 2013 - we're still going!) Many don't see how it's possible to travel full time, with 5 children (almost six), especially when 'traveling is so expensive.' But I'm here to tell you that funding travel is really quite simple... and possible! It just takes a little creative thinking. The first 'secret' to funding travel is learning how to afford it (even with a family). To do this, you need to learn the difference between travel and vacationing (yes, there is a BIG difference). If you learn how to actually travel than you realize how inexpensive (and affordable) it is. That makes funding it on a long-term basis that much more of a possibility. The next step is discovering how to earn money. And not just how to earn money, but how to earn money in a way that gives you freedom to travel. Many people like to ask us what we do, perhaps thinking that they could do it too, and then be able to travel like we do. (That's what I used to think. I was always looking for 'the answer' that would provide the money we needed to travel full time.) In reality, there is no single way to fund a travel lifestyle. The modus operandi are as varied as the individuals pursing them. The real key to funding your travel lifestyle is to be creative, to think unconventionally about income sources, and/or find a way to do what you do, but in a more mobile way. And the critical factor that many people dreaming of travel ignore? Most of us (people who are traveling) did not have the skills we currently have that are creating the income that gives us the freedom to travel. What we did have was a dream and the determination to learn, discover and do whatever was necessary to make our travel dreams a reality. That is more important than anything else. You can learn whatever you need to learn, you just need to want it bad enough.. If you can discover a way to work remotely, find a position abroad that uses your skills, or uncover a system for taking periodical 'sabbaticals' throughout the year, then you'll have discovered the freedom to explore this big, beautiful world. But, below I'm going to share the very specific income sources that we have had or currently have, in an effort to spark some ideas that might help you discover your own mobile financing. We believe in the principle of 'multiple streams of income', (or 'patchwork income'). Instead of having one source of money, you create many - thus reducing your financial risks, and increasing your financial possibilities. Below is how we fund (or funded) travel: #1- Real Estate Investments This was one of the tools that made travel a possibility for us in the first place. Back in 2006, we were doing really well, and decided to move to Costa Rica, because our income was not dependent on location. That worked great... until the U.S. economic collapse of 2008. BUT, investing in real estate is how Nancy Vogel (from FamilyonBikes.org) paid for their three-year biking adventure from Alaska to Argentina. (Watch her interview to learn more about how she did it.) #2- Trading Stock Options This was another thing my husband did back in 2006 - 2008. He made LOTS of money (he once made $6k one morning on a beach in Mexico... ahh, those were the days.) Day trading, swing trading, options trading and all of those stock market things give you lots of freedom (we recently interviewed a traveler who is living in Thailand who trades foreign currencies). All you need is a laptop. You can make money when the market goes up, and when it goes down. And you can trade in other markets too. But beware, it's easy to lose your shorts (and a whole lot more), so be well educated before you try this. (I found this guy who might have some good advice on where to get started.) #3- Seasonal/Temp Work (and Savings) Once the market crashed in 2008, we returned to the U.S. and my husband got contract jobs here and there. We lived frugally (traded rent for home improvements) and saved, saved, saved (a key ingredient if you want to travel). He was offered a career position with a great company earning over $100k a year... but he would be chained to a cubicle. We decided instead to stick with the temp work, and subsequently took off for the Dominican Republic in 2009. In an interview with a traveling couple, he told us that he works during the summer doing sales, giving him the rest of the year to do other things... like travel. (We interviewed him in Panajachel, Guatemala as he was passing through. He and his wife were exploring Central America for several months. His wife also worked remotely for her job while they traveled -- see #16.) This is a strategy that many people use -- working part of the year to save up, and then taking short sabbaticals to explore. (It's how Nancy Vogel got started too, see above, before doing #1). #4- Sell Your Stuff Before taking off for the Dominican Republic, we bulked up our savings by selling anything of value that we had left (we'd already sold a lot of things when we took off for Costa Rica in '07). Gone was our expensive treadmill, couches, bookshelves and even my wedding ring... I valued the experiences of travel as a family much more than any possessions. (Our friend Adam Baker has great advice on how to 'Sell Your Crap') Our good friends the Jensens used this approach, along with cutting back expenses, to save up enough money to move their family of six to Guatemala where they've been living since 2011 (and are currently running our non-profit organization that teaches self reliance to the indigenous people in the highlands of Guatemala.) Greg Jensen recently commented how much closer their family is since moving abroad. He says, " I now understand better the idea of "It doesn't matter where you live, or what your house looks like, or what neighborhood you are in, or school district, etc., as much as how you live." #5- Freelance Work When we moved to the Dominican Republic my husband was contracted to do options trading for some investors, and I worked on freelance writing. Eventually the investors backed out, and my husband went back to the states (after six months, this time to Georgia) for more temp work. My writing skills weren't exceptional enough to make very much, but for awhile these two income streams helped pay the bills. Since then, I have been able to make more as a freelance writer (and it's something I still do.) I've written for travel magazines and online travel sites that pay anywhere from $50 to $150 an article. (You can find freelance work on Elance.com and Odesk.com. If you want to become a paid travel writer, here's a list of sites that pay. Chris Guillebeau has a great book available that I recommend on getting paid to write. #6- International Employment After a stint of temp work in Georgia, my husband was offered a job with a non-profit organization in Southern India. The company covered all of our expenses -- including visas, immunizations, airfare, housing, utilities, etc. PLUS paid him a salary. Many people have used international employers to help them see the world. During our travels we've met people who've worked for Caterpillar, Fuji, Walmart, Bank of America and more. Before biking from Alaska to Argentina, Nancy Vogel and her husband worked as school teachers in Ethiopia. It's a great gig to be an international teacher, because they cover all your expenses, and you can often earn a tax free salary. My own sister taught English in Thailand, before landing employment with a T.V. production company in Bangkok handling their social media. (This site has great resources for finding international employment. You can also find some adventurous jobs at ExplorersConnect. If you're interested in teaching jobs, check out TeachAnywhere.com) #7- Blogging After living in India, we moved to Alaska where we added child #5 to our family. Once we decided we wanted to drive from Alaska to Argentina, I realized we needed a long-term, mobile solution for funding our adventures. I chose to focus on blogging as a 'career', something I had been studying for years through sites like Copyblogger.com and Problogger.com. I started treating my blog as a business instead of a hobby, and even though it didn't happen overnight, eventually I began earning income -- through affiliate sales, advertising and text links, and selling our own information products. (If you want to try blogging as a business, I recommend starting with something from Darren Rowse at ProBlogger or Christine Gilbert of AlmostFearless -- you can get 25% off with this link.) #8- Website Design and Other Online Work Techy or not, it's easier and easier nowadays to have a real career and earn a great income online. Michelle Dale earns $30k a month as a virtual assistant (and lives on the island of Crete with her family of five.) My Aussie friend Danielle Greason started earning online in just four weeks after moving to Costa Rica with her husband and children... that was in 2011. These are jobs that require just a a little bit of skills training before you can get started. I share what those skills are and how to learn them here. If you are a techy person, than it's easy to make money as a web or graphic designer and travel. All you need is your computer. I've done website designs on three continents, and it's really helped to pay the bills. (I still do website design, you can view my portfolio here.) Anything such as graphic design, website design, or social media can be turned into an online, location independent career. #9- Windfall $$ Anytime we've come across any 'windfalls' of extra cash, it's always gone to pay for our adventures. Whether tax refunds, insurance settlements or inheritances (that hasn't happened yet), we invest the money into unforgettable experiences that will treasure forever as a family. Are you getting a tax refund this year?? #10- Start Your Own Business Abroad In Costa Rica, you can't work as an employee, but you can start your own business. This is true in many places around the world. So why not? Take your skills and use them to create an income. Teach scuba diving or surfing, open a photography studio, or a trail running company. Or get involved in local commerce. My kids recently ran a booth at the local expat Farmer's Market where we've been living in Costa Rica. Sell homemade chocolates or soaps, or even meat chickens (an income adventure in Guatemala we tried). The options are truly endless, if you get a little creative. #11- Coaching/Mentoring My husband is one of those people who motivates and inspires others. Over the years, he's had the chance to coach and mentor many individuals -- from teens to adults. This is currently the main source of our income. (Check out our websites, GregDenning.com and WorldSchoolAcademy.com) If you have the ability to help others reach goals or gain a proper perspective on life, or even just skills that others would like to learn, then why not turn them into an income, and mentor others you meet in person, or via today's online technology. Above are a few of the ways we've been able to fund our family travels. But we've also met dozens of couples and families who have found their own unique strategies. Here's a few of them: #12- Foreign Services Many people have found work with the U.S. Embassy, taking jobs in exotic locations like Costa Rica, Dubai and Afghanistan (all over the world really). They are paid good salaries, housing is often covered, and they receive new assignments on an average of every 3 years. You can find out more about joining the foreign services here. #13- Online Employment There are companies emerging who offer paid positions online that can be worked from anywhere in the world. Some of the most common involve teaching English (and other languages) via the internet. Some organizations we know of our OpenEnglish.com and LanguageLab.com Along with working for an employer you can also create your own job like my Aussie friend Danielle did (see #8). #14- Network Marketing Despite the negative connotation some people attach to network marketing, it's actually a really great business model for funding travel. It gives you the option to control your income, to create residual income, to work from anywhere (especially if you master online marketing). On top of that, you don't have to do everything yourself (product development, payroll, etc.) and you can start for very little. I know of at least two families (personally) that fund their travels (very comfortably) with network marketing. Don't be close-minded, at least consider it. 😉 #15- Acting/Performing Yes, people do it! While spending seven splendid weeks on the shores of Laguna Bacalar, Mexico, we met several traveling performers, including our 'pirate' friends (from Europe) who would put on a pirate show at the local historical fort and at restaurants (they eventually opened their own pirate themed restaurant.) If you've got a theatrical bent, why not give it a try? #16- Working Remotely As Tim Ferriss talks about in his book, some people have been able to negotiate with their employers to work from 'home' via their laptop -- wherever home might be, we'll never tell. 😉 We've met a couple of families/couples who have done this. We recently interviewed Michael who convinced his employer to let him work from Costa Rica so he could move his family down for an 'international experience'. The company was hesitant, but finally. His advice? It doesn't hurt to ask. To gain the freedom to travel, discovering flexible income streams is critical. It's not always easy, but it IS possible. Take the responsibility into your own hands, instead of looking to an employer to provide the money to pay the bills, and you'll be half way to living the life you want to live. Make sure to check out the rest of our How to Fund Travel interview series! And for still more information, READ THESE BOOKS: Linchpin Four Hour Work Week Cash Machine Cash in a Flash One Minute Millionaire Multiple Streams of Income (and Multiple Streams of Internet Income) How will YOU fund your travel?

I think it's important to note that more traditional business models can be turned in to location independent income as well. Our mobile income is derived from manufacturing and wholesale and retail eCommerce. The location independent part of it comes through the magic of outsourcing. Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 Awesome! Thanks Lisa, I'm glad you pointed that out. There are so many options. Reply Loya March 20, 2012 We used the oils late last night when Harrison was sick. He slept through the night & is a new person today! Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 Yeah! Reply jen March 20, 2012 Thank you for this wonderful post. I am going to re-read it tonight when I have more time but wanted to say you can sign me up for these guides free or paid… they are great topics! Worldschooling – The Un-Official Un-Guide The Unconventional Guide to Parenting: How to Make Sure Your Child Never Goes to School, Never Gets a Job, and Grows Up to Change the World Family Health on the Road: Essential Oils for Traveling Families Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 Sweet! I'll start a list and you can be the first one on it Reply Jen Kelly March 20, 2012 Like you say Rachel, it's totally possible to create income based on your passions! Our passion is teaching people about natural health care with the potential to decrease and even eliminate over-the-counter and prescriptions meds. The income we receive from sharing doTERRA essential oils with others allows us the freedom to be location independent as well. We love helping people with their health. Florence Nightingale and Mother Teresa are two of the greatest women who have walked the earth in my opinion, and I like to feel I'm following that same mission of helping and healing others. We are looking forward to our upcoming trips to Guatemala, Hawaii, Costa Rica, and who knows where else after that! I have to say I am a bit nervous about traveling the world (my husband and I have 6 kids, and our youngest three are 5) because I've never done it before, but with the oils, my confidence is greatly increased. I know we can treat challenges (physically/emotionally) that might come our way with the oils, so that gives me more confidence as a new traveler to foreign lands. We are looking forward to seeing the world with our family, and instead of just reading the library books, we will actually be IN the library books, experiencing the world first-hand! Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 Fabulous Jen! It will be an incredible adventure. We will be seeing you in Guat soon! Reply Matt March 20, 2012 Hey Guys, I hope your travels continue to be truly amazing and inspiring not only to others but to yourselves as well! I just wanted to say great job on this article, so informative. Take care and safe travels! Matt San Pedro, Belize Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 Thanks Matt! How's San Pedro? Reply Sonia March 20, 2012 You guys are totally inspirational! I've lived, travelled and worked extensively in Europe in the past and I really miss it. I now need to have a base camp due to family caring commitments … but every chance I get I island hop Oceania, cycle-bike in tow; I LoVe exploring Australia and the South Pacific and it's an easy "can do" from base camp.

Reply ravetek March 20, 2012 Can't go wrong with selling stuff on ebay with drop shipper Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 That works for a lot of people. Maybe I'll have to try it Reply Clark Vandeventer March 20, 2012 One of the things I love about this is that it is a list of 9 ways you make money. Not, 2 ways, not 3 ways. Love the patchwork income approach and how you just look for opportunities. They're all around! Reply Rachel March 21, 2012 I like that – patchwork – and it's definitely a good approach to have when you want to break away from the 9-5 life. Of course we work more hours than that but we get to do it anywhere in the world (I'm typing his on my iPhone while we drive through Guatemala) Reply Stanley Lee March 21, 2012 Rachel, Thanks for your email replies to my inquiries re: this post. It's amazing to learn that you have this many income streams. There are two questions I would like to hear your insights to fill in the remaining gaps: 1) Are there any streams that make up the biggest bulk of the total income? (I'm guessing your products and freelancing would make up the bulk, followed by the affiliate sales) 2) Which stream(s) are the most active for you? (I'm guessing the freelancing and some product support activities) Keep in touch, Stanley Reply Rachel April 3, 2012 Hi Stanley, I've responded to this comment TWICE, and both times it didn't show up (once from my iPhone, and once when my website hadn't finished migrating to a new host). I'm going to try it again! 1. Currently, our income is variable – one month it might come mostly from website design, another from affiliate sales, or the sale of our own product. Because we're still in the first year of building our online business, the strongest sources of income are still in the process of growing. 2. As for being the most active, that can really depend on what I'm currently posting or blogging about. If I'm recommending books or products, that income increases. If I'm talking about our product, those sales go up. Again, they are all still growing and establishing themselves, and it's determined by where we put our focus. Reply deb March 21, 2012 This is a great post. I quit my job last year so that I could travel more. My friends still don't understand how I do it, but its rather simple really. 1. Work as a virtual admin assistant.–instead of going to a brick and mortar office I go to my computer and work via phone and email. 2. Professional blogger. Paid to write reviews and posts as well as sell advertising on my site. 3. Social Media work. currently this includes overseeing blog marketing projects. working on expanding this area a bit more. Those three keep me very busy, but also keep me in travel money. My husband still works a "regular" job as well. however, he stays home when my daughter and I road trip. I'm searching for a couple other income streams as well. Doesn't hurt to be well diversified 😉 Happy Travels! Reply Rachel March 22, 2012 Thanks for sharing how you do it. It's always very helpful to see 'real' ways it can be done. Reply Aly March 21, 2012 I love this post, Rachel! I'm excited to check out some of those recommended reads. My husband and I are in the planning stages of a new business that we are going to launch (we haven't actually said that out loud to anyone other than ourselves to this point), and need all of the information we can get our hands on to get going. It certainly is exciting when you come up with ideas that will actually work, are unique, and that you are passionate about! Thank you for sharing this and for all of the great suggestions. Reply Rachel March 22, 2012 Awesome Aly! What fun to have a project like that to work on. Lots of success! Reply Don March 21, 2012 Thanks for outlining all that you are doing in such a frank and honest way. So many people on the internet are doing cloak and dagger. It refreshing and inspiring to see exactly how you are designing your life right now. Ever since I read Chris's Art of Nonconformity and Tim's Four Hour Work week, I've been looking for guidance on how to break free from my JOB. Your posts and especially this one give me the belief that this is a possibility for me & my family too. Also interesting to note that I've read most all of you Recommended books, but as of yet, have not taken action. Now is the time to do so. Thanks!! Reply Rachel March 22, 2012 Glad you enjoyed it Don. It also took us years to finally implement all the great stuff we've read. I think we first read Four Hour Work Week in 2007 – we're just applying it now Reply Jorge April 5, 2012 I like what are you doing and how you doit o saw your car today good luck Reply Rachel April 7, 2012 Sweet! Where? Reply Sandra Burkholder April 14, 2012 We recently took a 2-month work-vation around North America in our used vegetable oil van with our children. We did it over winter so it ended up being more expensive than it would have been had we done it in summer. However, we are both consultants (me a bookkeeper and writer and my husband an engineer who is a whiz at high level computer/network/system design and maintenance). Our clients were awesome and let us work remotely. We packed our laptops and a mobile printer and were able to travel and work a few days a week. We homeschool with a great program in British Columbia, called SelfDesign, which allows families to introduce as little or as much structure into "learning" as they like, so travelling with kids is very much encouraged. We are currently part way through constructing our earthship home but since returning from our trip know that we want to do it again. (But less expensively, and further afield). We also write technical docs to do with our sustainable house – this is where my husband's scientific/technical expertise really comes into play, but we really need to move forward on about three more books. These bring in fairly passive income once they are completed and posted. Our biggest weakness is lack of marketing through various methods; our blog, YouTube, etc. This is something I'm determined to learn more about. We are looking forward to (maybe) spending several months next winter in Mexico with friends who have a sailboat. We will make their marina our home base and travel outward from there. By winter we hope to have a bit better income stream to support this. Because we are always keeping an eye on our carbon footprint we elected not to sell products that required shipping in the traditional sense. Rachel, we love following stories of your travelling/living! Reply Rachel April 14, 2012 What a great story Sandra. I'll have to check out your website. Thanks for reading and following and living deliberately!

I love these brushes and have been waiting a very long time to get them as we don't have them here in Canada yet. My sis-in-law went to San Diego and got these for me and I'm forever grateful. The buffing brush alone is worth double the price of the entire collection. I've been using it to apply my MAC Face & Body and its amazing. It buffs the foundation so well in your skin its as if you're using your hands. I'm really clumsy with applying makeup and prefer to use brushes over my hands if I can help it. I use the precision foundation brush for concealer and the contour brush for applying powder blush. I haven't really found any use for the detailer brush but have read that it works well as a lip brush and will try that out soon. I'll definitely be asking my sis-in-law to get me another set when she goes back to San Diego so I can have another of the buffing brush. Really awesome quality brushes for dirt cheap. Samantha Chapman is a goddess.

I got this in a swap and brand new from a lovely lady here in MUA. (*wave* you know who you are! :D)
I really love this set. The bristles are oh-so-soft. It picks up product amazingly and does not absorb too much products as other brushes tend to do. They also dry super-fast after washing. They don't bleed or shed, either. Wow.
Buffing brush: it really buffs my Lucy Minerals foundation perfectly into my skin, there is no trace left of patchy or obvious looking foundation on my skin. Although the head is smaller, I don't find it takes longer to apply foundation, and the size is perfect for blush application, too, and contouring in a pinch.
Contour brush: love this!! it fits perfectly to my cheek hollows, just right for the side of nose. it blends the contouring products beautifully, too. plus, it can also be used to highlight and it perfectly applies cream blushes. score!
Pointed Foundation brush: i don't really use liquid foundation/base, plus i thought at first the size is too small. however, i find this perfect to apply and blend concealers and fits perfectly under the eyes. even when i use Lucy Minerals dry as concealer. and trust me, Lucy is a tricky one to please. ;) you usually need to buff it into the skin real good, but with this brush, there was not even a sign of streak or patchiness. serious magic.
Detailer brush: i find it works nicely to smooth out liquid under eye concealer and, to my surprise, spot concealing with Lucy Minerals foundation. there's no brush streaks and the concealed spot doesn't look unnatural at all. i've also tried applying colors to lower lashline using this brush and it's pretty great.
Panoramic case: this is sheer genius and perfect for traveling. i can fit all my brushes (except for the obese EcoTools Bronzer Brush and TBS Mineral Powder Brush) into this. well, i really don't have that many brush since i only keep what i use. i think with the 4 brushes from the original set, i added MAC 187SE and 4-5 eye brushes. For traveling, i removed the other brushes and put in my brow pencil, eyeliners, eyebrushes, illuminator and foundation (i put them in small pump tubes) and cream stick blush. only need a tiny pouch for powders and my Unii. it fits EVERYTHING. cannot be happier.
Definitely repurchase if they start to fall apart. But I really hope they never will!

I've been using these brushes for almost a year now and I can't speak more highly of them! They are great value for money but also superb quality. I prefer using the pointed foundation brush for my concealer rather than foundation as sometimes it can appear 'streaky' but other than that, no complaints. The detailer brush is perfect for correcting the areas around your eyes and around your nose. The contour brush works extremely well in applying foundation too, so it's great that you can mix and match to whatever suits your requirements. Definitely a worthwhile investment!

I have every brush in this collection, but the Core Collection was my first set. I can't say enough about them! Excellent price, great quality, and they work like a dream. They are easy to clean and feel quite sturdy yet light weight. I just LOVE these brushes, all of them! The buffing brush is probably my favorite out of them all, it just makes application so quick and easy. Without a doubt I will always have these brushes in my collection. I still marvel every time I use them at the quality for price. It's like Sam Chapman gave us all a gift..affordable awesomeness. I'm not made of money and when I do have some extra I like to spend it on my makeup and skin care, it doesnt leave a lot left over for brushes, but ofc as we all know, we need good brushes for the best application..these brushes really do meet all points on my checklist, and for the price I almost feel guilty, like I've stole them, lol. Really the only issues I could see anyone having with these is they are synthetic. Persoanlly I prefer synthetic, easier to clean, dont shed as much and dont soak up as much product, but to each his (or her) own. ;) I havn't had even one of these brushes shed on me..not once. They are super soft, and really perfect in every way. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these brushes, I'm furious with myself for waiting so long to buy them. If you dont mind them being synthetic, I say, run out and get them all as fast as you can, you won't regret it! 100% pure awesomeness all the way!!

As someone else has already noted, the price of this set is well worth it for the buffing brush alone. If you have been wishing for the Tarte Airbrush Finish Bamboo Foundation Brush (which is fantastic) or if you just want a brush that is a little more portable or less chunky than Tarte's, your search can be over. The very dense, plush, and soft hairs make buffing a breeze. Cleans up more easily than the Tarte brush, too. I use the contour brush for a light dusting of highlighter and I have used the pointed foundation brush for both concealer and eye primer, though not for foundation. The detailer is super-handy for small areas such as highlighting the inner corner of the eye or smudging out eyeliner. For $18, the overall quality and utility of these brushes is really amazing. I don't find the case/stand useful at all. I keep my brushes in cup-containers on my counter and when travelling, I'd rather have them all in one case. I do wish it were easier to find a case that allowed for the thick handles of these brushes.

This brush set is perfection. I had been eyeing this set for quite a while. The buffing brush and 109 dupe were too intriguing to pass up. Bought the set from iherb.com, and compared to my local drugstore that carries this for about 40 bucks (I live in Korea), so I got quite a good deal. I highly recommend the site for those living aboad!
A little break down of the brushes:
Buffing brush: Great for foundation. I have the Expert Face Brush from Samantha Chapman too and worried that it would basically be the same thing all over again, but it really isn't. This gives a less full-coverage and thus more natural finish. Also, the great thing about this brush is that it literally takes you 5 seconds to apply foundation. A great fuss free brush.
Contour brush: I had been excited about this one because a lot of people compared it to the Mac 109. Got to say though, it's really not anything like the 109 for me. It's more narrow and dome-shaped, so I don't think I'd actually use it for contouring. If you had a very small face, it might work. I don't. However, I love this for highlighting. It is amazing for highlighting!
Eyeliner brush: When I first got this set, I knew I wouldn't have a lot use out of this brush. Some people mentioned using it as a lip brush but I apply my lippy straight out of the tube. Ironically though, this has become my most used brush out of this collection. I use it to fill in my brows! It's great as it doesn't pick up too much product, and you can also be a little more precise when filling in your brows.
Foundation brush: I'm going to be honest and say I never use this. It's too small to use as a foundation brush, yet too big to use as a concealer brush. If you wear liquid highlighter, this might come in handy, but I honestly have no use for this brush.
All the brushes, like any other Samantha Chapman brush, have amazingly soft bristles. I have not experienced any shedding whatsoever with any of my brushes, even after 3 months of use. Even if you already have an extensive brush collection, or are a newbie to makeup, I definitely think this set is worth looking into!

This ENTIRE set is worth the purchase if not just for, the Buffing Brush. This brush is AMAZING at applying liquid foundation. The intention of this brush was originally for powder, mineral powder and things of that nature. However, this is perfect for liquid foundation. It works the product into your skin like a dream. A Dream, I tell you!
Like they say, it will leave you pixel perfect.

I'd heard about the Real Techniques brushes for a while as it seemed like every blogger on YouTube was raving about them but I was a bit reluctant to buy them as I was unsure of the quality. Still it seemed like everyone was praising the buffing brush and let's face it the pixiwoo sisters always seemed to have immaculate skin when they used it! Unfortunately the buffing brush only comes in the core collection which is a bit annoying but if you consider that most high end brushes cost around the �20 mark and you get four for that price it's definitely great value for money.
I use the buffing brush to really buff in my liquid foundation and I cannot describe the finish, it really does just look like second skin. It leaves you with a moderate coverage and prevents any cakey look.
The contour brush is also nice, it's small enough to really get into the hollows of my cheeks which I like although I prefer using this brush as a blush brush and the blush brush for contouring! I use the foundation and detailer brush for concealer and they both work well although the star of this collection has to be the buffing brush, I would definitely recommend this set just for that brush.
These brushes are also incredibly soft. They're synthetic which is great because it means you can use them with cream products as well as being cruelty free! Additionally they dry really quickly, I can wash them and leave them to dry overnight - brilliant!

The brushes are super super soft taklon fibres. Dries very fast & I had no shedding of the fibres on my first wash. I don't like the stand/case that comes with it though, it's great as a stand, but too stiff as a carrier. The handles are light, and I presume it's made from aluminium.
My favourite is the contour brush, perfect size, fibre density & shape. It is so easy to blend with & it picks up just the right amount of product.
The buffing brush works well with everything, I love it with my mineral powder foundation, it's has the perfect amount of fibres to give stiffness to it without tugging the skin when you are using the brush to buff.
Foundation brush is very small compared to all my other paddle brushes, I've tried it with concealers, which works well, but I like it best has contouring brush for my nose.
I don't have much use for the lip brush though.
The price is very reasonable. I purchased this on Amazon for $17.99 since is marked up to $44 in Australia.
