Story: "Atomic Robo and the Ghost of Station X"
Previously: Robo tried to save some astronauts in space. And then it went HORRIBLY WRONG. So, then Robo tried to get to the bottom of it only to find a big damn conspiracy with tanks and guns and stuff. This issue? He's on the run and the fate of everyone in the world lay in the hands of a trucker and some HAM radio hobbyists. Seriously. Not buying ATOMIC ROBO comics is the biggest mistake of your life. Do something right for a change and pick up an issue. Start with this one if you have to. Your only regret will be lamenting what took you so long.
Satellites!, tanks!, Ham radio!
Really – Atomic Robo goes from strength to strength. With humour, science and action in this issue, you really need to catch up fast – everything is leading up to the big reveal – whatever that may be.
Because, personally, I have no idea what is going to happen next.
This is a GOOD THING – I now am patiently waiting for the next issue.
Well I say 'patiently'
This is excellent story telling – each new mini from the AR team brings something new, it may be from the past, future or present. There are some excellent ideas, with some fun art and nice touches!
"I get RSS feeds in my head"
With a well rounded and fleshed out supporting cast Atomic Robo is not a one trick character or storyline. There are layers here!
Atomic Robo is Red 5's marquee character and needs to be read by all!

Some senior citizens in Marquette learned a little more about the resources at their disposal on Saturday.
It was all part of the second annual Senior Health Fair at Brookridge Heights Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents spent the afternoon hearing presentations on several different topics, from hospice care to financial and medical power of attorney, from organizations like Lake Superior Hospice and Upper Peninsula Health Plan.
The purpose of the day was to help the residents be aware of the resources available to them and their families.
"This is really, really fantastic," said Marketing Director Julie Laethem. "It's great to be a part of Marquette, and it's great to be here working with our residents and our guests."
Brookridge Heights also provided food for the residents and their guests. The Door Cats provided live music.

XTERRA Turkey Track Trail Run
June 4th, 2016 A classic mountain trail run. 5k, 10k, 1/2 & Full marathon distances.
Event highlights:
In its 7th year, this old mountain classic 1/2 & full trail marathon joined the XTERRA Colorado Trail Run Series in 2012 and has added a 5k and 10k distance in 2013! As always the race is also part of the 2015 Trail Runner Magazine Trophy Series Event.
Turkey Track is a spectacular 13.1 or 26.2 mile trail run on sweet single track, and with the start at 8,100 feet of altitude you're in for incredible mountain vistas and pristine mountain air as you follow the edges of dynamic canyons and through Ponderosa and Aspen forests. Plus your share of roots, rocks, turkeys and perhaps a little bit of mud! This run has mellow elevation gain, less than 1,500 the ideal early-season layout. It's really the perfect transition from a 'road' to a 'trail' race.
Besides the scenic trails, there are lots of reasons that runners return year after year to this race, and now with XTERRA there'll be more SWAG; XTERRA sponsor on course support (aid stations will be fully stocked with all the usual snacks and fruit plus plenty of PowerBar race nutrition and Gatorade); and a chance to rack up those XTERRA points. XTERRA has supplied plenty of signage and flagging tape for a well marked, easy to follow course. Expect a stocked race bag and race memento. We're also iPod friendly if that's your thing.
Turkey Track is a race that prides itself on being a memorable day out. The friendly people of Pagosa Springs come out to make it so: aid stations are run by local community groups like the ATV Club Pagosa Trail Riders, the Roller Derby R.I.P team and the Pagosa Springs High School Cross Country teamthe Pirates. They all run like clock work and are always well stock and well briefed. As you'd expect from a race set in an authentic mountain townthere are horses! The San Juan Backcountry Horsemen also assist us on the day out on the course, up on their trusty steeds they act as marshals, lead out and sweep.
We have a state of the art electronic chip timing system, with splits at the half way. You'll get accurate results fast. We also have a course photographer and the race is iPod friendly. We all meet afterwards at the Pagosa Brewing Company to celebrate a great day out on the trails. Every finisher will get a Famous "GECKO" medal - handmade by local students a Turkey Track tradition.
What's more?! Expect plenty of old fashioned mountain town hospitality in Pagosa Springs (there's lots of accommodation choices with GECKO Partners who offer 15% discount for racers and their families) and you can visit the world's deepest hot springs for a well deserved soak after you run. There's plenty for family & friends to do while you're running.
There will be a kids free fun trail run (kids 10 years and under) at 930am at the start/finish area. Registration on the day of only.
Saving the best part for last: proceeds from the race registration go to GECKO raises money to fund programs that gets kids unplugged, off the couch and outside!
Course Map and Elevation Profile:
GECKO operates under a special use permit with the San Juan National Forest and is an equal opportunity provider.
RACE UPDATE #1 - emailed June 8th at 830pm
Hello XTERRA Turkey Track Trail runners,
Below is information pertaining to the race. It will also be available on the web page.
Bib & Chip / Packet Pick up
BIB & Chip/ Packet Pick up will be held on Friday, June 12th in the parking lot of the The Hub Bike Store from 4:00 to 8:00pm, 100 Country Center Drive Suite F (970) 731-2002.
We encourage you to try and make the most of this opportunity, as it will be busy on race morning. ID may be required for pick up.
As a last resort, bibs can be picked up at the Start/Finish area from 6:30 7:30am for Half & Full Marathon and 8:30 to 9:30am for the 5k & 10k on Saturday 13th.
Late registration rates will apply for on the day registration and only online registrations are guaranteed race socks.
Timing Chips
All runners will receive a plastic electronic timing chip with a neoprene/velcro ankle strap at registration/packet pick up. The number on your timing chip will correlate with the number on your race bib.
It is important that for accurate timing and results the chip is fixed to the outside of your right ankle using the neoprene/velcro strap. Timing chips will be removed and collected as soon as you cross the finish line and any damaged, broken or missing chips will incur a cost of $20.00.
Kids 10 and under Free Fun Trail Run
There is a low key, fun trail run for the kiddos at 930am (about 1 mile). Its free but theres still a registration, which opens at 9am. They get fun stuff and a medal at the finish line as well as a race bib just like mom and dad!
Race Start and Briefing
The half & full Marathon will start at 8:00am sharp on Saturday 13th June. The race briefing will be held at 7:30am at the Start/Finish area. The 5k & 10k will start at 10:00am sharp on Saturday 13th June. The race briefing will be held at 9:45am at the Start/Finish area.
Drop Bags & Cut Off Times for Marathoners
Drop bags will be allowed for marathon runners only. A drop bag section will be available at the Start/Finish area. As this is a 13.1 mile looped course, runners can access their personal items in the designated area before heading out for their second loop (this designated area is in close proximity to the start/finish tents).
All drop bags need to be placed in this area between 6:30 7:30am on Saturday 13th June.
For ALL MARATHON RUNNERS, please note that there will be TWO cut-off times for your distance.
The first cut-off time is 3hrs 30 mins from the start at 8am. ie: No marathoner will be allowed to continue for their second loop from the Start/Finish area after 11:30am.
Final race cut-off will be 8hrs from the start. ie: 4pm.
Based on the course conditions, these are extremly generous cut-off times, and we have no doubt that everyone will make it across the line within the allocated time.
Use of iPods Permitted
This is an iPod friendly race. However, because it is still a trail race with other people on the course (runners, horse riders, mountain bikers, other users) we ask that you use these devices responsibly and be respectful and mindful of your surroundings.
NEW RACE START AREA: Directions and Parking
If you have attended this race in past years, please note that we have moved the start/finish about 2 miles further down Turkey Springs Road, to the Brockover Trail Head.
This is the easiest and safest route the majority of navigational systems will direct you a longer, more arduous and potentially more vehicle wrecking route.
Course Maps
With a new start/finish area we have had to change the course slightly from last year. Good news for you there are no more cow paddocks and more single track!
The most up to date course maps are on the event web page www.joingecko.org/xterraturkeytrack or you can click here to download the map.
On Course Fuel
XTERRA sponsors Gatorade and Powerbar will be supplying on course fuel for this race. We'll also have a variety of runners snacks and water at every aid station. Only marathoners will be able to use a drop bag and this will be at the start/finish turnaround. Aid stations locations and distances are clearly marked on the map course above.
Special notice to 5k&10k athletes
If you are racing the 5k and 10k distances please note that your start time on Saturday is 10am and not 8am with the half and full marathoners.
There is no aid station on course for the 5k distance. There is a finisher aid station. The majority of this course distance is run through ponderosa forest and is shaded.
As an added incentive to book the Quality Inn or Quality Resort during your stay, there is a generous discount of 20% off.
Both links will give the 20% discount automatically when booking.
There is primitive bush camping available at the Start/Finish area.
Fresh coffee at the start line
Higher Grounds Coffee will be providing fresh brewed coffee at the 8am race start.
We are delighted to have Elite Recycling at all our events this year providing trash cans and recycling bins. We ask that you look carefully at which bins you are placing your litter, and recycle where you can!
The long range forecast for Saturday is 70F, with the possibility of some rain in the afternoon. There is plenty of shade around and a tent erected so bring your deck chairs. Also make sure you pack your sunglasses, sun hat and sunscreen for protection, as high elevation sun burns skin easily, even in overcast weather.
Looking after your spectator entourage
Turkey Springs is a beautiful setting but it is far from shops and restaurants. As we only provide aid station food for athletes, please encourage your spectators to pack some food and drinks for themselves as well as a deck chair or picnic rug, and sun protection.
Awards presentations will be at the Start/Finish area during the race at approximately 1230pm however, we will be having an after party and swag giveaway at The Pagosa Brewing Company, on North Pagosa Boulevard from 3:30 5:30pm. There will be complimentary Mexican Dips Bar, Happy hour drinks, a Runners special and $1 from each drink bought goes to GECKO! Please come and celebrate a day on the trails with us.
Therell be race surveys for you to fill out at the finish line and the after party. You go into the draw to win SWAG if you do! Look out for the surveys.
The course is looking fantastic, theres been some moisture which means its not too dusty, and the spring flowers are out in bloom. Youre in for a great day in the dirt.
If you want fun updates and latest news about the race, please keep an eye out on the GECKO Facebook page and Twitter @joingecko - it's where we post photos, videos, and updates!

Burnt Peanuts Recipe
As far as my family's concerned, I can't make this nutty snack too often. In fact, I save pint jars throughout the year as containers for this popular Christmas present.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring, optional
- 2 cups raw Spanish peanuts with skins (no substitutes)
- 1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and food coloring if desired. Bring to a boil over medium heat; stir in peanuts. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes or until peanuts are coated and no syrup remains. Spread peanuts into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; separated with a fork. Bake at 300° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Yield: about 4 cups.

This book is for anyone who wants to learn more about databases in general or MariaDB in particular. Some familiarity with SQL databases is assumed, but the recipes are approachable to almost anyone with basic database skills.
MariaDB is a new database that has become very popular. It is easy to install and use, even on personal systems. It is evolving and expanding to meet the database needs of today, tomorrow, and into the future. MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL it also has a lot of new features and performance enhancements that differentiate it from MySQL. It is also powerful enough to be the database of choice for some of the biggest and most popular websites in the world.
This practical guide unlocks the advanced features of MariaDB's capabilities, including new storage engines, performance enhancing optimizations, and other advanced abilities. If you're looking to backend your enterprise, cloud, or embedded or mobile apps with a fast, free, open source, and familiar SQL database, MariaDB is perfect for you.
We begin with installing MariaDB and configuring it to unlock powerful optimizations that can speed up certain queries exponentially. We will then move on to using the extra storage engines included with MariaDB, such as TokuDB and the CONNECT engine. With those mastered, it's then time to branch out from single to multi-server installations, so we will dive into MariaDB's clustering and replication features, learning how to efficiently search and index our data, work with NoSQL-style data, and connect MariaDB with a Cassandra cluster. It's a dangerous world out there, so last of all, we wrap things up with recipes on securing MariaDB.
This is your ideal guide for getting the most out of MariaDB.
Daniel Bartholomew has been using Linux since 1997 and databases since 1998. In addition to this book, he has also written MariaDB Cookbook, Packt Publishing, and dozens of articles for various magazines, including The Linux Journal, Linux Pro, Ubuntu User, and Tux. He became involved with the MariaDB project shortly after it began in early 2009 and continues to be involved to this day. He currently works for MariaDB, Inc. and splits his time between managing MariaDB releases, documentation, and maintaining various bits and pieces that keep the MariaDB project running smoothly.

Sweet Science: Silver Lake's Sugar Lab Takes Cake to a New Level With 3-D Printing
Kyle and Liz Von Hasseln are changing the world of high-end cake design one topper at a time
Step into the Silver Lake home of the Sugar Lab and it's clear that architects, not scientists, work (and live) here. On the polished concrete floor sits a 3-D printer. You'd mistake it for a Xerox machine if it weren't making sounds like a vintage arcade game as it slowly assembles layers of sugar into lacelike sculptures that seem too pretty to eat: sugar cubes customized with logos for corporate clients and wedding cake toppers in geometric designs.
"Basically we're mixing water and sugar, which is what frosting is," says the Sugar Lab's scruffy cofounder, Kyle von Hasseln. "If you've ever made icing and didn't clean the bowl right away, you know it gets really hard," adds Von Hasseln's wife and business partner, Liz. The two met as high school students in Maine 15 years ago and, Liz explains, "have followed each other around ever since," most recently to the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), where experiments using 3-D printers led them to sugar. In 2011, they dreamed up a business that would revolve around the printer they'd hacked to create edible sculptures. In September they sold their technology to the printer manufacturer 3D Systems, which plans to turn out a version for restaurants and home cooks.
Theirs isn't the first attempt to combine food with 3-D printing, a tool traditionally used by product designers to make quick prototypes from plastic. NASA is researching the feasibility of 3-D-printing food during deep space missions. Fittingly, engineers at Cornell University collaborated with the French Culinary Institute to print space shuttle-shaped scallop nuggets. And last year an NYU grad student gained attention for his Burritobot, which "printed" layers of guacamole, beans, and pico de gallo on a tortilla in proportions determined by iPhone-equipped eaters—a glimpse of fast food's potential future.
But while these experiments could take years to hit real-world kitchens, the Sugar Lab is taking orders for cakes today. Clients pay anywhere from several hundred dollars for an eight-inch composition to five grand for a multitiered one. (The pastry portion is made off-site by a professional baker.) Sugar sculptures function structurally, as edible tiers holding up layers of confections, or ornamentally, as a unique crown. A bride can bring in lace from her dress, and the Sugar Lab will print cake decorations to match it.
"It's brand-new technology," says Ace of Cakes star Duff Goldman, owner of Charm City Cakes West in West Hollywood. Goldman has been working with the Von Hasselns to bring their sculptures to his clients. For one fundraiser Goldman asked the Sugar Lab to print 200 sugar diamonds, which anchored a chocolate mousse dessert. "It's easy to come up with beautiful things you can do with the stuff," says Goldman, "but to make it beautiful and also edible…"
That's the thing: The Sugar Lab's sculptures actually taste good. Pop a printed sugar cube into your mouth, and it's much softer than you'd imagine—crumbly on the outside, creamy on the inside, and it melts, none of which is by accident. "You just have to design that food object to strike all those notes," says Kyle.
The Sugar Lab, Silver Lake.

Sometimes some people have a story or a character in mind and the only thing they need is something that figure out what thay have in mind and if they found a character made by other people , maybe can be what they search ;v;
Sure people can do the caracters by themselve ( and many many people do that >v< ) but sometimes one artist can do the exact thing they are looking for

NEW YORK — Celtics Nation is still waiting for the Jet to take off.
The playoffs are here, and Jason Terry's long-awaited Impact Tour for the Celtics is supposed to take off oh ... about now.
Not so; not after an 0-for-game to start the playoffs that was among the many things that didn't go right for the Boston Celtics in their 85-78 Game 1 loss to New York.
Terry didn't just have a bad night; it was historically bad for the 14-year NBA veteran.
It was the worst shooting playoff game of his career, going without a made field goal for the first time after appearing in 87 playoff games - all with Dallas - leading up to Saturday's Game 1 loss.
Prior to Saturday, Terry's worst shooting game in the postseason came in a 2010 first-round playoff series against San Antonio when he missed six of seven shots in a Game 6 loss that ended the series.
Fortunately for Terry, he will get at least three chances to bounce back with the first coming in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
Throughout the season, Terry shrugged off bad shooting nights as being just one of those things that happens throughout the course of a full slate of NBA games.
But this is the playoffs, when every possession - every game - matters so much more.
This is when Terry is supposed to shine, to justify why the Celtics made acquiring him a priority this summer.
But his struggles continue.
Disappointment was certainly among the feelings flowing through Terry after he missed all five of his shot attempts Saturday.
But discouraged?
Far from it.
Few players inside the Celtics locker room have such a teflon-like mentality to brush aside bad games and not build up great ones, the way Terry has done all season.
"You don't get too high, too low," he said. "It's a long series. If I bet on myself, I know how this will end up so we are just going to keep grinding, keep doing the things necessary to win."
Part of that involves Terry's teammates doing a better job of getting him in position to be more of a scorer, something they readily admit did not happen enough on Saturday.
"When certain guys are on the court, we have to do a better job of getting them open through screens," said Paul Pierce. "Especially when we have guys like Jason Terry ... we have to do a better job with our picks and throughout our offense and allow them to be aggressive and I don't think we did that for the most part."
That's a fine explanation and all, but that doesn't change the fact that Terry, one of the most boisterous players on the Celtics roster, opened the postseason on Saturday struggling to make shots and looking and playing a lot like he did for too many stretches during the regular season.
But he continues to do what Terry does best - remain confident that sooner or later, things will turn around for him and for the Celtics.
"We won't predict anything right now," Terry said, "but I can tell you (Game 2), it's going to be a good game, hard fought like it was (in Game 1)."

Paper Piecing

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Learn how to do paper piecing with this quick and easy tutorial. All you'll need is paper, a light box and a pattern. Design your own pattern for a unique project.
Paper Piecing Video:
- Variety of papers (coordinate colors with pattern)
- Sharp scissors or craft knife
- Saral transfer paper or light box
- Pencil
- Glue
- Purchased pattern or design or your own pattern or design
- Review pattern and select colors and papers that are needed for each piece of the pattern.
- If your paper has a right side, you should trace the pattern onto the wrong side of the paper unless you are using the Saral transfer paper method. Saral's transfer color is completely erasable.
- Trace piece patterns onto paper using Saral transfer paper. Use a light color of transfer paper for dark colored papers and a dark color of transfer paper for light colored papers.
- Another option: Place piece patterns onto light box. Place paper on top of the pattern and using the light source trace piece pattern onto paper.
- Cut out all your pieces. Arrange as the pattern.
- Glue pieces onto your background paper.
- You can enlarge or reduced on a copier or computer.
- Using transfer paper takes away the light box step of tracing the paper pieces, but use a transfer paper that is erasable.
- Make your own patterns from clip art, coloring books or greeting cards. Just respect the copyright laws of the designer or publisher.
- Remember that most patterns or designs can be used in the reverse for 2 page spreads or mirror images.
- If just starting, use simple patterns and designs that don't have dozens of small pieces, then challenge yourself with more complex designers.
- Don't cut out all the pattern pieces from the original pattern. Make a copy to cut up and keep the pattern whole so that you won't lose any pieces to your pattern.
- Use a variety of papers: tissue, mesh, plastic, cardstock, fabric, handmade, vellum, textured, patterned, decorative, heavy and lightweight, and scraps!

Congratulations! You have decided it's time to step up, and get your own home business started! You are ready to put forth the effort to get things up and rolling. You really need something you can do from the kitchen counter, a desk in the corner, or sitting on your sofa for that matter. You don't have tons of time, but what you do have, you're ready to invest in building a second income, or possibly replace your current income/job altogether. Great! But where does one start?
Many people have heard of Affiliate Marketing, and many have a rough understanding of what it is, but most still have questions. Affiliate Marketing is essentially you getting paid by a company for telling someone else about the company's product or service, and that person purchases the company's product or service. Yes, there is a bit more to it, but at it's core, that's it. it's basically the same as your car salesman friend who always gives you a handful of his business cards, and tells you that he'll give you $100 for anyone you send to him that buys a car/truck from him. But now you have the Internet, and a billion+ people to reach out to, not just your friends and family.
Affiliate Marketing is truly a Win = Win = Win arrangement
What's great about Affiliate Marketing is that it's an arrangement where virtually everyone wins. The company who wants people to promote their products and/or services wins because they have people out helping them make sales. The Affiliate Marketer wins because they have a product and/or service they can promote, and know they will be rewarded for their efforts. The person who ultimately buys the company's product and/or service wins because they had an Affiliate Marketer that put the Company's information/links out ther for them to find exactly what it is they were looking for. And the product and/or service they are buying isn't going to cost any more than if they found the company and bought the product and/or service direct [very often affiliate marketing programs offer coupons and discounts buys can't find anywhere else but through an Affiliate Marketer's link]. So, Affiliate Marketing is truly a Win = Win = Win arrangement.
OK, all this sounds great, and you're ready to start. But, are you really ready to start? Would you open up a donut shop if you didn't know how to run a dounut shop? Of course not! So, why do so many people think they can start an online business in 5 minutes, with no understanding of what it is they are doing? To get your Affiliate Marketing Home Business started, you have to have a road map to get there ... some simple steps to help you stay on track to meet and exceed your income goals.
It is going to take some time, effort, study, and organization
First thing you need to understand, is that it is going to take some time, some effort, some study, and some organization to get yourself setup for success. There is no miraculous 'get rich quick' button you can press. That is why we have the 7 Steps to Success. So you have an easy-to-follow guide that will provide you with what you need to; set your Goals, Learn about the Affiliate Marketing business and how it works, how to build your overall Plan, how to drill down on the niches where you want to Focus, put together the Tools you will need to run your home based business correctly, and put all of this into Action.
So, why is Caution Step 7? And why is Caution even considered a step? You might ask ... That's a great question, and here is a very simple answer. Caution is there, because at every step you will want to exercise Caution and good judgement.
Time to set some Goals!
What do you hope to achieve financially by starting your own home based business? Is your goal to earn a couple hundred dollars per month, a thousand dollars per month, or many thousands of dollars per month? Regardless of the amount of income you want to generate from you affiliate marketing business, you need to sit down, and honestly write out your goals. Why is this important? Because you need to have at least a general idea of where you're going, if you want to get there.
For example... Let's say you want to bring in an extra $500 per month working part-time from home. How many hours per week/month are you willing to work in order to generate that much income? How much are you willing to invest in your Affiliate Marketing education and Tools in order to achieve that $500 per month goal? The process of setting goals helps you sort out what must be completed in order to achieve those goals.
Setting goals, even if vague in the beginning, is a huge key to success
"Why is goal setting the first step in the Seven Steps to Success?" You may ask. "Shouldn't it come later?" Well, the reason for setting goals first, is so you can structure the rest of the steps to support your goals. The person whose goal it is to completely replace their income and work from home full-time is probably going to structure a lot more investment into their Tools and how much they Learn, than say, the person who just wants to earn a couple hundred dollars extra each month. It's the same as any business. How big you want to grow, how much money you want to earn, depends, in part, on how much you are willing to invest, and reinvest in your business.
Setting your goals, even if they are rather vague in the beginning, is a huge key to success. Having your goals out in front of you will help keep you motivated, and keep you on track. Many people find it beneficial to write down, in big bold letters their goals, and post them on a wall by their computer, or tape them to the mirror in the bathroom, or hang them on the refrigerator door ... they post their goals anywhere they are going to see them during their day, so they have a constant reminder of what they are working for. I have 3x5 cards all over the place to remind me of my goals, both business and personal. I like using 3x5 cards because they are the perfect size to jot down one or two goals/reminders, and easy to gather up in a neat stack before company comes over.
Setting goals also helps you visualize yourself in the position of having achieved those goals. When you are sitting there with your pen and paper, or on your keyboard writing down your goals, your mind is almost automatically going to visualize what your life will/would be like when you meet and exceed your goals. Think about what it would be like to just to earn enough to cover the cost of all your family's groceries for the month. What kind of difference would that make in your life? Think about what it would be like to generate enough income from your home business to pay off all your debt, pa off your house [or buy one for that matter]. What kind of difference would that make in your life? Whatever your goals are, give them a little visualization time so you can connect/reconnect to the drive and motivation to help you meet and exceed them.
Visualize those goals being achieved and what kind of impact it will have on your life
So, get that tablet and pen out, or open up a new document on your computer and get your goals down on something you can go back and read. Get those goals posted around your house or apartment, so you have a constant reminder to keep you motivated and driven towards success. Visualize those goals being achieved and what kind of impact it will have on your life. This is only the beginning of your goal making. As your business grows, you should be reviewing your goals, and setting new ones regularly so you can track your progress & success.
Now that you have your goals set, it's time to Learn about the Affiliate Marketing business.
I've said it before on this website ... You wouldn't open up a donut shop, if you didn't know how to run a donut shop. So don't go barreling into Affiliate Marketing without educating yourself first! ... Starting an Affiliate Marketing company from home, is not that much different from starting any other business, you have to know what you are doing in order to be successful. No, you don't have to go back to high school, community college, or a university, but you do need to become fully acquainted with how the Affiliate Marketing busines works, what are all of the different ways you can make money, and how do you set it all up so you're organized and prepared for success. Sure, you can go gonzo, skip any knowledge, setup a few affiliate accounts and spend a ton of money on Google Ads. But, you will probably end up spending more on your mistakes than you would have on some quality training.
What you will find is that there are tons of resources out there for people who want to get a home based Affiliate Marketing business started, but you have to understand the difference between the Tools and education. Websites like Affilorama or ClickBank University are great places to sign up for high quality Affiliate Marketing training. They both have multiple options for what level of training package you can choose, both are focused on offering you all the resources you need to Learn different aspects of the Affiliate Marketing business. Affilorama is a more broad-based Affiliate Marketing education, where ClickBank University is focused on how to be successful as a ClickBank Affiliate or ClickBank Publisher. These are very different from an Affiliate Marketing Tool, like Keyword Elite, which is a program for drilling down on the best Keywords for your online advertising [a robust keyword tool is almost essential for niche marketers].
While you are learning about the Affiliate Marketing business, you will have your eyes opened to all the different ways you can generate income. There are people who focus all their attention on social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. Some people start their own blog, focused on a niche where they have unique experience to share. Some people buy up domain names and build/deploy websites to drive their business. Some people want to become a Clickbank publisher, and produce content for other Affiliate Marketers to sell. And most all Affiliate Marketers work to build the biggest email newsletter list possible, as these are folks who already proved they are interested in what you have to say/are sharing, so keep the newsletters rolling, and filled up with affiliate links. The reality is, there are a myriad of ways to get into Affiliate Marketing, and the areas I just mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg.
Ok. Now that you have written down/set some goals, and gotten started with a great Affiliate Markeing Training tool like Affilorama, or ClickBank University, you can start building your plan. Nothing that you start with in your plan is 'carved in stone,' your plan will become a 'living document' that you are constantly updating, adding to, and checking off goals and plans that you have achieved. So, please don't feel like you have to write out some complicated business plan. Simply taking the Goals you set in Step 1, and sorting out the logical steps you need to take in order to achieve them is a great way to get started.
One easy way to setup your plan would be to write down a goal, then add a bullet point list underneath it of all the steps it will take to achieve that goal. Just write them all down as they roll out of your head, don't worry about the order of the steps when you do this the first time. You can always go back and reorder the steps for each goal, and reorder the goals in order of importance. Many folks with start with a pen a paper when doing their first Goals & Plan brainstorming, but it's well worth typing it up in a Word or Pages document so it's easy to edit, update, order, reorder, etc.
Those Who Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail
There is a lot of truth to the old saying ... "Those Who Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail." And there is a lot of truth to it when it comes to getting your home based Affiliate Marketing business started. Life gets busy, and it's easy to get distracted and thrown off course, and that makes having your Goals and your Plan together all the more important. If you take the few minutes it actually takes to set some Goals and sort out the beginning of your plan, you're much more likely to stick to it, because you have already started to invest something more valuable than money into your business ... your time. The money you spend on training and tools is minuscule in comparison to the value of your time. So don't waste it!
In addition to the overall 'business' side of your Plan, what are your plans for your work-space? Do you have somewhere that you can jump on your computer without too much distraction, so you can get through your training, and get your business setup and rolling? If you don't, then it's highly suggested that you find a space that you can define as your work-space, so you can keep yourself organized. Some people will have an extra bedroom, or a desk in the den where they can get to work. For others, it will be a well organized computer backpack, so they can roll to their local coffee shop, grab a cup of coffee, plugin the headphones, and get to work. For others, it's both. ... That's one of the great things about Affiliate Marketing, if you get your business setup correctly, you can easily manage every aspect of your Affiliate Marketing business anywhere you have a computer and Internet connection.
*Take your Goals and steps in your Plan, and post them around your house, so you have a constant reminder of what you are working for/towards. You will be amazed how many times you will feel like lying down in front of the TV, and you will walk by one of your notes, and instead of vegging out the rest of the night like the rest of the people out there whose lives will never change, you will find yourself plowing through training and getting your business setup. Even better ... you will feel better knowing that you were super productive and making your business grow, instead of doing your best impression of a blob of jello on the sofa.
Finding your business Focus can be very easy, or possibly, very difficult. Many people will make their business startup much harder than necessary, because they choose to focus on areas within Affiliate Marketing that they simply don't know anything about. One of the greatest ways to really enjoy your Affiliate Marketing home business, is to focus on subjects that you are interested in. Focus on subjects and niches that will make you want to get to work, because they are something you already know, or are learning about or researching anyway. There is plenty of Affiliate Marketing income to be earned out there, so why wouldn't you want to Focus your business within the subjects you already love.
Finding your Focus also means you can keep your eye on one or two or three segments of the Affiliate Market, and specialize in them. The more time you spend within a specific market, the more experience you will gain, and better advertising and marketing decisions you'll make. This is especially true for anyone who wants to help drive their Affiliate Marketing business with a blog, an email newsletter, or via social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, etc.. There are people out there with extremely lucrative Facebook & Twitter pages, and they use them to drive out the Affiliate Marketing promotions.
There is another big reason to seriously consider the 'Go With What You Know' approach to finding your focus ... Many of you have the goal of replacing your current job with a full-time, work from home, Affiliate Marketing business. If this is you, chances are you want to replace your current job because you don't really enjoy what you are doing for a living. ... So, why put yourself into the same exact position with the markets / niches that you go after with your home business? You are making this change because you want the freedom and opportunity to set your own hours, be in charge of your income, and build a business ... Go with what you know and love, it will make your life a whole lot happier.
The master mechanic has a toolbox. The master woodworker has a toolbox. And you, as a home based Affiliate Marketing business, will need a toolbox as well. Instead of greasy wrenches, and dusty hammers, you will have domain names, email address[es], websites/hosting, keyword research tools, Affiliate Marketing systems, and more. These will be your 'tools of the trade,' and you will end up appreciating them as much as you appreciate the tools you use for everything else in your life [kitchen, hobbies, etc.].
Domains & Hosting
One of the first things many new Affiliate Marketers do, is to purchase a domain name that fits with the niche, or niches where they want to build their home based Affiliate Marketing business [or many domain names depending on how you are going to approach the market / how many niches you want to engage]. Once you have a domain name, you can setup your own email address [example ], and easily launch your own Wordpress or Joomla based website, or use one of the website builders offered by many of the hosting companies.
It's important to have your domain names all with one company. Even though some of the Affiliate Marketing tools and services will offer to manage your domain names if you purchase through them, I highly recommend simply making all your domain purchases through a single company, like GoDaddy, Network Solutions, or 1 & 1. This way you never end up in the situation of going through domain registrar transfer, or any disputes over who actually owns the domain name. You can always point the domain names anywhere on the Internet you want to.
One thing to note about domain names, email, and website hosting ... there really isn't any one company out there that is the perfect solution to all your needs. In my many years of building websites for clients, and my own personal projects, I have split up my accounts based on what each company specializes in. I use GoDaddy for buying/managing of all my domain names & most of my email needs, because they seriously have the best domain name prices, and fastest DNS servers around, and their customer service is excellent. But, when it comes to hosting my websites [and some of my email that I setup on individual website accounts], that's where A2 Hosting comes in, as they have incredibly fast web hosting servers [their servers run circles around GoDaddy & most others out there], and excellent web hosting customer service. So, don't feel like you have to have all of your domain names, email address, and website hosting in one basket. Sure it might save a couple minutes here and there logging in and out of different accounts, but don't you want to utilize the best possible service for every aspect of your home business?
Affiliate Marketing Tools
This is a pretty diverse category to cover since there are so many different types of Affiliate Marketing Tools, depending on what your Focus is on in the business. Since we have already covered Affiliate Marketing Training in Step 2 - Learn, that helps whittle things down a little bit.
One thing that you will hear and Learn a lot about in your Affiliate Marketing training is Keywords. So much so, that you will probably end up having dreams about keywords dancing around in your head. Keywords and keyword phrases drive the categorization, and prioritization of information on the Internet.Virtually everything out there is tagged with keywords and keyword phrases to help describe to humans and search engines what the related content is about. It doesn't matter which niche markets you are going to Focus on, knowing the strength of all the keywords and keyword phrases driving those markets will be key to your success. Affiliate Marketing services like Keyword Elite, Imeye, and SEO Link Monster are dedicated systems to help you maximize every advertising dollar you spend by making sure you are using all of the highest performing keywords and phrases. These Tools can help you avoid costly mistakes, while driving higher profits, due to much more effective content & advertising keyword and keyword phrase use. ... did I mention you will probably end up dreaming about keywords?
Many new Affiliate Marketers [and many long-time Affiliate marketers for that matter] like the convenience of some of the turn-key Affiliate Marketing systems. These turn-key systems give you a ready-to-run platform to get started, that have many of the Tools you will need built in. These turn-key Affiliate Marketing systems can cost a bit more up front, but a lot of new Affiliate Marketers love them because they can launch a turn-key system like Cash Making Affiliate Sites, Affiliate Elite, Mass Affiliate Sites, or CB Passive Income, while they are going through Affiliate Marketing training at Affilorama, or ClickBank University. This can give you the opportunity to get a business foundation started, while you are building your Affiliate Marketing education/knowledge.
Congratulations! It's time to put everything you've done so far into Action! You made the decision to start your own home based Affiliate Marketing business. You set your Goals, so you could also make your Plan on how to achieve them. You picked out and started your Affiliate Marketing training, so you can Learn everything you need to know to be successful. And, you put together the start of your Affiliate Marketing Tools, so you have what you need to run your Affiliate Marketing business. Now is the time to make all these step come together to produce an income at home, and help you achieve your financial Goals.
As you are getting started, don't get discouraged if you run into hurdles along the way. We all have crazy stuff happen in our lives. If life throws you a curve ball, just make sure to get right back to work on your business. Stuff happens, we keep moving forward. If you run into training that you don't understand, keep reading, re-reading, or re-watching the training videos until you do get it. Most of the good Affiliate training, like Affilorama or ClickBank University, have full time support forums and/or support ticket systems to help you any time you stumble. Or, if you pick an Affiliate Marketing method or niche that does't work for you, then don't be afraid to try another Affiliate Marketing method, or enter into a new niche market. You can be successful, you just have to believe in yourself, and keep getting back up anytime you get knocked down. That's just the way life, and Affiliate Marketing work.
One thing I can't stress enough, is the need to make sure you have your Goals and your Plan written down. And, hopefully you will get your big Goals and Plan down on slips of paper or 3.5 cards that you can post around the house to keep you reminded of what you are work for and towards. Sure, your friends may make poke fun at you when they come over and see your notes around the house, but as your business grows, and you become more successful, don't be surprised if you start to see notes around their houses or apartments with Goals written on them. Plus, every time you achieve another Goal, you get to go around the house and post up new Goals. You'll love the satisfaction that comes from knowing you achieved the Goal on that little slip of paper, and that your are now setting the bar for yourself even higher. Success can become addictive.
Last thing I want to touch on is staying on the light side of the Affiliate Marketing business. In the next step, I offer some words of Caution about areas of the Affiliate & Online Marketing world that are pretty shady, and not the type of business 99% want to engage in. So, build your business the right way, the honest way, and stay away from the dark side of the Internet & the dark side of Affiliate Marketing. You will be happy you did, and you will certainly sleep better, because you have a clear conscious.
It does not matter whether you want to open a donut shop, or start an online, home-based business, you have to exercise caution along the way. We all know that there are good deals and bad deals in the world. We all know there are good people and bad people in the world. We all know that with any knowledge or skill you gain, you can take the high road, or you can take the low road. So, it's important that you use discernment as you get started in this business.
One of the bigger scams out there is the Multilevel Marketing [MLM, Direct Selling] business. They pummel the Internet with claims of easy money to be made from home, but never do they mention that in the MLM industry 98% - 99% of the distributors never turn a profit, with many incurring significant financial losses. In reality, it's LESS than 1% of the people involved in the MLM industry that actually earn enough money to quit their regular job - that's a failure rate thats worse than the restaurant business by a magnitude of 10, and opening a restaurant is one of the riskiest businesses you can possibly start.
The MLM companies get you to sign up for hundreds of dollars per month worth of orders for products of dubious benefit you couldn't sell at the swap meet, and tell you to go sell all your friends and family on the latest MLM pyramid scheme. Worse, many of the 'down-line teams' piggyback a stack of their own products and services [auto replicating websites, down-line manager, etc] that can cost hundreds of dollars per month, on top of the base MLM monthly charges. Even worse, once you are signed up with one of these scams, they don't want you promoting anything but their product and pyramid scam.
One of the great things about Affiliate Marketing is that you are in charge of what you promote, how may products or services you promote, and in most cases, how you promote them [website, social media, email newsletter, etc.]. With Affiliate Marketing, you decide how much you are going to invest each month to grow you knowledge, build your Affiliate Marketing Toolbox, and promote your business. You are in charge, not the MLM. Don't fall for the Multi-Level Marketing siren song, these are truly companies that are designed to only profit the very top 1%.
One of the potentially shadier sides of Internet Marketing is Lead Generation. There are, of course, many ways to generate leads for reputable companies, but there are also many ways people generate leads for less-than-reputable companies. Interestingly, or oddly enough, the shadier side of lead generation has many ties to the MLM industry. Not that the dark side of lead generation serves MLM exclusively, but it is definitely where many from the MLM industry go to curn out as many leads as possible, because the MLM industry churns & burns through leads & new recruits like no other. They pop out websites, and immediately sell the information of anyone who requests more information.
In your hunt around the Internet as you get your Affiliate Marketing business up and rolling, you will undoubtedly run into at least one or two of their websites. They will have some vague description of how you can work from home or your computer to make a bazillion dollars, but they will never offer any real details. All they want is your name, email address, and any other contact information they can get from you. So, be careful. Last thing you want is your information getting sold a dozen times over, and people from all over emailing and calling you.
You will be able to identify those 'turn and burn' types of opportunities, if you keep your head on straight. Just remember, there is no reason to get wrapped up in anything you wouldn't want anyone in your own family wrapped up in. If it looks like a scam, and feels like a scam, then it's probably a scam. Don't let their appeals of overnight riches cloud your good judgement.
There are hundreds of different scams out there. So be vigilant. Building up a home based Affiliate Marketing business is going to take a bit of time. But, building anything that will have long-term value normally does take a bit longer than going the shady/scammy route. The scammy folks come and go, because they can only rip folks off for so long before they can't sell anything to anyone anymore. They might make a quick buck, but nothing for the long-term. However, for every one of those scammy marketers, there are hundreds, if not thousands of good, honest, hard smart-working people who are producing an income at home in Affiliate Marketing. Some are making part-time income, many are making great full-time income [for part-time hours], all the way up to the tip-top Affiliate Marketing gurus that are making millions of dollars per year.
If you're going to do this, take your time, do it right.
Affiliate Marketing is probably the easiest home based business anyone can get started today, provided they get the training necessary to learn how to do it profitably. There is no other home based income opportunity that you can get started for next to nothing, learn how to get started online via great resources, and know that there are a zillion niches you can do business in when you start.

A Fluffy Mess by danlevWatch

On my way back from Rochester Institute of Technology, my parents and I stopped in this town, and we were walking by this park area and saw this bird sitting in the grass. It seems to be a baby that fell out of it's nest
It just stayed there. I don't think it knew how to fly.
It just stayed there. I don't think it knew how to fly.
Aww. That is a baby bird. if you notice its head it still has fluff and pin feathers!
aww, poor baby
this is realy fluffy *laugh*
Weirdly enough, this makes me so sad to look at. <3 I hope its ok! Great picture.
Aww! such a sweet capture! very nice details on all the fluffy little feathers. I imagine the adults would help it back to the nest

Alien... Health and Safety by Cakes-and-ComicsWatch
©2012-2016 Cakes-and-Comics
I think this artwork is not only funny and brilliant, but also perfectly executed. The contrast between the "official" and professional look and the funny, crazy idea that is represented creates its winning strenght. The choice of colors is reduced to the essential, to accentuate the "sign" appearance of the picture. I absolutely love the attention to details, as the dirty patina that has been given to the drawing to accentuate the concrete effect. As a fan of the whole Alien saga and having recently fallen in love with Prometheus, I absolutely have to include this stunning artwork among my favorites!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
12 out of 12 deviants thought this was fair.
Xenomorphs... the most deadly hunters
I'd hang this on my wall if I had it.
so awesome
It doesn't get any better than this. Please read carefully, if in the presence of a Xenomorph consider a prayer. Excellent theme *Cakes-and-Comics. Thank you.
He he! I love how the facehugger is scuttling! It looks almost cute
Note to self.... Shotgun.
Nice job
Where the emergancy number! What if I see one out of no where, i might shot it or try to caputer it
That weyland Yutani logo looks almost the same as wumpscut logo.I know its not your custom logo,just making an interesting point out.
Of course they TELL you to approach! XD F**king Wayland Yutani...
i agree with zamboniman why would weyland warn his employees about this...only the scientists would know about the aliens
It was meant to be fun little joke. There is no point in warning the marines about the Alien as they will all die anyway, so kind of like a double negative.
Nice but Weyland Yutani would never WARN their employees. They are the fucking devil
Now this is one cool poster idea.

The Happily Ever After HostelKathmandu, Nepal
Nice place, super friendly staff. They seem to really care out their guests. Nice little sitting area on the roof top. Can use a bit of personality with the decor but overall would stay here again next time I'm in Kathmandu.
Vinayak GuesthouseJaipur, India
It was an amazing experience. I had booked a room but somehow it was canceled. It worked out for the best since there was a spot in the Wifi Lounge that I shared with four other travelers. The room was really cool with hand written comments left by travelers on the walls. You have to stay here when you're in Jaipur. No question about it.
Barcelona Central GardenBarcelona, Spain
The atmosphere at this place was just one of the best places I've been in Europe. The staff was super friendly and amazingly knew everyone's names. Will return here next time I'm back in Barcelona.
LegendsRome, Italy
I'm usually not that picky with hostels but this was not the best places I've stayed at. Had to find a place to stay for one extra night in Rome since my other hostel was fully booked. The only good thing was that it was close to Termini station and the staff was very sweet. The facility could use a face lift.
La Controra Hostel RomeRome, Italy
No joke this place was a great find. Stay here if you can in Rome. The facility seems really new and staff was very friendly. Nothing to complain really. It is tucked in a business area which is nice and quiet but close to everything. Hope they dont eventually push their rates up.
Casa di AntonellaSiena, Italy
Love this sweet little place. Staff was super friendly. Usually stay at hostels but splurged on this place in Siena was totally worth it. Breakfast was good as well as the room.
Emerald FieldsFlorence, Italy
Nice place to stay while in Florence. Not much to complain about. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was basic and clean. Only complaints is more power outlets would be nice and quiet lockers but would recommend.
Ostello S. FoscaVenice, Italy
The hostel is in a nice and quiet residential neighborhood. Close to everything and staff was friendly. Besides that, its a basic hostel. Would stay here again.

I was wondering if it's possible at all having a 404 HTML page for when WP has problems or it's down or it's not available. If so, what do I do so that the HTML 404 page is used ONLY when WP is down and not for every instance?
Ex. At the moment I am using Thesis 2.0 and it has its own 404 custom page which is useful for a "not found" page. But let's say that there is a problem with the database or else and WP is not accessible at all (I guess I'm talking about errors 500, 301, etc.). How do I redirect to my own HTML page in that instance?
I am really desperate to find an answer, if there is one.

Outbound flights at several major airports in the Southwest U.S. were stalled Wednesday afternoon due to a software failure in the Federal Aviation Administration's modernization technology.
The FAA's website noted delays for the L.A. area were caused by a failure in the En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) software, which the FAA says is "the heart of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and the pulse of the National Airspace System (NAS)."
Las Vegas and Salt Lake City airports were also impacted by the software glitch. The FAA lifted the ground halt after an hour of delays.
An air traffic control map on the FAA's site lists delays more than two-hour delays at LAX and more than an hour delay at both Salt Lake City and Las Vegas due to this failure.
Denver International Airport is not experiencing any technical problems, but a spokeswoman said that its outbound flights to the affected airports may be delayed.
"The FAA's Los Angeles Center air traffic control facility experienced technical issues and stopped accepting additional flights into the airspace managed by the facility for about an hour," the FAA said in a statement.
"Some flights were diverted and the agency issued a nationwide groundstop for flights heading into the airspace managed by the center. The agency is gradually restoring the system."
This story will be updated as more information is made available.

Lions turn to Schwartz as coach
Updated: January 16, 2009, 1:38 PM ETESPN.com news services
DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions agreed on a four-year deal Thursday with Tennessee defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to be their coach.
Schwartz will attempt to lead a turnaround for the NFL's first 0-16 team. The Lions fired Rod Marinelli two weeks ago and interviewed several candidates, including Dolphins assistant head coach Todd Bowles.
