Texas – Democratic Mayor Annise Parker has decided she doesn't like what Christian church ministers are saying about homosexuality, same-sex marriage and other sexual orientation issues, according to a religious organization and talk show host on Thursday.
She is now threatening to punish any pastor who does not submit their sermons to her office for approval and possible editing.
Her "legal" pronouncement commands that Christian church pastors must submit all of their sermons, emails, and text messages, even communications with members of their congregations, or face the threat of fines, imprisonment or both.
Dave Welch, the executive director of the Texas Pastor Council, is one of the five ministers who received a subpoena for not following her new law.
He said he will not be intimidated by Annise Parker, who is the city's first openly lesbian mayor, nor will he comply with the city's demands.
"My answer to that is – bring it on," he said.
The new law, which has yet to take effect, would (among other things) allow men who claim to be women to use the restrooms of their choice – and vice versa.
Opponents launched a petition drive to put the issue on the ballot. However, the mayor threw out the petitions claiming there were not enough legitimate signatures. Opponents then filed a lawsuit – which led the city to issue the subpoenas according to foxnews.
Welch said that pastors across the Lone Star State are mobilizing and in the very near future they plan to hold a "Don't Mess with Texas Pulpit Sunday" event.
"We are dealing with bullies used to getting away with abuse of power," Welch said. "We called their bluff on this."
City Attorney David Feldman said that doesn't matter. He said in an interview Tuesday that the five pastors were actively involved in leading the fight against the Bathroom Bill and launching the petition drive.
"They are not party plaintiffs but they certainly appeared before council repeatedly regarding the ordinance and the petition," Feldman said.
Alliance Defending Freedom, a law firm specializing in religious cases, is representing the pastors. They accused City Hall of going on a fishing expedition.
"City council members are supposed to be public servants, not 'Big Brother' overlords who will tolerate no dissent or challenge," ADF attorney Erik Stanley said. "This is designed to intimidate pastors.
Russell Moore, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission called the Houston incident a case of "legal bullying" and addressed it in a recent blog posting:
"The separation of church and state means that we will render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and we will. But the preaching of the church of God does not belong to Caesar, and we will not hand it over to him. Not now. Not ever."
Ultimately, this is not about homosexuals or lesbians or a Bathroom Bill. This is about the U.S. Constitution. This is about religious liberty.
This is about a group of pastors refusing to comply with the demands of the government. And they do so at the risk of being held in contempt of court.

Drobnak Software can save you time. Lots of it.
We love integrating Motec M1 with stock subsystems.
We have successfully integrated with BMW E46 series vehicles, as well as the Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS. Both of these packages will be avilable shortly from the Store. We sell both our custom packages as well as a full line of MoTeC products.Some of the features included in Drobnak Software packages are detailed below:
We have true integration of E85 flex-fuel using the well-known Ethanol Content Sensor. We are one of the few (possibly only) which report both content and temperature, allowing for both to compensate fueling more accurately.
Have a wild setup that really only works as Alpha-N? A good alternative is using a Mass Air Meter, which accurately records the amount of air ingested in the engine, allowing for smoother running characteristics.
We have extensive experience with Bosch based systems, and can get your instrument cluster and other car subsystems receiving the data they expect, quickly and accurately.

[331] will relate something of army life as it was lived after marching orders were received. When the general commanding an army had decided upon a plan of campaign, and the proper time came to put it in operation, he at once issued his orders to his subordinate commanders to have their commands ready to take their place in column at a given hour on a given day. These orders came down through the various corps, division, brigade, regimental, or battery headquarters to the rank and file, whose instructions given them on line would be to the effect that at the stated hour they were to be ready to start with three days rations in their haversacks (this was the usual quantity), the infantry to have forty rounds of ammunition in their cartridge-boxes. This latter quantity was very often exceeded. The Army of the Potomac went into the Wilderness having from eighty to a hundred rounds of ammunition to a man, stowed away in knapsacks, haversacks, or pockets, according to the space afforded, and six days rations similarly disposed of. When Hooker started on the Chancellorsville Campaign, eleven days rations were issued to the troops. Sometimes marching orders came when least expected. I remember to have heard the long roll sounded one Saturday forenoon in the camp of the infantry that lay near us in the fall of '63; it was October 10. Our guns were unlimbered for action just outside of camp where we had been lying several days utterly unsuspicious of danger. It was quite a surprise to us; and such Lee intended it to be, he having set out to put himself between our army and Washington. We were not attacked, but started to the rear a few hours afterwards. Before the opening of the spring campaign a reasonable notice was generally given. There was one orderly from each brigade headquarters who almost infallibly brought marching orders. The men knew the nature of the tidings which he cantered up to regimental headquarters with under

Vitka Eisen: The article reinforced some conversations I've had recently with colleagues. We were reflecting on people we've known who had a good 4 or 5 years of recovery under their belt and then relapsed. What appeared to connect these relapses were folks returning to places that were triggering for them.
John Wanner: We see this all the time. Right now, we've got 74 patients, and at least eight of them relapsed after between 5 and 15 years of sobriety. The article does a good job of making it clear why this happens. I'm going to send it to my colleagues. If we can explain this to patients, they will give more credence to the recommendations we make in treatment.
Eisen: I was left thinking about the challenges related to today's shorter stays in treatment. When Walden House was a therapeutic community, people stayed in the program for 2 years. Now a typical stay is 6 months, with a couple months in outpatient aftercare. That gives us a lot less time to help patients rewire their brain, form new associations, change associations that formerly triggered drug use, learn some stress management skills, and titrate their exposure to the stresses outside the program. Many of our folks need to start new lives from scratch because of the communities they came from and because their friends and family members are all drug-involved.
Wanner: Some of the addiction literature today is pointing in the direction of longer stays. I think that Alcoholics Anonymous recognized that, without knowing the science, many years ago when they came up with the idea of 90 AA meetings in 90 days. What we try to do at Father Martin's Ashley is to give our patients some coping skills while they are in residence and then move them on to some additional treatment, whether it's outpatient, extended care, halfway house, or whatever, because they still need to be in an environment that's recovery-based.
Wanner: We see patients in both of the stages of addiction Dr. Gould describes. Sometimes patients who are still in the earlier stages look at those in the later stages and say, "What am I doing here? I don't belong here. I'm not that bad." We try to tell them that even though they are not yet using every day, not waking up with the shakes, neither were these other people when they were at your stage. We also are more likely to prescribe an anti-craving medication for patients in the second stage.
Eisen: Walden House clients typically are indigent with lengthy histories of substance abuse, often co-occurring disorders, and often histories of incarceration. Most are in the second stage of addiction where they no longer get any pleasure from drugs. However, we used to have a residential treatment program for court-referred adolescents, most of whom were first-stage users. They tended to have lengthy histories, for such young people, of complex trauma, and many serious difficulties in their lives. Drugs often were the best thing they had going on, so it was a different challenge to try to get them to replace drugs.
Interestingly enough, some of our court-referred clients are drug dealers who are first-stage recreational drug users. With them, we try to look at drug abuse together with other behaviors, particularly criminal behaviors, that are thrill-seeking and seem to produce very similar types of rewards in the brain.
Wanner: Dr. Gould's definition of addiction as "a disorder of cognition" and "a disease of pathological learning" is a neurobiologist's view. From a treatment and patient education perspective, Father Martin's Ashley uses the broader biopsychosocial model of the disease, which also focuses on the social, environmental, and genetic factors that influence the neurobiological processes.
Eisen: We assess many things when a patient arrives in our program, but we don't make any formal assessment of cognitive status. That might be useful if we had all the time and resources in the world, but for now, it's more useful to try to understand how our clients learn and what their life challenges are. We can use that information to identify the interventions that will be most effective for them. If we subsequently see that a client has some cognitive impairment, we can recalibrate our expectations of him or her or rework a treatment plan.
We assume that everybody comes in learning in different ways and at different paces. There are auditory learners and people who learn by talking a lot in group. There are those who need to have things written down and others for whom writing is very anxiety-producing. You can alienate clients if you don't understand how they learn best and what they think is the most effective way for them.
Wanner: The neurobiological information is useful for putting to rest the idea that individuals become addicted because they are weak-willed. I use it in a lecture to families, and many of them thank me afterwards and say that they now understand why their family member makes bad decisions about drugs.
Eisen: Given the nature of addiction, we have to strike a very delicate balance with our clients. We say: "You have a brain condition." But, at the same time, we say: "You have choices and the ability to change." The balance between personal responsibility and acknowledgment of a health condition is challenging, and it's tricky to strike it appropriately. We want our clients to recognize that they are faced with challenges that are real, embedded in the brain. But we don't want them to think: "It's not my responsibility."
Wanner: Many of our patients have memory problems. Many of our older patients are fighting not only years of drug and alcohol abuse, but also the normal decline in memory that happens with aging. Some of the problems are drug-specific. For example, lately we're seeing patients come in much more cognitively impaired from marijuana, due to the increasing potency of that drug over the past 5 or 6 years.
Eisen: Some patients are aware that they have cognitive problems. They'll say, "I don't remember the way I used to be able to," things like that. Or they may say, "What have these drugs done to my mind?" Some attribute their thinking problems to drugs, and some don't make that connection.
Wanner: Patients don't remember where they're supposed to be, what they heard at a lecture, or what assignment they're supposed to do. In those cases we try to have them write things down. If somebody's having serious memory issues, we'll try to hook them up with a buddy or ask the group members to help them. These problems do improve during treatment.
Eisen: We also post lots of visual cues—staff names and charts of who does what, schedules, sayings, and slogans that help reinforce the treatment environment. Memory typically may start to improve, maybe, 3, 4, or 5 months into treatment. At that point patients are starting to feel better, more capable. They're creating relationships with friends and preparing or already in a job search. There's a general cognitive improvement that occurs as part of a complicated interaction among drug use, withdrawal, abstinence, and mood. Many of our patients have co-occurring mood disorders, and depression of course has an impact on cognition.
Wanner: This is an area that could use some research. Some of the rehabilitation of patients with brain injuries already uses computer simulations, but to my knowledge, there's not been much work applying that approach in the addictions field. Cognition-enhancing medications also seem to hold promise.
Spiritual practices can actually start to re-regulate some of the neural dysfunction that takes place as a result of addiction. We're not talking about religion, per se, but encouraging clients to live as good people and get more connected to their lives in a positive way. In some manner, this spiritual work, which can include prayer or meditation, starts to re-regulate defective neural circuits and compensate for some of the cognitive deficits that addiction causes. Spiritual experiences can eventually replace some of the powerful negative memories associated with the drugs and give people a reason to stay abstinent.
Eisen: I think that we aim for the same end, which is creating other kinds of reinforcing experiences for clients so that they can practice sentient abstinence, if you will. Our focus is really on creating positive relationships among the clients as a group and with family members (if they are able to participate), staff, ex-residents, church groups, and 12-step programs. We focus on maintaining healthy relationships that are positively reinforcing for clients.
Wanner: Much of what you just said about positive relationships actually falls in the purview of what we would consider spiritual experiences.
Eisen: Dr. Gould's section on prenatal exposure to drug and alcohol abuse is especially interesting. I'm not sure that the field has recognized how many of the people we see as adult clients were prenatally exposed to drugs and alcohol. We have to learn how to work with what may be some pretty significant deficits, impairments, or learning challenges. Historically, we thought about the social environment of being raised in a family with addiction but less about the organic impact of being prenatally exposed.
Wanner: I've probably worked with at least three or four father and son pairs over the years, and we have also had grandparents, parents, and children come through here. I can't really say that we see cumulative increases in cognitive deficits from one generation to the next, as Dr. Gould's text might lead you to expect. We don't measure for that, per se. However, the addicts who come in today, especially the young ones, are different from those of 10 years ago. There is a much greater variety of drugs available, and we are seeing more cross-addictions.
Eisen: The clients we see today have a much higher level of acuity than 25 years ago, in terms of severity of addiction and the amount of co-occurring disorders. We speculate on the reasons. Prenatal exposures might be one, and the cumulative impact of multiple generations of addiction and alcoholism, as well as the policy of incarcerating drug abusers, may be others.

We are all busy as we live in a new era where everything around us now travels at terabyte speeds and time is not our friend. It is not forgiving, it won't give you anymore than you have and it can take it away at any moment. Now enough sad talk. With how limited our time is, we all need to find slots in our day to save a little of that precious time for ourselves. I know it seems like there isn't enough of it, but I promise if you manage it right, you can always find an hour a day for yourself.
During this hour you can do anything you want, but whatever you choose to do, make sure it is something that will make you happy and healthy. Whether during that hour you hit the gym hard and release stress, meditate, do yoga, or just find a quiet place to unwind, it is important to find that time for yourself. Stress is one of those bullies that will beat you down, making you feel terrible and won't go away until you stand up for yourself and take control of your life. One way to do this is by setting aside that hour once a day for you.
So let's do this, write out your average day by the half hour block and see what you come up with. I bet you can find a free hour whether in the morning, at lunch, or at night. It is there, you just need to find a way to create it. Get creative if you need to. If your schedule is that busy that you can't find one hour, start with a half hour. I promise within a week of doing this, you will find the benefit and eventually find a way to block out an hour. Now go ahead and do you. For once, focus on yourself. Do what will make you happy!

Report: Guns Send 20 Children to Hospital Per Day in US
The number amounts to almost one child or teen seriously injured by a firearm per hour, Common Dreams reported.
Of the 7,391 hospitalizations analyzed in 2009, six percent resulted in a death, according to the researchers at the Yale School of Medicine which studied the most recent statistics from ER rooms across the US.
WebMD reports that more than half of the gun injuries involved an attack on the child, but nearly one-third were unintentional, the investigators found. (Others were of undetermined causes or from suicide attempts.) Three of four hospitalizations of children younger than 10 resulted from accidental injuries.
"That every day, 20 of our children are hospitalized for firearms injury, often suffering severe and costly injuries, clearly shows that this is a national public health problem," says Robert Sege, director of the Division of Family and Child Advocacy at Boston Medical Center and a co-author of the study.
"The safest home for children and teens is one without guns," said Sege.
USA Today reports researchers analyzed a nationally representative sample of discharge data collected on children and adolescents (up to age 20) in 2009. The data, released in 2011, are the most recent available, Sege says.
The study detailed a significant racial gap, Black children and adolescents comprised 47% of all hospitalizations, 54% of hospitalizations resulting from assaults, 36% from unintentional injuries and 54% from undetermined causes.

Rest and Renewal set by Taylored Expressions to make her a card. I love all of the scriptures and sentiments in this set, and they're all done in such pretty fonts, too.
I used Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 101 for my card. I started by stamping the verse, Isaiah 40:31, onto Choice Snow White using Wisteria chalk ink. I cut it out with Classic Oval Nestabilities and layered it on the purple panel. The patterned paper is from the BasicGrey Kioshi collection...some remnants from last year's Taylored Expressions Easter Key Ingredients. I'm really good at making my TE kits go a long way! I finished my card off with a couple Tiny Twinkles, a bow, and a button.
On a personal note, here's an update on our home renovations. The flooring is almost finished. They were short five pieces and had to order more! The countertops are in production and should be ready in a week or so. All of the furniture has been picked out and ordered. We are almost finished! I am so happy and excited about our little home! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Cardstock: Bazzill, Choice Snow White

Four states in the country — Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Punjab — have announced farm loan waivers amounting to almost half-a-per cent of the country gross domestic product. HSBC's Pranjul Bhandari and Aayushi Chaudhary estimate that it may go up to 0.75 per cent of GDP if other states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan also join the waiver bandwagon. Much has been written on how farm loans waivers may be not be the panacea for rural distress, and that it may end up destroying the credit culture and end up hurting the states' ...

As we all know the attire can kill or fix an impression because it is the first impression that counts. The interviewer s first judgement would be based on your smart appearance. It is important that you dress in the best attire you are comfortable in to present yourself at an interview. Don't be shy to get a second opinion about your choice of attire from someone you know for it will help to look good at your best. You need to keep in mind that this is not a fashion competition instead a place where you need to market your skills and noesis to stand out in the crowd.
Remember that apart from the look good factor, personal hygiene is a very common factor associated with attire. In addition cleanliness would also reflect on your personality. Incessantly make sure that you choose your job interview attire the night ahead as well as try fitting them on e.g. some attires would have looked good few months ago but when wearing them now may not necessarily give you the satisfaction. Avoid using deep and aromatic perfumes or scents as this may put off some people, it s advisable to stick to something very gentle.
Your hands and feet too are important part as this may easily attract the interviewer for instance if your wear bright red nail polish which may not seem quite professional in a place of work. Wear fresh socks and make sure that you smoothen your shoes as these small things attract a lot of attention. For guys, it is important to tuck in the shirts properly.
Job Interview Attire for Women
Use office colored clothing such as navy blue or grey
Skirts should be worn in a way that you can sit comfortableHair should be worn in a professional style
Properly trimmed nails
Moderate jewelry to suit a professional image
Moderate use of cosmetics and fragrances
Attire For A Job Interview for Servicemen
Official colors to be chosen for e.g. navy blue, black or grey
Shirt should be long sleeves and should coordinate with the suitBelts should not be fancy or eye catching ones
A neatly knotted tie
Socks should be clean and dark
Shoes should be leather and polished
Hairstyle should maintain professionalism and avoid using too much gel
Clean or mild shaven
cleanliness of finger nails
Jewelry should be limited without going into much detail
Invariably keep in mind the job interview costume should match your personality and involves to bring out the fullest in you on your D-Day.

We gave it a C+
This dour quasi-documentary spotlighting the great punk group the Clash (released to coincide with Epic/ Legacy's excellent CD compilation The Clash on Broadway) is the anti-Hard Day's Night in almost every respect, including overall entertainment value. Shot in Britain in 1978, Rude Boy centers on disaffected, reactionary Clash fan Ray (Ray Gange), who occasionally works as a clerk in a sex-book shop and whiles away his leisure time playing snooker with skinhead pals, looking dopey at riots, and incoherently arguing politics with Clash singer Joe Strummer. An opportunity to roadie for the band seems to promise better things, but Ray discovers life on the road to be even more numbing (and ultimately humiliating) than his usual tedious existence. This very slight narrative is stretched out for more than two hours, punctuated by Clash performances that range from inspired to shamefully sloppy but never dull. The same can't be said for the rest of the movie, which is so languidly paced and loose-ended that when Strummer barks, "London's burning with boredom now!" you believe him. C+

Now that you've taken the time to carefully select a target market, it's time to make some important decisions on how you'll make money by serving your target market. Making money can involve many choices, but let us boil it down to 6 basic choices to make things as simple as possible.
As your business grows, you may incorporate more than one or even all of these models - but make things simple on yourself by choosing one model to start with.
When we say "start from scratch", this means you would make your own product or service to sell. For example, if you are an artist or crafter you might make your own products and offer them for sale. You might also invent a product that you have manufactured.
How Long & How Much Money Does it Take?: If you develop a physical product that you will ship in the mail (ex. candles, cell phone accessories), you will likely need more start-up cash and will have to invest more time to get started. You will also have to consider your time and required storage space continuing to develop, package and ship products.
Services in all kinds of areas are in high-demand. Whether you are looking to provide your bookkeeping services, career counseling, travel planning or other services...there are many possibilities for setting your office up online.
How Long & How Much Money Does it Take? If you develop a service, it's easier to get going quickly. For example, If you're a resume writer, it's as simple as setting up your website and then promoting your service.
However, realize that when you sell a service, you will be "trading your hours for dollars". This means that you will only get paid when you are actively working for clients. If you sell a product, your income isn't so limited by your time as you aren't being paid "per hour".
One thing is for certain, one of the main reasons people use the Internet is as a source of information. In many cases, people are willing to pay for quality information that helps them solve various problems, accomplish goals, etc. You can cash in on this by selling what are called "information products."
Simply put, information products are courses (they can be as simple as a downloadable 8-page written report or as extensive as full library of DVDs) that usually teach the user how to do something. You can create ebooks (digital written documents), audio recordings or video recordings that teach a certain subject. Your customers order from you and then they download the products off the Internet. There is no need to ship or manufacture a physical product…it can all be done automatically on the Internet unless you want to ship DVDs, books, CDs, etc.
How Much Time & Money is Needed: Information products can take time to develop, but your time investment is often a one-time only thing. You can invest this time yourself or hire writers, videographers, etc. to help you with the process.
Once your product is complete and your website is ready, you can start accepting orders and your customers will automatically download your product. Yes, there will be maintenance and customer service to deal with, but the business is not time intensive and there's no need to go to the post office at all!
If you don't have (or don't want to have) your own product or service to sell, you can market someone else's products through affiliate programs. With an affiliate program, you are paid a percentage of sales that are made when you refer someone to a company's website. You are given a special referral code that you place on your website so the company can keep track of the sales you send to them. The company develops the products, fills orders and provides customer support.
There are plenty of companies online (big and small) that offer affiliate programs, so there is no shortage of things to sell. Companies like Amzon, eBay and PetCo all have affiliate programs. If you go to any website, just look for a link to "Affiliate Program" or "Referral Program" and you'll find information on how you can become an affiliate for that company if they offer such a program. There is no charge for signing up for an affiliate program.
You could, for example, set up a website that included information about breeding cats. Then you could recommend products from PetCo (or other companies too) and earn a commission when you send them a sale. Commissions very from 5% - 50% and higher. Products with large overhead (ex. Physical products that are shipped out) tend to have lower commissions and information products tend to have very worthwhile commissions in the higher ranges.
How Long & How Much Money Does it Take: This is likely the least expensive and quickest to start online business. All you need to do is create a website that draws in targeted traffic and then you make product recommendations through your affiliate link.
Marketing with affiliate programs is also a good way to get your feet wet with a particular target market and understand what types of produts they buy...and they don't buy. That way, when you're ready to develop and/or sell your own products, you'll already have a good idea of what to provide to your target market.
If you feel you need more structure and support, joining a Direct Sales Company is an option. There are hundreds of direct sales companies available offering everything from cosmetics and skin care to kitchenware, home décor, craft products, and dietary supplements. Usually independent representatives sign on under another representative or sponsor who will provide information, marketing materials and support to get you started.
Traditionally, we think of like Tupperware, Avon and companies like that when we think of direct sales. But things have come a long way and there companies that allow you to sell children's toys, pet products, clothing, candles, jewelry and more.
Direct sales reps usually work for a commission (usually between 20-40% -- with a large number offering 25%) and are subject to the rules set out by the company, in terms of online selling. So, definitely check into the rules before signing up with any company.
How Long & How Much Money Does It Take? Start-up costs vary from company to company. You will likely have to purchase a "kit" that contains product and marketing materials. You will also have to process orders and deliver product unless the company has an online ordering system already available (recommended).
Many direct sales companies will provide you with a ready-made website. Everyone who is marketing the product will have a website that looks the same and in most cases cannot be modified except by the company. While these websites are usually good for processing orders, they are not suited to developing searching engine traffic and establishing your uniqueness in your competitive market.
To really be able to market yourself online, we recommend that you create your own web presence. It will allow you to reach a very focused target market and establish you as unique in your industry. For example, if you're going to sell home décor online, you want to be able to draw in targeted leads to your website. You want to offer home décor tips and information – and recommend your products for sale on your ordering site.
If you don't want to develop your own products, you can resell other people's products. You can buy them at wholesale and ship them out from your home. Or you may prefer the ease of having somebody dropship the products for you. Dropshipping means the company from which you buy wholesale does all the shipping for you. You just take the orders and submit them to the dropshipping company as you get them.
Just like companies that offer affiliate programs, you'll find many that offer wholesale programs. Search around to see if you can find a wholesaler for the product you want to sell.
How Long & How Much Money Does it Take: You can get started relatively quickly with selling wholesale products. You need to find the products you want to sell and develop your website to sell them. How much money it will cost to get started, depends on whether you pre-purchase inventory or if you choose to dropship. Realize that you will have a higher profit margin if you pre-purchase inventory because the company you work with will likely give you a better price.
Over time, your business will likely come to incorporate more than one business model, but take it slow at first for a couple of reasons:
1. Always take a focused approach with your online business and introduce things slowly, so you can test and improve your results before adding more workload and responsibility to your plate.
2. It takes time to understand your target market and what they really want. Offering a few products to start with and growing your selection as you have a deeper understanding of their needs is always the smartest route to take.
To decide on what you should do now:
Read through your options again. Consider your personality, time and financial constraints in making your decision.
For example, if you are on a strict budget and are working full time outside the home, you might consider something like direct sales or affiliate marketing. However, if you don't like being tied down to strict rules and want full creative license with your business, you might skip the direct sales as they tend to be more strict on how their representatives can market their products.
Or if you're a terrific writer and are knowledgeable in a subject you've discovered (through your target market research) could be very profitable, you might choose develp and sell your own information product.
Ultimately, you want to choose the best fit for your own unique self. Once you've decided, do you research to find a small offering of products you can start selling.
Now that you have your target market chosen, know what business model you're going pursue and have found some potential product offerings, let's talk about selecting a domain name for your website.
Not Sure if You Can Build Your Own Website? Of Course You Can!

The Tundra Buggy® Lodge, located in the heart of polar bear country, offers a unique, immersive experience where guests can fall asleep and wake up with polar bears right outside their window and, on a clear night, the northern lights dance above, unhindered from the lights of town.
The Lodge consists of two accommodation units, a lounge car, a dining car, and staff quarters. Outdoor viewing platforms connect each unit and allow for outdoor photography. Situated far from the lights of town, the Tundra Buggy® Lodge is the perfect place to view bears all day long and have optimal northern lights viewing at night (weather permitting). The Lodge is also equipped with exterior field lights that enable us to continue watching the bears even after the sun goes down!
View the inside of the Tundra Buggy Lodge on Google Streetview.
The accommodation units, named Hearne & La Perouse after two important figures in Churchill's history, consist of upper and lower sleeping berths, each with a window, a reading light and four 110-volt electrical outlets. Each berth houses a standard twin-sized coil mattress (74.5" long x 38.5" wide; 201cm x 98cm).
A sound-dampening curtain provides privacy by separating the berths from the aisle. To combat the naturally arid conditions on the tundra, our accommodations are humidity controlled. As well, each berth is equipped with a thermostat controlled heating unit, giving guests the ability to adjust the berth temperature for their comfort.
Bedding and towels are provided for your comfort. In addition, each accommodation unit has three bathrooms, two of which are equipped with showers.
Find out what it's like to sleep among the polar bears.
View the inside of the accommodation units on Google Streetview.
Our new lounge car, named Thanadelthur after another important Churchill figure, was introduced into the Tundra Buggy Lodge fleet in 2016. It is used for relaxation, presentations, wildlife and northern lights viewing and more. Thanadelthur has WiFi accessibility, a multi-touch SmartBoard screen, and a robust audio system. Guests are invited to mingle over wine and appetizers before dinner, socialize, play cards or board games, and read. After dinner, enjoy presentations by the staff and wildlife experts who join us at the Lodge, including leading researchers from Polar Bears International. Thanadelthur is also a great place to swap stories and share images. View the inside of the previous lounge car on Google Streetview.
Thanadelthur includes panoramic views from the wall-to-ceiling windows. It also has a roof-top viewing deck for a 360° view of the tundra and wildlife or an unobstructed view of the northern lights.
Below is a photo captured from the rooftop observation deck.
Our Tundra Buggy Lodge dining car is where you will find our Lodge chef Jared cooking up a storm of regional cuisine and hearty home-cooked favourites. Enjoy a filling breakfast to prepare for your day of wildlife viewing on the tundra, and a delectable dinner with fellow guests to end off a successful day.
Breakfast may consist of hot and cold cereals, muffins, fruit, toast, pancakes or eggs. Lunch will be a picnic-style lunch of soup and sandwiches served on the Tundra Buggy. Dinner can include anything from chicken, to bison lasagna, fish or pasta and regional cuisines such as elk and arctic char. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and juices are available throughout the day. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated at the lodge with prior notice.
View the inside of the dining car on Google Streetview.
Experience the warmth and comfort of the Aurora Lounge during our northern lights adventures in February and March. We are the only company that transports guests via Tundra Buggy across the frozen Churchill River to the Aurora Lounge which is positioned away from the lights of town for northern lights viewing.

Your 10 Favorite Race Bikes!
There isn't one bike to rule them all. The current crop of bikes out their are so close in power and weight that its almost like going shopping for your favorite color dirtbike. But we asked you which were your favorite and here's your top ten!
10: Husaberg FS650
Image Source: Video Astronomie
Unfortunately Berg's will be no more, but that doesnt mean you can't snag a used one up. These are some of the fastest supermoto's you can get and are a ton of fun to ride on the track!
9: Suzuki RMZ 450
Image Source: Suter Clutch
These are fairly rare bikes, atleast in the USA. Pulling into the pits here your welcome to a sea of red, orange and green. It's nice to see the 'zuk get nominated!
Source: Devon Vermeulen
I love the TM's, as do some of you obviously. These are true works of art and it is a crime against all SM riders that these are not more common. They are extremely popular in Europe and have been said to be hands down the best bike you can get on if your looking to win.
7. Aprilia SXV
I may be a bit partial to the SXV (That beautiful beast pictured is mine) but I didnt nominate her dont worry, my votes dont count. These bikes are some of if not the fastest supermoto bikes stock although they come at the price of weight. They have quite a few more pounds on any other bike and boy can you tell. That said I would never get rid of her, shes just way too much fun.
Source: Supermoto Addict
Want the power of a berg 650 or sxv 550? Want something as light as a 450? If you answered yes to those questions this is the bike for you. Fast and light, this KTM was a force to be reckoned with in the unlimited class.
Source: Travin Wiley
The KXF's are very popular bikes. They handle great and have a ton of power. They can very easily be front runners bone stock. In all honesty the KXF is one of my favorite bikes that I have ever ridden.
4: Honda CRF 250
Image Source: Lucas Oil Ireland
This is a pretty great choice. The CRF's are extremely dominate and currently the points leader for AMA Supermoto is riding aboard one of these!
3. Husqvarna SMR
One of your favorite riders, Sean Butterman, rides a SMR so it was no surprise to see this up on the top of the list. These are great bikes with a ton of power and handle really well. Anytime I get the chance to hop on a husqy I take it. The husqy always seems to put a huge grin on my face!
2. Yamaha YZF
Source: Mike Hill
Honestly this one surprised me a bit. I didn't think the YZF's were that popular with most riders but I can see why. I rode a Yamaha in Mettet last year and it handled like a dream and was a breeze to back in. I even hear the 2015 models are pushing out the most HP stock!
I don't think this was much of a surprise to anyone. One of the only supermoto bikes you can purchase in the USA in race trim and a true force to be reckoned with bone stock, the KTM SMR is your favorite race bike! Look for a review on a special KTM race bike in the next week too ;)

Democratic mayoral nominee Dan Horrigan says his campaign is still working hard, despite the success of other Democrats in the past.
"You always work hard. You don't take anything for granted. Nobody gives you anything, " Horrigan tells WAKR.net. "You've gotta go out and earn it, and that's one of the great characteristics of the city...we've earned every everything that we've had. Nobody gives us anything."
Horrigan faces challenges from Republican Eddie Sipplen and Independent Bill Melver. The city of Akron historically leans heavily Democratic, and has had a Democratic mayor leading the city for the past 30 years.
There are more than 20,000 registered Democrats in Akron, compared to more than 2,800 that identify themselves as Republican, according to the Summit County Board of Elections data. There are over 99,000 voters who identify as independent.
Horrigan says his campaign's efforts on the ground proved to be an important tool, saying candidates have to understand the voters' needs and concerns. "This campaign has always been about issues," Horrigan says. "And it's about the voters. It's not about me, and it's not about the other opponent. It's about what they (voters) care about. Because that's what elections are for."
Akron will elect a new mayor for the first time in nearly 30 years next Tuesday. Early voting through the weekend hours at the Summit County Board of Elections, 500 Grant Street, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday; 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday. Precincts will be open the usual times for in-person voting on Tuesday.
Sobriety checkpoints are nothing new in Summit County, but the timing of the next one is interesting.
The Summit County OVI Task Force says it'll be out on Saturday night - which is Halloween night.
Lt. Joe Davis with the Task Force says the kids out, and drunk drivers, could be tragic...with the children preoccupied with trick or treating.
"They may not think to look both ways, to go out and start on the roadway. And if you're impaired, your reaction times and your ability to operate your motor vehicle is just not there," Lt. Davis tells WAKR.net. "It could just be the perfect formula for tragedy."
Lt. Davis says many communities will stick with the traditional October 31st date for "beggar's night", so there'll be a lot of kids looking for treats.
And he says their parents risk becoming victims to impared drivers, who don't arrange for a designated driver or stay away from the steering wheel.
The Summit County OVI Task Force doesn't publicize checkpoint locations in advance, though Lt. Davis says word spreads fast enough by social media.
Akron police hope a surveillance video will lead them to an armed robbery suspect.
Police say the Dollar General on South Arlington Street near Arlington Plaza was robbed at about 10:30 on Wednesday morning.
They say the robber stole money after pointing a gun at the clerk.
He's seen on this surveillance video supplied by APD.
Anyone who can identify the robber is being asked to call the Akron Police Department's detective bureau at 330-375-2490.
A candidate for the Akron School Board pleading earlier this week to an OVI charge.
Former Akron council member Ernie Tarle pleaded "no contest" to the charge stemming from a June arrest in Boston Heights. Police reports noted Tarle was driving a car with expired plates. Tarle told the Beacon Journal he had been visting a friend in Cleveland and had a couple beers. The newspaper reported Tarle refused a Breathalyzer test after failed a field sobriety test.
Stow Municipal Court Judge Lisa Coates assessed a $1,000 fine and court costs, with $600 of the fine suspended.
Tarle is one of eight candidates seeking a seat on the Akron School Board; the top three winners get the position.

(Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) AKRON, Ohio, October 29, 2015 – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company today reported record results for the third quarter of 2015.
"We delivered outstanding earnings growth in the quarter and segment operating margin of more than 14 percent, overcoming macroeconomic challenges in some of our key international markets," said Richard J. Kramer, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our strong momentum in North America continues. The business grew its segment operating margin to more than 16 percent and achieved a 54 percent year over year increase in earnings driven by strong demand for our highvalueadded products," he said.
Kramer added, "Our third quarter results demonstrate continued sustainable earnings growth and our sharp focus on disciplined execution of our strategy in both strong and challenging markets. With our strong yeartodate performance, we now see fullyear segment operating income tracking to $2 billion, which would be more than double what we achieved just five years ago."
Goodyear's third quarter 2015 sales were $4.2 billion, down from $4.7 billion a year ago, with the decrease largely attributable to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $430 million. Tire unit volumes totaled 42.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, up 1 percent from last year.
Original equipment unit volume was up 4 percent. Replacement tire shipments were flat. The company reported third quarter segment operating income of $599 million in 2015, up 15 percent from a year ago and a record for any quarter. The increase was driven by favorable price/mix net of raw materials, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.

LeBron James is branching out as a TV producer - producing a new NBC game show.
"The Wall" will star Chris Hardwick of Comedy Central's "@Midnight", and be produced by LeBron's SpringHill Entertainment.
The ten episode game show will air in primetime on NBC.
LeBron says in a statement that "The Wall" is "different than anything on TV right now" and is a show families can watch together.
(NBC/SpringHill Entertainment, news release) NBC has named actor, comedian, author and TV personality Chris Hardwick as host and executive producer of the network's new 10-episode primetime game show series "The Wall."
From NBA superstar and global icon LeBron James' and Maverick Carter's SpringHill Entertainment and Glassman Media, this unique network series will feature two-person teams that are bonded together by family, friendship or life experiences. They will compete for life-changing amounts of cash that can be won or lost in an instant, depending upon whether a ball bounces your way, or a trivia question is answered correctly.
Teams of deserving competitors will can range from a close knit father and daughter duo, to a wife and her heroic Marine husband who upon returning helped his trusted translator become a U.S., citizen, and to a churchgoer who gave her car to a woman so she wouldn't have to walk long distances.
Like life itself, the game is unpredictable. A ball will come down a wall made up of a field of pegs, with each row offset from the previous row. At the bottom of the board are slots marked symmetrically with monetary values.
If one member of the team answers a question correctly, the ball turns green and the team will earn cash based on the value of that slot. If the question is answered incorrectly, the ball turns red and the team will lose cash based on the value of the slot.
"I'm excited about this series because it's different than anything on TV right now. It's got everything — excitement, drama, and action — and it's something the entire family can watch and root for together. I believe Chris Hardwick brings all of that together in a really entertaining way that people will enjoy," said James. "For SpringHill Entertainment, it's about creating quality and innovative content for all types of audiences, and I'm proud of the exciting projects we continue to be a part of."
Said Hardwick: "I love game shows, and partnering with LeBron James and NBC to potentially give away millions of dollars to people who deserve it is an incredible opportunity. (I'm sorry, NBC, I'm hoping to give away a lot of your money.)"
"'The Wall' is a bit like life, it rewards people who are both smart and lucky. It's a game that's had us on the edge of our seats, and Chris Hardwick is a brilliantly witty and warm host," said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment.
"The Wall" was developed by Glassman Media in conjunction with CORE Media.
Hardwick is founder and CEO of Nerdist Industries and hosts the extremely popular Nerdist Podcast, which garners over 5.8 million downloads per month. He also hosts the Emmy Award-winning Comedy Central series "@Midnight with Chris Hardwick" and hosts the Emmy-nominated "The Walking Dead" discussion show "Talking Dead," now in its fifth season on AMC. He continues to perform stand-up to sold-out audiences as part of his 50-city Funcomfortable Tour and lends his voice as Craig in the Nickelodeon animated series "Sanjay and Craig."
"The Wall" is a collaboration between SpringHill Entertainment and Glassman Media with James, Hardwick, Carter and Andrew Glassman serving as executive producers. Other groundbreaking SpringHill projects include Starz breakout series "Survivor's Remorse" that has been renewed for a third season, Disney XD's inspirational series for kids and families "Becoming," and an upcoming reality series for Esquire Network.
Glassman Media was founded by Andrew Glassman following his successful career as an Emmy Award-winning investigative broadcast journalist during which he appeared on-air at NBC News, CNBC, MSNBC, WCAU and WNBC. Glassman's credits include NBC's hit "Average Joe," whose first season finale attracted more than 25 million viewers and the critically acclaimed "Three Wishes" also on NBC.
Will Johnny Manziel be ready to play - if needed - for the Browns this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals?
There's a little matter of the NFL coming to talk to him about that incident with his girlfriend on I-90.
Coach Mike Pettine won't give the exact date of the meeting between his backup and the league, but it will happen soon.
"I'll put it this way, it's imminent," Pettine told reporters at his Wednesday press conference. "There's a sense of urgency to it, and that meeting is imminent."
Coach Pettine says he doesn't know at this time if Manziel will be available Sunday if needed. He's been taking first-team reps this week.
Starter Josh McCown is still nursing a sore shoulder, but Pettine says he's "day to day" and could start on Sunday, even missing practices.
The man convicted in the fatal shooting of Akron police officer Justin Winebrenner was officially sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus an additional 65 years, Wednesday morning.
Judge Alison McCarty followed the jury's recommendation last week to sentence Kenan Ivery, 36, to life in prison over execution.
"You will never again walk among us as a free man," said McCarty.
Justin Winebrenner's father, Rob Winebrenner, was the first of many family members and friends to give a victim impact statement before Ivery's sentencing.
"Finally, I want you to know as a parent, I am content standing here as a proud father of a hero that is no longer with us, knowing the last good deed that Justin did as a police officer is getting you off the streets forever."
Ivery shot and killed Winebrenner during a fight at Papa Don's Pub last November and also wounded four others. Ivery claimed it was self-defense when he pulled the trigger. He walked back into the bar with a gun after he was asked to leave.

Southwest Airlines is going to be pulling back flights at Akron-Canton Airport.
The airline's cuts in mid-April include not only all Florida flights, but a new flight to Las Vegas that will start next month, and end just a few months later.
CAK senior VP Kristi Van Auken says they're disappointed with the cuts, but Southwest is not leaving Akron-Canton Airport entirely.
"They're going to be down to three trips a day to Atlanta," Van Auken tells WAKR.net, "but that does access more than 100 destinations in the Southwest network."
Van Auken says Southwest is looking closely at former AirTran cities.
But she says the other airlines at Akron-Canton are growing, and those flying to Florida have Allegiant Air as an option.
The Southwest flights being cancelled will still fly from CAK through April 12th.
Akron police recovered 23 guns and thousands of prescription pills during a traffic stop Monday.
Police say they ran a random registration check on a vehicle parked in a Romig Road nightclub, and picked up warrants on the vehicle owner on charges including outstanding warrants to include drug abuse marijuana, obstructing official business and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Akron police say they peeked into the car, saw ammunition, and took the driver into custody after being told there "might be" a rifle in the car.
Officers then found 23 guns, holsters, ammunition, marijuana and and a number of prescription medications.
Of the 23 weapons inside, police say two were confirmed stolen, and they're checking on the other 21.
Ryan Peltan of Doylestown and Derik Snell of Rittman (pictured: courtesy Akron Police Department) are facing a list of charges.
Get ready for a mouthful; The Akron Children's Hospital Akron Marathon Race Series Marathon, Half-Marathon and Team Relay will become the Akron Children's Hospital Akron Marathon Race Series Marathon, Half-Marathon and Team Relay presented by FirstEnergy. And that's a good thing.
It may take a few breaths to get the name out, but it does show the deep level of support and backing one of the premier events showcasing Akron enjoys locally from the Akron business community. Two of the business community's heavyweights reinforced that message as Bill Considine, CEO of Akron Children's Hospital and Chuck Jones, CEO of FirstEnergy, teamed with Akron Mayor Jeff Fusco and Akron Marathon founder Steve Marks to announce the event's new sponsorships.
Akron Children's Hospital stepped in last month and FirstEnergy signed up as a presenting sponsor, something the Akron-based utility wanted to do before Time Warner first led as presenting sponsor in 2003. Jones said the utility sees the sponsorship as continuation of what it's done giving back to the communities it serves across it's five-state footprint.
"Our headquarters is here, this will always be our home, it's been our home for over a hundred years," Jones said. "Akron's a great community...I'm proud of the growth that it's seen, how it's transformed itself from the rubber capital of the world to a vibrant city."
Considine is a key player among Akron's corporate and community leaders.
"We're pretty excited about it. It unites the community," Considine said. "It's a national event...we're a national hospital, seeing patients from all 50 states at Akron Children's Hospital. An event like the Akron Marathon shows the community cares." Considine called Akron a "champion city" and said the Marathon is an "image builder" for Akron.
"The Akron Marathon has always been about community, and we're extremely happy one of the largest employers in Summit County has stepped up," said Marathon founder Steve Marks.
The Akron Marathon drew more than 20,000 participants during it's events in 2015 with events including the full marathon, half-marathon, relay and other races.

(Akron Marathon)FirstEnergy Corp. has signed a three-year agreement with the Akron Children's Hospital Akron Marathon Race Series to serve as the presenting sponsor of the Marathon, Half Marathon and Team Relay held each September. The announcement was made Tuesday at a special event at Cascade Plaza in downtown Akron.
FirstEnergy replaces Time Warner Cable, which had served as presenting sponsor since the Akron Marathon's inception in 2003.
"The Akron Marathon has always been about community and we're extremely happy one of the largest employers in Summit County has stepped up to become presenting sponsor," said Steve Marks, Akron Marathon founder. "At the same time, we'd like to thank Time Warner Cable for being a great partner for the first 13 years of the event."
Headquartered in Akron, FirstEnergy has more than 15,000 employees who serve six million customers across six states.
"We're thrilled to partner with Akron Children's Hospital to increase our sponsorship of the Akron Marathon," said Chuck Jones, president and CEO of FirstEnergy. "This race has become a nationally-respected event, both because it's so well-organized and because of the tremendous ways this community has embraced it. Many of our employees and customers run, volunteer and cheer for this event every year, making this a perfect fit for FirstEnergy."
FirstEnergy has been a major sponsor of the Akron marathon since its inception in 2003.
The inaugural Akron Marathon featured 3,775 participants and has grown to more than 14,000 across the weekend's events. The marquee event generates more than $6 million in economic activity and generates thousands of dollars more in contributions to countless charities.
"FirstEnergy has been a longtime partner of Akron Children's Hospital, and we are delighted that they accepted our invitation to step up to presenting sponsor of the marathon as we become the race's title beneficiary in 2016," said Bill Considine, Akron Children's Hospital president and CEO. "We are grateful to FirstEnergy and all the individuals and organizations who are so civic-minded and make Akron such a great place to live."
Known as the Akron Marathon Rubber City Race Series in 2015, more than 20,000 runners participated across the three events. The series dates were developed to help guide runners through a typical training schedule leading up to the marquee events. The 2016 events will be held June 25 (8k & 1-Mile), August 13 (Half Marathon & 10k) and Sept. 24 (Full Marathon, Half Marathon, Team Relay & Kids Fun Run). Registration is scheduled to open this winter.

redesign a pair of masthead graphics
Budget $30-250 USD
I attached two files here - they are red bars that are used at the top and at the bottom of our website. We need them to be redisgned to look 3d - same red because it our corporate color - but we would like a shiny, 3-d, eyecatching new look. Perhaps looking like wet plastic or glass.
We also need to have a row of buttons that we can place below the bar. We only need 7 of those and they can have different colors or can be different in another way or can evebn be the same. We will need to have two versions of each button because we will set the website so that these buttons chnged to their alternate when the mouse passes over them.
There is a website as the logo - it shows "Uny" followed by '.com' When you do the design please make it so that we can change the name Uny to the real name ourselves later. The '.com' part can be a fixed part of the graphic, as we will never need to change that text.
If you like, the result can be a photoshop file - we use Photoshop CS4, so the version you send u must be that version or earlier.
If you send us a Photoshop file then the web URL ("Uny" etc) can be in a text layer or layers that we would be able to change ourselves in Photoshop.
Many thanks and good luck!
Here are the buttons we would need:
