These Love Miss You poems are examples of Miss You poems about Love. These are the best examples of Love Miss You poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Every now and then
I come to you
a climbing jasmine
through the window
of your heart
a perfumed smile
beneath your sheets
a sweet scent
in waking thoughts
an empty porch
of swinging dreams
Every now an then
I come to you
a hush-hushed whisper
on a restless night
a drop of sunshine
on winter lips
a tender touch
upon bare shoulder
a yearning moment
in ardent kiss
Every now and then
I come to you
a melting snowflake
upon your lash
a silent breeze
tickling your cheek
soft gentle wind
behind your ear
a vivid memory
a vision gone
a lingered breath
which once was here
(revised and reposted)
When my final shadows cling on desperately
Where I fight formidable battles
to merely hold the light
I send you loving vibrations
and soul sustenance
Deep from the cathedral
of one heart to another
where today no choirs sing
nor symphonies play
Yet it is here where we meet
in spiritual solace
here to surrender
and exchange inestimable treasures
recollecting memories
like unopened letters
Galaxies are stretched
over chronicles of shared history
Nebula birthing stars
will be exposed
in forth-coming conversations
bringing short-lived fulfillment to you
Hungry to feast
now will be the time
to approve your blood art vision
and with my own haunting surrender
as dappled shades ink stain your chest
I will reside with you and share, mesmerised
pens - by branding
as this will be your written reams to me
your artist's pallet or brushed canvas
no need for words
and yet creating
mysterious magical moments
Bitter-sweet the music
that dances taut guitar strings
but now blood approved
please go kick your heel up
return to your laughter
and ride on the breeze
for not all are lost
change not
for I am with you always
to love, listen and comfort as one
with you in me and I in you
as masterpiece
Winds may howl,
Wild animals growl,
The forest grows cold,
For I am lonesome and old
As the sun peaks through the clouds,
I hear your soft, young voice so loud!
And though you speak dead man's lines,
You speak them with majesty divine
As I am wrapped in my woe,
I only want you to know...
...that roses die black and violets lose blue,
But I will never die
And you know I love you!
Soft and tender a precious gift you were
never a day I missed to kiss your
dimpled cheeks , or hold your litlle hands
flowers, little buds that held a promise
of a gentle touch or warm embrace.
I know your face your crooked smile even your feeble cry
I knew you love of my life
but did not know your were here only for a time.
You knew me too I could see it in your eyes
sparkling gems that flashed when you saw my face.
Now you've gone to a place far away, to your home in the sky
from whence you came and stayed a little while.
Another angel I have now, this one I know so well
I'll always remember your smile, and dimpled cheeks
your busy hands and little feet.
My guardian angel you've come to be
one I was blessed to meet... to know.. to embrace ....to love...
now I know you came not to stay only to make my acquintance and I yours
My heart is sad for I miss you so my infant child
wish you had stayed awhile.
How I cried when you left and though my tears have now dried
I will always miss you though you stay by my side.
You are my special Angel the one I know best
the one I have held, loved and known, better than all the rest.
Just to let readers know. I have not lost a child. I simply wrote this poem for all
who may have lost such a precious one.
My heart is frozen back in time
Looking back to when you were mine
Oh how our love and passion burned
You stole my heart, yet now I'm spurned
I still don't know where I went wrong
My body aches - for you I still long
You drove an ice pick into my heart
Twisted it round and tore me apart
You ripped apart my very soul
I'm empty now, when once was whole
Your words were music to my ears
I'm left in silence with my deepest fears
If we could have another chance
Would I take you back for sweet romance?
I look at our photos and still I yearn
For you the frozen embers still burn
Written for Gail Angel Doyle's Contest
He romanced with his words.
Serenaded me with his song.
Enchanted we drove around the city.
Amidst the willow trees,
The moonlight held our vows.
With the serene surrender,
I had my love found.
With the autumn breeze,
Our love faded.
There was to be no retrial.
Our balance had been destructed.
Our candy house went stale.
Looney Zia, still clutches her veil.
Another rainy stormy night,
nothing will ever feel the same.
Thunder makes me fear with fright,
Theirs no way to call your name.
To be alone is no delight,
here I am alone with shame.
It runs trough me like day and night,
lonesome here for playing my game.
I wish you where here to hold me real tight.
Forgive me for I am the only one to blame.
A darken rainy stormy night!
Here I whither away in the BLACK RAIN!
In that selfish moment I did not realize,
all I was doing was causing myself pain.
You took and shook me with a big surprise!
And, showed me that my cheating had nothing to gain.
With you in distance I lose my self,
sitting all alone in the BLACK RAIN.
Please stop the pain, its my love I want to gain.
Tears from me you wouldn't take.
It was my fault to take the fall.
It does not mean my love to you was fake.
Without you I feel real small.
The hurt runs deep~Deeper than a lake!
The hurt runs high~Higher than the tallest wall!
The hurt is heavy~something you can't shake!
The hurt is like a mystery~you can't solve at all!
How these cloud posses my days,
I have no one to blame
If I knew exactly what to say,
I would not be feeling all this pain.
is here to stay!
I have lost what took long to gain.
please go away!
I want my lover to come back my way.
inspired by: Rain Rain Go Away.... :)
Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013
I am who I am because of him
He's the reason for my son's name
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn't easy
Stand for the ones who can't
To think and fend for myself
I'm my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I've been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I'm my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter who
Work for what I want
I'm my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone
I got it from him
I'm my Daddy made over
Even though he's gone
I'll stand and continue on
I may stumble I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I'll pick myself back up
I'll dust myself off and stand tall
I'm honored and proud to say
I'm my Daddy made over
Sabrina Niday Hansel
I'm tired
I'm Physically and Emotionally tired
I don't want to be the strong one anymore
I can't this time
I don't know what to do Daddy
I need your help down here
I can't get back in control of my emotions
I'm having a hard time dealing with your absence
I'm having a hard time standing by myself
I need your help Daddy
I'm broken and lost without you Daddy
I need your will to want to carry on
I need your strength to over come this
I need your strength to stay standing
Your courage to fight back again
I need your help
Please Daddy I'm at a loss
How am I suppose to do this
I need your guidance
I need you to guide me back
To whom I was before
I need your help Daddy
I need your help
I miss you dad every single day
The wonderful Times I remember
Are the times we spent together going
To dinner and church
The times I will cherish always on this earth
Your gentle ways and smiles and hugs
Made Life worthwhile for this is true
Forever you are missed in my heart and soul
But the forever is Heaven and you are there basking
In the Light of the Lord
I miss you dad and loved you so much
But eternity is yours to no longer hurt
Cancer is what took you far too soon
I am always remembering your hugs and
I loved you so much too.
Eternity is there for you now and forever
Remember I love you and Kisses from here
to you in the forever they call Heaven from earth

I thought some of you maybe interested in this...
quote:January 8, 2013One of the best programs for creating photos with a tilt-shift miniature effect. You can find a lot of applications that claim to apply similar effect to images, still most often the algorithm is improper, e.g. they use Gaussian blur instead of much more complex Lens (optical) blur which produces an effect identical to real bokeh; or they apply semi-transparent overlay, using wrong type of transition from focused to blurred areas, etc.Tilt Shift Generator renders the original image pixel-by-pixel with the highest accuracy. This utility offers additional settings thanks to which the result images compare well with photos taken using high-priced tilt and shift wide angle lens.

Have you tried it? I read the reviews and looked at the thumbs up and down, and it didn't seem as if it was particularly anything that was all that different.
Thanks . . .
I gave it a shot. Nothing to compare it to, but it's pretty simple and gets the job done. I'll post an example in a bit (remind me if I forget).
Played with it a little and does some interesting stuff, but not near the same variety as what you would get on a true bellows sheet film box camera and physical lens shift/tilt.--

Well its name would imply it. At least to anyone that actually knows what the terms mean. And their description alludes to the fact it can undo the the perspective needle effect of shooting tall buildings, but haven't found an image to test that on... KW is a little lacking for skyscrapers. --

-After failing to come to an agreement on a contract (word was they had offered him Kevin Bieksa-type money) the Vancouver Canucks dealt Christian Ehrhoff and his negotiating rights to the New York Islanders. It's assumed that the Isles will need to throw a substantial offer at Ehrhoff, while Vancouver gets a fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft.
-The Pittsburgh Penguins have made an offer to free agent forward Jaromir Jagr, and an answer is expected from Jagr's camp later today. With the announcement of a healthy Evgeni Malkin and working-out Sideny Crosby, the Penguins have begun to concentrate on adding to the wings. Pascal Dupuis also agreed to a two-year, $3-million deal.
-As reported here yesterday, Brooks Laich re-upped with the Washington Capitals for six years at $27-million. The Carolina Hurricanes re-signed Joni Pitkanen to a three-year, $13.5 million deal, while Marc-Andre Bergeron re-signed with Tampa Bay for two years at $2-million total. Carolina may have also come to terms with Chad LaRose on a two-year deal.
-While many were shocked it didn't happen, it seems like today is the day that the New York Rangers will buy out Chris Drury's contract. The former Captain has even acknowledged as much.
-Former Canucks' defenseman Barry Wilkins has passed away from Lung Cancer at age 64.
-Initial reports are that Florida has come to an agreement with recently acquired Tomas Kopecky. It's apparently a four-year deal worth $12-million.

Tell Khaiber 2014
The further adventures of Tell Khaiber are on Facebook
And on Twitter @EaNasir
The further adventures of Tell Khaiber are on Facebook
And on Twitter @EaNasir
It will soon be time to resume work at Tell Khaiber. Preparations are in full swing. One major headache - how to fit a full-size team into the dig-house at Ur - has been hugely eased by a generous gift of 'containerised housing units' from the British Embassy, and the equally generous transporting of them by the wonderful SKA.
After the standard shenanigans - delay getting the trucks into the Green Zone, delay at the Nasiriyah check point - they eventually arrived in the dark, which made photography more difficult. Our kind friends and colleagues at the Italian Mission to Abu Tbeirah, currently in residence at the dig-house, took these snaps for us anyway.
Luckily Health and Safety were not involved, as the cabins swung over the wall, with close-up direction from one intrepid lad……
…… and plenty of advice from Ghani and everyone else…..
… and finally both landed safely.
And they we are! Four big tin bedrooms, each with a little bathroom - if we can get them connected up to water and drainage. And electricity, as they don't have any windows. But if we can borrow a cutting instrument, we can soon take care of that. Each will be home to at least two archaeologists from January. If anyone near Nasiriyah has second-hand furniture to spare, please let us know!
No time to lose - with Jaafar Al-Jotheri at the University of Durham last weekend. His work on ancient river-courses and ours on the settlement of Khaiber will inform each other.
On the way home - the beauty of Istanbul
Ms Wussal Na'im Jasim, Inspector of Antiquities for Thi Qar, checks the handover register against the finds with Ali.
Dan winding up the recording. The Toughbook computers stayed the course, and the rolling tobacco just lasted out too.
Adrian does some group shots of the figurines
Fay makes some final checks on a wall. It sits a little lower than the plaster floor inside the room it bounds, as only the lowest courses are preserved at this point.
The first field season is over. More rushed, more exhausting, and definitely much hotter than would be ideal, but a triumph never the less. To the team, Iraqi and British, a massive 'Thank You' for all your patience, dedication, skill, hard work, and sheer grit. I confess to being slightly surprised, and rather touched, that you all want to come back next year, but - yes, please. To our supporters, financial and logistical, an equally massive 'Thank You' - and please come back next year too! Your names are recorded at www.urarchaeology.org/supporters/ and none of this would have happened without you.
The finds are all safely handed over, the site is secured and the guard briefed, and the bridge has been removed to discourage unscheduled visits. A sad sign of the times, and we have confidence in the local residents to look after the place, but we need to take every precaution.
Thanks to our stubborn insistence on electronic recording - it was so tempting at times to reach for a nice, simple piece of paper - we do not have masses of records to carry home. Most of our equipment can be stored at Ur, and, speaking for myself, the clothes I brought are not worth taking home. I'll be lucky if they make it to Istanbul. But there's still the University's total station, and its tripod, and enough other stuff to be awkward. The fabulous folk from SKA come to pick us up, and whisk us away in air-conditioned cars to their airport camp at Basra to spend the night. So it's hot showers, a good supper, and only a few yards to check-in next morning, rather than a 4.30am start and a game of sardines trying to pack into Raheem's taxi.
Istanbul seems almost unreal after so many weeks of monotone scenery, and we muse about how Ur and Khaiber might have looked in spring in their hey-day. Our little hotel is built into the side of an ancient hamaam, covered with wisteria. I hope Iraq can come up with tourist delights like this one day soon. Because all the other rooms were taken, we booked a two-room suite, which is just as well, because Turkish Airlines declined to book the luggage through to Birmingham, so we are sharing with the total station and associated paraphernalia, which completely fill one room. Archaeology and holidays don't go together very well.
Highlights? Number one is the great co-operation with our Iraqi counterparts. Beyond anything I expected or even hoped for. There is so much to build on now. Second, the site exceeded expectations too. The building is discoverable, the archaeology is near the surface, the salt isn't too bad, there are tablets ….. And who would have thought we would get into the Washington Post and the Daily Mail? Just hope we can convert all this good will into funding for the future. Downside? Missing the January start date was a major drawback, but we got the basics done. Also, the security arrangements were restrictive, but we understand the reasons. Just wish we could get the escort up a bit earlier - 6.00am is when excavations start in the morning! By 8.00 the best photographing light is gone, and the wind is getting up.
Lots and lots to do. All the records are to be incorporated into a GIS (Geographical Information System), so that everything is integrated, and the details of what has been found where are easily accessible. Too many archaeological results languish as card catalogues and rolls of plans, and are never made available to the public. This is everyone's heritage. We need to develop the training component of the project - perhaps as a formal field school for Iraqi students. Experts of different kinds need to be engaged, and lots more links and contacts made, so we can make the most of this terrific opportunity. I could do with advice from my old colleagues in Germany and the US as well as in the UK. Many Skype calls lie ahead.
Fay puts up with no nonsense - not from Luay, not from anyone. Sitting down in the trench is not good practice.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?

Doctors and nurses were very surprised to learn that this healthy, active 33 year not only had a blood clot but was nearly killed by the PE. It turns out that there is a family history. Charles has made it a personal crusade to spread awareness of the signs, symptoms, and dangers of blood clots.
His experience with strategic planning will be a valuable asset to NBCA. Charles graduated with a B.S. in Sport Administration from Stetson University in DeLand, Florida and currently lives in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida with his wife Meaghan and son Michael.

Cubs Select C/OF Kyle Schwarber At No. 4 Overall

Sports Fan Insider
(CBS) — The Cubs selected catcher/outfielder Kyle Schwarber of Indiana University with the fourth overall pick in the MLB First-Year Player Draft on Thursday.
"Kyle has been one of the premier performers in the college ranks the last few years," Cubs vice president of scouting and player development Jason McLeod said. "He displays what we look for in patience and power at the plate. He is a high character guy we think teammates will rally around."
A Middleton, Ohio native, the 21-year-old Schwarber had a combined batting average of .341 for the past three seasons with the Hoosiers. This past season, he hit .358 with 14 homers and 48 RBIs.
In 2013, he was selected as the best catcher in the country by Perfect Game and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.


text: T'was the best of time, t'was the worst of times. Last week's 2-2 record was certainly acceptable, but the losses with both Baylor and Illionis were a little disapointing. 23-26-3 is not terrible, but given the start to the season, it may be a bit of a let down. Hopefully a Thanksgiving fueled set of picks will lead to a big week!

A Handful of Stardust Review
Patrick Kavanagh-Sproull gives his verdict on Jake Arnott's Time Trips story.
The word-count of the Time Trips series has been something rather odd. It's flexible, clearly, because past instalments have ranged in length, from just over 20,000 to just under 10,000 – it's a sizable difference. Either BBC Books have been inconsistent in fixing word limits for the authors or the authors haven't been able to churn out all that much (if I wrote a Doctor Who book it would be thicker than the Bible and a dictionary combined).
This month's author, Jake Arnott – whom I hadn't heard of before this series – has a very succinct story lined up for us. He picked the Sixth Doctor and Peri duo and decided to drop them into the sixteenth century (quite the contrast from Salt of the Earth, which was set in the near future). The result is passable, amiable fun but it's one of the most transient e-books I've ever read.
That's probably not the best compliment to pay Arnott but his story just isn't all that memorable. It isn't dull, Arnott keeps everyone on their toes but the villain(s') – who I will refrain from naming largely because it's the biggest surprise in A Handful of Stardust – scheme is wholly unconvincing and the supporting characters are pretty standard. This is excluding the two historical figures Arnott has decided to throw into the mix: John Dee and Thomas Digges.
No bells ringing? Well, I was in the same position as you before I sat down to read A Handful of Stardust but then after a bit of research and exposure Dee and Digges' work is engrossing. He was an adviser to the Tenth Doctor's missus, Elizabeth I, an astrologist, an occultist, an alchemist and an imperialist. It's safe to say he was quite a dark fellow, reading from the history books that is.
Arnott portrays Dee as an affable, occasionally uppity man with a thirst for knowledge, who doesn't actually question the TARDIS' vast interior and who warms to the Doctor quickly. The pair are very similar, even continuing a joke about them both being doctors and Arnott himself said that Dee would make a good Time Lord.
The Doctor is well written, too: he's buoyant, lively but there aren't any shades of his occasional fury, his capriciousness. Still, it's definitely Colin Baker's incarnation there so that's a plus. Peri, on the other hand, is almost overdone. Peri was never too American. Yes, she had the accent (courtesy of Nicola Bryant, born and bred in Guildford) but that was about it and her origins were rarely touched upon. Arnott adds a bit too many American colloquialisms to Peri, not making her especially true to the character in the television series. However, her background is explored a bit more. Back in America Peri was majoring in botany but that fact was brushed under the carpet quickly in the TV show. Here, Arnott drags it back out with good reason and there are some nice reflections made by Peri. She also hits off with Thomas rather quickly and he starts to go about moony around young "Perpugilliam".
The alien threat isn't really tangible and the resolution is a simple matter of pressing a button and throwing a few switches so this is what lets A Handful of Stardust down in the end. Good characterisation of the Doctor and Peri and interesting antagonists are let down by a substandard plot and a duff resolution.
Verdict: 6.5/10
Next month we have Cecelia Ahern, an authoress known for her romantic novels, so it'll be interesting to see how she tackles the Tenth Doctor. With a background such as Ahern's will Rose be the companion? Who knows, it's only a month away.
As with my 11 Doctors, 11 Stories reviews, I thought I'd list each of the Time Trips series from best to worst (although they've all been good in their own little ways):
- Jenny Colgan – the Eleventh Doctor – Into the Nowhere.
- Nick Harkaway – the Tenth Doctor – Keeping Up with the Joneses.
- A.L. Kennedy – the Fourth Doctor – The Death Pit.
- Trudi Canavan – the Third Doctor – Salt of the Earth.
- Jake Arnott – the Sixth Doctor – A Handful of Stardust.

I'd switch 3 and 4 on your list at the end, but otherwise agree with it so far.
Thanks for the review. The plot sounds unpromising, so I probably won't like this e-book, but I'm planning to read all the Time Trips regardless, because on the whole this series really sounds interesting.
John Dee, eh? Haha, just two days ago I've finished reading the novel Birthright, where the main villain was taking up different alias and appearances throughout Earth's history, with John Dee being one of them, in his ever-unsuccessful quest to capture the Doctor's TARDIS! Dee warming to the Doctor and not trying to take over his TARDIS in this e-book creates a little bit of a continuity problem, but, hey, who cares? I've dealt with far worse conflicts.
(By the way, in the end of the abovementioned Birthright there is a scene where an implied future Doctor ends his conversation with the current Doctor with the words "Who knows, Doctor? Who knows?" And this is already the fourth reference to the novels that I counted in The Day of the Doctor.)
Pity about the resolution.
here's hoping Colin Baker or Nicola Bryant are asked to do the audiobook, should one come along.
I've never heard anyone use the word authoress before
I really have enjoyed this series. I just wish the stories were available in non e-book form! Also, I thought each Doctor only got one story. 10 gets two?
Sounds very interesting. Thank you PK-S for this review!
@Gustaff I've always thought of the actors doing an audio adaptation of "Prisoners of Time". Imagine how nostalgic that would be.
@Ninjauthor I quite like it. It's a bit dated and I've had a look around and it's not derogatory so, well, you learn a new word every day :-)
"The term exists but it's considered "old-fashioned, sexist and patronising", as it says in my dictionary".
So I guess it is a word after all... Whodathoughtit?
@Meh Meh Meh Meh Meh A hardback version, collecting all the stories in the Time Trips series, will be published in November. :)
@Meh Meh Meh Meh Meh I thought the same. But the authors were told to pick their favourite Doctor and write for him and if Nick Harkaway and Cecelia Ahern both like Ten, I don't really see the harm in it. Better to have them both write comfortably then have them poorly depict a Doctor they are not all that keen on. Joanne Harris, later in the year, is writing for the Third Doctor and we've already had him before, too. I do wish One, Two, Five, Seven, Eight and Nine had their own respective stories, however.
@Creepy_Ghoul @GustaffI'd like that very much. Get Pete Walsh to do Ninth Doctor.

I am in Orlando at a convention and developed some pain and swelling. After calling dentist after dentist, reached Orange Dental and the sweet and understanding voice of Kristina.
I was seen the same day in a very professional office with knowledgeable staff and dentist.
My follow up 2 days later was effortless. I am leaving well taken care of and ready for my flight home.
The dentists and staff were exceptional. Real concern and wanting to help was awesome.
I'd like to relate the results of my bridge work done by Dr. Shrager, after one to two weeks of some mild discomfort the bridge work became so unnoticeable that it felt like they were natural teeth that always belonged there. Whenever I chew my food there is nothing that feels unnatural as I enjoy my meals. For the first time in decades I can chew uniformaly and without the slightest discomfort or manipulation of food within my mouth. Again my thanks to Dr. Shrager on the superb bridge work preformed.
Thank You!

Anything we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job….Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service." –Fred Rogers

It's official that part of online survival kit entails the keeping of an up to date mailing list in all forms of product or service engagements. Picture this, with an Opt-in list you get to enjoy the benefits of free advertising from targeted customers who are ready to purchase your product (If you don't spam 'em). Let's face it, marketing overheads are already unbearable these days, and having an opt-in list that can put money in your pockets when you're broke or had a bad marketing experience can be very rewarding (This can happen to any experienced marketer). Someone sent me an email inquiring about whether its possible to build an opt-in list without a website, well I decided to share my knowledge here, hope you enjoy it and comment if you like this post!
What is an Opt-in list? – This is a mailing list whereby a subscriber is required to agree to be receiving emails from a certain mailing source, usually rendered through some form of action such as ticking a checkbox on a form while subscribing to receive some incentives or newsletter etc.
Why Do You Need An Opt-In List In Your Online Enterprise? – Experts say that it takes an average of between 5 to 7 times for an average person to buy something, that shows you the amount of engagement required in terms of launching aggressive marketing campaigns, constant communication with subscribers, offering of incentives in order to get the first sale. The sad thing is that the customer may not always buy the product, but you don't just toss them like that as they become leads or prospects to your business.
These leads together with other customers who bought the actual product will be part of your opt-in list that might save you in the future maybe when you get a product that arouses their interest. Maintaining this list is not always easy as you will have to pay for domains, autoresponders, hosting etc therefore there is the need to have a clean list of targeted opt-in subscribers. As an affiliate or any marketer you need to identify the reasons why you need an opt-in list in the first place, check below.
Top 5 Reasons For Having An Opt-In List
1. Consider this as a low cost engagement with your opt-ins that might just generate capital for potential sales and more leads generation in the process
2. This is your security (If you behave yourself) whether you have money or not, they're your safety net
3. Through your opt-in list is the fastest and cheapest way of getting a message across, maybe you have a product launch, upgrade etc they can help you spread that message to their friends, colleagues which generates even more subscribers towards your course.
4. You will never spend money promoting a product to them even if it's not yours, you enjoy the fruits of the campaigns you set up years ago for FREE!
5. You perfect your business and products or services when they tell you the reasons that they don't like the product / service or prefer another one instead.
How do you build an opt-in list without a website?
Well this is a topic with lots of technicalities involved but I will try to simplify it as much as possible. I so agree that it's not necessary to have a website to earn money online although a website offers greater marketing advantages that I will not discuss now.
The first step in building your opt-in list without a website is that you will need an autoresponder, sorry no buts. :-(
Step 1: Autoresponder
This is a tool (usually software) that answers or responds to incoming emails with pre-written messages to subscribers. This software is not as simple as the description makes it, with it you can create squeeze forms (Forms used to capture subscribers details) that you can put on top of any website and receive opt-ins directly to your data store located in the autoresponder.
You can arrange an automatic one-way customer conversation with this tool until a customer responds to some action which makes work easier. There are other integration technicalities involved for specific actions, but let's stick to what's important for now.
So an autoresponder software will let you create squeeze forms (some even lets you create squeeze pages) and don't get me wrong I know that there are softwares that create squeeze forms, squeeze pages and even landing pages if you have a website for the mailboxes etc. That's why our focus is without website aid.
Finding An Autoresponder That Meets Your Current Needs
You can shop around for the best autoresponder, such as listwire which is the only service that's currently offering totally free autoresponder services (good for people who don't mind ads during opt-in registration- but only happens once with each customer).
Listwire are actually rolling out their free service and when you do register with them, you can mind the support thing for a while until they're fully settled and the good thing is that they're never down and their system is so easy to use that a baby can work it. You can sign up with them at listwire.
Alternatively, you can use Aweber which is the most popular autoresponder in the market today due to its pocket modest services, excellent user interface, above 10 year experience and their popular $1 signup for the beginners going for a whole month (with no opt-in ads). You can signup with them at Aweber. This I believe is the oldest autoresponder in the market, and so many internet marketers like Mike G. have been using it, meaning that they know the dynamics of online marketing (we're talking about the dot com revolution) and getting access to their marketing tips is a golden opportunity. There are other autoresponders in the market that are good as well, but the chief reason as to why the vast majority of marketers have opted to use Aweber is because of the marketing oriented system they offer that's inexpensive.
Back to our question, How Do You Build An Opt-In List Without A Website? This is what you do,
- Get an autoresponder
- Signup with your favorite affiliate program
- Create squeeze forms for every campaign you have – you will need to include your affiliate id included in the "tech part" of the form for the website that you're promoting (you will be guided)
- Use a URL croaking program (this is a program that hides your real affiliate url to avoid people stealing your commissions through "cookie stuffing" and other bad methods) to conceal your ids. E.g. bit.ly, tinyurl.com, and budurl.com – These are also URL shorteners.
- Promote that URL instead of affiliate id! Simple….you will have your own opt-in subscribers dropping into your autoresponder account whether they subscribe to the program that you're promoting or not. This is the best way because now you can communicate with them anytime
Stay tuned for part II to get a list of free list building services that you can use to populate your list with, I did not intend to create a long post but it just occurred. I divided it into two posts that are easy to make use of. Ask any questions through the comment box below, enjoy!

As far as what to use to connect all these pieces together and finally to the engine, I was somewhat at a loss. I'm fairly green when it comes to AN fittings, braided stainless hose, EFI, and the like, but Aeromotive guided me in the right direction over the phone and via their highly informative Web site. For most street applications, you would run a -8AN line to the engine and use a -6AN line for the return, but what do those numbers mean? Well, AN stands for "Army/Navy" and has been a standard size in hydraulic fittings that use a 37-degree flare to create the seal. AN line sizes will also have a dash (-) preceding the line size. The number after the dash refers to the amount of 1/16-inch O.D. (outside diameter). Therefore, -8AN would be 1/2-inch and -6AN would be 6/16 or 3/8-inch.
With that out of the way, I decided on a mix of 1/2-inch stainless hard line to run along the frame, and braided hose to jump from the frame to the tank and to the motor so vibration/engine movement wouldn't become a problem. I also chose to run -8AN line both ways instead of -8 and -6. That way I would only need to order lines and fittings in one size as well as only needing one size tubing bender, but -8 both ways is probably overkill.
Installing the goods from Aeromotive and Rick's was essentially a snap, but I won't lie and say that for a first-timer, the hard and braided line installation/creation from scratch was easy. It isn't for the faint of heart or those with a short fuse. In fact, it was the most difficult thing I've done since building a ship in a bottle, but I finished and I'm pleased that the effort was worth the end result. It'd be a good idea to get your tank in and the essentials from Aeromotive installed first, then carefully map out the lines and fittings you need since unneeded AN fittings can add up. One more important tip is to use antiseize lubricant on all your AN fittings and stainless hardware. It's very cheap insurance. Every company involved with this story has helpful tech lines and Web sites for those needing more assistance, answers, or products for your projects.
Anyway, I hope this is half as informative for you all as it was for me. Now I'm that much closer to firing this puppy up! CT

Hey Tumblr!
I wanted to share to everyone what me and my husband's anime cake looked like at our wedding. We decided to do the two shows that we loved: Hetalia and Fullmetal Alchemist.
My sister-in-law already posted a picture of it, so I decided to share some more.
I accidentally cut France in half whoops

High Speed Rail & Electric Cars
Beyond Zero's Vivien and Jane talk to Brad Shultz, organiser of the Brisbane launch for the ZCA High Speed Rail report. Speakers at the launch will discuss the technical, economic and social issues relating to high speed rail in Australia. Speakers included Stephen Bygrave, CEO of Beyond Zero Emissions, and Queensland Senator Larissa Waters
With BZE's High Speed Rail Report launching soon, we recap a popular program featuring interviews with BZE research director Gerard Drew, Gen Okajima

What goes up must come down. At least in the case of airplanes, that's true. But as airplanes keep going up, so do greenhouse gas emissions – these emissions stay in the atmosphere and do not come down.High speed rail, on the other hand, is on the up and up, and can run without contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Europe has had high speed rail since the 1960s. China, Japan and Korea all have high speed rail. India has this year announced it is investigating the feasibility of building high speed rail.

Australian governments have for over 30 years toyed with the idea of building a high-speed rail line on the east coast, and there are finally moves underway to set aside the corridor in which a system could be built. This follows the previous federal government's $20 million high speed rail implementation study which found a significant economic benefit to Australia returning $2.30 for every $1 invested.Think-tank Beyond Zero Emissions has just completed a two-year study into HSR in Australia which shows that rail can not only dramatically reduce transport emissions, but also be built for $30 billion less than the most recent government study.

Australia's domestic air travel (and its associated greenhouse emissions) has grown markedly – especially in the last 10 years, as this graph illustrates.
Air travel (passenger km) data from the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics
We have calculated emissions using the short-haul average emissions per passenger-kilometre as used by the UK government. This takes into account radiative forcing effects of combustion at altitude, nearly doubling the climate impact of the emissions compared to Australian government estimates.
Vivien talks to Duuvey Jester who built Australia's first Earthship near Bundaberg.Then, Cameron Rosen, Builder of Daphna Tull Sustainable House design in Sydney.
We hear from Patrick Hearps, research director of the Zero Carbon Australia Transport Plan about BZE's plan for High Speed Rail (HSR) for Australia. Then Tim Colebatch, on his article on 'Getting Delhi Metro Project up in record time'.

David Feng is an academic, blogger, radio personality and a train buff who has clocked in more than 45,000 kilometers to around 20 Chinese provinces in the past four years.As of August 2012, China had laid 12,000 kilometers of High Speed Rail (HSR) track, investing billions of yuan in a state of the art train network. Most of these trains have a top speed of 350km/h. Chinese authorities aim to build more than 13,000 kilometers of HSR lines by end of 2012 and 16,000 kilometers by 2020.Like David, many people are replacing air travel with the convenience of HSR trips. David joins Beyond Zero's Matthew and Anthony to tell us why China's successful HSR network is now the largest in the world. http://www.cnngo.com/shanghai/play/complete-guide-chinas-high-speed-rail...http://www.davidfeng.me/media/appearances/http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/07/24/china-boasts-biggest-high-speed-ra...
