The Easiest Way to Make Money Online
This is a post by contributing author Bamboo Forest.
I've been blogging for a couple years now and except for a few affiliate sales from ads, consulting is the only way I've made any money from blogging.
Ways to make money that might make you cry
If you told me that to make money I'd have to build websites, acquire thousands of emails for my list, have a hundred thousand monthly unique visitors for Google ads, or write an amazing eBook that must compete with the zillions of other eBooks already on the market, I'd cry.
I'm not saying you can't use the above methods to make serious money. But these methods are some of the most difficult ones with the steepest competition.
There's just got to be a better, more immediate way to make money from blogging.
And there is.
Method to make money that won't make you cry
To be a consultant all you need is a website and a PayPal account.
I've recently become a consultant through a website called Email Life Coach. This site is an extension of one of my blogs.
People hire me to help them with their life issues.
I reasoned that there are zillions of life coaches out there, but how many email life coaches are there? After all, there are definitely people who don't feel comfortable chatting on the phone but still want advice for their life. And I decided to fulfill that demand in a compelling and elegant way.
And while I haven't gotten rich from this business yet, I've certainly made far more money than anything I've ever done online to date.
What kind of consultant you could become
For starters, there needs to be a demand for the kind of consulting work you want to begin. Other than that, the sky's the limit.
You could consult others on how to improve their copy and tweak their site so they get more subscribers.
You could consult people regarding their relationship issues.
You could consult people on how to make it in Hollywood.
You could teach people Japanese.
The possibilities are endless and it's up to you to find something that's in demand that could gain you profit.
It goes without saying that your blog needs to be focused on the subject you're going to consult on. Your blog will act as a funnel to your business.
What mediums you can use to consult
The number of mediums you can currently use is really exciting.
You could be as simple and low tech as I am and use email.
Or you could do something more sophisticated such as making a client a YouTube video or chatting with them online and using a camera so you both can see each other face to face.
There is even software available now where your client can see everything on your computer, which could work well for tutoring or teaching web design.
What's required to consult successfully
While it's really easy to start a consulting business, you can't be mediocre at what you do and expect to get lots of customers or repeat business. Trying to do the aforementioned just isn't honest when people are paying you money.
I don't recommend you put a 'Hire Me" on your blog until you feel completely confident that you can offer what your service will advertise.
For example, I read a book that I found particularly helpful multiple times before I started my Email Life Coaching service because I knew I needed to become more knowledgeable about personal-development before I could help people on a higher level.
How to set your price
I recommend that when you're starting out you keep your rates low. The reason for this is twofold:
1. When starting out you have zero experience, and you'll get better at consulting as you go. In the early stages you're not qualified to ask for a higher fee.
2. Having a lower fee will help get your business rolling. Get enough business and do a good enough job and word of mouth will soon become your ally.
Why consulting is so enticing for potential customers
Because nothing beats the allure of personal attention.
For example, if you read an eBook, as amazing as it may be, it's covering a subject as a whole and not being laser focused on your specific needs.
But when people hire a consultant they're getting their exact concerns catered to.
You always hear A-List bloggers say that you need to solve people's problems if you want your blog posts to go viral. Well, as a consultant, you're in the business of doing nothing but solving people's problems and in the most intimate way possible.
The down side of consulting
While consulting is the easiest way to make money, it's not without challenge.
Daniel has already made the point that selling anything online is difficult and selling consulting is no exception.
Consulting is not the kind of profit model where you can make money in your sleep. On the contrary, with consulting, any money you make is the result of you working directly with a customer which is time consuming.
While you by no means need a popular blog to make money with consulting, you do need to have some kind of an audience. Having a strong presence in the search engines can also help you find clients. Additionally, consider having a YouTube channel to showcase your knowledge which can help you tap into an even greater audience and more potential customers.
Tips to help your consulting business thrive
Always give a money back guarantee. When offering a full money back guarantee you're removing a huge barrier to entry. Potential customers will feel secure that if they hire you and aren't satisfied with your service, they can easily get their money back.
Since I've launched my email life coaching service I haven't had a single person ask for a refund. I doubt I would have had any business at all had I not offered a full money back guarantee.
Think about it… would you hire someone you've never worked with if you knew that even if you had a terrible experience you could never get your money back?
I wouldn't.
It has been said in the business world that you make most of your money with repeat customers. It requires significant effort to find new customers, and much less effort to maintain the customers you already have.
You should reward repeat customers with a discount to promote repeat business.
Currently I charge 35 dollars for new clients and just 30 dollars for repeat clients for my month of change package.
If you've been trying for a long while to make money from blogging and haven't seen much more than a few dollars trickle in, maybe it's time to give consulting a try.

hi there!
As I have been looking for a way to start making money online, I really appreciated your article.
I have a question though:
How can you profit directly from making money from having your own site? And how is that achieved?
If you charge for a service, you obviously register that person with a credit card or…..?
BUT…. Do you receive any of the monies received just through visiting the required site and if so, how? Where do you register or apply?
Sorry if this sounds weird, but always good to ask if you don't know, isn't that right? 🙂
Kind Regards
Thank you very much, Bamboo Forest. To be honest I've not seen any article like the one I've just read. However, are you saying that without being a consultant you can't make as much money as you want? What about some of us who are just starting out with a free blog?
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
You can make even more money not being a consultant, for example, by selling ebooks.
It really just depends on your personal circumstance.
If you're starting out with a free blog, work on your craft.
Though I do recommend that at some point you get your own domain name as people perceive it as more professional.

This post inspired another way to use this idea, except for email business coaching. In other words, provide guidance and support to small businesses and start-up using the techniques outline here. I've created a domain for this idea which I'm auctioning on Godaddy for $15, if anyone wants to run with a slightly different twist on this very good idea they can purchase the domain and start today.
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Glad you found a little inspiration in my post. That brings me jollies!
Your idea is a good one. Thanks for sharing.
- Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
I agree. Giving free answers to questions could be a very effective way to build your credibility which can then lead to paying clients.
Good luck with your endeavors.

Hello Bamboo, (nice name btw), thanks for the post, lots of good info here to consider. Maybe you should consult on ranking for Google since I found your blog by searching Google for the keyword phrase "make money online" (which is a very highly competitive phrase) and then selecting blogs on the left hand side. You were #1 spot.
I myself am into SEO and low cost / free lead generation systems. Your article has given me some good ideas to pursue.
Thanks and wishing you much success with you email consulting.

Thanks for the good words.
I'm not sure which blog of mine that you discovered through that search phrase 🙂
Glad my article helped you with ideas. Good luck with your endeavors.

My blog is all about financial services too. Although I am still in the process of learning these things, articles like these really do make my learnings more worthwhile. Great article!
HP van Duuren
Thanks for your post,
Your post actually Inspired me to make one of my Blogs (my Writing Lifestyle Blog) into more of a Q&A-type of Blog….,
I do think that with such a (Free) Q&A-type Blog it might be possible to build a Relationship with an Audience that could grow into possible future Customers for (Paid) Consulting. First by providing them with all kinds of Free Help, Resources
and Answers to Questions.
The feedback might even Inspire me to – besides the tiny little (almost free) ebook I already (pre) sell on that blog – also create other Special Products for them. My most recent Post on that blog is a Post about Writing Goals asking my Readers for their Feedback
and how I can Help them.
All the Best,
To your Happy – Blogging – Inspiration,

I responded to your comment, but somehow I forgot to click "respond" so it should be somewhere below this comment. Cheers.

Rudy – Quit Smoking Blog
Nice article but I think the "real easy way to make money" is doing something that you love.
Something that you are passionate about, something that interests you and something that you can throw yourself wholeheartedly that will lead you to the gates of success.
Finding this "something" is not easy. This is the reason why most people don't become successful and most self-help books out there will always say to find what you really want if you want to succeed.
Consulting is not for everyone, but for those who are looking for their "something" in life, this article just might be the answer to your dreams especially if you will soon discover that consulting indeed is for you.
Remember, the only way to find out what you really want is by trying.
Just sharing my two cents.
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
The point of this article was to convey the easiest model to make money online in a general way. It wasn't to suggest it's the only way or even the best way.
I can't cover every minutiae in one article.
The aim of this article was to introduce people with the possibility of adding a consulting service to their website.
What you're talking about is a totally different subject matter that would be appropriate for a totally different post.

If you have your own product or service then you will find yourself able to make money with even small amounts of traffic. If you're able to think of something that's suitable to perform over the Internet, then consulting is a popular form of that. The only downside is you still are putting in time for money, whereas if you're making money in other ways it's generally passive income.
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Yes, that is the downside.
But I think it's easier to make money though consulting than selling a product when you have a smaller audience. Though, that would need to be tested to know for sure and I'm sure it varies from niche to niche.
- Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Hmmm, such a new and creative way indeed 🙂
I will add it to the complete list of ways to make money online on the website:

I agree, being a consultant is the best way to do it.
Been a financial blogger for years, allow people to track all my trades, then about 15% of my readers become clients.
You first need credibility, then people follow you
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
You're right… credibility is necessary. And yet, that can be achieved in multiple ways.
Being a consultant is the easiest way to do it. Sometimes the best way. Depends on a person's goal.
- Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
One way you could do a campaign is to do many guest posts on blogs that are consistent with your consulting service.
This way, through guest posts, you could advertise your service to many people and not just your audience on your blog.
With the way things change at such a high speed, I love this article. This really gave me some GREAT ideas to improve the web we spin to catch clients. Even those that do not want to drop a million on marketing, this gives you an idea on how to help the smaller starter companies improve on their success. By doing this you make an impression and perhaps when that tiny company gets bigger, they will look to you again to do business for them.
Nasrul Hanis
Wow.. this is interesting.. and it seems easier in some senses.. but the most important thing is to get the client's trust – the best way is by successfully helping them..
You must have an effective campaign too for this. Btw thanks for sharing! 😀
mark readal
The idea to be a consultant is great, and everyone wants to be one. I'm not an exception. However, once you have a business idea for your skill you should give it a go. The biggest advantage for me would be able to work with people. And, if local it could be offline too. Regarding email support, do you simply answer peoples' questions or do you provide written How to guides to problems? Thanks for the inspirations, cheers mark.
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
I listen to a person's issue… and then I give them the advice I believe they need most.
Sometimes I point them to articles that I think will help them specifically. I also sometimes recommend books to read.
Beyond the above, in a sense, I do offer a guide. My emails can be pretty long and sometimes it's more of figuring out how to motivate people than giving them ways to do things. Or, other times, it can encompass both.
mark readal
Thanks for the tip. To motivate someone is often all you need, and combined with a well structured guide is probably best. mmh, and maybe one more question: do you charge your customers in advance? cheers mark.

Hi, I do think consulting is a good option for making easy money. But wouldn't you require an audience and a website to make it effective? These type of works requires lot of time, doesn't it?
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Yes, you do need an audience and a website.
But here's the thing: With many profit models you need insane amounts of traffic.
With consulting, however, you don't need nearly as much traffic to actually make some money.
- Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Nice blog post Bamboo Forest,
Consulting really made me curious. I'll definitely give it a try sometimes in the future.
Keep up the good work,
Bamboo Forest – Tick Tock Timer
Thank you.
Yeah, it's worth a try. The great thing is all you have to do is put a "hire me" on your page and then wait and see if any business comes in.

A prominent South Korean lawmaker who was being probed over a bribery scandal has committed suicide, police said Monday.
Roh Hoe-chan, a three-term lawmaker of the left-leaning Justice Party had been under investigation for allegedly receiving 50 million won ($44,300) from a powerful political blogger linked to many top politicians.
The blogger, widely known by his online nickname "Druking", is currently on trial for using illegal hacking programmes to sway public opinion on Naver, the South's top online portal.
"Druking" is accused of artificially increasing the number of positive responses -- the equivalent of Facebook's "Like" function -- to tens of thousands of online comments on Naver that attacked or supported politicians or political parties in a bid to win personal favours.
In a suicide note left in a Seoul apartment, Roh admitted he had received money from the blogger, but denied he had offered any favour in return, the Yonhap news agency said.
He had been expected to be summoned soon by prosecutors for questioning.
Police said Roh was found dead at the gate of the same apartment building and that it appeared he had jumped to his death.
Roh was a prominent labour rights activist before becoming a lawmaker in 2004. The South's presidential Blue House offered condolences over the "heartbreaking event."
"I express my deepest condolences over his death from the depths of my heart," Huh Ik-bum, a senior prosecutor leading the probe over the scandal, told reporters.
"I personally admired him as a politician," he said.
South Korea has one of the world's highest suicide rates, and suicides of public figures -- from politicians to businessmen -- embroiled in humiliating scandals make frequent headlines.
Late former president Roh Moo-hyun, who served from 2003 to 2008, shocked the nation in 2009 when he jumped off a cliff while being investigated over a corruption scandal.

County Asks for Court Review on Shoreline Buffer Rulings
Kitsap County will ask the Washington State Court of Appeals to reconsider a ruling that has essentially voided shoreline buffer restrictions spelled out in the county's Critical Areas Ordinance.
The appeals court relied on a state Supreme Court ruling when it concluded that the only way to change shoreline buffers is by amending the county's Shorelines Management Program. The county amended its Critical Areas Ordinance to change shoreline buffers from 35 feet to 50 feet in urban areas and from 35 feet to 100 feet in rural and semirural areas.
The Supreme Court ruling, known as "Futurewise," involved a shoreline issue in Anacortes. It said only the Shoreline Management Act governs property within 200 feet of the shoreline. The ruling was not available when Kitsap County amended its Critical Areas Ordinance.
The high court failed to garner a majority opinion for its ruling, which has created confusion among cities and counties throughout the state.
"It is our hope that reconsideration by the appeals court will provide clearer direction to the counties," said Kitsap County Commissioner Charlotte Garrido.
Kitsap County's attorneys will file the motion by Sept. 29, which will delay the issuance of a "mandate" from the court. The mandate effectively implements the court's order, which calls for sending the matter back to the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board.
Meanwhile, the Kitsap County Department of Community Development will continue to process permits using the Critical Areas Ordinance as amended in 2007 following an order by the growth hearings board.

Quebecer Gravy
Quebecer Gravy
by James Belardo
A wonderful creation coming from Canada is the devilishly decadent French-Canadian invention Poutine! Born in the 50's, in the province of Quebec, it has quite literally taken over most of Canada and is now spreading throughout the world. The real secret of the Poutine is the use of simple and quality ingredients. If you can find a good source of cheese curds, you're on the right path…
2 cloves garlic (crushed or finely diced)
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups beef stock
1 cup chicken stock
1-2 tbsp Quebecer Spice Rub
Salt – to taste
1. Mix the cornstarch and water well and set aside.
2. Using a saucepan on low heat, melt the butter and add the crushed garlic.
3. Cook for about 1 or 2 minutes, stirring constantly
4. Add the flour and keep mixing for around 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to turn brown.
5. Add the stock (1/2 cup at a time) bringing to a boil before adding more liquid)
6. In the last stage whisk in the cornstarch and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Add the Quebecer Spice Rub and salt to taste.

According to Joe Brockmeier at ZDNet, Amazon is taking an open source approach to PR:
The company has announced what it calls its "Holiday Customer Review Team." These are six Amazon customers who are particularly active in writing product reviews that it has offered to reporters to discuss gift picks. (They also contribute their recommendations on a page on Amazon's site.)
Amazon says that members of the team are "real people giving unbiased advice to fellow consumers. They are not employed by Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates."
Have to admit this a twist on open source PR I hadn't considered. However, more interesting for me was that it seemed to provide more evidence of the potential power of Most Frequent Contributors. I am curious to know whether Amazon will also have a page where these reviewers highlight their "Xmas turkeys". In order to show real independence, you'd want them to give you guidance about things to avoid as well as check out.
Nevertheless, I'm going to keep an eye on how this open source experiment progresses.

Jil Sander has been announced as the guest designer at Florence menswear trade show Pitti Immagine Uomo no.97 in January.
Co-creative designers Lucie and Luke Meier will present the new menswear collection at a "special event" in Florence. With the date and the venue of the event set to be unveiled at the Pitti Immagine press roadshow in November.
"We have followed with great interest the work of Lucie and Luke Meier at Jil Sander," said Lapo Cianchi, Pitti Immagine director of communications and events in a statement. "A very precise vision of fashion, where there is clearly a constant search for equilibrium between the respect for minimalist codes - which made the history of the brand - and the desire to incite emotion, combined with great attention to details."
Cianchi, added: "When they talk about their collections, it is as if they were describing a character, a complex and multifaceted individual. The desire to create clothes that last over time, is an approach that we find to be absolutely fresh and contemporary, to which the special event in Florence should be able to give a further contribution in terms of freedom of expression."
Lucie and Luke Meier have been co-creative designers at Jil Sander since spring 2017, and they added: "For us, showing in Florence is both an honour and a completion. We first met in Florence, and never imagined that we would be back here together showing at Pitti Uomo. This opportunity is a truly special one, and we look forward to contributing to the legacy of this city and Pitti Uomo."
Pitti Immagine Uomo will run from January 7-10, 2020.

I served with a Servant Group International team on a Greek island. Each day we accompanied approximately 1,000 refugees arriving on the northern coast. The refugees arrive on shore wet, hungry, thirsty, exhausted and frequently in shock from the 6-mile journey. Most have been displaced from their homes for at least a month – many have completely depleted their resources just to reach Europe.
Our group was assigned to work at the Skala-Sykaminia Transit Center. The center was the first stop for women, men and children who survived passage in flimsy, over-crowded dinghies launched by smugglers from the Turkish shoreline. For those who landed on the gentle shores of Skala – the transit center was a 2 kilometer uphill walk on a winding road. On an ordinary day, a hiker might stop along the road to enjoy a beautiful view of olive groves stretching down to the Aegean Sea while listening to the bells and bleats of grazing goats under the warm late morning sun. On this walk, however, the goal is a resting place, answers, sustenance, safety. The culverts testified to those who lightened their load by shedding wet clothing and life vests.
The transit center run by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees is staffed by Christian NGOs, most under the umbrella of Operation Mobilization or Samaritan's Purse. The mostly 20 and 30-year old volunteers served with joy and compassion.
Our team arrived at the clean, mostly empty transit center thirty minutes prior to our 3:30 pm shifts. By late morning, the buses had caught up with the overflow from the night before and the early shift had time to clean and do inventory in anticipation of the new day's arrivals. Following our briefing, we would go to our assigned posts until necessity shifted us elsewhere.
At the main gate, families and single men stood in parallel queues and were welcomed into the camp in groups of ten to twenty. The volunteers sang out, "Welcome," "Hello," "You're safe" in Arabic, Dari, and English. Smiles spoke to all. Water, high-protein biscuits (and fruit the first two days) were made available as the refugees received their paper tickets for the free buses to the transit center ninety minutes away. As the warm sun dipped over the mountain, the urgency for dry clothing increased and volunteers staffing the clothing tent kept busy trying to find EU clothing donations that would fit and be culturally appropriate for Middle-Eastern women. Clothing tent humor became a bit like Goldilocks – too big, too small and "just right" was a moment to celebrate. Our new Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi and Afghan friends were so gracious even when clothing could not be found.
Nightfall also meant preparing for the "last bus for the night." Inventory was assessed and the shift director would oversee blanket distribution and those assigned to kitchen duty would fire up the three propane burners for hot tea, hot water for baby bottles and, when available, ramen or rice.
Many times we had to say "No." No blankets. No dry socks. No room in the camp. At these times, we had an opportunity to say "Yes". We said yes with our presence. You were with us as we waited in the cold with them.
Refugee movement beyond Greece is now uncertain. The tragedy in Paris has fueled fears of terrorists moving through doors open to refugees. I pray for our world leaders – may they be courageous and compassionate. For our church, may we be Jesus to our Muslim brothers and sisters. As my Greece trip roommate recently wrote: "Where would Jesus be? That's where I want to be."
Me, too.

Saint Lucia
The Island, which has been named after the Roman Catholic Saint Lucy of Syracuse has been the center of attraction because of its strategic location and exquisite surroundings from centuries. Such was the importance of this island that Great Britain and France fought over it fourteen times in a span of only four years. In 1979, the island gained the status of an independent island and was included in the Commonwealth.
The island supports a tropical climate and is regarded as one of the breeziest places of the world- thanks to the northeast trade winds. The capital city of this most mountainous island in the Caribbean is Castries, where most of its population resides. Tourists from around the world don't face any difficulty in communicating.
One of the major landmarks of Saint Lucia is the famous cone-shaped Piton peaks situated at the south of Soufriere.

Saint Lucia has two airports, Vigie Field Airport and Hewanorra International Airport with the latter being the bigger.
Taxi service can be availed from virtually any place on the island. Other than that, most of the resorts also offer their own exciting regulated resort tours to all the prominent tourist hot spots.…

Eventually, I reached a point, like most well-practiced musicians do, where I didn't need bass tabs, sheet music, etc, anymore. I can now just listen to the song, and pick up exactly what is being played with minimal problems. However, I'm not a musical genius by any means, and there are still times when I'll hear a bass fill, or interesting, "notey" bass line that is quite tricky. If I can't figure it out by ear, you should bet that I'm going to look up the bass tab, and not the sheet music.
I guess the point is that unless you are planning on being a studio musician, composer, or something like that, you really don't need to know standard notation. Bass tabs, and all tablature are easier to read, and can help get you to a pretty high skill level. However from my experience, once I fully learned theory and notation, things really opened up for me, and I felt good about being a well-rounded musician. There will always be a special place in my heart for bass tabs though!

Topstitching is a decorative stitch on the face of the fabric. Even, straight topstitching makes homemade sewing look more proffessional. Topstitching is done 1/4″ from the seam.
I use the #1 foot and follow the edge which is 1/4″ away. Make sure you sew on the top so that you can see where you're sewing. I also like to do this with my bobbin thread, so it doesn't show.
I sew at regulation stitch length.
Ta-da. It's that easy, but really improves the look of a garment. This stitch can also be done 1/4″ from the edge of clothing like a vest or jacket. Happy topstitching!
Another place it's found is on jackets like this one I made.

It is important that women contemplating remarriage obtain proper legal advice. In each province there are laws that define and set out the legal liabilities, responsibilities, and rights created between the parties upon marriage. It is not usually necessary for persons contemplating marriage for the first time to obtain legal advice. In such cases, the couple is often young with few assets and no dependents except each other. In a second marriage, however, you and your spouse may have significant assets and there may be children from the previous marriage or relationship for whom there is a legal obligation to provide.
There are two major areas of concern that arise with remarriages and pre-existing wills. The first relates to the inheritance laws. Upon marriage, all existing wills are automatically revoked by operation of law. A number of problems could arise if you or your spouse were to die without a valid will shortly after remarriage. In such a situation, the surviving spouse would, by law, inherit all or, if there are children of a previous marriage, most of the deceased spouse's estate under the Intestate Succession Act and there would be little or no benefit to other next-of-kin. These problems can be avoided if you and your partner execute wills in contemplation of, or immediately after, marriage. The law requires that upon death adequate provisions be made for the maintenance of a dependent, surviving spouse. This can be established by setting up spousal trusts in which the surviving spouse would enjoy the use and benefit of certain assets of the estate until death or remarriage, whereupon those assets would then flow back to the children from the first marriage or other next of kin.
Marriage Contracts
A second major area of concern relates to property claims and rights of the parties created by the marriage. The Matrimonial Property Act of Alberta provides that property accumulated during marriage must be equally divided between you and your spouse upon marriage breakdown, unless unusual circumstances exist.
If you and your partner are contemplating marriage, you may wish to obtain independent legal advice and enter into a prenuptial agreement, or marriage contract. Each of you can then set up your own rules regarding the distribution of matrimonial property upon marriage breakdown. It is particularly important that a marriage contract set out, in detail, the property and net worth of each of you at the time of the marriage, as that property remains exempt from distribution or claims by the other spouse (so long as it is not put in joint names). However, any increase in the value of that property during the marriage is not exempt and must be dealt with specifically in the marriage contract. Releases of dower rights, estate claims, and spousal support may also be included in the marriage contract, but may be disallowed by the court if independent legal advice is not obtained by each of you at the time the marriage contract is executed. (More information about this is provided in the section on Matrimonial Property.)

Two years ago, Deloitte's Alan Switzer, writing in The Telegraph, pegged the first-year cost of relegation from the Premier League at £25 million (about $38 million), a figure that has almost certainly risen — doubled even? — since he calculated it.
So if we can agree that the figure varies but is somewhere in the middle, say $50 million or so, then this may be what a $50 million goal looks like:
Chested down and volleyed from miles outside the penalty area, the goal was scored by 23-year-old defender Matthew Lowton in the 87th minute of Aston Villa's 3-1 victory at Stoke on Saturday. The win — Villa's third in four games, all against fellow bottom-dwellers — produced three points of (almost) incalculable value.
Those three points lifted Aston Villa to 16th place in the standings, at 33. (Newcastle also has 33, but with a superior goal difference.) With 17th place Sunderland at Chelsea on Sunday, and the 18th- and 19th-place teams — Wigan and Queen's Park Rangers — playing one another, the win probably ensures that Villa will spend at least a week out of the bottom three, where it has languished dangerously for large parts of the season.
"You will not see a better goal in Europe, let alone Britain," Aston Villa Manager Paul Lambert said, although there are no doubt some readers who might argue that Lowton's shot is one that any decent weekend player ought to have in his arsenal.
As valuable as Lowton's strike was for Villa, it was a devastating shot at reeling Stoke, which at 34 points is at serious risk of being pulled closer to the swirl around the drain. With six games to go, and at least a half-dozen teams now seriously in danger of going down, the relegation fight promises to be just as intense as the one for Champions League places at the other end of the table. Up and down the country, it seems, every club has something vital to play for.
Kind of makes you wish American leagues had embraced the concept.


text: George Soros accused in Sun TV News debate 6:36 AM PDT 10/7/2010 by Etan Vlessing , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Politician claims Soros behind anti-news channel campaign TORONTO -- A prominent Canadian politician has fingered American billionaire George Soros for meddling in efforts to launch a right-wing TV news channel here. Senator Bob Runciman told the Canadian Senate that Avaaz, a U.S. website linked to Soros, was spearheading a campaign against Sun TV News, a conservative all-news TV channel dubbed Fox News North by its critics. "The virtual silence of the Canadian media on the involvement of this foreign entity illustrates only too well why Canadians need more voices, more opinions and more sources of news," Runciman added, in a pitch to the CRTC, the country's TV regulator, to grant Sun TV News a broadcast license. The Canadian Senator added his voice to continued sightings on the right of liberal cabals that control Canadian media and are looking to thwart right-wing outlets. "Why have the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) and like-minded media outlets ignored the activities of Avaaz? Is it perhaps because Avaaz shares their view of the world?," Runciman questioned while speaking in the upper chamber. He also fingered the CBC for leading a Sept. 13 newscast with "a flimsy conspiracy theory" that linked the U.S.-based National Rifle Association with a Canadian debate over registering rifles and shotguns. "Meanwhile, a real example of foreign interference in Canadian affairs was occurring right under the noses of CBC reporters and producers who tried so hard, but failed so miserably, to prove foreign influence in the gun registry debate," Runciman told the Canadian Senate. "Avaaz was putting its resources into influencing Canadian broadcast policy, as it attempted to interfere in Canadian environmental policy, as it tried to influence the results of the last election, and as it tried to convince the Governor General to allow the opposition coalition to take power following that election," he added. New York-based Avaaz this week delivered a "Stop Fox News North" petition and letters by around 21,000 Canadians to the CRTC as it considers an application from Sun TV News for market entry. Quebecor Media, which is looking to launch Sun TV News on Jan. 1, 2011, this week backed down and said it would not seek special treatment from the CRTC on its application to launch a new all-news TV channel (HR, 10/5).

I thought I should post the notes here..
The Seven Levels for the Total Annihilation of Humans
Level One: Shirk and Kufr (Associating partners with Allah and disbelief)
This is the highest level. When a person reaches the highest level, they actually become part of the army of Iblees. This is for people who have reached this level after turning their backs on the truth in arrogance or heedlessness after knowing it or hearing about it. This can be made analogous to how vampires or werewolves work. When a vampire or werewolf bites someone, the person who is bitten turns over to the other side. When Iblees is able to take a person up to Level One, they themselves become one of the devils, and they live their lives pulling people away from the truth.
Level Two: Bid'a (Innovation)
We would think that the Major Sins would be the second level, but it isn't, it's innovation. This is because a person can commit a sin and repent from it but someone who is engaged in innovation they actually think that what they are doing is something that will bring them closer to Allah. They don't see it as something bad, and they would have no reason to seek Allah's forgiveness from it and thus they keep engaging in it assuming it to be good.
An example of this is the people of Noah or Nooh (alayhis Salaam). What these people did was they started building idols of their pious, not because they wanted to worship them but because they thought they would be able to give them respect in such a way and that would remind them of their righteousness and piety, so they themselves could become righteous or pious. The people who built the idols themselves didn't worship them, but once they died, the following generations ended up taking them as an object of veneration and worship.
One of the keys to avoid falling in this level or get out of this level is by being truthful to oneself in what one does, being sincere in following Allah and the Messenger and following the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wa Sallam). Instead of relying on others or following what others are saying blindly, asking first what does the Quran and Sunnah say and then if it is in agreement then following them?
Level Three: alKabaair (The Major Sins)
This level is for people who fall into the major sins like murder, fornication, etc. Of the people that Shaytaan works on the hardest to commit the major sins are the scholars or the people in the public eye or respect. These people don't necessarily have to be Muslim, but rather just people that are looked up to by the general public. One example is the evangelical preacher Jimmy Swaggart, even though he falls in Level One, nevertheless his example is a good one in this category. He was preacher, a public figure, and he committed adultery and when people found out, he went on television and told the people that he was sorry and God has forgiven him. And later on he did it again. Think about how many people after seeing this went out themselves and committed zina(unlawful sexual intercourse)? What do you think his followers were thinking? They probably went out committing adultery or fornication thinking, "If someone of such high caliber and a preacher like Jimmy Swaggart can do this what about me?"
Level Four: Minor Sins
If you are Muslim and you've protected yourself from all the above levels then you will fall here. There are a total of seven levels and we are at level four. May Allah protect us from all the levels! The Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wa Sallam) once said, "Beware of sins that people belittle. For verily, the example of people who do that, is the example of people who came upon a valley at nighttime and they need to start a fire. So one person goes and gets a small piece of wood and another person does the same until everyone does that and they all gather wood and light a fire and a huge fire goes up and they cook their food." The Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wa Sallam) is comparing this to someone who keeps engaging in minor sins, and he continues, "Whenever the person that engages in minor sins and enjoys them and keeps engaging in them, it will eventually pile up and destroy him." [Muslim]
These are minor sins, and a point to note is that sins like backbiting and so on are not even Minor Sins, rather they are from the Major Sins, and someone who engages in them would fall in Level three.
Level Five: Busying with Mubahaat (Permissible things)
If Shaytaan fails to make a person fall into one of the above four levels then he will try to get them to busy their time with all the permissible things. An example of this is football. Whether it is in the USA or UK, it's still football. It might be a different game but it's still the same idea. So a person who enjoys football, he is so into it, he watches every game, he gets the season tickets, he reads the newspaper in the morning about what they said about the game, and after he comes out the masjid (mosque) he is still concerned about what the score is, or who won, he looks on his cell phone and goes home on the internet looking up scores and points etc. And when Ramadhaan time comes and he prays taraweeh (Night prayer during Ramdhaan) and Laytul Qadr (Night of power during Ramdhaan)he is making dua asking Allah, "Ya Rabbi! Let the Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl! Ya Rahman! Ya Raheem!" And some people might hear this and laugh, but this is what is happening and it happens all the time. People might spend 20 years of their life sleeping and another 20 years engaging in the permissible things that don't bring any benefit to them.
A good example that Muhammad alShareef gave about his community in Canada was the masjid encouraging the people to play basketball. People would say lets play basketball, and encourage it because it will lead people to Islam and Allah and the Messenger. He decided that he was going to go memorize the Qur'an instead at a Dar ulUloom school, it took him two years and he finished it. And when he came back and saw the people at the masjid, they were still playing basketball. They were really good, and they almost got into the university teams in their respective school. They then finished their university studies and got married. On Sundays at the masjid they can still manage to play a pretty good game of hoops. But they knew no Qur'an. If you ask them to lead the prayer, they cant, do they know even 5 Surahs, they don't, and do they know Arabic, they don't. If you ask them what they have done with their lives, they say they played basketball.
Level Six: Faadil wa Mafdool (Engaging in the less virtuous things, when more virtuous things can easily be done)
An amazing example can be given, it almost always happens, never fails. During Ramadhaan you often see people sitting by the wall. People come in and see these people, and ask what they are doing. They ask them why they come to the masjid during taraweeh and they are sitting in the back not praying. They don't want to be embarrassed, so they open up the Quran and start following it. Do they ever open the Qur'an outside of Ramdhaan, probably not. This is a classic trick of Shaytaan where he tells you to engage in something good when something better can be done at the same time or with a similar effort. And most of the time another person comes and sits by this person with the Qur'an open and says lets go outside for a little bit. And he says "I'm trying to follow the Imam, shhhh!" Then the other person says, "Let us go for a little bit, there are donuts outside." Then the person decides he'll go outside for only 2 minutes, and he's gone. He ends up talking to people and playing basketball outside the entire time.
Those people that are very concerned and focused on the Halaal/Dhabeehahmeat issue would fall in here. Someone will have a girlfriend, they are engaged in riba(interest/usury), or do all kinds of evil, but they eat dhabeehah (ritually slaughtered) meat, then they think everything is alright.
Level Seven: Shaytaan's Army of Humans and Devils
A person who is protected from all the levels, they would fall into this category. One of the people that would fall into this category is Umar (radiAllahu anhu). The Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhiw a Sallam) said "If Umar would take a path to walk, then Shaytaan would take another path." If Shaytaan can't get to someone or get them to one of the other levels, then he will raise hell from his army of men and jinn in order to cause harm and destroy that person.Shaytaan succeeded in this plan with Umar (radiAllahu anhu) because he was killed by Abu Lu'lu' alMajoosee. Abu Lu'lu' was a fire-worshipper, he hid in themasjid before Fajr salaah (Dawn Prayer) with a poisoned dagger waiting for Umar (radiAllahu anhu). When Umar (radiAllahu anhu) came to lead the salaahfor Fajr, he came out and attacked Umar (radiAllahu anhu) while he was praying. Shaytaan was at level seven with Umar (radiAllahu anhu) and if you can get to that level then you will be tested like you've never been tested before.
May Allah protect us from Shaytaan, the accursed one! May Allah protect us from evil of others and ourselves, give us the ability to do good deeds, have mercy on us, and forgive our sins!- Ameen.
Wa'alaikum Salam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!!
Jazak Allaahu khayr … thank you for these notes, it saved me a lot of time and effort and will in shaa' Allah earn you an abundance of thawab, in shaa' Allah. May Allah reward you!
Assalamu alaikum to my sisters and brothers. This is a truly must listen to lecture by brother Muhammad Alshareef. May we be rightly guided towards the path of Allah azawjal and not become part of shaitan's army. Auodhubillahi minashaitanirajeem.
Wallahi this lecture was incredible Masha'Allah. JZK

Pass-Through Taxes and How They Affect Business Owners
A big change came to pass-through tax deductions in 2018
Most small businesses are pass-through businesses. They pay no taxes themselves at the business level. Owners report business income and pay the business tax on their personal tax returns. These businesses include LLCs, partnerships, S corporations, and sole proprietorships.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) introduced a significant change that affects these pass-through businesses.
2018 Changes—The Pass-Through Income Deduction
The TCA's pass-through deduction took effect on Jan. 1, 2018. Sole proprietors, S corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and other pass-through businesses can now shave 20 percent off their pass-through incomes and pay tax on the remaining balance—always subject to certain rules and exceptions, of course.
Most notably, "Specified Service Trades and Businesses" (SSTBs) were ineligible to claim the deduction in the first drafts of the law. These include accounting, consulting, and law businesses, among other fields—basically any field where the owner earns her income thanks to her own skill or reputation.
That doesn't sound fair, because that covers the vast majority of partners, sole proprietors, or other businesspersons. Congress realized this, and the tweaking began.
The final version of the deduction does not exclude SSTBs unless their 2018 income is $315,000 or more for married filing jointly taxpayers in tax year 2018. The limit for all other taxpayers is $157,500. The deduction begins phasing out beyond these thresholds. In other words, that 20% deduction shrinks to 15 percent to 10 percent and so on until it disappears entirely based on how much over these limits the taxpayer earns.
SSTBs aren't barred from claiming a pass-through deduction at all until they reach incomes of $415,000 for those who are married and filing jointly, and $207,500 for all others in 2018. Everyone else can subtract the applicable percentage from their pass-through income and pay taxes on the balance.
Is Your Business a Pass-Through Business?
Pass-through tax treatment means that the taxes of a business are literally "passed through" to the tax returns of the individuals who own the business. These business entities are not subject to double taxation—once as the business earns income and again at the owners' level—as are corporations.
Pass-through businesses include:
- Sole proprietor and single-member LLC businesses filing a Schedule Cs to report their business income
- Owners of partnerships, multiple-member LLC's and S corporations filing their share of business income on Schedule K-1
Two types of businesses are not pass-through businesses: corporations and LLC's electing to be taxed as corporations. Taxes for corporations aren't pass through because corporations are separate entities from their owners.
If a business owns another business, the tax for the owning business passes through. For example, if a corporation owns all or part of an LLC, the tax for the LLC passes to the corporation.
How Pass-Through Taxes Work
Because the taxes of the business are passed through to the owners' tax returns, the business profit is taxed at the individual owner's personal tax rate rather than at the corporate tax rate. This difference can result in a lower (or higher) tax rate for the business, depending on the tax rate of the individual taxpayer.
Pass-through taxes work in two steps for these businesses:
- The business calculates its net income: gross income minus deductible expenses. This calculation might be done on a tax return for partnerships and S corporations, or on a Schedule C filed with Form 1040 for single-person businesses.
- The business owner includes her share of the net income of the business on her personal tax return. For a single-person business, the tax is figured on the owner's entire net income. For multiple-owner businesses, the tax is divided among the owners.
Sole Proprietorships and Single-Member LLCs
The business and the business owner are not separate entities from a tax standpoint in a sole proprietor business. The business tax filing is part of the business owner's personal tax return, so the profits or losses are calculated on Schedule C of the owner's personal 1040 and the net income or loss is passed through to Schedule 1 of the owner's new 2018 Form 1040. The total from Schedule 1 is then entered on line 6 of the 1040.
Schedule 1 includes other types of income as well, such as capital gains, royalties, and unemployment compensation.
Single-member LLC's pay income tax in the same way sole proprietorships do, so income tax is passed through to them in the same way.
Partnerships, S Corporations and LLC's
In other types of businesses that are not corporations, the tax liability or net income of the business is passed through to the owner's personal tax return in a different way for each.
For partners in a partnership, the net income or profit of the partnership as a whole is calculated. This income or loss is then divided among the partners according to their distributive share as set in the partnership agreement. Each individual partner receives a Schedule K-1 showing their share of the profit, which is then included on the partner's Form 1040.
Owners of multiple-member LLCs are taxed as partners, so they receive a partnership K-1 based on their share of the profits of the LLC.
In the same way as the partnership, S corporation owners also receive a Schedule K-1 showing their share of the profits of the S corporation for the tax year.
Pass-Through Taxes and Self-Employment Tax
Self-employment taxes are Social Security and Medicare tax for self-employed individuals. They also pass through to business owners.
The amount of self-employment tax is calculated based on the business owner's net income, and it's passed through to the individual income tax return to be paid. As with pass-through income tax, self-employment tax is not paid by the business, but by the individual.
Disclaimer: This article includes a general discussion of pass-through taxes, and it's not intended to be tax or legal advice. Every business tax situation is unique. Discuss your tax situation with a tax professional before you prepare your business taxes.

The Fresh Energy Cookbook
Detox Recipes to Supercharge your LifeBook - 2013
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
There were some pretty pictures in this book but the recipes were so lacking. Often the picture did not match the ingredients in the recipe or the picture featured with the recipe had nothing to do with actual recipe, clearly they hired a food stylist to take a bunch of nice cook book pictures, and some design editor jammed them into the book where they thought a picture should show up amidst the text. they didn't shoot the "real" food but perhaps this is just my personal pet peeve? Some of the recipes were so basic I am not sure what they were thinking calling them a recipe, for example "Crazy Chop Salad ; chop up whatever vegetables you like toss with feta and lemon juice". I don't need a cook book for that. Some recipes were just completely improbable like "Fresh Tuna Meat Balls" mincing fresh tuna into meat balls and baking in tomato sauce is just disrespectful of this incredible not to mention expensive ingredient, I can't imagine taking 2 serving of a 30$ piece of fish and butchering it like that.

MSUFCU Dinosaur Dash Celebrates 30 Years
EAST LANSING, MI — On October 4, 2015, MSU Federal Credit Union partnered with the MSU Museum in sponsoring the 30th annual Dinosaur Dash 5K run and walk. The event brought in more than 1,300 participants across its divisions, which included a kids' mile and a "diaper dash" for young children.
In addition to the sponsorship, MSUFCU employees volunteered to help facilitate the event and participate in the race itself. The Dinosaur Dash supports the Credit Union's wellness efforts in helping employees achieve and maintain good physical and mental health.
"We look forward to the Dinosaur Dash each year because it allows us to spend time on MSU's campus and build relationships with our members who live both within and outside of the Greater Lansing area," said April Clobes, MSUFCU's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Farm Animal Mural Video
Farm Animal Murals and Life Sized Horse Paintings by Sue Steiner
Today we had the 2nd Annual Local Artisan Festival at Lehman's. I added to the farm animal murals by putting the finishing touches to a ewe's face and began working on the lower part of this section which will include twin lambs, a barn cat and a rooster.
On the day of this filming the local Mennonite churches were quilting in preparation for the MCC Relief Sale in Aug. that takes place in Kidron.

This term we are beginning our topic of Great Britain. As part of our Geography, we have been looking at different places within Britain and how they may differ from our local area. We have done lots of exciting work so far including our trip to London and building our classroom display of Year 4 in various areas of Great Britain. We are now getting ready to contact our pen pals all the way in Wolverhampton to find out what their local area is like. To help us with this, we took a walk around Marple to take pictures to send in our letters to our friends in Wolverhampton. We are so excited to hear from them. Here are some examples of our letters …

Nano Egidio
Simona Oppedisano, an actress in shows for children, met Marco Ceccotti at the Teatro Argot's master class for actors and playwrights. Marco is a DAMS graduate who studied theatre in Perugia, and who met Francesco Picciotti from Bari, who introduced him to puppet theatre, when he was at university. The Nano Egidio company was started in 2011, and was completed in 2013 with the addition of Giacomo Cappicci.
Nano Egidio stages shows for both children and adults, all done with puppets, marionettes and actors, without sets and with the puppeteers in full view of the audience. It's pure comedy, made up of gags and sketches, and their trilogy, which still remains to be completed, revolves around a main character who is a garden gnome, or nano. The first show is titled Nano Egidio. Una storia vera (season one). The idea is to structure a show as though it were a television series with episodes and seasons, adopting the style of typical TV genres (crime, medical drama, thriller). The characters, which spring from pop culture - fairy tales, comics and cartoons - are completely decontextualised: there's Barbie (a naked doctor), Batman (an apathetic detective) and Dotto (a doctor). Their second show is titled Batman Blues and continues in the direction of the first: mixing genres while keeping puppetry in the spotlight.
In parallel, they carry out other work. 2012's Il paradosso dell'attore 2000 (2012) is about a talentless actor who wants to live off his acting work so he can pay for the acting classes he needs to become a good actor. The show was staged at the Teatro dell'Orologio and Teatro India during Perdutamente. Since 2014, Egidio Nano has been in the cast of the fourth series of the Social Comedy Club, which brings together Roman comics, with the scripted show Luisa uno sguardo Oltralpe. The group is now ready for its next big step: preparing their first web-novella.
The story has been written by Francesco Longo, writer.
From children's theatre to web-novella. The company has won, among other prizes, the exhibition Exploring Space.

Go, Roosevelt, Go.
We all are true to the Gold and Blue,
So, Go Rough Riders, Go...."
Five days ago, at a kosher Italian restaurant, on Wilshire Boulevard, a mini-reunion was held, with much good fellowship. A writer and documentary film maker, 2 architects and a nephrologist, all sharing space in a Chicago high school in the early 50's, met over lunch and reminisced. The writer and the nephrologist had gone to the same grammar school but really hadn't spoken much, except at the 50th reunion. We exchanged stories, and were saddened over the death of our class president. We wondered what had happened to one class mate or another. We talked about old events that only these alumni and the other alumni of that school would remember. We wondered about the diaspora.... how did we end up where we were? What threads link us to one another? We sure didn't talk about blogging or journals, but, heck, one is a writer, and the other is writing a chapter in an architectural textbook, and this writer has just discovered the mad world of blogging, and is following threads in every direction like a maddened tarantula.... well, the threads are a little loose.
So, all it takes is an idea, and a desire to communicate, and lo and behold, here's a place. It may or may not work. It depends on you. I'm going to send this off to a few old Rough Riders and invite you all to send it along, and see if it grows. Those were great times, and you guys were special. So where the h... is Dick Weismehl, Jerry Kolb, my old doubles partner, Harvey Kohr. I know where Mel and Alice are, and where are you, Rough Rider?
And think of Ron, and all he did to keep the flame burning.... Join in.

Mark W. W. Baldwin writes to Kansas Governor Andrew Schoeppel This newspaper article, attached to a letter written to Governor Schoeppel, refers to the upcoming of election of 1944 in which Roosevelt won his fourth term as president. The article acknowledges that throughout the depression and early 1940s African Americans voted for Roosevelt despite the fact that he was a Democrat. Republicans, ashamed they had lost the black vote in previous elections, were trying very hard to get it back. In past elections, African Americans tended to vote as a group which made them one of the most important racial voting groups in the country. The black vote in the 1944 election was very influential in reelecting Roosevelt to his fourth term as president, making him the only president to ever serve more than two consecutive terms.

Ohana Doesn't Mean Good Service
I would definitely call myself a swimwear collector. It's not as fancy, or old or really very valuable than most collectables but when you reside beside the seaside they start to become your everyday clothes. I am usually in them from Friday to Sunday evening, then I have to tell myself its only 4 more days till I'm in coloured lycra/polyester 2 pieces again. I recently bought some fresh new swim digs from Ohana Swimwear, based and designed in Australia, made in China. & I absolutely adore their designs. They come in a range of prices and with different styles and beautiful bold colours. HOWEVER, I wanted to inquire about some extra details that had been left out of the product description but received no email back. After a couple of weeks I went ahead and ordered anyway (with no reply) and sadly ordered 1 item wrong, so I emailed to change it and surprise surprise, nothing back. Customer service is such an important factor of owning a brand, any brand, restaurant, fashion, gameing, whatever it is- you are not 100% responsible for your brands success it is equally your customers help that you are where you are. Super annoyed that they couldn't answer some simple emails, it should be one of a top priority when handling any business, lucky for them they make good looking swimwear.
Love, P x

Filmed in Psychorama, by actual psychos
The first thing Terror in the Haunted House tells us is the special process used in the making of the film: Psychorama. We can only be grateful Hollywood held off as long as they did to release a film made with this "mind-altering, fourth dimension" process. Filmmakers were doubtless waiting for the right time and right film to come along, all the time worried this revolutionary process was too dangerous, too subversive, for audiences to bear. 1958, the height of Eisenhower and sturdy conformity, was the first American epoch deemed sufficiently firm of mind to handle the terrifying properties of Psychorama. This is marginally more believable than the sub-Alfred Hitchcock Presents tale soon to unfold.
Credit: Wikimedia Commons/Oberlin-Apollo TheaterPsychorama exploited a controversial area of psychology known as subliminal messaging. Images inserted into film, no more than milliseconds in length will, the theory goes, compel you to act upon its suggestion; a picture of a Coke, or box of popcorn, will urge you towards the lobby snack bar, for example. Banned in advertising in the UK, subliminal messaging, if it works (and it doesn't, most agree), potentially has the power to make a film-goer do anything, even find a thriller more thrilling, a scare film more scary, than would otherwise be the case. Lucky for us that when the makers of Terror in the Haunted House (1958) used this process, under the unscientific name of Psychorama, they spared cinema owners the cleaning bills and made their subliminal messages lame, obvious and so...non-subliminal.
During moments of high drama in Terror in the Haunted House, you notice flickering faces (a rat, a skull, a boggle-eyed mad professor) or messages ('SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!') appear on-screen, just long enough to notice. The intention of these images is to induce terror upon the 'frights' the film already offers, whereas the effect is more like someone waving a piece of paper in your face with the word 'BOO!' written on it every few minutes. Rhino Videos, on releasing the film on VHS, even added a 'subliminal' message of its own, prompting viewers to use its services every day. Really though, a horror film using visual cue-cards to scare is like adding a straw to a cocktail; an unwelcome addition that will become an annoyance, jabbing you in the eye.
Gimmicks aside, this is a film wanting us to mistake it for Rebecca (1940), with its opening narration of a woman telling us how she dreams of a certain house most nights, a house with a tormented and bloody past. We approach the house, note the letterbox marked 'The Tierneys' (you'll need a scorecard to keep pace with names in this film), then make our way through the door and upstairs towards the attic, where certain death awaits and our voice-over awakes screaming. The narration is Sheila Justin, formerly Sheila Wayne (Kathy O'Donnell), explaining her recurring nightmare to her psychiatrist (Barry Bernard) who is a real psychiatrist, with a clipped beard and one of those swirly things they once used to place people under hypnosis. We are in Switzerland, where Sheila has lived since contracting TB in America as a child, necessitating a long stay in a sanatorium.
Our Swiss miss is soon to leave the mountains for America however, with Philip, her husband of six weeks. The recurring nightmares of the house also began six weeks ago; coincidence, agrees our psychiatrist, who believes Sheila will leave her bad dreams behind in the Alps, suggesting the doctor's brain is as full of holes as the local cheese. Credit: Wikimedia Commons/Swiss Alps 003
After much lengthy discussions of how much the newlyweds love each other, as if they'd known each other all their lives (subliminal plot point there) Sheila and Philip (Gerald Mohr) fly to America and drive to their new home in the Florida Everglades. And knock me down with a 'gator, it's the home Sheila sees in her dreams each night. Philip persuades, then hassles and finally demands Sheila enters the house, despite her obvious fear, and soon Sheila is screaming at every sound and sight, more often than not while in her nightdress.
We soon meet Jonah (John Qualen), a janitor straight out of the Scooby-Doo book of creepy caretakers, and Mark Snell (Bill Ching), the owner of the property. Philip takes a dislike to Mark, and the pair seem acquainted with each other; both know more than are letting on, although Mark does call Sheila 'Mrs Tierney' in an oh-what-a-giveaway moment. Jonah meanwhile relates the terrible story behind the house; the 'curse' of the Tierney family caused grandfather Tierney to lose his mind. Sensing two of his sons carried the curse, he lured them into the attic and killed them with an axe, then dropped dead himself.
A grandson, away at college, escaped the bloodbath, but never returned home. Dear old grandpa also had a headstrong daughter, Lydia, who died giving birth to Mark Snell, the result of a roll in the hay with one of the stable boys. All this sounds familiar to Sheila, who remarks the tales sound as if they'd happened to her, a long time ago (another subliminal plot point). Another curse afflicts the Tierney home, inconsistent day-to-night filming, unless running out of a studio house at night into a broad daylight exterior shot is part of Sheila's madness.
Credit: Wikimedia Commons/A Darryl F Zanuck ProductionThe scares (and their Psychorama accompaniments) come thick and fast for Sheila, whose bed rest takes on a Yellow Wallpaper hue. Ghostly figures appear at the window; the janitor's dog turns on her; a chandelier almost crashed down on Sheila's head; Jonah...keeps being Jonah. All the while, Philip makes himself as suspicious as possible, wandering the grounds at night, eavesdropping on Sheila's conversations, trying to force her upstairs to the dreaded attic and generally behaving like a complete jackass. If only the distributor cap hadn't 'mysteriously' gone missing from the car, all this could be put behind her, except her bad dreams, which have surprise surprise, followed Sheila to her new home. Mark seems sensible enough, calmly filling in the gaps of the cursed Tierney history, and Sheila finds herself siding with the only character not acting like a lunatic. We learn Sheila has lived at this house before, as a child of a friend of the family. She now recalls a boy she played with who she loved very much, but everything is vague before the special holiday in the sanatorium.
As Chekov once put it, if you introduce a gun in the first act, you had better use it by the fifth, and after confronting Philip with her suspicions and concluding she loves him too much to go against him, Philip hauls his wife up to the attic, amidst a flurry of Psychorama freaky faces. What will we find there? The janitor's spook-projecting machine? Bela Lugosi's eyes? A giant Scottish frog?
Spoilers! There's nothing in the attic. Not that the budget is so small that an empty space is Sheila's nemesis (Hollywood's shallowness is of an unselfconscious sort and so never embraced existentialism), but this is where the murders took place, twenty years ago. One of the dead was Philip's father; Philip Justin is in truth, the last of the Tierneys and the little boy Sheila remembers as her loving friend. Sheila Wayne/Justin/Tierney witnessed the killings and whisked away to Switzerland soon after, for nothing is better for acute childhood trauma than transplantation to a foreign country with a different language and legions of cuckoo clocks. After college, Philip vowed to track down his childhood sweetheart and changed his name to cover his tracks. And now Sheila recalls something else – the killer wasn't old man Tierney, it was Jonah! (In short, everything you knew was wrong).
Sadly, Jonah died after taking an assisted plunge down the stairs earlier on. Mark Snell, now revealed as Jonah's son (Lydia's dalliance was with Jonah, which says a lot for how much she hated her own father), is on hand to fight Philip, who lost out on the Tierney inheritance, thanks to Jonah's axe-wielding intervention. Mark dies, oh the irony, falling on an axe, and we have our happy ending, and without a Psychorama smiley face to make us even happier.
As is often the case, the story behind the film is as interesting as the one presented to the audience. Kathy O'Donnell, born as Ann Steely (what is it with these names?), won a contract with MGM and made her debut in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). O'Donnell followed this success with the acclaimed noir They Live by Night (1948). That same year however, O'Donnell married the older brother of MGM director William Wyler, who had fallen out with studio chief Samuel Goldwyn. The mogul reacted to the marriage by cancelling O'Donnell's contract.
The marriage lasted, but O'Donnell's career did not, drifting through the 1950s from one mediocre film or forgotten TV episode to the next. O'Donnell's preceding film to Terror in the Haunted House was the infamous debacle The Story of Mankind (1957), home to every piece of miscasting known to Hollywood, but O'Donnell's film career did at least end with one of the biggest films of the decade, Ben-Hur (1959). An astute viewer can detect in O'Donnell's performance traces of an actor who knew she deserved a better vehicle for her talent, and someone who rather wished it was still the 1940s.
Playing Philip Tierney with hard-bitten ease is Gerald Mohr, a man born of Austrian parents bemused no doubt to find their genes collaborating to produce a Humphrey Bogart clone. This Credit: Wikimedia Commons/CBS Radiofluke of physiognomy helped Mohr to a career of B-film thrillers and, like O'Donnell, various knock-off noir movies. Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans may recall Mohr's 1952 film Invasion USA, while he also turned in a memorable appearance as the Devil in the Lost in Space episode 'A Visit to Hades.' Mohr also starred in the only other film made in Psychorama, the gritty 1959 thriller Date with Death, which, although made with the same director and writer, garnered more respectable reviews than its subliminal stable mate. The Angry Red Planet (1960), another film made with an 'experimental' process, 'Cinemagic', which looks like the result of the Jim Beam developing the film, also featured Mohr in the lead role. Looks like the Tierneys weren't the only ones cursed.
Bill Ching, who plays Mark with a kind of literate oafishness, shared billing with the real Bogart in 1950's In a Lonely Place and starred in the respected DOA in the same year. Ching also made three appearances in the TV anthology Science Fiction Theater before his career fizzled out not long after Terror in the Haunted House.
By contrast, John Qualen (janitor Jonah) enjoyed a long career stretching from the late 1930s to the early 1970s, taking in roles in classics such as Casablanca (1942), The Searchers (1956), Grapes of Wrath (1940), I the Jury (1953) and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). Chances are if you saw a film of that era featuring an eccentric character of Scandinavian stock, you saw John Qualen. Quite what Qualen thought of Terror in the Haunted House, with its dime store Halloween tricks, and on-the-fly character motivation, went unrecorded, unless he told people using subliminal messages.

Bonneville Transloaders, Inc.
Bonneville Transloaders, Inc.
Bonneville Transloaders, Inc. (BTI) was founded in Wyoming in 1985 to provide an alternative to the high freight rates being charged by the local railroad. Jim King and Ron Vosika believed they could provide a competitively priced soda ash transportation service for southwestern Wyoming.
Their idea involved moving soda ash from mines in the Green River Basin of Wyoming, 200 miles north to a rail facility for shipment to markets on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.
BTI received a $460,000 SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loan, in March of 1986 for the startup costs and used the funds to acquire a small fleet of semi-tractors and trailers. Cliff Root, CEO, joined the company in 1985 along with approximately 30 other employees. The company has grown, with sales in 2009 of over $20 million. Presently, the company has more than 110 trucks on the road at any given time.
BTI is hazmat certified to haul dry and liquid materials and requires stringent safety, security, and environmental training for their current 174 employees. Cliff noted that keeping up with the changes in environmental rules and regulations, along with trucking & railroad regulations has been a challenge.
In addition to their headquarters in Riverton, Wyoming, the company has terminals in Kemmerer, and Moorcroft, Wyoming and Wells, Nevada. Today, they are involved in transporting a variety of bulk products including coal, soda ash, CO2, Sulfur, Hydrochloric Acid, Bentonite, Lime, Fertilizers, and Aggregates.
