<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10972" title="Stephenie Meyer" src="http://twilightsingapore.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/normal_meyerx-large.jpg" alt="" width="297" height="400" /></p>
<p>Stephenie has recently answer a WHOLE lot of the fan&#8217;s questions ever since <strong><em>The Twilight Saga: New Moon</em></strong> has hit the theaters! Questions about her books to her opinion on the movies and even one about Midnight Sun! Here&#8217;s a couple of them:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>What was your favorite thing about Chris Weitz and how was his interpretation of the books different from Catherine Hardwicke? &#8211; Mira N.</strong></p>
<p>My favorite thing about Chris Weitz: everything. Sounds hyperbole-ish, but he&#8217;s really that amazing. If you follow along on some of the cast interviews you&#8217;ll hear the same thing over and over. We all adore Chris. I would have to say that my very favorite thing about Chris as a director, coming from my unique position, is his passion for being true to the source material. He really immersed himself in the Twilight world and came to the set with the feel of it already in his head. We were very much on the same page. Second thing, he listens really well—to everybody, cast and crew.</p>
<p>In comparing <em>New Moon</em> to <em>Twilight</em>, I would say that the biggest difference in style is that Chris is more classic while Catherine is a little more edgy and modern. I wouldn&#8217;t want both movies to be the same, though. I like seeing different interpretations. After all, no two people see the same thing when they read a novel. I enjoy seeing that visually.</p>
<p>After that, I gave up the idea of creating a fake city and just hoped the people of Volterra did not mind a few vampires. When I went to visit a few years back, all the people I talked to were totally fine with the vampires—what had upset them was the fountain. They don&#8217;t have one, and think their square is perfect without it.</p>
<p><strong>Do you make any appearances in the New Moon movie? &#8211; Mandy, Captain of Official Team Jacob</strong></p>
<p>Nope. I felt really awkward doing the first one, and I still have to cover my eyes for that part of the movie. I decided this time I didn&#8217;t want to do anything like that, and it never came up, so problem averted!</p>
<p><strong>My question for you is&#8230;. are you at all surprised by the variety in age of your readers? I am 32 years old and absolutely loved your books, and I know I am not alone, in many discussion groups I have found there are 30, 40, even 50 somethings reading twilight. Thanks and keep writing! &#8211; Amy B. </strong></p>
<p>Because I wrote <em>Twilight</em> for my twenty-nine-year-old self and not for a future YA audience, it always made sense to me that women my age would get it the same way I did. Are you ever too old to remember falling in love for the first time?</p>
<p><strong>I was wondering what made you choose Italy for the home of the Volturi? Is there a special meaning about Italy in your life or was it a random setting? Thanks :] &#8211; Kerry K.</strong></p>
<p>I chose Italy because I needed a place with a really long history. Choosing Volterra itself was a strange thing. I wrote the whole Volturi scene before I&#8217;d picked a location for it. For the first time, I was planning to create a fictional city, because at this point, I was starting to realize that people were actually going to read this book, and I was nervous about what the real life citizens of Forks would think, and more especially what the real life people of La Push would think—I&#8217;d taken some rather big liberties with their fictional history, and I wasn&#8217;t sure if they would find it amusing or irritating. So, to avoid similar moments of panic, I decided to set my clan of ancient ruling vampires in a made up place. I was going to call this place &#8220;Volturin,&#8221; and I knew it needed to be located in Tuscany about an hour or two from Florence—I&#8217;d already written the drive from the airport. I&#8217;d also already written my descriptions of the plaza and clock tower and Volturi turret. So I pull up a map of Tuscany, trying to decide if Alice should drive north, south, east, or west, and look at that—there is a city named Volterra just about an hour from Florence. So I google image search Volterra, and the very first picture that comes up is the Volterra clock tower. Chills. I called my sister (who&#8217;d already read about my fictional Volturin) and told her to go look at Volterra. She freaked, too, because she&#8217;d pictured it the same way, too. It was actually a rather creepy moment.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://beeryeti.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/primevalheartsposter.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-609" title="PrimevalHeartsPoster" src="http://beeryeti.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/primevalheartsposter.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="393" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>The Beer Yeti starts work on film script</em></strong></p>
<p>As troubling as it is to see Yeti awareness eclipsed by the movie<em> Twilight</em>, this phenomenon is a wake up call to the many cryptozoologists whose efforts have previously reached only the elusive &#8220;Unemployed, White Male with Interest in Dungeons &#38; Dragons&#8221; demographic.</p>
<p>The masses are completely enthralled by the vapid and contrived story of forbidden love betwixt a powerful, brooding vampire, and a weak, brooding girl.</p>
<p>What does all this say about our society? Easy. &#8220;People love cryptids.&#8221;</p>
<p>Think about this. If legions of people are willing to unlimber their wallets to watch a conflicted vampire run around climbing trees and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfg3BcW-w4E">playing baseball</a>, imagine the cinematic effect of the unrestrained physical and emotional power of the Yeti?</p>
<p>Before us is the opportunity to hurtle the Yeti into the social prominence his attributes and habits merit, unlike <em>Twilight</em>, which draws attention to the overdressed and insipid creatures intent on undermining every good and decent portrayal of a vampire since <em>Nosferatu</em>.</p>
<p>If this bad film is making bank, the possibilities for a well-done film with the same themes are endless.</p>
<p>The Beer Yeti has taken steps to begin production of a film series showcasing actual spontaneous romance, and a truly sinister and compelling love interest.</p>
<p>Obviously a Yeti would be the most sinister and compelling love interest ever. Primarily because they eternally burn with unquenchable hate, and feel no emotions akin to love for anything but their own freedom.</p>
<p>Consider a few key characteristics of Edward Cullen ( the vampire love interest in <em>Twilight</em>) as compared to the Yeti.</p>
<p><strong>Edward Cullen:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>voyeuristic wanker</li>
<li>attends high school when he doesn&#8217;t have to</li>
<li>doesn&#8217;t drive an American made car (hates freedom)</li>
<li>crippled by self-loathing, but still manages to do all that work to his hair</li>
<li>wastes post-natural physical development (football team could have used him)</li>
<li>condescending toward local Native American inhabitants (racist)</li>
<li>handsome</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Yeti:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Compelled only by freedom</li>
<li>Physical strength of roughly 10 to 12 Yaks</li>
<li>Unparalleled cunning</li>
<li>Perfectly attuned to natural environment</li>
<li>Equitably hates all races and cultures</li>
<li>Lacks characteristics Western Culture would consider to be physically appealing</li>
</ul>
<p>That said, The Beer Yeti is bending all the creative power of our staff toward the development of a script for  our &#8220;Crypto-Romance&#8221; series.<!--more--></p>
<p>The obvious problem presented to us is how to create a sympathetic love interest out of an ugly, unfeeling and malevolent beast that devours people?</p>
<p>Gary in Accounting pointed out the availability of shape shifting to our script writers. The integrity of the Yeti can be maintained, without the absolute absence of aesthetically pleasing characters and an emotional component to the plot. Plus, unlike <em>Twilight&#8217;s</em> vampires, <a href="http://beeryeti.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/scientific-community-astounded-by-shape-shifting-were-squatch/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">shape-shifters are real</span></a>.</p>
<p>From the fertile soil of the staff meeting sprung up the idea of-</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Primeval Hearts</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hounded by loneliness and rage, Raoul Derelicht stalked the uninhabited valleys of the Himalayas. </em></p>
<p><em>The transformations were getting harder to control. He remembered that night so many years ago, when the first shape shift had forever ended his life of idle wealth in Vienna. That night the rage and untamed strength had subsided in a blood spattered alley, and Raoul knew his family would never be safe as long as he was a Were-Yeti. It had been two years since he had seen a human face.</em></p>
<p><em>Two long years of isolation and savage subsistence among the other beasts. Hardships in the mountains had bronzed and hardened his Adonis-like features, and his unkempt mane swept down to his waist. Constant training with his Plasma Battle Mallet had packed on gratuitous amounts of lean muscle.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Raoul first saw Mei Ling when the opium dealer&#8217;s cargo shuttle crash landed in a ravine a mile below his lair. He had scoured the mountains of its outlaw inhabitants in the first three months living there. Now he was finally alone. </em></p>
<p><em>Then the smugglers came.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Raoul first saw Mei Ling when the smuggling shuttle crash landed in the ravine a mile below his lair&#8230;<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p>We don&#8217;t want to give away the entire plot of the movie, but you can rest assured that the Were Yeti is no house-trained vampire. A lot of  Yeti justice and ass kicking is going to be doled out with the protagonist&#8217;s Plasma Battle Mallet, easily the most bad-ass weapon that science has never produced.</p>
<p>Obviously, the best actor for this role is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQi9VqpOLOQ"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Dolph Lundgren</span></a>, but&#8230;</p>
<p>We would be willing to <em>consider</em> Robert Pattinson ( of <em>Twilight</em>) for the role of Raoul Derelicht. Instead of prancing around to a script that reads like a 14 year old&#8217;s diary, Pattinson would have the dreamed of opportunity to star as the greatest protagonist ever devised: a shape shifting Were-Yeti.</p>
<p>If Conan the Destroyer, Bond, the Yeti, moonshine and a bolt of lightning all melded into one, this would be the character of Raoul Derelicht that Pattinson<em> could</em> be playing.</p>
<p>This will be a the greatest moral choice, and greatest career opportunity of Pattinson&#8217;s life. We only hope he is able to rise to the challenge.</p>

<p>Mike Lawler worked for Runde&#8217;s full-time while he went to high school.  After graduating, Mike went off to college, but he still comes back to work here when he comes back home.  While Mike was here for the Thanksgiving weekend, we took a few minutes to chat with him and find out what college life is like.</p>
<p>RAC: Where are you going to college?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: Western Illinois University &#8212; It’s about two and a half hours away.</span></p>
<p>RAC: And do you have your own car?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: Yeah, a 2000 Cavalier Z24.</span></p>
<p>RAC: Nice.  Aluminum wheels?  Air Conditioning?  Cruise Control?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: Yes sir.</span></p>
<p>RAC: Prodigious!  Do you like college so far? You’re going to the school in Macomb, IL right?</p>

<p>ML: Yeah the school’s nice.  Macomb’s a smaller town – I think it’s about 20,000 people.</p>
<p></span></p>
<p>RAC: Runde’s sells a lot of vehicles to people from Macomb.  Do you see any cars that you maybe got ready for pick-up or took pictures of?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: I definitely see a lot of vehicles running around with Runde stickers.  I can’t tell for sure if there’s one that I prepped or washed, but yeah there’s probably a couple.</span></p>
<p>RAC: What are you majoring in?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: History, I plan to get my teaching certification.</span></p>
<p>RAC:  So you want to be a teacher?  What for, high school?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: Yeah high school, why are you looking at me like that?</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML:  Definitely not.  No.</span></p>

<p>RAC:  What are your plans for Thanksgiving.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML:  We usually head over to relatives in Dubuque.  My mom, her sisters, and my grandma all pitch in to cook the meal.  After Thanksgiving weekend, I’ll head back to school to finish out the semester.</span></p>
<p>RAC: What’s your school mascot?  Isn’t it the Saluki’s.</p>

<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: For me it would have to be something fuel efficient, because I drive back and forth from home. Are you talking about like the coolness of it or what?</span></p>
<p>RAC: I don’t know&#8230; I’m just asking. So your talking, for you personally it would be a vehicle where you could fold the 3 rows of seats down and pile the whole world in it, and still get 40 miles per gallon?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">ML: I don’t think that vehicle exists…</span></p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>it&#8217;s a late review on the new moon movie, but i was there on its opening day in cinema to watch with my hubby.</p>
<p>well, twilight has been a big hit here in the philippines. most of its audiences are the teenies, who giggles for the love story of edward and bela.</p>
<p>personally, i find the 2nd installment of twilight, which is the new moon a little cute. but it&#8217;s like just an extender of the life struggles of the main characters of the story. a lot of teens appreciated the concept of the whole story, because it&#8217;s part of their genre. in terms of the intellectual side, it does&#8217;nt challenged me at all. the context was so plain, that just became a little more exciting because of the vampire and wolf thing added to it that makes it twisted.</p>
<p>cinematography wise, it&#8217;s cool.. but the phasing of the story was quite slow, and tame. anyways, this movie is still a hit to the young giggling teens who looks at the concept of love in a subtle way. and oviously, there&#8217;s another installment for this.. the edward and bela nuptial..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Well, I have waited almost a week before reviewing the movie and I still don&#8217;t know what to write!  I knew that I wanted to see this movie at the cinema &#8211; I mean who doesn&#8217;t love a vampire movie on the big screen!  But I wasn&#8217;t really sure if I wanted to see it when it first came out &#8211; or when a bit of time had passed and I could watch it without the queues and the jostling for the best seat in the theatre.  But as luck would have it, a friend bought me a ticket for the opening Friday night.</p>
<p>Now first thing to be noted was the theatre was absolutely packed.  I mean I had to sit right up the front &#8211; the whole theatre was booked out.  Now I&#8217;m used to having at least a few seats free around me &#8211; Do you remember the last time you were at the cinema and it was packed?? But last Friday, we got there so &#8216;late&#8217; that we had to sit 5 rows from the front! 5! Luckily, I had a really comfy seat &#8211; because I have to admit that it was a little too close for me!! </p>
<p>As for the movie&#8230; I guess it depends how you feel about the first movie, or even the books.  I liked the first book, but was unsure of the first movie.  The second book I thought was  pretty good &#8211; so I was hoping that the movie would live up to the hype.  I think this time it does.  The special effects are better, the adherence to the books are better, and even the music is better! (I think!!)  One thing to be aware of though.  If you are going to sit right up the front &#8211; know that there are some camera angles that might have you wishing that you were able to snag a seat in the back row.</p>
<p>What do you think of New Moon?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://kristinmaschka.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/screen-shot-2009-11-25-at-4-30-43-pm.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-424" title="Screen shot 2009-11-25 at 4.30.43 PM" src="http://kristinmaschka.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/screen-shot-2009-11-25-at-4-30-43-pm.png?w=232" alt="" width="232" height="300" /></a>First, a confession. I&#8217;ve only read the first book, and long after everyone else had, and I haven&#8217;t seen either movie. Truth be told I don&#8217;t even have plans to see <a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/">New Moon</a>, but <strong>I&#8217;m a fan anyway</strong>. Why? Because the powerful phenomenon that is <a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/">Twilight </a>has <strong>force enough to overcome another invisible, insidious, ancient force &#8211; the assumptions mothers have that keep them from taking time for themselves</strong>.</p>
<p>Typically, it&#8217;s hard to get mothers to go to a movie, for most of us, the last movie &#8211; okay, the last 5 movies &#8211; we&#8217;ve seen involved animation and keeping small children from dumping slurpees in their lap &#8211; or ours. We&#8217;re saddled with an assumption that &#8220;Good mothers don&#8217;t give up time with their children for their own interests or to have fun.&#8221; Yet over the past few weeks I&#8217;ve watched mother friends plot and plan and scheme and conspire to get to <a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/">New Moon</a> by themselves or with friends. Not only that, but I&#8217;ve watched <strong>husbands </strong>scheme to arrange for their wives to get to the movie! For one, her husband organized her birthday party around a surprise trip to see the movie. For another friend, out with her family one night, her husband said &#8220;Hey, New Moon starts right here in 15, you go and I&#8217;ll take the kids home.&#8221;</p>
<p>So yes, I&#8217;m a fan. <strong>If Twilight can manage to help mothers believe that it is okay for them to take some time for themselves simply for fun, and then actually do it, then I&#8217;m a fan.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Why do I have to be wrong for you to be right?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you why.  At our core, we are all judgers.  That&#8217;s <em>judgers, judgers, judgers</em>.</p>
<p>From the first moment we see someone &#8212; whether in person, in a photo, or in a Youtube video &#8212; we dissect their looks, voice, dress and actions, and in a matter of seconds, decide whether they are worthy of our time.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a wonder we have any friends at all.</p>
<p>Now, obviously, there are some people who pass our test. The men featured in the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive issue of <em>People</em> magazine were judged exceptionally attractive by a national panel of editors.  There has also been an obsessive frenzy surrounding the stars of the &#8220;Twilight&#8221; movie franchise.  Those actors have been judged worthy of their fans&#8217; time, attention and somewhat scary mania.</p>
<p>But probably most fascinating to me is how quick people are to judge <em>other </em>people who like something that they don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Twilight&#8221; movies are a great example.  The fans of this franchise have been practically demonized by those who haven&#8217;t read the books or seen the movies.  The <a href="http://nymag.com/nymag/letters/62248/" target="blank">Comments page</a> of this week&#8217;s <em>New York </em>magazine was brutal.  One reader said of the Twilight moms: “Their poor children, and their poor husbands! I wish they’d get some  perspective and see how sad they really look.”</p>
<p>Wow.  There&#8217;s some judging going on there.</p>
<p>Why can&#8217;t people just be different?  Or think differently?  Or, god forbid, like different things?</p>
<p><em>Why do they have to be inherently wrong? </em></p>
<p>We say &#8216;live and let live,&#8217; but as a society, we don&#8217;t practice what we preach.  What we really mean to say is,  &#8216;let <em>me </em>live the way I want, and <em>you</em> live my way, too&#8230;&#8217;cause if you live or think differently or enjoy different things, that&#8217;s <em>wrong.&#8217;</em></p>
<p>Now, &#8220;Twilight&#8221; isn&#8217;t the most important issue in the world &#8212; believe me, I know.  But it&#8217;s also not the most deadly, god-awful, dangerous book ever written.  Teenage girls and their families are exposed to more controversial things on episodes of &#8220;Gossip Girl&#8221; &#8212; can you say three-way? &#8212; so I find it interesting that people are trash-talking a very old-fashioned romance with vampires.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like the series, that&#8217;s fine.  That&#8217;s your choice. But other people liking it isn&#8217;t wrong&#8230;it&#8217;s simply <em>their</em> choice.</p>
<p>So, stop your judging.  That&#8217;s right.  I&#8217;m looking at you.  Judger.</p>
<p><em>That&#8217;s judger, judger, judger.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#333333;">Twilight Poster</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144" title="twilight scholarization" src="http://scholarization.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/twilight-scholarization1.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="756" />Twilight is a series of four vampire-based fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. It charts a period in the life of Isabella &#8220;Bella&#8221; Swan, a teenage girl who moves to Forks, Washington and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen. The series is told primarily from Bella&#8217;s point of view, with the epilogue of Eclipse and Part II of Breaking Dawn being told from the viewpoint of character Jacob Black, a werewolf. The unpublished Midnight Sun is a retelling of the first book, Twilight, from Edward Cullen&#8217;s point of view.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#333333;">Twilight </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://scholarization.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/twilight-scholarization2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145" title="twilight-scholarization" src="http://scholarization.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/twilight-scholarization2.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="367" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="KonaBody">
<p>It&#8217;s probably a pretty safe bet to say that you have a desire to succeed in a home based business of your own. After all, there&#8217;s a good reason why you&#8217;re reading these words, right? It could be that you&#8217;ve already found your work from home business opportunity and now it&#8217;s time for you to take action and turn that opportunity into a legitimate and profitable business.</p>
<p>Are you feeling a little bit frustrated though? Perhaps your desire for success is not the issue but rather knowing what to do in order to achieve success in your home business is the problem. Well, rest assured that, at this point, if you have only the desire to succeed but nothing else, congratulations, you&#8217;re already well on your way to success in your home based business. There is still a fair amount of work which needs to be done but your desire does have you pointed in the right direction. </p>
<p>With a desire to succeed in business being your most important quality, the second most important quality you can possess is a willingness to fail. Failing or stinking at something is always the prerequisite to succeeding at it. As long as you&#8217;re willing to get into the game, roll up your sleeves and make the necessary mistakes then your eventual success can become a reality.</p>
<p>To help you along in your journey to a successful home based business &#8211; or any type of business for that matter &#8211; there is an evolutionary rite of passage which all successful entrepreneurs must go through.</p>
<p>Understand that as long as you&#8217;re willing to progress through the following four steps then you will see exactly how your own home based business development will unfold.</p>
<p>Step 1<br />
Unconscious Incompetence &#8211; this is when you stink at something and you don&#8217;t even know that you stink. This is where all business professionals begin. You can read all the books on business ever printed but you are never an entrepreneur until you begin the business building process for yourself. And when you do begin the process, be willing to make your mistakes. Expect to make many mistakes and be easy on yourself when you do. Nobody was born an expert at anything. Hang in and resist the temptation to throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble.</p>
<p>Step 2<br />
Conscious Incompetence &#8211; this is when you still stink but at least you now know that you stink. Or, more importantly, you now know what it is you stink at. Once you begin to realize where your business building skills are deficient you can take the steps necessary to improve those skills. Maybe you have a natural gift for speaking with people but are not very adept at marketing or time management. Recognizing your shortcomings is the necessary first step to fixing those shortcomings.</p>
<p>Step 3<br />
Conscious Competence &#8211; this is when you&#8217;re getting good at business and you can feel and see yourself improving in the areas where you needed help. This is when you go through your business day recalling and applying the business building techniques and strategies you&#8217;ve been studying. Business success is coming easier for you as you can now efficiently apply the things you&#8217;ve been learning. The most important part of this step is the increase you&#8217;ll experience in your self confidence. The higher the confidence you have in your abilities the easier your business building becomes.</p>
<p>Step 4<br />
Unconscious Competence &#8211; this is it, when you&#8217;ve arrived at this step you&#8217;ve reached the entrepreneurial summit. This is when business success flows effortlessly. In this phase of being an entrepreneur your business building becomes second nature. You&#8217;ll seem to always say the right things at the right time, you&#8217;ll make the right decisions and success will just seem to flow naturally. Even when you reach this step it is still probable that you&#8217;ll make an occasional mistake. But, because of the knowledge and experience gained, the mistakes made will most likely have a far less negative impact.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s now consolidate these 4 crucial steps: Do you want to become a great home based entrepreneur? You first have to work at becoming a good one. Do you want to become a good one? You first need a willingness to be a mediocre one. And in order to be a mediocre entrepreneur you need to jump into the game as a lousy one.</p>
<p>There are no shortcuts to success. Many a home business failure is the result of a well intentioned person searching for and taking shortcuts. However, and this is the reason why so many people fail in business, there are no shortcuts to success.</p>
<p>Do you desire long lasting success? It all starts with gaining knowledge. Applied knowledge becomes experience and experience eventually becomes success.</p>
<p>There is no better way to gain knowledge then through reading good, quality books. All it can take is just one good book on the topic of success to get your wheels in motion.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="KonaBody">
<p>The central focus of my company, www.SelfStorageInvesting.com, is to arm the self-storage investor with the specific tools necessary to identify potential acquisition candidates, to acquire and manage those facilities once they have identified them, to implement sound techniques for creating value, and finally, to capture all of that value through various exit strategies.  The process by which all of this can be accomplished rests on five keys that I feel are crucial to success.  These keys do not deal with the mechanical processes involved in buying and selling self storage facilities, but are grounded in principles that are fundamental to life itself.  These laws deal with the human psyche and govern our thoughts, which in turn, direct our actions.  The failure to understand these keys, which have proven to provide the foundation for success, continually result in many investors defeat.     </p>
<p>Principle # 1  Overcome Fear of Failure<br />
Probably the greatest obstacle to getting started in any business venture is that demon we call FEAR.  Just as we have to include risk in our equation of success, so must we include fear.  This is not to say that we have to fail first to become successful, rather we must acknowledge that the possibility of failure exists.  Failure is a natural part of learning, and as crazy as it sounds, I am extremely thankful for the MANY failures I have endured over my real estate investment career.  It is a completely natural process, and just because you fail, doesnt mean you are a failure.  Unfortunately, however, I have seen many people that have been defeated by the fear of failure.   Some dont even make it to the failure stage because they were too afraid to try; they were afraid of failing.  Some people fear the unknown because it represents areas beyond the boundaries of their comfort zone.  Mostly, they fear what others may think of them!  They fear ridicule by their friends, and even worse, ridicule by their own families.  This fear has stopped more would be successful investors than all other factors or considerations combined.  </p>
<p>Some friends act as an anchor placed around your shoulders, holding you firmly in place, keeping you from reaching your true potential.   I have done my best to surround myself will people who act as buoys, who lift me up, rather than hold me down.  I am more selective in whom I spend time with as I grow older, choosing to spend time with people who have a similar, positive approach they take to work while glorifying God with the time they spend on his earth.  As your friends and your family witness your progress, eventually, their attitudes will change, and you may even discover that they will probably start coming to you for advice from time to time.</p>
<p>Principle # 2  Setting Goals  <br />
A BHAGs (or Big Hairy Audacious Goal) is defined by Jim Collins in his books Good to Great and Built To Last, as a huge and daunting goal-like a big mountain to climb.  It is clear, compelling, and people get it right away.  A BHAG serves as a unifying focal point of effort that keeps you striving toward a pre-defined finish line.  I would compare it to the 1960s NASA moon mission where President Kennedys goal of reaching the moon captured the countrys imagination and grabbed people in the gut.  Your BHAG should be quantifiable and possess some timeframe associated with it.  Jim Collins went on to describe The Five Criteria of a good BHAG as follows: <br />
1.Are set with understanding, not bravado. <br />
2.Fit within the parameters of what you are deeply passionate about, what you can be the best in the world at, and what drives the economic engine of your company.  <br />
3.Have a long time frame10 to 30 years. <br />
4.Are clear, compelling and easy to grasp. <br />
5.Directly reflect your core values and core purpose. </p>
<p>It is much easier to become a great organization than to remain a great organization over time.  To remain great over time requires, staying focused on what you are deeply passionate about, what you do the best, and what is most profitable in your investing career.  For me and my company, my clear and quantifiable BHAG is to reach 1,000,000 square feet within 5 years.  This will allow my organization to be elevated to a place in the industry that opens up a whole new world of opportunities with regard to lending, vendor discounts, and status within the various trade associations.  However, this is not at the expense of compromising my core values and purpose, which are intertwined with my BHAG and communicated to every member of my organization.  </p>
<p>Principle #3 &#8211; Establishing Priorities<br />
Setting Goals however, doesnt do you or your organization any good without a game plan in place to achieve them.  This starts with prioritizing your activities on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis to ultimately conquer your BHAG.  John D. Rockefeller, The founder of Standard oil who went on to build one of our countrys most successful organizations, was a master at prioritizing the activities of his firm to ensure that it attained his goals.   After studying his biography Titan by Ron Chernow, I was compelled to adopt his principles of prioritizing my activities by breaking them down into different levels.  I have now established the top 5 priorities for the year and quarter and a clear top 1 priority along with an appropriate Theme.  Beyond that, everyone in my organization has their own handful of priorities that align with my firms top priority.  To reinforce this and to ensure were all rowing in the same direction, I review our company data on a daily and weekly basis to verify each team members performance.  I also conduct weekly meetings to maintain alignment with our goals and to drive accountability.  Remember, if it isnt written down and measured, it doesnt get done.  These priorities change from year to year, but as an example, we recently set a priority to keep collections below 5% beyond 30 days across all our properties.  The managers report on this weekly and at our meetings we strategize and share ideas and best practices that the managers have used to successfully reach their goals.  </p>
<p>Principle # 4  Perseverance<br />
The will to persevere is not only crucial to ones success in the real estate investment industry; it is crucial for success in all aspects of ones life.   The ability to endure whatever challenges life throws at you is essential for personal development and growth, and it is especially true for the attainment of wealth.  If you wish to accumulate wealth, then you must be willing to dedicate a great deal of effort to that end.  Creating wealth by building a self storage empire is just like any other skill you choose to master.  It takes persistence, patience, and the will to persevere.  </p>
<p>Think of a skill that you are particularly adept at.  Whatever that skill is, if you are like most people, you have honed and developed that skill over the years and you now possess it as the result of your dedication and the will to excel in your chosen field.  In other words, it wasnt handed to you; nothing in life worth having is.  A good illustration is that kid we all knew in school whose parents gave him or her everything they wanted.  Remember the way they took care of what was handed to them?  I remember a friend of mine who didnt care if he broke his toys, left his bikes out in the yard, and eventually destroyed every car he ever owned because he knew it would always be replaced by his parents.  Eventually, these kids grow into irresponsible adults who lack crucial skills necessary to not only navigate life, but rarely do they learn what it takes to accumulate wealth.  </p>
<p>Perseverance is a conditioning process that is best learned in our youth.  Perhaps, like me, you have been conditioned by your environment in your formative years.  Family and friends have told you that you cannot do it; you dont have what it takes; thats a risky idea; or I know someone who tried that and failed miserably.  This continual negative assault may have slowed or halted your progress.  Perhaps some of your past attempts did fail, bruising your ego, and you began to believe what the naysayers were throwing at you.  I know some people who were in this same situation, and to alleviate the pain, they just gave up.  It was too hard for them to see through the darkness and trust that things were going to turn around, and that success was not as far away as they had thought.  In order to persevere, you must recognize that the short term sacrifices you endure now will be well worth the long-term benefits you will eventually enjoy.   After all, they say Thomas Edison experimented with over 6,000 different materials before he was able to find a suitable filament for the light bulb.    And in the often quoted words of Winston Churchill to Great Britain when it seemed that all hope was lost and the Germans were invading his country and threatening to overthrow him, Never, Ever Give in!  </p>
<p>Principle # 5 &#8211; Developing your Purpose<br />
I firmly believe that it is just as important to know why you are going on this journey as it is to know where you are going on the journey.  And on a more philosophical level, you may be asking yourself, what is my purpose in life?  What exactly is it that I hope to achieve in this process of wealth accumulation, and what do I plan to do once I have achieved my goals?  The answer will be different for everyone, and may take some genuine reflection and or prayer to find the answer.  For me, my ultimate goal was to build a business that would  provide enough cash flow to meet my financial needs both today, and the future, and allow a great deal of free time to serve God, and be with my family without having to be overly active in the day to day operations of those businesses.  I have been extremely blessed to edge ever closer to achieving that goal and I am beginning to reap the rewards after many years of following my plan.  One such benefits is having enough time to write this home study course in an effort to help others, and to give of myself as so many people have given to me.  </p>
<p>The challenges of wealth accumulation challenges one to grow in ways you never thought possible.  It provides a bridge to a higher plane in life by empowering you to reach your full potential.  Wealth enables you to enrich the lives of those around you who may not be as fortunate for any number of reasons.  I believe that purpose is much greater than to amass riches simply for the sake of serving myself.  Once you are fortunate enough to have achieved your objectives, much happiness lies in the giving of yourself and of that which you have attained through your labors.  I believe that God gives me what will flow through me and that if I honor him as the steward of the business which he has entrusted to me, then he will enrich me knowing that I will pass those blessings along to others.  This sense of purpose gives me hope, everyday, for a higher quality of life, and hope to someday ease the pain of those with heavy burdens.  </p>
<p>A sense of purpose can help us to defeat the demons we call Fear and Despair.  A sense of purpose can act as a compass by showing us the way when we are confronted with these challenges and providing us direction.  I refuse to settle for a life of mediocrity, or succumb to fear, or whatever enemy that happens to obstruct my path to success.  And for those of you who believe that perhaps it is too late, I invite you to draw from Napoleon Hills classic book, Think and Grow Rich: <br />
&#8220;Seldom does an individual enter upon highly creative effort in any field of endeavor before the age of forty.  The average man reaches the period of his greatest capacity to create between forty and sixty.  These statements are based upon analysis of thousands of men and women who have carefully been observed.  They should be encouraging to those who become frightened at the approach of old age, around the forty year mark.  The years between forty and fifty are, as a rule, the most fruitful.  Man should approach this age, not with fear and trembling, but with hope and eager anticipation.&#8221;   (Page 190)    </p>
<p>If you are between 40 and 60, I am sure you take great comfort in Hills remarks.  This represents a period of time when you can fully apply yourself.  It is a time when you can embark on the greatest journey of your life  the pursuit of a higher quality of life through the accumulation of wealth.  </p>
<p>The laws for success in the self storage industry have been outlined in the pages of this home study course.  It describes the merits of numerous financial concepts and principles that, when properly applied, will enable you to attain your goal of accumulating wealth.  In addition, it provides you with the precepts necessary to master the human psyche, that element of our being that gives us the strength to persevere and to conquer our fears, gives us the wisdom to accept responsibility for our actions, and gives us direction in our lives by providing us with a sense of purpose.  It is the combination of these laws of success serve as the catalyst you can apply to propel yourself to heights you may have never before believed possible.  And to quote Donald Trump in his book The Art of the Deal, if Im going to be thinking anyway, I might as well think Big!     I couldnt agree more.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="KonaBody">
<p>It is particularly easy to answer the question &#8216;how to make him want you.&#8217; Play hard to get but not quite and you will send him chasing after you in no time. Follow the steps below and anticipate a great time.</p>
<p>1 &#8211; The Mystery Effect</p>
<p>If you see him across the room, look at him and wait till he looks at you back. The moment that he does, you can smile teasingly then look somewhere else. He will wonder who you are and if you two have been introduced to each other.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Initiating Conversation</p>
<p>Develop a way of greeting everyone in the same room whether in the office or in school. Start saying &#8220;hey&#8221; to everyone but always reserve that special &#8220;hey&#8221; to him. If you two click, you will be having fun conversation together. How to make him want you? Don&#8217;t be afraid to do the moves.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; Maintain the Level of Conversation</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t go overboard when initiating contact. This will make you a little bit of an open book that is easy to read. He will likely lose interest if he discovers that you are predictable. Remember that your goal is to play hard to get so that he will come chasing after you.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; Give yourself space</p>
<p>If he knows when to hang out with his friends, you would want to have time for your self too, wouldn&#8217;t you? Men oftentimes admire women who can just go out on their own and won&#8217;t really depend on men too much about free times. You will be worthy of him if you know how to play your cards well.</p>
<p>Whatever you do even in your quest to answer the question &#8220;how to make him want you,&#8221; never attempt to do something silly and stupid in front of him. He will want you if he realizes that you are worth his attention. Don&#8217;t be too desperate just because you can&#8217;t contain your feelings anymore. Get a grip because you&#8217;re a girl worthy to be loved.</p>
<p>Be sure that you have what it takes to be the woman he could want. If you know the tricks as well as the ways on how to make him want you then you are already good to go. Be able to take a peek inside his world for you to discover how men acts around men that they want and what traits they want in their women.

<description><![CDATA[Are you looking for how to make money at home online? I definitely was. Are you? When we even look, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="KonaBody">
<p>Are you looking for how to make money at home online? I definitely was. Are you? When we even look, and try to acquire certain information we get whacked  with all these crazy promises and after that they need us to pay out our hard earned money to be taught some guru&#8217;s secret to internet marketing that will  make us rich over night!  Ever heard the motto, If it sounds to good to be true?   </p>
<p>I&#8217;m NOT saying that it cant be done, I am saying it&#8217;s not quite as trouble-free as some would like you to believe.  Everyone is saying &#8220;toss down your  money with me! I will reveal to you how in merely minutes to manufacture (insert enormous sum) of money at home online!&#8221;  Often there&#8217;s something at no cost they give  away with the hidden agenda that you will pay out money on something else they produce for you soon after!</p>
<p>I have personally worked from home online for more than a year at this point. There are lots of ways that it can take place. </p>
<p>You can contract real employment such as retail customer service or to take orders online, even for selected fast food companies! </p>
<p>Or you can work for yourself, and that&#8217;s the way I&#8217;d urge you go about this. If you can acquire one of those real jobs online it&#8217;s wonderful to  enjoy a regular pay coming in, but at what cost?  You can be confident that you don&#8217;t produce much profits when you take orders for a fast food  company!! And becoming an at home customer service rep can be tough too, requiring computers and software your pocket book definitely might not   allow you access to. Additionally, many of those sorts of companies maintain given states or areas they hire from. They tell you&#8230; you can work  from home, can you afford to do it for bare minimum wage? Sure no commute expenses help a bunch, but that much?  </p>
<p>Oh I&#8217;m sorry, here I go again, I&#8217;m ranting.  Lets get back to my position&#8230;</p>
<p>Your looking to make money at home online, how do you achieve that?  </p>
<p>The top way I know of is through Internet Marketing, what that is really, and how to accomplish it well, is a subject matter you might easily become lost in.  Unless your in advance of the majority and already know how and where to set up web sites, what SEO means&#8230;and not solely what it means, the whole  complete depth of how to in fact execute it.  <br />
Are you an associate marketer? How do you build what you need? And, exactly WHAT do you need? Do you hold other ideas to make money on  the web? Can you develop those ideas to in fact produce money?  How can you find out? </p>
<p>You can acquire snippets of information for at no cost, on generally any topic, but how does that puzzle all fit in concert to make you money, When you haven&#8217;t  much if anything you can afford to pay out? Just be prepared for your inbox to be flooded with offers of more information for merely a small fee! Some  are worth what they&#8217;re asking for, but HOW do you know the difference?</p>
<p>I suppose what I&#8217;m saying is that there has to be a better way, something that wont cost a ton of cash to get started, that doesn&#8217;t require a &#8216;guru&#8217;,  something straightforward to implement, something that if you are regular, and keep at a &#8220;rinse and repeat&#8221; type of formula it will succeed and bring some  desirable cash flow to your budget.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a parent of a preschool youngster, I need as much &#8216;flexibility&#8217; as I can dig up. I need to know what to do and how to do it, and after that I need to execute my  part and be regular at it.  </p>
<p>Consistency is the answer, true you need a respectable product weather that&#8217;s an affiliate piece, or something you&#8217;ve put all together yourself, a real piece that  others might be interested in, that&#8217;s tricky to decide on. People&#8217;s needs and interests are so varied how do you reach that decision?  </p>
<p>After a bunch of looking, I&#8217;ve in the end found how to make money at home online, it&#8217;s not my creation, but I believe in it.  I like it for the reason that it&#8217;s FREE to  start up, it is straightforward, it is fun. It gives you all of the advantages of associate marketing with a reduced amount of hassle. You don&#8217;t have to know everything already,  and given some regular effort on your part it can make you what I am, someone who works from home on your computer.    </p>

<description><![CDATA[The Twilight Saga: New Moon Starring: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Gree]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/">The Twilight Saga: New Moon</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Starring:</strong> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1500155/">Robert Pattinson</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0829576/">Kristen Stewart</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1210124/">Taylor Lautner</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2230865/">Ashley Greene</a>,<br />
<strong>Directed by </strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919363/">Chris Weitz</a></p>
<p><strong>Rated: PG-13<br />
Run Time: 130 mins<br />
Genre: Drama/ Romance/ Action<br />
3.5 frames out of 5</strong></p>
<p>Can you hear the sequels, shrieks, screams and crying of all the teenager girls now? Are you on <a href="http://www.movieiqtest.com/quiz/7IKJGnP/Are-You-On-Team-Edward-or-Team-Jacob?gclid=COelmMfsmJ4CFQ4hDQodSFSXmQ">Team Edward or Team Jacob</a>?  If you have no idea what I’m talking about, where have you been for the past 2 years?  The pop culture phenom is back with the second installment of <a href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/">Stephenie Meyer’s </a>Twilight series, New Moon.</p>
<p>In the second book, for those not familiar, Bella Swan (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0829576/">Kristen Stewart</a>) is a ordinary teenager that lives with her dad in Forks, Washington. She attends school with her friends and is in love with the hottest boy in school, Edward Cullen (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1500155/">Robert Pattinson</a>) who happens to be a vampire.  Did I mention that he’s about 109 years old but is frozen forever at 17?</p>
<p>Bella is going about a identity crisis as she realizes that this is an issue that she will continue to age and Edward will be forever young. She is in a bad mood all day and later that night at the Cullen’s house, she gets an oozing, bloody paper cut opening a present. This strikes hunger in the vampire clan and chaos ensues. Edward realizes that their presences in Bella’s life is constantly putting her in danger so he pushes her away and all the vampires leave town.</p>
<p>Bella spirals into a severe depression and seeks comfort in dangerous, adrenaline rushing activities with her best friend Jacob Black (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1210124/">Taylor Lautner</a>).  Jacob harbors an ancient secret from his tribe that when there are vampires around, it activates the werewolf gene.<br />
On one particular stunt that goes awry, brings Edward’s sister, Alice Cullen (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2230865/">Ashley Greene</a>) back into Bella’s life, Bella must choose her best friend or saving the life of the vampire she loves.</p>
<p>Director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919363/">Chris Weitz</a> (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0276751/">About a Boy</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385752/">The Golden Compass</a>) did a great job of taking Stephenie Meyer’s story and translating it to the screen. Not too much changed from the book but it does drag on a bit too long and Kristen Stewart shows more depth acting depressed, which makes me think this is a comfortable role for her. This film is definately targeted towards the female demographic so the trailers where they show the wolves fighting to pull in the male demographic, not so in the actual film. There is lots of lingering, angst filled moments that would bore a guy to death, so let the ladies have their time in the theater.</p>
<p><strong>Things to watch for:</strong>  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1210124/">Taylor Lautner</a> and the rest of the wolf clans abs… very impressive. Great CGI with the wolves and even the sparkly vampires are better.</p>
<p><strong>Who should see this movie:</strong>  Twilight Saga Fans, Fans of Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, teenage girls, tweens &#38; their moms a.k.a. Twimoms, fans of the books, vampire and werewolf lovers.</p>
<p><strong>See it in the Theater or Rent it on DVD:  </strong>The only thing that make it worth seeing on the big screen is the werewolves phasing and fighting.</p>
