Empower Network-100% Commissions Don't Really Exist!
Empower Network, Empower Network, Empower Network – it's all over the internet! What is it? Well, in a nutshell, it's a "plug & play" system that helps you start creating Google-ranked content on the first day. It's a beginner's dream and their answer to viral blogging. To the advanced internet marketer it's the key main ingredient to a blogging system that plugs in new reps. On top of that, it has all the benefits of a built in marketing system. They've already taken care of the technical set-up too which means no more struggling with themes or plugins. The best thing to this is you don't do the selling. David Wood and David Sharpe have taken care of all this with an awesome sales videos by Wood along side an unprecedented ad copy by Sharpe.
What is it, again?
Just to clarify, Empower Network is NOT a business opportunity or an MLM or even a network marketing business. It's straight up and affiliate product with 1-tier commissions. EN is a problem solver. For instance, a huge problem when getting started in the online marketing industry is technically it's difficult for most and because of this it takes months to get up & going. Empower Network has everything set up for you. Another problem people face is cash flow to market their business, outsource areas of the business, hire coaches, pay for tools, etc. Solution, you get 100% commission. Another area of difficulty is the "salesmen" aspect. People generally don't know how to close, upsell or retain customers. It's no problem for EN because it does all that for you by getting people to go through a funnel and a policy that states you are only paid on the products you own.
Product Options
There are 3 products and you can't own the bigger one without first owning the lesser one. Here are the options:
# 1 – Blog Platform. Every member gets a blog and the blog is set up for you and is designed to sell the products in this program. The only thing you're required to do is blog everyday (submit one post every day). The benefit to doing it daily is that it'll eventually rank as an authority site and when people come across your content they'll click on them. and then taken over to your affiliate link for the opt-in and sale. You'll pay $25 a month to keep it, anytime someone you refer wants to also have it, you will receive 100% of the commission, which is $25 per month.
# 2 – Inner Circle Access and Training. This is an add on to your already existing $25 pr month blog platform. This gives access to the latest and up to date training so you get the best out of your blogging platform. Once you post content, you can optimize it then drive huge amounts of traffic to it quickly and begin collecting those 100% commissions. Option 2 includes weekly webinars and advanced marketing training. Plus, when someone you refer wants it you'll get 100% of the commission ($100 per month). If you just own options 1 and 2, and not 3 then when someone buys it through your link you won't get paid instead the person above you who own option 3 (aka the Costa Rica Intensive) gets the 100% commission of $500. This monthly cost is $125 ($25 + $100).
# 3 – Costa Rica Intensive, the ultimate package. If you want to begin right away then this is the option for you. You'll get unlimited access to the private mastermind training by David Wood on how to make money online. Option 3 costs $625 but includes everything in option 1 and 2. You pay the $500 one-time and then have your $25 and $100 recurring each month.
First things First
Once a member you're first order of duty is to establish a merchant account through First Data Linkpoint. Normally there's a qualifying process but Wood and Sharp have special arrangements with First Data to provide you with extremely low processing fees ($25 monthly if approved based on their terms and conditions). If you've had a bankruptcy or foreclosure or write offs from past merchant accounts, you will still be approved. Approval process typically takes about a day. All instructions to setting up your payment processor to accept payments and link it to your bank account are in the back office of Empower Network.
If you've been trying to make it online, you've surely run into the problem of cash flow. This is one of the problems Empower Network addresses and there are 2 scenarios:
Money vs Time – the home business owner with no money but lots of time. They can and do sit for hours in front of their computer figuring out all the free stuff. But, ultimately they get frustrated because it takes way too long to see results and they end up quitting.
Money vs Skill – the person who has enough money for a solid marketing budget but lacks skills in all areas of communication, closing and leadership. These people often run out of money quickly or see the whole thing as a loss because there's been no income coming in to replace what they're putting out. And, they end up quitting.
Finally, Wood and Sharp came up with a solution to stop all the quitting. They actually want people to stay with it and continue to build their businesses. With Empower Network as part of your business model, you will have the cash you need to pay for technical assistance, outsource, marketing, seminars, etc. and still have money to pay your bills, take vacations, save for college, whatever you want. Empower Network gives back 100% commissions so you can move forward and get ahead in your business.

You can get the good, the better, or the best with a Canon 70D kit. How do you decide which option for a kit is the right one for you?
Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly about three options for a package deal for your 70D.
The camera comes with the 18-55mm kit lens, battery, and nothing else.
This is the most affordable way for you to get involved.
More photographers choose this option than any other.
You like to save money like the rest of us.
This is a great option if this is your first DSLR. You can experience a full range of shooting opportunities without taking out a second mortgage on your home.
For about an extra $50 you can the 70D and two lenses.
You get the standard 18-55 lens, battery AND the 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens.
This gives you a tremendous range of zoom for only a slightly larger investment.
The combined zoom range is 18-250, or about 14x.
With the two lenses, that's the equivalent of a 28-400 on a full frame camera.
With that much magnification and 7 frames per seconds, you can now shoot sports and wildlife and get some great shots.
Can you say overkill? This kit has 5 lenses.
The filters, the flash, the tripod, the memory card, and the camera case are all valuable accessories.
Do you really need so much overlap in terms of focal length? The 18-55 and 18-135 cover the same zoom. The 55-250 and the 75-300 are too similar as well.
You can compare for yourself and see which is the best option for your situation:Options and Consumer reviews of Canon 70D Kits on Amazon
Reading reviews from real people can give you feedback from other photographers who have already purchased and used a product.
This gives you the advantage of finding out a lot about a product before you even try it out for yourself.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Garnering the most attention from the sell-side on Thursday was EBay, which on Wednesday held its annual analyst day. The problem is, sometimes there really is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
EBay shares surged 17 percent Wednesday as word came out of the meeting that things were looking really good for the Internet auction site EBAY, -0.49%. But the stock came back to earth Thursday, falling back $5.38 to $71.19.
"The market was quick to react to this information," CS First Boston analyst Heath Terry told clients Thursday morning. "Given this, the immediacy we felt investors should have had towards buying EBay is now somewhat diminished."
So Terry cut his rating on the shares to "buy" from "strong buy" but raised his price target to $90 from $72, saying he still strongly believes there is upside to owning the shares.
"We are confident in EBay's ability to meet the goals it has set out and even believe that the company's revenue objective may be slightly underestimating the potential of the fixed trading business of Half.com and the opportunities available in international markets," Terry said.
At the meeting, EBay set a 2005 revenue goal of $3 billion, representing a 50 percent cash adjusted growth rate, and stood by its 30 to 35 percent operating margin target.
CSFB not alone
Merrill Lynch's Henry Blodget called the five-year operating plan impressive and noted that an initiative to open its technology platform to third-party programmers and entrepreneurs should strengthen the company's competitive position and increase "network effects."
Blodget told clients that although concern about slowing growth in listings will likely continue to cause near-term volatility for the stock, EBay still has one of the best business models he has ever seen and continues to regard the company as a good long-term investment."
Blodget rates the stock an "intermediate-term accumulate, long-term buy."
The parade continues
Chase H&Q, Banc of America and Robertson Stephens analysts were also among those singing the praises of EBay after the gathering.
"Analyst day provides fuel for appreciation," Lauren Cooks Levitan, the Robertson Stephens analyst, wrote in a research note. "We regard EBay as a true game changing model, with great profitability potential based on several characteristics which the company elaborated throughout their presentations."
Levitan called the stock "a member of the Internet elite" and her "best recommendation."
"We continue to view EBay as a 'safe haven' investment for investors in this volatile sector given their profitability (and prospect of increasing returns and positive earnings revision and surprise), dominant market share, and clear opportunities for continued robust business momentum," Levitan said.
Holding out
Still, Jeetil Patel, the Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown analyst, had some reservations.
"While we are highly encouraged by the company's vision and overall business strategy, we would like to gain better visibility into the 2001 revenue growth prospects before taking a more positive stance on these shares," he told investors.
Patel, who has a "market perform" rating on the stock, said that while overall business fundamentals are strong he continues to believe that 2001 revenue growth may be at or perhaps below the 50 percent compound average growth rate necessary to achieve the company's $3 billion target for 2005 and that revenue growth may in fact have to accelerate in 2004 and 2005 to attain that level.

The sharing revolution
There's a new phrase just hit the Oxford dictionary this year and it's 'sharing economy'.
Termed 'an economic system in which assets or services are shared between private individuals, either for free or for a fee, typically by means of the Internet', it's essentially a trend that matches those who need something with those that can provide it – and it's a boom business, a sharing revolution.
Sharing success
With the marketplace expected to reach £230billion a year in a decade, it's no great surprise this phenomena now warrants its name in lights. And this week marked the start of Global Sharing Week, inspired off the success of Global Sharing Day, a campaign that helped 100 million people globally discover the sharing economy.
The sharing economy presents a radical departure from traditional business models. It's an exciting social movement whose aim is to make the sharing economy mainstream, where the need to own is transformed. Everyone is a supplier of goods, services and experiences. Where people share skills, time, resources, knowledge, responsibility, opportunities, ideas, goods, services and stuff.
The sharing revolution will be digitised
Many of us will now have heard of sites such as Airbnb, Wimdu and Roomarama as they've quickly become mainstream for travellers – offering a popular alternative to hotels through allowing people to offer their spare rooms or property up for rent via the gift of the internet. And apps such as Uber and Hailo have revolutionised the way we use taxis too. But it doesn't stop at travel, the world has become a sharers oyster.
Your time is money
Growing numbers of us are now willing to offer up our services from the mundane to the highly specialised on the trust that another will give us a service we require in exchange. Suddenly your time has become your currency, cutting out the need for any costly middleman, and the internet your route to market.
Waste not want not
Social and business landscapes are changing and a sharing utopia seems to be drifting ever closer as a result.
The sharing economy would appear to be about creating a new lifestyle, a new way to live. It's a move away from hyper-consumption. And there's now a big culture shift especially with the Millennial generation (25 – 34 year olds) – or 'Generation Share' as they've been described, who'd choose to access rather than own. To them the idea that you'd pay for a car to sit unused for 23 hours a day is absurd. Why pay for what you don't need?
Find out more
With millions of people across the world discovering the value of sharing in their lives it's no surprise that organisations like 'The People Who Share' have sprung up to help facilitate this desire.
They are committed to reshaping the world through sharing, harnessing the power of reciprocity to create happier, healthier and more sustainable lifestyles – and the Global Sharing Week initiative is a direct result of this.
If you'd like to find out more about the sharing economy and Global Sharing Week then it's worth checking out 'The People Who Share' website where you'll also find the Global Sharing Directory with over 7,500 sharing sites from around the world.

How do you measure a training session/workout? By the hours you put in? The distances, reps, or weights you rack up? Useful guides for sure, but how much does this really tell you about how your body reacts to the training? How do you know what the best, most efficient program/routine is for you and your goals? WILL POWER gives you the perfect program, professional guidance, and physiological data to optimize performance, reduce injuries, and fast-track fitness development. Through our state of the art heart rate monitor software, we collect data from your heart rate and heart rate variability to unlock the power of individualized training guidance.
We start by identifying your overall fitness goals: weight loss, conditioning, muscle building, strength building, or even sport specific development. Then we identify each individuals' base fitness level through fitness testing and basic intro training. From there, we guide members through a self-paced fitness ranking system focusing on proper form, proper technique, core stabilization muscle development, symmetrical strength & conditioning, and flexibility.
Participants are connected to the same advanced heart rate monitoring system used by pro-sports teams world wide to train their top athletes. The software calculates the training effect (TE), calories burned, heart rate/ heart rate zones, as well as physical exertion levels. This is done for each member in real time and displayed on a screen during the workout – this motivates everyone to do their best during the workout. To further motivate you and ensure you are getting results, each participant receives an email after each class showing your average Training Effect (TE), average heart rate, and how many calories you burned. our website will also have your stats so you are able to see your averages & individual class workouts. Monthly measurements and photos are optional and free to members.
Our software's algorithms accurately tracks several essential physiological functions by analyzing your heart rate/variability data in real time. Heart rate alone tells only the intensity of the exercise. Training Effect (TE) tells you how the workout improves your aerobic (endurance) fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the workout, starting from level 1.0. As the workout progresses successfully, the Training Effect value increases, telling you how the workout improves your fitness. Training Effect has five levels (1-5):
Easy Recovery
Maintaining Fitness
Improving Fitness
Highly Improving
Our experienced and highly skilled instructors guide each participant through their workouts and the fitness ranking system both safely and effectively. You will never do the same workout in a month span so your muscles can never get used to the routine and plateauing in your development will be difficult to take hold. The program consists of 8 levels and includes all training aspect from rowers, fat burning, strength training, cardiovascular training, isometric training, High intensity Interval training as well as plyometric training. Each member will develop through the class ranking system at their own pace. This keeps the workouts challenging and fun, but above all… GETS YOU THE RESULTS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
This is exactly what I was looking for! You get the price of a group workout with the individual customization to make sure you're always being challenged.

The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra performs the music of Star Wars/
From the Imperial March to the Throne Room End Title, the Mississauga Symphony
Orchestra will take to the stage in Hammerson Hall on Saturday, March 24 to perform the beloved music of Star Wars.
Regular ticket prices start at $55. Special pricing is available for seniors and patrons under
The force is strong within Maestro Denis Mastromonaco and the ninety person Mississauga Symphony Orchestra. This was apparent in 2016 when the MSO first performed the music of the iconic space opera to a sold out theatre. A keen eye would have spotted members of the orchestra dressed as Storm Troopers, Padawan and galactic princesses, as well as the Maestro making an appearance as a Jedi before shedding his robes and light sabre in the second half of the concert to reveal his inner bootlegging space scoundrel. No Jedi mind tricks were needed to draw another large audience this year.
Tickets for the concert are selling extremely quickly. Fans of the film series are advised to purchase tickets in advance to avoid disappointment at the box office on concert night.
No tribute to Star Wars would be complete without the characters that have captured imaginations for decades. Cosplay enthusiasts are encouraged to arrive dressed as their favourite character from the Star Wars galaxy for a chance to win a rare photo opportunity on stage, in costume, with the MSO, as well as a number of Star Wars themed prizes.
Tickets can be purchased by calling the Living Arts Centre box office at: 905-306-6000, or by visiting: mississaugasymphony.ca. Complimentary underground parking is included with every ticket purchase.
The concert will begin at 8pm.

DV Mark Tube Guitar Amplifier Heads
For an example of DV Mark's design language at work, just check out the 2012 Triple 6 Tube Guitar Amp Head. Delivering an immense 120W of power, this behemoth still manages to be portable enough for gigging. It's also loaded with controls, giving you a three-band EQ and separate gain and presence settings for each channel. Those adjustments make it easy to tweak the 2012 Triple 6 to play nicely with any effects units you care you use with it.
Of course, the 2012 Triple 6 is also designed for the metal-est of metalheads. If you're searching for something a little bit better-behaved for classic rock, or virtually any style for that matter, then one of DV Mark's other heads may be the way to go. There's the Maragold Greg Howe Signature 40W All Tube Guitar Head, for instance, which offers two channels: one for clean, pure tone and another for mild to heavy distortion. You can also take a look at the Little 40 II 40W All-Tube Guitar Head or the DV 403 CPC 3-Channel Tube Guitar Amp Head, which features MIDI support for added versatility.
No matter which model turns out to be the right choice for you, you're always making a great decision when you go with DV Mark tube guitar amplifier heads. These just might be the best pieces of engineering to come out of Italy since the supercars they're so easily compared to... and, of course, DV Mark's accompanying line of speaker cabinets, which are definitely worth considering to give your new DV Mark amp head the voice that it deserves.

Grandfan's Trifle
"A rich trifle is made with pound cake, sherry and custard layered in a bowl and topped with a lightly sweetened whipped cream. This trifle is the special recipe from my grandmother and has been perfected over the years by other family members as well. It is a must have dessert during the holiday season. Make a huge batch, serve and if you don't eat it all, stick it in the fridge and it tastes even better the second day!"

Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Pour the milk into a microwave proof pitcher, and cook in the microwave on high until the milk begins to simmer, 4 to 5 minutes depending on the microwave. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs together with 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Once the milk is hot, slowly drizzle into the eggs while whisking until all of the milk has been incorporated. Scrape the custard into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate several hours until cold.
- Whip the cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to firm peaks; set aside. Line the bottom and sides of a trifle bowl with half of the pound cake slices. Drizzle the pound cake slices with half of the sherry. Pour 1/3 of the cold custard into the trifle dish and smooth the top. Repeat to make two more layers of pound cake, sherry, and custard. Top with whipped cream.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

text: Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, The Time Traveler's Wife, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

KERRVILLE, Texas - Devin Roland poured in a career-high 29 points but the 'Roos weren't quite able to keep pace with Schreiner, falling 66-56 to the Mountaineers on Saturday night. The 'Roos are now 7-14 overall and 3-9 in SCAC play.
Roland got out to a hot start, scoring 17 points in the first 12 minutes to help Austin College take an early lead. With 11:38 left before halftime, the 'Roos led 19-9 but an 11-0 run for Schreiner put the Mountaineers ahead 20-19. Austin College went back on top 23-20 before Schreiner had another big run, this time wit 10 unanswered points to make it 30-23, and the Mountaineers would head into halftime leading 33-30.
Austin College squared things up at 40-40 just under five minutes into the second half, but an 8-0 run for Schreiner put the Mountaineers ahead for good. Austin College was able to pull to within two points at 58-56 on a basket by Kam Hogan with just under three minutes to play, but those would be the last points of the game for the 'Roos.
Roland made 11-of-14 shots, including all four of his three point attempts, and also grabbed 10 rebounds. Michael Holland was the only other 'Roo to reach double figures, scoring 10 points and adding six boards and four assists. Matthew Rindahl paced Schreiner with 22 points and 12 boards, and the Mountaineers knocked down nine threes in the game while Austin College was 5-of-19 from deep.
Austin College returns home next weekend, hosting Johnson & Wales and Colorado College on Friday and Saturday.

If you are heading to Cambridge with children there's a fantastic range of activities and things to do to look forward to.
Here at the Tamburlaine Hotel, Cambridge we appreciate that visiting anywhere new with children can be a worry, simply because you might struggle to choose kid-friendly attractions that remain within budget. For families with children of different ages, there's also the added headache of finding something that younger and older kids will enjoy.
Luckily for you, there is no shortage of child-friendly activities in Cambridge and there are lots of fun things to do right in the heart of the city. If you've already done your research looking for places to stay in Cambridge, you'll know that the Tamburlaine is wonderfully central and conveniently located for families of all sizes. Whether you have young children who like to keep active or those that are a bit older and prefer activities full of fun facts, it won't take long before you have a packed day to look forward to.
Here are three of the top things to do in Cambridge for kids, none of which should be left out of your trip's itinerary.
The Whipple Museum of the History of Science
The Whipple Museum is one of Cambridge's most popular museums and it's a firm favourite among families and those with children. Suitable for ages four and up, The Whipple Museum allows children to experiment, explore and evolve. There's a great range of things to see and do, including a range of scientific equipments and hands-on activities. The museum is attached to the main university and is a short distance from The Tamburlaine Hotel Cambridge.
The Cambridge Mystery Treasure Trail
There are lots of excellent places to stay in Cambridge, but the chances are you'll want to get out and see the local area so being centrally located is a must. Mystery treasure trails can be found throughout the UK but Cambridge is lucky enough to have its very own. The Cambridge Mystery Treasure Trail is a great way for kids to explore and as it is self-guided, it's ideal for large groups as well as families. The trail is around two miles long and there are clues to answer, signs to find and directions to navigate along the way. Budget a couple of hours to complete the trail, more if you plan to stop for a drink or a picnic on the way.
Jesus Green Outdoor Pool
You don't need to head abroad to have a great outdoor swimming experience. Jesus Green Pool is one of Cambridge's largest pools and one of the longest pools in the country, meaning there's lots of room for kids to play. It's a great activity during the summer months and is the perfect place to enjoy a beautiful British summer's day.
Cambridge is a great location for short family holidays and weekends away with young ones. With so much to do and such a variety of activities, you'll never find yourself bored. Check out our other blog posts for lots more ideas to keep you busy during your stay with us.

I'm the only child of a singer-songwriter-actress, and a playboy, born in Detroit, raised in Naples, and at home in Los Angeles.
As a child, my favorite "toys" were a stack of paper, scores of crayons, and liquid paper for painting. I grew up watching Mom on television, and staying up late with her, watching movies. We watched all kinds of movies, and if there was a casualty on screen, she would say to me, "Don't worry about that dead guy, he's perfectly fine and at home with his family in Burbank." I didn't even know where Burbank was, but I knew it was part of a mythical place where she worked, and about which I was endlessly fascinated.
In college, I wanted to study everything, and if I hadn't been required to declare a major and graduate (or be asked to leave), I'd probably still be there taking classes in Norse Mythology, Yoruba, and anything else I was curious about.
I had a moment in front of the camera, in Tony Richardson's Blue Sky, where I danced with Jessica Lange, and she told me dirty jokes between takes. When I got to L.A., I discovered that there are lots of ways to be in the entertainment industry without being an actor.
I'm still that little kid with paper and crayons and pens, and my passion for Hollywood has been constant. Some of the ways in which it has manifested in my life are here on these pages.
Thank you for sharing your time with me.
