4 Critical Steps For Creating A Profitable Online Business
If you had asked me about making money online four years ago, I would have called you a liar. I was a blue-collar worker who never touched computers.
I woke up every day at midnight to deliver bread to grocery stores. I hated my job; I hated my life, but I didn't know how to escape.
In 2011, I started listening to podcasts. I found Pat Flynn and got excited about the idea of creating a location-independent online business. I studied any information I could get my hands on. What I found got me far, but I decided that investing in a course from a well-known marketer would help me reach the next level.
I was sadly disappointed. The course was $697, which was a HUGE investment for me at the time. We were living paycheck-to-paycheck. There were a few good tidbits, but overall the course was designed to up sell students on the marketers "elite" program.
That experience taught me a valuable lesson and forced me to learn these four steps to creating a profitable online business. Use these strategies to create freedom in your "work" and give you the flexibility to spend your time on the things that are important to you.
Here are the 4 steps to creating a profitable online business:
1. Build a sizable and engaged following
You are probably familiar with the theory of 1,000 true fans. The reality is that you don't need a thousand fans to start making serious money. If your fans are engaged, they will spend money with you and tell others about your business. So, how do you build a following? There are a few ways:
- Social media. This is my least favorite way because the organic reach of social media is pretty small these days. More times than not, you will have to pay to reach your audience. Even though the engagement is low, there's still an opportunity to reach the billions of users on social media.
- Get interviewed on Podcasts. Podcasting is huge and only getting bigger. These days, people listen to podcasts more than traditional radio. You can sign up for a service like Radio Guest List and have shows emailed to you every morning that are looking for a guest like you. Get interviewed on as many shows as possible, and some of those listeners will come back to your website. In 2012, I was interviewed on 80 podcasts and brought 100,000 visitors back to my website from the shows.
- Write for large authority sites. You can write for some of the biggest websites in the world. Websites, such as the Huffington Post and Entrepreneur Magazine —among others—are always looking for good content. Since these websites publish so much content, they're always looking. You can get a free guide that walks you through how to get into these sites on my website.
These are a few ways to build a following fast. Just using these strategies, I've been able to build my email list from 3,000 people to over 24,000 in one year.
"Social media will help you build up loyalty of your current customers to the point that they will willingly, and for free, tell others about you." – Bonnie Sainsbury
2. Stop chasing influencers
When you're building an online business, the common advice is to connect with an influencer in hopes of them giving your business a shout out. This is bad advice because so many other people are trying to do the same thing. Influencers such as Pat Flynn get hundreds of emails every day from people looking to "connect." The time you spend chasing could be spent building your business using the strategies I mentioned above. Once you build your business without chasing, you can connect with an influencer as a colleague.
3. Focus on what will help your business
A lot of times, the frustration in building a business comes from information overload. We see someone talk about making six-figures using Instagram, and we're focused on Instagram marketing for the next month with no results. Just because something worked for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you. You have to focus on what will help you where you are in your building journey.
4. Don't be afraid to sell
You may have the sincere desire to help people, but that doesn't mean you can't charge a fair price for your products/services. The goal is to create freedom and that comes from your business making money. Don't be afraid to sell. If someone opts out of your email list because you made an offer, so be it. As long as you're not spamming your list, you only want those who are interested—not the tire kickers.
"If it doesn't sell, it isn't creative." – David Ogilvy
It took two years, but I was able to quit a job I hated. I now write, speak, coach, and consult from my home in Maui, Hawaii. The business grew so much it funded our move from Wisconsin to Hawaii. The business is online so I could operate it from anywhere in the world. That is what freedom means to me.
You can build a profitable online business. Don't believe the hype and don't follow commonly accepted advice. Test what works and believe in yourself.
Don't let self-limiting beliefs keep you from the kind of life you want to live.
how do I become a writer for these blogs?
Great Post ,
Another way you can generate traffic is to comment on blog posts. If what you write is interesting and informative adding additional information on the subject of the post you may have some people interested in what you have to say. link back to your website so when they click on your name it directs them to your site. If you have great content you may be able to convert the curious into regular visitors.
Hi Kimanzi these are some great tips! I never thought about being a guest on someone's podcast. Then again, just as written content (such as a blog post) stays in place once published, audio content would be long lasting as well. I would also agree that you need to focus on what will help your business (instead of taking advice from some random stranger online or elsewhere).
There can be so much info on the Internet (especially with all the opt in freebie content out there), and I know I've had my bouts of information overload. However, I've learned to see the forest from the trees and to maintain focus.
Thanks again Kimanzi for great content!
Hi Kimanzi,
Great post – and I love your story. It's so inspiring!
I read point #3 and thought 'oh yeah, I know that one'. Complete and total information overload – to the point where it's difficult to focus and concentrate on anything. I have been there and done that – and probably still do it if I'm honest.
I hadn't thought about podcast interviews – although I'm wary of going down that route due to point 3 (I really need to stick to a couple of things and try to build from them). Speaking of which, I've had advice that, in order to know if something really works or not, you need to try it – and really work at it – for around 3 or 4 months. Has that been your experience or would you say longer (or less time) is needed before you see results from a particular area that you're focused on?
Thanks for the post – I will be sharing…
Great advice, Kimanzi!
#1 and #2 go hand in hand…Concentrate on you and your audience, not on influencers!
Thanks for another great one!
Bam Mary!
Lawrence, you have the right view of this. Yup, it's hard, but it IS possible with the right strategies. Podcasting will be good for you 🙂
This a great article to help beginning online entrepreneurs succeed. I agree with you on the social media thing. Unless you have hundreds of thousands or millions of social media followers, it can be tough to reach people in this manner. I never really though about being featured on podcasts, but that sounds like a good idea. Something I will definitely have to look into.
Online success is hard and takes a lot of work and patience, but I think anyone who is determined enough can do it.

Ellen gives $10K to NH waitress for soldiers' tab
CONCORD, N.H. — A New Hampshire waitress who picked up the lunch tab of two National Guard soldiers affected by the federal government's shutdown has been repaid — more than 300 times over — by television star Ellen DeGeneres.
Sarah Hoidahl, a waitress in Concord, N.H., just wanted to do a nice thing for the soldiers, so she recently picked up their lunch tab. It cost her $27.75.
On Friday, DeGeneres squared the tab and then some, giving Hoidahl $27.75 in cash and a check for $10,000.

Cheap Trick Stage Collapse
July 18, 2011 by staff
Cheap Trick Stage Collapse, Ottawa Bluesfest organizers are expected to face questions on Monday after the main stage collapsed 20 minutes in a performance of Cheap Trick Sunday night when a sudden storm struck the area.
Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan is set to hold a press conference 11 am ET to discuss the collapse of the stage that sent three people to hospital and thousands fleeing for cover.
Ottawa said paramedics responded to multiple injuries after the stage collapsed around 7:20 pm, including a 49-year-old suffered injuries to the abdomen, pelvis and thigh.
Another man had possible spinal injuries.
Stuart Mills said CBC reporter shot black clouds in the area and the band left the stage just before the structure collapsed.
"A gust of wind took a giant canvas and trash around the field and threw to the audience and stood around the stage – where he had been playing Cheap Trick – and almost like a convertible in a car, just bent it back in the same direction, "Mills said.
Michael Robert, who was near the stage when it collapsed, said, "Everything just came down in seconds."
Leanne Wilson concertgoer said the stadium gradually sunk back and pitched in.
"In less than 10 seconds had gone," he said. "[Cheap Trick] were to play until he fell. And immediately everybody was running and screaming."
"I was surprised I had never seen anything like this before at a concert."
Cheap Trick posted a message on Facebook saying that no one was injured in the band, along with a picture of some of the destruction.
"Everyone is well and we are very lucky to be alive and we hope that all fans are good, too," the authors wrote.
The organizers of the annual event called the show when lightning started flashing, scrapping festival's final act, Death Cab for Cutie.

Providing technical assistance to governors to enable them to maintain or increase current levels of health insurance coverage
The Foundation's State Coverage Initiatives was designed to help states plan and develop insurance market reforms, Medicaid reforms, and other significant health care financing and delivery changes.States play significant roles in health coverage ranging from providing coverage to low-income populations to regulating the health insurance market. Given rising health care costs and growing numbers of the uninsured, executing these roles effectively continues to be a challenge, especially in what are often understaffed state agencies. This grant supports the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA) to provide information and assistance to governors to enable them to maintain or increase current levels of health insurance coverage in both the public and private sectors. In providing this assistance, the NGA will act as a dissemination vehicle for State Coverage Initiatives projects and connect states to the consultation services available through the program. The project will be considered successful if at least five states receive program information or services through the assistance of the NGA. The project deliverables include monthly highlighting of coverage issues in the NGA policy newsletter, production of at least one issue brief yearly, and hosting three state-based technical assistance visits or workshops on coverage per year.

YOU have to understand Hazel Flagg's point of view in NOTHING SACRED (1937). Hazel (Carole Lombard) really thought she had radium poisoning. But now that her doctor has told her it was a misdiagnosis, she may still die -- of boredom -- in her sleepy little Vermont town. So when a handsome newspaper reporter (Fredric March) wants to fly her to New York, write about her and treat her like a queen, can you really blame her for not revealing that she isn't terminally ill after all? Ben Hecht wrote the screenplay and William Wellman directed. Nobody falls down and lands in a potted plant like Lombard -- Sunday at 2 p.m. on Oxygen.
The Jian family live in a high-rise apartment in Taipei, overlooking a busy highway. Their story, Edward Yang's touching YI YI (2000), begins with a wedding with a very pregnant bride and an old girlfriend who storms in and makes a scene. But the story soon turns quieter and conveys a profound urban loneliness as the Jians deal with the father's business troubles, his high school sweetheart, the grandmother's coma, the mother's descent into depression and a variety of other troubles. In the middle of it all, little Yang-Yang (Jonathan Chang) wanders around with is camera and asks deep questions like ''Daddy, can we only see half of the truth?'' Mr. Yang was named best director at the Cannes International Film Festival last year -- Monday at 11:40 p.m. on Starz.
Tom DiCillo made LIVING IN OBLIVION (1995) a full three years after directing Brad Pitt in ''Johnny Suede.'' So there's probably no connection between Mr. Pitt and the arrogantly self-absorbed blond actor Chad Palomino (James LeGros), who makes everyone's life miserable during the shooting of a very-low-budget film. Steve Buscemi is the director, frustrated to the breaking point. Catherine Keener is the leading lady. Both are having anxiety dreams, and everything that can go wrong does -- Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on IFC.
John Ford won the best director Oscar for THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1940), based on John Steinbeck's novel about a Depression-era Dust Bowl family traveling to California to start a new life. The Joads pack up everything they own and set out on Route 66, encounter actual kindness at a diner (where they're sold a 15-cent loaf of bread for 10 cents and a dime's worth of candy for a penny) but find mostly hostility and corruption in the promised land. Henry Fonda, in one of his most memorable roles, stars as Tom Joad. Jane Darwell, who took home the best supporting actress Oscar, plays Ma Joad and makes the film's uplifting final speech -- Tuesday at 8 p.m. and Tuesday/Early Wednesday at 2:45 a.m. on AMC.
When Dustin Hoffman starred in TOOTSIE (1982) as an actor who can't find work -- until he dresses as a woman and becomes a daytime soap star -- every Tom, Dick and Harry did not do drag in film. Mr. Hoffman is far more lovable as Dorothy Michaels, his invented alter ego, than as Michael Dorsey, and Michael soon realizes what that says about him and male consciousness in general. Directed by Sydney Pollack, this is a comedy with a gently told message and a strog cast -- Jessica Lange in an Oscar-winning role as Dorothy's co-star and would-be love interest; Teri Garr as Michael's confused girlfriend; and Dabney Coleman as a sleazy director who will come on to anything in skirts -- Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on A&E.

- Sentry Drones are a type of Decepticlone from the Transformers (PS2) video game.
Sentry Drones have very little combat ability, but they're not really meant for combat. They are deployed into the field, typically in mazelike areas with low visibility, to watch out for invading Autobots. Once they spot an intruder, they launch a flare high into the sky, signalling nearby Decepticlone units to come in and take care of the problem, usually in the form of a Dropship. Once this has been done, they will fly off in order to alert any nearby Decepticlone patrols. As such, Sentry Drones are best taken out from afar, or with a surprise attack at close-range; firing on a Sentry Drone and missing will still cause it to launch its signal flare. Sentry Drones remain static, though only for a few seconds, as they prepare to fire their flare; they can still be taken out during this time.
Sentry Drones tend to run once they've released their signal flare. If cornered, they have a light laser blaster to keep their pursuers occupied. They cannot fly at high altitudes, so their escape options are fairly limited.

Ratings for Dr. Frank E. Trogolo
Dr. Trogolo is an excellent doctor. I've been to one other Ob Gyn who I was very dissatisfied with. Dr. Trogolo is very informed and knows how to make patients feel comfortable and he patiently answers any and all questions. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr.Trogolo is the best obgy's I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is attentive, honest and his bed side manners are superb..I veen a patient since I was sixteen moved three times out of jacksonville and never have receive such professionalism. You NEVER feel rushed and out of all the hundreds of patients you can see him around the city and be greeted by your first name.WOW!!!!! I love the location and view and he is bilingual. He is caring and delivered BOTH my children and I was high risk. The office staff is ok.. for the most part.except there medical biller and office manager.. those two are a trip. Make sure u call ur own insurance though because they WILL try and get over on you..which has nothing to do with the physician!!! Lastly there fast your in and out And for the that negative comment im not sure about u but a finger shouldnt hurt if you managed to get pregnant..just some advice!! And a spectrum is never a good feeling it isnt meant to be.:)
This office was one of the only offices willing to take me on after I decided to transfer Doctors during my high-risk pregnancy, I found out about them through a friend. They got me the soonest available appointment and ever since I've been treated with some of the best care I've ever had in an office. The front of house staff is courteous and very attentive. The nurse practitioners and finical coordinators were polite and very informed. Most of all Dr. Trogolo doesn't judge. He was attentive and understanding to my situation, and although I had to have another pap smear he was empathetic and made it as smooth as one could possibly go at 32 weeks. I can get the same appointment, each week, be in by 9:00 and out by 9:30 if no extra procedures. I'd recommend this office to anyone looking for a high quality OB/GYN.
Dr. Trogolo is an excellent Dr.; very, very caring and kind he takes whatever time you need with him and gives you his undivided attention. If he does not know the answer he will find it for you. He is very humble and down to earth. He delivered my first child and I am thrilled to have him as my physician for my second. The office is wonderful as well!
I am a current patient of this office and have found that it exceeds my expectations. Dr. Trogolo has always been exceptionally helpful, answering all of my questions with courtesy and and consideration to my personal needs. I've always found I am seen quickly with regards to my busy schedule with children. The staff is exceptional; the lab is located within the office (no traveling to a satellite location for blood work:) and as a plus, the office offers affordable weight loss and aesthetic services. I love this convenience!!!! If you're not into a gorgeous spa-like experience when you go to your ob/gun, don't go here! It's the BEST Jacksonville has to offer. I will continue my undying support of Dr. Trogolo and Dr.Garcia. This is an office within the hospital....your doc is in house while you're in labor!!!! Great!!!!!!
Dr. Trogolo is a great doctor. I have been going to him for 2 yrs and he delivered my first child. The staff there was great also always got me checked in on time and back to see the doctor. Would recommend him to anyone.
Rude staff- after a visit to the emergency room for exceesive bleeding from a 9 day period the nurse asked me if it was really so bad that I had to come in. Dr. Trogolo preformed a vaginal exam and hurt me with his forceful use of the spectume- He state "I can't examine without it hurting" which was not true as the emergency room doctor the day before examed me with no pain. After removing the spectumel he jammed his hand in my vigina hurting me again to the point of me yelling. He uttered the same response. He had limited information about procedures to help me with my fibroids. When I left I was lead through a small office were I was greeted by a woman on the way out selling costemic treatments- botox, make-up,etc.

Chapter 4: Warriors
The sight that greeted Team Avatar was that of an island with several massive platforms jutting out from it. Kyoshi Island faced them now in all of its glory. Over the past week, they had taken to land after finding Rioku and moved to the edge of the Earth Kingdom. From there it only took a couple of hours on another boat to reach the island.
Kuan Ti narrowed his eyes. "Why are we stopping here? We need to get to the Fire Nation before the Air Nation does."
Rioku raised an eyebrow. "What's with you? You're acting like Shen."
"Now wait—!" The Airbender began.
"We already let one spirit through the cracks, Rioku." The Equalist continued. "And we can't in good conscience go after him while the Fire Nation is in trouble. I'm sure Argho's brought you up to speed by now on the details."
The Earthbender nodded. "He did, but I'm still not particularly ecstatic about having to go to the Fire Nation in the first place; we could use a breather here."
"While I'm usually one for times of reflection, time is a luxury we don't have." Shen gripped his sword as the cold spray of the sea hit him in the face.
Rioku leaned against the railing. "Then ask Argho when he's done meditating; he might allow us to bypass Kyoshi Island entirely."
"I will do no such thing." The Avatar stood in the doorway that led below deck. "I felt a disturbance...something is not right with the world. I need to find out what I felt, but to do that, I need to pay a visit to someone on Kyoshi Island."
Shen cocked his head. "Who?"
"The Ancient Master."
Moro stared out of the window as the train barreled toward Republic City, carrying the Spirit of Tempests and his upper echelon. Her father—although she hated using that word—was in the next car over, and Kyrie sat down beside her.
"It has been so long since we've talked, Moro..." His voice cracked with emotion. "I was afraid that I would never be able to see you again..."
She pursed her lips. "Kyrie...why has it taken you this long to talk to me? We...we haven't spoken in months!"
The sun shone through the window and glinted off of his light blue armor. "I know...I didn't...didn't want you to see me like this. I never wanted you to get involved in this; I tried to convince Kenshin to let you go! But he wouldn't listen!" His tone grew louder and louder. "You should've run from Susanowo!"
"I couldn't." The Bloodbender gripped the window sill.
"Why? You've proven that he can't control you like he can do to the rest of us!"
She faced him. "I joined him to save you, Kyrie!"
He stood and turned away. "How foolish of you, sister..."
"Oh, so it's foolish to try and save you!? Kyrie, we could leave...Argho can help us..."
"Where was that attitude when you stabbed your friend?" His eyes widened. "Susanowo told me you killed him!"
Moro furrowed her brow. "What is wrong with you? I was...confused!"
"All you've proven is that you are just as susceptible to his control as any of us!" His fist splintered the wooden window sill. "I tried, Moro...same as you...and I failed!"
"Argho can help us. I know it. We can't let Susanowo tear us apart again, and I can't let him take Republic City!"
"Kenshin," the voice of the Spirit of Tempests moved through the train cart. "Why is it your brood has caused me so much ill will?"
Shen and Petrine walked along the edge of the Southern Air Temple, anxiously awaiting the beginning of the first meeting of representatives from all four temples in fifty years. Shen was also excited because of his upcoming birthday. He would soon be eighteen, old enough to begin to think about his future.
Being an Airbending master—all thirty-six tiers were under his belt—allowed him to choose, if he so desired, the position of an instructor.
He sighed. "It's so close, Petrine..."
She had also mastered all of the tiers, and routinely worked with her father, who was a member of the Southern Council.
"Do what makes you happy, Shen. If you want to teach, then teach."
He smiled. "Thanks for that, but what I think I really want to do is work with my mother, maybe even take her place as Republic City Council member when the time comes."
The twenty-two year old shrugged. "My advice is still the same."
The young man jumped up onto the railing and continued walking. "You know...you didn't have to antagonize Hoska again..."
"Do you know why I do that, Shen?"
He smiled warmly. "No, Petrine...why do you torture our former instructor?"
"Because," She turned to face Shen. "He refuses to admit that we did anything wrong before the Hundred Year War. He refuses to see that we should've opened ourselves to our emotions..."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. We should just—"
"Shen...stop. I've heard everything you're about to say before, and none of it makes me feel any better. Our nation was almost wiped out by Sozin and his precious Fire Nation, yet when Avatar Aang had the chance to mete out justice, he refused."
"Justice...Petrine, I think—"
"Children!" Gyatso barreled towards them with an air wheel, and Shen rolled his eyes.
"Dad, we aren't kids anymore."
His father shook his head and chuckled. "We'll discuss that later; you both need to come with me!"
Petrine cocked her head. "What's going on, Master Gyatso?"
"Just follow me."
The four members of Team Avatar stepped onto the dock, greeted by the hustle and bustle of the port city of Oyaji. Once an isolated village, it gained in both size and popularity after the conclusion of the War of Kings; now it hosted merchants as well as tourists. It was also famous for its swordsmanship dojo, The Meteorite Dojo.
Rioku took a deep breath. "It's been too long, Argho. How long ago did you and I come here?"
The Avatar glanced around. "I'd say six or seven years by now."
Kuan Ti threw his cloak over his shoulders. "Well, I for one am eager to get this over with, so let's find this 'Ancient Master'."
"We'll be a few days, my friend." Argho began moving toward the customs booth. "So you'd better find us some lodging."
The Equalist sighed. "Fine...Shen, Rioku, let's go..."
They made their way toward the edge of the port authority section; the Earthbender began absentmindedly cracking his knuckles.
"I think there are some hotels to the left as soon as we get out of here."
Kuan Ti nodded. "The sooner we get this done, the better."
"Why are you so eager to get to the Fire Nation?" Shen asked. "I mean, not that I don't agree with you..."
"You want to know? The sooner we deal with all of this, the sooner we can get back to ending Susanowo. I told you once that I held a grudge against the creator of Bloodbending, but as to why...well, he—"
"—used it to control Amon, as he would any of his other subjects. Is that it?" Rioku frowned.
"Yes...the Equalists under Amon's leadership set relations between benders and non-benders back decades." His voice grew. "I mean, it's been over a century since Korra defeated him, and they still hate and distrust us!"
"Finally..." Shen smirked. "All of our secrets are out in the open, at least in part."
Kuan Ti gritted his teeth. "Yeah? Well, let's just find a place to stay. Maybe we'll continue this later."
"Lord Susanowo," the Ice Man gave a slight bow. "How would you like me to...discipline...my daughter?"
The spirit sighed. "I am tired, Kenshin...have Kyrie do it. I will have one of the Chosen, at the very least." He stepped backward and turned toward the door. "I expect this to be done promptly."
Moro's eyes widened. "Wait...no!"
The Spirit of Ice gestured to his son. "Kill her."
Kyrie moved his gaze to his sister, and beads of sweat slid down his face as he lifted his hands. "Moro...I'm sorry..."
She felt his Bloodbending grip enclose around her, and it was all she could do to keep him from snapping her in half. Shen...I'm so sorry...
His voice shook. "Moro...I can't..." The armored Bloodbender drew water from the air into an ice ball, which he used to drive a hole in the wall of the train. The wind whipped throughout the train car as the vehicle banked around a sharp turn, exposing a cliff that led to a large lake.
Both of them felt the air get colder, and Moro was filled with a sense of dread.
"If you cannot do this, I will!" Ice spikes formed on his knuckles. "Susanowo will not tolerate disobedience!"
The door shattered as Susanowo flew backward through it into their train car followed by a wisping trail of blue fire, and a blinding light revealed the silhouette of a young man. The light soon dissipated, exposing a familiar face to the two spirits, Lu Ten.
Before Susanowo could get entirely to his feet, another blast from a golden-eyed young man slammed into his chest and drove him to the floor again. Kenshin whirled, and Kyrie used the confusion to his advantage, resting his gaze on his sister's face.
"I am so sorry...maybe you'll have a better chance with the lake..."
She furrowed her brow as tears formed in her eyes. "What are you—?"
Her breath was stolen away when he shoved forward and sent her flying out of the train and toward the water below.
Kuan Ti sipped his lychee juice while sitting across from Rioku and Shen. They had found a place to stay, The Lotus, and made reservations. Now they occupied their time while waiting for Argho to return from the customs station.
"I wonder what Argho needs to see this 'Ancient Master' for..." Shen manipulated a tiny sphere of air above his hand absentmindedly. "I hope it's not another spirit; we have our hands full as it is."
Rioku narrowed his eyes. "I'm actually interested to meet this...Susanowo...and put a rock through his chest. You guys make it sound like he's powerful."
"He is." Kuan Ti again raised his glass to his lips. "I've fought him twice now, and each time he's easily outclassed me."
"You said your master was dead." The Earthbender's eye patch came into view as he gazed down the street. "Did Susanowo kill him?"
The Equalist frowned. "No...Zhan and I found his body filled with bullet holes on Whaletail Island...we had a base there, but he was supposed to have met with an Airbender..."
The sphere in Shen's hand dissipated immediately. "Who?"
Kuan Ti shook his head. "I don't know...it had something to do with Republic City and representation. All I know is that he never made it; someone murdered him first."
Rioku nodded. "Not to step on any toes, but does the Air Nation ever use firearms?"
The Airbender shook his head, a sick feeling growing in the pit of his stomach. "No. We've never even considered manufacturing them. We have...other weapons that are far more potent."
A commotion arose down the street, and all three heads turned to see two men sprinting down the street with coin purses in their hands and a shopkeeper desperately trying to pursue. Kuan Ti motioned for Rioku and Shen to stay seated as he himself stood and removed one of his revolvers from its holster.
The thieves barreled down the road, but soon ran into the non-bender as he stepped out into the street, gun raised to eye level.
"I would drop those if I were you and walk away. Now."
Their eyes widened, but before they could make a move one way or another, three slim forms slipped out of the crowd and began striking them in precise pressure points. The two men dropped like rocks, and Kuan Ti finally got a good view of the warriors. They wore thin armor, dark green in color, and had katanas at their hips. The most defining feature, however, was the face paint they wore, somehow making them even more intimidating.
One of the women faced Kuan Ti. "Thank you for your help, citizen, but I would suggest that you put that gun away. The Kyoshi Warriors can handle things from here."
Zhan grabbed the last of the bags off of the boat, preparing to take them to The Lotus. Argho was still clearing their things through customs, but the quiet allowed the Equalist to think.
I trust Kuan Ti's judgment; working with Argho could finally lend us some legitimacy.
"Pardon me...but would you be a member of the Equalists?"
Zhan whirled around to find a man with a deep purple cloak standing next to him. "Who are you, and how do you know me?"
The man bowed. "My apologies. I simply noticed your cloak and connected the dots."
The Equalist's hand went to the kali stick hanging from his belt. "Who. Are. You?"
"My name is Lin Quei, and I have a proposition for you."
Zhan raised an eyebrow. "What in the world could I possibly offer you?"
"I appreciate that the Equalists have continued the good fight in my absence, but I think that it is time for us to...become more aggressive in our endeavors."
"Are you dense?" Zhan narrowed his eyes. "I don't know you, and I'm certainly not interested in anything you have for us! I won't betray Kuan Ti's trust so easily, and I'm insulted that you think I would."
Lin Quei chuckled. "I am sorry if you misunderstood me; I never asked, nor intended, for you to betray anyone. However, should you wish to know more about who I am and what I want, you will be able to find me in Republic City. If you happen to arrive there, I will know. We can arrange a meeting if you so desire."
The Equalist shook his head. "Sorry, but I don't see that happening."
"You know where to find me if you change your mind, Zhan."

I was wondering if there's a good 2D game out there that will allow you to create your own level/world (custom games & quests too) and connect it to other players' levels/worlds. I know there's a TON of games that let you create your own levels/worlds... but I'm looking for the ability to connect those levels/worlds together. Any ideas?
I remember messing with MetaPlace, which was a website that allowed you to do that - but they closed down. Pity... it was pretty good!
I think Graal used to do that back in the day (haven't played it in years - not sure if it still does).
May 14, 2012 at 3:19 UTC
I understand what you're asking for, but I've never seen anything like that.
In the MUD Medievia - which is still around, I think - you COULD actually create a persistent area, but I mean, its all just text.

Always been a command & conquer fan myself, not sure if that helps.
May 14, 2012 at 2:06 UTC
Didn't Age of Empires did this sort of thing? Man, I loved that game. I used to make custom maps/campaigns on there (AOE2, I've never played the others).
May 14, 2012 at 2:12 UTC
Not exactly sure what you mean by connecting them together, but as for sharing maps in a 2D game, I'd have to recommend JetMen, a hysterical old multiplayer sidescroller where you fight each other in custom-made ships (that you also get to design). The neat thing about it, in my mind, is that the maps and ships can be created with Paint or any other photo-editor. The gameplay, too, is surprisingly fun for such a simple concept, though there aren't really RPG elements, per se, as you seem to be looking for.
May 14, 2012 at 2:12 UTC
The old Age of Wonders series had the ability to create and share custom maps, and multiple maps could be linked together in campaigns, but you couldn't move freely from one map to another.
May 14, 2012 at 2:17 UTC
yeah, i'm talking about a persistent world with connected maps in which you can move freely from world to world (or level to level). Like I said, MetaPlace did this perfectly - but now it's shut down. :-(
Command & Conquer was nice in that you could make your own maps.... but that game wasn't persistent and you couldn't connect maps together.

Investigator: Jessica Wyse
In response to the growing diversity among the criminally supervised population, some public agencies have begun targeting treatment and services by offenders' race, gender and cultural group, in an attempt to better serve these populations and ultimately reduce recidivism. In this study, I examine targeted treatment within the context of the Community Corrections System in Oregon State. Community Corrections (probation and parole) is a significant, but little-studied justice intervention that supervises one of every forty-five American adults. I use a mixed-methods approach to: 1) evaluate whether differential treatment is occurring within community corrections system across race and gender categories, 2) explore the implementation of "targeted" treatment within this setting, and 3) determine how state agents' personal beliefs about race and gender shape this treatment.
Using Oregon state administrative data, I evaluate differential treatment in risk score (a measure of recidivism risk) and community supervision level. I observe meetings between officers and offenders, and note the nature of the interaction. I compare the case notes recorded by officers across a small sample of offenders matched on risk score, crime type and history, but differentiated by race and gender. Finally, in semi-structured interviews, I identify race and gender specific policies and practices, and draw out officers' personal beliefs about the role race and gender play in criminal offending and rehabilitation.

|Archibald Newlands
|Double murderer
| Unnamed wife
Lynette Newlands (daughter with his wife)
Unnamed daughter (with his wife)
Emily Rose Morris (daughter with Brianna Morris; deceased)
|Martin Donovan
|First Appearance
Dr. Archibald Newlands was a dermatologist who had a practice in New York City called Newlands Skin Care. His wife was also a dermatologist at the same practice.
Manhattan Special Victims Unit detectives suspected Newlands in the death of Brianna Morris and her newborn daughter. Morris had been preparing to file a paternity lawsuit against him, and she also had been drugged with drugs he had access to. He offered to take a paternity test, which showed that he was not the father.
However, prior to the test, Newlands implanted a tube of blood he obtained from his wife's practice in order to beat the test. He did not know, however, that the blood belonged to a child rapist and he was subsequently arrested when the police discovered that. Unable to admit his deception without admitting guilt in the Morris case, he did not show up at his trial. He was subsequently shot and killed by the rapist, Peter Nestler.
His attorney in that case was Trevor Langan. (SVU: Serendipity)
Known VictimsEdit
- Brianna Morris (paralyzed with a sedative, then suffocated)
- Emily Rose Morris (his and Brianna's daughter; died in forced childbirth)

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was granted the house and kids. He couldn't change anything as far as keeping the kids on insurance, auto insurance and anything else that was already set in place. He called the mortgage company to cancel our trial modification on the house. My question is, Is he in contempt? Can he be arrested?
People are not arrested for violating court orders, unless a contempt is filed and a judge decides on that remedy. No one here has read your order so no one here can tell you if his conduct is contempt. One person can answer you (your lawyer). If you do not have one, you are long overdue to retain one to deal with these issues.
If you find this answer helpful, please mark it here on AVVO as helpful. In answering you, I am attempting to communicate general legal information and am not representing you (and am not your lawyer). Do feel free to call me at 404-768-3509 if you wish to discuss actual representation (the phone call also does not retain counsel; that requires an office visit and appropriate paperwork). In that a forum such as this provides me with limited details and doesn't allow me to review details and documents, it is possible that answers here, while meant to be helpful, may in some cases not be complete or accurate, and I highly recommend that you retain legal counsel rather than rely on the answers here. (You can also email my office at email@example.com . An email also does not retain my office, but can help you get an appointment set if you prefer not to call). I am happy to discuss possible representation with you. Any information in this communication is for discussion purposes only, and is not offered as legal advice. There is no right to rely on the information contained in this communication and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Nothing in my answer should be considered as tax-advice. To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, any U.S. federal tax advice provided in this communication is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by the recipient or any other taxpayer (i) for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties that may be imposed on the recipient or any other taxpayer, or (ii) in promoting, marketing or recommending to another party a partnership or other entity, investment plan, arrangement or other transaction addressed herein. I am also required to advise you, if your question concerns bankruptcy, that the U.S. Congress has designated Ashman Law Office as a debt relief agency that can help people file bankruptcy.Ask a similar question
Only the judge can say definitively whether or not a person is in contempt of a court order. For an attorney to tell you the likelihood of a judge finding him in contempt, that attorney would need to know precisely what your order says and a little about why he did what he did. Thus, this question should be directed to the attorney that represented you in the divorce. If that attorney is not available (or if you did not have one), you would need to sit down with another local attorney.
I hope this information helps answer your question(s).

Unfortunately this is not a question that can be answered without a lot more information. This situation would need a lawyer to review as there are both Civil and Criminal penalties for violation of a TPO/ Restraining order depending on the situation that order comes from.

I am really hoping to meet someone who enjoys having good conversations. My girlfriends usually remark at just how easy it it was to talk with me at first and how I made them feel like old friends. Hopefully that is a plus to some. I went to school for English and Philosophy so my thoughts do tend linger on ideas and themes which spring from those areas. You can say I appreciate a good book and others who are appreciative of a good line.
Tv Shows right now: Justified, American Horror, Grimm, Game of Thrones, Banshee

The foods you eat can have a big impact on the condition of your dry skin. Nourishing your body with the right minerals and vitamins through food gives your skin the chance to retain water and keep itself moisturised.
So why not try to incorporate some of the best foods for dry skin into your meals where you can and start feeding your skin!
1. Cucumber
A simple and refreshing addition to salads, cucumber contains silica - the mineral which boosts moisture and elasticity in your skin and encourages collagen formation.
Almost effortless to prepare, upping your intake of cucumber is an easy step to take in keeping your skin supple. Not a fan of cucumber? Celery also contains silica, try that out instead.
2. Avocados
Eaten as guacamole, spread on toast or as another wonderfully simple salad addition, avocado is a great food source to help your skin hold on to that all important moisture.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, avocados reduce inflammation and maintain the fluidity of skin cell membranes. They also contains vitamin E, which not only also helps moisture retention but will improve your skin's UV defense too.
3. Broccoli
Steamed, boiled or eaten raw, broccoli is a great way to sneak multitudes of goodness into your body.
Not only does it contain vitamin C to help dry skin restore smoothness and elasticity by promoting collagen formation, it also comes packed with vitamin E for moisture retention and UV defence. Just make sure not to overcook it and lose all it's nutrients!
4. Salmon
Another well known omega-3 wonder food, salmon will up your intake of these important healthy fats and acids to keep your skin supple and soft.
What's less well about salmon? It also contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid which enhances cell repair and collagen production, which in turn increases your skin's moisture.
5. Sweet Potatoes
Substitute sweet potato for regular potatoes where you can and you'll be doing your dry skin a big favour.
Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A, an antioxidant that protects your skin from free radicals that dry out your skin. Vitamin A also helps the skin rebuild tissue, making it great to heal wounds or other damage to the skin.
6. Coconut Oil
Ok so it's not technically a food you would eat on it's own, but using coconut whenever you can is a simple step to take for nourishing your dry skin. Simply replace your other cooking oils with coconut oil to start reaping its many benefits.
Another source of healthy fat, coconut oil is also a great anti-inflammatory and will even curb sugar cravings!
By mixing and matching the above best foods for dry skin, you can keep your diet interesting as well as rich in mineral and vitamins for nourishing your dry skin.
We'd love to hear about your food routine - which foods do you incorporate into your diet to nourish your skin? Let us know below in the comments!
We've used Tom Eversley's photograph for this blog post, see more of his work on tomeversley.com.

Ken Aisin: 36MP, 5-axis IBIS, weather-sealed, 100% viewfinder, and for just $1800!! What's not to like? Absolutely a photographer's camera. Makes me so wanna switch mount.
With longer lenses my D810/800E can be very difficult to use when I need to access buttons on the left side of the camera. These issues don't exist for my K-5.
I'm really looking forward to getting a K-1.
matthew saville: Man, combine this little but rock-solid workhorse with the "known" success of the Tamron-Pentax 15-30 2.8, and I think we have a new astro-landscape champion on our hands. This kit'll give a D810A + 14-24 2.8 quite a run for its money!
Thanks, but I've had them for years and it's not really the case that WB fixes it.
I do accept that the coatings on the Sigma lenses I use (35/art, 50/art, 120-300/sports, 150-600/sports) might be a part of my perceptions though. Considering that though, there really does seem to be a colour balance issue with my Nikons. I also have a Nikon 70-200 VRII, a 24 PCE and I did own a 300/F4 AIS, which I regret selling now, so I have some perspective in this.
My Zeiss 21/2.8 is amazing though.
D135ima: So small and so heavy. Correct me if am wrong. But I think that it is smaller than any FF DSLR and much heavier than any "non-including-vertical-grip" DSLR. How its fill like ? I want to know. I want take to hand that cute small and density brick.
Don't forget the magnets in the SR system.
It's way smaller than my D810.
But the lenses will be lighter/sharper due to no VR system within.
The K-1 weighs 30 grams more than the D810. That's 30 grams. Who would complain about such a small number?
matthew saville: Man, combine this little but rock-solid workhorse with the "known" success of the Tamron-Pentax 15-30 2.8, and I think we have a new astro-landscape champion on our hands. This kit'll give a D810A + 14-24 2.8 quite a run for its money!
Hi Matthew, thanks for your comment.
Correction: I meant to say that I have a D810 in my original post.
This K-1 would go very well with my FA31, FA77, DA55 and DA200. All that's left of my once extensive Pentax kit.
I've also got a few lenses I want to sell but it will all depend on the reviews.
PS: The pentax incarnation of the Tamron 24-70 is almost 3x the price (I have a Tamron 24-70) and my Nikon 14-24 is one of my favourite lenses of all time.. has less barrel distortion than the Tamron (err Pentax) but more flare. But there's also the superior Pentax colour to take into account. I've never been happy with the colour from my Nikons.. too yellow.

I've got a D180, 2x D800e, a K-5 and a K-01.
I've been thinking about selling a few cameras and this K-1 may just be the tipping point. I really want an astro camera and I absolutely hate the pink amp-glow of my Nikons.
I look forward to reviews of this camera.
Also, it's quite a bit smaller than my Nikons:
Seumas: I would like to thank dpreview for spending so much attention to the K1
but i just wonder what about the 50mm f2 in the picture about the use of vintage lenses?
the most common 50mm MF is the f1.7 version, another common and appreciated 50mm 's the f1.4 version.. So why did you choose (and maybe use?) the cheapest f.2 version?
The DA 55 f1.4 is in fact a full frame lens. I'm always shocked at its resolution on my K-5 at f/2 and I have the latest Sigma 50/1.4 'Art' on my D810.
thegreat26: I have been waiting since forever......but not for being second.
Anything less than Sony's 42 mp sensor will not be good enough. All those rumors about the 36mp.......if they are true......Nikon is using this sensor for the last 2 years.
I've got 2x D800E, 1x D810, 1x K5 & 1x K-01 and I can assure you that amp glow in low light is my biggest issue with the Nikons. It's totally invisible on my Pentax cameras, but easily produced with the Nikons.
I like to expose so as to get the maximum tonal range on the sensor and manipulate the exposure afterwards. This works very well with a K5, but, in some situations, not so well with my Nikons.
As much as I love my D800's, it'd be tempting to buy a K1 if the amp glow issue was gone.
b craw: As an academic (that declaration made with full awareness that many currently view academia with suspicion), I once again feel compelled to state that 'prizes' such as this rarely present the most important work(s) of their time. By most important, I mean that work which ultimately will shake out, via more rigorous dialog, as critical in moving art or specific art media forward - the avant-garde, if you will. These contests more often serve to reinforce curatorial trends, which all-to-often (re)present a pale echo of a more vital edge of dialog. Although I am not indicting Stewart's work specifically, I am seeing conceptualism and Postmodernism rebranded and deployed (for lack of a better way to describe it) in a rather anemic form in many of these quasi-art contexts. And, in the same way that the Grammy's really don't capture the most important music of any given year, these contests usually serve as analogous in terms of the thinness of their perception.
Images are visual communications that should be read - too many people here are making comments that reveal they assume the work is meant to grab them, rather than the other way around. To those making such demands, even in that context, it's your expectations that you are viewing - not the actual language of the art.
Pretty pictures, whilst they can captivate you for a few seconds can be like eating too much candy.
I made my comment below about this picture so I won't repeat myself here.
It's a brilliant image, an amazing composition that defines alienation and self absorption. The dividing line (background line on the wall) separates the imagination (of the girls) from the earthly ho hum they find themselves in and also anchors the entire image by drawing a line through each character - yet whilst it unites them they are still separated.
My only "complaint" is that the table is slightly oblique and would have been more stable compositionally if it were perfectly parallel to the edge of the image frame.
Art is not about rules and regulations, it's about breaking through that stuff and expressing yourself. The message is always more important than what many call "the craft".
Zvonimir Tosic: We should call it Penron lens. 6 months into the waiting for the FF camera(s), and Ricoh gives us a rebadged Tamron lens.
I would expect from a legendary Japanese optical company like Pentax to conjure up a design and a lens of their own, something users can crave about and be totally excited in terms of the forthcoming FF.
I own the Tamron 24-70 for my D810. I tested it against the older Nikon 24-70, which it beat easily, so I wouldn't agree that the new lens won't come up to scratch. With Pentax coatings this lens will be very nice indeed.
King of Song: I hate to say this... but I will anyway. That guy is not a photographer, he's just a guy with a camera, who happened to be in the right place at the right time but still managed to ruin the shot.
The image is not a snapshot as the photographer was in control of the entire shoot and used his available tools to perfection.
"Just a guy with a camera" doesn't cover it and is an insult to anyone who loves the medium and who's studied it.
I guess we were all lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time when we were born, some are just a little luckier than the rest.
Dx0 aren't reviewing this camera - "it's not in our road map". I suspect DPR won't either.
The biased review sites usually wait until their favoured brands bring out a competing product so they can dig the boot in don't they?
...just saying ;)
It's now May 2015 and I read only a few minutes ago that Dx0 won't be testing this camera "for now" as "it's not in our Roadmap".
I'm pretty sure this camera would easily top their sensor ratings but we won't find out unfortunately.
And people wonder why Pentax enthusiasts think there's some kind of conspiracy.
Neez: Actually, i'm impressed. Everyone was expecting high ISO to look really really bad, but i see puts the 5DSR in between APS-C and other Full frame cameras. The D810 looks only slightly better in High ISO noise at ISO 6400. But it's still better than the 645Z which is a medium format camera.
This camera should be great for studio shooting, and up to the level of full frame cameras in the 2008-2010ish year range in low light, which is still good depending on your needs.
What i'd like to see is a single shot HDR mode, where the camera takes half the pixels at 1 ISO and the other half at another ISO. You'd still get a 25mp still image with phenomenal dynamic range, and you can dot it at normal shutter speeds with no ghosting.
The 645Z is clearly better than all competitors at high ISO and retains details that are reduced to chunks of colour in the other pictures.
zakaria: I think with this new pixel shift .. RICOH will use 24 mp sensor for the upcoming fullframe . I assume they will try to make this new feature a standard on all their new cameras.and this feature is just for preparing the flagship .
But so does HDR and yet people still use that.
Bhima78: I'm starting to think that Ricoh's sensor shift idea is actually better than Oly's as it will require a whole heck of a lot less processing, and can likely be done on the fly much faster. Plus, adding resolution isn't as big of an advantage as adding color information imo. If this works well, it could replace a Foveon sensor.
I suspect they limited the resolution aspect of this tech so as to not affect the future sales of their 36MP FF.
ProfHankD: A little late to be getting into the FF DSLR business, isn't it? Sure does look a lot like their medium-format bodies.The interesting question is what sensor?
It's never too late for anything because every year there are fresh faces entering every single market on the planet.

Argyll Robertson pupilplay
Medical Definition of Argyll Robertson pupil
: a pupil characteristic of neurosyphilis that fails to react to light but still reacts in accommodation to distance
Biographical Note for argyll robertson pupil
Douglas Argyll (1837–1909), British ophthalmologist. The leading ophthalmologist in Scotland, Robertson specialized in the physiology and diseases of the eye. He published more than fifty medical papers on such topics as etiology of glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and hydrophthalmos. In 1869 he produced his most significant contribution, an article concerned with accommodation in miosis associated with spinal diseases. Robertson was also a popular teacher, and the naming of the condition in his honor gave rise to the quip that it was "far better to be an Argyll Robertson pupil than to have one."

The Failure (7 of 7) by J.D. Greear
This content is part of a series.The Failure (7 of 7)
Series: Can't Believe: Gospel of John
JD Greear
John 21:1-25
Video of Jason: Preacher in him.
• We baptized 138 last week which brings out total to 320 baptisms within a 1--week time period. Most we've ever had.
• One final week... for those of you have held on! For two weeks you have made a resolution.
• Just as Christ was dead in the grave for 2 days but on the 3rd day he was raised, so you have been unbaptized and disobedient for 2 weeks and on this 3rd week you will rise up to be baptized...
Our last message in this Can't Believe series is on Peter. His story is a little different than some of the other stories that we have looked at, in that Peter is not an unbeliever whom Jesus convinces to believe, he's a believer that has quit believing (at least in some ways), and you are going to see how Jesus brings him back to belief.
(So open your Bible to John 21...
• Now, as you are turning there you might notice that I am skipping the story of Thomas, and many of you say, "Wait... Doubting Thomas: he's like the one guy I would have thought would make a perfect 'can't believe' story. You know, "Mr. 'Unless I see the nail--prints in his hands and scars in his side I won't believe'-Thomas."
• You are right. I was supposed to do Thomas' story last week but felt, midstream, like David Nasser was supposed to be here. So, I skipped Thomas, and I need to end this series this week because of some really exciting things we need to get to next week.
• So, I'm going to come back and pick up the Thomas story later when I have a free week, because it really kills me to
not do his story-his story sort of sums up this whole series.
• It will be like Can't Believe: The Lost Files or bonus tracks or something like that.)
John 21
[21:1] After this Jesus revealed himself again...
• Now, after what? The resurrection.
• When you're reading the Gospel of John for the first time, when you get to the end of chapter 20 you'd assume the book ...

Heart rate continues toss, footsteps remain unified
Life in full color sheet dreams will come true latent
The high ideals it unattainable by effort and gaiety and earnestness
That is the meaning of love yourself
If we love someone, we will always pray for him
Although he was not on our side
God gave us two legs to walk
Two hands to hold
Two ears to hear
And two eyes to see
But why did God only bestows heart piece to us?
Because God has given a piece of liver to someone else for us to look
That's love ...
Do not occasionally say goodbye when we were still trying to
Do occasionally give up if we still feel up
Do not occasionally say we do not love him anymore if we still can not forget
Love comes to those who still have hope
Although they have been let down
To those who still believe
Although they had been betrayed
To those who still want love
Although they have been hurt before and
To those who have the courage and conviction to rebuild trust
Do not let us keep the words of love to the people you care about
Until he passed away and eventually we had to record the words of love that the tomb
Should recite the words of love are stored in our minds
Now while there his life
Maybe God wants us to meet and love with the wrong people
Before meeting with the right person
We must understand how to thank you for the gift of
Love can turn bitter into sweet
Dust into gold
Cloudy to clear
sick into cured
Prison into the lake
Anguish into favor
And anger into mercy
It hurts to love someone who does not love us
But the most painful is to love someone and we never had the courage to express her love
If we want to love or have one's heart
Like the saying like picking a red rose
Sometimes we could smell the roses
But sometimes we feel when it rose thorns finger prick
A sad thing in life
Is when we meet someone who means a lot to us
Only to find that eventually become meaningless
And we should let it go
Sometimes we do not appreciate the people who love us unconditionally
So we lose
At that time nothing to regret because it goes without saying anymore
Love a person on the basis of "who he is now"
And not "who he previously"
The story of the past do not need to be raised again
Had we really love him wholeheartedly
Be careful with love
Because love can also make healthy people into sick
Fat people into thin
Normal people into insane
The rich become poor
King into slave
If love was greeted by the fake lovers
The possibility of what we care about or love
badness stored therein
And the possibility of what we hate
Goodness stored therein
Meaning hunks love to treasure
Natural meaning of love to women
Self-love means wise
Love to death is life
And the love of God means piety
Throw someone who is happy in love to the sea
Surely he will bring a fish
Throw is also a failure in love to the myriad of bread
Surely he would die of hunger
If we can speak in all human languages and natural
But do not have feelings of love and affection
You do not change that resonated like a gong or a jingle shells
Love is immortality and memories are the most beautiful things
In love I have ever owned
Anyone good at live love
But nobody good judge of love
Because love is not something that can be seen by the form of visible
Instead of love can only be felt through the heart and feelings
Love can soften iron, stone crushing, raised the dead and the life of her
As well as making a slave to be a leader
That is the essence of love ...
True love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves
And does not change as the picture we want
Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find from within him
We will never know if we are going to fall in love
But when it's time to seize it with both hands
And do not let him go with a million question marks in his sense
Love is not cheap and commonplace words
But the gift of God's love is a beautiful and sacred if humans can see and assess the sanctity
Making love was easy
To be loved is also easy
But to be loved by the people we love that are difficult to obtain
If the presence of love just to disappoint
Better to love was never present
Because love is something that brings the beauty and happiness in it
Love is like a butterfly
Add chased added run
But if allowed to fly he will come when we do not expect
Love can make you happy
But often also be sad
But new love worth if given to someone who appreciated
So do not rush and choose the best
Love is not how to be the perfect partner for someone
But how to find someone who can help you be yourself
Do not ever say "I Love You" if we never cared
Never talk about feelings that never existed
Never touch someone's life if it is to break her heart
Never looked into his eyes that made us all just to lie
The most cruel thing one does to others
Is to let it fall in love
Whilst we do not respond to him
love is not "this wrong you" but "i'm sorry"
instead of "Where are you?" but "I'm here"
instead of "how the hell are you" but "I understand"
Not "didn't you try like this" but "I love you like you is"
The most activity was not measured by how long we've been together
And how often we shared
But as long as we are together we always complement each other and create a quality of life
Only feel sadness and longing for what we want
And wrenching as deep as we allow
The weight is not how to repeat the sadness and longing
But how do I learn from it
How to fall in love
Fall but do not stagger
Consistent but do not force
Share and do not be unfair
Understand and try not demanding
Sad but the sadness never keep
Indeed ill see our loved ones being happy with others
But it hurt more when someone we love is not happy with us
Love is going to hurt when we split up with someone
More painful when we are forgotten by lover
But love will be more painful when someone we love do not know what we really feel
The saddest thing in life is to find someone and fall in love
Only to find that he is not for us
And we've spent a lot of time for people who never appreciate
If he says "no"
So he will never say "yes" again a year or 10 years from now
Let him go ...
Love is the spirit of
Love is trust
Love is the energy that can not be destroyed
He can only change form
Love does not have to have
Because love means never giving all I ask
