I just love the TV show Sister Wives, it really has changed my mind on polygamy (I wouldn't say its for me, but they seem to love each other so much so I'm not against it if they think can do it), but then I had a flash of lightning come to mind. A Sister Wives RP! Technically it's not just sister wives, but its also just polyamory in general.

So I've already started a little work on it. It's about the "Lorraine" family. There's a bunch of face claims, between the wives, husbands(because it's not just a heterosexual thing), and children, and the "townies"!!! dun dun dun. lol.

Basically the concept of the RP would be exploring the inner dynamics and conflicts within a polygamist/group marriage, as well as the children's inner struggles, and how "normal" people react to their coming out of the walk-in closet.

Overall there's like 19 face claims I already have, though that is obviously subject to change depending on how many players there be. Speaking of players, I'd like rather literate players with a vibrant vocabulary and ability to play unique characters. literate+? I don't want to sacrifice the quality of an RP just to have it go. It's either all the way or nothing, nameen?

I wander if anyone would be interested in this? I know it's kinda an odd idea, being that the majority of people sorta find it amoral, but I didn't think rpgateway is a place necessarily for morality and I thought maybe would get a kick out of it.

Whatchu think?

Hilary Duff vs. Lindsay Lohan

Take two Disney starlets and one prepubescent popstar and you have a recipe for one of the most discussed celebrity feuds of the 2000s. Back in 2002, Aaron Carter reportedly broke up with or cheated on Hilary Duff, who he was dating for two years, to hook up with Lindsay Lohan. The 15-year-old Casanova then left Lohan to get back together with Duff. Though the girls should have been furious with Carter, they instead turned on each other. Their feud played out in the pages of magazines with both actresses <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/8669450/ns/today-entertainment/t/lohan-says-duff-rebuffed-her-peace-attempt/" target="_hplink">taking shots at each other for years. </a> By 2007 the girls put their past behind them and made up. "We are both adults and whatever happened, happened when we were young," Duff <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20033534,00.html" target="_hplink">told People</a>. "It's over."

Jon Hamm vs. Kim Kardashian

"Mad Men" star Jon Hamm recently made some unflattering <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/09/jon-hamm-slams-kim-kardashian-idiot-culture_n_1335411.html" target="_hplink">comments to Elle UK </a>about celebrity culture, putting reality TV queen Kim Kardashian in his crosshairs. "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly," he told the magazine. Kim responded on Twitter, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/12/kim-kardashian-responds-jon-hamm-stupid_n_1339923.html?ref=the-kardashians" target="_hplink">writing</a>: "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless." When asked about his comments, <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/jon_hamm_kim_kardashian_slam_not/301003#ixzz1p6Yz2tbE" target="_hplink">Hamm told E! News</a>, "It's surprising to me that this has become remotely a story. I don't know Ms. Kardashian. I know her public persona. What I said was meant to be more on pervasiveness of something in culture, not personal, but she took offense to it and that is her right."

Courtney Love vs. Dave Grohl

It's a known fact that Courtney Love hates former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, and he is by no means fond of her. The two have been feuding over the rights to Nirvana's music since Kurt Cobain killed himself in 1994. Most recently, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/courtney-love-explains-foo-fighters-rant_n_1095238.html" target="_hplink">Courtney explained</a> why she hates the Foo Fighters frontman, after playing a show in Brazil. "What I was saying, is Dave makes $5 million a show, he doesn't need the money. His mother's a banker, his father's a stock broker and he's making $5 million a show. Why the f**k then does he have a Nivana Inc. credit card and I don't? And last week he bought an Aston Martin on it," she said.

Miley vs. Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato

Disney starlets do not play nice. In 2008, teen queen Miley Cyrus went head to head with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. BFFs Selena and Demi used to make goofy videos they would post to YouTube, much to the chagrin of Miley as it turned out. Miley and her BFF Mandy made a parody video where they mocked the other girls, making fun of their makeup and the gap in Demi's front teeth. The feud appeared to come out of nowhere. "To be honest I don't know what happened," <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2008/08/01/the-miley-cyrus-selena-gomez-demi-lovato-feud-nonexistent/" target="_hplink">Selena told MTV</a>. "I though we were okay, but to be honest, I don't even know [Miley and Mandy]. And Demi has never met Miley. It's interesting -- that's all I'm going to say about it." They all eventually made up and became friends. <a href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00021443.html" target="_hplink">Miley addressed the feud in a YouTube video in 2009: </a> "So everyone's thinking there's a big feud between me and Selena and Demi. Actually, I'm going to have meatloaf with Demi tonight. I'm riding my bike to Demi's house. So I'm going to be partying with Demi 'cause we're friends, and I love her and she is always there for me. She is one of my bestest friends."

Donald Trump vs. Rosie O'Donnell

There are many celebs who have feuded with Donald Trump, but his ongoing fight with Rosie O'Donnell remains the most memorable. In 2006, Rosie criticized Trump for not dethroning Miss USA Tara Conner after her drug scandal and she called him a "pimp" and "snake oil salesman." Never one to take things lying down, Trump responded by calling her a "big, fat pig" and a "loser." Their feud dragged on until no one wanted to hear what either of them had to say and it unfortunately started up again. <a href="http://www.accesshollywood.com/donald-trump-and-rosie-odonnell-feud-reignited_article_57986" target="_hplink">In December 2011, Trump tweeted</a>, "Same last name, same bad ratings - @lawrence and @rosie," and linked to a YouTube clip of himself ranting about how neither of their talk shows were doing well. Rosie tweeted back, "How many billionaires sell ties and have crappy non reality shows -- none - go back to selling snake oil #bankruptmuch?" Neither will spare the public of their immaturity and their feud continues today.

Will.i.am vs. Perez Hilton

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton was confronted by the Black Eyed Peas at the Much Music Video Awards in 2009 and began hurling insults at Will.i.am and the rest of the band. Perez was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/22/perez-hilton-called-willi_n_219088.html" target="_hplink">punched in the face</a> by Will.i.am's manager and the blogger later tweeted, "I was assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need a police report. No joke." Will.i.am later denied Hilton's claims and Hilton shot back with a 12-minute video blasting the Black Eyed Pea as a "disgusting human being" and "a fucking liar." Perez later sued Will.i.am's manager and a s<a href="http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/perez-hilton-black-eyed-peas-manager-settle-suit-1537413.story" target="_hplink">ettlement was reached.</a>

Lindsay Lohan vs. Brandon Davis

Who needs enemies when you have friends like Brandon Davis? Back in 2006, Lindsay Lohan was pals with Paris Hilton, until Paris accused her of trying to steal her boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos. Once Lindsay was on the outs with her socialite friends, oil heir Davis took it upon himself to brand Lohan with a nickname. While drunk in LA one night, Davis was filmed ranting about Lohan, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2006/05/17/paris-and-brandon-davis-the-incredible-hatred-toward-lindsay/#.T2FG_HJSTdc" target="_hplink">dubbing her "fire crotch," and making other rude and disgusting claims. </a>

Kelly Osbourne vs. Christina Aguilera

These ladies need to learn to keep their comments to themselves. Back in the day, Christina Aguilera apparently used to call Kelly Osbourne fat, and now that Kelly has slimmed down and Christina has gained a few pounds the tables have turned. Osbourne made sure to call attention to the singer's weight gain, not once, but twice in 2011. "Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was born to be. I don't know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house," Osbourne said <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/04/kelly-osbourne-calls-christina-aguilera-a-fat-bitch_n_918063.html" target="_hplink">during an episode of "Fashion Police" that aired in August.</a> "She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too." Then in October, the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/17/kelly-osbourne-i-was-never-as-fat-as-christina-aguilera_n_1015490.html" target="_hplink">singer was again the topic of discussion on the show: </a> "Lady Marmalade got into the peanut better again," quipped co-host Joan Rivers when criticizing Aguilera's too-tight outfit. "She called me fat for years, I was never that fat," Osbourne said and later added, "Trust me, I'm a 2/4. That is not a 2/4."

Shannen Doherty vs. Alyssa Milano

Shannen Doherty has a reputation as Hollywood's bad girl and feuded with nearly all of her "Beverly Hills, 90210" castmates, and yet it was her feud with Alyssa Milano that will go down as the worst. The "Charmed" co-stars began fighting on set during the third season and it was reported that Shannen was jealous of Alyssa's popularity. Tension ran high on set and things grew so heated, producers had to bring in a mediator to resolve their issues. When they couldn't work things out, Shannen left the show.

Mariah Carey vs. Eminem

Is there anyone Eminem hasn't feuded with? Eminem and Mariah Carey began to spar after he claimed that they used to have a sexual relationship. Mariah denied the relationship, telling Larry King, "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don't consider that dating somebody." Mariah later mocked his claim in her video for "Obsessed," which featured an Eminem look-alike who was obsessed with her. The rapper retaliated with a number of songs that mentioned Carey and threatened to release nude photos of the singer as well as voicemails to prove they dated. In the song "The Warning" he raps: "Shut the fuck up before I put up all the phone calls you made to my house when you were "Wild N' Out" before Nick, when you was on my dick and give you something to smile about."

Charlie Sheen vs. Chuck Lorre

When Charlie Sheen lost his mind in 2011, he dug his own grave and lost his job as the highest paid actor on television. Sheen went on a rampage, verbally attacking "Two and a Half Men" showrunner Chuck Lorre, after CBS suspended the series due to Sheen's insane behavior. After Lorre make a joke about Sheen, the <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20469063,00.html" target="_hplink">actor attacked him, calling Lorre a "clown" </a>, and made a strange anti-Semitic dig, saying his real name is "Chaim Levine" (though his name is actually Charles Michael Levine). Sheen continued to blast Lorre as a "stupid, stupid little man and a p*ssy punk that I never want to be like." Now that Sheen appears to be sober, Lorre has <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-01-11/news/30618049_1_half-men-fx-network-leaf" target="_hplink">chosen to take the high road.</a> "I wish him well. I'm glad he's happy and sober," he said in January 2012.

Lauren Conrad vs. Heidi and Spencer

"You know what you did," Lauren Conrad screamed at Heidi Montag on an episode of "The Hills." Lauren and Heidi's friendship began to dissolve in 2007, when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt. "He's a sucky person," she infamously told her one-time best friend. Heidi chose a relationship with Spencer over a friendship with Lauren and spread a rumor there was a<a href="http://www.justjared.com/2008/05/01/heidi-montag-lauren-conrad-feud/" target="_hplink"> Lauren Conrad sex tape floating around. </a> Heidi tried to repair things with Lauren, but she wasn't having it. "I want to forgive you and I want to forget you," Lauren told her as <a href="http://www.sheknows.com/living/march-madness-mix-up-gallery/cry-faces/lauren-conrad-3" target="_hplink">mascara ran down her face</a>. The feud eventually ended but they never repaired their friendship. As Spencer began to fade into obscurity he tried make himself relevant by burying the hatchet with Conrad, <a href="http://tv.yahoo.com/news/lauren-conrad-planning-ignore-spencer-pratts-apology-000504559.html" target="_hplink">wishing her a happy birthday</a> on Twitter in February 2012.

Chris Christie vs. Snooki

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has no love for the "Jersey Shore" cast and Snooki isn't fond of him either. Christie has been vocal about his distaste for the cast and has referred to them as "losers," and also vetoed a $420,000 tax credit for the MTV reality show in September 2011. Snooki doesn't appriaciate being called a loser and the pint-size reality star <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/snooki-refuses-to-vote-for-chris-christie_n_1247211.html" target="_hplink">tweeted that she wouldn't be voting for Christie for president </a> and added, "Love always, the "buffoons" from that degrading Jersey Shore show." Christie wasn't and isn't running for president, but Snooki regardless explained: "I DEF don't want a judgmental president who has NEVER met me in person. F that. idc who exploits me. But for a man wanting to be president&calling us names when he's never met us..no thanks. I'll stick w Obama."

Kid Rock vs. Steven Tyler

Kid Rock had a big problem with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler taking on a new gig as a judge on "American Idol" in 2010. Kid Rock didn't believe a true rock star would even think about working for a show like "Idol" and proceeded to trash Tyler for it. <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39954827/ns/today-entertainment/t/kid-rock-slams-steven-tylers-american-idol-gig/#.T2ICPGLLwbI" target="_hplink">Rock told Entertainment Weekly,</a> "I think it's the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life. He's a sacred American institution of rock and roll, and he just threw it all out the window. Just stomped on it and se it on fire." At a press conference, Tyler <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/steven-tyler-on-kid-rock-hes-just-jealous-20101105" target="_hplink">responded</a>, "He's just jealous, he's just jealous. And he's working on his new record, so God bless him."

Chris Brown vs. Miranda Lambert

Miranda Lambert was not happy to see Chris Brown performing at the Grammy Awards. "And Chris Brown Twice? I don't get it. He beat on a girl...Not cool that we act like that didn't happen," she tweeted referencing Brown's brutal 2009 assault on Rihanna. Brown responded indirectly by tweeting, "Hate all you want because I got a grammy now! That's the ultimate f*** off." Then at her concert, Lambert held up a handwritten poster that read, "Take notes Chris Brown" and said to the audience, "Listen, I just need to speak my mind. Where I come from, beating up on a women is never OK. So that's why my daddy taught me early on in life how to use a shotgun." Brown fired back in a series of tweets: "Using my name to get publicity? I love it! Perform your heart out! Go buy @miranda_lambert! So motivational and "PERFECT." Goodnight to all the people who live life and who aren't stuck in the past!"

Brett Ratner v. Olivia Munn

In actress Olivia Munn's book "Suck It, Wonder Woman," she recounts her brief romantic dalliance with director Brett Ratner and didn't have anything nice to say about the size of his penis. Ratner <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/243711/20111104/brett-ratner-admits-banged-olivia-munn-promoting.htm" target="_hplink">addressed the claims on "Attack of the Show" saying</a>, "I used to date Olivia Munn, I'll be honest with everyone here, when she was Lisa...she wasn't Asian back then." He continued: "She was hanging out on my set of 'After the Sunset,' I banged her a few times. But I forgot her...because she changed her name...I didn't know it was the same person, so when she came and auditioned for me for a TV show I forgot her, she got pissed off, and she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer." Munn responded by tweeting a link to a Cosmo article she had written titled, "How to Stand up to an A-Hole," that detailed an incident with a director she called the "Douche."

LeAnn Rimes vs. Giuliana Rancic

LeAnn Rimes is skinny -- so skinny that she has people worrying that she's not eating. The equally skinny Giuliana Rancic was one those people. Pot, meet kettle. The two skinny ladies battled it out <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/30/leann-rimes-responds-giuliana-rancic_n_941579.html" target="_hplink">telling each other to eat a sandwich. </a>

Ciara vs. Rihanna

Rihanna and Ciara -- who both dated Chris Brown in the past -- got into a heated public spat in February 2011. First Ciara made a dig at Rihanna on "Fashion Police," saying: "I ran into her recently at a party. She wasn't the nicest. It's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done in fashion. It wasn't the most pleasant run-in." When Rihanna heard what Ciara had said, she fired back on Twitter. "My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you? How rude of me.... You gangsta huh? Ha." They volleyed insults and threats at each other and then Rihanna called a truce. "Ciara baby, I love you girl! You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's why I retaliated this way! So sorry! Let's make up." Ciara accepted the apology and that was that.

Kourtney Kardashian vs. Farrah Abraham

This might be one of the most ridiculous celebrity fights of all time. "Teen Mom" cast member Farrah Abraham didn't think things through when she criticized Kourtney Kardashian on Twitter. "I'm shocked Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again Did she not learn anything from TEEN MOM? Maybe its a fake pregnancy like kims wedding SAD," she tweeted. Kourtney was understandably confused by the attack and tweeted back, "Why would I have anything to do with Teen Mom? I'm 32 years old! I may look young, honey, but don't get it twisted." While Kourtney suggested that Farrah had no idea what she was talking about, the "Teen Mom" star couldn't resist firing back at her: "Guess what! Age and money honestly do not change a person's poor choice. Quit making excuses," she tweeted. Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick also got in on the fight, sarcastically tweeting at Farrah, "We're not teenagers, ya f**king moron." When asked if he knew who she was, he responded, ""I just thought she was some shit stain on Twitter, no?" Sadly, this Twitter fight actually continued with Farrah later tweeting, "4 all who mistunderstood: regards to kourtney K.~I hope she takes her relationship w/her boyfriend more serious 4 their children-takecare." Shortly after, however, she couldn't resist getting one more word in with a jab at Disick: "Caught wind of these dramatic articles, w/ loser scott disick or some boyfriend of kourtneys, is Shit Stain < racist 4 black?" she wrote. "Great dad! NOT."

Anthony Bourdain vs. Paula Deen

Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is not a fan of Paula Deen's cooking. In 2011 he told TV Guide she was "the worst, most dangerous person to America." Deen responded, claiming, "You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills . . . It wasn't that long ago that I was struggling to feed my family, too." Months later, after Deen announced she has Type 2 diabetes and was now a paid spokeswoman for a diabetes medication, Bourdain <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20562258,00.html" target="_hplink">responded with a thinly veiled tweet</a>: "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later." Deen fired back that Bourdain should "get a life".

Jonah Hill vs. Matthew Morrison

Jonah Hill made it clear he was no fan of "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, when he appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" in September 2011. Hill recalled a "douchey Hollywood party" where he tried to eavesdrop on a conversation between "Gossip Girl" actor Chace Crawford and Morrison, who had<a href="http://www.dlisted.com/2011/09/23/fight-fight-jonah-hill-vs-matthew-morrison" target="_hplink"> made a joke at Hill's expense at an event a few weeks earlier</a>. He then overheard the two drop his name and start laughing. Hill took the opportunity on "Late Night" to call out the "Glee" actor: "Matthew Morrison, you better bring your sh*t next time I see you...I'd like to see him sing his way out of this one," he said. Morrison responded by sending a goofy video to "Late Night," where he finished his joke about Hill and then accepted the actor's challenge, saying, "Nobody messes with someone from musical theater!" This extremely dorky feud <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1673980/jonah-hill-matthew-morrison-sitter.jhtml" target="_hplink">eventually just blew over</a>.

Chelsea Handler vs. Michelle "Bombshell" McGee

Chelsea Handler <a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2010/04/chelsea-handler-goes-after-michelle-bombshell-mcgee-some-more.html" target="_hplink">started a feud with Jesse James' tattooed mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee in 2010,</a> with a joke she wrote on her blog: "I guess she doesn't read magazines which makes sense, since she basically has one on her face." McGee responded on her Facebook page writing: "Chelsea, here's some free advice: Use some of that Botox from your forehead and put it in your flabby underarm skin. I've seen better wings in a bucket of KFC chicken." And later wrote, ""In all seriousness, Im a big fan of 'Chelsea Lately' ... I was laughing my ass off.... feel so honored to have a transexual [sic] poke fun of me ..." Don't mess with a comedian -- Handler didn't hold back with her response to McGee: "First of all, look at my forehead, you dumb bitch, okay? It moves ... You have a tattoo on your forehead, so you have had a needle in your forehead -- and probably Jesse James' balls. So shut your face."

Ryan Murphy vs. Kings of Leon

This feud started after Kings of Leon declined to allow the Fox series "Glee," to cover one of its songs on a future episode. "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy was pissed and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/26/kings-of-leon-vs-glee-nathan-followill-fires-back-at-ryan-murphy-in-homophobic-rant_n_814351.html" target="_hplink">sent a message to the band via The Hollywood Reporter</a>: "F**K you, Kings of Leon," he said. "They're self-centered assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music." KOL member Nathan Followill fired back with a homophobic dig at openly gay Murphy, tweeting: "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr olds how to say f**k." Realizing how his comments could be seen, Followill later tweeted: "I'm sorry 4 anyone that misconstrued my comments as homophobic or misogynistic. I'm so not that kind of person. I really do apologize."

Tom Cruise vs. Brooke Shields

In 2005, Tom Cruise seemed to have lost his marbles when he jumped on couches on Oprah's talkshow. He then lashed out at actress Brooke Shields, while on the "Today" show, telling Matt Lauer that Shields should not have taken antidepressants to combat the postpartum depression she was suffering from after the birth of her first child. Cruise, a Scientologist who shuns psychiatry, insisted the depression could be treated with "vitamins and exercise." Shields responded by writing an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/01/opinion/01shields.html" target="_hplink">op-ed piece in the New York Times, writing</a>: "I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression ... And comments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere ... If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease." Cruise later apologized to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1531255,00.html" target="_hplink">Shields, the actress told Jay Leno </a>a year later. "He came over to my house and he gave me a heartfelt apology. And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened," she said.

Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West

Kayne West infamously hijacked Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards, interrupting her to say, "I'm really happy for you. I'ma let you finish, but Beyonc? had one of the best videos of all time." Swift was dumbstruck by the incident and it seemed as if she didn't want to get into it with the rapper. "I don't know him, and I've never met him, so..." she said. "I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight." A year later she was literally singing a different tune. At the 2010 VMAs she p<a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2010/09/13/taylor-swift-kanye-west-mtv-video-music-awards-youre-still-an-innocent-time-we-had-a-toast/" target="_hplink">erformed her new song</a> "You're Still an Innocent," a reference to the previous year's incident with West, basically calling him immature. "Thirty-two and still growing up now / who you are is not what you did / you're still an innocent," she sang. Kanye didn't have any right to fire back, but of course he did. At a concert in New York City, <a href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/24/kanye-west-concert-taylor-swift/" target="_hplink">West blasted Swift to his fans</a>: "Everybody needs a villain, don't we? We need to blame someone at all times ... I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to word it, but I wrote it, I rode it, just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves and rode it and rode it." The feud seems to have blown over, as Swift wore a blouse from Kanye West's spring 2012 collection in the <a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2012/03/07/taylor-swift-kanye-west-design-harpers-bazaar-australia/" target="_hplink">pages of Harper's Bazaar. </a>

If you?re like me?into IM and kicking yourself for the fact that you STILL don?t have your own product, fret not, my fellow newsletter readers, for the cure is here and I am about to spell it out for you in this one short blog ?blurb? that will show you that you don?t have to be an ?expert? to be an ?expert?.

For starters, I would like to point out that having your own product is a great way to protect yourself from lost affiliate marketing revenue.

Why would I say that? I say that because there is a rather large swath of techniques specially designed for the sole purpose of using affiliates as a lead generation tool and then surgically removing them from the commission process.

What?!? Stolen Commissions?!? No Way!!!

What does this mean? It essentially means that you can spend tons of time, effort and energy performing keyword and market research, building and coding websites, creating content for those websites, optimizing that content for search engines using both onsite and offsite techniques, using that content and subsequent SERP rankings to build lists of leads?all to drive traffic to an affiliate offer?only to have the product owner cut you out of the deal at the last second using one of a large library of commission concealing or removal techniques.

Don?t believe me? Ask yourself this question: ?When is the last time I have seen an opt-in pop up appear on a landing page for a product that I am promoting through its affiliate program??

Odds are, you have seen many of them. As much as I would like to pretend like we all live in the ?land of make-believe? and that product owners are ?honest?, the truth is many are not and can and will steal your commissions and have no problem sleeping at night thereafter.

So how can you protect yourself? Three words: YOUR OWN PRODUCT.

Own Your Own Product

So let me guess?you don?t have your own product.

Can you make one and sell it using your own landing page? What?s that? You say you do not have the necessary skills to create your own product?

Well, I?m here to tell you, its probably time that you tried.

Here is a small super-simple blueprint that will help you get started on the road to creating your own product in just about any niche you are bold enough to tackle. Many of the steps will sound very familiar and all of this will be painfully obvious, but just keep reading and go with it.

But before you do this, you are going to have to understand a simple concept and that is this?affiliate marketing and internet marketing are NOT the same thing. Affiliate marketing is the selling of other peoples products and then hoping that they pay you. Internet marketing is the selling of a product YOU own and then paying affiliates when they refer leads to you.

But I?m An Affiliate Marketer?!?

Although these two worlds use many of the same tools and appear to be similar on the surface?THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Internet marketing is FAR SUPERIOR to affiliate marketing in almost every way.

Internet marketers LEVERAGE affiliates. Affiliates GET LEVERAGED by internet marketers.

So now that we have that out of the way, lets get down to business step-by-step.

Product Creation Fundamentals

Step One ? Pick a niche. Obviously, if you are going to create a product your going to have to pick a niche that has a problem that you can create a solution to. In this particular step, I want you to not worry about whether or not the niche is saturated or competitive, but I do want you to look at the problems in this niche and ask yourself if there is something you could contribute to it. If you can, DO IT USING THE FOLLOWING SIMPLE STEPS.

Side Note: Try to pick a niche other than Internet Marketing or Making Money Online. Both of these are over-run with redundant products that have high return and refund rates and a pre-existing ANGRY CUSTOMER BASE. Just FYI. The more refined the niche, the better. The more technical the niche, the better.

Step Two ? Look at your competition. Take a look at the businesses and individuals that have products in your niche. Do they solve the problem or problems that you have identified in that niche? If they do so successfully, then proceed to the next step.

Step Three ? Purchase their products and analyze them in every detail and then REVERSE ENGINEER them. Reverse engineering happens and is a fundamental part of each and every single niche in humanity. Reverse engineering happens all of the time in automation, pharmaceutics, military applications, electronics, entertainment and even internet marketing.

Step Four ? Use other products as a BLUEPRINT for your own.

DISCLAIMER: This article is not recommending the stealing of other peoples copyrighted work. It is referencing the common practice of ?reverse engineering? which is the analysis of an existing product or technology and using that information as a catalyst in the development of your own UNIQUE product. Never, under any circumstances copy or duplicate other persons or entities copyrighted material in any form.

Once you understand your competitions product/solution, you now know what is required in terms of PRODUCT DESIGN AND SUBSTANCE. So DO IT.

Step Five ? Improve on your competitions concepts. Ask yourself these questions: Can I make a better product? Can I make a complimentary product and then parallel or supplement their market? This is actually very important because many affiliates build lists to pitch to and then only realize AFTER THE FACT that they don?t have any products to pitch other than that one. In this regard, complimentary and supplemental products are great because you can form JVs or Joint Ventures which is the contacting of list owners and asking them to be an affiliate for your product and that?s pretty much it.

Remember, this is a SUPER SIMPLE outline that explains how people really make money online. All of those big CLICKBANK snap shots are not of affiliates accounts, they (at least the ones that are real ? most are not ? most are completely fake) are of product owner accounts, product owners that have put their products on CLICKBANK and that have affiliates selling them or at least sending them leads.

Super Tip: Once you have your own product and it is and quality product and you know that it is a quality product, then the rest is easy. Just start a blog and start writing well-researched and informative articles about problems in that niche that pitch your product and that make the pitch targeting long-tail keywords. This way you can start grabbing a slice of the marketing using search engines and search engine marketing techniques regardless of the level and/or strength of competition. Just a tip?this is not an SEM post.

Final Word

Final word. This article is not meant to disprove the fact that you can make money as an affiliate marketer. You absolutely can. Additionally, there are people who have gotten rich as affiliate marketers. But know this. Affiliate marketing can actually be viewed as a form of slavery or servitude. And as with any form of slavery or servitude, the best way to keep the ?masses in check? and to keep ?riots from spawning? is to create a ?privileged class? that they can look up to and which keeps them distracted. Just keep that thought in the back of your mind.

Fishermen free tangled whale that went missing

This image provided April 17, 2012, by Capt. Dave?s Dolphin and Whale Safari shows a gray whale entangled in netting in the waters off the coast of Southern California April 17, 2012. Federal wildlife officials say that a whale tangled in a large fishing line that went missing during previous rescue attempts has been freed by a fisherman. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokesman Jim Milbury says that a crabbing boat's captain and crew spotted the gray whale in the ocean off Bodega Bay on Thursday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Crab fishermen working off the Northern California coast have managed to free a gray whale that was tangled in a large fishing line and that had disappeared after a previous rescue attempt, federal wildlife officials said.

Fisherman Mark Anello was out on his 48-foot wooden crab boat Thursday about 3? miles off the coast near Bodega Bay, located about 67 miles north of San Francisco.

A fourth-generation fisherman, Anello noticed something odd near his boat: three buoys floating nearby were moving. He motored closer to investigate.

Anello and two others on his boat the Point Ommaney found the orange and white buoys connected to a whale that measured close to the length of his vessel, said Tony Anello, Mark's father.

"They come up slowly alongside the whale, and the whale started fighting at first," the elder Anello said. "Then the whale decided to calm down."

Using 12-foot, bamboo poles with hooks on the end, Mark Anello and his crew spent 90 minutes freeing the 40-ton mammal, which had been nicknamed "June" by rescuers who had earlier tried to free the marine mammal.

Once the creature was free from the ropes, nets and buoys it took a lap around the vessel.

"The whale circled the boat, surfaced and took off," Tony Anello said. "It was like it was saying thank you."

The whale was first spotted off the Orange County coast April 17, hundreds of miles from where it was ultimately rescued, dragging several buoys attached to a net.

Rescuers attempted to free it at the time, but it went missing until it was spotted off the coast of Monterey County.

Monica DeAngelis, the federal marine mammal biologist who led earlier rescue attempts, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maintains a network of volunteer disentanglement teams trained to rescue animals in distress.

She said the captain and the crew that rescued June were not part of the network, and that in general she would advise anyone who encounters a tangled whale to report the animal's location and stay with it but wait for trained rescuers to arrive, not least because such a massive animal can be dangerous.

"They're actually quite fortunate that they did not get injured," DeAngelis said. Still, she called Anello a "steward of the sea": "I'm not going to rain on their parade. They did something amazing, and they probably did save the life of this animal."

Generally, tampering with whales qualifies as a federal offense under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. But DeAngelis said Anello and his crew were exempted under the law's "good Samaritan" clause.

Tony Anello echoed DeAngelis' fears, saying his son and crew could have been hurt by the large creature. But he also said while fishing gear was the cause of the whale's woe, many fishermen care deeply about the sea and a sustainable fishery.

"There are fishermen who care about the ocean," he said. "We are stewards of the ocean and want a sustainable fishery."

Faced with Breivik's unflinching account, Norway surprises world with its civility

To contact us Click HERE

A reporter covering Anders Behring Breivik's trial marvels at the degree of civility Norwegians have shown him, considering the brutality of the July 2011 terror attacks and his lack of remorse.

In the first two weeks of Anders Behring Breivik's trial, the Norwegian man reiterated his conviction that he did the right thing when he killed 77 people on July 22, 2011 ? even if it meant shooting unarmed Labor party youth members as young as 14 trapped on an island or bombing government buildings in Oslo. Those killed were??legitimate political targets,? he said.

Skip to next paragraph

The attacks were ?gruesome but necessary" for preventing Labor from continuing to undermine Norwegian society with its lenient immigration policies, Mr. Breivik said. The party had betrayed the country by promoting the Islamic colonization of Norway and ipso facto the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Norwegians. He would do it all again, he said.?

International onlookers have been shocked to see how civil the whole trial is proceeding, given the scale and brutality of his crimes ? together they are?the worst national tragedy the country has experienced since World War II ??and Breivik's lack of remorse.?

On April 16, the first day of the 10-week trial, a lineup of prosecutors, forensic psychiatrists, and the legal counsel for the victims all approached Breivik in court to shake his hand. Wearing a suit and neatly trimmed beard, he politely extended his right hand to greet them. Outside, people lined up orderly to enter Oslo District Court. There was not a single sign denouncing him, nor any banners calling for the death penalty.

On the second day of the trial, he was allowed to begin his six-day testimony of what happened in the years leading up to the attack, including his preparation for that day. At the end of the first week he recounted, in chilling detail, of how, after packing a ham and cheese sandwich that morning, he shot and killed 69 people at the Labor party youth summer camp on Ut?ya with a Glock pistol and Ruger semi-automatic rifle.

If this all sounds surreal, that?s because it is.?

It is surreal to see a well-dressed upper class man sit in a court and calmly explain how he killed Norwegians to prevent Norway?s demise. It?s incomprehensible to hear how a man, who supposedly had all the economic means and generous provisions of a cradle-to-grave welfare system, could turn into Norway?s most notorious killer in modern times. And that is part of what scares Norwegians: the thought that he is one of them.?

Despite the atrocity of his crimes and his behavior, Norwegians still want to see him get a fair trial. But that means?he has a legal right to explain himself in court, even if there is a risk that he spreads his propaganda. The trial is also key in determining Breivik's sanity, which is at the crux of this case. The prosecution even defended his right to keep reading from his prepared speech on his first day of testimony in spite of protests from the legal counsel for the victims, who were offended by his one-hour long monologue.?

Rare Met revival of Britten's shipboard opera

To contact us Click HERE

NEW YORK (AP) ? Absent from the Metropolitan Opera for 15 years, Benjamin Britten's great maritime tragedy "Billy Budd" has made a brief but welcome return in the season's closing days.

If the lead singers were a variable lot at Friday's premiere, the night was still a success because the real stars of the show ? the conductor, the chorus and the set ? all performed magnificently.

That set, designed by William Dudley for the 1978 John Dexter production, is a cutaway depiction against a black background of the H.M.S. Indomitable, a British gunship sailing toward battle with the French in 1797. When the action begins, we're on the main deck, but as scenes change, the ship seamlessly shifts and grows before our eyes, taking us down to the captain's cabin and the sailors' berths and even expanding to reveal seven levels at once.

In adapting Herman Melville's novella, Britten and his librettists ? E.M. Forster and Eric Crozier ? invented a prologue and epilogue in which Captain Vere, now an old man, reflects on the events of the story. In brief, a good-natured young foretopman, Billy Budd, is falsely accused by the master-at-arms, John Claggart, of fomenting mutiny. Tongue-tied, Billy strikes Claggart dead, and Vere ? despite his conviction that Billy is innocent ? feels he has no choice but to see him hanged.

The role of the captain (originally written for Britten's life partner, Peter Pears) was taken in this revival by tenor John Daszak in his Met debut. He sang with a bright, pungent tone and notably crisp diction, though his sound occasionally turned strident on high notes. Dramatically, he was persuasive both as an old man tormented by guilt and as an embattled captain facing an impossible choice.

Baritone Nathan Gunn performed the title role, looking the epitome of Melville's handsome sailor and acting with youthful vigor. He sang sweetly in quiet moments like "Billy in the Darbies," his haunting aria on the eve of execution, but much of the time one longed for a more powerful sound.

Bass James Morris has virtually owned the role of Claggart at the Met, but his voice has lost strength, especially at the low end. He etched a subdued portrait of a corrupt soul who cannot tolerate the presence of unalloyed goodness in the world.

There were many strong contributions from the all-male cast, starting with the chorus, whose role in this opera is vital. The fine trio of officers consisted of baritone Dwayne Croft ? a former Billy himself ? and bass-baritones Kyle Ketelson and the debuting Ryan McKinny. Tenor Keith Jameson was impressive as the Novice, the weak-willed sailor who does Claggart's dirty work.

David Robertson, making a too-infrequent appearance, conducted the Met orchestra in an energetic and moving performance of Britten's score, which is filled with surging melodic themes amid its spiky dissonances.

HBT: O's 1B takes mound, tops Red Sox in 17

To contact us Click HERE

It wasn?t pretty, but in many ways, Chris Davis had the most remarkable day on a baseball field that I can ever remember.

Starting at DH, Davis fanned in his first five at-bats, hit into a double play into his sixth and grounded out in his seventh before moving to the mound to pitch the 16th and 17th innings and picking up a win in a 9-6 game against the Red Sox.

Davis very nearly took the loss in the 16th, but Marlon Byrd was gunned down at home plate on Mike Aviles? double with two outs. The Red Sox then turned to a position player of their own in the 17th, and Darnell McDonald gave up a three-run homer to Adam Jones, giving the Orioles a 9-6 lead.

After Jones? homer, Davis grounded out, making him 0-for-8 on the day.

The bottom of the 17th started with an infield single off Davis? glove and a Dustin Pedroia walk, but Adrian Gonzalez struck out on three pitches to put a cap on his own 0-for-8 day and McDonald grounded into a double play to end it.

Davis became the first position player to win a game since Philadelphia?s Wilson Valdez got a victory in the 19th inning of a game last May 25. Before that, the last to do it was Rockies catcher Brent Mayne in 2000.

Davis?started his outing showing a 90-91 mph fastball, but he quickly faded into the mid-80s in the 17th. Of course, it still worked out for him. McDonald was sitting in the 81-83 mph range in his inning of work.

Despite having three opportunities, Davis managed to avoid picking up his sixth strikeout. He could have been just the eighth player to reach that mark (dating back to 1918) and the first since Milwaukee?s Geoff Jenkins in 2004.

Nivac ? MMGY Global Reports Encouraging Signs For Year Ahead

To contact us Click HERE

Despite concerns with the economy there are genuine sources of optimism for the travel industry. The most recent May MMGY Global/US Travel Association travelhorizons survey, reports that money available for travel experienced a gain of 20 percent and affordability of travel rose eight percent.

This suggests that consumers are increasingly more positive about their ability to afford travel adding up to good news for agents, suppliers and destinations.

The survey estimates that 56 percent of US adults intend to take at least one leisure trip through July 2012.

However, the latest affordability of travel index of 102.6 still remains well below its July 2009 peak of 124.0, when travel suppliers ramped up discounts and special offers to counteract the impact of the Great Recession, Peter Yesawich of MMGY Global reports.?? While these substantial gains would normally be touted as the start of a turnaround from the challenges through which the industry has passed the previous two years, comparisons with February 2011 reveal that the new TSI is still two points below the level of 95.2 observed one year ago signaling that US adults attitudes toward travel remain essentially unchanged, the survey cautions.??

The overall US Traveler Sentiment Index (TSI) soared 10 percent in February 2012 as perceptions of travel across all six factors from which the index is derived exhibited substantial improvement from last quarter. According to the most recent travelhorizons survey, the overall TSI now stands at 93.6, up from 85.0 in October 2011.

Leisure travel intentions have, similarly, changed little during the past 12 months. According to the travelhorizons survey, 56 percent of US adults intend to take at least one trip primarily for leisure purposes between February and July 2012.

One quarter of all adults, or 59 million, are not planning to travel for leisure purposes during the next six months. The remaining 44 million adults, however, have yet to decide whether or not to take a leisure trip, the survey reports.?? This statistic represents a significant market opportunity for destinations and other travel service suppliers to convert this latent demand, and indicates that aggressive marketers will likely be rewarded for their proactive business development efforts, the survey reports.
