On a Mission

I need an eye-catching, creative, easy-to-remember business name for my gift shop which will launch shortly. It is an online only business. I will be selling all sorts of products- from home decor items (vases/candles/figurines/glass), to around the world items (African style, Far East Treasure), including Myth & Legend items (fairies, skulls, swords, and dragons) and much more. I will be selecting a different charity every quarter to donate a portion of my profit to. Please leave your suggestions! Thank you!

These are a few of my categories:

Dragons

Fairies

Stepping Stones

Holiday Specials

Accent Tables

Chess Sets

African Savannah

Wildlife Wonder

Specialty Candles

Does anyone know Zen Cart well enough to put in a layout? I actually need to figure out shipping and taxing as well - I'm trying to launch the site into a workable buyer's market to sell some products. Oh- and I really could do without the repeat categories at the top. Thanks!

I'm looking to create an online store to hold somewhere between 2500-3000 products. Bottom line, I need a user-friendly, easy-to-change website where I can add promotions, ship easily to the customer, separate sales tax and receive money directly into my account. The company I get my product from wants to charge me about $1500 for 500 products, $3000 for 1000 products, and upwards of $5000 for unlimited products plus a $30/mo web hosting fee. Any thoughts?

(or just a regular jacket / jersey / shirt pertaining to their team)

So here's the deal: I have good credit and just got hired for a job (but haven't started working yet), my friend works 30-40 hours a week but has bad credit. Is there any way for them to get a loan? Or can they get a loan by themselves?

Alright so this is driving me CrAzY!! The synopsis is a little bit like the newer movie "Brothers" but I know its a few years old. There are two soldiers, best friends, one's name is Danny- The helicopter crashes and Danny is feared and reported dead. So his best friend takes over taking care of his girlfriend who is pregnant with Danny's son. She ultimately finds out he is a alive and he fights with his best friend. He then finds himself back at war saving his friend's life and the girlfriend's son is named Danny because he saved him and died. Does anyone know this movie?? It's the best way I can explain it!!

I need about $5000 and I have a good credit score - the problem being that I need the loan within a few days. What are some banks that offer good rates? Thanks!

I donated double red cells yesterday around noon and my heart rate has been up since then.

Has anyone heard of the website http://googlepaid.me/ ? Does it really work? I'm looking for some feedback from some real people who have actually tried this. I do not want a sales pitch. Please and thank you for your feedback.

or what would you pay $1000 to $5000 for?

I've seen them advertised on t.v. and kids are able to use them on paper, but as soon as they draw off the paper, it doesn't show up - for instance, if they were drawing on the bed, it wouldn't show?

I'm looking for an existing business that rents out shelf space - good location - I'm selling candles, wind-chimes, jewelry, lanterns, and art. Any help greatly appreciated! That or if there is another way to sell some items effectively (other than ebay - trying to avoid fees) please let me know. I want this product line to be noticeable and catch on quickly.

Rochester, NY - I need to know where to apply for a tax I.D. and how to proceed with setting up a legal small business - I already have a supplier. Any help greatly appreciated!

In this economy, should I go to college for a career that I would be passionate for or for a career where I would make money? I wanted to go into interior design, or a component of that, but that doesn't seem like a smart choice right now. I don't know how to proceed. And how should I make money in the meantime? I work at security company making $11 an hour full time, which is OK, but not what I ultimately want to stay at.

I'm thinking about starting a small business to get some extra income on the side while going back to college. I already have a full time job, but I want to trim that down to 24-32 hours a week instead. What type of business would you like to see out on the market?

I'm really out of shape and I'm looking for some self-discipline to help me both physically and mentally. I don't know much about the different types and I was looking for some insight. Any help greatly appreciated. I live in Rochester, NY if someone knows (or attends) a respectable place.

Also, what kind of schedule would I be looking at? Prices?

Any good freeware programs? It doesn't have to be freeware, but are there any programs to help me pinpoint the problem and take care of it? My computer is running so slow. I know how to start over, but I was hoping to avoid it. Anyone know how to use Hijack This and tell me what it means?

... animal, plant, design, picture, art?

Here's the deal: my family has a lot of cats and some of them don't clean up after themselves. I'm looking for a clean, natural, cost effective, virtually dust free, and odor controlled litter. Ideas? Please be serious.
