Attorney Fees - Part 1 - Legal Fees and Fee Agreement

2008-06-16T04:41:00.001-07:00

By Steve Dimeck This is Part 1 of this 4-part article. Please refer to the other 3 parts to read this article in full. Understanding the attorney fees would help you control your finances a whole lot better and help you make better financial decisions when working with your lawyer. The attorney fees could get substantial, and if you don't fully understand them your bank account would very soon. Before you enter into a legal agreement with your chosen attorney, it would be in your best interest to have an understanding of the attorney fees so you can build a strong client-attorney working relationship with your lawyer without any financial disputes, which on the other hand would help your lawyer fully focus on your case. Provided here are overviews of attorney fees that you may expect when hiring a lawyer. But this is just to inform you. Always clearly communicate with your attorney the legal fees that apply to your case and don't stop asking your attorney until you gain a full understanding of the legal costs that you will be responsible for. Legal Fees Some attorneys who enjoy higher reputation may charge more than the ones who don't. But, those well-reputed lawyers may get the work done faster. The keyword here is "may." That's because lawyers consider several factors when setting their fees. It depends on how complicated your case is and the amount of time it will take to resolve the matter. Even though the trial itself may not take that long, researching the law, gathering the facts, interviewing witnesses, preparing all the needed documentation and arguments for the trial may take days, weeks and even months. In some cases unexpected developments may take place that will complicate your situation even further, which would result in higher fees. You need to feel comfortable when discussing fees with your lawyer. Actually, you and your lawyer can negotiate almost any type of fee agreement. Besides the fee that you may pay for your first meeting, your lawyer could offer you a fixed, hourly, retainer, contingency, or a statutory fee. In addition to that, the same lawyer might charge more for the time spent in the courtroom than for hours spent in the office or library. But, you can agree to any one or a combination of these fees. The most common billing method is to charge a set amount for each hour of time the lawyer works on your case. What will work for you is what you need to discuss with your attorney and find a medium that will work for both of you. Don't forget that your main goal is winning your case. The fees need not to spin you out of focus that may result in losing your case. On the other hand, if one attorney is not willing to meet you half way in regards to your ability in making the payment, consider talking to another attorney. Fee Agreement You need to get your fee agreement in writing. By law, contingency fees and non-contingency fees anticipated to be $1,000 or more must be in writing. But, it's best to get any fee arrangement in writing no matter the amount because it provides a written record. This way, both you and your lawyer will know what to expect from each other as you work together on your case. Also, it steers clear from any confusion and misunderstanding that may affect your outcome. Try to avoid making oral agreements. But if you do make one with your lawyer, make a written note of it. Your fee agreement needs to include what services are and aren't covered under that agreement as well as the type and amount of fees you will be expected to pay. Also, the agreement might spell out your obligations as a client, as well as how the court fees and miscellaneous expenses will be handled. It could explain the attorney's billing practices and state whether the lawyer is going to add interest or other charges to unpaid amounts. The lawyer may have a pre-printed fee agreement for you to sign. However, nothing is set in stone. You can always ask the lawyer to change parts of the agreement or make up a new one especially for your situation. If you're not sure what to ask your lawyer regarding your fee agreement, feel free to bring some one with you at your initial meeting to help you out. Do not sign the agreement if you don't fully understand it. Also, do not sign it if something you have requested is not included or vice versa. You need to read it and fully understand it. Once you sign it, you fully agree to it. That's important because if you have agreed to (signed) something that you "didn't really agree" (as a result of not reading the agreement), or didn't want, or didn't fully understand, legal fees can add up very fast and cost you an arm and a leg. When you get your bill, it's too late. Every story that you can read about people complaining against their attorneys regarding fees, it's because the client signed up to something that they didn't fully understand. Or, they've made oral agreements with no record. Fee Arrangements - covered in Part 2 of this article.

Remove Crabgrass Once and For All and Forever

2008-06-12T03:57:00.001-07:00

By Jason Zvokel Has crabgrass taken over your lawn? Are you envious of your neighbor's sod, but don't want the expense? There is good news about crabgrass - it is an annual weed, meaning that it dies off at the end of the summer. Crabgrass grows during the hot and dry months of the summer and it has a shallow root system, which makes it easy to pull out. How does that help you now? At this point of the year (September and early October), using an herbicide to kill it would be ill advised. Yes it will destroy the crabgrass that is there; however, it is going to die off anyway. If there is only a small amount, then you can manually pull it out of the ground. The key is prevention. A thick and healthy lawn is your best defense against this dastardly weed. Reseed your lawn now - September is one of the best times to reseed because this is the time of year when grass naturally grows the best. By reseeding you are not only making you lawn look nicer, you are creating competition for next year's crabgrass. Reseeding is a four step procedure. First you must mow the existing lawn to an even height (in this case, the lower, the better). Next you spread lime over the soon-to-be seeded area followed by fertilizer (if this is your first time fertilizing, use a starter fertilizer; otherwise, use a less expensive organic fertilizer in a well established lawn). Finally you then distribute a fair amount of grass seed (its up to you to pick the kind that's best for you). Mowing and spreading can be done all in one day, but it must be sequentially. Mowing enables the products to get to the earth, lime and fertilizer feed the soil, and the seed sits on top until germination. After you finish spreading the seed, you must water and keep the soil moist! This is a critically important step that cannot be overemphasized. For the first 7-10 days water twice a day for 15 minutes each time. This will keep the moisture near the top of the ground where the seeds are. After about 10 days the seed will germinate and you will see new grass. Once you start seeing new grass growing begin watering longer, but less frequently (i.e. 30 minutes twice a week). This will allow water to penetrate deeper into the soil and bring the grass's roots with it. About 10 days after germination you can begin mowing again as usual. To maintain the health of your new lawn, refertilize with an organic fertilizer in about 6 weeks. Next year you will have a thicker, healthier, and greener lawn. Now that you have this foundation, keep it going by pulling the crabgrass as it comes up during the season (there will be less of it because there is less room for it to grow) and repeat this same procedure next September! Jason Zvokel is a new homeowner that takes pride in his 1/3 of an acre Long Island lawn. He wanted a naturally healthy lawn that his family could play on without worrying about pesticides. Jason found the answers and methods he needed by interviewing those who own and run local nurseries.

Aromatherapy - Part II: Mind and Emotions

2008-06-07T20:24:00.001-07:00

By Danny Siegenthaler The Sense of Smell forms the greater part of our Sense of Taste (note how your sense of taste and smell is affected when you have a head cold or blocked up nose. The sense of smell is also affected by pollution, smoking, trauma to the nose itself and a mucous forming diet). The sense of smell of our ancient ancestors was far superior to ours. They identified one another by smell as well as sight, and could even detect the usefulness of a plant by its smell. They also tracked animals by smell.
The sense of smell helps us to distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' odours, which tell us if food is fit to be eaten or if there is disease or hygiene present. ODOURS & DISEASE A couple of hundred years ago, physicians would use the sense of smell as a diagnostic aid. Arthritis and rheumatism have an acid smell, a good midwife could tell a post-partum haemorrhage by the smell of blood passed, diabetes gives an acetone smell to the breathe and the urine, perspiration can give us clues as to the health of the kidneys and lymphatic system, the smell of faeces also can tell us the type of disease in the digestive tract. Natural medicine still uses this method of diagnosis. The human nose has the ability to distinguish many thousands of different odours, and the memory of these odours is stored deep in our sub-conscious minds. (See R. Tisserand 'The Art of Aromatherapy" pages 60-73). When we inhale air molecules which, are carrying the odoriferous molecules of an essential oil, these molecules adhere to our Olfactory nerve endings in the back of the nose, producing stimulation of these nerve endings. Sensory stimulation of the Olfactory centre is by a relay of nerve impulses from the sensory nerve endings in the nose to the brain. This is a very rapid and direct pathway to the part of the Brain which directs, controls, interprets and responds to sensory input. This pathway is very different to sensory stimulation of the sensory nerves in the skin which is more complex, being transmitted from a sensory nerve ending to the spinal cord, to the brain, back down the spinal cord, down a motor nerve ending and then to the appropriate organ. For example when we touch a hot object, the heat affects the sensory nerve ending in say the finger. This nerve relays a message along the sensory nerve fibre to its root in the spinal cord. The impulse is carried to the brain. The brain says ouch !!! thats hot, take the finger off now. This message is relayed down the spinal cord to the motor nerve root, and then to the appropriate muscle(s) organ(s) etc. to remove the finger from the hot object. As you will know from your own experience of touching something hot, there is often a time lag between touching the hot object and recognition of pain. With the Olfactory Nerve there is no relay station - stimuli goes straight to the part of Central Nervous System called the LIMBIC SYSTEM, and the response is instant. Furthermore, the message cannot be blocked by the conscious mind. The interesting and exciting aspect of this use of Essential Oil Therapy is that different essential oils produce different responses. Some affect the higher thought processes in the Cerebral Cortex by altering the electrical activity of different Cortical areas, and some affect the Hormone Producing cells in the Limbic System. These Brain Hormones will then either effect the mental and emotional responses of the Brain itself, or will be released into the blood stream from where they may be carried to distant organs to produce the desired effect on the body chemistry.

How to Remove Hard Water Stains

2008-06-03T16:54:00.001-07:00

By Brenda H. Murphy If you happen to live in a location where there is a high level of lime, magnesium and calcium in your water supply, then you have what is referred to as hard water. And chances are that somewhere in your home, whether it is around a leaking tap, or in the tub where the water drips down the end, you have hard water stains. How you remove these stains, depends on where they are. Phosphoric acid is the base of most cleaners, and even average household bathroom cleaners will have about 6% of this in the content. That may not be enough for stubborn stains or build up, however. When you prefer not to use chemicals, you can first try soaking the area with white vinegar, and letting it set for half an hour. That should penetrate the residue enough that it can then be scrubbed or scraped off. If it doesn't, you may need a cream cleaner if you have stains on acrylic surfaces, or a vitreous enamel cleaner for things like the toilet, sink or tub. If the build-up is on the metal surface of the tap or mountings, you can try scraping it with a razor blade after it has softened, but be careful of cutting yourself, and scratching the fixtures. Bleach can remove some stains, such as in the toilet, but should not be left there for long periods of time, as it can affect the shine of your enamel. Truly stubborn stains may need a commercial cleaner. However, if you have been trying other solutions first, be sure to rinse them away thoroughly, so there are no potentially harmful interactions between chemicals when you apply another cleaner.

Wrinkles and Liver Spots are Signs of Aging, Mature Skin

2008-05-30T04:49:00.001-07:00

By Danny Siegenthaler Wrinkles Gravity is the skins worst enemy. Weakening of collagen and elastin fibres causes reduced firmness of the skin, gravity pulls at the skin and causes it to sag, this in combination with a reduction in the fatty padding of the skin inevitably causes wrinkling of the skin tissue. Can Wrinkles Be Avoided? Environmental factors such as over exposure to the sun, smog, cigarette smoke can all have an adverse effect on your skin. In addition, you may also have inherited weaknesses from your parents that can cause premature aging of the skin. Despite these challenges, there are simple steps you can take to prevent wrinkles and remember - the earlier you start, the better! Wear Sunscreen, Always wear a hat with a wide brim when going outside remember, just because theres clouds does not mean theres no UV, Dont sunbathe, and Where possible, stay out of the sun between 10am to 3pm. As we progress through our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, our skin requires an appropriate skin care regime to maintain, as well as repair, the skin. The older you are when you start to protect and care for your skin, the less effective it will be, however, it is never too late to start. Treatments for Aging Skin There are a multitude of drugs, chemicals and procedures on the market these days, promising you that you can have the face of a baby in your 90s. We all know where to put that However, there are many natural and totally safe methods of treating aging skin and preventing premature signs of aging and Im not just referring to your facial skin, although this is the most visible and therefore the most important to many people. Using a natural skin care regime should apply to your entire body and not just to your face. Regularly use a clay mask to nourish your skin and remove impurities, cleanse your skin, tone it and last but not least moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Do not use commercially available soaps unless absolutely necessary these soaps remove the protective acid mantle of your skin and dry it out. Instead, use an exfoliant followed by a cleanser to clean your skin and leave it smooth, invigorated and with its protective acid mantel in tact. Follow this by using a toner. Toners close open pores to prevent loss of moisture, resulting in firmer skin. The last step is to use a moisturiser. Moisturisers help to hydrate your skin, prevent loss of moisture and provide nourishment and nutrients for your skin to use in fulfilling its many functions. Liver spots or age spots Aging skin often develops unsightly blemishes, commonly called liver spots, which can appear on the face, neck and on the back of the hands. They are caused by the sun and accumulation of lipofuscin (pigments and/or wastes) that is derived from free radical damage of skin cells. Liver spots, also known as lentigines or lentigos, are sharply defined, rounded, brown or black, flat patches of skin. The epidermis (top surface layer) is expanding with more pigment, developing what looks like a large freckle. They may appear as a single spot or in clusters. Remember that your skin is an eliminatory organ and therefore it eliminates toxins from your body one reason for liver spots is that the eliminatory organs (Kidneys, Liver and Bowels) are not working as well as they should and therefore the skin takes up the slack. Removal of these impurities can be achieved using the above described skin care regime. In addition, when showering, use a Lufa or other type of skin brush on your bodys skin. This will not only remove dead skin cells, but promote blood circulation to the skin which in turn provides the skin with nutrients carried in the blood. Green Tea is a fantastic anti-oxidant and should be consumed regularly. Leafy green vegetables, fish such as salmon and tuna, nuts and fruits contain essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to nourish your organs and help them perform their vital functions adequately. It is vitally important that you not only have a good skin care regime, but you should also have a good health regime, which includes a good diet, 8 -10 glasses of water per day and a regular exercise programme. This is very important and cannot be underestimated in its positive results on keeping you looking and feeling younger for longer.

Tips For Developing An Effective Questionnaire

2008-05-23T22:59:00.001-07:00

By Nick Hill Developing the questionnaire is undoubtedly the most important part of conducting a survey. The quality of the questions will determine the quality of the results and the effectiveness of your survey. Here are 12 tips for developing an effective questionnaire. 1. Write a good introduction - The beginning of your survey should have an introduction of the survey. It should state your objective in a way that grabs the attention of potential respondents and encourages them to take the survey. Also, since it is easy for online survey respondents to abandon your survey, you should include instructions on how to complete the survey and an estimate of how much time it will take. 2. Ask questions that provide the information you need - Always keep your objective and the information that you need to gather to achieve it in mind while asking the questions. Also, it is best to avoid the temptation to gather "extra" bits of information that are "nice to know" but irrelevant to your objective. 3. Ask important questions first, demographic questions last - Since it is very easy for online survey respondents to abandon your survey, always ask the important questions first and the demograhic questions last. 4. Organize the questions in logical groups - Always organize the questions in logical groups. It makes it easier for your respondents to understand and answer the questions, thus increasing the quality of the results. 5. Use plain, easy to understand language - The most effective surveys always use plain, easy to understand language. Using unclear or ambiguous language will give you misleading results. So test your survey thoroughly to ensure that it is indeed easy to understand. 6. Avoid technical terms, jargon, and acronyms - If you use technical terms, jargon, and acronyms, your respondents might not understand them, get frustrated, and abandon your survey. So strictly avoid them. 7. Use even number of responses - Whenever possible, use even number of responses for multiple choice questions. That way the respondents have to give a positive or a negative opinion, they can't give a "neutral" answer. 8. Randomize the responses - Whenever it makes sense, randomize the order in which responses are displayed. This removes "order bias" from the responses. 9. Avoid unnecessary graphics and embedded components - Although it might be tempting to use graphics and embedded components, their use increases the time it takes to download and display your survey. So use them only when it is absolutely necessary and certainly don't overdo it. 10. Be sensitive to the feelings of your respondents - Always be sensitive to the feelings of your respondents. If you offend them, they might abandon your survey. So test your survey to ensure that it is not offending to any group of people. 11. Thank the respondents - Your respondents spend the time to take your survey. So never forget to thank them for completing the survey. 12. Keep it short - As a general rule, keep your survey short, simple, and to the point.

The Atkins Diet and Menopause

2008-05-21T00:37:00.001-07:00

By Mark Wild The Atkins diet does not use stimulants to achieve weight loss and it is not intended to actually boost energy levels although some people do notice these effects. Actually, the Atkins diet should tend to stabilize energy levels and eliminate those peaks and valleys we all experience throughout the day. But doesnt it seem like diet fads come and go with the changing of the seasons? Every other year some new craze starts up promising to slash pounds in weeks or your money backguaranteed! And in truth, most of these products can indeed deliver upon the promise of shedding pounds in a few weekspounds of water weight!! Many appetite suppressants literally cause dehydration and have stimulants in them that cause people to sweat the pounds off. The true fat weight that is loss is only due to the fact that the person was so hopped up on stimulants that they ran around doing twice as much work with half the efficiency. Energy spikes and dips can be caused by two problems that are eliminated by the Atkins diet: caffeine (or other stimulants) and insulin spikes. The Atkins diet does not allow for caffeine consumption and it is actually dangerousboth the diet and caffeine are diuretics and thus lead to dehydration. The body will experience a drop in energy levels for the first few days when you brave the world without caffeine. However, as the body adjusts and ketosis kicks in, your energy levels should rise and then stabilize. The stabilization of energy is achieved on the Atkins diet because it restricts process carbohydrates and sugars known to cause sudden spikes in the blood sugar levels. The body adjusts by increasing insulin levelsso, there is the ride up when the blood sugar spikes, and then the ride down when the body finally compensates with enough insulin. By the time ketosis is achieved, the energy levels should stabilize and remain consistent throughout the day. For those that were on a low-fat diet prior to starting the Atkins program, there may be a noticeable energy increaseespecially in the beginning. A low-fat diet relies mainly upon food intake for all energy and therefore does not burn fat stores as readily as someone on the Atkins diet. Therefore, in between meals, your body can literally run out of steam because it has run out of ready-to-use energy. When a person transfers over from a low-fat diet, they tend to experience a noticeable elevation of overall energy that finally stabilizes at some point soon after Induction. The Atkins diet can have some extremely beneficial effects upon a persons overall energy level. Instead of enduring the spikes and sudden drops in energy level experienced by those consuming high levels of processed carbs, those on the Atkins diet have a consistent energy level once ketosis has been achieved. This energy level should not fluctuate greatly so long as the person remains true to the Atkins diet and does not reintroduce refined carbohydrates or sugars into their diet. Note: The Author is not a doctor. Please consult a doctor before starting any new diet plan. - - - - - - - - - -

Unsecured Loans-Fast Disbursement, Flexible Uses

2008-05-18T19:50:00.001-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Amanda_Pane]Amanda Pane Unsecured loans, most of us know, dont require collateral to be furnished. They are a total contrast to secured loans that require you to use your home or any other property as collateral. Secured loans, thus, pose a great risk to the borrower for he may lose his collateral in case he fails to pay back the loan. Unsecured loans, on the other hand, are no-risk loan products for the consumer. Their disbursal too is fast and smooth as there is no collateral to be assesses and minimum paperwork. Unsecured loans can be borrowed by people with adverse credit history (an adverse credit record indicates that you may have missed payments, defaults, arrears, county court judgements, and bankruptcy against your name) also. Unsecured loans can be used for a variety of reasons. You can use them for: Improving the looks of your house Consolidating all your debts Purchasing a car Meeting your medical expenses Wedding expenditures Credit record improvement and Holiday expenses Like some other loan products, unsecured loans too have some negative aspects. For example, lack of collateral makes these loans dearer than secured loans. The interest rates are high and the repayment term is short, thereby taking up the monthly instalments.

How to Talk to a Woman

2008-05-12T21:08:00.001-07:00

By Caterina Christakos Taking a girl out on a date already says a lot. But this whole business is not just about seducing someone. You must gain the confidence and trust of the person sitting at the other end of the table. More than that, you must make her feel good in your presence and even want more. How to do this? Simple! When you're not flirting with her just let her take control for a while. Always keep in mind that women's favorite subject is themselves. This little "bug" in their software gives men a big advantage in a conversation and that is curiosity. Yet, only few use it because of the misconceptions surrounding curiosity in general. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but when a conversation between a man and a woman is concerned, I don't think it ever hurt anyone. What I'm trying to say is that if she says something that makes you curious... just ask her! This will tell her that you are interested in her person. Nevertheless, watch out for those not so discreet questions that could turn you into a cat and get you killed. Another thing most men forget is that women, even the prettiest, disregard themselves. If you discovered something about her that you really like make sure she can feel your admiration. This rule applies to anything from the color of her eyes to the way she back-parked her car for example. Still, try to use original ways to make compliments and remember that you'll receive the most "points" for cherishing her intelligence. Always listen to her when she talks! Sounds too obvious? Maybe, but the key thing is that it counts less if you've been really listening to her as long as she thinks you weren't. Therefore you can use several tricks like saying confirmation phrases ("I see", "yes" etc.) showing that you're following her. Just dont do it so much that she mistakes you for her shrink. Re-telling what she just said is another useful skill as long as you don't abuse it. You simply rephrase what she said and she'll know you got the point. Nevertheless it can be very annoying if you overuse it. And, as I mentioned earlier, when she makes you curious about something just ask her! This proves you were listening in the first place. The same happens when you make a compliment based on something she just said. But curiosity can also be used whenever you run out of topics in a conversation. Every woman is curious by nature so all you have to do is to stir her curiosity and forget all about you running out of interesting subjects or her getting bored. Caterina Christakos is a published author and dating coach.

So, You Want To Be A Teacher?

2008-05-04T16:25:00.001-07:00

By Luis Valentino Throughout history, teaching has been considered a noble profession, where the transformation of students is not an abstract concept, but an attainable goal. And while American education is being challenged by society to prove the merits of its existence, it is truly the last bastion for students. It is through formal schooling where they acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to become successful contributing members of that same, critical society. For those of you who make the choice to become teachers, across all levels, it will be the hardest job youll ever love. Let me quickly say, however, that it is also the most rewarding experience you will ever have. As you prepare to embark on this journey, it will be important that you have a number of things clear in your mind, or that you have at least spent time thinking about them. The following are a few points to consider before deciding whether this noble profession is for you: Intent. Why are you choosing teaching as a career option? Was it a life-long goal of yours, or did the decision come only after other opportunities failed to materialize, and you need a job? Is your intention based on personal experience? Expectation. What expectations do you have of yourself? Do you believe that you can perform this job well? Why? Are you out to change the world, or just your little corner of it? What expectations do you have of the profession? Do you have a real sense of what teaching entails? Commitment. How much are you willing to give to the students, the school, the community, etc.? If you are going to teach, you must have 100% commitment. Any less would not be fair to the students you have been entrusted to serve. Are you ready for such a commitment? Hope. What do you hope to contribute? How will the knowledge and skills you bring to education support your efforts? How will the profession be in a better place because of you? Understanding these points, and finding answers to their questions, will help you get you on the path. Once you have begun your journey in education, many other questions, and issues, will inevitably emerge. In fact, many of the questions and issues you will grapple with will keep you up nights. Teaching is not a job it is way of life. It has a historical context dating back to ancient Greece, thereby providing its own language, rituals, culture, rules, and temperament. Enjoy the experience. And while you are out there having fun with your students, take a moment to remind yourself that you are making a difference in their lives. 2006 Dr. Luis R. Valentino Luis Valentino, Ed.D. is a school administrator in Los Angeles, and a university instructor. Dr. Valentino serves as a mentor for both aspiring and experienced teachers and administrators.

Relationship Advice: A Map for Your Marriage

2008-05-02T04:36:00.000-07:00

By Jeff Herring Have you ever been lost? My favorite line about being lost comes from an old "M*A*S*H" episode where Hawkeye says, "We're not lost. I've been lost before, and this is not what it looks like." We all know the drill - you thought you knew where you were going, so you didn't bring a map, and you found yourself so hopelessly turned around that you had no idea where to go next. Ever feel that way in your relationship? To Plan or Not to Plan Consider with me the last vacation you were able to take. Think back to all the planning that was involved, things such as where to go, what to take with you, notifying people you would be gone and even consulting a map on how to get there. Quite a bit of preparation, conscious thought and planning goes into a successful vacation. Now, consider this: How much planning and conscious thought has gone into your marriage? It's truly amazing how some folks will spend more time planning a two-week vacation than they do planning how they would like their marriage relationship to be. Most of us seem to stumble into relationships and marriage and then continue to kind of make it up as we go along. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to create a map to guide us on our journey through marriage? Creating a relationship map Actually, there are several different ways. One of the simplest, and yet most profound, is through modeling. When you want to do something that you have never done before, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You simply find someone who has done or is doing what you want to do, discover what they have done or do, and do it as well. This idea of modeling works so well because success leaves a trail that can be followed. In terms of marriage, look around your own world for the couples who have the strongest and most enjoyable marriages. That doesn't mean they don't have their share of struggles. It just means they have found a way to manage them in a way that strengthens their marriage. So how do you find out what their map has been to get them to where they are? Simple - just ask! While it may seem awkward at first, most folks are honored to be asked and very willing to help. Here are some questions to ask successful couples about how to build your own relationship map. Start with general questions and then get more specific: What do you think has made your marriage so successful? What are the top five things that go into a healthy relationship? What do you have to believe about your spouse to keep your marriage strong? How do you handle small conflicts? How do you handle larger conflicts? How do you come to agreement about your finances? How do you come to agreement on how to handle the children? How do you divide domestic chores? What do you do on a daily basis to keep the spark alive? What has been your biggest challenge as a married couple? How did you handle it? Do you keep the toilet seat up or down? These are just a sampling of the many questions you can ask successful couples. You can come up with your own or even better questions to help you create your own map. The most important factor is to simply ask and then put into action what you discover. Jeff Herring is a Relationship Coach, Speaker, and Syndicated Relationship Columnist.

A Bintel Brief

2008-04-29T06:42:00.001-07:00

By Shael Siegel Recently an open letter from a young rabbinical student appeared in the Jewish Press. Without the endorsement at the end of this open letter it could easily have been mistaken for A Bintel Brief published in the Jewish Forward in the 1920s. (The Bintel Brief, in the format of questions and answers, was a weekly column appearing in the Yiddish Forward, depicting the struggles and tribulations of the Jewish immigrants on the lower east side of Manhattan). The note at the end of the article stated the following: Endorsed by these Gedolei Hatorah( Torah Sages): Moshe Wolfson, Yaakov Perlow, Aryeh Kutler and Yechezchel Ratah. The text of the letter is disturbing considering that it was not written in the 1920s but at the end of 2006, not by an Eastern European immigrant, but by an American youth. Due to his fathers chronic illness and lack of money the anonymous yeshiva (rabbinical student) student is literally begging the public for money in order to raise the necessary funds to get married. In his open letter he claims desperation and the lack of other options He continues to write in his letter that raising sufficient money for the wedding will be able comforting for his sick father: I hope that when I tell my dear father of this, his stress of the financial burden will decrease in intensity... He concludes his letter with Please rush your tax deductible contribution to... There are three things which are quite striking about this letter. An apparently healthy young man in an educational setting is begging when he can be working. His need to beg, not for essentials, such as food or medicine, but for the non--essential and optional wedding, which could have been postponed to a more fortuitous time. The knowledge or assumption that his father would be relieved that his son raised the money for the wedding by begging brought the student a modicum of comfort. What is most revealing in his letter is his attitude towards living a productive life. There is a disturbing sense of entitlement, apparently because he sees himself as a yeshiva student and thus in the European tradition is entitled to praise and financial support. I seem to recollect hat when I was a yeshiva student with little means of financial support, I as well as many others found supplemental income by working as teachers in the classroom, tutors of Hebrew studies, math, English or bar mitzvah lessons. There were those amongst us who served in paid positions of Torah readers, or sextons and there were those of us who worked in the slaughter houses doing work that converted some of us into life long vegetarians. No one I knew in those years pan handled or appealed to the public via the Jewish press. Rather then judge the young man for his behavior it behooves us to consider the system and its values and environment within which he was raised. Coincidental to his troubling letter, an article appeared in the same newspaper written by an educator, Avraham Birnbaum entitled A Few Words About Limudei Chol (secular studies). In this article he argues that secular studies are undervalued by the yeshiva system and the parent body: the dearth of knowledge that our children come out with after eight yearsis disheartening While he ponders the problem of why this is, Birnbaum, in a very cavalier fashion writes of course we attach far less importance to limudei chol than we do to limudei chodesh (religious studies). This is the way it should belimudei chodesh and limudei hatorah are the only things that ultimately count... Birnbaum is obviously conflicted because he nevertheless laments the fact that an eighth grade yeshiva student cannot write a coherent sentence in English. But why should he be expected to? What can be expected of students if teachers such as Birnbaum can comfort a parent upset that his son does not know basic math by telling them dont worry that in 120 years they will ask your son if he knows Bava Kama not trigonometry. This pervasive attitude reflecting a chronic problem in the ultra orthodox community is what created the problems for the anonymous letter writer. At the turn of the twentieth century, when thousands of eastern European Jews immigrated to the United States it is understandable that they would have need to write to the Jewish Forwards A Bintel Brief for advice and help. They had little education, scant knowledge of the English language and little understanding of our culture. With all their hardships, few resorted to begging, many opted to make an honest living by hard work in the infamous sweat shops. It is hard to imagine that a healthy, intelligent young man today would have to resort to begging. Like his ancestors he obviously has little education, few opportunities but unlike them, no self respect. The likes of Birnbaum is not responsible for this problem, he too is a product of their system. The rabbinic sages which lead these communities are the ones that need to be held accountable. Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, one of the Torah Sages endorsing the author of the anonymous letter is himself a recipient of higher education. Rabbi Perlow was not always the Admor (Grand Rabbi) of Novarminsk. He was my teacher, my rebbe. He was dynamic, charismatic and extremely effective, in part as a result of his academic credentials. If higher education was important enough for Rabi Perlow should it not be required for his followers? I wonder if Rabbi Perlow is proud of the fact that his imprimatur was given to the anonymous letter writer. Shael Siegel, educated in the United States and Israel is a post-denominational rabbi, educator, commentator and observer of the Jewish religious/social landscape. He manages a web site and writes a weekly blog which can be accessed through http://shaelsiegel.blogspot.com/ Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Shael_Siegel http://EzineArticles.com/?A-Bintel-Brief&id=499376 760 credit score rating

How To Plan Your Perfect Honeymoon

2008-04-27T02:37:00.001-07:00

By Lesley-Ann Graham Though planning a wedding will already keep your hands full, don't forget to discuss your honeymoon itinerary as well... Six months to twelve months before. Start talking about honeymoon destinations. You can go on the Internet to look at your options, and call a travel agent to find out how much it will generally cost. If you are planning to go somewhere that is very time-sensitive (such as the Carnival in Brazil) you should book immediately. Five months before. Are you going abroad? Fix your passport and visa, and start updating your immunizations. The honeymoon may seem a long way off but you'll be too busy in the months ahead to take care of it, so might as well get it out of the way. Four months before. Finalize your budget and set aside the money so you don't inadvertently spend it on the wedding (it's been known to happen). Three months before. Book everything: hotel, plane tickets, rental car. You may also be asked to pay deposits, so make a note of this in your budget. Two months before. If you are going somewhere with special weather conditions, begin shopping for your wardrobe. One month before. If you have pets or plants, find someone to take care of them while you're away. Two weeks before. Get your travelers checks. Get a special notebook and take note of all the details of your trip: airline, hotel and rental car information, travelers checks numbers, and your itinerary. One week before. Pack your bags, confirm all your travel arrangements. Check your bank for credit card balances. Follow this planning schedule and you'll be well on your way to enjoying a well-organised and stress-free honeymoon!

Hidden Job Market: What Is It and How Do You Find It?

2008-04-21T12:09:00.001-07:00

By Carl Mueller What is the hidden job market? The hidden job market generally refers to unadvertised jobs that are available but arent necessarily known publicly. The jobs are available only if you know where to look for them. The hidden job market really refers to jobs that arent necessarily being advertised heavily but do exist if you know how to find them. Often, companies will have positions open that arent being advertised or they will have jobs available that theyd fill if the right person came along. Other times, companies might interview someone who appears to have a good background and they will find a position even create a new position specifically for that person. Here are some suggestions to uncover the hidden job market:

1. Use your network. Speak with people you know family, friends, former colleagues and managers, people in your industry or profession who might know of a position that is available or at least know of a company that might be interested in skills like yours. Word of mouth is often the best way to get your foot in the door. 2. Search company websites. Make a list of companies that youd be interested to work for who appear to have a need for people with your skills. Research the companies and determine what skills and experience that you have that they need. If you dont see any job openings advertised on their website, contact the company directly yourself call them on the phone to speak with a hiring manager, or email them a copy of your resume and a cover letter stating what you are looking for as a method of introduction. 3. Attend job fairs or networking events. Look for relevant events that include your industry or profession where you can network and meet people who can positively influence your career and job search specifically. 4. Look for names of people who can help you. Use the Internet to locate articles written by people who work in your industry or profession or even from people who work for companies you are interested to work for. Check company websites for names of staff and potential hiring managers related to your field. Contact these people and ask for their help: Ask them who else you should be speaking with in their company. Often, theyll point you in the direction of a hiring manager who you can introduce yourself to. Ask if you can mention that you were referred to this hiring manager by the person who referred you. It adds credibility. 5. Look for companies who need people with your skills. If you know that a company has hired someone with your skills in the past, they might need someone else with your skills in the near future. I often contact companies enquiring about positions that theyve hired for in the past regardless of whether they are currently advertising for these positions or not. If they hired a sales rep three months ago for example, maybe the person didnt work out and they want to replace them. Maybe they need another sales rep and just havent gotten around to searching for one.

Some companies constantly keep their eyes open for good people regardless of whether they currently have a specific job for them or not. Being in the right place at the right time means knowing where and when to look. Carl Mueller is an Internet entrepreneur and professional recruiter who wants to help you find your dream career.

12 Good Reasons To Have An Attorney Before You Sign And Submit A Purchase Offer

2008-04-20T06:37:00.001-07:00

By Jim Hart Every home buyer needs an attorney BEFORE they write any offers on property. Why? Well, you are entering into a binding contract with a home seller for starters and any time you enter into a contract it makes sense to have legal counsel represent you. Many may think they dont need an attorney to write an offerand that is where a LOT of home buyers make the first mistake. Here is just one area about purchasing a home you need to think abouta clear and marketable title on the property. Thats right, although title examination is an extremely boring topic it carries massive weight in the overall investment satisfaction process. Here are a few examples of why title examination performed by YOUR attorney is so important: A house may seem like the perfect investment in appearance and location but there may be hidden defects that diminish its value. For example, there may be a right-of-way over the land that permits someone to drive across the property or zoning regulations that allow factories and other commercial property to be built close by. There may be other restrictions affecting the use or ownership of the property like back taxes, mechanics liens, or defects in the physical property itself. There are a wide variety of title issues to consider that could impact the property and only your attorney, the one that represents you, can perform the title examination that represents your best interestsnot the seller, not the lender, yours. You need to answer a few questions: 1. Are there any serious defects with the property? Have you gotten a seller disclosure form from seller before your sign and submit an offer? 2. Do you know exactly what property comes with the home both real and personal? 3. What zoning regulations affect the property? 4. Are there any easements or restrictions on the property? 5. How are current real estate taxes and current assessments to be prorated? 6. Are there mechanic liens or other monetary liens against the property? 7. Is the seller to furnish a marketable title? 8. What kind of deed must the seller give? 9. What type of title evidence is to be furnished and who pays for it? 10. What inspections should be made to the property and who pays for them? 11. Has your attorney approved your purchase offer before you sign it? 12. Have you checked with your state department of commerce regarding seller disclosure forms? Have you contacted the state bar association for a referralto a real estate attorney in your area? The list goes on and on why a home buyer needs an attorney. Dont be penny wise and pound-foolish. Once you have signed an offer and it is accepted by a seller, there is little an attorney can do to help you. The best time to see a lawyer is BEFORE you sign anything! This article is not intended give legal advice but it is intended to stress the importance of having a qualified real estate attorney represent you before, during and after a real estate transaction.

Myth: Gastric Bypass Patients Don't Need to Exercise to Lose Weight

2008-04-17T07:35:00.001-07:00

By Kaye Bailey Nothing is more disappointing than hearing a gastric bypass patient brag that they didnt have to exercise to lose weight. Its true; patients will lose weight without lifting a finger. In fact, for many, the lack of physical effort required to lose weight is an appealing part of weight loss surgery. But patients who do not use the time of rapid weight loss to incorporate exercise into their lifestyle are doing themselves a grave disservice. Obesity cripples the body. Bone tissues are compromised, joints are swollen, the vascular system is inadequate and the skeleton overburdened. Some morbidly obese people are so crippled from carrying excess weight they are confined to wheelchairs and scooters. They yearn to walk painlessly through a park or museum. When pre-operative patients imagine life after weight loss surgery I suspect there is no wheelchair, scooter or walking stick in that dream. Patients dream of mobility and strength in their bodies. As weight is lost, the burden on the bones, joints and vascular system is decreased. And the body is a magnificent machine given proper nutrition and physical motion it will rebuild its broken framework. The systems will become strong and vital. The most effective way to heal the body from the ravages of obesity is to exercise. Patients dont have to jump up from the surgical bed and run a marathon; in fact, they never have to run. But they have to move their body: walk, stretch, bend, inhale and exhale. Patients who want to take full advantage of weight loss surgery must engage in daily physical exercise. Exercise, however defined, is the most effective, most enjoyable, most beneficial gift one can bestow on themselves while recovering from life threatening, crippling morbid obesity. Patients who initiate an exercise regimen quickly after surgery report long-term success at weight. Exercisers seldom report weight regain. There has never been a better time to become fit. Exercise philosophy has changed. Gone are the days of make it burn and no pain, no gain. Exercise experts say move your body 30 minutes a day, and the benefits will resonate throughout your being. Injuries are down and exhaustion isnt the objective. Consistency is all thats required. Fitness is no longer considered an exact science we are given permission to find what works and enjoy it. Incorporate cardiovascular, flexibility and strength training into the exercise program: the three work in combination to help you become healthy, agile and maintain metabolism. If quality of life is to be preserved or restored exercise is required. The body was designed to require a certain minimum level of physical activity. When physical activity is absent obesity results. Our bodies do not thrive when they are sedentary. It is therefore crucial to deliberately incorporate movement into our lives. More than any other time in your life, following surgery the body is ready to respond to the benefits of physical motion. Surgery is the first step to better health and controlling obesity by restricting food intake. Following surgery is the golden opportunity to muster all the discipline possible and take a stand for a healthier, happier, longer and more productive life. Patients must exercise more than we have in the past and more than is convenient. I implore patients, Do not make the mistake of delaying your exercise program until the weight is gone. If you fail to exercise during the phase of rapid weight loss your skin will sag, your energy will lag and your metabolism will slow. Weight loss will be more difficult to accomplish. You will miss an opportunity to feel good about yourself as you set realistic fitness goals and achieve them. You will miss the euphoria from oxygenated cells. You will betray yourself.

4 Easy Ways to Become the Bad Boy That All Women Want

2008-04-11T12:53:00.001-07:00

By Scott Patterson Let's face it All women love bad boys who live exciting lives and aren't afraid to be themselves. While many girls claim they're looking for a "nice guy", deep down they secretly desire the men who give off the tough guy persona that is shown on movies and television. The best example would be rock and roll stars. Most women know these guys are surrounded by beautiful women. But they still line up in the hundreds and thousands just to be near them. So what makes rock and roll guys have hypnotic effect on women? Well a lot of it has to do with the 'bad boy' attitude they project. These dudes know how to cultivate a specific personality which makes women crazy with desire. Fortunately there is a way you can project the 'bad boy' image without starting your own rock band or dressing up in an all leather outfit. In this article, I'll show you four simple ways you can create your own 'bad boy' persona without resorting to tricks or gimmicks. 1) You project a confident and relaxed attitude Being a 'bad boy' is all about your personality. If you study the guys who attract a ton of women into their world, you'll see that all of them have lots of confidence. In order to be like them, you have to project the same type of attitude. In a nutshell, 'bad boys' act in a confident and relaxed manner in every situation they encounter. This means they're never rattled by any situation. To be like them, you must learn to project a confident aura. Even if you're not feeling particularly confident, you have to practice or at least fake this attitude. 2) You never fall for a woman's tests- Women test guys all the times. The reason they do this to see how much they can manipulate us and control our actions. Now one of the principles of being a 'bad body' is to never take part in a woman's test. Whenever she tries to create drama or force you to do something, you either ignore her requests or simply call her out on her actions. The bottom line is you don't fall for her tests and NEVER kiss hers a**! Instead you behave in a manner where you're in control. If you want to do something nice for her, you do it on your terms, not hers. 3) You act like you don't care about hooking up- Another way to act like the 'bad boy' stand out from the other guys is to act like you don't care about 'hooking up' with a woman when you're talking to her. What's great about this attitude is you appear to be different the other men who spend the majority of their time making overt attempts to seduce women. While they wine and dine women, you spend time enjoying their company, but not 'putting the moves' on them. By acting like you don't care, you'll look like a prize she has to obtain. One of the basic principles in psychology is how people always want what they can't have. By creating an aloof, 'I don't care' attitude, you'll make her work for your affections. As a result, she'll be chasing after you instead of the other way around. 4) Your life is exciting- If you pay attention to romance novels, then you know that women are turned on by guys who live exciting lives. In other words, they're attracted to men who aren't afraid to take risks and like to have adventures. Now I don't mean you should be leading safaris through Africa or start BASE jumping off large buildings. Instead you should have interesting stories to tell and have a few hobbies that make you stand out from other men. So if you want to appear to have an exciting life, you have to do exciting things. If you don't have an interesting hobby, get out there and start finding fun stuff to do!
Once you learn to be an exciting guy who projects a confident and strong attitude, you'll have created the perfect 'bad boy' attitude. Then all you have to do follow these 4 tips I discussed in this article and you'll transform yourself into the guy who women secretly desire. Want to learn more ways to become the kind of man that ALL women desire? If so, take a look at Scott Patterson's free ebook: Seduction SecretsRevealed!, where he teaches a step-by-step system for approaching and attracting beautiful women.

What Exactly is a Real Man?

2008-04-09T08:07:00.001-07:00

By Ruby Potter Well, how you describe a real man depends on your own point of view. They say it is all in the eye of the beholder. If you ask most men what their definition of a real man is they will tell you that a real man drinks beer, goes out with his friends, works for a living and supports his family. What they are really saying is that a real man is their "ideal man." In terms of male bonding, a real man is seen as a brother, someone who other men can identify with. In some cases they are telling you who they want to be. If you ask a woman what a real man is, she will tell you her perception of the perfect man. Some women see a real man as an alpha-male caricature, tall, dark and handsome with chiselled good looks, designer stubble you could strike a match with and a body to make Adonis weep with envy. Others see a real man as the more sensitive type - someone who calls to say goodnight, someone who sends flowers for no reason at all, someone who is not afraid to show affection in public. Both of these perceptions are justified, in the eyes of the woman. They are describing their perfect partner, someone who they aspire to be with. I tend to define "real" as honest. A real man is going to love himself for who he is and he will not make apologies for doing so. There is a fine line between being self assured and arrogant, not many people can tell the difference, nor is it necessary to do so in the case of real men. To an observer, both of these traits may look identical, but why judge? People gravitate towards those with confidence and charisma. A real man doesnt need constant reassurance that he is doing the right thing, he is not preoccupied with the mirror and he will not wonder whether he looks okay. He is happy the way he is and that gives him the freedom to enjoy life. For me, a real man is true to himself regardless of the pressures the world puts on him. That sort of strength of character makes real men attractive. It gives him an air of confidence which people find appealing. A real man doesnt need to seek comfort from materialistic things because he draws all of his comfort from within.
What makes him so appealing? The fact that while hes not seeking reassurance from ME, I can seek it from him. He is man enough for it. I'm spilling the beans on my own journey to find a real man- and you are invited to my no holds barred blog to find out exactly what i am learning!

By CarolAnn Bailey-Lloyd Find Homeopathy College programs in the United States and Canada. If you're interested in alternative medicine and would like to pursue a natural healthcare education, then enrolling in a homeopathy college might be a good choice for you.

Professional physicians, such as MDs, Dos, and other primary health care providers may opt to enroll in a homeopathy college where they can take a homeopathy course designed for the professional practitioner in mind. These courses are generally geared toward homeopathic remedies that lessen the need for doctors to use traditional medicines and antibiotics. Doctors of Homeopathy and homeopathic practitioners who have completed all required coursework and practical training through a homeopathy college will have gained the ability to use non-toxic, natural medicines to help support and enhance natural healing processes.

Interest Only Loan Calculators

2008-04-01T08:41:00.001-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Eric_Morris]Eric Morris Interest only loans can be fixed-rate mortgages (FRM) or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM). Though it is generally felt that interest only loans have lower interest rates, this is not true. In fact, they may have higher rates, because the risk is greater in IO loans. When applying for an interest only loan with adjustable rates, it is very important to consider what the future interest rates are likely to be. This is because repayment in the future will consist of both interest as well as the principle. For interest only loans based on the adjustable mortgage rates, the interest rate is calculated and changed based on the index rate. The index rate depends on the average of Interbank offered rates for one year US dollar denominated deposits in the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). This Index is published in the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate is adjusted according to the index, plus the margin (rounded to the nearest 1/8 percentage point). The interest rate cannot change by more than 5.00 percentage points than the initial interest rate over the whole term of the loan. Similarly, it cannot decrease less than the margin on the loan. Interest only loan products can be 30, 20, 15 or 10 year fixed mortgage with varying adjustable rates. With increasing real estate prices, interest-only loans are becoming a preferred option for many. There are also many lending companies that are giving attractive options on interest-only loans. Information is available on the Internet. They also contain easy-to-use interest only calculators that tell you the kind of repayments you will have to make. The current interest rates on interest only loans are also available on the Internet.

Trade Show Display Cases - Protect Your Investment

2008-03-30T03:56:00.001-07:00

By Robert Albright Today's highly competitive market for trade show displays has the display manufacturer's cutting corners on the most important part of your display - the trade show display shipping case!! With internet marketing causing reduce prices on trade show displays many display manufacturer's are cutting corners to save money by providing substandard shipping cases for many of their displays. The primary portable trade show displays are the popup geodesic framework type booth and the folding panel display. The popup booth uses an oval shaped vertical trade show case that is about 35" tall and about 17" deep by 25" wide. Most of these have wheels on the bottom. The poorly made cases can be seen quickly because if you can see most of the wheel at the bottom then the first time that case is dropped the axel get bent and then the case either won't roll or will wobble so badly it can't be rolled without it twisting off your wrist. When you see one of these cases where only the very bottom portion of the wheel is visible outside the wheel well in the case then you have a trade show case that should stand the test of time. The second most common portable display is the folding panel display. It is folded up and shipped in a trade show case usually about 48" long x 26" wide and 8" deep. The display companies save money on this case by purchasing one that has thinner side walls, and nylon straps with plastic clips. Two problems occur here. One, the thin side walls put more stress on the nylon straps which combined witht the plastic clips causes breakage. Look for cases that have thicker walls (case might weight 30lbs empty) and also have steel buckles on the nylon straps and well as spring loaded steel handles on the cases. Shipping Cases Now has replacement cases for both of the situations mentioned above as well as numerous other shipping cases including the well know Pelican Products. Bob Albright is the owner of Shipping Cases Now and has been in the shipping and trade show case business for over 20 years. Various sizes and models of Trade Show Cases, Shipping Cases and Pelican Cases can be found on the website.

Car Loan Refinancing - When To Refinance Your Car Loan

2008-03-27T12:06:00.001-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carrie_Reeder]Carrie Reeder Want to save money? Lower your monthly payment? Then refinance your old car loan. Trade in your high interest rate loan for a lower rate, especially if your credit score has improved. You can also lower your payments by extending your loan terms, helping your cash flow. Trading In High Rates When rates drop, refinancing makes sense for both mortgage and car loans. Factor in the length of the car loan though when deciding whether to refinance. If you only have a year left on loan payments, then it wont save you money to refinance since you have paid most of the interest up front. You can also reduce your interest costs by refinancing for a shorter term. Reducing your loan by two years can easily shave over a thousands dollars off your interest charges, even with the same rate. Once again, you need to look at how long you have left on your original car loan to be sure you can save money. Better Score, Better Rates If you have improved your credit score since you first secured your car loan, you may find savings in better rates. So even if rates havent dropped for the general market, you may still qualify for better rates. Besides making regular, on-time payments, you can improve your score by reducing your debt ratio. Your score also improves when none of your accounts are maxed out. Lower Payment, Longer Term Reduced rates arent the only reason to refinance. By rolling over to a longer term, you can reduce your monthly payment. Just remember that in the long run, you will be paying more for your car loan. However, when finances are tight, this option can keep you from defaulting on your loan or other bills. Before jumping into a refinancing deal, be sure to investigate financing companies. Compare their APR, ask for free quotes, and read the fine print. Also check with your original lender to be sure there are no early payment fees. The best refinanced car loans are the ones where you save money. Taking the time to research financing offers will ensure that you find just such a deal.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joanne_Elizabeth]Joanne Elizabeth Car is like a passion for many people. They keep all luxurious cars with themselves. Unfortunately not many of us are financially sound to keep our passion alive. But, now you can have a second thought with personal car loans. Personal car loan gives you an opportunity to bring your dream car at your home. It provides you fund to buy the car. Car is needed for all personal and professional work. It has become a necessity for all of us. Now you dont need to just dream about your car, you can actually sit and drive it away. Personal car loans can be availed in two different ways. You can either go for secured personal car loan or an unsecured personal car loan. Secured personal car loan demands your property as collateral with the lender. You can offer any of your assets as collateral, like your home or the new car you are buying. In turn you get low rate of interest, small monthly repayments and long repayment duration. But dont forget if you fail to repay the money, the lender can take your property you have offered as collateral. In unsecured personal car loans things are different. There is no need to offer your property to the lender, thus you are in no fear losing your property even if you fail to pay loan money. However absence of collateral encourages lender to charge high rate of interest, with huge monthly repayments and a small duration of repayment. Personal car loans can also be availed by people with poor credit record also. They dont have to frighten away with their bad debts record. They are offered bad credit car loan to buy them a car. Their adverse credit history is no more a hindrance. With the help of Internet you will be able to locate several lenders offering personal car loan. Its suggested to clear all your doubts and queries after going through all instructions carefully.

Caregiver Depression

2008-03-23T07:33:00.001-07:00

By Milos Pesic Depression in caregivers is very common. The complex role of many caregivers comes with several responsibilities that could create stress to them. They may have to give up their jobs, may experience social isolation, and have trouble coping with the diagnosis or experience psychological problems themselves. Their time to relax and time for their interests have decreased or lost. No matter how caregivers love their job or care for the people they look after, it is still possible that you experience low moods. Low moods often develop into depression. Depression can be caused by many reasons. It could be a result of life situation, like stress or disease. Most of the times, depression is caused by uncontrollable stress. To get the clearer picture, let me give you an example. Anyone who is going through an unpleasant event, in which they think their efforts will not affect the result, can definitely stress you out. Caregivers are the ones most affected by situation like this. Caregiver depression is associated with the demand of their jobs. In the case of disease, such as Alzheimers, a patient may need constant attention from family members for a long period of time, resulting to an intrusion to a caregivers life. You may regard caregiver depression as an extension of low moods that most caregivers experience at some points of their career. Depression has great effects to our lives in so many ways. It is important that you know what the symptoms for caregiver depression in order to get immediate attention before the condition worsen and lead to more interference in caregivers life or life-threatening situation. Here are the symptoms of caregiver depression: * Feeling of intense sadness, anxiety, insensibility, guilt or a combination of all of them * Recurring negative thoughts * Inability to focus * Loss of interest in people and the things around you * Constant mood swings * Experiencing thoughts of causing harm to yourself or to others * Chronic fatigue * Loss of interest in appearance * Tend to get very agitated * Loss of interest you once loved and enjoyed * Experiencing changes of your sleep pattern * Loss of appetite * Gain or loss of weight * Constipation Because caregiver depression is associated with uncontrollable stress and is common that means you are not the only one suffering from this condition. And since, most types of depression is treatable, you have a great chance of regaining control of your life. So, dont waste your life over anything and dont let depression get into you. There are other people who need your care and attention, which is reason enough for you to get on your feet and overcome depression. If you feel that no matter how you care about your patient and your efforts do not pay off in making your patients get better, and you feel sad, guilty, disappointed, or helpless, it only means one thing you are under uncontrollable stress. It is what you call caregiver depression and it should be taken care of immediately in order for you to continue the job you love and enjoy doing. How can you offer and provide care if you, yourself, have an issue to resolve to. Not everything that happens within the scope of your job is your responsibility. I cant stress this out as too much for you. A doctor who knows about depression is the one who can really help you with your problem in addition to your willingness to recover.

How To Double Your Real Estate Agent Referrals In 90 Days Or Less

2008-03-19T22:08:00.001-07:00

By Geoff Zimpfer With the end of the first quarter of 2007 arriving, a more challenging, shrinking market for refinance originations, overall loan volume down, and the number of originators competing for that shrinking pie still being higher than ever, I have a question for you; How are you doing so far? Are you on track? How many sources of business do you have and what would happen to your income if one of those sources disappeared or suddenly under performed? By my observation and through non-scientific surveys of originators across the country, it appears that too many originators business is weighted heavily on the refinance side of the scale. The old live and die by the refi. How would you like to own six, seven or even ten oil wells that consistently spew rivers of black gold from the ground and all you have to do is hold your bucket out to catch enough oil and youll be richer than ol Jed Clampett himself? Just imagine; you could follow in the footsteps of the Beverly Hillbillies and move to the land of swimming pools and movie stars! So whats an oil well in our business? An oil well is any source of business that once located, drilled and tapped, continues to produce business without significant, continual effort on our part. If part of your business plan this year is to grow your purchase business and no longer live and die by the refi there simply is no better oil well for originators than our friendly local Realtor. Now, stay with me here. I know what youre thinking; Realtors are ___________________ just fill in the blank because Ive heard it all before. Before your shut the door on getting agent referral business, lets take a look at some interesting facts. According to the National Association of Realtors 40% of homebuyers get their mortgage from whoever their agent recommends and 28% of homebuyers already have a mortgage person they know or have worked with before. That means if youre counting on advertising or prospecting to fill your pipeline with purchase money loans, 68% of the market is already gone. So all your advertising is chasing just 32% of the market! Even worse, for every $100 you spend on advertising to attract homebuyers, youre immediately down to just $32.00 because 68% of every dollar spent is skimmed off the top, already spoken for in the marketplace. Would you put your money in an investment that took 68% of your money right off the top? Most of the frustrations in working with Realtors comes from originators lacking a proven system for finding, drilling and tapping those agents who will become referral producing oil wells in our business. If you were going to drill for oil, would it make sense to have a plan? First you have to find the oil. Doing open houses, dropping by offices without an invitation, cold-calling, running me-too advertising is about as effective as drilling for oil by throwing darts on a map. Its completely random, produces unpredictable results that lead to burnout and frustration yet most originators keep repeating this insanity hoping that theyll hit pay dirt. Eventually, you fall prey to the belief that theres no oil in your backyard and you go back to doing refis, buying leads, trying direct mail or even cold-calling ugh! Lets quickly look at how we locate and dig for oil wells in our business. First we have to locate where the oil is among the local Realtor population. One of the biggest mistakes originators make trying to find agent relationships is to simply PUSH information about their services and themselves out to agents and hope that this will result in attracting referrals. Because agents are already bombarded daily by other originators using this same approach, it rarely produces the response from agents you want. An alternative to what I call the "push and pray" approach is to PULL agents in by providing useful information that helps them overcome their nagging business problems. One way to do this is by hosting WOW! factor seminars for your local agents that add value to the agents business while positioning you as a leader and becoming a valuable resource for their business. Only then do you begin to earn the right to pursue a relationship with them. What youve now done is engage in reverse prospecting by having agents seek you out and what you have to offer. Of course, some oil wells produce better than others. By hosting seminars, you expedite the process of locating the producing oil wells because youre now sifting through hundreds of agents at a time vs. onesy-twosey. Doesnt that make more sense? Just what are WOW! factor seminars? These are not seminars dealing with the latest contract changes, by-laws, committee meetings etc. Heres a sample of proven topics that putt agents butts in the seats and loans in your pipeline: Instant Tax Relief for Realtors; Gain the Inside Edge Secrets of Americas Top Producing Realtors; The Power of Focus How to Hit Your Business, Personal and Financial Targets with Absolute Certainty; Survival of The Fittest How to Thrive and Profit In Todays Real Estate Market. Hosting these types of events for your local agents is the first step to quickly finding lots of potential oil wells that you can then move to the next step, which is drilling for the oil or in our case getting loan referrals! Youll have a mixed bag of duds and studs among your oil wells and some that just take a little longer to produce than others. Its important to recognize this upfront so you dont get discouraged or stop drilling prematurely. But thats equally true whether youre diggin for Realtor referrals the same ol slow painful way everyone else does or hosting WOW! factor seminars. Its just a lot easier and quicker finding those referral producing oil wells when youre first appointment is with 187 agents at once vs. the slow death of open houses, board meetings, cold calling or any other method youve tried with little results. When youre drilling for a large number of Realtor wells which, you will be when you host your own seminars, the only way to effectively manage the process is by having a system to handle most of the heavy lifting for you. There are a lot of moving parts involved in hosting seminars that are most likely not your core competency. Staying focused on your mortgage business is a better use of your time and resources. Things you should consider outsourcing include: Marketing/Promotions (Filling the Room)
Speaker Selection/Topic
Venue Selection
Reservations/Confirmations
Co-sponsor Selection/Support
Database/List Management
Post Event Marketing/Follow-Up Once youve experienced the feeling of seeing and a room full of 50, 100, 200 or more agents eager to listen to you, heard the positive feedback, booked appointments, closed loans and cashed your commission checks, you too will become a true believer in the power of hosting seminars to quickly boost your agent referral business, eliminating the common frustrations many originators struggle with when working to build a Realtor referral business. Better yet, youll have more fun working with agents because you now have a system you use to dig for oil wells that will continue to produce a steady, reliable source of purchase business for you. Its really just a matter of how many oil wells do you want and how fast can you find them. Now go get yourself some oil wells ya hear!

What It Means When A Woman Tells You She Does Not Give Out Her Phone Numbers To Guys

2008-03-16T16:05:00.001-07:00

By Teddy Shabba Sometimes, men confuse rejection for being a woman playing hard to get. Perhaps one of the most common cases of this occurs when a man asks a woman for her phone number and instead of giving it to him she says she doesn't give it to guys she just met and to give her his instead. When a woman does this it can only be one of two things. 1. She likes you but is testing you to see how you react 2. She is not interested in you at all and is only trying to be polite No matter which reason it is you should never give in and give her your phone number. What you should do instead is tell her that you find it real cute that she is playing hard to get, but you really need to get going and that you promise to play along next time you see her or some other funny statement that tells her you recognize her test. If she likes you she will give you her phone number if not she will stick with her story of no giving it out to strangers. No matter how convinced you are of her story about not giving out her phone number, do not give in and give her your phone number. Remember you are the hunter and she is the hunted and the moment you allow those roles to be reversed by her choosing you no longer control the outcome of your success with her. Even though, there might be a few women who really don't give out their number and still like and want you, for the most part when a woman is given control she will choose to go in another direction besides attraction.

Gastric Bypass Surgery - Get Your Vitamins!

2008-03-14T08:29:00.001-07:00

By Beverley Brooke Gastric bypass patients face a great task in the following months and years after surgery, most of which includes monumental lifestyle changes in comparison to their old habits and methods. The most important of all, given that gastric bypass patients have a new, tiny stomach to fill is diet. Similar to how those on a diet of any kind, the body will be taking in less food then usual and so its crucial to ensure that the food and nutrients youre feeding your body are packed with goodness. This can be a difficult task for the gastric bypass patient, but help is always at hand from the dedicated nutritionists and physicians after surgery. The Internet is also jam-packed with information for healthy diets specifically for patients. Most of all, as the general gastric bypass diet lacks minerals and vitamins, patients must take extra vitamins to supplement their diet and ensure their body gets all thats required. Among the vitamins recommended are multi-vitamins (chewy if possible!), then calcium, iron and patients may be advised you also take vitamin B-12. Its important gastric bypass patients dont slip up on taking their vitamins certain conditions can develop soon after surgery if the body isnt getting the required vitamins and minerals. Patients should always keep in touch with their doctor and follow the guidelines set out post-surgery.

How to Become a Fire Investigator

2008-03-12T17:18:00.000-07:00

By Genevieve Belfiglio Part detective, scientist, engineer, and law enforcer, the fire investigator represents the collusion of multiple careers rolled into one. It is the fire investigator who must explore, determine, and document the origin and cause of the fire, establish what human actions were responsible for it, then bring authoritative testimony to the courtroom to win a conviction in cases of arson. "This isn't a job for a lazy man," says Paul Horgan, accelerant detection canine handler and state trooper assigned to the Office of the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal. "You have to be conscientious and have a mind that likes to figure things out. You really can't take shortcuts. You must take your own photographs, collect the evidence, do follow up investigations. In instances of incendiary fires, you must find the criminal." Although many people use the terms "fire investigator" and "arson investigator" interchangeably, they are not one and the same, says Special Agent Steve Carman, CFI in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Sacramento field office. An arson investigator will try to determine who is responsible for setting a fire; a fire investigator will attempt to determine the cause and origin of a fire. Most of the time, fire investigators are also arson investigators, says Agent Carman, who was an ATF arson investigator for four years prior to becoming a fire investigator and serving on ATF's Western National Response Team for nine years. "Frequently arson investigators might be a police officer of ATF agent who doesn't have the background to perform a fire investigation - an area that is becoming increasingly grounded in the science and engineering of fire behavior," says Special Agent Carman. The job of fire investigation is complex, challenging and intriguing - and requires a wide range of skills to perform it effectively. Every fire investigator has a personal perspective on what skills are needed most. "A background in mechanical, electrical, civil, and even chemical engineering plays a big role," says Robert Duval, a senior fire investigator with the National Fire Protection Association. "You are looking at something that was destroyed and you have to be able to put it back together again either in your mind or physically to determine the origin and cause. Technical training plays a role in determining a lot of the factors in terms of fire behavior and how it attacked the structure you are looking at, whether it be an appliance, piece of equipment, or building." This technical aspect of the job requires knowledge of building construction and materials and the effects of fire upon those materials. Evidence preservation methods, the effects of fire suppression, fire behavior and burn patterns are also important technical aspects. Search techniques must also be learned so that fire cause evidence and ignition sources are preserved during the investigation. Yet it is important not to become mired in the technical aspects of the investigation at the expense of the human component, suggests fire investigator Paul Zipper, who works in the Office of the State Fire Marshall in Massachusetts. "I have made 300 to 400 arrests of people who have set fires. Typically, there's a fight, an incident, and it's the interviewing that will tell you what happened. That's how you solve cases." Consider two separate fires, both originating in a wastebasket under a sink. In the first, someone emptied an ashtray into the can, igniting a fire from burning ash. In the second, someone lit a match and threw it into the trashcan in hopes of collecting an insurance claim from damages. "Both fires originated in a trash can," says Zipper. "But I challenge anybody to tell me how that fire was started. If you can interview well and learn to read people, and mix that with diagramming, investigation, photography, and report writing, you will be a good fire investigator." While not all fire investigators have a law enforcement background, many do. In the state of New York, investigators are fire marshals who are full powered police officers (some "Fire Marshals" are fire service personnel who have received police training and are sworn as "peace officers"). In Connecticut, "local fire marshals" are usually members of local fire departments or work under the municipal government and get some basic training on code enforcement and origin and cause, but who have no law enforcement powers at all! Who is a "fire marshal" may vary too much from one place to the next to make any blanket statement. There are local (FD or PD), state (State Fire Marshals) and federal (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) fire investigators. Except for the ATF where all certified fire investigators are ATF agents, the rest of the system can vary. In New England and a number of other states, state police officers serve as fire investigators on behalf of the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Because fire investigators must follow due process of law in matters such as collecting evidence, search and seizure, interrogation, and court testimony, police or criminal justice training is extremely helpful. How To Get There Fire investigators may work in either the public or private sector. Typically, those in the public sector are employed by municipalities, fire or police departments and state and federal agencies. Those working in the private sector may be employed by insurance companies, attorneys, or private origin and cause firms, or organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association. In some states, the local fire chief has jurisdiction over the fire ground and is ultimately responsible for determining the origin and cause of a fire, says Robert Corry, fire investigation specialist at American Re-Insurance Company. There are 26,354 fire departments in the US. The fire chief may have a fire investigator on staff. However, in some smaller communities, it may be the chief himself. Depending on the severity of the case, the fire chief or investigator may call in more experienced county, state or federal investigators. "A prudent investigator won't attempt to work alone but will instead use a team approach," Corry says. The career path for becoming a fire investigator may be as complex and varied as the job itself. Fire investigators working in the public sector typically come up through the ranks, starting out as employees or volunteers within fire or police departments, gaining experience in various aspects of fire behavior as well as criminal law, and sometimes in their free time, pursuing formal education and training. These fire investigators may work either within a municipality, county, or state office. At the national level, the ATF employs approximately 80 certified fire investigators who are generally called in to assist with local and state investigations of large fire scenes. ATF investigators first serve as ATF special agents, and then are selected to undergo a rigorous two-year training program in fire investigation. Some undergo advanced training in highly specialized aspects of investigation, such as computer modeling, fire sprinkler systems, and fire growth. Those seeking employment in the private sector may come in from the public sector, or they may undertake an academic curriculum on fire science or engineering, such as those offered by the University of New Haven, University of Maryland, Oklahoma State, or Worcester Polytechnic Institute. If you are in college now, engineering, forensics, and photography courses are all useful. After graduating, you might look for job openings within insurance or investigative firms at the entry level, and then attempt to work your way up. Or you might consider volunteering at your local firehouse to gain a foothold in the public sector. Virtually every fire investigator will tell you to become active in as many professional organizations as possible. Training is available on the federal level from ATF, the FBI, and the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI), and on the state level from the state police and Fire Marshal's Office, as well as at various local agencies. Trooper Horgan says investigators in his state usually join professional organizations and then start to go to some of the training offered by police departments on basic arson investigation, attend the National Fire Academy's two-week training program in Maryland, and start trying to build up credentials and a resume. Chris Porreca, group supervisor of the Arson Explosives Group for the Boston field division of ATF agrees that it requires a high degree of self-motivation to pursue a career in fire investigation. "We ask applicants whether they have worked fire scenes, signed up and gone to conferences on the local, state and national level, and taken the initiative to become a state certified fire investigator (CFI) to gain experience and knowledge," he says. Prior to becoming an ATF fire investigator, Porreca was certified by the State of New York for fire investigation, which he said demonstrated to the ATF his desire to go out and learn required skills on his own. "It requires a lot of long hours and a lot of weekends to do your job, and then to do this as well."
While the career has always been challenging, it has become even more so in recent years. "The arsonist is becoming more sophisticated," says Trooper Horgan. "More fires are being set up to try to fool the investigators, to look accidental when they are intentional. This makes our job that much harder and makes you have to be an even more proficient investigator to solve the case."

Tips for Locating a New Vegetable Garden

2008-03-11T09:01:00.001-07:00

By J Ruppel The key to starting a new vegetable garden is the actual garden location. You can change many things about a garden, even upgrading the soil with compost and other amendments, but the location is something that you will have to live with. A successful garden will have several common elements: Convenient to the house: If the garden is too far removed, you won't be inclined to run out there to pick something fresh whenever the mood strikes. Additionally, if you are tilling or hauling in waste for the compost pile, you don't want to go a long way with your equipment. The same goes for hauling bags of fertilizer, flats of plants, or bales of peat moss to the vegetable garden. Finally, if you have to irrigate with the garden hose, you don't want to be dragging long sections of hose from the house. Screening: Depending on your individual gardening style, you may decide that it is better to shield the garden from view if you are not one that likes to keep it neat and tidy. If you plan to have an open compost pile near the garden that may be a concern as well. Sunlight: Obviously, to have a successful vegetable garden, you will need an adequate amount of sunlight. You should get at least 6 hours a day. Often this means you need a southern exposure. But take a look around, are there trees that will be growing to a height in the near future that will reduce this sunlight. Nearby trees and bushes: We worry a lot about weeds, but keep in mind the invasive root systems from trees and other large bushes. Spreading trees with shallow root systems like willows are to be avoided. We've had bushes like trumpet creepers and honeysuckle that can have very aggressive root systems as well. Drainage: Take advantage of the natural lay of the land to optimize your garden watering. But be careful to avoid low spots that can lead to puddling and pooling, which are major problems for growing almost all vegetables. Critters: Finally, depending on the local "pests", you may want to be able to shield the garden from attack. While birds can often get in almost anywhere, you may decide you want to fence the garden in to avoid visits from deer, raccoons, turtles, rabbits, or any other walking critters. A garden can be a wonderful pastime, paying off not only in fresh produce for your kitchen table, but in the connection with nature. Careful selection of your garden location will help to ensure that it is as rewarding as possible.

Soap Making for Beginners -- Melt and Pour

2008-03-09T03:55:00.001-07:00

By Susan Jan Soap making has been around for ages. The process of making soaps can either be simple or complex, depending on what you want to make. You can make soaps as a way to make money or you can make soaps for personal use or as gifts. Keep in mind that soap making can be dangerous, as soaps become very hot when melted during the melt and pour soap making process. Soap making should be fun and entertaining, but it is also important to practice all necessary safety precautions when making soaps. Always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. It is also a good idea to keep your safety equipment on at all times even after you have removed the soap from the mold. This is because melted soap takes a long time to cool. To start making soaps, you have to get to know the basic ingredients in handmade soaps. Handmade soaps are generally made from glycerin. You can buy glycerin soap at your local hobby store. There are many types of glycerin soaps that you can melt and pour into your own handmade soaps. They also have different properties and benefits for your skin. Here are some examples of glycerin soap: * Hemp Glycerin Soap
* Olive Oil Soap
* Clear Glycerin Soap
* Goat Milk Glycerin Soap The good thing about the melt and pour soap making method is that all the equipments you need can be found in your own house. You can use either your double broiler or your microwave oven for melting soaps. It is important to remember to keep the bowl containing the soap base covered when using the microwave. This is to prevent the melted soap base from splattering out of the bowl in the microwave oven and to keep the excess moisture from evaporating. When using the microwave, melt the soap base for one minute in high temperature, stirring in the remaining unmelted soap pieces until those have melted too. If you prefer to use the double broiler, you should first bring the water to a boil then add your soap base of choice to the boiling water, cover the pot and set the fire on low. Keep in mind that this method will take some time. The soap base may take as long as 10 minutes to melt. Stirring occasionally will also ensure an even melt. You can also add some optional ingredients: * You can add fragrance to your soaps. You can buy your choice of fragrance oil in your local hobby store. Keep in mind that the fragrance oil should be completely mixed in so that the soap will not have a cloudy appearance. * You can also add your color preference when making soaps. You can use mica or food coloring for it. When using food coloring, you should start by adding one drop at a time and mixing it thoroughly until you reach your color preference. After the soap base has melted, pour it into individual molds, tray molds, or blocks, which can then be sliced. You can also be creative and design your own soap mold to create soaps of various shapes and sizes. Creating your own handmade soap by the melt and pour soap making process can be fun and an inexpensive process. It also makes great gifts for family and friends.

Botox - Beautifying or Bizarre?

2008-03-08T06:33:00.001-08:00

By Gay Redmile Botox - or Botulinum Toxin - is regarded by some as the fountain of youth! Botox injections are being used to attain a fresh, youthful appearance. The treatment has proven to be both safe and convenient. Botox was originally used for treating nervous twitches of the eyelid muscles. In 1987 it was sanctioned for cosmetic use. Botox is a poisonous substance - it is a protein complex produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum - it contains the same toxin that causes food poisoning. However, when injected in low doses - it is a modern tool that can reduce the signs of aging! A low dose of the toxin is injected into the facial muscles - causing temporary relaxation of those muscles. It is usually injected into the forehead wrinkles, the vertical lines between the eyebrows, the neck and 'crows feet' in the corners of the eyes. It is non-evasive, only takes a few minutes, requires virtually no recovery time - for results lasting 3 - 6 months. Botox binds to nerve endings - blocking the release of acetylcholine. By selectively interfering with the underlying muscles' ability to contract, the existing lines are smoothed out, and in most cases, nearly disappear, within a week. Like all cosmetic surgery - some risks are involved. Too much toxin injected, or injected into the wrong place, can result in droopy eyelid muscles which could last for weeks. Allergic reactions rarely happen, however some botox side affects may include: headaches, respiratory infection, flu syndrome or nausea. Some localised pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, bleeding, or bruising may be associated with the botox injections. These would be temporary - but can last several months. In the USA 'botox parties', or happy hours, have formed a key part of the marketing. Not only does treating people in groups ensure more affordability - but also helps to reduce any anxiety associated with having injections. It takes about 15 minutes per person - anesthesia is not usually needed - however sedatives may be available. But - beware of unqualified people dispensing botox in salons, gyms, hotel rooms, home based offices, etc. Remember - it is a prescription drug - botox surgery should only be undertaken by a qualified person! Botox treatments are becoming increasingly popular - it is ideal treatment for those who to not wish to risk surgery, or those who do not have the time to undergo complicated procedures. It is not as radical as surgery - hence this anti-aging process appears to be much more natural. Do be aware that new wrinkles may develop as a result of botox treatments - it has been suggested that people unconsciously recreate facial expressions where the botox has been injected - causing nearby muscles to compensate - which can create new wrinkles. Botox cost varies - but seem to fall into $250 - $500 per session. There have been other positive off shoots from botox treatments:
Some patients noted that their migraines improved following botox injected into their forehead and brow muscles. This may be explained by the fact that muscle tension may act as a trigger for migraine the same way that light and odours do. By reducing muscle tension - botox would be eliminating an irritant to the nervous system, which would reduce the chances of a migraine developing. Botox is also used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which is caused by stimulation of the sweat glands by nerve endings. These nerves respond to physical and mental stresses and increased body temperature associated with exercise or hot humid weather. Botox can prevent sweating for months by blocking the release of acetylcholine from the nerve endings - that cause the glands to produce sweat. Botox has been used to reduce sweating in the underarms, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Recent research suggests that botox could be used alongside chemotherapy and radiation to fight cancer. The cosmetic treatment produced by Allergan has been found to destroy resistant cancer cells in tests on mice. Are the any botox alternatives?
Yes - serums, containing ingredients from plant extracts to animal oils - injection free solutions that promise tightening of the skin on sensitive areas of the face - are being promoted as new alternatives to botox injections. Used concurrently - it is said that the serums reduce the need for follow up injections for at least 6 months. Collagen is another ingredient in rejuvenating skin care products. Anti aging creams aim at replenishing the face's supply of collagen to reduce or prevent wrinkles. Collagen injections plump up the skin for a permanent reduction of wrinkles. Restylane is a non-animal, biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in most of our bodies as it provides fullness and volume to the skin. Results last longer than fat and collagen injections. Restylane maintains its shape using the body's own moisture therefore producing a longer lasting youthful facial appearance. Restylane treatments vary - from a few minutes - to an hour. Results can last for 6 months or longer. Gay Redmile is the webmaster of several health and wellbeing websites.

The Controversy Behind Sunless Tanning Pills

2008-03-07T08:04:00.001-08:00

By Ken Marlborough For convenience and ease of use, people may be tempted to turn to the sunless tanning pill for an effortless tan. Tanning pills are controversial and thought to be unsafe. The FDA, in fact, has not approved most tanning pills, and they can be difficult to get in the U.S. Besides some severe side effects, the sunless tanning pill may not even work at all, depending on the brand used. The ingredients of a sunless tanning pill will vary, and in many instances, there is no clear ingredient breakdown on the label. A sunless tanning pill will generally contain either caretenoid pigments or tyrosine, or they will prove to be nothing more than hyped up multivitamins. Other ingredients vary from pill to pill, and often they are nothing more than nutritional supplements. The pills work by altering the skin's pigmentation, though not always in the way one would expect or desire for a tan. Some simply turn the skin orange rather than tan. Others end up with the pigment placed unexpectedly in the body, producing less-than-perfect results. The caretenoid tanning pill works by depositing pigment in fat layers just under the skin, which colors it. Unfortunately, the amount of these substances that are required to be taken is high enough as to have been deemed unsafe by the FDA. Tyrosine, another base for sunless tanning pills, is a non-essential amino acid that helps skin cells produce melanin. There's no need to supplement for it, which means that pills containing tyrosine are not up to their manufacturers' claims. While having a great tan without effort and risk of skin damage can be a wonderful feeling, and while the convenience of a sunless tan can be immense, there are some methods that are just not worth the risks to tanners' health. The sunless tanning pill would be one of these methods. Tanners looking for a convenient, safe, sunless tan would do well to look elsewhere for that golden glow. Sunless Tanning Info provides detailed information about sunless tanning lotion, booths, sprays, salons, and pills, as well as reviews of best sunless tanning products and methods. Sunless Tanning Info is the sister site of Tanning Beds Web.

Improving Lead Generating and Conversation Rates: Think Like a Farmer

2008-03-06T03:08:00.001-08:00

By Charlie Cook John's a freelance photographer in Ohio who called to tell me of his frustration with the advertising and promotional campaigns he has tried in the last couple of years. Each time he does a promotional mailing to his list of 10,000, he is lucky if he gets one or two inquiries. I had a similar call from a corporation that was spending its time and money driving traffic to its web site. With six thousand visitors a day, they were only getting a couple of inquiries per week. Both businesses were spending a lot of money to get attention but werent converting this attention to leads. Are you having the same problem? Marketing is a lot like farming. You cant just head out to your fields and bring in a bountiful harvest. First, you buy seed from the money youve budgeted. You buy enough to be sure that a good crop will germinate and thrive until harvest, and youre likely to plant several different crops to hedge the weather and the market. You may not be interested in becoming a farmer, but if you want to see your business grow there are three ways thinking like a farmer can help you. 1. Learn How to Collect More Leads
A farmer needs seed and lots of it to bring in a bountiful harvest. You need a lot of quality leads to increase your clientele. If your ads or mailings aren't resulting in a steady stream of inquiries, find out what's not working and change it. By changing a couple of sentences of your marketing copy or your offer, for example, you can increase response rates by a factor of ten or more. Could you collect more leads with the right marketing strategy and marketing copy? 2. Learn How to Increase Your Lead Conversion Rate
A farmer who had spent his savings on seed wouldn't plant his field, then go on vacation and come back months later expecting to find a healthy crop. While you may be the exception, this is the way most people market their businesses. According to The Yankee Group, between 40% to 80% of new business leads aren't converted simply due to lack of follow-up. Many businesses spend money on getting attention and then don't follow up on a prospect's interest by giving them the information or contact opportunity they want. What you tell a prospect and how promptly you respond when they show an interest determines whether they continue to stay in touch. Of the people who see your ads, what percentage respond? Of the people who visit your web site, what percentage contact you? Of the people who contact you, what percentage become clients and customers? Could you increase your lead conversion rates by improving your Internet, phone and mail follow-up? 3. Learn to Use Systems that Generate Leads, Nurture Them and Increase Conversion Rates
Today's farmers are as technologically and information savvy as any of us. Farmers use GPS in their tractors to plant their crops, the web to connect to weather forecasting and crop price information web sites to track their markets. Using high tech information and machines to get the work done, today's farmer has a system for buying seed and supplies, planting, maintaining and harvesting his or her crops. They make good use of systems and machines to increase their chances of bringing in a bountiful harvest. In the case of the corporation mentioned above, a simple change to their web site increased their lead conversion from 1 or 2 a week to 80 a week. Could your lead conversion rates increase with a better system for capturing and following up on leads? If you're like me, you get hungry often. Whether you're taking photographs or growing lettuce, you want to generate more leads and grow your business. To fill your larder and bring in a steadily increasing number of clients, think like a farmer. Use your marketing strategy and lead generation system to bring in many more prospects and increase your conversion rates. When you do you'll find yourself with a bountiful crop of new clients.

When Is The Best Time To Start A Diet?

2008-03-05T00:39:00.001-08:00

By Dr. Alan Jenks People who are overweight or obese can start a diet right away. If you know that you are slightly overweight then it is time to start figuring out your Why. Is your desire to lose weight really strong? How badly do you want to lose weight? Whenever there is slight increase in your body weight it could be the right time to start a diet. The more important it is to yourself to lose weight, the more committed you will be to losing the weight. It is always better to check your weight at regular intervals. This helps you to keep track of your weight fluctuations and have better control over your weight. Whenever your weight shoots up to more than 20% of the recommended weight you are considered obese. Check your body mass index regularly. It should be between 18.5 and 24.9 for a normal healthy person. If the body mass index in between 25 and 29.9 then it is time to seriously start to lose weight and follow a regular diet that would reduce the intake of fat in your body. If your body mass index is above 30 then you are considered obese and you have to definitely follow a diet plan. Eat healthy always. It is better to have healthy foods at home and try to avoid the junk foods. Some people might have the tendency to eat snacks all the time they feel bored. Avoid this habit. Instead make it a practice to do some physical activity instead of sitting idle. While eating you should note that it is better to have your meals at least two hours before your scheduled exercise. The hardest part about starting a diet anytime is sticking with it and being consistent with your diet plan. One of the best ways to stick with our diet plan is to really develop your goals for losing weight. This is why you need to find your why you want to lose weight. Find your reason for losing weight and write it down. Place it somewhere that you can view it everyday, so you can be reminded of your goal. This will help you stay on track.

Is Tummy Tuck the Right Choice for Me

2008-03-04T01:47:00.001-08:00

By Tara Pingle Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, procedures are performed for people that have excess skin and/or fat that is resistant to their diet and exercise efforts. A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and fat around the abdomen, as well as repairs the abdominal muscles, leaving behind a better contoured, flatter abdominal area. Often times, things like gastric bypass surgery and pregnancy leave the abdomen skin, fat, and muscles stretched and sagging. Tummy tucks are most commonly performed on men and women who have lost a lot of weight and are suffering from loose skin and some fat around their abdomen. The best way to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you is to schedule an initial consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. During the initial consultation, you will be able to ask your plastic surgeon questions and find out if a tummy tuck is right for you. Many different factors are taken into account during the initial consultation to determine if a tummy tuck is the right choice for your body. There are also different types of tummy tucks that can be performed, depending on the amount and location of skin and fat that must be removed. If you are close to your ideal weight, but are suffering from sagging, excess skin and fat around the abdomen and would like a better-contoured body, then a tummy tuck may be the right procedure for you. If you have more questions about tummy tucks or abdominoplasty procedures, feel free to contact an experienced cosmetic surgeon such as Dr. Adrian Lo of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

How To Avoid Spamming!

2008-03-03T09:08:00.001-08:00

By Eva Claesson Mainly look at who your ads are being sent to. 1. If they are being sent to complete strangers,
new prospects that you've not had dealings with before,
then your ad should not mention the program, but rather ask
them to request the information from you.
Once you receive this request, take a note of the email address and first name (at least),
and store them in a file (preferably a Group Mailer).
You can then email these people back (because they are now an optin lead)
and advise your website details, etc..... 2. If they are being sent to your previously spoken to clients, no problem. 3. If they are members of the same club or program as you, and cross promotion is permitted,
again no problem. IMPORTANT: It is imperative to avoid SPAMMING that you include a DISCLAIMER CLAUSE
at the foot of every email you send out.
(Safelist advertising has its own so no need for one there). The Disclaimer Clause should say something to the effect: DISCLAIMER: This email cannot be considered SPAM as you have previously
requested information from me. or DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is sent in compliance with strict anti-abuse and NO SPAM regulations.
Your address was collected as a result of either posting to a link, a free classified ad,
or you have sent me your business proposition by e-mail in the past.
Under Bill S1618 TITLE III, passed by the 105th US Congress, this message
cannot be considered SPAM as long as there is a way to be removed, paragraph(a) (c) of S. 1618. or DISCLAIMER: Please refer to www.spamlaws.com/federal/hr3113.html
This message is sent in compliance with
the pending new Email bill, Section 301. paragraph (a) (2) (c) of S.1618. It is also imperative to avoid SPAMMING that you include a REMOVAL CLAUSE at the foot
of every email you send out. (Again safelists are not necessary to do this with). The Removal Clause should say something to the effect: REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS: If you no longer wish to receive emails from me,
please click "Reply" to this email, and type or copy and paste
in the subject area - REMOVE ME FROM YOUR EMAIL LIST. You may like to categorize your Email list, to relate it to your own lists.
I have several different lists, I always categorize the list. Check out that you don't SPAM. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Eva_Claesson http://EzineArticles.com/?How-To-Avoid-Spamming!&id=293618 ambien and xanax

Weight Loss Through Foods That Fight Fat

2008-02-29T09:48:00.001-08:00

By David Chandler Some foods can magically melt pounds, and that train of thought has been around for a long time. While exercise and a variety of wholesome foods help will help you lose weight, there are foods that burn calories and suppress hunger. Listed below are a variety of foods that will help speed your metabolism and therefore burn fat. Foods such as raw spinach contain bulk. Therefore, the space they leave in your stomach - partly because of their high water content -leaves less room for pastries and ice cream. They are also jammed with iron, foliate, calcium and vitamins A., B, C, and E that helps you to lose weight. Grape fruits help you lose weight fast. They are not magic, but they are powerful fat fighters due to their fiber content. In addition, without added sugar, a grapefruit has fewer calories than an orange of the same weight. Apples keep the doctors away and fat. Eating several apples a day is a great way to lose weight. Hard fruits like apples take time to chew and fill you up. You burn more calories chewing and digesting celery than it actually contains. Celery has vitamins E and C. It is a diet food that also helps you lose weight and should be on everyone's plate. Protein packed legumes such as black beans, chickpeas, lentils are not just low in fat and rich in soluble fiber, they digest slowly and keep blood sugar levels steady. You will not feel like eating for a while. Calcium rich foods and drink such as low fat milk can boost metabolism. It has been found that women and girls who consume dairy products regularly tend to lose weight easily and have less body fat than those who do not. The omega-3 in fatty fish, such as mackerel can curb overeating. The protein mixed with the fat in fish is also known to curb your eating. You can eat all the strawberries you want and can never gain a pound. Strawberries, peaches, plums, and grapes come with cancer fighting carotenoids and appetite-suppressing fiber. Eating these types of fruits daily will help you lose weight fast. Above are just some examples of foods that burn fat. Disciplining yourself to eat a proper diet and the right exercise program will help you reach your idea weight in no time.

Types of Mood Disorders

2008-02-27T23:27:00.001-08:00

By Andrew Bicknell There are two categories of mood disorders recognized by the psychiatric community: unipolar and bipolar disorder. Both are a type of depression with the difference being those who suffer bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, also experience extreme mood swings between depression and episodes of extreme mania or high energy. The unipolar, or depression, type of mood disorder can further be broken down into the different types of depression which include: 1. Major depression. 2. Dysthymia. 3. Seasonal affective disorder. 4. Postpartum depression. Mood disorders are characterized by continued feelings of sadness, despair, guilt, irritability, loss of appetite, constant fatigue and suicidal thoughts. Different people will have different combinations of these thoughts and feelings, making it important for sufferers to seek professional help to help sort through the various symptoms. While some of these feelings are normal in daily life, when they become an on going problem that last for weeks, months and even years it is considered a mood disorder that needs some sort of medical or psychiatric treatment. The exact cause of mood disorders is not known. It does appear that many combinations of outside events can trigger an episode. It is known that many people who suffer mood disorders also have a chemical imbalance of the brain that makes them more susceptible to these depressed feelings. Research has also shown that the different types of mood disorders can run in families are thought to be a genetic trait. Treatment of mood disorders varies depending on the disorder itself and any outside influences that may contribute to the disorder. These outside influences include illness, drug or alcohol abuse or a major life changing event. Normally these need to be dealt with along with the mood disorder for treatment to be successful. The mood disorder itself can be treated with anti-depressant medication, therapy or a combination of the two. The different types of mood disorder can be treated successfully if its sufferers seek help. Unfortunately nearly half of the people who suffer from mood disorders never seek the help they need.

Fishing Supplies - Understanding the Basics

2008-02-26T05:44:00.001-08:00

By Sarah Freeland When you find yourself in a tackle shop, youll find lots of great tackle from which you can choose. In this section, well discuss rods, reels, and lures. A rod is a long pole that works just like a lever, for you to catch fish. While your grandparents may have used rods from cane, these days theyre usually made out of fiberglass, graphite, or another kind of composite material. Most rods come equipped with a reel-holding clamp and guides through which the line will run, but youll have to purchase the reel and line separately. In the mean time, choose among the different designs for different tasks, including rods for boat fishing, jetty or pier fishing, or bait casting. The reel is a machined device. Basically, it holds and spools the fishing line, but its design will differ depending on the kind of fishing you plan to do. A casting reel has a revolving spool; a spinning reel allows the line to coil off a stationary spool; a spincast reel looks like a spinning reel but it has a nose cone; and finally, a fly reel stores the thick line used for fly fishing. Reels will come equipped with a line spool, a brake to slow running fish, a handle so that you can reel back your line, and a foot that allows you to clamp it to a rod. So whats fishing line? Line is the special filamentusually, nylon, although some are also available from braided fibers and wirethat you use to fish. Fly line, however, is a specialized plastic coating around a core material; and fly line is often tapered (meaning that it changers diameter from one end of the reel to the other) to make it easier for you to cast. When you finish fishing, make sure you gather up your excess lineits dangerous to other anglers, and wildlife. A fishing lure is anything artificial, thats designed to attract fish, and has hooks. Lures may include flies, hard plastic or wood plugs, soft plastic imitation plugs, or even jigs, spinners, or spinnerbaits. Lure also includes metal spoons.

If You Are Trying To Lose Weight, Get All The Garbage Out Of Your Refrigerator

2008-02-25T08:44:00.001-08:00

By Gregg Hall Many people are looking for ways to lose weight and become healthier. There are many weight loss programs being offered on television, in magazines and just about every where you look. There are even pills that you can take that promise to facilitate weight loss and build muscles. Some of them are very expensive and others offer unrealistic plans and goals that have failure written all over them. You don't have to spend a lot of extra money to try to get healthier and shed pounds. You also don't have to experiment with different diets. The best place to start to lose weight and feel great is right in your kitchen. Your kitchen probably has many unhealthy foods, just waiting for your consumption. Before you go on your next shopping trip, remove these items from your kitchen. Start with cabinets and get rid of all of those fattening chips, cookies or any other unhealthy snacks that are impeding your weight loss. Move onto the refrigerator and freezer. Toss out the half eaten containers of ice cream and sugar filled sodas. If it isn't healthy, get rid of it. Your body will thank you. Now, you can head to the grocery store. Make a list and stick to it. Ignore all of the displays of cakes and donuts and pay attention to the fresh produce aisle. Fill your cart with a variety of vegetables. Make sure to choose some from every color. Vegetables will supply you with needed vitamins and minerals. They pack large amounts of fiber to help you feel full and reduce your appetite. Instead of candy, by fresh fruit for a healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Instead of fat laden fried chips, buy baked ones. You can dip them in low fat salsa for extra taste and enjoyment. Also try eating dried fruits and nuts for snacks. They are healthy and they taste great. Instead of ice cream, by sugar free fudge cycles. These have a rich taste that will trick your taste buds into believing that they're getting ice cream. You can also get low fat frozen yogurt which is just as tasty as ice cream. Another great desert is sugar free gelatin. You can top it with fruit and a sugar free whipped topping. There's no reason not to enjoy your food, just enjoy healthier ones. Replace fatty meats with lean cuts and fish. Try baking them instead of frying them to reduce fat. Instead of heavy sauces, sprinkle some soy sauce and garnish with sesame seeds for extra flavor. You can get cookbooks that will teach you how to prepare low fat delicious meals. Eat on smaller plates, like square sushi plates. The smaller the plate, the smaller the portion and make your table attractive by adding fresh flowers. By stocking your kitchen with healthy foods instead of fattening ones, your weight loss goals will be achieved. Gregg Hall is an author living in Navarre Florida.

2008-02-19T06:13:00.001-08:00

By Michael P Brown 1.) Make them an offer they can't refuse: Give away a Free gift. Like a free ebook. A free consultation. A free gift certificate. A free dinner. A free resource. Free information that is valuable. In fact, information is one of the most valuable things you can give to someone for Free. And the best part about giving away free information is that it usually doesn't cost you anything to give it away. Bottom line is this. If you're going to make an offer they can't refuse then make sure its worth it. Make sure its something your target customer wants. If it's something they want then you will likely be turning another window shopper into a paying customer. 2.) Make your offer for a limited time: A limited time offer creates a sense of urgency in your targeted customer. You want to make them feel like they have to get it now, or they won't get it later. It also makes your offer seem more important. Also, the more specific you are about exactly when the offer ends - the greater sense of urgency you create in your target customer. Examples: Limited time offer: If you call within the next 48 hours you will get (product name) at 50% off. or The next 50 calls will receive a brand new Rolex watch. Ok maybe not a Rolex, but a Timex. But you get the idea. or Click here now this offer expires at midnight November 22, 2003. (specific time) 3.) Have a call to action: Tell your prospective targeted customer exactly what to do next. Be directive. Don't dilly-dally around. Just tell them what to do next. Be careful with this. It is an art. You don't want to sound demanding like a dictator. There is a way to say it and write it so it almost sounds like a request, but it's actually a direction. Examples: Call now. (Some people use explanation points here, I don't! It feels too demanding and could turn your prospective targeted client off and make them feel like you are giving them orders! A period is nice and neutral, but you're still giving direction.) Click here now to place your order. (Nice to throw a "you" or "your" in there, it is more reader involved and speaks directly to your perspective targeted customer) Sign up today. ( ahh, this is ok, but "now" is more immediate then "today." There are 24 hours in a day, but now is now, and forces your targeted customer to make a decision now, and not sometimes today - maybe later on - maybe never) 4.) Give a concrete "real" Guarantee: The only Guarantee that is "real" is to offer to give your customer back his money if he or she is not satisfied. Any other kind of guarantee is just meaningless words to your customer. If you say we guarantee customer satisfaction and quality service, but don't back it up with a money back guarantee, then you are just talking the talk. If you really want to turn window shoppers into paying customers, then walk the walk, and give a money back guarantee. Studies have shown that the better the guarantee, the less likely the product will be returned. If you feel you can't give a "real" guarantee then ask yourself why you can't. Do you doubt your own product? If you really believe in your product, then back that belief up with some teeth. Example: A limited guarantee: Our No-Hassle 30-day Guarantee Try it out for 30 days, if you are not completely satisfied - send it back - and we will fully refund your money. No questions asked. (I don't know what's being sold here, but with a guarantee like that; I'm ready to buy it now.) A Lifetime Guarantee: Our lifetime Guarantee If you're not satisfied - for any reason - simply return the item and we will fully refund your money on the spot or replace it. No questions asked - no hassles. It's important to note here that a guarantee takes all the risk out of it for your customer. Your customer is thinking, I could lose my money. But, if you can make your customer feel like he or she has nothing to lose, then you will be turning window shopper into a paying customer. 5.) Hook your prospective customer with a compelling headline. A good headline is packed with your #1 or #2 benefit. And it is compelling - addressing a need or want of your prospective customer. The more specific the headline - the better it will pull. Many copywriters and Marketers spend 80-90% of their time working on the headline. Why? Because they know their customers will not even see what they have to offer if they are not drawn in first from a compelling headline.

Study Strategies For Excelling in College

2008-02-18T02:21:00.001-08:00

By Chris Stout Studying in college isnt as hard as people make it out to be. Sure you have to absorb volumes of information in just a few weeks time, but if you study correctly, youll retain every bit of info for the long haul. Youll excel in the classroom, receive excellent marks on your assignments and ace all your tests if you just prepare. Here are some study strategies thatll help you excel in college. Dont cram. You really dont have to. Cramming is for the uninterested and the unprepared. Spread out your workload and get it done piece by piece. Learn how to manage you college time wisely. You time in school is finite. Take advantage of all the opportunities at your disposal while you have the chance. Really enjoy the subjects that you choose to take. Studying is easier when theres interest involved. Find something you like and keep at it. The more you learn, the more youll want to know. If you can let your curiosity take offer, study time will go by pretty quick. Find people who have enthusiasm for the material and study with them. Its always a good idea to have at least one friend in every class that you can call upon for clarification, further info and so on. If you can locate an intelligent person who loves what theyre studying, try to learn with them. Let their enthusiasm rub off on you, and youll perform a whole let better. Take really good notes in your classes. If you have excellent notes to refer back to, you will have an easier time completing and scoring well on your tests and assignments. Plus, when you take excellent notes in class, the material that you are learning is absorbed on more levels. You hear the information presented at the same time that you physically express it. In the end you have a visual record of the class proceedings. Get used to taking good notes. It really makes a difference. Use flash cards to memorize definitions and key terms. If you need to memorize lots of information in a short period of time, then flash cards are the ideal study strategy. With flash cards, you study as you create. The process of writing down everything will help you commit the info to memory. Each time you go through testing yourself, you can set aside the terms that you know you have nailed and focus more on the terms that wont stick in your mind. Whatever study strategy you embark on, make certain that you have found a way to personalize the material. Make it interesting to yourself in some way. Manage your chunks of time and get your work done. Take the best notes around and use flash cards for memorizing lots of key terms and definitions. If you prepare correctly, you can achieve anything you want to in academics and beyond. Chris Stout is a frequent contributor to CareersandEducation.com.

Maybe Not Bones, But Hearts...And Worse: The Destructive Power of Simple Speech

2008-02-16T18:20:00.001-08:00

By Azriel Winnett Out of the blue, slap bang in the middle of a working day, an
unexplained sensation inside your mouth breaks your
concentration. You have deadlines to meet, and you react
merely by immersing yourself with new determination in the
task in hand. At least until the next day, when the mild discomfort has
progressed to a stabbing pain. Any wishful thinking that the
fate of the whole world depends on your finishing your work is
now irrelevant. When you reach the dentist, he shakes his
head sympathetically and jabs a needle right into your gums. Wonderful thing, these anesthetics. The ache is gone even
before he lays a finger on that troublesome tooth! Now, let's imagine you were created with a kind of natural
anesthetic, that washed your mouth continuously so that you
never got toothache. Good? Probably not. You'd never know
when a tooth needed attention, until it would be far too late. Horrified and sickened..
Problem is, this isn't as far fetched as it may seem. You see,
you get anesthetics for the body, and other anesthetics for the
mind. A former teacher, John Andrew Murray, wrote in Teachers in
Focus magazine about his
experiences with an English class at a private American
school. In order to spice his lessons, Murray was using the old
television series, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" each week to
teach his students about plot development. After a few weeks, he decided to stop the show before the end and let the
students write their own endings. The students liked the ideas
so much that they wanted to read their work aloud in class. After about the third student, he put a stop to the reading
aloud. What the teacher had heard horrified and sickened him. When he later discussed with them the very explicit imagery
of violence he had found in their papers, Murray's students
were quick to insist that media violence didn't affect them
because the graphic scenes they saw on TV and films were
"fake". Murray then asked them how they would feel if they
saw a dog on TV getting riddled with bullets. "How horrible!" they cried out in unison. Murray concludes that unlike the human carnage they
regularly witnessed on TV, his students had found animal
deaths appalling because they had seldom seen it. For the
first time, they realized how desensitized they had become to
violence. Sad, isn't it? The truth is, with most human beings the desensitization
process goes even further. Much further. Sometimes, it's
good. ( We eventually "get over" a loss, or forget a traumatic
episode.) More often, it's anything but good. Remarkable human talent
Take the remarkable human talent for hurting others by what
we say. At times, it's deliberate; we WANT to inflict verbal
pain on our friends -whether we admit it or not. (Often, this is
to compensate ourselves for imagined feelings of inferiority).
At other times, we don't intend to offend, but do so
nonetheless. It's the art of anesthesia again. We've become desensitized. A seemingly innocuous example. A friend may have a spouse,
child, or parent who's critically ill. We unwittingly reassure her: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." She's not comforted. Just the reverse. She knows everything won't be fine. For that matter, why tell a friend who bought herself a new
dress last week, even if she asks for your opinion, that it looks
terrible on her? (I'm assuming it's already too late for her to do
anything about it; if she can, that might be different, provided
you tell her the right way!) I won't even talk here of purposeful innuendos, backhanded
compliments, slurs and insults. At all times, people who really
want to spread love in the world should take extra care with
their speech. Do you remember the schoolyard chant: "Sticks and stones
may break my bones, but words can never hurt me! Utter tripe! OK, words may be rarely able to break bones, but they can
break our hearts, our spirits, even our reputations. And yes, our ability to develop and maintain meaningful
relationships. Azriel Winnett is creator of Hodu.com - Your Communication Skills Portal.

Flower & Vibrational Remedies - What Can They Do For You?

2008-02-15T18:02:00.001-08:00

By Helen Thompson Although plants and herbs have been used for millennia as medicines for physical ailments, it is well known that they also have properties which can heal emotional and mental disturbances and disease. And plants are not the only vital energies that can be utilised; minerals and crystals can also be the basis of remedies, as can intentional thought. These remedies involve a very subtle form of energy healing, and come from the very essence or vibration of the plant or other base there are no active ingredients as found in herbal products or in allopathic medicine, it contains no chemical ingredient that can be proved by science it is the very life force contained in the substance. These vibrational essences are usually contained in a liquid, almost always water, with an alcoholic preservative like brandy added. Essences are not the same as the essential oils that are used in aromatherapy they have neither perfume nor flavour. They contain only the energetic properties of their original mother substance. In contemporary times, the English physician Dr. Edward Bach has been the best-known essence maker of the modern world. Born in 1886 in Birmingham UK, he completed his university studies in 1912 and became a consultant pathologist, bacteriologist and homeopath. After a health crisis in 1917, when doctors gave him three months to live, he threw himself into his work researching and testing his flower remedies on himself and others. As the months went by, he found himself growing stronger which instilled in him the belief that mental states have a direct and powerful effect on physical health. After studying homeopathy in depth, he abandoned his lucrative Harley Street practice and devoted himself to his new system of medicine the Bach Flower Remedies. Over the next five years he developed the series of 38 remedies and, a year later, he died after concluding this lifes work. Dr Bach devised a system of seven major emotional groups into which people could be classified. These are: Fear
Loneliness
Insufficient interest in present circumstances
Over-care for the welfare of others
Over-sensitivity to influences and ideas
Uncertainty
Despondency or despair 38 negative states of mind are categorised into these groups and a plant-based remedy was created to treat each of these emotional states. It is now believed that Dr Bach probably resurrected the old formulas used as far back as Paracelsus times (15th century). We know that Aboriginals have used them for centuries. Flowers in honey have also been found in the ancient tombs of Egypt. Since Dr Bach however, many others all over the world have produced vibrational remedies with delightful results, and dealing with issues that become more relevant in the modern age. They have been produced not only from plant flowers, but trees, roots, minerals, animals, place and healing energies - the sky appears to be the limit. Even the much maligned Japanese Knotweed has been used to make a remedy for helping promote group awareness and experience! We now know from Dr Masaru Emotos ground breaking work that water can hold and preserve the intent or message imprinted into it. This is the vibration contained in these remedies or essences. Thankfully, there is now a myriad energy healing systems being used all over the world. These include Reiki, Chios, Quantum-Touch, my own Crystalistix Energy Healing and a host of others too many to mention. They all work on the premise that physical ill health is the outer manifestation of inner subtle life-energy imbalance, and utilise life force balancing skills to redress this disruption. When life energy is flowing smoothly and suffusing the whole body with its nourishment, the physical symptoms that trouble us usually melt away and are healed, as there is now no need for them to alert us to issues that must be addressed.* All dis-ease corresponds to an underlying emotional / mental negativity that has been allowed to penetrate the physical body through the "hole" in our protective energy system. A skilled energy healer can use many methods of detecting where such imbalance lies, and will enlist the help of many tools, including vibrational essences. For the sceptics amongst you I recommend you try it! * 'Healing' does not necessarily mean 'cure'. Healing is the process which has the intent of returning you to whole-ness, which is your natural state of being. Healing takes place at a very deep level and may happen somewhere - in mind, body or spirit - often far away from where the physical symptom manifests. At the end of the day, we all heal ourselves - it comes from within, not without. A healers job is to enable you to promote your own self healing, as far as nature will allow. There are some conditions that subconsciously are not ready to be healed - for whatever reason. Occasionally the fear of being whole after a long period of illness can be daunting, and one must be ready to take that step and adjust thinking & emotions accordingly. Those who need to be healed but are not ready, because changing appears to them to be a more difficult task than not changing (for various reasons), are often not prescribed vibrational remedies until they realise that change is inevitable. The same applies to those for whom a (usually chronic) problem has turned into a 'dear friend' and who so rely on it to attract attention or caring response from others that, although they may air their tribulation often, they are not really interested in finding a solution. Most people who are receptive to the idea of vibrational essences really want to improve their lives, and will benefit greatly from them. Be brave - wellness is always a better option than disease!

Brief Due Diligence Report

2008-02-13T06:29:00.001-08:00

By Jo Ann Joy A due diligence study of a business can be conducted by an accountant or an attorney if the attorney is experienced in the industry of the business and has a background in accounting and finance. The companys financial condition is a big part of the report. Either professional can prepare a short due diligence report consisting of approximately 10 pages. The due diligence report starts with an executive summary that contains the name of the person who conducted the study and the name and position of the person who asked for the study. The executive summary will outline the steps taken to conduct the study. The executive summary will also list the documents and other items reviewed during the study. Finally, the executive summary will present an overview of the findings of the study. The due diligence study contains the biography and credentials of the person who conducted the study. The report will outline the steps taken during the study, and the report will describe the specific areas of the business that were part of the study. For example, the report will discuss the companys history and the companys management. Other factors considered are the companys background, the culture and goals, the business strategy, any business awards, media attention, and indications of growth. In considering the companys culture, the report will state the mission statement and a description of the business model. In considering the companys growth, the report will list gross revenue, industry rankings (if available), number of offices and locations, and any other relevant financial information. The report will address the last 3-5 years of the companys operations. If there are key indicators of the companys growth such as new offices opened or new technology installed, the report will give that information. If the company had media recognition, the report will give that information also. If the company has been involved in litigation, the report will describe each lawsuit and the outcome. This is usually the concluding portion of the due diligence report. Jo Ann Joy, Esq., MBA, CEO, Indigo Business Solutions

A Business Loan: Best Companion of the Beginners and Experts of the Business World

2008-02-11T21:07:00.001-08:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Carry]John Carry With various avenues and jest for self freedom has stimulated many to start their own business. The way things are going on; it does not look a big task to start a new business. But for that there are some mandatory requirements like sheer jest to succeed, innovative ideas and the most important thing, money. Undoubtedly, you need consistent cash flow and one way or another to generate regular money. But, initially you need that firm support to go on with your dreams and a business loan can be the right solution. You can have various reasons to go for a business loan and this loan would suit them. Much depends on your financial capability and circumstances. Well most of the times, people go for a business loan to purchase a piece of land to set up their own factory, to buy raw material or machinery, to pay off previous debts of their businesses, for further expansion of their business, to pay off the wages of the employees. So, once you make up your mind to pursue your business dreams with all the courage and sheer desire then you can go for a business loan. If you are capable to offer collateral against the loan amount then procure a secured business loan. On the other hand, no need to feel bad even if you do not have any security or collateral to offer as you can go for an unsecured business loan. Both loan solutions would suit you in one way or another. In case you avail the loan after offering security, then you would reduce the risk for the lender. Thus, the lender can easily afford to offer you flexibility in terms and conditions. Besides, you can also get the big loan amount and concession in interest rate. The loan which comes without security would not give you such liberties, but it would get you the much needed money even if you do not offer any collateral against it. Its obvious that non-involvement of collateral would mean that it would take a lesser time for processing of the loan amount. You need to finalise your priorities or business needs before going for a [http://www.ask4loan.co.uk/business-loan.html]business loan. Beginners need to take a special care before settling upon a business loan plan. The best way to choose any business loan is to get all the detailed information about the various lenders and business loan plans. These preparations would definitely make the things easier for you.

Do Christians Get Depressed?

2008-02-10T19:33:00.001-08:00

By Sonya Triggs What does the Bible say about depression? Is it okay to be a Christian and still get depressed? And what exactly is depression, anyway? First, what exactly is depression? WebMD defines it as A clinical mood disorder associated with low mood or loss of interest and other symptoms that prevent a person from leading a normal life. Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary has an even more eye-opening definition: a psychoneurotic or psychotic disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal tendencies. And if that doesnt make it clear, I dont know what does! So, do Christians get depressed? The short answer to that is Yes. The Bible is filled with a lot of people who got depressed! The prophet Elijah experienced his own depression very shortly after experiencing a major victory with God. Elijah held a competition himself against 450 prophets of Baal! to prove the might of God. After a lot of storm and drama, God proved Himself to be the Only True God and Elijah experienced a major personal victory. The queen at the time -Jezebel - was very unhappy about this and threatened Elijahs life. Elijah became frightened and ran for his life. After coming to the end of his (physical) rope (in the wilderness), he stopped and started to feel very badly for himself. 1 Kings 19:4 says Elijah, .begged for his life, that he might die. And he said, It is enough, O LORD, take away my life. For I am no better than my fathers. (MKJV). Elijah was definitely depressed (the entire story can be read in 1 Kings 19:1-18). Even one of Israelites Great Deliverers, Joshua the Son of Nun, experienced a down time. Joshua had led the Israelites to a resounding victory against Jericho. The Israelites then went to war against Ai and experienced a bitter defeat. Joshua 7:6-7 says And Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust on their heads. And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, why have You at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? And, oh that we had been content and lived on the other side of Jordan! (MKJV). Joshua was a very unhappy man. What I find most interesting about these situations, however, is how God responded to Elijah and Joshua. God sent an angel to minister to Elijah after hed stopped in the wilderness, who provided him with food encouraged him to eat and drink. Elijah then took a 40-day journey to Mt. Horeb where God Himself spoke to him. God asked Elijah What are you doing here, Elijah? (1 Kings 19:9 MKJV) and Elijah has this pity party where he tells God how he had been zealous for Him and Elijah was now the only prophet left and how they were trying to kill him! God gave Elijah instructions to carry out and then promptly informed him, Yet I have left seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal...(1 Kings 19:18 MKJV). In other words, that Elijah had no business being depressed because he was not, in fact, the only prophet of God left. He also got the opportunity to speak to God one-on-one, as God passed by him and spoke to him in a still, small voice. God had a different response for Joshua. Joshua 7:10 says, And the LORD said to Joshua, Get up! Why do you lie on your face this way? (MKJV). God explained to Joshua that the Israelites had been defeated because they had sinned against Him. But that now, it was time to Get Up!, fix the problem and return to their warfare against the people of Ai. What is reassuring about both of these situations is not only the fact that God heard Elijahs and Joshuas cries to Him, but that He responded. He met them right where they were and gave them hope and instructions for how to carry on. He didnt leave them in the middle of their hopelessness He took control and gave them a renewed sense of purpose and direction. So, do Christians get depressed? Sure but they dont usually stay depressed. One thing is for certain Christians will encounter many situations which will challenge their optimism. Jesus himself promised us In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. (John 16:33 (MKJV). And why should we be of good cheer? Because Jesus also reminded us that I have overcome the world. In other words, there is no need for us to remain down or out (or even surprised by the frequency of our troubles), because Jesus has already solved any problems we will encounter. Yes, God does hear your cry when you are depressed, and will comfort and minister to you (as well as give you guidance), but, ultimately, our victory happened right there on Calvary when Jesus died on the cross for us. We can rest assured knowing that we will eventually come to a place where all trials and tribulations will be over, all tears will be wiped away and we will have eternal rest and peace with our Father. So thats why we must recapture our joy when we're down and make a serious effort to remain in good spirits at all other times. So what should you do if you find yourself in the throes of depression? Paul lays it out for us in Philippians 4:4-13. First, he tells us to let God know about our worries - through prayer and supplication. To make our requests known to God with our thanks (for hearing, for responding, for whatever we can think of!). And then he promises us that peace will be ours. And to maintain that peace, he tells us to think on good things! Good things only. He says .whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report, if [there be] any praise, think on these things. (KJV - emphasis mine) This doesnt mean you have to adopt a Pollyana view of the world that nothing bad is going on or that you dont have a good reason to be down. Instead, it means that you CHOOSE to maintain a positive attitude, knowing that God has it all under control. It means that you CHOOSE to let God deal with it instead of wrestling around with it in your own mind. And, finally it means you CHOOSE to believe God instead of all the rotten things that are going on around you. Paul last of all reminds us that we can do all things because Jesus strengthens us. So, its not a matter of relying on your own strength, but on the strength of the Almighty. And He will never let you down. So, dont worry if you get depressed (occasionally) - just try your best not to stay depressed. Remember that God hears your prayers (and will respond) and that His peace will keep you through it all if you let Him. So think good thoughts, turn your cares over to Him and choose to believe in Gods word instead of the world. You will be blessed! Sonya C.

Sunflowers

2008-02-09T21:10:00.001-08:00

By Johnathan Sanders Hi there, I am Jhon Saunders and recently took up gardening as a hobby. i have managed to buy cheap gardening equipment and also items such as blubs, lights etc. I have submitted various articles on mow I did this. To view this articles, please search under my name. Sunflowers, what are they and why am I writing about them? Well to put it frankly, sumflowers really do liven up any garden and they are so easy to cultivate. Literally, all you need to do is plant a sunflower seed ( you are not going to ask me where to get hold of these are you!) and then just add water. The advantages of growning flowers like sunflowers is they also attract bees. Due to there size, they also add a focal point to the garden. For this reason, most houses here in the UK, tend to plan them in their front yard. Just out of interest, if you goto the South Of France, you can drive through fields and fields of sunflowers- a very beautiful se. On average mu sunflowers grow to 5 foot in hight, but I have seen neighbours grown to 7 foot- what a sight. Isn't nature amazing, that fromsuch a small seed can grow such a beautiful flower? I highly recommend growing sunflowers, as they are easy, just add water and a bit of sunlight and they definately bring sunshine to your garden. Go on give it a try John Recently took up gardening as a hobby. http://www.lawn-mower-parts.info John Sanders Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Johnathan_Sanders http://EzineArticles.com/?Sunflowers&id=45564 phentermine online fedex

How Young is Too Young? Buying Cell Phones for Kids

2008-02-08T17:04:00.001-08:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Barry_Nagassar]Barry Nagassar Take a random tween, age 8-12, place them in front of a rotary phone and observe at the blank stare of bewilderment. Yes, gone are the days of the landline, pushed aside by the next wave of technological advancement. Mobile phones are fast displacing landlines in many homes; accompanying this movement is the fact kids regularly use and know how to use these cell phones. The mobility of cell phones means you can be anywhere and have the necessity, or should I say the convenience, of a phone. Cellular service providers and manufacturers would enjoy nothing more than exploiting the vastly untapped tween market. However, is it necessary to provide cell phones to kids age 8-12? What makes it necessary today? Is the simple the notion of having the technology enough reason to equip younger and younger customers with phones? Where do we draw the line when it comes to tweens owning cell phones, and when should we be restricting use? The remainder of this article will discuss the pros and cons of purchasing cell phones for kids. It will discuss the social aspects, health concerns, and cost issues. Social and Cost Issues: Weighing in at a paltry 56 grams, designed with a smaller frame to accommodate smaller hands, measuring 88 x 44 x 20 mm, one of the leading cell phones targeted exclusively towards the 8-12 market, the Firefly. It offers up to 2.5 hours of talk time, and up to 100 hours of standby, basically it's your bare bones cell phone that permits parent's to limit outgoing calls to certain numbers and also sports 'mom' and 'dad' buttons for quick dialling. The Firefly is marketed with such catch phrases as "Parents of pre-teens understand that it's time to start loosening the reins and letting their kids travel unsupervised to school, the library, or friends' houses." Pro: Yes kids need a safety mechanism and having a cell phone handy does provide added protection in the form of determining whereabouts and phoning for help. Con: Big safe mechanism, however, if any parent purchases a cell phone for their kid using the catchy marketing ploy directed to parents, '...start loosening the reins and let their kids travel unsupervised,' they have the wrong perception regarding the purpose of a phone. Anybody who believes that providing a cell phone to a child automatically provides them with responsibility and ability to take care of themselves, when they were unable to do so before a cell phone, are relying too heavily on 'parenting by technology'. Be mindful of such reasoning when thinking about buying a cell phone. Con: Another item to consider, are we turning our kids into internet and mobile phone junkies? One should question whether connecting kids 24/7 to their friends via cell phone will influence their social habits. Also, cell phones are quickly becoming the norm and the fashion. Kids will demand to be hip like their buddies from school who sport the latest cell phone, or any cell phone for that matter. Parents will be pressed to give in to ignescent demands of 'everyone else has one', or 'I want to be cool like the other kids'. Sure it may be good to have your kid fit in, but since when is school primarily a popularity contest? Furthermore, when does fitting in cost so much?! The thing with cell phones is there are monthly costs attached -- not a one time sunk cost. Chances are you will pay the monthly fees. Some options are available to have 'pay-as-you-go' options, you pay for whatever minutes you purchase, however, either or, the more your kid talks on the phone, the more you pay. Dont forget too that cell phones are more than phones. Almost all (the Firefly does not) have text messaging and more complicated communication tools included that have an attached cost as well. Boy, this is starting to get expensive! Health Issues: The Firefly cell phone is designed to give the bare phone essentials. However, this phone is a candybar style, which means the antenna is located within the phone unit and does not protrude out. This means cellular frequencies are closer to the brain. The question now revolves around how early is too early for exposing kids to cellular frequencies on a regular basis? On one hand you dont want to risk your child's health, on the other hand scientific research is still inconclusive when it comes to cell phone 'radiation'. The juror is still out on this one, be your own judge regarding the health impacts. There you have it, some helpful reminders to consider before going out and dropping a couple hundred dollars and an additional twenty per month, minimum, on a cell phone for junior. One certainly cannot downplay the safety benefits, you never know when it could save a life, however, at the same time, there are many con items to consider before sending buying a a cell phone for junior. One thing is for sure, the little handset device will never replace supervision from an adult when supervision is due.

Weight Loss and the Negative Calorie Diet

2008-02-08T03:53:00.001-08:00

By Simon Volk Weight gain is caused by your calorie intake exceeding your calorie expenditure. If you could reverse this equation, then you would lose weight and have a negative calorie balance in your body. To achieve weight loss, what if you could eat negative calorie food? Negative calorie food is not a reality as all food contains calories. Negative calorie foods are those low in calories and that burn more calories during digestion than the calories contained in the food. The body has to work harder to extract the calories from these kinds of foods. So as you might guess some one has created a negative calorie diet. The thought process behind the Negative Calorie diet is eating catabolic food, which is just a fancy word for negative calories. This diet is a dream come true because the more of these foods you eat, the more weight you lose. When combined with moderate exercise and other diet supplements, this is a win-win situation. People using the negative calorie diet are eating and drinking foods that are full of nutrition, but are from the list of those having the negative caloric results. Remember any diet (be it negative calorie foods or not) is designed to reduce weight and body fat. Even though this diet plan is design for weight loss, it also will result in increased energy and longer life. The digestion process is the keystone of the Negative Calorie diet, so don't upset it! It takes longer periods of time for proper digestion of these foods. Raw fruits and vegetables can always be found on a list of weight loss diet foods. The negative calorie foods contained in this diet are mostly fruits and vegetables which should be eaten raw. It also encourages eating five to six times a day keeping your body's metabolism maxed out. You can eat these foods until you are full at each meal and not worry about calories. Use them as part of a balanced diet and always respect the food pyramid. So what are these magic food and vegetables? Here is a short list: Fruits:Apples, Apricots, Blueberries, Blackberries, Grapefruit, Peaches, Strawberries Vegetables: Broccoli, Carrots, Celery, Cucumber, Lettuce, Zucchini Talk about a simple diet, eating foods that we know are good for us and delicious. If you stick to it you can have an average loss of about a pound per week due to a negative calorie intake of about 3500 calories. So in a little over ten weeks you can lose ten pounds. This article is by no means an all inclusive discussion of diet, so always make sure to check with you physician before changing your diet. Good luck and good health.

Job Trend News: Home and Workplace Blur

2008-02-07T02:20:00.001-08:00

By Paul Megan New job trends can make a huge difference in your career advancement. Staying on top of the latest job trends can mean a faster and more lucrative career move. For example, were all familiar with the trend of working from home--at least for a few hours a week. Many computer-driven businesses are seeing productivity advances by encouraging certain types of work from home. Well there is another trend that can impact your job . . . bringing the advantages of home to the workplace. Many organizations are taking the best aspects of home and incorporating them into the workplace. They are recognizing that work is becoming home for many employees. For instance, 46 of the 100 best companies offer take-home meals to liberate workers from having to cook dinner. Or how about this: 26 of those 100 companies offer personal concierge services. This allows employees to outsource the details of buying flowers and birthday presents . . . or planning anniversary parties or bar mitzvahs. Why? Organizations are finding that providing such options makes bottom line sense: 1. Its all part of the ongoing search for top talent. Offering these amenities is proving to be a strong recruitment tool. 2. Its all about productivity. Companies find that they can relieve employees anxieties. Providing services or managing events that could distract them from their work focus increases their productivity. You owe it to yourself to check these trends out. They may already exist with your current employer. But if youre in the job market, negotiating these items can give your personal bottom line a serious boost.

What to Do if A Woman Doesnt Return Your Phone Call

2008-01-31T03:39:00.001-08:00

By Teddy Shabba Let us imagine for a moment that you met a woman on a Saturday night, really hit it off and exchanged numbers. You call her a couple of days later and get her voicemail. You leave her a message, now you are wondering when or if you should call her back again? After she calls you back is the simple answer. What if she doesn't call me back what should I do now? You should wait till you see her again and then do a better job of creating attraction in her so that next time she will call you back and maybe even call you first. What if I don't see her again? If you never see her again hopefully you will have moved on and forgotten her before then. When you call a woman you have shown her that you have a certain amount of interest in her. When she doesn't pick up or return your phone call she has now shown you a certain level of disinterest. Calling her again and again is only going to show that you have an even greater level of interest in her and at the same time increase her level of disinterest. Now if you do run into her again the only thing you can talk about is how you called her again and again and she never returned your phone call which isn't a good way to help build attraction in a woman, whatever chance you did have is slowly going down the drain. Yet, if you had only called once the next time you ran into her you wouldn't even have to bring up the fact that you called and instead could concentrate on building more attraction in her. If she apologizes just tell her you found someone else to go play bingo with and that it was no big deal and get back to creating attraction in her. Now she will be eager for your call and just might pick up on the first ring.

Organising a Great First Date in the UK After Meeting Someone Special Online

2008-01-29T18:29:00.001-08:00

By Ivor Conway Let's not make any bones about it the first date after meeting someone online is always a difficult thing! Feeling nervous. Good because that is perfectly normal. Feeling excited. You should be, this could be the start of something great! Where to go? We think that lunchtimes at the weekends or straight after work/college during the week are the best times for a first date. A quick drink somewhere close-by will mean that you have the chance to learn a little more from your date and they can learn a little more about you! Decide to eat after you have met. Getting gravy stains down your shirt can be off-putting on the first date so see how you go with regard to food. Also meals tend to be longish affairs and if things are not going well it is more difficult to leave a meal that it is a quick drink. Keep it simple. Does anyone really want to go salsa dancing or sky diving on a first date? Good first dates usually lead into fantastic second dates so do not try to pack everything into your first meeting. Be yourself on the first date and things will be fine. Feeling nervous, then say so. You can bet your bottom dollar that your date is feeling the same and it will break the ice. Talk a little about yourself, what you enjoy doing and then listen to what your date has to say. Communication, as your mother keeps telling you, is a two way thing! Take time to understand what your date has to say for themselves and if you are unsure about what they have said, ask them to explain. People love to talk about themselves in general so make sure that you allow them to speak whilst having time to put in your ten pence worth. It all goes well, fantastic. If not take the following lesson to heart. If everyone met their true love on the first date that they ever went on, we would all be married at sixteen and this article would be about raising babies. Dating is about meeting people having fun and moving on if that particular person isn't right for you. Expect some average dates and even some poor ones. Expect to meet people that you fancy but who ask not to see you again. It's difficult I know but not everyone is going to fancy you as much as you fancy them. People are different and that is a great thing. It can also be a bit of a downer when you get yourself all excited for a date and it doesn't go as well as planned. Don't lose heart. Put it down to experience and if you have followed our advice and only arranged to meet for a quick drink close by, then what have you lost, an hour or two and the cost of a drink. For every frog there is a prince. Believe us. To keep the magic alive we would recommend limiting the number of first dates that you go on each week. Dating can be exhausting and you can quickly become jaded. Save yourself so someone special rather than meeting up with every Tom, Dick or Harriet! Making That First Meeting A Safe One

Dating people you meet on the internet is as safe as dating people you meet at work, in the pub or at a club. We all need to look after ourselves so please just bear the following tips in mind and stay safe when meeting someone new. This applies to men as well as women!

When you make the choice to meet someone off-line, always tell someone where you are going and when you will return.
Leave your date's name and telephone number with someone that you can trust.
Bring your mobile phone with emergency numbers stored in it.
Never arrange for your date to pick you up at home instead make your own way to the date.
Meet in a public place at a time when many people are present, and when the date is over, leave on your own as well.
Make sure that you car is nearby or that your route home on public transport is well timetabled and reliable.
If youre nervous, double date with friends to take some of the pressure off. A good date will understand.
Avoid dates that involve being away from other people like walks in the countryside, bike rides or drives to remote areas for the first few dates at least. If you decide to move to another location, take your own car or grab a taxi.
When the timing is appropriate, thank your date for getting together and say goodbye and go home alone. On the first date at least.

Have A Back-Up Plan

If things are not going well, and sometimes they will not, have a back-up plan. Call someone you trust and get them to come and collect you or get them to call you so that you have an excuse to leave. If things have gone wrong on the date and you are uncomfortable with your date let someone know like the restaurant manager, the barman, a fellow dinner or even call the police .It's always better to be safe than sorry. Never worry or feel embarrassed about your behaviour. Your safety is much more important than one person's opinion of you. There are lots of online services which give you a safe and secure environment to date online. While liars, cheaters and imposters certainly play their craft on the Web, you'll also find them in nightclubs, among the membership ranks of off-line dating services, at cocktail parties and occasionally sitting across from you at your local caf. Regardless of where, or how, you meet someone, dating is never a risk-free activity. A little caution will reduce your risk in these matters of the heart. Drinking
Youll probably be nervous before a first date. Though a few drinks could help loosen you up, dont overdo it. Youll need to have a clear head if things don't go to plan. Never leave your drink unattended or drink anything that has an unusual taste. And being a drunken mess is not a great way to impress a new boyfriend or girlfriend. Ending the Date
If you don't wish to see your date again, be honest and tell them firmly in a considerate way. Remember you are in control. It is your responsibility who you contact and who you don't. Don't put yourself at risk and trust your instincts. However if you continue to receive messages after you say "no" to further contact, you should report that member to the site administrator where you met online and document all further attempts to contact you carefully. Our last tip is to enjoy yourself! Have fun, be safe and we hope that you meet the partner of your dreams soon!

Finding Trophy Bass

2008-01-27T17:23:00.001-08:00

By Charles White Have you ever noticed some people have all the luck when it comes to catching huge bass? Maybe, it's not luck at all, it is most likely they know where to look for the lunkers and what the big bass need to survive. Bass continue growing their whole life but when you have the right elements, they can grow to be monsters. Big bass needs an abundance of food,shad, crawfish and shiners all are good food for bass and it has to be plentiful. Bass need warm water to grow to be monsters, this makes their metabolism faster, this is the reason why monster bass grow in the Southern states.
Bass also need shallow water for a place to spawn and feed and
they need deep water close to the shallow water for cover and cold fronts. Use your fish finder to find the right places for lunker bass. Mine has water temperature on it, that helps find warm water. If you see a bunch of fish in a location on your finder then they might be bait fish. Once you find the warm water and bait fish then see how far away the deep water is located. If it is close to the warm, shallow water and the bait fish, then try that place for fishing. If you can find a fishing hole with all these ingredients then you're likely to find big bass. Charles E. White has fished for almost 50 years for bass from California to Florida. In his lifetime, he has caught over 6,000 bass. His biggest bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce that hangs on his wall in his office.
Charles has owned two tackle shops and has taught many people to become successful anglers. He has fished with the Pros in Florida and California. His website about fishing for bass is at:

Triple Play Over SDH Unites the Traditional With the Modern

2008-01-26T22:00:00.001-08:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Volker_Bendzuweit]Volker Bendzuweit To be able to provide an infrastructure for high-revenue broadband services like triple play, operators are working feverishly to deploy modern networks capable of supporting TV and video streaming. But pure-bred next-generation networks with end-to-end IP infrastructure will remain the exception in the foreseeable future. Even in modern carrier networks, traditional lines will continue to play a role, and technologies like Ethernet over SDH are making it possible to build pragmatic solutions. With next generation networks (NGNs), carriers are deploying an Ethernet IP platform capable of supporting not just services like Layer-2 VPNs, VLANs, and voice over IP, but also video and TV transmission. These networks consist of IP/MPLS-based transport networks and Ethernet-based Metro networks. To reach the greatest possible number of customers, these networks support different types of access on DSL copper lines, cable TV lines and optical Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM). Triple Play services a combination of Internet access, telephony, TV and video are expected to offer considerable sales potential in the consumer segment. Triple Play has plenty of appeal for customers: they only need to pay for one access service and can place phone calls affordably over the Internet, surf the Web, watch TV, and access videos, games and music for their home entertainment platforms over the network. These services can be offered on both DSL lines and back channel-enabled broadband TV cable, so competition for consumer business will get tougher. DSL providers and TV cable network operators are suddenly finding that they are rivals in the same market. There are, however, opportunities amid the competitive risks: Triple Play is seen as a means of increasing the average revenue per user (ARPU), attracting new customers, and offsetting shrinking margins in former cash-cow segments, like call charges and DSL access, with revenue streams from value-added services. So its hardly surprising that Internet service providers (ISPs) are working hard to begin offering attractive Triple Play services and to enrich these services with value-added communication capabilities and entertainment content. But to deliver these services, ISPs need more than just a simple infrastructure for data transportation. They need modern networks that are optimized for real-time applications, that can sustain the transmission of TV broadcasts and video on demand and enable guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). This is good for carriers because, with the decline in prices in recent years, they can hardly turn a profit worth mentioning by simply providing data transport infrastructure. Modernization with IP DSLAMs
To support Triple Play services, the broadband infrastructure needs to be expanded. TV and video streams require much higher bit rates than, say, Internet access and VoIP applications. Because an individual video stream today needs a transmission rate of between 1 Mbps and 4 Mbps (and this will increase with the advent of tomorrows new high-definition TV formats), vendors need infrastructures capable of supporting rates of between 5 Mbps and 25 Mbps. Furthermore, high Quality of Service is crucial to Triple Play services because no one, for example, would be willing to put up with a jerky motion on TV. So network operators are currently upgrading their networks to support more demanding services like IPTV (TV and video streaming over Internet Protocol) and deliver them to the customer on access technologies like ADSL2+. This means that the local loop needs to be modernized. One key component in the new access networks are Internet Protocol DSL access multiplexers (IP DSLAMs). These provide residential users with the services on DSL lines and essentially form the backbone of the Local Loop. The multiplexers are connected to the network operators IP, MPLS or Ethernet transport infrastructures. Known as backhaul networks, these segments generally use packet-switched lines, with Ethernet being the connection of choice because of its simplicity. Unlike traditional DSLAMs, IP DSLAMs use IP or Ethernet rather than ATM. Besides the greater data throughput and the need to carry video streams smoothly, they also have to support voice traffic, in keeping with the principle of Triple Play. Equipment has to be capable of delivering the requisite high Quality of Service to sustain voice over IP and video real-time applications. Connecting the Multiplexers
To connect an IP DSLAM, network operators generally use dark fiber and attach the equipment to the fiber over Gigabit Ethernet. Optical fiber is not available at every location, but instead of installing new fiber in such cases, DSL network operators can rent conventional fixed SDH lines to connect their multiplexers. This pragmatic approach is not just more economical, because there is no need to deploy an all-fiber infrastructure, but also creates valuable competitive advantages: Triple Play vendors are eager to get their services out into the marketplace and they need to roll out a suitable network infrastructure as quickly as they can. Easy ConversionAs with many point-to-point applications, simple conversion at the protocol level is the most affordable means of carrying Ethernet traffic from the IP DSLAM across an SDH network. The IP DSLAMs Gigabit Ethernet interface is connected using a protocol converter. This converts the Ethernet data into virtual containers (VC-4) and transfers them across the STM-1 interface directly to the network operators add-drop multiplexer (ADM). One known issue associated with Ethernet over SDH is avoided here: the transportation of signals of variable length like Ethernet frames on fixed-size units like virtual containers (VC) in SDH is anything but efficient. And the scale of Ethernet traffic (100 Mbps, 1,000 Mbps) does not fit the hierarchy levels in SDH (around 150 Mbps with STM-1 and 450 Mbps with STM-3). Thus, the transmission of traffic on a fully loaded Fast Ethernet interface over an STM-1 line would waste one-third of the available bandwidth. Here, however, the traffic from an only partially loaded Gigabit Ethernet interface is transported on the STM-1 line, and the size of converter can be chosen to best suit the actual data throughput. In the application example in the sidebar, an intelligent RIC-155GE Ethernet-over-SDH converter carries Gigabit Ethernet traffic with a maximum rate of around 150 Mbps from the IP DSLAMs across an STM-1 line. This prevents bandwidth loss and eliminates the need for complex and costly solutions like virtual concatenation technology. If additional bandwidth is needed, equipment with an STM-4 interface can be deployed. The name of RAD Data Communications product reveals plenty about the device: it is a rate and interface converter with STM-1 (155 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The converter has a number of additional functions, which make it especially well suited for use in Triple Play-enabled networks. It supports a large number of MAC addresses and, therefore, a large number of DSL users. In addition, when traffic is high the converter can buffer data when it peaks. Using VLAN priority tagging, the device can also distinguish between applications an important capability, particularly for the efficient transmission of TV channels (multicasts) on a network. At a glance
The requisite IP connectivity is not always on hand to transport Ethernet data streams. One way around this problem is to convert IP traffic into SDH containers and to carry it on an SDH transport network. Bandwidth can be adjusted as necessary, depending on the data rate. Closing gaps in IP networks affordablyTelefnica Germany is expanding its broadband infrastructure for business customers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Technology from RAD Data Communications is being deployed to connect the Ethernet infrastructure transparently using conventional leased lines: the RIC-155GE Ethernet-over-SDH converter enables Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to connect up over SDH lines. Telefnica Germany has a comprehensive, nationwide MPLS-based backbone. The company is currently building an unbundled Local Loop (LLP) platform. By the middle of this year, up to 40 percent of all households in Germany will be connected. With this highly advanced, Ethernet-based DSL infrastructure, service providers will be able to offer broadband services like ADSL2+ and, later, multimedia services like Triple Play. Missing linkAround 1,600 IP-DSLAMs will be connected over Gigabit Ethernet lines to form ring-structured Metro networks, mostly on dark fiber. However, fiber is not available at every DSLAM location. Telefnica soon found a solution to close the gap: It leases SDH lines from other network operators to carry its Ethernet traffic. To be equipped to meet tomorrows demands, the company was looking for an affordable product that would transparently convert the data traffic and support multicasts. When new services are rolled out, the issue is not rapid time to market. If a company does not have its own Ethernet or IP lines for DSLAM backhaul and if no dark fiber is available, SDH networks, which are still widely available, can provide an answer, explains Ramon Horkany, Product Line Manager at RAD Data Communications. Leasing lines is often more economical, particularly as the current price trend is very favorable. Says Ingo Stampe, Director Networks with Telefnica in Germany, Of all the solutions we looked at, RADs RIC-155GE converter proved to be the most affordable option for carrying Gigabit Ethernet interfaces over SDH lines.

Women's Job Search Alert: 7 Ways to Watch How You Talk!

2008-01-26T00:08:00.001-08:00

By Paul Megan Getting ahead in the job marketplace . . . or on the job . . . is a special challenge for women. It shouldnt have to be that way. But, until the rules change, women have to learn to go with the flow to get ahead. The good news is that, if you can master some simple communication skills, you can put yourself way ahead of the male competition. But, according to career coach Molly Dickinson Shepard, you have to learn to talk more like the male dominated management youre confronted with. Essentially this means learning how to speak more assertively, she recommends. But without crossing the line into aggressiveness. Here are some rules that can help you make management sit up and pay attention: 1. Your tone and level of voice can make all the difference. 2. Dont challenge your boss or group leader in public. Dont embarrass colleagues and dont make personal attacks. 3. Never show anger at work. 4. Confident speech is good. Cocky is bad. 5. When youre in charge and a decision is yours, dont solicit everyones opinion. 6. Women like to make everyone feel included. But men see this as passive and unleaderlike. 7. Dont allow yourself to feel wounded by words of criticism at work. Effective communication is a critical factor in getting along and getting ahead on the job. Practicing these simple rules can give you a real leg up. The same is true if you are looking for a new job. Many times you will be meeting face-to-face with a male decision-maker who has expectations about how you should communicate yourself. Once again, assertiveness rules. To be assertive you have to very clear about what you have going for you that will attract the attention of the decision-maker. And then you have to be able to tell him with confidence. Its worth practicing for. Paul Megan writes for EEI, the world class leader in alternative job search strategies and non-traditional career advancement since 1985.

Cell Phones Accessories - Get More...

2008-01-24T20:25:00.001-08:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Martin_Smith]Martin Smith Accessories can complete an outfit, dress up something like a purse, a coat or shoes. Accessories can also add to the performance of something like a cell phone. Cell phones have almost as many accessories as Barbie does. Some accessories are practical, some are ornamental and some are just available. In the world of cell phones, there are accessories that are practical, they aid in the safe operation of the phone or allow you to carry the phone safely. Some are there if you want them like downloadable ring tones. I have broken the accessories down into groups to make it easier to describe them. There are operational accessories. These accessories include battery chargers. Bear in mind these chargers are often phone and model specific so that they are not interchangeable. There are hands free kits that are easily installed in your vehicle. These enable you to talk on the phone and keep both hands on the wheel. There are antenna boosters that help to strengthen the signal between your phone and its cell tower. These are particularly good in areas where cell phone signals are not strong. Batteries are available for your cell phone but they are made specifically for your model and manufacturer of cell phones.
An attachment is available to attach to your phone that will add some time on your battery when its low until you can get it charged again.
There are speaker phone kits. These are attachments for your cell phone that allow you to talk on the phone without holding your handset in one hand and trying to control your vehicle with the other. There are a variety of dashboard mountable holders that can be placed within arms reach. Cases and holders are available in various styles. There is the horizontal case that looks very much like an eyeglass cases. Vertical cases look like pocket eyeglass cases. Cell phone holsters are available for your belt or to be worn across you shoulder like you see policemen wear on television. Multi-use cases can be worn on the arm, on your thigh or on your wrist. These cases not only hold your cell but they can hold your license and maybe a few dollars. These cases are usually fastened with Velcro(tm). There is a variety of other cell phone accessories that are somewhat technical in nature. Internal cell phone accessories include downloadable games to help you pass the time when you are waiting for someone and downloadable ring tones these can be anything from the traditional ring to the William Tell Overture and traditional holiday songs. Cell phones are not just phones, they are mini computers with internet capability, organizers, calendars, note recorders, and to do lists. They also have number directories and record the numbers of callers and names and numbers of calls that you missed so you can return calls later. Text keypads might be available for your phone. Antenna boosters increase signals and there are radiation shields that are supposed to reduce your exposure to radiation. Other accessories that exist for cell phones are phone covers and face plates. Phone covers have two pieces one to cover the front and one for the back. Face plates just go over the keypad and front of the phone to add some decoration such as patriotic designs, animal prints. One of the cutest accessories is plush animal covers for cell phones. Not only are they cute but they actually are functional the cell is placed in the back of the animal. The body of the animal acts as a cushion in the event the phone is dropped. Cellular phones and the accessories that go with them can vary in price. They are all optional but some might be just plain fun. The thing to remember with cell phone accessories they are not necessarily interchangeable. Do your home work, learn all about your cell phone and learn how to operate it.

Relationship Advice: Voices of Experience on the Radio

2008-01-23T18:58:00.001-08:00

By Jeff Herring A few years back I was on a radio talk show out of New Orleans called "The Andre' Show" discussing "What Makes a Marriage Successful". The producers had seen my column in the New Orleans paper and decided to create a talk show topic from the column. So now I'll create a column from the talk show. Are you with me so far? OK. The format of the show was for the host and I to talk about what makes a successful marriage and to take calls from the listening audience. We received dozens of calls from listeners on what had made their marriage successful, and we were not able to get to them all. I was on as the supposed "marriage expert", the real experts were the people calling in to offer what had made their marriage a success through the years. Let's take a closer look at the themes and the advice of these experts on creating a successful marriage. Commitment The strongest theme throughout all the calls was the notion of commitment, both to the other person and to the marriage. This came from callers who had been married anywhere from ten to fifty years. And these were not people who had stayed together "for the kids" or because it was the "right thing to do." These were people who seemed to actually be enjoying marriage and their partner after so many years. Many of these callers spoke about how rough it was in the beginning. They each spoke about how it was their commitment that held them together through the early rough spots. As one caller stated, "The beginning can be rough, but staying through the tough times to get to the good times has definitely been worth it. Besides, it's what we said we would do in our vows." Shared problem-solving One of the key factors that seemed to keep the commitment alive was the notion of shared problem-solving. One caller shared the traditional cliche "We just don't let the sun go down on our anger." My comment was that there might be many people who never got any sleep with that notion! But what the caller went on to say was this, "We don't have to think alike, we have just learned to think together". Excellent advice. Another caller made this interesting distinction about arguing and problem solving - " We always make sure to argue as 'friends' and not as 'husband and wife.'" This one had me really curious, so I aked the caller two questions: 1) could they elaborate, and 2) could I use this notion in my work. They said yes, I could use it and went on to explain how when arguing, they focus on holding each other in the high esteem of a long time best friend, and not in the position of someone who is trying to beat them in an argument. The notion seems to work for them and also seems to be working in my office so far. Humor and Laughter. Putting your spouse first One gentleman said that he beleived that one of their secrets to success was that early on he decided that "whatever is good for my wife is good for me." Now pop psychology would say that this man is codependent, that is, too dependent on his wife, etc., etc. While there is a useful place for the notion of co- or over-dependency on someone, it's a notion that has been taken to an unhealthy extreme. Just think about it , you are "co-dependent" on the chair you are sitting in to read this articel, for goodness sake. What I beleive this couple has discovered is the power
of "interdependency", the ability to trust and depend on each other. He sounded very happy, and I'm willing to bet his wife is pretty happy as well. I received quite an education while in my supposed expert role, and these are just a few of the themes that came out on the program.. What I've come to believe is that the real experts are those folks out there who have created successful marriages. So here's a couple of questions: "What are the things that have made your marriage so successful?" "What's the difference that makes the difference? Let us hear from you at the web site below. After all, you're the real experts! Visit SecretsofGreatRelationships.com for tips and tools for creating and growing a great relationship.

Mosquito Farms? Is That What Water Gardens Are?

2008-01-22T18:41:00.001-08:00

By Scottie Johnson What is nicer that a lovely backyard garden pond. The lush growth rising above the water, graceful fish darting about and the soothing sound of the water. These are just a few of the reasons people are drawn to water gardens. But when you think about adding a water feature to your garden, you are torn, because you know that a charming pond can also be a mosquito hatchery. And, everyone is concerned; rightly, about mosquitoes and the diseases they spread. It is true, mosquitoes do need water to breed, but at the same time, there are so many effective ways to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in ponds, you should not let that stop you. Water gardeners are in a unique position; they can have wet spaces that can actually help stop mosquitoes from breeding. Just a few simple precautions are all you need to feel safe and enjoy such a wonderful addition to the landscape. If you have a water garden, or want one, try these suggestions. Have moving water in your water garden. Mosquitoes will not lay eggs in running water. The newly hatched mosquito must rest on the waters surface for a few minutes to let its wings dry. If the water is moving, the female mosquito will not lay eggs there. Get some mosquito fish for your pond. Mosquito fish, or gambusia affinis, are very aggressive predators of mosquito larvae. They are also aggressive to other fish and will also eat dragonfly larvae, or nymphs. If mosquito fish are too predatory for your particular tastes, several other types of fish readily consume mosquito larvae, such as guppies, killifish, and small goldfish. Koi are too large and will not target the larvae. Add Bti to your pond. Bti is a naturally occurring type of bacillus that is eaten by the mosquito larvae, and rapidly kills them. It is not harmful to fish, pets, wildlife or humans. It is sold under such names as Mosquito Dunks, or Mosquito Bits. Add dragonfly larvae, or nymphs, to your pond. They are voracious predators of mosquito larvae, and while the mosquito larvae stay in that stage for only a few days, the dragonfly nymphs stay in the larval stage for up to two years, and can prey on many generations of mosquito larvae. And, when they become adults, the dragonfly feeds on adult mosquitoes too. Invite toads into your yard. One toad can consume up to 100 mosquitoes and slugs per night. They lay their eggs in water, so the pond will attract them. If happy with its environment, a toad can grace your garden for up to 20 years. And the tadpoles will eat mosquito larvae also. As an overall precaution, get a propane powered mosquito trap, such as the Mosquito Magnet, to reduce the mosquito population in your garden area. These are the most effective mosquito killers around, and they will capture (and kill) the mosquitoes that your natural controls miss. With the growing concern about mosquito diseases, like West Nile virus, malaria, and dengue fever, it is natural to feel reluctance to add any water source around your home. With the right precautions, you can beautify your garden and still feel secure that you are not inviting mosquitoes into your immediate environment. If water gardening appeals to you, just educate yourself, take the needed precautions, and get ready to enjoy the beauty and serenity a water feature adds to your home.

Aromatherapy: The Power of Aromatics

2008-01-21T02:18:00.001-08:00

By Michael Russell "Every plant, animal or inanimate thing has an odour and one peculiar to itself, but in many cases it is not obvious to us. Thus things which appear to us to have no odour give forth one of which other animals are conscious... The two senses of taste and smell are akin to each other, wherefore it is through things which appeal to the taste as well as those which appeal to the sense of smell that men try to discover fragrant odours". Theophrastus When we inhale a pleasant perfume, we feel impatient for the next breath as we find it has a relaxing and helpful influence. If we pick up an obnoxious odour, we frown, become tense and irritable until we are free of its influence. Although the basic function of olfaction is in warning us of danger and so is a protective sense, another aspect increases our sense of enjoyment of life. We can increase our awareness of olfaction and even cultivate it in order to enrich our appreciation of life, particularly natural life, as when we inhale the perfume of a rose or enjoy the freshness of the forests. Our sense of smell is directly related to our respiration. It is intimately connected with the memory centres of the brain which file away previous sense memories and experiences. Different scents can unconsciously or consciously affect or trigger our moods, our deep emotions and our thoughts, depending upon our associated experiences. By a subtle whiff of perfume or scent from our past, we can be instantly transported in time. We all have been 'taken back' at some time by the reminder of a special scent or perfume. This demonstrates one of its greatest inherent powers. But this is not the only power that aromatics possess. It is interesting to know of the many uses of perfume in the past. The most common use of fragrant rushes of course was in attempts to overcome unsanitary conditions where bad odours usually had to be endured. in conditions where deep breathing would have been difficult. Cottage gardens, in addition to the pure aesthetical value, featured scented plants to help improve the immediate atmosphere. Perfumes were also used in the art of healing. It may seem strange to us that Egyptian priests of long ago used inhalation of a perfumed oil as a treatment for epilepsy or to ward off the plague, but there are many modern scientific tests involving the efficacy of essential oils as antiseptics, antivirals and in the healing of certain symptoms of disease. Beyond the obvious benefit and enjoyment of perfumes it is now becoming recognized that natural scents have a positive value in healing and helping the mind and emotions. It has developed into a subtle science with many practitioners employing the art in helping relieve psychological as well as physical stresses and strains. As the finest natural perfumes can help to make us feel good and to elevate our consciousness, or calm our mood so there are odours which are heavy, damaging to our cells and depress our consciousness. These can cause irritation to our brain and nervous system to the extent that even brain damage or mental derangement can result. Glue "sniffing" is a common example amongst the young people hoping for a passport to a heavenly state but sadly experiencing the opposite. A negative experience can result after deep inhalation of a chemical or synthetic aromatic substance. That is why any claim of aromatherapy is based upon the use of an natural essential oil only. Perfume directly affects the brain and has both a physiological and a psychological effect - an effect upon our respiration and breathing, as well as upon our moods and thoughts. It can also help to create a strong influence upon our environment and immediate atmosphere of the office or home, but care should be used in selecting sprays for this purpose. The science of aromatics is advancing, but is hampered to a large extent by the fact that it will always be subjective, depending upon the individual reaction. Valuable work is continuing with professionals who offer aromatherapy in combination with massage and relaxation. Although some would consider it is a rather superficial indulgence, others experience greater benefit if the appropriate oils and perfumes are applied. So it is vitally important that attention is given to the personality, character and needs of each individual, else such treatment can be reduced to just another technique for relaxation. When selecting a body perfume for oneself it can be that the somewhat confusing array of commercial products makes choice difficult. Remember the powerful and wonderful selection of natural oils which can offer you a simpler but satisfying range of attractive scents which can also make you feel good. Of the range of essential oils it is possible to select ones which are stimulating or calming, relaxing or vitalizing, masculine of feminine in influence - with some of the most popular being rose, lavender, pine, sandalwood, vanilla, bergamot, petitgrain, cedarwood, neroli, cypress, ylang-ylang, boronia, jasmine and lemon-each having a different application and each offering a unique benefit.

History Of Cell Phones-Dazzling Facts Every User Should Know

2008-01-20T01:59:00.001-08:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Matthew_Mills]Matthew Mills The history of cell phones finds its birth around 1980. A batch of approximately 2000 mobile phones was manufactured in Chicago. The intended customers were given a free phone to see if that type of business would work. They were not the first cell phones manufactured, but they were the first to be mass produced. The users found it so convenient to be able to quickly and easily call someone from wherever you were at the time. The initial cell phones were wieldy and cumbersome. In addition, they were unsightly as well as expensive. Today the cell phone industry generates an astronomical $120 billion in revenues. That constitutes an apparent mega monster in anybodys book. Should one or two cell phones go awry, it would be
understandable in light of the size of the networks. However, in most cases you can still rebook a return flight to Hawaii while at the same time make a weather check in Boston. As far as communication is concerned, todays phones are versatile and worth their weight in gold. It appears as if there is not much behind one mobile call because they are so easy to make. However, just attempting to explain the wireless networks can get perplexing. In point of fact, the wireless networks are a string of radio towers. Only a few miles separate each tower as they form what looks like a vast grid. The space from one tower to the next is called a cell. The landline telephone network is also connected to the towers. When you call someone on your handset, it searches for a signal from a cell tower.
If your handset cannot find a signal you will not be able to make a call. A major requirement for all cell phones is to have a System Identification Code, SID. It is a unique five digit number. The FCC assigns this number to each carrier. The SID code is put into your handset after you sign a service contract. Then the phone is activation. When you turn your mobile phone on it searches for a SID on the control channel. Your cell phones inability to retrieve it results in the dreaded no service message being displayed on your phone.
Conversely, should a SID be found, the SID in the handset tries to match up with the SID that was located. When a match is made your cell realizes that it is working from home base. Should they not match up, your mobile is said to be roaming. The system manager that your phone is roaming in, contacts the manager of your home system. Then your system manager checks its own database to confirm that your SID is valid. Your phone is then tracked as it roams through the various cells. Using someone elses network like that means added costs. The truth of the matter is roaming can hurt your pocket. Does the history of cell phones provide you with enough information to help you to start up your cell phone business? Well thats great! Follow this link. It will assist you in making a great start to your business. Grab it here: [http://www.wyclefinnovations.com/420]history of cell phones.

Blown Glass: They Do Still Make It Like They Used To

2008-01-19T03:36:00.001-08:00

By Allen Shaw Blown art glass is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing hobbies in North America... and it is about time. Glassblowing has been around since 27 BC in Syria, though the first evidence of manmade glass products occurs in Mesopotamia in the late 3rd century BC. But the advancement of actual "blowing" glass using a tube transformed the materials usefulness. The new technique quickly spread throughout the Roman world. Harvey Littleton, a ceramics professor, and Dominick Labino, a chemist and engineer, are credited with starting the most recent "studio glass movement" in 1962. The two held workshops at the Toledo Museum of Art. This is where the current method of melting glass in a furnace for use in blown glass art was originated. Thus, Littleton and Labino are credited with making molten glass available to artists in private studios. The actual process of preparing the glass for blowing is very involved though. The glass is melted in furnaces using the sand, limestone, soda, potash and other compounds. The actual transformation of raw materials into glass takes place well above 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. After the glass has melted, the artist uses a blowpipe to shape the glass. The blowpipe is about five feet long and is used for blowing a parison of molten glass. Molds are used to impress decorative patterns. There are two types of modern glassblowing but offhand glassblowing is the type most people picture in their mind when they think about this kind of art. The artist gathers a glob of fused glass at the end of a hollow tube called a blowpipe or blowing iron. The molten glass is then fashioned into its final form by various techniques of blowing and shaping with hands, tolls and molds. The second kind of glassblowing is lampworking. Lampworking is the softening of a glass tube by heating it in the flame of a torch. Next, the softened glass is manipulated into its final form by blowing and shaping with hands and tools. Any number of things can be created using either technique; sculpted animals, ashtrays, vases, aquarium pieces, beads, paper weights, perfume bottlesthe list goes on and on. Moreover, practically every major part of the world at one time or another in its history has been known, in some part, for its glass art. However, Mexican glass art is the most popular. Mexico is the land of the master craftsman. Known throughout history as being expert potters, weavers and wood carvers, Mexican artists have really made their mark as glassblowers. Beginning in 1542 in Puebla, these artists produced glass items in a variety of shapes with little more than a long pipe and a glob of melted glass. Experienced Mexican glass blowers will even add effects as small bubbles, blobs of color or pebbles to their finished to pieces to make them stand out. Authentic Mexican glass is easily identified by a ponti, or a place at the bottom of the finished product that indicates it was mouth blown. Another feature of Mexican glass is its individual nature. No two pieces are ever exactly alike in size, shape or design, which simply adds to the unique nature of each piece. But the most unique detail about this glassblowing is how little it's changed since its inception. For the most part, glassblowers are still producing beautiful works of art the same way they did back in 27 BCmelted glass and a metal tube. This is one instance where my grandpa was wrong. In the case of glassblowing, "They are still making them like they used to." You may use this article as long as the 2 URLs are hyperlinked. Allen Shaw is a successful author who provides information on blown glass and bottles. "I am the news director at USA News Network and have been working as freelance writer for 2 years. I've been published in a few magazines, newspapers and websites and my specialty up to this point has been movie and music reviews."

Get double duty out of any contact with your customers. If you sell products, put your contact information on everything products, bags, invoices sales receipts. Make it easy for everyone to find you. Give away something free. If you have a Website (and if you dont, then get one), give your customers something for giving you their contact information. Free Ebooks, reports, or software are all good choices (just make sure its relevant to your customers). Anytime you send your customers anything a product, a newsletter, an invoice include a coupon or information about your latest products or services. To save money on postage, if you have a brick and mortar store, put a copy of your latest newsletter or an informational flyer in your customers bag after each sale. 3. Reward your customers. Set up a reward program. Offer them a reward for anyone they refer who becomes a customer. Or give your customers a free gift when they spend $50 (or whatever amount makes sense in your business). When theyre eligible for the free gift, offer them an upgrade to something bigger or better for a few dollars more. Start a customer loyalty program. Provide customer only sales, or promotions. Let your customers earn points, or magic money that they can use to redeem your products or services. 4. Get ready for your close-up. When youre brainstorming about creating a promotion or advertising campaign, dont forget about your local cable TV channel. You may be pleasantly surprised by how low their rates actually are. Create your own television commercial or infomercial. Although you may not be ready for prime time, you can still target your ad to reach your customers. 5. Get involved in your community. Find a nonprofit organization that is doing work you believe in, and either publicly support their program, or be one of their sponsors for an upcoming event or fundraiser. Use the advertising spot to let people know about the fundraiser (and, incidentally, your business). You could put together an inexpensive ad campaign that will help those in need, increase your visibility and let your potential customers know that you're supportive and aware of the needs of the community. Make a new plan, Stan (Business Planning Basics): 6. Beef up your business plan. If you dont have a business plan, make writing one a priority. Your business plan is more than just a way to interest investors. Its a road map that will help you get from where you are now to where you want to be. That old saying, If you fail to plan then youre planning to fail really is true when it comes to business. "No need to be coy, Roy" (Ask your customers): 7. Get testimonials from your satisfied clients. But dont stop there. What about creating your own television commercial that you can run in your store? (With a video camera and a little ingenuity, you could even create your own infomercial that shows customers how to use or get the most out of your products or services. If youve got a Website, put an audio testimonial on there. (And dont forget to include pictures). 8. Speak up. Again, keeping in mind who your ultimate ideal customers are and what their most pressing problems are, write an article, offer a free seminar, or offer to be a speaker at local chamber of commerce or other organization or community meetings. Being perceived as an expert is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to get the word out about your business, and bring in more customers. "Just hop on the bus, Gus" (Expand your business potential) 9. Create joint ventures. Even if your primary business is a brick and mortar one, you can still create a joint venture that will help you save money by sharing the costs for advertising. What about creating a special sidewalk sale with other business owners on your street or in your neighborhood? Or finding businesses with complementary products or services to yours, and creating a package deal? If your business is only online, look for ways you can partner with other businesses maybe you could create solo ads and promote each others products or services in your mailing lists. There are a lot of ways you can save money and increase your client base if youre willing to get creative. "Just drop off the key, Lee" (Provide the key solutions) 10. Let your customers know you know what their problems are. It's sad but true that your customers don't care how good your products or services are. They only want to know two things: do you understand what their problems are; and can you solve them. Give your customers the "key" to their problems, and you'll have evangelistic customers who come back again and again.

Sexploitation, Social Influence & It's Behavioral Effect

2008-01-15T01:49:00.001-08:00

By Rion Williams The blatant social or 'commercial' sexploitation of women and the negative sexual transmutation of men is reaching a breaking point. This extra awareness and energy has to go SOMEWHERE. Guess where it goes? Out of your wallet. It's getting dangerous. Fortunately most good men don't turn to outlets like rape but they transmute all of that diluted and aware energy into profitable (for others) outlets such as video games, mens' mags, fitness, self-improvement, career advancement, material gain and more
only to find that doesn't resolve their situation either. They still want to 'screw' every hot woman in sight because they've become so 'aware' of the attributes of sexploitation. After all they have become the conditioned response and the reality around them reinforces this relational belief. They're so connected to it emotionally. They've given it so much 'added value' for the screen time it's given. If it wasn't always 'in their face' and literally provoking them, exploiting their one 'weakness' they'd be comfortable, sane men like they were supposed to be and used to be. The saturation point is even affecting preacher's and clergymen across the country. T&A is blatantly and subtly being waved in front of our faces and people can't see what's really going on. They see T&A everywhere and they are now responding to it unconsciously. They have been conditioned to be intimidated and afraid of a woman's body and sexual power whether she's
been on the cover of a magazine or not. They've glorified this concept of sexuality so much that they've become like Jim in American Pie around all of the women they communicate with. Bad news for other dating guru's but nothing they do or say is going to change the fact that they have the wrong relationship with women in the very first place. Why is it like this? Why do millions of men not know how to deal with women anymore? Because the 'Architect's' were successful in their plan all along. They influenced the behavior of men while dividing the sexes. Massively profitable industries abound off of the new discontent and fantasy divergence of the sexes. To uphold the social pressure/standard, women seek more fashion, more make-up, more man-repelling advice on how to be more out of his world. They also seek pent-up natural/emotional outlets such as romance novels (why do you think this industry is so big?), romantic comedies and ice cream with their small dog. Separately, men seek all kinds of outlets to transmute the exploited sexual energy that they're so desirous of yet always seems out of reach. Look at 'Tag' body spray. Look at beer commercials and men's magazines. All of it further duping people into the fantasy instead of reality. All of it is actually conditioning them
to BUY more instead of being effective in dating and relationships. And when they do connect men are taught to do things such as buying her flowers, expensive gifts and expensive dinners. Not only is that not effective (trading money for her time) but all kinds of other people in society get to profit off of the business created. All kinds of money is blown to no extent. What happened to just connecting with people naturally, being interdependent, not spending money on dates and instead focusing on each other? Wow. That wouldn't be very profitable for the people sending out all of the programming that builds up these dual fantasy worlds keeping men and women apart while not knowing how to behave around each other. It's up to men to understand this mass commercialism, the types of messages they're sending and most importantly the causal influence that the wrong relationship (sponge conditioned response) with it has done. The commercial sexploitation is going to reach a breaking point when enough men and women realize what is really going on. Actually that is more up to the men. They are in a position to take their power back while women will continue to wait until there is a stimuli that makes it safe for them to change their behavior publicly again...back to one of more flirtatiousness instead of sexier 'better-than-thou' prickteasing. Men like me who can create this safe natural reality around women are men who massively attract women because they know it's ok to be themselves again, to escape from the massive social
pressures and to experience happiness, emotion and attraction again. Why? Because as a man I am the stimulus in mating for women to respond to and open the path to a relationship. The real answers to success with women lies in relational dynamics and behaviorism. By being aware of what commercial sexploitation is at it's roots and how it's altered our dynamics,
you can begin to take your power back and be successful with women and dating while actually saving money.

Fossil Collecting Disaster In Indiana

2008-01-14T05:27:00.001-08:00

By Claudia Mann When fossil collecting, road cuts can hold many treasures for fossil hunters. But fossil hunters BEWARE! Those cuts hold something more: varmints that will hang on to your skin long after youve taken your fossil treasures home. A Lesson Learned
Were new at this fossil hunting thing. Oh, we found our share of relics when we were kids and young adults, but as bona fide rock hounds, we are novices. We learned the varmint lesson the hard way this summer. The Danger Sign
On a tip from a friend on a great place to find crinoids, we excitedly scrambled over a road cut in southern Indiana, paying no heed to the telltale signs that should have made us take care. In the excitement of fossil collecting, we ignored the water that was seeping from the cut...never thinking that the plants were anything more than a mild impediment to our rock hounding. Something Found Us
By the next morning, our armpits and waists were dotted with quarter-inch red bumps. Surprisingly, the chiggers hadnt cared much for our ankles! My husband, who grew up in the west, had never experienced the intense itching of those little critters. Days after we arrived home and still itching, he scoured the internet for preventions and cures. Oh, Now I Remember
I should have known better. I grew up in southern Ohio; chiggers were part of everyday summer life. I also should have thought about the poison ivy that was lurking there. Be the third day after we arrived home, my entire face was swollen and redand the itching was nearly unbearable. The poison seemed to spread for weeks. It was a full 2 months before the last of the nasty red patches were gone. Better Safe Than Sorry
So when fossil collecting take heed! Cover your body COMPLETELY when you go out in the field. Along with your rock hammer, carry some powdered sulphur to rub around your ankles, waist, wrists and armpits. My mother never went out to the garden without first dowsing herself in that natural chigger-repellent. Make sure you have access to a hot shower and use special cleansers for removing the urushiol (poison ivy sap or oil) that causes the watery blisters. A little consciousness about the plants and animals that shared the road cut would have made our excursionor the return from it, a whole lot more enjoyable! A Lasting Memory
We did find lots of crinoid fossils, but they were not what we remember most about this fossil collecting trip!

Secondary 800-Year Age of Adam

2008-01-10T04:22:00.001-08:00

By Clark Nelson The secondary 800-year Generation Cycle is the tool we need to resolve the genealogy following Adam. Genesis scriptures quote a primary age and a secondary age for each listed character from Adam to Noah. Collectively known as the Antediluvian Patriarchs, they have a primary age until fathering the next named character. Secondary ages measure time from fatherhood until death. Genesis 5:4 informs us that Adam lives for 800-years following the birth of Seth. Work at timeemits.com groups primary ages into one primary age category. The Antediluvian Calendar secondary age category starts with the first 800-year Generation Cycle. The secondary age category groups the secondary ages together. The secondary age category is total lunar/solar time, denoted here l/s, and includes all Patriarchs in consecutive order. Generation Cycles illustrate the wisdom of ancient minds. Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years:
and he begat sons and daughters: Segments of 800-years increment the secondary age category at the end of every primary age division. Extending the ancient recordings expresses by repeating the secondary 800-year age of Adam for Seth and the remaining characters. A repeating 800-year Generation Cycle was included with the secondary age for each later descendant Patriarch. Antediluvian characters from Adam through Jared utilize 800-year Generation Cycles as part of their respective secondary ages. The 800-year Generation Cycle was a single unit of time. Components from lunar/solar calendar systems assemble the advanced 800-year Generation Cycle. The begat genealogy following Adam lists a secondary age from the time of fathering the son, until the characters death. The original 19-year-l/s-cycle of the Jewish Calendar modifies to become a 20-year-l/s-cycle regarding the Mesoamerican Calendars. Multiples of 20-year-l/s-cycles form the secondary age category. Each year in the 20-year-l/s-cycle was a 360-day-Tun-year. Mayan terminology employs the prefix Ka in the word Katun that describes one 20-year-Katun-cycle. Twenty multiples of the 20-year-Katun-cycle permits the Mayan prefix Bak to describe a 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Increments of 400-year-Baktun-cycles count the secondary ages for all characters in the Antediluvian Calendar. Judeo-Christian history began with lunar/solar time reckoning concepts. Archaic evidence reveals that 800-year Generation Cycles were entrenched during the era of Adam and Eve. The time line establishes earliest Bible followers held acquired skills in astronomy, mathematics and communications. Actual observation through ancient eyes taught astronomers the 20-year lunar/solar cycle repeated the same heavenly sun, moon and star positions. The rational key to this calendar system accounts for precise fractions of degrees to the horizon, the phase of moon and gradual star locations. Lunar/solar time keeping order warrants a calendar system that later transferred to Mesoamerica either intact or in pieces. Located near Byblos and Ur, a small pocket of culture preserved the historical log in Genesis. The calendar numbers found in the Holy Bible is, was, and ever shall be -- everlasting. The eternal domain belongs to God. Beginning with Adam (generic man) and Eve (sunset, Ĕrve), the calendar is the human way to measure time and our precious treasure from the Bible. Message skills developed to permit transfer of the sacred calendar knowledge. The Word is the sanctuary for calendar material that began over 10,000 years ago. Genesis 5 holds the 800-year Generation Cycle legacy of the ancient past. Calendar science highlights more awareness and esteem for early people than what is currently agreed. Primeval humanity wrote this calendar material in the familiar style common to their culture. Countless languages and interpretations preserve the sacred calendar numbers. From original Hebrew and Greek, through Old English and modern, we have the astonishing knowledge of distant past history. Beyond the sheer numbers and impressive calendar math, this Bible study describes absolute time reckoning in the sense prevalent back then. Our modern task is to adapt present understanding to reflect a people with extraordinary abilities. Generation Cycles allow modern society to examine early scriptures based on original content meanings. Numeric remnants of the calendar and names attached to it constitute basic ingredients found with the Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican Calendars of the Western Hemisphere. Manifest in mythology and religion, proto-historic gods and deities aided formulation of the calendar. The Antediluvian Calendar uses an agricultural 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year within every 365-day-solar-year and extends by repeating 800-year Generation Cycles. Three different calendars combine for a hybrid understanding of extremely remote bonds in history. All three above were major calendars of the ancient world and commence between 4,241 B.C.E. and 3,113 B.C.E. years. Entwined with the Egyptian mythology and Israelite folklore, Mesoamericans add their beliefs regarding this advanced form of the calendar. A pattern sequence emerges to span nearly 8,000-years of history prior to the Great Flood of Noah. The first 400-year-Baktun-cycle begins the secondary age category. Mayan calendar architects integrated their base 20 numbering system for both days and years. Mere 20-year cycles brought the heavens to a very close arrangement compared to the original state. The 20-year-l/s-cycle required further calendar refinements. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle enhances lunar/solar timekeeping over 20 multiples of 20-year-l/s-cycles. Time squares from multiplying 20-year-l/s-cycles by 20-year-l/s-cycles. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle was a product of the Mayan Calendar and the comprehensive period to indicate 210-years of l/s separation time. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle doubles to get the secondary 800-year Generation Cycle age of Adam. The secondary 800-year age of Adam completes the first 800-year Generation Cycle. Later descendants of Adam continued to add 800-year Generation Cycle spans. Mesoamerican Calendars employed a 52-year Calendar Round that used both the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year and the 360-day-Tun-year. Working like meshed gears, 52-Haab-solar-years of 365-days each and 73-Tzolken-sacred-years having 260-days each pinpointed any calendar date. The 52-year Calendar Round is famous to archeology. After 18,980-days, the 52-year Calendar Round repeats. An intense ideology focused upon the Calendar Round preserved religious and social customs. The 52-year Calendar Round derives from the original calendar of Adam. A 5200-year Great Cycle in the Mayan Calendar expands the 52-year Calendar Round a hundredfold. Concentric time shifts the reference from days to years. The scale multiple is exactly 100 times greater in the 5200-year Great Cycle versus the 52-year Calendar Round. The Long Count Initial Series and the Great Cycle are variations along the same theme. The Long Count was a popular way to synthesize calendar meanings in the mid-twentieth century. Mesoamerican chronologists point to the cyclic nature of Mayan Calendar time. A Great Cycle consisting of 5200-Haab-solar-years follows the same sequence of 13 different 400-year-Baktun-cycles as the Long Count. Twelve consecutive 400-year-Baktun-cycles give rise to the presumed Mayan Creation date of 13.0.0.0.0. The Mayan Baktun numbers range from 1 to 13 in the Long Count Initial Series rather than 0 to 12. The Long Count is a number line, linear format developed for convenience. On the other hand, the Great Cycle presumes 12 Baktuns have already elapsed prior to 13.0.0.0.0. The Great Cycle repeats after 5200-Haab-solar-years or 7300-Tzolken-sacred-years, whereas the Long Count happens once. Adam and his descendants accentuate a culture with outstanding perception and reasoning. Adam first identified a primary 130-year age, which was half of a 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. Seth was the first masculine, solar-side time split written for two Mesoamerican 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The next l/s time split in the primary age category quarters the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle to derive the primary 90-Tzolken-sacred-year age of Enos. At the end of the primary 90-Tzolken-sacred-year age of Enos, Cainan was born. The calendar system of halving, doubling and dividing time predicated most history. Ancient theories of time reckoning divide the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year and the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle in half as a single term. The calendar applies numerical matching to obtain 130-days and 130-years in a single term also. The division of 210-days l/s separation time for a 20-year-l/s- cycle results in 105-days of solar-side time split. The calendar squares 20-years by multiplying a 20-year-l/s-cycle by itself. The resulting 400-year-Baktun-cycle numerically matches 210-years of l/s separation time and concludes with 105-years of solar-side time split. Significant steps in the secondary age category occur for each 400-year-Baktun-cycle. The 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle in the primary age category halves for the primary 130-year age of Adam at the completion of the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Midpoint age levels in the secondary age category are the odd numbered 400-year-Baktun-cycles. Total secondary age category time is 400-l/s-years that coincide with the end of the primary 130-year age of Adam. The second 400-year-Baktun-cycle increments the secondary age category and achieves the first 800-year Generation Cycle for Adam. Total secondary age category time is 800-l/s-years and Adams 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle is complete. The third 400-year-Baktun-cycle equally halves 210-years of lunar/solar separation to get 105-years of solar-side time split. Total secondary age category time is 1200-l/s-years to mark the end of Seths primary 105-year age. A fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle adds to Seths secondary age category. Seths secondary age category concludes 1,600-years l/s time. The end of odd 400-year-Baktun-cycle multiples are the halfway point transitions that determine changes in the primary age category. For example, the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle ending signals the halfway division of the primary age 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. The end of the second 400-year-Baktun-cycle also ends the first 800-year Generation Cycle for Adam. The beginning of Seths secondary age category starts, or begets, 105-years of solar-side time split in Seths primary age category. A third 400-year-Baktun-cycle ends the first half of 210-years l/s separation time, thus resulting in 105-years of solar-side time split. A pattern emerges to alternate divisions of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle with solar-side time splits in the primary age category. Given by Genesis 5:6, Seths primary age at the time of fathering Enos is 105-years. The first 800-year Generation Cycle finishes the secondary age category for Adam at the end of two successive 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The secondary 807-year age of Seth uses the same method. Seth repeats the 800-year Generation Cycle for the second time. Seths primary age halves 210-years of separation time to show 105-years of solar-side time split instead of dividing the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. Divisions of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle alternate with successive solar-side time splits. Are you a pastor, educator or a student of the Holy Bible?

Job Satisfaction: I Can't Quit; I'm A Star

2008-01-08T04:32:00.001-08:00

By Don Doman Whenever I hear the words job satisfaction, I think of the Country-Western singer/songwriter Roger Miller and his song Kansas City Star. As with all good Country-Western tunes there is a simple tune and a simple story involved with the song. The song starts off telling about a letter being received, which contains a job offer. Theres more money, expense account, and a car . . . and whats more the singer even admits that the offer is for a better job. He turns it down. Now, think of your employees. If they were offered better jobs, how many would stay and work for you? What elements make up job satisfaction for that better job? According to a 2004 survey for The Conference Board by TNS, a leading market information company (LSE: TNN):
The survey also finds that employees are least satisfied with their companies bonus plans, promotion policies, health plans and pensions. The majority are most satisfied with their commutes to work and their relationships with colleagues.
-- U.S. Job Satisfaction Keeps Falling, The Conference Board Reports Today Note that what most workers are satisfied with is their commute and their buddies at work. That doesnt speak well of their opinions about their jobs does it? According to the same survey, what makes job dissatisfaction? 40% feel disconnected from their jobs
66% of workers do not identify with their employers goals and objectives
25% of the workforce is just showing up for work. Job satisfaction comes in many guises. Perhaps, some workers feel connected, some receive recognition for jobs well done, some believe in what their company is accomplishing in their community, in their industry, or in the world, perhaps they have a manager who has inspired passion in their performance. In Roger Millers Country-Western song the story has a hero that believes his job has almost all of that. He is the host of a kids television show, where he has admiring viewers, hes recognized for what he does, and he is sought after in the community.
Better job at higher wages; expenses paid and a car; But Im on TV here locally and I cant quit; Im a star.
-- Roger Miller, Kansas City Star Do your employees have that sort of commitment? Do they have a passion? Do they feel connected to their jobs? Do they identify with your goals and objects? Or, are they just showing up at work for a pay check . . . which they could receive at some other place of employment? Think of what you and your employees could accomplish if you all felt like you were stars. I cant quit; Im a star. Are they? Are you?

Marketing Infoproducts: Package Your Brain!

2008-01-07T01:37:00.001-08:00

By Wendy Maynard As long as you are providing a service, there will always be a ceiling on how much you can earn that is based on the number of hours you can work in a week. Even if you hire an assistant and/or raise your rates, you are only raising the ceiling a little higher. The way you can blast that ceiling sky-high is to package your brain into infoproducts and sell them online. You have a particular system and unique way of providing service to your clients. Package it into an information product that will show people step-by-step exactly how you do it. The incredible advantage to this is that you can teach people all over the globe, day and night, every day of the week. With infoproducts, you dont have any limit on the number of information products you sell. While your service will always be limited by the amount of time you have to give face to face, your information product can teach countless numbers of people. Another advantage of packaging your brain into infoproducts is that you can develop your brain into more than one product. Your packaged brain can be sold on your website and at your public speaking events as CD sets, e-books, paper versions, recorded online seminars, DVDs, and so on. Because you will be developing a loyal client base who wants to learn more and more from you, you will be able to feed this hungry audience with your infoproducts. Here are other benefits of packaging your brain into information products 1. A low-cost option to use your services. By offering your clients infoproducts, they can purchase your packaged brain for substantially less than they could ever hire you for. For instance, a home-study course could provide a condensed version of what a financial planner or a coach provides to clients over a series of months. 2. A lower-risk alternative for prospects. Often your system serves as a doorway to you. Your prospect may study your system first and then later purchase your full-meal deal. This is powerful your prospect pays you to be your lead! She begins to feel like she knows you. Remember, people work with people they know, like, and trust. Your infoproduct is building relationships for you. 3. Your products build credibility. Like writing books, producing infoproducts will elevate your perceived expertise. You reinforce your brand and people find you trustworthy because you have outlined the exact steps to solve their problem. Remember, this is always about answering Whats in it for me? for your target audiences perspective. 4. You become more efficient. By turning your process into a system, you can show the precise sequence that helps your clients. Instead of trying to be intuitive about how to solve each persons problem, take him or her step by step through your process. You save time because you will know what each session will focus on and how long it takes to achieve results. Your customers will be impressed when you have worksheets and specific homework assignments for them to work through. It reinforces your expertise and makes them feel secure in their decision to hire you. 5. You can offer package options. Because you know each step of your system, you can offer your customers options. People are MUCH more likely to make a purchase if they have options. By giving your customers choices, they can purchase what is right for their unique situation. Your clients may decide to do one option now and add something else later. The nice thing about this is your customers get RESULTS and you dont have to work as hard because you have a SYSTEM. I recommend always offering options that set your customers up to work with you on a continuing basis. For example, a professional organizer could set up one package that includes an initial consultation, a clutter analysis, four weeks of room-by-room organization, and then four weeks of one-on-one work with the customer to teach them how to create systems of organizations. This option could include a Clutter Free Tips and Workbook. A personal trainer could offer an option called Fantastic Fitness! This 6‑month training package could include one-on-one workouts, a nutrition guide, a personal grocery shopping session to show how to Shop for Fantastic Fitness! and a goals and progress workbook. 6. You can turn your package into a very expensive option. Once you have your brain packaged, you can create an expensive option that will give your prospects a LOT of information in person. Most people that offer this generally offer a live event over several days. Because you are spending hours and hours giving your audience information, people are willing to spend anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 and more for this type of program. With a powerful sales letter that is placed on your website, you can bring 20 to 50 people to your event. You do the math. 7. You can use your system for your talking points. Once you have a system, it becomes much easier to make sales, give presentations, and offer public talks because you have specific talking points which will always tie directly back into your infoproducts. You can offer people a chapter or a sample session based on a section of your system to give people a taste of what you offer. 8. Prospects can become customers at many different price points. If you are selling information products, the going rate for an e-book is between $17 to $97 and for a teleseminar, the range is about the same. For a manual, the price ranges start to spread out quite a bit. Ive seen them between $100 and $1,000 depending on the complexity of the information. In general to command more than $100 - $200, you have to start including CDs, templates, and other value-added components. The information-product business is a wonderful one to get involved in and very addictive for both you and your customers (in a good way). I hope this is getting your brain percolating on how you can package your brain as a system and how it will make it SO much easier for you to both market and implement it. The end goal is you can attract more customers and make more money with less effort. ACTION ITEM: Take a look at your current offerings. What can you do to package your brain into your first infoproduct? What format will it take? How will you market it? What will it cost?

Shower Filters: Refresh Your life

2008-01-04T23:35:00.001-08:00

By Shelly Parkar You always wanted to get yourself immersed in the beauty of life. And wanted to have fun all the time. But the quality of your skin and hair is preventing you from having fun in the open. The fact is that you are having this kind of problem because of chlorinated water. Now the big question is why chlorinated water when it is considered safe? Many research works on use of chlorine in water have revealed the truth which you wanted to know for a long time. The truth is quite surprising. It has been found that chlorine is not safe for drinking and showering though it is being used to disinfect water. In fact showering in hot chlorinated water is affecting the two important things of your body that is skin and hair. What it does is it makes the skin dry and harsh and also hair appears tangled. The worrying part is that most people dont know about the harmful effects of chlorine. If an asthmatic patient showers in chlorinated water regularly, it can make his case acute. In the long run, it affects the eyes, lungs, kidneys and weight also. The matter of the fact is that gases as a rule are less soluble in hot water and when chlorine gets heated along with water, what chlorine does is it gets steadily increased in the air to an extent where it affects all vital signs of life in human body. Studies in animals have shown that chlorine adversely affects the disease fighting abilities of the animals. It exposes them to various kinds of diseases. If you are a parent, then you should worry for your child as chlorine attacks the airways of child more than an adult. The worst thing chlorine does is it makes you old by developing the signs of ageing on your body. Many people have understood the magnitude of this problem and have started using shower filters in their bathroom. Actually this group is in minority. There is need to create awareness among all people about the adverse affects of chlorinated water. There is also need to highlight the benefits of good shower filters. In fact, we have many shower filters of different shapes and sizes in the market. But the products of the best-shower-filters are the best in the segment. The innovative process of this ultra-modern shower filter removes chlorine from water and makes it fit for showering. If you are a good bathroom singer, croon your favorite song as long as you can while taking hot shower. So, install a shower filter in your bathroom, get refreshed instantly. Enjoy your life in the open without worrying about your skin and hair.

Composting and Composters: A Basic Introduction

2008-01-04T01:05:00.001-08:00

By Mark Falco Why Compost? Recent studies show that an average family throws away approximately 200 pounds of organic kitchen waste every year. Combine this with all the leaves, grass clippings and other organic garden waste accumulated over time and that's a lot of household waste being added to the already mountainous waste disposal problem. Some local authorities are refusing to take away green waste from gardening and others charge for the service in an effort to curb mounting costs and then when you add in the environmental costs of adding new landfill sites, road transport emissions from ferrying all this waste around and potentially incineration and the fumes that releases the environmental advantages of composting are clear. In slightly more selfish terms, if you are a gardener then you will know the relatively high cost of fertiliser. Well, OK an average gardener's yearly fertiliser expenditure is not going to break the bank but when you can get fertiliser for free out of the stuff you throw away then it starts looking extremely expensive. Composting simply makes good environmental and financial sense and it's so easy to do there's nothing stopping you. What Do I Need To Begin? A compost bin, box, enclosure or handy place to put an open compost heap. Cheap plastic composters and compost bins can be bought from all good garden centers and are quite inexpensive depending on your requirements. A plastic compost bin is generally the cheapest whilst wood composters are generally more attractive additions to your garden but a little more costly. An open heap (just create a pile somewhere) is also an option but it is advisable to have some sort of cover like a tarpaulin available for colder periods of weather. Another slightly different alternative to composting in the traditional sense is vermicomposting or wormeries. These use a special kind of worms to break down kitchen scraps producing a fine compost-like material fromtheir casts and a nutrient filled liquid plant food which is ideal for feeding indoor pot plants. If do a lot of greenhouse gardening or have a lot of houseplants then a wormery may be the best choice for the disposal of household waste. If you do not want to actually spend money on a composter then building your own isn't exactly difficult if you do not mind picking up a hammer and nails. Nail together a few wooden pallets for example and you've got an enclosure suitable for composting. For plans and ideas on how to assemble your own composter at little cost, simply head to your favourite search engine and type in phrases like "build your own composter" or "compost bin plans" for an endless supply of simple ideas typically costing under $30. Where To Put Your Compost Whether you purchase a composting bin or make your own composter you need to make sure you have a flat, well drained place in your garden not too far away that you begrudge taking your kitchen scraps out to it. Compost bins should not be placed on concrete, patio areas etc. as you want to allow the insects, worms and microorganisms which help degradation of your waste materials the freedom to migrate into and out of your compost without hinderance. In addition, choose a site which suits your climate. Warmth and moisture helps the composting process so place your composter in a place which receives a fair amount of sunlight and shelter from the wind if you live in a cooler climate and if in a hotter climate, ensure you give it shade to prevent it drying out. What Materials Can You Compost? Pretty much all your organic household and garden waste is an elligible candidate for composting although there are a few exceptions. Things to particularly avoid are meat, fish, bones, fats and oils, dairy products like milk and cheese, dog and cat droppings as these can attract animals, create foul smells as they degrade and carry nasty diseases. Also, whilst weeds and plants can be added, it is advised to dry out persisent weeds and remove seed heads before adding these. Ashes are also best avoided, as are glossy magazines although shredded paper and cardboard are fine to add. Feel free to add waste fruit and vegetables, crushed egg shells, coffee grounds (worms love them!) and tea bags, hair, leaves, grass clippings and other organic waste. As a general rule, if in doubt, leave it out but most organic waste will rot down just fine and if you shred it or cut it up smaller, it will compost faster. How Long Before It Becomes Compost? This depends on the balance of materials in your compost heap, the weather and the amount of time you can devote to the project. If you want to take an active managed approach to your composting then you can have afully composted pile in 3 months but if your only desire is to dispose of kitchen and garden waste in a more 'green' manner then it can take 6 months to a year or longer. Managed composting can produce a 'hot rot' with very fast results but it does require additional effort on your behalf to keep it going. A managed, hot compost heap with an excellent balance of materials can reach temperatures of 70 degree celsius but requires regular turning and nurturing with careful layering and balance of browns and greens in the mix, shredding materials and maintaining a good moisture level. An unmanaged cool heap is however much easier to maintain and rots down at up to 30 degrees celsius with little input from you. Just throwing your waste on the heap will give you a cooler heap which will rot down more slowly but is fine for green waste disposal purposes. There are ways to increase the rate of the composting process in both cases by, for example, adding composting worms, or by using an activator which help speed up the process. The addition of a handful or soil now and then or horse manure will also add micro-organisms to speed up the composting process free of charge. For The Best Compost... ...use a wide variety of different materials. The more varied the materials you add to the compost pile, the nutrient rich your final compost will be. Compost made from kitchen and garden waste is the best food for your plants and at the same time you are helping the environment and saving yourself and your local government money into the bargain.

New Rules for Revocable Living Trust Accounts and FDIC Insurance

2008-01-01T05:41:00.001-08:00

By Phil Craig On January 13, 2004, the FDIC adopted new rules for insurance coverage of living trust accounts. The new rules, which are effective on April 1, 2004, are summarized below. What is a living trust? A living trust (or family trust) is a formal revocable trust, usually set up by an attorney, in which the owner (also known as a grantor or settlor) specifies who will receive the trust assets when the owner dies. The owner keeps control of the trust assets during his or her lifetime and can change the trust at any time. How are living trust accounts insured under the new FDIC rule? The owner of a living trust account would be insured up to $100,000 per beneficiary if all of the following requirements are met: 1. The beneficiary must be the owners spouse, child, grandchild, parent or sibling. 2. Stepparents and stepchildren, adopted children and similar relationships also qualify. 3. In-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews, friends, and charitable organizations do not qualify. The beneficiary must become entitled to his or her interest in the trust when the owner dies -- coverage would be based on the beneficiaries who meet this requirement at the time the bank fails. Example: A living trust names an owners three children as beneficiaries but states that each beneficiarys share will pass to the beneficiarys children if the beneficiary dies before the owner. Assuming all three children are alive at the time the bank fails, only the children -- not the grandchildren -- would be beneficiaries for insurance purposes. (Thats because the grandchildren are not entitled to any trust assets while their parent is alive.) Coverage up to $300,000 ($100,000 per beneficiary) would be available on the trusts deposit accounts. The account title at the bank must indicate that the account is held by a trust. This rule can be met by using living trust, family trust, or similar terms in the account title. Coverage is based on the actual interests of each qualifying beneficiary. Unless the trust states otherwise, the FDIC will assume that the beneficiaries have an equal interest in the living trust account. Example: A father has a living trust leaving all trust assets equally to his three children. This trusts account would be insured up to $300,000 since there are three qualifying beneficiaries who would become owners of the trust assets when the owner dies. How does the new rule differ from the old rule?
Previously, many living trusts did not qualify for per-beneficiary coverage because they contained conditions that prevented a qualifying beneficiary from actually receiving his or her share of the trust assets when the owner died. Under the new rule, the FDIC will ignore these conditions for insurance purposes. In addition, the former rule required banks to keep the names of the trust beneficiaries in the banks account records. Under the new rule, a bank only needs to indicate in the account title that the account is held by a living trust. Note: The rule for payable on death or POD -- accounts has not changed: the names of the beneficiaries of a POD account still must be identified in the banks records. What if a living trust has more than one owner? If a living trust has more than one owner, coverage would be up to $100,000 per qualifying beneficiary for each owner, provided the beneficiary would be entitled to receive the trust assets when the last owner dies. Example: A husband and wife are co-owners of a living trust. The trust states that upon the death of one spouse the funds will pass to the surviving spouse, and upon the death of the last owner the funds will pass to their three children equally. This trusts deposit account would be insured up to $600,000. What if a beneficiary is not the owners spouse, child, grandchild, parent or sibling? The trust interest of a non-qualifying beneficiary is insured as the owners single ownership funds and would be added to any other single ownership funds the owner may have at the same bank, and the total would be insured up to $100,000. Example: A living trust states that the trust assets will belong equally to the owners husband and nephew upon her death. If the trusts account has a balance of $200,000, her husbands share -- $100,000 -- would be insured as her revocable trust funds and her nephews share -- $100,000 -- would be insured as her single ownership funds. If, for example, the owner already had a single ownership account for $20,000, the nephews interest ($100,000) would be added to her other single ownership funds and the total would be insured for $100,000, leaving $20,000 uninsured. How is a beneficiarys life estate interest insured? Living trusts often give a beneficiary the right to receive income from the trust or to use trust assets during the beneficiarys lifetime (known as a life estate interest). When the beneficiary with the life estate interests dies, the remaining assets pass to other beneficiaries. Unless otherwise indicated in the trust, the FDIC will assume that a beneficiary with a life estate interest owns an equal share of the trust with the other beneficiaries. Example: A husband creates a living trust giving his wife a life estate interest in the trust assets with the remaining assets going to their two children equally upon his wifes death. Deposits for this trust could be insured up to $300,000 ($100,000 for each qualifying beneficiary the wife and two children). Are living trust accounts and payable on death accounts separately insured? The $100,000 per-beneficiary insurance limit applies to all revocable trust accounts payable on death (POD) and living trust accounts that an owner has at the same bank. Example: A father has a POD account naming his son and daughter as beneficiaries and he has a living trust account naming the same beneficiaries. The funds in both accounts would be added together and the total insured up to $200,000 ($100,000 per qualifying beneficiary). Good luck and until next time, Phil Craig P.S.

Factoring. Cash Without Borrowing

2007-12-31T03:55:00.001-08:00

By Fred Coutts How to Increase Cash Flow Without Borrowing Cash flow is one of the main reasons businesses fail. At one time or another, every business, even successful ones, have experienced poor cash flow. Cash flow does not have to be a problem any more. Do not be fooled -- banks are not the only places you can get funding. Other solutions are available and you do not have to borrow. What is Factoring? One solution is called factoring. Factoring is the process of selling accounts receivable to an investor rather than waiting to collect the money from the customer. Oh, the Irony Factoring has an ironic distinction: It is the financial backbone of many of America's most successful businesses. Why is this ironic? Because factoring is not taught in business colleges, is seldom mentioned in business plans and is relatively unknown to the majority of American business people. Yet it is a financial process that frees up billions of dollars every year, enabling thousands of businesses to grow and prosper. Factoring has been around for thousands of years. Factors are investors who pay cash for the right to receive the future payments on your invoices. An unpaid receivable or invoice has value. It is a debt your customer has agreed to pay in the near future. Factoring Principals Although factoring deals exclusively with business-to-business transactions, a large percentage of the retail business uses a factoring principal. MasterCard, Visa, and American Express all use a form of factoring in their retail transactions. Using the purest definition of the word, these large consumer finance companies are really just large factors of consumer paper. Think about it: You make a purchase at Sears and charge it to your MasterCard. The store gets paid almost immediately, even though you do not make payment until you are ready. For this service, the credit card company charges Sears a fee (typical fees range from two to four percent of the sale). The Benefits Factoring can offer many benefits to cash-hungry companies. Rather than wait 30, 60, 90 days or longer for payment on a product or service that has already been delivered, a business can factor (sell) its receivables for cash at a small discount off the amount of the invoice. Payroll, marketing efforts, and working capital are just a few of the business needs that can be met with this instant cash. Factoring provides the means for a manufacturer to replenish inventory and make more products to sell: There is no longer a need to wait for earlier sales to be paid. Factoring is not just a cash management tool for manufacturers: Almost any type of business can benefit from factoring. Generally, a business that extends credit will have 10 to 20 percent of its annual sales tied up in accounts receivable at any given time. Think for a moment about how much money is tied up in 60 days' worth of invoices: You cannot pay the power bill or this week's payroll with a customer's invoice, but you can sell that invoice for the cash to meet those obligations. Factoring is a fast and easy process. The factor buys the invoice at a discount, usually a few percentage points less than the face value of the invoice. The Drawbacks People consider the discount a small cost of doing business. A four-percent discount for a 30-day invoice is common. Compared with the problem of not having cash when you need it to operate, the four-percent discount is negligible. Look at the factor's discount as though your business had offered the customer a discount for paying cash. It works out the same. Companies consider the discount the same way they treat a sales price: It is simply the cost of generating cash flow, much like discounting merchandise is the cost of generating sales. Factoring is a cash flow tool used by a variety of businesses, not just those who are small or struggling. Many companies factor to reduce the overhead of their own accounting department. Others use factoring to generate cash, which can be used to expand marketing efforts and increase production. Why Factoring Appeals to the Start-Up Factoring is especially appealing to young and rapidly growing companies. Since the process shortens their business cycle, these businesses can grow faster. The ability to make more products to sell while waiting for invoices to be paid is largely eliminated. Such businesses usually net much more profit with factoring than without, even when the discount is considered. Factoring vs. Bank Loans So, why not simply go over to the friendly banker for a loan to alleviate cash flow problems? A loan can be difficult if not impossible to receive, especially for a young, high-growth operation, because bankers are not expected to decrease lending restrictions soon. The relationships between businesses and their bankers are not as strong or as dependable as they used to be. The impact of a loan is much different than that of the factoring process on a business. A loan places a debt on your business balance sheet, which costs you interest. By contrast, factoring puts money in the bank without the creation of any obligation. Frequently, the factoring discount will be less than the current loan interest rate. Loans are largely dependent on the borrower's financial soundness, whereas factoring is more interested in the soundness of the client's customers and not the client's business itself. This is a real plus for new businesses without established track records. There are many situations where factoring can help a business meet its cash flow needs. It provides a continuing source of operating capital without incurring debt, which can result in growth opportunities that dramatically increase the bottom line. Virtually any business can benefit from factoring as part of its overall operating philosophy. Every good businessperson must understand the concept and benefits of factoring in order to operate as profitably as possible. The following chart can help you understand the differences between factoring and other sources of funding.

How to Turn Career "Mistakes" into Career Wins

2007-12-30T01:54:00.001-08:00

By Dale Kurow I recently talked with a client who was paralyzed at the thought of making another
mistake in her career. She was stuck and unable to choose a direction. Her fear of looking stupid, of
choosing another career that she wouldnt like, loomed over her. Her negative
thoughts were keeping her from making any move at all. Does this sound familiar? Have you pursued a career, or taken an advanced degree, only to find its not for
you? What is your willingness to try something new? If this rings a bell, then Ive got some comforting thoughts for you. Its by your mistakes that you learn and grow. You need to know what you dont
want to do, too! Making choices is part of being an adult and taking control of your life.
The more choices you make, the more risks you take, the more mistakes you will
make. That goes with the territory. Heres the key: Mistakes are a good thing, if you learn from them. Its giving
up and deciding to do nothing afterwards that is the mistake. When I was starting out in my career, I tried nursing school and dropped out after 6
weeks. I tried to make a living as a commercial artist and found I couldnt compete
with other talented designers. After I got a teaching degree, I discovered that the
city was laying off teachers. The list of professions I tried goes on and on. When all this was happening I wasnt very happy. I kept thinking, when am I going
to find the career thats right for me? And it didnt help that I had relatives who
reminded me of the smooth career trajectory of my smart cousin who became an
attorney. As it turned out, I found several careers that fit for a while. I worked in a corporation
for 12 years, was promoted 5 times and finally knew I didnt want corporate life
anymore. I moved on to the next right position. I never felt married to any profession. I had careers and jobs that suited me at particular times in my life. When I was in
my 30s and 40s, making my mark, earning a big salary, having a 4 -window office
with a view and a title were important. Now, I could care less about those things. Job satisfaction, making my own schedule, doing work that I lovethose are the
factors that drive me now. Which brings me to a critical point: If I hadnt made those career mistakes, I would
still be wondering, you know, maybe I could have been a (fill in the blank). I have no regrets that I tried things that I didnt end up staying with long-term. In
fact, my past mistakes enable me to use my experiences to guide clients. So what can you learn from my story? Wisdom and self-knowledge come with making choices; experiencing the

3 Tips for Online Dating (from firsthand experience)

2007-12-29T02:43:00.001-08:00

By Mike Santoro I had the same reaction you probably do. Online dating is for people that can't find a date. I mean, isn't turning to the internet just another way of saying "I give up"? But a few friends of mine tried it out and ended up dating some very attractive women. And not only were they attractive ... they were smart, funny and independent as well. And while they went out on date after date, I kept trolling the bars. I'll give you one guess as to who was having more fun. Now I'm not saying that every date they had was a winner. On the contrary, they swung and missed there fair share of times. But they were getting plenty of dates, and I wasn't. -------------------------- Not wanting to be the last single man on earth, I decided to give it a shot. Sure, I was skeptical at first. Even a little negative. But after my first date, I realized that my dating life would never be the same again. She wasnt "the one". Truth be told,I had to try for months before I found her. But she made me realize that online daters are normal people just like you and I. People that are either too fed up with the bar scene and games or too busy to get out and meet people. We also had a conversation that made that lightbulb pop up over my head. She asked me, "when you go out to the bars, do you know which girls want to be 'picked up' at that minute, and which don't?" "Not really," I replied sheepishly, thinking about all the times I didn't go up and talk to a woman at a bar because I wasn't sure if the guy in her group was a friend or a boyfriend. "Of course you don't," she said, "and even if we do, we still may turn you down depending on our mood, the crowd we are with, or fifty other reasons." Great, I figured. I'm going to be single the rest of my life. "But just about every woman that is an online dating site is there because she wants to go on dates," she continued. "The first obstacle is removed. You already know they are looking. Plus, they can 'review your request' whenever they are in the right mood to do so." --------------------------------------- Eureka! I was sold. And the more sites I tried, the more I realized how many single woman I never would have met without the internet. I started by just signing up for the free service, but quickly realized the best way to play the game is to become a member. (Most sites are around $25 per month to become a member and send emails. That sounded like a lot to me at first, but after realizing that was the price of a round of drinks plus tip, I decided it was a steal.) ---------------------------------- Incidentally, my friends always ask me what I learned from my experiences. So for you, and for them, here are three tips: 1) Just do it. Start filling out profiles on a few sites today. Its easy to procrastinate, but the sooner you get started the sooner you'll start to see the payoff. 2) Try more than one site. You used to go to more than one bar over the course of a month right? Why? Because you realized that different women went to different bars. Same thing here ... so try a few sites to maximize your pool. 3) Become a member. Lots of people shy away from paying $25 a month to become a member. But without becoming a member on a lot of sites, you can't email potential dates or see who is checking you out. I didn't see good results until I started sending emails, and the $25 or so was definitely worth it to me. ------------------------------------- You can read about the sites I tried, and my thoughts on each, by visiting http://www.guyadvice.net/Dating.

Testimonials: Let Your Clients Do the Selling for You

2007-12-28T03:21:00.001-08:00

By Martha Carnahan When I talk with my clients about adding testimonials to their marketing toolbox, I get a lot of nodding heads and agreement. And yet, many businesses put testimonial gathering on the back burner. It becomes one of those important but not urgent activities. Id love to see you turn up the fire on this no-brainer marketing tool that yields strong benefits at miniscule expense. Here are a few tips and compelling reasons to begin creating your inventory of client testimonials: Credibility We simply believe another persons touting of a business more than whatever the business may say on its own behalf. Testimonials provide external evidence of your success and abilities. TIP: Get your clients permission to use their full name, title and company name along with their quote. Human Interest People, and what they say and do, are always more interesting than straight-up information (well, to most of us, that is!). Your audience will read quotes from other people before they read your carefully worded marketing bullets. TIP: Put your best testimonials in prominent places on your website, brochure, proposals and other marketing materials. Trust Testimonials show your prospective customers that you are trustworthy with other clients who are willing to brag about you. TIP: Strive to create testimonials that convey specific benefits and results these are more powerful and come across as more authentic. Community Most people have a natural inclination to belong to and be part of successful ventures. By displaying your roster of happy clients, you invite new joiners into the fold. TIP: Be strategic about gathering testimonials from your ideal clients so that you attract more just like them. Heres an example from my own stash of testimonials (yes, I do follow my own advice!): Martha has a wonderful ability to bring fresh ideas to a situation, which continually helps you look at things in a new way. She is fun to work with, she makes me feel comfortable and challenges me all at the same time." ~ K.M., Senior Engineer, Colorado Springs, CO Take these steps to get started immediately
Make a list of your happy clients (okay, they are all happy, so this will be a list of ALL of your clients). Begin with those who you know are chatty and have been forthcoming with praise and positive comments in the past (some folks are just more expressive than others). Contact each client by email or phone or in person, depending on how they like being communicated with and ask if they would be willing to provide a testimonial for you. Make it easy for them to provide the kind of testimonial youd like to have by providing them with prompter questions. Examples: What have been the most notable benefits of using my services? What makes our company unique? How has your business improved as a result of the work we did for you? Make it easy for them, period. Some of your clients will zip off a quick email to you with a great testimonial. Others will take this on as a project and may be slow to get it done. They truly want to do a good job for you and may put more work into it than necessary. Take the pressure off offer to have a quick phone conversation with the client, where you can ask pointed questions and jot down notes from what they say. Then, you can write up a quote and have the client review it. This minimizes their workload and increases your ability to get a great quote from them. A win-win! No matter what, always give your client a chance to review the testimonial before you put it on any of your marketing materials. You want them to feel proud of how their comments are portrayed so they continue to be in your fan club. Going forward, be sure to collect a testimonial from each and every client after you complete an engagement the success will be fresh in their minds, which creates an even better quote. (Plus, you wont have to backtrack later.)

If you provide a service that calls for discretion, or are in a highly competitive industry that requires client confidentiality, you can still make use of testimonials, but may have to use the individuals initials or skip their identity altogether. A real name is better, but not at the cost of exposing clients who want or need to remain anonymous always give them the choice.

How to Choose a Marriage Counselor

2007-12-27T03:23:00.001-08:00

By Shelly Phegley You have made the decision to contact a marriage counselor. The next question is How to choose the right marriage counselor? The success of your counseling experience will relate directly to your compatibility with your counselor. Start by asking friends and family for a referral. A great resource for finding a marriage counselor is an online directory. Searches can be performed according to city and specialization. Both http://www.counsel-search.com and http://www.aamft.com offer detailed biographies of marriage counselors. Before you call a marriage counselor Ask yourself why you are consulting a marriage counselor. Define your issues as best as you can in order to communicate them to your prospective therapist. Outline what you would like to gain from counseling. Is it important to you that a marriage counselor be familiar with the issues at hand? Do you prefer a marriage counselor that is married? Is it important that your marriage counselor has raised children? Do you have a preference as to a female or male marriage counselor? How far are you willing to commute to a marriage counselors office? What hours are you available to commit to counseling sessions? Fees Decide what you can afford to pay a marriage counselor. There a several questions you may want to ask a marriage counselor in regards to fees such as: How much does the therapist charge per session? Does the therapist charge according to income (sliding scale)? Is there a policy concerning vacations and missed or canceled sessions? Is there a charge? Will your health insurance cover you if you see this therapist? Will the therapist want you to pay after each session, or will you be billed periodically? Relevant Questions Other questions to keep in mind while searching for a marriage counselor you are comfortable with include: How many times a week will the therapist want to see you? How long is a typical session? How long does the therapist expect treatment to last? What are some of the treatment approaches likely to be used? Does the therapist accept phone calls at the office or at home? When your therapist is out of town or otherwise unavailable, is there someone else you can call if an emergency arises? Are there any limitations on confidentiality? Credentials Marriage counselors academic degrees are different. The type of credentials may be of importance to you throughout your search for the right marriage counselor. M.S.W.: Master of Social Work Social Workers apply social work theory, knowledge, methods and ethics to restore or enhance the functioning (social, psychosocial) of individuals, couples, families, and groups, as well as organizations and communities. M.F.C.C.: Marriage, Family and Child Counselor An MFCC therapist has earned a Master of Science degree in counseling with a specialization in marriage, family and child issues. MFCCs are trained to understand problems from both individual and family systems perspectives; develop intervention skills; incorporate cultural, age-specific, and gender-respectful understanding in theory and practice; and handle clinical, ethical, legal and general professional aspects of their practice. M.F.T.: Marriage and Family Therapist A marriage and family therapist has earned a masters degree in social work with a particular emphasis on relationships. This professional is interested in who each person is within the context of their family, both past and present. Marriage and family therapy applies therapeutic techniques and focuses on issues of human development, communication skills, and interpersonal relationships. L.C.S.W.: Licensed Clinical Social Worker The LCSW is a state licensure designation for practitioners with a master's or doctoral degree in social work. Clinical Social Work, a practice specialty of Social Work, utilizes social work theory, knowledge, methods, and ethics to restore or enhance the functioning of individuals, couples, families, and groups, as well as organizations and communities. Make an appointment Once your search has been narrowed to a handful of marriage counselors, pick up the phone. Most therapists will have a brief phone consultation with you and answer most questions you might have. The phone consultation is a great way to determine if you and the prospective marriage counselor might work well together.

How to Properly Use Tooth Whitening Trays

2007-12-25T00:49:00.001-08:00

By Jared Winston When it comes to dental whitening techniques and bleaching methods, there are several options to consider. From toothpaste with whitening ingredients to bleaching chewing gum, the diversity of products available may overwhelm some people's ability to carefully decide on the best option and thus lead to improper use of some products. What is worse, it may lead to use of bleaching products whose formula isn't effective, or that are dangerous for a normal dental health. I will try to highlight some dos and don'ts of tooth whitening, in order to help anyone considering tooth whitening to achieve optimal whitening results without compromising their dental health. The first bit of advice is rather obvious: no matter what miraculous product you have seen on TV, you must consult a dental care professional before you start using any products. Your dentist will be able to guide you through the sometimes difficult process of choosing the tooth bleaching method that best suits your needs based on your mouth's health, how much whitening you need and how quickly you want results. Then, he will recommend what tooth whitening tray you should use, and also tell you what product is best for you. A dental health expert will design a customized dental tray that fits your own mouth and tooth size. A professional will also be able to suggest what to do with any artificial dental work you may have (bonding, caps, fillings, bridges, etc.), as bleaching will whiten natural dental pieces only. If necessary, he will be able to replace any non-natural piece with a whiter one, just to ensure all your teeth will be the same color once the whitening treatment has succeeded. Stay away from generic trays. These non-customized whitening trays will not fit your mouth perfectly, and may have several undesirable complications. For example, a tray that does not fit your teeth may allow the bleaching gel to be swallowed, and they also may cause injuries to your mouth's soft tissues. Besides, these trays often come with bleaching products that are ineffective, acidic or even toxic. Once you have your own customized tooth whitening tray and bleaching product, you must take a little time to prepare your teeth for the whitening treatment. Always brush and floss your teeth prior to applying the whitening tray. There is a good reason for this: the bleaching gel works better and faster on clean teeth. So, you will end up using less gel. Try to use your tooth whitening tray while sleeping. This way the whitening product will remain in contact with your teeth's surface long enough to reach maximum bleaching effectiveness. Besides, if you don't have to use it through the day you will experience less trouble on your normal daytime activities, mainly because it may be difficult to speak while having a tray inside your mouth, even when they are pretty thin. Visit your dentist on a regular basis to allow him to closely follow the evolution of the whitening treatment, and also to let him fix any problems that may appear. Remember, your teeth will resist treatment, but your gums may not. Let your dentist assess any possible damage to the soft tissue and give you instructions on how to avoid it. Also, keep in mind that tooth whitening is basically a chemical treatment, so avoid any kind of accidental swallowing of the bleaching product. More important yet, do not whiten your teeth if you are a pregnant or lactating woman, or if you are under 13 years old. Just follow this easy guide and you just might end up enjoying snow-white teeth in no time without hurting your health. Copyright Jared Winston, 2006. All Rights Reserved.

Beyond the Booth

2007-12-24T04:09:00.001-08:00

By Leanne Hoagland-Smith With the advent of spring, trade shows begin to blossom. Research suggests that tradeshows are where todays businesses invest much of their marketing budgets. According to EXPO Magazine, in 2005 revenue expenditures from booth sales will increase 27%! As these shows and conferences continue to grow in space and numbers, the challenge for businesses becomes how to maximize these shows to secure the greatest return on investment both in dollars and time. Define the Goal - Successful trade show marketing begins by first defining the desired end results to be achieved from attendance at the show. This goal should be written using the S.M.A.R.T. criteria Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistically Set High and Time Driven. Sometimes, several desired results are defined such as: identifying potential competitors; identifying potential customers; determining if this is a trade show where my company should exhibit next year; learn what the competition is saying about our product(s), etc. Through these written goals, then decisions can be made as to the number of people to send and what type of people should the company send e.g. engineers, sales, marketing, etc. Without identifying the initial goals, companies will receive costly unexpected and unanticipated outcomes. Ready, Set, Stop! - Goals are set, but there is still more planning before you walk through the exhibit hall doors. Do you know what you wish to learn from each exhibitor? The goal is maybe to identify the competition, but how you operationalize that goal is different for the companys engineer vs. the companys salesperson. Communication: The Key - Given that tradeshows are the "Mecca" for communication both verbally and non-verbally, the key is to be able to deliver in less than 15 seconds what you or your company does. If your tag line is delivered in an engaging manner, your visitor will ask a second question allowing for a dialogue to begin. Communication extends beyond your tag line. Calendars need to be blocked out to return all those promised telephone calls and send out any promised information. Follow-up communication planning is critical to achieving your goals. Creating a post-event mailing piece such as a thank you note and having them available upon your return will enhance goal achievement. The Engagement The Spot Light Is On - The doors open and all eyes are on you and your booth especially if you secured a high traffic booth. You are the consummate professional with the proper tools (business cards, pen, highlighter, Palm, exhibit hall map), professional appearance and your warm, energetic and engaging smile. Now is the time for all that planning to pay. During breaks, you may wish to use the time to walk the exhibit hall to make necessary, legible notes regarding booths, products, etc. Look to those exhibits that seem to draw attendees to them. In case you see old friends, acknowledge them, but dont linger as this keeps you from achieving your goals. At all times, keep your goal in mind so that you maximize your personal resources of time and energy. Before the event closes, check with registration to secure any available statistics such as a count of the number of attendees as well as information on next years event. What's Next - When the doors close and the tradeshow is over, whats next? The answer is simple FOLLOW-UP! Executing follow-up is probably where many businesses fail to leverage their limited resources and secure a positive return on investment. After the event, you begin to build your nurture marketing for each prospect to create Top of Mind Awareness (TOMA www.toma.com). In todays hectic business world, research suggests that you need to touch your prospect 13 times. Your follow-up efforts from phone calls to mailing literature are the second touch. Each 21 to 30 days, you again need to touch your prospect with a postcard, fax, email, newsletter or article. Your consistency during this process is what wins the race and turns those high cost trade show dollars into real sales and increased profits. Keeping track of all sales from each trade show allows you to better determine what to budget for next year. Sometimes this data takes over a year to generate especially if your sales cycle is 6 months or longer. Reserving your space for the same conference for a second time may be based on an overall impression from the first event, but by the third time, you should know if the conference or tradeshow is a worthwhile investment. Tradeshows can be enhance your profitability or turn into another drain on your marekting budget. However, through proper planning and follow-up, you, too, can go beyond the booth.
