Acquiring Exclusive Fresh Free Leads from Safelists
Many marketers generate their own leads. This is
accomplished through several different methods. One of the
most effective of these is the use of safe lists.
A safe list is a list of people who have agreed to receive
ads in return for the right to send their own ads. SPAM is
not an issue because all the receivers have opted in and
agreed to receive those ads. This is a powerful lead
generation tool when used properly.
Safe lists are abundant all across the Internet. You can
find them easily on Google, Yahoo or your own favorite
search utility. Many times there are entire communities of
lists so you can join multiple lists on one site. This is
very helpful top say the least.
Just about all safe lists have membership level options.
These are usually broken up into free, monthly/yearly and
executive levels. Let's look at each level separately.
Free membership. This option is usually very limited as far
as access and ability. Free members may not be able to use
HTML ads or save ads for future mailings. This can be a
stickler if you rely on HTML graphics like banners or
buttons to appeal to the readers. Mailings are normally
limited to once a week and can only be sent to other free
members. This can put a crimp on your campaign.
Paid membership (monthly or annually). This is the next
level of safe list membership. These members are given the
ability to use some HTML and save ads for future mailings.
Their mailings can be made probably twice a week to the
free membership and the other paid members.
Executive membership. Executive members have access to all
the benefits of the list. They can freely use HTML, save
ads and possibly a few other perks that make the executive
level attractive. These members can send their ads once a
day to the entire membership. All members, free, paid and
executive receive these ads. Marketers that have an
executive membership are pretty serious about their
business and can be fairly responsive.
A safe list can be a major source of generated leads. Since
you are using a funded proposal, you have something to
offer. This will appeal to the executive membership
especially. The important thing here is to grab the
attention at the subject line. Use an eye catching line
right off and get the reader to open the ad.
Once you have the attention, put your opt-in form inside
the ad to capture the information. Here is where a safe
list is especially powerful. Since your prospect already
knows you are a marketer, they expect a pitch. They also
know what it is you are offering, so the lead you gather is
targeted and specific. This gives you a straight line to a
conversion IF you can capture the imagination and interest
immediately.
A couple of things to remember are to keep your lines at 60
characters each and be concise in your language. Get to the
point while holding the interest and move the lead along to
clicking your link. They're already here so they are
interested, right? Move them along swiftly yet gently and
you will have a strong lead that can be stroked for many
mailings to come.

Traumatic Brain Injury and Hearing
Traumatic Brain Injury and Hearing
Because the inner ear is directly connected to the central
nervous system in humans, it may not be surprising that
hearing problems are common after a traumatic brain injury.
Tinnitus, a ringing, roaring or buzzing in the ears, and
hearing loss are two of the most widely reported side
effects of a TBI. Other hearing-related problems that can
stem from brain damage include hyperacusis, in which normal
situations seem unbearably loud; difficulty filtering one
set of sounds from background noise, such as a conversation
in a crowded restaurant; or auditory agnosia (also called
pure word deafness), in which the patient is simply unable
to recognize the meanings of certain sounds.
Ear Structure and Traumatic Brain Injury
Damage to the ear itself during a traumatic brain injury
can cause hearing problems. The inner ear is made of a
series of small and delicate membranes and body parts,
which can rupture during head trauma. The cochlea, an
important spiral-shaped bone inside the ear, may be
concussed by a strong blow, causing hearing damage when
supporting membranes are torn; patients with cochlear
concussions often develop vertigo as well. Another type of
membrane damage, perilymphatic fistula, causes hearing loss
as well as vertigo and nausea. Surgery may help to correct
this type of damage.
Doctors agree that damage to the central nervous system
also plays a major role in TBI-related hearing problems,
especially those with a cognitive basis. Among many others,
a 2005 study by doctors at Haifa University in Israel
showed that TBI patients who complained of hearing problems
(including tinnitus) had significantly reduced function in
a part of the brain that regulates hearing, compared to TBI
patients without hearing complaints as well as people
without head injuries. A German study from 2004 concluded
that post-concussion syndrome led to hearing problems, even
a year after the trauma, and that widespread damage to
connections between the nerves of the central auditory
pathway was probably to blame.
Brain Injury-Related Hearing Loss Takes Toll on Everyday
Life
Because hearing loss limits or takes away one of the
primary tools humans use to communicate, it has the
potential to complicate many of the other side effects of
brain damage, particularly cognitive and social problems.
For some TBI victims, cognitive issues, such as trouble
"finding words," already interfere with their ability to
communicate. And inappropriate behaviors are only
exacerbated if the patient genuinely cannot hear what is
going on.
If You Suffer From TBI-Related Hearing Problems
Some hearing problems disappear a few weeks after the
accident that led to the patient's brain damage, but others
are lifelong afflictions. Some patients may not even notice
their hearing problems until they are diagnosed by a doctor
or audiologist. TBI experts, including the National
Institutes of Health, recommend that patients who have
sustained brain damage consult an audiologist, even if it
seems like nothing is wrong. You may also wish to contact
an experienced TBI attorney to evaluate your potential
brain injury lawsuit and help you secure compensation for
your injuries.

Include Team Members In Setting Goals for the Year
Include Team Members In Setting Goals for the Year
Ah yes, the new year. That time when, regardless of past
failures and disappointments, we hopefully make promises to
ourselves and great plans for the next twelve months. We do
this at home, and we also do it at work. As managers, we
spend many hours planning our strategy for the department
and what it should achieve during the year. But do we
include our team members in setting goals for the year?
Usually not.
That's a great pity, because when it comes to implementing
our great plans, all members of the team, all employees,
all staff members, everyone must play a part. Oh sure, you
are excited --- after all, they're your plans. But how
enthusiastic is everyone else? Can you really expect them
to share your enthusiasm and commitment if they had no
opportunity to share the vision, no part in creating the
strategy, no chance to add their ideas and insights?
How difficult would it be to include team members in
setting goals for the year? Not very. All it takes is the
will to do it and a few logistical arrangements. Here's a
suggested plan of action:
1. Let everyone know about the new process. If you are a
department head or team leader, and if it is logistically
feasible, do this in a group meeting. Otherwise, arrange a
telephone conference. Either method is better than an
e-mail broadcast, because you want to send a message right
away that this is a "human" process and not just another
layer of bureaucracy. This first communication could
include a summary of the past year's achievements and
challenges, and how these affect plans for next year. Then
offer a very broad statement of what you hope to achieve in
the next twelve months, one that allows for lots of ideas
and input on how this can be done.
2. Allow time for people to think about the subject and
develop their ideas.
3. Set up a strategy session, preferably with everyone in
the same room. This meeting should be facilitated in a way
that allows people to voice their ideas and opinions but
does not intimidate. Their ideas may be accepted, postponed
or rejected, but never ridiculed. Everyone should be
treated with respect and appreciated for their input. The
World Cafe process is ideal for this part of the plan, and
can bring out deep, clear and unexpected insights that can
make your strategy come alive.
4. Using the information from the session, create a
strategic plan as well as the tactical plans need to bring
it to fruition. This process MUST be completed as quickly
as possible, and no later than two weeks after the meeting,
in order to capitalize on the team spirit created. Any
delay will dilute the positive effects and create an
impression that nothing has changed.
5. Provide everyone with a copy of the plan documents, with
a reminder of their commitments to follow through (this
commitment will be part of the World Cafe process).
6. Set up a mechanism for ongoing group monitoring,
allowing for necessary course corrections as appropriate
throughout the year, based on what is actually happening.
This should culminate with a year-end look back at the
plans and implementations, which automatically sets the
stage for next year's goal setting process.
Include team members in setting goals for the year,
communicate with them appropriately and honestly about the
goals at all stages, and prepare to be amazed at the
positive results that can be achieved.

Probiotics Are Essential for Our Health
Probiotics Are Essential for Our Health
Most of us are unaware that our health is directly
connected to billions of beneficial microorganisms that
live in our gastrointestinal tract. These microorganisms
help our body break down and absorb food, produce essential
nutrients, and help to clean putrefaction and waste. The
microorganisms also kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi
and yeast. These microorganisms are beneficial bacteria
i.e. flora that make up over two pounds of our body weight.
We need to maintain an adequate amount of beneficial
bacteria i.e. flora to counteract harmful bacteria's
potential harm to our health.
So why has it become necessary and essential for us to add
natural probiotic supplements to our diet? Our current
food production in our country has become that of highly
processed foods that are full of chemicals, simple sugars,
and carbohydrates. This means that we are eating foods that
are essentially without anything living. A very large
portion of our agricultural production has used a great
amount of pesticides and fertilizers that have almost
depleted living soil-based microorganisms that are
essential for our health. It has become standard practice
to use antibiotics for any ailment that we may be
experiencing. Anti means against biotics. In other words,
antibiotics kill all the bacteria in our intestinal tract
whether it's beneficial bacteria or harmful bacteria..
Farm animals are given antibiotics in their feed and we in
turn ingest the antibiotics when we eat meat. The chlorine
in our water kills our intestinal flora. Alcoholic
beverages kill the flora we need and leaves an environment
for the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast and fungi.
Overuse of intestinal cleaners and colonics for detoxing
our intestines removes much of our beneficial flora. The
use of radiation and chemotherapy also kills our beneficial
intestinal flora.
Our modern food processing, diet, and other practices can
leave our digestive system without the essential flora it
needs to keep us healthy. As a result, many of us
experience acid reflux, depleted immune systems,
constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, candida, food
allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome and perhaps a cancerous
condition.
When we use probiotic supplements, the supplements are
designed to withstand the acidic condition of our stomach
which can kill beneficial bacteria. A probiotic must be
resistant to gastric, bile and pancreatic juices in order
to reach our colon alive. The probiotics then attach to
the wall of our intestine and increase the number of
beneficial bacteria and lowers the amount of harmful
bacteria.
Probiotics break down hydrocarbons i.e. divides the food we
eat into it's most basic components so it can be absorbed
by our digestive system therefore increasing the amount of
nutrition we need for energy and cellular production and
repair. In addition, probiotics get beneath the layer of
sludge and accumulation of waste on our intestine walls
attach themselves and loosens the waste and decay so that
it can be eliminated. The sludge and decay often keep
toxin e.g. heavy metals in our bodies. When the waste
remains on our intestinal wall it can lead to either
constipation or diarrhea. Probiotics relieve constipation
or diarrhea giving us a healthy regular elimination of
waste. Therefore, probiotics clean our intestinal system
removing toxins so eliminating the need for use of
colonics and heavy intestinal cleansers.
Probiotics produce important enzymes and increase the
availability of vitamins and nutrients, especially B
vitamins and vitamin K, lactase, essential fatty acids and
calcium. The beneficial bacteria contained and supported
by probiotic supplements strengthen our immune system
therefore increasing our resistence to viruses, allergies,
candida, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Probiotic beneficial
bacteria work with tissue and cells to metabolize proteins
and eliminate toxins from our bodies. Probiotics help to
kill viruses and parasites. Probiotics help to lower
cholesterol. Probiotics help prevent yeast and fungal
infections and even eliminate them if they are already in
existence. Probiotics stimulate B-Lymphocyte and similar
natural anti-bodies that help fight infections. Probiotics
produce Lactoferrin which is an iron-binding protein needed
to obtain iron from our foods and facilitate the absorption
of iron that we need for our oxygen carrying blood cells.
Probiotics also stimulate our body's natural production of
alpha-interferon which is essential for proper immune
system response and effectiveness.
Since our skin is a major part of our respiratory system
and waste elimination system, when our intestinal system is
not able to function properly, our skin then is used to
eliminate waste from our bodies. This results in skin
irritations and disorders. Probiotics increase the waste
and toxin elimination from our intestinal system making it
unnecessary for our skin to be used for excess waste
elimination. Therefore, with the use of probiotics, skin
irritation and disorders are prevented and often eliminated
if they already exist. Since our skin is no longer being
burdened by waste elimination, body odor is eliminated
along with bad breath. Not just our skin is cleared of
toxic waste when our intestinal system if functioning
properly with healthy flora, but also our lungs and other
vital organs freed of toxic waste.
It is indeed unfortunate that our modern food production
and processing practices have made it necessary for us to
use probiotic supplements in order to have a healthy
digestive system and to be able to properly eliminate the
toxins i.e. chemicals and heavy metals that have become a
part of our food production. It is also unfortunate that
our over use of antibiotics, synthetic prescription drugs
and chemicals such as chlorine, which were supposed to keep
us healthy are actually causing us difficulty as they kill
the healthy flora that we need in order to live. We need
to be aware of these developments take care of ourselves
with the use of probiotics. Probiotics are essential for
our health.

Jesus and the rejection of earthly power-now that's the meaning of Christmas!
Jesus and the rejection of earthly power-now that's the meaning of Christmas!
I hope this article finds you happy and in good health.
Rhiannon and I have just finished opening our presents and
are looking forward to going over to my Aunt Rose's house
in a couple of hours to enjoy the annual Christmas Turkey
and gift exchange with the extended Taylor family. Rhiannon
will start making her world famous corn casserole in a few
minutes-world famous at least in the Taylor household!
As we're all supposed to do this time of the year, I've
been reflecting a lot about the true meaning of Christmas
over the past few days. My heart goes out to the worlds
pastors who have to find new shades of meaning and
spiritual insight every single year as they prepare their
Christmas sermons to deliver to their congregations. Being
that it's Christmas day, this message may be a little late
for pastors and missionaries looking for last minute
enlightenment, but it's not late in terms of relevance for
the new year.
First I'll start with what we all know and understand.
Unless your last name is Scrooge and your first name is
Grinch, you probably realize that Christmas is about the
generosity of giving and not the vanity of
commercialization. With the slew of Hallmark and ABC Family
Christmas specials this time of year, I find it odd that
even Hollywood sells the message of faith, family and
values this time of the year.
This next thought may be a bit Pollyanna-ish, but I think
that both sides of the "Merry Christmas" and "Happy
Holidays" war need to lay down their arms and take a
breather, if not for political and theological reasons,
then at least for practical ones. Having to correct people
every time they use a holiday greeting that you don't like
can get exhausting after a while. As much as I would like
to continue my soapbox on this one, you can consider that a
freebie.
The real message I'd like to share with you this Christmas
is this. In light of my debate with a radical jihadist in
London and my recent trip to the West Bank, one of the
ideas that has turned my world upside down and caused me to
reevaluate nearly everything I have held dear in terms of
my identity and values is the idea that one of the central
themes of the New Testament is a complete and utter
rejection of the value of exercising earthly power and
authority over others. When Jesus said, "The meek shall
inherit the earth," the people of His day knew exactly what
He meant. On the day of judgment, those who will be left
standing are not the Caesars and the centurions, but the
cooks and the carpenters. Practically the entire life and
ministry of Jesus conveys the idea that the Kingdom of God
belongs to the powerless, not the powerful.
Jesus said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord
it over them, and those who are great exercise authority
over them." In an age where politicians, even sincere
politicians, are all-too-eager to invoke the name of Jesus
as a stamp of divine approval upon their bid for the White
House, I think a re-evaluation of the role of the Church,
and how the Church interacts with earthly power is in
order. Just as not everything that glitters is gold, I have
a feeling that not everything that calls itself Christian
is truly Christian.
Jesus was born in a stable and raised the son of a
carpenter. He never levied a tax and He never waged a war.
Although He could have used His birthright as heir to the
Davidic throne to "restore the Kingdom to Israel", He
deliberately chose not to. Instead, He put the priority on
taking on the form of a servant and establishing God's true
kingdom in the hearts of men. He had no earthly agenda but
to love and to serve, especially those who lived with a
different set of values than His own. Jesus managed to
befriend the tax-collector, the zealot, the Samaritan, and
the prostitute alike, calling them to repent.....without
pursuing an earthly agenda to push them to the fringes of
society.
As we head into the new election year, I think it would be
wise for us all to remember that the world's only true
"Christian" king (or ruler or politician or whatever term
you would like to insert to denote earthly power) died on a
wooden cross, suffering for the souls of the very people
who were crucifying Him. May the example of Jesus be the
true inspiration for us all to build a better world as we
head into the new year.
Merry Christmas,
Aaron

How To Write Your Resume to Overcome Age Bias
How To Write Your Resume to Overcome Age Bias
DO trim your resume back to the most recent 10, 15, or 20
years. Your resume is a marketing document. It is NOT an
autobiography. Readers want to know what you have done
recently to add value in the companies you have been
associated with. Skills, experiences, and achievements from
25 or 30 years ago or more are almost certainly irrelevant
at this point. But, if those early experiences are still
relevant, you do have options...
DON'T be afraid to mention early experience that is still
relevant. Just don't mention the dates associated with it.
You might choose to highlight the undated achievements or
qualifications in the summary profile section of your
resume. Or, another effective strategy is to summarize that
experience at the end of your resume. Your description
should be concise. Just one or two sentences that begin
with the words "Additional experience includes..." will
usually suffice.
DO be creative and strategic in how you list employment
dates on your resume. Don't feel locked in by the
traditional way of including dates. For example, I recently
worked with an executive candidate who had three years with
his current employer but more than 35 years of progression
with his last employer. Traditionally, on a resume, you
would show the total span of years with each company and
then the dates in each position (illustrating progression).
But this method clearly wouldn't work for this client
because he began working for that last employer sometime in
the mid 1960s - a date that we did not want to include on
the resume. So instead, we left off the total dates with
each company and just listed dates in each position, going
back approximately 15-20 years. Like this:
Employer 1, location
Current position (20xx - Present)
Employer 2, location
Position a (20xx - 20xx)
Position b (19xx - 20xx)
Position c (19xx - 19xx)
Position d (19xx - 19xx)
** Additional experience includes...
DON'T leave dates of education off of your resume unless
you have a good strategic reason to do so. One of the most
common errors that I see are dates of education left off
the resume when they should not be left off. For example,
if you earned your degree 15 years ago and began working in
your current career track the same year, you will actually
raise questions about your age by not including your degree
dates. The dates on your degree tend to close the "loop"
and eliminate age-related questions in the mind of the
resume recipient. But if you leave the dates off, the
recipient will assume you are hiding your age and are older
than your work experience indicates. On the other hand, if
you have shortened your resume to the most recent 10, 15,
or 20 years, and your most recent degree was earned earlier
than a year or two before that cut off point, it is
probably in your best interest to leave the dates off the
resume.
DO be proud of your age and the associated experience and
perspective that you bring to your employers. Even though -
in most cases - you should not emphasize and draw attention
to your age, do recognize that you bring to the workplace a
value offering unmatched by your younger competitors in the
job market. Your self-assurance and confidence will come
across in your resume and during interviews.
DON'T forget to fill your resume with achievements and
results that illustrate your personal brand and the unique
promise of value that you bring to the workplace. Position
yourself for the position. Demonstrate through past
accomplishments and value add that you are the perfect
candidate for the job. When your resume is filled with
achievements that illustrate you will deliver a strong
return on an employer's investment in hiring you, your age
will NOT even be an issue.
DO create a resume that showcases achievements that
illustrate the traits most valued in older workers - your
credibility, your depth and breadth of experience, your
judgment and decision-making abilities, your range of
professional contacts, your work ethic and reliability,
your emotional stability, and your commitment to company
goals. Subtly, in your resume and cover letter, touch on
achievements that illustrate a high energy level, strong
technical skills, and adaptability to change.

You Can Get a Home Loan with Bad Credit - Find Out How
You Can Get a Home Loan with Bad Credit - Find Out How
If you have bad credit, then you know how hard it is to get
a loan of any type. Getting a home loan with bad credit is
at the top of the list of loans that are difficult and
tedious to secure. If you have bad credit, then lending
companies see you as a risk and desperate compared with
those having good credit. Lending companies will take
advantage of your desperation and your bad credit by
offering you high interest loans and a limited choice of
repayment plans. In the long run, this can lead you to
worse credit and possibly foreclosure if you cannot make
your mortgage payments.
Despite the advantage mortgage lenders seem to have, there
are ways to circumvent the lending practices aimed at those
with bad credit. One possible solution is to provide
collateral. Collateral is essentially property that the
loan is held against. With collateral, you can secure the
mortgage at a lower interest rate and better loan terms
than without it. The downside of securing the loan with
collateral is that if you miss payments, not only will your
new home enter foreclosure, but you will lose the property
you put up as collateral.
So you don't have property to put up as collateral for your
mortgage? Well, this is often the case. There is another
option for those without property to secure a mortgage.
This option is research. Researching a home loan is an
important part of getting a mortgage with bad credit.
Researching home loan options will provide you with the
best options available to you for a home loan.
Your first step in doing research for a home loan with bad
credit is on the internet. The internet is a great way to
start because most lending companies are online and will do
free quotes. With your research, make sure you fill out as
many free quotes as possible. This will increase your
opportunities for a home loan with terms you can live with.
While many will overlook these free quotes, you should not.
After receiving your free quotes, make sure you compare the
options each lender is offering. You need to be able to
live with the terms of the loan in the present and in the
future. Don't be afraid to look up loan terms you are not
familiar with. Again, the internet is a good place to begin
your search. Understanding the loan terms is important to
understanding their effect on your credit and your future
financial situation.

Health Savings Accounts Appeal to Forward Thinking Individuals
Health Savings Accounts Appeal to Forward Thinking Individuals
By choosing a Health Savings Account, one is betting on
themselves... in a way. If you stay healthy, then with a
typical health insurance plan you're just out a lot of
money. With a Health Savings Account, not only will you
pay significantly less in premiums, but at the end of the
year you have a nice deposit of up to $5,650 sitting in
your account. Money which you didn't pay any federal
income taxes on, state income taxes (with the exception of
four states) on, or social security taxes.
Let's say a 30-year old man with a family opens a Health
Savings Account and has a high-deductible health plan that
allows him to fund the account with $5,650 each year. If
he takes $1,000 or less out each year for medical expenses,
and earns a 10% return on his money, he'll have $1,422,878
when he retires.
The best way to accumulate this much money in your Health
Savings Account is to stay healthy, so that you don't need
to access those funds to pay for medical expenses. The
good news is that the vast majority of diseases and
disorders people have are the direct result of their
lifestyle choices. High blood pressure, cancer, diabetes,
Alzheimer's, digestive disorders, endometriosis,
osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and more, are all largely
preventable.
The Average Guy Doesn't Get It
The average American lives as if social security, a few
prescriptions, and some good luck will take care of him in
his later years. So he saves little for retirement. He
eats packaged foods like French fries, chips, cokes, pasta,
and cold cuts. And over the years he puts on "a few extra
pounds", and he gets out-of-shape, and he gets high blood
pressure, and high cholesterol, and eventually heart
disease, cancer, diabetes, or Alzheimer's.
Insurance Companies Get It
Some insurance companies do understand the tremendous
impact lifestyle can have on health, and are beginning to
institute programs to encourage healthy lifestyles among
their customers. Healthy policyholders will use their
coverage less, resulting in lower rates for them, and
better customer retention and higher profitability for the
insurance company. Some insurance companies started new
programs designed to help reward their customers for
staying healthy. The programs provide health risk
assessments, personalized health-improvement plans, email
access to trainers, counselors, and nutritionists, and even
credits that can be redeemed for health-related merchandise.
HSA Owners Get It
People who open Health Savings Accounts are proactive.
They act ahead of time, and think about how their actions
now will affect their future. That is why they put away
tax-deferred money for future possible health expenses, and
that is why many are also interested in taking a proactive
approach to their health. Choosing to live an
extraordinarily healthy life, and actively making lifestyle
changes, is an activity that will bring tremendous returns.
Tax-free, just like an HSA.

How Does Detoxification Work
How Does Detoxification Work
Detoxification is a fancy word for cleaning your blood.
There are many programs available to help, but your body
actually has its own way dealing with toxins. There are
two major systems involved with detoxification:
anti-oxidation, and the detoxification process in the liver.
Oxidation is best illustrated by looking at rust, which is
a reaction of metal to oxygen. When free radicals come in
contact with the body, oxidation can occur. Oxidation
causes all kinds of problems, such as allergies and certain
types of sickness. The body has a natural anti-oxidation
system which includes vitamins such as C, E, B2,
bioflavonoid, beta-carotene and other substances to prevent
oxidation. Oxidation occurs at the cellular level, so detox
must occur there as well. Any deficiency of these in the
diet causes problems removing toxins.
What a good full body detox does is also remove impurities
from the blood through the liver. The liver is an
important organ, and is where toxins are processed. The
body also uses other organs such as kidneys, intestines,
lungs, lymph nodes and skin to remove toxins. Most toxins
are not water-soluble. When toxins enter the liver, two
groups of enzymes break down the toxins into water-soluble
substances to be excreted via the kidneys and other organs.
When this system is not functioning properly, toxins can
go unfiltered and your whole body suffers.
There are several ways a body detox program boosts your
body's clearing of toxins. Fasting for a short period of
time is usually part of any full body detox. When you
fast, your organs rest. This gives them time to rejuvenate
themselves and assist with the cleansing. In addition to
fasting, a good detox program will stimulate the liver to
eliminate common toxins from your body the way it should
have been doing all along. This also extends to
elimination through the skin, kidneys and intestines.
Circulation is always a big part of any natural body detox.
Boosting circulation of the blood through exercise, deep
breathing, and other means helps toxins be carried quickly
out of the bloodstream. The simple act of breathing deeply
brings more oxygen to your blood, thereby allowing for
faster elimination of toxins. Even though oxygen
contributes to oxidation, lack of oxygen can also cause
serious problems. Blood flow helps push more blood through
the liver, allowing more toxin removal.
Diet is another major component of a body detox program.
It is important to get rid of any toxins in the diet. It
is usually necessary to cut out all sugar, caffeine,
nicotine and other harmful chemicals from your body. This
is one of the most important components, and it is helpful
to continue giving your body nutrients even after your
program is complete.
Abstaining from using certain chemicals also aids in toxin
removal. Free radicals come from many household products.
Perfumes, shampoos, household cleaners, sunscreens, and
much more all contain toxins that get stuck in your body if
there is no way to eliminate it. This is why abstinence
and diet are two important ways to keep your body cleansed.

Traumatic Brain Injuries and Memory Loss
Traumatic Brain Injuries and Memory Loss
Depictions of head-injury patients in movies and television
almost always show the patient experiencing some type of
amnesia, or memory loss. Indeed, memory loss is the most
common cognitive side effect of a severe traumatic brain
injury. In patients with a milder TBI, memory loss is still
one of the most common symptoms. And the more severe the
patient's memory loss is, the more severe the brain damage
is likely to be.
Temporary Memory Loss and TBI
Some traumatic brain injury-related amnesia is temporary;
such patients are usually unable to recall what happened
directly before, during and after their accidents. This is
often caused by edema, or a swelling of the brain in
response to the damage it sustained. Because the brain is
pressed against the skull, parts that were not injured are
still not able to work. As the swelling goes down, the
patient's memory returns, often slowly over a period of
weeks, months or even years. Temporary memory loss may also
be an emotional response to the stress of the event that
caused the TBI.
Other, less common, types of memory loss stemming from
traumatic brain injury are fixed. These result from damage
to the nerves and axons (connections between nerves) of the
brain itself. Because the brain cannot heal itself like an
arm or a leg, any function that is damaged during a TBI is
permanently impaired unless the brain can learn to perform
that function differently. Fixed amnesia may include
inability to remember events before the injury, or loss of
memory of the meanings of certain things, such as words or
smells or objects. Less commonly, a person may not remember
skills he or she had before the TBI.
Brain Damage and Anteretrograde Amnesia
A patient with TBI may also develop anteretrograde amnesia
-- an inability to form memories of events that happened
after the injury. The reason for this is not well
understood, but an October 2006 study by researchers at the
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia found that TBIs reduce
the levels of a protein in the brain that helps it balance
its activity. Without enough of that protein, the brain can
"overload," the researchers said, interfering with memory
formation, particularly the ability to learn new things.
Treatment Options for Traumatic Brain Injury Patients with
Amnesia
There is no treatment for memory loss caused by a traumatic
brain injury; if the memory does not come back on its own,
it is gone forever. However, a September 2006 study
published in Neurology, the scientific journal of the
American Academy of Neurology, showed promising results in
TBI patients with anteretrograde memory loss who took the
drug rivastigmine. The drug, which is sold to Alzheimer's
disease patients under the brand name Exelon, helped
patients with moderate to severe memory loss score better
on memory tests than another group of patients that took
placebos. The results were not as good for patients who had
only mild memory loss. If you suffer from traumatic brain
injury-related memory problems, you may wish to contact an
experienced TBI attorney to discuss your options, which may
include filing a brain injury lawsuit in order to gain
compensation for your medical costs.

Important Knowledge For Every Model
Important Knowledge For Every Model
In the industry of modeling it is very important that one
understands that becoming a model is more than just looks.
There are millions of people that look good enough to be a
model but only a select few that can make their way.
The first and foremost important objective is proper
posing. Based on whether you plan on being a glamour model
or a fashion model your pose must fit the part. This can
take a large amount of practice as well as criticism. You
must be comfortable while posing to make it seem more
natural. The human eye can easily tell when something
isn't right especially when the spotlight is on you. Using
productive criticism you and your critics should choose
about five to ten poses you like best. Don't be afraid to
use ones you have seen previously in magazines or on TV
from previous shoots.
Confidence is also a very important part of modeling. Just
like having a natural pose, people can see right through
someone without confidence. You will want to make sure
your eyes, body language, and posture show no fear.
Working with a photographer that you are comfortable with
will give you that extra needed confidence. You should
only adjust away from good posture if you are instructed by
your photographer unless the shoot requires a different
feel.
Pay close attention to your facial and hand expressions.
Depending on the type of modeling this may need to be
non-existent to very bright. Remember to pay attention to
your critics when practicing your expressions because even
though you may be trying to do one expression you cannot
tell what your expressions look like to others. Once
again, practice will bring improvement!
There are also many things to avoid when modeling. As
noted above, keeping the feel natural is very important.
Many models will try to suck in their stomachs or hold
their breath. This can be easily seen and discouraged by
the trained eye that will be analyzing you. You will want
your entire body to be in a relaxed state to make your
beauty shine in your audience's eyes. Always avoid
stiffness unless instructed otherwise. Smiling is great
but only if it fits the shoot. Many shoots will require
serious facial expressions or even timid ones. Follow the
feel of the shoot and always pay attention to your
photographer's remarks and instructions.

Five E-mail Marketing Mistakes that Film Producers and Distributors Need to Avoid
Five E-mail Marketing Mistakes that Film Producers and Distributors Need to Avoid
E-mail marketing is tough. A study by Forrester research
shows that while 83% of companies attempt e-marketing less
than 5% are successful. What's the secret?
There's no secret, per se, but film and video distributors
targeting license buyers need to be informed about all the
potential pitfalls. A good e-mail marketing campaign
demands research, strategy, patience, a smooth follow-up
process, and a little high-tech. It's hard to know where to
begin, and it's natural to be afraid of making a major
mistake and alienating your potential buyers.
On the other hand, a good e-mail campaign has proven time
and again to be the most cost-effective way to market, and
in the film and video licensing industry, it's becoming a
standard and expected practice. Take some time to analyze
what needs to be done, let your creativity and passion for
your material inform what you do, and you will reach the
film/video license buyers who are searching for the kind of
content you offer.
To help get you started, we've put together a list of five
easy-to-make e-mail marketing mistakes, and How to Avoid
Them.
MISTAKE #5: - E-mailing directly from Outlook This is a
very basic mistake.
A lot of distributors use "Blind CC" to send to multiple
addresses this is the trick where you send an e-mail
to yourself, and put all the other addresses BCC. This is
a convenient way to reach a lot of people without revealing
your whole e-mail list to every recipient (which is what
happens when you CC), but these cumbersome BCC messages are
red flags for mail server spam filters. Not only is your
message likely going to get blocked, but your entire IP
address might be blacklisted. This means that you will
never be able to send ANY message to this address again,
unless you contact the hostmaster who blacklisted you and
beg for forgiveness.
Tools like Listrak, Campaigner, and ExacTarget solve these
problems and elegantly handle lists with thousands of
names. These services all charge a monthly fee. PHPList and
OpenEMM are powerful OpenSource solutions, but require you
to provide your own tech support.
The biggest advantage of these tools: they track the
e-mails you send. Who opens it, who deletes it, who sends
it to a friend, when, and where. You'll need this data to
do follow up, segment your lists, and to tweak your
campaign.
MISTAKE #4: - Websites are not doing follow-up for you.
When a user clicks on your perfectly composed e-mail they
need somewhere just as professional looking to go next. An
ideal e-mail gets the reader to click quickly. A landing
page (a specially designed webpage for e-mail campaign
clickers) doesn't need to be elaborate, but at the very
least it should act as a sort of digital sell sheet,
offering the extra information a potential buyer needs and
makes it clear what they need to do to take the next step.
Add an easy to use 'send us a question form' or invite
buyers to sign up to a newsletter and suddenly a passive
e-mail recipient has become a real prospect.
MISTAKE #3: - Not segmenting your mailing lists.
It's tempting to blast one e-mail to a thousand names, but
all marketing gurus insist on targeted delivery.
'Segmenting' your e-mail list means nothing more than
dividing it into logical groups and sending different
e-mails to the appropriate segment.
Personalizing your e-mails through segmentation can double
click-through rates, and becomes more important as you move
through the sales cycle. And by personalization here we're
not talking about sticking the prospect's name at the top
of the e-mail (though that is a nice touch). We're talking
about changing the content, sometimes very slightly, to
help make your property immediately relevant to the
prospect.
In future articles, we'll be offering more tips on how to
segment your lists.
MISTAKE #2: - Underemphasizing your categories, and
overemphasizing your brand.
Film and video content license buyers receive dozens of
marketing e-mails everyday. To cope, buyers have developed
methods to sort and evaluate new titles very quickly.
What's the first thing a buyer notices when they first
encounter your property?
Unfortunately, it's not your brand. A lot of distributors
send out e-mails emphasizing their company logo and
profile. While a good brand may help get your e-mail
opened, it's not going to help you make a sale. Buyers
specialize in different categories and genres. They know
how to sell that category, where to sell to that category,
and who will buy it.
You need to help buyers understand your title in terms of
their favourite categories.
Segment your e-mail list by preferred category and you will
have accomplished the single most important thing to
successfully winning a buyer's attention. For independent
producers and other rights holders without any brand
recognition whatsoever, this is probably the most important
marketing advice you will hear.
MISTAKE #1: - Not delivering value to your audience with
your e-mail.
The best way to reach a buyer is to give them tools that
will help them 'sell' your title to their buying team.
Buyers need to understand all the opportunities your title
offers. Slotting your property into a category is an
essential first step, but you can do much more.
This is a big topic, but the idea is very simple: use the
web to show your buyer the audience which already exists
for your property. Do your homework, and find ways to
position your title on the web where audiences live and
breathe the category you are selling. Fan sites, social
networking sites, online film festivals, and film/video
sites can all take their place as virtual counterparts to
tradeshows, press releases, and traditional film festivals,
all working as venues to showcase your title. By creating
this context, you help buyers understand how to position
and make sense of your property. It is this context which
you will try to communicate in your e-mail.
In conclusion, E-marketing takes time, effort, and
experience. Many distributors fear that e-mail marketing is
too aggressive, and that it basically amounts to spamming.
If done improperly, this fear is certainly justified. The
key is to be in your e-marketing campaigns what you are in
the rest of your business life: a consummate professional,
whose primary interest is in helping your clients succeed.

Hot Tubs for Reflexolgy
Hot Tubs for Reflexolgy
Undoubtedly one of the prime reasons for having a hot tub
is for hydro therapy, which refers to, the use of water for
the purposes of healing and therapy.
Hydro is a prefix meaning that it is produced or generated
from water or the flow and movement of water and one
example that springs to mind is "Hydro-electricity"
electricity that is derived from Water.
So the point of all this is to try and define the word
Hydrotherapy and my own thinking is that it is a healing
therapy effect derived from the movement or flow of water.
Water is of course an outstanding resource. With out which
we would not survive on the planet Earth. Water is both a
liquid that we can drink and therby sustain our lives but
is also a fluid capable of being solid when frozen and is
often used in physiotherapy to help recovery from injuries
and to relieve muscle stiffness and aches by assisting in
the reduction of lactic acid. Warm soothing water helps to
open the blood vessels in the body so as to naturally
assist and improve blood circulation round the body. This
increased circulation helps to bring nutrients and thereby
assists the tissue and muscle groups around arthritic
joints relax, and promotes the flow of endorphins in the
body.
When you use a Hot Tub not only do you benefit from
Hydrotherapy but you also can benefit from Reflexology.
Modern day reflexology goes back in time many thousands of
years and is based on a very ancient form of therapy.
Treatment by massage to the hands and feet is known as
Reflexology and this is based on the fact that there are
reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to various
parts of the body a bit like a mirror system. The massaging
effect of the warm water helps to apply gentle pressure to
the feet and hands increasing circulation and providing
respite to specific joint and muscular functions.
There is evidence that some kind of foot and hand therapy
was being practised in China some four to five thousand
years B.C. Around the same time the same kind of foot and
hand thereapy was in use in ancient Egypt, and this is
depicted in one of the ancient tombs of that era namely the
tomb of Ankmahor.
Inside the tomb of Ankmahor there is a wall painting which
dates from about 2300 BC so that's more than four thousand
years ago that shows an Egyptian physician to the Pharaoh.
I am told that the hieroglyphics, inscribed on the wall
translates into something like " Please do not cause me any
pain " to which the reply is " I will perform so that you
will praise me" Well you might say what is the point of
this history lesson ? Quite simply to show that reflexology
is a treatment that has been around for thousands of years
and one that you can enjoy using your own Hot Tub.
The Jets in a Hot Tub will massage your feet providing
similar if not perhaps better treatment than the Pharaohs
used to enjoy more than four thousand years ago.

Simple Stock Investment Strategy for Young Investors
Simple Stock Investment Strategy for Young Investors
Young investors take notice of this simple investment
strategy that can give you long-term gains with less risk.
'Dollar cost averaging' may sound complicated but it
actually is one of the easiest, safest plans that you can
have set up in about 60 minutes.
Dollar Cost Averaging - The young investor's best friend.
Dollar cost averaging allows young investors to purchase
stock investments consistently over a longer period of
time. This stock market strategy works especially well
with broad-based market index investments like the mutual
funds and ETF's that mirror the return of the S&P 500.
This is an effortless yet powerful investment technique
that will lower your risk and potentially increase your
returns.
Dollar cost averaging works great for young investors that
are investing for the long-term. Young investors are able
to purchase more shares when the stock market experiences
short-term corrections. That way when the index turns
around and starts heading up in value young investors are
able to profit more because they own more shares.
When the market is rising young investors are able to
capitalize on the market trend because they are following a
consistent investment plan. As they purchase more and more
shares in a bull market that money is going to work for
them right away.
Dollar cost averaging spreads the prices that you purchase
stock market investments (cost basis) over a longer period.
That way you are protected from short-term price
corrections and profit from long-term uptrends.
How to Create a Dollar Cost Averaging Plan.
For young investors creating a successful dollar cost
averaging plan is simple. There are two basic steps that
will get your money working for you:
1. Decide on the exact amount of money you will invest each
and every month. The key to a successful dollar cost
averaging plan is consistency. You can increase your
investment over time but avoid investing different amounts
each month.
2. Set up the exact times you invest. If you decide to
invest once per month do so on the same day. For instance,
the fifth of every month invest $150. This is made simple
with help from an automatic investment plan. Set this up
one time and your investments are made automatically for
you each and every month. All you have to do is check your
statements to see how your investments are doing.
Improve your dollar cost averaging plan through
diversification.
Diversification is a simple spreading out the risk of
owning a stock investment by owning many different stocks
in a variety of sectors. Instead of owning one individual
stock, which is very risky for the inexperienced, you may
choose to own a group of stocks. This will reduce the risk
of owning any single investment. The investment of choice
for many young and beginning investors is broad based
indexes.
An example of a broad based market index is the S&P 500.
By investing in the S&P 500 index you own a piece of every
stock that makes up the S&P 500. Stocks like American
Express, Google, Ford, Nordstrom, Home Depot, Staples and
Yahoo are a few of the stocks that make up that index. That
way you're protected in case one of the stocks in the S&P
500 drops 70% of its value, you're only invested 1/500th,
and you won't experience too much loss from that. In
comparison, if you just owned that stock by itself you
would have lost 70% immediately.
For young investors, keeping your investments diversified
and using a dollar cost averaging investing technique - you
have effectively reduced risk and are in an excellent
position to achieve long-term profits.

Run to this heavenly Father!
Run to this heavenly Father!
(Thomas Watson, "The Beatitudes" 1660)
"The Father of mercies and the God of all comfort."
2 Corinthians 1:3
Christians should look upon God under this notion—the
Father of all mercy, sitting upon a throne of grace. We
should run to this heavenly Father in all conditions!
We should run to our Father with our sins, as that sick
child who, as soon as he found himself ill—he ran to his
father to help him, "My head! My head!" 2 Kings 4:19
So in case of sin—run to God and say: "My heart! My
heart! O this dead heart—Father, quicken it! This hard
heart—Father, soften it! Father, my heart, my heart!"
We should run to our Father with our temptations.
A child, when another strikes him, runs to his father.
So when the devil strikes us with his temptations, let
us run to our Father: "Father, Satan assaults and hurls
in his fiery darts at me! Father, it is Your child who is
assaulted by this red dragon! Father, take off the
tempter!"
"Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares about
you!" 1 Peter 5:7. What a sweet privilege is this! When
any burden lies upon our hearts—we may go to our
Father and unload all our cares and griefs into His
loving bosom! "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He
will support you; He will never allow the righteous to
be shaken!" Psalm 55:22
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Be sure to listen to week's featured AUDIO sermon by
Newman Hall, "The Voice of Jesus in the Storm".
This is one of the most comforting and uplifting sermons
we have ever heard! Pass this on to any Christian who
is going through difficult times.

Why consistency is the only surefire way to build muscle
Why consistency is the only surefire way to build muscle
If you've been struggling to build muscle, this could be
one of the most important articles you read this year. As
I write this, the year 2007 is drawing to a close.
However, it doesn't matter when exactly you read this, for
the message will be relevant for the rest of your life. I
wish to speak to you briefly about the most important
component in muscle building (and throughout other areas of
your life, for that matter). What is this crucial
component of any strength training or mass building
program? It's Consistency.
You may have heard this at various times in your life.
You've heard it stated in different adages like "inch by
inch it's a cinch" and "try, try again" along with a dozen
other clichés. You probably brushed it aside at the
time, since our tendency is to search for the magic bullet
- the one key that will unlock all of our desires with the
least amount of effort. Unfortunately, we inevitably learn
that there is no magic bean that can replace due diligence,
determination, and, most of all, consistency. No
supplement, regardless of the marketing hype, can provide
you with the same results as a solid exercise and diet
program followed carefully over many weeks and months.
Always remember that our greatest successes in life almost
always come from many small individual choices over time.
The small actions on a consistent daily basis will
accumulate and have a massive effect in the future.
You do need the right knowledge, of course, but understand
that any muscle building course will require significant
effort over a sustained period of time. These courses give
you the knowledge to succeed, but you must apply them
consistently to achieve any real long-term results. Trust
me, I have long had a tendency to look for the latest
thing, whether it was in the field of fitness or something
else. Jumping from program to program will give you
nothing. Reading the first few pages of a muscle course
will do nothing by itself to build muscle, nor will
stopping your program after a week or two of strength
training. If you make a decision that you're in this for
the long haul, you have essentially guaranteed your success
from the very beginning. Any flaws can be corrected, and
any obstacles can be overcome as long as you're committed
to achieving your goals.

Brain Training for Stress Management: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programs
Brain Training for Stress Management: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programs
Stanford University's Robert Sapolsky and others have shown
how chronic stress may contribute to the death of neurons
in our brains.
The question is, with all the thousands of courses and
products out there that promise stress management miracles,
how can one evaluate them? how do we know which ones are
science-based and have shown results?
Probably the most promising area of scientific inquiry for
stress management is Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
(MBSR). You may have read about it in Sharon Begley's Train
Your Mind, Change Your Brain book.
An increasing number of neuroscientists (such as UMass
Medical School's Jon Kabat-Zinn and University of
Wisconsin-Madison's Richard Davidson) have been
investigating the ability of trained meditators to develop
and sustain attention and visualizations and to work
positively with powerful emotional states and stress
through the directed mental processes of meditation
practices. And have put their research into practice for
the benefit of many hospital patients through their
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs.
The Mind & Life Institute, led by Adam Engle, has provided
critical support to many neuroscientists who want to study
the health benefits of meditation and have developed MBSR
programs.
My wife and I were fortunate to conduct recently a brain
training experiment, in the form of a breathing &
meditation retreat, with some neuroscientists and Adam
Engle, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Mind & Life Institute.
The Mind and Life Dialogues "started in 1987 as an
experiment to determine whether a scientific exchange could
occur between modern science and Buddhism. MLI has now
sponsored 14 dialogues (between the Dalai Lama and
neuroscientists) over the last 20 years. In that time MLI
has become a recognized world leader in the emerging
scientific investigation of the effects of contemplative
practices on the brain, behavior, and the translation of
this data into effective tools to benefit all people
everywhere."
A few notes from our conversation with Adam
- He helped launch the Mind & Life Institute to build a
science-based field of interdisciplinary study to
investigate the applications of the "database of practices"
that Buddhism and some Christian traditions have
accumulated over milennia.
- From early on it became clear that they needed to engage
Western neuroscientists in order to be credible and become
a real East-West bridge with potential to reach mainstream
society.
- They are very happy that Sharon Begley's book Train Your
Mind, Change Your Brain has become a non-fiction
Bestseller, since it is based on one of the Mind & Life
Dialogues.
- He is glad to see the inroads that Mindfulness-Based
Stress Reduction (MBSR) is making in the medical world
thanks to solid research. He believes the Corporate
Training and Leadership market is also going to become very
interested in this technique for stress management. The
main bottleneck for growth? the existing number of
qualified instructors does not meet the increasing demand.
The Institute sponsors research in a number of ways, and
they just announced that the 3rd annual Scientists Retreat
will take place at the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in
Barre, Massachusetts, January 8-15, 2008.
A description of the program: "This course has been
organized by scientists, for scientists. Its goals are to
help researchers in the mind sciences experience in-depth
training in meditation and explore ways in which a rigorous
and systematic approach to introspection can inform
research. We consider this to be a rare opportunity to
advance the scientific study of the human mind. Vipassana
is an ancient method of introspection that readily conforms
to the spirit of empirical science. It is simply a means of
training the mind to be more keenly aware of sensory
phenomena and the flow of thought."
I hope you have enjoyed learning about this fascinating new
field of research. And that next time you are looking for
stress management programs, you ask your health provider
whether they offer Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
courses.

I Love Touring Italy - Lake Garda
I Love Touring Italy - Lake Garda
If you are looking for a European tourist destination,
consider Lake Garda located mostly in the Lombardy region
of northern Italy. Depending on your interests, this
beautiful area might be an ideal vacation spot. You can get
classic Italian food, and wash it down with fine local
wine. It is hardly undiscovered, but that shouldn't stop
you from going. With a little effort you should be able to
find some relatively untouched spots. Be sure to read the
companion articles in this series that present Milan, small
town Lombardy outside of its capital Milan, and the Lake
Como district. While people often think of Lake Garda as
being part of Lombardy that is not entirely true. This
beautiful lake spills over into the neighboring regions of
Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto as indicated below.
Lake Garda is an alpine lake, formed by glaciers at the end
of the last Ice Age roughly ten thousand years ago. It is
Italy's largest lake measuring about 30 miles (52
kilometers) long and at most 10 miles (17 kilometers) wide.
Near the lake the terrain tends to be mountainous in the
north and flat in the south. The lake is relatively clean,
but as tourism continues to expand...
We start our Lake Garda tour at its northern tip, Riva del
Garda, situated just inside the region of Trentino-Alto
Adige. We will travel counterclockwise around the lake,
crossing the border into Lombardy and stopping first at
Gargnano, then at Gardone Riviera with its historic
neighbor Salo, and finally at Sirmione near the lake's
southern tip. We then enter the Veneto region stopping at
Bardolino, Punta di San Virgilio, and finally come to
Macesine, not far from our starting point.
Riva del Garda is probably the best-known resort on Lake
Garda. It's also one of the less expensive areas around the
lake. You'll find a castle with a moat. The Museo Civico
(Civic Museum) is part of the Rocca, a medieval fortress on
the lake. If you don't know how to sail or windsurf don't
despair, local schools can teach you. The Thirteenth
Century Torre Apponale (Apponale Tower) defended the city
from invaders and held prisoners. Look for Riva del Garda's
symbol, Anzolin, the little angel on the top of the tower
who welcomes all who enter the town as she spins in the
wind.
Gargnano, population about three thousand, is a great place
for fishing, snorkeling, and sailing. In fact it is one of
the best places to sail on the western shore of Lake Garda.
The town's major attraction is the Chiesa di San Francesco
(Cloister of Saint Francis) and its campanile (bell tower).
The church graveyard contains Roman gravestones. As you
walk around town you may see some houses that still show
the traces of cannon balls fired during the Third War of
Italian Independence in 1866.
In 1943 Mussolini founded his short lived Repubblica
Sociale Italia (Italian Social Republic) here. He installed
himself in a late Nineteenth Century art nouveau villa
called Villa Feltrinelli about two miles (three kilometers)
north of town. You can get your revenge by staying in Villa
Feltrinelli, which is now an upscale hotel, but you'll have
to shell out big bucks to do so. I'm told that you won't be
disappointed with its beauty and luxury including
magnificent gardens and a fine library. So we see that even
towards the end of his days, Benito was able to live well.
Shortly thereafter...
Gardone Riviera, population twenty-five hundred, is best
known for the mansion Vittoriale degli Italiani (The shrine
of Italian victories) and the major Italian writer Gabriele
d'Annunzio who lived there from 1922 until his death in
1938. This building has been called a Fascist Luna Park so
you probably can guess d'Annunzio's politics. He was both
Mussolini's mentor and major competitor. Mussolini
purportedly stated: "When you are saddled with a rotten
tooth you have two possibilities open to you: either you
pull the tooth or you fill it with gold. With d'Annunzio I
have chosen for the latter treatment."
Can you guess who also lived in Vittoriale degli Italiani?
Mussolini's mistress, Clara Petacci, conveniently resided
here to be close to her heart throb Benito when he was not
exactly roughing it in nearby Gargnano's Villa Feltrinelli
as described above.
Be sure to visit the two acre (one hectare) Giardino
Botanico (Botanical Garden) Andre Heller formerly known as
Giardino Botanico (Botanical Garden) Hruska. You'll see
thousands of exotic Alpine, Mediterranean, and subtropical
plants. Not bad for such a small site.
The little town of Salo, population ten thousand, once had
big ambitions. It was the capital of Mussolini's
Nazi-backed puppet state, the Italian Social Republic, also
known as the Republic of Salo. Its main sights include a
Fifteenth Century Duomo (Cathedral), the Sixteenth Century
Palazzo della Magnifica Patria (Palace of the Magnificent
Fatherland) with a historical museum covering among other
subjects, the Resistance against Fascism, and a Palace
hosting an archeological museum. Every Saturday morning
there is a great outdoor market where you can forget about
politics.
Sirmione, population about seven thousand, is our last stop
in Lombardy. This area was definitely settled by people
more than two thousand years ago; some may have lived in
houses on stilts. Its number one tourist attraction is the
Grotte di Catullo (Grotto of Catullus) a large rectangular
structure said to have been the site of the fun-loving
Roman poet Catullus. The truth is that his villa was most
likely nearby. Go visit the ruins and the museum anyway.
Bardolino, population somewhat exceeding six thousand, is
situated on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. It's the
biggest resort on the lake with numerous shops and
historical remains. Bardolino's main claim to fame is its
wine, discussed at the end of this article. In the fall it
hosts an annual Cura dell'Uva (Grape Cure) Festival. Some
of the participants put crushed grapes on their skin,
others drink grape juice, and still others drink the local
wine. I think they all have fun, even if they aren't cured.
Stop to admire the Punta San Virgilio (Saint Virgil's
Promonotory), perhaps the most romantic spot along the
lake. Nearby is the Fifteenth Century Villa Guarienti di
Bronzane but you can only see it from the outside. The
Parco Baia di Sirene (Mermaid's Bay Park) for kids and
adults is open to the public.
Malcesine, population thirty-five hundred, also claims to
be the most popular resort on the lake. It's near the
mountains and provides several ski lifts. A cable car takes
you to the summit of Monte Baldo. If you're ambitious head
back down by mountain bike. Be sure to see Castello
Scaligero (Scaligero Castle).
What about food? When you talk lake, fish forms a major
part of the local cuisine. Indigenous fish include the rare
Lake Garda carp, whitefish, lake trout, eel, pike, tench,
and perch. Citrus fruits, cheese, and wine also form a
major part of the diet. Lake Garda's olive trees are quite
special. To conserve land they are trained to grow high, so
high that scali, special long poles originally invented for
lemon trees are needed to harvest the olives. Their olive
oil is exceptional, even by Italian standards.
Let's suggest a sample menu, one of many. Start with Bigoi
con le Agule (Spaghetti with Sardines.) Then try Luccio in
Salsa (Pike with Sauce, eaten cold). For dessert indulge
yourself with Torte di Mele (Apple Cake.) Be sure to
increase your dining pleasure by including local wines with
your meal.
We conclude with a quick look at Lombardy wine. Lombardy
ranks 11th among the 20 Italian regions in acreage devoted
to wine grapes and in total annual wine production. The
region produces about 62% red and ros and 38% white
wine, but there is little ros . There are 15 DOC
wines. DOC stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata,
which may be translated as Denomination of Controlled
Origin, presumably a high-quality wine. The G in DOCG
stands for Garantita, but there is in fact no guarantee
that such wines are truly superior. Over 47% of Lombardy
wine carries the DOC or DOCG designation. There are three
DOCG wines: the sparkling Franciacorta said to compete with
French Champagne and priced accordingly, the red Sforzato
di Valtellina, and the red Valtellina Superiore.
Remember, Lake Garda is shared by three regions of Italy,
Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto. The best-known
local wine comes from east of the lake near Bardolino, part
of Veneto. Bardolino DOC is produced in a variety of styles
from a specified variety of local grapes. Bardolino
Superiore DOCG is a dry red wine also produced from local
grapes but to more stringent specifications.

A Healthy Food Relationship and Weight Loss
A Healthy Food Relationship and Weight Loss
Everybody wants to lose weight. However, weight loss can
only begin with a healthy food relationship.
Nowadays, many men and women desire a healthy body image,
which is often a reflection of their overall health. Men
and women may look at their bodies differently: men focus
on their chest, arms, and abs, while women concentrate on
their waist, hips, and thighs. But weight loss for both men
and women begins with a healthy food relationship.
What is a food relationship?
Everyone, irrespective of the gender, has both a physical
and psychological food relationship. The former has to do
with satisfying the physical hunger, while the latter has
to do with the appetite, that is, the "desire" for food,
which is mostly psychological. Effective and permanent
weight loss is contingent on a healthy physical and
psychological food relationship.
To establish a good physical food relationship requires an
understanding of the science of eating.
Firstly, you have to understand that you eat to live, and
not live to eat. You become what you eat: what you eat and
drink becomes your body chemistry and your body
constitution. If you think you can eat whatever you like
and still get away with it, think again!
Eating determines if you are living in harmony with Nature,
which is the key to living a long life. You need to know
the logistics of eating: what to eat, how to eat, and when
to eat, especially the components of food. Eating is a
science, so treat it as such.
You eat only when you are hungry. Avoid voluntary eating,
such as when you make a beeline for the refrigerator as
soon as you walk into the house. Avoid emotional eating to
appease your emotions. Avoid sensory eating, which is
eating to satisfy your senses.
You eat only what is good for you. You need to understand
food criteria. Some of the foods you eat may not be foods
at all. For foods to be called "foods," they must meet
certain criteria.
Foods must be living: they must contain enzymes. The
vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and proteins in foods are
all lifeless unless they are activated by enzymes. Heating
and preserving easily destroy the enzymes in foods.
Therefore, the way you cook your food, and the types of
food you consume are important to your food relationship.
Processed and preserved foods neither protect nor preserve
your health. To preserve enzymes, go for a raw food diet
every now and then, and do not overcook your food. Steaming
is the healthiest way of cooking because the food does not
have direct contact with the heat source. Deep frying, on
the other hand, is the worst method of cooking.
Foods must support your internal bowel ecology. They must
facilitate absorption of nutrients and disposal of toxic
waste. Foods must help digestion and elimination, which are
critical to healthy eating.
Foods must not trigger unfavorable food reaction. Dairy and
wheat products may cause food allergies.
Foods must not cause sharp surge of molecular changes in
your body, such as a sudden increase in your blood sugar
level, or wide fluctuation of neurotransmission caused by
caffeine or other chemicals.
Foods must provide adequate calories for your physical
activity, but not "empty" calories, which provide little or
no nutrients. Consuming empty calories is tantamount to
working extremely hard while being unfairly underpaid.
Foods must balance your body chemistry in order to
neutralize and eradicate free radicals, which are oxidative
stresses that destroy your body cells. Foods must balance
your the acid and alkaline level in your body, with no more
than 30 percent acid-forming foods, such as meat proteins,
and 70 percent or more alkaline-forming foods, such as most
fruits and vegetables. All pharmaceutical drugs are acidic.
Many health experts believe that a balance of acidity and
alkalinity, known as balanced pH level in your body will
make you disease-free.
Eat only quality foods: eat, whenever possible, only
organic foods. Some of the best foods in nature include the
following:
Chlorella is a green single-cell algae cultivated in fresh
water ponds. With its grass-like smell, it has the highest
concentration of chlorophyll than any other plant in the
world. With more than 20 vitamins and minerals, as well as
the essential 8 amino acids, chlorella is the perfect food.
In addition, it detoxifies by removing toxins and metals
from your body.
Wheat grass is another life-giving food rich in enzymes
easily assimilated to boost your immune system. It is one
of the best sources of chlorophyll, which provides oxygen
for your brain and body tissues for longevity. Wheat grass
absorbs as many as 92 of the known 102 minerals from the
soil. Wheat juice, in particular, is a superior
detoxification agent compared to carrot juice. It enhances
your digestion, relieves your sore throat, keeps your
bowels open, reduces your blood pressure, and improves your
cholesterol.
Make the effort to establish a healthy physical food
relationship through your choice of food and your method of
cooking. Learn to follow Nature's prescription of suitable
times for your meals. You lunch should be the heaviest
meal, since your digestive fire is at its maximum potency.
A late dinner or binging before bedtime may interfere with
your body's mechanism to detoxify and digest food from the
day, making you tired the next morning on waking up.
A healthy physical food relationship is a must for weight
loss and optimum health.
(My next article will be on psychological food
relationship.)

Airbags: Safety Device or Safety Hazard
Airbags: Safety Device or Safety Hazard
Drive, she said. Get behind the wheel of a car or SUV and
you probably have many things on your mind. Airbags is not
one of them.
Most of us automatically trust that the brand of car we
purchased whether new or used will transport us from one
place to another. Airbags are just not under scrutiny.
Since airbags are invisible, we put them out of sight, out
of mind until an airbag deploys when we drive over a bump;
slam the door too hard; or an airbag fails to deploy when
we're in an accident and need it most; or when the airbag
does deploy, we or our children and other passengers are
gravely injured.
Now if you haven't thought about airbags before -- here are
a few things to consider: Airbags detonate with around
2,000 pounds of force at speeds that can exceed 200 miles
per hour. Airbags were developed for the average 5-foot
8-inch, 180-pound male. If you're shorter and heavier or
shorter and weigh less or taller and heavier and sit closer
to the steering wheel; you will have to take your chances.
Hopefully, you don't have a heart condition or osteoporosis
as an exploding airbag can be fatal.
What vehicles have been recalled for airbags?
You name it and it most likely has been recalled. Since
1997, at least 3,000,000 vehicles have been recalled due to
airbag related problems with BMW 3-series, Chevrolet
Silverado, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Focus, Scion TC, Nissan
350Z, 720,000 GM recalls, Toyota Camry 2007, Saturn, and
Volvo.
Of course, airbag problems are not detected until it's too
late.
What are injuries sustained by airbags?
Though rare, serious or fatal injuries can occur when the
driver or passenger is very close to or in direct contact
with an airbag module when the airbag deploys. Brain
injuries can happen to unconscious drivers who slump over
the steering wheel or improperly restrained occupants who
slide forward in the seat during pre-crash braking, and
even properly restrained drivers who sit too close to the
steering wheel. Side-impact crashes are three times more
likely to suffer a traumatic brain injury than people
involved in head-on or other types of collisions. Brain
injuries from side-impact crashes are usually more severe.
Crashes on the side of a vehicle cause 10,000 deaths each
year in the United States.
Data came from real accidents, rather than from crash tests
with dummies. The difference is critical because it's
difficult to accurately simulate a brain injury in a dummy.
One of the most common causes of damage to the brain is
trauma from a blow during a car crash.
Other airbag injuries from being hit by an airbag or
exposed to its contents include eye injuries such as blunt
trauma to the eye causing corneal abrasions, sub-retinal
hemorrhage, blurred vision, retinal detachment. Chemical
injuries include burns to the face and other parts of the
body as well as breathing and asthma problems gases emitted
from the airbag. Facial scarring may be caused when by an
exploding airbag driving or grinding broken glass into the
victim's face or upper body.
What can you do about an airbag complaint?
As a consumer you have the right to file an airbag
complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. The complaint information will be entered
into NHTSA's vehicle owner's complaint database and used in
conjunction with other complaints to determine if a
safety-related defect trend exists.
Do you have an airbag failure lawsuit?
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by an
airbag or a family member has died from an airbag injury,
contacting a law firm about filing an airbag lawsuit is the
sensible thing to do.
----------------------------------------------------
The Philadelphia Lawyers at the Anapol Schwartz Law Firm,

in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Ask about a free
airbag personal injury or wrongful death consultation. For

Internet Marketing-Myth#2 Everyone is your Prospect?
Internet Marketing-Myth#2 Everyone is your Prospect?
One of the biggest myths that newbie's are made to believe
today is that everyone is their prospect. If they can't
convert someone from a prospect to a customer it's because
their not dedicated enough. Does this sound familiar?
In most cases it doesn't have anything to do with the level
of dedication or the belief in a product. While networking
is like any other career in that it takes work to see
results. It doesn't matter how much I hound a potential
prospect if I don't know the right approach my success rate
is probably going to be a big fat zero.
There are plenty of reasons why not everyone is your
prospect. Some people are automatically suspicious of
anything that relates to MLM businesses. Some people love
their job and wouldn't give it up for a million bucks. Some
people are scared to death of anything that involves risk.
The list of reasons goes on and on.
Whatever the reason it's a waste of your time and energy to
try and convince anyone to get involved in this business.
The bottom line is no one is worth your time until they
have shown an interest in what you're offering. That's
right I know it goes against all the conventional MLM
wisdom that has probably been passed on to you by your up
line. If you really think about it for a minute places like
Wal-Mart for example don't phone and harass potential
customers to come in and buy their products. You would
never see an associate turning up at your door trying to
drag you into their store would you?
It doesn't matter if you think their the perfect prospect.
: Great people skills, sick of their job ect. It doesn't
even matter if their looking to start their own business.
Until they go out of their way to get more information from
you they are not a prospect.
Your job is not to try and convert people. Anyone who has
made any money in this business knows you are trying to get
the maximum return on your time and effort. MLM up lines
love to tell you that trying to recruit friends and family
members by dragging them to hotel meetings is perfect for
the average person because it costs nothing. I don't care
how loyal you think mom, dad or your hairdresser is do you
think they want any part of having to solicit people to
join a business?
When you Market this way it shows them that you are to
cheap or inexperienced to invest in respectable marketing
methods. If you spend all your time chasing prospects you
will be viewed as a nuisance. When people seek you out you
are viewed as the expert. Don't get me wrong I have nothing
against MLM businesses but you have to take the time to
learn the proper way to position yourself.

Illinois Storage Unit
Illinois Storage Unit
Winter is still two weeks away; however, our merciless
Mother Nature has started the cold season early as usual.
Illinois's wintery climate is subject to icy roads and
hazardous roadways. A slight sprinkle of water will freeze
at temperatures near and above the freezing level resulting
in conditions ideal for ice skating, not driving. According
to the U.S. department of Transportation, over 450,000
injury crashes occur annually in adverse weather
conditions. As a self storage insider, please drive
carefully to your storage unit in Illinois this winter and
follow these widely acknowledged safety tips.
Priority number one is packing a safety kit. Go to your
storage unit in Illinois and retrieve that winter safety
kit you stored last Spring. Take inventory; you should have
an ice scraper, tire chains, sand or kitty litter, booster
cables, small snow shovel, blanket, snow brush, flares, and
flashlight. Give the flashlight fresh batteries and check
the bulb. Remember, the kitty litter is not for Muffy;
rather, it is use to regain traction if your wheels are
stuck in a spin.
Get familiar with your vehicle. Knowing how to handle your
vehicle and how it reacts in hazardous weather conditions
is vital. Hitting the break pedal too hard will cause you
to lose control of the car. See the recommendations that
you owner's manual provides on braking and tire traction in
hazardous weather. At slow speeds, try testing maneuvers in
an empty snowy or icy parking lot.
When driving on slippery roads to your storage unit in
Illinois, remember that every maneuver slows down. Drive,
steer and brake more slowly than normal. Keep at least a 3
car distance from the car in front of you. Stopping takes
twice as long compared to normal driving conditions. Be
aware of the invisible presence of black ice. Black ice
remains on roadways that are hidden from direct sunlight.
It is common on roads that hug around lakes and rivers, in
tunnels, on overpasses and in highly shaded, rural areas.
Black ice is virtually invisible, so be especially guarded
when driving into shaded areas, and decrease your speed
during your approach in such areas. Arrive to and from your
storage unit in Illinois safely.
There are other areas you should approach extra cautious.
Besides areas with lack of sunlight, other areas that claim
victims to wintery weather are bridges, overpasses and
tunnels. If there are bridges, overpasses, and or tunnels
on the way to your self storage unit in Illinois, avoid
them by taking an alternate route or use extra caution.
If you are unfamiliar with your vehicles drive type,
identify whether it is front or rear-wheel-drive. It makes
a difference when driving under slippery conditions.
Front-wheel-drive vehicles are more superior to rear wheel
drive vehicles on slippery roads. The weight of the engine
is on the drive wheels of front-wheel-drive cars, which
helps to improve traction. On rear-wheel-drives there is
virtually no weight on the back wheels of your car. The
risk is high that your car will fishtail (slide side to
side) during turns on snowy or icy roads. If you own a
rear-wheel-drive car or truck, place bags of sand in the
bed of the truck or trunk of the car to add weight to the
rear wheels for extra traction. Save these bags of sand in
your storage unit in Illinois during the warmer months and
use them again in the future.
While in your owner's manual, check information regarding
your braking system. Not all braking systems are the same.
Identify which type of brakes your vehicle uses.
Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) is best on slick roads, if
operated correctly. Drivers should apply steady pressure to
the brake pedal during the entire stop. ABS will
automatically pump the brakes, if necessary, to keep the
wheels from locking. Never manually pump ABS brakes
yourself. Apply only steady pressure continuously until you
come to a complete stop.
On the contrary, cars without ABS brakes, you should gently
apply pumping pressure to your brakes during slippery
conditions. Do not apply steady pressure to your brakes.
Steady pressure on your brakes will only lock up the
wheels, and may result in your car spinning out of control.
No matter how slow and cautious you drive, you may find
yourself in a skid. Handling skids is the same for
front-wheel-drive and real-wheel-drive vehicles. If you are
in a skid, slowly take your foot off the gas, but do not
hit the brakes. Braking will make the skid worse. Gently
turn your steering wheel in the direction that your rear
wheels are sliding, but don't turn too sharply. Before you
put your car in gear, improve your visibility by wiping all
snow and ice from your vehicle. While you are at it, remove
ice and snow from the hood, the roof, the trunk, the turn
signals, the tail lights, the headlights, the windows, and
the mirrors. Ice sheets may blow off from the top of your
car, and could be dangerous to other motorists on the road
if you fail to clean the snow off your car.Low beams
provide better visibility during a snow or ice storm. Use
the low beams rather than the high beams.
If other motorists seem to be in a hurry on the way to a
storage unit in Illinois, don't be intimidated by
aggressive drivers. Maintain a speed that you are
comfortable with. If possible, find a safe area to pull
over and let them pass. You don't need them to hit you in
the rear for their foolishness when their car fails to stop
in slippery conditions. Allow yourself for greater stopping
distances. Give 8-10 seconds between you and the vehicle in
front of you during slippery conditions.
Uphill driving on ice is a bit tricky. Locate a path that
will allow the most traction, usually on unpacked snow.
Watch vehicles in front of you for the slippery areas to
avoid where they spin wheels or slide about. Decrease speed
before curves and turns to maintain control of your car.
Sudden acceleration or deceleration during a turn will send
you into a skid.
The biggest mistake that most inexperienced wintery weather
drivers make is applying the brakes while driving on ice.
Our instincts tell us to hit the brakes when out of
control, but our instincts are wrong. Brakes add fuel to
the fire when driving on ice. When approaching ice patches,
brake during the approach, not on the ice.
If you get stuck in a patch of snow or ice on your way to
your storage unit in Illinois, there are ways to get out if
help is unavailable. First and most important, do not spin
your wheels. This will only dig you in deeper - you will
dig your self in a deeper hole, in a manner of speaking,
literally. Instead, turn your wheels from side to side a
few times to push snow out of the way and then, try to
proceed with a light tap on the gas, to ease your car out.
If you packed one, use a shovel to clear snow away from the
wheels and underneath the car. Get a hold of the sand or
kitty litter that you should have pack in your safety kit.
Pour the sand or kitty litter in the path of the wheels. If
you neglected to pack sand or kitty litter because you left
it at your storage unit in Illinois, find some gravel as a
substitute.
The people from self storage industry, call center, self
storage business, storage association
All things considered, you should avoid driving if you can
to your storage unit in Illinois during snowy, rainy, or
icy weather. Wait for the snow plows and sander trucks to
finish their work. Your possessions are as safe as they
ever were in storage. If it is an emergency to retrieve
something out of your storage unit in Illinois during
extreme weather conditions, please be alert of other
drivers and use the advice provided above by your storage
insider.
The people from the self storage industry and the call
center want you to be safe this winter, especially when
driving to your storage unit in Illinois. You can find more
advice on storage and on self storage trends on one of the
many self storage blog websites. Not only is it time to get
your safety kit out, it's time to retrieve your shovel and
other winter supplies too from your storage unit in
Illinois.

Painting Business - How To Get A Fast Start To Profits
Painting Business - How To Get A Fast Start To Profits
Does it cost a lot of money to get a fast start in the
painting business? In all truthfulness, it will cost you a
fortune if you go about it the wrong way. Going into any
new business without knowing what you are doing is scary.
Believe me, I know from experience. I did it the hard way
and it was a bit rough at times.
I did O.K. stating out. I actually started my painting
business with just a handful of painting tools from my
garage. I had a step ladder and I borrowed an extension
ladder for a while when I needed it. I worked out of the
trunk of my car until I could afford to get a van. No one
seemed to care, so that was cool.
One small glass shop owner owner told me, "Buy tools as you
need them or as the jobs come in." That was good advice.
Each job may require a new special painting tool - so I
would just buy it with my down payment when new work came
in.
Where I really lacked was not knowing how to effectively
estimate new paint jobs. This can cost you a bundle if you
consider the amount of money you could have made vs all the
lost labor spent from under-bidding. There is nothing more
pathetic than seeing new painters giving away their work
and eating up hours of low or no pay. It happens all too
often. Especially with exterior work.
Plus, there is nothing worse than actually making good
money and then all the sudden having business dry up on
you. Especially around the Holidays. Having consistent work
lined up keeps you profitable. It also adds to your
estimating confidence. So knowing how to advertise your new
business effectively is also as important.
So if you really want to know the least expensive route to
go for starting a new painting business or any service-type
business, it is to get educated in the art of effective
advertising and estimating. This way you can make a nice
income right off the bat and keep your business going
smoothly and on a consistent basis.
Ideally this is the first painting tool you need to buy.
Business start-up information from a good source. The right
tools speed up any job. As a matter of fact, I have never
invested in a single painting tool yet that didn't make me
more money. So don't be afraid of spending a little money
on your painting business. Most of the tools are not that
expensive anyway. Your work vehicle will cost you the most.
Just as having the right painting tools will help you turn
your jobs faster, having the right business knowledge will
help you make better and bigger money faster. And you will
be making it on a more consistent basis. Not just busy this
week and slow the next. Instead, we are talking about
having jobs booked up for as much as 6 months in advance.
And you can still take a day off here and there if you want
to.
Getting a good manual written by a professional painter is
the first tool I highly recommend that you should invest
in. It only makes sense (and dollars). If it highlights on
estimating and advertising secrets it is a tremendous
shortcut to profits. This type of painting tool will
definitely put your painting business on steroids.
It is a wise investment in your painting business that I
promise you won't regret. It will pay for itself over and
over again. My first few years as a painter were rough but
you don't have to go through that same amateur learning
process.
Give yourself a fast start to profits today. Your customers
be impressed with your expert service. Your friends and
family will be amazed at your success also. Especially your
wife. And as the old saying goes, a happy wife is a happy
life!

Who Else Needs Your Products or Services?
Who Else Needs Your Products or Services?
You want to grow. So you direct the salespeople to make
calls twice as frequently on their accounts. Not much
happens.
Next, you increase your advertising budget by 10 percent.
Not much happens.
Then you increase your promotional budget and customers
increase their immediate purchases, but sales droop as they
work off the increased inventory they are carrying.
There has to be a better way to grow. What is it?
Attract new types of customers to purchase your offerings.
Most organizations answer the question of who else needs
their offerings by describing more of the same kinds of
customers or beneficiary recipients in some other location.
That answer is helpful as far as it goes, but it doesn't
exhaust the potential.
Keep going. Who else?
Rather than just scratching your head, invite customers,
suppliers, distributors, partners, employees, and those in
the communities you serve to help you.
Procter & Gamble (P&G) got a tip from an employee's family
member about a great product available in Asia for removing
scum from bathroom tiles. On further investigation, the
product was discovered to be made of automobile insulation
produced by BASF, which was already a P&G supplier.
It's highly likely that BASF didn't think of P&G as a
potentially large user for its automobile insulation
material. The story ends happily for BASF thanks to that
P&G family tip.
I once met a marketing specialist for a large company whose
job was to find new uses for the company's products that
would attract more customers. When asked how many new
customers this activity had attracted, the specialist
stroked his chin and softly said, "One." When asked how
much product this one customer had bought, the quantity
turned out to be tiny.
Based on its track record, this company would have done
better to have abandoned its inside-out search.
Here are some questions that may help you find new users as
you reach out to your stakeholders for ideas:
1. What other attributes does your offering have that no
one is yet using?
2. What new, valuable attributes could be added to your
offering?
3. How could your offering be adjusted to substitute for
something else?
4. How could your offering be combined with something else
to add benefits for new users?
5. What can you eliminate from your offering to make it
less expensive to use than a currently preferred
alternative?
Good luck with your hunting for new types of customers!

How to Sell Your Home or Investment Property
How to Sell Your Home or Investment Property
It's off to the market you go. The real estate market that
is, in all its glorious competitiveness.
You want to sell your home or investment property. Are you
ready to sell it?
Are you ready for the finagling, offers and counter-offers?
Can you handle the drama, the lights, cameras and all the
action?
You can if you research before hand what today's real
estate market is like for buying and selling homes.
Today, buyers do their homework. Therefore, you must do
yours. When potential buyers walk through your doors, they
have the knowledge, acquired from doing their homework.
They will know exactly what they want. They will look for
specific upgrades and features. They will know the market
for comparable properties in your area.
You will have to give them a reason to choose yours. This
is where the little things are important when it comes to
selling homes and investment properties.
Right off the bat you have to make sure your product
displays in the best possible light: clean, clean, clean.
Then clean some more. This means top to bottom. Outside is
where it all starts. Your home has to sparkle like a
diamond. The 'wow' factor has to slap the potential buyer
in the face as soon as they step foot in your driveway.
Make sure the driveway's swept and washed; make sure any
potholes and cracks are fixed. Wash the windows from the
outside, and the garage door, and anything else outside
that needs cleaning. Wash the dog if he's going to be
standing around out there.
Mow the lawn...unless you want to hide the dog.
Your garage: unless it's designated a production location
for a remake of Sanford and Son, de-clutter it. Organize
it. Sweep and wash down the floor, if you can find it!
Neatness counts when it comes to selling a house.
Once inside give every room the critical eye. Of course,
make sure any minor repairs get attention before a showing
or open house. The major repairs should not be an issue;
all accomplished well in advance. That dangling ceiling
fan...has it been reattached properly or is ready to propel
itself out the window? Those ceramic tiles in the bathroom;
are they secured back in place? Does their continued
falling play like a scene from the movie Earthquake? You
won't be selling your home if people walk through it
wide-eyed from fear.
Create an easy, unobstructed flow from room to room. Evoke
a sense of freedom and spaciousness. Along with that, allow
as much natural light into the home as is possible. When
selling a house you want to create a positive atmosphere.
You don't want potential buyers to feel they've entered a
Dungeons and Dragons theme park.
Tone down your family's personality in the house. Give it
the 'model home' aura to appeal to a wide range of
personalities who will explore its features.
Consider this too, when selling your house: buyers want the
best price in the best area. If the area you live in is a
high-demand area, are you competitive in your price? Have
you over priced because you feel buyers will pay it because
of the attractiveness of the area? Homes similar to yours
in size, style, upgrades and features may be lower-priced.
They may sell fast, while yours lingers on the market. Of
course, if you feel it deserves a higher price and are
willing to wait it out, see where it takes you.
Selling your home, or any investment property, involves a
commitment from yourself. You want the greatest return. You
have to be willing to devote the time and energy in return,
to ensure a successful sale. Buyers want the best price in
the best location. You want the best price so you can move
out of the location. It's up to you to do the things
necessary to bring both sides together so it can happen.

The Fast Track to Your Financial Freedom (Part 2) - Adding Velocity to Your Investments
The Fast Track to Your Financial Freedom (Part 2) - Adding Velocity to Your Investments
First, I would like to thank everyone for their interest in
the first part of this article - "The Fast Track to Your
Financial Freedom (Part 1) - Leveraging your Money".
Now, you may now be thinking that this whole idea of
leverage is great and earning $81,000 on a $20,000
investment over seven years would be terrific. The problem
with this is "IT'S STILL TOO SLOW." We can still do much
better. Besides leverage, we need to add the principle of
VELOCITY. Here's how it works:
In the first year, the investor takes the $20,000 and buys
the same $200,000 home as previously illustrated in The
Fast Track to Financial Freedom (Part 1) - Leveraging your
Money. The home still appreciates at 5% each year and the
rents on the home cover the expenses of owning the homes,
including the mortgage payment.
After two years, this home will be worth approximately
$220,000. Instead of letting that appreciation sit and
accumulate, the investor borrows it out and buys another
$200,000 home. How is this possible? Quite simply, the
investor puts a second mortgage on the home in an amount
equal to the appreciation. The rent is raised just enough
to cover the interest on this additional loan. (Most
landlords raise the rent at least every two years.)
The second home also is rented out and appreciates at 5%
per year. Every two years, the appreciation for each home
the investor owns is borrowed out and used to buy new homes.
By doing this, at the end of seven years the investor will
own eight homes with a total value of $2,020,000 and equity
of $273,000. This is compared to equity of only $101,000
if the investor only bought the first home and compared to
equity of $39,000 if the investor had relied on the
compound interest from mutual funds. This is what we call
VELOCITY. Velocity of money is simply the process of
continually moving money into new and better investments.
At a net equity of $273,000 the investor has more than
thirteen times their original investment in seven years.
This is so much better than compound interest that most
people have a difficult time believing it.
When I do this demonstration in a seminar, there is always
at least one person who will not believe it is possible.
At that point, I ask the audience if anyone has ever put
the concepts of leverage and velocity into practice.
Invariably, someone raises their hand and explains that in
actual practice, it has worked much faster than what I have
demonstrated, because of the very conservative nature of
this demonstration.
You probably would be thrilled with this level of returns.
Our clients at ProVision would be disappointed in a value
of ONLY $2 million at the end of seven years from a $20,000
investment. Why? Because, this return does not factor in
any of the tax benefits from investing. Tax benefits, when
properly taken, CAN DOUBLE YOUR INVESTMENT. Here's how.
Let's go back to our example. Suppose our investor is in a
combined federal and state tax bracket of 35%. Suppose
also that our investor has excellent tax advisors, like
those at ProVision, who understand the MAGIC OF
DEPRECIATION.
Depreciation, quite simply, is a non-cash deduction each
year for a portion of the purchase price of the rental real
estate. This deduction will put a considerable amount of
money back into the pocket of the investor.
Suppose that the investor takes the tax savings from the
depreciation and uses it to purchase additional
single-family homes. And just like the other homes, every
two years, the investor borrows out the appreciation and
buys another homes. At 10% down and 5% annual
appreciation, with just the original $20,000 investment and
the tax savings from depreciation, at the end of seven
years, the investor will own the following:
- 16 homes with a total value of $4,200,000
- Net equity of $540,000, or roughly double the net equity
of $273,000 without the tax benefits
- Annual appreciation after the seven years of $210,000 per
year
- All with a single initial investment of $20,000
So let's recap. If the investor had listened to a typical
financial advisor, the investor would have invested $20,000
in a mutual fund and, with a very good market, would have
$39,000 at the end of seven years. On the other hand, if
the investor had used the concepts of leverage and
velocity, including tax benefits, the investor would have
$540,000 at the end of seven years and a portfolio worth
over $4 million.
What's amazing about the concepts of leverage and velocity
is that they are not limited to real estate. They work
equally well in business and in the stock market. But if
these concepts are so great, why doesn't' the average
investor use them? The answer is simply, KNOWLEDGE AND
EFFORT.
There is one final factor - EFFORT. It is easy to give
your money to an investment advisor and it is easy for the
advisor to put the money in a mutual fund. It is not
nearly as easy to gain the knowledge necessary to put the
concepts of leverage and velocity to work in real estate,
business or the stock market. It takes effort, both from
the investor AND from the investor's advisors.
Warmest Regards,
Tom

King Or Queen Of The Internet - It Could Be You!
King Or Queen Of The Internet - It Could Be You!
Do you want to become a King or Queen of the Internet? What
is it going to take for you to succeed?
The path to internet business success is filled with trials
and tribulations. However, to become successful online, you
have to overcome these struggles. Many people begin working
online under the false presumption that it really can't be
that difficult. While it's not difficult per se, there is a
learning curve involved. Some may gawk at the idea of it
taking 3-6 months to become a master in your chosen area.
Success doesn't happen overnight though. Many experienced
internet home business marketers will tell you that it
takes time to become an online King or Queen.
Attitude Is Everything
The most important thing that will lead you to becoming a
master of the internet is your own attitude. You have to
possess a strong will to make things happen, no matter what
comes your way. If so many others have become successful
marketing online, why can't you? "Believe and you will
achieve," holds true to internet marketing as well.
Trial And Error
You can read all about how to do something in a book, but
until you actually get out there and do it for yourself,
you'll never know exactly what it takes. Any new business
requires trial and error. You have to apply what you've
learned.
Picture your business as an adventure. You are unsure of
what is to come, but you are willing to take on anything
that comes your way. You have to be able to overcome
obstacles along the way. To become a King or Queen of the
Internet, you have to be willing to go outside of your
comfort zone.
Invest In Your Future
In the beginning of your marketing experience there are
many things that you can do to promote your business for
free. However, at some point you are going to have to start
investing in your business. My advice is sooner rather than
later.
Many people make the mistake of skimping on their
advertising budget. The old adage is definitely true, "If
you want to make money, you have to spend money." You could
spend $5,000 per month advertising, but if you earn $50,000
in that same month, it's all relative.
You also have to reinvest your earnings. That brand new
house or car might look intriguing, but just think of how
much more you could have if you are patient and grow your
business. Don't get greedy.
It is possible to become a King or Queen of online
marketing, but it won't happen overnight. Be patient and
keep learning.

Hannah Montana Concert Tickets
Hannah Montana Concert Tickets
Disney is one of the biggest names in the entertainment
world. "Hannah Montana" is their hit show. If you have seen
the popular series you will know that Hannah is a pop star
in the show played by Miley Cyrus. Therefore the planned
concert is an extension of the storyline into the real
world. Now you can see her performing live on the "Hannah
Montana Concert" Best of Both Worlds Tour to support her
album "Hannah Montana 2 : Meet Miley Cirus". To get your
Hannah Montana concert tickets you need to know where to go
and get there fast.
Price Range
Hannah Montana Concert tickets are available in the price
range of about $170 to $670. These range from the
affordable class to the luxury class. However as mentioned
below brokers are selling tickets at very high rates too.
If you have never been to a concert then this is one to
take your kids to. Well worth the price, to see your kids
singing along live with Hannah aka Miley.
Heavy rush
This is because there is heavy rush for Hannah Montana
Concert tickets. Those on offer through official channels
were sold in no time. In the secondary ticket market they
are making huge profits by keeping prices very high.
However do not get disheartened. There are also companies
that sell authentic tickets and are reliable. You can even
get a discount from some of them. Brokers snatch joy from
Hannah Montana fans Middleman brokers are making huge
profits at cost of genuine Hannah fans. Genuine customers
have to pay from about 6 to 30 times of the legitimate $ 63
Hannah Montana Concert tickets. A family living in Florida
complained of being unable to get tickets when they wanted
to show their daughter her first concert. But it is not
restricted to any single area, the frustration is sweeping
the entire country. Everywhere, whether in Moline, Omaha,
New York or Los Angeles the concert tickets were sold in
minutes. It is said that some persons are considering suing
because they did not get a fair chance to buy the tickets
at the offer price.
So How do I get Tickets?
Well the best way to get these tickets is to act as fast as
you can because they aren't going to be available in the
next few weeks, especially with the Christmas season on
it's way. These Hannah Montana Concert Tickets are hot
items on Santa's lists. I have found a great resource site
that has helped me when the Best of Both Worlds tour came
to SLC, Utah.

4 Home Business Residual Income Tips
4 Home Business Residual Income Tips
I personally like residual income programs. When you
combine that with your own home business, you really have
the best of both worlds. In this article we want to go over
4 home business residual income tips that you can use to
eventually set yourself up with a walkaway income.
1. Sell Memberships
Affiliate marketing offers many programs that you can sell
memberships to and earn commissions over and over for
making that sale one time. Website hosting comes to mind,
selling a monthly membership to a private label rights
program comes to mind, and things like this.
If the membership that you are selling is valuable enough
people will say stay subscribed to it and you will earn an
ongoing commission over and over for making one sale.
2. Sell A Subscription To A Service You Start
This is an area where you provide a service and can earn an
income on that every month. This is a residual income in
the way that you do not have to send a bill out, but rather
they are billed automatically for their subscription.
Examples of this might be posting in blogs, writing
articles, submitting a website to a search engine, updating
an autoresponder series, and things like this.
3. 2 Tier Affiliate Programs
With affiliate marketing, you get paid to sell other
people's products. With two-tier affiliate programs, you
get paid to recruit people to sell other people's products.
You then earn a commission on the sales that they make. If
you find the right products, and the right affiliate
marketers, you can earn a tremendous residual income on
their efforts.
4. Network Marketing
This is an old school way of earning residual income. By
developing a downline of distributors you can earn income
on the efforts of literally thousands of people underneath
you.
It becomes a residual income when you no longer have to
recruit and train and your income continues on. The
Internet is really helping people create home business
residual incomes today through multilevel marketing. And it
can be done much quicker than ever before.
This is four forms of home business residual incomes.
Today, it is not uncommon for people to earn income and all
four of these at the same time.
If you are the type of person they can manage your time and
multitask the sky is the limit when it comes to creating
residual income and securing your future. You just have to
work harder now so you do not have to work hard later.

Here Is One Startup Home Based Business Idea
Here Is One Startup Home Based Business Idea
Perhaps you are sitting at home today trying to figure out
how you can make extra money. If you are online right now
than you're certainly in the right place at the right time.
In this article, we want to talk about a start up
home-based business idea that anyone can use to start
making money today.
Our home-based start up home business will contain three
elements
1. A market targeting the Internet newbie.
2. A moneymaking website that sells products geared towards
this market.
3. An e-mail newsletter to fall up for future sales.
First of all let's talk about what an Internet marketing
newbie is. This is a person, maybe such as yourself, that
does not know what they are doing when it comes to Internet
marketing.
It is an excellent target market, because if you can
provide them with a lead by the hand program and help them
get started you can make money. The downside to the
Internet marketing newbie is that many of them do not have
money and therefore will not be able to create any income
for you at first.
You need a moneymaking website that sells products geared
towards the Internet newbie because some of this target
market is willing to spend money on training. Your website
will contain products to teach people how to start their
own home based business and become successful with Internet
marketing.
By catering to this market you can create an income for
yourself while helping other people do the same. Plus as we
said, there is a never ending supply of people coming
online every day looking for ways to make money, so you
never run out of leads.
We include an e-mail newsletter in our startup home based
business idea, because the fortune is in the follow-up.
When it comes to Internet marketing some people out to see
things as many as 12 times before they make a purchase. By
building an email marketing list that you can follow up
with over and over, you can create future sales for
yourself promoting to your list.
This is an example of one startup home based business idea.
When you analyze our idea you see that you can do the same
thing for virtually any product niche. It is important that
you pick a market to target that will allow you to sell
products online, as well as via an autoresponder to follow
up with.
Then you spend the majority of your time on advertising and
promotion getting traffic to your new website and email
autoresponder.

Will the Real Chinese Stand Up?
Will the Real Chinese Stand Up?
For the student wanting to learn Chinese, the first
question that comes up is what Chinese dialect should I
learn? There are several main regional groups of Chinese.
The most populous dialects are Mandarin with approximately
850 million speakers, Wu with 90 million, Min with about
70 million, and Cantonese with 70 million.
Mandarin therefore is the main dialect in China both in
numerical terms and as well as being sanctioned as the main
language by the Chinese government and therefore of most
benefit to the aspiring student. The word Mandarin is a
translation from the Beijing expression guan-hu
meaning "official language" that was the dialect of this
city for many centuries. This dialect was accepted as the
official language at the beginning of the 20th century.
Mandarin is also spoken in Taiwan though differences in
syntax and vocabulary do exist.
Wu is spoken in the Zhejiang province, the municipality of
Shanghai, southern province of Jiangsu as well as parts of
the Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces. Min is spoken in
the southeastern province of Fujian as well as by migrants
from this province to Guangdong, Hainan, three counties in
southern Zhejiang, and the Zhoushan archipelago, and
Taiwan. In contrast, the areas with the highest
concentration of speakers of Cantonese are in Guangdong
province, parts of Guanx, in southern mainland China, Hong
Kong and Macua. Of the four official languages that are
spoken in Singapore, hu yu, is based on the dialect
of Beijing, though once again differences are present.
Native Mandarin speakers number about 70 per cent of the
total of the population of China and live mainly in the
western plains region. This region includes the central
Y ngzi, the plain of Hu i, the neoriental plain,
Sichuan and the the provinces of Guangxi, Gu izhou and
Yunan.
The different dialects spoken are normally understood by
the different language groups and can be divided as
follows: Septentrional, spoken in the northern region and
it includes the dialect of Pek n; Noroccidental, which
includes the dialects of the Loess plain and the
territories to the west; Southoccidental, spoken in Sichuan
and the adhacent regions; and Oriental, that represent the
dialects spoken in Nanking.
Chinese is a tonal language. The tonal difference is one of
the most common variations among the different Chinese
dialects. At times it happens that the dialects of two
villages separated only by a few kilometers have different
tonal systems. For example, the tonal system of the dialect
spoken in Pekin is the typical way of speaking in the
septentrional region.
In this area Mandarin of Beijing represents one of the
simplest Chinese dialects from the point of view of the
tonal aspect, having four different tones that indicate the
four levels of the words: high, very high, medium and
fallen high.
The romanization system officially adopted by the
government of Beijing, called pinyin, represents the tones
making use of diacritical superimposed signs on the nuclear
vocal of the word.

A Disturbing Trend in Our Society: The Lack of Trust in Our Institutions - Part 2
A Disturbing Trend in Our Society: The Lack of Trust in Our Institutions - Part 2
Copyright 2007 Ed Bagley
Major corporations (big businesses) are losing the trust of
consumers as well. Many score record quarterly performances
on the backs of workers and then announce another round of
layoffs to improve their profitability, leaving
technological advances and the workers that are left to
pick up the slack.
Chief executive officers who really have not improved the
company get asked to leave and walk out the door with a
$210 million going away compensation package. This all
looks pretty unfair, not to mention stupid, to workers.
The term "corporate fat cats" represents an injustice to
many workers. If the company board of directors had lost
enough trust in the CEO to fire him, why pay him $210
million in compensation to leave?
Another private-equity firm paid its CEO $400 million for
his services last year, more than a million dollars a day
in income for every day of the year.
What can I say about the nation's press? Only that it does
not even publish the news anymore. Virtually every article
is now "personal journalism" with the author's views about
news events, and the rest of newspapers and newscasts
merely print or broadcast propaganda from their news
sources.
Everyone from Hollywood publicists to politicians to the
White House officials puts their own spin on all news
events. There is no news reporting, only their reaction to
news events based upon whatever pap they are peddling.
Politicians and presidential candidates are so caught up in
carving out their own legacy and future prosperity they
would not recognize or acknowledge the truth unless it
served their own misguided purposes.
If you have not taken the time to notice, being a
politician at the state or national level is one of the
best and most lucrative jobs in America today.
There is so much carping and contentious infighting that
nobody is responsible for anything that happens to the
electorate.
There is also so much lying, cheating, stealing and immoral
behavior going on that should anything good come from our
elected officials it would be more by accident than design.
Politicians view it as a happy accident. They are too
self-centered and self-absorbed in their own wonderfulness
to worry about actually doing something rather than
continually protecting their own power base and perceived
influence.
I believe the majority of Americans are so disgusted with
politicians today that they do not really give a crap about
what they represent because they know that they are not
representing them no matter which party they claim. Count
me in that group.
Even the hallowed ivy halls of our educational institutions
are taking a beating.
Too many tenured professors at many major colleges are not
only practicing their liberal beliefs, they are preaching
their permissive brand of liberalism. They stifle the
exchange of ideas while promoting personal self-expression
with little effort to recognize and teach basic,
fundamental American values, including truth, integrity,
responsibility, accountability and common sense.
Perhaps the only thing more important to them than actually
teaching these basic, respected values is their own ego
trip of self-righteousness. Many of these educated idiots
believe that they can look at any major issue, decide what
is right for everyone based solely on their intelligence,
and then develop a social engineering program to make it
happen.
Far too many of our college students are so brilliant when
they graduate that they know exactly what is right for them
and everyone else, what entitlements they are owed based on
their continued breathing, and are quick to point out
everything that is wrong everywhere.
The fact that they are not nearly as educated and literate
as they think they are is just an aside. Like young people
from every generation, you cannot share anything with them
because they already know everything and can contribute
little to the advancement of society until they grow up and
embrace responsibility, accountability and integrity.
When you have tenured research professors working on
health-related studies that are earning two, three and four
times their salary from the same companies for whom they
are doing the research. You realize there is no integrity
left on campus as conflict and corruption has reached the
highest levels of so-called leadership. No wonder there is
little trust left in our educational institutions.
We look to our traditional churches to teach positive
values, however, these churches are also losing trust among
their followers.
It would appear that many of the leaders of these
institutions will, like common prostitutes, sell themselves
to the highest bidder. For many of these leaders, money
will trump self-respect, integrity will give way to
notoriety, and truth will become irrelevant to purpose.
If I sound like a social critic, I am. For any half-wit
who will pay attention I am giving a clarion call to
action. The good news is that you can rise above the
current circumstances.
Those who would create distrust may sully the environment,
but they cannot force you to follow their errant ways. You
can live and act differently, and I advise you to do so.

How to excel at Part 2 of the card-giving process
How to excel at Part 2 of the card-giving process
Writing inside a card can be one of the easiest - and the
most difficult part of the card giving process.
We think we've done the hard bit - in finally choosing the
right type of card for the occasion. We put all our
energies into deciding on the most appropriate style and
form of card and then after all that effort we're faced
with another decision!
What do we want to say inside our card?
If we've opted out of the whole process then we may
(perhaps subconsciously) have bought a card that 'did it
all for us'!
You know the type - the one with a smaltzy or even part-way
acceptable greeting that in our mind - 'will do'.
As we struggle to find the right card we're often only
concentrating on the image on the front. Little did we
know as we trawled online or in the card shops that's we'd
have to find both the card front - and the greeting
acceptable.
When the choosing is over we may want to reward ourselves
with a nice cup of tea (or something stronger). But the
story isn't over, because there we are, right back into
just one more stage in the card giving process.
A process? Who said it was a process? Yup! The card
choosing was Stage 1. Stage 2 is the writing part, and
Stage 3, the giving....
So what about the idea of "Never running out of things to
write on cards again".
It's a nice thought isn't it - especially for those of us
often at a loss of what to say, and how to say it.
We might get one bit right. We might know what we want to
say, but the actual saying of it, well there it is. Stuck
in the throat, tied up in verbal garbage, lost in panic.
We did have the thought, honestly, but sometimes it's just
all too easy to give it all over to the card publishers and
let them do it for us.
And then all you have to do (if you can face the music
later) is to sign the thing. Yes, a plain swirly signature
that takes up half the card will do nicely for some of us.
But for the lucky person getting the card, such apathy in
the message writing stakes smacks of 'couldn't care less',
and that's not the image you want to give really is it?
After all, you've probably 'wasted' some considerable time,
energy and not to say money on getting to this stage in the
first place. So don't they deserve a note, a greeting, a
personal howdydoody? Of course they do.
It reminds me of my brother. There he is half way round
the world, sending only sporadic emails and the yearly
Christmas Card. It's not that he doesn't do affection.
He, like many others just finds it hard to say - and to
write!
So there we all are, The Family, included in the mass
Christmas Card send - and what do we get inside? His and
her signatures, probably written at a lengthy Tablefest.
Now I'm not ungrateful, but when it's come thousands of
miles - and we only saw him just 4 weeks previously at a
family wedding, you'd think there would have been a
comment. But no. As a family we had to agree that he
didn't do writing, but he had sent the card....
Is that how you want your card writing moment to be
remembered? Because remembered it will be. You see the
message - how it is written, and how it is given is all
part of the process of being a super-duper card giver. So
if you really want to have something up your sleeve for all
eventualities, you really have to get into the spirit of
the thing:
To know just what your card and message means to the
person you're giving it to
To realise that some cards will be kept for a
considerable time, looked at again and shared with others
To appreciate that your EXACT words are as important
as the writing of them
To remember that you don't have to be an 'author'-
just another human being saying it from the heart
That sometimes you just do have to say something
appropriate - rather than something offensive
That some thought is better than no thought
That a signature just won't do for important
occasions
That you may be lucky enough to get a card back one
day - with a special message too
With that said, what to write is still a struggle. Knowing
we should isn't the same as being able to.Taking it one
step at a time though will make the task easier, and more
enjoyable.

Automobile Accidents: Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers
Automobile Accidents: Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers
When a driver is in an automobile accident with another
driver who has insurance with proper coverage, recovery for
damages is generally straightforward. However, not every
driver carries automobile insurance, which is in violation
of state compulsory automobile insurance laws, or has the
proper coverage. People do drive vehicles without insurance
and are cause an increasing number of accidents each year.
When an automobile accident involves an
uninsured/underinsured motorist, recovery for damages
becomes more difficult. An uninsured motorist refers to a
person who is the driver responsible for causing the
automobile accident (the at fault driver) and has not
insured their vehicle. An underinsured motorist refers to a
person who is the driver responsible for causing the
automobile accident (the at fault driver) and has insured
their vehicle but at limits that are insufficient to cover
all of the damages sustained in the automobile accident.
If a driver is involved in an automobile accident with
another driver who is uninsured or underinsured, the driver
would be compensated by their insurance company if they had
purchased uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in their
insurance policy. This covers property damage--such as car
repairs, bodily injury--such as medical expenses, and other
compensatory damages--such as pain and suffering. Uninsured
motorist coverage also comes into play when injuries are
sustained due to a hit-and-run automobile accident.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can also be used
if a person is hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian.
It is extremely risky to drive without insurance or without
proper insurance, so always be sure that your insurance is
up to date and covers all of your motor vehicles' needs. If
you are properly covered, then your insurance should cover
the costs of an accident, should you be at fault. If the
other driver is at fault, then their insurance should pay.
However, in the case that the other driver does not have
insurance or their insurance isn't sufficient, it is wise
to have an insurance plan that covers you even if you are
hit by someone without insurance.
Although a driver can possibly sue a uninsured/underinsured
motorist if their insurance does not include
uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, there is no
guarantee that the uninsured/underinsured motorist will
have the money or assets to pay the judgment. Therefore,
including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in an
insurance policy simply makes sense.
If you have been in an automobile accident and have
suffered injuries, you may have a legal case. If you would
like to contact a lawyer, please use the Find Attorney
button at the top of the page.

Forget the Score
Forget the Score
Sometimes we need to do things differently to improve. If
you've done any weight training, you know that body
builders often change their routines. Their bodies get used
to a routine, and to get the most out of the time spent
working out, they try to "fool" their bodies by doing
something different. Changing their routine also overcomes
boredom, makes working out more interesting, and maximizes
each training session.
If you're serious about driving down your golf handicap,
try something different every once in a while, something
that "freshens" up the game and gets you to look at how
you're playing in a new light. One thing you might try is
to forget about your score next time you play. Announce
your total for each hole to whoever is keeping score, but
don't ask to know your final score until the round is over.
Benefits of Forgetting About the Score
Tracking your total score hole by hole can be a recipe for
disaster. If you're not playing well, you get more and more
discouraged as the day goes by and your score mounts. If
you've set a specific score as your target for the round,
you may get even more discouraged once you pass that target.
On the other hand, if you're playing well and you're on
track to hit your target score, you can really get upset
when you have a bad hole, turning a good round into a bad
psychologically. In other words, keeping your total score
sometimes takes the fun out of playing golf and prevents
you from focusing on learning.
Forgetting about the score provides several benefits,
including staying in the present. If you've read my golf
tips, you know I advocate this as a way of playing your
best. When you stay in the present, you forget about past
shots and future shots. You also forget about everything
but making the shot at hand. And that's the way it should
be. Once you've made the shot, you can relax until the next
one.
Forgetting about the score also allows you to concentrate
on improving your game, rather than trying to achieve a
specific score. Instead of trying to do things that take
you out of your rhythm or are beyond your present
capabilities, you can focus on playing target golf. You can
also focus on your swing, on its rhythm and tempo, and on
slowing it down, rather than driving the ball out of sight.
In other words, forgetting about your total score
encourages you to stay within yourself, something I also
advocate in my golf tips.
In addition, you can keep track of things that will help
you improve your game and lower your golf handicap. You can
track how many fairways you hit, for example, or how many
times you hit the green in regulation. You can also track
of how many total putts you had and how many holes you
three-putted. And you can track how many "saves" you had.
Tracking information like this is a good way to gauge the
strengths and weaknesses of your game and pinpoint things
you need to work on.
Take Advantage of Online Help
In addition to forgetting about the score, try searching
the Internet for ways to improve your game. Golf Digest's
Web site, for example, offers the Golf Digest Challenge.
Designed to provide personal golf instruction, the GD
Challenge helps you track statistics related to your game
as a way of improving your play. It's a free service, so
all you have to do is sign up and enter your scores. The
Web site does the rest.
The GD Challenge helps you lower your golf handicap by
channeling your energies toward specific weaknesses in your
game. The Challenge provides tools like a short game and
long game handicap that can help you practice smarter. It
provides tips and drills that are geared to your game. And
it provides a video library of golf lessons that can help
you improve your swing. These tools are invaluable when it
comes to improving your play
The GD Challenge offers a fresh approach to evaluating your
game. By changing what you do, you may be able to improve
your play, lower your golf handicap, and get more fun out
of the game. No matter how much you enjoy golf, it never
hurts to try something different. You never know. It may
help you take your game to a whole new level.

Establishing Connections On MySpace
Establishing Connections On MySpace
A resource that many business people and other types of
entrepreneurs tend to ignore is MySpace. The thinking about
MySpace tends to fall along the lines of 'MySpace is a
website for kids'. Interestingly enough however, nowhere on
the MySpace site does it make any mention of MySpace being
a resource for the young. In fact, MySpace requests of its
users that they be at least fourteen years old, the clear
indication being that MySpace is meant for those with at
least some level of maturity.
If MySpace isn't meant for the very young, does that mean
it's an acceptable destination for the mature? In other
words, are adults welcome on MySpace? The reality is that
MySpace doesn't belong to any particular demographic. All
that's required to establish a presence on MySpace is to
set up a MySpace profile, which is a quite simple process.
Some people unfamiliar with MySpace may think the MySpace
community will effectively chase out someone who doesn't
fit a certain background. Be assured that this is not the
case.
The better question to ask is whether it's worth it for a
business or independent entrepreneur to establish a
presence on MySpace to begin with. The answer here is
unequivocally yes. There are over one hundred million
profiles on the MySpace site. It's certainly true that not
every MySpace profile corresponds to one individual: many
people have more than one MySpace profile. But even
accepting for the fact that people have multiple profiles,
it's still a safe bet that there are tens of millions of
people using the MySpace site. With these types of numbers,
the possibilities for networking and maybe even advertising
are enormous.
MySpace has different sorts of organizations operating on
the site. These organizations are simply groups of people
who share common interests and goals and have come together
to share experiences. There are any number of business
related organizations on MySpace. It makes perfect sense
for someone with an interest in business to join one or
many of these organizations and to become established as a
part of the community. The ultimate outcome of being an
active participant on MySpace in this way could very well
be meeting people who can share your interests and goals,
and perhaps even meeting someone who can help you move your
own goals forward.
What's important to have a successful MySpace experience is
to allow for a natural development of relationships, and
not to push or force the issue. There's nothing wrong with
being assertive and reaching out, but draw the line at
being demanding. Offer yourself as an asset and a friend,
and others will typically respond in kind.

3 Ways to Eliminate Holiday Stress
3 Ways to Eliminate Holiday Stress
Holiday stress is definitely a popular subject. Over the
years, I have absorbed stress during the holidays with
juggling children, family, cooking, working, shopping, and
on top of it all trying to be creative with my gift ideas.
I'm a woman and women always take the lion's share of
holiday stress. Women believe that they have to do it
all. They don't!
Time and finances are impacted significantly during the
holidays, and they are the two major reasons why people
feel stress. Financial stress can last the whole year if
one is overspending. What if all of us were to change our
current patterns and do the holidays differently.
The underlying desire with all this busyness is to
celebrate and share the holidays together. If women keep
their focus around "sharing," they will be able to minimize
stress levels. Women know how to "give" and are
reluctant to share. Sharing is a back and forth
process....so here are my three good tips for busy women.
Time is our most valuable resource...how do you want to use
it?
-Know what makes the holidays special to you. Choose 3
"must do's" that make the holidays for you. For example,
cooking your special dishes, religious expression, or being
with your family and friends. Everything else is
negotiable...do or don't, that is your choice.
-Learn to Delegate...organize all of the tasks that are
part of the holidays. You have to organize it anyway. Take
the list and then find your resources. You may be
surprised to find that family and friends actually want to
participate and share in the making of the holidays. It's
all in your presentation,...express your desire to share
the holidays and ask for their support. Another great
resource for help...caterers, house cleaners, online
shopping sites (don't have to leave home), or the teenager
next store.
-Financial Savvy: Yes, it is so much fun to see the
expressions of others when they open your gifts. Yet, do
you want to spend the rest of the year paying off the bill.
Keep your gift giving simple...you don't have to prove
anything to anyone.
For family and friends, do a Secret Santa or Secret Giver
(non-religious). The idea behind this is everyone picks
one name and buys for that person. Select a dollar limit
for the gift and keep it a secret. Everyone shares in the
gift buying and finances equally.
For children, limit the number of gifts and let them know
ahead of time. Instead of spending money or using your time
away from them for shopping, give them the gift of time.
You can cook together, share a hot chocolate while watching
their favorite movie, play a game or read to them. It's a
special gift for both of you to share and that special time
will be remembered for years to come.
After the holidays are all over, take the time to review
what worked and what didn't work for you. You know what
to do with what doesn't work - eliminate it, take it off
your "to do" list for next year. Highlight what worked and
then you will be prepared for next year's celebration.

6 Signs Your Spouse May Be Cheating
6 Signs Your Spouse May Be Cheating
No one wants to think their spouse is cheating on them. But
let's face it, in these days and times it happens, and it
may be happening to you. In this article we want to look at
six signs your spouse may be cheating and how you can
recognize those.
1. Trust Your Instincts
No one knows your spouse better than you. Beyond paranoia,
sometimes you have to learn to trust your instincts. If
things do not seem right between you and your spouse there
may be a reason for that. At this point if you have an open
relationship you should be able to talk to them to help get
rid of your suspicions.
2. Remember Our Sex Life
A definite sign that a spouse may be cheating on you is
changes in their sexual desire. If your sex life has
changed or dropped off in any way then is possible your
spouse may be having sex elsewhere. The flipside is if your
spouse suddenly seems more adventurous and wanting to
experiment with new things.
3. You Sure Look Nice Today
If you find yourself repeating this phrase more often than
in the past you may want to consider the reason why. Does
your spouse have a reason for wanting to dress up or to
lose weight, and to make themselves more presentable. Along
those lines is your spouse taking more showers than normal.
This could be a sign that they want to hide the evidence.
4. Trying To Justify
Many times if the spouse is cheating, they may begin to try
to justify their behavior. This could come in the form of
being more critical of you, which in their own mind may
make them think it's okay to do what they're doing. They
can also feel more guilty, which leads to more attention
given to you in the form of gifts and just overall been
more nice.
5. I'm Working Late Again
If you find your spouse is spending more time to work after
hours than they used to you need to figure out why. It is
possible that the have taken on an additional workload and
are being asked to do more than they have in the past. But
it's also possible that they're not even at work or that
the person that they're cheating with is someone from work.
6. That's Not Mine
If you start feeling that you're saying the words that's
not my hair, smell of perfume, lipstick, or other things
you notice that are not yours, you need to question who's
is it. That's a definite sign that you're spouse may be
cheating on you. Other things, include expenses that would
normally not be on your credit card card including eating
out, condoms, long-distance phone calls and presents.
This is just six signs your spouse may be cheating on you.
There may be others and we go back to number one where we
said, you need to learn to trust your instincts. If you
have any doubts confront your spouse and get everything out
in the open as soon as possible.

4 Benefits Of Buying From a Gift Shop Online
4 Benefits Of Buying From a Gift Shop Online
Purchasing gifts online is becoming more popular due to a
number of reasons. Certainly going outside to shop is
affected by such things as crowds, gas prices, traffic, and
other things.These are not reasons that people are shopping
online when they need to purchase a gift, however.
In this article we will look at four benefits of buying
from a gift shop online that had nothing to do with with
what's going on outside of your front door.
- The first thing we want to talk about is the convenience
of shopping online. Using the Internet to make your
purchases are convenient because you can shop anytime you
want 24 hours a day and the online gift shop never closes.
If you work odd ours that find yourself asleep when stores
are open, and working when stores are closed, you'll
appreciate things like the gift shop online.
Even for people who work the traditional eight to five job
the convenience of shopping online is hard to ignore.
Certainly there are times when you don't feel like shopping
and would rather watch television. But then if for some
reason you do if you like shopping, all you do is walk over
to your computer, and log onto your favorite online gift
shop, and you can be shopping.
- Secondly let's talk about availability of stores. The
Internet makes it possible for you to shop virtually
anywhere in the world that ships to where you live. If you
find that special gift shop online that has what you're
looking for you can feel comfortable ordering from them
without having to physically visit their store. This is not
possible when you walk outside and shop because you're
limited in your ability to shop only at stores that are
within driving range of your front door.
- Thirdly let's talk about comparison shopping. You can
quickly compare prices on various items online. It will be
hard to do that when you're shopping at its traditional
retail store. You can also compare various items that you
would never see in a traditional store. You can look at
things like size, color, availability, and these sort of
things, to determine if you wish to make a purchase that
day online or not.
- Finally let's talk about shipping your product. There
are a variety of shipping methods available to you
including express shipping. If you're in a bind and forgot
about a special birthday or an anniversary, and need a gift
in a hurry, express shipping can really bail you out. You
can go to your favorite gift shop online, make the
purchase, determine how quickly you need a product shipped,
and pay for it all in a matter of minutes.
This is 4 benefits of buying from a gift shop online that I
can think of. Perhaps you can think of others of your own.

Why Private Label Rights Are A Great Internet Home Business Idea
Why Private Label Rights Are A Great Internet Home Business Idea
One of the hottest ways to make Money on the Internet right
now is private label right products. There are a number of
reasons for this. Sometimes one thing that is overlooked
though is you can create your own product and then turn
around and market it as a PLR product.
In this article we want to talk about why I think this is a
tremendous Internet home business idea if you possess some
knowledge or skill that you could turn into a product of
your own.
Because of the number of people coming online every day
looking for private label products to sell the market is
already there for you. If you have any experience, either
in freelance writing or in creating software, then you very
well could start your own private label product business
and make a lot of money from it.
Let's say that once a month you set a goal to create your
own private label right product and then turn around and
offer it as a resale right product. What you need to do
every month is be able to identify niches that people are
in need of a solution for.
The Internet of course is the best place to do that. There
are a number of individuals or companies that advertise
needing a specific product. All you need to do is find one
of those that you can create a product for and you can be
on your way to making money. Does this sound like an
Internet home business idea you could do?
The product itself can be something as simple as a
collection of articles, a software program, a report, or
even an e-book. Once you've created the product our goal
now is to look for people who can sell it for you. Why
would you want to do that?
Certainly, you can keep the product for yourself and sell
it, or you can sell the product with rights and get more
people purchasing it. That way they then have the right to
turn around and sell and make money themselves. There will
always be a larger market of people looking to make money
than there are people looking for a solution to the problem
that your product solves.
To sell your product as a PLR product you just need to
create a webpage where people can have access to it. Once
they have bought it you give them the right to sell it. You
do not have to create a license to sell private label right
products, but you will want to create a resale right
license specifically stating what rights people have with
your product if you offer it as a resell right product.
Generally a resale right product comes without the ability
to make changes to it. A private label right product gives
the buyer the right to alter it in any way that they see
fit.
As you can see this offers a tremendous Internet home
business idea. If the right person is creative and can come
up with products that are in demand this can be a very
profitable business venture.

Help ! ! I Think I Have Signs of Schizophrenia
Help ! ! I Think I Have Signs of Schizophrenia
When literally translated from its Greek roots, the word
"schizophrenia" means "split mind." It is this translation
that has led many people to confuse multiple personality
disorder with schizophrenia. While they are so similar that
scientists used to classify MPD as a form of schizophrenia,
it has since been proven that the two diseases are actually
independent of each other. This article is going to give a
basic rundown of the signs of schizophrenia.
Delusions are very common signs of schizophrenia with
people suffering from signs of schizophrenia. Delusion is
the word that is given to beliefs that the schizophrenic
has that other people do not also have. An example of this
is the belief that somehow their internal thoughts are
being broadcast for the rest of the world to hear.
Delusions can also come in the form of thinking that they
are being hunted down by an outside entity. Sometimes
delusions come in the form of the schizophrenic believing
that he or she has super powers and super abilities that
they do not actually have.
Hallucinations are another of the common signs of
schizophrenia. Hallucinations are typically in the form of
voices heard by the person who is suffering from the
disease. The voices come from outside of the
schizophrenic's head (this is one of the major differences
between multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia).
Sometimes the voices do not have a physical point of
origin. Sometimes the voices come from something that would
not ordinarily be talking and sometimes the voices come
from people that only the schizophrenic can see and hear.
These hallucinations often encourage or influence the
schizophrenic's behaviour. Sometimes the hallucinations
take on other sensations like smells and tastes.
Disorganized thinking and languages are more of the common
signs of schizophrenia. People who suffer from
schizophrenia will sometimes talk in ways that are
difficult for other people to understand. Their thoughts
will sometimes stop following a coherent pattern and their
speech can vary wildly. Schizophrenics will often talk
about several subjects at the same time but will not
connect the subjects to a central theme. They will skip
from subject to subject without warning.
There are a multitude of other signs of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenics are often depressed, prone to mood swings
and have problems connecting with other people. They can be
very withdrawn. Schizophrenics will have a hard time going
about their daily tasks like bathing, getting dressed and
eating. Some other signs of schizophrenia include problems
with movement. There is a form of schizophrenia called
Catatonic schizophrenia. With catatonic schizophrenia, the
patient can be just as likely to stop moving altogether as
they are to experience erratic and uncontrollable movement.
Most of the signs of schizophrenia are also associated with
other mental disorders and because of this, the disease can
be hard to diagnose. The key to getting treatment is to see
a professional as soon as possible if you or someone you
know starts to exhibit signs of schizophrenia.
Tip #1
Schizophrenia is not the same thing as having multiple
personality disorder. In multiple personality disorder a
person has a number of independent identities that all
share one host body. Typically one of the personalities is
dominant and the others exist under the surface. With
Schizophrenia, there could be independent personalities but
the person suffering from the disease believes that these
identities exist outside of him or herself.

Simple Carbs Versus Complex Carbs
Simple Carbs Versus Complex Carbs
We have all seen the ads for no carb and low-carb foods and
diets, but kids and adults need carbohydrates Most foods
contain carbohydrates, which the body breaks down into
simple sugars, which is the major source of energy for the
body. However not all carbohydrates are created equal,
there are 2 major types of carbs, simple and complex.
Simple carbs are the bad carbs and should be avoided.
Complex carbs are actually goo for you and your body needs
them.
Simple carbs are for the most part refined sugars with few
vitamins and nutrients. The body quickly converts this into
glucose which goes into the bloodstream causing an energy
rush. You also get an insulin spike to combat the sugar and
if you ingest too many simple carbs you most likely are on
your way to diabetes. Now not all simple carbs are bad,
there are fruits and vegetables that are okay since they
contain fiber, vitamins and nutrients. You should stay
away from refined processed foods, white bread and pasta,
sugary beverages and the like.
Complex carbs are complex sugars and are packed with
vitamins, nutrients and fibers, They take longer for the
body to digest and do not raise the blood sugar quickly.
They are used as fuel or stored as a useful energy source
in the body. These include vegetables, whole grains and
cereals.
Now you can eat bread and paste but you need to eat whole
wheat/whole grain bread and pasta. Whole grains are what
you want but the food industry is taking advantage and
putting that on labels but it is minimal in the food. It
may say whole grain and then when you read the label it has
enriched/bleached flour in it as a main ingredient,
followed by your grain. So what you are getting is mostly
simple carbs instead of the good complex carbs that you
think you are getting. Always check the label and look at
the main ingredients in cereals and bread. You will also
notice that whole grain is being added to childrens cereal
boxes, but they are full of sugar which is a simple carb.
The ads concerning carbohydrate diets should not be no carb
or low carb but more appropriately the right carbs. Not
all carbs are not bad and your body needs them for energy.
Most of your carbs should come from complex ones, while
the simple ones should come from the ones that your body
can use like orange juice. Your body can use the vitamin C
and if your buy the one with added calcium you get an added
benefit. Make sure you read the labels on items you are
buying to make sure the are whole grain/whole wheat. Stay
away from items that contain enriched and bleached flour.
Choosing the right carbs will put you on the way to a
healthy diet.

Best Weight Loss Is Gradual
Best Weight Loss Is Gradual
Most people who are overweight want to lose. The stigma of
being overweight is often enough of a motivator to want to
be slim. Add the health risks of being overweight to the
stigma of being overweight and you'll find very few heavy
people who are satisfied with their body type. While the
motivation to want to lose weight can be a positive, and in
fact is typically needed for weight loss to occur, being
overly consumed with weight loss can have quite detrimental
consequences.
Humans often look for ways to make tasks more efficient,
and faster. This sort of mindset has been around since
forever, and it applies to weight loss as much as anything
else. People who are overweight usually don't want to be,
and they often want to stop being overweight right now if
not sooner. This strong desire for change can lead to
trying to power through the weight loss process, or to a
willingness to try methods that claim to speed weight loss
up.
Fast weight loss can be seen when stepping on the scale,
but fast weight loss is almost always the result of water
loss. Water can be removed quickly from the body, which is
why dehydration can set in so rapidly without regular water
intake. Water is an absolute requirement for life, and a
regular supply of water is needed for the body to function
normally. Dropping weight in the form of water then is
inviting various forms of health problems, some of which
can be permanent and even fatal.
Losing weight in the form of fat is the ideal in weight
loss, but it's a process. Fat is essentially surplus, and
surplus takes time to build up. Surplus equally takes time
to remove. The fat stored in our bodies took time to make
in other words, and it's not going to go away overnight.
There have been and continue to be various treatments that
claim to speed up the fat elimination process. What these
treatments typically claim to do is affect metabolism, but
they often also affect the heart, usually speeding up its
beat rate. Using any treatment that causes the heart to
perform abnormally is a risky proposition, to say the least.
In the final analysis, the best strategy for weight loss
just may be patience along with a dose of commitment.
Accepting that weight loss is going to take time and effort
is a healthy and realistic perspective to have at the onset
of any weight loss regimen.

Train Heavy, Lose Fat (part 4)
Train Heavy, Lose Fat (part 4)
Ok, the time has come.....
It's time to get yourself a new programme that will change
the way you train forever.
You ready?
Good.
This is one programme for the entire body and can last
anywhere up to 6 weeks! Once you have the grasp of it, can
switch and change. Ideally, you should be doing this anyway
to keep the body confused rather than letting the body get
used to the movements.
Please make sure you have read Parts 1- 3 so you understand
why you are training this way.
If you understand, you are more likely to stick to the plan.
Always consult your physician before exercise. The author
is neither liable nor responsible for any harm or injury
resulting in the use of this programme.
Warm up: 2 minutes on cardio machine
A1 - Squat and press x 12 reps tempo 1010 (1 second
down, 1 second up with over head press) x 2 sets
A2 - Bent over Barbell Rows x 5 reps tempo 4020 (4
seconds to lower, 2 seconds to lift) x 2 sets
A1 and A2 are to be treated as supersets, meaning that you
perform A1 immediately followed by A2.
Each last rep should feel like you can't do anymore.
Rest for 90 seconds
B1 - Reverse lunges (chest to knee) x 12 reps tempo 2010
x 2 sets
B2 - Incline dumbbell press x 5 tempo 4020 x 2 sets
Rest for 90 seconds
C1 - Single arm dumbbell rows x 12 (on each arm) tempo
2020 x 2 sets
C2 - Barbell squats x 5 reps tempo 4020 x 2 sets
C3 - Crunches x 12 reps tempo 2021 (1 = Squeeze for 1
second at top of movement) x 2 sets
C4 - Romanian Deadlifts x 5 reps tempo 4020 x 2 sets
Rest for 120 seconds
D1 - Pick your favourite piece of cardio equipment and
perform the exercise as seen in part 1.
Repeat this exercise 8 times over.
The whole of this workout should take less than 30 minutes
if you keep to the tempos and rest periods.
Hopefully this should have you leaving the gym like you're
really worked and just think, 36 hours from then you'll
still be burning bodyfat!!!
If you continue to train like this for at least 2 times a
week (3 times a week preferred) for the next 6 weeks you
will see see some great results.
However, this is not a magic workout, to get maximum
results you will need to apply a good nutrition plan.

How To Become A Master of the Universe and Have POWER Over the Course of Your Life
How To Become A Master of the Universe and Have POWER Over the Course of Your Life
Can you taste the success that you want in your life? If
not, why not? When you want to attract success in your
life, you need to make sure that you can clearly see it in
your mind whenever you think about it.
Think about it this way. When the universe and the energy
in the world are focused, it can do wonderful things '
create powerful storms or a peaceful calm. In your mind,
when you're not being clear about what you want, how can
you expect the world to provide what you want?
1) The laws that you don't want to break
There is a set of universal laws that govern the energy in
the world ' called the laws of attraction.
These laws state that like attracts like. So, in that
reasoning, when you think about the things that you want
and the dreams you want to achieve, you will start to
attract those things into your life ' seems simple, right?
But it's a little more complicated than that.
Many of us have dreams that we want to see come true. It
might be physical objects or a new job. Maybe we want to
have a certain person in our life, etc.
However, while we have these dreams, they are often only
fleeting thoughts in our mind, able to be accessed only
when we give them a second or two of our lives.
In short, we're not giving them the focus they need in
order for the universe to respond. To create that
necessary focus, you need to learn about visualization.
2) What is visualization?
Seeing is believing; we sometimes say. What you need to do
is start to visualize in minute detail what you want from
your life.
Right now, sit down and write down all of the things that
you see in your mind when you think of abundance and wealth.
But think about what YOU associate with these words. This
isn't about thinking about the things that everyone else
wants; what do you want?
Here are some questions to get you started:
a) What does your dream look like?
b) Where are you living your dream?
c) How much money do you have?
d) What kinds of things do you have?
e) Who are you with?
f) What job do you have?
g) What are you wearing?
And this list could go on. But what you need to do is be as
specific as possible about what abundance looks like to you.
Try to come up with the exact numbers, details, sights,
smells, textures, etc.
What you're doing is imprinting your idea of abundance into
your mind so that the laws of attraction aren't confused
about what to provide for you.
3) But you have to practice seeing
Each morning or night, whichever works better, try to
visualize your dream in this exact detail.
This will continuously remind your mind of what you want
and will start to create subtle shifts in your
consciousness that will allow you to make the decisions
that will advance you to that goal more quickly.
You can also take the time to tape record or digitally
record yourself talking about your dreams and then listen
to it again and again.
4) What your brain is doing
When you visualize something in your mind, you can
experience it; however, your body doesn't know that this
visualization isn't real.
Think about it: when you close your eyes and imagine that
you're on a beach, how does your body know that it's not
there?
Scientific studies have shown that the same nerves and
electrical currents will race through your mind whether you
are at the beach or just imagining it in your mind.
This creates the question that if we were to imagine things
more often, would we begin to create them in our
environment?
Your brain actually reconfigures when you focus on a
certain object over and over again.
It creates neural pathways that will make it easier for
your brain to get back to that idea.
By visualizing your dream again and again, you will create
more focus on that dream, more focus that will happen
instantaneously and outside of the time you spend
visualizing.
Of course, this isn't to say that if you think really hard
about dating a supermodel that it will happen ' you need to
do some work too.
But the idea that you are changing your mind and the way it
works shows that you do have power over the course of your
life and the dreams that come true.

Housebreak Your Puppy While Keeping a Day Job
Housebreak Your Puppy While Keeping a Day Job
Working 8 hours a day and housebreaking a puppy is not as
hard as you may think. In this article we will discuss
things you can do to help you with housebreaking your puppy
and working a full time job.
Crate Training
This is, without a doubt, one of the first essential steps
in training your puppy and an exercise our puppy needs to
master in their early days. It can be an effective means of
housebreaking your puppy. However, many people
misunderstand the proper methods of crate training and the
benefits it will bring. Your dog will see their crate as
their space, their sanctuary, and their escape from the
very odd human world.
Crate Size
Before you start on this training exercise it is important
to consider what size of crate to buy. The crate needs to
be big enough to see your puppy through from their early
days to their full size. Bear in mind though that if it's
too large, your pet may end up using one end as their
'Business' area. Some crates offer divider panels to expand
the size as they grows. Choose one large enough to stand,
comfortably turn, and sprawl.
Evening
Crate Training through the night can be a difficult task,
don't worry. When housebreaking a puppy be mindful that
they will need to "go" as soon as they see you in the
morning. It is very difficult for a puppy to hold his
bladder until they are around 9 months of age.
Make Arrangements
While crate training is excellent for housebreaking
puppies, do not leave your dog confined in a small area for
too long. If your work allows, try to make arrangements to
come home during your lunch hour to allow your it to
relieve himself. Also there are even services you can hire
to provide this. A pet 'holding it' all day can cause
bladder and kidney problems.
When Supervised
While crate training your dog, it's a good idea to leave
the door open so your pet will not be confined to a closed
area. Generally, in addition to housebreaking puppies, you
are creating a safe place where your pet will feel
comfortable sleeping.
Accidents
Don't make crate training a punishment. If your dog does
their 'business' in the house, make a loud, surprised sound
take them outside. Avoid shouting "NO!" for this routine as
they might associate it as something bad. Be sure to give
exaggerated praise when your pet 'goes' outside in the
regular chosen area, so they will learn that there is a
good thing.
Cleanliness
Their crate is their space, but there will be some jobs
you'll need to do on their behalf. Regular cleaning and
disinfecting will protect your dog from illness and you
home from unwanted smells.
Hopefully this has given you some ideas on how to
housebreak your puppy and still keep your day job.

Quick Weight Loss - The Wrong Focus If You Want To Lose Weight
Quick Weight Loss - The Wrong Focus If You Want To Lose Weight
Human beings are amazing creatures. We can have the
blueprint to success given to us, and because we don't
trust ourselves will go looking for something better - even
if it doesn't exist. This is especially true of people
trying to lose weight. This is readily evident when ask
someone who is overweight, "how long did it take you to put
on that weight?" Usually they'll just look at you funnily,
wondering what you're trying to get at. If you are looking
to lose weight, think about this question. What's the
answer for you? It's probably a number of years - isn't it?
So, think about this, if it takes a number of years to put
on that weight, then why should you expect to lose it all
in a few days?
The reason I say that is because if you have a look at what
is selling most in the weight loss industry, and the
products that are sold, a lot of them try and sell you
based on promises of very quick weight loss. The only
reason the clever companies are playing this angle is
because it is what people demand.
Unfortunately it's the desire for quick weight loss that is
often at the heart of the 'yo-yo' dieter syndrome, where
you don't end up losing any weight at all.
Let's say you find a crash diet that is all the rage.
Everyone on it seems to be losing weight. So you think, 'I
should give this a go, it'll work for me too.' So off you
go, changing your eating habits completely. All you have is
food from a very small strict range. The worst thing is,
because you've made such a drastic change from your long
term habits, it gets harder to keep up, the longer you try
to stick to the diet. You start to fight with yourself
internally. Soon enough its not just about the food. You
start to feel that your freedom is being taken away from
you by this diet, and you have massive urges and cravings
to break free.
You and I both know what happens next, you eventually get
to the point where you say, 'A small slice of pizza is not
going to hurt, I've been very good, and I'll be back on
this diet immediately after.' So you go and have that
slice of pizza.
But it doesn't stop there does it.
After you have one piece of that pizza, you think, 'Awwww,
another piece isn't going to hurt anyone.' Then the flood
gates open.
You have released your cravings and then you scour the
house for every piece of junk food you've been keeping from
yourself. Its all going down. And before you know it,
you're back to square one.
What was the problem then? The problem was when we decided
to go on the diet, it was a temporary adjustment, it was
never made with an intention of making this a habit.
Seriously, would any of the diets that are on the market
even exist if people thought about this before they decided
to start that diet? The facts are that it took long term
habits to put that weight on your body. Right there, your
own body has given you the exact blueprint of how to lose
it.
You have to form new habits, but this time, these habits
have to allow you to reach and maintain your ideal weight.
Its not rocket science, no matter what the latest gadget or
miracle cure is promising. It comes down to you. If you
want to use one of the latest products in the market, fine,
use it. Just don't fall for the idea that you're going to
lose weight on a permanent basis because of the gadget. Use
the gadget to form lifestyle habits that not only help you
to lose weight, but keep the weight off. That way you boost
your self esteem while you lose the weight, cause you did
it, not some product or service. That's the secret to long
lasting weight loss.
----------------------------------------------------
We recommend taking control of your eating with the help of
Hoodia:
http://www.idealweightresearch.com/hoodia/index.html . Make
sure the hoodia you buy is real authentic hoodia:
http://www.idealweightresearch.com/hoodia/real-hoodia.html
. Use it to control your urges and make your diet more
nutritious before you ween off it.

Leadership Presence
Leadership Presence
So, you want to get ahead, really make it beyond where you
are professionally and perhaps even personally today? I am
often asked to define the true keys to success by my
executive leadership clientele.
Quite simply, the key to your success is you! It really
doesn't matter with whom you are communicating, your board
president or your spouse. What does matter is that the
presence you project will directly affect the level of
success that you are able to attain.
Irrespective of how well-versed or well-prepared you are,
your nonverbal demeanor will always take precedent. This
nonverbal demeanor arises from your sense of your self -
the concepts you hold true about you. And, if you are
selling anything from a brand new concept to an innovative
product, it behooves you to increase your awareness of your
own, unique presence because it alone will affect your
success.
According to the top recruiters, leadership presence is
probably the single most important factor in your ability
to become a top executive. While an individual's grooming
and dress shape how he or she is perceived, presence
involves more than just the physical.
Confidence, energy level and communication skills are
essential. Executives with presence assert themselves,
offer a hand first, ask questions and appear interested.
They are self-confident and gracious and can conduct a
conversation with people at a variety of levels.
According to 160 top executive recruiters, presence is a
package of eight key factors:
o Focus (commitment to the long term and big picture) 93.4%*
o Intellect (ability to view an issue from many different
perspectives) 89.5%
o Charisma (ability to demonstrate intensity and remain
caring) 86.9%
o Communication Skills (how they communicate, not merely
what they communicate) 82.9%
o Passion (there are no reluctant leaders) 81.7%
o Culture Fit (demonstrate keen sense of organization's
values) 76.8 %
o Poise (relaxed composure in all business situations) 74.5%
o Appearance (act the part in attire and grooming) 68.1%
* This number indicates the percentage of recruiters who
indicated that this factor was very important in
determining a candidate's "Executive Presence," From The
Road to CEO, by Sharon Voros.
Why not take this one week out to pay attention to the role
that your sense about your Self is currently play in
attaining your own success? What level of leadership
presence do you currently project? Where is there room for
growth and improvement? How honest can you be to make the
changes necessary to improve.

14 J. Paul Getty Quotes to Celebrate The Birth of an American Success Story
14 J. Paul Getty Quotes to Celebrate The Birth of an American Success Story
December 15th is right around the corner and what better
way to celebrate the birth of an American success story
than with some inspiring J. Paul Getty quotes? He was the
ultimate rebel -- practically disinherited for doing things
his father didn't like, yet amassing a fortune of billions
on his own. How does someone with such a drive for success
think? What makes them who they are? Maybe these 14 J. Paul
Getty quotes can give us some insight.
1. "Going to work for a large company is like getting on a
train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train
going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?"
2. "If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you
owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem."
3. "To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual
must know all it is possible to know about that business."
4. "The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral
rights."
5. "A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until
he begins to blame somebody else."
6. "Money isn't everything but it sure keeps you in touch
with your children."
7. "Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or
it smells."
8. "In times of rapid change, experience could be your
worst enemy."
9. "The employer generally gets the employees he deserves."
10. "Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off
of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull,
routine, and eminently unsatisfying."
11. "The #1 guideline to success is you must be in business
for yourself. When you work for someone else, you sell your
time at wholesale to your employer, who then re-sells it at
retail to the customer."
12. "I'd rather have 1% of the effort of 100 men than 100%
of my own effort."
13. "The individual who wants to reach the top in business
must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must
understand that practices are what create habits. He must
be quick to break those habits that can break him and
hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits
that help him achieve the success he desires."
14. "The man who comes up with a means for doing or
producing almost anything better, faster or more
economically has his future and his fortune at his
fingertips."
It's not often that one gets to glimpse inside the mind of
a great man. Through their words and thoughts, people's
quotes allow us to do just that. As we celebrate the
greatness of who J. Paul Getty was, let us remember not
just what he did, but who he was through these inspiring J.
Paul Getty quotes.

What is Gerd?
What is Gerd?
Gerd or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease affects millions of
people each year. This catch-all term encompasses a wide
array of complaints ranging from "acid stomach", belching,
nausea, bloating, distention, heartburn, hoarseness,
esophagitis, gastritis, acid reflux, and asthma-like
symptoms.
If you look in a medical encyclopedia that is only a few
years old you will not find the word GERD or the term
"Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease". However you can break
the phrase up into separate words and find the definition
for each.
GASTROESOPHAGEAL - Pertaining to the stomach or the
esophagus.
REFLUX - A backward flow; regurgitation.
DISEASE - Any interruption of the normal function of any
body organ, part, or system that presents an abnormal state.
In other words you have an abnormal function of the stomach
or esophagus that is causing reflux.
Indigestion and belching would be considered an abnormal
function of the stomach and can make a person feel
out-of-sorts or not feeling so well for a short time. If a
condition is only temporary how can the medical community
label it as a disease? The truth of the matter is, it is
not a disease. It is a condition that can be corrected once
you find the root cause.
Belching is a natural function of the human body and it
happens to every person on the planet without exception.
This is also know as reflux!
The stomach is approximately 10 to 12 inches long and
approximately 5 inches wide. It holds between 2 and 3 pints
of liquid and when food or drink enter our stomach it
displaces the liquid contents and the level of liquid
rises which increases stomach pressure.
The increased stomach pressure is now exerting more
pressure on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter valve. This
increase in pressure will force the Lower Esophageal
Sphincter valve open and allow the reflux of acidic stomach
gases to enter the esophagus. If you feel pain or a burning
sensation in the chest cavity when these gases enter the
esophagus it is an indication that you have some esophageal
damage. This damage is usually in the form of tiny cuts or
lesions to the delicate cells of the esophagus, however it
can be corrected within 3 or 4 days by eliminating some
foods that are causing the problem.
The esophagus or feeding tube is approximately 10 inches
long and about 1inch wide and tends to expand when these
stomach gases reflux into it. This will cause chest
pressure and can even radiate to your left arm or your
back. When the acidic stomach gases are present in your
esophagus you might also experience a feeling of a lump in
your throat near the Adam's apple. This is referred to as
Globus Sensation and is quickly relieved once the gases
overcome the Upper Esophageal Sphincter and you belch.
To find the root cause of these problems you need to know
why your stomach has increased pressure that is causing the
reflux. Although there are many things that can cause an
increase in stomach pressure the most common one is a
person's pH balance is too acidic. The symptoms of being
too acidic are belching, bloating and flatulence more than
normal. Copyright 2006-2007
----------------------------------------------------
Medical researcher William Lagadyn first unravelled the
mysteries of heartburn and acid reflux problems over 20
years ago, and since that time he has helped 1000's of
people completely solve their digestive problems. For more
information on how to solve your digestive problems such as
heartburn, acid reflux or GERD without the use of
potentially dangerous drugs forever, please visit his

Small Business Opportunity - Painting Stars on Ceilings
Small Business Opportunity - Painting Stars on Ceilings
Painting stars on ceilings is the world's easiest and most
profitable painting businesses to start. if you are looking
for a small business opportunity that offers instant income
whenever you need it, this is it.
It is called star mural painting and it is all about
turning people's bedroom ceilings into a night time
planetarium of stars. It is possible to make hundreds of
dollars per ceiling for just a couple of hours of pleasant
work. This makes it the world's easiest painting business.
As a matter of fact it is so easy a young teenager all the
way up to a 70-year old man can run their own star mural
painting business. The average star mural takes less than
an hour or two to complete and goes for around $250.
Just think if you did two star murals per day for a whole
week? You could earn $2,500 - $3,000 in just one week! This
is serious income and the market is endless as well.
More advanced star scenes that can increase your profits
per job include shooting stars, small galaxies, UFOs, space
battles, the Milky Way, etc.
The market is wide because of the fact that everyone loves
the idea of sleeping under the stars at night and almost
everyone has several bedroom ceilings in their home. Many
homes now have game rooms or home theater rooms also.
A star mural ceiling is invisible during the daytime but at
night the stars magically come to life when the lights go
out. This gives the illusion of actually sleeping under the
stars outdoors.
My wife loves our bedroom ceiling. It has the Milky Way
stretching forth across the night sky plus several of our
favorite constellations that are seen all night long.
Can you imagine what kids would think if they saw a ceiling
like this? Do you think they would want one just like it?
How about mom and dad? Many people like stars on their
bedroom ceiling because it sets a romantic tone.
Again, the average star mural goes for about $250 and takes
only an hour or two to create. An advanced star scene can
go for as much as a thousand dollars or more.
The best way to get good at creating stars on ceilings is
to get good at making your own demo posters to show to
interested people. Seeing is believing and once they see
one of your posters they will eagerly write you a check
then and there on the spot.
You can easily start with kids rooms. As you get better at
making these amazing star murals you can do more advanced
star scenes for teens and adults and charge premium prices.
Also, star murals can be created during the daytime and
offers you a chance to make as much as $2,500 - $3,000 per
week and MORE working just part-time hours. Again, this is
one of the easiest and most profitable small business
opportunities to start.

painting business for over 16 years. He has also helped
many others to start their own painting businesses as well.

French Property Market Performance in 2007
French Property Market Performance in 2007
Make no mistake, France as a whole has seen the growth in
its housing market slow since 2004 when it saw an
impressive 15.4% growth in prices compared to just 4.7% in
2007 (source FNAIM). However like most property markets it
is all about the location and micro-location so that even
in slower times you can make sure that your property
continues to increase in price. Take old favourites such as
Cannes and Nice which each saw property price increases of
8.2% and 9.1% respectively this year which are healthy
indeed and the South East as a whole grew by 6.5%. North
and East of France also did well with property price growth
averaging 6.4% this year. On the other hand the South West
which had been doing well up until now and was seen as more
"up and coming" rather than established has dropped quite
dramatically to just 0.2% this year. One of the best
performers so far though this year has been Limoges in
Limousin achieving 11.3%.
If you invested in France just recently and expected to
make a quick buck overnight and get out then depending on
where you invested this news won't exactly be music to your
ears. If however you were advised (as you should have been)
to view it as at least a 5-10 year investment then you
won't go far wrong. What we are seeing in a number of areas
with slow house price growth is in fact healthy growth in
the rental market instead. Paris for instance which
experienced house price growth of 4.7% actually saw rental
income increase by 4.6% bringing average yields across the
city to 4.5%. This often happens in a slow property market
as demand for rental property increases and gives a chance
for rentals to catch up with house price growth. Therefore
if you are a landlord who bought diligently you will
actually be reaping the rewards now of steadily increasing
yields and a property in high rental demand.
For those looking to invest now it is an excellent time to
buy as it is such a good buyer's market. Euro interest
rates although the highest they have been since 2004 at 4%
are widely expected to decrease in the near future and are
still not so high as to make mortgage payments difficult.
Mortgage products are also becoming increasingly flexible
and competitive and many banks are in fact now offering 30
year mortgages and up to 100% finance which should help
investors. We are also witnessing offers of 10 to 15% below
asking price being accepted which historically is virtually
unheard of in France. If you couple this with the agency
margins being squeezed the result is some rather juicy
deals out there waiting for the savvy investor.

The Day Care Dilemma: How Do I Choose?
The Day Care Dilemma: How Do I Choose?
Years ago, simply asking a friend or neighborhood teen to
babysit for you was as easy as picking up the phone. Or you
might have found an advertisement in the local newspaper.
But with day care centers and providers springing up like
daisies, the choices today are far and wide.
Don't worry! Finding the right day care provider need not
be an insurmountable task. References from friends are
still a great way to locate a reputable center. Local
newspaper classifieds will have ads run by small
family-type childcare providers. The internet provides
access to informative websites posted by larger
entrepreneurial day care providers which will have
information on their qualifications, licensing, pricing,
etc. Your local chapter of CCR&R (Child Care Resource and
Referral) is a free service that provides guidance by
phone, in person and on the internet to assist you in
locating a childcare provider, based on your zip code.
Once you determine what type of day care you need -
in-home, drop-in, part time or full time - there are
several guidelines to follow. We all know that a picture is
worth a thousand words, and in this case, a visit to the
prospective center is highly recommended. If possible, make
it a surprise visit. You'll see how they treat the
children, how discipline and cleanliness issues are handled
and how crowded the various areas are. Even a short visit
will give you a sense of how the center is run.
In addition to visiting the facility (or while you're
there), obtain references and find the answer to as many of
these questions as possible.
Qualifications:
Is the facility licensed? Is it up to date? Are the
Director and teachers qualified to run a day care facility?
Do they have bachelor's degrees in a child related field?
Have the teachers worked in child care for at least one
year? Has the Director worked in child care for at least
two years? What level of training or experience do the
aides have? Does the staff show a genuine love for children
or is this just a job?
Supervision:
Does the provider or center have enough supervision? Are
the children supervised even when they are sleeping? How
many caregivers are there at all times? Have the caregivers
had background checks? Is there a high turnover of teachers
and/or aides? What is your standard method of discipline?
What do you do if the discipline doesn't get the desired
result?
Schedules:
Is there a daily schedule of activities? Are there
structured activities as well as play time? Is there
scheduled nap time or quiet time for those who don't sleep?
How often are children taken to the bathroom? What kind of
foods and snacks are offered?
Inside Facilities:
Are the tables and chairs generally clean and not sticky?
Is there a bathroom available for older children to use to
wash their hands after toileting and before meals? Are the
diapering areas clean and the diapers disposed of in a
proper manner? Are the children up to date on their
immunizations and are these records available? Are toxic
materials locked away and poison information posted? Are
medications kept safely out of reach of the children?
Outside Facilities:
Are the playgrounds and play areas kept clean and in good
repair? Is the sandbox clean? Is the playground surrounded
by a fence? Are the toys age-appropriate?
Emergencies:
Is there an emergency plan in place if a child gets hurt or
lost? Is there a first aid kit on the premises? Does the
staff know CPR and first aid? Do they practice fire drills?
Is there a program in place for disasters such as
earthquake and/or tornado?
This list may seem excessive at first, but a visit to the
day care center or family home will tell you a lot about
the surroundings, and the answers you get to your questions
will tell you whether this is the place for your child.
Follow your instincts! A concerned parent must take care to
ensure the safety and well being of her child, even if it
means asking some uncomfortable questions of the day care
provider.

Bulgarian Real Estate Who Is Buying Up All The Property
Bulgarian Real Estate Who Is Buying Up All The Property
The year 2006 saw unprecedented investment in Bulgarian
real estate. Almost a third of properties in Bulgaria are
being bought by foreign nationals with 20 to 35 year-old
Britons now a big proportion of Bulgarian real estate
buyers. According to reports Bulgaria has seen a
significant increase in the numbers of 20 to 35 year-old
Brits buying Bulgarian property. They now account for a
fifth (20%) of all UK buyers and are prepared to pay more
for their property.
The figures were revealed by Quest Bulgaria an English
language monthly magazine for people living or buying
property in Bulgaria. Quest Bulgaria Managing Director
Chris Goodall: "High UK house prices are making it
difficult for first time buyers, usually the younger age
groups, to get on the first rung of the housing ladder.
There is evidence international property clients are
significant players in the market with 29% of all home
transactions last year made by foreigners."
The magazine also reports that the country is third most
popular with UK property buyers with Spain top, France
second then Bulgaria. Real Estate agent Martin Hunt of
Living Bulgaria - said: "These young buyers have more money
and are looking for better quality homes." Concept
Bulgaria says a staggering 95% of their customers are under
50.
The ultra-cheap Bulgaria that once attracted high risk
investors or retiree holiday home owners is changing. The
key is buyers can get a good quality, three-bedroom home in
Bulgaria for £65,000 while the average house price in
the UK is £215,000.
Real Estate agents confirms the rapid emergence of younger
buyers while reporting a downturn of 15% among the over
50's. It says younger end buyers with families are going to
Bulgaria to live there permanently and establish their own
businesses. Easier availability of mortgages and finance
is helping too. One agent said "The situation is now much
easier with the average length of time from application to
sale down from nearly eight months last year to around just
eight weeks."
Bulgaria offers low priced Ski property and stands to be
one of the most popular Ski areas in Europe.The boom is
having a knock-on effect on the buy-to-let market. A three
bed-roomed coastal villa now enjoys an average rental price
of £550 per week giving a gross income of
£5,500 a year if it is rented out for a ten-week
period. A rural three-bed-room villa fetches an average
£350 a week; a city or coastal apartment £250.

The Power A Woman Has Over You.
The Power A Woman Has Over You.
Guys you know exactly what I am talking about when that
woman knows how to talk to you or when she knows how to
dress or move her body to make those sensations in your
body explode. Women have the power of sex over a guy
because more guys just want to get into a woman's pants due
to us being goal orientated but the game is not that easy
guys, it takes time but not as much time as you think, let
me explain.
What you didn't probably realize and forgot is that women
want sex just as badly as you do sometimes even more but
yet you don't see us men using the power of sex against
them and why not? Let me ask you a question, if a woman did
not have the power of sex over you then how much more laid
back would you be? How much more comfortable would you be?
How much more attention would you pay? How much power would
you have? How much more desirable would you become?
The sex will come after you have attracted the woman but
from this day forth don't let the woman use sex against
you. Use their game against them and don't let sex put you
off balance. The biggest realization I have made with women
is that they know if you are interested in them or if you
are interested in sex and they are far more in tune than us
men. They can pick up signals a lot better than we can but
luckily for us we can learn.
When women discover that they can use the power of sex over
men they can do anything. I know women that have men
picking them up taking them to work, buying them dinner,
buying them gifts, being able to call one of these guys and
they will drop everything and they are there all because
the woman is "hot". Heck if you could do this with women
why wouldn't you?
The women are not doing anything wrong by these men because
they know that they have told these guys that they are
"just friends" but the guys are too busy worrying about how
to get into the woman's pants to care.
How often do you see attractive women? I would say I see at
least about 100 per week more if you include everyday
living and then going out on the weekends the week days.
Now that was 100 women and those guys are too busy
following around 1 of those women chasing them and all this
one woman has to do is look good.
Don't let a woman use sex against you my friend because if
they know you are only interested in their looks and not
the inside of them you will always remain a friend to them.
How about you start using their own game against them, tell
a woman if you go on a first date or you go hang out that I
am not going to have sex with you so don't try anything.
This woman will want to have sex with you by the end of the
night. Or if you say I don't kiss on the first date, I just
thought I would let you know. You are stealing the woman's
cards from her and she can't use those on you.
Finally I want to say that men don't believe that they have
to do anything to attract women then you could not be more
wrong in your entire life. An attractive woman is not just
going to come to you and then you are going to live this
fantasy world where everything is perfect. You win in the
game of life if you can enjoy the storms or life as well as
the good times. So master this area of your life and then
you will have an abundance of women in your life, you will
be able to decide when you want a girlfriend, wife or to be
single.

The 7 Biggest Opportunities for the Virtual Assistant as an Author's Assistant
The 7 Biggest Opportunities for the Virtual Assistant as an Author's Assistant
The occupation of the author's assistant has been around
for at least two hundred years, but it has taken on new
meaning and relevance over the past few years with the
increasing number of authors who are self publishing as a
virtual process.
Virtual assistants already have many of the skill sets that
are most often needed in working with authors: word
processing skills, using spreadsheets on Excel to track the
process, doing Internet research, making phone calls,
answering questions and many more. Virtual assistants are
also getting special training to be ready to tackle the
needs of the expected thousands of writers, speakers and
subject matter experts who have decided to become authors,
and can, thanks to Amazon.com, desk-top publishing and
on-demand printing.
Virtual assistants already have other skill sets that they
are appreciated for that are equally critical for authors
as others, such as maintaining and optimizing web sites,
creating media kits, handling newsletters, managing mailing
lists, making travel arrangements, handling schedules and
many more.
With some specialized training, a virtual assistant can
boost her expertise (and her income) by taking on tasks
that have been traditionally handled by in-office staff,
publishing companies and publicists. Of all the possible
tasks, there are seven that stand out in terms of the
biggest opportunities and biggest needs for authors:
1. Coordinating the Self Publishing Process. Between
getting the ISBN and LCCN - the unique numbers needed for
books, and all the coordination between the book cover
designer interior designer, editor, indexer and
proofreader, an author has his or her hands full. A
trained author's assistant can leave the author free to do
what he or she alone must do - write the book and
effectively market it.
2. Managing a Virtual Book Tour. A virtual book tour takes
the author around the world speaking and interacting with
readers, without leaving the comfort of his or her office,
computer and telephone. Major publishers recommend that
authors take virtual book tours to boost sales and a
trained virtual assistant can set it up, manage it and help
maximize results.
3. Managing an Amazon Bestseller Campaign. Want to become
not only an author but a best selling author? That dream
is not so far as you might think with an Amazon.com
bestseller campaign. A trained author's assistant can
handle the coordination of the listing on Amazon.com, the
bonus gifts which are required to make it successful and
tracking your Amazon rank all the way to #1.
4. Obtaining Permissions. A little understood part of the
publishing process is that an author's contract requires
that he or she is providing the publisher with all brand
new material, unless the author gets specific permission to
use quotes, interviews, lyrics, photographs that aren't his
or her original work. A trained author's assistant knows
how to track down the original owner and get the specific
type of written permission required.
5. Helping the author get great reviews. The fastest way
to book sales success and international acclaim is to get
great book reviews in top newspapers, industry trade
journals and on Amazon.com. A trained author's assistant
knows when to send the manuscript, how to do it and when to
follow up to maximize the author's chance for reviews that
can be used for the life of the book.
6. Doing the competitive analysis for the book proposal.
If an author wants a traditional publisher, one of the
first hoops to jump through will be to create a world-class
book proposal. Minimize the time it will take the author by
having a trained author's assistant who knows just what is
required in the competitive assessment or other important
pieces of the puzzle.
7. Preparing the manuscript to send to the book designer
(or printer or publisher). Probably the first job of the
first author's assistant many decades ago was to prepare
the manuscript to get ready to be typeset. This task has
changed in format but hasn't diminished in importance.
Delivering a manuscript in the right type font with the
right margins and with the pieces in the right order is an
essential skill of the trained author's assistant.
Author's assistants also have the added bonus of knowing
that they were integral to the important, creative and
artistic work of the literary world. There is nothing more
fun than seeing a book on a bookstore shelf and knowing
that you were a big part of getting it there.

Equipment Dealers - You're still not quoting a monthly payment?
Equipment Dealers - You're still not quoting a monthly payment?
Your competitors are offering quotes to customers who could
be buying from you. Don't lose these sales! Statistics
prove that 80% of prospects who plan to finance equipment
will accept your monthly payment option.
Do most of your customers pay cash? Consider those who
don't, or those who can't. Presenting them with choices
could open doors for them and increase sales for you. For
example, maybe they need additional equipment, but can't
spend the cash up front. When you offer financing options,
your client's purchasing power is increased and his money
works harder and smarter.
Waiting for the customer to ask about payment options?
Don't. Initiate the financial discussion so they don't have
to. Customers don't want to be perceived as unable to
afford your equipment. You don't want to be perceived as
being inexperienced, or worse, unconcerned about their
business. Get payment options on the table up front and
they will become more comfortable and more focused on your
presentation.
Are you bringing up payment options only when you think the
prospects can't pay cash? Making that determination could
be costing you money. Offering options to every prospect
will make money for you. Differentiate yourself from the
majority of your competitors. Many equipment sellers still
fail to present financing proposals to their clients. Use
the financing option as a simple but effective close: Will
you pay cash or may we arrange financing for you?
Do your customers have their own sources for financing?
Offer them an option and give them the opportunity to make
a change. Customers are looking for a total business
solution and part of what you sell is customer service.
Payment options should be included in that service. Your
customers will appreciate the one-stop shopping aspect of
doing business with you.
Don't lose another buyer to sticker shock. Follow the
proven success model of the automobile dealership. Much of
their success results from the financing options they
advertise and offer to the buyer. How many cars would they
sell if they didn't? In effect, they are selling monthly
payments, often easier than asking for the entire price at
once. Follow their example and acquire that 80% of the
market who will accept your financing proposal.
Reluctant to get involved in the financial aspect of sales?
Don't be. Instead, take control. Build a relationship with
a lender who offers simplicity in the application process
and promptness in the approval process. You'll avoid the
pitfall of giving the client a list of lenders to contact
on his own, where he risks being turned down. The end
result could be your loss of the sale. When you secure the
financing, you maintain control of the sale.

Power Washing How To's
Power Washing How To's
Power washing wood, aluminum or vinyl siding may seem like
a safe, easy project but without the right knowledge and
equipment you can hurt yourself, your home or your
property. Following is a list of some of the most common
mistakes made by homeowners that you should be aware of.
Using too much water pressure and spraying at too steep of
an upward angle can force water behind the siding where it
can cause mildew and water damage. Too much pressure
sprayed at vinyl siding at an upward angle forces water
under the lip of the siding and in through the weep holes
of the siding. The weep holes are designed to drain
moisture, not large amounts of water. Too much pressure can
also leave unsightly wand marks on the siding by removing
oxidation; too much water pressure can also crack the
siding, knock it loose, or completely blow it off the house.
Using hot water on vinyl siding is also a mistake. Hot
water can warp and distort vinyl siding causing it to
loosen or pop out of place. Hot water is also very hard on
plants and shrubbery and may even damage or kill them. The
only benefit to hot water is it can speed up the cleaning
process and cut down on the amount of cleaning solution
used but the risk isn't worth the reward. The same results
are achievable when using cold water and the right cleaners
but without the risk of damage to the siding or landscaping
that hot water can cause.
Letting the cleaners dry on the house or using the wrong
cleaners can cause streaks on the siding. Glass windows can
also be damaged or etched by allowing chemicals to dry on
them. Having a good knowledge of house washing cleaners is
highly recommended. Some cleaners can not only leave your
property damaged but can also cause severe injury to you or
others if handled improperly. Always wear the proper
protective gear like a respirator, gloves and safety
glasses.
Using a pressure washer from a ladder is very dangerous and
is not recommended. Serious injury or death can occur.
Without the proper equipment, some home owners are tempted
to get up on a ladder and attempt to pressure wash their
siding. Pulling the trigger on a pressure actuated pump
always causes the spray wand to kick and could easily knock
you off of a ladder or any elevated platform.
If you still plan on doing your own power washing project
then follow some of these simple tips.
Make sure the machine you're using puts out less than 1000
psi. Even most big box store bought machines will put out
2000-2500 psi which can easily damage vinyl siding, asphalt
shingles and even wood decks. To achieve a lower pressure
the tip or nozzle must be changed at the end of the gun to
one with a larger orifice. The correct nozzle will still
allow the maximum amount of water flow or gallons per
minute, which is where your cleaning speed comes from, but
will cut back the pressure as to not cause damage to the
surface.
Be careful if you're making your own house washing
chemicals. For example, mixing bleach and ammonia can
create a poisonous gas. We suggest that home owners buy a
siding wash that's available in most hardware stores and
follow the manufactures guidelines for the product. Leave
the stronger agents to the professionals or you may end up
doing more damage than good.
Allow the cleaning solution to dwell on the siding for
several minutes, then using low pressure, rinse the product
from the siding. Make sure when you rinse that you start at
the top and work your way down. Also start at one end and
work your way across to the other end. Rinse in the
direction opposite of the vinyl laps so you don't force
water behind the siding. Do not stop or vary your distance
from the siding, or it will cause the surface to be cleaned
unevenly. Be sure to rinse the siding and windows
thoroughly and to rinse the landscaping before, during and
again after the cleaning process to assure no soap is
allowed to dry on them.
Following these guidelines and doing some more research can
help to eliminate the risk of damage or injury. If you are
still unsure of taking on your own pressure washing
project, you can call a professional exterior cleaning

No Money for your Internet Marketing Business Promotion? Use Free and Low-Cost Marketing Alternative
No Money for your Internet Marketing Business Promotion? Use Free and Low-Cost Marketing Alternative
Starting an Internet marketing business is probably the
best way of growing a residual income and at the same time
achieving financial freedom. It really sounds easy and fun,
yet there are several things that will cross your
mind—things that will probably stop you in starting your
own Internet marketing business.
Time and financial resources.
You need to accept the fact that in order to make money,
you must have sufficient time allotment and financial
resources. It is not advisable to start your online
business if you feel that you do not have that financial
capability of sustaining your own business in the long run.
Getting large web traffic to your online business site is
your main priority in starting your Internet marketing
business. You will be able to achieve it through
advertising your site. However, when you found out that the
cost is not within your reach, there is a slim chance that
you will achieve success in getting traffic and converting
them into long-term clients. Keep in mind that without a
strong clientele base, it will mark the end of your
Internet marketing career.
Is there any other way to escape expensive online business
advertising?
Keep in mind that the word "free" still exists.
In other words, there are still low-cost alternatives and
even free methods of advertising your Internet marketing
business. You must be confident that such free or low-cost
advertising alternatives will work, after all it is still a
type of promotion that will help you get the targeted
traffic that you need for your site. It does not
necessarily follows that free or cheap advertising will not
work effectively whereas expensive advertising mediums will
always work. Invest confidence and a "clever thinking" on
how you will be able to make it as effective as the
expensive advertisement packages on the Internet.
As previously mentioned, there are many ways of advertising
your online business without spending much of your fortune.
The best idea that you must consider is writing original
articles containing fresh and juicy information that will
help your website visitors know about your business and the
products and services that you are offering. Write your own
original articles and sign with free or low-cost article
distribution services that will distribute your articles to
publishers around the Internet. If you want a wider
distribution of your articles for increased awareness, you
may pay for a small fee. Once your articles are distributed
and published around the Internet with hyperlinks directing
to your site, you will have your first set of new web
visitors in no time. If you do not want to write the
articles by yourself, you can hire different article
writing services that will do the job in exchange of a
small fee. Article writing and distribution is one of the
best means of Internet marketing promotion.
Just like article writing, you may also use weblogs or
simply blogs for your Internet marketing business
promotion. This is completely free of charge and an ideal
way of getting quality content on your website as well as
getting repeated visitors who are interested in reading
what you want to say. You can write your views about your
business or include some photographs of the products you
are offering. Do not forget to include your site's link on
your blogs so that your readers can visit your site if they
want more information about what you have written on your
blogs.
Posting to online forums is another free yet effective way
of getting your hyperlinks noticed by majority of Internet
users. There are thousands of online discussion forums out
there that offers subjects related to the nature of your
online business. You may also help other individuals by
posting your comments or suggestions that you know with
regards to a certain issue. The more assistance that you
can offer, the more your name will stand out of the crowd
as the authority on the subject, and the more likely forum
readers will click on your website hyperlink to find out
more about you and what you are into. It is one of the best
ways of making sales without even selling actual products
or services.
Why spend a lot if there are free and low-cost advertising
alternatives for your Internet marketing promotion? With
some careful planning and little spending, you will be able
to earn a lot from your online business.

What Is Internet Marketing Really
What Is Internet Marketing Really
Internet marketing can be described as marketing activities
on the internet. These include lead generation, affiliate
marketing, email marketing, forum marketing, SEO, banner
ads, text ads, and more.
Internet marketing also includes market analyses,
benchmarking, performance measurement and customer
relationship management.
There has been a lot written about Internet marketing.
Often times, it's almost like dieting. What's new and
what's exciting may be what a person tries next. So have
you ever wondered why one person can be successful with
Internet marketing and another won't be.
Think about this, what if I was to give you a book on
putting written by Tiger Woods. If after you read that book
you think you'd be able to go out and be as good of a
putter as Tiger Woods is?
The answer is no way, and so it is with Internet marketing.
There is so many variables that go into the things we
mentioned to describe what Internet marketing is. This is
really what allows one person to be successful and another
to fail.
Internet marketing is all about skills and applying those
skills to create income on the Internet. When we talk about
search engine optimization were talking about a topic that
many people will never ever master. Yet that same person
may be able to become a huge success on the Internet and
email marketing.
This is what really gives hope to the average person.
Anyone can make money on the Internet doing Internet
marketing, if they just take the time to master a least one
of the skills that it takes to be successful online.
Doesn't matter what one? It really does not except that it
becomes one that you enjoy because you are going to do it
on a regular basis. Let's say you want to join an affiliate
marketing program become the top affiliate in that program.
What you have to do is become an expert in not only
affiliate marketing, but also on other things such as
advertising on the Internet, tracking your advertising, and
various other things that go with affiliate marketing.
There are people who do nothing other than promote an
Internet business using traffic exchanges. Yet those people
become very successful, because they became some of the top
Internet marketers using traffic exchanges. I would venture
to say that their success ties back to the fact that they
enjoy marketing online using traffic exchanges.
So to summarize this article, Internet marketing is going
to mean different things to different people. Your success
ultimately comes back to your ability to develop a skill
and then apply that over and over until you reach the
income level that you're trying to achieve.

Divorce Recovery & Resistance to Change - How to Sabotage Your Divorce Recovery without Even Trying
Divorce Recovery & Resistance to Change - How to Sabotage Your Divorce Recovery without Even Trying
Recovery from divorce requires us to make changes in our
lives. Lots of changes. No big surprise here. For example,
divorce almost always forces us to make changes in our
relationships, our finances, our living arrangements, our
health-related activities, our self-development, and our
recreational and social activities.
The logical prescription to speed our transition from being
unhappily married to happily unmarried is straightforward:
make the necessary changes ASAP! No problem. Why, then,
don't we do it? Why are we universally reluctant to do the
obvious and make the changes that would improve our life
after divorce?
The answer? RESISTANCE TO CHANGE! Resistance to change is
our reluctance to make a positive change because of
personal reasons.
1. A Personal Example
What I did when my first marriage ended is an example of
how resistance to change prevents us from making a swift
and smooth recovery from divorce. After eight years of
marriage, my wife and I agreed it was over. We had tried
several things to save it - couples counseling,
communication training weekends, couples retreats,
individual therapy. These efforts only served to reinforce
our belief that a divorce was the right thing to do. Even
though a judge had not signed any paper yet, the harsh
reality was the marriage was over.
2. Three Ways Resistance to Change Can Ruin Your Divorce
Recovery
Three things prevented me from moving on and making my
recovery from divorce.
(1) FEAR - I was afraid of an unknown future.
(2) LOSS - I did not want to lose my "perfect life fantasy"
of being married "til death do us part" with a loving wife
and living with two wonderful daughters.
(3) SKILLS - I did not believe I had the ability to live
successfully as a single man. These three things illustrate
the three causes of resistance to change, which had me
firmly in its grasp.
3. Cause #1 of Resistance to Change - Fear of an Unknown
Future
I could not guarantee my future would be happy. I could not
guarantee that I would meet someone new. My disaster
fantasy was that I would never find true love again and
would live alone and lonely the rest of my life. This fear
paralyzed me and prevented me from moving into the next
chapter of my life.
4. Cause #2 of Resistance to Change - Distress Over Loss
Moving on meant I would lose daily access to my two
daughters. It also meant I would lose the stability of a
daily living routine. But most importantly, it meant I
would lose the hopes, dreams, and assumptions about our
family I had been collecting ever since my wife and I met.
For example, I had hoped my family would last forever. I
had assumed I would be involved daily in my daughters'
lives. I had dreamed of growing old with my wife. My
parents were married 67 years, so why not me too? Taking
the active steps to recover would force me to admit that
these hopes, dreams, and assumptions were shattered. The
loss seemed more than I could handle. Hence, I put off
moving on and thereby delayed my recovery from divorce.
5. Cause #3 of Resistance to Change - Uncertainty over the
Operational Aspects
Logic-based resistance to change reflects our reluctance to
make a change because we do not understand or agree with
the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and/or How of the change.
My logic-based resistance was based partly in my
uncertainty about some How's and Who's of dating.
I had not dated for over nine years. I was convinced I
would not be able to date without thoroughly embarrassing
myself. I was stuck on such issues as ' "How do you date?"
"Who will I date?' "Where will I find people to date?" As
long as I pretended I did not have to take control of my
divorce recovery, I did not have to confront my ineptitude
with dating.
6. So How Can You Use This?
One fact exists, resistance to change happens to EVERYONE.
It will happen to you. Be aware of its causes and be alert
to your fears, your reactions to loss, and your confusion
over the operational nuts and bolts of making a recovery.
It's all about taking the next step. Making the next
change. You can be paralyzed by resistance to change as I
was, or you can confront the resistance and dissolve it,
thus enabling you to get on with the next chapter in your
life.
Some questions to ask yourself that will help guide you on
your recovery might include - What about the future do you
fear today? What about "how things used to be" are hard for
you to give up? Are you confident that you have the skills
and knowledge to make your recovery?

Waiting for God's appointed time
Waiting for God's appointed time
08 Dec 2007
'THE VISION IS...FOR AN APPOINTED TIME...THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME.' HABAKKUK 2:3
God is a God of order; everything He does is by appointment.
An appointment is simply a meeting or event that has already been set up.
God has a scheduled time for bringing to pass two things in your life: His promises and His purpose.
You can count on that!
Whatever you're going through today, there's peace in knowing that nothing the enemy does will pre-empt these two things.
The problem arises when we try to rush God's timing.
When the Lord gives you a promise it's like a seed; it needs time to take root and bear fruit.
Every mother knows the order; first the seed, then the pregnancy and development within the womb and finally the day of delivery.
What does she do during this time?
Prepare!
She gets ready for the joys and responsibilities of parenthood, for when her time arrives that little one announces, 'Ready or not, here I come!'
The Psalmist writes: 'Don't be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep travelling steadily along his pathway and in due season he will honour you with every blessing' (Psalm 37:34 TLB).
You must learn the difference between what you can do and what God can do.
Fools rush in.
If you don't want to risk delaying the fulfilment of God's plan for your life, learn to wait.
The prophet said, 'The vision is...for an appointed time...though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come.'
Each time you get anxious and impatient remind yourself, 'My life cannot end without certain things happening. God said it and He will bring it to pass!'

Corrosives to eat out the proud flesh
Corrosives to eat out the proud flesh
(Thomas Watson, "The Lord's Prayer")
"In this world you will have trouble." John 16:33
"Man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly
upward." Job 5:7
Troubles arise like sparks out of a furnace.
The present state of life is subject to afflictions.
Man comes into the world with a cry—and goes
out with a groan!
Afflictions are some of the thorns which the earth
brings forth. We may as well think to stop the sun
in its swift motion—as put a stop to troubles. The
consideration of a life exposed to troubles and
sufferings, should make us say with patience,
"May Your will be done."
It is vain to quarrel with instruments. Wicked men
are but a rod in God's hand! "O Assyria, the rod of
My anger." Isaiah 10:5. Whoever brings an affliction
—God sends it! The consideration of this should make
us say, "May Your will be done." What God does—He
sees a reason for. This believed, would rock the heart
quiet. Shall we mutiny at that which God does? We
may as well quarrel with God's works of creation—as
with God's works of providence.
Consider that there is a necessity for affliction.
"If need be, you are in heaviness." 1 Peter 1:6.
It is needful that some things are kept in brine.
Afflictions are needful to keep us humble. Often there
is no other way to have the heart low—but by being
brought low. When king Manasseh "was in affliction, he
humbled himself greatly." Corrections are corrosives
to eat out the proud flesh. "Remembering my misery,
the wormwood and the gall; my soul is humbled in me."
Lamentations 3:19, 20. Shall not we quietly submit, and
say, "Lord, I see there is a necessity for it. May Your will
be done!"
