Gambling Myths

Article Description:
====================

Few areas of human activity are so immersed in superstition and
myth as gambling. Many gamblers do believe in "good" and
"bad" luck, playing a part in their gambling success or failure
and often carry "good luck charms" or have rituals they perform
before going to play. Unless the belief in "luck" becomes
obsessive, it is usually harmless.

Gambling Myths
Copyright (c) 2009 Skyler Ace

Few areas of human activity are so immersed in superstition and
myth as gambling. Many gamblers do believe in "good" and
"bad" luck, playing a part in their gambling success or failure
and often carry "good luck charms" or have rituals they perform
before going to play. Unless the belief in "luck" becomes
obsessive, it is usually harmless.

Far more insidious are the myths, some based on superstition,
which surrounds gambling. The myths that even the most
intelligent and realistic gamblers are willing to accept is often
truly surprising.

The very fact that all gambling is a matter of luck and chance is
itself a myth. If that were so, over a period of time most
gamblers would break even. In that case where would the casinos,
either real or online, get their profits from? While luck and
chance do affect the outcome of each gamble, the odds are always
stacked in favor of the casino. Complex mathematical formulae and
probability calculations are used to set up the games so that the
house always has a fixed advantage over the player. This is not
cheating - it is business. Once these odds are established in
favor of the house, the rest is left to luck and chance. But it
is never a fifty - fifty chance. The house advantage is kept
small. If it were too big, players would be discouraged. But even
this small advantage totals up to huge sums because the volumes
are so large.

There are some games like blackjack and poker that have a lot of
myths about them. The biggest of them is the "betting system."
There's always a story going around of someone, somewhere who
has a fool proof betting system that guarantees success. Let us
accept the fact that this is, and always will be, bunkum. There
is no such thing as a foolproof gambling system. If there were,
it wouldn't be gambling. Gambling is a huge multi billion dollar
industry with high internal standards and self checks. If any
system that could beat the odds ever does appear, the first
people to spot it and counter it will be the casinos. And they
have all the resources needed to do it.

Card counting is a myth that has always hung around blackjack and
poker tables. There are some mathematical formulae that could
help to increase the chances of knowing the likelihood of the
next card to be dealt. But it has never been proven that this
offers any serious advantage to the gambler. Secondly, card
counting in a fast moving card game would require a mathematical
talent and mental computing genius that maybe one person in few
million may have.

Slot machines have one major myth that has always surrounded
them. And that is that the casinos are able to influence the
results. This is done not to cheat the players but to ensure that
too many big wins do not come too close together and, on the
other hand, that a long period does not go by without a win. This
is done to keep the players happy and encouraged. Beyond that,
the casinos do not care who wins or loses. This is not possible
with real slot machines or with online ones since, firstly, the
control system would be detected sooner or later. And secondly
and more importantly, it is not required. The odds are such that
over a period of a month the spacing of the winnings and their
volume will be what the casinos have planned for.

A myth that is applicable only to physical casinos is that of
special treatment given to "high rollers." Yes, high rollers do
get complimentary rooms, along with food and drink. Yes they are
given special treatment in the casino. But the myth that this is
given only to those who win big, so that they are tempted to come
back to play again and, hopefully, lose their winnings, is a
myth. These facilities are provided to people who gamble with a
large amount of money and it doesn't matter if they have won or
lost. In fact, providing these facilities to a loser is more
important because it makes him feel compensated, at least to some
extent, for his loss and creates a bond with the casino so that
he will come back again, when he has the money.

Why Write? How Writing Heals
Copyright (c) 2009 Rochelle Melander
Right Now! Coach
http://www.rightnowcoach.com



You've no doubt heard the famous quote, "The pen is mightier
than the sword." (Edward Bulwer-Lytton). What you may not know
is that the pen also trumps medication and the therapist's
couch. The practice of writing can heal you both physically and
emotionally.

Writing Heals Your Body. In a study conducted with asthma
patients at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, School
of Medicine, study participants wrote about their most stressful
experiences. The control group wrote about their daily
activities. According to the book Asthma Free in 21 Days, 47
percent of the patients who wrote about their challenging life
experiences showed improvement in lung function that could not be
attributed to medication or other factors. 24 percent of the
control group showed improvement as well. (See Shafer and
Greenfield, Asthma Free in 21 Days, p. 139) Notice this: both
groups improved their lung function through writing.

Writing Heals Your Heart. Research by psychologist James
Pennebaker has shown that people who used writing to make sense
of their traumatic life experiences had the long-lasting effect
of feeling happier and less anxious. He asked his subjects to
write for fifteen ...minutes a day on four consecutive days. Half
of the group members wrote about a difficult or traumatic event
in their lives. The other half of the group, the control group,
was asked to write about their day or to ...describe their living
environment. A year later, he examined the subject's medical
records. The people who wrote about their difficult experiences
were healthier than the others. What made the difference?
According to Pennebaker, it was the meaning-making that mattered.
The people who showed increased insight into their difficult
situation during the four days stayed healthier than those who
simply wrote about their feelings or the color of their carpet.

Writing Helps You Achieve Your Goals. In a study by psychologist
Laura King, people who wrote about their best possible future
selves showed an immediate increase in mood and, after five
months, a decrease in illness. In addition, this writing work
improved their ability to take control of behavior and make good
changes! Writers were better able to set and achieve their goals.

How Do You Tap Into The Healing Power Of Writing? You write. All
of the studies suggest that any kind of writing will improve your
health and sense of wellbeing. I encourage all of my clients to
do three pages of journaling a day. Maybe you're one of those
people who have always wanted to journal but when you open a
blank book your mind goes blank, too. Here are some ways to get
started:

1. Fill in the blank. Choose one of the sentences below to
complete. List your statements as rapidly as possible.

  * If I told the truth, I'd say ...

  * I deeply desire to ...

  * I need to ...

  * I want to let go of ...

  * I am thankful for ...

2. Write about five difficult things that happened in your
life....

  * Why do you think they happened?...

  * What effects did these events have on your life?...

  * What do you know now that you didn't know before these events
...happened?...

  * What meaning might you derive from these events?......

3. Write about five good things that have happened in your
life....

  * Why do you think they happened?...

  * What effects did these events have on your life?...

  * What do you know now that you didn't know before these events
...happened?...

  * What meaning might you derive from these events?

4. Gratitude Journal. In her book Simple Abundance, Sarah Ban
Breathnach encouraged her readers to use a gratitude journal.
Find a beautiful journal and each night record five items for
which you are thankful. As a twist, do this with your partner or
children. Every few months, I take out a journal and write down
five things I am grateful for about my husband. Then I slip it
under his pillow or on his desk. A few days later, I get it back
with a new list from him.

5. Vision Quest. Ghandi said, "Become the change you want to see
in the world." I say, "Write the change you want to see in your
life!" Each day, write a description of what your life looks
like when it reflects your dreams.

Whatever you write, know that it will heal your body and heart.
Don't ever worry about what you're going to write. Write fast
and carelessly every day. Forget all the rules. Forget that you
are not supposed to write about certain things. Forget what your
English teacher told you about the right way to write. Just get
down your observations, feelings, and ideas. Don't write about
anything boring to you—that's a sign that you are telling lies,
writing to please others and not yourself. When you get stuck,
ask yourself Brenda Ueland's very helpful question: "What in
thunder do you want to say?" Then say it.

When (and When NOT) to Charge for Your Info Products

Article Description:
====================

One of my clients recently asked me whether she should charge for
a series of tip sheets she created for families traveling with
young children. Great question. The truth is, sometimes you
should give information and resources away and sometimes you
should sell them. The real question is WHEN to charge and when
not to. In this article, I'll give you some guidelines around
when to charge and when to give information away.

When (and When NOT) to Charge for Your Info Products
Copyright (c) 2009 Judy Murdoch
Highly Contagious Marketing
http://www.judymurdoch.com/workbook.htm



One of my clients recently asked me whether she should charge for
a series of tip sheets she created for families traveling with
young children. Great question.

There's quite a bit of confusion around whether you should sell
or give away your information products. About half the advice I
hear favors giving information away for free. The other half
favors charging.

The truth is, sometimes you should give information and resources
away and sometimes you should sell them. The real question is
WHEN to charge and when not to.

In this article, I'll give you some guidelines around when to
charge and when to give information away.

=======================================
Start with What Your Business Needs Now
=======================================

Asking where your business is at and what you need to be
successful is a great place to begin.

Every business needs customers, right? So let's look at how
strangers become customers. They go through three stages:

~ Stage One: Visibility (V)

To become a customer a person first needs to know your product
exists. You become visible by getting your product and marketing
message in front of people who fit your ideal customer
description.

~ Stage Two: Credibility (C)

Knowing that your product exists is usually not enough to get
someone to pay cold hard cash for it. Nope, they're thinking
"well, that sounds good but how do I know it will really work?"

During the Credibility stage you need to give them information
that demonstrates your product will deliver as promised.

~ Stage Three: Profitability (P)

Once your prospect is convinced that your product will, indeed,
deliver the promised value, they will pay you and become a
customer.

=======================================
V to C to P = Marketing Funnel
=======================================

Picture a funnel with lots of people coming in the widest part
(visibility), a percentage sticking around to learn more
(credibility), and a percentage of those who stick around
becoming customers (profitability).

At any given time in the life of your business, there are people
at different stages of becoming customers. Some are learning
about you for the first time, some are checking you out to decide
whether they will buy, and some are deciding to buy and paying
you.

Ideally, you have a steady stream of people constantly entering
and moving through the funnel. If they don't enter or don't
continue through, you have a problem and it shows up in your
bottom line: You don't have enough paying customers.

=======================================
When to Give Away and When to Charge
=======================================

To decide whether or not to charge for an information product, I
suggest you take a look at how many people are at each of the
three stages.

Your goal is to use information products as an incentive for
prospects and customers to take the next step.

~ When You Need More Visibility

If you're just starting your business or you want to enter a new
market, you probably need more visibility. You need people to
know your product exists.

When visibility is your goal, I recommend you give something away
that provides value and introduces people to your product or
service.

Why? The goal for visibility is to answer the following
questions:

1. What is it ("it" being your product or service)

2. Does it help someone like me?

You want to give something away that will answer these questions
while asking for something minimal from the prospect.

A common example is offering a free Ezine subscription or a free
report your prospects can download in exchange for their E-mail
address or phone number.

~ When You Need More Credibility

Credibility is an issue when you're getting a lot of first time
visitors and inquiries but not enough are coming back.

For most products and services, people need repeated
demonstrations of what you can do for them. They need to trust
you.

When you are building credibility, I suggest you have two
information products: one that is free and one that you sell.

1. A free product that allows you to build a relationship with
your prospects. Products like Ezines are great because you get a
chance to connect with customers once a month or more.

2. Product you charge for which offers a higher level of customer
value.

  Ideally, this is a "no brainer" purchase. Something for which
the value is so obvious for what you're charging that most
people don't need to think too long or hard about whether to
buy.

Although you will be making some money, the real purpose is to
demonstrate credibility and build trust.

Warning: The biggest complaint I hear is when someone offers a
free report or one-hour teleclass that turns out to be little
more than a sales pitch.

Again, you are creating value and building trust. Doing both will
enable you to convert more prospects to paying customers when the
opportunity presents itself.

A sneaky sales pitch will undermine the trust you are trying to
build.

~ If You Need More Profitability

If you have a large, loyal base of readers, subscribers, or
members who have been hanging out with you for several months and
like what they're getting, some of them will want to invest some
serious time and money for your focused time and attention.

For example, a consultant I know sends out a free monthly Ezine
to her mailing list and sells low cost Tip Sheets, Checklists,
and so on.

Each month 3-5 of her subscribers contact her to learn more about
her workshops and seminars costing $500+. She usually books 6 to
8 engagements this way each year.

She explained it to me like this, "I try to provide something
useful that my readers can apply right away. For example, I sell
a $5.00 meeting organizer they can use to have more productive
meetings. Sometimes this is all they need."

"But sometimes they're in a situation that goes way beyond the
DIY stage. They need someone from outside the company to step in
and help them set up a new system or to help them hire a new
executive."

Allowing your prospects to upgrade (or escalate) and get a higher
level of support is not only profitable, it's how you can really
serve your clients.

=======================================
Bottom Line
=======================================

Whether or not to charge for your information products depends on
what your business needs in terms of developing customer
relationships.

The less known you are to people fitting your ideal customer
profile, the more important it is to offer free or low cost
information products which provide something of value.

As you build trust and as your prospects learn how you can help
them, you can offer more expensive, higher commitment products
for those who want (and can afford) them.

Easy Tips To Reduce Your Cost Of Living And Survive Recession

Recession is a period of general economic decline and we need to
prepare for it. Surviving the recession is much easier when you
are prepared for it.

Here are some tips for surviving the current economic crisis.

Don't panic, keep your senses open and pay great attention to
the market news. Only a thorough knowledge about recession will
help you to cope up with the situation. Read books, visit public
libraries, gather information etc.

Calculate your total monthly necessary expenses as well as your
total monthly discretionary expenses. Your total necessary
expenses are those that must be paid even if you lose your job.
Clearing your mortgage or rent, your gas and electric bills,
groceries, your minimum credit card payments are a necessary
expense.

A discretionary expense is an expense you can eliminate without a
substantial penalty. Cable TV, the pool membership, and meals out
are all discretionary expenses. You can get rid of your
discretionary expenses. Get rid of anything that is a waste of
money or is no longer needed.

You can also trim or cut back some of your expenses. Save on
heating and air conditioning. Turn off lights and appliances when
not in use. Cut back on the number of times you eat out. Cut back
on entertainment in general. Instead of going to a movie and
spending money on popcorn, rent a movie and pop some microwave
popcorn.

Try to make dinners and lunches that are more economical.

If you have always paid your bills on time and are in good
standing with your credit card companies, ask them to reduce your
interest rate.

Making these small changes can add up to a few bucks a month.

Spend wisely and prudently.

Always keep an emergency fund with you.

Keep your budget with you at all times. Before you spend money on
something, look at the budget. By constantly referring to your
budget, you will be reminded of your goal. Stay focused and
determined.

Keep your budget updated.

Money breeds money, hence try to find out alternative sectors
where you can make money. Be positive and invest in them because
recession always creates opportunity. Try to earn as much as
possible by making smart moves and decisions.

If you lose your job due to recession, never get depressed or
feel bad about it. Use your skills to earn as much as you can.
Change your field if you want.

If somehow you struggle to make mortgage payments, keep calm and
think for the best possible option. May be you can opt for
extending the mortgage payment period or may be you can
temporarily do away with the interest.

Never try to get your hand on any additional major loans or
debts. It may only deteriorate your current situation.

For some, these tips may be easy. Others may need to make some
lifestyle decisions.

The choice is yours. But for peace of mind, it is better to cut
back your expenses now than to be short of money should the
unfortunate happen.

Fred Vanhoosen writes money issues. While he recommends that one
should be careful about using cash advance loans in times of dire
need, he also knows that sometimes we need fast access to fast
money to cover an unexpected expense. When that happens, Fred
recommends http://www.fastcash4all.net/ for your payday loan needs.

Taking Advantage of the Stock Market
Copyright (c) 2009 Irene A. Majchrzak
Debt Free To Retire
http://debtfreetoretire.com/



Is the market rebounding? The Dow, leveling out each week because
it gets a rise in the market one day and a pullback the next day,
comes from investors' taking their profits. This will probably
continue for a year or so until the really large investors such
as Hedge Fund Managers, Institutional Investors like Mutual Fund
and 401(k) managers start purchasing the really great stocks at
lower prices for the longer term.

You might start looking for those investments that might be a
great buy and start to determine your strategies for owning new
mutual funds or stocks. You may have a deeply hidden desire to
own stock in a company like this 64 year old client never really
interested in investing any money for his future. I guess no one
had explained that you could put any investment into your Roth or
traditional IRA or after-tax investments. When he heard this he
said, in a very mild mannered voice, "Could I own stock in
Harley-Davidson?"

Being prudent and fiscally responsible we discussed what money
would be used, how to choose an investment, and what exit
strategies we were going to devise for his portfolio.

Step 1. Review of your finances. Have you determined that you do
have discretionary income that could be used to invest? While we
will discuss strategies for choosing stock and discuss when you
will get out of the investment, the money will be at risk if
investing is a choice you make. It is very important to recognize
that there is a danger of loss in any investment.

Choosing a stock could be as simple as the client above stated,
knowing about a company and wanting to own shares or you may want
to do your own research into stocks of various companies or
sectors. While you are looking at your stock choice you will want
to read some of the newsworthy items regarding the business or
sector itself. Identify problems that may have been causing the
stock price to fall or to rise. Look at merger information, read
the annual report of the company you are considering.

Step 2. Start to follow the stock price in the paper or online.
Start to form a list of those items that may be important to you
about the stock, itself. Does it pay dividends? How did the stock
perform in the last period of 2000-2008? What is there about the
stock that you like? Find worrisome? Has the stock been
repurchased by the company recently, and why? What is the current
price, etc.?

The newspaper will give you a variety of information about the
company you are choosing. Compare it to other companies. Make
sure you understand terminology or importance of concepts used to
describe the stocks such as selling on large volume, 200 day
moving average, etc. Go on-line or discuss the information with
your advisor.

Step 3. Determine an exit strategy. Exit strategies are very
important when deciding to own or purchase stocks. You must have
a plan for buying and selling your stock. In years past investors
used a buy and hold strategy that kept them tied to their
investment for the long term, many years. Investing today is
based on exit strategies.

Step 4. Choose an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) or stock, decide the
percentage of profit you will make before you sell it, and then
sell it. Some investors think 8% over your purchase price, others
10%. But having a plan is essential. Buy and hold is not as clear
an option as it once was.

You may want to choose to sell the stock if it is not growing
after 3-6 months. Instead of keeping the investment for the long
term, sell it, buy something else you have researched that does
have better growth potential. Investors are selling to get back
their profits and it may be what is hindering the growth of your
investment.

Step 5. Look at opportunities to protect your profits with a
stop/loss. A Stop/loss strategy will allow you to protect your
profit by placing a stop(sell) to prevent a loss on your
investment. You could further, protect profits by continuing to
move the stop/loss upwards as your profits increase, always
staying about 2-3% below the current price. If the stock begins
to fall and hits your stop/loss price, it will automatically be
sold. Meanwhile, look for the next stock to invest your profits.

Are You Considering A Career As A Microsoft Network Administrator?
Copyright (c) 2009 Frank Pines
CDI Communications Inc
http://www.netwind.com/



Computer technology has become an essential part of every
industry and sector, whether civic or commercial. The industry
continues to expand its capabilities, making the continuous and
smooth operation of the Information Technology (IT) department a
crucial aspect of any large organization.

As more computer systems run on the Microsoft platform, there is
a high and growing demand for Microsoft Network Administrators.

As a Microsoft Network Administrator, you will generally need to
deal with both the hardware and software on computer systems -
dealing with installations, optimization, and trouble-shooting.

While your annual salary may start in the mid $30,000 range, as
you gain experience over time, this can double or even triple in
very short order.

Most Network Administrators choose to sub-specialize. This allows
one to work in a more technical capacity, and consequently
advances you to the next pay level.

The most typical selections are Microsoft Product Specialist and
Microsoft Systems Engineer, both of which one can earn industry
recognized certificates - Microsoft Certified Professional and
Microsoft Certified System Engineer. And the newest generation of
certifications include the Microsoft Certified Technology
Specialist (MCTS) and Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP)
credentials

In the industry today, especially if you are newly entering the
field, you should expect to show clients a certificate when they
are looking to contract or hire you.

To become a Microsoft Network Administrator, you must first have
thorough knowledge of both hardware and software. If you choose
to enroll in a program, typically there are no pre-requisites and
a high school diploma is not required, so there is definitely the
opportunity to start from scratch and work your way up. Some
people choose to learn on their own through self-study training
courses, books, Internet research, and hands-on personal
experience.

Whichever education path you choose, there are some basics you
must learn:

1. Microsoft operating systems: Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and any
new operating systems that may come out. You must know the older
versions in case your client uses it, but stay up to date on the
new versions, where you are likely to find the most demand in
installations and trouble-shooting.

2. Network cabling. This includes knowing the hardware, the
different types of cables out there, and which cables are best
suited for the needs of the computer network.

3. Know all about TCP/IP and how to sub-net a network.

4. Network security. Be well acquainted with all the security
software out there. Know Microsoft's built-in security inside
out - how to make it work and how to bypass it.

Once you have the basics down, you must learn the intricacies of
system architecture.

First, you must learn business analysis, where you must assess an
organization's needs and thereby design a system that will not
only meet its basic requirements, but optimize its efficiency and
profit making capabilities.

Next, the plan that has been created must be executed; this
includes installing new software and hardware, customizing the
configuration to the business, maintaining the system's
integrity, updating the system when better solutions come onto
the market, diagnose problems that may arise, and resolve those
issues in the timeliest manner possible.

All this means that on a daily basis, you must always be
prepared. This may include late night hours and weekends, as you
must be available to your clients at all times in case of
technical problems, which we all know constantly occur.

You must act with calm and patience; you will deal with quite a
few frantic people over the phone.

You must always be vigilant, constantly monitoring the systems of
all your clients, as the best problem treatment is problem
prevention.

In the end, a career as a Microsoft Network Administrator
requires a solid educational foundation and a commitment to
continuous learning, but it also requires you to bring your
"A-Game" to the job of helping your employer maintain smooth
and profitable operations.

The Old Towne Bed and Breakfast has four unique bedrooms
(designed and decorated by Susan) with 3 private bathrooms. The
owners of the Old Towne B&B can accommodate individuals on
vacations or honeymoons, and if needed, they can accommodate
large groups for reunions or weddings, in the event you would
want to rent the whole house for your event.

Excellent Food

Each room provides a stocked fridge, and guests are offered wine
and cheese provided every afternoon.

The food is good. In fact, proprietor Earl Rothberger enjoys
getting into the kitchen and providing anything his guests might
ask to eat. Earl has a gift for food preparation that enables him
to brilliantly answer to the food needs of his guests, from eggs
benedict, to delicious homemade bread, homemade rosemary bread,
or vegetarian dishes.

Pefect For The Business Traveler

The Old Towne B&B has made its accommodations suitable for
business travelers. They provide free computer access, copying
machines, fax machines, and Internet access - everything that the
business traveler needs on those business trips or working
vacations.

I know how hard it is to leave the office at the office when you
are on vacation, but the Old Towne has shown itself to be aware
of our need for connectivity, while at the same time creating an
environment that will allow us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Central Location

Old Towne Bed and Breakfast is a quaint house nestled on Signal
Mountain, Tennessee. It is perfect place to stay of you have a
relative at Alexian Nursing Home - just seconds down the street.

Located just 12 miles from downtown Chattanooga, it's location
makes it convenient to the business traveler or the couple on
vacation.

In Signal Mountain and nearby Chattanooga, one has quick and easy
access to boutiques, restaurants, and antiques shopping. In
Signal Mountain, the downtown area offers many attractions
including: a beautiful aquarium, Ruby Falls, Rock City, The
Chattanooga Choo-Choo, and several Civil War battlefields.

If you plan to visit the Old Towne with your children, you will
find a wealth of playgrounds to choose from, and if you are a bit
more adventurous, your kids will have a thrill at the Pumpkin
Patch or the downtown Creative Discovery Museum.

Some wonderful attractions within driving distance, include:
Monteagle, Lookout Mountain, historic Chickamauga battlefield,
and the Applachian mountains.

Signal Mountain, TN played a pivotal role for the Union army
during the Civil War, starting in 1863. You can read more about
the historical significance of this area at the Signal Mountain
community website (http://www.sigmtn.com/community/history.php).

Activities

If you are visiting the area during the summer months, one of the
highpoints of the local culture includes a trip to watch the
Lookouts Baseball games. The team's stadium overlooks the
beautiful Tennessee River.

For the more civilized among us, the local area boasts of several
local golf and country clubs, and tennis courts for your
enjoyment.

But for those of us who like to dive into our natural
surroundings, mountain treks are not out of the norm. In fact, if
you are an extreme outdoors adventurer, there are great rock
climbing sites, mountain biking trails, and several white water
rivers around the area to explore.

While the extreme outdoors is not for everyone, the beginner
hiking trails invite anyone and everyone to visit, and along the
way, you might even take up bird watching, as the local natural
habitat appeals to a great diversity of animals and birds.

The Old Towne Experience

Innkeepers, Earl and Susan Rothberger welcome anyone from
anywhere in the world to come visit their quaint and beautiful
Bed And Breakfast.

There is no minimum stay, so if you stay for one night or two
weeks you will be very welcome, and the rates are very reasonable
- at a little over one hundred dollars per night.

With a recent addition to the home, the Rothberger's have added
a lovely deck overlooking a garden. Also, you can enjoy a nice
soak in the hot tub with a nice glass of wine, if you feel so
inclined. The owners have also acquired a wide selection of dvds
and board games if you happen to be staying with them on a rainy
or snowy day.

Having made the journey to Tennessee, I can't help but recommend
it to anyone who loves the great outdoors and the cozy
environment brought forth by the Old Towne B&B, just a few miles
to the northwest of Chattanooga, TN.

The Signal Mountain, Tenn area offers activities for all ages.
And for my taste, the Old Towne Bed and Breakfast is the choice
for my weekend getaways and sleeping accommodations in the
Tennessee valley area.

To learn more about the Old Towne Bed and Breakfast, give the
Rothberger's a call at 1-423-886-4561, or learn more about their
establishment online at:

Top Ten Tips For Happy Holiday Car Hire
Copyright (c) 2009 Tobias Bowman
Budget Rent a Car UK
http://www.budget.co.uk/



When organising a holiday, more often than not what can go wrong
will go wrong. There is a wealth of horror stories telling of
bankrupt tour operators and roach infested hotels. Car hire is
not immune as the subject of these sorts of tales, however with
this expert checklist you can make sure you have all the bases
covered before you leave your house.

1. If you are a frequent flier with a specific airline then you
may well be eligible for fantastic discounts on car hire from
your service provider. Check with your airline to see if you are
eligible and find out what car hire companies they affiliate
with.

2. Save extra money and book online. The resources that are used
to provide an online booking service are far less than over the
phone, hence the savings are passed on to you. A car hire company
should have an E-commerce website and if they don't then you
might want to rethink your selection. If you are a technophobe
then get your 12 year old child to do it for you.

3. Check the contract carefully. There is a minefield of
potential contractual nightmares regarding insurance, liability
clauses, excess limits, who can drive and so on. Large car hire
companies will have a relatively standard contract and
infrastructure to provide support for any questions you might
have. Double check and ask questions because it is easier to do
it before you travel.

4. Get a confirmation number. It might seem rather obvious, but
your car hire provider should give you a confirmation number to
confirm your reservation. This will allow them to access your
details instantly and it is also worth providing your car hire
company with the details of your flight. This will protect you if
your flight runs into delays, as some car hire companies might
rehire the car in the event of you not turning up within a
certain time.

5. Is bigger better? Some car hire companies might offer you a
free upgrade on the spec of your hire car. This might seem like a
blessing however double check that there are no additional
contractual obligations with the upgrade. Obviously the fuel bill
will be higher and for those of us concerned with the
environment, the fuel consumption therefore emissions will be
higher.

6. On the subject of fuel, fill it up yourself. You have to
return the hire car with a full tank of gas and it is seriously
worth doing that at a gas station before you return the car. The
fuel surcharge by companies can severely sting your wallet, so be
organised and not in a mad rush. Leave yourself enough time to
fill the car up.

7. Check the vehicle before you accept the hire car. Easier said
than done with screaming children but it is seriously worth it.
Challenge any marks or inconsistencies with the report because if
you miss them, the car hire company will not and you will pay for
the pleasure of repairing their car.

8. Do not drink and drive. There are so many more important
reasons why, however in this context you will be void of
insurance and liable for everything that happens in an accident.
The same is true if you are under the influence of drugs, so just
don't do it.

9. Check the time when the vehicle has to be returned. Another
charge, similar to the fuel charge, that is a great source of
revenue for car hire companies. There are no excuses for late
return and you will be charged through the nose. If you are
definitely going to run over then inform them in advance and they
might be able to accommodate an extension at a pre-arranged rate.

10. Be organised. All these pointers will only work if you are
organised about your car hire. People end up paying extortionate
rates when they incur all these surcharges and they are in
abundance; if you plan your car hire properly and use this list
and you will not pay over the odds.

Dating Rules Explained: How to Turn Your Date Into a Relationship
Copyright (c) 2009 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



How adults behave on a date depends more on their intentions
towards the other person than it does on other factors. For
instance, a man who really likes a woman is going to behave
differently towards her than he would a woman he is only casually
interested in. Sometimes, it is hard to know the difference.

If you really like a guy, you may not be paying attention to his
body language, the inflection of his voice as he speaks, or the
tone of voice in which he is speaking, and so might miss some of
the non verbal cues that would otherwise clue you in to what he
is thinking, and how he views you. Does he view you as a
potential partner, or a potential bed partner?

We all know the dating rules, or at least enough of them to know
what to do and what not to do on a date. However, if you are
dating for real, some of those rules don't apply. The rules for
dating were largely established a few decades ago to make it
easier for people to date, and figure out how to behave towards
each other when they had no idea how dating between a man and a
woman is supposed to work.

When you date for real, as in you are looking for a lasting
connection with a man, rather than a fleeting infatuation, you
are more likely to put yourself out there, be more honest and
more direct than you would be normally. The interesting side
effect of such blatant courage is that the man you are showing
your real self to is blown away by your honesty and will probably
respond in kind. A real relationship is not based on mind games
or attempts at power plays or control.

If you begin your association with communication, honesty, and
forthrightness, the chances are good that that will be the basis
for the dynamic of your relationship. If you or he goes the other
way, and depends upon a list of antiquated guidelines to look to
for correct behavior, the relationship will never really get off
the ground because neither of you will ever really get to know
the other person.

It's not about being polite, its about being you, the real you.

What happens a lot of times is that a woman will meet a man that
she likes or who fits all of her idealistic relationship
criteria: he is successful, he is good looking, intelligent, has
a nice body, etc.....then she will try to figure out what he
wants in a woman, and she will mold her personality to fit into
what she THINKS he wants. Then what happens?

He is still not having a relationship with her. He is having a
relationship with the woman he thinks she is. But she will soon
grow tired of this game, and he will eventually notice that she
is unhappy but will be unable to figure out why.

Dating for real is scary because it means that you have to let
the other person in. You have to let them see who you really are
in order to start something. Just as you need to see who he
really is. You need to fight through the nice clothes, and the
fancy car, and the sexy voice, down to who he is on the inside.

It's a long, arduous frustrating journey, but at the end of all
that, guess what you will have? You will have a bond with a man
who knows you don't look like Tyra Banks in the morning when you
wake up, but loves you anyway.

So many men are looking for good women, and so many women are
looking for good men, and they are all around us all the time.
They are lonely and confused and have a few dings and scratches,
or even a humdinger of a dent, but with a little care and
patience, and honesty, they could be good for us.

What we put into a relationship is what we get out of a
relationship. If you're dating for real, be yourself. If he
takes off, he is not the one for you. That's all it is.

This is life. We are going to be rejected. It happens. But don't
shy away from being yourself for fear of rejection.

The hypothetical man in the above story just wanted a woman to be
with who he could share his time and his life with. If she had
been authentic with him from the beginning, things would have
been different.

Be Real. That is the only dating rule you really need to follow.

13 Tips For Saving Money And Reducing Your Cost Of Living
Copyright (c) 2009 Fred Vanhoosen
Fast Cash 4 All Net
http://www.fastcash4all.net/



During this current economic downturn, people are rediscovering
how to save money during hard times. In this article, we document
thirteen of the most useful tips for helping you and your family
save money and reduce your overall expenses.

While it is true that there are two ways to regain control of
your personal finances (1. Cut costs; and 2. Increase income),
the saving money part is far easier for most people to
accomplish. If in fact you are seeking out new sources of income
to supplement your current income, you should review this article
(http://tinyurl.com/lnm282) that shows you where you can find
telecommuting jobs online.

If you are looking for a job, then find a job. But if you are
looking to discover old and new ways to save money, then read the
thirteen money saving tips shown here:

1. Do you find yourself reading more news online and only reading
the paper for comics or coupons? Then bookmark both a comics
website and printable coupons site (like coupons.com) and cancel
the newspaper. Save paper and money on delivery.

2. Don't buy it unless you know that you will use it for
certain. The "this might be handy" purchases can drain money
and closet space, when you find that the maybe situations don't
come up.

3. Some utility companies give the option of installing a power
meter that shows you energy consumption for the entire house at
any given moment. This constant awareness of the consumption rate
can lead home owners to cut back, where a monthly bill might not
be enough motivation.

4. Get rid of the garbage disposal. It encourages you to get rid
of waste by dumping it down the sink. If you have to put it in
the trash, you have a stronger visual signal of how much food was
wasted, and thus a better reason to either eat the food or not
fix as much. This also saves water, since garbage disposals
require water to work appropriately. It is best to compost, but
even putting it in the trash is better than putting it down the
sink and wasting both food and water at the same time.

5. You're thinking of planting a garden. Although ease of
growing and food preferences are factors, don't forget to pick
plants or plant varieties that require little water, fertilizer,
and pesticides.

6. Take your shoes off inside the house. It reduces wear and tear
on shoes, which are more expensive than socks, and reduces the
scuff marks you have to clean up.

7. Like an exercise program? Ask about becoming an assistant
instructor or motivator. It would most likely be free to do, but
even if the venue wants to charge you money to be an assistant,
you can likely get the classes at a reduced cost.

8. Only get magnetic bumper stickers. There's no clean up
necessary when you change your mind, you can put it on your
fridge or work cubicle at a whim, and can be removed in locations
where such sentiments can get your car keyed.

9. Gambling never makes money, so do not go into a casino unless
you work there.

10. If you indulge in "retail therapy", shopping for a pick me
up, look for a job as a mystery shopper. And then do not go into
the store unless paid to do so. At the very least, only shop when
someone else is paying for the merchandise.

11. If you are in debt, don't touch the alcohol - unless you're
serving it to someone else. This is a vice that is doubly crucial
to contain, since we often do stupid things under the influence
of alcohol. From drunk driving (and expensive tickets) to
purchases and conversations we would not make when sober (both
physically and emotionally costly). When the financial stress
begins to mount, step away from the alcohol. This will certainly
save your budget, and possibly far, far more.

12. Do not drink the coffee unless it is fueling your night shift
job, and thus is a justifiable business expense. Even in this
case, skip the Starbucks latte for Dunkin Donuts or McDonald's
coffee. Better yet, make your own coffee and brown bag it in a
thermos to work to save even more money. And having your own
coffee at hand can reduce the temptation to buy a snack while
already in line to buy the coffee.

13. True emergencies are defined by something physical being
broken: your bones, your car, your roof. We often think of an
emotional disaster as an emergency, and then spend part of our
emergency fund to make it better. Don't break into your
financial piggy bank when something physical isn't broken.
Broken hearts because you won't go on a cruise with someone or
mall trip for the weekend do not count. Breaking the mold and
expectations - like not sending the kids on a summer camp when
you are worried about paying the credit card bill - are
completely acceptable. Redefine your emergencies for which you
touch your emergency fund.

While it may seem like all is lost right now in your time of
need, it is important to always keep a positive mental attitude.
Stress kills, and besides, it is easier to uncover the good times
that await you if you are in a good mood now and into the future.

Retirement Is the Perfect Time to Fulfill Your Cherished Dream of Writing

Article Description:
====================

Retirees are particularly qualified to fulfill their dreams of
writing. They can call on years of life and work experience.
Don't succumb to the myth that only a chosen few can see their
words in print. You can do it too, but it is essential to think
your project through and complete the research necessary to
create quality content, whether your choice is fiction or
nonfiction.

Retirement Is the Perfect Time to Fulfill Your Cherished Dream of Writing
Copyright (c) 2009 Charles Jacobs
Retire And Write
http://www.retireandwrite.com



The Gallup Survey Organization says 81% of mature adults long to
write a book. You're probably one of them.

In a poll sponsored by the Eons.com web site, 14,000 Seniors and
Boomers chose writing as one of their most cherished life dreams.

What's your choice for retirement writing? The novel you've
always dreamed of crafting? Perhaps a memoir for loved ones?
Maybe you'd prefer to turn out interesting magazine articles on
the favorite hobby you've pursued for so many years. Like many
others, you may want to maintain contact with your former career
by writing articles for trade magazines or possibly a how-to
book.

What's holding you back? Are you reluctant because writing seems
to be so challenging? Limited to just the chosen few? That's
nonsense. Don't let those myths keep you from trying what
you've always dreamed of.

Retirement Writing

As a retiree you have great advantages that will help you to
fulfill your dream of becoming a published author. You have
time...free time at last to pursue the activities you love. You
bring years of life experience and professional knowledge to the
task.

Can you use those advantages to become a published author?
Certainly you can. You'll probably never reach best seller
status, although some late starters have accomplished that feat.
But with some effort and dedication, you can see your words in
print as an article or a book. And they can be distributed over
the Internet for millions to see.

It's time to move beyond the starting gate. Set aside those
fears of failure. No task can be completed if it isn't begun. No
challenge overcome until it is tackled. So it is with writing.
Once you start, you'll see your confidence build.

Lawrence Block, a prolific novelist and writing instructor, says,
"Writing has this in common with most other skills; we develop
it best by practicing it. Whatever writing we do helps us to
become better writers."

Before You Face the Computer

The process begins well before you sit down at your computer to
write the opening lines of your new gem. A bit of self-searching
will put you on track. Think through your answers to several key
questions:

  * Why do I want to write? Is my goal self-fulfillment? Do I have
a message I want to deliver to others? Do I want the thrill of
seeing my words in print? Am I trying to supplement my income?

  * What category of writing can best help me attain that goal?
What category is most comfortable for me?

  * Do I want to write just a single piece (a memoir, for
example)? Or do I hope to make writing a new career?

  * How much time am I willing to devote to the task?

  * Will I be happier writing articles or a book?

Whatever your answers may be, be absolutely certain you are
comfortable with them. This is particularly important if you plan
to write a full-length book, for you will be married to that task
for a substantial length of time.

Making Your Choice

Beginning writers regularly ask, "Where can I find ideas?" The
answer, in short, is the world around you. There are no limits to
the ideas that astute observers can develop. And writers must be
alert spectators.

Ideas abound right in your own home. Coping with a dear one's
terminal illness. Issues that caused a divorce. Secrets of a
relationship that grows stronger with every year of marriage. An
unusual family heritage. Cooking or decorating ideas. Unique
holiday celebrations. The list is endless.

Beyond your four walls there is an endless storehouse of ideas.
You find them all around you by listening and watching and
hearing what friends and relatives talk about. Stories, books and
articles are built around events and emotions that people
experience.

You can also find them every day in the newspaper. You can choose
to follow up a factual report and expand it far beyond what a
rushed reporter can do on a tight deadline. Or you can choose to
take the idea and fictionalize it, adding your own twists and
turns.

A book like Writer's Market, updated annually by Writer's
Digest Books is a treasure trove of ideas. It offers hundreds of
pages of periodical listings categorized by subject. Freelancers
use it as a bible to locate publications that might use their
stories. You can use it as a trigger for ideas as you flip
through the 50 categories of consumer magazines and 60 categories
of trade journals.

Getting Ready

Whether you're about to embark on a novel or nonfiction, an
article or a full length book, you're not ready to face that
blank computer monitor until you've completed all of your
initial homework. That includes evaluating the responses to the
question listed above..

Most fiction writers begin by drafting an outline of the plot. As
each main character is fully developed-and you as the author must
know those key players as well as you know yourself--changes will
be necessitated in the outline. You must research the locale(s)
and the time period of the book, for nothing can cause a reader
to lose interest faster than discovering factual mistakes made by
a careless writer.

The essence of nonfiction is fact, and you better know your facts
intimately and accurately if you are to achieve success. Whether
you are writing an historical piece or a how-to, do your
research. Know your subject. Those of you who choose to write on
your work specialty better make certain you are up to date on all
the latest developments. Always remember that progress didn't
end on the day you retired. Change has occurred, and you better
be aware of it.

The key word here is research. Getting up to speed. Knowing your
subject intimately. Without this, you run the serious risk of
suffering from the author's dread disease, Writer's Block. It
usually results from facing a stark white computer screen that
seems to leer at you, challenging you to make the leap from brain
to computer, from thought to the reality of converting those
thoughts into words and placing them on the computer. Writers who
have done their research well and know their subject will seldom
if ever face this problem.

The one last component that you must agree to is discipline.
Whether you choose to devote only two or three hours a day to
your writing or anticipate making it a full-time job, it cannot
be hit-or-miss. You must set a rigid schedule, and follow it. A
few hours each morning leaves lots of time for other activities,
yet adds a hugely enriching complement to your retirement years.

Body Detox Diet Do's and Don'ts
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Body Detox Tips
http://www.bodydetoxtips.com/



With so many body detox plans offered everywhere, it can be quite
confusing which ones to follow and which ones to avoid. For
something as important and as sensitive as a whole body detox,
you should be able to arm yourself with the right kind of
information. A good way to start is to get in touch with a body
detox diet that you know you can be confident with.

So what should be in and what should be out of your body detox
diet? While there will be some types of food that will be
completely shunned from your meal plate, there will also be those
which will still be included but to a minimal degree. The goal
really is to include those that will enhance the natural body
detox mechanism of the system as well as boost the immune
structure to make it strong against diseases.

Approved Body Detox Diet Principles

  * Include bioflavonoids in your meals. Bioflavonoids may sound
new but it just actually pertains to the healthful nutrients that
can be found in citrus fruits, buckwheat, onion, and garlic. They
contain antioxidants that prevent toxic free radicals that damage
the cells in the body.

  * Eat more of the pulses, vegetables, and whole grains. These
foods include a number of nutrients but are especially rich in
Vitamin B. Vitamin B helps keep a healthy liver, which is the
main body detox system responsible for cleansing the blood from
toxins and impurities.

  * Go natural and organic. There are foods that are great as they
are than when they are cooked. This is especially true when it
comes to tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, grapefruit, and oranges.
All of them are rich in Vitamin C that is the winner in achieving
a strong immune system.

Eliminated/Minimized in the Body Detox Diet

i) Lots and lots of salt. Some people have been so used to the
salty taste in their meals that they don't find it delicious
unless it's saline. What they are not aware of is that they will
come to appreciate the natural taste of the food combination more
when they do not add salt to their meals. Besides, salt is
definitely toxic!

ii) Processed sugars and combined carbohydrates. Every after
meal, it is tempting to get a candy from the jar or finish off
with a bag of chips. While these foods give zero calories, they
also cause the insulin levels in the body to get unstable. So if
you don't want to be a victim of depression, shun junk food from
your body detox diet permanently.

iii) Bottles or cases of alcohol. When it is time to party, the
temptation to drown oneself in alcohol and enjoy the instant
euphoria can be very strong. Meanwhile, it is also common
knowledge that many people suffer from liver diseases or worst
liver cancer. So if you are totally serious about your body detox
program, enjoy the party without the alcohol and wake in the
morning feeling fresh and happy.

Certainly, adhering to a body detox diet is not an easy job. But
once you get started, you will feel that this new lifestyle is
much better than your old one.

Mailers Your Powerful Message For Success
Copyright (c) 2009 Cathy Q
the A-Y-B Internet Marketing Newsletter
http://a-y-b.com/



Auto responders are a powerful marketing tool, saving you time
and bringing you money. Mailers are one of the ways you can use
this tool to its fullest potential. Firstly choose a reliable
auto responder and know that not all auto responders are the
same.

What is a mailer? It is a sequence of messages set up to sell a
product or service. They are a series of messages sent to your
list at timed intervals. A good timed interval for information
about a product or opportunity is about 7-10 days on a daily
basis. This would be to leads/prospects that need more
information.

Another mailer can be set up for your newsletter list
(subscribers) This should be information on a certain
product/service that will be useful to them. Remember your
newsletter list is your most valuable one. Always make sure that
you offer them information on products and services that they can
really use. Treat your subscribers like the loyal readers they
are. Another way of timing for this type of information is to
send 1 then another 2-3 days later another after a week.

Mailers to your customer list can be very profitable. This is
called backend selling. It is most important when you sell a
product to follow up with your customer. Your first mailer will
be your thank you note, within 24 hours of purchase. It would be
thanking your customer for their purchase and asking them to
contact you should they have any help. You can also refer to them
to your FAQ page, for further assistance. In 1 week you can check
up with your customer and this time you can include a flyer or
note about a useful related product. You can also offer a special
discounted price.

Who are you sending these messages to? You will be sending them
to prospective clients/leads/customers. A word of caution, never
send messages to anyone on a random basis. This is Spam and can
get you into more trouble than you can ever imagine. Always send
to your opt in list, those who have specifically asked to get
information and emails from you, or your established customers.

Mailers are very effective tools for closing the sale, and
getting repeat sales. They are simple to set up; save you time
and can make you a lot of extra sales when set up correctly. With
these points you have the means to utilize a powerful tool, which
will continue to make you money.

Lessons in Business Naming from Newspaper Headlines
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Two headlines in the "Home" section of my local newspaper
caught my eye the other day: "Natural floors can be knotty and
nice" and "Serving cheese with ease." Both headlines involve
enjoyable wordplay of the sort that could easily figure in
business names or tag lines. I can imagine "KnottyandNice.com"
as the domain name for a wooden items crafts shop, and "Cheese
with ease" as the tag line for a cheese lovers' online
community.

So I went looking for some tips on writing news headlines,
thinking they might offer valuable insights for naming, too.
After all, news editors need to come up with informative, catchy
headers numerous times every workday.

Even more challenging, their headers need to fit the available
space. They need to be able to condense or stretch an idea's
expression, depending on how many columns an article spreads
across.

My Google search didn't quickly turn up any such tips, though.
Maybe headline writing is an art passed on in secret by grizzled,
ink-stained veterans during the midnight shift.

Nevertheless, by pondering a couple of dozen headlines, I was
able to observe several key points.

1. Newspaper headline writers collect short, vivid verbs, such as
"mines" ("Obama mines small, red states"), "stirs,"
"pushes," "clings," "set," "edges," "sparks,"
"tosses," "sees," "OKs" and much more. Not only can
headlines with verbs tell a complete story, they convey energy.

Because verbs are frequently overlooked as an element in naming,
these punchy little words can help you come up with a
trademarkable name or a free domain in a competitive industry.

2. Long, vivid words can also come in handy. In the headline
"Super Bowl party can be gastronomical success," the word
"gastronomical" rescues the line from dullness. It's a
wonderful word that could be tweaked in a zillion creative ways
for a company name or tag line.

The lesson: long, vivid words can help you convey a complicated
idea concisely, as long as your average customer has an inkling
of their meaning.

3. Short, vivid words come in useful, too. Take a look at the
word "ire" in the headline "Delay in polar bear decision draws
ire of Senate." This is another kind of word that most people
understand yet probably wouldn't think to use.

4. Combined cleverly, ordinary words can please inordinately.
Besides the rhyme in "cheese with ease" and the homonym in
"knotty and nice," I also found "Hoops and hollers" atop a
photo of kids cheering at a basketball game, which illustrates
alliteration - the repetition of initial letters or sounds.

Another headline, "Bush comes clean with former addicts," used
an expression with two meanings that both tie in with the subject
matter - George W. Bush talking openly about his former drinking
problem.

All in all, your newspaper can serve as a source of instruction
and inspiration for naming. Just make sure you screen out
bloopers like these, which have actually appeared in newspapers:

  * Blind Woman Gets New Kidney from Dad she Hasn't Seen in Years

  * Grandmother of Eight Makes Hole in One

  * Quarter of a Million Chinese Live on Water

  * Stolen Painting Found by Tree

  * Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim

  * Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges

  * Iraqi Head Seeks Arms

  * Kids Make Nutritious Snacks

Online Fax - Five Super Reasons To Fax Online
Copyright (c) 2009 Titus Hoskins
Bizware Magic
http://www.bizwaremagic.com



Internet or Online fax has become extremely popular in the last
four or five years. Countless individuals have suddenly
discovered this new way of faxing and have truly embraced it.
Over the same time frame, many businesses, both big and small,
are switching over to this new faxing technology.

But what exactly is online faxing and why has it become so
popular so quickly?

Simply put, Internet fax is using your email system and the web
to send and receive all your faxes. First, you have to sign-up to
an online fax service provider which acts as an intermediary to
handle all your faxing. You are given your own local or Toll-Free
fax number and your faxes are sent as email attachments, usually
in TIFF or PDF format.

You can send your faxes in several different ways, you can logon
to your fax service account (interface) where your faxes are
stored and send your faxes from there. Some fax services have a
desktop application for faxing or you can use your own email
program. Plus you can still use a traditional fax machine to send
and/or receive your faxes.

More and more individuals are dishing the old fax machine in
favor of their computer and the Internet. Many faxes are now
simply sent and received by computers via the web - bringing this
common business task into the modern age.

Here are five super reasons why online faxing has become so
popular:

1. Convenience

Online fax is very convenient to use because it is paperless and
inkless. Because there are no more paper jams or messy inks to
fool around with - it is quick and fast. Creating your faxes can
also be more expedient because you can prepare them on your
computer and then quickly send them without bothering with the
old traditional fax machine.

2. Accessibility

Your faxes are accessible anywhere, anytime. Since it is web
based, your faxes are available wherever you have Internet access
and these days that's just about everywhere. Plus, your old
faxes can be stored online or on your computer, so you can access
them at any time, whether it is yesterday's fax or one from last
month.

3. Security

Internet faxing is more secure than the traditional way of
faxing. Your faxes can be sent encrypted over the web and only
you can access them. Unlike the old fax machine, where anyone can
read your faxes, online faxing does offer a great deal more
privacy.

4. Easy to Use

Sending a fax is as easy as sending an email. You simply attach
your fax as a TIFF or PDF file. Viewing your faxes is as easy as
reading any PDF file on your computer. Plus, all your old faxes
can be stored and ready for your use at any time.

5. Cost-Effective

Perhaps, one of the major reasons online faxing has become so
popular, is because of the low price. Internet faxing is much
cheaper than the old way of faxing - you don't need all that
paper, inks and toners which you have to constantly keep in stock
with a regular office machine. Plus, you don't need an extra
phone line since all your transactions take place over the
Internet. Online fax services are relatively inexpensive, monthly
plans run for around $4 to $15 a month, depending on your faxing
requirements. If your faxing is very minimum, you can get a
simple plan for around $20 a year.

Some of the major online fax providers are: eFax(r), MyFax,
RingCentral, TrustFax, Faxage, MetroFax, RapidFax, Send2Fax...
among others. Since this is an on-going business expense, it pays
to do your homework now before you sign-up so that you get the
right service to perfectly match your needs. It can result in
major savings, especially over the long haul.

Regardless of which service or plan you choose, perhaps another
underlying reason why Internet fax has become so popular has to
do with competitiveness. If your business or company depends on
faxing to bring in sales, to deliver orders, to attract new
clients, or just for quick business communication; then using a
faxing system that's available 24/7, no matter where you're
located does make any business more competitive than some one not
using this service. In this present business climate and in our
"dog-eat-dog" commercial environment; you do need every
advantage you can muster. Can you or your company afford NOT to
use online fax, that is the real question you have to ask?

It's your call!

Finding More About A Potential Expired Domain Buyer
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Expired Domain Secret
http://www.expireddomainsecret.com



Selling your expired domains to a potential buyer could be a very
tricky issue. Segregating a serious buyer from a casual one is
very difficult as you may deal and interact with hundreds of
them. Some of them may be very dedicated expired domain traders
who are looking for very good domains expired while a number of
others are not too serious in their buying intentions. In fact,
non-serious expired domain traders keep looking for their domain
names but never buy one. Finding a potential buyer is very
difficult when someone does not learn and master the techniques
of domain trading. Here are five important things that you must
remember before selling your stock of domain names:

1. Finding the location where your buyer lives could be a tough
task. Most of them are almost anonymous when they quote their
price. Most of them also send their messages through their email
ID's. Hence, you will need to know from which location your
prospective buyer is sending his or her e-mail. Make sure that
you are checking for clues about the origin of e-mails you
receive from the buyers. To find out the location from where you
are getting e-mails from, you can use tracking software to check
the origin of the mails. However, the sender can send e-mail from
a location that is entirely different from his or her place of
actual residence.

2. Most of the newbie or minor domain traders bid or buy domains
on their own. However, some traders solicit the professional help
of a broker or a lawyer while buying domain names. You will need
to know whether the buyer who is showing an interest in your
domain is using professional help. Such buyers could be very
choosy and methodic as they look for every detail about the
domain name, its origin, previous history, legal status and
registrar details.

3. Some expired domain traders make it a point to call their
buyer to talk to them about the domain and its price. When you
interact with a buyer through a telephone, you can make out if
they are really showing an interest in your domain. Their voice
and the confidence with which they talk can provide many clues.

4. Does the potential buyer ask for precise details about your
expired domains? If yes, he or she is sending a clear signal that
your expired domains are good enough for buying.

Whatever the case, never sell your domain names for a price that
you feel is very low for its perceived quality. If you are happy
with the price offer, you can definitely sell your domains almost
immediately. If possible request your buyer to chat with you
about the purchase; video chatting is possibly the best and the
safest way to sell your domain names. Once you strike a deal, you
can ask your buyer to deposit the money in an escrow account; an
escrow account can safeguard the deal for both of you with mutual
guarantees.

When It Comes to Business Names, Acronyms Are FUBAR
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Maybe you'll read the following sentence as it was intended, but
I sure didn't. It was the lead sentence in an article in my
local business journal:

"CA is a fundamentally different company than it was when I
arrived two years ago."

To me, "CA" means California, and that's how I read it. But
when I reached the end of that sentence, that obviously did not
make sense. Then I thought, "Must be a misprint - they left a
letter out - but what?" Only in the fourth paragraph of the
article did my bafflement clear up. "We simplified 'Computer
Associates' to 'CA' and brought the 'C' and 'A' on our
brand mark closer together."

"Oh my gosh, 'CA' is a company name?!" Too bad you couldn't
see the expression on my face.

This illustrates one of the problems in creating a company name
out of letters. With just about any combination of letters you
choose, the acronym is probably already in use somewhere. Indeed,
CA is also in use for Cocaine Anonymous, as well as an
abbreviation for Canada. On the web, a new company name
consisting of an acronym will be impossible for the average
person to get useful results for from a search engine.

According to the Web Directory All Acronyms, the letters NSA
stand for more than 100 different entities, including No Such
Agency. Incorporating an acronym as part of a longer name
doesn't resolve the issue of multiple meanings. For example, if
you named your company SME Services, thinking of "Small and
Medium-sized Enterprises," SME could still call up more than 60
other meanings in common usage, including Subject Matter
Expertise and Solid Metal Embrittlement.

Second, because acronyms have no self-evident meaning, they
require a very heavy investment of resources to become
recognizable and memorable as a company name. True, the
now-global fast-food company KFC has done well with its initials
by trading on its previous incarnation as Kentucky Fried Chicken.
But unless you're also serving more than a billion customers a
year with a marketing budget to match, that shouldn't encourage
you to follow their example.

And third, acronyms invite ridicule. There are scores of jokes
purporting to explain what the letters in IBM really mean:

  * I've Been Moved (because of the company's relocation policy)

  * I've Been Misled

  * It's a Broken Machine

  * Immoral Brand and Management

  * I Blame Mathematics

  * Idiots Became Managers

  * Imbecilic Bad Micros

  * Invented By Murphy

  * and on and on.

Perhaps because we dislike how we tend to be treated by
governmental and technical acronym-named organizations, many of
us find acronyms geeky and off-putting rather than cuddly and
comforting. "Acronyms tend to keep non-experts at arm's
length," wrote language critic Amy Gahran in 2003. For example,
"the original full name for RSS [which most people believe
stands for Really Simple Syndication] is 'RDF Site Summary' - a
nested acronym that requires two levels of decoding, and it gets
geekier at the second level," Gahran noted.

Most of the time, keeping people at arm's length is not a
desirable state of affairs or a goal for a new company name. So
ditch the acronyms.

By the way, in case you're wondering what "FUBAR" means, since
before World War Two it's been an American military expression
for the more vulgar version of "Fouled Up Beyond All
Recognition."

Tips For Building a Successful Long Distance Relationship

Article Description:
====================

From time to time, life will hand you a twist, and you will be
required to move from one place to another - this can be the
result of a job transfer, leaving home to attend college, or any
of a number of other reasons. When you move from one town to
another, it is not always possible to bring your partner with
you, and this sometimes leads to the formation of a long distance
relationship (LDR).

Tips For Building a Successful Long Distance Relationship
Copyright (c) 2009 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



From time to time, life will hand you a twist, and you will be
required to move from one place to another - this can be the
result of a job transfer, leaving home to attend college, or any
of a number of other reasons. When you move from one town to
another, it is not always possible to bring your partner with
you, and this sometimes leads to the formation of a long distance
relationship (LDR).

I have to be honest, it takes a very special set of people to
engage in the long distance relationship successfully and for a
lengthy amount of time. The weaker among us may work to keep the
facade, while at the same time looking for companionship closer
to home. I will be honest, I am not suited to the long distance
relationship, but I have known people who were able to do it
successfully over a number of years.

When you have a long distance relationship, it is always good to
maintain communication, whether it is through the phone, email or
any other possible means. It can be a bit straining and
expensive, but that is the only means that will keep the two of
you together. These days with Voice Over IP (VOIP) telephone
services, the cost of long distance phone services can be
drastically reduced, but these services require the user to keep
access to a high-speed internet access, in order to successfully
utilize the services.

Partners should also maintain a high level of honesty and respect
for each other. If you do not trust your partner, you will be
kept awake wondering whom they are with and whether they are
still faithful.

Do not ask your partner "who were you with?" or "what did you
do?" There is a difference between genuine interest and
suspicion, and the person whom you ask those questions can
usually distinguish between the two motives.

Insecurity will poison and ultimately kill any relationship.

If you find yourself straying, or simply do not love your partner
anymore, it is always best to come clean. Do not lie or pretend
that you are not going out with someone else. It may be seem more
convenient to hide the truth, but if you try, you are just
delaying the inevitable breakup.

When you decide to break the relationship, do not leave a message
on the answering machine.

Understand if your partner is unable to return your calls
immediately, or does not write that often. It may because of a
new lifestyle or a pressing job.

It also helps to tell your partner what you did, how you are
feeling and where you think the relationship is heading.

Make a habit of visiting each other when it is possible,
especially during holidays. This helps break the gap that the
distance is putting between you. Absence may make the heart grow
fonder, but presence gives it strength. The hellos may seem odd
and the goodbyes painful, but it gets easier with time.

Having supportive friends is also an added advantage. Some may
think it is an absolute waste of time to maintain a long distance
relationship, while others will respect you for trying to hold
the relationship together despite the distance.

A long distance relationship is just like any other relationship
- the only difference is that you will have to work a little bit
harder to stay together. If there is no reason to break up, head
on.

Keep in mind that nothing comes in life comes on a silver
platter. Relationships like anything else in life requires work
to be successful. If you are committed to your significant other
and him or her to you, then the long distance relationship is not
a bad thing. My brother was involved in a long-distance
relationship for more than four years, while he and his current
wife were working their way through college. It worked out well
in his case, and it could work out well in your case also.

If you find yourself involved in a long distance relationship,
you should use this article as a guide to help your relationship
be successful in the end. You never really know what cards life
is going to deal to you, so invest in what is important to you,
and find the fulfillment you have always wanted to find in your
own life.

Pitching Hot Stuff Derek Lowe
Copyright (c) 2009 Lynda Belcher
Click it Ticket
http://www.clickitticket.com/



As a bonafide Atlanta Braves fan, let me just say that I don't
easily excite over specific players. The whole game is so diluted
with the comings and goings of various players, it's hard
sometimes to keep up with who is on what team this season.

I mean, you know the drill, you get Chicago Cubs tickets in hopes
of seeing your favorite players in action and poof, you didn't
notice in the off-season half the team was traded to the St.
Louis Cardinals or some other team you don't like.

In fact, if you are like me and don't pay attention in the super
short off-season or spring training, you miss it all.

Therefore, I spend my time rooting for the team instead of
individual players to keep myself from being attached to any one
person. Then, my heart isn't broken when they end up elsewhere
the next season.

But, I broke my rule. I am completely hyped up about Derek Lowe
this season. What's worse is that he's a freakin' free agent,
which means at the end of his four-year tenure with my beloved
Braves, he could be headed for dustier diamonds elsewhere.

But for now, I (and every other female Braves fan out there)
think this guy is hot!

Not just in a general, rugged sense, but his record this season
already speaks for itself. On Opening Day, he pitched eight
innings of two-hit ball against the Phillies and last week, he
pitched into the seventh inning against the New York Mets.

Ok, so he wasn't necessarily hot stuff taking on the Marlins,
but he has won his past four starts and beat both Cincinnati and
Houston, which puts him at 3-1 against NL East and 2-0 against NL
Central. Perhaps that sweet $60 million contract has put a little
extra oomph behind some of his pitches, to the delight of this
Atlanta Braves fan.

For a while, I actually wasn't a fan of Lowe. After all, his
personal life is tabloid fodder after he left his wife for a
Dodgers broadcaster (I mean, of all of the chicks you could
choose from, a freakin' Dodgers broadcaster?!).

I also wasn't too fond of a stunt he pulled when he signed on
with the Dodgers. He left the Red Sox (who wouldn't have wanted
a better gig than Boston?) for L.A. in 2005. However, since that
was the year the Red Sox actually managed to get out from that
curse, even after actually starting for the Dodgers, Lowe showed
up to the World Series ring ceremony in his Red Sox
uniform...sooo not cool. Not a great way to make an impression on
your new fans.

However, all that's water under the bridge as I look forward to
watching Lowe take my Braves to new heights this season with that
arm of his.

I have great faith since, according to the Braves site, he is one
of maybe three other people in the entire league who have managed
to play for at least 12 seasons without one getting on the
disabled list, which is uber impressive for a pitcher.

His record last year speaks for itself, as he finished 14-11 for
the seventh year in a row, with at least 12 victories. His skills
are phenomenal and I am looking to see him help my Braves clinch
it this year for the MLB National League's Eastern Division.

Supercharge Your Internet Marketing Using the Improved Google Keyword Tool
Copyright (c) 2009 Paul Marshall
Strategic Web Marketing Net
http://strategicwebmarketing.net/



As an Internet Marketing Consultant, I know that whether using
pay-per-click (PPC) or organic search engine optimization (SEO),
the process begins with our research keyword.

This is true whether you're doing your work yourself or working
with an SEO Consultant.

The search engine ranking for our chosen keywords consumes us,
causing ecstasy when we succeed and sleepless nights when we
fail.

But increased sales happen only IF:

  * the keywords bring enough traffic to meet our sales goals;

  * the competition in SEO is obtainable (and)

  * the keywords will actually convert -- they will actually
result in increased sales.

Otherwise, it's really wasted time.

And now that Google shows an estimated number of average monthly
impressions (instead of just the old green bar), the Google tool
can really help with your keyword research.

And it's Free!

If you don't have an AdWords account, you can access the tool
independently (just Google: Google Keyword Research Tool).

Grabbing the Best Keywords for your Website Using Google's
Keyword Research Tool

Step 1 -- Put your keyword phrase or root keyword into the tool.
I suggest one phrase at a time, 1-4 words in length. Click: Get
Keyword ideas and wait for the results.

Another option is to click Website Content and let Google pull
suggestions from your website content.

Step 2 -- IMPORTANT, change the Match Type to Phrase, which adds
quotes to the keyword results. This makes the tool's impressions
more closely match organic search, ignoring the "loosey-goosey"
broad match phrases for AdWords.

And under the Show/Hide Columns make sure your settings display
Approx Avg Search Volume. (If you're marketing a seasonal
product or service you might change to a different setting.)

Step 3 -- Analyze the results. What we're all trying to find is
the low hanging fruit: the best balance of traffic volume, ease
to perform SEO and traffic that will likely convert.

I suggest targeting phrases that are at least 5,000 to 10,000
monthly average impressions. Conversely, keyword phrases with
very high monthly impressions may prove too competitive in
organic search. Find the best balance for your organic
optimization skills and for your industry.

If your sales goals require 200,000 monthly organic impressions
and you choose keyword search phrases with between 5,000 and
10,000 monthly impressions each, then you'll need between 20 to
40 keyword phrases to deliver you that 200,000 monthly
impressions.

Of course, as you discover opportune phrases that are offer
greater monthly impressions and that you're comfortable
optimizing for, that will lower the number of phrases needed to
reach your monthly goal.

Make your keyword list from this criteria. I like to copy and
paste into my email program.

And to determine the number of monthly impressions needed,
you'll need:

(1) good organic listing click-through rate data -- what
percentage of searchers will click on your listing? (and)

(2) conversion rate data either from your own website or for your
industry -- what percentage of your site visitors will BUY?

You will find an experienced Internet Marketing Consultant |
Coach who specializes in Keyword Research can help you formulate
a keyword list that will deliver BOTH the traffic and sales
conversions that you need.

Step 4 -- Evaluate the competing number of pages in organic
search from Google. Is this a number you're comfortable
optimizing for?

While you're on the SERPs looking over the search results, look
at the AdWords ads and the organic results.

Does your service or product sound like it belongs on this page,
for this keyword? Or, does it sound out of place?

And for a search phrase to be good, normally you'll want to see
several AdWords ads appearing for the search phrase.

Make your list from this criteria, setting aside any keyword
phrases from the previous step (at least for right now) where the
competition is too steep. Phrases that look good but with too
much competition, save for the future.

This brings up a good point: Keep good notes! Otherwise, you'll
come back for the next round of research and have to re-do
things. :-(

Step 5 -- Evaluate the phrases still on your list for their
likely commercial intention using the Microsoft Online Commercial
Intention Tool (Google it).

If you're using an SEO Consultant, make sure they use this tool
and evaluate commercial intent for the keywords you are
considering.

Now, this is a Microsoft tool...I use it and am glad for the
data, but I don't make decisions about any keyword phrase off
data from just one tool or from just one step in my process.

Having said that, I wouldn't select 15 phrases for optimization
where each of them shows there's not commercial intent.

Keep your list of phrases that still meet your criteria and move
onto the next step.

Step 6 -- Evaluate your remaining list in Google's Traffic
Estimator. What I look for is the relationship of average monthly
impressions to estimated daily click throughs in AdWords. Do they
make sense and suggest commercial intention?

If one phrase has twice the monthly impressions, but only 1/2 the
daily AdWords clicks, something may be wrong. You may want to
look closer.

The goal isn't just traffic, it's traffic that converts --
buys, sign up to your email list, calls or emails your company
and becomes a sales lead, etc.

When you complete these steps, you should have whittled your
initial keyword list down to the "lowest hanging fruit", the
most opportune phrases (easiest to rank well in) COMBINED with
the largest amount of quality traffic, COMBINED with traffic that
should convert.

The Windows Into Your Website

Keywords are the windows into your website. If you target the
wrong ones for your business, you won't have the traffic,
Internet sales or sales leads that you need.

If you're using an SEO Consultant to perform your work, make
sure they do it the correct way -- not the lazy way -- and
oversee their work. Your site, your responsibility!

If you're doing d-i-y Keyword Research, be really educated about
what you're doing OR your d-i-y effort could cost you more than
hiring a qualified company.

NOTE: Another option available from some Internet Marketing
Consultants today for those watching their budget is to offering
Coaching services. This is sort of a hybrid between the retail
price, full-service option and the go-it-alone, time consuming
do-it-yourself option.

Achieving the search engine ranking for your chosen keywords
doesn't have to be difficult or expensive if you follow my
formula. And if performed correctly, the end results will be
keywords that work for your business.

Can Debtors Afford Bankruptcy? Finding Low-Cost, Cheap Bankruptcy

Article Description:
====================

It seems there is today in these current hard national economic
times, palpably one ominous additional burden for the average
heavily indebted American consumer who, perhaps, sees his or her
only recourse for some relief from his crushing debt as lying in
filing bankruptcy: the cost for bankruptcy, and finding cheap,
low-cost bankruptcy that debtor can afford. This often mean, in
essence, finding pro se or non lawyer bankruptcy alternative. The
bankruptcy lawyers' current fees for bankruptcy are so high
they've been said by one expert to have "priced the average
debtor out of bankruptcy." In deed, according to some bankruptcy
experts, many of whom are themselves bankruptcy lawyers, though a
new record of some 1.1 million debtors filed for bankruptcy in
2008, yet another set of debtors of equal size qualify for and
seek to file for bankruptcy, but can't do so merely for the fact
that they cannot afford to pay the lawyers fees. Consequently,
affordability of bankruptcy cost constitutes the most critical
impediments today to being able to file for bankruptcy for the
average debtor seeking to file bankruptcy.

Can Debtors Afford Bankruptcy? Finding Low-Cost, Cheap Bankruptcy
Copyright (c) 2009 Benji O. Anosike
Afford Bankruptcy
http://www.Afford-Bankruptcy.com



It seems there is today in these current hard national economic
times, palpably one ominous additional burden for the average
heavily indebted American consumer who, perhaps, sees his or her
only recourse for some relief from his crushing debt as lying in
filing bankruptcy: the cost for bankruptcy, and finding cheap,
low-cost bankruptcy that debtor can afford. This often mean, in
essence, finding pro se or non lawyer bankruptcy alternative.

The latest figures just released by the Administrative Office of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts on the February 2009 bankruptcy
filings, made one vital reality crystal clear to almost every
one, namely, that the rate at which the increasingly overburdened
and restive American debtors (both individuals and businesses)
are filing for bankruptcy, is at its highest levels since the
now-famous (or infamous, many would say!) draconian changes of
2005 to the U.S. bankruptcy law. But, even more significantly,
that the new filing rate is ominously beginning to return to the
old "hated" high bankruptcy filing levels that the nation had
reached before that new law was passed in 2005, supposedly meant
to correct and drastically curtail or reverse the then
pre-existing high filing levels.

This latest trend in American debtor bankruptcy filings strongly
underscores a few fundamental points, among others. First, the
depth and gravity of the financial straights and difficulties in
which the average American consumer and debtor is in today.
Second, the reality that, no matter how difficult a legal hurdle
and impediment the institutional powers that be (the Congress,
the lawyers, or the financial institutions, the courts, etc) may
try to place on the path of the American debtors to try
discouraging or making it more difficult for them in seeking the
bankruptcy relief from their debt burdens, when it really comes
time of dire financial and economic crunch, Americans will
somehow still find a way, and will still persevere and persist
even against all odds, in demanding their constitutional rights
to be heard in bankruptcy; and thirdly, the critical necessity,
for the average debtor, for finding low-cost bankruptcy filing
alternatives to lawyer.

Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard Law School professor and author of
several books on bankruptcy, probably sums up the point best this
way, alluding to the persuasion of the Congress by various
special interests to pass the 2005 law that restricted debtors
from filing for bankruptcy: "The credit industry [and other
vested interests] did its best to drive up the cost of filing
[for bankruptcy]. But when families are in enough trouble, they
will fight their way through the paper ticket and higher
attorneys' fees to get help," adding that "The word is now
leaking out [once again] that the bankruptcy courts are open for
business."

THE "UNOFFICIALLY BANKRUPT DEBTORS" - DEBTORS WHO CAN'T FILE
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT

But, even most importantly than that, from the standpoint of the
average bankruptcy-seeker today, this raises one fundamental
questions, however. Namely, just how do the current growing army
of increasingly despairing American debtors who not only seek to
file for personal or business bankruptcy, but in a great deal of
cases, truly NEED to file one, AFFORD to file bankruptcy - in
particular, the high lawyers' legal cost of filing for
bankruptcy? How do these debtors get or find cheap, low-cost
bankruptcy? A bankruptcy that the debtors can reasonably afford?

Clearly, the cost for bankruptcy is gradually emerging as one of
the most critical impediments to being able to file for
bankruptcy for the average debtor seeking to file bankruptcy.
Some 1.1 million (1,064,000) American debtors filed for
bankruptcy this past 2008 year - filings which, many analysts are
quick to remind us, were carried out by these debtors in spite
of, and under tough conditions of, a whole host of stringent,
restrictive requirements and drastically increased legal fees
imposed by the 2005 law. But, even more significant, from the
stand point of the debtor or bankruptcy-seeker, is another
closely related FACT: that, worse still, according to experts,
THERE'S NEARLY AS MANY AMERICAN DEBTORS MORE who wanted to file
for bankruptcy and are eligible, but could not, because they
simply couldn't AFFORD the lawyers' legal fees. These are
debtors who Justin Harelik, a bankruptcy lawyer with Price Law in
Los Angeles, call the "unofficially bankrupt debtors" - debtors
who are all but bankrupt but only lack the lawyers' hefty price
to make their status official!

EVEN THE LAWYERS AGREE, THEIR BIG FEES IS A PROBLEM WITH DEBTORS

In deed, though many bankruptcy lawyers would rather that it be
shaded, many other lawyers, themselves, objectively acknowledge
that the lawyers' legal fees for bankruptcy is a principal
frequent issue and concern to debtors and clients in bankruptcy
law practice.

"You have to pay the Chapter 7 legal fees upfront in cash. You
can be too poor to go bankrupt," is how Professor Robert M.
Lawless of the University of Illinois College of Law once put it.

Another observer, Jenny C. McCune, a contributing editor at
Bankrate.com, notes that rather astoundingly, we've now come to
the point where a debtor may have to "finance bankruptcy
filing," adds: "It may sound like a Catch-22...you have no
money so you're filing for bankruptcy, but you need [legal fee]
money so you can file for bankruptcy."

Janathan Ginsburg, bankruptcy attorney, Atlanta, Ga., explains
that in phone conversations he often has with callers facing
severe financial crises who are pondering possible bankruptcy,
after their initial question which is often general in nature,
"The next question I get has to do with fees: 'If I have no
money, how am I supposed to pay for a lawyer?'"

BANKRUPTCY LAWYERS' ARGUMENTS FOR THEIR HIGH FEES

Bankruptcy lawyers, schooled in the art of argumentation and the
defense of even the clearly indefensible, particularly when it
centers on the protection of a lucrative means of making a
living, would often plunge into what, in essence, are really deep
philosophical arguments in justification of the high fees they
charge - it is really still a "bargain" for debtors, some
argue, considering the much larger sums they stand to discharge
in bankruptcy; if a debtor is "really" hard pressed enough by
his debt burden and is "serious" about freeing himself of it,
he'll somehow find a way; a debtor, if he is really "serious,"
can always find the lawyer's fees somewhere by, say, withholding
the payments he would have had to make to other creditors and
then using it to pay the lawyer to free him of the bigger debt
burden, etc., etc. It is a complex web of arguments that would
have to wait for another day to address. But, for our current
immediate purposes in this article, the relevant issue is crystal
clear. The point, clearly, is that for the average American
debtor today, already reeling from the high debt burden which is
the prime object he's out attempting to address through
bankruptcy filing, the average lawyer's fee for bankruptcy (some
$2,000 or more for the simplest Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and $4,500+
for its Chapter 13 counterpart) is high, in deed even exorbitant,
and frequently is just plain beyond his means - in short, simply
UNAFFORDABLE.

LAWYERS' FEES HAVE PRICED OUT A LOT OF DEBTORS

Seems that the bankruptcy lawyers, through greed and monopolistic
instinct, are gradually pricing themselves out of the personal
bankruptcy filing business, that the only realistic alternative
now left to the tried, seems to be a low cost, cheap non lawyer
bankruptcy that debtors can reasonably afford.

"Surveys have shown that many attorneys have doubled their fees
to cope with new requirements imposed by the BAPCPA of 2005. Many
thousands of debtors have therefore been priced out of lawyer
representation in their bankruptcies," asserts Stephen Elias, a
California attorney and bankruptcy specialist and author of
several books on the subject. "Because of rules governing the
practice of law, the only legal alternative to attorney
representation is self representation... bankruptcy petition
preparers can assist with your paperwork."

The point, then, is crystal clear. The fundamental task at hand
this very minute in the field of bankruptcy, is devising a
credible system that is low-cost for filing bankruptcy, which is
simple, straighforwards, and readily accessible, and is, above
all, AFFORDABLE to most debtors who legitimately seek or need
bankruptcy and are qualified and eligible to file under the
eligibility rules. It is, after all, no "gift" or some kind of
"favor" being meted out by "the law," or some kind of
mercy-peddling do-gooders of the legal establishment. But, a
direct sacred right and gift of the American Constitution.

It is a task which confronts us all, particularly the bankruptcy
constituency and the bankruptcy industry powers-that-be who
control the current bankruptcy system - the financial and credit
industry, the courts, the Congress, but including private
entrepreneurs and ideas persons who can come up with new or fresh
ideas about how to fix the current broken personal bankruptcy
system, and yes, the current bankruptcy lawyers and bar, and
others.

But, of more immediacy and urgency in the mean time, however,
while we await such a new system to be designed by the
responsible parties, qualified American entrepreneurs,
institutions and entities who are able, should be free to come up
with practical and effective ways and methods - alternatives to
the current wholly deficient and inadequate lawyer-controlled
bankruptcy system - that actually enable legitimate bankruptcy
seekers to exercise their legitimate constitutional right to seek
the bankruptcy relief option when and if necessary - simply,
accessibly, and AFFORDABLY. In sum, America, both the public as
well as private sector, must fast prepare for, devise, and
implement, a drastically different but effective bankruptcy
filing system that provides the current million plus per year and
the upcoming additional millions of bankruptcy filers who will be
coming into the bankruptcy filing pipeline per year, a genuinely
affordable means for them to file for bankruptcy - the 1.4
million American filers (or more) that are expected to seek the
bankruptcy relief in 2009 calendar year alone, and beyond.

Benji O. Anosike, Ph.D., has been dubbed by experts and reviewers
of his many books, manuals and body of work, which dwell largely
on self-help law issues, as "the man who almost literally wrote
the book on the use of self-help law methods" for America's
consumers in doing their own routine legal chores - in
uncontested divorce, will-making, simple probate, settlement of a
dead person's estate, simple no-asset bankruptcy, etc. A pioneer
and intellectual and moral leader of the 1970s-based "you do your
own law" movement and a lifelong vehement advocate and veteran of
historical battles for the right of the American consumers to
perform their own tasks in the area of routine legal matters,
Anosike was one of the pioneers who fought and survived (along
with many others of courage) the lawyers' and organized bar's
stiff war of the 1970s and '80s against American consumers and
entrepreneurs who merely sought, then, to use, write, distribute
or sell law-related self-help books and kits for non-lawyers to
do their own law, upon the lawyers' claim then that such was
purportedly "unauthorized practice of law" or "practicing law
without a license." Anosike holds graduate degrees in labor
economics and management and a Ph.D. in jurisprudence. Once
characterized by a review of the American Library Association's
Booklist Journal as "probably the most prolific author in the
field of legal self-help today," Dr Anosike is the author of
over 26 books and manuals (and countless number of articles) on
various topics of American law, including 4 volumes on personal
and business bankruptcy filing, in a lifetime of dedication. For

With the increasing demand of high quality content on the web,
finding original articles and carefully stylized content is a
priority for companies to retain credibility.   With today's
fierce search engine ranking competition, a steady supply of
original articles has become a necessity.  Websites need to be
designed to increase traffic, and sites updated regularly with
fresh information are more likely to receive higher search engine
placement than those updated less frequently.  As a result,
companies need to find sources of new and original content as
often as possible.  The challenge is finding human writers who
can provide original articles with the right tone, voice, and
quality that the company needs, and also at the right price.

Before the emergence of computer programs that could 'create'
articles and pieces of web content, human writers were
responsible for developing all the original content for websites.
  However, with the rise of blogs and websites for independent
publishers, several applications are now available that simply
churn out content made from a computer program. While these have
the potential to create several articles on a given topic, they
do have limitations.  Semantics, sentence structure, meaning, and
even punctuation are often overlooked with these content spinners
and programs, and if they are caught by a search engine, the risk
of website blacklisting runs high.

Human writers provide reliable, authentic, and original content
on a regular basis.  By making use of natural creative processes
to develop and present an idea, they can develop a series of
original articles for any website or company.

The Value of Authentic Content and Original Articles

All website and business owners know how valuable original
content is for search engine placement, website validity, and
credibility in their industry.  Without a steady supply of
original articles, it is difficult to keep visitors returning to
the site and maintaining interest in the company.  The increasing
popularity of blogs is just one example of why 'content is
king' still rings true on the web today.  Human writers can
develop articles and unique ideas far better than any computer
software and application.  Unfortunately, many companies choose
applications that lead to poor quality content and a decrease in
their credibility.

What Content Creating Software Does

Content creation software is designed to string words and
sentences based on a topic and basic article.  These programs run
several variations of an article by substituting synonyms and
words throughout the page, and reconstructing sentences to
generate a 'new' or original article.  Today's leading content
duplication and content creation software programs include:
Article Content Spinner, Jetspinner, SiteEqualizer, ArticlePro,
and Article Output.

While these article and content spinner programs offer many
promises of 'well-written' article and original content, they
are not always accurate enough to catch duplicate sentences, and
they often have trouble even putting together sentences that make
sense.  In many cases, their processes are considered to be forms
of copyright theft, especially if the original article used as
the input was not generated by the owner.  Search engines that
can find even one sentence duplicated from an article can bar the
website from being listed on the rankings, and a single sentence
'stolen' in this way is at risk for copyright infringement.

Why Companies Need to Pursue Quality Human Writers

Google is the leading search engine on the internet, and
specifically outlines its duplicate content policy in the user
terms.  Article spinners that help generate 'original articles'
can create significant damage to a company's page ranking and
credibility online, putting them at risk for copyright
infringement and other penalties.  Submitting just a single
article to an article directory can be shared across multiple web
pages and websites, but using a content spinner to create
'fresh' content from this very same article puts all of the
content at risk.

Article marketing has become an industry in itself, but finding
high quality human writers is the most efficient, and safe,
method of generating valid clicks and increasing visitors to the
site.  Human writers can provide benefits beyond the limitations
of article content creation services.  These include completely
original article batches, clear and consistent messages, an
author's voice, powerful words and phrases that are easy to read
by all visitors, and simply and efficiently provide unique and
creative ideas in an original format.  Human writers can often
provide a fresh perspective on a topic or idea, something that
cannot be achieved with automated article writing software
packages.

The 5 Steps To Clearing Up Razor Bumps
Copyright (c) 2009 Sean A. Jackson
Your Best Look Now
http://www.yourbestlooknow.com/



With summer quickly approaching, more people will be shedding
their winter clothes in favor of clothes that expose more skin.
What better time to start clearing up those skin problems than
now.

For black men and women, razor bumps is probably one the most
unsightly skin problems that exist. Razor bumps can be
embarrassing in a job interview by drawing attention to your skin
rather than your credentials.

Also, women who suffer from razor bumps are often embarrassed by
wearing bathing suits in public.

It is estimated that 60% of the black men in America suffer from
razor bumps. Yet, despite the prevalence of this skin condition,
it is easily treatable.

Here are five simple steps that will help clear up your razor
bumps and prepare your skin for the summer:

Step 1 - Read The Labels Of What You Are Putting On Your Skin

Most men who shave with a razor and women as well, use shaving
foams that contain some form of alcohol. Products that contain
alcohol will dry out your skin. Dry skin is the main culprit of
causing black people to get razor bumps. Consider using oil based
shaving oils or creams.

Step 2 - Wash The Area You Are Planning To Shave

Resist the urge to immediately shave your face, legs, or pubic
area without first washing the area. You never know what could be
on your skin after being at work all day or sleeping on your bed
all night. Use a gentle cleaner so as not to dry out your skin,
but rinse away any bacteria or fungus.

Step 3 - Learn How To Shave The Right Way

When using a razor, use cold water to rinse in between strokes.
Hot water will warp your blade which can bump up your skin faster
than you can say ouch! Men should shave with the grain of the
hairs and not against the grain. Since the neck hair grows in a
different direction, change direction of the strokes when you
shave your neck.

Step 4 - Skip The After Shave

If you were James Bond or Magnum P.I., I would recommend using
the alcohol based after shave products. However , if your skin is
more like Denzel Washington or Sidney Poitier, you will need to
play to it’s strengths. I recommend using a daily moisturizer
that will also prevent break outs and is alcohol free.

Step 5 - Stop Plucking Out Those Ingrown Hair

Plucking out ingrown hairs will cause your skin to bruise and
look even worse. As your skin heals, the ingrown hairs will
become exposed. This will allow you to gently remove the tip that
has poked back into your skin, thus healing the razor bumps.

It will take time to heal your skin. However, if you use the
above steps you will begin to treat your skin better and with
time your skin will look great for any season!

Why Chicago is a Classic Sports Town
Copyright (c) 2009 Ryan Hogan
Click It Ticket
http://www.clickitticket.com/



Chicago is one of the best sports towns in America. Not only do
they have knowledgeable and passionate fans but they also have
some of the oldest franchises and some of the most hallowed
playing fields in all of sports.

Chicago is home to several professional, semi-professional, and
collegiate sports teams as well as several world-class sporting
events. It's no surprise that a city as large as Chicago has
five teams competing in the four premiere North American
professional sports leagues.

The "Monster of the Midway," the Chicago Bears, play at
venerated Soldier Field. Known as the "Da Bears," this charter
member of the NFL has produced a plethora of footballs legends.
Hall of Famers Bronko Nagurski, Red Grange, Gale Sayers, Dick
Butkus, Walter Payton and Mike Singletary have all played for the
Bears.

In 1985, the Bears dominated the league on their way to winning
Super Bowl XX. They also showed the world how well they could
sing and dance by releasing the song, and subsequent video, "The
Super Bowl Shuffle."

The city of Chicago is fortunate enough to have two baseball
teams, both over one-hundred years old, that play in the Major
Leagues. The Chicago White Sox play at US Cellular Field and have
won three World Series, the last one coming in 2005.

The White Sox have some great nicknames, "the South Siders",
"the Pale Hose" and "the ChiSox."

The "North Siders," or the Chicago Cubs, are probably the most
popular team in not only the Major Leagues but in all of sports.
The Cubs play in one of the shinning cathedrals of American
sports, Wrigley Field. The Cubbies have been playing ball since
1876 and are a charter member of the National League.

Adding to the team's charm is their over 100-year title drought,
the longest of any major North American professional sports team.
The Cubs are the quintessential lovable losers.

The Chicago Bulls won six NBA titles in the 1990's thanks to the
skill and leadership of greatest basketball player of all time,
Michael Jordan. That team was coached by Phil Jackson and also
featured all-star forward Scottie Pippen. The Bulls haven't
fared well since "MJ" retired, but they are still one of the
NBA's premiere franchises.

What the Cubs are to the National League, the Chicago Blackhawks
are to the National Hockey League. The Blackhawks were founded in
1926 and are one of the "Original Six" NHL teams. In their
storied history, they've won three Stanley Cup Championships and
13 division championships. They last hoisted the cup in 1961.

Both the Bulls and the Blackhawks play at the United Center. That
building opened in 1994 and replaced the legendary "Madhouse On
Madison," Chicago Stadium. On the east side of the United Center
you'll find a statue of Michael Jordan.

That's enough teams to make any town happy, but the City Of
Broad Shoulders has even more to offer sports fans.

The Chicago Sky of the Women's National Basketball Association
plays at the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion. That's
a mouth full so most people just call the 6,900 seat arena the
UIC Pavilion.

Most WNBA teams utilize the same colors and the same nickname,
although it's generally feminized, as their NBA counterpart.
However, the Sky are not associated with the Bulls whatsoever.
Makes sense, it's probably not a good idea to call a women's
pro-team the "Cows."

Toyota Park, located in nearby Bridgeview, Illinois, just 13
miles from the Chicago Loop, is home to the Chicago Fire of Major
League Soccer. Incidentally, the Fire were founded on the
anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

The Fire franchise experienced immediate success winning both the
MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup in their inaugural year of 1998.
Since then they have won three more U.S. Open Cups.

At Allstate Arena you'll find the Chicago Wolves of the American
Hockey League, they are an affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers.
The Rush, an Arena Football League team, also plays there. One of
the team's owners is Chicago legend Mike Ditka, he coached the
Bears to victory in Super Bowl XX.

Chicago has two rugby teams, the Lions RFC and their rivals
Griffins RFC. The Lions play on the campus of Northeastern
Illinois and the Griffins play at Schiller Woods in Schiller
Park, about 12 miles away from downtown Chicago. By the way, the
Twinkie was invented in Schiller Park.

The Sports Complex at Judson University, located in nearby Elgin,
Illinois, is home to the Chicago Bandits, a professional women's
softball team. They play in a league called National Pro
Fastpitch or NPF.

The Chicago Force of the Independent Women's Football League
plays tackle football at the Holmgren Athletic Complex located at
North Park University. Most of their games kick off at 3pm.

Bank of America's Chicago Marathon is one of the running
world's five major marathons. It's flat and fast course draws
runners from far and wide while its prize money lures the
world's elite long distance runners. The race generally takes
place in early October with first-come-first-served registration
beginning in February.

Auto racing can be found just an hour away from downtown Chicago.
The Chicagoland Speedway is a 1.5 mile track that hosts both
IndyCar events and NASCAR events including the Sprint,
Nationwide, and Truck series. The speedway opened in 2001 and has
a capacity of 75,000.

As you can see, Chicago is a sports fans' paradise. If the sport
has a ball, puck, or if it's on wheels, it's being played, or
raced, in the Windy City. While the Cubs and the Bears get most
of the headlines, the city of Chicago has enough passion to
support all their teams. Chicago is the classic American sports
town.

Winning The Bet: I Have Your Name Tattooed On My...
Copyright (c) 2009 Cesar Jantz
Nuviderm

In college, my roommate Rick used to win bar bets by walking up
to strangers at the bar and saying, "Hey, I bet you fifty bucks
that I have your name tattooed on my (backside)." The strangers
would almost always take the bet, part because it seemed like an
easy bet from a drunk and part because they were a bit tipsy
themselves. But every taker would always lose after Rick would
pull down to expose his left cheek and the words 'your name'
burned into his skin.

We paid for plenty of bar tabs thanks to his tattoo, but as he
got older, 'your name' warped into a jumbled mess of
indecipherable letters; even after years of enjoying his mark,
Rick joined so many others in regretting his tattoo.

Tattoos are a powerful form of self expression and one of a young
adult's ultimate feats in rebellion. Many people seek out
tattoos because they want to feel unique, or wish to revolt from
paternal objections, or maybe they want to document an important
life experience on their skin. Either way, tattoos are a bold
statement on your body that, while maybe a significant symbol for
yourself at the time, more often than not, can come back to haunt
you.

By now, we are all well acquainted with 18-year old Kimberley
Vlaeminck of Belgium and her 56-piece facial art display. Lying
to the news and her family just to dodge the anger of a
disapproving father is definitely not something she planned on
having to do when she walked into that tattoo parlor to get what
she told the media was "only three stars".
(http://itn.co.uk/8080a47397dab3b36c56ed5dec817f4e.html)

Even though Kimberley secretly liked her face art, many people
who get such extravagant works done on their bodies live to
regret it. Even celebrities have laments thanks to tattoos.

Heroes star, Hayden Panettiere has the words "Vivere senza
rimipianti" down the left side of her body, which is supposed to
mean "to live without regrets" in Italian. Ironically, the word
"rimipianti" is meant to be spelled "rimpianti" without the
extra "i." This is just another good argument for people to not
get foreign words imprinted on their bodies without fully knowing
what they are putting on there in the first place.

A study done through Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center
in 2006 showed that while about twenty percent of people who get
tattoos are unhappy with their body art, only six percent ever
seek to get them removed. (http://tinyurl.com/6zf6wt)

Several reasons for their tattoo removals ranged from new jobs
that conflicted with their appearances, social embarrassment, or
lowered body image.

However on the other side, laser tattoo removals can be very
costly, which is part why most people do not have it done. Laser
tattoo removal treatments usually range from two hundred to nine
hundred dollars per visit and it generally takes several visits
to a specialist before the ink really begins to fade away.

Even after the tattoo is gone, some people still retain remnants
of the shape of the tattoo in a scar.

So before you decide to ink your skin, plan out what you want
seared onto your body. Is it something really meaningful? Is it
something you won't mind seeing for years to come? And will it
help you win bar bets? If you can at least answer the last one
with a yes, then maybe it might be worth 56 stars after all...

Cesar Jantz is a freelance writer, who frequently enjoys a good
hearty laugh. But getting a tattoo removed is no laughing matter.
When it comes to removing tattoos, most people think about laser
tattoo removal treatments, but the Nuviderm Home Tattoo Removal
System has been medically tested and proven to fade and/or remove
tattoos. Nuviderm is a clear liquid, not a cream, and contains
no Hydroquinone, a skin bleaching chemical found in most Tattoo
Removal Cream products. Learn more at: http://nuviderm.com/

My Night on the Town
Copyright (c) 2009 Ryan Hogan
Philadelphia Smarts
http://www.philadelphiasmarts.com/



It's just after 3 a.m. when you sidle up to the counter at
Geno's Streaks, located at the intersection of 9th Street and
Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia.

"One wiz with," you order.

That means one cheesesteak with cheese wiz and fried onions. You
have to order quickly because there's always a line at Geno's.
There's always a line at Pat's King of Steaks too. That famous
cheesesteak eatery is located on the south corner of this
intersection.

That's right, the two best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia (as well
as the world) are located at the same intersection. Tonight you
picked Geno's because the coin came up heads. Next time you'll
try Pat's or maybe both.

Even though it's early in the morning you were in desperate need
of a late night snack. After all, you just spent the entire
evening (and some of the morning) exploring everything there is
to do at night in Philadelphia.

Well, not everything. The City Of Brotherly Love offers so many
options for night time fun - from cocktails to live music, from
neighborhood bars to bowling alleys - that's there's no way you
could see and do everything in just one evening (and some of the
morning).

Besides its vast selection, Philadelphia also offers convenient.
Depending on the area you choose, you can spend the entire
evening in one neighborhood walking (hopefully not stumbling)
from one hot spot to the next.

For you, this particular night started with dinner at a daring
and dashing restaurant called 10 Arts. Located inside the
Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia Hotel, at the corner of Broad and
Chestnut Streets, the elegant 10 Arts is the product of
world-renowned Chef Eric Riper.

The cuisine is American and the atmosphere is urbane, especially
with its beautifully white-marble architecture. While it's an
expensive restaurant they are sensitive to their patrons'
pocketbooks and this down economy. Monday through Wednesday if
the stock market is up, 10 Arts will help you celebrate with 25
percent off their appetizers. If the market is down, they will
help you drown your sorrows with 25 percent off their drinks.

After dining at 10 Arts, you and your party shuffled over to the
World Café Live on 3025 Walnut Street. There you listened to
great live music in their 300-seat bistro-style music hall.

The atmosphere was bright, cheerful and the café's metropolitan
flair was conducive for both appetizers and drinks. Of course you
were still full from your 10 Arts experience so you just had a
cocktail or three.

After the World Café Live it was off to Johnny Brenda's. This
famous Philly night spot is positioned at 1201 Frankford Avenue.
While large, it's not quite as big as the World Café, Johnny
Brenda's seats only 250 music lovers. Live bands, mostly from
the indie scene, rock this joint five nights a week.

The menu at Johnny Brenda's is written on a chalkboard because
it changes several times throughout the course of the day. You
were in luck during your visit and were able to order their
grilled octopus. It's definitely a must try dish.

Listening to all that music made your and friends quite thirsty,
so you all decided to do a little bar hopping. Your first
destination was Bob and Barbara's. Located on 1509 South Street,
B&B is the perfect dive bar.

You can enjoy beer or a cocktail at Bob and Barbara's while
listening to live music. Everything is played on their stage,
from funk to jazz, from rock to pop. Tonight you were in luck as
Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers were on hand playing their
self-described "liquor-drinking music."

The best part of Bob and Barbara's is their racially diverse,
gay and straight crowds. Everyone is welcome at this colorful
venue.

After tossing back a few, it was off to Grace Tavern. Located at
2229 Grays Ferry Avenue, this drinking establishment is one of
the best bars in Philadelphia.

This bar's ceiling and walls are decorated in sublime tin tile
giving the space a cozy and welcoming feel. Their kitchen is
opened until 2 a.m. but you're just here for one final drink,
that perfect pint of Guinness. After savoring every last drop,
and closing down the bar, you and your brood decide it's time
for a cheesesteak run.

As you're consuming your Geno's cheesesteak you realize that
you have yet to touch the surface of all the night time fun
Philadelphia has to offer. You plan right then and there that the
next time you go out you won't gallivant all over town (with the
services of a designated driver of course) but you'll stay in
one neighborhood.

For instance the Northern Liberties neighborhood, situated north
of Spring Garden Street to the south of Girard Avenue, is full of
restaurants, bars and taverns that attract active and artsy
crowds.

On North 3rd Street you'll find the popular bar and restaurant
called North Third. Their burgers are terrific and they have a
great fried calamari.

Bar Ferdinand is a hip tapas bar serving over 50 authentic
Spanish wines. Located on 1030 North Second Street, the always
enjoyable Ferdinand is both versatile and reasonably price.

It's 21,000 square feet of pure fun. North Bowl and its 17 lanes
are located at 909 North 2nd Street. Also in residence are two
full bars, an upstairs lounge with Italian sofas, pool tables and
an arcade. You might have to wait for a lane but it's worth it.

The Northern Liberties neighborhood also has dancing. Silk City,
5th and Arch Street, has been called "the hottest party in
town" by the New York Times. Often categorized as a
diner/restaurant/bar/nightclub hybrid, Silk City is a fun, cool
and safe place to go and boogie.

If you're seeking more sophistication, Ortlieb's Jazzhaus can
be found at 847 North 3rd Street. You'll find the city's best
jazz playing there nightly in this welcoming and accessible club.

Finally, there's the Good Dog Bar (224 South 15th Street). Since
its kitchen is open until 1am, this cozy bar is a great place to
end the evening. They're known far and wide for their
Roquefort-stuffed Good Dog burger.

Old City is another neighborhood destination for those looking
for some fun Philadelphia nightlife. This is the original
Philadelphia neighborhood and it lies south of Vine Street, north
of Pine Street, and east of 7th Street. For our purposes, we care
about 2nd and 3rd streets, as well as Chestnut, that's where
we'll find the bars, restaurants and all the happening night
spots.

One of Old City's most unique establishments is the Natural
Mechanics Bar and Restaurant located at 22 South 3rd Street. They
have more than 15 beers on draught and you can make-your-own
bloody Mary's.

Check out Natural Mechanics' "exotic" menu: corn dogs, grilled
cheese sandwiches and Campbell's tomato soup, and the "Frito
Taco Extravaganza." The "Extravaganza" is a split-open bag of
Frito's covered with chili and cheddar cheese.

If you're looking for live music visit 56 South 2nd Street.
That's where you'll find The Khyber, the destination for those
wishing to hear great live music from local and national artists.
This hip establishment dates all the way back to the 19th
century. If you don't see the bar when you first walk in don't
panic, it's upstairs.

If you need to sit down, have a beer, and maybe catch your
breath, visit Sugar Mom's at 225 Church Street. You can not only
smoke inside but they have tons of seating options.

West of Broad Street, between Girard Avenue and Spring Garden
Streets is the Fairmont area of Philadelphia. The Fairmont area
is home to several bars and restaurants, including the London
Grill, The Bishop's Collar and the Urban Saloon.

Located at 2301 Fairmount Avenue, the London Grill is a great
place to get a burger or an order of fish and chips. Their beer
selection is second to none featuring Flying Fish "Hopfish"
India Pale Ale, Stoudt's Willie Sutton Lager, and Victory Prima
Pilsner, just to name a few.

Finally, there are a few other places, outside of the
aforementioned neighborhoods, that you'll want to visit. The
Royal Tavern, on 937 East Passyunk Avenue, has great burgers,
buffalo chicken wings and a famous vegan sloppy Joe. A real home
town bar, the Royal also specializes in local brews like Victory,
Yards and Dogfish Head.

Tria, 1137 Spruce Street, is the place to go to for hard-to-find
cheeses and succulent wines (they also have craft beer). This
sophisticated bar doesn't serve mixed drinks and they don't
take reservation.

As you can see the city of Philadelphia is teeming with things to
do at night. Depending on your mood, you can spend the entire
evening (and some of the morning) exploring one neighborhood or
you can spend the entire night (and some of the morning) visiting
establishments spread throughout the city.

Regardless of whether you stick to just one neighborhood or you
traverse the city, you have at your disposal a wealth of night
time options: sophisticated pubs, groovy dance clubs, great beer
halls and neighborhood watering holes.

However, the absolute best part about going out at night in
Philadelphia is finishing your evening with a cheesesteak. After
all, Geno's and Pat's are always open.

How Any Internet Marketer Can Make 10,000 NEXT Weekend

Article Description:
====================

Lately, I hear from a LOT of struggling internet marketers. Many
of them are worried about paying next month's rent, or having
their electricity turned off. In other words, I hear from a lot
of internet marketers "with their backs against the wall." The
sad part is that if they've studied internet marketing for a
year or so, this is completely unnecessary.

How Any Internet Marketer Can Make 10,000 NEXT Weekend
Copyright (c) 2009 Willie Crawford
Willie Crawford Incorporated
http://WillieCrawford.com/ezine.html



Lately, I hear from a LOT of struggling internet marketers. Many
of them are worried about paying next month's rent, or having
their electricity turned off. In other words, I hear from a lot
of internet marketers "with their backs against the wall."

The sad part is that if they've studied internet marketing for a
year or so, this is completely unnecessary. They already possess
the knowledge to generate as much as $10,000 (or more) in a
single weekend. They just haven't learned to properly value and
market their know-how.

How does a struggling internet marketer go from zero to $10,000
in a single weekend? You CHANGE who you are marketing to.

Instead of trying to convince other internet marketers that they
need some $20 ebook, you market to people with money already
budgeted for expertise similar to yours.

The customers that I propose you market your internet expertise
to are local offline businesses. Many of the local businesses in
your area are struggling, and need your expertise, and are
willing to pay for it.

What am I proposing?

I'm suggesting that you put on a 1-day workshop where you TEACH
local businesses to use the internet to drive more paying
customers through their doors.

You charge a token fee of $100 - $200 (or more) to these local
businesses, so that they value what you are teaching, but that's
not where you cash in.

In your 1-day workshop, you teach these local businesses about
things such as search engine optimization, long-tail keywords,
and capturing the email addresses of their customers (and website
visitors) so that they have an easy way to follow-up with them.

You teach the local beauty parlor that, if they noticed Thursdays
are always slow, an easy way to fix that problem is to send out
an email on Wednesday to all of their customers, telling them
that if they come in on Thursday, they get a 10% discount. Then
you teach them how to capture their customers' contact data so
that they can easily contact ALL of their customers for free.

You explain the power of email to them as compared to say
newspaper or radio advertising where there is considerably more
preparation and lead time required. You teach them that email is
practically instant AND free.

You spend the day teaching these local businesses how to really
harness the power of the internet. You don't need to hold
anything back - you can teach them everything that you know.

At the end of the 1-day seminar (you can make it 2 days if you
prefer), you offer to do the things for them that you just taught
them how to do. You'll be pleasantly surprised when 90% of them
want you to do it for them (even though you just taught them how
to do it).

These local business people are too busy running the day to day
operations of their businesses to learn a whole new set of skill,
so they will pay YOU handsomely to do it for them.

Here's the secret, you "outsource" that work. You charge the
local businesses enough where you can pay someone else to do the
work and still end up with thousands of dollars from the weekend.

You funnel the work to talented people that you've met online or
find through sites such as Elance.com

It really is that simple and easy.

But what if you don't feel up to putting together a
presentation? You can get a complete seminar in a box, with
slides, script, handouts, everything you need, from several
places online.

In fact, I didn't write the presentation that I use when I put
on local workshops. I got the entire presentation at:
http://TeachingEcommerceToLocalBusinesses.com

That "seminar in a box" package is so complete that it even has
the ads you use to let local businesses know about the seminar.
It is so complete that you "could" just hand the slides and
script to an assistant and they could run the seminar for you.

I was so impresses with the completeness of that package, and how
easy it was to just take it and host a seminar for local
businesses, that I interviewed the two marketers who created that
package on my radio show. You are welcome to grab the transcript
of that show free. I entitled it "How to Make A Fortune Offering
Freelance Consulting To Local Offline Businesses" and you can
download it here: http://WillieCrawford.com/FreeTranscripts/

When hosting local seminars, you want to keep your costs low, so
you want to use a meeting room in a local hotel, high school, or
you can rent a meeting room very inexpensively from the local
Knights of Columbus or Shriners. Lots of local civic and
fraternal organizations have their own meeting place, and happily
rent them out. You can even get some of these organizations to
publicize your seminar for you :-)

Everything that you need to know about organizing a seminar for
local offline businesses is included in the package mentioned
above, and the free transcript shares a lot of great information
too.

With just a little preparation, and the decision to share your
expertise with the "right market" - business people who have
already set aside funds for growing their businesses, you
literally can earn $10,000 (or more) in a single weekend.

If you get into action now, you could literally do this next
weekend, although I'd allow a little more lead time.

This IS something that you can do!

Take a look at the resources mentioned above, flow out the event,
and then do it! You'll find yourself looking not only at your
city, but at other nearby cities. It's that lucrative, and that
much fun. You'll become a local celebrity, and a hero to local
businesses too.

in marketing. You want something that's catchy, appropriate,
appealing and distinctive. The tag line should say something that
encourages ideal customers to do business with you.

Be sure to generate a lot of possibilities, and eliminate any tag
line candidates where you are forced to answer "yes" to any of
the five questions below. While I'm illustrating these points
using U.S. state slogans (For instance, "Delaware: Small
Wonder"), the criteria apply as well to small businesses,
medium-sized companies, large corporations, solopreneurs,
ecommerce sites and nonprofit organizations anywhere in the
world.

Five Common Tag Line Blunders

1. Does it flunk the uniqueness test? A tag line needs to single
out your strengths. If your tag line could reasonably apply to
your competitors, it doesn't drill down deeply enough to what
makes you different. For example, which state would you match up
with "More Than You Can Imagine"? You'd have as good a chance
at getting this right by picking a state randomly as by trying to
guess according to its intended meaning. This is a tag line used
by Maryland, but it could equally apply to Nebraska, Idaho,
Michigan or any other state with an unglamorous reputation.

Consider also the similarity between South Carolina's slogan,
"Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places" and South Dakota's, "Great
Faces. Great Places." The word "faces" in South Dakota's tag
line probably refers to the presidential heads depicted on Mount
Rushmore, and "great" appropriately applies to them. But this
tag line is so close to South Carolina's wording that it's easy
to see the South Dakota marketers didn't bring out the unique
implications of those faces well enough in their tag line.

Some tag lines heavily suggest just one owner because of
recognizable associations. Because of the popularity of the
movie, The Wizard of Oz, for example, "There's No Place Like
Home" evokes Kansas much more than any other state.

2. Is there a questionable double meaning? Not one but two
slogans of Colorado become problematic because of this factor.
"Rocky Mountain High" and "Enter a Higher State" both use the
word "high" in a way that implies not only geographical
elevation but also (at least to many in the Baby Boomer
generation) marijuana intoxication.

Another state tag line with this weakness is "Oklahoma is OK."
To many people, "OK" implies "just OK," which is such faint
praise it lacks the power of invitation. Likewise, to someone who
believes the American Midwest is boring, Illinois's "Mile After
Magnificent Mile" evokes the idea of mile after mile after mile
of sameness.

3. Emotionally, is it a clunker? "Utah! Where Ideas Connect"
used to be that state's tourism slogan, and it's significant
that they inserted an exclamation mark to try to generate some
excitement, since the concept itself is flat and unemotional. A
tag line should convey positive energy rather than simply state
some facts.

Connecticut's slogan "Full of Surprises" doesn't score well
on uniqueness, but it does have emotional oomph. Ditto for
Maine's "The Way Life Should Be."

4. Does it have an inappropriate tone? "Say WA" (for Washington
State) is a prime example of a slogan that sounds like chalk
scratching on a blackboard to anyone older than a teenager.
Remember that people with nothing better to do than to hang out
at a street corner high-fiving their friends are not the logical
target of a tourism campaign.

"Live Free or Die," which appears on New Hampshire's license
plates, is a brilliant and highly emotional evocation of the
no-sales-tax state that epitomizes Yankee independence and
political autonomy. However, this slogan doesn't work well as a
lure for tourists. Normally it doesn't make a pleasant
impression to be reminding people of their mortality in the same
breath as saying "Come visit!"

5. Are you junking the previous tag line for the wrong reasons?
Simply being tired of it is the worst possible reason. Apparently
weariness is why in 1985, Governor Anthony Earl decided that
"America's Dairyland" would no longer do as Wisconsin's
slogan. Very often, politicians or tourism officials decide to
jettison something that's working, then spend a fortune hiring
brand consultants to come up with something their constituents
hate and that bombs in the marketplace. Don't you follow in
their footsteps!

Coming up with a tag line that passes all of these elimination
tests is not easy. If I had to select a winner from all the state
slogans I've looked at, I'd award first prize to Mississippi's
"The South's Warmest Welcome." Only a few other contenders
could claim this applied to them, and it's unquestionably and
strongly inviting. Second prize goes to Alaska's "Beyond Your
Dreams. Within Your Reach." In a positive way, this counteracts
the belief of so many in the other 49 states and abroad that they
might not easily have the opportunity to experience its charms.

Good luck with your own tag line and branding!

Why We Women Are Our Own Greatest Enemy When Dating

Article Description:
====================

I have learned that while there are women who want to be
committed to one man, there are some others who seek only
attention, gifts, dinners, movies etc, and still others who are
only interested in having a physical relationship. But all these
three categories cannot be used as a base to judge women and
their point of view about relationships only because, like I
said, "Women never know what they want." So read on and you
will know what I mean...

Why We Women Are Our Own Greatest Enemy When Dating
Copyright (c) 2009 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



It is rightly said, "Women never know what they want."

I begin by saying this because, I have learned that while there
are women who want to be committed to one man, there are some
others who seek only attention, gifts, dinners, movies etc, and
still others who are only interested in having a physical
relationship. But all these three categories cannot be used as a
base to judge women and their point of view about relationships
only because, like I said, "Women never know what they want."

So read on and you will know what I mean...

When I was in my twenties, I was once walking my little dog
"spark", and I noticed a man staring at me.

I ignored him and moved on.

He followed me, and without any waste of time, he introduced
himself to me.

As I kept talking to him, I found him to be very interesting and
I knew he was attracted to me too.

This went on for a couple of days, until one day he asked me out
to dinner. I did not even think twice as this was what I was
waiting for.

We went out that weekend for dinner, had a lovely time and I
promptly came back home that night. This went on for months. Our
relationship was growing, we were becoming more than just
friends, got closer emotionally and physically.

Then one evening, I casually asked him where did he think this
relationship was going.

He said he preferred not thinking about it.

It was a little disturbing. I mean, I was expecting him to say
something that put us on a committed path with one another.

When I asked him what he meant by that and why he did not want to
think ahead, he plainly said "because I am a man, and men don't
do that."

I was so puzzled. When everything was going so well, I felt like
our relationship was actually going somewhere. I wanted him to
meet my friends, wanted to have conversations about our future,
marriage, kids, our little home over-looking the park, a little
dog etc. And the more I thought about it, the more I felt, or
rather, the more I assumed he felt this way too. But I was
wrong...

This made me sad the first few days, then angry, then I reached a
phase where it did not bother me anymore, and finally I was
thinking it probably happened for the best and he was not meant
for me anyway.

It made me wonder how just a few weeks back I was dreaming of a
home, kids, and marriage and now I'm glad I'm alone and free
again.

Why is it so hard for us women to decide on one thing? Why do we
always want to put our feet into every shoe?

No wonder men find it so easy to move on and say, "there are
other fish in the sea".

Why does it take so long for women to figure that out? Why do
they wait for reality, or in this case, men, to brutally show it
to them?

There's no end to these questions, but there probably is only
one answer - "Women never know what they want".

How To Say No!
Copyright (c) 2009 Carol Chanel
Certified Life Coach
http://www.carolchanel.com/



"I meant to say NO." We've all have had the experience where
we meant to say no to someone. We knew it was going to be
difficult but we were determined this time. Then next thing you
know, we're saying yes. How did that happen? Why did that
happen?

Do you notice that the very people you mean to say no to, are the
ones who seem to draw the life energy out of you?

It reminds me of buying a car. You know how much the car costs,
how much you can spend, and the next thing you know the salesman
has worn you down and your energy is totally spent and you'll
say yes to anything just to get out of the dealership.

I don't mean to pick on car salesmen, there are great ones out
there who are very helpful and have your best interests at heart.

There are people who are trained to get their way. They will be
persistent and determined to get you to say yes.

I take my car to a local car wash and the man who writes up your
ticket is a master at getting people to buy the full works. You
know the $35 hand wash, hand wax, air freshner, etc. I actually
can't stand going there because I know each time I'll have to
be really strong and almost harsh to get him to back down. I just
want a regular wash and wax. Do you want the $8, the $4 or the $2
wax? Just put the wax on the car and let me out of here!!!

These people are what I call energy suckers and you're the
energy lollipop. What actually goes on?

How Do People Get Your Energy?

People learn, from a young age, how to control other people to
get their way. Here are some of the techniques they'll use:

  * Manipulation

  * Acting aloof by puling away in an attempt to have you chase
them

  * Money or gifts

  * Bullying techniques - verbal, emotional or physical

  * Hostility

  * Persistence

  * Crying or drama of some sort

  * Acting intellectually superior

How Do They Control You?

Whatever they do to control you, there's only one reason why it
happens.

You allow it.

You allow it because you tell yourself you need something from
these particular people. Like love, validation, acceptance,
approval, a job, a home, or something as simple as your car
washed.

Or you allow it because you don't want to be seen a certain way
- like harsh, uncooperative, unkind, not nice!

Remember, as women we were raised to be good girls, to be sweet
and helpful, not to be assertive, not to compete with each other
and at all costs not to create conflict.

How To Be Released From Their Control?

So whatever your reason, it will keep you from being firm. So
next time you need to say no, look to see what might keep you
from no. Then once you understand that reason, instead of trying
to get it from an outside source, give yourself the love,
validation or acceptance. Or let go of needing to be seen a
certain way.

When you give yourself what you need, you take your energy back.
Then you will release yourself from their control.

When you connect to an all-loving God (Divine Source) you will be
filled with love, light and joy. God is THE energy source.

Everything comes from God (Divine Source.) If you think that your
mother, brother, boyfriend, father, boss, teacher, or husband is
the source then you can be controlled. If you realize you receive
everything you need and want when you connect to God, then you
can freely have what you want. No cost. Yes to God, no to human
control.

Saying NO to others who want you to do something you don't want
to do, is saying YES to yourself.

The Cost of Not Saying No!

The impact of not saying no to others can be costly to your
health, relationships and your spirit.

So the next time your boss asks you to stay late when you have
dinner plans, choose yourself and go to dinner. The next time a
friend wants you to listen to her sob story, for the 10th time,
and it's your workout night, choose yourself and go workout. The
next time your boyfriend or spouse wants you to stay at home and
watch TV when you have plans to go to the movies with your
girlfriends, choose yourself and go to the movies.

You'll be training people how to treat you. You'll be taking
care of yourself. You'll be maintaining balance in your life.
You'll be building strong relationships.

Remember people are not your Source. Of anything. They may look
like it, but they're not. If you get fired for not working late,
then you'll get another job right away. If your friend gets mad
and doesn't want to talk to you, well sounds like you'll be
saving yourself from lots of drama. And if your boyfriend
doesn't like you going to the movies with your girlfriends, get
another boyfriend. There are plenty where he came from. God or
Divine Source will send you anything you need. Just ask and be
open to receiving it.

Choose to take care of yourself. Choose to be firm. Choose to say
NO to others. Choose to say YES to yourself. Choose the basic $15
car wash.

Imagine the possibilities....
