Upgrade From Access to SQL Server Today

2009-08-03T22:16:00.000-07:00

Many businesses today rely on the small database product from Microsoft called Access for much of their data management needs. Access is a great product, and is primary designed for small desktop applications. It's a great fit a variety of reasons. It comes with some versions of Microsoft Office, so it's easily on hand when the need for a database arises. Also, it's been designed in a way which makes it pretty easy to build some simple databases even for those who don't have any skills in actual database programming. It's also pretty easy to find local training courses to help beginners with the basics.

However, there are several major reasons why Access won't work in the semipermanent, assuming your business grows. And, since businesses either grow or die you'll likely be in this situation before too long. I'll highlight the biggest reason here.

Access is designed to be used for a small set of users, typically from one to twenty about. Beyond that it's recommend that you should move the database up to the actual database server called Microsoft SQL Server. This system is designed for high volumes of users. The difference between a desktop database product like Access and a database server product like Microsoft SQL Server is great. The former is built for only small jobs, the later for everything bigger.

Without upgrading performance can degrade pertinent of not being able to use the application. In fact it's pretty much required if you want to make any of your data available via the internet, as a web application will crash under the high numbers of users that websites can attract. The best advice is to move the database to SQL Server before you begin running into performance problems. Otherwise you're under the gun waiting for a problem.

Upgrading can often be difficult however, as the two products aren't seamlessly compatible. Microsoft has provided an "upsizing" wizard within Access. However, in real life use the built in wizard has its problems. It doesn't do a perfect job of handling all of the technical differences between the two systems. There are third party software products however which can do a better job of analyzing the structure of the Access database to pin point any issues before the transition. Those issues still have to be fixed first however before you can migrate.

1. Sun Tzu said: The control of a large force
is the same principle as the control of a few men:
it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.

2. Fighting with a large army under your command
is nowise different from fighting with a small one:
it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals.

3. To ensure that your whole host may withstand
the brunt of the enemy's attack and remain unshaken--
this is effected by maneuvers direct and indirect.

4. That the impact of your army may be like a grindstone
dashed against an egg--this is effected by the science
of weak points and strong.

5. In all fighting, the direct method may be used
for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed
in order to secure victory.

Armies in the Fire

2009-07-13T01:20:00.000-07:00

The lamps now glitter down the street;
Faintly sound the falling feet;
And the blue even slowly falls
About the garden trees and walls.

Now in the falling of the gloom
The red fire paints the empty room:
And warmly on the roof it looks,
And flickers on the back of books.

Armies march by tower and spire
Of cities blazing, in the fire;--
Till as I gaze with staring eyes,
The armies fall, the lustre dies.

Then once again the glow returns;
Again the phantom city burns;
And down the red-hot valley, lo!
The phantom armies marching go!

Blinking embers, tell me true
Where are those armies marching to,
And what the burning city is
That crumbles in your furnaces!

Auntie's Skirts

Whenever Auntie moves around,
Her dresses make a curious sound,
They trail behind her up the floor,
And trundle after through the door.

CUSTOMER SERVICE TIPS FOR MAIL ORDER BUSINESS

2009-07-10T05:40:00.000-07:00

Can we be too good to our customers? No way! Our customers are the backbone
of our business! They're right no matter what!
But I'm sorry to disagree with you. As small, honest and legitimate
businesses _ we have a tendency to place our product quality above money.
While this is the "right" way of building a strong, solid business; there
are customers that will try to take advantage of you. You have to learn how
to notice this possibility coming and "bow out gracefully" without losing the
customer.
Remember that most newcomers to the world of mail order think that they are
ordering from BIG companies just because we have a company name! They cannot
conceive how poor and struggling a lot of us really are. They think we can
absorb costs and because they are poor themselves, will often try and take
advantage of people like us. (If they only knew the many times I have
personally had to hold an order up for mailing because I couldn't afford
the 52c to mail it back, or the guy who bounced a $2 check and caused a
close friend of mine to go "in the hole" $15 in bad check charges.)
But because we are honest people who place our product ABOVE money we
sometimes let people walk all over us. In fact _ a mail order buddie of mine
(who distributes shareware computer disks) is normally so happy when she gets
an order that she gives the customer almost 10 times more than what they pay
for. She is so excited about keeping a customer that she goes overboard to
make them happy.

The Man and the Satyr

2009-07-08T23:54:00.000-07:00

A Man had lost his way in a wood one bitter winter's night.
As he was roaming about, a Satyr came up to him, and finding that
he had lost his way, promised to give him a lodging for the night,
and guide him out of the forest in the morning. As he went along
to the Satyr's cell, the Man raised both his hands to his mouth
and kept on blowing at them. "What do you do that for?" said the
Satyr.

"My hands are numb with the cold," said the Man, "and my
breath warms them."

After this they arrived at the Satyr's home, and soon the
Satyr put a smoking dish of porridge before him. But when the Man
raised his spoon to his mouth he began blowing upon it. "And what
do you do that for?" said the Satyr.

"The porridge is too hot, and my breath will cool it."

"Out you go," said the Satyr. "I will have nought to do with
a man who can blow hot and cold with the same breath."

The Fox and the Stork

2009-07-08T07:48:00.000-07:00

At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and
seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner,
and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in a very
shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork
could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and left the meal
as hungry as when she began. "I am sorry," said the Fox, "the
soup is not to your liking."

"Pray do not apologise," said the Stork. "I hope you will
return this visit, and come and dine with me soon." So a day was
appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork; but when they were
seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a
very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could
not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the
outside of the jar.

"I will not apologise for the dinner," said the Stork:

"One bad turn deserves another."

Aesop's Fables

The Cock and the Pearl

A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the
hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw.
"Ho! ho!" quoth he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from
beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by
some chance had been lost in the yard? "You may be a treasure,"
quoth Master Cock, "to men that prize you, but for me I would
rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls."

Precious things are for those that can prize them.

The Wolf and the Lamb

Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside,
when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to
drink a little lower down. "There's my supper," thought he, "if
only I can find some excuse to seize it." Then he called out to
the Lamb, "How dare you muddle the water from which I am
drinking?"

"Nay, master, nay," said Lambikin; "if the water be muddy up
there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to
me."

"Well, then," said the Wolf, "why did you call me bad names
this time last year?"

"That cannot be," said the Lamb; "I am only six months old."

"I don't care," snarled the Wolf; "if it was not you it was
your father;" and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb
and
.WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA
.ate her all up. But before she died she gasped out
."Any excuse will serve a tyrant."

The Dog and the Shadow

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was
carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way
home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he
crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the
water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of
meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at
the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of
meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

The Lion's Share

The Lion went once a-hunting along with the Fox, the Jackal,
and the Wolf. They hunted and they hunted till at last they
surprised a Stag, and soon took its life. Then came the question
how the spoil should be divided. "Quarter me this Stag," roared
the Lion; so the other animals skinned it and cut it into four
parts. Then the Lion took his stand in front of the carcass and
pronounced judgment: The first quarter is for me in my capacity
as King of Beasts; the second is mine as arbiter; another share
comes to me for my part in the chase; and as for the fourth
quarter, well, as for that, I should like to see which of you will
dare to lay a paw upon it."

"Humph," grumbled the Fox as he walked away with his tail
between his legs; but he spoke in a low growl
."You may share the labours of the great,
but you will not share the spoil."

The Wolf and the Crane

A Wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when
suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in his throat and he could
not swallow it. He soon felt terrible pain in his throat, and ran
up and down groaning and groaning and seeking for something to
relieve the pain. He tried to induce every one he met to remove
the bone. "I would give anything," said he, "if you would take it
out." At last the Crane agreed to try, and told the Wolf to lie
on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could. Then the Crane
put its long neck down the Wolf's throat, and with its beak
loosened the bone, till at last it got it out.

"Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?" said the
Crane.

The Wolf grinned and showed his teeth and said: "Be content.
You have put your head inside a Wolf's mouth and taken it out
again in safety; that ought to be reward enough for you."

Gratitude and greed go not together.

The Man and the Serpent

A Countryman's son by accident trod upon a Serpent's tail,
which turned and bit him so that he died. The father in a rage
got his axe, and pursuing the Serpent, cut off part of its tail.
So the Serpent in revenge began stinging several of the Farmer's
cattle and caused him severe loss. Well, the Farmer thought it
best to make it up with the Serpent, and brought food and honey to
the mouth of its lair, and said to it: "Let's forget and forgive;
perhaps you were right to punish my son, and take vengeance on my
cattle, but surely I was right in trying to revenge him; now that
we are both satisfied why should not we be friends again?"

"No, no," said the Serpent; "take away your gifts; you can
never forget the death of your son, nor I the loss of my tail."

Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a
visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this
cousin, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily
welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to
offer, but he offered them freely. The Town Mouse rather turned
up his long nose at this country fare, and said: "I cannot
understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as
this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the
country; come you with me and I will show you how to live. When
you have been in town a week you will wonder how you could ever
have stood a country life." No sooner said than done: the two
mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse's
residence late at night. "You will want some refreshment after
our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend
into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a
fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes
and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking.
"What is that?" said the Country Mouse. "It is only the dogs of
the house," answered the other. "Only!" said the Country Mouse.
"I do not like that music at my dinner." Just at that moment the
door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice had to
scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country
Mouse, "What! going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied;

A SHIFTING REEF

2009-07-07T03:50:00.000-07:00

CHAPTER I
Che year 1866 was signalised by a remarkable incident, a mysterious
and puzzling phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten.
Not to mention rumours which agitated the maritime population
and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents,
seafaring men were particularly excited. Merchants, common sailors,
captains of vessels, skippers, both of Europe and America,
naval officers of all countries, and the Governments of several States
on the two continents, were deeply interested in the matter.

For some time past vessels had been met by "an enormous thing,"
a long object, spindle-shaped, occasionally phosphorescent,
and infinitely larger and more rapid in its movements than a whale.

The facts relating to this apparition (entered in various log-books)
agreed in most respects as to the shape of the object or creature in question,
the untiring rapidity of its movements, its surprising power of locomotion,
and the peculiar life with which it seemed endowed. If it was a whale,
it surpassed in size all those hitherto classified in science.
Taking into consideration the mean of observations made at divers times--
rejecting the timid estimate of those who assigned to this object
a length of two hundred feet, equally with the exaggerated opinions
which set it down as a mile in width and three in length--we might fairly
conclude that this mysterious being surpassed greatly all dimensions
admitted by the learned ones of the day, if it existed at all.
And that it DID exist was an undeniable fact; and, with that tendency
which disposes the human mind in favour of the marvellous, we can understand
the excitement produced in the entire world by this supernatural apparition.
As to classing it in the list of fables, the idea was out of the question.

On the 20th of July, 1866, the steamer Governor Higginson,
of the Calcutta and Burnach Steam Navigation Company, had met
this moving mass five miles off the east coast of Australia.
Captain Baker thought at first that he was in the presence of an
unknown sandbank; he even prepared to determine its exact position
when two columns of water, projected by the mysterious object,
shot with a hissing noise a hundred and fifty feet up into the air.
Now, unless the sandbank had been submitted to the intermittent
eruption of a geyser, the Governor Higginson had to do neither
more nor less than with an aquatic mammal, unknown till then,
which threw up from its blow-holes columns of water mixed with
air and vapour.

Similar facts were observed on the 23rd of July in the same year,
in the Pacific Ocean, by the Columbus, of the West India
and Pacific Steam Navigation Company. But this extraordinary
creature could transport itself from one place to another
with surprising velocity; as, in an interval of three days,
the Governor Higginson and the Columbus had observed it at
two different points of the chart, separated by a distance
of more than seven hundred nautical leagues.

Fifteen days later, two thousand miles farther off, the Helvetia,
of the Compagnie-Nationale, and the Shannon, of the Royal
Mail Steamship Company, sailing to windward in that portion
of the Atlantic lying between the United States and Europe,
respectively signalled the monster to each other in 42@ 15' N. lat.
and 60@ 35' W. long. In these simultaneous observations they
thought themselves justified in estimating the minimum length
of the mammal at more than three hundred and fifty feet,
as the Shannon and Helvetia were of smaller dimensions than it,
though they measured three hundred feet over all.

IN WHICH PASSEPARTOUT IS CONVINCED THAT HE HAS AT LAST FOUND HIS IDEAL

2009-07-07T03:42:00.000-07:00

Chapter II
"Faith," muttered Passepartout, somewhat flurried, "I've seen people
at Madame Tussaud's as lively as my new master!"

Madame Tussaud's "people," let it be said, are of wax, and are much
visited in London; speech is all that is wanting to make them human.

During his brief interview with Mr. Fogg, Passepartout had been
carefully observing him. He appeared to be a man about forty years of age,
with fine, handsome features, and a tall, well-shaped figure;
his hair and whiskers were light, his forehead compact and unwrinkled,
his face rather pale, his teeth magnificent. His countenance possessed
in the highest degree what physiognomists call "repose in action,"
a quality of those who act rather than talk. Calm and phlegmatic,
with a clear eye, Mr. Fogg seemed a perfect type of that English
composure which Angelica Kauffmann has so skilfully represented on canvas.
Seen in the various phases of his daily life, he gave the idea of being
perfectly well-balanced, as exactly regulated as a Leroy chronometer.
Phileas Fogg was, indeed, exactitude personified, and this was betrayed
even in the expression of his very hands and feet; for in men, as well as
in animals, the limbs themselves are expressive of the passions.

He was so exact that he was never in a hurry, was always ready,
and was economical alike of his steps and his motions. He never took
one step too many, and always went to his destination by the shortest cut;
he made no superfluous gestures, and was never seen to be moved or agitated.
He was the most deliberate person in the world, yet always reached his
destination at the exact moment.

He lived alone, and, so to speak, outside of every social relation;
and as he knew that in this world account must be taken of friction,
and that friction retards, he never rubbed against anybody.

As for Passepartout, he was a true Parisian of Paris. Since he
had abandoned his own country for England, taking service as a valet,
he had in vain searched for a master after his own heart.
Passepartout was by no means one of those pert dunces depicted by
Moliere with a bold gaze and a nose held high in the air; he was
an honest fellow, with a pleasant face, lips a trifle protruding,
soft-mannered and serviceable, with a good round head, such as one
likes to see on the shoulders of a friend. His eyes were blue,
his complexion rubicund, his figure almost portly and well-built,
his body muscular, and his physical powers fully developed by the
exercises of his younger days. His brown hair was somewhat tumbled;
for, while the ancient sculptors are said to have known eighteen methods
of arranging Minerva's tresses, Passepartout was familiar with but one of
dressing his own: three strokes of a large-tooth comb completed his toilet.

It would be rash to predict how Passepartout's lively nature would agree
with Mr. Fogg. It was impossible to tell whether the new servant
would turn out as absolutely methodical as his master required;
experience alone could solve the question. Passepartout had been
a sort of vagrant in his early years, and now yearned for repose;
but so far he had failed to find it, though he had already served
in ten English houses. But he could not take root in any of these;
with chagrin, he found his masters invariably whimsical and irregular,
constantly running about the country, or on the look-out for adventure.
His last master, young Lord Longferry, Member of Parliament,
after passing his nights in the Haymarket taverns, was too often
brought home in the morning on policemen's shoulders. Passepartout,
desirous of respecting the gentleman whom he served, ventured a mild
remonstrance on such conduct; which, being ill-received, he took his leave.
Hearing that Mr. Phileas Fogg was looking for a servant, and that his life
was one of unbroken regularity, that he neither travelled nor stayed
from home overnight, he felt sure that this would be the place he was after.
He presented himself, and was accepted, as has been seen.

At half-past eleven, then, Passepartout found himself alone in
the house in Saville Row. He begun its inspection without delay,
scouring it from cellar to garret. So clean, well-arranged,
solemn a mansion pleased him; it seemed to him like a snail's shell,
lighted and warmed by gas, which sufficed for both these purposes.
When Passepartout reached the second story he recognised at once
the room which he was to inhabit, and he was well satisfied with it.
Electric bells and speaking-tubes afforded communication with
the lower stories; while on the mantel stood an electric clock,
precisely like that in Mr. Fogg's bedchamber, both beating
the same second at the same instant. "That's good, that'll do,"
said Passepartout to himself.

He suddenly observed, hung over the clock, a card which, upon inspection,
proved to be a programme of the daily routine of the house.
It comprised all that was required of the servant, from eight in the morning,
exactly at which hour Phileas Fogg rose, till half-past eleven,
when he left the house for the Reform Club--all the details of service,
the tea and toast at twenty-three minutes past eight, the shaving-water
at thirty-seven minutes past nine, and the toilet at twenty minutes before ten.
Everything was regulated and foreseen that was to be done from
half-past eleven a.m. till midnight, the hour at which the
methodical gentleman retired.

Mr. Fogg's wardrobe was amply supplied and in the best taste.
Each pair of trousers, coat, and vest bore a number,
indicating the time of year and season at which they were
in turn to be laid out for wearing; and the same system
was applied to the master's shoes. In short, the house
in Saville Row, which must have been a very temple of disorder
and unrest under the illustrious but dissipated Sheridan, was cosiness,
comfort, and method idealised. There was no study, nor were there books,
which would have been quite useless to Mr. Fogg; for at the Reform
two libraries, one of general literature and the other of law and politics,
were at his service. A moderate-sized safe stood in his bedroom,
constructed so as to defy fire as well as burglars; but Passepartout
found neither arms nor hunting weapons anywhere; everything betrayed
the most tranquil and peaceable habits.

Having scrutinised the house from top to bottom, he rubbed his hands,
a broad smile overspread his features, and he said joyfully,
"This is just what I wanted! Ah, we shall get on together,
Mr. Fogg and I! What a domestic and regular gentleman!
A real machine; well, I don't mind serving a machine."

AEROBICS CLASSES Dancing For Profit

2009-07-06T17:07:00.000-07:00

Although the national obsession for group exercise has begun to level off,
estimates claim 23 million Americans participate in aerobics in health clubs
and exercise gyms.
This includes people enrolled in programs run from community facilities,
YMCAs, and gyms, to dance studios in shopping malls.
This figure represents 10% of the US population who exercise occasionally,
definitely a fraction of what it used to be 10 years ago when the craze was
at its peak and America was waking up to the urgent message of the importance
of exercise.
NEW MARKETS
The decline of enrollment-based fitness programs have forced many studios
to expand their services.
For example, some jazz exercise studios now offer skin care and nutritional
counseling. Some offer shiatsu classes.
The biggest problems for any stationary fitness program is being able to
organize classes that work around the schedule of its potential clients.
The interest in fitness remains. The market did not dwindle as the figures
suggest. The biggest challenge in this industry to identify new ways to
deliver its services to the market.
BUNS OF STEEL
If you are an aspiring exercise entrepreneur, here are three avenues by
which you can deliver and sell your services to your market:
CORPORATE CONTRACTS.
Many businesses recognize that healthy employees are productive employees,
something the Japanese realized decades ago.
You can send instructors to a business location to conduct exercise classes
that are subsidized by the employer.
SATELLITE CLASSES.
You can lease community or church facilities, recreational centers or school
gymnasiums and hold classes for people in that community. Some very large
apartment complexes have halls or functionareas where classes can be held.
VIDEOS.
Students who attend your class once can continue the routine on their own
time. That's the convenience video can offer. Instead of coming to an
organized exercise class, piople will attend an exercise class in front of
their VCRs. In fact, a video tape can be an excxellent add-on product
to corporate contracts, satellite classes, or studio classes.

HIGHLY PROFITABLE SHOPPING CENTER PAPERS

2009-07-04T08:49:00.000-07:00

One of the easiest of all businesses to establish, publishing shopping center papers - can make you very rich - almost as fast as finding gold, or inheriting an oil well.

Revenue and profits come from two main sources: The businesses in the shopping center your paper serves, and the people reading your paper. It doesn't matter that there's already a "Shopper's Paper" in your area, or that you know nothing about the publishing business and don't own a printing press.

The first thing is to understand the specific needs of your market. The stores, shops and businesses in the downtown area advertise to reach all the people, and thus, they're hurting from the competition of similar stores, shops and businesses in the neighborhood shopping centers closer to where the people actually live. Yet, these shop ping center stores, shops and businesses ONLY SERVE CUSTOMERS LIVING WITHIN A 5-MILE RADIUS OF THEIR BUSINESS LOCATION!

So, the thing to do is organize a plan, and then work that plan. Contact the store owners or managers of the stores in each shopping center in your area. You can include stores or shops and businesses not in the shopping center itself, but clustered within the same immediate area. However, it's important that your emphasis be placed on the individuality of each shopping center.

Explain to each of these business people that you're starting a "shoppers paper" that will carry advertising only for businesses in that particular shopping center. With this kind of "local advertising media," the stores, shops and other businesses need not worry about competition, nor have to bear the advertising costs of city-wide circulation.

The second selling point is your distribution or circulation system. Take a section of your city street map; draw a 5-mile circle around each shopping center; then take it to your local quick print shop, and have him give you several printed copies blown up to twice the original size.

Then as you+re selling each business owner, show him the shopping center location on your map with the 5-mile circle around it. Explain that your door-to-door distributors leave a copy at each home or apartment within that circle only. This means you'll have to estimate how many homes or apartments there are within each shopping center's customer circle.

Getting your papers out to all of these homes and apartments needn't be that big a problem. Simply talk with the 7th and 8th grade counselors at the schools with-in the service circle. Arrange to pay the counselors $15 per thousand papers delivered
for you. The idea is to get the counselors to line up the students to do the delivering for you, and pay them a percentage of the total you give him. The same plan can be worked with boy scout and/or girl scout troops. You might even contact the youth organizations at the churches within the service circle, and propose your delivery operation as a fund-raising project.

At the bottom line, the businesses gathered in or near each shopping center will buy advertising space in your paper because your rates will be cheaper; you'll be carrying advertising for a specific location only; and your distribution will be direct to their customers only.

You can begin, and handle all phases of your business operation single-handedly, but after the first couple of editions, you'll make much more money by hiring others to do the selling for you. Simply run an ad in your weekend newspapers, promising big in comes to commission type advertising sales people. Word your ad so that those interested call you on the phone.

When they call - get their name, address and phone number. Then explain that you're looking for just a few top-notch go- getters who can handle several thousand dollars a week in advertising commissions from individual merchants located in neighborhood shopping centers. Ask them to tell you a little bit about themselves, and then invite them to a get-acquainted meeting in the banquet or meeting room you've reserved in a local restaurant or motel. Give them the time, and date, then tell them you'll see them at the meeting.

At the meeting, show them a prototype or dummy of one of your papers. Tell them they'll each be assigned a territory that includes theee shopping centers. You then explain/teach them the reasons why there's big money in shopping center papers just as
I've explained to you.

FIREWOOD SUPPLY BUSINESS

2009-07-01T09:12:00.000-07:00

Unpredictable fuel costs and the necessity of keeping warm in the winter have resulted in "boom sales" for manufacturers of wood-burning stoves. There has also been a return to the use of the fireplace as a form of supplementary heat and as a luxury that promotes the "cozy" atmosphere sought after by both middle class and affluent families. This renaissance in the popularity of wood heat, and upward spiraling sales of associated equipment, has created a demand for firewood that's almost impossible to fulfill!

A very important element: This demand has caused the price of firewood to almost double over the past several years. Whatever the "going price" for a cord of firewood in your area, you can expect it to increase by 20 to 30 percent each year for the next ten years or so.

Your potential market is a varied as the weather; it is also somewhat dependent on the weather. You'll find buyers among apartment dwellers as well as home owners. The rich are buying firewood perhaps more than the poor; those concerned with the purity of the environment and the so-called "voluntary-simplicity' folk seeking a return to the "pioneering" life are all part of your market.

And don't think for a minute that firewood sales are limited to the colder northern states. People living in Sunny Southern California and along the Gulf of Mexico buy and burn firewood for the same reasons as people living in Minnesota or Montana.

One of the secrets of success in this business is understanding why the people in your area burn firewood. Then it's a matter of learning when and how often they need it, and positioning yourself to fill those needs.

It doesn't take special education or training to become a successful firewood supplier. Just for the record, the backgrounds of people operating businesses of this kind range from farmers to unemployed factory workers to doctors, lawyers, real estate salesmen and even university professors.

The kind of equipment you'll need varies according to the type of business you want to establish, and the kind of wood you will be supplying.

The first prerequisite to the establishment of your business is to decide what kind of business - wholesale to retail outlets, or retail to the general public - you want to operate.

Next, you'll have to decide on the type of firewood you will sell. There are three major categories: l) mill ends or sawed up scrap lumber and kindling, 2) whole logs for the buyer to cut according to his own specifications, 3) fireplace and stove wood, cut and split according to the general requirements of your market area.

Your next step is to line up a source of supply. Actually, it's best to "lock in" a number of sources of supply. Later on, as your business develops and grows, you may want to offer several different kinds of firewood, that is, become a full-service dealer offering firewood to meet everyone's needs and fancies for your area. We'll discuss different categories of wood in demand, so that you can explore sources of supply and costs.

MILL ENDS: Your best source of supply for this type of wood is the sawmills in your area. If you live in a metropolitan area, take a few weekend trips to the small towns in the wooded areas of your state. With a little bit of initiative on our part, you should be able to discover any number of small sawmill operations within a 200-mile radius of most metropolitan areas in this country. What you'll want to do is buy a truckload of mill ends,
take them home and package them into sacks of firewood. Thus, a load of mill ends that you might buy for $50 would be broken down into perhaps 200 sackfuls that you sell for $5 per sack. Multiply these 200 sacks of firewood times $5 each, and you have a gross
income of $1,000 for a load of wood costing you only $50. You wouldn't have to be very smart to realize that's pretty good, providing your sources of supply can keep up with the demand.

The beauty of mill ends is that they are clean, burn easily and fast, put out a lot of heat, and when broken down into sackfuls are ideal for apartment dwellers, as well as people in warmer climates needing firewood for just a few cold spells each winter. Until you have a large full-service firewood supply operation, it's suggested that you leave the sale of truckload supplies of mill ends to the larger, more established fire wood suppliers. My advice here is that you should stay within your capabilities of supplying the buying demands of your market, and further concentrate on selling what brings you the greatest
profit. However, as your operation grows, the supply of truck loads of mill end firewood is definitely worth considering.

Other sources of supply for mill end lumber will be your local lumber yards, wood working or furniture manufacturing firms, and home building or remodeling contractors. In many instances, you can offer to stop by these places about once a week and clean up the worksite by hauling away the scrap lumber, and they'll let you have it without cost. It is possible to even get paid for doing this. The only drawback will be that you'll have to sort this wood, and then saw it up into the size s you want for your bundles or sacks. This is no big deal, because you can handle a pickup or trailer load with a power saw in just a couple of hours.

When you have the wood ready to package into sacks, you'll save time and in crease your profits by hiring a couple of high school students. Contact the counselors at one of the local high schools, explain that you need a couple of students for part time work sacking firewood, and you'll have all the help you need.

As for how much to pay them, establish a pay rate for 100 full sacks. Of two high school students, one would hold open a sack while the other uses a scoop shovel to pick up the wood and dump it into the sack. Between them, they can gather the top of the
sack and tie it with twine. The full sacks, of course, must be stacked on a pallet or in an area ready for selling. Check the time it takes two good students, working at a reasonably fast clip, to load 100 sacks. Knowing the current minimum hourly wage rate, you can then determine the labor value of 100 loaded sacks.

For a supply of burlap bags for use in sacking your wood, check with a farmers' feed store. If you buy in quantity, you can get them at a very reasonable price. You can purchase twine for tying the sacks at the same place.

WHOLE LOGS: Many people have chain saws and fancy themselves as "do-it-yourselfers," but they don't have the time to go out into the woods and bring back firewood. If you can supply these people with a location not too far from home, where they can saw and split their own firewood, you'll have a steady stream of customers. You'll need a large vacant lot - about a half acre to a full acre - and preferably on the outskirts of town. The first thing will be to put up a 6-foot cyclone fence around your lot,
and then a small garden shed type building to serve as your office.

Contact a sawmill or logging operation not too far from where you want to open your business. Arrange with them to deliver whole logs (lumber rejects) to your wood lot. Your costs shouldn't run much more than $10 per log, even for premium wood, but will depend upon the size and number delivered in each load.

If you have the vehicle and the energy, you can also contact the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management in your area for a permit to Cut firewood in government preservation areas. Then you go out into the woods, saw up downed tree s into eight-
foot lengths, load them into your vehicle and haul them to your woodlot.

Still another source of supply is the farmers in your area. Talk with them and offer to "thin out" areas of standing timber, and the downed trees. Oftentimes, you can get this wood at no cost other than offering the land owner a share of the timber you take out. He may even consider your "thinning" and hauling an even exchange for the logs.

Don't forget about the road building construction companies, and commercial and residential developers as sources of supply. Actually, once you get into this business, you'll find sources of supply virtually unlimited, and restricted only by your own initiative in making contact with the property owners.

Once you have a supply of logs within your wood lot, there are many things you can do to attract customers. Run an advertisement in your local paper inviting "do-it-yourselfers" to come out and Cut their own firewood. You charge them twice as much per log as your cost, and they do the sawing, the splitting, the loading and provide their own car or truck to take them home. You are there only to supervise and receive payment.

You could also rent chain saws, axes, and the use of your power splitter. Allow the customer to select the log of his choice, and then have the hired help - high school students, perhaps - who would saw, split and load this wood into the buyer's vehicle. The ultimate, of course, would be to include delivery and stacking of this wood at the customer's residence.

Once the customer has selected his log - at twice your cost and pays you $5 for sawing it into the lengths he wants, plus $10 for splitting it for him and another $10 for loading it onto his vehicle, you're talking about $150 to $200 per cord of wood. The secret here is to have your helpers working in teams, with the kind of efficiency that means $l00 per hour for you.

NEWSPAPER CLIPPING SERVICE

2009-06-30T04:06:00.000-07:00

NEWSPAPER CLIPPING SERVICE

This is a very lucrative business, and it's growing in demand and popularity. There are thousands of people in all parts of the world who are making hundreds of dollars each week, just reading and clipping news items in the privacy of their own homes!

The press-clipping business is very much misunderstood by most people, and therefore there are a lot of people who are very skeptical about it as a way for ordinary people to make extra money at home. If you explain to friends or neighbors that you
operate a press clipping business, most of them will think you pore through the obituaries, funeral notices, and wedding announcements. Clipping these out and sending them to the people or relatives of the people being written about.

In reality, this is but a very small part of the home-based newspaper clipping service. The really successful press clipping services have contracts with companies and organizations that want to keep current on any number of matter reported in the papers.

Some companies hire clipping services in order to keep track of what their competitors are doing. Other companies, including businesses of all kinds, use clipping services as a means of locating sales leads and new customers. National magazines and
newspapers are always in need of different or interesting material, and frequently employ home-based clipping services.

To set yourself up in this kind of business, you'll need only a pair of scissors and as many different newspapers and magazines as you can subscribe to. A visit to your local library should be most informative relative to newspapers and magazines available to subscribers.

You should also visit your local wholesale paper house, or make a deal with your local stationery store to buy labels at a discount price. You'll want to attach these labels to the top of each clipping you send to your clients. On these labels, you'll want to print the name of the publication the clipping came from, and the date it appeared, as well as your own name and address.

The next step is simply to start clipping articles that mention or talk about specific companies or people. File your clippings in envelopes or boxes according to industries or types of businesses, by company name, and according to the names of the people mentioned.

Once you have ten or more clippings that talk about a particular company or person, put them in an envelope and send them to that company's owner or public relations director. You should include a short note with the clippings, explaining your service and your fee.

You should try to get your clients to agree to pay you a monthly "reader's fee," for which you agree to look for anything in the newspaper about him or his company or industry. Every time you spot such an article, you of course clip it and send it to him. A minimum monthly "reader's fee" is usually about $25, but it can vary according to the number of publications you read, and the number of clipping found.

Generally, a clipping service that scans statewide publications will charge about $50 per client, or $100 per client for those wanting clippings from national publications. These fees, of course, are monthly fees, and you can easily see how you could make some very good money with just 20 to 25 clients.

To promote and build your business, you can scan your local business services directory and send out a solicitation letter to each of those listed. A couple of days after you've posted your sales letter, you should follow up with a phone call.

A short, to-the-point ad under "Business Personals" in your daily newspaper will also bring in new clients for you. And as soon as you can afford it, go with at least a small display ad in the yellow pages of your telephone directory.

You should definitely contact the public relations firms, advertising agencies, and civic organizations in your area. Explain your services and ask them if they have any special clients or needs you can help them with. You'll find many of your local political and "cause" groups very interested in receiving clippings about their opponents.

Clipping services in one form or another have been around since the advent of the printing press, and as stated earlier, they're becoming more in demand. It's definitely the kind of business anyone who knows how to read can set up and operate with an absolute minimum investment.

Commercial Real Estate Changes

2009-06-27T04:13:00.000-07:00

In today's time of economic turmoil, business owners must begin to reexamine every aspect of their business. Savvy business people are going over their inventory and staffing needs, making cuts where they can and reinvesting their limited funds wisely.

However, for many business owners, the one expense they tend to overlook may in fact be the expense that could be costing them the most money: real estate. If your current piece of commercial real estate is not servicing your needs, it may be time to look into purchasing a new property for your business.

There are a number of practical considerations to make when deciding if you should purchase a new piece of commercial real estate. While cost is a primary consideration, it cannot be the only consideration.

While some property may have a seemingly high purchase price, the benefits of the property in the long term may more than make up for the initial cost. The first step in this process is to weigh your current piece of commercial land against the benefits and costs of choosing a different piece of property.

For instance, the location of your commercial real estate could be in a high traffic area. This can come in handy when considering your advertising budget, since a sign on the building can essentially create a free, ongoing billboard advertising your business.

This kind of free advertising can be invaluable as time goes by for any sort of local business. You may also look for commercial property next to existing businesses with similar customers. This could be a great way to work with your neighbors to create a one stop shopping experience. That sort of foot traffic and the potential for window shopping could be just as valuable as a billboard or newspaper advertisement.

Next, you should consider the actual structure you are currently in and compare that to other locations in your area. Today, many pieces of real estate offer built in Internet lines, which may be a huge upgrade from your current location. Furthermore, modern buildings may offer 'green', energy efficient designs that will save you money as time goes by.

Finally, it may be time to judge how your current piece of real estate helps you in regards to efficiency. Does your current space fit your needs while leaving you room to grow in the future? Can your workers perform to the fullest in your current space?

Guidelines For Book

2009-06-27T04:05:00.000-07:00

Whether you are writing a non-fiction or a fiction book, there are guidelines you must follow, both in creating your text and formatting your manuscript. Help is available in the form of stylebooks that give writers such information as when to capitalize certain words, how to cite sources in text, where to use italics, and so forth.

If you have written and sold newspaper or magazine articles, you are no doubt familiar with the Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual, the mainstay of reporters everywhere. Although AP style is acceptable for book-length publications, the Chicago Manual of Style, published by the University of Chicago Press was recently updated for users who also work with electronic publications.

As does the AP stylebook, the 956-page Chicago manual covers subject matter from word usage to parts of speech; from quoting without permission to how to read an editor's proof marks on your hard copy; and from punctuation to common terminology. Both books are well designed for quick and easy reference and certainly worth purchasing.

In addition to following the style and usage advice found in these books, you will be required by a publisher to set up your manuscript in a certain way, called "formatting" in the trade. Each publisher has different formatting guidelines. Make sure you review these guidelines before you submit your prized work. Following style and formatting guidelines will quickly become second nature to new writers. So get out there, write your heart out, do your research on publishers, format your book, submit it, and have fun becoming a best seller!

Home-Based Franchises of the Future

2009-06-25T23:09:00.000-07:00

Do you feel a passion to start a business franchise but don't have enough money to start it? It is proven that starting a systematized franchise can be VERY profitable, but the cold reality is that it's an extremely EXPENSIVE undertaking. To purchase a McDonalds franchise for example, the initial cost runs about $45,000. Most entrepreneur franchises can cost a considerable amount to start.

If you are looking to start your own franchise but don't have much of a start up fee, an overlooked but solid opportunity for the entrepreneur is to own MULTIPLE HOME BUSINESS FRANCHISES. These home wealth opportunities are all targeted towards entrepreneurs who have the DRIVE and DESIRE to own their own businesses without having to shell out the enormous start up fee of owning your own McDonalds for example. Home-based entrepreneur franchises offer the same potential for business growth as well as personal and professional development and just like owning a McDonalds franchise, most home business franchises operate under a proven scientific system that is managed by a larger entity. While the company handles things like Research and Development, the entrepreneur can focus solely on developing his/her business.

Home-based entrepreneur franchises are one of the most lucrative professions for the aspiring entrepreneur. Not only do you create multiple business income streams, but you do so at a FRACTION of the price. But if home-based franchises are the most effective way to create favorable income streams for the aspiring entrepreneur, then WHY are so many home-based franchise owners NOT OBTAINING THEIR DESIRED INCOME?

Between Ethical Or Fair Trade Clothing

2009-06-24T23:50:00.000-07:00

In order to make an informed choice between ethical and fair trade clothing, you must have a clear understanding of what the difference is between the two. The clothing industry is one that can be very volatile when it comes to fads, trends and clothing styles that can come and go with the blink of an eye. There are many extremes that come into the clothing industry and nearly just as quickly, their appeal is gone.

Some clothing styles go on to become legendary or what are known as classics that never lose their appeal even as the generations come and go. Over recent years, there has been a change in the clothing industry. So what exactly is ethical clothing and how does it differ from fair clothing? Let's examine both types.

Ethical clothing addresses a broad range of concerns that have been around about as long as the clothing industry itself. Some of the major concerns with clothing that is not ethical is that the clothing is produced by workers in factories or sweat shops where wages are an amount so low that workers cannot make a reasonable living to support themselves. The unfortunate reality is that there are many designs on the racks in your local stores that have been made by these workers. Ethical clothing demands that workers be paid what their labor is worth. Ethical clothing also mandates that the workers be give benefits such as maternity leave and insurance options.

The momentum for ethical clothing has not picked up because many clothing manufacturers experience significant cost savings by outsourcing work to these countries where the condition of life is so poor that people are willing to work for minimum amounts of money in substandard work conditions to survive. Clothing in the United States aimed at creating a better environment and better working conditions for people. The Fair Trade Federation provides a means for clothing lines to join but the membership criteria is strict. Fortunately, fair trade is also branching out into jewelry, personal care, candles, bedding, toys, games and paper goods. The difference between ethical and fair trade clothing is that clothing made by the latter takes the earth into consideration and provides clothing that is made from natural products.

When it comes to fair trade clothing, however, none of the major retailer chains carry fair trade clothing. This should not be a deterrent if you wish to purchase it, just look online and you will find many sources from which you can order such clothing.

Putting Property in a Trust

2009-06-24T02:52:00.000-07:00

1. A trust is different from a will, in that it allows a person to distribute their worldly goods among their loved ones before their death. It is entirely possible to create a trust as well as leaving a will, or to do one or the other. With good legal advice, you can bequeath your possessions in exactly the way that will avoid being taxed excessively, or just tailor the bequest in the way that you judge most satisfactory.

2. Like a will, a trust can be changed to reflect the state of affairs between the person creating the trust - the testator - and those who will benefit from it - the beneficiaries. Should realities change over the course of the testator's life, so may the terms of the trust. This allows the testator to ensure that the beneficiaries do not use the terms of the agreement against one another.

3. Setting up a living trust can allow you to avoid your children, dependents or beneficiaries having to go through the system of probate on your property after you die. This is one major reason that people tend to favor a living trust over a will - after all, your family will already be mourning your death - to have to suffer the stress and strain of probate lawyers arguing over your property adds unnecessary extra heartache.

4. It is worth remembering when you are setting up a living trust that you will be required to fund and manage it - or at least delegate trustees to take care of this. This can result in it being an expensive way of doing things. Of course the expense and the overall efficiency of this can depend very much on personal circumstances, so it is far from a "one size fits all" situation. What works for some may not work for others, so it is worth taking some time to look at what way of doing things will work out as being the most efficient.

5. You may create a trust within a will. This allows any of your property to be managed efficiently from the moment your will becomes effective. Although it does not enable the same level of pre-death property management as a living trust, this can be achieved by bestowing power of attorney upon an individual in whom you have trust and faith. There can be large savings made in terms of tax if this is done assiduously.

Where do I start? First thing's first: You need to know your stuff. Start by learning all the basics about diamonds. You don't need to be an expert but you need to know the different shapes and the famous "4 C's." Choosing your shape is the first step then you can decide on the 4 C's when shopping for your diamond.

Cut: Describes the depth and width of the diamond. If a diamond is too shallow or too deep it won't reflect the light back up into you're eyes but go through it. You'll get less brilliance if this happens. Cut is considered the most important of the 4 C's.

Color: The color of the diamond is given a grade D-Z. D-F are colorless and the most expensive. G-J will be near colorless. Anything beyond a J is going to have noticeable color.

Clarity: Describes the level of flawlessness the diamond has as far as scratches and minerals. Flawless and Internally Flawless diamonds are going to be the most expensive. Even if a diamond isn't perfectly flawless, you're not going to be able to see the flaws with the naked eye unless it's grade SI or I.

Carat: Weight of the diamond. The larger the more expensive.

Don't Let Them Fool You

2009-06-22T01:40:00.000-07:00

Who's Who scams have been around for a long time and they never fail to con people out of their money. For different reasons, thousands of victims of this swindle don't think twice about paying big money to be listed in a Who's Who directory.

Being listed in a legitimate Who's Who directory is an impressive honor if a person has actually done something notable and deserving of being listed in such a publication. Graduating from high school, obtaining a college degree, or writing church newsletters is not enough to get listed with a legitimate Who's Who company, but these and other common things are what the fraudulent Who's Who directories use to dupe unsuspecting people into buying products and services that often don't really exist.

This bait-and-switch scheme begins with a postal letter or an email telling the recipient that he or she has recently been appointed as a biographical candidate to represent the city that he lives in. The letter states that his candidacy was approved on a certain date, and that his prompt response in needed to ensure that his professional information is correct. A personal website is provided for the receiver to visit to verify his biographical information. If Internet access isn't available, a reply card is enclosed so that the information can be mailed back to the company.

The letter states that the office of the managing director appoints an individual based upon the person's current position with information that is obtained from researched executive and professional listings. The addressee is told that the director thinks that she will make an interesting biographical subject and that individual achievement is what the company is all about. In the closing paragraph of the letter, it is declared that upon final confirmation, the recipient will be listed among thousands of accomplished individuals in that particular company's Who's Who directory. The last sentence says: "Remember, there is no cost to be included. "

It all sounds good until we consider that thousands of people receive these letters and emails, and that the majority of them are ordinary people. To give an example, Leona Gillespie recently received one of these postal letters. She was ecstatic because she had never been considered as being important in such a way as to be recognized all over America. Leona is married and has two college degrees, one of them being a Bachelor of Science in her field of work. She reads to children at an elementary school, participates in a few committees, and is loyal to her employer. She hasn't done anything that is anymore extraordinary than anyone else in her circle of friends and family.

Leona went to the personal website that was given in the letter. The site contained her name and address but no biographical information. There wasn't anything to verify as the letter claimed. There were fields that could be filled in with information such as telephone number, email address, and business affiliation. Leona didn't fall for the ruse, but curious to see what would happen, she decided to fill he fields in with the requested data.

Two days later, Leona received a phone call from the Who's Who Company asking if she had time for a brief interview. Interested to know what would ensue, she granted the caller the interview. She was asked if she had any degrees or certificates, if she was employed, if she had children, what she did for her employer and if she liked her job and what satisfaction she got from it. Leona answered the caller's questions truthfully. Five minutes into the interview, she was placed on hold. When the caller came back on the line, she congratulated Leona on being so accomplished and for being accepted for inclusion in the company's Who's Who directory.

The caller proceeded to describe to Leona the services that the company would provide to her for being acknowledged and admitted into their exclusive society of important people. The services sounded wonderful for someone that was truly a person of notable accomplishments that could use them for professional purposes; however, for someone like Leona, it was a buildup to a letdown.

The deception was in motion from the origination of the letter to the receipt and response from the recipient. By responding to the letter and giving the company her information, Leona was a prime target to be switched from the purported 'free listing' in the directory to a costlier listing that had nothing to do with the original letter. She was expected to pay for being acknowledged, thus playing on her pride. The caller told her that she was eligible for a gold membership for $569 or a platinum membership for $769, and encouraged her to select the platinum membership. It was requested that payment be given over the phone by credit or debit card. When Leona asked about the free listing in the initial letter, the caller dismissed it by telling her that the free listing was only for her name and didn't even include her biography.

Prepare For an Emergency

2009-06-20T21:05:00.000-07:00

Most people do not often think about how well-prepared they are for an emergency, but it really is something that you should consider for your family's safety as well as your own. Being prepared for an emergency brings peace of mind, even if you never have to use your emergency preparedness supplies or skills.

Start with an emergency kit that is well-stocked with food, water, utensils, matches, toiletries, and other items that you may need. Don't forget to include necessary medications. Your kit should include everything you need for at least three days. Clothing, blankets, flashlights, gloves, and other supplies can help you be more comfortable in the case of an emergency. When preparing your emergency kit, focus on survival basics such as food, fresh water, and warmth.

Evaluate your own personal needs, and make sure your emergency kit contains everything you will need to live for 3 days with no additional supplies. Consider how a disaster may affect your needs; include the supplies to deal with medical emergencies. Don't forget to include copies of important family documents like identification and insurance policies.

All of these items should be stored in a sturdy waterproof container somewhere where they should be accessible after an emergency. Keep all of the supplies together in one kit; don't plan to go searching around the house for batteries, flashlights, and other items if there is an emergency. Too many families have an emergency kit buried somewhere in their garage; they will probably be unable to find it quickly if the need arises. You may want to consider purchasing several kits and keeping them around the house so that they will be even easier to access; you will also be able to share these with others who may be less prepared.

Sell Your Property Fast

2009-06-18T23:37:00.000-07:00

An insight into some useful tricks and ideas on how to add value to your property and make it appealing before you sell.

Once you have taken the decision to put your house on the property market in search of greener pastures, there are a few things that you can do to add value to your property and ensure a quick sale. Some ideas are obvious and some you may not think of so be sure to optimise your chances of a speedy and successful sale by looking at the complex maze of advice on how to sell your property and take note of every relevant recommendation.

Firstly start by getting your house ready for an evaluation by giving the whole place a revamp. Throw out clutter and once you have faced up to your squirrel like tendencies to hoard, either bite the bullet and throw away unnecessary items or put them into storage. The trick here is to be ruthless and show no compassion for unusable things and make your property look less like your own home and more like a house. Leave no skeletons in the closet and box up anything you want to keep and get it out of the house, if only for evaluations and viewings.

Once the place is tidy, then start on the in-depth spring cleaning and a fresh lick of paint will work wonders at brightening up your property and adding value to it. Steer clear of unusual colours and decorating tastes and play the odds game by using neutral colours and stripping away any Pat Butcher style wall paper that may distract from an otherwise pleasant room. Tidy up the driveway and sweep away any stray gravel and do all those cleaning jobs that you have been meaning to do but never have time to do.

The garden is all too often neglected and if an extreme makeover is needed but you need to get moving on the sale then either get a gardener in to clear it up, friends over to help or simply add cheap pots of bright flowers and cut the grass and hedges back so it looks neat and tidy with a splash of colour. Even if it is not quite worthy of Kew Gardens stature a place devoid of weeds and wandering leaves will make a world of difference.

Have a quick run round of all the cracked window frames and leaking taps and get them fixed. You will be amazed at the impact the slightest sniff of a problem will do to ward off potential buyers. Investing in a little DIY will cost you money in the short term but will add value to your property that is peerless for a quick sale. Check out obvious problem areas like plumbing, faulty electrical systems, roof tiles and chimneys. Leaking conservatories or cracked greenhouses are cheap and simple to fix so take a little time now to make repairs and buyers will soon be knocking the door down.

After paying much needed attention to the inside and outside appearance of your property, it is now time to get evaluated. Invite multiple estate agents in to avoid being over or under priced, as a correctly priced house will sell much faster. Make sure you are fully aware of any agent fees and feel free to negotiate the terms and conditions of exclusive contracts. Also self sale and advertise for free by spreading the word to all of your neighbours and friends and you may generate a private sale quicker than an agent. Also make sure that you have a 'For Sale' sign up so any passing prospective buyers know you are on the market; an especially important technique if you want a fast sale.

Membuat Orgonite.

2009-06-18T07:30:00.000-07:00

Cara membuat Orgonite.
Orgonite yang sederhana (cukup untuk Gifting) dibuat dari Resin fiberglass, Serbuk logam (segala macam) dan Batu kristal , yang dicor di dalam Mal yang anda pilih. Tidak ada salah satu bentuk atau satu ukuran untuk Orgonite yang paling bagus tetapi ada beberapa disain yang sering kita gunakan untuk 'taktikal gifting' .
Untuk membuat Orgonite sendiri, bahan yang anda perlukan:
Serbuk Logam:
Limbah bengkel bubut atau serbuk logam bekas bor berguna untuk membuat Orgonite (serbuk logam dengan ukuran kira-kira satu sentimeter panjang dan berbentuk spiral cocok ). Serbuk yang terlalu halus (misalnya bekas kikir) atau yang terlalu kasar (misalnya baut dan mur) tidak bisa dipakai untuk membuat Orgonite.
Segala macam logam (kuningan, tembaga, besi biasa, stainless dll) bisa dipakai tetapi banyak juga yang memakai serbuk aluminium.
Kristal Quartz:
Sejenis batu kristal untuk 'taktikal orgonite' tidak perlu terlalu bagus.
Batu kristal yang pecah atau kotor, yang ditemukan sendiri di sungai bisa juga digunakan.
Anda boleh juga membeli di toko kristal tetapi hanya perlu yang belum di poles.
Resin fiberglass:
Hanya komponen ini yang agak mahal (biasanya dengan harga sekitar Rp.20.000 per kilogram). Resin harus dicampur dengan Katalist kira-kira 3% (lebih baik bertanya kepada penjual untuk informasi yang lebih jelas mangenai perbandingan resin dan katalist).
Sesudah diisi katalist, resin yang masih encer memerlukan waktu sebelum menjadi matang.
Tergantung jenis resin, waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk menjadi matang bisa antara satu sampai duabelas jam.
Lebih baik memilih resin yang memerlukan waktu yang cukup lama sebelum matang, daripada resin telah menjadi kental sebelum anda dapat digunakan.
Mal:
Hendaknya anda memilih mal yang bisa tahan panas karena resin akan menjadi sangat panas selama proses pematangan.
Kita sering memakai cangkir kertas atau loyang kue bolu untuk Orgonite yang kecil (TB) dan kertas yang berbentuk kerucut, kaca serta aluminium untuk Orgonite berbentuk kerucut atau piramid (HHG).
Mal yang terbuat dari plastik tidak akan tahan panas.
Alat-alat lain yang anda perlukan:
Cangkir yang digunakan untuk mengaduk resin dan katalist (dengan ukuran satu liter atau lebih dan terbuat dari kaca)
Batang bambu untuk mengaduk resin. Lap untuk membersihkan tetesan dari tumpahan resin. Meja yang cukup besar dan datar untuk bekerja.

We Do For Love

2009-06-18T01:42:00.000-07:00

The list is long of the things we have all done to find, get and keep love in our life. Abandoning our authentic selves to become some variety of whomever you want me to be ranks among the top few. At some point we learned this was a good idea; probably the same place we all learned a version of this, from our parents, who learned from theirs, and so on. We are imprinted with the belief that love has to be earned-or, at minimum, looks a certain way. (IE. I do this or that and then you'll love me.) Dr. Helen Fisher, whom I greatly esteem, calls this your love map.

I, too, strongly recommend that you know what your relationship pattern or map looks like. Intimately! Otherwise you end up falling victim to the unconscious loop that most of us repeat over and over, and NOT in a good way. Your pattern may look like: you always attract people who cheat, are narcissists, are abusive, have no drive, are alcoholic or addicted to pornography, or perhaps they just can't seem to tell the truth about anything (especially when it comes to where they have been and who with); maybe they are blamers, have anger problems or won't commit. And no matter what you do, it seems, oops there I go again, I attracted another (fill in the blank). Whatever your love map looks like (my latest book, Hindsight, offers you a great exercise on how to identify your love patterns) there is hope. And something we can do about it.

Making the distinction between who I am being (my persona or inauthentic self) and my true self (or authentic self) is the first step in the process of awakening, which leads to the eventual shift from unconsciously and reflexively choosing the same type of relationship over and over again. For me this was part of a larger portal through which I passed and left what wasn't working (and who) behind for a more authentic life filled with great freedom of being. This portal, I call becoming internally referenced-making the distinction between who you are and who you are not-and it's absolutely fundamental to having a great relationship.

Over the last 25 years of working in the personal development industry I have learned some amazing things, some absolutely life-altering truths that have become creed because they were ultimately irrefutable (true whether or not I believed them).

And few rival my understanding of what love is NOT:

Chemistry is not love. Chemistry is...well...chemistry.

Desire is not love. Hmmm, yeah, it's more like being addicted to the feeling of wanting something you can't have, so you set yourself up again and again to feel it! Desire junkies salute!

Longing, nope, not love! Too many Cinderella or Pretty Woman episodes.

Feeling lovesick, uh uh, NOT. Smacks of love map laced with abandonment issues.

Infatuation, often confused with love, is a strong psychological projection onto the love object.

Lust, hmmm, a biological function designed to procreate. (Period.)

Abuse, definitely NOT. Usually a direct connection to our low- or no-self-esteem!

Neglect, no, not love either. There's always time for some loving exchange!

Indifference. Ouch. Nope. Not likely. More likely booty call, or they're just not into you at all!

For me, making this/these distinctions saved me a whole hellavalotta heart ache. I learned to make better choices and found that I respected myself even more when I focused on what was real and authentic about myself, rather than focusing on trying to figure out who you wanted or needed me to be. At first, like with many things, I had a tough time believing this was true and still find I can get caught in that trap. But overall, this awareness makes it possible for us to attract and create a healthy, loving relationship rather than one based on deserve and reward~

The Many Benefits of Learning to Dance

2009-06-16T00:26:00.000-07:00

Has this ever happened to you; you are out with friends and everyone gets up to danc e, everyone except you that is. You watch as they seem to be having the time of their lives, while you are sitting at the table all alone.

What is holding you back? For some it is shyness. These individuals simply do not want to be the focus of attention. But if you look closer at that, it could be that they do not have any confidence in their skills when it comes to dancing. We have all heard, Dance like no one is watching, but few of us actually do that. We are concerned with making the proper moves, which of course, requires a certain degree of coordination.

What options do these people have; the people that are too shy to learn as they go so to speak. They can either spend the rest of their lives wishing they could dance, or they can learn how. The obvious way to do that is dancing lessons; private dancing lessons. But the cost of private dancing lessons is huge. It is out of the question for most of us.

The sad thing is that learning to dance can help boost the confidence and self-esteem of a person. It is a great way to overcome shyness. Besides that, dancing increases the opportunities for an active social life. It opens lots of doors to new places to go and people to meet.

Besides all of that, dancing is a great way to stay in shape. It helps to burn calories and keep one fit and tone. It can replace grueling exercise routines with the fun of dancing. If your partner joins in the bond between the two of you can be strengthened. After all, learning and playing together is a great way to keep in touch on a real level.

Home Based Business

2009-06-15T07:37:00.001-07:00

There are many people in a home based business industry that never achieve success and always think that the reason other people achieve success is because of pure luck. I can definitely understand their feeling because they feel that they've worked hard enough and that only luck will get you to be successful. I can honestly tell you that if you ask anybody who is successful if it has been just luck, they will be angry because success is hard work.

The process of success takes a lot of time and a lot of learning that you must go through. Only those who are mentally strong will be able to be successful and go through the obstacles that they're going to face. If you are serious about achieving home based business success and stop thinking that is pure luck and get to work. You must first understand that is going to take you some time and it will not happen overnight. Once you are able to understand this and it's time to introduce you to a method that's going to help you achieve success.

Anyone who has been successful in a home based business knows the importance of having a great and effective promotional method. The promotional method that has work for me and many others has been article marketing. This is the concept of creating fresh new content in the form of articles that search engines pick up as people putting questions in the search engine.

The great thing about this concept is that it only requires you to invest your time and it does not require any sort of money. But do not be fooled because is a tough thing to do because you have to stay consistent doing it. I'm sure that if you are serious as I think you are you will do what it takes to be successful.

EBay Income Possibilities.

EBay Income Possibilities.

If you've ever read an article about eBay, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make - it isn't unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay.

Next time you're on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers there are: you'll find quite a few. Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, as that's eBay's requirement for becoming a PowerSeller. Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000. The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller, and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every month!

The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the income possibilities here. Most of them never set out to even set up a business on eBay - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling things on eBay, and some of them have been doing it for years now. Can you imagine that? Once they've bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for these people - they don't need to pay for any business premises, staff, or anything else. There are multi-million pound businesses making less in actual profit than eBay PowerSellers do.

Even if you don't want to quit your job and really go for it, you can still use eBay to make a significant second income. You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to the post office for delivery each Saturday. There are few other things you could be doing with your spare time that have anywhere near that kind of earning potential.

What's more, eBay doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like: some PowerSellers are very old, or very young. Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being very poor. eBay tears down the barriers to earning that the real world constantly puts up. There's no job interview and no commuting involved - if you can post things, you can do it.

Put it this way: if you know where to get something reasonably cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay - and since you can always get discounts for bulk at wholesale, that's not exactly difficult. Buy a job lot of something in-demand cheaply, sell it on eBay, and you're making money already, with no set-up costs.

If you want to dip your toe in the water before you commit to actually buying anything, then you can just sell things that you've got lying around in the house. Search through that cupboard of stuff you never use, and you'll probably find you've got a few hundred dollars' worth of stuff lying around in there! This is the power of eBay: there is always someone who wants what you're selling, whatever it might be, and since they've come looking for you, you don't even need to do anything to get them to buy it.

So you want to get started on eBay? Well, that's great! There are only a few little things you need to learn to get started. Our next email will give you the lowdown.

Ebay Marketing The 1st ten Years.

2009-06-11T05:46:00.000-07:00

eBay: The 1st ten Years.

Sure, you read that correctly: 10 years. eBay comprised produced in September 1995, by a adult male called Pierre Omidyar, who was living in San Jose. He desired his site - then addressed 'AuctionWeb' - to be an online marketplace, and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind in the world. The name 'eBay' comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company's name was Echo Bay, and the 'eBay AuctionWeb' was in the beginning just one part of Echo Bay's website at ebay.com. The first thing ever sold on the site was Omidyar's broken laser pointer, which he got $14 for.

The site quickly became massively popular, as sellers came to list all sorts of odd things and buyers actually bought them. Relying on trust seemed to work remarkably well, and meant that the site could almost be left alone to run itself. The site had been designed from the start to collect a small fee on each sale, and it was this money that Omidyar used to pay for AuctionWeb's expansion. The fees quickly added up to more than his current salary, and so he decided to quit his job and work on the site full-time. It was at this point, in 1996, that he added the feedback facilities, to let buyers and sellers rate each other and make buying and selling safer.

In 1997, Omidyar changed AuctionWeb's - and his company's - name to 'eBay', which is what people had been calling the site for a long time. He began to spend a lot of money on advertising, and had the eBay logo designed. It was in this year that the one-millionth item was sold (it was a toy version of Big Bird from Sesame Street).

Then, in 1998 - the peak of the dotcom boom - eBay became big business, and the investment in Internet businesses at the time allowed it to bring in senior managers and business strategists, who took in public on the stock market. It started to encourage people to sell more than just collectibles, and quickly became a massive site where you could sell anything, large or small. Unlike other sites, though, eBay came through the end of the boom, and is still going strong today.

1999 saw eBay go worldwide, launching sites in the Britain, Australia and Germany. eBay bought half.com, an Amazon-like online retailer, in the year 2000 - as is year it introduced Buy it Now - and bought PayPal, an online payment service, in 2002.

Pierre Omidyar has now earned an estimated $3 billion from eBay, and still serves as Chairman of the Board. Oddly enough, he keeps a personal weblog at http://pierre.typepad.com. There are now literally millions of items bought and sold every day on eBay, all over the world. For every $100 spent online worldwide, it is estimated that $14 is spent on eBay - that's a lot of laser pointers.

Now that you know the history of eBay, perhaps you would like to know how it could work for you? Our following email will give you an idea of the possibilities.
