Finding Lost Children

2007-11-16T17:09:00.000-08:00

A couple of days ago I had to go to a dealership to get my car fixed. I am not implying that I don't want my car to have children, because who am I to make that choice? More so, I was sent a letter about a recall on one of the parts (the hazards, actually), meaning that the dealership was obligated to fix my car while I watched television and drank free coffee from a vending machine

"This is quite a deal," you may be thinking.

And I suppose it is. My philosophy was that for every ten minutes I had to wait, I would drink a different variation of coffee. "That'll show 'em to recall my parts," I thought. It didn't matter that I was up all night, a fact that may have been due more to the excitement of the day as opposed to the caffeine anyway. But in truth, it's not this coffee that intrigued me earlier today. It was the three-chambered snack machine next to it that contained M&Ms, nuts and Mike & Ikes. Granted, Mike and Ike are both nuts as actual people. That much has already been documented. However, the truly nutty aspect of this was a typewritten note attached to this machine which read, "Please be honest: this machine helps to find homeless children." Wow, to think that I thought this only dispensed candy, when it actually has the power to locate lost kids. That's one powerful machine, even more so than the coffee machine which happened to double as a hot chocolate maker

I don't mean to personalize this column to merely address one machine at a random car dealership of which I am not mentioning the name. However, this is an example of what bad wording and grammar can do for a dealership. Once others spot the sentence on the machine, no doubt sobbing mothers will be pleading the machine to find long lost Tommy and Mary, when in reality all the mothers will be offered is a handful of pistachios. Some would argue that this is good enough, but I beg to differ -- because that's the type of person I am...

Or, maybe this isn't false advertising after all. Maybe this one machine can find children by taking advantage of the fact that kids love M&Ms. This is a fact just as well-known as broccoli being green, or greens sometimes being broccoli. So perhaps the kids will smell the candy from wherever they're at, and then come running to the dealership, hopefully looking both ways while passing each of the parked cars...

Regardless of the actual power of this machine, I left the dealership with fixed hazards, as well as with the knowledge that there are some lost kids out there -- and it's no wonder, considering that the only way we reach out to them is by placing machines in locations they will never think to enter...

But I digress.

Learn How Social Networking Is A Great Way To Help Your Business

2007-11-14T17:46:00.000-08:00

If you ever thought you didn't have to network in todays business world you are dead wrong. Networking is a great way to meet people of like mind or that have a different outlook. It is also a great way to take some of the ideas that you may have found out through networking and implement them into your own business.

It doesn't even matter if is in a different business field, you still would be able to learn something from them. One thing that I have learned about networking is that it is a great way to increase your income for your business. You might have a product or a service that you don't provide, but you could easily refer them to your business network for a small fee. So as you can see you can't afford NOT to network.

Word of mouth advertisement is also great through your business network, this is a great way to increase your business for free! Always keep the communication line open with your networks. In todays society your business is dead if you don't network. That's one of the main reasons why I have been so successful in my business is through networking. You should also be a leader in your business field, especially if you are in the network marketing field. You must be able to communicate with your downline because if you don't you will be just recruiting people that will not produce any sales. That's the key to longevity in this business!

My name is Patrick Kallie with Unique Satellite. I have been an online marketer since 2000 and have enjoyed every bit of it. Marketing satellite tv is my calling, I also have one of the largest group of satellite tv affliates that get all of my knowledge passed to them.

Move Your Body, Move Your Mind

2007-11-13T13:38:00.000-08:00

Keep your knees locked! Hold your arms straight until they hurt! If you feel pain, good for yousomething is happening

Ah, the soft and tender words coming from my militant hot-yoga instructornot exactly soothing. Isnt yoga supposed to be relaxing, you ask? Not the kind Ive been doing for a while. I prefer to think of it as bootcamp yoga: an hour and a half dripping with sweat in a very hot room, often practising next to someone who had too much garlic at dinner last night, contorting myself into positions that make my head want to explode, while feeling murderous towards the teacherwelcome to my form of heaven.

Do I enjoy torturing myself this way three times a week come rain or shine? NO. Do I often get into the hot room and want to run out the door screaming? YES. Do I pay a lot of money to go through this torture? YES. Am I glad I do it? ABSOLUTELY.

You may be scratching your head in confusion at this point and I totally understand why. But when I tell you the real reason I do this exercise regime three times a week religiously, suffering and cursing the entire time, youll understand where Im coming from.

At the age of 36, Ive gotten a bit wiser when it comes to health and taking care of my body. Gone are the days of starving myself or overeating and then punishing myself through exercise. Believe it or not, I absolutely LOVE exercise now. Not because it makes me skinny (nothing will do that due to having the pulchritudinous physique of my shapely Jewish female ancestors which I have come to learn is purely genetic). However, regular exercise does keep me at a healthy weight for my size and stops me from obsessing about my body and food (except during PMS when my body and mind are overtaken by some form of alien life who temporarily makes me think that chocolate is in itself, an entire food group and that excess water in the tummy area is a must-have).

The reason I love exercise now is how it makes me feel AFTERWARDS. You see, after I leave an exercise class, I am transformed. No matter how crappy, miserable, sad, or angry I am feeling before I exercise, for some incredible reason, I consistently feel energized, positive, relaxed, and peaceful after a good workout. And so do many of the women I know. Now we know from brain research that exercise boosts serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter in our brains, increases endorphins; chemicals in our bodies that make us feel happy and neighbourly, and relaxes our muscles, which in turn, relaxes our mind.

I encourage all of my clients to follow a regular, three-times-a-week exercise regime of their choice as the first step in improving their mental health. I have not met one single person who has adopted this healthy lifestyle habit who has not greatly improved their mood, productivity, and reduced stress in their lives as a result. I know we hear it over and over again about exercising regularly, but being the stubborn self-willed person that I am, I have finally accepted that other people are wise when they espouse this concept and its not a conspiracy to make me conform to some strange cult.

I have witnessed countless womens mental health improve vastly from including regular exercise into their lives including recovery from depression, anxiety, disordered eating, post-traumatic stress, and many other issues.

I especially recommend regular exercise for women who are suffering from the effects of being in any kind of abusive relationship where they were systematically stripped of their dignity, sense of worth, and faith in their abilities. Vigorous exercise in this case, especially something like kickboxing, can be extremely empowering and help you to overcome feelings of worthlessness and toxic shame. Through the act of exercising, you can transform a negative self-concept into one of power, strength, and awareness of your abilities and gifts.

In my therapy practise, I have discovered that many women are weighed down with depression or anxiety and that what is often underneath those labels is suppressed anger and/or grief. Being in our bodies and expressing ourselves physically through regular exercise is a fabulous way of releasing emotions that have been stuffed down for a long time.

Exercise can be extremely helpful in moving our feelings up and out of the body and can thus free up energy and leave us feeling lighter, stronger, and more peaceful and in control of our destiny.

There are so many wonderful, exhilarating, and enjoyable forms of exercise out there. Check them all out, try them out, and find the one(s) that you feel the best doing. Experiment and have fun!

To end, Ill leave you with some very inspiring reasons for working out regularly

Esthers Top Ten Reasons to Exercise regularly:

1.Time for yourself- you get to leave all the people and things that you feel responsible for behind for a time and just focus on yourself

2.Lifts your mood and helps you feel more positive

3.Stops you from obsessing about your body size and shape (in most cases- if you are really prone to this, try a form of exercise that focuses on how you feel on the inside; not how you look on the outside- focus on becoming strong and feeling good emotionally).

4.Gives you a sense of routine which can help you feel more grounded emotionally

5.Gets you out into the world connecting with people you may not meet otherwise

6.Increases your self-esteem as you grow stronger and feel fit

7.Normalizes metabolism which helps you gain or lose weight depending on what is best for your body

8.Improves your sex drive- not a bad side effect, huh?

9.Makes you nicer to be around because youre happier, healthier, and calmer

10.Helps you get out of your head and into your body; this is great for us thinkers and analyzers

So go hop on a bike, take the dog out for a walk, or crank up the stereo and boogie up a storm in the living room - youll feel better as a result!

Merchant Accounts and Other Payment Solutions

2007-11-10T13:08:00.000-08:00

There are several online businessmen who think that they dont need a merchant account and can easily carry out financial transaction using other payment processing option like Paypal, Authorize Net, WorldPay, No Chex, FastPay, Website Payment Pro, Barclaycard e PDQ and others. But do any of these options match up to the service quality and security offered by merchant account service providers.

The first argument favoring Merchant accounts is that it offers international transactions. Most other alternative payment options are restricted to inbound transactions. For example FastPay, No Chex and Barclaycard e PDQ can be used by British customers while Authorize Net and Website Payment Pro can only be used by people living in the United States. Then there are international processing options like Paypal and WorldPay that allow a businessman carry out international transactions. But the word international needs to be used in a limited sense, since even PayPal is not is available in not available in number of counties.

Moreover if currency conversion is involved, PayPal has its own conversion rate which it keeps changing depending on market conditions. This usually works out to about 5% more than the international bank rate.

Moreover PayPal has a notorious reputation of withholding money over due to fickle reasons causing both parties a lot of undue stress.

Customers find it very hard to get in touch with PayPal representatives as they dont give their contact numbers to their customers. But technical support staff of merchant services can be reached at all hours of the day, usually though toll free numbers.

But the most important difference that tilts the balance firmly in favor of merchant accounts is that the customers are not required to have a merchant account. This is not the case with PayPal where both the parties the buyer and the seller are required to have PayPal accounts. This is a huge inconvenience for most people.

So its obvious that merchant accounts offer the best services at convenient prices. Now by logging on to Advanced Merchant Services you can find out about the number of other unique advantages offered by AMS. Advanced Merchant Services not only authorize your merchant account with 24 hours but will also provide you with a free credit card terminal with each new account. AMS also offers a rebate of $200 dollars to anyone who processes $10,000 in any of the first three months of the service.

So log on to http://www.merchant-accounts.com experience the benefits of AMS.

How Car Donation Services Work

2007-11-05T17:58:00.000-08:00

If you have an old car which is no longer necessary to keep your family mobile, but dont want the hassle of trying to sell it yourself, you may still be able to rid yourself of it and receive a nice tax benefit in return. Even better, youll be doing the less fortunate a good turn. Just how will you accomplish all this?

Donating Your Car to Charity
You can donate your car to charity. In doing so, youll be able to deduct the greater of its fair market value or the amount it sells for if auctioned off to raise money for the charity. Even if the charity keeps you car and uses it in its work, the deduction is applicable because it is being used for a charitable purpose. Even if the car no longer runs, it may be sold for parts and the proceeds donated.

And whenever you see or hear of the good work your chosen charity is doing in your community, you can give yourself a pat on the back. You may even see the old wheels busily at work delivering food to the hungry or transporting senior citizens to their doctors appointments. Your act of benevolence will pay you back may times over!

But you must be very careful, in donating your car, that it goes to a charity recognized as legitimate by the IRS, or your deduction will be disallowed. Rather than being confronted by that particularly nasty can of worms, you can turn to one of the many car donation services to make sure that your charitable donation goes to an actual charity.

How Car Donation Services Work
If youre not familiar with an area, the local car donation services will help by providing you with lists of their charities, and you can hone in on the one which you would most like to help. Many of these car donation services will be state, or even federally, funded, and other car donation services do what they do simply because they want to help a specific charity.

There are a few car donation services, however, who are in the business to make money, either taking a commission on the sales price of your care, or receiving a fee from the charity for referring you to them.

If youd like to make sure that as much as possible of the proceeds from your car get to the charity as you intend, make a point of asking any of the car donation services which you contact how much of its ales price they keep for themselves. Scratch those that dont give you a clear answer off your list of choices.

Car donation services will assist you in filling out all the necessary forms to make sure your donation goes as smoothly as it can. So if youre really tired of having the old jalopy sitting forlorn at the end of your driveway, give it a chance to get back on the road by contacting a car donation service!

You can also find more info on Car Donation In Florida and Car Donation In Portland. 1cardonationservices.com is a comprehensive resource to know about Car Donation.

Is Breastfeeding Truly Best?

2007-11-03T16:32:00.000-07:00

If youre expecting a baby youve undoubtedly heard that breast is best. Breastfed babies are healthier. They are less likely to have diarrhea, suffer from ear infections, develop allergies. They have better immune systems, better protection against SIDS, and are less likely to need braces, become obese, or develop certain childhood cancers. They are even smarter. Approximately 13,000 studies document these and other benefits of breastfeeding.

But Diane Wiessinger, an internationally board certified lactation consultant in upstate New York, argues that these statements are actually wrong. When we say breastfed babies are healthier, to whom are we comparing them? To formula-fed babies, of course. But although formula feeding may be the cultural norm, it is clearly not the biological norm.

Think about it. Everyone knows the risks of smoking and obesity. People who smoke are more likely to develop lung cancer. People who are obese are more likely to suffer from heart disease and diabetes. But more likely than whom? Than non-smokers and people of normal weight. In both of these examples, the biological norm is the basis for comparison. The researchers who design the studies always take non-smokers and people of normal weight as the control groups.

But this isnt the case with breastfeeding. Here, for example, is a paragraph I came across recently in an issue of a popular parenting magazine: If someone told you theres an elixir that could help protect your new baby from bronchitis, ear infections, pneumonia, diarrhea and urinary tract infections, would you want to know more? If you knew that the effects of this concoction would last into your childs teenage years, reducing his risk for diabetes, allergies and high blood pressure, would you just have to have it? If the same potion might boost his IQ, wouldnt you rush out to find it as soon as you could?

What if the same paragraph were written comparing formula-fed infants to breast-fed infants? It might read something like this: If someone told you theres a concoction that would reduce your babys protection from bronchitis, ear infections, pneumonia, diarrhea and urinary tract infections, would you want to know more? If you knew that the effects of this mixture would last into your childs teenage years, increasing his risk for diabetes, allergies and high blood pressure, would you insist on avoiding it? If the same potion might lower his IQ, wouldnt you stay away from it, if at all possible? To be sure, the message sounds more severe. And this is exactly what health care providers, magazine editors and formula manufacturers want to avoid. Often times, people are afraid of making women feel guilty so they soften the message. A first-time mother, for example, told me about the approach her doctor took. My ob-gyn didnt push breastfeeding, she recalls, but he didnt not push it. He gave me a free Enfamil diaper bag with formula inside. It is this kind of objectivity that prevents us from making fully informed choices. Plain and simple, breast milk and formula are not equivalent substances.

To be sure, the media is full of stories from women who feel guilty for not being able to breastfeed. But anthropologist and breastfeeding advocate Katherine Dettwyler asserts that guilt and regret are two separate emotions. If we make the best decision with whatever information and resources we have at the time, we have no reason to feel guilty. Psychologist Harriet Lerner, cautions against internalizing guilt. Try to remember, she writes, that our society encourages mothers to cultivate guilt like a little flower garden, because nothing blocks the awareness and expression of legitimate anger as this all consuming emotion.

And without accurate information, women have every right to be angry. Not every woman is able to breastfeed (although most are) and not every woman wants to. But just like we have the right to know the benefits and risks of other substances we put into our bodies, we deserve the right to make fully informed decisions about how we feed our babies.

So as you read about breastfeeding, remember: breast is not best. It is simply normal.

Fraud Risks - Protect Your Credit Card Information

2007-11-01T19:10:00.001-07:00

Credit card fraud is fast becoming the most common financial crime in the world today. As a result, hundreds of millions of dollars are being drained annually from credit card holders and credit card issuers by unscrupulous criminals. In order to avoid the pitfalls of credit card fraud there are some basic things you can do to protect yourself.

Before looking at what can be done to prevent fraud from occurring, listing common situations where the fraud commonly takes place can be a helpful exercise. The scary fact is, all a would-be thief needs in order to begin wreaking havoc on your finances is your credit card number and the 3 digit CVV (Card Verification Number) located on the back of the card.

Common Fraud Risks:
Internet phishing (fish-ing) is a popular method getting you to surrender your personal information. You will receive and email from an unknown sender claiming to be a legitimate business asking to update or provide them with your personal information including banking and credit card details.

If you have a telephone you have received a call at some point stating: Congratulations you have just won an all expense paid vacation to The person on the line will tell you that all you need to do to qualify for the prize is join their club by providing your credit card information for age verification. This form of fraud comes at you from the phone, mail and internet.

When making a purchase at a place like a restaurant or gas station where the employee walks out of your sight with your credit card to complete your purchase they can easily record your information.

Some thieves are technically savvy and carry a portable card reader. They will give your card an extra swipe when they ring in your purchase at POS terminals. They get creative with this. I read a story where criminal set up a sign in a mall close to an ATM. The sign looked nice and said Free Debit and Credit Card Cleaning. Attached to the sign was a portable card reader. The would be thief was apprehended when he returned to retrieve his Credit Card Cleaner. One swipe of your card using these card readers and all of your credit card and personal information is recorded.

Thieves that go through your trash looking for receipts or bills with your credit card information.

There is no perfect way to protect your information from being stolen, but take the following suggestions into consideration and you will make yourself less vulnerable to an attack.

When handing your credit card to a cashier, attendant or waitress watch what they do with the card if possible. Your card should only be swiped once through either their register or a debit/credit terminal. For regular everyday purchases there is no reason why your card information should be copied by hand.

Be very careful about giving out your credit card information over the phone. If you are skeptical of the source chances are you have a reason to be.

On the internet make sure you only provide your information to sites that are secure. If you see https:// at the beginning or the URL you are about to enter your credit card information on the site is secure. The s indicates the site has a valid SSL Certificate installed on the web server ensuring any data you enter into forms on the website cannot be intercepted and deciphered by would be cyber criminals. This does not guarantee that the website itself is not run by criminals, only that your data cannot be intercepted during transmission, an important point to understand.

Do not write down your credit card number as a note anywhere. Always use the card itself when referencing the number. When disposing of any paperwork containing personal information use a paper shredder to shred it.

Always keep your receipts from any purchase you make with your credit card and open your bills every month even if you did not make a purchase to ensure there are no extra charges on the bill.

The bottom line is to be aware that credit card fraud is a lucrative business for criminal gangs and they are going to constantly push the envelope to find more devious ways to get your personal information.

There are some credit cards that are secure in more ways than others such as providing an additional level of security for online purchases. Review the features list for several credit card offers to find the one that provides the level of security and buyer protection that guards you to a level you are comfortable with while still providing the card perks you want.
