People often feel frustrated that their computer is often slow and does not respond properly, especially older computers. Often, users resort to buying a new computer as they deemed that there is no solution for this. Most tools that had been used by computer owners are often good for only cleaning some files and then deleting the rest of the important system files and data that can greatly affects the performance of their computers.

One thing I hate about Classified Ad Sites is that they suck! Each site has their own reasons for sucking. There are two classified ad sites I use: Craigslist and Classifieds For Free. I will explain what makes these two sites suck. Both are free sites, so you can't expect perfection, but their suckage is frustrating.<br />
<br />
Craigslist sucks because they are a bunch of freedom of speech violators. Craigslist will flag your post for removal for no legitimate reason, other than to say you violated terms of service. That's a load of crap. What's bad about Craigslist is anybody can have your post flagged for removal. You can have your post flagged for removal just because someone doesn't like you. Craigslist also doesn't like when you post certain stuff in their forums. You want to complain about an ad, and you post your complaint in the forum, they tell you it's the wrong place to post your ad. It's another load of bull crap. <br />
<br />
Most people don't trust Craigslist anyway because of all the scams on there, but you can't post about a scam regarding an ad on their forum because they'll tell you you are wasting space by posting to the wrong forum. I guess I can call the people at Craigslist hypocrites because they themselves are freedom of speech violators by their own complaining. They think they're right and everyone else is wrong.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Classifieds For Free doesn't suck in the same respect as Craigslist since Classifieds For Free accepts any ad you post. However, they have their own reason for suckage. Classifieds For Free sucks because every now and then you will get some error on your userid. The error will be something like this:<br />
<h3 style="background-color: white;">
Fatal: Operation failed while performing SELECT count(AdID) FROM ad where UserID='jb529' because: Table '.\classif\ad' is marked as crashed and should be repaired</h3>
<div>
Here's the situation: your ads expire after a week, so you have to renew your ads everyday, or a least every 3 days to make sure they stay active. It seems Classifieds For Free does not seem to care about fixing their errors because they take at least a week or more to fix the above error. The error will keep you from being able to renew your ads, and by the time the error is fixed, your ads have expired. This means your ads will not show, and you have to start over from scratch. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have had the above error occur twice recently and have had to start over with reposting ads. Because of this, any ad I post to Classifieds For Free will also be posted here as a comment so when this happens again I will be able to retrieve my ads and repost them when I am able to. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is why Classifieds For Free suck big time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One classified ad site that does not suck is <a href="http://www.backpage.com/157859484" target="_blank">Backpage</a>. It's design is similar to that of Craigslist, but at least you don't have your ads flagged for removal just because someone does not like you. You can pretty much place any ad you want for free for most niches; you will just have to renew you ad every several months. However, if you want to post any ad related to the Adult Industry, you will have to pay.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I understand you probably want to place ads with as little to no money as possible, but since the Adult Industry (whether dating, chat, or anything else in this industry) can be financially rewarding for an affiliate in this industry, it might be well worthwhile to pay to place these types of ads on <a href="http://batonrouge.backpage.com/adult/Category?key=AdultJobs&id=157859484" target="_blank">Backpage</a>. The Adult Industry attracts thousands of customers no matter where the economy stands, and so if you make just a small investment, the return on investment can be highly rewarding making a substantial income. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is why a lot of classified ad sites suck. This is also why Backpage has a thumbs up from me. Sure there are scams that come out of Backpage ads, and I've seen and read about victims of these scams in the media. However, there are a lot of users on <a href="http://batonrouge.backpage.com/adult/Category?key=AdultJobs&id=157859484" target="_blank">Backpage</a> with good intentions. You can be one of those.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With my rant on why classified ad sites suck, I'll leave it as I have written. Should I come up with more reasons, I will post as a comment, and if you come up with more sites that suck, feel free to comment. As I said above, as I repost my ads on Classifieds For Free, I will also post my ads as comments to this post.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Warning! Do not sign up for a television service for your PC until you’ve read this.</b></span><br />

<br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
So, you’re fed up with paying outrageous cable bills, and are ready to make the switch to watching TV on your computer. Before you do there is something you need to know: Not all satellite services are created equal. In fact, most television for PC services are downright terrible. With poor picture quality, outdated software, lousy customer service, and limited access to the channels you really want to see, many satellite for PC providers just aren’t worth making the switch.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong>That’s where Satellite Direct comes in.</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
Named by Interactive Media Magazine as “Unequivocally the best TV to PC software on the net”, Satellite Direct is your best bet when it comes to watching television from the comfort of your home computer or laptop. Forget subscriptions or monthly fees… Satellite Direct brings you unlimited access to over 3,500 channels- including premium movie channels and all of the best sports stations. </div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
Additionally, with Satellite Direct, you also get dozens of hard to find international channels. And you never have to worry about bandwidth signals or poor picture or sound quality. It’s like having the best of cable or satellite television- without ever having to pay the outrageous monthly bills again!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
In fact, a lifetime of Satellite Direct<strong> costs about half of what you would pay</strong> for just one month of comparable service from your current cable or satellite provider. Why pay over $100 a month for cable?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong>For a one time price of just $49.95, you can have 24/7 access to thousands of channels- with no hidden fees, ever.</strong></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Tomorrow being 12/21/12 seems to have a lot of people believing the world will end tomorrow according to Mayan prophesy, but is it really the end, or is it a new beginning. The Mayans believed in cycles that last around 5200 years, and they believed this cycle of 5200 years would end on 12/21/12. So if this is correct, we can be positive and say this is the end of an old cycle and the beginning of a new one.<br />
<br />
As the title of this post suggests as per the R.E.M. song, it may be the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine. That's right, it's the end of the world as we know it, but the beginning of the world as we will soon experience. This will be something new that we will begin to learn and will be enlightening. Maybe it's a new beginning for us all.<br />
<br />
With this, maybe we will all go through a spiritual rebirth, a spiritual cleansing. This could be something to improve us spiritually, which will also improve us physically and emotionally, thus bringing us into prosperity.<br />
<br />
Maybe the new cycle will improve your financial well-being. Maybe your heart will bring you to do something for yourself, such as starting your own business. This could be something to set you free by taking charge of something you can control by creating something from your own creative mind that you can share with others. <br />
<br />
Although the world is not actually ending tomorrow, a lot of businesses are offering "End of the World" sales, and if you are looking to start a business in the new cycle, you will still need a website to get the word out about your business. You will also need hosting for your website. Host Gator is offering an "End of the World" sale tomorrow, 12/21/12, where for a limited time you can get 50% off hosting and domains for $1.95. Yes, you will need a domain name as well, and hopefully your newly creative thinking will come up with some catchy name for your website and/or business. <br />
<br />
A lot of people I know use Host Gator for their web hosting, not only for hosting their business's website but also for hosting personal and family/friends oriented websites. People trust a highly reputable company such as Host Gator, and will continue to do so into the new cycle.<br />
<br />
So as we go into the next cycle, let's see how our newly enlightened lives will help us to see and go beyond our present potential into new realms.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Huge population centers around Lake Ontario in Canada have always attracted cross border shopping into the United States, and as Black Friday became more popular in the U.S., Canadians often flocked to the U.S. because of their cheaper prices and a stronger Canadian dollar. After 2001, many were traveling for the deals across the border. In 2009 several major Canadian retailers had their own version of the day by running promotions to discourage shoppers from leaving for the U.S. Canada's Boxing Day is comparable to Black Friday in terms of retailer impact and consumerism, but Black Fridays in the U.S. seem to provide deeper or more extreme price cuts than Canadian retailers, even for the same international retailer.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">More recently, Black Friday has been exported to nations outside of North America such the United Kingdom by major online retailers like Amazon or Apple. In 2011, IBM reported online Black Friday sales were up 24.3% according to a study that included 500 retailers.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Origin of the term</span></b><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Black Friday as a term has been used in many contexts dating back to the nineteenth century where in 1869 it was associated with a financial crisis in the United States. The earliest known reference to "Black Friday" as a shopping day the day after Thanksgiving was made in a public relations newsletter from 1961 that is clear on the negative implications of the name and its origin in Philadelphia.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">For downtown merchants throughout the nation, the biggest shopping days are normally the days immediately following Thanksgiving Day. This resulted in traffic jams that became an irksome problem to police, and in Philadelphia it became customary for police officers to refer to the post-Thanksgiving days as Black Friday and Black Saturday. This was hardly a stimulus for good business. The problem was discussed by the merchants with their Deputy City Representative, Abe S. Rosen, one of the country's most experienced municipal PR executives. He recommended adopting a positive approach that would change the names from Black Friday and Black Saturday to Big Friday and Big Saturday.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The attempt to rename Black Friday was unsuccessful, and its continued use is shown in a 1966 publication on the day's significance in Philadelphia:</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">JANUARY 1966 – "Black Friday" is the name which the Philadelphia Police Department has given to the Friday following Thanksgiving Day. It is not a term of endearment to them. "Black Friday" officially opens the Christmas shopping season in the city center, and it usually brings massive traffic jams and over-crowded sidewalks as the downtown stores are mobbed from opening to closing.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The term Black Friday began to get wider exposure around 1975, as shown by two newspaper articles from November 29, 1975, both datelined Philadelphia. The first reference is in an article entitled "Army vs. Navy: A Dimming Splendor," in The New York Times.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently I came up with the philosophy of Stop Thinking
Start Doing. In fact, I’m still trying
to teach myself to follow this philosophy.
I also had to start writing this as soon as the idea came into my head
so that I don’t think too much about it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why is it that we think too much and not do enough? What are we waiting for? It’s great to want to think about doing
something, yet we procrastinate and procrastinate until we eventually give up
because we haven’t started, or until our time on this Earth expires. I mean, it’s great to think about it, but if
we don’t do it, it’s never going to happen.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s not going to do itself; we have to do it. This book is not going to write itself. I have to write it. So why do we think so much and not do
anything? Is it because we are
scared? Is it because we will not profit
from doing it? Is it because we are
going to fail? Is it because we are
going to succeed?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will admit, I feel scared.
I guess it’s the idea of taking that leap that could change my
life. For most of my life, I’ve felt
like thinking of the idea gave me some sense of satisfaction. I sit there thinking of the success that
could come to me, and it gives me a temporary sense of success. That is, until I realize that just thinking
about it is not going to make it happen.
I wish my mind had the power to just think about something and it just
happens. Unfortunately, my mind is not
that strong. My mind can think all it
wants, but until I do something, that something is never going to happen,
except in my mind. I live in reality,
not a fantasy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes I think, do I not want to at least try something
because I am afraid to fail? Am I
worried I will be made fun of or ridiculed?
Am I afraid I will not profit from what I can do? Is it not only that I’m afraid I will fail,
but that I’m also afraid that I will succeed?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me, I believe it’s both.
Like a lot of us, I feel that I’ve grown comfortable in my routine
lifestyle that I’m afraid to step out of my comfort zone. The thing is, we are meant to expand
ourselves, not just confine ourselves to our comfort zone. We are meant to achieve greatness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you are given an opportunity, you can’t just sit there
thinking whether or not you want to take it, nor can you think too much about
what you will or will not achieve from taking that opportunity. What’s sad about this is opportunities come
at us, but we do not see them. Sometimes
we see them, but we have to think about them, possibly because we are scared
that that opportunity is a life changing event, and event that can bring you
greatness and prosperity. We go through
life changing events all the time, whether it’s going to college, graduating
from college, starting a new job, getting married. But there are other life changing events,
such as acquiring new wealth. The
opportunities we are given can open doors to a greater world, a world we cannot
see staying in our comfort zone. We are
meant to expand ourselves, not stay stagnant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you are out and about and you see that attractive
person of the opposite sex, you should go over and initiate conversation. I understand it may take a drink or two to
loosen up and help you to stop thinking about it, but you cannot wait too long
or you will miss that opportunity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have given myself a challenge that if I do not write
anything on this for a week that what has been written of this shall become a
blog post. However, I wish to keep going
with this writing as it would go against what I would like to accomplish with
this project. If I come up with anything
while I am away from my computer, I shall use the Notes app on my phone to take
some notes and send to myself. This is
why you should always keep your phone with you because you never know when
ideas will pop up in your head. As I
said, you have to take opportunities when they come to you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Talk is cheap.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Money talks.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Learn from experience.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are quotes that wise people not only speak, but also
live by. You can talk talk talk all you
want, but it means absolutely nothing unless you walk the talk. That’s why you can’t just speak, but you have
to live by what you say in order for it to have any sort of impact on yourself
or anyone else. “Learn from experience”
means just that. Many people have to go
through several if not many failed attempts before finally succeeding. What this quote is saying is that you cannot
give up after the first failed attempt.
What you must do is think about what went wrong with that failed attempt
and learn not to make the same mistake in the next failed attempt. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If the second attempt fails, look and see what went wrong in
that attempt. Hopefully, it won’t be the
same thing that went wrong in the first attempt, and same for any future
attempts with any previous attempts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to do something, don’t just talk about it, do
it. If you want to make money from that
something, do it, or at least attempt to do it, and if you fail, look at what
went wrong and try something different.
This is what will lead to success.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, stop hesitating and start doing something. There’s nothing to think about, just do
it. In fact, I have a t-shirt and coffee
mug with the saying “Stop Thinking Start Doing” in my <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/justinbsonlinestore" target="_blank">Zazzle Store</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
I received the following letter in my email yesterday. I thought I'd share it.<br />
_________________________________________________________________________________<br />
<br />
We are looking for some people that are interested in working from their home on a part or full-time basis.<br />
<br />
If you want to earn $100, $200 or even up to $500 a day, and you don't mind writing some short opinions up, this is the perfect opportunity for you!<br />
<br />
We work with hundreds of companies such as 20th Century Fox, Paramount Entertainment, Ford Motor Company, Google and more! We recruit people to fill 1000s of jobs for companies like this every year.<br />
<br />
Many of these jobs are simple online writing tasks, such as blogging about a movie that you recently saw, commenting on what your opinion is of a certain kind of car, proof reading simple documents and more!<br />
<br />
These companies are fighting for exposure on the internet and know the more people blogging about them, means the more exposure they are going to get, and ultimately the more money they are going to make.<br />
<br />
There has been an explosion in the need for online writers, regardless of skill. These companies are more interested in your honest genuine opinions when you're writing blog entries about their company... not if you are a very talented writer.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for work, or just want to make some part time money on the side, please come check out the jobs we have available.<br />
<br />
We are currently accepting new members. Sign Up Below.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Lisa Roberts<br />
Director of HR<br />

<br />
Today, we could all use a little extra income. Most people's incomes are staying stagnant, if not going down, while costs for necessities are increasing. Also, the government is wanting to increase taxes to help with the budget. Any little bit of extra money can help, and for many people, it's hard to find second jobs.<br />
<br />
You can write for companies from the comfort of your home, and you don't have to spend a lot of extra time doing it, just a couple of hours a day. I like to write, and this gives me an opportunity to make a little extra money doing what I like to do. It helps me.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
It seems that the guys responsible for the famous <i>100Winners Arbing Software</i> have found a much more profitable way to make money to complement their Arbing earnings.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine, Cyril, has been a Beta Tester of their system for months (he regularly posts on their Facebook Fanpage that has over 11,000 members), and he has made over $6700 in the last 5 months by placing on $100 bets. <br />
<br />
$100 USD placed per system bet, and he made over $6700!! That`s a nice chunk of change. <br />
<br />
In the world of Sports Investing, thats a gain of 670%! What kind of betting system makes that kind of a return?<br />
<br />
Unlike Arbing where you need to invest thousands just to see a few hundreds, here, you only need to put in a few hundreds to see thousands! The best part: It`s scalable! If he had used $1000 USD bets he would be sitting on $67,000 USD right now! $10,000 and he'd be looking at $670,000!<br />
<br />
No Arbing, no missed picks, and no problems that make duplicating a winning system almost impossible. This is a fully automated system software!<br />
<br />
Even if you only bet $10, you'd be sitting on $670 effortlessly gained.<br />
<br />
Here, what you see is EXACTLY what you get, no ifs, no conditions, and no scammy bookies that try to part you from your hard earned money.<br />
<br />
It`s a bold claim but its absolutely true, and they PROVE IT! It`s really exciting to look beyond old-school picks and to discover new and even easier ways to make money!<br />
<br />
We've been lulled so much into old-school betting systems that it`s hard to see on the outside. We need to break that cycle and stop hopping onto every hype train that comes along. If there's an easier way to make a living, why not embrace it?<br />
<br />
You need to read more of what this <i>Z-Code System</i> is all about. It`s not just Cyril; there are many other winners, in fact, it seems that 100% of the Beta Testers have already raked in profits!<br />
<br />
You have to see this with your own eyes because they want to give us the goods upfront. This means if you access their page now for the next 24 hours only, they will give you:<br />
<br />
The FREE Goodies!<br />
----------------------------------<br />
<br />
a.) FREE Access to 1 daily Z-Code Pick that lets you make money right there.<br />
b.) FREE Access to the Betatesting Facebook group with over 11,000 Fans<br />
<br />
and c.) A FREE 3 Day Profit Journey for you to experience as they prove their system over the next three days showing you everything about how they make the big bucks in under 3 minutes a day!<br />
<br />
----------------------------------<br />
<br />
That's 3 bonuses that you can get right away, but they are only available online for the next 24 hours. <br />
<br />
So, even if you don`t like sports at all, you should definitely check this out! After all, we are in it for the money, right?<br />
<br />
Placing a few bets here and there while making a truckload of mullah will definitely turn into a fun experience. Cyril doesn't know anything about sports much less even cares, but he's still making good money and a nice income on the side, as well as many other people that have been lucky to become selected Beta Testers for Z-Code.<br />
<br />
Do yourself a favor and go check it out, and while you're at it grab all the freebies you can!<br />
<br />
It`s absolutely astounding!<br />
<br />
Update: Seems there are a free Z-Code memberships up for grabs as well, if you hurry!<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">One way to deal with a potential financial burden is to set a <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> budget; another way is to shop year round instead of all at once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can also help you to avoid the large crowds on Black Friday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I would like to do here is discuss the importance of setting a budget for <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> shopping as well as how shopping throughout the year can be less of a financial burden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Those concerned over how much money will be spent on <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> shopping should set a budget before starting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To do this, create a list of all the people you intend to buy for this <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This list should include close friends and family members you usually purchase gifts for as well as any co-workers, your mail carrier, or your children’s teachers for which you may purchase gifts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may also wish to budget for gifts donated to toy drives if you typically contribute during these events.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Once you have your list of gift recipients there are a couple of ways to go about establishing a budget. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The simplest way is to decide how much you plan to spend altogether and divide this amount by the number of gift recipients on your list. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will result in a budget in which you plan to spend the same amount for each person on your list. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may be appropriate if you plan on purchasing similar gifts for each person on your list, but it may not work if you wish to purchase something really special for a few of your closest friends or relatives.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Another strategy for establishing a budget is to determine how much you would like to spend and divide the individuals into different categories. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the categories you might want to include are close friends and relatives, business associates, acquaintances, and for charity drives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you have your list categorized you can determine how much you would like to spend on each category. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example you might decide to spend 50% of your total budget on close friends and relatives, 25% on business associates, 15% on acquaintances, and the remaining 10% on gifts for charity drives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, you can use these numbers to determine the total amount you will spend on each category and divide that number by the total number of people in each category to determine a dollar amount for each person on your list.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">A final strategy for establishing a budget is to determine how much you plan to spend on certain on your list. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will most likely include your closest relatives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you set dollar amounts for your closest relatives, you could divide the remaining amount of money in your budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can either be done arbitrarily by dividing the remaining amount by the remaining people on your list, or you can go through your list selecting a dollar amount for each person until you reach your budget. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this time if there are any remaining people on your list you will have to either reevaluate the dollar amounts you have chosen or consider eliminating some people from your list.</div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06155315573697900310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601225469312981914.post-38916529414221255632011-10-16T07:57:00.000-07:002011-10-16T08:01:22.646-07:00iPhone Sales Secret – ONE (1) Simple Key<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">What do we have today…9.2% "official" unemployment, 18% effective unemployment, the worst housing crash in modern history with non-stop record foreclosure rates, and record high gas and food prices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">These headlines have <strong>not</strong> changed for the last 3 years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most sane people would agree that this is not the time for major product launches.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet, Apple still has people lining up around the block and camping out overnight just to purchase an iPhone 4S on the FIRST (1st) day the product launches. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now I know there are many out there that will simply discount this event and write it off to the genius of Steve Jobs, and granted, not only does Steve Jobs have the "formula" for success, he seemingly wrote the formula.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fair enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s unlikely neither you nor I will ever hit Steve Jobs heights, but this doesn't mean we can't be successful in our own right.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">We simply need to follow our own "formula" for success, just like Steve follows his formula for success. <o:p></o:p></div><br />
<strong>And yes, it is a "formula".</strong><br />
<br />
All you have to do is go back and study all the major Apple product launches, which I have done, and you will see that it's always been the same build up, the same release, and the same result –raving success and tremendous sales.<br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">So the lesson to be learned is that you need to follow a "formula" so you can ignore the markets. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn't matter what the economy is doing, or what government is doing, or what your neighbor is doing; it's always about what you're doing and how you're doing it.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">I want you to look at this "formula" and start using it today.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Sincerely,</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">The coastline of the <st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region>, especially the <st1:place w:st="on">Atlantic</st1:place> and Gulf Coasts, is regularly battered by hurricanes, about five on average, with the most devastation ones occurring approximately every 3 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These storms bring about a lot of heavy wind, with gusts as much as a hundred miles per hour along with water surges reaching as high as twenty feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">These cyclones are extremely dangerous; therefore, it is important to prepare for their onslaught, especially during Hurricane Season, which is from June 1 to November 30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are some tips to help you prepare for the worst possible scenario when hurricanes come:<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Be Aware and Beware<o:p></o:p></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Know and understand that each hurricane is different, so preparing for the worst possible is the best option since it makes you prepared and pro-active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Make a List and Check it Twice<o:p></o:p></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">List all outside items and determine which ones you think should be brought inside when a hurricane hits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes outdoor tools and equipment and lawn furniture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Trim the Landscaping<o:p></o:p></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Try to keep shrubbery and trees trimmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This prevents unnecessary entanglements, including of electric wires, caused by tree branches or the like.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Clear and Drain<o:p></o:p></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Ensure that the gutters and drains are appropriately cleared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This helps prevent further flooding, especially during long periods of heavy rainfall that usually accompanies strong hurricanes.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Use Shutters Specifically Designed for Hurricanes<o:p></o:p></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Using permanent door and window shutters is much safer than simply taping all the glass as this does not prevent the glass breaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plywood is also good for protecting windows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Plan for an Evacuation<o:p></o:p></b></div><br />

Many people suffer from this sleep disorder.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Apnea is a Greek word that literally means “to breathe”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when you have this sleep disorder, as you rest, you may not notice that your airway is blocked which is why your breathing will halt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As this occurs, your brain will help you cope by going into a defensive mode, and your brain automatically forces you to breathe by waking you up.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">How do you know someone has this? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The more obvious observation can be the way they snore. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will hear more of a grunt than a snore because the person is gasping for air; this is why they are making such a noise. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The blockage is there while you suffering from the disorder. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why there will be a constant cycle of sleeping then waking up throughout the night. <o:p></o:p></div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Aside from losing quality sleep each night, there are more serious problems that people who are suffering from sleep apnea face each time they go to sleep. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because you cannot breathe easily and regularly as you are sleeping, you lack the necessary oxygen that your body must to be supplied with at all times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can lead to more serious health problems such as high blood pressure and heart disorder. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you already have problems with high blood pressure and anything with regarding your heart, this sleep disorder makes matters worse and may lead to even more difficult problems if you do not act as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></div><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Garamond;">So, when it comes to treating diabetes the main concern should be controlling blood sugar, which is the main cause of diabetes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Managing blood sugar is the first step of treating diabetes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Removing the complications of diabetes must be taken seriously, and one must adopt a balanced diet and healthy exercise apart from taking insulin or any other type of medication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frequent testing of blood sugar can indicate improvement on your part to manage proper measure of blood sugar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very important to learn the correct range of glucose in blood, and until then it is hard to understand the complications you will face about this disease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Factors include age mainly such as in younger age assuming there is not much complication the suitable range of glucose is 80-120 mg/dL and in older age it is 100-140 mg/dL. </span></strong></div><br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Diabetes treatment programs include specific self-treatments such as having a suitable diet, proper exercise, maintaining healthy weight, and medication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When it is about a good and suitable diet it does not make any suggestion to take all dull foods which are not of your interest, but rather it denotes having more fruits, vegetables, and grains and that means you should also be conscious in taking high nutrition foods and those in lower fat and in calories. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Avoid sweets and animal products with no limit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The main part of diabetes treatment is that you should challenge yourself in this task; otherwise this program will be tough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consult any dietitian about meal plans, and try to maintain it at the scheduled times every day with same amount according to your diet plan.</span></strong></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Garamond;">On having proper exercise you should be cautious about all aerobic exercises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With exercise you can choose among routine exercises like morning or evening walking, jogging, hiking, biking, swimming, and any other exercises for the heart and lungs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, consistency to your exercise program is very important for obtaining the best results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Try maintaining your weight according to your activity level and age because being overweight is dangerous and can make your cells more resistant to insulin. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make a suitable weight loss plan and go according to that for more effective results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Sometimes medication takes a very important role in cases where it is found that good dieting and exercise are not fulfilling it purpose. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This type of diabetes program includes inserting insulin as required.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it cannot be taken as a pill or capsule, it is taken with injection by syringe or with an insulin pump.<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Garamond;">So now it is very clear that diabetes can be managed if the individual pays serious attention to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although diabetes can be tough to live with, it does not have to mean the end of your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just remember you can control this disease by being self-aware and self-disciplined for your each and every step of treatment program.<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">You can use this online search to find online fashion magazines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Online fashion magazines are often similar to the popular printed magazines, but the format is online only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because you can find an online fashion magazine with a standard internet search, you may want to think about searching with phrases like “online fashion magazine,” or “online fashion magazines.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not uncommon to find online fashion magazines that may want you to pay a small fee, but it is possible to actually find a number of free online fashion magazines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you like reading articles or viewing fashion pictures online, then this is an inexpensive way to improve your fashion sense.</div><br />

<br />
Treatments depend on the severity of the disorder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the effectiveness of the treatments is partially dependent on regular follow-ups and communication you’re your doctor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
For your guidance, here are the treatments for sleep apnea.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<strong>1. Lifestyle changes.</strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also called behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes are aimed at treating mild cases of sleep apnea by adjusting habits, activities, and lifestyle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, losing weight can significantly alleviate sleep apnea since obesity can contribute to the narrowing of the airway. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s also important to avoid alcohol, sedatives, and other medications that can further relax throat muscles and may cause sleepiness.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Tobacco should also be avoided. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moreover, studies have shown that sleeping on your back rather than on your side can help people with sleep apnea. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sleeping on your back is said to relax the tongue and palate more and thus open up the airway. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The use of saline nasal sprays is also helpful in keeping the nasal passages open. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<strong>2. Treatments for co-existing medical conditions</strong>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sleep apnea may either be the cause or result of other medical conditions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Treatments for such diseases or disorders can help alleviate sleep apnea.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<strong>3. Devices.</strong> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Breathing and oral devices are used in treating different severities of sleep apnea. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Examples are continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) and mouthpiece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recommended for people with moderate and severe apnea, CPAP is a mask-like device connected to a machine. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>CPAP is worn over the nose while sleeping and delivers pressurized air to prevent the airway from narrowing.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Mouthpiece, on the other hand, is designed specifically by a dentist or orthodontist. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a custom-fit dental device that resembles the common athletic mouth guard. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It prevents sleep apnea by adjusting the lower jaw and tongue, thus keeping the airway open. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other devices include bi-level positive air pressure (BiPAP) and adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV).<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<strong>4. Surgery.</strong> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surgery’s main purpose is to keep the airway wide and open, thereby allowing the free flowing of air. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surgery is normally done on people with severe sleep apnea, but which surgical operation to perform is based on the cause. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is surgery that removes excess tissue from the throat and soft palate that blocks the airway. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other types of surgery, meanwhile, shrinks tissue in the mouth and throat.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
In some types of surgery, enlarged tonsils and adenoids are removed while other types involve reconstruction of the lower jaw. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The types of surgery for treating sleep apnea is known to confer long-term and even permanent benefits, but since surgery can be sometimes risky, it is best to consider other sleep apnea treatments first before undergoing any surgery. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The success of sleep apnea treatments still lies on the person’s commitment since some mentioned treatments may be quite challenging to sustain. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take, for instance, the lifestyle changes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Expectedly, it won’t be as easy for some people to lose weight or kick alcohol as it is for others.<o:p></o:p><br />

Auctions and obviously eBay. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">There are literally thousands of products to choose from so you will likely find anything you are looking for. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like to look for items that the stores no longer carry but that I know are great products. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you type in a specific item into the search box you will get a listing of all the products available. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can view them by the auctions that are ending first, the lowest price, the highest price, whatever you want. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Before you can place any bids on these online auction sites, you will need to set up an account. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a simple process that will take you about 15 minutes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will need to provide your personal information including your name and address, and you will need to set up a user ID and password for your account. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">To get the very best deals from these online auctions, you really will want to do your homework before you place a bid on any item. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, take a look at the reputation of the seller. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be able to see the number of items they have sold as well as feedback from the people they sold those products to. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take a look at what these people have to say by reading the comments. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You want to make sure the seller seems honest with what they are listing and that they ship timely. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Make sure you find out about the cost of shipping the item to you before you bid on it as well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some individuals place the cost of the product very low, but then they charge an outrageous fee for shipping. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is because the cost they have to pay the auction site for their listing is based on the price at which they open the bidding. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the auction you are looking at doesn’t give the shipping cost I strongly recommend you email the seller and get an answer before you bid on the item. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Most sellers on these online auction sites are pretty straight forward in regards to what they are selling. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are a few who aren’t though so you really need to take the time to read the entire listing from top to bottom before you place a bid. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, I know a person who thought they were bidding on an iPod on one of these auctions and they were disappointed when they got an off brand. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet when I took a look at the listing they purchased it from the information that was clearly stated in the description; she just didn’t read it all. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">Not only can you get great bargains from online auctions, but it is fun to look around and see what people have to offer as well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To help ensure you get the items you want for a price that fits your budget decide what your maximum bid will be on a given item. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Enter that amount when you place your bid. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This way you don’t have to keep going back to see if someone outbid you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t get caught up in a bid war with someone though because you might end up paying more than the item is worth just because you don’t want to get beat! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By setting your limit in the beginning you won’t have to worry about it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should you get outbid on something, there is likely many more of it on the various pages of listings on these online auction sites. </div><br />
