Calculate The Overload Of Your Debt Before It is Too Late!

By Edwood Woodward

Majority of the people owe debts in one form or the other, such as it may be in the form of student loan, mortgage, and auto loan, or can be the balance of credit cards as well. Debt is not a bad thing itself. In fact, the attitude regarding its repayment determines it to be good or bad. If you are serious about its pay off, then it proves to be beneficial. However, if your attitude towards its repayment is not serious, then it may lead to worsen your financial conditions. It will prove to be not less than a curse indeed.

If, you regularly determine the amount you have taken as debt, and try to find some ways to pay this debt regularly instead of adopting the policy of take and see. Any debt, which you can afford to pay, is not too much debt, and if some debt gets beyond your reach to pay, it may become too much for you to pay.

You can calculate your debt amount through several ways, but the most appropriate way is to calculate it in relation to your income. If you assess your income debt ratio, then you will come to know that whether you can pay off easily or not. Therefore, the evaluation of good and bad debt depends on this ratio.

However, there are many who just want to calculate the overload of their debt, they can calculate their ratios considering bad debt alone. All the details of debt can only come forward, if you include bad as well as good debt. For those who want to calculate their bad debt overload only, they can easily calculate it by adding up their spending in each month over bad debt, and dividing it to their total monthly income. The percentage will come in front, if 100 are multiplied by the value obtained. This number indicates your debt to income ratio.

Whether it is about bad or good debt, you must try to keep it as low as possible. People often get debt over debt without considering the pay off. These people do not take care of their debt, and do not reckon any amount as too much debt.

Loan is quite easy to take and spend; however, it is hard to pay it off. There are people who do not think about repayment, and thus, they keep on taking loan after loan, and eventually become a victim of financial hazards. It is wise to plan things according to your affordability; otherwise, you will not be able to come out of the problem.

It is true that you can easily pay off even a huge loan, if you efficiently plan things about its repayments. Contrarily, if you just take some loan to spend some time lavishly, soon this loan becomes an ordeal for you, and it becomes very difficult to get rid of it, no matter it is a huge or a small loan.

Debt is neither small nor huge; just adopt a wise strategy for conducting it, and you will have not to worry.

The Importance of Table Position to Betting in Texas Hold'em Poker

By Daniel L. Cox

"Hold'em is a lot like making love: Position is everything." - WPT Host Vince van Patten

Determining your opponents' playing styles is important, but gaining knowledge from your position is more so. Where you sit in relation to the dealer's button is called Table Position. The three basic table positions in poker are early (the Big Blind, Small Blind and Under the Gun), middle and late (including the Cutoff and the Button). The reason the dealer rotates the button after each hand is because table position is crucial to determining appropriate odds and bets.

The strength of position comes from the fact that the betting moves in a clockwise fashion. When playing in late position -- which is the strongest position -- you get to see how other players react to their hands before the action comes to you. The Pokerism "Position is power" comes from this simple idea.

Though your hole cards are crucial, how you use position to decide your betting strategy is the most important tool in your poker skill set. One of the gravest mistakes you can make is playing your starting hands the same, no matter what position you are in. Though you may understand the strength of playing premium starting hands, incorrectly entering every pot without considering position is costly. The more information you possess, the more you increase your chances of winning the hand.

Your margin for error is less when you are sitting in early position. If you bet with a marginal hand pre-flop from early position, you can easily end up with a raise or even re-raise by players betting after you. This places you in the untenable position of immediately having to decide whether your hand is worth losing the extra chips (two or three small bets in limit, to an All-in in no-limit) just to see the flop. If you make the correct move and fold, you lose the chips you already put in the pot. Therefore, if you are in early position, you should restrict the hands you play to the top premium hands, because you have no way of knowing what the other players in the group are holding. Statistically at least one of the players behind you also has a premium starting hand. Though the big and small blinds are in early position, they have the advantage of acting last pre-flop.

When you are playing from middle position, you still have players waiting for action along with others that have already played. Though your pre-flop hand choice increases slightly in this position, you are still limited to playing only strong opening hands. You get better odds than early position when playing weaker hands, but you still have a significant risk from the players behind you.

Being in late position with a good hand has major advantages over being early with a good hand. Poker Legend Doyle Brunson once remarked, "If I had position on a player, I wouldn't even need to look at my cards." A player in late position holding a premium hand has the ability to manipulate the pot size, making future bets easier to call on the turn or river. When playing marginal hands, such as suited-connectors or Aces with weak kickers, it is especially important to be in late position.With the advantage of seeing your opponents' actions before you act, you can expand the range of your starting hands, often playing weaker hands from late position. If you do not consider position when playing a hand, you give an edge to players who do understand its importance.

Since the button is the strongest opening position, many players try to bluff or over-bet a weak hand from this position. Gaining knowledge of other players' styles helps you determine if they are overplaying a hand from the button or actually have a strong hand. Learning your opponents' styles also provides a clue to how strongly you should protect your own blinds.

The type of game and the stakes involved can magnify the importance of position. In a low-stakes, limit game, with a table of loose players, position means less, since these players tend to play any two cards and draw to the end regardless. As the stakes get higher, position becomes more important. Position becomes even more important in no-limit play, as the threat of the All-in on each hand considerably raises the stakes more than in limit play.

Diamond Rings: Know How To Recognize A Counterfeit

By David Harfield

There is nothing quite like a gift that sparkles, shines and glitters in the light, one that you can take everywhere and anywhere you go and be sure to be the envy of every passer-by, so when you present your lover with a diamond ring, you can be sure that they are going to be swept off their feet.



Nonetheless, there is always the danger that you may get ripped off; in any industry that involves large amounts of money for small, precious items there are always going to be some people in the business looking to take advantage of you. Imagine your loved one's disappointment, (not to mention your own!) at discovering that the glorious gift that you have given them was in fact a fake and not even worth a fraction of what you had shelled out for it.

Luckily, there are ways in which you can protect yourself against the emotional and financial damage that such a con can incur, safeguarding against this unfortunate occurrence. To prevent you from being the next victim of a scamming trickster, follow some sage advice that may.

The first piece of advice is the most obvious, yet the most important: find someone who you can trust. Ask previous customers about their satisfaction, research their name on the internet, basically do as much background searching that you can before parting with your hard-earned cash.

Any jeweller unwilling to proffer an authenticity certificate for their diamond rings, which is a vital piece of information should be avoided like the plague. You should make contact with the issuing body if you are unsure about the actual authenticity of the certificate.

One should always check the cut of the diamond; it is easier if you have some background or expertise in the industry, or know an acquaintance who can lend a hand, (or eye!), yet in lieu of this, simply see which cut you like the best and assess which diamond rings sparkle the most, as this can often reflect the best cut.

Be wary of coloured diamonds that the jewellers claim not to have treated; naturally coloured diamonds are extremely expensive because of the fact that they are very rare. You may have discovered a rare bargain, however it is much more likely that the stones have been treated at some point in the manufacturing process.

A good idea is to get it valued by another jeweller straight away, if you have made the decision to purchase your diamond ring; this way you will find out immediately if you have been conned. It is important to make sure you are getting what you pay for, yet don't let all this put you off splashing out on a diamond ring for a loved one, just be as careful as possible.

Del Mar - Where Bing Crosby and Lucille Ball Played

By Terry Hunefeld

Imagine a vacation paradise in a lovely, relaxing and scenic little village nestled on the endless Pacific Ocean. Your paradise consists of boutique hotels and Inns, famous five star restaurants and mile after mile of gorgeous beaches. Those elements make up the paradise of Del Mar, California.

Del Mar is Spanish for "of the sea" or "by the sea", because it is located near the Pacific Ocean and is one of the most beautiful and romantic resort beach towns in the world. It's here you find world-class restaurants, romantic bed and breakfasts, exotic hiking trails, delightful beaches and a world famous horse racing track

Del Mar has been home to celebrities ever since the 1940's: Bing Crosby and his friend Jimmy Durante worked together to help turn the Del Mar Race Track into the most beautiful and prestigious race tracks in the horse racing world. One could often find Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez at the track. Other celebrities wanted to be closer, so Burt Bacharach and Angie Dickenson purchased residences in Del Mar. Brad Pitt recently purchased a beachfront home in Del Mar for (eighteen million dollars!) - and now Brad Pitt sightings have become the new sport in town.

Del Mar isn't very large, just two square miles along the Northern San Diego County coast between Solana Beach on the north and Torrey Pines State Reserve on the south. Del Mar has a population of 4000 to 5000 Del-Marians (depending on who is counting) who live among the beautiful sandstone canyons interspersed with hillsides or perched on bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, all of them enjoying beautiful sunsets.

Del Mar is the only location in the world where the Torrey Pine tree grows. The Torrey Pine is the rarest pine tree in the United States. It's highly endangered and protected. There are two populations of native Torrey Pines, one at the Torrey Pines State Reserve and the other in the City of Del Mar.

Each summer Del Mar plays host to the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The fair originally opened in 1936, the site selected because it was the perfect spot just off the main highways - while still being near the ocean's cooling breezes on hot summer days. Selection of a fair queen - Fairest of the Fair - is still a fail highlight each summer.

It was Bing Crosby who took a leading role to ensure that the now-world-famous Del Mar Race Track became reality. Del Mar Race Track opened in 1937 with newspapers dubbing the track "Bing's Baby." The next year Bing recorded a song that would eventually open each day of the racing season since those early days - Where The Turf Meets the Surf.

A Fast Scheme To Refresh Your Bathroom

By Connor Sullivan

Are you tired of your bathrooms? A plan to freshen the bathroom can go two directions. You can hire a Fox Valley handyman to do a complete renovation or a Fox Valley bathroom remodeling company to do the job. Or, if you want to invest a more modest amount of money, you can just merely changing the decor.

The first step in changing the decor of the bathroom is to decide on a decorating scheme. You may want to strip it down to the bare walls and start totally from scratch. You can then either stay with the same style but change the colors or go in a totally different direction.

Once the room is bare, start with the walls. There are many different ways that you can cover your bathroom walls. The easiest is just to roller on a new coat of paint. You may want to choose a light color for a small bathroom because a dark color may make the room appear oppressively small and give you claustrophobia. If you want more than just a flat colored paint job, you may want to apply either a faux finish, a graphic or mural. There are so many possible ways to apply a faux finish that you may want to get a library book on the topic so that you stimulate your imagination. Another easy embellishment is a wallpaper border. You can put this at ceiling level, slightly lower, or at any other level of the wall. The main difficulty with border is getting them straight and even. If you want to do a bit less measuring, put part of the border high and part at chair rail level. Then you can place two diagonal strips between the high area and the low area. Even easier are the individual wallpaper motifs. If you like things even and uniform, you can measure and mark before you apply them. If you are lazy, you can scatter them randomly. Maybe you prepare to hang wallpaper. You can just paper one wall, or you can do the entire room.

Then you can decorate the walls with pictures or knickknacks that match your decorating motif. If you can see yourself in the mirror from your position on the toilet, you can create an amusing effect by hanging a hat or floral wreath on the wall behind your head. Then, when you see yourself in the mirror, you will see yourself wearing a hat. If you place shelves on the wall or bring in one that sits on the floor, you can place small decorative objects on the shelves.

The next step is easy because it just involves your color choices. It is at this point that you can buy your new towels, rug, shower curtain, and window curtains. At the same time you can get coordinating soap dish, toothbrush holder, and cup.

This decorating advice makes the assumption that you are happy with the floor and plumbing fixtures. If you plan to make changes to these items, you need to complete this work before you begin the redecorating process.

How to Deal with Sleep Panic Attacks

By Sarah Wilson

Sleep panic attacks afflicts between 50 and 75 percent of people who have daytime panic attacks. Having a panic attack during broad daylight is awful, but having an attack at night is even scarier.

In the dark, things can often be more disturbing, especially if you are by yourself. I reckon that most people, even those who do not suffer from panic attacks, have had their night's sleep troubled by some fear.

Under normal circumstances, the person has to switch on the lights and just look around the house to realize that there is nothing to feel afraid of. However, sleep panic attacks are different. This simple method does not do anything to drive away the fear.

The symptoms of this form of panic attack are similar to the ones that people experience during the day. This means that a person suffering from nocturnal panic attack will also experience rapid heart beats, shallow fast breathing, tingling sensation in the arms and legs, and a feeling of impending disaster.

For some people the panic attack might occur just as they start to doze. For others, the panic comes out of nowhere while they're soundly asleep.

If you experience panic attacks at night, you should be aware that you can control the symptoms. However, to do this, you need some tips and help.

The first step should be getting a thorough physical examination done by a doctor. Some physical conditions have the same symptoms as a panic attack. This way you can rule out any physical disorder. With night panic attacks, certain sleep issues like sleep apnea could be a cause for concern. It is quite possible that your doctor may recommend further tests done in a sleep lab.

The next thing to do is to make sure that your habits at night help you get a restful night's sleep. This means avoiding or reducing stimulants like caffeine. Keep your bedroom for sleeping and indulging in romantic activities. Do not read or watch television in your bedroom. Also, try not to watch the news or dramatic and distressing movies and television shows before you retire to bed. If you have panic attacks, the last thing you need is to have all these disturbing images floating in your mind just before you go to sleep.

The last step that you need to take is start an appropriate treatment program for your panic attacks.

A night time anxiety episode is like any other panic attack except it occurs at night. Because it happens at night it may be more terrifying, but that doesn't affect the treatment plan. One thing that is slightly different is that if the night time episodes are fairly frequent, a physician may recommend a sedative at bedtime as a temporary measure while longer term treatments have a chance to take effect.

One problem with prescription "sleeping pills" is that they interfere with normal sleep patterns. A night's sleep after you've taken Ambien isn't as restorative as a night's sleep without the sedative.

Another problem is that people tend to become habituated to sedatives. Therefore, you need to understand that sedatives are just for a short duration. And, when you start your treatment for sleep panic attack, you should have a plan to that will show you how long you should be on sedatives, and what steps you will take to get off them.

Working From Home In Simple Steps

By Ron Cripps

There are many wanna-be entrepreneur's who dream of earning large amounts of cash from working from home. However, their dream of relaxing the whole day doing the minimum of work and making thousands out of it in reality is not what happens and those who have tried it will tell you of the difficulties they have to face on a day to day basis. Not to mention the unknown factor being the lack of job security in this arena and should be taken into account before venturing any further. Discipline and hard work will take you a long way to becoming free and independent in your venture.

For many, having the dream job of working out of home comes with the perception of making big bucks as quickly as we can, so we look for schemes where there is easy money to be had which can be very dangerous and expensive. Even if they do work, it is hardly anywhere like the fantastic results that the guru promoting it promises you in all those ads that you see about them. Opportunities such as paid surveys and home based data entry jobs promise to make you rich but they very often don't deliver what they state. The idea of taking a few surveys in the morning, having a long lunch, and then doing a couple more to end the day several hundred dollars better off, is a joke; nor will data entry improve your bank account either.

These kinds of activities are simply not sustainable for anyone seeking a way to earn money working from home on a regular and dependable basis. While not all jobs in this field are fake, there are some that are dubious to say the least so it just means that you need to consider them before making a decision. If you have reasonable writing skills you can earn money by writing articles and you'll find that the better you are, the more you earn this is a good entry level work at home business. Right at the start, you will find that you will have to write for others but this is how most ghost writers start in the business. Even if you work hard, you rarely earn more than 3 to 5 dollars for 500 words so try not to expect too much at the beginning but its a start.

The best thing would be to write for oneself and selling them as PLR or public label rights articles; this can be lucrative over time. The trick is to write say ten articles or so and then sell them at a reduced price but to not one person but many but many people like a PLR Package you find on the net today. You could make $1000 plus on ten articles by selling them to twenty people as a PLR Package from your site; this would be a lot more than you would earn if you have sold each at $3 each. Or you could give them away for free so you could collect email addresses to up sell another product for a profit.

If you want to earn some really good money from home and keep it dependable and consistent, you are going to have to really work at it. It probably won't be easy at first, but after you have ironed out all the kinks and streamlined the process, you shouldn't have too much trouble. Then you might put together your own team of writers and get work done from them - this is the way to go to start making more money.

Many business owners at some point wonder if it's possible to franchise. So long as your business is successful, easy to duplicate and you could teach others how, the answer is yes. It does however take quite a lot of time, effort and money to get a franchise off the ground but it's still a more economical way to expand than many other business models.

One of the most important things is to have the financial statements to back up and prove the success potential of your particular business. That's what your selling... your way of making money so it has to work. Without that you'll find it very difficult to get any franchisees and will probably fail.

The main reason for someone buying a franchise is to make money and lots of it.

O.K so you have a business which is successful and you can prove it, next can it be done anywhere or is it particular to your location? Do you have some unique skill which others won't have? For a franchise to succeed it must be very user friendly. That means this business can be done anywhere by anyone with the will to learn it.

How easy it is to transpose a business is at the heart of franchising heaven. It cannot be location specific. You are asking people to copy what you do in their own home town wherever that may be.

Much thought will have to be put into breaking down the business for someone else to learn. You'll need to write a very detailed Operations Manual explaining every facet of the job and back it up with in person training days as well. These can last anywhere from 1 day to 1 week normally. Your business cannot be so complicated that a complete beginner is going to struggle to learn it.

Selling your finished franchise going to be exciting and hard work at the same time. If you have failed to properly research the viability of your franchise then you may not sell any at all - quite a waste of time, effort and money! The single biggest factor for selling your franchise will be the potential it provides someone else to earn money. Remember they are risking an non refundable initial deposit so they are taking a risk.

In part two of this article I'll complete the franchising picture for you as signing up new franchisees only puts you at the starting gates! There's still plenty of pitfalls which can result in your franchise failing.

How To Write Wedding Ceremony

By Dr. David Trumble

What if you could write your own wedding vows, what would you say? Well, amazingly, today you can do exactly that. You can write your own wedding vows full of your own special thoughts, feelings, and desires.

Why should you write wedding vows yourself?

There may be some restrictions. Good taste, dignity, and generally acceptable wedding vows still offer a wide range of options to write wedding vows yourself.

You can write your own wedding ceremony that are personal, special, and unique, or you can customize established sets of vows and pledges. By doing so, you can enjoy the benefits of truly personalized wedding vows.

The moment you exchange your vows is the moment when everything in your life draws into focus. This is a time of ultimate commitment and devotion. The exact values and words you express in this critical exchange will affect you for a life time.

When you write your own wedding ceremony yourself, you control the words and the expressions that represent your deepest feelings and commitments.

Your guests will be thrilled by the unique and highly personalized expressions when you write wedding vows yourself.

Each state in the United States has its own laws that control the marriage relationship and the wedding. In Ohio, for example, only registered officiate are permitted to officiate wedding ceremonies. These legal authorities certify marriages from a legal standpoint, however, your chosen customs, traditions, and heritage will also affect the ceremony.

Begin the process by visiting your county courthouse to secure your wedding license. Give this license to your officiate before the wedding. After the wedding your officiate will file your papers for you, and in about a month, you should receive a copy from your county or state government indicating that you are legally married.

From a legal stand point, all that is really required is the following: Officiate: "Do you ___ take ___ to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Groom: "I do." Officiate: "Do you ___ take ___ to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Bride: "I do."

Weddings are usually much more involved because guests and wedding party expect more. This gives you great latitude to write your own wedding ceremony yourself.

Weddings commonly include a formal precession for the arrival of the bride; the minister gives a short message, he asks the couple about their commitments, and the bride and groom repeat their vows. Finally, rings are placed on fingers and they kiss.

It is this ceremony that the minister works with the bride and groom to fashion meaningful and helpful statements that capsulate the love, commitment, and expectations of the marriage.

These five steps will make it easier to achieve your own wedding vows.

First, as you plan; make a list of the things that are really important to you. Write down the things you share - the values, priorities, and feelings.

Second, relate to your wedding setting. Who is going to be there? What are the surroundings like?

Third, look into your future. What kind of marriage do you want? What commitments will shape your life together?

At this point, draw all of your items together and sort them by their importance. These items may be used to write your own wedding ceremony, but you may find duplication or some items much more important than another.

Five: With assistance of your officiate or minister, create your personalized vows that fit the traditional wedding vow structures of pledged (or questions asked and answered) and vows (your declarations to each other).

Your aim is to express your personal values and commitments as clearly, and briefly as possible. Focus on the values and commitments, not on lengthy verbage. Your ceremony will be deeply personal when you write your own wedding ceremony.

Cast includes Jackie Chan, Richard Norton, Miki Lee, Karen McLymont, Gamelle Fitzpatrick, and Vince Poletto. (113 minutes, 1997)

Promises Promises: Horrible comedy in regards to couples Mansfield-Noonan and McDonald-Hargitay, and their sensual shenanigans on a voyage.

Cast includes Jayne Mansfield, Marie McDonald, Tommy Noonan, Mickey Hargitay, Fritz Feld, Matjorie Bennett, and Imogene Coca. (75 minutes, 1963)

3 Effective Procedures For Treatment For Panic Attacks That Occur When Sleeping

By Sara Heins

As most people know the day is when most people have panic attacks. Yet, you can still suffer from panic attacks while you sleep. There are ways to deal with nighttime panic attacks. What is the deal with panic attacks while you are sleeping?

People can wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning with panic attack symptoms. There is no specific reason why, but sufferers will often wake up in a panic. People wake up feeling dizzy, lightheaded or even having chest pains. Their heart may be racing and breathing becomes a problem. A person may feel like they need to escape from the setting or they may feel like they are losing control of themselves; perhaps even dying. This is perhaps one of the most terrifying experiences a panic attack sufferer can undergo.

What Causes Nighttime Panic Attacks

So what is the treatment for panic attacks when sleeping? The treatment actually isn't much different then dealing with daytime panic attacks. The difference between night time attacks and daytime attacks is that it can be very difficult to find out what stressor is causing a night time attack. Many times nighttime attacks are the result of stress from work or a traumatic situation such as a death in the family, car accident, child-related accident, etc. The thing to remember with any panic attack, day or night, is to stay calm in both mind and body.

How To Prevent Nighttime Panic Attacks - Three Treatments for Panic Attacks When Sleeping

Treatment 1 - Self Massages

Giving yourself a massage is actually a great treatment for night time panic attacks. Having a massage first thing in the morning is also a good idea. When a person has a massage, their body becomes further relaxed, which allows them to handle stress that creeps up into their sleep whether it's through dreams or their subconscious.

Treatment 2 - Relaxation Techniques

Deep breathing relaxation techniques are also a good way of helping someone with nighttime panic attacks. By learning to breath correctly a person utilizes the diaphragm more than their chest. Breathing correctly means that you suck in air deeply and breathe it out the same way. Doing this helps a person focus on their breathing rather than their panic. This treatment for panic attacks when sleeping, when done right before bedtime, allows them to stay relaxed throughout the nighttime hours.

Treatment 3 - Meditation and/or Prayer

The third way to treat panic attacks at night is to meditate before going to sleep. Why does this help? This makes you more relaxed and also puts you in a positive frame of mind before getting into the bed.

Are You Expecting Social Media To Help You Sell?

By Michael Fleischner

I often get asked about Twitter and its role in marketing. Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter seem to be interesting sites, but can they be used to build your brand or help you sell more? I believe they can as long as you keep these strategies in mind.

Social media is all about building a dialog with like minded people or people who are in your target audience. Social media has impact when it is focused on the market you serve. If you are in shoes and you're trying to build a following in the area of automotive, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Start with a plan. If you want to use social media for marketing and promotional purposes, you really need to have a plan. Starting to post or profile is a great idea but certainly not enough for online success. To succeed you should define objectives, resources, and responsible parties. Doing so improves your chances of success dramatically.

Share what you know. Each of us has an area or discipline that we know something about. If you have a hobby, career, or area of interest, then focus on sharing what you know with others. By focusing your efforts on what you know best, your passion comes through and keeps others engaged. This creates more value for your followers and keeps them coming back.

Be consistent with your communications. Speak with your audience on a regular basis. Better yet, create a dialog and conversation around specific topics. This ensures that your conversation is meaningful and valuable. Its always a good idea to solicit topics from your audience. What you share must be relevant to their day to day needs.

Invite others to participate. By inviting others to participate in your subject matter, you can create meaningful conversation. If those who are interested in your topic have an opportunity to participate, they feel a sense of ownership and want to give more. Social media is all about conversation that is two ways. Solicit topics and questions from your audience and keep them engaged.

Stop selling. Something that I see on a regular basis is direct selling happening on social media websites. However, what these individuals don't realize is that nothing turns off individuals more than being sold. Rather, they want to learn about a subject area and choose products and services on their own after research, recommendations, and reasoning. Don't use social media to sell directly. Rather, use social media to build a following. Once you have proved value, others will look to follow you and the products you use or try.

Social media can be a very powerful tool for promoting your product, service, or brand. But be careful. If social media is misused, it can turn off your followers. Unfortunately, this type of exodus is quick and permanent. Social media tools make it easy to unsubscribe or unfollow. That means you don't have second chances and you have to be extra careful with your dialog.

Short Sale Agreements

By Max Buchanan

If your house has been on the market for awhile without any reasonable offers and you are struggling to make the payments, or if your property value has decreased sharply you may find yourself headed for financial ruin. You need to get information about short sale houses before your house goes in to foreclosure.

If your home is on its way to foreclosure then you need to make it a short sale house. This happens when homeowners are struggling to make their payments and they are unable to sell their home for a price that exceeds the total amount that they owe on it.

A number of short sale houses have seen drastic decreases in their value due to the housing market slump. The owners of the houses took out large loans with minimal down payments. The monthly payments that they made for the first few years went towards interest only. When these homeowners began struggling with their payments they were surprised to find out that they would be unable to sell their home for what they owed on it.

Short sale houses would undoubtedly end up as foreclosures if the owners did not get a short sale deal. Make sure that you hire an experienced attorney to negotiate your short sale house deal with the mortgage company.

When it comes to a short sale house, you must be quick to the draw. You will only have a small window of time before foreclosure proceedings begin to negotiate with your lending company.

By contacting a lawyer as soon as possible, you will be able to minimize the damage that is done to your credit score. Your mortgage lender will be happy to discuss a short sale opposed to having to file foreclosure proceedings.

Your mortgage lender may forgive a portion of the debt or the entire debt owed after the short sale of your home. This will depend upon your individual circumstances and the lender that you have a loan with.

If your lender holds you responsible for a potion of the debt it will still affect your credit but it will do far less damage than a foreclosure will. A short sale is definitely a much better option than going through foreclosure proceedings.

Four Common Retail Businesses Located in Small Shopping Centers

By Connor Sullivan

Whether there are five shops or ten that take up space in a small shopping center, most often the type of retail being offered is the same in each place. Typically, a consumer finds companies that will feature fresh flowers and flower delivery to homes and businesses. In addition to these businesses, there are four other companies who are located in most small shopping centers all over the US. These four companies are Subway, Starbucks, a nail salon and Gamestop.

Subway is a national chain restaurant featuring made to order sub sandwiches, soups, snacks and drinks. There are over 30,000 locations all over the place. This company does a fantastic job at marketing and couponing in all the neighborhoods in where they are situated. They pride themselves on being fast, fresh and a healthy alternative to the typical fast food options. Their locations are kept small and promote taking food to go. The company was founded in 1965 and franchises are growing every day.

If there seems like there is a Starbucks on every corner, it is probably because there are over 16,000 locations all around the world. This coffee chain is the largest of its kind in the entire world. It serves specialty coffee, tea and alternative hot beverage drinks to people every day of the week. It also sells a variety of breakfast goods, snacks and dessert bars. Starbucks has even been successful in marketing their own choice of music that fits within their brand. Small shopping centers typically are situated in prime traffic areas which is extremely helpful to the success of Starbucks locations.

These small shopping centers also house most of the walk-in nail salons across the US. These salons do not typically require an appointment, are lower priced and provide wonderful service to their customers. The customer turnover in these salons is high due the sheer nature of who they target. Their typical consumer is a female who is out running errands, makes money and did not plan ahead by making an appointment. This type of nail salon can accommodate this consumer with great customer service and average to low pricing. The quick pace, low cost and great service make this type of business perfect for small shopping centers in every city.

Lastly, Gamestop is a growing retail outlet that sells and buys video games, gaming systems and gaming accessories. It was founded in 1984 as a company called Babbages and in 1994 evolved into what we know as Gamestop. It was with the monetary support of the then CEO of Barnes and Noble that this company really took off and prospered. Today there are over 6,200 locations throughout the world. Their target consumer is anyone who is interested in and plays video games. Because of their broad appeal this business concept it continues to grow every day. They need little space and prefer to have controlled rent in highly visible areas. Small shopping centers provide all of this and allow Gamestop to keep being successful.

Get Ex Back - 5 Easy Ways

By Stewart L. Haney

Relations are fragile bonds that need to be built up and maintained to keep them healthy and let them flourish. Sadly , break ups do occur, and they're stressful, stressful and exasperating. If you're concerned in a relationship that breaks up, you could be thinking that you would like to get back at your ex but is this truly the best step to take? One of the most influential ways you can basically get back at your ex won't only put your ex in a fascinating problem, but it might also repair the relationship by showing your ex how vital you are and were to them. So not only are these five guidelines to get back at your ex but they're also wonderful methods for getting your ex back also.

1 - Be strong. No one needs the needy, and this saying applies very well when it comes to broken up relationships. You need to stop begging, clinging or exhibiting the behavior of someone who is feeling desperate. Let your ex think that you have moved on just fine without them by acting strong and moving on. When you've moved on, your ex will realize that they have not.

Two - Minimize communication. Closing the doors of communication may appear counterintuitive when your first focus is to re-light things, but it is one of the most vital steps when getting back at your ex or getting your ex back. Take five from your ex, close off communication, and let him stew for a small while without any contact. This may permit your ex to clear their mind and realize how valuable your relationship was.

Three - Be flexible. Don't be forceful with your ex, demanding that they move out, or pick their things up by a certain date. Be flexible, be a listener and a sympathizer. Your ex will be stunned when they see this side of you, and it may induce them to build the comms channels that were lacking when the breakup came into play.

Four - Get the heck out! This is no time for you to be alone. Call your chums and get out of the house. Develop a social network and enjoy some entertainment in your life. This will not mean you want to date, or perhaps be aware of the alternative sex, but you should be getting out and enjoying your time with your mates. Not merely will this be healing for you, but it'll also help convince your ex that they lost a gem.

Five - Simply be yourself. There had been an actually sound reason for why you and your ex had a relationship to start with, so return to being yourself and let your ex remember why they loved you in the 1st place. This replenished self perception of your own self will certainly rub off on your ex also.

Dealing With Fungal Toenail Infections In One Short Half Hour Visit

By Connor Sullivan

There is one embarrassing condition that has many people staying away from public funtions and that is nail infections. Where do people go to cure this terrible problem, but the Long Island laser fungal toenail center in New York. With fungus toenail laser treatment, the sufferer will find that the condition can be sorted out quite quickly.

This problem occurs when spores work their way into the surface and are embedded under the nails. This can happen to all extremities including the hands but is far more common on the feet. The reason is that most people will not take into consideration that their feet are 'clothed' all day, like socks and shoes, and this creates the perfect environment for the infection to grow unabated.Even in hot and humid countries this disease is very common but it is more usual for them to sport open shoes, or no shoes at all which means that there is a free airflow around the foot. This infection does not like fresh, dry air and needs closed in, humid areas for the condition to thrive.Most athletes will suffer from some kind of foot infection, athlete's foot being probably the one that everyone has heard of. This is in the same ballpark as the nail problem but affects the skin itself. Itchy, flaky skin is a common symptom of this and the infection is very difficult to get rid of.

Messy creams and lotion are the normal antidotes for this infection but takes several weeks or months and very often, the disease is so tenacious that the sufferer merely knocks it back a little. It reappears again and again and the sufferer is really suffering all the while and does not know what to do about it.

The horrible sight of this disease is green or yellowish with horny kind of growth. Flaking and itching can also be a symptom and the whole thing looks so unsightly and ugly that people will try to cover their feet full time. Even using the gym can be a kind of torture and makes matters worse by keeping the nails covered thereby making those warm and humid conditions that the disease loves. This is how to prolong the disease.

With the treatment mentioned in the first paragraph, a light is shone directly through the nail to pinpoint the 'root' of the spores to deprive it of moisture in situ. The session lasts for about thirty minutes and this will also be done to all the other toes. Unfortunately, spores are invisible to the naked eye and this is done as a safety measure.

Even shoes should be treated with anti fungicide powders to ensure that no spores are lurking there and will stop the problem once and for all. Conditions for the feet should also be changed and it may be a good idea to walk barefoot around the home to let the feet 'breathe'. Care should also be taken where many other people are present like gymnasiums and spas and the like. Once the disease is eradicated, it truly will be a case of 'putting your best foot forward!

Varicose Veins Effective Solutions For A Serious Problems

By Erin Mullins

Are you suffering with varicose veins? Do your legs often hurt or feel uncomfortable because of provoking spider veins? While many people may believe that spider veins are simply something you have got to deal with as you age, the fact of the affair is that there are in fact solutions to this common problem!

While the particular cause of varicose veins may be principally disputed, the general agreement is that they are a result of a weakening in the veins walls. This weakening may cause a pooling of blood in the legs and a slowing of the flow of blood that may result in the appearance of spider veins.

Veins naturally have a valve function that keeps blood from flowing the wrong way. When the vein walls weaken this valve may cease to function properly and permit some backflow in the blood. In this way the veins might become gorged and the flow of blood would slow and cause the veins to expand and appear along the outer surface of the skin.

While any one may get veins, girls who are pregnant or oversized are loads more at the mercy of getting them. This is because of the nature of the blood flow and the pressure that they put on their veins and their circulatory system. Fat people or those that are usually standing for long periods are also more subject to varicose veins.

For the main part the main symptom concerned in varicose veins is a mild discomfort or an itching feeling on the surface of the skin. The severity of these symptoms can change and range from a mild annoyance to a significant and maddening distraction. In a number of cases more significant and dangerous symptoms may present themselves as a consequence of varicose veins.

Spider veins might not always present a major problem but there are solutions. In less severe cases they can be simply cured by simply wearing stockings designed to compress the leg and force the flow of blood to be more concise and direct. This solution is generally endorsed for those who do not suffer severe symptoms or who have only mild varicose veins.

In some more extreme cases there are surgical options which will take away the vein or redirect the flow of blood to force a more natural circulatory flow. These options are basically frowned upon unless the patient is suffering intense amounts of pain or discomfort due to their varicose veins.

If you suffer with varicose veins, you do not need to sit around presuming there's nothing that may be done. Take command of your life and your condition and hunt down a varicose vein treatment method today. Lead a healthier, happier life without the annoyance of varicose veins! Get the legs you've always wanted and be rid of irritating spider veins for good!

Top Tips For Buying Income Real Estate

By Mark Knowles

Buying investment properties can be a great way to earn a profit but you will need to find viable properties to choose from before you can invest in them. There are three main kinds of investment properties to choose from and you may need to use different search methods to locate them.

One thing you need to think about is how you intend to make your cash with your investment homes. Will you be flipping your properties? Flipping involves taking a low priced home, renovating it and reselling it at a higher price. If this is how you intend to make your a profit, you should ensure that there is a good real estate market where you are purchasing. If you want to purchase a rental houses, you need to pick an area where people are interested in renting homes so that you stand a chance of seeing a return on your investment.

You can find flips by using the MLS, an online multiple listings service that realtors use. It lists the properties and their specifications and will also sometimes show you images of the properties as well. It is a good rule of thumb to look for the worst house in the best neighborhood you can afford, and begin working from there. Consider looking at bank foreclosure lists and real estate listings in newspapers. Properties that are for sale by owners can also be a great source of properties to flip. Just remember to budget for the cost of the home and the renovations, as well as real estate commissions on the resale.

Another thing to consider is the time lines you will be operating within. How long do you want the renovations on a flip to take? Are you planning on keeping your rental houses indefinitely or do you think that this is a limited duration idea. Keep in mind that while you may have definite time lines in mind, you may not be able to stick to them as you had hoped. You should think about whether you can afford the mortgage on the homes if it takes longer to resell or rent out the houses than you had expected.

Vacant land or land that may have derelict buildings on it is another potential type of investment real estate. You can find these kinds of properties online. You may not find as many of them on the MLS however. If you are looking at investing in a large city, you may want to check out that city's website. There will often be properties you can select in the industrial park and you can also see what incentives there are for investors. As well, you can become familiar with any bylaws that may affect the use of your investment houses.

One of the best tips is to have good legal advice. Real estate law is complex and you don't want to find out that there is a clause you have misunderstood that can cause problems down the road. As well, rental and other investment properties will require different financing than what you would be eligible for with a primary residence. You will also need a good accountant to help you with the intricacies of income from investment properties.

Once you have taken into account what your time line and budget are, and you have a good attorney and accountant on board, you can begin your search for your investment real estate. It can be easier if you purchase land nearby so that you are able to visit it. You can see what the property looks like and if you are familiar with the area you know what developments are coming up in the near future. This can help you maximize your real estate investment.

Purchasing investment properties is not hard. There are plenty of properties out there to choose from. By taking the time to do your homework and research thoroughly, there is less chance that you will get stung down the road. Choose wisely and well, and you can begin to enjoy the added income that investment properties can bring you.

Corrections - Moving Forward

By Gus Kalakis

You might be surprised to hear it, but juveniles in the California juvenile justice system has decreased by almost seven thousand youths. Both youth (and adult) fire crews have helped save the state from around $80 million in the fight against wildfires. Also, the recidivism rate for adult inmates in California is only around 60%.

A new publication, Corrections - Moving Forward, contains these facts and more as part of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) efforts to provide a consistent and comprehensive understanding of today's corrections challenges.

This publication includes a statistical update on everything from inmate population trends to return-to-custody statistics; from the impact of the three strikes inmates to a look at CDCR's entire budget and a summary of the department's 2008-09 accomplishments.

"Transparency in government begins with making information available to as many people as possible," said CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate. "Through the Internet, our collection of data bases and Office of Research, we have worked hard to keep statistics on offender population and programs current and accessible.

Corrections - Moving Forward collects key facts from our expansive correctional system into one comprehensive report. As we face the challenges ahead, using current data to reflect on our population demographics will be crucial. We hope you find this new resource helpful in learning more about our agency."

This publication has been designed to provide a general overview of significant challenges of California's biggest governmental unit. Information is divided by gender, and age in some cases, so that trends facing specific populations can be explored. Information was provided by the Office of Research, CDCR Budget Office, the Division of Juvenile Justice Research branch, Division of Adult Institutions, and Division of Adult Programs.

This report was produced and printed entirely by CDCR staff to minimize cost while providing much needed information for legislative members, department staff, journalists and others interested in an accurate statistical picture of CDCR's issues and challenges.
