Eating unhealthy foods has resulted in unwanted weight gain. However there are a lot of diets that have originated in answer to this unhealthy condition. One unique diet is the negative calorie diet recipe. It is specifically designed to cause fat loss.
The premise behind the negative calorie diet recipe is the belief that there are negative calorie foods that take more calories to digest than the actual calorie content of these foods and so creating a negative caloric effect. The added energy to break down these foods is taken from the stored fat in the body causing weight loss through the negative calorie diet. For example an apple containing 50 calories may require 100 calories to digest via the negative calorie diet recipe. So an additional 50 calories have been burnt simply by eating that particular food via the negative calorie diet. These calories are taken from the bodys fat reserves in the negative calorie diet recipe.
A negative calorie diet recipe includes particular fruits and vegetables. These are apples, asparagus, beets, blueberries, broccoli, cantaloupes, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cranberries, cucumber, garlic, grapefruit, green cabbage, oranges, papaya, pineapple, spinach, strawberries, turnip, watermelon, zucchini, and several more found in the negative calorie diet recipe. Allthese types of foods are very healthy and nutritious at the same time complementing the negative calorie diet recipe. So this negative calorie diet recipe is particularly beneficial for our body.
There is no point in wasting time with diets that you know you are never going to follow. Eating tasteless food, diet pills, zero calories diet and neither is starving yourselves or your food cravings going to help.
You can indeed achieve the slim and trim look you want without going into hunger pangs. Simply choose a diet that you would love to follow and you will see amazing results there are many different types of diets that you can choose from.
In some of these diets, you can actually continue eating your normal food portions while working towards the body type that you desire.
The brain doesn't function as well. The thyroid is suppressed. Blood sugar can become imbalanced. We might lose bone density or experience decreased muscle tissue. There is a risk of higher blood pressure, lowered immune capacity and inflammatory responses. Additionally, too much cortisol actually contributes to abdominal fat; the very condition we are trying to avoid.
By supplying a constant level of whole foods, our bodies can more competently respond. The full regimen of B-vitamins (most readily available from whole grains), not only provide stress-calming chemicals for our brain, but lubricates our joints, aids in digestion, and affords us a slow-and-steady release of nutrients, so that sugar levels do not rise or fall suddenly.
The vitamins and minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables nourish internal organs, provide energy and promote calmness. (We are, by now, familiar with the benefits of calcium, magnesium, vitamin c, and zinc for countering stress and protecting our immune system).
Not only does the action of releasing cortisol send messages to other hormone-producing organs to shut down growth, reproduction and immune systems; but the adverse side-effects of long-term cortisol production are well-documented.

In China, herbal method has been treated for along time. Nowadays, it's not strange if American use that treatment. There is a fast-growing interest among people today regarding alternative medicines and therapies. This interest includes the herbal remedies and dietary supplements market. In fact, it's a safe bet that many large supermarkets in your local area feature an aisle or two specifically for natural medicines alone. A quick browse through the World Wide Web about health problems and topics will reveal advertisements and articles about natural health products that claim to help consumers with everything from migraines to sexual deficiencies.
When they are used properly in combination with a patient's overall health regimen, these natural health products can be effective and safe. More and more people are observed to be taking an active part in taking care of their health, and this is a good thing. What makes it a problem, though, is the lack of information that patients sometimes have, especially when it comes to self-presciption medicines. With that in mind, it is valuable to know the following rules-of-thumb regarding botanicals and herbal remedies:
Don't immediately think that taking a natural medicine is safe for you. Alternative medicines from plants or herbs can also be dangerous when taken improperly. These natural medicines are usually needed to be taken in strong dosages, or at least strong enough to be effective. It's good to remember that they also have contra-indications, just like other medicines. Usually these contra-indications happen when abnormally large dosages are taken, or if the herb is taken over a prolonged amount of time.
Goji Berries are getting much acclaim lately for being health food products, usually marketed as either Himalayan goji or Tibetan goji. One source indicates that Goji Berries have been a mainstay of Traditional Chinese Medicine for around 1,900 years already. According to Chinese legend, Goji Berries were also used by Shen Nung who is believed to have been the First Emperor of China. Goji Berries are now considered a health food because research has shown that it has antioxidants and nutrients aplenty, which may explain why Goji Berries are also now classified as one of the superfruits. Demand for superfruits like Goji Berries is expected to reach the billion-dollar mark by year 2011.
The Goji Berries you may be familiar with are usually of an ellipsoidal shape and bright red, with each of the Goji Berries filled with up to sixty seeds. Goji Berries that are planted in countries in the Northern Hemisphere may ripen in the months of July, August, September and October.
Nowadays, Goji Berries are planted in commercial quantities in north central China (in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region) and in western China (in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.) The size of a typical plantation of Goji Berries can start at 100 acres and extend to up to 1000 acres in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Ningxia has been found to produce some of the top Goji Berries variety which are sometimes called the red diamonds commercial variety.

Pleurisy, also called pleuritis, is an inflammation of the pleura. Pleurisy can be generated by a variety of infectious and non-infectious causes. Pleurisy is caused by swelling and irritation of the membrane that surrounds the lungs. Certain autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus) can irritate the pleura. It is usually a symptom of another illness. It is also called Pleuritic Chest Pain. Pleurisy can develop from many things, including bacterial or viral infections of the lungs (such as pneumonia), TB, lupus, chest injury or trauma, a blood clot in the lung, or cancer. Sometimes a cause cannot be found. The effects of pleurisy can often be felt long after the condition has gone away.The hallmark of pleurisy is severe chest pain that starts suddenly.
The pain is often strong or stabbing when you take a deep breath. It usually subsides or disappears between breaths. It's usually felt on one side of the stomach area or lower chest. Deep breathing and coughing often make it worse. Pleurisy causes fluid to collect inside the lung area. Breathing may be rapid and shallow because deep breathing induces pain; the muscles on the painful side move less than those on the other side. When an accumulation of fluids (pleural effusion) is associated with pleurisy, the pain usually disappears because the fluid serves as a lubricant. Treatment depends on what is causing the pleurisy. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory form of arthritis that causes joint pain and damage. It affecting more than two million people in the United States. Rheumatoid arthritis attacks the lining of your joints (synovium) causing swelling that can result in aching and throbbing and eventually deformity. Sometimes rheumatoid arthritis symptoms make even the simplest activities — such as opening a jar or taking a walk — difficult to manage. Rheumatoid arthritis is two to three times more common in women than in men and generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 60. But rheumatoid arthritis can also affect young children and older adults. It is commonly polyarticular; that is, it affects many joints.
About seventy-five percent of those affected are women, and 1–3% of women may develop rheumatoid arthritis is their lifetime. The disease most often begins between the fourth and sixth decades of life; however, RA can develop at any age. RA usually affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles are the most commonly affected.Rheumatoid arthritis is two to three times more common in women than in men and generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 60. But rheumatoid arthritis can also affect young children and older adults. Inflammation, soft tissue swelling, and the involvement of multiple joints are common signs and symptoms that distinguish rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis from non-inflammatory arthritis such as osteoarthritis.
Treatments include medicine, lifestyle changes and surgery. These can slow or stop joint damage and reduce pain and swelling. To quickly reduce joint inflammation and symptoms, first-line treatment usually consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin and others), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), celecoxib (Celebrex) and many others.

There are politicians who are flat-out anti-environmental---they just don't buy the argument. As long as they state their case plainly and honestly, we can at least respect their right to their opinion, however misinformed it may be. Others, however, have taken to deceit, crafting back-room deals that are a negative for the environment but then trying to sell the public on the new regulations by claiming they're an environmental improvement. We think that's a clear form of environmental hypocrisy and can be described as "listen to what I say, but don't watch what I do." Let's go through a few examples.
In campaign speeches prior to the 2000 election, George W. Bush promised to do something about global warming if elected president. The insincerity of the promise was made clear shortly after he took office when he reneged on his pledge, claiming that joining the Kyoto protocol would hurt the US economy. In reality, doing something about global warming would hurt only some industries---notably Big Energy and Big Auto, both heavy contributors to the Bush campaign. Overall, delaying action on global warming will cost us far more in the long run. Making a promise to do something about global warming without any intention of keeping the promise it was a form of environmental hypocrisy.
To those people who take a pro-life stance, we ask: Is the health of a child already born not just as important to you as the health of a child still in the womb? If so, do you voice your opinions on childhood health care and the above environmental issues as strongly as you voice your opinions on abortion?
Our intention here is not to debate the merits of pro-choice vs. pro-life but rather to say that it is hypocritical to be supremely worried about the fate of unborn children while being unconcerned about things (environmental or otherwise) that affect already-born children.
Gore and Kennedy are both doing good work on behalf of the environment—they rank in the Top 10 of the world's most effective environmental advocates. And they both no doubt make plenty of eco-friendly lifestyle choices. But to be a high-profile environmentalist and not fully walk the talk—even if only in terms of the perception they create—is hugely problematic. The public does not like hypocrites, environmental or otherwise, and giving opponents of environmental progress the opportunity to throw hypocritical mud on your righteous arguments reduces the power of your message and distracts people from the real issues. For some in the audience, these slight negatives weigh heavily against the overwhelmingly positive work Kennedy and Gore do.
We find most mainstream environmental groups to be fairly on-target with their overall goals and methods, but we think some of them act hypocritically occasionally. For instance, most major US environmental groups are silent on the issue of global population—and, more specifically, silent on the issue of US population.
Remember that one's individual environmental footprint is roughly based on the amount of energy and resources used and the amount of waste produced. The total US environmental footprint is based on the average individual environmental footprint of a US resident times the number of people in the country. Since the average individual environmental footprint in the US is very big compared to the global average, adding more people in the US is clearly an environmental negative.
To talk about the problem of US population growth only in terms of sprawl is dishonest. But the US population level—and ways to check its growth—is a touchy issue, and green groups would "rather not go there."

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Planet Earth's current warming trend is based largely on natural warming and cooling cycles that have been happening for eons; as well as human-caused additions to greenhouse gases, which are boosting the atmosphere's ability to trap heat in the biosphere. Minor factors like an overall increase in the sun's solar intensity play a smaller role.
While greenhouse gases are an essential component of a livable planet—they're what keep Earth from being a lifeless ball of ice—humans are causing greenhouse gas levels to increase so quickly that it's causing the average global temperature to rise much faster than it would naturally.
It's worth remembering that global warming is based on an increasing average global temperature. Some parts of the planet (such as the Arctic) are getting warmer much faster than other areas. It's even possible that some regions could actually experience regional cooling at the same time the planet as a whole is experiencing global warming. Here's how.
The "thermohaline circulation" in the world's oceans is part of the planet's temperature regulation system. It can warm or cool regional climates to make their average temperatures different that they would be normally based on their latitude.
The most notable example of this is how the Gulf Stream brings warm water up from the tropics to make Europe much warmer than it would be naturally. This part of the thermohaline circulation is dependent on regular additions of fresh water from melting Arctic ice (which is replaced every year through additional snowfall). If the flow of fresh Arctic water decreases enough, it could slow or even stop the thermohaline circulation, leading to cooler temperatures in Europe—even at the same time other areas are experiencing severe temperature increases.
There's more than one offender in the crime of laying waste to the planet's old growth forests for inappropriate purposes, but one the biggest is Kimberly-Clark, the largest tissue-products company in the world, with sales in 150 countries. Some of the Kimberly-Clark brands of disposable paper products you're likely to see on supermarket shelves are Kleenex Facial Tissues, Scott Toilet Paper and Paper Towels, Cottonelle Toilet Paper, and Viva Paper Towels. The company also sells toilet paper and tissues to large institutions like universities, high schools, governments, and businesses. In North America, only about 1/5 of the pulp that Kimberly-Clark uses for its disposable tissue products comes from recycled sources, and most of that goes into the products that go to large institutions, not consumers.
In 2004, Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council set their sights on Kimberly-Clark's practice of sacrificing virgin forests at the Altar of Blowing and Wiping, particularly as the practice applies to Canada's ancient Boreal forests. The goal of their "Kleercut" campaign is to get consumers involved in pressuring Kimberly-Clark to stop this unnecessary, wasteful practice.
Now, just in case your germ-a-phobic subconscious is wondering whether recycled paper is really clean enough to be used in paper products destined for such personal purposes, yes it is. The process that takes recycled-paper pulp and turns it into soft, perfect little pieces of napkin, paper towel, toilet paper, or facial tissue also ensures that the products are sanitary.
So, what brands can you buy with a clear conscience? The table below lists the top "green" brands and provides statistics on their use of recycled paper and what portion of the recycled paper is post-consumer content (PCC)—ie what portion of the recycled paper comes from people's recycle bins. It's also worth noting that the top four brands we list are all free of chlorine bleach, which is another environmental problem.

Most employees in this industry work in clean, comfortable surroundings in broadcast stations and studios. Some employees work in the production of shows and broadcasting while other employees work in advertising, sales, promotions, and marketing.
Television news teams made up of reporters, camera operators, and technicians travel in electronic news-gathering vehicles to various locations to cover news stories. Although such location work is exciting, some assignments, such as reporting on military conflicts or natural disasters, may be dangerous. These assignments may also require outdoor work under adverse weather conditions.
Camera operators working on such news teams must have the physical stamina to carry and set up their equipment. Broadcast technicians on electronic news-gathering trucks must ensure that the mobile unit's antenna is correctly positioned for optimal transmission quality and to prevent electrocution from power lines. Field service engineers work on outdoor transmitting equipment and may have to climb poles or antenna towers; their work can take place under a variety of weather conditions. Broadcast technicians who maintain and set up equipment may have to do heavy lifting. Technological changes have enabled camera operators also to fulfill the tasks of broadcast technicians, operating the transmission and editing equipment on a remote broadcasting truck. News operations, programming, and engineering employees work under a great deal of pressure in order to meet deadlines. As a result, these workers are likely to experience varied or erratic work schedules, often working on early morning or late evening news programs.
Sales workers may face stress meeting sales goals. Aside from sometimes erratic work schedules, management and administrative workers typically find themselves in an environment similar to any other office.
For many people, the excitement of working in broadcasting compensates for the demanding nature of the work. Although this industry is noted for its high pressure and long hours, the work is generally not hazardous.
Occupations at large broadcast stations and networks fall into five general categories: Program production, news-related, technical, sales, and general administration. At small stations, jobs are less specialized, and employees often perform several functions. Although on-camera or on-air positions are the most familiar occupations in broadcasting, the majority of employment opportunities are behind the scenes (table 1).
Program production occupations. Most television programs are produced by the motion picture and video industry; actors, directors, and producers working on these prerecorded programs are not employed by the broadcasting industry. Employees in program production occupations at television and radio stations create programs such as news, talk, and music shows.
Assistant producers provide clerical support and background research; assist with the preparation of musical, written, and visual materials; and time productions to make sure that they do not run over schedule. Assistant producers also may operate cameras and other audio and video equipment.
Video editors select and assemble pretaped video to create a finished program, applying sound and special effects as necessary. Conventional editing requires assembling pieces of videotape in a linear fashion to create a finished product. The editor first assembles the beginning of the program, and then, works sequentially towards the end. Newer computerized editing allows an editor to electronically cut and paste video segments. This electronic technique is known as nonlinear editing because the editor is no longer restricted to working sequentially; a segment may be moved at any time to any location in the program.
Producers plan and develop live or taped productions, determining how the show will look and sound. They select the script, talent, sets, props, lighting, and other production elements. Producers also coordinate the activities of on-air personalities, production staff, and other personnel. Web site or Internet producers, a relatively new occupation in the broadcasting industry, plan and develop Internet sites that provide news updates, program schedules, and information about popular shows. These producers decide what will appear on the Internet sites, and design and maintain them.
Announcers read news items and provide other information, such as program schedules and station breaks for commercials or public service information. Many radio announcers are referred to as disc jockeys; they play recorded music on radio stations. Disc jockeys may take requests from listeners; interview guests; and comment on the music, weather, or traffic. Most stations now have placed all of their advertisements, sound bites, and music on a computer, which is used to select and play or edit the items. Technological advances have simplified the monitoring and adjusting of the transmitter, leaving disc jockeys responsible for most of the tasks associated with keeping a station on the air. Traditional tapes and CDs are used only as backups in case of a computer failure. Announcers and disc jockeys need a good speaking voice; the latter also need a significant knowledge of music.
Program directors are in charge of on-air programming in radio stations. Program directors decide what type of music will be played, supervise on-air personnel, and often select the specific songs and the order in which they will be played. Considerable experience, usually as a disc jockey, is required, as well as a thorough knowledge of music.
News-related occupations. News, weather, and sports reports are important to many television stations because these reports attract a large audience and account for a large proportion of revenue. Many radio stations depend on up-to-the-minute news for a major share of their programming. Program production staff, such as producers and announcers, also work on the production of news programs.
Reporters gather information from various sources, analyze and prepare news stories, and present information on the air. Correspondents report on news occurring in US and foreign cities in which they are stationed. Newswriters write and edit news stories from information collected by reporters. Newswriters may advance to positions as reporters or correspondents.
Broadcast news analysts, also known as news anchors, analyze, interpret, and broadcast news received from various sources. News anchors present news stories and introduce videotaped news or live transmissions from on-the-scene reporters. Newscasters at large stations may specialize in a particular field. Weathercasters, also called weather reporters, report current and forecasted weather conditions. They gather information from national satellite weather services, wire services, and local and regional weather bureaus. Some weathercasters are trained atmospheric scientists and can develop their own weather forecasts. Sportscasters, who are responsible for reporting sporting events, usually select, write, and deliver the sports news for each newscast.
Assistant news directors supervise the newsroom; they coordinate wire service reports, tape or film inserts, and stories from individual newswriters and reporters. Assignment editors assign stories to news teams, sending the teams on location if necessary.
News directors have overall responsibility for the news team made up of reporters, writers, editors, and newscasters as well as studio and mobile unit production crews. This senior administrative position entails responsibilities that include determining what events to cover, and how and when they will be presented in a news broadcast.
Technical occupations. Employees in these occupations operate and maintain the electronic equipment that records and transmits radio or television programs. The titles of some of these occupations use the terms "engineer," "technician," and "operator" interchangeably.
Radio operators manage equipment that regulates the signal strength, clarity, and range of sounds and colors of broadcasts. They also monitor and log outgoing signals and operate transmitters. Audio and video equipment technicians operate equipment to regulate the volume, sound quality, brightness, contrast, and visual quality of a broadcast. Broadcast technicians set up and maintain electronic broadcasting equipment. Their work can extend outside the studio, as when they set up portable transmitting equipment or maintain stationary towers.
Television and video camera operators set up and operate studio cameras, which are used in the television studio, and electronic news gathering cameras, which are mobile and used outside the studio when a news team is pursuing a story at another location. Camera operators need training in video production as well as some experience in television production.
Master control engineers ensure that all of the radio or television station's scheduled program elements, such as on-location feeds, prerecorded segments, and commercials, are smoothly transmitted. They also are responsible for ensuring that transmissions meet FCC requirements.
Technical directors direct the studio and control room technical staff during the production of a program. They need a thorough understanding of both the production and technical aspects of broadcasting; this knowledge often is acquired by working as a lighting director or camera operator, or as another type of broadcast worker.
Network and computer systems administrators and network systems and data communications analysts design, set up, and maintain systems of computer servers. These servers store recorded programs, advertisements, and news clips.
Assistant chief engineers oversee the day-to-day technical operations of the station. Chief engineers or directors of engineering are responsible for all of the station's technical facilities and services. These workers need a bachelors' degree in electrical engineering, technical training in broadcast engineering, and years of broadcast engineering experience.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Phishing on AOL was closely associated with the warez community that exchanged pirated software. Those who would later phish on AOL during the 1990s originally used fake, algorithmically generated credit card numbers to create accounts on AOL, which could last weeks or possibly months. After AOL brought in measures in late 1995 to prevent this, early AOL crackers resorted to phishing for legitimate accounts.
A phisher might pose as an AOL staff member and send an instant message to a potential victim, asking him to reveal his password. In order to lure the victim into giving up sensitive information the message might include imperatives like "verify your account" or "confirm billing information". Once the victim had revealed the password, the attacker could access and use the victim's account for criminal purposes, such as spamming. Both phishing and warezing on AOL generally required custom-written programs, such as AOHell. Phishing became so prevalent on AOL that they added a line on all instant messages stating: "no one working at AOL will ask for your password or billing information".
After 1997, AOL's policy enforcement with respect to phishing and warez became stricter and forced pirated software off AOL servers. AOL simultaneously developed a system to promptly deactivate accounts involved in phishing, often before the victims could respond. The shutting down of the warez scene on AOL caused most phishers to leave the service, and many phishers—often young teens—grew out of the habit.
The capture of AOL account information may have led phishers to misuse credit card information, and to the realisation that attacks against online payment systems were feasible. The first known direct attempt against a payment system affected E-gold in June 2001, which was followed up by a "post-911 id check" shortly after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Both were viewed at the time as failures, but can now be seen as early experiments towards more fruitful attacks against mainstream banks. By 2004, phishing was recognized as a fully industrialized part of the economy of crime: specializations emerged on a global scale that provided components for cash, which were assembled into finished attacks.
Not all phishing attacks require a fake website. Messages that claimed to be from a bank told users to dial a phone number regarding problems with their bank accounts. Once the phone number (owned by the phisher, and provided by a Voice over IP service) was dialed, prompts told users to enter their account numbers and PIN. Voice phishing sometimes uses fake caller-ID data to give the appearance that calls come from a trusted organization.
The damage caused by phishing ranges from denial of access to email to substantial financial loss. This style of identity theft is becoming more popular, because of the readiness with which unsuspecting people often divulge personal information to phishers, including credit card numbers, social security numbers, and mothers' maiden names. There are also fears that identity thieves can add such information to the knowledge they gain simply by accessing public records. Once this information is acquired, the phishers may use a person's details to create fake accounts in a victim's name. They can then ruin the victims' credit, or even deny the victims access to their own accounts.

Serving dual interests is my interest this month. Here's a list I hope will appeal to both prospective parents and writers who are stumped for some good character names. The focus is on names used between the Norman Conquest and the year 1300 in England, names that have in some cases been out of circulation for many years, but might now safely be revived.
Finding appropriate period names can be a real challenge for a writer. While medieval England is not the most common story timeframe, medieval names certainly hold more surprises than a later period might offer. In trying to serve the dual interests of writer and parent, I've selected those names I think are most appealing to the modern ear. There are some names, like Nest, for a girl, or Godelot, for a boy, which probably just don't stand the test of time.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you are going to be a landlord, I strongly advise having a well-prepared lease. A good lease will solidify the verbal agreement and important criteria between the landlord and the tenant. It will also be your strongest ally should a dispute arise between you and your tenant. A properly entered lease will go farther in solving landlord/tenant disputes than any other document you have. In 99 percent of the cases, it is your first weapon in a courtroom battle.
Finding a lease.
So once you understand what a lease is, the next question becomes, "Where does one find a good rental lease?"
That's an excellent question. One in fact, that I was having trouble solving for the scope of my book, How to Find That Quality Tenant. Fortunately, as I wrote the chapter on leases, I was determined not to let the problem stop me from helping you find or develop a good lease. Therefore, let's begin with me telling you how you go about finding a lease that best fits your needs. As far as I am concerned there are basically three ways. I'll list each of them along with the advantages and disadvantages associated with each choice.
Draft your own. (Should you choose to do this, read my article on the contents of a lease available on the articles page at http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com to better understand what should be in a lease)
The advantage: it is cheap.
The disadvantage: you could make some costly legal mistakes by not having enough information or the wrong information in your lease.
If you choose to draft a lease yourself, there are books you can purchase that will walk you through the process, although I cannot say how well they work, because I have personally never tried to draft my own lease.
You can pick one up at an office supply store.
Advantage: It is easy to do.
Disadvantage: It could be too general to offer adequate protection. When you need a lease right now, these store-bought leases can do the trick since they are so easy to find. They are cheap and simple but will offer the least amount of protection out of the three lease options.
You could have a real estate lawyer draft you a lease.
Advantage: It is tailor fit, offering you the best overall protection.
Disadvantage: It is more costly, although not nearly as costly as a poorly drafted lease followed by a tenant dispute.
As you can probably guess by that last comment, I recommend using a real estate lawyer to draft a lease. They know the laws for your state, county, and locale, and have a good idea which landlord/tenant disputes are most likely to trip you up. Let their expertise and past experiences work to your advantage.
In addition, when you are a landlord, you have at least some financial net worth; definitely more than your tenants will have. This automatically makes you prone to frivolous lawsuits and unwarranted demands by those tenants.
A properly drafted lease will offer maximum custom protection against many of the possible lawsuits and demands landlords are exposed to. Therefore, I would advise you to have a lawyer draft your lease and to do it from the time you put that first tenant in your first rental.
I know money can be extremely tight when you are first entering your landlording career, but I highly recommend using a lawyer from the beginning for this reason. If you draft your own lease or use a store-bought one and you have reasonable success with it for a couple of tenants, you could be lulled into a false sense of security. When you reach this point, you will never pay a professional to draft a lease for you until you end up with a legal dispute, which may of course, be too late.
Take my recommendation and spend the money initially on a lawyer structured lease.
(I am not a lawyer; therefore, if you have any legal concerns with anything in this article, please contact the appropriate legal counsel).

Article Title: Are You A Landlord With Dangerous Dogs?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
I believe the topic of dangerous dogs is one of the fastest growing safety concerns for a landlord at this time. Unlike the lead based paint issue which has state and now federal regulations to curb the potential dangers, the topic of dangerous dogs is still pretty much unregulated and open for discussion. Mix in the fact that the dangerous dog issue is often a personal and emotional one, and things can become very sensitive very quickly. (I have many interesting and eye-opening stories in my report on Dangerous Dogs available free on my website at http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com).
To cut right to the chase, certain cities in the country are labeling certain dogs as dangerous, and these cities have different trains of thought on how to handle the potential liability these dogs can create. Some of these cities now have ordinances along these lines which say: if you own one of these dogs, you need a $500,000 insurance policy, a 6-foot fence to contain the dog, and a kennel. They also say if the animal is out of the kennel, it needs to be muzzled.
Other cities have no such ordinance. But, just because the city doesn't have established ordinances doesn't mean these dogs are any less dangerous. It just means nothing extremely traumatic has occurred within the city, regarding these dogs that would result in such an ordinance being established.
Suppose you rented a house in a town with no ordinances for dangerous dogs, but your tenants have an aggressive dog that might be on a list if one was obtainable. Now let's suppose that dog does get out of the yard and attacks a neighborhood child, causing permanent injury to the child. What happens next? Well, for starters, you know there will be a lawsuit and there is a good chance you the landlord will be sued since almost any lawyer will decide you have more assets to attack than the dog's owner, who owns nothing but the dog.
If you were named in a lawsuit, your one recourse for protection, besides having your rental in some kind of cooperation or other legal entity, is to see if your insurance company will fight the lawsuit for/with you. This seems to be the logical next step and one which most landlords would pursue.
This idea has some merit but let me warn you, nowadays, certain insurance companies are refusing or canceling homeowner's insurance if you have what is considered a dangerous dog living on the property. If you own the property and a tenant has a dog that bites someone, but that tenant doesn't have adequate insurance to cover the dog bite, you could be held responsible and your homeowner's insurance may not pay. That in and of itself should be enough to possibly make you ban these dogs from your property, but the issue brings up another question: What if the tenant has a dog they keep insured?
As far as I'm concerned, the answer is a complicated one. Some people say if a landlord's tenant is insured for the dog and something happens, then the landlord is legally off the hook. I don't agree. In a modern society where people can win multimillion-dollar settlements for hot coffee spilled on them, anything can happen in a lawsuit.
As a landlord I wouldn't want to chance it, and here's the main reason: When a victim receives a dog bite or worse, someone has to compensate the victim. I guarantee you that the owner of the dog, in this case your tenant, has probably zero in assets to compensate the victim. You, the landlord, however, are probably worth millions—at least in the jury's eyes—so you could very well be listed in that lawsuit. Landlords have assets. If you want to protect them, be careful about these dogs.
So how do you draw a line on what dogs you will consider dangerous? If you want to rent to dog owners and wish to exclude potentially dangerous dogs, try this: call the city or town your rental is and find out their dog list and corresponding regulations. Then call your insurance agent that insures the rental and get a list from them. (Careful: some agents represent many companies, so make sure you are actually getting the list from the company that insures the house.) Now, write up your own list using both the city and the insurance agent's information. Add any dog you feel should be on the list. Date and sign the list. Make a copy of this list and keep it handy for any time you rent your dwelling. Update it about once a year.
Doing things this way will help ensure that you don't illegally discriminate and will go a long way toward keeping your investment asset a little safer.

Most landlords know that they need a lease agreement between them and the tenants that rent their properties. What a lot of a landlords do not know is all the topics that should be covered in that lease. Read this brief article to better understand this subject.
No matter which way you decide to come up with your rental lease, you'll need some tools to help you get the best lease possible. Personally, I am fan of checklists, so it only makes good sense to use one to help you understand what you should have in the lease you eventually decide to use
The checklist below is probably very close to the same one a lawyer would use for reference if he or she were drafting a lease for a client. This checklist will be extremely consistent, wherever you live.
We will go through the checklist and I will give a brief explanation of each item as I list it. Keep in mind that not every item may not be necessary, but should be considered. A good lawyer can help you decide.
Parties—the people involved in the lease. Each person or entity is a party to a lease. You could have two parties or many parties to a lease.
Names—all parties or entities on the lease need to be named.
Address—of the parties if different than the leased address.
Other identification—as needed.
Subject of the lease
Address or legal description of the property; address of the property being rented.
Lessee's purpose—whether residential, commercial, farm use, etc.
Restrictions on use of property—limits on use and occupancy.
Duration of agreement or option for lease—length of contract including starting and ending dates.
Provisions to be included in subsequent lease
Parties—usually refers to names of minors/pets.
Subject term—fixed day when rent is due and when considered late.
Rental payments—amount of payment and security deposit.
Access to property—right to enter property for emergency, repairs, or timely condition review.
Designation of party responsible for repairs—who's responsible for what repairs and action taken if repairs not completed in a timely manner.
Identification of appurtenance--what goes with or is related to the rented premises (appliances, equipment, etc.)
Liability for utilities—who pays sewer, water, garbage, and so forth.
Liability for taxes and assessments—in some leases, the tenants are responsible for these items.
Renewal option provisions—conditions and time frame for lease renewal of premises.
Purchase option provisions—conditions and time frame for purchase of premises.
Transferability of lease agreement—whether you can sublease or not.
Date of execution—when the lease was signed by parties.
Signatures—signatures of parties.
This completes the checklist that you may use to structure your rental lease. It is very likely and actually quite common that you might include other provisions in your lease other than those listed.
For instance, many people write their rules and regulations into the lease itself. These regulations cover such things as noise, lockouts, pets, and parking. Other landlords simply hand out the rules as an afterthought, but might write out amendments to their standard lease as they feel it's needed.
Whatever you decide to include in your lease, make sure it can do its' job where necessary; in a court of law.

Capitalizing on the fastest growing global Internet trend.
The global Internet community continues to grow at an amazing rate. From 70 million people in December of 1997, as reported by International Data Group, to 1,245 million in September of 2007 as forecast by Internet World Stats. Representing a growth from 1.7% of the worlds population to 18.9% in a short span of just 10 years and that's only the beginning.
In those very few years, the Internet has morphed into a very powerful platform that has changed the way we communicate with each other and the way we do our everyday business. The Internet, as with no other medium, has expanded the International or Global dimension of the world. It has become a universal source of information and business opportunities. For a very low investment, anyone can create a web page for social or business networking. Almost any individual or business, no matter the size or the location, can reach a very large market, socially or for e-commerce, fast and economically.
With that said, it brings us to one of the fastest, if not the fastest, growing segments of the world wide web, business and social networking communities. We've all heard of them and many have participated in some, such as MySpace, YouTube, MSN Groups, Blogger and the list goes on and on. If we had all been very smart, had a crystal ball and a few extra shekels laying around, we would have all invested in these companies and retired somewhat the better.
The latest rapidly growing segment of the networking community is online business networking sites.
With a global outreach this type of site can reach the ever expanding global populace using the internet, allowing them to connect with virtually any individual or business. Anyone can use networking sites to expand their business while making invaluable contacts world wide and to do some of the easiest, cheapest and smartest form of advertising available.
The latest and maybe the most interesting of the next generation of networking sites is called the gibLink Community, standing for Global Internet Business Community. This new business and social Internet community has incorporated global revenue sharing into the mix so that all of its advertisers/subscribers can have a share of the revenues generated. Now let's imagine a global Internet community with millions of business people from around the globe, networking and sharing ideas, and now benefiting from a revenue sharing plan. Ponder this: How much is Google worth? You get the picture.
Just launched two weeks ago on October 15th Forbes business magazine had this to say about gibLink:
"On Monday, September 24th the giblink conference call was swamped with over 20,000 people who wanted information.
What if you had had the chance to revenue share with the owners of MySpace, YouTube, GoDaddy or Google? That would be the opportunity of the century!!!!
Now imagine for a moment, a company that could bring all the best elements of these companies under one roof with a primary focus on a business social networking community, designed for small, medium and even home business entrepreneurs around the world to promote, advertise and expand their core business to compete in the global marketplace."
All in all gibLink has set itself up to be a Global Internet Business community designed to make connections that count and:
• Promote yourself and your business
• Create a network of business connections
• Promote to new potential customers and like minded people around the globe
• Create a network of business connections to refer business to each other
• Expose your business to a Global Audience
• Publicize and find forthcoming Business and Social Events
• Create and announce Blogs, Clubs and Classified Ads
• Expand your business to capitalize on the hottest in-demand web services globally
• Expose your business to a Global Audience
gibLink is set to change the way people do business and it is the first worldwide collaboration of entrepreneurs from across a very wide business spectrum. We can view gibLink as the next evolution in online business networking or social networking sites designed to aid everyone doing business in a new global business environment.
One of my very favorite sayings applies oh so well to a new global venture such as the gibLink Community: If you do today what you did yesterday, will you be where you want to be tomorrow?
God Bless and Always Remember To Make It A Great Day!!

Article Title: Rental Cleanliness And Curb Appeal

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If there was only one thing that you as a landlord could do to guarantee you have your fair share of quality tenant choices, it is to make your dwelling as clean and eye appealing as possible. Tenants like clean. Tenants want clean. And quality tenants will pay for clean. (Quality tenants expect other things too. Go to my website at http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com to find out what).
Offering a rental that is cleaner, with more eye appeal than your competition, will often be the edge you need to find quality tenants. This image begins with what is referred to in the industry as curb appeal. Simply stated, curb appeal is how the property looks from the street.
Outside.
To achieve good curb appeal, I highly recommend spending a little extra preparation time on the front of the house. Start with the yard. Cut back low-lying branches. Trim the bushes. Put in some hostas or easy to manage seasonal bushes. Edge them out and spread a little mulch around. Pick up loose trash and pull the weeds, especially in the cracks of the driveway and sidewalks. Take time to grow grass in the bare spots in the yard. Mow the lawn.
On the house itself, start by washing down the exterior. If the house looks drab, splash on some color by adding shutters to the facade. The easy-to-install shutters sold at most discount/hardware stores are inexpensive and will change the look of your rental with a minimal amount of effort. If, after you add shutters, you still wish to add more pizzazz to the dwelling, paint the front door the same color as the shutters. To finish off the look of the house, add a decorative flag or classy lawn ornament to give the place a little character.
When you are done, step to the curb and look at your property as a whole. What you see is what the tenants will see. The very first thing they will see. Will they be impressed, or will they walk away?
Inside.
Cleanliness inside the home is also extremely important. Nobody wants to begin living in their new home surrounded by someone else's filth. For this reason, everything needs to look, smell, and feel clean. Begin by making sure all walls, ceilings, and trim work is freshly painted, void of holes, and free of cobwebs. Non-carpeted floors should be swept, mopped, and polished.
Carpeted areas should be professionally cleaned between each and every tenant, no matter how short their tenancy was. Carpets hold dust mites, odors, and about every other germ imaginable. Parents hate the thought of their kids rolling around on someone else's germ-infested carpet.
I know that many landlords have their own carpet cleaning machines and prefer to take on this task themselves, therefore pocketing the savings. I tried this too but was very unhappy with the results. It was a lot of work and I never seemed to get out the stains and dirt like the pros could. I mean, let's face it: they have better equipment and superior knowledge to attack stains and other problems. For these reasons, I recommend you use professional carpet cleaners.
.As you can probably guess, in addition to cleaning carpet, walls, and trims, extra effort should be used in preparation of the kitchen and bathrooms. These rooms can make or break how your house rates on someone's clean-o-meter. Dirty kitchens and baths give tenant prospects illusions of germ infested environments and unhealthy living. Substandard cleanliness in these two areas is the surest way to lose potential quality tenants. Thoroughly clean the kitchen and baths and if you have any doubts that they are clean enough, clean them again. If the thought of cleaning other people's messes repulses you, hire it out.
While you are cleaning the house for display, don't forget those often overlooked, neglected areas: ceiling fan blades and lights, fingerprints around doorknobs and light switches, all vents and grills, behind and underneath appliances, mirrors, windows, window sills, and any other place you would normally forget to clean.
Another thought to remember is when landlords prepare their dwellings for rent, they generally concentrate on the visual aspect of the task. Most people fail to remember that the sense of smell is a very powerful sense, especially in women. I recommend you remove all possible sources of unpleasant odors days in advance of the first showing. It would probably be worth the effort of placing a couple of air fresheners around the dwelling. Try using the kind you plug into an outlet, which slowly release an attractive smell for up to a month at a time. The key to success is to have the place smell nice before a single tenant prospect walks though the door.
I know that cleaning a rental to the standards I recommend can be a lot of work. Personally, I dislike it so much I hire it out. Even so, I know for a fact that I consistently rent my dwellings for above market rents, to quality tenants, and I'm sure it is because they always have superb curb appeal and are extra clean. Please, take my advice; Go Clean!

Whether you're buying groceries for the family, building a website, or placing tenants in your rental, things seem to go better when you have a way to document your process. Once I discovered that this was true, I decided to start using a checklist to get me through my tenant selection process. I now use this checklist for each and every new tenant that I place in my rentals. This checklist has made my life a lot easier and saved me from missing critical information or skipping an important step.
The checklist I'm about to share with you is designed to be used from the time you meet with the tenant prospects to fill out the application, and continue through the lease signing process. A couple areas may seem unfamiliar to you. If so, please make reference to my book, "How to Find that Quality Tenant", for an explanation. (If you have trouble locating this book, visit my website at http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com)

3. ____Check personal references
4. ____Check credit
5. ____Check cash flow

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The year 1971 was a very pivotal year for me in terms of growing up and viewing the world differently. I was 10 years old and was getting a look at life around me without rose-colored glasses. For starters, that was the first year I experienced death in my short life—well, at least a death I could remember. My first grandfather passed away when I was three or four years old, leaving me with very faint memories of him. In 1971, when my second grandfather passed away, I was old enough to be effected by his death, and even though I wasn't extremely close to him, I had enough memories and understood how his passing would impact me.
It was also during this year that I was introduced to Archie Bunker. My newly widowed grandmother suddenly had a lot of extra time on her hands, and to occupy that time, she began watching more television. All in the Family was introduced in 1971 and it quickly became one of her favorite shows. Since she lived almost directly across the street from us, and because kids love to go to Grandma's house, it only made sense that I was at her place quite a bit. So consequently, I was exposed to Archie Bunker and his views on life.
For those of you who don't know Archie Bunker, let me describe him for you: Archie believed himself to be America's most patriotic and vocal citizen. He had an opinion or explanation about anything and everything. Unfortunately, he couldn't communicate those thoughts without yelling, arguing, labeling, discriminating, or showing his true ignorance and lack of education on whatever topic was at hand. Of course, to make matters worse, he never saw these faults in himself and didn't want them acknowledged by anybody else.
All in the Family was a great show because it covered topics that had never been previously addressed on primetime TV. By touching on these issues, the cast helped to show all of America something we didn't really want to admit: There may be a little of Archie Bunker in all of us.
This brings me to the point of the story and why I am beginning this chapter with it. Perhaps we all possess some of Archie Bunker's negative character traits but just don't want to 'fess up to it. Some traits are worse than others and some can land you in trouble if you're not careful, which is why the main traits I want you to be aware of is prejudice and discrimination.
I believe prejudice and discrimination are born of a combination of things. They often begin in the home environment and/or the area and time in which we each live. They continue to thrive through ignorance and lack of education, resulting in an unfounded fear that often deadens one's sensitivity to the human connection. As you should know, prejudice and discrimination are against the Fair Housing Act (I have much more information covering the Fair Housing Act on my website at http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com), and the reason I bring this up is because every being on earth has things they are prejudiced about or discriminate against. It may not be race, color, religion, or creed, but it could be height, weight, hair color, clothing, or a number of other things. If you're like most people, you probably aren't aware that you have prejudice in your psyche. But you do. We all do.
Of course once you have interviewed a tenant prospect, you need to meet them at the dwelling so they can view the rental and fill out the application if they are interested. Since this meeting is the first time that you will actually meet the applicant I want you to realize something of great importance which is this: sight is typically the first of the five senses used when making a prejudiced judgment.
Since you are meeting a prospect at your rental unit to see them for the first time, I want you to remember not to label or pass judgment on your tenant applicant when you first lay eyes on them. I guarantee that often what you expect to see and what you actually do see are not the same things.
Even though your prospect was polite, courteous, and passed all qualifications with flying colors on the phone doesn't mean when he or she shows up at the rental this person won't have green spiked hair or body piercings or numerous tattoos—or drive a beat up Chevy when you like BMWs. He or she might wear thick glasses or sloppy clothes, or be fighting a weight problem.
None of this matters. Keep in mind that this person initially passed your qualifications over the phone, so treat his or her as if he or she were a picture perfect, Ivy league college grad dressed for a modeling spot in GQ magazine.
Do not discriminate based on sight; discriminate based on qualifications.
If you discovered your tenant prospect was truly qualified over the phone, and when you get to the house, you don't let prejudice or discrimination cloud your judgment, you may well be on your way to finding a tenant to fit your needs.

Article Title: Why Should You Think About The Future Of The Home Business Environment?

The world is changing ever faster. Also the business world is changing. The business environment of the internet and related businesses is changing even faster. There are for sure people who still remember a world without any computer and internet. You don't even have to go back that far. The speed in which IT has become a part of our daily life is staggering.
Although most affiliate members do not give much thought to this changing business environment in which their Home Business operates, it is not so unwise to try to envision what the future will bring. There are a few reasons why this is not such a bad thing to do. First of all, thinking about and envisioning the future will give you a better understanding of your business. You might know everything there is to know about generating traffic or web design. However, this doesn't make you an expert on the bigger picture behind it all. These are basically the forces that drive your business. Don't get me wrong! I don't pretend to be an expert myself in this field. But just by thinking and envisioning what the business environment could be in the future will give you a far better insight and understanding of your Home Business and what place it takes in the whole. A deeper understanding can help you make better decisions to grow your business or with any other goals you might have for that matter of fact.
Second of all, you might want to alter your course a bit just because you think that the future will be change. You can prepare and guard yourself, as many businesses do. And mind you, not only the world leaders and top executives of large corporations think ahead. Also the smaller companies try to envision the future. Even though we cannot change the future, we can still prepare ourselves for that future and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Here is an example of how the future could be described for the Home Business. And mind you, this is my vision and a very short version of it! You have probably noticed that ever more people join the e-based Home Business. This means that the supply-demand equation will move towards the supply side. Eventually, the e-based Home Business arena will be so competitive that for many people it will not be interesting anymore. The people who have the time, dedication, know how and money to invest will survive. What can you do about it? The thing that will set you apart from your competitors is your client base and the service you provide to them. Especially in a world where customer loyalty is not that strong anymore, service to your down line and customers will prove to be important. Obviously, you can disagree with these thoughts, but as mentioned it only serves as an example.
I wish you all a clear vision ensuring that you keep on the right track.

In addition, if you are feeling hungry why not try out the Charles Halle Restaurant, which has already received amazing, reviews for the food that it serves.
2. Chinese Arts Centre – For many years there has been a large Chinese community in the city and this is one of the reasons the city chose to develop this museum. It was through this museum the city hoped to encourage and develop the talents of the vast number of oriental people who live in this part of England.
The shows that take place in the centre not only feature works by local and regional artistes but also from those further a field. In addition, you will find that the exhibitions they have on show change on a regular basis and along with more ancient Chinese works, they show large numbers of contemporary ones as well.

Article Title: What To Do When Your Car Breaks Down

Many of us have had the experience of our car breaking down when we've been on our way to work or another destination. It is a dreaded thing and is very frightening if you're in the car alone when it occurs. For those who have never had this experience, there is a good chance that it may happen and if it does, there are things that need to be kept in mind when dealing with a breakdown…particularly on the highway.
Is the car doing anything at all?
Sometimes a car can have a hiccup and simply stop running for a few minutes. Once you pull the car over to the shoulder, sit there for a couple of minutes before doing anything else. Don't panic because it may not be much of anything. Sometimes it may be a minor system issue and the car simply needs to 'reset' itself. Many of us have experienced those times in which the car died for no reason and then started right back up.
However, if you press the on button to your radio and nothing happens, chances are you have a dead car battery. Try to turn the ignition to see if the car turns over at all. If the engine cranks in addition to a clicking sound, then there are a few things that need checked in regards to the battery:
• Pop the hood
• Check the battery for corrosion at the connection points and make sure the connection is tight. If there is corrosion, clean it and tightly replace the cable connector. If the car still will not start, then the battery is dead.
If you do not have a wireless phone to call someone or call roadside assistance, try to remember if you saw any gas stations close by or any businesses. If there are no places close by for you to use a phone or find someone to jump start your car, place a white piece of paper or white cloth in your window to signify that you are in need of help. The police tend to patrol the highways quite often. If you are in a rural area, then you may need to request assistance from a resident nearby.
Sometimes a good Samaritan will offer you assistance. However, it is important to not let them in your car while you're in it and to not get into their vehicle with them. If they want to take you somewhere, tell them you'd like to stay with your car, but if they would be willing to contact roadside assistance for you, that would be great.
Other issues that can cause your car to break down are mechanical failure, which you can't do anything about, and an empty gas tank. It is surprising how many cars are sitting along the side of the road because they ran out of gas and luckily, an empty gas tank can be diagnosed via the gas gauge. It is important to keep a gas can in the trunk of the car in case you run out of gas and need to walk to a gas station. Also, if someone offers you assistance, do not get into a vehicle with them to go to the gas station. Tell them you would like to stay with your vehicle and request that they call roadside assistance for you. You do not necessarily want to give them your gas can and money for gas because you may never see the gasoline. Just keep these things in mind to diagnose small issues with your vehicle and to keep yourself safe when dealing with a car breakdown.
About The Author: Experiencing car failure can be a very scary occurrence. It's important to keep yourself and your passenger's safe in such a crisis, and to call for roadside assistance http://www.caaneo.on.ca/ to help you get the car running again.

Article Title: Should I Spend Money On Generating Traffic And Leads?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Everybody who is doing Home Business is confronted many times with the choice whether or not to spend money on buying extra traffic or leads in order to speed up or increase their sales. And even though it is not too difficult to decide when to spend money it is still not an easy decision.
First of all you need to decide what this investment will bring you in terms of sales compared to its costs. This is difficult, especially when you don¡¯t have any experience to base your assumptions on. Still, it is vital to think about this and make an estimate. The best way to tackle this is to break your assumptions down in small pieces in order to work out how many sales you are going to generate. For example, you buy 25.000 visitors to your webpage for US$ 100,-. You assume that this service will not deliver you a warm market. Therefore the chance is significant that people who will visit your page are not very interested. So assume that only 1 out of 5.000 visitors are actually interested. Assume also that 1 out of 4 who is interested will buy one product of US$ 50,-. In this case you will get 25.000 visitors divided by 5.000 are 5 people who are actually interested. Out of those 5 you will get 1,25 orders of US$ 50,- which equals US$ 62,50 of sales. As this service costs US$ 100,- you may decide not to purchase it. But even though only 1,25 sales are generated all the people who visited your webpage may bring in future sales. So you could as yourself what the chances are that some of these visitors come back in the future and buy something or that they tell somebody else about your webpage. Chances are slim, but this is just to illustrate that you need to think about several scenarios.
Secondly, you need to decide if you have the budget to spend that much money. Even if you think you can turn a profit, they are based on your assumptions. Even worse, many times we decide those purchases based on the sales pitch of the service you buy. So, when you have a certain budget, and it is very wise to have one, try to stick to it. That doesn¡¯t mean you can never change your budget. Actually, this should be done periodically. In the end, you don¡¯t want to take too much risk and not being able to pay your other bills just because your assumption were too optimistic.
Thirdly, are you willing to take the risk of investing money at all? But, any kind of business will bring some kind of risk. The question is therefore not if you need to take some risk, but is the risk bearable to you. Don¡¯t buy when it takes up to 50% of your total budget.

Article Title: Visiting Skegness, One Of Lincolnshire's Top Seaside Resorts

The seaside resort of Skegness is famous for its long sandy beaches and was the home of the first Butlins resort.
The town of Skegness is still a regular destination for holidays in England – usually either as short breaks or day trips to the seaside. It has often been called the Blackpool of the East. It faces the North Sea and the winds that often blow in from the sea gave rise to the town's slogan "Skegness is so bracing".
The main seafront has all the usual attractions of a British seaside resort. You or your children can take a donkey ride along the beach, ride one of the many fairground rides and take in a game of "crazy golf". If you have children with you, maybe you would prefer one of the more traditional seaside pastimes such as building sandcastles (don't worry if you've forgotten your bucket and spade – there are plenty of places to buy replacements). Or you could take advantage of the wind and try your hand at kite flying.
If the weather turns against you, or if you want to get out of the midday sun, then you can maybe visit the world's annual Meccano exhibition which takes place each year at the Embassy Theatre, just off the seafront.
As you would expect from a British seaside resort, Skegness has a pier. It has seen many changes in the time it has been standing and has moved with the times. You can now play a game of ten pin bowling or safely shoot at your friends at the laser quest game that is also on the pier.
Parrot fans will want to visit the National Parrot Sanctuary which has over 1200 parrots and is the only zoo dedicated to parrots in the whole of Europe.
Just a few miles away from the town is the nature reserve of Gibraltar Point. This has two large sand dunes – called the east and west dunes respectively – which are kept separate by an area of saltmarsh. The reserve starts at the southern end of Skegness and stretches around three miles down the coast. You can take in the dunes as part of a tour of the visitor's centre, including the Wild Coast Exhibition with interactive displays to keep inquisitive minds occupied. Or you may prefer to play a relaxing game of golf on the inland (west) dunes.
Because of its reputation as a popular seaside resort, Skegness has lots of places to stay. These range from the familiar chain hotels through to smaller, family run hotels and guest houses where you will be able to find out information on what to do and where to go that is normally reserved for locals.
Or if your stay is for a longer time, you may prefer to stay in one of the many local caravan parks that offer the opportunity for a self catering holiday in the area.
Shoppers in Skegness will want to head towards the Hildreds shopping centre or to Lumley Road. Between these two, you will find a wide range of shops to look around and find local bargains.

Article Title: Is Your Home Business Making Money?

There are millions of people doing their Home Business through the web. Thousands are joining us every day and the end of it is not yet in sight. With so many people entering the Home Business arena you wonder if they are all going to prosper? It is almost imaginable that everybody can make a living out of it. Sure, the web attracts more and more customers, but does this happen in the pace necessary to nourish all those Home Businesses?
This article does not give an answer to this question. Why? Because it is not known. There is no record who is running a successful Home Business and who is not. But one can imagine the fierce competition that is out there. This is however not the worst thing a Home Business owner faces. Competition is a healthy phenomenon. The real worry for the Home Business owners is that they are all part of one, or a few, of the many "mother companies", offering their products, plans, MLM schemes to the public. They all get the same advice from all those who already have success. They all change their tactics the moment some smart entrepreneur has found yet another way to increase traffic. In fact, everybody is doing the same thing even though some do more than others and some will invest more US$ to buy their way in. In the end, we all fish in the same pond and hunt for the same clients. Does it sound strange to you that many people do not succeed in making their Home Business successful?
To be fair, the author of this article is not any different from all those other Home Business owners. This article is partly written to add content to his website in order to increase traffic and hopefully sales. However, with ever more people joining the internet, all of us need to start thinking for ourselves. What a lot of people experiencing is that they start their Home Business as a total layman and need information and training to learn the ropes of the business. In other words, we are taken by the hand and we do not like to let go.
So what should we do? Still, learn everything you find important about the Home Business. But even more important, you need to start thinking for yourself. Be aware that your training is training and not the gospel you should follow indefinitely. Probably most of the successful Home Business owners are strong in creating a market. They know where to find their customers by not doing what everybody already does. And foremost, they understand their business, customers and surroundings.
I wish you all good and creative hunting!

If you are planning any kind of trip to the city of Bath, you have a number of different options for getting to the city. When it comes to Bath vacations you can either travel there yourself directly by car. Or if you would prefer and take some of the strain out of your holiday then why not go by coach or train instead.
When it comes to getting around the city itself one has the choice of getting a taxi or hopping on the local public buses. The other way and if you are feeling a little more energetic is to hire a bicycle instead. There are plenty of companies in the city that offer this facility and rental costs around £14 per day or £45 for a whole week's rental.
Along with the Roman's baths which are one of the main attractions in this city there are plenty of other things that one can do during your stay in Bath. If you want why not spend some time just wandering around the cities streets and view some of the most beautiful and graceful Georgian architecture that is to found in the UK.

For 17 days, you will find that more than 1,000 performers come to the city to provide you with different kinds of music to listen to. Along with classical music, you will find those performing jazz and other types of more modern music as well.
But if you want to just spend sometime relaxing then a visit to the Thermae Bath Spa in the city is a must. This building, which combines effortlessly the old with the new, allows you the chance to enjoy what the Roman's and Celt's enjoyed over 2,000 years ago.
You can elect to either pay for a 2-hour or 4-hour spa session during your visit and during this time, you have full access to the Minerva Bath. Also, you have access to the steam rooms and if you wish to you can use the open-air pool located on the buildings rooftop. It also offers you some spectacular of the cities skyline that you are unlikely to find anywhere else.
Also, to further enhance your enjoyment the spa also provides over 50 different treatments including ones that are actually designed to help promote relaxation and well-being. However if you do not have time to visit the spa itself take a trip round its visitor centre. This is where you will be able to learn more about just what an important role the spa has played in the history of this city. So you can see Bath vacations can be as fun filled and relaxing, as you want.
Slightly further afield is the World Heritage site of Stonehenge. You can get a sense of history when you visit this ancient stone circle and marvel at the effort that must have been put into getting all the stones across the countryside into this location.

Norwich is the county city of Norfolk, which means that there is plenty to see and do when you pay a visit to the area.
Norwich can trace its roots back to Roman times and although it is some way from the coast, it played a large role in the times of the Norman Conquest, probably due to its importance for trade even in those days. Indeed at that time it is thought to have been one of the largest cities in the country.
Times have moved on and Norwich is now more famous for its shopping than its distant invaders.
Shoppers will be delighted to visit the ancient market place which has been thriving since the time of the Normans and is now the largest open air market in England, opening six days a week.
More modern shops can be found in The Mall (which recently changed its name from Castle Mall, so you may still find references to the old name in some guide books). This was built to blend in with the historic city and much of the building is built into the side of a hill.
Its main rival is the Chapelfield mall, which has been built on the site of an old chocolate factory.
As a university town, you can expect to find a wide range of other things to do, some cultural, some less so.
Make sure you book your Norwich hotel in advance if you visit at the same time as the annual Norfolk and Norwich Festival. This arts and music festival draws crowds in from across the county and from further afield and can trace its roots back to 1772. Recently, it has featured performers such as Ray Davies (of Kinks fame) and the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing a score from a Charlie Chaplin film. There are both indoor and outdoor performances during the festival, some of which are free events.
Norwich residents fortunately have a sense of humor: the fictitious radio DJ Alan Partridge, brainchild of actor Steve Coogan, broadcasts his shows from the city. His distaste for the city is misplaced but comes across in his humor.
Sports fans will hope to take in a game by the Canaries, the nickname of Norwich City football club when they play at Carrow Road.
Unexpectedly for a mainly fenland area, there is a Norfolk Ski and Snowboarding club at nearby Trowse. So you may be able to practice your skills when you are in town.
Perhaps because of its excellent shopping, Norwich is a popular city break destination. The shopping features both the usual national chain retailers as well as many local stores where you can come across a variety of more unusual items. You can also investigate the history of the area and walk down its cobbled streets, maybe on your way to one of the several museums who make there home here.
Historical buildings include Norwich Cathedral, which can trace its roots back to the eleventh century and the castle (which is now actually a museum) which is about 100 years younger than the cathedral.

Article Title: Things To Do In Rye, East Sussex

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The historic town of Rye in East Sussex is situated close to the Romney Marshes.
One of the reasons for the popularity of the town of Rye is that there is so much history here. It has been a town since the time of the Normans and by the time of the 13th century it had become a thriving port.
Since that time, storms and "long shore drift" of the coastline have landlocked the town and it is now around 2 miles away from the coast.
Walkers often pass through Rye as part of their journey along the Saxon Shore Way, one of England's long distance footpaths. If you're following this interesting walk, you may decide to book your accommodation in Rye so that you can take in the local sights.
Another popular choice of things to do when you stay in Rye is to explore the Romney Marshes. These wetlands cover around 100 square miles and even lay claim to their own breed of sheep, who thrive in the wet conditions of the marshlands and have also been exported to Australia.
The marshes have been important over the centuries as their closeness to the European mainland means that they have often been at the front of the various invasions to England. Amongst other defenses here, King Arthur built a fortress in the village of Appledore.
More recently, the Martello Towers were built as part of England's coastal defenses in the 1800s. This was a series of small forts standing up to 40 feet high, sometimes surrounded by a moat to give more chance to keep invaders at bay. You can see some of these still standing in the area today, preserved as historic monuments.
Naturally the often bleak nature of the marshlands led to them being regularly used by smugglers from the 1600s right through to the 1800s. The sheep were an important part of the smuggling trade as their wool was smuggled across to continental Europe. They also inspired Rudyard Kipling to write his famous Smugglers Song.
If you've ever read the Doctor Syn novels, you'll recognize the landscape in the area as it was a setting for them.
Those with more energy may want to try their hand at the sport of kitesurfing, sometimes also known as kiteboarding. You can experience the thrill of being drawn along the water on a small board, similar to a surfboard, powered by a kite. Even if you don't want to participate, you may well be able to spot some kitesurfers practicing their sport in Rye Harbour or the nearby Camber Sands.
Shoppers are also catered for. There is a regular Farmers Market in the town of Rye, where you can buy fresh local farm produce and also a more varied Country Market which features locally made crafts and unusual plants as well as food.
When you visit Rye, you'll find a good range of places to stay, including a variety of small, family run bed and breakfasts and guest houses, where you are sure to receive a warm welcome.

Article Title: Great Yarmouth: What To Do On The Edge Of The Norfolk Broads

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The English seaside coastal resort of Great Yarmouth is the gateway from the Norfolk Broads to the North Sea. It has been a fishing port for hundreds of years and more recently it has come to support the many offshore oil rigs that populate the area.
One of Great Yarmouth's biggest claims to fame is its large beach and the two promenades that run alongside it.
When you visit the town, be sure to look at the Tollhouse. This is purported to be the oldest civic building in Britain and dates back to the 13th century. If you have children with you, they will almost certainly want to tour the dungeons there.
An even older building that you may want to visit is Burgh Castle Roman site. This has the remains of a third century Roman fort and overlooks the River Waveney but can only be approached on foot, so be sure to check out the accessibility details if you aren't as fit as you used to be.
Going back to the coast, the town has two piers although one of these was recently demolished in preparation for being rebuilt as an all round entertainment centre. The Britannia Pier hold the Britannia Theatre as well as a fairground.
Close by are Yarmouth's Winter Gardens. Architecture fans may well be intrigued by the mixture of glass and cast iron whilst younger members of the family will prefer the more modern facilities offered by the gardens as a leisure venue.
The local Norfold Naval Pillar is a tribute to Lord Nelson and pre-dates it's cousin (nelson's Column) in London by 24 years.
Fans of the author Charles Dickens will want to visit Great Yarmouth to see the various locations he used in "David Copperfield". Who knows, you might even decide to stay in the Royal Hotel – the very same place that Dickens stayed in whilst he was writing the novel.
The author of Black Beauty, Anna Sewell, was born in a 17th century house in nearby Church Plain and you can now visit the house for a meal at the restaurant it has become.
Horse racing fans won't be disappointed – Yarmouth has a famous flat racing track which regularly features race meets.
Unusually, Great Yarmouth has a summer season of pantomimes as well as variety shows to keep you entertained if the summer weather takes a turn for the worse.
Because the town is so close to the Norfolk Broads, there are plenty of water based activities that you can try out. From a leisurely trip in a pedal or rowing boat through to the slightly faster craft that are available for hire all over the Broads.
Shopaholics should check out the Market Gates shopping centre for a wide variety of local and national shops.
For a meal or a drink outside your hotel, there are plenty of bars and restaurants that you can investigate. Your journey for these is best started in King Street. You'll be sure to find somewhere that suits your budget and style.
