By A.L Haines Everything happens Quickly and Instantly on the Internet. In the blink of an eye your easily transported around a whole planet. It's a smorgasbord !! The web site you just visited could be in Singapore, the e-mail your reading now could have come from Alaska. The Internet is just one big Soup Bowl of Information just waiting for you to come and gobble it up. We live in a world of "Everything Quick". Quick Food, Quick Money, Quick credit, Quick Advertising, Quicker Cars and the faster we get Quicker, the better!! Not only is it possible, but it's not that complicated to achieve. Most experts agree that advertising in ezines is THE quickest way to effectively generate more traffic to your website and increase your sales. Ezine Classified Advertising is incredibly popular which means most ezines are being filled with classified ads. Some people use their lunch time to glance over their e-mails while chowing down. The average ezine reader sees hundreds of headlines and classifieds every day, taking a quick peek to if it might be worthwhile. So, How does your Classified Ad Look ?! The 3 things Every ad needs 3 basic things. A HEADLINE that stands out, Quick and easy to understand CONTENT, and an ADDRESS on how to get there. Your HEADLINE should say everything in 5-7 words or less. It should for all intensive purposes "make the sale" Some ads look fantastic using all capital letters and then switching to lowercase for the content, but on the flip side, remember it can end up looking tacky as well. Your CONTENT should always be very specific. It has to or it becomes cyber-trash very quickly. A favorite Internet saying i've heard is to " KISS IT " or, in it's original form, * Keep It Simple Stupid !! * Big words can be overwhelmingly impressive but i have found that shorter words easily read and just work better. ..... (ironic eh) Part 1 The Headline is your menu How do you make eye grabbing HEADLINE? I'll bet you didn't know it's always been right in front of you the whole time, and your going to wonder why you never thought of it. Ready??..... Your email box.. It's a treasure trove of headlines just waiting to be found. Now, i'm not saying that you steal someone else's headlines. That wouldn't be nice at all, now would it!! That doesn't mean you can't get idea's from them though. Here's a simple way to find a few "catchy headlines" (You need to do this fast OK. Really Fast!!) Every time you open your email box, Quickly scan the contents. Which one do you remember the most? It doesn't really matter which one it was, just be honest with yourself. Begin a list of catchy phrases and write it down somewhere. If you have more than one email box use it too. (Build's your list quicker) The next step is the Fun Part. Sit down and start butchering these Headlines!! Go for it!! Grab a word here, a phrase there, change a couple words around in a sentence. Replace words that would better identify your opportunity or service your promoting. Soon you will have a nice selection of Headlines you created yourself. No one has a monopoly on words, so i'm certain the Internet cops won't bother you for this apparent "theft" of words.....ya think?? Part 2 The Content is your appetizer Most classified ads usually contain around 25-50 words each. You only have so much space, and you have to say everything in a little teeny tiny spot. I can't emphazise how very important it is that the content "grabs" the readers attention. This is the meat of the ad. Create an irresistible offer. Tantalize your readers, entice them into wanting to take a bite. Make an offer that is so overwhelmingly attractive, that they would have to be insane to pass it up. Give them a tidbit by adding something free. Anything, just make it free. What's that? You say your not so good at writing classified ads like that? I'll wager a bet you are! There is a way to write great ads quickly. Yup you guessed it!! Read a few of the emails and save the ones that caught your eye. Get out the knife and cut up those ads using the same technique you used for Headlines. Once you have 6-8 contents ads written, simply get the Most Excellent Headlines YOU created and start slicing and dicing. Mix them up, change them around until your happy with them. You might end up with over 20 different ads to chose from... (bummer huh) CHOP-CHOP time again!! You don't want those 20+ ads... do you? Some of these ads aren't quite as as good as the others. That's OK, it's time to trim the fat anyway. Select the 5 choicest ads and remove the remaining ones Part 3 The Address is the dinner bell E-mail address or Website address. The person reading your classified ad has 2 options. Read the next ad or click your link. They have either eaten enough of your ad, or their ready to gobble up the main course. Your ADDRESS is a way to get more information about the opportunity you are promoting and is achieved by putting either your Web site ADDRESS to take the visitor there or an E-mail ADDRESS to contact you directly. You can spice up your address by giving your webpages catchy names, but a draw back is the length it may create. problem is, People don't like 86 character website addresses. Their either too hard to remember, or mistakes are made when entering it into their browser. You just lost a prospective sale right there. (another bummer huh) Another option is using a re-directed address. There are several companies that offer this service FREE, which allows you create nice short, easily remembered website addresses. Two places that give you 3 different addresses are rename.com and iBoost.com Thats 8 different addresses leading to the same page ***Caution; It's not wise to submit these redirect addresses to the search engines because, they don't like being tricked. Duplicate sites usually get "UN-indexed" .....rather quickly and forever too! Dinner is served! Pass the Gravy!!? You have a visitor!! Hopefully your ad was tasty enough to bring you the Gravy too!! You got them there so give them your main course. Make sure you get a counter or some kind of tracking system set up to follow your ads progress to see which ones worked the best......

By Keith Londrie With the increase in portable electronic and electric devices, the need for batteries has grown geometrically through the years, with no end in sight. Of these types of batteries, sealed lead batteries are the most common. Let'sa explore them in some detail. Sealed lead batteries were created around 1975 for the purpose of having a power source that was maintenance free while also being economical for both the manufacturer and consumer. Amongst features beyond the sealing of the lead electrolyte from spillage was the formation of special release valves to allow dangerous gas build-up to release safely. Further, these sealed lead batteries were often designed to be rechargeable (which is when most of the gasses would form in this type of battery). Two basic types of lead acid batteries were created that survived the tumults of economic and consumer demands. These were the VRLA and SLA batteries. VRLA stands for valve regulated lead acid, whereas SLA is sealed lead acid. Both types are quite synonymous overall, with little difference between them. One of the best features of these two sealed batteries, when they are rechargeable, includes an excess voltage safety mechanism which disallows the battery's explosive gas from becoming too great in quantity. This is effected by a depletion of full potential, should the battery become over-energized. The key here is not to over charge a battery. A great deal of effort has gone into this aspect of rechargeable batteries specifically. Not only do batteries become dangerous when they are overcharged, but on a more economic note, they lose their overall charge through time via the buildup of crystals or corrosion, which limit the amount of electrolyte storage ability. While this is somewhat ideal for the makers of such batteries, in that it brings in further income once the recharged battery no longer will take a charge and must be replaced, there is a continual race to make this type of lead batteries more efficient and longer-lived. As well, in a time of speed being almost synonymous with efficiency, it should be noted that sealed lead batteries do not charge so quickly. They trickle chargbe over a longer period of time. However, with lead, as opposed to lithium ion and other types of batteries, the damage and memory loss is next to nil. However, self discharge is still a fact of life, leading between 35 and 45% loss per year. So recahrgeables are not as great as first thought.

By Helen Hecker With careful planning you can market, promote, and get (free) publicity (publicity is always free) on a limited budget; you can take the cheap and easy way. Your book selling, book marketing, and book promotion planning should begin before the manuscript is completed. Whether you've just published a book or have a book that isn't selling, now is the time to get to it; start promoting and marketing today! Your book press release should not be written as you would a sales letter or flier, it should be written for the editor and tell about your book in a factual way, no opinion or glowing remarks. Press releases can generate thousands of dollars in sales when picked up by national trade or print media. Invest in press release submitting software and set aside time every week to send out a press release online to the press directories. Mail a press release to at least 1000 print and broadcast contacts just prior to publishing your title and again and again after you publish; you can never send too many. Make sure you have at least one good press release, written in AP style, which you can send out for the lifetime of your book. Don't underestimate the value of a good press release for making book sales. Make sure your press release spells out the 'who, what, where, when, and why.' Send out at least 10 press releases to the print and broadcast media in your area every month. Build a web site that provides another avenue for ordering, a virtual online press kit and link exchanges with sites that relate to your topic. Be your own publicist and send a press release along with a review copy of your book to publications in your book's genre and to book review magazines. It's important to publish a website that focuses on your title; you'll be able to refer editors and customers and all interested parties to your book information with the click of a mouse. Offer to trade writing a monthly column in a trade publication in your books' genre, in trade for display ads on the same page. I've not found that book signings sell many books for publishers and are often a waste of time; better to spend it elsewhere. Print and online publications provide longevity to your marketing campaign in terms of having something tangible for people to reference ongoing. If your book fits a specialty market, find a store that fits the genre and offer to leave books on consignment; many publishers have sold thousands of books this way. Remember to make sure your book is listed in Books-in-Print; don't assume it's already listed. Find a non-exclusive distributor with a good reputation to carry your book for the book store trade, as well as for other retailers. Arrange to speak at local, regional and national events that relate to your book topic; bring books along and have an associate sell them at the back of the room. Local radio shows and television appearances are good but are often forgotten within hours of the broadcast; make sure to make or get a copy of any television broadcast for future promotions. Contact non-bookstore booksellers and offer to leave books on consignment. Your sales letter or flier should include an eye-grabbing headline, the benefits to the buyer, the book features, book sales information and testimonials. Contact any companies, corporations or organizations that might use your book for promotions; offer significant discounts for volume orders or for thousands of copies offer a specified amount above book production costs. Get as many testimonials about your book, as possible, from experts in the field relating to your title, not customers; use on your fliers and back of books. You can giveaway your book in a raffle at a local function to promote your book and get more book recognition; look for these opportunities. The success of any book marketing effort depends on a good book and just plain hard work; its been done many times before and you can do it too. Use your book promotion and book marketing dollars wisely; go after the free and cheap resources daily. Now promote, promote, and promote your book some more!

By Kacy Carr What causes anxiety? Well if we all knew that wouldnt life be a bed of roses. Being able to nip it in the bud (excuse the pun) before it causes the damage it is capable of like interfering and preventing a person from leading a normal life There are many different theories behind the cause but because each of us differ it makes it more difficult to pin point the specific reason behind its beginning. Losing control of your thoughts and actions to an extent that no matter what you say or do is out of your jurisdiction, it is then medical help is strongly advised.
There is evidence that anxiety concerns develop from physical means like an over active thyroid gland which controls different body functions. Anxiety and drugs (types of medication) is sometimes not a match made in heaven so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any tablets/pills from over the counter that you are not familiar with. Stressful events past or present are main factors also queried behind a persons anxious moments. If depression/anxiety runs in the family then there is an increased risk or possibility that history may repeat itself.
We all have anxious moments but it is how we deal with these upsets which is the important thing. Anxiety can be brought on by the least little thing but common factors like losing a job, moving house, and parting of the ways from a partner are just a few to mention. To deal with these depressing events we have to learn to cope. By conquering the coping process you will notice your depression/anxiety symptoms easing. Relaxation classes like yoga have a great effect on patients who suffer from emotional disturbances in their mind body and soul. Anxiety does affect people in diverse ways. Many patients experience anxiety chiefly through emotional /psychological symptoms, while others suffer from physical effects. Either way both are powerful enough to destroy. Anyone at anytime can become affected by anxiety. Anxiety is diagnosed as a mental health disorder. Five per cent of the population at some stage in their lives have had an anxiety or depressive bout where it has left them feeling agitated and concerned for their health. Irregular pace of the heartbeat speeding up has given some people reason to believe that their experience of anxiety or a panic session is that of a heart attack. Reclaim your mind body and soul naturally if modern science is not your way of dealing with such health matters of which I hasten to add has proven to be very successful in the healing process for anxiety. Natural courses of herbal remedies are readily available but first and foremost consider Yoga. To relief stress that comes with everyday commitments then why not follow the millions of people who have chosen yoga to seek peace of mind. This form of exercise is a proven way in getting results. (Thus depending on the patients requirements or severity of his/her condition) Does yoga help? Yes naturally of course. Health Concerns not to be ignored.

By Lance Winslow Is religion in human civilizations caused from and innate characteristic of the species? Is there a God gene? Why do humans need religion in their lives, some folks cannot service without it. Without some sort of religion they are rendered weak, helpless and unable to cope. It seems rather incredible that a species such as the human race, which is at the top of the food chain and now basically ruling the surface of the planet can not seem to get along without fictitious fairy tales and religious literature to help them through their day. Why does this happen? Well, did you know that the great apes also practice a form of religion? It is true and great apes in the wild have been found to travel many miles across water, which they do not like to cross to go to a place where there is a waterfall. In this place the water is hotter than the area below. This causes a small fog bank and mystic looking rainbows to form. The apes go there and say in awe of nature. In fact, when they are witnessed doing this, they exhibit unnatural behavior that is seen in other places in the wild. Why? It is because the great apes are practice seen some sort of religion and it seems to be based on nature. There are religions in human species that are also based on nature. Maybe it is in human nature to practice religion and maybe in the future mankind's religions will be based more on such aspects of our natural surroundings? Perhaps humans will finally evolve out of the need for religion, now that would be an improvement indeed. Please consider all this in 2006. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.

By Bonnie Lowe I'm always preaching about proper preparation prior to interviews. If you research the position and company carefully, you can anticipate likely questions and prepare excellent answers. But something I also tell job seekers is that you can never anticipate every single question. I once had to respond to a "How would you...?" question about exhuming a dead duck. I am not making this up. The position involved community affairs work for a sewer treatment plant. How could I have anticipated such a strange question? It took me totally by surprise. But I got the job. Often with problem-solving questions, the interviewer isn't looking for a "right" or "wrong" answer. He or she is more interested in the thought processes you demonstrate to come up with your answer. The dead-duck question was based on an actual incident, and the person who asked it is the person who had to deal with it. My response showed that I would have handled the situation differently than she had, but it also showed that I knew about problem solving. I didn't panic at the unexpected question; I didn't answer before thinking about it for a few seconds; and I didn't blow it by giving a lame response like, "Gosh, that's a really tough question! I honestly don't know what I would do in that situation." Here are a few tips to help you deal with "How would you...?" problem-solving questions: 1. Ask questions to determine exactly what the interviewer is looking for. (This will also give you a bit more time to think.) 2. Explain how you would gather the information and data necessary to develop a solution to the problem. 3. Tell how youd use the information you gathered to develop and analyze alternative courses of action. 4. And finally, tell them your solution or recommendation, explaining how you feel it's the best option based on the info you were given. The "How would you...?" type of problem-solving questions are popular in interviews these days. You must not let them scare you. Don't rush your response and don't stress yourself out wondering what answer they're looking for. Remember, the answer itself isn't as important as showing your ability to think logically and demonstrate problem-solving capabilities.

By Rika Susan Chi Hair Straighteners feature high on the list of popular flat irons. Farouk Systems, the manufacturer of Chi hair straighteners, is renowned for quality hair care products. Chi Hair Straighteners start with the original Chi Ceramic Hairstyling Iron, offering a variety of possible styles. The 1" ceramic plates produce negative ions, which protects the hair cuticle, and seals in moisture. Heat damage is thus kept to an absolute minimum. This process also seals in color, helping to maintain a vibrant look for a longer period. Forming part of the Chi Hair Straighteners line, the Chi Ceramic Hairstyling Iron doesn't feature an adjustable temperature dial. However, it has been designed to maintain an even temperature throughout the period of use. Flash Heating ensures that you can use the product within 6-10 seconds of turning it on. The amount of ceramic heat applied to the hair section, can be increased by a changing your grip on the flat iron. The Chi Turbo Ceramic Hairstyling Iron is another product from the Farouk stable. These Chi Hair Straighteners are available in three sizes. The Mini Chi Turbo with .7" plates or the Regular 1" Chi Turbo will be a good choice for shorter hair. For serious hair, try the 2" Big Chi Turbo. Far Infrared technology allows for super-fast heating. Variable temperature settings ensures a greater degree of control, and the ability to be gentle with delicate hair. In contrast to older copper coils, the heat produced by the ceramic plates and coils of Chi hair straighteners, is moist. As with any thermal heating product, usage is safer and performance more effective if your hair is in excellent condition before attempting your new look. Ask your hairstylist to recommend a heat protector for use before styling. Heat is only distributed to the ceramic plates of the Chi, and the Chi Turbo comes with felt at the tip for extra protection. Nevertheless, it is sensible to be careful when using Chi Hair Straighteners or any of the other flat irons. Small details haven't been overlooked in these Chi Hair Straighteners. The length of the cord is very generous, and because of the 360 degree swivel connection, tangling doesn't occur easily. The Chi Turbo, as well as the original Chi, fits in a standard curling iron station. Ceramic flat irons can be utilized to create any of the celebrity hair styles that are so in demand. Make the most of any of the Chi hair straighteners. Ask your hairstylist to demonstrate how you can shape your hair into a fashionable, sleek, straight look, or fabulous flips and curls, or a charming crimped style. Farouk Systems is a company of hair artists. Through Chi Hair Straighteners, they strive to transfer their magic to the hands and hair of every woman using their products.

By Rachel Oliver It is not uncommon to see the terms legal plans and pre-paid legal services used interchangeably. While they share a lot of characteristics in common, there are a number of differences you should be aware of. Both of these terms refer to an arrangement whereby you pay a fixed monthly or yearly fee in exchange for legal services. The idea behind them is to save consumers on high legal fees whilst offering a valuable service. Thats where the differences lie: what kind of service is offered and what is covered. What are you entitled to in both schemes? Pre-paid services cover for specific legal services: free phone
consultation and advice, drafting of simple wills and trusts, review of sample contracts and writing of letters on your behalf. Legal services not provided will get charged at regular attorney fees, but you may be eligible for discounts. Legal insurance, by contrast, works much like other insurance plans, like health or car insurance. Although specific legal services are offered at times, your insurance provider will typically offer a policy that covers for all legal services. The policy will pay on behalf of you, the policy holder, or reimburse all expenses, costs or fees that you pay for legal services up to the policy limit. For instance, your policy might reimburse
any fees incurred in your court judgments or pay your bail money a service not provided by most pre-paid legal plans. Your legal insurance is also pegged to other insurance policies you may already have. If you run into legal problems involving your other insurance, then your legal insurance policy will protect you against loss or liability. For instance, if you are involved in a car accident when your auto-insurance has already run out and you are subsequently sued for recovery of damages, you will be protected by a legal plan insurance. The other difference between the two schemes is related to your choice of attorney. In a pre-paid legal service, you get to choose from a restricted number of the attorneys in the network. By contrast, a legal insurance plan provides legal coverage regardless of attorney. You are free to set up interviews with any number of attorneys and choose the ones you think will
provide the best service for your personal legal needs. Finally, pre-paid legal plans are much more accessible to the general public. Legal plans are harder to come by as only a limited number of insurance companies offer such arrangements.

By Anne Clarke If you have a garage, you need to be organized, tools and all. A pool of course, requires a lot of chemical items, as well as the common recreational accessories such as rafts, noodles and lounge chairs to be neatly tucked away. Or, if you have too many tools for your yard or garden and too few places to store them in the garage, you will need outdoor home storage solutions like these: Garage Organizing a garage is simple. You will need more than just a tool bench, but there is usually plenty of space in a normal-sized garage for storage of hand tools, power tools and more if you use some of the suggestions below. There is usually plenty of space on the walls of your garage from which you can hang certain hand tools etc. So tap a nail in, or install some strong pegs and or hooks, and hang small tools, garden gloves, and even items like shovels, brooms and saws. Consider as well items such as extra shelving for your tools etc. There is a lot of space on the walls around your garage, and installing shelves is a great way to organize without taking up too much of your car space. You can also use storage bins to store things in your garage. Bins are a great way to have quick access to items you need and organize them in such a way that they will be simple to find. Poolside The following poolside home storage solutions listed below are practical and very effective. Often people will store rafts, water wings and other floating water toys in a nice shed along with lounge chairs, skimmers and removable pool-covers. A storage bin that locks is a good idea, so that small children will not get into dangerous chemicals like chlorine. Another idea for storing chemicals for checking chlorine levels etc is perhaps to keep these items on a high shelf in the shed or garage. Most importantly when you decide where to store your pool chemicals you want to be absolutely certain that they remain out of the reach of children. Garden The most beautiful kind of storage merchandise for your gardening materials is the garden bench. A garden bench is often pleasing to the eye, and serves a dual function as a lovely, relaxing place to sit as well as a place to store various gardening items. To repeat myself, the storage bin is always a good idea, with compartments for gardening gloves, shears, and other small gardening itemsbins work nicely. However, there are many tools for gardening that cannot be placed in tiny compartments such as storage bins ad will require more space. If you cannot fit these into your garage or anywhere else, a tool shed is one idea for storing many gardening items. Many of these items for your garage, pool, or garden can be found at great prices, and when necessary, are quite easy to assemble. Good luck finding the home storage supplies you need to keep your home looking tidy and well kept. Anne Clarke writes numerous articles for websites on gardening, parenting, fashion, and home decor.

By Rosemary Horner Slander Remember the western series GUNSMOKE? Well, there was an episode where a former saloon girl was about to marry a hard working farmer. Before the wedding she saw an old customer who came out of no where to a remote outdoor festival with her future brother in-laws and friends.
This evil man, who boasted to his friends that she was crazy about him then and now, decided to slander her reputation to her future husband. After the fight between her fianc and the evil man, (Her future husband could not allow his own reputation to suffer from this insult.) the poor woman was preparing to go away assuming her fianc would never marry her. She was hurt and ashamed. Have you ever been the victim of slander? Do you know anyone else who has suffered from this terrible form of verbal abuse? The problem with slander is that by the time the real truth comes out the damage has already been done. The victim may lose friends, family and faith in the fact that the truth can emerge. WHAT EVERY VICTIM OF SLANDER MUST DO The woman in the GUNSMOKE episode would have gotten on a horse and rode away if she was not stopped by a friend. She then began to pour out the entire story. She told about how the evil man had forced his attentions on her when he arrived that day. She also explained the real facts about the relationship when she worked in the saloon. This friend encouraged her to communicate the truth she shared with her- to her fianc. So, she found her fianc, who was still confused and angry. She shared her past and present. She said, I wanted you to know the truth. He responded by saying, I just want you to talk to me. You must always remember to talk to me Although they did not get married that day.( It was not because of the situation but because the preacher was hurt during the fight.) They rode away with the entire family happy and secure. But the moral of this story example is that COMMUNICATION is the first line of defense when slander has taken place. Friends and family should know the truths that have been twisted. Those that are true friends and loved ones will stand by you through the storm. What about Defamation? If a person or the news media says or writes something about you that harms your reputation, or that keeps people from associating with you, defamation has occurred. Slander is oral defamation, and libel is written defamation. If you have been harmed by the defamatory remarks or statements of another, you can also seek the advice of a libel and slander attorney in your area. Lets all work hard to fight the terrible effects of slander and defamation. Stand and support those who are hurting. Seek out the truth!
