Do You Really Need a Brochure?

By Stuart Ayling The phone rings. Good news... it's a potential client. You say, "Thanks for calling, I'll send you our brochure."
But what should you really be sending them?
I'm often asked to review brochures or asked about brochure design. But before I make any comments I always ask one question-
"Why do you think you need a brochure?"
Often there's an awkward silence before the answer comes. "Because we need one to send to customers."
Do you really need a brochure? The desire to have a brochure is often automatic. But if you run a service business I suggest you consider all your options. The usual type of brochure that most businesses use may not be your best solution. Read on, and get a few ideas on why you might want to save your marketing money for something that really helps you.
When a potential customer contacts you it is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of your field. You can help your customer make a more informed decision about using your type of services. Remember, one of the critical factors in marketing your service business is to instil trust in you. Customers must first come to trust you and understand how you can help them before they will use you. Education is often the key.
The problem with most brochures is they are focused on 'what' the business does, or 'who' the people are, or 'where' the business is located. This is all good information but it won't help your customer to trust you. There's little educational value.
Keep in mind that your potential customer probably has other brochures from other firms that also talk about their "latest equipment", "highly trained staff", "years of experience" and "friendly customer service".
How do you send out the brochure? Another factor to consider when deciding on whether you need a brochure is how you will send it out. Many firms send a covering letter with the brochure. In this letter they often say the same things as in the brochure, listing the services provided, pricing and contact details. So why do you need the brochure?
In many cases a personalised letter from the business owner will have more impact than a simple brochure. Plus, in the letter you can focus on the main issue for that particular customer, making an even stronger impression. Of course you can save time by using a template, so you don't need to completely re-write the letter each time. And as you would expect, a letter is much less expensive to produce than a brochure.
Be honest... how often do you sit down and fully read a brochure. You're not alone. Usually it's a quick scan, a brief look at any pictures, and drop in the bin (or the "to do later" pile).
Even large firms have trouble using brochures. One client of mine, a state office of a large engineering firm, doesn't like using its corporate brochure because it has too much of an international focus. They find the brochure doesn't address the needs of their clients.
What else can you do? Marketing a service business requires a bit more thought than just placing pictures of your equipment, staff or premises in a brochure. Give potential customers a reason to trust you. Minimise their risk by giving them helpful information. Be different - most businesses don't do it!
If we think about building trust, there's a few ways we can go about it. Instead of the usual brochure, why not try one of the following: -A checklist to help customers decide what they really need to do. -Tips on how to minimise their need for your type of services. -An impartial fact sheet on why the problem occurs, giving the customer some background on the issue. -An information sheet on your business including client testimonials, success stories, case studies, and some history of the business. Remember to make it about customer benefits, not just about you. -A reference list of associated information sources, so the customer can see how much there is to know about your field. -If you offer a range of services, develop a series of information cards so you can send only the ones each customer wants. They'll look great with your cover letter! -Some services (accountants come to mind) have lots of helpful data (such as tax and depreciation rates) that can be shown on a small pocket card or folder.
(Remember, all these items can be produced cost effectively on your letterhead, special paper or printed on coloured card. Even large firms can use the same concepts.)
At this point you might be thinking, "Great, I could put some helpful tips in my brochure." That's a good start. Please note, I'm not against using brochures. (After all, the definition of a brochure varies widely.) I'm just suggesting there is often a smarter way to use your communication opportunity.
And if you're worried that by giving your potential customers information, they won't want to use your services, then maybe you should think again. After all, as a customer, none of us want to pay for a service we don't really need.
Have courage. Have the courage to tell your customers what they need to know. Give them a reason to trust your expertise. Reassure them that you have their best interests at heart.
And there are some great benefits from educating your customers. You'll find you face fewer customer complaints, and attract a better standard of client. Because you have shown integrity and given the customer information, they will trust you more and be less inclined to complain about trivial matters. Give it a go.
What's that I hear - you want me to send you some information. Sure. I'll send you a broch... oops... I mean one of our fact sheets.

When Gaining Love Means Gaining Weight!

By Joanne Robinson Do you tend to find your weight increases when you enter into a
relationship? During weight management coaching, I use a tool called
the lifeline to help my client and I understand what life events occurred
around the time of gaining and losing weight. As my own experiences
testify, I have found that many of us tend to put on weight when we enter
into a relationship. Though each persons issues are unique here are a
few examples of where those extra pounds might be coming from: Conflict: There is nothing like relationships to fuel the fires of
our emotions! If we find it difficult to assert our feelings, avoid or
withdraw, eating can become a way to cope with our feelings. Self-esteem: Sometimes we feel unconfident about our position
in the relationship, or have self-hating thoughts and turn to food to cope. Lifestyle: Choosing to spend more time snuggled up in front of
the television with our loved one can often take the place of activities we
were once involved in! Dietary Habits: So our partner likes fried food better than our
grilled options? A change in eating habits to accommodate our loved
one can pile on the pounds too! Alcohol: Eating out or staying in with those extra bottles of
wines add on the calories too! Socializing: Hes taking you out but those extra creamy sauces,
salty fries, and fried fish all add to the energy input! Contentment: You found your match and you are just happy be
out of the dating game, its time to swap the high heels for comfy slippers,
but out comes the box of chocolates to add to the happiness watching
your favorite movie together! So, if gaining love has meant gaining weight, what can we do to
make the changes we want? Managing relationships is an important
part of managing weight so learning new life skills is vital. You can
begin making changes by: Enlisting Support: Ask you partner to support you, tell him about
your struggles and what are the best ways he can help. Maybe, flowers
instead of chocolates, bike riding instead of the restaurant. You
decide! Managing Emotions: If you reach for the cookie jar before or
after conflict, learning assertiveness, expressing emotions and conflict
resolution skills will give you the tools to manage conflict, speak about
what is bothering you and avoid a trip to the fridge! Increasing activity Getting active is about learning new habits.
Rather than setting a goal on your first week to attend the gym 5 days
per week, set smaller achievable goals such as parking the car a couple
of blocks from work, using the stairs instead of the elevator, using your
lunch break for a brisk 10 minute walk etc. Small food changes: Think in terms of healthier choices rather
than eating very little to lose weight. For example, grilling instead of
frying, fruit, nuts and dried fruit, instead of chips/crisps and chocolate etc. Increase self-esteem: Find your worth outside of a relationship
and develop your confidence in your abilities and talents will also help
you manage your food intake. Do you know it's time for change? Have you seen that you keep
repeating the same mistakes and don't know what to do about it? Would
you like to see changes in your spiritual walk, dating life, relationships,
eating habits or career? If so, then you can begin to break the damaging
patterns in your life by tapping into the resources that are on offer to you

How To Remove Cellulite Naturally

By Mark Dailey Cellulite is a problem that can affect people of any body type. Cellulite largely shows up from the way our bodies naturally store fat. Women tend to experience cellulite more often than men and the only way most women know of to treat cellulite is to hide it under clothing. Thank fully, there are natural ways to reduce cellulite and eliminate it completely. What is Cellulite? Cellulite is a mysterious change in the structure and enlargement of fat cells that lie deep under the skin. Perhaps due to an underactive thyroid or low level of exercise, fat cells generally located in the legs or butt can become larger than normal and bulge up into the skin above. This is what gives cellulite its appearance. Its cause is not fully understood but the effects of cellulite, while not life threatening, often are a major concern for the people who have it. Who is Prone to Cellulite? While menopausal women are more prone to cellulite, the problem can appear at any time due to its nature of development and the factors that tend to influence it such as weight gain, high-fat diet, a low level of exercise, and other factors. How to Get Rid of Cellulite Naturally First of all, losing weight can drastically reduce cellulite. The cellulite fat cells will still be larger than normal but will be less noticeable from the decrease in fat they can absorb (from the healthier diet and fat burned through increased exercise). The real problem of cellulite comes from how to treat it, when its cause is not completely known. However, some safe effective herbal extracts have been seen to drastically reduce cellulite but one must be careful to understand how they work. As for supplements and creams, anti cellulite pills do not work to reduce cellulite because the areas where cellulite develops are difficult to reach by normal blood circulation. That being the case, supplements taken orally will not reach the affected areas if blood cannot take them there. The only non surgical method of cellulite reduction is probably a highly concentrated cellulite removal cream which includes several cellulite reducing ingredients such as Retinol A, green tea extracts, and algae extracts. The Japanese rarely experience cellulite due to the large amount of algea and green teas they consume in their diet. If you do not like taking pills, try to eat more low fat foods, drink water all throughout the day, and try to rub in some aloe vera cream or one of the more complete topical cellulite creams on the market. Try to attack the cellulite from every angle you can and you should be able to dramatically reduce cellulite for good.

Meeting Women Online - The Keys To Success

By Jason Ess Meeting women online is a very effective way to meet far more girls than you would usually be able to in the offline world. If you put in the time to your online dating experience you definitely will get dates, there is no doubt about that. In fact, over 25 million people visit dating sites each and every month in the U.S alone and the number of paying customers is increasing. People now seem to be more open to internet dating than ever before - a study showed that 68% of people surveyed said that they would be open to meeting someone from the internet. What most women say is that when they receive an email from an interested man, the first thing they do is go to take a look at their picture. A few clear pictures will triple your responses. And the best thing is that it hardly matters what you look like, females are not as visually orientated as men and the pictures serve more of a social value rather than an opportunity for her to judge you on your looks. Make sure that the pictures are recent, I'm sure that you wouldn't like to turn up for a date and realise that the 25 year old blonde in the pic is now a rather unappealing fifty year old with facial her. In your written profile make sure that you are not too brief, and that you communicate that you have value and standards. Never sell yourself short, but as importantly don't be tempted to tell any white lies (or worse). Obviously, concentrate on the positive elements of your character though you should insert one flaw - this make you seem more real. Unfortunately when meeting women online they are often the type of female who likes the usual dating nonsense of you showering her with gifts, compliments and demonstrations that she's the prize to be won. My advice is not to fall into the trap of behaving in this way, there are other far more powerful methods of seduction that can be applied to meeting women online.

Enriching Your Life By Creating Rituals and Celebrations

By Dr. Jackie Black Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. Margaret Young We live in a contemporary society that values high-tech, the faster the better, and product stream; how fast can I make my widget? How many can I sell? How much can I sell them for? It's time to stop, look and listen: Stop doing and start being, Look inside instead of outside of ourselves, and Listen to our inner voices in addition to our heads. Common Rituals and Celebrations Rituals and celebrations are one way to intentionally create meaningful connections with special and important events and people. Many of us already celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and various holidays including rituals we may not even recognize as such. Common celebrations and rituals are: Graduations Bachelor / Bachelorette parties Bon Voyage parties Promotion / Retirement Bridal and Baby Showers Wrap parties in the Entertainment Industry Funerals, Memorials, Celebrations of Life Throwing coins in a fountain Placing an extra candle on a birthday cake Bride and Groom feeding each other cake Sending cards to remember special occasions Hanging up bird feeders during winter You Can Create Easy Rituals and Celebrations I invite you to decide today, right now, to create a ritual and celebrate one event or experience every week for the next 4 weeks. What you choose to celebrate is less important than the act of celebrating! When you get in the habit of experiencing the richness in your life and creating celebrations and rituals to mark those events, your life will be transformed forever! Celebrations and rituals do not have to be involved, complicated or expensive. It is the simple act of marking out the event and honoring it with your attention. A celebration or ritual can be as simple as lighting a candle and making a wish, saying an affirmation or bringing your attention to something (or someone) for which you are grateful; making a cup of tea and listening to the trickling water of a fountain; playing a certain musical piece and enjoying it in the same comfy chair. Try it. Its worth it. Remember, only YOU can make it happen! Copyright Dr. Jackie Black 1999-2006 If you like this article, please read more about

The Cheapest Cell Phone Plans

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Daymon_Hoag]Daymon Hoag So you're in the market for a new cell phone plan. You start your cell phone search online to give you an idea on wireless phone service prices. Free cell phones, get a free cell phone, the lowest cell phone rates, compare cell phone rates. Starting to look familiar? Free cell phone offers and low cellular rate plans are indeed enticing, but are they really the cheapest cell phone plans? To say they have the cheapest cell phone service is also to say they know your calling habits. There is more to cell phone rates than cents per minute. Isn't the cheapest cell phone plan the one with the smallest bill at the end of each month? It makes sense to me. So how do you find the best cell phone plan with the lowest cellular rates that will leave you with the cheapest cell phone bill at the end of each month? Cell phone plans come in two forms. Prepaid cell phones, otherwise known as pay as you go cell phone service, and regular monthly cell phone plans. When deciding which is best for you, think about how much you'll use the cellular service each month. Prepaid cell phone plans are great if you will not be using the cell phone very often. If you use a cell phone for emergencies only, you'll benefit from pay as you go since it doesn't cost much to add minutes to your prepaid cell phone and you won't need to top up again for awhile. Monthly cell phone plans are best if you are going to use your cellular service often, since many cell phone services offer unlimited nights and weekends, free mobile to mobile, and a healthy amount of anytime minutes. You can even get a free cell phone with a service agreement. The secret formula to getting the cheapest cell phone plan for you is, usage, plus rates, plus incentives. Incentives being the freebies like free cell phones or free minutes. Find a healthy balance of all three factors, and you'll have your cheapest cell phone plan.

The "Can" Motor: The Hobbyists Best Friend

By Michael W.P. Ball When the can motor came on the seen it changed everything for the hobbyist. This was especially true for the Brass Steam Locomotive enthusiasts. He or She now had a real work horse of a motor that could drive a locomotive with ease. There are other aspects of the drive mechanism aboard the Brass Steam Locomotive that cause the user difficulty. However, in this case we are going to concentrate on the can motor and what it can do for you. Can motors come in a variety of sizes and rpm (Revolutions Per Minute) ratings. Also, torque values plays an important part in the choosing of a can motor. Generally can motors range from about 5k Rpms to as high as 17k rpms. For example a very small motor that would fit in a HO 0-6-0 switch engine with a rating of 16k rpms would not have a very good torque value. An example is a coil wound motor becomes very powerful as you increase the coil wrap on the motor. Inversely, by removing coils from a motor will make the motor very fast but not ideal for pulling anything. Thus the very small can motor does not have the power of the larger can motors. This can be compensated for because most can motors will fit in just about any HO steam engine. If the engine is small like a 0-6-0 switch engine you can find a motor that fits nicely in the range of 5k rpms to 12.5k rpms and use a high speed gear box at either 27:1 or 28:1 gear ratio. My wife and I usually stay away from the low geared gearboxes because they run way to slow for our liking. However, you may like that type of operation and would prefer the 36:1 to 37:1 gear ratio. You are not looking for high speed with a locomotive but for speed and especially power to pull a large freight train or passenger train. This is also essential with the small switch engines ability to work a yard shuffling freight cars around. When I had slot cars I would unwind the coils on the motor. This made the slot car very fast. This is not what we are trying to do with a steam locomotive. Depending on the size and type of steam locomotive will determine in most cases the size of can motor you are looking for. The beauty of a can motor is it will run at extremely low speeds yet will give you the power and speed to replicate a real steam locomotive based on scale. If I were rebuilding a 4-8-4 Northern I would be looking for speed. They were high steppers and would cruse at over 100 mph. The ideal motor would be a 16k rmp motor with a 27:1 or 28:1 gearbox. This would be true for many engines including the large articulated locomotives. However, a Union Pacific Bull Moose 2-8-8-0 was a very slow and deliberate locomotive and had great pulling power at low speeds. This is known as tracktive effort. This locomotive would be best suited with a 12.5k rpm can motor and a 28:1 gearbox or 36:1 gearbox depending upon the likes of the hobbyist as far as speed is concerned. The key to all of this is there are different can motors that will meet your needs and definitely improve your steam engines performance and please you as a hobbyist.

A Little Help Finding Love

By M Jackson A little help finding love online. Visit the dating sites. If finding love online is what you're after then the most important thing you can do is to get out there and network with fellow singles. Visit dating sites and picture personals sites otherwise finding love online simply isn't going to happen for you. A quick search on the Internet will find you plenty of sites like this, in fact if you wait around long enough without a pop up blocker on and you won't even need to search. Finding love online couldn't be easier, there are so many sites that are literally jam packed full of hopeful singles that it may be easier not finding love online. You can never have enough friends. In your quest of finding love online it is very important not to concentrate on the fact that your are trying to find love but concentrate on making friends and if you do find your soul mate then that's fantastic but not guaranteed. As in real life if you go out looking for love then there's an imminent danger of looking desperate and having very little success. Finding love online involves taking your time getting to know people, chatting online, sending emails and finding out as much as you can about the other person. Don't just jump into the first cyber relationship that comes your way. You could be sat on the other side of the world to the person you are chatting to or they could be from next door but one, but finding love online will only come easily if you relax and have fun. That's what it's all supposed to be about after all. Don't lie to look good. I know there is a strong temptation to embellish the truth but if you're serious about finding love online then don't do it. Your little lies will catch up with in the end and they normally have a really nasty way of doing so. If you have to lie to attract someone then perhaps you should be looking for a different someone to chat to. Finding love online is about being honest and being yourself. If you want to one day meet your online partner and maybe take the relationship to the next level there is no way carrying on the lie about being six foot four and captain of your former school football team. Conversely, if you think someone you are talking to is lying to you perhaps you're best out of there at the start but don't believe that just because they're on the Internet means they've got no life away from the computer screen. It's quite possible that you could be talking to the American rock climbing champion or the lead singer from a good but relatively unknown rock band. You just never know and although there are undoubtedly people on these sites, if you're serious about finding love online, you're going to have to trust someone at some time.

Born Again and Heaven and Hell

By David Ben-Ariel If you're not born again before you die, you'll spend eternity in hell. Who hasn't heard that "sermon" or something like it before? That one statement contains four religious lies and proves such a preacher apparently doesn't know God, Jesus Christ or the Bible well enough to know differently! Nothing wrong with that, of and by itself, except an error becomes a lie when folks persist in it after it's been exposed (John 3:19-21). First, Yeshua said that which is born of the flesh is flesh (like we are now in this life), but that which is born of the Spirit IS SPIRIT. He also said you can't even see or enter into that Kingdom of God unless you're born again, which nobody has been but Yeshua by a resurrection from the dead and transformation from human to divine, from flesh and blood to SPIRIT. Those who are born again have SPIRIT BODIES. Paul confirms and clarifies this awesome truth: 1 Corinthians 15:45-57 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being" [flesh]; the last Adam, a life-giving SPIRIT... 47The first man was of the dust of the earth [flesh], the second man from Heaven [SPIRIT]. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth [that which is born of flesh is flesh]; and as is the man from heaven[Spirit], so also are those who are of [not in] heaven [that which is born of SPIRIT IS SPIRIT]. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man [flesh], so SHALL we bear the likeness of the man from heaven [SPIRIT]. 50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God [just like Yeshua clearly stated that unless you're born again, a SPIRIT BEING, you can see or enter the Kingdom-Family of God], nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable [yet those who bleat they're already born again say they can - let God be true and every man a liar]. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery [remains a mystery to most]: We will not all sleep [not go to "Heaven or Hell" at death], but we will all be changed-- 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP. (not in this life or at death) For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed [born again]. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality [YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN]. 54When the perishable has been clothed [with our heavenly bodies - not bodies in heaven] with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." 55"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. This clearly shows Adam was flesh and blood, mortal, corruptible and we're just like him - but the good news is we can become exactly like the Second Adam and be transformed - BORN AGAIN - at the resurrection into brilliant God-beings, composed of divine nature and holy composition: BORN AGAIN SPIRIT BEINGS! Further proof nobody is born again is Yeshua is yet to return and establish the Kingdom of God on Earth, and the glorified saints are yet to rule with but under Him as divine Priest-Kings, SPIRIT-BEINGS (having truly been born again). Those who understood what it means to be born again, and just what the Kingdom of God really constitutes, agree with these very clear Scriptures: Daniel 2:44 44 And in the days of these [10 kings/EU nations] kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Daniel 7:27 27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms UNDER the whole heaven [not in Heaven], Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High [then born again]. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.' Revelation 20:6 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. The King of the Jews, the King of Israel, is yet to return and establish the Kingdom of God on Earth, smashing all opposition. The faithful still pray, "Thy Kingdom Come" and it certainly will in God's good time! This is the Kingdom-Family of God that will administer the one world government of God that you can't even enter UNTIL you've become born again as a divine SPIRIT-BEING, just like Yeshua said and Paul taught: two witnesses to this truth. This is the Kingdom of God (not some pretty platitude, sanctimonious feeling or spiritualized stupor or experience), the GOOD NEWS Yeshua preached and the true Church of God announces is coming soon! May all REPENT and believe the gospel, so help us God. The Church of God is the Kingdom of God in embryo, as Herbert W. Armstrong taught. We're begotten now, are converted and being converted, but we'll be born again at the return of Christ and first resurrection. We can celebrate that the Kingdom of God is coming soon in power and great glory: the Lord Yeshua with all the glorified, transformed saints then divine SPIRIT-BEINGS. The righteous are not in Heaven and sinners are not in "Hell." Scriptures clearly reveal all the saints are dead and buried, asleep, awaiting their resurrection at the return and reign of Yeshua. The dead in Christ (they're dead - not alive in Heaven) haven't received their inheritance YET and won't until we all do so together: Hebrews 11:39-40 39These [all those listed in the chapter of Faith] were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised [which was never Heaven anyway]. 40God had planned something better for us so that only TOGETHER WITH US would they be made perfect [at the seventh trumpet, at the return of Christ, at our resurrection and transformation]. The Scriptures cannot be broken and are consistent - something idolatrous traditions clearly aren't.
Remember, immortality, eternal life is a GIFT from God, but the wages of sin is death. Eternal life or eternal death, plain and simple, thus said the Lord (yet some insist on twisting parables out of context, rejecting the clear black and white Scriptures). God is not the sadist that traditional Christianity misrepresents Him to be. Those who submit to the Word of God rather than fall for Roman wolves in sheep's clothing (with their Babylonish beliefs and pagan myths), know the unrepentant will be put out of their misery, destroyed in the Lake of Fire, having suffered the second death. The meek shall inherit the Earth and the wicked will be history! So says YOUR Bible. Why not believe it over idolatrous traditions of men? "For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. But the wicked shall perish [John 3:16], and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off! The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever" (Ps. 37:9-12,20,22,29). And notice Psalm 104:35: "Let the sinners he consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Notice the great contrast: eternal life or eternal death; inherit the Earth or be destroyed from off the face of the Earth. Isaiah 66:22-24 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. [But the wicked will be history, although during the Millennium...]
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath [the Sabbath wasn't done away with!] to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Do you believe in immortal worms? Realize this speaks of the far future - the new heavens and the new earth, and then goes back to the initial thousand year reign of Yeshua when just outside of Jerusalem the Valley of Hinnom will be kept burning as a warning to all of what happens to the wicked - they're burnt up, but their maggots turn into flies and continue to live. Time setting is everything as well as rightly dividing the Scriptures - not falling into the traditional ditch of darkness. Revelation 22:12-15 12 "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me [it was reserved in Heaven, but it's not Heaven!], to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city [New Jerusalem, a building/city eternal]. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. ASHES OUTSIDE THE GATES OF JERUSALEM. Eternal life vs. eternal death. Revelation 21:8 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second DEATH." Malachi 4:1-3 1 "For behold, the day is coming [yet future], Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up," Says the LORD of hosts, " That will leave them neither root nor branch [eternal DEATH]. 2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings [eternal LIFE]; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves. 3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ASHES under the soles of your feet [outside Jerusalem] On the day that I do this," Says the LORD of hosts. That's what happens to something that gets burnt up: nothing is left but ashes. How plain. How logical. How merciful! Jude 1:5 5Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. [God didn't torture them]. Why do folks refuse to believe God for vain traditions? The wicked will be completely destroyed, nothing left of them, ashes, but the meek shall inherit the Earth, even as the wicked are cut off forever. Eternal life or eternal death. The real Hell fire doesn't even exist yet! Traditional Christianity doesn't believe Yeshua when He said God is able to destroy both body and soul in Gehenna fire; that God so loved the world that whosoever believes in Him should not PERISH but have everlasting LIFE; that immortality alone belongs to God and those whom He offers it as a GIFT; that the wicked will be utterly destroyed and become ashes under the soles of the feet of those who inherit the Earth; that we know no murderer has eternal life in him. Regardless of traditional disbelief or religious rebellion, the Bible clearly teaches that after God has purified this Earth by fire, making it new, renewing the surface of the Earth as He once did with water, the wicked will be history and ashes under the soles of the feet of those given the gift of immortality - you're not an immortal soul - and all suffering will be a thing of the past. The new heavens and Earth will be filled with righteousness - there won't be any room for evil, no polluted part, no forbidden zone or mythological "hell" to taint the new heavens and the new Earth - if you believe the Bible over idolatrous traditions (Rev. 20:14). The real Hell fire doesn't even exist yet! So how can anybody be in it? The Lake of Fire that will engulf the entire surface of the Earth is future. Read it for yourself and believe it over misguided men: 2 Peter 3:5-7, 10-12 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water [Earth was purified by water]. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men [even as water once purified the Earth of wicked men, soon fire will do the same - in the future!]... 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up [this is the real "hell" fire the Bible teaches - much hotter than the pagan myths teach - and it's yet future, not "down there" or any other place in men's twisted imaginations, but the whole surface of the Earth will be consumed and purified by fire]. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Revelation 21:1-4 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea [the fire that purified the earth evaporated it]. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, COMING DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." [This alone proves the Bible teaches eternal punishment - not eternal punishing]. I encourage all to read the rest of the chapter without traditional blinders and be amazed to discover that the pearly gates and streets of gold are going to be right here ON EARTH! Heaven isn't the Reward of the Saved! 2 Corinthians 5:1 1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Yeshua clearly said: "THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH". The Scripture above nowhere says we're to "go to Heaven" - in fact, it speaks of the heavenS, the universe (which ultimately we'll inherit but remain based on Earth with the New Jerusalem that will come down from Heaven to be established on Earth: "Heaven on Earth"). When properly understood, we know that our heavenly bodies, our new spirit-composed bodies that we'll receive (when we're born again) occurs at the return of Yeshua and our resurrection. Yeshua promises to bring our reward with Him from Heaven - He doesn't take us to receive it in Heaven! There's a big difference. Verse 3 that clearly proves we'll be clothed with our new "house" FROM Heaven. Those born again will have SPIRIT BODIES. 2 Corinthians 5:2 2 For in this we groan [why groan if we're already born again? - if we're already delivered?], earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is FROM heaven [not in it!] Revelation 22:12 12 "And behold, I am coming quickly [the Second Coming of Christ TO EARTH], and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. Remember Yeshua said in His Father's House [Temple] are many mansions/rooms/offices/positions? Those positions will be filled in His Kingdom-Family that is established when He returns! We're to help administer the government of God. What about 2 Corinthians 5:8? 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Nowhere does that Scripture mention Heaven. However, when Yeshua returns, bringing our reward with Him from Heaven - having been reserved in Heaven - (and later the New Jerusalem itself comes down from Heaven with the Father), we will be absent from these bodies of flesh when we're transformed, when we receive our heavenly bodies, our SPIRIT BODIES as those who are truly born again, but it all takes place right here on God's good Earth.

How to End the Food Cravings with EFT

By Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP Breaking Down Cravings One at a Time I know you've heard of one-day at a time, but one-minute at a time? Come on, who needs that? Hum, maybe you. If you've struggled repeatedly, yet continue to fail in your weight loss efforts, what's going wrong? Was the way you tried to stop eating a specific food too restrictive? Did you say, "I'll never eat ice cream again," or "I can't eat cookies again." If you set such absolute restrictions when the cravings for the forbidden food hit you like waves rushing ashore, you'll likely give in. It's too much work to try and avoid those waves. They keep hitting you and knocking you down until you're wailing, "I can't do it. I don't have the will power. I'll never lose this weight." Trying to avoid the waves of cravings by sheer will or force doesn't work. If you just stand there, they'll crash into you and knock you right over, but you can learn to surf the waves. Once you learn to ride them, instead of standing and getting hit, then you'll be able to see what life is like on the other side. The side that doesn't have a weight problem. Learn to Ride the Waves of Hunger Get out your boogie board, and you'll be glad for those waves. Think differently about the situation. So you're riding a wave of a food craving, ah, there's the crest, now you're free falling down the other side. Most likely you've forgotten about the wave entirely. Next thing you know, here comes another wave. What do you do? You ride it too and then the next wave and the next after that. Habits, like waves, hit hard, but each successive wave (craving) is a little less intense. By riding the waves you'll find you can learn to surf them, then even enjoy them as they lose their power over you. Use EFT on Every Wave If you haven't yet learned to use EFT, get the fre.e materials and learn it. It's simple and very effective especially for cravings. The EFT process takes no more than 20 or 30 seconds and gives you something tangible to do for what first moment when you think you can't ride the craving wave at all. After the EFT, you may see you've already ridden it. Cravings are toughest to ride out at first because that's when you are still stuck in the old pattern of diving into it. Instead, make an effort to try something new. Stay out of the Water Post a mental "No Swimming" sign for the next wave. Decide in advance that you can go swimming anytime but instead of diving in, you're going to ride the next wave. This way it's always just one wave at a time, not the whole ocean. If you have a habit of overeating, no matter what time of day, realize it's just a habit. No different than a habit of biting your nails, twirling your hair, or picking lint off your sweater. Habits are acquired by repeating the same thing often enough that it becomes an established pattern. Breaking habits happens the same way, but in reverse. Habits can be broken, if you are willing to ride the waves. Even if you were trying to drive a different way to work, the desire to travel the old route would be strong. Eating habits aren't the only thing that's difficult to break, but it can certainly be done. If your family moved, you'd get used to driving another route and it wouldn't be traumatic either. Stop thinking you can't and know you can. When the urge strikes, decide right then to ride this craving out. Tell yourself, "I'm riding this craving," and then just do it. That means you decide in advance that you will wait 10 minutes perhaps or 5 minutes; whatever time works for you. Decide how many minutes you will wait before having the food and then see what happens. Waiting a few minutes gives you a chance for the wave to crest and you'll be amazed how often it does. Every single time you ride that wave and get to the other side it gets easier and easier. Now, for you, it could be that it takes a thousand waves before it gets easier but I can guarantee it will. The day will come when you'll realize you used to have a problem with this food or that, or you used to eat an entire bag of chips every night, but you no longer do. Now if you want a cookie, you eat a cookie but that crazy desire to eat them all has gone. The tide has turned. Couple this surfing metaphor with the EFT technique for cravings and you'll have a winning combination, but even without EFT, this is one way to stop feeling out-of-control, and start taking control instead. ~~ Kathryn Martyn, Master NLP Practitioner, EFT counselor, author of Changing Beliefs, Your First Step to Permanent Weight Loss, and owner of OneMoreBite-Weightloss.com lost 80 pounds over 17 years ago.

No Magic, Just Business

By Jillian Middleton You have permission to publish this article electronically or in print, free of charge, as long as the bylines are included. A courtesy copy of your publication would be appreciated. I started this article with a note from Bonnie Hersey because I want to make the point that it isn't magic that makes a network marketing business work. What makes a business work (network marketing or any business) are good foundational business tools. Bonnie calls them "Savvy Sponsoring simple but direct concepts" and she's absolutely correct. So many times people come to me hoping for the "magic words" to get everyone to say "Yes." But the big truth is there are no magic words. There are excellent simple tools that make every working day productive. But if that's true, why do so many people seem to struggle in Network Marketing? Why does network marketing have the less than stellar reputation it has? I think the reason for that is we are often our own worst enemy. Here's why. In everything I do my underlying goal is to get you to move into strong entrepreneurial thinking. But I run into a fair amount of resistance because of the notion that we don't want to be like Corporate America. Somehow the idea that running your home business like a real business translated into "being Corporate America." Beware of this. Be really careful if you're a Corporate America ex-patriot or if you just repeated the phrase "not like Corporate America" that you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Here's what I mean. I made my mind up when I was 23 (a lot of years ago) I didn't ever want to be a part of Corporate America again. I didn't want someone else to determine my future or tell me when to work or when not to work. So I started out on my entrepreneurial path. But that didn't mean that I jettisoned good solid business foundations. I just jettisoned the jerks and the nonsense rules. Do you see the difference? All businesses need good foundational business tools. And I mean all businesses. That includes knowing when you're going to show up for work and when the workday ends. You need to have real brick and mortar business hours. The difference now; it is your business, you determine those hours. You also determine the hours you spend with your family - away from the business. None of this constant double tasking with the phone stuck to your ear. Or being like Pavlov's dog and answering the phone every time it rings. (Think about that for a minute. Is the business you're in so life-threatening you need to respond immediately every time the phone rings? And yes there are ways to create these boundaries without your team falling apart. In fact it will make it stronger.) Now that you determine your future it means having a clear idea of exactly what it is you're going to do in the time that makes you money. Those activities (I call them money making activities) typically come out of a financial projection each month. Yes, I know Corporate America has a plan, map, goals but that's not a good enough reason to jettison them - not if you want your business to grow. First you determine what kind of volume you need to generate in order to make the money you want to make. And then you determine the exact activity you need to do in order to make the money. This may sound difficult but that's only because you don't know the simple steps that Bonnie now has under her belt. Anyone can learn to do this. What we don't have to do that Corporate America typically does, is turn your working environment into a dog eat dog competitive arena with our focus on results results results. Do you see the difference? Keep reading for a more clear idea. There are ways to have good strong challenging financial goals and enjoy the process of each day as we walk through our daily lives. Don't believe me? Read Bonnie's note again. It all depends where your focus is. Just because we have a financial goal and the activity lined out to get to that goal, doesn't mean we need to make ourselves nuts or put high pressure on ourselves (or our team) to achieve the financial results. If this sounds like the kind of business you'd like to run: 1. Simple sound business foundations for you and your team. You start every recruit using these foundations the day they sign up. (Think about that for a minute. Every person you start begins their business with the right tools to make their business productive, enjoyable and fulfilling from the get-go. In fact they are in money making activity within the first 24 to 48 hours they come into your business. No more burnout. No more pushing them into action or trying to keep them in action. It's just natural!) 2. A friendly calendar that gives you time for you, your family and your business. How would your team like that? 3. Financial goals centered around easy to accomplish money making activity. Do I hear cheers? ;-) 4. All the emphasis on how you're doing the activity rather than your results. The pressure is off and the real magic can take place. Yes this means having fun and learning while doing your business. STOP here a moment to reflect on that. If your emphasis is on learning and having fun with everything you do in your business (or your life for that matter) what do you think happens to the results? Do they go up or down? Let's see, you're having fun and youre learning. Is that a combination for success for failure? How attractive is that? Would you like to learn how do to that?

Sinus Infection Symptoms, Antibiotics, and Alternative Medicine

By Brian Carter Modern Living, Complex Health Problems In our post-modern industrial polluted stress-filled bad-diet culture, no one's health is simple. We are plagued by complex long-term illnesses like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, AIDS, even sinus problems... it may seem weird to you that I include sinus infections, but the root causes of sinus trouble can be quite complicated... Especially if they are long-term. Antibiotic Overuse Problems I hate to say it (because antibiotics are so great in some situations, and so popular overall), but antibiotics can complicate things even further - there are conditions that do not respond to them... and there are many situations in which they are not even indicated. Physicians have over-prescribed antibiotics for years... they know it, there have been studies that show it, and as a profession they've moved away from that. But people still want to leave the doctor's office with a prescription, a magic-bullet. Of course, sometimes the issue is which antibiotic is the most appropriate one. They don't all work for everything. Antibiotic Side Effects - When They're Wrong If the sinusitis hasn't responded to antibiotics, then either the wrong ones were prescribed, or you need to try another kind of treatment. Chinese Herbal Medicine can address the full spectrum of complaints and causes; we often treat the conditions which are not responding to conventional treatments like antibiotics. A woman wrote me about how antibiotics weren't solving her diarrhea problem- this can happen when the disease is cold in nature. Antibiotics are cold and bitter; these qualities help it fight the dampness and heat of bacterial infections. But they are more of the same damage when the disease is cold or deficient in nature. Acupuncture and moxibustion (the warming of acupuncture points) can also be effective; some people respond very quickly... results vary depending upon a number of factors (the acupuncturist's education, accuracy of diagnosis, frequency of treatment, and patient compliance with diet and lifestyle suggestions). Cold and Deficient If the mucus is clear or white, then it is more likely cold in nature. That fits with a Spleen-system deficiency and dampness. That would fit with the pulse she felt. You would have lowered appetite, feel fatigued, have loose stool, and possibly feel cold easily. Antibiotics wouldn't help here, and could even make things worse. Sinus Infection Symptoms The classic acute sinusitis symptoms are nasal congestion, green nasal phlegm, facial/dental pain, eye pain, headache, and a cough at night. Some patients also complain of fever, feeling ill, bad breath and a sore throat. Chronic sinusitis is more difficult to diagnose. You can have the same symptoms above in a milder form. Chronic means long-term; it's not usually thought of as chronic unless it's been going on for 2 months or more. Sinus Infection Causes Sinus problems can be caused by many things- you have to think about environmental and food allergies (allergic sinusitis), chronic sinus infection, and chronic colds. Without more information, it's hard to be specific. Sinusitis often develops after colds, and can become a chronic problem. The sinuses are very small... one of our weak points, especially for people with weakened immune systems or in the presence of irritants (once again, pollution, allergens, etc.)... she probably asked about the farms and pesticides while she was thinking about the cause of your chronic sinusitis. Mold, Fungus, and Sick Buildings And we can't forget about mold! While some people appear to be more sensitive than others, fungus can cause fungal sinusitis. This gets into the whole 'sick-building' topic... Mold can grow in the walls of houses and offices, and is not always easy to detect. Decongestant Side Effects Decongestants are often prescribed. They work by drying you out. Unfortunately, they don't just dry the mucus. Long-term use of decongestants can lead to other problems, like the dry or heat types of sinus inflammation. This is why, in Chinese Medicine, we always balance an herb with other herbs- if we are drying the phlegm, we also moisten at the same time. Moisture helps the sinuses drain- you remember that Crocodile-Dundee-put-your-head-under-the-steaming-pot-thing? Likewise, there are chinese herbs whose function it is to moisten and transform phlegm. Serious Causes of Sinusitis, and Serious Solutions For those with chronic sinusitis, tests need to be done to rule out the serious things. Sinusitis can be just a simple end-of-your-cold complication, but it can also show up as part of: nasal tumors, fungal infections, and HIV or other immunodeficiency. What about the sinusitis surgery? It works from 50-93% of the time... so it can be a great help if you're sick and tired of it, and nothing else has worked. but it's also a super-painful process! I would see an herbalist first.

The University Cafeteria

By Ashok Malhotra Cafeterias and restaurants are important in university campuses. The largest Cafeteria of the university designed for use by staff, students and visitors is generally the most visited component of a university. It is also a place where students and faculty can take their visitors for a brief coffee break or a lunch hour visit. A well-designed Central cafeteria, housed perhaps in the student center adds to functional efficiency of the university. For here, the lunch hour can be combined with a visit to the bank, post office and the book store along with a friendly exchange of words with colleagues, fellow students, visitors, staff and faculty who may be visiting the same building at the same time. Universities where such centers are not common would do well to plan for it on their campuses. As mentioned, the ideal location for the central cafeteria of a university is the student center. The student center building containing the cafeteria, along with the administration building can easily be designed as the two largest buildings on a university campus because of their central and essential functions. Both of these buildings need to be accessed from the academic departments as well as by outsiders and vehicles. Therefore, their placement in the university in conjunction with parking areas and the university boulevard has to be incorporated in the master plan. The best location for a student center on a campus is a location close to the administration building but towards the student residential area. It must also be close to the University Boulevard and Visitors Parking area. The building needs to be surrounded by lawns and gardens containing benches for sitting. The university cafeteria needs to be spacious not just because of the large number of its visitors but also because spacing between tables should ideally be much more than the spacing between tables in an ordinary restaurant. Students often use these tables to read or complete an assignment along with a snack, lunch or dinner. The acoustic design of a university cafeteria should be such as to minimize noise level. Using non-reflecting wall coverings and providing sections of the cafeteria that can be opened to surroundings during busy hours takes care of this need. Music may never be permitted inside a university cafeteria for the same reason. Other sound proof sections of the student center can be designed to permit music. It may be mentioned that a university cafeteria needs to serve nutritious food at subsidized rates. Its primary clients are students, who are not earning members of society. Two different models for running such cafeterias are prevalent. In the first one, the university gives out a contract to a private caterer. In the second, the university runs its own food services department and runs the cafeteria by hiring the required staff. Both models have inherent limitations. When services are contracted out to a private caterer he gets an assured and captive clientele without having to face competition of the open market. This can, and often does lead to deterioration in the quality of food and service. Although contracts are for limited periods of time, university food contractors tend to stick on for various reasons. On the other hand, when a university runs the cafeteria on its own, we end up with a problem similar to the problem that state enterprises face. A staff assured of employment yet unconcerned about profits can lead to a costly establishment providing a poor service. A novel solution to the problem is to provide a set of small kitchens five or six instead of a single large one. These kitchens are then hired out to separate caterers or restaurants serving different types of food. The maintenance and cleaning of the premises as well as billing are entrusted to staff hired by the university. A common billing clerk charges the appropriate amounts for food from different counters. The practice is to provide a plastic tray and cutlery at the entrance of the food counter enclosure. After the desired items of food are procured in the enclosure a customer proceeds for billing in much the same way as billing in a supermarket. The billing of food items is done at the exit of this enclosure. The billing done on a computer easily segregates and divides the proceeds between the different caterers. A separate counter for hot and cold beverages (requiring the least effort in preparation) is kept under the direct control of the university department. Profits from it help maintain the cafeteria. A clause in the contract with caterers ensures that the caterer with the least cumulative sales (i.e. the least popular one) shall not have his contract renewed in the subsequent year. Poor caterers thus last for a year, while a good one can remain forever at the university. This system introduces competition amongst caterers and provides for constant improvement. The best of the caterers can be sure of long contracts, whereas the poor ones would be quickly changed. The fact that the university provides space, cutlery, utilities, and some of the staff to run the cafeteria automatically introduces a measure of subsidy that can translate into lower costs. In this competitive system, the university need not control the costs since an expensive caterer will generally not be popular with students. Some ground rules have to be specified in this food court, such as the number of items each caterer may prepare. A campus without a good cafetaria is a barren one.

85% LTV Self Employed Mortgages and Remortgages

By Damian Youell Self Employed Mortgages and, Remortgages 85% LTV For a long time self employed people, company directors, freelancers and people on bonuses have found it difficult to get finance for their home on a mortgage or remortgage. The problem is for tax reasons the self employed person minimizes their income however in many cases they will earn much more than can be proved through certified accounts or tax returns. Because traditionally a bank or building society will only lend you 3.5 X your earnings this limits the borrowing amount of self employed people, company directors, freelancers and people on bonuses to much lower than they can afford. Another problem is that most small businesses don't keep certified accounts and thus cannot provide a mortgage lender with the required proof of earnings. New startups have a similar problem because many lenders require 2 years of certified accounts and a new business running for a year cannot provide these figures. Luckilly for self employed people, company directors, freelancers and people on bonuses there is a specialized mortgage product called a self certification or self cert mortgage. When applying for an self certification or self cert mortgage the application just asks you how much you earn per year. The main difference here though is that you are not required to prove your earnings, the lender just trust what amount you disclosed to be correct. Because a self certification or self cert mortgage or remortgage has higher risk for the lender most deposits for this kind of mortgage are 15% or 85% loan to the property value. Therefore if you want to purchase a property worth 200000 then you would need a 30000. In the high competition market we are in lenders are now offering self certs with even lower deposits and 90 or 95 percent LTV. For more details visit Self Employed Mortgages Loans

PrePaid Legal Services - Inexpensive Access To Legal Help

By Danny Trammel It's no doubt that at some point in their life, everyone will need the services of an Attorney. Even the simplest legal help can be very expensive. Whether you need to review a contract, obtain a divorce, a letter written on your behalf, a will written to protect your assets, or even ask for legal advice most people can't afford the Attorney fees that are often necessary to remedy their legal situation. A growing number of people today are turning to an inexpensive form of preventive legal insurance called PrePaid legal. PrePaid legal works much in the same way as your Health, Dental or even Car insurance. When you buy car insurance, you pay a monthly fee based on your driving record, age, etc. As long as you pay your monthly premium, you're protected under that insurance policy in case of an auto accident. With a PrePaid legal insurance plan you also have a monthly premium, it works the same way. Lawyers are available for you and your family in case you need them - in some cases 24 hours a day. One of the most distinguishable differences between a PrePaid legal insurance plan and other forms of insurance is that your monthly premium never goes up no matter how often you use it. This means that you are able to use your provider law firm as much as you feel it it's necessary and anytime you have a question. Some employers offer PrePaid legal insurance as a fringe benefit. Employers understand the burden that a legal problem can place on their employees. It almost always leads to less productivity and loss of focus on work. You may want to check with your employer to see if it's available. If it's not available where you work, you can usually request it or obtain it individually. Although Attorney hourly rates at an all-time high and the cost of a retainer fee is unmentionable for most people, at some point everyone needs the legal advice or legal help. But, before you decide on a particular company or Prepaid legal plan, do your due diligence and make sure you're dealing with a reputable company rather than a fly-by-night startup and be positive that the particular PrePaid legal plan is right for you and your family. Danny Trammel is a staff member of http://www.ValueLegalPlans.com and regular contributor to the Legal community. He is considered an expert in the field of PrePaid Legal Services.

Spring Wedding Ideas

By Dennis Estrada Spring is the time of new life, beginnings, and adventure. The weather starts to warm up as the sun slowly emerges. And, the surrounding starts to turn green. Then, the flowers start to bloom. That is why spring wedding is getting popular. Think of bouquet of flowers, bulb of flowers, pot of herbs, group of butterflies, group of dragonflies, breeze of spring, and garden of vegetables as the wedding themes. Decorate the wedding with abundance of flowers and green. The wedding can also have an accent of Easter feel as Easter falls on the spring time. The spring wedding flowers are a variety of magnolia, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, ranunculus, snowdrops, tulips, and anemones. The anemones are a Dutch flower with vibrant petals, and dark centers. To add an Easter feel, the hyacinth, irises, and daffodils works best. Yellow, pink, lavender, and green are classic colors for the spring wedding. The colors works for wedding dress too. In fact, the colored wedding dress is trendy and fashionable. Moreover, the spring is the best time to take a chance to be daring, delicious, and adventurous. The bride can actually get away with pink, tan, or beige wedding dress. For the groom, the chocolate or mocha brown suit will work perfectly. The weather in spring can be very unpredictable. Prepare for a change of weather within hours. Have several plans for sunny, foggy, windy, and rainy day. For example, an outdoor event tent can be very handy during rainy days. Decorate the center of the table at the reception with a bulb of flower on a clear glass and water resin. For example, a bulb of pink or white tulip flower sets in a clear glass and water resin. Another example, a bulb of pink magnolia flower with twigs and leaves set in a clear glass, and water resin. And lastly but not least, a bulb of snowdrop flower set in clear glass and water resin. For romantic mood, there is nothing like a candle light. To make the candle light to work, the wedding must start a little later. To hang a metal lantern also works. The candle in glass votive that is tied up in an organza ribbon can also be placed on each table. It can work as a wedding favors too. The centerpiece for the wedding reception can be a garden of herbs, and flowers. The pots of rosemary, thyme, or other herbs will work. The shrub espaliers which can grow in many geometric shapes and sculptures looks beautiful as a centerpiece. Use the freshness of herbs, vegetables, and fruits for the wedding menu. The strawberries, apricots, and rhubarbs are a party in your mouth during spring time. The fresh spinach, asparagus, and carrot are awesome on the side. The herbs can really spice up the menu as well. The wedding in spring can be very tricky. The wedding will compete with proms for the venues. So, you must plan early. The weather can be tricky as well. The weather can change anytime. That is why it is good idea to have plan A and B. With spring time, you can play and have fun with colors. It is no wonder that spring wedding is getting popular. Dennis Estrada owns winter wedding ideas, wedding toasts for reception dinner, and wedding bubbles and wedding tosses website.

Herbal Skin Care

By Josh Riverside Herbs have been used in skin care from times immemorial. Ancient Ayurvedic texts in India speak of the use various herbs, such as, basil, turmeric, and saffron in skin care preparations. Herbs are now being increasingly used in the manufacture of skin care products across the world because of their healing and rejuvenating properties. Some brands do not even use artificial preservatives in their products, instead depending on the inherent quality of certain herbs to preserve themselves. Today, aloe vera is one of the most popular herbs, hailed for its skin-soothing and anti-aging properties. It is used in cleansers, face washes, massage creams, sunscreens, and anti-acne products. Tea tree oil is also widely used in skin care products for its antiseptic and anti-acne properties. Ginseng, sage, rosemary, witch hazel, chamomile, calendula, and arnica are also popular. They are used in the manufacture of skin care products for different skin types, based on their properties. Basil and mint are used in acne skin care because of their anti-bacterial and refreshing properties. Fresh basil or mint juice can be applied everyday on pimples. Turmeric is another essential ingredient in many skin care products because of its antiseptic quality. It ensures a glowing, blemish-free complexion. Fresh turmeric fingers can be ground with a little milk and applied on the face and the body. Pure saffron is widely used in traditional medicinal and skin care preparations in India and the Middle East. A few almonds and saffron strands can be soaked in milk and then ground into a paste with the milk. Mixed with rosewater, this face mask nourishes and revitalizes skin. These are simple herbal skin care preparations that can be made by everybody at home. However, elaborate herbal remedies should not be attempted at home without proper knowledge of herbs and their effects. To conclude, certain herbs are very beneficial for the skin and products containing them can be used with good effect. However, products of only reputed brands should be used, as the wrong mix of herbs could create problems.

Advanced Body Acceptance: The Secret To Weight Loss Success

By Annette Colby Self-acceptance and body love can be tough concepts to grasp and even tougher to incorporate. The degree of difficulty doesnt seem to matter if youre thin or very large or somewhere in-between. It takes time and persistence to create a new belief about ones self and ones body. Dont worry so much about losing your old beliefs about yourself. Instead, take the time to build new beliefs. In a way, building self acceptance and body acceptance are a little like creating a homemade tapered candle. You start with only the wick. The wick represents your desire to create something new. You begin by dipping the wick into a vat of wax, pull it out and wait for it to dry, and continue the process over and over again until the candle is perfectly formed. The same with self-acceptance. If you currently hate your body, your body parts, and/or yourself, its time to begin somewhere. At first, you might not notice much change. Yet with each new thought that is consciously entered into the mind, we can create new beliefs and a new sense of self-acceptance. Like the gradual layering of the wax upon the wick, we can create positive, self-loving thoughts that begin to take hold and form shape. Make Peace with Yourself Dont believe everything you think. Start thinking from your heart instead of your head. Allow your heart to be in control and believe it over your mind. Your heart is kind and loving and wishes to receive love into itself. Open your heart. Flow this love deep into your body. Imagine yourself drinking deeply, taking this love in, digesting and absorbing all this love into your own physical body. Look in the Mirror Make the bold move to have heartfelt generosity for your body. Hear your objections and then . . . surrender. Take a moment in the mirror to stop and consciously be grateful for the gift of your body. Concentrate on your wealth! Look at everything you have - tangible or intangible - and feel grateful for your wealth. Feel good about your body today and it will become easier to eat healthy. Show up in front of the mirror with an idea you are really wanting. Allow yourself to be clear that it is the feeling you are really wanting, not just the better body. Live In The Now When you are waiting for something to occur, you are not focused on what is occurring now. Yes, it is wonderful to be excited by the expectancy of achieving your goals. It is wonderful to feel the excitement fill your body as you imagine having what you want. But then it is necessary to bring your joy back into the present time of now. Ask yourself how you can bring fullness into this moment. What could you focus on to enhance this moment of now? What is there in this moment to feel gratitude for? Accept What Is For most people, accepting their current physical body is the last thing they want to consider. How can you accept something you wish to change or something you hate? The immediate reaction is to make the present situation go away. To escape from it. But there is no escape from anything. What we resist persists. Only by allowing reality and embracing it can we then create something new. The only way out is through. The way to achieve the body you want is to first be in harmony with it. The body is not your enemy. The body loves you and simply reflects the energy within. Accept what is without resistance. Ask yourself (with gentleness), What are the feelings within me that have created this situation? All along, soothe yourself with a wisdom that reassures you are now creating an opportunity to know more about your heart, to know more about love. Mind over Matter Negative self-talk is destructive to your happiness and your goals. We are all human and almost everyones body has some perceived flaws or imperfections. Yet our flaws make us unique. To love our body we must begin somewhere. Even if that beginning is a lie, we must begin. In the group AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) there is a saying, Fake it until you make it. Meaning, say and do the behaviors you wish to embody until they become real. This takes courage, responsibility and risk. And yet, if you never begin, if you never risk, you will never know the divine truth of who you really are. Treat Your Body Well When we understand and appreciate our bodies, we are able to work with them, not against them. Learn to be in loving acceptance of your own beauty. Allow for the possibility that you deserve what you have requested, and you deserve to know and appreciate who you are. Imagine your life as you incorporate more and more self-loving aspects: Be attracted to what lifts you up. Let go of what pulls you down. Consciously seek out more experiences that feel good. Focus your eyes on what is larger more than on what is smaller. Laugh so hard tears come from your eyes. Dance and sing with wild abandon while listening to your favorite song. Tell yourself you are beautiful. Swing on a swing in the playground. Mail yourself a love letter. Clean out your closet and get rid of any clothes that dont fit you. Wear clothes that fit you, and that you feel good in. Develop a partnership with food. Fall in love with yourself. Helping people let go of self-destructive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors has been the life work of Dr. Annette Colby. Her fascination with the power of the mind, emotions, spirituality, and physicality has led her to become a leader in the field of personal growth and consciousness. She is a valued counselor, and an inspiring teacher, as well as an independent writer, mentor, and guide.
