Learn To Be A Dynamic Student

By Dr Jay Polmar

BE DYNAMIC through SPEED READING methods makes what you read become a part of long-term memory. This is caused by intense concentration. Intense concentration causes the altering of states of consciousness which, in turn, accesses long-term memory.

Another factor is photographic or tape-recorder memories. You have the potential to remember everything you have ever seen or heard, even if you weren't paying attention to what was said. Your brain/mind, like a computer, stores all memories.

As you start to learn the various methods used in the BE DYNAMIC THROUGH SPEED READING, you'll notice some intentional redundancy, repetition! It is techniques repeated over and over, with visualization and various other added methods that will help you achieve the results you desire and be the best you can possibly be.

You'll become a better student, employee, communicator, and decision maker in your life. And only one of your benefits will be that you will cut reading time on reports, memos, correspondence, newspapers, novels, non-fiction, magazine, etc. You will save time, and more time to enjoy life.

If you didn't know this, let me clue you in to the reality that writers get paid by the word in articles and by % of gross sales (royalties) in book publishing; usually the thicker the book the higher the price and the higher the royalty. Writers are unnecessary verbose. What this means is there are many words within sentences that are just there as fillers; what you have to learn to do, through the Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading program, is only read the words that are essential.

Dr. Jay Polmar and his team wrote the "Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading" program to share these valuable tools with students to help them get the most out of their reading experience. In the past two years he has worked with other educators to bring students the Perfect Learning System (www.perfectlearningsystems.com) which includes Be Dynamic, mind mapping comprehension and memory supports, plus special speed reading software developed to match the Perfect Learning System. - 20763

The Historical Roots Of MMA: Muhammad Ali Vs. Antonio Inoki

By Ross Everett

The UFC has only recently brought mixed martial arts to the mainstream in the US, but in Japan there's a long tradition of fights pitting contestants from different disciplines against each other. While they've only been called MMA or 'mixed martial arts' in recent years, the sport clearly has its roots in these early contests between wrestlers, judo fighters and boxers. In Japan, Antonio Inoki's fights against world famous martial artists brought great notoriety to the still evolving sport.

Inoki would often face other martial artists in fights that are widely accepted to have been "worked" (having a predetermined outcome) in the same manner as professional wrestling matches. While Inoki faced a number of karate, judo and boxing champions his most famous match was certainly his fight against world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali.

There's still much speculation about how Muhammad Ali came to fight Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, and even more uncertainty about what happened immediately before and during the fight. Ali took the booking because he thought it was to be a big paycheck for little work. Most accounts suggest that his handlers agreed to the 'worked' finish without his knowledge, and once he found out that he was to 'take a dive' he refused.

By the time the fight began, Ali's handlers had obtained a ridiculously one sided set of rules that prohibited Inkoi from using a closed fist, striking Ali in the head at all, using any chokes or submissions or even trying to take the fight to the ground. Were it not for the huge amount of money he'd be leaving on the table, Inoki would have been justified in not fighting at all under these highly restrictive and one-sided conditions.

Despite the repeated howls from the media that the fight was 'fixed', it was anything but--it was a real fight and painfully boring. Ali did next to nothing, Inoki did whatever he could within the one sided rules. Eventually, Inoki spent most of the fight on the ground trying to throw kicks at Ali's legs. The event ended up as a 74-74 draw. Both fighters got paid, and the fans got to watch a fight albeit a really, really bad one.

The fight was officiated by former pro wrestler "Judo" Gene Labell, a legendary tough guy considered at the time to be the 'baddest man on the planet'. He could have easily beaten up both men, possibly at the same time. That might have provided some much needed entertainment to liven up the tedious charade masquerading as a fight.

In the aftermath of the fight, Inoki's popularity was greater than ever--in a perverse way he was something of a hero due to his trying to fight despite the rules being stacked so soundly against him. He remained one of the country's most popular professional wrestlers and even enjoyed a career in Japan's parliament. Without missing a beat, he quickly resumed his series of fights against other martial artists who were apparently all more comfortable with the "worked" environment of pro wrestling. Among his "victims" was none other than Leon Spinks, presumably serving as some sort of vindication for his draw with Ali. The popularity of these matches led to a number of promotions that were essentially hybrids of martial arts and pro wrestling, and these led to the big Japanese MMA promotions of today. - 20763

What is a Lucid Dream?

By Colleen Rikke

If you are unfamiliar with the term, a lucid dream is one in which you are aware that you are dreaming. Lucid, of course denotes consciousness. The extent to which you are lucid within your dream depends on how stable the dream is, how much of the dream you can recall upon waking and how much control you have over the course of the dream.

Control over your dream is the most important element of Lucid Dreaming. It is an incredible experience to be in the midst of a dream and to know that you are in fact dreaming. You are in control of everything in your dream and can have any experience you choose to have.

Just think about this for a moment. A Lucid Dream is like reality in every aspect; you can se, feel and use all of your senses, but with the knowledge that you are perfectly safe and can do literally anything you want. This is a virtual reality experience far beyond the capabilities of any computer technologies to produce.

Lucid dreaming is an incredible skill that more and more people are mastering. Having a Lucid Dream is something almost everyone experiences very occasionally, but just imagine how exhilarating it would be if you could Lucid Dream whenever you want to!

A Lucid Dream can be a doorway to some amazing experiences! Meeting and interacting with your favorite celebrity, having untamed erotic fantasies, taking a trip to distant planets, visiting fantasy worlds and touring them, conversing with a lost loved one, in fact anything at all; there are no limits to your imagination!

Being able to experience Lucid Dreaming on a regular basis is something which it used to take a long time to be able to do. Some spent months before they could have a Lucid Dream " and some were never able to master the technique.

So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?

There are those who maintain that certain foods can foster Lucid Dreaming if eaten before bed; among these are mustard, dairy products and orange juice.

Others recommend popcorn, pickles, fish and ice cream. While these people say that these foods prepare your mind for Lucid Dreaming, it should be noted that many of them are also high in salt and fat, which won't necessarily help you to get a good night's rest.

Can Technology Assist You?

As technology improves, so does the chance to get assistance with your Lucidity. There are now modern devices that you can use to stimulate and induce lucid dreams. There are innovative devices like masks and eyeshades that notice faster eye movement and blink a red diode when you begin to doze. This red beam is integrated into the dream, and reminds the person who is asleep that they are dreaming. The person can then start to control the dream once they realize that it actually is a dream!

But exciting new developments in sound technology have opened up the world of Lucid Dreams to anybody! A process has been developed by scientists where different sound frequency waves are played in each ear. This is known as binaural beats.

Binaural frequencies help to synchronize the hemispheres of your brain " listening to them helps the brain to reach REM sleep, which is the necessary state for Lucid Dreaming.

For anyone wondering what it is like to experience a Lucid Dream, then this is definitely the easiest and most reliable way of getting started! - 20763

Minnesota Loses First Game of Season

By Ross Everett

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers' used a couple of big plays from their defense in the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Vikings by a final score of 27-17. Favre put up decent yardage in the loss, throwing for 334 yards but had no touchdowns and an interception.

NFL pointspread players who backed the Steelers as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the cover. Pittsburgh had only covered one of their first six games heading into the contest, and the win improved their record against the number to 2-5. Minnesota dropped to 4-3 against the spread with the setback.

The Steelers largely shut down Minnesota's rushing game, holding Adrian Peterson to 69 yards. Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark underscored his team's dominance against the run:

"That's the biggest point of the game. You have the best running back in the world and you don't give it to him. They're saying they can't beat us running, and that's a major statement when you have the guy they have back there."

Favre gave a feeble justification for the loss in his postgame interview:

"There were a lot of what ifs, a lot of reasons we didn't win. The red zone was one of them. They're physical, and they were as good as we thought they'd be. ... When I came here and looked at our schedule and saw the Steelers game, I went, 'Oh-h-h.' "

Favre has only thrown three interceptions in a Vikings' uniform, but #3 was a costly one as it was returned by Steelers' Keyaron Fox for a touchdown to put the game out of reach as Minnesota was driving for a potential game tying field goal. Afterwards, Fox recalled the play:

"Brett tried to force it in there and the running back bobbled it and slipped out of his hands and it fell into my lap. I had just run across the field after Peterson and I was winded, so it felt like it was 100-plus yards."

The Vikings now face another big game next week as they head to Favre's old stomping grounds in Green Bay for a battle with the Packers. It'll be Favre's first appearance at his old home in an enemy uniform. The Vikings will then have a bye weekend before hosting the lowly Detroit Lions on November 15. Pittsburgh will enjoy a bye week this week before returning to action on Monday, November 9th facing the Denver Broncos on the road. - 20763

Scented Geraniums - How To Root Them

By Keith Markensen

Home gardeners find that rooting scented-leaved geraniums is not always easy. Often they have a favorite plant they want to propagate and after several attempts meet with failure. Among the many kinds, some root very easily, while others are very tricky.

Of the popular scented-leaved geraniums, the lemon-scented and the rose-scented varieties root easily and quickly under common propagating methods.

The lemon-scented (Pelargonium crispum) is a small stemmed plant, with tiny crinkled leaves, which requires considerably more water than most geraniums. Take cuttings about 3-3/4 inches long and trim off all leaves from the bottom up to 1-1/4 inches. Make a clean cut beneath an eye, dip the end into 3X rooting powder and insert the cuttings in clean sand, deep enough so that the lower leaves do not touch the sand. Shade until signs of growth are evident. Then remove shade and keep plants a little drier.

Oak-leaved varieties (Pelargonium quercifolium) are not too difficult. Take tender cuttings, but if they are hardened, root them under drier conditions. A 1X rooting powder is best. Practically all hardy and easy-to-root as well are the flowering scented varieties, none of which demand anything beyond normal cultural conditions. Here again water well, and allow the sand to become rather dry, but not arid, before watering again.

Spice-scented and fruit-scented varieties vary considerably in their needs, but here is how some of the more familiar kinds should be handled.

Use Rooting Powder

Cuttings from the nutmeg geranium (Pelargonium fragrans) and its varieties are made from the heaviest wood available and dipped in a No. 1 or No. 2 rooting powder. These are dependable rooters, but it is best to leave them in the sand for three or four months until the tuberous-type roots have formed.

Apple-scented geraniums (Pelargonium odoratissimum) are propagated from the very short joints which radiate from the main stem and then potted directly into 2-1/2" pots filled with good soil. They will invariably lose all their leaves, but will fill out with new growth. So it is a must to know why there are brown tips on plants.

Ginger-scented, lemon-balm and almond-scented are all very easy to root under ordinary conditions.

Gooseberry-leaved geranium (Pelargonium grossularioides) is another very small-wooded variety which should he well shaded and given a little more than the usual amount of water, especially after the first week or two in sand.

Mint-scented varieties (Pelargonium tomentosam) including Peppermint, Pungent Peppermint and Joy Lucile require only the usual practices given cuttings. - 20763

Who Pays The Real Estate Agent When A Foreclosed Home Is Purchased?

By Adriana Noton

You may wonder who pays the real estate agent when a foreclosed home is purchased. In these economic times there are many foreclosed properties on the market. There are many real estate investors who are buying up homes rehabbing them and selling them for a profit to first time home owners and even to other investors. Some investors are paying as little as thirty cents on the dollar.

They are buying from foreclosed properties or what is known in the real estate industry as an REO. This stands for real estate owned. These are properties that the bank owns because they were foreclosed upon. The buyer or person who took out the loan on the house failed to make the requisite payments and defaulted on the loan and now the bank owns the property.

The problem however is that banks are not in the real property selling business. Banks are in the business of lending money. Now we have banks with a large inventory of foreclosed properties, or REO's. Because of a very active and influential lobby group in Washington DC, banks cannot sell their foreclosed properties without a real estate agent.

So if you are looking to buy an REO for real estate investment purposes or if you are looking for a home to buy to live in you will have to go through a real estate agent and not deal directly with the bank. And in almost every case the agent will be paid his or her commission from the sale of the house which means that the bank will pay the commission.

However you need to understand that the agent commission is figured into the price of the property. So the buyer will not have to cut a check to the agent but the buyer will be paying for the commission in some form simply because the bank has added part if not all the commission to the sale of the property.

But usually when an agent is acting on the behalf of a bank he or she will not get as high a commission percentage as the real estate agent would when working with a private buyer and not a bank which has more ability to negotiate a lower rate of commission because of the volume of houses they deal in. Many banks only work with a limited number of agents.

In fact when you contact an agent you might notice that some will list on their business cards that they are REO specialists. If you are looking for a foreclosed property you will want to work with an agent with this specialty. What has been happening recently also is that many banks are actually holding onto many foreclosed properties.

There rationale is that if they release their REO properties little by little they will be able to inflate the prices of their properties and thereby not lose as much money as they would have if they released all their houses at once. The government is frowning on this practice as it is creating a falsely inflated housing market. - 20763

Event Photography Money Making Ideas

By Willy Wong

One of the many ways you can make money as a photographer is to specialize on events. Christenings, weddings, and lots of other events where people make memories can be well paid business. The great thing is that all you need is a good digital camera, tons of memory cards, and some business cards.

How to do it

Cover only events where it is hard for people to take the pics themselves and where they will want to keep their memories frozen in film.

One idea is to go to kids sports events. Get permission from the coach to click pics for the parents watching and then start clicking away. If you turn up with a wopping big telephoto lens like the ones used for pro coverage of events, you will be taken seriously. Make sure you get all the children doing great action shots and then hand out flyers to all the kids' parents watching with your web address. If you can write down the parents email address so you can email them the URL of you site then upload the pics to your web site that day and email everyone. If you have a simple shopping cart set up you can make money in a few hours as people pop in to see the pics and buy them for $20 or more a pop.

You can do a similar thing with weddings. Take all the regular pictures as part of the wedding coverage but then get your URL printed on the wedding invites and all the other wedding materials and also get an email list of all the wedding guests, offer the couple a nice 20% discount for doing this and then take lots of extra pics at the wedding of the guests doing all the things they do. Upload all the pics to your site and send the emails. You will then make a lot more money than the 20% discount it cost you because then 20 or 30 people will be also buying your pics at $20 or more a shot straight from your site. Charging a higher price for high res pics is also a great money spinner.

The trick is to find a corner in the market place where you can excel by being the best photographer in the room, and offering an easy way for people to buy your photos.

Dog shows, fashion shows, horse shows, car shows, livestock competitions, rock shows, - the list goes on. Keep your eye out in the events section of your local paper to see what is happening. Always ask for permission to shoot pics and if you need to offer the people 10% of the income if feel you need to so you can get easy access. - 20763

The Correct Casket Can Be Your Feelings For The Departed

By Abel Reyes

Death is normally followed by overbearing sorrow and distress, leaving family and friends inconsolable and sentimentally overwhelmed by the departure of a loved one. However, making appropriate preparations for the funeral still requires to be attended to and this will require the choice of a suitable casket.

Choosing a suitable casket is quite hard, as you would want to purchase a good product at the correct price when you are just not in a psychological state to bargain. However, making the final choice can be easier if the departed had expressed his choice for a specific type of casket when he was alive or if his or her religious beliefs require a certain kind of casket.

Many casket choices come in a range of sizes, styles, shapes, and accordingly differing rate tags. They are normally divided into two broad categories, funeral caskets and burial caskets. While the funeral casket is meant for the body to be seen during the memorial service, the burial casket is normally only appropriate for burial purposes.

Caskets come in various materials, such as wood, metal, fibre glass, and marble. In previous times, wooden caskets were preferred and choice from various kinds of wood such as mahogany, maple, oak etc could be made. Wooden caskets are of good quality and look very elegant and nice when polished, but these also cost more than caskets made of other materials. Metal caskets are a good option with their bronze, stainless steel, or copper finish, and you will have options of different colours, designs, and patterns.

Caskets made of eco friendly material are also gaining popularity as people are becoming aware of their responsibility towards the environment to protect our planet Earth. As the basic materials used are completely biodegradable, these caskets cause least harm to the planet. These could be your best tribute to the deceased if he or she believed strongly in protecting the environment. - 20763

Cincinnati Rips Chicago

By Ross Everett

Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory. Cincinnati improved to 5-2 with the win while Chicago dropped to 3-3 on the NFL season.

The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1' home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3.

A happy Benson described his feelings after the win:

"Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff."

Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:

"I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I'm not shoving anything in anybody's face. Like I say, it wasn't a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities."

He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check and play under control:

"There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling."

Bengals' receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:

"I don't understand why it went this way today and why it didn't go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do."

Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:

"That was pretty embarrassing. It's embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do."

The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They'll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. The Bears are -13' home favorites with the total set at 40. - 20763

Can You Benefit From Past Life Regression?

By James A Simmeon

People have always had a great interest in learning about their past lives. Many religions have a strong belief in the existence of a past life. Most want to learn about their past lives out of curiosity but the fact is you can make a change for the better in your life by using it. Most people do not think about it that way when they seek to discover their past lives.

What lures most people to explore their past lives is the intriguing nature of it. Somewhat like living a real life science fiction movie, remembering our past lives is a little off the beaten path to say the least. The thing to consider is that Past Life Regression can benefit us greatly in our present life.

Even scientists agree that using Past Life Regression can be used effectively to make changes for the best in anyone's life. You can learn from the trauma you suffered in your past life and the mistakes you made as well.

The process involves usually a hypnosis session with a Past Life Regression expert, or it can also be done via self hypnosis. There are other tools that can help.

One of these is to try regular affirmations sessions, to prepare the subconscious mind to accept that it is okay to remember your past lives.

It is necessary to accept certain things before you attempt to use Past Life Regression to explore your past lives.

Our past life is connected to the life we are presently living. We have the memories of the past lives; they are just buried deep within our subconscious minds and have to be brought out.

You cannot just know about your past life and expect your life to improve. You have to take the necessary steps to put this information to use before it will benefit you.

You can use your experiences in your past lives to make changes for the better in your present life. Knowledge of your past will help in your present and future life. You will learn from the mistakes of the past.

Some people however, for various reasons find it impossible to believe in reincarnation. However Past Life Regression can be of immense help in either changing your life for good or helping in avoidance of commission of big mistakes in present life even if you think that all the events you remember are merely the results of a fertile imagination.

Whatever you believe, the experts still advise you to go through Past Life Regression because of two reasons:

a) If you benefit from the lessons of such events by applying them to the present life, then these were indeed, the past life experiences.

b) Even if you think these events are pure figments of your imagination, the cathartic release you may get from experiencing such thoughts may free-up your mind of something that is blocking your health, success, and creativity.

So, what are all the benefits we are looking for by undergoing Past Life Regression?

1) The trauma of the past life has a negative effect on our present life. Remembering it helps us to heal and live a more positive life.

2) You will be able to think and make decisions more clearly.

3) Learning from the mistakes committed in the past prevents the repetition of those mistakes in the present life. For instance, you may have acted cruelly against someone in your past life. This knowledge will help you avoid the same behavior in your present life.

4) It helps in bringing to the fore the hidden talents and skills. There are certain talents you had in the past life that remain obscure in the unconscious mind of the present life. The acknowledgment and bringing out of such talents could change your life for good forever.

5) You will have a better understanding of yourself and realize why you do the things you do. You will know why you have a certain personality or characteristic that was a mystery to you before.

Try it and see what it can do for you, you have nothing to lose. It just may be the key you need to change your life in a way that you have always dreamed of. - 20763

Self Storage Warehousing - A Concise Guide

By Winnie Taylor

Whether it is storing items for a few days or a few months at a stretch, self storage warehousing comes to great use for both individuals and companies.

Inexpensiveness, flexibility, high security standards and a number of other facilities - all channeled towards customer satisfaction, give it an edge over other forms of commercial warehousing services. But before availing the services of a self-storage facility, some important factors must be taken into account so that you have a trouble-free experience with the service.

First of all, it is necessary to guess the total size of space needed and conducting a comparative analysis of the prices charged by the different self storage units. Additional services like weather-control facilities to regulate the heat and moisture level inside the unit for preservation of electronic goods, fragile artwork etc can sometimes be vital for your valuable items.

Safety from fire or from criminal acts of theft and robbery should also be offered by any good self storage company. Choose to ignore these important issues only at your own peril, because if you end up using the services of a dubious firm, it could place your valuables in danger through poor warehousing.

As far as your role in the whole process is concerned, here are some recommendations that can help. Prepare a list of items to be packed and go for a methodical system of packing. Special caution must be taken while packing breakable or metallic objects, electronic gadgets, and other valuables. A self-storage unit is no place for storing perishable or hazardous items so never pack them with your other items. Finally, all the personal belongings placed in the self-storage facility must be covered by insurance.

Thus, getting in touch with the right self-storage facility and personally examining its market reputation, besides supervising the whole storage process right from packing to retrieval, will make sure that your valuables are locked away safely for as long as you want. - 20763

What are Data Loggers?

By Adriana Noton

Technological advancements have made collecting and storing data much faster, easier, and more efficient. One such advancement is the use of Data Loggers. A data logger is a device that is used to store data.

These devices read a number of different types of electronic signals to collect the data and then they store the data in internal memory that can be downloaded to a computer when needed. Data loggers are available in a number of different sizes and shapes.

A data logger is used for monitoring and recording information when a person is not in that location. A great advantage of utilizing data loggers is that they can collect data 24 hours a day. When activated, one can leave the data logger unattended to accurately collect information. Information collected can be water depth, movement such as vibrations, temperature, air temperature, humidity, etc.

This can include such functions as: soil moisture level recording, road traffic counting, tank level monitoring, environmental monitoring, wildlife research, gas pressure recording, vehicle testing such as railway signals, weather station recording, monitoring applications, automatic deformation monitoring, hydrographic recording, monitoring shipment temperatures, monitoring shipment package vibrations, deformation monitoring, and energy use monitoring.

Examples of data loggers include: flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, event data recorder, voyage data recorder, vehicle engine control unit monitor, heating and air conditioning temperature recorder, and water depth recorders.

People like these devices because they can work separate from a computer. Depending on your particular needs, the range of a data logger can be either a single channel fixed function loggers or a multi-channel device that manages hundreds of singles.

One can also choose from a small compact data logger or a larger device. The speed and memory also depends on your needs. The more data that you have coming through, the more memory you will need. The length of the recording will depend on the data logger's memory capacity and the desired sample rate.

Data loggers are the most affordable type of data and collecting devices. With the various input signal types available, they are more flexible than other data collecting devices. You can also use a data logger that collects data in real time on a computer. However, a computer for the data collection process is not needed which makes them portable.

Most data loggers have a maximum data rate of 1 or 2 samples per second; however, there are more advanced devices that can sample over 100 samples per second. Most data loggers are battery powered and the life of the battery depends on the sample rate and specific model. They can also be plugged into a power unit. As a general rule, the faster the sample rate the shorter the battery life. Another benefit of having a data logger is that if there is a power failure, the data will not be lost.

The price of data loggers have gone down in recent years. This is due to technological advancements in data collection and storage. One can get a single channel data logger for about $20.00. For those who require a dependable device for collecting data, a Data Logger is an effective solution. - 20763

Texas Electric Deregulation - A Road Map For America

By Jerry Dyess

Monopolies aren't good for customers, just companies. That's true of electric companies, too. With monopolies, customers are simply left to put up with what they've got in front of them, service from one company. This gives companies all the advantage, and none of the difficulty. It also lets them drive prices up such that they can make profits without having to provide significant value to consumers.

Because of this, electric companies have been reined in such that deregulation laws in Texas have been put in place as of 2002. Now, most citizens in Texas can choose the providers they want for their electricity. That gives more competition, which puts customers in control once again. Deregulation means better customer service, a chance to use renewable energy sources instead of the "same old, same old" nonrenewable, bad for the environment sources, and better pricing as well.

That wasn't always the case. Before deregulation was part of the landscape, a single utility provided service to an area and performed all duties, such as transmission, distribution, and sales. Consumers were left "holding the bag," and had to put up with what they got, whether it was truly good value or not. However, deregulation has now changed this, so that one company handles distribution and transmission, but other companies handle billing and sales. Customers now have choice, so that they can choose the providers they want to provide service to them. The Public Utility Commission provides oversight for the entire process, so that pending problems are addressed immediately before they become overwhelming.

Today, about 75% of the citizens in Texas have the ability to choose the power companies they want, and thus to control at least to some extent how much they pay, where they get their power from, and the level of service they receive. This benefits businesses as well as private consumers, and when businesses benefit, that business's customers benefit, too.

Why? Because when businesses can choose their own electric service providers, they get lower utility costs and better service. In turn, they pass those savings and the benefits of that improved service on to customers.

At present, some 25% of Texas' electric consumers still do not have the ability to receive the benefits of competition. That includes those in large cities like Austin and San Antonio, and those that use electric cooperatives.

Even so, electric utility providers are still performing positive changes. Renewable energy sources continue to be experimented with, implemented where possible, and continually developed. For example, wind farms are springing up statewide and are one way of providing completely renewable and clean energy that can be converted for electrical needs.

If you live in Texas and you live in an area where you can choose your provider, the best way to make sure deregulation stays in place is to utilize its benefits. Shop around for the company that's going to suit you and your family. In some cases, like on ChooseEnergy.com, you can actually compare prices in real time between companies, all on the same website. Even if you can't compare prices in real-time from one website, you can certainly shop around online with just a click of the mouse.

Once you've done your research and have chosen an electric provider that will meet your needs, at the best possible price, place an order with the company and they will send you information on what your rights as a customer. You will also get a terms of service agreement from your new provider. There is no need to contact your old provider, because your new provider will handle the change of service and you will simply get a notice that your service has been changed in your mail. Your next meter reading is when the change of service will actually take place.

It should be noted that your new company will not be assuming responsibility for sending you your final bills from the old company, so make sure you address those and get them taken care of. Other than that, though, the change is completely seamless and automatic. You simply choose your new provider, and the wheels are set in motion so that you can enjoy the benefits of going with an electric provider you've chosen. - 20763

5 Hints On Choosing The Best Wedding Rings For The Big Day

By Richard Keys

Wedding rings are one of those items that if you get right, then you really reap the benefits, yet if you get wrong, then you can be in for a world of pain; go and see the man who has just got his fiancee the wrong wedding ring and you can be sure that he will be on his way back to the jewellers to beg for a refund, tail stuck firmly between his legs.



However, as it is so important to get the right one, there is so much pressure to get the best and at times it can be a real nightmare in trying to get the right one for you; to complicate matters further, seeing as everybody has their own individual tastes, you can't even copy someone's who you admire, as it may not suit your own style.

This article is set out to help you choose the right wedding ring and see if your purchase will leave you reaching for the champagne, or reaching for the phone to check your jeweller's policy on refunds!

First of all, wedding rings are symbols of love for your fiancee, therefore the ring has to show what you already know about their personality; if you are aware of a certain love that they have for diamonds, then don't be afraid to bejewel that ring with as many precious stones as you can find, etc., etc.

Secondly, the price has to be right, so tradition dictates that 3 months salary should go on a wedding ring and if your wife knows your salary then you may have a tough time explaining that bargain basement choice!

Thirdly the ring should have something personal about it to make it that little bit more special; many couples opt for an engraving or inscription on the actual ring, as a textual symbol of their love for one another.

Fourthly, wedding rings should stand out from all other pieces of jewellery, so if your fiancee already has a gold band on their finger, then try thinking outside the box and get something that really sticks out.

Finally, a wedding ring is one of the most important elements in your engagement, so if it doesn't feel right in your gut instincts, it probably isn't the right one; don't be afraid of taking a while choosing the right one, just follow your feelings and you will be fine. - 20763

Mind Over Matter - The Facts And Fiction

By Jackie Traveller

It's difficult for some people to believe that they can change their circumstances to whatever they want. If you're like most people, you would believe that your current lot in life is the one you are stuck with. What exactly is meant by 'mind over matter'?

The truth is, everything can be put down to mind over matter. We all have the capacity to master our own mind power. You just need to know how to do it.

Think about your current circumstances. You might be in a job you hate or struggling financially or worried about your relationship, or lack of it. Each of these aspects of your life are there as a result of your own choices. This means your mind created those circumstances for you. It's hard to think about some of the negative things around you right now as being a result of 'mind over matter', but it's true.

Now think about the things in your life you are happy for. You might be proud of your achievements, pleased with your home, happy with your relationship. Each of these circumstances are also a direct result of your mind's power. After all, you made the choices that resulted in these things being in your life.

If you say 'I have my job and I never have enough money', your sub-conscious mind will begin to make sure these things come true for you. Your actions are dictated by your thoughts and your choices are influenced by your beliefs. So if you believe these negative thoughts, they will very quickly become your reality.

A good example would be to use mind over matter techniques by repeating to yourself several times a day something that you may not believe, such as "I love my job, my co-workers, and my boss".

When your sub-conscious is aware of the positive reality you want, your choices will be influenced by more positive actions, which lead naturally to more positive outcomes.

Affirmations are an excellent way to begin the re-programming process. Take a moment to think about your current situation. What thought processes led you to make the choices you did? Did you accidentally sign the papers for so much debt? Did you get into your relationship by accident? Did you accept your current job by accident? Each of these choices was a result of your mind being programmed to believe that was what you needed at that time in your life.

The reason why is because although they may not realize it, they have come to believe those terrible things about themselves, not consciously, but subconsciously. All of these negative beliefs eventually lead to a life full of pain, sorrow, and disbelief.

If only more people knew that their destiny lies in their hands (and minds of course), there would be less sadness and failure.

The mind can do amazing things. You have most likely heard in various places that humans only use ten percent of their brain power - and guess what? That is a documented fact! Here we are with the remaining 90%, just allowing it to go to waste as time passes us by, when we could all be using it to empower our lives and ourselves!

You'll be living a life full of abundance and joy once you've learned to master mind over matter techniques. - 20763

Are RCA Projection Television Really Worth The Price?

By Emad Fuad

When you are looking for an RCA Projection Television, you will need to consider a surprising number of choices. RCA is an outstanding example of the companies that have continued marketing rear projection in addition to front projection televisions. Those who are trying to experience the sight and sound of a cinema in their home are looking towards RCA to make their dreams come true.

The reason most TV owners decide on a projection television rather than an LCD flat screen is that they would like a picture on a large screen that delivers something more than the quality produced by older big screen televisions. When big screen televisions first came out, they had not yet developed the technology which we enjoy today for picture projection. Because of this, it was hard to see the video up close or from various angles of the room. The most recent RCA Projection Television line takes care of those shortcomings. The updated technology now used by RCA enables you to comfortably enjoy the picture up close in addition to from many angles inside the room. What's more, the price tag on the RCA projection televisions is considerably smaller than the regular big screen televisions for the same size model, although the price of LCD televisions has become much less over the last year or more.

A 52 inch screen makes for a good sized television and very effective for normal family rooms. The RCA 52 inch projection CRT TV has been engineered to showcase CRT technology, which has been very very effective for application with rear projection television sets. The CRT option produces a high resolution picture and a wide band video amplifier. For a large screen television, it is surprisingly reasonably priced and is backed by a company you know and trust - RCA.

If 52 inches isn't large enough, you can go to the same RCA projection television which measures 56 inches. The larger television also offers a high definition display and a wide band video amplifier. The CRT technology used in each of these home theater systems makes it possible to broadcast the signal for both sight and sound consecutively, so that you will not experience the audio-video signal disconnection that some people experienced when viewing early models of projection televisions.

RCA is among the few companies who are continuing to develop the high definition technology in rear projection televisions. Despite the commonality of the flat screen LCD televisions, many people would rather purchase the RCA projection television sets because RCA's models produce a better visual experience. The most commonly stated advantage of flat screen televisions is they are slim enough to be suspended from a wall - even though few consumers do this.

RCA projection television sets are currently manufactured in both rear and front projection. They use CRT and DLP technology and can be acquired in sizes from 52 to 72 inches. Consumers who would prefer a big screen television set from a name that they can trust at a low price are selecting an RCA projection television. - 20763

Why You Need Dog Insurance

By Geraldine Dimarco

If you have taken out dog insurance to cover the veterinary costs you may incur for your dog or puppy, then you're in the minority. The majority of pet owners never think about dog insurance - until, that is, they receive a vet bill in the hundreds, or thousands, of dollars. And to think that dog health insurance would have covered those fees!

Have you ever suffered a broken bone yourself? Well, your dog is no less likely to do so. Dog bone fractures occur across the spectrum, as well - a dog that stays indoors is not much less likely to break a bone as a dog that spends all his/her time in the backyard. And broken bones of course also occur elsewhere - when you're out walking, or running, with your dog, or if your dog takes off on a jaunt of his own, as many do if they get half a chance. And broken bones are not cheap. The avery vet bill for a broken leg is almost one thousand dollars.

Dog Health Insurance

Look into the different types of dog insurance plans available. The same as with other types of insurance, dog insurance policies do vary, so it's wise to compare a couple before you buy. All good dog insurance policies should cover the following items:

Spaying/Neutering: Unless you are a serious breeder then it is only ethical that you have your dog spayed or neutered. Your dog health insurance plan may cover up to 100% of the cost. And remember, having your dog fixed helps keep animal population under control and reduces the chances of dogs roaming the streets looking for a mate, often resulting in injuries due to fighting or other accidents.

Prescription Flea Control: Some dogs just don't respond adequately to over-the-counter flea remedies. And fleas must be taken seriously, not only for your dog's comfort, but because they also carry various diseases and encourage other parasites. Dog insurance plans may cover the costs of the more potent prescription flea control products.

Annual Veterinary Examination: This is essential for all dogs, even if you think your dog is in peak health. The annual checkup can identify illness and disease before it progresses into something much worse, so that treatment can start at the earliest opportunity. Many dog insurance policies cover the annual veterinary examination costs.

Heartworm Medication: If you forget your heartworm prevention meds, your dog may contract heartworm. This condition is more prevalent than most people realize. And it's expensive to treat. Your dog health insurance plan is likely to cover this cost also.

Lab Fees: Blood tests and other lab work should also be covered by most dog health insurance plans. Such tests may include blood work for worms, diseases, and abnormalities with pregnancy.

Teeth Cleaning: If your dog suffers periodontal disease, or you are unable to keep his teeth clean by other means, surgical teeth cleaning is often required. And because it's performed under anaesthetic, it's pretty expensive. Good news - your dog insurance should cover this, too.

Hospitalization Costs: Your dog may need to be hospitalized if he becomes ill or if he is injured. We already know that injuries are a considerable expense. And yes, hospitalization is an additional impost. Make sure you pick a dog health policy that covers hospitalization (all the good ones do). - 20763

Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back Fast

By Susan Lowe

I'm truly sorry to hear that you are not together with your boyfriend. I'm sure this is quite difficult, especially since you're here reading this trying to finds ways to get him back. I have experienced my fair share of pain in life and I know that it's very hard to be where you are right now. Have hope in the fact that someday soon you will emerge from whatever sadness you are feeling. In the meantime, your main concern is how to repair this relationship that you believe should not have ended. Here are some standard practices that can help you do that.

Do you know why the relationship ended? I'm not talking about the final fight or conversation that led to the actual breakup. Rather I'm talking about all the back story that led up to it. There's rarely one event that was the cause of the breakup. Patterns and habits, not events, typically cause breakups. So what were the chief patterns and behaviors, on your part or his, that resulted in a failed relationship? See if you can come up with the top three.

The next step is to look hard and honestly into what role you played in contributing to these problems and perhaps what you could have done to prevent them. It's quite natural to want to blame your ex boyfriend. It may very well have been that he wanted to spend more time with his friends, so, it's easy to say that it's his fault that he wants to spend more time with his friends. But it's just as much your fault for not being able to find a way to give him the time he needs with his friends and you the time that you require to be together with him. There's a solution in their somewhere.

After a breakup we are usually very sad, and anxious to get back together with the one we love. This anxiousness often causes us to act too hastily. In our haste, we may end up doing more damage than good and completely ruin our chances of getting our ex back. I know this is hard to do but you need to find a way to be satisfied with the fact that the healing process between you and your boyfriend may need some time. One way to help you cope is to set an exaggerated timeline of when you think you want to get your ex back. Maybe three months or six months is a good exaggerated timeline. If you make yourself believe that you need to get him back in a week or month, you're going to feel too much pressure which may lead you to make some mistakes.

Last, but certainly not least, be confident in yourself and be strong. It is not the end of the world. Our true strength can only be exercised when we are going through the toughest times. Here is your opportunity to demonstrate to yourself and to others that you are a strong person who has it together. This sense of self-confidence and strength will make you feel better about yourself and will make you appear more attractive to others, especially your ex-boyfriend. If there's one thing that will push your boyfriend away from you it's a needy and depressed you. If he gets a chance to see a strong and confident you, that will be extremely attractive to him.

Don't be discouraged if you feel like all this is too much for you. As was mentioned before, you're not working on something that you plan on finishing in a week or two. With a reasonable timeline, a dash of determination, and a healthy dose of self-confidence, you can enjoy a wonderful relationship with a very special man. - 20763

Five Simple Suggestions That Will Help You Sell Your House In A Short Amount Of Time

By Connor Sullivan

It has been an extremely difficult housing market for the last few years with foreclosures taking place in rising numbers. A lot of folks have had no other choice but to put their homes up for sale due to job losses and financial difficulties and they often find that there is just no way they can anticipate a quick sale. Cleveland realtors have found it to be very helpful to advise their clients that anything they can do to make their property more attractive to a potential buyer will often make the difference in whether or not their home will languish on the market. This advice is ridiculously simple but it seems that when it is followed Cleveland real estate (as well as anywhere in the country) sells faster and with fewer conditions in the contract offered by the purchaser of the property. Here are the top five pieces of advice:

1. Clean: Your house should be cleaned until it completely shines so that prospective buyers can see it at its absolute best. We all enjoy walking into our own home and find pleasure in finding it really tidy and clean. A person who is considering the purchase of your home will imagine that he or she will be able to keep it in this pristine condition also and will get the idea that you have taken really good care of the home while it has been in your possession.

2. Do away with clutter: This will make your home not only look more appealing but it will add the illusion of more space to virtually every room. We all get used to having our comfortable throws on the couch, favorite magazines next to our chair and kitchen appliances cluttering our shelves but make an effort to store then where they belong after using them and see for yourself how tidy and spacious your house will look. It will help that prospective buyer look at the qualities of the house and not get lost in all of the accessories that are littering the view.

3. Put away personal items: It has been pointed out that it is difficult for another person to envision themselves living in a home when there are too many personal items of the current owner on display. This is particularly true of framed pictures and snapshots of your family members. It will not hurt anything to pack them away and get them out again when you take possession of the new home you are moving into.

4. Neutral wall colors: It is recommended that a seller should use neutral wall colors for the most part to appeal to more buyers. That bright red that you think is a wonderful color for the dining room can be a real turn-off to someone who does not want to take the time to repaint it when they move in. It also makes it easier for a person to visualize their own furniture in a room when there are no vivid colors demanding their attention.

5. Pay attention to curb appeal: Spruce up the landscaping by trimming all front bushes and trees so that the view from the street is one that indicates the home is well tended and cared for. - 20763
