Aryan Nations to be Deported by Germany!

Monday, June 9th, 2008

By David Ben-Ariel The Aryan Nations again misses a God-given opportunity to repent of their blind hatred of our Jewish brethren and prefer to believe the idolatrous ideas of deceived and deceiving men over the Word of God. The Word of God clearly states that legitimate Jews would again be living in and exercising sovereignty over Jerusalem and the Promised Land of Israel (not Ishmael!). The professing Aryan Nations presently refuse to submit to this scriptural fact of why the Jews are Judah and are distracted by murderous slander against the Khazars, basically calling God a liar and unfaithful to His Promises, adding to their sins that stink to High Heaven and will soon be dealt with, as they’re defeated and deported alongside every other American, British and Jewish person by the fascist EU. What a twist of fate that the Aryan Nations’ German savior will become their destroyer! The Anglo-Saxons and Jews will also get stomped by the German-EU jackboot for increasingly looking to the Beast like silly doves (about to get devoured) instead of to God to help solve our national problems. The so-called Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation will be baptized in the blood of many Englishmen, Joes and Jews! Beyond Babylon: Europe’s Rise and Fall sounds the alarm but our people are too deaf, dumb and blind to recognize the seriousness of the times we live (and many shall die) in: ignorant and indifferent about German plans for WWIII! The misguided Aryan Nations have foolishly despised the ancient homeland and inheritance of all Twelve Tribes of Israel, the Promised Land of Israel, presently the Jewish Homeland (as the Jews are the pioneer tribe that God has sent to prepare the way for the rest of us to ultimately follow). The Aryan Nations have cut themselves off from our Hebrew roots in Eretz Yisrael, and so detached themselves from its physical and spiritually reality (like liberal Jews ironically!), far removed from Jerusalem, in exile in mind and in spirit, woefully ignorant of the fact that whereas the North American continent is most certainly a prophesied part of our biblical inheritance as clearly brought out in Herbert W. Armstrong’s excellent book The United States and Britain in Prophecy, the tribal possession of Joseph, our original homeland deserves special honor and recognition as soon Jerusalem will again be restored as the capitol of all Twelve Tribes under King Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, the Anointed One Yeshua (Jesus), when Joseph and Judah end their sibling rivalry, repent of our personal and national sins and family feud, and remember the Law and the Covenant of our God that binds us together to become One Nation Under God, a truly United Kingdom! For Joseph and Judah,

A Superb Essay in Just One Week

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

By Amber C. Smith Okay, you really shouldn’t be putting off your essay until the week before its due when you’re applying for graduate school, but I know some of you have. So, here’s your one week guide to writing a superb essay that will keep the admissions officers interested and excited about you. Oh, and by one week, I mean five days, because that’s about how most of my students would function. Monday: Read the Question and Outline I know it sounds simple, but read the question. You’ll probably want to read it at least three times. The most common problem with graduate school admissions essays is that they just don’t answer the question asked. They go off on some tangent instead of getting straight to the point. After reading the question, create an outline that covers some of the main points and specifics you plan to use in your essay. Oh, and talk to someone today who can proofread your paper on Friday - an old teacher or a friend who understands spelling and grammar would be perfect. Tuesday: Begin the Paper Today, you want to begin your paper. Write the entire thing as best you can. Make sure you use specific examples to back up your points. People would always rather read a story than a list of boring facts about your academic achievements. Also, make sure that you are sticking with your outline or an equally good outline. Wednesday: Polish Your Paper and Let Others Read It This morning, you’ll want to go ahead and polish your paper. Make the necessary changes to make it better. After creating the best essay you can, let a few other people read it. These people should be objective and understand the qualities of good writing, or at least of interesting writing. Ask them to please give you feedback even if it might hurt your feelings. Thursday: Revise Today, you want to revise based on their comments. The comments are only helpful if you actually use them to make your paper better. Revise and polish until you have the best paper you can write. If possible, let at least one of those people read it again and get their feedback. Friday: Proofread and Make Final Changes Finally, you want to get someone to proofread your paper this morning. Make sure they are actually good at spelling and grammar before you ask for this favor. After they finish looking at your paper, read over it and make the final changes. Now you’re ready to send in your paper - after just one week. Let me say one thing before I let you leave. This is not the ideal way to write such an important paper. You should really spend several weeks on it instead of just a few days. But, in a pinch, this one week schedule will help you finish a standout essay just in time.

How To Make Hooking Up With Your “Ex” More Thrilling Than It Ever Was Before!

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

By Craig Garber Now I really have seen everything. The other day, I saw a television show with a very curious premise: They found a good-old Southern boy who was such a charmer, 6 of his ex-girlfriends (some, who had been flat-out “dumped” by him) were willing to line themselves up in front of a camera for 120 minutes, and go through various and sundry interviews, to see whether or not they could pass muster with him, the second time around. The one’s who got dumped (again) were heart-broken and their eyes swelled with tears. And the winner? You’d think she was happy, but she was bawling her eyes out too. So, what’s all this
got to do with you making money? Well, what about all your “ex’s”? Your “ex-customers” that is. You know, people you’ve sold something to, but you haven’t kept up a relationship with? In my article “The Most Profitable Product In The World You Can Ever Sell”, I talked about the different additional (and insanely huge and cash-generating) information products you could offer to your customers, either as part of their initial purchase, or on the “back-end”, after their first sale has been made. And it got me thinking: I just finished working with a client who has 2,000 people on his list (and at least he’s smart enough to capture his customer’s information — many business owners aren’t). He’s been in business for 3 years at this particular location and guess what? After each one of these 2,000 customers came into his store… They Never Heard From Him Again! Yep, he’s never sent them anything! Then this morning, I got off the phone with a prospect looking to hire me to write some copy. I asked him how many of his business opportunity products he’s already sold. His answer: “A little over 2,000.” While about 7 or 8 different thoughts were racing through the back of my mind, about all the back-end products he should be offering to these 2,000 people on a regular basis, I asked him if he’s stayed in touch with any of them. His answer: “No. But I guess I should have, right?” Come here and listen very closely to what I am about to say: NOT staying in touch with your existing customers is… A Cardinal Sin! Do you know how much easier it is to sell something to someone who’s already lined your pockets with cash, then it is to try and get someone to give you money the first time? And without staying in touch with your clients regularly, do you know what happens? Well, like most things you’re not thinking about regularly, you become “yesterday’s news” to them. And this is… Not Good! Now maybe you feel “awkward” about contacting someone just to try and sell them something, when you haven’t spoken to them in a while. (And you should.) So what I’m going to do right now, is show you a simple and easy way to get back in touch with your “ex” clients and customers, so you’re not seeming to be “pushy”… “offensive”… or more to the point: Using Them Just To Get Money! Anyhow, without further adieu, here’s the letter I’d send them: Wednesday, 11:18 a.m.
Plantation, Florida Dear Gil, A few days ago I was rummaging through some papers scattered across the top of my desk, when suddenly I stopped-dead-in-my-tracks, right where I was. A thought came to me: I haven’t heard from you in a dog’s age. So I called out to my overworked assistant Stella and I said “Hey Stella! What the heck ever happened to Gil Stevens? As far as I know Gil, you’re still alive and kicking. But because I hadn’t heard from you in a while, I was wondering, “What’s going on with Gil?” The answer’s important, because right now, I’m giving you a FREE “Daily Newspaper Retriever” that’ll bring your paper in from outside your house, every morning like clockwork, as part of a limited-offer I’ve got going on. What’s this all about? Here’s the deal: blah-blah-blah, yakety-yakety-yakety… Then you go on and talk about what you’re selling and give old Gil more benefits and reasons to buy from you than he would’ve ever thought existed, in his wildest imagination. And just in case you’re confused, the FREE “Daily Newspaper Retriever” is just something I made up to give you as an example. In your letter, obviously you put in whatever you want. You see, the thing is, if Gil had been hearing from you consistently, since the day he first became familiar with you, this wouldn’t have been so difficult. That’s why you must stay in front of your customers and prospects at least every month, more if it’s appropriate. Anyway, the point is… if some sleazy man-bait on TV can get his ex-girlfriends to come crawling around him like wolves circling a wounded deer in the forest, an upstanding ethical business-owner like yourself shouldn’t have any problem doing the same thing with your existing customers. Provided… You’ve done an outstanding job of making them happy the first time around… You’ve been staying in front of your existing customers on a regular basis, giving them good solid quality information and enriching their lives whenever you can… and… You’ve actually got something to offer them, that’s worthwhile in the first place. P.S. If you’re doing these things, you’ve got the makings of a sure-fire winner on your hands… each-and-every time, and back-end sales won’t ever be a problem for you.

How to Get Inside Your Customers’ Head and Maximise Your Advertising Results

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

By Scott Bywater Recently, I was writing an ad targeted towards health food shop owners for a wholesale health product. And you know what was easy about writing that ad? I knew my prospect. Given that my parents used to own a health food shop in Coffs Harbour when I was growing up, all I needed to imagine was that I was selling directly to my father. I’d say this He’d say that I’d say this He’d say that I’d say this He’d say that And so on. You see, the number one secret to writing good copy is being able to picture exactly who you’re selling to… and understanding exactly who your customer is. In fact, in my experience it’s even more important to understand your customer than it is to understand your product. So find out exactly who you’re demographic is. What their fears are? What keeps them up at night? What gets their heart pumping? What makes them angry? What keeps them getting up every day? And if you can crystallise that exact person in your mind and imagine you are selling to them in a one on one sales situation you’ll make your sales letter that much more authentic. It won’t be ridiculous hype, and rah-rah-rah that doesn’t connect with your target audience. Nor will it be boring to THEM because you know exactly what their desires, fears and goals are? Makes sense, doesn’t it? But what if you cannot picture the exact person you want to sell to? What if you’ve never known a person like your target market? And you don’t know them from a bar of soap? Now if you’re a business owner writing to existing and prospective clients similar to those you already have then you won’t find this difficult at all. After all, you simply need to pick one of your typical customers and write directly to them. Even tape record one of your best salesperson’s conversations, and use that in your sales copy. Remember: Copywriting is salesmanship in print. However you may also want to go back to your customers and ask them why they bought in the first place. Why did they choose your business? Why do they choose to come back to your restaurant, for example? Or your tyre shop? What were their concerns before purchasing? Go back to them and ask them. And also use your intuitive knowledge from your time within your specific industry. And what if you’ve never dealt with anybody within that particular industry before? What do you do then? For example, what if you’ve just released a new program for arthritis sufferers? What do you do then? My recommendation is that you start to talk with arthritis sufferers. If you’ve taken over a new business or are writing copy for an existing business, then call up the testimonials they already have in place and start talking to them individually. And if you deal with the general consumer marketplace, here’s another tip which I used once. In coming up with a guarantee for a termite control customer I called dozens of households throughout Sydney sporadically. That’s right. Just dialled a number out of the phone book and asked them what their biggest fears would be if they were going to engage a pest controller. And you know what the answer was? Well, I am bound by confidentiality on that one I am afraid, but let me tell you now that it was featured quite prominently in any advertisements I wrote for that client. The secret is to get inside their heads, and then when it’s time to begin writing copy write directly to them as an individual. Address every one of their objections. Hit the most important points upfront. Make a powerful promise. Paint a picture of what their life could be like with your product or service. Back everything up with proof. And prove why your product or service is their ONLY solution. There is nothing more important in advertising than KNOWING YOUR CUSTOMER. It is the key to absolutely everything. And the secret to your success is to write to one person at a time. Do not try to sell to a group of people, because at any one time, you will always be communicating directly with an individual - NOT a group. Know what I mean? Because if you do, you’ll begin to write much better copy. That’s all for now. Scott Bywater is a professional direct response copywriter and the author of Cash-Flow Advertising.

4 Key Marketing Do’s and Don’ts

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

By Jim Stewart Want to increase Sales? Then here are 4 Key Marketing Dos and Donts … Not happy with your Marketing Plans? Spending a lot and getting little in return? Well, first off youre not alone. Many of the company owners I talk to express frustration with Marketing. They feel its a waste of money echoing the famous quote I know that 50% of the money I spend on Marketing is wasted and if I knew which 50%, Id cut it out. Here are 4 things you can do to cut the waste and get better results. First, dont confuse Marketing and Selling. Selling is, in fact, only a method of promoting your products and services. Sales people have to be told which products to sell, how the products will benefit their prospects and customers and how much to sell the products for. (Have you ever tried letting sales people set selling prices? Its one of the faster ways to go out of business.) Marketing is deciding which products your customers will want and how much they will pay for them and then launching your products on time. Sales people have to be given qualified leads - theyre too costly to use for generating and qualifying their own leads - so its more cost effective to use the promotional techniques to do that. Marketing is figuring out which combination of the promotional techniques is needed to produce enough leads for the Company to achieve its sales targets. Second, dont confuse Marketing with Promotion. Using advertising (print, radio, T.V., billboards etc.), public relations, direct mail, web sites, email, or telemarketing are ways of promoting your business. Promotion is only one of 4 Marketing tools, and, before we leave it behind for a moment, here are a couple of donts regarding promotion. Dont: o Expect an advertisement to bring you results the first (or even the second or third) time you use it. Consistency of use is one of requirements for advertising to work. o Be surprised if the response to your direct mail (or email) campaigns is low. A 2 or 3% response rate may be all that you should be expecting. o Look for a flood of visitors to come to your web site and buy your products unless you spend time and money optimizing your site for search engines. o Forget that youll get better results by using several of the promotional techniques in an integrated campaign, for example follow up a direct mail or email piece with telemarketing. Third, remember that you have 4 Marketing tools at your disposal. Weve talked about 3 of them already product, price and promotion. The fourth is your distribution channels how you get your products to the end user. A couple of points to remember: o Products have a life. Some will remain in demand longer than others but none go on forever (notice how hybrid engines are beginning to appear in cars and trucks, slowly replacing the gasoline engine which has been around forever). Develop and launch new products before your competitors do. o Price follow either a high quality/high price or low quality/low price strategy. Dont get trapped in the middle (its slower than letting sales people set prices but youll still go out of business). o Promotion budget to spend a percentage of your sales on promotion at the beginning of each year. Keep your promotional program going all year dont wait until your reps. get short of leads or sales fall off. o Place/Distribution Channels should be changed either at different points in a products life (how easy is it, these days, to find a small, independent retail store selling only computer hardware) or in the face of new technology (you can buy many of the same products from a Future Shop store or from their web site). The 4 Marketing tools are like the promotional techniques in one way you get the best results if you figure out the combination of all 4 that gets the best reaction from your market. Four, check regularly that you are still focused only on that part of the total market that needs your products and can pay for them. Focus your resources on a well defined group of people or companies who share similar characteristics including a need for your products. Its likely to be much more profitable than chasing everyone who might, one day, have a need for your services. You can perform a reality check by thinking about what your best customer looks like. Make sure that you are only dealing with (and looking for) more people or companies like them. But remember, there needs to be enough of them, each generating enough demand, to allow you to make a profit. If youre doing all 4 of the things weve talked about you have an effective Marketing Strategy. Clearly identifying a target market and then applying the most effective combination or mix of the 4 marketing tools to it are the 2 ingredients for developing a great marketing strategy. To make it come to life because after all its all about execution insist your marketing team (in-house or outsourced) expresses all of the things that they have to do to execute the product, price and channel management strategies and their promotional program as SMART goals. Not sure what a SMART goal is? Send me an email at jimstewart@profitpath.ca or call me at 416-258-9610 and Ill be happy to tell you. To share your experiences, to take issue with anything Ive said or to get some insight in how to execute, contact me in the same way.

Building Your Business On The Golf Course-Part 3

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

By Dan Boever In part three of Building Your Business On The Golf Course we will look at ways to really enhance your time together. 1) Study before the test. Here it really helps to gather as much information as possible about your playing partners. We want to always meet people on their level. Just as no two swings are alike, the same can be said for customers and prospects. Knowing a little about your guests personality will really help you on the course. There are many subtle things to look for as you get into your day. I want to see how serious they are because that will tell me what game we will play on the course and how lenient I can be with the rules. It may be as simple as how long a putt I will give them. Hey, if you pick up a three inch gimme putt with the wrong person you may find out in a hurry about the history and tradition of Bobby Jones and the sanctity of the rules of golf. The worst thing you can do is swat a short putt back to a person who putts them all out! Can I hit two off the first tee? Are we going to play the ball down? What about that ball your friend just hit OB with a white stake. Is that stroke and distance or is it one stroke penalty? Those of us who play know it is a two stroke penalty but your guest may not want you to be the scorecard policeman. There is a fine line here that you must be able to spot. The idea is to have a fun day and grow your business. The real score you should be looking at does not get counted at the end of 18 holes. Does this mean I advocate cheating or looking the other way? Absolutely not! Unless there is money riding on the game I will tend to let it go. It just isnt that big a deal to me if a guy shoots and 87 instead of the 90 he really should have had. My point is this. You really need to be a good judge of people here and you want things to flow. Pick a set of tees that will be fun. Play the ball up if they want to. My experience during hundreds of pro-ams and business rounds of golf says people want to relax and have fun. It is for them and about them, do not forget it. 2) Do you want some action? That is what you will here on any given day on every course in America. What does that mean? It means dont be afraid to wager on your match. You mean bet? Gamble? Yup! I have yet to see the person that would be financially hurt with a two dollar bet. If you are dead against it for spiritual reasons or your spouse might smack you then you may want to skip this paragraph. Maybe you can play for a coke or lunch or a snickers bar. Whatever the wager just make sure it is something everyone is comfortable with. This is a wonderful opportunity to team up with your customer and go into battle. I have seen many a Wall Street millionaire shake in his boots over a five dollar putt. Common sense here says make sure and handicap the game so that it is fun and fair for all involved. Competitive people want to compete. Here is a wonderful way to really have some laughs and make some memories. Make it fun, make it fair and make sure here you count all your strokes 3) Save the tips. I dont mean for the cart person and I dont mean for the young man or woman who cleans your clubs after the round. I mean your golf tips on the course. Unsolicited advice on the course can be a deal breaker after the round. Even when someone asks you for advice you better make sure and use restraint. Bite your tongue and keep your golf tips for your spouse. So in review:
Know how serious your guests are and play accordingly
Dont be afraid to make a wager
Keep your golf tips to yourself Playing good customer golf is an art. It is something that takes years to learn and is well worth the effort.

The History of Buffalo Nickel

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

By Keith Scott The buffalo nickel (also known as the Indian head nickel) was produced from 1913 through 1938 and was designed by James Earle Fraser. It is actually a bison, not a buffalo, on the reverse but more on that later. Early in 1911, Treasury Secretary Franklin MacVeaghs son wrote to him suggesting that there be a new design on the five-cent piece. The son had read the law which stipulated a coin design could not be changed more often than every 25 years. The 25 year waiting period for the Liberty nickel has passed back in February of 1908. MacVeagh had assumed office under President William Howard Taft in March 1909, and missed all the excitement when President Theodore Roosevelt managed to get several top artists to redesign the cent and gold coins. Fraser’s artistic ability earned the undying respect of a dying Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who recommended Fraser to President Theodore Roosevelt to sculpture the official presidential bust. Roosevelt and Fraser quickly became friends. Despite the fact that William Howard Taft was president in 1912, Roosevelt recommended that Fraser be chosen to design the copper-nickel 5-cent coin. It is interesting to note that the Philadelphia mint was kept in the dark for quite some time during the initial design change discussions. Though not proven, it is widely speculated that this was done because of previous issues with Charles E. Barber over the double eagle design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1908. Barber was still the chief engraver and believed that he should have all authority of engraving and coin design and since he designed the nickel that was still in production, he was probably not in any big hurry to change it. The obverse design for the Indian Head 5-cent coin, commonly called a “Buffalo nickel,” depicts a large, powerful portrait of an Indian, facing right. The appearance is rough looking, unlike the smooth cheeks and other facial features that typify the many versions of Lady Liberty that have been on U.S Coins. The portrait is believed to be a composite of three Indian chiefs, although the identities of the models have been disputed. A few Native Americans laid claim to be the model for the coin. The artist himself identified two of the models as Chief Iron Tail, a Sioux and Chief Two Moons, a Cheyenne. Unfortunately, Fraser had trouble remembering the names of his models. He had been asked the question so many times, that it was evident he was growing tired of the whole issue rather than set the record straight. In an undated letter to Mint Director George E. Roberts believed to be from 1913, suggests that Fraser considered the Indian design represented a type, rather than a direct portrait. He said he could recall Two Moons and Iron Tail as having served as his inspiration and possibly one or two others. In alter years he dropped the number of possible other models to one. The one Indian originally believed to be the third model was Chief Two Guns White Calf, a Blackfoot. His claim lost a great deal of validity when in 1931, Fraser denied having used him as a model. In a letter dated June 10, 1931, from Fraser to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs of the U.S. Department of Interior, and later released to the press on July 12, 1931, Fraser is quoted as saying: The Indian head on the Buffalo nickel is not a direct portrait of any particular Indian, but was made from several portrait busts which I did not Indians. As a matter of fact, I used three different Indian heads; I remember two of the men. One was Irontail, the best Indian head I can remember; the other one was Two Moons, and the third I cannot recall. I have never seen Two Guns Whitecalf nor used him in any way, although he has a magnificent head. I can easily understand how he was mistaken in thinking that he posed for me. A great many artists have modeled and drawn him, and it was only natural for him to believe that one of them was the designer of the nickel. I am particularly interested in Indian affairs, having as a boy lived in South Dakota before the Indians were so carefully guarded in their agencies. Later, the Crow Creek agency was formed at Chamberlain, but I always feel that I have seen the Indian in this natural habitat, with the finest costumes being worn. I hope their affairs are progressing favorably. Through the years the search for the third model continued although many still believe it was Two Guns. Another Indian, Chief John Big Tree claimed he was the third model. There are many inconsistencies in his story/claim as well. Chief John Big Tree was also an actor. While we may never know for sure the identity of the third person, we do know a little about the model on the reverse The American bison serves as the reverse of the coin. Yes, it is a bison on the nickel, not a buffalo. Technically, buffaloes are found mostly in India and Africa, not in the United States. When the first settlers came to America and happened upon the Bison - they did not know what they were. The only animals they could relate them to were the Asian Water Buffalo. They started calling them buffalo for lack of a correct name, and the name stuck for many, many years. So, the American Buffalo is not a true buffalo. Its closest relative is the European Bison or Wisent and the Canadian Woods Bison, not the buffalo of Asia or Africa, such as the Cape Buffalo or Water Buffalo. Scientifically, the American Buffalo is named Bison and belongs to Bovidae family of mammals, as do domestic cattle. Because our history has so ingrained in us the name “Buffalo”, we still use it, although “Bison” and “Buffalo” are used interchangeably. As just stated, our American Bison and the Water Buffalos are not even related. (There are actually two types of Bison as well. The Plains Bison and the Woods Bison - one being smaller and darker than the other and having populated different regions of the US in the early years) However, since so many people are familiar with their own learned definition of a “buffalo” you’ll find we still sometimes use that term when referring to a bison. As such, the term buffalo will be used when referring to the reverse of the coin. Anyway. To Be Continued!!!

10 Tips For Posting Online Personal Profile Photos

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

By Chet Rowland You join a dating personals site because you want to meet a woman, so first impressions mean everything. The photos you post can have a major impact on the type of women you attract. Here are ten tips for posting photos on you online personal profile: 1. Use current photos this sounds like a no-brainer, but many people are guilty of posting photos from many years ago or even photos from a few months ago when they were many pounds lighter. You want to represent who you are and this means current photos. 2. Do not use glamour shots Many women are guilty of this, but surprisingly there are also many men who make this mistake. Glamour shots do not represent who you are every day. They are made up photos that are usually deceiving. 3. Quality over quantity Dont post a ton of bad photos just to add bulk. It is better to have a few good photos than a bunch of bad ones. Be sure the photos are clear and close up. Pictures taken from 20 feet or more away could be of anyone. They are too far away to be able to see what a person really looks like. Good lighting really makes a difference. 4. Smile for the camera So many people post photos of themselves without a smile. This makes people wonder if you have something to hide or if you are not a happy person. If you do not like your smile, try some teeth whiteners. They are inexpensive and really make a difference. 5. Dont use pictures with large groups of people When you put too many people in the photo it is difficult to figure out which one is you. You also dont want the person looking at the photo to desire someone else in the photo rather than you. You want to keep the focus on you. 6. No vulgarity Sometimes you may have some funny pictures, but they dont make the best first impression. What may seem humorous to you may offend others. Despite what your ego might tell you, women do not want to see naked body parts. 7. Primary photo should be your best The primary photo on your profile should be a good close-up of you by yourself. This is the most important photo you will post since it the one people will base their first impression on. 8. Dress the part This is not the time to wear your favorite T-shirt and sweats. Put on clothing that flatters. 9. Show what you tell Whatever you have described in your profile should be reflected in your photos. If you say you are an avid mountain climber, include photos of you in action. This adds credibility to what you say. 10. No photos with women Unless you have a photo of you with your mom, dont include photos of you with other women, even if it is your sister. Women will assume it is an ex-girlfriend and it is a big turn-off. The photos you post are important to your success with online dating sites. The worst thing you can do is not post a photo at all. Most women wont even look at profiles if they do not include a photo. Make it a habit to carry a camera everywhere you go and get someone to take pictures of you doing the things you enjoy.

Wedding Music, Not Just Music, It Is Music! Music! Music!

Monday, March 10th, 2008

By Carmel Baird It is party time, party music, well, not just yet. Your wedding music takes on several styles of music. There is the music for the ceremony, then the music for the more formal part of the wedding reception and then the party time of the reception. In the majority of countries this seems to be how the wedding music is selected, by these three areas, The ceremony, the formal part of the wedding reception and the party-time of the wedding reception. For the wedding ceremony, it is best to check with the church co-ordinator, Priest, Minister, Pastor or Marriage Celebrant and get the guideline as to what is acceptable. Often times they can supply a choir or singer and organist/pianist or will allow you to have your own. There is an order of placement for music in the ceremony and the type of music that is suitable. A song that is special to the bridal couple will always be able to be included somewhere in the ceremony. Ask for the ceremony guidelines from the church co-ordinator and if they have a selection of songs or hymns that you can choose from. For the early part of the reception, the music will need to be background type music, soft, that will not interfere with introductions and conversations. This style of music should continue through out the wedding feast and between toasts and speeches. Depending on the theme of the wedding, a string quartet is ideal for this or a pianist playing soft dinner music. You can also choose to have taped music too. After the formalities comes the party time and here to get everyone up and dancing, you may wish to hire a live band or DJ. With weddings, normally the age group of the guests is wide, so the variety of music needs to be wide too. By including several music styles in the program, your guests will really get into the swing of things and set the party mood. Check with the band or DJ before booking them as to how much variety they can play. Give them a list of the type of music you would like played and make sure they can accommodate your wishes. If certain music or songs are suggested to you and you are not sure, take yourself along to a music store, pop on the headphones and have a listen. Some of the music styles are pop, rock, classical, jazz, blues, dance, disco, the list is long but not all music styles will be suitable to be your wedding. Your music should appeal to your guests, it should be in the background when conversations are happening and then get the toes tapping when you want your guests to be up and lively on the dance floor. If you choose to have a wedding DJ at your wedding reception, then make sure he/she can supply the music styles your want, pre-dinner, dinner and dance, so you would be able to help your wedding budget by only hiring the one source of wedding music. A DJ can also act as an MC for you and this will keep things flowing and remember to include your favorite song or songs. If your choice is a live band then as with the DJ, make sure they can accommodate your chosen music styles. A good idea is to choose a band with a pianist or keyboard player and a singer who can help out with the announcements and step into the role of MC. By choosing a live band with a keyboard/piano player, this will cover the soft style of music during the earlier part of the reception. There are live bands who specialize in providing music for wedding receptions and wedding parties, the same goes for DJs, you will be able to find a specialist wedding DJ, look for both under the wedding category in your local yellow pages. If you have a Bridal Expo or Wedding Expo in or near your area, make sure you get along to them, this is where you will find so many contacts to help with planning your very special day. Choosing your wedding entertainment can be a fun time of your wedding planning, try not to do it all at once, your head can get into a spin with information overload, so spread it out and enjoy the music.

The Most Important Commitment You Can Make

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

By Nan S. Russell Commitments. Commitments. Commitments. They fill our days, our heads and our lives. Most of us are in the commitment business. Of course, that’s not what we call it. At work, we’re making commitments to customers, suppliers, bosses, coworkers and staff. At home, we’re making commitments to family, friends, neighbors, community and organizations. Not to mention commitments to pay taxes, credit card bills, mortgages and car loans. Commitments become our drivers. Like the proverbial hamster wheel, we can’t stop the stress, or the time demands we obligate ourselves to, because of commitments. We work so we can meet our professional, personal and financial ones. We work so we can do the others things in our lives we want to do. We work to get the good review, the promotion, the raise or the new job so we can get the house or the car or the next big thing. As tapestries of commitments seemingly blanket us, we may feel we “have” to do something, when in fact we have a choice, even if it’s one with consequences. We may think we can’t let someone else down, when in fact we can say no. We may even believe we work for other people, when in fact we work for ourselves. When we “get” that we work for ourselves, we become the drivers, not the passengers, of our commitments. Only then does our commitment orientation change. We discover it’s easier to say no and more gratifying to have choices. You see, with all the commitments we make, most of us miss the most important one there is … the one we make to self. However, people who are winning at working make that commitment. Not in a selfish egocentric way, but as the author of their own life. They commit to use their unique gifts and offer the best of who they are to the world. They commit to their dreams. And they commit to becoming who they are capable of becoming. Often their work is a path to do that. After twenty years in management, I found clear differences in people who made the commitment to self-actualization and people who didn’t. Self-committed people are building their skills, working on personal growth, acting like owners and offering their talents without being asked. While others watch from the sidelines, these people are solving problems, resolving conflicts and assisting others. They give. They take action. They make things happen. They’re energized, enthusiastic and passionate about work. You see, when you understand you’re working for yourself, that’s what happens. Making a self-commitment to become your best you, doesn’t reduce your commitments or your work, but it does alters them. When you commit to bringing yourself to your work, in the deepest sense of that concept, something happens. That something fuels your passion and ignites your spirit. If you want to be winning at working, make the most important commitment you can make. That commitment is all about you. (c) 2006 Nan S. Russell. All rights reserved.
