Towards A Healthy Economy + Marketing World

The George W. Bush Regime is on its way to spread American Imperialism across the globe.

In his task, he has slaughtered over 100 000 Iraqi citizens including men, women and children.

In his eyes, only christians go to heaven. Much like Hitler believed Jews don’t go to heaven so are worth killing

Ego maniacs are more dangerous than the men who flew the planes into the twin towers.

George Bush has a goal, destroy the foundation of the muslim world and convert Muslims into Christians, Those who refuse, are ordered to die or be tortured

Like Hitler, George Bush is hell bent on taking over the world. He will imprison the Iraq resistance and torture and kill them, much like Hitler.
The oil is their true salvation and the Iraqi who dies trying to stop them from stealing the oil are heros

What great American out there, will stop this fascist agenda. Who will stop George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and Paul Wolfowitz.

There must be an American who sees the similarities to Hitler and George W. Bush. Hitler may have died, but George Bush learned a lot from him. My guess is he is taking up where Hitler left off

What patriotic American will stop this maddness, this Hitler revived through George W. Bush

The World needs American Citizens to rise up and revolt agaist this fascist dangerous dream that is killing men, women and children

Please America, together as one united force, you can bring down Bush and his SS.
It is up to you. A civil war if needed. The citizens of the world will support you. Take action. Take back your freedom and democracy, The world is counting on you and praying for you

Do it for yourselves, your children and God.

Oh yeah, I mean something peaceful like a war crimes trial, NOT violence. There is too much violence in the world

The last step in your makeup regime is lipstick application. Some women say if they could have only one beauty item it would be lipstick. Lip color brings the whole look together to create harmony. To keep your lips looking perfect, have lip color with you at all times and reapply when needed.

When you select a lip color take in consideration your clothing and blush colors. The color of your clothing and blush should complement your lipstick but doesn’t have to be perfectly matched. However, the colors should be in the same intensity and range. Wear cool colors together and warm colors together. Pink lipsticks go with blue and pink colors and corals and russets go with clothing that falls in a yellow/orange range.

Steps to apply lip color:

1. Prepare your lips by applying foundation over them (this will extend the wear).

2. Outline and define the shape using a lip pencil that has soft, pointed top. Start at the V in your upper lip drawing down to the corners. Then, starting at the middle of the bottom lip draw a line to the corners. To help lipstick stay on longer, use your pencil to cover the lips entirely.

3. Fill in upper lip with lipstick or you can use a lip brush.

4. Fill in the lower lip and then blot with a tissue and reapply.

5. Dab gloss in the centre of your lower lip to create a fuller more glamorous look.

When defining the lips with a lip pencil be sure the pencil and lipstick colors are very close. The lip liner should not be noticeable. Lip liners are meant to keep your lipstick in place, keep lipstick from bleeding, define the shape and help them look more natural. Do not try to change the shape of your lips by going outside the natural line.

* Dark lipsticks will make small lips appear smaller.

Casual billiards players often voice the opinion they are doing something wrong because playing once a week hasn’t gotten them a consistently good game.

Yes, they get spurts of gold, a few 3-4-5 ball runs, and yes they somehow get into position for a second shot, but they aren’t advancing on their own personal “King-of-the-Hill” the way they would like and seriously are expecting.

Too many of us get locked into the routine of working a 40–hour week and stopping by the old 8-Spot for a night out with the boys which includes about 4 hours of pool. The nights we lose, we tend to slough off as well at least I got in some good practice. Nope.

Chances are you were playing on a coin op bar box with a group of five-six players so your table time was actually less than half the time you were at the 8-Spot. Then take into account the number of games you sit out because you lost.

Your summary of the night: I find the lack of table time and the lack of just practicing affects my game to where my stroke is not consistent and my position player is off. Am I expecting too much of myself without really getting down and practicing? I think that I should be able to play and remember things that I have achieved before, am I wrong?
Oh, if only it were that easy, we’d all be slotted for the IPT million dollar tournaments.

When you move from the billiards practice table to the real thing, you need to keep a couple of things in mind.
In your practice session you are in learning mode. When you head to the poolroom for a game, league play, or a tournament, your mode must shift to one of competition.

Practice is really nothing more than a systematic form of training coupled with repetition. Bear in mind that your practice not only enables you to become a better player, but you can’t help but become a better person.
Consistent practice should be a growth issue. You are constantly stretching your performance to constantly heighten your ability.

During your practice sessions, pay close attention to yourself. You must know who you are training and what you are trying to learn. You need to find your weaknesses and maximize your strengths.
Practice is a very personal thing, depending on your lifestyle. If you are working 40 hours a day, maintaining a family and playing billiards matches 2-3 times a week, your practice time is most likely where the pinch will occur.

To be meaningful, you must make the most of every session you get. Whether you have the freedom to practice 3 hours a day, seven days a week, or whether you can barely squeak in 3 hours a week, it must be priority time. Your use of this time is your personal choice. You are working on eliminating your weaknesses so you need to develop a plan that will increase your strengths.

One more thing, make your practice effective by making it progressive. To maintain your interest in weekly practice, it must be challenging. Each drill you adopt needs to grow harder as you improve. When you can consistently run 4-5 balls, up the ante to 10. When you are very effective at half-table cut shots, move on to 3/4 table spot shots.
Only as your drills grow in difficulty, will you begin to master the easy ones.

=============================================================

As with all of my articles this will be based on a scenario in my home town. (Which may be similar to yours).

Loans and mortgages can be a tricky business, not to mention a costly business if you are unsure where to go and seek out help. The fact is that most local bankers and lenders will look over your present situation checking items such as your past payment history, your overall credit rating and most importantly your present income. Either yours or yours and your partners. This will in turn pretty much get you 2 or 3 options at best. So you shop around and you get the same offers almost eveywhere you go.

There is another way to help you find the best rate.

With technology advancing and with mortgages being such big business due to the lifespan of how long you will be paying the lender, your options are not nearly as limited as you may or may not be lead to believe. I was doing a seminar a few weeks ago with a room of about 20 people who were all looking at cost effective ways to get into a home and how to make sure they were getting the best option for their money. Now this is very important for several reasons :

1. It’s your money, you want the best and most practical mortgage payment available.

2. This is a long term investment, so you do the math here. What makes more sense $700.00 a month or $900.00 a month? Yes, it is a trick question, because it depends on how long the terms are and how much you can afford. It may seem off but alot of times the $900.00 is worse, usually more is better but well read the fine print.

3. You want competition. Keep reading and I will explain.

Alright, the more competition you get the better it is for you in the long run because the lender wants your business. But…if you live in a small town, like I do, you may not have much competition at all. So if you don’t like what they offer you what do you do? Do you necessarily take the best offer? Personally I wouldn’t…I would do some digging, alot of people still don’t realize that you can actually take 5 or 10 minutes at most and check out the internet for a whole slew of lenders and mortgage companies that will literally fight for your business. It’s true and it’s convenient for you. You don’t have to make an appointment, get dressed up, take a “positive” pill and get all stressed out over the meeting. You simply go online, fill out a few forms (as many as you like) and wait for the replies. It’s fast, its incredibly effective, and it will more than likely save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

That being said, you should still make sure you are comfortable wih the companies you fill the forms out with and here are a few must tips to doing this :

1. Give out as much personal information as you are comfortable with, don’t fill out anything you suspect to be non-required information.

2. Make sure the companis are reputable, look for a B.B.B logo on the page. (Better Business Bureau)

3. This is not a must but a recommendation, when asked for your email give them one you check periodically, I never give out my personal email to any company unless I have been doing business with them for awhile, just to avoid alot of potential email I don’t want.

4. Final option, go to www.alexa.com and see what their overall rating is online, take a look at the companies stats. Have they been around awhile? etc. and if you can view their testimonial pages. If they have alot of testimonials then chances are you have found a reputable company to go with.

Well, there it is. The internet can give you alot of options and alot of companies who will fight for your business and again, in the end you win. You will get the best mortgage available and you get to choose the company. Peace of mind.

Until next time.

Take care,

When I was in college, the curriculum offered several courses on speaking, but I can’t recall a single one on listening. Yet a minimum of 50% of communication is attributed to a person’s ability to effectively listen. So if you are looking for a way to improve your communications skills with customers, suppliers, coworkers, friends and family members, consider the following six techniques designed to enhance effective listening:

1. Ask well-designed open-ended questions. If you want to be more in control of your sales calls, talk less and ask more questions. When you’re talking, you’re learning nothing, but when you ask good questions, you’re getting inside your customers and prospect’s heads. You’re learning more about how they think and how they make decisions.

Here are several of my favorites:

Question: What criteria do you use when _____________? The reason for the blank is because this question is so flexible. You can fill in the blank with different words. For example:

Question: What criteria do you use when making a decision to change brands?

Question: What criteria do you use when selecting a supplier?

Question: What criteria so you use when making a buying decision?

Since I am a big believer in consulting selling, it is critical for me to understand what objectives my clients are trying to achieve. If you can help a customer make more money, be more successful or solve their most pressing problems, you will never again have to worry about your income level.

Here is one of my old standbys that should not be used until you have developed a good enough relationship with the customer or prospect to have earned the right to ask it.

Question: When the end of the year rolls around, what sort of evidence do you look for to determine if you’ve been successful or not?

Key: Ask the question and shut up long enough for the customer to answer. Too often, salespeople can stand periods of silence for too short a period of time. So be patient!

When you ask a customer for an order and the customer tells you that your price is too high, try asking this question:

Question: Are you telling me that if my prices were line for line, item for item identical to the competition, that you and I would be doing business?

This question enables the salesperson to determine the “real reason” for a “NO” answer. Here’s another:

Question: If it were not for __________, are you telling me that we would be doing business together?

Fill in the blank with words like PRICE or whatever reason (or excuse) the customer offers for not buying.

The best conversationalists have mastered the art of asking probing open-ended questions. People don’t care how much you know until they know you much you care.

2. Lip read. When listening, focus on the person’s lips. Because you are able to think so much faster than another person can speak, it’s natural for your mind to wander as you listen. Avoid actually moving your lips as the person speaks, but silently repeat each word that comes out of their mouth. This technique greatly enhances retention and reduces the tendency to allow your mind to wander.

3. Paraphase. When you are not quite sure that you got the precise meaning of a statement, use the paraphrasing technique; that is, repeat back to the person what you believe you heard him or her say. If you heard correctly, you’ll receive confirmation, but if you heard incorrectly, the other person can set your straight.

4. Ask people to repeat to repeat themselves. Let’s say that you accidentally do allow your mind to wander; we’re all guilty of this communication sin from time to time. Don’t try to fake it, but rather, ask politely: “I’m sorry, I missed your last point. Would you please repeat it?”

5. Resist interrupting. Especially if you are short on patience, you may have developed the bad habit of interrupting before others finish making their point. Get into the good habit of waiting until the other person finishes what they are saying before jumping in with your own two cents worth. Make a quick note to yourself if you want to remind yourself what you wanted to say when you thought about interrupting.

6. Love learning. Once again, when you’re talking, you are learning nothing. When you are listening, you are gaining insight into another person’s experience. If you ask customers and prospects enough well-designed open-ended questions, they will tell you everything you need to know to make the sale.

A year or two ago, it’s likely that you would have looked at me and thought to yourself… “Hey, now here’s a guy whose going somewhere in life. He’s college educated, he’s got a fun job in the multimedia industry, he’s also an up-and-coming musician with a CD in stores, he’s performing at famous venues and getting some radio airplay, he’s got a lot of loyal friends who’ve stuck by him through the years, and he’s even got a beautiful, intelligent, and caring woman by his side… If anybody stands a chance at being happy in this life, it’s this guy.”

If you looked at my life now, you’d probably assume I’ve lost my mind. That’s okay with me. That’s pretty much what’s happened, just not how you think. Part of what I’m doing now is something that I feel sort of destined to do. And that is, demonstrating that it’s possible to be virtually nobody, going nowhere, owning nothing, and all the while being truly happy, deeply at peace. Our culture and what I lovingly call the “cult of society” would have you believe that ultimate satisfaction is not possible under such conditions, but I am here to assure you that it is.

Not before you were five years old but surely since then, you have unwittingly participated in a lie. This lie that I’m talking about is a cultural myth which has conditioned you to believe, that in order to feel good about yourself you must be somebody more important, be going somewhere more interesting, establishing something more lasting, doing something more profitable, learning something more useful, achieving something more impressive, possessing something more valuable. You should be building on your past, planning for tomorrow, anticipating setbacks, trying harder, striving for more, striving for more, always striving for more.

Think of a baby, two or three years old. Consider how freely they express their emotions, how they ask for what they really want, how ready they are to explore life, to take risks, how willing they are to fall flat on their face.

Children at that age aren’t domesticated yet. They haven’t believed the lie that in order to be happy they have to be something, buy something, achieve something, learn something, know something, lease something, possess something, or even be free of something. They don’t live their lives according to anyone else’s expectations. They don’t even live by expectations of their own. They don’t feel defined by their past and they aren’t waiting for some grand fulfillment to occur in the future. They are wild, free, and usually quite happy.

I believe that is exactly how life is meant to be lived. The bad news is we can never return to that kind of innocence, no matter how hard we may try. Here’s the good news… It is possible to live much closer to that state of being and even make visits there often.

From the outside looking in, it seems I am on a spiritual journey. From my perspective I am just living life. I do meditate quite a lot though and I also spend a good deal of time studying ancient wisdom. I study the ancient wisdom because I’m fascinated by the concept of enlightenment. Enlightenment, it seems to me, is all about realizing who and what you really are. I meditate a lot because that’s what helps me do that. It’s how I turn off the compulsive thinker who used to rule my mind. When I meditate I am able to turn off compulsive thinking and just swim in the spaciousness of pure being-ness, pure awareness, stillness and peace.

Maybe you’re not sure what the heck I’m talking about with all this spaciousness of pure whatever-ness stuff. If that’s the case, just think of the undomesticated child and the joyful contentment in his eyes. He knows what I’m talking about. His mind is not filled with repetitive and compulsive thinking. He’s not feeling defined by the past or waiting anxiously for fulfillment in the future. He’s just being… Free.

Stephen Covey (http://www.stephencovey.com/) told us to “begin
with the end in mind.”

Have you ever heard “train with the brain in mind?”

Growing up, I would get the latest issue of Muscle and Fitness
and plug away at biceps, triceps and chest routines. What
resulted was frustration due to lack of performance enhancement
and usually an overuse injury or two.

After becoming a Physical Therapist and gaining the knowledge of
how the body operates, it became apparent why I had so much
trouble meeting my fitness goals growing up and why I had
injuries.

I was confusing my brain.

The brain is our guardian; like a protective mother with lots of
kids. The kids in this case are all the bones, joints, muscles,
etc.

The mother wants her kids to be successful. It really bothers
her to see her kids suffer or doing anything that makes them
struggle. In other words, the brain is interested in the body’s
success.

Now most mothers (brains) have spies to help them. These are
neighbors, kids in the neighborhood, teachers at school, etc.,
that let mothers know if there are problems with the kids. You
see, the brain does not like the body or its parts (the kids) to
get into any difficulty.

These spies are called proprioceptors. They send information to
the brain to let it know such things as how fast a limb is
moving, how much tension a muscle is under, if a joint is under
too much strain and where a body part is located in space. The
brain reacts by making adjustments so the body is successful.

You see, by training the body in the correct way, the right
information gets to the brain. When you train the body the wrong
way, the spies send bad information to the brain; this results
in poor performance and fitness outcomes.

The brain will take in whatever information you feed it, good or
bad. It loves you like only a good mother could. It will react
based on the information it gets. The brain wants you to be
efficient and have glorious results…but can only respond to
the information it receives.

The last tidbit of information about the brain and its
importance to training is this; the brain recognizes muscle
synergies (groups of muscles working together).

This brings me to my point about confusing the brain. If you
send it information about muscles working in isolation (biceps
curls, triceps press downs, sitting knee extensions), then the
brain responds with mixed signals. It wants to make the body
efficient by having the muscles work in groups. Based on the
feedback it is getting though, it tries to make the body as
successful as possible by helping the muscles work individually.
This results in poor movement patterns and injury.

Based on this information, I realized my brain needed some help.
I needed to stop feeding my brain artificial movement
information. I needed to train my muscles and joints as a group
and do programs that allowed my body to move as it was designed
to move.

Now I realize I just gave you a lot of neuroanatomy and
physiology in a few short paragraphs. However, with that
knowledge in tow, let me tell you the type of routine that will
stimulate your brain!

There are four things you must do:

First, get on your feet. We constantly ask our bodies to perform
while squatting, walking and climbing stairs. Our muscles need
to be ready to respond when executing these types of activities.
If you train the body (and brain) while on your feet, it will
respond by making the body more efficient during those occasions.

Second, train movements, not muscles. As mentioned before, the
brain recognizes groups (synergies) of muscles, not individual
muscles. To make greater fitness gains, don’t confuse your
brain…train it correctly.

Third, work in multiple planes of motion. There are three planes
of motion: sagittal (front and back like a forward lunge or
walking straight ahead), frontal (side-to-side like a
lateral/side lunge or arm motion during jumping jacks), and
transverse (rotation like a drop-step lunge or swinging a bat).
All human movements have all three planes involved; however,
there is usually one dominant plane. Training in three planes
will assist in training muscle synergies and will make your
brain happy.

Fourth, get your hips into it! The hip musculature originates
and dissipates (controls) body forces; forces like gravity,
ground reaction (forces coming up from the ground when taking a
step), and external forces (weights, exercise bands, etc.)
acting on the system. The hips are the crossroads for many
forces working on the body. Proper motion and strength in your
hips can help make other parts of your body perform better.

A few sample exercises that incorporate the above principles are:

* Three position lunges. Lunges to the front, side and drop step
(stepping back at a 45 degree angle).

* Squat to overhead shoulder press with dumbbells.

* Squat to row - similar to the seated row, only in a standing
position. When arms are out, you are in a squat position, when
you pull back to row, bring your hips forward and stand up.

I could talk for hours about the benefits of full-body
multi-plane exercise routines. Hopefully you understand why it
is so important to your movement success and ultimately your
fitness success.

Take home points from this article:

* Train on your feet, in three planes of motion. * Work through
your hips to train your brain * Full body, synergistic routines
send the proper information to the brain about successful
movement patterns.

Ultimately, this will improve:

* Movement * Weight loss * Energy * Balance * Flexibility *
Strength * And help eliminate joint pain and injury possibility.

Good luck, train your brain…your body will thank you.

Designed for users equipped with a good credit rating, the Toys “R” Us Visa Platinum Card offers cardholders great rebates. With a 4% rebate for Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us store purchases plus no annual fee, this card is ideal for parents intending to enjoy great savings, while still getting that toy which their children have been asking for.

Purchases made with the Toys “R” Us Visa Platinum Card at www.toysrus.com, www.babiesrus.com or anywhere Visa credit cards are accepted receive a 1% rebate for each transaction. When the rebate values reach $10, the cardholder will then be sent certificates that can be used to redeem for products at Toys “R” Us® and Babies “R” Us stores, as well as through their websites. The certificates will expire after one year but the amount of rebates that can be earned is limitless.

Now we get to the dirt. For a Platinum card, the Toys “R” Us Credit Card doesn’t provide any exclusive perks on top of the usual benefits which are also by other cards. The APR is also relatively higher for less qualifying applicants, with the 0% APR intro period dependent on your credit history. The real stinker is the way finance charges are determined, which is the “Two Cycles Average Daily Balance” method which results in higher interest payable than the usual “Average Daily Balance” configuration.

Nevertheless, this should not be a hindrance to you if you have good payment habits, a great credit score and continue to be financially responsible. With this, the interest tabulation will have minimal effects on your costs of using the Toys “R” Us Credit Card. Otherwise, it may be better for you to get alternate cards which utilize a better way of tabulating interests.

Overall, the Toys “R” Us Credit Card would be suitable for you if you plan to make a lot of purchases at Toys “R” Us® and Babies “R” Us® stores in addition to taking advantage of that 4% rebate. Otherwise there may be better Platinum Cards out there for you.

Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders’ training regimes.

It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.

In this article we’ll take a close look at the wrist extension.

MUSCLES TARGETED: extensor carpi radialis, extensor carpi ulnaris
