A Sure-Fire Way to Take Your Business from "Ordinary" to "Mediocre"

By Trish Lambert Content is king when it comes to marketing on the Internet. You try to keep visitors coming back by providing free content: Articles, reports, newsletters, ebooks, ecourses, and the list goes on and on. Any market, any industry--search on a key word, and you will find a passel of sites with copy in all shapes and sizes. So content is king and there's already a lot of content out there no matter what market you are in. Is it any surprise that the latest gimmick being used by eager but talent-challenged web businesses is to do what I call "reverse plagiarism?" Here's how you reverse plagiarize: -- Search key words for the type of content you want to make your own. -- Shop among the results to find articles, reports, ebooks, or other items that fit your market and your own business. -- Capture them (or buy them if you need to, it's a small investment). -- Then hire a copy writer to rewrite them just enough to keep search engines from highlighting your quasi-original work. And Voila! You now have your very own content to provide and sell on the Internet! Wow! This is biologically accurate "viral marketing," with content mutating as it replicates across the Internet. And it is being practiced by the hundreds (if not thousands) of mediocre businesses every day, all around the world. This tactic skirts the edge of ethics. OK, so it isn't illegal. You're not going to get sued, since there's no law against having "extremely similar" content to someone else. But it's a parasitic practice where you suck off someone else's work and knowledge. If a business owner can justify doing this kind of thing, what other corners are they going to cut? Is this someone I want to do business with, either as a customer or a vendor? No. And besides the fact that karma will eventually get you, if the stuff you are lifting to reverse plagiarize is really good, it is highly likely that your customers and prospects have already read it in its original form. No amount of thesaurus-aided rewriting is going to hide the cadence, organization, and overall tone of the article. It's going to be an obvious derivative. On the other hand, if the stuff pull isn't all that great to begin with (which begs the question of why you'd be using it in the first place), all you're going to do with that thesaurus is create more mediocrity. Why would any business that wants to attract customers think that generating more low quality content is going to do the trick? Add to that the chance that you'll add more inaccurate or misleading information to the Web. Either way, how does practicing this kind of not-quite-cheating enhance your image in the marketplace? What does it really say about your business ethics and professionalism? If you want content for your site, do this instead: -- Scope out what you want and hire a good copy writer who will give you a decent fixed price for the content you've listed. -- Make sure they understand what you want to say, who will be reading it, and what results you are looking for. -- If your own expertise and knowledge of market are needed, dictate into a digital recorder or have your writer interview you while they record. -- Then, turn them loose to get the job done. You will end up with truly original content that represents you accurately. You can use a service like Copyscape to make sure you don't end up having somebody plagiarize you. The reverse plagiarists, unfortunately, will replicate undetected--in this case, I guess you have to just figure that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and hope for the best.

Basic Gardening - Planting Bare Roots

By Jonathan Johnson Bare root plants are easy to handle. They are usually dormant perennials, shrubs, or trees that have been harvested from the field, have had the soil washed from their roots and then have been stored in refrigeration for later shipment. "Bare rooting" a plant is a safe, proven, and much used means of storing and shipping many garden plants. At Cottage Farms we always recommend that you plant bare root plants as soon as possible, but you can hold them in a refrigerator, unheated garage, or cellar for a short period if necessary. The best time of year for planting bare root plants in the garden is during the winter (if the soil is not frozen) or spring. The arrival of warmer temperatures and longer days cause the plants to wake up naturally from their winter dormancy and help insure gardening success. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daylilies: Cottage Farms suggests choosing a garden area that will receive at least four hours of direct sun each day. Spade or roto-till the intended flower bed to a depth of at least 8-10 inches. If you do not have good garden soil, you may want to blend in a generous portion of dehydrated manure, compost, peat moss, or shredded leaves, but daylilies are one of the easiest to grow and most forgiving plants in any garden. Dig holes at least twice as wide and deep as the bare root divisions. Fashion a small cone-shaped mound of dirt in the center of the hole below ground level. Spread the roots over the mound with no more than 1" of soil covering the crown (where the leaves and roots meet). For daylilies with emerging green growth plant any new growth above ground level. Firm the soil around the crown of the plant. Cottage Farms always recommends mulching immediately since mulch shades and cools the soil, helps prevent weeds and provides organic matter for the soil. Water your plants thoroughly after mulching. Daylilies grow best with at least 1-inch of rain (or equivalent watering) each week, but are quite drought tolerant. As soon as new growth emerges begin fertilizing every two weeks with Cottage Farms "Carefree Bud-N-Bloom Booster" throughout the growing season. This will help ensure maximum flowering and root development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trees and Shrubs: First, look the plant over and remove (prune) any broken or damaged limbs or roots. Cottage Farms recommends soaking the roots of the tree or shrub in a bucket of water for 2 to 3 hours prior to planting. When ready for planting, select a site suitable for the plant and dig a hole larger than the roots are wide when they are spread out. If you are planting in poor or clay soils, you may want to mix compost, dehydrated manure, peat moss or shredded leaves with you excavated soil (if you do so, you may have extra soil when you complete the planting - remove excess soil, never pile it against the stem or plant too deep) . In the bottom of the hole form a cone shaped mound of soil. Place the plant's roots over the mound of soil and spread them evenly around the mound. Before filling the hole with soil make sure the trees existing soil line will be even with the new ground level. Begin filling the hole with soil, carefully firming the soil around the roots, leaving no air pockets. When the hole is approximately full of soil fill the hole with water and let it soak in. Once the water has soaked in make sure the tree is standing straight and finish filling the hole with soil. Form a saucer shaped rim around the outside of the hole. This will allow water to stay within the planting area. To assist a tree or tall shrub in getting anchored, you may want to stake it. As always, Cottage Farms suggests a 2-4-inch layer of mulch around the planting area to promote moisture retention, maintain even soil temperatures, and to discourage weed growth. Water the new transplant generously once every week throughout its first growing season. In later years, at least 1-inch of rain or watering equivalent per week is recommended for most soils. As soon as new growth emerges begin fertilizing every two weeks with Cottage Farms "Carefree Bud-N-Bloom Booster" throughout the growing season. This will help ensure maximum flowering and root development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roses: Prior to planting remove (prune off) any broken roots or canes. Cottage Farms suggests soaking the entire rose plant (roots and canes) for at least 1-2 hours in luke-warm water. Select a location that receives at least four hours of sun each day. Spade or roto-till the intended rose bed to a depth of 12-15 inches. Unless you have good garden soil, Cottage Farms suggest you blend in a generous portion of dehydrated manure, compost, peat moss, or shredded leaves. This will help improve drainage and aeration. Dig a hole at least twice as wide and deep as the bare roots. Partially fill the hole with the soil mix, making a cone shaped mound in the center of the hole over which to drape the roots. Adjust the height of the mound so the graft union is at the correct level. In warmer climates a rose should be planted so the bud union (a bulge on the stem of the rose plant indicating where the rose plant has been grafted onto the roots) is at or slightly above ground level. In colder climates, the union may be planted up to 2" below ground level to help reduce the chance for winter die-back. Spread the roots out evenly over the cone shaped mound. Holding the rose at the correct planting depth, fill the hole with soil, working it carefully around the roots. When the hole is approximately full of soil, fill the hole with water and let it soak in. Once the water has soaked into the soil, make sure the rose is standing straight up and finish filling the hole. Form a saucer shaped rim around the outside of the hole. This will allow water to stay within the planting area. Cottage Farms always suggests a 2-4-inch layer of mulch around the planting area to promote moisture retention, maintain even soil temperatures, and to discourage weed growth. Roses require at least 1-inch of rain (or equivalent watering) each week. As soon as new growth emerges begin fertilizing every two weeks with Cottage Farms "Carefree Bud-N-Bloom Rose Booster" throughout the growing season. This will help ensure maximum flowering and root development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Irises and other Rhizomes: Select a good location for the plants being planted in your garden. Irises do well in full sun or partial shade. Spade or roto-till the intended flower bed to a depth of 8-10-inches. If your garden soil poor or is a heavy clay, Cottage Farms suggest you blend in a generous portion of dehydrated manure, compost, peat moss, or shredded leaves into the soil. Dig holes at least twice as wide and deep as the rhizome. Fashion a cone shaped mound of soil in the center of the hole below ground level. Spread the roots over the mound with the top of the rhizome at ground level or slightly exposed. A common mistake is planting Iris rhizomes to deep. Firm in the soil around the rhizome with your fingers and water thoroughly. Cottage Farms always suggests a 2-4-inch layer of mulch around the planting area to promote moisture retention, maintain even soil temperatures, and to discourage weed growth. Iris perform best with at least 1-inch of rain (or equivalent watering) each week. As soon as new growth emerges begin fertilizing every two weeks with Cottage Farms "Carefree Bud-N-Bloom Booster" throughout the growing season. This will ensure maximum flowering and root development. Cottage Farms Direct

Credit Unions: The Cheaper Alternative?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michael_Challiner]Michael Challiner The standard means of obtaining credit has become so widespread that being at the mercy of increasing interest rates and inflated charges on loans and credit cards has become so commonplace that it is easy to believe there is no other option. But there may be an alternative in the form of the little known credit union movement. A credit union is a profit sharing, financial co-operative run democratically by the members of the union itself. And by offering a more financially attractive alternative to the standard products offered by banks, the popularity of the credit union movement in the UK is increasing. As maximizing profits is not the key goal for a credit union, such an organisation has three main aims: To encourage its members to save regularly
To provide loans and financial assistance to its members at the lowest rates of interest possible
To offer its members help and support, if required, in the management of their financial affairs To enable you to take advantage of the kind of services that a credit union offers, all you have to do is become a member. Not that this is quite as straightforward as you might imagine The key to becoming a member of a credit union is what is known as the common bond. The common bond determines whether or not you will be accepted as a member of a credit union and this could be that you reside in a specified area, work for a particular employer or within a particular trade, or that you are a member of a certain club or association. Because of this, credit unions welcome everybody from within the common bond regardless of income, employment status or age and also and perhaps more crucially, regardless of your credit rating or if you are unable to save a regular amount. So whether you have a poor credit rating or not you can still become a member of a credit union and save as little or as much as you like. Irregular savers are just as welcome as those people who are able to save money on a regular basis and usually all members, regardless of the amount saved, are paid the same percentage annual dividend on their savings. Whilst generally paid at 2 to 3%, this can be as much as 8% depending on profits. Using the sum of all members savings, the credit union is then able to provide low cost financial services to its members. Although each credit union (as all mutual societies) must ensure that enough money is set aside to ensure financial stability, all other profits are used to provide the lowest interest rates for members loans whilst returning an attractive rate of interest for its savers. With an attractive 6% being the typical interest rate on loan repayments (which normally includes insurance at no direct cost), as the rate of interest that a credit union can charge is capped at 1% a month the most interest you would have to pay on a loan of 100 for example would be only 1 a month! Insofar as government regulation is concerned, the Credit Unions Act 1979 remains the key legislation that regulates the activities of credit unions. As well as setting out the objectives of an individual credit union, it also mandates that all accounts are independently audited on an annual basis and that full insurance is put in place against fraud and theft. Also, a given credit union cannot lend all the money saved as loans to its members and cannot invest any residual money in any ventures above a certain level of risk. To reduce the risk of bad investment and to ensure that all savers money is not tied up for long periods of time, any money in the control of the credit union must be put into bank deposit accounts, government bonds or other reliable investments. Overall, credit unions offer an easy and convenient way to save and borrow and can provide a focal point for a community by bringing people together, to both help each other and to help the community as a whole. A credit union can also help to revive the economy of a local area as more money stays within the community which has a knock on effect on income for local businesses. All you have to do is prove that you can save before any loan will be offered but once proven, financial assistance will be offered based on how much you can save or tailored to your individual circumstances. Paying into a credit union is also easy and can be done at local shops, convenient collection points, or can even be taken directly from your salary. So is becoming a member of a credit union right for everyone? Before considering them it is worthwhile bearing the following points in mind: Regardless of which credit union offers you the best option, you cannot simply join whichever credit union you want. You have to fulfill the requirements of the common bond or at the very least, be a close family relation of someone that does and who is already a member. Credit unions are not just a means of obtaining cheaper loans. Although there is no fixed rule for all credit unions, generally you have to have saved with them before any assistance is offered and proved yourself to be able to save. A credit union does not provide the convenience of the high street banks as an individual union will typically have very few or sometimes no ATMs and few branch offices. Credit unions may not offer the range of services that you can get from your local bank so check to see what is on offer before you commit. Other services such as the return of cancelled checks etc. may also not be provided. It may be worth retaining an account at your bank alongside credit union membership. All money borrowed from or saved with a credit union must be in the name of a member and as such, no money can be borrowed in the name of your business. Even if you need money for your business you still need to borrow money in the manner of a standard member of the credit union. If you above points do not preclude you from becoming a member of a credit union then the best way to obtain a list of the credit unions operating in your local area would be from the Citizens Advice Bureau or your local council. Alternatively there may be a credit union covering the particular industry/place of employment where you or your partner work so it may be worthwhile contacting your payroll department or trade union representative. Although relatively small in size due to legal restrictions in place to prevent unfair competition with banks and other financial institutions, the UK credit union movement is growing in popularity and offers a real alternative to expensive bank loans or credit cards. Even if your credit rating is poor or non-existent, a credit union may be the right option for you.

Anniversary Gifts For The Perfect Couple

By David Fishman Everyone has been in the same position the wedding anniversary comes out of know where and the rushing around to get a gift is inconvenient. Many anniversary occasions need to be equal to the wedding celebration for some people. When you have an anniversary is many years after the wedding it acknowledges that the commitment between the couples have made it through the test of time. Trying to figure out what your spouse wants is sometimes difficult so leave hints or let them know what you would like. The anniversary gift shows that you are loving, loyal and sincere and you have hope for a future. Whether you have been dating for one year or married for 50 years, an anniversary gift is the perfect way to show your love and appreciation. Nice wines or gift baskets containing the things they love make a great gift. All couples love to celebrate anniversaries, when together year after year it shows that they love each other and the bond between them will last and last. When reaching the 50th wedding anniversary is it a definite milestone, not many couples reach this fabulous time and since so many do not reach this level it is a great time to acknowledge the couples hard work and honor them for the love they were able to keep for each other over the years. A traditional wedding anniversary gift varies annually. Throughout the years, these traditional gives can be kept as mementos or family heirlooms. For example, the traditional gift for the first anniversary is paper, the second year is cotton, and the third is leather and so on. When thinking about a traditional anniversary gift it is a good plan to make a list of item that will help and benefit to the couple. There are now stores that offer flowers made of cotton, wood, tin or lace. When you send flowers to some one you remind them that they are precious to you and that you slove them. Flowers are very easy to find and it is a gift that brings a natural smile to anyones face. The symbol of the sixth anniversary is sweet candy, even though at this time the year the symbol associated is wood. The sixth year is a great time to give candy as an anniversary gift because it will symbolize and ensure the sweetness of the marriage of the seven year itch. When giving presents to your spouse, and the occasion is the wedding anniversary the details of the gift and what you put into it is more important and meaningful and becomes as valuable as lets say a diamond. Gifts can be anything from golden vase, jewelry, frames, cups, and other types of trinkets. When buying a gift it doesnt need to gold, taking a gift and wrapping it in gold paper it just as nice. While its important to find an anniversary gift that will pay homage to your past memories as well as capture your new memories, you might want to stick to the traditional gifts such as silver when the couple reaches the 25th anniversary or gold for the 50th.

Heads Up - Ten Techniques For Safely Shaving Your Head

By Kathy Hammond Head shaving done by females as well as males is seen and accepted much more these days. But history tells us it's nothing new. Both ancient male and female Egyptians used to shave their heads bald. Females always wore wigs. The modern female who is shaving her head often has fun doing so as well. Many people find bald heads very sexy. And if you didn't know - The entire scalp is an erogenous zone after shaving. If you're certain you're ready to go bald for the first time, here are techniques to help you: 1) Start by cutting and then trimming your head hair to a short stubble before shaving. 2) Next, take a hot shower. The steam will relax the skin and soften the hairs, which will make head shaving easier. Allow your skin and stubble to be wet for five to ten minutes. 3) Then apply a rich lubricant and allow it to sit for a short while. You might want to use a little Tea Tree or mineral oil. This will help the razor glide more easily while shaving your head, which will help prevent cuts. 4) ALWAYS use a fresh, new blade in your razor. And if it starts to feel like the razor is dragging, put in a new blade. Especially because people will be noticing your bald pate, the last thing you want is scraped, scabby skin. You want smooth and shiny skin after shaving. Obviously, you can't see the back of your head to shave it, so if you don't want to end up looking patchy ... 5) Use a mirror. Also, regularly use your fingers to feel for areas you've missed. Note:The direction of head shaving doesn't matter because the hair grows in different directions. Whatever feels best to you. 6) Try not to apply too much pressure or repeat strokes in the same area as you're shaving as both of these actions will certainly irritate the skin. After you're finished shaving your head - 7) Thoroughly wash off any remaining lubricant with warm water. 8) Then rinse with cold water. If you think you can handle it, rub your head with an ice cube. This will go a long way to close and calm the follicles, (the skin depressions from which hairs emerge), and generally tone your scalp skin. 9) Pat the area dry, making sure not to rub. 10) Many veteran head shavers believe applying witch hazel, after shave or another alcohol based product works well to further close the follicles and also act as an astringent to kill any germs and bacteria. But beware - Alcohol dries out the skin and dry skin is a major culprit in creating skin irritations. Tip:One way to kill bacteria, prevent infection and obtain moisture is to use the popular natural remedy Tea Tree Oil. It will deeply condition your scalp and provide your pate with a healthy sheen. There are many creams, lotions and oils specifically formulated to limit irritations and itching from shaving. Used regularly, these will soften the skin and hair follicles and even reduce the stiffness of the stubble when hairs start growing in between shaves. After you rub a goodly amount into your skin, go ahead and put on some more - Only this time don't rub it in but allow your skin to absorb it. These guidelines are based upon generations of people's experiences head shaving with a wet razor, so if you follow them, you should receive the most pleasing results. Depending on how much hair you want showing between shaves, you can shave your head every day, once a week, or only once a month. If you decide you do really enjoy having a bald head, do some research. There is an alternative to shaving your head with a wet razor that will remove your hair closely, cleanly and most importantly, safely. Bodworx International presents tips and the latest data for shaving your head. Visit them at their head shaving website at http://www.a1-head-shaving.com for more information.

Automate Your Marketing - Develop a Corporate Marketing Kit

By Carla Alvarez How many times do you pass up free opportunities to market your business? You know what Im talking about, someone contacts you and wants to spotlight your business but needs a bio. Or maybe you donated to a group and they will publish your ad, but you need to send it to them. Do you always have a hand out when you go to a networking meeting? Does every place that your company is listed have complete and accurate information as well as an enticing description? If not, its most likely because it takes time or youre not sure what to say. Set yourself up for success and develop a corporate marketing kit for your business. What is a Corporate Marketing Kit
In your corporate marketing kit, you will have guidelines for different
types of advertising. If you already have a corporate press kit, some
of the same information can be used for your marketing kit; however,
you want to take it a step further and create ads and promotional items
that can be used in a variety of settings. Start with the Basics:
List your company name, address, contact numbers and web site address
as it should be listed in advertising. This may seem like an obvious
thing; however, it is important to have consistency, particularly if
you are in a regulated industry or have registered trademarks or service marks. Logo
If you have a company logo, note any fonts and colors that are used
within the logo. If someone else designed the logo for you, make sure
that you have a copy of the fonts. It makes creating cohesive ads much
easier. If possible, get the source files for the logo. If you cant
get the source files, get the logo in several sizes and formats. If
there are variations of your logo, make a note of when and how each
should be used. Company Purpose
Write down why your company is in business . . . how you make a difference
to your customers and clients. For example, Legacy Marketing provides
marketing and business support services, but its purpose is to help
customers grow their business. Company Description
Write a description of what your company does, including the products
and services that it offers. Include three versions, a paragraph, a
half page, and a two page description. In the longer versions, include
the history of the company and bios of key people. Ads
Create template ads in a variety of sizes, quarter page, half page,
and full page at a minimum.
Write sample ad copy for both informational and promotional appeals. Marketing Collateral
In order to truly automate your marketing, have a variety of collateral
pieces ready to go and define when each should be used. The basics to
start with are: Business Cards Purse Stuffer: Examples of this would be a rack card, postcards, half sheet or quarter page flyers. It should be something that is small enough that people will pick it up and take it with them and yet gives enough information to generate interest and prompt them to visit your place of business or your web site for more information. Informational: This type of marketing piece would be something to give to prospective customers who have expressed an interest in your product or service. Examples would be a brochure, pamphlet, or booklet. Promo items: Have a plan for when you will use promo items and the types you will offer. If you have different target markets or product lines, you might use a different promo item depending on the venue. Online:
In addition to helping build your business brand along with print
advertising, online advertising can also affect your search engine rankings.
Your online ads need to be focused and consistent to maximize results. If there are specific keywords or phrases that you are targeting, they
can be included in the text or banner link code to build search engine
rankings. Create search engine optimized banner and text ads and specify the
html to be used for each. Make sure that all graphics and logos have
been optimized for the web. Putting the Pieces in Place
Creating foundation marketing pieces will promote a consistent message
and allow you to take advantage of those last minute opportunities.

You Take The Vacation - Not Your Garden

By Marie Fisher If you are planning to go on vacation, there are some
important tasks that you really must undertake to ensure
that your garden continues to maintain that well cared
for condition which you constantly strive for. After all, because you have spent so much of your time
during the rest of the year trying to achieve perfection,
it would be a great pity if some of that good work were
to be undone. You do deserve that well earned vacation however, so I put
it to you that you will enjoy the break even more, in the
knowledge that you will not be returning home to any
unpleasant surprises. Here are a few simple steps that I would advise you to take
to help to make sure that all remains well. Just how much you need to plan in advance depends entirely
on how long that you intend to be away from home. Even if you are only going away for a week or just over it,
I strongly recommend that you make the time to attend to
those basic garden chores the day before you leave. For example, I always mow the lawn, deadhead all my flowers,
and I make a point of moving any house plants that I might
have temporarily placed outdoors to blossom, back indoors. Naturally I make sure that they are watered thoroughly. If you intend to be away from home for two consecutive weeks
or longer, I suggest that you make some provision well ahead
of the time, especially for the care of the lawn. Perhaps you know a reliable teenager looking for some extra
money in your neighborhood. If you do, strike a deal with him
to cut the lawn once a week during your absence. Whether he uses his lawn mower or yours though, do make sure
that he knows to cut the lawn at the highest setting on the
mower, which will usually be about three inches or so. If you have an exceptionally large area of lawn however, or
you intend to be away from home for a much longer period, you
would probably be best to hire a professional Gardener, or a
Garden Maintenance Company to attend to this. (funds
permitting of course) The day before you leave, preferably in the late morning,
prune just recently opened blossoms, taking long stems with
the cut flowers.
I suggest that you also carry a container of water and water
thoroughly. On the same day prune flower buds also, as the blossoms will
have most likely have opened and wilted during your absence. Check your annuals and perennials for blighted foliage,
removing any discolored leaves. Your house plants will also need to be cared for as well while you are away. If you intend a long break, then you really
should arrange for someone to attend to their needs if at all
possible. A good friend or neighbor will most likely be more than willing
to oblige, especially if you offer to return the favor. Your plants should be fine though, if you are only going away for a few days or so. However if you have a situation where you simply cannot call on
anybody to assist, or perhaps you do not want to impose on
anybody, then I have outlined a few useful steps that you can
take, particularly if you are intending to be absent for an
extended time. Move all those plants that are summering outdoors back inside,
but place them in a shaded area first.
Do this during the week before you leave, so as to let them
acclimatize to the change in conditions. Then bring them indoors, and place them in a spot where they
will be most likely to get the benefit of indirect sunshine.
In the morning before you depart, spread sheets of newspaper
on the floor of the room where your plants are situated. Water all your plants thoroughly, (whether they need it or not),
and then place them on the newspaper sheets. Place four large bowls of water around the plants, and cover
them with a large white sheet.
Make sure that the sheet drapes down beyond the plants onto
the newspaper. This will help to keep your plants moist and healthy. Remember that the first priority is to have a fantastic
vacation. If you are like me however, you will enjoy it all the more,
because you know that you have taken the time to make sure
that your cherished garden and house plants have been well
looked after. Marie K Fisher is an avid gardening enthusiast with a passion

The Evidence that God Exists

By Andy Carloff "...the Holy Inquisition selected with extreme care the freest and boldest men in order to burn or imprison them. In Spain alone some of the best men- those who doubted and questioned, and without doubting there can be no progress- were eliminated during three centuries at the rate of a thousand a year. The evil which the Catholic Church has thus effected is incalculable..." -- Charles Darwin, "The Descent of Man," 1871, chapter 5 The religious concept has always baffled me. In our science, all facts are demonstrable and observable by third parties. When the first diamond was discovered, I imagine that the explorer claimed that it was sparkling and beautiful. The others, too, who discovered the diamond and reported back information on it all said the same thing. Whenever a description of a foreign idea or object came to a native people, it was either confirmed or disconfirmed based on the findings of others who explored the same area. There was a conformity in the basis of opinion; all of these people are reporting back the same information, sometimes adding a little or sometimes clarifying an older part, so it is determined that they were generally all touching the same thing. When it comes to religion, however, individuals will venture forward to the what they believe is the spiritual realm, and when they come back with descriptions of what they have seen, there is absolutely no conformity of opinion. Some of the people who experienced the supernatural claim that Jesus Christ is the one god, and even in this religion, there are hundreds of different sects that believe in different characters of their god; the Gospel of Thomas, for instance, speaks of Christ as a Vegetarian, while in the other gospels, he makes fish for men to eat. There are some who had the religious experience and claimed that it was Yahweh, the vengeful and cruel god of the Torah, the Jewish holy book, who is the only supernatural being; and even for this group, there are different varieties, with orthodox, contemporary, and reformed churches. There are some who made their voyage in to the unknown and came back with tales not of gods, but of millions of spirits, inhabiting every object and animating all life. Others come back to us with news about rebirth or reincarnation. The wiser poet philosophers have suggested that god was real at one point, however, he has since killed himself. Some come back with stories of many gods, each one representing a different theme of society, or with each god representing a protector of different groups, like the god of thieves. Others tell us about spirits that represent each animals, while others have spirits that represent each season, and others still for spirits that represent omens or foreshadowing of the future. We can only comprehend truth when it is based on what we understand from others and how we relate their knowledge to our own experiences. In all sciences, the results are demonstrable, observable, and applicable. Religion has produced only an endless variety of insanities, each one usually accompanied by an inquisition, prejudices, crusades, bigotry, witch hunts, ostracism, intolerance, corruption, or an endless sort of social maladies. There seems to be such an enormous amount of willingness and hope on part of the believers of religion to prove it to those who would doubt it. Many of the faithful today will make their oppositions to the tactics of the Inquisition known. But, the Inquisition, like the witch-hunts, the holocaust, the crusades, or the endless amount of factions and sects battling each other, all of these things are representative of one true and undeniable attribute of religion: these people so strongly believe in their unseen creators, that they will sacrifice their life and those of others around them to satisfy what they believe is their divine duty. There is a great faith in all of these people; and its ultimate manifestation is usually coercive and oppressive. For those who are ambitious in the eyes of their god, it is rarely enough just to believe. There is that strong spirit in them to spread their gospel and to demonize anyone who would cast doubt on it. Their attention leaves the realm of the supernatural and becomes refocused on the non-believers. It is rare to see a minister, a clergy member, or anyone affiliated with a strong religious organization that is not resentful of those who doubt their faith. It is not enough to just say that there are other people in this world who don't believe. They need to quote the Bible's famous passage, "And the fool sayeth in his heart, 'there is no god.'" (Psalms 14:1.) In days past, they would send such "miserable folk" to their death upon the flames. Why is it that religious fundamentalism breeds such a cruel, unfeeling, and unthinking attitude towards our fellow human beings? Christian evangelical today are hardly defenders of personal liberty or civil rights. Many of them are opposed to abortion, drug use, masturbation, homosexuality, all sexuality in general, interesting art, progressive music (jazz or rock and roll), alternative and non-western religious views, and adult-rated film or art. For a group of people who claimed to have found ultimate peace through their lord and savior, they seem quite concerned with what other people are doing in the privacy of their own homes. Until Protestantism broke the vile chains of the Catholic Church, the common believer was even under the impression that they could have no direct communication with god -- such a connection could only be ordained and filtered through a registered priest. Where is all of this hate coming from? It is when these people, these who believe only they have found all the answers, those who believe that there is never a reason to doubt -- it is when these people start to manipulate the systems of education, politics, and economy, that society becomes a machine of madness and chaos. Religious groups have animosity for the non-believers for one reason and one reason only. To believe that there are other people in this world, who have read your scripture, and thought that it was worth little more than the paper it was printed on, to believe this is a threat to anyone's faith. When someone has dedicated their lives to a faith, have attached all emotional feeling to the existence of this unseen master, when such a person feels that their faith is threatened, they will always react strongly, thoughtlessly, and finally, coercively. "How is it possible that someone could know what I know about this religion, and then not fully dedicate their lives to its spread?" This becomes the thought of the fundamentalist at the sight of non-believers. The fundamentalist, never shy to seek a simple answer to a complicated question, will often times play it off as their devil controlling the living. It is impossible for them to believe that person could make an informed and knowledgeable decision to doubt. They must believe, on the other hand, that it is the will of Satan, or Beezlebub, manipulating the minds of men and women from his realm in the underkingdom, cackling as he captures another soul away from the one true god(s). This is where their inherent coercion and violence comes from. In building their fires, in adding fuel to embers, in forbidding and banning books, in their attempts to emblemize their master of the universe in every public forum -- in all of these cunning attempts to proselytize and punish the wicked non-believers, Fundamentalists forget that they're dealing with other human beings. If there is a true spiritual force of this world seeking out justice for all, then it is only the most natural and evident of ideas that such a being would want every human being to have the right to believe and speak as they wish, without being forced to live in the non-peaceful environment of a religious fundamentalism-controlled society. That all of this coercion is necessary for religion to exist should startle some of those doubts in the believers. Universally, god seems to be defined as an all-powerful and all-knowing being, a character truly fitting of being called master of the universe. And yet, the fact that he exists isn't the most natural occurrence to the average human being. One might think that, with such a description, it wouldn't take much to believe in the lord. Few wise men doubted the existence of the world's oceans, or were skeptical of its tall and unflinching mountains, or laughed at the descriptions of jungles teeming with life of every sort. All of these impressive and unbelievable things didn't require an Inquisition, nor did they require witch hunts, nor did they require the control and observation of the day-to-day lives of others, "to root out those who would doubt our faith." But, when it comes to god, the one thing these religious fundamentalists claim to be the most assured of, they will employ the rack, tax-exempt status for church property, and legislation that allows teacher-led prayer in public schools. When it comes to something so obvious and apparent, why should anyone find it necessary to employ such cruel and coercive methods in defending their religion? Because, for the most part, those who profess to believe in these religions doubt them the most, as such faiths will quickly and easily prove to be empty, hollow, and meaningless. The religious believer becomes threatened by someone who taps in to what they've already felt deep down inside, to those doubts that have terrified them on an inner level. Humane thinkers will have difficulty digesting any religious ideas. The greatest contradiction of religion is that it seeks to prove the undeniably powerful nature of whatever spiritual force they may happen to believe in. And this becomes the greatest irony when they inflict endless misery and pain on those around them, all under the discretion of "that which feels and knows most." How could anyone imagine their savior of peace smiling and laughing when his followers succeed in hurting other human beings? To a rational thinker, it is unthinkable, but to a fundamentalist, there is no other way to believe. [Author's Note: Started on Tuesday, March 28, 2006.

Former Girlfriends

By Ken Marlborough One of the hardest things a person can go through is to break up with his girlfriend. Sometimes the breakup is messy, and could potentially end the friendship along with the romantic relationship. Possible Outcomes of Ending a Relationship: The best possible scenario is that the breakup was mutual, and you two do not have hostile feelings towards each other and the breakup. When this occurs, it would be easier for you two to develop a plutonic friendship. Sadly though, as nice as that situation sounds it hardly ever occurs. Most breakups occur due to the fact that one of the members of the relationship got hurt to the point that they did not want to continue being that person's boyfriend or girlfriend. This type of a breakup does not leave much room for friendship after the breakup. In most cases there is a lot of hate and resentment between the two, causing them to cut all communication from each other. How to Remedy the Situation: Even if it was just for a short time you and your former girlfriend shared something special. I understand that it might be difficult, due to the fact that your pride and anger might be getting in the way, but it is very important to have a friendship with her. There was a reason why she became your girlfriend. What you need to do is to remember that reason. You need to remember the things about her that you liked, as well as all of the good things you two went through during the relationship. By doing this, you will initiate the healing process, and begin a dialog with her. This dialog can eventually turn into a friendship once again. It would be a shame to throw away a relationship because of hate, anger, and pride.

The Secret Weight Loss Machine

By Paul Reeve There is a piece of equipment available that has been shown in clinical tests to be unsurpassed for assisting in your weight loss goals - want to know what it is? The Treadmill - exercising on Treadmills has helped many people to achieve their weight loss goals - and it can help you too. Treadmills can be used by virtually any age group, and by individuals of any activity level. Treadmills can help you lose weight, and maintain your weight loss. It really is a numbers game. The more time you spend engaged in physical exercise the more calories you are going to burn and consequently the more pounds you will lose. If you are searching for fitness equipment that will not only burn fat, but will also raise your metabolism to continue burning fat long after youve stopped exercising, then a treadmill should be at the top of your list. The treadmill is matchless for cardiovascular exercise. According to a recent study, calories burned on the treadmill for 60 minutes averaged 865 - 705.
Compare this figure to the following: Stair machine 746 - 637
Rowing machine 739 - 606
Stationary cycle 604 - 556
Cross-country ski machine 678 - 595 As you can see the treadmill comes out as the number one cardiovascular machine. If you would like to develop your own weight loss treadmill program here are some ideas: Be creative - make your Treadmill session pleasurable, listen to music or audio books on your MP3 player. Some people prefer to just take the opportunity to think or just day dream. The more you enjoy your Treadmill session, the more likely you are to exercise on your treadmill regularly. Try to exercise daily. Working out on your Treadmill regularly makes your weight loss goals much more likely to happen than if you are only working out only when the mood takes you. Most people that make the switch will tell you that it's easier to workout every day. You don't have to think about whether it's a workout day or not and get prepared for it - just exercise on your treadmill every day - your body will become accustomed to it. It will soon become part of your routine and you will begin to look forward to it. Try to mix in some interval training into your Treadmill sessions each week. Interval training consists of brief periods (about one minute) of more intense exercise incorporated into your Treadmill workouts. You may do a one minute interval of faster walking about every five minutes throughout your workout. Start with a three to five minute warm-up and then five minutes into your walk you do your first interval, one minute of faster walking. At the end of that minute you should be out of breath and ready to slow down. Slow down to your regular walking speed for the next four minutes and then your fifth minute is another one minute interval. Repeat this throughout your workout. By this means you can increase your aerobic fitness level to the limits of your ability. You are in essence crossing the anaerobic threshold into anaerobic metabolism, this forces your body to accept more intense exercise which will in turn make your weight loss gains more achievable. By increasing your basal metabolic rate, interval training cause you to burn more calories a day, and make your exercise less monotonous. Interval training also helps the time pass more quickly. Try walking on your Treadmill with light hand weights of between one and two pounds weight for two to three days per week. Swing your arms and also use a variety of arm movements while walking. This will increase your basal metabolic rate and tone your upper body muscles. Try to do your Treadmill workout first thing in the day. Most people who workout regularly, do so first thing in the morning. If YOU want to exercise regularly, you are more likely to succeed by being an "early bird" In order to add a bit more variety to your routine set one day of the week aside to be your "easy day". This should be a very leisurely session. Consider how good your walks are starting to feel as you continue to lose weight and tone your body. You have probably heard the expression "if you can't measure it, then it doesn't exist". With this in mind make sure that you record your progress. Record the date and time-of-day of your workout, and the distance and/or time you walked. Record the total of the miles or minutes you've walked. Your thoughts or feelings for that particular workout can also be logged. All of the above measures will help to ensure that your Treadmill Exercise Session is that one special time of day to take care of yourself. Don't let anyone or anything keep you from your special time with your Treadmill. Working out on your Treadmill every day will help you achieve your weight loss goals and have a positive impact on all aspects of your life, including physical, mental, and emotional health. If we only consider the issue of weight loss, the Treadmill is significantly superior to any other exercise machine given its associated energy expenditure. While other fitness equipment "fads" gather dust Treadmills have consistently provided quality results and lasting benefits. Treadmills allow you to work at your own pace, but don't allow you to slack off. You'll be able to burn calories efficiently and attain your weight loss targets.

How to Get a Business Loan Fast

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mary_Wise]Mary Wise Regular Financing Options When it comes to business finance, there are many flexible options available such as leasing, factoring, regular loans, etc. However, all these options lack the attribute that we are discussing in the present article. Though sometimes all the above are the cheapest options for financing equipment purchases, manufacturing and internal or foreign sales, the truth is that they fail to provide a solution when time is an issue. If you are about to complete a good deal and a machine broke up and you lack the funds for repairing, you cant wait for a leasing contract to be signed in order to replace the equipment and if the delivery is close enough, you probably wont have enough time to request a regular business loan either. Fast Options for Business Finance There are mainly two finance alternatives when time is an issue: Fast Business Loans and a Business Line of Credit. Which one is the best choice depends on many factors such as: time available, amount needed, recurring, credit situation, income expectation, etc. Fast Business Loans require no long credit verifications. The money you need can be obtained quickly with little paperwork. However, further paperwork and credit checks may be needed after the money is delivered in order to close the deal on better terms. Business Lines of Credit on the other hand, take more time to be approved. But once youve a line of credit agreed, youll be able to borrow the money you need at any time, return it the way you want (with certain limits) and borrow more money as many times as you need it up to the credit maximum. As regards to the amount, business lines of credit will provide you a smaller amount than regular business loans but higher amounts than fast business loans. Moreover, business lines of credit provide a recurring source of money which eliminates the need of applying again whenever you need more cash. Approval for both types of loans is determined by the businesss credit situation. However, fast business loans have fewer requirements than business lines of credit. Nevertheless, approval ratio is high enough for both kind of loans and unless your business has had mayor financial delinquencies in the past approval is almost a certainty in both cases. The Interest Rate charged for fast business loans is higher due to the fact that there are not so many requirements and fewer credit checks. This implies a greater risk for the lender that is compensated by higher rates and higher costs. However, the difference wont be more than 3 or 4 percentage points. Finally your income expectations will also determine which loan option is best for you. Given that fast business loans carry higher interest rates and fixed monthly installments, unless your current and future income guarantee that youll be able to repay the loan, you will probably do better with a business line of credit that offers more flexibility when it comes to the repayment plan. Mary Wise, a professional consultant with twenty years in the financial field, helps people in the process of securing personal loans, mortgage, refinance or consolidation loans and preventing consumers from falling into the hands of fraudulent lenders.

Introduction to Alternative Treatments for Depression

By Janie Jonah There are a number of treatments available to sufferers of depression who are looking for more help than using antidepressants alone in fighting depression. Treatments ranging from herbs and acupuncture to guided imagery are all finding their place in an ever modernising approach to treating depression. Although this field of medicine is vast, it is worth looking at treatments that are becoming increasingly popular with those looking to help them deal with their depression. There are a number of herbal treatments available all claiming to relieve the symptoms of depression. Very few of them however do as most are unstudied or have had limited studies into their effectiveness. Those herbs that are effective are just a few that have undergone multiple clinical trials whose outcome provides clinic proof backed by research. It is important to note that these herbs have proven to be effective only when taking the correct dosage of the herb and in a quality equal or greater to that used in the studies. There is conclusive proof that pharmaceutical-grade St John's Wort is very effective in relieving the symptoms of depression. Studies have found that high quality St John's Wort is just as effective as popular anti-depressive drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil. It also causes less side-effects than the anti-depressive drugs. Studies have thus indicated that high quality St John's Wort is the most effect herbal treatment available for depression. Ginkgo Biloba is considered to be the oldest living tree species in existence. Ginkgo Biloba is affective in increasing blood flow throughout the body. This includes the brain where it helps increase memory function. Memory impairment is one of the symptoms of depression and very prevalent in a major depressive episode. Meditation is the art of breathing. Maintaining a steady breath while sitting relaxes the body and mind. You cultivate mindfulness by concentrating on the present moment and what it brings to you. Some say it is about clearing the mind of clutter, but that is not the sole purpose of meditation. Daily practice will promote relaxation not just during sitting but throughout the day. Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to various parts of the hands and feet such that it will stimulate the body to heal itself. These various points are said to represent various parts of the human body, and by applying pressure to them, they induce healing in that particular part of the body. The ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture involves 'puncturing' the patients skin with very fine needles into carefully positioned points on the human body. Acupuncture stimulates the release of chemicals that alleviate the sensation of pain. It also corrects imbalances by stimulating the body functions to fight illnesses and conditions such as depression. Massage is the art of using touch to promote relaxation concentrating on the link between mind and body. When the body is relaxed this is believed to promote relaxation and calmness in the mind. This will lead to lowering symptoms of depression. There are a number of massage therapies available such as shiatsu, Swedish and spinal release therapy. Guided Imagery uses powerful mental image techniques to promote harmony between the mind and body. The patient is encouraged to see peaceful mental images that create calm within the mind of the patient. This is taught as a coping skill that can be used to fight unhealthy negative emotions such as anger, as well as helping relieving pain, stress and depression. It can also help relieve insomnia which is a symptom of depression and anxiety. Physical exercise produces endorphins which cause a natural 'high' felt by the person. Exercise is known to relax the body and mind along with relieving stress and depression. Author: Janie Jonah

Five or Six Months to be Able to Function Normally After Your Stomach Stapling

By Tina Greatly With a stomach stapling surgery you will note that the surgery involves stapling part of the stomach in order to make it smaller. At the beginning of this surgery the surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen. Then Surgical staples and a plastic band are used to recreate the stomach with a smaller pouch at the top of the stomach. This pouch wont be completely separate from the stomach, but your food will catch in the pouch first and make you feel full sooner. Then once it digests it passes through the small quarter inch opening to the rest of the stomach and on to the smaller intestines. In a stomach stapling the surgeon will create a pouch for you that is between half a cup to a cup so that you dont eat too many calories at a meal before feeling full. After your surgery you can expect to be in a lot of pain. You will have numerous staples and wounds that are going to need a lot of time to fully heal. Your doctor will give you strong pain medication so it may be necessary to have someone else take care of your day to day business as you wont feel like doing very much for the first five weeks or so after the stomach stapling. You will spend about two to four days in the hospital if things go well. Many hospitals wont allow you to check out until youve used the rest and passed gas. This is in order for them to make sure that your bowels are working properly. It may take up to five or six months to be able to function normally after your stomach stapling. While it will take up to a full year for your new stomach to settle in so to speak. Read more stomach stapling articles and stomach stapling surgery news or visit our stomach stapling site.

Children Need More Exercise for Heart Health

By Gabe Mirkin, M.D. Children need at least 90 minutes of exercise a day to avoid heart disease when they are older, according to a new study reported in Lancet (July 23, 2006). The old guidelines recommending 30 minutes of exercise three times a week, or even an hour a day do not appear to be adequate for preventing obesity and heart disease. Researchers used heart rate monitors to measure the activity of 1700 nine- to-fifteen-year-olds in Denmark, Estonia, and Portugal. They then calculated a heart-attack risk score consisting of blood pressure, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and skinfold thickness. They compared physical activity from the heart rate monitors with the heart attack risk-factor score and found that the more active the child, the lower the heart attack risk score. Many children who exercised for 60 minutes a day were still overweight and had high heart attack risk scores. The authors suggest that the lack of regular physical activity is likely to mean that the children are spending too much time watching TV, playing video and computer games, and eating junk food. There is no reason to expect that the results would be different with American children. The current recommendation of at least an hour per day of moderate activity in children may not be sufficient for future heart health.

The $4000 Pay Raise

By Donovan Baldwin If you will stay with me a while, I am going to tell three related stories and then make a point...I promise! Story number one goes back to the days when I was a truck driving instructor. Many new truck drivers are very cautious, and even frightened at first. It is not unusual for a student driver to drive verrrry slowly. However, one young lady was going at incredibly slow speeds in all circumstances, and nothing I could do could get her to speed it up a little. She constantly spoke about never having made any real money in her life, and this gave me an idea. One day, I said, "Shirley, how would you like a $4,000 a year raise?" She said she'd love that, so I went on. "The company is going to pay you 25 cents a mile when you start driving full time. Let's say you can safely improve your speed and efficiency by 10 miles per hour. You will easily drive 50 hours a week or even more. That's at least an extra 500 miles a week. Over the course of a year, even if you only did that 65% of the time, and took a two week vacation, you would still make an extra $4,000.00 a year or more." After that, Shirley speeded up quite a bit and turned into a fine driver. Story number two happened a few days ago. Several years ago, I put my daughter, a single mother, in one of my downlines, created a couple of web sites for her, and from time to time promoted them as well. One means of promotion involved a Pay-Per-Click search engine. Normally, I would send all visitors to my sites, but at the start of each week, I would switch the traffic to one of her sites until she got a couple of sales, then I would switch back. Now, for various reasons, which would take too long to describe here, this cost me about $100 a week out of my advertising funds. Her two sales would net me about $40 in commissions, so my net loss for doing this was $60 a week. One day, it came to me that one of her sites was immensely popular at a certain traffic exchange, but she didn't have internet access and I didn't have the time to get the requisite number of clicks needed weekly to generate the two sales. However, I WAS able to buy a sponsoring position for her at $35 a month. This made her two sales at a cost to me of a little over $8 a week. Commissions from those two sales was still $40, but now I made $32 a week instead of losing $60. Additionally, I used the $100 I had been spending on her on my own sites, netting two additional sales a week for me. I made about $60 per sale, so that was $120 plus the $32 for an increase in revenue of about $150 a week. If this works only 60% of the time, I make over $4,000 a year more than previously, and still shove some business her way. Since over half the sales to new customers result in repeat business, the raise is actually a lot more than that. Story number three also happened recently. A few months ago, I was looking back at some web sites I created back in 2000 and 2001, when I first began teaching myself html. They were pretty basic, but had a lot of good content. I hadn't promoted them in a couple of years, so I loaded them into a search engine submission program I have, and fired them off. A couple of weeks later, they generated a nice little batch of inquiries, several of which resulted in sales. After a few weeks, this tapered off, so I brushed them up and shot them off again. Again, more inquiries, more sales. The increase isn't all that big, but it's averaging about one and a half sales a week. Since I made $60 on average per sale, that's about $90 per week. That's a little over $4,000 a year more than before. I said there was a point to all this, and here it is. Two points, actually. First, in my own experience, and in all the internet marketing and network marketing courses and literature I've studied, the importance of testing, reviewing, and refining your advertising and marketing strategies is of paramount importance. Sometimes simply changing an attitude, a technique, a wording, a process, or something else may be what it takes to generate or rejuvenate a successful process. Second, complacency is a killer. You must always continue to strive to achieve maximum performance. Sitting back and saying, "There. That's done. Now I can quit." will eventually result in failure more often than not. My wife is a fairly successful, semi-professional online poker player, and every time she thinks she's got it all figured out, she realizes that she has to go back over everything she thought she knew and refine it even more to stay on top of her game. Every time she sits back and figures she's got it down to a system, she faces an opponent or situation that requires her to go back to the drawing board, despite her knowledge, skill, and success. So, take a look at what you're doing. No matter how successful, or unsuccessful it may or may not be, review it, refine it, revise it, retry it...massage it and thump it. Who knows? Maybe it will give you a $4,000 a year pay raise...or more! The author is retired from the Army after 21 years of service.

Don't Let Lawyers Kill Your Marketing Efforts

By Phil Grisolia J.P. Morgan said it best: I dont want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do; I hire him to tell me how to do what I want to do. Because I serve the varied needs of some diverse and interesting clients, the marketing efforts I produce are reviewed by an equally interesting array of lawyers. Oh, for any downtown lawyers who may be reading this, you guys whose hourly rates are up there at the high end of the pay scale, you can substitute the word attorney for lawyer. Its a more fitting, upscale name worthy of your fees, right? But back to my story. With very few exceptions, the lawyers Im told to work with whether paid staffers or third-parties whove been retained by my clients seem to share a single, frustrating point of view when reviewing sales and marketing copy. And it doesnt seem to make much difference whether the words are mine or those of other copywriters. Lawyers seem determined to delete every word thats even remotely liable to improve sales. Its not that theres anything inherently wrong with words that get people to buy. Its just an attitude common among lawyers when reviewing anything to do with sales or marketing. As one lawyer described that attitude, I wont approve anything that can even remotely come back and bite me in the ____. Her fellow attorney added, somewhat defensively, Neither of us wants to lose our jobs because we approved a whacko idea dreamed up by some marketing guru. Whacko is probably not the appropriate word to describe even the most creative marketing effort. Its also worth noting that most marketing gurus whether were in-house or outside service-providers are paid to generate revenue, revenue that typically results from sales. We gurus are expected by our clients and employers to jump over, under, around or through whatever limitations were presented with including those imposed by lawyers. Our job is to transform the seemingly impossible into something thats both doable and profitable. However, and with all due respect, neither lawyers nor attorneys have ever been noted as the most imaginative people in the world. Most are quite content to live within and be confined by the limits of the laws they work with. Think about it. When was the last time you heard a lawyer or even an attorney encourage anyone to think outside the box.? What prompted my most recent discussion with this dynamic duo of the legal world was their mandate that I delete from the direct mail copy Id written the two words that were the very essence of the motor club memberships my client was selling safety and security. Their deletions were bad enough, but the air of finality with which these and most other lawyers hand down such mandates is rivaled only by the Almighty when He presented Moses with the 10 Commandments. From a copywriters point of view, too many lawyers seem to fancy themselves the final authority on effective copy. And too many of us marketing gurus along with the companies we work for allow them to get away with it, even though there are other options. What kinds of options? These two have worked extremely well with my clients: 1. Share with management, those execs who hire the lawyers, what J. P. Morgan said he expected of a lawyer. Explain to management the benefits that result when the focus of their lawyers shifts from words they want to eliminate to words they consider defensible, words capable of being successfully defended in the unlikely event the matter ends up in court. 2. Ask management to insist that their marketing people, whether hired guns or in-house staffers, meet face to face with reviewing lawyers to discuss whatever changes those lawyers want made. Freedom to discuss is freedom to negotiate. Negotiate what? The substitution of words or phrases with meanings similar to the ones the lawyers want stricken, but words not as likely to be problematic. There are a great many very good words out there for both sides to agree on. The role of the lawyer should not be to protect the company from every remotely conceivable contingency. It should be to advise management and the marketing staff whether or not the proposed marketing copy is reasonably defensible. J.P. Morgan did quite well by letting his attorneys know up front what he expected of them: tell me how to do what I want to do. Theres a lesson there for all to learn. 2006, Philip A.

Wading Tips For The Modern Fly Fisher

By Stanley Stanton A certain amount of physical conditioning is needed to do any kind of serious wading. You will need do those 45-minute morning walks three or four times a week to get in shape. Wading in rivers is not the same as walking down to the corner store for the morning paper. For your own safety and enjoyment it pays to be fit. For most fly-fishing situations, stocking foot type waders are the best because they are lightweight, easy to get on and off, and give better flexibility and comfort. The breathable type wader is the best for most wading situations. They are cool in the warmer months of the year and warm in colder water conditions when used with the proper wading underwear. However, I prefer neoprene type waders during the winter and late fall months given the cold weather and water conditions here in Oregon. Neoprene also gives the user the added benefit of flotation should you happen to fall in that icy cold water. It is also a very good idea to wear a float coat or some type life jacket just to be on the safe side during the colder months of the year. Why are waders better than hip boots? Simply put, waders keep your back side dry when it rains, and there are those special times when fly fishing that the waders will allow you to get out farther from shore line. Many times waders will allow you to move to a better position so you can cast to that special place that holds fish. Good quality wading shoes with felt soles are a very good investment. Better yet, felt soles wading shoes with studs or cleats are even better and a must when wading bedrock rivers, or rivers with large round rocks. Felts with studs or cleats will also help you avoid lower back pain caused by slipping and sliding around those smooth slimy rocks during a long day of fishing. Take my word for it; you do not want to spoil a destination fishing trip by being stove-up with lower back pain. So spend the extra bucks and invest in a good pair of wading shoes with felt soles and studs. If you now have wading shoes with only felt soles, you can purchase studded sandals or have a shoe shop replace your present felts with studded felts. Did you know that most people fall down wading when they first enter the water? I learned this when I was a kid and my uncle did just that every time he took me fishing. He only had hip boots, and he always fell in just as soon as he entered the water. I couldn't understand why he even wore boots; they were always half full of water. Here are a few wading tips my uncle could have used:
When starting out, take your time and get the feel for the conditions of the river bottom, the flow of the current and water clarity. After several minutes in the water you may need to adjust your wading boot strings or sandal bindings. You don't want your feet slipping back and forth inside your wading boots; you need a solid firm footing while wading. When you first enter the water, your steps should be about half the distance they would be if you were walking on dry solid ground. Keeping your feet apart about the width of your shoulders will also help you to maintain balance while in the water. When you need to move down stream, side-step and keep your body parallel to the flow of the current. Do not try to back out of the river, you must turn around and walk out just like you walked into the river. For example, if you are in the river and the current is flowing from your left to right, make your turn on your right foot, using it as a pivot point and let the current help make the turn with the left foot. Just do the opposite if the current is flowing from your right to left. Never try to turn into the current flow to make a turn. Always take your time and be careful, if you are uncertain about your wading abilities be sure to wear a flotation device. If you feel uneasy about wading for any reason, consider using a wading staff. They are inexpensive and will give you that needed third leg when you need it. You might even try making one out of that old golf club or ski pole you have gathering dust in the corner of the garage. Remember to wrap the wading staff tip with duct tape to prevent that clanging noise on the river bottom. Please remember to be careful while you are on the river, do not harm our wonderful land, dont litter, and please practice catch and release for the next generation.
