Marketing Your Home for Sale

When it comes to marketing your home for sale, many owners who decide to sell their homes themselves run up against the difficulty of marketing their homes for maximum exposure. For this reason it is a good idea to utilize a professional realtor.

Marketing is everything when it comes to the sale of a home. Without proper exposure it becomes increasingly difficult to get the attention of prospective buyers. An agent can offer an already established web presence which is one of the best ways to gain attention for your home. Let’s face it, this is the era of the internet. Most home buyers will go to the internet long before they begin working with a realtor, and will have a good idea of the homes that they want to see. This is why it is vital for a realtor or agent to have a commanding web presence.

Another important aspect of marketing your home that an agent excels at is making your visible to other agents. This is one of the most important steps in the home sales process. Normally an agent will have cultivated working relationships with groups of buyers agents in the community and will hold realtor-exclusive showings where your home can be showcased to all the agents in your town/city. As you can imagine, the benefits of this are immeasurable. In addition, a realtor also has an operating budget to secure print and media advertising. This should include full page color advertisements in the local newspaper, and flyers that are available 24 hours a day on the sign in your front yard. This kind of coverage is almost impossible to gain without a realtors aid.

In marketing your home, a realtor is making an investment of time, effort, and money in your property. It is in their best interest to see that your home is sold in a timely manner and for the best price possible. They are able to showcase your home in a fashion that most home owners cannot achieve due to the time involved. They have more access to marketing media and have an intricte knowledge of the market. Ask your realtor what it is that they do to market a home properly, you might be surprised.

Green Tea The First Line Of Defense Against Cancer

In a recent international conference, new findings regarding the fighting power of green tea against cancer were unveiled.
At this time, several important laboratories around the world are studying the fighting effects against cancer of the green tea at cellular level.

While Asian people is used to drink green tea regularly in their diets, western people is still not so convinced about the power against cancer that green tea can provide them and lack of knowledge of the benefit of green tea is mainly the cause for such behavior.

Dr. Gasiewicz, from Rochester Medical Center, has been studying a particular chemical found in green tea with great success, finding throughout his research that Green Tea can actually interrupt cancer process at the very begining of the illness.
As he found in his research, green tea protects cells as it has an active substance called EGCG which seems to target one protein at a precision that cancer drugs are not able to match. This protein is common in our bodies and is widely found in several kinds of cancer.

As this protein is present in most cancer cells, scientists believe that sometimes such protein helps to trigger the series of changes in cells that lately will cause cancer.

If this happen to be true, green tea directly prevent cancer at an unprecedented level which not even current drugs can, especially because we are talking about prevention, because this component of green tea (EGCG) will make potentially harmful genes less likely to get turned on.

Anti-Cancer Diet

If this is confirmed, it would explain the results obtained in several studies conducted in Asia, where green tea consumption is common and it is known that cause a lower risk for cancers that are very different one from the other.

Such studies conducted in Asia, which link green tea to reduced risk for breast, prostate, bladder, colon, stomach, pancreatic and esophageal cancer can be explained because as found in this study, it fights a common denominator found in all these kinds of cancer.

Even more, green tea’s capabilities has an impressive targeted precision which drugs still can’t, working flawlessly to fight the initial stages of cancer, even before that the protein described above sends the biochemical signals that trigger cancer in our bodies.

To have a clue about how much green tea is needed to drink daily, Asian people drink an average 3-4 cups of green tea.

According to surveys, western people is far from that, having less than 1% drinking 2-3 cups and nearly 70% is saying that they do not drink green tea or have only drank it rarely or never.

Drinking green tea every day is a great way to protect your cells against cancer, which is something that we all should do.

If you do not find green tea appealing, try different kinds of teas and add sugar, honey or lemon to make it tastier for you and start your fight against cancer much before eventually you have to.

Are You Still Hitting A Slice Even After Golf Instruction?

So the week is over and you and your group are finally at the first tee. And you are so glad you have a chance to play a round with your friends and just forget about work and all that goes with it.

It’s a beautiful day. Sun is shining bright and warm, the sky is so blue it can’t be real.

What a day!

You are up.

And as you get ready to tee off, you remember that your ball flight is left to right and so you must aim to the left to compensate. You think that maybe this time you won’t slice the ball, but that thought quickly dissipates into the world of ” not true” and reality sets itself firmly back into your mind. For you know that your slice will not disappoint you.

And so you take your backswing and wallop the damn thing out over the lake to the left, is it coming back ? Oh no .. you think, it’s going straight… wait, no here it comes .. back to the right. Just like it always does. Into the far right rough, just where it always goes.

If you could just hit it a little more straight you would surely hit it a lot further.

You once again promise yourself that you will take that golf lesson from the pro next week.

One golf swing instruction should take care of that slice once and for all. That’s what you may think.

So the round went well, you had fun and didn’t play too bad.

The week went by fast and now you are going to do what you promised and take that golf lesson.

And here is what happens.

Your golf instructor tells you the following:

Look you know that the slice occurs because of your downswing. But you have to be aware that all sorts of things have gone wrong before you even begin the backswing, let alone the downswing.

But if you want to get right to the actual movement that creates the spin on the ball that makes it go to the left and then to the right … well it is referred to as an ” over the top move”

This move happens when the clubhead comes from the top of your backswing to outside of your target line into the ball and continues on to the inside of your target line.

Now think about what I just said for a minute.

In most cases the clubface will be open and you will hit a glancing blow outside of the ball to inside of the ball. Kinda like a foul ball in baseball, where the bat only hits some of the baseball below it equator. Or on the bottom of the ball.

Sometimes the clubface is closed, in this case you hit it dead left, no slice, maybe a snap hook. Do not be encouraged by this. It is not a draw gone astray. The problems are exactly the same ” hitting from the top”

Generally you will end up off balance, your weight will be more on the right side and your right shoulder will be higher than your left. This is also called hitting from the top because there normally is little if any weight shift in this move.

Have you ever seen the guy who swings and his left foot swings around on his finish, off the ground and it’s a struggle for him to remain standing? All of his weight is on his right side?

The fact that the club is outside the target line and open will is unavoidable if you have an over the top swing.

The club is off plane and out of it’s proper swing path. Neither is a good thing and tons of potential power is lost through this draining move.

In golf it would be a side swipe and you will bet some nasty spinning from this move. Left to right.

In this golf instruction you will learn that most folks who suffer from the over the top move have similar grips. Wrong grips I might add.

In this golf lesson you will note that this wrong grip is always a weak one. Left hand too far under the grip and the right hand too far on top of the grip. This grip tends to force an over the top move and it tends to prevent a release of the clubhead at impact or better stated it keeps the clubface open at impact.

Check you grip.. is it weak? If yes change it now to at least a neutral grip.

The clubhead must come down to your right side, not out and around the ball. Your right elbow can lead this first move to your right side. So… right elbow to your right side = first move

Use it as a mini drill .. half swing back with your new grip.. right elbow to the right side, hit the inside of the golf ball.

Roll a towel up.. lay it on the out side of the ball.. about 11/2 inches away parallel to the target line. lengthwise… now use the mini drill to hit balls .. do not hit the towel.. got it? Do not hit the towel.

Hit the inside of the golf ball and do not hit the towel and don’t cheat.

This will help you get an inside swing path and prevent the over the top move.

One more time. Using your new grip, half back swing, right elbow to the right side first move, continue to push the clubhead toward the inside of the golf ball and do not hit the towel.

Gradually increase the length and speed of this move and soon you will no longer hit a slice and you will know why. Very important.

A Simple Golf Swing is a thing of beauty. You could actually have one too, have a look if you want more information about how to develop a consistent Simple Golf Swing and shoot in the 80’s in 14 days or less:

Is ULSF As Safe For Diesel Engines As They Say?

Loss of Energy (Mileage)

The processing required to reduce sulfur to 15 ppm also reduces the aromatics content and density of diesel fuel, resulting in a reduction in energy content (BTU/gal). Chevron tells you to expected a reduction in energy content of 1% and may affect fuel mileage.
Recent calls from disgruntled long-haul diesel drivers have stated much higher losses in mileage. Most diesel owners are reporting about 8-10%. Tim Riley, a VP of Operations at Exclusive Nationwide, an national expedited delivery service states, “all of my 31 drivers have lost 2 miles/gallon in highway driving with ULSF.”

Loss of Lubricity

Lubricity is a measure of the fuel’s ability to lubricate and protect the various parts of the engine’s fuel injection system from wear. Althrough sulfur is not a lubricant, the process used to reduce the sulfur also reduces the fuel’s lubricating properties. The severe hydrotreating removes naturally-occurring lubricity agents in diesel fuel. Fuel is the only conduit the injectors & fuel pump surfaces have for lubrication. The loss of lubricity in ULSF will expose metal surfaces in the fuel system and engine top-end to greater friction and wear. Exclusive Nationwide told us that last month alone, 5 of their diesel drivers had an average cost of $3000.00 in injector work done to their trucks. None of his drivers use a high quality diesel additive. Dealerships we spoke with say that since the introduction of ULSF, injector repairs are increasing.

Loss of Corrosion Resistance

Equipment Manufacturers Institute (EMI) reports that ULSF can lose natural antioxidants that help prevent the fuel from forming gums & sludges. Antioxidant properties are vital in modern fuel systems that are exposed to higher operating temperatures. ULSF becomes less stable with the additional sulfur processing. “Fuel stability” is a term used to describe fuel’s resistance to the formation of gums and insoluble oxidation products. Fuels with poor oxidation stability contain insoluble particles that can plug fuel filters. This may lead to decreased engine performance or engine stalling from fuel starvation. Oxidation is thought to cause the premature deterioration of older seal material and cause leaking of injectors when the sulfur content in diesel fuel is drastically lowered.
A Chevron bulletin tells us that a small number of vehicles may require preventative maintenance in the form of upgrading certain engine and fuel system seals that may not perform well in the transition to the new fuel and could leak. Studies of test fleets have indicated that fuel system leaks are not exclusive to a particular engine type, fuel type or geographic region.

SUMMARY

The additional hydrotreating of diesel fuel to get 15 ppm affects the energy of the fuel, its lubricity, and its corrosion resistance properties. Big oil companies will tell you they treat the fuel to meet lubricity standards, but the only monitoring currently is to determine if the diesel fuel is <15 ppm sulfur. At best, most fuel suppliers use the lowest additive concentration (LAC), which does not always meet the minimum lubricity standards.
ULSF is here to stay and the only defense is a high quality diesel fuel additive. A good additive provides injector & fuel pump lubrication, anticorrosion & seal protection, and restores fuel quality for improved mileage.

I have been an independent AMSOIL dealer for 6 years. As a national claims adjuster for 25 yrs, I drove thousands of miles every year, most of it, spent looking for oil change shops. A church friend told me about AMSOIL’s 25,000 mile diesel oils & filters so I tried them, sceptically at first. My truck now has 250,000 miles and runs perfect. I immediately noticed 5% better mileage, easier starts, & minimal diesel smoke & smell. Using AMSOIL has saved me at least $200.00 a year. I have alot of diesel mechanic friends that believe in AMSOIL as well.
First to introduce synthetic diesel oil in 1975, AMSOIL is still the leader in synthetic lubrication technology, nanofiber filtration, & fuel additives. AMSOIL is much less expensive than other name brands per mile.

Acupressure Healing

Can you cause mental and emotional changes to your body to accelerate healing?

Are there energy centers on your body to access hormones, enzymes and neuropeptides of healing? Can you trigger your phagocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages and leukocytes to excite your natural killer, bone marrow and
thymus immune systems? What are T and B cells?

Energy Centers

There are seven wheels or discs energizing our mind, body and emotions.

1. Starting at base of the spine, this Root center vibrates with the color Red and
is believed to influence health, security and prosperity.

2. Lower back (Genital-Sacral area) is used to correct movement, sensations, emotions and desire. It mediates the ability to react to change. It resonates with
the color Orange.

3. Solar-Plexus (Enteric Nervous Center - intestines) is one of the most powerful energy enters. It resonates with the color Yellow and influences personal power, will
and autonomy.

4. The Heart is your emotional center interacting with the Limbic System. It resonates with the color Green. It trigger the power of love, and the unities, mind and body, ego and unity, male and female.

5. Throat orders our world symbolically through vibrations leading to communication. Creativity is often an attribute of our verbal signals. It resonates to
the color Blue.

6. Brow (3rd eye) known as the Pineal Gland is involved in seeing and intuition. Mental imagery is an element of this energy center. It resonates with the color Indigo (purple).

7. Crown is a very powerful energy center involved in knowledge, learning and memory. It resonates with the color Violet.

Mudras

The Sanskrit word for gestures made with the fingers is Mudras. Each finger of your hands is electro-magnetic and involved in polarity.

Your Pinky finger maintains a Positive-charge; your Ring finger has a Negative-charge; your Middle finger has a Positive-charge; your Index (pointer) has a Negative-charge; your Thumb has No charge.

In magnets and the fingers of Homo sapiens, opposites attract. In particular
pay attention to your index and middle fingers, they work as a team.
In order to active the powers of the seven energy centers, use the index and middle
fingers of your left hand to knock seven-times at the entrance.

For the reduction or elimination of pain you must remember your left hand empowers your right-side and your right hand influences your left-side. See:
decussation and chiasma, a reversal of the nervous system.

When the pain emanates from the left side, trigger accelerated healing using the
fingers of the right hand.

Face Knocking Points

There are powerful acupuncture points at a) the beginning of the left eyebrow,
b) under the left-eye, and c) the termination of the side of the left eye.

Directly under the nose is the d) Philtrum area, and below the lower lip e) is the
Mentrum energy center.

How to activate these five facial points involves a ritualistic knocking three-times on
each.

Extra-Ocular-Muscles

There are six eye-movement muscles for restructuring in each eye.

Four are called Rectus muscles: Lateral, Medial, Superior and Inferior;
two are Oblique muscles, Superior and Inferior.

The Knowledge Economy causes a narrow focus of your eyes. When you use a
computer, watch TV, play a video game, read and speak face-to-face, it is standard
operating procedure to use Tunnel-Vision and narrow your focus and limit your
mind to left-brain skills.

Speedlearners use a Broad (wide) Focus known as Going Lizard, activating your peripheral vision. A result of this focus is triggering your right brain to complement
the work of your left brain in a more resonant manner. Synchronizing both hemispheres to operate in-sync produces a more balanced use of your brain.

The secret is a two-minute exercise moving your eyes into each of the six muscle positions. We have reports from students of improved vision and increased reading
speed after 21 days of practice. It requires up to a month to create a habit (neuropathway).

Endwords

We recommend the use of medical physicians for the body and psychologists for
emotional difficulties. Some students suggest they find relief in the self-help manipulating of these energy centers. Certainly this is not a substitution for professional care.

See ya,

Discover The Health Benefits of Carrots

One of the health benefits of carrots is well known: the carrot is rich in beta-carotene, which the body stores and converts to vitamin A as it is needed.

Vitamin A deficiency leads to poor vision; thus, the age-old parental advice concerning the benefits of carrots to good vision can be scientifically supported.

The many components (sometimes referred to as flavonoids) that cause fruits and vegetables to have different colors are believed to be important to human health.

The compound that makes carrots and other vegetables orange is called “carotene”, named aptly after the carrot. The overall importance of these individual compounds to human health is the matter of some debate. In other words, the health benefits of carrots may not be associated with one single compound, but with the numerous vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and dietary fiber that it contains.

For many years scientists have isolated these individual components and studied their effects on human diseases in laboratory test tubes and animal models, as well as in clinical trials, which involve humans. The hope was that the benefits of carrots and other fruits and vegetables could be obtained by taking a “pill”.

Researchers have now shown that in many instances synthetic and isolated compounds can have toxic effects on the human body. This seems contradictory to the known health benefits of carrots and other fruits and vegetables, but it is likely that all of the different compounds found in a healthy diet work together.

In addition, dietary sources of these isolated compounds do not exhibit any toxic effects in the test-tube or in human beings.

As an example, some of the first supplements that came on the market contained a synthesized version of vitamin A derived from animal sources. Fish liver oils contain this form of vitamin A. It has been shown that too much vitamin A can be harmful or fatal.

Thus, people taking large doses of pre-formed vitamin A, hoping to improve night vision or to obtain other benefits, have been the victims of what is called “vitamin A toxicity”. This form of vitamin A is also suspected to contribute to osteoporosis, even at non-toxic levels.

Beta-carotene, on the other hand, is stored in the body and converted to vitamin A on an “as-needed” basis, so there is no risk of vitamin A toxicity to counter the health benefits of carrots in the diet. Excessive consumption of beta-carotene or carrots can lead to a condition called “carotenosis”, characterized by an orange tint to the skin. Otherwise, the condition is not dangerous.

Beta-carotene is an antioxidant, which means that it counters the damaging effects of oxygen on the cells of the body. Various antioxidants have been evaluated as cancer preventatives, since damage to the cells by oxygen and other chemicals can lead to the formation of cancerous tumors.

Many of the health benefits of carrots and other vegetables in the diet are related to the possibility of a reduced risk of cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends a diet rich in a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains to obtain the most benefits.

Researchers aware of a relationship between carotene-rich fruits and vegetables and a lower incidence of lung cancer have attempted to reproduce the effect using beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin E and other supplements.

The conclusion of these studies was surprising. Rather than reducing the growth of the cancer, these isolated compounds appeared to increase both the rate of growth and increase the risk of mortality from the lung cancers.

The American Cancer Society has called for a warning to be placed on supplements containing these isolated compounds.

A better option for people who want the health benefits of carrots in capsule form is found in whole food supplements.

These whole food supplements — Juice Plus+® being one of the most popular — are manufactured by dehydrating and concentrating the whole food, whether it is fruits, vegetables or whole grains.

Labiaplasty - Vaginal Plastic Surgery Reshapes Large or Uneven Labia

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that vaginal rejuvenation is one of the fastest-growing plastic surgery procedures in the U.S. — increasing 30% between 2005 and 2006 alone. One of the most popular of these procedures is labiaplasty, plastic surgery to reduce and/or balance the size of the labia minora, or inner vaginal lips.

Although the trend may have started in LA and New York, it has clearly made its way into America’s heartland. Women of all ages and backgrounds are seeking labiaplasty.

Why are so many women opting for labiaplasty?
Several factors are contributing to the rising popularity of labiaplasty:

  • The overall increase in plastic surgery.
  • The popularity of bikini waxing — making women more aware of how their genitals look.
  • The abundance of sexually explicit material on TV, online and in print — giving women a standard of comparison for their genitals’ appearance.

What causes abnormally shaped vaginal lips?
Large or uneven vaginal lips can be caused by genetics, childbirth or hormonal changes. Surgery addresses the structure and function of the vaginal lips
Labiaplasty can correct problems with both the appearance and functionality of a woman’s genitals. Some women are embarrassed because their large labia are noticeable when wearing a bathing suit or tight-fitting jeans. Others with large vaginal lips have pain or discomfort during sex or while exercising or riding a bicycle.

Sometimes labiaplasty is covered by insurance
Large or uneven labia can also cause problems with urination and feminine hygiene. The extra skin is very prone to excessive moisture and infections. If the surgery is medically necessary, it may be covered by health insurance.

In some cases, women seek labiaplasty after their sexual partner has made a comment about their genitalia. But more often, the woman is motivated by her own physical and/or psychological discomfort with her body.

A patient shares her story
“Carol,” a 26-year-old woman, had labiaplasty to correct her large, uneven labia. “I had a two-inch flap of extra skin on one side, and a one-inch flap on the other,” she recalls. “It was very embarrassing in sexual situations,” she admits. “I’d have irritation, scraping and bleeding during sex — and the extra skin irritated my partner, too.”

After her labiaplasty, Carol could hardly wait to see the results. “I’ve already seen myself in the mirror,” she said shortly after surgery. “I love it! I feel like a normal woman!”

A Fat Loss Tip - The One Thing You Should Know

When people come up to me and ask me what I think the number one fat loss tip is, I always reply with the exact same thing.

Just Keep Moving Forward

Many people get so wrapped up chasing this fat loss tip or that fat loss tip that they never get around to doing anything at all.

It’s a shame.

Always put your best foot forward. Keep stepping in the right direction. Quit over-analyzing the situation. There are no “magic” shortcuts.

Now, all that being said, is it possible to go in the wrong direction?

Absolutely.

But, how are you going to know that you’re going in the wrong direction if you aren’t going anywhere. Sure, there are some common properties when it comes to many weight loss tips. But, there isn’t a single one that will help you if you just don’t do anything at all.

Beware Analysis Paralysis.

So, the largest fat loss tip that I can give you is to just do something. If it isn’t working, you can always tweak it. Don’t stop trying and don’t worry about any feelings of desperation.

Remember, every breakthrough comes after a significant amount of effort. Sometimes, you don’t feel like anything is happening (but it is).

Fat loss is more mental than most people will ever know. Don’t sabotage yourself.

Take all of your fat loss tips and put one or two into action. You’ll never get anywhere if you never get anything going. So, the word for today is “action”. What can you put into action today?

You’ll never know where you are going unless you decide that it’s time to “go”.

Your body will thank you for it.

Brad Howard’s Fat Loss Black Book delves into the “meat and potatoes” of all of the misinformation generated by the diet and fitness industry today. An industry veteran for years, his fat loss tips completely shatter all of the myths and misguided, outdated advice being propagated today.

How To Manage Your Business Projects Effectively

One of the certain aspects of working life is that unexpectedly you can be assigned a project to do. In fact if you are building a business of your own you will have long-term projects that are essential to its profitable development.

But in order to ensure the smooth and successful running of your business it’s vital to have efficient systems in place to deal with these projects. Most of them will have deadlines for completion at some point in the future. But it is how you deal with these deadlines that will determine how efficient you are at managing your business.

The simple thing to do is to schedule the project in your diary for perhaps a few days before the completion date, even if it is several weeks away. This is a big mistake!

In order to effectively control your time you should be in the habit of using lists to plan your working days. Each day you should have a daily task list of the things that must be done. Anything new that comes in during the day should normally be put onto your list for the following day. Only the genuine things that can’t wait until tomorrow should be added to the list to do the same day.

So as soon as you are given a project to deal with you must put an item to start it on your must do list for the next day. That item will be to simply write a checklist for the project. You must do this or else you will find that as the deadline approaches you have to put off other important tasks in order to get the project completed. Then all of the good habits you have developed in using lists to manage your time will be to no avail.

So when the next day arrives one of your must do tasks will be to write your project checklist. This must contain dates for completing each part of your project. The plan should be to finish it well before the deadline so that you can allocate time if need be for any last minute revisions.

Break the project down into smaller parts and set dates in your diary for doing each of them. Each one should go into your diary the day before you are going to do it so that you can include the task on your daily task list for the following day. That way you are still going to retain effective control over how you use your time and keep in place an efficient management system. You should also be sure to include dates for regular checks on progress and make any adjustments as necessary. That way you will remain in control of the time-frame for the project.

In effectively managing any project there a number of key elements that must be included. The following gives a summary of what they are:

- Define the task - It is essential that you write clearly what has to be done and what the end result must be.

- Make a plan - Decide step by step what needs to be done and break it down into smaller parts. Then schedule dates for the completion of the individual tasks that will make up the whole project.

- Allocate work and resources - Ensure that you know what has to be done at each stage, what resources you will need , and whether other people are to be involved in doing some of the work. If you are to delegate any of the work it is important that you give the other people involved sufficient time to complete it. They will need to be able to manage their part of the project in exactly the same way that you are, so be sure to give them clear instructions and with enough advance notice. Also ensure that the time-scales for their work are in line with the other project tasks.

- Put in place controls to ensure the pace of the work and its quality. You must set standards which must be adhered to and so you must have a way of monitoring them.

- Regularly check performance against the plan - It is essential that part of the process is to have regular reviews of progress measured against the plan. Where others are working on specific tasks it is vital to give them feedback on their contribution.

- Adjust the plan as necessary to ensure completion - By setting a completion date ahead of the actual deadline you should always have the time and flexibility to make any adjustments that become necessary and still get the project completed on time.

Work in this way and all of your projects will get completed in an efficient manner and will slot in smoothly with your existing effective management systems. You will keep control of all the work that you have to do and so ensure that your business remains on track to making the profits you desire.
